A Corpus-Driven Study of Terms Used to Refer to Articles and Methods in Research Abstracts
Creators: name: Riyad F Hussein, Ahmad S Haider, Sa'ida Al-Sayyed
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024
Subjects: Research abstracts, Terminologies, Frequency, AntConc, Academic Disciplines, Corpus

description: The present study attempts to identify the most frequent terms that are used in research abstracts relating to research articles designations, research methods, and research goals and quantify them in various disciplines, namely, economics, education, English literature, nursing, and political science to see whether there is a unique pattern characterizing terms peculiar of each of the five disciplines under investigation. It also explains why specific terms are overused/ underused by researchers. The current study follows a corpus-driven approach. For this purpose, we compiled a corpus of 2500 research abstracts from online refereed journals in the fields mentioned above. The corpus linguistic software program, AntConc (3.5.8), was used to analyze the collected data.The analysis revealed that some terms are more frequently used in some areas than others. For example, the term 'study' was the most common word to designate academic research. The most frequent term to refer to population and subject-related terms was 'sample/s,' while the least frequent was 'interviewee/s.' The words used to designate tools or instruments varied, with 'test' being the most frequent and 'checklist/s' the least. This study is of significant benefit for researchers in various disciplines. It acquaints them with terms used to designate articles in their respective fields, in addition to terms used most frequently to refer to sample- related terms and finally to words used for setting goals such as objectives, aims, and goals. This, in turn, can help researchers and graduate students embarking on writing their theses to opt for the most relevant terms peculiar of their disciplines.

description: This article presents the method of steganography detection, which is formed by replacing the least significant bit (LSB). Detection is performed by dividing the image into layers and making an analysis of zero-layer of adjacent bits for every bit. First-layer and second-layer are analyzed too. Hierarchies analysis method is used for making decision if current bit is changed. Weighting coefficients as part of the analytic hierarchy process are formed on the values of bits. Then a matrix of corrupted pixels is generated. Visualization of matrix with corrupted pixels allows to determine size, location and presence of the embedded message. Computer experiment was performed. Message was embedded in a bounded rectangular area of the image. This method demonstrated efficiency even at low filling container, less than 10\%. Widespread statistical methods are unable to detect this steganographic insert. The location and size of the embedded message can be determined with an error which is not exceeding to five pixels.
title: Hegel's critique of modern presupposition and Plato's aporetic moment. Masters thesis, Memorial University of Newfoundland.
Creators: name: Saad, George
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newofundland
Year: 2020

description: This thesis explores the implications of Hegel’s remark in §31 of Encyclopedia Logic that the Greeks thought freely while moderns are bound to presuppositions. Plato is today generally regarded as the originator of the a priori, yet Hegel’s reading of Plato exempts him from what he sees as a distinctly modern tendency towards presupposition. Hegel sees Platonic presuppositions as self-mediating and ultimately self-canceling in the flow of thought. Modern philosophy, by contrast, aims to establish an unshakable first principle external to and exempt from thoughtful reflection. This radical disjunction between Greek and modern philosophy can be best seen in Plato’s aporetic moment. Plato opted to allow the bewilderment of aporia at the same crucial juncture of thought where we moderns buttress our challenged definitions upon an a priori presupposition. This aporetic moment arises when thought, still stuck in its first moment of abstraction, realizes that it cannot rigorously define crucial philosophical concepts. In the aporia Plato exposes the pretensions of those who believe that the good can be defined. Hegel likewise critiques the overreach of the modern understanding (Verstand) in attempting to directly predicate the highest philosophical concepts. This thesis draws out each thinker’s descriptions of the circumstances and presuppositions surrounding the aporetic moment and closely correlates them, ultimately showing why Hegel regarded Greek thought as so radically misunderstood by his contemporaries. Looking at the movement of his thought and not its static conclusions, Hegel reads Plato as a dialectical antidote to the hubris of recurring modern sophistry.

