description: We consider Bayesian inference for stochastic differential equation mixed effects models (SDEMEMs) exemplifying tumor response to treatment and regrowth in mice. We produce an extensive study on how a SDEMEM can be fitted using both exact inference based on pseudo-marginal MCMC and approximate inference via Bayesian synthetic likelihoods (BSL). We investigate a two-compartments SDEMEM, these corresponding to the fractions of tumor cells killed by and survived to a treatment, respectively. Case study data considers a tumor xenography study with two treatment groups and one control, each containing 5-8 mice. Results from the case study and from simulations indicate that the SDEMEM is able to reproduce the observed growth patterns and that BSL is a robust tool for inference in SDEMEMs. Finally, we compare the fit of the SDEMEM to a similar ordinary differential equation model. Due to small sample sizes, strong prior information is needed to identify all model parameters in the SDEMEM and it cannot be determined which of the two models is the better in terms of predicting tumor growth curves. In a simulation study we find that with a sample of 17 mice per group BSL is able to identify all model parameters and distinguish treatment groups.

OPTICAL ATTENUATION COEFFICIENTS IN OCEANIC AND ESTUARINE WATERS
Creators: name: Pilgrim, Derek Arthur
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1988

description: Published hydro-optical theory pertinent to this study is critically reviewed; the optical quality of the instrumentation used is assessed and a method is proposed for judging the angular response of a diffuse collector. Consideration is given to the possibility of self shading, by an Undulating Oceanographic Recorder (UOR), of upwelling irradiance measurements; this would adversely affect the calculation of reflectance, an important optical parameter in remote sensor calibration work. A selection of optical measurements made at estuarine, coastal and deep sea locations are analysed and empirical relationships between optical coefficients are presented. A sample set of data obtained by means of a UOR during a tow across the Arctic Front is considered in detail, and a simple analysis of the contributing components of the diffuse attenuation coefficient is carried out. Since underwater visibility is limited by the beam and diffuse attenuation coefficients, diver observations of targets of known optical quality should provide a simple means of estimating these. Two methods suggested in the literature are considered but rejected on both theoretical and practical grounds; new methods are proposed, tested, found satisfactory and recommended for diver use. Relationships are established between the turbidity and the penetration of light in an estuarine environment. The proportion of light reaching the bed of an estuary depends upon the depth and turbidity, and this may be represented by the diffuse optical depth of the bed, Jh. Theoretical considerations show that Jh(t ) varies at twice the tidal frequency and this is confirmed by field observations . Calculations indicate that the same phenomenon must occur in coastal waters where tidal ranges and tidal variations in turbidity are significant. Certain aspects of hydro-optical research that require further work are identified, and viable programmes of investigation are proposed.

The role of the Vietnamese equity capital market in fostering business development and economic growth

This study evaluates Vietnam’s equity market in facilitating the sourcing of capital for business development and economic growth in an emerging and transition market environment. Vietnam’s economy is considered to be an “emerging market” and a “transition market”. The term “emerging market” describes an economy with nascent capital markets that is of high-risk and higher volatility than advanced industrialized economies and the absence of a history of foreign investment (Mody 2004). Vietnam is still a “transition market” as its economy is still in the process of moving from a centrally planned to a market economy with remarkable economic progress in recent years. The country’s Doi Moi or “renovation” policy for transition to a market economy introduced in the late 1980s has seen the implementation of macroeconomic and structural reforms that have been generally successful and sustainable. As part of market reform, Vietnam’s financial markets needs to be more market driven as opposed to the predominantly bank-based system that exists now. Therefore, it is important to gain a greater understanding of the role and impact of equity capital on Vietnam’s emerging market because of its implications as a stimulus for business creation, economic growth and international development from its inspiration to become an industrialised country and as a member of the WTO. The role of equity markets as a stimulus for economic expansion is widely evident in the literature; therefore, this study investigates those factors that influence the development of Vietnam’s equity market to provide knowledge and valuable insights for enhancing its performance.

