description: The manuscript describes fast and scalable architectures and associated algorithms for computing convolutions and cross-correlations. The basic idea is to map 2D convolutions and cross-correlations to a collection of 1D convolutions and cross-correlations in the transform domain. This is accomplished through the use of the Discrete Periodic Radon Transform (DPRT) for general kernels and the use of SVD-LU decompositions for low-rank kernels. The approach uses scalable architectures that can be fitted into modern FPGA and Zynq-SOC devices. Based on different types of available resources, for $P\times P$ blocks, 2D convolutions and cross-correlations can be computed in just $O(P)$ clock cycles up to $O(P^2)$ clock cycles. Thus, there is a trade-off between performance and required numbers and types of resources. We provide implementations of the proposed architectures using modern programmable devices (Virtex-7 and Zynq-SOC). Based on the amounts and types of required resources, we show that the proposed approaches significantly outperform current methods.

description: We present algebraic construction of Darboux matrices for 1+1-dimensional integrable systems of nonlinear partial differential equations with a special stress on the nonisospectral case. We discuss different approaches to the Darboux-Backlund transformation, based on different lambda-dependencies of the Darboux matrix: polynomial, sum of partial fractions, or the transfer matrix form. We derive symmetric N-soliton formulas in the general case. The matrix spectral parameter and dressing actions in loop groups are also discussed. We describe reductions to twisted loop groups, unitary reductions, the matrix Lax pair for the KdV equation and reductions of chiral models (harmonic maps) to SU(n) and to Grassmann spaces. We show that in the KdV case the nilpotent Darboux matrix generates the binary Darboux transformation. The paper is intended as a review of known results (usually presented in a novel context) but some new results are included as well, e.g., general compact formulas for N-soliton surfaces and linear and bilinear constraints on the nonisospectral Lax pair matrices which are preserved by Darboux transformations.

description: Trade cycle 7-10 years before 1939, since then: strongly modified by government intervention. Trade cycle in the post-war world - is the cycle obsolete? ...We can see from the study of the trade cycle (analysis of equilibria, also simulation) that the length of the lag affects the period: the longer the lag, the longer the period of the lag. For very long reaction times you might get a trend, if also the positive feed-back is strong. Thus we must introduce terms with a slow reaction and a positive feed back. K. [Kalecki] uses the form of "semi-autonomous" (semi-exogenous) variables, i.e. he brings them in as functions of t, but explains verbally how they are slowly affected by the development of the economy. He is very cautious about it, because he is afraid of making too far reaching conclusions [...]. (Auszug, S. 1 und S. 15)

description: The radiative and jet power in active galactic nuclei is generated by accretion of material on to supermassive galactic-centre black holes. For quasars, where the radiative power is by definition very high, objects with high radio luminosities form around 10 per cent of the population, although it is not clear whether this is a stable phase. Traditionally, quasars with high radio luminosities have been thought to present jets with edge-brightened morphology (Fanaroff-Riley II - FR II) due to the limitations of previous radio surveys (i.e., FRIs were not observed as part of the quasar population). The LOw Frequency ARray (LOFAR) Two-metre Sky Survey (LoTSS) with its unprecedented sensitivity and resolution covering wide sky areas has enabled the first systematic selection and investigation of quasars with core-brightened morphology (Fanaroff-Riley I - FR). We carried out a Very Large Array (VLA) snapshot survey to reveal inner structures of jets in selected quasar candidates; 15 (25 per cent) out of 60 sources show clear inner jet structures that are diagnostic of FRI jets and 13 quasars (around 22 per cent) show extended structures similar to those of FRI jets. Black hole masses and Eddington ratios do not show a clear difference between FRI and FRII quasars. FRII quasars tend to have higher jet powers than FRI quasars. Our results show that the occurrence of FRI jets in powerful radiatively efficient systems is not common, probably mainly due to two factors: galaxy environment and jet power.

