Abstract:

This work concerns the use of operators for past and future con-tingency in Priorean temporal logic. We will develop a system namedCt, whose language includes a propositional constant and prove that(i) Ct is complete with respect to a certain class of general frames and(ii) the usual operators for past and future necessity are denable insuch system. Furthermore, we will introduce the extension Ctlin thatcan be interpreted on linear and transitive general frames. The theo-retical result of the current work is that contingency can be treatedas a primitive notion in reasoning about temporal modalities.

Abstract:

Animated pedagogical agents are lifelike virtual characters designed to augment learning. A review of developmental psychology literature led to the hypothesis that the temporal contingency of such agents would promote human learning. We developed a Pedagogical Agent with Gaze Interaction (PAGI), an experimental animated pedagogical agent that engages in gaze interaction with students. In this study, university students learned words of a foreign language, with temporally contingent PAGI (live group) or recorded version of PAGI (recorded group), which played pre-recorded sequences from live sessions. The result revealed that students in the live group scored considerably better than those in the recorded group. The finding indicates that incorporating temporal contingency of gaze interaction from a pedagogical agent has positive effect on learning.

Abstract:

Abstract Rapid transient stability assessment (TSA) is an essential requirement for power system security. In real-world applications, transient contingency screening (TCS) applies TSA approaches to address the pre-defined contingency sets under online operation conditions. TSA by time domain simulation (TDS) is time-consuming, hence we propose a high-speed temporal graph convolutional network (TGCN) that achieves TSA decisions such that a large-scale contingency set can be scanned quickly with enough precision. Based on multi-graph inputs to reflect the transient process, the TGCN utilizes the graph convolutional network (GCN) to extract topology representations and temporal convolution (TC) layers to encode temporal relations. After above graph embedding, two downstream networks are designed for stability classification and critical generator prediction, respectively. Test results on IEEE 39 Bus system demonstrate its superiority over existing models under different operation topologies, fault locations and clearing modes.

Abstract:

This article presents an approach for assessing contingency resolution strategies using temporal logic. We present a framework for nominal mission modeling, then specifying contingency resolution strategies and evaluating their effectiveness for the mission. Our approach focuses on leveraging the use of model checkers to the domain of multi-robot missions to assess the adequacy of contingency resolution strategies that minimize the adverse effects of contingencies on the mission execution. We consider missions with deterministic as well as probabilistic transitions. We demonstrate our approach using two case studies. We consider the escorting of a ship in a port where multiple contingencies may occur concurrently and assess the adequacy of the proposed contingency resolution strategies. We also consider a manufacturing scenario where multiple assembly stations collaborate to create a product. In this case, assembly operations may fail, and human intervention is needed to complete the assembly process. We investigate several different strategies and assess their effectiveness based on mission characteristics.

Abstract:

Educational Psychology<br>Ph.D.<br>Matching relations identified by Herrnstein (1961) demonstrate behavior rates as a function of the ratio of reinforcement rates for alternative behaviors. The mathematical relationship identified by Herrnstein and modified by Baum (1974) was later applied to foraging animals, given the option of two patches (Kennedy & Gray, 1993). This application lead to the demonstration that animals (Baum & Kraft, 1998) and humans (Kraft & Baum, 2001) will engage in emergent group behavior that is distinct from individual matching relations. To more completely understand group matching in humans, group relations beyond foraging must be investigated. This study expands on the findings of Kraft and Baum (2001) and subsequent studies by introducing a group contingency for point earnings. Using an ABAB/BABA experimental design, interdependent group contingency was compared to individual contingency in two experimental sessions with different sets of participants. To better understand individual performance in matching rations, a temporal discounting measure was administered to participants (Beck & Triplett, 2009). Scores were transformed into area-under-the-curve values and correlated with total points earned. Participants were divided into teams based on their scores on a measure of temporal discounting with which they earned points during the group contingency conditions. An effect for group contingency was found for Experiment 2 but not Experiment 1. Order effects apparent in the data from both experiments are attributed to the BABA design used in Experiment 2. Results across the two experiments show a relationship between temporal discounting scores and total points earned for participants with valid temporal discounting scores (n = 13). Future research should expand upon these findings in applied contexts.<br>Temple University--Theses

Abstract:

