description: Post-starburst (PSB), or 'E+A', galaxies represent a rapid transitional phase between major, gas-rich mergers and gas-poor, quiescent early-type galaxies. Surprisingly, many PSBs have been shown to host a significant interstellar medium (ISM), despite theoretical predictions that the majority of star-forming gas should be expelled in AGN- or starburst-driven outflows. To-date, the resolved properties of this surviving ISM have remained unknown. We present high resolution ALMA continuum and CO(2$-$1) observations in six gas- and dust-rich PSBs, revealing for the first time the spatial and kinematic structure of their ISM on sub-kpc scales. We find extremely compact molecular reservoirs, with dust and gas surface densities rivaling those found in (ultra-)luminous infrared galaxies. We observe spatial and kinematic disturbances in all sources, with some also displaying disk-like kinematics. Estimates of the internal turbulent pressure in the gas exceed those of normal star-forming disks by at least 2 orders of magnitude, and rival the turbulent gas found in local interacting galaxies, such as the Antennae. Though the source of this high turbulent pressure remains uncertain, we suggest that the high incidence of tidal disruption events (TDEs) in PSBs could play a role. The star formation in these PSBs' turbulent central molecular reservoirs is suppressed, forming stars only 10% as efficiently as starburst galaxies with similar gas surface densities. "The fall" of star formation in these galaxies was not precipitated by complete gas expulsion or redistribution. Rather, this high-resolution view of PSBs' ISM indicates that star formation in their remaining compact gas reservoirs is suppressed by significant turbulent heating.

description: Partial differential equation (PDE) constrained optimization problems such as seismic full waveform inversion (FWI) frequently arise in the geoscience and related fields. For such problems, many observations are usually gathered by multiple sources, which form the right-hand-sides of the PDE constraint. Solving the inverse problem with such massive data sets is computationally demanding, in particular when dealing with large number of model parameters. This paper proposes a novel randomized source sketching method for the efficient resolution of multisource PDE constrained optimization problems. We first formulate the different source-encoding strategies used in seismic imaging into a unified framework based on a randomized sketching. To this end, the source dimension of the problem is projected in a smaller domain by a suitably defined projection matrix that gathers the physical sources in super-sources through a weighted summation. This reduction in the number of physical sources decreases significantly the number of PDE solves while suitable sparsity-promoting regularization can efficiently mitigate the footprint of the cross-talk noise to maintain the convergence speed of the algorithm. We implement the randomized sketching method in an extended search-space formulation of frequency-domain FWI, which relies on the alternating direction method of multipliers (ADMM). Numerical examples carried out with a series of well documented 2D benchmarks demonstrate that the randomized sketching algorithm reduces the cost of large-scale problems by at least one order of magnitude compared to the original deterministic algorithm.

description: This article proposes an inertial navigation algorithm intended to lower the negative consequences of the absence of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) signals on the navigation of autonomous fixed wing low SWaP (Size, Weight, and Power) UAVs (Unmanned Air Vehicles). In addition to accelerometers and gyroscopes, the filter takes advantage of sensors usually present onboard these platforms, such as magnetometers, Pitot tube, and air vanes, and aims to minimize the attitude error and reduce the position drift (both horizontal and vertical) with the dual objective of improving the aircraft GNSS-Denied inertial navigation capabilities as well as facilitating the fusion of the inertial filter with visual odometry algorithms. Stochastic high fidelity Monte Carlo simulations of two representative scenarios involving the loss of GNSS signals are employed to evaluate the results, compare the proposed filter with more traditional implementations, and analyze the sensitivity of the results to the quality of the onboard sensors. The author releases the C++ implementation of both the navigation filter and the high fidelity simulation as open-source software.

