description: Trisoctahedral (TOH) shaped Au nanocrystals (NCs) have emerged as a new class of metal nanoparticles (MNP) due to its superior catalystic and SERS activities caused by the presence of high density atomic steps and dangling bonds on their high index facets. We examine the radiative localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) modes of an isolated single TOH Au NC using cathodoluminescence (CL), with high resolution spatial information of the local density of optical states (LDOS) across the visible spectral range. Further we show pronounced enhancement factor in the Raman scattering by performing Raman spectroscopic measurements on Rhodamine 6G (R6G) covered TOH Au NPs aggregates on a Si substrate. We believe that the hot spots between two adjacent MNP surfaces (nanogaps) can be significantly stronger than single particle LSPRs. Such nanogaps hotspots may have crucial role on the substantial SERS enhancement observed in this report. Consequently, the present study indicates that MNPs aggregates are highly desirable than individual plasmonic nanoparticles for possible applications in SERS based biosensing.

description: In any general cycle of measurement, feedback and erasure, the measurement will reduce the entropy of the system when information about the state is obtained, while erasure, according to Landauer's principle, is accompanied by a corresponding increase in entropy due to the compression of logical and physical phase space. The total process can in principle be fully reversible. A measurement error reduces the information obtained and the entropy decrease in the system. The erasure still gives the same increase in entropy and the total process is irreversible. Another consequence of measurement error is that a bad feedback is applied, which further increases the entropy production if the proper protocol adapted to the expected error rate is not applied. We consider the effect of measurement error on a realistic single-electron box Szilard engine. We find the optimal protocol for the cycle as a function of the desired power $P$ and error $ε$, as well as the existence of a maximal power $P^{\max}$.

description: The local behavior of the lowest order boundary element method on quasi-uniform meshes for Symm's integral equation and the stabilized hyper-singular integral equation on polygonal/polyhedral Lipschitz domains is analyzed. We prove local a priori estimates in $L^2$ for Symm's integral equation and in $H^1$ for the hypersingular equation. The local rate of convergence is limited by the local regularity of the sought solution and the sum of the global regularity and additional regularity provided by the shift theorem for a dual problem.

description: The famous Descartes' rule of signs from 1637 giving an upper bound on the number of positive roots of a real univariate polynomials in terms of the number of sign changes of its coefficients, has been an indispensable source of inspiration for generations of mathematicians. Trying to extend and sharpen this rule, we consider below the set of all real univariate polynomials of a given degree, a given collection of signs of their coefficients, and a given number of positive and negative roots. In spite of the elementary definition of the main object of our study, it is a non-trivial question for which sign patterns and numbers of positive and negative roots the corresponding set is non-empty. The main result of the present paper is a discovery of a new infinite family of non-realizable combinations of sign patterns and the numbers of positive and negative roots.

description: Cable median barriers (CMBs) are installed on freeway medians to prevent cross-median crashes and reduce the severity of median-related crashes. Though CMBs are effective in preventing cross-median crashes, they are also known to increase the number of property damage–only (PDO) crashes. The higher frequency of PDO crashes could result in increased CMB maintenance and repair expenses. The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety impact and economic justification of CMBs in Louisiana. Initially, a flowchart was developed using Louisiana crash data to identify targeted crashes, such as median-related and cross-median crashes. This was followed by a 3-year observational before-and-after crash analysis with an emphasis on head-on collisions and crashes involving large trucks. Using a 4-step improved prediction method, crash modification factors were then developed to quantitatively assess the impact of CMBs on crash outcomes, accounting for and adjusting to changes in the annual average daily traffic (AADT) and relevant crash frequencies before and after CMB implementation. Finally, an exhaustive benefit–cost analysis was conducted to determine the cost-effectiveness of CMBs. The results revealed that CMBs significantly reduced cross-median crashes of all severities. However, an increase in PDO crashes was observed in both total and median-related crashes. Large truck cross-median crashes and head-on collisions also decreased significantly after CMB implementation. Testing Level 4 (TL-4) CMBs were found to be more effective in preventing vehicles from crossing the median and in reducing crashes of higher severity levels. The benefit–cost ratios, calculated using economic crash unit costs for both total and targeted crashes, were greater than 1. Notably, the estimated benefit–cost ratios were considerably higher, demonstrating that CMBs are cost-effective countermeasures for enhancing traffic safety. This study contributes to the understanding of CMB performance from both traffic safety and economic perspectives. The findings may assist transportation agencies in making decisions regarding the management of CMB systems. Based on the comprehensive analysis of CMBs on Louisiana freeways, this project has revealed that CMBs are an effective and economically justified crash countermeasure. Thus, further implementation of CMBs is recommended until better alternatives are available.

