description: A disk-corona model for fitting low/hard (LH) state of associated steady jet of black hole X-ray binaries (BHXBs) is proposed based on the large-scale magnetic field configuration of the coexistence of the Blandford-Znajek (BZ) and Blandford-Payne (BP) processes,where the magnetic field configuration for the BP process is determined by the requirement of energy conversion from Poynting energy flux into kinetic energy flux in the jet. It is found that corona current is crucial to guarantee the consistency of the jet launching from accretion disk. The relative importance of the BZ to BP processes in powering jets from black hole accretion disk is discussed, and the LH state of several BHXBs is fitted based on our model.In addition, we suggest that magnetic field configuration could be regarded as the second parameter for governing the state transition of BHXBs.

DISTRIBUTION: Most of Europe including the British Isis and eastwards to Lake Baikal, Yenise River (Russia), Tien Shan (China), and NW Mongolia; disjunct in Sakhalin Isl and adjacent Siberia, Jilin (China), and N Korea. SYNONYMS: albus, aquaticus, argenteus, bicolor, brachyotus, canicularius, carinatus, ciliatus, collaris, constrictus, dagestanicus, daubentonii, eremita, fimbriatus, fluviatilis, griseogularis, hermanni, hydrophilus, ignotus, intermedius, limchjnhunii, lineatus, linneana, liricaudatus, longobarda, macrourus, minor, musculus, naias, natans, newtoni, niethammeri, nigripes, orientalis, orientis, pennantii, psilurus, remifer, rivalis, sowerbyi, stagnatilis, stresemanni, teres, watasei. COMMENTS: Includes teres, orientis, and watasei as possible subspecies (Ognev, 1928; Hoffmann, 1987; Yudin, 1989). Many of the listed synonyms have never been properly studied and identified; recently, Lehmann (1983) referred constrictus to Crocidura russula. The form niethammeri from NE Spain may represent a valid species (López-Fuster et al., 1990).

description: We derive the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation for the dynamical self-diffraction of optical waves in a nonlinear cavity. The case of the reflection geometry of wave interaction as well as a medium that possesses the cubic nonlinearity (including a local and a nonlocal nonlinear responses) and the relaxation is considered. A stable localized spatial structure in the form of a "dark" dissipative soliton is formed in the cavity in the steady state. The envelope of the intensity pattern, as well as of the dynamical grating amplitude, takes the shape of a $\tanh$ function. The obtained complex Ginzburg-Landau equation describes the dynamics of this envelope, at the same time the evolution of this spatial structure changes the parameters of the output waves. New effects are predicted in this system due to the transformation of the dissipative soliton which takes place during the interaction of a pulse with a continuous wave, such as: retention of the pulse shape during the transmission of impulses in a long nonlinear cavity; giant amplification of a seed pulse, which takes energy due to redistribution of the pump continuous energy into the signal.

description: Following a Four Dimensional Renormalization approach to ultraviolet divergences (FDR), we extend the concept of predictivity to non-renormalizable quantum field theories at arbitrarily large perturbative orders. The idea of topological renormalization is introduced, which keeps a finite value for the parameters of the theory by trading the usual order-by-order renormalization procedure for an order-by-order redefinition of the perturbative vacuum. One additional measurement is then sufficient to systematically compute quantum corrections at any loop order, with no need of absorbing ultraviolet infinities in the Lagrangian.

Nature of segregation of reactants in diffusion controlled A+B reactions: Role of mobility in forming compact clusters

description: We investigate the A+B=0 bimolecular chemical reaction taking place in low-dimensional spaces when the mobilities of the two reacting species are not equal. While the case of different reactant mobilities has been previously reported as not affecting the scaling of the reactant densities with time, but only the pre-exponential factor, the mechanism for this had not been explained before. By using Monte-Carlo simulations we show that the nature of segregation is very different when compared to the normal case of equal reactant mobilities. The clusters of the mobile species are statistically homogeneous and randomly distributed in space, but the clusters of the less mobile species are much more compact and restricted in space. Due to the asymmetric mobilities, the initial symmetric random density fluctuations in time turn into asymmetric density fluctuations. We explain this trend by calculating the correlation functions for the positions of particles for the several different cases.

