description: Transfer learning refers to machine learning techniques that focus on acquiring knowledge from related tasks to improve generalization in the tasks of interest. In MRI, transfer learning is important for developing strategies that address the variation in MR images. Additionally, transfer learning is beneficial to re-utilize machine learning models that were trained to solve related tasks to the task of interest. Our goal is to identify research directions, gaps of knowledge, applications, and widely used strategies among the transfer learning approaches applied in MR brain imaging. We performed a systematic literature search for articles that applied transfer learning to MR brain imaging. We screened 433 studies and we categorized and extracted relevant information, including task type, application, and machine learning methods. Furthermore, we closely examined brain MRI-specific transfer learning approaches and other methods that tackled privacy, unseen target domains, and unlabeled data. We found 129 articles that applied transfer learning to brain MRI tasks. The most frequent applications were dementia related classification tasks and brain tumor segmentation. A majority of articles utilized transfer learning on convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Only few approaches were clearly brain MRI specific, considered privacy issues, unseen target domains or unlabeled data. We proposed a new categorization to group specific, widely-used approaches. There is an increasing interest in transfer learning within brain MRI. Public datasets have contributed to the popularity of Alzheimer's diagnostics/prognostics and tumor segmentation. Likewise, the availability of pretrained CNNs has promoted their utilization. Finally, the majority of the surveyed studies did not examine in detail the interpretation of their strategies after applying transfer learning, and did not compare to other approaches.

description: We study collective wind configurations produced by a number of massive stars, and obtain densities and expansion velocities of the stellar wind gas that is to be target, in this model, of hadronic interactions. We study the expected $γ$-ray emission from these regions, considering in an approximate way the effect of cosmic ray modulation. We compute secondary particle production (electrons from knock-on interactions and electrons and positrons from charged pion decay), and solve the loss equation with ionization, synchrotron, bremsstrahlung, inverse Compton, and expansion losses. We provide examples where configurations can produce sources for GLAST satellite, and the MAGIC, HESS, or VERITAS telescopes in non-uniform ways, i.e., with or without the corresponding counterparts. We show that in all cases we studied no EGRET source is expected.

description: We have recently seen great progress in building photorealistic animatable full-body codec avatars, but generating high-fidelity animation of clothing is still difficult. To address these difficulties, we propose a method to build an animatable clothed body avatar with an explicit representation of the clothing on the upper body from multi-view captured videos. We use a two-layer mesh representation to register each 3D scan separately with the body and clothing templates. In order to improve the photometric correspondence across different frames, texture alignment is then performed through inverse rendering of the clothing geometry and texture predicted by a variational autoencoder. We then train a new two-layer codec avatar with separate modeling of the upper clothing and the inner body layer. To learn the interaction between the body dynamics and clothing states, we use a temporal convolution network to predict the clothing latent code based on a sequence of input skeletal poses. We show photorealistic animation output for three different actors, and demonstrate the advantage of our clothed-body avatars over the single-layer avatars used in previous work. We also show the benefit of an explicit clothing model that allows the clothing texture to be edited in the animation output.

description: Polarized pp elastic scattering at small angles in the Coulomb-nuclear interference (CNI) region offers a unique opportunity to study the spin structure of the Pomeron. Electromagnetic effects in elastic amplitude can be equivalently treated either as Coulomb corrections to the hadronic amplitude (Coulomb phase), or as absorption corrections to the Coulomb scattering amplitude. We perform the first calculation of the Coulomb phase for the spin-flip amplitude and found it significantly exceeding the widely used non-flip Coulomb phase. The alternative description in terms of absorption corrections, though equivalent, turned out to be a more adequate approach for the Coulomb corrected spin-flip amplitude. Inspired by the recent high statistics measurements of single-spin asymmetry in the fixed-target HJET experiment at the BNL, we also performed a Regge analysis of data, aiming at disentangling the Pomeron contribution. However, in spite of an exceptional accuracy of the data, they do not allow to single out the Pomeron term, which strongly correlates with the major sub-leading Reggeons. A stable solution can be accessed only by making additional ad hoc assumptions, e.g. assuming the Pomeron to be a simple Regge pole, or fixing some unknown parameters. Otherwise, in addition to the STAR data at $\sqrt{s}=$200 GeV new measurements, say at 100 GeV or 500 GeV, could become decisive.

