description: Morphological analysis and identification of pathologies in the aorta are important for cardiovascular diagnosis and risk assessment in patients. Manual annotation is time-consuming and cumbersome in CT scans acquired without contrast enhancement and with low radiation dose. Hence, we propose an automatic method to segment the ascending aorta, the aortic arch and the thoracic descending aorta in low-dose chest CT without contrast enhancement. Segmentation was performed using a dilated convolutional neural network (CNN), with a receptive field of 131X131 voxels, that classified voxels in axial, coronal and sagittal image slices. To obtain a final segmentation, the obtained probabilities of the three planes were averaged per class, and voxels were subsequently assigned to the class with the highest class probability. Two-fold cross-validation experiments were performed where ten scans were used to train the network and another ten to evaluate the performance. Dice coefficients of 0.83, 0.86 and 0.88, and Average Symmetrical Surface Distances (ASSDs) of 2.44, 1.56 and 1.87 mm were obtained for the ascending aorta, the aortic arch, and the descending aorta, respectively. The results indicate that the proposed method could be used in large-scale studies analyzing the anatomical location of pathology and morphology of the thoracic aorta.

description: A magnetic model is proposed for describing the incommensurate I phase of spin-Peierls systems. Based on the harmonicity of the lattice distortion, its main ingredient is that the distortion of the lattice adjusts to the average magnetization such that the system is always gapful. The presence of dynamical incommensurabilities in the fluctuation spectra is also predicted. Recent experimental results for CuGeO_3 obtained by NMR, ESR and light scattering absorption are well understood within this model.

A Two-Layer Component-Based Allocation for Embedded Systems with GPUs

description: Component-based development is a software engineering paradigm that can facilitate the construction of embedded systems and tackle its complexities. The modern embedded systems have more and more demanding requirements. One way to cope with such versatile and growing set of requirements is to employ heterogeneous processing power, i.e., CPU-GPU architectures. The new CPU-GPU embedded boards deliver an increased performance but also introduce additional complexity and challenges. In this work, we address the component-to-hardware allocation for CPU-GPU embedded systems. The allocation for such systems is much complex due to the increased amount of GPU-related information. For example, while in traditional embedded systems the allocation mechanism may consider only the CPU memory usage of components to find an appropriate allocation scheme, in heterogeneous systems, the GPU memory usage needs also to be taken into account in the allocation process. This paper aims at decreasing the component-to-hardware allocation complexity by introducing a 2-layer component-based architecture for heterogeneous embedded systems. The detailed CPU-GPU information of the system is abstracted at a high-layer by compacting connected components into single units that behave as regular components. The allocator, based on the compacted information received from the high-level layer, computes, with a decreased complexity, feasible allocation schemes. In the last part of the paper, the 2-layer allocation method is evaluated using an existing embedded system demonstrator; namely, an underwater robot.

description: This thesis deals with the dynamic analysis of a multistory structure of reinforced concrete, which is separated by a seismic joint. Secondly, two more altered models, compared to the initial one, are being examined: a structure that does not have a seimic joint and a structure that is base isolated. Apart from these three models, an optimization algorithm is being developed, so as to find the optimum combination of lead rubber bearings and sliders. At the end, the three models are being compared and judged not only from technical view, but also by an economic view as well.
New universality of metal-insulator transition in integer quantum Hall effect system

description: A new universality of metal-insulator transition in integer quantum Hall effect (IQHE) system is studied based on a lattice model, where the IQHE states only exist within a finite range of Fermi energy in the presence of disorders. A two-parameter scaling law is found at the high-energy boundary where direct transitions from high IQHE states to insulator occur. We find $ρ_{xx}= ρ_{xy}$ at the critical point whose value can continuously vary as a single function of the Landau-level filling number $n_ν$. Such a new universality well explains recent experiment by Song et al. (Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 2200 (1997)).

