description: Knowledge Graph has been widely used in different domains, including product recommendation, and searching engine. Such application have brought huge convenience to people lives. People can conveniently find relevant information through the google search, including the relevant people or incidents. The powerful product recommendation can also benefit the shopping platforms like Alibaba and eBay, creating great values each year. However, although knowledge graph has played an important role in such achievements, there are few works focusing on using such technique in software domain, except us. In this dissertation, we discuss our findings of knowledge burying issues among different types of programming online tutorials, including API usage directives and task programming materials. Because of poor document design, online programming tutorials that contain abundant knowledge are often ignored by developers. We discover that extract key ontologies from the tutorials and construct knowledge graph can support question answering and knowledge recommendation, which is able to relief the knowledge burying problems. Consequently, we proposed methods constructing API usage directive knowledge graph and task-oriented programming knowledge graph support knowledge retrieval. Our experiments prove the high accuracy and efficiency of our construction methods and the designed user studies prove the usefulness of our knowledge graphs. Besides, we also discover with sheer amount of software vulnerabilities, information discrepancy issues among different security platforms become severe, leading to obstacles for integral knowledge application. To fully understand the discrepancy issues and relief the problem for better knowledge usage, we conduct an empirical study about vulnerability key aspect discrepancy issues among four carefully selected representative vulnerability platforms. We also propose several methods for traceability recovery and silent fix detection for the data integration. Our experiments prove the effectiveness of our methods, which contribute to the vulnerability knowledge conformity and lay the foundations for vulnerability knowledge graph construction for better knowledge usage.

description: Clinical data suggest that the relative biological effectiveness (RBE) in proton therapy (PT) varies with linear energy transfer (LET). However, LET calculations are neither standardized nor available in clinical routine. Here, the status of LET calculations among European PT institutions and their comparability are assessed. Eight European PT institutions used suitable treatment planning systems with their center-specific beam model to create treatment plans in a water phantom covering different field arrangements and fulfilling commonly agreed dose objectives. They employed their locally established LET simulation environments and procedures to determine the corresponding LET distributions. Dose distributions D1.1 and DRBE assuming constant and variable RBE, respectively, and LET were compared among the institutions. Inter-center variability was assessed based on dose- and LET-volume-histogram parameters. Treatment plans from six institutions fulfilled all clinical goals and were eligible for common analysis. D1.1 distributions in the target volume were comparable among PT institutions. However, corresponding LET values varied substantially between institutions for all field arrangements, primarily due to differences in LET averaging technique and considered secondary particle spectra. Consequently, DRBE using non-harmonized LET calculations increased inter-center dose variations substantially compared to D1.1 and significantly in mean dose to the target volume of perpendicular and opposing field arrangements (p DRBE decreased to that observed for D1.1. Harmonizing the reported LET among PT centers is feasible and allows for consistent multi-centric analysis and reporting of tumor control and toxicity in view of a variable RBE. It may serve as basis for harmonized variable RBE dose prescription in PT.

description: Exclusive measurements of the $pp \to ppπ^0π^0$ reaction have been performed at CELSIUS/WASA at energies from threshold up to $T_p$ = 1.3 GeV. Total and differential cross sections have been obtained. Here we concentrate on energies $T_p \ge$ 1 GeV, where the $ΔΔ$ excitation becomes the leading process. No evidence is found for a significant ABC effect beyond that given by the conventional $t$-channel $ΔΔ$ excitation. This holds also for the double-pionic fusion to the quasibound $^2$He. The data are compared to model predictions, which are based on both pion and $ρ$ exchange. Total and differential cross sections are at variance with these predictions and call for a profound modification of the $ρ$-exchange. A phenomenological modification allowing only a small $ρ$ exchange contribution leads to a quantitative description of the data.

description: A loop is automorphic if its inner mappings are automorphisms. Using so-called associated operations, we show that every commutative automorphic loop of odd prime power order is centrally nilpotent. Starting with anisotropic planes in the vector space of $2\times 2$ matrices over the field of prime order $p$, we construct a family of automorphic loops of order $p^3$ with trivial center.