Colour image coding using linear transformation and block quantization
Creators: name: Seecheran, Cris Anand
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A bandwidth compression and redundancy reduction scheme was investigated in a digital colour image transmission system employing a linear transformation and block quantization technique. Colour images were represented by the N.T.S.C.'s Red, Green, Blue and Y, I, Q Receiver Primary and Transmission Co-ordinate systems respectively. The Y, I and Q signals were assumed to constitute a homogeneous Gauss-Markov random field modelled by an exponential correlation function of the form R(x,x¹,y,y¹) = exp[-α |x-x¹| - β|y-y¹|], where α, β are the correlation coefficients in the horizontal and vertical directions, respectively. Linear transformations employed were the discrete Fourier and Hadamard transformations. In the block coding scheme, blocksizes of 8 x 8 and 16 x 16 picture elements were used and in the quantization strategy, both optimum uniform and optimum non-uniform quantizers were considered. The Fourier and Hadamard coding schemes were evaluated in terms of the mean square error between original and reconstructed images, and by subjective preference. Based on the theoretical results, the Hadamard transform was superior to the Fourier transform for bit assignments below approximately 1.0 bits per picture element (bits/pel.), on each of the Y, I and Q signal planes. The experimental results showed the Hadamard coded images to be superior to the Fourier coded images from both the mean square error criterion and from a subjective evaluation of the processed images. Pictures coded with blocksizes of 16 x 16 picture elements were superior to those coded with 8x8 blocksizes. There was no noticeable difference in image quality between the optimum uniform or optimum nonuniform quantizer. Good quality images were obtained for an assignment of 2.0 bits/pel. on the Y signal and 0.375 bits/pel. on the I and Q signals. For some Hadamard transformed images, good quality reproductions were obtained for a total bit assignment as low as 1.75 bits/pel. Some experiments employing simple zonal low pass filtering schemes were also carried out when transform coding the entire image in its 256 x 256 format. When using this scheme, as compared to the block quantization scheme, better quality images were obtained for the Fourier system for equivalent bit assignments. There was not much difference for the Hadamard coded images.

description: The Extreme-Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer on board the HINODE satellite is used to examine the loop system described in Marsh et al. (2009) by applying spectroscopic diagnostic methods. A simple isothermal mapping algorithm is applied to determine where the assumption of isothermal plasma may be valid, and the emission measure locii technique is used to determine the temperature profile along the base of the loop system. It is found that, along the base, the loop has a uniform temperature profile with a mean temperature of 0.89 +- 0.09 MK which is in agreement with the temperature determined seismologically in Marsh et al. (2009), using observations interpreted as the slow magnetoacoustic mode. The results further strengthen the slow mode interpretation, propagation at a uniform sound speed, and the analysis method applied in Marsh et al. (2009). It is found that it is not possible to discriminate between the slow mode phase speed and the sound speed within the precision of the present observations.

In vorliegendem Entwurf zum Aufsatz "J.M. Keynes: Society and the Economist" wird sowohl die Grundidee der Keyneschen Theorie (samt ihren Schwächen) erläutert, als auch ihre Entstehung und die Rezeption besprochen. Einen weiteren Schwerpunkt bildet die Analyse der Wirtschaftspolitik der Nachkriegsjahre, insbesondere im Bezug auf die Vollbeschäftigung, Lohnpolitik, Inflation, öffentliche Ausgaben, Wirtschaftsbeziehungen und die Zahlungsbilanz. Es wird auch der Frage nachgegangen, ob und wie keynesianische Politik angewendet wurde vor dem Hintergrund der stetig aufkommenden neoklassischen Theorie. Die "Niederlage" der Keyneschen Lehre war nicht eine Frage des Versagens seiner Theorie sondern eine Frage der Macht. Die "Niederlage" spiegelt sich in der gegenwärtigen Wirtschaftssituation wider, in der es keine erkennbare internationale Wirtschaftsordnung gibt, sondern vielmehr willkürliche Bewegungen des Kapitals und der Wechselkurse, Abhängigkeiten der Länder von den Zinsinteressen der Wallstreet, sowie Gründung des "Kartenhauses" Euromarkt, jenseits nationaler oder internationaler Kontrollmechanismen.

