description: The coupling of the charge carriers passing through a molecule bridging two bulky conductors with local vibrational modes of the molecule, gives rise to distinct features in the electronic transport properties on one hand, and to nonequilibrium features in the vibrations' properties, e.g., their population, on the other. Here we explore theoretically a generic model for a molecular junction biased by an arbitrary dc voltage in the weak-coupling regime. We analyze the signature of the electron-vibration interaction on the full-counting statistics of the current fluctuations (i.e., the cumulant generating-function of the current correlations), we give a detailed account of the response to an ac field exerted on the junction (on top of the dc bias voltage), we study the nonequilibrium distribution of the vibrational modes and the fluctuations they cause in the displacement of the molecule center of mass. The calculations use the technique of nonequilibrium Green's functions, and treat the electron-vibration coupling in perturbation theory, within the random-phase approximation when required.

description: Objective: This in vitro study compared the torsional force to fracture (TFF) and angle of rotation to fracture (ARF) of Trushape® 3D conforming Nickel Titanium (NiTi) rotary files in as received condition, after 1, and 3 simulated clinical uses. Methods: Ninety simulated root canals (30-degree curvature) in clear resin blocks (A0177, DENTSPLY Maillefer) were used. 25 mm length files with 6% taper in sizes 20, 25 and 30 were tested (n=10 per test group). TFF and ARF were recorded with torsiometer (Sabri Dental Enterprises) as per ISO 3630-1. TFF was obtained by measuring peak torque in gram-centimeters (g-cm) and ARF in degrees of rotation until instrument separation. The data was analyzed using ANOVA and Tukey’s Post-Hoc tests (p<0.05) Results: The TFF significantly (p<0.05) decreased between as received and 3 use files within each file size. In addition, there was also a significant (p<0.05) decrease in TFF between the 1 use and 3 use of 25/06 file size. The ARF significantly (p<0.05) decreased between as received and 3 use within each file size. In addition, there was a significant (p<0.05) difference between as received and 1 use files of 20/06 and 25/06 file sizes; between 1 use and 3 use files of 25/06 and 30/06 file sizes. Conclusions: Within each specific file size, there is a trend of decreasing TFF and ARF with increased usage. Between the different file size groups, there is a significant (p<0.05) increase in TFF and AR to file separation with increase in file size.

Chicago Youths’ Community Violence Exposure: Spatial Dynamics of Violence and Psychological Functioning
Creators: name: Daviera, Andrea
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This study explored where and when community violence exposure (CVE) matters for psychological functioning in a sample of low-income, racial/ethnic minority youth (M) age = 16.04, 53.3 % female, 65.8% Black, and 26.9% Hispanic) living in Chicago. CVE was measured with violent crime data that was geocoded in terms of distance from youths’ home and school addresses, then calculated in terms of three distinct spatial dynamics, including chronicity, pervasiveness, and spatial proximity. I tested the relationship between each CVE spatial dynamic and state and trait anxiety and behavioral and cognitive dysregulation while controlling for direct violent victimization (DVV) to examine how objective CVE occurring within youths’ neighborhood context matters beyond direct violence exposure. Results from hierarchical multiple regression analyses revealed that long-term chronic, pervasive, and spatially proximal CVE was related to increases in behavioral dysfunction while delineated home and school-based CVE interacted to predict trait anxiety. Measuring CVE within both home and school neighborhoods at specific spatial measurements and time frames is critical to understand and prevent the consequences of CVE. The results infer that mental health supports are needed for all youth who inhabit and attend schools in violent neighborhoods and not just those who are directly victimized.

