title: Cerebral wave organics I: music for orchestra : 2011-2012
Creators: name: McCunn, Ian D.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2012

description:
In this work, orchestral color takes on a nebulous quality as it changes over time. The first major portion of the piece is driven by a single melody which typifies each subsection. As this melody repeats, it is sometimes veiled by orchestral color and strata in a pandiatonic fashion, with foreign pitches progressively thwarting its consonance. Rhythmic stratification takes on a stochastic quality and various musical events may support or combat motivic and thematic elements over time. The middle section is the culmination of stochastic rhythmic ideas and where motivic elements are derived from earlier ideas but now articulated through an atonal lens (melodic contours are maintained but pitches are altered). The idea of pandiatonicism returns as the piece reaches an apex with multiple layers of rhythmic syncopation and groupings. The piece closes with the return of the piece's opening texture which, like earlier sections, occurs seemingly by happenstance.
Isolation based anomaly detection: a re-examination

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Anomalies are instances that do not conform to the norm of a dataset. They are often indicators of interesting events such as deliberate human actions, system faults, sudden changes in the environment etc. Detecting anomalies can provide information about such events. Therefore, anomaly detection is an important data mining task which is utilised in many application domains such as intrusion detection, fraud detection, detection of disease conditions, and fault diagnosis. With the improvements in data collection and processing technologies, databases are on a course of an explosive growth in both size and number of attributes. Such growth is challenging for anomaly detection approaches because of the required scale of efficiency to handle such datasets. iForest is a recently introduced anomaly detector which is unique in the literature because it uses an isolation mechanism to identify anomalies without any distance or density calculations. The core strength of iForest is its exceptional efficiency which enables it to scaleup to very large datasets. It has been shown to perform competitively with the existing state-of-the-art anomaly detectors in datasets with several attributes. This thesis re-examines iForest to identify its strengths and weaknesses in different application settings. Three key weaknesses of iForest are identified as follows: deficiency in detecting local anomalies, anomalies masked by axis parallel normal clusters, and anomalies in multi-modal datasets. A novel isolation method is designed that employs an alternative isolation mechanism. This proposed isolation mechanism employs nearest-neighbour distance to perform isolation which is designed to be capable of overcoming the identified weaknesses of iForest. Subsequently, a hybrid isolation method which combines both the proposed isolation mechanism and the isolation mechanism of iForest is designed to harness the strengths of both mechanisms. Empirical evidence is provided to show that the proposed methods can overcome the identified weaknesses of iForest and that they are also able to scaleup efficiently to datasets of a large size and with a large number of attributes. The performance with benchmark datasets shows that the proposed methods are competitive with state-of-the-art anomaly detectors.

description: We further explore the correspondence between N=2 supersymmetric SU(2) gauge theory with four flavors on epsilon-deformed backgrounds and conformal field theory, with an emphasis on the epsilon-expansion of the partition function natural from a topological string theory point of view. Solving an appropriate null vector decoupling equation in the semi-classical limit allows us to express the instanton partition function as a series in quasi-modular forms of the group Gamma(2), with the expected symmetry Weyl group of SO(8) semi-direct S_3. In the presence of an elementary surface operator, this symmetry is enhanced to an action of the affine Weyl group of SO(8) semi-direct S_4 on the instanton partition function, as we demonstrate via the link between the null vector decoupling equation and the quantum Painlevé VI equation.

New more radiation hard technologies have been studied: SiGe bipolar, Si CMOS FET and GaAs FET transistors have been irradiated with neutrons up to an integrated fluence of 2.2 \cdot 10^{16} n/cm2 and with 200 MeV protons up to an integrated fluence of 2.6 \cdot 10^{14} p/cm2. Comparisons of transistor parameters such as the gain for both types of irradiations are presented.

