description: This thesis focusses on aboriginal settlement patterns in the Upper Stikine River drainage, northwestern British Columbia. Utilizing an ecological approach to investigate this problem, palaeoenvironmental and archaeological field work were conducted on the Spatsizi and Klastline Plateaux. The objective was to evaluate a series of hypotheses concerning the interrelationship between culture and environment over the last 3,000 years. These test hypotheses were formulated from information supplied by an ethnographic model of subsistence (Albright 1982) and, environmental and archaeological studies conducted in the region. Palynological evidence suggests that the research area is characterized by environmental stability during this time period. Therefore, it was assumed that the effective resource base has not changed. Archaeological investigations resulted in discovery of 67 prehistoric sites. The locations of these sites are influenced by local, regional and seasonal variations in the resource base. Settlement locations are oriented to forest/aquatic ecotonal communities where human accessibility to a range of important fixed (ie., landform, water source etc.) and mobile (ie., ungulate populations} resources is maximized. Site density in the study area is low (0.15 - 1. 1 km^2) as local aboriginal populations tended to exploit dispersed and mobile resources such as caribou. Sites recorded are generally small and transitory, representative of short-term occupations by small hunting parties. Seasonal changes in resource abundance and availability forced frequent camp relocation, as well as changes in group size. Therefore, settlement mobility and flexibility of social organization were strategies employed to cope with resource variability and unpredictability. Techniques employed to exploit resources were simple, characterized by relatively homogeneous tool assemblages dominated by obsidian flakes. Palaeoenvironmental, archaeological and historic evidence suggest that fire was an important exploitative tool. Conclusions indicate that the ethnographic tradition of dispersed fall/winter hunting and camping in the study area is supported archaeologically. The historic Hyland Post Trail closely follows an ancient aboriginal route 1inking fall/winter hunting areas on the Spatsizi and Klastline Plateaux with obsidian quarries on Mount Edziza and summer fishing villages situated in the Telegraph Creek area.

description: Systematic reviews on diagnostic test accuracy studies provide an overview of the current literature in a systematic and transparent manner. They are the highest level of evidence in clinical research, therefore they are critical to decision-making in the healthcare setting. Cancer is the primary source of mortality in Canada, however early detection of tumors can improve the survival rates and long-term health outcomes of patients. The primary method of cancer diagnosis is histopathological assessment, however, its use remains controversial. It is an invasive procedure and requires resources and clinical expertise not readily available. Noninvasive clinical imaging has been studied as a clinically desirable method for cancer diagnosis, however its diagnostic accuracy has yet to be established in the medical setting. With the increased role of DTA research in medicine, the current literature needs to be summarized in an effective way to properly educate and influence clinical decision-making. The objective of this thesis is to address the current evidence gaps in DTA research by conducting several systematic reviews to evaluate the accuracy of diagnostic methods in cancer-related imaging. The last chapter of the thesis will provide a critical reflection on the current landscape of DTA studies in cancer-related imaging, based on the findings of the reviews in the thesis.

description: Context: Episodic flaring activity is a common feature of X-ray pulsars in HMXBs. In some Be/X-ray binaries flares were observed in quiescence or prior to outbursts. EXO 2030+375 is a Be/X-ray binary showing "normal" outbursts almost every ~46 days, near periastron passage of the orbital revolution. Some of these outbursts were occasionally monitored with the INTEGRAL observatory. Aims: The INTEGRAL data revealed strong quasi-periodic flaring activity during the rising part of one of the system's outburst. Such activity has previously been observed in EXO 2030+375 only once, in 1985 with EXOSAT. (Some indications of single flares have also been observed with other satellites.) Methods: We present the analysis of the flaring behavior of the source based on INTEGRAL data and compare it with the flares observed in EXO 2030+375 in 1985. Results: Based on the observational properties of the flares, we argue that the instability at the inner edge of the accretion disk is the most probable cause of the flaring activity.

