title: The ‘Arab’ Spring between Transformation and Capture: The Tunisian Case
Creators: name: Pârvan, Oana
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2021

description: This research goes beyond the debate over the ‘success’ or ‘failure’ of the 2011 Arab Spring, seeking instead to develop a critical framing of one particular episode of those mobilisations, namely of the Tunisian revolution, by taking into account the often-overlooked instances of local struggles, migration and Islamic militancy in the region, in order to reveal the specificity of contemporary political action.

The Tunisian revolution raises important questions regarding the articulation of resistance and political subjectivity in the context of global governmentality. By drawing from political theory, philosophy, ethnography and readings of local street art, I attempt to restore the radical significance of the event as an instance of possible collective action by engaging with the concept of ‘political event’ (here drawing critically from Gilles Deleuze, Félix Guattari and Alain Badiou) as both rupture and creation of the new. 

I reflect on different technologies of containment of dissent, aimed at reducing the virtual dimension of collective action. This containment can regard the discursive level and be enacted through hegemonic narratives or it can regard the non-discursive level of affects and be enacted by intensifying and/or speculating on accumulated affects (such as discontent). Yet, alongside these technologies, I theorize the existence of circuits of mediation concerned with the movement of tactical counter-knowledges and practices of resistance across wide (spaces such as the Mediterranean Sea after 2011, for example).

I integrate theories around contagion and virality of protest with the concept of resonance (Clover, 2016) based on the commonality of dispossession and the ‘structural similarities’ (Manji and Sokari, 2012) of mobile categories of people produced as surplus population (Clover, 2016). Furthermore, I mobilise Edouard Glissant’s notion of Relation (Glissant, 1997), to engage with the Tunisian example of cross-class alliances, while showing their centrality for the revolutionary transformation.

description: Black hole entropy has been shown by 't Hooft to diverge at the horizon, whereas entanglement entropy in general does not. We show that because the region near the horizon is a thermal state, entropy is linear to energy, and energy at a barrier is inversely proportional to barrier slope, and diverges at an infinitely sharp barrier as a result of position/momentum uncertainty. We show that 't Hooft's divergence at the black hole is also an example of momentum/position uncertainty, as seen by the fact that the "brick wall" which corrects it in fact smooths the sharp boundary into a more gradual slope. This removes a major obstacle to identification of black hole entropy with entanglement entropy.

description: We study $μ- e$ conversion with sequential four generations. A large mass for the fourth generation neutrino can enhance the conversion rate by orders of magnitude. We compare constraints obtained from $μ- e$ conversion using experimental bounds on various nuclei with those from $μ\to e γ$ and $μ\to e\bar e e$. We find that the current bound from $μ- e$ conversion with Au puts the most stringent constraint in this model. The relevant flavor changing parameter $λ_{μe} = V^*_{μ4}V_{e4}^{}$ is constrained to be less than $1.6\times 10^{-5}$ for the fourth generation neutrino mass larger than 100 GeV. Implications for future $μ-e$ conversion, $μ\to eγ$ and $μ\to e\bar e e$ experiments are discussed.

description: Der Beitrag beschäftigt sich mit Ungleichheiten in der Organisation des pandemiebedingten Homeoffice. Für eine ungleichheitssensible soziologische Digitalisierungsforschung stellt das pandemiebedingte Homeoffice ein großflächiges natürliches Experiment dar: Innerhalb kürzester Zeit wurde im Frühjahr 2020 die Arbeit von Millionen von Beschäftigten zum Gegenstand einer weitreichenden kommunikations- und informationstechnischen Durchdringung. Anhand einer Clusteranalyse werden sechs Organisationsvarianten des pandemiebedingten Homeoffice identifiziert, die sich in der Beschaffenheit des Heimarbeitsplatzes, der Steuerung der Arbeit und der Einbindung in die betrieblichen Abläufe unterscheiden. Die Varianten – die Bandbreite reicht vom humanzentrierten Homeoffice bis zum intensivierenden mobilen Arbeiten – differieren jedoch nicht nur in den Organisationsmerkmalen, auch die Folgen der digitalen Durchdringung weisen erhebliche Ungleichheiten auf. Empirisch basiert der Beitrag auf einem Mixed-Methods-Design, das qualitative Interviews (n=35) mit Beschäftigtenbefragungen (n=4.999) verbindet. This paper focuses on inequalities in the organization of the pandemic home office. For an inequality-sensitive sociological digitalization research, the pandemic-related home office represents a large-scale natural experiment: Within a very short period of time, in the spring of 2020, the work of millions of employees was penetrated with communication and information technology. Using a cluster analysis, six organizational variants of the pandemic home office are identified, which differ in the design of the workplace at home. The governance of work and the interface to the work processes in the organization. The variants – ranging from humancentered home office to intensifying mobile working – do, however, not only differ in organizational characteristics, but in the implications of the digital transformation for employees as well. Empirically, the paper is based on a mixed-methods design that combines qualitative interviews (n=35) with employee surveys (n=4,999).
Imaging Novel States in Unconventional Superconductors

