title: A digital learning system for tracking pattern features.
Creators: name: Reeves, A. P.
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: A novel pattern processing scheme has been investigated which makes use of the motions generated by a window which tracks the lines or contours of a digitised television image of a black/white pattern. The novel features of the proposed scheme are that adaptive learning networks are used for both tracking and classifying. The tracking strategy is learnt from a human teacher. Here one combines two methods of machine pattern recognition which, in isolation, have a limited performance. These are, 'static learning networks' which have known limitations, and 'programmed tracking systems' in which the pre-programming itself may be limiting. In this combination one avoids some limitations of these systems because pre-programming of strategies is not necessary and feedback exists to make the task of the nets a dynamic one. The thesis describes a hardware visual input and a special-purpose software system which were developed for this investigation. Also, several new modifications of the SLAM (Stored Logic Adaptive Microcircuit) element are discussed. Beyond its practical application it is possible to conclude that the system developed here may be useful in the study of hypotheses regarding living animal systems which involve eye movements.

description: Recently, the existence of a candidate a-function for renormalisable theories in three dimensions was demonstrated for a general theory at leading order and for a scalar-fermion theory at next-to-leading order. Here we extend this work by constructing the a-function at next-to-leading order for an N=2 supersymmetric Chern-Simons theory. This increase in precision for the a-function necessitated the evaluation of the underlying renormalization-group functions at four loops.

Resolving flows around black holes: the impact of gas angular momentum

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: Cosmological simulations almost invariably estimate the accretion of gas on to supermassive black holes using a Bondi-Hoyle-like prescription. Doing so ignores the effects of the angular momentum of the gas, which may prevent or significantly delay accreting material falling directly on to the black hole. We outline a black hole accretion rate prescription using a modified Bondi-Hoyle formulation that takes into account the angular momentum of the surrounding gas. Meaningful implementation of this modified Bondi-Hoyle formulation is only possible when the inner vorticity distribution is well resolved, which we achieve through the use of a super-Lagrangian refinement technique around black holes within our simulations. We then investigate the effects on black hole growth by performing simulations of isolated as well as merging disc galaxies using the moving-mesh code AREPO. We find that the gas angular momentum barrier can play an important role in limiting the growth of black holes, leading also to a several Gyr delay between the starburst and the quasar phase in major merger remnants. We stress, however, that the magnitude of this effect is highly sensitive to the thermodynamical state of the accreting gas and to the nature of the black hole feedback present.

description: In some parts of Tanzania, there are higher fluoride concentrations in water bodies that affect public health. This work reports on water defluoridation using bio-sorbents prepared from Adansonia digitata fruit pericarp which is an agricultural waste. The raw and surface modified Adansonia digitata fruit pericarps were prepared, characterized, and used for defluoridation of the aqueous solution. The surface-modified adsorbent has better physical and chemical characteristics for bio-sorption. FT-IR spectra of adsorbents revealed that carboxyl, hydroxyls, carbonyls, and halogen groups are present on the adsorbent. The maximum removal efficiencies of raw and surface-modified bio-sorbents were 67.61 and 91.91% respectively which means surface modified bio-sorbent is effective for the removal of fluoride. Maximum adsorption efficiency was achieved with an initial concentration of 27.50 mg/L, the final concentrations of fluoride after adsorption were 8.907 and 2.225 mg/L for RADFP and SMADFP respectively. The adsorption capacity, q0 of RADFP and SMADFP are 0.2475 and 0.3173 mg/g, respectively. The values adsorption intensity, n is 1.3988 for RADFP and 1.1714 for SMADFP which lies between 1 and 10 indicating a favorable adsorption process. The adsorption data fitted well with the Freundlich adsorption model and Pseudo second order kinetics. Therefore, the surface-modified Adansonia digitata fruit pericarp is a potential bio-sorbent for the removal of fluoride ions from water.

description: Aiming to fill in current research gaps on our knowledge about the employment of academics in higher education, the presentation contains the first results of an ongoing research identifying national convergences and path-dependencies in academic employment. The researcher begin presenting the dataset, created through the standardization of academic ranks of the higher education databases of 13 European countries and the US which we then merged with ETER. Then, the researcher present the changing composition of academic staff over time. The study distinguishes countries having an increasing proportion of junior staff from those with a more stable participation of senior positions. The study indicates that universities offer fewer senior positions than universities of applied sciences and theorizes about the encountered trends. Finally, a future agenda for the contemporary study of working conditions is proposed.