EVALUATION OF DIET COMPOSITION OF PEDIATRIC CANCER SURVIVORS AS A NEED FOR NUTRITION COUNSELING
Creators: name: O'Nan, Sean
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Dietetics and Clinical Nutrition

description: Prior research has shown that pediatric cancer survivors face a multitude of longterm effects from treatment of their disease. Many of these conditions can be treated or managed through proper nutrition, however patients of the DanceBlue Kentucky Children's Hospital Hematology/Oncology Clinic do not see a registered dietitian. This study looked at food and drink consumption of the past 30 days by the patient using the NHANES Dietary Screener Questionnaire to see if they met nutrition recommendations as outlined by the 2015‐2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. Results from the study found that off‐treatment pediatric cancer survivors (n=21) failed to meet dietary recommendations in fruit and vegetable, whole grain, and dairy intake. It was also shown that participants exceeded their limit of added sugars. From these findings it was concluded that pediatric cancer survivors in the DanceBlue Kentucky Children’s Hospital Hematology/Oncology Clinic would benefit from nutrition counseling and education provided by a Registered Dietitian.

description: Στη σημερινή εποχή που η εκπαίδευση και η απόκτηση προσόντων αποτελεί αδήριτη ανάγκη, στόχος της παρούσας ποιοτικής έρευνας είναι η διερεύνηση των απόψεων και εμπειριών μιας ομάδας γυναικών (Ν = 12) που διέκοψαν τη φοίτησή τους στο σχολείο στα χρόνια της πρώιμης νεότητας τους και επανήλθαν σε εσπερινό Επαγγελματικό Λύκειο (ΕΠΑ.Λ.) για την περάτωση των σπουδών τους. Τα ερευνητικά ερωτήματα που τέθηκαν προς διερεύνηση αφορούσαν τους λόγους που οδήγησαν τις γυναίκες αυτές αρχικά να πάρουν την απόφαση να εγκαταλείψουν το σχολείο και στη συνέχεια να επιστρέψουν σε αυτό, τον τρόπο με τον οποίο βίωσαν την επιστροφή τους στο σχολείο, τα επαγγελματικά τους σχέδια και τις γενικότερες προσδοκίες τους για το μέλλον, καθώς και τον ρόλο που έπαιξε η έμφυλη ταυτότητα σε όλα τα παραπάνω. Η συλλογή των δεδομένων έγινε με τη χρήση ατομικών, ημι-δομημένων συνεντεύξεων, ενώ η διαδικασία της ανάλυσης των δεδομένων πραγματοποιήθηκε γύρω από τέσσερις βασικούς άξονες, οι οποίοι δημιουργήθηκαν με βάση τα ερευνητικά ερωτήματα της έρευνας. Για την ανάλυση των αποτελεσμάτων χρησιμοποιήθηκε η μέθοδος της ερμηνευτικής φαινομενολογικής ανάλυσης, από την οποία προέκυψαν δέκα θεματικές και επιμέρους υπο-θεματικές. Από τα ευρήματα της έρευνας αναδείχθηκε η θετική συμβολή των ΕΠΑ.Λ. στην προσωπική, κοινωνική και επαγγελματική ανάπτυξη των συμμετεχουσών παρά τις δυσκολίες με τις οποίες ήρθαν αντιμέτωπες.
description: Nowadays, living in an era in which education and the acquisition of qualifications have become an overwhelming and imperative need, the purpose of the present qualitative study is to investigate the views and experiences of a group of women (Ν = 12) who dropped out of school in their early youth and decided to return to an evening Vocational High School in order to complete their studies. The main research questions which were put into investigation highlighted the reasons that led these women drop out of school and then return to it, the way they experienced their return to school, their professional plans and expectations for the future, as well as the role that gender identity played in all the above. Data was collected through individual, semi-structured interviews, while the process of data analysis was carried out around four main key elements, which were created according to the research questions of the study. The analysis of the results was conducted by the use of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, through which ten themes and sub-themes emerged. The principal outcomes of the study indicated the positive contribution of the Vocational High School to the personal, social and professional development of the participants despite the difficulties they encountered.

description: The BridgET project delivered nine concrete project results that together offer a comprehensive and innovative contribution to marine geoscience education. These include:

A policy recommendation (PR01), based on a comparative analysis of MSc programmes and stakeholder engagement, outlining the key skills required inthe marine geoscience labour market.

