description: Low back pain (LBP) stands as a pervasive and debilitating issue, contributing significantly to disability and workforce absenteeism. This study addresses the prevalence and impact of LBP, a prevalent condition affecting a substantial portion of the adult population. Reports suggest that between 70 to 85% of individuals experience at least one episode of low back pain during their lifetime, highlighting the magnitude of its societal implications (Anderson, 1999; Rublin, 2007). Understanding the multifaceted nature of LBP is essential for effective prevention and management strategies. This research aims to delve into the factors contributing to the high prevalence of LBP, emphasizing the need for comprehensive approaches to address this pervasive health concern. By examining the prevalence rates and associated consequences, the study seeks to offer valuable insights into the intricate dynamics of LBP within the general population. The burden of LBP extends beyond individual suffering, influencing hospitalization rates and exerting a substantial impact on workforce productivity. Recognizing LBP's pervasive nature, this investigation explores the interplay of various factors contributing to its prevalence, shedding light on the socio-economic implications and the need for targeted interventions. In addition to establishing the prevalence, the study will explore the risk factors and potential preventive measures to mitigate the impact of LBP. By identifying modifiable factors and introducing effective preventive strategies, this research aspires to contribute to the development of comprehensive health policies aimed at reducing the incidence and burden of LBP

description: The hypothesis of randomness is fundamental in statistical machine learning and in many areas of nonparametric statistics; it says that the observations are assumed to be independent and coming from the same unknown probability distribution. This hypothesis is close, in certain respects, to the hypothesis of exchangeability, which postulates that the distribution of the observations is invariant with respect to their permutations. This paper reviews known methods of testing the two hypotheses concentrating on the online mode of testing, when the observations arrive sequentially. All known online methods for testing these hypotheses are based on conformal martingales, which are defined and studied in detail. The paper emphasizes conceptual and practical aspects and states two kinds of results. Validity results limit the probability of a false alarm or the frequency of false alarms for various procedures based on conformal martingales, including conformal versions of the CUSUM and Shiryaev-Roberts procedures. Efficiency results establish connections between randomness, exchangeability, and conformal martingales.

Subjects: subject: retinopathy of prematurity (ROP)
subject: artificial intelligence
subject: ophthalmology

description: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a sight threatening proliferative retinal vascular disease affecting premature infants. Vision loss in ROP is preventable through the early identification and treatment of severe disease. Timely screening and accurate diagnosis is therefore crucial for the diagnosis of ROP, however, multiple challenges exist in current screening processes including limited access to expert ophthalmologists required for ROP screening, subjectivity of diagnosis and cost and time burdens involved in transporting infants to tertiary hospitals. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to overcome current challenges in ROP diagnosis and may transform the way ROP is screened for and managed. Through innovative deep learning technology, a well-designed, well-validated detection algorithm may provide accessible, objective analysis of retinal images to assist expert ophthalmologists in detecting referrable ROP. This thesis will introduce readers to the pathophysiology and grading of ROP, evidence for current treatment guidelines and AI applications in ophthalmology. The systematic review will provide the background evidence into requirements for an accurate, reliable AI algorithm in ROP diagnosis and the validation of our AI algorithm, ROP.AI, will provide insight into the revolutionary diagnostic potential of this deep learning program. Finally, we will discuss future plans for ROP.AI including a methodology proposal to implement the algorithm into a prospective clinical trial for the diagnosis of ROP.
Search for physics beyond the standard model in events with overlapping photons and jets

description: Results are reported from a search for new particles that decay into a photon and two gluons, in events with jets. Novel jet substructure techniques are developed that allow photons to be identified in an environment densely populated with hadrons. The analyzed proton-proton collision data were collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, in 2016 at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. The spectra of total transverse hadronic energy of candidate events are examined for deviations from the standard model predictions. No statistically significant excess is observed over the expected background. The first cross section limits on new physics processes resulting in such events are set. The results are interpreted as upper limits on the rate of gluino pair production, utilizing a simplified stealth supersymmetry model. The excluded gluino masses extend up to 1.7 TeV, for a neutralino mass of 200 GeV and exceed previous mass constraints set by analyses targeting events with isolated photons.

