description: Smart cities are today's modern trend. Many high-tech industrial firms are exploring different approaches to implement smart cities. Various projects aim at internet-of-things and smart solutions. Current implementations are mostly localized to a specific building or area; however, the growth is crossing space and geographic location limits. Shopping is a central activity that is frequent and typically a time-consuming task. SysMART is system of connected and smart supermarkets. SysMART enables a plausible shopping experience for customers. The aim of SysMART is to provide an advanced lifestyle with its ease of use functionality. SysMART outdoor services support distant parking availability, traffic status, and remote inventory checks for supermarkets in a chain. SysMART implementation relies on cutting edge technologies that support rapid prototyping and precision data acquisition, such as, National Instrument devices. The selected development environment is LabView with its world-class interfacing libraries. The paper comprises a detailed system description, development strategy, interface design, software engineering, and a thorough analysis and evaluation.

description: This article analyses the interregional linkages and the relative intensity of CO2 emissions embedded into domestic and global value chains from Brazilian states. An extended environmentally interregional input–output model (EEIIO) was applied to measure the bilateral trade in value-added (TiVA) and the total implicit emissions trade (TTE). The results reveal unbalanced pollution patterns in space. Few manufacturing hubs in core Brazilian states (mainly São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro) are net importers of intensive greenhouse gas (GHG) inputs from peripheries, implying an environmental responsibility driven by networks’ governance and relative position. By recognizing the role that multiscalar integration plays in implicit CO2 in both production and trade, it is possible to build local strategies to reduce sustainable spatial gaps.

description: We consider a 1D lattice gas model in which the atoms interact via an infinite number of cluster interactions within contiguous atomic chains plus the next nearest neighbor pairwise interaction. All interactions are of arbitrary strength. An analytical expression for the size distribution of atomic chain lengths is obtained in the framework of the canonical ensemble formalism. Application of the exact solution to the problems of self-assembly and self-organization is briefly discussed.

description: Liftoff variation causes errors in eddy current measurement of nonmagnetic plates as well as magnetic plates. For nonmagnetic plates, previous work has been carried out to address the issue. In this paper, we follow a similar strategy, but try to reduce the lift-off effect on another index, zerocrossing frequency for magnetic plates. This modified index, termed as the compensated zero-crossing frequency, can be obtained from the measured multifrequency inductance spectral data using the algorithm we developed in this paper. Since the zero-crossing frequency can be compensated, the permeability of magnetic plates can finally be predicted by deriving the relation between the permeability and zero-crossing frequency from Dodd and Deeds method. We have derived the method through mathematical manipulation and verified it by both simulation and experimental data. The permeability error caused by liftoff can be reduced within 7.5%.

description: We study supersymmetric charged rotating black holes in AdS$_5$, and show that closed timelike curves occur outside the event horizon. Also upon lifting to rotating D3 brane solutions of type IIB supergravity in ten dimensions, closed timelike curves are still present. We believe that these causal anomalies correspond to loss of unitarity in the dual ${\cal N}=4$, D=4 super Yang-Mills theory, i.e. the chronology protection conjecture in the AdS bulk is related to unitarity bounds in the boundary CFT. We show that no charged or uncharged geodesic can penetrate the horizon, so that the exterior region is geodesically complete. These results still hold true in the quantum case, i.~e.~the total absorption cross section for Klein-Gordon scalars propagating in the black hole background is zero. This suggests that the effective temperature is zero instead of assuming the naively found imaginary value.

description: We present a global optimizer, based on a conditional generative neural network, which can output ensembles of highly efficient topology-optimized metasurfaces operating across a range of parameters. A key feature of the network is that it initially generates a distribution of devices that broadly samples the design space, and then shifts and refines this distribution towards favorable design space regions over the course of optimization. Training is performed by calculating the forward and adjoint electromagnetic simulations of outputted devices and using the subsequent efficiency gradients for backpropagation. With metagratings operating across a range of wavelengths and angles as a model system, we show that devices produced from the trained generative network have efficiencies comparable to or better than the best devices produced by adjoint-based topology optimization, while requiring less computational cost. Our reframing of adjoint-based optimization to the training of a generative neural network applies generally to physical systems that can utilize gradients to improve performance.

