description: We consider the $1d$ cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with a large external potential $V$ with no bound states. We prove global regularity and quantitative bounds for small solutions under mild assumptions on $V$. In particular, we do not require any differentiability of $V$, and make spatial decay assumptions that are weaker than those found in the literature (see for example \cite{Del,N,GPR}). We treat both the case of generic and non-generic potentials, with some additional symmetry assumptions in the latter case. Our approach is based on the combination of three main ingredients: the Fourier transform adapted to the Schrödinger operator, basic bounds on pseudo-differential operators that exploit the structure of the Jost function, and improved local decay and smoothing-type estimates. An interesting aspect of the proof is an "approximate commutation" identity for a suitable notion of a vectorfield, which allows us to simplify the previous approaches and extend the known results to a larger class of potentials. Finally, under our weak assumptions we can include the interesting physical case of a barrier potential as well as recover the result of \cite{MMS} for a delta potential.

description: We report Hubble Space Telescope (HST) optical to near-infrared transmission spectroscopy of the hot Jupiter WASP-6b, measured with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) and Spitzer's InfraRed Array Camera (IRAC). The resulting spectrum covers the range $0.29-4.5\,μ$m. We find evidence for modest stellar activity of WASP-6b and take it into account in the transmission spectrum. The overall main characteristic of the spectrum is an increasing radius as a function of decreasing wavelength corresponding to a change of $Δ(R_p/R_{\ast})=0.0071$ from 0.33 to $4.5\,μ$m. The spectrum suggests an effective extinction cross-section with a power law of index consistent with Rayleigh scattering, with temperatures of $973\pm144$ K at the planetary terminator. We compare the transmission spectrum with hot-Jupiter atmospheric models including condensate-free and aerosol-dominated models incorporating Mie theory. While none of the clear-atmosphere models is found to be in good agreement with the data, we find that the complete spectrum can be described by models that include significant opacity from aerosols including Fe-poor Mg$_2$SiO$_4$, MgSiO$_3$, KCl and Na$_2$S dust condensates. WASP-6b is the second planet after HD189733b which has equilibrium temperatures near $\sim1200$ K and shows prominent atmospheric scattering in the optical.

description: We investigate the fundamental limit of biological quantum electron microscopy, which is designed to go beyond the shot noise limit. Inelastic scattering is expected to be the main obstacle in this setting, especially for thick specimens of actual biological interest.

description: Many corpus-based Machine Translation (MT) systems generate a number of partial translations which are then pieced together rather than immediately producing one overall translation. While this makes them more robust to ill-formed input, they are subject to disfluencies at phrasal translation boundaries even for well-formed input. We address this “boundary friction” problem by introducing a method that exploits overlapping phrasal translations and the increased confidence in translation accuracy they imply. We specify an efficient algorithm for producing translations using overlap. Finally, our empirical analysis indicates that this approach produces higher quality translations than the standard method of combining non-overlapping fragments generated by our Example-Based MT (EBMT) system in a peak-to-peak comparison.
A Pragmatist Analysis of the Ethics of Self-Tracking
Creators: name: Wieczorek, Michał
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: This dissertation is devoted to the ethical issues arising in connection to self-tracking practices and technologies. Today, various digital devices (such as Fitbit or Apple Watch) and smartphone apps (e.g., MyFitnessPal) allow users to collect, quantify and analyse information about their behaviour and bodily parameters, typically for the purposes of behaviour change and management. Self-tracking is commonly associated with the promise of translating quantified data into greater knowledge about oneself, as well as greater control over one's habits and body.
Over the course of the dissertation, I identify the normative issues surrounding self- tracking by means of a systematic literature review and adapt John Dewey's ethical theory to apply it to the analysis of the issues that have not yet been adequately analysed in the literature, namely, the impact on the individual and habit formation, the impact on interpersonal relations, and just distribution of benefits and burdens produced through self-tracking.
With the help of Dewey's ethical ideals of inclusive, continuing growing, and democracy (understood as a cooperative and participatory way of life, rather than a political system), I argue that self-tracking 1) has a negative impact on users' identity and autonomy by manipulating them into behaviours that are not necessarily in line with their sense of self; 2) limits the quality and depth of users' engagement with others; and 3) allows companies to exert control over users and profit from their data without adequate compensation, and benefits users from privileged groups to a much greater degree than those coming from marginalised backgrounds.
The analysis is accompanied by a set of recommendations for users, developers and policymakers that would ensure that self-tracking positively contributes to individual and societal flourishing/wellbeing and operates in line with the ideal of social justice.
Quantum chemical study of the electronic properties of an Iridium-based photosensitizer bound to medium-sized silver clusters

