description: Understanding the impact of drought on fire dynamics is crucial for assessing the potential effects of climate change on wildfire activity in China. In this study, we present a series of multiple linear regression (MLR) models linking burned area (BA) during mainland China’s fire season from 2001 to 2019, across seven regions, to concurrent drought, antecedent drought, and time trend. We estimated burned area using Collection 6 Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectradiometer (MODIS) and drought indicators using either the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) or the self-calibrated Palmer Drought Severity Index (sc-PDSI). Our findings indicate that the wildfire season displays a spatial variation pattern that increases with latitude, with the Northeast China (NEC), North China (NC), and Central China (CC) regions identified as the primary areas of wildfire occurrence. Concurrent and antecedent drought conditions were found to have varying effects across regions, with concurrent drought as the dominant predictor for NEC and Southeast China (SEC) regions and antecedent drought as the key predictor for most regions. We also found that the Northwest China (NWC) and CC regions exhibit a gradual decrease in burned area over time, while the NEC region showed a slight increase. Our multiple linear regression models exhibited a notable level of predictive power, as evidenced by the average correlation coefficient of 0.63 between the leave-one-out cross-validation predictions and observed values. In particular, the NEC, NWC, and CC regions demonstrated strong correlations of 0.88, 0.80, and 0.76, respectively. This indicates the potential of our models to contribute to the prediction of future wildfire occurrences and the development of effective wildfire management and prevention strategies. Nevertheless, the intricate relationship among fire, climate change, human activities, and vegetation distribution may limit the generalizability of these findings to other conditions. Consequently, future research should consider a broad range of factors to develop more comprehensive models.

description: In this paper, we investigate continual learning performance metrics used in class incremental learning strategies for continual learning (CL) using some high performing methods. We investigate especially mean task accuracy. First, we show that it lacks of expressiveness through some simple experiments to capture performance. We show that monitoring average tasks performance is over optimistic and can lead to misleading conclusions for future real life industrial uses. Then, we propose first a simple metric, Minimal Incremental Class Accuracy (MICA) which gives a fair and more useful evaluation of different continual learning methods. Moreover, in order to provide a simple way to easily compare different methods performance in continual learning, we derive another single scalar metric that take into account the learning performance variation as well as our newly introduced metric.

description: In order to explore whether tea/tree intercropping plantations have positive effects on soil ecosystem services functions, the possible effects of intercropping cultivation of 151 different tea and other species’ intercropping setups were summarized and analyzed in terms of three aspects of soil ecological service functions (supply services, support services, and regulating services). An ArcGIS map was plotted to show the distribution of existing intercropping plantations in China up to June 2021. Furthermore, it was concluded that the benefits of intercropping tea plantations exceeded those of monocropping tea plantations in terms of soil ecosystem service functions, such as water retention capacity, mineral contents, effects on energy transformation, and regulating environmental conditions. Intercropping tea plantations were more sustainable than regular tea plantations because of the different degrees of variability and benefits in all three aspects mentioned above. However, tea and tree intercropping plantations often require careful planning and preliminary experimentation to determine the type of intercropping that will have positive impacts, especially in the long term.

description: Exhaust regulations and improved exhaust gas treatment systems have already initiated the trend that brings emissions from brakes and tires to the forefront of traffic-induced particulate matter. The health and environmental relevance of particulate matter has resulted in regulators, industry, and research institutions prioritising the mitigation of non-exhaust particle emissions. To this end, under the umbrella of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe World Forum for Harmonisation of Vehicle Regulations (UNECE WP.29), the Working Party on Pollution and Energy (GRPE) mandated the Particle Measurement Programme Informal Working Group (PMP-IWG) to develop a Global Technical Regulation (GTR) for measuring brake dust. The standards and procedures defined within the GTR should eventually form the basis for the introduction of a Euro 7 limit value for brake emissions. The purpose of this measurement campaign is to provide an exemplary overview of the emission behaviour of wheel brakes and friction pairings currently available on the market and to identify possible reduction potential with regard to particulate emissions. All measurements were carried out taking into account the draft GTR valid at the time of execution. For the investigations, brakes were selected using the example of different vehicle classes, brake concepts (disc and drum brake), vehicle axles (front and rear axle), and alternative friction materials (brake disc and pads/shoes). Thus, the use of wear-resistant discs and improved brake pad compositions are able to achieve significantly lower emissions. In addition, the measurement of brake dust emissions from vehicles with different levels of electrification was considered. Electrical braking was modelled and applied to the Worldwide Harmonised Light-Duty Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) Brake Cycle, which has demonstrated high emission reduction potentials depending on the electrification level. © 2023 by the authors

