Modeling Multi-object Configurations via Medial/Skeletal Linking Structures
Creators: name: Gasparovic, Ellen
name: Damon, James
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: We introduce a method for modeling a configuration of objects in 2D or 3D images using a mathematical "skeletal linking structure" which will simultaneously capture the individual shape features of the objects and their positional information relative to one another. The objects may either have smooth boundaries and be disjoint from the others or share common portions of their boundaries with other objects in a piecewise smooth manner. These structures include a special class of "Blum medial linking structures," which are intrinsically associated to the configuration and build upon the Blum medial axes of the individual objects. We give a classification of the properties of Blum linking structures for generic configurations. The skeletal linking structures add increased flexibility for modeling configurations of objects by relaxing the Blum conditions and they extend in a minimal way the individual "skeletal structures" which have been previously used for modeling individual objects and capturing their geometric properties. This allows for the mathematical methods introduced for single objects to be significantly extended to the entire configuration of objects. These methods not only capture the internal shape structures of the individual objects but also the external structure of the neighboring regions of the objects.

description: We present characterizations of few-layer titanium trisulfide (TiS3) flakes which, due to their reduced in-plane structural symmetry, display strong anisotropy in their electrical and optical properties. Exfoliated few-layer flakes show marked anisotropy of their in-plane mobilities reaching ratios as high as 7.6 at low temperatures. Based on the preferential growth axis of TiS3 nanoribbons, we develop a simple method to identify the in-plane crystalline axes of exfoliated few-layer flakes through angle resolved polarization Raman spectroscopy. Optical transmission measurements show that TiS3 flakes display strong linear dichroism with a magnitude (transmission ratios up to 30) much greater than that observed for other anisotropic two-dimensional (2D) materials. Finally, we calculate the absorption and transmittance spectra of TiS3 in the random-phase-approximation (RPA) and find that the calculations are in good agreement with the observed experimental optical transmittance.

description: DNA Paternity testing and parental comparison research is a method of stifling DNA grouping to pinpoint techniques for identifying the traits of character, setup, nature, and attributes. In this modern era, computational intelligence has proven to be a vital tool that interprets big biological data. It has big impact in the fields of molecular biology and DNA sequencing applications. This technology of IoT is able to determine best results among the big data in concise time with no errors which contribute to the bioinformatics field and researchers. By using correlation-based clustering and Modified Naive Bayesian Classification to analyze quality succession information, it is possible to separate the detrimental characteristics of diabetes from the vast array of DNA quality arrangement components that are included in the collection of copious quantifiable data. This process aims to validate, choose methods and tools for examining poor quality successions. Additionally, it aids in the accurate and serious characterization and translation of outcomes. For information assessment, this study combines regulated and solo IoT based methods. Although the order is completed by MNBC processes, CBC completes the grouping. Health disorders and their physiognomies are associated with a person's gene expressions in genomics and medical sciences. This analysis of correlation based and SVM classification has a massive influences and applications in genomic sequencing and gene mining. The objective of this research is to identify various gene sequences in biomedical inherent learning especially for data related to paternity analysis and testing. The domain and sub domain used here are analysis of correlation based clustering and SVM classification for gene sequence data analysis respectively. The proposed technology creates gene clusters using correlation-based clustering, which are then used to write association rules that are applied to testing data to filter out the required gene sequences. Finally, in a large dataset, SVM is used as a classification method to identify the class labels of the test gene sequence.

description: The refined similarity hypotheses of Kolmogorov, regarded as an important ingredient of intermittent turbulence, has been tested in the past using one-dimensional data and plausible surrogates of energy dissipation. We employ data from direct numerical simulations, at the microscale Reynolds number $R_λ\sim 650$, on a periodic box of $4096^3$ grid points to test the hypotheses using 3D averages. In particular, we study the small-scale properties of the stochastic variable $V = Δu(r)/(r ε_r)^{1/3}$, where $Δu(r)$ is the longitudinal velocity increment and $ε_r$ is the dissipation rate averaged over a three-dimensional volume of linear size $r$. We show that $V$ is universal in the inertial subrange. In the dissipation range, the statistics of $V$ are shown to depend solely on a local Reynolds number.

