description: The analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) waves is of critical importance for the diagnosis of sleep disorders, such as sleep apnea and insomnia, besides that, seizures, epilepsy, head injuries, dizziness, headaches and brain tumors. In this context, one important task is the identification of visible structures in the EEG signal, such as sleep spindles and K-complexes. The identification of these structures is usually performed by visual inspection from human experts, a process that can be error prone and susceptible to biases. Therefore there is interest in developing technologies for the automated analysis of EEG. In this paper, we propose a new Genetic Programming (GP) framework for feature construction and dimensionality reduction from EEG signals. We use these features to automatically identify spindles and K-complexes on data from the DREAMS project. Using 5 different classifiers, the set of attributes produced by GP obtained better AUC scores than those obtained from PCA or the full set of attributes. Also, the results obtained from the proposed framework obtained a better balance of Specificity and Recall than other models recently proposed in the literature. Analysis of the features most used by GP also suggested improvements for data acquisition protocols in future EEG examinations.

Tunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance of Pb and Bi adatoms and dimers on Mn/W(110): A first-principles study

description: We show that Pb and Bi adatoms and dimers have a large tunneling anisotropic magnetoresistance (TAMR) of up to 60% when adsorbed on a magnetic transition-metal surface due to strong spin-orbit coupling and the hybridization of 6p orbitals with 3d states of the magnetic layer. Using density functional theory, we have explored the TAMR effect of Pb and Bi adatoms and dimers adsorbed on a Mn monolayer on W(110). This surface exhibits a noncollinear cycloidal spin spiral ground state with an angle of 173$^\circ$ between neighboring spins which allows to rotate the spin quantization axis of an adatom or dimer quasi-continuously and is ideally suited to explore the angular dependence of TAMR using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). We find that the induced magnetic moments of Pb and Bi adatoms and dimers are small, however, the spin-polarization of the local density of states (LDOS) is still very large. The TAMR obtained from the anisotropy of the vacuum LDOS is up to 50-60 % for adatoms. For dimers the TAMR depends sensitively on the dimer orientation with respect to the crystallographic directions of the surface due to the formation of bonds between the adatoms with the Mn surface atoms and the symmetry of the spin-orbit coupling induced mixing. Dimers oriented along the spin spiral direction of the Mn monolayer display the largest TAMR of 60 % which is due to hybrid 6p-3d states of the dimers and the Mn layer

description: This report summarizes the 2009 financial and production records of 88 Michigan cash grain farms. To be included, the farms must have produced at least 50 percent of gross cash farm income from one or a combination of these items: corn, soybeans, wheat, navy beans, oats, sugar beets and other small grains. The records came from Michigan State University’s TelFarm project and Farm Credit Service of Michigan. The values were pooled into averages for reporting purposes. Farm records were included if a farm financial analysis had completed 2009 data including beginning and ending balance sheets and a statement of income and expenses. The data was checked to verify that cash discrepancy was less than 10% of gross cash inflow and that debt discrepancy was less than $1,000. While considerable variation in the data exists, average values are reported in the summary tables.

DIAGNOSIS: Squatinid elasmobranch in which only the anteriormost two basiventrals of the vertebrae are expanded laterally. First basiventral process much broader distally than proximally, with rounded distal extremities and strongly recurved posterior borders surrounding the second basiventral and almost reaching the third centrum. Second basiventral process sharply angled posterolaterally, straight sided and slightly tapered distally. First vertebra with a vestigial anterior vertebral spool completely enclosed by the first basiventrals, notochordal canal does not reach anterior surface of first basiventral cartilage. Vertebral centra increase in width to centrum 5, then decrease in width. Palatoquadrate orbital process with smoothly rounded apex formed in tessellated cartilage and with a slight anterior projection on its anterolateral surface. Jaws smaller relative to the size of the occipital region than in other squatinids. Teeth unknown.
 ETYMOLOGY: From the Latin creta (“chalk”) plus squatina (Latin, “skate”).

