description: The origin of the elements is a fascinating question that scientists have been trying to answer for the last seven decades. The formation of light elements in the primordial universe and heavier elements in astrophysical sources occurs through nuclear reactions. We can say that nuclear processes are responsible for the production of energy and synthesis of elements in the various astrophysical sites. Thus, nuclear reactions have a determining role in the existence and evolution of several astrophysical environments, from the Sun to the spectacular explosions of supernovae. Nuclear astrophysics attempts to address the most basic and important questions of our existence and future. There are still many issues that are unresolved such as, how stars and our Galaxy have formed and how they evolve, how and where are the heaviest elements made, what is the abundance of nuclei in the universe and what is the nucleosynthesis output of the various production processes and why the amount of lithium-7 observed is less than predicted. In this paper, we review our current understanding of the different astrophysical nuclear processes leading to the formation of chemical elements and pay particular attention to the formation of heavy elements occurring during high-energy astrophysical events. Thanks to the recent multi-messenger observation of a binary neutron star merger, which also confirmed production of heavy elements, explosive scenarios such as short gamma-ray bursts and the following kilonovae are now strongly supported as nucleosynthesis sites.

Geobacillus thermoglucosidans as a thermophile chassis for synthetic biology
Creators: name: Reeve, Benjamin David
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Current reliance on petrochemicals for fuel and chemical production is environmentally damaging and unsustainable. The most promising alternative is bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass however the organisms commonly used in microbial fermentations for chemical production are not well suited to utilise this feedstock. Alternative microbes for lignocellulose utilisation have been identified and Geobacillus thermoglucosidans is one of the best-adapted organisms currently known. This organism has been used for production of biofuels from lignocellulose but it currently lacks the tools and genetic parts needed to produce a wider variety of products. In this study, novel tools and genetic parts to enable synthetic biology with G. thermoglucosidans were developed. The thermostability of reporter proteins, superfolder GFP, mCherry and flavin-based anaerobic fluorescent proteins was tested and superfolder GFP was shown to be the best reporter protein available for Geobacillus. Two novel constitutive promoter libraries were then generated and characterised. In both G. thermoglucosidans and E. coli, both libraries showed over a 100-fold range of expression strength with the strongest variants comparable in strength to the strongest previously reported Geobacillus promoter pLdh. Predictable tuning of expression strength in G. thermoglucosidans was further demonstrated using translation initiation rate calculator software and the limitations of such tools were reviewed. Finally, a set of seven modular shuttle vectors was developed and characterised. The resulting Geobacillus toolkit allowed for the first time, attempts to produce a more complex biobased product via G. thermoglucosidans genetic engineering. An operon was designed and constructed for biosynthesis of hyaluronic acid, using a newly-discovered hyaluronan synthase from the moderate thermophile Streptococcus thermophilus. The promise of this new enzyme was shown in E. coli where heterologous hyaluronic acid production was demonstrated. The parts and tools developed here for enable more sophisticated genetic engineering with G. thermoglucosidans, making this the first chassis for thermophile synthetic biology.

Cold dwell facet nucleation in titanium alloy aero-engine components
Creators: name: Cuddihy, Mitchell
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: Cold dwell fatigue is a failure mode in titanium alloys, manifesting in significantly reduced fatigue life when load is held for a period of time (< 2 minutes), as opposed to continuously cycled, at ambient temperatures (-40 to 200°C). This reduced fatigue life is often characterised by the ratio of lives compared with an equivalent low-cycle fatigue test. The aims of this thesis is broadly to contribute to the fundamental understanding of the problem of cold dwell fatigue. In particular, this work will largely focus on facet nucleation and the local stress state ahead of an in-situ crack in high performance alloys. We firstly introduce and develop the micromechanics theory used to formulate the crystal plasticity framework used throughout this thesis. Implementation and calibration of the crystal plasticity model against experimentally obtained single crystal and polycrystal data, incorporating key factors such as rate sensitivity and length scale effects, has been carried out. The bulk of the facet nucleation studies deal with three distinct but interrelated topics in dwell fatigue; grain size effects, load excursions, and multiaxial loading, each of which provide insight for many topics currently under investigation in both laboratory and industrial settings. Finally a fracture mechanics based study of the stress state near an in-situ crack in single and bicrystal samples is carried out. This investigation examines in particular the effects of grain orientation and morphology on local stress state and stress intensity through incorporation of full elastic anisotropy. This study has direct relevance for the understanding of microstructurally sensitive short crack growth in hcp alloy systems, as well as cold dwell fatigue.
Design and optimization for wireless-powered networks
Creators: name: Huang, Yang
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2017

