description: We analyze a suite of thin sheet magnetohydrodynamical simulations based on the formulation of Basu, Ciolek, Dapp & Wurster. These simulations allow us to examine the observational consequences to a star-forming region of varying the input level of turbulence (between thermal and a Mach number of 4) and the initial magnetic field strength corresponding to a range of mass to flux ratios between subcritical (mu_0=0.5) and supercritical (mu_0=10). The input turbulence is allowed to decay over the duration of the simulation. We compare the measured observable quantities with those found from surveying the Perseus molecular cloud. We find that only the most turbulent of simulations (high Mach number and weak magnetic field) have sufficient large-scale velocity dispersion (at ~1 pc) to match that observed across extinction regions in Perseus. Generally, the simulated core (~0.02 pc) and line of sight velocity dispersions provide a decent match to observations. The motion between the simulated core and its local environment, however, is far too large in simulations with high large-scale velocity dispersion.

description: Recent advances in Internet of Things (IoT) technologies and the reduction in the cost of sensors have encouraged the development of smart environments, such as smart homes. Smart homes can offer home assistance services to improve the quality of life, autonomy and health of their residents, especially for the elderly and dependent. To provide such services, a smart home must be able to understand the daily activities of its residents. Techniques for recognizing human activity in smart homes are advancing daily. But new challenges are emerging every day. In this paper, we present recent algorithms, works, challenges and taxonomy of the field of human activity recognition in a smart home through ambient sensors. Moreover, since activity recognition in smart homes is a young field, we raise specific problems, missing and needed contributions. But also propose directions, research opportunities and solutions to accelerate advances in this field.

Adolescent socialization : some problems of incumbency
Creators: name: Cleaves, Deanna Pauline
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The following thesis takes as its data transcripts that were made from tape-recordings of several group therapy sessions between a therapist and five "problem" students. Portions of the transcripts are analysed with reference to the properties of specific units of speech, such as the properties of lists or the properties of categories, with a major emphasis on examining the social and organizational features that surround the interaction, and upon which the utterances are built, in an effort to discover the facilities that persons have available to them for making sense out of those utterances. An attempt is made to show that (a) by reference to such units of speech, conversations between adolescents can be made intelligible and that (b) an analysis of such things is capable of explaining the interactional resources that adolescents must rely on when speaking with one another and with adults, without the use of classical childhood socialization notions. The major issues given special attention are (1) occupational subclasses and the importance that they have with respect to the socialization process and, (2) the incumbency problems that adolescents have as a result of adult socialization notions.

description: Abstract

The events that followed in Algeria, from the war of independence to the security crisis of the 1990s, contributed directly to the rural exodus and the spread of informal settlements. Far from the myths of insight that some research dogmatically attaches to these vernacular territories. Moreover, far removed from the moral judgements that drive most studies of slums, particularly in Algeria, our research will focus on an urban and above all a health analysis of these areas. Of Algeria's 549,000 slums, this study focuses on five in Constantine. This approach reveals the impact of substandard housing on the urban landscape, but also its effects on the health of its occupants. The results of this research show that shanty towns have a significant negative impact on the environment, public health and the safety of residents. They degrade the local environment, leading to a deterioration in the urban image and quality of life. Unhealthy living conditions encourage the proliferation of infectious and chronic diseases. These impacts are felt by the entire population of Constantine, due to the proximity of the slums to the more formal neighborhood’s, posing major challenges for the municipal authorities and requiring coordinated action to improve living conditions and preserve the urban image.

description: As deep neural networks continue to drive advancements in computer vision tasks, researchers are increasingly focusing on developing powerful deep neural network models to handle large volumes of data. As the size of DNN models grows, their inference process becomes computationally expensive, which limits the real-time applications of DNNs. In response to this challenge, we propose a universal framework called "Locality Sensing and Optimized Neural Network for Video Processing SPEED-UP." This framework utilizes locality sensing to accelerate the video query processing, reducing the computational costs of DNNs in video evaluation and achieving a threefold reduction in inference time.

This framework can automatically sense the similarity between two input frames within a given input video. It enables us to process input videos using a specialized processing method that incurs significantly lower computational costs compared to traditional DNN inference, which involves frame-by-frame detection. Within the highlighted temporal locality information across frames, the Yolov5 algorithm can achieve a two to threefold speedup. Furthermore, we employ neural network compression techniques to reduce the size of the neural network without sacrificing minimal accuracy, ultimately compressing the neural network volume by half. The simultaneous use of these two methods validates the effectiveness of our research.

