description: We measured Drude absorption of gated CVD graphene using far-infrared transmission spectroscopy, and determined carrier scattering rate (g) as function of the varied carrier density (n). The n-dependent g(n) was obtained for a series of conditions systematically changed as (10 K, vacuum) -> (300 K, vacuum) -> (300 K, ambient pressure), which reveals that (1) at low-T, charged impurity (=A/sqrt(n)) and short-range defect (=B*sqrt(n)) are the major scattering sources which constitute the total scattering g=A/sqrt(n)+B*sqrt(n), (2) among various kinds of phonons populated at room-T, surface polar phonon of the SiO2 substrate is the dominantly scattering source, (3) in air, the gas molecules adsorbed on graphene play a dual role in carrier scattering as charged impurity center and resonant scattering center. We present the absolute scattering strengths of those individual scattering sources, which provides the complete map of scattering mechanism of CVD graphene for the first time. This scattering map allows us find out practical measures to suppress the individual scatterings, the mobility gains accompanied by them, and finally the ultimate attainable carrier mobility for CVD graphene.

description: We study heat and charge transport through a normal diffusive wire coupled with a superconducting wire over the region smaller than the coherence length. Due to partial Andreev reflection of quasiparticles from the interface, the subgap thermal flow is essentially suppressed and approaches zero along with energy, which is specific for diffusive structures. Whereas the electric conductance shows conventional reentrance effect, the thermal conductance rapidly decreases with temperature which qualitatively explains the results of recent experiments. In the Andreev interferometer geometry, the thermal conductance experiences full-scale oscillations with the order parameter phase difference.

description: The QCD-string model for baryons derived by Simonov and used for the calculation of baryon magnetic moments in a previous paper is extended to include also perturbative gluon and meson exchanges. The mass spectrum of the baryon multiplet is studied. For the meson interaction either the pseudoscalar or pseudovector coupling is used. Predictions are compared with the experimental data. Besides these exchanges the influence of excited quark orbitals on the baryon ground state are considered by performing a multichannel calculation. The nucleon-Delta splitting increases due to the mixing of higher quark states while the baryon magnetic momenta decrease. The multichannel calculation with perturbative exchanges is shown to yield reasonable magnetic moments while the mass spectrum is close to experiment.

description: We calculate the vacuum averages of the energy-momentum tensor associated with a massless left-handed spinor fields due to magnetic fluxes on idealized cosmic string spacetime. In this analysis three distinct configurations of magnetic fields are considered: {\it{i)}} a homogeneous field inside the tube, {\it{ii)}} a magnetic field proportional to $1/r$ and {\it{iii)}} a cylindrical shell with $δ$-function. In these three cases the axis of the infinitely long tubes of radius $R$ coincides with the cosmic string. In order to proceed with these calculations we explicitly obtain the Euclidean Feynman propagators associated with these physical systems. As we shall see, these propagators possess two distinct parts. The first are the standard ones, i.e., corresponding to the spinor Green functions associated with the massless fermionic fields on the idealized cosmic string spacetime with a magnetic flux running through the line singularity. The second parts are new, they are due to the finite thickness of the radius of the tubes. As we shall see these extra parts provide relevant contributions to the vacuum averages of the energy-momentum tensor.

description: Neuroprosthesis, as one type of precision medicine device, is aiming for manipulating neuronal signals of the brain in a closed-loop fashion, together with receiving stimulus from the environment and controlling some part of our brain/body. In terms of vision, incoming information can be processed by the brain in millisecond interval. The retina computes visual scenes and then sends its output as neuronal spikes to the cortex for further computation. Therefore, the neuronal signal of interest for retinal neuroprosthesis is spike. Closed-loop computation in neuroprosthesis includes two stages: encoding stimulus to neuronal signal, and decoding it into stimulus. Here we review some of the recent progress about visual computation models that use spikes for analyzing natural scenes, including static images and dynamic movies. We hypothesize that for a better understanding of computational principles in the retina, one needs a hypercircuit view of the retina, in which different functional network motifs revealed in the cortex neuronal network should be taken into consideration for the retina. Different building blocks of the retina, including a diversity of cell types and synaptic connections, either chemical synapses or electrical synapses (gap junctions), make the retina an ideal neuronal network to adapt the computational techniques developed in artificial intelligence for modeling of encoding/decoding visual scenes. Altogether, one needs a systems approach of visual computation with spikes to advance the next generation of retinal neuroprosthesis as an artificial visual system.