description: A mathematically and physically sound three-degree-of-freedom dynamical model that emulates low- to high-confinement mode (L--H) transitions is elicited from a singularity theory critique of earlier fragile models. We construct a smooth map of the parameter space that is consistent both with the requirements of singularity theory and with the physics of the process. The model is found to contain two codimension 2 organizing centers and two Hopf bifurcations, which underlie dynamical behavior that has been observed around L-H transitions but not mirrored in previous models. The smooth traversal of parameter space provided by this analysis gives qualitative guidelines for controlling access to H-mode and oscillatory regimes.

description: Apple Wireless Direct Link (AWDL) is a proprietary and undocumented wireless ad hoc protocol that Apple introduced around 2014 and which is the base for applications such as AirDrop and AirPlay. We have reverse engineered the protocol and explain its frame format and operation in our MobiCom '18 paper "One Billion Apples' Secret Sauce: Recipe of the Apple Wireless Direct Link Ad hoc Protocol." AWDL builds on the IEEE 802.11 standard and implements election, synchronization, and channel hopping mechanisms on top of it. Furthermore, AWDL features an IPv6-based data path which enables direct communication. To validate our own work, we implement a working prototype of AWDL on Linux-based systems. Our implementation is written in C, runs in userspace, and makes use of Linux's Netlink API for interactions with the system's networking stack and the pcap library for frame injection and reception. In our demonstrator, we show how our Linux system synchronizes to an existing AWDL cluster or takes over the master role itself. Furthermore, it can receive data frames from and send them to a MacBook or iPhone via AWDL. We demonstrate the data exchange via ICMPv6 echo request and replies as well as sending and receiving data over a TCP connection.

description: We study a stochastic multiplicative process with reset events. It is shown that the model develops a stationary power-law probability distribution for the relevant variable, whose exponent depends on the model parameters. Two qualitatively different regimes are observed, corresponding to intermittent and regular behaviour. In the boundary between them, the mean value of the relevant variable is time-independent, and the exponent of the stationary distribution equals -2. The addition of diffusion to the system modifies in a non-trivial way the profile of the stationary distribution. Numerical and analytical results are presented.

description: Social media data are increasingly used by researchers to gain insights on individuals’ behaviors and opinions. Platforms like Twitter provide access to individuals’ postings, networks of friends and followers, and the content to which they are exposed. This article presents the methods and results of an exploratory study to supplement survey data with respondents’ Twitter postings, networks of Twitter friends and followers, and information to which they were exposed about e-cigarettes. Twitter use is important to consider in e-cigarette research and other topics influenced by online information sharing and exposure. Further, Twitter metadata provide direct measures of user’s friends and followers as opposed to survey self-reports. We find that Twitter metadata provide similar information to survey questions on Twitter network size without inducing recall error or other measurement issues. Using sentiment coding and machine learning methods, we find Twitter can elucidate on topics difficult to measure via surveys such as online expressed opinions and network composition. We present and discuss models predicting whether respondents’ tweet positively about e-cigarettes using survey and Twitter data, finding the combined data to provide broader measures than either source alone.

description: We propose UOLO, a novel framework for the simultaneous detection and segmentation of structures of interest in medical images. UOLO consists of an object segmentation module which intermediate abstract representations are processed and used as input for object detection. The resulting system is optimized simultaneously for detecting a class of objects and segmenting an optionally different class of structures. UOLO is trained on a set of bounding boxes enclosing the objects to detect, as well as pixel-wise segmentation information, when available. A new loss function is devised, taking into account whether a reference segmentation is accessible for each training image, in order to suitably backpropagate the error. We validate UOLO on the task of simultaneous optic disc (OD) detection, fovea detection, and OD segmentation from retinal images, achieving state-of-the-art performance on public datasets.

