description: Em ambientes fechados, onde ocorre a aglomeração de pessoas para propósitos gerais, há sempre a possibilidade de que seja necessária uma evacuação emergencial de modo a preservar a vida de todos. Diante desta situação, simulações que reproduzem a dinâmica populacional em situação de risco, baseadas em Autômatos Celulares (ACs), são muito utilizadas atualmente devido a influência que podem ter no projeto de segurança predial. Um AC é formado por um reticulado de d dimensões, dividido em células, sendo que cada célula C, por sua vez, apresenta um estado. De acordo com uma regra de transição, todas as células modificam seus estados a cada passo de iteração. Ao aplicar a regra de transição por T passos de tempo, podemos obter a evolução espaço-temporal do reticulado do AC. Deste modo, o presente projeto consiste no estudo e implementação dos principais modelos descritos que focam no uso de ACs para a evacuação de pedestres e propor um novo modelo baseado nos anteriores. A partir da leitura dos principais artigos sobre evacuação de pedestres usando autômatos celulares, implementou-se o modelo descrito em Varas et al. (2007) e Alizadeh (2011), usando-se a linguagem de programação C. Em seguida, mecanismos para focos de incêndio, presença de feromônio e para impedir movimentação com cruzamento perpendicular foram adicionados. Posteriormente serão realizados ajustes para refinar o modelo por meio de testes exaustivos, dentre eles: variação do tamanho das saídas, da quantidade de saídas, da quantidade de pedestres, etc. A partir das primeiras simulações feitas utilizando-se o modelo-base de Varas (2007) e Alizadeh (2011), foi possível notar que os pedestres formam filas próximas às saídas, devido ao gargalo do sistema e a concentração de congestionamento nestes locais.

description: We propose a limited class of models, describing interacting chiral multiplets with a non-minimal coupling to a vector multiplet, in curved superspace of $N=1$ supergravity. Those models are suitable for the inflationary model building in supergravity with inflaton assigned to a massive vector multiplet and spontaneous SUSY breaking in Minkowski vacuum after inflation, for any values of the inflationary parameters $n_s$ and $r$, and any scale of SUSY breaking.

description: We present a study of the isospin-violating one-pion strong decays of single heavy tetraquarks $X_Q = X(s q \bar q \bar Q)$, $Q=c, b$, and $q=u, d$ with spin-parity $J^P = 0^+$. We assume that the tetraquarks have the configuration of a color diquark and a antidiquark. Three mechanisms of isospin violation can contribute to the decay rate: (1) mixing of the $X(s u \bar u \bar Q)$ and $X(s d \bar d \bar Q)$ tetraquark currents, (2) an explicit $m_d-m_u$ quark mass difference in the quark diagrams describing the corresponding decay transitions and (3) $π^0-η$ mixing in the final state. Our main results are: (1) It is quite likely that the investigated tetraquark states are isosinglet states with a small admixture of an isotriplet component; (2) The first isospin-breaking mechanism affects the decay rater more significantly than the others; (3) Our calculations contain a size parameter $Λ_{X_Q}$, characterizing the distribution of the quarks in the tetraquark state $X_Q$. Absolute decay rates depend very much on the choice of $Λ_{X_Q}$, varied from 1 to 2 GeV, reflecting the compactness of the multiquark system.

Large negative transconductance in multilayer graphene: The role of intersubband scattering

description: We calculate the transport properties of multilayer graphene, considering the effect of multisubband scattering in a high density regime, where higher subbands are occupied by charge carriers. To calculate the conductivity of multilayer graphene, we use the coupled multiband Boltzmann transport theory while fully incorporating the multiband scattering effects. We show that the allowed scattering channels, screening effects, chiral nature of the electronic structure, and type of impurity scatterings determine the transport behavior of multilayer graphene. We find that the conductivity of multilayer graphene shows a sudden change when the carriers begin to occupy the higher subbands, and therefore a large negative transconductance (NTC) appears as the carrier density varies. These phenomena arise mostly from the intersubband scattering and the change in the density of states at the band touching density. Based on our results, it is possible to build novel devices utilizing the large NTC in multilayer graphene.