Four handbooks and technical guidelines (PR02, PR04, PR06, PR09) that provide standardised methodologies for geospatial data acquisition and processing, including UAV-based bathymetry, underwater photogrammetry, and integrated 3D modelling for geohazard assessment.

Four online platforms and digital learning environments (PR03, PR05, PR07, PR08), including an interactive 360° virtual guide, a VR toolkit for exploring volcanic seafloor environments, a virtual cruise aboard a polar research vessel, and immersive Story Maps developed from multisource datasets.

One curriculum package (PR09), composed of a curriculum design framework, a teaching module syllabus, and an annotated inventory of open-access VR/3D resources, supporting the development of future courses in marine and coastal geohazards.

These outputs promote reusability, openness, and cross-institutional adoption, and have already been partially integrated into MSc and doctoral programmes by several partner universities.

description: We present deep infrared (Ks band) imaging polarimetry and radio (1.4 and 4.8 GHz) polarimetry of the enigmatic transient Swift J164449.3+573451. This source appears to be a short lived jet phenomenon in a galaxy at redshift z = 0.354, activated by a sudden mass accretion onto the central massive black hole, possibly caused by the tidal disruption of a star. We aim to find evidence for this scenario through linear polarimetry, as linear polarisation is a sensitive probe of jet physics, source geometry and the various mechanisms giving rise to the observed radiation. We find a formal Ks band polarisation measurement of P_lin = 7.4 +/- 3.5 % (including systematic errors). Our radio observations show continuing brightening of the source, which allows sensitive searches for linear polarisation as a function of time. We find no evidence of linear polarisation at radio wavelengths of 1.4 GHz and 4.8 GHz at any epoch, with the most sensitive 3 sigma limits as deep as 2.1%. These upper limits are in agreement with expectations from scenarios in which the radio emission is produced by the interaction of a relativistic jet with a dense circumsource medium. We further demonstrate how the polarisation properties can be used to derive properties of the jet in Swift J164449.3+573451, exploiting the similarities between this source and the afterglows of gamma-ray bursts.

description: Surveys above 10 keV represent one of the the best resources to provide an unbiased census of the population of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN). We present the results of 60 months of observation of the hard X-ray sky with Swift/BAT. In this timeframe, BAT detected (in the 15--55 keV band) 720 sources in an all-sky survey of which 428 are associated with AGN, most of which are nearby. Our sample has negligible incompleteness and statistics a factor of \sim2 larger over similarly complete sets of AGN. Our sample contains (at least) 15 bona-fide Compton-thick AGN and 3 likely candidates. Compton-thick AGN represent a ~5% of AGN samples detected above 15 keV. We use the BAT dataset to refine the determination of the LogN--LogS of AGN which is extremely important, now that NuSTAR prepares for launch, towards assessing the AGN contribution to the cosmic X-ray background. We show that the LogN--LogS of AGN selected above 10 keV is now established to a ~10% precision. We derive the luminosity function of Compton-thick AGN and measure a space density of 7.9$^{+4.1}_{-2.9}\times10^{-5}$\,Mpc$^{-3}$ for objects with a de-absorbed luminosity larger than 2$\times10^{42}$\,erg s$^{-1}$. As the BAT AGN are all mostly local, they allow us to investigate the spatial distribution of AGN in the nearby Universe regardless of absorption. We find concentrations of AGN that coincide spatially with the largest congregations of matter in the local (<85 Mpc) Universe. There is some evidence that the fraction of Seyfert 2 objects is larger than average in the direction of these dense regions.

