description: Deep learning (DL) strategies have recently been utilized to diagnose motor faults by simply analyzing motor phase current signals, offering a less costly and non-intrusive alternative to vibration sensors. This research transforms these time-series current signals into time-frequency 2D representations via Wavelet Transform (WT). The dataset for motor current signals includes 3,750 data points across five categories: one representing normal conditions and four representing artificially induced faults, each under five different load conditions: 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%. The study employs five WT-based techniques: WT-Amor, WT-Bump, WT-Morse, WSST-Amor, and WSST-Bump. Subsequently, five DL models adopting prior Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture were developed and tested using the transformed 2D plots from each method. The DL models for WT-Amor, WT-Bump, and WT-Morse showed remarkable effectiveness with peak model accuracy of 90.93, 89.20, and 93.73%, respectively, surpassing previous 2D-image-based methods that recorded accuracy of 80.25, 74.80, and 82.80% respectively using the identical dataset and validation protocol. Notably, the WT-Morse approach slightly exceeded the formerly highest ML technique, achieving a 93.20% accuracy. However, the two WSST methods that utilized synchrosqueezing techniques faced difficulty accurately classifying motor faults. The performance of Wavelet-based deep learning methods offers a compelling alternative for machine condition monitoring.

description: In motor condition diagnosis, electrical current signature serves as an alternative feature to vibration-based sensor data, which is a more expensive and invasive method. Machine learning (ML) techniques have been emerging in diagnosing motor conditions using only motor phase current signals. This study converts time-series motor current signals to time-frequency 2D plots using Short-time Fourier Transform (STFT) methods. The motor current signal dataset consists of 3,750 sample points with five classes - one healthy and four synthetically-applied motor fault conditions, and with five loading conditions: 0, 25, 50, 75, and 100%. Five transformation methods are used on the dataset: non-overlap and overlap STFTs, non-overlap and overlap realigned STFTs, and synchrosqueezed STFT. Then, deep learning (DL) models based on the previous Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architecture are trained and validated from generated plots of each method. The DL models of overlap-STFT, overlap R-STFT, non-overlap STFT, non-overlap R-STFT, and synchrosqueezed-STFT performed exceptionally with an average accuracy of 97.65, 96.03, 96.08, 96.32, and 88.27%, respectively. Four methods outperformed the previous best ML method with 93.20% accuracy, while all five outperformed previous 2D-plot-based methods with accuracy of 80.25, 74.80, and 82.80%, respectively, using the same dataset, same DL architecture, and validation steps.

A new criterion for the existence of KdV solitons in ferromagnets
Creators: name: Leblond, Herve
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Pattern Formation and Solitons (nlin.PS)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The long-time evolution of the KdV-type solitons propagating in ferromagnetic materials is considered trough a multi-time formalism, it is governed by all equations of the KdV Hierarchy. The scaling coefficients of the higher order time variables are explicitly computed in terms of the physical parameters, showing that the KdV asymptotic is valid only when the angle between the propagation direction and the external magnetic field is large enough. The one-soliton solution of the KdV hierarchy is written down in terms of the physical parameters. A maximum value of the soliton parameter is determined, above which the perturbative approach is not valid. Below this value, the KdV soliton conserves its properties during an infinite propagation time.

description: BTA (Boring and Trepanning Association) deep hole drilling is a widely applied cutting method to manufacture or process bores. In this thesis, numerical simulations with Finite Element Method for the determination of eigenfrequencies of a BTA deep drilling machine in real boundary and working conditions are executed with Ansys Workbench in order to study dynamic disturbance during deep hole drilling processes. The pre-stressed modal analysis gives the information regarding varying dominant eigenmodes and the corresponding critical locations on the boring bar of BTA tool with different drilling depths. To prevent chatter vibration and spiralling during the deep hole drilling process, a real-time monitoring of varying system dynamics would be recommended and the results from the simulation are considered as reliable references in this case. Furthermore, the influences of the one-way Fluid-Structure Interaction, drilling-depth dependent values of boundary conditions and material damping effect are proven not to be neglected comparing to the influence of mechanical loads on BTA tool head in modal analysis.