description: Wireless Power Transfer (WPT) opens an emerging area of Wireless-Powered Networks (WPNs). In narrowband WPNs, beamforming is recognized as a key technique for enhancing information and energy transfer. However, in multi-antenna multi-sine WPT systems, not only the beamforming gain but also the rectifier nonlinearity can be exploited by a waveform design to boost the end-to-end power transfer efficiency. This thesis proposes and optimizes novel transmission strategies for two types of WPNs: narrowband autonomous relay networks and multi-antenna multi-sine WPT systems. The thesis starts by proposing a novel Energy Flow-Assisted (EFA) relaying strategy for a one-way multi-antenna Amplify-and-Forward (AF) autonomous relay network. In contrast to state-of-the-art autonomous relaying strategies, the EFA enables the relay to simultaneously harvest power from source information signals and a dedicated Energy Flow (EF) from the destination for forwarding. As a baseline, a Non-EFA (NEFA) strategy, where the relay splits power from the source signals, is also investigated. We optimize relay strategies for EFA and NEFA, so as to maximize the end-to-end rate and gain insights into the benefit of the EF. To transmit multiple data streams, we extend the EFA and the NEFA to a Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) relay network. A novel iterative algorithm is developed to jointly optimize source precoders and relay matrices for the EFA and the NEFA, in order to maximize the end-to-end rate. Based on a channel diagonalization method, we also propose less complex EFA and NEFA algorithms. In the study of waveform designs for multi-antenna multi-sine WPT, large-scale designs with many sinewaves and transmit antennas, computationally tractable algorithms and optimal multiuser waveforms remain open challenges. To tackle these issues, we propose efficient waveform optimization algorithms to maximize the multiuser weighted-sum/minimum rectenna DC output voltage, assuming perfect Channel State Information at the Transmitter (CSIT). An optimization framework is developed to derive these waveform algorithms. Relaxing the assumption on CSIT, we propose waveform strategies for multi-antenna multi-sine WPT based on waveform selection (WS) and waveform refinement (WR), respectively. Applying the strategies, an energy transmitter can generate preferred waveforms for WPT from predesigned codebooks of waveform precoders, according to limited feedback from an energy receiver, which carries information on the harvested energy. Although the WR-based strategy is suboptimal for maximizing the average rectenna output voltage, it causes a lower overhead than the WS-based strategy. We propose novel algorithms to optimize the codebooks for the two strategies.
Floating body hydrodynamics: A load driven approach
Creators: name: Bruggemann, Mark Alexander
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2016

description: This thesis concerns a fundamental study of the loading and dynamic response truncated and domed cylinders. A potential application of the work is in the design of wave energy converters; therefore the body geometries chosen are of a similar size to such devices. Using a combination of a nonlinear potential flow model and an extensive experimental programme, nonlinear aspects of the body response in long irregular sea states have been established. Two primary sources of nonlinearity arise: the first due to nonlinear wave-structure interaction, and a second due to vortex shedding dissipation. The quantification of the relative importance of the two sources in the loading and dynamic response of the body is one of the principal achievements of this study. The competition between these two effects is studied in the context of regular waves and irregular sea states. The regular wave investigation provides a detailed explanation of non-linear wave-structure interaction using a newly-developed potential flow model, ICRD3D, in order to inform the results arising from the realistic irregular sea state experiments. Each of a number of irregular sea states captured in excess of 15,000 individual waves, resulting in a total data set of approximately 850,000 wave events. The statistical distributions arising from the irregular sea state experiments demonstrate that nonlinear wave-structure interaction, the first source, dominates in the excitation problem. The nonlinear wave-structure interaction leads to amplifications in (absolute) force minima in excess of the linear prediction, whereas the force maxima are smaller than linearly predicted. This maxima-minima asymmetry arises from the set-down present under the largest incident wave events and increases with the underlying sea state steepness. The second source, due to vortex shedding dissipation, does not significantly affect the excitation problem, but is of crucial importance in the dynamic response. The effects are pronounced at the body resonance frequency, leading to reduced displacements with increasing sea state steepness despite the nonlinear force amplification. This second source is further examined by first considering a truncated cylinder with sharp corners, followed by a domed cylinder with a hemispherical base. The vortex shedding dissipation is much reduced in the latter case. Perhaps of most importance to design practice is the specification of ‘design conditions’. The maximum body displacements were not found to arise from the largest wave crests. Instead, a wave group in which a large wave crest and trough precede the maximum surface elevation cause a gradual build of energy that permits the maximum dynamic response of the body.

