Graph skeletonization of high-dimensional point cloud data via topological method
Creators: name: Magee, Lucas
name: Wang, Yusu
Publisher: name: Journal of Computational Geometry
Year: 2022

description: Geometric graphs form an important family of hidden structures behind data. In this paper, we develop an efficient and robust algorithm to infer a graph skeleton of a high-dimensional point cloud dataset (PCD). Previously, there has been much work to recover a hidden graph from a low-dimensional density field, or from a relatively clean high-dimensional PCD. Our proposed approach builds upon the recent line of work on using a persistence-guided discrete Morse (DM) theory based approach to reconstruct a geometric graph from a density field defined over a low-dimensional triangulation. In particular, we first give a very simple generalization of this DM-based algorithm from a density-function perspective to a general filtration perspective. On the theoretical front, we show that the output of the generalized algorithm contains a so-called lexicographic-optimal persistent cycle basis w.r.t the input filtration, justifying that the output is indeed meaningful. On the algorithmic front, the generalization allows us to combine sparsified weighted Rips filtration to develop a new graph reconstruction algorithm for noisy point cloud data. The new algorithm is robust to background noise and non-uniform distribution of input points, and we provide various experimental results to show its effectiveness.

description: We study the effect of a non-vanishing chemical potential on the thermalization time of a strongly coupled large $N_c$ gauge theory in $(2+1)$-dimensions, using a specific bottom-up gravity model in asymptotically AdS space. We first construct a perturbative solution to the gravity-equations, which dynamically interpolates between two AdS black hole backgrounds with different temperatures and chemical potentials, in a perturbative expansion of a bulk neutral scalar field. In the dual field theory, this corresponds to a quench dynamics by a marginal operator, where the corresponding coupling serves as the small parameter in which the perturbation is carried out. The evolution of non-local observables, such as the entanglement entropy, suggests that thermalization time decreases with increasing chemical potential. We also comment on the validity of our perturbative analysis.

Investigations included a review of the existing site records and visual inspection. The records search indicated four sites are located within one mile of the project area but none were impacted by the undertaking. Visual inspection showed that the entire project area has been subjected to heavy, disturbance in the past, mainly from the use of the area during the Camp Forrest era. No archaeological sites were recorded as a result of this investigation and the area is recommended cleared from a cultural resources perspective.
Desiccation shrinkage process in clayey soils experimental analysis from digital image correlation
Creators: name: Zhengtian, YANG
Publisher: name: Academic Journal of Civil Engineering
Year: 2024

description: During the drying process, an initially saturated clay deforms mainly due to the loss of water. It causes clay shrinkage that represents one of the fundamental reasons of cracking by desiccation. It is of great interest to understand the desiccation process in such complex soils. The main point is that many properties of the material, such as water content distribution, displacement, strain and stress fields. The proposed method of analysis allows to understand more deeply the process of drying in clays including shrinkage, crack initiation and finally, crack network development. This research allows to go further in investigating the drying phenomenon in remolded and initially saturated kaolinitic clay.

description: Using the time-dependent density matrix renormalization group method and exact diagonalization, we study the non-equilibrium dynamics of the one-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard model following a quantum quench or a ramp of the onsite interaction strength. For quenches from the non-interacting to the attractive regime, we investigate the dynamical emergence of Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) correlations, which at finite spin polarizations are the dominant two-body correlations in the ground state, and their signatures in the pair quasi-momentum distribution function. We observe that the post-quench double occupancy exhibits a maximum as the interaction strength becomes of the order of the bandwidth. Finally, we study quenches and ramps from attractive to repulsive interactions, which imprint FFLO correlations onto repulsively bound pairs. We show that a quite short ramp time is sufficient to wipe out the characteristic FFLO features in the post-quench pair momentum distribution functions.

