description: We show that $m$ points and $n$ two-dimensional algebraic surfaces in $\mathbb{R}^4$ can have at most $O(m^{\frac{k}{2k-1}}n^{\frac{2k-2}{2k-1}}+m+n)$ incidences, provided that the algebraic surfaces behave like pseudoflats with $k$ degrees of freedom, and that $m\leq n^{\frac{2k+2}{3k}}$. As a special case, we obtain a Szemerédi-Trotter type theorem for 2--planes in $\mathbb{R}^4$, provided $m\leq n$ and the planes intersect transversely. As a further special case, we obtain a Szemerédi-Trotter type theorem for complex lines in $\mathbb{C}^2$ with no restrictions on $m$ and $n$ (this theorem was originally proved by Tóth using a different method). As a third special case, we obtain a Szemerédi-Trotter type theorem for complex unit circles in $\mathbb{C}^2$. We obtain our results by combining several tools, including a two-level analogue of the discrete polynomial partitioning theorem and the crossing lemma.

description: We isolate a class of smooth rational cubic fourfolds X containing a plane whose associated quadric surface bundle does not have a rational section. This is equivalent to the nontriviality of the Brauer class of the even Clifford algebra over the K3 surface S of degree 2 arising from X. Specifically, we show that in the moduli space of cubic fourfolds, the intersection of divisors C_8 and C_14 has five irreducible components. In the component corresponding to the existence of a tangent conic to the sextic degeneration curve of the quadric bundle, we prove that the general member is both pfaffian and has nontrivial Brauer class. Such cubic fourfolds also provide twisted derived equivalences between K3 surfaces of degree 2 and 14, hence further corroboration of Kuznetsov's derived categorical conjecture on the rationality of cubic fourfolds.

Performance improvements in crawling modern Web applications
Creators: name: Zarei, Alireza
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Today, a considerable portion of our society relies on Web applications to perform numerous tasks in every day life; for example, transferring money over wire or purchasing flight tickets. To ascertain such pervasive Web applications perform robustly, various tools are introduced in the software engineering research community and the industry. Web application crawlers are an instance of such tools used in testing and analysis of Web applications. Software testing, and in particular testing Web applications, play an imperative role in ensuring the quality and reliability of software systems. In this thesis, we aim at optimizing the crawling of modern Web applications in terms of memory and time performances. Modern Web applications are event driven and have dynamic states in contrast to classic Web applications. Aiming at improving the crawling process of modern Web applications, we focus on state transition management and scalability of the crawling process. To improve the time performance of the state transition management mechanism, we propose three alternative techniques revised incrementally. In addition, aiming at increasing the state coverage, i.e. increasing the number of states crawled in a Web application, we propose an alternative solution, reducing the memory consumption, for storage and retrieval of dynamic states in Web applications. Moreover, a memory analysis is performed by using memory profiling tools to investigate the areas of memory performance optimization. The enhancements proposed are able to improve the time performance of the state transition management by 253.34%. That is, the time consumption of the default state transition management is 3.53 times the proposed solution time, which in turn means time consumption is reduced by 71.69%. Moreover, the scalability of the crawling process is improved by 88.16%. That is, the proposed solution covers a considerably greater number of states in crawling Web applications. Finally, we identified the bottlenecks of scalability so as to be addressed in future work.

description: We prove an extension to the classical continuity theorem in rough paths. We show that two $p$-rough paths are close in all levels of iterated integrals provided the first $\lfl p \rfl$ terms are close in a uniform sense. Applications include estimation of the difference of the signatures of two uniformly close paths and convergence rates of Gaussian rough paths.

A MULTI-CONSTITUENT FINITE STRAIN HYPERELASTIC MAGNETOQUASISTATIC MODEL FOR MAGNETORHEOLOGICAL ELASTOMERS
Creators: name: Mcgough, Jacob C
Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2023
Subjects: classificationCode: 401707
subject: Solid mechanics

description: Magnetorheological elastomers (MREs) are a type of smart material composed of ferrous particles suspended in a solid elastic matrix [5, 6]. When an external magnetic field is applied to an MRE, the ferrous particles tend to align with the field, causing either deformation and/or a change in the mechanical properties of the system. MREs are utilized in applications such as soft robotics, actuators, sensors, vibration control systems, and mechanical metamaterials[20, 19, 27, 5, 6, 13]. Recent demand for theses technologies has motivated an increasing focus on the material properties of MRE’s over the last 20 years [6]. Multiple authors have proposed a variety of hyperelastic mechanical and magnetomechanical models to describe these materials [16, 12, 15, 25, 14, 38, 2, 6, 8, 24]. The research presented in this dissertation focuses on the modeling and characterization of MRE’s using a systematic development of the conservation and balance laws, Maxwell’s equations, and constitutive equations needed to describe the MRE as a multi-constituent system. The material parameters resulting from the derived constitutive equations are estimated using data collected from a series of compression experiments coupled with an externally applied magnetic field. The multi-constituent constitutive equations predicted the stress of the MRE in these compression experiments for a variety of ferrous particle concentrations.