description: The variance--covariance matrix plays a central role in the inferential theories of high-dimensional factor models in finance and economics. Popular regularization methods of directly exploiting sparsity are not directly applicable to many financial problems. Classical methods of estimating the covariance matrices are based on the strict factor models, assuming independent idiosyncratic components. This assumption, however, is restrictive in practical applications. By assuming sparse error covariance matrix, we allow the presence of the cross-sectional correlation even after taking out common factors, and it enables us to combine the merits of both methods. We estimate the sparse covariance using the adaptive thresholding technique as in Cai and Liu [J. Amer. Statist. Assoc. 106 (2011) 672--684], taking into account the fact that direct observations of the idiosyncratic components are unavailable. The impact of high dimensionality on the covariance matrix estimation based on the factor structure is then studied.

Symmetries of Hamiltonian equations and Lambda-constants of motion

description: We consider symmetries and perturbed symmetries of canonical Hamiltonian equations of motion. Specifically we consider the case in which the Hamiltonian equations exhibit a Lambda symmetry under some Lie point vector field. After a brief survey of the relationships between standard symmetries and the existence of first integrals, we recall the definition and the properties of Lambda symmetries. We show that in the presence of a Lambda symmetry for the Hamiltonian equations, one can introduce the notion of "Lambda-constant of motion". The presence of a Lambda symmetry leads also to a nice and useful reduction of the form of the equations. We then consider the case in which the Hamiltonian problem is deduced from a Lambda-invariant Lagrangian. We illustrate how the Lagrangian Lambda-invariance is transferred into the Hamiltonian context and show that the Hamiltonian equations are Lambda-symmetric. We also compare the "partial" (Lagrangian) reduction of the Euler-Lagrange equations with the reduction which can be obtained for the Hamiltonian equations. Several examples illustrate and clarify the various situations.

Probabilistic lifecycle analysis of earthquake-damaged buildings using building information models
Creators: name: Gavrilovic, Stevan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: This dissertation presents models and methods for the lifecycle analysis of buildings. Detailed models are developed that are associated with constructing, operating, repairing, and demolishing buildings. These models address an array of direct and indirect concerns, including impacts from the repair of earthquake damage. In support of cost-based decision making, a host of cost models are implemented to translate lifecycle impacts into monetary costs. The significant uncertainty in predicting earthquake hazards, material behaviour, and future costs is addressed through probabilistic modelling. The models in this dissertation are underpinned by a new library of building components. The components contain finite elements, built-in functionality, and information required for lifecycle analysis. These information-rich building components are created from building information models, or BIMs, with algorithms that are implemented in this dissertation. Methods are presented for generating a structural model from the components, and a correlation structure is developed for random variables that are created within these components. A novelty of this work is a seismic loss estimation methodology that is based on visual damage. Models are developed that predict visual damage from the responses of high- fidelity finite element models. A new damage mesh discretizes building components into damage regions where the stresses and strains are expected to influence the damage at the surface. Resembling the approach of a repair estimator, arrays of repair actions are described for different types and extents of visual damage. The repair actions are paired with a construction database to provide enriched estimates of the repair cost and duration. The new models and methods are applied to a six-storey building in order to gain new insights into the repair of earthquake damage. The building is subjected to earthquake ground motions, where it is demonstrated that the ground shaking duration, and the damage accumulated during the initial part of the shaking, influence the subsequent repairs. Next, several lifecycle analyses are performed, and wood, concrete, and steel material options are compared for the structural system. Results show that wood is the better option from a broader societal perspective.

description: We report in this paper the proofs that the pulse shape analysis can be used in some bolometers to identify the nature of the interacting particle. Indeed, while detailed analyses of the signal time development in purely thermal detectors have not produced so far interesting results, similar analyses on bolometers built with scintillating crystals seem to show that it is possible to distinguish between an electron or gamma-ray and an alpha particle interaction. This information can be used to eliminate background events from the recorded data in many rare process studies, especially Neutrinoless Double Beta decay search. Results of pulse shape analysis of signals from a number of bolometers with absorbers of different composition (CaMoO4, ZnMoO4, MgMoO4 and ZnSe) are presented and the pulse shape discrimination capability of such detectors is discussed.

