description: This study demonstrates how facial biometrics, acquired using multi-spectral sensors, such as RGB, depth, and infrared, assist the data accumulation in the process of authorizing users of automated and semi-automated access systems. This data serves the purposes of person authentication, as well as facial temperature estimation. We utilize depth data taken using an inexpensive RGB-D sensor to find the head pose of a subject. This allows the selection of video frames containing a frontal-view head pose for face recognition and face temperature reading. Usage of the frontal-view frames improves the efficiency of face recognition while the corresponding synchronized IR video frames allow for more efficient temperature estimation for facial regions of interest. In addition, this study reports emerging applications of biometrics in biomedical and health care solutions. Including surveys of recent pilot projects, involving new sensors of biometric data and new applications of human physiological and behavioral biometrics. It also shows the new and promising horizons of using biometrics in natural and contactless control interfaces for surgical control, rehabilitation and accessibility.

description: We present a Monte Carlo simulation for the response of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) to the galactic gravitational wave background. The simulated data streams are used to estimate the number and type of binary systems that will be individually resolved in a 1-year power spectrum. We find that the background is highly non-Gaussian due to the presence of individual bright sources, but once these sources are identified and removed, the remaining signal is Gaussian. We also present a new estimate of the confusion noise caused by unresolved sources that improves on earlier estimates.

description: Over the past five years there have been profound advances in nuclear physics based on effective field theory and the renormalization group. In this brief, we summarize these advances and discuss how they impact our understanding of nuclear systems and experiments that seek to unravel their unknowns. We discuss future opportunities and focus on modern topics in low-energy nuclear physics, with special attention to the strong connections to many-body atomic and condensed matter physics, as well as to astrophysics. This makes it an exciting era for nuclear physics.

Modelling The Coupled Economic-Demographic Dynamics In Time And Space

Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The aim of this work is to present and analyse various dynamical models of the human population, including external migration flows, as well as models that consider the interplay of demography and economy. In chapter 1, we present theoretical, methodological, and computational advances in the study of population growth, as well as combined economic and demographic dynamics. In chapter 2, we introduce a two-component PPM model with external migration. Using this model, we have analysed both temporary and long-term population dynamics, using data from Destatis for specific calculations, and introduced a significant concept of the threshold degree of migrant flow growth. In chapter 3, we introduce a continuous analogy of the model from previous chapter - McKendrickvon Foerster model, which is a system of first order PDE’s with non-lassical boundary conditions, and reduce its solution to Volterra integral equation of the second type. In chapter 4, we introduce a spatial-temporal economic-demographic model, which is a system of partial differential equations of the diffusion-reaction type. Using computer calculations, we investigated the underlying dynamical system, i.e. the corresponding nonspatial model. We have found unexpected regimes that show that in the long run, with a large initial wealth, the population may become extinct, despite experiencing growth in the short term. In chapter 5, we analysed the spatial-temporal model. More precisely, with the help of computer simulations we have considered different scenarios: the demographic invasion, needle-like perturbations, inhomogeneous perturbation of steady states. Interesting effects have been found such as a violation of the stability of the equilibrium in the needle perturbation of the initial state and the occurrence of chaos in the case of a space-inhomogeneous perturbation of the saddle point. In chapter 6, we have shown that Turing instability takes place in the economic-demographic model.

description: Intrinsic and parametric regression models are of high interest for the statistical analysis of manifold-valued data such as images and shapes. The standard linear ansatz has been generalized to geodesic regression on manifolds making it possible to analyze dependencies of random variables that spread along generalized straight lines. Nevertheless, in some scenarios, the evolution of the data cannot be modeled adequately by a geodesic. We present a framework for nonlinear regression on manifolds by considering Riemannian splines, whose segments are Bézier curves, as trajectories. Unlike variational formulations that require time-discretization, we take a constructive approach that provides efficient and exact evaluation by virtue of the generalized de Casteljau algorithm. We validate our method in experiments on the reconstruction of periodic motion of the mitral valve as well as the analysis of femoral shape changes during the course of osteoarthritis, endorsing Bézier spline regression as an effective and flexible tool for manifold-valued regression.