Semantic Clustering based Deduction Learning for Image Recognition and Classification

description: The paper proposes a semantic clustering based deduction learning by mimicking the learning and thinking process of human brains. Human beings can make judgments based on experience and cognition, and as a result, no one would recognize an unknown animal as a car. Inspired by this observation, we propose to train deep learning models using the clustering prior that can guide the models to learn with the ability of semantic deducing and summarizing from classification attributes, such as a cat belonging to animals while a car pertaining to vehicles. %Specifically, if an image is labeled as a cat, then the model is trained to learn that "this image is totally not any random class that is the outlier of animal". The proposed approach realizes the high-level clustering in the semantic space, enabling the model to deduce the relations among various classes during the learning process. In addition, the paper introduces a semantic prior based random search for the opposite labels to ensure the smooth distribution of the clustering and the robustness of the classifiers. The proposed approach is supported theoretically and empirically through extensive experiments. We compare the performance across state-of-the-art classifiers on popular benchmarks, and the generalization ability is verified by adding noisy labeling to the datasets. Experimental results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed approach.

description: Microplastics (MPs; 20 μm to 5 mm in diameter) are ubiquitous pollutants in marine environments. A major source of MPs is anthropogenic, plastic-littered effluent draining into coastal waters worldwide including here in southern California. The Southern California Bight (SCB) is inhabited by subpopulations of Pacific sardines, Sardinops sagax, a commercially and ecologically important fish. Pacific sardines filter-feed on zooplankton whose body size falls within the same size range as marine MPs and therefore are vulnerable to ingestion. The goals of this study were to: 1) determine whether sardines were ingesting MPs and if so, 2) determine whether the ingested MPs were then assimilated into body tissues. MPs were chemically extracted from 30 sardine stomachs, livers, and axial muscle tissues. We used fluorescent microscopy combined with Nile Red staining to quantify and measure the Feret’s diameter of extracted MPs using MP-VAT software. We found that the average (± SD) micro-particle size of ingested MPs was 183 ± 428 µm, whereas assimilated MPs in the muscle tissue were 31 ± 10 µm and 325 ± 439 µm in the liver. Muscle filets had an average (± SD) MP weight (mg) per muscle tissue wet weight (g) of 13.2 ± 4.77 mg g-1, 44 times higher than other Sardinops sp. measured.  Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy analyses showed that the dominant MPs in muscle tissues were polytetrafluoroethylene (fishing line), low-density polyethylene (LDPE; plastics bags), rayon (R; clothing), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC; irrigation pipe). This study demonstrates that wild-caught S. sagax from the SCB do regularly ingest and assimilate microplastics into muscle and liver tissues. The research offers empirical evidence of microplastic ingestion by S. sagax along the Southern California coast, revealing elevated levels of MP contamination compared to similar studies.

description: Metabolic pathways describe chains of enzymatic reactions. Their modelling is a key point to understand living systems. An enzymatic reaction is an interaction between one or several metabolites (substrates) and an enzyme (simple protein or enzymatic complex build of several subunits). In our Mitochondria in Silico Project, MitoScop, we study the metabolism of the mitochondria, an intra-cellular organelle. Many ordinary differential equation models are available in the literature. They well fit experimental results on flux values inside the metabolic pathways, but many parameters are di$\pm$cult to transcribe with such models: localization of enzymes, rules about the reactions scheduler, etc Moreover, a model of a significant part of mitochondrial metabolism could become very complex and contain more than 50 equations. In this context, the multi-agents systems appear as an alternative to model the metabolic pathways. Firstly, we have looked after membrane design. The mitochondria is a particular case because the inner mitochondrial space, ie matricial space, is delimited by two membranes: the inner and the outer one. In addition to matricial enzymes, other enzymes are located inside the membranes or in the inter-membrane space. Analysis of mitochondrial metabolism must take into account this kind of architecture.

