The symbolic value of the rubbles in Damascus
No full textThe rubbles of Damascus represent a complex phenomenon, reflecting the succession of civilizations in this ancient
city, as well as the scars of the recent war that has ravaged the country since 2011. They contribute to understanding
the historical formation of the city , while also posing significant challenges to future reconstruction and urban recovery. This research will therefore attempt to go beyond the material value of these rubbles and read their symbolic
value in an attempt to understand the positive and negative experiences that this city holds for its inhabitants and the
necessity of utilizing them in its future reconstruction

On implementing sparse matrix-vector multiplication on intel platform
Full text linkSparse matrix-vector multiplication, SpMV, can be a performance bottle-neck in iterative solvers and algebraic eigenvalue problems. In this thesis, we present our sparse matrix compressed chunk storage format (CCF) and SpMV CCF kernel that realizes high performance on Intel Xeon multicore and Phi processors for unstructured matrices. CCF kernel exploits the properties of CCF to enhance load balancing and SIMD efficiency. Moreover, we present the CCF auto-tuner that selects the most effective parameters and the SpMV kernel to achieve the highest possible performance that CCF can attain on a target architecture. Using 151 unstructured matrices from 38 application areas, we compare the performance of the CCF kernel to that of MKL 2018u1 SpMV CSR, MKL 2018u2 Inspector executor SpMV CSR, and Compressed Vectorization-oriented sparse Row (CVR) SpMV. We execute the kernels on a dual 24-core Skylake Xeon Platinum 8160 and a 68-core KNL Xeon Phi 7250. Executing on the dual 24-core Skylake Xeon Platinum 8160, and compared to MKL SpMV CSR, our kernel achieves superior execution throughputs for 135 matrices (89%) with an average speed improvement of 2.3x and maximum speed improvement of 27.5x. Our kernel outperforms MKL Inspector-executor SpMV CSR for 109 matrices (73%) with an average speed improvement of 1.5x and maximum speed improvement of 3.0x. Moreover, SpMV CCF outperforms SpMV CVR for 81% of the matrices with an average speed improvement of 1.8x and maximum speed improvement of 4.2x. Executing on the 68-core KNL Xeon Phi 7250, CCF achieves high average and maximum speed improvements compared to the other three kernels but for slightly smaller percentages of matrices. Lastly, we show that auto-tuning CCF parameters improves the performance for more than 50 matrices compared to the default CCF on Skylake and KNL with an average speed improvement of 1.2x.Submission published under a 24 month embargo labeled 'U of I Access', the embargo will last until 2020-08-01The student, Mohammad AlMasri, accepted the attached license on 2018-07-19 at 11:35.The student, Mohammad AlMasri, submitted this Thesis for approval on 2018-07-19 at 11:53.This Thesis was approved for publication on 2018-07-19 at 12:16.DSpace SAF Submission Ingestion Package generated from Vireo submission #12939 on 2018-09-27 at 11:19:33Made available in DSpace on 2018-09-27T16:34:23Z (GMT).

ULB-VT.v2
No full textThis dataset includes Thermal-Visual images with the same aligned geometry taking by FLIR-E60 camera. Images are of size (320 x 240) pixel resolution with 0.05◦C thermal sensitivity and −20◦C to 650◦C. Thermal images were extracted in their raw format and logged in 16-bit float per-pixel in one channel.
The acquisition was made as a second version ULB17-VT with a total of 749 pairs of day acquisition and 24 pairs of night acquisition.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Thermal images were extracted in their raw format and logged in 16-bit float per-pixel in one channel.
The acquisition was made in different scenes and different environments (indoor and outdoor, during winter and summer and with static and moving objects). Thermal and RGB images were manually extracted and annotated with a total of 570 pairs in the original paper.
Due to European regulations about data and privacy protection, Images shows identified faces were excluded from this published version. This published benchmark has 404 pair of images, divided into 280 training samples, 78 validation validation samples and 46 testing samples.
The file 'ULB17-VT.pkl' is saved in Pkl format, using python 3.5 and cPickle.HIGHEST_PROTOCOL and arranged in the following way:

X_RGBx: Visual RGB image
X_HRx: High-Resolution Thermal image
X_LRx: Low-Resolution 'Gaussian Pyramid' down-sampled Thermal image

The Staff Have Their Say : A qualitative study on employees' experiences of how communication affects inclusion andexclusion within the organization.
No full textTitel: Personalen kommer till tals.Ämne/Kurs: Ledarskap och organisation - Kandidatuppsats, 15 HPFörfattare: Aya Almasri & Abdallah MuhialdeenHandledare: Jonas LundstenNyckelord: Inkludering, exludering, kommunikation, dold makt, synlig makt.Syfte: Forskningen undersöker hur kommunikation påverkar inkludering och exkludering på enmångfaldig arbetsplats.Frågeställning: Hur upplevs kommunikationens påverkan på inkludering och exkludering iorganisationen utifrån medarbetarperspektiv?Metod: Forskningen är baserad på en kvalitativ studie med en pusselbitansats där 13 personer harintervjuats. Det insamlade empiriska materialet består av vetenskapliga artiklar och litteratur.Teoretiskt ramverk: Forskningen använder Michel Foucaults teorier om makt och diskurs för attanalysera dold makt, French och Ravens teori om synliga maktformer, samt social identitetsteoriför att förstå hur gruppidentiteter påverkar inkludering och exkludering.Slutsats: Resultaten visar behovet av att förstå både synliga och osynliga maktstrukturer för attskapa en mer inkluderande arbetsmiljö. Kritisk granskning och normbrytande åtgärder ärnödvändiga för att främja rättvisa och lika möjligheter. Title: The Staff Speak OutSubject/Course: Leadership and Organization - Bachelor's Thesis, 15 HPAuthors: Aya Almasri & Abdallah MuhialdeenSupervisor: Jonas LundstenKeywords: Inclusion, Exclusion, Communication, Hidden Power, Visible Power.Purpose: The research investigates how experienced communication affects inclusion andexclusion in a diverse workplace.Research question: How is the impact of communication on inclusion and exclusion perceivedfrom the employee perspective within the organization?Method: The research is based on a qualitative study using a puzzle-piece approach, where 13individuals were interviewed. The collected empirical material consists of scientific articles andliterature.Theoretical framework: The research uses Michel Foucault’s theories on power and discourse toanalyze hidden power, French and Raven’s theory on visible forms of power and social identitytheory to understand how group identities influence inclusion and exclusion.Conclusion: The results highlight the need to understand both visible and invisible powerstructures to create a more inclusive work environment, Critical examination and norm breakingactions are necessary to promote justice and equal opportunities