Understanding mechanisms regulating the assembly of ecological communities is a major goal of community ecology. I combined experimental and theoretical approaches to investigate the influences of various ecological factors on the assembly of protist communities. My research included three experimental studies and one theoretical study. Two experimental studies used freshwater heterotrophic ciliated protists as model organisms to examine how species dispersal across local communities and functional and phylogenetic diversity of the species pool influence historical contingency of the assembled communities, respectively. The results of the first experiment showed that the differences in species colonization history led to alternative community states that substantially differed in species composition and abundances, regardless of the level of species dispersal. The results of the second experiment showed that historical contingency, measured by beta diversity and the strength of inhibitive priority effects decreased as phylogenetic and functional diversity of the species pool increased. In the third experimental study, I used the same model system and observed positive relationships between phylogenetic diversity and temporal stability of community biomass. These positive relationships are likely due to the reduced competition among species and increased asynchronous species responses to environmental changes under higher phylogenetic diversity. The theoretical study explored how phytoplankton and zooplankton coevolution drives species diversity patterns along productivity gradients in a mathematical model system. I explored the conditions for evolutionary divergence in phytoplankton and zooplankton and the consequent productivity-diversity relationships (PDR) using the theory of adaptive dynamics and numerical simulations. The results of numerical simulations showed that the coevolutionary dynamics of phytoplankton and zooplankton can generate transient unimodal or positive PDRs, and positive PDRs when the systems reach steady states. The findings of my research suggest an important role of traits and species ecological difference in understanding causes and consequences of biodiversity in community ecology.

Abstract:

Tandis que les psychologues débattent depuis longtemps la question du conscient et de l’inconscient pour savoir lequel a le plus d’influence sur le comportement humain, une approche plus fructueuse serait d’explorer comment ces deux aspects fonctionnent ensemble. En effet, les recherches récentes montrent que les liens entre les processus conscients et inconscients sont si étroits qu’il serait quasi-impossible d’avoir une compréhension générale de l’appareil psychique humain sans comprendre leurs interactions. De plus, la conscience semble être nécessaire pour qu’une représentation mentale puisse être maintenue et accessible à divers processus cognitifs tels que le contrôle stratégique ou la mémoire épisodique. Plusieurs expériences comportementales et d’imagerie fonctionnelle montrent que les représentations inconscientes sont typiquement de très courte durée. Toutefois, nous avons émis l’hypothèse que ces représentations inconscientes éphémères pourraient également provoquer des processus de plus longue durée, comme le suggère l’observation récente de préparations motrices et attentionnelles pouvant être manipulées inconsciemment. Ceci nous a poussé à explorer si l’attente d’un stimulus visuel imminent – qui sollicite des processus moteurs et attentionnels – est modulée par des processus inconscients. Ainsi, nous avons développé une série d’expériences d’amorçage masqué pour explorer la possibilité d’initier inconsciemment un effet d’attente soutenue. A travers quatre expériences complémentaires qui utilisent des mesures comportementales, de l’EEG à haute densité ou des enregistrements intra-crâniaux, nous démontrons qu’un signal perçu inconsciemment peut moduler un composant ERP (la variation contingente négative, CNV) de longue durée (>1 seconde) et que cet effet d’attente neurophysiologique va de pair avec une facilitation comportementale. Ces résultats soulignent l’importance de distinguer les représentations inconscientes éphémères de la possibilité d’une influence de plus longue durée sur les processus cognitifs. Les résultats iEEG ont mis en lumière une dissociation entre les effets conscients et inconscients. Nous trouvons des effets précoces comparables dans les régions temporales pour les signaux conscients et inconscients, suivis par des effets frontaux de longue durée uniquement pour les effets conscients. Ces résultats convergent vers un modèle en deux étapes des mécanismes sous-jacents de l’attente<br>While psychologists have long debated whether it is consciousness or unconsciousness that has a stronger hold on human behavior, a more fruitful endeavor is to explore how they work together. Recent research has shown that the links between conscious and unconscious processing are so extensive that it is almost impossible to get a complete picture of mental life without understanding their interactions. In this work, our main goal was to understand to which extent unconscious processing influences conscious representations, and impacts behavior. Furthermore, consciousness appears to be required for a representation to be actively maintained, and flexibly accessed, to most cognitive processes including strategic control and episodic memory. In several experiments, unconscious representations observed both with behavioral and functional brain-imaging tools are typically very short lived. However, we hypothesized that such vanishing unconscious representations may still elicit long-lasting processes. Indeed, recent research has shown that attention and motor preparation can be manipulated unconsciously. This led us to explore whether expectancy of an upcoming visual stimulus, which engages both attentional and motor processes, can be triggered by unconscious processes. To this aim, we designed a series of masked cueing experiments in which we explored the possibility of initiating unconsciously a sustained expectancy effect. Through four complementary experiments using behavioral measures, high-density EEG and intra-cranial recordings, we demonstrate that an unconsciously perceived visual cue can modulate a long-lasting (>1 second) event related potential (ERP) component (the contingent negative variation, CNV) and that this neurophysiological expectancy effect has a behavioral counterpart. These results underline the importance of distinguishing a fast decaying unconscious representation, from its possible long-lasting influences on cognitive processes. The iEEG results also revealed a dissociation between conscious and unconscious effects. We report early effects in temporal regions similar for conscious and unconscious cues, followed by late and sustained frontal effects for the conscious effects only. Taken together, these results converge towards a two-stage model of the underlying mechanisms of expectancy

