Dielectric propertie

description: The objective of this dissertation is to study the effect of wettability, clay content, water saturation and salinity on the electrical properties of hydrocarbon bearing rocks. The frequency range of interest is 10 Hz to 10 MHz. Measurements were made for the impedance of both fully and partially saturated rocks using the four-electrode method and for fully saturated rocks using the two-electrode method. These measurements include both clean and shaly sand samples. For fully saturated rocks, the dielectric constant is found to increase with the clay volume fraction, the cation exchange capacity and the electrochemical potential of the rock samples. It is found to decrease with increasing salinity, frequency, permeability, and porosity. Neither stress, nor wettability appear to significantly influence the dielectric constant of fully brine saturated Berea cores. Empirical correlations between the dielectric constant, frequency, permeability, cation exchange capacity, and porosity are presented for tight gas sands used in this study. These correlations provide a means of estimating important petrophysical parameters such as the permeability and the clay content from a non-destructive complex impedance sweep of tight gas sands fully saturated with brine. A lower critical frequency is found to characterize the geometry of the pore space. For partially saturated rocks, the dielectric constant appears to depend linearly on water saturation above 0.1 MHz and to have a power law dependence on water saturation below 0.1 MHz. This frequency appears to be the limit below which the resistivity index was invariant to frequency and at which all experimental runs displayed a peak in the reactivity index. Wettability effects were pronounced below 10 KHz. The effects observed experimentally are explained on the basis of the Generalized Maxwell-Wagner Theory. It is shown that the model presented by Lima and Sharma agrees quantitatively with the measured effects of porosity, clay content, saturation, grain size, and frequency. The Lima-Sharma theory for modeling the complex impedance of partially saturated shaly sands has been inverted. This inversion allows a log analyst to use low ( < lKHz) and high (> lMHz) complex impedance data from well logs to calculate reservoir petrophysical parameters such as water saturations in the virgin formation and in the flushed zone, porosity, clay volume fraction, clay surface charge density, and grain size.

description: This paper presents the design of ladder-type filters based on film bulk acoustic wave resonator (FBAR) in Ku-band. The proposed FBAR filter has an insertion loss of -3 dB, out-of-band rejection of -12 dB and 3 dB bandwidth of 1.0 GHz from 15 GHz to 16 GHz. Based on the characteristics of the FBAR filter, the expected characteristics of FBAR resonators are determined by using the 1D numerical analysis. This design proves that it is possible to design a wide-bandwidth FBAR filter in Ku-band. © 2013 N. Izza M. Nor et al.

description: Salvia spp. are used throughout the world both for food and pharmaceutical purposes. In this study, a method involving headspace solid-phase microextraction combined with gas chromatography–mass spectrometry was developed, to establish the volatiles profile of dried leaves of four Iranian Salvia spp.: Salvia officinalis L., Salvia leriifolia Benth, Salvia macrosiphon Boiss. and two ecotypes of Salvia reuterana Boiss. A total of 95 volatiles were identified from the dried leaves of the five selected samples. Specifically, α-thujone was the main component of S. officinalis L. and S. macrosiphon Boiss. (34.40 and 17.84%, respectively) dried leaves, S. leriifolia Benth was dominated by β-pinene (27.03%), whereas α-terpinene was the major constituent of the two ecotypes of S. reuterana Boiss. (21.67 and 13.84%, respectively). These results suggested that the proposed method can be considered as a reliable technique for isolating volatiles from aromatic plants, and for plant differentiation based on the volatile metabolomic profile.

description: The aim of this work was to evaluate the interactions between gentamicin and the ethanol extract of the fern Lygodium venustum SW (EELV). The ethanol extract of L. venustum was obtained, the phytocompounds were identified and the EELV was assayed by the checkerboard method with gentamicin against two bacterial strains multiresistant to antibiotics. The antibiotic activity of gentamicin, when associated with the extract, was enhanced in an additive manner against both strains. The results indicated that L. venustum can be a source of secondary metabolites to be used in association with antibiotics as aminoglycosides in the antibiotic chemotherapy against resistant bacteria.