For the study, subjective imageability ratings were solicited both from persons known to the author and from persons not known. The latter were Amazon Mechanical Turk (AMT) workers recruited to provide crowd-sourced ratings. The instructions given below were presented to the persons known to the author. The instructions presented to the AMT workers (not given here) were identical except that they lacked the chatty bits near the end. The study required collection of imageability ratings for specific meanings of the 150 targeted phrasal verbs (PVs). Consequently, many of these PVs were presented to raters along with a brief disambiguating note (e.g., a gloss). However, some of the 150 PVs have only one meaning that is at all frequent in discourse. These PVs were presented without a disambiguating note. The 310-item list given here includes all the disambiguating notes.

description: The possibility of the mechanical detection of the Casimir friction using the non-contact force microscope is discussed. On a SiO2 tip situated above a graphene-covered SiO2 substrate will act the frictional drag force mediated by a fluctuating electromagnetic field produced by a current in the graphene sheet. This friction force will produce the bending of the cantilever, which can be measured by state-of-art non-contact force microscope. Both the thermal and quantum contributions to the Casimir frictional drag force can be studied using this experimental setup. This result paves the ways for the mechanical detection of the Casimir friction and for the application of the frictional drag effect in micro- and nano- electromechanical devices (MEMS and NEMS).

description: Since trans-Planckian considerations can be associated with the re-definition of the initial vacuum, we investigate further the influence of trans-Planckian physics on the spectra produced by the initial quasi-de Sitter (dS) state during inflation. We use the asymptotic-dS mode to study the trans-Planckian correction of the power spectrum to the quasi-dS inflation. The obtained spectra consist of higher order corrections associated with the type of geometry and harmonic terms sensitive to the fluctuations of space-time (or gravitational waves) during inflation. As an important result, the amplitude of the power spectrum is dependent on the choice of $c$, i.e. the type of space-time in the period of inflation. Also, the results are always valid for any asymptotic dS space-time and particularly coincide with the conventional results for dS and flat space-time.

description: Fuzzy controllers are efficient and interpretable system controllers for continuous state and action spaces. To date, such controllers have been constructed manually or trained automatically either using expert-generated problem-specific cost functions or incorporating detailed knowledge about the optimal control strategy. Both requirements for automatic training processes are not found in most real-world reinforcement learning (RL) problems. In such applications, online learning is often prohibited for safety reasons because online learning requires exploration of the problem's dynamics during policy training. We introduce a fuzzy particle swarm reinforcement learning (FPSRL) approach that can construct fuzzy RL policies solely by training parameters on world models that simulate real system dynamics. These world models are created by employing an autonomous machine learning technique that uses previously generated transition samples of a real system. To the best of our knowledge, this approach is the first to relate self-organizing fuzzy controllers to model-based batch RL. Therefore, FPSRL is intended to solve problems in domains where online learning is prohibited, system dynamics are relatively easy to model from previously generated default policy transition samples, and it is expected that a relatively easily interpretable control policy exists. The efficiency of the proposed approach with problems from such domains is demonstrated using three standard RL benchmarks, i.e., mountain car, cart-pole balancing, and cart-pole swing-up. Our experimental results demonstrate high-performing, interpretable fuzzy policies.

Social construction of Taiwanese intergenerational caregiving in families with frail older people

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the School of Nursing, Faculty of Health Sciences, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