title: Behavioural Psychology as a Social Project: From Social Engineering to the Cultivation of Competence
Creators: name: Baistow, Karen
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 1998

description: The starting point of this project is an interest in the social influence of psychology during the twentieth century. It differs from other analyses in that it focuses on behavioural psychology, examining its contribution to new ways of thinking about people and new ways of intervening in their lives in the name of social as well as individual improvement. Despite the demise of behaviourism and the controversy surrounding behaviour modification techniques, the last twenty years has seen a widespread increase in their use in non-clinical settings for non-clinical problems, most controversially in residential institutions. However, over the last two decades their use has extended into the "well community" as solutions to a range of individual and family problems and it is these that form the focus of the thesis. Drawing conceptually and methodologically on Foucauldian analyses of the human sciences and "government", the study aims to account for these expansions by examining the formation and conditions of existence of behavioural discourses on social improvement, by documenting the recent and current uses of behavioural approaches in the field of child and family welfare, and considering the implications of these for the government of the social. Analysing textual and interview sources, I show how changing internal and external conditions of behavioural discourse and practice have made possible these expansions. In particular I trace the contribution of behavioural discourses on locus of control to current emphases on empowerment. In conclusion, I argue that behavioural approaches have a number of characteristics that enable them to fit reciprocally with changing economic, organisational and ethical conditions and that recent deployments of behavioural approaches point not so much to the decline of the social as a domain to be governed, but to transformations in the way that is it is configured, which continue to connect the improvement of society with the improvement of the individual.

description: Shifts in tree species distributions caused by climatic change are expected to cause severe losses in the economic value of European forestland. However, this projection disregards potential adaptation options such as tree species conversion, shorter production periods, or establishment of mixed species forests. The effect of tree species mixture has, as yet, not been quantitatively investigated for its potential to mitigate future increases in production risks. For the first time we use survival time analysis to assess the effects of climate, species mixture and soil condition on survival probabilities for Norway spruce and European beech. Accelerated Failure Time (AFT) models based on an extensive dataset of almost 30,000 trees from the European Forest Damage Survey (FDS) – part of the European-wide Level I monitoring network – predicted a 24% decrease in survival probability for Norway spruce in pure stands at age 120 when unfavorable changes in climate conditions were assumed. Increasing species admixture greatly reduced the negative effects of unfavorable climate conditions, resulting in a decline in survival probabilities of only 7 %. We conclude that future studies of forest management under climate change as well as forest policy measures need to take this, as yet unconsidered, strongly advantageous effect of tree species mixture into account.

description: Semantic change detection (SCD) extends the multi-class change detection (MCD) task to provide not only the change locations but also the detailed land-cover/land-use (LCLU) categories before and after the observation intervals. This fine-grained semantic change information is very useful in many applications. Recent studies indicate that the SCD can be modeled through a triple-branch Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), which contains two temporal branches and a change branch. However, in this architecture, the communications between the temporal branches and the change branch are insufficient. To overcome the limitations in existing methods, we propose a novel CNN architecture for the SCD, where the semantic temporal features are merged in a deep CD unit. Furthermore, we elaborate on this architecture to reason the bi-temporal semantic correlations. The resulting Bi-temporal Semantic Reasoning Network (Bi-SRNet) contains two types of semantic reasoning blocks to reason both single-temporal and cross-temporal semantic correlations, as well as a novel loss function to improve the semantic consistency of change detection results. Experimental results on a benchmark dataset show that the proposed architecture obtains significant accuracy improvements over the existing approaches, while the added designs in the Bi-SRNet further improves the segmentation of both semantic categories and the changed areas. The codes in this paper are accessible at: github.com/ggsDing/Bi-SRNet.

description: The drivers behind regional differences of SARS-CoV-2 spread on finer spatio-temporal scales are yet to be fully understood. Here we develop a data-driven modelling approach based on an age-structured compartmental model that compares 116 Austrian regions to a suitably chosen control set of regions to explain variations in local transmission rates through a combination of meteorological factors, non-pharmaceutical interventions and mobility. We find that more than 60% of the observed regional variations can be explained by these factors. Decreasing temperature and humidity, increasing cloudiness, precipitation and the absence of mitigation measures for public events are the strongest drivers for increased virus transmission, leading in combination to a doubling of the transmission rates compared to regions with more favourable weather. We conjecture that regions with little mitigation measures for large events that experience shifts toward unfavourable weather conditions are particularly predisposed as nucleation points for the next seasonal SARS-CoV-2 waves.

