description: In the transition to Run 3 in 2021, LHCb will undergo a major luminosity upgrade, going from 1.1 to 5.6 expected visible Primary Vertices (PVs) per event, and it will adopt a purely software trigger. We present an improved hybrid algorithm for vertexing in the upgrade conditions. We use a custom kernel to transform the sparse 3D space of hits and tracks into a dense 1D dataset, and then apply Deep Learning techniques to find PV locations using proxy distributions to encode the truth in training data. Last year we reported that training networks on our kernels using several Convolutional Neural Network layers yielded better than 90% efficiency with no more than 0.2 False Positives (FPs) per event. Modifying several elements of the algorithm, we now achieve better than 94% efficiency with a significantly lower FP rate. Where our studies to date have been made using toy Monte Carlo (MC), we are just now beginning to study KDEs produced from complete LHCb Run 3 MC data, including full tracking in the vertex locator rather than proto-tracking. We anticipate showing results from these studies as well.

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Martinotti cell
subject: electric stimulation
subject: transcranial magnetic stimulation

description: The aim of this thesis is the implementation of computational models for the investigationof the excitability of a Martinotti cell upon stimulation. The cell was modeled as a simple, stick neuron with a spherical cell body (soma) and additionally as a three-dimensional neuron with several branches, resembling a real geometry. The response of these models was tested to internal, external and uniform E-field stimulation. The latter was used for simulating transcranial magnetic stimulation.The axon terminal was the process with the smallest threshold amplitude during intracellular stimulation. Similarly, during extracellular cathodic stimulation, the less negative threshold amplitudes were observed above the axon terminal of the linear model and above a morphological discontinuity of the three-dimensional model. During transcranial magnetic stimulation the site of action potential initiation was the axon terminals or sites of termination in most of the cases. Spikes were not initiated at the soma or the axon initial segments for any orientation tested for both the linear and the three-dimensional models.

description: Acute intermittent hypercapnic hypoxia (IH) induces long-lasting elevations in sympathetic vasomotor outflow and blood pressure in healthy humans. It is unknown whether IH alters sympathetic neurovascular transduction (sNVT), measured as the relationship between sympathetic vasomotor outflow and either forearm vascular conductance (FVC; regional sNVT) or diastolic blood pressure (DBP; systemic sNVT). We tested the hypothesis that IH augments sNVT by exposing healthy males to 40 consecutive 1-minute breathing cycles, each comprising 40-seconds of hypercapnic hypoxia (PETCO₂: +4±3 mm Hg above baseline; PETO₂: 48±3 mm Hg) and 20-seconds of normoxia (n=9), or a 40-minute air-breathing control (n=7). Before and after the intervention, lower body negative pressure (LBNP; 3 minutes at -15, -30, and -45 mmHg) was applied to elicit reflex increases in muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSNA, fibular microneurography) while clamping end-tidal gases at baseline levels. Ventilation, arterial pressure (SBP, DBP, MAP), brachial artery blood flow (Q̇ BA), FVC (Q̇ BA/MAP), and MSNA burst frequency were measured continuously. Following IH, but not control, ventilation (5 l/min; 95% CI: 1 - 9), and MAP (5 mmHg; 95% CI: 1 - 9) were increased, while FVC (-0.2 ml/min/mm Hg; 95% CI: -0.0 - -0.4) and mean shear rate (SR; -21.9 /s; 95% CI: -5.8 - -38.0; all P<0.05) were reduced. Systemic sNVT was increased following IH (0.25 mm Hg/burst/min; 95% CI: 0.01 – 0.49; P<0.05), while changes in regional forearm sNVT were similar between IH and sham. Reductions in vessel wall shear stress and consequently nitric oxide production, may contribute to heightened systemic sNVT and provide a potential neuro-vascular mechanism for elevated blood pressure in obstructive sleep apnoea.
Rate-based Carbon Pricing Mechanism Design and Macroeconomic Impacts
Creators: name: Yang, Daniel
Publisher: name: Stanford Digital Repository

Subjects: subject: Carbon pricing
subject: Auctions

description: This paper studies the market design and macroeconomic aspects of carbon pricing. Based on a firm-level intertemporal decision model, this paper argues that an auction should be adopted as the allocation method for emissions allowances. It further examines the dynamics of allowances demand through four auction-based allocation formats. Using panel data from 11 member countries in the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS) between 2005 and 2021, this paper performs regression analyses that show a moderately positive impact of carbon pricing on the overall price level of an economy.