description: Recent advances in the development of Josephson scanning tunneling spectroscopy (JSTS) have opened a path to explore unconventional superconductivity. Since experimental efforts have demonstrated the capability to perform atomically resolved measurements of the Josephson critical current, we theoretically show that this critical current is able to image the spatial superconducting order parameter (SCOP) across a wide range of conventional and unconventional superconductors. Because the SCOP is often a fingerprint of superconducting states and phases, including the triplet superconductivity associated with topological Majorana modes, its characterization with JSTS offers a unique way to identify novel superconducting phenomena that might otherwise be inaccessible. In the case of topological superconductivity, experimental identification of non-triviality is problematic because its spectroscopic evidence can be mixed with trivial in-gap states. As I demonstrate, however, an equilibrium transport measurement offers a qualitatively distinct route to identify topological currents.

BIRC6 as novel therapeutic target in advanced prostate cancer : clinical relevance, development of potential therapeutic agents & preclinical drug efficacy
Creators: name: Luk, Sze Ue
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: The lack of effective therapy for advanced prostate cancer (PCa) remains a major unmet clinical need. Recently approved therapeutics, such as enzalutamide (ENZ), have only delayed the inevitable progression of castration-resistant PCa (CRPC), as resistance will typically emerge following treatment. Although increased apoptosis-resisting ability of cancer cells represents a fundamental mechanism for the onset of treatment resistance, no relevant agents have yet been developed. Preliminary work in our laboratory has revealed an association between elevated expression of BIRC6, an Inhibitor of Apoptosis (IAP) protein, and advanced PCa. The overall objective of this doctoral study is to investigate the roles of BIRC6 in advanced PCa, and to assess the therapeutic efficacy of a novel anti-BIRC6 agent. Firstly, I evaluated the clinical relevance of BIRC6 using patients’ PCa specimens, and the functional importance of BIRC6 using cell line-based PCa models. A significant correlation was found between elevated BIRC6 protein expression in clinical PCa and poor patient prognostic factors. Functional assays validated the importance of BIRC6 in PCa cell proliferation and apoptosis suppression. Next, I designed BIRC6-based, dual IAP-targeting antisense oligonucleotides (dASOs) to inhibit BIRC6 and an additional IAP. Two dASOs, 6w2 and 6w5 targeting BIRC6+cIAP1 and BIRC6+survivin, showed substantial inhibition of CRPC cell proliferation in vitro and in vivo. Functional studies showed that both dASOs significantly induced apoptosis, cell cycle arrest and suppression of NFκB activation in CRPC cells. Finally, I assessed the growth-inhibitory efficacy of dASO-6w2 in ENZ-resistant CRPC, which has become an increasingly prominent problem in the clinic. The efficacy of dASO-6w2 was studied using both ENZ-resistant PCa cell lines and a clinically relevant, transplantable patient-derived xenograft PCa tissue model, designated LTL-313BR, which exhibits primary ENZ resistance. Importantly, I showed that treatment with dASO-6w2 markedly suppressed the growth of LTL-313BR xenografts. The dASO-6w2 was also found to increase tumour apoptosis and inhibit the expression of several pro-survival genes that were up-regulated in the LTL-313BR line. In conclusion, this doctoral study has established the clinical relevance and functional importance of BIRC6 in advanced PCa, and has also presented new BIRC6-targeting agents that markedly suppress the growth of advanced PCa.

description: We analyze the static potential of a quark-antiquark pair at $T\,\geq\,T_c$, where $T_c$ is a temperature of a deconfinement phase transition in QCD. We discuss the possibility that the non-perturbative part of this potential can be studied through the modification of the correlation functions, which define the quadratic field correlators of the nonperturbative vaccuum fields. We use the non-perturbative quark-antiquark potential derived in this way and the screened one-gluon-exchange potential with $T$-dependent Debye screening mass to calculate $J/ψ$, $Υ$ and $Ω_{bbb}$ binding energies and melting temperatures in the deconfined phase of the full 2-flavors QCD.

