description: When shrinking a covariance matrix towards (a multiple) of the identity matrix, the trace of the covariance matrix arises naturally as the optimal scaling factor for the identity target. The trace also appears in other context, for example when measuring the size of a matrix or the amount of uncertainty. Of particular interest is the case when the dimension of the covariance matrix is large. Then the problem arises that the sample covariance matrix is singular if the dimension is larger than the sample size. Another issue is that usually the estimation has to based on correlated time series data. We study the estimation of the trace functional allowing for a high-dimensional time series model, where the dimension is allowed to grow with the sample size - without any constraint. Based on a recent result, we investigate a confidence interval for the trace, which also allows us to propose lower and upper bounds for the shrinkage covariance estimator as well as bounds for the variance of projections. In addition, we provide a novel result dealing with shrinkage towards a diagonal target. We investigate the accuracy of the confidence interval by a simulation study, which indicates good performance, and analyze three stock market data sets to illustrate the proposed bounds, where the dimension (number of stocks) ranges between $32$ and $475$. Especially, we apply the results to portfolio optimization and determine bounds for the risk associated to the variance-minimizing portfolio.

description: We consider the scalar form factor in $τ\to Kπν_τ$ decays. It receives contributions both from the scalar resonance $K_0^*(1430)$ and from the scalar projection of off-shell vector resonances. We construct a model for the hadronic current which includes the vector resonances $K^*(892)$ and $K^*(1410)$ and the scalar resonance $K_0^*(1430)$. The parameters of the model are fixed by matching to the $O(p^4)$ predictions of chiral perturbation theory. Suitable angular correlations of the $Kπ$ system allow for a model independent separation of the vector and scalar form factor. Numerical results for the relevant structure functions are presented.

description: A small asymmetry in the flux of neutrinos emitted by a hot newly-born neutron star could explain the observed motions of pulsars. However, even in the presence of parity-violating processes with anisotropic scattering amplitudes, no asymmetry is generated in thermal equilibrium. We explain why this no-go theorem stymies some of the proposed explanations for the pulsar ``kick'' velocities.

description: We have calculated the leading color-octet contributions to the production of $J/ψ$ particles in photon-proton collisions. Using the values for the color-octet matrix elements extracted from fits to prompt $J/ψ$ data at the Tevatron, we demonstrate that distinctive color-octet signatures should be visible in $J/ψ$ photoproduction. However, these predictions appear at variance with recent experimental data obtained at HERA, indicating that the phenomenological importance of the color-octet contributions is smaller than expected from theoretical considerations and suggested by the Tevatron fits.

We support our analysis by reporting the first observation of inverse {\it polariton} series from the excitonic molecules selectively generated at ${\bf K}_m \simeq {\bf 0}$ in a CuCl single crystal. This observation and its explanation within the bipolariton model complete our proof of the biexcitonic origin of the inverse series.

description: There has been a surge in public interest in apprenticeships in Ireland, because of increased awareness, political support, increased state funding and a new 2021 Apprenticeship Action Plan. In Ireland, there are 62 apprenticeships available, involving over 8,000 employers and 24,000 apprentices. However, non-completion can be costly for both employers and program administrators, as well as proving difficult for the apprentice. The aim of this research is to undertake a systematic literature review to identify 1) Where is apprenticeship completion research taking place? and 2) What factors influence the completion of apprenticeship programmes? The research method investigates findings from twenty-four articles published between January 2000 and December 2021. The investigation concludes that the reasons for completion fall into three main categories: apprentice related issues, curriculum and programme quality and employer issues. Overall, the findings will help to contextualise why apprentices do not complete their apprenticeship and determine if this might be applicable to Ireland. While only two papers were found during the systematic literature review pertaining to Ireland, the key contribution of this research is to apply the international findings with the intention of increasing built environment apprenticeship completion in this country.
Eggshell waste as an eco-friendly and low-cost catalyst for the synthesis of α, β-unsaturated compounds