description: In-principle restrictions on the amount of information that can be gathered about a system have been proposed as a foundational principle in several recent reconstructions of the formalism of quantum mechanics. However, it seems unclear precisely why one should be thus restricted. We investigate the notion of paradoxical self-reference as a possible origin of such epistemic horizons by means of a fixed-point theorem in Cartesian closed categories due to F. W. Lawvere that illuminates and unifies the different perspectives on self-reference.

description: The objective of the study was to conduct and compare serop­revalence and molecular detection of Anaplasma marginale-in­fected beef herds in Georgia, and to identify herd risk factors associated with A. marginale-positive herds. Herd informa­tion from the beef operations was collected from the sampled herds through a questionnaire to determine practices that may affect the risk of herd infections with A. marginale. Blood samples were collected from 1,059 adult beef cattle (≥ 2 years) from 33 herds. Overall, 8.12% of cattle and 42% of herds were cELISA antibody-positive. Seventy-seven percent of plasma samples from a subset of corresponding seropositive samples (n = 73) were PCR positive. All of the 406 seronegative samples were negative by PCR. There was almost perfect agreement by Cohen’s kappa statistics between PCR and cELISA (k = 0.85). Survey response rate was 100%. Surprisingly, 27% of the pro­ducer respondents had not heard of anaplasmosis. Survey also revealed that many producers had management procedures at their operations that could potentially cause mechanical transmission of A. marginale. About 55% of respondents did not always disin­fect tools between animals and 88% of the operations used the same needle to inject more than one animal. Over 80% of the producer respondents had brought in new cattle onto their op­erations in the last 3 years from the time of this study. Given the 8% seroprevalence in Georgia beef cattle and the reported survey findings from this study, educational programs on ef­fective preventive management practices to control bovine anaplasmosis is warranted.

description: We study non-perturbative aspects of QCD Kondo effect, which has been recently proposed for the finite density and strong magnetic field systems, using conformal field theory describing the low energy physics near the IR fixed point. We clarify the symmetry class of QCD Kondo effect both for the finite density and magnetic field systems, and show how the IR fixed point is non-perturbatively characterized by the boundary condition, which incorporates the impurity effect in Kondo problem. We also obtain the low temperature behavior of several quantities of QCD Kondo effect in the vicinity of the IR fixed point based on the conformal field theory analysis.

On the Regularizing Property of Stochastic Gradient Descent
Creators: name: Jin, Bangti

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Stochastic gradient descent is one of the most successful approaches for solving large-scale problems, especially in machine learning and statistics. At each iteration, it employs an unbiased estimator of the full gradient computed from one single randomly selected data point. Hence, it scales well with problem size and is very attractive for truly massive dataset, and holds significant potentials for solving large-scale inverse problems. In the recent literature of machine learning, it was empirically observed that when equipped with early stopping, it has regularizing property. In this work, we rigorously establish its regularizing property (under \textit{a priori} early stopping rule), and also prove convergence rates under the canonical sourcewise condition, for minimizing the quadratic functional for linear inverse problems. This is achieved by combining tools from classical regularization theory and stochastic analysis. Further, we analyze the preasymptotic weak and strong convergence behavior of the algorithm. The theoretical findings shed insights into the performance of the algorithm, and are complemented with illustrative numerical experiments.

description: We calculate self-consistent models of X-ray irradiated accretion discs in close binary systems. We show that a point X-ray source powered by accretion and located in the disc plane cannot modify the disc structure, mainly because of the self-screening by the disc of its outer regions. Since observations show that the emission of the outer disc regions in low mass X-ray binaries is dominated by the reprocessed X-ray flux, accretion discs in these systems must be either warped or irradiated by a source above the disc plane, or both. We analyse the thermal-viscous stability of irradiated accretion discs and derive the stability criteria of such systems. We find that, contrary to the usual assumptions, the critical accretion rate below which a disc is unstable is rather uncertain since the correct formula describing irradiation is not well known.

