Measurements of the Higgs boson inclusive and differential fiducial cross sections in the 4 decay channel at = 13 TeV

Inclusive and differential fiducial cross sections of the Higgs boson are measured in the H → Z Z∗ → 4 ( = e, μ) decay channel. The results are based on protonproton collision data produced at the Large Hadron Collider at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector from 2015 to 2018, equivalent to an integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1. The inclusive fiducial cross section for the H → Z Z∗ → 4 process is measured to be σfid = 3.28 ± 0.32 fb, in agreement with the Standard Model prediction of σfid,SM = 3.41 ± 0.18 fb. Differential fiducial cross sections are measured for a variety of observables which are sensitive to the production and decay of the Higgs boson. All measurements are in agreement with the Standard Model predictions. The results are used to constrain anomalous Higgs boson interactions with Standard Model particles.
Supplementary Materials for CAP: Robust Point Cloud Classification via Semantic and Structural Modeling

where F (X) is the cumulative density function. Such property makes it easy to model the data around the mean value, but hard to characterize the tail distribution of real-world data [20,25]. To address the issue, the extreme value theory proposes to study the maximum of observations. Generally speaking, suppose n random variables X1, · · · , Xn are i.i. d sampled from an arbitrary distribution F (X), then the distribution of the maximum will degenerate to 0 because,
Something is Lurking: The Impact of Liminality on the Emotional Something is Lurking: The Impact of Liminality on the Emotional Valence of Buildings Valence of Buildings

This proposed study examines the eﬀect of architectural liminality on the emotional experience of occupying buildings. Liminality is a quality of strangeness in built spaces which arises from deviations in normal, expected, or logical design. These deviations may create a sense of unease or being creeped out. The proposed study tests the self-reported emotional reaction of participants to one of two buildings, one having liminal traits and the other being without them. It is hypothesized that a greater degree of discomfort or nervousness will be reported in the liminal space than in the nonliminal.
UvA-DARE ( Digital Academic Repository ) Virus discovery and human parechoviruses

Virus discovery combining sequence unbiased amplification with next generation sequencing is now state-of-the-art. We have previously determined that the performance of the unbiased amplification technique which is operational at our institute, VIDISCA-454, is efficient when respiratory samples are used as input. The performance of the assay is, however, not known for other clinical materials like blood or stool samples. Here, we investigated the sensitivity of VIDISCA-454 with feces-suspensions and serum samples that are positive and that have been quantified for norovirus and human immunodeficiency virus type 1, respectively. The performance of VIDISCA-454 in serum samples was equal to its performance in respiratory material, with an estimated lower threshold of 1.000 viral genome copies. The estimated threshold in fecessuspension is around 200.000 viral genome copies. The decreased sensitivity in feces suspension is mainly due to sequences that share no recognizable identity with known sequences. Most likely these sequences originate from bacteria and phages which are not completely sequenced.
Large-Scale Physical Models of Thermal Remediation of DNAPL Source Zones in Aquitards

Abstract : In-Situ Thermal Remediation (ISTR) technologies are receiving increasing attention for remediation of dense non-aqueous phase liquid (DNAPL) source zones in soil and groundwater (GW), and are the subject of a number of related current projects funded by the Strategic Environmental Research and Development Program (SERDP) and the Environmental Security Technology Certification Program (ESTCP). A clear understanding of the primary mechanisms of ISTR is crucial for the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of Energy (DOE) to be able to select appropriate sites and effective ISTR technologies for DNAPL source zone remediation. This project in particular was proposed in response to SERDP Statement of Need (SON) for FY 2005 CUSON-05-04 dated November 6, 2003, which sought "fundamental or applied studies to improve our understanding of: (1) the mechanisms of removal and destruction of free phase and residual dense nonaqueous phase liquids (DNAPLs) during in situ thermal treatment, including the reductions in plume loading and plume longevity; and (2) the impact of varying subsurface conditions on overall removal and destruction efficiency during thermal treatment. " The objectives of this project (ER-1423) were to: 1. determine the relative significance of the various contaminant removal mechanisms below the water table (e.g. steam generation, steam stripping, volatilization); 2. assess the DNAPL source removal efficiency and accompanying change in water saturation at various treatment temperatures/durations through boiling; and 3. evaluate the potential for DNAPL mobilization, either through volatilization and recondensation, and/or pool mobilization outside of the target treatment zone (TTZ) during heating.

