description: The Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered (SIR) equations and their extensions comprise a commonly utilized set of models for understanding and predicting the course of an epidemic. In practice, it is of substantial interest to estimate the model parameters based on noisy observations early in the outbreak, well before the epidemic reaches its peak. This allows prediction of the subsequent course of the epidemic and design of appropriate interventions. However, accurately inferring SIR model parameters in such scenarios is problematic. This article provides novel, theoretical insight on this issue of practical identifiability of the SIR model. Our theory provides new understanding of the inferential limits of routinely used epidemic models and provides a valuable addition to current simulate-and-check methods. We illustrate some practical implications through application to a real-world epidemic data set.

description: Cinderella complex is a psychological tendency (in women), which consistently experiences dependence and always hopes for protection (from men). This research aims to reveal the Cinderella complex internalized in female characters in two teens lit Indonesia entitled Eiffel I'm in Love by Rahmania Arunita and Fairish by Esti Kinasih. Cinderella shapes The complex that is revealed in the two youth novels is that the female character depends on the male character and maintains a spoiled and weak nature which is attributed to a feminine character. As a result, there is no independence and the ability of female characters to solve problems.

description: We introduce a family of stochastic models motivated by the study of nonequilibrium steady states of fluid equations. These models decompose the deterministic dynamics of interest into fundamental building blocks, i.e., minimal vector fields preserving some fundamental aspects of the original dynamics. Randomness is injected by sequentially following each vector field for a random amount of time. We show under general assumptions that these random dynamics possess a unique invariant measure and converge almost surely to the original, deterministic model in the small noise limit. We apply our construction to the Lorenz-96 equations, often used in studies of chaos and data assimilation, and Galerkin approximations of the 2D Euler and Navier-Stokes equations. An interesting feature of the models developed is that they apply directly to the conservative dynamics and not just those with excitation and dissipation.

description: Around 60% of the paper worldwide is made from recovered paper. Especially adhesive contaminants, so called stickies, reduce paper quality. To remove stickies but at the same time keep as many valuable fibers as possible, multi-stage screening systems with several interconnected pressure screens are used. When planning such systems, suitable screens have to be selected and their interconnection as well as operational parameters have to be defined considering multiple conflicting objectives. In this contribution, we present a Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Program to optimize system layout, component selection and operation to find a suitable trade-off between output quality and yield.

Modeling the Asymptotic Behavior of Higher-Order Aftershocks with Deep Learning

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Geophysics (physics.geo-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Aftershocks of aftershocks - and their aftershock cascades - substantially contribute to the increased seismicity rate and the associated elevated seismic hazard after the occurrence of a large earthquake. Current state-of-the-art earthquake forecasting models therefore describe earthquake occurrence using self-exciting point processes, where events can recursively trigger more events according to empirical laws. To estimate earthquake probabilities within future time horizons of interest, a large number of possible realizations of a process are simulated, which is typically associated with long computation times that increase with the desired resolution of the forecast in space, time, or magnitude range. We here propose a machine learning approach to estimate the temporal evolution of the rate of higher-order aftershocks. For this, we train a deep neural network to predict the output of the simulation-based approach, given a parametric description of the rate of direct aftershocks. A comparison of the two approaches reveals that they perform very similarly in describing synthetic datasets generated with the simulation-based approach. Our method has two major benefits over the traditional approach. It is faster by several orders of magnitude, and it is not susceptible to being influenced by the presence or absence of individual `extreme' realizations of the process, and thus enables accurate earthquake forecasting in near-real-time.
From the separable Tammes problem to extremal distributions of great circles in the unit sphere

description: A family of spherical caps of the 2-dimensional unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^2$ is called a totally separable packing in short, a TS-packing if any two spherical caps can be separated by a great circle which is disjoint from the interior of each spherical cap in the packing. The separable Tammes problem asks for the largest density of given number of congruent spherical caps forming a TS-packing in $\mathbb{S}^2$. We solve this problem up to $8$ spherical caps and upper bound the density of any TS-packing of congruent spherical caps in terms of their angular radius. Based on this, we show that the centered separable kissing number of $3$-dimensional Euclidean balls is $8$. Furthermore, we prove bounds for the maximum of the smallest inradius of the cells of the tilings generated by $n>1$ great circles in $\mathbb{S}^2$. Next, we prove dual bounds for TS-coverings of $\mathbb{S}^2$ by congruent spherical caps. Here a covering of $\mathbb{S}^2$ by spherical caps is called a totally separable covering in short, a TS-covering if there exists a tiling generated by finitely many great circles of $\mathbb{S}^2$ such that the cells of the tiling are covered by pairwise distinct spherical caps of the covering. Finally, we extend some of our bounds on TS-coverings to spherical spaces of dimension $>2$.

