description: Camping needs a strategic shift based on innovation and that competes with the current campsites. Glamping emerges as an innovative concept, capable of combining the advantages of camping, making up for the negative issues traditionally associated with it. This topic is justified by the growing trend around the world, which may serve to withdraw camping from the stagnation stage where it is. The present study aims to fill a significant lack of scientific material about glamping in Portugal and to identify the importance given to the attributes that define this concept: Nature; Accommodation; Gastronomy; and Experience. Focusing on the campsites in Porto's Metropolitan Area, data was collected through an original questionnaire, obtaining a convenient sample of 201 campers. A one-dimensional structure was assumed in the attributes: Nature, Gastronomy and Service and a two-dimensional structure of the attributes: Accommodation and Experience. Regarding the analysed attributes, the one which collected the highest value of importance was the one related to the questions about "Nature", followed by the attributes "Service"and "Accommodation_Amenities". This finding confirms the basis of the concept of glamping. The profile of the user of this concept was suggested through descriptive analysis. The hypotheses have shown that, among the campers, there are no significant differences between the level of experimentation and gender, which is not true for age and literacy. It was also concluded that the importance attributed to the service increases according to the amount willing to pay by the camper, per night in a glamping unit.

description: This thesis investigated a novel approach to design a drug that binds selectively to the cardiac tissue and spare the kidneys. This drug is aimed at treating chronic heart failure patients. The findings of the thesis suggested that a drug could be designed so when it reaches the heart, it binds to the targeted receptor. However, upon entering kidneys, the drug can be inactivated by an enzyme that is specifically present in the kidney and absent in the heart.

description: This paper studies gender differences in the elasticity of labor supply in a model of household specialization. We show that household specialization implies larger Frisch elasticities for the partner that specializes in home production. Quantitatively, empirical time-use ratios alone imply differences in the Frisch elasticity between women and men of about 50%. Similar results are obtained for long-run elasticities. However, limited commitment within the household reduces the gender differences in long-run labor-supply elasticities. Our results imply that the elasticity of labor supply is not a deep parameter but can react on, e.g., gender-biased employment subsidies, public child care provision, and divorce laws.

description: We prove two extensions of Hansson and Hultman's word property for certain analogues of reduced words associated to twisted involutions in Coxeter groups. Our first extension concerns the superset of such words in which terms with a natural commutativity property may be optionally primed. Our other extension involves variants of these words in which a defining minimal length condition is relaxed. In type A the sets considered are closely related to generating functions for Schur Q-functions and K-theoretic Schur P-functions.

SU(2)$_{\tiny\mbox{CMB}}$ at high redshifts and the value of $H_0$

description: We investigate a high-$z$ cosmological model to compute the co-moving sound horizon $r_s$ at baryon-velocity freeze-out towards the end of hydrogen recombination. This model assumes a replacement of the conventional CMB photon gas by deconfining SU(2) Yang-Mills thermodynamics, three flavours of massless neutrinos ($N_ν=3$), and a {\sl purely baryonic} matter sector (no cold dark-matter (CDM)). The according SU(2) temperature-redshift relation of the CMB is contrasted with recent measurements appealing to the thermal Sunyaev-Zel'dovich effect and CMB-photon absorption by molecular rotations bands or atomic hyperfine levels. Relying on a realistic simulation of the ionization history throughout recombination, we obtain $z_*=1693.55\pm 6.98$ and $z_{\rm drag}=1812.66\pm 7.01$. Due to considerable widths of the visibility functions in the solutions to the associated Boltzmann hierarchy and Euler equation we conclude that $z_*$ and $z_{\rm drag}$ over-estimate the redshifts for the respective photon and baryon-velocity freeze-out. Realistic decoupling values turn out to be $z_{{\rm lf},*}=1554.89\pm 5.18$ and $z_{\rm lf,drag}=1659.30\pm 5.48$. With $r_s(z_{\rm lf,drag})=(137.19\pm 0.45)\,$Mpc and the essentially model independent extraction of $r_s\cdot H_0=\mbox{const}$ from low-$z$ data in arXiv:1607.05617 we obtain a good match with the value $H_0=(73.24\pm 1.74)\,$km\,s$^{-1}$\,Mpc$^{-1}$ extracted in arXiv:1604.01424 by appealing to Cepheid calibrated SNe~Ia, new parallax measurements, stronger constraints on the Hubble flow, and a refined computation of distance to NGC4258 from maser data. We briefly comment on a possible interpolation of our high-$z$ model, invoking percolated and unpercolated U(1) topological solitons of a Planck-scale axion field, to the phenomenologically successful low-$z$ $Λ$CDM cosmology.

