description: Spectral unmixing is an important task in hyperspectral image processing for separating the mixed spectral data pertaining to various materials observed individual pixels. Recently, nonlinear spectral unmixing has received particular attention because a linear mixture is not appropriate under many conditions. However, existing nonlinear unmixing approaches are often based on specific assumptions regarding the inherent nonlinearity, and they can be ineffective when applied to conditions deviating from the original assumptions. Therefore, these approaches are not well suited to scenes with unknown nonlinearity characteristics. This paper presents an unsupervised nonlinear spectral unmixing method based on a deep autoencoder network that applies to a generalized linear-mixture/nonlinear fluctuation model, consisting of a linear mixture component and an additive nonlinear mixture component that depends on both endmembers and abundances. The proposed approach benefits from the universal modeling ability of deep neural networks to learn the inherent nonlinearity of the nonlinear mixture component from the data itself via the autoencoder network, rather than relying on an assumed form. Extensive experiments with numerically synthetic, labeled laboratory-created data and real airborne data, illustrate the generality and effectiveness of this approach compared with state-of-the-art methods.

description: Two dynamical models that have been proposed to describe transitions between low and high confinement states (L-H transitions) in confined plasmas are analysed using singularity theory and stability theory. It is shown that the stationary-state bifurcation sets have qualitative properties identical to standard normal forms for the pitchfork and transcritical bifurcations. The analysis yields the codimension of the highest-order singularities, from which we find that the unperturbed systems are overdetermined bifurcation problems and derive appropriate universal unfoldings. Questions of mutual equivalence and the character of the state transitions are addressed.

description: We develop some basic homological theory of hopfological algebra as defined by Khovanov.

description: We introduce several classes of localizations (idempotent monads) on the category of groups and study their properties and relations. The most interesting class for us is the class of localizations which coincide with their zero derived functors. We call them right exact (in the sense of Keune). We prove that a right exact localization $L$ preserves the class of nilpotent groups and that for a finite $p$-group $G$ the map $G\to LG$ is an epimorphism. We also prove that some examples of localizations (Baumslag's $P$-localization with respect to a set of primes $P,$ Bousfield's $HR$-localization, Levine's localization, Levine-Cha's $\mathbb Z$-localization) are right exact. At the end of the paper we discuss a conjecture of Farjoun about Nikolov-Segal maps and prove a very special case of this conjecture.

description: Let G a group of germs of analytic diffeomorphisms in (C^2,0). We find some remarkable properties supposing that G is finite, linearizable, abelian nilpotent and solvable. In particular, if the group is abelian and has a generic dicritic diffeomorphisms, then the group is a subgroup of a 1-parametric group. In addition, we study the topological behaviour of the orbits of a dicritic diffeomorphisms. Last, we find some invariants in order to know when two diffeomorphisms are formally conjugates.

description: A source of unpredictability is equivalent to a source of information: unpredictability means not knowing which of a set of alternatives is the actual one; determining the actual alternative yields information. The degree of unpredictability is neatly quantified by the information measure introduced by Shannon. This perspective is applied to three kinds of unpredictability in physics: the absolute unpredictability of quantum mechanics, the unpredictability of the coarse-grained future due to classical chaos, and the unpredictability of open systems. The incompatibility of the first two of these is the root of the difficulty in defining quantum chaos, whereas the unpredictability of open systems, it is suggested, can provide a unified characterization of chaos in classical and quantum dynamics.

description: We derive magnetic black hole solutions using a general gauge potential in the framework of teleparallel equivalent general relativity. One of the solutions gives a non-trivial value of the scalar torsion. This non-triviality of the torsion scalar depends on some values of the magnetic field. The metric of those solutions behave asymptotically as Anti-de-Sitter/ de-Sitter (AdS/dS) spacetimes. The energy conditions are discussed in details. Also, we calculate the torsion and curvature invariants to discuss singularities. Additionally, we calculate the conserved quantities using the Einstein-Cartan geometry to understand the physics of the constants appearing into the solutions.