Independent component filter based adaptive texture features applied to content-based image retrieval
Creators: name: Mohammed, Nabeel
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2017
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In this research we concentrate on adaptive texture feature extractors which are automatically extracted from an image collection. We use independent component analysis (ICA) to extract independent component filters (ICF). ICF have previously been shown to include edge filters, having properties similar to the receptive fields of simple cells of the human visual cortex. In this thesis we evaluate the utility of ICF-based collection-specific features in the context of content-based image retrieval (CBIR), with the view to demonstrate the viability of using such automatic collection-specific features. We find that global features extracted using a small number of ICF outperform those extracted by a bank of Gabor filters, even when very large number of Gabors are used. We also present comparisons against a variety of state-of-the-art features and show that ICF-based features perform better than these, without the need for any hand-tuning. ICA extracts large number of filters. In order to find a useful smaller subset we evaluate a previously-published variance-based filter selection method. We identify the shortcomings of this method. Our proposed improvements to filter-based feature selection and extraction, response scaling and locally normalised convolution, was a result of trying to address some of these shortcomings. Even with these improvements the variance-based method has an intrinsic flaw of being susceptible to selecting redundant filters. We propose a new filter selection method based on normalised cross-correlation and clustering. We show that our method selects a more useful subset compared to the previously published variance-based method. We also propose a salient-point based local feature which uses ICF and show that our proposed feature performs better than SIFT features and also the global ICF features. We further illustrate the utility of ICFSIFT by developing a grid-based adaptive local feature and we demonstrate that ICFSIFT extracts different and useful information compared to the ICF-based global and grid-based local features. After applying the techniques proposed in this thesis to four standard texture collections, we show that, while hand-tuned features can work well for their target collection, the automatic adaptive features perform better for the general case.

Innovative clusters: a case of Chilean wine clusters

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: In the Chilean wine industry, the lack of resources, as well as the lack of highly developed knowledge sources (from research programs and institutions) and professional workers, have impeded it from reaching a higher position amongst the leaders of wine producing countries. Therefore, experts suggest clustering based on geographic wine zones as the business scheme to compete. Through the brand image of a cluster, wineries could develop activities that would not be possible on their own. Similarly, actions pursued within a cluster may foster an innovation prone atmosphere; therefore wineries may benefit from this innovative scheme, to reach new markets or increase their market share, and finally, to develop competitive advantage. This project uses the Chilean wine industry organized as clusters to ascertain whether the cluster environment fosters the surge, development and implementation of innovative activities based upon an adapted framework namely the Innovation Value Chain (IVC). This model examines the process of innovation as a three-stage process. It was selected as it allows the analysis of the aggregation of individual innovations goals (from persons and individual firms within a cluster) at a cluster level, and how these are developed into commercialized actions. Wineries from one Chilean wine cluster, i.e. the Maule region, were analysed in terms of their IVC framework to explore differences amongst wineries, but also between different stages of innovation in a winery. Results from descriptive and inferential analysis, demonstrated that wineries were innovative, but differences were observed amongst wineries’ innovativeness during the process of innovation development for individual wineries. This highlights the importance of the development of strategies aimed to enhance the extent and quality of networks amongst wineries, but also between wineries and other agents related to and beyond the cluster in order to increase the performance of wineries concerned. This project makes three significant contributions: (1) it describes the performance of clustered wineries with regards to their process of innovation development; (2) it provides recommendations to both wineries’ managers/owners and policy makers on how to face the challenges of the wine industry; and (3) it enhances the understanding of innovation for clustered wineries in Chile. Further work for this project includes statistical test of the IVC framework as well as the use of qualitative data. Moreover, comparisons among wine clusters of different countries would be worth pursuing.

New analysis of the common nuclear dependence of the EMC effect and short-range correlations

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The strong repulsive core of the nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction at short distances prevents nucleons from becoming close to each other. This gives rise to high-momentum nucleons in the nucleus that cannot be explained in the context of the mean field and are commonly called short-range correlations (SRCs). They are responsible for the strength seen in momentum distribution tails seen in all nuclei, and we can obtain a relative measure of SRCs via cross section ratios to light nuclei. Recent inclusive scattering data from Jefferson Lab have allowed a precise determination of the A-dependence of SRCs in nuclei and suggests that, like the EMC effect, it is especially sensitive to the nuclear local density. These new results, as well as a new analysis of the relationship between SRCs and the EMC effect, will be presented and discussed.