description: L’intelligence artificielle est souvent assimilée aux seuls modèles d’apprentissage automatique (machine/deep learning). Il s’agit pourtant d’un champ disciplinaire plus riche proposant un panel de méthodes variées capables de répondre à de nombreuses problématiques. Parmi ces méthodes, les modèles Agent (ABM) sont particulièrement intéressants, notamment pour la modélisation et la simulation des systèmes sociaux et sociaux-techniques. Ils permettent, au travers d’une modélisation et une simulation explicite et naturelle des entités constitutives des systèmes et de leurs interactions de faciliter la compréhension du système et de l’explorer. C’est ainsi un outil particulièrement adapté aux approches de modélisation et de simulation participatives. Nous proposons dans cet article de présenter ce type de modèle issu de l’IA, en revenant sur ses principes, ses forces et faiblesses. Nous présenterons ensuite trois applications aux domaines du génie civil : SMACC (simulation de projet de construction), Li-BIM (modélisation des comportements des occupants d’un bâtiment) et MANA-Flo (sensibilisation à la gestion du risque inondation).

Slow relaxation and sensitivity to disorder in trapped lattice fermions after a quench

description: We consider a system of non-interacting fermions in one dimension subject to a single-particle potential consisting of (a) a strong optical lattice, (b) a harmonic trap, and (c) uncorrelated on-site disorder. After a quench, in which the center of the harmonic trap is displaced, we study the occupation function of the fermions and the time-evolution of experimental observables. Specifically, we present numerical and analytical results for the post-quench occupation function of the fermions, and analyse the time-evolution of the real-space density profile. Unsurprisingly for a non-interacting (and therefore integrable) system, the infinite-time limit of the density profile is non-thermal. However, due to Bragg-localization of the higher-energy single-particle states, the approach to even this non-thermal state is extremely slow. We quantify this statement, and show that it implies a sensitivity to disorder parametrically stronger than that expected from Anderson localization.

Molecular characterization of Glucose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase deficiency specific variants Among Selected populations in Malaria Endemic areas of Ethiopia
Creators: name: Getachew, Abebe
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2015

description: Background: Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency (G6PDd) is an X-linked hereditary genetic defect, affects an estimated 400 million people worldwide. Severe clinical manifestation associated with G6PDd (e.g., chronic hemolytic anemia) depends on the type of G6PD molecular variants and exposure to hemolytic triggers (e.g., antimalarial like Primaquine). However, scarce studies on G6PDd renders the use of Primaquine for effective therapeutic treatment of malaria. Objective: To determine the availability and characterize selected molecular variants of G6PDd specific genes among selected populations in malaria endemic area of Ethiopia. Method: A cross sectional study was conducted among selected populations in malaria endemic areas of Ethiopia from July 30, 2014 to January 30, 2015. A total of 523 dried blood spot samples were randomly selected from stored samples of national malaria indicator survey of 2011. Polymerase chain reaction and restricted fragment length polymorphism technique was applied to characterize G6PDd variants as G6PD*A, G6PD*A- and/or G6PD*Mediterranean. Binary logistic regression was applied to see association (P<0.05 is significant) among different parameters. Result: Of 523 studied dried blood spot samples, 514 (98.28%) had G6PD genotype available, among which G6PDd were detected on 46 (9.0%) samples. G6PD*A (100%) was the only genotype characterized, while neither G6PD*A- nor G6PD*Mediterranean genotypes were detected. Of all 46 (9.0%) G6PD*A mutation, 25 (4.9%) were male hemizygous, 4 (0.8%) were homozygous females and 17 (3.3%) were heterozygous females. The result also showed G6PDd prevalence variation among regions with 12.06% in Southern Nations Nationalities Peoples, 10.62% in Tigray, 8.51% in Somali, 6.41% in Amhara and 5.26% in Afar. However; there was no statistical significant difference between G6PDd and regions (P>0.05). Conclusion: G6PD*A variant was the only G6PDd genotype detected in this study. G6PD*A variant has almost (90%) the same enzymatic activities with the wild type. Therefore; this result supports the safe use of primaquine, especially the single low dose for transmission interruption of Plasmodium falciparum gametocyte and radical cure of Plasmodium vivax, as a part of malaria elimination toolkit, among selected populations in malaria endemic areas of Ethiopia.

