Year: 2024

description: Medical image processing has been expanding its path dramatically and now- a-days this field is also attracting the experts from many other fields ofresearch such as; engineering, mathematics, statistics, biology, computer science etc. Rapid growth in the collection of medical images and their analysis and proper use of those images plays vital role for development of image analysis strategies. Many computational models have been explored and proposed based on magnetic resonance images (MRI), Computed (Axial) Tomography (CT), Positron Emission Tomography (PET). The key benefits of medical imaging are widely used in diagnosing the illness and severity of the disease quickly and accurately and due to this digital diagnostic procedure, the surgery may not be required, which can be characterized by studying the properties obtained using this digital image processing. Considering, thegrowing interest in the medical image classification, attempts are made in this thesis to focus on design of accurate classification models using MRI, CT and PET images. The development of computational models which can analyse significant volume of images and can produce high quality information out of those images for disease diagnose and treatment is the key focus of this thesis.

description: The hosts of long duration gamma-ray bursts are predominantly starburst galaxies at subsolar metallicity. At redshifts z<1, this implies that most of them are low-mass galaxies similar to the populations of blue compact dwarfs and dwarf irregulars. What triggers the massive star-formation (SF) needed for producing a GRB progenitor is still largely unknown, as are the resolved gas properties and kinematics of these galaxies and their formation history. Here we present a sample of six spatially resolved GRB hosts at z<0.3 observed with 3D spectroscopy at high spectral resolution (R=8,000-13,000) using FLAMES/VLT. We analyzed the resolved gas kinematics of the full sample and the abundances in a subsample. Only two galaxies show a regular disk-like rotation field, another two are dispersion-dominated, the remaining two have a double emission component associated with different parts of the galaxy, which might indicate a recent merger. All galaxies show evidence for broad components underlying the main emission peak (sigma = 50-110 km/s). This broad component is more metal-rich than the narrow components, it is blueshifted in most cases, and it follows a different velocity structure. We find a weak correlation between the SF rate and the width of the broad component, its flux compared to the narrow component, and the maximum outflow velocity of the gas, but we do not find any correlation with the SF density, metallicity or stellar mass. We associate this broad component with a metal-rich outflow from star-forming regions. The GRB is not located in the brightest region of the host, but is always associated with some star-forming region showing a clear wind component. Our study shows the potential of 3D spectroscopy to study the SF processes in galaxies hosting extreme transients, the need for high S/N, and the perils using unresolved or only partially resolved data for these kinds of studies.

description: On the southwestern coast of India, Kerala, with its fortuitous position in the Indian ocean trade network, has served as a beacon for merchant ships since antiquity. As early as the ninth-century, Kerala’s rulers – the Cēras (ca. 800 – 1124) and merchant polities developed a symbiotic relationship that allowed a wealth of diplomatic privileges for traders. Religious leaders who travelled with merchants are named as the benefactors of agreements between the Cēras and the guilds. This dissertation will show that a corollary of this unique trade policy was the canonization of a shared architectural and artistic vocabulary in the region’s religious monuments. Individual chapters dedicated to the architectural style of temples, churches, synagogues, and mosques will examine this syncretism and the idiomatic mode of sacred art and architecture that came to define the Kerala style.

description: The objective of the consistent-amplitude approach to quantum theory has been to justify the mathematical formalism on the basis of three main assumptions: the first defines the subject matter, the second introduces amplitudes as the tools for quantitative reasoning, and the third is an interpretative rule that provides the link to the prediction of experimental outcomes. In this work we introduce a natural and compelling fourth assumption: if there is no reason to prefer one region of the configuration space over another then they should be `weighted' equally. This is the last ingredient necessary to introduce a unique inner product in the linear space of wave functions. Thus, a form of the principle of insufficient reason is implicit in the Hilbert inner product. Armed with the inner product we obtain two results. First, we elaborate on an earlier proof of the Born probability rule. The implicit appeal to insufficient reason shows that quantum probabilities are not more objective than classical probabilities. Previously we had argued that the consistent manipulation of amplitudes leads to a linear time evolution; our second result is that time evolution must also be unitary. The argument is straightforward and hinges on the conservation of entropy. The only subtlety consists of defining the correct entropy; it is the array entropy, not von Neumann's. After unitary evolution has been established we proceed to introduce the useful notion of observables and we explore how von Neumann's entropy can be linked to Shannon's information theory. Finally, we discuss how various connections among the postulates of quantum theory are made explicit within this approach.