Cathodoluminescence was used to quantitatively measure the wurtzite and zinc-blende band gaps. High resolution transmission electron microscopy was used to identify distinct wurtzite and zinc-blende crystalline phases within single nanowires through the use of selected area electron diffraction, electron dispersive spectroscopy, electron energy loss spectroscopy, and fast Fourier transform techniques. A mechanism for growth is identified.

description: Five-dimensional Gauss-Bonnet gravity, with one warped extra-dimension, allows classes of solutions where two scalar fields combine either in a kink-antikink system or in a trapping bag configuration. While the kink-antikink system can be interpreted as a pair of gravitating domain walls with opposite topological charges, the trapping bag solution consists of a domain wall supplemented by a non-topological defect. In both classes of solutions, for large absolute values of the bulk coordinate (i.e. far from the core of the defects), the geometry is given by five-dimensional anti-de Sitter space.

description: A phenomenological free energy model is proposed to describe the behavior of smectic liquid crystals, an intermediate phase that exhibits orientational order and layering at the molecular scale. Advantageous properties render the functional amenable to numerical simulation. The model is applied to a number of scenarios involving geometric frustration, leading to emergent structures such as focal conic domains and oily streaks and enabling detailed elucidation of the very rich energy landscapes that arise in these problems.

description: The content of the thesis was the examination of the legal meaning of “property identification” in the field of cadastre law. First of all, we examined the terms of property identification as well as the principle of property specification under the prism of property law and we reported accordingly their importance in the new environment of cadastre law. Furthermore, we analyzed the influence of the irrefutable presumption on property identification after the finalization of the initial registrations. We also criticized the model of the cadastre chosen for our country as well as the choice of the irrefutable presumption. We specifically examined the importance of the area of property as an element for its identification, especially after the changes in urban development law and the legalization of unlicensed construction. Finally, we identified the necessity that property identification in legal documents should fall in line with the property in real life as well as with the one depicted in its cadastral sheet. We concluded with certain solutions towards the above-mentioned goal.

Heat transfer model of the hot rolling runout table-cooling and coil cooling of steel
Creators: name: Hernandez-Avila, Victor Hugo
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The controlled cooling of steel strips is required to attain the high quality standards of flat-rolled steels employed in important industries such as the automobile, petro-chemical, house-appliances and construction. Strict control of the temperature of the strip during cooling in the hot-strip runout table is necessary, but little success has been reached in the optimization of the heat removal since no real understanding of the physical mechanisms involved has been attained. Given that the experimental measurements of the local heat-transfer coefficients may involve very complex procedures, the modeling of the boiling mechanisms is presented as the best way to obtain the local thermal response of steel strips during their processing, and mathematical models for the runout table and subsequent coil cooling are presented as powerful tools to predict the thermal and the microstructural response of the steel. The runout table model is unique in the sense that it is mechanistic in nature and predicts the local heat-transfer coefficients during cooling. The model adopts the extrapolation of the "macrolayer evaporation mechanism" into the forced-flow transition boiling regime. The analysis in terms of the nucleation process, fluid flow, liquid-solid contact area, and the liquid-vapor interface instability allow succesful prediction of pilotplant and full-scale operations and of the most fundamental microscopic parameters measured elsewhere. The liquid-solid contact found in the transition boiling regime is responsible for most of the heat released, and explains why previous assumptions with regard to film boiling failed to account for the effect of variables such as water temperature or strip velocity on the cooling process. This study shows that bottom jet cooling is much lower than top cooling not only because of the smaller contact but also because of the inherently lower stability of the liquid-vapor interface of the latter.

description: We outline a novel satellite mission concept, DEMON, aimed at advancing our comprehension of both dark matter and dark energy, taking full advantage of two complementary methods: weak lensing and the statistics of galaxy clusters. We intend to carry out a 5000 sqdeg combined IR, optical and X-ray survey with galaxies up to a redshift of z~2 in order to determine the shear correlation function. We will also find ~100000 galaxy clusters, making it the largest survey of this type to date. The DEMON spacecraft will comprise one IR/optical and eight X-ray telescopes, coupled to multiple cameras operating at different frequency bands. To a great extent, the technology employed has already been partially tested on ongoing missions, therefore ensuring improved reliability.

