description: The structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of ultrathin Cu-coated Co nanowires have been studied by using empirical genetic algorithm simulations and a tight-binding spd model Hamiltonian in the unrestricted Hartree-Hock approximation. For some specific stoichiometric compositions, Cu atoms occupy the surface, while Co atoms prefer to stay in the interior, forming the perfect coated multishell structures. The outer Cu layers lead to substantial variations of the magnetic moment of interior Co atoms, depending on the structure and thickness of Cu layers. In particular, single Co atom row in the center of nanowire is found to be nonmagnetic when coated with two Cu layers. All the other Co nanowires in the coated Cu shell are still magnetic but the magnetic moments are reduced as compared with Co nanowires without Cu coating. The interaction between Cu and Co atoms induces nonzero magnetic moment for Cu atoms.

description: We demonstrate the manipulation of transmitted light through an optical Fabry-Perot cavity, built around a spectroscopy cell containing enriched rubidium vapor. Light resonant with the $^{87}$Rb D$_{2}$ ($F=2/F=1$) $\leftrightarrow F'$ manifold, is controlled by transverse intersection of the cavity mode by another resonant light beam. The cavity transmission can be suppressed or enhanced depending on the coupling of atomic states due to the intersecting beams. The extreme manifestation of cavity mode control is the precipitious destruction (negative logic switching) or buildup (positive logic switching) of the transmitted light intensity, on intersection of the transverse control beam with the cavity mode. Both the steady state and transient response are experimentally investigated. The mechanism behind the change in cavity transmission is discussed in brief.

description: We consider univariate regression estimation from an individual (non-random) sequence (x1, y1), (x2, y2), . . . ∈ IR×IR, which is stable in the sense that for each interval A ⊆ IR, (i) the limiting relative frequency of A under x1, x2, . . . is governed by an unknown probability distribution μ, and (ii) the limiting average of those yi with xi ∈ A is governed by an unknown regression function m(·). A computationally simple scheme for estimating m(·) is exhibited, and is shown to be L2 consistent for stable sequences {(xi, yi)} such that {yi} is bounded and there is a known upper bound for the variation of m(·) on intervals of the form (−i, i], i ≥ 1. Complementing this positive result, it is shown that there is no consistent estimation scheme for the family of stable sequences whose regression functions have finite variation, even under the restriction that xi ∈ [0, 1] and yi is binary-valued.

description: In order to ease the process of library management many technologies have been adopted but most of them focus on inventory management. There has hardly been any progress of automation in the field of issuing and returning books to the library on time. In colleges and schools, hostellers often forget to timely return the issued books back to the library. To solve the above issue and to ensure timely submission of the issued books, this work develops a Book-Bot which solves these complexities. The bot can commute from point A to point B, scan and verify QR Codes and Barcodes. The bot will have a certain payload capacity for carrying books. The QR code and Barcode scanning will be enabled by a Pi Camera, OpenCV and Raspberry Pi, thus making the exchange of books safe and secure. The odometry maneuvers of the bot will be controlled manually via a Blynk App. This paper focuses on how human intervention can be reduced and automates the issue part of library management system with the help of a bot.

BACKGROUND: Although symptom and viral rebound have been reported after nirmatrelvir-ritonavir treatment, the trajectories of symptoms and viral load during the natural course of COVID-19 have not been well described. OBJECTIVE: To characterize symptom and viral rebound in untreated outpatients with mild to moderate COVID-19. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of participants in a randomized, placebo-controlled trial. (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT04518410). SETTING: Multicenter trial. PATIENTS: 563 participants receiving placebo in the ACTIV-2/A5401 (Adaptive Platform Treatment Trial for Outpatients With COVID-19) platform trial. MEASUREMENTS: Participants recorded the severity of 13 symptoms daily between days 0 and 28. Nasal swabs were collected for SARS-CoV-2 RNA testing on days 0 to 14, 21, and 28. Symptom rebound was defined as a 4-point increase in total symptom score after improvement any time after study entry. Viral rebound was defined as an increase of at least 0.5 log10 RNA copies/mL from the immediately preceding time point to a viral load of 3.0 log10 copies/mL or higher. High-level viral rebound was defined as an increase of at least 0.5 log10 RNA copies/mL to a viral load of 5.0 log10 copies/mL or higher. RESULTS: Symptom rebound was identified in 26% of participants at a median of 11 days after initial symptom onset. Viral rebound was detected in 31% and high-level viral rebound in 13% of participants. Most symptom and viral rebound events were transient, because 89% of symptom rebound and 95% of viral rebound events occurred at only a single time point before improving. The combination of symptom and high-level viral rebound was observed in 3% of participants. LIMITATION: A largely unvaccinated population infected with pre-Omicron variants was evaluated. CONCLUSION: Symptom or viral relapse in the absence of antiviral treatment is common, but the combination of symptom and viral rebound is rare.