description: Three different eggshells, chicken eggshell, duck eggshell and quail eggshell, were used as the catalysts for the Knoevenagel reaction to produce α, β-unsaturated compounds in this work. To obtain the interrelationship among the factors of compositions, structure and catalytic activity, the eggshells were systematically characterized by X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence, Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometry, scanning electron microscopy, and the Hammett indicator method. Eggshells showed the hierarchical and periodic three-dimensional network morphology and calcite crystal phase with the weak alkalinity. All eggshells were active for Knoevenagel reaction, and chicken eggshell showed the highest catalytic activity among them. The reaction conditions were optimized, and the optimal reaction condition was that aromatic aldehyde could efficiently react with active component methylene compound in the presence of 0.5 g chicken eggshell waste in water-ethanol (1:1, volume ratio) at room temperature. Various aromatic aldehydes and active component methylene compounds could be converted into the desired products in high yields, suggesting the high universality of different substrates in the presence of eggshell waste catalyst. In particular, the reaction of 4-cyanobenzaldehyde with malononitrile could be accomplished in 0.7 min with a yield of 99%. Eggshell waste catalysts could be used four times without significant loss in activity, demonstrating their high recyclability and eco-friendliness for the Knoevenagel reaction.
title: The Impact of Light Pollution on Ecosystems and their Services: Understanding and Communicating the Value of Dark Skies
Creators: name: Anderson, Sharolyn
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2024

description: Light pollution is increasingly recognised as a threat to human health and wellbeing as well as a threat to many ecosystem functions and services. Light pollution is increasing by over 2% per year. This is despite (and occasionally because of) new technology aimed at reducing light pollution (e.g. LEDs). Natural night skies (natural darkness) is the natural resource affected by light pollution. Effective stewardship of natural night skies is a challenging problem at the nexus of science, policy, communication, coalition building, monitoring, and enforcement. This work builds on the existing body of literature documenting these problems by developing solutions that effectively communicate the value and importance of natural night skies through valuation, community engagement, and educational interventions to enhance the appreciation of natural night skies. Natural night skies are a characteristic of functioning ecosystems, and thus contribute to how well ecosystem's function and the ecosystem services they provide. This research will address three major questions: (1) Can night sky quality be effectively incorporated into existing global ecosystem service valuations? (2) What are the incentives and barriers to engaging local communities in natural night sky support? (3) Can educational interventions on natural night skies improve ecological literacy and change attitudes about nature via natural night skies? The results presented in this thesis suggest that light pollution degrades the value of ecosystem services by roughly $3.4 Trillion per year globally. I also found that protecting the night skies is supported by the public for many reasons including the following: save money, protect human health, preserve ecosystem function, protect wildlife, provide important cultural and aesthetic experiences including fostering a sense of awe. This public support makes possible the implementation of public policy aimed at preserving the night skies. Education and experiential interventions show the potential for increasing ecological literacy related the nocturnal environment and human connection with nature. This research explored global, local, and individual values of natural night skies. It includes economic valuation, studies of community engagement in protecting natural night skies, and educational interventions, all aimed at better understanding natural night skies at different scales and with different approaches.

description: We present a new derivation of the O(alpha_s) angular distribution of the outgoing $q$-quark in the production process $e^+ e^- \toγ,Z\to q\,\bar{q}(g)$. In our calculation, we express the three-particle phase-space integration of the gluon-bremsstrahlung process in terms of a general set of analytic integral solutions. A consistent treatment of the QCD one-loop corrections to the axial-vector current deserves special attention. This is relevant in the derivation of the forward-backward asymmetry predicted by the standard model. Finally, we provide the full analytical solutions for the differential rates in closed form and conclude with numerical estimates for bottom and top quark production.