A local and operational framework for the foundations of physics

description: We discuss a novel framework for physical theories that is based on the principles of locality and operationalism. It generalizes and unifies previous frameworks, including the standard formulation of quantum theory, the convex operational framework and Segal's approach to quantum field theory. It is capable of encoding both classical and quantum (field) theories, implements spacetime locality in a manifest way and contains the complete modern notion of measurement in the quantum case. Its mathematical content can be condensed into a set of axioms that are similar to those of Atiyah and Segal. This is supplemented by two basic rules for extracting probabilities or expectation values for measurement processes. The framework, called the positive formalism, is derived in three completely different ways. One derivation is from first principles, one starts with classical field theory and one with quantum field theory. The latter derivation arose previously in the programme of the general boundary formulation of quantum theory. As in the convex operational framework, the difference between classical and quantum theories essentially arises from certain partially ordered vector spaces being either lattices or anti-lattices. If we add the ad hoc ingredient of imposing anti-lattice structures, the derivation from first principles may be seen as a reconstruction of quantum theory. Among other things, the positive formalism suggests a statistical approach to classical field theories with dynamical metric, provides a common ground for quantum information theory and quantum field theory, introduces a notion of local measurement into quantum field theory, and suggests a new perspective on quantum gravity by removing the incompatibility with general relativistic principles.

description: We introduce a metasurface-based system for the microwave hyperthermia treatment of brain tumors, where the metasurface is designed by the time-reversal technique for optimal focusing at the location of the tumor. Compared to previous time-reversal microwave hyperthermia systems, which are based on antenna arrays, the proposed system offers two advantages: 1) it provides superior focal resolution, due to the finer sampling capability of its deeply-subwavelength metasurface particles compared to that of typical array antenna elements, 2) it features much lower complexity and cost, due to its direct illumination principle compared to the heavy feeding network of the array system. The system leverages reflecting metallic walls and a rich scattering structure in combination with the metasurface to achieve high hyperthermia performance with maximal simplicity. The metasurface system is demonstrated by full-wave simulation results, which show that it represents a viable novel noninvasive hyperthermia technology.

description: Metric graph properties lie in the heart of the analysis of complex networks, while in this paper we study their convexity through mathematical definition of a convex subgraph. A subgraph is convex if every geodesic path between the nodes of the subgraph lies entirely within the subgraph. According to our perception of convexity, convex network is such in which every connected subset of nodes induces a convex subgraph. We show that convexity is an inherent property of many networks that is not present in a random graph. Most convex are spatial infrastructure networks and social collaboration graphs due to their tree-like or clique-like structure, whereas the food web is the only network studied that is truly non-convex. Core-periphery networks are regionally convex as they can be divided into a non-convex core surrounded by a convex periphery. Random graphs, however, are only locally convex meaning that any connected subgraph of size smaller than the average geodesic distance between the nodes is almost certainly convex. We present different measures of network convexity and discuss its applications in the study of networks.

A branch-and-cut algorithm for submodular interdiction games

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)

description: Many relevant applications from diverse areas such as marketing, wildlife conservation, or defending critical infrastructure can be modeled as interdiction games. In this work, we introduce interdiction games whose objective is a monotone and submodular set function. Given a ground set of items, the leader interdicts the usage of some of the items of the follower in order to minimize the objective value achievable by the follower, who seeks to maximize a submodular set function over the uninterdicted items subject to knapsack constraints. We propose an exact branch-and-cut algorithm for these kind of interdiction games. The algorithm is based on interdiction cuts which allow to capture the follower's objective function value for a given interdiction decision of the leader and exploit the submodularity of the objective function. We also present extensions and liftings of these cuts and discuss additional preprocessing procedures. We test our solution framework on the weighted maximal covering interdiction game and the bipartite inference interdiction game. For both applications, the improved variants of our interdiction cut perform significantly better than its basic version. For the weighted maximal covering interdiction game for which a mixed-integer bilevel linear programming (MIBLP) formulation is available, we compare the results with those of a state-of-the-art MIBLP solver. While the MIBLP solver yields a minimum of 54% optimality gap within one hour, our best branch-and-cut setting solves all but 4 of 108 instances to optimality with a maximum of 3% gap among unsolved ones.