description: The equilibrium structures and electronic excitation spectra of the Ir(III) photosensitizer Ir(ppy)$_2$(bpy)]$^+$ bound to medium-sized silver clusters Ag$_n$ ($n=$19, 20) are investigated using time-dependent density functional theory. The long-range corrected LC-BLYP approach is used with a system-specific range separation parameter. The weak physisorption of the hybrid complexes yield only small changes in the broadened absorption spectra of the hybrid system as compared with its constituents. However, the density of states as well as the fine structure of the spectra is strongly modified upon complexation. It is shown that the standard range separation parameter (0.47 bohr$^{-1}$) cannot predict these properties correctly and the optimized value of 0.16 bohr$^{-1}$ should be used instead.

description: We define a new approach to locating and replacing personally-identifying information in unrestricted text that extends beyond straight search-and-replace procedures, and we provide techniques for minimizing risk to patient confidentiality. The straightforward approach of global search and replace properly located no more than 30-60% of all personally-identifying information that appeared explicitly in letters between physicians and notes written by clinicians within a pediatric database. On the other hand, our Scrub system found 99-100% of these references. Scrub uses detection algorithms that employ templates and specialized knowledge of what constitutes a name, address, phone number and so forth.
On the Hauck-Donner Effect in Wald Tests: Detection, Tipping Points, and Parameter Space Characterization

description: The Wald test remains ubiquitous in statistical practice despite shortcomings such as its inaccuracy in small samples and lack of invariance under reparameterization. This paper develops on another but lesser-known shortcoming called the Hauck--Donner effect (HDE) whereby a Wald test statistic is not monotonely increasing as a function of increasing distance between the parameter estimate and the null value. Resulting in an upward biased $p$-value and loss of power, the aberration can lead to very damaging consequences such as in variable selection. The HDE afflicts many types of regression models and corresponds to estimates near the boundary of the parameter space. This article presents several new results, and its main contributions are to (i) propose a very general test for detecting the HDE, regardless of its underlying cause; (ii) fundamentally characterize the HDE by pairwise ratios of Wald and Rao score and likelihood ratio test statistics for 1-parameter distributions; (iii) show that the parameter space may be partitioned into an interior encased by 5 HDE severity measures (faint, weak, moderate, strong, extreme); (iv) prove that a necessary condition for the HDE in a 2 by 2 table is a log odds ratio of at least 2; (v) give some practical guidelines about HDE-free hypothesis testing. Overall, practical post-fit tests can now be conducted potentially to any model estimated by iteratively reweighted least squares, such as the generalized linear model (GLM) and Vector GLM (VGLM) classes, the latter which encompasses many popular regression models.

description: A review is presented of international and Russian literature on the processing of various types of industrial waste into ceramic building materials —brick, stone, tile. Classifications of waste used in the production of ceramic building materials have been thoroughly examined. It is shown that in some cases the use of waste leads to an improvement in the material’s properties. Large-scale processing of industrial waste, primarily of the mining and mineral processing waste(MMPW) and of the energy industry waste, into ceramic building materials is economically efficient and helps solve environmental and social problems. Prospects are examined of processing the waste generated by the mining industry in Murmansk Region into ceramic building materials.