The cross-sections for these processes are simulated with the use of parton distributions in hadrons. In this work we estimate the possibility to extract parton distributions in the pion from the data on these cross-sections and also search for signatures of fundamental differences in the pion and proton structure.

title: Negotiating the centre: Community and public investment projects in Huamachuco, Peru
Creators: name: Wilson, Anna
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2021

description: The growth of large-scale mining in Peru has increased government budgets, and public investment projects have proliferated. Whilst projects are viewed as a way to decrease inequality, local government implementation is often criticised by regional and local elites due to a ‘lack of capacity’. This research considers how projects are chosen and undertaken in the northern Andean district of Huamachuco. Ethnographic fieldwork focused on urban elites in Huamachuco and, including several rural villages, shows how government processes become incorporated and adapted into local social relations, shaping projects and their effects. The thesis argues that Andean duality, a socio-spatial organising principle core to regional ethnographies, is key to understanding how communities engage government bureaucracies in the creation of projects. Andean duality and the concept of a central liminal space negotiated through ‘boundary objects’ (Star and Griesemer, 1989), are used to demonstrate how public investment projects are active monuments to the relationships which create them, not inert once completed but continuing as liminal centres of relationship (re)negotiation and (re)making. Projects are shown to be articulated into ideals of moral communal behaviour through scales of interaction in time and space, becoming a focus for the negotiation of relative identities and expressions of ‘progress’. Whilst national government rules and processes claim certainties and knowledge conducive to progress, global gold price fluctuations, tax receipt timings and unequal social negotiations over the division of resources create inherent uncertainty. Claims to progress through project processes transfers risk to local actors, who are blamed for incompetence if projects do not produce desired effects. From design to implementation of projects, the thesis shows how they are sites of power and hierarchy simultaneously including and excluding local actors. Projects are assessed as mutually constructive sites through which relationships are built to provide possibilities, albeit limited, to incrementally challenge power relations.

description: In an effort to determine differences between family dinners across generations, this study examined typical family dinners of participants and how they have changed across the four generations addressed. Previous qualitative research has been conducted to determine communication frames that occur during family dinners and the effect of parenting styles on family dinners, but little research connecting generational differences to family dinners has been published. Data were collected from a homogeneous sample of twenty-four women living in three counties across the Commonwealth of Kentucky. By asking open ended questions during interviews, similarities and differences between family dinners across generations were identified, and target approaches to increase the frequency of future family dinners were discussed.

description: The purpose of this study was to field test a two-tiered instrument including multiple-choice and short answer tasks to assess college students’ ideas and level of understanding in genetics. The instrument was constructed from previously tested assessment tasks and findings from the current research literature. Ninety-seven freshmen enrolled in a biology lab course were surveyed. Test validity and reliability were measured using Chronbach coefficients. Multiple-choice and short answer responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics to identify frequencies of answer selections. Written responses were independently evaluated using a five-point scoring rubric by three researchers to identify common misconceptions revealed in students’ written responses. A purposeful stratified sample of 15 students was selected across low, middle, and high performance on the instrument for individual interviews.  Findings revealed that undergraduates have a variety of ideas concerning gene concepts. While the instrument revealed student conceptual difficulties, there also were issues with previously tested survey items. The findings suggest students possess superficial understanding regarding transcription and translation. Students also hold hybrid conceptual models of gene structure and function. The paper presents a critique of the instrument and discusses the broader impacts to teaching and learning college biology. Recommendations for improving assessment techniques also are discussed.

