Decision making under uncertainty rees presentationaOfer Erez
A partnership of funders invites applications for proposals to support networking of researchers from different disciplines relating to the topic of decision making under uncertainty. The theme of the call builds on some events held by the funding partners and Research Councils UK (RCUK). There is a budget of up to £750,000 to support this activity, and we expect to fund a maximum of two networks, which will include support for feasibility projects, for two years.

Uncertainty Principle and Photography. see mdashf.org/2015/06/08/Manmohan Dash
Photography is based on the detection of photons. Photons are easy to misinterpret as these are a bunch of special quantum. They are not like other quantum mechanical particles. eg they are NOT electrons. How is a photon different from an electron while both electrons and photons are dual entities? That is they are both to be realized as wave as well as particles? Here is the most basic elucidation of their properties. A photon is more like a wave even if its both wave and a particle. An electron is more like a particle even if its both wave and a particle. That is basically so because the photons never carry mass, and as a consequence their speed is always as high as it can be, which is found to be 300,000 km per second. Its erroneous to call photon's REST frame into consideration for that reason. Its not a particle if we are to think classically, particles must carry mass and by effect of their mass, momentum. But while they are mass-less they do have momentum. This property is described in one article on my website, which I will find and link, if you are interested. But to the contrary the electron does have some mass even when its at rest. (Photon can never attain rest and can never attain mass, it can only have momentum and energy as long as its single and traveling in vacuum). So one can bring the electron to rest in some way. How does that affect photography? The basic laws of nature are different for electrons and photons for this reason. The very uncertainty principles that we chose to describe the electrons must first be changed in a special way before they can be applied on the photon. The difference is electron being more particle like due to its possible slower motion, does not describe the photon as the latter is never a slower candidate. Hence the Non-relativistic forms of Uncertainty Relation are to be changed into the Relativistic Uncertainty Relation. Only then photography can be properly understood. In this special latter case of photon, the regular momentum-position uncertainty relation is no longer valid. How can you describe the photon, which never comes to rest; with "its" POSITION? It does not have a position. Hence position-momentum uncertainty is to be changed. Its recast-able into a speed-momentum (and position-energy etc) form. A form which I have worked out in much detail in one of my research work, available on my website (mdashf.org) Hence a constant speed results in a blurred momentum, a blurred energy and a blurred position. Depending on various other parameters such as time, the probability patterns of a camera image changes depending upon the relative motion between observed and observer (camera and object whose image is taken) Due to relative motion between camera and object (such as a bird) one is definitely going to get a blurred image. This is the reason the moving parts of a body whose picture is being taken might produce a fuzzy image while the parts that are still, always produces a sharp image.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