description: We characterise all pairs of finite order entire functions whose magnitudes agree on two arbitrary lines in the complex plane by means of the Hadamard factorisation theorem. Building on this, we also characterise all pairs of second order entire functions whose magnitudes agree on infinitely many equidistant parallel lines. Furthermore, we show that the magnitude of an entire function on three parallel lines, whose distances are rationally independent, uniquely determines the function up to global phase, and that there exists a first order entire function whose magnitude on the lines $\mathbb{R} + \tfrac{\mathrm{i}}{n} \mathbb{Z}$ does not uniquely determine it up to global phase, for all positive integers $n$. Our results have direct implications for Gabor phase retrieval.

Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2013

description: My research focuses on adolescent immigrants and refugees in diverse American communities, exploring potential avenues to strengthen these communities by engaging immigrant teens in cultural programs at Children's Museums. I have conducted academic research on this topic and provide an in-depth review and analysis in the first section of this document. While comprehensive, my academic research left some questions unanswered, and so I proceeded with a series of interviews with adolescent immigrants and refugees in the Portland, Maine community. This is followed by a Case Study and Analysis of Culture Scholars, an educational program for immigrant teens at the Children's Museum & Theatre of Maine. I then designed a replicable model for other Children's Museums to use in their development of a similar program for immigrant teens. This work has great implications for the field of Cultural Sustainability, and so I have also included the relevance of my study and its practical application for use in the field. While I aim to maintain awareness of my particular position in the social hierarchy of my community and work, there is always ample opportunity to be reminded of my own ignorance. Perhaps the greatest personal gain in my work with my community is simply to be repeatedly reminded of my own positioning -- and repositioning -- in relation to others around me. My goal is to increase this visibility of self-awareness in both myself and others, using it as a tool in public spaces to strengthen connectivity and mitigate social isolationism. As I work full-time at a Children's Museum, I focus on youth and family-centered programs and their particular role in shaping communities. My scope is specific, with the intention of discovering widely applicable insights.

description: Gabor phase retrieval is the problem of reconstructing a signal from only the magnitudes of its Gabor transform. Previous findings suggest a possible link between unique solvability of the discrete problem (recovery from measurements on a lattice) and stability of the continuous problem (recovery from measurements on an open subset of $\mathbb{R}^2$). In this paper, we close this gap by proving that such a link cannot be made. More precisely, we establish the existence of functions which break uniqueness from samples without affecting stability of the continuous problem. Furthermore, we prove the novel result that counterexamples to unique recovery from samples are dense in $L^2(\mathbb{R})$. Finally, we develop an intuitive argument on the connection between directions of instability in phase retrieval and certain Laplacian eigenfunctions associated to small eigenvalues.

description: To report the clinical characteristics and intraoperative findings of periorbital and orbital dermoid cysts and their relationship to location and rupture. Retrospective review of 270 cases with orbital or periorbital dermoid cysts that presented over a period of 11 years. Patients were included if diagnosis of dermoid cyst was made by histopathologic analysis. Clinical characteristics and operative outcomes were recorded and analyzed with Chi-squared analyses or univariate regression. Multivariate binary logistic regression was performed to assess predictors of location and rupture. Dermoids frequently occurred unilaterally and were more frequently described as mobile (61.5%), followed by fixed (30.8%), and partially fixed (7.7%). Dermoid rigidity was most commonly described as firm (75.5%), followed by cystic, soft, and rubbery. The most common dermoid location was superotemporal (60.4%). On Chi-squared analysis, superotemporal lesions were less likely to have orbital extension than non-superotemporal lesions (OR 0.28, 95% CI: 0.11–0.70, p = .01), less likely to undergo CT (OR 0.16, 95% CI: 0.06–0.41, p p p = .01), and less likely to rupture intraoperatively (OR 0.28, 95% CI: 0.11–0.73, p = .01). No variables were associated with rupture in multivariate analysis. Superotemporal dermoid cysts are common in the pediatric population, less likely to have orbital extension, undergo imaging, and have intraoperative rupture when compared to other locations in the orbit.

