description: We present electrically detected electron nuclear double resonance measurements of the nuclear spins of ionized and neutral arsenic donors in strained silicon. In addition to a reduction of the hyperfine coupling, we find significant quadrupole interactions of the nuclear spin of the neutral donors of the order of 10 kHz. By comparing these to the quadrupole shifts due to crystal fields measured for the ionized donors, we identify the effect of the additional electron on the electric field gradient at the nucleus. This extra component is expected to be caused by the coupling to electric field gradients created due to changes in the electron wavefunction under strain.

description: Construction 3D Printing has been growing rapidly enabling construction sector to overcome long-standing challenges such as low productivity and slow construction speed. Most of the industrial 3D printing technologies print with fine mortar and follow assembly of prefabricated elements either off or on-site. Another approach often followed is printing lost formwork with mortar and then filling with conventional concrete. All these approaches have many limitations including proneness to shrinkages cracks, high CO2-footprint, high material usage and high production & transportation costs.In contrast to other technologies the Karlos (see Fig. 1) 3D Printing technology focuses on the on-site production of load-bearing walls with coarse aggregated concrete. The printed structures use standardized ready-mix concrete, and are massive with right-angled corners and flat surfaces, thus enabling application of existing norms for the structural design and material approvals (see Fig. 2). In 2023, first on-site printing projects with Karlos mobile on-site printer are completed in Germany and has demonstrated the potential of this innovative technology. The truck-mounted Karlos boom printer has integrated piston-pump and advanced control software which enable mobility, faster-setup, and in-situ production of large concrete structures such as multi-story houses and industrial buildings.

description: The intrinsic difficulties in extracting the hadron resonances from reaction data are illustrated by using several exactly soluble $ππ$ scattering models. The finite-volume Hamiltonian method is applied to predict spectra using two meson-exchange Hamiltonians of $πN$ reactions. Within a three-channel model with $πN$, $πΔ$ and $σN$ channels, we show the advantage of the finite-volume Hamiltonian method over the approach using the Lüscher formula to test Lattice QCD calculations aimed at predicting nucleon resonances. We discuss the necessary steps for using the ANL-Osaka eight-channel Hamiltonian to predict the spectra for testing the LQCD calculations for determining the excited nucleon states up to invariant mass $W= 2 $ GeV.

description: Lyra2REv2 is a hashing algorithm that consists of a chain of individual hashing algorithms, and it is used as a proof-of-work function in several cryptocurrencies. The most crucial and exotic hashing algorithm in the Lyra2REv2 chain is a specific instance of the general Lyra2 algorithm. This work presents the first hardware implementation of the specific instance of Lyra2 that is used in Lyra2REv2. Several properties of the aforementioned algorithm are exploited in order to optimize the design. In addition, an FPGA-based hardware implementation of a standalone miner for Lyra2REv2 on a Xilinx Multi-Processor System on Chip is presented. The proposed Lyra2REv2 miner is shown to be significantly more energy efficient than both a GPU and a commercially available FPGA-based miner. Finally, we also explain how the simplified Lyra2 and Lyra2REv2 architectures can be modified with minimal effort to also support the recent Lyra2REv3 chained hashing algorithm.