description: In the era of globalization, every organization or company is required to have a differentiation advantage that can be used as an additional weapon to face competitors. Companies in the face of threats and challenges that arise can implement the right strategy that aligns with the core advantages. The purpose of this study is to examine and analyze the effect of the implementation of responsibility accounting and strategy on organizational performance. The population of this research is all managers of an organization in Indonesia, amounting to 130 people. The sampling technique is carried out with a "non-probability sampling" approach with the "purposive sampling" method. The analytical model used to test the proposed hypothesis is multiple linear regression by checking the compatibility of the F test model and testing the test hypothesis t. The results of the study prove that the Implementation of Responsibility Accounting and Strategy Implementation influences organizational performance. In this case, the influence is a positive influence. This positive influence implies that the organization must have responsibility for accounting and implement it in the operational activities of the organization. Also, strategies must be created and indeed implemented so that organizational performance increases and has competitive advantages.

description: A simple generalization of the Swift-Hohenberg equation is proposed as a model for the pattern-forming dynamics of a two-dimensional field with two unstable length scales. The equation is used to study the dynamics of surface waves in a fluid driven by a linear combination of two frequencies. The model exhibits steady-state solutions with two-, four-, six-, and twelve-fold symmetric patterns, similar to the periodic and quasiperiodic patterns observed in recent experiments.

description: Toral automorphisms, represented by unimodular integer matrices, are investigated with respect to their symmetries and reversing symmetries. We characterize the symmetry groups of GL(n,Z) matrices with simple spectrum through their connection with unit groups in orders of algebraic number fields. For the question of reversibility, we derive necessary conditions in terms of the characteristic polynomial and the polynomial invariants. We also briefly discuss extensions to (reversing) symmetries within affine transformations, to PGL(n,Z) matrices, and to the more general setting of integer matrices beyond the unimodular ones.

description: The saturation of ion cyclotron Alfven turbulence excited by beam particles is investigated using resonance broadening theory. The stochastic scattering which decorrelates particles, includes both random acceleration by electric fields and a turbulent magnetic mirroring effect. Turbulent mirroring is shown to yield non-Gaussian corrections to the orbits even if the random electric and magnetic fields are Gaussian. The predicted steady-state turbulence level exhibits a peaked anglular distribution, with a maximum near Theta ~ 60 degrees.

description: We present two catalogs of radio-loud candidate blazars whose WISE mid-infrared colors are selected to be consistent with the colors of confirmed gamma-ray emitting blazars. The first catalog is the improved and expanded release of the WIBRaLS catalog presented by D'Abrusco et al. (2014): it includes sources detected in all four WISE filters, spatially cross-matched with radio source in one of three radio surveys and radio-loud based on their q22 spectral parameter. WIBRaLS2 includes 9541 sources classified as BL Lacs, FSRQs or mixed candidates based on their WISE colors. The second catalog, called KDEBLLACS, based on a new selection technique, contains 5579 candidate BL Lacs extracted from the population of WISE sources detected in the first three WISE passbands ([3.4], [4.6] and [12]) only, whose mid-infrared colors are similar to those of confirmed, gamma-ray BL Lacs. KDBLLACS members area also required to have a radio counterpart and be radio-loud based on the parameter q12, defined similarly to q22 used for the WIBRaLS2. We describe the properties of these catalogs and compare them with the largest samples of confirmed and candidate blazars in the literature. We crossmatch the two new catalogs with the most recent catalogs of gamma-ray sources detected by Fermi LAT instrument. Since spectroscopic observations of candidate blazars from the first WIBRaLS catalog within the uncertainty regions of gamma-ray unassociated sources confirmed that ~90% of these candidates are blazars, we anticipate that these new catalogs will play again an important role in the identification of the gamma-ray sky.