This system takes the form of a system of PDEs set on domains of different dimensions, with exchange boundary conditions. Despite the intricate geometry of the problem, we provide an explicit expression for its fundamental solution and for the solution to the associated Cauchy problem. The main tool is a Fourier (on the road variable)/Laplace (on time) transform. In addition, we derive estimates for the decay rate of the $L^{\infty}$ norm of these solutions.

Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst
Year: 1996

description: This learning module, as well as others in the series, was made possible by the contributions and assistance of many individuals who were part of the Amherst CIRCLE core staff. From design to facilitation to writing, the workshop facilitators of each module kept in mind the spirit of participatory education for learners engaged in skill building and consciousness raising. Others involved in the design and production for the series tailored it to specific cultural contexts as well as to individual needs, learning styles, and experiences.
description: Leaders can be effective educators to their peers inside and outside their community. As practitioners, they are in a position to draw on existing cultural knowledge and to discover new knowledge in developing innovative practices and techniques. But they learn best when they themselves are active learners and educators. Participation in community projects, formal training, and the exchange of resources and ideas will help them hone their skills as educators. The repeated cycles of reflection and practical experience characteristic of this action learning makes leaders well qualified to become trainers. This module is an introduction to becoming an effective trainer/educator. It starts by exploring different beliefs and assumptions about teaching and learning. Then, styles of adult learning and methods of assessing their needs are addressed. Throughout the module, participatory methods and techniques are used to explore traditional and new ways of learning and assessing needs. By using the creative abilities of learners the primary responsibility for learning is given to participants. While individuals affirm their own learning and behavior. They also participate in cross-cultural learning shaped by collective group activities.

description: Background: Children with severe neurologic impairment (SNI) regularly require major surgery to manage their underlying conditions. Anecdotal evidence suggests that children with SNI experience unexpected and persistent postoperative functional changes long after the postoperative recovery period; however, evidence from the perspective of caregivers is limited. The purpose of the study was to explore the functional postoperative recovery process for children with SNI. Methods: Eligible participants were English-speaking caregivers of children with SNI between 6 months and 17 years who were nonverbal, Gross Motor Function Classification Scale level IV/V, and who had surgery/procedure requiring general anesthetic at a tertiary children’s hospital between 2012 and 2022. Demographic and basic health information were collected via surveys and corroborated by a review of the child’s electronic health record. Semi-structured interviews were conducted and a thematic content analysis was used to formulate results. Results: Data from 12 primary caregiver interviews revealed four main themes: (1) functional changes and complications in the child; (2) feeling unprepared; (3) perioperative support; and (4) changes to caregiver roles. Conclusions: Postoperative functional decline in children with SNI was prevalent in our sample. Providing pre-operative information to families to describe this phenomenon should be a regular part of family-informed care.

We give an explicit example of $3$ conics with $136$ real circles tangent to them. We conjecture that 136 is the maximal number of real circles. Furthermore, we implement a hill-climbing algorithm to find instances of conics with many real circles, and we introduce a machine learning model that, given three real conics, predicts the number of circles tangent to these three conics.

description: Abstract
Purpose: Best practice recommendations for Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) programs include routine spoken language outcome monitoring. The present article reports on pilot data that evaluated the usability and feasibility of a spoken language outcome monitoring procedure developed for Ontario’s Infant Hearing Program (IHP). This procedure included both Program-level monitoring using omnibus language tests from birth to 6;0 and individual vulnerability monitoring of key domains of spoken language known to be at risk in children who are deaf/hard-of-hearing.
Methodology: Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) in the IHP piloted the new procedures for one year and provided feedback on the procedure through surveys at the end of the pilot.
Results: Data was suggestive that the Program-level procedure might be sensitive to change over time and known predictors of spoken language outcomes. Some, but not all, Program-level test scores were predicted by the presence of additional developmental factors. None of the test scores were significantly predicted by severity of hearing loss. Depending on the tests and scores used, some aspects of the Program-level procedure to change over time. There was insufficient evidence to support individual vulnerability monitoring. SLPs reported significant concerns about the time involved in implementing both procedures.
Conclusions: This article describes preliminary evidence suggesting that the Program-level procedure might be feasible to implement and useful for evaluating EHDI programs. Future evaluations are needed to determine whether the procedure can be accurately implemented to scale in the IHP, and whether the data that results from the procedure can meaningfully inform stakeholders’ decision-making.