A special class of operators formed by the products of second-order operators of Laplace type defined with the help of a unique Riemannian metric and a unique bundle connection but with different potential terms is investigated. Explicit simple formulas for singularities of Green functions of such operators in terms of the usual heat kernel coefficients are obtained.

description: We present a model for the motion of an average atom in a liquid or supercooled liquid state and apply it to calculations of the velocity autocorrelation function $Z(t)$ and diffusion coefficient $D$. The model trajectory consists of oscillations at a distribution of frequencies characteristic of the normal modes of a single potential valley, interspersed with position- and velocity-conserving transits to similar adjacent valleys. The resulting predictions for $Z(t)$ and $D$ agree remarkably well with MD simulations of Na at up to almost three times its melting temperature. Two independent processes in the model relax velocity autocorrelations: (a) dephasing due to the presence of many frequency components, which operates at all temperatures but which produces no diffusion, and (b) the transit process, which increases with increasing temperature and which produces diffusion. Because the model provides a single-atom trajectory in real space and time, including transits, it may be used to calculate all single-atom correlation functions.

description: This paper presents stellar mass functions and i-band luminosity functions for Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) galaxies at $i < 21$ using clustering redshifts, from which we also compute targeting completeness measurements for the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). Clustering redshifts is a method of obtaining the redshift distribution of a sample of galaxies with only photometric information by measuring the angular crosscorrelation with a spectroscopic sample in different redshift bins. We construct a spectroscopic sample containing data from the BOSS + eBOSS surveys, allowing us to recover redshift distributions from photometric data out to $z\simeq 2.5$. We produce k-corrected i-band luminosity functions and stellar mass functions by applying clustering redshifts to SDSS DR8 galaxies in small bins of colour and magnitude. There is little evolution in the mass function between $0.2 < z < 0.8$, implying the most massive galaxies form most of their mass before $z = 0.8$. These mass functions are used to produce stellar mass completeness estimates for the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS), giving a stellar mass completeness of $80\%$ above $M_{\star} > 10^{11.4}$ between $0.2 < z < 0.7$, with completeness falling significantly at redshifts higher than 0.7, and at lower masses. Large photometric datasets will be available in the near future (DECaLS, DES, Euclid), so this, and similar techniques will become increasingly useful in order to fully utilise this data.

Quantitative investigation of the mean-field scenario for the structural glass transition from a schematic mode-coupling analysis of experimental data

description: A quantitative application to real supercooled liquids of the mean-field scenario for the glass transition ($T_g$) is proposed. This scenario, based on an analogy with spin-glass models, suggests a unified picture of the mode-coupling dynamical singularity ($T_c$) and of the entropy crisis at the Kauzmann temperature ($T_K$), with $T_c>T_g>T_K$. Fitting a simple set of mode-coupling equations to experimental light-scattering spectra of two fragile liquids and deriving the equivalent spin-glass model, we can estimate not only $T_c$, but also the static transition temperature $T_s$ corresponding supposedly to $T_K$. For the models and systems considered here, $T_s$ is always found above $T_g$, in the fluid phase. A comparison with recent theoretical calculations shows that this overestimation of the ability of a liquid to form a glass seems to be a generic feature of the mean-field approach.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The implementation of the heavy quark spin symmetry in possible molecular states at the mixed bottom-charm threshold is somewhat different from that at the open charm or bottom thresholds. In particular it depends on two parameters describing separately the symmetry for the bottom and for charmed quarks. The corresponding spin structures of the $S$-wave molecular states of the meson pairs $B^{(*)} D^{(*)}$ are discussed as well as their consequences for properties of possible near-threshold resonances, analogs of the known charmonium-like and bottomonium-like $X$ and $Z$ states.

AVC based Compression of Compound Images Using Block Classification Scheme

Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2019
Subjects: Computer Engineering

description: Most of the internet sites involve buffering of compound images and people expect them to be of enhanced
quality and stature. In this paper, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC for
compound image compression using histogram based block
classification scheme is implemented to evaluate the
performance of compound images to better know the
importance of this scheme. In this method, conventional
histogram is adopted and improves the block classification
between background, text, hybrid and picture image areas.
Different compression scheme is implemented for different
types of classified blocks to improve the compression ratio to an optimal value. H.264 AVC using CABAC entropy coding is used to compress the hybrid blocks, on the other hand standard conventional algorithm such as run-length, wavelet coding and JPEG coding for background, text and picture blocks respectively. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme improves the compression ratio of
compound image to larger extent but increases the coding
complexity.
Free energy dependence on spatial geometry for (2+1)-dimensional QFTs