description: The aim of the present dissertation was the presentation of Monk Synesios’s from Mountain Athos (Iviron Monastery) oeuvre. Synsios was a great musician, chanter, composer, old method transcriber and musical manuscript codex writer. Through studying the already published manuscripts’ catalogues – mainly those containing Mountain Athos’s codices – all cases of musical references registered to, or mentioning Monk Synesios were recorded, in correspondence to the original source. In addition, his oeuvre was carefully separated into compositions undoubtedly registered to Synesios and those of doubtfully registered to Synesios, through autopsy of manuscripts’ photographs, giving the full picture of his oeuvre, according to the up to now, known sources. In this dissertation, three original musical compositions of Synesios are published for the first time. These musical pieces have reached our era, via the hand of Nikolaos Dochiaritis, as he transcribed them into the New Method Byzantine Notation System.

description: The two-loop chiral measure for superstring theories compactified on $\bZ_2$ reflection orbifolds is constructed from first principles for even spin structures. This is achieved by a careful implementation of the chiral splitting procedure in the twisted sectors and the identification of a subtle worldsheet supersymmetric and supermoduli dependent shift in the Prym period. The construction is generalized to compactifications which involve more general NS backgrounds preserving worldsheet supersymmetry. The measures are unambiguous and independent of the gauge slice. Two applications are presented, both to superstring compactifications where 4 dimensions are $\bZ_2$-twisted and where the GSO projection involves a chiral summation over spin structures. The first is an orbifold by a single $\bZ_2$-twist; here, orbifolding reproduces a supersymmetric theory and it is shown that its cosmological constant indeed vanishes. The second model is of the type proposed by Kachru-Kumar-Silverstein and additionally imposes a $\bZ_2$-twist by the parity of worldsheet fermion number; it is shown here that the corresponding cosmological constant does not vanish pointwise on moduli space.

Entropy supplementary conservation law for non-linear systems of PDEs with non-conservative terms: application to the modelling and analysis of complex fluid flows using computer algebra

Year: 2019

description: In the present contribution, we investigate first-order nonlinear systems of partial differential equations which are constituted of two parts: a system of conservation laws and non-conservative first order terms. Whereas the theory of first-order systems of conservation laws is well established and the conditions for the existence of supplementary conservation laws, and more specifically of an entropy supplementary conservation law for smooth solutions, well known, there exists so far no general extension to obtain such supplementary conservation laws when non-conservative terms are present. We propose a framework in order to extend the existing theory and show that the presence of non-conservative terms somewhat complexifies the problem since numerous combinations of the conservative and non-conservative terms can lead to a supplementary conservation law. We then identify a restricted framework in order to design and analyze physical models of complex fluid flows by means of computer algebra and thus obtain the entire ensemble of possible combination of conservative and non-conservative terms with the objective of obtaining specifically an entropy supplementary conservation law. The theory as well as developed computer algebra tool are then applied to a Baer-Nunziato two-phase flow model and to a multicomponent plasma fluid model. The first one is a first-order fluid model, with non-conservative terms impacting on the linearly degenerate field and requires a closure since there is no way to derive interfacial quantities from averaging principles and we need guidance in order to close the pressure and velocity of the interface and the thermodynamics of the mixture. The second one involves first order terms for the heavy species coupled to second order terms for the electrons, the non-conservative terms impact the genuinely nonlinear fields and the model can be rigorously derived from kinetic theory. We show how the theory allows to recover the whole spectrum of closures obtained so far in the literature for the two-phase flow system as well as conditions when one aims at extending the thermodynamics and also applies to the plasma case, where we recover the usual entropy supplementary equation, thus assessing the effectiveness and scope of the proposed theory.