description: Recruitment and selection are essential tools in assisting the human resource managers and the entire company to hire the right people and retain them. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of recruitment and selection practices on organizational performance of United Bank S.C. Descriptive survey design was used for the study. Stratified and simple random sampling techniques were engaged to sample 292 participants (employees) and 86 customers of the organization were selected from a target population of 1,855 of and 474,482 respectively. The primary data was collected using standard questionnaires. Descriptive analysis involved the use of frequencies in their absolute and relative forms (percentage) whereas inferential statistics showed the nature and magnitude of relationships established between the recruitment and selection practice (independent variable) and organizational performance (dependent variables) using analysis to make inferences from the data collected to more generalized conditions. Mean and standard deviations were also be used as measures of central tendencies and dispersion respectively. Pearson Correlation were performed in inferential statistics Findings on the study, recruitment practices (r=.391** with p<0.05), Selection practices (r=.546 with p<0.001) have a high degree of positive relationship with organizational performance. These indicate there are slightly little but positive influence on the recruitment processes on the UB performances.

description: We use moment techniques to construct a converging hierarchy of optimization problems to lower bound the ground state energy of interacting particle systems. We approximate (from below) the infinite dimensional optimization problems in this hierarchy by block diagonal semidefinite programs. For this we develop the necessary harmonic analysis for spaces consisting of subsets of another space, and we develop symmetric sum-of-squares techniques. We numerically compute the second step of our hierarchy for Riesz s-energy problems with five particles on the 2-dimensional unit sphere, where the s=1 case is the Thomson problem. This yields new numerically sharp bounds (up to high precision) and suggests the second step of our hierarchy may be sharp throughout a phase transition and may be universally sharp for 5-particles on the unit sphere. This is the first time a 4-point bound has been computed for a problem in discrete geometry.

description: Nanoparticles are gaining interest as a tool to improve the delivery of anticancer drugs to tumours, while reducing side-effects at the same time. However, currently, only a small fraction of nanoparticles reaches the tumour, due to overexpression of certain components in the tumour microenvironment. Specifically, hyaluronan is identified as a major barrier in delivery and penetration of nanoparticles to tumours. This thesis therefore explores how enzymatic removal of hyaluronan with hyaluronidase can improve the delivery of nanoparticles to tumours with the purpose of increasing their anticancer activity.

description: A unification of characteristic mode decomposition for all method-of-moment formulations of field integral equations describing free-space scattering is derived. The work is based on an algebraic link between impedance and transition matrices, the latter of which was used in early definitions of characteristic modes and is uniquely defined for all scattering scenarios. This also makes it possible to extend the known application domain of characteristic mode decomposition to any other frequency-domain solver capable of generating transition matrices, such as finite difference or finite element methods. The formulation of characteristic modes using a transition matrix allows for the decomposition of induced currents and scattered fields from arbitrarily shaped objects, providing high numerical dynamics and increased stability, removing the issue of spurious modes, and offering good control of convergence. This first part of a two-part paper introduces the entire theory, extensively discusses its properties and offers its basic numerical validation.

Transportation inequalities for non-globally dissipative SDEs with jumps via Malliavin calculus and coupling

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)

description: By using the mirror coupling for solutions of SDEs driven by pure jump Lévy processes, we extend some transportation and concentration inequalities, which were previously known only in the case where the coefficients in the equation satisfy a global dissipativity condition. Furthermore, by using the mirror coupling for the jump part and the coupling by reflection for the Brownian part, we extend analogous results for jump diffusions. To this end, we improve some previous results concerning such couplings and show how to combine the jump and the Brownian case. As a crucial step in our proof, we develop a novel method of bounding Malliavin derivatives of solutions of SDEs with both jump and Gaussian noise, which involves the coupling technique and which might be of independent interest. The bounds we obtain are new even in the case of diffusions without jumps.

