description: A new topology optimization method called the Proportional Topology Optimization (PTO) is presented. As a non-gradient method, PTO is simple to understand, easy to implement, and is also efficient and accurate at the same time. It is implemented into two MATLAB programs to solve the stress constrained and minimum compliance problems. Descriptions of the algorithm and computer programs are provided in detail. The method is applied to solve three numerical examples for both types of problems. The method shows comparable efficiency and accuracy with an existing gradient optimality criteria method. Also, the PTO stress constrained algorithm and minimum compliance algorithm are compared by feeding output from one algorithm to the other in an alternative manner, where the former yields lower maximum stress and volume fraction but higher compliance compared to the latter. Advantages and disadvantages of the proposed method and future works are discussed. The computer programs are self-contained and publicly shared in the website www.ptomethod.org.

description: We present the GALEX detection of a UV burst at the time of explosion of an optically normal Type II-P supernova (PS1-13arp) from the Pan-STARRS1 survey at z=0.1665. The temperature and luminosity of the UV burst match the theoretical predictions for shock breakout in a red supergiant, but with a duration a factor of ~50 longer than expected. We compare the $NUV$ light curve of PS1-13arp to previous GALEX detections of Type IIP SNe, and find clear distinctions that indicate that the UV emission is powered by shock breakout, and not by the subsequent cooling envelope emission previously detected in these systems. We interpret the ~ 1 d duration of the UV signal with a shock breakout in the wind of a red supergiant with a pre-explosion mass-loss rate of ~ 10^-3 Msun yr^-1. This mass-loss rate is enough to prolong the duration of the shock breakout signal, but not enough to produce an excess in the optical plateau light curve or narrow emission lines powered by circumstellar interaction. This detection of non-standard, potentially episodic high mass-loss in a RSG SN progenitor has favorable consequences for the prospects of future wide-field UV surveys to detect shock breakout directly in these systems, and provide a sensitive probe of the pre-explosion conditions of SN progenitors.

description: The recognition of information in floor plan data requires the use of detection and segmentation models. However, relying on several single-task models can result in ineffective utilization of relevant information when there are multiple tasks present simultaneously. To address this challenge, we introduce MuraNet, an attention-based multi-task model for segmentation and detection tasks in floor plan data. In MuraNet, we adopt a unified encoder called MURA as the backbone with two separated branches: an enhanced segmentation decoder branch and a decoupled detection head branch based on YOLOX, for segmentation and detection tasks respectively. The architecture of MuraNet is designed to leverage the fact that walls, doors, and windows usually constitute the primary structure of a floor plan's architecture. By jointly training the model on both detection and segmentation tasks, we believe MuraNet can effectively extract and utilize relevant features for both tasks. Our experiments on the CubiCasa5k public dataset show that MuraNet improves convergence speed during training compared to single-task models like U-Net and YOLOv3. Moreover, we observe improvements in the average AP and IoU in detection and segmentation tasks, respectively.Our ablation experiments demonstrate that the attention-based unified backbone of MuraNet achieves better feature extraction in floor plan recognition tasks, and the use of decoupled multi-head branches for different tasks further improves model performance. We believe that our proposed MuraNet model can address the disadvantages of single-task models and improve the accuracy and efficiency of floor plan data recognition.

description: Abstract
This study aims to examine the trajectory of monetary policy variables and financial liberalization in Algeria between 2005 and 2015. The findings of this study indicate that the financial liberalization indicators have a negative impact on monetary policy variables. This can be attributed to the slow pace of the liberalization process and the presence of financial restrictions in the Algerian economy, especially concerning exchange rate policy and capital movement controls. Additionally, the high liquidity in the economy has not had a positive influence on the objectives of monetary policy.

description: Over the last decade, we have performed in-beam experiments using Gammasphere + FMA to measure excited states in proton-rich Au, Hg, Tl and Pb isotopes. In these studies, the use of the FMA is essential in order to differentiate evaporation residues from the large fission background which dominates the reaction cross-section. In addition, we have found that using near-symmetric reactions at bombarding energies near the Coloumb barrier is beneficial in performing these studies. By keeping the bombarding energy low, fission is minimized and the reaction products are concentrated in only a few channels. New results have recently been obtained using the 90Zr+92Mo reaction to study shape co-existence in 181T1 via the lp evaporation channel. In addition, we have measured the total γ-ray energy and multiplicity associated with the surviving compund system, 179Au, following the fusion reaction, 90Zr + 89Y.