title: Obscured geographies of the Emerald City: a study on gentrification in Seattle, WA
Creators: name: White, Jonah D.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2012

description:
The city of Seattle, Washington has received widespread acclaim both in popular literature and scientific research for its sustainable development efforts to improve quality of life and economic vitality. As a reflection of overall quality of life, the city frequently appears on lists of "Best Places to Live" and boasts a unique combination of cultural amenities and recreational opportunities. The city is also home to a robust high-technology economy with a highly-educated, professionalized workforce consistent with postindustrial city status. However, Seattle has not always been an attractive place to live as evidenced by notable population decline between 1960 and 1980. During the next twenty years, from 1980 to 2000, the city witnessed an increase in population characterized by residents with higher socioeconomic status and increased social, economic, and cultural capital. This pattern of upward transitioning in the socioeconomic status within neighborhoods is known as gentrification. My research is based on a set of selected indicators to examine neighborhood change in Seattle between 1980 and 2000 to identify gentrification pattern. Data were collected for each of the 568 census block-groups in the city for the period 1980 to 2000. The discerning characteristics of gentrification are revealed using principal components analysis (PCA). Next, cluster analysis is utilized to identify three distinct forms of gentrification - replacement, core redevelopment, and displacement. Finally, a composite index technique is employed to assess the intensity of gentrification phenomena in Seattle. The gentrification trends presented in this research will enhance discussions and offer perspectives on the divergent traits of gentrification occurring in Seattle, Washington.

description: A general framework for analyzing the recently discovered phase transitions in the steady state of dissipation-driven open quantum systems is still missing. In order to fill this gap we extend the so-called fidelity approach to quantum phase transitions to open systems whose steady state is a Gaussian Fermionic state. We endow the manifold of correlations matrices of steady-states with a metric tensor g measuring the distinguishability distance between solutions corresponding to different set of control parameters. The phase diagram can be then mapped out in terms of the scaling-behavior of g and connections with the Liouvillean gap and the model correlation functions unveiled. We argue that the fidelity approach, thanks to its differential-geometric and information-theoretic nature, provides novel insights on dissipative quantum critical phenomena as well as a general and powerful strategy to explore them.

description: Messara valley is the largest and most productive agricultural region on the island of Crete. The farmland irrigation needs, and the lack of environmental awareness led to groundwater extensive exploitation and substantial drawdown of piezometric surface.  This thesis aims to evaluate ground subsidence resulting from groundwater overexploitation in the area of Vagionia - Asimi.  Land subsidence mechanism was analyzed, and the kinematic behavior of the formations was simulated by finite element software. The expected land deformations were evaluated in relation to the aquifer exploitation and the results were compared with land subsidence estimated by other investigation methods.

description: We give two theorems which show that the Lie point and the Noether symmetries of a second-order ordinary differential equation of the form (D/(Ds))(((Dx^{i}(s))/(Ds)))=F(x^{i}(s),x^{j}(s)) are subalgebras of the special projective and the homothetic algebra of the space respectively. We examine the possible extension of this result to partial differential equations (PDE) of the form A^{ij}u_{ij}-F(x^{i},u,u_{i})=0 where u(x^{i}) and u_{ij} stands for the second partial derivative. We find that if the coefficients A^{ij} are independent of u(x^{i}) then the Lie point symmetries of the PDE form a subgroup of the conformal symmetries of the metric defined by the coefficients A^{ij}. We specialize the study to linear forms of F(x^{i},u,u_{i}) and write the Lie symmetry conditions for this case. We apply this result to two cases. The wave equation in an inhomogeneous medium for which we derive the Lie symmetry vectors and check our results with those in the literature. Subsequently we consider the heat equation with a flux in an n-dimensional Riemannian space and show that the Lie symmetry algebra is a subalgebra of the homothetic algebra of the space. We discuss this result in the case of de Sitter space time and in flat space.

description: Motivated by recent experiments on generation of wave patterns by a polariton condensate incident on a localized obstacle, we study the characteristics of such flows under the condition that irreversible processes play a crucial role in the system. The dynamics of a non-resonantly pumped polariton condensate in a quasi-one-dimensional quantum wire is modeled by a Gross-Pitaevskii equation with additional phenomenological terms accounting for the dissipation and pumping processes. The response of the condensate flow to an external potential describing a localized obstacle is considered in the weak-perturbation limit and also in the nonlinear regime. The transition from a viscous drag to a regime of wave resistance is identified and studied in detail.