Thermodynamics of Coarse Grained Models of Super-Cooled Liquids

description: In recent papers, we have argued that kinetically constrained coarse grained models can be applied to understand dynamic properties of glass forming materials, and we have used this approach in various applications that appear to validate this view. In one such paper [J.P. Garrahan and D. Chandler, Proc. Nat. Acad. Sci. USA 100, 9710 (2003)], among other things we argued that this approach also explains why the heat capacity discontinuity at the glass transition is generally larger for fragile materials than for strong materials. In the preceding article, Biroli, Bouchaud and Tarjus (BB&T) [cond-mat/0412024] have objected to our explanation on this point, arguing that the class of models we apply is inconsistent with both the absolute size and temperature dependence of the experimental specific heat. Their argument, however, neglects parameters associated with the coarse graining. Accounting for these parameters, we show here that our treatment of dynamics is not inconsistent with heat capacity discontinuities.

description: We study electronic and topographic properties of the Si(335) surface, containing Au wires parallel to the steps. We use scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) supplemented by reflection of high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) technique. The STM data show the space and voltage dependent oscillations of the distance between STM tip and the surface which can be explained within one band tight binding Hubbard model. We calculate the STM current using nonequilibrium Keldysh Green function formalism.

An analysis of antiarrhythmic action in a series of related compounds with reference to their selectivity for ischaemic tissue
Creators: name: Walker, Mariah Louise
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Treatment with antiarrhythmic drugs has been largely ineffective with respect to reducing mortality in patients with myocardial infarction due to the paradoxical tendency of some antiarrhythmic drugs to have concommitant proarrhythmic effects. This phenomenon may arise when electrophysiologic effects in normal myocardium occur at doses similar to those that suppress arrhythmogenic substrates in ischaemic tissue. This thesis examines the actions of six structurally-related antiarrhythmic drugs to test the hypothesis that drugs which act selectively in ischaemic myocardium will be more effective antiarrhythmic agents than drugs which lack such selectivity. An isolated rat heart model was developed that allowed for simultaneous measurement of drug effects on optically-recorded action potentials in normal and ischaemic myocardium following coronary occlusion. This technique yielded quantitative indices of drug selectivity for ischaemic tissue with respect to effects on excitability (Vmax) and repolarisation (APD). These results were compared to the antiarrhythmic profiles of each drug as determined in separate rat models of non-ischaemic and ischaemic arrhythmias. In the latter experiments slope and goodness of fit (r²), which measure variability about the curve for antiarrhythmic protection, were interpreted as indices of selectivity for antiarrhythmic versus proarrhythmic effects. Potency for protection against ischaemic arrhythmias was inversely related to slope and goodness of fit to the antiarrhythmic dose-response curve. However, lack of potency did not compromise efficacy. Thus, effective protection against ischaemic arrhythmias was better defined by steep slopes and strong goodness of fit coefficients since these drugs showed maximum safety and efficacy, even though they tended to be less potent. Slope and goodness of fit correlated strongly with increased potency for prolonging repolarisation in ischaemic versus normal tissue, demonstrating that drugs which act selectively in ischaemic myocardium are more ideal therapeutic antiarrhythmic agents than drugs which lack such specificity.

description: In this article we test whether in Italy the off-farm participation decisions of household members in working age are taken jointly and what are the variables that affect them. We find that the decisions of the operator, the spouse and the eldest child are not joint. Conversely, the participation decision of the operator and the spouse, that is of the two household's members belonging to the same generation, are found to be joint. The results suggest that policy actions for the purpose of encouraging off-farm participation rely on measures geared at improving the level of education and providing childcare services.

description: Agriculture at high latitudes is expected to be a main beneficiary of a man-made climate change. A numerical model, using Norway as a case, is employed to analyze the impacts of a warmer climate on northern agriculture. The computations indicate that the current degree of self-sufficiency can be achieved with less budget support and higher economic welfare. However, it may be argued that environmental goods, such as landscape and biodiversity preservation, and rural settlement, are more important than self-sufficiency for northern agriculture. It is demonstrated that, in that case, welfare gains are substantially lower, and can even be negative.

description: We generalize the study of the noisy Kuramoto model, considered on a network of two interacting communities, to the case where the interaction strengths within and across communities are taken to be different in general. Using a geometric interpretation of the self-consistency equations developed in Part I of this series as well as perturbation arguments we are able to identify all solution boundaries in the phase diagram. This allows us to completely classify the phase diagram in the four dimensional parameter space and identify all possible bifurcation points. Furthermore, we analyze the asymptotic behavior of the solution boundaries. To illustrate these results and the rich behavior of the model we present phase diagrams for selected regions of the parameter space.

description: Paper aims analysing the situation of rural areas of Lithuania as well as support got from the budget of European Union facilitating the development of rural areas. Paper comprises three chapters. The rural areas are of substantial importance in terms of both surface area and population. At the beginning of 2002, the rural areas covered 63.6 thousand sq. km. This equalled 97.4 % of the total Lithuanian surface area. In 2003, the rural population was estimated at 1,145 million inhabitants. At the end of 2001 the total rural working population made up to 30 per cent of total Lithuanian employment, while agriculture, forestry and fishery employment rate was estimated at 17,8 per cent. Since Lithuania has joined the European Union in May 2004, population of rural areas starting to receive significant financial aid from the European budget. Largest share of EU financiers is going to be redistributed as the direct payments constituting in 2004 55 per cent of EU level. Programmes and finances, targeted directly to support the rural development, are considered in the so-called programming documents, prepared by the Government and approved by the European Commission.

