description: We present the main ingredients of twistor theory leading up to and including the Penrose-Ward transform in a coordinate algebra form which we can then `quantise' by means of a functorial cocycle twist. The quantum algebras for the conformal group, twistor space CP^3, compactified Minkowski space CMh and the twistor correspondence space are obtained along with their canonical quantum differential calculi, both in a local form and in a global *-algebra formulation which even in the classical commutative case provides a useful alternative to the formulation in terms of projective varieties. We outline how the Penrose-Ward transform then quantises. As an example, we show that the pull-back of the tautological bundle on CMh pulls back to the basic instanton on S^4\subset CMh and that this observation quantises to obtain the Connes-Landi instanton on θ-deformed S^4 as the pull-back of the tautological bundle on our θ-deformed CMh. We likewise quantise the fibration CP^3--> S^4 and use it to construct the bundle on θ-deformed CP^3 that maps over under the transform to the θ-deformed instanton.

description: We prove Malgrange's conjecture on the absence of confluence phenomena for integrable meromorphic connections. More precisely, if $ Y\to X$ is a complex-analytic fibration by smooth curves, $Z$ a hypersurface of $Y$ finite over $X$, and $\nabla$ an integrable meromorphic connection on $Y$ with poles along $Z$, then the function which attaches to {\smit x} $\in X$ the sum of the irregularities of the fiber $\nabla_{(x)}$ at the points of $Z_x$ is lower semicontinuous. The proof relies upon a study of the formal structure of integrable meromorphic connections in several variables.

description: We calculate the mass of the vector meson in the chiral symmetry restored vacuum. This is accomplished by separating the four quark operators appearing in the vector and axial vector meson sum rules into chiral symmetric and symmetry breaking parts depending on the contribution of the fermion zero modes. We then identify each part from the fit to the vector and axial vector meson masses. By taking the chiral symmetry breaking part to be zero while keeping the symmetric operator to the vacuum value, we find that the chiral symmetric part of the vector and axial vector meson mass to be between 550 and 600 MeV. This demonstrates that chiral symmetry breaking, while responsible for the mass difference between chiral partner, accounts only for a small fraction of the symmetric part of the mass.

The effects of physical and biological oceanographic factors on marine growth of Fraser river sockeye salmon
Creators: name: Cox, Sean Patrick
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The average size at maturity of sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) in the northeast Pacific Ocean varies considerably from year to year: It is generally accepted that the majority of variation in size at maturity of sockeye salmon is due to variation in marine growth. However, few studies have shown strong linkages between specific oceanographic factors such as temperature, ocean currents, zooplankton production, and salmon abundance and the ultimate size of returning Fraser River sockeye. Using size at maturity data specific for ten Fraser River sockeye stocks I demonstrate that i.) the amount of variation in size at maturity that is due to environment is detectable in spawning ground length samples and ii.) mean size at maturity declined in almost every stock over the period 1954-1993.1 also show that variation in marine growth is strongly associated with changes in sockeye salmon abundance and sea surface temperature in the northeast Pacific Ocean. Marine growth was not correlated to sockeye salmon abundance over the period 1959-1975; however the two were strongly associated during the period 1978- 1992. Annual scale growth increments support the assumption that critical periods for density dependent growth occur during the time when Early Stuart sockeye salmon are present in the Central Gulf of Alaska. If present levels of salmon abundance are maintained during future warmer climates, major declines in size at maturity of sockeye salmon are likely to result due to the combined effects of high temperature, high abundance, and possibly a reduction in the standing crop of prey.

Strong lensing probability for testing TeVeS theory

Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We calculate the strong lensing probability as a function of the image-separation $Δθ$ in TeVeS (tensor-vector-scalar) cosmology, which is a relativistic version of MOND (MOdified Newtonian Dynamics). The lens, often an elliptical galaxy, is modeled by the Hernquist profile. We assume a flat cosmology with $Ω_b=1-Ω_Λ=0.04$ and the simplest interpolating function $μ(x)={\rm min}(1,x)$. For comparison, we recalculated the probabilities for lenses by Singular Isothermal Sphere (SIS) galaxy halos in LCDM with Schechter-fit velocity function. The amplification bias is calculated based on the magnification of the second bright image rather than the total of the two brighter images. Our calculations show that the Hernquist model predicts insufficient but acceptable probabilities in flat TeVeS cosmology compared with the results of the well defined combined sample of Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey (CLASS) and Jodrell Bank/Very Large Array Astrometric Survey (JVAS); at the same time, it predicts higher probabilities than SIS model in LCDM at small image separations.