description: Human birth presents an abrupt transition from intrauterine to extrauterine life. Here we introduce a novel Maturation Index (MI) that considers the relative importance of gestational age at birth and postnatal age at scan in a General Linear Model. The MI is then applied to Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI) in newborns for characterizing typical white matter development in neonates. DTI was performed cross-sectionally in 47 neonates (gestational age at birth=39.1±1.6 weeks [GA], postnatal age at scan=25.5±12.2days [SA]). Radial diffusivity (RD), axial diffusivity (AD) and fractional anisotropy (FA) along 27 white matter fiber tracts were considered. The MI was used to characterize inflection in maturation at the time of birth using GLM estimated rates of change before and after birth. It is proposed that the sign (positive versus negative) of MI reflects the period of greatest maturation rate. Two general patterns emerged from the MI analysis. First, RD and AD (but not FA) had positive MI on average across the whole brain (average MIAD=0.31±0.42, average MIRD=0.22±0.34). Second, significant regions of negative MI in RD and FA (but not AD) were observed in the inferior corticospinal regions, areas known to myelinate early. Observations using the proposed method are consistent with proposed models of the white matter maturation process in which pre-myelination is described by changes in AD and RD due to oligodendrocyte proliferation while true myelination is characterized by changes in RD and FA due to myelin formation.
Sum rules of Bjorken-Uraltsev type in the Bakamjian-Thomas relativistic quark model

description: The Bakamjian-Thomas relativistic quark model, describing hadrons with a fixed number of constituents, yields in the heavy quark limit of QCD covariant Isgur-Wise functions and satisfies the whole tower of lowest moment sum rules (Bjorken-Uraltsev type sum rules). We first recall, as well as earlier results, the new formalism presented in our recent papers on Lorentz representations, which provide an elegant framework for the analysis of this model in the heavy quark limit and stress the results which have been already obtained in this direction. Then, we give some very explicit demonstrations of the fact that the Bakamjian-Thomas framework satifies the sum rules by considering simple cases of Isgur-Wise functions. In addition to the specific Bjorken and Uraltsev sum rules, an important sum rule that involves only heavy mesons with light cloud $j^P = {1 \over 2}^-$ and their radial excitations is demonstrated. This latter sum rule is phenomenologically interesting because it constrains the derivatives of the radially excited Isgur-Wise functions at zero recoil. On the other hand, we recall the limitations of the Bakamjian-Thomas scheme. At finite mass, current matrix elements with the current coupled to the heavy quark are no longer covariant, and higher moment sum rules that hold in the heavy quark limit of QCD are not satisfied.

description: We report the discovery of HAT-P-56b by the HATNet survey, an inflated hot Jupiter transiting a bright F type star in Field 0 of NASA's K2 mission. We combine ground-based discovery and follow-up light curves with high precision photometry from K2, as well as ground-based radial velocities from TRES on the FLWO 1.5m telescope to determine the physical properties of this system. HAT-P-56b has a mass of $2.18 M_J$, radius of $1.47 R_J$, and transits its host star on a near-grazing orbit with a period of 2.7908 d. The radius of HAT-P-56b is among the largest known for a planet with $M_p > 2 M_J$. The host star has a V-band magnitude of 10.9, mass of 1.30 $M_\odot$, and radius of 1.43 $R_\odot$. The periodogram of the K2 light curve suggests the star is a $γ$ Dor variable. HAT-P-56b is an example of a ground-based discovery of a transiting planet, where space-based observations greatly improve the confidence in the confirmation of its planetary nature, and also improve the accuracy of the planetary parameters.

description: This study examined the relationship between behavioral and psychological aspects of exercise and eating disorder recovery. Participants were categorized as having an eating disorder (n = 53), partially recovered (n = 15), fully recovered (n = 20), or non-eating disorder controls (n = 67). Groups did not differ significantly in time spent exercising, but did differ in exercise intensity, guilt related exercise, obsessive exercise cognitions, and appearance/weight management and stress/mood management motivations for exercise. Results support the importance of measuring psychological aspects of exercise in particular across the course of an eating disorder.

description: A local convergence rate is established for an orthogonal collocation method based on Gauss quadrature applied to an unconstrained optimal control problem. If the continuous problem has a sufficiently smooth solution and the Hamiltonian satisfies a strong convexity condition, then the discrete problem possesses a local minimizer in a neighborhood of the continuous solution, and as the number of collocation points increases, the discrete solution convergences exponentially fast in the sup-norm to the continuous solution. This is the first convergence rate result for an orthogonal collocation method based on global polynomials applied to an optimal control problem.

