description: A strong-coupling expansion for the Green's functions, self-energies and correlation functions of the Bose Hubbard model is developed. We illustrate the general formalism, which includes all possible inhomogeneous effects in the formalism, such as disorder, or a trap potential, as well as effects of thermal excitations. The expansion is then employed to calculate the momentum distribution of the bosons in the Mott phase for an infinite homogeneous periodic system at zero temperature through third-order in the hopping. By using scaling theory for the critical behavior at zero momentum and at the critical value of the hopping for the Mott insulator to superfluid transition along with a generalization of the RPA-like form for the momentum distribution, we are able to extrapolate the series to infinite order and produce very accurate quantitative results for the momentum distribution in a simple functional form for one, two, and three dimensions; the accuracy is better in higher dimensions and is on the order of a few percent relative error everywhere except close to the critical value of the hopping divided by the on-site repulsion. In addition, we find simple phenomenological expressions for the Mott phase lobes in two and three dimensions which are much more accurate than the truncated strong-coupling expansions and any other analytic approximation we are aware of. The strong-coupling expansions and scaling theory results are benchmarked against numerically exact QMC simulations in two and three dimensions and against DMRG calculations in one dimension. These analytic expressions will be useful for quick comparison of experimental results to theory and in many cases can bypass the need for expensive numerical simulations.

description: In fractional quantum Hall systems, quasiparticles of fractional charge can tunnel between the edges at a quantum point contact. Such tunneling (or backscattering) processes contribute to charge transport, and provide information on both the charge and statistics of the quasiparticles involved. Here we study quasiparticle tunneling in the Moore-Read state, in which quasiparticles of charge e/4 (non-Abelian) and e/2 (Abelian) may co-exist and both contribute to edge transport. On a disk geometry, we calculate the matrix elements for e/2 and e/4 quasiholes to tunnel through the bulk of the Moore-Read state, in an attempt to understand their relative importance. We find the tunneling amplitude for charge e/2 quasihole is exponentially smaller than that for charge e/4 quasihole, and the ratio between them can be (partially) attributed to their charge difference. We find that including long-range Coulomb interaction only has a weak effect on the ratio. We discuss briefly the relevance of these results to recent tunneling and interferometry experiments at filling factor nu=5/2.

The Radial Orbit Instability in Collisionless N-Body Simulations

description: Using a suite of self-gravitating, collisionless N-body models, we systematically explore a parameter space relevant to the onset and behavior of the radial orbit instability (ROI), whose strength is measured by the systemic axis ratios of the models. We show that a combination of two initial conditions, namely the velocity anisotropy and the virial ratio, determines whether a system will undergo ROI and exactly how triaxial the system will become. A third initial condition, the radial shape of the density profile, plays a smaller, but noticeable role. Regarding the dynamical development of the ROI, the instability a) begins after systems collapse to their most compact configuration and b) evolves fastest when a majority of the particles have radially anisotropic orbits while there is a lack of centrally-concentrated isotropic orbits. We argue that this is further evidence that self-reinforcing torques are the key to the onset of the ROI. Our findings support the idea that a separate orbit instability plays a role in halting the ROI.

description: In this paper, the minimum channel gain flow with uncertainty in the demand vector is examined. The approach is based on a transformation of uncertainty in the demand vector to uncertainty in the gain vector. OFDM systems are known to overcome the impairment of the wireless channel by splitting the given system bandwidth into parallel sub-carriers, on which data-symbols can be transmitted simultaneously. This enables the possibility of enhancing the system's performance by deploying adaptive mechanisms, namely power distribution and dynamic sub-carrier assignments. The performances of maximizing the minimum throughput have been analyzed by MATLAB codes.

Impact of Vitamin D on Osseointegration in Dental Implants: A Systematic Review of Human Studies
Creators: name: Bratosin, Felix
Publisher: name: OSF Registries
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Medicine and Health Sciences

description: The hypotheses of this systematic review are that adequate levels of Vitamin D positively influence the osseointegration of dental implants and that Vitamin D supplementation in deficient individuals can improve the success rate of dental implants. The objective of this study is to conduct a systematic review of the literature to investigate the impact of Vitamin D on the osseointegration of dental implants in humans. Through this review, we aim to collate and analyze data from various studies, focusing on parameters such as the rate of osseointegration, implant success rate, bone density around the implant, and any reported complications in the context of Vitamin D levels in patients. This comprehensive analysis will contribute to a better understanding of the role of Vitamin D in dental implantology and may guide clinical practices regarding nutritional assessment and management in patients undergoing dental implant surgery.
Dispersion properties of electrostatic oscillations in quantum plasmas

Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)

description: We present a derivation of the dispersion relation for electrostatic oscillations (ESOs) in a zero temperature quantum plasma. In the latter, degenerate electrons are governed by the Wigner equation, while non-degenerate ions follow the classical fluid equations. The Poisson equation determines the electrostatic wave potential. We consider parameters ranging from semiconductor plasmas to metallic plasmas and electron densities of compressed matter such as in laser-compression schemes and dense astrophysical objects. Due to the wave diffraction caused by overlapping electron wave function due to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle in dense plasmas, we have possibility of Landau damping of the high-frequency electron plasma oscillations (EPOs) at large enough wavenumbers. The exact dispersion relations for the EPOs are solved numerically and compared to the ones obtained by using approximate formulas for the electron susceptibility in the high- and low-frequency cases.

description: Despite a growing understanding of the triggers for suicidal thoughts and behavior, little is known about the mechanisms that prevent people from killing themselves. The goal of the present study was to use publicly available Reddit data to better understand the reasons that people give for not following through with a potentially lethal suicide attempt. Threads containing key terms (e.g., "kill yourself") within the subreddit /r/AskReddit were collected and all top posts from these threads were thematically coded. Across the posts collected, 11 different themes were identified; friends and family, curiosity and optimism about the future, spite, purpose, transience, hobbies, animals/pets, fear of survival, fear of pain, death and/or the afterlife, apathy/laziness, and intervention. Some additional themes were captured in an "other" category, and a twelfth theme, use of pharmaceutical drugs, was identified, but not discussed. These findings provide a broad overview about the proximal protective factors that directly stopped people from making a suicide attempt. They also illustrate the potential for Reddit as platform through which to better understand factors that may help to identify and support those in suicidal crisis. Such insight may help to inform intervention and prevention strategies for suicide and those in suicidal crisis.

Direct contact heat transfer between two immiscible liquids during vaporization
Creators: name: Prakash, Chandra Bhanu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A single-drop study using motion picture photography was used to predict the heat transfer with a change of phase (vaporization) between two immiscible liquids. In all, three systems were studied using furan, isopentane, and cyclopentane as the dispersed phase liquids and distilled water as the continuous phase liquid. The correlation which predicted the overall heat transfer coefficient for all the three systems was Nu = 0. 0505 (Pe') [formula omitted], where the Nusselt number and the modified Peclet number were based on the dispersed phase liquid properties. This correlation was developed from the experimental data only up to ten percent evaporation and was not found to hold well for the total evaporation range, when the total evaporation time from this correlation was compared with that obtained by a dilatometric method. Individual equations for each system, however, gave good agreement between experimental and theoretical total evaporation time. The average rate of heat transfer for all the three systems is given by the equation, [formula omitted] where 'C' is a constant which is different for each system.

description: We explore an analogy between the thermodynamics of a free dissipative quantum particle and that of an electromagnetic field between two mirrors of finite conductivity. While a free particle isolated from its environment will effectively be in the high-temperature limit for any nonvanishing temperature, a finite coupling to the environment leads to quantum effects ensuring the correct low-temperature behavior. Even then, it is found that under appropriate circumstances the entropy can be a nonmonotonic function of the temperature. Such a scenario with its specific dependence on the ratio of temperature and damping constant also appears for the transverse electric mode in the Casimir effect. The limits of vanishing dissipation for the quantum particle and of infinite conductivity of the mirrors in the Casimir effect both turn out to be noncontinuous.