description: We prove the full range of estimates for a five-linear singular integral of Brascamp-Lieb type. The study is methodology-oriented with the goal to develop a sufficiently general technique to estimate singular integral variants of Brascamp-Lieb inequalities that do not obey Hölder scaling. The invented methodology constructs localized analysis on the entire space from local information on its subspaces of lower dimensions and combines such tensor-type arguments with the generic localized analysis. A direct consequence of the boundedness of the five-linear singular integral is a Leibniz rule which captures nonlinear interactions of waves from transversal directions.

description: We develop a class of nonlocal delay Reaction-Diffusion (RD) models in a circular domain. Previous modeling efforts include RD population models with respect to one-dimensional unbounded domain, unbounded strip and rectangular spatial domain. However, the importance of an RD model in a symmetrical domain lies in the increasing number of empirical studies conducted with respect to symmetrical natural habitats of single species. Assuming that the single species has no directional preference to spread in the symmetrical domain, the RD model is reduced to an equation with no angular dependance. The model can be further reduced by considering the birth function in the form of the Bessel function of the first kind. We numerically simulate the reduced forms of the nonlocal delay RD model to study the dispersal and growth of behaviors of the single species in a circular domain. Although spatial patterns of population densities are gradually developed, it is numerically shown that the single species population goes extinct in the absence of the birth function or it may converge to a positive equilibrium in the presence of the birth function.

description: Before using CORBA (Common Object Request Broker Architecture) applications in mission-critical scenarios, it is important to understand the robustness of the Object Request Broker (ORB) being used, which forms the platform for CORBA applications. We have extended the Ballista software testing technique to test the exception-handling robustness of C++ ORB client-side application interfaces, and have tested two major versions of three ORB implementations on two operating systems, yielding robustness failure rates ranging from 26% to 42%. To improve ORB robustness, we also propose a probing method to harden object and pseudo-object related data types against exceptional inputs. Using these probes on omniORB 2.8 has proven to be effective in eliminating some cases of robustness failures found during testing. These results suggest that CORBA implementations currently have significant robustness vulnerabilities, but that some important classes of problems can be overcome with better exception-handling approaches.
The Role of Enterococcus faecalis Sugar Transport in Experimental Colitis
Creators: name: Fan, Ting-Jia
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs), which afflict 1.6 million people in the United States, are chronic, relapsing and immune-mediated intestinal disorders caused in part by aggressive T-cell-mediated immune responses to intestinal microbes in genetically susceptible individuals. However, relatively little is known about how intestinal inflammation affects the function of gut microbiota. We show that Il10-/- mice colonized with a simplified, defined microbial consortium that includes Enterococcus faecalis develop immune-mediated colitis. Transcription of two putative E. faecalis phosphotransferase systems (PTS) that import sugars into the bacterium is upregulated in colitis. We identify gluconate, ribose, and glucosamine as potential substrates for these PTS. The presence of these PTS is associated with altered intestinal microbial ecology and worsened colitis, therefore suggesting a role for E. faecalis sugar metabolism in colitis development. This work highlights the complexity of host-microbial-environmental interactions underlying colitis development and could enable the development of safe and effective treatments for IBDs.

description: We generate tightly focused optical vector beams whose electric fields spin around an axis transverse to the beams' propagation direction. We experimentally investigate these fields by exploiting the directional near-field interference of a dipole-like plasmonic field probe, placed adjacent to a dielectric interface, which depends on the transverse electric spin density of the excitation field. Near- to far-field conversion mediated by the dielectric interface enables us to detect the directionality of the emitted light in the far-field and, therefore, to measure the transverse electric spin density with nanoscopic resolution. Finally, we determine the longitudinal electric component of Belinfante's elusive spin momentum density, a solenoidal field quantity often referred to as 'virtual'.

description: Given the increasing threat of terrorism and spread of terrorist organizations, it is of
vital importance to understand the properties of such organizations and to devise successful
strategies for destabilizing them or decreasing their efficiency. However, intelligence
information on these organizations is often incomplete, inaccurate or simply not available. This
makes the study of terrorist networks and the evaluation of destabilization strategies difficult. In
this paper, we propose a computational methodology for realistically simulating terrorist
networks and evaluating alternative destabilization strategies. We proceed to use this
methodology to evaluate and conduct a sensitivity analysis of the impact of various
destabilization strategies under varying information surveillance regimes. We find that
destabilization strategies that focus on the isolation of individuals who are highly central are
ineffective in the long run as the network will heal itself as individuals who are nearly
structurally equivalent to the isolated individuals "move in" and fill the communication gaps.