description: In this paper, we investigate the problem of a last-mile delivery service that selects up to $N$ available vehicles to deliver $M$ packages from a centralized depot to $M$ delivery locations. The objective of the last-mile delivery service is to jointly maximize customer satisfaction (minimize delivery time) and minimize operating cost (minimize total travel time) by selecting the optimal number of vehicles to perform the deliveries. We model this as an assignment (vehicles to packages) and path planning (determining the delivery order and route) problem, which is equivalent to the NP-hard multiple traveling salesperson problem. We propose a scalable heuristic algorithm, which sacrifices some optimality to achieve a reasonable computational cost for a high number of packages. The algorithm combines hierarchical clustering with a greedy search. To validate our approach, we compare the results of our simulation to experiments in a $1$:$25$ scale robotic testbed for future mobility systems.

description: The digital transformation of the medical sector requires solutions that are convenient and efficient for all stakeholders while protecting patients' sensitive data. One example that has already attracted design-oriented research are medical prescriptions. However, current implementations of electronic prescription management systems typically create centralized data silos, leaving user data vulnerable to cybersecurity incidents and impeding interoperability. Research has also proposed decentralized solutions based on blockchain technology, but privacy-related challenges have often been ignored. We conduct design science research to develop and implement a system for the exchange of electronic prescriptions that builds on two blockchains and a digital wallet app. Our solution combines the bilateral, verifiable, and privacy-focused exchange of information between doctors, patients, and pharmacies through verifiable credentials with a token-based, anonymized double-spending check. Our qualitative and quantitative evaluations as well as a security analysis suggest that this architecture can improve existing approaches to electronic prescription management by offering patients control over their data by design, a high level of security, sufficient performance and scalability, and interoperability with emerging digital identity management solutions for users, businesses, and institutions. We also derive principles on how to design decentralized, privacy-oriented information systems that require both the exchange of sensitive information and double-usage protection.

description: Studying the color superconductivity (CSC) phase is essential to understand the physics in the core of the neutron stars which is the only known context where the CSC phase might appear due to the gravitational force squeezing the matter to a sufficiently high density. We propose a simple holographic dual description of the CSC phase transition in the realistic Yang-Mills theory with the power-law Maxwell field. We find the CSC phase transition with the large color number in the deconfinement phase, which is not found in the case of the usual Maxwell field, if the power parameter characterizing for the power-law Maxwell field is sufficiently lower than one but above $1/2$ and the chemical potential is above a critical value. However, the power parameter is not arbitrary below one because when this parameter is sufficiently far away from one it leads to the occurrence of the CSC state in the confinement phase which is not compatible with a nonzero vacuum expectation value of the color nonsinglet operator.

description: In recent years, the field of adaptive video gaming has been growing rapidly. However, its acceptance as an integral service within the rehabilitation field has been slow to develop and no studies have examined the benefits of providing adaptive gaming services for individuals with disabilities. 110 participants with 6 months or more of adaptive gaming experience took part in a self-administered survey which comprised of questions assessing gaming habits, quality of life, and social relationships. Most participants either Agreed or Strongly Agreed that adaptive gaming has had a significant positive influence on their quality of life (90.9%), satisfaction with life (87.3%), and social relationships (67.2%). Two thirds of participants reported using their adaptive equipment for tasks other than gaming. Individuals who game more often, and with others, had significantly higher Social Relationship scores (p = 0.007; p = 0.044), and gaming frequency had a significant positive correlation with the overall influence of adaptive gaming (p = 0.002). There are possible quality of life and social benefits from participation in adaptive gaming, as well as translation to functional tasks. Furthermore, gaming more frequently, gaming with others, and using adaptive gaming equipment for other tasks seems to correlate with greater benefits from adaptive gaming.