description: Circumstellar discs, from which planetary systems are formed, consist of gas, dust and solids. Simulations of self-consistent dynamics of gas, dust and solids in circumstellar discs is a challenging problem. In the paper we present fast algorithms for computing the drag force (momentum transfer) between solid phase and gas. These algorithms (a) are universal and applicable to dust and solids with any sizes smaller than the mean free path of gas molecules, (b) can be used to calculate the momentum transfer between dust and gas instead of one-way effect, as it is done in many models, (c) can perform simulations, without a loss in accuracy, with the time step determined by gas-dynamic parameters rather than by drag force, and (d) are compatible with the widely used parallel algorithms for solving 3D equations of gas dynamics, hydrodynamic equations for dust, and the collisionless Boltzmann equation for large bodies. Preliminary results of supercomputer simulation of the gas-dust disc dynamics within the developed approach are reported.

description: Conversational agents promise conversational interaction but fail to deliver. Efforts often emulate functional rules from human speech, without considering key characteristics that conversation must encapsulate. Given its potential in supporting long-term human-agent relationships, it is paramount that HCI focuses efforts on delivering this promise. We aim to understand what people value in conversation and how this should manifest in agents. Findings from a series of semi-structured interviews show people make a clear dichotomy between social and functional roles of conversation, emphasising the long-term dynamics of bond and trust along with the importance of context and relationship stage in the types of conversations they have. People fundamentally questioned the need for bond and common ground in agent communication, shifting to more utilitarian definitions of conversational qualities. Drawing on these findings we discuss key challenges for conversational agent design, most notably the need to redefine the design parameters for conversational agent interaction.

We show that larger values of $Ω_{c}$ resembling those seen in proteins are obtained in lattice models with side chains (LMSC). The enhanced cooperativity in LMSC is due to the possibility of denser packing of side chains in the interior of the model protein. We also establish that $Ω_{c}$ correlates extremely well with (σ= (T_θ -T_{f} )/T_θ), where (T_θ) and (T_{f}) are collapse and folding transition temperatures, respectively. These theoretical ideas are used to analyze folding transitions in various real proteins. The values of $Ω_{c}$ extracted from experiments show a correlation with $σ$. We conclude that the degree of cooperativity can be expressed in terms of the single parameter $σ$, which can be estimated from experimental data.

description: A fluid of domain walls has an effective equation of state $p_w = - {2/3}ρ_w$. This equation of state is qualitativelly in agreement with the supernova type Ia observations. We exploit a cosmological model where the matter content is given by a dust fluid and a domain wall fluid. The process of formation of galaxies is essentially preserved. On the other hand, the behaviour of the density contrast in the ordinary fluid is highly altered when domain walls begin to dominate the matter content of the Universe. This domain wall phase occurs at relative recent era, and its possible consequences are discussed, specially concerning the Sachs-Wolfe effect.

description: The laws of inheritance and succession (“Inheritance Law”) are both a
 product and means of social and economic change, as well as moral
 influence. An historical analysis of the law in England and Wales will
 assist to understand both the founding principles and development of
 Inheritance Law. By reference to case law and statute it will be possible
 to identify where Inheritance Law has failed to react and keep pace with
 social development and to assess how laws of the early nineteenth and
 twentieth centuries fit within twenty-first century society and property
 laws more broadly.

 “Bloodline Justice” is introduced as a theory of, and a lens through which
 to study, Inheritance Law. It is the theory that one can inherit or may
 have a right to inherit based on bloodline relationship to the deceased or
 because one sits within the circles of closeness to the same. It is
 utilised to analyse how moral and social theories have operated for and
 against the interests of the living and the dead, critically analysing key
 areas where there is scope for conflict. Testator control is a convenient
 way to arrange property transfer on death, but the capacity to challenge
 also necessary. Consideration will be given to the rationale and morality
 of allowing the dead testamentary freedom, as regard the distribution of
 wealth to the living and sometimes also the use of it, with reference to
 restrictions the law has attempted to place on that freedom.

