To enable\u0000measurements at high density, the heads of the pedestrians are marked and\u0000tracked, thus providing a complete representation of the phase space. However,\u0000classical definitions and local measurements of flow, density, and velocity of\u0000pedestrian streams using trajectories are based on different segments in phase\u0000space (Lagrangian representation). The flow is defined as an average value over\u0000time, while the density is defined as the average value of an area. This leads\u0000to inconsistencies in central relations, such as the flow equation or the\u0000fundamental diagram. These have a particular effect in inhomogeneous states,\u0000such as the stop-and-go waves, where, in addition, the pedestrians do not\u0000change their position in the stop phase, but the head of the body moves. In\u0000order to obtain a local and spatio-temporally consistent measurement of the\u0000quantities flow, density, and velocity while ensuring particle number\u0000conservation fields (Euler representation) and the continuity equation could be\u0000used. To map trajectories of pedestrians heads parameter free and unambiguously\u0000to fields, this article introduces a method based on the Voronoi decomposition.\u0000These new definitions of flow, density, speed, and the particle number\u0000conserving flow equation are consistent with classical measurements. They are\u0000able to scrutinise inconsistencies in the state of the art of pedestrian\u0000fundamental diagrams.","PeriodicalId":501043,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Physics and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142249640","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This\u0000connection emerged initially through his interest in Rathcroghan and in our\u0000paper, `Exploring the Nature of the Fr'aoch Saga', which we concluded with the\u0000statement that we believed it `presents a case that will hopefully ignite\u0000conversation between disciplines'. This led us to consider the potential value\u0000for researchers of compiling a template list of useful and reliable sources and\u0000resources to consult, in other words a type of starter toolkit or guide for any\u0000individual from an alternative discipline or background, who might possess, or,\u0000in time, develop a personal or professional interest in Early Ireland and Early\u0000Irish literature. In doing this, we decided for ease of illustration, to take\u0000the example of the location name Rathcroghan/Cruachan A'i, (the prehistoric\u0000Royal Site of Connacht in the west of Ireland and the place that we both work\u0000in and interact with on a daily basis), as a case study in order to demonstrate\u0000an initial methodological approach to not only the types of resources and\u0000information available, but also to highlight some potential pitfalls that may\u0000arise in the course of an investigation.","PeriodicalId":501043,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Physics and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142249688","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Costa","doi":"arxiv-2409.11389","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/arxiv-2409.11389","url":null,"abstract":"The subject of features normalization plays an important central role in data\u0000representation, characterization, visualization, analysis, comparison,\u0000classification, and modeling, as it can substantially influence and be\u0000influenced by all of these activities and respective aspects. The selection of\u0000an appropriate normalization method needs to take into account the type and\u0000characteristics of the involved features, the methods to be used subsequently\u0000for the just mentioned data processing, as well as the specific questions being\u0000considered. After briefly considering how normalization constitutes one of the\u0000many interrelated parts typically involved in data analysis and modeling, the\u0000present work addressed the important issue of feature normalization from the\u0000perspective of uniform and proportional (right skewed) features and comparison\u0000operations. More general right skewed features are also considered in an\u0000approximated manner. Several concepts, properties, and results are described\u0000and discussed, including the description of a duality relationship between\u0000uniform and proportional feature spaces and respective comparisons, specifying\u0000conditions for consistency between comparisons in each of the two domains. Two\u0000normalization possibilities based on non-centralized dispersion of features are\u0000also presented, and also described is a modified version of the Jaccard\u0000similarity index which incorporates intrinsically normalization. Preliminary\u0000experiments are presented in order to illustrate the developed concepts and\u0000methods.","PeriodicalId":501043,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Physics and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142249642","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We introduce a bias towards one of the opinions in a manner not\u0000considered earlier to the best of our knowledge. When the bias is neutral, the\u0000model is reduced to a mean-field voter model. We analyze the behavior and\u0000steady states of the system, identifying three distinct regimes based on the\u0000bias level: one favoring negative opinions, one favoring positive opinions, and\u0000a neutral case. In large systems, the equilibrium properties become independent\u0000of the size of the group, indicating that only the bias influences the final\u0000outcome. However, for small groups, the time to reach equilibrium depends on\u0000the size of the group. Our results show that even a small initial bias leads to\u0000a consensus where all agents eventually share the same opinion when the bias is\u0000not neutral. The system exhibits universal behavior, with critical slowing down\u0000occurring near the neutral bias point, marking it as a critical dynamical\u0000threshold. The time required to reach consensus scales logarithmically when the\u0000bias is non-neutral and linearly when it is neutral. Although short-term\u0000dynamics depends on group size for small groups, long-term behavior is governed\u0000solely by the bias.","PeriodicalId":501043,"journal":{"name":"arXiv - PHYS - Physics and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142249644","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