We identify four distinct uses or meanings of stewardship in the literature: Ethic, Motivation, Action and Outcome. Using a framework based on three overlapping dimensions of stewardship – care, knowledge and agency – we demonstrate how these meanings relate to each other and how this can facilitate communication and collaboration between and among scholars and practitioners.

A Bayesian changepoint analysis on spatio-temporal point processes

Changepoint analysis is a well established area of statistical research, but in the context of spatio-temporal point processes it is as yet relatively unexplored. Some substantial differences with regard to standard changepoint analysis have to be taken into account: firstly, at every time point the datum is an irregular pattern of points; secondly, in real situations issues of spatial dependence between points and temporal dependence within time segments raise. Our motivating example consists of data concerning the monitoring and recovery of radioactive particles from Sandside beach, North of Scotland; there have been two major changes in the equipment used to detect the particles, representing known potential changepoints in the number of retrieved particles. In addition, offshore particle retrieval campaigns are believed may reduce the particle intensity onshore with an unknown temporal lag; in this latter case, the problem concerns multiple unknown changepoints. We therefore propose a Bayesian approach for detecting multiple changepoints in the intensity function of a spatio-temporal point process, allowing for spatial and temporal dependence within segments. We use Log-Gaussian Cox Processes, a very flexible class of models suitable for environmental applications that can be implemented using integrated nested Laplace approximation (INLA), a computationally efficient alternative to Monte Carlo Markov Chain methods for approximating the posterior distribution of the parameters. Once the posterior curve is obtained, we propose a few methods for detecting significant change points. We present a simulation study, which consists in generating spatio-temporal point pattern series under several scenarios; the performance of the methods is assessed in terms of type I and II errors, detected changepoint locations and accuracy of the segment intensity estimates. We finally apply the above methods to the motivating dataset and find good and sensible results about the presence and quality of changes in the process.

Measurement of top quark pair differential cross sections in the dilepton channel in pp collisions at ﬃﬃ s p = 7 and 8 TeV with ATLAS

Measurements of normalized differential cross sections of top quark pair ( t ¯ t ) production are presented as a function of the mass, the transverse momentum and the rapidity of the t ¯ t system in proton-proton collisions at center-of-mass energies of ﬃﬃﬃ s p ¼ 7 and 8 TeV. The data set corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 4 . 6 fb − 1 at 7 TeV and 20 . 2 fb − 1 at 8 TeV, recorded with the ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider. Events with top quark pair signatures are selected in the dilepton final state, requiring exactly two charged leptons and at least two jets with at least one of the jets identified as likely to contain a b hadron. The measured distributions are corrected for detector effects and selection efficiency to cross sections at the parton level. The differential cross sections are compared with different Monte Carlo generators and theoretical calculations of t ¯ t production. The results are consistent with the majority of predictions in a wide kinematic range.
RELAKSASI OTOT PROGRESIF TERHADAP STRES PSIKOLOGIS DAN PERILAKU PERAWATAN DIRI PASIEN DIABETES MELLITUS TIPE 2