description: This study aimed to develop and validate an automatic multi-atlas segmentation method for delineating the heart and substructures in breast cancer radiation therapy (RT). The atlas database consisted of non-contrast-enhanced planning CT scans from 42 breast cancer patients, each with one manual delineation of the heart and 22 cardiac substructures. Half of the patients were scanned during free-breathing, the rest were scanned during a deep inspiration breath-hold. The auto-segmentation was developed in the MIM software system and validated geometrically and dosimetrically in two steps: The first validation in a small dataset to ensure consistency of the atlas. This was succeeded by a final test where multiple manual delineations in CT scans of 12 breast cancer patients were compared to the auto-segmentation. For geometric evaluation, the dice similarity coefficient (DSC) and the mean surface distance (MSD) were used. For dosimetric evaluation, the RT doses to each substructure in the manual and the automatic delineations were compared. In the first validation, a high geometric and dosimetric performance between the automatic and manual delineations was observed for all substructures. The final test confirmed a high agreement between the automatic and manual delineations for the heart (DSC = 0.94) and the cardiac chambers (DSC: 0.75–0.86). The difference in MSD between the automatic and manual delineations was low (<4 mm) in all structures. Finally, a high correlation between mean RT doses for the automatic and the manual delineations was observed for the heart and substructures. An automatic segmentation tool for delineation of the heart and substructures in breast cancer RT was developed and validated with a high correlation between the automatic and manual delineations. The atlas is pivotal for large-scale evaluations of radiation-associated heart disease.

description: Il tema di questo lavoro è il benessere dell’allievo in classe. Duplice l’obiettivo: lavorare con allievi di prima media sulle convinzioni inerenti alla matematica, in modo particolare su quelle potenzialmente bloccanti (legate alla visione della disciplina) e sviluppare-consolidare negli allievi il senso d’autoefficacia nell’affrontare situazioni matematiche. Attraverso una strategia quantitativa/qualitativa (questionari, osservazioni in classe, brevi interviste) ho svolto una ricerca-azione con l’obiettivo di migliorare la realtà educativa degli allievi. L’autoefficacia, quale area del capitale psicologico, è stata investigata grazie all’utilizzo di un questionario. Un lavoro volto a un suo sviluppo è stato svolto sia durante le ore di classe (La scala verso l’obiettivo e Diario delle sfide) sia durante le ore di Matematica, promuovendo esperienze di padroneggiamento attraverso azione diretta, esperienza vicaria – modellamento/apprendimento osservativo e persuasione verbale. Dall’analisi dei dati si osserva un aumento del senso di autoefficacia o un suo mantenimento in una fascia medio-alta e una presa di coscienza/consapevolezza maggiori sulle proprie difficoltà, sulle possibili strategie e sulla visione di se stessi; in sintesi un’accresciuta consapevolezza sulla propria esperienza d’apprendimento.

Intra- and interpersonal emotion regulation
Creators: name: Battaglini, Ashley Mary
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: The process by which emotional experiences are managed is known as emotion regulation. Two types of emotion regulation strategies are commonly compared: rumination (focusing on one’s problems and feelings) and distraction (focusing away from one’s problems and feelings). Whereas rumination typically increases negative affect, distraction typically decreases negative affect. Past research has focused on emotion regulation as an intrapersonal endeavor (managing one’s own emotions), whereas interpersonal emotion regulation (IER; receiving support from another person to regulate one’s emotions) lacks the same degree of investigation. This study sought to compare the effects of intrapersonal emotion regulation (rumination, distraction) and IER (co-rumination, co-distraction) on affect and relationship quality and closeness. Participants completed the Fast Friends paradigm; following, participants privately recalled a stressful event. Finally, participants were randomized into one of four emotion regulation conditions: rumination, distraction, co-rumination, or co-distraction. Affect and relationship quality and closeness measures were completed throughout the study session. I predicted that rumination and co-rumination would increase negative affect compared to distraction and co-distraction. I also predicted that co-distraction would decrease negative affect more than distraction. Finally, I predicted that co-rumination would provide the highest relationship quality and closeness compared to all conditions. Results showed that negative affect did not differ after the emotion regulation conditions. However, negative affect decreased significantly more for participants in the distraction condition compared to participants in the rumination and co-rumination conditions. Finally, there were no differences in relationship quality and closeness across conditions. The limitations and implications of this study are discussed.

