description: The couplings between supermassive black-hole binaries and their environments within galactic nuclei have been well studied as part of the search for solutions to the final parsec problem. The scattering of stars by the binary or the interaction with a circumbinary disk may efficiently drive the system to sub-parsec separations, allowing the binary to enter a regime where the emission of gravitational waves can drive it to merger within a Hubble time. However, these interactions can also affect the orbital parameters of the binary. In particular, they may drive an increase in binary eccentricity which survives until the system's gravitational-wave signal enters the pulsar-timing array band. Therefore, if we can measure the eccentricity from observed signals, we can potentially deduce some of the properties of the binary environment. To this end, we build on previous techniques to present a general Bayesian pipeline with which we can detect and estimate the parameters of an eccentric supermassive black-hole binary system with pulsar-timing arrays. Additionally, we generalize the pulsar-timing array $\mathcal{F}_e$-statistic to eccentric systems, and show that both this statistic and the Bayesian pipeline are robust when studying circular or arbitrarily eccentric systems. We explore how eccentricity influences the detection prospects of single gravitational-wave sources, as well as the detection penalty incurred by employing a circular waveform template to search for eccentric signals, and conclude by identifying important avenues for future study.

Between Sacred and Profane: Carnival, Feasting, and Medieval Social Order in the Luttrell Psalter

Luttrell psalter
Homo ludens (Huizinga, Johan)

description: The Luttrell Psalter, commissioned by Sir Geoffrey Luttrell in the early fourteenth century, contains an unusual amount of feasting and food imagery. Eating or vomiting grotesques frolic in the margins of the manuscript alongside scenes of games involving food and drink, images incorporating food symbolism, and narrative pictorial sequences depicting the cultivation of the patron’s lands and the preparation and consumption of a feast. The feasting imagery can be divided into two basic categories: diacritical feasts that uphold the dominant social order and carnivalesque feasts that invert and parody it. These two types of feasts exist in dynamic tension with one another, whether as individual images on the same page or as contradictory elements within the same image. Building on the findings of previous scholars of the Luttrell Psalter and drawing on elements of Michael Bakhtin’s and Johann Huizinga’s theories on medieval carnival, play, and culture, this thesis analyzes the significance and multidimensionality of the feasting imagery in the Luttrell Psalter.
Why the Latin American Education Model Ecopedagogy is Uniquely Situated to Address Shortfalls Within Environmental Education
Creators: name: Kenlan, Katherine Marie Chiosso
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Ecopedagogy is an educational framework that bridges the politics of the academy with grassroots political organizing capable of achieving social and ecological transformation (Kahn, 18).  It is a movement directly influenced by the work of Paulo Freire and indirectly influenced by Latin American networks for popular education and liberation theology (Kahn, 19). This research is designed to broaden the impact of environmental education (EE) and encourage deeper reflection on how to instill values of environmental stewardship and connection to nature. The Global South’s ecopedagogy incorporates the awareness of oppressive systems in its educational approach not used in western environmental studies, thought and practices. It is not the differences between EE and ecopedagogy that make them more or less effective but rather the implementation methods of the teacher and their awareness of effective teaching. This pedagogy is being used globally and has been taken up by a working group in the United Nations since 1992 (Kahn 12). One aspect critical to successful implementation of this pedagogy is the teacher’s focus and ability to support development of critical thinking skills. By looking at three studies, the first, a comparison study of teachers from three different countries the United States, Argentina and Brazil, who use ecopedagogy principles; the second a study of a North Carolina forestry middle school EE program; and the third an examination of the effects of a required senior research project at an ecopedagogy based charter school in Wisconsin.