description: This socioculturally framed case study investigates the agency of young children aged 2 years old during their digital media use in their homes in Finland. The study has two objectives: (a) to portray children’s use of digital media in homes and (b) to identify how, if at all, children’s agency manifests itself in their digitally mediated activities in the home context. The case study data were collected by means of the “Day in the Life” methodology (Gillen, et al., 2007), which entails researchers visiting children’s homes and collecting observational and video data over one full day. The parents’ accounts were also taken into consideration by means of an informal interview. The findings demonstrate how the children’s agency manifested itself in child-initiated activities that afforded children to make choices, and to take active, interactive and creative positions around digital media. The children’s agency was mediated by the sociocultural contexts of their homes, including the nature of digital media at their disposal and the rules, objectives and social interactions between the child and adult(s). The study contributes to the present-day understanding of the sociocultural conditions of children’s agency and its manifestations in their digital media use at home.

description: As semiconductor patterning dimensions shrink, more advanced Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) image-based defect inspection techniques are needed. Recently, many Machine Learning (ML)-based approaches have been proposed for defect localization and have shown impressive results. These methods often rely on feature extraction from a full SEM image and possibly a number of regions of interest. In this study, we propose a deep Reinforcement Learning (RL)-based approach to defect localization which iteratively extracts features from increasingly smaller regions of the input image. We compare the results of 18 agents trained with different feature extractors. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different feature extractors as well as the RL-based framework in general for semiconductor defect localization.

description: La robótica y el pensamiento computacional son tendencias educativas cada vez más interesantes, ya que actualmente se piensa que la próxima generación necesitará dominarlas para poder vivir conforme a los requerimientos de la sociedad futura. Su introducción en el aula desde edades tempranas es un elemento clave que está condicionado por el uso e interacción con el robot en el proceso educativo. Esta investigación se desarrolla desde un planteamiento transversal, en el que el robot se convierte en una herramienta activa para que los estudiantes aprendan contenidos propios del currículo oficial de diferentes disciplinas, a la vez que desarrollan otro tipo de competencias transversales, como el pensamiento computacional. Se presentarán los resultados de una intervención en la que se han repartido entre grupo control y experimental, 142 alumnos de 7-8 años de 5 colegios de Castilla-La Mancha (España) que han trabajado en la realización de tareas de interpretación de planos ligadas a aprendizajes curriculares de las áreas de Matemáticas y Ciencias Sociales, mediante la programación de pequeños robots sigue-líneas. Para evaluar el efecto de la intervención se realizaron pre y pos-test con instrumentos validados para medir la orientación espacial, el pensamiento computacional y la motivación de los alumnos participantes en el estudio.

description: Using Ferromagnetic Fermi liquid theory, Bedell and Blagoev derived the collective low-energy excitations of a weak ferromagnet. They obtained the well-known magnon (Nambu-Goldstone) mode and found a new gapped mode that was never studied in weak ferromagnetic metals. In this article we have identified this mode as the Higgs boson (amplitude mode) of a ferromagnetic metal. This is identified as the Higgs since it can be show that it corresponds to a fluctuation of the amplitude of the order parameter. We use this model to describe the itinerant-electron ferromagnetic material MnSi. By fitting the model with the existing experimental results, we calculate the dynamical structure function and see well-defined peaks contributed from the magnon and the Higgs. Our estimates of the relative intensity of the Higgs amplitude mode suggest that it can be seen in neutron scattering experiments on MnSi.

description: With more than 300 million daily users, Instagram has rapidly become one of the most widely used social networking apps worldwide. This study investigates relationships between motivations for using Instagram, whether users are portraying their true-selves and how their usage affects life satisfaction and well-being. A quantitative survey was used to collect data from 200 students at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas students. Participants were asked to provide answers regarding their habits for using Instagram, whether their online portrayal of self reflected their true self and determine overall life satisfaction. The motives studied in this research include: interpersonal communication, entertainment, information seeking, diversion and identity (Sheldon and Bryant 2015; Ting 2014; Papacharissi and Mendelson 2011; Sundar and Limperos 2013). The research question asked if there was a relationship between gender and usage of Instagram, results indicated there was less than one percent difference in usage among gender. Results support the hypothesis that there was a significant, positive relationship between the presentation of true self and life satisfaction. Other notable findings include the merging of two uses and gratification factors to become identity and social affinity; negative relationships between true-self and escape motive; and a negative relationship between the escape motive and life satisfaction.

