description: Pedestrian navigation is readily enabled by GPS in outdoor environments. However, there are many locations - such as indoors, urban canyons and underground - where the GPS signal is unreliable or unavailable. Compact inertial navigation, through the use of MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes, has been applied to a pedestrian’s shoes as a means to navigate without GPS. MEMS inertial technology has issues with sensor bias drift, causing significant navigational errors. Simulations by Brand and Phillips and experimental results from Laverne et al. have shown that the addition of a scalar range between shoes can constrain this error growth. A shoe ranging sensor (SRS) using radar technology, due to its relative insensitivity to environmental factors such as dirt and dust, will be applied to provide this scalar range. Commercially available radars generally operate over longer ranges (>> 1 m) and relatively course accuracy (>1 cm). This dissertation proposes stepped frequency continuous wave (SFCW) modulation will fill the technology gap and provide a ranging solution with <1 cm RMS accuracy in a 1 m range. The SRS architecture is extended using time division multiplexing to generate multiple ranges for estimating relative shoe heading. Theoretical limits on SFCW and combined CW ranging accuracy are derived. A ray-tracing channel model is developed for SRS simulation to analyze ranging performance on different surfaces, antennas and ranging algorithms (Fourier and Prony estimation). The channel model extends the Friis transmission equation to include propagation phase and develops a method to calculate phase from arbitrary antenna polarization and orientation. Measurements performed validate channel model and demonstrate antenna limited sub-cm ranging performance on metal, concrete and anechoic foam. Walking tests of the SRS co-mounted with an acoustic range sensor show good agreement.

description: The simplest model that can accomodate a viable nonbaryonic dark matter candidate is the standard electroweak theory with the addition of right-handed or sterile neutrinos. We reexamine this model and find that the sterile neutrinos can be either hot, warm, or cold dark matter. Since their only direct coupling is to left-handed or active neutrinos, the most efficient production mechanism is via neutrino oscillations. If the production rate is always less than the expansion rate, then these neutrinos will never be in thermal equilibrium. However, enough of them may be produced so that they provide the missing mass necessary for closure. We consider a single generation of neutrino fields $\left (ν_L,\,ν_R\right )$ with a Dirac mass, $μ$, and a Majorana mass for the right-handed components only, $M$. For $M\gg μ$ we show that the number density of sterile neutrinos is proportional to $μ^2/M$ so that the energy density today is {\it independent of} $M$. However $M$ is crucial in determining the large scale structure of the Universe. In particular, $M\simeq 0.1-1.0 {\rm ~keV}$ leads to warm dark matter and a structure formation scenario that may have some advantages over both the standard hot and cold dark matter scenarios.

description: Objective: Current and future estimates of the burden of diabetes for the Western Pacific (WP) region are among the highest in the world. Verifying Insulin Strategy and Initial Health Outcome Analysis (VISION) was an 18 month observational study that explored treatment approaches in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) initiating insulin in the WP region. Methods: A total of 1065 patients aged ≥18 years with T2DM initiating insulin therapy in normal clinical course were enrolled from Hong Kong, Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand. Participants’ data was recorded by the treating physicians. Patient-reported outcomes (PROs) were assessed using questionnaires completed by participants. Results: The mean age of patients was 57.2 years with mean glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) of 10.0%. About 66% of patients had an HbA1c ≥9.0% at insulin initiation despite 74% of them being on two or more oral antidiabetic agents at the time of insulin initiation. Basal insulin was initiated in 72% and premixed insulin in 27% of patients. Changes in insulin therapy was observed in 63% of patients and, by the end of study, 28% achieved HbA1c levels of <7.5%. The proportion of patients completely satisfied with their insulin treatment increased over the study course and the quality of life (QoL) score increased from baseline to the study end. Conclusion: As high HbA1C levels indicate a delayed start of insulin therapy, timely initiation and early intensification of insulin therapy is necessary in the region to achieve adequate glycemic control in time and prevent diabetes complications. Data from PROs suggests that the insulin treatment improves QoL in most patients.

description: Generalizing the original work by Hodges and Blumenthal, we outline a formalism which allows one, in principle, to reconstruct the potential of the inflaton field from knowledge of the tensor gravitational wave spectrum or the scalar density fluctuation spectrum, with special emphasis on the importance of the tensor spectrum. We provide some illustrative examples of such reconstruction. We then discuss in some detail the question of whether one can use real observations to carry out this procedure. We conclude that in practice, a full reconstruction of the functional form of the potential will not be possible within the foreseeable future. However, with a knowledge of the dark matter components, it should soon be possible to combine intermediate-scale data with measurements of large-scale cosmic microwave background anisotropies to yield useful information regarding the potential.