In this note, we give a detailed proof of the following inequality due to Gromov: $\text{K-cw}_2 (M) \le c \hat{\mathrm{A}}$-$\mathrm{cw}_2 (M)$, where $c$ is a dimensional constant.

description: Among the available methods for dating stars, gyrochronology is a powerful one because it requires knowledge of only the star's mass and rotation period. Gyrochronology relations have previously been calibrated using young clusters, with the Sun providing the only age dependence, and are therefore poorly calibrated at late ages. We used rotation period measurements of 310 Kepler stars with asteroseismic ages, 50 stars from the Hyades and Coma Berenices clusters and 6 field stars (including the Sun) with precise age measurements to calibrate the gyrochronology relation, whilst fully accounting for measurement uncertainties in all observable quantities. We calibrated a relation of the form $P=A^n\times(B-V-c)^b$, where $P$ is rotation period in days, $A$ is age in Myr, $B$ and $V$ are magnitudes and $a$, $b$ and $n$ are the free parameters of our model. We found $a = 0.40^{+0.3}_{-0.05}$, $b = 0.31^{+0.05}_{-0.02}$ and $n = 0.55^{+0.02}_{-0.09}$. Markov Chain Monte Carlo methods were used to explore the posterior probability distribution functions of the gyrochronology parameters and we carefully checked the effects of leaving out parts of our sample, leading us to find that no single relation beween rotation period, colour and age can adequately describe all the subsets of our data. The Kepler asteroseismic stars, cluster stars and local field stars cannot all be described by the same gyrochronology relation. The Kepler asteroseismic stars may be subject to observational biases, however the clusters show unexpected deviations from the predicted behaviour, providing concerns for the overall reliability of gyrochronology as a dating method.

description: The identification of single-particle states in heavy actinide nuclei by means of studying their decay schemes plays a seminal role in understanding the structure of the heaviest elements and testing the predictive power of modern theoretical models. The heaviest odd-mass nuclides available in sufficient quantity for detailed decay spectroscopic studies are 20-h 255Fm (for neutrons) and 20-d 253Es (for protons). Decay spectra of these isotopes, together with those for the odd-odd 276-d 254Es nuclide, were measured using a variety of α-particle and γ-ray spectroscopy techniques. Well-defined decay data are also essential pre-requisites for the detection and accurate characterization of fissile radionuclides. The parameters of greatest relevance include actinide half- lives, branching fractions, and α-particle and γ-ray energies and emission probabilities. Their quantification to good accuracy provides the means of monitoring their presence, behavior and transport in nuclear facilities as well as any clandestine movement and usage. As a consequence of recommendations made at recent IAEA research coordination meetings on "Updated Decay Data Library for Actinides", measurements were undertaken to determine specific decay data of the more inadequately defined radionuclides.

title: Polynomials for Multidimensional Provenance in Graph Databases
Creators: name: Liu, Tianyi
Publisher: name: Concordia University Library
Year: 2021

description: In this thesis, we study the provenance of querying graph databases. Compared to using the semiring of polynomials as the most general form of provenance for relational databases (Green, Karvounarakis, & Tannen, 2007), we show that the most general provenance for querying graph databases can be represented by regular expressions over paths in the database. In this work we focus on the single-source provenance, which is a more general representation and contains more information than the single-source, single-target problem considered in (Ramusat, Maniu, & Senellart, 2018). We present an algorithm that computes single-source multidimensional provenances for graph databases, where each dimension represents an application provenance semiring, and also propose a potential application, by using parse tree techniques and deriving results for various application provenances.
Discrete Versus Continuous Algorithms in Dynamics of Affective Decision Making

