description: We derive the twist-3 gluon fragmentation function (FF) contribution to the transversely polarized hyperon production in semi-inclusive deep inelastic scattering, $ep\to eΛ^\uparrow X$, in the leading order (LO) with respect to the QCD coupling in the framework of the collinear twist-3 factorization. Together with the known result for the contribution from the twist-3 distribution in the proton and the twist-3 quark FFs for the hyperon, this completes the LO cross section for this process. The constraint relations among the twist-3 FFs are taken into account. The formula is relevant to large-$P_T$ hyperon production in the future Electron-Ion-Collider experiment.

description: Process Capability Analysis (PCA) helps to improve and monitor the quality of the manufacturing products in industries. The most commonly and traditionally applied indices are process capability index and process capability ratio. Many statistical tests require the condition that the data to be approximately normally distributed. When it comes to reality the data often do not follow a normal distribution. In such instances, different approaches are employed. Box-Cox Transformation (BCT) is one such methodology that is often used by quality practitioners relying on single transforming parameter lamda to transform the non-normal data into normal data. The widely used approach to decide the transforming parameter lamda is based on the rounded value of lamda instead of an optimal value of lamda. There are two transforming expressions available in BCT method. The choice of the value for lamda in BCT can have a significant impact on the results. This paper concentrates on the impact of data transformation in BCT method through two different expressions based on an optimal as well as a rounded value of lamda. The influence made by the estimates of process capability and process performance indices is also studied in this paper. The result of the analysis clearly indicates that the optimal value of lamda when employed in the first BCT transformation expression to estimate the process capability indices for non-normal data provides improvised results. For data analysis, Ms-Excel and Minitab 21 software has been used in this study.

description: The paper deals with the cost benefit analysis of a two non-identical unit cold standby system model with the implementation of preventive maintenance (PM) on the priority unit after it has operated for a random duration. The objective is to evaluate the economic viability and performance of such system. A single repairman is consistently available within the system, responsible for both PM and repair of each failed unit. The priority in repair is given to priority (p) unit over ordinary (o) unit. The failure time distribution of each unit is assumed to be exponential while the repair time distribution of both the unit is taken as inverse Gaussian. The PM time and time to PM of the priority unit are correlated having their joint distributions as bivariate exponential. By considering the regenerative point technique, various measures of system effectiveness are obtained.

description: The density profiles of dark matter halos are typically modeled using empirical formulae fitted to the density profiles of relaxed halo populations. We present a neural network model that is trained to learn the mapping from the raw density field containing each halo to the dark matter density profile. We show that the model recovers the widely-used Navarro-Frenk-White (NFW) profile out to the virial radius, and can additionally describe the variability in the outer profile of the halos. The neural network architecture consists of a supervised encoder-decoder framework, which first compresses the density inputs into a low-dimensional latent representation, and then outputs $ρ(r)$ for any desired value of radius $r$. The latent representation contains all the information used by the model to predict the density profiles. This allows us to interpret the latent representation by quantifying the mutual information between the representation and the halos' ground-truth density profiles. A two-dimensional representation is sufficient to accurately model the density profiles up to the virial radius; however, a three-dimensional representation is required to describe the outer profiles beyond the virial radius. The additional dimension in the representation contains information about the infalling material in the outer profiles of dark matter halos, thus discovering the splashback boundary of halos without prior knowledge of the halos' dynamical history.

description: Conventional wisdom says that a chaotic inflation model with a power-law potential is ruled out by the recent Planck-BICEP/Keck results. We find, however, that the model can be assisted by a non-minimally coupled scalar field and still provides a successful inflation. Considering a power-law chaotic inflation model of the type $V\sim φ^n$ with $n=\{2, 4/3, 1, 2/3, 1/3\}$, we show that $n=1/3$ ($n=\{2/3, 1/3\}$) may be revived with the help of the quadratic (quartic) non-minimal coupling of the assistant field to gravity.