Theory and Numerics of Two Synchronized Oscillators

Subjects: Physics

description: Coupled oscillators are used to model systems such as arrays of lasers or detectors whose response is combined to increase signal strength. I investigated a systems of two coupled oscillators using a model incorporating features such as reactive (non-dissipative) force couplings and amplitude-dependent frequencies. I employed careful numerical simulations to build up intuition about the various behaviors of the model and then studied the model analytically to determine regions of synchronization, a phenomenon in which many oscillators lock their relative phase or frequency to a common equilibrium value. The result of this investigation can be used to motivate the choice of parameter values (such as spread of intrinsic frequencies or coupling strength) of small systems of nanomechanical oscillators currently being designed by Matt Matheny in the Roukes laboratory at Caltech.
Evidence for Strain Induced Conductance Modulations in Single-Layered Graphene on SO2

description: The unique physical properties of graphene and its potential uses in nanoscale devices make it a compelling subject of study^1. Graphene, a two dimensional crystal which consists of a single layer of carbon atoms bonded together in a hexagonal lattice, has a conical band structure at low energies. Therefore, the charge carriers of graphene obey the Dirac equation for relativistic particles and can be thought of as massless Dirac fermions 1,2,3 However, recent scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) studies of graphene on silicon dioxide substrates have found corrugations in the graphene samples, and more importantly have observed deviations in the tunneling spectra from the expected Dirac-like behavior ^(4,5,6). Several possible explanations exists for this observed deviation from Diraclike behavior, including phonon-mediated inelastic tunneling 4,7, charge impurities 6, and changes to the band structure to due the underlying substrate 8. We present scanning tunneling spectroscopy and microscopy data of graphene on a silicon dioxide substrate at a temperature of 77 K. The topographical studies reveal surface corrugations in graphene due to rippling and partial conformation to the underlying silicon dioxide substrate. In the tunneling spectra, a deviation from the expected Dirac-like behavior is observed. A lack of correlation between the Dirac voltage and conductance maps at a low bias voltage indicates charge impurities are not the primary cause for deviations from Dirac-like behavior. A strain map is computed from the topography and green's functions are fitted to estimate the contribution of phonon coupling to the tunneling conductance. We find that regions of higher strain correspond to higher phonon frequencies, indicating that phonon-mediated inelastic tunneling is a major contributor to the deviation from Dirac-like behavior found in tunneling spectra.

description: The wide application of fluid injection has caused a concern of the potential critical risk associated with induced seismicity. To help clarify the concern, this dissertation proposes a statistical approach for assessing seismic transitions associated with fluid injections by scientifically analyzing instrumental measures of seismic events. The assessment problem is challenging due to the uncertain effects of wastewater injections on regional seismicity, along with the limited availability of seismic and injection data. To overcome the challenge, three statistical methods are developed, with each being focused on a different aspect of the problem. Specifically, a statistical method is developed for early detection of induced seismicity, with the potential of allowing for site managers and regulators to act promptly and preparing communities for the increased seismic risk; the second method aims for addressing the further need of quantitatively assessing the transition of induced seismicity, which can reveal the underlying process of induced seismicity and provide data to support probabilistic seismic hazard analysis; and finally, the third method steps further to characterize the process of spatial distribution of induced seismicity, which accounts for spatial evolution of induced seismicity. All the proposed methods are built on the principles of Bayesian technique, which provides a flexible inference framework to incorporate domain expertise and data uncertainty. The effectiveness of the proposed methods is demonstrated using the earthquake dataset for the state of Oklahoma, which shows a promising result: the detection method is able to issue warning of induced seismicity well before the occurrence of severe consequences; the transition model provides a significantly better fit to the dataset than the classical model and sheds light on the underlying transition of induced seismicity in Oklahoma; and the spatio-temporal model provides a most comprehensive characterization of the dataset in terms of its spatial and temporal properties and is shown to have a much better short-term forecasting performance than the “naïve methods”. The proposed methods can be used in combination as a decision-making support tool to identify areas with increasing levels of seismic risk in a quantitative manner, supporting a comprehensive assessment to decide which risk-mitigation strategy should be recommended.