description: This paper presents a novel generative model to synthesize fluid simulations from a set of reduced parameters. A convolutional neural network is trained on a collection of discrete, parameterizable fluid simulation velocity fields. Due to the capability of deep learning architectures to learn representative features of the data, our generative model is able to accurately approximate the training data set, while providing plausible interpolated in-betweens. The proposed generative model is optimized for fluids by a novel loss function that guarantees divergence-free velocity fields at all times. In addition, we demonstrate that we can handle complex parameterizations in reduced spaces, and advance simulations in time by integrating in the latent space with a second network. Our method models a wide variety of fluid behaviors, thus enabling applications such as fast construction of simulations, interpolation of fluids with different parameters, time re-sampling, latent space simulations, and compression of fluid simulation data. Reconstructed velocity fields are generated up to 700x faster than re-simulating the data with the underlying CPU solver, while achieving compression rates of up to 1300x.

description: Blood pressure control during pregnancy has received a lot of attention, especially in terms of pregnancy outcomes. However, it is acknowledged that hypertensive disorders of pregnancy can persist in the postpartum period and that complications requiring ER visits or hospital readmission can occur during this time. A Cochrane Review (2013) examines the "prevention and treatment of postpartum hypertension." This only includes nine randomized controlled trials and does not address the issue of blood pressure monitoring during this time. Another review published in 2017 looks at the efficacy and safety of pharmacological interventions, other interventions, and various care models for postpartum hypertension management. Thirty-nine studies were included in this review, and the review addressed the use of antihypertensives to manage postpartum hypertension better; however, the type of visit was not addressed (in-person vs. remote monitoring). Given the scarcity of evidence in this area, we believe a review of all available evidence for the non-inferiority of remote health monitoring vs. in-person visit in preventing ER visits and hospital readmission among patients with de novo hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in the postpartum period are warranted.

Pre-weaned beef and dairy calves that fail to receive mater­nal antibodies are more susceptible to disease. A systematic review and meta-analysis were performed to evaluate the as­sociation between failed transfer of passive immunity (FTPI) and disease in pre-weaned beef and dairy calves. Three data­bases were searched for relevant studies that evaluated calves diagnosed with FTPI at ≤8 days of age and recorded incidence of disease pre-weaning. Twenty-three, out of 182 identified ref­erences, were relevant and contained 46 studies. Twelve stud­ies evaluated the effect of FTPI on morbidity, 18 on mortality, 8 on diarrhea, and 8 on pneumonia. Forty-two of 46 studies (91.3%) reported greater risk for disease among FTPI calves. The strength of association between FTPI and disease var­ied and was not resolved by subgrouping by outcome, animal type, test, cut-off point, or cumulative incidence of disease. Failed transfer of passive immunity is a component cause of calf disease that may have a greater impact in some popula­tions than others.

description: We have detected spatially extended linear polarized UV emission from the high-redshift radio galaxy 3C~256 ($z=1.82$). A spatially integrated ($7.8''$ diameter aperture) measurement of the degree of polarization of the $V-$band (rest frame 0.19 $μ$m) emission yields a value of 16.4\% ($\pm 2.2$\%) with a position angle of $42{}\rlap{\rm .}^\circ 4$ ($\pm 3{}\rlap{\rm .}^\circ 9$), orthogonal to the position angle on the sky of the major axis of the extended emission. The peak emission measured with a $3.6''$ diameter circular aperture is 11.7\% ($\pm 1.5$\%) polarized with a position angle of $42{}\rlap{\rm .}^\circ 4$ ($\pm 3{}\rlap{\rm .}^\circ 6$). An image of the polarized flux is presented, clearly displaying that the polarized flux is extended and present over the entire extent of the object. While it has been suggested that the UV continuum of 3C~256 might be due to star formation (Elston 1988) or a protogalaxy (Eisenhardt \& Dickinson 1993) based on its extremely blue spectral energy distribution and similar morphology at UV and visible wavelengths, we are unable to reconcile the observed high degree of polarization with such a model. While the detection of polarized emission from HZRGs has been shown to be a common phenomena, 3C~256 is only the third object for which a measurement of the extended polarized UV emission has been presented. These data lend additional support to the suggestion first made by di Serego Alighieri and collaborators that the ``alignment effect'', the tendency for the extended UV continuum radiation and line emission from HZRGs to be aligned with the major axis of the extended radio emission, is in large part due to scattering of anisotropic nuclear emission.