description: Though Zambia has considerable agricultural potential, the sector’s contribution to growth and poverty reduction has been limited. The sector remains one of the most important employers of labour and remains the main source of livelihood for most rural households in Zambia. Thus key development challenge facing Zambian agriculture over the past two decades has been how it can effectively contribute to poverty reduction and broad-based economic growth. Agricultural commercialisation and surplus production, as revealed by nationally representative farm surveys, in the country has remained concentrated with only about 5% of Zambia’s small- and medium-scale farmers produce half of the marketed surplus. Meanwhile at least half of the smallholder farms sell little or no crops and hence derive virtually no cash income from agriculture.
Measurement of the $B^0 -\bar{B}^0$ mixing rate with $B^0(\bar{B}^0) \to D^{*\mp} π^{\pm}$ partial reconstruction

We use events with a partially reconstructed $B^0(\bar{B}^0) \to D^{*\mp} π^{\pm}$ candidate and where the flavor of the accompanying $B$ meson is identified by the charge of the lepton from a $B^0(\bar{B}^0) \to X^{\mp} \ell^{\pm} ν$ decay. The proper-time difference between the two $B$ mesons is determined from the distance between the two decay vertices. From a simultaneous fit to the proper-time distributions for the same-flavor ($B^0(\bar{B}^0)$, $\ell^{\pm}$) and opposite-flavor ($B^0(\bar{B}^0)$, $\ell^{\mp}$) event samples, we measure the mass difference between the two mass eigenstates of the neutral $B$ meson to be $Δm_d$= $(0.509 \pm 0.017~(\rm stat) \pm 0.020~(\rm syst))~ps^{-1}$.

description: Autonomous Guided Vehicles (AGV) are computer controlled electric vehicles and robots that has been programmed to execute precise tasks, such as material handling and transport of goods. To maintain the work productivity, AGV requires fast charging methods while keeping the environment safety and products integrity. Popular charging methods are contact-based and wireless charging. Contact-based systems offers fast and efficient charging solutions, however, due contact friction, the constant maintenance and explosion hazard in dust environments made this solution be replaced with wireless power transfer (WPT) applications. Wireless charging are contactless approaches that assure the safety of living beings and environment security. Besides that, wireless systems are easy to install with low maintenance and long life, becoming a cost benefit solution. This thesis investigates and develops novel WPT technologies for AGV. Firstly, an analysis of current WPT technologies defines the target AGV application. Small vehicles units are the focus of the wireless model's system due to the possibility of resizing pads designs for larger AGV applications. [...]

description: Forests support rural livelihoods and food security in many developing countries by providing critical sources of food, medicine, shelter, building materials, fuels, and cash income. The increasing demand for forest products has enhanced rural livelihoods and enabled the expansion of domestic markets, particularly in urban areas where woodfuel and other forest resources are scarce. Therefore, non-timber forest products may offer sources of income and opportunities for poverty alleviation in both rural and urban areas. In Zambia, most rural households residing near forests extract a range of forest products for both direct consumption and trade (including food products and wood for cooking fuel and charcoal production), and forest products are among the top sources of household income in some rural areas. Households engage in trade of non-timber forest products (NTFPs) because of low capital requirements and relatively easy entry to markets. NTFPs help bridge seasonal gaps in income for many farmers, and they provide a safety net for many rural households during years with low crop yields.

Experimental analysis of the brachistochrone using a kinematical approximation method

Year: 2011

description: The solution to the brachistochrone – the curve of fastest descent – for a spherical steel bearing sliding and rolling down a low-friction plastic track is determined from experimental data and numerical analysis. It is hypothesized that the curve of fastest descent will be closely correlated to the cycloid. Analysis involves a spreadsheet simulation of model curves where the times of descent are predicted by an approximation formula derived using basic kinematics. Results display a positive correlation between a model curve’s deviation from the cycloid and the time of descent.

