title: Isothiourea-mediated acylative kinetic resolution of heterocyclic and acyclic tertiary alcohols
Creators: name: Smith, Samuel M
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2018

description: This thesis describes the isothiourea-catalyzed acylative kinetic resolution (KR) of heterocyclic and acyclic tertiary alcohols. The protocols developed for the resolution of these challenging substrates provide access to biologically-relevant small molecules in highly enantioenriched form. Chapter 2 describes the acylative KR of a range of 3-hydroxy-3-substituted oxindole substrates, bearing up to three potential recognition motifs at the stereogenic tertiary carbinol centre. Experimental and computational studies have identified a C=O•••isothiouronium interaction as the key stabilizing interaction for efficient enantiodiscrimination. This interaction was exploited in reactions using the isothiourea catalyst, (2S,3R)-HyperBTM, generally at low catalyst loadings (1 mol %) and isobutyric or acetic anhydride as acylating agent, enabling s values of up to > 200 (30 examples). Chapter 3 focuses on extending the KR protocol to 3-hydroxypyrrolidinone substrates, which do not possess the benzannulation present in the core structure of the substrates resolved in Chapter 2. Re-optimization of the previous KR conditions found (2S,3R)-HyperBTM (2 mol %) as catalyst, acetic anhydride (0.7 equiv.) as acylating agent, in toluene at 0 °C as optimal, enabling s values of up to > 200 to be obtained (27 examples). Variation of the substitution patterns and electronic nature of the pyrrolidinone substrates were investigated, including extension of the protocol for the KR of α-hydroxy-β- and δ-lactam derivatives. Chapter 4 investigates the complete removal of the cyclic structure of the substrate through the KR of a range of acyclic tertiary alcohols. No acylation was observed for acyclic α-hydroxy amides, and poor reactivity and selectivity was observed for α-hydroxy ketones and α-hydroxy phosphonates. However, acylation is readily achieved when using α-hydroxy esters, and this chapter focuses on the KR of these substrates. Optimization studies found (2S,3R)-HyperBTM (5 mol %) as catalyst, isobutyric anhydride (2.0 equiv.) as acylating agent in diethyl ether at rt as optimal, enabling s values of up to 140 (21 examples). The protocol is currently limited to the KR of α-hydroxy esters bearing an aromatic substituent and a methyl group at the carbinol stereocentre, with alkyl substituents larger than methyl leading to either low conversion or selectivity.

description: This paper presents OpTaS, a task specification Python library for Trajectory Optimization (TO) and Model Predictive Control (MPC) in robotics. Both TO and MPC are increasingly receiving interest in optimal control and in particular handling dynamic environments. While a flurry of software libraries exists to handle such problems, they either provide interfaces that are limited to a specific problem formulation (e.g. TracIK, CHOMP), or are large and statically specify the problem in configuration files (e.g. EXOTica, eTaSL). OpTaS, on the other hand, allows a user to specify custom nonlinear constrained problem formulations in a single Python script allowing the controller parameters to be modified during execution. The library provides interface to several open source and commercial solvers (e.g. IPOPT, SNOPT, KNITRO, SciPy) to facilitate integration with established workflows in robotics. Further benefits of OpTaS are highlighted through a thorough comparison with common libraries. An additional key advantage of OpTaS is the ability to define optimal control tasks in the joint space, task space, or indeed simultaneously. The code for OpTaS is easily installed via pip, and the source code with examples can be found at https://github.com/cmower/optas.
A theoretical prediction on huge hole and electron mobilities of 6,6,18-graphdiyne nanoribbons

description: Two-dimensional 6,6,18-graphdiyne and the corresponding one-dimensional nanoribbons are investigated using crystal orbital method. Based on HSE06 functional, the one-dimensional confinement increases the band gaps. With band gaps larger than 0.4 eV, thirty-three 6,6,18-graphdiyne nanoribbons have larger majority carrier mobilities at room temperature than the highest value of armchair graphene nanoribbons. Unlike γ-graphdiyne, 6,6,18-graphdiyne nanoribbons have both huge hole and electron mobilities, depending on whether they are armchair or zigzag type. The huge mobilities are explained by crystal orbital analysis. The superior capabilities of 6,6,18-graphdiyne nanoribbons make them possible candidates for high speed electronic devices in complementary circuits.