Comparison of Two Respirator User Training Methods: Video and One-On-One Training

description: Lung disease is one of the leading causes of occupation-related illness (Blanc et al., 2019; Sirajuddin & Kanne, 2009). To protect themselves, millions of workers rely on respiratory devices (Syamlal et al., 2006; Wizner et al., 2016). However, for these devices to be protective, workers must be trained to consistently don and doff a mask correctly. Currently, there are only a few documented training strategies employed and their effectiveness for respiratory protection has largely been unchallenged. Therefore, this study aims to compare the efficacy of two popular training strategies: one-on-one training and video training. Twenty subjects were recruited for this study and stratified into two groups based on the type of training they received. One group received training by a pre-recorded video, and the second group received one-on-one training by the lead investigator. All participants underwent unassisted quantitative fit tests before and after training, to assess their ability to achieve respiratory protection. Those that were trained by video had statistically insignificant improvements in fit test results after training (P = 0.07). In contrast, those trained in person by a professional were able to significantly improve their pass rates post-training (P = 0.01). These findings are consistent with the literature, suggesting that in-person strategies can better serve to enhance the learning experience.
A Supersymmetric One Higgs Doublet Model

description: We present a supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model in which only one electroweak doublet acquires a vacuum expectation value and gives mass to Standard Model fermions. As well as the novel accommodation of a Standard Model Higgs within a supersymmetric framework, this leads to a very predictive model, with some advantages over the MSSM. In particular, problems with proton decay, flavour changing neutral currents and large CP violation are ameliorated, primarily due to the presence of an anomaly-free R-symmetry. Since supersymmetry must be broken at a low scale, gravity-mediated effects which break the R-symmetry are naturally small. The R-symmetry requires the presence of adjoint chiral superfields, to give Dirac masses to the gauginos; these adjoints are the only non-MSSM fields in the visible sector. The LSP is a very light neutralino, which is mostly bino. Such a light neutralino is not in conflict with experiment, and is a striking prediction of the minimal model. Additional scenarios to raise the mass of this neutralino to the weak scale are also outlined. Prospects for discovery at the LHC are briefly discussed, along with viable scenarios for achieving gauge-coupling unification.

description: Using the heavy quark effective theory framework put forward by Grinstein and Pirjol we work out predictions for B -> K* l+ l-, l = (e, mu), decays for a softly recoiling K*, i.e., for large dilepton masses sqrt{q^2} of the order of the b-quark mass m_b. We work to lowest order in Lambda/Q, where Q = (m_b, sqrt{q^2}) and include the next-to-leading order corrections from the charm quark mass m_c and the strong coupling at O(m_c^2/Q^2, alpha_s). The leading Lambda/m_b corrections are parametrically suppressed. The improved Isgur-Wise form factor relations correlate the B -> K* l+ l- transversity amplitudes, which simplifies the description of the various decay observables and provides opportunities for the extraction of the electroweak short distance couplings. We propose new angular observables which have very small hadronic uncertainties. We exploit existing data on B -> K* l+ l- distributions and show that the low recoil region provides powerful additional information to the large recoil one. We find disjoint best-fit solutions, which include the Standard Model, but also beyond-the-Standard Model ones. This ambiguity can be accessed with future precision measurements.

