description: For readability and disambiguation of the written text, appropriate word segmentation is recommended for documentation, and it also holds for the digitized texts. If the language is agglutinative while far from scriptio continua, for instance in the Korean language, the problem becomes more significant. However, some device users these days find it challenging to communicate via key stroking, not only for handicap but also for being unskilled. In this study, we propose a real-time assistive technology that utilizes an automatic word segmentation, designed for digital minorities who are not familiar with electronic typing. We propose a data-driven system trained upon a spoken Korean language corpus with various non-canonical expressions and dialects, guaranteeing the comprehension of contextual information. Through quantitative and qualitative comparison with other text processing toolkits, we show the reliability of the proposed system and its fit with colloquial and non-normalized texts, which fulfills the aim of supportive technology.

Quantum Field Theory of Meson Mixing
Creators: name: Binger, Michael

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We have developed a quantum field theoretic framework for scalar and pseudoscalar meson mixing and oscillations in time. The unitary inequivalence of the Fock space of base (unmixed) eigenstates and the physical mixed eigenstates is proven and shown to lead to a rich condensate structure. This is exploited to develop formulas for two flavor boson oscillations in systems of arbitrary boson occupation number. The mixing and oscillation can be understood in terms of vacuum condensate which interacts with the bare particles to induce non-trivial effects. We apply these formulas to analyze the mixing of $η$ with $η'$ and comment on the $K_L K_S$ system. In addition, we consider the mixing of boson coherent states, which may have future applications in the construction of meson lasers.

Born-Infeld Strings Tunneling to D-branes
Creators: name: Emparan, Roberto
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Recent work on solutions to the Born-Infeld theory used to describe D-branes suggests that fundamental strings can be viewed, in a certain limit, as D-branes whose worldvolumes have collapsed to string-like configurations. Here we address the possibility of undoing this collapse, by inducing the string to tunnel to an extended brane configuration. Using semiclassical methods we argue that, by putting one of these Born-Infeld strings in the background of a uniform 4-form RR field strength, the string can nucleate a spheroidal bulge of D2-brane, or, if the string is wrapped around a small enough circle, it can tunnel to a toroidal D2-brane. This process can also be interpreted in terms of the M2-brane. We also address the extension to other D$p$-branes, and discuss the range of validity of the approximations involved.

Subjects: subject: Dark tourism

description: This thesis utilizes Chernobyl, site of the world’s largest nuclear disaster, as a case study through which to parse the phenomenon of dark tourism, “travel to sites associated with death, suffering and the seemingly macabre” (Stone 2006:146). In light of the COVID-19 pandemic precluding in-person travel, the author conducted virtual ethnographic fieldwork through distributing questionnaires and conducting interviews with participants who had visited---either on an official guided tour or illegally---to build on secondary research on dark tourism and further nuance the visitor experience at Chernobyl. In the body of work, the author explores scholarly conceptions of dark tourism; motivations to visit Chernobyl; the influence of mass media on visitors using the theoretical frameworks of hauntology and hyperreality; legends and narratives about Chernobyl pre- and post-disaster; visitor and tour guide ‘performance’; and the ethics and future of Chernobyl as a site of dark tourism. This thesis is unique within the realm of scholarship on Chernobyl by virtue of its predominantly folkloristic and ethnographic lens, as well as its focus on illegal visitors known as Stalkers, about whom very little academic writing has been published and who are necessary for a cohesive understanding of what it means to be a visitor to Chernobyl.
Stochastic Multipath Model for the In-Room Radio Channel based on Room Electromagnetics
Creators: name: Pedersen, Troels
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Signal Processing (eess.SP)
subject: FOS: Electrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineering

description: We propose a stochastic multipath model for the received signal for the case where the transmitter and receiver, both with directive antennas, are situated in the same rectangular room. This scenario is known to produce channel impulse responses with a gradual specular-to-diffused transition in delay. Mirror source theory predicts the arrival rate to be quadratic in delay, inversely proportional to room volume and proportional to the product of the antenna beam coverage fractions. We approximate the mirror source positions by a homogeneous spatial Poisson point process and their gain as complex random variables with the same second moment. The multipath delays in the resulting model form an inhomogeneous Poisson point process which enables derivation of the characteristic functional, power/kurtosis delay spectra, and the distribution of order statistics of the arrival delays in closed form. We find that the proposed model matches the mirror source model well in terms of power delay spectrum, kurtosis delay spectrum, order statistics, and prediction of mean delay and rms delay spread. The constant rate model, assumed in e.g. the Saleh-Valenzuela model, is unable to reproduce the same effects.