description: The qq-characters are powerful tools to reveal symmetries and integrabilities of Seiberg-Witten theories. The goal of this paper is to provide analytic expressions of qq-characters based on Young diagrams in 5d $\mathcal{N} = 1$ pure Yang-Mills theories with BCD-type gauge groups, by focusing on the unrefined limit. Using these expressions, we investigate the relationships among qq-characters of classical gauge groups. For SO(n) gauge groups, we construct a quantum-toroidal-like algebra via the Ward-identity approach, which allows us to derive the qq-characters.

description: A simple method is developed for robustly estimating a fixed dominant axis of rotation (AoR) of anatomical joints from surface marker data. Previous approaches which assume a model of circular marker trajectories use plane fitting to estimate the direction of the AoR. However, when there is limited joint range of motion and rotation due to a second degree of freedom, minimizing only the planar error can give poor estimates of the AoR direction. Optimizing a cost function which includes the error component within a plane, instead of only the component orthogonal to a plane, leads to improved estimates of the AoR direction for joints which exhibit additional rotational motion from a second degree of freedom. Results from synthetic data validation show the ranges of motion where the new method has lower estimation error compared to plane-fitting techniques. Estimates of the flexion–extension AoR from empirical motion capture data of the knee and index finger joints were also more anatomically plausible.

description: Three-body decay functions in space-like parton branches are implemented to evaluate transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) parton distribution functions in the next-to-leading logarithmic (NLL) order of quantum chromodynamics (QCD). Interference contributions due to the next-to-leading order contribution are taken into account for the evaluation of the transverse momenta in initial state parton radiations. Some properties of the decay functions are also examined. As an example, we compare our results with an algorithm proposed in Ref.1), in which a transverse momentum distributions are evaluated at the last step of parton evolutions.

description: The purpose of this note is to propose an application of the Lambert W function in linear viscoelasticity based on the Bernstein and Stieltjes properties of this function. In particular we recognize the role of the main branch W_0(t) in a peculiar model of creep with two spectral functions in frequency that completely characterize the creep model. In order to calculate these spectral functions, it turns out that the conjugate symmetry property of the Lambert W function along its branch cut on the negative real axis is essential. We supplement our analysis by computing the corresponding relaxation function and providing the plots of all computed functions.

description: Cercando di ascoltare le voci delle donne incarcerate nel Brasile contemporaneo, praticamente assenti nel boom della Letteratura Carceraria degli anni 2000, presentiamo l’attività culturale ‘Scambio Poetico’. L’attività ha fatto parte della mostra ‘Corpo, Genere, Carcerazione’ nel Centro Culturale di São Paulo (SESC) nel 2018. È stato uno scambio di corrispondenze con le donne della prigione femminile della capitale, uno scambio dedicato alla condivisione di esperienze e affetti. Nonostante qualche problema, si possono conoscere alcune delle loro necessità e sofferenze, a cui si ha offerto ascolto e conforto. Abbiamo confermato la considerazione di Gayatri Spivak (2010) che sostiene che il subalterno è una categoria essenzialmente eterogenea.

On the non-linear stability of the Cosmological region of the Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime

description: The non-linear stability of the sub-extremal Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime in the stationary region near the conformal boundary is analysed using a technique based on the extended conformal Einstein field equations and a conformal Gaussian gauge. This strategy relies on the observation that the Cosmological stationary region of this exact solution can be covered by a non-intersecting congruence of conformal geodesics. Thus, the future domain of dependence of suitable spacelike hypersurfaces in the Cosmological region of the spacetime can be expressed in terms of a conformal Gaussian gauge. A perturbative argument then allows us to prove existence and stability results close to the conformal boundary and away from the asymptotic points where the Cosmological horizon intersects the conformal boundary. In particular, we show that small enough perturbations of initial data for the sub-extremal Schwarzschild-de Sitter spacetime give rise to a solution to the Einstein field equations which is regular at the conformal boundary. The analysis in this article can be regarded as a first step towards a stability argument for perturbation data on the Cosmological horizons.

description: This paper introduces a novel class of hyperredundant robots comprised of chains of permanently magnetized spheres enclosed in a cylindrical polymer skin. With their shape controlled using an externally-applied magnetic field, the spherical joints of these robots enable them to bend to very small radii of curvature. These robots can be used as steerable tips for endoluminal instruments. A kinematic model is derived based on minimizing magnetic and elastic potential energy. Simulation is used to demonstrate the enhanced steerability of these robots in comparison to magnetic soft continuum robots designed using either distributed or lumped magnetic material. Experiments are included to validate the model and to demonstrate the steering capability of ball chain robots in bifurcating channels.