description: Contexte : Bien que les législateurs ou législatrices jouent un rôle essentiel dans l’élaboration des politiques, il n’existe pas de revue systématique des études sur l’utilisation des résultats de recherche dans les assemblées législatives. Buts et objectifs : Examiner les types d’usages de la recherche et les facteurs qui facilitent ou entravent son utilisation dans les assemblées législatives. Méthode : Nous avons procédé à un examen systématique des études réalisées dans les assemblées législatives, indépendamment de la région géographique ou de l’année de publication. Nous avons inclus les études empiriques, quelle que soit la méthodologie employée. Une synthèse thématique a été utilisée pour synthétiser le type d’utilisation et les facteurs facilitant et entravant l’utilisation des résultats de recherche dans les parlements. Nous avons inclus 21 études. Résultats : Le type d’utilisation le plus fréquemment observé est celui à des fins symboliques ou tactiques. Des formes d’utilisation spécifiques aux assemblées législatives ont également été identifiées, telles que la préparation des questions et des débats ou encore pour la recherche d’un consensus. Quatre catégories de facteurs considérés comme des facilitateurs ou des obstacles ont été identifiées : institution et organisation, caractéristiques de la recherche, contexte, et caractéristiques individuelles. Certains facteurs avaient déjà été identifiés dans des études antérieures, tandis que d’autres semblent s’appliquer exclusivement aux assemblées législatives. Discussion et conclusions : La revue systématique a permis d’identifier les types d’utilisation des résultats de recherche observés dans les assemblées législatives et de développer une nouvelle catégorisation des facteurs susceptibles de promouvoir ou d’entraver l’utilisation des résultats de recherche dans ce cadre institutionnel. L’étude a mis en évidence la nécessité de poursuivre les recherches au-delà des États-Unis, dans les assemblées législatives monocamérales et dans des pays dotés d’un régime parlementaire. L’analyse du contenu des débats parlementaires au sein d’assemblées ou de commissions législatives afin d’examiner l’utilisation des résultats de recherche semble être sous-utilisée.

description: 3D printing in dentistry is a rapidly moving and innovative field with ever-increasing applications. There is no comprehensive study comparing all types of printers with milled and conventional prosthesis manufacture. Given the rapid innovation in the field, the study design, products and materials would most likely be improved upon during the time taken to complete and publish such a study. Given the constantly changing nature of the field it is difficult to make evidence based decisions on the appropriate use of these important tools and materials.
The different types of printers alongside their relative advantages and disadvantages, are often not discussed in research when comparing 3D printed dental materials with their conventional counterparts. Thus the aim of this review article is to categorise 3D printing applications into those where there is evidence to support the clinical application and list clinical applications which require a greater evidence base or further development prior to adoption.

description: We calculate the location of the magnetically-inactive dead zone in the minimum-mass protosolar disk, under ionization scenarios including stellar X-rays, long- or short-lived radionuclide decay, and energetic protons arriving from the general interstellar medium, from a nearby supernova explosion, from the disk corona, or from the corona of the young star. The disk contains a dead zone in all scenarios except those with small dust grains removed and a fraction of the short-lived radionuclides remaining in the gas. All the cases without exception have an "undead zone" where intermediate resistivities prevent magneto-rotational turbulence while allowing shear-generated large-scale magnetic fields. The mass column in the undead zone is typically greater than the column in the turbulent surface layers. The results support the idea that the dead and undead zones are robust consequences of cold, dusty gas with mass columns exceeding 1000 g/cm^2.

Studies in the pyrolysis and flash photolysis of azoethane
Creators: name: Sandhu, Harbhajam Singh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The pyrolysis of azoethane has been studied in a static system in the temperature range 245 to 308°C., and at initial pressures between 15 and 110 mm. using gas chromatographic analysis. In the initial stages of the reaction, products identified are methane, ethane, ethylene, propane, propylene, n-butane, nitrogen and di- and tri- ethyl amines. At large extents of the reaction radical-olefin reactions occur extensively and produce a complex distribution of products. Compounds containing carbon, hydrogen and nitrogen are also formed at higher percentage decompositions. The orders of formation of major products with respect to azoethane, as well as activation energies, have been determined. The activation energy for the initiation reaction C₂H₅N₂C₂H₅ → 2 Ċ₂H₅ + N₂ has been found to be 47.2 ± 1.0 kcal per mole. The effects of additives such as cis-butene-2, butene-1 and carbon dioxide on the initial rates of formation of various products have been investigated. All the additives have a common effect of lowering the initial rate of formation of ethane. Increase in surface: volume ratio has the effect of lowering the time rate of pressure change by 10 to 20% and this has been attributed to the increased surface recombination of radicals. The rate of formation of ethane is also decreased in the packed reaction vessel. This study has pointed out that there is a short chain in the thermal decomposition of azoethane due to the formation and subsequent decomposition of CH₃ĊH-N=N-CH₂CH₃ radical. A mechanism has been proposed for the pyrolysis of azoethane which accounts qualitatively for the nature and distribution of products. The flash photolysis of azoethane has also been investigated at room temperature in pyrex and quartz reaction vessels. Thermally equilibrated radicals are produced in the pyrex cell with outer pyrex jacket. Addition of large amounts of carbon dioxide in the flash photolysis of azoethane decreases the product yields indicating the collisional deactivation of excited azoethane molecules. The ratio of ethyl radicals disproportionation to combination has been found to be 0.12 ± 0.02. Reactions have been postulated to account for the products of flash photolysis of azoethane.