The Evolution of Advanced Merger (U)LIRGs on the Color-Stellar Mass Diagram

description: Based on a sample of 79 local advanced merger (adv-merger) (U)LIRGs, we search for the evidence of quenching process by investigating the distributions of the star formation history indicators (EW(H$α$), EW(H$δ$$_A$) and D$_n(4000)$) on the NUV-r color-mass and SFR-$M_{\ast}$ diagrams. The distributions of the EW(H$α$) and D$_n(4000)$ on the NUV-r color-mass diagram show clear trends that at a given stellar mass, galaxies with redder NUV-r colors have smaller EW(H$α$) and larger D$_n(4000)$. The reddest adv-merger (U)LIRGs close to the green valley have D$_n(4000)$$>1.4$ mostly. In addition, in the SFR-$M_{\ast}$ diagram, as the SFR decreases, the EW(H$α$) decreases and the D$_n(4000)$ increases, implying that the adv-merger (U)LIRGs on the star formation main sequence have more evolved stellar populations than those above the main sequence. These results indicate that a fraction of the adv-merger (U)LIRGs have already exhibited signs of fading from the starburst phase and that the NUV-r reddest adv-merger (U)LIRGs are likely at the initial stage of post-starbursts with age of $\sim 1$ Gyr, which is consistent with the gas exhausting time-scales. Therefore, our results offer additional support for the fast evolutionary track from the blue cloud to the red sequence.

Machine Learning Methods for Adaptive Test Case Generation for Android Activities

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In the following Thesis work, we'll illustrate both the design and implementation of a testing framework for Android applications, which is able to adapt its execution according to the type of app under examination. The system is very modular, and as such can be divided into four phases. First, a logic model of the whole user interface is automatically built by traversing the screens' layout, while also performing a UI stress test. Then, thanks to machine learning algorithms, we are able to classify the entire application into a category, and the same is done with the app's activities. In this way, we are able to gain some insights about the expected structure and behavior of each screen, allowing us to perform the last phase, which is the execution of test scripts written in a specifically-tailored custom language. The user has to write a suite of test cases, where each one is fired upon encountering a specific category of activity. The suite consists of a succession of adaptive commands which are able to interpret the current screen layout to perform an action with a given semantic value. In this way, the user has just to write a single test script that can be recycled on many other instances, without needing to rewrite it to conform to new or modified UI layouts.

Isentropic thermodynamics and scalar-mesons properties near the QCD critical end point

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate the QCD phase diagram and the location of the critical end point (CEP) in the SU(2) Polyakov$-$Nambu$-$Jona-Lasinio model with entanglement interaction giving special attention to the $π$ and $σ$-mesons properties, namely the decay widths $σ\rightarrowππ$, for several conditions around the CEP: we focus on the possible $σ\rightarrowππ$ decay along the isentropic trajectories close to the CEP since the hydrodynamical expansion of a heavy-ion collision fireball nearly follows trajectories of constant entropy. It is expected that the type of transition the dense medium goes through as it expands after the thermalization determines the behavior of this decay. It is shown that no pions are produced from the sigma decay in the chirally symmetric phase if the isentropic lines approach the first order line from chemical potentials above it. Near the CEP or above the $σ\rightarrowππ$ decay is possible with a high decay width.

Understanding Mechanisms of Vulnerability During Adolescence: A Role for Perineuronal Nets
Creators: name: Jacobs-Brichford, Eliza
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: A hallmark of adolescent brain development is the establishment of a finely-tuned excitatory-inhibitory (E-I) balance in the prefrontal cortex (PFC). This balance, which comes online as inhibitory signaling is refined, helps regulate neuron activity and is essential for the acquisition of higher cognitive function, such as decision-making, in adulthood. It is widely accepted that the maturation of parvalbumin-containing (PV+) interneurons is critical for developing E-I balance, as PV+ interneurons are known to regulate excitability of other cells. Interestingly, approximately 70% of PV+ interneurons in PFC are surrounded by perineuronal nets (PNNs), a lattice-like structure that forms around them during critical periods of development and regulates their plasticity. Drugs of abuse are known to affect PNNs in adulthood, but few researchers have studied the impact of drug use on PNNs during development. Cannabis, the most commonly used illicit drug among adolescents, is known to alter E-I balance by disrupting the development of PV+ cells, so we began by investigating whether cannabis might be exerting its effects by disrupting PNN development and making PV+ cells vulnerable to insult. Addiitionally, this work explored whether disruptions in PFC PNNs would lead to functional deficits in decision-making, a PFC dependent behavior. If this is the case, then PNNs may be one neurobiological mechanism that underlies the effects of cannabis on the developing brain. Enhancing our understanding of both the immediate and lasting effects of cannabinoids on the developing brain will elucidate the consequences of substance use during adolescence, with implications for the study of addiction and adolescent-onset psychiatric disorders, as well as cannabis policy.

