description: This paper presents an analysis of rearward gap acceptance characteristics of drivers of large trucks in highway lane change scenarios. The range between the vehicles was inferred from camera images using the estimated lane width obtained from the lane tracking camera as the reference. Six-hundred lane change events were acquired from a large-scale naturalistic driving data set. The kinematic variables from the image-based gap analysis were filtered by the weighted linear least squares in order to extrapolate them at the lane change time. In addition, the time-to-collision and required deceleration were computed, and potential safety threshold values are provided. The resulting range and range rate distributions showed directional discrepancies, i.e., in left lane changes, large trucks are often slower than other vehicles in the target lane, whereas they are usually faster in right lane changes. Video observations have confirmed that major motivations for changing lanes are different depending on the direction of move, i.e., moving to the left (faster) lane occurs due to a slower vehicle ahead or a merging vehicle on the right-hand side, whereas right lane changes are frequently made to return to the original lane after passing.

description: We study the semileptonic branching fraction of $B$-meson into higher resonance of charmed meson $D^{**}$ by using the Bjorken sum rule and the heavy quark effective theory(HQET). This sum rule and the current experiment of $B$-meson semileptonic decay into $D$ and $D^*$ predict that the branching ratio into $D^{**}lν_l$ is about 1.7\%. This predicted value is larger than the value obtained by the various theoretical hadron models based on the HQET.

Near-infrared and optical broadband surface photometry of 86 face-on disk dominated galaxies. III. The statistics of disk and bulge parameters

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The statistics of the fundamental bulge and disk parameters of galaxies and their relation to the Hubble sequence were investigated by an analysis of optical and near-infrared observations of 86 face-on spiral galaxies. The availability of near-infrared K-passband data made it possible for the first time to trace fundamental parameters related to the luminous mass while hardly being hampered by the effects of dust and stellar populations. The observed number frequency of galaxies was corrected for selection effects to calculate volume number densities of galaxies with respect to their fundamental parameters. The main conclusions of this investigation are: 1) Freeman's law has to be redefined. There is no single preferred value for the central surface brightnesses of disks in galaxies. There is only an upper limit to the central surface brightnesses of disks, while for lower central surface brightnesses the number of galaxies per volume element decreases only slowly as function of the central surface brightness. 2) The Hubble sequence type index correlates strongly with the effective surface brightness of the bulge, much better than with the bulge-to-disk ratio. 3) The disk and bulge scalelengths are correlated. 4) These scalelengths are not correlated with Hubble type. Hubble type is a lengthscale-free parameter and each type therefore comes in a range of magnitudes (and presumably a range of total masses). 5) Low surface brightness spiral galaxies are not a separate class of galaxies. In a number of aspects they are a continuation of a trend defined by the high surface brightness galaxies. Low surface brightness galaxies are in general of late Hubble type.

description: The $η\to π^+ π^- π^0 γ$ decay is discussed in the general context of Chiral Perturbation Theory (ChPT), assuming that the low--energy constants (counter--terms) are saturated by vector-meson resonances. The $η\to π^+ π^- π^0 γ$ amplitude can be separated in two distinct pieces: the inner bremsstrahlung, $A^{(IB)}$, and the structure dependent (or direct emission), $A^{(SD)}$, amplitudes. The former -- which essentially contains the same physics as $A(η\to π^+ π^- π^0)$ -- is found to dominate over the second one -- which looks more interesting from the ChPT point of view.

description: An assessment of the data processing and analysis methods used to obtain the second- and fourth-rank orientational order parameters of liquid crystals from X-ray scattering experiments has been carried out, using experimental data from four extensively studied alkyl-cyanobiphenyls and calculated data generated from two general types of theoretical orientational distribution function. The application of a background subtraction and two different baseline correction methods to the scattering profiles is assessed, along with three different methods to analyse the processed data. The choice of baseline correction method is shown to have a significant effect: an offset to zero overestimates the order parameters from the experimental and calculated data sets, particularly for lower order parameters arising from broad distributions, whereas an offset to a value estimated from regions of low scattering intensity provides experimental values close to those reported from other experimental techniques. By contrast, the three different analysis methods are shown generally to result in relatively small absolute differences between the order parameters. We outline a straightforward general approach to experimental X-ray scattering data processing and analysis for uniaxial phases that results in order parameters that match well with those reported using other experimental techniques.

description: In this paper, we present a new leader-follower type solution to the formation maneuvering problem for multiple, nonholonomic wheeled mobile robots. The solution is based on the graph that models the coordination among the robots being a spanning tree. Our decentralized control law ensures, in the least squares sense, that the robots globally acquire a given planar formation while the formation as a whole globally tracks a desired trajectory. The control law is first designed at the kinematic level and then extended to the dynamic level. In the latter, we consider that parametric uncertainty exists in the equations of motion. These uncertainties are accounted for by employing an adaptive control scheme. The proposed formation maneuvering controls are demonstrated experimentally and numerically.

