description: A number of novel hydrocarbon cage systems have been designed and characterized using ab initio molecular orbital calculations at the MP2 and B3-LYP levels. In particular,equilibrium structures for five families of molecules, hemialkaplanes, hemispiroalkaplanes, alkaplanes, spiroalkaplanes and dimethanospiroalkaplanes, have been examined in detail with the aim of designing a saturated hydrocarbon with a planar-tetracoordinate carbon atom and with a view to identifying appropriate synthetic targets. ¶ ... ¶ Some consideration has been given to likely pathways for unimolecular decomposition for all species. Predicted structures, heats of formation and strain energies for all the novel hydrocarbons are also detailed. Tetramethylhemispirooctaplane and dimethanospirobinonaplane are identified as the preferred synthetic targets.

description: Any quantization of a quasitriangular Lie bialgebra g gives rise to a braiding of the dual Poisson-Lie formal group G^*. We show that this braiding always coincides with the Weinstein-Xu braiding. We also define the lifts of the classical r-matrix r as certain functions on G^* x G^*, prove their existence and uniqueness using co-Hochschild cohomology arguments and show that the lift can be expressed in terms of r by universal formulas.

description: There is much debate on the carcinogenic potential of disinfection by-products (DBP) in chlorinated water supplies. Until recently, epidemiological studies have been limited in their ability to examine accurately the risk of cancer with exposure to environmental carcinogens. This has largely been due to the long latency periods associated with cancer development, and the difficulties in accurately estimating chronic exposure. Although there is evidence, from predominantly case-control studies, of increased bladder cancer with exposure to chlorinated water supplies, the evidence is inconclusive. ¶ In an attempt to determine the carcinogenic potential of trihalomethanes (THMs) in chlorinated water, this study utilises DNA damage to bladder cells, evident as micronuclei, as a pre-clinical outcome measure. Using a pre-clinical marker helps overcome some of the limitations associated with long latency periods. The study improves on previous studies by estimating exposure to DBP at an individual level, and takes into consideration ingestion, inhalation and dermal exposure. ¶ A cohort study was undertaken in three Australian communities. The Bungendore (NSW) water supply was not chlorinated thereby providing a community unexposed to DBPs from chlorinated water. Canberra (ACT) and Adelaide (SA) had intermediate and relatively higher (but still within NHMRC guideline levels) of DBPs in the reticulation system. ...

description:
A robust epidemic-prone disease surveillance system is a critical component of public health infrastructure and supports compliance with the International Health Regulations (IHR). One digital health platform that has been implemented in numerous low- and middle-income countries is the District Health Information System Version 2 (DHIS2). In 2015, in the wake of the Ebola epidemic, the Ministry of Health in Guinea established a strategic plan to strengthen its surveillance system, including adoption of DHIS2 as a health information system that could also capture surveillance data. In 2017, the DHIS2 platform for disease surveillance was piloted in two regions, with the aim of ensuring the timely availability of quality surveillance data for better prevention, detection, and response to epidemic-prone diseases. The success of the pilot prompted the national roll-out of DHIS2 for weekly aggregate disease surveillance starting in January 2018. In 2019, the country started to also use the DHIS2 Tracker to capture individual cases of epidemic-prone diseases. As of February 2020, for aggregate data, the national average timeliness of reporting was 72.2%, and average completeness 98.5%; however, the proportion of individual case reports filed was overall low and varied widely between diseases. While substantial progress has been made in implementation of DHIS2 in Guinea for use in surveillance of epidemic-prone diseases, much remains to be done to ensure long-term sustainability of the system. This paper describes the implementation and outcomes of DHIS2 as a digital health platform for disease surveillance in Guinea between 2015 and early 2020, highlighting lessons learned and recommendations related to the processes of planning and adoption, pilot testing in two regions, and scale up to national level.

