description: Several superconducting transition temperatures in the range of 30-40 K were reported in the recently discovered intercalated FeSe sytem (A1-xFe2-ySe2, A = K, Rb, Cs, Tl). Although the superconducting phases were not yet conclusively decided, more than one magnetic phase with particular orders of iron vacancy and/or potassium vacancy were identified, and some were argued to be the parent phase. Here we show the discovery of the presence and ordering of iron vacancy in nonintercalated FeSe (PbO-type tetragonal β-Fe1-xSe). Three types of iron-vacancy order were found through analytical electron microscopy, and one was identified to be nonsuperconducting and magnetic at low temperature. This discovery suggests that the rich-phases found in A1-xFe2-ySe2 are not exclusive in Fe-Se related superconductors. In addition, the magnetic β-Fe1-xSe phases with particular iron-vacancy orders are more likely to be the parent phase of FeSe superconducting system, instead of the previously assigned β-Fe1+δTe.

Privacy preserving machine learning

Year: 2022

A wide range of application sectors is progressively using machine learning (ML). A successful ML model often requires a huge amount of training data and powerful computational resources. Due to thepotential risks of highly sensitive information being leaked, the need for and use of such enormous volumes of data raise serious privacy concerns. In addition, the changing regulatory environments that increasingly restrict access to and use of privacy-sensitive data present significant obstacles to fully utilizing the power of ML for data-driven applications. There are several techniques for achieving privacy in ML. Homomorphic Encryption (HE) is a public key cryptographic scheme. HE can perform inference on encrypted data, so the model owner never sees the client’s private data and, therefore, cannot leak it. HE is computationally expensive and restricted to certain kinds of calculations. Federated Learning (FL) is a collaborative machine learning method with decentralized data and multiple client devices. During the FL process, each client trains a model on their data set and then sends a model to the server, where a model is aggregated to one global model and then again distributed over clients. Split Learning (SL) is a distributed and private deep learning technique that is used to train neural networks over multiple data sources while mitigating the need to share raw labeled data. This research will provide insight into the trade-off between performance and security for HE, SL, and FL among various ML and DL algorithms.
title: Polymer microspheres: synthesis, characterisation and post-functionalisation by olefin metathesis

description: Porous polymer particles are used in an extraordinarily wide range of advanced and everyday applications, from combinatorial chemistry, solid-phase organic synthesis and polymer-supported reagents, to environmental analyses and the purification of drinking water. The installation and exploitation of functional chemical handles on the particles is often a prerequisite for their successful exploitation, irrespective of the application and the porous nature of the particles. New methodology for the chemical modification of macroreticular polymers is the primary focus of the work presented in this thesis. Porous polymer microspheres decorated with a diverse range of functional groups were synthesised by the post-polymerisation chemical modification of beaded polymers via olefin cross metathesis. The polymer microspheres were prepared by the precipitation polymerisation of divinylbenzene in porogenic (pore-forming) solvents; the olefin cross-metathesis (CM) functionalisation reactions exploited the pendent (polymer-bound) vinyl groups that were not consumed by polymerisation. Olefin CM reactions involving the pendent vinyl groups were performed in dichloromethane using second-generation Grubbs catalyst (Grubbs II), and a wide range of coupling partners used. The results obtained indicate that high quality, porous polymer microspheres synthesised by precipitation polymerisation in near-θ solvents can be functionalised by olefin CM under very mild conditions to install a diverse range of chemical functionalities into a common polydivinylbenzene precursor. Gel-type polymer microspheres were prepared by the precipitation copolymerisation reaction of divinylbenzene and allyl methacrylate in neat acetonitrile. The unreacted pendent vinyl groups that were not consumed by polymerisation were subjected to internal and external olefin metathesis-based hypercrosslinking reactions. Internal hypercrosslinking was carried out by using ring-closing metathesis (RCM) reactions in toluene using Grubbs II catalyst. Under these conditions, hypercrosslinked (HXL) polymers with specific surface areas around 500 m2g-1 were synthesised. External hypercrosslinking was attempted by using CM/RCM in the presence of a multivinyl coupling partner in toluene using second-generation Hoveyda-Grubbs catalyst. The results obtained indicate that no HXL polymers were obtained. However, during the development of this methodology, a new type of polymerisation was discovered with tetraallylorthosilicate as monomer.