description: We introduce a new method for solving maximum likelihood problems through variational calculus, and apply it to the case of recovering an unknown star formation history, $SFR(t)$, from a resulting HR diagram. This approach allows a totally non-parametric solution which has the advantage of requiring no initial assumptions on the $SFR(t)$. As a full maximum likelihood statistical model is used, we take advantage of all the information available in the HR diagram, rather than concentrating on particular features such as turn off points or luminosity functions. We test the method using a series of synthetic HR diagrams produced from known $SFR(t)$, and find it to be quite successful under noise conditions comparable to those present in current observations. At this point we restrict the analysis to situations where the metallicity of the system is known, as is the case with the resolved populations of the dwarf spheroidal companions to the Milky Way or the solar neighbourhood Hipparcos data. We also include tests to quantify the way uncertainties in the assumed metallicity, binary fraction and IMF affect our inferences.

description: This study’s objectives were to assess health and performance outcomes in yearling steers randomized to pens with 4-day, 7-day, 10-day, or 13-day postmetaphylaxis intervals (PMI) following arrival administration of tildipirosin (ZuprevoR). The primary objective was to assess linear or non-linear responses to different PMI. Crossbred beef steers (N = 8,160), 648 lb overall mean body weight, were allocated to 40 pens, in 10 blocks, over a 3-week period. Study blocks were defined by arrival and processing date. Data were analyzed using mixed models for a randomized complete block design with pen as the experimental unit. Across all pens and blocks, the incidence of BRD first pulls, morbidity (temperature > 103.5°F), mortality, and removals were: 11.67%, 9.20%, 0.89% and 0.92%, respectively. During the first 45 days, there were linear relationships between PMI and BRD morbidity (P = 0.006) and BRD first pulls (P = 0.003) indicating that apparent incidence decreased linearly as PMI increased. Over the entire feeding period (mean = 217 days), apparent BRD morbidity also decreased linearly (P = 0.01) as PMI increased; however, there was a quadratic (non-linear) relationship between BRD first pulls and PMI (group means 12.0%, 12.9%, 11.08% and 9.49%, respectively). There were no significant associations (P values > 0.10) between PMI and BRD relapses, first treatment success, case fatality, mortality or any live and carcass performance measures. In this study, longer PMI (fewer days eligible for treatment) led to reduced BRD first treatments, with no evidence for negative impacts on mortality or performance.

description: Several techniques exist for mobile test automation, from script-based techniques to automated test generation based on GUI models. Most techniques fall short in being adopted extensively by practitioners because of the very costly definition (and maintenance) of test cases. We present a novel testing framework for Android apps that allows a developer to write effective test scripts without having to know the implementation details and the user interface of the app under test. The main goal of the framework is to generate adaptive tests that can be executed on a significant number of apps, or different releases of the same app, without manual editing of the tests. The frameworks consists of: (1) a Test Scripting Language, that allows the tester to write generic test scripts tailored to activity and app categories; (2) a State Graph Modeler, that creates a model of the app's GUI, identifying activities (i.e., screens) and widgets; (3) an app classifier that determines the type of application under test; (4) an activity classifier that determines the purpose of each screen; (5) a test adapter that executes test scripts that are compatible with the specific app and activity, automatically tailoring the test scripts to the classes of the app and the activities under test. We evaluated empirically the components of our testing framework. The classifiers were able to outperform available approaches in the literature. The developed testing frameworkwas able to correctly adapt high-level test cases to 28 out of 32 applications, and to reduce the LOCs of the test scripts of around 90%.We conclude that machine learning can be fruitfully applied to the creation of high-level, adaptive test cases for Android apps. Our framework is modular in nature and allows expansions through the addition of new commands to be executed on the classified apps and activities.

Amazonian forest functional composition and resilience to sellective logging: an enquiry using permanent sample plot data and computer simulation models
Creators: name: Karfakis, Theodoros
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2015

description: This study set out to explore the hypothesis that previously undisturbed Amazonian terra firme (non-flooded) tropical forests show a gradient in resilience to selective logging as a function of tree species functional composition and in particular a positive relation with the presence of a specific ecological guild regarded as intermediate in the process of ecological succession known as the light hardwoods (LHW‟s). Field data came from the Manaus and Tapajos regions in Brazil and the Puerto Maldonado region in Peru. In response to drought stress induced canopy opening which is the natural disturbance analogue to selective logging, there was a significantly better performance in terms of turnover (diameter growth, mortality and recruitment) of the LHW‟s relative to climax species. Inresponse to selective logging trees growing within logging gaps showed a similar growth performance gradient 3 years after logging when species ecological guild was not taken under account.In series simulation experiments where conducted to determine actual stand levelcompositional and biomass responses to logging. Forest dynamics models in the SYMFORframework were used to conduct simulations of the most common logging practices. Results indicated that functional composition deviation from undisturbed forest showed a positive relation with resilience with LHW‟s proportions but only up to a certain threshold. Above this their proportion was positively related with deviation from primary forest conditions and therefore negatively related to resilience. A similar pattern was observed for stand basal area with intermediate sites showing the greatest resilience. For sites with low and medium proportions the opposite pattern was observed with sites of highest proportions showing the second greatest resilience followed by sites with lowest. This study indicates that there is a positive correlation between proportions of LHW trees in a forest stand and resilience to selective logging as currently practiced in the Brazilian Amazon but only up to a certain compositional threshold in functional composition.