description: The dynamics of affective decision making is considered for an intelligent network composed of agents with different types of memory: long-term and short-term memory. The consideration is based on probabilistic affective decision theory, which takes into account the rational utility of alternatives as well as the emotional alternative attractiveness. The objective of this paper is the comparison of two multistep operational algorithms of the intelligent network: one based on discrete dynamics and the other on continuous dynamics. By means of numerical analysis, it is shown that, depending on the network parameters, the characteristic probabilities for continuous and discrete operations can exhibit either close or drastically different behavior. Thus, depending on which algorithm is employed, either discrete or continuous, theoretical predictions can be rather different, which does not allow for a uniquely defined description of practical problems. This finding is important for understanding which of the algorithms is more appropriate for the correct analysis of decision-making tasks. A discussion is given, revealing that the discrete operation seems to be more realistic for describing intelligent networks as well as affective artificial intelligence.

description: This article provides the details on the technical derivation of the gravitational waveform and total gravitational-wave energy flux of non-spinning compact binary systems to the 4PN (fourth post-Newtonian) order beyond the Einstein quadrupole formula. In particular: (i) we overview the link between the radiative multipole moments measured at infinity and the source moments in the framework of dimensional regularization; (ii) we compute special corrections to the source moments due to 'infrared' commutators arising at the 4PN order; (iii) we derive a 'post-adiabatic' correction needed to evaluate the tail integral with 2.5PN relative precision; (iv) we discuss the relation between the binary's orbital frequency in quasi-circular orbit and the gravitational-wave frequency measured at infinity; (v) we compute the hereditary effects at the 4PN order, including those coming from the recently derived tails-of-memory; and (vi) we describe the various tests we have performed to ensure the correctness of the results. Those results are collected in an ancillary file.

description: A survey of heavy-ion fusion cross sections at extreme sub-barrier energies has been carried out for lighter systems with positive Q values. A general parametrization is proposed, which describes excitation functions for a wide range of light systems at low energies. This parametrization is then applied to a calculation of excitation functions and S factors for the system O16+O16, which has recently been investigated with various other theoretical approaches. It is suggested that this parametrization is useful for estimating sub-barrier fusion cross sections with exotic neutron-rich partners which cannot be studied in the laboratory.

description: Using a covariant formalism, we construct a chiral kinetic theory Lorentz invariant to order $\mathcal O(\hbar)$ which includes collisions. We find a new contribution to the particle number current due to the side jumps required by the conservation of angular momentum during collisions. We also find a conserved symmetric stress-energy tensor as well as the $H$-function obeying Boltzmann's $H$-theorem. We demonstrate their use by finding a general equilibrium solution and the values of the anomalous transport coefficients characterizing chiral vortical effect.

description: Three weakly populated high-spin rotational bands associated with the γ decay of Er159 and Er160 were observed in fusion-evaporation reactions involving a beam of Ca48 at an energy of 215 MeV incident on a Cd116 target. The γ decays were detected using the highly efficient Gammasphere spectrometer. The discovery of these bands, which extend discrete-line spectroscopy in these nuclei to ultrahigh spin of ∼ 60, is consistent with recent observations of high-spin collective structures in isotopes of Er, Yb, and Tm around N=90. Cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky calculations suggest that these bands may arise from well-deformed triaxial configurations with either positive or negative γ deformation.

description: The collective wobbling mode, the strongest signature for the rotation of a triaxial nucleus, has previously been seen only in a few Lu isotopes in spite of extensive searches in nearby isotopes. A sequence of transitions in the N=94 Ta167 nucleus exhibiting features similar to those attributed to the wobbling bands in the Lu nuclei has now been found. This band feeds into the πi13/2 band at a relative energy similar to that seen in the established wobbling bands and its dynamic moment of inertia and alignment properties are nearly identical to the i13/2 structure over a significant frequency range. Given these characteristics, it is likely that the wobbling mode has been observed for the first time in a nucleus other than Lu, making this collective motion a more general phenomenon.

