Statistical Methodology and Theory for Functional and Topological Data
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: Zürich : EMS Publ. House
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Konferenzschrift
subject: 510

description: The workshop focuses on the statistical analysis of complex data which cannot be represented as realizations of finite-dimensional random vectors. An example of such data are functional data. They arise in a variety of climate, biological, medical, physical and engineering problems, where the observations can be represented by curves and surfaces. Fast advances in technology continuously produce a deluge of bigger data with even more complex structures such as arteries in the brain, bones of a human body or social networks. This has sparked enormous interest in more general statistical problems where the random observations are elements of abstract topological spaces. The workshop will stimulate development of new statistical methods for these types of data and will be an ideal platform for discussing their theoretical properties (e.g. asymptotic optimality), computational performance, and new exciting applications in areas such as machine learning, image analysis, biometrics and econometrics.

description: Self-assembling peptide-based biomaterials are promising for use in biomedical applications due to their inherent extracellular matrix-like structure, comparable nanofiber dimensions and responsiveness to cells and proteins. Among them, short peptides and their derivatives have been studied because of their ease of synthesis and bottom-up design for controlling fibrillar supra-structure. In this dissertation, nucleo-tripeptides which can self-assemble into a hydrogel form were designed based on considerations of their gelation conditions and applications to functional cell scaffolds and controlled drug release. From the result of Fmoc modified short depsipeptides study, showing functional potential but cytotoxicity upon degradation, nucleobases were evaluated as a replacement for the Fmoc group. A small library, composed of 16 nucleo-tripeptides, was constructed in order to control the self-assembly conditions and to identify a molecule which can form a hydrogel under physiologic conditions. The resulting supra-structures were analyzed experimentally and computationally. We found that nucleo-tripeptides can self-assemble into nano-fibers which then lead to hydrogel formation under physiologic pH. Self-assembled nano-fibers have DNA-like structures, exhibiting nucleobase stacking and Watson-Crick-like interactions. By using these DNA-like structures as well as the self-healing capability of the nucleo-tripeptide hydrogel, applications as functional cell scaffolds and controlled drug release were studied. The self-assembled nucleo-tripeptide hydrogel can be functionalized via mixing with a second molecule having a complementary nucleobase via Watson-Crick interactions. A molecule possessing arginine-glycine-aspartic acid (RGD), interacting with integrin located on the surface of cells, and a nucleobase was incorporated into the self-assembled nucleo-tripeptide hydrogel. This incorporation resulted in improved viability and cell attachment during 3D culture of fibroblasts. Nucleobase stacking structures were applied to the sequestration and controlled release of the doxorubicin, a cancer drug which exerts its action by intercalated DNA. The self-assembled nucleo-tripeptide hydrogel was able to load doxorubicin effectively through its DNA-like interactions, and in vitro and in vivo studies showed that controlled release of doxorubicin can inhibit tumor growth over a long-term period.

Mathematical Theory of Water Waves

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Konferenzschrift
subject: 510

description: Water waves, that is waves on the surface of a fluid (or the interface between different fluids) are omnipresent phenomena. However, as Feynman wrote in his lecture, water waves that are easily seen by everyone, and which are usually used as an example of waves in elementary courses, are the worst possible example; they have all the complications that waves can have. These complications make mathematical investigations particularly challenging and the physics particularly rich. Indeed, expertise gained in modelling, mathematical analysis and numerical simulation of water waves can be expected to lead to progress in issues of high societal impact (renewable energies in marine environments, vorticity generation and wave breaking, macro-vortices and coastal erosion, ocean shipping and near-shore navigation, tsunamis and hurricane-generated waves, floating airports, ice-sea interactions, ferrofluids in high-technology applications, ...). The workshop was mostly devoted to rigorous mathematical theory for the exact hydrodynamic equations; numerical simulations, modelling and experimental issues were included insofar as they had an evident synergy effect.
Mathematical Foundations of Isogeometric Analysis
Creators: name: (:Unkn) Unknown
Publisher: name: Zürich : EMS Publ. House
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Konferenzschrift
subject: 510

description: Isogeometric analysis is a recent technology for numerical simulation, unifying computer aided design and finite element analysis. It offers a true design-through-analysis pipeline by employing the same representation models for both creating geometries and approximating the solution of partial differential equations defined on those geometries. This combined concept leads to improved convergence and smoothness properties of the solutions and dramatically faster overall simulations. Even though substantial progress has been made in the isogeometric context over the last few years, there are several profound theoretical issues that are not yet well understood and that are currently investigated by researchers in numerical analysis, approximation theory, and applied geometry. The workshop reported the substantial progress, both from the theoretical and applicative point of view, which has been made in the isogeometric context over the last three years. It offered a meeting point for leading scientists from isogeometric analysis and the mentioned mathematically relevant fields, and provided a rich and open ground of discussion within a diversified audience, profiting of different backgrounds and various perspectives.
Computational Multiscale Methods

