Abstract:
An analytical method, the sections method, is developed to build a close link between the singularities of the surface of a body and the asymptotic behaviour of its amplitude form factor at large scattering vector, q. In contrast with a sphere, for which the asymptotic behaviour is in q −2, surface singularities lead to both narrow regions, for which the amplitude form factor exhibits trailing behaviour, and extended regions, for which it exhibits a rapid decrease. A numerical study of a simple example, the fourfold truncated sphere, illustrates the usefulness of these analytical predictions.

Abstract:
With the increased resolution capability of modern sensors, an object should be considered as extended if the target extent is larger than the sensor resolution. Multiple maneuvering extended object tracking (MMEOT) uses not only measurements of the target centroid but also high-resolution sensor measurements which may resolve individual features or measurement sources. MMEOT aims to jointly estimate object number, centroid states, and extension states. However, unknown and time-varying maneuvers of multiple objects produce difficulties in terms of accurate estimation. For multiple maneuvering star-convex extended objects using random hypersurface models (RHMs) in particular, their complex maneuvering behaviors are difficult to be described accurately and handled effectively. To deal with these problems, this paper proposes an interacting multiple model Gaussian mixture probability hypothesis density (IMM-GMPHD) filter for multiple maneuvering extended object tracking. In this filter, linear maneuver models derived from RHMs are utilized to describe different turn maneuvers of star-convex extended objects accurately. Based on these, an IMM-GMPHD filtering recursive form is given by deriving new update and merging formulas of model probabilities for extended objects. Gaussian mixture components of different posterior intensities are also pruned and merged accurately. More importantly, the geometrical significance of object extension states is fully considered and exploited in this filter. This contributes to the accurate estimation of object extensions. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed tracking approach—it can obtain the joint estimation of object number, kinematic states, and object extensions in complex maneuvering scenarios.

Abstract:
SUMMARYThis paper presents a new cooperative object transportation technique using parallel line formation with a circular shift. Typical areas of research in relation to object transportation are grasping, pushing, and caging techniques, but these require precise grasping behaviors, iterative motion correction according to the object pose, and the real-time acquisition of the object shape, respectively. In this paper, the proposed technique does not need to consider the shape or the pose of objects, and equipped tools are not necessary for object transportation because objects are transported by pushing behavior only. Multiple robots create parallel line formation using a virtual electric dipole field and then push multiple objects into the formation. This parallel line is extended to the goal using cyclic motion by the robots and the objects are transported to the goal by pushing behavior. The above processes are decentralized and activated based on the finite state machine of each robot. Simulations and practical experiments are presented to verify the proposed technique.

Abstract:
This paper examines the syntactic and semantic behavior of object arguments in Moro, a Kordofanian language spoken in central Sudan. In particular, we focus on multiple object constructions (ditransitives, applicatives, and causatives) and show that these objects exhibit symmetrical syntactic behavior; e.g., any object can passivize or be realized as an object marker, and all can do so simultaneously. Moreover, we demonstrate that each object can bear any of the non-agentive roles in a verb’s semantic role inventory and that the resulting ambiguities are an entailment of symmetrical object constructions of the type found in Moro. Previous treatments of symmetrical languages have assumed a syntactic asymmetry between multiple objects and have developed theoretical analyses that treat symmetrical behaviors as departures from an asymmetrical basic organization of clausal syntax. We take a different approach: we develop a Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar account that allows a partial ordering of the argument structure (arg-st) list. The guiding idea is that languages differ with respect to the organization of theirarg-stlists and their consequences for grammatical function realization: there is no privileged encoding, but there is large variation within the parameters defined byarg-storganization. This accounts directly for the symmetrical behaviors of multiple objects. We also show how this approach can be extended to account for certain asymmetrical behaviors in Moro.

Abstract:
If digital objects are abundant and ubiquitous, why should consumers pay for, much less collect them? The qualities of digital code present numerous challenges for collecting, yet digital collecting can and does occur. We explore the role of companies in constructing digital consumption objects that encourage and support collecting behaviours, identifying material configuration techniques that materialize these objects as elusive and authentic. Such techniques, we argue, may facilitate those pleasures of collecting otherwise absent in the digital realm. We extend theories of collecting by highlighting the role of objects and the companies that construct them in materializing digital collecting. More broadly, we extend theories of digital materiality by highlighting processes of digital material configuration that occur in the pre-objectification phase of materialization, acknowledging the role of marketing and design in shaping the qualities exhibited by digital consumption objects and, consequently, related consumption behaviours and experiences.