description: Dysphagia is a distressing symptom during and after radiotherapy treatment in head and neck cancer (HNC) patients. The objective of this prospective study was to investigate whether swallowing sparing intensity modulated radiotherapy (SW-IMRT) reduces the occurrence of swallowing dysfunction compared to the standard IMRT (ST-IMRT). We randomized, planned, and treated patients with HNC who needed whole neck irradiation using the simultaneous integrated boost (SIB) IMRT technique. Doses of 70, 60, and 54 Gy (over 33 daily fractions) were prescribed to the primary tumor, high-risk and low-risk regions, respectively. The postoperative cases received 60 and 54 Gy (over 30 daily fractions) to the high-risk planning target volume (PTV) and low-risk PTV. We contoured organs at risk related to swallowing dysfunction (SWOARs) in all cases. In the ST-IMRT group, parotids only were spared. In the SW-IMRT group, parotids and SWOARs outside the high-risk PTV were spared. Assessment of dysphagia included clinical and instrumental evaluation. One hundred forty-six patients ended their radiotherapy treatment. Dose distribution showed comparable PTV coverage and no difference in parotid glands sparing between the two groups. SWOARs dose reduction with SW-IMRT differs according to tumor location and its overlap with SWOARs. Using different assessment methods, SW-IMRT was associated with a lower occurrence of dysphagia up to one year after treatment. There was no difference between the two groups regarding acute dysphagia (p = 0.262), overall survival (p = 0.811), and disease-free survival (p = 0.876). SW-IMRT is significantly better than ST-IMRT regarding a physician-rated and objective assessment of swallowing dysfunction at short- and long-term post-treatment follow-up.

description: We consider synchronization of coupled dynamical systems when different types of interactions are simultaneously present. We assume that a set of dynamical systems are coupled through the connections of two or more distinct networks (each of which corresponds to a distinct type of interaction), and we refer to such a system as a hypernetwork. Applications include neural networks formed of both electrical gap junctions and chemical synapses, the coordinated motion of shoals of fishes communicating through both vision and flow sensing, and hypernetworks of coupled chaotic oscillators. We first analyze the case of a hypernetwork formed of $m=2$ networks. We look for necessary and sufficient conditions for synchronization. We attempt at reducing the linear stability problem in a master stability function form, i.e., at decoupling the effects of the coupling functions from the structure of the networks. Unfortunately, we are unable to obtain a reduction in a master stability function form for the general case. However, we show that such a reduction is possible in three cases of interest: (i) the Laplacian matrices associated with the two networks commute; (ii) one of the two networks is unweighted and fully connected; (iii) one of the two networks is such that the coupling strength from node $i$ to node $j$ is a function of $j$ but not of $i$. Furthermore, we define a class of networks such that if either one of the two coupling networks belongs to this class, the reduction can be obtained independently of the other network. As an example of interest, we study synchronization of a neural hypernetwork for which the connections can be either chemical synapses or electrical gap junctions. We propose a generalization of our stability results to the case of hypernetworks formed of $m\geq 2$ networks.

description: Context. The formation of vortices in accretion disks is of high interest in various astrophysical contexts, in particular for planet formation or in the disks of compact objects. But despite numerous attempts it has thus far not been possible to produce strong vortices in fully three-dimensional simulations of disks. Aims. The aim of this paper is to present the first 3D simulation of a strong vortex, established across the vertically stratified structure of a disk by the Rossby Wave Instability. Methods. Using the Versatile Advection Code (VAC), we set up a fully 3D cylindrical stratified disk potentially prone to the Rossby Wave Instability. Results. The simulation confirms the basic expectations obtained from previous 2D analytic and numerical works. The simulation exhibits a strong vortex that grows rapidly and saturates at a finite amplitude. On the other hand the third dimension shows unexpected additional behaviours that could be of strong importance in the astrophysical roles that such vortices can play.