description: We use numerical simulations to model the migration of massive planets at small radii and compare the results with the known properties of 'hot Jupiters' (extrasolar planets with semi-major axes a < 0.1 AU). For planet masses Mp sin i > 0.5 MJup, the evidence for any `pile-up' at small radii is weak (statistically insignificant), and although the mass function of hot Jupiters is deficient in high mass planets as compared to a reference sample located further out, the small sample size precludes definitive conclusions. We suggest that these properties are consistent with disc migration followed by entry into a magnetospheric cavity close to the star. Entry into the cavity results in a slowing of migration, accompanied by a growth in orbital eccentricity. For planet masses in excess of 1 Jupiter mass we find eccentricity growth timescales of a few x 10^5 years, suggesting that these planets may often be rapidly destroyed. Eccentricity growth appears to be faster for more massive planets which may explain changes in the planetary mass function at small radii and may also predict a pile-up of lower mass planets, the sample of which is still incomplete.

description: On-farm evaluation and pre-extension of elephant grass varieties (Zehone-02 and Zehone-03) were conducted in a mixed farming system in two districts (Shashemene and Wondo) in the West Arsi zone Oromia regional state in Ethiopia. Two representative peasant associations were selected from each district based on forage production potential and accessibility to field monitoring and visits. Ten farmers willing to accept and disseminate technology were purposefully selected from each peasant association and grouped into farmer research groups. In each farmer research group, four hosting farmers were selected, with the rest being participant/visiting farmers in each kebele. Hosting farmers were selected based on their ownership of suitable and sufficient land to accommodate trials, proximity to roads to facilitate the chance of being visited by many stakeholders, ability to manage planted crops, and willingness to share their knowledge and experience with others. One potential farmer training center in each district was used as a trial and demonstration site as well as a source of planting material for the future. Two elephant grass varieties (Zehone-02 and Zehone-03) were evaluated and visited at the farmers’ training center with a plot size of 10 m × 10 m in each district. The number of tillers per plant, plant height at harvest, total fresh biomass yield, and total dry matter yield were all recorded in the second year of planting, whereas the plant survival rate was noted in the first. The findings showed that the plant survival rate, number of tillers per plant, and plant height at harvest did not significantly differ between the two tested varieties. In terms of forage yield, Zehone- 02 gave a higher amount of total fresh biomass yield (44.05 tons ha-1) and (12.71 tons ha-1) total dry matter yield, while Zehone-03 produced (37.20 tons ha-1) and (10.66 tons ha-1) total fresh biomass yield and total dry matter yield at the study site. Based on the performance of the varieties and visiting farmers’ feedback, further large-scale scaling of the two varieties should be conducted in the study area and areas with similar agro-ecologies.
A Spreadsheet Model for Using Web Services and Creating Data-Driven Applications

description: Web services have made many kinds of data and computing services available. However, to use web services often requires significant programming efforts and thus limits the people who can take advantage of them to only a small group of skilled programmers. In this dissertation, I will present a tool called Gneiss that extends the spreadsheet model to support four challenging aspects of using web services: programming two-way data communications with web services, creating interactive GUI applications that use web data sources, using hierarchical data, and using live streaming data. Gneiss contributes innovations in spreadsheet languages, spreadsheet user interfaces and interaction techniques to allow programming tasks that currently require writing complex, lengthy code to instead be done using familiar spreadsheet mechanisms. Spreadsheets are arguably the most successful and popular data tools among people of all programming levels. This work advances the use of spreadsheets to new domains and could benefit a wide range of users from professional programmers to end-user programmers.

description: The jet-jet profile, or detailed manner, in which transverse energy and mass are distributed around the jet-jet system resulting from the hadronic decay of a $Z$ boson in the process Higgs$\to ZZ$ at a proton-proton collider energy of $40\tev$ is carefully examined. Two observables are defined that can be used to help distinguish the $\ell^+\ell^-$-jet-jet signal from Higgs decay from the ``ordinary'' QCD background arising from the large transverse momentum production of single $Z$ bosons plus the associated jets. By making cuts on these observables, signal to background enhancement factors greater than $100$ can be obtained.