description: Methodologies were developed to classify wetlands (Open Bog, Treed Bog, Open Fen, Treed Fen, and Swamps) from remotely sensed data using advanced classification algorithms through two hierarchical approaches. The data utilized included multispectral optical and thermal data (Landsat-5, and Landsat-8), radar imagery (Sentinel-1), and a digital elevation model. Goals were to determine the best way to combine imagery to classify wetlands through hierarchically based classification approaches to produce more accurate and efficient maps compared to standard classification. Algorithms used were Random Forest (RF), and Naïve Bayes. A hierarchically based RF classification methodology produced the most accurate classification result (91.94%). The hierarchically based approaches also improved classification accuracies for low-quality data, as defined through feature analysis, when compared to a nonhierarchical classifier. The hierarchical approaches also produced a significant increase in classification accuracy for the Naïve Bayes classifier versus the standard approach (∼12% increase) while not significantly increasing computation time – comparable in accuracy to the RF tests for around 20% the computational effort. Preselection of spectral bands, polarizations and other input parameters (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index, Normalized Difference Water Index, albedo, slope, etc.) using log-normal or RF variable importance analysis was very effective at identifying low-quality features and features which were of higher quality.

description: Semantic mapping based on the supervised object detectors is sensitive to image distribution. In real-world environments, the object detection and segmentation performance can lead to a major drop, preventing the use of semantic mapping in a wider domain. On the other hand, the development of vision-language foundation models demonstrates a strong zero-shot transferability across data distribution. It provides an opportunity to construct generalizable instance-aware semantic maps. Hence, this work explores how to boost instance-aware semantic mapping from object detection generated from foundation models. We propose a probabilistic label fusion method to predict close-set semantic classes from open-set label measurements. An instance refinement module merges the over-segmented instances caused by inconsistent segmentation. We integrate all the modules into a unified semantic mapping system. Reading a sequence of RGB-D input, our work incrementally reconstructs an instance-aware semantic map. We evaluate the zero-shot performance of our method in ScanNet and SceneNN datasets. Our method achieves 40.3 mean average precision (mAP) on the ScanNet semantic instance segmentation task. It outperforms the traditional semantic mapping method significantly.

description: We present novel statistical tools to cross-correlate frequency cleaned thermal Sunyaev- Zel'dovich (tSZ) maps and tomographic weak lensing (wl) convergence maps. Moving beyond the lowest order cross-correlation, we introduce a hierarchy of mixed higher order statistics, the cumulants and cumulant correlators, to analyse non-Gaussianity in real space, as well as corresponding polyspectra in the harmonic domain. Using thesemoments, we derive analytical expressions for the joint two-point probability distribution function for smoothed tSZ (y) and convergence (κ) maps. The presence of tomographic information allows us to study the evolution of higher order mixed tSZ-wl statistics with redshift. We express the joint PDFs pκy(κ, y) in terms of individual one-point PDFs [pκ (κ), py(y)] and the relevant bias functions [bκ (κ), by(y)]. Analytical results for two different regimes are presented that correspond to the small and large angular smoothing scales. Results are also obtained for corresponding hotspots in the tSZ and convergence maps. In addition to results based on hierarchical techniques and perturbative methods, we present results of calculations based on the lognormal approximation. The analytical expressions derived here are generic and applicable to cross-correlation studies of arbitrary tracers of large-scale structure including, e.g., that of tSZ and soft X-ray background. We provide detailed comparison of our analytical results against state of the art Millennium Gas Simulations with and without non-gravitational effects such as pre-heating and cooling. Comparison of these results with gravity only simulations, shows reasonable agreement and can be used to isolate effect of non-gravitational physics from observational data.

