Multivariate linear rank statistics for profile analysis
Creators: name: Chinchilli, Vernon M.
name: Sen, Pranag Kumar
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1982

description: For some general multivariate linear models, linear rank statistics are used in conjunction with Roy's Union-Intersection Principle to develop some tests for inference on the parameter (vector) when they are subject to certain linear constraints. More powerful tests are designed by incorporating the a priori information on these constraints. Profile analysis is an important application of this type of hypothesis testing problem; it consists of a set of hypothesis testing problem for the p responses q-sample model, where it is a priori assumed that the response-sample interactions are null.

description: In an earlier paper we have analytically determined the photon regions and the shadows of black holes of the Plebański class of metrics which are also known as the Kerr--Newman--NUT--(anti-)deSitter metrics. These metrics are characterized by six parameters: mass, spin, electric and magnetic charge, gravitomagnetic NUT charge, and the cosmological constant. Here we extend this analysis to the Plebański--Demiański class of metrics which contains, in addition to these six parameters, the so-called acceleration parameter. All these metrics are axially symmetric and stationary type D solutions to the Einstein--Maxwell equations with a cosmological constant. We derive analytical formulas for the photon regions (i.e., for the regions that contain spherical lightlike geodesics) and for the boundary curve of the shadow as it is seen by an observer at Boyer--Lindquist coordinates $(r_O, \vartheta _O)$ in the domain of outer communication. Whereas all relevant formulas are derived for the whole Plebański--Demiański class, we concentrate on the accelerated Kerr metric (i.e., only mass, spin and acceleration parameter are different from zero) when discussing the influence of the acceleration parameter on the photon region and on the shadow in terms of pictures. The accelerated Kerr metric is also known as the rotating $C$-metric. We discuss how our analytical formulas can be used for calculating the horizontal and vertical angular diameters of the shadow and we estimate these values for the black holes at the center of our Galaxy and at the center of M87.

Subjects: Economics

description: Understanding public debt enables policymakers of countries to devise measures on how to create sound decisions to reduce, if not fully eradicate it. This paper explores the economic, social and institutional determinants of public debt in the ASEAN+3. Specifically, this paper looks at how the GDP per capita, balance of payments, unemployment rate, poverty headcount ratio, gini index, and corruption perception index contribute to the public debt of the ASEAN+3. Constructing a fixed-effects panel regression model of the ASEAN+3’s debt to GDP ratio by the three determinants, the results show that the social and institutional determinants were statistically significant in affecting the ASEAN+3’s public debt. For the social determinants, unemployment and gini index has positive effects while poverty headcount ratio has negative effects on the public debt in ASEAN+3. For the institutional determinant, the researcher found that the corruption perception index of the ASEAN+3 has positive effects on its public debt.

description: The electron-transport properties of adatom-graphene system are investigated for different (random, correlated, and ordered) spatial configurations of adatoms over different types of high symmetry sites with various adsorption heights. K adatoms in monolayer graphene are modeled by the scattering potential adapted from the independent self-consistent ab initio calculations. The results are obtained numerically using the quantum-mechanical Kubo-Greenwood formalism. A band gap may be opened only if ordered adatoms act as substitutional atoms, while there is no band gap opening for adatoms acting as interstitial atoms. The type of adsorption sites strongly affect the conductivity for random and correlated adatoms, but practically does not change the conductivity when they form ordered superstructures with equal periods. Depending on electron density and type of adsorption sites, the conductivity for correlated and ordered adatoms is found to be enhanced in dozens of times as compared to the cases of their random positions. These the correlation and ordering effects manifest weaker or stronger depending on whether adatoms act as substitutional or interstitial atoms. The conductivity approximately linearly scales with adsorption height of random or correlated adatoms, but remains practically unchanged with adequate varying of elevation of ordered adatoms. Correlations between electron transport properties and heterogeneous electron transfer kinetics through K-doped graphene and electrolyte interface are investigated as well. The ferri-/ferrocyanide redox couple is used as an electrochemical benchmark system. K adsorption of graphene electrode results to only slight suppress of the heterogeneous standard rate constant. Band gap, opening for ordered and strongly short-range scatterers, has a strong impact on the dependence of the electrode reaction rate as a function of electrode potential.