description: Unsupervised evaluation of segmentation quality is a crucial step in image segmentation applications. Previous unsupervised evaluation methods usually lacked the adaptability to multi-scale segmentation. A scale-constrained evaluation method that evaluates segmentation quality according to the specified target scale is proposed in this paper. First, regional saliency and merging cost are employed to describe intra-region homogeneity and inter-region heterogeneity, respectively. Subsequently, both of them are standardized into equivalent spectral distances of a predefined region. Finally, by analyzing the relationship between image characteristics and segmentation quality, we establish the evaluation model. Experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms four commonly used unsupervised methods in multi-scale evaluation tasks.

description: The differential Optical Transfer Function (dOTF) is a focal plane wavefront sensing method that uses a diversity in the pupil plane to generate two different focal plane images. The difference of their Fourier transforms recovers the complex amplitude of the pupil down to the spatial scale of the diversity. We produce two simultaneous PSF images with diversity using a polarizing filter at the edge of the telescope pupil, and a polarization camera to simultaneously record the two images. Here we present the first on-sky demonstration of polarization dOTF at the 1.0m South African Astronomical Observatory telescope in Sutherland, and our attempt to validate it with simultaneous Shack-Hartmann wavefront sensor images.

description: We stabilize a chip-scale Si3N4 phase-locked Kerr frequency comb via locking the pump laser to an independent stable high-Q reference microresonator and locking the comb spacing to an external microwave oscillator. In this comb, the pump laser shift induces negligible impact on the comb spacing change. This scheme is a step towards miniaturization of the stabilized Kerr comb system as the microresonator reference can potentially be integrated on-chip. Fractional instability of the optical harmonics of the stabilized comb is limited by the microwave oscillator used for comb spacing lock below 1 s averaging time and coincides with the pump laser drift in the long term.

description: The block medium is modeled by a discrete-periodic spatial lattice of masses connected by elastic springs and viscous dampers. To describe the viscoelastic behavior of the interblock layers, a rheological model of internal friction with two Maxwell elements and one Voigt element with the quality factor of the material as the determining parameter is proposed. Numerical experiments show that, within the framework of this interlayer model, it is possible to select the viscosity and stiffness of the Maxwell and Voigt elements so that the quality factor of the material differs from the given constant value by no more than 5%. In the one-dimensional case, within the framework of the proposed model, the influence of the quality factor on the dispersion properties of a block medium is studied and it is shown that the greatest effect of the quality factor on the dispersion is observed in the low-frequency part of the spectrum. In the three-dimensional case, within the framework of the proposed model, some geomechanical problems are numerically studied for a block half-space under the action of a surface concentrated vertical load. Namely, the attenuation of the velocity amplitudes of surface blocks was studied depending on the Q-factor under step action and under the action of a Gaussian pulse. In addition, we study a layer on the surface of a half-space under the action of a concentrated vertical impulse load in the case when both the layer and the half-space are block media but have different properties.

description: We have developed a novel prediction method based on string invariants. The method does not require learning but a small set of parameters must be set to achieve optimal performance. We have implemented an evolutionary algorithm for the parametric optimization. We have tested the performance of the method on artificial and real world data and compared the performance to statistical methods and to a number of artificial intelligence methods. We have used data and the results of a prediction competition as a benchmark. The results show that the method performs well in single step prediction but the methods performance for multiple step prediction needs to be improved. The method works well for a wide range of parameters.

description: LkCa 15 is an extensively studied star in the Taurus region known for its pre-transitional disk with a large inner cavity in dust continuum and normal gas accretion rate. The most popular hypothesis to explain the LkCa 15 data invokes one or more planets to carve out the inner cavity, while gas continues to flow across the gap from the outer disk onto the central star. We present spatially unresolved HCO+ J=4-3 observations of the LkCa 15 disk from the JCMT and model the data with the ProDiMo code. We find that: (1) HCO+ line-wings are clearly detected, certifying the presence of gas in the cavity within <50 AU of the star. (2) Reproducing the observed line-wing flux requires both a significant suppression of cavity dust (by a factor >10^4 compared to the ISM) and a substantial increase in the gas scale-height within the cavity (H_0/R_0 ~ 0.6). An ISM dust-to-gas ratio (d:g=10^-2) yields too little line-wing flux regardless of the scale-height or cavity gas geometry, while a smaller scale-height also under predicts the flux even with a reduced d:g. (3) The cavity gas mass is consistent with the surface density profile of the outer disk extended inwards to the sublimation radius (corresponding to mass M_d ~ 0.03 M_sun), and masses lower by a factor >10 appear to be ruled out.