description: This paper examines the relationship between entrepreneurship and unemployment. Using Eurostat business demography data, a strongly balanced panel model pertaining to 148 European regions from 2008 to 2017 is assembled and a fixed effects regression technique is used to analyse the relationship between net business population growth and lagged unemployment. Results from the analysis show evidence of a negative relationship. However, when we stratify regions based on their economic performance, we find that this relationship is positive in higher performing regions and negative in lower performing regions, suggesting that push-factor or necessity-based entrepreneurship may be more prevalent in leading rather than lagging regions. Implications for policy are discussed. Results for the influence of industrial concentration and variety on entrepreneurship are also obtained.

description: The paper deals with the studies of forced impacting oscillator when are taken into account the dry and viscous resistance, as well as the generalized Hertz contact law during an impact. The numerical treatments of mathematical model are accompanied with the validations on the base of experimental rig. To study the solutions of the mathematical model, we construct the sequences of impacts, when the system is evolved in periodic and chaotic modes. The statistical properties of chaotic impact events are considered in more details. In particular, we analyze the successive iterations of impact map, autocorrelation function and coefficient of variation for the impact train, the histograms for the inter-impact intervals and values of obstacle penetrations. It is revealed that the impact sequence is stationary but non-Poissonian and contains temporal scales which do not relate to the external stimulus. This sequence can be described by a bimodal distribution. These findings are confirmed by the analysis of experimental data.

description: In the UK the socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 mitigations over the course of the pandemic (March 2020 to the time of writing in January 2022) have been experienced unevenly and with differential intensities at both the regional and local scales. Using individual-level geocoded data (from the Understanding Society: UK Household Longitudinal Survey COVID-19 study) linking people to the places in which they live, we consider the regional and local disparities in the risks and outcomes of financial hardship as a result of early stage mitigations. This paper provides direct evidence from the UK of a concentration of vulnerabilities in areas of high deprivation, undermining the capacity of individuals within those areas to shelter from economic shocks. Furthermore, the geography of financial hardship appears largely compositional – attributable to the pre-existing characteristics of individuals within regions and neighbourhoods, rather than being explicitly driven by the spatial contextual effect of their social or physical environments. This has implications for UK regional economic policy, and the Levelling Up agenda in particular. It is not the regions and neighbourhoods that give rise to COVID-19 hardship per se, but the concentration of individual disadvantages of the people living within them. The persistence of compositional dis/advantages means that there is a need not only to direct ameliorative packages to the individual but also to use local areas as places where the (regional) Levelling Up agenda can break long-term place trajectories that lock in existing disparities which in turn yield unequal financial opportunities and outcomes in periods of crisis.

description: We study the quasi-normal modes (QNM) of scalar, electromagnetic and gravitational perturbations of black holes in general relativity whose horizons have toroidal, cylindrical or planar topology in an asymptotically anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime. The associated quasinormal frequencies describe the decay in time of the corresponding test field in the vicinities of the black hole. In terms of the AdS/CFT conjecture, the inverse of the frequency is a measure of the dynamical timescale of approach to thermal equilibrium of the corresponding conformal field theory.

description: The evolution of the comoving kinetic luminosity densities ($Ω_{\rm{kin}}$) of the radio loud (RL) high-excitation radio galaxies (RL HERGs) and the low-excitation radio galaxies (LERGs) in the XXL-S field is presented. The wide area and deep radio and optical data of XXL-S have allowed the construction of the radio luminosity functions (RLFs) of the RL HERGs and LERGs across a wide range in radio luminosity out to high redshift ($z = 1.3$). The LERG RLFs display weak evolution: $Φ(z)$ $\propto$ (1+$z$)$^{0.67 \pm 0.17}$ in the pure density evolution (PDE) case and $Φ(z)$ $\propto$ (1+$z$)$^{0.84 \pm 0.31}$ in the pure luminosity evolution (PLE) case. The RL HERG RLFs demonstrate stronger evolution than the LERGs: $Φ(z)$ $\propto$ (1+$z$)$^{1.81 \pm 0.15}$ for PDE and $Φ(z)$ $\propto$ (1+$z$)$^{3.19 \pm 0.29}$ for PLE. Converting $L_{\rm{1.4 GHz}}$ into kinetic luminosities, the evolution of $Ω_{\rm{kin}}$ was calculated for the RL HERGs and LERGs and compared to the predictions from simulations. The prediction for the evolution of radio mode feedback in the Semi-Analytic Galaxy Evolution model is consistent with the $Ω_{\rm{kin}}$ evolution for all XXL-S RL AGN, indicating that RL AGN may be able to balance the radiative cooling of the hot phase of the IGM. Simulations that predict the $Ω_{\rm{kin}}$ evolution of LERG equivalent populations show similar slopes to the XXL-S LERG evolution, indicating that LERGs are well described by models of SMBHs that slowly accrete hot gas. On the other hand, models of RL HERG equivalent populations differ in their predictions. While LERGs dominate the kinetic luminosity output of RL AGN at all redshifts, the evolution of the RL HERGs in XXL-S is weaker compared to what other studies have found. This implies that radio mode feedback from RL HERGs is more prominent at lower redshifts than was previously thought.

