description: The primary objective of this master degree thesis is to examine the possibility to forecast if the grand accountants’ report (auditors) is qualified or not by using k – Nearest Neighbors, Levenberg – Marquardt Neural Networks, Random Neural Networks, Back Propagation, Naïve Bayes,Support Vector Machines and Decision Trees Classifiers. The above classification was implemented using MatLab in addition to PRTools subrootines on a 450 reports sample from different companies of UK and Ireland. Following, we apply three feature selection methods and we compare again the test results of the above classifiers. We evaluate which of them have the greatest forecasting ability and under which circumstances (with or without feature selection). Finally it is proved that the creation of an information system / application which can evaluate if a report it is qualified or not using Support Vector Machines and back propagation classifiers, it is possible.
title: Cost Estimating and Forecasting for Highway Work in Kentucky
title: (Study KYSPR-94-158)
titleType: Subtitle
Creators: name: Stevens, James D.
Publisher: name: Kentucky Transportation Center, University of Kentucky
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: Starting 1 July 1992, KRS45.245 granted the Interim Joint Committee on Transportation oversight of the biennial highway plan, including a review of all authorized highway project phases that exceed their estimates by 15%.  Estimates developed using current methods were not sufficiently accurate to preclude cost overruns in excess of 15%. Estimates were prepared before design began in order for the project to be included in the six-year plan. These estimates were not revised after a more detailed scope was available.  There were 562 overruns >15% at a cost of approximately $265 million during the period 7/1/92-7/1/98. All overruns were approved for the necessary additional funding. The requirement for review of overruns > 15% was canceled by the General Assembly (HB655) effective 1 July 1998.  There was a need for better cost estimating and forecasting for highway work in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. This research effort studied the causes of the 562 cost overruns > 15% and attempted to improve the conceptual estimating process. A computerized conceptual estimating model, KYEstimate, was developed to assist estimators in preparing and justifying conceptual estimates that must be made prior to detailing seeping of projects. Recommendations and conclusions are presented.

description: A search is presented for $\tau$ slepton pairs produced in proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV. The search is carried out in events containing two $\tau$ leptons in the final state, on the assumption that each $\tau$ slepton decays primarily to a $\tau$ lepton and a neutralino. Events are considered in which each $\tau$ lepton decays to one or more hadrons and a neutrino, or in which one of the $\tau$ leptons decays instead to an electron or a muon and two neutrinos. The data, collected with the CMS detector in 2016 and 2017, correspond to an integrated luminosity of 77.2 fb$^{-1}$. The observed data are consistent with the standard model background expectation. The results are used to set 95% confidence level upper limits on the cross section for $\tau$ slepton pair production in various models for $\tau$ slepton masses between 90 and 200 GeV and neutralino masses of 1, 10, and 20 GeV. In the case of purely left-handed $\tau$ slepton production and decay to a $\tau$ lepton and a neutralino with a mass of 1 GeV, the strongest limit is obtained for a $\tau$ slepton mass of 125 GeV at a factor of 1.14 larger than the theoretical cross section.

description: The application of reliable structural health monitoring (SHM) technologies to operational wind turbine blades is a challenging task, due to the uncertain nature of the environments they operate in. In this paper, a novel SHM methodology, which uses Gaussian Processes (GPs) is proposed. The methodology takes advantage of the fact that the blades on a turbine are nominally identical in structural properties and encounter the same environmental and operational variables (EOVs). The properties of interest are the first edgewise frequencies of the blades. The GPs are used to predict the edge frequencies of one blade given that of another, after these relationships between the pairs of blades have been learned when the blades are in a healthy state. In using this approach, the proposed SHM methodology is able to identify when the blades start behaving differently from one another over time. To validate the concept, the proposed SHM system is applied to real onshore wind turbine blade data, where some form of damage was known to have taken place. X-bar control chart analysis of the residual errors between the GP predictions and actual frequencies show that the system successfully identified early onset of damage as early as six months before it was identified and remedied.
The Brightest Stars in M32: Comparing Predictions from Spectra with the Resolved Stellar Content

