description: Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are a fundamental and evolving part of the cell surface and within the extracellular matrix (ECM). Turnover of HSPGs is aided by sulfatases, a family of enzymes which catalyzes cleavage of sulfate esters and plays an important role in step-wise degradation and lysosomal turnover of HSPGs. Deficiency of glycosaminoglycan (GAG) degradation due to autosomal recessive gene mutations causes a subclass of lysosomal storage disorders called mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs), where there is accumulation of incomplete degradation products in the lysosome. Many of MPS type disorders are paired with severe neurocognitive deficiencies, hence, the difficulty in treatment. Out of eight human heparan sulfate degrading lysosomal sulfatases, three are described here: N-acetylglucosamine-6-sulfatase (GNS), arylsulfatase K and arylsulfatase G. Overall, this work explores various approaches to drug discovery through small fragment screening and computational-based protein engineering. The resulting fragment based screening performed on GNS identified an allosteric binding site, which can be used for the rational design of molecular chaperones that function to stabilise misfolded GNS in MPS IIID patients. The approach to engineer the pH optimum of GNS activity could serve as a way to treat an ultra-low molecular weight heparin (ULMWH) overdose.

description: We present an exact pseudofermion action for hybrid Monte Carlo simulation (HMC) of one-flavor domain-wall fermion (DWF), with the effective 4-dimensional Dirac operator equal to the optimal rational approximation of the overlap-Dirac operator with kernel $ H = c H_w (1 + d γ_5 H_w)^{-1} $, where $ c $ and $ d $ are constants. Using this exact pseudofermion action, we perform HMC of one-flavor QCD, and compare its characteristics with the widely used rational hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm (RHMC). Moreover, to demonstrate the practicality of the exact one-flavor algorithm (EOFA), we perform the first dynamical simulation of the (1+1)-flavors QCD with DWF.

Coordination Control of Free-Flyer Manipulators

Year: 2023

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This paper presents a method for guiding a robot manipulator to capture and bring a tumbling satellite to a state of rest. The proposed approach includes developing a coordination control for the combined system of the space robot and the target satellite, where the satellite acts as the manipulator payload. This control ensures that the robot tracks the optimal path while regulating the attitude of the chase vehicle to a desired value. Two optimal trajectories are then designed for the pre- and post-capture phases. In the pre-capturing phase, the manipulator manoeuvres are optimized by minimizing a cost function that includes the time of travel and the weighted norms of the end-effector velocity and acceleration, subject to the constraint that the robot end-effector and a grapple fixture on the satellite arrive at the rendezvous point with the same velocity. In the post-grasping phase, the manipulator dumps the initial velocity of the tumbling satellite in minimum time while ensuring that the magnitude of the torque applied to the satellite remains below a safe value. Overall, this method offers a promising solution for effectively capturing and bringing tumbling satellites to a state of rest.

description: The consumer banking industry is notoriously hard to enter. Customers rarely switch banks (switching costs are high) and there are considerable barriers to entry to new players. Traditionally, banking products can be complex, often accompanied by non-transparent cross-selling practices and hidden fees and commissions that seem designed to extract as much money as possible from customers, rather than serving them in a customer-centric way. The case is set in South Africa, where around the turn of the millennium the banking sector was dominated by four major players who collectively had a market share in excess of 80%. The established players differentiated customers according to income bracket, rather than the value of the service being provided, and tended to overlook those on lower incomes. There was a large 'unbanked' or underserved demographic who lacked almost all access to financial services. The case details how Capitec entered and disrupted the industry by targeting the mass market, including the hitherto unbanked, and by becoming a bank that was open to customers from all income groups and which treated all customers alike. By focusing on three key principles 'affordability, accessibility and simplicity' and with a clear customer focus, Capitec was able to stimulate much broader financial inclusion and capitalise on it accordingly, establishing a position in the top four banks and enjoying year-on-year growth in terms of new customers and revenue that far outstripped its competitors.

