description: Artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been successfully applied to solve a variety of classification and function approximation problems. Although ANNs can generally predict better than decision trees for pattern classification problems, ANNs are often regarded as black boxes since their predictions cannot be explained clearly like those of decision trees. This paper presents a new algorithm, called rule extraction from ANNs (REANN), to extract rules from trained ANNs for medical diagnosis problems. A standard three-layer feedforward ANN with four-phase training is the basis of the proposed algorithm. In the first phase, the number of hidden nodes in ANNs is determined automatically by a constructive algorithm. In the second phase, irrelevant connections and input nodes are removed from trained ANNs without sacrificing the predictive accuracy of ANNs. The continuous activation values of the hidden nodes are discretized by using an efficient heuristic clustering algorithm in the third phase. Finally, rules are extracted from compact ANNs by examining the discretized activation values of the hidden nodes. Extensive experimental studies on three benchmark classification problems, i.e. breast cancer, diabetes and lenses, demonstrate that REANN can generate high quality rules from ANNs, which are comparable with other methods in terms of number of rules, average number of conditions for a rule, and predictive accuracy.

description: It has been proposed that cosmic ray events could have a causal relationship with cloud formation rates. Given the weak constraints on the role that cloud formation plays in climate forcing it is essential to understand the role such a relationship could have in shaping the Earth's climate. This issue has been previously investigated in the context of the long-term effect of cosmic ray events on climate. However, in order to establish whether or not such a relationship exists, measurements of short-timescale solar events, individual cosmic ray events, and spatially correlated cloud parameters could be of great significance. Here we propose such a comparison using observations from a pair of radio telescopes arrays, the Long Wavelength Array (LWA) and the Eight-meter-wavelength Transient Array (ETA). These low-frequency radio arrays have a unique ability to simultaneously conduct solar, ionospheric and cosmic rays observations and are thus ideal for such a comparison. We will outline plans for a comparison using data from these instruments, satellite images of cloud formation as well as expected cloud formation rates from numerical models. We present some preliminary results illustrating the efficacy of this type of comparison and discuss future plans to carryout this program.

description: In recent years, open science practices have become increasingly popular in psychology and related sciences. These practices aim to increase rigour and transparency in science as a potential response to the challenges posed by the replication crisis. Many of these reforms—including the increasingly used preregistration—have been designed for purely experimental work that tests straightforward hypotheses with standard inferential statistical analyses, such as assessing whether an experimental manipulation has an effect on a variable of interest. But psychology is a diverse field of research. The somewhat narrow focus of the prevalent discussions surrounding and templates for preregistration has led to debates on how appropriate these reforms are for areas of research with more diverse hypotheses and more intricate methods of analysis, such as cognitive modelling research within mathematical psychology. Our article attempts to bridge the gap between open science and mathematical psychology, focusing on the type of cognitive modelling that Crüwell et al. (Crüwell S, Stefan AM, Evans NJ. 2019 Robust standards in cognitive science. Comput. Brain Behav. 2, 255–265) labelled model application, where researchers apply a cognitive model as a measurement tool to test hypotheses about parameters of the cognitive model. Specifically, we (i) discuss several potential researcher degrees of freedom within model application, (ii) provide the first preregistration template for model application and (iii) provide an example of a preregistered model application using our preregistration template. More broadly, we hope that our discussions and concrete proposals constructively advance the mostly abstract current debate surrounding preregistration in cognitive modelling, and provide a guide for how preregistration templates may be developed in other diverse or intricate research contexts.
Power management in a sensor network for automated water quality monitoring
Creators: name: Shu, Tongxin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Power management is crucial in remote environmental monitoring, especially when long-term monitoring is needed. Renewable energy sources such as solar and wind may be harvested for sustaining a monitoring system. Without proper power management, equipment within the monitoring system may become nonfunctional and as a consequence, the data or events captured during the monitoring process will become inaccurate as well. Based on reinforcement learning, this thesis develops and applies an adaptive sampling algorithm and duty cycling for power management in automated water quality monitoring with energy harvesting. The state of the water quality parameters in a water source such as a lake or river may change in an unpredictable manner (e.g., may remain stable or change abruptly) depending on many factors such as climate or environmental changes or those caused by humans (e.g., waste water discharge from factories, construction, farming, and litter). Ideally, the sampling rate that is used for a sensor signal should depend on the rate at which the signal changes. Hence, adaptive sampling scheme using reinforcement learning is used in the present work, for water quality monitoring. The energy consumption for signal acquisition, processing, and transmission all depend on the sampling frequency, either directly or indirectly. Hence, it is desirable for the sensor nodes to dynamically learn how to determine the best sampling frequency for a sensor signal, depending how the signal changes due to the environmental situations, and adjust the sampling rate accordingly. It is found that by dynamically changing the sampling frequency, the battery state can be maintained at an energy-neutral level. Duty cycling also contributes to achieving the same goal by scheduling the working and sleeping time of a sensor node. It is shown that by switching between the work mode and the sleep mode, a satisfactory battery state can be maintained. These two methods have different degrees of advantage and performance in power management, but it is shown that both methods can achieve the energy neutrality while maintaining a high level of accuracy in the acquired data.

