description: In this paper, we propose two efficient, approximate formulations of the multi-sensor labelled multi-Bernoulli (LMB) filter, which both allow the sensors' measurement updates to be computed in parallel. Our first filter is based on the direct mathematical manipulation of the multi-sensor, multi-object Bayes filter's posterior distribution. Unfortunately, it requires the division of probability distributions and its extension beyond linear Gaussian applications is not obvious. Our second filter is based on geometric average fusion and it approximates the multi-sensor, multi-object Bayes filter's posterior distribution using the geometric average of each sensor's measurement-updated distribution. This filter can be used under non-linear conditions; however, it is not as accurate as our first filter. In both cases, we approximate the LMB filter's measurement update using an existing loopy belief propagation algorithm. Both filters have a constant complexity in the number of sensors, and linear complexity in both number of measurements and objects. This is an improvement on an iterated-corrector LMB (IC-LMB) filter, which has linear complexity in the number of sensors. The proposed filters are of interest when tracking many objects using several sensors, where filter run-time is more important than filter accuracy. We evaluate both filters' performances on simulated data and the results indicate that the filters' loss of accuracy compared to the IC-LMB filter is not significant.

description: Road accident can be triggered by wet road because it decreases skid resistance. To prevent the road accident, detecting road surface abnomality is highly useful. In this paper, we propose the deep learning based cost-effective real-time anomaly detection architecture, naming with non-compression auto-encoder (NCAE). The proposed architecture can reflect forward and backward causality of time series information via convolutional operation. Moreover, the above architecture shows higher anomaly detection performance of published anomaly detection model via experiments. We conclude that NCAE as a cutting-edge model for road surface anomaly detection with 4.20\% higher AUROC and 2.99 times faster decision than before.

description: In this paper, we address the problem of direction finding using coprime array, which is one of the most preferred sparse array configurations. Motivated by the fact that non-uniform element spacing hinders full utilization of the underlying information in the receive signals, we propose a direction-of-arrival (DoA) estimation algorithm based on low-rank reconstruction of the Toeplitz covariance matrix. The atomic-norm representation of the measurements from the interpolated virtual array is considered, and the equivalent dual-variable rank minimization problem is formulated and solved using a cyclic optimization approach. The recovered covariance matrix enables the application of conventional subspace-based spectral estimation algorithms, such as MUSIC, to achieve enhanced DoA estimation performance. The estimation performance of the proposed approach, in terms of the degrees-of-freedom and spatial resolution, is examined. We also show the superiority of the proposed method over the competitive approaches in the root-mean-square error sense.

description: Machine learning-inspired techniques have emerged as a new paradigm for analysis of phase transitions in quantum matter. In this work, we introduce a supervised learning algorithm for studying critical phenomena from measurement data, which is based on iteratively training convolutional networks of increasing complexity, and test it on the transverse field Ising chain and q=6 Potts model. At the continuous Ising transition, we identify scaling behavior in the classification accuracy, from which we infer a characteristic classification length scale. It displays a power-law divergence at the critical point, with a scaling exponent that matches with the diverging correlation length. Our algorithm correctly identifies the thermodynamic phase of the system and extracts scaling behavior from projective measurements, independently of the basis in which the measurements are performed. Furthermore, we show the classification length scale is absent for the $q=6$ Potts model, which has a first order transition and thus lacks a divergent correlation length. The main intuition underlying our finding is that, for measurement patches of sizes smaller than the correlation length, the system appears to be at the critical point, and therefore the algorithm cannot identify the phase from which the data was drawn.

description: This study analyzes one subset of twelve lakes within Kosciusko County, Indiana between 2015 and 2021 to provide a quantitative understanding of the mechanisms which influence onset and occurrence of HABs. Analysis of water samples, balanced by imagery from satellite remote sensing platforms, are used to quantify the biogeochemical state of these water systems and better understand the mechanisms involved in formation of HABs. Parameters studied include in-situ measurements (e.g., water temperature), laboratory measurements (e.g., microcystin, nitrogen, and phosphorous concentrations), and satellite derived responses (chlorophyll-a). Results indicate no single parameter is correlated with cyanotoxin concentrations, but instead multiple parameters have a synergistic effect on algal bloom growth and toxicity.

