description: We address a broad class of optimization problems of finding quantum measurements, which includes the problems of finding an optimal measurement in the Bayes criterion and a measurement maximizing the average success probability with a fixed rate of inconclusive results. Our approach can deal with any problem in which each of the objective and constraint functions is formulated by the sum of the traces of the multiplication of a Hermitian operator and a detection operator. We first derive dual problems and necessary and sufficient conditions for an optimal measurement. We also consider the minimax version of these problems and provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a minimax solution. Finally, for optimization problem having a certain symmetry, there exists an optimal solution with the same symmetry. Examples are shown to illustrate how our results can be used.

description: In this work we investigate the properties of an Abelian gauge vector field in a thin and in a smoothed string-like braneworld, the so-called string-cigar model. This thick brane scenario satisfies the regularity conditions and it can be regarded as an interior and exterior string-like solution. The source undergoes a geometric Ricci flow which is connected to a variation of the bulk cosmological constant. The Ricci flow changes the width and amplitude of the massless mode at the brane core and recover the usual thin string-like behavior at large distances. By numerical means we obtain the Kaluza-Klein (KK) spectrum for both the thin brane and the string-cigar. It turns out that both models exhibit a mass gap between the massless and the massive modes and between the high and the low mass regimes. The KK modes are smooth near the brane and their amplitude are enhanced by the string-cigar core. The analogue Schrödinger potential is also tuned by the geometric flow.
description: The discussion about the Kaluza-Klein spectrum of the gauge field was improved. Numerical analysis was adapted to the conventional notation on Kaluza-Klein number. Some graphics were modified for considering other notation. Results unchanged. References added. Corrected typos. 17 pages. 6 figures. To match version to appears in Physics Letters B

description: A new polynomial identity is found for Dickson polynomials in characteristic 2. The identity is used to prove that the two polynomials $x^{q+1}+x+1/a$ and $C(x)+a$ have the same splitting field over $F$, where $F$ is a field of characteristic 2, $a$ is a nonzero element of $F$, $q=2^n>2$, and $C(x) = x (\sum_{i=0}^{n-1} x^{2^i-1})^{q+1}$ is a Müller--Cohen--Matthews polynomial of degree $(q^2-q)/2$. In addition, a new proof is obtained for the known result that $C(x)$ induces a permutation on $F_{2^m}$ if $2m$ and $n$ are relatively prime.

description: For three different geometric configurations of matter and two different thermodynamic equations of state, low angular momentum, multi-transonic, axially symmetric accretion flow of matter having fractional dimension of mass distribution onto a rotating black hole has been studied by employing certain post-Newtonian pseudo-Kerr black hole potential. Such task has been accomplished mathematically by mapping the fractal nature of accreted medium onto its continuum counterpart. The difference between spin dependence of accretion dynamics of the fractal medium and the continuous medium has been highlighted. By employing a time dependent linear perturbation scheme, it has been demonstrated that accretion of matter with fractional dimension of density distribution can be considered as a natural example of classical analogue model. The corresponding acoustic surface gravity has been estimated in terms of accretion variables. The value of the surface gravity changes as the accreted matter makes a transition from its fractal nature to the corresponding continuum distribution.

description: One of the most famous applications of Graph Theory is in the field of Channel Assignment Problems. There are varieties of graph colouring concepts that are used for different requirements of frequency assignments in communication channels. We introduce here L(t, 1)-colouring of graphs. This has its foundation in T-colouring and L(p, q)-colouring. For a given finite set T including zero, an L(t, 1)-colouring of a graph G is an assignment of non-negative integers to the vertices of G such that the difference between the colours of adjacent vertices must not belong to the set T and the colours of vertices that are at distance two must be distinct. The variable t in L(t, 1) denotes the elements of the set T. For a graph G, the L(t, 1)-span of G is the minimum of the highest colour used to colour the vertices of a graph out of all the possible L(t, 1)-colourings. It is denoted by $λ_{t,1} (G)$. We study some properties of L(t, 1)-colouring. We also find upper bounds of $λ_{t,1} (G)$ of selected simple connected graphs.