Penderita DM tipe 2 sering mengalami stres berkaitan dengan terapi yang harus dijalani. Pengalaman stres sebelum dan selama terapi berpengaruh terhadap perilaku perawatan diri. Relaksasi otot progresif merupakan salah satu manajemen stres. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menjelaskan pengaruh relaksasi otot progresif terhadap stres psikologis dan perilaku perawatan diri pada pasien DM Tipe 2 ang dilakukan pada tahun 2014. Desain penelitian ini kuasi eksperimen dengan pre-test dan post-test. Jumlah sampel 30 responden yang terdiri dari kelompok 14 orang kelompok perlakuan dan 16 orang kelompok kontrol. Teknik pengambilan sampel menggunakan purpossive sampling. Analisa data khusus menggunakan Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test dan Mann-Whitney U Test. Berdasarkan Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test untuk menguji pre-test dan post-test pada kelompok perlakuan didapatkan hasil stres psikologis p=0,014 (p 0,05) Kesimpulan dari penelitian ini: ada pengaruh relaksasi otot progresif terhadap penurunan stres psikologis pada pasien DM tipe 2 dan tidak ada pengaruh relaksasi otot progresif terhadap perilaku perawatan diri pada pasien DM tipe 2. Penelitian lebih lanjut post-test perilaku perawatan diri perlu dilakukan dengan selang waktu yang lebih lama dibandingkan dengan stres psikologis. Patients with Type 2 Diabetes mellitus often have stress experience related to diabetes therapy. Stress experience before and during therapy affects self-care behaviors. Progressive muscle relaxation is one of stress management. The purpose of this study is to clarify the effect of progressive muscle relaxation on the psychological stress and self-care behavior in patients with Type 2 Diabetes mellitus in 2014. The research design was quasy-experiment with pre-test and post-test design. Total sample was 30 respondents consisting of 14 people in treatment group and 16 people in control group recruited by purpossive sampling. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test test and Mann-Whitney U Test. The result showed in the experimental group of psychological stress p=0.014 (p 0,05). It is concluded that there was an effect of progressive muscle relaxation on reducing psychological stress in patients with type 2 diabetes and no effect of progressive muscle relaxation on self-care behavior in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Further research about self-care behaviors post-test needs to be done at longer intervals than the psychological stress.
An exploration of patients’ experience of nurses’ use of point-of-care information technology in acute care

The rapid introduction of technology into acute healthcare settings, specifically the presence of point-of-care health information technology at patients’ bedsides, is expected to impact patients’ healthcare experience by altering nursepatient interactions. This research was a multi-method naturalistic pilot study designed to explore patients’ perception of their interactions with nurses using bedside point-of-care health information technology in acute care. Data were collected using observation, interviews and surveys. Twenty-four participants were purposefully recruited from medical and surgical wards, to capture variability in their self-reported confidence with information technology; 29% were not confident, 38% were somewhat confident and 33% were completely confident with information technology. Participants’ mean age was 68.6 years (SD 11.1) and 63% were male. Qualitative observation, interview and survey data showed some nurses directly involved patients and explained or demonstrated how the point-of-care health information technology was being used to complement and enhance their care; while others used the point-of-care health information technology as an electronic documentation tool without engaging their patients. Patients’ experiences of point-of-care health information technology differed with their self-reported confidence with information technology; those with complete information technology confidence were better at recognising the potential and opportunities for point-of-care health information technology to support self-directed care than those with less confidence using information technology. Some participants reported that the use of point-of-care health information technology impeded interpersonal communication with nurses. Participants recognised the benefits of point-of-care health information technology to support clinical practice but generally desired greater engagement with the nurses when they used the system.
Maximizing Received Energy in Magnetic Resonance Wireless Power Transfer Using Feedback

This paper considers the effect of variation of load resistance, as a function of the amount of charged energy in battery, in magnetic wireless power transfer. We calculate load resistance as a function of time, and show that load resistance increases as the receiver acquires energy over time. Unlike the previous studies that considered the resonance frequency of transmitter and receiver as a fixed value, so that it remains unchanged once it has been set, it is shown that the resonance frequency changes as load resistance varies. To avoid performance degradation due to the unmatched resonance frequencies between transmitter and receiver, we employ feedback from the receiver. Considering the cost of feedback, there is a trade-off between the number of feedbacks that the receiver sends and the collected energy at the receiver. For a point-to-point system model, the optimal feedback interval that maximizes the received energy is found. The numerical results show that the proposed protocol collect more energy compared to the conventional magnetic wireless power transfer systems.

