Having an additional linear constraint is then equivalent to the NP-hard Knapsack problem, certain classes thereof have been studied in recent works. In this article, we present a dynamic model of optimizing linear functions under uniform constraints. Starting from an optimal solution with respect to a given constraint bound, we investigate the runtimes that different evolutionary algorithms need to recompute an optimal solution when the constraint bound changes by a certain amount. The classical (1+1) EA and several population-based algorithms are designed for that purpose, and are shown to recompute efficiently. Furthermore, a variant of the (1+(λ,λ))GA for the dynamic optimization problem is studied, whose performance is better when the change of the constraint bound is small.}, language = {en} } @article{DereudreHoudebert2018, author = {Dereudre, David and Houdebert, Pierre}, title = {Sharp phase transition for the continuum Widom-Rowlinson model}, series = {Annales de l'Institut Henri Poincar{\´e}.

The model is also tuned by two other parameters: the activity z > 0 related to the intensity of the process and the inverse temperature beta >= 0 related to the strength of the interaction. In the present paper we investigate the phase transition of the model in the point of view of percolation theory and the liquid-gas transition. First, considering the graph connecting points with distance smaller than 2r > 0, we show that for any beta >= 0, there exists 0 <(similar to a)(zc) (beta, r) < +infinity such that an exponential decay of connectivity at distance n occurs in the subcritical phase (i.e. z <(similar to a)(zc) (beta, r)) and a linear lower bound of the connection at infinity holds in the supercritical case (i.e. z >(similar to a)(zc) (beta, r)). These results are in the spirit of recent works using the theory of randomised tree algorithms (Probab. Theory Related Fields 173 (2019) 479-490, Ann. of Math. 189 (2019) 75-99, Duminil-Copin, Raoufi and Tassion (2018)). Secondly we study a standard liquid-gas phase transition related to the uniqueness/non-uniqueness of Gibbs states depending on the parameters z, beta. Old results (Phys. Rev. Lett. 27 (1971) 1040-1041, J. Chem. Phys. 52 (1970) 1670-1684) claim that a non-uniqueness regime occurs for z = beta large enough and it is conjectured that the uniqueness should hold outside such an half line ( z = beta >= beta(c) > 0). We solve partially this conjecture in any dimension by showing that for beta large enough the non-uniqueness holds if and only if z = beta. We show also that this critical value z = beta corresponds to the percolation threshold (similar to a)(zc) (beta, r) = beta for beta large enough, providing a straight connection between these two notions of phase transition.}, language = {en} } @article{BrandtBeckerTetzneretal.2018, author = {Brandt, Naemi D. and Becker, Michael and Tetzner, Julia and Brunner, Martin and Kuhl, Poldi and Maaz, Kai}, title = {Personality across the lifespan exploring measurement invariance of a short Big Five Inventory from ages 11 to 84}, series = {European journal of psychological assessment}, volume = {36}, journal = {European journal of psychological assessment}, number = {1}, publisher = {Hogrefe}, address = {G{\"o}ttingen}, issn = {1015-5759}, doi = {10.1027/1015-5759/a000490}, pages = {162 -- 173}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Personality is a relevant predictor for important life outcomes across the entire lifespan.

