description: Low-latency instance segmentation of LiDAR point clouds is crucial in real-world applications because it serves as an initial and frequently-used building block in a robot's perception pipeline, where every task adds further delay. Particularly in dynamic environments, this total delay can result in significant positional offsets of dynamic objects, as seen in highway scenarios. To address this issue, we employ a new technique, which we call continuous clustering. Unlike most existing clustering approaches, which use a full revolution of the LiDAR sensor, we process the data stream in a continuous and seamless fashion. Our approach does not rely on the concept of complete or partial sensor rotations with multiple discrete range images; instead, it views the range image as a single and infinitely horizontally growing entity. Each new column of this continuous range image is processed as soon it is available. Obstacle points are clustered to existing instances in real-time and it is checked at a high-frequency which instances are completed in order to publish them without waiting for the completion of the revolution or some other integration period. In the case of rotating sensors, no problematic discontinuities between the points of the end and the start of a scan are observed. In this work we describe the two-layered data structure and the corresponding algorithm for continuous clustering. It is able to achieve an average latency of just 5 ms with respect to the latest timestamp of all points in the cluster. We are publishing the source code at https://github.com/UniBwTAS/continuous_clustering.

Potential pathways through which social relationships mediate cardiovascular reactivity during stress
Creators: name: Birmingham, Wendy
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Social relationships
Cardiovascular reactivity
Stress-buffering influences

description: The quality and quantity of one's relationships have been reliably linked to  morbidity and mortality. More recently, studies have focused on links between  relationships and cardiovascular reactivity as a physiological mechanism via the stressbuffering  hypothesis. This hypothesis suggests that social support moderates or buffers  the impact of stressful events. However, not all social relationships are consistently  positive and hence associated with stress-buffering influences. To examine the more  causal role of relationships on health we experimentally manipulated different  relationship types (supportive, aversive, indifferent, and ambivalent) through the  interpersonal behavior of an experimenter and examined this influence on cardiovascular  reactivity. Although we were unable to create ambivalence, manipulation checks  revealed expected significant experimenter main effects on ratings of helpfulness and  upset. More important, we found an experimenter positivity main effect on systolic  blood pressure reactivity, such that participants interacting with the high positivity  experimenter had significantly lower systolic blood pressure. Unexpectedly, male  participants interacting with a high negativity experimenter showed significantly lower  diastolic blood pressure change. These findings indicate that relationships may be  beneficial to one's cardiovascular health, but gender may influence motivational  processes that impact on cardiovascular reactivity.

description: We provide a formula for computing the overlap between two Generalized Coherent States of any rank one simple Lie algebra. Then, we apply our formula to spin coherent states (i.e. $\mathfrak{su}(2)$ algebra), pseudo-spin coherent states (i.e. $\mathfrak{su}(1,1)$ algebra), and the $\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})$ subalgebras of Virasoro. In all these examples, we show the emergence of a semi-classical behaviour from the set of coherent states and verify that it always happens when some parameter, depending on the algebra and its representation, becomes large.

description: Determining the number of propagating degrees of freedom in metric-affine theories of gravity requires the use of Hamiltonian constraint analysis, except in some subclasses of theories. We develop the technicalities necessary for such analyses and apply them to the Weyl-invariant and projective-invariant case of metric-affine-$R^2$ theory that is known to propagate just the graviton. This serves as a check of the formalism and a case study where we introduce appropriate ADM variables for the distortion 3-tensor tensor and its time derivatives, that will be useful when analyzing more general metric-affine theories where the physical spectrum is not known.

description: We analyze the overall benefits of an energy community cooperative game under which distributed energy resources (DER) are shared behind a regulated distribution utility meter under a general net energy metering (NEM) tariff. Two community DER scheduling algorithms are examined. The first is a community with centrally controlled DER, whereas the second is decentralized letting its members schedule their own DER locally. For both communities, we prove that the cooperative game's value function is superadditive, hence the grand coalition achieves the highest welfare. We also prove the balancedness of the cooperative game under the two DER scheduling algorithms, which means that there is a welfare re-distribution scheme that de-incentivizes players from leaving the grand coalition to form smaller ones. Lastly, we present five ex-post and an ex-ante welfare re-distribution mechanisms and evaluate them in simulation, in addition to investigating the performance of various community sizes under the two DER scheduling algorithms.