This doctoral study explored the experiences of intergenerational caregiving in Taiwanese families with frail older people. Using a case study methodology twelve families were recruited through community services in southern and northern Taiwan. A total of 32 family members across three generations agreed to participate in the study. This included the care recipient and caregivers: 11 frail older people, 3 spouse caregivers, 10 adult child caregivers and 8 grandchildren. Data collection methods included: individual semi-structured interviews, socio-demographic survey and ecomaps that mapped individual participant’s support networks. A grounded theory approach to data analysis was used. The theoretical lens of social constructionism was used to examine how sociocultural contexts constructed intergenerational caregiving. Evidence from this study revealed that the meaningful reality of intergenerational caregiving was a product of social construction. At a micro level intergenerational caregiving was shaped by interactions between people in their social world that were dictated by cultural norms and social structures at a macro level. Taiwanese intergenerational caregiving was a construction of searching for normality in everyday life. With the older person’s increasing frailty, families needed to decide who, how and where care would be provided. This life changing event disrupted established family routines and created a physical and psychosocial burden for caregivers. Tensions arose in interpersonal relationships within and across generations as traditional and emerging new sociocultural norms collided. Families, therefore, needed to reframe the way they lived through a variety of behaviour-focused and cognitive strategies. Formal health care services constructed by experts contributed little to assist families in their struggle to maintain normality. If families are to continue to care for their frail older person as expected by government, health professionals and the Taiwanese community changes to policy and health professional practice are required.

description: We investigate generalisations of the classical percolation critical probabilities $p_c$, $p_T$ and the critical probability $\tilde{p_c}$ defined by Duminil-Copin and Tassion (2015) to bounded degree unimodular random graphs. We further examine Schramm's conjecture in the case of unimodular random graphs: does $p_c(G_n)$ converge to $p_c(G)$ if $G_n\to G$ in the local weak sense? Among our results are the following: 1. $p_c=\tilde{p_c}$ holds for bounded degree unimodular graphs. However, there are unimodular graphs with sub-exponential volume growth and $p_T < p_c$; i.e., the classical sharpness of phase transition does not hold. 2. We give conditions which imply $\lim p_c(G_n) = p_c(\lim G_n)$. 3. There are sequences of unimodular graphs such that $G_n\to G$ but $p_c(G)>\lim p_c(G_n)$ or $p_c(G)

Between Selves and Others: Exploring Strategic Approaches within Visual Art

description: Full version unavailable due to 3rd party copyright restrictions.
description: This body of research investigates how visual artists express ideas or meanings about Otherness and issues of belonging in their art. The focus of this study is on women artists with an (East) Asian diasporic background; however, the context of the inquiry includes other American and European artists of various cultural backgrounds. A further aim is to explore the artistic strategies and the historical circumstances of the works as well as to understand the theoretical correlations. The author of this study is a visual artist who has been exploring similar issues in her own artistic practice. In order to examine various themes of Otherness, selected pairs of artists – where at least one is a woman artist of (East) Asian diasporic background – are compared and analysed using the following four categories: literary devices (such as irony, parody, connotation or juxtaposition), reappropriation (cultural references which are reclaimed and transformed), anamorphic situations (distortion of conventional ways of viewing in order to become aware of other bodily senses and experiences), and theoretical correlations (connections between artistic practice and relevant theoretical concepts). The specific artists and artworks chosen are: Yoko Ono’s Cut Piece (1965) with Patty Chang’s Melons (at a Loss) (1998), Lorna Simpson’s work in the 1980s and 1990s with Nikki S. Lee’s Projects (1997-2001), Guillermo Gómez-Peña with Fiona Tan, and Yong Soon Min with Mona Hatoum. In addition, the author presents critical social and cultural developments that influenced these works such as the historical background of representations of Asian women in America, the rise of the Asian American movement, and the shift in contemporary art discourse from concerns of ‘identity politics’ to a ‘post-identity’ framework. Finally, correlations are made between the artistic strategies and relevant theoretical discussions about representations of race and gender, the role of power, knowledge, and truth in ethnographic practices of identification and categorization, and the function of place and ‘cultural identity’ in relation to concepts of origin and belonging. The results of this research confirm the significance of cultural, historical, and geographic experiences on both the conception and reception of visual art and indicate that various artistic strategies have the potential to expose and undermine culturally constructed meanings of difference. Despite the abundance of research conducted in this area, the scope and framework of this particular study are original not only because it is written from the perspective of a practicing artist, but also because the focus on artistic practices from women artists with (East) Asian diasporic backgrounds is located within a more wide-ranging investigation of artistic approaches that articulate and interrogate themes of Otherness.