Abstract:

This essay is about the problem of future contingents, that is, statements predicting future events that are neither historically impossible, nor inevitable. The analysis intersects metaphysics, logic, philosophy of language and philosophy of science. In particular, the essay explores why indeterminism – viz., the doctrine that the present, the past, and the laws of nature do not necessitate the future – may be taken as a sensible thesis. Furthermore, several semantics for indeterministic, modal temporal languages will be considered. It is argued that the modal, temporal logic that best fits indeterminism is a version that mirrors the so-called TRL metaphysics. The advocates of the TRL metaphysics, indeed, can evoke a substantive notion of actuality to tell themselves apart from determinist, many worlds theorists. And the notion of substantive actuality assumed by TRL theorists may be easily reflected at the (post)semantic level, yield- ing a temporal logic which meets several desiderata.<br>Il saggio affronta il problema dei futuri contingenti, ovvero di quegli enunciati che predicono eventi futuri nè storicamente impossibili, nè inevitabili. L'analisi interseca la metafisica, la logica, la filosofia del linguaggio e la filosofia della scienza. In particolare, nel saggio si avanzano ragioni per ritenere che l'indeterminismo - la tesi secondo cui il presente e il passato, insieme alle leggi di natura, non necessitano il futuro - sia plausibile. Si analizzano diverse semantiche per linguaggi tempo-modali, argomentando che la logica tempo-modale che meglio si adatta all'indeterminismo è una variante della così detta metafisica TRL. I sostenitori della metafisica TRL, infatti, possono evocare una nozione di attualità sostanziale per distinguersi da altre forme di determinismo a molti mondi. La nozione di attualità sostantiva può inoltre essere facilmente riflessa in semantica, generando una logica temporale che soddisfa diversi desiderata.

Abstract:

Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Aeronautics and Astronautics, 2007.<br>Includes bibliographical references (p. 175-178).<br>Many applications of autonomous agents require groups to work in tight coordination. To be dependable, these groups must plan, carry out and adapt their activities in a way that is robust to failure and to uncertainty. Previous work developed contingent, temporally flexible plans. These plans provide robustness to uncertain activity durations, through flexible timing constraints, and robustness to plan failure, through alternate approaches to achieving a task. Robust execution of contingent, temporally flexible plans consists of two phases. First, in the plan extraction phase, the executive chooses between the functionally redundant methods in the plan to select an execution sequence that satisfies the temporal bounds in the plan. Second, in the plan execution phase, the executive dispatches the plan, using the temporal flexibility to schedule activities dynamically. Previous contingent plan execution systems use a centralized architecture in which a single agent conducts planning for the entire group. This can result in a communication bottleneck at the time when plan activities are passed to the other agents for execution, and state information is returned. Likewise, a computation bottleneck may also occur because a single agent conducts all processing.<br>(cont.) This thesis introduces a robust, distributed executive for temporally flexible plans, called Distributed-Kirk, or D-Kirk. To execute a plan, D-Kirk first distributes the plan between the participating agents, by creating a hierarchical ad-hoc network and by mapping the plan onto this hierarchy. Second, the plan is reformulated using a distributed, parallel algorithm into a form amenable to fast dispatching. Finally, the plan is dispatched in a distributed fashion. We then extend the D-Kirk distributed executive to handle contingent plans. Contingent plans are encoded as Temporal Plan Networks (TPNs), which use a non-deterministic choice operator to compose temporally flexible plan fragments into a nested hierarchy of contingencies. A temporally consistent plan is extracted from the TPN using a distributed, parallel algorithm that exploits the structure of the TPN. At all stages of D-Kirk, the communication load is spread over all agents, thus eliminating the communication bottleneck. In particular, D-Kirk reduces the peak communication complexity of the plan execution phase by a factor of O (A/e'), where e' is the number of edges per node in the dispatchable plan, determined by the branching factor of the input plan, and A is the number of agents involved in executing the plan.<br>(cont.) In addition, the distributed algorithms employed by D-Kirk reduce the computational load on each agent and provide opportunities for parallel processing, thus increasing efficiency. In particular, D-Kirk reduces the average computational complexity of plan dispatching from O (N3e) in the centralized case, to typical values of O (N2e) per node and O (N3e/A) per agent in the distributed case, where N is the number of nodes in the plan and e is the number of edges per node in the input plan. Both of the above results were confirmed empirically using a C++ implementation of D-Kirk on a set of parameterized input plans. The D-Kirk implementation was also tested in a realistic application where it was used to control a pair of robotic manipulators involved in a cooperative assembly task.<br>by Stephen Block.<br>S.M.