description: Effect of the phase fluctuations of the order parameter on the stability of the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) states are examined in exactly two-dimensional (2D) type-II superconductors with cylindrically symmetric Fermi surface on the basis of a generalized Ginzburg-Landau theory. It is found that for the FFLO states with oscillations in a single direction, not only the long-range order but also quasi-long-range order (QLRO), which is characterized by a power law decay of the order parameter correlation function, is suppressed by the phase fluctuations at any finite temperatures. On the other hand, for the FFLO states with order parameter structures such as triangular and square lattices, it is shown that the QLRO is possible as the uniform BCS state. Systems with anisotropy in the Fermi surface and pairing are also discussed.

Boosting Occluded Image Classification via Subspace Decomposition Based Estimation of Deep Features

description: Classification of partially occluded images is a highly challenging computer vision problem even for the cutting edge deep learning technologies. To achieve a robust image classification for occluded images, this paper proposes a novel scheme using subspace decomposition based estimation (SDBE). The proposed SDBE-based classification scheme first employs a base convolutional neural network to extract the deep feature vector (DFV) and then utilizes the SDBE to compute the DFV of the original occlusion-free image for classification. The SDBE is performed by projecting the DFV of the occluded image onto the linear span of a class dictionary (CD) along the linear span of an occlusion error dictionary (OED). The CD and OED are constructed respectively by concatenating the DFVs of a training set and the occlusion error vectors of an extra set of image pairs. Two implementations of the SDBE are studied in this paper: the $l_1$-norm and the squared $l_2$-norm regularized least-squares estimates. By employing the ResNet-152, pre-trained on the ILSVRC2012 training set, as the base network, the proposed SBDE-based classification scheme is extensively evaluated on the Caltech-101 and ILSVRC2012 datasets. Extensive experimental results demonstrate that the proposed SDBE-based scheme dramatically boosts the classification accuracy for occluded images, and achieves around $22.25\%$ increase in classification accuracy under $20\%$ occlusion on the ILSVRC2012 dataset.

The BIS78 Resistive Plate Chambers upgrade of the ATLAS Muon Spectrometer for the LHC Run-3

description: Resistive Plate Chambers are used in the ATLAS experiment for the muon trigger and two coordinate measurements in the central region. In preparation for the coming years of LHC running at higher luminosity, besides the New Small Wheel project which is expected to complement the ATLAS muon spectrometer in the endcap regions, a smaller size project, known as BIS78, is being developed with a foreseen installation during the LHC Long Shutdown 2. The BIS78 project will reinforce the fake muon rejection and the selectivity of the muon trigger in the transition region between the ATLAS barrel and end-caps by adding 32 RPC triplets on the edges of the Inner Barrel even sectors (BIS7 and BIS8) as this region is characterized by high rate due to secondary charged tracks generated by beam halo protons and a lack of detector instrumentation. Due to the narrow available space, the project foresees to replace the existing Monitored Drift Tubes, used for the precise position measurement in this area, with muon stations formed by integrated smaller diameter tubes and a new generation of RPCs, capable of withstanding the higher rates and provide a robust standalone muon confirmation. These new RPCs are based on novel design of the gas volume with a thinner gas gap and resistive electrodes, a lower operating voltage and new high gain front-end electronics with respect to the legacy RPCs. Besides the use in Run-3 and onwards, this project is also of particular relevance as a pilot test for the HL-LHC upgrade when an additional full layer of new RPC triplets is expected to complement the full barrel region in the innermost plane. The core of the project is presented, together with a description of the production and the test results. Details on the detector infrastructure and services along with a roadmap towards the final installation and commissioning during the Long Shutdown 2 are also discussed.