Effects of labor regulation on informal labor markets
Creators: name: Becerra-Camargo, Oscar
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: This thesis examines the effects of labor regulation on formal (regulated) labor markets in Latin America. It is divided in three chapters, in which I analyze the effects of pension programs on formal-sector labor supply and the effects of payroll taxes on formal-sector labor demand. The first two chapters analyze how future pension benefits affect formal-sector labor supply. Since formal-sector jobs comply with labor regulation, including contributions to pension plans, formal-sector workers receive long-run benefits in the form of pensions. If workers account for such benefits when they search for formal-sector jobs, the pension system affects formal-sector labor supply before the retirement age. In Chapter 1, I estimate the causal link between future pension benefits and formal-sector labor supply by using a cohort-based reform undertaken in Colombia. I demonstrate that workers with higher pension gains are more willing to work in formal-sector jobs, rather than working in unregulated businesses or by themselves. The result is consistent with a life-cycle model of formal-sector labor supply presented in Chapter 2, where pension benefits are an amenity of working in the formal sector. The results suggest that pension reforms may have large effects on the labor market that should be taken into account in the design of pension programs. Chapter 3 analyzes the effect of payroll taxes on formal-sector labor demand in the presence of wage rigidity. In particular, I study the impact of a reduction of payroll taxes on the creation of formal-sector jobs in Colombia, where about 40 percent of formal-sector workers earn the minimum wage. Using a reform that granted tax credits to firms hiring workers younger than 28 years of age, I obtain estimates of the effect of payroll taxes on formal-sector employment and wages. I show that payroll tax incidence is borne by formal-sector employers. The reduction in payroll taxes increased formal-sector employment and had no effects on wages. Using the estimation results, I recover an estimate of the elasticity of the formal-sector labor demand of -0.44. This result implies that a 10 percent increase in the minimum wage reduces formal-sector employment by 4.4 percent.

Lifelong Representation Learning for NLP Applications
Creators: name: Xu, Hu
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Representation learning lives at the heart of deep learning for natural language processing (NLP). Traditional representation learning (such as softmax-based classification, pre-trained word embeddings, and language models, graph representations) focuses on learning general or static representations with the hope to help any end task. As the world keeps evolving, emerging knowledge (such as new tasks, domains, entities or relations) typically come with a small amount of data with shifted distributions that challenge the existing representations to be effective. As a result, how to effectively learn representations for new knowledge becomes crucial. Lifelong learning is a machine learning paradigm that aims to build an AI agent that keeps learning from the evolving world, like humans' learning from the world. This dissertation focuses on improving representations on different types of new knowledge (classification, word-level, contextual-level, and knowledge graph) for a myriad of NLP end tasks, ranging from text classification, sentiment analysis, entity recognition, question answering to the more complex dialog system. With the help of lifelong representation learning, models' performance on tasks is greatly improved beyond existing general representation learning.

The algorithm, which allows us to generate a big class of the non-polynomial conservation laws of the generalized Riemann equation is presented. Due to this new series of conservation laws of the Hunter-Saxton equation is obtained.

description: We demonstrate that tunable attractive (bonding) and repulsive (anti-bonding) forces can arise in highly asymmetric structures coupled to external radiation, a consequence of the bonding/anti-bonding level repulsion of guided-wave resonances that was first predicted in symmetric systems. Our focus is a geometry consisting of a photonic-crystal (holey) membrane suspended above an unpatterned layered substrate, supporting planar waveguide modes that can couple via the periodic modulation of the holey membrane. Asymmetric geometries have a clear advantage in ease of fabrication and experimental characterization compared to symmetric double-membrane structures. We show that the asymmetry can also lead to unusual behavior in the force magnitudes of a bonding/antibonding pair as the membrane separation changes, including nonmonotonic dependences on the separation. We propose a computational method that obtains the entire force spectrum via a single time-domain simulation, by Fourier-transforming the response to a short pulse and thereby obtaining the frequency-dependent stress tensor. We point out that by operating with two, instead of a single frequency, these evanescent forces can be exploited to tune the spring constant of the membrane without changing its equilibrium separation.

