PWLS-ULTRA: An Efficient Clustering and Learning-Based Approach for Low-Dose 3D CT Image Reconstruction

description: The development of computed tomography (CT) image reconstruction methods that significantly reduce patient radiation exposure while maintaining high image quality is an important area of research in low-dose CT (LDCT) imaging. We propose a new penalized weighted least squares (PWLS) reconstruction method that exploits regularization based on an efficient Union of Learned TRAnsforms (PWLS-ULTRA). The union of square transforms is pre-learned from numerous image patches extracted from a dataset of CT images or volumes. The proposed PWLS-based cost function is optimized by alternating between a CT image reconstruction step, and a sparse coding and clustering step. The CT image reconstruction step is accelerated by a relaxed linearized augmented Lagrangian method with ordered-subsets that reduces the number of forward and back projections. Simulations with 2-D and 3-D axial CT scans of the extended cardiac-torso phantom and 3D helical chest and abdomen scans show that for both normal-dose and low-dose levels, the proposed method significantly improves the quality of reconstructed images compared to PWLS reconstruction with a nonadaptive edge-preserving regularizer (PWLS-EP). PWLS with regularization based on a union of learned transforms leads to better image reconstructions than using a single learned square transform. We also incorporate patch-based weights in PWLS-ULTRA that enhance image quality and help improve image resolution uniformity. The proposed approach achieves comparable or better image quality compared to learned overcomplete synthesis dictionaries, but importantly, is much faster (computationally more efficient).

description: We consider the grand canonical thermodynamics of a noninteracting scalar field in a static spacetime. We take the nonrelativistic limit of thermodynamic quantities in a way that leaves the curved structure of the background geometry intact. Using Mellin transform and heat kernel techniques we obtain asymptotic expansions of thermodynamic quantities appropriate for the analysis of Bose-Einstein condensation. We apply our results to investigate gravitational effects on the Bose-Einstein condensation for a scalar field in a finite volume. We also analyze the boundary effects on the depletion coefficient of the scalar field.

title: Hip-belt load sharing reduces peak shoulder pressure across walking slopes during heavy load carriage
Creators: name: Inge, Madeline M.
Publisher: name: Colorado School of Mines Repository
Year: 2023

description: Musculoskeletal injury to the spine and lower back resulting from heavy load carriage (30‚Äì40 kg) is common among military service members. Static peak pressure is a reliable parameter for predicting discomfort. The effect of using a hip belt on shoulder pressure is not well understood. This study aimed to quantify the pressure under shoulder straps when carrying a backpack with and without a hip belt. Three military service members wore a helmet and body armor (~6.5kg) and carried a backpack in two attachment conditions: (1) entirely shoulder borne, and (2) with a hip-belt engaged, all totaling 40% body weight. Participants walked at three different slope conditions (10¬∞ downhill, level, and 10¬∞ uphill) at 1.15 m/s for each backpack condition. Peak pressure across both shoulders was extracted from each condition. Shoulder borne peak pressure (down: 36.33 kPa; level: 37.67 kPa; up: 36.67 kPa) was greater than the hip belt (down: 29.67 kPa; level: 24.67 kPa; up: 29.67 kPa). Walking with the hip belt engaged compared with the shoulder borne-only backpack resulted in ~9 kPa smaller peak shoulder pressure on average across all three slopes, indicating that peak pressure is reduced when using a hip belt, although greater participant numbers are needed to confirm these results.

description: Recently, the existence of Dirac/Weyl cones in three dimensional systems has been demonstrated experimentally. While in high energy physics the isotropy of the Dirac/Weyl cones is guaranteed by relativistic invariance, in condensed matter systems corrections to this can occur, one possible type being a tilt. In this paper we study the effect of of tilted Weyl cones in collective effects. We study both the opticql conductivity as well as the polarization function. We also investigate the perturbative effect of long-range Coulomb interactions using a renormalization group calculation. We find that the tilt is perturbatively renormalized towards zero and at low energies the system flows to an effectively untilted theory.

description: The fluctuation-dissipation theorem (FDT) is a central result in statistical physics, both for classical and quantum systems. It establishes a relationship between the linear response of a system under a time-dependent perturbation and time correlations of certain observables in equilibrium. Here we derive a generalization of the theorem which can be applied to any Markov quantum system and makes use of the symmetric logarithmic derivative (SLD). There are several important benefits from our approach. First, such a formulation clarifies the relation between classical and quantum versions of the equilibrium FDT. Second, and more important, it facilitates the extension of the FDT to arbitrary quantum Markovian evolutions, as given by quantum maps. Third, it brings out the full connection between the FDT and the Quantum Fisher information, the figure of merit in quantum metrology.

