description: An open challenge problem at the forefront of modern neuroscience is to obtain a comprehensive mapping of the neural pathways that underlie human brain function; an enhanced understanding of the wiring diagram of the brain promises to lead to new breakthroughs in diagnosing and treating neurological disorders. Inferring brain structure from image data, such as that obtained via electron microscopy (EM), entails solving the problem of identifying biological structures in large data volumes. Synapses, which are a key communication structure in the brain, are particularly difficult to detect due to their small size and limited contrast. Prior work in automated synapse detection has relied upon time-intensive biological preparations (post-staining, isotropic slice thicknesses) in order to simplify the problem. This paper presents VESICLE, the first known approach designed for mammalian synapse detection in anisotropic, non-post-stained data. Our methods explicitly leverage biological context, and the results exceed existing synapse detection methods in terms of accuracy and scalability. We provide two different approaches - one a deep learning classifier (VESICLE-CNN) and one a lightweight Random Forest approach (VESICLE-RF) to offer alternatives in the performance-scalability space. Addressing this synapse detection challenge enables the analysis of high-throughput imaging data soon expected to reach petabytes of data, and provide tools for more rapid estimation of brain-graphs. Finally, to facilitate community efforts, we developed tools for large-scale object detection, and demonstrated this framework to find $\approx$ 50,000 synapses in 60,000 $μm ^3$ (220 GB on disk) of electron microscopy data.

description: Quantum communication theory explores the implications of quantum mechanics to the tasks of information transmission. Many physical channels can be formally described as quantum Gaussian operations acting on bosonic quantum states. Depending on the input state and on the quality of the channel, the output suffers certain amount of noise. For a long time it has been conjectured, but never proved, that output states of Gaussian channels corresponding to coherent input signals are the less noisy ones (in the sense of a majorization criterion). In this work we prove this conjecture. Specifically we show that every output state of a phase insensitive Gaussian channel is majorized by the output state corresponding to a coherent input. The proof is based on the optimality of coherent states for the minimization of strictly concave output functionals. Moreover we show that coherent states are the unique optimizers.

description: Quantifying predictive uncertainty of neural networks has recently attracted increasing attention. In this work, we focus on measuring uncertainty of graph neural networks (GNNs) for the task of node classification. Most existing GNNs model message passing among nodes. The messages are often deterministic. Questions naturally arise: Does there exist uncertainty in the messages? How could we propagate such uncertainty over a graph together with messages? To address these issues, we propose a Bayesian uncertainty propagation (BUP) method, which embeds GNNs in a Bayesian modeling framework, and models predictive uncertainty of node classification with Bayesian confidence of predictive probability and uncertainty of messages. Our method proposes a novel uncertainty propagation mechanism inspired by Gaussian models. Moreover, we present an uncertainty oriented loss for node classification that allows the GNNs to clearly integrate predictive uncertainty in learning procedure. Consequently, the training examples with large predictive uncertainty will be penalized. We demonstrate the BUP with respect to prediction reliability and out-of-distribution (OOD) predictions. The learned uncertainty is also analyzed in depth. The relations between uncertainty and graph topology, as well as predictive uncertainty in the OOD cases are investigated with extensive experiments. The empirical results with popular benchmark datasets demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed method.
Dynamics of a soccer ball

description: Exploiting the symmetry of the regular icosahedron, Peter Doyle and Curt McMullen constructed a solution to the quintic equation. Their algorithm relied on the dynamics of a certain icosahedral equivariant map for which the icosahedron's twenty face-centers--one of its special orbits--are superattracting periodic points. The current study considers the question of whether there are icosahedrally symmetric maps with superattracting periodic points at a 60-point orbit. The investigation leads to the discovery of two maps whose superattracting sets are configurations of points that are respectively related to a soccer ball and a companion structure. It concludes with a discussion of how a generic 60-point attractor provides for the extraction of all five of the quintic's roots.

description: In contrast to the traditional elastodynamic equations, a more comprehensive formulation of one dimensional (1D) elastodynamic equations is given for inhomogeneous media by using the coordinate transformation method. These modified equations consider the gradient of pre-stresses so that they are form-invariant and can retain time synchronization under spatial coordinate transformation, which comply with the principle of general invariance. A numerical example is conducted to compare the distributions of wave speeds calculated by the modified equations and the traditional equations. It demonstrates that the traditional equations are good approximations of the modified equations only when the wave frequency is sufficiently high.