Wear Behavior Of Polyethylene Against Titanium Nitride Coated Alloy Surfaces For Joint Replacement
Creators: name: Cinotti, Filippo
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The introduction of joint arthroplasty has revolutionized orthopedic surgery. For decades, clinicians and engineers have worked together to design and realized some durable and efficient implants able to reproduce the functional goal of biological structures while reducing the adverse reactions induced by their introduction inside the human body. However, despite the great reached results, not a single material has been identified as perfect when performing in-vivo and the production of wear debris is still considered one of the main drawbacks of this kind of implants. In order to outweigh these issues, modern researches have found in surface coatings the opportunity to functionally tune the external properties of the implant while maintaining the original mechanical properties of the substrate material. In particular, one material has revealed to be particularly promising due to its characteristics: Titanium Nitride. This work is entirely dedicated to the exploration of the properties of Titanium Nitride (TiN) as a coating material, with a particular focus on their dependency on the coating process and on the working conditions. The performances of this material have been tested and compared to the ones of the uncoated substrates and the obtained results have been critically analyzed paying the way for further interesting developments that are presented in the conclusive chapter of this document.
Advanced machine learning methods: semi-supervised learning, multi-category classification, and energy-based models
Creators: name: Zhang, Xinwei
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation explores diverse aspects of machine learning with a particular focus on semi-supervised learning, multi-category classification, and energy-based models. The work begins by extending the statistical equivalence between logistic regression and exponential tilt modeling, leading to the development of a novel semi-supervised logistic learning method. Enhanced prediction accuracy is achieved by leveraging both labeled and unlabeled data. Next, we delve into the construction of loss functions and the establishment of corresponding regret bounds for multi-category classification. Here, new general representations of losses are derived, leading to the discovery of new hinge-like convex losses and multi-class proper scoring rules. In the final part, we introduce diffusion data and propose to learn a joint energy-based model, through persistent training, which simultaneously achieves long-run stability, post-training image generation, and superior out-of-distribution detection. Overall, this dissertation provides valuable insights and advancements in the field of machine learning, revealing connections between different methods and contributing to the improvement of existing methods and theories.
Adjective Placement In Code-Switched Determiner Phrases

description: The present study examines the relative order of noun-adjective sequences within code-switched Determiner Phrases. Several hypotheses have been considered: is this a property defined by the determiner (Bartlett, 2013), the noun (Arnaus et al., 2012) or the adjective (Cantone & MacSwan, 2009)? Or on the contrary, if a carrier phrase is present, does it influence the N/A order (Balam & Parafita Couto, 2019; Parafita Couto et al, 2015; Parafita Couto et al 2017)? Several studies have reviewed this issue, however, none of them has taken into account an accurate division of Spanish adjectives in regards to its position in relation to the noun. I propose a new way of examining the problem by looking at the adjective placement in code-switched DPs by implementing this adjective division. I conducted a total of two experiments with two different language pairs. For the first one, a total of twenty-four Basque/Spanish bilinguals took part. In Basque, adjectives are rigidly postnominal, while in Spanish adjectives can be obligatorily prenominal, obligatorily postnominal or can appear both pre and postnominally. In this first study, my results align with the predictions made by the adjective hypothesis. A second experiment was carried out improving the methodological consideration of the previous experiment and with a new language pair so that results can be generalizable and not specific to one language pair. For this experiment, the language pair chosen was English and Spanish (English adjectives being prenominal). Results also align with the adjective hypothesis, although further research is required in order to determine the extent to which some factors can influence participants’ ratings. Thus, my results confirm Cantone and MacSwan (2009).

description: We consider topologically twisted N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory on a four-manifold of the form V = W \times R_+ or V = W \times I, where W is a Riemannian three-manifold. Different kinds of boundary conditions apply at infinity or at finite distance. We verify that each of these conditions defines a `middle-dimensional' subspace of the space of all bulk solutions. Taking the two boundaries of V into account should thus generically give a discrete set of solutions. We explicitly find the spherically symmetric solutions when W = S^3 endowed with the standard metric. For widely separated boundaries, these consist of a pair of solutions which coincide for a certain critical value of the boundary separation and disappear for even smaller separations.

description: The nature of learning mindfulness practice and the impact of a mindfulness curriculum on pharmacy student stress levels and quality of life was evaluated using a mixed-methods research methodology. Twenty-five participant students in the mindfulness curriculum were surveyed on their level of mindfulness, their perceived stress, and overall quality of life using the 5 Facet Mindfulness Questionnaire, the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and the SF-12 v2 Health Related Quality of Life scale, respectively. Eighteen consented to full inclusion in the study. A control group of 24 non-participants students were also surveyed on their stress levels and quality of life using the same questionnaires. Twenty of the controls completed the full study. Surveys were collected at baseline (prior to class intervention) and at 12 weeks (4 weeks post course conclusion) in both groups for comparison. Student participants were also asked to complete an online course evaluation at the conclusion of the course. Compared to the control group, students who participated in the mindfulness practice curriculum had significantly lower perceived stress and higher mental health-related quality of life. Participants highly rated the course overall, though one to two students did report lower achievement of course objectives. Based on participant evaluation free-text responses, concepts related to the environment of learning mindfulness practice were discussed, resulting in opportunities for future research focus with rigorous qualitative methodologies and data analyses.