description: Children’s vision screening children commonly uses optotype-based visual acuity or instrument-based methods measuring amblyogenic risk factors (ARFs). To compare the performance of the Spot Vision Screener (SVS) (PediaVision, Welch Allyn, NY) and a nurse-administered visual acuity screen (NVAS) in identifying ARFs and decreased visual acuity. A prospective, cross-sectional population-based study of preschool children in South-East Queensland, Australia. Eligible participants had both forms of screening by trained community nurses. All children with an abnormal result by either method as well as a cohort of randomly selected children who passed both assessments were assessed at a tertiary paediatric ophthalmology clinic. Over a 10 month period, 2237 children (mean age; 64.4 ± 4.0 months) were screened from 38 schools. 6.4% of children failed SVS and 8.3% failed NVAS (with 3.8% overlap, failing both). The positive predictive value (PPV) in identifying either ARFs and/or reduced VA for the SVS and NVAS was 70.4% (95% Confidence Interval (CI): 61.6%–78.2%) and 60.5% (95% CI: 52.6%–67.9%) respectively. Highest PPV to detect either ARFs and/or reduced VA was achieved by a ‘hybrid’ method by combining failed NVAS and failed SVS: 91.0% (95% CI: 82.4 to 96.3) but this would risk children with sight impairment being missed in the community. To our knowledge, this is the first population-based study providing detailed comparative measures of diagnostic accuracy for NVAS and SVS in preschool children. One in ten preschool children failed one or both screens. A number of children who required ophthalmic intervention were missed if only one screening method was utilized.

description: Die Vernetzung von Software über das Internet und andere Kanäle stellt eine grundsätzliche Gefahr für die Sicherheit von Daten und Systemen dar. Gelangen Informationen in die falschen Hände können enorme wirtschaftliche und soziale Schäden entstehen. Es ist deshalb wichtig die Sicherheit von Systemen bereits zur Entwurfszeit zu berücksichtigen. Mittels Analysewerkzeugen auf Architektursicht können Sicherheitseigenschaften auf einer höheren Abstraktionsebene frühzeitig definiert und überprüft werden. Auf Quelltextsicht bieten statische, musterbasierte Analysewerkzeuge einen Ansatz zur Überprüfung der korrekten Verwendung von kritischen Schnittstellen. Bisher wurde noch keine Kombination dieser beiden Analyseansätze vorgenommen, um die auf Architektursicht getroffenen Annahmen der im Quelltext umgesetzten Sicherheitseigenschaften definiert auf Aufrufabhängigkeiten auf fehlerhafte Umsetzung zu überprüfen. Deshalb wird untersucht, wie sich eine Kopplung der beiden Sichten und eine Rückführung der Ergebnisse einer Quelltextanalyse in die Architektursicht realisieren lässt. Die vorliegende Arbeit definiert zunächst die für eine Kopplung notwendigen Eigenschaften der Analysen. Darauf basierend wird dann ein Ansatz für eine Kopplung konzipiert. Eine konkrete Umsetzung des Ansatzes wurde im Rahmen der vorliegenden Arbeit mit der Zugriffsanalyse von Kramer auf Architektursicht und CogniCrypt auf Quelltextsicht in Java vorgenommen. Die Evaluation des Ansatzes erfolgt anhand eines Fallbeispiels. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Kopplung von Architekturanalysen mit musterbasierten Quelltextsicherheitsanalysen für Sicherheitseigenschaften von Aufrufabhängigkeiten machbar ist und dass durch die Kopplung von Quelltextfehlern mit der Architekturanalyse zusätzliche Schwachstellen aufgedeckt werden.

