description: The orienteering problem (OP) is a subclass of the traveling salesman problem (TSP) that includes a constraining function on the solution path that may restrict the number of vertices visited and a requirement to maximize the value of the vertices visited. Solving the OP is often approached by using linear programming (LP) and branch-and-bound algorithms. Existing research on the OP does not provide algorithms or heuristic approaches for solving this class of problems using only geographic information system (GIS) software and a spreadsheet. Several new heuristic approaches are presented and tested on small and medium real-world road network datasets. The heuristics are evaluated relative to the optimal solution found through an integer linear programming (ILP) approach. Heuristics evaluated include the Nearest Neighbor Heuristic (NNH) and Highest Available Heuristic (HAH). A centralizing initialization step is also introduced and evaluated. The new heuristic approaches make it possible to find a good solution for xii a small OP in network space without requiring knowledge of or access to LP software. Future research is called for to develop more effective heuristics, further validate existing heuristics, and improve the implementation times of existing heuristics.

description: Crowdsourcing and the wisdom of crowds [5] have established that a large number of low quality inputs can be reliably aggregated to yield a higher quality output. This thesis examines whether the wisdom of crowds can be extended to sculptures or three-dimensional models. To do so, we discuss the design of a 3D modeling tool requiring no training and make use of it to crowdsource the creation of hundreds of sculptures from nearly a thousand individuals. We introduce several techniques for aggregating low quality 3D models. Finally, we performed a perceptual study to evaluate the quality of input and aggregate models. We report our ndings related to additive versus subtractive modeling, automatic versus manual rotation, and our various aggregation techniques.

Emergent quantum criticality from spin-orbital entanglement in $d^8$ Mott insulators: the case of a diamond lattice antiferromagnet

description: Motivated by the recent activities on the Ni-based diamond lattice antiferromagnet NiRh$_2$O$_4$, we theoretically explore on a general ground the unique spin and orbital physics for the Ni$^{2+}$ ions with a $3d^8$ electron configuration in the tetrahedral crystal field environment and on a diamond lattice Mott insulator. The superexchange interaction between the local moments usually favors magnetic orders. Due to the particular electron configuration of the Ni$^{2+}$ ion with a partially filled upper $t_{2g}$ level and a fully filled lower $e_g$ level, the atomic spin-orbit coupling becomes active at the linear order and would favor a spin-orbital-entangled singlet with quenched local moments in the single-ion limit. Thus, the spin-orbital entanglement competes with the superexchange and could drive the system to a quantum critical point that separates the spin-orbital singlet and the magnetic order. We further explore the effects of magnetic field and uniaxial pressure. The non-trivial response to the magnetic field is intimately tied to the underlying spin-orbital structure of the local moments. We discuss the future experiments such as doping and pressure, and point out the correspondence between different electron configurations.

description: The University of North Carolina passive aerosol sampler (UNC sampler) could be an alternative when measuring occupational dust exposure, but the time required for microscopic imaging of the sampler needs to be reduced to make it more attractive. The aims of this study were to (1) characterize the effect on precision when reducing imaging, in order to shorten analysis time and (2) assess if the position of the images makes a difference. Eighty-eight samplers were deployed in different locations of an open pit mine. Sixty images were captured for each UNC sampler, covering 51% of its collection surface, using scanning electron microscopy. Bootstrapped samples were generated with different image combinations, to assess the within-sampler coefficient of variation (CVws) for different numbers of images. In addition, the particle concentration relative to the distance from the center of the sampler was studied. Reducing the number of images collected from the UNC sampler led to up to 8.3% CVws for 10 images when calculating respirable fraction. As the overall CV has previously been assessed to 36%, the additional contribution becomes minimal, increasing the overall CV to 37%. The mean concentrations of the images were modestly related to distance from the center of the sampler. The CVws changed from 8.26% to 8.13% for 10 images when applying rules for the image collection based on distance. Thus, the benefit of these rules on the precision is small and the images can therefore be chosen at random. In conclusion, reducing the number of images analyzed from 60 to 10, corresponding to a reduction of the imaged sampling area from 51% to 8.5%, results in a negligible loss in precision for respirable fraction dust measurements in occupational environments.