description: Présenté au Grand Conseil du Canton de Vaud lors de la séance du 30 juin 2015, le postulat « Philippe Vuillemin et consorts – Pour une meilleure protection du personnel soignant en EMS » part du constat que, si la maltraitance des personnes âgées est désormais reconnue et appréhendée par les différents acteurs concernés, celle à l’égard des soignant-e-s et des personnels travaillant en établissements médico-sociaux (EMS) et dans les centres médico-sociaux (CMS) est plus rarement évoquée publiquement.
description: Le postulat Vuillemin et consorts vise à combler cette lacune et à «faire reconnaître publiquement la réalité de ces violences verbales ou physiques, d’en connaître le nombre même si elles sont rares afin de permettre un certain nombre de mesures permettant au personnel de se défendre». A cette fin, le Service de la santé publique (SSP) du Canton de Vaud a mandaté l’Institut de médecine sociale et préventive (IUMSP) et son Centre d’expertise et d’évaluation en santé publique (CEESAN) pour réaliser une enquête auprès des collaborateurs et collaboratrices des EMS et des centres médico-sociaux (CMS) du canton.
description: Certain-e-s professionnel-le-s (par exemple : policier-ère-s, enseignant-e-s, personnels des établissements de santé) présentent des risques accrus d’être confrontées à des actes de violence à leur égard. Le travail isolé et le contact avec des clients, en particulier lorsqu’ils sont sous l’emprise de la drogue ou de l’alcool, quand ils sont connus pour avoir eu un passé violent ou qu’ils souffrent de maladies pouvant être associées à des comportements agressifs constituent ainsi des facteurs de risque. Le risque d’être confronté à la violence ou à des comportements agressifs concerne aussi les professionnel-le-s en contact avec des personnes atteintes dans leur santé, à domicile ou en institution. Des enquêtes menées dans les établissements médico-sociaux (EMS) ou auprès des professionnel-le-s du maintien à domicile, à l’étranger et en Suisse rapportent des taux relativement élevés d’exposition à la violence chez les soignants. On ne dispose en revanche d’aucune donnée concernant cette problématique pour la Suisse Romande ou pour le Canton de Vaud.

description: Hydrogen has re-emerged as a crucial component in Europe's decarbonization initiatives, detailed in the European Hydrogen Strategy and REPowerEU Plan. Hailed as the "coal of the future," renewable hydrogen is vital for technologies aimed at lowering emissions in hard-to-abate sectors. By 2030, decreasing green electricity costs are predicted to make green hydrogen more affordable, especially in favorable regions. Global hydrogen demand is expected to rise, driven by industry and transportation, leading to significant worldwide trading volume, with Europe aiming to import 10 million tons of renewable hydrogen by 2030, raising transportation concerns. Pipelines are suggested for distances up to 8.000 kilometers, while shipping is advised for longer routes. Transport cost-effectiveness depends on construction costs and infrastructure. The global hydrogen industry, unlike the oil market, is predicted to be more dispersed due to diverse hydrogen production potential, resulting in competitive pricing and more providers. Low production and transportation costs are critical, especially for Europe. The EU faces challenges in retaining competitiveness in hydrogen technologies. China leads in grey hydrogen generation and green hydrogen electrolysis capacity, while the US offers significant incentives under the Inflation Reduction Act. The EU must encourage domestic investment to fund its green transformation and prevent company relocation. Potential trade partners such as Chile, Morocco, and Algeria have similar production potential, but North African countries face water scarcity, whereas Chile offers political and economic stability with low production and delivery costs. Europe's critical iron and steel sector risks shifting to regions with cheaper hydrogen and abundant iron ore, such as Australia. Economic policy measures like Carbon Contracts for Difference and Green Lead Markets could support Europe's hydrogen-based green products without disrupting production or burdening taxpayers.

description: Background: Combined modality of treatment i.e., platinum-based doublet chemotherapy with concurrent radiotherapy is the standard treatment for locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). However, the optimal chemotherapy regimen to use with radiotherapy is still not established. Aim of this study was to compare the acute toxicities between cisplatin-etoposide (EP) and paclitaxel-carboplatin (PC) along with thoracic radiotherapy in unresectable locally advanced NSCLC. Materials and Methods: A Quasi-experimental study was conducted from October 2020 to September 2021 at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) and National Institute of Cancer Research and Hospital (NICR&H), Dhaka. Patients with unresectable, locally advanced NSCLC who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled and distributed equally into two arms. Patients received thoracic radiotherapy with 60Gy in 2Gy daily fractions, 5 fractions a week, for 6 weeks with either Injection Cisplatin 50 mg/m2 administered on days 1, 8, 29, and 36, and Injection Etoposide 50 mg/m2/day on days 1–5 and 29–33 (Arm A), or Injection Carboplatin (AUC-2) and Injection Paclitaxel (45 mg/m2) administered on day 1, weekly, over a 6-week period (Arm B). All the patients were evaluated before, during, and after the completion of the treatment. Follow ups were done at 6 weeks, 12 weeks and 24 weeks following the completion of treatment using history, clinical examination and investigations. Results: most commonly observed toxicities were nausea, esophagitis and radiation pneumonitis. Although grade 1 esophagitis was more in arm B (56.76% vs 35.14%), grade 2 and 3 esophagitis were more in arm A (40.54% vs 16.21%; and 13.51% vs 5.41% respectively; p 0.043). Grade 1 pneumonitis was same (16 or 43.24%) in both arms. However, Grade 2 and 3 radiation pneumonitis were significantly more in Arm B (40.54% vs 16.22% and 5.41% vs 2.7 % respectively; p 0.004). Observed differences in nausea, vomiting, dermatitis, neurotoxicity, and hematological toxicities were not found to be statistically significant. Conclusion: This study suggests that the toxicities of cisplatin-etoposide regimen is comparable to paclitaxel-carboplatin regimen when given with concurrent radiotherapy in unresectable locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer.