description: The generic scale-invariant theory of an axion and a dilaton coupled to gravity in $d$-dimensions is generalized to a `universal' one-axion model with two dilatons that reproduces itself under consistent dimensional-reduction/truncation. Flat FLRW cosmologies are shown to correspond to trajectories of a three-dimensional autonomous dynamical system, which we analyse with a focus on accelerated cosmic expansion, deriving the precise swampland bounds that exclude eternal acceleration. We also show that for two sets of values of its three independent parameters, the model is a consistent truncation of maximal `massive' supergravity theories arising from string/M-theory; for these maximal-supergravity parameter values the FLRW cosmologies include some with a transient de Sitter-like phase, but not the recurring de Sitter-like phase or eternal cosmic acceleration that is possible for other parameter values.

description: We continue to develop Bootstrability -- a method merging Integrability and Conformal Bootstrap to extract CFT data in integrable conformal gauge theories such as $\mathcal{N}$=4 SYM. In this paper, we consider the 1D defect CFT defined on a $\frac{1}{2}$-BPS Wilson line in the theory, whose non-perturbative spectrum is governed by the Quantum Spectral Curve (QSC). In addition, we use that the deformed setup of a cusped Wilson line is also controlled by the QSC. In terms of the defect CFT, this translates into two nontrivial relations connecting integrated 4-point correlators to cusp spectral data, such as the Bremsstrahlung and Curvature functions -- known analytically from the QSC. Combining these new constraints and the spectrum of the $10$ lowest-lying states with the Numerical Conformal Bootstrap, we obtain very sharp rigorous numerical bounds for the structure constant of the first non-protected state, giving this observable with seven digits precision for the 't Hooft coupling in the intermediate coupling region $\frac{\sqrtλ}{4π}\sim 1$, with the error decreasing quickly at large 't Hooft coupling. Furthermore, for the same structure constant we obtain a $4$-loop analytic result at weak coupling. We also present results for excited states.

description: Novel 2D ferromagnets with high Curie temperature and large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy are especially attractive owing to the future promising application in modern spintronics, but meanwhile the 2D ferromagnetic materials with high Curie temperature and large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy are rarely reported. Based on density functional theory (DFT) calculations, we predict a new kind of 2D ferromagnetic materials - GdB2N2, which possesses large magnetic moment, high Curie temperature (335 K) and large perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (10.38 meV/f.u.). Biaxial strain ranging from -0.5% to 5% and different concentrations of charge-carrier doping are applied to reveal the influence on the Curie temperature and magnetic anisotropy energy (MAE). Besides, magnetic coupling process within GdB2N2 is found to be via a Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) mechanism. In summary, our work here predicts a novel 2D rare-earth material GdB2N2, which not only enriches the category of 2D room-temperature ferromagnets, but also proposes a new possibility of combining traditional 2D materials and rare-earth materials to achieve more intriguing magnetic properties, finally it carves out the path for the next-generation spintronic devices and sensors.

description: The Reliability is one of the key characteristics of software that operates flawlessly and in accordance with needs of users. The assessment of Reliability is very important but it is complicated. The one-parameter exponential class failure intensity function is used in this article to quantify the model and assess the software Reliability. The scale parameter and the number of existing total failures are the model's parameters. Using the Bayesian approach, the estimators of parameters are obtained under the assumption that gamma priors are suitable to provide prior information of the parameters. Using risk efficiencies computed under squared error loss, the performance of proposed estimators is studied with their corresponding maximum likelihood estimators. The suggested Bayes estimators are found to outperform over the equivalent maximum likelihood estimators.

