Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)

description: This paper introduces the use of single layer and deep convolutional networks for remote sensing data analysis. Direct application to multi- and hyper-spectral imagery of supervised (shallow or deep) convolutional networks is very challenging given the high input data dimensionality and the relatively small amount of available labeled data. Therefore, we propose the use of greedy layer-wise unsupervised pre-training coupled with a highly efficient algorithm for unsupervised learning of sparse features. The algorithm is rooted on sparse representations and enforces both population and lifetime sparsity of the extracted features, simultaneously. We successfully illustrate the expressive power of the extracted representations in several scenarios: classification of aerial scenes, as well as land-use classification in very high resolution (VHR), or land-cover classification from multi- and hyper-spectral images. The proposed algorithm clearly outperforms standard Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and its kernel counterpart (kPCA), as well as current state-of-the-art algorithms of aerial classification, while being extremely computationally efficient at learning representations of data. Results show that single layer convolutional networks can extract powerful discriminative features only when the receptive field accounts for neighboring pixels, and are preferred when the classification requires high resolution and detailed results. However, deep architectures significantly outperform single layers variants, capturing increasing levels of abstraction and complexity throughout the feature hierarchy.

description: A method is discussed to analyze the dynamics of a dissipative quantum system. The method hinges upon the definition of an alternative (time-dependent) product among the observables of the system. In the long time limit this yields a contracted algebra. This contraction irreversibly affects some of the quantum features of the dissipative system.

description: Photofission of actinides is studied in the region of nuclear excitation energies that covers the entire giant dipole resonance (GDR) region. The mass distributions of $^{238}$U photofission fragments have been explored theoretically for eight different endpoint bremsstrahlung energies from 11.5 MeV to 67.7 MeV which correspond to average photon energy of 9.09 MeV to 15.90 MeV. Among these energies, the 29.1 MeV corresponds to the average photon energy of 13.7$\pm$0.3 MeV which coincides with GDR peak for $^{238}$U photofission. The integrated yield of $^{238}$U photofission as well as charge distribution of photofission products are calculated and its role in producing nuclei and their neutron-richness is investigated.

description: I have performed an experiment which is a variant of the one suggested recently by F. O. Minotti and T. E. Raptis. The aim of this experiment is to check the generation of a pulsed gravitational potential by a transient magnetic field as predicted by a scalar tensor theory of gravity. Such a scalar tensor theory allows an enhanced coupling of its fundamental long-range real scalar field as well as its external scalar field to the electromagnetic field, according to the author's previous papers. Several possible sources that could mimic the predicted effect have been ruled out. Finally, it seems likely that the predicted effect is there with the right order of magnitude, as expected.

Max-Cut under Graph Constraints

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Data Structures and Algorithms (cs.DS)

description: An instance of the graph-constrained max-cut (GCMC) problem consists of (i) an undirected graph G and (ii) edge-weights on a complete undirected graph on the same vertex set. The objective is to find a subset of vertices satisfying some graph-based constraint in G that maximizes the total weight of edges in the cut. The types of graph constraints we can handle include independent set, vertex cover, dominating set and connectivity. Our main results are for the case when G is a graph with bounded treewidth, where we obtain a 0.5-approximation algorithm. Our algorithm uses an LP relaxation based on the Sherali-Adams hierarchy. It can handle any graph constraint for which there is a (certain type of) dynamic program that exactly optimizes linear objectives. Using known decomposition results, these imply essentially the same approximation ratio for GCMC under constraints such as independent set, dominating set and connectivity on a planar graph G (more generally for bounded-genus or excluded-minor graphs).
Biological Modification of Titanium Surfaces Using Bifunctional Peptides

Year: 2007

description: The clinical success of endosseous implants is associated with the formation and maintenance of bone at implant surfaces. Based on in vivo observations, several generalizations have been derived regarding the nature of the interface. Most prominently, initial cell and molecular adhesion dictate the reactivity of the interface. The aim of this project is to use interfacial biomaterials (Ti-binding peptides) to graft cell adhesive peptides to titanium surfaces used for osseointegrated endosseous implants. We hypothesized that there is statistical significant difference in the differentiation of cells adherent with Ti-binding peptide treated and untreated on titanium surfaces. We used the peptide (AFF6008) can facilitate the adhesion of biologically active peptides to the titanium surface. Scanning electron microscopy was used to quantify cell adhesion on treated and untreated surfaces. Real time polymerase chain reaction was used to measure and compare osteoblast-specific gene expression, ALP and BSP, associated with osteoblastic differentiation in cells cultured on treated and untreated surfaces.