description: We show that the spatial dimensionality of the quantum critical point associated with Bose--Einstein condensation at T=0 is reduced when the underlying lattice comprises a set of layers coupled by a frustrating interaction. For this purpose, we use an heuristic mean field approach that is complemented and justified by a more rigorous renormalization group analysis. Due to the presence of an emergent symmetry, i.e. a symmetry of the ground state that is absent in the underlying Hamiltonian, a three--dimensional interacting Bose system undergoes a chemical potential tuned quantum phase transition that is strictly two dimensional. Our theoretical predictions for the critical temperature as a function of the chemical potential correspond very well with recent measurements in BaCuSi$_{2}$O$_{6}$.
A Spectro-Temporal Framework for Compensation of Reverberation for Speech Recognition

description: The objective of this thesis is the development of signal processing and analysis techniques that would provide sharply improved speech recognition accuracy in highly reverberant environments. Speech is a natural medium of communication for humans, and in the last decade various speech technologies like automatic speech recognition (ASR), voice response systems etc. have considerably matured. The above systems rely on the clarity of the captured speech but many of the real-world environments include noise and reverberation that mitigate the system performance. The key focus of the thesis is on the robustness of ASR to reverberation. In our work, we first provide a new framework to adequately and efficiently represent the problem of reverberation in speech feature domains. Although our framework incurs modeling approximation errors, we believe that it provides a good basis for developing reverberation compensation algorithms. Based on our framework, we successfully develop a number of dereverberation algorithms. The algorithms reduce the uncertainly involved in dereverberation tasks by using speech knowledge in terms of cepstral auto-correlation, cepstral distribution, and, non-negativity and sparsity of spectral values. We demonstrate the success of our algorithms on clean-training as well as matched-training. Apart from dereverberation, we also provide an approach for noise robustness via a temporal-difference operation in the speech spectral domain. There, via a theoretical analysis, we predict an expected improvement in the SNR threshold shift for whitenoise conditions. We also empirically quantify and study speech-feature level distortion with respect to speech-signal level additive noise. Finally, we provide a new framework for a joint reverberation and noise representation and compensation. The new framework generalizes the spectral domain reverberation framework by incorporating an additive noise term. Working under the new framework, we combine our dereverberation and noise compensation approaches for better dereverberation as well as for the most challenging speech recognition task that includes both noise and reverberation components.

Thermal Balance in the Intracluster Medium: Is AGN Feedback Necessary?

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007

description: A variety of physical heating mechanisms are combined with radiative cooling to explore, via one dimensional hydrodynamic simulations, the expected thermal properties of the intracluster medium (ICM) in the context of the cooling flow problem. Energy injection from type Ia supernovae, thermal conduction, and dynamical friction (DF) from orbiting satellite galaxies are considered. The novel feature of this work is the exploration of a wide range of efficiencies of each heating process. While the latter two can provide a substantial amount of energy, neither mechanism operating alone can produce nor maintain an ICM in thermal balance over cosmological timescales, in stark contrast with observations. For simulated clusters with initially isothermal temperature profiles, both mechanisms acting in combination result in long-term thermal balance for a range of ICM temperatures and for central electron densities less than n_e~0.02 cm^-3; at greater densities catastrophic cooling invariably occurs. Furthermore, these heating mechanisms can neither produce nor maintain clusters with a declining temperature profile in the central regions, implying that the observed "cooling-core'' clusters, which have such declining temperature profiles, cannot be maintained with these mechanisms alone. Thus, while there appears to be an abundant supply of energy capable of heating the ICM in clusters, it is extremely difficult for the energy deposition to occur in such a way that the ICM remains in thermal balance over cosmological time-scales. These results strongly suggest that a more dynamic heating process such as feedback from a central black hole is required to generate the properties of observed intracluster media. (ABRIDGED)