description: We compare the short- and mid-term postoperative outcomes of the iStent inject® with its successor, the iStent inject® W. A retrospective monocentric study was performed to compare the iStent inject® used for cataract surgery with the iStent inject® W, also used for cataract surgery. The primary study endpoint was intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction six months after surgery. Six-month follow-up results were available for 35 eyes from 27 patients in the iStent inject® group and for 32 eyes from 25 patients in the iStent inject® W group. IOP reduction at six months post surgery was significantly greater in the iStent inject® W group (−2.2 mmHg [iStent inject® W] vs. −0.06 mmHg [iStent inject®], p = 0.037). There was a statistically greater decrease in glaucoma medication administration at six months in the iStent inject® group than in the iStent inject® W group (−1.28 agents vs. −0.62 agents, p = 0.007). These findings support the hypothesis that the superior positioning of the iStent inject® W (due to its larger base diameter) compared to the iStent Inject® leads to greater IOP reduction. Because of the short follow-up period, small study cohort, and differences in the number of glaucoma patients, the study results must be interpreted carefully.

Russell Kirk and the moral imagination
Creators: name: Fairley, John
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis is a comprehensive investigation of Russell Kirk’s doctrine of the Moral Imagination. It focuses especially on the nature of the Moral Imagination as integrative and non-reductionist, or what Kirk sometimes describes as illative. It explores Kirk’s development of this concept as one through which the individual can grasp his fully human nature and dignity, and which makes use of all the important areas of human social interactions and all the human faculties of knowing, providing man with immersive moral knowledge and support. The thesis is significant for its unique focus on Kirk’s Christian humanist influences – especially T. S. Eliot, Christopher Dawson, G. K. Chesterton, and C. S. Lewis. The aim is to understand Kirk’s attempt to develop the concept of a normative imagination that avoids reductionism in understanding man’s moral life, by presenting a unified vision that neglects no important aspects of man’s life, being, and social interactions. The thesis also aims to explore the norms that Kirk believes it is the purpose of the Moral Imagination to apprehend and to structure human life. This contribution is clarified through comparing Kirk’s use of the concept of the moral or normative imagination to recent use of the concept by writers such as Martha Nussbaum and David Bromwich. This thesis also contrasts Kirk’s vision of the Moral Imagination with the kind of sceptical conservatism exemplified in the writings of Michael Oakeshott. The aim of this comparison is to discover whether Kirk’s theory of the Moral Imagination can overcome the limitations of a conservatism that rejects the role of universal norms and purposes in politics and constructs its conservatism only on the foundation of avoiding rapid and incautious change.

description: In this paper, we combine the $ν$-Two-Higgs-Doublet-Model ($ν$THDM) with the inverse seesaw mechanisms. In this model, the Yukawa couplings involving the sterile neutrinos and the exotic Higgs bosons can be of order one in the case of a large $\tan β$. We calculated the corrections to the Z-resonance parameters $R_{l_i}$, $A_{l_i}$, $N_ν$, together with the $l_1 \rightarrow l_2 γ$ branching ratios, and the muon anomalous $g-2$. Compared with the current bounds and plans for the future colliders, we find that the corrections to the electroweak parameters can be contrained or discovered in much of the parameter space.

The possibility of more accurate future studies of the parameters of star groups using the Gaia catalogues is discussed.