description: Tetrapod remains are extremely rare in the early Carnian (Late Triassic) Calcare del Predil Formation on the Italian side of the Julian Alps (Friuli Venezia Giulia Autonomous Region), which yielded the Raibl fossil assemblage including the famous "Raibl ichthyofauna". A new tanystropheid archosauromorph, Raibliania calligarisi, is here named based on a partial skeleton found in this formation along the Prasnig Brook. The new taxon is similar to Tanystropheus, sharing with it the very elongated cervical vertebrae, but is characterized by the presence of relatively large button-like teeth; apex of the neural spines not transversely thickened; articular facets on the upper corners of the neural spines of the dorsal vertebrae; short and distally pointed pleurapophyses of the second and last 'lumbar' vertebra; ilium with a long preacetabular process bearing a robust and transversely thick tuberosity and a medial ridge bordering the entire ventral part of the iliac blade; and pubis with a cranial process. Tanystropheids lived in the present day Alps and Prealps of Friuli Venezia Giulia Region from the late Anisian to the mid-late Norian and were an important component of the coastal reptile faunas, although they were less common than eusauropterygians and placodonts during the early Carnian. Tanystropheids with extremely elongated cervical vertebrae are reported in this area from the upper Anisian to the lower Carnian.

Practical Analysis of 802.11 Single Antenna IBFD Systems

description: A shared wireless channel with limited resources and an exponential increase in the number of wireless devices and the enormous data rates motivated the researchers to innovate solutions that improve the spectral efficiency within the available spectrum bands. Most current wireless standards share a channel on Half-Duplex principle, where the transmission and the reception of signals are occurring in two separate time slots or two different frequency bands. Even though technologies like MIMO, OFDM have hugely improved the spectral efficiency of the wireless communications, to fulfill the future data and the growing user demands, even more advanced techniques are needed in the ultrahigh frequency (UHF) band, which perhaps is the most congested piece of the spectrum. To overcome this spectrum scarcity, wireless In-Band Full-Duplex (IBFD) communication is the recent advancement in the next steps towards the full utilization of the spectral resources. In an IBFD system, a transceiver can transmit and receive simultaneously using the same carrier frequency. This theoretically doubles the spectral efficiency and avoids the usage of separate frequency bands for transmission and reception. Nevertheless, an IBFD system suffers from self-interference from the strong transmit signal coupling back into its own receiver chain, which has to be mitigated for the efficient operation of the full-duplex system. In this thesis, work has been presented on, 1) Surveying full-duplex with its brief history and recent advances, 2) Critical analysis on widely implemented methods of self-interference cancellation in propagation, analog, and digital domains, 3) A selected digital least square channel and SI model estimation method is expanded, 4) Performance of the cancellation methods are evaluated with real-time hardware impairments using MATLAB simulations, and 5) Practical implementation of IBFD systems using software defined radios (SDRs). The obtained residual SI show that, with the help of these SI cancelers, the SI can be canceled almost perfectly, proving that a true IBFD operation is indeed possible. This demonstration on the implementation of an IBFD transceiver under practical constraints paves the way towards the commercial deployment of IBFD radio transceivers.

description: The birth of the first luminous sources and the ensuing epoch of reionization are best studied via the redshifted 21-cm emission line, the signature of the first two imprinting the last. In this work we present a fully-Bayesian method, \textsc{hibayes}, for extracting the faint, global (sky-averaged) 21-cm signal from the much brighter foreground emission. We show that a simplified (but plausible), Gaussian model of the 21-cm emission from the Cosmic Dawn epoch ($15 \lesssim z \lesssim 30$), parameterized by an amplitude $A_{\rm HI}$, a frequency peak $ν_{\rm HI}$ and a width $σ_{\rm HI}$, can be extracted even in the presence of a structured foreground frequency spectrum (parameterized as a $7^{\rm th}$-order polynomial), provided sufficient signal-to-noise (400~hours of observation with a single dipole). We apply our method to an early, 19-minute long observation from the Large aperture Experiment to detect the Dark Ages, constraining the 21-cm signal amplitude and width to be $-890 < A_{\rm HI} < 0$ mK and $σ_{\rm HI} > 6.5$ MHz (corresponding to $Δz > 1.9$ at redshift $z \simeq 20$) respectively at the 95-per-cent confidence level in the range $13.2 < z < 27.4$ ($100 > ν> 50$ MHz).