description: 2015 is the centennial of Einstein General Relativity. On this occasion, we examine the General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (GRQC) field of research by analysing 38291 papers uploaded on the electronic archives arXiv.org from 2000 to 2012. We establish a map of the countries contributing to GRQC in 2012. We determine the main journals publishing GRQC papers and which countries publish in which journals. We find that more and more papers are written by groups (instead of single) of authors with more and more international collaborations. There are huge differences between countries. Hence Russia is the country where most of papers are written by single authors whereas Canada is one of the countries where the most of papers imply international collaborations. We also study authors mobility, determining how some groups of authors spread worldwide with time in different countries. The largest mobilities are between USA-UK and USA-Germany. Countries attracting the most of GRQC authors are Netherlands and Canada whereas those undergoing a brain drain are Italy and India. There are few mobility between Europe and Asia contrarily to mobility between USA and Asia.

description: The trend towards lightweight design, driven by increasingly stringent emission targets, poses challenges to conventional joining processes due to the different mechanical properties of the joining partners used to manufacture multi-material systems. For this reason, new versatile joining processes are in demand for joining dissimilar materials. In this regard, pin joining with cold extruded pin structures is a relatively new, two-stage joining process for joining materials such as high-strength steel and aluminium as well as steel and fibre-reinforced plastic to multi-material systems, without the need for auxiliary elements. Due to the novelty of the process, there are currently only a few studies on the robustness of this joining process available. Thus, limited statements on the stability of the joining process considering uncertain process conditions, such as varying material properties or friction values, can be provided. Motivated by this, the presented work investigates the influence of different uncertain process parameters on the pin extrusion as well as on the joining process itself, carrying out a systematic robustness analysis. Therefore, the methodical approach covers the complete process chain of pin joining, including the load-bearing capacity of the joint by means of numerical simulation and data-driven methods. Thereby, a deeper understanding of the pin joining process is generated and the versatility of the novel joining process is increased. Additionally, the provision of manufacturing recommendations for the forming of pin joints leads to a significant decrease in the failure probability caused by ploughing or buckling effects.

description: Objective Although older patients represent the most rapidly growing segment of the oncology population, clinical care is guided by very little data on patient-reported outcomes, particularly satisfaction with healthcare. Using a large cancer center registry, we sought to describe factors associated with satisfaction with care for older and younger oncology patients. Methods Data were collected through the University of North Carolina Health Registry Cancer Survivorship Cohort. Satisfaction was measured with the Patient Satisfaction Questionnaire Short Form. Quality of life (QOL) measures included were the Promis Global short form and the Functional Assessment of Cancer Therapy General (FACT-G). Results A total of 2385 patients were included. 460 (20%) were aged 70 and above (older group). Older patients reported significantly higher levels of satisfaction in domains of time spent with doctor (scores 3.84 versus 3.73 p = 0.03) and financial aspects (scores 4.03 versus 3.44 p < 0.001) compared to younger patients. In multivariable analysis, higher QOL scores and higher self-reported ECOG performance status were associated with higher satisfaction scores. African American race was associated with lower satisfaction scores in all age groups. QOL was more closely correlated with satisfaction in older patients compared to younger patients. Conclusions Older patients with cancer report higher levels of satisfaction with care, in part due to lesser financial burden of care. Better QOL is associated with satisfaction with care in older patients. Use of patient-reported outcomes such as patient satisfaction may help improve patient-centered geriatric oncology care.

description: When reading a scholarly article, inline citations help researchers contextualize the current article and discover relevant prior work. However, it can be challenging to prioritize and make sense of the hundreds of citations encountered during literature reviews. This paper introduces CiteSee, a paper reading tool that leverages a user's publishing, reading, and saving activities to provide personalized visual augmentations and context around citations. First, CiteSee connects the current paper to familiar contexts by surfacing known citations a user had cited or opened. Second, CiteSee helps users prioritize their exploration by highlighting relevant but unknown citations based on saving and reading history. We conducted a lab study that suggests CiteSee is significantly more effective for paper discovery than three baselines. A field deployment study shows CiteSee helps participants keep track of their explorations and leads to better situational awareness and increased paper discovery via inline citation when conducting real-world literature reviews.