description: This study investigated the effects of different seatbelt geometries and load-limiting levels on the kinematics and injury risks of a reclined occupant during a whole-sequence frontal crash scenario, using simulations with the Active SAFER Human Body Model (Active SHBM). The Active SHBM was positioned in a reclined position (50°) on a semi-rigid seat model. A whole-sequence frontal crash scenario, an 11 m/s2 Automated Emergency Braking (AEB) phase followed by a frontal crash at 50 km/h, was simulated. The seatbelt geometry was varied using either a B-pillar-integrated (BPI) or Belt-in-seat (BIS) design. The shoulder belt load-limiting level of the BPI seatbelt was also varied to achieve either similar shoulder belt forces (BPI_Lower_LL) or comparable upper body displacements (BPI_Higher_LL) to the BIS seatbelt. Kinematics of different body regions and seatbelt forces were compared. The risks of sustaining a mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI), two or more fractured ribs (NFR2+), and lumbar spine vertebral fractures were also compared. During the pre-crash phase, head, first thoracic vertebra, and first lumbar vertebra displacements were greater with the BPI seatbelt than with the BIS, mainly due to the lack of initial contact between the torso and the seatbelt. Pelvis pre-crash displacements, however, remained consistent across seatbelt types. In the in-crash phase, variations in shoulder belt forces were directly influenced by the different load-limiting levels of the shoulder belt. The mTBI (around 20%) and NFR2+ (around 70–100%) risks were amplified with BPI seatbelts, especially at higher load-limiting force. However, the BPI design demonstrated reduced lumbar spine fracture risks (from 30% to 1%). The BIS seatbelt appears promising, as seen with the reduced mTBI and NFR2+ risks, for ensuring the protection of reclined occupants in frontal crashes. However, additional solutions, such as lap belt load limiting, should be considered to reduce lumbar spine loading.

description: We show that if $G$ is a group of type $FP_{n+1}^{\mathbb{Z}_2}$ that is coarsely separated into three essential, coarse disjoint, coarse complementary components by a coarse $PD_n^{\mathbb{Z}_2}$ space $W,$ then $W$ is at finite Hausdorff distance from a subgroup $H$ of $G$; moreover, $G$ splits over a subgroup commensurable to a subgroup of $H$. We use this to deduce that splittings of the form $G=A*_HB$, where $G$ is of type $FP_{n+1}^{\mathbb{Z}_2}$ and $H$ is a coarse $PD_n^{\mathbb{Z}_2}$ group such that both $|\mathrm{Comm}_A(H): H|$ and $|\mathrm{Comm}_B(H): H|$ are greater than two, are invariant under quasi-isometry.

description: This work presents a linear analytical calculation on the stability and evolution of a compressible, viscous self-gravitating (SG) Keplerian disc with both horizontal thermal diffusion and a constant cooling timescale when an axisymmetric structure is present and freely evolving. The calculation makes use of the shearing sheet model and is carried out for a range of cooling times. Although the solutions to the inviscid problem with no cooling or diffusion are well known, it is non-trivial to predict the effect caused by the introduction of cooling and of small diffusivities; this work focuses on perturbations of intermediate wavelengths, therefore representing an extension to the classical stability analysis on thermal and viscous instabilities. For density wave modes the analysis can be simplified by means of a regular perturbation analysis; considering both shear and thermal diffusivities, the system is found to be overstable for intermediate and long wavelengths for values of the Toomre parameter $Q \lesssim 2$; a non-SG instability is also detected for wavelengths $\gtrsim 18H$, where $H$ is the disc scale height, as long as $γ\lesssim 1.305$. The regular perturbation analysis does not however hold for the entropy and potential vorticity slow modes as their ideal growth rates are degenerate. To understand their evolution, equations for the axisymmetric structure's amplitudes in these two quantities are analytically derived and their instability regions obtained. The instability appears boosted by increasing the value of the adiabatic index and of the Prandtl number, while it is quenched by efficient cooling.

Meanwhile, we give the Bäcklund transformations of the $Z_n$-Sine-Gordon and $Z_n$-Sinh-Gordon equations which can generate new solutions from seed solutions. To see the $Z_n$-systems clearly, we consider the $Z_2$-Sine-Gordon and $Z_3$-Sine-Gordon equations explicitly including their Bäcklund transformations, the nonlinear superposition formula and Lax pairs.

description: The leaching and reusability problem of the catalyst in the catalytic transesterification for biodiesel production led to the poor sustainability and high posttreatment cost. Herein, a reusable magnetic Ca2Fe2O5/CaO@MgFe2O4-Fe2O3 catalyst with high textural stability and good catalytic activity was prepared in this study, and its catalytic performance toward transesterification of five different oil feedstocks was evaluated. Catalyst preparation conditions were optimized and characterizations including scanning electron microscope (SEM), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), and so on, were also conducted to investigate the catalytic behaviors. The results demonstrated that the catalyst has good ferromagnetism for magnetic separation, and the presence of synergistic interaction enhanced catalytic activity with all of > 90% biodiesel yield and improved the reusability with > 75% biodiesel yields at the 10th cycle. In addition, the biodiesel yield reached the maximum under the transesterification reaction parameters were optimized, and at the 15/1 methanol/oil molar ratio, 2.5 wt% catalyst dosage, 70°C for 120 min. Further, for biodiesel from five different oil feedstocks, the same composition, all of > 90% yield and the quality that met the American Society of Testing Materials (ASTM) standards demonstrated the strong oil feedstocks applicability and application potential of catalysts.