Scale-free distribution of Dead Sea sinkholes--observations and modeling

description: There are currently more than 5500 sinkholes along the Dead Sea in Israel. These were formed due to the dissolution of subsurface salt layers as a result of the replacement of hypersaline groundwater by fresh brackish groundwater. This process has been associated with a sharp decline in the Dead Sea water level, currently more than one meter per year, resulting in a lower water table that has allowed the intrusion of fresher brackish water. We studied the distribution of the sinkhole sizes and found that it is scale-free with a power-law exponent close to 2. We constructed a stochastic cellular automata model to understand the observed scale-free behavior and the growth of the sinkhole area in time. The model consists of a lower salt layer and an upper soil layer in which cavities that develop in the lower layer lead to collapses in the upper layer. The model reproduces the observed power-law distribution without involving the threshold behavior commonly associated with criticality.

description: We propose a method for detection of energy levels of arbitrary spin system on a quantum computer based on studies of evolution of only one probe spin. On the basis of the proposed method energy levels of spin systems are found on IBM's quantum computer ibmq-bogota, among them are spin chain in magnetic field, triangle spin cluster, Ising model on squared lattice in magnetic field. The results of quantum calculations are in agreement with the theoretical ones. The method is efficient for estimation of the energy levels of many-spin systems and opens a possibility to achieve quantum supremacy in solving eigenvalue problem with development of multi-qubit quantum computers.
Scalar conformal primary fields in the Brownian loop soup

description: The Brownian loop soup is a conformally invariant statistical ensemble of random loops in two dimensions characterized by an intensity $λ>0$, with central charge $c=2 λ$. Recent progress resulted in an analytic form for the four-point function of a class of scalar conformal primary "layering vertex operators" $\mathcal{O}_β$ with dimensions $(Δ, Δ)$, with $Δ= \fracλ{10}(1-\cosβ)$, that compute certain statistical properties of the model. The Virasoro conformal block expansion of the four-point function revealed the existence of a new set of operators with dimensions $(Δ+ k/3, Δ+ k'/3)$, for all non-negative integers $k, k'$ satisfying $|k-k'| = 0$ mod 3. In this paper we introduce the edge counting field $\mathcal E(z)$ that counts the number of loop boundaries that pass close to the point $z$. We rigorously prove that the $n$-point functions of $\mathcal E$ are well defined and behave as expected for a conformal primary field with dimensions $(1/3, 1/3)$. We analytically compute the four-point function $\langle \mathcal{O}_β(z_1) \mathcal{O}_{-β}(z_2) \mathcal{E}(z_3) \mathcal{E}(z_4) \rangle$ and analyze its conformal block expansion. The operator product expansions of $\mathcal{E} \times \mathcal{E}$ and $\mathcal{E} \times \mathcal{O}_β$ produce higher-order edge operators with "charge" $β$ and dimensions $(Δ+ k/3, Δ+ k/3)$. Hence, we have explicitly identified all scalar primary operators among the new set mentioned above. We also re-compute the central charge by an independent method based on the operator product expansion and find agreement with previous methods.

description: Despite the benefits of assistive technology (AT), barriers to technology adoption still exist and are uniquely affecting older populations. Improving technology adoption can be achieved by involving end-users in the development and evaluation process. However, existing AT evaluation tools rarely take into account older adults’ experiences. The goal of this study was to fill this gap by determining which AT evaluation criteria are important for older adults. We conducted 4 nominal group meetings with 21 participants aged 50+ in Vancouver, Canada. In the meetings, participants generated AT evaluation criteria and organized them in the order of importance. The content from the meetings was analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Final rankings were collated to reveal which criteria were the most important across the groups. We found that promotion of independence, affordability, ease of use and ethics are the most important AT evaluation criteria for older adults. Some aspects of ATs that older adults value, such as reliability, are not featured in AT evaluation tools. This study provides insight into older adults’ priorities for AT evaluation criteria, and concerns that older adults have about AT use. The findings are supplemented with a comprehensive analysis of the group discussions that contextualizes the criteria.

description: This is the second component of a two-part paper dealing with a unification of characteristic mode decomposition. This second part addresses modal tracking and losses and presents several numerical examples for both surface- and volume-based method-of-moment formulations. A new tracking algorithm based on algebraic properties of the transition matrix is developed, achieving excellent precision and requiring a very low number of frequency samples as compared to procedures previously reported in the literature. The transition matrix is further utilized to show that characteristic mode decomposition of lossy objects fails to deliver orthogonal far fields and to demonstrate how characteristic modes can be evaluated using the finite element method.