description: The discretization approximation method commonly used to simulate the dynamics of quantum system coupled to the environment in continuum often suffers from the periodically partial recovery of initial state because of the effect of finite dimension, dubbed the recurrence. To address this issue, we proposes a generalization of the discretization approximation method into the complex frequency space basing on complex Gauss quadratures. An effective Hamiltonian can be established by this way, which is non-Hermitian and demonstrates the complex energy modes with negative imaginary part, describing the dissipation of the system. This method is applied to examine the dynamics in two exactly solvable models, the dephasing model and the single-excitation dissipative dynamics in the Aubry-André-Harper model. By comparison with the exact numerics and analytical results, it is found that our approach not only significantly reduces the effect of recurrence and improve the effectiveness of calculation, but also provide a unique perspective into the dynamics of open system from the point of complex energy levels. Furthermore, we establish a simple relationship between the parameters in computation and the effectiveness of simulation by analyzing the computational error.

description: In this work, we investigate the worldvolume fermion on the flavor brane in the D0-D4/D8 model which is holographically equivalent to the four-dimensional QCD with instantons, or equivalently with a theta angle. The action for the worldvolume fermion is obtained by the T-duality rules in string theory and we accordingly derive its effectively five-dimensional, canonical four-dimensional forms by using the systematical dimensional reduction and decomposition of spinor. Afterwards, we employ the AdS/CFT dictionary in order to evaluate the two-point correlation function as the spectral function for the worldvolume fermion and interpret the fermion as baryon by analyzing its quantum number with the baryon vertex in holography. In this sense, the interacted action involving the worldvolume fermion and gauge field on the flavor brane are finally derived in holography which describes the various interaction of meson and baryon with instantons in large-N limit. Therefore, this work provides a holographic picture to describe baryon and its interactions based on string theory, in particular, in the presence of instantons or a theta angle.

description: University students often spend a considerable amount of time seeking answers to common questions from administrators or teachers. This can become tedious for both parties, leading to a need for a solution. In response, this paper proposes a chatbot model that utilizes natural language processing and deep learning techniques to answer frequently asked questions (FAQs) in the Amharic language. Chatbots are computer programs that simulate human conversation through the use of artificial intelligence (AI), acting as a virtual assistant to handle questions and other tasks. The proposed chatbot program employs tokenization, normalization, stop word removal, and stemming to analyze and categorize Amharic input sentences. Three machine learning model algorithms were used to classify tokens and retrieve appropriate responses: Support Vector Machine (SVM), Multinomial Naïve Bayes, and deep neural networks implemented through TensorFlow, Keras, and NLTK. The deep learning model achieved the best results with 91.55% accuracy and a validation loss of 0.3548 using an Adam optimizer and SoftMax activation function. The chatbot model was integrated with Facebook Messenger and deployed on a Heroku server for 24-hour accessibility. The experimental results demonstrate that the chatbot framework achieved its objectives and effectively addressed challenges such as Amharic Fidel variation, morphological variation, and lexical gaps. Future research could explore the integration of Amharic WordNet to narrow the lexical gap and support more complex questions.

description: Prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA) is highly expressed in prostate cancer and a therapeutic target. Lutetium-177 (¹⁷⁷Lu)-PSMA-617 is the first radioligand therapy to be approved in Canada for use in patients with metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). As this treatment represents a new therapeutic class, guidance regarding how to integrate it into clinical practice is needed. This article aims to review the evidence from prospective phase 2 and 3 clinical trials and meta-analyses of observational studies on the use of ¹⁷⁷Lu-PSMA-617 in prostate cancer and discuss how Canadian clinicians might best apply these data in practice. The selection of appropriate patients, the practicalities of treatment administration, including necessary facilities for treatment procedures, the assessment of treatment response, and the management of adverse events are considered. Survival benefits were observed in clinical trials of ¹⁷⁷Lu-PSMA-617 in patients with progressive, PSMA-positive mCRPC who were pretreated with androgen receptor pathway inhibitors and taxanes, as well as in taxane-naïve patients. However, the results of ongoing trials are awaited to clarify questions regarding the optimal sequencing of ¹⁷⁷Lu-PSMA-617 with other therapies, as well as the implications of predictive biomarkers, personalized dosimetry, and combinations with other therapies.