Representing Embedded System Sequence Diagrams As A Formal Language

description: Sequence Diagrams (SDs) have proven useful for describing transaction-oriented systems, and can form a basis for creating statecharts. However, distributed embedded systems require special support for branching, state information, and composing SDs. Actors must traverse many SDs when using a complex embedded system. Current techniques are insufficiently rich to represent the behavior of real systems, such as elevators, without augmentation, and cannot identify the correct SD to execute next from any given state of the system. We propose the application of formal language theory to ensure that SDs (which can be thought of as specifying a grammar) have sufficient information to create statecharts (which implement the automata that recognize that grammar). A promising approach for SD to statechart synthesis then involves `compiling` SDs represented in a LL(1) grammar into statecharts, and permits us to bring the wealth of formal language and compiler theory to bear on this problem area.
Crossing Cultural, National, and Racial Boundaries: Portraits of Diplomats and the pre-colonial French-Cochinchinese Exchange, 1787-1863
Creators: name: Bruckbauer, Ashley
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: In this thesis, I examine portraits of diplomatic figures produced between two official embassies from Cochinchina to France in 1787 and 1863 that marked a pre-colonial period of increasing contact and exchange between the two Kingdoms. I demonstrate these portraits' departure from earlier works of diplomatic portraiture and French depictions of foreigners through a close visual analysis of their presentation of the sitters. The images foreground the French and Cochinchinese diplomats crossing cultural boundaries of costume and customs, national boundaries of loyalty, and racial boundaries of blood. By depicting these individuals as mixed or hybrid, I argue that the works both negotiated and complicated eighteenth- and nineteenth-century divides between French and foreign. The portraits' shifting form and function reveal France's vacillating attitudes towards and ambivalent foreign policies regarding pre-colonial Cochinchina, which were based on an evolving French imagining of this little-known Other within the frame of French Empire.

description: The interplay of star formation and supernova (SN) feedback in galaxy formation is a key element for understanding galaxy evolution. Since these processes occur at small scales, it is necessary to have sub-grid models that recover their evolution and environmental effects at the scales reached by cosmological simulations. We simulate the same spiral galaxy inhabiting a Milky Way (MW) size halo in a cosmological environment changing the sub-grid models for SN feedback and star formation. We test combinations of the Schmidt law and a multi-freefall based star formation with delayed cooling feedback or mechanical feedback. We reach a resolution of 35 pc in a zoom-in box of 36 Mpc. For this, we use the code RAMSES with the implementation of gas turbulence in time and trace the local hydrodynamical features of the star-forming gas. Finally, we compare the galaxies at redshift 0 with global and interstellar medium observations in the MW and local spiral galaxies. The simulations show successful comparisons with observations. Nevertheless, diverse galactic morphologies are obtained from different numerical implementations. We highlight the importance of detailed modelling of the star formation and feedback processes, especially when increasing the resolution of simulations. Future improvements could alleviate the degeneracies exhibited in our simulated galaxies under different sub-grid models.

description: Distributed embedded systems often consist of multiple nodes that communicate over a shared network. For such systems, dependable message delivery among nodes is crucial to overall system dependability. One threat to this dependable message delivery is a software defect masquerade fault, where a software defect causes one node or process to send a message as having come from another node or process. Unfortunately, many embedded system designs do not address this particular failure mode. This paper outlines what software defect masquerade faults are and why they are often ignored in current embedded systems. We also present preliminary research into methods to prevent them in embedded system design.

