Patterns for the waiting time in the context of discrete-time stochastic processes

description: The aim of this study is to extend the scope and applicability of the level-crossing method to discrete-time stochastic processes and generalize it to enable us to study multiple discrete-time stochastic processes. In previous versions of the level-crossing method, problems with it correspond to the fact that this method had been developed for analyzing a continuous-time process or at most a multiple continuous-time process in an individual manner. However, since all empirical processes are discrete in time, the already-established level-crossing method may not prove adequate for studying empirical processes. Beyond this, due to the fact that most empirical processes are coupled; their individual study could lead to vague results. To achieve the objectives of this study, we first find an analytical expression for the average frequency of crossing a level in a discrete-time process, giving the measure of the time experienced for two consecutive crossings named as the "waiting time". We then introduce the generalized level-crossing method by which the consideration of coupling between the components of a multiple process becomes possible. Finally, we provide an analytic solution when the components of a multiple stochastic process are independent Gaussian white noises. The comparison of the results obtained for coupled and uncoupled processes measures the strength and efficiency of the coupling, justifying our model and analysis. The advantage of the proposed method is its sensitivity to the slightest coupling and shortest correlation length.
title: Illuminismo, critica e potere in Michel Foucault: a partire da Sorvegliare e punire
Creators: name: Cremonesi, Laura
Publisher: name: Università di Pisa
Year: 2020

description: Like many other Michel Foucault’s books, Discipline and Punish provoked some polemical debates. Foucault accepted to take part especially in one of these discussions and responded to some criticisms addressed to him. This was the debate with some French historians, between 1978 and 1980, which led to the publication of L’impossible prison, edited by Michelle Perrot.

In this debate, some relevant issues emerged, such as the Enlightenment, the Revolution, modern reason and its relationships with power and normalisation. Since 1978, Foucault provided in several articles and conferences a reading of Kant’s text Was ist Aufklärung, which can be considered as a sort of response to the issues raised in the debate with historians: in fact, in this work on Kant, Foucault suggests his own, original way of conceiving a possible “legacy” of Enlightenment, as a “critical attitude” that can be reactivated in our present.

Local Morse Theory for Solutions to the Heat Equation and Gaussian Blurring
Creators: name: Damon, James
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1995

description: A general problem in partial differential equations is to describe the generic behavior of solutions to a partial differential equation, e.g. P(u) = g, where P is a differential operator (usually with some boundary conditions). Often the results that are known result from maximum principles, various estimates, etc. Very little is known about the generic local behavior of such solutions. In this paper we apply methods from singularity theory to answer this question for the heat equation (these results were announced in [D1]) and in the process indicate how the methods apply more generally to a large collection of partial differential equations (even allowing nonconstant coefficients), see [D4].

description: Directed graphical models such as Bayesian nets are often used to implement intelligent tutoring systems able to interact in real-time with learners in a purely automatic way. When coping with such models, keeping a bound on the number of parameters might be important for multiple reasons. First, as these models are typically based on expert knowledge, a huge number of parameters to elicit might discourage practitioners from adopting them. Moreover, the number of model parameters affects the complexity of the inferences, while a fast computation of the queries is needed for real-time feedback. We advocate logical gates with uncertainty for a compact parametrization of the conditional probability tables in the underlying Bayesian net used by tutoring systems. We discuss the semantics of the model parameters to elicit and the assumptions required to apply such approach in this domain. We also derive a dedicated inference scheme to speed up computations.

description: In an era characterized by escalating cybersecurity threats and growing concerns over data privacy, the quest for robust and secure methods of individual identification has become paramount. Biometric authentication, leveraging distinctive physiological or behavioral traits, has emerged as a promising solution, offering enhanced security and user convenience compared to traditional authentication methods like passwords and PINs. However, conventional biometric modalities are not immune to vulnerabilities, with concerns ranging from theft to replication of biometric data. In this context, Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals capture the heart's electrical activity to establish unique patterns for individual identification. Unlike static biometrics, ECG offers continuous data, enabling dynamic authentication and anomaly detection, thereby fortifying security measures. The non-invasive nature of ECG data collection, often facilitated by wearables or contactless sensors, further enhances user comfort and privacy. This paper proposes a novel approach to person identification using ECG data, leveraging deep learning techniques to exploit the distinctive features of heartbeat patterns for reliable identification. Through a series of experiments, we demonstrate the effectiveness of our methodology.