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Konferenzschrift
subject: 510

description: Many physical processes in material sciences or geophysics are characterized by inherently complex interactions across a large range of non-separable scales in space and time. The resolution of all features on all scales in a computer simulation easily exceeds today's computing resources by multiple orders of magnitude. The observation and prediction of physical phenomena from multiscale models, hence, requires insightful numerical multiscale techniques to adaptively select relevant scales and effectively represent unresolved scales. This workshop enhanced the development of such methods and the mathematics behind them so that the reliable and efficient numerical simulation of some challenging multiscale problems eventually becomes feasible in high performance computing environments.

description: In order for robots to autonomously navigate and operate in diverse environments, it is essential for them to recognize the state of their environment. On the other hand, the environmental state recognition has traditionally involved distinct methods tailored to each state to be recognized. In this study, we perform a unified environmental state recognition for robots through the spoken language with pre-trained large-scale vision-language models. We apply Visual Question Answering and Image-to-Text Retrieval, which are tasks of Vision-Language Models. We show that with our method, it is possible to recognize not only whether a room door is open/closed, but also whether a transparent door is open/closed and whether water is running in a sink, without training neural networks or manual programming. In addition, the recognition accuracy can be improved by selecting appropriate texts from the set of prepared texts based on black-box optimization. For each state recognition, only the text set and its weighting need to be changed, eliminating the need to prepare multiple different models and programs, and facilitating the management of source code and computer resource. We experimentally demonstrate the effectiveness of our method and apply it to the recognition behavior on a mobile robot, Fetch.

description: In multiscale modeling hierarchy, kinetic theory plays a vital role in connecting microscopic Newtonian mechanics and macroscopic continuum mechanics. As computing power grows, numerical simulation of kinetic equations has become possible and undergone rapid development over the past decade. Yet the unique challenges arising in these equations, such as highdimensionality, multiple scales, random inputs, positivity, entropy dissipation, etc., call for new advances of numerical methods. This mini-workshop brought together both senior and junior researchers working on various fastpaced growing numerical aspects of kinetic equations. The topics include, but were not limited to, uncertainty quantification, structure-preserving methods, phase transitions, asymptotic-preserving schemes, and fast methods for kinetic equations.

description: Gaia Data Release 3 (DR3) has provided the largest and most astrometrically precise catalogue of nearby stars to date, allowing for a more complete membership census of nearby, young stellar moving groups. These loose associations of young (age $<$100 Myr) stars within $\sim$100 pc are vital laboratories for the study of the early evolution of low-mass stars and planetary systems. We have exploited DR3 data to examine the boundary region between two of the youngest nearby moving groups, the $\sim$3--8 Myr-old $ε$ Cha Association (ECA) and an $\sim$8 Myr-old sub-population of the sprawling Lower Centaurus Crux (LCC) young star complex. Using spatio-kinematic and color-magnitude criteria designed to select stars in the ECA, we identify $\sim$54 new young-star candidates that extend from the ECA core to the southern edge of the LCC. Included among our new candidates are six previously unidentified ultra-low-mass, mid- to late-M stars, lying near the future hydrogen-burning limit, that display significant infrared excesses. Our spatial, kinematic, and CMD analysis of these new candidates and previously established LCC and ECA members blurs the boundary between these groups and provides evidence for a wave of continuous star formation extending from north (LCC) to south (ECA). We discuss the factors which studies of nearby young moving groups must consider when constraining the ages of stars in these groups.

Type I seesaw mechanism for quasi degenerate neutrinos

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We discuss symmetries and scenarios leading to quasi-degenerate neutrinos in type-I seesaw models. The existence of degeneracy in the present approach is not linked to any specific structure for the Dirac neutrino Yukawa coupling matrix $y_D$ and holds in general. Basic input is the application of the minimal flavour violation principle to the leptonic sector. Generalizing this principle, we assume that the structure of the right handed neutrino mass matrix is determined by $y_D$ and the charged lepton Yukawa coupling matrix $y_l$ in an effective theory invariant under specific groups ${\cal G}_F$ contained in the full symmetry group of the kinetic energy terms. ${\cal G}_F$ invariance also leads to specific structure for the departure from degeneracy. The neutrino mass matrix (with degenerate mass $m_0$) resulting after seesaw mechanism has a simple form ${\cal M}_ν\approx m_0(I-p y_ly_l^T)$ in one particular scenario based on supersymmetry. This form is shown to lead to correct description of neutrino masses and mixing angles. The thermal leptogenesis after inclusion of flavour effects can account for the observed baryon asymmetry of the universe within the present scenario. Rates for lepton flavour violating processes can occur at observable levels in the supersymmetric version of the scenario.

