SPS Short Course, 21 March 2024, Dr. Philippe Ciuciu
Course Overview
This course aims to summarize recent model-based and data driven approaches in accelerated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), concerning both data acquisition and image reconstruction strategies. Hence, it will embody a review of variational methods based on optimization algorithms to implement both model-based data acquisition and image reconstruction methods and then deep learning techniques to leverage big data sets for image reconstruction and finally the design of new acquisition techniques. Prior to that, to make this course self-contained and clearly identify the novelty of the material that will be taught, the required background of MR physics for data collection in the standard setting will be introduced for multiple anatomical imaging contrasts (T1, T2, T2*, etc.). Additionally, the state of the art in classical acceleration techniques, called parallel imaging, will be reviewed as well. All these aspects are rarely covered in IEEE lectures.  This course is specifically tailored to graduate students, researchers and industry professionals working in the medical imaging field who want to know more about the radical shift machine learning has introduced for MRI during the last few years. As MRI is the most widely used medical imaging technique for non-invasively probing soft tissues in the human body (brain, heart, breast, liver, etc.), training PhD students, postdocs and researchers in electrical and biomedical engineering is strategic for crossfertilizing the fields and for understanding the ML-related needs and expectations from the MRI side.

description: The first part of this article (Sections I and II) presents oneself an overview of theory and phenomenology of truly neutral particles based on the papers of Majorana, Racah, Furry, McLennan and Case. The recent development of the construct, undertaken by Ahluwalia [{\it Mod. Phys. Lett. A}{\bf 9} (1994) 439; {\it Acta Phys. Polon. B}{\bf 25} (1994) 1267; Preprints LANL LA-UR-94-1252, LA-UR-94-3118], could be relevant for explanation of the present experimental situation in neutrino physics and astrophysics. In Section III the new fundamental wave equations for self/anti-self conjugate type-II spinors, proposed by Ahluwalia, are re-casted to covariant form. The connection with the Foldy-Nigam-Bargmann-Wightman- Wigner (FNBWW) type quantum field theory is found. The possible applications to the problem of neutrino oscillations are discussed.

description: Some methoxy-, hydroxyl-, pyridyl-, or fluoro-substituted 3,5-bis(arylidene)-4-piperidones (BAPs) could reduce inflammation and promote hepatoma cell apoptosis by inhibiting activation of NF-κB, especially after introduction of trifluoromethyl. Herein, a series of trifluoromethyl-substituted BAPs (4-30) were synthesised and the biological activities were evaluated. We successfully found the most potential 16, which contains three trifluoromethyl substituents and exhibits the best anti-tumour and anti-inflammatory activities. Preliminary mechanism research revealed that 16 could promote HepG2 cell apoptosis in a dose-dependent manner by down-regulating the expression of Bcl-2 and up-regulating the expression of Bax, C-caspase-3. Meanwhile, 16 inhibited activation of NF-κB by directly inhibiting the phosphorylation of p65 and IκBα induced by LPS, together with indirectly inhibiting MAPK pathway, thereby exhibiting both anti-hepatoma and anti-inflammatory activities. Molecular docking confirmed that 16 could bind to the active sites of Bcl-2, p65, and p38 reasonably. The above results suggested that 16 has enormous potential to be developed as a multifunctional agent for the clinical treatment of liver cancers and inflammatory diseases.

description: Phlebotomus (Phlebotomus) papatasi (Scopoli, 1786)
The male is characterised by the presence of two spines at the end of the surstyle, by a group of more than ten big setae at the distal part of the gonocoxite, by the upper part of the paramere longer than the other ones and covered with setae along its full length. The ascoids are relatively short and never reach the next articulation.
The female is identified by its annealed spermathecae with sessile head wrapped in a cloud. Its pharyngeal armature presents teeth with, at the anterior part, many comb-like ones. Ascoids never reach the next articulation.
The distribution of this major vector of L. major [34] is very large, from Bangladesh to Morocco and from Crimea to Sudan. Limited to the North of the Sahara in West Africa, the species is most southern in East Africa. In Oman, the species is absent in the Dhofar, but dominates in the Sharqiyah. It was previously recorded in the Wahiba sands of the Sultanate [36].