Lensed: a code for the forward reconstruction of lenses and sources from strong lensing observations

description: Robust modelling of strong lensing systems is fundamental to exploit the information they contain about the distribution of matter in galaxies and clusters. In this work, we present Lensed, a new code which performs forward parametric modelling of strong lenses. Lensed takes advantage of a massively parallel ray-tracing kernel to perform the necessary calculations on a modern graphics processing unit (GPU). This makes the precise rendering of the background lensed sources much faster, and allows the simultaneous optimisation of tens of parameters for the selected model. With a single run, the code is able to obtain the full posterior probability distribution for the lens light, the mass distribution and the background source at the same time. Lensed is first tested on mock images which reproduce realistic space-based observations of lensing systems. In this way, we show that it is able to recover unbiased estimates of the lens parameters, even when the sources do not follow exactly the assumed model. Then, we apply it to a subsample of the SLACS lenses, in order to demonstrate its use on real data. The results generally agree with the literature, and highlight the flexibility and robustness of the algorithm.

description: This study examined the effect of caffeine supplementation on the white cell count and muscle damage marker responses to intermittent-interval exercise as performed by soccer players. Subjects (n = 20) completed a placebo-controlled double-blind test protocol. Forty-five minutes before exercise, participants ingested 4.5 mg·kg−1 body mass of caffeine (EXP) or placebo (CONT). Blood samples were collected before and after exercise to measure hematological parameters, serum creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alkaline phosphatase (AP) and γ-glutamyl transferase (γ-GT) activity. To compare differences among all variables, 2 (time) × 2 (group) repeated measures ANOVA (with Tukey's post hoc tests) was conducted. Exercise caused leukocytosis (38.5% and 36.1%in EXP and CONT, respectively), lymphocytosis (42.1%and 44.9%; p < 0.05) and neutrophilia (38.2% and 31.5%; p < 0.05) without an additional effect due to caffeine (p > 0.05). Also, serum CK and LDH activity were enhanced by exercise in both groups (p < 0.05), without a synergistic effect of caffeine. ALT, AST, AP and γ-GT serum activity was not modulated by exercise or caffeine. The findings demonstrate that white cells and muscle damage markers increase after intense intermittent exercise, but acute caffeine supplementation has no influence on immune responses or muscle cellular integrity.

description: The recently observed excess in gamma-ray signal near the Galactic center suggests that dark matter particles may annihilate into charged fermions that produce gamma-ray to be observed. In this paper, we consider a leptonic dark matter, which annihilates into the standard model leptons, $μ^+ μ^-$ and $τ^+ τ^-$, by the interaction of the gauged lepton number ${\rm U(1)}_{L_μ-L_τ}$ and fits the observed excess. Interestingly, the necessary annihilation cross section for the observed gamma-ray flux provides a good fit to the value for the relic abundance of dark matter. We identify the preferred parameter space of the model after taking the existing experimental constraints from the precision measurements including the muon $(g-2)$, tau decay, neutrino trident production, dark matter direct detection, LHC, and LEP experiments.

Baker (Lecture Notes in Mathematics No. 109, pp. 33–44, Springer-Verlag, Berlin/New York, 1979) posed the problem of characterizing the absolute continuity of μ and μ1 by their characteristic functionals. The aim of this paper is to give an answer to this problem in the case where μ is a Gaussian Radon measure. A Fourier transform shall be defined, the inversion formula established, and then a necessary and sufficient condition given for μ1 to be absolutely continuous with respect to μ based on the characteristic functional. As applications, for the convolution , where v is a Radon measure on E, we shall give some concrete sufficient conditions on v for μ∗v ⪡ μ.

