description: Frequent pattern mining is a key area of study that gives insights into the structure and dynamics of evolving networks, such as social or road networks. However, not only does a network evolve, but often the way that it evolves, itself evolves. Thus, knowing, in addition to patterns' frequencies, for how long and how regularly they have occurred---i.e., their persistence---can add to our understanding of evolving networks. In this work, we propose the problem of mining activity that persists through time in continually evolving networks---i.e., activity that repeatedly and consistently occurs. We extend the notion of temporal motifs to capture activity among specific nodes, in what we call activity snippets, which are small sequences of edge-updates that reoccur. We propose axioms and properties that a measure of persistence should satisfy, and develop such a persistence measure. We also propose PENminer, an efficient framework for mining activity snippets' Persistence in Evolving Networks, and design both offline and streaming algorithms. We apply PENminer to numerous real, large-scale evolving networks and edge streams, and find activity that is surprisingly regular over a long period of time, but too infrequent to be discovered by aggregate count alone, and bursts of activity exposed by their lack of persistence. Our findings with PENminer include neighborhoods in NYC where taxi traffic persisted through Hurricane Sandy, the opening of new bike-stations, characteristics of social network users, and more. Moreover, we use PENminer towards identifying anomalies in multiple networks, outperforming baselines at identifying subtle anomalies by 9.8-48% in AUC.

description: Spectra and spin structures of Andreev interface states and the Josephson current are investigated theoretically in junctions between clean superconductors (SC) with ordered interlayers. The Josephson current through the ferromagnet-insulator-ferromagnet interlayer can exhibit a nonmonotonic dependence on the misorientation angle. The characteristic behavior takes place if the pi state is the equilibrium state of the junction in the particular case of parallel magnetizations. We find a novel channel of quasiparticle reflection (Q reflection) from the simplest two-sublattice antiferromagnet (AF) on a bipartite lattice. As a combined effect of Andreev and Q reflections, Andreev states arise at the AF/SC interface. When the Q reflection dominates the specular one, Andreev bound states have almost zero energy on AF/ s-wave SC interfaces, whereas they lie near the edge of the continuous spectrum for AF/d-wave SC boundaries. For an s-wave SC/AF/s-wave SC junction, the bound states are found to split and carry the supercurrent. Our analytical results are based on a novel quasiclassical approach, which applies to interfaces involving itinerant antiferromagnets. Similar effects can take place on interfaces of superconductors with charge density wave materials (CDW), including the possible d-density wave state (DDW) of the cuprates.

calibration of simulation methodology

description: This deliverable describes how the solution has been standardised to identify additional case studies that might have a viable business case. These case studies allows to have a general idea of how the system can be replicated in future projects. This deliverable includes two different sections: - Firstly, under the Calibration of simulation methodology section we include the comparison of the empirical results of the pilot cases with the initial expected ones, in order to validate the economic feasibility of the pilot systems. The methodology used to calibrate the simulated results based on real data is also explained. The main objective of the process is that the simulation software results could be a support for decision-making. - Secondly, under the Standardization of the business solution section we describe the elements that have been analysed and standardized through the simulation software to identify additional case studies and provide detailed economic and energy information. Please note that this deliverable refers to information already included in previous deliverables.

description: Retinal artery/vein (A/V) classification lays the foundation for the quantitative analysis of retinal vessels, which is associated with potential risks of various cardiovascular and cerebral diseases. The topological connection relationship, which has been proved effective in improving the A/V classification performance for the conventional graph based method, has not been exploited by the deep learning based method. In this paper, we propose a Topology Ranking Generative Adversarial Network (TR-GAN) to improve the topology connectivity of the segmented arteries and veins, and further to boost the A/V classification performance. A topology ranking discriminator based on ordinal regression is proposed to rank the topological connectivity level of the ground-truth, the generated A/V mask and the intentionally shuffled mask. The ranking loss is further back-propagated to the generator to generate better connected A/V masks. In addition, a topology preserving module with triplet loss is also proposed to extract the high-level topological features and further to narrow the feature distance between the predicted A/V mask and the ground-truth. The proposed framework effectively increases the topological connectivity of the predicted A/V masks and achieves state-of-the-art A/V classification performance on the publicly available AV-DRIVE dataset.