description: We propose a compressive sensing algorithm that exploits geometric properties of images to recover images of high quality from few measurements. The image reconstruction is done by iterating the two following steps: 1) estimation of normal vectors of the image level curves and 2) reconstruction of an image fitting the normal vectors, the compressed sensing measurements and the sparsity constraint. The proposed technique can naturally extend to non local operators and graphs to exploit the repetitive nature of textured images in order to recover fine detail structures. In both cases, the problem is reduced to a series of convex minimization problems that can be efficiently solved with a combination of variable splitting and augmented Lagrangian methods, leading to fast and easy-to-code algorithms. Extended experiments show a clear improvement over related state-of-the-art algorithms in the quality of the reconstructed images and the robustness of the proposed method to noise, different kind of images and reduced measurements.

description: There is growing evidence for high-frequency gravitational waves (HFGWs) ranging from MHz to GHz. Several HFGW detectors have been operating for over a decade, and two GHz events have been reported recently. However, a confirmed detection might take a decade. This essay argues that unexplained observed astrophysical phenomena, like Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs), might provide indirect evidence for HFGWs. In particular, using the Gertsenshtein-Zel$'$dovich effect, we show that our model can explain three key features of FRBs: generate peak-flux up to $1000~{\rm Jy}$, naturally explain the pulse width and the coherent nature of FRBs. In short, our model offers a novel perspective on the indirection detection of HFGWs beyond current detection capabilities. Thus, transient events like FRBs are a rich source for multi-messenger astronomy.

description: One of the important unknowns of current cosmology concerns the effects of the large scale distribution of matter on the formation and evolution of dark matter haloes and galaxies. One main difficulty in answering this question lies in the absence of a robust and natural way of identifying the large scale environments and their characteristics. This work summarizes the NEXUS+ formalism which extends and improves our multiscale scale-space MMF method. The new algorithm is very successful in tracing the Cosmic Web components, mainly due to its novel filtering of the density in logarithmic space. The method, due to its multiscale and hierarchical character, has the advantage of detecting all the cosmic structures, either prominent or tenuous, without preference for a certain size or shape. The resulting filamentary and wall networks can easily be characterized by their direction, thickness, mass density and density profile. These additional environmental properties allows to us to investigate not only the effect of environment on haloes, but also how it correlates with the environment characteristics.

description: Zircons are found in extraterrestrial rocks from the Moon, Mars, and some differentiated meteorite parent-bodies. These zircons are rare, often of small size, and have been affected by neutron capture induced by cosmic ray exposure. The application of the 176Lu-176Hf decay system to zircons from planetary bodies such as the Moon can help establish the chronology of large-scale differentiation processes, like the crystallization of the lunar magma ocean. Here, we present methods to measure the isotopic composition of Hf of extraterrestrial zircons dated using ID-TIMS U-Pb after chemical abrasion. We introduce a 2-stage elution scheme to separate Hf from Zr while preserving the unused Zr fraction for future isotopic analysis. The effect of neutron capture is also re-examined using the latest thermal neutron capture cross sections and epithermal resonance integrals. Our tests show that the precision of Hf isotopic analyses is close to what is theoretically attainable. We have tested this method to a limited set of zircon grains from lunar rocks returned by the Apollo missions (lunar soil 14163, fragmental polymict breccia 72275, and clast-rich breccia 14321). The model ages align with previously reported values, but further work is needed to assess the chronology of lunar magma ocean crystallization as only a handful of small zircons (5 zircons from 3 samples) were analyzed, and the precision of the analyses can be improved by measuring more and larger lunar zircon grains.

Modeling Impaired Hippocampal Neurogenesis after Radiation Exposure

description: The birth of neuronal cells from neuronal stem cells is known as neurogenesis, and the granular cell layer of the dentate gyrus of hippocampus is one of the two regions in the brain this process occurs. Cognitive damages following radiation therapy for brain cancers in both children and adults have been linked to impairment of neurogenesis in the hippocampus. Studies followed using mice and rats as model animals have shown impairment in neurogenesis process following exposure to radiation. Obtaining experimental data for radiation-induced changes in neurogenesis in humans is very difficult. Model was developed and applied to mouse data previously; this study aims to apply the model to rat data. The patterns of neurogenesis impairment following radiation exposure can then provide insights for extrapolations with relevance to human physiology. A mathematical model was designed to represent the time, age and dose dependent changes occurring to several cell populations that participate in neurogenesis using nonlinear differential equations (ODE). To model the alterations in hippocampal neurogenesis following radiation exposure, four neuronal stem cell populations were considered: neural stem cells, neuroblasts, immature neurons and glioblasts. Matlab Simulink was used to solve nonlinear ODEs. With this model we were able to successfully produce data matching the experimental data for the dynamics of the rat hippocampal cell population under unirradiated and irradiated conditions. Development of these mathematical models may lead to help optimizing radiation therapy for cancer patients in the future.
Fundamental Tradeoffs in Estimation of Finite-State Hidden Markov Models
Creators: name: Le, Justin
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2018

