description: In the article it’s mentioned that mathematical models of water distribution in channels of irrigation systems under discrete water supply conditions have been developed. These include the models of direct and kinematical waves, diffusive & convectional model, and complete model of unsteady water flow in channel sections. Also, the criteria of quality of water distribution in the channel sections, for lateral water intakes and pumping stations have been defined. For them, discrete conditions, initial and border conditions, scopes of variables and limitations on the water distribution process in channels have been determined.

description: The paper describes a part of a research on the migrants’ reception system in Riace. It aims at being a reflection on the opportunity of designing good reception practices related to the current phenomenon of migration, following at the same time the purpose of regenerating the territories of small municipalities facing depopulation and abandonment. It should appear as a system able to translate the relationships between territory, city, human resources and hospitality into a phenomenon of resilience. The research was mainly conducted on field through direct experience within the municipality, and supported by studies of direct and indirect sources and the current legislation. Through the case study analysis, it was therefore possible to develop a strategy which could be successful in similar contexts. What is investigated is a possible study method for the territory in order to define the presence of favourable or unfavourable conditions for the implementation of a project of urban regeneration and hospitality. In particular it considers social, economic, urban and architectural conditions through the concepts of human, social, institutional and physical capital, emphasizing the qualities of a place able to create forms of sociality and collective development. Hence, the aim is to put two current issues, migration and depopulation of minor areas, together into a system towards the opportunity of a symbiotic solution.

description: We present Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) Cycle 0 Band 7 observations of an extremely metal-poor dwarf starburst galaxy in the Local Universe, SBS0335-052 (12+log(O/H)~7.2). With these observations, dust is detected at 870micron (ALMA Band 7), but 87% of the flux in this band is due to free-free emission from the starburst. We have compiled a spectral energy distribution (SED) of SBS0335-052 that spans almost 6 orders of magnitude in wavelength and fit it with a spherical dust shell heated by a single-age stellar population; the best-fit model gives a dust mass of (3.8+/-0.6)x10^4 Msun. We have also constructed a SED including Herschel archival data for IZw18, another low-metallicity dwarf starburst (12+log(O/H)=7.17), and fit it with a similar model to obtain a dust mass of (3.4+/-1.0)x10^2 Msun. Compared with their atomic gas mass, the dust mass of SBS0335-052 far exceeds the prediction of a linear trend of dust-to-gas mass ratio with metallicity, while IZw18 falls far below. We use gas scaling relations to assess a putative missing gas component in both galaxies and find that the missing, possibly molecular, gas in SBS0335-052 is a factor of 6 times higher than the value inferred from the observed HI column density; in IZw18 the missing component is 4 times smaller. Ultimately, despite their similarly low metallicity, the differences in gas and dust column densities in SBS0335-052 and IZw18 suggest that metal abundance does not uniquely define star-formation processes. At some level, self-shielding and the survival of molecules may depend just as much on gas and dust column density as on metallicity. The effects of low metallicity may at least be partially compensated for by large column densities in the interstellar medium.

Consistent theory for causal non-locality beyond Born's rule

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: According to the theory of relativity and causality, a special type of correlation beyond quantum mechanics is possible in principle under the name of {\it non-local box}. The concept has been introduced from the principle of non-locality which satisfies relativistic causality. In this paper, we show that a correlation leading to the non-local box is possible to be derived consistently if we release the one of major axioms in quantum mechanics, {\it Born's rule}. This allows us to obtain a theory which in one end of the spectrum agrees with the classical probability and in the other end, agrees with the theory of non-local causality. At the same time, we argue that the correlation lies in a space with special mathematical constraints such that a physical realization of the correlation through a probability measure is not possible in one direction of its limit and is possible in the other limit.

description: The radio interferometric positioning system (RIPS) is a novel positioning solution used in wireless sensor networks. This letter explores the ranging accuracy of RIPS in two configurations. In the linear step-frequency (LSF) configuration, we derive the mean square error (MSE) of the maximum likelihood (ML) estimator. In the random step-frequency (RSF) configuration, we introduce average MSE to characterize the performance of the ML estimator. The simulation results fit well with theoretical analysis. It is revealed that RSF is superior to LSF in that the former is more robust in a jamming environment with similar ranging accuracy.