We first solve the initial value problem for the geodesic equation of the combination metric, including the gradient metric. We then discuss a comparison theorem between it and the Calabi metric. As geometric motivation of the combination metric, we find that the Ebin metric restricted to the space of type II deformations of a Sasakian structure is the sum of the Calabi metric and the gradient metric.

description: The problem of finding sparse solutions to underdetermined systems of linear equations arises in several applications (e.g. signal and image processing, compressive sensing, statistical inference). A standard tool for dealing with sparse recovery is the $\ell_1$-regularized least-squares approach that has been recently attracting the attention of many researchers. In this paper, we describe an active set estimate (i.e. an estimate of the indices of the zero variables in the optimal solution) for the considered problem that tries to quickly identify as many active variables as possible at a given point, while guaranteeing that some approximate optimality conditions are satisfied. A relevant feature of the estimate is that it gives a significant reduction of the objective function when setting to zero all those variables estimated active. This enables to easily embed it into a given globally converging algorithmic framework. In particular, we include our estimate into a block coordinate descent algorithm for $\ell_1$-regularized least squares, analyze the convergence properties of this new active set method, and prove that its basic version converges with linear rate. Finally, we report some numerical results showing the effectiveness of the approach.

description: This paper deals with the old yet unsolved problem of defining and evaluating the stored electromagnetic energy - a quantity essential for calculating the quality factor, which reflects the intrinsic bandwidth of the considered electromagnetic system. A novel paradigm is proposed to determine the stored energy in the time domain leading to the method, which exhibits positive semi-definiteness and coordinate independence, i.e. two key properties actually not met by the contemporary approaches. The proposed technique is compared with two up-to-date frequency domain methods that are extensively used in practice. All three concepts are discussed and compared on the basis of examples of varying complexity, starting with lumped RLC circuits and finishing with realistic radiators.

Estimating the Propagation of Interdependent Cascading Outages with Multi-Type Branching Processes

description: In this paper, the multi-type branching process is applied to describe the statistics and interdependencies of line outages, the load shed, and isolated buses. The offspring mean matrix of the multi-type branching process is estimated by the Expectation Maximization (EM) algorithm and can quantify the extent of outage propagation. The joint distribution of two types of outages is estimated by the multi-type branching process via the Lagrange-Good inversion. The proposed model is tested with data generated by the AC OPA cascading simulations on the IEEE 118-bus system. The largest eigenvalues of the offspring mean matrix indicate that the system is closer to criticality when considering the interdependence of different types of outages. Compared with empirically estimating the joint distribution of the total outages, good estimate is obtained by using the multitype branching process with a much smaller number of cascades, thus greatly improving the efficiency. It is shown that the multitype branching process can effectively predict the distribution of the load shed and isolated buses and their conditional largest possible total outages even when there are no data of them.