description: Though Lyman alpha emission (Lya) is one of the most used tracers of massive star formation at high redshift, a correct understanding of radiation transfer effects by neutral gas is required to properly quantify the star formation rate along the history of the Universe. We are embarked in a program to study the properties of the Lya emission (spectral profile, spatial distribution, relation to Balmer lines intensity,...) in several local starburst galaxies. We present here the results obtained for IRAS 08339+6517. Using evolutionary population synthesis models, we have characterized the properties of the starburst (UV continuum, Halpha, total infrared and X-ray emissions, etc.), which transformed 1.4e+8 Mo of gas into stars around 5-6 Myr ago. In addition to the central compact emission blob, we have identified a diffuse Lya emission component smoothly distributed over the whole central area of IRAS 08339+6517. This diffuse emission is spatially decoupled from the UV continuum, the Halpha emission or the Halpha/Hbeta ratio. Both locally and globally, the Lya/Halpha ratio is lower than the Case B predictions, even after reddening correction, with an overall Lya escape fraction of only 4%. We conclude that in IRAS 08339+6517 the resonant scattering of Lya photons by an outflowing shell of neutral gas causes their highly-efficient destruction by dust, which explains the low Lya escape fraction measured. These results stress again the importance of a proper correction of scattering and transfer effects when using Lya to derive the star formation rate in high-redshift galaxies.

description: The SHELS (Smithsonian Hectospec Lensing Survey) is a complete redshift survey covering two well-separated fields (F1 and F2) of the Deep Lens Survey to a limiting R = 20.6. Here we describe the redshift survey of the F2 field (R.A.$_{2000}$ = 09$^h$19$^m$32.4$^s$ and Decl.$_{2000}$ = +30$^{\circ}$00$^{\prime}$00$^{\prime\prime}$). The survey includes 16,294 new redshifts measured with the Hectospec on the MMT. The resulting survey of the 4 deg$^2$ F2 field is 95\% complete to R = 20.6, currently the densest survey to this magnitude limit. The median survey redshift is $ z = 0.3$; the survey provides a view of structure in the range 0.1 $ \lesssim z \lesssim 0.6$. A movie displays the large-scale structure in the survey region. We provide a redshift, spectral index D$_n$4000, and stellar mass for each galaxy in the survey. We also provide a metallicity for each galaxy in the range 0.2 $< z <0. 38$. To demonstrate potential applications of the survey, we examine the behavior of the index D$_n$4000 as a function of galaxy luminosity, stellar mass, and redshift. The known evolutionary and stellar mass dependent properties of the galaxy population are cleanly evident in the data. We also show that the mass-metallicity relation previously determined from these data is robust to the analysis approach.

We examine how mathematical principles based on natural growth can be applied in architectural design in order to create a dynamic, rather than static, structure. The dynamic process of a cell and its growth provides the basic structure. We exemplify the impact of the new forms on the new society that already began.

description: Structural changes in Polish agriculture are necessary. First of all, the scale is expected to increase and, hence, input efficiency. The aim of the research is to determine whether the concentration of resources and production in Polish agriculture is taking place and what is the direction. Data from two general agricultural censuses conducted by the Central Statistical Office in 2010 and 2020 were used. It was determined what main directions of changes were observed in Polish agriculture, as well as whether there is γ-convergence in terms of land resources and the production volume in area groups of farms. For each of the analyzed variables, the importance of farms with an area of more than 20 ha increased. In 2020, they accounted for 11% of the total number of farms. They owned 56% of land and were responsible for 60% of plant production and 70% of livestock production. The share of this group increased by 7 p.p. in land use, but in the sown area (except for cereals), it was an increase of 15 p.p., and in livestock production even up to 20 p.p. For the area groups of farms, a significant γ-type divergence in the use of agricultural land and in the production of cereals, potatoes and field vegetables was confirmed. In animal production, the γ-divergence was only observed in the production of sows and poultry. For other species, there has been a concentration of production, but the ranking of farm groups has not changed. In Poland, in the decade between the agricultural censuses (2010-2020), there was a significant, favorable concentration of agricultural production on farms with a larger area. These changes, however, may be too slow for a significant transformation of Polish agriculture and an increase in its competitiveness in the EU in upcoming decades. The strong fragmentation and low economic strength of farms are still the main limitations.