description: Missing data is a pervasive issue in both scientific and engineering tasks, especially for the modeling of spatiotemporal data. This problem attracts many studies to contribute to data-driven solutions. Existing imputation solutions mainly include low-rank models and deep learning models. The former assumes general structural priors but has limited model capacity. The latter possesses salient features of expressivity but lacks prior knowledge of the underlying spatiotemporal structures. Leveraging the strengths of both two paradigms, we demonstrate a low rankness-induced Transformer to achieve a balance between strong inductive bias and high model expressivity. The exploitation of the inherent structures of spatiotemporal data enables our model to learn balanced signal-noise representations, making it generalizable for a variety of imputation problems. We demonstrate its superiority in terms of accuracy, efficiency, and versatility in heterogeneous datasets, including traffic flow, solar energy, smart meters, and air quality. Promising empirical results provide strong conviction that incorporating time series primitives, such as low-rankness, can substantially facilitate the development of a generalizable model to approach a wide range of spatiotemporal imputation problems.

The B+ program: a behavior modification program incorporated into a therapeutic milieu for emotionally disturbed children.
Creators: name: Whetstone, Barbara Wright
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2012
Subjects: Behavior Modification
Mentally Ill Children

description: Residential treatment programs for emotionally disturbed children vary widely in their treatment approaches.  Many utilize behavior modification principles in combination with other treatment approaches. Despite the large number of programs in operation, the behavioral science literature lacks descriptions and evaluations of such programs which target a multitude of behavior occurring throughout the child's day.  The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether a combination of behavior modification and therapeutic milieu could be an effective approach to reducing maladaptive behaviors and increasing socially acceptable behaviors of emotionally disturbed children in residential treatment.  A therapeutic milieu which incorporated a behavior modification program, the "B+ Program," was chosen for study.  This program covered the children's waking hours and targeted behaviors which pervaded most of their interactions with the environment:  (1) participation in daily activities, (2) interpersonal relating to others, (3) control of physical behavior, (4) independent functioning, and (5) room care.  Change in behavior was evaluated for 20 boys from their first week on the program through week 16.  The subjects, ages 7-15, represented a wide rage of emotional disturbances found in children who need residential treatment.  The behavior definition, point scale and scoring method designed for the behavior modification component were used as a mechanism to evaluate change in behavior.  The scales for all behaviors were directional:  an increase in scores was contingent upon a reduction in undesired behaviors and an increase in desired behaviors.  Reinforcement was dispensed for acquiring criterion levels of performance, measured by percent of total possible points accrued during one week. Regression coefficients were obtained from weekly percentage scores utilizing a multivariate analysis of covariance.  Weekly coefficients were calculated for each child and for the total group, for each behavior category for 16 consecutive weeks.  Participation, Behavior, Relating and Independent Functioning scores were analyzed during two interaction periods:  mealtime and activity time.  Room Care scores were analyzed during tow time periods:  morning and evening.  Evaluation of change in behavior over time indicated that the combination of behavior modification and therapeutic milieu was significantly effective for the group of emotionally disturbed children (T=0, N=11, p

description: In this paper, we introduce a quantum-secured single-pixel imaging (QS-SPI) technique designed to withstand spoofing attacks, wherein adversaries attempt to deceive imaging systems with fake signals. Unlike previous quantum-secured protocols that impose a threshold error rate limiting their operation, even with the existence of true signals, our approach not only identifies spoofing attacks but also facilitates the reconstruction of a true image. Our method involves the analysis of a specific mode correlation of a photon-pair, which is independent of the mode used for image construction, to check security. Through this analysis, we can identify both the targeted image region by the attack and the type of spoofing attack, enabling reconstruction of the true image. A proof-of-principle demonstration employing polarization-correlation of a photon-pair is provided, showcasing successful image reconstruction even under the condition of spoofing signals 2000 times stronger than the true signals. We expect our approach to be applied to quantum-secured signal processing such as quantum target detection or ranging.