description: Background: Physical activity (PA) is recommended in the management of patients with pulmonary fibrosis (PF) to improve health outcomes. Dance is one such form of PA which is meaningful, valuable, enjoyable and has demonstrated positive physical and mental health effects. Methods: With pre-post design, 16 patients, members of the Irish Lung Fibrosis Association, were enrolled in this study. Once weekly, 75-min dance sessions were delivered for eight weeks via Zoom by an experienced choreographer. Participants completed Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire Self-Administered Standardised Format (CRQ-SAS) and European Quality of Life 5 Dimensions 3 Level Version (EQ-5D-3L) to assess self-rated quality of life. A paired-sample t-test was employed to assess the mean differences between the pre-and post-intervention scores. Results: Most patients (78.57%) were aged over 60 years; with 71.43% diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis more than 3 years ago. We performed an analysis of 10/16 participants who completed the intervention (5 males, 5 females). On CRQ-SAS scale we found, (a) dyspnoea—small to moderate magnitude improvement of 0.5–1.0 among 50%, (b) fatigue—small to moderate magnitude improvement of 0.5–1.0 among 40%, (c) emotional function—small to high magnitude improvement of 0.5–2.0 among 50%, (d) mastery—small magnitude improvement of 0.5 among 20%. Participants reported their health moderate to best on Visual Analogue Scale of EQ-5D-3L which improved by 1–3 scale among 40%. Mental health improved as percentage of not feeling anxious or depressed rose post event from 42.86% to 72.73%. Conclusion: Our findings demonstrate that a virtual dance intervention is acceptable, enjoyable and feasible for improving health outcomes among PF patients. More organised and continuous events in future may reveal cost-benefit ratio and impact on health outcomes.

description: We investigate the causal structure of two-sheeted space-times using the tools of Lorentzian spectral triples. We show that the noncommutative geometry of these spaces allows for causal relations between the two sheets. The computation is given in details when the sheet is a 2- or 4-dimensional globally hyperbolic spin manifold. The conclusions are then generalised to a point-dependent distance between the two sheets resulting from the fluctuations of the Dirac operator.

description: Fully relativistic calculations are presented for the double $K$-shell photoionization cross section for several neutral medium-$Z$ atoms, from magnesium ($Z = 10$) up to silver ($Z = 47$). The calculations take into account all multipoles of the absorbed photon as well as the retardation of the electron-electron interaction. The approach is based on the partial-wave representation of the Dirac continuum states and uses the Green-function technique to represent the full Dirac spectrum of intermediate states. The method is strictly gauge invariant, which is used as an independent cross check of the computational procedure. The calculated ratios of the double-to-single $K$-shell ionization cross sections are compared with the experimental data and with previous computations.

description: We employ the formalism of vanishing cycles and perverse sheaves to introduce and study the vanishing cohomology of complex projective hypersurfaces. As a consequence, we give upper bounds for the Betti numbers of projective hypersurfaces, generalizing those obtained by different methods by Dimca in the isolated singularities case, and by Siersma-Tibăr in the case of hypersurfaces with a $1$-dimensional singular locus. We also prove a supplement to the Lefschetz hyperplane theorem for hypersurfaces, which takes the dimension of the singular locus into account, and we use it to give a new proof of a result of Kato.

description: Data Mining requires versatile computational techniques for analyzing patterns among   large and diversified databases. One of the most influential and typically emerging research area is to develop impinging structures for valid frequent patterns.  In this paper, we have formulated a novel data structure known as SH-Struct (Soft-Hyperlinked Structure) which mines the complete frequent itemset using SH-Mine algorithm. This algorithm enables frequent pattern mining with different supports. Fundamentally, SH-Struct is a tree structure which maintains H-Struct (Hyperlinked Structure) at each level of the tree called SH-Tree to improvise storage compression and reserves frequent patterns very fast using SH-Mine algorithm.  To validate the effectiveness of our structure here we present the performance study of SH-mine and FP (Frequent Pattern)- growth algorithm highlighting space and time payoffs for two categories of databases: sparse and dense. The experimental results show the prominent behavior of proposed method and incite us to further deploy it in more dense and dynamic databases such as temporal databases for generating more prognostic outcomes.