description: This paper investigates the energy efficient resource allocation for orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) relay systems, where the system is supplied by the conventional utility grid and a renewable energy generator equipped with a storage device. The optimal usage of radio resource depends on the characteristics of the renewable energy generation and the mobile traffic, which exhibit both temporal and spatial diversities. Lyapunov optimization method is used to decompose the problem into the joint flow control, radio resource allocation and energy management without knowing a priori knowledge of system statistics. It is proven that the proposed algorithm can result in close-to-optimal performance with capacity limited data buffer and storage device. Simulation results show that the flexible tradeoff between the system utility and the conventional energy consumption can be achieved. Compared with other schemes, the proposed algorithm demonstrates better performance.

description: The stick number of a knot is the minimum number of segments needed to build a polygonal version of the knot. Despite its elementary definition and relevance to physical knots, the stick number is poorly understood: for most knots we only know bounds on the stick number. We adopt a Monte Carlo approach to finding better bounds, producing very large ensembles of random polygons in tight confinement to look for new examples of knots constructed from few segments. We generated a total of 220 billion random polygons, yielding either the exact stick number or an improved upper bound for more than 40% of the knots with 10 or fewer crossings for which the stick number was not previously known. We summarize the current state of the art in Appendix A, which gives the best known bounds on stick number for all knots up to 10 crossings.

HITOP-BASED OPTIMAL PERSONALIZED ASSIGNMENT TO ABSTINENCE FROM ALCOHOL: A PRECISION MEDICINE APPROACH

Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 520302
subject: Clinical psychology

description: The main goal of my study was to use a novel precision medicine approach to optimize assignment to short-term abstinence from alcohol based on a variety of individual characteristics. The sample consisted of 97 moderate-to-heavy drinkers aged 21-35. A within-subjects design was employed where each participant completed two counter-balanced intravenous alcohol sessions (one following abstinence and one during usual drinking). For the primary aim of this study (N = 47), crossover generalized outcome weighted learning was used to estimate an optimal individualized assignment rule to short-term abstinence based on prescriptive factors, including HiTOP-relevant dimensions and other characteristics. For a secondary aim (N = 50), logistic regression was used to test whether the subgroups estimated by the optimal rule were associated with a set of genetic and behavioral factors related to AUD, and subjective perceptions to alcohol intoxication. Findings showed that an estimated rule with higher granularity – higher-specificity traits and demographics – led to lower alcohol consumption overall compared with one-size-fits-all rules (i.e., assigning everyone to abstinence or assigning no one to abstinence). The effect sizes of the difference were small-to-medium and fell short of statistical significance. Family history of AUD had a positive trend association with benefit from abstinence, with one standard deviation increase in family history of AUD being associated with twice as high odds of being assigned to abstinence. Due to the limited sample size, the results should be interpreted with caution. Study results provided preliminary evidence that an individualized assignment rule based on relatively simple and easily accessible individual characteristics can lead to lower alcohol consumption than that observed if everyone or no one was assigned to abstinence (i.e., one-size-fits-all approach). Genetic predispositions reflected in family history of AUD may be a potential mechanism linking the assessed prescriptive factors with abstinence response, which is worth further exploration.