description: Since their discovery by Reines et al. (1956), reactor antineutrinos have been vital in neutrino fundamental research, including a significant role in establishing the neutrino oscillation phenomenon as part of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Much of the world's knowledge, such as the knowledge of θ13, θ12, Δm2, δm2, and even a critical insight on mass-ordering, will rely heavily on these kinds of experiments. Their unique ability for high precision owes much to one of the highest signal-to-backgrounds in neutrino science, thus making them ideal tools for discovery-potential explorations within and beyond today's neutrino oscillation standard picture. Most recently, the LiquidO technology, born initially as a byproduct of the Double Chooz reactor experiment, is expected to boost the background rejection capability by employing unique event-wise tagging of e+'s emitted upon antineutrino interactions.The new CLOUD experiment, supported by the eponymous international collaboration (19 academic institutions, including EDF, in 11 countries worldwide), will be presented for the first time. CLOUD relies on the first ever ≲10-ton LiquidO detector, which will be deployed at the new Chooz's "ultra-near detector" site, located ≳30 m from one of the nuclear reactors with minimal overburden (order ≤5m). With more than 10,000 antineutrino interactions per day and an expected signal-to-background ≥100, CLOUD is designed for unprecedented fundamental physics. The CLOUD-I addresses the fundamental physics programme associated with the primary goal of the fully-funded (EIC & UKRI) "AntiMatter-OTech" innovation-based project that aims to develop non-intrusive industrial reactor monitoring. Also under active exploration, the subsequent CLOUD-II and CLOUD-III are independent neutrino scientific programmes exploring novel solar and geo-neutrino detection methodologies otherwise impossible today. The proposed presentation would thus describe the next generation of Chooz-based experiments within the scientific prospect of the large SuperChooz experiment — also under exploration.

description: Background In out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA), 10–50% of patients have return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC) before hospital arrival. It is important to investigate the relation between time-to-ROSC and survival to determine the optimal timing of transport to the hospital in patients without ROSC. Methods: We analyzed data of OHCA patients with a presumed cardiac cause (excluding traumatic and other obvious non-cardiac causes) and ROSC before hospital arrival from the Amsterdam Resuscitation Study (ARREST) database. ROSC included those patients whose ROSC was persistent or transient before or during transport, lasting ≥1 min. Of these data, we analyzed the association between the time of emergency medical services (EMS) arrival until ROSC (time-to-ROSC) and 30-day survival. Results: Of 3632 OHCA patients with attempted resuscitation, 810 patients with prehospital ROSC were included. Of these, 332 (41%) survived 30 days. Survivors had a significant shorter time-to-ROSC compared to non-survivors of median 5 min (IQR 2,10) vs. median 12 min (IQR 9,17) (p < 0.001). Of the survivors, 90% achieved ROSC within 15 min compared to 22 min of non-survivors. In a multivariable model adjusted for known system determinants time-to-ROSC per minute was significantly associated with 30-day survival (OR 0.89; 95%CI 0.86–0.91). A ROC curve showed 8 min as the time-to-ROSC with the best test performance (sensitivity of 0.72 and specificity of 0.77). Conclusion: In OHCA patients with prehospital ROSC survival significantly decreases with increasing time-to-ROSC. Of all patients, 90% of survivors had achieved ROSC within the first 15 min of EMS resuscitation. The optimal time for the decision to transport is between 8 and 15 min after EMS arrival.
Time-Resolved Spectral Catalog of INTEGRAL/SPI GRBs

description: Since its launch in 2002 INTEGRAL/SPI has observed many gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). We used all available
 data up to the end of 2021 to create a time-resolved spectral catalogue of SPI GRBs for both empirical models
 and a physical synchrotron model. We compare the parameter distributions from the empirical model catalogue
 to the ones from Fermi/GBM and see that INTEGRAL/SPI can constrain GRB spectra well only over a much
 narrower peak energy range, compared to Fermi/GBM. From the physical synchrotron model catalogue we can
 support the recent results with Fermi/GBM data that this model is capable of fitting most GRB spectra well
 and that it results in a broad variety of cooling regimes in GRB spectra. In addition we checked for GRBs in
 the INTEGRAL/SPI data that have not been reported before and can identify two new GRBs. In this talk
 I will present the methods we used to create the catalogues and identify the two new GRBs as well as show
 the implications our results have on theoretical GRB models but also possible future mission planing of GRB
 detectors.