description: It is known that the asymptotic invariant manifolds around an unstable periodic orbit in conservative systems can be represented by convergent series (Cherry 1926, Moser 1956, 1958, Giorgilli 2001). The unstable and stable manifolds intersect at an infinity of homoclinic points, generating a complicated homoclinic tangle. In the case of simple mappings it was found (Da Silva Ritter et al. 1987) that the domain of convergence of the formal series extends to infinity along the invariant manifolds. This allows in practice to study the homoclinic tangle using only series. However in the case of Hamiltonian systems, or mappings with a finite analyticity domain,the convergence of the series along the asymptotic manifolds is also finite. Here, we provide numerical indications that the convergence does not reach any homoclinic points. We discuss in detail the convergence problem in various cases and we find the degree of approximation of the analytical invariant manifolds to the real (numerical) manifolds as i) the order of truncation of the series increases, and ii) we use higher numerical precision in computing the coefficients of the series. Then we introduce a new method of series composition, by using action-angle variables, that allows the calculation of the asymptotic manifolds up to an a arbitrarily large extent. This is the first case of an analytic development that allows the computation of the invariant manifolds and their intersections in a Hamiltonian system for an extent long enough to allow the study of homoclinic chaos by analytical means.

description: Farmers' total expenditures on pesticides in 1971 exceeded $1 billion, nearly 80 percent more than in 1966. Based on a 1972 survey of 8,600 U.S. farmers (Alaska excluded), crop protection required $943 million in pesticides, 86 percent higher than in 1966. By type of pesticide, herbicides made up 62 percent of total crop pesticide costs; insecticides, almost 26 percent; fungicides, over 6 percent; and other types, 6 percent. Costs for pesticides used on livestock and their surroundings reached over $44 million, close to a 50-percent rise over 1966 costs. Pesticide expenses for other farm uses amounted to $15 million.

description: Robots operating in domestic environments generally need to interact with articulated objects, such as doors, cabinets, dishwashers or fridges. In this work, we present a novel, probabilistic framework for modeling articulated objects as kinematic graphs. Vertices in this graph correspond to object parts, while edges between them model their kinematic relationship. In particular, we present a set of parametric and non-parametric edge models and how they can robustly be estimated from noisy pose observations. We furthermore describe how to estimate the kinematic structure and how to use the learned kinematic models for pose prediction and for robotic manipulation tasks. We finally present how the learned models can be generalized to new and previously unseen objects. In various experiments using real robots with different camera systems as well as in simulation, we show that our approach is valid, accurate and efficient. Further, we demonstrate that our approach has a broad set of applications, in particular for the emerging fields of mobile manipulation and service robotics.

description: We show that rapidly-spinning black holes can display turbulent gravitational behavior which is mediated by a new type of parametric instability. This instability transfers energy from higher temporal and azimuthal spatial frequencies to lower frequencies--- a phenomenon reminiscent of the inverse energy cascade displayed by 2+1-dimensional turbulent fluids. Our finding reveals a path towards gravitational turbulence for perturbations of rapidly-spinning black holes, and provides the first evidence for gravitational turbulence in an asymptotically flat spacetime. Interestingly, this finding predicts observable gravitational wave signatures from such phenomena in black hole binaries with high spins and gives a gravitational description of turbulence relevant to the fluid-gravity duality.

description: Historically, matrix projection models (MPMs) have been employed to study population dynamics with regard to size, age or structure. To work with continuous traits, in the past decade, integral projection models (IPMs) have been proposed. Following the path for MPMs, currently, IPMs are handled first with a fitting stage, then with a projection stage. Model fitting has, so far, been done only with individual-level transition data. These data are used in the fitting stage to estimate the demographic functions (survival, growth, fecundity) that comprise the kernel of the IPM specification. The estimated kernel is then iterated from an initial trait distribution to obtain what is interpreted as steady state population behavior. Such projection results in inference that does not align with observed temporal distributions. This might be expected; a model for population level projection should be fitted with population level transitions.

description: This report examines factors related to differences in the percentages of county population participating in the Food Stamp Program among U.S. counties in May 1970. Factors associated with higher food stamp participation rates were higher unemployment and welfare program participation rates, greater proportion of households with low Income, a higher percentage of population 17 years or younger, and longer participation of the county in the Food Stamp Program. Factors associated with lower food stamp participation rates included greater labor force participation and a higher percentage of population 65 and older. The presence of a direct food distribution program prior to the county’s participation in the Food Stamp Program had little discernible effect. Despite higher participation rates in counties with higher percentages of minorities and the more rural of the nonmetropolltan counties, when other factors affecting participation rates are held constant--mainly percentage in poverty--the analysis suggests that participation in these counties was not as high as in counties with smaller percentages of minorities or in more urban counties.