Abstract:
This paper discusses a method for intelligent computer modeling of engineering objects by extended application of advanced effective entities as features for intent of engineers, behavior of modeled objects, and adaptivities. These and other descriptions are organized in engineering process oriented environment adaptive model objects. Knowledge is defined for engineering activities by using intent of humans. Model objects apply embedded, integrated, and referred knowledge representations according to the source and nature of design intent. Behaviors of the modeled engineering objects are simulated for typical sets of circumstances called as situations. Results of a simulation are evaluated then applied at adaptive actions by the model objects. In this way, a solution has been stablished for human intent driven control of decision assistance. This paper starts with an introduction of a multilevel modeling in which knowledge represents human intent. Following this, process of modeling by human intent as well as essential approaches for creation and application of design intent description in decision making are outlined. Next, application of integrated and environment adaptive model object is proposed and a four leveled modeling by behavior and associativity features is explained. Finally, selected issues for implementation of the proposed modeling in CAD/CAM environments are concluded.

In this paper we review cataclysmic variables (CVs) discussing several hot points about the renewing interest of today astrophysics about these sources. We will briefly discuss also about classical and recurrent novae, as well as the intriguing problem of progenitors of the Type Ia supernovae. This paper is an extended and updated version of the review by Giovannelli (2008). Because of limited length of the paper and our knowledge, this review does not pretend to be complete. However, we would like to demonstrate that the improvement on knowledge of the physics of our Universe is strictly related also with the multifrequency behaviour of CVs, which apparently in the recent past lost to have a leading position in modern astrophysics.

Abstract:
We consider the behaviour of solutions to the nonlinear shallow-water equations which describe wave runup on a plane beach, concentrating on the behaviour at and just behind the moving shoreline. We develop regular series expansions for the hydrodynamic variables behind the shoreline, which are valid for any smooth initial condition for the waveform. We then develop asymptotic descriptions of the shoreline motion under localized initial conditions, in particular a localized Gaussian waveform: we obtain estimates for the maximum runup and drawdown of the wave, for its maximum velocities and the forces it is able to exert on objects in its path, and for the conditions under which such a wave breaks down. We show how these results may be extended to include initial velocity conditions and initial waveforms which may be approximated as the sum of several Gaussians. Finally, we relate these results tentatively to the observed behaviour of a tsunami.

Abstract:
The internet of things (IoT) is one of the most disrupting revolutions that is characterizing the technology ecosystem. In the near future, the IoT will have a significant impact on people’s lives and on the design and developments of new paradigms and architectures coping with a completely new set of challenges and service categories. The IoT can be described as an ecosystem where a massive number of constrained devices (denoted as smart objects) will be deployed and connected to cooperate for multiple purposes, such a data collection, actuation, and interaction with people. In order to meet the specific requirements, IoT services may be deployed leveraging a hybrid architecture that will involve services deployed on the edge and the cloud. In this context, one of the challenges is to create an infrastructure of objects and microservices operating between both the edge and in the cloud that can be easily updated and extended with new features and functionalities without the need of updating or re-deploying smart objects. This work introduces a new concept for extending smart objects’ support for cloud services, denoted as a sidecar object. A sidecar object serves the purpose of being deployed as additional component of a preexisting object without interfering with the mechanisms and behaviors that have already been implemented. In particular, the sidecar object implementation developed in this work focuses on the communication with existing IoT cloud services (namely, AWS IoT and Google Cloud IoT) to provide a transparent and seamless synchronization of data, states, and commands between the object on the edge and the cloud. The proposed sidecar object implementation has been extensively evaluated through a detailed set of tests, in order to analyze the performances and behaviors in real- world scenarios.

Abstract:
In 1986 Polyakov published his theory of rigid string. I investigate the instantons associated with the consequent new fine structure of strings in four dimensional Euclidean space-time. I reduce the self-dual equation of rigid string instantons to a simple form and show that (p,q) torus knots satisfy the equation, thus forming an interesting new class of solutions. I calculate by computer the world-sheet self-intersection number of the first few such closed knotted strings and derive a very simple formula for the self-intersection number of a torus knot. I consider an interpretation in terms of the first Chem number and discover the empirical formula Q = q - p for the inslanton number, Q, of torus knots and links. In 1987 Biran, Floratos and Savvidy pioneered an approach for constructing self-dual equations for membranes. I present some new solutions for self-dual membranes in three dimensions. In 1989 Grabowski and Tze pointed out a new class of exceptional immersions for which self-dual equations can be constructed and for which there are no known non-trivial solutions. By analogy with (p,q) torus knots, I describe an algorithm for generating a class of potential solutions of self-dual lumps in eight dimensions. I show how these come to within a single sign change of solving all the required constraints and come very close to solving all the 32 self-dual (4;8)-brane equations.