RIVELARE IL GENIUS LOCI
Creators: name: Andreotti, Giuliana
Publisher: name: Bollettino della Società Geografica Italiana
Year: 2019

description: This article proposes a reflection on the concept of genius loci, which generically means the intimacy of a place, its significance and its deepest essence. According to the German thought, it has been identified as Stimmung, i.e. the atmosphere of particular areas. Through the original sense of the term, which is studied by the scholars of ancient Roman history, we can reach those ones of geography, philosophy and architecture. On the basis and through the presentation of the contributions from different disciplines, we try demonstrating how places can show their own specific character, that is their genius. To catch it, you need to attend a place for a long time and expect until it reveals itself. That speaks through the senses and the imagination stimulated by its environment, its history, its culture and its myths. Some Brazilian towns as well as some literary passages fit our purpose of demonstrating that.

A GEOGRAPHICAL APPROACH TO SUSTAINABLE TERRITORIAL PLANNING
Creators: name: Ciervo, Margherita
Publisher: name: Bollettino della Società Geografica Italiana
Year: 2019

description: This paper explores an approach to territorial planning from a purely geographical perspective, with the idea to approach the top-down planning concept, similarly as if it were presented «bottom-up». The supporting thesis is that the geographical approaches (such as those proposed by the different addresses of this discipline) have the conceptual, interpretative and methodological tools to overcome, via a holistic and systemic outlook, the hierarchical and pyramidal formulation. Process, distribution and power relations are identified to recognize and explicate the subtended political choices, to get to the heart of problems. Building the foundations to develop a plan «with» the inhabitants, which are the communities that live in the place, and not solely «for» them. Another aim of this paper is to try to offer interpretative keys to «read» and/or evaluate and/or elaborate on participating planning policies (on different spatial scale levels) for a sustainable and ecological equilibrated government of territory.

THE GEOGRAPHY OF WELL-BEING IN ITALY
Creators: name: Evangelista, Valentina
Publisher: name: Bollettino della Società Geografica Italiana
Year: 2019

description: This research explores the geographic distribution of well-being within Italy. Prior studies extensively analysed the correlation between well-being and a range of heterogeneous life domains (wealth and work conditions, health and personality, education. etc.) at national level. The present study aimed to extend previous work by adopting a regional level of analysis and demonstrating that the geographic distribution of objective well-being does not correspond with that of subjective well-being, measured in terms of life satisfaction. The results also suggest that some life domains (i.e. population density, air quality) generally considered determinants of national well-being. seem not to have any impact on the regional perception of well-being and also that some partially still unexplored life domains such as the social relationships or the levels of “civicness” have a prominent role in drawing the geography of subjective well-being in Italy.

description: The phase diagram of Zn has been explored up to 140 GPa and 6000 K, by combining optical observations, x-ray diffraction, and ab-initio calculations. In the pressure range covered by this study, Zn is found to retain a hexagonal close-packed crystal symmetry up to the melting temperature. The known decrease of the axial ratio of the hcp phase of Zn under compression is observed in x-ray diffraction experiments from 300 K up to the melting temperature. The pressure at which the axial ratio reaches the square root of 3 value, around 10 GPa, is slightly affected by temperature. When this axial ratio is reached, we observed that single crystals of Zn, formed at high temperature, break into multiple polycrystals. In addition, a noticeable change in the pressure dependence of the axial ratio takes place at the same pressure. Both phenomena could be caused by an isomorphic second-order phase transition induced by pressure in Zn. The reported melt curve extends previous results from 24 to 135 GPa. The pressure dependence obtained for the melting temperature is accurately described up to 135 GPa by using a Simon-Glatzel equation. The determined melt curve agrees with previous low-pressure studies and with shock-wave experiments, with a melting temperature of 5060 K at 135 GPa. Finally, a thermal equation of state is reported, which at room-temperature agrees with the literature.