description: We study the finite temperature electroweak phase transition in an external hypercharge U(1) magnetic field H_Y, using lattice Monte Carlo simulations. For sufficiently small fields, H_Y/T^2 < 0.3, the magnetic field makes the first order transition stronger, but it still turns into a crossover for Higgs masses m_H ~ 80 GeV. For larger fields, we observe a mixed phase analogous to a type I superconductor, where a single macroscopic tube of the symmetric phase, parallel to H_Y, penetrates through the broken phase. For the magnetic fields and Higgs masses studied, we did not see indications of the expected Ambjorn-Olesen phase, which should be similar to a type II superconductor.

These analyses have contributed to bring new insights in cosmic ray physics, in particular in the framework of primary cosmic ray composition studies. Moreover, this activity allows the testing and tuning of Monte Carlo simulations, in particular for aspects associated with models of hadronic interactions and muon propagation through the rock.

description: We study the relation between the metallicity of quasar broad line region (BLR) and black hole (BH) mass ($10^{7.5}M_{\odot} \sim 10^{10}M_{\odot}$) and quasar bolometric luminosity ($10^{44.6}erg/s \sim 10^{48} erg/s$) using a sample of $\sim$130,000 quasars at $2.25\leq z\leq 5.25$ from Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 12 (DR12). We generate composite spectra by stacking individual spectra in the same BH mass (bolometric luminosity) and redshift bins and then estimate the metallicity of quasar BLR using metallicity-sensitive broad emission-line flux ratios based on the photoionization models. We find a significant correlation between quasar BLR metallicity and BH mass (bolometric luminosity) but no correlation between quasar BLR metallicity and redshift. We also compare the metallicity of quasar BLR and that of host galaxies inferred from the mass-metallicity relation of star-forming galaxy at $z\sim2.3$ and $z\sim3.5$. We find quasar BLR metallicity is 0.3 $\sim$ 1.0 dex higher than their host galaxies. This discrepancy cannot be interpreted by the uncertainty due to different metallicity diagnostic methods, mass-metallicity relation of galaxy, metallicity gradient in quasar host galaxies, BH mass estimation, the effect of different spectral energy distribution (SED) models, and a few other potential sources of uncertainties. We propose a possibility that the high metallicity in quasar BLR might be caused by metal enrichment from massive star formation in the nucleus region of quasars or even the accretion disk.

description: SS433 is the only Galactic binary system known to persistently accrete at highly super-critical (or hyper-critical) rates, similar to those in tidal disruption events, and likely needed to explain the rapid growth of those very high redshift quasars containing massive SMBHs. Probing the inner regions of SS433 in the X-rays is crucial to understanding this system, and super-critical accretion in general, but is highly challenging due to obscuration by the surrounding wind, driven from the accretion flow. NuSTAR observed SS433 in the hard X-ray band across multiple phases of its 162 day super-orbital precession period. Spectral-timing tools allow us to infer that the hard X-ray emission from the inner regions is likely being scattered towards us by the walls of the wind-cone. By comparing to numerical models, we determine an intrinsic X-ray luminosity of $\ge$ 2$\times$10$^{37}$ erg/s and that, if viewed face on, we would infer an apparent luminosity of $>$ 1$\times$10$^{39}$ erg/s, confirming SS433's long-suspected nature as an ultraluminous X-ray source (ULX). We present the discovery of a narrow, $\sim 100$s lag due to atomic processes occurring in outflowing material travelling at least 0.14-0.29c, which matches absorption lines seen in ULXs and -- in the future -- will allow us to map a super-critical outflow for the first time.