description: The objective of this study was to identify factors associated with veterinary involvement in cattle health and production record (CHPR) management on U.S. cow-calf operations. We anonymously surveyed 14,294 cow-calf producers across the U.S. Multivariable logistic regression by manual forward variable selection was used to test demographic factors for association with veterinary involvement in CHPR management outcomes. A total of 3,741 (26%) responses were received, with 3,641 (97%) actively involved in cow-calf production. Of these, 2,216 of 3,486 (64%) said local veterinarians were their primary source of cattle health, treatment, and vaccination information. If available, 1,067 of 3,382 (32%) respondents would pay a veterinarian to analyze CHPR and provide management advice based on that information. Factors associated with willingness to pay a veterinarian for CHPR-keeping services include region (midwest: OR = 1.5; mountain: OR = 1.3; northeast: OR = 1.4; northern plains: OR = 1.8; southern plains: OR = 1.7; southeast: OR = 1.9; compared to west), cow-calf operation is not respondent’s primary income source (OR = 1.4; compared to being respondent’s primary income source), respondent records antibiotic treatments (OR = 1.4; compared to not recording antibiotic treatments), respondent education level (post-graduate or professional degree: OR = 1.4; some college up to completed Bachelor’s degree: OR = 1.1; compared to high-school diploma or less). A meaningful number of respondents were willing to pay a veterinarian for CHPR management services depending on region, income source, antibiotic record use and education level.

description: We report the statistical detection (at the >99% confidence level) of a population of 28th magnitude objects exhibiting proper motions of ~1 arcsecond per hour at quadrature in deep HST/WFPC2 images. The drift directions imply a preponderance of objects on prograde orbits concentrated near the ecliptic plane. We interpret this as the detection of objects which reside in the Kuiper belt near or beyond the orbit of Neptune, comparable in size to comet 1P/Halley (radii ~10 km for an albedo of 4%). Our observations imply a population of ~2.5x10^4 objects deg^-2 with V<28.6. This must be viewed as a lower limit until our search of parameter space is complete. Our observations imply that there are >2x10^8 objects of this size in the Kuiper belt with inclinations <12 degrees and within ~40 AU of the Sun.

description: Recently, computer-aided disease detection from chest radiographs made considerable progress by using convolutional neural networks but issues like insufficient data quality or data availability remain. Informed machine learning (IML) combines domain knowledge and data-driven approaches and has been shown to improve results in many applications. However, there is limited research comparing and combining multiple IML approaches. This paper tackles this issue by implementing, combining, and evaluating three IML approaches for cardiomegaly detection. We find that curriculum learning and cropping images to regions of interest can improve prediction performance. With these results, we provide a reference for both implementing and evaluating multiple IML approaches as well as demonstrating methods to combine IML approaches.
"Fashion for Art's Sake": Willi Smith, WilliWear, and the Imbrication of Fashion and the Avant Garde

description: Abstract

Willi Smith, a pioneering Black American designer, revolutionized the fashion industry by merging avant-garde artistry with everyday streetwear, a concept he termed “street couture.” This article explores Smith’s impact on fashion, highlighting his collaborations with contemporary artists such as Christo and Jeanne-Claude, Barbara Kruger, and Nam June Paik, which blurred the boundaries between fashion, performance, and visual art. By democratizing style and rejecting elitism, Smith made high fashion accessible, integrating diverse cultural influences and championing inclusivity. His designs, characterized by relaxed silhouettes and innovative textiles, reflected urban life and social mobility. Smith’s visionary approach extended to performance art, film, and large-scale installations, notably designing uniforms for Christo’s Pont Neuf Wrapped project in Paris. Despite his untimely death from AIDS in 1987, Smith’s legacy endures, shaping contemporary discussions on race, gender, and accessibility in fashion. This study situates Smith within the historical and cultural landscape of the 1970s and 1980s, employing object-based fashion research to analyze his enduring contributions to design, art, and social change.