description: The capabilities and use cases of automatic natural language processing (NLP) have grown significantly over the last few years. While much work has been devoted to understanding how humans deal with discourse connectives, this phenomenon is understudied in computational systems. Therefore, it is important to put NLP models under the microscope and examine whether they can adequately comprehend, process, and reason within the complexity of natural language. In this chapter, we introduce the main mechanisms behind automatic sentence processing systems step by step and then focus on evaluating discourse connective processing. We assess nine popular systems in their ability to understand English discourse connectives and analyze how context and language understanding tasks affect their connective comprehension. The results show that NLP systems do not process all discourse connectives equally well and that the computational processing complexity of different connective kinds is not always consistently in line with the presumed complexity order found in human processing. In addition, while humans are more inclined to be influenced during the reading procedure but not necessarily in the final comprehension performance, discourse connectives have a significant impact on the final accuracy of NLP systems. The richer knowledge of connectives a system learns, the more negative effect inappropriate connectives have on it. This suggests that the correct explicitation of discourse connectives is important for computational natural language processing.

description: Background: Lower global disability and higher quality of life among ischemic stroke patients was found to be associated with the dispatch of mobile stroke units (MSUs) among patients eligible for recanalizing treatments in the Berlin_Prehospital Or Usual Delivery of stroke care (B_PROUD) study. The current study assessed the cost-utility and cost-effectiveness of additional MSU dispatch using data from this prospective, controlled, intervention study. Methods: Outcomes considered in the economic evaluation included quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) derived from the 3-level version of EQ-5D (EQ-5D-3L) and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores for functional outcomes 3-months after stroke. Costs were prospectively collected during the study by the MSU provider (Berlin Fire Brigade) and the B_PROUD research team. We focus our results on the societal perspective. As we aimed to determine the economic consequences of the intervention beyond the study's follow-up period, both care costs and QALYs were extrapolated over 5 years. Results: The additional MSU dispatch resulted in an incremental €40,984 per QALY. The best-case scenario and the worst-case scenario yielded additional costs of, respectively, €24,470.76 and €61,690.88 per QALY. In the cost-effectiveness analysis, MSU dispatch resulted in incremental costs of €81,491 per survival without disability. The best-case scenario and the worst-case scenario yielded additional costs of, respectively, €44,455.30 and €116,491.15 per survival without disability. Interpretation: Among patients eligible for recanalizing treatments in ischemic stroke, MSU dispatch was associated with both higher QALYs and higher costs and is cost-effective when considering internationally accepted thresholds ranging from an additional €40,000 to €80,000 per QALY.

description: Abstract Water that has been used or contaminated by humans or the environment must undergo wastewater treatment in order to be returned to a usable state. The treatment may involve one or more of the following mechanisms: chemical, biological, physical, or a combination of these. Any level of purity can be achieved by treating water, but the expense increases as the purity increases. The needed water quality depends on the intended use of the water, such as irrigation, drinking water, or aquatic life. The purpose of research is to examine the wastewater treatment technology that is now most widely utilized. The technology selected for one application may not be the best for another. It is also easy to get, effective, and has the ability to breakdown contaminants. In this study, the use of waste water treatment technology to eliminate the most prevalent pollutants in wastewater—halogenated hydrocarbon compounds, heavy metals, dyes, pesticides, and herbicides is discussed.