description: Community-based models of cannabis cultivation, distribution, and consumption—such as cannabis clubs—have been documented across Europe, North America, South America, and New Zealand since the 1990s. For the most part, these models have a history of operating outside existing legislation and regulations. Jurisdictions that have legalized cannabis have approached community-based models in opposite ways (eliminate vs. regulate). Canada legalizing cannabis has resulted in more stringent enforcement and concerted efforts to close these models despite documented health and social benefits. This paper presents a case study of the Victoria Cannabis Buyers Club (VCBC) and its consumption space—The Box. We conducted a survey of VCBC members to explore four domains: demographics, cannabis consumption, access to and use of The Box, and the impact of its temporary closure due to COVID-19. From the survey data (n = 104), descriptive statistics were generated and three conceptual avenues were identified. The majority of respondents were 40 years old and older and identified as White (European descent) cisgendered men and women. The majority reported an income of $40,000 or less and a housing status that prevented them from smoking. Close to 75% of our sample consumed cannabis multidaily for therapeutic purposes primarily, but also for a mix of recreation, social, spiritual, and traditional healing purposes. Smoking was the preferred mode of consumption. Respondents accessed The Box daily or weekly. Reasons and benefits for using The Box fell into three categories: public health, harm reduction, and wellness perspectives. Conceptually, we found that The Box acted as a therapeutic space and offered a much-needed consumption space for smokers. We also identified a need to unpack the concept of safety. Overall, the survey reinforces the need for an equity-informed approach to community-based models and cannabis consumption spaces in Canada.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in disruption in healthcare delivery for people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). African, Caribbean, and Black women living with HIV (ACB WLWH) in British Columbia (BC) faced barriers to engage with HIV care services prior to the COVID-19 pandemic that were intensified by the transition to virtual care during the pandemic. This paper aims to assess which factors influenced ACB WLWH’s access to, utilization and affordability of, and motivation to engage with HIV care services. This study utilized a qualitative descriptive approach using in-depth interviews. Eighteen participants were recruited from relevant women’s health, HIV, and ACB organizations in BC. Participants felt dismissed by healthcare providers delivering services only in virtual formats and suggested that services be performed in a hybrid model to increase access and utilization. Mental health supports, such as support groups, dissolved during the pandemic and overall utilization decreased for many participants. The affordability of services pertained primarily to expenses not covered by the provincial healthcare plan. Resources should be directed to covering supplements, healthy food, and extended health services. The primary factor decreasing motivation to engage with HIV services was fear, which emerged due to the unknown impact of the COVID-19 virus on immunocompromised participants.

description: Background: Key postcolonial works are Salman Rushdie’s Imaginary Homelands, Frantz Fanon’s Black Skin White Masks, Kwame Appiah’s Cosmopolitanism, Benedict Anderson’s Imagined Communities, Stuart Hall’s Cultural Identity and Diaspora, and Cartographies of Diaspora by Avtar Brah. Cosmopolitan urban public spaces of significance become focalisation points of postcolonial identity (Ahmad.A, 1992). In the Malaysian context, the experience of transit through public transport necessitates negotiation of relationships around hierarchies of class, and race (King 2008). The researcher explores how the colonial legacy of ‘divide and rule’ is maintained in public consciousness through ghettoization of racial identities as monolithic artefacts that feed a postcolonial social necessity of racial labelling and pigeon-holing.