description: Electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) is an increasingly popular training method and has become the focus of research in recent years. New EMS devices offer a wide range of mobile applications for whole-body EMS (WB-EMS) training, e.g., the intensification of dynamic low-intensity endurance exercises through WB-EMS. The present study aimed to determine the differences in exercise intensity between WB-EMS-superimposed and conventional walking (EMS-CW), and CON and WB-EMS-superimposed Nordic walking (WB-EMS-NW) during a treadmill test. Eleven participants (52.0 ± years; 85.9 ± 7.4 kg, 182 ± 6 cm, BMI 25.9 ± 2.2 kg/m2) performed a 10 min treadmill test at a given velocity (6.5 km/h) in four different test situations, walking (W) and Nordic walking (NW) in both conventional and WB-EMS superimposed. Oxygen uptake in absolute (VO2) and relative to body weight (rel. VO2), lactate, and the rate of perceived exertion (RPE) were measured before and after the test. WB-EMS intensity was adjusted individually according to the feedback of the participant. The descriptive statistics were given in mean ± SD. For the statistical analyses, one-factorial ANOVA for repeated measures and two-factorial ANOVA [factors include EMS, W/NW, and factor combination (EMS*W/NW)] were performed (α = 0.05). Significant effects were found for EMS and W/NW factors for the outcome variables VO2 (EMS: p = 0.006, r = 0.736; W/NW: p < 0.001, r = 0.870), relative VO2 (EMS: p < 0.001, r = 0.850; W/NW: p < 0.001, r = 0.937), and lactate (EMS: p = 0.003, r = 0.771; w/NW: p = 0.003, r = 0.764) and both the factors produced higher results. However, the difference in VO2 and relative VO2 is within the range of biological variability of ± 12%. The factor combination EMS*W/NW is statistically non-significant for all three variables. WB-EMS resulted in the higher RPE values (p = 0.035, r = 0.613), RPE differences for W/NW and EMS*W/NW were not significant. The current study results indicate that WB-EMS influences the parameters of exercise intensity. The impact on exercise intensity and the clinical relevance of WB-EMS-superimposed walking (WB-EMS-W) exercise is questionable because of the marginal differences in the outcome variables.

title: Gender inequality in corporate law firms in Ireland: Recommendations for reform
Creators: name: Devlin, Beth
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2022

description: This thesis examines gender inequality in corporate law firms in Ireland, focusing specifically on proposals to reform the profession with the aim of securing greater participation by female solicitors within senior management positions. Although women currently make up more than half of all practising solicitors, they have consistently remained significantly underrepresented in corporate law firm partnerships. This thesis begins with an analysis of the structural and non-structural barriers that exist for women solicitors seeking to advance within the profession. These structures are both upheld and fuelled by practices that are deeply engrained in the profession, including the culture of long working hours and inaccessibility of alternative working arrangements. Consequently, subsequent chapters of this thesis examine proposals intended to address the barriers identified. The examination of these reform proposals is informed both by studies in other jurisdictions, alongside an empirical study conducted by the author with female solicitors who have experience working in corporate law firms in Dublin, Ireland. Through this study, the viability of the proposals is assessed by practitioners with relevant knowledge and expertise. The conclusion to this thesis recommends several reforms to address barriers identified. Recommendations include an abandonment of the billable hours model in favour of models of value billing, and increasing transparency and oversight in the operation of alternative working arrangements. Equally, emphasis is placed on measures designed to increase female representation within law firm partnerships, including gender quotas and core competency models of assessment. Finally, and as a means of addressing the masculine culture of the profession, recommendations consider the practicality of unconscious bias training and internal networking events. Alongside the central argument demonstrating the need for reform, this thesis demonstrates the consistency of the recommendations with the preferred formulation of equality: Sandra Fredman’s model of substantive equality. The broad and comprehensive nature of this model is significant in demonstrating the potential that these recommendations have in securing gender equality within the profession. The arguments made by this thesis demonstrate the pressing need for reform in corporate law firms in Ireland. In doing so, this research intends to contribute to and extend the existing literature in this area by proposing reforms designed to reduce instances of gender inequality within the profession.
CTD2020: Kinematic Kalman Filter Track Fit
Creators: name: Brown, David
name: Pezzullo, Gianantonio
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: We will present the implementation of a kinematic Kalman filter-based track fit. The kinematic fit uses time as the free parametric variable to describe the charged particle's path through space, and as an explicit fit parameter (t0). The fit coherently integrates measurements from sensors where position is encoded as time (ie drift cells) with pure time sensors and geometric (solid-state) position sensors, including time-domain correlations. The kinematic formulation implicitly defines the particle mass and propagation direction, and provides a natural relativistic interface to both particle momentum and position. We will show results from testing the fit using a toy MC, and compare its performance to a conventional geometric Kalman filter fit when both are applied to simulations of the straw tracker design of the Mu2e experiment.