title: Investigation of the sequences and structural elements required for HIV-2 infectivity and genome dimerisation
Creators: name: L'Hernault, Anne
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2009

description: A unique feature of retroviruses is that two copies of the genomic RNA are packaged in each particle. The selective encapsidation of viral genomes is ensured by the binding of the Nucleocapsid to a specific motif on the RNA genome, the packaging signal (Psi). The Psi regions of many retroviruses overlap with sequences that promote the dimerisation of the genome, the dimerisation initiation site (DIS), and it has been suggested that the two mechanisms are closely linked. The aim of the research presented herein was to identify the sequences and structural elements required for the dimerisation of HIV-2 genomic RNA and to investigate the relationship between HIV-2 genome dimerisation and encapsidation, infectivity and particle morphogenesis. Mutations of two palindromic sequences, introduced in an infectious molecular clone of the HIV-2rod isolate, revealed that a palindrome within HIV-2 Psi was important for genome dimerisation. In contrast with previous studies, the palindrome termed DIS is not required for genome dimerisation and viral replication. Viruses bearing mutations within the Psi region failed to dimerise and to replicate in T-cells, a defect that could not be rescued by targeting more genomes to the cells. Psi-deleted viruses also displayed a defect in particle morphogenesis. A reduced packaging efficiency, combined with the presence of RNA monomers or unstable dimers in these virions, resulted in the production of fewer mature particles. However an increase in the number of particles containing two cores was observed. Further characterisation of the sequences and structural elements required for RNA dimerisation, packaging and viral replication showed that the formation of stem B is not critical for viral replication. However, a GGAG purine-rich motif at position 392-395 of the HIV-2rod genome is absolutely essential for genome dimerisation and viral infectivity, and a correlation was observed between dimer formation and viral replication.

description: We present submillimetre (SCUBA) photometry of a sample of eight high-redshift (2.5 < z < 3.5) radio quasars from two redshift surveys: the TEXOX-1000, or TOOT, survey; and the 7C Redshift Survey (7CRS). Unlike the powerful high-redshift radio sources observed previously in the submillimetre, these radio sources are typical of those dominating the radio luminosity density of the population. We detect just two of the TOOT/7CRS targets at 850 microns, and one of these detections is probably due to synchrotron emission rather than dust. The population represented by the other six objects is detected in a statistical sense with their average 850-micron flux density implying that they are similar to low-redshift, far-infrared-luminous quasars undergoing at most moderate (< 200 solar masses per year) starbursts. By considering all the SCUBA data available for radio sources, we conclude that positive correlations between rest-frame far-infrared luminosity, 151-MHz luminosity and redshift, although likely to be present, are hard to interpret because of subtle selection and classification biases, small number statistics and uncertainties concerning synchrotron contamination and K-correction. We argue that there is not yet any compelling evidence for significant differences in the submillimetre properties of radio-loud and radio-quiet quasars at high redshift.

description: We explore the work of Evans et al., who in turn have built on Schnyder’s definition of the dimension of a graph, and extended Schnyder woods to higher dimensions. Here we discuss d-realizers: sequences of d permutations on a set of vertices required to have empty intersection and d ‘suspension’ vertices. We will present a minimal graph having no d-realizer, and numerous graphs on 5, 6 and 7 vertices that do have one. Finally, we consider what possible characterization of graphs having a d-realizer could extend the triangulated-graph characterization found by Schnyder for 3 dimensional graphs.

