High Nature Value Forests identification: A case study in Apulia region – Italy
Creators: name: Petrontino, Alessandro
name: Fucilli, Vincenzo
Publisher: name: Aestimum
Year: 2013

description: The strengthening of environmental compliance and the introduction of new challenges in rural development policy have led to a wide shift of resources toward specific objectives, concerning the conservation of particular areas identified as High Nature Value Farmlands/Forests (HNVF). These areas represent important elements of rural strategies due to their ability to allow both biodiversity and economic development. The aim of the research is to create an analysis frame, with Multi Criteria Analysis method and GIS elaboration, in order to identify forests that meet the HNV concept. The analysis examines also several aspects related to the multifunctional role of forests and the effect that different contextual factors might have on it. The research provide a support in terms of implementation and resource distribution of the Rural Development Programme in a field where the main efforts have been yet spent on agriculture, leaving forestry behind.

Improved Parameterized Complexity of Happy Set Problems

Subjects: subject: Data Structures and Algorithms (cs.DS)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We present fixed-parameter tractable (FPT) algorithms for two problems, Maximum Happy Set (MaxHS) and Maximum Edge Happy Set (MaxEHS)--also known as Densest k-Subgraph. Given a graph $G$ and an integer $k$, MaxHS asks for a set $S$ of $k$ vertices such that the number of $\textit{happy vertices}$ with respect to $S$ is maximized, where a vertex $v$ is happy if $v$ and all its neighbors are in $S$. We show that MaxHS can be solved in time $\mathcal{O}\left(2^\textsf{mw} \cdot \textsf{mw} \cdot k^2 \cdot |V(G)|\right)$ and $\mathcal{O}\left(8^\textsf{cw} \cdot k^2 \cdot |V(G)|\right)$, where $\textsf{mw}$ and $\textsf{cw}$ denote the $\textit{modular-width}$ and the $\textit{clique-width}$ of $G$, respectively. This resolves the open questions posed in literature. The MaxEHS problem is an edge-variant of MaxHS, where we maximize the number of $\textit{happy edges}$, the edges whose endpoints are in $S$. In this paper we show that MaxEHS can be solved in time $f(\textsf{nd})\cdot|V(G)|^{\mathcal{O}(1)}$ and $\mathcal{O}\left(2^{\textsf{cd}}\cdot k^2 \cdot |V(G)|\right)$, where $\textsf{nd}$ and $\textsf{cd}$ denote the $\textit{neighborhood diversity}$ and the $\textit{cluster deletion number}$ of $G$, respectively, and $f$ is some computable function. This result implies that MaxEHS is also fixed-parameter tractable by $\textit{twin cover number}$.

description: We perform a numerical comparison between the fuzzy dark matter model and the cold dark matter model, focusing on formation of satellite galaxy planes around massive galaxies. Such galactic dynamics with controlled initial subhalo configurations are investigated using GADGET2 for the cold dark matter and PyUltraLight for the fuzzy dark matter, respectively. We demonstrate that satellite galaxies in the fuzzy dark matter side have a tendency to form more flattened and corotating satellite systems than in the cold dark matter side mainly due to the dissipation by the gravitational cooling effect of the fuzzy dark matter. Our simulations with the fuzzy dark matter typically show the minor-to-major axis ratio $c/a$ of the satellite galaxy planes to be $0.21 \sim 0.30$; This well matches the current observed value for the Milky Way.

mvHOTA: A multi-view higher order tracking accuracy metric to measure spatial and temporal associations in multi-point detection

description: Multi-point tracking is a challenging task that involves detecting points in the scene and tracking them across a sequence of frames. Computing detection-based measures like the F-measure on a frame-by-frame basis is not sufficient to assess the overall performance, as it does not interpret performance in the temporal domain. The main evaluation metric available comes from Multi-object tracking (MOT) methods to benchmark performance on datasets such as KITTI with the recently proposed higher order tracking accuracy (HOTA) metric, which is capable of providing a better description of the performance over metrics such as MOTA, DetA, and IDF1. While the HOTA metric takes into account temporal associations, it does not provide a tailored means to analyse the spatial associations of a dataset in a multi-camera setup. Moreover, there are differences in evaluating the detection task for points when compared to objects (point distances vs. bounding box overlap). Therefore in this work, we propose a multi-view higher order tracking metric (mvHOTA) to determine the accuracy of multi-point (multi-instance and multi-class) tracking methods, while taking into account temporal and spatial associations.mvHOTA can be interpreted as the geometric mean of detection, temporal, and spatial associations, thereby providing equal weighting to each of the factors. We demonstrate the use of this metric to evaluate the tracking performance on an endoscopic point detection dataset from a previously organised surgical data science challenge. Furthermore, we compare with other adjusted MOT metrics for this use-case, discuss the properties of mvHOTA, and show how the proposed multi-view Association and the Occlusion index (OI) facilitate analysis of methods with respect to handling of occlusions. The code is available at https://github.com/Cardio-AI/mvhota.