description: Twisted heterostructures of two-dimensional crystals offer almost unlimited scope for the design of novel metamaterials. Here we demonstrate a room-temperature ferroelectric semiconductor that is assembled using mono- or few- layer MoS2. These van der Waals heterostructures feature broken inversion symmetry, which, together with the asymmetry of atomic arrangement at the interface of two 2D crystals, enables ferroelectric domains with alternating out-of-plane polarisation arranged into a twist-controlled network. The latter can be moved by applying out-of-plane electrical fields, as visualized in situ using channelling contrast electron microscopy. The interfacial charge transfer for the observed ferroelectric domains is quantified using Kelvin probe force microscopy and agrees well with theoretical calculations. The movement of domain walls and their bending rigidity also agrees well with our modelling results. Furthermore, we demonstrate proof-of-principle field-effect transistors, where the channel resistance exhibits a pronounced hysteresis governed by pinning of ferroelectric domain walls. Our results show a potential venue towards room temperature electronic and optoelectronic semiconductor devices with built-in ferroelectric memory functions.

description: Radio interferometric experiments aim to constrain the reionization model parameters by measuring the 21-cm signal statistics, primarily the power spectrum. However the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) 21-cm signal is highly non-Gaussian, and this non-Gaussianity encodes important information about this era. The bispectrum is the lowest order statistic able to capture this inherent non-Gaussianity. Here we are the first to demonstrate that bispectra for large and intermediate length scales and for all unique $k$-triangle shapes provide tighter constraints on the EoR parameters compared to the power spectrum or the bispectra for a limited number of shapes of $k$-triangles. We use the Bayesian inference technique to constrain EoR parameters. We have also developed an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) based emulator for the EoR 21-cm power spectrum and bispectrum which we use to remarkably speed up our parameter inference pipeline. Here we have considered the sample variance and the system noise uncertainties corresponding to $1000$ hrs of SKA-Low observations for estimating errors in the signal statistics. We find that using all unique $k$-triangle bispectra improves the constraints on parameters by a factor of $2-4$ (depending on the stage of reionization) over the constraints that are obtained using power spectrum alone.

description: Majority models of remote sensing image changing detection can only get great effect in a specific resolution data set. With the purpose of improving change detection effectiveness of the model in the multi-resolution data set, a weighted rich-scale inception coder network (WRICNet) is proposed in this article, which can make a great fusion of shallow multi-scale features, and deep multi-scale features. The weighted rich-scale inception module of the proposed can obtain shallow multi-scale features, the weighted rich-scale coder module can obtain deep multi-scale features. The weighted scale block assigns appropriate weights to features of different scales, which can strengthen expressive ability of the edge of the changing area. The performance experiments on the multi-resolution data set demonstrate that, compared to the comparative methods, the proposed can further reduce the false alarm outside the change area, and the missed alarm in the change area, besides, the edge of the change area is more accurate. The ablation study of the proposed shows that the training strategy, and improvements of this article can improve the effectiveness of change detection.

description: Despite research on the health and safety of mobile and migrant populations in the formal and informal sectors globally, limited information is available regarding the working conditions, health, and safety of sex workers who engage in short-term mobility and migration. The objective of this study was to longitudinally examine work environment, health and safety experiences linked to short-term mobility/migration (i.e., worked or lived in another city, province or country) among sex workers in Vancouver, Canada, over a two-and-a-half year study period (2010-2012). We examined longitudinal correlates of short-term mobility/migration (i.e., worked or lived in another city, province or country over the three-year follow-up period) among 646 street and off-street sex workers in a longitudinal community-based study (AESHA). Of 646 sex workers, 10.84% (n=70) worked or lived in another city, province or country during study. In a multivariate GEE model, short-term mobility/migration was independently correlated with older age (Adjusted Odds Ratio (AOR): 0.95, 95% Confidence Interval (CI): 0.92-0.98), soliciting clients in indoor (in-call) establishments (AOR: 2.25, 95% CI: 1.27-3.96), intimate partner condom refusal (AOR: 3.00, 1.02-8.84) and barriers to health care (AOR: 1.77, 95% CI: 1.08-2.89). In a second multivariate GEE model, short-term mobility for sex work (i.e., worked in another city, province or country) was correlated with client physical/sexual violence (AOR: 1.92, 95% CI: 1.02-3.61). In this study, mobile/migrant sex workers were more likely to be younger, work in indoor sex work establishments, and earn higher income, suggesting that short-term mobility for sex work and migration increase social and economic opportunities. However, mobility and migration also correlated with reduced control over sexual negotiation with intimate partners and reduced health care access, and mobility for sex work was associated with enhanced workplace sexual/physical violence, suggesting that mobility/migration may confer risks through less control over work environment and isolation from health services. Structural and community-led interventions, including policy support to allow for more formal organizing of sex work collectives and access to workplace safety standards, remain critical to supporting health, safety and access to care for mobile and migrant sex workers.
Paper trailblazers: investigating democracy in 'All the president's men'
Creators: name: Heller-Nicholas, Alexandra
Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: All The President's Men ( Alan J Pakula, 1976) is a gritty, realistic political thriller that seeks to fictionally document one of the most notorious political scandals of the twentieth century. Focusing on the investigation that led to the shameful resignation of President Richard Nixon on 9 August 1974, it follows the work of the two journalists responsible for exposing the so-called Watergate scandal. But despite its sombre mood, by focusing on the determination of these two journalists the film ultimately celebrates the very system of government that it appears to call into question, emphasising their success in the face of overwhelming political corruption. That two normal Americans could bring down a corrupt administration speaks not of the flaws of the political system, but rather its strengths. From this perspective, All the President's Men can be best understood as a monument to democracy in action.