description: We report on the first nulling interferometric observations with the Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer (LBTI), resolving the N' band (9.81 - 12.41 um) emission around the nearby main-sequence star eta Crv (F2V, 1-2 Gyr). The measured source null depth amounts to 4.40% +/- 0.35% over a field-of-view of 140 mas in radius (~2.6\,AU at the distance of eta Corvi) and shows no significant variation over 35° of sky rotation. This relatively low null is unexpected given the total disk to star flux ratio measured by Spitzer/IRS (~23% across the N' band), suggesting that a significant fraction of the dust lies within the central nulled response of the LBTI (79 mas or 1.4 AU). Modeling of the warm disk shows that it cannot resemble a scaled version of the Solar zodiacal cloud, unless it is almost perpendicular to the outer disk imaged by Herschel. It is more likely that the inner and outer disks are coplanar and the warm dust is located at a distance of 0.5-1.0 AU, significantly closer than previously predicted by models of the IRS spectrum (~3 AU). The predicted disk sizes can be reconciled if the warm disk is not centrosymmetric, or if the dust particles are dominated by very small grains. Both possibilities hint that a recent collision has produced much of the dust. Finally, we discuss the implications for the presence of dust at the distance where the insolation is the same as Earth's (2.3 AU).

In this paper, we present rather large class of such p-adic functional series with integer coefficients which contain factorials. By recurrence relations, we constructed sequence of polynomials A_k(n;x) which are a generator for a few other sequences also relevant to some problems in number theory and combinatorics.

description: L’articolo ha come centro d’indagine le recenti ricerche dell’arte contemporanea che ruotano intorno alla figura della prigione. Quest’ultima viene indagata tanto nella sua dimensione fisica quanto nel suo significato metaforico, legato in particolare alla società contemporanea. Nelle opere analizzate la cella, la gabbia, il carcere sono metafora di un mondo in cui l’esasperazione della condivisione, a cui ci ha abituato internet, non è andata di pari passo con l’accrescimento di forme liberate di espressione, ma si è configurata piuttosto come una sempre più evidente mancanza di privacy.

description: Attraverso le riflessioni prodotte da un corpus di opere che sfugge alle categorie romanzesche, intendiamo interrogare il contributo della letteratura francese contemporanea alla rappresentazione della prigione. Un universo così ‘a margine’ rimane ‘al margine’ della letteratura o partecipa a pieno titolo alle sue forme in un momento in cui esse stesse sfuggono a un codice normativo e si ibridano tra loro? Prison di François Bon, Le bruit des trousseaux di Philippe Claudel, fragmentation d’un lieu commun di Jane Sautière, La grande maison di Michèle Sales, Prof chez les taulards di Aude ci invitano a riflettere sul potenziale di accoglienza da parte della letteratura di un universo così specifico e su una nuova forma di engagement letterario.

La chiave educativa di un positivo cambiamento attraverso il teatro. Il corpo del condannato in Gramsci, Genet, Kafka, Foucault.
Creators: name: Minoia, Vito
Publisher: name: Publifarum
Year: 2022

description: Lo scritto si ispira ad un’esperienza condotta dall’autore, impegnato in un progetto educativo di elaborazione drammaturgica e scenica con la Compagnia di detenuti e detenute “Lo Spacco” nella Casa Circondariale di Pesaro. Il lavoro trae linfa dalle Lettere dal carcere di Antonio Gramsci, offrendo lo spunto per una riflessione sulle trasformazioni “molecolari” della persona reclusa. La storia dell’immaginario ha spesso avuto opere letterarie ed artistiche tra i suoi documenti privilegiati. La riflessione individua quindi un viaggio comparativo, nella prospettiva della costruzione di un modello culturologico. Limitatamente ad alcuni scritti novecenteschi presi in considerazione (da Genet, Kafka, Foucault), si illustra come l’attenzione dei singoli scrittori sia focalizzata essenzialmente sulle tecniche coercitive che, nell’ambito del “luogo-prigione”, si esercitano sul corpo del condannato ripercorrendo le tappe di un vero e proprio “processo di decorporeizzazione” (con Deleuze) nella strategia del potere di punire.