description: Mitigating the damage resulting from construction of an asphalt reprocessing plant on a portion of the Leonard Haag site (12-D-19) was carried out by the Archaeological Resources Management Service.The damage was found to be limited to the plow zone and to the one conveyor belt trench. Archaeological data recovered during the project was predominantly from disturbed context. Artifacts and features were completely consistent with previous data from the site. The use of 1/4" screens revealed that artifact densities at the site were higher than those reported from earlier excavations when 1/2" screens were used. The smaller screen size also indicated that a previously identified sterile zone below the midden may be a sampling illusion resulting from the use of larger mesh screens. A discussion of problems associated with delineating the boundaries of the site, sample size and organization, and the lack of a detailed site report was also included. Recommendations for protecting the portion of the site involved in the mitigation and future archaeological investigations were included.

description: The ''Richardville'' House (12-Hu-1013), located at the forks of the Wabash River in Huntington, Indiana, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (Figures 1 & 2) . The house was reportedly built prior to 1850 by either the Miami Chief, Richardville, or his son-in-law, Lafontaine. A non- profit organization, Historic Forks of the Wabash, Inc., has been organized to maintain and develop the property which includes the house. Current plans call for rehabilitation of the house and one component of the plan includes archaeological excavations around the perimeter of the house. The excavations were carried out between June 12 and June 16, 1989, and this report contains an accounting of that work.

description: This paper explores the relationship between disease-level prescription drug expenditures, the availability of FDA-approved prescription drugs, disease-level scientific R&D expenses, and disease-specific mortality. Leveraging prescription drug data from the national Medical Expenditures Panel Survey, mortality data from the Center for Disease Control, research expenditures data from the NIH, and drug launch data from the FDA, I develop a number of fixed effects regression models to assess how movements in drug launches, disease-level research, and disease-level expenditures impact mortality as a health endpoint. This research elucidates how various movements in pharmaceutical innovation can predict changes in mortality rates. This paper also aims to understand the impact of new drug launches across time and resolve whether mortality trends are more significantly related to drug launches in a previous year than in a current year – the former of which suggests that drug launches drive movements in mortality rather than the reverse. Analysis of a time lagged innovation variable estimates that a 1% increase in the cumulative available prescription drugs on the market yields a 0.25% decrease in mortality rates for individuals above the age of 65 and a 0.37% decrease in mortality rate for individuals below the age of 65. Analysis of disease-level NIH R&D data shows that a 1% increase in research spending yields a 0.59% decrease in mortality rate for individuals older than 65.

description: Fictional representations of familial paradigms are changing. This discussion charts the variations that occur in family makeup; such as the single-parent, the lesbian parent, and the guardian parent households. While the nuclear family situation is missing from this selection, it is not absent from these novels. What is different in both Fried Green Tomatoes and Bastard out of Carolina is choice. People make choices concerning who they want to live with. Writers, like Flagg and Allison, make choices concerning their characters' familial configurations, but they do· not require their characters or their readers to determine that one should eradicate the other.

By examining these specific novels, certain patterns and shifts in the familial paradigm, as represented in fiction begin to surface. These novels also exemplify how important it is to maintain family histories and the power of the storyteller.
CTD2020: Learned Representations from Lower-Order Interactions for Efficient Clustering
Creators: name: Choma, Nicholas
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: Efficient agglomerative clustering is reliant on the ability to exploit useful lower-order information contained within data, yet many real-world datasets do not consist of features which are naturally amenable to metric functions as required by these algorithms. In this work, we present a framework for learning representations which contain such metric structure, allowing for efficient clustering and neighborhood queries of data points. We demonstrate how this framework fits in with both traditional clustering pipelines, and more advanced approaches such as graph neural networks. Finally, we present numerical results on the TrackML particle tracking challenge dataset, where our framework shows favorable results in both physics-based tracking methods, and new end-to-end deep learning approaches with graph neural networks developed in the context of the Exa.TrkX project.