description: A papilomatose respiratória recorrente da criança é uma doença rara, mas potencialmente ameaçadora da vida, e que atinge o trato respiratório com predilecção pela laringe e traqueia. É causada pelo papiloma-vírus humano (tipo 6 e 11).É uma das causas de rouquidão e obstrução da via aérea. É necessário um elevado grau de suspeição diagnóstica, tendo em conta as várias formas de apresentação. Apresenta-se o caso de uma criança de quatro anos de idade, com antecedentes de papilomatose laríngea, internada por obstrução respiratória alta grave e necessidade de traqueotomia de emergência.
A tipagem viral realizada posteriormente revelou tratar-se do papilomavírus humano tipo 11 e 72. Nos catorze meses seguintes foi submetida a seis intervenções cirúrgicas, inicialmente por técnicas convencionais e laser de CO2, e de seguida utilizando o novo método de microdebridador e aplicação de cidofovir intralesional. Trata-se de um caso ilustrativo de doença extremamente agressiva, que pôs em risco a vida da criança e com óbvia repercussão na sua qualidade de vida. A papilomatose respiratória recorrente, embora rara, deve estar presente nos diagnósticos diferenciais de estridor na criança, de modo a prevenir o crescimento de papilomas e a consequente obstrução grave das vias aéreas.

Bayesian Endogenous Tobit Quantile Regression

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Methodology (stat.ME)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This study proposes $p$-th Tobit quantile regression models with endogenous variables. In the first stage regression of the endogenous variable on the exogenous variables, the assumption that the $α$-th quantile of the error term is zero is introduced. Then, the residual of this regression model is included in the $p$-th quantile regression model in such a way that the $p$-th conditional quantile of the new error term is zero. The error distribution of the first stage regression is modelled around the zero $α$-th quantile assumption by using parametric and semiparametric approaches. Since the value of $α$ is a priori unknown, it is treated as an additional parameter and is estimated from the data. The proposed models are then demonstrated by using simulated data and real data on the labour supply of married women.

description: In this paper, we try to use a new way to deduce the transformation formula of special relativity. On the premise of not assuming that time slows down and length shrinks, we use the experimentally verified Planck energy formula, momentum formula and mass-energy equation as the basis, namely, The Doppler frequency shift formula of the special theory of relativity, the moving mass formula and the velocity transformation formula in the special theory of relativity can be obtained. At the same time, the biggest innovation of this paper is: (1) The preconditions of the Doppler frequency shift formula are supplemented, and it is pointed out that the Doppler frequency shift formula The relative motion speed of the object in the frequency shift formula of Doppler relativity is actually relative to the speed after the object emits photons, not relative to the speed before emission, which makes up for the deficiency of the frequency shift formula of Doppler relativity; (2) Prove and The traditional relativistic aberration formula is revised, and the correct relativistic aberration formula is introduced. The correction can be used for the calculation of laser absorption and reflection of moving objects, and the calculation of radiation and absorption angle of high-speed moving particles.

description: Automatic sign language recognition is an open problem that has received a lot of attention recently, not only because of its usefulness to signers, but also due to the numerous applications a sign classifier can have. In this article, we present a new feature extraction technique for hand pose recognition using depth and intensity images captured from a Microsoft Kinect sensor. We applied our technique to American Sign Language fingerspelling classification using a Deep Belief Network, for which our feature extraction technique is tailored. We evaluated our results on a multi-user data set with two scenarios: one with all known users and one with an unseen user. We achieved 99% recall and precision on the first, and 77% recall and 79% precision on the second. Our method is also capable of real-time sign classification and is adaptive to any environment or lightning intensity.

description: AI is on everybody's lips these days. Large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT are transforming how we interact with technology and use data. They seriously affect how we teach and learn - LLMs are game changers in this domain. In this talk, we will delve into the impact of LLMs on education, teaching and learning. We will start with ethical considerations such as bias, honesty and transparency and with a few words about some of the regulatory measures trying to mitigate these issues put into place so far by Higher Education Institutions. Additionally, we will explore some of the many challenges teachers face, including evaluating student progression and adapting learning outcomes to ensure effectiveness and achievability within this new context. Lastly, we will discuss the potential benefits of LLMs in education and training, such as personalized learning experiences for students and increased focus for teachers on critical educational aspects.