description: Globular clusters are an excellent laboratory for stellar population and dynamical research. Recent studies have shown that these stellar systems are not as simple as previously assumed. With multiple stellar populations as well as outer rotation and mass segregation they turn out to exhibit high complexity. This includes intermediate-mass black holes which are proposed to sit at the centers of some massive globular clusters. Today's high angular resolution ground based spectrographs allow velocity-dispersion measurements at a spatial resolution comparable to the radius of influence for plausible IMBH masses, and to detect changes in the inner velocity-dispersion profile. Together with high quality photometric data from HST, it is possible to constrain black-hole masses by their kinematic signatures. We determine the central velocity-dispersion profile of the globular cluster NGC 2808 using VLT/FLAMES spectroscopy. In combination with HST/ACS data our goal is to probe whether this massive cluster hosts an intermediate-mass black hole at its center and constrain the cluster mass to light ratio as well as its total mass. We derive a velocity-dispersion profile from integral field spectroscopy in the center and Fabry Perot data for larger radii. High resolution HST data are used to obtain the surface brightness profile. Together, these data sets are compared to dynamical models with varying parameters such as mass to light ratio profiles and black-hole masses. Using analytical Jeans models in combination with variable M/L profiles from N-body simulations we find that the best fit model is a no black hole solution. After applying various Monte Carlo simulations to estimate the uncertainties, we derive an upper limit of the back hole mass of M_BH < 1 x 10^4 M_SUN (with 95 % confidence limits) and a global mass-to-light ratio of M/L_V = (2.1 +- 0.2) M_SUN/L_SUN.

description: Η πορνογραφία έχει παρεισφρήσει σήμερα σε πολλές πτυχές της κοινωνικής ζωής του ανθρώπου και αποτελεί αντικείμενο διεπιστημονικής μελέτης. Ο ηθικός προβληματισμός που αναπτύσσεται γύρω από την πορνογραφία αφορά σε μεγάλο εύρος θεμάτων, όπως είναι η σεξουαλικότητα, η βία, η εμπορευματοποίηση του σώματος, η διασκέδαση, ενώ οι απόψεις που προβάλλονται είναι ποικίλες και κυμαίνονται από την πλήρη αποδοχή ως την πλήρη απόρριψη. Στην παρούσα εργασία μελετάται μια σημαντική πτυχή του θέματος και συγκεκριμένα η συσχέτιση της πορνογραφίας με την έμφυλη βία. Ξεκινώντας με μία σύντομη ιστορική αναδρομή για την πορνογραφία, ακολουθεί η παρουσίαση διαφόρων ηθικών προσεγγίσεων σχετικά με τη χρήση και κατανάλωση πορνογραφικού υλικού, περιγράφεται ο κίνδυνος δημιουργίας Εθισμού στη Διαδικτυακή Πορνογραφία παρουσιάζοντας ταυτόχρονα σχετικά ερευνητικά δεδομένα, τα οποία αξιολογούνται εν τέλει υπό το πρίσμα της Χριστιανικής Ηθικής και της ευρύτερης διδασκαλίας της Εκκλησίας για τα θεάματα και τις ηδονές. Ακολουθώντας τους ρυθμούς της δυναμικά εξελισσόμενης σύγχρονης κοινωνίας, η πορνογραφία αλλάζει διαρκώς μορφή και περιεχόμενο, προκειμένου να ανταποκριθεί στην ανθρώπινη επιθυμία για ηδονή. Η Χριστιανική Ηθική καλείται να μελετήσει τις σύγχρονες εξελίξεις στο θέμα αυτό και με βάση τη διδασκαλία της για τον άνθρωπο, τα δύο φύλα, τη σεξουαλικότητα, και τον σεβασμό της αξιοπρέπειας του ανθρώπου να τον βοηθήσει στην πνευματική και κοινωνική του ζωή.
description: Pornography has today infiltrated many aspects of our social life and has thus become subject of interdisciplinary study. The moral reflection that develops around it concerns a profusion of issues, such as sexuality, violence, the commercialization of the body, entertainment, while the opinions presented range from complete acceptance to utter rejection. This paper explores an important aspect of the subject that is the correlation of pornography with gender-based violence. Starting with a brief historical review of pornography, a presentation of various ethical approaches is follows with regards to the use and consumption of pornographic material. The risk of Internet Pornography Addiction emerging is then discussed, while relevant research data is also provided. The aforementioned is finally evaluated in the light of Christian Ethics and the Church's wider teaching on spectacles and pleasures. Following the rhythms of our dynamically evolving modern society, pornography becomes malleable, constantly changing form and content in order to respond to the human desire for pleasure. Christian Ethics is called upon to study the modern developments in this matter with the ultimate goal to help man in his spiritual and social life, based on its teaching about him per se, the two sexes, sexuality as well as the respect to human dignity.