description: In the territories of Bordeaux metropolitan area a transversal legal tool is available, an urban master plan known as SCoT ‘Grenelle’, which sets out a well-established intervention framework shared by all actors of local landscape. A structure, the Sysdau, is leading an implementation already started but requiring a lot more resources to let its orientations and objectives find applications and tangible translations onsite. The difference in human or financial resources between the metropolis and its neighbouring territories represents anyway a hindrance for the implementation of such dynamic. For that, the projects carried by SYSDAU propose to counterbalance metropolitan forces through an enhancement of periurban territories. All these projects are part of transition and territorial innovation. They are thus in line with the imperatives of adaptation necessary to build tomorrow’s resilient metropolises in direct contact with their natural and institutional environment.

description: We use ZENS data at low redshift to study the dependence of the quenched satellite fraction and of the morphological mix of these quenched satellites, on three different environmental parameters: group halo mass, halo-centric distance and large-scale structure over-density. The fraction of quenched satellites is independent of halo mass and the surrounding large-scale overdensity, but increases towards the centres of the haloes, as previously found. The morphological mix is, however, constant with radial position, indicating that the well-known morphology-density relation results from the increasing fraction of quenched galaxies towards the centres of haloes. The constancy of the morphological outcome suggests that mass-quenching and satellite quenching have the same effect on the morphologies of the galaxies. The quenched satellites have larger B/T and smaller half-light radii than the star-forming satellites. These are mostly due to differences in the disks. The bulges in quenched satellites have very similar luminosities and surface brightness profiles, and any mass growth of the bulges associated with quenching cannot greatly change these quantities. The quenched disks are fainter and have smaller scale lengths than in star-forming satellites. This can be explained either by a differential fading of the disks or if disks were generally smaller in the past, both of which are expected in an inside-out growth of disks. At least at low redshifts, the structure of massive quenched satellites is produced by processes that operate before quenching takes place. A comparison with semi-analytic models argues for a reduction in the efficiency of group halos in quenching their disk satellites and for mechanisms to increase the B/T of low mass quenched satellites.

description: Objective: Trauma, with resultant bleeding, is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world, however the best possible method of bleeding control by immediate responders is unknown. We performed a systematic review of the effectiveness of treatment modalities for severe, life-threatening external bleeding in the out-of-hospital first aid setting. Methods: We followed the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions methodology and report results according to PRISMA guidelines. We included randomized controlled trials, non-randomized comparative studies and case series investigating adults and children with severe, life-threatening external bleeding who were treated with therapies potentially suitable for first aid providers. We assessed the certainty of the evidence and risk of bias. Outcomes were prioritized by first aid specialists based on importance for patients and decision-makers and included mortality due to bleeding, all-cause mortality, cessation of bleeding, time to cessation of bleeding, a decrease in bleeding and complications/adverse effects. Results were reported in Evidence Profiles. Results: Of the 1,051 full-text articles screened, 107 were included for analysis including 22,798 patients. The primary methods of bleeding control were tourniquets (n=49), hemostatic dressings (n=34), hemostatic devices (n= 14), pressure dressings/bandages/devices (n=8), pressure points (n=4), including two studies that reported multiple hemorrhage control methods. Overall, certainty of evidence was very low and often relied on indirect evidence and poorly controlled studies. Tourniquets were associated with a decrease in mortality when compared with direct manual pressure. Hemostatic dressings resulted in a shorter time to hemostasis than direct manual pressure using standard dressings. Direct manual compression resulted in a shorter time to hemostasis than pressure dressings/devices. Conclusion: Overall, data regarding the control of life-threatening bleeding is of very low certainty, making it difficult to draw robust conclusions for treatment by immediate responders. While more robust data is needed on first aid treatments of life-threatening bleeding, this systematic review aggregates the most comprehensive to date to help guide recommendations.
Natural Supersymmetry and Dynamical Flavour with Metastable Vacua

Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We show how gauged flavour breaking and N = 1 supersymmetry breaking can be dynamically aligned to produce natural models. Supersymmetry is broken in a metastable vacuum, while a weakly gauged flavour symmetry is identified with an SU(3)_F subgroup of the global symmetry of the SQCD model. We find that alignment can easily occur either through strongly coupled flavour models, with SQCD bound states playing the role of flavons, or entirely weakly coupled and renormalizable models with elementary SU(3)_F adjoint flavons. In both cases it is essential that the SU(3)_F breaking, and hence all the flavour structure, is driven dynamically by the SUSY breaking. The resulting flavour gauge mediation in conjunction with the usual gauge mediation contribution leads to naturally light third generations squarks, with first and second generations above exclusions.