description: Teacher rating scales (TRS) often play a part in service eligibility decisions for exceptional learners. Although schools regularly use TRS to identify student exceptionalism either as part of an informal nomination process or through behavioral rating scales, there is little research documenting the between-teacher variance in teacher ratings and the consequences of such rater dependence. To evaluate the possible benefits or disadvantages of using TRS as part of a gifted identification process, we examined the student-, teacher-, and school-level variance in TRS controlling for student ability and achievement to determine the unique information, consistency, and potential bias in TRS. Between 10% and 25% of a students’ TRS score can be attributed to the teacher doing the rating, and between-teacher standard deviations represent an effect size of one-third to one-half standard deviation. Our results suggest that TRS are not easily comparable across teachers, making it impossible to set a cut score for admission into a program (or for further screening) that functions equitably across teachers.

description: Background: The Netflix drama 13 Reasons Why (13RW) focusing on the suicide of an adolescent girl became a global phenomenon. It was accompanied by intense public debate about the risks of exposing youth to fictional portrayals of adolescent suicide. Aims: To explore adolescents' subjective perspectives and understanding of 13RW focusing on the portrayal of adolescent suicide. Method: We applied a thematic analysis to qualitative data from interviews with 25 New Zealand adolescents eliciting views on the show's portrayal of adolescent suicide. Results: Four themes were developed from the analysis: entertaining but not realistic; the unexpected shock factor; jumbled messages; and superficial conversations. Conclusion: This study contributes a youth perspective which has been missing from the debate on 13RW. This research highlights the way that youth, when given the opportunity, articulated a nuanced understanding of the representation of adolescent suicide in 13RW, viewing it as entertainment rather than a realistic depiction that added little in terms of suicide awareness and generated minimal opportunities for in-depth discussion.

description: Nowadays government and private agencies use remote sensing imagery for a wide range of applications from military applications to farm development. The images may be a panchromatic, multispectral, hyperspectral or even ultraspectral of terra bytes. Remote sensing image classification is one amongst the most significant application worlds for remote sensing. A few number of image classification algorithms have proved good precision in classifying remote sensing data. But, of late, due to the increasing spatiotemporal dimensions of the remote sensing data, traditional classification algorithms have exposed weaknesses necessitating further research in the field of remote sensing image classification. So an efficient classifier is needed to classify the remote sensing images to extract information. We are experimenting with both supervised and unsupervised classification. Here we compare the different classification methods and their performances. It is found that Mahalanobis classifier performed the best in our classification.

Sellest tulenevalt on seatud eesmärgiks selgitada, mil määral ja viisil patsientide iseseisvust ja aktiivsust info otsimisel haiguse kohta saab toetada.  Metoodika. Uurimuses on kasutatud nii kvantitatiivset (küsimustik) kui ka kvalitatiivset (küsimustiku vabad vastused ning täiendavad intervjuud) käsitlust.  Tulemused ja järeldused. Infootsinguline aktiivsus ja varasem meediatarbimise harjumus on seotud – inimene, kes aktiivse meediatarbijana kasutab mitmekesiseid infokanaleid, jätkab seda praktikat ka haiguse kohta info otsimiseks. Omavaheline seos esineb haiguse kestuse ja Parkinsoni haiguse seltsi kuulumise vahel: pikem haiguse kestus soodustab seltsiga ühinemist, mistõttu muutub selts pikaajalistel haigetel arsti kõrval oluliseks infoallikaks. Haiguse varasemates faasides on olulised muud infoallikad (meedia, sh uus meedia), mistõttu on oluline nii nende arendamine kui ka tugi nendest saadava info mõtestamisel. Haigusega kohanemisel on lisaks biomeditsiinilisele teabele oluline ka info haiguse sotsiaalse tähenduse ja suhete muutumise kohta.   Vajalik info peab olema situatiivselt kättesaadav erinevatest allikatest (sh interneti- ja mobiilipõhisena) ning vajaduse korral väikeste osade kaupa, mis võimaldaks ka kordamist. Vastasel korral ei võeta infot omaks, sest puudub (emotsionaalne) valmisolek näha liiga kaugele tulevikku. Sama barjäär mõjutab ka seltsi kui infoallika ja resotsialiseerija kasutamist.Eesti Arst 2014; 93(2):76–82