description: Study of the neutrinoless double beta decay, $0νββ$, includes a variety of problems of nuclear structure theory. They are reviewed here. The problems range from the mechanism of the decay, i.e. exchange of the light Majorana neutrino neutrino versus the exchange of some heavy, so far unobserved particle. Next, the proper expressions for the corresponding operator are described that should include the effects of the nucleon size and of the recoil order terms in the hadronic current. The issue of proper treatment of the short range correlations, in particular for the case of the heavy particle exchange, is discussed also. The variety of methods employed these days in the theoretical evaluation of the nuclear matrix elements $M^{0ν}$ is briefly described and the difficulties causing the spread and hence uncertainty in the values of $M^{0ν}$ are discussed. Finally, the issue of the axial current quenching, and of the resonance enhancement in the case of double electron capture are described.

An Assessment of the world wine auction marketplace
Creators: name: Bowden, Michael M.
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2008

description: The fine wine marketplace has exploded in recent years, especially within the United States. Driven from super-heated prices this year [2007], American and European wine auctions sponsored by English-language houses realized at least US$333,209,438 in revenues this year, up from last year's [2006] US$242,803,251 (Goldberg, 2007). It should also be noted that Peter D. Meltzer, from Wine Spectator magazine, stated that "worldwide auctions of fine and rare wines rose 25 percent over 2006 to hit a record $301 million in sales, according to figures just released by the major auction houses" (Meltzer, 2008, P. 128). This charge, especially in the United States, is being led by the two premier auction houses. Acker Merrall and Condit and Zachys both located in New York State have monopolized the auction marketplace within the United States combining for over $100 million in sales which equates to over a 33% stake in world marketplace. Acker is not new in this realm of setting the market standard.
First results from the NPDGamma experiment at the Spallation Neutron Source
Creators: name: Fomin, Nadia
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The NPDGamma experiment aims to measure the parity-odd correlation between the neutron spin and the direction of the emitted photon in neutron-proton capture. A parity violating asymmetry (to be measured to 10$^{-8}$) from this process can be directly related to the strength of the hadronic weak interaction between nucleons, specifically the $Δ$I=1 contribution. As part of the commissioning runs on the Fundamental Neutron Physics beamline at the Spallation Neutron Source (SNS) at ORNL, the gamma-ray asymmetries from the parity-violating capture of cold neutrons on $^{35}$Cl and $^{27}$Al were measured, to check for systematic effects, false asymmetries, and backgrounds. Early this year, the parahydrogen target for the production run of NPDGamma was commissioned. Preliminary results for the commissioning measurements with $^{35}$Cl and $^{27}$Al will be presented as well as first results of the hydrogen run.

Global CKM Fits with the Scan Method

description: We present results of a unitary triangle fit based on the scan method. This frequentist approach employs Gaussian uncertainties for experimental quantities, but makes no arbitrary assumptions about the distribution of theoretical errors. Instead, we perform a large number of fits, scanning over regions of plausible theory errors for each quantity, and retain those fits meeting a specific confidence level criterion, thereby constraining the $\bar ρ- \bar η$ plane using the standard input measurements (CKM matrix elements, $\sin2 β, B^0_{d,s}$ mixing, $ε_K$) as well as branching fraction and \CP asymmetry measurements of B decays to $PP, PV, VV$, and $a_1 P$ final states to determine $α$, $D^{(*)}K^{(*)}$ modes to determine $γ$, and $D^{(*)}π$ and $Dρ$ modes to determine $2β+γ$. We parameterize individual decay amplitudes in terms of color-allowed tree, color-suppressed tree, penguin, singlet penguin, electroweak penguin, as well as $W$-exchange and $W$-annihilation amplitudes. With this parameterization, we obtain a good fit to the measured branching fractions and \CP asymmetries within the Standard Model {\it ansatz}, with no new physics contributions. This simultaneous fit allows us to determine the correlation between $α$ and $β$ as well as between $γ$ and $β$.