description: Two binary neutron star mergers, GW170817 and GW190425, have been detected by Advanced LIGO and Virgo. These signals were detected by matched-filter searches that assume the star's orbit has circularized by the time their gravitational-wave emission is observable. This suggests that their eccentricity is low, but full parameter estimation of their eccentricity has not yet been performed. We use gravitational-wave observations to measure the eccentricity of GW170817 and GW190425. We find that the eccentricity at a gravitational-wave frequency of 10 Hz is $e \leq 0.024$ and $e \leq 0.048$ for GW170817 and GW190425, respectively (90% confidence). This is consistent with the binaries being formed in the field, as such systems are expected to have circularized to $e \leq 10^{-4}$ by the time they reach the LIGO-Virgo band. Our constraint is a factor of two smaller that an estimate based on GW170817 being detected by searches that neglect eccentricity. However, we caution that we find significant prior dependence in our limits, suggesting that there is limited information in the signals. We note that other techniques used to constrain binary neutron star eccentricity without full parameter estimation may miss degeneracies in the waveform, and that for future signals it will be important to perform full parameter estimation with accurate waveform templates.

title: Information Seeking from Web-Based Resources: Sensemaking Strategies and Implications for Interaction Design
Creators: name: Abraham, Ann
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2013

description: The internet has made an enormous volume of information available, and there has been substantial research into how users look for information. However, there has been much less research about how they make sense of what they find, and how sensemaking is shaped by the tasks they are trying to achieve. This research addresses that gap, with empirical studies of sensemaking during web-based information tasks. Two main studies are presented, which aimed to expose the relationship between information seeking and information comprehension and use. The first study explored the actions of experienced information processors (in this case, doctoral students) as they undertook research-related web-based tasks related to their own work. The second study observed experienced users as they undertook an unfamiliar topic comprehension task. In both studies participants were encouraged to ‘think-aloud’ as they completed web-based tasks. Audio-recording was used in Study-1 with video-recording in Study-2. In addition to the task session, background questionnaires and sample interviews were applied. A detailed, iterative inductive analysis was undertaken for each study. The analysis produced a framework that models the users’ process in terms of five categories of information interactions: seeking, evaluating for selection, evaluating for use, compilation, and planning. A range of visual representations were developed to capture the user sessions, expressing facets such as how resources were used over time and in combination, and the sequences of user behaviours. Attention was given to the use of representation throughout this process. Sensemaking goals and strategies were inferred from users’ behaviours and utterances, and were related to their activity and output. The intertwined nature of information seeking and sensemaking activity was revealed, and planning (not addressed in previous literature) was identified as a significant behaviour that drives strategy and binds the other behaviours to the task-in-hand. These findings have implications for interaction design and for tools to support sensemaking.

Abstract
Liposomal irinotecan (nal-IRI; Onivyde®; also known as pegylated liposomal irinotecan) has been developed with the aim of maximising anti-tumour efficacy while minimising drug-related toxicities compared with the conventional (non-liposomal) formulation of this topoisomerase 1 inhibitor. In combination with 5-fluorouracil and leucovorin (5-FU/LV), nal-IRI is the first agent to be specifically approved for use in patients with metastatic pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (mPDAC) who have progressed following gemcitabine-based therapy. In the pivotal, phase III NAPOLI-1 trial, intravenous administration of nal-IRI + 5-FU/LV to gemcitabine-pretreated patients with mPDAC (as a second-line treatment in approximately two-thirds of cases) was associated with a significant ≈ 2-month median overall survival advantage compared with 5-FU/LV alone. Moreover, adding nal-IRI to 5-FU/LV extended survival with a manageable safety profile and without adversely affecting health-related quality of life, thereby producing significant and clinically meaningful gains in quality-adjusted survival relative to 5-FU/LV alone. Complementing the observed efficacy and safety of nal-IRI in NAPOLI-1 are an increasing number of real-world studies, which provide evidence of the effectiveness of this combination therapy in the treatment of mPDAC that has progressed following gemcitabine-based therapy in contemporary clinical practice in Europe, the USA and East Asia. Thus, nal-IRI, in combination with 5-FU/LV, is the first regimen specifically approved for use as a second- or subsequent-line therapy in gemcitabine-pretreated patients with mPDAC and, as such, represents a valuable treatment option in this setting.