description: Maxwell's demon is the quintessential example of information control, which is necessary for designing quantum devices. In thermodynamics, the demon is an intelligent being who utilizes the entropic nature of information to sort excitations between reservoirs, thus lowering the total entropy. So far, implementations of Maxwell's demon have largely been limited to Markovian baths. In our work, we study the degree to which such a demon may be assisted by non-Markovian effects using a superconducting circuit platform. The setup is two baths connected by a demon-controlled qutrit interface, allowing the transfer of excitations only if the overall entropy of the two baths is lowered. The largest entropy reduction is achieved in a non-Markovian regime, and importantly, due to non-Markovian effects, the demon performance can be optimized through proper timing. Our results demonstrate that non-Markovian effects can be exploited to boost the information transfer rate in quantum Maxwell demons.

description: Damage or mortality from pathogens can reduce productivity of forest plantations, as well as significantly harm natural forest ecosystems. Genetic resistance within the host species is the first line of defense for tree species. Resistance breeding programs for the native fusiform rust and exotic (to North America) white pine blister rust diseases are two of the longest concerted efforts in forest trees, spanning more than 50 years. Advances in developing greater genetic resistance have been made in both pathosystems, but unique challenges and opportunities in each system translate to different approaches. Fusiform rust resistance programs have mainly emphasized complete resistance, while partial resistance plays a prominent role in white pine blister rust resistance programs. Advances in the development of molecular genetic tools now permit investigations in conifers and their associated rust pathogens. Good progress has been made in identifying resistant populations and understanding resistance in these pathosystems, and resistant stock is now being used extensively for reforestation and restoration. These programs represent great success stories brought to fruition by the long-term efforts. However, continued support will be needed to enhance the level and fully realize the potential of durable genetic resistance in these invaluable North American conifer species.

description: The generation of a two-octave supercontinuum from the visible to mid-infrared (700 - 2800 nm) in a non-silica graded-index multimode fiber is reported. The fiber design is based on a nanostructured core comprised of two types of drawn lead-bismuth-gallate glass rods with different refractive indices. This structure yields an effective parabolic index profile, an extended transmission window, and ten times increased nonlinearity when compared to silica fibers. Using femtosecond pulse pumping at wavelengths in both normal and anomalous dispersion regimes, a detailed study is carried out into the supercontinuum generating mechanisms and instabilities seeded by periodic self imaging. Significantly, suitable injection conditions in the high power regime are found to result in the output beam profile showing clear signatures of beam self-cleaning from nonlinear mode mixing. Experimental observations are interpreted using spatio-temporal 3+1D numerical simulations of the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation, and simulated spectra are in excellent agreement with experiment over the full two-octave spectral bandwidth. These results demonstrate a new pathway towards the generation of bright, ultrabroadband light sources in the mid-infrared.

description: We study a method to compute a topological phase factor of partition function for pure Chern-Simons theory incorporating the supersymmetric localization. We develop a regularization preserving supersymmetry and the topological phase appears as a result of the supersymmetric regularization. Applying this method to pure Chern-Simons theory on lens space we compute the background dependent phase factor coming from the Chern-Simons term. We confirm that the partition function computed in this method enjoys a couple of level rank dualities including the one recently proposed in arXiv:1607.07457 for all ranks and levels within our numerical calculation. We also present a phase factor with which the lens space partition function exhibits the perfect match between any level rank dual pair including the total phase.