Abstract:
The level of automation in our society is ever increasing. Technologies like self-driving cars, virtual reality, and fully autonomous robots, which all were unimaginable a few decades ago, are realizable today, and will become standard consumer products in the future. These technologies depend upon autonomous localization and situation awareness where careful processing of sensory data is required. To increase efficiency, robustness and reliability, appropriate models for these data are needed.In this thesis, such models are analyzed within three different application areas, namely (1) magnetic localization, (2) extended target tracking, and (3) autonomous learning from raw pixel information. Magnetic localization is based on one or more magnetometers measuring the induced magnetic field from magnetic objects. In this thesis we present a model for determining the position and the orientation of small magnets with an accuracy of a few millimeters. This enables three-dimensional interaction with computer programs that cannot be handled with other localization techniques. Further, an additional model is proposed for detecting wrong-way drivers on highways based on sensor data from magnetometers deployed in the vicinity of traffic lanes. Models for mapping complex magnetic environments are also analyzed. Such magnetic maps can be used for indoor localization where other systems, such as GPS, do not work. In the second application area, models for tracking objects from laser range sensor data are analyzed. The target shape is modeled with a Gaussian process and is estimated jointly with target position and orientation. The resulting algorithm is capable of tracking various objects with different shapes within the same surveillance region. In the third application area, autonomous learning based on high-dimensional sensor data is considered. In this thesis, we consider one instance of this challenge, the so-called pixels to torques problem, where an agent must learn a closed-loop control policy from pixel information only. To solve this problem, high-dimensional time series are described using a low-dimensional dynamical model. Techniques from machine learning together with standard tools from control theory are used to autonomously design a controller for the system without any prior knowledge. System models used in the applications above are often provided in continuous time. However, a major part of the applied theory is developed for discrete-time systems. Discretization of continuous-time models is hence fundamental. Therefore, this thesis ends with a method for performing such discretization using Lyapunov equations together with analytical solutions, enabling efficient implementation in software.<br>Hur kan man få en dator att följa pucken i bordshockey för att sammanställa match-statistik, en pensel att måla virtuella vattenfärger, en skalpell för att digitalisera patologi, eller ett multi-verktyg för att skulptera i 3D?  Detta är fyra applikationer som bygger på den patentsökta algoritm som utvecklats i avhandlingen. Metoden bygger på att man gömmer en liten magnet i verktyget, och placerar ut ett antal tre-axliga magnetometrar - av samma slag som vi har i våra smarta telefoner - i ett nätverk kring vår arbetsyta. Magnetens magnetfält ger upphov till en unik signatur i sensorerna som gör att man kan beräkna magnetens position i tre frihetsgrader, samt två av dess vinklar. Avhandlingen tar fram ett komplett ramverk för dessa beräkningar och tillhörande analys. En annan tillämpning som studerats baserat på denna princip är detektion och klassificering av fordon. I ett samarbete med Luleå tekniska högskola med projektpartners har en algoritm tagits fram för att klassificera i vilken riktning fordonen passerar enbart med hjälp av mätningar från en två-axlig magnetometer. Tester utanför Luleå visar på i princip 100% korrekt klassificering. Att se ett fordon som en struktur av magnetiska dipoler i stället för en enda stor, är ett exempel på ett så kallat utsträckt mål. I klassisk teori för att följa flygplan, båtar mm, beskrivs målen som en punkt, men många av dagens allt noggrannare sensorer genererar flera mätningar från samma mål. Genom att ge målen en geometrisk utsträckning eller andra attribut (som dipols-strukturer) kan man inte enbart förbättra målföljnings-algoritmerna och använda sensordata effektivare, utan också klassificera målen effektivare. I avhandlingen föreslås en modell som beskriver den geometriska formen på ett mer flexibelt sätt och med en högre detaljnivå än tidigare modeller i litteraturen. En helt annan tillämpning som studerats är att använda maskininlärning för att lära en dator att styra en plan pendel till önskad position enbart genom att analysera pixlarna i video-bilder. Metodiken går ut på att låta datorn få studera mängder av bilder på en pendel, i det här fallet 1000-tals, för att förstå dynamiken av hur en känd styrsignal påverkar pendeln, för att sedan kunna agera autonomt när inlärningsfasen är klar. Tekniken skulle i förlängningen kunna användas för att utveckla autonoma robotar.<br><p>In the electronic version figure 2.2a is corrected.</p><br>COOPLOC

Abstract:
This article looks at the research methodologies in behavioral neurosciences focusing on reductionism and object exploration procedures for rodents. It provides a brief description of reduction and reductionism and describes the object exploration methodology as it is used in behavioral neuroscience, behavioral genetics, and psychopharmacology. It discusses three of a series of experiments conducted using the object exploration methodology which showed that the affordances of the to-be-explored objects affect the way rodents explore objects. It concludes that neuroscientists, even those who focus their research on genes or neurotransmitter effects, must attend closely to the details of behavior and that neuroscientists who use the object exploration methodology must adopt an extended cognition approach.