description: Ever since Schrodinger, Time in quantum theory is postulated Newtonian for every reference frame. With the help of certain known mathematical results, we show that the concept of the so-called Local Time allows avoiding the postulate. In effect, time appears as neither fundamental nor universal on the quantum-mechanical level while being consistently attributable to every, at least approximately, closed quantum system as well as to every of its (conservative or not) subsystems.

description: “Pitanga” leaf hydroethanolic extract (PLHE) presents high antioxidant and antimicrobial activities. The encapsulation of this extract in W/O/W double emulsions could protect its bioactive properties. The objective of this research was to encapsulate PLHE in the inner W phase of a double emulsion and analyze the emulsifiers concentrations and phase ratios effects on its droplet size and the physical stability. Moreover, the double emulsion rheological behavior, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities in their more stable formulation was investigated. For comparison purpose, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of the PLHE was also determined. Overall, the droplet size and stability were affected by the concentration of emulsifiers and phase ratios. The double emulsion presented heterogeneous droplet size, good physical stability and non-Newtonian behavior. PLHE presented high antioxidant and antimicrobial activities, which was maintained after processing to encapsulation into double emulsion. In conclusion, it was possible to produce active and stable double emulsion loaded with PLHE.
The semi-parametric Bernstein-von Mises theorem for regression models with symmetric errors

description: In a smooth semi-parametric model, the marginal posterior distribution for a finite dimensional parameter of interest is expected to be asymptotically equivalent to the sampling distribution of any efficient point-estimator. The assertion leads to asymptotic equivalence of credible and confidence sets for the parameter of interest and is known as the semi-parametric Bernstein-von Mises theorem. In recent years, it has received much attention and has been applied in many examples. We consider models in which errors with symmetric densities play a role; more specifically, it is shown that the marginal posterior distributions of regression coefficients in the linear regression and linear mixed effect models satisfy the semi-parametric Bernstein-von Mises assertion. As a consequence, Bayes estimators in these models achieve frequentist inferential optimality, as expressed e.g. through Hajek's convolution and asymptotic minimax theorems. Conditions for the prior on the space of error densities are relatively mild and well-known constructions like the Dirichlet process mixture of normal densities and random series priors constitute valid choices. Particularly, the result provides an efficient estimate of regression coefficients in the linear mixed effect model, for which no other efficient point-estimator was known previously.

description: We derive a Laurent series expansion for the structure coefficients appearing in the dual basis corresponding to the Kauffman diagram basis of the Temperley-Lieb algebra $\text{TL}_k(d)$, converging for all complex loop parameters $d$ with $|d| > 2\cos\big(\fracπ{k+1}\big)$. In particular, this yields a new formula for the structure coefficients of the Jones-Wenzl projection in $\text{TL}_k(d)$. The coefficients appearing in each Laurent expansion are shown to have a natural combinatorial interpretation in terms of a certain graph structure we place on non-crossing pairings, and these coefficients turn out to have the remarkable property that they either always positive integers or always negative integers. As an application, we answer affirmatively a question of Vaughan Jones, asking whether every Temperley-Lieb diagram appears with non-zero coefficient in the expansion of each dual basis element in $\text{TL}_k(d)$ (when $d \in \mathbb R \backslash [-2\cos\big(\fracπ{k+1}\big),2\cos\big(\fracπ{k+1}\big)]$). Specializing to Jones-Wenzl projections, this result gives a new proof of a result of Ocneanu, stating that every Temperley-Lieb diagram appears with non-zero coefficient in a Jones-Wenzl projection. Our methods establish a connection with the Weingarten calculus on free quantum groups, and yield as a byproduct improved asymptotics for the free orthogonal Weingarten function.
Evaluation of the Diagnostic Performance of Genotype MTBDRplus VER 2.0 Line Probe Assay for the Detection of Multidrug Resistance TB (MDR-TB) in Sputum Samples Referred to National TB Reference Laboratory, Ethiopian Public Health Institute
Creators: name: Meaza, Abyot