description: Broad- and narrow-band images covering the 1 - 4um wavelength interval are used to investigate the properties of the brightest AGB stars in the Local Group galaxy M32. The brightest AGB stars near the center of M32 have peak M_L' brightnesses and K-L' colors that are similar to those of luminous AGB stars in the Galactic disk, while the density of bright AGB stars per unit visible and near-infrared surface brightness is found to be constant out to projected major axis distances of 1 kpc. The J-K color distribution of bright AGB stars throughout much of the galaxy is consistent with that of a single population of AGB stars, the majority of which are long period variables, having a common metallicity and age. Thus, these data do not support spectroscopic studies that find an age gradient in M32. The well-mixed AGB content of M32 is consistent with tidal stirring. The stellar content of M32 is compared with that of the M31 bulge. While the peak K-band brightnesses of AGB stars in the two systems agree to within a few tenths of a magnitude, M32 contains more bright AGB stars per unit integrated brightness than the outer bulge of M31.

Is the weak definite a generic? An experimental investigation

description: We discuss the properties of weak definite noun phrases, definite noun phrases
 (henceforth DP) which do not uniquely refer to an individual referent. Since one of
 the properties of generic noun phrases is that they do not uniquely refer, we asked
 whether weak definites might in fact be a form of generic noun phrase. We adopted
 a quantitative and experimental approach conducting a corpus analysis and four
 experiments that were designed to assess whether weak definites differ from DPs
 that are generic, weak and regular definites. A corpus analysis by de Sá et al. (2016)
 showed that generic DPs and weak definites are not in complementary distribution.
 A follow-up analysis on verb aktionsart showed that most weak definites appear in
 telic or activity DPs. The experiments also compared matched sentences with weak,
 regular and generic reading DPs. These studies do not find similarities between
 weak definites and generics. We conclude that weak definite noun phrases are not
 generics.

description: We present high spectral resolution (v~12-16 km/s) Brackett line spectroscopy of the blue compact dwarf galaxy Henize 2-10 made with NIRSPEC on the Keck Telescope. The spatial resolution is seeing limited, at 1". We detect two distinct kinematic features separated by approximately 3", with heliocentric velocities of ~860 and ~890 km/s. In addition to a narrow core, the line profiles also display a broad, low intensity feature on the blue side of the centroid, which we attribute to an outflow. This may be a sign of aging in the clusters. We compare to archival high resolution Very Large Array (VLA) data at 1.3 cm, and find that the centimeter wavelength emission is resolved into six sources. These radio sources are organized into two larger groups, which we associate with the two kinematic peaks in the Brackett spectrum. We estimate a Lyman continuum rate of at least 7 x 10^52 s^-1, with a corresponding stellar mass of 6 x 10^6 M_sun is required to ionize the nebulae. We also estimate the size of the nebulae from the radio continuum brightness and find that the observed sources probably contain many HII regions in smaller, unresolved clumps. Brackett line profiles have supersonic line widths, but, aside from the blue wing, are comparable to line widths observed in Galactic ultracompact HII regions, which are excited by a single star, or a few stars.

description: The withdrawal of proxy is the statutory right provided by law in Articles 218-221 RA.At first, the waiver of the right to revoke is not possible. Exceptionally, and under specific conditions can be held valid waiver, which refers to an irrevocable proxy, which can be revoked only if a great reason takes place. Regarding the specific issues of proxy withdrawal implicit proxy is revoked both with tacit and explicit statement of the principal cases. Major issue was the withdrawal of proxy, which is contained in a contract where there was divergence in the law with the case-law refusing to accept the right of unilateral withdrawal (Article 218 Civil Code). In the case of metaplirexousiotita the withdrawal of the original attorney does not automatically mean the revocation of the substitute proxy as well. Finally,the the post klironomiti proxy is withdrawn from the heirs of the principal.