description: This work proposes an extension of the 1-D Hilbert Huang transform for the analysis of images. The proposed method consists in (i) adaptively decomposing an image into oscillating parts called intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) using a mode decomposition procedure, and (ii) providing a local spectral analysis of the obtained IMFs in order to get the local amplitudes, frequencies, and orientations. For the decomposition step, we propose two robust 2-D mode decompositions based on non-smooth convex optimization: a "Genuine 2-D" approach, that constrains the local extrema of the IMFs, and a "Pseudo 2-D" approach, which constrains separately the extrema of lines, columns, and diagonals. The spectral analysis step is based on Prony annihilation property that is applied on small square patches of the IMFs. The resulting 2-D Prony-Huang transform is validated on simulated and real data.

description: Escape rate in the low-to-intermediate damping connecting the low damping with the intermediate damping is established for the power-law distribution on the basis of flux over population theory. We extend the escape rate in the low damping to the low-to-intermediate damping, and get an expression for the power-law distribution. Then we apply the escape rate for the power-law distribution to the experimental study of the excited-state isomerization, and show a good agreement with the experimental value. The extra current and the improvement of the absorbing boundary condition are discussed.

description: В современных условиях, важно установить факторы, влияющие на интенсификацию развития телят, так как известно, что при одинаковом уровне кормления зачастую животные развиваются неравномерно. Одним из основных факторов, определяющих продуктивные качества животного, а также показателем роста и развития организма является живая масса молодняка. При направленном выращивании молодняка большое значение приобретает изучение особенностей формирования животного и влияющих на него факторов.

description: Background Communicating a diagnosis is highly important, yet complex, especially in the context of cancer and mental disorders. The aim was to explore the communication style of an oncologist vs. psychotherapist in an online study. Methods Patients (N = 136: 65 cancer, 71 depression) were randomly assigned to watch a standardized video vignette with one of two communication styles (empathic vs. unempathic). Outcome measures of affectivity, information recall, communication skills, empathy and trust were applied. Results Regardless of diagnosis, empathic communication was associated with the perception of a significantly more empathic (p < 0.001, η2partial = 0.08) and trustworthy practitioner (p = 0.014, η2partial = 0.04) with better communication skills (p = 0.013, η2partial = 0.05). Cancer patients reported a larger decrease in positive affect (p < 0.001, η2partial = 0.15) and a larger increase in negative affect (p < 0.001, η2partial = 0.14) from pre- to post-video than depressive patients. Highly relevant information was recalled better in both groups (p < 0.001, d = 0.61–1.06). Conclusions The results highlight the importance of empathy while communicating both a diagnosis of cancer and a mental disorder. Further research should focus on the communication of a mental disorder in association with cancer.

description: We study the magnetospheric structure and the ionospheric Joule Heating of planets orbiting M-dwarf stars in the habitable zone using a set of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) models. The stellar wind solution is used to drive a model for the planetary magnetosphere, which is coupled with a model for the planetary ionosphere. Our simulations reveal that the space environment around close-in habitable planets is extreme, and the stellar wind plasma conditions change from sub- to super-Alfvenic along the planetary orbit. As a result, the magnetospheric structure changes dramatically with a bow shock forming in the super-Alfvenic sectors, while no bow shock forms in the sub-Alfvenic sectors. The planets reside most of the time in the sub-Alfvenic sectors with poor atmospheric protection. A significant amount of Joule Heating is provided at the top of the atmosphere as a result of the planetary interaction with the stellar wind. For the steady-state solution, the heating is about 0.1-3\% of the total incoming stellar irradiation, and it is enhanced by 50\% for the time-dependent case. The significant Joule Heating obtained here should be considered in models for the atmospheres of habitable planets in terms of the thickness of the atmosphere, the top-side temperature and density, the boundary conditions for the atmospheric pressure, and particle radiation and transport.