An Analysis of Current Practices for NCAA Division I-FBS Student-Athlete Exit Interviews
Creators: name: Iannotta, Stephen
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Graduate School
Year: 2015
Subjects: Sports administration

description: On January 10, 1991, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) adopted a bylaw (6.3.2) to its constitution, making it mandatory for member institutions to conduct exit interviews with their student-athletes. The wording of the bylaw allows schools a great deal of freedom to choose how they conduct their interviews, who is a part of the interview process, and what topics are being discussed in the interview itself. This lack of guidance and direction in the bylaw has led to a wide array of methods used by schools to conduct exit interviews. This study analyzes the current methods being used by NCAA Division I-FBS athletic programs to conduct student-athlete exit interviews. A survey of twenty-six Division I-FBS athletic administrators responsible for exit interview oversight revealed that while methods for conducting student-athlete exit interviews, the content being discussed is very similar. The results of the survey serve as a bridge to literature regarding the student-athlete experience and exit interview practices in professional settings.

description: The effects of short range disorder on the polarisation characteristics of light in photonic crystal waveguides were investigated using finite difference time domain simulations with a view to investigating the stability of polarisation singularities. It was found that points of local circular polarisation (C-points) and contours of linear polarisation (L-lines) continued to appear even in the presence of high levels of disorder, and that they remained close to their positions in the ordered crystal. These results are a promising indication that devices exploiting polarisation in these structures are viable given current fabrication standards.

Communicating Data Visually: Data Presentation Formats at U.S. Food and Drug Administration Drug Advisory Committee Meetings
Creators: name: Smith, Lesley M.

Year: 2011

description: This thesis investigated the use of tables and graphs to present quantitative data at U.S. FDA drug advisory committee meetings. A total of 7, 422 slides presented at such meetings in 2010 comprised the sample. All slides were coded for slide type; slides displaying graphs were also coded for graph type. Analyses were conducted to determine differences in data presentation format between the FDA and drug sponsors, slides shown to different types of advisory committees, and slides shown at meetings held for different purposes. The study found that tables and graphs are used in almost equal measure at drug advisory committee meetings. However, the FDA is more likely than drug sponsors to display data in tables versus graphs. The study also found that the most prevalent graph formats are bar graphs, forest plots, line graphs, and Kaplan-Meier curves. Only one slide, shown by a drug sponsor, displayed a pictograph.

description: The pseudogap is a central puzzle of cuprate superconductors. Its connection to the Mott insulator at low doping $p$ remains ambiguous and its relation to the charge order that reconstructs the Fermi surface at intermediate $p$ is still unclear. Here we use measurements of the Hall coefficient in magnetic fields up to 88 T to show that Fermi-surface reconstruction by charge order in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_y$ ends sharply at a critical doping $p = 0.16$, distinctly lower than the pseudogap critical point at $p^* = 0.19$. This shows that pseudogap and charge order are separate phenomena. We then find that the change of carrier density from $n = 1 + p$ in the conventional metal at high p to $n = p$ at low $p$ - a signature of the lightly doped cuprates - starts at $p^*$. This shows that pseudogap and antiferromagnetic Mott insulator are linked.