 This thesis will therefore critically examine how Inheritance Law is
 influenced by wider historical, social and moral perceptions of what our
 laws in this area should be and for whom they should provide, from a
 starting point of bloodline justice. The main mechanisms to transfer
 property on death will be considered, and challenges to Inheritance Law
 and bloodline justice in the twenty-first century will be evaluated. It is
 recognised that whilst there is a pragmatic need in any system of law to
 enable property transfer on death, difficulties arise where an historic
 system of law coalesces with individual testamentary freedom in a rapidly
 changing environment. Current statutes are numerous and archaic, common
 law judgments varied, and the make-up of society and familial
 relationships so diversified since current Inheritance legislation was
 drafted that Inheritance Law is, at best, in need of holistic review and
 consolidation, if not reform.

description: Nowadays, analysing data from different classes or over a temporal grid has attracted a great deal of interest. As a result, various multiple graphical models for learning a collection of graphical models simultaneously have been derived by introducing sparsity in graphs and similarity across multiple graphs. This paper focuses on the fused multiple graphical Lasso model which encourages not only shared pattern of sparsity, but also shared values of edges across different graphs. For solving this model, we develop an efficient regularized proximal point algorithm, where the subproblem in each iteration of the algorithm is solved by a superlinearly convergent semismooth Newton method. To implement the semismooth Newton method, we derive an explicit expression for the generalized Jacobian of the proximal mapping of the fused multiple graphical Lasso regularizer. Unlike those widely used first order methods, our approach has heavily exploited the underlying second order information through the semismooth Newton method. This can not only accelerate the convergence of the algorithm, but also improve its robustness. The efficiency and robustness of our proposed algorithm are demonstrated by comparing with some state-of-the-art methods on both synthetic and real data sets.

description: In recent years, the distinctive advancement of handling huge data promotes the evolution of ubiquitous computing and analysis technologies. With the constantly upward system burden and computational complexity, adaptive coding has been a fascinating topic for pattern analysis, with outstanding performance. In this work, a continuous hashing method, termed continuous random hashing (CRH), is proposed to encode sequential data stream, while ignorance of previously hashing knowledge is possible. Instead, a random selection idea is adopted to adaptively approximate the differential encoding patterns of data stream, e.g., streaming media, and iteration is avoided for stepwise learning. Experimental results demonstrate our method is able to provide outstanding performance, as a benchmark approach to continuous hashing.

description: Motivated by the geometry of the materials Na_2 Ti_2 As_2 O and Na_2 Ti_2 Sb_2 O, we study a square-lattice Heisenberg antiferromagnet with spins located at the bond-centers. The largest exchange constant J couples neighboring spins in a given row or column. This leads to a mesh of isolated spin-chains running along the X and Y axes. A weaker exchange constant J' couples the nearest-neighbor spins on the lattice. Classically, J' fails to fix the relative spin orientation for different chains and hence the ground state is highly degenerate. Quantum order by disorder effect is studied by spin-wave theory and numerical methods. It is shown that a 4-sublattice order is favored by quantum fluctuations. However, several arguments are presented that suggest that the ground state of the system remains disordered, thus providing us with a paradigm for a two-dimensional spin-liquid.

description: The fluctuation-induced interaction between two rod-like, rigid inclusions in a fluid vesicle is studied by means of canonical ensemble Monte Carlo simulations. The vesicle membrane is represented by a triangulated network of hard spheres. Five rigidly connected hard spheres form rod-like inclusions that can leap between sites of the triangular network. Their effective interaction potential is computed as a function of mutual distance and angle of the inclusions. On account of the hard-core potential among these, the nature of the potential is purely entropic. Special precaution is taken to reduce lattice artifacts and the influence of finite-size effects due to the spherical geometry. Our results show that the effective potential is attractive and short-range compared with the rod length L. Its well depth is of the order of κ/10, where κis the bending modulus.