Consume less or grow sustainably? Matching energy systems with Indigenous worldviews in Panama

description: This article explores how energy systems, if reconceptualized and reordered to deliver greater equity, could exponentially improve livelihoods and livelihood pathways of Panama’s Ngäbe and Buglé communities which currently lack energy access. Inevitably, the choice of energy systems and related infrastructures will not only bring benefits, but also impose burdens on local ecosystems as well as communities living near project sites. In biodiversity-rich Indigenous contexts, including Panama’s comarcas, making informed decisions about energy systems that are yet to be developed, implies understanding the impacts and potential risks of embedding such technical systems into areas with high levels of biodiversity and species density, whose vulnerability will only increase with climate change. A conceptual framework used in the study combines energy justice research perspectives with the energy–water–food–climate nexus as an approach to local livelihood planning. This approach makes it possible to treat the concept of ‘energy’ within a broader framework of social–ecological systems and safe operating spaces, while applying it to a specific context (Ngäbe–Buglé comarca, Panama). In this way, the study extrapolates how energy justice issues co-relate with social–ecological inequities, and at the same time present risks for the future of the comarca, with implications for broader contexts.
The regression analysis of group truncated data

Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Regression analysis
subject: Bootstrap (Statistics)

description: This thesis considers the regression modelling of grouped binary data that is subject to truncation, and explores some general issues relating to truncation. The likelihood for simple binary and ordinal models is developed and the statistical behaviour of these models is explored. The models are found to be well behaved. The efficiency of the truncated model is compared with that of conditional logistic regression, a competing technique. It is found that the truncated model is always more efficient but requires additional assumptions about the data generation process to be applicable. The estimation of the full sample size, N , before truncation occurs is considered, in quite general regression models. The case where the covariate distribution is discrete is first considered. This is extended to allow continuous covariates, and the additional difficulties involved are explored. The issue of setting confidence intervals for N is discussed. A simulation study is used to explore the methods behaviour. Next, the Bayesian analysis of truncated regression models is considered. The use of the empirical distribution of the observed covariates to facilitate the analysis is explored. The posterior distribution of the models parameters under this approach is derived and a Gibbs sampling algorithm implemented to explore the posterior. The convergence properties of the algorithm is considered, and the techniques behaviour assessed in a small simulation study. The effect of over-dispersion on the analysis of group truncated binary data is considered. The available methods of introducing over-dispersion in clustered binary data are discussed and it is argued that only random effects models provide a viable approach. Parameter estimation in these models is derived via a marginal likelihood. In addition a score test is constructed to test for the presence of random effects in group truncated binary data. The methods performance is demonstrated using a simulation study. Finally, the use of the bootstrap to estimate the sampling distribution of parameter estimates from truncated data is considered in an appendix. The inherent limitations of using resampling methodologies to investigate truncated data is demonstrated. It is shown that the nonparametric advantages of the bootstrap are not realised with truncated data due to the lack of observations on the truncated class.

description: We study massive spin-1/2 fermion production in nonsingular superstring cosmology, taking into account one-loop quantum corrections to a superstring effective action with dilaton and modulus fields. While no creation occurs in the massless limit, massive fermions can be produced by the existence of a time-dependent frequency. Due to the increase of the Hubble expansion rate during the modulus-driven phase, the occupation of number of fermions continues to grow until the point of the graceful exit, after which fermion creation ceases with the decrease of the Hubble rate.

description: Transition from bending-dominated to stretching-dominated elastic response in semi-flexible fibrous networks plays an important role in the mechanical behavior of cells and tissues. It is induced by changes in network connectivity and relies on construction of new cross-links. We propose a simple continuum model of this transition with macroscopic strain playing the role of order parameter. An unusual feature of this Landau-type theory is that it is based on a single-well potential. We predict that bending-to-stretching transition proceeds through propagation of the localized fronts separating domains with affine and non-affine elastic response.

