description: Hot water injection is a production technique proposed to gas recovery from methane hydrate reservoirs. However, from a practical point of view, the injected water experiences a drop in temperature and re-formation of hydrates may occur in the reservoir. In this work, we proposed a model expressing permeability hysteresis in the processes between hydrate growth and dissociation, and studied hydrate dissociation behavior during hot water injection. The model of permeability hysteresis was incorporated into the simulator MH21-HYDRES (MH21 Hydrate Reservoir Simulator), where the decrease in permeability with hydrate saturation during hydrate growth process was assumed to be much larger than the decrease during hydrate dissociation process. Laboratory hydrate dissociation experiments were carried out for comparison. In each experiment, we injected hot water at a constant rate into a sand-packed core bearing hydrates, and the histories of injection pressure, core temperature, and gas/water production rates were measured. Numerical simulations for the core experiments showed the re-formation of hydrates led to the increase in injection pressure during hot water injection. The simulated tendencies of pressure increase varied markedly by considering permeability hysteresis. Since the experimental pressure increases could not be reproduced without the permeability hysteresis model, the influence of permeability hysteresis should be considered to apply hot water injection to hydrate reservoirs.

description: We show that any 3-dimensional homotopy lens space M^3 that is simple-homotopy equivalent to a lens space L(p,q) is topologically s-cobordant to the lens space. It follows that M has the same multi-signature as L(p,q) and the action of π_1(M) on the universal cover of M embeds in an orthogonal action on S^7.

description: This article questions the partnership as a « working together » possible method, for a teacher and a special needs assistant, in the case of supporting a disabled student during a science teaching sequence in grades 3 and 4 (aged 8-10 years old). In order to answer this question, a model has been designed according to partnership principles and cognitive and didactical support aspects and then it has been put on probation with existing practices. The results highlight the facts that such support falls under arrangements of cognitive and didactical aspects according to the actor’s status. These results also point out the difficulties for the teacher and the special need assistant to guide the same student pupil and respond to his special needs in a partnership way.

Estimation and Testing Methods for Monotone Transformation Models
Creators: Zhang, Junyi
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Statistics
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: This thesis deals with a general class of transformation models that contains many important semiparametric regression models as special cases. It develops a self-induced smoothing method for estimating the regression coefficients of these models, resulting in simultaneous point and variance estimations. The self-induced smoothing does not require bandwidth selection, yet provides the right amount of smoothness so that the estimator is asymptotically normal with mean zero (unbiased) and variance-covariance matrix consistently estimated by the usual sandwich-type estimator. An iterative algorithm is given for the variance estimation and shown to numerically converge to a consistent limiting variance estimator. The self-induced smoothing method is also applied to selecting the non-zero regression coefficients for the monotone transformation models. The resulting regularized estimator is shown to be root-n-consistent and achieve desirable sparsity and asymptotic normality under certain regularity conditions. The smoothing technique is used to estimate the monotone transformation function as well. The smoothed rank-based estimate of the transformation function is uniformly consistent and converges weakly to a Gaussian process which is the same as the limiting process for that without smoothing. An explicit covariance function estimate is obtained by using the smoothing technique, and shown to be consistent. The estimation of the transformation function reduces the multiple hypotheses testing problems for the monotone transformation models to those for linear models. A new hypotheses testing procedure is proposed in this thesis for linear models and shown to be more powerful than some widely-used testing methods when there is a strong collinearity in data. It is proved that the new testing procedure controls the family-wise error rate.

description: Several studies are on-going at CERN in the framework of the Physics Beyond Collider study group, with main aim of broadening the physics research spectrum using the available accelerator complex and infrastructure. The possibility to design a layout that allows fixed-target experiments in the primary vacuum of the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC), without the need of a dedicated extraction line, is included among these studies. The principle of the layouts presented in this paper is to deflect beam halo protons on a fixed-target placed in the LHC primary vacuum, by means of bent crystals (i.e. crystal channeling). Moreover, interaction products emerging from the target can be used to perform electromagnetic dipole moments measurements of short-living baryons. Two possible layouts are reported, together with a thorough evaluation on their expected performance and impact on LHC operations.