description: We present a project to implement a national common strategy for the mitigation of the steadily deteriorating Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) situation at the Italian radio telescopes. The project involves the Medicina, Noto, and Sardinia dish antennas and comprised the definition of a coordinated plan for site monitoring as well as the implementation of state-of-the-art hardware and software tools for RFI mitigation. Coordinated monitoring of frequency bands up to 40 GHz has been performed by means of continuous observations and dedicated measurement campaigns with fixed stations and mobile laboratories. Measurements were executed on the frequency bands allocated to the radio astronomy and space research service for shared or exclusive use and on the wider ones employed by the current and under-development receivers at the telescopes. Results of the monitoring campaigns provide a reference scenario useful to evaluate the evolution of the interference situation at the telescopes sites and a case series to test and improve the hardware and software tools we conceived to counteract radio frequency interference. We developed a multi-purpose digital backend for high spectral and time resolution observations over large bandwidths. Observational results demonstrate that the spectrometer robustness and sensitivity enable the efficient detection and analysis of interfering signals in radio astronomical data. A prototype off-line software tool for interference detection and flagging has been also implemented. This package is capable to handle the huge amount of data delivered by the most modern instrumentation on board of the Italian radio telecsopes, like dense focal plane arrays, and its modularity easen the integration of new algorithms and the re-usability in different contexts or telescopes.

description: In this dissertation, I address the concept of organizational identification in the Davis County Cooperative Society, or Kingston Order. Carefully crafted organizational rhetoric and powerful compliance structures to solidify the organizational messages produce a remarkably high degree of organizational identification among its members. After examining the historical and rhetorical influences that have led to the creation of the Kingston organization, I describe three major ideological platforms that guide the organization's policies and procedures: consecration/communal living, polygamy, and intermarriage (Chapter 2). I discuss three key terms that are instrumental to understanding organizational identification (OI) in the Kingston polygamous organization: rhetoric, organization, and religion (Chapter 3).
Buchner and the bible: function, configuration, and development of biblical quotations in the works of Georg Buchner

description: Georg Büchner's oeuvre contains an extraordinary number of biblical quotations. Although previous research has traced the origins of various quotations and analyzed the context;ualization of select quotations, a comprehensive investigation of the author's employment of biblical quotations is still lacking. In this study biblical quotations throughout Büchner's oeuvre are identified chronologically, classified according to their function (support or introduce an argument, aesthetically enhance the text;, or function as self-referential elements) and type (direct, modified, indirect quotation or allusion), and examined in the context; of each individual work. As became evident in the earlier stages of research for this study, the utilization of biblical quotations in Der Hessische Landbote, the author's first text; and an unintentional collaboration with Friedrich Ludwig Weidig, follows a distinct pattern. First, biblical allusions demonstrate the people's socioeconomic division, then they create both a Christ- and an Anti-Christ figure, and finally, they advocate political change in form of a violent revolution. As this study from there on demonstrates, each of Büchner's subsequent text;s utilizes a variation of this general pattern of biblical quotation employment modified to fit its genre, its aesthetics, and its particular strategy. Consequently, the divisions of mankind demonstrated may be - depending upon the text; - political, psychological or even physical, there may be a Christ-figure, an Anti-Christ figure or both, and the resulting call for change may be political, social, or economic. It is shown that this tripartite pattern of biblical quotation employment evolved considerably throughout Büchner's oeuvre, mirroring the author's  own evolving reception of the contemporary debate between an emerging materialist philosophy and the prevailing idealist discourse in philosophy and in science. This broader study of biblical quotations - demonstrating the repeated division of mankind, the introduction of a Christ-figure, and the call for social change - reveals both the author's consistent adherence to a pattern - despite diverse genres and themes - and his ability to utilize the Bible's versatility to fit each particular genre and theme.

description: The proliferation of mobile social networks (MSNs) has transformed information dissemination, leading to increased reliance on these platforms for news consumption. However, this shift has been accompanied by the widespread propagation of fake news, posing significant challenges in terms of public panic, political influence, and the obscuring of truth. Traditional data processing pipelines for fake news detection in MSNs suffer from lengthy response times and poor scalability, failing to address the unique characteristics of news in MSNs, such as prompt propagation, large-scale quantity, and rapid evolution. This paper introduces a novel system named Decaffe - a DHT Tree-Based Online Federated Fake News Detection system. Decaffe leverages distributed hash table (DHT)-based aggregation trees for scalability and real-time detection, and it employs two model fine-tuning methods for adapting to mobile network dynamics. The system's structure includes a root, branches, and leaves for effective dissemination of a pre-trained model and ensemble-based aggregation of predictive results. Decaffe uniquely combines centralized server-based and decentralized serverless model fine-tuning approaches with personalized model fine-tuning, addressing the challenges of real-time detection, scalability, and adaptability in the dynamic environment of MSNs.