Gradual Liquid Type Inference
Creators: name: Vazou, Niki

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Programming Languages (cs.PL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Liquid typing provides a decidable refinement inference mechanism that is convenient but subject to two major issues: (1) inference is global and requires top-level annotations, making it unsuitable for inference of modular code components and prohibiting its applicability to library code, and (2) inference failure results in obscure error messages. These difficulties seriously hamper the migration of existing code to use refinements. This paper shows that gradual liquid type inference---a novel combination of liquid inference and gradual refinement types---addresses both issues. Gradual refinement types, which support imprecise predicates that are optimistically interpreted, can be used in argument positions to constrain liquid inference so that the global inference process e effectively infers modular specifications usable for library components. Dually, when gradual refinements appear as the result of inference, they signal an inconsistency in the use of static refinements. Because liquid refinements are drawn from a nite set of predicates, in gradual liquid type inference we can enumerate the safe concretizations of each imprecise refinement, i.e. the static refinements that justify why a program is gradually well-typed. This enumeration is useful for static liquid type error explanation, since the safe concretizations exhibit all the potential inconsistencies that lead to static type errors. We develop the theory of gradual liquid type inference and explore its pragmatics in the setting of Liquid Haskell.

SPS Short Course, 6 December 2023, Dr. Ghassan AlRegib, Dr. Mohit Prabhushankar

Course Overview Visual explanations have traditionally acted as rationales used to justify the decisions made by machine learning systems. With the advent of large-scale neural networks, the role of visual explanations has been to shed interpretability on black-box models. We view this role as the process for the network to answer the question `Why P?’, where P is a trained network’s prediction. Recently however, with increasingly capable models, the role of explainability has expanded. Neural networks are asked to justify `What if?’ counterfactual and `Why P, rather than Q?’ contrastive question modalities that the network did not explicitly train to answer. This allows explanations to act as reasons to make further prediction. The short course provides a principled and rational introduction into Explainability within machine learning and justifies them as reasons to make decisions. Such a reasoning framework allows for robust machine learning as well as trustworthy AI to be accepted in everyday lives. Applications like robust recognition, image quality assessment, visual saliency, anomaly detection, out-of-distribution detection, adversarial image detection, seismic interpretation, semantic segmentation, and machine teaching among others will be discussed.

Anomaly Matching and a Hopf-Wess-Zumino Term in 6d, N=(2,0) Field Theories

Year: 2000
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We point out that the low energy theory of 6d, N=(2,0) field theories, when away from the origin of the moduli space of vacua, necessarily includes a new kind of Wess-Zumino term. The form of this term is related to the Hopf invariant associated with π_7 (S^4). The coefficient of the Wess-Zumino term is fixed by an anomaly matching relation for a global flavor symmetry. For example, in the context of a single M5 brane probe in the background of N distant M5 branes, the probe must have the Hopf-WZ term with coefficient proportional to N(N+1). Various related checks and observations are made. We also point out that there are skyrmionic strings, and propose that they are the W-boson strings.

description: Phlebotomus (Phlebotomus) bergeroti Parrot, 1934
The male is characterised by the presence of two spines at the end of the surstyle. The gonocoxite has a subapical tuft not exceeding ten setae. The upper part of the paramere is slightly longer than the other ones and covered with bristles in its distal half only.
The female is identified by its annealed spermathecae with sessile head, by a pharynx armed with teeth without spines or denticles on the posterior part and by the presence of anterior bilateral teeth. Ascoids reach or exceed the next articulation.
The distribution of Ph. bergeroti is wide: from Morocco to Iran. Its southern limit is the Sudan. In Oman, it is a scarce species in the Sharqiyah and the semi-arid zone of Dhofar, but it becomes abundant in the perarid part of the latter region. The strong anthropophily of Ph. bergeroti, and its abundance in certain perarid areas [2, 44] are arguments in favor of a significant vector role for L. major in the extreme deserts of Africa and the Arabian peninsula.