description: Algorithms for 3D robotic visual tracking of moving targets whose motion is 3D and consists of translational and rotational components are presented. The objective of the system is to track selected features on moving objects and to place their projections on the image plane at desired positions by appropriate camera motion. The most important characteristics of the proposed algorithms are the use of a single camera mounted on the end-effector of a robotic manipulator (eye-in-hand configuration), and the fact that these algorithms do not require accurate knowledge of the relative distance of the target object from the camera frame. This fact makes these algorithms particularly useful in environments that are difficult to calibrate. The camera model used introduces a number of parameters that are estimated on-line, further reducing the algorithms’ reliance on precise calibration of the system. An adaptive control algorithm compensates for modeling errors, tracking errors, and unavoidable computational delays which result from time-consuming image processing. Experimental results are presented to verify the efficacy of the proposed algorithms. These experiments were performed using a multi-robotic system consisting of Puma 560 manipulators.

description: The effectiveness of the social sciences, in the understanding the todayʹs intercultural conflicts, can improve studying the phenomenon of the shamanism, that has assumed an increasing importance both to national level and international. The apprentices are, in fact, in contact with mythical‐ritual complexes of intercultural nature, thanks to which they can acquire connected ability to the dialogue among different cultures. They can also build trans‐cultural nets and flows.
Spread in the Usa, in Canada and in other countries of western culture, these practices have acquired visibility in Italy from the beginning of this century. A sociological research in progress has begun to explore this particular vital world, with the method of the grounded theory, with the purpose to reconstruct the lived spirituality and the trials of the shamanic activities. From the analysis of the data, the story of a deep cultural transition emerges in action in the Country. A radical change of the sensibility and the mentality is upcoming, that as trans‐cultural metànoia can be framed. Putting in communication different worlds, and building transcultural experiences, observed realities develop an important function in the social body. They furnish philosophical and emotional support to the people and the communities, that will be able of resistance to the mainstream of the dominant culture and of the unique thought.

description: We demonstrate a versatile method to create state-dependent optical lattices by applying a magnetic field gradient modulated in time. This allows for tuning the relative amplitude and sign of the tunnelling for different internal states. We observe substantially different momentum distributions depending on the spin-state of fermionic 40K atoms. Using dipole-oscillations we probe the spin-dependent band structure and find good agreement with theory. In-situ expansion-dynamics demonstrate that one state can be completely localized whilst others remain itinerant. A systematic study shows negligible heating and lifetimes of several seconds in the Hubbard regime.

description: Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are rapidly being adopted by the automotive industry, due to their impressive performance in tasks that are essential for autonomous driving. Object segmentation is one such task: its aim is to precisely locate boundaries of objects and classify the identified objects, helping autonomous cars to recognise the road environment and the traffic situation. Not only is this task safety critical, but developing a DNN based object segmentation module presents a set of challenges that are significantly different from traditional development of safety critical software. The development process in use consists of multiple iterations of data collection, labelling, training, and evaluation. Among these stages, training and evaluation are computation intensive while data collection and labelling are manual labour intensive. This paper shows how development of DNN based object segmentation can be improved by exploiting the correlation between Surprise Adequacy (SA) and model performance. The correlation allows us to predict model performance for inputs without manually labelling them. This, in turn, enables understanding of model performance, more guided data collection, and informed decisions about further training. In our industrial case study the technique allows cost savings of up to 50% with negligible evaluation inaccuracy. Furthermore, engineers can trade off cost savings versus the tolerable level of inaccuracy depending on different development phases and scenarios.

description: How can we promote reuse of code, data and services? How can we make it easier to combine on-line resources to perform specific tasks? One serious impediment is the risk of relying on software that you do not control, especially the difficulty of determining whether the software is dependable enough for the specific task at hand. We concentrate on one form of economic risk mitigation, insurance, and explore its suitability for the software domain we are interested in. After reviewing the basic principles of insurance we present some feasible directions for dealing with software related issues and raise some software engineering research challenges.