In the regime where the deceleration is small, a perturbative calculation is possible and we obtain the first two corrections to the energy-loss rate of a heavy quark with constant velocity. The thermalization of the heavy quark is also discussed.

description: Using the VLA, a series of high velocity resolution observations have been made of the M82 starburst at 1.6 GHz. These observations follow up on previous studies of the main line OH maser emission in the central kiloparsec of this starburst region, but with far greater velocity resolution, showing significant velocity structure in some of the maser spots for the first time. A total of thirteen masers were detected, including all but one of the previously known sources. While some of these masers are still unresolved in velocity, these new results clearly show velocity structure in spectra from several of the maser regions. Position-velocity plots show good agreement with the distribution of H{\sc i} including interesting velocity structure on the blueward feature in the west of the starburst which traces the velocity distribution seen in the ionised gas.

description: To understand effects of orbital degeneracy on magnetism, in particular effects of Hund's rule coupling, we study the two-orbital Hubbard model on a square lattice by a variational Monte Carlo method. As a variational wave function, we consider a Gutzwiller projected wave function for a staggered spin and/or orbital ordered state. We find a ferromagnetic phase with staggered orbital order around quarter-filling, i.e., electron number n=1 per site, and an antiferromagnetic phase without orbital order around half-filling n=2. In addition, we find that another ferromagnetic phase without orbital order realizes in a wide filling region for large Hund's rule coupling. These two ferromagnetic states are metallic except for quarter filling. We show that orbital degeneracy and strong correlation effects stabilize the ferromagnetic states.

description: Shear strain localization into shear bands is associated with velocity weakening instabilities and earthquakes. Here, we simulate steady-state plane-shear flow of numerical granular material (gouge), confined between parallel surfaces. Both constant shear stress and constant strain-rate boundary conditions are tested and the two types of boundary conditions are found to yield distinct velocity profiles and friction laws. The inertial number, $I$, exerts the largest control on the layers' behavior, but additional dependencies of friction on normal stress and thickness of the layer are observed under constant stress boundary condition. We find that shear-band localization, which is present in the quasistatic regime ($I<10^{-3}$) in rate-controlled shear, is absent under stress-controlled loading. In the latter case, flow ceases when macroscopic friction coefficient approaches the quasistatic friction value. The inertial regime that occurs at higher inertial numbers ($I>10^{-3}$) is associated with distributed shear, and friction and porosity that increase with shear rate (rate-strengthening regime). The finding that shear under constant stress boundary condition produces the inertial, distributed shear but never quasistatic, localized deformation is rationalized based on low fluctuations of shear forces in granular contacts for stress-controlled loading. By examining porosity within and outside a shear band, we also provide a mechanical reason why the transition between quasistatic and inertial shear coincides with the transition between localized and distributed strain.

The aim of this research is to discover the essence of the Constitutional Court's decisionWhich is Final and Binding in State Administration. This research is normative legal research, using a statutory approach, conceptual approach, philosophical approach, and case approach. The research results show thatThe essence of the Constitutional Court's decision which has final and binding status in its implementation is a). final means, that there is no further legal remedy for the parties to request changes to the Constitutional Court Decision or it has been closed to all possibility of taking legal action afterwards or as the first and final decision for which there is no legal space to review it again; b). binding means: 1). That the Constitutional Court's decision has obtained legal force, and 2). Because it has obtained legal force, the parties must obey or comply with the Constitutional Court's decision and must not violate it.

description: Abstract 

The proper age to select the Nigerian heavy local chicken ecotype (NHLCE) for fast body weight improvement has not been established, and efforts by Nigerian breeders have been on to establish an average age to select the birds for quick genetic improvement on productive traits. The study was conducted to evaluate the body weights and heritability estimates of the Nigerian Heavy Local Chicken Ecotype reared in Nsukka. A total of 350 and 345 day-old chicks for generations (G) 7 and G8, respectively, were used for the study. Generation G7 chicks were produced from the existing generation G6 parent stock, while G8 chicks were generated from G7 parents, in the Teaching and Research Farm, Department of Animal Science, University of Nigeria, Nsukka. Thirty (30) mature cocks and 90 mature laying hens were randomly chosen from the G6 parent stock, and divided into six breeding groups at mating ratio of 1 male: 3 females, to produce the G7 chicks. Fertile eggs were collected, incubated and hatched according to breeding groups to produce the chicks for the study. Similar protocol was applied to generate the chicks for G8 study. Feed and water were provided to the birds ad libitum. Data on body weight were collected at 4 week intervals. The study lasted for 24 weeks. The results showed varying body weight performances across the breeding groups and across the generations. Breeding group 1 had the highest body weight at hatch (40.38±0.58g), whereas, breeding group 3 in G8 was highest at 24th week of age (1846.15±32.93g). On the generation performance, the results showed that from hatch to 24 weeks of age, body weights (38.33±0.24g to 1605.67±18.13g) of generation G8 birds were significantly (p<0.05) higher than those (37.45±0.26g to 1352.11±17.39g) of generation G7 birds. The heritability estimate ranged from 0.12±0.19 to 0.84±0.88 and 0.12±0.35 to 0.49±0.74, in generations G7 and G8, respectively. The heritability estimates were highest at week 4 of age for both generations G7 and G8 birds. It was therefore concluded that selection for body weight in the Nigerian heavy local chicken ecotype is better carried out at 4 weeks of age.