description: A canonical description of a corotating solar wind high speed stream, in terms of velocity profile, would indicate three main regions:a stream interface or corotating interaction region characterized by a rapid flow speed increase and by compressive phenomena due to dynamical interaction between the fast wind flow and the slower ambient plasma;a fast wind plateau characterized by weak compressive phenomena and large amplitude fluctuations with a dominant Alfvénic character;a rarefaction region characterized by a decreasing trend of the flow speed and wind fluctuations dramatically reduced in amplitude and Alfvénic character, followed by the slow ambient wind. Interesting enough, in some cases the region where the severe reduction of these fluctuations takes place is remarkably short in time, of the order of minutes, and located at the flow velocity knee separating the fast wind plateau from the rarefaction region. The aim of this work is to investigate which are the physical mechanisms that might be at the origin of this phenomenon. We firstly looked for the presence of any tangential discontinuity which might inhibit the propagation of Alfvénic fluctuations from fast wind region to rarefaction region. The absence of a clear evidence for the presence of this discontinuity between these two regions led us to proceed with ion composition analysis for the corresponding solar wind, looking for any abrupt variation in minor ions parameters (as tracers of the source region) which might be linked to the phenomenon observed in the wind fluctuations. In the lack of a positive feedback from this analysis, we finally propose a mechanism based on interchange reconnection experienced by the field lines at the base of the corona, within the region separating the open field lines of the coronal hole, source of the fast wind, from the surrounding regions mainly characterized by closed field lines.

description: Critical test results in clinical laboratories are crucial for timely patient care, serving as indicators of potentially life-threatening conditions. Despite their importance, a notable heterogeneity in management practices exists globally. This study investigates the current practices of managing critical results at Danish clinical biochemistry laboratories and identifies areas prone for improvement. A comprehensive online survey was distributed to all 21 Danish clinical biochemistry laboratories regarding their critical result management, including documentation practices, critical limit selection, and quality assurance measures. A total of 17 laboratories (81%) responded. The answers revealed a generally uniform approach to managing critical results, with all laboratories having 24-h reporting, local instructions and using the telephone as communication channel. However, variations were noted in documentation practices and critical limit selection. Notably, 23.5% of the laboratories reported that one out of every ten critical results was not reported, indicating a significant risk of delayed critical results. This is further complicated by the limited use of predefined timeframes for reporting and also, only few laboratories actively monitored response times. The findings emphasize the need for more standardized documentation and evaluation practices to align with international standards and to enhance patient safety. While the laboratories showed a commitment to standardized procedures, the study emphasizes the necessity of a National or Nordic guideline to supplement the ISO 15189:2022. This study is a step towards optimizing critical result management, not only in Danish clinical biochemistry laboratories but also across various laboratory specialties, thereby improving overall laboratory quality, efficiency, and patient safety.

description: The average entanglement entropy (EE) of the energy eigenstates in non-vanishing partitions has been recently proposed as a diagnostic of integrability in quantum many-body systems. For it to be a faithful characterization of quantum integrability, it should distinguish quantum systems with a well-defined classical limit in the same way as the unequivocal classical integrability criteria. We examine the proposed diagnostic in the class of collective spin models characterized by permutation symmetry in the spins. The well-known Lipkin-Meshov-Glick (LMG) model is a paradigmatic integrable system in this class with a well-defined classical limit. Thus, this model is an excellent testbed for examining quantum integrability diagnostics. First, we calculate analytically the average EE of the Dicke basis $\{|j,m\rangle \}_{m=-j}^j$ in any non-vanishing bipartition, and show that in the thermodynamic limit, it converges to $1/2$ of the maximal EE in the corresponding bipartition. Using finite-size scaling, we numerically demonstrate that the aforementioned average EE in the thermodynamic limit is universal for all parameter values of the LMG model. Our analysis illustrates how a value of the average EE far away from the maximal in the thermodynamic limit could be a signature of integrability.