In such theories one can find multiple pseudoscalars with axion-like couplings to matter, including a string scale axion, whose decay constant far exceeds the conventional cosmological bound. Such theories have several dark matter candidates.

description: Consistency of quality is important for brand loyalty and market share in consumer markets. Among consumers of beef, tenderness is the primary quality attribute. We use an experimental auction market to investigate how inconsistency in tenderness affects consumers' willingness to pay (WTP) for beef. We find that both the level and the spread of tenderness affect consumers' WTP for beef. Categorization the beef into various classes of tenderness increased the total value of the beef by 8%, which suggests that improved tenderness labeling may be a profitable strategy.

description: Collective behavior, both in real biological systems as well as in theoretical models, often displays a rich combination of different kinds of order. A clear-cut and unique definition of "phase" based on the standard concept of order parameter may therefore be complicated, and made even trickier by the lack of thermodynamic equilibrium. Compression-based entropies have been proved useful in recent years in describing the different phases of out-of-equilibrium systems. Here, we investigate the performance of a compression-based entropy, namely the Computable Information Density (CID), within the Vicsek model of collective motion. Our entropy is defined through a crude coarse-graining of the particle positions, in which the key role of velocities in the model only enters indirectly through the velocity-density coupling. We discover that such entropy is a valid tool in distinguishing the various noise regimes, including the crossover between an aligned and misaligned phase of the velocities, despite the fact that velocities are not used by this entropy. Furthermore, we unveil the subtle role of the time coordinate, unexplored in previous studies on the CID: a new encoding recipe, where space and time locality are both preserved on the same ground, is demonstrated to reduce the CID. Such an improvement is particularly significant when working with partial and/or corrupted data, as it is often the case in real biological experiments.

We use perturbative QCD to quantify these modifications. The diffractive parton distributions are shown to satisfy an inhomogeneous evolution equation. We emphasise that it is necessary to include both the gluonic and sea-quark t-channel components of the perturbative Pomeron. The corresponding Pomeron-to-parton splitting functions are derived in the Appendix.

description: This paper concerns with facial-based watchlist technology as a component of automated border control machines deployed in e-borders. The key task of the watchlist technology is to mitigate effects of mis-identification and impersonation. To address this problem, we developed a novel cost-based model of traveler risk assessment and proved its efficiency via intensive experiments using large-scale facial databases. The results of this study are applicable to any biometric modality to be used in watchlist technology.

description: Substantial structural change is taking place in EU agriculture. Average farm size is increasing and labour is continuing to move out of the sector. Slow growth in food demand and the effects of technological change on supply are likely to exert downward pressure on real agricultural prices. Within this context, policies at the EU and national levels will have mixed effects on economic adaptation and structural change. There is considerable uncertainty about the long-run viability of the so-called European model of agriculture, particularly given the intensification of pressures for change through economic globalisation.

description: We investigate the thermopower of a metal-molecule-metal junction taking into account thermal effects on the junction. Based on analytical expressions and numerical simulations we show that the thermoelectric potential reveals valuable information on the mechanisms controlling the electron transfer process, including coherent transmission and thermalized hopping. We also show that at high temperatures the position of the Fermi energy relative to the molecular states can be easily deduced from the thermoelectric potential. Standard current-voltage measurements are insensitive to this information.

description: This paper analyses the potential adoption and economic on-farm impact of Bt cotton in the Andalusia region (southern Spain). Survey data have shown that, on average, 58% of the responding farmers know about genetically modified (GM) cotton. Another outcome of the survey is that 95% of the farmers declaring that they know about GM cotton would be willing to grow Bt cotton. In the main cotton-producing districts, farmers' attitudes are positive, and they would be willing to adopt the technology. In areas where the crop is more important, the farmers who are willing to adopt Bt cotton represent over 75% of the area under cotton. As regards the on-farm economic impact resulting from a potential adoption, the assessment is that savings on the cost of direct pest control will be achieved by reducing the number of insecticide treatments. This analysis is applied to a representative Andalusian cotton farm. On the basis of the worst-case scenario derived from a review of the literature on the economic performance of Bt cotton, a reduction of 2.6 insecticide treatments is assumed. For our representative farm this would result in a cost saving of € 148.2 per hectare.