Test-Retest Reliability of Emotion Regulation Networks in the Resting-State fMRI Functional Connectivity
Creators: name: Jeay-Bizot, Lucas

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Background Emotion regulation (ER) refers to the control of emotions with the goal to start, stop or otherwise modulate the trajectory of emotional responses. Whereas multiple brain areas have been implicated in ER, relatively little is known about the functionally connected networks during rest that are related to ER and their reliability. The investigation of the reliability of metrics derived from resting-state (rs) fMRI repeat scans is a prerequisite for the development of biomarkers. Here, we examined the test-retest reliability of ER networks derived from rs-fMRI data. Methods 28 healthy participants (23f, mean age = 22.8 ± 3.1) underwent 3 rs- fMRI sessions (eyes open) with a 1 week test-retest interval. The data was acquired using a CMMR multiband EPI sequence at ultra-high field (7T). 258 rs-fMRI volumes were acquired. Functional connectivity analysis was performed using the CONN Toolbox and by applying a seed-region approach. Seed regions were selected based on previously defined 4 networks implicated in ER (N1: attention & memory, N2: language, N3: emotion, N4: interoception) (Morawetz et al., under review). Results Intra-class correlation coefficients revealed that the cortical networks implicated in ER (N1 & N2) are highly reproducible between all sessions, while the subcortical networks implicated in emotion generation (N3 & N4) are less reproducible. Conclusions Our results support the idea of highly reliable networks involved in ER that could be used in future studies with the main scope to explore resting-state networks in both healthy and patient populations.

description: The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has recently delivered the first resolved images of M87*, the supermassive black hole in the center of the M87 galaxy. These images were produced using 230 GHz observations performed in 2017 April. Additional observations are required to investigate the persistence of the primary image feature - a ring with azimuthal brightness asymmetry - and to quantify the image variability on event horizon scales. To address this need, we analyze M87* data collected with prototype EHT arrays in 2009, 2011, 2012, and 2013. While these observations do not contain enough information to produce images, they are sufficient to constrain simple geometric models. We develop a modeling approach based on the framework utilized for the 2017 EHT data analysis and validate our procedures using synthetic data. Applying the same approach to the observational data sets, we find the M87* morphology in 2009-2017 to be consistent with a persistent asymmetric ring of ~40 uas diameter. The position angle of the peak intensity varies in time. In particular, we find a significant difference between the position angle measured in 2013 and 2017. These variations are in broad agreement with predictions of a subset of general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic simulations. We show that quantifying the variability across multiple observational epochs has the potential to constrain the physical properties of the source, such as the accretion state or the black hole spin.
Red Supergiants in the Disk of M81: Tracing the Spatial Distribution of Star Formation 25 Million Years in the Past

Publisher: name: arXiv

description: Near-infrared images are used to investigate the brightest red stars in the disk of the nearby spiral galaxy M81. Red supergiants (RSGs) form a well-defined sequence on the color-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) that peaks near M_K = -11.5; RSGs with this peak brightness are seen throughout all fields that were studied, indicating that star formation occured over a large part of the M81 disk only ~ 10 Myr in the past. The number of RSGs per unit integrated K-band light is compared at various locations in the disk. We conclude that star-forming activity in M81 during the past 10 - 25 Myr (1) was distributed over a larger fraction of the disk than it is at the present day, and (2) was not restricted to a given radial interval, but was distributed in a manner that closely followed the stellar mass profile. Star counts indicate that the mean SFR of M81 between 10 and 25 Myr in the past was ~ 0.1 solar masses per year, which is not greatly different from the present day SFR estimated from Halpha and FUV emission.