The tidally disturbed luminous compact blue galaxy Mkn 1087 and its surroundings

description: We present new broad-band optical and near-infrared CCD imaging together with deep optical intermediate-resolution spectroscopy of Mkn 1087 and its surrounding objects. We analyze the morphology and colors of the stellar populations of the brightest objects, some of them star-formation areas, as well as the kinematics, physical conditions and chemical composition of the ionized gas associated with them. Mkn 1087 does not host an Active Galactic Nucleus, but it could be a Luminous Compact Blue Galaxy. Although it was classified as a suspected Wolf-Rayet galaxy, we do not detect the spectral features of these sort of massive stars. Mkn 1087 shows morphological and kinematical features that can be explained assuming that it is in interaction with two nearby galaxies: the bright KPG 103a and a dwarf ($M_B\sim-18$) star-forming companion. We argue that this dwarf companion is not a tidal object but an external galaxy because of its low metallicity [12+log(O/H) = 8.24] with respect to the one derived for Mkn 1087 [12+log(O/H) = 8.57] and its kinematics. Some of the non-stellar objects surrounding Mkn 1087 are connected by bridges of matter with the main body, host star-formation events and show similar abundances despite their different angular distances. These facts, together their kinematics, suggest that they are tidal dwarf galaxies formed from material stripped from Mkn 1087. A bright star-forming region at the south of Mkn 1087 (knot #7) does not show indications of being a tidal galaxy or the product of a merging process as suggested in previous works. We argue that Mkn 1087 and its surroundings should be considered a group of galaxies.

Data-driven medium-range weather prediction with a Resnet pretrained on climate simulations: A new model for WeatherBench
Creators: name: Rasp, Stephan

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Atmospheric and Oceanic Physics (physics.ao-ph)

description: Numerical weather prediction has traditionally been based on physical models of the atmosphere. Recently, however, the rise of deep learning has created increased interest in purely data-driven medium-range weather forecasting with first studies exploring the feasibility of such an approach. To accelerate progress in this area, the WeatherBench benchmark challenge was defined. Here, we train a deep residual convolutional neural network (Resnet) to predict geopotential, temperature and precipitation at 5.625 degree resolution up to 5 days ahead. To avoid overfitting and improve forecast skill, we pretrain the model using historical climate model output before fine-tuning on reanalysis data. The resulting forecasts outperform previous submissions to WeatherBench and are comparable in skill to a physical baseline at similar resolution. We also analyze how the neural network creates its predictions and find that, with some exceptions, it is compatible with physical reasoning. Finally, we perform scaling experiments to estimate the potential skill of data-driven approaches at higher resolutions.

description: For a higher order linear ordinary differential operator P, its Stokes curve bifurcates in general when it hits another turning point of P. This phenomenon is most neatly understandable by taking into account Stokes curves emanating from virtual turning points, together with those from ordinary turning points. This understanding of the bifurcation of a Stokes curve plays an important role in resolving a paradox recently found in the Noumi-Yamada system, a system of linear differential equations associated with the fourth Painleve equation.

Transnational social fields : a case study of post-socialist Bulgarian immigrants in Vancouver
Creators: name: Gadjalova, Tatiana
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: In this thesis I present a study of Bulgarian immigrants who arrived in Vancouver after the fall of the ’Iron Curtain’ in 1989. I conducted my fieldwork from the summer of 2004 to the fall of 2005 in both Bulgaria and in Canada. Although the study presented me with numerous themes that speak of a transnational lifestyle, what struck me the most was the need of the Bulgarian immigrants to create new spaces and locales that reflect and reinforce their true identities, something they can call home. I am searching to clarify how the embodiment of the so-called transnational identity is lived and how it is taking shape in the age of post-socialism. For this purpose I have chosen to focus in particular on the production of transnational social spaces in the case of the Bulgarian Heritage Language School in Vancouver. I explore two instances of the production of public social space, which relate to transnational Bulgarian ethnicity. The analysis of these case studies reveals how particular locales are produced by authorized representatives of transnational social groups and how at the same time these concrete social spaces reaffirm the authority of the speakers within their respective habitus. As proposed by transnational theorists like Peggy Levitt and Nina Glick Schiller, I apply Pierre Bourdieu’s theory of social space, making use of his concept of habitus, and complement it with Henri Lefebvre’s theory of the social production of physical spaces. By combining these theories in the analysis of the two events I am outlining the specific features of Bulgarian ethnic habitus which is shaped by, but also is continuously shaping, Bulgarian transnational identity.