DISUSED QUARRIES ON THE SORRENTO COAST. LOCAL HISTORY, ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE AND REUSE
Creators: name: Pignatelli, Giuseppe
Publisher: name: Bollettino della Società Geografica Italiana
Year: 2019

description: Mining activities play a prominent role in landscape deterioration, and their effects are especially evident in the Sorrento peninsula, where many quarries have been working along the coast for more than seventy years. Although it has always been an essential area of the local economy, the intensive exploitation of limestone ridges (as analyzed in the first part of this essay) has given rise to many territorial management issues which have been worsened by the closing down of the main coastal mines and by the ways they are being reused. The inadequacy of the national and local laws allowed the ruin of an area with high environmental value, which resulted in the conversion of many disused structures into tourist facilities, while more appropriate operations could have capitalized better on their potentials. Since the locating of tourist infrastructure in a mine site is very questionable and the configuration of the land makes it extremely difficult the re-naturalization, any idea of reuse should therefore involve the rehabilitation and valorization of abandoned workplaces, such as the mining park in the Jeranto bay created by FAI, the Fund for Italian Environment.

Course Overview
This course aims to summarize recent model-based and data driven approaches in accelerated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), concerning both data acquisition and image reconstruction strategies. Hence, it will embody a review of variational methods based on optimization algorithms to implement both model-based data acquisition and image reconstruction methods and then deep learning techniques to leverage big data sets for image reconstruction and finally the design of new acquisition techniques. Prior to that, to make this course self-contained and clearly identify the novelty of the material that will be taught, the required background of MR physics for data collection in the standard setting will be introduced for multiple anatomical imaging contrasts (T1, T2, T2*, etc.). Additionally, the state of the art in classical acceleration techniques, called parallel imaging, will be reviewed as well. All these aspects are rarely covered in IEEE lectures.  This course is specifically tailored to graduate students, researchers and industry professionals working in the medical imaging field who want to know more about the radical shift machine learning has introduced for MRI during the last few years. As MRI is the most widely used medical imaging technique for non-invasively probing soft tissues in the human body (brain, heart, breast, liver, etc.), training PhD students, postdocs and researchers in electrical and biomedical engineering is strategic for crossfertilizing the fields and for understanding the ML-related needs and expectations from the MRI side.

Gauging of Nonlinearly Realized Symmetries

description: A representation of a subgroup H of a finite-dimensional group G can be used to induce a nonlinear realization of G. If the nonlinearly realized symmetry is gauged, then the BRST charge can be related by a similarity transformation to the BRST charge for the gauged linear realization of H (plus a cohomologically trivial piece). It is shown that the relation between the two BRST charges is a reflection of the fact that they can be interpreted geometrically as expressions for the exterior derivative on G relative to two different bases, and an explicit expression for the generator of the similarity transformation is obtained. This result is applied in an infinite-dimensional setting, where it yields the similarity transformation used by Ishikawa and Kato to prove the equivalence of the Berkovits-Vafa superstring with the underlying bosonic string theory.

description: This paper provides a few approaches to automating computer programming and project submission tasks, that we have been following for the last six years and have found to be successful. The approaches include using CodeRunner with Learning Management System (LMS) integration for programming practice and evaluation, and Git (GitHub) for project submissions and automatic code evaluation. In this paper, we describe the details of how we set up the tools and customized those for computer science courses. Based on our experiences, we also provide a few insights on using these tools for effective learning.

description: The paper is part of a research project carried forward during the past seven years, with the participation of parts of the local community, of students and of professors and more recently with the collaboration of Corporación Sueños Films (and of the «Ojo al Sancocho» film festival promoted by this latter Association); this Association acts as intermediary for the safe access to Localidad 19, Ciudad Bolívar, Bogotá D.C., which is considered unsafe even by the police. Research on the identification of popular habitat has been performed for many years; strategies have been suggested for the implementation of these researches in the development of popular neighborhoods, complemented by the «IAP» process (in English «Research, Action and Participation»), with help from students of architecture and of industrial design and of popular communities. This proposal suggests a strategy for the integrated improvement of habitat incorporating issues of productive residence, of equipment and of public space for informal peripheral neighborhoods, based on the development of a qualitative research performed with participation of students, of experts both from the public and private sectors and of neighborhood communities. This exercise – conceives as an academic contribution to the habitational deficit – has tried to follow the inhabitants of Manitas neighborhood who are involved in the future construction of the Ciudad Bolívar cablecar, so as to give space to future projects and to real «research, action and participation» proposals, incorporating new strategies for social housing based on what is known as Vivienda en Altura Progresiva por Autoconstrucción y Productiva (VAP+A+p, «High-rise, progressive, self-built and productive housing»).