Πιο συγκεκριμένα, έγινε προσπάθεια να γίνει αντιληπτός ο τρόπος που προσεγγίζεται η διδασκαλία της γραμματικής, μέσω του κειμενικού τύπου της αφήγησης, επικρατέστερος στα σχολικά βιβλία του μαθήματος αυτού. Η θεωρητική μας αφετηρία έγκειται στο γεγονός ότι κάθε αλλαγή στην εκπαίδευση δεν είναι ιδεολογικά ουδέτερη αλλά φορέας των επιδιώξεων της διδασκαλίας της γλώσσας, που γίνεται απτή μέσω των σχολικών εγχειριδίων. Με την εφαρμογή ποικίλων προσεγγίσεων από την υπάρχουσα βιβλιογραφία, αναλύουμε τα σχολικά βιβλία ως αλυσίδες μακροκειμενικών ειδών, διδακτικών συμβάντων και υποσυμβάντων, που διατρέχονται από συγκεκριμένους λόγους. Το γενικότερο συμπέρασμα, το οποίο αναδείχθηκε βάσει της ανάλυσης, είναι ότι και τα σύγχρονα γλωσσικά σχολικά εγχειρίδια αντλούν από παραδοσιακές γλωσσοδιδακτικές προσεγγίσεις για την γραμματική και την παραγωγή αφηγηματικού λόγου, ενώ δεν λείπουν και κάποιες διάσπαρτες εκφράσεις επικοινωνιακών και κειμενοκεντρικών αντιλήψεων. Τα στοιχεία αυτά, οδηγούν κατά βάση στη διαμόρφωση ταυτοτήτων περιορισμένου γραμματισμού, που περιλαμβάνει συγκεκριμένες γνώσεις για τα κείμενα, τη γλώσσα αλλά και τον κόσμο, εφόσον η βαρύτητα δίνεται στην απόκτηση του σχολικού γραμματισμού, μέσω της εξοικείωσης των μαθητών με τις πρακτικές του σχολικού λόγου.
description: The subject of this thesis is studying the way in which the (Greek) language course is carried out at last three classes of the Greek elementary school system, through the school language manuals. More specifically, an attempt has been made to understand the way in which grammar teaching is approached through the textual type of narrative, which is dominant in the textbooks of this lesson. Our theoretical departure point lies within the notion that any change in education is not ideologically neutral but it’s a way to reveal the goals of language teaching, through school textbooks. By implementing multiple approaches from existing literature, we analyze textbooks as macrogenres and teaching events that consist of specific discourses. The general conclusion brought out by the analysis, is that modern language textbooks are based on traditional linguistic approaches about grammar and narrative texts while some interspersed expressions of communicative and text-centered views are present as well. These elements mainly lead to the formation of limited literacy identities, containing specific knowledge about texts, language and the world, since the focus is brought into acquiring the school literacy, by familiarizing students with practices of school speech.

description: We generalize the Jensen-Shannon divergence by considering a variational definition with respect to a generic mean extending thereby the notion of Sibson's information radius. The variational definition applies to any arbitrary distance and yields another way to define a Jensen-Shannon symmetrization of distances. When the variational optimization is further constrained to belong to prescribed probability measure families, we get relative Jensen-Shannon divergences and symmetrizations which generalize the concept of information projections. Finally, we discuss applications of these variational Jensen-Shannon divergences and diversity indices to clustering and quantization tasks of probability measures including statistical mixtures.

description: We examine a strong/weak duality between a Heisenberg coset of a theory with $\mathfrak{sl}_n$ subregular $\mathcal{W}$-algebra symmetry and a theory with a $\mathfrak{sl}_{n|1}$-structure. In a previous work, two of the current authors provided a path integral derivation of correlator correspondences for a series of generalized Fateev-Zamolodchikov-Zamolodchikov (FZZ-)duality. In this paper, we derive correlator correspondences in a similar way but for a different series of generalized duality. This work is a part of the project to realize the duality of corner vertex operator algebras proposed by Gaiotto and Rapčák and partly proven by Linshaw and one of us in terms of two dimensional conformal field theory. We also examine another type of duality involving an additional pair of fermions, which is a natural generalization of the fermionic FZZ-duality. The generalization should be important since a principal $\mathcal{W}$-superalgebra appears as its symmetry and the properties of the superalgebra are less understood than bosonic counterparts.