description: We use the Millennium Simulation series to investigate the mass and redshift dependence of the concentration of equilibrium cold dark matter (CDM) halos. We extend earlier work on the relation between halo mass profiles and assembly histories to show how the latter may be used to predict concentrations for halos of all masses and at any redshift. Our results clarify the link between concentration and the ``collapse redshift'' of a halo as well as why concentration depends on mass and redshift solely through the dimensionless ``peak height'' mass parameter, $ν(M,z)=δ_{\rm crit}(z)/σ(M,z)$. We combine these results with analytic mass accretion histories to extrapolate the $c(M,z)$ relations to mass regimes difficult to reach through direct simulation. Our model predicts that, at given $z$, $c(M)$ should deviate systematically from a simple power law at high masses, where concentrations approach a constant value, and at low masses, where concentrations are substantially lower than expected from extrapolating published empirical fits. This correction may reduce the expected self-annihilation boost factor from substructure by about one order of magnitude. The model also reproduces the $c(M,z)$ dependence on cosmological parameters reported in earlier work, and thus provides a simple and robust account of the relation between cosmology and the mass-concentration-redshift relation of CDM halos.

description: In the history of quantum mechanics, various types of uncertainty relationships have been introduced to accommodate different operational meanings of Heisenberg uncertainty principle. We derive an optimized entropic uncertainty relation (EUR) that quantifies an amount of quantum uncertainty in the scenario of successive measurements. The EUR characterizes the limitation in the measurability of two different quantities of a quantum state when they are measured through successive measurements. We find that the bound quantifies the information between the two measurements and imposes a condition that is consistent with the recently-derived error-disturbance relationship.

Enrichment history of r-process elements shaped by a merger of neutron star pairs

description: The origin of r-process elements remains unidentified and still puzzles us. The recent discovery of evidence for the ejection of r-process elements from a short-duration gamma-ray burst singled out neutron star mergers (NSMs) as their origin. In contrast, core-collapse supernovae are ruled out as the main origin of heavy r-process elements (A>110) by recent numerical simulations. However, the properties characterizing NSM events - their rarity and high yield of r-process elements per event - have been claimed to be incompatible with the observed stellar records on r-process elements in the Galaxy. We add to this picture with our results, which show that the observed constant [r-process/H] ratio in faint dwarf galaxies and one star unusually rich in r-process in the Sculptor galaxy agree well with this rarity of NSM events. Furthermore, we found that a large scatter in the abundance ratios of r-process elements to iron in the Galactic halo can be reproduced by a scheme that incorporates an assembly of various protogalactic fragments, in each of which r-process elements supplied by NSMs pervade the whole fragment while supernovae distribute heavy elements only inside the regions swept up by the blast waves. Our results demonstrate that NSMs occurring at Galactic rate of 12-23 per Myr are the main site of r-process elements, and we predict the detection of gravitational waves from NSMs at a high rate with upcoming advanced detectors.

We show that the proposed formula cannot generally be correct, and we suggest one possible source of the error. Our reasoning can be generalized to show no quantity (such as Hall conductivity) expected to be constant throughout an entire phase of matter can possibly be given as the expectation of any time independent short ranged operator.

description: We consider a non-interacting Fermi gas in $d$ dimensions, both in the non-relativistic and relativistic case. The system of size $L^{d}$ is initially prepared into two halves $\mathcal{L}$ and $\mathcal{R}$, each of them thermalized at two different temperatures, $T_{\mathcal{L}}$ and $T_{\mathcal{R}}$ respectively. At time $t=0$ the two halves are put in contact and the entire system is left to evolve unitarily. We show that, in the thermodynamic limit, the time evolution of the particle and energy densities is perfectly described by a semiclassical approach which permits to analytically evaluate the correspondent stationary currents. In particular, in the case of non-relativistic fermions, we find a low-temperature behavior for the particle and energy currents which is independent from the dimensionality $d$ of the system, being proportional to the difference $T_{\mathcal{L}}^{2}-T_{\mathcal{R}}^{2}$. Only in one spatial dimension ($d=1$), the results for the non-relativistic case agree with the massless relativistic ones.