Abstract:

AbstractIn the midst of the climate crisis, growing demands for an acceleration of Europe’s transition to renewable energy have led to the institutionalization and “upscaling” of disparate and local practices of community energy. This chapter examines how new laws for “Renewable Energy Communities” (RECs) have so far been constructed and construed by an array of different technical experts who are key intermediaries for the diffusion of this legal innovation in the Portuguese energy sector. We enquire into how this new object has or has not been envisioned as a desirable and realistic response to the challenges of energy transition and climate change, and how it has been shaped by different imaginaries, discourses and social representations. In particular, we examine the spatial and temporal dimensions of these imaginaries and how expert actors anchor their visions in relation to “the common good.” By focusing on the spatial, temporal and moral dimensions of different expert representations of RECs, we aim to foreground the contingency of legal innovation and the critical moments where the polysemy of RECs and the plurality of scalar possibilities are opened up or closed down.

Abstract:

AbstractThe research project “Performing Interspaces: Social Fluidities in Contemporary Theatre”, whose primary output is this monograph, began as an imperative to account for spaces that are awkward, evade attention, or, when they receive it, rarely do so because they produce feelings of desirability, warmth, or contentment. These spaces are sometimes fixed and others mobile, but always, in a sense, fluid: brimming with potential and emergence, also due to their temporal contingency. They are transient and correlational: formulated by and dependent upon intimate and intricate ecologies, human and non-human, that cluster together to challenge the orthodoxy of other spaces that might be dominant, and structurally sound. This is the kind of site we might describe, like the system to which it belongs and whose patterns it performs and perpetuates, as robust; inflexible. Interspaces, on the contrary, are not definite and rigid—they are tentative, exposed; and they generate this effect for their inhabitants, that may be human or non-human.

Abstract:

The ovum of reality is the eternal or the univer-sal. The universal is that in which all partake, but it is eternally irreducible to commonalities and affordances between all particular instances, collections of multi-tudes, and local horizons of thought. It is neither bound in its local expressions, nor is it exhaustible by any collection of multitudes; it is simply free from the necessity of all its particular instances. The universal is a sign free of meaning and significance, the so-called free sign of Peirce that ramifies into its local contexts according to its global contingency, its bot-tomlessness and uninterruptable continuity with it-self. For naturphilosophie, by virtue of its intensionality and self-reflexivity, the universal is identified as the eternal. The eternal—understood semio-logically by Peirce—is a modal plenum, an abyss replete with modalities that can neither be re-duced to the totality of infinite possibilities nor de-termined in the first or the last instance by discrete actualities (marks of difference, cosmological hori-zons, local conditions of life and thought, etc.). The modal plenum is represented as the Blank Sheet of Assertion, a proto-topological blank sheet whose modes of relations to itself are unbound and on which semio-logical processes can be geometrically in-scribed. Just as on the Blank Sheet of Assertion each isolated or discrete modality is perpetually intruded upon by unbound modalities of the sheet, within the open expanse of the universal, no particular instance can stave off the eruptions of the eternal or assimilate its modalities within its temporal horizon.