Alla periferia della periferia: raccontare la prigione nel Brasile contemporaneo
Creators: name: Fazzini, Luca
Publisher: name: Publifarum
Year: 2022

description: A partire dagli anni Novanta si assiste in Brasile alla pubblicazione di numerose opere volte a rappresentare lo spazio e l’esperienza del carcere. Repressione omicida, violenza, degrado e abbandono motivano l’urgenza di testimoniare, attraverso le forme della letteratura, il dramma della detenzione. È da tale esigenza che sorge Estação Carandiru (1999),opera pubblicata dal medico DrauzioVarella in seguito alla strage avvenuta nel 1992 nel carcere di Carandiru, e anni più tardi Prisioneiras (2017), romanzo di testimonianza in cui l’autore interroga l’universo carcerario femminile. Con la lettura critica di queste due opere, il presente articolo pretende interrogare le dinamiche del potere nel Brasile contemporaneo, evidenziando la persistenza delle logiche coloniali e schiaviste nella contemporaneità urbana brasiliana.

description: Dark matter from the galactic halo can accumulate in neutron stars and transmute them into sub-2.5 $M_{\odot}$ black holes if the dark matter particles are heavy, stable, and have interactions with nucleons. We show that non-detection of gravitational waves from mergers of such low-mass black holes can constrain the interactions of non-annihilating dark matter particles with nucleons. We find benchmark constraints with LIGO O3 data, viz., $σ_{χn} \geq {\cal O}(10^{-47})$ cm$^2$ for bosonic DM with $m_χ\sim$ PeV (or $m_χ\sim$ GeV, if they can Bose-condense) and $\geq {\cal O}(10^{-46})$ cm$^2$ for fermionic DM with $m_χ\sim 10^3$ PeV. These bounds depend on the priors on DM parameters and on the currently uncertain binary neutron star merger rate density. However, with increased exposure by the end of this decade, LIGO will probe cross-sections that are many orders of magnitude below the neutrino floor and completely test the dark matter solution to missing pulsars in the Galactic center, demonstrating a windfall science-case for gravitational wave detectors as probes of particle dark matter.

description: Photoinjectors are widely used for linear accelerators as electron sources to generate high-brightness electron beam. Drive laser, which determines the timing structure and quality of the electron beam, is a crucial device of photoinjector. A new drive laser system has been designed and constructed for the upgraded 3.5-cell DC-SRF photoinjector at Peking University. The drive laser system consists of a 1064 nm laser oscillator, a four- stage amplifier, the second and fourth harmonic generators, the optical system to transfer the UV pulses to the photocathode, and the synchronization system. The drive laser system has been successfully applied in the stable operation of DC-SRF photoinjector and its performance meets the requirements. 266 nm laser with an average power close to 1W can be delivered to illuminate the Cs2Te photocathode and the instability is less than 5% for long time operation. The design consideration for improving the UV laser quality, a detailed description of laser system, and its performance are presented in this paper.

We present a large-scale floating vehicle dataset of per-street segment traffic information, Metropolitan Segment Traffic Speeds from Massive Floating Car Data in 10 Cities (MeTS-10), available for 10 global cities with a 15-minute resolution for collection periods ranging between 108 and 361 days in 2019-2021 and covering more than 1500 square kilometers per metropolitan area. MeTS-10 features traffic speed information at all street levels from main arterials to local streets for Antwerp, Bangkok, Barcelona, Berlin, Chicago, Istanbul, London, Madrid, Melbourne and Moscow. The dataset leverages the industrial-scale floating vehicle Traffic4cast data with speeds and vehicle counts provided in a privacy-preserving spatio-temporal aggregation. We detail the efficient matching approach mapping the data to the OpenStreetMap road graph. We evaluate the dataset by comparing it with publicly available stationary vehicle detector data (for Berlin, London, and Madrid) and the Uber traffic speed dataset (for Barcelona, Berlin, and London). The comparison highlights the differences across datasets in spatio-temporal coverage and variations in the reported traffic caused by the binning method. MeTS-10 enables novel, city-wide analysis of mobility and traffic patterns for ten major world cities, overcoming current limitations of spatially sparse vehicle detector data. The large spatial and temporal coverage offers an opportunity for joining the MeTS-10 with other datasets, such as traffic surveys in traffic planning studies or vehicle detector data in traffic control settings.