The removal of cobalt from zinc sulphate electrolytes using the copper-antimoney process
Creators: name: Lew, Richard W.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: At Cominco's zinc refinery located at Trail, British Columbia, impurities are removed from zinc sulphate electrolyte by a two stage purification process using zinc dust. Copper, cadmium and thallium are removed in the first stage whereas cobalt is removed in the second stage. Cobalt removal kinetics are affected by soluble antimony and copper additions to the electrolyte. This study was focused on the kinetics of cobalt removal by zinc powder cementation. Experimental variables included copper and antimony concentrations, pH and temperature. Common organic additives employed in zinc plants were studied to determine potential interactions with the cobalt removal process. Cementation products obtained from laboratory experiments and plant practice were studied using the SEM. A number of significant findings were observed. 1) Cobalt removal was extremely slow in the absence of any activators in solution. Batch testing have shown that antimony activation performed better than copper activation, but the addition of both copper and antimony together increased the rate of cobalt removal significantly. Copper and antimony ions were essentially removed from solution during the early stages of the cementation reaction (within the first 15 minutes), presumably, establishing the cathode surface for cobalt removal. 2) The cobalt removal rate constant increased with increasing temperature, and the highest rate was obtained at 90°C (the highest temperature tested). An apparent energy of activation of 86.6 kJ/mol was calculated for this system, and this value was consistent with activation controlled processes. 3) pH significantly affected the cobalt cementation rate constant. Too low a pH (<4.0) increases the rate of the competing hydrogen reduction reaction and too high a pH (>4.0) can result in passivation of the residue's surface. In both these extreme ranges, cobalt removal was detrimentally affected. 4) A drop in the cobalt removal rates can be correlated with a rise in the E^ of the slurry. Lignin sulphonate, Percol 351 and animal glue at levels of 2 mg/L significantly impede cobalt cementation. 5) SEM analyses of the cementation residues have shown that the activation agents and the cobalt impurity was collected onto an impurity shell surrounding the dissolving zinc particle. This shell consisted mainly of Zn and minor constituents of Co, Cu and Sb.

description: Background and objectives. A dramatic growth in the prevalence of chronic wounds due to diabetes has represented a serious global health care and economic issue. Hence, there is an imperative need to develop an effective and affordable wound dressing for chronic wounds. Recent research has featured the potential of bioactive compound gallic acid (GA) in the context of wound recovery due to their safety and comparatively low cost. However, there is a scarcity of research which focuses on formulating GA into a stable and functional hydrocolloid film dressing. Thus, this present study aimed to formulate and characterise GA-loaded alginate (SA) based hydrocolloid film dressing which is potentially used as low to medium suppurating chronic wound treatment. Methods. Firstly, the hydrocolloid composite films were pre-formulated by blending sodium alginate (SA) with different combinations of polymers. The hydrocolloid films were developed using solvent-casting method and the most satisfactory film formulation was further incorporated with various GA concentrations (0.1%, 0.5% and 1%). The drug-loaded films were then characterised for their physicochemical properties to assess their potential use as drug delivery systems for chronic wound treatment. Results. In the pre-formulation studies, alginate-pectin (SA-PC) based hydrocolloid film was found to be the most satisfactory, for being homogenous and retaining smoothness on surface along with satisfactory film flexibility. The SA-PC film was chosen for further loading with GA in 0.1%, 0.5% and 1%. The characterisation studies revealed that all GA-loaded films possess superior wound dressing properties of acidic pH range (3.97-4.04), moderate viscosity (1600 mPa-s-3198 mPa-s), optimal MVTR (1195 g/m2/day, 1237g/m2/day and 1112 g/m2/day), slower moisture absorption and film expansion rate and no chemical interaction between the GA and polymers under FTIR analysis. Conclusion. An alginate-pectin (SA-PC) hydrocolloid film incorporated with gallic acid as a potentially applicable wound dressing for low to medium suppurating chronic wounds was successfully developed.