description: Soil resource concerns can reduce farm productivity and profitability on farm fields, as well as exacerbate off-farm impacts of agriculture. Farmers growing oats and cotton in 2015, wheat in 2017, and soybeans in 2018 reported having at least one within-field resource concern on 49 percent of their fields. Water-driven erosion is the most prevalent farmer-reported resource concern, followed by soil compaction, poor drainage, and low organic matter. Farmers received technical assistance with production practices on 24 percent of their fields with self-reported resource concerns. USDA’s Natural Resources Conservation Service was the most common source of technical assistance.

description: Let (X, Y) have regression function m(x) = E(Y X = x), and let X have a marginal density f1(x). We consider two nonparameteric estimates of m(x): the Watson estimate when f1 is known and the Yang estimate when f1 is known or unknown. For both estimates the asymptotic distribution of the maximal deviation from m(x) is proved, thus extending results of Bickel and Rosenblatt for the estimation of density functions.

description: Negative ion production with conventional multicusp plasma chambers utilizing 2.45 GHz microwave heating is demonstrated. The experimental results were obtained with the multicusp plasma chambers and extraction systems of the RFdriven RADIS ion source and the filament driven arc discharge ion source LIISA. A waveguide microwave coupling system, which is almost similar to the one used with the SILHI ion source, was used. The results demonstrate that at least one third of negative ion beam obtained with inductive RF-coupling (RADIS) or arc discharge (LIISA) can be achieved with 1 kW of 2.45 GHz microwave power in CW mode without any modification of the plasma chamber. The co-extracted electron to H^- ratio and the optimum pressure range were observed to be similar for both heating methods. The behaviour of the plasma implies that the energy transfer from the microwaves to the plasma electrons is mainly an off-resonance process.

description: Motivated by quite recent research involving the relationship between the dimension of a poset and graph-theoretic properties of its cover graph, we show that for every $d\geq 1$, if $P$ is a poset and the dimension of a subposet $B$ of $P$ is at most $d$ whenever the cover graph of $B$ is a block of the cover graph of $P$, then the dimension of $P$ is at most $d+2$. We also construct examples which show that this inequality is best possible. We consider the proof of the upper bound to be fairly elegant and relatively compact. However, we know of no simple proof for the lower bound, and our argument requires a powerful tool known as the Product Ramsey Theorem. As a consequence, our constructions involve posets of enormous size.

description: Large-pore ordered mesoporous silica (OMS) COK-12, analogous to the well-known SBA-15, but synthesized in a more environmentally friendly way and exhibiting a shorter plate-like structure, was grafted with different amounts of graphene oxide (GO) for the first time in an inexpensive and rapid process, that was successfully upscaled. Samples were examined with nitrogen sorption analysis, SAXS, Raman spectroscopy, XPS, and zeta potential analysis. Adsorption experiments with the cationic dye methylene blue (MB) were conducted on the grafted materials and on pure COK-12, taking into account the influence of initial dye concentration (30–600 mg L−1), adsorbent dosage (0.2–14 g L−1), contact time (0.3–300 min), solution pH (4–10), and influence of salts and temperature (0–1 M NaCl, 80 °C) to simulate industrial dye effluent. The adsorption process was found to be represented best by the Langmuir isotherm model, i.e., adsorption is a monolayer process. The calculated maximum adsorption capacities were found to be 20.2 and 197.5 mg g−1 at dosages of 5 and 0.5 g L−1 for pure COK-12 and COK-12 grafted with 50 wt% GO, respectively, at pH 5.65 and MB concentration of 100 mg L−1. Adsorption kinetics were found to follow the pseudo-second order model, i.e., chemisorption is the rate controlling step. The adsorption performances could be well preserved at simulated dye effluent. Desorption was found to be most effective with hydrochloric acid. The COK-12 grafted with GO presented in this work shows superior adsorption properties in comparison to other grafted OMS materials. In addition, grafting with GO remarkably improved the stability of COK-12 in aqueous solution.