description: Reliable forecasting is a key success factor of most organizations and companies. Where historical data is not available, the forecasts address questions in the far future, information is dispersed regarding location and form, or conflicting goals or values have to be considered, judgmental forecasting methods based on experts or the crowd are typically applied. However, several judgmental forecasting methods exist and each method has some individual weaknesses. Delphi-Markets are an integrated approach of prediction markets and Real-Time Delphi studies. Depending on their implementation, they allow to combine several properties of both approaches in order to overcome individual weaknesses. Three different ways to integrate the method are presented and discussed in this work. In order to better understand challenges and potentials of Delphi-Markets, the FAZ.NET-Orakel was instantiated and made publicly available for evaluation and improvement of an exemplary Delphi-Market under real-world conditions. In this context, four proposed improvements for the integrated approach were evaluated in four research projects. These projects correspond to the four sources of forecasting error according to the Judgmental Forecasting Improvement Model, introduced and derived in this dissertation as well. On the one hand, these improvements deal with common problems of prediction markets: Cognitive errors, such as partition dependence, and motivational errors, such as manipulation and fraud. On the other hand, these include common problems of Real-Time Delphi studies: The selection of experts for Delphi studies and retention during the surveys. As contributions to the overall IS research derived from the examinations of the Delphi-Markets and this dissertation, design principles for two extensions (social Real-Time Delphi and a crowd-based approach for manipulation and fraud detection) are formulated, implemented, tested, and suggested for application. Further, the role of complexity and expertise in the occurrence of the partition dependence bias is examined and a selection approach for experts for Delphi studies based on trading data is suggested and evaluated.

description: The surface of a three-dimensional topological electron system often hosts symmetry-protected gapless surface states. With the effect of electron interactions, these surface states can be gapped out without symmetry breaking by a surface topological order, in which the anyon excitations carry anomalous symmetry fractionalization that cannot be realized in a genuine two-dimensional system. We show that for a mirror-symmetry-protected topological crystalline insulator with mirror Chern number $n=4$, its surface can be gapped out by an anomalous $\mathbb Z_2$ topological order, where all anyons carry mirror-symmetry fractionalization $M^2=-1$. The identification of such anomalous crystalline symmetry fractionalization implies that in a two-dimensional $\mathbb Z_2$ spin liquid the vison excitation cannot carry $M^2=-1$ if the spinon carries $M^2=-1$ or a half-integer spin.

description: On-farm demonstration of improved faba bean varieties was conducted in Adaba and Dodola districts of West Arsi Zone and Sinana, Goba and Agarfa of Bale Zone. The main objective of the study was to demonstrate and evaluate recently released Aloshe variety along with standard check. The demonstration was under taken on single plot of 10m x 10m area for each variety with the spacing of 40 cm between rows and recommended seed rate of 180 kg ha-1 and fertilizer rate of 100 qt ha-1 NPS. Mini-field day involving different stakeholders was organized at each respective site. Yield data per plot was recorded and analysed using descriptive statistics, while farmers' preference to the demonstrated varieties was identified using focused group discussion and summarized using pair wise and simple ranking methods. The demonstration result revealed that Aloshe variety performed better than the standard check of Mosisa variety with an average yield of 35.97 qt ha-1, while that of the standard check was 28.50 qt ha-1. Aloshe variety had 26.21% yield advantage over the standard check. This variety was selected by farmers in Adaba, Dodola and Agarfa. Thus, Aloshe variety was recommended for further scaling up in the area it was selected.
Infant Growth: Associations with Health and Developmental Outcomes in Adolescents Born Extremely Preterm