description: The objective of the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) accuracy criterion is to ensure that measurements from monitoring devices are within ±25% of the true concentration of the analyte with 95% certainty. To determine whether NO2 and O3 sensors meet this criterion, three commercially available units (Cairclip O3/NO2, Aeroqual NO2, and Aeroqual O3 sensors) were co-located three times with validated instruments (NOx chemiluminescence [NO2mon] and photometric O3 analyzers [O3mon]) at an outdoor monitoring station. As cofactors of sensor performance such as temperature (T) and relative humidity (RH) potentially influence the response of NO2 and O3 sensors, corrections for cofactors were made by using T, RH, and the sensor measurements to predict measurements made by NO2mon and O3mon during the first co-location period (training dataset). The developed models were tested in the merged data obtained from the second and third co-location periods (testing dataset). In the training and testing datasets, the mean NO2 as measured by NO2mon was 4.6 ppb (range = 0.4–35 ppb) and 9.4 ppb (range = 1–37 ppb), respectively. The mean O3 in the training and testing datasets as measured by O3mon was 38.8 ppb (range = 1–65 ppb) and 35.7 ppb (range = 1–61 ppb), respectively. None of the sensor measurements in the training dataset were within the NIOSH accuracy criterion (mean error ≥25%). After correcting for cofactors of sensor performance, the accuracy of the Cairclip O3/NO2 and the Aeroqual O3 sensors considerably improved when tested with the testing dataset (mean error = -1% and 14%, respectively). However, the Aeroqual NO2 sensor had an error that was not within ±25%. Raw measurements from the tested sensors may be unsuitable for assessing workers’ exposure to NO2 and O3. Corrections for cofactors of Cairclip O3/NO2 and Aeroqual O3 sensor performance are required for more accurate occupational exposure assessment.

description: Jahn-Teller (JT) electron-phonon coupling effects in the colossal magnetoresistance perovskite compounds $La_{1-x}A_xMnO_3$ are investigated. Electron-electron correlations between two degenerate Mn $e_g$ orbitals are studied in the Gutzwiller approximation. The static JT distortion and antiadiabatic polaron effects are studied in a modified Lang-Firsov approximation. We find that (i) the electron or hole character of the charge carrier depends on the static JT distortion, and (ii) due to the two-component nature of the JT coupling, fluctuations in the JT distortion direction contribute to the charge transport in similar fashion as the local spins.

description: When transported in confined geometries rigid fibers show interesting transport dynamics induced by friction with the top and bottom walls. Fiber flexibility causes an additional coupling between fiber deformation and transport and is expected to lead to more complex dynamics. A first crucial step for their understanding is the characterization of the deformed fiber shape. Here we characterize this shape for a fiber transported in a confined plug flow perpendicular to the flow direction using a combination of microfluidic experiments and numerical simulations. In the experiments, size, initial orientation, and mechanical properties of the fibers are controlled using micro-fabrication techniques and in-situ characterization methods.The numerical simulations use modified Brinkman equations as well as full 3D simulations. We show that the bending of a perpendicular fiber results from the force distribution acting on the elongated object and is proportional to the elasto-viscous number, comparing viscous to elastic forces. We quantitatively characterize the influence of the confinement on the fiber deformation. The precise understanding of the deformation of a flexible fiber in a confined geometry can also be used in future to understand the deformation and transport of more complex deformable particles in confined flows, as for example vesicles or red blood cells.

description: We demonstrate the existence of non-abelian non-topological solitons such as Q-balls in the spectrum of Wess-Zumino models with non-abelian global symmetries. We conveniently name them Q-superballs and identify them for short as Q-sballs. More specifically, we show that in contrast to the non-supersymmetric case, they arise in renormalizable potentials with cubic self-interactions of only one dimensionful parameter and for the entire parameter space of the model available. We solve the field equations and present the explicit form of the Q-sball solution. We compute its main physical properties and observe that in the supersymmetrically invariant vacuum Q-sballs form domains of manifestly broken sypersymmetry.