Further Experimental Evidence against the Utility of Occam's Razor
Creators: name: Webb, G. I.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This paper presents new experimental evidence against the utility of Occam's razor. A~systematic procedure is presented for post-processing decision trees produced by C4.5. This procedure was derived by rejecting Occam's razor and instead attending to the assumption that similar objects are likely to belong to the same class. It increases a decision tree's complexity without altering the performance of that tree on the training data from which it is inferred. The resulting more complex decision trees are demonstrated to have, on average, for a variety of common learning tasks, higher predictive accuracy than the less complex original decision trees. This result raises considerable doubt about the utility of Occam's razor as it is commonly applied in modern machine learning.

description: We develop a new hybrid WKB technique to compute boundary-to-boundary scalar Green functions in asymptotically-AdS backgrounds in which the scalar wave equation is separable and is explicitly solvable in the asymptotic region. We apply this technique to a family of six-dimensional $\frac{1}{8}$-BPS asymptotically AdS$_3\,\times\,$S$^3$ horizonless geometries that have the same charges and angular momenta as a D1-D5-P black hole with a large horizon area. At large and intermediate distances, these geometries very closely approximate the extremal-BTZ$\,\times\,$S$^3$ geometry of the black hole, but instead of having an event horizon, these geometries have a smooth highly-redshifted global-AdS$_3\,\times\,$S$^3$ cap in the IR. We show that the response function of a scalar probe, in momentum space, is essentially given by the pole structure of the highly-redshifted global-AdS$_3$ modulated by the BTZ response function. In position space, this translates into a sharp exponential black-hole-like decay for times shorter than $N_1 N_5$, followed by the emergence of evenly spaced "echoes from the cap," with period $\sim N_1 N_5$. Our result shows that horizonless microstate geometries can have the same thermal decay as black holes without the associated information loss.

description: Trapped matter-wave interferometers (TMIs) present a platform for precision sensing within a compact apparatus, extending coherence time by repeated traversal of a confining potential. However, imperfections in this potential can introduce unwanted systematic effects, particularly when combined with errors in the associated beamsplitter operations. This can affect both the interferometer phase and visibility, and can make the performance more sensitive to other experimental imperfections. I examine the character and degree of these systematic effects, in particular within the context of 2D TMIs applicable for rotation sensing. I show that current experimental control can enable these interferometers to operate in a regime robust against experimental imperfections.

A lexical database tool for quantitative phonological research
Creators: name: Bird, Steven
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: A lexical database tool tailored for phonological research is described. Database fields include transcriptions, glosses and hyperlinks to speech files. Database queries are expressed using HTML forms, and these permit regular expression search on any combination of fields. Regular expressions are passed directly to a Perl CGI program, enabling the full flexibility of Perl extended regular expressions. The regular expression notation is extended to better support phonological searches, such as search for minimal pairs. Search results are presented in the form of HTML or LaTeX tables, where each cell is either a number (representing frequency) or a designated subset of the fields. Tables have up to four dimensions, with an elegant system for specifying which fragments of which fields should be used for the row/column labels. The tool offers several advantages over traditional methods of analysis: (i) it supports a quantitative method of doing phonological research; (ii) it gives universal access to the same set of informants; (iii) it enables other researchers to hear the original speech data without having to rely on published transcriptions; (iv) it makes the full power of regular expression search available, and search results are full multimedia documents; and (v) it enables the early refutation of false hypotheses, shortening the analysis-hypothesis-test loop. A life-size application to an African tone language (Dschang) is used for exemplification throughout the paper. The database contains 2200 records, each with approximately 15 fields. Running on a PC laptop with a stand-alone web server, the `Dschang HyperLexicon' has already been used extensively in phonological fieldwork and analysis in Cameroon.

description: This paper will seek to address what, if any, ethical and moral proscriptions about homosexuality can be found in the Bible. The argument is shaped by addressing the legacies of the historiography of homosexuality, exploring the ways in which homosexuality has been studied in the fields of history and New Testament studies. What Paul is thought to condemn, in those passages cited by those who seek "homosexuality" in the New Testament (particularly Romans and 1 Corinthians), is more accurately described as specific forms of exploitative sexual exchange, operating within institutions and structures of slavery within the Roman Empire. This paper maps the timeline of the historiography of New Testament and "homosexuality" studies alongside the development of the organizations of the Religious Right that appeared in the early 1980s, demonstrating the parallel developments of scholarly and political discourse on homosexuality during this time, paying particular attention to the timeline of what came to be called the HIV/AIDS epidemic. This paper will argue that the focus of HIV/AIDS discourse on gayness and homosexuality in the early stages of the epidemic was directly related to the neglect and lack of care resources directed at other marginalized groups severely affected by the epidemic, and address the harmful legacies of this period in the history of the study of "homosexuality" in the New Testament.