Transparent antennas can potentially improve the usage of the covered area by allowing a percentage of incident solar light through. This work explores the  feasibility of antennas made out of transparent oxides (TCOs) and co-planar electromagnetically coupled feeds that can be placed on solar cells. TCOs are reviewed and simpli ed in order to better understand material properties on antenna design. Skin depth e ffects are studied in detail and an empirical equation is introduced to better model skin e ffects resultant from thin  film TCO  depositions. In the second part of the thesis coupled feeds for see-through meshed antennas are studied. Properties such as antenna gain, co-polarization, efficiency and cross-polarization are discussed.

description: Growing energy storage demands on lithium-ion batteries necessitate exploration of new electrochemical materials as next-generation battery electrode materials. In this work, we investigate the previously unexplored electrochemical properties of earth-abundant and tunable Zn1-xSn1+xN2 (x = -0.4 to x = 0.4) thin films, which show high electrical conductivity and high gravimetric capacity for Li insertion. Enhanced cycling performance is achieved compared to previously published end-members Zn3N2 and Sn3N4, showing decreased irreversible loss and increased total capacity and cycle stability. The average reversible capacity observed is > 1050 mAh/g for all compositions and 1220 mAh/g for Zn-poor (x = 0.2) films. Extremely Zn-rich films (x = -0.4) show improved adhesion; however, Zn-rich films undergo a phase transformation on the first cycle. Zn-poor and stoichiometric films do not exhibit significant phase transformations which often plague nitride materials and show no required overpotential at the 0.5 V plateau. Cation composition x is explored as a mechanism for tuning relevant mechanical and electrochemical properties, such as capacity, overpotential, phase transformation, electrical conductivity, and adhesion. The lithiation/delithiation experiments confirm the reversible electrochemical reactions. Without any binding additives, the as-deposited electrodes delaminate resulting in fast capacity degradation. We demonstrate the mechanical nature of this degradation through decreased electrode thinning, resulting in cells with improved cycling stability due to increased mechanical stability. Combining composition and electrochemical analysis, this work demonstrates for the first time composition dependent electrochemical properties for the ternary Zn1-xSn1+xN2 and proposes earth-abundant ternary nitride anodes for increased reversible capacity and cycling stability.

description: Microplasmas are currently used in displays, two-terminal breakdown switches, light sources, and medical instruments. They can also be used in miniaturized particle accelerators, micro-X-ray generators, UV and extreme UV sources, gas sensors, and in micropropulsion thrusters. They are also excellent candidates for applications in harsh environments that usually lead to the breakdown of silicon electronics. Here we develop their unique applications in X-band microwave analog and digital devices and circuits. To enable these applications, we identified a breakdown region, called sub-Paschen regime that enables generation of atmospheric plasmas at low voltages. The sub-Paschen regime, involves devices with a breakdown gap below 10 m in 1 atmosphere in air. This newly discovered operation regime enabled us to design plasma devices with relatively low operation voltages of 50-100 V. We developed microplasma devices similar to metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) with drain, source, and gate regions that used plasma channels for switching or amplification. The gate field effect was successfully tested under both direct current (dc) and alternating current (ac) excitations. A drain current modulation frequency up to 7 GHz was obtained. Additionally, we implemented logic gates with microplasma devices to realize simple Boolean logic operations including OR, AND, NOT, and XOR. The gates were then combined to obtain a 1-bit half-adder circuit. The MOPFET developed in this work achieved 3x reduction in the breakdown (device turn-on) voltage by operating in the sub-Paschen regime. In addition to the scaling in breakdown voltage, the microplasma field effect transistors (MOPFETs) are at least 50x smaller compared to plasma transistors reported in the past. The smallest MOPFET used in this work had a source-drain gap of 1 μm and showed unprecedented functionalities derived from plasmas at a microscale.