Subjects: Applied Computer Science

description: Considering the need of a better, GUI based and effective high performance computing solution, we created the Grid called SCADY (Scalable & Dynamic). Lot of grids are available with different specifications like multithreading, dynamic resource allocation, scheduling etc. But we found that in all the available grids, whenever a resource fails, a new resource is allocated through dynamic allocation but the job restarts. In Scady, we implemented dynamic resource allocation through caching. To obtain the best performance, both grid system and application-specific information can be considered in implementing high performance problems that meets the desired Quality of Service (QoS) requirements. Authors have implemented grid scenarios to solve parallel application problems like Monte Carlo Simulation etc. Authors also implemented the same in Alchemi.net, Unicore and Globus grid environments and have obtained favorable experiment results for Scady. Scenarios were created in such a manner that dynamic resource allocation can be tested.This paper gives the performance as well as the comparative analysis of Scady with other grid environments like Alchemi.net, Unicore, and Globus in executing high performance parallel applications.

description: The peak of the spin glass relaxation rate, S(t)=d{-M_{TRM}(t,t_w)}/H/{d ln t}, is directly related to the typical value of the free energy barrier which can be explored over experimental time scales. A change in magnetic field H generates an energy E_z={N_s}{X_fc}{H^2} by which the barrier heights are reduced, where X_{fc} is the field cooled susceptibility per spin, and N_s is the number of correlated spins. The shift of the peak of S(t) gives E_z, generating the correlation length, Ksi(t,T), for Cu:Mn 6at.% and CdCr_{1.7}In_{0.3}S_4. Fits to power law dynamics, Ksi(t,T)\propto {t}^{α(T)} and activated dynamics Ksi(t,T) \propto {ln t}^{1/psi} compare well with simulation fits, but possess too small a prefactor for activated dynamics.

description: The asymmetric responses of the system between the external force of right and left directions are called "nonreciprocal". There are many examples of nonreciprocal responses such as the rectification by p-n junction. However, the quantum mechanical wave does not distinguish between the right and left directions as long as the time-reversal symmetry is intact, and it is a highly nontrivial issue how the nonreciprocal nature originates in quantum systems. Here we demonstrate by the quantum ratchet model, i.e., a quantum particle in an asymmetric periodic potential, that the dissipation characterized by a dimensionless coupling constant $α$ plays an essential role for nonlinear nonreciprocal response. The temperature ($T$) dependence of the second order nonlinear mobility $μ_2$ is found to be $μ_2 \sim T^{6/α-4 }$ for $α<1$, and $μ_2 \sim T^{2(α-1)}$ for $α>1$, respectively, where $α_c=1$ is the critical point of the localization-delocalization transition, i.e., Schmid transition. On the other hand, $μ_2$ shows the behavior $μ_2 \sim T^{-11/4}$ in the high temperature limit. Therefore, $μ_2$ shows the nonmonotonous temperature dependence corresponding to the classical-quantum crossover. The generic scaling form of the velocity $v$ as a function of the external field $F$ and temperature $T$ is also discussed. These findings are relevant to the heavy atoms in metals, resistive superconductors with vortices and Josephson junction system, and will pave a way to control the nonreciprocal responses.

Asymptotic expansions of two-loop Feynman diagrams in the Sudakov limit

description: Recently presented explicit formulae for asymptotic expansions of Feynman diagrams in the Sudakov limit are applied to typical two-loop diagrams. For a diagram with one non-zero mass these formulae provide an algorithm for analytical calculation of all powers and logarithms, i.e. coefficients in the corresponding expansion $(Q^2)^{-2} \sum_{n,j=0} c_{nj} t^{-n} \ln^j t$, with $t=Q^2/m^2$ and $j \leq 4$. Results for the coefficients at several first powers are presented. For a diagram with two non-zero masses, results for all the logarithms and the leading power, i.e. the coefficients $c_{nj}$ for n=0 and j=4,3,2,1,0 are obtained. A typical feature of these explicit formulae (written through a sum over a specific family of subgraphs of a given graph, similar to asymptotic expansions for off-shell limits of momenta and masses) is an interplay between ultraviolet, collinear and infrared divergences which represent themselves as poles in the parameter $\eps=(4-d)/2$ of dimensional regularization. In particular, in the case of the second diagram, which is free from the divergences, individual terms of the asymptotic expansion involve all the three kinds of divergences resulting in poles, up to $1/\eps^4$, which are successfully canceled in the sum.

description: Several kinds of spin density wave (SDW) states with both quarter-filled band and dimerization are reexamined for a one-dimensional system with on-site, nearest-neighbor and next-nearest-neighbor repulsive interactions, which has been investigated by Kobayashi et al. (J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 67 (1998) 1098). Within the mean-field theory, the ground state and the response to the density variation are calculated in terms of phase variables, $θ$ and $ϕ$, where $θ$ expresses the charge fluctuation of SDW and $ϕ$ describes the relative motion between density wave with up spin and that with down spin respectively. It is shown that the exotic state of coexistence of 2k_F-SDW and 2k_F-charge density wave (CDW) is followed by 4k_F-SDW but not by 4k_F-CDW where k_F denotes a Fermi wave vector. The harmonic potential with respect to the variation of $θ$ and/or $ϕ$ disappears for the interactions, which lead to the boundary between the pure 2k_F-SDW state and the corresponding coexistent state.