description: The low-P high-T Omeo Metamorphic Complex, located in the Lachlan Fold Belt, formed in the Silurian by amphibolite-grade metamorphism of quartz-rich Ordovician turbidites. I-type and S-type granites intruded the complex in the Silurian and Devonian. The study area is a 15 km by 15 km area of this terrane located near the town of Omeo in the Snowy Mountains of Victoria. I-type and S-type granites (predominantly the S-type Cobungra Granite) make up the western part of the study area with the metasedimentary rocks of the Omeo Metamorphic Complex decreasing in grade toward the east away from the Cobungra Granite, forming a regional aureole. This study involved the sampling and characterisation of rocks in the study area, focusing on petrography, mineral chemistry and whole-rock chemistry. Zircon morphology, U/Pb geochronology and major and trace element chemistry was characterised for four samples to determine whether the high-T metasedimentary rocks of the Omeo Metamorphic Complex are the source for the adjacent S-type Cobungra Granite. A crystallisation age of 423.6 ± 4.8 Ma was resolved for one Cobungra Granite sample which marks the first time this granite has been dated using U/Pb in zircon. Unfortunately, the U/Pb zircon data from the other samples was too disturbed to be useful. However, zircon trace element data showed that the metasedimentary sample was distinct from the granite samples suggesting the source of the S-type magmatism is different to the exposed high-T metasedimentary rocks. Zircon trace element data was also useful in making links between geochronological and morphological data.

With a single laser beam, and by carrying two counter-directional nonlinear transmissions to assess the input and output coupling efficiencies, a novel procedure is described leading to an accurate measurement of the TPA figure of merit, the effective Two-Photon Absorption (TPA) and optical Kerr (including the sign) coefficients. The technique is validated in a silicon strip waveguide for which the effective nonlinear coefficients are measured with an accuracy of $\pm 10~\%$

description: Weak value amplification (WVA) is a technique in which one can magnify the apparent strength of a measurement signal. Some have claimed that WVA can outperform more conventional measurement schemes in parameter estimation. Nonetheless, a significant body of theoretical work has challenged this perspective, suggesting WVA to be fundamentally sub-optimal. Optimal measurements may not be practical, however. Two practical considerations that have been conjectured to afford a benefit to WVA over conventional measurement are certain types of noise and detector saturation. Here, we report a theoretical study of the role of saturation and pixel noise in WVA-based measurement, in which we carry out a Bayesian analysis of the Fisher information available using a saturable, pixelated, digitized, and/or noisy detector. We draw two conclusions: first, that saturation alone does not confer an advantage to the WVA approach over conventional measurement, and second, that WVA can outperform conventional measurement when saturation is combined with intrinsic pixel noise and/or digitization.

Persians, politics and patronage: Roman conceptions of a diplomatic relationship with Sasanian Persia
Creators: name: Commons, Sean P.
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis' aim is to explore how Roman authors and their portrayed subjects conceived of Rome's political relationship with Sasanian Persia. In particular, to what extent these conceptions were influenced by Roman notions and practices of 'patronage', at both a personal level and as transposed onto foreign relations as so-called 'client' or dependent kingdoms. The interrelationship between these and previously explored elements of the Romano-Sasanian relationship shall be examined through a study of examples of both Roman internal political relations and existing foreign relations. It will be argued that shared practices and notions of patronage and amicitia could act as a cross-cultural mediator and have a demonstrable effect on the practice of diplomacy. This will be accompanied by an exploration of the persistence of dependent relationship well into Late Antiquity, demonstrating their continued pervasiveness and relevance in the period despite processes such as ‘provincialisation’. Ultimately, examining the influences of interpersonal relationships like patronage and amicitia will provide a more nuanced understanding of Rome and Persia’s political relationship.
Sample size for comparing negative binomial rates in noninferiority and equivalence trials with unequal follow-up times