description: Waves of misery is a phenomenon where spikes of many node splits occur over short periods of time in tree indexes. Waves of misery negatively affect the performance of tree indexes in insertion-heavy workloads.Waves of misery have been first observed in the context of the B-tree, where these waves cause unpredictable index performance. In particular, the performance of search and index-update operations deteriorate when a wave of misery takes place, but is more predictable between the waves. This paper investigates the presence or lack of waves of misery in several R-tree variants, and studies the extent of which these waves impact the performance of each variant. Interestingly, although having poorer query performance, the Linear and Quadratic R-trees are found to be more resilient to waves of misery than both the Hilbert and R*-trees. This paper presents several techniques to reduce the impact in performance of the waves of misery for the Hilbert and R*-trees. One way to eliminate waves of misery is to force node splits to take place at regular times before nodes become full to achieve deterministic performance. The other way is that upon splitting a node, do not split it evenly but rather at different node utilization factors. This allows leaf nodes not to fill at the same pace. We study the impact of two new techniques to mitigate waves of misery after the tree index has been constructed, namely Regular Elective Splits (RES, for short) and Unequal Random Splits (URS, for short). Our experimental investigation highlights the trade-offs in performance of the introduced techniques and the pros and cons of each technique.

description: This paper deals with generating of an optimized route for multiple Vehicle routing Problems (mVRP). We used a methodology of clustering the given cities depending upon the number of vehicles and each cluster is allotted to a vehicle. k- Means clustering algorithm has been used for easy clustering of the cities. In this way the mVRP has been converted into VRP which is simple in computation compared to mVRP. After clustering, an optimized route is generated for each vehicle in its allotted cluster. Once the clustering had been done and after the cities were allocated to the various vehicles, each cluster/tour was taken as an individual Vehicle Routing problem and the steps of Genetic Algorithm were applied to the cluster and iterated to obtain the most optimal value of the distance after convergence takes place. After the application of the various heuristic techniques, it was found that the Genetic algorithm gave a better result and a more optimal tour for mVRPs in short computational time than other Algorithms due to the extensive search and constructive nature of the algorithm.

description: Augmented Reality (AR) embeds digital information into objects of the physical world. Data can be shown in-situ, thereby enabling real-time visual comparisons and object search in real-life user tasks, such as comparing products and looking up scores in a sports game. While there have been studies on designing AR interfaces for situated information retrieval, there has only been limited research on AR object labeling for visual search tasks in the spatial environment. In this paper, we identify and categorize different design aspects in AR label design and report on a formal user study on labels for out-of-view objects to support visual search tasks in AR. We design three visualization techniques for out-of-view object labeling in AR, which respectively encode the relative physical position (height-encoded), the rotational direction (angle-encoded), and the label values (value-encoded) of the objects. We further implement two traditional in-view object labeling techniques, where labels are placed either next to the respective objects (situated) or at the edge of the AR FoV (boundary). We evaluate these five different label conditions in three visual search tasks for static objects. Our study shows that out-of-view object labels are beneficial when searching for objects outside the FoV, spatial orientation, and when comparing multiple spatially sparse objects. Angle-encoded labels with directional cues of the surrounding objects have the overall best performance with the highest user satisfaction. We discuss the implications of our findings for future immersive AR interface design.

description: Canonical transformation in a three-dimensional phase space endowed with Nambu bracket is discussed in a general framework. Definition of the canonical transformations is constructed as based on canonoid transformations. It is shown that generating functions, transformed Hamilton functions and the transformation itself for given generating functions can be determined by solving Pfaffian differential equations corresponding to that quantities. Types of the generating functions are introduced and all of them is listed. Infinitesimal canonical transformations are also discussed. Finally, we show that decomposition of canonical transformations is also possible in three-dimensional phase space as in the usual two-dimensional one.

description: Abstract – The monocrystalline photovoltaic (PV) is integrating into the natural clay used to fabric the terracotta rooftile. The enlargement of the rooftile's dimension increased the power output of the PVs as the artificial intelligent (AI) used to optimize the size and design of the area of PV as roofs. This paper objective to maximize the use of rooftile PV as the technology of building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) development and its integration to buildings and houses, especially by using artificial intelligent (AI) using fuzzy logic method while composing and designing the terracotta rooftile PV and sizing it. The examination of property’s parameter namely dimensions of the terracotta rooftile PVs coverup the area of the top of the house, the voltage, current, power, and efficiency of the PVs themselves were also considered. As the examination run, we also compare the results to the convenient mounted rooftop PV. The results showed that the output power of the PV reached its maximum power as the dimension of the terracotta rooftile PVs enlarge to fully cover the roof.