description: We introduce a new family of numerical algorithms for approximating solutions of general high-dimensional semilinear parabolic partial differential equations at single space-time points. The algorithm is obtained through a delicate combination of the Feynman-Kac and the Bismut-Elworthy-Li formulas, and an approximate decomposition of the Picard fixed-point iteration with multilevel accuracy. The algorithm has been tested on a variety of semilinear partial differential equations that arise in physics and finance, with very satisfactory results. Analytical tools needed for the analysis of such algorithms, including a semilinear Feynman-Kac formula, a new class of semi-norms and their recursive inequalities, are also introduced. They allow us to prove for semilinear heat equations with gradient-independent nonlinearity that the computational complexity of the proposed algorithm is bounded by $O(d\,\varepsilon^{-(4+δ)})$ for any $δ\in (0,\infty)$ under suitable assumptions, where $d\in \mathbb{N}$ is the dimensionality of the problem and $\varepsilon\in(0,\infty)$ is the prescribed accuracy.

description: To review and summarize information on meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) epidemiology in Africa. A systematic search of online databases was conducted for literature/studies on MGD in Africa. Meta-analysis was conducted to estimate the prevalence of MGD in Africa. Meta-regression was used to explore sources of heterogeneity. Twelve studies conducted in five countries were included in the review. All studies were hospital-based studies. Nine studies were included in the meta-analysis; the total sample size was 4963 and participants’ age range was 17–96 years. The overall prevalence estimate of MGD in Africa was 45.9% (95% CI: 27.6–64.1%). Prevalence of MGD among males and females were each pooled from three studies and in urban and rural setting from 6 and 3 studies, respectively. Prevalence of MGD among males and females were 56.0% (95% CI: 22.4–89.5%) and 58.9% (95% CI: 28.5–89.4%) respectively; in urban and rural settings were 42.8% (95% CI: 21.1–64.5%) and 65.7% (95% CI: 25.7–95.7%), respectively. There was no association of MGD with sex (p = .872) and with study setting (p = .231). There is a paucity of evidence on MGD prevalence in Africa, emphasizing the need for epidemiological studies to enhance our understanding of region-specific differences in MGD in Africa. The pooled estimate from hospital-based studies, however, suggests a substantial MGD burden in Africa. Epidemiological studies are needed to assess if this translates to a high disease burden within the general African population.

description: The optomechanical force sensor in non-Markovian environment for a mechanical oscillator is presented. By performing homodyne detection we obtain an generally expression for the output signal. It is shown that the weak force detection is sensitive to the non-Markovian environment. The additional noise can be obviously reduced comparing to the Markovian condition. Moreover, the optimal additional noise can be maintained in a rather low level without using assistant system or squeezing under available experimental condition in unsolved sideband regime. Our results provides a promising platform for reducing the additional noise by using engineered non-Markovian reservoir in ultrasensitive detection.

Towards English as a Lingua Franca: Vietnamese teachers’ and learners’ perceptions

Publisher: name: La Trobe

English teaching in Vietnam is strongly influenced by native speaker models imported from the UK and the USA. There is concern that language teaching policy and practice do not reflect the needs of English language learners in Vietnam. There have been calls for a greater recognition of non-standard English as a Lingua Franca. Recent Vietnamese research, building on international frameworks, suggests the current situation, in which teachers and learners strongly prefer native speaker English but recognise the gap between what is taught and what is used, is paradoxical. My thesis investigates the perceptions of this paradox in a sample of 240 university teachers and students from Hue and Ho Chi Minh City. Most participants do recognise a large gap between English taught (native speaker UK and American) and English used, which is a mixture of native speaker and other varieties (local, regional and English spoken by other nonnative speakers, especially work colleagues and foreign tourists). The so-called paradox, on closer inspection, is actually a complex interaction of quite rational choices by both teachers and learners. They recognise the problems of replacing ‘standard’ English with ELF as a model for pedagogy. But they want an infusion of ELF into teaching to provide skills for communicating with nonnative speakers. There are differences between groups of students related to maturity and experience in the workplace, and quite marked differences between participants from Hue and HCMC, perhaps reflecting varying linguistic and historical influences. Given the strength of native speaker influence, it is difficult to predict short term change in the perceptions and practices of teachers and students. But the strong demand for intercultural awareness and varietal skills suggests that there will be pressure for change in at least curriculum policy and assessment practices in Vietnamese universities, especially those involved in the preparation of future English language school teachers.