description: Energy consumption is an important issue in continuous wireless telemonitoring of physiological signals. Compressed sensing (CS) is a promising framework to address it, due to its energy-efficient data compression procedure. However, most CS algorithms have difficulty in data recovery due to non-sparsity characteristic of many physiological signals. Block sparse Bayesian learning (BSBL) is an effective approach to recover such signals with satisfactory recovery quality. However, it is time-consuming in recovering multichannel signals, since its computational load almost linearly increases with the number of channels. This work proposes a spatiotemporal sparse Bayesian learning algorithm to recover multichannel signals simultaneously. It not only exploits temporal correlation within each channel signal, but also exploits inter-channel correlation among different channel signals. Furthermore, its computational load is not significantly affected by the number of channels. The proposed algorithm was applied to brain computer interface (BCI) and EEG-based driver's drowsiness estimation. Results showed that the algorithm had both better recovery performance and much higher speed than BSBL. Particularly, the proposed algorithm ensured that the BCI classification and the drowsiness estimation had little degradation even when data were compressed by 80%, making it very suitable for continuous wireless telemonitoring of multichannel signals.

It encountered serious financial problems as a result of the consolidation of two separate hospitals into one new hospital building, coupled with a change in the remuneration system for NHS hospitals. The turnaround took place between April 2005 and May 2007. Pelham Allen was appointed Turnaround Director by the NHS regulator to implement a recovery plan that stabilized the situation and laid the foundations for long-term operational and financial success. This case gives the reader a close-up view of one of the largest, most sensitive and most successful UK public sector turnarounds in recent years, and highlights the similarities with, and differences from, private sector turnarounds. The case also examines the different approaches that turnaround managers can take to embed change when in a position of influence.

description: Background: Despite the psychosocial challenges of living with psoriasismany patients may not be able to access appropriate services to manage these challenges. Mobile health interventions may be helpful as a means to support patients in managing the impact of their condition. Objective: To conduct a preliminary examination of the feasibility and acceptability of a bespoke psoriasis‐specific digital therapeutic solution (hereafter termed Allay), and to provide initial data on psychological changes pre‐post. Methods: Phase one proof of concept pre‐post study. Eligible patients were provided with Allay on their smartphone and assessed at baseline and at 12 weeks on a range of indices of well‐being. Participants xperiences on usability were collected by telephone interview at 4 weeks, 8 and 12 weeks. Results: Out of 66 participants recruited, 59 persisted in using Allay after the familiarisation phase, and 34 participants completed the 12 weeks programme. Participants showed a statistically significant improvement between induction and the end of the 12 weeks programme on Quality of life, Resilience, Perceptions of ‘Overall impact’ of psoriasis, and ‘Emotional impact’. There was a significant change over the course of using Allay for symptoms of depression but not anxiety. While there was an interaction effect of changes in severity of psoriasis symptoms over the course of the study for dermatology‐specific measures, there was no interaction between such changes in psoriasis symptoms and changes in depression, resilience or beliefs in emotional impact. Conclusions: Study results suggest that the use of Allay as an adjunct to medical management of psoriasis may help patients improve resilience, mood, beliefs about their condition and enhance their quality of life. Given that this is a phase one proof of concept study, and our rates of attrition further research is necessary to examine comparative effectiveness and stability of these findings.

description: Phishing emails are a form of cybercrime that has, for the past 20 years, affected thousands of older persons in Australia. Each year approximately 200 million dollars have been scammed from this vulnerable population, and these emails remain a significant concern. Readily available education and information do not appear to have significantly affected older persons recognising one of these emails. Demographic information shows that older persons are more likely to engage with these emails than any other cohort. This study examined an older person's experience with a phishing mail through a single case analysis to better understand how older persons interact with phishing emails. Examination of the email communication between the phisher and the older person and a series of interviews with the older person provided the data to apply the Theory of Deception and Social Judgment Theory to understand better why the older person engaged with the phishing email. The analysis of the email communication and interviews proved the complex nature of why older persons are more susceptible to phishing emails. The theories can contribute to a transtheoretical model or framework to understand the experience of phishing among older adults. This study emphasises that education and information for older persons regarding phishing emails must be person-centred.