Deep Residual Autoencoders for Expectation Maximization-inspired Dictionary Learning

description: We introduce a neural-network architecture, termed the constrained recurrent sparse autoencoder (CRsAE), that solves convolutional dictionary learning problems, thus establishing a link between dictionary learning and neural networks. Specifically, we leverage the interpretation of the alternating-minimization algorithm for dictionary learning as an approximate Expectation-Maximization algorithm to develop autoencoders that enable the simultaneous training of the dictionary and regularization parameter (ReLU bias). The forward pass of the encoder approximates the sufficient statistics of the E-step as the solution to a sparse coding problem, using an iterative proximal gradient algorithm called FISTA. The encoder can be interpreted either as a recurrent neural network or as a deep residual network, with two-sided ReLU non-linearities in both cases. The M-step is implemented via a two-stage back-propagation. The first stage relies on a linear decoder applied to the encoder and a norm-squared loss. It parallels the dictionary update step in dictionary learning. The second stage updates the regularization parameter by applying a loss function to the encoder that includes a prior on the parameter motivated by Bayesian statistics. We demonstrate in an image-denoising task that CRsAE learns Gabor-like filters, and that the EM-inspired approach for learning biases is superior to the conventional approach. In an application to recordings of electrical activity from the brain, we demonstrate that CRsAE learns realistic spike templates and speeds up the process of identifying spike times by 900x compared to algorithms based on convex optimization.

description: The concept of disenchantment, referring to the trend of depriving, through the flow of scientific knowledge, the world of meaning, was linked in Max Weber's oeuvre « Science as a Vocation » to education and teaching. The present article examines this concept and compares it with Piaget's concept of meaning attribution, that characterizes both the spontaneous psychological development of the child and the interactive activities of teaching. Furthermore, the article discusses how enchantment, with its wider dictionary significance, relates to education.

description: Direct real photons are arguably the most versatile tools to study relativistic heavy ion collisions. They are produced, by various mechanisms, during the entire space-time history of the strongly interacting system. Also, being colorless, most the time they escape without further interaction, ie they are penetrating probes. This makes them rich in information, but hard to decypher and interpret. This review presents the experimental and theoretical developments related to direct real photons since the 1970s, with a special emphasis on the recently emerged "direct photon puzzle", the simultaneous presence of large yields and strong azimuthal asymmetries of photons in heavy ion collisions, an observation that so far eluded full and coherent explanation.

Estimation of Q-matrix for DINA Model Using the Constrained Generalized DINA Framework

Subjects: subject: Psychometrics

description: The research of cognitive diagnostic models (CDMs) is becoming an important field of psychometrics. Instead of assigning one score, CDMs provide attribute profiles to indicate the mastering status of concepts or skills for the examinees. This would make the test result more informative. The implementation of many CDMs relies on the existing item-to-attribute relationship, which means that we need to know the concepts or skills each item requires. The relationships between the items and attributes could be summarized into the Q-matrix. Misspecification of the Q-matrix will lead to incorrect attribute profile. The Q-matrix can be designed by expert judgement, but it is possible that such practice can be subjective. There are previous researches about the Q-matrix estimation. This study proposes an estimation method for one of the most parsimonious CDMs, the DINA model. The method estimates the Q-matrix for DINA model by setting constraints on the generalized DINA model. In the simulation study, the results showed that the estimated Q-matrix fit better the empirical fraction subtraction data than the expert-design Q-matrix. We also show that the proposed method may still be applicable when the constraints were relaxed.

A new skew centrosymmetric matrix is also discussed. The application of the properties of centrosymmetric and skew centrosymmetric matrix can reduce the computational effort of the DQM for calculations of the inverse, determinant, eigenvectors and eigenvalues by 75%. This computational advantage are also demonstrated via several numerical examples.