Occurring rather commonly. This species was described from Brazil. There is no record of its occurrence elsewhere except in Guam. It is the species recorded from Guam by me in 1913 as Echthromorpha continua (Brulle) (?). It was recently studied by R. A. Cushman at the U. S. National Museum, from material sent from Guam by R. G. Oakley. Cushman determined it as Echthromorpha conople~ra Krieger, so named because of the conical protuberance on the mesopleura which distinguishes it from other species. As no other species of Echthromorpha is known to occur in the Western Hemisphere, and as this species was described from only four specimens in the BerlinMuseum, withpartiallyillegiblelabel,itmaybepossiblethattheloc~lity " Brasil " is in error. It will be of great interest to learn of its occurrence in any additional localities.

description: We present results obtained by applying our BAyesian HierArchical Modeling for the Analysis of Supernova cosmology (BAHAMAS) software package to the 740 spectroscopically confirmed supernovae type Ia (SNIa) from the "Joint Light-curve Analysis" (JLA) dataset. We simultaneously determine cosmological parameters and standardization parameters, including host galaxy mass corrections, residual scatter and object-by-object intrinsic magnitudes. Combining JLA and Planck Cosmic Microwave Background data, we find significant discrepancies in cosmological parameter constraints with respect to the standard analysis: we find Omega_M = 0.399+/-0.027, 2.8σ higher than previously reported and w = -0.910+/-0.045, 1.6σ higher than the standard analysis. We determine the residual scatter to be sigma_res = 0.104+/-0.005. We confirm (at the 95% probability level) the existence of two sub-populations segregated by host galaxy mass, separated at log_{10}(M/M_solar) = 10, differing in mean intrinsic magnitude by 0.055+/-0.022 mag, lower than previously reported. Cosmological parameter constraints are however unaffected by inclusion of host galaxy mass corrections. We find ~4σ evidence for a sharp drop in the value of the color correction parameter, beta(z), at a redshift z_trans = 0.662+/-0.055. We rule out some possible explanations for this behaviour, which remains unexplained.

description: Inspired by an article on 50 terms that, in the interest of clarity in scientific reasoning and communication in psychology, psychiatry, and allied fields, "should be avoided or at most be used sparingly and only with explicit caveats,"(1) we propose a list of terms to avoid or think twice about before using when writing for the International Journal of Eating Disorders (IJED). Drawing upon our experience as reviewers or editors for the IJED, we generated an abridged list of such terms. For each term, we explain why it made our list and what alternatives we recommend. We hope that our list will contribute to improved clarity in scientific thinking about eating disorders, and that it will stimulate discussion of terms that may need to be reconsidered in our field's vocabulary to ensure the use of language that is respectful and sensitive to individuals who experience an eating disorder.

description: With this year’s Global Report on Child Labour the International Labour Organization (ILO) adopts a stance of victory. With confidence and pride, it announces that ‘the worldwide movement against child labour’ led by the ILO itself has brought ‘the end of child labour – within reach’. However, no convincing proof is given for this surprising assertion. The numerous illogicalities contained in the report are, rather, calculated to create the impression that the ILO no longer has an idea – or still has none – of how the fight against child labour is to be continued.
Disentangling fathers’ absences from household remittances in international migration: The case of educational attainment in Guatemala

description: Estimating the effects of international migration on left-behind children’s educational attainment is complicated by the potential offsetting effects of fathers’ absences and household remittances. Most research has not separated these aspects of international migration on children’s human capital outcomes. We address this deficiency by using instrumental variables to isolate the effects of fathers’ international migration absences from international household remittances on student enrollment and grade progression in Guatemala. Results indicate that fathers’ absences and household international remittances are negatively related to enrollment, providing evidence for a culture of migration effect. For students who remain in school, household international remittances neutralize the harmful influence of fathers’ absences on grade progression.

description: La mutation H63D du gène HFE ainsi que la β-thalassémie sont deux tares génétiques relativement fréquentes chez les tunisiens. Au cours de ce travail nous nous sommes fixés pour objectif d’étudier l’impact des mutations C282Y et
H63D du gène HFE sur le statut martial chez les β-thalassémiques mineurs tunisiens.
Une population de 61 β-thalassémiques mineurs a été comparée à une population de 62 donneurs de sang sains non apparentés. Le statut martial a été évalué par le dosage de la ferritinémie. L’étude des mutations du gène HFE  (C282Y et HD63D) a été faite par PCR-RFLP (polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment-length polymorphism). Aucune mutation C282Y n’a été retrouvée. La fréquence allélique de la mutation H63D chez les β-thalassémiques mineurs (17,2%) n’était pas différente de celle des témoins (15,5%) (p=0,09). La comparaison des ferritinémies moyennes chez les patients (porteurs ou non de la mutation H63D) et les témoins n’a pas montré de différence statistiquement significative.
Nos résultats suggèrent que la mutation H63D n’est pas fréquente aussi bien chez les β-thalassémiques mineurs que dans la population générale et ne permettent pas de conclure sur l’implication de cette mutation dans la surcharge en fer.