Contribution: “IC” details the human discomfort in the face of racial ambiguity, as framed within the public urban space of negotiating traffic within a taxi. The interspersing of the present dynamic within the taxi with the narrator’s childhood occurring in a separate backstory, serve to illuminate the generational elements present in cosmopolitan postcolonial political realities. Specifically, the obsession with marbles of different colours in the backstory resonate as a metaphor towards skin colour stereotyping. The pathological need to pigeon-hole and label as per someone’s skin colour and race explicates an on-going prevalent reality in multiple urbanised postcolonial nations.

Significance: 'Everything About Us’ is an anthology produced in Malaysia and available globally. It is a regular literary production in association with ‘Readings@Seksan’, a reputable, established monthly gathering of Malaysian and global artists, writers, poets and filmmakers. ‘IC’ has been reviewed in The Star, a national daily with a circulation of 250,000, in The Culture Review Mag, and also on GoodReads. It has also been featured on Business FM Radio in Kuala Lumpur, with an estimated 350,000 listeners.

Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2005

description: Genetic factors have been shown to be involved in etiology of a poor response to the antidepressant treatment with sufficient dosage and duration. Our goal was to identify the role of polymorphisms in the poor response to the treatment. To this end, 5 functional polymorphisms in 109 patients diagnosed with unipolar, major depressive disorder are analyzed. Due to the small sample size, exact conditional tests are utilized to analyze the contingency table. The data analysis involves: (1) Exact test for conditional independence in a high dimensional contingency table; (2) Marginal independence test; (3) Exact test for three-way interactions. The efficiency of program always limits the application of exact test. The appropriate methods for enumerating exact tables are the key to improve the efficiency of programs. The algorithm of enumerating the exact tables is also introduced.
Statistical Stability and Biological Validity of Clustering Algorithms for Analyzing Microarray Data

description: Simultaneous measurement of the expression levels of thousands to ten thousand genes in multiple tissue types is a result of advancement in microarray technology. These expression levels provide clues about the gene functions and that have enabled better diagnosis and treatment of serious disease like cancer. To solve the mystery of unknown gene functions, biological to statistical mapping is needed in terms of classifying the genes. Here we introduce a novel approach of combining both statistical consistency and biological relevance of the clusters produced by a clustering method. Here we employ two performance measures in combination for measuring statistical stability and functional similarity of the cluster members using a set of gene expressions with known biological functions. Through this analysis we construct a platform to predict about unknown gene functions using the outperforming clustering algorithm.

description: Due to the rarity and complexity of treatment for Ewing sarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma, studies demonstrate improved patient outcomes when managed by a multidisciplinary team at high-volume centres (HVCs). Our study explores the difference in outcomes of Ewing sarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma patients based on the centre of initial consultation in British Columbia, Canada. This retrospective study assessed adults diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma between 1 January 2000 and 31 December 2020 undergoing curative intent therapy in one of five cancer centres across the province. Seventy-seven patients were included, 46 seen at HVCs and 31 at low-volume centres (LVCs). Patients at HVCs were younger (32.1 vs. 40.8 years, p = 0.020) and more likely to receive curative intent radiation (88% vs. 67%, p = 0.047). The time from diagnosis to first chemotherapy was 24 days shorter at HVCs (26 vs. 50 days, p = 0.120). There was no significant difference in overall survival by treatment centre (HR 0.850, 95% CI 0.448–1.614). Variations in care exist amongst patients treated at HVCs vs. LVCs, which may reflect differences in access to resources, clinical specialists, and varying practice patterns across centres. This study can be used to inform decisions regarding triaging and centralization of Ewing sarcoma and rhabdomyosarcoma patient treatment.