description: We have studied four complex organic molecules (COMs), methyl formate ($CH_3OCHO$), dimethyl ether ($CH_3OCH_3$), formamide ($NH_2CHO$), and ethyl cyanide ($C_2H_5CN$), towards a large sample of 39 high-mass star-forming regions representing different evolutionary stages, from early to evolved phases. We aim to identify potential correlations between the molecules and to trace their evolutionary sequence through the star formation process. We analysed spectra obtained at 3, 2, and 0.9 mm with the IRAM-30m telescope. We derived the main physical parameters for each species by fitting the molecular lines. We compared them and evaluated their evolution, also taking several other interstellar environments into account. We report detections in 20 sources, revealing a clear dust absorption effect on column densities. Derived abundances are ~$10^{-10}-10^{-7}$ for $CH_3OCHO$ and $CH_3OCH_3$, ~$10^{-12}-10^{-10}$ for $NH_2CHO$, and ~$10^{-11}-10^{-9}$ for $C_2H_5CN$. The abundances of $CH_3OCHO$, $CH_3OCH_3$, and $C_2H_5CN$ are very strongly correlated (r>0.92) across ~4 orders of magnitude. $CH_3OCHO$ and $CH_3OCH_3$ show the strongest correlations in most parameters, and a nearly constant ratio (~1) over a remarkable ~9 orders of magnitude in luminosity for a wide variety of sources: pre-stellar to evolved cores, low- to high-mass objects, shocks, Galactic clouds, and comets. This indicates that COMs chemistry is likely early developed and then preserved through evolved phases. Moreover, the molecular abundances clearly increase with evolution. We consider $CH_3OCHO$ and $CH_3OCH_3$ to be most likely chemically linked: they could e.g. share a common precursor, or be formed one from the other. We propose a general scenario for all COMs, involving a formation in the cold, earliest phases of star formation and a following increasing desorption with the progressive heating of the evolving core.

description: Background: Psoriasis is a multifactorial chronic inflammatory disorder of the skin with significant morbidity, characterized by hyper proliferation of the epidermis. Even though psoriasis etiology is not fully understood, it is believed to be multifactorial with numerous key components. Methods: In order to cast light on the complex molecular interactions in psoriasis vulgaris at both protein-protein interactions and transcriptomics levels, we analyzed a set of microarray gene expression analysis consisting of 170 paired lesional and non-lesional samples. Afterwards, a network analysis was conducted on protein-protein interaction network of differentially expressed genes based on micro- and macro-level network metrics at a systemic level standpoint. Results: We found 17 top communicative genes, all of which experimentally proven to be pivotal in psoriasis were identified in two modules, namely, cell cycle and immune system. Intra- and inter-gene interaction subnetworks from the top communicative genes might provide further insight into the corresponding characteristic mechanisms. Conclusions: Potential gene combinations for therapeutic/diagnostics purposes were identified. Moreover, our proposed pipeline could be of interest to a broader range of biological network analysis studies.
The English Channel : subtitle a mixed fishery, but which mix is best?