CONFLICTS IN PLANNING IMPLEMENTATION ON THE INFORMAL CITY
Creators: name: JIMÉNEZ ROMERA, CARLOS

Year: 2019

description: The growth of Latin American cities in recent decades has happened mainly on the sidelines of formal planning, producing an “informal city” which does not follow the urban model defined and promoted by institutions. Urban planning in such a context is focused mainly in re-urbanizing this informal city, following criteria which often modify, or even destroy, the informal city’s functional logic. In the following article these conflicts are summarily reviewed, with examples drawn from Bogotá and Medellín, in Colombia. These are then put in contrast with European practices, where intervention in the existing city has become the pivotal element of urban planning, but in a very different cultural, social and institutional context.

description: The premise of a radical change regarding to contemporary urbanization, evidenced in a new physical and social structure of the city, is the main idea of this essay. This idea is applied to Bogotá, a city strongly transformed by the neoliberal globalization process since the 90's. Then, the objective of the essay is to examine the new sociospatial structure, using a multivariate technique of Principal component analysis. The paper is organized in four parts: a discussion about the industrial city and its nature; the description of Bogotá´s change towards an economical structure dominated by the tertiary; a Principal component analysis in order to identify the contemporary social ecology of the city and its relationship with a liberalized economy; and finally, the conclusions focused on characterizing a new social morphology in Bogotá.

The male is characterised by the presence of four to seven spines at the end of the surstyle. The gonocoxite has about ten setae in its distal half, and usually two ones in its proximal part. The upper part of the paramere is slightly shorter than the other ones and is covered with setae throughout its length. The female is identified by its annealed spermathecae with sessile head. Its pharyngeal armature does not exhibit comb-like or lateral teeth. Ascoids sometimes reach the next articulation.
Its distribution is south of the Sahara to the Equator in Africa, and extends into the Arabian Peninsula. In Oman, the species is absent from Dhofar and seems rare in Sharqiyah, where we captured only two specimens.
This species constitutes in some foci a good alternative to L. major transmission by Ph. papatasi [15].

description: The damping of single-particle and collective motion in exotic isotopes is a new topic and its study may shed light on basic problems of nuclear dynamics. For instance, it is known that nuclear structure calculations are not able, as a rule, to account completely for the empirical single-particle damping. In this contribution, we present calculations of the single-particle self-energy in the case of the neutron-rich light nucleus $^{28}$O, by taking proper care of the continuum, and we show that there are important differences with the case of nuclei along the valley of stability.

description: Social exclusion has always been part of African-descendent people’s history in Brazil. Presently, it occurs in a disguisedly brutal and socially invisible manner. The quilombola communities – the typical general situation of the African-descendent people in Brazil – consist of peasant populations descending from African slaves that have been integrated partially and marginally to Brazilian society. This paper analyzes the fight for the territorial conquest of the Poça quilombola community, located in the Ribeira River Valley. The community of Poça relates to wider processes than the ones that are possible to observe inside the community. Both the process of mobilization of work and the process of production of capital determine the struggle for the possession of the land, as well as the permanence of the individuals.

Possibility of Identifying Matter around Rotating Black Hole with Black Hole Shadow

description: Shadows cast by the rotating black hole in perfect fluid matter are studied using analytical method. We consider three kinds of matter with standard equation of state in Cosmology: $-1/3$ (dark matter), 0 (dust) and $1/3$ (radiation). The apparent shape of the shadow depends on the black hole spin $a$ and the perfect fluid matter intensity $k$. We find that the shadow is a perfect circle in the non-rotating case ($a=0$) and a distorted one in the rotating case ($a\neq0$), similar to what is found for other black holes. Interestingly, different kinds of matter have different influence on the black hole shadow. Dark matter has the strongest effect, dust is the next and radiation is the weakest. By applying our result to the black hole Sgr A$^{*}$ at the center of the Milky Way, we find that the angular resolution required to distinguish among different kinds of matter around the black hole is not much higher than the resolution of current astronomical instruments would be able to achieve in the near future. We propose that observing the black hole shadow provides a possibility of identifying the dominant matter near the black hole.