description: Driven by the availability of modern software and hardware, Bayesian analysis is becoming more popular in neutron and X-ray reflectometry analysis. The understandability and replicability of these analyses may be harmed by inconsistencies in how the probability distributions central to Bayesian methods are represented in the literature. Herein, we provide advice on how to report the results of Bayesian analysis as applied to neutron and X-ray reflectometry. This includes the clear reporting of initial starting conditions, the prior probabilities, and results of any analysis, and the posterior probabilities that are the Bayesian equivalent of the error bar, to enable replicability and improve understanding. We believe that this advice, grounded in our experience working in the field, will enable greater analytical reproducibility among the reflectometry community, as well as improve the quality and usability of results.

description: The GRACE Follow-On satellites carry the very first inter-spacecraft Laser Ranging Interferometer (LRI). After more than four years in orbit, the LRI outperforms the sensitivity of the conventional Microwave Instrument (MWI). However, in the current data processing scheme, the LRI product still needs the MWI data to determine the unknown absolute laser frequency, representing the ruler for converting the raw phase measurements into a physical displacement in meters. In this paper, we derive formulas for precisely performing that conversion from the phase measurement into a range, accounting for a varying carrier frequency. Furthermore, the dominant errors due to knowledge uncertainty of the carrier frequency as well as uncorrected time biases are derived. In the second part, we address the dependency of the LRI on the MWI in the currently employed cross-calibration scheme and present three different models for the LRI laser frequency, two of which are largely independent of the MWI. Furthermore, we analyze the contribution of thermal variations on the scale factor estimates and the LRI-MWI residuals. A linear model called Thermal Coupling (TC) is derived that significantly reduces the differences between LRI and MWI to a level where the MWI observations limit the comparison.

Our theory incorporates self-interaction of the optically-driven atom and its coupling to electromagnetic vacuum modes, both of which are sensitive to the electrically-tunable interband transition threshold in graphene. We show that electro-optical bistability and hysteresis can manifest in the intensity, spectrum, and quantum statistics of the light emitted by the atom, which undergoes critical slow-down to steady-state. The optically-driven atom-graphene interaction constitutes a platform for active control of driven atomic systems in quantum coherent control and atomic physics.

We will test if the individual, cumulative and interactive effects of the different types of global change explain the heterogeneous patterns of population and biodiversity change observed across the planet.

description: In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic structure of gauge theories in decelerating and spatially flat Friedmann-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker universes. Firstly, we thoroughly explore the asymptotic symmetries of electrodynamics in this background, which reveals a major inconsistency already present in the flat case. Taking advantage of this treatment, we derive the associated memory effects, discussing their regime of validity and differences with respect to their flat counterparts. Next, we extend our analysis to non-Abelian Yang-Mills, coupling it dynamically and simultaneously to a Dirac spinor and a complex scalar field. Within this novel setting, we examine the possibility of constructing Poisson superbrackets based on the covariant phase space formalism.

description: The accuracy of the free-surface lattice Boltzmann method (FSLBM) depends significantly on the boundary condition employed at the free interface. Ideally, the chosen boundary condition balances the forces exerted by the liquid and gas pressure. Different variants of the same boundary condition are possible, depending on the number and choice of the particle distribution functions (PDFs) to which it is applied. This study analyzes and compares four variants, in which (i) the boundary condition is applied to all PDFs oriented in the opposite direction of the free interface's normal vector, including or (ii) excluding the central PDF. While these variants overwrite existing information, the boundary condition can also be applied (iii) to only missing PDFs without dropping available data or (iv) to only missing PDFs but at least three PDFs as suggested in the literature. It is shown that neither variant generally balances the forces exerted by the liquid and gas pressure at the free surface. The four variants' accuracy was compared in five different numerical experiments covering various applications. These include a standing gravity wave, a rectangular and cylindrical dam break, a rising Taylor bubble, and a droplet impacting a thin pool of liquid. Overall, variant (iii) was substantially more accurate than the other variants in the numerical experiments performed in this study.