Our procedure can be used to compute any correlation function on the sphere as well as some correlation functions at higher genus. We derive new and simpler recursion relations that extend previously known results based on W constraints. In addition, we compute an effective contact algebra with multiple contacts that extends Verlindes' algebra. Computational techniques based on the KdV approach are developed and used to compute the same correlation functions. A simple and elegant proof of the puncture equation derived directly from the KdV equations is included. We hope that this approach can lead to a deeper understanding of D=1 quantum gravity and non-critical string theory.

description: Background: Venous thromboembolism (VTE) comprises deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) and is associated with significant recurrence and mortality risk. Standard VTE treatment includes at least 3 months anticoagulation. The objective was to describe time trends in the duration of oral anticoagulation in patients initially treated with vitamin K antagonists (VKAs). Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients with first VTE and VKA treatment initiation within 30 days, identified from the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink from 2001 to 2014. VKA users were followed for the duration of oral anticoagulation which included switching to non-VKA oral anticoagulants. The probability of remaining on anticoagulation treatment (persistence) was estimated using Kaplan–Meier survival functions. Results: A total of 16,018 patients with VTE initiated VKA; 48.2% males, mean age 62.1 years, median VKA treatment duration 6.5 months. The 90-day persistence increased from 75.6% in 2001 to 91.2% in 2013 (p p p Conclusions: The increase in persistence was independent of the presentation of the first VTE (provoked or unprovoked), but higher for first PE. Whether the increasing persistence resulted in decreasing risk of recurrent VTE needs to be confirmed.

description: We consider a clean two-dimensional interacting electron gas subject to a random perpendicular magnetic field, h({\bf r}). The field is nonquantizing, in the sense, that {\cal N}_h-a typical flux into the area λ_{\text{\tiny F}}^2 in the units of the flux quantum (λ_{\text{\tiny F}} is the de Broglie wavelength) is small, {\cal N}_h\ll 1. If the spacial scale, ξ, of change of h({\bf r}) is much larger than λ_{\text{\tiny F}}, the electrons move along semiclassical trajectories. We demonstrate that a weak field-induced curving of the trajectories affects the interaction-induced electron lifetime in a singular fashion: it gives rise to the correction to the lifetime with a very sharp energy dependence. The correction persists within the interval ω\sim ω_0= E_{\text{\tiny F}}{\cal N}_h^{2/3} much smaller than the Fermi energy, E_{\text{\tiny F}}. It emerges in the third order in the interaction strength; the underlying physics is that a small phase volume \sim (ω/E_{\text{\tiny F}})^{1/2} for scattering processes, involving {\em two} electron-hole pairs, is suppressed by curving. Even more surprising effect that we find is that {\em disorder-averaged} interaction correction to the density of states, δν(ω), exhibits {\em oscillatory} behavior, periodic in \bigl(ω/ω_0\bigr)^{3/2}. In our calculations of interaction corrections random field is incorporated via the phases of the Green functions in the coordinate space. We discuss the relevance of the new low-energy scale for realizations of a smooth random field in composite fermions and in disordered phase of spin-fermion model of ferromagnetic quantum criticality.

description: As the fraction of integrated circuit area dedicated to embedded memory continues to increase, the energy spent for transporting data on-chip becomes increasingly larger than the energy needed to perform computation, thereby creating system-level challenges for data-intensive application-domains. One effective approach for this challenge is to use Logic-in-Memory (LiM) blocks, whereby custom application-specific logic is embedded within the memory block to significantly improve the system’s energy, performance, and area efficiency. Recent studies on technology scaling below the 20nm node demonstrate that extremely restrictive patterning enables the automated synthesis of LiM systems by the use of compatible logic and memory patterns. While in-memory processing architectures have been proposed and successfully built for various applications, this dissertation aims to exploit the extremely restrictive patterning to create an end-to-end design methodology for automated synthesis of application-specific LiM blocks. The LiM synthesis methodology eliminates all the full-custom design effort that is inherently needed to build a LiM block, thereby enabling the co-design of algorithms and hardware at an affordable design cost that would be otherwise impractical. Silicon results for two data-intensive applications demonstrate that systems based on synthesized LiM designs can provide dramatic improvements of one to two orders of magnitude of energy and performance efficiency. This methodology further enables rapid design-space exploration for the overall LiM based system by making customization efficient and robust with no extra design-cost. This dissertation attempts to formulate, implement, and validate a novel design methodology that provides automated synthesis of application-specific LiM blocks.