Subjects: subject: Methodology (stat.ME)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: We derive the sample size formulae for comparing two negative binomial rates based on both the relative and absolute rate difference metrics in noninferiority and equivalence trials with unequal follow-up times, and establish an approximate relationship between the sample sizes required for the treatment comparison based on the two treatment effect metrics. The proposed method allows the dispersion parameter to vary by treatment groups. The accuracy of these methods is assessed by simulations. It is demonstrated that ignoring the between-subject variation in the follow-up time by setting the follow-up time for all individuals to be the mean follow-up time may greatly underestimate the required size, resulting in underpowered studies. Methods are provided for back-calculating the dispersion parameter based on the published summary results.

description: We study the spin dynamics of the Resonant Excitonic State (RES) proposed, within the theory of an emergent SU(2) symmetry, to explain some properties of the pseudo-gap phase of cuprate superconductors. The RES can be described as a proliferation of particle-hole patches with an internal modulated structure. We model the RES modes as a charge order with multiple $2{\bf {p}}_{\text{F}}$ ordering vectors, where $2{\bf {p}}_{\text{F}}$ connects two opposite side of the Fermi surface. This simple modelization enables us to propose a comprehensive study of the collective mode observed at the antiferromagnetic (AF) wave vector $\mathbf{Q}=(π,π)$ by Inelastic Neutron Scattering (INS) in both superconducting state (SC), but also in the Pseudogap regime. In this regime, we show that the dynamic spin susceptibility accuses a loss of coherence terms except at special wave vectors commensurate with the lattice. We argue that this phenomenon could explain the change of the spin response shape around $\mathbf{Q}$. We demonstrate that the hole dependence of the RES spin dynamics is in agreement with the experimental data in HgBa$_{2}$CuO$_{4+δ}$.

description: Conditional automated driving (SAE level 3) requires the driver to take over the vehicle if the automated system fails. The mental workload that can occur in these takeover situations is an important human factor that can directly affect driver behavior and safety, so it is important to predict it. Therefore, this study introduces a method to predict mental workload during takeover situations in automated driving, using the ACT-R (Adaptive Control of Thought-Rational) cognitive architecture. The mental workload prediction model proposed in this study is a computational model that can become the basis for emerging crash avoidance technologies in future autonomous driving situations. The methodology incorporates the ACT-R cognitive architecture, known for its robustness in modeling cognitive processes and predicting performance. The proposed takeover cognitive model includes the symbolic structure for repeatedly checking the driving situation and performing decision-making for takeover as well as Non-Driving-Related Tasks (NDRT). We employed the ACT-R cognitive model to predict mental workload during takeover in automated driving scenarios. The model’s predictions are validated against physiological data and performance data from the validation test. The model demonstrated high accuracy, with an r-square value of 0.97, indicating a strong correlation between the predicted and actual mental workload. It successfully captured the nuances of multitasking in driving scenarios, showcasing the model’s adaptability in representing diverse cognitive demands during takeover. The study confirms the efficacy of the ACT-R model in predicting mental workload for takeover scenarios in automated driving. It underscores the model’s potential in improving driver-assistance systems, enhancing vehicle safety, and ensuring the efficient integration of human-machine roles. The research contributes significantly to the field of cognitive modeling, providing robust predictions and insights into human behavior in automated driving tasks.
Emerging quantum correlations from interacting fibre-cavity polaritons

description: The research presented in this thesis reports on experimental investigations into photon-photon interactions facilitated by strongly interacting microcavity polaritons. We use a highly flexible fibre Fabry-Pérot microcavity setup to impose photonic-mode confinement of the polariton mode to create zero-dimensional polariton boxes. The strong optical confinement afforded by the geometries of the fibre mirror, polariton interactions are effectively enhanced,introducing significant system nonlinearities noticeable at the single particle level. This nonlinear behaviour results in the polariton blockade regime where the system can only support one polariton at a time and observable through the antibunching of the transmitted photons.
Interface band gap narrowing behind open circuit voltage losses in Cu$_2$ZnSnS$_4$ solar cells