We find that monopolistic airports have an incentive to restrain landing fees when they generate additional non-aviation revenues and that the optimal landing fee decreases in the degree of complementarity of aviation and non-aviation. Furthermore, we show that monopolistic airports will not have an incentive to abuse their market power anymore so that a price regulation becomes inappropriate as soon as non-aviation revenues increase above 50% of all airport revenues.

description: Shared decision making is considered to be a crucial component of high quality and safe patient-centered primary care treatment. Hispanics are the fastest growing minority group in the United States and they experience substantial health disparities. The aim of this study was to examine the factors that correlate with Hispanics' decision role preferences for participation in treatment decision making with their primary care clinician. Hispanic patients (n=772) were recruited from five zip codes in the Washington Heights/Inwood community of New York City and survey data were collected via interview by bilingual community health workers in four New York-Presbyterian Ambulatory Care Network clinics. Data were analyzed using multinomial logistic regression to investigate the association between sociodemographic and health factors and role preference in primary care treatment decision making (passive, shared, active); passive role as the reference range. Most survey respondents preferred to participate in medical treatment decisions in a shared or active role (90%) and also had inadequate health literacy (95%). The odds of wanting to participate in decision making in a shared role with a primary care provider significantly increased with younger age (OR=0.98, 95% CI [0.96- 0.99], p =0.01), less than 21 years living in the United States (OR=0.48, 95% CI [0.27- 0.88], p =0.02), more adequate health literacy (Newest Vital Sign) (OR=.46, 95% CI [0.25- 0.83], p =0.01), better ability to understand health instructions, pamphlets or written health materials (OR=0.55, 95% CI [0.31- 0.99], p =0.05), and higher social role performance (OR=0.97, 95% CI [0.94- 0.99], p =0.04). Statistically significant odds for preference for an active role were higher education (OR=3.11, 95% CI [1.20- 8.04], p =.02), less than 21 years living in the United States (OR=0.37, 95% CI [0.19- 0.73], p =0.004), and younger age (OR=0.98, 95% CI [0.95- 0.99], p =0.02). However, the overall models demonstrated poor fit with study data explaining 10% -14% of the variation of the dependent variable. Understanding the factors that influence Hispanic patients' role preference in primary care treatment decisions is crucial to providing higher quality patient-centered care and to possibly reducing Hispanics' health disparities. Our analysis suggested a number of patient specific factors that should be used to inform future informatics, clinical and public health primary care interventions for Hispanic patients. In addition, our analysis also underscores the need for more theoretical and analytical research to further characterize the factors that contribute to Hispanic patients' role preference in primary care treatment decision making.

description: This paper presents the outcome of a formative study - experiences and requirements - on using wireless sensor network technology in retail stores. The study was carried out in several steps. - First, a simple approach to implementing a wireless sensor network system was used by a developer for building a retail store application. Here we collected experiences about the problems in the application implementation process. - Second, the system was deployed in a real retail store. Here we collected feedback from customers and from retail store staff about the system, its usefulness and integration into the overall daily business workflow. - Third, we analyzed requirements for the next generation of improved wireless sensor network systems by performing a requirements study. We will report our initial results of the requirements analysis study. The findings indicate a lack of abstraction from the technical details of the system needed to enable a high-level developer to create an application for a retail scenario, and we will list some of the important issues that need to be addressed.

description: Linear control theory is used to develop an improved localized control scheme for spatially extended chaotic systems, which is applied to a Coupled Map Lattice as an example. The optimal arrangement of the control sites is shown to depend on the symmetry properties of the system, while their minimal density depends on the strength of noise in the system. The method is shown to work in any region of parameter space and requires a significantly smaller number of controllers compared to the method proposed earlier by Qu and Hu. A nonlinear generalization of the method for a 1-d lattice is also presented.