description: It has been proven theoretically for bosons with two-body repulsive interaction potentials in the dilute limit that the Gross-Pitaevskii equation provides the exact energy and density per particle as does the basic many-particle Schroedinger equation [Lieb and Seiringer, Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 170409 (2002)]. Here, we investigate the overlap of the Gross-Pitaevskii and exact ground state wavefunctions. It is found that this overlap is always smaller than unity and may even vanish in spite of the fact that both wavefunctions provide the same energy and density per particle. Consequences are discussed.

description: Nowadays, the hyperspectral remote sensing imagery HSI becomes an important tool to observe the Earth's surface, detect the climatic changes and many other applications. The classification of HSI is one of the most challenging tasks due to the large amount of spectral information and the presence of redundant and irrelevant bands. Although great progresses have been made on classification techniques, few studies have been done to provide practical guidelines to determine the appropriate classifier for HSI. In this paper, we investigate the performance of four supervised learning algorithms, namely, Support Vector Machines SVM, Random Forest RF, K-Nearest Neighbors KNN and Linear Discriminant Analysis LDA with different kernels in terms of classification accuracies. The experiments have been performed on three real hyperspectral datasets taken from the NASA's Airborne Visible/Infrared Imaging Spectrometer Sensor AVIRIS and the Reflective Optics System Imaging Spectrometer ROSIS sensors. The mutual information had been used to reduce the dimensionality of the used datasets for better classification efficiency. The extensive experiments demonstrate that the SVM classifier with RBF kernel and RF produced statistically better results and seems to be respectively the more suitable as supervised classifiers for the hyperspectral remote sensing images. Keywords: hyperspectral images, mutual information, dimension reduction, Support Vector Machines, K-Nearest Neighbors, Random Forest, Linear Discriminant Analysis.

description: Compilers and pRogram Analysis and Testing tool (RAT) are software programs whose correctness aﬀects in a signiﬁcant way the quality and the performance of the software implemented in any production sector. Compilers are primarily essential for code design and implementation in terms of run time performance, reliability and even security of an application. Thus, testing compilers and RAT tools for discovering vulnerabilities and anomalies is in the best interest for any organization whose software is a core asset. Software and academic organizations have approached with diﬀerent methodologies the problem of testing compilers. Formal methods are good for expressing constraints but do not a priori guarantee correctness. Moreover, it is diﬃcult to formalize a model and avoid ambiguity when using formal methods. Another possible approach is automated testing, which refers to the process of generating random programs as benchmarks. In this work, we propose ProGen, a functional programming framework for generating random Java programs. ProGen aims at combining both previously mentioned methods; a Prolog formal speciﬁcation of the Java Language Speciﬁcation validates the work of an automated program generator. The result from the application of this framework are syntactically correct programs in a subset of Java. We have used Scala as our functional programming language for allowing greater testability of the application. Finally, we let the user specify parameters related to the generation properties, for example, the number of classes and the primitive types, to let the application be highly customizable and conﬁgurable.