description: This study evaluated the impact of a professional development program (PDP) on science lecturers' level of knowledge/understanding and the extent of use of modern technologies for improving their self-efficacy in teaching in the areas of students' engagement, instructional strategies, and classroom management, in some selected universities in Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive survey design. The sample was 269 lecturers. The researchers adapted the teacher sense of efficacy scale (TSES) developed by Tschannen-Moran and Hoy (2001) for the study. The TSES has two parts (1) and (2) that contained 12 questions each. It was a validated instrument, with overall reliability indices of 0.92 and 0.95 respectively determined using Cronbach’s Alpha. The data obtained were analyzed with mean, standard deviation, and paired sample t-test. The study found that the PDP improved the lecturers' understanding of modern technologies and self-efficacy in teaching (t (268) = 30.959, p = 0.000 ˂ 0.05). Also, the PDP improved the lecturers’ extent of utilisation of modern technologies and self-efficacy in teaching (t (268) = 28.510, p = .000 ˂ .05). The study also found that the lecturers’ understanding of modern technologies after the PDP was high, but their use of modern technologies in teaching was still low. The researchers recommended that science lecturers' participation in PDPs should be regular to ©Authors This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International License (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0).

description: The main operations in Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) are generalization and specialization, which only make sense in a generality order. In ILP, the three most important generality orders are subsumption, implication and implication relative to background knowledge. The two languages used most often are languages of clauses and languages of only Horn clauses. This gives a total of six different ordered languages. In this paper, we give a systematic treatment of the existence or non-existence of least generalizations and greatest specializations of finite sets of clauses in each of these six ordered sets. We survey results already obtained by others and also contribute some answers of our own. Our main new results are, firstly, the existence of a computable least generalization under implication of every finite set of clauses containing at least one non-tautologous function-free clause (among other, not necessarily function-free clauses). Secondly, we show that such a least generalization need not exist under relative implication, not even if both the set that is to be generalized and the background knowledge are function-free. Thirdly, we give a complete discussion of existence and non-existence of greatest specializations in each of the six ordered languages.

description: The resolvent formulation of McKeon & Sharma (2010) is applied to supersonic turbulent boundary layers to study the validity of Morkovin's hypothesis, which postulates that high-speed turbulence structures in zero pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layers remain largely the same as its incompressible counterpart. Supersonic zero-pressure-gradient turbulent boundary layers with adiabatic wall boundary conditions at Mach numbers ranging from 2 to 4 are considered. Resolvent analysis highlights two distinct regions of the supersonic turbulent boundary layer in the wave parameter space: the relatively supersonic region and the relatively subsonic region. In the relatively supersonic region, where the flow is supersonic relative to the freestream, resolvent modes display structures consistent with Mach wave radiation that are absent in the incompressible regime. In the relatively subsonic region, we show that the low-rank approximation of the resolvent operator is an effective approximation of the full system and that the response modes predicted by the model exhibit universal and geometrically self-similar behaviour via a transformation given by the semi-local scaling. Moreover, with the semi-local scaling, we show that the resolvent modes follow the same scaling law as their incompressible counterparts in this region, which has implications for modelling and the prediction of turbulent high-speed wall-bounded flows. We also show that the thermodynamic variables exhibit similar mode shapes to the streamwise velocity modes, supporting the strong Reynolds analogy. Finally, we demonstrate that the principal resolvent modes can be used to capture the energy distribution between momentum and thermodynamic fluctuations.

description: Currently, India’s limited regulation on outpatient healthcare services enables unqualified, and potentially untrained, healthcare providers to operate widely in the market. Free market entry of healthcare providers, coupled with price variability for government doctor services and wide variance in consumers’ perception of healthcare provider quality makes for a dynamic market. The “free market” characteristics of rural outpatient healthcare provide a rich context to test the role that prices, alongside consumer perceptions of healthcare provider quality, play in determining consumer choice of healthcare provider. However, principal agent characteristics of north India’s outpatient market suggest that the market is not competitive. Using the economic framework of consumer demand, this thesis presents a comprehensive empirical analysis of consumer demand for outpatient healthcare treating a fever in rural north India. More specifically, the study incorporates revealed preference (RP) and stated choice (SC) survey data in estimating the demand models. In so doing, a number of explanatory preference and perception variables are demonstrated as important in estimating the demand for village-based unqualified private healthcare providers (known in Hindi as jhola chhaap) and qualified government and private healthcare providers.