description: Early and reliable detection of infection is vital for successful treatment. Serum markers such as C-reactive protein (CRP) and procalcitonin (PCT) are known to increase with a time lag. Azurocidin 1 (AZU1) has emerged as a promising marker for septic patients, but its diagnostic value in orthopedic and trauma patients remains unexplored. Between July 2020 and August 2023, all patients necessitating inpatient treatment for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI), peri-implant infection (II), soft tissue infection, chronic osteomyelitis, septic arthrodesis, bone non-union with and without infection were enrolled. Patients undergoing elective total joint arthroplasty (TJA) served as the control group. Blood samples were collected and analyzed for CRP, white blood cell count (WBC), PCT, and AZU1. Based on the inclusion and exclusion criteria 222 patients were included in the study (trauma = 38, soft tissue infection = 75, TJA = 33, PJI/II = 39, others = 37). While sensitivity and specificity were comparably high for AZU1 (0.734/0.833), CRP and PCT had higher specificity (0.542/1 and 0.431/1, respectively), and WBC a slightly higher sensitivity (0.814/0.455) for septic conditions. Taken together, the area under the curve (AUC) showed the highest accuracy for AZU1 (0.790), followed by CRP (0.776), WBC (0.641), and PCT (0.656). The Youden-Index was 0.57 for AZU1, 0.54 for CRP, 0.27 for WBC, and 0.43 for PCT. Elevated AZU1 levels effectively distinguished patients with a healthy condition from those suffering from infection. However, there is evidence suggesting that trauma may influence the release of AZU1. Additional research is needed to validate the diagnostic value of this new biomarker and further explore its potential clinical applications.

Moreover, we prove that amongst all domains with Lipschitz, piecewise smooth boundary and fixed genus, the presence or absence of corners is uniquely determined by the spectrum. This means that corners are an elementary geometric spectral invariant; one can hear corners.

Origin of Superluminal radio jets in GRS 1915+105 and the role of the Plateau state
Creators: name: Yadav, J S
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We have studied the accretion disk during the radio plateau state and the following superluminal relativistic radio jets and have provided a tight correlation between accretion disk and superluminal jet parameters. We find that accretion rate during the plateaux is very high and suggest that the accretion disk during the radio plateaux is always associated with radiation-driven wind. The internal shock forms in the previously generated slowly moving wind (during plateau) with $β$ $\le$ 0.01 as the fast moving discrete jet (usually at the end of plateau) with $β$ $\sim$ 1 catches up and interacts with it. The power of superluminal jet is determined by the strength and speed of these two components; the slow moving wind and the fast moving jet which are related to the accretion disk during the plateau state. Finally, we discuss the implication of this work.

description: We study rotating global AdS solutions in five-dimensional Einstein gravity coupled to a multiplet complex scalar within a cohomogeneity-1 ansatz. The onset of the gravitational and scalar field superradiant instabilities of the Myers-Perry-AdS black hole mark bifurcation points to black resonators and hairy Myers-Perry-AdS black holes, respectively. These solutions are subject to the other (gravitational or scalar) instability, and result in hairy black resonators which contain both gravitational and scalar hair. The hairy black resonators have smooth zero-horizon limits that we call graviboson stars. In the hairy black resonator and graviboson solutions, multiple scalar components with different frequencies are excited, and hence these are multioscillating solutions. The phase structure of the solutions are examined in the microcanonical ensemble, i.e. at fixed energy and angular momenta. It is found that the entropy of the hairy black resonator is never the largest among them. We also find that hairy black holes with higher scalar wavenumbers are entropically dominant and occupy more of phase space than those of lower wavenumbers.

title: Challenging the gold standard: a methodological study of the quality and errors of web tracking data
Creators: name: Bosch Jover, Oriol
Publisher: name: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
Year: 2023