description: Let $\ell$ and $p$ be odd primes. For a positive integer $μ$ let $k_μ$ be the ray class field of $k=\mathbb{Q}(e^{2πi/\ell})$ modulo $2p^μ$. We present certain class fields $K_μ$ of $k$ such that $k_μ\leq K_μ\leq k_{μ+1}$, and find the degree of $K_μ/k_μ$ explicitly. And we also construct, in the sense of Hilbert, primitive generators of the field $K_μ$ over $k_μ$ by using Shimura's reciprocity law and special values of theta constants.

ON DEMAND: A Conceptual Approach for Teaching Students How to Evaluate the Credibility of Information Sources
Creators: name: Theeke, Matt
Publisher: name: Innovations in Teaching & Learning Conference Proceedings
Year: 2021

description: The ability to evaluate the credibility of information sources is an important information literacy skill that students rely on to access the knowledge needed for learning. However, many students fail to develop this capability and scholars have called for new approaches to develop students’ information literacy skills. In contrast to existing credibility evaluation approaches, which often ask students to apply lists of questions to determine if information sources are credible, this presentation proposes a conceptual approach that can be used to teach students how to evaluate the credibility of information sources. This presentation integrates prior research to develop a conceptual framework to evaluate the credibility of information sources. This presentation also discusses an instructional technique for implementing the credibility evaluation framework in coursework using an enhanced bibliography. By asking students to show how they use the framework to make decisions to include or exclude information sources, this technique allows educators to provide process-oriented feedback that considers both gullibility errors (including information that is not credible) and incredulity errors (excluding credible information).

description: In the presence of a minimal length physical objects cannot collapse to an infinite density, singular, matter point. In this note we consider the possible final stage of the gravitational collapse of "thick" matter layers. The energy momentum tensor we choose to model these shell-like objects is a proper modification of the source for "non-commutative geometry inspired", regular black holes. By using higher momenta of Gaussian distribution to localize matter at finite distance from the origin, we obtain new solutions of the Einstein's equation which smoothly interpolates between Minkowski geometry near the center of the shell and Schwarzschild spacetime far away from the matter layer. The metric is curvature singularity free. Black hole type solutions exist only for "heavy" shells, i.e. $M\ge M_{e}$, where $M_{e}$ is the mass of the extremal configuration. We determine the Hawking temperature and a modified Area Law taking into account the extended nature of the source.

description: Resume,  Iron deficiency conditions (IDC) are the most common deficient conditions in the human population, which are most often found in children and women of reproductive age. Thus, it was found that an obvious or hidden iron deficiency occurs in almost half of preschool children and pregnant women. At the same time, it is noted that the prevalence of ZHD varies in different countries and depends on social and economic conditions. It should be emphasized that the issues of timely diagnosis and adequate treatment of IDD are most acute in children's practice. At the same time, the urgency of the problem of IDC in pediatrics is due not only to the widespread, but also to the significant adverse effect of iron deficiency on the health of children. It is proved that ZHD is the cause of dysfunction of many organs and systems of the body. Резюме, Железодефицитные состояния (ЖДС) — самые распространенные дефицитные состояния в человеческой популяции, которые наиболее часто встречаются у детей и женщин репродуктивного возраста. Так, установлено, что явный или скрытый дефицит железа имеет место практически у половины детей дошкольного возраста и беременных женщин. При этом отмечено, что распространенность ЖДС неодинакова в различных странах и зависит от социальных и экономических условий. Особо следует подчеркнуть, что вопросы своевременной диагностики и адекватного лечения ЖДС имеют наибольшую остроту в детской практике. При этом актуальность проблемы ЖДС в педиатрии обусловлена не только широким распространением, но и существенным неблагоприятным влиянием дефицита железа на состояние здоровья детей. Доказано, что ЖДС является причиной нарушения функций многих органов и систем организма.