We demonstrate that the inequality is especially powerful when $2\tilde χ+3σ\geq 0$, where $\tilde χ$ is the modified Euler number taking account of the cup product on $H^1$.

description: We define Chern and Segre forms, or rather currents, associated with a Griffiths positive singular hermitian metric $h$ with analytic singularities on a holomorphic vector bundle $E$. The currents are constructed as pushforwards of generalized Monge-Ampère products on the projectivization of $E$. The Chern and Segre currents represent the Chern and Segre classes of $E$, respectively, and coincide with the Chern and Segre forms of $E$ and $h$, where $h$ is smooth. Moreover, our currents coincide with the Chern and Segre forms constructed by the first three authors and Ruppenthal in the cases when these are defined.
Paradoxical intention : a social learning analysis
Creators: name: Rotgers, Frederick
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 1983

description: The use of paradoxical approaches to psychotherapy has an extensive history dating to Adler. The practice of paradoxical therapy has been hindered by the lack of a testable theoretical framework. Likewise, little experimental evidence exists for the efficacy of paradoxical techniques. This dissertation examines one paradoxical therapy technique, paradoxical intention (PI), from a social-learning theory perspective. The growing experimental literature on PI is critically reviewed with regard to the methodological adequacy of the studies, and the evidence for the efficacy of PI. A testable theoretical explanation of the action of PI is proposed drawing upon two segments of the experimental-clinical literature: l) the effects of uncertainty of aversive stimulation on behavior and arousal, and 2) Bandura's self-efficacy theory. Finally, a program of research is proposed to test aspects of the proposed theory as well as to answer other questions about PI. It is concluded that PI is a potentially facilitative adjunct to exposure methods of anxiety and arousal reduction, but that, due to problems of confounding of PI and exposure treatments in the experimental literature, it is unclear whether PI has any specific therapeutic effects beyond facilitation of exposure.

description: The role of vegetation structure in relation to wind speed and diaspore attributes on secondary diaspore dispersal by wind has not been empirically studied. Here, we investigated secondary dispersal by wind of diaspores placed in 12 different kinds of vegetation and bare land. The experiments were conducted in a wind tunnel using a range of wind speeds and diaspores that differed in mass and kind of appendages. The explanations of wind speed, diaspore attributes, vegetation coverage, life-form, vertical pattern and horizontal pattern for diaspore dispersal capacity were 6.67~10.40%, 16.13~20.53%, 6.227~24.64%, 0.10%, 0.74%, and 0.10%, respectively. Compared with wind speed and diaspore attributes, vegetation coverage contributed the most to diaspore dispersal capacity when vegetation coverage was low (<10% in our study). However, but with a high (10-30%) coverage, vegetation coverage was the least influential factor in secondary diaspore dispersal by wind. Vegetation coverage significantly interacted with vegetation life-form, horizontal pattern and vertical pattern on affecting diaspore dispersal capacity. Thus, the most influential factor determining secondary diaspore dispersal by wind is vegetation coverage.

In particular we connect the combinatorial cost with the cost of the ultralimit equivalence relations. Finally a relative version of Stuck-Zimmer property is also considered.