The structure elucidation of compound 1 was based primarily on 1D and 2D-NMR techniques including 1H and 13CNMR spectra, DEPT and by 2D COSY, HSQC and HMBC experiments.
Polynomials, sign patterns and Descartes' rule of signs

description: By Descartes' rule of signs, a real degree $d$ polynomial $P$ with all nonvanishing coefficients, with $c$ sign changes and $p$ sign preservations in the sequence of its coefficients ($c+p=d$) has $pos\leq c$ positive and $neg\leq p$ negative roots, where $pos\equiv c($\, mod $2)$ and $neg\equiv p($\, mod $2)$. For $1\leq d\leq 3$, for every possible choice of the sequence of signs of coefficients of $P$ (called sign pattern) and for every pair $(pos, neg)$ satisfying these conditions there exists a polynomial $P$ with exactly $pos$ positive and exactly $neg$ negative roots (all of them simple). For $d\geq 4$ this is not so. It was observed that for $4\leq d\leq 10$, in all nonrealizable cases either $pos=0$ or $neg=0$. It was conjectured that this is the case for any $d\geq 4$. We show a counterexample to this conjecture for $d=11$. Namely, we prove that for the sign pattern $(+,-,-,-,-,-,+,+,+,+,+,-)$ and the pair $(1,8)$ there exists no polynomial with $1$ positive, $8$ negative simple roots and a complex conjugate pair.

description: Background: In February 2018, Canada’s National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) began recommending maternal immunization with pertussis-containing vaccine (Tetanus-diphtheria-acellular pertussis [Tdap]) during every pregnancy as a strategy to prevent pertussis infection in young infants. As a baseline for future evaluation of the NACI policy, this thesis aimed to describe the characteristics of women who received Tdap immunization during pregnancy in the pre-policy time period and assess the relationship between maternal Tdap immunization with obstetrical and perinatal outcomes. Methods: We performed a population-based retrospective cohort study of all live births in Ontario, from April 2012 to March 2017 using multiple linked provincial health administrative databases. Tdap immunization during pregnancy was ascertained using Tdap-specific immunization fee codes. We used an extended Cox regression model with a time-dependent exposure variable to estimate adjusted hazards ratios (aHR) for preterm and very preterm birth. All other outcomes (gestational hypertension, chorioamnionitis, small-for-gestational-age birth, neonatal intensive care unit admissions >24 hours, composite outcome for neonatal morbidity) were assessed using log-binomial regression to generate adjusted risk ratios (aRR). All estimates were adjusted using inverse probability of treatment weights derived from propensity scores. Results: Of the 621,903 pregnancies ending in a live birth, 11,750 (1.9%) women received Tdap during pregnancy. The maternal Tdap vaccination rate increased by 8-fold across the study time period, from 4.6 per 1000 women in fiscal-year 2012 to 39.1 per 1000 women in fiscal-year 2016. Women who were nulliparous, residing in a higher-income neighbourhood, and receiving adequate or intensive prenatal care had the highest vaccination rates. There were no significant increased risks (aHR/aRR [95% CI]) for preterm birth (0.99 [0.87-1.12]), very preterm birth (1.03 [0.71-1.50]), or small-for-gestational-age birth (0.95 [0.90-1.02]) in Tdap-exposed infants. A significant reduction in risk for neonatal hospitalization and morbidity (measured by a composite outcome) was found among exposed infants; however, these associations were attenuated following sensitivity analyses. Among Tdap-vaccinated women, compared to unvaccinated women, there was no association with chorioamnionitis (0.95 [0.79-1.15]), but a 19% lower risk of gestational hypertension was observed (0.81 [0.74-0.90]). Conclusions: We did not detect any adverse obstetrical or perinatal outcomes following Tdap vaccination during pregnancy. These results complement existing evidence that maternal Tdap vaccination is not associated with adverse outcomes in either the mother or infant. On-going evaluation in Canada is needed as Tdap coverage among pregnant women increases in the coming years.

description: The quantum autoencoder is a recent paradigm in the field of quantum machine learning, which may enable an enhanced use of resources in quantum technologies. To this end, quantum neural networks with less nodes in the inner than in the outer layers were considered. Here, we propose a useful connection between approximate quantum adders and quantum autoencoders. Specifically, this link allows us to employ optimized approximate quantum adders, obtained with genetic algorithms, for the implementation of quantum autoencoders for a variety of initial states. Furthermore, we can also directly optimize the quantum autoencoders via genetic algorithms. Our approach opens a different path for the design of quantum autoencoders in controllable quantum platforms.