On the origin of the gravitational constant G and the influence of universal matter distribution on local gravitational dynamics
Creators: name: Santander, Juan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: This paper proposes a model for the origin of the gravitational constant G and the influence of universal matter distribution on local gravitational dynamics. In Section I, I argue that it is plausible that the century-old relation of is in fact a precise relation. From this relation and the observed Hubble constant H0, I derive a model for the universe with estimates for the radius Ru, mass Mu and density ρu of the observable universe. Using these estimates, I propose a relativistic equation to calculate the cosmological redshift using gravitational potentials. Based on this model, I propose in Section II a possible origin of the galaxy rotational velocity discrepancy and the specific value of the Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) constant a0. I derive an equation to predict the modified acceleration of typical galaxies, galaxy clusters, and dwarf galaxies which relies solely on the local baryonic mass distribution and the distribution of mass within the observable universe. Finally, in Section III, I present an interesting finding which emerges from applying my equation for galaxies to a system of a proton and an electron on the 1s orbital. I find that I can use the function of my model to precisely calculate the value of the fine structure constant to a high degree of precision.

description: The rapid evolution of egocentric video analysis brings new insights into understanding human activities and intentions from a first-person perspective. Despite this progress, the fragmentation in tasks like action recognition, procedure learning, and moment retrieval, \etc, coupled with inconsistent annotations and isolated model development, hinders a holistic interpretation of video content. In response, we introduce the EAGLE (Egocentric AGgregated Language-video Engine) model and the EAGLE-400K dataset to provide a unified framework that integrates various egocentric video understanding tasks. EAGLE-400K, the \textit{first} large-scale instruction-tuning dataset tailored for egocentric video, features 400K diverse samples to enhance a broad spectrum of tasks from activity recognition to procedure knowledge learning. Moreover, EAGLE, a strong video multimodal large language model (MLLM), is designed to effectively capture both spatial and temporal information. In addition, we propose a set of evaluation metrics designed to facilitate a thorough assessment of MLLM for egocentric video understanding. Our extensive experiments demonstrate EAGLE's superior performance over existing models, highlighting its ability to balance task-specific understanding with holistic video interpretation. With EAGLE, we aim to pave the way for research opportunities and practical applications in real-world scenarios.

description: This study investigated the retention of provitamin A carotenoids and tocochromanols in mahewu, a traditional fermented beverage made from maize meal or sorghum flour. Biofortified maize enriched with provitamin A (PVA) was used to assess the potential nutritional benefits of consuming the fermented drink. The findings showed that starch and protein were the major nutrients in both mahewu and whole PVA maize samples, while fat content was lower in mahewu compared to raw grain. The study found a retention of approximately 56.50% of β-carotene equivalent and 55.43% of β-cryptoxanthin in PVA-biofortified mahewu compared to whole grain. The concentration of γ-tocopherol was higher than α-tocopherol and α-tocotrienol in both kernels and mahewu. Consuming PVA-biofortified mahewu can provide between 12.21% to 20.51% of the estimated average requirement (EAR) of PVA carotenoids per day, making it a potential source of PVA for various population groups. Additionally, PVA-biofortified mahewu exhibited higher total antioxidant activity (TAA) compared to PVA-biofortified maize, indicating a 19.69% increase in antioxidant activity. The results suggest that PVA-biofortified mahewu has the potential to be considered a functional food in Southern African countries and other regions where PVA-biofortified maize is cultivated.

description: We consider a massless, minimally coupled scalar field propagating through the geometry of a black 3-brane in an asymptotically $AdS_5 \times S^5$ space. The wave equation for modes traveling purely in the holographic direction reduces to a Heun equation and the corresponding greybody factor is obtained numerically. Approximations valid in the low- and high-frequency regimes are also obtained analytically. The greybody factor is then used to determine the rate of evaporation of these large black holes in the context of the evaporon model proposed in \cite{Rocha:2008fe}. This setting represents the evolution of a black hole under Hawking evaporation with a known CFT dual description and is therefore unitary. Information must then be preserved under this evaporation process.

description: This thesis explores the Indigenous paradigm of relationality to develop new urban planning and design methodologies for underground water management. Since colonisation, urban planning and design interventions in Melbourne have significantly altered coastal landscape conditions and displaced water in the urban environment. Despite water being largely engineered underground, water memory keeps resurfacing in the form of intense flooding, compelling us to reconsider our human and more-than-human relations. The research analyses drained, displaced, and piped waterways and tests how relational methods can contribute to a more careful, respectful, and effective approach to the design and management of water.