description: La terre crue est un matériau de construction qui a le potentiel de réduire l’empreinte environnementale des projets de construction. Elle nécessite une moindre consommation d’énergie pour la fabrication et pourra être réutilisable à la fin de son cycle de vie si elle n’est pas stabilisée. La technique des blocs de terre compactée est considérée comme une évolution moderne dans la construction traditionnelle en terre. L’objectif de cette étude est d’analyser l’effet de la masse volumique sur la conductivité thermique et la valeur tampon hygrique des blocs de terre compactée. Dans ce cadre, des échantillons cylindriques de terre compactée et non stabilisée élaborés par le Laboratoire CBTP sont fabriqués à partir de fines issues des carrières à trois masses volumiques cibles comprises entre 1.90 et 2.15 g/cm3. Les mesures de conductivité thermique sont effectuées à l’état sec en utilisant la méthode du fil chaud en régime transitoire. Les résultats expérimentaux montrent une corrélation linéaire entre la conductivité thermique et la masse volumique des blocs de terre compactée avec des valeurs qui varient de 0.8 et 1.1 W/(m.K). La valeur tampon hygrique est mesurée selon le protocole NORDTEST. Les résultats soulignent le potentiel des blocs de terre compactée comme des bons régulateurs d’humidité selon la classification NORDTEST.

description: We study high-energy neutrino and cosmic-ray (CR) emission from the cores of low-luminosity active galactic nuclei (LLAGN). In LLAGN, the thermalization of particles is expected to be incomplete in radiatively inefficient accretion flows (RIAFs), allowing the existence of non-thermal particles. In this work, assuming stochastic particle acceleration due to turbulence in RIAFs, we solve the Fokker-Planck equation and calculate spectra of escaping neutrinos and CRs. The RIAF in LLAGN can emit CR protons with $\gtrsim10$ PeV energies and TeV-PeV neutrinos generated via $pp$ and/or $pγ$ reactions. We find that, if $\sim1$\% of the accretion luminosity is carried away by non-thermal ions, the diffuse neutrino intensity from the cores of LLAGN may be as high as $E_ν^2Φ_ν\sim3\times{10}^{-8} {\rm GeV} {\rm cm}^{-2} {\rm s}^{-1}{\rm sr}^{-1}$, which can be compatible with the observed IceCube data. This result does not contradict either of the diffuse gamma-ray background observed by {\it Fermi} or observed diffuse cosmic-ray flux. Our model suggests that, although very-high-energy gamma rays may not escape, radio-quiet AGN with RIAFs can emit GeV gamma-rays, which could be used for testing the model. We also calculate the neutron luminosity from RIAFs of LLAGN, and discuss a strong constraint on the model of jet mass loading mediated by neutrons from the diffuse neutrino observation.

description: Understanding the temporal characteristics of data from low frequency radio telescopes is of importance in devising suitable calibration strategies. Application of time series analysis techniques to data from radio telescopes can reveal a wealth of information that can aid in calibration. In this paper, we investigate singular spectrum analysis (SSA) as an analysis tool for radio data. We show the intimate connection between SSA and Fourier techniques. We develop the relevant mathematics starting with an idealised periodic dataset and proceeding to include various non-ideal behaviours. We propose a novel technique to obtain long-term gain changes in data, leveraging the periodicity arising from sky drift through the antenna beams. We also simulate several plausible scenarios and apply the techniques to a 30-day time series data collected during June 2021 from SITARA - a short-spacing two element interferometer for global 21-cm detection. Applying the techniques to real data, we find that the first reconstructed component - the trend - has a strong anti-correlation with the local temperature suggesting temperature fluctuations as the most likely origin for the observed variations in the data. We also study the limitations of the calibration in the presence of diurnal gain variations and find that such variations are the likely impediment to calibrating SITARA data with SSA.

description: Night Sky Background (NSB) is a complex phenomenon, consisting of all light detected by Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes (IACTs) not attributable to Cherenkov light emission. Understanding the effect of NSB on cameras for the next-generation Cherenkov Telescope Array (CTA) is important, as it affects the systematic errors on observations, the energy threshold, the thermal control of the cameras and the ability of the telescopes to operate under partial moonlight conditions. This capacity to observe under partial moonlight conditions is crucial for the CTA transient science programme, as it substantially increases the potential observing time. Using tools initially developed for H.E.S.S. (in combination withthe prototype CTA analysis package ctapipe) we will present predictions for the NSB present in images taken by the CTA Small Sized Telescope Camera (SSTCAM), showing that SSTCAM will likely be able to meet the associated CTA requirements. Additionally, we calculate the potential observing time gain by operating under high NSB conditions.