description: Following the nonrelativistic QCD factorization scheme, by taking latest available measurement on $χ_b(3P)$ into consideration, we present an updated study on the yield and polarization of $Υ(1S,2S,3S)$ hadroproduction, and the fractions of $χ_b(mP)$ feed-down in $Υ(nS)$ production at QCD next-to-leading order. In the fitting, three schemes are applied with different choice of $χ_b(mP)$ feed-down ratios and NRQCD factorization scale. The results can explain the measurements on yield very well as in our previous work. The polarization puzzle to $Υ(3S)$ is now solved by considering the $χ_b(3P)$ feed-down contributions. The ratio of $σ[χ_{b2}(1P)]/σ[χ_{b1}(1P)]$ measurements from CMS can also be reproduced in our prediction. Among the different schemes, the results show little difference, but there are sizeable difference for the fitted long-distance color-octet matrix elements. It may bring large uncertainty when the values are applied in other experiments such as in $ee,~ep$ colliders.
Automatic Assessment of Singing
Creators: name: Puranik Ninad Vijay
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: This thesis aims to develop an automatic singing evaluation system specially suited to evaluate notes singing exercises. We build Hindustani singing datasets with a combined collection of audio samples of 349 reference and performance pairs. The samples are annotated with an overall grade based on pitch accuracy. For this purpose, we developed a GUI grading tool which provides a visual feedback for the performance. This tool helps reduce human biases in the grade annotations. The existing baseline system (BMCS) for singing assessment developed using Turkish Conservatory dataset (MAST dataset) is extensively studied to identify audio alignment as one of the possible areas of improvement. A methodology and appropriate metrics are devised to test the audio alignment performance. Using this methodology, different features are tested to demonstrate that an improved audio-to-audio alignment system can be achieved using a 120-dimensional HPCP feature. The second part of this study is focused on finding suitable features to assess a singing performance, given a good alignment of reference and student audio. A novel 'pitch-histogram cosine distance' feature is devised to measure note-level accuracy of singing. The effectiveness of these features with respect to the baseline features is shown by linear regression models trained and tested using the Hindustani and MAST datasets. The effectiveness of 'pitch-histogram cosine distance' is indicated by the low mean absolute errors and the interpretability of the linear models developed. These features are also used to provide a note-level accuracy visualization of student performance.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1987

description: Kernal density estimators are used for estimation of integrals of various squared derivatives of a probability density. Rates of convergence in mean squared error are calculated, which show that appropriate values of the smoothing parameter are much smaller than those for ordinary density estimation. The rate of convergence increases with stronger smoothness assumptions, however, unlike ordinary density estimation, the parametric rate of n-1 can be achieved even when only a finite amount of differentiability is assumed. The implications for data-driven bandwidth selection in ordinary density estimation are considered.

description: In this paper, we consider the linear theory for a model of a thermopiezoelectric nonsimple material adopting the entropy production inequality proposed by Green and Laws as presentated in Passarella (2022). We establish reciprocity theorems and a variational principle for homogeneous and anisotropic thermopiezoelectric nonsimple materials with a center of symmetry. The proof of these theorems use the time convolution product and an alternative formulation of the field equations. Moreover, a uniqueness result is established without using the definiteness assumptions on internal energy.

description: Ab initio electronic structure calculations based on density functional theory and tight-binding methods for the thermoelectric properties of p-type Sb$_2$Te$_3$ films are presented. The thickness-dependent electrical conductivity and the ther- mopower are computed in the diffusive limit of transport based on the Boltzmann equation. Contributions of the bulk and the surface to the transport coefficients are separated which enables to identify a clear impact of the topological surface state on the thermoelectric properties. By tuning the charge carrier concentration, a crossover between a surface-state-dominant and a Fuchs-Sondheimer transport regime is achieved. The calculations are corroborated by thermoelectric transport measurements on Sb$_2$Te$_3$ films grown by atomic layer deposition.