On the system CL12 of computability logic

description: Computability logic (see http://www.csc.villanova.edu/~japaridz/CL/) is a long-term project for redeveloping logic on the basis of a constructive game semantics, with games seen as abstract models of interactive computational problems. Among the fragments of this logic successfully axiomatized so far is CL12 --- a conservative extension of classical first-order logic, whose language augments that of classical logic with the so called choice sorts of quantifiers and connectives. This system has already found fruitful applications as a logical basis for constructive and complexity-oriented versions of Peano arithmetic, such as arithmetics for polynomial time computability, polynomial space computability, and beyond. The present paper introduces a third, indispensable complexity measure for interactive computations termed amplitude complexity, and establishes the adequacy of CL12 with respect to A-amplitude, S-space and T-time computability under certain minimal conditions on the triples (A,S,T) of function classes. This result very substantially broadens the potential application areas of CL12. The paper is self-contained, and targets readers with no prior familiarity with the subject.

Dissipation wavenumber and regularity for electron magnetohydrodynamics
Creators: name: Dai, Mimi

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2023

description: We consider the electron magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) with static background ion flow. A special situation of B(x,y,t) = ∇× (a~e z) + b~e z with scalar-valued functions a(x,y,t) and b(x,y,t) was studied numerically in the physics paper [7]. The authors concluded from numerical simulations that there is no evidence of dissipation cutoff for the electron MHD. In this paper we show the existence of determining wavenumber for the electron MHD, and establish a regularity condition only on the low modes of the solution. Our results suggest that the conclusion of the physics paper on the dissipation cutoff for the electron MHD is debatable.

description: Statistical models and methods for determinantal point processes (DPPs) seem largely unexplored. We demonstrate that DPPs provide useful models for the description of spatial point pattern datasets where nearby points repel each other. Such data are usually modelled by Gibbs point processes, where the likelihood and moment expressions are intractable and simulations are time consuming. We exploit the appealing probabilistic properties of DPPs to develop parametric models, where the likelihood and moment expressions can be easily evaluated and realizations can be quickly simulated. We discuss how statistical inference is conducted using the likelihood or moment properties of DPP models, and we provide freely available software for simulation and statistical inference.

description: Pseudotyped viruses are valuable tools for studying virulent or lethal viral pathogens that need to be handled in biosafety level 3 (BSL-3) or higher facilities. With the explosive spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the establishment of a BSL-2 adapted SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus neutralization assay is needed to facilitate the development of countermeasures. Here we describe an approach to generate a single-round lentiviral vector-based SARS-CoV-2 pseudovirus, which produced a signal more than 2 logs above background. Specifically, a SARS-CoV-2 spike variant with a cytoplasmic tail deletion of 13 amino acids, termed SΔCT13, conferred enhanced spike incorporation into pseudovirions and increased viral entry into cells as compared with full-length spike (S). We further compared S and SΔCT13 in terms of their sensitivity to vaccine sera, purified convalescent IgG, hACE2-mIgG, and the virus entry inhibitor BafA1. We developed a SΔCT13-based pseudovirus neutralization assay and defined key assay characteristics, including linearity, limit of detection, and intra- and intermediate-assay precision. Our data demonstrate that the SΔCT13-based pseudovirus shows enhanced infectivity in target cells, which will facilitate the assessment of humoral immunity to SARS-CoV-2 infection, antibody therapeutics, and vaccination. This pseudovirus neutralization assay can also be readily adapted to SARS-CoV-2 variants that emerge. IMPORTANCE SARS-CoV-2 is the etiologic agent of the COVID-19 pandemic. The development of a high throughput pseudovirus neutralization assay is critical for the development of vaccines and immune-based therapeutics. In this study, we show that deletion of the cytoplasmic tail of the SARS-CoV-2 spike leads to pseudoviruses with enhanced infectivity. This SΔCT13-based pseudovirus neutralization assay should be broadly useful for the field.

Qualitative robustness of statistical functionals under strong mixing

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: A new concept of (asymptotic) qualitative robustness for plug-in estimators based on identically distributed possibly dependent observations is introduced, and it is shown that Hampel's theorem for general metrics $d$ still holds. Since Hampel's theorem assumes the UGC property w.r.t. $d$, that is, convergence in probability of the empirical probability measure to the true marginal distribution w.r.t. $d$ uniformly in the class of all admissible laws on the sample path space, this property is shown for a large class of strongly mixing laws for three different metrics $d$. For real-valued observations, the UGC property is established for both the Kolomogorov $ϕ$-metric and the Lévy $ψ$-metric, and for observations in a general locally compact and second countable Hausdorff space the UGC property is established for a certain metric generating the $ψ$-weak topology. The key is a new uniform weak LLN for strongly mixing random variables. The latter is of independent interest and relies on Rio's maximal inequality.