description: This paper examines the impact of the large structural shocks -- automation and import competition -- on voter turnout during US federal elections from 2000 to 2016. Although the negative income effect of both shocks is comparable, we find that political participation decreases significantly in counties more exposed to industrial robots. In contrast, the exposure to rising import competition does not reduce voter turnout. A survey experiment reveals that divergent beliefs about the effectiveness of government intervention drive this contrast. Our study highlights the role of beliefs in the political economy of technological change.

title: Le legs et l’impasse. Sur la gouvernementalité foucaldienne
Creators: name: Escudier, Alexandre
Publisher: name: Università di Pisa
Year: 2020

description: The article focuses on the courses given by Foucault at the Collège de France on political governmentality (1976-1979), before he turned in 1980 to the question of the “government of the Self” and the “courage of truth”. It does not attempt a detailed reconstruction, but discusses some central themes which would make it possible to further develop the Foucauldian heritage, but also to show some of that heritage’s limitations.
Section I offers a sympathetic discussion of Foucault’s analysis of “power”, the question of practices, “counter-conducts” and “population”. In a more critical vein, section II argues for moving away from the categories of “biopolitics” and “liberal governmentality”. It questions Foucault’s view of “socialist governmentality” as deficient, traces his methodological anti- legalism to its dead end, and seeks a more concrete historical anchoring of the question of political legitimacy and consent.

description: Neonectria fruit rot (NFR) is known to be caused mainly by Neonectria ditissima, the causal agent of European canker in many regions where apples are grown worldwide. NFR-like symptoms were observed in about 35% of 600 grower lots surveyed from 24 apple and pear packinghouses in Washington and Oregon from 2013 to 2018. We used morphological characteristics on several agar media under various photoperiods, molecular phylogenetic analyses, and pathogenicity tests to characterize 56 Neonectria and Nectria isolates collected from 6 apple and 3 pear cultivars. Multisequence analyses of four DNA regions, i.e., ß-TUB, TEF1, LSU, and ITS rDNA, confirmed that NFR of apple and pear in the PNW is caused by N. ramulariae (syn. N. candida, anamorph Cylindrocarpon obtusiusculum). This species was pathogenic on Fuji apples and Green d’Anjou pears at 1.5 and 0.5°C, respectively, and at 22°C with NFR incidences ranging from 6 to 100%. We report for the first time that three Nectria species, i.e., Nectria nigrescens, Nectria cinnabarina, and Nectria dematiosa, can cause NFR-like rot on detached apples and pear at both cold and ambient temperatures. The effects of lighting conditions and agar medium on the growth and sporulation of representative isolates of N. ramulariae and Nectria spp. were investigated to better understand the biology of these species. Although some differences were observed, N. ramulariae and Nectria spp. isolates showed the ability to grow and sporulate on nutrient-poor and nutrient-rich media under different photoperiods. In this study, we also investigated and characterized 85 Sarocladium spp. isolates collected from apples and pears. Phylogenetic analyses revealed occurrence of Sarocladium kiliense and S. mali on several apple and pear cultivars. S. kiliense and S. mali caused brown halos of 2.8 mm diameter on Fuji apple and Green d’Anjou pear at 0 to 41% incidences when incubated at 0.5 and 1.5°C, and 0 to 55% incidences when incubated at 22°C. It is not clear whether Sarocladium spp. are true pathogens or part of endophytic populations on pome fruit. The potential for emergence of N. ramulariae and Sarocladium spp. as additional postharvest pathogens in the PNW may constitute additional challenges to fruit growers and packers. This study is the first step towards species characterization and understanding their biology and epidemiology to develop effective management approaches.

Remote sensing emission measurement is a method to measure real driving emissions to identify high emitter vehicles. High NOx emitter vehicles are recognized among the selected 14 vehicles of the University of Alberta fleet. By combining remote sensing and on-board diagnostics (OBD) data, an understanding of vehicle operation and its emission signature was developed. Out of 28 measured samples, seven samples from seven different vehicles had high NOx emissions. The results show that vehicles working in part-load operational conditions are more likely to produce more NOx. In contrast, no high NOx emitter was identified among the vehicles driven with medium or high load.

