description: Ultrasound Computer Tomography (USCT) is an emerging technology mostly aimed at breast cancer imaging. Following the idea of open science a USCT reference database is established with open and easy to use data and code interfaces. The aim is to promote and facilitate the exchange of available reconstruction algorithms and raw data sets from different USCT devices throughout the growing USCT community. Additionally, the feedback about data and system architecture of the scientists working on reconstruction methods will be published online to help to drive further development of the various measurement setups.

description: In the Affleck-Dine mechanism of baryogenesis, non-topological solitons called Q-balls can be formed. In this work we study the Q-balls which decay during the Big Bang Nucleosythesis (BBN) era. We show that such late-decaying baryonic Q-balls with lifetime of about 10^3 s can provide a new developing mechanism for the BBN through a rolling baryon to photon ratio η, which can naturally explain the discrepancy of BBN prediction with the WMAP data on ^7Li abundance. For the late-decaying leptonic Q-balls with lifetime of about 10^6 s, we find that their decay product, gravitino, can serve as a dark matter candidate without overclosing the universe and, at the same time, can give an explanation of the approximate equality of dark and baryon matter densities.

description: $Kπ$ $S$ wave scattering is studied using a chiral unitary approach (ChUT) taking into account coupled channels. With the amplitudes derived from the lowest order chiral Lagrangian as the kernel of a set of coupled channel Bathe-Salpeter equations, the $I=1/2$ $S$ wave $Kπ$ scattering phase shifts below 1.2 GeV can be fitted by one parameter, a subtraction constant, and a scalar resonance corresponding to the controversial $κ$ ($K^*_0(800)$) can be generated dynamically. A good description of the $I=3/2$ $S$ wave $Kπ$ scattering phase shifts below 1.2 GeV can also be obtained. An artificial singularity in the conventional cut-off method of the 2-meson loop integral of the ChUT is found. The formalism is applied to deal with the $S$ wave $Kπ$ final state interaction (FSI) in the decay $J/ψ\to {\bar K}^{*0}(892)K^+π^-$, and a qualitatively good fit to the data is achieved. The role of $κ$ in the decay is discussed.

description: Megállapítható, hogy a tanácskozáson résztvevők véleménye a fundamentális kérdésekben közel esik egymáshoz, bár vannak még különbségek, főleg a javasolt megoldásokban. Ez – az elmúlt két évtizedet figyelembe véve – mindenképpen haladásnak tekinthető. Elmondható, hogy a komoly gondok és problémák összefogásra serkentik a közösségeket. Mindenki érzi, hogy a jelentős agrártradíciókkal rendelke¬ző hazai élelmiszer-gazdaság a jelenlegi pályán maradva alapanyag-termelő agrár¬bérmunkás országgá válhat, elvesztve versenyképességének maradékát is, teljesen kiszolgáltatva, míg az ágazat jövedelemtermelése – jó esetben is – csak a túlélésre elegendő. Elmondható, hogy még nem látható a „fény az alagút végén”, de már formá¬lódik, hogy hol is van az az alagút, amin végig kellene haladni. Avita, illetve a mosta-nában napvilágot látott elemzések megmutatták az alagút bejáratát, az MTAAgrár¬tudományok Osztályának szervezésében létrejövő stratégiának kellene megmutatni azt, hogy hogyan lehet ezen az alagúton a legkevesebb veszteséggel, a legnagyobb nyereséggel, a leggyorsabban átjutni úgy, hogy a hozott döntések eredményeként egy olyan magyarországi mező- és élelmiszer-gazdaság jöjjön létre, amilyet a rendszer¬változás után megálmodtak. ----------------------------------------- It was found that the views of the participants attending the discussion were similar about fundamental issues, although there are still differences, especially with respect to the proposed solutions. Considering the last two decades, this can be seen as progress. Serious problems and troubles stimulate cooperation within the communities. Everyone feels that if we stay on the current track, Hungarian food economy, with its long traditions in agriculture, can be reduced to a mere producer of raw materials, losing even the vestiges of its competitive edge. It would become extremely vulnerable and the revenues of the sector would only be sufficient for survival, at best. We cannot yet see the light at the end of the tunnel, but the entrance of said tunnel is becoming visible. The debate and the recently published analyses outlined the entrance of the tunnel. The strategy to be arranged by the Agricultural Sciences Department of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences should show how we could cross this tunnel in the fastest manner, with the least loss and greatest gain, so that the decisions made now lead to the emergence of an agriculture and food economy which was dreamt after the change of the political system in Hungary.