description: Any computational approach to design, including the use of evolutionary algorithms, requires the transformation of the domain-specific knowledge into a formal design representation. This is a difficult and still not completely understood process. Its critical part is the choice of a type of design representation. The paper addresses this important issue by presenting and discussing results of a large number of design experiments in which parameterized and generative representations were used. Particularly, their computational and design related advantages and disadvantages were investigated and compared. Evolutionary design experiments reported in this paper considered two classes of structural design problems, including the design of a wind bracing system and the design of an entire structural system in a tall building. Parameterized and generative representations of the structural systems were introduced and their basic features discussed. The generative representations investigated in the paper were inspired by the processes of morphogenesis occurring in nature. Specifically, one-dimensional cellular automata were used to develop, or 'grow,' structural designs from the corresponding 'design embryos.' The conducted research led to three major conclusions. First, generative representations based on cellular automata proved to scale well with the size of the considered design problems. Second, generative representations outperformed parameterized representations in minimizing weight of the structural systems in our problem domain by generating better designs and finding them faster. Finally, extensive experimental studies showed significant differences in optimal settings for evolutionary design experiments for the two representation types. The rate of mutation operator, the size of the parent population, and the type of the evolutionary algorithm were identified as the evolutionary parameters having the largest impact on the performance of evolutionary design processes in our problem domain.

description: In this talk we summarised some of the research that is currently (and for the very first time) going on in Ethiopia and East-African region regarding the physics of active galaxies. This research is focused on the following questions: what are the stellar ages and populations of ultra hard X-ray detected AGN and connection between AGN and their host galaxies?, what are the morphological properties of AGN and how precisely we can deal with morphological classification of active galaxies?, what are the properties of radio-loud and radio-quiet quasars (QSO) and dichotomy between the two?, what are the properties of AGN in galaxy clusters and the role that environment has in triggering nuclear activity?, what are the properties of galaxies in the green valley and role of AGN in galaxy evolution?, and how are variability and micro-variability properties of nearby active galaxies?. Each of these questions has been developed under one specific project that has been briefly introduced. With all projects we aim, on one side, to contribute with our research to the general knowledge about AGN, and on the other, to contribute to the development of astronomy, institutional development, and human capacity building in Ethiopia and Africa.

description: This paper addresses the highly challenging problem of automatically detecting man-made structures especially buildings in very high resolution (VHR) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. In this context, the paper has two major contributions: Firstly, it presents a novel and generic workflow that initially classifies the spaceborne TomoSAR point clouds $ - $ generated by processing VHR SAR image stacks using advanced interferometric techniques known as SAR tomography (TomoSAR) $ - $ into buildings and non-buildings with the aid of auxiliary information (i.e., either using openly available 2-D building footprints or adopting an optical image classification scheme) and later back project the extracted building points onto the SAR imaging coordinates to produce automatic large-scale benchmark labelled (buildings/non-buildings) SAR datasets. Secondly, these labelled datasets (i.e., building masks) have been utilized to construct and train the state-of-the-art deep Fully Convolution Neural Networks with an additional Conditional Random Field represented as a Recurrent Neural Network to detect building regions in a single VHR SAR image. Such a cascaded formation has been successfully employed in computer vision and remote sensing fields for optical image classification but, to our knowledge, has not been applied to SAR images. The results of the building detection are illustrated and validated over a TerraSAR-X VHR spotlight SAR image covering approximately 39 km$ ^2 $ $ - $ almost the whole city of Berlin $ - $ with mean pixel accuracies of around 93.84%

description: We consider ensembles of real symmetric band matrices with entries drawn from an infinite sequence of exchangeable random variables, as far as the symmetry of the matrices permits. In general the entries of the upper triangular parts of these matrices are correlated and no smallness or sparseness of these correlations is assumed. It is shown that the eigenvalue distribution measures still converge to a semicircle but with random scaling. We also investigate the asymptotic behavior of the corresponding $\ell_2$-operator norms. The key to our analysis is a generalisation of a classic result by de Finetti that allows to represent the underlying probability spaces as averages of Wigner band ensembles with entries that are not necessarily centred. Some of our results appear to be new even for such Wigner band matrices.