Chemical Kinetics and Thermal Hydraulics of Lead Bismuth Flow Loops
Creators: name: Dasika, Kanthi Kiran
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2003

description: The objective of the thesis is to study the effect of chemical kinetics and thermal hydraulics of Lead Bismuth Eutectic (LBE) flow in the Materials Test Loop (MTL). The Materials Test Loop, also known as the Delta Loop, was built in Los Alamos National Laboratories (LANL) to obtain the experimental data for corrosion estimation and analysis. It is a well-known fact that corrosion plays an important role in the design of nuclear thermal hydraulic systems. Since the MTL is a multi-section closed system that differs in diameter from one part to another, an intensive study on the overall and regional corrosion distribution is necessary and valuable. In previous studies, experimental data on this research area is very limited and far from accurate and complete. Flow simulations using a commercial Computational Fluid Dynamics code, analysis of the flow dynamics and estimation of corrosion in the MTL due to the LBE flow, by assuming simplified geometries for the MTL, are the topics of discussion. For the flow analysis and corrosion estimation, three simplified geometries of the MTL have been assumed, results from one assumption leading to the other. Wall concentrations obtained from previous analytical studies have been used to impose the boundary conditions on the model. Results from flow simulation and theoretical analyses have been compared which seem to be in good agreement. The improvement in this work is the prediction of the corrosion flux at elbows due to the multidirectional nature of the flow. The results are beneficial for the future design of the thermal hydraulic loop to minimize corrosion at critical points.

CFD Analysis of 3-D Thermalhydraulics Flow Effects on Wall Concentration Gradient Profiles for LBE Loop Fittings
Creators: name: Armbya, Narain
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2004

description: The objective of the thesis is to study the effects of thermalhydraulics flows on the wall concentration gradient profiles in LBE loop fittings. To that end detailed models of the fittings have been constructed to study these effects. These fittings include sudden expansion, sudden contraction, t-joint and elbow. The typical flow rates chosen for these simulations are typical of design criteria chosen for the loop with Reynolds numbers expected around 200,000 and the usual axial temperature profiles which are being characterized in the DELTA loop at LANL. STAR-CD is the simulation package used to make these predictions, which include detailed 3-D velocity, temperature and concentration gradient profiles of the corrosion/precipitation on the inner surface of these fittings. The different predicted variables from these simulations indicate that special attention needs to be placed when designing loops with these fittings especially in the regions of sudden velocity changes and stagnation zones. These wall gradients can determine eventually the expected longevity of these fittings in an LBE flow environment. Presently though very little experimental data exists that would be suitable to corroborate the simulation results. Graphs of concentration gradient v/s distance from the inlet of these fittings were plotted. Eventually these individual fitting models will become part of an overall closed loop that will yield more realistic core concentration values and hence more realistic wall gradient values, which are dependent on these core values.

Cluster adjusted regression for displaced subject data ( CARDS ): Marginal inference under potentially informative temporal cluster size profiles: Cluster Adjusted Regression for Displaced Subject Data

description: Ignorance of the mechanisms responsible for the availability of information presents an unusual problem for analysts. It is often the case that the availability of information is dependent on the outcome. In the analysis of cluster data we say that a condition for informative cluster size (ICS) exists when the inference drawn from analysis of hypothetical balanced data varies from that of inference drawn on observed data. Much work has been done in order to address the analysis of clustered data with informative cluster size; examples include Inverse Probability Weighting (IPW), Cluster Weighted Generalized Estimating Equations (CWGEE), and Doubly Weighted Generalized Estimating Equations (DWGEE). When cluster size changes with time, i.e., the data set possess temporally varying cluster sizes (TVCS), these methods may produce biased inference for the underlying marginal distribution of interest. We propose a new marginalization that may be appropriate for addressing clustered longitudinal data with TVCS. The principal motivation for our present work is to analyze the periodontal data collected by Beck et al. (1997, Journal of Periodontal Research 6, 497–505). Longitudinal periodontal data often exhibits both ICS and TVCS as the number of teeth possessed by participants at the onset of study is not constant and teeth as well as individuals may be displaced throughout the study.