description: A presente pesquisa visou abordar temas importantes e atuais ao que se refere às novas tecnologias para a educação. Tendo em vista que a educação convencional passou a utilizar essas novas tecnologias, o seguinte estudo tem como objetivo mostrar como a utilização desses sistemas podem trazer benefícios quando incorporado nas instituições de ensino. As Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação (TICs) trazem o conceito de proporcionar meios para que a informação seja compartilhada facilitando a educação. A forma mais expressiva na atualidade de TICs, é o Ensino a Distância (EaD), que possibilita a milhares de pessoas ingressar no ensino técnico, superior e pós-graduação sem a necessidade de ir à instituição. Entretanto, como já mencionado posteriormente, ao utilizar um Sistema Híbrido, que se trata da junção dos ambientes de ensino convencionais com as Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação, e auxílio dos Ambientes Virtuais de Aprendizagem (AVA), como a plataforma do Google Classroom-utilizada neste trabalho como ambiente para a pesquisa-a interação entre o computador e o aluno passou a facilitar a busca pelo conhecimento estimulando e motivando a aprendizagem inclusive na educação convencional. A metodologia da pesquisa, baseou-se na opinião dos alunos do Instituto Federal de Educação Ciência e Tecnologia (IFTM)-Campus Patrocínio, que através de um questionário avaliaram a viabilidade da Plataforma Google Classroom quando comparada à plataforma Virtual-IF, desenvolvida pela própria instituição. Mediante a resposta dos pesquisados e utilizando a Mineração de Dados através pela ferramenta Weka, foi possível concluir, dentre outras, que a plataforma Google Classroom teve aceitação positiva por maior parte dos pesquisados.

description: For primordial perturbations, deviations from Gaussian statistics on the tail of the probability distribution can be associated with non-perturbative effects of inflation. In this paper, we present some particular examples in which the tail of the distribution becomes highly non-Gaussian although the statistics remains almost Gaussian in the perturbative regime. We begin with an extension of the ultra-slow-roll inflation that incorporates a transition process, where the inflaton climbs up a tiny potential step at the end of the non-attractor stage before it converges to the slow-roll attractor. Through this example, we identify the key role of the off-attractor behaviour for the upward-step transition, and then extend the analysis to another type of the transition with two slow-roll stages connected by a tiny step. We perform both the perturbative and non-perturbative analyses of primordial fluctuations generated around the step in detail, and show that the tiny but nontrivial transition may affect large perturbations in the tail of the distribution, while the perturbative non-Gaussianity remains small. Our result indicates that the non-Gaussian tails can have rich phenomenology which has been overlooked in conventional analyses. We also study the implications of this non-Gaussian tail for the formation of primordial black holes, and find that their mass fraction can be parametrically amplified by several orders of magnitudes in comparison with the case of the Gaussian distribution. Additionally, we also discuss a mechanism of primordial black holes formation for this upward step inflation model by trapping the inflaton in the bottom of the step.

Comparing numerical and analytical approaches to strongly interacting two-component mixtures in one dimensional traps

description: We investigate one-dimensional harmonically trapped two-component systems for repulsive interaction strengths ranging from the non-interacting to the strongly interacting regime for Fermi-Fermi mixtures. A new and powerful mapping between the interaction strength parameters from a continuous Hamiltonian and a discrete lattice Hamiltonian is derived. As an example, we show that this mapping does not depend neither on the state of the system nor on the number of particles. Energies, density profiles and correlation functions are obtained both numerically (DMRG and Exact diagonalization) and analytically. Since DMRG results do not converge as the interaction strength is increased, analytical solutions are used as a benchmark to identify the point where these calculations become unstable. We use the proposed mapping to set a quantitative limit on the interaction parameter of a discrete lattice Hamiltonian above which DMRG gives unrealistic results.