description: As a Model Deployment State for CVISN (Commercial Vehicle Information Systems and Networks), Kentucky is valuating and improving its procedures related to commercial vehicle administration and enforcement. As part of this effort, the Kentucky Transportation Center (KTC) was asked to investigate the frequency of registration-related violations at Kentucky weigh stations and the potential effectiveness of a license plate recognition (LPR) system in detecting and deterring such violations. Typical violations considered in the investigation included using an expired license plate, hauling weight in excess of the truck’s registered weight, or traveling in Kentucky without proper authority.  KTC researchers first examined Kentucky’s current weigh station procedures.This was followed by collection of weight and license plate data for a five-hour period at the Kenton County weigh station on I-75. Over 1,100 trucks were observed, representing 34 states and 3 Canadian provinces. A total of 67 violations were observed, 52 of which would have gone undetected under current weigh station procedures. The most frequently-observed violations were for exceeding registered weight, no plate, illegible plate, and expired plate.  LPR technology is in widespread use throughout the world, but there have been very few instances of its application to commercial vehicle enforcement activities at weigh stations. Those few efforts have met with little success. Experience has shown that LPR systems are complicated and require high levels of maintenance. Integration with weigh-in-motion (WIM) equipment and appropriate databases have posed significant problems for users.  In time, LPR technology should continue to mature, and necessary national databases, such as the Safety and Fitness Electronic Records (SAFER) database and the Commercial Vehicle Information Exchange Window (CVIEW), should become readily available. With these changes, LPR systems will become a much more attractive option for electronic identification of commercial vehicles. Until then,interim measures should be considered, such as a video monitoring system on the weigh station ramp to allow enforcement personnel to detect vehicles with illegible or missing plates.

description: We consider the problem of finding a desired item out of $N$ items arranged on the sites of a two-dimensional lattice of size $\sqrt{N} \times \sqrt{N}$. The previous quantum walk based algorithms take $O(\sqrt{N}\log N)$ steps to solve this problem, and it is an open question whether the performance can be improved. We present a new algorithm which solves the problem in $O(\sqrt{N\log N})$ steps, thus giving an $O(\sqrt{\log N})$ improvement over the known algorithms. The improvement is achieved by controlling the quantum walk on the lattice using an ancilla qubit.

Η απουσία των παραδοσιακών αφηγηματικών τεχνικών αναγάγει αυτό το βιβλίο σε έργο εμβληματικό και συνάμα προφητικό του Νοuveau Roman κι αφήνει το περιθώριο στον αναγνώστη για μια προσωπική και υποκειμενική ερμηνεία
description: The Alain Robbe-Grillet jealousy events are mainly the reflection of an inner experience therefore the author has used a great number a literary and cinema techniques in order to place the unsaid in the core of his creation. Thanks to absence of traditional narrative techniques the jealousy appears as an empblematic piece of work of the New Novel, leaving space to reader of a more personal and subjective interpretation

description: We study the phase transition from nuclear matter to quark matter within the SU(3) quark mean field model and NJL model. The SU(3) quark mean field model is used to give the equation of state for nuclear matter, while the equation of state for color superconducting quark matter is calculated within the NJL model. It is found that at low temperature, the phase transition from nuclear to color superconducting quark matter will take place when the density is of order 2.5$ρ_0$ - 5$ρ_0$. At zero density, the quark phase will appear when the temperature is larger than about 148 MeV. The phase transition from nuclear matter to quark matter is always first order, whereas the transition between color superconducting quark matter and normal quark matter is second order.

description: We calculate the equation of state of nuclear matter based on the general analysis of the grand canonical partition function in the $S$-matrix framework. In addition to the low mass stable particles and their two-body scattering channels considered earlier, the calculation includes systematically all the higher mass particles and their exited states as well as the scattering channels formed by any number of these species. We estimate the latter contribution by resonances in all the channels. The resulting model-independent virial series for pressure gets substantial contribution from the heavy particles and the channels containing them. The series converges for larger values of baryon density than found earlier.

description: A measurement of the inclusive cross section of top quark pair production in association with a Z boson using proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV at the LHC is performed. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 77.5 fb$^{-1}$, collected by the CMS experiment during 2016 and 2017. The measurement is performed using final states containing three or four charged leptons (electrons or muons), and the Z boson is detected through its decay to an oppositely charged lepton pair. The production cross section is measured to be $\sigma(\mathrm{t\bar{t}Z})=$ 0.95$\pm$0.05 (stat) $\pm$0.06 (syst) pb. For the first time, differential cross sections are measured as functions of the transverse momentum of the Z boson and the angular distribution of the negatively charged lepton from the Z boson decay. The most stringent direct limits to date on the anomalous couplings of the top quark to the Z boson are presented, including constraints on the Wilson coefficients in the framework of the standard model effective field theory.