The present study investigated the structure of the Big Five personality traits assessed with the Big Five Inventory-SOEP Version (BFI-S; SOEP = Socio-Economic Panel) across a broad age range spanning 11-84 years. We used two samples of N = 1,090 children (52\% female, M-age = 11.87) and N = 18,789 adults (53\% female, M-age = 51.09), estimating a multigroup CFA analysis across four age groups (late childhood: 11-14 years; early adulthood: 17-30 years; middle adulthood: 31-60 years; late adulthood: 61-84 years). Our results indicated the comparability of the personality trait metric in terms of general factor structure, loading patterns, and the majority of intercepts across all age groups. Therefore, the findings suggest both a reliable assessment of the Big Five personality traits with the BFI-S even in late childhood and a vastly comparable metric across age groups.}, language = {en} } @article{MuschallaHenningHaakeetal.2018, author = {Muschalla, Beate and Henning, Anne and Haake, Tim Woody and Cornetz, Kathrin and Olbrich, Dieter}, title = {Mental health problem or workplace problem or something else}, series = {Disability and rehabilitation : an international, multidisciplinary journal}, volume = {42}, journal = {Disability and rehabilitation : an international, multidisciplinary journal}, number = {4}, publisher = {Routledge, Taylor \& Francis Group}, address = {Abingdon}, issn = {0963-8288}, doi = {10.1080/09638288.2018.1501099}, pages = {502 -- 509}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Purpose: Work perception is an important predictor for work ability and, therefore, of interest for rehabilitation. Until now it is unclear to which extent different psychological aspects explain work perception. This study investigates in which way workplace problems on the one hand, and mental health and coping on the other hand, contribute to work perception. Methods: A heterogeneous sample of 384 persons in working age with and without mental health problems was recruited. Participants gave self-reports on workplace problems, mental health problems, work-coping, work-anxiety, and work perception. Results: Persons with mental health problems and workplace problems (M + W) perceive the highest degree of work demands, followed by persons with workplace problems but without mental health problems (NM + W). Work-anxiety appeared as the strongest factor explaining perception of high work demands, whereas general mental health problems did not contribute significantly to variance explanation. Conclusions: Persons with specific mental health problems in terms of work-anxiety may be expected to perceive higher work demands. They may be detected when asking for work perception, e.g., within the frame of return-to-work interventions in rehabilitation, or in occupational health settings by mental hazard analysis.}, language = {en} } @misc{DvornikovLeibmanHeimetal.2018, author = {Dvornikov, Yury and Leibman, Marina and Heim, Birgit and Bartsch, Annett and Herzschuh, Ulrike and Skorospekhova, Tatiana and Fedorova, Irina and Khomutov, Artem and Widhalm, Barbara and Gubarkov, Anatoly and R{\"o}ßler, Sebastian}, title = {Terrestrial CDOM in lakes of Yamal Peninsula}, series = {Zweitver{\"o}ffentlichungen der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, journal = {Zweitver{\"o}ffentlichungen der Universit{\"a}t Potsdam : Mathematisch-Naturwissenschaftliche Reihe}, number = {1333}, issn = {1866-8372}, doi = {10.25932/publishup-45972}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus4-459720}, pages = {21}, year = {2018}, abstract = {In this study, we analyze interactions in lake and lake catchment systems of a continuous permafrost area.

Results show that, in comparison to the statement, speakers use a higher pitch register throughout the utterance as a global parameter, and falling f0, longer duration and higher intensity as local parameters on the final syllable of the Yes-No question. Further, two perception experiments (forced-choice identification and gating) investigate the perceptual relevance of the global parameter and the local final parameters. Results show that listeners cannot assess the higher pitch register information to identify the mode of a sentence early on. Rather, identification takes place when the local phonetic parameters on the final vowel are available. The findings point to the superiority of language-specific cues in sentence mode perception. It is suggested that Akan uses a low boundary tone that associates with the right edge of the intonation phrase (L\%) in Yes-No questions. The results are discussed from the point of view of question intonation typology in African languages.

This study investigated how these two numerical meanings of fingers are intertwined with numerical cognition in adults. Participants received tactile stimulation on their fingertips of one hand and named either the number of fingers stimulated (2, 3, or 4 fingers; Experiment 1) or the number of stimulations on one fingertip (2, 3, or 4 stimulations; Experiment 2). Responses were faster and more accurate when the set of stimulated fingers corresponded to finger counting habits (Experiment 1) and when the number of stimulations matched the ordinal position of the stimulated finger (Experiment 2). These results show that tactile numerosity perception is affected by individual finger counting habits and that those habits give numerical meaning to single fingers.}, language = {en} }