title: Risk factors associated with the transmission of Andean cutaneous leishmaniasis.
Creators: name: Llanos Cuentas, EA
Publisher: name: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
Year: 1994

description: This is a population-based case-control study of the risk factors associated with the transmission of Andean cutaneous leishmaniasis (uta) with a concurrent design comparing persons who developed uta against persons who did not. Cases and controls were matched by age. sex and place of residence. The unit of analysis was the person . The main exposure groups were: characteristics of the house, environmental characteristics around the house, and behaviour patterns of people. The study was carried out in five endemic regions of Peru. 187 cases and 335 controls were admitted to the study. Using matched and conditional logistic regression, in study areas of Lima & Ancash (region 1) and Piura (region 2) Departments we have identified risk factors which imply that transmission occurs (a) inside houses, (b) outside but close to houses, (c) around houses, but not clearly indoors or outdoors, and (d) away from houses. In region 1 we found three risk factors of type a, using a kerosene lamp (OR=6.6. c.i.:2.2-19.7), having a chimney (OR=4.9, c.i.: 1.9-12.5) and living in a stone house (OR=2.9, c.i.:1.6-5.2), one of type b, cutting wood (OR=7.4, c.i.:2.1-26.4), and three of type c. living in a house > 30 m from road (OR=3.9, c.i.: 1.4-10.7), with a vegetable garden (OR=2.8, c.i.: 1.1-4.1) and living in a house having > 6 persons (OR=4.2, c.i.:l.9-9.7). In region 2, we found four risk factors of type c, living in a house having an earth floor (OR=2.3. c.i.: 1.1-4.7), with cows (OR=1.3, c.i.: 1.1-1.6) and a neighbouring vegetable garden nearby (OR=2.9, c.i.:1.3-6.9), and living > 30 m from a river (OR=3.3, c.i.:3.1-8.4), and one of type d. doing irrigation work at night (OR=2.2, c.i.:1.2-4.2). The variability of risk factors between regions 1 and 2 can be explained by differences in (i) the frequency of exposures and (ii) the importance of factors. We conclude from OR's and PAR'S that much transmission occurs around houses. Certainly, some transmission is indoors: the population attributable risk for factors associated with indoor transmission in region 1 was 79%. suggesting the possibility of uta control by preventing biting in houses. It remains questionable how much transmission goes on outdoors.

description: This paper attempts to provide a comprehensive compilation of results, many new here, involving the invariant totally antisymmetric tensors (Omega tensors) which define the Lie algebra cohomology cocycles of $su(n)$, and that play an essential role in the optimal definition of Racah-Casimir operators of $su(n)$. Since the Omega tensors occur naturally within the algebra of totally antisymmetrised products of $λ$-matrices of $su(n)$, relations within this algebra are studied in detail, and then employed to provide a powerful means of deriving important Omega tensor/cocycle identities. The results include formulas for the squares of all the Omega tensors of $su(n)$. Various key derivations are given to illustrate the methods employed.

This allows us to derive new results on the accuracy of their use as effective equations for the time evolution generated by the Fröhlich Hamiltonian with large coupling constant $α$. In particular, we show that the time evolution of Pekar product states with coherent phonon field and the electron being trapped by the phonons is well approximated by the Landau-Pekar equations until times short compared to $α^2$.

description: We study holomorphic blocks in the three dimensional ${\mathcal N}=2$ gauge theory that describes the $\mathbb{CP}^1$ model. We apply exact WKB methods to analyze the line operator identities associated to the holomorphic blocks and derive the analytic continuation formulae of the blocks as the twisted mass and FI parameter are varied. The main technical result we utilize is the connection formula for the ${}_1ϕ_1$ $q$-hypergeometric function. We show in detail how the $q$-Borel resummation methods reproduce the results obtained previously by using block-integral methods.

description: The recent advances in microscopy and scanning techniques enabled the image analysis of archaeological objects in a high resolution. From the direct measurements in images, shapes and related parameters of the structural elements of interest can be derived. In this study, image analysis in 2D/3D is applied to archaeological ceramics, in order to obtain clues about the ceramic pastes, firing and shaping techniques. Images were acquired by the polarized light microscope, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and 3D micro X-ray computed tomography (µ-CT) and segmented using Matlab. 70 ceramic sherds excavated at Ransyrt 1 (Middle-Late Bronze Age) and Kabardinka 2 (late Bronze–early Iron Age), located in in the North Caucasian mountains, Russia, were investigated. The size distribution, circularity and sphericity of sand grains in the ceramics show site specific difference as well as variations within a site. The sphericity, surface area, volume and Euler characteristic of pores show the existence of various pyrometamorphic states between the ceramics and within a ceramic. Using alignments of pores and grains, similar pottery shaping techniques are identified for both sites. These results show that the image analysis of archaeological ceramics can provide detailed information about the prehistoric ceramic production technologies with fast data availability.