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Ecopath with Ecosim ecosystem models were built for the English Channel (ICES areas Vlld and VIIe) in 1973 and 1995. The 1973 model was run forwards in time with a timeseries of fishing mortality data to assess how realistically the model predicted the changes in biomass that had occurred. The parameters for both models were modified so that the biomass trends reflected stock assessment data. This "tuning" required slight changes to some of the basic input parameters, and the addition of 5 juvenile groups and 5 functions that forced 8 groups to react to annual mean water temperature. The final 1995 Ecosim model consisted of 50 groups, with nine different fisheries exploiting 31 of these groups. The market price, fleet profitability and jobs/catch value ratio were entered into Ecosim to run policy optimisations. To set extreme boundaries of possible gains from the Channel, initially the computer searched for the economic, social, ecological and rebuilding for recreational species optima. Netting and lining were the most profitable fleets and also had a high jobs/catch value ratio so were significantly increased for the economic and social optima. The ecological and rebuilding optima reduced the fleet to nearly zero. Trade-off frontiers were created by weighting each of the objective functions differently and these, along with the results of RAPFISH, a rapid appraisal technique that determined the sustainability of the fisheries, were used to generate three robust management alternatives that were assumed to be most beneficial to the special interest groups (stakeholders). The effect of climate change was incorporated by running the model for two scenarios where the average sea temperature increased by 0.15 °C and 0.3 °C per decade. Some of the inherent uncertainty of the data was accounted for by varying vulnerabilities, sea temperatures and the discount rate and by using the 'closed loop' optimisation analysis. A discussion of the future management of the Channel followed, suggesting that changes to both the fishing fleet and the European management structure were required for sustainable management of the English Channel.

description: We used red clump stars to measure the surface mass density of the Galactic disk in the solar neighbourhood. High resolution spectra of red clump stars towards the NGP have been obtained with the ELODIE spectrograph at OHP for Tycho-2 selected stars, and nearby Hipparcos counterparts were also observed. We determined their distances, velocities, and metallicities to measure the gravitational force law perpendicular to the Galactic plane. As in most previous studies, we applied one-parameter models of the vertical gravitational potential. We obtained a disk surface mass density within 1.1kpc of the Galactic plane, Sigma_{1.1kpc}=64+/-5 Msun_pc^{-2}, with an excellent formal accuracy, however we found that such one-parameter models can underestimate the real uncertainties. Applying two-parameter models, we derived more realistic estimates of the total surface mass density within 800pc from the Galactic plane, Sigma_{0.8kpc}=57-66 Msun pc^{-2}, and within 1.1kpc, Sigma{1.1kpc}=57-79 Msun pc^{-2}. This can be compared to literature estimates of \sim40 Msun pc^{-2} in stars and to 13 Msun pc^{-2} in the less accurately measured ISM contribution. We conclude that there is no evidence of large amounts of dark matter in the disk and, furthermore, that the dark matter halo is round or not vey much flattened. A by-product of this study is the determination of the half period of oscillation by the Sun through the Galactic plane, 42+/-2Myr, which cannot be related to the possible period of large terrestrial impact craters \sim 33-37Myr.

description: In loop quantum cosmology, a difference equation for the wave function describes the evolution of a universe model. This is different from the differential equations that arise in Wheeler-DeWitt quantizations, and some aspects of general properties of solutions can appear differently. Properties of particular interest are boundedness and the presence of small-scale oscillations. Continued fraction techniques are used to show in different matter models the presence of special initial conditions leading to bounded solutions, and an explicit expression for these initial values is derived.

description: We study quantum dynamical properties of a spin-1 atomic Bose-Einstein condensate in a double-well potential. Adopting a mean field theory and single spatial mode approximation, we characterize our model system as two coupled spins. For certain initial states, we find full magnetization oscillations between wells not accompanied by mass (or atom numbers) exchange. We identify dynamic regimes of collective spin variables arising from nonlinear self-interactions that are different from the usual Josephson oscillations. We also discuss magnetization beats and incomplete oscillations of collective spin variables other than the magnetization. Our study points to an alternative approach to observe coherent tunnelling of a condensate through a (spatial) potential barrier.