description: The web information resources are growing explosively in number and volume. Now to retrieve relevant data from web has become very difficult and time-consuming. Semantic Web envisions that these web resources should be developed in machine-processable way in order to handle irrelevancy and manual processing problems. Whereas, the Semantic Web is an extension of current web, in which web resources are equipped with formal semantics about their interpretation through machines. These web resources are usually contained in web applications and systems, and their formal semantics are normally represented in the form of web-ontologies. In this research paper, an object-oriented design methodology (OODM) is upgraded for developing semantic web applications. OODM has been developed for designing of web applications for the current web. This methodology is good enough to develop web applications. It also provides a systematic approach for the web applications development but it is not helpful in generating machine-pocessable content of web applications in their development. Therefore, this methodology needs to be extended. In this paper, we propose that extension in OODM. This new extended version is referred to as the semantic web object-oriented design methodology (SW-OODM).

Application Characterization for Wireless Network Power Management

description: The popular IEEE 802.11 standard defines a power saving mode that keeps the network interface in a low power sleep state and periodically powers it up to synchronize with the base station. The length of the sleep interval, the so called beacon period, affects two dimensions, namely application performance and energy consumption. The main disadvantage of this power saving policy lies in its static nature: a short beacon period wastes energy due to frequent activations of the interface while a long beacon period can cause diminished application responsiveness and performance. While the first aspect, reduction of power consumption, has been studied extensively, the implications on application performance have received only little attention. We argue that the tolerable reduction of performance or quality depends on the application and the user. As an example, a beacon period of only 100ms slows down RPC-based operations like NFS dramatically, while the user will probably not recognize the additional delay when using a web browser. If at all, known power management algorithms guarantee a system wide limit on performance degradation without differentiating between different application profiles.
This work presents an approach to identify on-line the currently running application class by a mapping of network traffic characteristics to a predefined set of application profiles. We propose a power saving policy which dynamically adapts to the detected application profile, thus identifying the application- and user-specific power/performance trade-off. An implementation of the characterization algorithm is presented and evaluated running several typical applications for mobile devices.

description: This paper studies Zeilberger's two prized constant term identities. For one of the identities, Zeilberger asked for a simple proof that may give rise to a simple proof of Andrews theorem for the number of totally symmetric self complementary plane partitions. We obtain an identity reducing a constant term in $2k$ variables to a constant term in $k$ variables. As applications, Zeilberger's constant terms are converted to single determinants. The result extends for two classes of matrices, the sum of all of whose full rank minors is converted to a single determinant. One of the prized constant term problems is solved, and we give a seemingly new approach to Macdonald's constant term for root system of type BC.

description: This dissertation traces both professional and public concerns about the Earth’s environmental limits from the late 1960s to 1990s, at the intersection of reproductive rights and aerospace technology. It considers two rather ‘radical’ and opposing grassroots activist approaches for how to best address the environmental and population crises that gained public traction at the turn of the 1970s: zero population growth and space settlement. The current scholarship has examined the ‘era of limits,’ and modern environmentalism and population control activism from both U.S. and global perspectives, considering how policy, science, gender, politics, and the media shape public understandings and both local and state responses. Zero growth proponents, through both coercive and voluntary campaigns, sought to demonstrate and halt the damage that unchecked economic and population growth was causing the planet. Yet these histories rarely consider the rise of new spaceflight technologies and thought during the same period, which promised a pro-growth, technology-infused solution to the limits to growth, one that would not impose restrictions on consumptive, environmental, or reproductive behavior. Responding to recent scholarly efforts to better contextualize aerospace technology into social and cultural histories of the post-Apollo era, this dissertation focuses on the grassroots activism of two organizations: Zero Population Growth (ZPG), which advocated for zero growth, and the L-5 Society (including a student-run affiliate chapter called the Maryland Alliance for Space Colonization), which promoted space settlement and the manufacturing of clean, pollution-free energy and mining resources for Earth. In this dissertation, I argue that in order to fully understand the implications of ‘Earthly limits’ on American society, we need to look at the role of grassroots activists. How did their concerns form, persist, and change over the course of the late twentieth century? Using primary and archival material and oral histories of the members, it analyzes their dynamics, goals, and stakes in ideas about limits to growth and a finite Earth. Centering on the diverse personal stories and experiences of former activists reveals their unique motivations for joining their respective groups, why they advocated for such different approaches to the limits to growth, and how their drive for a better future continued long after popular enthusiasm for zero growth and space settlement waned by the late 1970s.