description: We present evidence that band gap narrowing at the heterointerface may be a major cause of the large open circuit voltage deficit of Cu$_2$ZnSnS$_4$/CdS solar cells. Band gap narrowing is caused by surface states that extend the Cu$_2$ZnSnS$_4$ valence band into the forbidden gap. Those surface states are consistently found in Cu$_2$ZnSnS$_4$, but not in Cu$_2$ZnSnSe$_4$, by first-principles calculations. They do not simply arise from defects at surfaces but are an intrinsic feature of Cu$_2$ZnSnS$_4$ surfaces. By including those states in a device model, the outcome of previously published temperature-dependent open circuit voltage measurements on Cu$_2$ZnSnS$_4$ solar cells can be reproduced quantitatively without necessarily assuming a cliff-like conduction band offset with the CdS buffer layer. Our first-principles calculations indicate that Zn-based alternative buffer layers are advantageous due to the ability of Zn to passivate those surface states. Focusing future research on Zn-based buffers is expected to significantly improve the open circuit voltage and efficiency of pure-sulfide Cu$_2$ZnSnS$_4$ solar cells.

description: Cимволическое начало как в истории искусства, так и во всеобщей истории культуры, обращается к общепринятой культурной символике, ее переработке и умножению. Не меньшее значение в культуре принадлежит и другому смыслопорождающему началу, которое принципиально неотрефлектировано человеком и может быть названо началом «до-словным», то есть располагающимся до-, между-, внеслов, и, шире, внезнаков и символов культуры. Это дословное начало в гораздо меньшей степени изучено, хотя магия воздействия искусства как раз проистекает не из общепринятого, пусть и совершенного, но из невербализуемых линий воздействия, задающего новые ракурсы восприятия и понимания мира, понимания самого себя. Автор исследует, как разворот в искусстве от начала символического к дословному (включающему такие составляющие, как внимание к экзистенциальному, внимание к сфере возможного, мышление не символами, а в самой пластике материала) выступает существенной характеристикой возникающих на грани XX столетия различных течений модернизма

description: In this work, we present our experience when developing the Matching Framework (MaF), a framework for matching ontologies that allows users to configure their own ontology matching algorithms and it allows developers to perform research on new complex algorithms. MaF provides numerical results instead of logic results provided by other kinds of algorithms. The framework can be configured by selecting the simple algorithms which will be used from a set of 136 basic algorithms, indicating exactly how many and how these algorithms will be composed and selecting the thresholds for retrieving the most promising mappings. Output results are provided in a standard format so that they can be used in many existing tools (evaluators, mediators, viewers, and so on) which follow this standard. The main goal of our work is not to better the existing solutions for ontology matching, but to help research new ways of combining algorithms in order to meet specific needs. In fact, the system can test more than 6 * 136! possible combinations of algorithms, but the graphical interface is designed to simplify the matching process.

description: This paper aims to address the challenge of low accuracy in single-modal driver anger recognition by introducing a multimodal driver anger recognition model. The primary objective is to develop a multimodal fusion recognition method for identifying driver anger, focusing on electrocardiographic (ECG) signals and driving behavior signals. Emotion-inducing experiments were performed employing a driving simulator to capture both ECG signals and driving behavioral signals from drivers experiencing both angry and calm moods. An analysis of characteristic relationships and feature extraction was conducted on ECG signals and driving behavior signals related to driving anger. Seventeen effective feature indicators for recognizing driving anger were chosen to construct a dataset for driver anger. A binary classification model for recognizing driving anger was developed utilizing the Support Vector Machine (SVM) algorithm. Multimodal fusion demonstrated significant advantages over single-modal approaches in emotion recognition. The SVM-DS model using decision-level fusion had the highest accuracy of 84.75%. Compared with the driver anger emotion recognition model based on unimodal ECG features, unimodal driving behavior features, and multimodal feature layer fusion, the accuracy increased by 9.10%, 4.15%, and 0.8%, respectively. The proposed multimodal recognition model, incorporating ECG and driving behavior signals, effectively identifies driving anger. The research results provide theoretical and technical support for the establishment of a driver anger system.
Local Linear Constraint based Optimization Model for Dual Spectral CT

description: Dual spectral computed tomography (DSCT) can achieve energy- and material-selective images, and has a superior distinguishability of some materials than conventional single spectral computed tomography (SSCT). However, the decomposition process is illposed, which is sensitive with noise, thus the quality of decomposed images are usually degraded, especially the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is much lower than single spectra based directly reconstructions. In this work, we first establish a local linear relationship between dual spectra based decomposed results and single spectra based directly reconstructed images. Then, based on this constraint, we propose an optimization model for DSCT and develop a guided image filtering based iterative solution method. Both simulated and real experiments are provided to validate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.