For patients enrolled between February 2018 and February 2020, clinical characteristics and asthma outcomes were assessed by sex, race, ethnicity, age at enrollment, and age at diagnosis. Treating subspecialists reported exacerbations, exacerbation-related emergency department visits, and asthma hospitalizations from 12 months before enrollment through the latest data collection. Patients completed the St. George’s Respiratory Questionnaire and the Asthma Control Test at enrollment. Among 1884 enrolled patients, the majority were female (69%), reported White race (75%), non-Hispanic ethnicity (69%), and were diagnosed with asthma as adults (60%). Female, Black, Hispanic, and younger patients experienced higher annualized rates of exacerbations that were statistically significant compared with male, White, non-Hispanic, and older patients, respectively. Black, Hispanic, and younger patients also experienced higher rates of asthma hospitalizations. Female and Black patients exhibited poorer symptom control and poorer health-related quality of life. In this contemporary, real-world cohort of subspecialist-treated adults with SA, female sex, Black race, Hispanic ethnicity, and younger age were important determinants of health, potentially attributable to physiologic and social factors. Knowledge of these disparities in SA disease burden among subspecialist-treated patients may help optimize care for all patients.

The XUV environment of the 45 Myr old super-Neptune DS Tuc Ab
Creators: name: King, George W
Publisher: name: Zenodo

description: X-ray and extreme-ultraviolet irradiation of exoplanets is thought to be able to drive significant atmospheric escape for planets orbiting close to their host star. The level of irradiation is highest in the first 100 Myr of a star's life, and there is evidence that points to young planets in open clusters and stellar associations being larger than their older counterparts. We present an investigation of the high-energy environment of the 45 Myr old exoplanetary system DS Tuc, using observations taken across four different epochs with Chandra. For the first time at X-ray wavelengths, we successfully fully separate the PSFs of the two stars in the system. The stars show significant variation within and between epochs, including flares, and we compare the amplitude of that variation to the observed scatter in empirical relations of X-ray emission vs stellar age/rotation. Finally, we make predictions as to the future evolution of the currently super-Neptune-sized planet DS Tuc Ab.
Inflationary Steps in the Planck Data

description: We extend and improve the modeling and analysis of large-amplitude, sharp inflationary steps for second order corrections required by the precision of the Planck CMB power spectrum and for arbitrary Dirac-Born-Infeld sound speed. With two parameters, the amplitude and frequency of the resulting oscillations, step models improve the fit by $Δχ^2 = -11.4$. Evidence for oscillations damping before the Planck beam scale is weak: damping only improves the fit to $Δχ^2 = -14.0$ for one extra parameter, if step and cosmological parameters are jointly fit, in contrast to analyses which fix the latter. Likewise, further including the sound speed as a parameter only marginally improves the fit to $Δχ^2 = -15.2$ but has interesting implications for the lowest multipole temperature and polarization anisotropy. Since chance features in the noise can mimic these oscillatory features, we discuss tests from polarization power spectra, lensing reconstruction and squeezed and equilateral bispectra that should soon verify or falsify their primordial origin.

description: This study investigated the association between varying cutoffs for Medication Adherence (MA) among physician-diagnosed asthma patients and subsequent association with asthma exacerbation. We linked four administrative health databases obtained from the Population Data in British Columbia. Index cases were physician-diagnosed asthma patients between January 1, 1998, to December 31, 1999, aged 18 years and older. Patients were prospectively assessed in the follow-up period from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2018, to identify asthma exacerbation. Two proxy measures were used to assess MA: the proportion of days covered (PDC) and the medication possession ratio (MPR). Using the generalized estimating equation (GEE) logistic regression adjusted for patient covariates, the outcome of “asthma exacerbation” was modeled against varying MA cutoffs; excellent ‘≥0.90’; very good ‘0.80–0.89’; good ‘0.70–0.799’; moderate ‘0.6–0.699’; mild ‘0.50–0.599’ compared to poor ‘<0.50’ for both PDC and MPR. The sample included 68,211 physician-diagnosed asthma patients with a mean age of 48.2 years and 59.3% females. The adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) at the various cutoff for PDC-levels predicting asthma exacerbation events were: Excellent MA [OR = 0.84, 95% (0.82–0.86), very good MA [OR: 0.86, (0.83, 0.89), good MA [0.91, (0.88–0.94)]; moderate MA [0.93, (0.90–0.96)]; mild MA [0.95, (0.92–0.98)]; compared to poor MA level. Threshold levels for both the PDC and MPR measure greater than 0.80 provided optimal threshold associated with over 15% reduced likelihood of experiencing asthma exacerbations. Intervention aimed at improving asthma exacerbation events in adult asthma patients should encourage increased medication adherence threshold level greater than 0.80.