description: This study proposes a new efficiency measurement technique CDS as combination of data envelopment analysis (DEA) and stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) and compares the CDS efficiency score with the DEA and SFA efficiency scores. The financial companies listed in Malaysian Stock Exchange for the period 2007-2016 are used to estimate the different types of efficiency score. Besides, linear regression analysis and ULFR (unreplicated linear functional relationship) analysis are used to analyze the performance of this CDS technique with the DEA and SFA techniques. The result suggests that the most efficient model is CDS which has a significant positive correlation with profit risk. Among the CDS, DEA and SFA techniques, the recommended technique (CDS) shows higher coefficient of determination values for both ULFR (0.9994) and linear regression (0.292) analysis. Also, based on the results of CDS, this study postulates that the most efficient firm is ACSM (Aeon Credit Service (M) Bhd) and the least efficient firm is MAY (Malayan Banking Bhd).

description: Fundamental problems of periodicity and transient process to periodicity of chaotic trajectories in computer realization with finite computation precision is investigated by taking single and coupled Logistic maps as examples. Empirical power law relations of the period and transient iterations with the computation precisions and the sizes of coupled systems are obtained. For each computation we always find, by randomly choosing initial conditions, a single dominant periodic trajectory which is realized with major portion of probability. These understandings are useful for possible applications of chaos, e.g., chaotic cryptography in secure communication.

description: The structural properties of polymers adsorbed onto a surface have been widely investigated using self-consistent mean-field theories. Recently, analytical mean-field theories have been applied to study polymer adsorption on curved surfaces but all in the context of the ground state dominance approximation in which the polymer chain length (N) is essentially infinite. Using an expression for the free energy by Semenov, we determine leading order (in 1/N) corrections due to the finiteness of the polymer chain length on surface tension, spontaneous curvature, and rigidity constants.

description: Στην παρούσα εργασία μελετάται η αποτελεσματικότητα των εκπαιδευτικών βιντεοπαιχνιδιών στην καλύτερη κατανόηση των κλασμάτων. Για τις απαιτήσεις της εργασίας κατασκευάστηκαν 3 ηλεκτρονικά παιχνίδια που αναπτύχθηκαν στο προγραμματιστικό περιβάλλον του Scratch. Η έρευνα αφορούσε μαθητές Ε’ και ΣΤ’ δημοτικού και είχε ως στόχο να βοηθήσει τους συμμετέχοντες να εξασκηθούν στις διαφορετικές αναπαραστάσεις του κλάσματος και να κατανοήσουν την πολυδιάστατη φύση αυτής της έννοιας. Μέσα από τα 3 βιντεοπαιχνίδια που κατασκευάστηκαν οι μαθητές ενεπλάκησαν σε δραστηριότητες σχετικές με την έκφραση του μέρους ενός κλάσματος, την τοποθέτησή του στην αριθμογραμμή, τη μέθοδο της αναγωγής στη μονάδα και στην έννοια του μεικτού αριθμού. Παρόλο που το δείγμα των συμμετεχόντων ήταν μικρό και οι συνθήκες υλοποίησης της έρευνας δύσκολες και περίπλοκες τα αποτελέσματα ήταν αρκετά ενθαρρυντικά και φάνηκε να υπάρχει σημαντική βελτίωση στα μαθησιακά τους αποτελέσματα.
description: The aim of the present thesis was to examine the effectiveness of educational video games in the better understanding of fractions. For the requirements of the research, were made 3 video games that were developed in the programming environment of Scratch. The research concerned fifth and sixth grade students and its aim was to help students to practice into the different representations of the fraction and understand the multidimensional nature of this concept. Through the 3 video games that were made, the students were involved in activities related to the expression of the part of a fraction, its placement on the number line, the method of reduction to the unit and the concept of the mixed number. Although the sample of participants was small and the conditions for conducting the research were difficult and complex, the results were quite encouraging and there seemed to be a significant improvement in the learning outcomes.