description: The formation of crystalline calcium sulfate (CaSO4*xH2O) polymorphs from aqueous solutions is assumed to occur via a single-step process following the classical nucleation paradigm. However, although recent research contradicts this classical picture and indicates that CaSO4*2H2O forms at room temperature through multiple steps at different length and time-scales, these steps have so far not been quantified. By using in situ and fast time-resolved small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), we demonstrate that the nucleation and growth of CaSO4*2H2O involves at the very initial stages the formation of well-defined, primary species of < 3 nm in length (stage I). Stage II of the reaction is characterized by the arrangement of these primary species into domains, while in stage III these domains condense into larger aggregates. Based on volume fractions and electron density considerations we propose that the fast forming primary species from supersaturated aqueous CaSO4 solutions are composed of anhydrous Ca-SO4-cores. The first three stages of nucleation and aggregation of the primary species are followed by a final stage (stage IV), where the primary species grow within the aggregates, and eventually transform into gypsum (CaSO4*2H2O). This final stage was also confirmed through simultaneously collected wide-angle scattering (diffraction, WAXS) data, which clearly show the growth of gypsum during stage IV only. Our results demonstrate that CaSO4 formation is driven by the nucleation and aggregation of well-defined anhydrous Ca-SO4-cores that transform through hydration into gypsum through a complex nucleation and growth pathway.

One and two-dimensional quantum models: quenches and the scaling of irreversible entropy

description: Using the scaling relation of the ground state quantum fidelity, we propose the most generic scaling relations of the irreversible work (the residual energy) of a closed quantum system at absolute zero temperature when one of the parameters of its Hamiltonian is suddenly changed; we consider two extreme limits namely, the heat susceptibility limit and the thermodynamic limit. It is then argued that the irreversible entropy generated for a thermal quench at low enough temperature when the system is initially in a Gibbs state, is likely to show a similar scaling behavior. To illustrate this proposition, we consider zero-temperature and thermal quenches in one and two-dimensional Dirac Hamiltonians where the exact estimation of the irreversible work and the irreversible entropy is indeed possible. Exploiting these exact results, we then establish: (i) the irreversible work at zero temperature indeed shows an appropriate scaling in the thermodynamic limit; (ii) the scaling of the irreversible work in the 1D Dirac model at zero-temperature shows logarithmic corrections to the scaling which is a signature of a marginal situation. (iii) Furthermore, remarkably the logarithmic corrections do indeed appear in the scaling of the entropy generated if temperature is low enough while disappears for high temperatures. For the 2D model, no such logarithmic correction is found to appear.

description: With continuous proliferation of private battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in urban regions, the demand for electrical energy and power is constantly increasing. Electrical grid infrastructure operators are facing the question of where and to what extent they need to expand their infrastructure in order to meet the additional demand. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to develop an activity-based mobility model that supports electrical grid operators in detecting and evaluating possible overloads within the electrical grid, deriving from the aforementioned electrification. We apply our model, which fully relies on open data, to the urban area of Berlin. In addition to a household travel survey, statistics on the population density, the degree of motorisation, and the household income in fine spatial resolution are key data sources for generation of the model. The results show that the spatial distribution of the BEV charging energy demand is highly heterogeneous. The demand per capita is higher in peripheral areas of the city, while the demand per m2 area is higher in the inner city. For reference areas, we analysed the temporal distribution of the BEV charging power demand, by assuming that the vehicles are solely charged at their residential district. We show that the households’ power demand peak in the evening coincide with the BEV power demand peak while the total power demand can increase up to 77.9%.

description: With the continuous proliferation of private battery electric vehicles, the demand for electrical energy and power is constantly increasing. As a result, the electrical grid may need to be expanded. To plan for such expansion, information about the spatial distribution of the energy demand is necessary. This can be determined from e-mobility traffic simulations, where travel schedules of individuals are combined with an attractiveness rating of locations to estimate traffic flows. Typically, attractiveness is determined from the “size” of locations (e.g., number of employees or sales area), which is applicable when all modes of transportation are considered. This approach leads to inaccuracies for the estimation of car traffic flows, since the parking situation is neglected. To overcome these inaccuracies and fill this research gap, we have developed a method to determine the car-access attractiveness of districts for shopping and working trips. Our method consists of two steps. First, we determine the car-access attractiveness of buildings within a district based on the parking situation of each individual building and then aggregate the results at the district level. The approach is demonstrated for the city of Berlin. The results confirm that conventional models cannot be used to determine the car-access attractiveness of districts. According to these models, attractive districts are predominantly located in the city centre due to the large amount of sales areas or the large number of employees. However, due to the high density of buildings, only limited space is available for parking. Attractive districts rated according to our new approach are mainly located in the outer areas of the city and thus match the parking situation.