description: Sadakond aastat tagasi kõnelesid teaduse populariseerijad palju surmast. Kuivõrd 19. sajandi teadustraditsioon vaatles bioloogilist surma eluprotsesside kontekstis, elutegevuse vältimatu kaasnähtuse ja tagajärjena, leidsid samas seoses palju tähelepanu ka käsitlused elu olemusest. Kohalike rahvuslikult meelestatud arstide jaoks täitis elu ja surma teemal avalikkuse ees esinemine mitmeid eesmärke. Kõigepealt peeti tähtsaks materialistliku ilmavaate (vastandina religioossele) jutlustamist. Oluline oli ka kasvatustöö tervishoiuküsimustes laiemalt, näiteks alkoholivastase meelsuse kujundamine ning tervisliku toitumise propageerimine. Kokkvõttes mõjutas levitatud sõnum aga ka erinevaid ühiskonnakorralduslikke diskussioone, kus üksikisiku tasemelt võidi tõusta juba rahvuse elujõu ja kestmise küsimuste juurde.Eesti Arst 2014; 93(2):84–89

description: We study Coleman-de Luccia tunneling in some detail. We show that, for a single scalar field potential with a true and a false vacuum, there are four types of tunneling, depending on the properties of the potential. A general tunneling process involves a combination of thermal (Gibbons-Hawking temperature) fluctuation part way up the barrier followed by quantum tunneling. The thin-wall approximation is a special limit of the case (of only quantum tunneling) where inside the nucleation bubble is the true vacuum while the outside reaches the false vacuum. Hawking-Moss tunneling is the (only thermal fluctuation) limit of the case where the inside of the bubble does not reach the true vacuum at the moment of its creation, and the outside is cut off by the de Sitter horizon before it reaches the false vacuum. We estimate the corrections to the Hawking-Moss formula, which can be large. In all cases, we see that the bounce of the Euclidean action decreases rapidly as the vacuum energy density increases, signaling that the tunneling is not exponentially suppressed. In some sense, this phenomenon may be interpreted as a finite temperature effect due to the Gibbons-Hawking temperature of the de Sitter space. As an application, we discuss the implication of this tunneling property to the cosmic landscape.

description: Alzheimeri tõbi (AT) on neurodegeneratiivne haigus, mille korral iseloomulikud muutused ajus hakkavad tekkima aastakümneid enne esimeste sümptomite teket. Selles etapis aga haigust ära tunda ei ole võimalik ja seega patogeneetilist protsessi pidurdada ei saa. Arvatavalt on AT geneetiliste ning elustiilitegurite koostoime tagajärg. Geene on võimalik uurida, aga kuidas analüüsida kõigi tegurite koostoimet, millega inimene elu jooksul kokku puutub. See on olnud viimasel aastakümnel AT tekkepõhjusi analüüsivate uurijate üheks väljakutseks. Praegustele teadmistele toetudes vähendavad AT ilmnemise riski füüsiline ja vaimne aktiivsus, nn vahemerelist tüüpi toitumisharjumus, alkoholi- ja kohvijoomine keskeas. Riski suurendavate teguritena on leitud olevat suitsetamine ja depressioon keskeas. Osa riskitegurite toime ilmneb eriti või ainult teatud geenivariandi esinemise korral.Eesti Arst 2014; 93(2):90–94

Study of chemical exchange kinetics by nuclear magnetic resonance
Creators: name: Inglefield, Paul T.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A study of the rates of hindered internal rotation about the C—N bond in N,N-dimethyltrifluoroacetamide and N,N-dimethyldeuteroformamide has been made using the nuclear magnetic resonance spin echo method. A 40 Mc/sec. spin echo spectrometer, which enables measurements to be made of the transverse relaxation time (T₂) from a Carr Purcell sequence of radio-frequency pulses, is described and its performance illustrated. The precision of values obtained is estimated to be of the order of 5%. Equations, derived from a theory developed by Bloom, Reeves and Wells for the dependence of T₂, measured in a Carr Purcell experiment, on pulse intervals in the presence of a suitable exchange process, have been used to extract the kinetic data for the two molecules. The chemical shift, rate constant and natural relaxation time (T2₀) have been calculated from the data by curve fitting procedures using computer techniques, and the experimental verification of the theory has been noted. The accuracy of the rate constants and activation parameters derived is discussed in the light of previous steady state nuclear magnetic resonance studies. The relative merits of the spin echo and steady state methods are examined and the possibility of the occurrence of systematic errors in such studies is investigated. Steady state studies of the proton exchange between methanol and two phenols (meta-cresol and ortho-hydroxyaceto-phenone) and of the ring inversion of N,N-dimethylpiperazine are also presented and the relative merits of the kinetic parameters discussed.
Those Ancient Forming Powers': Fulke Greville's Dialectic of Idolatry
Creators: name: Guagliardo, Ethan John
Publisher: name: University of Notre Dame
Year: 2023