Semidefinite Programming and Stability of Dynamical System
Creators: name: Stovall, Kazumi
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: In the first part of the thesis we present several interior point algorithms for solving
certain positive definite programming problems. One of the algorithms is adapted for
finding out whether there exists or not a positive definite matrix which is a real linear
combination of some given symmetric matrices A1,A2, . . . ,Am. In the second part of the thesis we discuss stability of nonlinear dynamical systems. We search using algorithms described in the first part, for Lyapunov functions of a few forms. A suitable Lyapunov function implies the existence
of a hyperellipsoidal attraction region for the dynamical system, thus guaranteeing stability.

Rational Realizations of the Minimum Rank of a Sign Pattern Matrix
Creators: name: Koyuncu, Selcuk
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: A sign pattern matrix is a matrix whose entries are from the set {+,-,0}. The minimum rank of a sign pattern matrix A is the minimum of the rank of the real matrices whose entries have signs equal to the corresponding entries of A. It is conjectured that the minimum rank of every sign pattern matrix can be realized by a rational matrix. The equivalence of this conjecture to several seemingly unrelated statements are established. For some special cases, such as when A is entrywise nonzero, or the minimum rank of A is at most 2, or the minimum rank of A is at least n - 1,(where A is mxn), the conjecture is shown to hold.Connections between this conjecture and the existence of positive rational solutions of certain systems of homogeneous quadratic polynomial equations with each coefficient equal to either -1 or 1 are explored. Sign patterns that almost require unique rank are also investigated.

Analysis of Additive Risk Model with High Dimensional Covariates Using Partial Least Squares
Creators: name: Zhou, Yue
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: In this thesis, we consider the problem of constructing an additive risk model based on the right censored survival data to predict the survival times of the cancer patients, especially when the dimension of the covariates is much larger than the sample size. For microarray Gene Expression data, the number of gene expression levels is far greater than the number of samples. Such ­øsmall n, large p­ñ problems have attracted researchers to investigate the association between cancer patient survival times and gene expression profiles for recent few years. We apply Partial Least Squares to reduce the dimension of the covariates and get the corresponding latent variables (components), and these components are used as new regressors to fit the extensional additive risk model. Also we employ the time dependent AUC curve (area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve) to assess how well the model predicts the survival time. Finally, this approach is illustrated by re-analysis of the well known AML data set and breast cancer data set. The results show that the model fits both of the data sets very well.

Algebraic Concepts in the Study of Graphs and Simplicial Complexes
Creators: name: Zagrodny, Christopher
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: This paper presents a survey of concepts in commutative algebra that have applications to topology and graph theory. The primary
algebraic focus will be on Stanley-Reisner rings, classes of polynomial rings that can describe simplicial complexes.
Stanley-Reisner rings are defined via square-free monomial ideals. The paper will present many aspects of the theory of these ideals and discuss how they relate to important constructions in commutative algebra, such as finite generation of ideals, graded rings and modules, localization and associated primes, primary decomposition of ideals and Hilbert series. In particular, the
primary decomposition and Hilbert series for certain types of monomial ideals will be analyzed through explicit examples of
simplicial complexes and graphs.
Search for heavy resonances decaying into a Z or W boson and a Higgs boson in final states with leptons and b-jets in 139 fb−1 of pp collisions at √s = 13 TeV with the ATLAS detector
Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: Springer Berlin Heidelberg
Year: 2023

description: This article presents a search for new resonances decaying into a Z or W boson and a 125 GeV Higgs boson h, and it targets the ννb¯ ¯b, ` + ` − b ¯b, or ` ± νb¯b final states, where ` = e or µ, in proton-proton collisions at √ s = 13 TeV. The data used correspond to a total integrated luminosity of 139 fb−1 collected by the ATLAS detector during Run 2 of the LHC at CERN. The search is conducted by examining the reconstructed invariant or transverse mass distributions of Zh or W h candidates for evidence of a localised excess in the mass range from 220 GeV to 5 TeV. No significant excess is observed and 95% confidence-level upper limits between 1.3 pb and 0.3 fb are placed on the production cross section times branching fraction of neutral and charged spin-1 resonances and CP-odd scalar bosons. These limits are converted into constraints on the parameter space of the Heavy Vector Triplet model and the two-Higgs-doublet model.