description: Campylobacter jejuni is a major cause of human bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide, however despite its importance, relatively little is known about its mechanisms of pathogenesis or interaction with the host. Previous studies have identified flagella, motility, and other surface structures as essential requirements for C. jejuni pathogenesis, with exact interactions still to be elucidated. It has been hypothesised that C. jejuni interacts with cell surface glycoproteins known as mucins; these structures have previously been identified as chemoattractants for C. jejuni. Specifically, MUC1 is a membrane bound mucin expressed on the cell surface of the epithelium lining the gastric mucosa. This study proposed that C. jejuni interacts with MUC1 to facilitate attachment and penetration into host mucosal cells. To investigate this hypothesis, in vitro co-cultures using an intestinal cell line expressing MUC1 were employed. Co-culture assays showed correlation with previous observations that MUC1 promotes more rapid adherence to the cell surface, and further demonstrated adherence and invasion of C. jejuni 81116 was significantly increased in the presence of MUC1. Additionally, an alternative co-culture assay that uses incubating conditions that resemble the gastrointestinal mucosa more closely was established. These assay conditions produced more reliable and consistent assay data for a microaerophilic organism.
Anytime Prediction and Learning for the Balance between Computation and Accuracy

subject: FOS: Psychology

description: When choosing machine learning algorithms, one often has to balance between two opposing factors, the computational speed and the accuracy of predictors. The trade-off during testing is often difficult to balance, because the test-time computational budget may be agnostic at training, and the budget may vary during testing. Analogously, given a novel data-set, one often lacks prior knowledge in the appropriate predictor complexity and training computation, and furthermore, may want to interrupt or prolong the training based on training results. In this work, we address these trade-offs between computation and accuracy via anytime
prediction and learning, which are algorithms that can be interrupted at any time and still produce valid solutions. Furthermore, the quality of the results improves with the consumed computation before interruption. With the versatility to adjust to any budget, anytime algorithms automatically utilize any agnostic computational budget to the maximum extent. To address the test-time trade-off, we study anytime predictors, whose prediction computation
can be interrupted during testing. We start with developing provably near-optimal anytime linear predictors, and derive a theoretical performance limitation for anytime predictors that are based on ensemble methods. Then we develop practical anytime predictions within individual neural networks via multi-objective optimization. Furthermore, leveraging these anytime predictors as weak learners, we circumvent the performance limitation on ensemble-based anytime predictors. For the train-time trade-off, we consider the neural architecture search problem, where one
seeks the optimal neural network structure for a data-set. We draw a parallel between this bi-level combinatorial optimization problem and the feature selection problem for linear prediction, and develop an iterative network growth algorithm that is inspired by a forward selection algorithm.
We also consider the problem of training on large data-sets, and develop no-regret gradient boosting algorithms for stochastic data streams.

Battery-Free Wireless Sensors for Internet-of-Things and Cyberphysical Systems

description: Zero-power ubiquitous wireless sensors have been the subject of intense research in the past few years because of their wide uses in internet-of-things (IoTs), industrial 4.0, smart cities, wireless healthcare and environmental monitoring. Compared to the conventional wired connection systems, wireless platforms have the advantages of reduced area occupation, more mobilities of devices and longer interrogating distance, which enable a virtually ubiquitous access to information in a communication network. However, the development of these ever-increasing wireless nodes and the combination of heterogeneous networks have already generated a space-crowded and rich-scattering environment, which require future wireless systems with the capability to effectively suppress the electromagnetic interference and efficiently optimize the usage of space, power, and communication bandwidth.
This work will theoretically and experimentally study innovative RF solutions to address the aforementioned challenges, including but not limited to (i) Compact and hybrid-fed antennas for harmonic wireless sensing applications; (ii) Absolute wireless sensing approach based on harmonic analysis enabled by frequency-hopping spread spectrum; (iii) Flexible harmonic sensors with multiplexed sensing capabilities for rapid, contactless microfluidic diagnosis.
Comparing the expressive power of the Synchronous and the Asynchronous pi-calculus

description: The Asynchronous pi-calculus, as recently proposed by Boudol and, independently, by Honda and Tokoro, is a subset of the pi-calculus which contains no explicit operators for choice and output-prefixing. The communication mechanism of this calculus, however, is powerful enough to simulate output-prefixing, as shown by Boudol, and input-guarded choice, as shown recently by Nestmann and Pierce. A natural question arises, then, whether or not it is possible to embed in it the full pi-calculus. We show that this is not possible, i.e. there does not exist any uniform, parallel-preserving, translation from the pi-calculus into the asynchronous pi-calculus, up to any ``reasonable'' notion of equivalence. This result is based on the incapablity of the asynchronous pi-calculus of breaking certain symmetries possibly present in the initial communication graph. By similar arguments, we prove a separation result between the pi-calculus and CCS.