description: Deep-learning (DL) compilers such as TVM and TensorRT are increasingly being used to optimize deep neural network (DNN) models to meet performance, resource utilization and other requirements. Bugs in these compilers can result in models whose semantics differ from the original ones, producing incorrect results that corrupt the correctness of downstream applications. However, finding bugs in these compilers is challenging due to their complexity. In this work, we propose a new fuzz testing approach for finding bugs in deep-learning compilers. Our core approach consists of (i) generating diverse yet valid DNN test models that can exercise a large part of the compiler's transformation logic using light-weight operator specifications; (ii) performing gradient-based search to find model inputs that avoid any floating-point exceptional values during model execution, reducing the chance of missed bugs or false alarms; and (iii) using differential testing to identify bugs. We implemented this approach in NNSmith which has found 72 new bugs for TVM, TensorRT, ONNXRuntime, and PyTorch to date. Of these 58 have been confirmed and 51 have been fixed by their respective project maintainers.

description: Diabetes mellitus is one of the risk factors in the development of vascular complications. Decreased nitric oxide (NO) production and increased lipid peroxidation in diabetes mellitus are the dominant exaggerating factors. Mormodica charantia (MC) was proven to be useful in improving diabetes mellitus and its complications. In the present study, a total of 40 male Sprague-Dawley rats were used. Diabetes was induced by a single dose (50 mg/kg) of streptozotocin (STZ), intramuscularly. Following 4 weeks of STZ induction, the animals were equally divided into five groups (n = 8); Control group (Ctrl), control group treated with MC (Ctrl-MC), diabetic untreated group (DM-Ctrl), diabetic group treated with MC (DM-MC) and diabetic group treated with metformin 150 g/kg (DM-Met). Oral administration of the MC fruit extract (1.5 g/kg) was continued for 28 days. DM-MC group showed a significant decrease (P < 0.05) in blood pressure, total cholesterol and triglyceride levels compared to the DM-Ctrl group. Aortic tissue NO level was significantly increased and malondialdehyde level was decreased in the DM-MC group. Immunohistochemical staining showed an increase in eNOS expression in the endothelial lining of the DM-MC group. Similarly, morphological deterioration of the aortic tissues was reverted to normal. In summary, treatment with the MC fruit extract exerted the significant vasculoprotective effect in the type 1 diabetic rat model.

Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2018

description: The financial system plays a pivotal role in economic activities in any country. Thus it is vital to determine the status and assess the financial health of the financial system and take corrective policy measures continuously. The main objective of the study is to examine the effect of bank regulation on the performance of private commercial banks. The study used balanced panel model in examining the regression model and collect data from ten private commercial banks covering the period of six (6) consecutive years, 2011-2016with a total of 60 observations. To this end, the study employed a quantitative research approach by documentary analysis based on their audited financial statement. The study used panel data techniques specifically fixed effect model on the regression analysis and used E-view8 software. The study used two dependent variables return on asset (ROA) and return on equity (ROE), six independent variables that are NBE bill purchase, legal reserve requirement, equity investment, capital requirement, capital adequacy and bank size. The findings of the study for ROA model revealed that NBE Bill Purchase and Legal reserve requirement have negative and significant effect on performance of private commercial bank in Ethiopia, where as equity investment, capital requirement, bank size and capital adequacy are positive and significant effect on performance of private commercial bank in Ethiopia. The regression result of the second performance indicator ROE model revealed that NBE Bill Purchase and Legal reserve requirement have negative and significant effect on performance of private commercial bank in Ethiopia, where as equity investment, capital requirement, bank size and capital adequacy are positive and significant effect on performance of private commercial bank in Ethiopia. The research concluded that NBE regulation has significant effect on the performance of Ethiopian private commercial banks. Hence, the study recommend in support of each variables for Ethiopian private commercial banks to give due attention on NBE regulation to enhance their performance significantly.