description: We study a photonic analog of the chiral magnetic (vortical) effect. We discuss that the vector component of magnetoelectric tensors plays a role of "vector potential," and its rotation is understood as "magnetic field" of a light. Using the geometrical optics approximation, we show that "magnetic fields" cause an anomalous shift of a wave packet of a light through an interplay with the Berry curvature of photons. The mechanism is the same as that of the chiral magnetic (vortical) effect of a chiral fermion, so that we term the anomalous shift "chiral magnetic effect of a light." We further study the chiral magnetic effect of a light beyond geometric optics by directly solving the transmission problem of a wave packet at a surface of a magnetoelectric material. We show that the experimental signal of the chiral magnetic effect of a light is the nonvanishing of transverse displacements for the beam normally incident to a magnetoelectric material.

description: Statistical systems near a classical critical point have been intensively studied both from theoretical and experimental points of view. In particular, correlation functions are of relevance in comparing theoretical models with the experimental data of real systems. In order to compute physical quantities near a critical point one needs to know the model at the critical (conformal) point. In this line, recent progresses in the knowledge of conformal field theories, through the conformal bootstrap, give the hope to get some interesting results also outside of the critical point. In this note we will review and clarify how, starting from the knowledge of the critical correlators, one can calculate in a safe way their behavior outside the critical point. The approach illustrated requires the model to be just scale invariant at the critical point. We will clarify the method by applying it to different kind of perturbations of the $2D$ Ising model.

description: The discovery of fast radio bursts (FRBs) is one of the most intriguing radio astronomical discoveries of our time. FRBs are short (faster than the blink of an eye) and energetic (as much energy in a few milliseconds as the Sun outputs in a day) radio flashes originating from outside our Milky Way galaxy. The nature of FRBs remains elusive, but causality arguments based on the short duration of these bursts imply a compact origin. Furthermore, a detection of FRB-like emission from the Galactic magnetar SGR 1935+2154 hints towards a neutron star origin. From the handful of FRBs that have been localized to a host galaxy, two published cases have been associated with compact, persistent radio sources (PRSs). Both display a characteristic broadband synchrotron spectrum and both dwarf galaxies (containing less than about three billion solar masses), sharing similarities with intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH, 100 to 100,000 solar masses) candidates. To further our understanding of the role of PRSs in the lifecycle of FRBs, and potentially black hole growth, it is crucial to discover more of them.

description: This is an exploratory study aiming to describe factors associated with deliberate self-harm (DSH) before suicide in patients with and without a substance use disorder (SUD) the last year before suicide.

The study uses data from the Norwegian Surveillance System for Suicide in Mental Health and SUD services, which consists of a register linkage between the Norwegian Cause of Death Registry and the Norwegian Patient Registry containing all individuals who died by suicide within one year after contact with mental health or SUD services. This linkage is then supplemented with a clinical survey containing suicide-specific questions.

We will use descriptive statistics to describe differences between patients with and without DSH stratified by whether an SUD was recorded within the last year or not. P values will be adjusted for multiple testing using the Holm procedure. Associations between DSH, SUD, and explanatory factors will be modeled with bi- and multivariate logistic regression.

This registration has been conducted prior to the analysis of data.

In particular, we derive analytic expressions for (i) charge occupancy of the QD, (ii) amplitude of the induced electron pairing, and (iii) the transient currents under equilibrium and nonequilibrium conditions. We also investigate the correlation effects within the Hartree-Fock-Bogolubov approximation, revealing a competition between the Coulomb interactions and electron pairing.

“Blue Revolution”: The Adoption and Abandonment of Two Fisheries Technologies in Ningde, Fujian, 1953-1961
Creators: name: Wu, Xiaomian
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2022