description: Many formal languages have been proposed to express or represent Ontologies, including RDF, RDFS, DAML+OIL and OWL. Most of these languages are based on XML syntax, but with various terminologies and expressiveness. Therefore, choosing a language for building an Ontology is the main step. The main point of choosing language to represent Ontology is based mainly on what the Ontology will represent or be used for. That language should have a range of quality support features such as ease of use, expressive power, compatibility, sharing and versioning, internationalisation. This is because different kinds of knowledge-based applications need different language features. The main objective of these languages is to add semantics to the existing information on the web. The aims of this paper is to provide a good knowledge of existing language and understanding of these languages and how could be used.

description: Unilateral axillary lymphadenopathy is a frequent mild side effect of COVID-19 vaccination. European Society of Breast Imaging (EUSOBI) proposes ten recommendations to standardise its management and reduce unnecessary additional imaging and invasive procedures: (1) in patients with previous history of breast cancer, vaccination should be performed in the contralateral arm or in the thigh; (2) collect vaccination data for all patients referred to breast imaging services, including patients undergoing breast cancer staging and follow-up imaging examinations; (3) perform breast imaging examinations preferentially before vaccination or at least 12 weeks after the last vaccine dose; (4) in patients with newly diagnosed breast cancer, apply standard imaging protocols regardless of vaccination status; (5) in any case of symptomatic or imaging-detected axillary lymphadenopathy before vaccination or at least 12 weeks after, examine with appropriate imaging the contralateral axilla and both breasts to exclude malignancy; (6) in case of axillary lymphadenopathy contralateral to the vaccination side, perform standard work-up; (7) in patients without breast cancer history and no suspicious breast imaging findings, lymphadenopathy only ipsilateral to the vaccination side within 12 weeks after vaccination can be considered benign or probably-benign, depending on clinical context; (8) in patients without breast cancer history, post-vaccination lymphadenopathy coupled with suspicious breast finding requires standard work-up, including biopsy when appropriate; (9) in patients with breast cancer history, interpret and manage post-vaccination lymphadenopathy considering the timeframe from vaccination and overall nodal metastatic risk; (10) complex or unclear cases should be managed by the multidisciplinary team.

description: Abstract: Background: Brain metastases from prostate cancer are rare and usually only occur in the context of widespread systemic disease. This is the first case report of a solitary brain oligometastasis, in a neurologically intact prostate cancer patient with no other systemic disease, detected using [68Ga]Ga-THP-PSMA PET/CT and only the second one using a PSMA-based radiopharmaceutical. Case presentation: We report the case of a prostate cancer patient presenting 5 years after robot-assisted laparoscopic prostatectomy with biochemical recurrence, no neurological symptoms, and in the absence of metastatic lesions in the body on conventional imaging. A solitary cerebral metastasis was detected using [68Ga]Ga-THP-PSMA PET/CT, surgically resected, leading to a drop in serum PSA and a good recovery. Conclusion: In this case, [68Ga]Ga-THP-PSMA PET/CT resulted in a major change in clinical management and avoided additional morbidity associated with delayed diagnosis and treatment. This report demonstrates the importance of considering the presence of metastatic disease outside the conventional locations of prostate cancer spread, as well as the importance of ensuring comprehensive [68Ga]Ga-PSMA PET/CT coverage from vertex to upper thighs.