Apart from buying two Barcelona apartments that got him started - thanks to his then girlfriend and now wife Lucia's good credit and a couple of hefty mortgages - and apart from maxing out a couple of credit cards in the early days and personally funding small losses in the early years, Erceg had not invested a single euro in an online travel agency business for which he had just been offered 17.3 million euros. The offer from GoTravelNow had come as a complete surprise. EnGrande, as Budgetplacess's corporate entity was called, was growing fast and was highly profitable, and Erceg wasns'st sure what to do. After weeks of negotiations, he had managed to improve the cash portion of the offer to 8.5 million euros. 'A life-changing amount of security for seven years worth of work,' he thought. Should he take the offer that was on the table? It was time to decide.

description: We study the effects of modifications of gravity after Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) which would manifest themselves mainly before recombination. We consider their effects on the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation and on the formation of large scale structure. The models that we introduce here represent all screened modifications of General Relativity (GR) which evade the local tests of gravity such as the violation of the strong equivalence principle as constrained by the Lunar Ranging experiment. We use the tomographic description of modified gravity which defines models with screening mechanisms of the chameleon or Damour-Polyakov types and allows one to relate the temporal evolution of the mass and the coupling to matter of a scalar field to its Lagrangian and also to cosmological perturbations. The models with early modifications of gravity all involve a coupling to matter which is stronger in the past leading to effects on perturbations before recombination while minimising deviations from Lambda-CDM structure formation at late times. We find that a new family of early transition models lead to discrepancies in the CMB spectrum which could reach a few percent and appear as both enhancements and reductions of power for different scales.

The (A) case addresses the questions: (1) given the existing crowded coffee-machine market and Nestle's own position at the top-end of this market (with its Nespresso machine), should the new machine (targeting the mass market) be introduced? and (2) if it is, what should be its positioning to allow it to differentiate itself not only relative to its existing competitors but also relative to two other Nestle brands - Nescafe and Nespresso? Should it be launched under the Nespresso or Nescafe brand name (or neither)? and how could Nestle avoid potential cannibalisation of its Nespresso and / or Nescafe sales?

description: Link prediction aims to identify potential missing triples in knowledge graphs. To get better results, some recent studies have introduced multimodal information to link prediction. However, these methods utilize multimodal information separately and neglect the complicated interaction between different modalities. In this paper, we aim at better modeling the inter-modality information and thus introduce a novel Interactive Multimodal Fusion (IMF) model to integrate knowledge from different modalities. To this end, we propose a two-stage multimodal fusion framework to preserve modality-specific knowledge as well as take advantage of the complementarity between different modalities. Instead of directly projecting different modalities into a unified space, our multimodal fusion module limits the representations of different modalities independent while leverages bilinear pooling for fusion and incorporates contrastive learning as additional constraints. Furthermore, the decision fusion module delivers the learned weighted average over the predictions of all modalities to better incorporate the complementarity of different modalities. Our approach has been demonstrated to be effective through empirical evaluations on several real-world datasets. The implementation code is available online at https://github.com/HestiaSky/IMF-Pytorch.

The first model is the variable modified Chaplygin gas while the second one is the extended Chaplygin gas. Both models are considered in the framework of higher order $f(R)$ modified gravity. We also consider the case of time varying gravitational constant $G$ and $Λ$ for both models. We investigate some cosmological parameters such as the Hubble, the deceleration and the equation of state parameters. Then we showed that the model that we considered, extended Chaplygin gas with time-dependent $G$ and $Λ$, is consistent with the observational data. Finally we conclude with the discussion of cosmological perturbations of our model.