description: The maximum mass of a star that can produce a white dwarf (WD) is an important astrophysical quantity. One of the best approaches to establishing this limit is to search for WDs in young star clusters in which only massive stars have had time to evolve and where the mass of the progenitor can be established from the cooling time of the WD together with the age of the cluster. Searches in young Milky Way clusters have not thus far yielded WD members more massive than about 1.1$~M_{\odot}$, well below the Chandrasekhar mass of $1.38~M_{\odot}$, nor progenitors with masses in excess of about $6~M_{\odot}$. However, the hunt for potentially massive WDs that escaped their cluster environs is yielding interesting candidates. To expand the cluster sample further, we used HST to survey four young and massive star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds for bright WDs that could have evolved from stars as massive as 10$~M_{\odot}$. We located five potential WD candidates in the oldest of the four clusters examined, the first extragalactic single WDs thus far discovered. As these hot WDs are very faint at optical wavelengths, final confirmation will likely have to await spectroscopy with 30-metre class telescopes.

description: The objective of the study is to use Bayesian techniques to estimate the scale parameter of the 2Kth order weighted Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution(KWMBD). This involved using various prior assumptions such as extended Jeffrey’s, Hartigan’s , Inverse-gamma and Inverse-exponential, as well as different loss functions including squared error loss function (SELF), precautionary loss function (PLF), Al Bayyati’s loss function (ALBF), and Stein’s Loss Function (SLF).The maximum likelihood estimation (MLE) is also obtained. We compared the performances of MLE and bayesian estimation under each prior and its associated loss functions. And demonstrated the effectiveness of Bayesian estimation through simulation studies and analyzing real-life datasets.

description: Path sampling approaches have become invaluable tools to explore the mechanisms and dynamics of so-called rare events that are characterized by transitions between metastable states separated by sizeable free energy barriers. Their practical application, in particular to ever more complex molecular systems, is, however, not entirely trivial. Focusing on replica exchange transition interface sampling (RETIS) and forward flux sampling (FFS), we discuss a range of analysis tools that can be used to assess the quality and convergence of such simulations which is crucial to obtain reliable results. The basic ideas of a step-wise evaluation are exemplified for the study of nucleation in several systems with different complexity, providing a general guide for the critical assessment of RETIS and FFS simulations.

Stress-strength reliability

description: When the probability distributions for the stress (X) and strength (Y) are different members of the power series family, the expressions of the stress-strength reliability function, R = P(X ≤ Y), are derived. Apart from stress-strength reliability, it has applications in statistical tolerancing, measurement of demand-supply system performance, genetic trait hereditary measure, bio-equivalence study, etc. The Bayes’ estimates of R under squared error and Precautionary losses are derived for various combinations of distributions of X and Y like binomial, Poisson, negative binomial, and geometric. As in practice, the availability of prior parameters is difficult; the empirical Bayes estimation procedure has been adopted to get their estimates from observed data. Simulation results have been reported, and estimates of posterior risks are compared. In the context of real Soccer games, the Bayes estimates are enumerated and compared with their classical counterparts.
title: Person Identity in Gait Patterns: A Spatial-Temporal Approach for Non-Invasive Gait Identification in Realistic Environments Using Deep Machine Learning and Computer Vision
Creators: name: Topham, L
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2025

description: Person identification is a substantial problem of vital importance with critical applications in public security and law enforcement, such as missing person identification and crime suspect identification. However, existing works have severe limitations, for example, many approaches rely upon face identification, which can easily be avoided by hiding or disguising the face. Furthermore, these approaches are limited in real-world environments due to the requirement of unobstructed high-quality images, which are not always available in uncontrolled environments. An alternative method is gait identification, where people are identified by their manner of walking. This is a convenient approach as it may be performed without the knowledge or consent of the subject, it does not require high-quality images, and gait is a difficult biometric to disguise. However, many current approaches are limited and often affected by appearance, recording environment, viewing angle, and occlusion. This thesis addresses the above issues of gait identification by developing a skeleton-based approach, where bodily keypoints, such as limb joints, are estimated and used to extract gait information. For the first time, a novel method of occluded gait identification is introduced, proposing a composite of state estimation and spatiotemporal deep learning to reconstruct missing keypoints. Next, a viewing angle classifier is implemented to identify the appropriate person identification model for each category of viewing angle. The reported results suggest that this approach provides state-of-the-art performance and is not affected by changes in appearance, viewing angle, or environments.