description: Silica nanoparticles (SiO2) have utility in a wide range of applications, such as biologic delivery platforms, imaging and diagnostic agents, and targeted therapeutic carriers. Recent improvements in regulating the geometry, porosity, and surface characteristics of SiO2 have further facilitated their biomedical applications. Concerns however remain about the toxic effects of SiO2 upon exposure to biological systems. The impacts of geometry, porosity, and surface characteristics of SiO2 on cellular toxicity and hemolytic activity were explored. It was shown that surface characteristics and porosity govern cellular toxicity. The cellular association of SiO2 increased in the following order: mesoporous SiO2 (aspect ratio 1, 2, 4, 8) < amine-modified mesoporous SiO2 (aspect ratio 1, 2, 4, 8) < amine-modified nonporous Stӧber SiO2 < nonporous Stӧber SiO2. Geometry did not seem to influence the extent of SiO2 cellular association. Hemolysis assay showed that the hemolytic activity was porosity- and geometry-dependent for pristine SiO2 and surface charge-dependent for amine-modified SiO2. The acute toxicity, biodistribution, and pharmacokinetics of SiO2 of systematically varied geometry, porosity, and surface characteristics were evaluated in immune-competent mice when administered intravenously. Results suggest that in vivo toxicity, biodistribution and pharmacokinetics of SiO2 were mainly influenced by nanoparticle porosity and surface characteristics. The maximum tolerated dose (MTD) increased in the following order: Mesoporous SiO2 (aspect ratio 1, 2, 8) at 30 - 65 mg/kg iv < amine-modified mesoporous SiO2 (aspect ratio 1, 2, 8) at 100 - 150 mg/kg < unmodified or amine-modified nonporous SiO2 at 450 mg/kg. The adverse reactions above MTDs were primarily caused by the mechanical obstruction of SiO2 in the vasculature that led to congestion in multiple vital organs and subsequent organ failure. The nanoparticles were taken up extensively by the liver and spleen. Mesoporous SiO2 exhibited higher accumulation in the lung than nonporous SiO2 of similar size. This accumulation was reduced by primary amine modification. Increasing the aspect ratio of amine-modified mesoporous SiO2 from 1 to 8 resulted in increased accumulation in the lung. These studies provide critical guidelines in rational design of SiO2 for nanomedicine applications.

description: Colloidal particles can create reconfigurable nanomaterials, with applications such as color-changing, self-repairing, and self-regulating materials and reconfigurable drug delivery systems. However, top-down methods for manipulating colloids are limited in the scale they can control. We consider here a new method for using chemical reactions to multiply the effects of existing top-down colloidal manipulation methods to arrange large numbers of colloids with single-particle precision, which we refer to as chemical herding. Using simulation-based methods, we show that if a set of chemically active colloids (herders) can be steered using external forces (i.e. electrophoretic, dielectrophoretic, magnetic, or optical forces), then a larger set of colloids (followers) that move in response to the chemical gradients produced by the herders can be steered using the control algorithms given in this paper. We also derive bounds that predict the maximum number of particles that can be steered in this way, and we illustrate the effectiveness of this approach using Brownian dynamics simulations. Based on the theoretical results and simulations, we conclude that chemical herding is a viable method for multiplying the effects of existing colloidal manipulation methods to create useful structures and materials.

description: In the current business world, data collection for business analysis is not difficult any more. The major concern faced by business managers is whether they can use data to build predictive models so as to provide accurate information for decision-making. Knowledge Discovery from Databases (KDD) provides us a guideline for collecting data through identifying knowledge inside data. As one of the KDD steps, the data mining method provides a systematic and intelligent approach to learning a large amount of data and is critical to the success of KDD. In the past several decades, many different data mining algorithms have been developed and can be categorized as classification, association rule, and clustering. These data mining algorithms have been demonstrated to be very effective in solving different business questions. Among these data mining types, classification is the most popular group and is widely used in all kinds of business areas. However, the exiting classification algorithm is designed to maximize the prediction accuracy given by the assumption of equal class distribution and equal error costs. This assumption seldom holds in the real world. Thus, it is necessary to extend the current classification so that it can deal with the data with the imbalanced distribution and unequal costs. In this dissertation, I propose an Iterative Cost-sensitive Naïve Bayes (ICSNB) method aimed at reducing overall misclassification cost regardless of class distribution. During each iteration, K nearest neighbors are identified and form a new training set, which is used to learn unsolved instances. Using the characteristics of the nearest neighbor method, I also develop a new under-sampling method to solve the imbalance problem in the second study. In the second study, I design a general method to deal with the imbalance problem and identify noisy instances from the data set to create a balanced data set for learning. Both of these two methods are validated using multiple real world data sets. The empirical results show the superior performance of my methods compared to some existing and popular methods.