description: Set in 2016, this case describes ING Bank's implementation of a radical new way of working using agile principles. ING's agile way of working has been written up in Harvard Business Review, Sloan Management Review and McKinsey Quarterly. This case provides a detailed account of how the new structure was developed and implemented. The case describes the process of change in ING Bank, from the aftermath of the global financial crisis to 2016. It provides background information on two change initiatives (Tango and Less is More) that simplified and rationalised the bank's activities, then it provides a detailed account of the major transformation that became known as RIO ('Redesign into Omnichannels'). It focuses on the choices made by Bart Schlatmann, COO of the Netherlands business, and his team - to pursue an omnichannel strategy (i.e. where all channels to market are linked together and managed seamlessly) and to build an organisation to support this strategy that drew inspiration from digital companies such as Google, Facebook and Amazon. The subsequent restructuring into 'agile' teams was a groundbreaking move for a company in the rather conservative banking industry. The case provides lots of detail on how this new model works in practice. After 12 months 3,000 staff had embraced the culture of agile methodology. At the end of the case, Schlatmann had to consider two main questions: (1) How to balance the autonomy of tribes with alignment to the company's strategic objective; and (2) How to roll out agile to other parts of the ING.

The series explores the founding of a business as an entrepreneurial venture and then its growth both nationally and internationally and the problems this brings. It touches on managerial issues, external investment and the decision points that founders and management have to make. Case (A) documents the first decade, 1987-1997, from the founding of a single shop in London to slow but steady growth with a handful of shops outside London. Case (B) follows the years 1998-2002 as the business started to struggle with its own successful growth, both nationally and internationally. Case (C) picks up in 2003-2007, with major changes leading to a turnaround of the business. Case (D) takes the story from 2007-2011, post the successful turnaround. The founders decided to sell, but this was the period of the global economic crisis and business was tough, as was selling. Pret A Manger was sold, however, and the rest of the case follows the subsequent story and continued expansion.

description: We show that the antiferromagnetic structure in the quantum spin trimer system ${{\rm Ca_{3}CuNi_2(PO_4)_4}}$ is based on both arms of propagation vector $\vec{k}$ star $\{[{1\over2},{1\over2},0],[-{1\over2},{1\over2},0]\}$ of the paramagnetic space group $C2/c$. The structure is generated by a symmetric direction of the order parameter of two dimensional irreducible representation of $C2/c$ with one active magnetic mode and corresponds to the Shubnikov magnetic space group $C_a2/c$. We reveal the relation between representation analysis in the propagation vector formalism and Shubnikov symmetry. These types of multi-$\vec{k}$ structures are extremely rarely observed experimentally. To further prove the specific magnetic structure we have performed the calculations of the spin expectation values in the isolated Ni$^{2+}$-Cu$^{2+}$-Ni$^{2+}$ trimer with realistic Hamiltonian. The calculated spin values $={0.9}$ and $={0.3}$ are within 10% accuracy in agreement with the experiment, providing strong complimentary argument in favor of multi-arm magnetic structure.

description: Despite today's growing attention to bootstrapping and the use of customer funding in the financing of new ventures, many new ventures, be they a startup or a plan to grow an existing business, will require some initial injection of capital to finance the fixed assets, working capital, and operating expenses needed to pursue the opportunity. Although the entrepreneur will make projections of such costs and of future cash flow and profitability, these forecasts will be uncertain. Any proposed method of financing needs to allow for these uncertainties.

description: This is a two-case series. From a rocky perch above the city of Boulder, Colorado, Jon Thorne gazed across the city and onto the great plains that stretched eastward before him. 'There's nothing like a vigorous mountain bike ride into the hills,' Thorne thought, 'when crucial decisions have to be deliberated.' It was a summer afternoon in 1999, and Thorne had devoted much of the past three years developing and taking to market a surgical instrument that he thought had the potential to significantly improve surgical practice. Though the feedback from surgeons had been excellent, Thorne's company, Silverglide Surgical Technologies, Inc, had little to show for his efforts. The $80,000 in start-up capital that Thorne had raised was nearly gone and his company's sales to date 'rounded to zero,' as a member of his advisory board had remarked at a board meeting earlier that week. Was it time to broaden his company's market focus from plastic surgeons into other surgical specialities? Was it time to abandon the probe and develop a new product line? Or should he abandon his entrepreneurial dream and return to a salaried job in the medical products industry from which he had come?