description: Molecular chirality plays a crucial role in innumerable biological processes. The chirality of a molecule can typically be identified by its characteristic optical response, the circular dichroism (CD). CD signals have thus long been used to identify the state of molecules or to follow dynamic protein configurations. In recent years, the focus has moved towards plasmonic nanostructures, as they show potential for applications ranging from pathogen sensing to novel optical materials. The plasmonic coupling of the individual elements of such chiral metallic structures is a crucial prerequisite to obtain sizeable CD signals. We here identified and implemented various coupling entities - chiral and achiral - to obtain chiral transfer over distances close to 100 nm. The coupling is realized by an achiral nanosphere situated between a pair of gold nanorods that are arranged far apart but in a chiral fashion. We synthesized these structures with nanometer precision using DNA origami and obtained sample homogeneity that allowed us to directly demonstrate efficient chiral energy transfer between the distant nanorods. The transmitter particle causes a strong enhancement in amplitude of the CD response, the emergence of an additional chiral feature at the resonance frequency of the nanosphere, and a redshift of the longitudinal plasmonic resonance frequency of the nanorods. Numerical simulations closely match our experimental observations and give insights in the intricate behavior of chiral optical fields and the transfer of plasmons in complex architectures.

description: Heptamethine cyanine dyes enable deep tissue fluorescence imaging in the near infrared (NIR) window. Small molecule conjugates of the benchmark dye ZW800-1 have been tested in humans. However, long-term imaging protocols using ZW800-1 conjugates are limited by their instability, primarily because the chemically labile C4′-O-aryl linker is susceptible to cleavage by biological nucleophiles. Here, we report a modular synthetic method that produces novel doubly strapped zwitterionic heptamethine cyanine dyes, including a structural analogue of ZW800-1, with greatly enhanced dye stability. NIR-I and NIR-II versions of these doubly strapped dyes can be conjugated to proteins, including monoclonal antibodies, without causing undesired fluorophore degradation or dye stacking on the protein surface. The fluorescent antibody conjugates show excellent tumor-targeting specificity in a xenograft mouse tumor model. The enhanced stability provided by doubly strapped molecular design will enable new classes of in vivo NIR fluorescence imaging experiments with possible translation to humans.

description: We critically discuss the problem of finding the $λ$-index $\mathcal{N}(λ)\in [0,1,\ldots,N]$ of a real symmetric matrix $\mathbf{M}$, defined as the number of eigenvalues smaller than $λ$, using the entries of $\mathbf{M}$ as only input. We show that a widely used formula $$ \mathcal{N}(λ)=\lim_{ε\to 0^+}\frac{1}{2π\mathrm{i}}\left[\log\det(\mathbf{M}-λ+\mathrm{i}ε)-\log\det(\mathbf{M}-λ-\mathrm{i}ε)\right] $$ based on the branch-cut structure of the complex logarithm should be handled with care, as it generically fails to produce the correct result if the same branch is chosen for the two logarithms. We improve the formula using multidimensional Fresnel integrals, showing that even the new version provides at most a self-consistency equation for $\mathcal{N}(λ)$, whose solution is not guaranteed to be unique. Our results are corroborated by explicit examples and numerical evaluations.