description: Transit timing analysis may be an effective method of discovering additional bodies in extrasolar systems which harbour transiting exoplanets. The deviations from the Keplerian motion, caused by mutual gravitational interactions between planets, are expected to generate transit timing variations of transiting exoplanets. In 2009 we collected 9 light curves of 8 transits of the exoplanet WASP-10b. Combining these data with published ones, we found that transit timing cannot be explained by a constant period but by a periodic variation. Simplified three-body models which reproduce the observed variations of timing residuals were identified by numerical simulations. We found that the configuration with an additional planet of mass of $\sim$0.1 $M_{\rm{J}}$ and orbital period of $\sim$5.23 d, located close to the outer 5:3 mean motion resonance, is the most likely scenario. If the second planet is a transiter, the estimated flux drop will be $\sim$0.3 per cent and can be observable with a ground-based telescope. Moreover, we present evidence that the spots on the stellar surface and rotation of the star affect the radial velocity curve giving rise to spurious eccentricity of the orbit of the first planet. We argue that the orbit of WASP-10b is essentially circular. Using the gyrochronology method, the host star was found to be $270 \pm 80$ Myr old. This young age can explain the large radius reported for WASP-10b.

description: Abstract: The reliability of air quality simulations has a strong dependence on the input emissions inventories, which are associated with various sources of uncertainties, particularly in regions undergoing rapid emission changes where inventories can be ‘out of date’ almost as soon as they are compiled. This work provides a new methodology for updating emissions inventories by source sector using air quality ensemble simulations and observations from a dense monitoring network. It is adopted to determine the short-term trends in carbon monoxide (CO) emissions, an important pollutant and precursor to tropospheric ozone, in a study area centred around Beijing following the implementation of clean air policies. We sample the uncertainties associated with using an a priori emissions inventory for the year 2013 in air quality simulations of 2016, using an atmospheric dispersion model combined with a perturbed emissions ensemble (PEE), which is constructed based on expert-elicited uncertainty ranges for individual source sectors in the inventory. By comparing the simulation outputs with observational constraints, we are able to constrain the emissions of key source sectors relative to those in the a priori emissions inventory. From 2013 to 2016, we find a 44–88% reduction in the transport sector emissions (0.92–4.4×105 Mg in 2016) and a minimum 61% decrease in residential sector emissions (<3.5×105 Mg in 2016) within the study area. We also provide evidence that the night-time fraction of traffic sources in 2016 was higher than that in the 2013 emissions inventory. This study shows the applicability of PEEs and high-resolution observations in providing timely updates of emission estimates by source sector.

description: Hierarchical task decomposition is a method used in many agent systems to organize agent knowledge. This work shows how the combination of a hierarchy and persistent assertions of knowledge can lead to difficulty in maintaining logical consistency in asserted knowledge. We explore the problematic consequences of persistent assumptions in the reasoning process and introduce novel potential solutions. Having implemented one of the possible solutions, Dynamic Hierarchical Justification, its effectiveness is demonstrated with an empirical analysis.

description: Abstract: Subjective cognitive decline (SCD) is regarded as the first clinical manifestation in the Alzheimer’s disease (AD) continuum. Investigating populations with SCD is important for understanding the early pathological mechanisms of AD and identifying SCD-related biomarkers, which are critical for the early detection of AD. With the advent of advanced neuroimaging techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), accumulating evidence has revealed structural and functional brain alterations related to the symptoms of SCD. In this review, we summarize the main imaging features and key findings regarding SCD related to AD, from local and regional data to connectivity-based imaging measures, with the aim of delineating a multimodal imaging signature of SCD due to AD. Additionally, the interaction of SCD with other risk factors for dementia due to AD, such as age and the Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) ɛ4 status, has also been described. Finally, the possible explanations for the inconsistent and heterogeneous neuroimaging findings observed in individuals with SCD are discussed, along with future directions. Overall, the literature reveals a preferential vulnerability of AD signature regions in SCD in the context of AD, supporting the notion that individuals with SCD share a similar pattern of brain alterations with patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia due to AD. We conclude that these neuroimaging techniques, particularly multimodal neuroimaging techniques, have great potential for identifying the underlying pathological alterations associated with SCD. More longitudinal studies with larger sample sizes combined with more advanced imaging modeling approaches such as artificial intelligence are still warranted to establish their clinical utility.

description: The proliferation of online information sources has led to an increased use of wrappers for extracting data from Web sources. While most of the previous research has focused on quick and efficient generation of wrappers, the development of tools for wrapper maintenance has received less attention. This is an important research problem because Web sources often change in ways that prevent the wrappers from extracting data correctly. We present an efficient algorithm that learns structural information about data from positive examples alone. We describe how this information can be used for two wrapper maintenance applications: wrapper verification and reinduction. The wrapper verification system detects when a wrapper is not extracting correct data, usually because the Web source has changed its format. The reinduction algorithm automatically recovers from changes in the Web source by identifying data on Web pages so that a new wrapper may be generated for this source. To validate our approach, we monitored 27 wrappers over a period of a year. The verification algorithm correctly discovered 35 of the 37 wrapper changes, and made 16 mistakes, resulting in precision of 0.73 and recall of 0.95. We validated the reinduction algorithm on ten Web sources. We were able to successfully reinduce the wrappers, obtaining precision and recall values of 0.90 and 0.80 on the data extraction task.