description: It is shown that there are no consistent decision rules for the hypothesis testing problem of distinguishing between absolutely continuous and purely singular probability distributions on the real line. In fact, there are no consistent decision rules for distinguishing between absolutely continuous distributions and distributions supported by Borel sets of Hausdorff dimension 0. It follows that there is no consistent sequence of estimators of the Hausdorff dimension of a probability distribution.

description: Short-range interaction can give rise to particle pairing with a short-range correlation, which may be destroyed in the presence of an external field. We study the transition between correlated and uncorrelated particle states in the framework of one-dimensional Hubbard model driven by a field. We show that the long time-scale transfer rate from an initial correlated state to final uncorrelated particle states is sensitive to the quench field strength and exhibits a periodic behavior. This process involves an irreversible energy transfer from the field to particles, leading to a quantum electrothermal effect.

description: This research proposes a method to detect alcohol consumption from Near-Infra-Red (NIR) periocular eye images. The study focuses on determining the effect of external factors such as alcohol on the Central Nervous System (CNS). The goal is to analyse how this impacts on iris and pupil movements and if it is possible to capture these changes with a standard iris NIR camera. This paper proposes a novel Fused Capsule Network (F-CapsNet) to classify iris NIR images taken under alcohol consumption subjects. The results show the F-CapsNet algorithm can detect alcohol consumption in iris NIR images with an accuracy of 92.3% using half of the parameters as the standard Capsule Network algorithm. This work is a step forward in developing an automatic system to estimate "Fitness for Duty" and prevent accidents due to alcohol consumption.

description: Operator fractional Brownian fields (OFBFs) are Gaussian, stationary-increment vector random fields that satisfy the operator self-similarity relation {X(cEt)}t∈RmL={cHX(t)}t∈Rm. We establish a general harmonizable representation (Fourier domain stochastic integral) for OFBFs. Under additional assumptions, we also show how the harmonizable representation can be reexpressed as a moving average stochastic integral, thus answering an open problem described in Bierme et al. (2007).

Significance analysis for pairwise variable selection in classification

Year: 2014

description: The goal of this article is to select important variables that can distinguish one class of data from another. A marginal variable selection method ranks the marginal effects for classi cation of individual variables, and is a useful and efficient approach for variable selection. Our focus here is to consider the bivariate effect, in addition to the marginal effect. In particular, we are interested in those pairs of variables that can lead to accurate classi cation predictions when they are viewed jointly. To accomplish this, we propose a permutation test called Signi cance test of Joint Effect (SigJEff). In the absence of joint effect in the data, SigJEff is similar or equivalent to many marginal methods. However, when joint effects exist, our method can signi cantly boost the performance of variable selection. Such joint effects can help to provide additional, and sometimes dominating, advantage for classi cation. We illustrate and validate our approach using both simulated example and a real glioblastoma multiforme data set, which provide promising results.

description: We propose and analyze a high fidelity readout scheme for a single instance approach to quantum computing in rare-earth-ion-doped crystals. The scheme is based on using different species of qubit and readout ions, and it is shown that by allowing the closest qubit ion to act as a readout buffer, the readout error can be reduced by more than an order of magnitude. The scheme is shown to be robust against certain experimental variations, such as varying detection efficiencies, and we use the scheme to predict the expected quantum fidelity of a CNOT gate in these solid state systems. In addition, we discuss the potential scalability of the protocol to larger qubit systems. The results are based on parameters which we believed are experimentally feasible with current technology, and which can be simultaneously realized.

description: We consider an special dynamics of a quantum walk (QW) on a line. Initially, the walker localized at the origin of the line with arbitrary chirality, evolves to an asymptotic stationary state. In this stationary state a measurement is performed and the state resulting from this measurement is used to start a second QW evolution to achieve a second asymptotic stationary state. In previous works, we developed the thermodynamics associated with the entanglement between the coin and position degrees of freedom in the QW. Here we study the application of the first and second laws of thermodynamics to the process between the two stationary states mentioned above. We show that: i) the entropy change has upper and lower bounds that are obtained analytically as a function of the initial conditions. ii) the energy change is associated to a heat-transfer process.