description: We assess the performance of a perturbation theory inspired method for inferring cosmological parameters from the joint measurements of galaxy-galaxy weak lensing ($ΔΣ$) and the projected galaxy clustering ($w_{\rm p}$). To do this, we use a wide variety of mock galaxy catalogs constructed based on a large set of $N$-body simulations that mimic the Subaru HSC-Y1 and SDSS galaxies, and apply the method to the mock signals to address whether to recover the underlying true cosmological parameters in the mocks. We find that, as long as the appropriate scale cuts, $12$ and $8~h^{-1}{\rm Mpc}$ for $ΔΣ$ and $w_{\rm p}$ respectively, are adopted, a "minimal-bias" model using the linear bias parameter $b_1$ alone and the nonlinear matter power spectrum can recover the true cosmological parameters (here focused on $Ω_{\rm m}$ and $σ_8$) to within the 68% credible interval, for all the mocks we study including one in which an assembly bias effect is implemented. This is as expected if physical processes inherent in galaxy formation/evolution are confined to local, small scales below the scale cut, and thus implies that real-space observables have an advantage in filtering out the impact of small-scale nonlinear effects in parameter estimation, compared to their Fourier-space counterparts. In addition, we find that a theoretical template including the higher-order bias contributions such as nonlinear bias parameter $(b_2)$ does not improve the cosmological constraints, but rather leads to a larger parameter bias compared to the baseline $b_1$-method.

The Far Ultraviolet Spectrum of Z Cam in Quiescence

description: We have obtained Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (905-1187 Angstrom) spectra of the non-magnetic cataclysmic variable Z Cam during a period of quiescence. The spectrum resembles that of a hot (57,000 K) metal-enriched white dwarf. A high effective temperature is consistent with the expectation that dwarf nova systems that show standstills, as Z Cam does, have higher than normal time-averaged mass accretion rates. It is also consistent with current estimates for the mass and distance to Z Cam. A white dwarf model in which 29% of the surface has a temperature of 72,000 K and the rest of the surface is at 26,000 K also reproduces the spectral shape and the continuum flux level at the nominal distance and WD mass, and is a somewhat better statistical fit to the data. A second component could be due to a rotating accretion belt, a remnant of an outburst that ended eleven days prior to the FUSE observation, or ongoing accretion. We favor the uniform temperature model for Z Cam, largely because the data do not require anything more complicated. We have compared the quiescent spectrum with an archival spectrum of Z Cam in standstill, obtained with ORFEUS. The standstill spectrum is described well by a disk accreting at a rate of 7(-2,+4) 10**16 gm/s, where the errors depend on the assumed inclination. The quiescent spectra cover a full orbital period and are time-resolved to 500 s. No variability was observed in the continuum during the observation, but the depth of many of the absorption lines increased between orbital phases 0.65 and 0.81. We attribute this effect to absorption by material associated with the accretion stream, which is easier to understand if the inclination is near the maximum allowed value of 68 degrees.

description: Gold-mediated exfoliation of MoS2 has attracted considerable interest in the recent years. A strong interaction between MoS2 and Au facilitates preferential production of centimeter-sized monolayer MoS2 with near-unity yield and provides a heterostructure system noteworthy from a fundamental standpoint. However, little is known about the detailed nature of the MoS2-Au interaction and its evolution with the MoS2 thickness. Here, we identify specific vibrational and binding energy fingerprints of such strong interaction using Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, which indicate substantial strain and charge-transfer in monolayer MoS2. Near-field tip-enhanced Raman spectroscopy reveals heterogeneity of the MoS2-Au interaction at the nanoscale, reflecting the spatial non-conformity between the two materials. Far-field micro-Raman spectroscopy shows that this interaction is strongly affected by the roughness and cleanliness of the underlying Au. Our results elucidate the nature of the strong MoS2-Au interaction and provide guidance for strain and charge doping engineering of MoS2.