title: An analysis of the Stationers’ Company Register, lost books and printing in London, 1557-1640
Creators: name: Hill, Alexandra
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2017

description: My thesis is the first attempt to analyse systematically the entries relating to lost books in the Stationers’ Company Register. The monopoly of the Stationers’ Company centralised book production in England to the limited number of presses its members operated, all of which were in London. As a result, the Stationers’ Company Register contains almost all the books authorised to be printed during the Elizabethan, Jacobean and early Caroline periods. Analysis of surviving books has understandably dominated work on early modern print. However, by correlating entries in the Stationers’ Company Register with data on extant copies in the English Short Title Catalogue (ESTC), a list can be created of books printed but no longer traceable to an existing copy. Such a list provides new data on the titles available, showing the works on which printers were willing to risk time, capital and resources, even if they are no longer extant. It also reveals the sheer variety of books being printed, particularly in the case of more ephemeral works, where the Register is often the only indication that they were printed at all. The Stationers’ Register is a remarkable, underused resource that can reveal much about book production and the book trade, including critical issues of survival and loss.

description: We numerically study a mesoscopic system consisting of magnetic nanorings in the presence of thermal magnetization fluctuations. We find the formation of dipolar-field-mediated ``bonds" promoting the formation of annuli clusters, where the amount of bonds between two rings varies between zero and two. This system resembles the formation of polymers from artificial atoms, which in our case are the annuli and where the valency of the atom is set by the ring multipolarity. We investigate the thermodynamic properties of the resulting structures, and find a transition associated with the formation of the bonds. In addition, we find that the system has a tendency to form topological structures, with a distinct critical temperature in relation to the one for bond formation.

description: Many learning algorithms used as normative models in neuroscience or as candidate approaches for learning on neuromorphic chips learn by contrasting one set of network states with another. These Contrastive Learning (CL) algorithms are traditionally implemented with rigid, temporally non-local, and periodic learning dynamics that could limit the range of physical systems capable of harnessing CL. In this study, we build on recent work exploring how CL might be implemented by biological or neurmorphic systems and show that this form of learning can be made temporally local, and can still function even if many of the dynamical requirements of standard training procedures are relaxed. Thanks to a set of general theorems corroborated by numerical experiments across several CL models, our results provide theoretical foundations for the study and development of CL methods for biological and neuromorphic neural networks.

description: Motility is an essential factor for an organism's survival and diversification. With the advent of novel single-cell technologies, analytical frameworks and theoretical methods, we can begin to probe the complex lives of microscopic motile organisms and answer the intertwining biological and physical questions of how these diverse lifeforms navigate their surroundings. Herein, we give an overview of different experimental, analytical, and mathematical methods used to study a suite of microscale motility mechanisms across different scales encompassing molecular-, individual- to population-level. We identify transferable techniques, pressing challenges, and future directions in the field. This review can serve as a starting point for researchers who are interested in exploring and quantifying the movements of organisms in the microscale world.

La funzione simbolica del carcere nell’immaginario letterario e cinematografico americano

description: Poche culture sono ossessionate dal tema del carcere come quella americana. La tesi è che questa ossessione sia frutto della particolare concezione dello spazio che si è andata sedimentando in America a partire da due archetipi originari: il puritanesimo e la frontiera. Visto con gli occhi della frontiera il carcere è l’esito distopico dell’assenza di spazio che produce conflitti non mediabili. Per il puritanesimo, il carcere rappresenta simbolicamente il lato oscuro e diabolico che va perennemente delimitato e controllato sino alla fine dei tempi.

Search for a Higgs boson in the mass range from 145 to 1000 GeV decaying to a pair of W or Z bosons

Year: 2015

description: A search for a heavy Higgs boson in the H to WW and H to ZZ decay channels is reported. The search is based upon proton-proton collision data samples corresponding to an integrated luminosity of up to 5.1 inverse femtobarns at sqrt(s) = 7 TeV and up to 19.7 inverse femtobarns at sqrt(s) = 8 TeV, recorded by the CMS experiment at the CERN LHC. Several final states of the H to WW and H to ZZ decays are analyzed. The combined upper limit at the 95% confidence level on the product of the cross section and branching fraction exclude a Higgs boson with standard model-like couplings and decays in the range 145 < m[H] < 1000 GeV. We also interpret the results in the context of an electroweak singlet extension of the standard model.