description: A set of reduced Hall magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) equations are used to evaluate the stability of large aspect ratio current sheets to the formation of plasmoids (secondary islands). Reconnection is driven by resistivity in this analysis, which occurs at the resistive skin depth $d_η\equiv S_L^{-1/2} \sqrt{L v_A/γ}$, where $S_L$ is the Lundquist number, $L$ the length of the current sheet, $v_A$ the Alfvén speed, and $γ$ the growth rate. Modifications to a recent resistive MHD analysis [N.\ F.\ Loureiro, A.\ A.\ Schekochihin, and S.\ C. Cowley, Phys.\ Plasmas {\bf 14}, 100703 (2007)] arise when collisions are sufficiently weak that $d_η$ is shorter than the ion skin depth $d_i \equiv c/ω_{pi}$. Secondary islands grow faster in this Hall MHD regime: the maximum growth rate scales as $(d_i/L)^{6/13} S_L^{7/13} v_A/L$ and the number of plasmoids as $(d_i/L)^{1/13} S_L^{11/26}$, compared to $S_L^{1/4} v_A/L$ and $S^{3/8}$, respectively, in resistive MHD.

description: An experiment using the 11B(3He,d)12C reaction was performed at iThemba LABS at an incident energy of 44 MeV and analyzed with a high energy-resolution magnetic spectrometer, to re-investigate states in 12C published in 1971. The original investigation reported the existence of an 11.16 MeV state in 12C that displays a 2+ nature. In the present experiment data were acquired at laboratory angles of 25-, 30- and 35- degrees, to be as close to the c.m. angles of the original measurements where the clearest signature of such a state was observed. These new low background measurements revealed no evidence of the previously reported state at 11.16 MeV in 12C.

description: Microglial receptors CD14, CD36, and CD47, and TLRs, may all be able to detect Aß oligomers and fibrils. The neurodegenerative process begins when Aß binds to either CD36 or TLR4,setting off an inflammatory cascade of chemokines and cytokines. TLR4 has been implicated in type 2 diabetes and Alzheimer's disease as of late. Several diabetes-related clinical problems, as well as changes in the body's internal environment and the brain's microenvironment, have been connected to TLR4 activation.

 Clinical trials have demonstrated that TLR4 inhibitors not only decrease the likelihood of getting sick but also increase life expectancy. Molecular docking and molecular dynamics modelling were used to examine the effectiveness of antidiabetic drugs against the TLR4 receptor. Parlodel's primary interactions were anticipated with the help of molecular docking investigations. With a binding affinity of -9.6 kcal/mol, it was the most promising of the candidates. The interaction pattern between Parlodel and the TLR4 receptor was verified by running a molecular dynamic simulation at a time scale of 50 nanoseconds. By making substantial contact with the active site, Parlodel ensured the complex's structural integrity was maintained throughout its rapid expansion. In light of these findings, further research into Parlodel's potential as a lead drug for TLR4 receptors is warranted. Accompanied Drawing.