description: Purpose: We aimed to review available data on the incidence of herpes simplex virus (HSV) keratitis and other HSV ocular disease and to estimate the global burden of HSV ocular disease. Methods: We searched Medline and Embase databases to October 2020 for studies reporting on the incidence of HSV ocular disease. Study quality was evaluated using a four-point checklist. Pooled estimates were applied to 2016 population data to estimate global HSV ocular disease burden. Numbers with uniocular vision impairment (any visual acuity <6/12) were estimated by applying published risks to case numbers. Results: Fourteen studies had incidence data; seven met our quality criteria. In 2016, an estimated 1.7 (95% confidence interval, 95% CI 1.0–3.0) million people had HSV keratitis, based on a pooled incidence of 24.0 (95% CI 14.0–41.0; N = 2; I2 = 97.7%) per 100,000 person-years. The majority had epithelial keratitis (pooled incidence 16.1 per 100,000; 95% CI 11.6–22.3; N = 3; I2 = 92.6%). Available studies were few and limited to the USA and Europe. Data were even more limited for HSV uveitis and retinitis, although these conditions may collectively contribute a further >0.1 million cases. Based on global incidence, some 230,000 people may have newly acquired uniocular vision impairment associated with HSV keratitis in 2016. Conclusion: Over 1.8 million people may have herpetic eye disease annually. Preventing HSV infection could therefore have an important impact on eye health. Herpetic eye disease burden is likely to have been underestimated, as many settings outside of the USA and Europe have higher HSV-1 prevalence and poorer access to treatment.

Functors (between oo-categories) that aren't strictly unital

Subjects: subject: Category Theory (math.CT)

description: Let C and D be quasi-categories (a.k.a. infinity-categories). Suppose also that one has an assignment sending commutative diagrams of C to commutative diagrams of D which respects face maps, but not necessarily degeneracy maps. (This is akin to having an assignment which respects all compositions, but may not send identity morphisms to identity morphisms.) When does this assignment give rise to an actual functor? We show that if the original assignment can be shown to respect identity morphisms up to homotopy, then there exists an honest functor of infinity-categories which respects the original assignments up to homotopy. Moreover, we prove that such honest functors can be chosen naturally with respect to the original assignments.

The soldiers’ picnic: a study of narrative truth

The Soldiers’ Picnic is a metafictional narrative that investigates the relevance of an enigma to the understanding and construction of global plots. An enigma is an elaborate system of meaning theorised by Roland Barthes in S/Z. The book was published in French in 1970 and English in 1974. This thesis deals with the technicalities of an enigma at the level of practice and creates a model for future use. An enigma relies on covert sources of antagonism which this model attempts to identify and amplify. Seven novels have been used in the construction and testing of the model.

Hopf Bifurcation in an Oscillatory-Excitatory Reaction-Diffusion Model with Spatial heterogeneity
Creators: name: Ambrosio, B.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Dynamical Systems (math.DS)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We focus on the qualitative analysis of a reaction-diffusion with spatial heterogeneity. The system is a generalization of the well known FitzHugh-Nagumo system in which the excitability parameter is space dependent. This heterogeneity allows to exhibit concomitant stationary and oscillatory phenomena. We prove the existence of an Hopf bifurcation and determine an equation of the center-manifold in which the solution asymptotically evolves. Numerical simulations illustrate the phenomenon.