Patient-therapist working alliance rating discrepancies predicting alcohol treatment participation and clinical outcomes
Creators: name: Rodriguez, Michael
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Client and therapist perceptions regarding their therapeutic working alliance have been shown to be independently predictive of treatment outcomes. The extent to which patients and therapists agree or disagree about the quality of the therapeutic relationship may be a distinct variable from either individual’s perspective of the quality of the relationship. Recent studies of alliance have explored patient and therapist congruence and discrepancy regarding measurements of the alliance and the degree to which they are predictive of treatment outcomes. This study centers on an investigation of patient-therapist discrepancy in evaluations of the therapeutic relationship as a predictor of treatment participation and outcomes (i.e., alcohol use, alcohol-related problems). To achieve study aims, secondary data analyses were conducted using 741 participants from the outpatient sample of Project MATCH. To examine the extent to which patient-therapist Working Alliance Inventory (WAI) rating discrepancies predicted posttreatment outcomes and treatment participation, a difference score was computed and multiple regression analyses conducted. To further examine patient-therapist WAI discrepancy as a predictor of posttreatment outcomes and treatment participation, both patient and therapist WAI scores were categorized as high or low alliance based on a median split, yielding a 2 by 2 study design (therapist score vs. patient score; low vs. high). Study hypotheses based on this 2 by 2 study design were tested using four analyses of covariance (ANCOVAs). Working alliance discrepancy was not found to be a significant predictor of posttreatment alcohol use behavior, alcohol-related negative consequences, or treatment participation when controlling for baseline measures. No significant interaction effect was found for the combination of patient and therapist alliance levels on posttreatment outcomes when controlling for baseline measures, although significant main effects (p < .05) were detected. The results of the current study do not support the hypothesis that alliance discrepancy accounts for differences in treatment outcomes and treatment participation. Limitations of the study and future directions for research examining alliance discrepancy are discussed.

description: Injury is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. Both can be reduced by prompt, systematic care. However, assessing or comparing outcomes over time or between regions is difficult without consistent injury severity assessments. The Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) is a severity-weighted injury classification system. AIS-derived summary scores can describe the severity of injured individuals and populations, and underpin many aspects of injury care. Injury diagnosis and management change over time. This thesis aims to develop and evaluate AIS-derived tools enabling the consistent prediction of fatal and non-fatal outcomes following injury, and to identify principles ensuring ongoing AIS relevancy.

For a given reference signal, the objective is that the tracking error evolves within a pre-specified performance funnel. Exploiting recent results in funnel control, this can be achieved by showing that inter alia the system's internal dynamics are bounded-input, bounded-output stable.

A realizability-preserving discontinuous Galerkin scheme for entropy-based moment closures for linear kinetic equations in one space dimension

Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)

description: We implement a high-order numerical scheme for the entropy-based moment closure, the so-called M$_N$ model, for linear kinetic equations in slab geometry. A discontinuous Galerkin (DG) scheme in space along with a strong-stability preserving Runge-Kutta time integrator is a natural choice to achieve a third-order scheme, but so far, the challenge for such a scheme in this context is the implementation of a linear scaling limiter when the numerical solution leaves the set of realizable moments (that is, those moments associated with a positive underlying distribution). The difficulty for such a limiter lies in the computation of the intersection of a ray with the set of realizable moments. We avoid this computation by using quadrature to generate a convex polytope which approximates this set. The half-space representation of this polytope is used to compute an approximation of the required intersection straightforwardly, and with this limiter in hand, the rest of the DG scheme is constructed using standard techniques. We consider the resulting numerical scheme on a new manufactured solution and standard benchmark problems for both traditional M$_N$ models and the so-called mixed-moment models. The manufactured solution allows us to observe the expected convergence rates and explore the effects of the regularization in the optimization.

description: In this work, we exploit the sector level sweep of the IEEE 802.11ad communication standard to implement an opportunistic radar at mmWaves and derive an adaptive procedure for detecting multiple targets (echoes) and estimating their parameters. The proposed detector/estimator extracts the prospective echoes one-by-one from the received signal, after removing the interference caused by the previously detected (stronger) targets. Examples are provided to assess the system performance, also in comparison with the canonical matched-filter peak-detector and the Cramér-Rao bounds. Results indicate that the proposed method is robust against the signal spillover and the near-far problem caused by the imperfect auto-correlation of the probing signal and, for the same probability of false alarm, grants detection and localization performances close to those previously obtained in a simplified single-target scenario.