description: The reliability of the main cable of a suspension bridge is crucial to the reliability of the entire bridge. Throughout the life of a suspension bridge, its main cables are subject to corrosion due to various factors, and the deterioration of strength is a slowly evolving and dynamic process.  The goal of this research is to find the pattern of how the strength of steel wires inside a suspension bridge cable changes with time.  Two methodologies are proposed based on the analysis of five data sets which were collected by testing pristine wires, artificially corroded wires, and wires taken from three suspension bridges: Severn Bridge, Forth Road Bridge and Williamsburg Bridge.
      The first methodology is to model wire strength as a random process in space whose marginal probability distribution and power spectral density evolve with time. Both the marginal distribution and the power spectral density are parameterized with time-dependent parameters.  This enables the use of Monte Carlo methods to estimate the failure probability of wires at any given time.  An often encountered problem -- the incompatibility between the non-Gaussian marginal probability distribution and prescribed power spectral density -- which arises when simulating non-Gaussian random processes using translational field theory, is also studied. It is shown by copula theory that the selected marginal distribution imposes restrictions on the selection of power spectral density function.
      The second methodology is to model the deterioration rate of wire strength as a stochastic process in time, under Ito's stochastic calculus framework. The deterioration rate process is identified as a mean-reversion stochastic process taking non-negative values. It is proposed that the actual deterioration of wire strength depends on the deterioration rate, and may also depend on the state of the wire strength itself. The probability distribution of wire strength at any given time can be obtained by integrating the deterioration rate process.  The model parameters are calibrated from the available data sets by matching moments or minimizing differences between probability distributions.

In addition, the last two sections generalize some standard results on closed subvarieties of semiabelian varieties to the context of closed subvarieties minus divisors.

Dennoch gibt es auf der Welt mehrere Millionen Menschen, welche taub oder hörgeschädigt sind[WHO]. Damit sich Hörgeschädigte dennoch verständigen können, wird ein anderer Kommunikationskanal verwendet. Anstatt der gesprochenen Sprache verwendet man mithilfe der Zeichensprache den visuellen Kommunikationskanal. Für die Erleichterung der Kommunikation mit Gehörlosen benötigt man zunächst eine Möglichkeit, Handzeichen erkennen zu können, damit diese im Folgenden übersetzt werden können. Die Erkennung dieser Handzeichen lässt sich durch die Bilderkennung gut lösen.

description: Deep learning based single image super-resolution methods use a large number of training datasets and have recently achieved great quality progress both quantitatively and qualitatively. Most deep networks focus on nonlinear mapping from low-resolution inputs to high-resolution outputs via residual learning without exploring the feature abstraction and analysis. We propose a Hierarchical Back Projection Network (HBPN), that cascades multiple HourGlass (HG) modules to bottom-up and top-down process features across all scales to capture various spatial correlations and then consolidates the best representation for reconstruction. We adopt the back projection blocks in our proposed network to provide the error correlated up and down-sampling process to replace simple deconvolution and pooling process for better estimation. A new Softmax based Weighted Reconstruction (WR) process is used to combine the outputs of HG modules to further improve super-resolution. Experimental results on various datasets (including the validation dataset, NTIRE2019, of the Real Image Super-resolution Challenge) show that our proposed approach can achieve and improve the performance of the state-of-the-art methods for different scaling factors.

Their studies showed that the methods were conceptually simple and computationally efficient in comparison to other numerical techniques. Based on some recent work by the present author [3, 4], the purpose of this note is to further simplify the formulation effort and improve computing efficiency in applying the DQ and HDQ methods for these cases.

Perelman entropy functionals and geometric flows evolution equations of classical mechanical systems are described. There are studied projections of such F- and W-functionals on Lorentz spacetime manifolds and three-dimensional spacelike hypersurfaces. These functionals are used for elaborating relativistic thermodynamic models for Lagrange--Hamilton geometric evolution and respective generalized R. Hamilton geometric flow and nonholonomic Ricci flow equations. The concept of nonholonomic W-entropy is developed as a complementary one for the classical Shannon entropy and the quantum von Neumann entropy. There are considered geometric flow generalizations of the approaches based on classical and quantum relative entropy, conditional entropy, mutual information, and related thermodynamic models. Such basic ingredients and topics of quantum geometric flow information theory are elaborated using the formalism of density matrices and measurements with quantum channels for the evolution of quantum mechanical systems.