description: This study focuses on the top 15 ranked accredited library and information schools in the United States, as ranked by U.S. News & World report. Content analysis of the websites of the top 15 information schools was conducted to measure the achievements of data science programs. The study gathers and codes data, such as course breakdown, program description, employed professors, offered specializations and certificates, and curriculum structure of each data-science-related program in information schools. The results may show that while many universities are incorporating data science into their curriculum by employing professors and adding courses, there is still significant room for improvement, particularly in the teaching of analytical skills and the specializations offered. A ranking of each information school according to their data science programs was completed and evaluated at the end of the research. The findings of the study might be beneficial to current and incoming information school faculties and students.

description: This study is a statistical analysis examining the relationship between Google Trend and Daily Trend of the number of new COVID-19 cases in the United States using single term versus selecting 5 terms per day and taking time-lag into account. Google Trend was used to measure the interest of users in search terms over time during the pandemic of COVID-19. To make up for the lack of open datasets of search queries, tweets filtered by “COVID-19” related hashtags were used to generate top-5 terms per day according to term frequency on a 7-day moving average. Spearman correlation analysis was applied to examine the correlations between the two trends and examine the impact of time-lag. The results showed high correlation between the two trends by selecting 5 terms per day. Besides, taking time-lag into account improved the correlation between the difference of search interest and the number of new COVID-19 cases. The results indicate that it is important to account for the fact that covid-related language may change over time and time-lag should be considered as an important factor when conducting trend analysis. This study demonstrates the possibility of using Google Trend to predict future case trend of COVID-19 in areas with a large population of Web search users.

description: Since the first ALMA memo (Owen et al. 1980), detecting the thermal Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect has been an important science driver for ALMA. However, detecting and characterizing the hot intracluster medium (ICM) via the SZ effect is only beginning in earnest with the introduction of Band 1. With 13 times the collecting area and a larger field of view while sampling similar spatial scales as the ACA in Band 3, we can start to resolve the ICM in the most distant clusters of galaxies with only a fraction of the integration time.
The formation and evolution of the ICM across cosmic time are thought to be driven by the continuous accretion of matter from the large-scale filamentary surroundings and dramatic merger events with other clusters or groups. However, which mechanism is the dominant one is unknown. In this poster, I will show a detailed analysis of the ICM of the most distant galaxy cluster found in current SZ-cluster catalogs, namely XLSSC 122. Through modeling ALMA+ACA Band 3 and ACT observations jointly, we tentatively detect an infalling group previously undetected in competitive X-ray observations. With more observations of the first galaxy clusters now coming through and as future single-dish telescopes start finding more and more high-z clusters, we can begin building a statistical sample of resolved observations to understand ICM heating, cluster growth, and evolution.

description: A one-dimensional confined Nonlinear Random Walk is a tuple of $N$ diffeomorphisms of the unit interval driven by a probabilistic Markov chain. For generic such walks, we obtain a geometric characterization of their ergodic stationary measures and prove that all of them have negative Lyapunov exponents. These measures appear to be probabilistic manifestations of physical measures for certain deterministic dynamical systems. These systems are step skew products over transitive subshifts of finite type (topological Markov chains) with the unit interval fiber. For such skew products, we show there exist only finite collection of alternating attractors and repellers; we also give a sharp upper bound for their number. Each of them is a graph of a continuous map from the base to the fiber defined almost everywhere w.r.t. any ergodic Markov measure in the base. The orbits starting between the adjacent attractor and repeller tend to the attractor as $t \to +\infty$, and to the repeller as $t \to -\infty$. The attractors support ergodic hyperbolic physical measures.

description: E’ noto che, ben prima dell’esordio con le pubbliche proiezioni del 28 dicembre 1895 a
Parigi, il cinema aveva già mosso i suoi primi passi. A dispetto di una storia che l’ha
consacrato ai più come mezzo di intrattenimento, quei primi passi erano all’insegna
del supporto alla ricerca scientifica. Il capitolo più conosciuto di questa pre-storia è
forse quello degli studi sulla dinamica delle zampe di un cavallo in corsa che ha fatto la
fortuna del fotografo Eadweard J. Muybridge e ha persino guadagnato una copertina
di Scientific American nell’ottobre 1878. Ma dall’astronomia alla fisiologia, dalla
medicina alla matematica gli esempi non si contano. In botanica, a cavallo tra ‘800 e
‘900, Wilhelm Pfeffer in Germania applicò per la prima volta la ripresa intervallata allo
studio delle piante: è così che movimenti difficilmente percepibili dall’occhio umano
potevano essere osservati e, soprattutto, registrati. In pochi istanti si rivelava all’occhio
dello studioso la storia – lunga giorni, mesi, anni – della crescita di una pianta.