MIANet: Aggregating Unbiased Instance and General Information for Few-Shot Semantic Segmentation

(1) In the hierarchical prior module (HPM) of MIANet, the size of Mins is {(60, 60), (30, 30), (15, 15), (8, 8)}, which is consistent with PFENet [6]. (2) In the general information module (GIM), the middlelevel features are obtained by concatenating the intermediate features of backbone. For instance, we get the middle-level features of ResNet50 through concatenating the features from block 2 and block 3 [7]. The middle-level feature dimension c is 256.
UvA-DARE ( Digital Academic Repository ) Birds of a feather flock together : Experience-driven formation of visual object categories in human ventral temporal cortex

The present functional magnetic resonance imaging study provides direct evidence on visual object-category formation in the human brain. Although brain imaging has demonstrated object-category specific representations in the occipitotemporal cortex, the crucial question of how the brain acquires this knowledge has remained unresolved. We designed a stimulus set consisting of six highly similar bird types that can hardly be distinguished without training. All bird types were morphed with one another to create different exemplars of each category. After visual training, fMRI showed that responses in the right fusiform gyrus were larger for bird types for which a discrete category-boundary was established as compared with not-trained bird types. Importantly, compared with not-trained bird types, right fusiform responses were smaller for visually similar birds to which subjects were exposed during training but for which no category-boundary was learned. These data provide evidence for experience-induced shaping of occipitotemporal responses that are involved in category learning in the human brain.

A thermochemical water-splitting iodine-sulfur process (IS process) is one of the candidates for the large-scale production of hydrogen using heat from solar power or nuclear energy. Severe corrosive environment which is thermal decomposition of sulfuric acid exists in the IS process. To achieve the IS process, one of the key factors is the development of structural materials against the severe corrosive environment. A hybrid material with the corrosion-resistance and the ductility was made by a silicon powder plasma spraying and laser treatment. The hybrid materials had excellent corrosion resistance in the condition of 95 mass% boiling sulfuric acid. This was attributed to the formation of SiO 2 on the surface. To confirm the manufacturability of a container using the hybrid technique, the production of container with a welded part, a chamfer and a curved surface was experimentally tried. A configuration of the container is 150mm inside diameter, 120mm in height and 6mm in thickness. In the production process of the container, the treatment of the welded part is very important. The preliminary examination of the welded part was carried out using Hastelloy C276 plates. The distance between fusion line and the plasma spraying and laser treatment area was decided to 15 mm from the results of the preliminary examination. The container firstly divided into the upper and the lower part, the inside of them was conducted the plasma spraying and laser treatment and then they were welded by a tungsten inert gas. Finally, the surface of the welded part was covered by plasma spraying and laser treatment. There was no detachment in the plasma spraying and laser treated layer of the container after the laser treatment. We succeeded in the production of the container using the hybrid technique.
A review of metal additive manufacturing technologies: Mechanism of defects formation and simulation of melting and solidification phenomena in laser powder bed fusion process

In this review, the analysis of melting and solidification phenomena and the mechanism of the occurrence of defects as well as the analysis of melting and solidification using the numerical simulation in laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) process were introduced. In addition, the strategies of suppression of defects were described. The melting and solidification phenomena during LPBF process are relatively similar to those during welding. Since the plume brings about the strong recoil pressure on the melt pool, the keyhole takes place. And when the depth of keyhole becomes more than a threshold, the keyhole pore remains at the bottom of melt pool. Since the plume also brings about spattering and blows out powder, the gas pores are prone to occur easily. The micro-simulation of melting and solidification enables to reproduce the real phenomena. The macro-simulation of melting and solidification phenomena is one of the effective tools to predict the optimum fabrication condition. In order to prevent the occurrence of defects, it is significant not only to obtain the optimum fabrication condition using the process map but also to develop the simulation software. In addition, the use of the monitoring and feedback control system is greatly effective. Therefore the development of the cyber-physical system is needed.