description: The thesis examines two fisheries technologies—the qiaogu method (敲罟法) and kelp raft cultivation (海带筏式养殖)— that were pervasively adopted and then quickly abandoned during the collectivization era in socialist China. Through a focus on the transfer, adoption, and subsequent abandonment of these technologies, as well as their ecological and social impacts, this thesis presents three arguments. First, a key problem that the state identified during the collectivization campaign was how to scale up production and organize rural populations into collectives. Therefore, agricultural technological change in socialist China was driven by the state’s dual goal of simultaneously maximizing production and revolutionizing rural society. As a result, the state—intentionally or unintentionally—selected technologies that favored collective work, which reinforced collectivization campaigns by involving many people working together. Second, the state was not a monolith, and state-led schemes were incoherent to a certain extent. Since different levels of government might have different goals, they perceived certain technologies differently, thereby complicating state-led technology transfer programs. Some of the frontline officials ignored state requests, while others incorporated their own needs into the programs. The role the frontline officials play in the politics of technology deserves attention since the common person rarely encounters the state on a daily basis. Instead, they encounter the agents of the state, frontline officials, who implement the planners' visions on a day-to-day basis. Thirdly, although the state held ultimate power over the adoption of certain technologies, rural populations (including fishers) were not passive recipients—materially or ideologically. Some may change or even refuse technologies introduced by the state, while others may insist on using technologies banned by the state. In doing so, they partially rejected the ideological information that the state intended to convey to them through the use of those technologies, even though they often did so for their own survival.

Classical Spacetimes as Amplified Information in Holographic Quantum Theories

description: We argue that classical spacetimes represent amplified information in the holographic theory of quantum gravity. In general, classicalization of a quantum system involves amplification of information at the cost of exponentially reducing the number of observables. In quantum gravity, the geometry of spacetime must be the analogously amplified information. Bulk local semiclassical operators probe this information without disturbing it; these correspond to logical operators acting on code subspaces of the holographic theory. From this viewpoint, we study how bulk local operators may be realized in a holographic theory of general spacetimes, which includes AdS/CFT as a special case, and deduce its consequences. In the first half of the paper, we ask what description of the bulk physics is provided by a holographic state dual to a semiclassical spacetime. In particular, we analyze what portion of the bulk can be reconstructed as spacetime in the holographic theory. The analysis indicates that when a spacetime contains a quasi-static black hole inside a holographic screen, the theory provides a description of physics as viewed from the exterior (though the interior information is not absent). In the second half, we study how and when a semiclassical description emerges in the holographic theory. We find that states representing semiclassical spacetimes are non-generic in the holographic Hilbert space. If there are a maximal number of independent microstates, semiclassical operators must be given state-dependently; we elucidate this point using the stabilizer formalism and tensor network models. We also discuss possible implications of the present picture for the black hole interior.

Parametrized-4.5PN TaylorF2 approximant(s) and tail effects to quartic nonlinear order from the effective one body formalism

Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: By post-Newtonian (PN) expanding the well-known, factorized and resummed, effective-one-body energy flux for circularized binaries we show that: (i) because of the presence of the resummed tail factor, the 4.5PN-accurate tails-of-tails-of-tails contribution to the energy flux recently computed by Marchand et al. [Class. Q. Grav. 33 (2016) 244003] is actually contained in the resummed expression; this is also the case of the the next-to-leading-order tail-induced spin-orbit term of Marsat et al. [Class. Q. Grav. 31 (2014) 025023]; (ii) in performing this expansion, we also obtain, for the first time, the explicit 3.5PN leading-order tail-induced spin-spin flux term; (iii) pushing the PN expansion of the (nonspinning) EOB flux up to 5.5PN order, we compute 4PN, 5PN and 5.5PN contributions to the energy flux, though in a form that explicitly depends on, currently unknown, 4PN and 5PN non-test-mass corrections to the factorized waveform amplitudes. Within this (parametrized) 4.5PN accuracy, we calculate the TaylorF2 approximant. Focusing for simplicity on the nonspinning case and using the numerical-relativity calibrated IMRPhenomD waveform model as benchmark, we demonstrate that it is possible to reproduce the derivative of the IMRPhenomD phase (say up to the frequency of the Schwarzschild last-stable-orbit) by flexing only a 4PN "effective" waveform amplitude parameter. A preliminary analysis also illustrates that similar results can be obtained for the spin-aligned case provided only the leading-order spin-orbit and spin-spin terms are kept. Our findings suggest that this kind of, EOB-derived, (parametrized), higher-order, PN approximants may serve as promising tools to construct Inspiral-Merger-Ringdown phenomenological models or even to replace the standardly used 3.5PN-accurate TaylorF2 approximant in searches of small-mass binaries.
description: 11 pages, 3 figures. This version corrects an error in the 4PN term of the TaylorF2 parametrized approximant. The results are however qualitatively unchanged. Incorporates corrections appearing in the various errata published on Phys. Rev. D
Energy flux enhancement, intermittency and turbulence via Fourier triad phase dynamics in 1D Burgers equation