description: A measurement of the $t$-channel single-top-quark and single-top-antiquark production cross-sections in the lepton+je ts channel is presented, using 3.2 fb$^{-1}$ of proton--proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV, recorded with the ATLAS detector at the LHC in 2015. Events are selected by requiring one charged lepton (electron or muon), missing transverse momentum, and two jets with high transverse momentum, exactly one of which is required to be $b$-tagged. Using a binned maximum-likelihood fit to the discriminant distribution of a neural network, the cross-sections are determined to be $σ(tq) = 156 \pm 5 \, (\mathrm{stat.}) \pm 27 \, (\mathrm{syst.}) \pm 3\,(\mathrm{lumi.})$ pb for single top-quark production and $σ(\bar{t}q) = 91 \pm 4 \, (\mathrm{stat.}) \pm 18 \, (\mathrm{syst.}) \pm 2\,(\mathrm{lumi.})$ pb for single top-antiquark production, assuming a top-quark mass of 172.5 GeV. The cross-section ratio is measured to be $R_t = σ(tq)/σ(\bar{t}q) = 1.72 \pm 0.09 \, (\mathrm{stat.}) \pm 0.18 \, (\mathrm{syst.})$.

description: Tidal effects have an important impact on the late inspiral of compact binary systems containing neutron stars. Most current models of tidal deformations of neutron stars assume that the tidal bulge is directly related to the tidal field generated by the companion, with a constant response coefficient. However, if the orbital motion approaches a resonance with one of the internal modes of the neutron star, this adiabatic description of tidal effects starts to break down, and the tides become dynamical. In this paper, we consider dynamical tides in general relativity due to the quadrupolar fundamental oscillation mode of a neutron star. We devise a description of the effects of the neutron star's finite size on the orbital dynamics based on an effective point-particle action augmented by dynamical quadrupolar degrees of freedom. We analyze the post-Newtonian and test-particle approximations of this model and incorporate the results into an effective-one-body Hamiltonian. This enables us to extend the description of dynamical tides over the entire inspiral. We demonstrate that dynamical tides give a significant enhancement of matter effects compared to adiabatic tides, at least for neutron stars with large radii and for low mass-ratio systems, and should therefore be included in accurate models for gravitational-wave data analysis.

description: We study 147 star clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) in order to determine their mean metallicities and ages, as well as the mean metallicities of 80 surrounding fields. We construct an age-metallicity relation (AMR) for the clusters in the LMC. For this purpose, we used Strömgren photometry obtained with the SOI camera on the 4.1 m SOAR telescope. We found the mean metallicity and age for 110 star clusters. For the remaining 37, we provide an age estimation only. To the best of our knowledge, for 29 clusters from our sample, we provide both the metallicity and age for the first time, whereas for 66 clusters, we provide a first determination of the metallicity, and for 43 clusters, the first estimation of the age. We also calculated the mean metallicities for stars from 80 fields around the clusters. The old, metal-poor star clusters occur both in and out of the LMC bar region, while intermediate-age clusters are located mostly outside of the bar. The majority of star clusters younger than 1 Gyr are located in the bar region. We find a good agreement between our AMR and theoretical models of the LMC chemical enrichment, as well as with AMRs for clusters from the literature. Next, we took advantage of 26 stellar clusters from our sample which host Cepheid variables and used them as an independent check of the correctness of our age determination procedure. We used period-age relations for Cepheids to calculate the mean age of a given cluster and compared it with the age obtained from isochrone fitting. We find good agreement between these ages, especially for models taking into account additional physical processes (e.g., rotation). We also compared the AMR of the LMC and Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) derived in a uniform way and we note that they indicate possible former interaction between these two galaxies.