description: Background and aim: The Danish Health and Medicines Authority assembled a group of experts to develop a national clinical guideline for patients with schizophrenia and complex mental health needs. Within this context, ten explicit review questions were formulated, covering several identified key issues. Methods: Systematic literature searches were performed stepwise for each review question to identify relevant guidelines, systematic reviews/meta-analyses, and randomized controlled trials. The quality of the body of evidence for each review question was assessed using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) system. Clinical recommendations were developed on the basis of the evidence, assessment of the risk-benefit ratio, and perceived patient preferences. Results: Based on the identified evidence, a guideline development group (GDG) recommended that the following interventions should be offered routinely: antipsychotic maintenance therapy, family intervention and assertive community treatment. The following interventions should be considered: long-acting injectable antipsychotics, neurocognitive training, social cognitive training, cognitive behavioural therapy for persistent positive and/or negative symptoms, and the combination of cognitive behavioural therapy and motivational interviewing for cannabis and/or central stimulant abuse. SSRI or SNRI add-on treatment for persistent negative symptoms should be used only cautiously. Where no evidence was available, the GDG agreed on a good practice recommendation. Conclusions: The implementation of this guideline in daily clinical practice can facilitate good treatment outcomes within the population of patients with schizophrenia and complex mental health needs. The guideline does not cover all available interventions and should be used in conjunction with other relevant guidelines.

description: A series of mononuclear five-coordinate cobalt(II) complexes, [Co(dbdmp)(X)]Y, where dbdmp = N,N-diethyl-N’,N’-bis((3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl)ethane-1,2-diamine, X = N3- / NCO- / NCS- and Y = PF6- / BF4- / ClO4-, have been synthesized and characterized by microanalyses and spectroscopic techniques. Crystal structures of [Co(N3)(dbdmp)]PF6 (1), [Co(N3)(dbdmp)]ClO4 (3), [Co(NCO)(dbdmp)]PF6 (4), [Co(NCO)(dbdmp)]ClO4 (6) and [Co(NCS)(dbdmp)]ClO4 (9) have been solved by single crystal X-ray diffraction studies and showed that all the complexes have distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry; PF6- counter anion containing complexes [Co(N3)(dbdmp)]PF6 and [Co(NCO)(dbdmp)]PF6 have chiral space groups. The binding ability of synthesized complexes with CT-DNA and BSA has been studied by spectroscopic methods and viscosity measurements. The experimental results of absorption titration of cobalt(II) complexes with CT-DNA indicate that the complexes have ability to form adducts and they can stabilize the DNA helix. The cobalt(II) complexes exhibit good binding propensity to bovine serum albumin protein.

description: Code auditing ensures that the developed code adheres to standards, regulations, and copyright protection by verifying that it does not contain code from protected sources. The recent advent of Large Language Models (LLMs) as coding assistants in the software development process poses new challenges for code auditing. The dataset for training these models is mainly collected from publicly available sources. This raises the issue of intellectual property infringement as developers' codes are already included in the dataset. Therefore, auditing code developed using LLMs is challenging, as it is difficult to reliably assert if an LLM used during development has been trained on specific copyrighted codes, given that we do not have access to the training datasets of these models. Given the non-disclosure of the training datasets, traditional approaches such as code clone detection are insufficient for asserting copyright infringement. To address this challenge, we propose a new approach, TraWiC; a model-agnostic and interpretable method based on membership inference for detecting code inclusion in an LLM's training dataset. We extract syntactic and semantic identifiers unique to each program to train a classifier for detecting code inclusion. In our experiments, we observe that TraWiC is capable of detecting 83.87% of codes that were used to train an LLM. In comparison, the prevalent clone detection tool NiCad is only capable of detecting 47.64%. In addition to its remarkable performance, TraWiC has low resource overhead in contrast to pair-wise clone detection that is conducted during the auditing process of tools like CodeWhisperer reference tracker, across thousands of code snippets.

description: It is difficult for robots to retrieve objects in densely cluttered lateral access scenes with movable objects as jamming against adjacent objects and walls can inhibit progress. We propose the use of two action primitives -- burrowing and excavating -- that can fluidize the scene to un-jam obstacles and enable continued progress. Even when these primitives are implemented in an open loop manner at clock-driven intervals, we observe a decrease in the final distance to the target location. Furthermore, we combine the primitives into a closed loop hybrid control strategy using tactile and proprioceptive information to leverage the advantages of both primitives without being overly disruptive. In doing so, we achieve a 10-fold increase in success rate above the baseline control strategy and significantly improve completion times as compared to the primitives alone or a naive combination of them.