description: In this paper, we consider the problem of the scattering of in-plane waves at an interface between a homogeneous medium and a metamaterial. The relevant eigenmodes in the two regions are calculated by solving a recently described non self-adjoint eigenvalue problem particularly suited to scattering studies. The method efficiently produces all propagating and evanescent modes consistent with the application of Snell's law and is applicable to very general scattering problems. In a model composite, we elucidate the emergence of a rich spectrum of eigenvalue degeneracies. These degeneracies appear in both the complex and real domains of the wave-vector. However, since this problem is non self-adjoint, these degeneracies generally represent a coalescing of both the eigenvalues and eigenvectors (exceptional points). Through explicit calculations of Poynting vector, we point out an intriguing phenomenon: there always appears to be an abrupt change in the sign of the refraction angle of the wave on two sides of an exceptional point. Furthermore, the presence of these degeneracies, in some cases, hints at fast changes in the scattered field as the incident angle is changed by small amounts. We calculate these scattered fields through a novel application of the Betti-Rayleigh reciprocity theorem. We present several numerical examples showing a rich scattering spectrum. In one particularly intriguing example, we point out wave behavior which may be related to the phenomenon of resonance trapping. We also show that there exists a deep connection between energy flux conservation and the biorthogonality relationship of the non self-adjoint problem. The proof applies to the general class of scattering problems involving elastic waves (under self-adjoint or non self-adjoint operators).
Excitation of Disk Oscillations by Warps: A Model of kHz QPOs
Creators: name: Kato, Shoji
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The amplification of disk oscillations resulting from non-linear resonant couplings between the oscillations and a warp is examined. The disks are geometrically thin and general relativistic with non-rotating central objects. By using a Lagrangian formulation, a general stability criterion is derived. The criterion is applied to horizontal and vertical resonances of g-mode oscillations and to horizontal resonances of p-mode oscillations. The results of analyses show that g-mode oscillations (including p-mode oscillations of $n=0$) are amplified by horizontal resonances with the warp. Other modes of oscillations with other resonances are all damped by resonances. The amplified g-mode oscillations are located around the radius $4r_{\rm g}$, the radius of the epicyclic frequency being maximum, i.e., $κ_{\rm max}$. The frequencies of amplified oscillations are harmonics of $κ_{\rm max}$, and well explain the 2 : 3 pairs of observed QPOs for reasonable masses (and spins) of the central objects.

title: Topics in Transcendental Dynamics
Creators: name: Sixsmith, David
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2013

description: We study the iteration of a transcendental entire function, f; in particular, the fast escaping set, A(f). This set consists of points that iterate to infinity as fast as possible, and plays a significant role in transcendental dynamics. First we investigate functions for which A(f) has a structure called a spider's web. We construct several new classes of function with this property. We show that some of these classes have a degree of stability under changes in the function, and that new examples of functions with this property can be constructed by composition, by differentiation, and by integration of existing examples. We use a property of spiders' webs to give new results concerning functions with no unbounded Fatou components. When A(f) is a spider's web, it contains a sequence of fundamental loops. We next explore the structure of these fundamental loops for functions with a multiply connected Fatou component, and show that there exist functions for which some fundamental loops are analytic curves and approximately circles, while others are geometrically highly distorted. We do this by introducing a real-valued function which measures the rate of escape of points in A(f), and show that this function has a number of interesting properties. Next we study functions with a simply connected Fatou component in A(f). We give an example of a function with this property, which - in contrast to the only other known functions of this type - has no multiply connected Fatou components. To do this we also prove a new criterion for points to be in A(f). Finally, we investigate the much studied Eremenko-Lyubich class of transcendental entire functions with a bounded set of singular values. We give a new characterisation of this class, and a new result regarding direct singularities which are not logarithmic.