description: Diese Masterarbeit untersucht die Verfolgung von Personen mit einer „fraglichen Geschlechtsidentität“ unter dem Paragrafen §129Ib StGB. Damit wird eine marginalisierte Gruppe innerhalb einer Minderheit beleuchtet. Analysiert wird, inwiefern sich die juristische und medizinische Verfolgung sowie die Lebenswelt der Angeklagten gestalteten und wie sich die Spruchpraxis auf die weitere Existenz der Personen auswirkte. Erstens ist festzustellen, dass geschlechternonkonformes Auftreten in der Öffentlichkeit aufgefallen ist, diese jedoch keinen direkten Einfluss auf das Gerichtsurteil hatte. Die Verfolgung reichte von einem widerwilligen Freispruch über psychiatrische Einweisung, Rückstellungsverfahren, Schutzhaftbefehl bis zur Internierung im Konzentrationslager. Aus der Spruchpraxis der Dokumente geht hervor, dass der Habitus einer Person mit dem der Geburt zugeschrieben Geschlechtes konform sein musste, ansonsten hatte sie mit Misstrauen, Verdacht und Vorurteilen zu rechnen. Die queerphobe Sozialisation der Täter*innen bildete den Ausgangspunkt der Kommunikation, welche sich bis in die Gerichtsprozesse zog. Die Masterarbeit kommt zum Schluss, dass von einer Verfolgung von Personen mit „fraglicher Geschlechtsidentität“ gesprochen werden muss, da jeglicher Geschlechternonkonformismus von den Polizeibehörden und den Gerichten als ein Indiz für eine strafbare Handlung, die „Unzucht wider die Natur“, gewertet wurde.

description: War crimes are described as acts that gravely violate the Geneva Conventions, Additional Protocol I, and Additional Protocol II, as well as the rules and conventions of war established by the Hague Conventions of 1899 and 1907. Although the occupying power should be bound by several provisions of the 1949 Fourth Geneva Convention as long as "such Power exercises the functions of government in such territory," the protection of civilians and prisoners of war during military occupation is extended for a year after the end of hostilities, even in the case where there is no armed resistance. This article includes a concise overview of incidents where war crimes are alleged to have taken place, including the summary execution of enemy combatants who have been captured, abuse of detainees during interrogation, the use of torture, violence against civilians and non-combatants, and the needless destruction of civilian property.

description: Wildfires are a concern to drinking water utilities located within or downstream of forested watersheds due to potential post-fire changes in source water quality. After subsiding, the aftermath of wildfires can impact the surrounding watershed. Fire-induced alterations to the forest floor can result in elevated erosion and runoff which can lead to degraded water quality. These changes in water quality can pose challenges to a water treatment plant's (WTP) existing treatment processes. To address the concerns of potentially increased and variable turbidity and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) levels following a 2017 wildfire in Washington state, the Naches River water intake was monitored from April - November 2018. The objectives of this study were to evaluate post-fire changes to the Naches River water quality and to address challenges to treatment processes by comparing the efficacy of two aluminum coagulants: aluminum sulfate (alum) and aluminum chlorohydrate (ACH). Results showed increased and more variable DOC concentrations were observed the year immediately after the fire. Overall, post-fire source water remained treatable by direct filtration with ACH. Although alum and ACH showed comparable DOC removal, ACH showed higher specific ultraviolet absorbance (SUVA) reduction, which could be beneficial for meeting disinfection byproduct regulations. Currently, the unintentional effects of post-fire land treatments, such as mulches, on surface water quality parameters such as DOC have not been well researched. The purpose of the second study was to assess the impacts that post-fire applied mulch may have on raw water quality and coagulation treatment of drinking water. Three different varieties of mulch were leached and water quality of the leachates was characterized. Coagulation tests were performed for the evaluation of alum and ACH using conventional treatment. Conventional treatment struggled to remove the DOC leached from the wood mulch. However, conventional treatment provided adequate DOC removal for the two straw mulches, but the leachates remained more aromatic than the wood leachates following treatment. While wood mulch proved difficult to treat, it would require a much greater mass of wood mulch to reach a water source to result in the same levels of DOC as a straw mulch.

description: Particulate and gaseous air pollutants pose a threat to human health and contribute to climate change. By today, air filters, stationary and portable, are markedly improved and can often provide innocuous air pollution levels. After introducing the classification and standards on air filters, the influence of the processing route and its parameters on the resulting air filter properties and consequently its performance are discussed. Numerous tools are presented to adjust structural properties such as fiber or pore diameter, specific surface area, surface charge, hydrophilicity, or photocatalytic activity to achieve the desired performance in terms of high filtration efficiencies, sufficient mechanical stability, regeneration eligibility, antimicrobial and optical properties. In particular, inorganic and composite materials as well as nonfibrous structures are covered, which are currently holding an outsider position in an air filter community dominated by polymeric materials and fibrous structures.