description: We study in this paper a compartmental SIR model for a population distributed in a bounded domain D of $\mathbb{R}^d$, d= 1, 2, or 3. We describe a spatial model for the spread of a disease on a grid of D. We prove two laws of large numbers. On the one hand, we prove that the stochastic model converges to the corresponding deterministic patch model as the size of the population tends to infinity. On the other hand, by letting both the size of the population tend to infinity and the mesh of the grid go to zero, we obtain a law of large numbers in the supremum norm, where the limit is a diffusion SIR model in D.

description: The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of participation in a Problem-based learning (PBL) teacher education program at the University of British Columbia. The PBL teacher education program included changes to the program of studies and changes to the practica experiences. First, this study examined changes in the PBL teacher education students' feelings of teacher efficacy, feelings of teacher preparedness, and learning styles arid strategies. The PBL students, showed significant increases in their feelings of personal teaching efficacy and feelings of teacher preparedness. In order to better understand the changes over time in the PBL teacher education students the present study also compared the opinions and attitudes towards inclusion of students with special needs, feelings of satisfaction with their programs, feelings of preparedness, and ratings of self-directed learning using both Likert-scale and short answer responses of the. same PBL students to 40 non-PBL teacher education students. The results indicated that proportionally more PBL than non-PBL teacher education students had increased concerns about inclusion of children with special needs. As well, proportionally more PBL than non-PBL teacher education students felt the time that they had spent in the classroom had the greatest influence on changes in their opinions. The results revealed that proportionally fewer PBL than non-PBL teacher education students felt well prepared. Participation in a PBL curriculum was not found to have an effect on students' feelings of satisfaction with their program or ratings of self-directed learning. To further examine the effects of a PBL curriculum in teacher education, the present study also examined the perceptions of university and school-based personnel who were involved with PBL. The results from this investigation revealed that the majority of the groups involved agreed that a PBL curriculum does have an effect on reasoning, interest, enthusiasm, and satisfaction of faculty and teacher education students. The majority of participant groups also were of the opinion that PBL and non-PBL curriculums provided equal knowledge of basic skills and principles, and professional preparation to the students. Implications of the findings are discussed.

description: Primordial stars are likely to be very massive $\geq30\Msun$, form in isolation, and will likely leave black holes as remnants in the centers of their host dark matter halos in the mass range $10^{6}-10^{10}\Ms$. Such early black holes, at redshifts z$\gtsim10$, could be the seed black holes for the many supermassive black holes found in galaxies in the local universe. If they exist, their mergers with nearby supermassive black holes may be a prime signal for long wavelength gravitational wave detectors. We simulate formation of black holes in the center of high redshift dark matter halos and explore implications of initial natal kick velocities conjectured by some formation models. The central concentration of early black holes in present day galaxies is reduced if they are born even with moderate kicks of tens of km/s. The modest kicks allow the black holes to leave their parent halo, which consequently leads to dynamical friction being less effective on the lower mass black holes as compared to those still embedded in their parent halos. Therefore, merger rates may be reduced by more than an order of magnitude. Using analytical and illustrative cosmological N--body simulations we quantify the role of natal kicks of black holes formed from massive metal free stars on their merger rates with supermassive black holes in present day galaxies. Our results also apply to black holes ejected by the gravitational slingshot mechanism.

description: Market liberalization in Central and Eastern Europe was targeted at establishing incentives that would improve economic performance. While substantial reorganization of enterprises is observed, firms can also be observed which devote resources towards establishing organizational legitimacy. Motivations for such behavior are considered and empirical evidence of its relationship with technical efficiency using a distance function approach is analyzed for the case of Czech agriculture. Contrary to the expectation that such behavior would be inefficient, we find that firms reap private economic gains from legitimacy efforts through improved access to agricultural land, investment subsidies and firm internal social capital. However, its effect on technical efficiency depends on whether such legitimacy efforts are valued by stakeholders or understood as a norm. Evidence of the trade-off between gains or sustainability from legitimacy and reorganization thus brings a new perspective to the understanding of structural changes in transition.