Host factors regulating retroviral replication by interactions with viral RNA and DNA

description: Retroviruses are capable of infecting diverse vertebrates, and successful infection requires intimate interaction between virus and the host cell. During an infection, retroviral particles must bind specifically to cell surface receptors on the target cell, cross the plasma membrane, reverse-transcribe their RNA genome into double stranded DNA, find their way to the nucleus, enter the nucleus and integrate its DNA into host chromosomes. Following integration, expression of viral mRNA ensues, followed by viral mRNA export into the cytoplasm, translation of viral mRNA into proteins, and assembly of new virions that will egress from the host cell. We now appreciate that at many steps of this complex process, the virus must hijack the cellular machinery to replicate. At the same time, the host cell mobilizes a variety of cellular defense mechanisms to suppress viral infection. This thesis investigates various aspects of virus-host interactions. I will first describe the involvement of cellular transcriptional repressor protein ErbB3 binding protein 1 (EBP1) in facilitating transcriptional shutdown of Moloney murine leukemia virus (MLV) gene expression in mouse embryonic cells. Next, I describe a novel means of regulating the activity of Yin Yang 1 (YY1), a cellular transcription factor regulating retroviral gene expression, through post-translational modifications. I show that YY1 is a target of tyrosine phosphorylation by Src family kinases. Phosphorylation of YY1 impairs its ability to bind DNA and RNA, thereby downregulating its activity as a transcription factor on retroviral and cellular promoters. Apart from studying retroviral gene expression, I have also investigated intrinsic cellular defenses against retroviral infection. This is exemplified by our finding that mouse cells are intrinsically resistant to infection by betaretroviruses such as Mason-Pfizer monkey virus (M-PMV). The block against M-PMV occurs after reverse transcription and prior to viral nuclear entry. Finally, I will present ongoing work examining the fate of viral DNAs following infection, focusing on the kinetics of its association with cellular core histones and viral structural proteins. Together, this work provides critical insights into numerous aspects of the virus-host interactions.

description: The recent monumental detection of gravitational waves by LIGO, the subsequent detection by the LIGO/VIRGO observatories of a binary neutron star merger seen in the gravitational wave signal $GW170817$,the first photo of the event horizon of the supermassive black hole at the center of the $M87$ galaxy released by the EHT telescope and the ongoing experiments on Relativistic Heavy Ion Collisions at the BNL and at the CERN, demonstrate that we are witnessing the second golden era of observational relativistic gravity. These new observational breakthroughs, although in the long run would influence our views regarding this Kosmos, in the short run, they suggest that relativistic dissipative fluids (or magnetofluids) and relativistic continuous media play an important role on astrophysical-and also subnuclear-scales. This realization brings into the frontiers of current research theories of irreversible thermodynamics of relativistic continuous media. Motivated by these considerations, in this paper, we summarize the progress that has been made in the last few decades in the field of non equilibrium thermodynamics of relativistic continuous media. For coherence and completeness purposes, we begin with a brief description of the balance laws for classical (Newtonian) continuous media and introduce the classical irreversible thermodynamics (CIT) and the role of the local-equilibrium postulate within this theory. Tangentially, we touch the program of rational thermodynamics (RT), the Clausius-Duhem inequality, the theory of constitutive relations and the emergence of the entropy principle and its role in the description of continuous media.

Measured against the principles of sustainable development established earlier by the Round Table, sectorial strategies will be drafted after consultation with the industries concerned and other stakeholders. In the fall of 1991, this draft will be widely distributed for public input and another round of public consultations will be undertaken. It is expected that the Round Table's recommendations for a strategy for sustainable development will be submitted to the Government of British Columbia in the spring of 1992. The Round Table is an advisory body, not another level of government. It cannot make laws or change them. It reports to the government through the Ministers of Environment and of Regional and Economic Development and through them, to Cabinet. The mining industry has been an active participant in the workshops and public consultations. Its primary concerns have been to maintain access to exploration and opportunities to develop the rare occurrences of mineral deposits which can be economically extracted. New mining projects must submit to a rigorous development permit process, with public input, and which includes assurances of adequate eventual reclamation after the temporary use of the land. The mining industry is required to undertake - and has pioneered - intensive reclamation of disturbed lands, re-establishing the level of land productivity not less than what existed prior to mining on an average property basis.
Horror Theatre: Investing in the Aesthetics of Horror as a Theatrical Genre
Creators: Richardson, Jolene Noelle
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2015
Subjects: Theater

description: Why is horror so absent from the American stage? How can contemporary theatre makers go about creating a respectable and vibrant horror theatre? What, if anything, is to be gained by doing so? Here, I will be arguing for an artistic investment in the aesthetics of a contemporary horror theatre. To do so, I will examine how horror has been successfully staged in the past and will pull from the vast critical discourse on contemporary horror film to investigate what the theatre may be missing out on by ignoring this popular form; by committing to the ethics and aesthetics of horror the theatre community has an opportunity to widen its audience base, to create new fans of live performance, and to examine the human condition from new and thrilling angles.