description: We present results from the most recent (2002-2004) observing campaigns of the eclipsing system KH 15D, in addition to re-reduced data obtained at Van Vleck Observatory (VVO) between 1995 and 2000. Phasing nine years of photometric data shows substantial evolution in the width and depth of the eclipses. The most recent data indicate that the eclipses are now approximately 24 days in length, or half the orbital period. These results are interpreted and discussed in the context of the recent models for this system put forward by Winn et al. and Chiang & Murray-Clay. A periodogram of the entire data set yields a highly significant peak at 48.37 +/- 0.01 days, which is in accord with the spectroscopic period of 48.38 +/- 0.01 days determined by Johnson et al. Another significant peak, at 9.6 days, was found in the periodogram of the out-of-eclipse data at two different epochs. We interpret this as the rotation period of the visible star and argue that it may be tidally locked in pseudosynchronism with its orbital motion. If so, application of Hut's theory implies that the eccentricity of the orbit is e = 0.65 +/- 0.01. Analysis of the UVES/VLT spectra obtained by Hamilton et al. shows that the v sin(i) of the visible star in this system is 6.9 +/- 0.3 km/sec. Using this value of v sin(i) and the measured rotation period of the star, we calculate the lower limit on the radius to be R = (1.3 +/- 0.1), R_Sun, which concurs with the value obtained by Hamilton et al. from its luminosity and effective temperature. Here we assume that i = 90 degrees since it is likely that the spin and orbital angular momenta vectors are nearly aligned.

description: Do GANs replicate training images? Previous studies have shown that GANs do not seem to replicate training data without significant change in the training procedure. This leads to a series of research on the exact condition needed for GANs to overfit to the training data. Although a number of factors has been theoretically or empirically identified, the effect of dataset size and complexity on GANs replication is still unknown. With empirical evidence from BigGAN and StyleGAN2, on datasets CelebA, Flower and LSUN-bedroom, we show that dataset size and its complexity play an important role in GANs replication and perceptual quality of the generated images. We further quantify this relationship, discovering that replication percentage decays exponentially with respect to dataset size and complexity, with a shared decaying factor across GAN-dataset combinations. Meanwhile, the perceptual image quality follows a U-shape trend w.r.t dataset size. This finding leads to a practical tool for one-shot estimation on minimal dataset size to prevent GAN replication which can be used to guide datasets construction and selection.

description: Stars with masses of >~ 20 solar masses have short Kelvin times that enable them to reach the main sequence while still accreting from their natal clouds. The resulting nuclear burning produces a huge luminosity and a correspondingly large radiation pressure force on dust grains in the accreting gas. This effect may limit the upper mass of stars that can form by accretion. Indeed, simulations and analytic calculations to date have been unable to resolve the mystery of how stars of 50 solar masses and up form. We present two new ideas to solve the radiation pressure problem. First, we use three-dimensional radiation hydrodynamic adaptive mesh refinement simulations to study the collapse of massive cores. We find that in three dimensions a configuration in which radiation holds up an infalling envelope is Rayleigh-Taylor unstable, leading radiation driven bubbles to collapse and accretion to continue. We also present Monte Carlo radiative transfer calculations showing that the cavities created by protostellar winds provides a valve that allow radiation to escape the accreting envelope, further reducing the ability of radiation pressure to inhibit accretion.

description: We investigate the possibility that some respondents to a dichotomous choice question vote YES, even though they would not pay the posted dollar amount in order to register support for the project or policy. A trichotomous choice question format is proposed to determine if allowing respondents the opportunity to vote in favor of a project at an amount less than their bid affects estimated willingness to pay. Using univariate and multivariate tests, we find the trichotomous choice question format reduces the number of YES responses and produces a statistically significant decrease in willingness to pay for an open-space program.

description: Today, with the increasing need for housing and considering the energy crisis and environmental problems, considering the construction of buildings to reduce energy consumption are more important than ever and indigenous architecture as symmetry architecture with climate has provided fundamental solutions. This study aimed first at investigating the climatic indigenous architecture principals of Oramanat in the western part of Iran as a simulation - case study and tries to answer the question “How has local housing in Oramanat region fulfilled its climatic needs?” and “in what ways has this goal been achieved?” Assuming the indigenous architecture is responsive to environmental issues, so in the process of research, it turns into an independent central element. The library and Internet resources and field studies with quantitative and analytical - descriptive approach were first done to collect the required data and study the case studies. Then, the findings were classified into three key stages of comfort, heating and cooling performance by simulating the case study in the environment of Desgn buider2.5 software. Finally, research resulted in common strategies among mountainous villages in Oramanat region for more symmetry architecture with the climate of the region.