description: Background: Much knowledge has been accumulated on individual-level risks and protective factors of violence against women. However, the influence of factors operating at the community level, such as community cohesion, remains unclear, especially in low- and middle-income countries. This study examined whether community cohesion, a combined measure of mutual trust and tolerance, affects women’s likelihood of experiencing intimate partner violence, violence perpetrated by a family member, and violence occurring in public spaces.Methods: Data on 4785 women aged between 18 and 60years in Ghana, Pakistan, and South Sudan, initially collected by the ‘What Works to Prevent Violence Against Women and Girls’ Research and Innovation Programme, were used for this study. Binary logistic regression analyses were used to assess the association between a composite measure of community cohesion and recent experience of physical, sexual, and psychological violence while controlling for different individual-, community-, and state-level variables.Results: Multivariate analyses revealed that community cohesion was associated with lower risks of public spaces violence (adjusted odds ratio=0.396, 95% confidence interval=0.312–0.503, P<0.001) and family member violence (adjusted odds ratio=0.839, 95% confidence interval=0.754–0.934, P<0.001). There was no statistically significant association between intimate partner violence and community cohesion, but adjusted models showed that women with more developed social networks were at higher risks of experiencing intimate partner violence (adjusted odds ratio=1.104, 95% confidence interval=1.062–1.148, P<0.001).Conclusion: Our findings suggest that community cohesion may have a protective effect against the most visible forms of violence against women. However, this effect may be attenuated or even eliminated by other individual- or household-level mechanisms in the case of violence between intimates or family members.

By exploiting this approach, we study an approximate analytic spontaneous magnetization expression for the face-centered-cubic Ising lattice. We report that the results of the analytic relation obtained in this work are nearly consistent with those derived from the Monte Carlo simulation.

Engendering the Overman: On Woman and Nihilism in Nietzsche

description: This thesis examines the role of woman within Nietzsche’s late-middle period, through The Gay Science and Thus Spoke Zarathustra, as well as interrogating the more social or political elements of nihilism, in order to conceptualize a novel reading of Nietzsche’s figure of the Overman. The motivation for this project is to create an understanding of the Overman that stands in stark contrast to those interpretations of Nietzsche advanced and deployed by those on the far-right of the political spectrum, who historically have used Nietzsche’s ideas to justify acts of cruelty and violence through an appeal to preservation of the self and of the same. I begin with the idea that woman is representative of truth for Nietzsche through her embodiment of difference, both internal to herself and within her relationship to man. This view of woman within the thesis is led by the work of Luce Irigaray in her work Marine Lover of Friedrich Nietzsche, and a reading of her work alongside Nietzsche’s Gay Science comprise the first chapter. In the second chapter, I chart different typologies of nihilism as advanced by Gilles Deleuze and Alenka Zupančič in order to probe their status as “universal”. I also delve into the eternal return as the process through which nihilism is overcome and the Overman emerges, as perhaps an eternal return of the different rather than the same. In the final chapter, the lessons from the beginning of the thesis are applied to a reading of Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra in order to read difference into that text toward the overcoming of nihilism and the birth of the Overman.

Holographic entanglement entropy inequalities beyond strong subadditivity

description: The vacuum entanglement entropy in quantum field theory provides nonperturbative information about renormalization group flows. Most studies so far have focused on the universal terms, related to the Weyl anomaly in even space-time dimensions, and the sphere free energy $F$ in odd dimensions. In this work we study the entanglement entropy on a sphere of radius $R$ in a large radius limit, for field theories with gravity duals. At large radius the entropy admits a geometric expansion in powers of $R$; the leading term is the well-known area term, and there are subleading contributions. These terms can be physical, they contain information about the full renormalization group flow, and they reproduce known monotonicity theorems in particular cases. We set up an efficient method for calculating them using the Hamilton-Jacobi equation for the holographic entanglement entropy. We first reproduce the known result for the area term, the coefficient multiplying $R^{d-2}$ in the entanglement entropy. We then obtain the holographic result for the $R^{d-4}$ term and establish its irreversibility. Finally, we derive the $R^{d-6}$ coefficient for holographic theories, and also establish its irreversibility. This result goes beyond what has been proved in quantum field theory based on strong subadditivity, and hints towards new methods for analyzing the monotonicity of the renormalization group in space-time dimensions bigger than four.

description: Diversity estimates play a key role in ecological assessments. Species richness and abundance are commonly used to generate complex diversity indices that are dependent on the quality of these estimates. As such, there is a long-standing interest in the development of monitoring techniques, their ability to adequately assess species diversity, and the implications for generated indices. To determine the ability of substratum community assessment methods to capture species diversity, we evaluated four methods: photo quadrat, point intercept, random subsampling, and full quadrat assessments. Species density, abundance, richness, Shannon diversity, and Simpson diversity were then calculated for each method. We then conducted a method validation at a subset of locations to serve as an indication for how well each method captured the totality of the diversity present. Density, richness, Shannon diversity, and Simpson diversity estimates varied between methods, despite assessments occurring at the same locations, with photo quadrats detecting the lowest estimates and full quadrat assessments the highest. Abundance estimates were consistent among methods. Sample-based rarefaction and extrapolation curves indicated that differences between Hill numbers (richness, Shannon diversity, and Simpson diversity) were significant in the majority of cases, and coverage-based rarefaction and extrapolation curves confirmed that these dissimilarities were due to differences between the methods, not the sample completeness. Method validation highlighted the inability of the tested methods to capture the totality of the diversity present, while further supporting the notion of extrapolating abundances. Our results highlight the need for consistency across research methods, the advantages of utilizing multiple diversity indices, and potential concerns and considerations when comparing data from multiple sources.