title: Organisational climate and its influence upon performance: A study of Australian hotels in South East Queensland

description: This study gathered data from 14 four to five-star hotels in South-East Queensland, Australia, in an attempt to examine the nature and degree of influence organisational climate has upon the performance of hotels. Employee perception of customer satisfaction was studied both as an index of performance and as an intervening variable between organisational climate and financial performance as indexed by revenue per available room (REVPAR). The data provided a description of a young, relatively gender balanced, well educated and trained work force which received relatively low levels of financial remuneration and displayed very high levels of turnover. A new instrument was used to measure the dimensions of organisational climate across the hotels. This instrument represented a modification of that presented by Ryder and Southey (1990), which itself was a modification of the 145 item psychological climate questionnaire of Jones and James (1979). The instrument represented a subset of 70 items of the Ryder and Southey instrument. Responses to all items within the instrument were on a 7 point anchored scale. Principal components analysis (PCA) produced results consistent with earlier versions of the instrument, which had been reported elsewhere. This analysis described organisational climate within the sample to be composed of 7 underlying dimensions; Leader facilitation and support, Professional and organisational esprit, Conflict and ambiguity, Regulations, organisation and pressure, Job variety, challenge and autonomy, Workgroup co-operation, friendliness and warmth, and Job standards. These dimensions were judged to be consistent with those reported earlier by Jones and James, and by Ryder and Southey. Poor support was found for the first structural model that proposed that employee demographic variables would affect organisational climate and that organisational climate would affect customer satisfaction (although the latter link was quite strong). The most important finding of the study was the support for a second structural model when it was found that variation in the 7 dimensions of organisational climate accounted for 30% of the variation in Employee Perception of Customer Satisfaction. Furthermore, that Employee Perception of Customer Satisfaction accounted for 23% of the variation in REVPAR between the hotels. Possible extensions of this study using direct measures of customer satisfaction and expanding it to include hotels of different star ratings are discussed.

description: Dissipative engineering constitutes a framework within which quantum information processing protocols are powered by system-environment interaction rather than by unitary dynamics alone. This framework embraces noise as a resource and, consequently, offers a number of advantages compared to one based on unitary dynamics alone, e.g., that the protocols are typically independent of the initial state of the system. However, the time independent nature of this scheme makes it difficult to imagine precisely timed sequential operations, conditional measurements, or error correction. In this work, we provide a path around these challenges, by introducing basic dissipative gadgets which allow us to precisely initiate, trigger, and time dissipative operations while keeping the system Liouvillian time independent. These gadgets open up novel perspectives for thinking of timed dissipative quantum information processing. As an example, we sketch how measurement-based computation can be simulated in the dissipative setting.

description: We study the Anderson orthogonality catastrophe, and the corresponding x-ray edge problem, in systems that are at a localization transition driven by a deterministic quasiperiodic potential. Specifically, we address how the ground state of the Aubry-Andre model, at its critical point, responds to an instantaneous local quench. At this critical point, both the single-particle wavefunctions and the density of states are fractal. We find, numerically, that the overlap between post-quench and pre-quench wavefunctions, as well as the "core-hole" Green function, evolve in a complex, non-monotonic way with system size and time respectively. We interpret our results in terms of the fractal density of states at this critical point. In a given sample, as the post-quench time increases, the system resolves increasingly finely spaced minibands, leading to a series of alternating temporal regimes in which the response is flat or algebraically decaying. In addition, the fractal critical wavefunctions give rise to a quench response that varies strongly from site to site across the sample, which produces broad distributions of many-body observables. Upon averaging this broad distribution over samples, we recover coarse-grained power laws and dynamical exponents characterizing the x-ray edge singularity. We discuss how these features can be probed in ultra-cold atomic gases using radio-frequency spectroscopy and Ramsey interference.
