Złote czasy radia. Edukacyjne i wychowawcze funkcje radiowych audycji umuzykalniających
No full textThe article attempts to present the specificity of radio music broadcasts as a form of didactic method used while teaching children about music. The Polish Radio music broadcasts created by Maria Wieman from 1946 to 1976 were used as a research material. The author shows the historical background in which educational radio programmes were made in Poland. The state of kindergarten education after the war and the methodology of music education is also adressed. The paper attempts to present the reconstruction of the formation of music broadcasts for children based on the literature dedicated to the subject, recordings of the broadcasts, and radio documents. The author also wanted to present the profile of Maria Wieman, the brodcast creator. Her methodological and didactic achievements played a key role in forming the modern way of thinking about music education in kindergarten.The article attempts to present the specificity of radio music broadcasts as a form of didactic method used while teaching children about music.

Experience from the construction and operation of the STAR PXL detector
No full textA new silicon based vertex detector called the Heavy Flavor Tracker (HFT) was installed at the Soleniodal Tracker At RHIC (STAR) experiment for the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) 2014 heavy ion run to improve the vertex resolution and extend the measurement capabilities of STAR in the heavy flavor domain. The HFT consists of four concentric cylinders around the STAR interaction point composed of three different silicon detector technologies based on strips, pads and for the first time in an accelerator experiment CMOS monolithic active pixels (MAPS) . The two innermost layers at a radius of 2.8 cm and 8 cm from the beam line are constructed with 400 high resolution MAPS sensors arranged in 10-sensor ladders mounted on 10 thin carbon fiber sectors giving a total silicon area of 0.16 m(2). Each sensor consists of a pixel array of nearly 1 million pixels with a pitch of 20.7 μm with column-level discriminators, zero-suppression circuitry and output buffer memory integrated into one silicon die with a sensitive area of ~ 3.8 cm(2). The pixel (PXL) detector has a low power dissipation of 170 mW/cm(2), which allows air cooling. This results in a global material budget of 0.5% radiation length per layer for detector used in this run. A novel mechanical approach to detector insertion allows for the installation and integration of the pixel sub detector within a 12 hour period during an on-going STAR run. The detector specifications, experience from the construction and operation, lessons learned and initial measurements of the PXL performance in the 200 GeV Au-Au run will be presented
Creativity in the thought of William Ernest Hocking and Henry Nelson Wieman

Thank you.Metaphysical creativity and religious creativity are two closely related problems in the thought of William Ernest Hocking and Henry Nelson Wieman. For Hocking "creativity is the criterion of reality," and the Real is the independent being. For him metaphysical creativity is the bringing into being of something other than its own ideas by an Absolute Mind. The choice by the Absolute Mind of this particular world is the creation by that Mind of its own Body. This choice expressed in its exercise of will in accord with its purpose accounts for the arrival of inorganic matter, organisms, and human selves. The execution of this choice explains the original and continual dependence of the physical world in its givenness, lawfulness, and publicity. Originally the Absolute Self creates the possibilities of many different physical worlds, chooses one of them in accord with His purpose, and executes His choice of this particular world through an expression of will. Continually the purposive character of this choice and expression is evident in the givenness, lawfulness, and publicity of physical nature as a whole, and the passages within nature from inorganic matter to organisms and from organisms to human selves [TRUNCATED].2999-01-0
Numerical studies of vortices and dark solitons in atomic Bose-Einstein condensates
No full textDilute atomic Bose-Einstein condensates support intriguing macroscopic excitations in the form of quantized vortices and dark solitons. In this thesis we present extensive quantitative studies of the dynamics of these phenomena in the limit of zero temperature, performed by numerical simulation of the Gross- Pitaevskii equation. We show that vortices and dark solitons are inherently unstable to acceleration through the condensate, leading to the emission of sound waves. Indeed, for a single vortex/soliton, the power emitted is proportional to the square of the local acceleration. However, due to the finite size of the condensate, the vortex/soliton reinteracts with the emitted sound. This coupling has an important effect on the ensuing dynamics, and we illustrate how it can be engineered to induce net decay, stabilise, or even drive energy into the vortex/soliton. Under the harmonic confinement typically employed to trap the condensates, the acceleration-induced decay is stabilised by reabsorption of the emitted sound. However, by modifying the trap geometry, e.g. by adding an inner dimple in which the soliton resides or an optical lattice potential, it is possible to break this equilibrium and so induce a net decay of the vortex/soliton in a controllable manner. The decay rate can be considerable and should be observable under current experimental conditions. The dynamical stability of quantized vortices is also relevant to the field of turbulence in superfluid Helium, where the motion of the vortices is induced by the surrounding distribution of vortices rather than density. We extend these results to this field, and additionally consider the interactions between two and three vortices, which are also found to involve sound emission. By exciting the sound field of the condensate it is possible to drive parametrically energy into a dark soliton. In a real dissipative environment, this can be used to stabilise the soliton decay. Finally, we illustrate the links between dark solitons and vortices: a dark soliton embedded in a three-dimensional system is prone to decay into vortex rings, while a vortex in a quasi-one-dimensional geometry cannot be supported and exists as a hybrid between a vortex and dark soliton, known as a solitonic vortex
What Does Passive Learning Bring To Adyen?
No full textAnalyzing large numbers of log entries can be challenging, especially when there are many short log entries that each describe only one execution of the system, either successful or unsuccessful. How can one determine whether the system is working correctly, based on these logs? The logs that are of interest (e.g., log entries pointing towards some anomaly in the system) may be hidden between all the logs that are of less interest. Luckily, there are so-called passive learning tools that infer a (graph) model from such set of logs, which allows the user to oversee all paths that were taken in the system. In this thesis, we discuss the opportunities for passive learning for Adyen, a large-scale payment company. We compare three different open source passive learning tools (namely Synoptic, InvariMint, and DFASAT) in terms of runtime performance and output complexity, and show that all tools struggle with an increasing input size. We also share the results of a survey we conducted under developers to identify their perceptions, and for which purpose(s) they would use such tools. Furthermore, we provide six examples of different types of analyses that are possible with passive learning (such as finding bugs, comparing within a context, and analyzing timings), and that are useful for the company. We include a short guide on how to adopt passive learning, and what we had to change in one of the tools to make it so useful. Finally, we show how a graph difference tool can help to compare different graphs, for example over different time intervals. This tool highlights differences in both structure and frequencies. Altogether, this shows what passive learning brings to Adyen.Electrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer ScienceIntelligent SystemsSoftware Engineering Research Grou
Anti-Pattern Scanner: An Approach to Detect Anti-Patterns and Design Violations
No full textIn this Master's Thesis Project, two Code Smells, four Anti-Patterns and four types of Design Principle violations have been examined. We developed a detection program called the Anti-Pattern Scanner. This scanner has been used in an empirical evaluation where five open-source Java projects have been examined and scanned for these `pattern' problems. The results are that the examined problems generally do occur in software systems. The problems are estimated to be inconvenient to software development, depending on the strength of their presence. Based on the Anti-Pattern Scanner and the results from this evaluation, suggestions for follow-up studies are offered.Computer ScienceComputer ScienceElectrical Engineering, Mathematics and Computer Scienc