description: Syntax-Guided Synthesis (SyGuS) is the computational problem of finding an implementation f that meets both a semantic constraint given by a logical formula $φ$ in a background theory T, and a syntactic constraint given by a grammar G, which specifies the allowed set of candidate implementations. Such a synthesis problem can be formally defined in SyGuS-IF, a language that is built on top of SMT-LIB. The Syntax-Guided Synthesis Competition (SyGuS-comp) is an effort to facilitate, bring together and accelerate research and development of efficient solvers for SyGuS by providing a platform for evaluating different synthesis techniques on a comprehensive set of benchmarks. In this year's competition we added two specialized tracks: a track for conditional linear arithmetic, where the grammar need not be specified and is implicitly assumed to be that of the LIA logic of SMT-LIB, and a track for invariant synthesis problems, with special constructs conforming to the structure of an invariant synthesis problem. This paper presents and analyzes the results of SyGuS-comp'15.

description: We introduce the Markov Stochastic Block Model (MSBM): a growth model for community based networks where node attributes are assigned through a Markovian dynamic. We rely on HMMs' literature to design prediction methods that are robust to local clustering errors. We focus specifically on the link prediction and collaborative filtering problems and we introduce a new model selection procedure to infer the number of hidden clusters in the network. Our approaches for reliable prediction in MSBMs are not algorithm-dependent in the sense that they can be applied using your favourite clustering tool. In this paper, we use a recent SDP method to infer the hidden communities and we provide theoretical guarantees. In particular, we identify the relevant signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in our framework and we prove that the misclassification error decays exponentially fast with respect to this SNR.

description: Le projet « Mencare », mené par l’organisation Männer.ch, en partenariat avec l’Institut Suisse pour les questions d’Hommes et de Genre (ISHG), a pour but d’inciter un changement des normes sociales concernant la répartition genrée des tâches au sein des ménages1, 2. A cette fin, le présent rapport analyse la distribution de la répartition des tâches ménagères et de prise en charge des enfants au sein des ménages suisses en fonction des caractéristiques sociodémographiques des hommes. Ces analyses ont été conduites sur les données du Panel Suisse de Ménages (PSM) collectées en 2015 et 2016.
description: Le croisement de ces scores avec différentes variables sociodémographiques indique que ces variables n’ont que peu d’effet sur les scores moyens des hommes. Seuls le temps de travail rémunéré de l’homme et celui de sa partenaire, la langue parlée, la raison du travail à temps partiel, le statut professionnel et le positionnement idéologique semblent avoir un effet sur les valeurs de scores des hommes. Toutefois, les analyses multivariées indiquent que l’importance de ces effets, bien que confirmés, sont peu importants. Il apparaît que le seul élément déterminant de manière importante l’implication d’une personne dans les tâches ménagères et/ou dans la prise en charge des enfants est le sexe de l’individu en question. Ces analyses ne dévoilent donc pas un profil particulier qui se démarque nettement des autres hommes et qui serait plus enclin à une répartition égalitaire des tâches.
description: Les résultats de ces analyses indiquent que la répartition des différentes tâches ménagères et de prise en charge des enfants dans les ménages en Suisse est inégale. Comme décrit dans la littérature, les tâches considérées comme « masculines » sont généralement prises en charge par les hommes alors que les femmes prennent en charge les tâches « féminines », plus nombreuses, et les tâches moins « ludiques » avec les enfants. Suite à cette constatation, trois scores, avec une échelle allant de 1 à 10, mesurant l’implication de l’homme dans les tâches ménagères, dans la prise en charge des enfants et, de manière globale, dans l’ensemble de ces tâches ont été construits. Le score moyen des hommes à la répartition des tâches ménagères s’élève à 3.66. Le score moyen des hommes à la répartition des tâches liées au soin des enfants est de 2.84. Et le score global (regroupant les scores précédents) est de 3.25. Ces scores moyens sont donc largement en-dessous de la valeur 5 qui correspond au score égalitaire (où l’homme et la femme du ménage sont impliqués à parts égales dans les tâches du quotidien).