description: Molecular communication (MC) has promising potential and a wide range of applications. However, odor-based communication which is common in nature, has not been sufficiently examined within the context of MC, yet. In this paper, we introduce a novel approach for implementing odor-based MC systems. We propose a new modulation scheme called Odor Perceptual Shift Keying (OPSK), which encodes information by shifting the perceptual values of odor molecules in pleasantness, intensity and edibility dimensions. We construct a system which transmits OPSK modulated signals between a transmitter and receiver. We conduct analyses on the system parameters to simulate performance metrics such as symbol error rate (SER) and symbol rate (SR). Our analyses indicate that OPSK has a potential for realizing odor-based MC systems. We find that under certain conditions, reliable odor-based MC systems can be implemented using OPSK across a variety of distance ranges from millimeters up to kilometers. Additionally, we introduce adaptive symbol transmission to our system for input symbol sequences featuring symbols that occur with unequal probabilities. We further demonstrate that the proposed algorithm at the transmitter side can achieve extended operation times.

description: Scholars characterize decision-making in the European Union (EU) as increasingly dispersed across different levels of political authority. This has implications for political representation. Yet, little is known about whether and how public opinion differs across levels of governance. In this article, we consider evaluations of issue priorities. Specifically, we use data from the Eurobarometer to evaluate the degree of correspondence between issues that citizens consider important to them personally, to their country and to the EU. We find generally weak relationships between these different levels, which suggests national issue priorities are distinct from both personal and EU priorities. The results indicate that more careful research is needed to understand how public priorities at different levels affect politics and policy in the EU.

description: This study addresses ductile fracture of single grains in metals by modeling of the formation and propagation of transgranular cracks. A proposed model integrates gradient extended hardening, phase-field modeling for fracture, and crystal plasticity. It is presented in a thermodynamical framework in large deformation kinematics and accounts for damage irreversibility. A micromorphic approach for variationally and thermodynamically consistent damage irreversibility is adopted. The main objective of this work is to analyze the capability of the proposed model to predict transgranular crack propagation. Further, the micromorphic approach for damage irreversibility is evaluated in the context of the presented ductile phase-field model. This is done by analyzing the impact of gradient-enhanced hardening considering micro-free and micro-hard boundary conditions, studying the effect of the micromorphic regularization parameter, evaluating the performance of the model in ratcheting loading and and testing its capability to predict three-dimensional crack propagation. In order to solve the fully coupled global and local equation systems, a staggered solution scheme that extends to the local level is presented.

description: The electric field effects on conformational properties of trialanine in different halide solutions were explored with long-scale molecular dynamics simulations. NaF, NaCl, NaBr and NaI solutions of low (0.2 M) and high (2 M) concentrations were exposed to a constant electric field of 1000 V/m. Generally, the electric field does not disturb trialanine's structure. Large structural changes appear only in the case of the supersaturated 2.0 M NaF solution containing NaF crystals. Although the electric field affects in a complex way, all the ions–water–peptide interactions, it predominantly affects the electroselectivity effect, which describes specific interactions such as the ion-pair formation.

description: The mysterious nature of the dark sector of the $Λ$CDM model is one of the main motivators behind the study of alternative cosmological models. A central quantity of interest for these models is the matter power spectrum, which quantifies structure formation on various scales and can be cross-validated through theory, simulations, and observations. We present a tool that can be used to create emulators for the non-linear matter power spectrum, and similar global clustering statistics, for models beyond $Λ$CDM with very little computation effort and without the need for supercomputers. We use fast approximate N-body simulations to emulate the boost, $B(k,z)=P_{\text{beyond}-Λ\rm CDM}(k,z) / P_{Λ\rm CDM}(k, z)$, and then rely on existing high-quality emulators made for $Λ$CDM to isolate $P_{\text{beyond}-Λ\rm CDM}(k,z)$. Since both the $Λ$CDM and beyond-$Λ$CDM models are simulated in our approach, some of the lack of power on small scales is factored out, allowing us to extend the emulator to $k \sim 3-5\,h\,\mathrm{Mpc}^{-1}$ and still maintain good accuracy. In addition, errors from the simulation and emulation process can be estimated and factored into the covariance when using the emulator on data. As an example of using the pipeline, we create an emulator for the well-studied $f(R)$ model with massive neutrinos, using approximately 3000 CPU hours of computation time. Provided with the paper is a fully functioning pipeline that generates parameter samples, runs a Boltzmann solver to produce initial conditions, runs the simulations, and then gathers all the data and runs it through a machine learning module to develop the emulator. This tool, named Sesame, can be used by anyone to generate a power spectrum emulator for the cosmological model of their choice.