To do this, we characterize the structures of the permutations in these sets in terms of Fibonacci permutations. Then, we further quantify the structures using statistics such as inversion number and a statistic that measures the length of Fibonacci subsequences. Finally, we encode these statistics in generating functions written in terms of the generating function for Fibonacci permutations. We use these generating functions to find analogs about recurrence relation and addition formulae of Fibonacci identities.

description: Der Berufseinstieg auf Intensivstationen stellt für neue Mitarbeitende eine besondere Herausforderung dar. Die hohe Komplexität der Aufgaben, der Umgang mit kritischen Patient*innen und das Arbeiten in einem stressintensiven Umfeld führen zu erheblichen Belastungen. Die "Transition Shock Theory" von Judy Duchscher dient als theoretische Grundlage, um den Übergang von neuen Mitarbeitenden zu erfassen und zu verstehen. Diese Arbeit untersucht, wie neue Mitarbeitende die berufliche Einmündung auf Intensivstationen erleben, indem sie psychische Belastungen, soziale Herausforderungen, unzureichendes Wissen und Bewältigungsstrategien beleuchtet.

Es wurde eine systematische Literaturrecherche durchgeführt, bei der relevante Studien und Artikel aus wissenschaftlichen Datenbanken analysiert wurden. Die Auswahl der Literatur erfolgte nach festgelegten Einschlusskriterien, um eine fundierte Basis für die Analyse zu gewährleisten. Die Ergebnisse der Literaturrecherche zeigen, dass neue Mitarbeitende auf Intensivstationen mit erheblichen psychischen Belastungen konfrontiert sind, die sich in Stress, Angst und emotionaler Erschöpfung manifestieren. Soziale Herausforderungen wie die Integration in bestehende Teams sind ebenfalls häufig. Zudem fühlen sich viele neue Mitarbeitende durch unzureichendes Fachwissen und mangelnde Erfahrung unsicher, was ihre berufliche Kompetenz betrifft. Als Reaktion darauf entwickeln sie verschiedene Bewältigungsstrategien, um den Anforderungen gerecht zu werden.

Die Ergebnisse unterstreichen die Notwendigkeit gezielter Unterstützungsmaßnahmen und strukturierter Einarbeitungsprogramme, um den Übergang neuer Mitarbeitender auf Intensivstationen zu erleichtern und ihre langfristige berufliche Zufriedenheit und Leistung zu sichern. Die "Transition Shock Theory" bietet hierbei einen wertvollen Rahmen, um die Erfahrungen und Herausforderungen besser zu verstehen und entsprechende Interventionsmaßnahmen zu entwickeln. Weitere Forschung ist notwendig, um spezifische Interventionen zu entwickeln und deren Wirksamkeit zu evaluieren.

Additionally, we presumptively have a general distribution for the service times, delay times, and repair times. For various states, we concrete the probability-generating functions for the number of customers in the orbit. We scrutinize a single server queue with batches of reneging or balking clients in a system of variable size in this work. Different performance measures and unique situations are examined. The outcomes of this work have applications in satellite communication, software-design for various computer-communication systems and mailing systems among other things.