title: Policies and perspectives on closing independent care homes for older people
Creators: name: Holder, Jacquetta Mary
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: The thesis presents research that investigated the process of closure of care homes for older people by independent sector providers. The care home closure process has received little policy attention and is under-researched. The study aimed to identify and review existing national and local policies and guidelines for voluntary independent closures, to better understand the process and consequences of such closures and to identify recommendations for good practice. The research comprised a survey of council guidelines and a qualitative study of closures. This focused on the activities, experiences and views of older people, their relatives and friends, care home staff and social services care managers. It is the first in-depth study to explore what happens from the perspective of those directly involved. Little process regulation or specific national guidance was found. However, around one-third of councils responded to enquiries and of these, two-thirds reported having guidelines. This suggests that a significant proportion of councils have none. The content of guidelines varied across councils and inconsistencies and differences were found in recommendations, including approaches towards providing community care needs assessments and views about councils’ ability to prolong closure periods by sending in council staff. Nine care home closures in five local authority areas were investigated. The research found variation with regard to the length and form of notice, provision of support, and needs assessment and financial support from councils. Falling standards of care during closures were reported and are highlighted as a particular concern, and self-funded residents without relatives identified as a particularly vulnerable group. A range of outcomes and consequences are identified along with structural and individual level influences. Good practice recommendations are presented and issues to consider in guidance and practice development discussed. The findings highlight a need for greater clarification of the responsibilities of councils and the regulator during voluntary closures. They also highlight room for improvement in areas of wider policy relevance, including the nature of state and councils’ involvement in the provision of good quality care homes, access to support, and complaints and protection.

Examining consumer motivations through cultural norms : a case study of the Tokyo DisneySea Duffy and Friends Products

Year: 2022
Subjects: Consumer motivation

description: Asian consumers are obsessed with the series of characters released by Tokyo DisneySea called “Duffy and Friends.” These characters are unique because they do not have a Disney movie series associated with them. This thesis examines this marketing phenomenon by studying consumers’ purchase motivation and how cultural differences impact the consumer journey. This research is guided by the main question: Can "Duffy and Friends" achieve the same level of success in the United States as they do in Asia without ties to a specific movie series? An in-depth literature review is presented to outline the cultural impacts of brands, character products, consumers, and purchase motivations. To answer the above question, an online survey and in-depth interviews were conducted. The studies found that culture plays an essential role in affecting consumers’ purchase motivation. Social acceptance is the motivation that leads to Asian consumers’ purchase behavior, while uniqueness motivates U.S. consumers more. Moreover, the emotional connection between consumers and characters is the foundation for character products. Other strategies such as scarcity and familiarity are also discussed as factors that impact the consumer decision process.

description: This is a preliminary and exploratory study of cranial variation in European populations of grayling. We investigated the correspondence between size/shape variation of the dorsal (DC), ventral (VC) and occipital (OC) cranium and phylogenetic relationships (inferred from mitochondrial control region – mtDNA CR and microsatellite DNA data) of six grayling populations: three from Balkan phylogenetic clade and two from Caspian phylogenetic clade of the European grayling Thymallus thymallus and one population of the Adriatic grayling Thymallus aeliani, which until recently was considered the Adriatic phylogenetic clade of T. thymallus. Significant size and shape differences were found between populations in all three cranial views. However, significant size-related shape variation (allometry) was found for DC and VC, but not for OC. The size variation of each cranial view does not contain phylogenetic signal, but size variation of OC is consistent with genetic variation inferred from microsatellite DNA. Regarding shape variation, a significant phylogenetic signal was detected only for OC, and only the shape variation of OC is consistent with the genetic variation inferred from the mtDNA CR. Moreover, the Adriatic grayling T. aeliani (Soča population) was clearly separated from the three T. thymallus populations of the Balkan phylogenetic clade and the two T. thymallus populations of the Caspian phylogenetic clade only at the level of OC. Thus, our results suggest that different cranial regions differ in allometry, reflect phylo(genetic) relationships differently, and exhibit differences in ecophenotypic plasticity, with OC seeming best suited to represent the phylogenetic relationships of the grayling populations studied.