Non percolative nature of the metal-insulator transition and persistence of local Jahn-Teller distortions in the rhombohedral regime of La$_{1-x}$Ca$_{x}$MnO$_{3}$

description: Evolution of the average and local crystal structure of Ca-doped LaMnO$_{3}$ has been studied across the metal to insulator (MI) and the orthorhombic to rhombohedral (OR) structural phase transitions over a broad temperature range for two Ca concentrations ($x = 0.18; 0.22$). Combined Rietveld and high real space resolution atomic pair distribution function (PDF) analysis of neutron total scattering data was carried out with aims of exploring the possibility of nanoscale phase separation (PS) in relation to MI transition, and charting the evolution of local Jahn-Teller (JT) distortion of MnO$_{6}$ octahedra across the OR transition at T$_{S}$ $\sim$ 720 K. The study utilized explicit two-phase PDF structural modeling, revealing that away from TMI there is no evidence for nanoscale phase coexistence. The local JT-distortions disappear abruptly upon crossing into the metallic regime both with doping and temperature, with only small temperature-independent signature of quenched disorder being observable at low temperature as compared to CaMnO$_{3}$. The results hence do not support the percolative scenario for the MI transition in La$_{1-x}$Ca$_{x}$MnO$_{3}$ based on PS, and question its ubiquity in the manganites. In contrast to LaMnO3 that exhibits long range orbital correlations and sizeable octahedral distortions at low temperature, the doped samples with compositions straddling the MI boundary exhibit correlations (in the insulating regime) limited to only $\sim$ 1 nm with observably smaller distortions. In $x = 0.22$ sample local JT-distortions are found to persist across the OR transition and deep into the R-phase (up to $\sim$ 1050 K) where they are crystallographically prohibited. Their magnitude and subnanometer spatial extent remain unchanged.

description: Regular works on energy efficiency strategies for wireless communications are based on classical energy models that account for the wireless card only. Nevertheless, there is a non-negligible energy toll called "cross-factor" that encompasses the energy drained while a frame crosses the network stack of an OS. This paper addresses the challenge of deepen into the roots of the cross-factor, deseed its components and analyse its causes. Energy issues are critical for IoT devices. Thus, this paper conceives and validates a new comprehensive framework that enables us to measure a wide range of wireless devices, as well as multiple devices synchronously. We also present a rigorous methodology to perform whole-device energy measurements in laptops, a more generic and suitable device to perform energy debugging. Finally, and using this framework, we provide a collection of measurements and insights that deepens our understanding of the cross-factor.

Maternal parenting as a mediator of the relationship between intimate partner violence and effortful control
Creators: name: Gustafsson, Hanna C.
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: The current study examined the relationship between intimate partner violence (IPV), maternal parenting behaviors, and child effortful control in a diverse sample of 705 families living in predominantly low-income, rural communities. Using structural equation modeling, the authors simultaneously tested whether observed sensitive parenting and/or harsh-intrusive parenting over the toddler years mediated the relationship between early IPV and later effortful control. Results suggest that parenting behaviors fully mediate this relationship. Although higher levels of IPV were associated with both higher levels of harsh-intrusive parenting and lower levels of sensitive supportive parenting, only sensitive supportive parenting was associated with later effortful control when both parenting indices were considered in the same model.

description: Direct numerical integrations of the two-dimensional Fokker-Planck equation are carried out for compact objects orbiting a supermassive black hole (SBH) at the center of a galaxy. As in Papers I-III, the diffusion coefficients incorporate the effects of the lowest-order post-Newtonian corrections to the equations of motion. In addition, terms describing the loss of orbital energy and angular momentum due to the 5/2-order post-Newtonian terms are included. In the steady state, captures are found to occur in two regimes that are clearly differentiated in terms of energy, or semimajor axis; these two regimes are naturally characterized as "plunges" (low binding energy) and "EMRIs," or extreme-mass-ratio inspirals (high binding energy). The capture rate, and the distribution of orbital elements of the captured objects, are presented for two steady-state models based on the Milky Way: one with a relatively high density of remnants and one with a lower density. In both models, but particularly in the second, the steady-state energy distribution and the distribution of orbital elements of the captured objects are substantially different than if the Bahcall-Wolf energy distribution were assumed. The ability of classical relaxation to soften the blocking effects of the Schwarzschild barrier is quantified.These results, together with those of Papers I-III, suggest that a Fokker-Planck description can adequately represent the dynamics of collisional loss cones in the relativistic regime.