description: We prove two theorems, announced in hep-th/0108170, for static spacetimes that solve Einstein's equation with negative cosmological constant. The first is a general structure theorem for spacetimes obeying a certain convexity condition near infinity, analogous to the structure theorems of Cheeger and Gromoll for manifolds of non-negative Ricci curvature. For spacetimes with Ricci-flat conformal boundary, the convexity condition is associated with negative mass. The second theorem is a uniqueness theorem for the negative mass AdS soliton spacetime. This result lends support to the new positive mass conjecture due to Horowitz and Myers which states that the unique lowest mass solution which asymptotes to the AdS soliton is the soliton itself. This conjecture was motivated by a nonsupersymmetric version of the AdS/CFT correspondence. Our results add to the growing body of rigorous mathematical results inspired by the AdS/CFT correspondence conjecture. Our techniques exploit a special geometric feature which the universal cover of the soliton spacetime shares with familiar ``ground state'' spacetimes such as Minkowski spacetime, namely, the presence of a null line, or complete achronal null geodesic, and the totally geodesic null hypersurface that it determines. En route, we provide an analysis of the boundary data at conformal infinity for the Lorentzian signature static Einstein equations, in the spirit of the Fefferman-Graham analysis for the Riemannian signature case. This leads us to generalize to arbitrary dimension a mass definition for static asymptotically AdS spacetimes given by Chruściel and Simon. We prove equivalence of this mass definition with those of Ashtekar-Magnon and Hawking-Horowitz.

description: {Three-wave resonant interactions constitute an essential nonlinear mechanism coupling capillary surface waves. In a previous work, Haudin et al. [Phys. Rev E 93, 043110 (2016)], we have characterized experimentally the generation by this mechanism of a daughter wave, whose amplitude saturates due to the viscous dissipation. Here, we show experimentally the generation of a daughter wave verifying the resonant conditions, but not the dispersion relation.} By modeling the response of the free surface at the lowest nonlinear order, we explain this observation as a forced interaction. {The bandwidth of the linear transfer function of the free surface is indeed increased by the significant viscous dissipation.} The observation of free surface excitations not following the linear dispersion relation then becomes possible. This forced three-wave interaction mechanism could have important consequences for wave turbulence in experimental or natural systems with non negligible dissipation.

description: A geometric interpretation is given for certain elliptic-hyperbolic systems in the plane. Among several examples, one which reduces in the elliptic region to the equations for harmonic 1-forms on the projective disc is studied in detail. A boundary-value problem for this example is formulated and is shown to possess weak solutions.

description: Scalar fields are widely used in cosmology, in particular to emulate dark energy, for example in quintessence models, or to explain dark matter, in particular within the fuzzy dark matter model. In addition many scenarios involving primordial scalar fields which could have driven inflation or baryogenesis are currently under scrutiny. In this article, we study the impact of such scalar fields on Big-Bang nucleosynthesis and derive constraints on their parameters using the observed abundance of the elements.

description: An experimental study of a binary granular mixture submitted to a transient shear flow in a cylindrical container is reported. The formation of ripples with a spiral shape is observed. The appearance of phase segregation in those spiral patterns is shown. The relative grain size bewteen sand species is found to be a relevant parameter leading to phase segregation. However, the relative repose angle is an irrelevant parameter. The formation of sedimentary structures is also presented. They result from a ripple climbing process. The ``sub-critical'' or ``super-critical'' character of the lamination patterns is shown to depend on the rotation speed of the container.

 Material examined. 1 male (QSBG), Thailand, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Namtok Yong NP, TV aerial, 8°14.262’N 99°48.289’E, 966 m, Malaise trap, 1–8 September 2008, Paiboon leg. (T3538).
 Discussion. The species was earlier known only by the holotype male from the same locality in Thailand (Hippa, 2010). The present mount is tilted and some characters can be seen better than in the holotype. The curved finger-like lobe between the dorsal and ventral lobes of the gonostylus is well visible and it is visible that between this lobe and the ventral lobe of the gonostylus there is another small handlike lobe with sclerotized lamellae as fingers. Further, on the dorsal side of the ventral lobe of the gonostylus there is a comb-like row of fine lamellae. The curved finger-like lobe mentioned above is a good key character for Paramanota bifalx. A reminiscent but straight lobe is seen also in P. paxillosa.