description: Abstract: The Hong Kong stock market is known to be highly volatile. Professional investors have a strong demand for timely information because of the infrequent nature of Hong Kong analysts’ interim reports (Cheng et al., 2003). Our paper provides a comprehensive study of investor reactions to analysts’ recommendations in the Hong Kong stock market from 2009 to 2014 under different sentiment scenarios. We find that analysts’ recommendation upgrades and downgrades deliver significant information to the Hong Kong stock market. However, analysts’ initiation coverages convey little information and bring about limited impact to the stock market. In addition, analysts’ upgrades and downgrades result in significant differential price impacts in bullish and the bearish phases.
A holistic approach to internationalisation : motives, enablers and patterns of emerging market SMEs

description: Firm internationalisation has been a popular subject in the international business literature for many decades, with a strong focus on multinational enterprises (MNEs) and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from developed markets. Despite the recent interest in exploring the internationalisation of large MNEs from emerging markets, there is limited research on SMEs from emerging markets (EM SMEs). This study holistically explores EM SMEs' internationalisation motives, enablers, and patterns by extending the Goldilocks debate to SME internationalisation. While the purpose of this study is to understand the internationalisation of EM manufacturing SMEs, it seeks answers to why, what, how, when, and to what extent questions relating to the firms' internationalisation. The existing perspectives are reviewed to achieve the research objectives by identifying motives, enablers and patterns relating to firm internationalisation. A case study method has been utilised with qualitative semi-structured interviews conducted with EM SMEs' decision-makers. The primary data are supported by secondary data, including supporting documents and additional interviews to triangulate the findings. Collected data is analysed using qualitative data analysis techniques, including coding, categorising the data into themes, identifying patterns, and devising a conceptual framework. This thesis shows that EM SMEs predominantly use institutional networks rather than social networks. It demonstrates the importance of strategic entrepreneurship and government support as enablers, and the firms pursue proactive and reactive motives by following incremental patterns using exporting as the only entry mode. This study suggests that a holistic approach is important to better understand the phenomenon of internationalisation by demonstrating the influence of internationalisation motives and enablers on the firms' internationalisation patterns. The implications for managers and policymakers are discussed. Future research can extend the findings in this study by applying the conceptual framework in different countries and by testing the findings on a wider population to generalise the results.
Investigation of compressive bond behavior of steel and fiber reinforced polymer bars embedded in recycled aggregate concrete

description: Over the past several years, one of the important issues concerning the construction industry has been sustainable development. Therefore, usage of sustainable building materials and the reuse and recycling of previously used building materials have been considered in many areas. Recycling of construction and demolition (C&D) wastes could prevent their costly disposal which is hazardous to the environment. Utilization of demolished concrete as a coarse aggregate, often termed as recycled coarse aggregate (RCA) for producing industry quality concrete, could lead to a solution to the environmental conservation and pave the way towards sustainability by reducing the consumption of natural aggregate. During the development of this new generation product, it is essential to investigate the structural properties of reinforced RCA concrete to promote its application, in the construction industry. Besides, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite rebars have been widely used in construction instead of steel rebars. Their non-corrosive nature and high tensile strength are the main reason of this replacement. Performance of reinforced concrete members at serviceability and ultimate limit states is controlled by the bond between reinforcement and concrete which is a critical design parameter. This research aims to evaluate RCA application in structural concrete and investigate the bond properties between reinforcing steel/FRP bars and RCA concrete. Bond performance of 35 MPa RCA concrete was assessed through an experimental plan. Five RCA replacement percentages and different diameters of reinforcing bars were used. Effects of embedment length and concrete cover to bar diameter ratio on the bond strength were moreover considered. It was observed that under constant mix proportions, an increase in the bar size and the embedment length to bar diameter ratio leads to a reduction in the bond strength due to growth of voids trapped between the bar surface and concrete. Like regular concrete, larger concrete cover helps improving the bond behavior. On average, acceptable bond strengths were observed in RCA samples which were close to control results. In addition, smaller bar diameter and larger concrete cover can improve bond behavior of specimens embedded with FRPs in comparison with steel ones.