On Attributing Artistic Creativity
Creators: name: Huovinen, Erkki
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2012

description: This article argues that conceptions of artistic creativity and thus the practices of the artworld are centrally regulated by an ideal of an artist who personally undergoes experiences of novelty, originality, uniqueness, or surprise. Such subjective creativity responses arise largely due to the artistic media that invariably defy complete control by the artist – a fact that is not only accepted by many artists themselves but also often regarded by them as highly desirable. Consequently, at the heart of artistic creativity there lies an opposition to a fluent ‘extension of the mind into the medium', unlike in other fields of expertise where mastery is indicated by automatism and increasing transparency of tools. This provides a counterargument to theories that see the criterion of art status in successfully realized artistic intentions. Further, it is argued that the belief in artists’ subjective creativity responses differentiates artistic creativity from creative problem solving in general. This constitutes a sincerity requirement for artistic creativity that also seems highly resistant to challenges by individual artists. The crucial role of artistic media in eliciting artists’ creativity responses, and thus in grounding attributions of artistic creativity, is not duly recognized by theories which see the gist of artistic creativity in conceptual restructuring or innovation.

description: We develop a higher regularity theory for general quasilinear elliptic equations and systems in divergence form with random coefficients. The main result is a large-scale $L^\infty$-type estimate for the gradient of a solution. The estimate is proved with optimal stochastic integrability under a one-parameter family of mixing assumptions, allowing for very weak mixing with non-integrable correlations to very strong mixing (e.g., finite range of dependence). We also prove a quenched $L^2$ estimate for the error in homogenization of Dirichlet problems. The approach is based on subadditive arguments which rely on a variational formulation of general quasilinear divergence-form equations.

The value of Ingenuity
Creators: name: Dowling, Christopher
Publisher: name: Trópos
Year: 2012

description: Ingenious activity has been taken to be valuable because it constitutes a remarkable frugality or economy of means in arriving at creative solutions to given problems. Taking as a starting point for discussion a recent pamphlet, How to be Ingenious, produced by the Royal Society for the Encouragement of Arts, Manufacturers and Commerce (RSA), I engage critically with recent attempts to define ingenuity as asubclass of creativity. By challenging each of three criteria that have been identified as central to its definition I develop an original account of ingenuity and its value. The discussion is divided into three sections. The first briefly outlines the RSA’s approach to and account of ingenuity, suggesting two initial concerns and offering a range of examples to be discussed throughout. Section 2 engages with and develops each of the identified criteria for ingenuity, appealing for clarification to a useful discussion in the philosophy of art. The implications for our understanding of ingenuity, and in particular its value, are set out in section 3, along with an amended definition of this form of creativity.

description: The insulin/insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system and related pathways such as growth hormone, and leptin signaling have a key role in cancer development. It is unclear how germline variation in these pathways affects breast cancer risk. We conducted gene-based analyses of 184 genes in the insulin/IGF, growth hormone, and leptin pathways to identify genetic variation associated with risk of breast cancer overall, and for estrogen receptor (ER) subtypes. Tag single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for each gene were selected and genotyped on a customized Illumina SNP array. Imputation was carried out using 1000 Genomes haplotypes. The analysis included 91,627 SNPs genotyped or imputed in 3,663 breast cancer cases, (1,983 ER-positive and 1,098 ER-negative) and 4,687 controls from the African American Breast Cancer Epidemiology and Risk consortium, a collaborative project of four large studies of breast cancer in African-American women (Carolina Breast Cancer Study, Black Women's Health Study, Women's Circle of Health Study, and Multiethnic Cohort). We used a multi-locus adaptive joint test to determine the association of each gene with overall breast cancer and ER subtypes. The most significant gene associations (P ≤ 0.01) were BAIAP2 and CALM2 for overall breast cancer; BAIAP2 and CSNK2A1 for ER + breast cancer; and BRAF, BAD, and MAPK3 for ER − breast cancer. The association of BAD with ER − breast cancer was explained by a two-SNP risk model; all other associations were best explained by one-SNP risk models. In total, six genes and seven SNPs had suggestive associations with overall breast cancer or ER subtypes in African-American women.