Scattering of Gravitational Waves by the Weak Gravitational Fields of Lens Objects

description: We consider the scattering of the gravitational waves by the weak gravitational fields of lens objects. We obtain the scattered gravitational waveform by treating the gravitational potential of the lens to first order, i.e. using the Born approximation. We find that the effect of scattering on the waveform is roughly given by the Schwarzschild radius of the lens divided by the wavelength of gravitational wave for a compact lens object. If the lenses are smoothly distributed, the effect of scattering is of the order of the convergence field $κ$ along the line of sight to the source. In the short wavelength limit, the amplitude is magnified by $1+κ$, which is consistent with the result in weak gravitational lensing.

An approximate dynamic programming approach to the admission control of elective patients

Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)

description: In this paper, we propose an approximate dynamic programming (ADP) algorithm to solve a Markov decision process (MDP) formulation for the admission control of elective patients. To manage the elective patients from multiple specialties equitably and efficiently, we establish a waiting list and assign each patient a time-dependent dynamic priority score. Then, taking the random arrivals of patients into account, sequential decisions are made on a weekly basis. At the end of each week, we select the patients to be treated in the following week from the waiting list. By minimizing the cost function of the MDP over an infinite horizon, we seek to achieve the best trade-off between the patients' waiting times and the over-utilization of surgical resources. Considering the curses of dimensionality resulting from the large scale of realistically sized problems, we first analyze the structural properties of the MDP and propose an algorithm that facilitates the search for best actions. We then develop a novel reinforcement-learning-based ADP algorithm as the solution technique. Experimental results reveal that the proposed algorithms consume much less computation time in comparison with that required by conventional dynamic programming methods. Additionally, the algorithms are shown to be capable of computing high-quality near-optimal policies for realistically sized problems.

A Procedure for Developing Uncertainty-Consistent Vs Profiles from Inversion of Surface Wave Dispersion Data

description: Non-invasive surface wave methods have become a popular alternative to traditional invasive forms of site-characterization for inferring a site's subsurface shear wave velocity (Vs) structure. The advantage of surface wave methods over traditional forms of site characterization is that measurements made solely at the ground surface can be used routinely and economically to infer the subsurface structure of a site to depths of engineering interest (20-50 m), and much greater depths (>1 km) in some special cases. However, the quantification and propagation of uncertainties from surface wave measurements into the Vs profiles used in subsequent engineering analyses remains challenging. While this has been the focus of much work in recent years, and while considerable progress has been made, no approach for doing so has been widely accepted, leading analysts to either address the propagation of uncertainties in their own specialized manner or, worse, to ignore these uncertainties entirely. In response, this paper presents an easy-to-implement, effective, and verifiable method for developing uncertainty-consistent Vs profiles from inversion of surface wave dispersion data. We begin by examining four approaches presented in the literature for developing suites of Vs profiles meant to account for uncertainty present in the measured dispersion data. These methods are shown to be deficient in three specific ways. First, all approaches are shown to be highly sensitive to their many user-defined inversion input parameters, making it difficult/impossible for them to be performed repeatedly by different analysts. Second, the suites of inverted Vs profiles, when viewed in terms of their implied theoretical dispersion data, are shown to significantly underestimate the uncertainty present in the experimental dispersion data, though some may appear satisfactory when viewed purely qualitatively...

Determining harvest schedules and profitability under the risk of fire disturbance
Creators: name: Peter, Brian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis demonstrates a method of determining harvest schedules based on the uncertainty of natural disturbance, and explores the interactions between disturbances and harvest scheduling. A model of wildfire occurrence is first developed, and the effects of wildfire on forest growth, landscape attributes, and harvesting are evaluated. A method to determine an appropriate harvest target is developed that considers the risk tolerance of the forest owner. The impacts of various model assumptions on estimates of sustainable timber supply are then examined through sensitivity analyses. The impacts on timber supply when natural disturbance is explicitly simulated are more complex than simple reductions to the total amount cut and may be of interest to forest managers who wish to predict the long-term, supply profile. A 'buffer' that ensures a sustainable harvest in the face of disturbance is demonstrated in terms of reduced harvest volumes and excess available timber. Sustainable harvest flows within this model are sensitive to both risk tolerance and the time span considered. Assumptions on the ability to salvage disturbed areas and the effects of disturbance suppression further complicate our choice of harvest target, and our lack of ability to constrain the largest disturbances over time may reduce harvest rates, as well as increasing the range of variation in landscape attributes. Estimates of profit from changing rates of forest harvesting provide a measure of the cost of natural disturbance, and when wildfires are suppressed, profit provides a measure of the value of suppression. On a 288,000-hectare area in northeastern BC, the cost of historical natural disturbance was estimated at $4 million per year. Suppressing 98.3% of disturbance events had a value of $1.8 million per year and increased the value of the forest by 50%. Increasing risk tolerance produced higher short-term profits on this landscape, though as buffers are drawn down over the long-term, profits increased very little, and were accompanied by periods with much lower profits.