description: In many instances arising prominently, but not exclusively, in imaging problems, it is important to condense the salient information so as to obtain a low-dimensional approximant of the data. This thesis is concerned with two basic situations which call for such a dimension reduction. The first of these is the statistical recovery of smooth edges in regression and density surfaces. The edges are understood to be contiguous curves, although they are allowed to meander almost arbitrarily through the plane, and may even split at a finite number of points to yield an edge graph. A novel locally-parametric nonparametric method is proposed which enjoys the benefit of being relatively easy to implement via a `tracking' approach. These topics are discussed in Chapters 2 and 3, with pertaining background material being given in the Appendix. In Chapter 4 we construct concomitant confidence bands for this estimator, which have asymptotically correct coverage probability. The construction can be likened to only a few existing approaches, and may thus be considered as our main contribution. ¶ Chapter 5 discusses numerical issues pertaining to the edge and confidence band estimators of Chapters 2-4. Connections are drawn to popular topics which originated in the fields of computer vision and signal processing, and which surround edge detection. These connections are exploited so as to obtain greater robustness of the likelihood estimator, such as with the presence of sharp corners. ¶ Chapter 6 addresses a dimension reduction problem for spatial data where the ultimate objective of the analysis is the discrimination of these data into one of a few pre-specified groups. In the dimension reduction step, an instrumental role is played by the recently developed methodology of functional data analysis. Relatively standar non-linear image processing techniques, as well as wavelet shrinkage, are used prior to this step. A case study for remotely-sensed navigation radar data exemplifies the methodology of Chapter 6.

description: The circular economy is becoming an increasingly discussed concept being an alternative to the current model of economy based on the unsustainable constant growth built on the unlimited use of resources. The objective of the study will be to outline the circular economy concept with the presentation of attempts to operationalise it from the point of view of the sustainability of agriculture and the whole food sector. We verified a research thesis that the circular economy is one of several concepts enriching and probably likely to replace the EU agricultural and food sector sustainability in the future. An eclectic approach has been applied, using the method of literature studies, documentation method and elements of heuristic methods. The paper is a review study. Formally, the CE is to constitute a superstructure for the CAP and sustainability practised within it, more and more schematic and fossilised. The basis for enhancing the sustainability, improving the efficiency and competitiveness of the EU agriculture and the whole food should be, in the first place, broadly understood innovation and creativity.

Asymptotic Properties of Stationary Solutions of Coupled Nonconvex Nonsmooth Empirical Risk Minimization

description:
This paper has two main goals: (a) establish several statistical properties—consistency, asymptotic distributions, and convergence rates—of stationary solutions and values of a class of coupled nonconvex and nonsmooth empirical risk-minimization problems and (b) validate these properties by a noisy amplitude-based phase-retrieval problem, the latter being of much topical interest. Derived from available data via sampling, these empirical risk-minimization problems are the computational workhorse of a population risk model that involves the minimization of an expected value of a random functional. When these minimization problems are nonconvex, the computation of their globally optimal solutions is elusive. Together with the fact that the expectation operator cannot be evaluated for general probability distributions, it becomes necessary to justify whether the stationary solutions of the empirical problems are practical approximations of the stationary solution of the population problem. When these two features, general distribution and nonconvexity, are coupled with nondifferentiability that often renders the problems “non-Clarke regular,” the task of the justification becomes challenging. Our work aims to address such a challenge within an algorithm-free setting. The resulting analysis is, therefore, different from much of the analysis in the recent literature that is based on local search algorithms. Furthermore, supplementing the classical global minimizer-centric analysis, our results offer a promising step to close the gap between computational optimization and asymptotic analysis of coupled, nonconvex, nonsmooth statistical estimation problems, expanding the former with statistical properties of the practically obtained solution and providing the latter with a more practical focus pertaining to computational tractability.