description: We address the problem of reposing an image of a human into any desired novel pose. This conditional image-generation task requires reasoning about the 3D structure of the human, including self-occluded body parts. Most prior works are either based on 2D representations or require fitting and manipulating an explicit 3D body mesh. Based on the recent success in deep learning-based volumetric representations, we propose to implicitly learn a dense feature volume from human images, which lends itself to simple and intuitive manipulation through explicit geometric warping. Once the latent feature volume is warped according to the desired pose change, the volume is mapped back to RGB space by a convolutional decoder. Our state-of-the-art results on the DeepFashion and the iPER benchmarks indicate that dense volumetric human representations are worth investigating in more detail.

description: In network security, the exponential growth of intrusions stimulates research toward developing advanced artificial intelligence (AI) techniques for intrusion detection systems (IDS). However, the reliance on AI for IDS presents challenges, including the performance variability of different AI models and the lack of explainability of their decisions, hindering the comprehension of outputs by human security analysts. Hence, this thesis proposes end-to-end explainable AI (XAI) frameworks tailored to enhance the understandability and performance of AI models in this context.
The first chapter benchmarks seven black-box AI models across one real-world and two benchmark network intrusion datasets, laying the foundation for subsequent analyses. Subsequent chapters delve into feature selection methods, recognizing their crucial role in enhancing IDS performance by extracting the most significant features for identifying anomalies in network security. Leveraging XAI techniques, novel feature selection methods are proposed, showcasing superior performance compared to traditional approaches.
Also, this thesis introduces an in-depth evaluation framework for black-box XAI-IDS, encompassing global and local scopes. Six evaluation metrics are analyzed, including descrip tive accuracy, sparsity, stability, efficiency, robustness, and completeness, providing insights into the limitations and strengths of current XAI methods.
Finally, the thesis addresses the potential of ensemble learning techniques in improving AI-based network intrusion detection by proposing a two-level ensemble learning framework comprising base learners and ensemble methods trained on input datasets to generate evalua tion metrics and new datasets for subsequent analysis. Feature selection is integrated into both levels, leveraging XAI-based and Information Gain-based techniques.
Holistically, this thesis offers a comprehensive approach to enhancing network intrusion detection through the synergy of AI, XAI, and ensemble learning techniques by providing open-source codes and insights into model performances. Therefore, it contributes to the security advancement of interpretable AI models for network security, empowering security analysts to make informed decisions in safeguarding networked systems.

description: Heatmap representations have formed the basis of human pose estimation systems for many years, and their extension to 3D has been a fruitful line of recent research. This includes 2.5D volumetric heatmaps, whose X and Y axes correspond to image space and Z to metric depth around the subject. To obtain metric-scale predictions, 2.5D methods need a separate post-processing step to resolve scale ambiguity. Further, they cannot localize body joints outside the image boundaries, leading to incomplete estimates for truncated images. To address these limitations, we propose metric-scale truncation-robust (MeTRo) volumetric heatmaps, whose dimensions are all defined in metric 3D space, instead of being aligned with image space. This reinterpretation of heatmap dimensions allows us to directly estimate complete, metric-scale poses without test-time knowledge of distance or relying on anthropometric heuristics, such as bone lengths. To further demonstrate the utility our representation, we present a differentiable combination of our 3D metric-scale heatmaps with 2D image-space ones to estimate absolute 3D pose (our MeTRAbs architecture). We find that supervision via absolute pose loss is crucial for accurate non-root-relative localization. Using a ResNet-50 backbone without further learned layers, we obtain state-of-the-art results on Human3.6M, MPI-INF-3DHP and MuPoTS-3D. Our code will be made publicly available to facilitate further research.