Tests for Gaussian repeated measures with missing data in small samples

Year: 2000

description: For small samples of Gaussian repeated measures with missing data, Barton and Cramer (1989) recommended using the EM algorithm for estimation and reducing the degrees of freedom for an analog of Rao's F approximation to Wilks' test. Computer simulations led to the conclusion that the modified test was slightly conservative for total sample size of N = 40. Here we consider additional methods and smaller sample sizes, N ∈ {12.24}. We describe analogs of the Pillai-Bartlett trace, Hotelling-Lawley trace and Geisser-Greenhouse corrected univariate tests which allow for missing data. Eleven sample size adjustments were examined which replace N by some function of the numbers of nonmissing pairs of responses in computing error degrees of freedom. Overall, simulation results allowed concluding that an adjusted test can always control test size at or below the nominal rate, even with as few as 12 observations and up to 10% missing data. The choice of method varies with the test statistic. Replacing N by the mean number of non-missing responses per variable works best for the Geisser-Greenhouse test. The Pillai-Bartlett test requires the stronger adjustment of replacing N by the harmonic mean number of non-missing pairs of responses. For Wilks' and Hotelling-Lawley, an even more aggressive adjustment based on the minimum number of non-missing pairs must be used.

Long Time Results for a Weakly Interacting Particle System in Discrete Time
Creators: name: Pal Majumder, Abhishek

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2015

description: We study long time behavior of a discrete time weakly interacting particle system, and the corresponding nonlinear Markov process in Rd, described in terms of a general stochastic evolution equation. In a setting where the state space of the particles is compact such questions have been studied in previous works, however for the case of an unbounded state space very few results are available. Under suitable assumptions on the problem data we study several time asymptotic properties of the N-particle system and the associated nonlinear Markov chain. In particular we show that the evolution equation for the law of the nonlinear Markov chain has a unique fixed point and starting from an arbitrary initial condition convergence to the fixed point occurs at an exponential rate. The empirical measure μNn of the N-particles at time n is shown to converge to the law μn of the nonlinear Markov process at time n, in the Wasserstein-1 distance, in L1, as N → ∞, uniformly in n. Several consequences of this uniform convergence are studied, including the interchangeability of the limits n → ∞ and N → ∞ and the propagation of chaos property at n = ∞. Rate of convergence of μNn to μn is studied by establishing uniform in time polynomial and exponential probability concentration estimates.

We then obtain an expression of the curvature tensor in terms of spatial quantities by splitting spacetime in (3+1)-dimensional form. We next write the Lagrangian of the gravitation field based in Weyl-type gravity theory. We extend the general relativistic formalism in such a way that it can be applied to investigate the quantum cosmology of models whose spacetimes are endowed with a Weyl geometrical structure.

Within an European Space Agency (ESA) program, the Space Optical Clocks (SOC) project aims to install and to operate an optical lattice clock on the International Space Station (ISS) towards the end of this decade. It would be a natural follow-on to the ACES mission, improving its performance by at least one order of magnitude. The payload is planned to include an optical lattice clock, as well as a frequency comb, a microwave link, and an optical link for comparisons of the ISS clock with ground clocks located in several countries and continents. Within the EU-FP7-SPACE-2010-1 project no. 263500, during the years 2011-2015 a compact, modular and robust strontium lattice optical clock demonstrator has been developed. Goal performance is a fractional frequency instability below 1x10^{-15}, tau^{-1/2} and a fractional inaccuracy below 5x10^{-17}. Here we describe the current status of the apparatus' development, including the laser subsystems. Robust preparation of cold {88}^Sr atoms in a second stage magneto-optical trap (MOT) is achieved.

description: When scientists are trying to uncover the causes of a given outcome, they often make use of statistical information. Thus, if scientists wanted to know whether there was a causal relationship between attending philosophy lectures and learning philosophy, they might randomly assign students to either attend or not attend certain lectures and then check to see whether those who attended the lectures ended up learning more philosophy than those who did not.

description: Existing studies on neural architecture search (NAS) mainly focus on efficiently and effectively searching for network architectures with better performance. Little progress has been made to systematically understand if the NAS-searched architectures are robust to privacy attacks while abundant work has already shown that human-designed architectures are prone to privacy attacks. In this paper, we fill this gap and systematically measure the privacy risks of NAS architectures. Leveraging the insights from our measurement study, we further explore the cell patterns of cell-based NAS architectures and evaluate how the cell patterns affect the privacy risks of NAS-searched architectures. Through extensive experiments, we shed light on how to design robust NAS architectures against privacy attacks, and also offer a general methodology to understand the hidden correlation between the NAS-searched architectures and other privacy risks.