description: Il progetto è focalizzato sulle NGN (Next Generation Networks), dedicando attenzione particolare alle Software Defined Networks (SDN). Lo scopo è di studiare i meccnismi di re-routing per poterne stabilire l’utilità in caso di grossi carichi della rete o di attacchi informatici (/es. DDoS). Dopo uno studio di diverse soluzioni open source e commerciali, sono stati selezionati i tools che permettano il system management virtuale. Tutti i sistemi studiati sono stati poi testati e implementati con configurazioni che permettano l’applicazione delle diverse tecniche di routing e re-routing, combinate e debitamente integrate con switching a livello data link. L’immagine presente in questo poster raffigura una topologia di rete che permetta lo scambio di pacchetti IPv4 tra due end points, utilizzando il protocollo MPLS per il trasporto di questi ultimi. La rete risultante prenderà quindi il nome di VPN over MPLS. Una richiesta del docente responsabile era che la rete appena descritta dovrà essere completamente virtualizzata, ma pianificando una soluzione che mostri un alto grado di integrazione con dispositivi reali (esterni al server di virtualizzazione). Altro obiettivo: realizzare una topologia di rete modificabile in tempo reale via software in base alle necessità dell’utilizzatore.

description: The high-level contribution of this paper is a simulation-based detailed performance comparison of three different classes of routing protocols for mobile ad hoc networks: stability-based routing, power-aware routing and load-balanced routing. We choose the Flow-Oriented Routing protocol (FORP), the traffic interference based Load Balancing Routing (LBR) protocol and Min-Max Battery Cost Routing (MMBCR) as representatives of the stability-based routing, load-balancing and power-aware routing protocols respectively. Among the three routing protocols, FORP incurs the least number of route transitions; while LBR incurs the smallest hop count and lowest end-to-end delay per data packet. Energy consumed per node is the least for MMBCR, closely followed by LBR. MMBCR is the most fair in terms of node usage and hence it incurs the largest time for first node failure. FORP tends to repeatedly use nodes lying on the stable path and hence is the most unfair of the three routing protocols and it incurs the smallest value for the time of first node failure. As we measure the failure times of up to the first five nodes in the network, we observe that LBR incurs the maximum improvement in the lifetime of the nodes and MMBCR incurs the least improvement beyond the time of first node failure.