description: In this paper, we present a method for characterizing the evolution of time-varying complex networks by adopting a thermodynamic representation of network structure computed from a polynomial (or algebraic) characterization of graph structure. Commencing from a representation of graph structure based on a characteristic polynomial computed from the normalized Laplacian matrix, we show how the polynomial is linked to the Boltzmann partition function of a network. This allows us to compute a number of thermodynamic quantities for the network, including the average energy and entropy. Assuming that the system does not change volume, we can also compute the temperature, defined as the rate of change of entropy with energy. All three thermodynamic variables can be approximated using low-order Taylor series that can be computed using the traces of powers of the Laplacian matrix, avoiding explicit computation of the normalized Laplacian spectrum. These polynomial approximations allow a smoothed representation of the evolution of networks to be constructed in the thermodynamic space spanned by entropy, energy, and temperature. We show how these thermodynamic variables can be computed in terms of simple network characteristics, e.g., the total number of nodes and node degree statistics for nodes connected by edges. We apply the resulting thermodynamic characterization to real-world time-varying networks representing complex systems in the financial and biological domains. The study demonstrates that the method provides an efficient tool for detecting abrupt changes and characterizing different stages in network evolution.

description: We report on the design and results of the second reactive synthesis competition (SYNTCOMP 2015). We describe our extended benchmark library, with 6 completely new sets of benchmarks, and additional challenging instances for 4 of the benchmark sets that were already used in SYNTCOMP 2014. To enhance the analysis of experimental results, we introduce an extension of our benchmark format with meta-information, including a difficulty rating and a reference size for solutions. Tools are evaluated on a set of 250 benchmarks, selected to provide a good coverage of benchmarks from all classes and difficulties. We report on changes of the evaluation scheme and the experimental setup. Finally, we describe the entrants into SYNTCOMP 2015, as well as the results of our experimental evaluation. In our analysis, we emphasize progress over the tools that participated last year.

description: Minibatch decomposition methods for empirical risk minimization are commonly analysed in a stochastic approximation setting, also known as sampling with replacement. On the other hands modern implementations of such techniques are incremental: they rely on sampling without replacement, for which available analysis are much scarcer. We provide convergence guaranties for the latter variant by analysing a versatile incremental gradient scheme. For this scheme, we consider constant, decreasing or adaptive step sizes. In the smooth setting we obtain explicit complexity estimates in terms of epoch counter. In the nonsmooth setting we prove that the sequence is attracted by solutions of optimality conditions of the problem.

description: Le signalement des événements indésirables (EI) est probablement le moyen le plus simple de les recenser pour les étudier et les prévenir à l’avenir. L’ouvrage To Err is Human en faisait une priorité, mais très peu d’études lui sont consacrées. Il faut reconnaître que les signalements ne donnent pas un aperçu exhaustif de ce qu’il advient dans l’hôpital, pas plus que les études basées sur des revues de dossiers médicaux. Des outils plus pratiques ont été développés (« trigger tool »). Curieusement, ces méthodes ne détectent pas les mêmes événements et pas tous. Le compte des EI, jamais complet, n’est donc qu’un indicateur médiocre de la performance en sécurité. Cet article explore les relations entre le signalement des événements indésirables et les actions de promotion de la qualité des soins.

description: Merger trees are routinely used to follow the growth and merging history of dark matter haloes and subhaloes in simulations of cosmic structure formation. Srisawat et al. (2013) compared a wide range of merger-tree-building codes. Here we test the influence of output strategies and mass resolution on tree-building. We find that, somewhat surprisingly, building the tree from more snapshots does not generally produce more complete trees; instead, it tends to short- en them. Significant improvements are seen for patching schemes which attempt to bridge over occasional dropouts in the underlying halo catalogues or schemes which combine the halo-finding and tree-building steps seamlessly. The adopted output strategy does not affec- t the average number of branches (bushiness) of the resultant merger trees. However, mass resolution has an influence on both main branch length and the bushiness. As the resolution increases, a halo with the same mass can be traced back further in time and will encounter more small progenitors during its evolutionary history. Given these results, we recommend that, for simulations intended as precursors for galaxy formation models where of order 100 or more snapshots are analysed, the tree-building routine should be integrated with the halo finder, or at the very least be able to patch over multiple adjacent snapshots.