description: Hidden Markov models (HMMs) constitute a broad and flexible class of statistical models that are widely used in studying processes that evolve over time and are only observable through the collection of noisy data. Two problems are essential to the use of HMMs: state estimation and parameter estimation. In state estimation, an algorithm estimates the sequence of states of the process that most likely generated a certain sequence of observations in the data. In parameter estimation, an algorithm computes the probability distributions that govern the time-evolution of states and the sampling of data. Although algorithms for the two problems are widely researched, relatively little study has been devoted to understanding the tradeoffs between key design variables of these algorithms from a mathematically rigorous viewpoint. In this thesis, we provide such a study by establishing theorems regarding these tradeoffs. Furthermore, we illustrate the implications of these theorems in practice, highlighting the scope of their applicability and generality. We then suggest directions for future research in this area by bringing attention to the critical assumptions and tools used in the proofs of our theorems.

description: We investigate how the azimuthal ambiguity in solar vector magnetogram data can be resolved by using the divergence-free property of magnetic fields. In a previous article, by Crouch, Barnes, and Leka (Solar Phys. 260, 271, 2009), error-free synthetic data were used to test several methods that each make a different assumption about how the divergence-free property can be used to resolve the ambiguity. In this paper this testing is continued with an examination of the effects of Poisson photon noise and limited instrumental spatial resolution. We find that all currently available methods based on the divergence-free property can produce undesirable results when photon noise or unresolved structure are present in the data. We perform a series of experiments aimed at improving the performance of the global minimisation method, which is the most promising of the methods. We present a two-step approach that produces reasonable results in tests using synthetic data. The first step of this approach involves the global minimisation of a combination of the absolute value of the approximation for the divergence and a smoothness constraint, which is designed to minimise the difference between the magnetic field in neighbouring pixels. In the second step, pixels with measurements known to be strongly affected by photon noise are revisited with a smoothing algorithm that also seeks to minimise the difference between the magnetic field in neighbouring pixels.

description: The number of countries worldwide that have allowed citizens abroad the opportunity to vote in elections taking place in their country-of-origin has risen sharply in the last thirty years. Many countries in Latin America and the Caribbean have followed this global trend of granting voting rights to their migrant communities. However, the source of this trend in Latin America and the Caribbean has not been well addressed in the political science literature. This study seeks to minimize that gap by analyzing the determinants of external voting rights for 27 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, using data from 1980-2012. The study applies the Cox Proportional Hazard Model to determine which variables increase the likelihood of external voting legislation. Furthermore, case studies of Chile and Mexico are presented. The thesis concludes by emphasizing the impact of remittances, political leaning of the government, and the political calculations that politicians must take when deciding whether or not to adopt external voting laws.

description: We present a method for the production of segmented optics. It is a novel processing developed at INAF-Osservatorio Astronomico di Brera (INAF-OAB) employing commercial of-the-shelf materials. It is based on the shaping of thin glass foils by means of forced bending, this occurring at room temperature (cold-shaping). The glass is then assembled into a sandwich structure for retaining the imposed shape. The principal mechanical features of the mirrors are the very low weight, rigidity and environmental robustness. The cost and production time also turns to be very competitive. In this paper we sum up the results achieved during the r&d performed in the past years. We have investigated the theoretical limits of the structural components by means of parametric finite elements analyses; we also discuss the effects caused by the most common structural loads. Finally, the process implementation, the more significant validation tests and the mass production at the industry is described.

description: We identify a distinct superconducting phase at the interface of a La$_{1.48}$Nd$_{0.4}$Sr$_{0.12}$CuO$_4$ (LNSCO)/La$_{1.84}$Sr$_{0.16}$CuO$_4$ (LSCO) epitaxial bilayer system using ac screening measurements. A model based on inter-diffusion of quasiparticles and condensate at the interface yields a thickness of $\sim$ 25 nm for the interfacial layer. Two-dimensional superconductivity of the interface layer appears to be governed by Kosterlitz-Thouless-Berezinskii transition. A parallel magnetic field suppresses the superconducting transition temperature of this layer with a pair breaking parameter $α$ varying as $H^2$.