Abstract:
This chapter reviews multidisciplinary research from the fields of consumer behavior, humanistic and positive psychology, music education, and other areas to develop a new Transcendent Model of Motivation for Music Making. One’s “extended self” identity can be defined partly by possessions and mastery over objects, and objects can “complete” the self. Music making involves a person’s investment of “psychic energy,” including attention, time, learning, and efforts, and is a creative path which can lead to peak experiences and flow. Music making can help satisfy social needs, achieve self-actualization, experience self-transcendence, enhance well-being, strengthen spirituality, and improve the quality of life.

Full text
Abstract:
A shared fluency theory of social cohesiveness is outlined that accounts for disparate phenomena under a unified framework. This starts from the well-known metacognitive feeling of processing fluency (henceforth fluency), which is the subjective ease with which a mental operation is performed. Fluency is extended to the social domain, and the notion of shared fluency is introduced, consisting of two aspects: interpersonal fluency, or the ease with which two people coordinate their behavior, and shared object fluency, meaning that people exposed to the same objects can process these objects more easily. Fluency theory provides new insights in five domains: religious rituals, Confucian virtue ethics, military drill, culturally shared tastes, and place attachment. After a discussion of strengths and limitations of the shared fluency theory, it is concluded that low-level mechanisms, like fluency, may help explain complex social phenomena and open new avenues for feeling-based interventions relevant at a societal level.

Abstract:
Useful Objects: Museums, Science, and Literature in Nineteenth-Century America explores the debates that surrounded the development of American museums during the nineteenth century. Throughout this period, museums included a wide range of objects, from botanical and zoological specimens to antiquarian artifacts and technological models. Intended to promote “useful knowledge,” these collections generated broader discussions about how objects were selected, preserved, and classified. In guidebooks and periodicals, visitors described their experiences within museum galleries and marveled at the objects they encountered. And in fiction, essays, and poems, writers embraced the imaginative possibilities represented by collections and proposed alternative systems of arrangement. These conversations spanned spheres of American culture, raising deeper questions about how objects are valued—and who gets to decide. Combining literary criticism, the history of science, and museum studies, Useful Objects examines the dynamic and often fraught debates that emerged during a crucial period in the history of museums. As museums gradually transformed from encyclopedic cabinets to more specialized public institutions, many writers questioned who would have access to collections and the authority to interpret them. Throughout this period, they reflected on loss and preservation, raised concerns about the place of new ideas, and resisted increasingly fixed categories. These conversations extended beyond individual institutions, shaping broader debates about the scope and purpose of museums in American culture that continue to resonate today.

Abstract:
In practical application of fluidized beds, large solids coexist with small solids. Tsuji et al. (AIChE J., 60(5), pp. 1606–1620, 2014) proposed a numerical model which expresses the behavior of flows including dense solid objects with large size difference based on the DEM-CFD coupling method. In the present study, the model is extended to represent the non-sphericity of large objects by adding a multi-sphere model. Firstly, we perform validation study in a mm-size bubbling fluidized bed and confirm qualitative agreements between the numerical model and the experiment. After that, sinking and floating motion of a large non-spherical object in a fluidized bed are numerically investigated in detail.

Abstract:
Abstract One of the crucial issues for developing computer aided conceptual design system is representation of functions which represent designers’ intention. Representing functions is also crucial not only for representing design objects but also for describing conceptual design processes, in which designers operate mainly functional concepts. Namely, function is a key concept to integrate object modeling and process modeling in design. In this paper, first we extend the FBS (Function-Behavior-State) diagram, which we have already proposed, by introducing three additional concepts for representing a function; namely, function body that represents designers’ intention directly, function modifier that qualifies a function body, and objective entity on which the function body occurs. This extended FBS diagram, called FBS/m (modifier) diagram, enables us to represent designers’ intention more precisely than the original FBS diagram. Then, we propose an FEP (Functional Evolution Process) model to represent design processes. In the FEP model, the FBS model of a design object is evolved through three steps, i.e., functional actualization, functional evaluation and functional operation. Functional actualization depicts a process to obtain physical descriptions from functional description. Functional evaluation is a process to measure realizability of functions of the design object. Functional operation is a process to operate functions to improve the design. Based on the FEP model, we analyze some actual design processes, and show that the FEP model is suitable for representing designers’ intention along with design processes.