Analysis of Longitudinal Data in the Case-Control Studies via Empirical Likelihood
Creators: name: Jian, Wen
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: The case-control studies are primary tools for the study of risk factors (exposures) related to the disease interested. The case-control studies using longitudinal data are cost and time efficient when the disease is rare and assessing the exposure level of risk factors is difficult. Instead of GEE method, the method of using a prospective logistic model for analyzing case-control longitudinal data was proposed and the semiparametric inference procedure was explored by Park and Kim (2004). In this thesis, we apply an empirical likelihood ratio method to derive limiting distribution of the empirical likelihood ratio and find one likelihood-ratio based confidence region for the unknown regression parameters. Our approach does not require estimating the covariance matrices of the parameters. Moreover, the proposed confidence region is adapted to the data set and not necessarily symmetric. Thus, it reflects the nature of the underlying data and hence gives a more representative way to make inferences about the parameter of interest. We compare empirical likelihood method with normal approximation based method, simulation results show that the proposed empirical likelihood ratio method performs well in terms of coverage probability.

Some Significant Results in the Classification Analysis of the Spectroscopic Evaluation of Cervical Cancer
Creators: name: Shen, C
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: Cervical Cancer is the second most common type of cancer in women worldwide (500,000 cases/year) and one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality in women in developing countries (230,000 cases/year).

The Spectrx LightTouch? device uses light to detect chemical and structural changes in cervical tissue. Light responds differently when exposed to normal cells and cancerous cells.

The purpose of this research is to find the best model that can be used to diagnose the early cervical cancerous conditions. To achieve this goal, we first tried to reduce the number of variables. We use statistical and non-statistical methods to search for useful explanatory variables. Partial Least Square, Logistic Regression, CART, MARS, SVM have been used to build models. Bootstrap was adopted to estimate the threshold of PLS model. Comparison of the results indicates that PLS produces relatively better model in terms of the performances and to control over model threshold.
Comparison and Model Selection for Larynx Cancer Data
Creators: name: Nguyen, James
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: Cancer is a dangerous disease causing the most deaths in the world today and around 550,000 deaths in America per year (American Cancer Society). Larynx cancer data was recorded by Kardaun (1983). The data was collected at a Dutch hospital during 1970 ? 1978. Ninety male adults with cancer of larynx were involved into the study. Each patient was divided into one of four groups depending on his or her illness condition. The data also recorded their age, lifetime, and year of entering the research. These are common factors as factors of other cancer data.

The purpose of this thesis is to apply proportional hazard regression model, additive hazard regression model, censored quantiles regression model, and censored linear regression model to analyze the above larynx cancer data and find the best regression model of data by using each method. Comparison and suggestion for which method should be used in specific situation are also made. Some related topics are also mentioned so we can have resource for future study.

Key words: right censoring, proportional risk model, additive risk model, quantiles regression model, linear regression model.
A Study of the Mean Residual Life Function and Its Applications
Creators: name: Mbowe, Omar
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2006

description: The mean residual life (MRL) function is an important function in survival analysis, actuarial science, economics and other social sciences and reliability for characterizing lifetime. Different methods have been proposed for doing inference on the MRL but their coverage probabilities for small sample sizes are not good enough. In this thesis we apply the empirical likelihood method and carry out a simulation study of the MRL function using different statistical distributions. The simulation study does a comparison of the empirical likelihood method and the normal approximation method. The comparisons are based on the average lengths of confidence intervals and coverage probabilities. We also did comparisons based on median lengths of confidence intervals for the MRL. We found that the empirical likelihood method gives better coverage probability and shorter confidence intervals than the normal approximation method for almost all the distributions that we considered. Applying the two methods to real data we also found that the empirical likelihood method gives thinner pointwise confidence bands.