Estimating the mean function of a Gaussian process and the Stein effect

description: The problem of global estimation of the mean function [theta](Â·) of a quite arbitrary Gaussian process is considered. The loss function in estimating [theta] by a function a(Â·) is assumed to be of the form L([theta], a) = [integral operator] [[theta](t) - a(t)]2[mu](dt), and estimators are evaluated in terms of their risk function (expected loss). The usual minimax estimator of [theta] is shown to be inadmissible via the Stein phenomenon in estimating the function [theta] we are trying to simultaneously estimate a larger number of normal means. Estimators improving upon the usual minimax estimator are constructed, including an estimator which allows the incorporation of prior information about [theta]. The analysis is carried out by using a version of the Karhunen-Loéve expansion to represent the original problem as the problem of estimating a countably infinite sequence of means from independent normal distributions.

description: The neutron skin and halo distributions in medium and heavy nuclei are calculated within the extended Thomas-Fermi approximation. Calculations are carried out for the effective Skyrme-like forces using the direct variational method. The analytical expression for the isovector shift of the rms radii $Δr_{np}$ as a sum of skin- and halo-like terms is obtained. The contribution of halo and skin terms to $Δr_{np}$ are found to be approximately equal.

description: The Internet is composed of routing devices connected between them and organized into independent administrative entities: the Autonomous Systems. The existence of different types of Autonomous Systems (like large connectivity providers, Internet Service Providers or universities) together with geographical and economical constraints, turns the Internet into a complex modular and hierarchical network. This organization is reflected in many properties of the Internet topology, like its high degree of clustering and its robustness. In this work, we study the modular structure of the Internet router-level graph in order to assess to what extent the Autonomous Systems satisfy some of the known notions of community structure. We show that the modular structure of the Internet is much richer than what can be captured by the current community detection methods, which are severely affected by resolution limits and by the heterogeneity of the Autonomous Systems. Here we overcome this issue by using a multiresolution detection algorithm combined with a small sample of nodes. We also discuss recent work on community structure in the light of our results.

Hierarchically porous and mechanically stable monoliths from ordered mesoporous silica and their water filtration potential

description: Mechanically stable structures with interconnected hierarchical porosity combine the benefits of both small and large pores, such as high surface area, pore volume, and good mass transport capabilities. Hence, lightweight micro-/meso-/macroporous monoliths are prepared from ordered mesoporous silica COK-12 by means of spark plasma sintering (SPS, S-sintering) and compared to conventionally (C-) sintered monoliths. A multi-scale model is developed to fit the small angle X-ray scattering data and obtain information on the hexagonal lattice parameters, pore sizes from the macro to the micro range, as well as the dimensions of the silica population. For both sintering techniques, the overall mesoporosity, hexagonal pore ordering, and amorphous character are preserved. The monoliths' porosity (77–49%), mesopore size (6.2–5.2 nm), pore volume (0.50–0.22 g cm−3), and specific surface area (451–180 m2 g−1) decrease with increasing processing temperature and pressure. While the difference in porosity is enhanced, the structural parameters between the C-and S-sintered monoliths are largely converging at 900 °C, except for the mesopore size and lattice parameter, whose dimensions are more extensively preserved in the S-sintered monoliths, however, coming along with larger deviations from the theoretical lattice. Their higher mechanical properties (biaxial strength up to 49 MPa, 724 MPa HV 9.807 N) at comparable porosities and ability to withstand ultrasonic treatment and dead-end filtration up to 7 bar allow S-sintered monoliths to reach a high permeance (2634 L m−2 h−1 bar−1), permeability (1.25 × 10−14 m2), and ability to reduce the chemical oxygen demand by 90% during filtration of a surfactant-stabilized oil in water emulsion, while indicating reasonable resistance towards fouling.