Fast Switch and Spline Scheme for Accurate Inversion of Nonlinear Functions: The New First Choice Solution to Kepler's Equation

description: Numerically obtaining the inverse of a function is a common task for many scientific problems, often solved using a Newton iteration method. Here we describe an alternative scheme, based on switching variables followed by spline interpolation, which can be applied to monotonic functions under very general conditions. To optimize the algorithm, we designed a specific ultra-fast spline routine. We also derive analytically the theoretical errors of the method and test it on examples that are of interest in physics. In particular, we compute the real branch of Lambert's $W(y)$ function, which is defined as the inverse of $x \exp(x)$, and we solve Kepler's equation. In all cases, our predictions for the theoretical errors are in excellent agreement with our numerical results, and are smaller than what could be expected from the general error analysis of spline interpolation by many orders of magnitude, namely by an astonishing $3\times 10^{-22}$ factor for the computation of $W$ in the range $W(y)\in [0,10]$, and by a factor $2\times 10^{-4}$ for Kepler's problem. In our tests, this scheme is much faster than Newton-Raphson method, by a factor in the range $10^{-4}$ to $10^{-3}$ for the execution time in the examples, when the values of the inverse function over an entire interval or for a large number of points are requested. For Kepler's equation and tolerance $10^{-6}$ rad, the algorithm outperforms Newton's method for all values of the number of points $N\ge 2$.

description: Numerical simulations on Ising Spin Glasses show that spin glass transitions do not obey the usual universality rules which hold at canonical second order transitions. On the other hand the dynamics at the approach to the transition appear to take up a universal form for all spin glasses. The implications for the fundamental physics of transitions in complex systems are addressed.

description: To enable functional skyrmion based spintronic devices, the controllable generation and manipulation of skyrmions is essential. While the generation of skyrmions by using a magnetic geometrical constriction has already been demonstrated, this approach is difficult to combine with a subsequent controlled manipulation of skyrmions. The high efficiency of skyrmion generation from magnetic constrictions limits the useful current density, resulting in stochastic skyrmion motion, which may obscure topological phenomena such as the skyrmion Hall effect. In order to address this issue, we designed a nonmagnetic conducting Ti/Au point contact in devices made of Ta/CoFeB/TaOx trilayer films. By applying high voltage pulses, we experimentally demonstrated that skyrmions can be dynamically generated. Moreover, the accompanied spin topology dependent skyrmion dynamics, the skyrmion Hall effect is also experimentally observed in the same devices. The creation process has been numerically reproduced through micromagnetic simulations in which the important role of skyrmion-antiskyrmion pair generation is identified. The motion and Hall effect of the skyrmions, immediately after their creation is described using a modified Thiele equation after taking into account the contribution from spatially inhomogeneous spin-orbit torques and the Magnus force. The simultaneous generation and manipulation of skyrmions using a nonmagnetic point contact could provide a useful pathway for designing novel skyrmion based devices.

description: We report observations of the linear polarization of the WASP-18 system, which harbors a very massive ( approx 10 M_J) planet orbiting very close to its star with an orbital period of 0.94 days. We find the WASP-18 system is polarized at about 200 parts-per-million (ppm), likely from the interstellar medium predominantly, with no strong evidence for phase dependent modulation from reflected light from the planet. We set an upper limit of 40 ppm (99% confidence level) on the amplitude of a reflected polarized light planetary signal. We compare the results with models for a number of processes that may produce polarized light in a planetary system to determine if we can rule out any phenomena with this limit. Models of reflected light from thick clouds can approach or exceed this limit, but such clouds are unlikely at the high temperature of the WASP-18b atmosphere. Additionally, we model the expected polarization resulting from the transit of the planet across the star and find this has an amplitude of about 1.6 ppm, which is well below our detection limits. We also model the polarization due to the tidal distortion of the star by the massive planet and find this is also too small to be measured currently.

description: Tuberculosis (TB) causes more deaths than any other single infectious disease, and a new, improved vaccine is needed to control the epidemic. Many new TB vaccine candidates are in clinical development, but only one or two can be advanced to expensive efficacy trials. In this study, we compared magnitude and functional attributes of memory T cell responses induced in recently conducted clinical trials by six TB vaccine candidates, as well as BCG.
The results suggest that these vaccines induced CD4 and CD8 T cellresponses with similar functional attributes, but that one vaccine, M72/AS01 E , induced the largest responses. This finding may indicate a lack of diversity in T cell responses induced by different TB vaccine candidates. A repertoire of vaccine candidates that induces more diverse immune response characteristics may increase the chances of finding a protective vaccine against TB.