description: We consider fifty transiting short-period giant planets for which eclipse depths have been measured at multiple infrared wavelengths. The aggregate dayside emission spectrum of these planets exhibits no molecular features, nor is brightness temperature greater in the near-infrared. We combine brightness temperatures at various infrared wavelengths to estimate the dayside effective temperature of each planet. We find that dayside temperatures are proportional to irradiation temperatures, indicating modest Bond albedo and no internal energy sources, plus weak evidence that dayside temperatures of the hottest planets are disproportionately high. We place joint constraints on Bond albedo, $A_{B}$, and day-to-night transport efficiency, $\varepsilon$, for six planets by combining thermal eclipse and phase variation measurements (HD 149026b, HD 189733b, HD 209458b, WASP-12b, WASP-18b, and WASP-43b). We confirm that planets with high irradiation temperatures have low heat transport efficiency, and that WASP-43b has inexplicably poor transport; these results are statistically significant even if the precision of single-eclipse measurements has been overstated by a factor of three. Lastly, we attempt to break the $A_{B}$-$\varepsilon$ degeneracy for nine planets with both thermal and optical eclipse observations, but no thermal phase measurements. We find a systematic offset between Bond albedos inferred from thermal phase variations ($A_{B} \approx 0.35$) and geometric albedos extracted from visible light measurements ($A_{g} \approx 0.1$). These observations can be reconciled if most hot Jupiters have clouds that reflect 30-50 per cent of incident near-infrared radiation, as well as optical absorbers in the cloud particles or above the cloud deck.

description: Event cameras are sensors inspired by biological systems that specialize in capturing changes in brightness. These emerging cameras offer many advantages over conventional frame-based cameras, including high dynamic range, high frame rates, and extremely low power consumption. Due to these advantages, event cameras have increasingly been adapted in various fields, such as frame interpolation, semantic segmentation, odometry, and SLAM. However, their application in 3D reconstruction for VR applications is underexplored. Previous methods in this field mainly focused on 3D reconstruction through depth map estimation. Methods that produce dense 3D reconstruction generally require multiple cameras, while methods that utilize a single event camera can only produce a semi-dense result. Other single-camera methods that can produce dense 3D reconstruction rely on creating a pipeline that either incorporates the aforementioned methods or other existing Structure from Motion (SfM) or Multi-view Stereo (MVS) methods. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for solving dense 3D reconstruction using only a single event camera. To the best of our knowledge, our work is the first attempt in this regard. Our preliminary results demonstrate that the proposed method can produce visually distinguishable dense 3D reconstructions directly without requiring pipelines like those used by existing methods. Additionally, we have created a synthetic dataset with $39,739$ object scans using an event camera simulator. This dataset will help accelerate other relevant research in this field.

description: Magnetization curves of two rectangular metal-organic coordination networks formed by the organic ligand TCNQ (7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane) and two different (Mn and Ni) 3d transition metal atoms [M(3d)] show marked differences that are explained using first principles density functional theory and model calculations. We find that the existence of a weakly dispersive hybrid band with M(3d) and TCNQ character crossing the Fermi level is determinant for the appearance of ferromagnetic coupling between metal centers, as it is the case of the metallic system Ni-TCNQ but not of the insulating system Mn-TCNQ. The spin magnetic moment localized at the Ni atoms induces a significant spin polarization in the organic molecule; the corresponding spin density being delocalized along the whole system. The exchange interaction between localized spins at Ni centers and the itinerant spin density is ferromagnetic. Based on two different model Hamiltonians, we estimate the strength of exchange couplings between magnetic atoms for both Ni- and Mn-TCNQ networks that results in weak ferromagnetic and very weak antiferromagnetic correlations for Ni- and Mn-TCNQ networks, respectively.

description: The objective of this article is to evaluate media development in Mexico using the subnational logic to understand the differences between regions and states. The methodology is based on the analysis of the principal components and clusters to study 23 variables theoretically linked in the 32 states of the country. The results allow identifying five clusters; each group presents internal similarities from their social and media context and notable dissimilarities from the rest of the clusters. The central contribution is to describe the differences in which some indicators of media development are presented in several regional contexts of the country. In conclusion, the progress made formulating an evaluative model for Mexico is highlighted, and the limitations of the metrics used are recognized. The production of specialized statistics in the future is desirable.

description: A technically simple and physically clear method is suggested for the direct measurement of brightness temperature of two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in the channel of a high electron mobility transistor (HEMT). The usage of the method was demonstrated with the pseudomorphic HEMT as a specimen. The optimal HEMT dc regime, from the point of view of the "back action" problem, was found to belong to the unsaturated area of the static characteristics possibly corresponding to the ballistic electron transport mode. The proposed method is believed to be a convenient tool to explore the ballistic transport, electron diffusion, 2DEG properties and other electrophysical processes in the heterostructures.