description: The validated method (MA039) used in France to detect Xylella fastidiosa in plant samples in the framework of regulated surveillance is based on a Real-Time PCR (Harper et al., 2010) applied on plant DNA extracted with the QuickPick SML kit (Bio-Nobile). The MLST (Multi Locus Sequence Typing) (Yuan et al., 2010, EPPO PM7/24) scheme is applied to identify the sequence types and the subspecies. Until now the bacterium X. fastidiosa subspecies multiplex was mostly detected on about forty plant species, mainly ornamental of the Mediterranean area. These methods were optimized to improve their sensitivity on plant matrices such as olive tree, oak and on the insect vector Philaenus spumarius. They should contribute to the revision of the EPPO protocol.

description: In a linear dilaton background, it has been argued that an unstable D-brane can decay to the tachyon vacuum without leaving behind a remnant of tachyon matter. Here we address the question of how the D-brane can decay to the tachyon vacuum when the tachyon vacuum does not support physical fluctuations. Using the formalism of open string field theory, we find that the tachyon vacuum {\it can} support fluctuations provided they are "hidden" as nonperturbative effects behind a pure gauge asymptotic series.

description: Now a days every industry needs more income withless investment behind infrastructure. Here, the new era of Cloud computing comes where the user can have everything on rent and “pay as go” fundamental. Cloud users are able to store their valuable data on Cloud premises and make themselves free from local burden. While users data is available on Cloud servers, it is very important for the user that data must be secure when it is in transition and even after it has been stored on server. Most of the researchers think for the user centric(side) scenario i.e mainly consider the security issue related to Cloud users like Integritychecking, Authentication, Versioning Etc. On the other hand,some researchers provide their view related to working of Cloud service providers i.e. Database encryption, Security based on Metadata, Data Obfuscation Etc. To have proper confidentiality, Security and integrity of data, this paper presents two techniques, that is: Encryption, authentication at client side as well as Data Obfuscation at server side. Encryption helps user to provide secrecy to its data when it is transferred in the network. Data obfuscation helps service provider to secure the users data on his premises. By applying these two techniques, the user and Service provider gets maximum protection against intruders and unauthorized access.

description: Nature has efficiently provided solutions to complex real world problems since millenniums. This has inspired researchers to develop algorithms based on phenomena in the natural world. Such algorithms are referred as natural computing algorithms. Having the ability to provide optimal solutions to the real world problems, researchers have developed a number of different natural computing algorithms and their variations in the last couple of years. Some of these algorithms are widely known such as Genetic Algorithms, Simulated Annealing, Ant Colony Optimization, Particle Swarm Optimization, Firefly Algorithm, etc. In contrast to these, other algorithms are not known that much such as Fish Swarm Algorithm, Social Cognitive Optimization, Plant Propagation Algorithm, Krill Herd, Grey Wolf Optimizer, etc. This paper attempts to provide readers a comprehensive summary of all the natural computing algorithms developed as early as in the 1970s to the recent ones.

description: Brownian motion of an array of harmonically coupled particles subject to a periodic substrate potential and driven by an external bias is investigated. In the linear response limit (small bias), the coupling between particles may enhance the diffusion process, depending on the competition between the harmonic chain and the substrate potential. An analytical formula of the diffusion rate for the single-particle case is also obtained. In the nonlinear response regime, the moving kink may become phase-locked to its radiated phonon waves, hence the mobility of the chain may decrease as one increases the external force.

Overview on Synchronization in OFDM Systems

Subjects: Applied Computer Science

description: Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) isa advance bandwidth efficient digital modulation technique highly adopted for the broadband wireless services because it gives high performance in the multipath fading environments. It is very robust against narrowband interference, but it is not totally free from drawbacks. There are timing and frequency synchronization error for which this technique is very sensitive. These errors are quite detrimental to the mutual orthogonality among thesubcarriers which is main condition of the OFDM technique. If it is not resolved properly, it creates inter-symbol interference (ISI) and inter-channel interference (ICI). ISI and ICI increase the Bit Error Rate (BER) and creates packet loss in the transmission. Means, OFDM System has no proper use without precise synchronization technique to assure reasonable system performance. This paperprovides an overview on the causes and the effects of thesesynchronization errors. It focuses on various symbol timing and carrier frequency acquisition schemes including coarse and fine synchronization techniques, using cyclic prefix or training symbols. It has also discussed the attention to implement different standards in the same wireless device using common frequency synchronization structure.