description: Algorithms affect decision-making through many domains in our world today. From communication between people to measuring financial risk, industrial manufacturing to proctoring tools for remote learning, algorithms drive decision-making in many disciplines, even those outside of computing and technology. Ultimately, algorithms affect how people interact with each other and the world. This widespread push for automation of everyday activities relies on computing and technology professionals, who depend on their foundational knowledge of algorithms to create solutions to the human condition. Therefore, it is fundamental that students who are building this foundational knowledge of developing and manipulating algorithms through their coursework are aware of the benefits, implications, and consequences of this decision-making. Although there are several ways that this ethics-focused thinking can be taught in a classroom, there is no standardized curriculum for ethics coursework. This research project reports findings from a study of the design, implementation, and evaluation of the use of role play scenarios (RPS) for teaching student's ethical decision-making in algorithm-rich work environments. This presentation's primary outcome is to discuss how to implement role plays through an active learning environment to discuss ethics-related topics in computing and technology courses. The discussion is based on feedback from participants of past role plays can be applied to using role play activities in other disciplines Participants will be able to engage in discussion with the authors about implementing role play scenarios in their own classes. This presentation's primary outcome is to discuss how to implement role plays through an active learning environment to discuss ethics-related topics in computing and technology courses.

description: Background: Health facility-level factors play a crucial role in women's access to and use of caesarean section (CS) services, but lacks relevant evidence. The study aimed to understand the effects of health facility-level factors on CS delivery in Bangladesh. Methods: The 2017–18 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey (2017–18 BDHS) and the 2017 Bangladesh Health Facility Survey (2017 BHFS) were linked and analysed in this study. The sample comprised of 4954 women gave at least one live birth within three years preceding the survey. The outcome variable was delivery through CS (yes, no) and the explanatory variables were health facility-level, individual-level, household-level, and community-level factors. Moran's I and Getis-Ord General G statistic were used to identify the hotspots of delivery through CS. Mixed-effect multilevel logistic regression was used to examine the association of the outcome variable with explanatory variables. Findings: Around 33% of women in Bangladesh underwent CS in their most recent pregnancies. The hotspots of delivery through CS are located primarily in Rajshahi, Dhaka, and Khulna divisions. The likelihood of delivered through CS increased with the rising scores of the management (Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR), 1.83; 95% CI 1.04–2.07) and infrastructure (AOR, 3.14; 95% CI 1.40–5.12) of the nearest health facility. The readiness of health facilities to provide comprehensive obstetric care was significantly associated with an increased likelihood of delivery through CS (AOR, 2.18; 95% CI 1.15–3.28). These relationships were strong for private than non-government and government health facilities. Interpretation: The proximity of comprehensive obstetric care facilities to women's residences and their readiness to provide services play critical roles in the access to and use of CS in Bangladesh. The findings highlight the importance of necessary healthcare personnel, including midwives, availability of government hospitals where undue CS are avoided, and awareness-building programmes about the adverse effects of CS delivery.
Modelling electrical transport in nano-particle composites using 3D network analysis

description: Conductive composites consist of a conductive filler dispersed within an insulating matrix. These composite materials have been known for many years and are regularly produced experimentally and commercially for a variety of applications. Novel techniques are now being found for creating composites that exhibit conductivity with less conductive filler material than classical physics suggests is sufficient if the particles are uniformly distributed. Several parties have offered physical explanations for the characteristics of their composites by incorporating a blend of classical and quantum physics but few attempts have been made to compare explanations or develop any mechanism to simulate the physics. The model presented in the present work incorporates first principles physics and semi-empirical theory to account for the distribution of particles within a composite and calculate resultant conductivity using three dimensional network analysis. Results from several model iterations are presented and they are compared with published experimental results. The model demonstrates that a random distribution of spherical particles smaller than 200 nm at 3% loading, given realistic wave function decay rates and reasonable tunnelling barrier heights, cannot explain experimentally observed conductivities in these composite materials. The final model, using a Voronoi tessellation approach, duplicates the behaviour trend of the composites being simulated and illustrates some gaps in the present material science knowledge of conductive composites.