Subjects: Digital educational scenarios, AESOP, mechanical engineering, constructivism

description: This paper aims at reporting on the program of digital educational scenarios which was realized in Greece in 2015 and to search the impact of constructivism in digital scenarios of the mechanical engineering sector of vocational education. Texts and electronic productions that have been prepared by the IEP (Institute of Educational Policy) are taken into account and all the scenarios constructed in the framework of the electronic platform AESOP (Advanced Electronic Scenarios Operating Platform) are analyzed. A frame of criteria concerning constructivist teaching has been put in place and used for the analysis. The principal results indicate that a number of interesting interactive instruments have been used in the scenarios but the constructivist point of view is relatively absent.

description: We address several questions of Donald Monk related to irredundance and spread of Boolean algebras, gaining both some ZFC knowledge and consistency results. We show in ZFC that irr(B_0 times B_1)= max(irr(B_0),irr(B_1)). We prove consistency of the statement ``there is a Boolean algebra B such that irr(B)Aut(B_1). Finally we show that consistently there is a Boolean algebra B of size lambda such that there is no free sequence in B of length lambda, there is an ultrafilter of tightness lambda (so t(B)=lambda) and lambda notin Depth_(Hs)(B).

description: The purpose of this paper is to present some characteristic elements of a study conducted in Tunisia. The study was conducted to better understand the acquisition process of competencies in the design and representations of technological solutions in mechanical engineering. The teaching of mechanical design relies heavily on manipulating 3D objects. Nonetheless, the represented objects or mechanisms are just presentation or demonstration tools. They are used in new approaches to learning situations based on problem solving to seek possible solutions but their use to retain the most suited solutions to the specifications remains limited. The use of 3D modelling software to represent 3D objects gives learners the ability to conceive a range of new solutions. Creativity and the number of solutions to a problem in mechanical engineering depend heavily on the exploitation of a 3D modelling software that changes the use of a simple tool into an instrument that makes the learner autonomous and able to evaluate his own production. Teaching can lead to employment, dignity and trust only when there is a synergy between school and industry. Therefore, all the stakeholders have to adhere to ensure success, which is for the benefit of everyone.

description: Civan and Sliepcevich [1, 2] suggested that special matrix solver should be developed to further reduce the computing effort in applying the differential quadrature (DQ) method for the Poisson and convection-diffusion equations. Therefore, the purpose of the present communication is to introduce and apply the Lyapunov formulation which can be solved much more efficiently than the Gaussian elimination method. Civan and Sliepcevich [2] first presented DQ approximate formulas in polynomial form for partial derivatives in tow-dimensional variable domain. For simplifying formulation effort, Chen et al. [3] proposed the compact matrix form of these DQ approximate formulas. In this study, by using these matrix approximate formulas, the DQ formulations for the Poisson and convection-diffusion equations can be expressed as the Lyapunov algebraic matrix equation. The formulation effort is simplified, and a simple and explicit matrix formulation is obtained. A variety of fast algorithms in the solution of the Lyapunov equation [4-6] can be successfully applied in the DQ analysis of these two-dimensional problems, and, thus, the computing effort can be greatly reduced. Finally, we also point out that the present reduction technique can be easily extended to the three-dimensional cases.

description: Depressurization is thought to be a promising method for gas recovery from methane hydrate reservoirs, but considerable water production is expected when this method is applied to the hydrate reservoir of high initial water saturation. In this case, the prediction of water production is a critical problem. This study examined relative permeability curves during hydrate dissociation by comparing numerical simulations with laboratory experiments. Data of gas and water volumes produced during depressurization were taken from gas recovery experiments using sand-packed cores containing methane hydrates. In each experiment, hydrates were dissociated by depressurization at a constant pressure. The surrounding temperature was held constant during dissociation. The volumes of gas and water produced, the temperatures inside of the core, and the pressures at the both ends of the core were measured continuously. The experimental results were compared with numerical simulations by using the simulator MH21-HYDRES (MH21 Hydrate Reservoir Simulator). The experimental results showed that considerable volume of water was produced during hydrate dissociation, and the simulator could not reproduce the large water production when we used typical relative permeability curves such as the Corey model. To obtain good matching for the volumes of gas and water produced during hydrate dissociation, the shape of relative permeability curves was modified to express the rapid decrease in gas permeability with increasing water saturation. This result suggests that the connate water can be easily displaced by hydrate-dissociated gas and move forward in the hydrate reservoir of high initial water saturation.

description: The movements for reform require a pedagogical approach which favour the contextualization of skills and the development of competences which could potentially be used in various contexts. This article presents some of the results of the questionnaires administered to three technical streams of study. It has a double objective : the replies, treated separately, would attempt to reveal the tendency of the resulting scores compared to the contributions of the Situational Pedagogical Model. These results compared to the content of the open question, would then determine and control to what extent these perceptions strengthen, complement or contradict each other.