 Remarks. This species was synonymized with X. cyanipennis by SPAETH (1938), however, the latter has uniformly yellow antennae and much coarser punctation of the elytra. I was not able to locate the type specimen(s) in BMNH, however, I have seen several specimens collected recently in Ecuador, and they perfectly agree with the primary description, having bicolorous antennae, coarser punctation and being somewhat narrower. Therefore I restore species status of X. elegans and Ecuador is removed from the range of X. cyanipennis.

description: The high sensitivity and wide frequency coverage of the Murchison Widefield Array allow for the measurement of the spectral scaling of the pulsar scattering timescale, $α$, from a single observation. Here we present three case studies targeted at bright, strongly scattered pulsars J0534+2200 (the Crab pulsar), J0835-4510 (the Vela pulsar) and J0742-2822. We measure the scattering spectral indices to be $-3.8\pm0.2$, $-4.0\pm1.5$, and $-2.5\pm0.6$ for the Crab, Vela, and J0742-2822, respectively. We find that the scattered profiles of both Vela and J0742-2822 are best described by a thin screen model where the Gum Nebula likely contributes most of the observed scattering delay. For the Crab pulsar we see characteristically different pulse shapes compared to higher frequencies, for which none of the scattering screen models we explore are found to be optimal. The presence of a finite inner scale to the turbulence can possibly explain some of the discrepancies.

description: The interplay between string theory and cosmology is very promising. Since string theory will yield a quantum theory of space-time and unify all forces of nature, it has the potential of addressing many of the conceptual problems of the current models of early Universe cosmology. In turn, cosmology is the most obvious testing ground in the effort to construct non-perturbative string theory, and can provide the crucial connection between theory and experiment/observation.

description: Neighbourhoods affect people’s livelihoods, and therefore drive and mediate intra-urban inequalities and transformations. While the neighbourhood has long been recognized as an important unit of analysis, there is surprisingly little systematic research on different neighbourhood types, especially in the fast-growing cities of the Global South. In this paper we employ k-means clustering, a common machine-learning algorithm, to develop a neighbourhood typology for South Africa’s eight largest cities. Using census data, we identify and describe eight neighbourhood types, each with distinct demographic, socio-economic, structural and infrastructural characteristics. This is followed by a relational comparison of the neighbourhood types along key variables, where we demonstrate the persistent and multi-dimensional nature of residential inequalities. In addition to shedding new light on the internal structure of South African cities, the paper makes an important contribution by applying an inductive, data-driven approach to developing neighbourhood typologies that advances a more sophisticated and nuanced understanding of cities in the Global South.

description: The behaviors of quantum stress tensor for the scalar field on the classical background of spherical dust collapse is studied. In the previous works diverging flux of quantum radiation was predicted. We use the exact expressions in a 2D model formulated by Barve et al. Our present results show that the back reaction does not become important during the semiclassical phase. The appearance of the naked singularity would not be affected by this quantum field radiation. To predict whether the naked singularity explosion occurs or not we need the theory of quantum gravity. We depict the generation of the diverging flux inside the collapsing star. The quantum energy is gathered around the center positively. This would be converted to the diverging flux along the Cauchy horizon. The ingoing negative flux crosses the Cauchy horizon. The intensity of it is divergent only at the central naked singularity. This diverging negative ingoing flux is balanced with the outgoing positive diverging flux which propagates along the Cauchy horizon. After the replacement of the naked singularity to the practical high density region the instantaneous diverging radiation would change to more milder one with finite duration.

description: It is an open problem whether an infinite-dimensional amenable Banach algebra exists whose underlying Banach space is reflexive. We give sufficient conditions for a reflexive, amenable Banach algebra to be finite-dimensional (and thus a finite direct sum of full matrix algebras). If $A$ is a reflexive, amenable Banach algebra such that for each maximal left ideal $L$ of $A$ (i) the quotient $A / L$ has the approximation property and (ii) the canonical map from $A \check{\otimes} L^\perp$ to $(A / L) \wtensor L^\perp$ is open, then $A$ is finite-dimensional. As an application, we show that, if $A$ is an a menable Banach algebra whose underlying Banach space is an ${\cal L}^p$-space with $p \in (1,\infty)$ such that for each maximal left ideal $L$ the quotient $A / L$ has the approximation property, then $A$ is finite-dimensional.