BACKGROUND: Despite progress toward the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS "95-95-95" targets (95% of HIV-positive persons tested, 95% of tested persons on treatment, and 95% of treated persons virally suppressed), a gap remains in achieving the first 95% target. Assisted contact tracing (ACT), in which health workers support HIV-positive index clients to recruit their contacts (sexual partners and children) for HIV testing, efficiently identifies HIV-positive persons in need of treatment. Although many countries, including Malawi, began implementing ACT, testing outcomes in routine settings have been worse than those in trial settings. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this paper is to use formative research and frameworks to develop and digitize an implementation package to bridge the gap between ACT research and practice. METHODS: Semistructured qualitative research was conducted in 2019 in Malawi with key informants. Barriers and facilitators to intervention delivery were identified using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. Approaches to digitization were examined using human-centered design principles. RESULTS: Limited clinic coordination and health worker capacity to address the complexities of ACT were identified as barriers. Ongoing individual training consisting of learning, observing, practicing, and receiving feedback, as well as group problem-solving were identified as facilitators. Important features of digitization included (1) culturally relevant visual content, (2) capability of offline use, and (3) simple designs and basic editing to keep costs low. CONCLUSIONS: Formative research and frameworks played a key role in designing and digitizing an implementation package for ACT delivery in a low-income setting such as Malawi.

Grammar-Based Semantic Parsing Into Graph Representations

Subjects: Computer science
Directed graphs

description: Directed graphs are an intuitive and versatile representation of natural language meaning because they can capture relationships between instances of events and entities, including cases where entities play multiple roles. Yet, there are few approaches in natural language processing that use graph manipulation techniques for semantic parsing. This dissertation studies graph-based representations of natural language meaning, discusses a formal-grammar based approach to the semantic construction of graph representations, and develops methods for open-domain semantic parsing into such representations. To perform string-to-graph translation I use synchronous hyperedge replacement grammars (SHRG). The thesis studies this grammar formalism from a formal, linguistic, and algorithmic perspective. It proposes a new lexicalized variant of this formalism (LSHRG), which is inspired by tree insertion grammar and provides a clean syntax/semantics interface. The thesis develops a new method for automatically extracting SHRG and LSHRG grammars from annotated “graph banks”, which uses existing syntactic derivations to structure the extracted grammar. It also discusses a new method for semantic parsing with large, automatically extracted grammars, that translates syntactic derivations into derivations of the synchronous grammar, as well as initial work on parse reranking and selection using a graph model. I evaluate this work on the Abstract Meaning Representation (AMR) dataset. The results show that the grammar-based approach to semantic analysis shows promise as a technique for semantic parsing and that string-to-graph grammars can be induced efficiently. Taken together, the thesis lays the foundation for future work on graph methods in natural language semantics.

description:
In low-income, urban, informal communities lacking sewerage and solid waste services, onsite sanitation (sludges, aqueous effluent) and child feces are potential sources of human fecal contamination in living environments. Working in informal communities of urban Maputo, Mozambique, we developed a quantitative, stochastic, mass-balance approach to evaluate plausible scenarios of localized contamination that could explain why the soil-transmitted helminth Ascaris remains endemic despite nearly universal coverage of latrines that sequester most fecal wastes. We used microscopy to enumerate presumptively viable Ascaris ova in feces, fecal sludges, and soils from compounds (i.e., household clusters) and then constructed a steady-state mass-balance model to evaluate possible contamination scenarios capable of explaining observed ova counts in soils. Observed Ascaris counts (mean = -0.01 log10 ova per wet gram of soil, sd = 0.71 log10) could be explained by deposits of 1.9 grams per day (10th percentile 0.04 grams, 90th percentile 84 grams) of child feces on average, rare fecal sludge contamination events that transport 17 kg every three years (10th percentile 1.0 kg, 90th percentile 260 kg), or a daily discharge of 2.7 kg aqueous effluent from an onsite system (10th percentile 0.09 kg, 90th percentile 82 kg). Results suggest that even limited intermittent flows of fecal wastes in this setting can result in a steady-state density of Ascaris ova in soils capable of sustaining transmission, given the high prevalence of Ascaris shedding by children (prevalence = 25%; mean = 3.7 log10 per wet gram, sd = 1.1 log10), the high Ascaris ova counts in fecal sludges (prevalence = 88%; mean = 1.8 log10 per wet gram, sd = 0.95 log10), and the extended persistence and viability of Ascaris ova in soils. Even near-universal coverage of onsite sanitation may allow for sustained transmission of Ascaris under these conditions.