description: Η οσφυαλγία είναι μια κατάσταση η οποία προκαλεί πόνο, ανικανότητα και απουσία από την εργασία. Η θεραπεία McKenzie είναι μια μέθοδος θεραπείας η οποία απευθύνεται σε μηχανικό πόνο μη ειδικής αιτιολογίας. Ο σκοπός της εργασίας αυτής ήταν να αξιολογήσει την επίδραση της μεθόδου McKenzie στην κινητικότητα της Σ.Σ. και την ισορροπία σε ασθενείς με οσφυαλγία. Στην έρευνα πήραν μέρος 30 άσθενείς με οσφυαλγία ηλικίας έως 55 ετών των οποίων τα συμπτώματα δεν ήταν παρόντα για παραπάνω από 3 μήνες (οξύ και υποξύ στάδιο). Το δείγμα χωρίστηκε τυχαία σε δύο ομάδες. Η πρώτη εφάρμοσε πρόγραμμα της μηχανικής διάγνωσης και θεραπείας το οποίο περιλάμβανε εκτάσεις από την πρηνή και την όρθια θέση και διήρκησε 6 εβδομάδες. Η δεύτερη ομάδα ακολούθησε πρόγραμμα θεραπείας με μηχανήματα φυσικοθεραπείας, δηλαδή διαθερμία, TENS και υπέρηχο. Αξιολογήθηκε η κυρτότητα και η κινητικότητα της Σπονδυλικής Στήλης και η ισορροπία στη όρθια στάση. Χρησιμοποιήθηκε η ανάλυση διακύμανσης για επαναλαμβανόμενες μετρήσεις ANOVA (repeated). Από τα αποτελέσματα της παρούσας έρευνας φαίνεται ότι η μέθοδος Mckenzie έχει θετική επίδραση στην κινητικότητα της Σπονδυλικής Στήλης, όχι όμως στην κυρτότητα, στην ισορροπία, στο λειτουργικό επίπεδο και στον πόνο των ασθενών με οσφυαλγία. Συνεπώς η μέθοδος Mckenzie βελτιώνει των κινητικότητα της Σπονδυλικής Στήλης χωρίς όμως να επιδρά σε σημαντικούς βιομηχανικούς παράγοντες όπως είναι η ισορροπία και η κυρτότητα της Σπονδυλικής Στήλης. Όσον αφορά το λειτουργικό επίπεδο και τον πόνο, φαίνεται να επηρεάζονται χωρίς όμως να αποδειχτεί στατιστικά σημαντική επίδραση.
description: Low back pain is a condition which causes pain, disability and absence from job. The Mckenzie method is a technique used to treat lumbar pain. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of Mckenzie method on spinal mobility and postural balance in patients with lumbar pain. Thirty patients with lumbar pain (age< 55) whose symptoms were not present for more than 3 months (acute and subacute stage) participated in this study. The sample was randomly divided into two groups. The first group followed a program with Mckenzie exercises while the second group followed a traditional physiotherapy program. The duration of therapeutic intervention was 6 weeks. For the evaluation of spinal mobility we used a SpinalMouse system while stastic balance was measured using a pressure platform. Analysis of variance for repeated measures designs showed that Mckenzie method had positive influence in the spinal mobility, but not in balance at patients with lumbar pain. It is concluded that Μckenzie method was more effective in improving spinal mobility than traditional physiotherapy program was.
Localized Axion Photon States in a Strong Magnetic Field

description: We consider the axion field and electromagnetic waves with rapid time dependence, coupled to a strong time independent, asymptotically approaching a constant at infinity "mean" magnetic field, which takes into account the back reaction from the axion field and electromagnetic waves with rapid time dependence in a time averaged way. The direction of the self consistent mean field is orthogonal to the common direction of propagation of the axion and electromagnetic waves with rapid time dependence and parallel to the polarization of these electromagnetic waves. Then, there is an effective U(1) symmetry mixing axions and photons. Using the natural complex variables that this U(1) symmetry suggests we find localized planar soliton solutions. These solutions appear to be stable since they produce a different magnetic flux than the state with only a constant magnetic field, which we take as our "ground state". The solitons also have non trivial U(1) charge defined before, different from the uncharged vacuum.

description: We describe a complete method that learns a neural network which is guaranteed to overestimate a reference function on a given domain. The neural network can then be used as a surrogate for the reference function. The method involves two steps. In the first step, we construct an adaptive set of Majoring Points. In the second step, we optimize a well-chosen neural network to overestimate the Majoring Points. In order to extend the guarantee on the Majoring Points to the whole domain, we necessarily have to make an assumption on the reference function. In this study, we assume that the reference function is monotonic. We provide experiments on synthetic and real problems. The experiments show that the density of the Majoring Points concentrate where the reference function varies. The learned over-estimations are both guaranteed to overestimate the reference function and are proven empirically to provide good approximations of it. Experiments on real data show that the method makes it possible to use the surrogate function in embedded systems for which an underestimation is critical; when computing the reference function requires too many resources.