description: We consider theoretically as a function of temperature the plasmon mode arising in three-dimensional Dirac liquids, i.e., systems with linear chiral relativistic single-particle dispersion, within the random phase approximation. We find that whereas no plasmon mode exists in the intrinsic (undoped) system at zero temperature, there is a well-defined finite-temperature plasmon with superlinear temperature dependence, rendering the plasmon dispersion widely tunable with temperature. The plasmon dispersion contains a logarithmic correction due to the ultraviolet-logarithmic renormalization of the electron charge, manifesting a fundamental many-body interaction effect as in quantum electrodynamics. The plasmon dispersion of the extrinsic (doped) system displays a minimum at finite temperature before it crosses over to the superlinear intrinsic behavior at higher temperature, implying that the high-temperature plasmon is a universal feature of Dirac liquids irrespective of doping. This striking characteristic temperature dependence of intrinsic Dirac plasmons along with the logarithmic renormalization is a unique manifestation of the three-dimensional relativistic Dirac nature of quasiparticle excitations and serves as an experimentally observable signature of three-dimensional Dirac materials.

description: Topological insulators (TIs) containing 4f electrons have recently attracted intensive interests due to the possible interplay of their non-trivial topological properties and strong electronic correlations. YbB6 and SmB6 are the prototypical systems with such unusual properties, which may be tuned by external pressure to give rise to new emergent phenomena. Here, we report the first observation, through in-situ high pressure resistance, Hall, X-ray diffraction and X-ray absorption measurements, of two pressure-induced quantum phase transitions (QPTs) in YbB6. Our data revealthat the two insulating phases are separated by a metallic phase due to the pressure-driven valence change of Yb f-orbitals. In combination with previous studies, our results suggest that the two insulating states may be topologically different in nature and originate from the d-p and d-f hybridization, respectively. The tunable topological properties of YbB6 revealed in this study may shed light on the intriguing correlation between the topology and the 4f electrons from the perspective of pressure dependent studies.

Feature extraction and matching in content-based retrieval of functional magnetic resonance images

description: Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) has become a widely used technique in neuroscience research. Brain regions corresponding to certain cognitive functionalities can be located by studying the intensity change in a series of 3D brain scans.Although fMRI has been widely studied, little attention has been paid to content-based (``content'' means the explicit or implicit cognitive process) retrieval of images despite the existence of databases equipped with textual description (fMRIDC). Content-based retrieval is potentially useful in discovering brain activation patterns, and in diagnoses by comparing observed patterns with those of known diseases, leading to clinical applications. We conducted a comprehensive investigation of feature extraction and similarity measures used in several research communities (including information retrieval (IR), signal processing, and computer vision(CV)), to set up a content-basedretrieval framework for a large, heterogeneous database. We developed methods for both hypothesis-based (stimulus known) and hypothesis-free (stimulus unknown) schemes. For the former, we adapted and extended an adaptive Finite Impulse Response (FIR) Model to get a more robust estimation of the activation level of brain regions. We then relaxed the assumption that the brain responds as a linear time-invariant (LTI) system, by using a 4-parameter ordinary differential equation to model brain responses. We then evaluated a number of similarity measures used in IR and CV, such as Latent Semantic Indexing (LSI), TFIDF, and Mahalanobis distance, etc. For the latter, we used a heuristic to select independent components with low mean temporal frequency, and applied a maximum weight bipartite matching technique to integrate component-level similarity and give a more robust retrieval performance.For feature selection, we found that an FIR model with a smoothing factor can improve retrieval performance significantly. For feature matching, a method similar to ``dilation operators'' used in image processing gives better and more robust retrieval performance than other methods.
Signatures of MRI-Driven Turbulence in Protoplanetary Disks: Predictions for ALMA Observations