Abstract:

Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) can model temporal dependencies in time series well. In this paper we present an interesting application of stacked Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU) based RNN for early prediction of imminent instability in a power system based on normal measurements of power system variables over time. In a power system, disturbances like a fault can result in transient instability which may lead to blackouts. Early pre- diction of any such contingency can aid the operator to take timely preventive control actions. In recent times some machine learning techniques such as SVMs have been proposed to predict such instability. However, these approaches assume availability of accurate fault information like its occurrence and clearance instants which is impractical. In this paper we propose an Online Monitoring System (OMS), which is a GRU based RNN, that continuously keeps predicting the current status based on past measurements. Through extensive simulations using a standard 118-bus system, the effectiveness of the proposed system is demonstrated. We also show how we can use PCA and predictions from the RNN to identify the most critical generator that leads to transient instability.

Abstract:

For the designer, imagination travels in the line. Lines can redraw the present, defy conventions, recast new orders and shape the future. Lines establish territorial boundaries, communicate written language and construction intentions yet lines are also fluid. When experienced in the world, lines can be ephemeral and dynamic and inspire a methodological interplay between perception and precision. In this regard, lines are liquid. Conversely, when liquid is represented through the act of drawing lines, a similarly incomplete view is formed. It is within these gaps between time and matter or certainty and precision, that lines can reveal opportunities for design. By slipping into a mindset that crosses, tests, traces and inhabits lines, then the limits of what is “in” or “out” and “here” versus “there” melt away. Instead, this paper positions an attitude toward design that revels in contingency and speculates on the temporal and material qualities that make architecture a thriving component of the dynamic, built environment. To illustrate these ambitions, this paper revisits the lost disciplinary legacy of the term disegno and explores contemporary ideas emerging from the consideration of “atmosphere” in the formulation of architectural ideas. Three projects illustrate this proposition and draw “liquid lines” to produce conditions of “both and” by practicing expanded perception and dynamic precision.

Abstract:

The U.S. military conducts a full spectrum of contingency operations in which it provides humanitarian assistance, logistical support, peacekeeping stability functions, and reconstruction activities. It is becoming increasingly important to incorporate the concept of “sustainability” into these operations. Making contingency operations more sustainable will provide force multiplier aspects that increase operational efficiencies and reduce logistical burdens and costs. The military requires enormous energy resources to maintain its mission readiness, which contributes greatly to logistical burdens and costs. A wide range of sustainability considerations relate to the cross-functional use of energy in contingency operations, from the interface with a host nation’s infrastructure; temporary construction practices; fuel convoys; cascading material use; the handling and treatment of waste, water, and hazardous materials; logistics footprint, etc. This paper describes military issues that will affect deployed base mission requirements and future investment policies. It also describes the ongoing process to develop an Army vision for sustainable contingency operations. This vision will consider the integration of cross-functional energy uses and establish sustainable operational requirements and investment policies. These insights are also applicable to many international humanitarian situations.

Abstract:

Most existing works in Probabilistic Simple Temporal Networks (PSTNs) base their frameworks on well-defined probability distributions. This paper addresses on PSTN Dynamic Controllability (DC) robustness measure, i.e. the execution success probability of a network under dynamic control. We consider PSTNs where the probability distributions of the contingent edges are ordinary distributed (e.g. non-parametric, non-symmetric). We introduce the concepts of dispatching protocol (DP) as well as DP-robustness, the probability of success under a predefined dynamic policy. We propose a fixed-parameter pseudo-polynomial time algorithm to compute the exact DP-robustness of any PSTN under NextFirst protocol, and apply to various PSTN datasets, including the real case of planetary exploration in the context of the Mars 2020 rover, and propose an original structural analysis.

Abstract:

A large literature documents the electoral benefits of clientelistic and programmatic policies in low-income states. We extend this literature by showing the cyclical electoral responses to a large programmatic intervention to expand access to secondary education in Tanzania over multiple electoral periods. Using a difference-indifference approach, we find that the incumbent party's vote share increased by 2 percentage points in the election following the policy's announcement as a campaign promise (2005), but decreased by -1.4 percentage points in the election following implementation (2010). We find no discernible electoral impact of the policy in 2015, two electoral cycles later. We attribute the electoral penalty in 2010 to how the secondary school expansion policy was implemented. Our findings shed light on the temporally-contingent electoral impacts of programmatic policies, and highlight the need for more research on how policy implementation structures public opinion and vote choice in low-income states.