description: Retinal ischemia is a leading cause for impaired vision and retinal degradation. The traditional therapies focus on preventing the disease advancement and use intravitreal injections (anti- Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF)), eye drops or laser treatment. Though effective in treating the symptoms, the underlying issue remains unaddressed. Stem cell therapy using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has been evaluated as an experimental treatment option. Although traditionally isolated from the bone marrow, in this regard, dental pulp derived MSCs (DPSCs) can be ideal cells owing to their neural crest origin. However, drawbacks such as aberrant differentiation, dosage, cellular attachment and survival rates have hampered translational feasibility. On the other hand, MSC derived exosomes have been shown to be the principal agents of MSC paracrine function. In this study we genetically modified the DPSCs for exosome-specific expression of miR424 and tested DPSC derived Exosomes and engineered DPSC Exosomes to treat R28 retinal cells. The results indicated Exosomes being endocytosed by retinal cells in vitro in a dose, temperature dependent and saturable manner. Also, the uptake of Exosomes by retinal cells significantly increased retinal neuronal cell proliferation. When treated with Exosomes in simulated ischemic conditions (oxygen-glucose deprivation), control and engineered exosomes reduced cell death. Finally, we determined that both naïve and engineered exosomes can bind to extracellular matrix proteins such as type I collagen, fibronectin and the vitreous humor of the eye indicating that they can be delivered site-specifically, tethered to biomaterials. Overall, this study highlights the potential of DPSC-Exosomes in neuroprotection and regenerative therapy for ischemic retinal disorders and provides an insight into their applicability for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine in general.

Perfect Fingerprint Orientation Fields by Locally Adaptive Global Models

description: Fingerprint recognition is widely used for verification and identification in many commercial, governmental and forensic applications. The orientation field (OF) plays an important role at various processing stages in fingerprint recognition systems. OFs are used for image enhancement, fingerprint alignment, for fingerprint liveness detection, fingerprint alteration detection and fingerprint matching. In this paper, a novel approach is presented to globally model an OF combined with locally adaptive methods. We show that this model adapts perfectly to the 'true OF' in the limit. This perfect OF is described by a small number of parameters with straightforward geometric interpretation. Applications are manifold: Quick expert marking of very poor quality (for instance latent) OFs, high fidelity low parameter OF compression and a direct road to ground truth OFs markings for large databases, say. In this contribution we describe an algorithm to perfectly estimate OF parameters automatically or semi-automatically, depending on image quality, and we establish the main underlying claim of high fidelity low parameter OF compression.
Understanding of Coal Chemistry and Synthesis of Carbon Nano-Materials

description: Since the time of its discovery in 2004, graphene has attracted researchers in the field of nanotechnology because of tremendous and wide range applications[1][2][3]. However, its mass production was restricted to graphite as a starting material. To offset the high cost of graphite, coal, being inexpensive, abundant in nature and with major content carbon is the best choice to replace graphite in addition to being used as source of energy. In this work, we discuss (i) the molecular structure of coal and thermally treated coal via spectroscopic and electrical characterizations, (ii) the chemistry of exfoliating graphene from coal. In the beginning, few and discontinuous areas of graphene oxide were produced following modified Hummer’s method, after characterized for the inelastic vibrations of sp2 bonded carbons. The defect induced A1g (D band) mode with Raman shift of 1352 cm-1 and the E2g (G band) in-plane vibrations of carbon atoms at 1596 cm-1 for raw coal and 1377 cm-1 (D band) and 1592 cm-1 (G band) for thermally treated coal were observed. The D to G peak intensity ratios (ID/IG) for raw coal and thermally treated coal were 1.004 and 0.95 respectively. In order to achieve highly uniform and continuous surface of graphene oxide and to avoid the damage of the aromatic portion of coal by the high oxidizing agent (KMnO4), we developed a use of low oxidizing agent (NaNO2) since coal has incompact structure and requires partial oxidation to exfoliate its crystalline portion. We can find a larger area of graphene oxide coverage with D band at 1352 cm-1 and G band at 1584 cm-1 and ID/IG of 0.99.

Contrast and phase-shift of a trapped atom interferometer using a thermal ensemble with internal state labelling

description: We report a theoretical study of a double-well Ramsey interferometer using internal state labelling. We consider the use of a thermal ensemble of cold atoms rather than a Bose-Einstein condensate to minimize the effects of atomic interactions. To maintain a satisfactory level of coherence in this case, a high degree of symmetry is required between the two arms of the interferometer. Assuming that the splitting and recombination processes are adiabatic, we theoretically derive the phase-shift and the contrast of such an interferometer in the presence of gravity or an acceleration field. We also consider using a "shortcut to adiabaticity" protocol to speed up the splitting process and discuss how such a procedure affects the phase shift and contrast. We find that the two procedures lead to phase-shifts of the same form.