description: We searched for correlations between the number of satellites and fundamental galactic properties for the Milky Way-like host galaxies in order to better understand their diverse satellite populations. We specifically aim to understand why galaxies that are very similar in stellar mass content, star formation rate, and local environment have very different numbers of satellites. Satellites of Galactic Analogs (SAGA) spectroscopic survey has completed spectroscopic observations of 36 Milky Way-like galaxies within their virial radii down to the luminosity of Leo I dwarf galaxy. All the available galactic properties of SAGA galaxies from the literature along with measured stellar masses were correlated with the number of satellites and no significant correlation was found. However, when we considered the "expected" number of satellites based on the correlation between the baryonic bulge-to-total ratio and the number of satellites confirmed for several nearby galaxies then strong correlations emerge between this number and (1) the mass of the bulge, and (2) the total specific angular momentum. The first correlation is positive, implying that galaxies with more massive bulges have more satellites, as already confirmed. The second correlation with the angular momentum is negative, meaning that, the smaller the angular momentum, the greater the number of expected satellites. This would imply that either satellites cannot form if galaxy angular momentum is too high, or that satellites form inside-out, so that angular momentum is being transferred to the outer parts of the galaxies. However, deeper spectroscopic observations are needed to confirm these findings, because they rely on the expected rather than detected number of satellites. There was a luminosity limit to the SAGA survey equivalent to the luminosity of Leo I dwarf satellite of the Milky Way galaxy.

description: The helicity representation of the linear momentum density of a light wave is well understood for monochromatic optical fields in both paraxial and non-paraxial regimes of propagation. In this note we generalize such representation to nonmonochromatic optical fields. We find that, differently from the monochromatic case, the linear momentum density, aka the Poynting vector divided by $c^2$, does not separate into the sum of right-handed and left-handed terms, even when the so-called electric-magnetic democracy in enforced by averaging the electric and magnetic contributions. However, for quasimonochromatic light, such a separation is approximately restored after time-averaging. This paper is dedicated to Sir Michael Berry on the occasion of his $80$th birthday.

description: The distribution of unscheduled capacity corresponding to the difference between current and forecast values should be carried out according to the criterion of minimum costs for the units involved to cover this capacity. In operational management, the optimization of power distribution is the process of adjusting the regime for active power, obtained during its short-term planning and optimization. Some of the optimization parameters, such as the relative increase in energy consumption and a measure of the efficiency of the use of water resources, can be determined in the optimization of short-term regimes and used in the optimization of operational regimes. Other parameters included in the operational optimization equation are either calculated during operational control using telemetered parameters, or are set. During the operational optimization of the regime, unscheduled power between stations must be distributed in such a way as to ensure the same relative increases in energy consumption at power plant units, taking into account the relative increases in power losses in the network from the power of these stations. The article considers a comparison of two methods for the operational assessment of the relative increments of power losses for the tasks of operational optimization of the mode by active power.

description: Most economic decisions are embedded in a specific social context. In many such contexts, individual choices are influenced by their observability due to underlying social norms and social image concerns. This study investigates the impact of choices being observed, compared to anonymity of choices, on risk taking in a laboratory experiment. I relate participants' investments in a risky asset directly to social norms for risk taking that are elicited in an incentivized procedure. I find that risk taking ist not affected by the choice being observed by a matched participant. Nor do investments follow elicited norms for risk taking more closely when observed. This holds when considering males and females separately. However, I provide strong evidence for gender-specific norms in risk taking. While these explain part of the existing gender gap in risk taking, males still "overshoot" by investing more than the norm dictates. This is particularly true for males being matched with a female participant.
COMPARISON OF SINGLE SERVER RETRIAL QUEUING PERFORMANCE USING FUZZY QUEUING MODEL AND INTUITIONISTIC FUZZY QUEUING MODEL WITH INFINITE CAPACITY