 Gram-positive, rod-shaped, catalase negative, heterofermentative. Mesophilic, with a narrow temperature range of growth, and acid tolerant with an optimum pH of growth at 4.0. The spectrum of carbohydrates that support acid formation is unusual as it includes sugar alcohols and disaccharides but excludes most hexoses and all pentoses. The unusual substrate requirements and pH optimum for growth may reflect an ecological association with acetic acid bacteria. The sole representative of the genus was isolated from a grain vinegar mash (vinegar pei) and has a genome size of 2.33 Mbp with a mol% G+C content of 41.7.
 The type species of the genus is Acetilactobacillus jinshanensis sp. nov.

description: This work examines the ways in which the relationship between society and nature is problematic for social theory. The Frankfurt School’s notion of the dialectic of enlightenment is considered, as are the attempts by Jurgen Habermas to defend an ‘emancipatory’ theory of modernity against this. The marginalising effect Habermas’ defence of reason has had on the place of nature in his critical social theory is examined, as is the work of theorists such as Ulrich Beck and Klaus Eder. For these latter authors, unlike Habermas, the social relation to nature is at the centre of contemporary society, giving rise to new forms of modernisation and politics. ¶ Michel Foucault’s work on biopolitics and governmentality is examined against the background of his philosophical debate with Habermas on power and rationality. The growth of scientific ecology is shown to have both problematised the social relation to nature and provided the political technology for new forms of regulatory intervention in the management of the population and resources. These new forms of intervention constitute a form of ecological governmentality along the lines discussed by Foucault and others in relation to the human sciences. ¶ ...

description: Intermittent maps of Pomeau-Manneville type are well-studied in one-dimension, and also in higher dimensions if the map happens to be Markov. In general, the nonconformality of multidimensional intermittent maps represents a challenge that up to now is only partially addressed. We show how to prove sharp polynomial bounds on decay of correlations for a class of multidimensional intermittent maps. In addition we show that the optimal results on statistical limit laws for one-dimensional intermittent maps hold also for the maps considered here. This includes the (functional) central limit theorem and local limit theorem, Berry-Esseen estimates, large deviation estimates, convergence to stable laws and Lévy processes, and infinite measure mixing.

Gowanus Gentrified? Community Responses to Gentrification and Economic Development in the Shadow of the Superfund
Creators: Spitzer-Rubenstein, Michael
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2012
Subjects: Environmental justice

description: Gowanus is an industrial neighborhood changing into a gentrified area, but it faces such severe pollution that the EPA designated the Gowanus Canal, which bisects the area, a Superfund site in 2010. The industry still in Gowanus includes a mix of traditional industrial businesses, craft industries, and artists, but they might disappear if developers build luxury condos in the neighborhood. This study looks at the clash between activists over how the community has and will change, focusing on the pro-development Gowanus Canal Community Development Corporation and the preservationist and pro-Superfund Friends and Residents of Greater Gowanus. Many local activists embrace the vision of Gowanus as a place for making things and hope to maintain industry. Even though industry left the neighborhood polluted, most do not connect the two. The Superfund seeks to clean up the neighborhood but it may pave the way for environmental gentrification, which is the pollution cleanup causing gentrification. However, fears of the Superfund harming home prices do not appear to be true; GIS analysis shows that land closest to environmental hazards increased the most in value. Residents also hope to avoid the experiences of other New York neighborhoods, which saw gentrification cause displacement. More than residential displacement, though, activists worry about the culture of Gowanus disappearing and hope to save it. Their remedies such as historic preservation and zoning Gowanus for mixed use may not be effective or viable, though. Both major groups seem to accept the idea that attracting the creative class is crucial to economic success, and that they should make efforts to attract creatives to the area. However supporters of industry extend the definition of creative class from white-collar professionals to include blue-collar workers manufacturing custom-made designed products. Because of a lack of government involvement or a unified community forum, there is no clear path for resolving those differences and planning for the future, but a system of participatory planning could help resolve conflicts and develop plans to permit changes in ways that don't destroy the Gowanus community.