description: The theory of the ultrasound propagation in the mixed state of type-II superconductors is suggested which takes into account the Magnus force on vortices, the anti-Magnus force on ions, and diamagnetism of the mixed state. The acoustic Faraday effect (rotation of polarization of the transverse ultrasonic wave propagating along vortices) is shown to be linear in the Magnus force in any regime of the flux flow for wavelengths used in the ultrasound experiments now. Therefore, in contrast to previous predictions, the Faraday effect should be looked for only in clean superconductors with a large amplitude of the Magnus force.

description: We study a three-terminal setup consisting of a single-level quantum dot capacitively coupled to a quantum point contact. The point contact connects to a source and drain reservoirs while the quantum dot is coupled to a single base reservoir. This setup has been used to implement a noninvasive, nanoscale thermometer for the bath reservoir by detecting the current in the quantum point contact. Here, we demonstrate that the device can also be operated as a thermal transistor where the average (charge and heat) current through the quantum point contact is controlled via the temperature of the base reservoir. We characterize the performances of this device both as a transistor and a thermometer, and derive the operating condition maximizing their respective sensitivities. The present analysis is useful for the control of charge and heat flow and high precision thermometry at the nanoscale.

Household Air Pollution Exposures and Respiratory Health Among Women in Rural Ghana

Indoor air pollution--Health aspects

description: Approximately 3 billion people in developing countries rely on solid fuels for their cooking, heating and lighting needs (Smith 2000).  Household air pollution (HAP) from the incomplete combustion of these fuels constitutes the fourth leading risk factor for death and morbidity worldwide, and the number one risk factor for disease burden in some developing nations, including Ghana (Lim et al. 2013; Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation 2016).  While research shows biomass fuel combustion presents a significant global health and environmental burden, no regional, national or global policies have been enacted to reduce fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and black carbon (BC) emissions from cooking with biomass fuels.  More data on personal exposures to particulate matter and BC from cooking with biomass are needed across geographic areas to assess whether exposure is mediated by (cultural) cooking customs, practices and behaviors.  These data are critical in informing improved cookstove design as well as policies aimed at reducing harmful emissions and exposures from biomass smoke.  The overall objective of this proposal is to examine personal exposures to cooking and non-cooking sources of HAP, characterize the elemental composition of the fine particulate matter across two common biomass fuels (charcoal and wood), and assess acute respiratory symptoms in pregnant women cooking with biomass fuels in rural Ghana.  Through aerosol monitoring of PM2.5, our goal is to identify and apportion sources of personal exposures borne by cooks in rural Ghana, in order to inform mitigation policies and intervention design to alleviate health burden associated with cooking with biomass fuels.  Specifically, in Aim 1 we propose to measure personal exposures and kitchen air concentrations of PM2.5 and BC across cooking locations, (i.e. enclosed, semi-enclosed, outdoor) and assess cooking characteristics (e.g. fuel, kitchen type, ethnicity) as possible determinants of exposure.  In Aim 2, we will characterize the elemental composition of personal and kitchen air samples across fuel and kitchen types.  These two aims will allow us to assess cooking and non-cooking sources of personal HAP exposure based on air monitoring data, composition of the filters, and survey-based cooking characteristics/demographics.  In Aim 3, we propose to characterize the prevalence of adult respiratory symptoms in 1183 pregnant women in the region, and assess associations between personal exposure, measured by personal carbon monoxide (CO), and other cooking and non-cooking determinants of personal exposure, including fuel type, years cooked, kerosene lamp, mosquito coils, and charcoal production.

Hot Stocks and Cold Comfort: A Comparative Study of Optimism in Financial News and Household Participation in Equity Markets in the U.S., France, and Hong Kong, 1985-2008
Creators: Guite, Sophie
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2011
Subjects: Communication