description: This study assesses the risk of severe clinical outcomes during hospitalizations of adults with asthma and/or COPD plus COVID-19 and compares those risks with those during hospitalizations of adults with asthma and/or COPD without COVID-19. We used data from 877 U.S. hospitals from the Premier Healthcare Database during March 2020–March 2021. Hospitalizations (n = 311,215) among patients aged ≥18 years with an ICD-10-CM diagnosis involving asthma or COPD were classified into three groups: adults with asthma (but not COPD), adults with COPD (but not asthma), and adults with both asthma and COPD. We used multivariable Poisson regression to assess associations of severe clinical outcomes [intensive care unit (ICU) admission, use of invasive mechanical ventilation (IMV), and death] and COVID-19 status. The percentage of hospitalizations among patients with asthma and COVID-19 resulting in ICU admission, IMV, and death were 46.9%, 14.0%, and 8.0%, respectively. These risks were higher than those among patients with asthma without COVID-19 (adjusted risk ratio [aRR], 1.17 [95% confidence interval (CI), 1.14–1.21], 1.61 [95% CI, 1.50–1.73], and 5.56 [95% CI, 4.89–6.32]), respectively. Risks of ICU admission, IMV, and death were also high among patients with COPD and COVID-19 and exceeded the corresponding risks among patients with COPD without COVID-19. Hospitalizations among patients with asthma and/or COPD with COVID-19 had a more severe clinical course than hospitalizations for asthma and/or COPD exacerbations without COVID-19.

description: We present a machine learning framework for modeling protein dynamics. Our approach uses L1-regularized, reversible hidden Markov models to understand large protein datasets generated via molecular dynamics simulations. Our model is motivated by three design principles: (1) the requirement of massive scalability; (2) the need to adhere to relevant physical law; and (3) the necessity of providing accessible interpretations, critical for both cellular biology and rational drug design. We present an EM algorithm for learning and introduce a model selection criteria based on the physical notion of convergence in relaxation timescales. We contrast our model with standard methods in biophysics and demonstrate improved robustness. We implement our algorithm on GPUs and apply the method to two large protein simulation datasets generated respectively on the NCSA Bluewaters supercomputer and the Folding@Home distributed computing network. Our analysis identifies the conformational dynamics of the ubiquitin protein critical to cellular signaling, and elucidates the stepwise activation mechanism of the c-Src kinase protein.

description: When deriving a formula for the Hall conductivity of interacting electrons in Phys. Rev. B 86, 165133, we have relied on an unjustified implicit assumption that a certain gauge choice could be made. Only under this condition would the formula follow. If this condition fails, the formula we derived does not lead to the exactly quantized value of the Hall conductance in fractional Chern insulators.

Multi-Objective Optimisation

description: Several bodies of work have demonstrated a correlation between a stellar host’s chemical composition and the presence of planetary companions, particularly in the case of gas-giant planet occurrence. Assuming that there is a generalisable transformation function which can generate a probability score of a star being a gas-giant host, stellar chemical abundance datasets could be used to train an ML classifier capable of discriminating between the host and comparison samples. Since abundance data tends to be
 incomplete, imputation techniques are also required before training. To reach both goals simultaneously, that is, a generalisable classification model and reliable imputation, we employ a multi-objective optimisation model based on the NSGA-II algorithm. This allows for an effective search of the parameter space for Pareto solutions of the ideal combination of hyperparameters for both objectives. Within the algorithm, we use a fuzzy clustering model for the feature imputation and several ML algorithms for
 classification. Preliminary results show optimisation of both fitness functions, with reliable generalisation during cross-validation.
Colors Preferences In Tanzanian Culture
Creators: name: Semwaiko, Godfrey
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2023
Subjects: Visual cultures

description: To uncover the topic of color and its application in Tanzanian culture and trends, this paper describes the history and current information about color applications among Tanzanians and ethnic groups belonging to the geographical regions in the country. Humans use color for many different reasons, both practical and aesthetic. Through a fusion of different cultural trends and movements in ethnic groups, color applications in Tanzania have emerged through ritual aesthetics and contain the power of human nature. In a practical sense, color is mainly used as a representation of the black African struggle for liberation, ritual practices, and cultural ceremonies. The political influences, art, and fashion have portrayed colors in a loud context, as it is so easy to identify Tanzanian people, especially women anywhere in the world for their use of bright color patterned Kanga and Kitenge fabrics. Tingatinga art with its unique warm color stories and black ebony wood sculptures has placed Tanzania in an international art scene for decades. Warm colors are favored in Tanzania as in any other tropical country, which concludes the region theory factor that because the intensity of sunlight in the equatorial region increases the human red vision (Red Sightedness), so the warm color system is particularly preferred.