description: We present a comprehensive photometric analysis of a young open cluster NGC 1960 (M36) along with the long-term variability study of this cluster. Based on the kinematic data of Gaia DR2, the membership probabilities of 3871 stars are ascertained in the cluster field among which 262 stars are found to be cluster members. Considering the kinematic and trigonometric measurements of the cluster members, we estimate a mean cluster parallax of 0.86+/-0.05 mas and mean proper motions of mu_RA = -0.143+/-0.008 mas/yr, mu_Dec = -3.395+/-0.008 mas/yr. We obtain basic parameters of the cluster such as E(B-V) = 0.24+/-0.02 mag, log(Age/yr)=7.44+/-0.02, and distance = 1.17+/-0.06 kpc. The mass function slope in the cluster for the stars in the mass range of 0.72-7.32 M_solar is found to be γ= -1.26+/-0.19. We find that mass segregation is still taking place in the cluster which is yet to be dynamically relaxed. This work also presents first high-precision variability survey in the central 13'x13' among which 72 are periodic variables. Among them, 59 are short-period (P<1 day)and 13 are long-period (P>1 day). The variable stars have V magnitudes ranging between 9.1 to 19.4 mag and periods between 41 minutes to 10.74 days. On the basis of their locations in the H-R diagram, periods and characteristic light curves, the 20 periodic variables belong to the cluster. We classified them as 2 delta-Scuti, 3 gamma-Dor, 2 slowly pulsating B stars, 5 rotational variables, 2 non-pulsating B stars and 6 as miscellaneous variables.

description: As oil exports remain the main source of income for the Russian economy, the ongoing plunging of global oil prices is causing severe adverse supply shock and cost-push inflation in the country. The recent attempts at stabilisation policies by the policymakers have not been very successful in stabilising both national output and inflation. This has brought about concern over the relevance of policymaker interventions in the Russian economy. We investigate this matter by applying Asai’s (1999) model. Our empirical results indicated that the trade-off between output and inflation in the short run in Russia is inversely associated with the mean rate of inflation, which supports the new Keynesian view. As such, stabilisation policies, particularly monetary policies adopted by policymakers, are extremely crucial in moderating the short-run trade-off between output and inflation with respect to the recent financial crisis.

description: Like any other south Asian city, Delhi had grown organically through migrants of different communities and classes. Many working-class people develop their site of work and residence through a network of social relationships. Most of the time, these sites are illegal or quasi-legal. They often suffer the blow of violence of demolition due to the beautification of the city or through the logic of hygiene. These migrant working-class people are seen as trace-passers in the city. One such site is Meena Bazar. It is a makeshift market outside the main gate of Jama Masjid, a Mughal time famous mosque in old Delhi. This mosque stands just opposite the side of another spectacular Mughal site, Red Fort. Every year these two Mughal monuments attract millions of tourists.

description: Authors estimated the world economic system stability, using a discrete dynamic model (DDM). DDM allows to describe the state of the world economy (whether it is stable, potentially stable or unstable) at different time intervals by means of a generalized image, a "pictogram". These pictograms are radii of convergence (Julia sets) of DDM approximating polynomials. We used this methodology to analyze the state of the world economic system in the interval from 1963 to 2013. In order to determine the type of stability of the world economy in each year during this period, we solved the following interrelated tasks: determined the coefficients of the approximating polynomials, corresponding to different years; found basins of attraction of these polynomials for different values of the coefficients; determined the patterns of convergence of the basins of attraction thus found; built the Julia sets (the radii of convergence) corresponding to them. The obtained results confirm the conclusion that the development of the world economy is largely unstable. But the stability of the world economic system has increased over the period under review (1963-2013). Moreover, the last world economic crisis was not accompanied by a loss of stability. Based on the obtained results, we conclude that the potential stability of the development of the world economic system and economic crises are not unambiguously related concepts. It is necessary to distinguish between the situations of stable development of the economy and the crisis in the economy.

description: In industrial applications, developing predictive tools relying on numerical simulations using reduced-order models nourish the need of building a validation strategy. In the context of cryogenic atomization, we propose to build a hierarchy of direct numerical simulation test cases to assess qualitatively and quantitatively diffuse interface models. The present work proposes an initiation of the validation strategy with an air-assisted water atomization using a coaxial injector.