description: I use computer-assisted textual content analysis to detect systematic reporting bias in financial news articles from 1985-2008 in the U.S., France, and Hong Kong in order to discern whether such biases contribute to country-level differences in household participation in equity markets.  Today about 50% of American households hold stock (or equity) directly or indirectly in publicly traded corporations, while only 24% of French households and 36% Hong Kong adults do so.  Publications analyzed include: in the U.S. the Wall Street Journal and the business section of The New York Times; in France Le Monde, Le Figaro, and Les Echos; and in Hong Kong the Standard and the South China Morning Post. The content analysis revealed consistent, country-level differences in how newspapers report financial news.  These differences corresponded not with the overall level, but with the rate of growth in household equity market participation from one country to the next.  In Hong Kong, where household equity market participation grew 171% from 1992-2004, financial news sources followed consistent patterns that, taken together, could be described as pro-business. In contrast in France, where ownership grew by just 2.5% over the same time period, news sources were the least pro-business.  In the U.S., where ownership grew 37% from 1992-2004, news sources fell somewhere in the middle in terms of pro-business language.  By "pro-business, "I mean that Hong Kong newspapers used the most positive, the fewest negative, the most investment-related, and the fewest scandal words, while French publications used the fewest positive, the most negative, the fewest investment-related, and the most scandal-oriented words.  While word use fluctuated with time, and with equity markets, country-level differences withstood these changes.  Country-level differences also withstood left-right bias within countries.  In other words, a left-leaning French publication looked much more like a right-leaning French publication than it looked like a left-leaning U.S. publication. Positive story bias does not, on its own, fully explain the extremely high level of American household stock ownership, but may help to explain the faster growth in stock ownership among Hong Kong citizens compared with those in the U.S., and the relatively slower growth of equity ownership in France from 1992-2004.

Power and the Global Governance of Plant Genetic Resources
Creators: name: Sutherland, Johanna
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2000
Subjects: power, global governance, united nations, treaties, plant genetic resources, Convention on Biological Diversity, World Trade Organisation, human rights, Foucault, discourses, realism, neo-realism, learning

description: This thesis explores the location and nature of the power that is deepening and broadening the revolution in modern biotechnologies, and which is inherent in the global governance of one type of genetic resource — plant genetic resources. Plant genetic resources are of increasing importance within the global political economy and ecology because of the power/knowledge networks contributing to, and responding to developments in the biotechnology sector, and concerned with the rampant erosion of biological diversity. The thesis argues that transnational norms, values and knowledge are important aspects of power. Discursive power, and particularly the power inherent in discourses of sustainable development, security and human rights, are a central focus of the thesis. The thesis challenges realist, neo-realist and other structural analyses of power which focus on relative distributions of power at the level of individual states or at the global level.

HOLOTYPE: Ƌ, Tarragona, Leyte I. Philippine Islds VIII: II: 1945 / Col. & pres. by C. L. Remington /in rotting burned log (FMNH).
ADDITIONAL MATERIAL: 1 Ƌ (lacking head and prothorax), with the same data as the holotype (MHNG).
DESCRIPTION: Length 1.60 mm, width 0.98 mm, dorsoventral diameter 0.93 mm. Body and head uniformly reddish-brown to piceous, femora, tibiae and basal abdominal segments hardly lighter, apical abdominal segments, antennae and tibiae distinctly lighter, almost yellowish. Length ratio of antennomeres as: III 10: IV 14: V 16: VI 15: VII 18: VIII 18: IX 15: X 18: XI 22. Segments III to VIII very narrow, segments VII and VIII similar, only slightly wider than segment III to VI, segments IX to XI much wider. Pronotal and elytral punctation very fine, visible at 50x magnification. Lateral parts of metaventrite and abdomen impunctate. Elytra each with fine basal stria joined to sutural and lateral striae; adsutural areas flat. Center of metaventrite almost flat, with few distinct punctures. Mesocoxal areas 0.07 mm long, shortest interval to metacoxae about 0.10 mm. Metepisterna flat, parallel-sided, about 0.08 mm wide. Abdomen impunctate, with punctulate microsculpture, metacoxal lines impunctate.
Male. Segments 1-3 of protarsi slightly widened. Aedeagus (Figs 52-55) 0.72 mm long.
HABITAT: Rotting burned log.
DISTRIBUTION: Philippines: Leyte.
 COMMENTS: This new species resembles X. uniforme Löbl, 1992 by its comparatively large size and by the color of the body, in combination with the elytra having complete and joined basal and sutural striae. Xotidium mauritianum (Vinson, 1943) is almost as large and has also unicolored body, but differs drastically from its congeners by the shortened sutural striae and the absence of basal striae (see VINSON, 1943). Xotidium tubuliferum may be distinguished easily by its aedeagus lacking sclerotized flagellum, and by the long widened apical section of the parameres.
Both available males have completely extruded internal sac of the aedeagus. It consists of a simple tube narrowed in middle, longer than the entire median lobe. Very fine, spine-like structures are present in its basal part.