description: Externally controllable band gap properties of a material is crucial in designing optoelectronic devices with desirable properties on-demand. Here, a possibility of single parameter tuning of trivial to non-trivial topological band gap by the introduction of linear gain in an otherwise trivial insulator is investigated. Gain is selectively injected into a one dimensional lattice of dimers such that the resulting non-Hermitian Hamiltonian is symmetric under space-inversion but not under time-reversal. Inversion-symmetry of the lattice renders to probe the bulk-boundary correspondence and topological invariance by the bi-orthogonal Zak phase associated with a bulk Hamiltonian. Topological trivial to nontrivial phase transition and emergence of protected edge states are analytically shown to occur when the gain parameter is tuned across a non-Hermitian degeneracy. Tuneability of edge state location both at the boundary and inside the bulk by altering the gain distribution is discussed. Confirmation of gain-controlled topological edge state is reported in a realistic design of InGaAsP semiconductor cavity array.
High-enegy effective action from scattering of QCD shock waves

description: At high energies, the relevant degrees of freedom are Wilson lines - infinite gauge links ordered along straight lines collinear to the velocities of colliding particles. The effective action for these Wilson lines is determined by the scattering of QCD shock waves. I develop the symmetric expansion of the effective action in powers of strength of one of the shock waves and calculate the leading term of the series. The corresponding first-order effective action, symmetric with respect to projectile and target, includes both up and down fan diagrams and pomeron loops.

description: Radio emission from the high- and super-Eddington accreting active galactic nuclei (AGNs) has various origins: a persistent jet, the magnetized corona and the wind-like outflows. It is now still unclear which is the leading mechanism responsible for the observed radio emission and how the radio emission is related to other characteristic parameters such as the Eddington ratio and black hole mass. In this paper, we present the 5 GHz Very Large Array (VLA) observational results of a sample of 25 extremely high Eddington accreting supermassive black holes (EESBHs, the Eddington ratio close to or above one) from narrow-line Seyfert 1 galaxies, among which 22 sources are detected. Most of EESBHs show a compact radio structure from a few hundred parsecs to one-kiloparsec scale. We estimated the lowest star formation rate surface density required for producing the observed radio emission, and found it is higher than the largest value previously detected in circumnuclear starburst galaxies, implying that the radio emission is from the AGN activity. Along with a comparison sample, we find an overall inverse radio loudness and Eddington ratio correlation ranging from sub- to super-Eddington ratios. The high-Eddington and mildly super-Eddington AGNs (-0.5~0.6) have a flatter radio spectrum, along with its low radio luminosity: L_R/L_X~10^-5, their radio emission is likely dominated by a magnetized corona, and a radiation pressure caused jet is also proposed in this paper.

description: We prove the following result: Let K be a lattice, let D be a distributive lattice with zero, and let $ϕ$: Con K $\to$ D be a {∨, 0}-homomorphism, where Conc K denotes the {∨, 0}-semilattice of all ﬁnitely generated congruences of K. Then there are a lattice L, a lattice homomorphism f : K $\to$ L, and an isomorphism $\ga$: Conc L $\to$ D such that $\ga$ Conc f = $ϕ$. Furthermore, L and f satisfy many additional properties, for example: (i) L is relatively complemented. (ii) L has deﬁnable principal congruences. (iii) If the range of $ϕ$ is coﬁnal in D, then the convex sublattice of L generated by f[K] equals L. We mention the following corollaries, that extend many results obtained in the last decades in that area: -- Every lattice K such that Conc K is a lattice admits a congruence-preserving extension into a relatively complemented lattice. -- Every {∨, 0}-direct limit of a countable sequence of distributive lattices with zero is isomorphic to the semilattice of compact congruences of a relatively complemented lattice with zero.

description: Projections of live cattle trade in the EU-25 assist to reduce the uncertainty on the risk of importing animal diseases in the Netherlands. The accession of 10 member states to the European Union has a potentially large impact on livestock trade in the EU as it liberalized in one stroke a trade that was administered by the Management Committee for Beef until May 1, 2004. The approach combines AG-Memod partial equilibrium with GTAP general equilibrium modelling in order to estimate the impact of quota liberalization. Quota removal will substantially alter the regional structure of livestock imports, as the share of new EU member states in the east triples to 25%. The risk outlook indicates a need for enhanced animal health services in the new member states.

We have obtained the fractal equation of deceleration parameter and tension of the domain wall. It is observed that, while domain walls exist at early times, they disappear at late time. Finally, some physical parameters of the model are discussed using graphs.

description: This paper addresses the facial biometric-enabled watchlist technology in which risk detectors are mandatory mechanisms for early detection of threats, as well as for avoiding offense to innocent travelers. We propose a multiparametric cost assessment and relative entropy measures as risk detectors. We experimentally demonstrate the effects of mis-identification and impersonation under various watchlist screening scenarios and constraints. The key contributions of this paper are the novel techniques for design and analysis of the biometric-enabled watchlist and the supporting infrastructure, as well as measuring the impersonation impact on e-border performance.