description: The yrast structure of the neutron-rich nucleus 97Zr has been studied using fission of target-like products in the reaction of a 48Ca beam on a thick 238U target. The level scheme known from the previous studies up to an energy and spin of approx. 4619 keV and 23/2-, respectively, has been extended by about 3 MeV and a few units of angular momentum. The located structure can be discussed in terms of shell model configurations.

description: Scientific computing has experienced a surge empowered by advancements in technologies such as neural networks. However, certain important tasks are less amenable to these technologies, benefiting from innovations to traditional inference schemes. One such task is protein re-design. Recently a new re-design algorithm, AOBB-K*, was introduced and was competitive with state-of-the-art BBK* on small protein re-design problems. However, AOBB-K* did not scale well. In this work we focus on scaling up AOBB-K* and introduce three new versions: AOBB-K*-b (boosted), AOBB-K*-DH (with dynamic heuristics), and AOBB-K*-UFO (with underflow optimization) that significantly enhance scalability.

description: The yrast structure of the neutron-rich nucleus Zr97 has been studied using fission of targetlike products in the reaction of a Ca48 beam on a thick U238 target. The level scheme, known from previous studies up to an excitation energy and spin-parity of approximately 4619 keV and 23/2-, has been extended by about 3 MeV and a few units of angular momentum. Two states fed in the β decay of the 27/2- high-spin isomer in Y97 were identified at 5570 and 5606 keV. The located level structure can be discussed in terms of shell-model configurations.
Tuning the Ferroelectric Polarization in $AA^{\prime}$MnWO$_6$ Double Perovskites through $A$ Cation Substitution

description: Recent experimental and theoretical work has shown that the double perovskite NaLaMnWO$_6$ exhibits antiferromagnetic ordering owing to the Mn $d$ states, and computational studies further predict it to exhibit a spontaneous electric polarization due to an improper mechanism for ferroelectricity [King \textit{et al., Phys.\ Rev.\ B}, 2009, \textbf{79}, 224428; Fukushima \textit{et al., Phys.\ Chem.\ Chem.\ Phys.}, 2011, \textbf{13}, 12186], which make it a candidate multiferroic material. Using first-principles density functional calculations, we investigate nine isostructural and isovalent $AA^{\prime}$MnWO$_6$ double perovskites ($A$=Na, K, and Rb; $A^{\prime}$=La, Nd, and Y) with the aim of articulating crystal-chemistry guidelines describing how to enhance the magnitude of the electric polarization through chemical substitution of the $A$-site while retaining long-range magnetic order. We find that the electric polarization can be enhanced by up to 150\% in compounds which maximize the difference in the ionic size of the $A$ and $A^{\prime}$ cations. By examining the tolerance factors, bond valences, and structural distortions (described by symmetry-adapted modes) of the nine compounds, we identify the atomic scale features that are strongly correlated with the ionic and electronic contributions to the electric polarization. We also find that each compound exhibits a purely electronic remnant polarization, even in the absence of a displacive polar mode. The analysis and design strategies presented here can be further extended to additional members of this family ($B$=Fe, Co, etc.), and the improper ferroelectric nature of the mechanism allows for the decoupling of magnetic and ferroelectric properties and the targeted design of novel multiferroics.

description: The heavy-ion, fusion-evaporation reaction C12(O16,n) was used to identify γ-decay transitions from excited states in Si27 above the proton threshold. The precise level energy measurements, Jπ assignments, and lifetime measurements of astrophysically important Al26m+p resonances have allowed an evaluation of the Al26m(p,γ)Si27 reaction rate. An lp=0 resonance has been newly identified at a center-of-mass energy in the Al26m+p system of 146.3(3) keV and is expected to dominate the rate for low stellar temperatures. In addition, an lp=1 resonance has been identified at 378.3(30) keV and is likely to dominate the rate at high astrophysical temperatures, such as those found in oxygen-neon novae and core-collapse supernovae.