description: Since the discovery of Penicillin in 1928 by Sir Alexander Fleming, antibiotics have been one of the most important technologies in modern medicine. Due to the lack of novel innovative methods and the gross abuse of antibiotics both in human use and agriculture, we currently face an antibiotic resistance crisis. In the last fifty years only a handful of new class of antibiotics that target gram-positive bacteria have been introduced and, in that time, no new class of antibiotics that target gram-negative bacteria have been introduced. This thesis focuses on the molecular dynamic simulations involving the cationic α-helical antibacterial peptide, WLBU2-mod (RRWVRRVRRVWRRVVRVVRRWVRR), binding with a gram-negative bacterial inner membrane (IM) mimic composed of palmitoyloleoyl PE (POPE), palmitoyloleoyl PG (POPG), and 1,1’,2,2’-tetraoctadecenoyl CL (TOCL2) in a 7:2:1 ratio respectively. The structure of WLBU2-mod was predicted using Robetta to be either a single extended α-helical structure or a bent α-helical structure. Replica exchange with solute tempering with an improved Hamiltonian acceptance protocol (REST2) was performed on WLBU2-mod to relax the peptide to an unstructured conformation in an ii explicit aqueous solution. WLBU2-mod relaxed with REST2 consists of mainly random coil and β-sheet secondary structure which matches experimental circular dichroism (CD) results collected by Aria Salyapongse and Dr. Tristram-Nagle. Experimental CD results with the IM predicted the peptide to be structured with majority α-helical secondary structure, contrary to the unstructured results of the peptide in water. Both structured and unstructured WLBU2-mod were placed in parallel 10 Å above the IM mimic and molecular dynamics (MD) was performed to observe the binding mechanism. Simulations failed to see significant bilayer thinning or penetration into the hydrophobic core but there is strong indication that our simulations represent in intermediate state toward the final binding mechanism. In order to observe more substantial binding to the IM, future projects should consider increasing the length of the simulations and flipping the orientation of the peptide to have the hydrophobic components face inward toward the bilayer. Future projects in combination with the groundwork laid out here will hopefully provide insight into how antibacterial peptides can become the answer to the resistance crisis we face today.

description: We investigate the influence of the boundary conditions on the scale invariant critical level statistics at the metal insulator transition of disordered three-dimensional orthogonal and two-dimensional unitary and symplectic tight-binding models. The distribution of the spacings between consecutive eigenvalues is calculated numerically and shown to be different for periodic and Dirichlet boundary conditions whereas the critical disorder remains unchanged. The peculiar correlations of the corresponding critical eigenstates leading to anomalous diffusion seem not to be affected by the change of the boundary conditions.

Reductions to IID in Device-independent Quantum Information Processing
Creators: name: Arnon-Friedman, Rotem
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The field of device-independent (DI) quantum information processing concerns itself with devising and analysing protocols, such as quantum key distribution, without referring to the quality of the physical devices utilised to execute the protocols. Instead, the analysis is based on the observed correlations that arise during a repeated interaction with the devices and, in particular, their ability to violate the so called Bell inequalities. Since the analysis of DI protocols holds irrespectively of the underlying physical device, it implies that any device can be used to execute the protocols: If the apparatus is of poor quality, the users of the protocol will detect it and abort; otherwise, they will accomplish their goal. This strong statement comes at a price-- the analysis of DI protocols is, a priori, extremely challenging. The thesis presents an approach that can be taken to simplify the analysis of DI information processing protocols. The idea is the following: Instead of analysing the most general device leading to the observed correlations, one should first analyse a significantly simpler device that, in each interaction with the user, behaves in an identical way, independently of all other interactions. We call such a device an independently and identically distributed (IID) device. As the next step, special techniques are used to prove that, without loss of generality, the analysis of the IID device implies similar results for the most general device. These are termed reductions to IID. We present two mathematical techniques that can be used as reductions to IID in the DI setting, each accompanied by a showcase-application that exemplifies the reduction's usage and benefits. Performing the analysis via a reduction to IID leads to simpler proofs and significant quantitive improvements, matching the tight results proven when analysing IID devices.