description: Persons with serious mental illness (SMI) are in worse physical health compared to persons in the general population and are more likely to develop medical conditions, such as obesity and diabetes, which place them at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD). There is some evidence that Hispanics with serious mental illness are at greater risk for developing CVD risk factors compared to non-Hispanic Whites with SMI mainly due to health disparities. This study asks the questions: 1) What self-management behaviors do Hispanics with SMI and at risk of CVD engage in or attempt to engage in?, 2) How do measures of self-efficacy and patient activation correspond to self-management behaviors and barriers?, and 3) How do patients’ and stakeholders’ reports of barriers converge or diverge? Self-efficacy theory and social ecology theory were used as theoretical frameworks. Twenty four consumers were recruited from an outpatient mental health clinic. Seventeen stakeholders were recruited through various sites. A convergent mixed methods approach was used. Quantitative measures of self-efficacy and patient activation were compared to qualitative data on self-management behaviors and barriers to healthy living. Additionally, two sets of qualitative data on consumers’ and stakeholders’ perceptions of barriers to healthy living were compared to determine if they converged. Self-management behaviors identified included: healthy eating, seeking medical care, engaging in physical activity, involving others, self-motivation, use of faith, and engaging in structured and unstructured activities. Consumers with high levels of self-efficacy and patient activation tended to engage in more self-management behaviors regularly and perceived fewer barriers. Consumers with the lowest levels of self- efficacy and patient activation engaged in fewer self-management behaviors regularly and encountered more barriers. Consumer and stakeholder perceptions of barriers to healthy living experienced by consumers did converge, with the exception of the following additional barriers which were only identified by stakeholders: lack of health education, lack of formal education, consumer beliefs and fears, and body image. Using an ecological approach, barriers were identified at different environmental levels, often interacting. Overall, self-efficacy and patient activation may have an important influence on self-management behaviors among Hispanics with SMI and at risk for CVD. There is the possibility that barriers may moderate this relationship. Additionally, an ecological approach to understanding barriers to healthy living can be used to locate barriers and develop interventions which address them.
Gauge techniques in time and frequency domain TLM

description: Typical features of the Transmission Line Matrix (TLM) algorithm in connection with stub loading techniques and prone to be hidden in common frequency domain formulations are elucidated within the propagator approach to TLM. In particular, the latter reflects properly the perturbative character of the TLM scheme and its relation to gauge field models. Internal 'gauge' degrees of freedom are made explicit in the frequency domain by introducing the complex nodal S-matrix as a function of operators that act on external or internal fields or virtually couple the two. As a main benefit, many techniques and results gained in the time domain thus generalize straight away. The recently developed deflection method for algorithm synthesis, which is extended in this paper, or the non-orthogonal node approximating Maxwell's equations, for instance, become so at once available in the frequency domain. In view of applications in computational plasma physics, the TLM model of a relativistic charged particle current coupled to the Maxwell field is treated as a prototype.

Historic Preservation and Open Space: Mutual Reinforcement of the Dual Characteristics ---- A Case Study of Yuan Dynasty City Wall Relics Park in Beijing, China

description: This thesis investigates the Yuan Dynasty City Wall Relics Park in Beijing, China. Under the backdrop of large-scale demolition of historic structures and the growing popularity of open space, the relics park, as a combination of both a historic site and a park, has been given more attention from governmental officials, planners, and even residents. Government and planners are facing the problem of balancing the relationship between historic preservation and urban open space, and residents are also involved because this is closely related to peopleUs residential environment and quality of life.

Through my interviews and site visit, I find the relics park has significant positive externalities to the surroundings. In addition, there is a mutual reinforcement of the dual characteristics in the relics park. Its features as a historic site lead it to be built into a park, and its functions as a park strengthen its historic value.