description: Ionic liquids form intricate microstructures, both in the bulk and near charged surfaces. In this Letter, we show that, given the ionic positions from molecular simulations, the ionic charges minimize a "spin-glass" Hamiltonian for nearest-neighbor interactions with remarkable accuracy, for both room-temperature ionic liquids (RTIL) and water-in-salt electrolytes (WiSE). Long-range charge oscillations in ionic liquids thus result from positional ordering, which is maximized in ionic solids, but gradually disappears with added solvent. As the electrolyte becomes more disordered, geometrical frustration in the spin-glass ground state reduces correlation lengths. Eventually, thermal fluctuations excite the system from its ground state, and Poisson-Boltzmann behavior is recovered. More generally, spin-glass ordering arises in any liquid with anti-ferromagnetic correlations, such as 2D vortex patterns in super-fluids or bacterial turbulence.

description: Two photon decay widths of the $J^P = O^+$ scalar mesons $a_{0} (980)$, $f_{0}(980)$, $f_{0}(1370)$ and $χ_{c0}$ are calculated in a covariant model which is characterized by the quark - antiquark structure. Previously such models were used to calculate current form factors. Here a different application is tried. A simple version of the model uses adjusted nonrelativistic model parameters with small quark masses. The results seem to prefer nonideal mixing of $f_0(980)$ and $f_0(1370)$. The calculated decay rate of $χ_{c0}$ agrees with the experimental results.

description: Many Pareto-based multi-objective evolutionary algorithms require to rank the solutions of the population in each iteration according to the dominance principle, what can become a costly operation particularly in the case of dealing with many-objective optimization problems. In this paper, we present a new efficient algorithm for computing the non-dominated sorting procedure, called Merge Non-Dominated Sorting (MNDS), which has a best computational complexity of $Θ(NlogN)$ and a worst computational complexity of $Θ(MN^2)$. Our approach is based on the computation of the dominance set of each solution by taking advantage of the characteristics of the merge sort algorithm. We compare the MNDS against four well-known techniques that can be considered as the state-of-the-art. The results indicate that the MNDS algorithm outperforms the other techniques in terms of number of comparisons as well as the total running time.

description: We present a network consisting of quantum gates which produces two imperfect copies of an arbitrary qubit. The quality of the copies does not depend on the input qubit. We also show that for a restricted class of inputs it is possible to use a very similar network to produce three copies instead of two. For qubits in this class, the copy quality is again independent of the input and is the same as the quality of the copies produced by the two-copy network.

description: Declining mental health is a growing epidemic on college campuses today. Research confirming this claim provides strong reason for psychologists, student affairs practitioners, and higher education administrators to address this problem by finding means of improving psychological health among college students. Previous research has found that social relationships are a significant predictor of psychological health and well-being. Using Ryff's Scales of Psychological Well-being, the aim of this research is to empirically demonstrate the correlations between peer relationships and psychological well-being among college students living in three different residence hall communities at a large public research university.

description: We construct a rational extension of the truncated Calogero-Sutherland model by Pittman et al. The exact solution of this rationally extended model is obtained analytically and it is shown that while the energy eigenvalues remain unchanged, however the eigenfunctions are completely different and written in terms of exceptional X1 Laguerre orthogonal polynomials. The rational model is further extended to a more general, the Xm case by introducing m dependent interaction term. As expected, in the special case of m = 0, the extended model reduces to the conventional model of Pittman et al. In the two appropriate limits, we thereby obtain rational extensions of the celebrated Calogero-Sutherland as well as Jain-Khare models.

description: The 120-day Mid-latitude Seasonal Oscillation (MLSO) and its possible connections to surface weather over North America are investigated. Atmospheric modes, such as the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Pacific North American (PNA) teleconnection pattern, and the atmosphere-ocean coupled mode El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO), are known to have significant impacts on surface weather, e.g., temperature and precipitation. Understanding how the recently discovered MLSO affects the surface weather over North America will be useful for improving the extended-range forecast. The analysis of frequency ratios such as warm over cold days and wet over dry days and composite analysis reveal the influence of MLSO on surface weather. The impact of MLSO is also investigated in conjunction with other climate modes such as NAO, PNA and ENSO. All investigations are split into boreal summer and winter and the analyses of the MLSO combined with other modes are conducted for two modes of phasing: in phase and out of phase. These analyses reveal that the MLSO is an important factor in understanding the temperature variability over North America. It is also found that the MLSO plays a role in exciting variability when interacting with other modes exerting influence over the same region. Expected patterns of temperature and precipitation associated with well-known climate modes show deviation when they are further decomposed to account for the MLSO influence. The MLSO is a vital component to the climate system of North America and its affects elsewhere on the globe need to be investigated.