description: We present a theoretical and numerical study of Fourier space triad phase dynamics in one-dimensional stochastically forced Burgers equation at Reynolds number $\mathrm{Re} \approx 2.7 \times 10^4$. We demonstrate that Fourier triad phases over the inertial range display a collective behaviour characterised by intermittent periods of synchronisation and alignment, reminiscent of Kuramoto model (Kuramoto 1984) and directly related to collisions of shocks in physical space. These periods of synchronisation favour efficient energy fluxes across the inertial range towards small scales, resulting in strong bursts of dissipation and enhanced coherence of Fourier energy spectrum. The fast time scale of the onset of synchronisation relegates energy dynamics to a passive role: this is further examined using a reduced system with the Fourier amplitudes fixed in time -- a phase-only model. We show that intermittent triad phase dynamics persists without amplitude evolution and we broadly recover many of the characteristics of the full Burgers system. In addition, for both full Burgers and phase-only systems the physical space velocity statistics reveals that triad phase alignment is directly related to the non-Gaussian statistics typically associated with structure-function intermittency in turbulent systems.

We first show that the anomalous second-order photocurrent of WSMs can be elegantly parametrized in terms of Weyl-Berry dipole and quadrupole moments. We then calculate the corresponding charge and node conductivities of WSMs with either broken time-reversal invariance or inversion symmetry. In particular, we predict a universal dissipationless second-order anomalous node conductivity for WSMs belonging to the TaAs family.

description: We study the degeneracy of the primordial spectrum and bispectrum of the curvature perturbation in single field inflationary models with a class of features in the inflaton potential. The feature we consider is a discontinuous change in the shape of the potential and is controlled by a couple of parameters that describe the strength of the discontinuity and the change in the potential shape. This feature produces oscillations of the spectrum and bispectrum around the comoving scale $k=k_0$ that exits the horizon when the inflaton passes the discontinuity. We find that the effects on the spectrum and almost all configurations of the bispectrum including the squeezed limit depend on a single quantity which is a function of the two parameters defining the feature. This leads to a degeneracy, i.e. different features of the inflaton potential can produce the same observational effects. However, we find that the degeneracy in the bispectrum is removed at the equilateral limit around $k=k_0$. This can be used to discriminate different models which give the same spectrum.

description: Recently, complex phase transitions accompanied by the rotational symmetry breaking have been discovered experimentally in cuprate superconductors. To find the realized order parameters, we study various charge susceptibilities in an unbiased way, by applying the functional-renormalization-group method to the realistic $d$-$p$ Hubbard model. Without assuming the wavevector of the order parameter, we reveal that the most dominant instability is the uniform ($q = 0$) charge modulation on the $p_x$ and $p_y$ orbitals, which possesses the d-symmetry. This uniform nematic order triggers another nematic p-orbital density wave along the axial (Cu-Cu) direction at $Q_a = (π/2,0)$. It is predicted that uniform nematic order is driven by the spin fluctuations in the pseudogap region, and another nematic density-wave order at $q = Q_a$ is triggered by the uniform order. The predicted multistage nematic transitions are caused by the Aslamazov-Larkin-type fluctuation-exchange processes.

description: George Frederic Handel had links with Leicestershire through the very wealthy writer and patron of music and literature Charles Jennens of Gopsall Hall, who, amongst other things wrote and prepared the texts for Messiah and several other important Handel works, and created the most comprehensive library of Handel scores and manuscripts. Between 1759 and 1774 the Leicester printer John Gregory, the founder and publisher of the Leicester Journal, printed and sold full texts of the libretti of four Handel oratorios: Messiah (ca. 1759), Judas Maccabaeus and Esther (both 1761) and Jephtha (1774). All were produced for specific Leicestershire performances of the works. The first three were part of the Church Langton 'Music Meetings' of William Hanbury, which included the first known church performance of Messiah in 1959. The fourth was printed for the 1774 Anniversary festival of the Leicester Infirmary. organised and funded by Joseph Cradock, one of Gregory's fellow Governors of the Infirmary, and brought together many of the leading interpreters and scholars of Handel, creating what was widely regarded as the most important musical event ever held in Leicester.