description: The Rosenzweig-Porter model is a single-parameter random matrix ensemble that supports an ergodic, fractal, and localized phase. The names of these phases refer to the properties of the (midspectrum) eigenstates. This work focuses on the long-range spectral statistics of the recently introduced unitary equivalent of this model. By numerically studying the Thouless time obtained from the spectral form factor, it is argued that long-range spectral statistics can be used to probe the transition between the ergodic and the fractal phases. The scaling of the Thouless time as a function of the model parameters is found to be similar to the scaling of the spreading width of the eigenstates. Provided that the transition between the fractal and the localized phases can be probed through short-range level statistics, such as the average ratio of consecutive level spacings, this work establishes that spectral statistics are sufficient to probe both transitions present in the phase diagram.

description: We consider the 2-spin spherical Sherrington--Kirkpatrick model without external magnetic field where the interactions between the spins are given as random variables with heavy-tailed distribution. We show that the free energy exhibits a sharp phase transition depending on the location of the largest eigenvalue of the interaction matrix. We also prove the order of the limiting free energy and the limiting distribution of the fluctuation of the free energy for both regimes.

description: Beyond the Li-Haldane-Poilblanc conjecture, we find the entanglement Hamiltonian (EH) is actually not closely similar to the original Hamiltonian on the virtual edge. Unexpectedly, the EH has some relevant long-range interacting terms which hugely affect the physics. Without loss of generality, we study a spin-1/2 Heisenberg bilayer to obtain the entanglement information between the two layers through our newly developed quantum Monte Carlo scheme, which can simulate large-scale EH. Although the entanglement spectrum carrying the Goldstone mode seems like a Heisenberg model on a single layer, which is consistent with Li-Haldane-Poilblanc conjecture, we demonstrate that there actually exists a finite-temperature phase transition of the EH. The results violate the Mermin-Wagner theorem, which means there should be relevant long-range terms in the EH. It reveals that the Li-Haldane-Poilblanc conjecture ignores necessary corrections for the EH which may lead totally different physics.

description: In this paper, we present an analysis of Supernova Ia (SNIa) distance moduli $μ(z)$ and dark energy using an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) reconstruction based on LSST simulated three-year SNIa data. The ANNs employed in this study utilize genetic algorithms for hyperparameter tuning and Monte Carlo Dropout for predictions. Our ANN reconstruction architecture is capable of modeling both the distance moduli and their associated statistical errors given redshift values. We compare the performance of the ANN-based reconstruction with two theoretical dark energy models: $Λ$CDM and Chevallier-Linder-Polarski (CPL). Bayesian analysis is conducted for these theoretical models using the LSST simulations and compared with observations from Pantheon and Pantheon+ SNIa real data. We demonstrate that our model-independent ANN reconstruction is consistent with both theoretical models. Performance metrics and statistical tests reveal that the ANN produces distance modulus estimates that align well with the LSST dataset and exhibit only minor discrepancies with $Λ$CDM and CPL.