title: The epidemiology and clinical features of Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and MOG antibody related disease (MOGAD) in Gold Coast

subject: online clinical survey tool

description: Neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD) and MOG antibody related disease (MOGAD) are two rare antibody-mediated demyelinating diseases of the central nervous system. Of note MOGAD has only been recently distinguished as a separate disease entity, and consequently the available data describing its epidemiological and clinical features is scant. The purpose of this project was to establish the foundation for a future state-wide comparative epidemiological and clinical study of NMOSD and MOGAD. Initially, a pilot study of cases in Gold Coast using a paper survey form was intended. However, during methodological planning, a feasibility analysis determined that the use of an electronic survey form would be far more advantageous. As such, the new primary aim of this project was to develop a highly functional and capable electronic clinical survey tool to collect demographic and clinical information from patients with NMOSD and MOGAD. A survey was successfully built using the REDCap software. This was successfully trialled in a population of 29 cases, which is believed to include all most (if not all) of the NMOSD and MOGAD cases in Gold Coast that are treated in the private sector. The overall recruitment rate was 97% and the overall survey completion rate was 90%. The survey was successfully able to capture and output the key epidemiological and clinical features relevant to demyelinating diseases. Preliminary epidemiological and clinical data was reported descriptively and included in the report entirely for illustrative purposes. The future directions of this research include the completion of a full pilot study of all cases in Gold Coast (pending recruitment of cases from the Gold Coast Hospital and Health Service), and later followed by the execution of the Queensland-wide study.

A Measurement of the tau -> mu nu nu Branching Ratio

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)

description: The tau -> mu nu nu branching ratio has been measured using data collected from 1990 to 1995 by the OPAL detector at the LEP collider. The resulting value of B(tau -> mu nu nu) = 0.1734 +- 0.0009(stat) +- 0.0006(syst) has been used in conjunction with other OPAL measurements to test lepton universality, yielding the coupling constant ratios gmu/ge=1.0005+-0.0044 and gt/ge=1.0031+-0.0048, in good agreement with the Standard Model prediction of unity. A value for the Michel parameter eta = 0.004 +- 0.037 has also been determined and used to find a limit for the mass of the charged Higgs boson mH+- > 1.25 tan beta, in the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model.

description: Reinforcement learning (RL) is capable of managing wireless, energy-harvesting IoT nodes by solving the problem of autonomous management in non-stationary, resource-constrained settings. We show that the state-of-the-art policy-gradient approaches to RL are appropriate for the IoT domain and that they outperform previous approaches. Due to the ability to model continuous observation and action spaces, as well as improved function approximation capability, the new approaches are able to solve harder problems, permitting reward functions that are better aligned with the actual application goals. We show such a reward function and use policy-gradient approaches to learn capable policies, leading to behavior more appropriate for IoT nodes with less manual design effort, increasing the level of autonomy in IoT.

description: In this paper we address the problem of protein classification starting from a multi-view 2D representation of proteins. From each 3D protein structure, a large set of 2D projections is generated using the protein visualization software Jmol. This set of multi-view 2D representations includes 13 different types of protein visualizations that emphasize specific properties of protein structure (e.g., a backbone visualization that displays the backbone structure of the protein as a trace of the Cα atom). Each type of representation is used to train a different Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and the fusion of these CNNs is shown to be able to exploit the diversity of different types of representations to improve classification performance. In addition, several multi-view projections are obtained by uniformly rotating the protein structure around its central X, Y, and Z viewing axes to produce 125 images. This approach can be considered a data augmentation method for improving the performance of the classifier and can be used in both the training and the testing phases. Experimental evaluation of the proposed approach on two datasets demonstrates the strength of the proposed method with respect to the other state-of-the-art approaches. The MATLAB code used in this paper is available at https://github.com/LorisNanni.