description: We are interested in almost global existence cases in the general theory for nonlinear wave equations, which are caused by critical exponents of nonlinear terms. Such situations can be found in only three cases in the theory, cubic terms in two space dimensions, quadratic terms in three space dimesions and quadratic terms including a square of unknown functions itself in four space dimensions. Except for the last case, criterions to classify nonlinear terms into the almost global, or global existence case, are well-studied and known to be so-called null condition and non-positive condition. Our motivation of this work is to find such a kind of the criterion in four space dimensions. In our previous paper, an example of the non-single term for the almost global existence case is introduced. In this paper, we show an example of the global existence case. These two examples have nonlinear integral terms which are closely related to derivative loss due to high dimensions. But it may help us to describe the final form of the criterion.

A Quantum Phase Representation of Heisenberg Limits and a Minimally Resourced Quantum Phase Estimator

description: Within the quantum phase representation we derive Heisenberg limits, in closed form, for N00N states and two other classes of states that can perform better in terms of local performance metrics relevant for multiply-peaked distributions. One of these can also enhance the super-resolution factor beyond that of a N00N state of the same power, at the expense of diminished fringe visibility. An accurate phase estimation algorithm, which can be applied to the minimally resourced apparatus of a standard interferometer, is shown to be resilient to the presence of additive white-Gaussian noise (AWGN). In the limit of no AWGN the algorithm achieves over nine digits of accuracy for the case of a four-photon N00N state - orders of magnitude below its Heisenberg limit.
The Woodlawn Organization and the Trauma Center Campaign: The University They Faced and the Terrains They Fought on from an Accumulation Perspective
Creators: name: Wagner, Warren
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2023

description: This thesis interrogates how the shifting roles of the University of Chicago (UChicago) in systems of racial capitalist accumulation shaped the sites of struggle in conflicts with two key neighborhood groups: that of The Woodlawn Organization (TWO) in the 60s and the Trauma Care Coalition (TCC) from 2010-2015. Utilizing Abolitionist University Studies as a theoretical framework, this paper combines existing historical research and archival research to place both campaigns in their historical political-economic context and plot the trajectories of each group’s confrontation with UChicago. In the 1960s, UChicago’s anti-Black urban renewal efforts were closely linked to postwar imperialistic state priorities that demanded more campus capacity. The University then leveraged those state demands to design and pass a federal program empowering it to clear and acquire land, giving TWO opportunities to partially limit displacement through community control of neighborhood development by positioning themselves as a democratically representative ‘spokesman’ group. However, by the 2010s, as state influence on University priorities ebbed and real estate capital rose to power in Chicago, UChicago’s anti-Black displacement and accumulation projects took place through more diffuse collaborations with various private sector actors. This enabled the TCC to exert pressure by directly disrupting a wide range of different UChicago-linked private projects until they won a Level 1 Adult Trauma Center. The specific modes of accumulation that the University was implicated in each historical period played a major role in the tactics, targets, and demands of each campaign.

description: It is commonly said that the valuation of companies is more of an art than a science. The essence of this statement is that arriving at a valuation is a matter of judgment, balancing the consideration of various factors, rather than the mechanical application of a mathematical formula. This is especially true when trying to value an unquoted (privately-owned) company. However, this does not mean that valuation is a purely subjective exercise, where different figures arrived at by different routes may be regarded as equally valid.  From the valuer's perspective, some approaches may clearly be a better guide to value than others in specific situations. The skill of valuation lies in assessing the relative appropriateness of differing valuation benchmarks to a particular situation.