description: In many applications, the training data, from which one needs to learn a classifier, is corrupted with label noise. Many standard algorithms such as SVM perform poorly in presence of label noise. In this paper we investigate the robustness of risk minimization to label noise. We prove a sufficient condition on a loss function for the risk minimization under that loss to be tolerant to uniform label noise. We show that the $0-1$ loss, sigmoid loss, ramp loss and probit loss satisfy this condition though none of the standard convex loss functions satisfy it. We also prove that, by choosing a sufficiently large value of a parameter in the loss function, the sigmoid loss, ramp loss and probit loss can be made tolerant to non-uniform label noise also if we can assume the classes to be separable under noise-free data distribution. Through extensive empirical studies, we show that risk minimization under the $0-1$ loss, the sigmoid loss and the ramp loss has much better robustness to label noise when compared to the SVM algorithm.
Generalizing the Kantorovich Metric to Projection-Valued Measures

description: Given a compact metric space $X$, the collection of Borel probability measures on $X$ can be made into a compact metric space via the Kantorovich metric. We partially generalize this well known result to projection-valued measures. In particular, given a Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$, we consider the collection of projection-valued measures from $X$ into the projections on $\mathcal{H}$. We show that this collection can be made into a complete and bounded metric space via a generalized Kantorovich metric. However, we add that this metric space is not compact, thereby identifying an important distinction from the classical setting. We have seen recently that this generalized metric has been previously defined by F. Werner in the setting of mathematical physics. To our knowledge, we develop new properties and applications of this metric. Indeed, we use the Contraction Mapping Theorem on this complete metric space of projection-valued measures to provide an alternative method for proving a fixed point result due to P. Jorgensen. This fixed point, which is a projection-valued measure, arises from an iterated function system on $X$, and is related to Cuntz Algebras.

description: Using Thomas-Fermi (TF) and Thomas-Fermi-Dirac (TFD) models, we have investigated the properties of electron gas inside two-dimensional (2D) Wigner-Seitz (WS) cells in presence of a strong orthogonal quantizing magnetic field. The electron-electron Coulomb exchange interaction in quasi-2D case is obtained. The exact form of exchange term in 2D is derived making the width of the system tending to zero. Further, using the exchange term, the Thomas-Fermi-Dirac equation in 2D is established. It has been observed that only the ionized WS cell can have finite radius in the Thomas-Fermi model, even in presence of a strong quantizing magnetic field. On the other hand, in the Thomas-Fermi-Dirac model a neutral WS cell can have finite radius.

description: We consider C^*-actions on Fukaya categories of exact symplectic manifolds. Such actions can be constructed by dimensional induction, going from the fibre of a Lefschetz fibration to its total space. We explore applications to the topology of Lagrangian submanifolds, with an emphasis on ease of computation.

Network-on-Chip Firewall: Countering Defective and Malicious System-on-Chip Hardware
Creators: name: LeMay, Michael

description: Mobile devices are in roles where the integrity and confidentiality of their apps and data are of paramount importance. They usually contain a System-on-Chip (SoC), which integrates microprocessors and peripheral Intellectual Property (IP) connected by a Network-on-Chip (NoC). Malicious IP or software could compromise critical data. Some types of attacks can be blocked by controlling data transfers on the NoC using Memory Management Units (MMUs) and other access control mechanisms. However, commodity processors do not provide strong assurances regarding the correctness of such mechanisms, and it is challenging to verify that all access control mechanisms in the system are correctly configured. We propose a NoC Firewall (NoCF) that provides a single locus of control and is amenable to formal analysis. We demonstrate an initial analysis of its ability to resist malformed NoC commands, which we believe is the first effort to detect vulnerabilities that arise from NoC protocol violations perpetrated by erroneous or malicious IP.

description: It is shown that the big free group (the set of countably-long words over a countable alphabet) is almost free, in the sense that any function from the alphabet to a compact topological group factors through a homomorphism. This statement is in fact a simple corollary of the more general result proven below on the extendability of homomorphisms from subgroups (of a certain kind) of the big free group to a compact topological group.

description: We present a new cycle flow based method for finding fuzzy partitions of weighted directed networks coming from time series data. We show that this method overcomes essential problems of most existing clustering approaches, which tend to ignore important directional information by considering only one-step, one-directional node connections. Our method introduces a novel measure of communication between nodes using multi-step, bidirectional transitions encoded by a cycle decomposition of the probability flow. Symmetric properties of this measure enable us to construct an undirected graph that captures information flow of the original graph seen by the data and apply clustering methods designed for undirected graphs. Finally, we demonstrate our algorithm by analyzing earthquake time series data, which naturally induce (time-)directed networks.