description: Background: - Accurate and rapid detection of multi drug resistance Tuberculois(MDR-TB) is critical. Evaluating Genotype MTBDRplus VER 2.0 offer opportunity to scale up drug susceptibility testing (DST) capacity in Ethiopia. Objective: - The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of Genotype MTBDRplus VER 2.0 for the detection of MDR-TB in sputum samples referred to National TB Reference Laboratory (NTRL) at Ethiopian Public Health Institute (EPHI). Method and Design: - A cross sectional study was conducted from April to August, 2015 on presumptive MDR-TB patients. Analysis of 72 smear positive and 197 smear negative sputum samples was done with Genotype MTBDRplus VER 2.0 assay and compared with the reference, MGIT 960 culture and DST. Sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of the assay was calculated, comparing the results with the reference method and results was interpreted based on 95% confidence interval, statistical significant was taken at p-value <0.05. Result: - The sensitivity, specificity, PPV and NPV of Genotype MTBDRplus VER 2.0 assay were 96.4, 100, 100 and 96.9%, respectively for the detection of MDR-TB from direct smear positive sputum samples. Only 14(54%) samples had valid results with LPA among the 26 smear negative culture positive samples. The sensitivity and specificity of Genotype MTBDRplus VER 2.0 assay was 100% for the detection of MDR-TB among 14 direct smear negative and culture positive sputum samples. The most common mutations associated with RMP and INH resistance was S531L and S315TL, respectively. A single rare mutation (C15T/A16G) was also detected in this study. Conclusion and Recommendation: - The diagnostic performance of Genotype MTBDRplus VER 2.0 assay in direct smear positive sputum sample was highly sensitive and specific for early detection of MDR-TB. However, the diagnostic performance of Genotype MTBDRplus VER 2.0 assay in direct smear negative sputum sample was low and showed high level of invalid results so it is unlikely to implement Genotype MTBDRplus VER 2.0 assay for the detection of MDR-TB in direct smear negative sample in our routine settings. Key words:- performance, Genotype MTBDRplus VER 2.0, MDR-TB

description: We study the subgap spectrum of the interacting single-level quantum dot coupled between two superconducting reservoirs, forming the Josephson-type circuit, and additionally hybridized with a metallic normal lead. This system allows for the phase-tunable interplay between the correlation effects and the proximity-induced electron pairing resulting in the singlet-doublet (0-$π$) crossover and the phase-dependent Kondo effect. We investigate the spectral function, induced local pairing, Josephson supercurrent, and Andreev conductance in a wide range of system parameters by the numerically exact Numerical Renormalization Group and Quantum Monte Carlo calculations along with perturbative treatments in terms of the Coulomb repulsion and the hybridization term. Our results address especially the correlation effects reflected in dependencies of various quantities on the local Coulomb interaction strength as well as on the coupling to the normal lead. We quantitatively establish the phase-dependent Kondo temperature $\log T_{K}(ϕ)\propto\cos^{2}(ϕ/2)$ and show that it can be read off from the half-width of the zero-bias enhancement in the Andreev conductance in the doublet phase, which can be experimentally measured by the tunneling spectroscopy.

description: Le comportement des bétons autoplaçants à l'état frais pour les ciments traditionnels est un phénomène complexe. Avec l'évolution des contraintes écologiques, la fabrication des bétons à faible teneur en clinker est devenue primordiale, ce qui modifie leur comportement rhéologique. Dans cette étude, quatre modèles d'apprentissage automatique ont été utilisés pour classifier les bétons en se basant sur les diamètres d'étalement. Les données utilisées comprenaient 1571 observations, principalement des bétons autoplaçants contenant des ajouts tels que le laitier et les cendres volantes. Les modèles ont donné des résultats satisfaisants. Les meilleurs modèles sont « RandomForest » et « XGBoost » obtenant des F1-scores de 65% et 64% respectivement. Eau/Liant et la quantité de gravier sont les facteurs les plus influents sur l'étalement déterminé par l'outil "Shapley Additive Explanations" (SHAP).

Afin d’accroitre l’utilisation de ces matériaux aussi bien dans le secteur des TP que dans la fabrication de béton, il est nécessaire d’être en mesure de garantir la qualité des granulats. Nous proposons ici une nouvelle architecture de réseau de neurones permettant l’automatisation du processus de caractérisation des granulats recyclés. Le prototype développé permet de déterminer la composition massique ainsi que la granulométrie et éventuellement d’autres paramètres morphologiques à partir d’images 2D d’un flux de granulats. Les résultats obtenus montrent que cette approche peut remplacer avantageusement les essais de granulométrie et de tri manuel préconisés par les normes actuelles. Le réseau de neurones permet en effet d’estimer la masse de chaque type de granulat avec une erreur de l’ordre de 2%.