description: In order to analyze the stress state of the seed cotton in the process of ginning cotton, a theoretical model for cotton, namely three-dimensional braided cotton was developed. The model consists of cotton fiber bundles arranged according to the unit cell structure of a three-dimensional four-directional braided composite material. The fiber bundle has a circular section and the shape of the cross section remains unchanged along the axial direction. Based on this model, the serrated ginning process is simulated using finite-element analysis. By analyzing of the effects of different moisture regain and speed on the serration cotton ginning process, the results show that the simulation results agree with the actual situation and the model has certain applications. Compared to the laminated cotton model, the three-dimensional braided cotton model has been improved obviously. In terms of model structure, the three-dimensional braided cotton model is closer to the actual situation of cotton than the existing laminated cotton model. The whole model in the laminated cotton model is an entity, which is bonded together by multiple layers of single-layer panels at different angles. The three-dimensional braided cotton model takes into account the intertwining of fibers and apces, but does consider the distribution of cottonseed which will be the focus research.

description: Supervised matrix factorization (SMF) is a classical machine learning method that simultaneously seeks feature extraction and classification tasks, which are not necessarily a priori aligned objectives. Our goal is to use SMF to learn low-rank latent factors that offer interpretable, data-reconstructive, and class-discriminative features, addressing challenges posed by high-dimensional data. Training SMF model involves solving a nonconvex and possibly constrained optimization with at least three blocks of parameters. Known algorithms are either heuristic or provide weak convergence guarantees for special cases. In this paper, we provide a novel framework that 'lifts' SMF as a low-rank matrix estimation problem in a combined factor space and propose an efficient algorithm that provably converges exponentially fast to a global minimizer of the objective with arbitrary initialization under mild assumptions. Our framework applies to a wide range of SMF-type problems for multi-class classification with auxiliary features. To showcase an application, we demonstrate that our algorithm successfully identified well-known cancer-associated gene groups for various cancers.

description: We combine new dust continuum observations of the edge-on spiral galaxy NGC 4565 in all Herschel/SPIRE (250, 350, 500 micron) wavebands, obtained as part of the Herschel Reference Survey, and a large set of ancillary data (Spitzer, SDSS, GALEX) to analyze its dust energy balance. We fit a radiative transfer model for the stars and dust to the optical maps with the fitting algorithm FitSKIRT. To account for the observed UV and mid-infrared emission, this initial model was supplemented with both obscured and unobscured star-forming regions. Even though these star-forming complexes provide an additional heating source for the dust, the far-infrared/submillimeter emission long wards of 100 micron is underestimated by a factor of 3-4. This inconsistency in the dust energy budget of NGC 4565 suggests that a sizable fraction (two-thirds) of the total dust reservoir (Mdust ~ 2.9e+8 Msun) consists of a clumpy distribution with no associated young stellar sources. The distribution of those dense dust clouds would be in such a way that they remain unresolved in current far-infrared/submillimeter observations and hardly comtribute to the attenuation at optical wavelengths. More than two-thirds of the dust heating in NGC 4565 is powered by the old stellar population, with localized embedded sources supplying the remaining dust heating in NGC 4565. The results from this detailed dust energy balance study in NGC 4565 is consistent with that of similar analyses of other edge-on spirals.

description: A link stream is a set of possibly weighted triplets (t, u, v) modeling that u and v interacted at time t. Link streams offer an effective model for datasets containing both temporal and relational information, making their proper analysis crucial in many applications. They are commonly regarded as sequences of graphs or collections of time series. Yet, a recent seminal work demonstrated that link streams are more general objects of which graphs are only particular cases. It therefore started the construction of a dedicated formalism for link streams by extending graph theory. In this work, we contribute to the development of this formalism by showing that link streams also generalize time series. In particular, we show that a link stream corresponds to a time-series extended to a relational dimension, which opens the door to also extend the framework of signal processing to link streams. We therefore develop extensions of numerous signal concepts to link streams: from elementary ones like energy, correlation, and differentiation, to more advanced ones like Fourier transform and filters.