description: The $Λ_c(2590) Σ_c$ system can exchange a pion near the mass-shell. Owing to the opposite intrinsic parity of the $Λ_c(2590)$ and $Σ_c$, the pion is exchanged in S-wave. This gives rise to a Coulomb-like force that might be able to bind the system. If one takes into account that the pion is not exactly on the mass shell, there is a shallow S-wave state, which we generically call the $Y_{cc}(5045)$ and $Y_{c\bar c}(5045)$ for the $Λ_c(2590) Σ_c$ and $Λ_c(2590) \barΣ_c$ systems respectively. For the baryon-antibaryon case this Coulomb-like force is independent of spin: the $Y_{c\bar c}(5045)$ baryonia will appear either in the spin $S=0$ or $S=1$ configurations with G-parities $G=(-1)^{L+S+1}$. For the baryon-baryon case the Coulomb-like force is attractive in the spin $S=0$ configuration, for which a doubly charmed molecule is expected to form near the threshold. This type of spectrum might be very well realized in other molecular states composed of two opposite parity hadrons with the same spin and a mass difference close to that of a pseudo-Goldstone boson, of which a few examples include the $Λ(1405) N$, $Λ(1520) Σ^*$, $Ξ(1690) Σ$, $D_{s0}^*(2317) D$ and $D_{s1}^*(2460) D^*$ molecules.

description: We present an improved search for binary compact-object mergers using a network of ground-based gravitational-wave detectors. We model a volumetric, isotropic source population and incorporate the resulting distribution over signal amplitude, time delay, and coalescence phase into the ranking of candidate events. We describe an improved modeling of the background distribution, and demonstrate incorporating a prior model of the binary mass distribution in the ranking of candidate events. We find a $\sim 10\%$ and $\sim 20\%$ increase in detection volume for simulated binary neutron star and neutron star--binary black hole systems, respectively, corresponding to a reduction of the false alarm rates assigned to signals by between one and two orders of magnitude.

A Leicestershire Source for Group XX
Creators: name: Bradley, Philippa J
Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service
Year: 2023

description: Transactions of the Leicestershire Archaeological and Historical Society, 63, 1-6
description: Group XX was first defined by F.W. Shotton (1959, 141) and at present accounts for 2.7% of all sectioned implements from this country (Clough 1988, S); therefore the group is of some importance. Axes predominate in Group XX, although a variety of perforated forms, some adzes and one wedge are known (see Table 1). Axes vary from being well formed and finished to cruder examples. However, Clough and Green (1972, 123) noted that Group XX axes appeared to have been produced in a distinct form, the 'Type A', which may perhaps be seen as a characteristic product of the Group. The Type A was produced in two sizes, 19-23cm and 11-Bcm long; implying that there was some degree of organisation in the production of Group XX.
Here Was an Ancient Castle': A Time Team Evaluation at Groby Old Hall, Leicestershire

description: An archaeological evaluation, undertaken on land at Groby Old Hall, Groby, Leicestershire, demonstrated a complex sequence of medieval buildings. The initial focus was the defensive motte, keep and bailey ditch, reportedly constructed in the late eleventh century and slighted in the late twelfth century. Evidence was found for the construction of the keep, and a section was excavated across what is likely to have been the bailey ditch. By the fourteenth century (or possibly the thirteenth century) occupation had shifted to the south-west, where a number of buildings were arranged around a courtyard, with structural evidence from the evaluation trenches suggesting at least two phases of construction. These buildings were probably dismantled in the late fifteenth or early sixteenth century when a new brick manor house, Groby Old Hall, was built to the south-west.

description: 2D electron gases (2DEGs) formed at oxide interfaces provide a rich testbed for fundamental physics and device applications. While the discussion of the physical origins of this phenomenon continues, the recent discovery of oxide 2DEGs at non-epitaxial interfaces between amorphous and crystalline oxides provides useful insight onto this debate. Furthermore, using amorphous oxides offers a low-cost route towards realizing 2DEGs for device applications. In this work, the band offsets of a simple model system of amorphous-crystalline oxide interface are investigated. The model system consists of amorphous $Al_2O_3$ grown on single-crystalline (001) $SrTiO_3$. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy is employed to study the chemical states, band gap and band offsets at the interface. The density of ionic defects near the interface is found to be below the detection limit, and the interface is found to be insulating. Analysis of the relative band structure yields significant interfacial barriers, exceeding 1.05 eV for holes and 2.0 eV for electrons. The barrier for holes is considerably larger than what is known for related materials systems, outlining the promise of using amorphous $Al_2O_3$ as an effective and simple insulator, an important building block for oxide-based field effect devices.