Atmospheric stability and collapse on tidally locked rocky planets

description: Over large timescales, a terrestrial planet may be driven towards spin-orbit synchronous rotation by tidal forces. In this particular configuration, the planet exhibits permanent dayside and nightside, which may induce strong day-night temperature gradients. The nightside temperature depends on the efficiency of the day-night heat redistribution and determines the stability of the atmosphere against collapse. To better constrain the atmospheric stability, climate, and surface conditions of rocky planets located in the habitable zone of their host star, it is thus crucial to understand the complex mechanism of heat redistribution. Building on early works and assuming dry thermodynamics, we developed a hierarchy of analytic models taking into account the coupling between radiative transfer, dayside convection, and large-scale atmospheric circulation in the case of slowly rotating planets. There are two types of these models: a zero-dimensional two-layer approach and a two-column radiative-convective-subsiding-upwelling (RCSU) model. They yield analytical solutions and scaling laws characterising the dependence of the collapse pressure on physical features, which are compared to the results obtained by early works using 3D global climate models (GCMs). The analytical theory captures (i) the dependence of temperatures on atmospheric opacities and scattering in the shortwave and in the longwave, (ii) the behaviour of the collapse pressure observed in GCM simulations at low stellar fluxes that are due to the non-linear dependence of the atmospheric opacity on the longwave optical depth at the planet's surface, (iii) the increase of stability generated by dayside sensible heating, and (iv) the decrease of stability induced by the increase of the planet size.

description: In developing countries such as Malaysia, the availability of reinsurance arrangements provides several advantages to the primary insurers such as keeping their risk exposures at prudent levels by having their large risk exposures reinsured by another company, meeting client requests for larger insurance coverage by having their limited financial sources supported by another company, and acquiring underwriting skills, experience and ability of handling complex claims by depending on another company for such services. This paper aims to model insurance claims and assess the insolvency probability of reinsurance treaties. Claims data was obtained from one of the leading insurers in Malaysia and R programming with actuar package is used to compute the probability of insolvency.

description: Real time nature of social networks with bursty short messages and their respective large data scale spread among vast variety of topics are research interest of many researchers. These properties of social networks which are known as 5'Vs of big data has led to many unique and enlightenment algorithms and techniques applied to large social networking datasets and data streams. Many of these researches are based on detection and tracking of hot topics and trending social media events that help revealing many unanswered questions. These algorithms and in some cases software products mostly rely on the nature of the language itself. Although, other techniques such as unsupervised data mining methods are language independent but many requirements for a comprehensive solution are not met. Many research issues such as noisy sentences that adverse grammar and new online user invented words are challenging maintenance of a good social network topic detection and tracking methodology; The semantic relationship between words and in most cases, synonyms are also ignored by many of these researches. In this research, we use Transformers combined with an incremental community detection algorithm. Transformer in one hand, provides the semantic relation between words in different contexts. On the other hand, the proposed graph mining technique enhances the resulting topics with aid of simple structural rules. Named entity recognition from multimodal data, image and text, labels the named entities with entity type and the extracted topics are tuned using them. All operations of proposed system has been applied with big social data perspective under NoSQL technologies. In order to present a working and systematic solution, we combined MongoDB with Neo4j as two major database systems of our work. The proposed system shows higher precision and recall compared to other methods in three different datasets.