description: In a rather contradictory situation regarding magnetic data on Co-doped ZnO, we have succeeded in fabricating high-quality single crystalline Zn1-xCoxO (x=0.003-0.07) thin films. This gives us the possibility, for the first time, to examine the it intrinsic magnetic properties of ZnO:Co at a quantitative level and therefore to address several unsolved problems, the major one being the nature of the Co-Co interaction in the ZnO structure.

description: In an Ebola management centre in Sierra Leone, information regarding patients and their treatments was communicated by shouting over the fence of the quarantined area. The aim of this project is to improve patient outcomes by utilising technology to save clinician time in Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and to collect more, high quality data.The project has seen enthusiastic adoption by medics, including national staff and anecdotally seems to result in more patient data being recorded. However it wasn't possible to evaluate the system rigorously due to drop in patient numbers.

description: We establish a framework which allows one to construct novel schemes for measurement-based quantum computation. The technique further develops tools from many-body physics - based on finitely correlated or projected entangled pair states - to go beyond the cluster-state based one-way computer. We identify resource states that are radically different from the cluster state, in that they exhibit non-vanishing correlation functions, can partly be prepared using gates with non-maximal entangling power, or have very different local entanglement properties. In the computational models, the randomness is compensated in a different manner. It is shown that there exist resource states which are locally arbitrarily close to a pure state. Finally, we comment on the possibility of tailoring computational models to specific physical systems as, e.g. cold atoms in optical lattices.

description: The paper addresses a sequential changepoint detection problem, assuming that the duration of change may be finite and unknown. This problem is of importance for many applications, e.g., for signal and image processing where signals appear and disappear at unknown points in time or space. In contrast to the conventional optimality criterion in quickest change detection that requires minimization of the expected delay to detection for a given average run length to a false alarm, we focus on a reliable maximin change detection criterion of maximizing the minimal probability of detection in a given time (or space) window for a given local maximal probability of false alarm in the prescribed window. We show that the optimal detection procedure is a modified CUSUM procedure. We then compare operating characteristics of this optimal procedure with popular in engineering the Finite Moving Average (FMA) detection algorithm and the ordinary CUSUM procedure using Monte Carlo simulations, which show that typically the later algorithms have almost the same performance as the optimal one. At the same time, the FMA procedure has a substantial advantage -- independence to the intensity of the signal, which is usually unknown. Finally, the FMA algorithm is applied to detecting faint streaks of satellites in optical images.

Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) and maternal health: a retrospective analysis of an outbreak in South Sudan
Creators: name: Harrison, Tim
Publisher: name: F1000Research
Year: 2015

description: The conflict in South Sudan started in December 2013. Civil war has largely followed ethnic lines (Dinka vs Nuer), and continues until today. This has led to large population displacements in key areas around the country and a breakdown in healthcare services. Many internally displaced persons (IDPs) fled into areas endemic for the parasitological disease visceral leishmaniasis, such as in Lankien, where we observed a large epidemic last year.Pregnancy and VL are thought to be mutually exacerbating

anaemia does not appear to improve during treatment of pregnant VL women, therefore more aggressive treatment for anaemia should be considered. Spleen evaluation appears to be a challenge and innovative ideas regarding the diagnosis of VL in pregnancy are needed. VL appears to lead to a high rate of still births. Further analysis of a larger dataset to be carried out.

description: We perform numerical simulations of lattice QCD with two flavors of dynamical overlap quarks, which have exact chiral symmetry on the lattice. While this fermion discretization is computationally demanding, we demonstrate the feasibility to simulate reasonably large and fine lattices by a careful choice of the lattice action and algorithmic improvements. Our production runs are carried out on a 16^3 \times 32 lattice at a single lattice spacing around 0.12 fm. We explore the sea quark mass region down to m_s/6, where m_s is the physical strange quark mass, for a good control of the chiral extrapolation in future calculations of physical observables. We describe in detail our setup and algorithmic properties of the production simulations and present results for the static quark potential to fix the lattice scale and the locality of the overlap operator.