description: In this paper, we study the Steiner hyper-Wiener index of a graph, which is obtained from the standard hyper-Wiener index by replacing the classical graph distance with the Steiner distance. It is shown how this index is related to the Steiner Hosoya polynomial, which generalizes similar result for the standard hyper-Wiener index. Next, we show how the Steiner $3$-hyper-Wiener index of a modular graph can be expressed by using the classical graph distances. As the main result, a method for computing this index for median graphs is developed. Our method makes computation of the Steiner $3$-hyper-Wiener index much more efficient. Finally, the method is used to obtain the closed formulas for the Steiner $3$-Wiener index and the Steiner $3$-hyper-Wiener index of grid graphs.
The EMC effect at low x in perturbative QCD

Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The EMC effect is studied in the perturbative QCD hard pomeron approach. In the limit $x\rightarrow 0$ and for a nucleus with a constant density the effect is found to be a function of a single variable which combines its $x$-, $Q$- and $A$-dependence. At large $Q^{2}$ the effect dies out as $\ln Q/Q$. At small but finite $x$ a change in the anomalous dimension leads to a weaker $Q$-dependence, which almost disappears as $x$ grows and the anomalous dimension becomes small. In this approach the nuclear structure function can be expressed directly in terms of the proton one. Calculations of the EMC effect on these lines give results which agree reasonably well to the existing experimental data for $x<0.05$.

description: Chiral magnets are magnetically ordered insulators having spin scalar chirality, and magnons of chiral magnets have been poorly understood. We study the magnon dispersion and specific heat for four chiral magnets with Q=0 on the pyrochlore lattice. This study is based on the linear-spin-wave approximation for the S=1/2 effective Hamiltonian consisting of two kinds of Heisenberg interaction and two kinds of Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction. We show that the three-in-one-out type chiral magnets possess an optical branch of the magnon dispersion near q=0, in addition to three quasiacoustic branches. This differs from the all-in/all-out type chiral magnets, which possess four quasiacoustic branches. We also show that all four chiral magnets have a gapped magnon energy at q=0, indicating the absence of the Goldstone type gapless excitation. These results are useful for experimentally identifying the three-in-one-out or all-in/all-out type chiral order. Then, we show that there is no qualitative difference in the specific heat among the four magnets. This indicates that the specific heat is not useful for distinguishing the kinds of chiral orders. We finally compare our results with experiments and provide a proposal for the three-in-one-out type chiral magnets.

description: A simple method for the extraction of two major capsaicinoids from habanero peppers, using near-infrared irradiation, microwave irradiation or ultrasound as the energy source and ethanol as the solvent, was compared with Soxhlet extraction. The extraction processes were monitored by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The new processes offer better overall yields and a higher ratio of capsaicin to dihydrocapsaicin than Soxhlet extraction. The physical effect of the different energy sources on the peppers was determined using scanning electron microscopy. Extraction of capsaicin and dihydrocapsaicin using near-infrared irradiation, which has not been previously reported, was shown to be a simple and efficient alternative extraction procedure.

description: We develop a theory of ergodicity for a class of random dynamical systems where the driving noise is not white. The two main tools of our analysis are the strong Feller property and topological irreducibility, introduced in this work for a class of non-Markovian systems. They allow us to obtain a criteria for ergodicity which is similar in nature to the Doob--Khas'minskii theorem. The second part of this article shows how it is possible to apply these results to the case of stochastic differential equations driven by fractional Brownian motion. It follows that under a nondegeneracy condition on the noise, such equations admit a unique adapted stationary solution.

A critical understanding of Khomeini through his words during the Iran-Iraq war (1980-88)

Publisher: name: Lancaster University

description: The 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war is recognised as one of the longest wars of the 20th century. During that time, it is estimated that around half a million people were killed (Kurzman, 2013). From the beginning, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini saw the conflict as an opportunity to expand the Islamic Revolution into Iraq’s territories. Hence, when after the liberation of Khorramshahr in May 1982, President Saddam Hussain called for a ceasefire, but Khomeini rejected it. While, several excellent pieces of research already have studied the Iran-Iraq war and Khomeini’s ideology (Harmon and Todd, 2009; Moein, 2009; Willett, 2003 Hiro, 1990; Masters, 1991 Bakhash, 2004; Razouxand and Elliott, 2015), by linking between Khomeini's words and his ideology during the war, this thesis makes a new contribution to the field. By making comparisons between Khomeini’s thoughts before and after the revolution with his words during the Iran-Iraq war, it can be seen how his discourse during the Iran-Iraq war was shaped. Also, such a comparison helps us understand the complexities of Khomeini’s doctrines and its evolution. To do this, I built a corpus of 118,000 words of Khomeini, and it includes all of Khomeini’s words during the war. This thesis studies how and why Khomeini insisted on the continuation of the Iran-Iraq war. Also, by fixing the Iran-Iraq war as a focal point to study Khomeini’s thoughts, his view towards matters such as nationalism and sectarianism become apparent. The study shows that Khomeini did not use nationalist nor sectarian language during the war. Additionally, this thesis uses a combination of Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA), and Conceptual Metaphor Theory (CMT) as theoretical framework. Various studies have used such a combination as a theoretical framework (Charteris-Black, 2004 and Lukeš and Hart, 2007), however, this combination is mostly used to examine the linguistic aspect of the language. By contrast, this thesis intends to use the theoretical framework in broader political and social context. Namely, this research uses CMT and CDA to discover the political, not linguistic, features of Khomeini’s discourse. Also, based on research theoretical framework, this thesis develops a new synthesis of methodological tools including intertextuality, metaphor analysis and predication strategy.