description: In this work, we compare the performance of plasmonic waveguide integrated stub resonators based on 2D metal-dielectric-metal and 3D slot waveguide (SWG) geometries. We show that scattering matrix theory can be extended to 3D devices, and by employing scattering matrix theory, we provide the guidelines for designing plasmonic 2D and 3D single-stub and double-stub resonators with a desired spectral response at the design wavelength. We provide transmission maps of 2D and 3D double-stub resonators versus stub lengths, and we specify the different regions on these maps that result in a minimum, a maximum, or a plasmonically induced transparency shape in the transmission spectrum. Radiation loss from waveguide terminations leads to a degradation of the 3D SWG-based resonators. We illustrate improved waveguide terminations that boost resonator properties. We verify our results with 3D finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations.

description: Les méthodes issues de l’intelligence artificielle connaissent un essor exponentiel dans la résolution de problèmes d’ingénierie. Dans l’histoire de la science, l’usage de ces méthodes reste relativement récent pour en tirer toutes les conclusions. Néanmoins sur des cas pratiques, ces méthodes montrent un intérêt croissant pour : la facilité d’utilisation, la capacité d’adaptation en prenant en compte les connaissances récentes, la capacité de résolution des problèmes complexes pour lesquelles une modélisation rigoureuse avec des modèles déterministes est très compliquée à réaliser. Dans cet article, l’objectif principal est de dresser une revue des méthodes issues de l’intelligence artificielle utilisées dans le domaine de l’ingénierie. La force de ces méthodes seront illustrées sur quelques cas pratiques en lien avec le domaine de formulation des matériaux de construction. L’article se terminera en proposant quelques pistes de développement.

description: Background:In Pregnancy, the hematological system undergoes changes in order to meet the demands of the developing fetus and placenta, with major alterations in blood volume. Hemodilution during pregnancy contribute to majority of these changes.Although physiological Therefore, the pregnant women screening should include hematological parameters other than Hb determination alone to avoid adverse outcomes. Key words: Pregnant women,Hematologicalprofile,anemia, thrombocytopenia in nature, but abnormal hematological profile affect pregnancy and its outcome. Anemia is the most common hematological problem in pregnancy, followed by thrombocytopenia. Objective:To assess hematological profiles of pregnant women at St. Paul"s Hospital Millennium Medical College. Method:A cross sectional study was conducted on 284 pregnant women to assess hematological profiles of pregnant women at St. Paul"s Hospital Millennium Medical College from June to August 2014. A pre-tested Structured and interviewer administered questionnaire was used to collect socio demographic data and venous blood was used to perform CBC and peripheral blood film. CBC was done using automated hematological analyzer Cell Dyn 1800. Data was analyzed using SPSS version 16.0statistical software. Dependent variable frequencies, mean, standard deviation and range were calculated. P values <0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Result: The prevalence rates of anemia and thrombocytopenia were 11.62% and 7.7 %, respectively and were dominantly of mild type. The anemic pregnant women had microcytic hypochromic (51.5 %), normocytic hypochromic (27.3%), normocytic normochromic (18.2%), and dimorphic (3%). Gestational age (trimester), second and third trimesters compared to those in first trimester and those whodid not take iron folic/acid supplementation compared to those taking supplementation, were more likely to be anemic. The prevalence of thrombocytopenia was 4.2%, 6.1% and 9.4% at first, second and third trimester pregnant women, respectively. Conclusion:The prevalence of anemia and thrombocytopenia was 11.62% and 7.7 %, respectively and were dominantly of mild type. The commonest type of anemia was microcytic- hypochromic and normocytic- hypochromic, which are mostly characteristic features of iron deficiency anemia. Thrombocytopenia where higher in pregnant women at third trimester.

description: We study the neutrino flavor evolution in the neutrino-driven wind from a binary neutron star merger remnant consisting of a massive neutron star surrounded by an accretion disk. With the neutrino emission characteristics and the hydrodynamical profile of the remnant consistently extracted from a three-dimensional simulation, we compute the flavor evolution by taking into account neutrino coherent forward scattering off ordinary matter and neutrinos themselves. We employ a "single-trajectory" approach to investigate the dependence of the flavor evolution on the neutrino emission location and angle. We also show that the flavor conversion in the merger remnant can affect the (anti-)neutrino absorption rates on free nucleons and may thus impact the $r$-process nucleosynthesis in the wind. We discuss the sensitivity of such results on the change of neutrino emission characteristics, also from different neutron star merger simulations.