description: We study the neutrino scattering off a rotating black hole with a realistic accretion disk permeated by an intrinsic magnetic field. Neutrino trajectories in curved spacetime as well as the particle spin evolution in dense matter of an accretion disk and in the magnetic field are accounted for exactly. We obtain the fluxes of outgoing ultrarelativistic neutrinos taking into account the change of the neutrino polarization owing to spin oscillations. Using the conservative value of the neutrino magnetic moment and realistic radial distributions of the matter density and the magnetic field strength, we get that these fluxes are reduced by several percent compared to the case when no spin oscillations are accounted for. In some situations, there are spikes in the neutrino fluxes because of the neutrino interaction with the rotating plasma of an accretion disk. Taking into account the uncertainties in the astrophysical neutrino fluxes, the predicted effects turn out to be quite small to be observed with the current neutrino telescopes.

description: COVID-19 has created shortages of personal protective equipment. In resource-constrained situations, limited cycles of disinfection and extended use of gloves is recommended by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to conserve supplies. However, these guidelines are based on limited evidence. In this study, serial cycles of hand hygiene were performed on gloved hands using an ethanol-based hand rub (six and ten cycles), 0.1% sodium hypochlorite (bleach) solution (ten cycles), or soap and water (ten cycles) on latex and nitrile medical exam gloves from the United States and India. A modified water-leak test evaluated glove integrity after repeated applications of these disinfecting agents. When aggregated, dilute bleach demonstrated the lowest difference between treatment and control arms: -2.5 percentage points (95% CI: -5.3 to 0.3) for nitrile, 0.6 percentage points (95% CI: -2.6 to 3.8) for non-powdered latex. For U.S.-purchased gloves tested with six and ten applications of ethanol-based hand rub, the mean difference in failure risk between treatment and control gloves was within the prespecified non-inferiority margin of five percentage points or less, though some findings were inconclusive since outside the margin. The aggregated difference in failure risk between treatment and control was 3.5 percentage points (0.6 to 6.4) for soap and water, and 2.3 percentage points (-0.5 to 5.0) and 5.0 percentage points (1.8 to 8.2) for 10 and 6 applications of ethanol-based hand rub, respectively. Most leaks occurred in the interdigital webs (35%) and on the fingers (34%). This indicates that some combinations of glove types and disinfection methods may allow for extended use. Ten applications of dilute bleach solution had the least impact on glove integrity. However, the majority of glove and exposure combinations were inconclusive. Additional testing of specific glove and disinfectant combinations may inform future strategies to guide extended use during glove shortages. Additional considerations, not evaluated here, include duration of use, disinfectant chemical permeation, and the effects of hand temperature, movement, and manipulation of instruments on glove integrity.

description: Since 2010, WHO has recommended oral cholera vaccines as an additional strategy for cholera control and has prequalified 2 OCV. Pregnant women are at high risk of complications and the risk of foetal death has been reported as 2-36% during a cholera episode. But due to a lack of safety data, pregnant women have been excluded from most OCV campaigns.In 2012, reactive campaigns using Shanchol were implemented in Guinea with the support of MSF-OCG in Boffa and Forecariaah prefectures. All people ≥1 year were targeted, regardless of pregnancy status. In our study, we aimed to determine whether there was a difference in pregnancy outcomes between vaccinated and unvaccinated pregnant women.There are several important limitations of note, First the number of negative events was low and the vaccine coverage was higher than expected, leading to a low number of non-exposed fetuses. This issue reduced the power of our analysis to detect statistical differences. Second, we might have suffer from information bias, typical of retrospective studies. Concerning the outcome, few pregnancy losses could be verified on official documentation. As the number of pregnancy losses is low, this declaration bias could potentially affect our point estimates, being difficult to determine in which direction. Concerning the exposure, less than 25% of the women could show a vaccination card. The incidence of stillbirth was higher among women who could show a card to confirm they were vaccinated than among the women who orally reported to be vaccinated. This information bias could therefore have diluted the risk of stillbirth among exposed fetuses. To understand further the potential presence of information bias, we conducted a supplementary bias-indicator analysis. The risk was not significantly different between vaccinated and unvaccinated women.

description: The gravitational dynamics of a collapsing matter configuration which is simultaneously radiating heat flux is studied in $f(R)$ gravity. Three particular functional forms in $f(R)$ gravity are considered to show that it is possible to envisage boundary conditions such that the end state of the collapse has a weak singularity and that the matter configuration radiates away all of its mass before collapsing to reach the central singularity.