description: There is increasing interest towards visualization of tissue level with deep penetration depth in bioscience and medical research, mesoscopic imaging exchanges resolution for penetration depth, which offers hundreds of micrometer resolution and up to several millimeter penetration depth. By introducing fluorescence dyes or with intrinsic fluorescence, much higher contrast of images can be recorded compared to reflection imaging. To assess the characteristics of fluorescence imaging system, in the first part of this thesis I will discuss 3D printing technique as a novel phantom fabrication method which enables the fabrication of optically realistic and morphologically complex tissue-simulating phantoms for the development and evaluation of optical imaging products. In the second part, I will discuss about the techniques and applications of Angled fluorescence laminar optical tomography (aFLOT), a modified fluorescence tomographic imaging technique based on 3D reconstructions. To extend the capability of aFLOT to acquire more bioinformation besides, its availability for quantification and statistics has been studied. Some technical improvements of aFLOT system performance has also been taken by incorporating algorithms for imaging processing. In addition, examples of biomedical applications have been discussed to demonstrate the capability of aFLOT system in both bioscience and medical research field.

Publisher: name: figshare

Subjects: Applied Computer Science

description: Demand for High Performance Applications has already grown in present scenario. Grid Computing and Cloudcomputing are the requirement of today and tomorrow. ManyUNIX based and command based Grids are already in use. But people generally prefer window based machines. Considering this situation, we created a Grid framework called SCADY (Scalable & Dynamic) which is based on Alchemi.Net Grid Framework. From the literature review and findings it has been observed that a better fault tolerance mechanism is needed in these grid frameworks to ensure execution efficiency.This paper proposes a caching algorithm for better faulttolerance in Scady Grid Framework. The proposed algorithmuses the cache write-through method in which at the same time the data is written into the cache block and the corresponding main memory location. The data cached can be retrieved very fast on demand, while it is ensured that nothing will get lost if a crash, power failure, or other system disruption occurs as the same data is in main memory. Write through method is the most preferred method for storing the data for the applications where data is critical and data loss cannot be tolerated.The algorithm is implemented and tested for efficiency. It is found that it gives comparatively better result.

description: Mixtures of cover crop species may be more effective than monocultures at internal nutrient cycling due to their ability to occupy different niches. Our study investigates nitrogen (N) cycling of radish (Raphanus sativus L.) and rye (Secale cereal L.) in monocultures and mixtures compared to a no cover crop control. The study was established on fine-textured soils near Laurel, MD where we estimated N leaching losses, quantified mineral soil N (to 60 cm), and cover crop biomass N for two years. Forage radish suppressed estimated N leaching in the fall, while cereal rye suppressed estimated N leaching in the spring. In this study, growing radish in a mixture with rye decreased the risk of N leaching losses and enhanced N cycling due to the difference in timing of N uptake and release. Our research indicates that grass-brassica mixtures are a flexible management tool for mitigating N leaching in the Mid-Atlantic.

description: Modeling and control of remotely operated underwater vehicles is a challenging problem that depends greatly on how the dynamics of their thrusters are compensated. In this thesis a novel method for characterizing thruster dynamics using a six-axis load cell is presented. Multiple dynamic models are characterized with this test setup. Model-based control design strategies are used to compensate for nonlinearities in the dynamics, which include input dead zones and coupling with fluid dynamics. Multiple estimation methods are presented to construct an estimate of fluid velocity which is handled as an unmeasured state. The different models, controllers, and estimators are comparatively evaluated in closed-loop experiments using the six-axis load cell to measure thrust tracking performance. Full vehicle simulations using the experimentally characterized models provide additional opportunities for comparison of control and estimation strategies. The potential tracking control benefits from the variety of presented thruster dynamics compensation strategies are evaluated for a remotely operated underwater vehicle with multiple thrusters.

description: The scaling of turbulent heat flux with respect to electrostatic potential is examined in the framework of a reduced ($4$D) kinetic system describing electrostatic turbulence in magnetized plasmas excited by the ion temperature gradient instability. Numerical simulations were instigated by, and tested the predictions of generic renormalized turbulence models like the $2$D fluid model for electrostatic turbulence [Y.~Z.~Zhang and S.~M.~Mahajan, Phys.~Fluids B 5 (7), pp.~2000 (1993)]. A fundamental, perhaps, universal result of this theory-simulation combination is the demonstration that there exist two distinct asymptotic states (that can be classified as Weak turbulence (WT) and Strong turbulence (ST) states) where the turbulent diffusivity $Q$ scales quite differently with the strength of turbulence measured by the electrostatic energy $\|ϕ\|^2$. In the case of WT $Q \propto \|ϕ\|^2$, while in ST $Q$ has a weaker dependence on the electrostatic energy and scales as $\|ϕ\|$.