description: We study chaotic dynamics in preheating after inflation in which an inflaton $ϕ$ is coupled to another scalar field $χ$ through an interaction $(1/2)g^2ϕ^2χ^2$. We first estimate the size of the quasi-homogeneous field $χ$ at the beginning of reheating for large-field inflaton potentials $V(ϕ)=V_0ϕ^n$ by evaluating the amplitude of the $χ$ fluctuations on scales larger than the Hubble radius at the end of inflation. Parametric excitations of the field $χ$ during preheating can give rise to chaos between two dynamical scalar fields. For the quartic potential ($n=4$, $V_0=λ/4$) chaos actually occurs for $g^2/λ

description: As nanofabrication techniques become more precise, with ever smaller feature sizes, the ability to model nonlocal effects in plasmonics becomes increasingly important. While nonlocal models based on hydrodynamics have been implemented using various computational electromagnetics techniques, the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) version has remained elusive. Here we present a comprehensive FDTD implementation of nonlocal hydrodynamics, including for parallel computing. As a sub-nanometer step size is required to resolve nonlocal effects, a parallel implementation makes the computational cost of nonlocal FDTD more affordable. We first validate our algorithms for small spherical metallic particles, and find that nonlocality smears out staircasing artifacts at metal surfaces, increasing the accuracy over local models. We find this also for a larger nanostructure with sharp extrusions. The large size of this simulation, where nonlocal effects are clearly present, highlights the importance and impact of a parallel implementation in FDTD.

description: The study aims to find out the consumer behavior towards showroom service of two wheelers. A samples of 200 users selected randomly were studied. Standardized questionnaires were used to collect the data. The results reveal that users differ in consumer behaviour towards showroom services of two wheelers on the basis of satisfied random sampling. This study is made to describe the consumer satisfaction of two wheelers with respect to socio-economic characteristics as age, gender, occupation, family income, educational level and so on which is called descriptive study. The data were treated statistically using t-test, F-test and correlation. The result shows that students and employees are more satisfied about show room services. Demographic variables such as marital status, size of the family give significant effect related to show room services.

description: Although it is widely accepted that galaxy interactions stimulate secular evolutionary effects (e.g. enhanced star formation) the amplitude of this effect and the processes for accomplishing them, are not well quantified. The goal of the project AMIGA (Analysis of the Interstellar Medium of Isolated Galaxies) is to provide a sizable reference sample (n=1050) of the most isolated galaxies as a basis for the study of the influence of the environment on galaxy properties. Here, we present the far-infrared (FIR) properties of 1030 galaxies of the sample for which IRAS data are available. We improved the detection rate and accuracy of the IRAS data with respect to the Point Source and Faint Source Catalog by redoing the data reduction with the IPAC utility ADDSCAN/SCANPI. Comparing the FIR to the blue luminosities, we find a slightly non-linear relation. Furthermore, we find that interacting galaxies tend to have an enhanced FIR emission.

description: Composition of terrestrial planets records planetary accretion, core-mantle and crust-mantle differentiation, and surface processes. Here we compare the compositional models of Earth and Mars to reveal their characteristics and formation processes. Earth and Mars are equally enriched in refractory elements (1.9 $\times$ CI), although Earth is more volatile-depleted and less oxidized than Mars. Their chemical compositions were established by nebular fractionation, with negligible contributions from post-accretionary losses of moderately volatile elements. The degree of planetary volatile element depletion might correlate with the abundances of chondrules in the accreted materials, planetary size, and their accretion timescale, which provides insights into composition and origin of Mercury, Venus, the Moon-forming giant impactor, and the proto-Earth. During its formation before and after the nebular disk's lifetime, the Earth likely accreted more chondrules and less matrix-like materials than Mars and chondritic asteroids, establishing its marked volatile depletion. A giant impact of an oxidized, differentiated Mars-like (i.e., composition and mass) body into a volatile-depleted, reduced proto-Earth produced a Moon-forming debris ring with mostly a proto-Earth's mantle composition. Chalcophile and some siderophile elements in the silicate Earth added by the Mars-like impactor were extracted into the core by a sulfide melt. In contrast, the composition of Mars indicates its rapid accretion of lesser amounts of chondrules under nearly uniform oxidizing conditions. Mars' rapid cooling and early loss of its dynamo likely led to the absence of plate tectonics and surface water, and the present-day low surface heat flux. These similarities and differences between the Earth and Mars made the former habitable and the other inhospitable to uninhabitable.