description: Numerical simulation of turbulent fluid dynamics needs to either parameterize turbulence-which introduces large uncertainties-or explicitly resolve the smallest scales-which is prohibitively expensive. Here we provide evidence through analytic bounds and numerical studies that a potential quantum exponential speedup can be achieved to simulate the Navier-Stokes equations governing turbulence using quantum computing. Specifically, we provide a formulation of the lattice Boltzmann equation for which we give evidence that low-order Carleman linearization is much more accurate than previously believed for these systems and that for computationally interesting examples. This is achieved via a combination of reformulating the nonlinearity and accurately linearizing the dynamical equations, effectively trading nonlinearity for additional degrees of freedom that add negligible expense in the quantum solver. Based on this we apply a quantum algorithm for simulating the Carleman-linearized lattice Boltzmann equation and provide evidence that its cost scales logarithmically with system size, compared to polynomial scaling in the best known classical algorithms. This work suggests that an exponential quantum advantage may exist for simulating fluid dynamics, paving the way for simulating nonlinear multiscale transport phenomena in a wide range of disciplines using quantum computing.
Biased elementary doctrines and quotient completions

description: In this work, we fill the gap between the elementary quotient completion introduced by Maietti and Rosolini and the exact completion of a category with weak finite limits, as described by Carboni and Vitale. To achieve this, we generalize Lawvere's elementary doctrines to apply to categories with weak finite products, referring to these structures as biased elementary doctrines. We present two main constructions: the first, called strictification, produces an elementary doctrine from a biased one, while the second is an extension of the elementary quotient completion that generalizes the exact completion of a category with weak finite limits, even when weak finite products are involved.

description: Traditional analysis of embedded earth-retaining walls relies on simplistic lateral earth pressure theory methods, which do not allow for direct computation of wall displacements. Contemporary numerical models rely on the Mohr–Coulomb model, which generally falls short of accurate wall displacement prediction. The advanced constitutive small-strain hardening soil model (SS-HSM), effectively captures complex nonlinear soil behavior. However, its application is currently limited, as SS-HSM requires multiple input parameters, rendering numerical modeling a challenging and time-consuming task. This study presents an extensive numerical investigation, where wall displacements from numerical models are compared to empirical findings from a large and reliable database. A novel automated computational scheme is created for model generation and advanced data analysis is undertaken for this objective. The main findings indicate that the SS-HSM can provide realistic predictions of wall displacements. Ultimately, a range of input parameters for the utilization of SS-HSM in earth-retaining wall analysis is established, providing a good starting point for engineers and researchers seeking to model more complex scenarios of embedded walls with the SS-HSM.

Circularly polarized gravitational waves in Chern-Simons gravity originated from an axion domain wall

description: We study a scattering problem of gravitational waves (GWs) by an axion domain wall in Chern-Simons (CS) gravity. We find that circular polarization of GWs is produced after passing through the domain wall. It turns out that the circular polarization is sizable if the frequency of the GW is comparable to a critical value determined by the characteristic CS length scale and the energy scale of the axion domain wall. Thus, observations of the circular polarization could give a stringent constraint on the characteristic CS length scale or could be a new avenue to search for axion.

description: Image-based or morphological profiling is a rapidly expanding field wherein cells are "profiled" by extracting hundreds to thousands of unbiased, quantitative features from images of cells that have been perturbed by genetic or chemical perturbations. The Cell Painting assay is the most popular imaged-based profiling assay wherein six small-molecule dyes label eight cellular compartments and thousands of measurements are made, describing quantitative traits such as size, shape, intensity, and texture within the nucleus, cytoplasm, and whole cell (Cimini et al., 2023). We have created the Cell Painting Gallery, a publicly available collection of Cell Painting datasets, with granular dataset descriptions and access instructions. It is hosted by AWS on the Registry of Open Data (RODA). As of January 2024, the Cell Painting Gallery holds 656 terabytes (TB) of image and associated numerical data. It includes the largest publicly available Cell Painting dataset, in terms of perturbations tested (Joint Undertaking for Morphological Profiling or JUMP (Chandrasekaran et al., 2023)), along with many other canonical datasets using Cell Painting, close derivatives of Cell Painting (such as LipocyteProfiler (Laber et al., 2023) and Pooled Cell Painting (Ramezani et al., 2023)).