description: AURKA is a putative low-penetrance tumor susceptibility gene due to its prominent role in cell cycle regulation and centrosomal function. Germline variation in AURKA was evaluated for association with breast cancer and intrinsic breast cancer subtypes in the Carolina Breast Cancer Study (CBCS), a population-based case-control study of African Americans (AA) and Caucasians (Cau). Tag and candidate single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on AURKA were genotyped in 1946 cases and 1747 controls. In race-stratified analyses adjusted for age and African ancestry, odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated to evaluate SNP associations with breast cancer. In a race-combined analysis with similar adjustment, these associations were also examined by intrinsic breast cancer subtype. Using dominant models, most AURKA SNPs demonstrated no association with breast cancer in the race-stratified analyses. Among AA, rs6092309 showed an inverse association with breast cancer (OR=0.69, 95% CI=0.53-0.90). In the race-combined analyses, rs6099128 had reduced ORs for luminal A (OR=0.76, 95% CI=0.60-0.95) and basal-like breast cancer (OR=0.54, 95% CI=0.37-0.80). Rs6092309 showed a similar pattern of association with each subtype. Three SNPs (rs6014711, rs911162, rs1047972) had positive associations with basal-like breast cancer, and ORs reduced or close to 1.00 for other subtypes. Our results suggest inverse associations between some AURKA SNPs and overall breast cancer in AA. We found differential associations by specific subtypes and by race. Replication of these findings in larger AA populations would allow more powerful race-stratified subtype analyses.

description: Recycled sand from inert construction waste appears as a possible substitute for concrete production, not least because of the increased demand for sustainable building materials. This work explores the carbonation kinetics of a recycled sand. For this purpose, recycled sands (0/4) were exposed to CO2 in a controlled carbonation chamber with two main points of interest: (i) a comprehensive study of the carbonation process; (ii) a monitoring of the mass and pH evolution during carbonation and the carbonation products from thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Firstly, we have noticed a quick mass increase of the sand within the first eight hours of exposure to CO2, indicating a rapid carbonation of the cementitious matrix; secondly, there are extended pH changes and significant CaCO3 generation, indicating an extensive and intensive initial carbonation phase. The results were used to deduce the carbonation kinetic of the recycled sand used, which is useful for recycled sands processing strategies prior to their incorporation into concrete.

Year: 2020

description: The present exploratory study compares the distribution of clicks and inbreaths in the productions of French students in two different communication settings (semiread oral class presentations vs spontaneous dyadic conversations). Grounded in a conversation analytic and discourse-pragmatic approach, mixing qualitative and quantitative methods, this study looks at the functions of clicks and inbreaths as well as accompanying kinetic behaviors (e.g swallowing, facial expressions, hand movement) in discourse. Preliminary results show a higher rate of pre-utterances clicks and inbreaths during oral presentations, which reflects the type of talk produced (structured and clear, which requires planning and preparation). And the qualitative analyses illustrate the ways speakers blend vocal and kinetic activities when producing clicks and inbreaths.

Formal Verification
Energy Systems

description: Distributed Energy Resources play an ever increasing role as the existing centralized energy system is transformed to use more decentralized renewable energy sources. Multi-agent systems are an intuitive paradigm for modeling and control of this type of system. Since the energy system is safety-critical infrastructure it is necessary to ensure its reliability. Formal verification is one way to achieve this. In this poster we motivate possible approaches to the verification problem for MAS as well as their application to energy systems. We outline key challenges that such an approach must address.

description: Quantum metrology and quantum information necessitate a profound study of suitable states. Attenuations induced by free-space communication links or fluctuations in the generation of such states limit the quantum enhancement in possible applications. For this reason we investigate quantum features of mixtures of so-called N00N states propagating in atmospheric channels. First, we show that noisy N00N states can still yield a phase resolution beyond classical limitations. Second, we identify entanglement of noisy N00N states after propagation in fluctuating loss channels. To do so, we apply the partial transposition criterion. Our theoretical analysis formulates explicit bounds which are indispensable for experimental verification of quantum entanglement and applications in quantum metrology.