description: Purpose: Patients with apparent treatment-resistant hypertension (a-TRH) are often poorly adherent to drug treatment and have an unusual personal history and psychological profile. The aim of this study was to identify predictors of drug adherence and drug resistance in a cohort of patients with aTRH, with emphasis on psychological characteristics. Methods: All patients with confirmed aTRH on standardized antihypertensive treatment were eligible. Drug adherence was assessed by drug dosages in urine using Liquid Chromatography coupled with tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Drug resistance was assessed by 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure adjusted for the number of antihypertensive drugs and for drug adherence. Psychological profile was assessed using a broad array of validated questionnaires. Results: The analysis included 35 consecutive patients. The proportion of adherent, partly adherent and totally non-adherent patients was 29, 40 and 31%, respectively. In regression analysis, independent predictors of poor drug adherence were recent hospital admission for hypertension, a lower ability to put things into perspective when facing negative events and a higher tendency to somatize, accounting for 51% of variability in drug adherence. Independent predictors of treatment resistance were a higher recourse to the strategies of blaming others and oneself, accounting for 37% of variability in drug treatment resistance. Conclusion: In patients with aTRH, poor adherence is frequent but does not entirely account for treatment resistance. Psychological characteristics appear as strong predictors of both drug adherence and drug resistance. Our results suggest that therapeutic drug monitoring and psychological evaluation should be an integral part of assessment of patients with aTRH.

description: We show that an integral transform of the fluctuations of the collective field of the $d=1$ matrix model satisfy the same linearized equation as that of the massless "tachyon" in the black hole background of the two dimensional critical string. This suggests that the $d=1$ matrix model may provide a non-perturbative description of black holes in two dimensional string theory.

One-Loop Analysis of the Electroweak Breaking in Supersymmetric Models and the Fine-Tuning Problems

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We examine the electroweak breaking mechanism in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) using the {\em complete} one-loop effective potential $V_1$. First, we study what is the region of the whole MSSM parameter space (i.e. $M_{1/2},m_o,μ,...$) that leads to a succesful $SU(2)\times U(1)$ breaking with an acceptable top quark mass. In doing this it is observed that all the one-loop corrections to $V_1$ (even the apparently small ones) must be taken into account in order to get reliable results. We find that the allowed region of parameters is considerably enhanced with respect to former "improved" tree level results. Next, we study the fine-tuning problem associated with the high sensitivity of $M_Z$ to $h_t$ (the top Yukawa coupling). Again, we find that this fine-tuning is appreciably smaller once the one-loop effects are considered than in previous tree level calculations. Finally, we explore the ambiguities and limitations of the ordinary criterion to estimate the degree of fine-tuning. As a result of all this, the upper bounds on the MSSM parameters, and hence on the supersymmetric masses, are substantially raised, thus increasing the consistency between supersymmetry and observation.

description: Aims: We performed deep optical observations of the field of an old, fast-moving radio pulsar PSR B1133+16 in an attempt to detect its optical counterpart and a bow shock nebula. Methods: The observations were carried out using the direct imaging mode of FORS1 at the ESO VLT/UT1 telescope in the B, R, and H_alpha bands. We also used archival images of the same field obtained with the VLT in the B band and with the Chandra/ACIS in X-rays. Results: In the B band we detected a faint (B=28.1+/-0.3) source that may be the optical counterpart of PSR B1133+16, as it is positionally consistent with the radio pulsar and with the X-ray counterpart candidate published earlier. Its upper limit in the R band implies a color index B-R <0.5, which is compatible with the index values for most pulsars identified in the optical range. The derived optical luminosity and its ratio to the X-ray luminosity of the candidate are consistent with expected values derived from a sample of pulsars detected in both spectral domains. No Balmer bow shock was detected, implying a low density of ambient matter around the pulsar. However, in the X-ray and H_alpha images we found the signature of a trail extending ~4"-5" behind the pulsar and coinciding with the direction of its proper motion. If confirmed by deeper studies, this is the first time such a trail has been seen in the optical and X-ray wavelengths. Conclusions: Further observations at later epochs are necessary to confirm the identification of the pulsar by the candidate's proper motion measurements.