description: Argumentation Mining addresses the challenging tasks of identifying boundaries of argumentative text fragments and extracting their relationships. Fully automated solutions do not reach satisfactory accuracy due to their insufficient incorporation of semantics and domain knowledge. Therefore, experts currently rely on time-consuming manual annotations. In this paper, we present a visual analytics system that augments the manual annotation process by automatically suggesting which text fragments to annotate next. The accuracy of those suggestions is improved over time by incorporating linguistic knowledge and language modeling to learn a measure of argument similarity from user interactions. Based on a long-term collaboration with domain experts, we identify and model five high-level analysis tasks. We enable close reading and note-taking, annotation of arguments, argument reconstruction, extraction of argument relations, and exploration of argument graphs. To avoid context switches, we transition between all views through seamless morphing, visually anchoring all text- and graph-based layers. We evaluate our system with a two-stage expert user study based on a corpus of presidential debates. The results show that experts prefer our system over existing solutions due to the speedup provided by the automatic suggestions and the tight integration between text and graph views.

Relaxation Tribometry: A Generic Method to Identify the Nature of Contact Forces

description: Recent years have witnessed the development of so-called relaxation tribometers, the free oscillation of which is altered by the presence of frictional stresses within the contact. So far, analysis of such oscillations has been restricted to the shape of their decaying envelope, to identify in particular solid or viscous friction components. Here, we present a more general expression of the forces possibly acting within the contact , and retain six possible, physically relevant terms. Two of them, which had never been proposed in the context of relaxation tribometry, only affect the oscillation frequency, not the amplitude of the signal. We demonstrate that each of those six terms has a unique signature in the time-evolution of the oscillation, which allows efficient identification of their respective weights in any experimental signal. We illustrate our methodology on a PDMS sphere/glass plate torsional contact.
Statistics of the critical percolation backbone with spatial long-range correlations

description: We study the statistics of the backbone cluster between two sites separated by distance $r$ in two-dimensional percolation networks subjected to spatial long-range correlations. We find that the distribution of backbone mass follows the scaling {\it ansatz}, $P(M_B)\sim M_B^{-(α+1)}f(M_B/M_0)$, where $f(x)=(α+ ηx^η) \exp(-x^η)$ is a cutoff function, and $M_0$ and $η$ are cutoff parameters. Our results from extensive computational simulations indicate that this scaling form is applicable to both correlated and uncorrelated cases. We show that the exponent $α$ can be directly related to the fractal dimension of the backbone $d_B$, and should therefore depend on the imposed degree of long-range correlations.

description: Let $A$ be a ring and $σ: A \to A$ a ring endomorphism. A generalized skew (or $σ$-)derivation of $A$ is an additive map $d: A \to A$ for which there exists a map $δ:A \to A$ such that $d(xy)=δ(x)y+σ(x)d(y)$ for all $x,y \in A$. If $A$ is a prime $C^*$-algebra and $σ$ is surjective, we determine the structure of generalized $σ$-derivations of $A$ that belong to the cb-norm closure of elementary operators $\mathcal{E}\ell(A)$ on $A$; all such maps are of the form $d(x)=bx+axc$ for suitable elements $a,b,c$ of the multiplier algebra $M(A)$. As a consequence, if an epimorphism $σ: A \to A$ lies in the cb-norm closure of $\mathcal{E}\ell(A)$, then $σ$ must be an inner automorphism. We also show that these results cannot be extended even to relatively well-behaved non-prime $C^*$-algebras like $C(X,\mathbb{M}_2 )$.

description: This graphic uses cartogram analysis to demonstrate how Covid-19 affects high-speed rail (HSR) and air networks in China. During the first round of the Covid-19 outbreak, intercity transportation networks significantly decreased their service. However, the supply of transport hubs was retained to ensure basic service coverage and efficiency. Conversely, air transportation was affected more than HSR networks. The average number of daily flights declined to 19% of the original traffic, while high-speed trains maintained their original 64%. This disparity is explained by the owners and operation of the two transportation networks and their different roles in intercity connections.