description: The objective of this study was to evaluate the association between infant weight gain and health and neurodevelopmental outcomes at 10 and 15 years of age among children born extremely preterm. A cohort of neonates born extremely preterm were evaluated for weight gain in the first two years of life and cognitive, behavioral, and health outcomes at 10 and 15 years of age. Infant weight gain was classified as “slower” if the increase in weight z score in the first two years after discharge from neonatal intensive care was less than -0.67 and “faster” if the increase in weight z score was greater than 0.67. Infants with an increase in weight z score during the first two years of -0.67 to +0.67 served as the referent group. Associations between two-year weight gain and outcomes at 10 and 15 years of age were evaluated with logistic regression models, adjusting for maternal body mass index, maternal education, maternal eligibility for Medicaid, and neonatal complications, i.e., sepsis, retinopathy of prematurity, necrotizing enterocolitis, chronic lung disease, and severe neonatal brain injury identified on ultrasound. In contrast to the study hypothesis, except for a higher rate of anxiety at 15 years among participants with faster infant weight gain, neither faster nor slower infant weight gain was associated with adverse health or neurodevelopmental outcomes at either 10 or 15 years. In a pre-specified test of interaction between sex and infant weight gain, faster infant weight gain was associated more strongly with obesity among females than among males. In this cohort of individuals born extremely preterm, the change in weight z score in the first two years after discharge from neonatal intensive care was not associated with health or developmental outcomes in adolescence.

Oral Mucositis – Evidence, Protocols, and Practice
Creators: name: Huber, Emily

description: Oral mucositis (OM) can be a distressing complication secondary to both certain chemotherapy and radiation therapies. Around 40% of patients treated with chemotherapy are at risk for developing OM; this percentage rises to about 90% for patients who are treated with both chemotherapy and head and neck radiation therapy (Pulito et al., 2020). This paper examines and interprets both the clinical practice guidelines for OM, utilizing the Multinational Association for Supportive Care in Cancer (MASCC) Clinical Practice Guidelines and compares it to the clinical protocol used on an inpatient oncology unit at UNC Healthcare Cancer Hospital (Hong et al., 2019). Additionally, nurses on this unit were interviewed regarding their knowledge and practices of basic oral care for the management and prevention of oral mucositis and a patient with OM was interviewed about their experience.

description: In chemometrics, data from infrared or near-infrared (NIR) spectroscopy are often used to identify a compound or to analyze the composition of amaterial. This involves the calibration of models that predict the concentration ofmaterial constituents from the measured NIR spectrum. An interesting aspect of multivariate calibration is to achieve a particular accuracy level with a minimum number of training samples, as this reduces the number of laboratory tests and thus the cost of model building. In these chemometric models, the input refers to a proper representation of the spectra and the output to the concentrations of the sample constituents. The search for a most informative new calibration sample thus has to be performed in the output space of the model, rather than in the input space as in conventionalmodeling problems. In this paper, we propose to solve the corresponding inversion problem by utilizing the disagreements of an ensemble of neural networks to represent the prediction error in the unexplored component space. The next calibration sample is then chosen at a composition where the individual models of the ensemble disagree most. The results obtained for a realistic chemometric calibration example show that the proposed active learning can achieve a given calibration accuracy with less training samples than random sampling.

Constant-complexity Stochastic Simulation Algorithm with Optimal Binning

description: At the cellular scale, biochemical processes are governed by random interactions between reactant molecules with small copy counts, leading to behavior that is inherently stochastic. Such systems are often modeled as continuous-time Markov jump processes that can be described by the Chemical Master Equation. Gillespie's Stochastic Simulation Algorithm (SSA) generates exact trajectories of these systems. The amount of computational work required for each step of the original SSA is proportional to the number of reaction channels, leading to computational complexity that scales linearly as the problem size increases. The original SSA is therefore inefficient for large problems, which has prompted the development of several alternative formulations with improved scaling properties. We describe an exact SSA that uses a table data structure with event time binning to achieve constant computational complexity. Optimal algorithm parameters and binning strategies are discussed. We compare the computational efficiency of the algorithm to existing methods and demonstrate excellent scaling for large problems. This method is well suited for generating exact trajectories of large models that can be described by the Reaction-Diffusion Master Equation arising from spatially discretized reaction-diffusion processes.