description: The aim of the study was to assess the presentation of certificates of origin of the energy from renewable energy sources in relation to the position of CRS. An analysis of financial reports of selected energy producers was performed. These companies draw up financial statements on the basis of regulations of IFRS. The certificates of origin of the energy from renewable energy sources have the specific characteristics of intangible assets; however, the provisions of the balance sheet law preclude the recognition of an asset in the balance sheet, while the interpretation of IFRS allows for such recognition. In practice, the companies drawing up financial reports according to the regulations of IFRS, present the certificates of origin of the energy from renewable energy sources in a variety of ways. As a result, there is no uniform approach to identification and presentation of this asset in the balance sheets of companies.
A synchronous moon as a possible cause of Mars' initial triaxiality
Creators: name: Efroimsky, Michael
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The paper addresses the possibility of a young Mars having had a massive moon, which synchronised the rotation of Mars, and gave Mars an initial asymmetric triaxiality to be later boosted by geological processes. It turns out that a moon of less than a third of the lunar mass was capable of producing a sufficient initial triaxiality. The asymmetry of the initial tidal shape of the equator depends on timing: the initial asymmetry is much stronger if the synchronous moon shows up already at the magma-ocean stage. From the moment of synchronisation of Mars' rotation with the moon's orbital motion, and until the moon was eliminated (as one possibility, by an impact in the beginning of the LHB), the moon was sustaining an early value of Mars' rotation rate.

Therefore, the aim of this paper is to provide employees as key stakeholders of each company in the context of CSR as an example of respondents traders from rural areas of Malopolska. Research on the opinions of entrepreneurs on the above concepts have been carried out at the turn of 2014 and 2015, included 182 micro (0-9 persons), small (10-49 employees) and medium (50-249 employees) enterprises agribusiness engaged in business activities in rural areas Małopolska. The results showed that, compared to the internal stakeholder, what are the staff agribusiness surveyed companies have developed virtually no policy, such as appraisal system, rewards and promotions.

description: In measurements of small signals using spin precession the precession angle usually grows linearly in time. We show that non-linear interactions between particles can lead to an exponentially growing spin precession angle, resulting in an amplification of small signals and raising them above the noise level of a detection system. We demonstrate amplification by a factor of greater than 8 of a spin precession signal due to a small magnetic field gradient in a spherical cell filled with hyperpolarized liquid $^{129}$Xe. This technique can improve the sensitivity in many measurements that are limited by the noise of the detection system, rather then the fundamental spin-projection noise.

description: An important yet largely unsolved problem in the statistical mechanics of disordered quantum systems is to understand how quenched disorder affects quantum phase transitions in systems of itinerant fermions. In the clean limit, continuous quantum phase transitions of the symmetry-breaking type in Dirac materials such as graphene and the surfaces of topological insulators are described by relativistic (2+1)-dimensional quantum field theories of the Gross-Neveu-Yukawa (GNY) type. We study the universal critical properties of the chiral Ising, XY, and Heisenberg GNY models perturbed by quenched random-mass disorder, both uncorrelated or with long-range power-law correlations. Using the replica method combined with a controlled triple epsilon expansion below four dimensions, we find a variety of new finite-randomness critical and multicritical points with nonzero Yukawa coupling between low-energy Dirac fields and bosonic order parameter fluctuations, and compute their universal critical exponents. Analyzing bifurcations of the renormalization-group flow, we find instances of the fixed-point annihilation scenario---continuously tuned by the power-law exponent of long-range disorder correlations and associated with an exponentially large crossover length---as well as the transcritical bifurcation and the supercritical Hopf bifurcation. The latter is accompanied by the birth of a stable limit cycle on the critical hypersurface, which represents the first instance of fermionic quantum criticality with emergent discrete scale invariance.