description: In this note we discuss the possibility of detecting the accompanying X-ray emission from sources of fast radio bursts with the eROSITA telescope onboard the Spektr-RG observatory. It is shown that during four years of the survey program about 300 bursts are expected to appear in the field of view of eROSITA. About 1\% of them will be detected by ground-based radio telescopes. For a total energy release $\sim~10^{46}$~ergs depending on the spectral parameters and absorption in the interstellar and intergalactic media, an X-ray flare can be detected from distances from $\sim 1$~Mpc (thermal spectrum with $kT=200$~keV and strong absorption) up to $\sim1$~Gpc (power-law spectrum with photon index $Γ=2 $ and realistic absorption). Thus, eROSITA observations might help to provide important constraints on parameters of sources of fast radio bursts, or may even allow to identify the X-ray transient counterparts, which will help to constrain models of fast radio bursts generation.

description: This thesis examines the way in which traditional accounts of gender differences in the self-concept have relied on distal explanatory factors, and have thus conceptualised the gendered self as stable across both time and situation. This notion of a stable, gendered self has been implicated as underlying of a range of psychological gender differences (e.g., Cross & Madson, 1997), such as those in moral reasoning (e.g., Gillian, 1982) and ways of knowing (e.g., Belenky et al., 1989). As a result, these behaviours are also seen to be stable across time and context.¶ ...

description:
Combining qualitative and quantitative methods sheds new light on women's empowerment processes.


Upper caste Nepali women are disempowered by patriarchy; lower caste women by poverty and patriarchy.


Non-migrant husbands mediate the disempowering effects of living with in-laws.


Control over time, not just hours worked, is an important component of empowerment.
Conservation laws in quantum noninvasive measurements

description: Conservation principles are essential to describe and quantify dynamical processes in all areas of physics. Classically, a conservation law holds because the description of reality can be considered independent of an observation (measurement). In quantum mechanics, however, invasive observations change quantities drastically, irrespective of any classical conservation law. One may hope to overcome this nonconservation by performing a weak, almost noninvasive measurement. Interestingly, we find that the nonconservation is manifest even in weakly measured correlations if some of the other observables do not commute with the conserved quantity. Our observations show that conservation laws in quantum mechanics should be considered in their specific measurement context. We provide experimentally feasible examples to observe the apparent nonconservation of energy and angular momentum.

description: We report measurements of excitation functions for the O$^{+}-$N$_{2}$ process with the incident beam of $1-10$ keV O$^{+}$ in the ground O$^{+}(^{4}S)$ and metastable O$^{+}(^{2}D)$ and O$^{+}(^{2}P)$ states. The measurements are performed with the sufficiently high energy resolution of 0.001 eV, which allows to distinguish the excitation channels. The excitation cross section induced by incident ions in the metastable state O$^{+}(^{2}P)$ is much larger than that for the ground O$^{+}(^{4}S)$. The excitation cross section of N$_{2}^{+}$ ion for (0,0), (0,1) and (1,2) bands system is measured and the ratio of intensities for these bands is established as $10:3:1.$ It is shown that the cross sections for the N$^{+^{\ast }}$ions excitations in the dissociative charge exchange processes increase with the increase of the incident ion energy. The energy dependence of the excitation cross section of the band (0,0) $λ=391.4$ nm of the first negative system of the N$_{2}^{+}$ and degree of polarization of radiation in O$^{+}-$N$_{2}$ collision are measured for the first time. An influence of an admixture of the ion metastable state on a degree of polarization is revealed. It is demonstrated that for O$^{+}-$N$_{2}$ collision system the degree of polarization by metastable O$^{+}$($^{2}P$) ions is less compared to those that are in the ground O$^{+}$($^{4}S$) state and the sign of polarization degree of excited molecular ions does not change.