description: Spatially resolved observations of molecular line emission have the potential to yield unique constraints on the nature of turbulence within protoplanetary disks. Using a combination of local non-ideal magnetohydrodynamic simulations and radiative transfer calculations, tailored to properties of the disk around HD 163296, we assess the ability of ALMA to detect turbulence driven by the magnetorotational instability (MRI). Our local simulations show that the MRI produces small-scale turbulent velocity fluctuations that increase in strength with height above the mid-plane. For a set of simulations at different disk radii, we fit a Maxell-Boltzmann distribution to the turbulent velocity and construct a turbulent broadening parameter as a function of radius and height. We input this broadening into radiative transfer calculations to quantify observational signatures of MRI-driven disk turbulence. We find that the ratio of the peak line flux to the flux at line center is a robust diagnostic of turbulence that is only mildly degenerate with systematic uncertainties in disk temperature. For the CO(3-2) line, which we expect to probe the most magnetically active slice of the disk column, variations in the predicted peak-to-trough ratio between our most and least turbulent models span a range of approximately 15%. Additional independent constraints can be derived from the morphology of spatially resolved line profiles, and we estimate the resolution required to detect turbulence on different spatial scales. We discuss the role of lower optical depth molecular tracers, which trace regions closer to the disk mid-plane where velocities in MRI-driven models are systematically lower.

Lifshitz field theories, Snyder noncomutative space-time and momentum dependent metric

description: In this work, we propose three different modified relativistic particles. In the first case, we propose a particle with metrics depending on the momenta and we show that the quantum version of these systems includes different field theories, as Lifshitz field theories. As a second case we propose a particle that implies a modified symplectic structure and we show that the quantum version of this system gives different noncommutative space-times, for example the Snyder space-time. In the third case, we combine both structures before mentioned, namely noncommutative space-times and momentum dependent metrics. In this last case, we show that anisotropic field theories can be seen as a limit of noncommutative field theory.

description: HVAC systems account for a significant portion of building energy use. Nighttime setback scheduling is an energy conservation measure where cooling and heating setpoints are increased and decreased respectively during unoccupied periods with the goal of obtaining energy savings. However, knowledge of a building’s real occupancy is required to maximize the success of this measure. In addition, there is the need for a scalable way to estimate energy savings potential from energy conservation measures that is not limited by building specific parameters and experimental or simulation modeling investments. Here, we propose MARTINI, a sMARt meTer drIveN estImation of occupant-derived HVAC schedules and energy savings that leverages the ubiquity of energy smart meters and WiFi infrastructure in commercial buildings. We estimate the schedules by clustering WiFi-derived occupancy data and, energy savings by shifting ramp-up and setback times observed in typical/measured load profiles obtained by clustering smart meter energy data. Our case-study results with five buildings over seven months show an average of 8.1%–10.8% (summer) and 0.2%–5.9% (fall) chilled water energy savings when HVAC system operation is aligned with occupancy. We validate our method with results from building energy performance simulation (BEPS) and find that estimated average savings of MARTINI are within 0.9%–2.4% of the BEPS predictions. In the absence of occupancy information, we can still estimate potential savings from increasing ramp-up time and decreasing setback start time. In 51 academic buildings, we find savings potentials between 1%–5%

description: In this paper, we design efficient algorithms to approximately count the number of edges of a given $k$-hypergraph, and to sample an approximately uniform random edge. The hypergraph is not given explicitly, and can be accessed only through its colourful independence oracle: The colourful independence oracle returns yes or no depending on whether a given subset of the vertices contains an edge that is colourful with respect to a given vertex-colouring. Our results extend and/or strengthen recent results in the graph oracle literature due to Beame et al. (ITCS 2018), Dell and Lapinskas (STOC 2018), and Bhattacharya et al. (ISAAC 2019). Our results have consequences for approximate counting/sampling: We can turn certain kinds of decision algorithms into approximate counting/sampling algorithms without causing much overhead in the running time. We apply this approximate-counting/sampling-to-decision reduction to key problems in fine-grained complexity (such as $k$-SUM, $k$-OV and weighted $k$-Clique) and parameterised complexity (such as induced subgraphs of size $k$ or weight-$k$ solutions to CSPs).