The Yuan Dynasty City Wall Relics Park is not the only case of transformation from historic site into an open space.  The implications of the Yuan Dynasty City Wall Relics Park are profound; the renovation of a relics park through the combination of historic preservation and open space has been acknowledged gradually and could be generalized further more. The Ming Dynasty City Wall Ruins Park realized the transformation from a pure historic site to an open space in the same way and got a good result. And I think to combine the characteristics of historic preservation and open space would be a good way to protect historic sites and provide residents with amenities at the same time.

description: Support in research data management (RDM) is a field that is getting more and more important for academic libraries in Switzerland. Therefore, the Swiss Library Network for Education and Research (SLiNER), which represents all academic and scientific libraries (universities, universities of applied sciences and arts, universities of teacher education and other scientific libraries) in Switzerland, mandated in Autumn 2022 a working group on Open Research Data (AKORD). The task of this group is to provide SLiNER with advice and support on issues related to RDM services in libraries. AKORD is composed of experts from libraries at institutions of Higher Education. In this talk, which was held at the Bibliosuisse conference in Zurich on November 2, 2023, we introduce AKORD, report on the first year’s activities and explore synergies and opportunities for collaboration.

description: Enhanced understanding of forest stocks and dynamics can be gained through improved forest measurement, which is required to assist with sustainable forest management decisions, meet Australian and international reporting needs, and improve research efforts to better respond to a changing climate. Integrated sampling schemes that utilise a multi-scale approach, with a range of data sourced from both field and remote sensing, have been identified as a way to generate the required forest information. Given the multi-scale approach proposed by these schemes, it is important to understand how scale potentially affects the interpretation and reporting of forest from a range of data. ¶ To provide improved forest assessment at a range of scales, this research has developed a strategy for facilitating tree and stand level retrieval of structural attributes within an integrated multi-scale analysis framework. ...

description: Nitrate releases from blasting residues at open pit coal mines can be an environmental concern because of potential eutrophication of receiving waters. Cost effective methods have not yet been identified to remove nitrate from large discharges such as occur at surface mines. Earlier studies in Canada and elsewhere have shown that wetlands may be a low-cost option for nutrient and metals removal from mine drainage. As a result of these studies, Environment Canada commissioned a 3-year study to investigate treatment efficiency, wastewater effects on vegetation, and wetland maintenance requirements. The selected study site was an operating coal mine on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Effluent from the mine's settling pond was dosed with KNO₃ to simulate nitrate enrichment. This paper presents the results of the third year of wetland operation, from December 1989 to March 1991. Mass removal efficiencies of total-N and NO₃-N averaged 96.7 % and 90.2 %, respectively. Peak nitrogen removals occurred during the warm season, although removal in excess of 72 % continued in winter. NH₃-N and NO₂-N often increased through the wetland, although wetland effluent concentrations were within Canadian water quality guidelines. The results support the hypothesis that wetland systems can be effective in mitigating environmental impacts of mining. Key words: wetlands, nitrogen removal, coal mining, pilot scale, Canada.

A Study of Saigyo monogatari

description: Many questions surround the anonymous medieval work known as Saigyo monogatari (translated here as “The Tale of Saigyo”, and for simplicity generally referred to as “the Tale”). When was it first created? By whom, and for what intended audience? By what process did it proliferate into the many variant texts that have come down to us? How many other variants may once have existed? What is the relationship between the existing variants, and which can be considered the earliest? Might this be the “original text”, or is it too a reworking of some now lost original text? ¶ In the last forty years, these questions have been taken up by a number of scholars, but to date there has been no full-length study that takes into account the wide range of variant texts and attempts in any systematic way to analyze them in a search for answers. The present study seeks to fill this gap. I compare 11 texts, consisting of representatives from all the main variant categories and including all the texts which are known to be, or which seem to me to be, early forms. ...

Representations of Two-Colour BWM Algebras and Solvable Lattice Models

description: Many of the known solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation, which are related to solvable lattice models of vertex- and IRF-type, yield representations of the Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebra. From these, representations of a two-colour generalization of the Birman-Wenzl-Murakami algebra can be constructed, which in turn are used to derive trigonometric solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation. In spirit, this construction resembles the fusion procedure, in the sense that starting from known solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation new solutions can be obtained.