description: In this paper we recall for physicists how it is possible, using the principle of maximization of the Boltzmann-Shannon entropy, to derive the Burr-Bingh-Maddala (burr12) double power law probability distribution function and its approximations (Pareto, loglogistic ..) and extension first used in econometrics. this is possible using a deformation of the power function, as this has been done in complex systems for the exponential function. We give to that distribution a deep stochastic interpretation using the theory of Weron et al. applied to thermodynamics the entropy nonextensivity can be accounted for by assuming that the asymptotic exponents are scale dependent. Therefore functions which describe phenomena presenting power-law asymptotic behaviour can be obtained without introducing exotic forms of the entropy.

description: The failure of the human body to thermoregulate can lead to severe outcomes (e.g., death) and lasting physiological damage. However, heat-related illness (HRI) is highly preventable via individual- and community-level modification. A thorough understanding of the burden is necessary for effective intervention. This paper describes the burden of severe HRI morbidity and mortality among residents of a humid subtropical climate. Work-related and non-work-related HRI emergency department (ED) visits, hospitalizations, and deaths among Florida residents during May to October (2005–2012) were examined. Sub-groups susceptible to HRI were identified. The age-adjusted rates/100,000 person-years for non-work-related HRI were 33.1 ED visits, 5.9 hospitalizations, and 0.2 deaths, while for work-related HRI/100,000 worker-years there were 8.5 ED visits, 1.1 hospitalizations, and 0.1 deaths. The rates of HRI varied by county, data source, and work-related status, with the highest rates observed in the panhandle and south central Florida. The sub-groups with the highest relative rates regardless of data source or work-relatedness were males, minorities, and rural residents. Those aged 15–35 years had the highest ED visit rates, while for non-work-related hospitalizations and deaths the rates increased with age. The results of this study can be used for targeted interventions and evaluating changes in the HRI burden over time.

description: Secondhand smoke exposure (SHS) causes a disproportionate health burden for children, yet existing smoke-free laws are often poorly enforced. We monitored air quality while observing children and adult nonsmokers present in public venues during Ramadan, a period of Muslim religious observance marked by family and social gatherings, in Jakarta, Indonesia. A repeated-measures design was used to assess indoor air quality during and after Ramadan in 43 restaurants and in five smoke-free control venues. Fine particulate matter of 2.5 microns or less (PM2.5) was sampled. The average number of children and active smokers present in each venue was also observed. PM2.5 levels were significantly higher during Ramadan (mean 86.5 µg/m3) compared with post-Ramadan (mean 63.2 µg/m3) in smoking venues (p = 0.015). During Ramadan, there were more active smokers (p = 0.012) and children (p = 0.051) observed in venues where smoking occurred, compared with the same venues post-Ramadan. Poor enforcement of the smoke-free law in Jakarta has failed to protect children from SHS exposure in public venues during Ramadan. Collaboration between the government, NGOs (such as the Indonesian Cancer Foundation (YKI) and the Smoking Control Foundation (LM3)), religious leaders, and venue owners and managers must be developed to ensure that the comprehensive smoking bans apply to all venues, and that smoke-free laws are enforced.

description: The use of porous ceramic filters is promoted globally for household water treatment, but these filters are ineffective in removing viruses from water. In order to increase virus removal, we combine a promising natural coagulant, chitosan, as a pretreatment for ceramic water filters (CWFs) and evaluate the performance of this dual barrier water treatment system. Chitosan is a non-toxic and biodegradable organic polymer derived by simple chemical treatments from chitin, a major source of which is the leftover shells of crustacean seafoods, such as shrimp, prawns, crabs, and lobsters. To determine the effectiveness of chitosan, model test water was contaminated with Escherichia coli K011 and coliphage MS2 as a model enteric bacterium and virus, respectively. Kaolinite clay was used to model turbidity. Coagulation effectiveness of three types of modified chitosans was determine at various doses ranging from 5 to 30 mg/L, followed by flocculation and sedimentation. The pre-treated supernatant water was then decanted into the CWF for further treatment by filtration. There were appreciable microbial removals by chitosan HCl, acetate, and lactate pretreatment followed by CWF treatment, with mean reductions (95% CI) between 4.7 (±1.56) and 7.5 (±0.02) log10 for Escherichia coli, and between 2.8 (±0.10) and 4.5 (±1.04) log10 for MS2. Turbidity reduction with chitosan treatment and filtration consistently resulted in turbidities < 1 NTU, which meet turbidity standards of the US EPA and guidance by the World Health Organization (WHO). According to WHO health-based microbial removal targets for household water treatment technology, chitosan coagulation achieved health protective targets for both viruses and bacteria. Therefore, the results of this study support the use of chitosan to improve household drinking water filtration processes by increasing virus and bacteria reductions.
Cosmic Reionization On Computers. Mean and Fluctuating Redshifted 21 cm Signal