Use of biomarkers and surrogate endpoints in health technology assessment (HTA): efficient decision-making for allocation of pharmacological treatment strategies in subpopulations of metastatic colorectal cancer patients
Creators: name: Crossley, Heather J.
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2024
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: When evaluating new cancer therapies in clinical trials, it may take significant time toestimate their effectiveness on overall survival (OS), which is typically an outcome of central interest to regulatory decision-makers. To expedite access to new therapies for patients, regulatory agencies often make their decisions based on treatment effectiveness measured on surrogate outcomes, such as progression free survival (PFS) or tumour response (TR). For such decisions to be robust, a surrogate endpoint needs to be a valid predictor of OS. The aim of the thesis was to investigate the impact of a treatment’s mechanism of action and patients’ Kirsten rat sarcoma (KRAS) status on surrogacy patterns in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC). Putative surrogate endpoints considered here were PFS as a surrogate endpoint for OS, and TR as a surrogate for PFS and OS. The surrogate relationships were evaluated across all RCTs, by KRAS status, treatment class, and treatment contrast; using a range of bivariate meta-analytic methods for surrogate endpoint evaluation. A case study in mCRC was used to explore the potential benefits that borrowing of information across trials and treatment classes can provide to inform decision-making.
PFS appeared to be a good surrogate endpoint for OS. The surrogate relationship for TR with PFS and OS varied from exhibiting moderate evidence to no evidence to support a surrogate relationship depending on the data set. There was some evidence of the impact of the mechanism of action on the strength of the surrogacy patterns in mCRC, but little evidence of the impact of KRAS status on the validity of surrogate endpoints. The use of these methods within a health technology assessment setting can be beneficial for confirming the validity of a surrogate endpoint, making predictions for OS, and ultimately allowing a trial with premature or no OS data to be assessed by decision-making bodies.

description: We discuss topological theories, arising from the general $\mathcal{N}=2$ twisted gauge theories. We initiate a program of their study in the Gromov-Witten paradigm. We re-examine the low-energy effective abelian theory in the presence of sources and study the mixing between the various $p$-observables. We present the twisted superfield formalism which makes duality transformations transparent. We propose a scheme which uniquely fixes all the contact terms. We derive a formula for the correlation functions of $p$-observables on the manifolds of generalized simple type for $0 \leq p \leq 4$ and on some manifolds with $b_{2}^{+} =1$. We study the theories with matter and explore the properties of universal instanton. We also discuss the compactifications of higher dimensional theories. Some relations to sigma models of type $A$ and $B$ are pointed out and exploited.

description: Many questions about the characteristics of dictatorships and the process and likelihood of their transition towards democracy remain unanswered. In this paper, we contend that in order to get a comprehensive picture of a dictatorial regime and its prospects of democratization, we need to highlight the importance of “free activity” in the strategic interaction between the dictator and the citizens–the dynamics of “bargaining, for the reaching of understandings and misunderstandings, for accommodation and co-operation and for conjectures about each other’s decision processes, value systems and information” (Schelling, 1961). We specifically analyze three strategies that participants use under different circumstances in an attempt to achieve their most favorable outcome: changing the payoffs of the opponents, “burning” money by a participant to signal his intentions about the future action and the use of brinkmanship. In doing so, we learn about the behavior of the participants that usually remains out of reach of straightforward analysis. The framework generates a variety of potential behavior within a framework of a few variables and constraints and is therefore able to generate hypotheses about relationships among various variables of interest.

description: We report theoretical electronic structure of Fibonacci superlattices of narrow-gap III-V semiconductors. Electron dynamics is accurately described within the envelope-function approximation in a two-band model. Quasiperiodicity is introduced by considering two different III-V semiconductor layers and arranging them according to the Fibonacci series along the growth direction. The resulting energy spectrum is then found by solving exactly the corresponding effective-mass (Dirac-like) wave equation using tranfer-matrix techniques. We find that a self-similar electronic spectrum can be seen in the band structure. Electronic transport properties of samples are also studied and related to the degree of spatial localization of electronic envelope-functions via Landauer resistance and Lyapunov coefficient. As a working example, we consider type II InAs/GaSb superlattices and discuss in detail our results in this system.

Creators: name: Pahler Jr., Raymond Henry
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University
publisherIdentifier: https://ror.org/04zjtrb98
publisherIdentifierScheme: ROR
Year: 1974

description: Design and performance characteristics of a fiber optic pressure transducer are presented and discussed. The transducer consists of a cylindrical metal housing with a specular reflecting aluminum diaphragm at the distal end and a circular array of fiber optic light guides at the proximal end. The center bundle is connected to a light source with the surrounding bundles carrying reflected light to a photodetector. A change in pressure on the diaphragm causes a deflection which in turn causes a change in intensity over the light receiving fibers. The intensity is converted to a voltage signal by the photodetector circuit. Thus, the output voltage is related to the instantaneous pressure on the diaphragm.