description: In recent years, electrical spin injection and detection has grown into a lively area of research in the field of spintronics. Spin injection into a paramagnetic material is usually achieved by means of a ferromagnetic source, whereas the induced spin accumulation or associated spin currents are detected by means of a second ferromagnet or the reciprocal spin Hall effect, respectively. This article reviews the current status of this subject, describing both recent progress and well-established results. The emphasis is on experimental techniques and accomplishments that brought about important advances in spin phenomena and possible technological applications. These advances include, amongst others, the characterization of spin diffusion and precession in a variety of materials, such as metals, semiconductors and graphene, the determination of the spin polarization of tunneling electrons as a function of the bias voltage, and the implementation of magnetization reversal in nanoscale ferromagnetic particles with pure spin currents.

description: We investigate the dynamical properties of the transcriptional regulation of gene expression in the yeast Saccharomyces Cerevisiae within the framework of a synchronously and deterministically updated Boolean network model. By means of a dynamically determinant subnetwork, we explore the robustness of transcriptional regulation as a function of the type of Boolean functions used in the model that mimic the influence of regulating agents on the transcription level of a gene. We compare the results obtained for the actual yeast network with those from two different model networks, one with similar in-degree distribution as the yeast and random otherwise, and another due to Balcan et al., where the global topology of the yeast network is reproduced faithfully. We, surprisingly, find that the first set of model networks better reproduce the results found with the actual yeast network, even though the Balcan et al. model networks are structurally more similar to that of yeast.

description: Based on an NMR-guided method, one new monoterpenoid glycoside (1) was isolated from Anhua dark tea, together with five known compounds (2–6). The structure of the new compound was determined as 3-(5,5-dimethyltetrahydrofuranyl)-1-buten-3-ol primeveroside, and trivially named anhuaterpenoside A (1), on the basis of detailed spectroscopic analyses, and acidic hydrolysis. Compound 1 exhibits cytotoxic activity against MDA-MB-231 and SH-SY5Y cell lines with IC50 value of 23.26 μM and 18.57 μM, respectively.
Coulomb integrals and conformal blocks in the AdS3-WZNW model

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: We study spectral flow preserving four-point correlation functions in the AdS3-WZNW model using the Coulomb gas method on the sphere. We present a multiple integral realization of the conformal blocks and explicitly compute amplitudes involving operators with quantized values of the sum of their spins, i.e., requiring an integer number of screening charges of the first kind. The result is given as a sum over the independent configurations of screening contours yielding a monodromy invariant expansion in powers of the worldsheet moduli. We then examine the factorization limit and show that the leading terms in the sum can be identified, in the semiclassical limit, with products of spectral flow conserving three-point functions. These terms can be rewritten as the m-basis version of the integral expression obtained by J. Teschner from a postulate for the operator product expansion of normalizable states in the H3+-WZNW model. Finally, we determine the equivalence between the factorizations of a particular set of four-point functions into products of two three-point functions either preserving or violating spectral flow number conservation. Based on this analysis we argue that the expression for the amplitude as an integral over the spin of the intermediate operators holds beyond the semiclassical regime, thus corroborating that spectral flow conserving correlators in the AdS3-WZNW model are related by analytic continuation to correlation functions in the H3+-WZNW model.

title: Writing instructional practices in Grades 3-7 inclusive classrooms
Creators: name: Wanless, Jennifer
Publisher: name: Electronic version published by Vancouver Island University

Subjects: subject: Penmanship
subject: Inclusive education

description: Writing is a complex task for typical students and therefore even more challenging for students with dysgraphia. Today’s classrooms are filled with students with diverse needs that require educators to tailor instruction. The purpose of this descriptive research study is to explore how educators currently teach writing to all students in grades 3-7, and how they support the writing growth of their struggling learners. The questions guiding this research are: (1) How do teachers, working with grade 3-7 students in inclusive classrooms, plan effective writing instruction? (2) What strategies do they find effective for writing instruction? and, (3) How are teachers supporting students who find writing challenging and those with specific learning disabilities in written expression (dysgraphia)?” Both quantitative and qualitative data was collected from classroom teachers and learning support teachers in one urban Vancouver Island school district through an online survey and in-person interviews. Through mixed methods analysis the findings revealed that educators are constructing unique writing programs that incorporate a variety of resources, instructional strategies, adaptations and technology. Although this study found that some extra support for struggling writers is taking place in schools, it is not enough to help these students make the growth they need. These findings also identify a number of areas for improvement with instruction, professional development and future research.
Mini-Workshop: Degeneration Techniques in Representation Theory

Subjects: subject: Konferenzschrift
subject: 510

description: Modern Representation Theory has numerous applications in many mathematical areas such as algebraic geometry, combinatorics, convex geometry, mathematical physics, probability. Many of the object and problems of interest show up in a family. Degeneration techniques allow to study the properties of the whole family instead of concentrating on a single member. This idea has many incarnations in modern mathematics, including Newton-Okounkov bodies, tropical geometry, PBW degenerations, Hessenberg varieties. During the mini-workshop Degeneration Techniques in Representation Theory various sides of the existing applications of the degenerations techniques were discussed and several new possible directions were reported.