description: We consider (2+1)-QFT at finite temperature on a product of time with a static spatial geometry. The suitably defined difference of thermal vacuum free energy for the QFT on a deformation of flat space from its value on flat space is a UV finite quantity, and for reasonable fall-off conditions on the deformation is IR finite too. For perturbations of flat space we show this free energy difference goes quadratically with perturbation amplitude and may be computed from the linear response of the stress tensor. As an illustration we compute it for a holographic CFT finding that at any temperature, and for any perturbation, the free energy decreases. Similar behaviour was previously found for free scalars and fermions, and for unitary CFTs at zero temperature, suggesting (2+1)-QFT may generally energetically favour a crumpled spatial geometry. We also treat the deformation in a hydrostatic small curvature expansion relative to the thermal scale. Then the free energy variation is determined by a curvature correction to the stress tensor and for these theories is negative for small curvature deformations of flat space.

description: Abstract

This research is motivated by the insufficient competence of Firefighters in Jakarta, Indonesia. The study aims to describe and analyze the Management of Education and Training (Diklat) for Fire Prevention in the Special Capital Region of Jakarta. The research is grounded in theories such as Total Quality Management, Risk Management, Organizational Competence, and the fundamental concept of Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA), utilizing a qualitative approach with a case study method. Data collection techniques include observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings conclude that the planning, implementation, evaluation, and follow-up of Fire Prevention Training in Jakarta have been conducted holistically. However, challenges arise due to inadequate resources, coordination issues, and community participation. Strategic improvements, including effective management, integrated evaluation, and coordinated follow-up actions, have successfully enhanced the competence of Firefighters. Recommendations include a) urging the Management of Pusdiklatkar Jakarta to enhance the frequency of intensive practical training, edutainment, periodic evaluations, technology integration, strong policies, a focus on evacuation skills, Total Quality Management (TQM), comprehensive evaluations, and risk management; and b) encouraging other researchers to consider this study as a general reference for further research. The research product introduces a Hypothetical Model and novelty in the form of innovative methods for fire prevention training, analysis of training needs, competency evaluation, technology integration, psychological factors, long-term effects, and community participation.

description: We study inclusive charged-hadron production in collisions of quasireal photons at NLO in perturbative QCD, using fragmentation functions recently extracted from PEP and LEP1 data. We superimpose the direct (DD), single-resolved (DR), and double-resolved (RR) gamma-gamma channels. First, we confront existing data taken by TASSO at PETRA and by MARK II at PEP with our NLO calculations. We also make comparisons with the neutral-kaon to charged-hadron ratio measured by MARK II. Then, we present NLO predictions for LEP2, a next-generation e+e- linear collider (NLC) in the TESLA design, and a Compton collider obtained by converting a NLC. We analyze transverse-momentum and rapidity spectra with regard to the scale dependence, the interplay of the DD, DR, and RR components, the sensitivity to the gluon density in the resolved photon, and the influence of gluon fragmentation. It turns out that the inclusive measurement of small-p_T hadrons at a Compton collider would greatly constrain the gluon density of the photon and the gluon fragmentation function.

description: We study Min-Max affine approximants of a continuous convex or concave function $f:Δ\subset \mathbb R^k\xrightarrow{} \mathbb R$ where $Δ$ is a convex compact subset of $\mathbb R^k$. In the case when $Δ$ is a simplex we prove that there is a vertical translate of the supporting hyperplane in $\mathbb R^{k+1}$ of the graph of $f$ at the vertices which is the unique best affine approximant to $f$ on $Δ$. For $k=1$, this result provides an extension of the Chebyshev equioscillation theorem for linear approximants. Our result has interesting connections to the computer graphics problem of rapid rendering of projective transformations.

description: The evolution of physical and gauge degrees of freedom in the Einstein and Yang-Mills theories are separated in a gauge-invariant manner. We show that the equations of motion of these theories can always be written in flux-conservative first-order symmetric hyperbolic form. This dynamical form is ideal for global analysis, analytic approximation methods such as gauge-invariant perturbation theory, and numerical solution.