description: The dependency tree of a natural language sentence can capture the interactions between semantics and words. However, it is unclear whether those methods which exploit such dependency information for semantic parsing can be combined to achieve further improvement and the relationship of those methods when they combine. In this paper, we examine three methods to incorporate such dependency information in a Transformer based semantic parser and empirically study their combinations. We first replace standard self-attention heads in the encoder with parent-scaled self-attention (PASCAL) heads, i.e., the ones that can attend to the dependency parent of each token. Then we concatenate syntax-aware word representations (SAWRs), i.e., the intermediate hidden representations of a neural dependency parser, with ordinary word embedding to enhance the encoder. Later, we insert the constituent attention (CA) module to the encoder, which adds an extra constraint to attention heads that can better capture the inherent dependency structure of input sentences. Transductive ensemble learning (TEL) is used for model aggregation, and an ablation study is conducted to show the contribution of each method. Our experiments show that CA is complementary to PASCAL or SAWRs, and PASCAL + CA provides state-of-the-art performance among neural approaches on ATIS, GEO, and JOBS.

description: We present the application of a new jet reconstruction algorithm that uses a Gaussian filter to locate and reconstruct the jet energy to p+p and heavy ion data from the PHENIX detector. This algorithm is combined with a fake jet rejection scheme that provides efficient jet reconstruction with an acceptable fake rate. We show our first results on the measured jet spectra, jet--jet angular correlation in p+p and Cu+Cu collisions.

description: As science technology grows, medical application is becoming more complex to solve the physiological problems within expected time. Workflow management systems (WMS) in Grid computing are promising solution to solve the sophisticated problem such as genomic analysis, drug discovery, disease identification, etc. Although existing WMS can provide basic management functionality in Grid environment, consideration of user requirements such as performance, reliability and interaction with user is missing. In this paper, we propose hybrid workflow management system for heart disease identification and discuss how to guarantee different user requirements according to user SLA. The proposed system is applied to Physio-Grid e-health platform to identify human heart disease with ECG analysis and Virtual Heart Simulation (VHS) workflow applications.

A communication infrastructure to support knowledge level agents on the web

description: Agent Communication Languages (ACLs) have been developed to provide a way for agents to communicate with each other supporting cooperation in Multi-Agent Systems. In the past few years many ACLs have been proposed for Multi-Agent Systems, such as KQML and FIPA-ACL. The goal of these languages is to support high-level, human like communication among agents, exploiting Knowledge Level features rather than symbol level ones. Adopting these ACLs, and mainly the FIPA-ACL specifications, many agent platforms and prototypes have been developed. Despite these efforts, an important issue in the research on ACLs is still open and concerns how these languages should deal (at the Knowledge Level) with possible failures of agents. Indeed, the notion of Knowledge Level cannot be straightforwardly extended to a distributed framework such as MASs, because problems concerning communication and concurrency may arise when several Knowledge Level agents interact (for example deadlock or starvation). The main contribution of this Thesis is the design and the implementation of NOWHERE, a platform to support Knowledge Level Agents on the Web. NOWHERE exploits an advanced Agent Communication Language, FT-ACL, which provides high-level fault-tolerant communication primitives and satisfies a set of well defined Knowledge Level programming requirements. NOWHERE is well integrated with current technologies, for example providing full integration
for Web services. Supporting different middleware used to send messages, it can be adapted to various scenarios. In this Thesis we present the design and the implementation of the architecture, together with a discussion of the most interesting details and a comparison with other emerging
agent platforms. We also present several case studies where we discuss the benefits of programming agents using the NOWHERE architecture, comparing the results with other solutions. Finally, the complete source code of the basic examples can be found in appendix.

title: Policy Implications of Surplus Approach
Creators: name: Steindl, Josef
Year: 2017

description: In contrast to neo-classics the surplus approach leaves the field open for considerations of socio-political and institutional factors. From the point of view of economic policy the personal distribution of income is today at least as much relevant as the surplus. Kalecki's gross profit bears close relation to the classical surplus. In Steindl's view the surplus arises from the fact that the possession of capital conveys advantages not open to those who do not own it.