Bacterial Community Composition and Extracellular Enzymatic Function in Marine Waters
Creators: name: D'Ambrosio, Lindsay
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2011

description: Bacteria play an important role in the degradation of marine organic matter. A crucial first step involves bacterial release of extracellular enzymes to break large molecules into smaller, more manageable pieces. These enzymes are substrate-specific; if a community does not have a particular extracellular enzyme, it cannot access that portion of organic matter. This study is a first step in connecting bacterial community composition and hydrolytic function. Bacterial communities were compared from several different perspectives: particle-associated versus free-living, active versus extant, coastal versus offshore, and at the surface versus at depth. The community composition analysis was paired with enzymatic hydrolysis analysis from the same community. This parallel approach has revealed important information about factors affecting bacterial community composition, provided an enlightening context for the interpretation of the hydrolytic capabilities of bacterial communities, and identified possible connections and points of disconnect between bacterial community composition and function.
title: Forgiveness & atonement : a sacrificial account of divine-human reconciliation
Creators: name: Rutledge, Jonathan
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews
Year: 2018

description: In this thesis, I construct a sacrificial explanation of atonement, the expanded version of which explains how the work of Christ addresses in various ways every component of the problem of sin. The first two chapters of this endeavour argue for a Wolterstorffian definition of forgiveness according to which forgiveness is the act of ceasing to treat a wrong as part of a wrongdoer’s moral history and instead as part of their personal history. Moreover, I demonstrate that this definition of forgiveness is superior to the major alternatives in the literature due in no small part to its consistency with various philosophical desiderata and biblical constraints detailed in the first two chapters. In the final two chapters, I turn to an investigation of the doctrine of atonement. The most popular contemporary model of atonement in many Protestant Christian circles is a penal substitution model that assumes the centrality of a strong form of retributivism in the biblical narrative. In chapter three, I argue that the major biblical understanding of justice as fundamentally restorative in nature. I then develop an alternative form of penal substitution that rests on this restorative rationale for justice rather than the typical retributivist strain. This model of atonement, however, seems to me lacking in explanatory scope due to its limited appeal to the biblical texts. Thus, in chapter four, I offer an alternative atonement model- i.e. a sacrificial one- that combines elements of the rituals of yom kippur and Passover to explain how the work Christ addresses most of the components of the problem of sin. Lastly, I combine this sacrificial model with my account of forgiveness to address the remaining components of the problem of sin.

description: Geospatial datasets derived from remote sensing data by means of machine learning methods are often based on probabilistic outputs of abstract nature, which are difficult to translate into interpretable measures. For example, the Global Human Settlement Layer GHS-BUILT-S2 product reports the probability of the presence of built-up areas in 2018 in a global 10 m x 10 m grid. However, practitioners typically require interpretable measures such as binary surfaces indicating the presence or absence of built-up areas or estimates of sub-pixel built-up surface fractions. Herein, we assess the relationship between the built-up probability in GHS-BUILT-S2 and reference built-up surface fractions derived from a highly reliable reference database for several regions in the United States. Furthermore, we identify a binarization threshold using an agreement maximization method that creates binary built-up land data from these built-up probabilities. These binary surfaces are input to a spatially explicit, scale-sensitive accuracy assessment which includes the use of a novel, visual-analytical tool which we call focal precision-recall signature plots. Our analysis reveals that a threshold of 0.5 applied to GHS-BUILT-S2 maximizes the agreement with binarized built-up land data derived from the reference built-up area fraction. We find high levels of accuracy (i.e., county-level F-1 scores of almost 0.8 on average) in the derived built-up areas, and consistently high accuracy along the rural-urban gradient in our study area. These results reveal considerable accuracy improvements in human settlement models based on Sentinel-2 data and deep learning, in both rural and urban areas, as compared to earlier, Landsat-based versions of the Global Human Settlement Layer.

description: The Reeb graph is a construction which originated in Morse theory to study a real valued function defined on a topological space. More recently, it has been used in various applications to study noisy data which creates a desire to define a measure of similarity between these structures. Here, we exploit the fact that the category of Reeb graphs is equivalent to the category of a particular class of cosheaf. Using this equivalency, we can define an `interleaving' distance between Reeb graphs which is stable under the perturbation of a function. Along the way, we obtain a natural construction for smoothing a Reeb graph to reduce its topological complexity. The smoothed Reeb graph can be constructed in polynomial time.