Sustainable conversion of biomass wastes via hydrothermal processes: fundamentals and technology
Creators: name: Ischia, Giulia

description: In a worldwide context where the community has to make giant leaps forward to contain the catastrophic consequences of climate change, we need to face the discordant ?How do we power our economies?? with green and circular solutions instead of hiding behind the hypocrisy of fossil fuels. Biomass, renewable, abundant, and cheap, can trigger a shift towards a zero-carbon emission economy, in which it substitutes fossil fuels for the production of energy and materials. Among the strategies to valorize biomass, hydrothermal processes are green pathways for producing biofuels and bio-based materials. However, research has yet to fill several gaps to make these processes ready for industrial scaling and spreading. Therefore, along with this Ph.D. thesis, we provide new insights into hydrothermal processes, touching several scientific areas: from in-depth research around the thermochemical fundamentals to the engineering of new sustainable and biorefinery concepts. Through fundamental research, we try to answer ?What?s happening during hydrothermal processes?? facing the enormous complexity of the process by investigating chemical pathways, kinetics, and thermodynamics. Facing sustainability, we explored the coupling of hydrothermal conversion with concentrated solar energy to develop a zero-energy process and the integration of hydrothermal carbonization with subsequent treatments to valorize by-products.
Physical constraints determine the logic of bacterial promoter architectures

description: Site-specific transcription factors (TFs) bind to their target sites on the DNA, where they regulate the rate at which genes are transcribed. Bacterial TFs undergo facilitated diffusion (a combination of 3D diffusion around and 1D random walk on the DNA) when searching for their target sites. Using computer simulations of this search process, we show that the organisation of the binding sites, in conjunction with TF copy number and binding site affinity, plays an important role in determining not only the steady state of promoter occupancy, but also the order at which TFs bind. These effects can be captured by facilitated diffusion-based models, but not by standard thermodynamics. We show that the spacing of binding sites encodes complex logic, which can be derived from combinations of three basic building blocks: switches, barriers and clusters, whose response alone and in higher orders of organisation we characterise in detail. Effective promoter organizations are commonly found in the E. coli genome and are highly conserved between strains. This will allow studies of gene regulation at a previously unprecedented level of detail, where our framework can create testable hypothesis of promoter logic.

Human fall detection using multimodal datasets
Creators: Pacheco Jiminez, Ana Janet
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

Falling events are the leading cause of fatal and non-fatal injuries among elderly, and without timely medical care people unable to recover by themselves, it may mean suffering from serious consequences. Designing reliable fall detection systems may help reduce the time for a person to receive an opportune medical care. Falls are events which might be described using multiple sensors, this is because the problem itself involves many features, such as the sudden change in human’s body position which can be sensed by tracking acceleration changes in the three orthogonal directions, or while monitoring activities of daily living of elderly people. This project is aimed to compare the performance of a fall detection system based on a multimodal dataset using common deep learning algorithms, such as Convolutional Neural Networks and Multi-Layer models and feeding them with image data only (RGB and Depth Data), versus when adding signal data from an accelerometer sensor.

description: A survey of landowners in Rappahannock County, Va., provided information on ownership, land use, and owners' opinions concerning public services and future outlook for the county. More than half the landowners have their legal residence outside the county, but residents own over half of the land. Nonresidents are more likely to hold land for recreation or resale than local residents. Forty-three percent of the owners are in professional, technical, or managerial occupations; only 5 percent class themselves as farmers. Agricultural activity is declining, and sales of land in small parcels can lead to the disappearance of agriculture. Nonresidents expressed more interest than residents in retaining the rural atmosphere of the county, but they were less critical and less informed about public services than residents were. Many residents and nonresidents seem unaware of existing State and county land use controls. Public policy can play a role in land use, but final decisions are made by landowners. An improved land information system could help both community leaders and landowners in planning future development of the county so that the attractive aspects are preserved.
Consent modeling and verification: privacy regulations compliance from business goals to business processes
Creators: name: Robol, Marco
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Trento
Year: 2020

description: Privacy regulations impose on companies limitations about the collection, use, and disclosure of user data. One of the actions most companies undertake for this, consists in modifying their systems with processes for consent acquisition and management. Unfortunately, where systems are large and with many dependencies, they often also have little documentation, and knowledge on the system is distributed among different domain experts. These circumstances make the re-engineering of systems a tedious and complex, if not impossible, activity. This PhD Thesis proposes a model-based method with a top-down approach, for modeling consent requirements and analyzing compliance with regulations, by refinement of models from organizational structure down to business processes. The method is provided with guidelines in the form of a process and includes modeling languages and reasoning frameworks for the analysis of requirements with respect to a preset of privacy principles on consent. The Thesis includes validations with realistic scenarios and with domain practitioners from the healthcare domain.