The Relativistic Avatars of Giant Magnons and their S-Matrix

description: The motion of strings on symmetric space target spaces underlies the integrability of the AdS/CFT correspondence. Although these theories, whose excitations are giant magnons, are non-relativistic they are classically equivalent, via the Polhmeyer reduction, to a relativistic integrable field theory known as a symmetric space sine-Gordon theory. These theories can be formulated as integrable deformations of gauged WZW models. In this work we consider the class of symmetric spaces CP^{n+1} and solve the corresponding generalized sine-Gordon theories at the quantum level by finding the exact spectrum of topological solitons, or kinks, and their S-matrix. The latter involves a trignometric solution of the Yang-Baxer equation which exhibits a quantum group symmetry with a tower of states that is bounded, unlike for magnons, as a result of the quantum group deformation parameter q being a root of unity. We test the S-matrix by taking the semi-classical limit and comparing with the time delays for the scattering of classical solitons. We argue that the internal CP^{n-1} moduli space of collective coordinates of the solitons in the classical theory can be interpreted as a q-deformed fuzzy space in the quantum theory. We analyse the n=1 case separately and provide a further test of the S-matrix conjecture in this case by calculating the central charge of the UV CFT using the thermodynamic Bethe Ansatz.

description: Pb2V3O9 was found to have antiferromagnetic alternating chains of S=1/2 and show the antiferromagnetic long range ordered (AFLRO) state under the magnetic field between 4 and 38 T. We succeeded in growing single crystals of Pb2V3O9 by floating zone method and determined the asymmetric H-T phase diagram of Pb2V3O9 from measurements of the magnetization and the heat capacity. Previous reports focused on the AFLRO state in the low magnetic field region and that in high magnetic field region was not discussed so much. In this paper, we examined the AFLRO state in terms of the mean field theory and the picture of Bose-Einstein condensation of magnons to discuss the whole phase diagram. Consequently, the asymmetry of the phase boundary in Pb2V3O9 is explained by the mixing contribution of excited states and by interchain interactions.

Radiative corrections in fermion bags bound by Higgs boson exchange

description: Radiative corrections for several heavy fermions bound together via the Higgs boson exchange are studied. The fermion bags considered include 12, or fewer, fermions occupying the lowest S_{1/2} shell. It is shown that for `moderately heavy' fermions with masses 0.4< m c^2< 1 TeV the radiative corrections are small, 10^{-2}, and have an attractive nature. Therefore they do not put existence of the fermion bag in doubt. This proves that these fermion bags can exist in nature.

Anharmonic stabilization of the high-pressure simple cubic phase of calcium

description: The phonon spectrum of the high-pressure simple cubic phase of calcium, in the harmonic approx- imation, shows imaginary branches that make it mechanically unstable. In this letter, the phonon spectrum is recalculated using density-functional theory (DFT) ab initio methods fully including anharmonic effects up to fourth order at 50 GPa. Considering that perturbation theory cannot be employed with imaginary harmonic frequencies, a variational procedure based on the Gibbs- Bogoliubov inequality is used to estimate the renormalized phonon frequencies. The results show that strong quantum anharmonic effects make the imaginary phonons become positive even at zero temperature so that the simple cubic phase becomes mechanically stable, as experiments suggest. Moreover, our calculations find a superconducting Tc in agreement with experiments and predict an anomalous behavior of the specific heat.

description: A line of a bilingual document page may contain text words in regional language and numerals in English. For Optical Character Recognition (OCR) of such a document page, it is necessary to identify different script forms before running an individual OCR system. In this paper, we have identified a tool of morphological opening by reconstruction of an image in different directions and regional descriptors for script identification at word level, based on the observation that every text has a distinct visual appearance. The proposed system is developed for three Indian major bilingual documents, Kannada, Telugu and Devnagari containing English numerals. The nearest neighbour and k-nearest neighbour algorithms are applied to classify new word images. The proposed algorithm is tested on 2625 words with various font styles and sizes. The results obtained are quite encouraging