Mandibular Condyle Shape Changes Following Unilateral Partial Discectomy in Mice
Creators: name: Skabelund, Zachary Thor
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2024

description: Hypothesis and Objective:
Osteoarthritis (OA) of the temporomandibular joint manifests as bony remodeling, sclerosis, and cartilage degeneration, leading to joint immobility and pain. The most promising diagnostic marker for TMJ OA is morphological changes in the mandibular condyle, e.g., condylar flattening, osteophytic lipping, and bony erosion. In mice, performing unilateral partial discectomy induces TMJ osteoarthritic changes which provides a model to better understand the processes leading to the progression of TMJ OA. The objective of this study is to determine if the bony remodeling that occurs during OA progression changes the shape of the mandibular condyle.

Methods:
Unilateral partial discectomies were performed on skeletally mature male and female c57 BL6/J mice. Four-weeks after OA induction, the heads were fixed overnight in 4% paraformaldehyde, μCT scanned. The condyles were segmented and landmarked. Landmark coordinates were superimposed using a Procrustes alignment and shape characterized using a principal components analysis (PCA).

Results:
The PCA yielded 27 PCs, with the first five chosen for further analysis based on accounting for >5% of the entire variation. Only PC1 showed a statistically significantly different difference in shape (p<0.001) between non-surgical controls and the osteoarthritis group. With higher PC1 scores, the osteoarthritis group had condylar heads that were much wider in the mediolateral dimension and flatter in the superoinferior dimension. The difference was so striking that there was no overlap between the scores of the two groups. There were no significant differences found for sex.

Conclusions:
Contrary to expectations, there were no sex differences in the shape of the condyle in the osteoarthritis group. These results support prior work, and emphasize how rapidly dramatic remodeling affects not only the subchondral architecture but also the shape of the condyle.

description: This dissertation is a rhetorical-historiographic analysis of the emergence and dissolution of a model of therapy, one that showed promise in the 1950s as a treatment for a deadly disease (alcoholism) using a recently developed pharmaceutical drug (LSD-25). By the time this treatment model, called “psychedelic therapy,” was fully developed and ready to be tested, the rhetoric surrounding LSD in the 1960s public sphere had already turned mainstream psychiatry against the drug. Psychedelic therapy became rhetorically inextricable from the counterculture that grew out of its fringes, although its basic principles were actually borrowed from the widely-accepted Alcoholics Anonymous recovery movement. Moreover, the therapy only worked if the patient took the drug in a context designed to facilitate a particular type of experience, akin to a spiritual conversion. This method flew in the face of psychiatry’s insistence on double-blind placebo-controlled trials, which could only account for the drug’s strictly biochemical effects, regardless of therapeutic context. Through my analysis of archival sources, letters, conference proceedings, and research publications, I argue that psychedelic therapy’s failure to gain legitimacy despite its early success indicates how attributions of rhetorical action (or lack thereof) serve to mark out the boundaries of discursive arenas. These demarcations of rhetorical legitimacy thus allow for disciplinary legitimacy, even while the techniques, strategies, and materials of particular rhetorical appeals circulate among disciplines and other arenas without regard for these limits of legitimate persuasion. A drug may undeniably affect a person’s behavior, but to assert that the drug is persuasive will necessarily raise questions of legitimacy that must be resolved before it can be incorporated into a set of disciplinary practices.