description: The quantum approximate optimization algorithm (QAOA) is a promising quantum algorithm that can be used to approximately solve combinatorial optimization problems. The usual QAOA ansatz consists of an alternating application of the cost and mixer Hamiltonians. In this work, we study how using Hamiltonians other than the usual cost Hamiltonian, dubbed custom phase operators, can affect the performance of QAOA. We derive an expected value formula for QAOA with custom phase operators at $p = 1$ and show numerically that some of these custom phase operators can achieve higher approximation ratio than the original algorithm implementation. Out of all the graphs tested at $p=1$, 0.036\% of the random custom phase operators, 75.9\% of the subgraph custom phase operators, 95.1\% of the triangle-removed custom phase operators, and 93.9\% of the maximal degree edge-removed custom phase operators have a higher approximation ratio than the original QAOA implementation. Furthermore, we numerically simulate these phase operators for $p=2$ and $p=3$ levels of QAOA and find that there exist a large number of subgraph, triangle-removed, and maximal degree edge-removed custom phase operators that have a higher approximation ratio than QAOA at the same depth. These findings open up the question of whether better phase operators can be designed to further improve the performance of QAOA.

description: 1. Bisphenol AF (BPAF) is used as a crosslinking agent for polymers and is being considered as a replacement for bisphenol A (BPA).2. In this study, comparative clearance and metabolism of BPAF and BPA in hepatocytes and the disposition and metabolism of BPAF in rodents following oral administration of 3.4, 34 or 340 mg/kg [14C]BPAF were investigated.3. BPAF was cleared more slowly than BPA in hepatocytes with the rate: rat > mouse > human.4. [14C]BPAF was excreted primarily in feces by 72 h after oral administration to rats (65–80%) and mice (63–72%). Females excreted more in urine (rat, 15%; mouse, 24%) than males (rat, 1–4%; mouse, 10%). Residual tissue radioactivity was <2% of the dose at 72 h. Similar results were observed following intravenous administration.5. In male rats, 52% of a 340 mg/kg oral dose was excreted in 24 h bile and was mostly comprised of BPAF glucuronide. However, >94% of fecal radioactivity was present as BPAF, suggesting extensive deconjugation in the intestine.6. Metabolites identified in bile were BPAF-glucuronide, -diglucuronide, -glucuronide sulfate and -sulfate.7. In conclusion, BPAF was well absorbed following gavage administration and highly metabolized and excreted mostly in the feces as BPAF.

description: A series of mononuclear five-coordinate cobalt(II) complexes, [Co(dbdmp)(X)]Y, where dbdmp = N,N-diethyl-N′,N′-bis((3,5-dimethyl-1H-pyrazol-1-yl)methyl)ethane-1,2-diamine, X = /NCO−/NCS− and Y = //, have been synthesized and characterized by microanalyses and spectroscopic techniques. Crystal structures of [Co(N3)(dbdmp)]PF6 (1), [Co(N3)(dbdmp)]ClO4 (3), [Co(NCO)(dbdmp)]PF6 (4), [Co(NCO)(dbdmp)]ClO4 (6), and [Co(NCS)(dbdmp)]ClO4 (9) have been solved by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies and showed that all the complexes have distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry; counter anion containing complexes [Co(N3)(dbdmp)]PF6 and [Co(NCO)(dbdmp)]PF6 have chiral space groups. The binding ability of synthesized complexes with CT-DNA and bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been studied by spectroscopic methods and viscosity measurements. The experimental results of absorption titration of cobalt(II) complexes with CT-DNA indicate that the complexes have ability to form adducts and they can stabilize the DNA helix. The cobalt(II) complexes exhibit good binding propensity to BSA protein.

Understanding the Nexus between Poverty and Homelessness: Relational Poverty Analysis of Families Experiencing Homelessness in Australia
Creators: name: Sharam, Andrea
name: Hulse, Kathleen
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This article aims to improve understanding of the nexus between poverty and homelessness, with a particular focus on families with children. It draws on relational poverty analysis which analyses the processes, structures and social relations which create and sustain poverty. The article is based on a longitudinal and qualitative study of Australian families with children during and after periods of homelessness, which found that the families experienced not only a lack of material resources but also the social and other processes that impoverish, exclude and disempower, including exposure to violence, lack of family and institutional support, and pressure to relinquish children. The participants had a strong social identity as families and actively resisted the marginalization and individuation processes they encountered. The article argues that conceptualizing homelessness as a process of 'destitution' can provide a theoretical basis for understanding the relationship between poverty and homelessness which to date remains remarkably unexplored.