Abstract:
Dynamic strain monitoring provides valuable information about behavior and condition of mechanical parts subjected to the load either under test or realistic working conditions. In many occasions, test points for strain measurement are not easily accessible for temporary or permanent wired connection with standard test and measurement equipment, especially for measurements on moving objects. We developed a configurable portable dynamic strain monitoring system, which is particularly suitable for short-term installations and adaptable for wide range of expected strain values. The high-accuracy measuring module, attached to the test point along with the strain gage sensor, digitizes and transmits measured data over the license-free ISM radio-frequency band to the receiving unit for further signal processing and results representation. The calibration procedure is highly simplified due to the specific design of the input analog measuring chain, which eliminates the need, in several commercially available similar instruments, for manual sensor calibration. The accuracy and the bandwidth of the input measuring chain were optimized to provide means for high quality spectral analysis of acquired dynamic strain waveforms. The system may be simply extended for dynamic torque, power and rotational speed measurements on revolving shafts, by connecting to the inductive proximity switch to the receiver module. Receiving unit also provides means for connection with other test and measurement equipment by standard analog and digital industrial communication protocols (4–20 mA current loop, RS485). The overall system was designed to accommodate to wide variety of test and research applications, as well as monitoring parameter ranges.

Abstract:
Unfolding processes of timbre and memory in improvisational piano performance This exposition is an introduction to my research and practice as a pianist, in which I unfold processes of timbre and memory in improvised music from a performer’s perspective. Timbre is often understood as a purely sonic perceptual phenomenon. However, this is not in accordance with a site-specific improvisational practice with changing spatial circumstances impacting the listening experience, nor does it take into account the agency of the instrument and objects used or the performer’s movements and gestures. In my practice, I have found a concept as part of the creating process in improvised music which has compelling potential: Timbre orchestration. My research takes the many and complex aspects of a performance environment into account and offers an extended understanding of timbre, which embraces spatial, material and bodily aspects of sound in improvised music performance. The investigative projects described in this exposition offer a methodology to explore timbral improvisational processes integrated into my practice, which is further extended through collaborations with sound engineers, an instrument builder and a choreographer: -experiments in amplification and recording, resulting in Memory piece, a series of works for amplified piano and multichannel playback - Piano mapping, a performance approach, with a custom-built device for live spatialization as means to expand and deepen spatio-timbral relationships; - Accretion, a project with choreographer Toby Kassell for three grand pianos and a pianist, where gestural approaches are used to activate and compose timbre in space. Together, the projects explore memory as a structural, reflective and performative tool and the creation of performing and listening modes as integrated parts of timbre orchestration. Orchestration and choreography of timbre turn into an open and hybrid compositional approach, which can be applied to various contexts, engaging with dynamic relationships and re-configuring them.

Abstract:
This publication based on a master thesis explores the challenges of the automotive industry regarding the European chemical regulations REACH and CLP, as well as potential improvements of the current compliance activities and the related incentives and barriers. It answers the research question: "To what extent should the compliance activities of actors in the automotive supply chain be extended in order to meet the requirements of European chemicals regulation; and where would it help to strengthen incentives in enforcement and the legal framework?“. The study’s structure is based on the transdisciplinary delta analysis of the Society for Institutional Analysis at the Darmstadt University of Applied Sciences. It compares the target state of the legal requirements and the requirements for corresponding compliance with the actual state of the actual compliance measures of the automotive players and attempts to identify their weak points (the delta). The main sources for the analysis are the legal texts and relevant court decisions as well as guideline-based expert interviews with automotive players based on Gläser &amp; Laudel. As objects of the analysis, there are in addition answers to random enquiries according to Article 33 (2) REACH as well as the recommendations and guidelines of the industry associations. The analysis identifies the transmission of material information in the supply chain as a key problem. The global database system used for this purpose, the IMDS, shows gaps in the framework conditions. This results in compliance risk due to the dynamically developing regulation. In addition, the study identifies an incompliance of the investigated automobile manufacturers with regard to Art. 33 REACH. In answering the research question, the study recommends solutions to the automotive players that extend the current compliance activities. In addition, it offers tables and process flow diagrams, which structure the duties and required compliance measures and may serve as basic audit criteria. The analysis is carried out from an external perspective and looks at the entire industry. It therefore cannot cover all the individual peculiarities of each automotive player. As a result, the identified gaps serve only as indications for possible further compliance risks.