description: Virtual reality (VR) is promising to fundamentally transform a broad spectrum of industry sectors and the way humans interact with virtual content. However, despite unprecedented progress, current networking and computing infrastructures are incompetent to unlock VR's full potential. In this paper, we consider delivering the wireless multi-tile VR video service over a mobile edge computing (MEC) network. The primary goal is to minimize the system latency/energy consumption and to arrive at a tradeoff thereof. To this end, we first cast the time-varying view popularity as a model-free Markov chain to effectively capture its dynamic characteristics. After jointly assessing the caching and computing capacities on both the MEC server and the VR playback device, a hybrid policy is then implemented to coordinate the dynamic caching replacement and the deterministic offloading, so as to fully utilize the system resources. The underlying multi-objective problem is reformulated as a partially observable Markov decision process, and a deep deterministic policy gradient algorithm is proposed to iteratively learn its solution, where a long short-term memory neural network is embedded to continuously predict the dynamics of the unobservable popularity. Simulation results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed scheme in achieving a trade-off between the energy efficiency and the latency reduction over the baseline methods.

description: We study from the proof complexity perspective the (informal) proof search problem: Is there an optimal way to search for propositional proofs? We note that for any fixed proof system there exists a time-optimal proof search algorithm. Using classical proof complexity results about reflection principles we prove that a time-optimal proof search algorithm exists without restricting proof systems iff a p-optimal proof system exists. To characterize precisely the time proof search algorithms need for individual formulas we introduce a new proof complexity measure based on algorithmic information concepts. In particular, to a proof system $P$ we attach {\bf information-efficiency function} $i_P(τ)$ assigning to a tautology a natural number, and we show that: - $i_P(τ)$ characterizes time any $P$-proof search algorithm has to use on $τ$ and that for a fixed $P$ there is such an information-optimal algorithm, - a proof system is information-efficiency optimal iff it is p-optimal, - for non-automatizable systems $P$ there are formulas $τ$ with short proofs but having large information measure $i_P(τ)$. We isolate and motivate the problem to establish unconditional super-logarithmic lower bounds for $i_P(τ)$ where no super-polynomial size lower bounds are known. We also point out connections of the new measure with some topics in proof complexity other than proof search.

description: Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are naturally produced by pro- and eukaryotes and are promising alternatives to antibiotics to fight multidrug-resistant microorganisms. However, despite thousands of AMP entries in respective databases, predictions about their structure–activity relationships are still limited. Similarly, common or dissimilar properties of AMPs that have evolved in different taxonomic groups are nearly unknown. We leveraged data entries for 10,987 peptides currently listed in the three antimicrobial peptide databases APD, DRAMP and DBAASP to aid structure–activity predictions. However, this number reduced to 3,828 AMPs that we could use for computational analyses, due to our stringent quality control criteria. The analysis uncovered a strong bias towards AMPs isolated from amphibians (1,391), whereas only 35 AMPs originate from fungi (0.9%), hindering evolutionary analyses on the origin and phylogenetic relationship of AMPs. The majority (62%) of the 3,828 AMPs consists of less than 40 amino acids but with a molecular weight higher than 2.5 kDa, has a net positive charge and shares a hydrophobic character. They are enriched in glycine, lysine and cysteine but are depleted in glutamate, aspartate and methionine when compared with a peptide set of the same size randomly selected from the UniProt database. The AMPs that deviate from this pattern (38%) can be found in different taxonomic groups, in particular in Gram-negative bacteria. Remarkably, the γ-core motif claimed so far as a unifying structural signature in cysteine-stabilised AMPs is absent in nearly 90% of the peptides, questioning its relevance as a prerequisite for antimicrobial activity. The disclosure of AMPs pattern and their variation in producing organism groups extends our knowledge of the structural diversity of AMPs and will assist future peptide screens in unexplored microorganisms. Structural design of peptide antibiotic drugs will benefit using natural AMPs as lead compounds. However, a reliable and statistically balanced database is missing which leads to a large knowledge gap in the AMP field. Thus, thorough evaluation of the available data, mitigation of biases and standardised experimental setups need to be implemented to leverage the full potential of AMPs for drug development programmes in the clinics and agriculture.