description: Measuring what people consume and do online is crucial across the social sciences. In the last few years, web tracking data has gained popularity, being considered by most as the gold standard for measuring online behaviours. This thesis studies whether this prevailing notion holds true. Specifically, through a combination of traditional survey and computational methods, I assess the quality of web tracking data, its associated errors, and the consequences of these. The thesis is comprised of three distinct papers. In the first paper, inspired by the Total Survey Error, I present a Total Error framework for digital traces collected with Meters (TEM). The TEM framework describes the data generation and the analysis process for web tracking data and documents the sources of bias and variance that may arise in each step of this process. The framework suggests that metered data might indeed be affected by the error sources identified in our framework and, to some extent, biased. The second paper adopts an empirical approach to address a key error identified in the TEM framework: researchers’ failure to capture data from all the devices and browsers that individuals utilize to go online. The paper shows that tracking undercoverage is highly prevalent when using commercial panels. Additionally, through a simulation study, it demonstrates that web tracking estimates, both univariate and multivariate, are often substantially biased due to tracking undercoverage. The third paper explores the validity and reliability of web tracking data when used to measure media exposure. Merging traditional psychometric and computational techniques, I conduct a multiverse analysis to assess the predictive validity and true-score reliability of thousands of web tracking measures of media exposure. The findings show that web tracking measures have an overall low validity but remarkably high reliability. Additionally, results suggest that the design decisions made by researchers when designing web tracking measurements can have a substantial impact on their measurement properties. Collectively, this thesis challenges the prevailing belief in web tracking data as the gold standard to measure online behaviours. Methodologically, it illustrates how computational methods can be used to adapt survey methodology techniques to assess the quality of digital trace data.

description: Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, technology enthusiasts have pushed for digital contact tracing as a critical tool for breaking the COVID-19 transmission chains. Motivated by this push, many countries and companies have created apps that enable digital contact tracing with the goal to identify the chain of transmission from an infected individual to others and enable early quarantine. Digital contact tracing applications like AarogyaSetu in India, TraceTogether in Singapore, SwissCovid in Switzerland, and others have been downloaded hundreds of millions of times. Yet, this technology hasn't seen the impact that we envisioned at the start of the pandemic. Some countries have rolled back their apps, while others have seen low adoption. Therefore, it is prudent to ask what the technology landscape of contact-tracing looks like and what are the missing pieces. We attempt to undertake this task in this paper. We present a high-level review of technologies underlying digital contact tracing, a set of metrics that are important while evaluating different contact tracing technologies, and evaluate where the different technologies stand today on this set of metrics. Our hope is two-fold: (a) Future designers of contact tracing applications can use this review paper to understand the technology landscape, and (b) Researchers can identify and solve the missing pieces of this puzzle so that we are ready to face the rest of the COVID-19 pandemic and any future pandemics. A majority of this discussion is focused on the ability to identify contact between individuals. The questions of ethics, privacy, and security of such contact tracing are briefly mentioned but not discussed in detail.

description: Multi-dimensional arrays are ubiquitous in high-performance computing (HPC), but their absence from the C++ language standard is a long-standing and well-known limitation of their use for HPC. This paper describes the design and implementation of mdspan, a proposed C++ standard multidimensional array view (planned for inclusion in C++23). The proposal is largely inspired by work done in the Kokkos project---a C++ performance-portable programming model deployed by numerous HPC institutions to prepare their code base for exascale-class supercomputing systems. This paper describes the final design of mdspan after a five-year process to achieve consensus in the C++ community. In particular, we will lay out how the design addresses some of the core challenges of performance-portable programming, and how its customization points allow a seamless extension into areas not currently addressed by the C++ Standard but which are of critical importance in the heterogeneous computing world of today's systems. Finally, we have provided a production-quality implementation of the proposal in its current form. This work includes several benchmarks of this implementation aimed at demonstrating the zero-overhead nature of the modern design.
Baudelaire Manet et la modernité parisienne

description: L'un des traits les plus remarquables du temps de Baudelaire et de Manet fut la croissance rapide de Paris. Cette mutation, constituant peut-etre la plus importante realisation de l'urbanisme du Second Empire, puise son origine dans le programme de reconstruction lance par le Baron Haussmann, Prefet de la Seine de 1852 a 1870. Dote d'un budget enorme, Haussmann supprima les vieux taudis et les centres insalubres ou se multipliaient les maladies, tout comme les repaires de criminels, pour y ouvrir d'amples boulevards et y eriger de magnifiques appartements, magasins, theatres, restaurants et cafes aux larges terrasses. Ce nouvel urbanisme, dont Baudelaire et Manet allaient devenir les meilleurs interpretes, devint pour eux un champ de spectacle qu'il fallait conquerir. La diversite des scenes urbaines qui s'y developpaient les interessant au plus haut point, leur objectif fut desormais de peindre des sujets tires non pas du passe classique, mais du present. lis firent la chronique de la societe franchise et illustrerent les themes de la vie moderne: les boulevards aux perspectives redessinees, les pares, les cafes, les lieux de prostitution, le theatre, mais aussi, tout ce qu'il y avait de plus miserable dans la vie moderne, la tristesse, l'ennui, la solitude. Ce memoire se propose de demontrer comment les oeuvres de Baudelaire et de Manet se fondent, et se confondent parfois, non seulement dans une meme vocation, celle d'articuler la modernite en mots et en couleurs, mais, par une vision esthetique et une sensibilite partagees — Baudelaire et Manet suivant une meme attitude sceptique quant a l'aptitude de la vie moderne a apporter le bonheur. Quelques poemes et tableaux de ces deux artistes sont analyses et compares de facon a situer leurs oeuvres par rapport a la modernite parisienne.