description: Fulke Greville has often been described as a Calvinist and even an ‘ultra-Calvinist’, but this pole of his work stands in tension with the neo-Stoical elements of his thought, in which nature is held out as an ideal against artificiality. This chapter reassesses Greville’s political and religious poetry in light of this tension to argue that Greville uses nature as a platform to critique sovereignty as a poetic artefact, which like the idol hides its artificiality in colours of divinity. Further, Greville implicates orthodox Christianity itself in the ideology of sovereign authority, insofar as its denigration of nature serves to obviate the ‘ancient forming powers’ of sovereignty’s human creators. Nevertheless, Greville’s critique, insofar as it is based on a suspicion of art, turns against itself, such that nature, while held out as an ideal, can never be acted upon without betraying and corrupting it.

description: We present numerical calculations of the electron effective mass in an interacting, ferromagnetic, two-dimensional electron system. We consider quantum interaction effects associated with the charge-density fluctuation induced many-body vertex corrections. Our theory, which is free of adjustable parameters, reveals that the effective mass is suppressed (relative to its band value) in the strong coupling limit, in good agreement with the results of recent experimental measurements.

description: Young people born with variations in sex characteristics (VSC) or disorders of sex development (DSD) face numerous challenges in navigating issues relating to identity and to their lived and embodied experience. There is limited published research amplifying the voices of young people with a VSC, especially from Aotearoa/New Zealand. This qualitative study provides an up-to-date picture of the lived experience of 10 young people with a VSC in Aotearoa/New Zealand. The research was conducted in collaboration with the advocacy group, Intersex Youth Aotearoa, and explored the level of support provided by health services, peers and advocacy groups in relation to the ways the participants viewed themselves and their bodies, and their health related decision-making. Findings reveal the pressure on young people with a VSC to conform to cultural and societal norms, specifically, heteronormative and traditional constructs of how male and female bodies should look in Aotearoa/NZ society. Such views, often held and perpetuated by health professionals and parents, contributed to complexities surrounding identity, agency and acceptance of difference experienced by these young people. The implications of these findings are discussed, including the need for better psychological and peer support for young people.

description: A series of infrared-active optical phonons have been detected in type-I clathrate Ba$_8$Ga$_{16}$Ge$_{30}$ by terahertz time-domain spectroscopy. The conductivity spectra with the lowest-lying peaks at 1.15 and 1.80 THz are identified with so-called rattling phonons, i.e., optical modes of the guest ion Ba$^{2+}(2)$ with $T_{1u}$ symmetry in the oversized tetrakaidecahedral cage. The temperature dependence of the spectra from these modes are totally consistent with calculations based on a one-dimensional anharmonic potential model that, with decreasing temperature, the shape becomes asymmetrically sharp associated with a softening for the weight to shift to lower frequency. These temperature dependences are determined, without any interaction effects, by the Bose-factor for optical excitations of anharmonic phonons with the nonequally spaced energy levels.

description: Network Intrusion Detection (NID) is the process of identifying network activity that can lead to the compromise of a security policy. In this paper, we will look at four intrusion detection approaches, which include ANN or Artificial Neural Network, SOM, Fuzzy Logic and SVM. ANN is one of the oldest systems that have been used for Intrusion Detection System (IDS), which presents supervised learning methods. However, in this research, we also came across SOM or Self Organizing Map, which is an ANN-based system, but applies unsupervised methods. Another approach is Fuzzy Logic (IDS-based), which also applies unsupervised learning methods. Lastly, we will look at the SVM system or Support Vector Machine for IDS. The goal of this paper is to draw an image for hybrid approaches using these supervised and unsupervised methods.