Various diaphragm diameters, thicknesses, source-detector distances, and source-detector arrangements are explored in static and dynamic testing. A 0.3125 inch diameter, 2 mil thick, H19 aluminum diaphragm operating at a probe distance of one inch was found to be the optimum configuration for this system in con)unction with a Cadmium Sulfide photodetector. The fiber optic transducer was found to give a faster response and much higher output signal than a Statham strain gage transducer with which it was compared. Experimental results are presented and discussed along with a theoretical model. Emphasis is put on the preferential use of this type of transducer in hostile environments such as wind tunnel testing.

The theory of Migdal is studied and compared with other theoretical methods, particularly the Blankenbecler and Drell approach. By means of realistic computer simulations and using algorithms that emulate Migdal's theory, including also the so-called dielectric suppression, we study the behavior of the relevant observables in the case of ultra-high energy primaries. We find that the LPM effect can significantly modify the development of high energy electromagnetic showers in certain cases.

description: Maritime transport is the backbone of the global economy and the international trade system. However, greenhouse gases (GHG) and other emissions from vessels and related activities in maritime trade have caused significant environmental impacts especially global warming of the atmosphere. Consequently, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) concern significant care to the reduction of exhaust emissions and improvement of marine energy efficiency through operational and technical measures. Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI) is the main index that targets the implementation of IMO measures in order to reduce the CO2 emissions from the shipping sector and ensure an energy-efficient design for specific ships. The present thesis aims at evaluating the potential environmental and energy efficiency benefits of using one operational short term measure and another one of the technical long term measures. As a case study, Container Ship has been investigated. The proposed short term measure is ship speed reduction in which the ship speed is reduced below its designed value. Reducing ship speed by 12.6% will reduce CO2 emissions by about 36%. Also, the attained EEDI value will be improved by 31.7% and comply with not only the current IMO EEDI requirement but also with the future ones. On the other hand, the proposed long term measure is the utilization of Liquefied Natural Gas as the main fuel in a dual-fuel engine.The results of the analysis show that CO2, NOx and SOx emissions reduction percentage corresponding to using a dual-fuel engine operating by LNG instead of a diesel engine operating by Heavy Fuel Oil is about 30.1%, 81.44%, and 96.94%, respectively at the same load condition. Also, the attained EEDI value at the dual-fuel engine is lower than that at diesel engine by about 30% and this value will be 77.18%, 86.84% and 99.27% of the required EEDI for the first, second and third IMO phases, respectively.

description: Different BPS M-brane configurations including single and two parallel M$p$-branes ($p$= even) and M5-branes are introduced as the classical solutions of the recently proposed Static Matrix Model. Also the long range interactions of two relatively rotated M$p$-branes (one and two angles) and M$p$-brane--anti-M$p$-brane are calculated. The results are in agreement with 11 dimensional supergravity results.

description: Since early publications in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the finite volume method has been shown suitable for solid mechanics analyses. At present, there are several flavours of the method, which can be classified in a variety of ways, such as grid arrangement (cell-centred vs staggered vs vertex-centred), solution algorithm (implicit vs explicit), and stabilisation strategy (Rhie-Chow vs Jameson-Schmidt-Turkel vs Godunov upwinding). This article gives an overview, historical perspective, comparison and critical analysis of the different approaches where a close comparison with the de facto standard for computational solid mechanics, the finite element method, is given. The article finishes with a look towards future research directions and steps required for finite volume solid mechanics to achieve more widespread acceptance.

description: Careful discussions are made on some points which are met in studying B decay final state interactions, taking the $B^0\to π^+ K^-$ process as an example. We point out that $π$--exchange rescatterings are not important, whereas for $D^*$ and $D^{**}$ exchanges, since the $B^0\to D^+D_s^-$ decay has a large branching ratio their contributions may be large enough to enhance the $B\to πK$ branching ratio significantly. However our estimates fail to predict a large enhancement.
description: 5 pages, use elsart.sty; The previous version is erroneous in explaining the "charm peguin" effects. No large enhancement to $B\to \pi K$ is found through $D^+D_s^-$ intermediate state