Graphene-like Dirac states and Quantum Spin Hall Insulators in the square-octagonal MX2 (M=Mo, W; X=S, Se, Te) Isomers

description: We studied the square-octagonal lattice of the transition metal dichalcogenide MX$_2$ (with $M$=Mo, W; $X$=S, Se and Te), as an isomer of the normal hexagonal compound of MX$_2$. By band structure calculations, we observe the graphene-like Dirac band structure in a rectangular lattice of MX$_2$ with nonsymmorphic space group symmetry. Two bands with van Hove singularity points cross each at the Fermi energy, leading to two Dirac cones that locates at opposite momenta. Spin-orbit coupling can open a nontrivial gap at these Dirac points and induce the quantum spin Hall (QSH) phase, the 2D topological insulator. Here, square-octagonal MX$_2$ structures realize the interesting graphene physics, such as Dirac bands and QSH effect, in the transition metal dichalcogenides.

Ergodic theorems and the basis of science
Creators: name: Peterson, Karl
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1996

description: New results in ergodic theory show that averages of repeated measurements will typically diverge with probability one if there are random errors in the measurement of time. Since mean-square convergence of the averages is not so susceptible to these anomalies, we are led again to compare the mean and pointwise ergodic theorems and to reconsider efforts to determine properties of a stochastic process from the study of a generic sample path. There are also implications for models of time and the interaction between observer and observable.
Non-compact groups of inner type and factorization

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Representation Theory (math.RT)

description: We investigate Birkhoff (or triangular) factorization and (what we propose to call) root subgroup factorization for elements of a noncompact simple Lie group $G_0$ of inner type. For compact groups root subgroup factorization is related to Bott-Samelson desingularization, and many striking applications have been discovered by Lu (\cite{Lu}). In this paper, in the inner noncompact case, we obtain parallel characterizations of the Birkhoff components of $G_0$ and an analogous construction of root subgroup coordinates for the Birkhoff components. As in the compact case, we show that the restriction of Haar measure to the top Birkhoff component is a product measure in root subgroup coordinates.

description: We investigate the velocity distribution of elliptical galaxies in the framework of Non-local Gravity. According to this approach, it is possible to recover the fundamental plane of elliptical galaxies without the dark matter hypothesis. Specifically, we compare theoretical predictions for circular velocity in Non-local Gravity context with the corresponding values coming from a large sample of observed elliptical galaxies. We adopt the surface brightness, effective radius and velocity dispersion as structural parameters for the fundamental plane. As final result, it is possible to show that non-local gravity effects can reproduce the stellar dynamics in elliptical galaxies and fit consistently observational data.

Sudoku: Strategy versus Structure
Creators: name: Provan, J. Scott
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2009

description: Sudoku puzzles, and their variants, have become extremely popular in the last decade, and can now be found daily in most major U.S. newspapers. In addition to the countless books of Sudoku puzzles, there are many guides to Sudoku strategy and logic. (Some good references are the books, and the web pages. The reader is also directed to these for explanations of some of the terms mentioned throughout this discussion.) The purpose of this paper is to relate a common class of strategies, used to solve the vast majority of Sudoku puzzles, to the formulation of Sudoku puzzles as assignment problems and as linear programs. In particular, we give a simple characterization of this class, using a well-known graph theorem, and show further how the ability of this set of strategies to solve a Sudoku puzzle also implies that the solution can be represented as the unique nonnegative solution to a system of linear equations. These results provide excellent applications of principles commonly presented in introductory classes infinite mathematics and combinatorial optimization, and point as well to some interesting open research problems in the area.

description: The traditional apriori algorithm can be used for clustering the web documents based on the association technique of data mining. But this algorithm has several limitations due to repeated database scans and its weak association rule analysis. In modern world of large databases, efficiency of traditional apriori algorithm would reduce manifolds. In this paper, we proposed a new modified apriori approach by cutting down the repeated database scans and improving association analysis of traditional apriori algorithm to cluster the web documents. Further we improve those clusters by applying Fuzzy C-Means (FCM), K-Means and Vector Space Model (VSM) techniques separately. For experimental purpose, we use Classic3 and Classic4 datasets of Cornell University having more than 10,000 documents and run both traditional apriori and our modified apriori approach on it. Experimental results show that our approach outperforms the traditional apriori algorithm in terms of database scan and improvement on association of analysis. We found out that FCM is better than K-Means and VSM in terms of F-measure of clusters of different sizes.