description: A formação do professor constantemente é questionada e avaliada, em todos os sentidos, desde o Exame Nacional de Cursos (1996-2003) ao atual Exame Nacional de Desempenho dos Estudantes (2004-até a presente data). Nestes exames, Além do desempenho escolar dos alunos que estão ingressando ou concluindo os cursos de graduação, estão sendo avaliados os conteúdos programáticos dos cursos (BRASIL, 2018), então podemos dizer que os professores estão sendo avaliados também. A formação de professores para a Educação Especial vem sendo normatizada desde a LDB (BRASIL, 1996). A prática mostra que a falta de formação de professores tem levado os alunos a exclusão na escola (DELOU, 2001) e esse fato é frequentemente utilizada como um dos principais argumentos para que os educadores não modifiquem tal cenário de exclusão. O público alvo da Educação Especial é diverso: alunos com deficiências, transtorno global do desenvolvimento e alta habilidades ou superdotação (BRASIL, 2013). A diversidade do público- -alvo mostra a complexidade da formação que prevê não só a formação continuada de professores e especialistas para atuarem nas salas de aulas regulares e nas salas de recursos multifuncionais, professores bilíngues, de Braille, gestores educadores e demais profissionais da escola para a educação na perspectiva da educação inclusiva (BRASIL, 2011). Na vanguarda da formação de professores para atuarem na educação especial na perspectiva da educação inclusiva, e especificamente com alunos com altas habilidades ou superdotação, a Faculdade de Educação da UFF foi a única instituição pública de ensino superior que ofereceu disciplina optativa para o curso de Pedagogia e eletiva para as demais licenciaturas.

description: The BTZ black hole is geometrically finite. This means that its three dimensional hyperbolic structure as encoded in its metric is in 1-1 correspondence with the Teichmuller space of its boundary, which is a two torus. The equivalence of different Teichmuller parameters related by the action of the modular group therefore requires the invariance of the monodromies of the solutions of the wave equation around the inner and outer horizons in the BTZ background. We show that this invariance condition leads to the non-quasinormal mode frequencies discussed by Birmingham and Carlip.

description: This study simulates whether Kansas wheat, soybean, corn, and milo producers could have profitably used deferred futures plus historical basis cash price expectations for post-harvest unhedged and hedged grain storage decisions from 1985-97. The signaled storage decision is compared to a representative Kansas producer whose crop sales mimic average Kansas marketings each year. Using 23 grain price locations, the simulations resulted in an 11 cents per bushel annual increase in grain storage profits for wheat, 27 cents for soybeans, -17 cents for corn, and -20 cents for milo; however, storage profit differences varied substantially across locations. Hedging tended to decrease risk, but not impact profitability.

description: Sales of newly introduced bagged, refrigerated salads grew at over 50% annually, during 1994-95. Consumption of bagged salads displayed marked seasonality despite year-round availability and uniform quality at more stable prices than head lettuce. Using scanner data from 44 areas, a single-equation demand model incorporating the effects of weather on seasonal consumption is estimated. Statistical tests of aggregation indicate that weather-induced seasonality varies significantly across areas, as do own- and cross- price elasticities. Econometric results suggest more seasonality in eating by people living in more northern latitudes, a pattern also observed by psychiatrists studying eating disorders.

description: The control of agricultural nonpoint source pollution is emerging as a priority of state and national pollution control programs. Best management practices (BMPs) are often proposed as a method of control. Many BMPs are perceived by farmers as having economic disadvantages when compared to conventional management systems. In the absence of tougher environmental restrictions on farmer behavior and complete observability of individual farmer actions, it may be necessary to provide economic incentives to encourage farmer adoption of BMPs within environmentally sensitive watersheds. This study investigates the use of a group incentive contract to encourage adoption of BMPs. The idea behind the group incentive contract is to compensate farmers for actual damages due to adoption of BMPs while avoiding moral hazard problems and exploiting the correlated risks that farmers in a watershed face. Simulation results indicate that the majority of the nitrate pollution generated by central Illinois corn growers could eliminated at little or no cost.