description: Precision medicine provides customized treatments to patients based on their characteristics and is a promising approach to improving treatment efficiency. Large scale omics data are useful for patient characterization, but often their measurements change over time, leading to longitudinal data. Random forest is one of the state-of-the-art machine learning methods for building prediction models, and can play a crucial role in precision medicine. In this paper, we review extensions of the standard random forest method for the purpose of longitudinal data analysis. Extension methods are categorized according to the data structures for which they are designed. We consider both univariate and multivariate responses and further categorize the repeated measurements according to whether the time effect is relevant. Information of available software implementations of the reviewed extensions is also given. We conclude with discussions on the limitations of our review and some future research directions.

Children's Perceptions of Therapy
Creators: name: Christopher, Michelle Reid
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Introduction: This study elicits the experiences of children in occupational therapy. By determining their perceptions of therapeutic processes, occupations, capacities, and outcomes, we can better understand how to therapeutically meet their needs. Review of literature identifies key characteristics of good therapy: relevance, acceptance, competence, and fun within sessions; in a clean, flexible, familiar, accessible location and with a therapist who communicates, supports, listens, and understands. Research indicates that children’s opinions often differ from those of their parents and that the do process experiences, have valid opinions, and can express them successfully.

Rhino Grasshopper for Potential Energy based Hydrostatic Analysis
Creators: name: ELDARWICH, HAMID
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: 91103 Ocean Engineering
subject: FOS: Environmental engineering

description: In studying hydrostatic stability of floating bodies, two conventional methods are utilized: metacenter approach, and area under moment arm. The metacenter of a floating body is the geometric evolute of the locus of buoyancy, which can obtained by rotating the body at different incremental angles. The stability of the body at a certain angle depends on the relative position of center of gravity and the metacenter. On the other hand, in the moment arm approach the horizontal distance between the buoyancy and gravity vectors is calculated and integrated over incremental rotation angles. The latter approach is standard in the industry, but it has been met with instability problems in practice which is briefly discussed in this paper. Another approach is to asses hydrostatic stability based on direct minimization of potential energy cost function. Many commercial software are available to perform hydrostatic stability based on moment arm approach. Rhino Grasshopper is a powerful modeling and analysis tool, but it's use in marine industry is in the initial stage. In this paper, components network in Grasshopper and C\# is developed to perform hydrostatic stability analysis of three dimensional floating body regardless of its geometric complexity based on minimization of potential energy. The potential energy approach is also discussed for why it's more useful for designers. The developed Grasshopper network is validated using (1) theoretical derivation for a 2D problem, and (2) experiment with PLA 3D printed cubes with varying infill density for 3D problems. Two applications for the developed network are presented: (1) determine optimal orientation for n-sided polygons as modular floating platforms for floating cities, and (2) analyze hydrostatic stability of hypars with varying relative density.

description: Background: Significant co-morbidity between Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and chronic pelvic pain (CPP) has been reported (35-39%). IBS affects 10-20% of the general population, and is the most common condition diagnosed by gastroenterologists. Patients with IBS have abdominal pain and abnormal stool. CPP affects 12-39% of women and is defined as non-cyclical pain of at least 6-month duration. Previous research at UNC has reported a comorbidity between IBS with CPP of 35% and has identified distinct characteristics between these two groups. It has been hypothesized that co-morbid IBS with CPP is associated with higher pain report, poorer quality of life and treatment response and should be evaluated thoroughly in the treatment of women with chronic pelvic pain. Objective: To evaluate baseline pain and psychological characteristics, clinical pain improvement over time, and effectiveness of treatments among CPP patients with and without co-morbid IBS.
Absorption of Transverse Spin Current in Ferromagnetic NiCu: Dominance of Bulk Dephasing over Spin-Flip Scattering

description: In ferromagnetic metals, transverse spin currents are thought to be absorbed via dephasing -- i.e., destructive interference of spins precessing about the strong exchange field. Yet, due to the ultrashort coherence length of $\approx$1 nm in typical ferromagnetic thin films, it is difficult to distinguish dephasing in the bulk from spin-flip scattering at the interface. Here, to assess which mechanism dominates, we examine transverse spin-current absorption in ferromagnetic NiCu alloy films with reduced exchange fields. We observe that the coherence length increases with decreasing Curie temperature, as weaker dephasing in the film bulk slows down spin absorption. Moreover, nonmagnetic Cu impurities do not diminish the efficiency of spin-transfer torque from the absorbed spin current. Our findings affirm that transverse spin current is predominantly absorbed by dephasing inside the nanometer-thick ferromagnetic metals, even with high impurity contents.
