In compound detection or discrimination tasks, 1 prominent general mechanism to model the combination of the output of different processing channels is probability summation. The classical example is the binocular summation model of Pirenne (1943), according to which a weak visual stimulus is detected if at least 1 of the 2 eyes detects this stimulus; as we review briefly, exactly the same reasoning is applied in numerous other fields. It is generally accepted that this mechanism necessarily predicts performance based on 2 (or more) channels to be superior to single channel performance, because 2 separate channels provide "2 chances" to succeed with the task. We argue that this reasoning is misleading because it neglects the increased opportunity with 2 channels not just for hits but also for false alarms and that there may well be no redundancy gain at all when performance is measured in terms of receiver operating characteristic curves. We illustrate and support these arguments with a visual detection experiment involving different spatial uncertainty conditions. Our arguments and findings have important implications for all models that, in one way or another, rest on, or incorporate, the notion of probability summation for the analysis of detection tasks, 2-alternative forced-choice tasks, and psychometric functions.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{FreundtHalamaSuessetal.2014, author = {Freundt, A. and Halama, Ralf and Suess, E. and Voelker, D.}, title = {Introduction to the special issue on SFB 574 "Volatiles and fluids in subduction zones: climate feedback and trigger mechanisms for natural disasters"}, series = {International journal of earth sciences}, volume = {103}, journal = {International journal of earth sciences}, number = {7}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {New York}, issn = {1437-3254}, doi = {10.1007/s00531-014-1059-9}, pages = {1729 -- 1731}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @unpublished{Schlaad2014, author = {Schlaad, Helmut}, title = {Thiol-X chemistry in polymer science}, series = {Polymer : the international journal for the science and technology of polymers}, volume = {55}, journal = {Polymer : the international journal for the science and technology of polymers}, number = {22}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {Oxford}, issn = {0032-3861}, doi = {10.1016/j.polymer.2014.09.020}, pages = {5509 -- 5510}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @unpublished{HenkelPieplow2014, author = {Henkel, Carsten and Pieplow, Gregor}, title = {Reply to Comment on 'Fully covariant radiation force on a polarizable particle'}, series = {New journal of physics : the open-access journal for physics}, volume = {16}, journal = {New journal of physics : the open-access journal for physics}, publisher = {IOP Publ.

But they differ from traditional desktop systems in many aspects - these include predictable timing behavior (real-time), the management of scarce resources (memory, network), reliable communication protocols, energy management, special purpose user-interfaces (headless operation), system configuration, programming languages (to support software/hardware co-design), and modeling techniques. Within this technical report, authors present results from the lecture "Operating Systems for Embedded Computing" that has been offered by the "Operating Systems and Middleware" group at HPI in Winter term 2013/14. Focus of the lecture and accompanying projects was on principles of real-time computing. Students had the chance to gather practical experience with a number of different OSes and applications and present experiences with near-hardware programming. Projects address the entire spectrum, from bare-metal programming to harnessing a real-time OS to exercising the full software/hardware co-design cycle. Three outstanding projects are at the heart of this technical report. Project 1 focuses on the development of a bare-metal operating system for LEGO Mindstorms EV3. While still a toy, it comes with a powerful ARM processor, 64 MB of main memory, standard interfaces, such as Bluetooth and network protocol stacks. EV3 runs a version of 1 1 Introduction Linux. Sources are available from Lego's web site. However, many devices and their driver software are proprietary and not well documented. Developing a new, bare-metal OS for the EV3 requires an understanding of the EV3 boot process. Since no standard input/output devices are available, initial debugging steps are tedious. After managing these initial steps, the project was able to adapt device drivers for a few Lego devices to an extent that a demonstrator (the Segway application) could be successfully run on the new OS. Project 2 looks at the EV3 from a different angle. The EV3 is running a pretty decent version of Linux- in principle, the RT_PREEMPT patch can turn any Linux system into a real-time OS by modifying the behavior of a number of synchronization constructs at the heart of the OS. Priority inversion is a problem that is solved by protocols such as priority inheritance or priority ceiling. Real-time OSes implement at least one of the protocols. The central idea of the project was the comparison of non-real-time and real-time variants of Linux on the EV3 hardware. A task set that showed effects of priority inversion on standard EV3 Linux would operate flawlessly on the Linux version with the RT_PREEMPT-patch applied. If only patching Lego's version of Linux was that easy... Project 3 takes the notion of real-time computing more seriously. The application scenario was centered around our Carrera Digital 132 racetrack. Obtaining position information from the track, controlling individual cars, detecting and modifying the Carrera Digital protocol required design and implementation of custom controller hardware. What to implement in hardware, firmware, and what to implement in application software - this was the central question addressed by the project.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{FedchenkoTarkhanov2014, author = {Fedchenko, Dmitry and Tarkhanov, Nikolai Nikolaevich}, title = {An index formula for Toeplitz operators}, volume = {3}, number = {12}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {2193-6943}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-72499}, pages = {24}, year = {2014}, abstract = {We prove a Fedosov index formula for the index of Toeplitz operators connected with the Hardy space of solutions to an elliptic system of first order partial differential equations in a bounded domain of Euclidean space with infinitely differentiable boundary.}, language = {en} } @unpublished{DereudreRoelly2014, author = {Dereudre, David and Roelly, Sylvie}, title = {Path-dependent infinite-dimensional SDE with non-regular drift : an existence result}, volume = {3}, number = {11}, publisher = {Universit{\"a}tsverlag Potsdam}, address = {Potsdam}, issn = {2193-6943}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:517-opus-72084}, pages = {27}, year = {2014}, abstract = {We establish in this paper the existence of weak solutions of infinite-dimensional shift invariant stochastic differential equations driven by a Brownian term.