Break-junction experiments on the zero-bias anomaly of non-magnetic and ferromagnetically ordered metals

description: We have investigated break junctions of normal non-magnetic metals as well as ferromagnets at low temperatures. The point contacts with radii 0.15 - 15 nm showed zero-bias anomalies which can be attributed to Kondo scattering at a single Kondo impurity at the contact or to the switching of a single conducting channel. The Kondo temperatures derived from the width of the anomalies varied between 10 and 1000 K. These results agree well with literature data on atomic-size contacts of the ferromagnets as well as with spear-anvil type contacts on a wide variety of metals.

description: Population structure is influenced by extrinsic factors, such as landscape architecture and dispersal barriers. Lotic network architecture is known to constrain ecological, demographic and evolutionary processes, including population genetic structure. I  assessed the population structure of a widespread aquatic salamander, Necturus maculosus, across  three river basins in central and eastern Kentucky. I examined the role of network architecture,  anthropogenic barriers, and spatial scale on patterns of population structure. I also provided a  review of N. maculosus capture methods and offer an improved trap design. I identified significant  structuring between the combined Licking/Kinniconick basin and the Kentucky River basin, with  further structure within each basin. I found evidence for both hierarchically organized populations  structure (e.g. Stream Hierarchy Model), as well as population structure unaffected by network  hierarchy (e.g. Death Valley Model). These results highlight the importance of scale when examining  population structure. Whereas one model may suffice to explain population structure at a local  scale, a second model may be necessary to accurately describe the population structure across  larger spatial scales. These results suggest that local factors affect population structure  uniquely across a species’ range, and support a multi-model approach for assessing population structure.

description: Individual metallic single-wall carbon nanotubes show unsual non-Ohmic transport behaviors at high bias fields. For low resistance contact samples, the differential conductance dI/dV increases with increasing bias, reaching a maximum at $\sim$ 100mV. As the bias increases further, dI/dV drops dramatically [Yao et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 84, 2941 (2000)]. The higher the bias, the system behaves in a more normal (Ohmic) manner. This so-called zero-bias anomaly is temperature-dependent (50--150K). We propose a new interpretation. Supercurrent runs in the graphene wall below $\sim$ 150K. The normal conduction-electron currents run outside the wall, which are subject to the scattering by phonons and impurities. The currents along the tube induce circulating magnetic fields and eventually destroy the supercurrent in the wall at high enough bias, and restore the Ohmic behavior. If the prevalent ballistic electron model is adopted, then the scattering effects cannot be discussed.

description: In this paper, we consider a partially linear model of the form $Y_t=X_t^τθ_0+g(V_t)+ε_t$, $t=1,...,n$, where $\{V_t\}$ is a $β$ null recurrent Markov chain, $\{X_t\}$ is a sequence of either strictly stationary or non-stationary regressors and $\{ε_t\}$ is a stationary sequence. We propose to estimate both $θ_0$ and $g(\cdot)$ by a semi-parametric least-squares (SLS) estimation method. Under certain conditions, we then show that the proposed SLS estimator of $θ_0$ is still asymptotically normal with the same rate as for the case of stationary time series. In addition, we also establish an asymptotic distribution for the nonparametric estimator of the function $g(\cdot)$. Some numerical examples are provided to show that our theory and estimation method work well in practice.

description: The vast expansion of the internet brought many advancements in our society and overall made our every day lives better. With these advancements came the need for privacy and security of our personal sensitive information from people that are unauthorised to have access to them. Companies must protect their networks from adversaries, making sure that their customers data are kept secret and private (confidentiality), remain trustworthy and free from tampering (integrity) and also having their services available at them at any point (availability). In order to resolve this problem, researchers developed a security solution called Intrusion Detection System or IDS. An IDS is a security tool which detects malicious or suspicious activities inside a network and notifies the security officers in order to investigate and mitigate the attack. In the recent years adversaries and malwares have become even more sophisticated increasing the need for more advanced detection systems. The solution came with the implementation of intrusion detection system using machine learning which helped improving the overall detection capabilities.