The new numerical method allows the use of low-order Lagrange finite element spaces, despite the fact that the system contains third order spatial partial derivatives for the depth averaged velocity of the fluid. After studying the efficacy and the conservation properties of the new numerical method, we proceed with the validation of the new numerical model and boundary conditions by comparing the numerical solutions with laboratory experiments and with available theoretical asymptotic results.

description: In this article we consider the Standard Model extended by a number of (light) right-handed neutrinos, and assume the presence of some heavy physics that cannot be directly produced, but can be probed by its low-energy effective interactions. Within this scenario, we obtain all the gauge-invariant dimension-seven effective operators, and determine whether each of the operators can be generated at tree-level by the heavy physics, or whether it is necessarily loop generated. We then use the tree-generated operators, including those containing right-handed neutrinos, to put limits on the scale of new physics $ Λ$ using low-energy measurements. We also study the production of same-sign dileptons at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and determine the constraints on the heavy physics that can be derived form existing data, as well as the reach in probing $ Λ$ expected from future runs of this collider.

Reflexivity properties of T ⊕ 0
Creators: name: Wogen, Warren
name: Larson, David
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1990

description: A construction is given of a reflexive operator T acting on a separable Hilbert space H with the property that the direct sum T ⊕ 0 fails to be reflexive. This construction is then used to provide solutions to several other problems which have been studied concerning the direct-sum splitting of operator algebras, Scott Brown's technique, the theory of bitriangular operators, and parareflexivity.

title: Per un’epistemologia critica. Il contributo del metodo foucaultiano
Creators: name: Grandoni, Raffaele
Publisher: name: Università di Pisa
Year: 2020

description: In this paper I will focus on a specific aspect of Foucault’s oeuvre: the epistemological one. My aim is to show that Foucault’s heritage must not be reduced to his contributions to political and ethical theory, but that it must include an epistemological method for a critical inquiry on the nature of science, too.
In the first part, I will shed a light on Foucault’s relationship with the French epistemological tradition, especially with Bachelard’s and Canguilhem’s works. In the second part, I will define Foucault’s archaeological method and show how it transformed historical epistemology on three aspects: the level of analysis, the nature of the sciences investigated, the inclusion of power relations into the analysis. In the third part, I will consider Ian Hacking’s and Arnold Davidson’s works as a result of their using Foucault’s method for different sciences and concepts. In so doing, I hope to demonstrate how they take up what is Foucault’s heritage: an epistemological method that allows to analyze sciences not only in their theoretical dimension, but also in relation to their roles in the constitution of our subjectivity.

description: In a previous paper we proved that after a simple transformation the generating series of the linear Hodge integrals on the moduli space of stable curves satisfies the hierarchy of the Intermediate Long Wave equation. In this paper we present a much shorter proof of this fact. Our new proof is based on an explicit formula for the one-point linear Hodge integrals that was found independently by Faber, Pandharipande and Ekedahl, Lando, Shapiro, Vainshtein.

Reflexive Subalgebras of AF Algebras
Creators: name: Wogen, W.R.
name: Peters, J.R.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1994

description: A subalgebra of a von Neumann algebra is reflexive if = Alg Lat . This notion of reflexivity is in general not well-suited for subalgebras of C*-algebras, since a C*-algebra may not contain enough projections. For subalgebras of simple AF algebras, we consider another natural notion of reflexivity which does not rely on projections. In this setting Ref , the reflexive algebra generated by , is contained in Alg Lat , and usually the containment is proper. Necessary and sufficient conditions are given for these algebras to coincide. In particular, if Lat is a maximal nest then Ref = Alg Lat . We show that analytic subalgebras must be either reflexive or transitive and that reflexive analytic algebras are trivially analytic. In addition, a strongly maximal algebra is semisimple if and only if it is transitive.

description: We analyse the effects of Robin boundary conditions on quantum field theories of spin 0, 1 and 1/2. In particular, we show that these conditions always lead to the appearance of edge states that play a significant role in quantum Hall effect and topological insulators. We prove in a rigorous way the existence of spectral lower bounds on the kinetic term of the Hamiltonian, which guarantees the stability and consistency of massive field theories when the mass is larger than the lower bound of the kinetic term. We also find an upper bound for the deepest edge state. The explicit dependence of both bounds on the boundary conditions and the size of the system is derived under very general conditions. For fermionic systems we analyse the case of Atiyah-Patodi-Singer and chiral bag boundary conditions. We point out the existence of edge states also in these cases and show that they disappear for small enough systems. Stability is granted in this case.