Creators: name: Osborn, Joseph
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: sPHENIX is a new experiment being constructed at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The primary physics goals of sPHENIX are to measure jets, their substructure, and the upsilon resonances in both p+p and Au+Au collisions. To realize these goals, a tracking system composed of a time projection chamber and several silicon detectors will be used to identify tracks corresponding to jets and upsilon decays. However, the sPHENIX experiment will collect approximately 200 PB of data utilizing a finite size computing center, and thus, due to the large occupancy of heavy-ion collisions, track reconstruction in a timely manner remains a challenge. This talk will discuss the sPHENIX experiment, its track reconstruction, and the need for the implementation of faster track fitting algorithms, such as that provided by the ACTS package, into the sPHENIX software stack.

description: We report Bayesian inference of the mass, radius and hot X-ray emitting region properties - using data from the Neutron Star Interior Composition ExploreR (NICER) - for the brightest rotation-powered millisecond X-ray pulsar PSR J0437$\unicode{x2013}$4715. Our modeling is conditional on informative tight priors on mass, distance and binary inclination obtained from radio pulsar timing using the Parkes Pulsar Timing Array (PPTA) (Reardon et al. 2024), and we use NICER background models to constrain the non-source background, cross-checking with data from XMM-Newton. We assume two distinct hot emitting regions, and various parameterized hot region geometries that are defined in terms of overlapping circles; while simplified, these capture many of the possibilities suggested by detailed modeling of return current heating. For the preferred model identified by our analysis we infer a mass of $M = 1.418 \pm 0.037$ M$_\odot$ (largely informed by the PPTA mass prior) and an equatorial radius of $R = 11.36^{+0.95}_{-0.63}$ km, each reported as the posterior credible interval bounded by the 16% and 84% quantiles. This radius favors softer dense matter equations of state and is highly consistent with constraints derived from gravitational wave measurements of neutron star binary mergers. The hot regions are inferred to be non-antipodal, and hence inconsistent with a pure centered dipole magnetic field.

CTD2020: Overview of online and offline reconstruction in ALICE for LHC Run 3
Creators: name: Rohr, David
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: In LHC Run 3, ALICE will increase the data taking rate significantly to 50 kHz continuous readout of minimum bias Pb-Pb collisions. The reconstruction strategy of the online offline computing upgrade foresees a first synchronous online reconstruction stage during data taking enabling detector calibration, and a posterior calibrated asynchronous reconstruction stage. The main challenges include processing and compression of 100 times more events per second than in Run 2, identification of removable TPC tracks and clusters not used for physics, tracking of TPC data in continuous readout, the TPC space charge distortion calibrations, and in general running more reconstruction steps online compared to Run 2. ALICE will leverage GPUs to facilitate the synchronous processing with the available resources. For the best GPU resource utilization, we plan to offload also several steps of the asynchronous reconstruction to the GPU. In order to be vendor independent, we support CUDA, OpenCL, and HIP, and we maintain a common C++ source code that also runs on the CPU. We will give an overview of the global reconstruction and tracking strategy, a comparison of the performance on CPU and different GPU models, the scaling of the reconstruction with the input data size, as well as estimates of the required resources in terms of memory and processing power.

Treatment of acute thrombosis using plasminogen activators, the gold standard treatment in clinical settings, comes with some limitations such as the potential risk of fatal systemic bleeding. The research work, presented in this thesis, describes the development and evaluation of two promising liposomal platforms for near-infrared light responsive release and targeted delivery of therapeutics to thrombosis. The newly developed platforms offer a potentially safer alternative to current treatments and open further opportunities to the use of stimuli-responsive nanomedicine and antibody delivery to efficiently treat acute thrombosis.

description: A 40 MHz scouting system at CMS would provide fast and virtually unlimited statistics for detector diagnostics, alternative luminosity measurements and, in some cases, calibrations, and it has the potential to enable the study of otherwise inaccessible signatures, either too common to fit in the L1 accept budget, or with requirements which are orthogonal to "mainstream" physics, such as long-lived particles. Deep learning is a class of machine learning algorithms that uses multiple layers to progressively extract higher-level features from the raw inputs. A series of studies on different aspects of LHC data processing have demonstrated the potential of deep learning for CERN applications. The usage of deep learning aims at improving physics performance and reducing execution time. This talk will present a deep learning approach to muon scouting in the Level-1 Trigger of the CMS detector. The idea is to utilize multilayered perceptrons to 're-fit' the Level-1 muon tracks, using fully reconstructed offline tracking parameters as the ground truth for neural network training. The network produces corrected helix parameters (transverse momentum, eta and phi), with a precision that is greatly improved over the standard Level 1 reconstruction. The network is executed on an FPGA-based PCIe board produced by Micron Technology, the SB-852. It is implemented using the Micron Deep Learning Accelerator inference engine. The methodology for developing deep learning models will be presented, alongside the process of compiling the models for fast inference hardware. The metrics for evaluating performance and the achieved results will be discussed.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020