description: Controle inteligente de um time de robôs baseado em autômatos celulares bidimensionais estocásticos para busca e resgateO presente projeto de pesquisa se embasa em autômatos celulares aplicados à robótica de enxames. Os autômatos celulares (ACs) são modelos matemáticos computacionais de tal forma possuem um reticulado dividido em células e cada célula apresenta um estado. Além disso, os autômatos celulares possuem regras de transição que servem para a evolução para frente de um AC emergindo em um comportamento global. Esse tipo de comportamento pode ser aplicado em diversas situações que vão desde a simulação de fenômenos físicos ou biológicos. Eles também são utilizados como ferramenta para possibilitar a aprendizagem de fenômenos naturais. O objetivo principal do projeto é a inovação tecnológica por intermédio da Inteligência Artificial com foco na robótica no âmbito de busca e resgate. No início das atividades foram realizadas pesquisas e leituras de artigos científicos sobre aplicações de autômatos celulares baseando-se em um modelo com fero54mônio repulsivo inspirado em um enxame de formigas para a tarefa de vigilância, em seguida após realizadas as pesquisas e compreensão das regras de autômatos celulares, foi iniciado o desenvolvimento de um ambiente de simulação utilizando linguagem de programação C padrão, com o intuito de aplicar as regras de autômatos celulares e compreender de forma virtual para fins da aplicação real. Futuramente após o desenvolvimento e compreensão do ambiente de simulação, será realizada a prototipagem do robô, assim transferindo o aprendizado e técnicas obtidas na simulação para a robótica. Palavras-chave: Autômato celular, criptografia, otimização de cifragem, segurança da informação, teoria do caos.

description: Animal manure provides crop nutrients and improves soil quality. However, manure’s nutrient variability and low phosphorus and nitrogen content per unit weight reduce its market value relative to chemical fertilizers. While manure remains an important source of fertilizer in many farming systems, alternative uses are becoming important. Manure can be used to generate renewable energy in the forms of heat, gas, and electricity with further processing, but innovation is required to compete against other renewable and nonrenewable energy sources. Entrepreneurs are also developing markets for fiber found in manure. Environmental policies related to animal farms, meant to protect air and water quality, can both raise manure management costs and increase manure’s value as an energy precursor. This study uses data from the USDA Agricultural Resource Management Survey (ARMS) to describe current manure production, handling, storage, and use. An extensive literature review of manure-related research describes existing and emerging technologies that have the potential to increase the value of manure or reduce manure management costs. The study identifies potential government programs and policies for promoting the adoption of technologies that enhance manure value for farmers.

description: We present study of the complex event consisting of several solar wind transients detected by Advanced Composition Explorer (ACE) on 4 -- 7 August 2011, that caused a geomagnetic storm with Dst$=-$110 nT. The supposed coronal sources -- three flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) occurred on 2 -- 4 August 2011 in the active region (AR) 11261. To investigate the solar origin and formation of these transients we studied kinematic and thermodynamic properties of the expanding coronal structures using the Solar Dynamics Observatory/Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (SDO/AIA) EUV images and the differential emission measure (DEM) diagnostics. The Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) magnetic field maps were used as the input data for the 3D magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) model to describe the flux rope ejection. We characterize the early phase of the flux rope ejection in the corona, where the usual three-component CME structure formed. The flux rope ejected with a speed of about 200~km~s$^{-1}$ to the height of 0.25~R$_{\odot}$. The kinematics of the modeled CME front agrees well with the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory (STEREO) EUV measurements. Using the results of the plasma diagnostics and MHD modeling, we calculated the ion charge ratios of carbon and oxygen as well as the mean charge state of iron ions of the 2 August 2011 CME, taking into account the processes of heating, cooling, expansion, ionization, and recombination of the moving plasma in the corona up to the frozen-in region. We estimated a probable heating rate of the CME plasma in the low corona by matching the calculated ion composition parameters of the CME with those measured in situ for the solar wind transients. We also consider the similarities and discrepancies between the results of the MHD simulation and the observations.