description: Let g be a smooth function on nwith values in [0, 1]. Using the isoperimetric property of the Gaussian measure, itis proved thatφ(Φ−1(Eg))−Eφ(Φ−1(g))⩽E; ∇g;. Conversely, this inequality implies the isoperimetric property of the Gaussian measure.

description: The necessity for compact table-top x-ray sources with higher brightness, shorter wavelength and shorter pulse duration has led to the development of complementary sources based on laser-plasma accelerators, in contrast to conventional accelerators. Relativistic interaction of short-pulse lasers with underdense plasmas results in acceleration of electrons and in consequence in the emission of spatially coherent radiation, which is known in the literature as betatron radiation. In this article we report on our recent results in the rapidly developing field of secondary x-ray radiation generated by high-energy electron pulses. The betatron radiation is characterized with a novel setup allowing to measure the energy, the spatial energy distribution in the far-field of the beam and the source size in a single laser shot. Furthermore, the polarization state is measured for each laser shot. In this way the emitted betatron x-rays can be used as a non-invasive diagnostic tool to retrieve very subtle information of the electron dynamics within the plasma wave. Parallel to the experimental work, 3D particle-in-cell simulations were performed, proved to be in good agreement with the experimental results.

Boundary Layer Methods for Lipschitz Domains in Riemannian Manifolds
Creators: name: Taylor, Michael
name: Mitrea, Marius
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1999

description: We extend to the variable coefficient case boundary layer techniques that have been successful in the treatment of the Laplace equation and certain other constant coefficient elliptic partial differential equations on Lipschitz domains in Euclidean space. We treat the Laplace operator on Lipschitz domains in a manifold withC1metric tensor and study the Dirichlet, Neumann, and oblique derivative boundary problems.
Adsorption-induced surface normal relaxation of a solid adsorbent

description: We investigate adsorption of a gas on the flat surface of a solid deformable adsorbent taking into account thermal fluctuations and analyze in detail the effect of thermal fluctuations on the adsorbent deformation in adsorption. The condition for coexistence of two states of a bistable system of adsorbed particles is derived. We establish the specific properties of the adsorption-induced surface normal relaxation of an adsorbent caused by thermal fluctuations. The mean transition times between two stable states of the bistable system are derived in the parabolic approximation and in the general case.

Potential Theory on Lipschitz Domains in Riemannian Manifolds: Sobolev–Besov Space Results and the Poisson Problem
Creators: name: Taylor, Michael
name: Mitrea, Marius
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2000

description: We continue a program to develop layer potential techniques for PDE on Lipschitz domains in Riemannian manifolds. Building on Lp and Hardy space estimates established in previous papers, here we establish Sobolev and Besov space estimates on solutions to the Dirichlet and Neumann problems for the Laplace operator plus a potential, on a Lipschitz domain in a Riemannian manifold with a metric tensor smooth of class C1+γ, for some γ>0. We treat the inhomogeneous problem and extend it to the setting of manifolds results obtained for the constant-coefficient Laplace operator on a Lipschitz domain in Euclidean space, with the Dirichlet boundary condition, by D. Jerison and C. Kenig.
How the Weak Variance of Momentum Can Turn Out to be Negative

description: Weak values are average quantities,therefore investigating their associated variance is crucial in understanding their place in quantum mechanics. We develop the concept of a position-postselected weak variance of momentum as cohesively as possible, building primarily on material from Moyal (Mathematical Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1949) and Sonego (Found Phys 21(10):1135, 1991) . The weak variance is defined in terms of the Wigner function, using a standard construction from probability theory. We show this corresponds to a measurable quantity, which is not itself a weak value. It also leads naturally to a connection between the imaginary part of the weak value of momentum and the quantum potential. We study how the negativity of the Wigner function causes negative weak variances, and the implications this has on a class of `subquantum' theories. We also discuss the role of weak variances in studying determinism, deriving the classical limit from a variational principle.