description: Αντικείμενο της έρευνας αποτελεί η διερεύνηση της μειονοτικής θέσης αναφορικά με το φύλο και τον χώρο στη σύγχρονη συνθήκη, η αναγνώριση της στερεοτυπικής εκδοχής τους με στόχο την προσέγγισή τους μέσω εναλλακτικών αναγνώσεων. Η εργασία αυτή επιχειρεί να απαντήσει στο πώς το έμφυλο, το μειονοτικό και το χωρικό διασταυρώνονται, αλληλεπιδρούν και κατασκευάζονται σε συνθήκες πολυπλοκότητας και στο πώς αυτό εκφράζεται στον χωρικό σχεδιασμό. Θεωρητικό υπόβαθρο αποτελούν οι σπουδές φύλου, οι φεμινιστικές θεωρίες και οι θεωρίες χώρου και ανθρωπογεωγραφίας με έμφαση στην περίοδο του μεταδομισμού.
Στην πρώτη ενότητα, προσεγγίζονται συνοπτικά τα ρεύματα ανάγνωσης του φύλου. Πιο συγκεκριμένα, αναλύεται η εξέλιξη της έννοιας του φύλου χρονολογικά, η μετατόπιση από το βιολογικό φύλο - sex (1960) στο κοινωνικό φύλο - gender (1970) και την έμφυλη μειονοτική εμπειρία.
Στην επόμενη ενότητα, εξετάζονται οι μεταδομιστικές - μεταουμανιστικές προσεγγίσεις του φύλου και του χώρου. Ειδικότερα, μελετώνται τα έμφυλα ενδιάμεσα, έτσι όπως διαφαίνονται στις κυβερνοφεμινιστικές και οικοφεμινιστικές προσεγγίσεις του φύλου, στο σχήμα του “γίγνεσθαι γυναίκα” και στην έννοια της επιτελεστικότητας. Ερευνώνται οι εντοπισμένες έμφυλες θέσεις και η έννοια του φύλου ως συναρμογή ετερότητας. Επιπρόσθετα, αναλύονται οι θεωρίες του χώρου που σχετίζονται με τα χωρικά ενδιάμεσα, την έννοια της τριτότητας σε ζητήματα χωρικότητας και πώς αυτή διασταυρώνεται με την ταυτότητα και την ετερότητα.
Στην τρίτη ενότητα, το ενδιαφέρον των θεωρητικών προσεγγίσεων μετατοπίζεται από το φύλο στη μειονοτική θέση και μέσω διεπιστημονικών προσεγγίσεων διερευνώνται οι διασταυρώσεις της με διαφορετικές οπτικές. Μελετώνται η συγκρότηση του χώρου της πόλης υπό το πρίσμα του υλιστικού φεμινισμού, η έννοια του περιθωρίου, αλλά και ο πολιτικός και κριτικός χαρακτήρας της δημόσιας τέχνης και το πώς συμβάλλουν στην δημιουργία χώρου μέσω εναλλακτικών φεμινιστικών χωρικών πρακτικών.
Στην τέταρτη ενότητα, παρατίθενται παραδειγματικές προσεγγίσεις του σύγχρονου χωρικού σχεδιασμού. Εξετάζονται φεμινιστικές και μειονοτικές επιτελέσεις στην πόλη (αστικός σχεδιασμός, αρχιτεκτονική, αστική τέχνη, performance) με στόχο την ανάδειξη της έμφυλης διάστασης του αστικού σχεδιασμού, την συμπερίληψη, την υποστήριξη συμμετοχής μειονοτικών ομάδων, την καταγραφή εμπειριών των αποκλεισμένων κοινωνικών ομάδων και την διεκδίκηση του δημόσιου χώρου.
Τέλος, εξετάζεται πώς μπορούν να εφαρμοστούν στην πράξη ήπιες χωρικές στρατηγικές, οι οποίες είναι ανοιχτές στην οικειοποίηση, την αναπροσαρμογή, το χωρικό “ανήκειν” και την ετερότητα, εφαρμόζοντας εναλλακτικές μεθόδους, εργαλεία και πρακτικές στον χωρικό σχεδιασμό.

description: The upper critical fields ($H_{c2}$) of the single crystals $\rm(Sr,Na)Fe_2As_2$ and $\rm Ba_{0.55}K_{0.45}Fe_2As_2$ were determined by means of measuring the electrical resistivity, $ ρ_{xx}(μ_0H)$, using the facilities of pulsed magnetic field at Los Alamos. In general, these compounds possess a very large upper critical field ($H_{c2}(0)$) with a weak anisotropic effect. The detailed curvature of $H_{c2}(T_c)$ may depend on the magnetic field orientation and the sample compositions. We argue that such a difference mainly results from the multi-band effect, which might be modified via doping.

description: By tempered Monte Carlo simulations, we study 2D site-diluted dipolar Ising systems. Dipoles are randomly placed on a fraction x of all L^2 sites in a square lattice, and point along a common crystalline axis. For x_c< x<=1, where x_c = 0.79(5), we find an antiferromagnetic phase below a temperature which vanishes as x approaches x_c from above. At lower values of x, we study (i) distributions of the spin--glass (SG) overlap q, (ii) their relative mean square deviation Delta_q^2 and kurtosis and (iii) xi_L/L, where xi_L is a SG correlation length. From their variation with temperature and system size, we find that the paramagnetic phase covers the entire T>0 range. Our results enable us to obtain an estimate of the critical exponent associated to the correlation length at T=0, 1/nu=0.35(10).