Rethinking Maximum Flow Problem and Beamforming Design through Brain-inspired Geometric Lens

description: Increasing data rate in wireless networks can be accomplished through a two-pronged approach, which are 1) increasing the network flow rate through parallel independent routes and 2) increasing the user's link rate through beamforming codebook adaptation. Mobile relays are utilized to enable achieving these goals given their flexible positioning. First at the network level, we model regularized Laplacian matrices, which are symmetric positive definite (SPD) ones representing relay-dependent network graphs, as points over Riemannian manifolds. Inspired by the geometric classification of different tasks in the brain network, Riemannian metrics, such as Log-Euclidean metric (LEM), are utilized to choose relay positions that result in maximum LEM. Simulation results show that the proposed LEM-based relay positioning algorithm enables parallel routes and achieves maximum network flow rate, as opposed to other metrics (e.g., algebraic connectivity). Second at the link level, we design unique relay-dependent beamforming codebooks aimed to increase data rate over the spatially-correlated fading channels between a given relay and its neighboring users. To do so, we propose a geometric machine learning approach, which utilizes support vector machine (SVM) model to learn an SPD variant of the user's channel over Riemannian manifolds. Consequently, LEM-based Riemannian metric is utilized for classification of different channels, and a matched beamforming codebook is constructed accordingly. Simulation results show that the proposed geometric-based learning model achieves the maximum link rate after a short training period.

description: Food safety has become an important issue affecting public health and grower profits. Outbreaks of foodborne illnesses are typically accompanied by press accounts of the incident and a decrease in demand. This study estimates the short- and long-run impacts of adverse and positive information delivered through print media on strawberry grower profits. Positive information may arise as apart of the promotional efforts of grower associations. It is found that adverse information reduces grower profits, but that positive information can partially offset their effects. It is suggested that grower groups could redirect funds used for promotion to food safety initiatives.

description: This paper describes an R package named flare, which implements a family of new high dimensional regression methods (LAD Lasso, SQRT Lasso, $\ell_q$ Lasso, and Dantzig selector) and their extensions to sparse precision matrix estimation (TIGER and CLIME). These methods exploit different nonsmooth loss functions to gain modeling flexibility, estimation robustness, and tuning insensitiveness. The developed solver is based on the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). The package flare is coded in double precision C, and called from R by a user-friendly interface. The memory usage is optimized by using the sparse matrix output. The experiments show that flare is efficient and can scale up to large problems.

description: Depletion of natural resources and pollution of the earth has terminated the more energy consumption by human. Durability of the built environment and reduction of energy consumption are the topics that we are engaged with in sustainable design. If a building is considered with a wide range of applications in a variety of environments, school as an active member is a living community for a group of people and learning sustainable design principles for it can reduce the extent of the consequences of the crisis ahead. On the other hand, the goal of sustainable design is consistency with environment. In this paper, Mazandaran province and the city of Babolsar has been chosen as a temperate and humid region, so the climatic influential factors on sustainable architecture are identified. In this paper, by using library studies, concept of sustainability, sustainable design principles such as human being comfort, a variety of renewable energies, systems of reducing energy consumption, and systems of renewable energy use are recognized. Then, efficiency and performance of systems and design principles are scrutinized for sustainable school and especially in one classroom. In the next step, based on vernacular architecture of Mazandaran and sustainable design principles, systems and efficient design principles are classified. In order to understanding the characteristics of the climate and impact of passive systems, software of weather tool 2011 was used. Consequently, patterns of designing a sustainable schools in the province of Mazandaran, especially in Babolsar, are proposed in two parts: energy consumption reduction systems and renewable energy use systems.

description: Revenue insurance, only recently introduced for major crops in the U.S., has captured a considerable share of the multiple-peril insurance market. This study evaluates the predictive reliability of using price distributions inferred from options markets to rate revenue insurance products. We find for periods early in the crop growing season that price distributions inferred from options trades offer greater reliability than distributions based on historical futures trades. Options-based price distributions should receive further consideration in crop revenue insurance rating, but current administrative constraints must be considered.