description: We explore the mean and fluctuating redshifted 21 cm signal in numerical simulations of cosmic reionization from the Cosmic Reionization On Computers (CROC) project. We find that the mean signal varies between about $\pm20\rm{mK}$. Most significantly, we find that the negative pre-reionization dip at $z\sim10-15$ only extends to $\langleΔT_B\rangle\sim-20\rm{mK}$, in agreement with prior simulation results and in significant contrast to Pritchard & Loeb analytical model, requiring substantially higher sensitivity from global signal experiments that operate in this redshift range (EDGES-II, LEDA, SCI-HI, and DARE). We also explore the role of dense substructure (filaments and embedded galaxies) in the formation of 21 cm power spectrum. We find that by neglecting the semi-neutral substructure inside ionized bubbles, the power spectrum can be mis-estimated by 25-50\% at scales $k\sim 0.1-1h\rm{Mpc}^{-1}$. This scale range is of a particular interest, because the upcoming 21 cm experiments (MWA, PAPER, HERA) are expected to be most sensitive within it.

description: Smoke and tobacco-free policies on hospital campuses have become more prevalent across the U.S. and Europe, de-normalizing smoking and reducing secondhand smoke exposure on hospital grounds. Concerns about the increasing use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) and the impact of such use on smoke and tobacco-free policies have arisen, but to date, no systematic data describes e-cigarette policies on hospital campuses. The study surveyed all hospitals in North Carolina (n = 121) to assess what proportion of hospitals have developed e-cigarette policies, how policies have been implemented and communicated, and what motivators and barriers have influenced the development of e-cigarette regulations. Seventy-five hospitals (62%) completed the survey. Over 80% of hospitals reported the existence of a policy regulating the use of e-cigarettes on campus and roughly half of the hospitals without a current e-cigarette policy are likely to develop one within the next year. Most e-cigarette policies have been incorporated into existing tobacco-free policies with few reported barriers, though effective communication of e-cigarette policies is lacking. The majority of hospitals strongly agree that e-cigarette use on campus should be prohibited for staff, patients, and visitors. Widespread incorporation of e-cigarette policies into existing hospital smoke and tobacco-free campus policies is feasible but needs communication to staff, patients, and visitors.

description: Information and communications technologies (ICTs) such as mobile survey tools (MSTs) can facilitate field-level data collection to drive improvements in national and international development programs. MSTs allow users to gather and transmit field data in real time, standardize data storage and management, automate routine analyses, and visualize data. Dozens of diverse MST options are available, and users may struggle to select suitable options. We developed a systematic MST Evaluation Framework (EF), based on International Organization for Standardization/International Electrotechnical Commission (ISO/IEC) software quality modeling standards, to objectively assess MSTs and assist program implementers in identifying suitable MST options. The EF is applicable to MSTs for a broad variety of applications. We also conducted an MST user survey to elucidate needs and priorities of current MST users. Finally, the EF was used to assess seven MSTs currently used for water and sanitation monitoring, as a validation exercise. The results suggest that the EF is a promising method for evaluating MSTs.
Importance of Fermi Surface Topology for In-Plane Resistivity Anisotropy in Hole- and Electron-Doped Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$TM$_{x}$)$_2$As$_2$ (TM=Cr, Mn and Co)

description: The in-plane anisotropy of resistivity has been investigated for Ba(Fe$_{1-x}$TM$_{x}$)$_2$As$_2$ (TM-Ba122, TM$=$Cr, Mn, and Co) where the substitution sites are the same but the doped carriers are different for different TM elements. The Hall coefficient measurements indicated that hole carriers are effectively doped by Cr substitution but not by Mn substitution. It has been found that the resistivity difference $Δρ=ρ_{\rm b}-ρ_{\rm a}$ in the antiferromagnetic-orthorhombic (AFO) phase of Cr-Ba122 is initially positive but it turns to negative with increasing Cr content, whereas the positive $Δρ$ monotonically increases with Mn substitution in Mn-Ba122. In the paramagnetic-tetragonal phase, $Δρ$ is always positive, but it decreases with substitution in Cr-Ba122, in contrast to the electron-doped case. These results demonstrate that the resistivity anisotropy exhibits electron-hole asymmetry in both AFO and nematic phases and that it depends on the Fermi surface topology whether the carrier scattering results in a positive or negative $Δρ$.