description: This is part of a case series. The case describes the turnaround of the Belgian bank KBC under the leadership of Johan Thijs in the period 2009-2016. The case is made up of three parts - A, B and C. KBC (A) describes the situation in July 2009 when Johan This was promoted to Managing Director (MD) of the Belgian subsidiary, by far the biggest and most important unit within KBC Group. The timing is a bad one for the bank - it had just been rescued through a multibillion euro bailout by the Belgian government and the bank is on the verge of bankruptcy. Morale is at an all-time low, employees feel betrayed and are demotivated and the euro crisis is about to hit the European banking sector just when banks throughout Europe are trying to respond to the financial crisis of 2008. Johan Thijs inherits a total mess in Belgium and the case describes the facts he faces and asks the question: 'What should he do in the Belgian Unit?' At the same time to becoming MD of Belgium, he becomes member of the Group's Executive Committee (ExCo) and the case also raises the question: 'What can Thijs do as a member of the ExCo to prevent the bankruptcy of KBC Group?'

Creation of Dirac neutrinos in a dense medium with time-dependent effective potential

description: We consider Dirac neutrinos interacting with background fermions in the frame of the standard model. We demonstrate that a time-dependent effective potential is quite possible in a protoneutron star (PNS) at certain stages of its evolution. For the first time, we formulate a nonperturbative treatment of neutrino processes in a matter with arbitrary time-dependent effective potential. Using linearly growing effective potential, we study the typical case of a slowly varying matter interaction potential. We calculate differential mean numbers of $ν\barν$ pairs created from the vacuum by this potential and find that they crucially depend on the magnitude of masses of the lightest neutrino eigenstate. These distributions uniformly span up to $\sim 10$ eV energies for muon and tau neutrinos created in PNS core due to the compression just before the hydrodynamic bounce and up to $\sim 0.1$ eV energies for all three active neutrino flavors created in the neutronization. Considering different stages of the PNS evolution, we derive constraints on neutrino masses, $m_ν\lesssim (10^{-8}-10^{-7})$ eV corresponding to the nonvanishing $ν\barν$ pairs flux produced by this mechanism. We show that one can distinguish such coherent flux from chaotic fluxes of any other origin. Part of these neutrinos, depending on the flavor and helicity, are bounded in the PNS, while antineutrinos of any flavor escape the PNS. If the created pairs are $ν_{e}\barν_{e}$, then a part of the corresponding neutrinos also escape the PNS. The detection of $ν$ and $\barν$ with such low energies is beyond current experimental techniques.

Three essays on data-driven problems
Creators: name: Zhang, He
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2018

description: This dissertation comprises three essays on data-driven problems. The ﬁrst essay addresses the dynamic, evolving academic social network through co-authorship. A descriptive analysis of the research publications appearing in Management Science (MS) and Operations Research (OR) from 1995 to 2014 is visualized to throw light on the basic collaboration patterns. The second part of the analysis examines the similarities and diﬀerences between MS and OR. The social network characteristics are studied and a clique analysis by size, structure, density, and diversity is performed to understand the factors that drive productivity. Finally, new metrics are introduced to assess thejournals on their openness to new authors, and on the inﬂuence of the status of the editorial board on the chance of publishing a submitted article. The second essay focuses on healthcare analytics. It provides a general macro-level review of the healthcare industry. First, the essay includes an analysis of population health (inpatients) in the New York State, disease mapping associated with the gender, age, and race, and the trend over time is also studied. Second, the relationships are explored between hospital charges or costs and service quality ratings, and between hospital charges or costs andlocal demographics indicators. Third, hospital proﬁtability and drivers for the proﬁts are investigated. Finally, an optimization model is built to determine the locations and services provided for hospital network expansion. The model is based on the parameters estimated on the New York State inpatient data. The third essay examines the Chinese housing bubble, or, more speciﬁcally, on the relationships among housing prices, macroeconomic policies, and physical properties. The aim is to determine the validity, if any, of the many popular conjectures circulated in the media. Based on real-time tradingdata of the second-hand housing market in Beijing and macro-economic indicators, a valuation model is developed to establish the housing market trend in China in order to help investors in choosing the appropriate investment strategy, and the policy makers in regulating the market.