Year: 1989

description: The New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (BPU), Division of Energy Planning and Conservation (DEPC), has conducted a program to monitor home heating oil prices and refined product inventory in the State of New Jersey on a continuing basis since 1979. Each year, 100 of the 550 fuel oil dealers are selected at random throughout the state to provide a representative sample. These dealers are surveyed for price and inventory information on a monthly basis.This report will:quantify the extent of price escalation at the wholesale and retail levels, and discuss factors contributing to the price increase,evaluate the explanations and support offered by the major suppliers for the price increase,discuss the public concerns raised during this time,outline the conclusions of the preliminary investigation, andsuggest actions that can be taken by the state and federal governments to mitigate the effects of price escalations on consumers.

Estimate of SMBH Spin for Narrow-Line Seyfert 1 Galaxies

description: We estimated the spin values of the supermassive black holes (SMBHs) of the active galactic nuclei (AGN) for a large set of Narrow Line Seyfert 1 (NLS1) galaxies assuming the inclination angle between the line of sight and the axis of the accretion disk to be approximately 45 degrees. We found that for these objects the spin values are on average less than for the Seyfert 1 galaxies that we studied previously. In addition, we found that the dependencies of the spin on the bolometric luminosity and the SMBH mass are two to three times stronger that for Seyfert 1 galaxies, which could mean that at early stages of evolution NLS1 galaxies either have a low accretion rate or chaotic accretion, while at later stages they have standard disk accretion, which very effectively increases the spin value.

description: Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) from individual, dye-labeled RNA molecules confined in freely-diffusing attoliter-volume aqueous droplets is carefully compared to FRET from unconfined RNA in solution. The use of freely-diffusing droplets is a remarkably simple and high-throughput technique that facilitates a substantial increase in signal-to-noise for single-molecular-pair FRET measurements. We show that there can be dramatic differences between FRET in solution and in droplets, which we attribute primarily to an altered pH in the confining environment. We also demonstrate that a sufficient concentration of a non-ionic surfactant mitigates this effect and restores FRET to its neutral-pH solution value. At low surfactant levels, even accounting for pH, we observe differences between the distribution of FRET values in solution and in droplets which remain unexplained. Our results will facilitate the use of nanoemulsion droplets as attoliter volume reactors for use in biophysical and biochemical assays, and also in applications such as protein crystallization or nanoparticle synthesis, where careful attention to the pH of the confined phase is required.

description: Deep and drastic cuts of greenhouse gas emissions are urgently needed from all sectors of the global economy to avoid irreversible climate and ecological breakdown. The majority of transport decarbonization pathways rely on two parallel activities: (i) the electrification of the majority of modes of surface transport, including road and rail, and even short-distance shipping and aviation; and (ii) significant growth in renewable electricity generation. Making this work effectively will require the interaction of two previously siloed sectors: electricity and transport. This working paper explores how relevant stakeholders can support enabling environments for the integration of e-mobility and renewable energy in the Southeast Asian context, based on analyzed interviews with staff of energy and transport secretariats of the Asian Development Bank and United Nations Environment Programme.

description: The quantum correlation of octave-spanning time-energy entangled bi-photons can be as short as a single optical cycle. Many experiments designed to explore and exploit this correlation require a uniform spectral phase (transform-limited) with very low loss. So far, transform-limited single-cycle bi-photons were not demonstrated, primarily due to lack of precision control of the spectral phase. Here, we demonstrate precise correction of the spectral-phase of near-octave bi-photons to less than ($