description: Location data is among the most sensitive data regarding the privacy of the observed users. To collect location data, mobile phones and other mobile devices constantly track their positions. This work examines the question whether publicly available spatio-temporal user data can be used to link newly observed location data to known user profiles. For this study, publicly available location information about Twitter users is used to construct spatio-temporal user profiles describing a user's movement in space and time. It shows how to use these profiles to match a new location trace to their user with high accuracy. Furthermore, it shows how to link users of two different trace data sets. For this case study, 15,989 of the most prolific Twitter users in London in 2014 are considered. The experimental results show that the classification approach allows to correctly identify 98 % of the most prolific 500 of these users. Furthermore, it can correctly identify more than 50 % of any users by using three observations of these users, rather than their whole location trace. This alarming result shows that spatio-temporal data is highly discriminative, thus putting the privacy of hundreds of millions of geo-social network users at a risk. It further shows that it can correctly match most users of Instagram to users of Twitter.

description: We present a theoretical model of split-gate quantum wires that are fabricated from GaAs-AlGaAs heterostructures. The model is built on the physical properties of donors and of semiconductor surfaces, and considerations of equilibrium in such systems. Based on the features of this model, we have studied different ionization regimes of quantum wires, provided a method to evaluate the shallow donor density, and calculated the depletion and pinchoff voltages of quantum wires both before and after illumination. A real split-gate quantum wire has been taken as an example for the calculations, and the results calculated for it agree well with experimental measurements. This paper provides an analytic approach for obtaining much useful information about quantum wires, as well as a general theoretical tool for other gated nanostructure systems.

description: Animal hair examination at a criminal scene may provide valuable information in forensic investigations. However, local reference databases for animal hair identification are rare. In the present study, we provide differential histological analysis of hair of some domestic animals in Upper Egypt. For this purpose, guard hair of large ruminants (buffalo, camel and cow), small ruminants (sheep and goat), equine (horse and donkey) and canine (dog and cat) were collected and comparative analysis was performed by light microscopy. Based on the hair cuticle scale pattern, type and diameter of the medulla, and the pigmentation, characteristic differential features of each animal species were identified. The cuticle scale pattern was imbricate in all tested animals except in donkey, in which coronal scales were identified. The cuticle scale margin type, shape and the distance in between were characteristic for each animal species. The hair medulla was continuous in most of the tested animal species with the exception of sheep, in which fragmental medulla was detected. The diameter of the hair medulla and the margins differ according to the animal species. Hair shaft pigmentation were not detected in all tested animals with the exception of camel and buffalo, in which granules and streak-like pigmentation were detected. In conclusion, the present study provides a first-step towards preparation of a complete local reference database for animal hair identification that can be used in forensic investigations.

Epidemic spreading on time-varying multiplex networks

description: Social interactions are stratified in multiple contexts and are subject to complex temporal dynamics. The systematic study of these two features of social systems has started only very recently mainly thanks to the development of multiplex and time-varying networks. However, these two advancements have progressed almost in parallel with very little overlap. Thus, the interplay between multiplexity and the temporal nature of connectivity patterns is poorly understood. Here, we aim to tackle this limitation by introducing a time-varying model of multiplex networks. We are interested in characterizing how these two properties affect contagion processes. To this end, we study SIS epidemic models unfolding at comparable time-scale respect to the evolution of the multiplex network. We study both analytically and numerically the epidemic threshold as a function of the overlap between, and the features of, each layer. We found that, the overlap between layers significantly reduces the epidemic threshold especially when the temporal activation patterns of overlapping nodes are positively correlated. Furthermore, when the average connectivity across layers is very different, the contagion dynamics are driven by the features of the more densely connected layer. Here, the epidemic threshold is equivalent to that of a single layered graph and the impact of the disease, in the layer driving the contagion, is independent of the overlap. However, this is not the case in the other layers where the spreading dynamics are sharply influenced by it. The results presented provide another step towards the characterization of the properties of real networks and their effects on contagion phenomena

description: The IGEX Collaboration enriched 76Ge double-beta decay detectors are currently operating in the Canfranc Underground Laboratory with an overburden of 2450 m.w.e. A recent upgrade has made it possible to use them in a search for WIMPs. A new exclusion plot has been derived for WIMP-nucleon spin-independent interaction. To obtain this result, 30 days of data from one IGEX detector, which has an energy threshold of ~4 keV, have been considered. These data improve the exclusion limits derived from other germanium diode experiments in the ~50 GeV DAMA region, and show that with a moderate improvement of the background below 10 keV, the DAMA region may be tested with an additional 1 kg-year of exposure.