Kees Van Til Als Nederlandse-Amerikaanse, Neo-Calvinistisch-Presbyteriaan Apologeticus: An Analysis Of Cornelius Van Til'S Presupposition Of Reformed Dogmatics With Special Reference To Herman Bavinck'S Gereformeerde Dogmatiek

description: The purpose of this essay is to demonstrate that Cornelius Van Til’s (1895–1987) presupposition of Reformed dogmatics is largely a presupposition of Herman Bavinck’s (1854–1921) Gereformeerde Dogmatiek.

The argument proceeds in three steps. First, by situating Van Til’s life and work in the neo-Calvinist intellectual milieu within which he operated throughout his career, the prevailing Copernican interpretation of Van Til’s thought is challenged on the grounds of historical abstraction.

Second, his formal, material, and polemical appropriations of Bavinck’s Dogmatiek are analyzed in order to show not only that Van Til appropriates Bavinck’s thought pervasively, but also that his apologetics cannot be properly understood apart from Bavinck’s dogmatics.

Third, Van Til’s criticisms of the alleged scholasticism in Bavinck’s thought are analyzed in terms of their originality and their validity. Regarding the former, it is argued that Van Til tacitly appropriates Herman Dooyeweerd’s (1894–1977) earlier criticisms of neo-Calvinist scholasticism. Regarding the latter, it is argued that Van Til’s criticisms are methodologically unsound and historically untenable insofar as they proceed upon subjective premises and lead to a subjective conclusion.

In sum, given both his pervasive appropriation of Bavinck’s Dogmatiek and his entrenchment in neo-Calvinist theology and philosophy, Van Til is more accurately interpreted as a neo-Calvinist rather than a Copernican revolutionary.

description: Fake audio attack becomes a major threat to the speaker verification system. Although current detection approaches have achieved promising results on dataset-specific scenarios, they encounter difficulties on unseen spoofing data. Fine-tuning and retraining from scratch have been applied to incorporate new data. However, fine-tuning leads to performance degradation on previous data. Retraining takes a lot of time and computation resources. Besides, previous data are unavailable due to privacy in some situations. To solve the above problems, this paper proposes detecting fake without forgetting, a continual-learning-based method, to make the model learn new spoofing attacks incrementally. A knowledge distillation loss is introduced to loss function to preserve the memory of original model. Supposing the distribution of genuine voice is consistent among different scenarios, an extra embedding similarity loss is used as another constraint to further do a positive sample alignment. Experiments are conducted on the ASVspoof2019 dataset. The results show that our proposed method outperforms fine-tuning by the relative reduction of average equal error rate up to 81.62%.

Quantifying the Negative Externalities Associated with Homeless Encampments
Creators: name: Bhandari, Ryan Anil

description: This dissertation marks the first attempt to quantify the costs that homeless
encampments impose on their surrounding areas. Despite the pervasiveness of
homeless encampments in many economically prosperous cities, continuous data on when and where they exist throughout the year is limited. I address this relative paucity of data by showing that complaints of homeless encampments filed by city residents can be used to track their presence in real time. By comparing the number of citizen-made complaints to the number of individuals enumerated in the Point in Time Count—the current industry-standard data set on homeless encampments—I show that an increase in complaints corresponds to an increase in the presence of encampments. This dissertation focuses on Los Angeles, but this procedure can be replicated in other cities that track complaints about encampments. I use the complaints data in a spatial hedonic property price model to assess the impact of homeless encampments on residential property values. I find that 41% of residential properties transacted in Los Angeles between March 2016 and August 2022 had homeless encampments within 0.2 miles and sold on average for 1.92% less than they otherwise would have, a total realized loss of over $1.1 billion across more than 49,000 properties. I use the realized losses on property transactions to price
the citywide externalities associated with homeless encampments at $14 billion,
just shy of the projected cost of housing all 31,000 unsheltered homeless people in Los Angeles. Pricing the externalities from homeless encampments leads to a more thorough accounting of the costs associated with homelessness, not just for those experiencing it, but for all residents of cities that struggle to contain it.