Structured Jet Model for Multiwavelength Observations of the Jetted Tidal Disruption Event AT 2022cmc

description: AT 2022cmc is a recently documented tidal disruption event (TDE) that exhibits a luminous jet, accompanied by fast-declining X-ray and long-lasting radio/millimeter emission. Motivated by the distinct spectral and temporal signatures between X-ray and radio observations, we propose a multizone model involving relativistic jets with different Lorentz factors. We systematically study the evolution of the faster and slower jets in an external density profile, considering the continuous energy injection rate associated with the time-dependent accretion rates before and after the mass fallback time. We investigate time-dependent multiwavelength emission from both the forward shock and reverse shock regions of the fast and slow jets, in a self-consistent manner. Our analysis demonstrates that the energy injection rate can significantly impact the jet evolution and subsequently influence the lightcurves. We find that the X-ray spectra and lightcurves can be described by the electron synchrotron emission from the reverse shock of the faster jet, in which the late-time X-ray upper limits, extending to 400 days after the disruption, could be interpreted as the jet break steepening. Meanwhile, the radio observations can be interpreted as a result of synchrotron emissions from the forward shock region of the slower jet. We also discuss prospects for testing the model with current and future observations.

Rhetorical Structure Analysis of the Indonesian Research Articles
Creators: name: Safnil
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2000
Subjects: rhetorical structure
Indonesian research articles
genre analysis
introduction section
Bahasa Indonesia

description: This thesis discusses rhetorical features of Indonesian research articles (RAs) in three disciplinary areas: Economics, Education and Psychology. These were written by Indonesian speakers and published mainly in university-based scientific journals. The main focus of this thesis is on the examination of the patterns of communicative purposes or ‘Moves’ and their subsequent elements or ‘Steps’ of the introduction sections of these articles. The analyses include the examination of communicative purposes and persuasive values of the texts, linguistic resources used to materialise the communicative purposes and persuasions, and the cultural factors (ie. norms, beliefs and values) and scientific practices and academic writing conventions underlying the specific rhetorical features. ¶ This study found that the macro rhetorical structure of the Indonesian RAs (ie. the Introduction, Methods, Results and Discussion or IMRD pattern) is relatively similar to that of the English RAs except that, unlike in English RAs, the conclusion and suggestion section in the Indonesian RAs have a separate section. However, the communicative purposes and persuasions in the introduction sections in the two groups of the RAs (English and Indonesian) are relatively different. Differences are also found in the way that rhetorical works use the linguistic resources to materialise the communicative purposes and persuasions in the introduction sections of the two groups of RAs. Some of the rhetorical differences are because of the differences in the research practices and scientific writing conventions in Indonesian and in English speaking countries, while others are because of cultural differences reflected in the two languages. ¶ The pedagogical implication of this study is that the Indonesian RA genre needs to be explicitly taught to Indonesian students, particularly university students in order to give them more access to the content of Indonesian research, and to develop skills needed by Indonesian researchers and research writers. For this purpose, an appropriate approach needs to be developed; that is to teach the generic features of Indonesian RAs such as those in social sciences written in Bahasa Indonesia or Indonesian.

description: Identifying, characterizing, and monitoring the large number of hazardous waste sites in the United States is a difficult, complex task. Development of a field-portable x-ray fluorescence system and of the associated sampling and analytical protocols may simplify one aspect of this task: the screening of hazardous waste sites for inorganic contaminants. Ve are investigating the capabilities of commercial systems that are in the design, prototype, and commercial stages of development, and we are providing input into the development of a federally funded prototype. By using off-the-shelf and prototype instruments in the field, we are able to compare their capabilities, refine instrument performance requirements, develop standard reference samples and standardized field methodology, and provide real-world assistance to regional personnel, A planned market survey will help us identify the range of usefulness of the technique with the aim of advancing the federally funded prototype to production through a contract with a commercial manufacturer. We have already produced tangible results in many of these areas; additional funding must be approved to advance some aspects of the project. In tandem with the effort to develop this technology for use in sampling soils at hazardous waste sites, we are exploring the applicability of the technique to identifying contaminants in wastewater, ground water, living plant tissues, and building materials; and to determining the length of time that must pass before zeolite-amended contaminated soils Can safely be vegetated.