description: The masked priming technique (which compares #####-house-HOUSE vs. #####- fight-HOUSE) is the gold-standard tool to examine the initial moments of word processing. Lupker and Davis (2009) showed that adding a pre-prime identical to the target produced greater priming effects in the sandwich technique (which compares #####-HOUSE-house-HOUSE vs #####-HOUSE-fight-HOUSE). While there is consensus that the sandwich technique magnifies the size of priming effects relative to the standard procedure, the mechanisms underlying this boost are not well understood (i.e., does it reflect quantitative or qualitative changes?). To fully characterize the sandwich technique, we compared the sandwich and standard techniques by examining the RTs and their distributional features (delta plots; conditional-accuracy functions), comparing identity vs. unrelated primes. Results showed that the locus of the boost in the sandwich technique was two-fold: faster responses in the identity condition (via a shift in the RT distributions) and slower responses in the unrelated condition.

Face Symmetry Assessment: Educational and Clinical Implications of Expertise in Orthodontists
Creators: name: Jackson, Tate
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: The accurate assessment of face symmetry is necessary for the development of a dentofacial diagnosis in orthodontics. The enhancement of this ability is an important component of dental education, and an understanding of individual differences in perception of face symmetry between patients and providers is needed to facilitate successful treatment. Orthodontic residents and faculty, dental students, general dentists, and control participants completed a series of tasks to assess face symmetry. Judgments were made on pairs of upright faces (similar to the longitudinal assessment of photographic patient records), inverted faces, and dot patterns. Participants completed questionnaires regarding clinical practice, education level, and self-confidence ratings for symmetry assessment abilities. Orthodontists showed expertise compared to controls (p<0.001), while dentists showed no advantage compared to controls. Orthodontists performed better than dentists, however, in only the most difficult face symmetry judgments (p=0.006). For both orthodontists and dentists, accuracy increased significantly when assessing symmetry in upright vs. inverted faces (t=3.7, p=0.001; t=2.7, p=0.02). Residents showed a significant advantage in assessing face symmetry compared to control participants (p=0.002), while faculty members were better only in the most difficult face symmetry judgments compared to controls (p<0.001), and dental students showed no advantage over controls. Both residents and faculty members were better able to assess their own performance than other groups. The diagnostic skill of face symmetry assessment appears to be determined by more than just experience over time and may be subject to the testing effect, and accurate self-assessment may be one important benchmark of clinical skill acquisition. Orthodontists show expertise in assessing face symmetry compared to both laypersons and general dentists and are more accurate when judging upright than inverted faces. When using longitudinal photographic records to assess changing face symmetry, orthodontists are likely to be incorrect in less than 15% of cases, suggesting assistance from some additional technology is infrequently needed for diagnosis.

description: Cold atoms with laser-induced spin-orbit (SO) interactions provide intriguing new platforms to explore novel quantum physics beyond natural conditions of solids. Recent experiments demonstrated the one-dimensional (1D) SO coupling for boson and fermion gases. However, realization of 2D SO interaction, a much more important task, remains very challenging. Here we propose and experimentally realize, for the first time, 2D SO coupling and topological band with $^{87}$Rb degenerate gas through a minimal optical Raman lattice scheme, without relying on phase locking or fine tuning of optical potentials. A controllable crossover between 2D and 1D SO couplings is studied, and the SO effects and nontrivial band topology are observed by measuring the atomic cloud distribution and spin texture in the momentum space. Our realization of 2D SO coupling with advantages of small heating and topological stability opens a broad avenue in cold atoms to study exotic quantum phases, including the highly-sought-after topological superfluid phases.