description: We compute the screening length of mesons with different angular momentum $J$ from two gravity dual theories. Both the asymptotically $AdS_{5}$ and Sakai-Sugimoto metrics are considered in the calculations. Using the dual description of the quark as a classical string ending on the probe brane, we obtain the interacting potential between the heavy quark and antiquark after rotating the background metric. The result shows that the screening length of mesons with different $J$ is well fit to $a_{J}/T$. The constant $a_{J}$ is determined for $J=0,1,2$ by taking advantage of numerical techniques. Finally, we calculate the drag force and relaxation times from the Sakai-Sugimoto metric and compare with the ones obtained in the $AdS_{5}$. The application of our result to charmonium and bottomonium at RHIC and LHC is briefly discussed.

BIOSILICA NANOVECTOR FROM DIATOMITE FOR siRNA
TRANSPORT IN CANCER CELL
Creators: name: Migliaccio, Nunzia
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2015

description: Diatomite is a natural porous biomaterial of sedimentary origin,
formed by fragments of diatom siliceous skeletons, called "frustules".
Due to large availability in many areas of the world, chemical
stability, and non-toxicity, these fossil structures have been
widespread used in a lot of industrial applications, such as food
production, water extracting agent, production of cosmetics and
pharmaceutics. However, diatomite is surprisingly still rarely used in
biomedical applications.
In this study, the properties of diatomite nanoparticles as potential
system for the delivery of anticancer molecules in cancer cells were
exploited.
A purification procedure, based on thermal treatments in strong acid
solutions, was used to remove inorganic and organic impurities from
diatomite and to make them a safe material for medical applications.
The micrometric diatomite powder was reduced in nanoparticles by
mechanical crushing, sonication, and filtering.
Morphology and composition of diatomite were investigated by scanning electron microscopy equipped by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, photoluminescence and dynamic light scattering measurements. In-vitro experiments show a very low toxicity on exposure of the cells to diatomite nanoparticle concentration up to 300 μg/ml for 72 h.
Diatomite nanoparticles were functionalized by 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and labeled by tetramethylrhodamine
isothiocyanate. Different concentrations of chemically modified
nanoparticles were incubated with cancer cells and confocal microscopy was performed. Imaging analysis showed an efficient cellular uptake and homogeneous distribution of nanoparticles in cytoplasm and nucleus, thus suggesting their potentiality as nanocarriers for drug delivery.
Subsequently, siRNA bioconjugation were performed and confocal
microscopy imaging on cancer cells incubated with siRNAconjugated
nanoparticles demonstrated a cytoplasmatic localization of vectors. Gene silencing by delivered siRNA was also demonstrated.
Our studies endorse diatomite nanoparticles as non-toxic nanocarriers
for siRNA transport in cancer cells. siRNA-diatomite nanoconjugate
may be well suited for delivery of therapeutic to cancer cells.

description: Digital mammogram inspection is the most popular technique for early detection of abnormalities in human breast tissue. When mammograms are analyzed through a computational method, the presence of the pectoral muscle might affect the results of breast lesions detection. This problem is particularly evident in the mediolateral oblique view (MLO), where pectoral muscle occupies a large part of the mammography. Therefore, identifying and eliminating the pectoral muscle are essential steps for improving the automatic discrimination of breast tissue. In this paper, we propose an approach based on anatomical features to tackle this problem. Our method consists of two steps: (1) a process to remove the noisy elements such as labels, markers, scratches and wedges, and (2) application of an intensity transformation based on the Beta distribution. The novel methodology is tested with 322 digital mammograms from the Mammographic Image Analysis Society (mini-MIAS) database and with a set of 84 mammograms for which the area normalized error was previously calculated. The results show a very good performance of the method.

description: Urban streets are hierarchically organized in the sense that a majority of streets are trivial, while a minority of streets is vital. This hierarchy can be simply, but elegantly, characterized by the 80/20 principle, i.e. 80 percent of streets are less connected (below the average), while 20 percent of streets are well connected (above the average); out of the 20 percent, there is 1 percent of streets that are extremely well connected. This paper, using a European city as an example, examined, at a much more detailed level, such street hierarchies from the perspective of geometric and topological properties. Based on an empirical study, we further proved a previous conjecture that a minority of streets accounts for a majority of traffic flow; more accurately, the 20 percent of top streets accommodate 80 percent of traffic flow (20/80), and the 1 percent of top streets account for more than 20 percent of traffic flow (1/20). Our study provides new evidence as to how a city is (self-)organized, contributing to the understanding of cities and their evolution using increasingly available mobility geographic information.