description: The Kalman Filter approach to fitting charged particle trajectories is widespread in modern complex tracking systems. At the same time, the global fit of the detector geometry using Newton-Raphson fitted tracks remains the baseline method to achieve efficient and reliable track-based alignment which is free from weak-mode biases affecting physics measurements. A brief reminder of the global least squares formalism for track-based alignment and how Kalman Filter fitted tracks can be equivalently used for the global fit as well as potential computational benefits and use of additional constraints will be reviewed.

description: This report elaborates on and essentially confirms the findings, conclusions, and recommendations stated in the interim report (Cochran 1979). Significant archaeological remains exist in the portion of construction area A south of the park entrance road, south and west of the pavilion, and in the eastern portion of area E, in all of which construction should be avoided. In addition construction of the pool in area C poses a threat of serious secondary impacts on the neighboring earthwork group, which must be protected. Finally, investigation of the plowed out earthwork group on the edge of the campground in area E shows that substantial remains still exist that should be protected with an eye to eventual restoration. A number of specific recommendations are made concerning these areas and the park resources in general.

description: Acetazolamide is used to prevent/treat acute mountain sickness and both central and obstructive sleep apnoea. Methazolamide, like acetazolamide reduces hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction, but has fewer side effects including less skeletal muscle function impairment. Since methazolamide’s effects on respiratory control in humans are unknown, we (1) compared the effects of oral methazolamide and acetazolamide on ventilatory control, and (2) determined the ventilation-log PO₂ relationship in humans. In a double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized cross-over design, we studied the effects of acetazolamide (250 mg tid), methazolamide (100 mg bid) and placebo in fourteen young male subjects who were exposed to 7 minutes of normoxic hypercapnia and to three levels of eucapnia and hypercapnic hypoxia. With placebo, methazolamide, and acetazolamide, the CO₂ sensitivities were 2.39 ± 1.29, 3.27 ± 1.82 and 2.62 ± 1.79 l/min/mmHg (NS) and estimated apnoeic thresholds were 32 ± 3, 28 ± 3 and 26 ± 3 mmHg, respectively (P < 0.001, placebo vs methazolamide and acetazolamide). The relationship between ventilation (V̇ I) and log PO₂ (using arterialized venous PO₂ in hypoxia) was linear, while neither agent influenced the relationship between hypoxic sensitivity (ΔV̇ I/Δlog PO₂) and arterial [H⁺]. Using ΔV̇ I/Δlog PO₂ rather than ΔV̇ I/ΔSaO₂ enables a more accurate estimation of oxygenation and ventilatory control in metabolic acidosis/alkalosis when right- or left-ward shifts of the oxyhaemoglobin saturation curve occur. Since acetazolamide and methazolamide has similar effects on ventilatory control, methazolamide may be preferred for indications requiring the use of a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, avoiding some of the negative side-effects of acetazolamide.

description: This research explores various non-intrusive techniques of measuring water levels. After determining the gap that exists in relevant literature, the focus shifted towards utilizing stereoscopic cameras capable of measuring colour and depth in a scene to measure water levels. This was integrated with an edge computing strategy for processing footage from the camera close to the source, in order to alleviate bandwidth stress off the local network infrastructure. Two setups were installed on-site to test the reliability and feasibility of such systems so that resource-constrained locations can benefit from and achieve constant 24-hour water level monitoring under all weather conditions.

description: The Belle II experiment at the B-Factory SuperKEKB in Tsukuba, Japan performs precision tests of the standard model and searches for new physics. Due to the high luminosity and beam currents, Belle II faces severe rates of background tracks displaced from the collision region, which have to be rejected within the tight timing constraints of the first level trigger. To this end, a novel neural network z vertex trigger has been implemented on parallel FPGA hardware and integrated into the track trigger pipeline. Presently the results of a 2D Hough finder, which uses only the axial wire hits from the central drift chamber, are combined with stereo wire hits and drift-times to form the input for the robust neural network 3D track reconstruction. In this contribution a machine learning based 3D track finder is proposed, which improves the track finding efficiency by using the additional stereo wire hits in the preprocessing step for the neural network input. An experimentally optimized configuration of its parameters is presented and the benefits and impact on the neural network performance are evaluated on early Belle II data and simulated low multiplicity events.