description: Reproductive success is an increasing concern for captive African elephants (Loxodonta africana) in North America. Low fecundity rates indicate these populations are unsustainable. Chronic hyperprolactinemia (HPRL), elevated prolactin secretion, has been proven to have a strong association with ovarian dysfunction in African female elephants. Previous studies have identified metabolic effects correlated with acyclicity, such as higher concentrations of insulin and leptin and lower glucose-to- insulin (G: I) ratios. However, metabolic effects from chronic elevated prolactin have yet to be investigated. In humans, in addition to amenorrhea, hyperprolactinemic women have shown increased risks for accelerated atherosclerosis, hyperandrogenemia, reduced metabolism, and insulin resistance. The aim for the study was to explore possible associations between abnormal prolactin secretion (high and low) and metabolic disorders in elephants. One year of serum samples, collected biweekly, were obtained from African female elephants (n=36) with varying status of prolactin secretion (high= 12, normal= 12, low= 12). Biomarkers were assessed to compare thyroid function, glucose and lipid metabolism and cardiovascular health amongst the high, normal, and low prolactin state groups. Generalized linear mixed models (GLMs) were performed in R. Results determined that high prolactin secretion is associated with abnormal TSH and thyroid hormone production, elevated cortisol and cholesterol, and reduced fructosamine. Low prolactin individuals were found to have heightened levels of testosterone. Taken together, this study highlights several areas in need of further study to further advance our understanding of African elephant physiology and the etiology of hyperprolactinemia in female elephants. This study suggests that hyperprolactinemic females may have further hormone perturbations with associated changes in thyroid, cortisol and cholesterol levels, while hypoprolactinemic females have increased levels of serum testosterone. More studies are warranted to better understand the effects associated with acyclicity and abnormal prolactin secretion.

title: Efficient Wideband Temporal Spectrum Sensing from Noisy Measurements
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2020

description: Cognitive radio is regarded as a promising technology for efficient utilization of the spectrum. In general, the licensed users, also known as primary users (PUs), frequently leave a substantial portion of the purchased spectrum unoccupied or idle. Cognitive radio technology has the potential to utilize the wasted spectrum resource without causing harmful interference to the PUs. The two most important aspects of cognitive radio technology are spectrum sensing and dynamic spectrum access. To guarantee the performance of dynamic spectrum access for the unlicensed users or secondary users (SUs), accurate spectrum sensing of the licensed spectrum is required. Many of the narrowband and wideband spectrum sensing approaches proposed in the literature are based on measurements of signal features such as the energy within a band or the cyclostationary spectrum, but do not capture the temporal dynamics of spectrum usage. There have been relatively few works on spectrum sensing based on stochastic models. In this dissertation, we model the temporal dynamics of the received signal from a PU by a Markov modulated Gaussian process (MMGP). We propose a method to estimate the parameter of this process and to use the parameter to estimate and predict the channel states of each PU. When taking power measurements as observations, the spectrum sensing accuracy of our model-based approach is demonstrated to be better than that of the energy detector. In this dissertation, we develop temporal spectrum sensing schemes for both the wideband and multiband scenarios. For the wideband case, we propose a model-based spectrum sensing scheme using cepstral feature vectors as observations. The scheme is able to detect changes in the transmission configuration on an identified PU band. This allows multiband sensing techniques to be applied to the wideband case. For the multiband case, we propose a parameter estimation scheme based on the MMGP. An optimal computing budget allocation approach is developed to allocate sensing time to PU bands in a multiband setup. Numerical results are provided to evaluate the performance of the proposed wideband and multiband temporal spectrum sensing schemes.