Confusion Noise from LISA Capture Sources

description: Captures of compact objects (COs) by massive black holes (MBHs) in galactic nuclei will be an important source for LISA, the space-based gravitational-wave (GW) detector. However, a large fraction of captures will not be individually resolvable--either because they are too distant, have unfavorable orientation, or have too many years to go before final plunge--and so will constitute a source of ``confusion noise,'' obscuring other types of sources. Here we estimate the shape and overall magnitude of the spectrum of confusion noise from CO captures. The overall magnitude depends on the capture rates, which are rather uncertain, so we present results for a plausible range of rates. We show that the impact of capture confusion noise on the total LISA noise curve ranges from insignificant to modest, depending on these rates. Capture rates at the high end of estimated ranges would raise LISA's overall (effective) noise level by at most a factor \sim 2. While this slightly elevated noise level would somewhat decrease LISA's sensitivity to other classes of sources, overall, this would be a pleasant problem for LISA to have: It would also imply that detection rates for CO captures were at nearly their maximum possible levels (given LISA's baseline design). This paper includes several other results that should be useful in further studies of LISA capture sources, including (i) a calculation of the total GW energy output from generic inspirals into Kerr MBHs, and (ii) an approximate GW energy spectrum for a typical capture.

description: Carrollian field theories have recently emerged as a candidate dual to flat space quantum gravity. We carefully quantize simple two-derivative Carrollian theories, revealing a strong sensitivity to the ultraviolet. They can be regulated upon being placed on a spatial lattice and working at finite inverse temperature. Unlike in conventional field theories, the details of the lattice-regulated Carrollian theories remain important at long distances even in the limit that the lattice spacing is sent to zero. We use that limit to define interacting continuum models with a tractable perturbative expansion. The ensuing theories are those of generalized free fields, with non-Gaussian correlations suppressed by positive powers of the lattice spacing, and an unbroken supertranslation symmetry.

description: For patients with metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors are limited to patients with RAS wild-type tumours. Not all patients will benefit from treatment and better predictive biomarkers are needed. Here we investigated the prognostic and predictive impact of the EGFR ligands amphiregulin (AREG) and epiregulin (EREG). Expression levels were assessed by immunohistochemistry on 99 KRAS wild-type tumours. AREG and EREG positivity was seen in 49% and 50% of cases, respectively. No difference in expression was observed by primary tumour side. There was no significant difference in OS by AREG or EREG expression. In the subset of patients who received an EGFR inhibitor, EREG positivity was associated with longer OS (median 34.0 vs. 27.0 months, p = 0.033), driven by a difference in patients with a left-sided primary (HR 0.37, p = 0.015). Our study supports further investigation into EREG as a predictive biomarker in mCRC.
Minimal supersymmetric SO(10) GUT with doublet Higgs

description: We propose a simple supersymmetric SO(10) GUT model with only doublet Higgs scalars. The fermion mass problem is naturally solved by a new one-loop diagram. R-parity is conserved implying a stable LSP which can explain the dark matter of the universe. There are two contributions to the neutrino masses, one of which depends on the quark mass squared while the other is independent and similar to the type II see-saw mechanism. In the latter case $b-τ$ unification implies large neutrino mixing angles. The baryon asymmetry of the universe is explained through leptogenesis.

description: The HERON project is aimed at studying halos and low surface brightness details near galaxies. In this second HERON paper we consider in detail deep imaging (down to surface brightness of ~28 mag/arcsec$^2$ in the r band) for 35 galaxies, viewed edge-on. We confirm a range of low surface brightness features previously described in the literature but also report new ones. We classify the observed outer shapes of the galaxies into three main types (and their prototypes): disc/diamond-like (NGC891), oval (NGC4302), and boxy (NGC3628). We show that the shape of the outer disc in galaxies does not often follow the general 3D model of an exponential disc: 17 galaxies in our sample exhibit oval or even boxy isophotes at the periphery. Also, we show that the less flattened the outer disc is, the more oval or boxy its structure. Many galaxies in our sample have an asymmetric outer structure. We propose that the observed diversity of the galaxy outer shapes is defined by the merger history and its intensity: if no recent multiple minor or single major merging took place, the outer shape is diamond-like or discy. On the contrary, interacting galaxies show oval outer shapes, whereas recent merging appears to transform the outer shape to boxy.