Techniques for Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging and monitoring of Deformation with Differential Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar
Creators: name: Noviello, Carlo
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II
Year: 2015

description: In the last decades, the growing interest in the field of homeland security and the risk monitoring, associated with natural and human induced hazards, has boosted the development of advanced radar techniques for generating high resolution radar images. Inverse and direct Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR/SAR) are two well radar techniques which exploit the relative motion between the target and the sensor for generating high resolution radar images of the target of interest. In this thesis a novel ISAR autofocus technique has been addressed by exploiting the estimation of the radar signal Doppler parameters. It has been tested on real datasets, and, the experimental results have been compared with the Image Contrast Autofocus Technique. Furthermore, a procedure for the mitigation of the atmospheric delay variation, which represents a main limitation for the detection and the monitoring of weak deformation patterns in Differential SAR Interferometry (DInSAR) has been discussed. It is based on the integration of GPS atmospheric delay measurements in the multipass DInSAR processing chain. The newest algorithm has been tested on post-seismic deformation occurring in the area of L'Aquila (Italy), hit by a critical seismic sequence in 2009.
Electroweak interactions in a relativistic Fermi gas

description: We present a relativistic model for computing the neutrino mean free path in neutron matter. Thereby, neutron matter is described as a non-interacting Fermi gas in beta-equilibrium. We present results for the neutrino mean free path for temperatures from 0 up to 50 MeV and a broad range of neutrino energies. We show that relativistic effects cause a considerable enhancement of neutrino-scattering cross-sections in neutron matter. The influence of the $Q^2$-dependence in the electroweak form factors and the inclusion of a weak magnetic term in the hadron current is discussed. The weak-magnetic term in the hadron current is at the origin of some selective spin dependence for the nucleons which are subject to neutrino interactions.

description: We review a recent asymptotic weak noise approach to the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang equation for the kinetic growth of an interface in higher dimensions. The weak noise approach provides a many body picture of a growing interface in terms of a network of localized growth modes. Scaling in 1d is associated with a gapless domain wall mode. The method also provides an independent argument for the existence of an upper critical dimension.

description: We study implications of thermal leptogenesis for the superparticle mass spectrum. A consistent picture is obtained if the lightest superparticle is the gravitino, which can be the dominant component of cold dark matter. In the case of a long-lived charged scalar lepton as next-to-lightest superparticle, supergravity can be tested at the next generation of colliders, LHC and ILC.

description: Compressed sensing (CS) is a valuable technique for reconstructing measurements in numerous domains. CS has not yet gained widespread adoption in scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), despite potentially offering the advantages of lower acquisition time and enhanced tolerance to noise. Here we applied a simple CS framework, using a weighted iterative thresholding algorithm for CS reconstruction, to representative high-resolution STM images of superconducting surfaces and adsorbed molecules. We calculated reconstruction diagrams for a range of scanning patterns, sampling densities, and noise intensities, evaluating reconstruction quality for the whole image and chosen defects. Overall we find that typical STM images can be satisfactorily reconstructed down to 30\% sampling - already a strong improvement. We furthermore outline limitations of this method, such as sampling pattern artifacts, which become particularly pronounced for images with intrinsic long-range disorder, and propose ways to mitigate some of them. Finally we investigate compressibility of STM images as a measure of intrinsic noise in the image and a precursor to CS reconstruction, enabling a priori estimation of the effectiveness of CS reconstruction with minimal computational cost.

description: Quantization of the Riemann zeta-function is proposed. We treat the Riemann zeta-function as a symbol of a pseudodifferential operator and study the corresponding classical and quantum field theories. This approach is motivated by the theory of p-adic strings and by recent works on stringy cosmological models. We show that the Lagrangian for the zeta-function field is equivalent to the sum of the Klein-Gordon Lagrangians with masses defined by the zeros of the Riemann zeta-function. Quantization of the mathematics of Fermat-Wiles and the Langlands program is indicated. The Beilinson conjectures on the values of L-functions of motives are interpreted as dealing with the cosmological constant problem. Possible cosmological applications of the zeta-function field theory are discussed.