description: We analyse a set of moments of minima of eclipsing variable V0873 Per. V0873 Per is a short period low mass binary star. Data about moments of minima of V0873 Per were taken from literature and our observations during 2013-2014. Our aim is to test the system on existence of new bodies using timing of minima of eclipses. We found the periodical variation of orbital period of V0873 Per. This variation can be explained by the gravitational influence of a third companion on the central binary star. The mass of third body candidate is $\approx 0.2 M_{\odot}$, its orbital period is $\approx 300$ days. The paper also includes a table with moments of minima calculated from our observations which can be used in future investigations of V0873 Per.

description: In this article, we study $p$-adic torus periods for certain $p$-adic valued functions on Shimura curves coming from classical origin. We prove a $p$-adic Waldspurger formula for these periods, generalizing the recent work of Bertolini, Darmon, and Prasanna. In pursuing such a formula, we construct a new anti-cyclotomic $p$-adic $L$-function of Rankin-Selberg type. At a character of positive weight, the $p$-adic $L$-function interpolates the central critical value of the complex Rankin-Selberg $L$-function. Its value at a Dirichlet character, which is outside the range of interpolation, essentially computes the corresponding $p$-adic torus period.

description: We analyze the impact of electric field and magnetic field fluctuations in the decoherence of the electronic spin associated with a single nitrogen-vacancy (NV) defect in diamond by engineering spin eigenstates protected either against magnetic noise or against electric noise. The competition between these noise sources is analyzed quantitatively by changing their relative strength through modifications of the environment. This study provides significant insights into the decoherence of the NV electronic spin, which is valuable for quantum metrology and sensing applications.

description: This Report offers a view to colonial Lima during the last year of the Habsburg domination through a relatively unknown censual source: the Numeración de todas Ias personas de ambos sexos, edades y calidades que se ha hecho en esta ciudad de Lima, año de 1700. Fundamentally, the importance of this Numeración is that it is the first complete census of Lima, because the surviving information from other colonial censuses, only provides population totals by ethnic groups but not itemized information about their distribution and composition. The exception to this rule is the Padrón de Indios of 1613, devoted exclusively to the Indians, the only section of the habitant census of 1614 that was found. The Numeración, in turn, although with information less worked out than that of the Padrón, offers a key-access to the analysis of the whole of the socio-racial groups residing in Lima in 1700. This Numeración has been at the disposal of the researchers devoted to the Colony for almost sixty years. The first one who made it known was Julián Paz in 1933, and in the following decades, many Peruvian researchers helped to its spreading. However, it was not until 1985 that David Noble Cook published this work for the first time, based on microfilms of the original. Since then, its 700 page volume has discouraged the researchers from carrying out a deep study, restricting theirselves to the use of population totals and subtotals isolatedly. Due to the abandonment that this source has suffered, my only purpose is to present to the academic world a description, adequately commented, of the information it includes and to offer my prelimary statistical findings so other researchers can make use of them. Although I also use other censual and secundary sources to put the information in perspective and to enrich the data presentation, the analysis of the “process" is, for the time being, unfinished. Moreover, I do not try to describe the Limean urban context in 1700, or to typify castes or social groups in an aprioristic way to work out a reflection about the "static" position that the censual source occupies in relation to them. I simply hope that the richness of the statistical data generated from this work refines or modifies some preconceived ideas related to the cohabitation and transformation of the social groups referred to

description: Let $E$ be an elliptic curve over $\mathbb{Q}$ and $A$ be another elliptic curve over a real quadratic number field. We construct a $\mathbb{Q}$-motive of rank $8$, together with a distinguished class in the associated Bloch-Kato Selmer group, using Hirzebruch-Zagier cycles, that is, graphs of Hirzebruch-Zagier morphisms. We show that, under certain assumptions on $E$ and $A$, the non-vanishing of the central critical value of the (twisted) triple product $L$-function attached to $(E,A)$ implies that the dimension of the associated Bloch-Kato Selmer group of the motive is $0$; and the non-vanishing of the distinguished class implies that the dimension of the associated Bloch-Kato Selmer group of the motive is $1$. This can be viewed as the triple product version of Kolyvagin's work on bounding Selmer groups of a single elliptic curve using Heegner points.