description: A single server retrial fuzzy queuing model is presented in this study. An unreliable 𝐹𝑀/𝐹𝑀/1 fuzzy retrial queue with a virtually unlimited retrial orbit and a standard queue is investigated. After an unspecified amount of time has elapsed and the server is workable and inactive, orbit patrons don't rejoin the regular queue, but instead, enter the server momentarily. Customers who arrive and discover the server is engaged or has struggled are placed in the regular queue, whereas customers who are disrupted are always placed in orbit. The model's prosecution proportions are also calculated in a hazy environment. The main goal of this investigation is to compare the efficacy of a single server retrial queuing system based on fuzzy queuing theory and intuitionistic fuzzy queuing theory. The arrival, service, failure, orbit, and repair rates are documented using triangular and triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. The evaluation metrics for the fuzzy queuing theory model are proffered as a range of possible values, whereas the intuitionistic fuzzy queuing theory model encompasses a wide range of values. An approach is conducted to discover quality measures using a design protocol in which the fuzzy values are left alone and not repurposed to crisp values, allowing us to draw research findings in an ambiguous future. Two numerical problems are solved to emphasize the method's protracted survivability.

description: Precise extraction of sinusoidal vibration parameters is essential for the dynamic calibration of vibration sensors, such as accelerometers. However, several standard methods have not yet been optimized for large background noise. In this work, signal processing methods to extract small vibration signals from noisy data in the case of accelerometer calibration is discussed. The results show that spectral leakage degrades calibration accuracy. Three methods based on the use of a filter, window function, and numerical differentiation are investigated with theoretical calculations, simulations, and experiments. These methods can effectively reduce the contribution of the calibration system noise. The uncertainty of micro vibration calibration in the National Metrology Institute of Japan is reduced by two orders of magnitudes using the proposed methods. The theoretical analyses in this work can lay the foundation for the optimization of signal processing in vibration calibration, and can be applied to other dynamic calibration fields.

CONFIDENCE INTERVALS FOR THE PARAMETER OF THE IWUEZE DISTRIBUTION WITH APPLICATIONS TO MEDICAL AND ENGINEERING DATA

description: One of the lifetime distributions is the Iwueze distribution, which is constructed by combining the exponential and gamma distributions. In this paper, confidence intervals (CIs) are proposed for the parameter of the Iwueze distribution using the likelihood-based, Wald-type, bootstrap-t, and biascorrected and accelerated (BCa) bootstrap methods. We evaluated the performance of the proposed CI methods through Monte Carlo simulation in terms of their coverage probability (CP) and average length (AL) in various scenarios. Furthermore, we had also derived the explicit formula for the Wald-type CI, which is straightforward for computation. The simulation results showed that the likelihood-based and Wald-type CIs returned satisfactory results according to coverage probabilities, even for the setting of small sample sizes. On the other hand, both the bootstrap-t and BCa bootstrap CIs yield CPs lower than the nominal confidence level when sample sizes are small. However, as the sample sizes increase, the CP of all CIs tend to approach the nominal confidence level. The parameter values also have a minor influence on the CP of all CIs when the sample size is fixed. Moreover, the AL of all CIs decreases as the sample size increases. The Wald-type and likelihood-based CIs have very similar ALs for all parameter values. In general, the bootstrap-t CI tends to yield the shortest interval. The effectiveness of all CIs was demonstrated by applying them to medical and engineering data, yielding results consistent with those of the simulation study.

description: The susperscaling model SuSAv2, already available for charged-current neutrino-nucleus cross sections in the quasielastic region, is extended to the full inelastic regime. In the model the resonance production and deep inelastic reactions are described through the extension to the neutrino sector of the SuSAv2 inelastic model developed for ($e,e'$) reactions, which combines phenomenological structure functions with a nuclear scaling function. This work also compares two different descriptions of the $Δ$ resonance region, one based on a global scaling function for the full inelastic spectrum and the other on a semi-phenomenological $Δ$ scaling function extracted from ($e,e'$) data for this specific region and updated with respect to previous work. The results of the model are tested against ($e,e'$) data on $^{12}$C, $^{16}$O, $^{40}$Ca and $^{40}$Ar and applied to the study of the charged current inclusive neutrino cross-section on $^{12}$C and $^{40}$Ar measured by the T2K, MicroBooNE, ArgoNEUT and MINERvA experiments, thus covering several kinematical regions.