description: Neural collaborative filtering is the state of art field in the recommender systems area; it provides some models that obtain accurate predictions and recommendations. These models are regression-based, and they just return rating predictions. This paper proposes the use of a classification-based approach, returning both rating predictions and their reliabilities. The extra information (prediction reliabilities) can be used in a variety of relevant collaborative filtering areas such as detection of shilling attacks, recommendations explanation or navigational tools to show users and items dependences. Additionally, recommendation reliabilities can be gracefully provided to users: "probably you will like this film", "almost certainly you will like this song", etc. This paper provides the proposed neural architecture; it also tests that the quality of its recommendation results is as good as the state of art baselines. Remarkably, individual rating predictions are improved by using the proposed architecture compared to baselines. Experiments have been performed making use of four popular public datasets, showing generalizable quality results. Overall, the proposed architecture improves individual rating predictions quality, maintains recommendation results and opens the doors to a set of relevant collaborative filtering fields.

description: We study the Hawking radiation of black holes by considering the canonical typicality. For the universe consisting of black holes and their outer part, we directly obtain a non-thermal radiation spectrum of an arbitrary black hole from its entropy, which only depends on a few external qualities (known as hairs), such as mass, charge, and angular momentum. Our result shows that the spectrum of the non-thermal radiation is independent of the detailed quantum tunneling dynamics across black hole horizon. We prove that the black hole information paradox is naturally resolved by taking account the correlation between black hole and its radiation in our approach.

description: Two protected 14,15-secoergostane derivatives suitable as pivotal intermediates for the synthesis of strophasterols A and B, anti-MRSA and neuronal cell-protecting natural products bearing a recently discovered strophastane skeleton, have been synthesized by two different routes. The first approach employed an oxidative cleavage of an α-hydroxy ketone intermediate with the Jones reagent as the key step to reach the targeted secoergostane from ergosterol in ten steps. In the second approach, an unprecedented reaction cascade composed of four reactions enabled us to obtain the secoergostane more efficiently in six steps.

description: We study a continuum model of dislocation transport in order to investigate the formation of heterogeneous dislocation patterns. We propose a physical mechanism which relates the formation of heterogeneous patterns to the dynamics of a driven system which tries to minimize an internal energy functional while subject to dynamic constraints and state dependent friction. This leads us to a novel interpretation which resolves the old 'energetic vs. dynamic' controversy regarding the physical origin of dislocation patterns. We demonstrate the robustness of the developed patterning scenario by considering the simplest possible case (plane strain, single slip) yet implementing the dynamics of the dislocation density evolution in two very different manners, namely (i) a hydrodynamic formulation which considers transport equations that are continuous in space and time while assuming a linear stress dependency of dislocation motion, and (ii) a stochastic cellular automaton implementation which assumes spatially and temporally discrete transport of discrete 'packets' of dislocation density which move according to an extremal dynamics. Despite the huge differences between both kinds of models, we find that the emergent patterns are mutually consistent and in agreement with the prediction of a linear stability analysis of the continuum model. We also show how different types of initial conditions lead to different intermediate evolution scenarios which, however, do not affect the properties of the fully developed patterns.
FontCode: Embedding Information in Text Documents using Glyph Perturbation

description: We introduce FontCode, an information embedding technique for text documents. Provided a text document with specific fonts, our method embeds user-specified information in the text by perturbing the glyphs of text characters while preserving the text content. We devise an algorithm to chooses unobtrusive yet machine-recognizable glyph perturbations, leveraging a recently developed generative model that alters the glyphs of each character continuously on a font manifold. We then introduce an algorithm that embeds a user-provided message in the text document and produces an encoded document whose appearance is minimally perturbed from the original document. We also present a glyph recognition method that recovers the embedded information from an encoded document stored as a vector graphic or pixel image, or even on a printed paper. In addition, we introduce a new error-correction coding scheme that rectifies a certain number of recognition errors. Lastly, we demonstrate that our technique enables a wide array of applications, using it as a text document metadata holder, an unobtrusive optical barcode, a cryptographic message embedding scheme, and a text document signature.