description: Placental growth factor (PlGF) and soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase 1 (sFlt-1) are biomarkers used for diagnosis and risk estimation of preeclampsia. Stability in room temperature (RT) may affect the usefulness of these analyses, as shipping at ambient temperature is the most practical and suitable way to ship samples. To date, scientific studies of such stability are lacking. We aimed to assess the stability of PlGF and sFlt-1 at RT in serum from pregnant women. In addition, a smaller study of stability at 4 °C was performed. Serum was collected from 69 pregnant women and stored at RT or at 4 °C for up to 192 h. Analytes were considered stable if the mean percent change ± 90 confidence interval of the mean was within the baseline concentration ± allowable bias. Allowable bias was calculated from data on biological variation. In addition, an instability equation was calculated to assess loss of stability, in line with recent European Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (EFLM) recommendations. The mean percent change was <3.5% for PlGF, <1% for sFlt-1 and <4.5% for sFlt-1/PlGF ratio up to 192 h. PlGF was considered stable for 168 h, and sFlt-1 and sFlt-1/PlGF ratios were considered stable for 192 h at RT. At 4 °C, PlGF was considered stable for 120 h, sFlt-1 for 168 h and sFlt-1/PlGF ratio for 120 h. Both PlGF and sFlt-1 as well as sFlt-1/PlGF ratio show sufficient stability (minimum 168 h) for samples to be shipped at RT.

description: Solid electrolytes are widely considered as the enabler of lithium metal anodes for safe, durable, and high energy density rechargeable lithium-ion batteries. Despite the promise, failure mechanisms associated with solid-state batteries are not well-established, largely due to limited understanding of the chemomechanical factors governing them. We focus on the recent developments in understanding solid-state aspects including the effects of mechanical stresses, constitutive relations, fracture, and void formation, and outline the gaps in the literature. We also provide an overview of the manufacturing and processing of solid-state batteries in relation to chemomechanics. The gaps identified provide concrete directions towards the rational design and development of failure-resistant solid-state batteries.

description: Glycated albumin (GA) reflects glycemic status for the past three weeks. GA level demonstrates a strong correlation with HbA1c level and is used as an adjunctive biomarker for diagnosis and monitoring of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In this study, we validated the predictive performance of baseline GA for development of T2DM in healthy individuals in Korea. From August 2013 to September 2014, the medical records of 3,771 healthy Koreans were retrospectively reviewed. Each participant was categorized into tertiles based on initial GA level. During the follow-up period through May 2020, study participants were evaluated for T2DM using HbA1c, fasting glucose level, and a self-reported diagnosis history. Baseline GA level by tertile (T1 to T3) was 10.4 ± 0.8% (mean ± SD), 12.1 ± 0.3%, and 13.7 ± 0.9%, respectively. The median follow-up was 5.97 years, during which 4.9% (186 of 3,771) of the participants developed T2DM. After adjusting for confounding factors, the hazard ratio for the development of T2DM in the highest GA level group (T3) compared to the reference group (T1) was 2.46 (95% CI, 1.7 to 3.58, p < 0.001 for trend) with a Harrell’s C index of 0.80 (95% CI, 0.76 to 0.83). Also, within highest group of baseline HbA1c and FG levels, higher GA levels were associated with an increased HRs for T2DM. In conclusion, Our study confirms that the risk of T2DM increases with baseline GA level. Additional follow-up of the cohort is warranted to investigate the correlations between GA and other clinical indicators including diabetic complications.

description: Artificial neural networks use a lot of coefficients that take a great deal of computing power for their adjustment, especially if deep learning networks are employed. However, there exist coefficients-free extremely fast indexing-based technologies that work, for instance, in Google search engines, in genome sequencing, etc. The paper discusses the use of indexing-based methods for pattern recognition. It is shown that for pattern recognition applications such indexing methods replace with inverse patterns the fully inverted files, which are typically employed in search engines. Not only such inversion provide automatic feature extraction, which is a distinguishing mark of deep learning, but, unlike deep learning, pattern inversion supports almost instantaneous learning, which is a consequence of absence of coefficients. The paper discusses a pattern inversion formalism that makes use on a novel pattern transform and its application for unsupervised instant learning. Examples demonstrate a view-angle independent recognition of three-dimensional objects, such as cars, against arbitrary background, prediction of remaining useful life of aircraft engines, and other applications. In conclusion, it is noted that, in neurophysiology, the function of the neocortical mini-column has been widely debated since 1957. This paper hypothesize that, mathematically, the cortical mini-column can be described as an inverse pattern, which physically serves as a connection multiplier expanding associations of inputs with relevant pattern classes.