description: Characterizing the masses and orbits of near-Earth-mass planets is crucial for interpreting observations from future direct imaging missions (e.g., HabEx, LUVOIR). Therefore, the Exoplanet Science Strategy report recommended further research so future extremely precise radial velocity surveys could contribute to the discovery and/or characterization of near-Earth-mass planets in the habitable zones of nearby stars prior to the launch of these future imaging missions. Newman et al. (2023) simulated such 10 yr surveys under various telescope architectures, demonstrating they can precisely measure the masses of potentially habitable Earth-mass planets in the absence of stellar variability. Here, we investigate the effect of stellar variability on the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of the planet mass measurements in these simulations. We find that correlated noise due to active regions has the largest effect on the observed mass S/N, reducing the S/N by a factor of ∼5.5 relative to the no-variability scenario; granulation reduces by a factor of ∼3, while p-mode oscillations has little impact on the proposed survey strategies. We show that in the presence of correlated noise, 5 cm s−1 instrumental precision offers little improvement over 10 cm s−1 precision, highlighting the need to mitigate astrophysical variability. With our noise models, extending the survey to 15 yr doubles the number of Earth-analogs with mass S/N > 10, and reaching this threshold for any Earth-analog orbiting a star >0.76 M ⊙ in a 10 yr survey would require an increase in the number of observations per star from that in Newman et al. (2023).
Chirality-Protected Majorana Zero Modes at the Gapless Edge of Abelian Quantum Hall States

description: We show that the $ν=8$ integer quantum Hall state can support Majorana zero modes at domain walls between its two different stable chiral edge phases without superconductivity. This is due to the existence of an edge phase that does not support gapless fermionic excitations; all gapless excitations are bosonic in this edge phase. Majorana fermion zero modes occur at a domain wall between this edge phase and the more conventional one that does support gapless fermions. Remarkably, due to the chirality of the system, the topological degeneracy of these zero modes has exponential protection, as a function of the relevant length scales, in spite of the presence of gapless excitations, including gapless fermions. These results are compatible with charge conservation, but do not require it. We discuss generalizations to other integer and fractional quantum Hall states, and classify possible mechanisms for appearance of Majorana zero modes at domain walls.

title: Artificial self-awareness for robots

description: Robots are evolving and entering into various sectors and aspects of life. While humans are aware of their bodies and capabilities, which help them work on a task in different environments, robots are not. This thesis is about defining and developing a robotic artificial self-awareness framework. The aim is to allow robots to adapt to their environment and better manage their task. The robot’s artificial self-aware knowledge is captured based on levels where each level helps a robot acquire higher self-awareness competence. These levels are inspired by Rochat [1] self-awareness development levels in humans, where each level is associated with a complexity of self-knowledge. Self-awareness in humans leads to distinguishing themselves from the environment, allowing humans to understand themselves and control their capabilities. This work focuses on the first and second levels of self awareness through differentiation and situation (minimal self). The artificial self-awareness level-1 proposes the first step towards a basic, minimal self-awareness in a robot. The artificial self-awareness level-2 proposes an increasing capacity of self-awareness knowledge in the robot. That is, this thesis posits an experimental methodology to evaluate whether the robot can differentiate and situate itself from the environment and to test whether artificial self-awareness level-1 and level-2 increase a robot’s self-certainty in an unseen environment. The research utilises deep neural network techniques to allow a dual-arm robot to identify itself within different environments. The robot vision and proprioception are captured using a camera and robot sensors to build a model that allows a robot to differentiate itself from the environment. The level-1 results indicate that a robot can distinguish itself with an accuracy of 80.3% on average in different environmental settings and under confounding input signals. Also, the level-2 results show that a robot can situate itself in different environments with an accuracy of 86.01% yielding a higher artificial self-certainty of 5.71%. This thesis work helps a robot be aware of itself in different environments.