description: Confrontarsi con lo stile di un autore e riuscire a trasferirlo con tutte le sue
sfumature in un’altra lingua rappresenta da sempre per il traduttore una sfida di non
poco conto, soprattutto se le peculiarità stilistiche da riprodurre sono quelle di un autore
come Flaubert. È nell’incredibile universo racchiuso negli studi e nelle ricerche relative
alla traduzione, nel quale, timidamente, ci proponiamo di inoltrarci, attraverso uno dei
capolavori della letteratura mondiale, Madame Bovary, e in particolare attraverso
un’indagine critica di alcune traduzioni italiane realizzate da scrittori in proprio: Diego
Valeri (1936), Oreste del Buono (1965), Natalia Ginzburg (1983) e Maria Luisa
Spaziani (1997).
Focalizzeremo la nostra attenzione innanzitutto sulla traduzione d’autore, nella
quale, più che in ogni altra tipologia di atto traspositivo, si intersecano fedeltà e
tradimento, creatività e interventismo, letteralità e rielaborazione.
Proseguiremo con un’ampia e articolata analisi del testo di partenza, in cui
verranno messe in luce le principali peculiarità del romanzo e dello stile autoriale.
Entrando poi nella specificità delle diverse traduzioni, procederemo a un esame
comparativo della resa di alcuni tratti caratteristici del romanzo da parte dei vari
traduttori, in particolare circa le metafore e le similitudini; la terminologia specialistica,
che denota il realismo flaubertiano; i vocaboli appartenenti a diversi livelli linguistici,
attinti sia dalle varietà diacroniche sia da quelle sincroniche del francese e infine, alcune
configurazioni frastiche particolari del testo, quelle che, anziché improntarsi alla
varietas grammaticale, mostrano una monotonia grammaticale voluta, con la funzione
di riprodurre a livello sintattico quanto espresso semanticamente.
Seguirà l’analisi del contesto socio-letterario in cui si collocano le traduzioni
oggetto di studio, articolata in un’indagine comparativa sullo stadio della lingua italiana,
sullo statuto della traduzione e sulle attitudini traspositive riguardo a certi elementi del
discorso. La determinazione del quadro d’insieme, unitamente agli aspetti estrapolati nel
corso della trattazione, consentirà la definizione di ogni sujet traduisant e della sua
position traductive circa il significato, le finalità, le forme e i modi del tradurre, nel
tentativo di ricondurre le variazioni apportate al testo originale allo stile di ogni singolo
scrittore in proprio.
A completamento del lavoro inseriremo in appendice la nostra proposta
traduttiva degli atti del processo a Madame Bovary.

description: Abstract

This study examines the impact of working capital management on the financial health of selected automobile companies in India through a comprehensive analysis of inventory turnover, liquidity ratios, and profitability metrics from 2020 to 2024. Inventory turnover, a critical indicator of operational efficiency, varied significantly among companies, reflecting diverse strategies in inventory management. High-performing companies like Bajaj Auto and Hero MotoCorp demonstrated consistent and efficient inventory turnover, correlating with strong profitability and liquidity. In contrast, companies such as Bosch and Tata Motors showed lower and more volatile turnover ratios, indicating challenges in inventory management. Liquidity ratios highlighted varying degrees of financial stability in meeting short-term obligations. Companies with stronger liquidity positions, like Bosch and Eicher Motors, were better equipped to manage short-term financial commitments. Profitability analysis revealed that efficient working capital management positively influenced profitability, with high turnover ratios associated with improved returns on assets and equity. The study underscores the importance of optimizing working capital management strategies tailored to each company's operational dynamics. Recommendations include enhancing inventory control systems, improving supply chain efficiencies, and refining cash flow management practices. Companies with high leverage and low profitability, such as Tata Motors, should consider restructuring their capital to mitigate financial risks. By implementing these recommendations, automobile companies can enhance their financial health, operational efficiency, and overall competitiveness in the market.

description: Abstract

This research is motivated by the decline in customer loyalty at the Southeast Sulawesi Regional Development Bank due to suboptimal complaint handling and ineffective communication. In tight competition, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic, banks need to improve customer satisfaction to maintain their loyalty. This study aims to analyze the effect of relationship marketing on customer loyalty, the impact of customer satisfaction on loyalty, and the mediating role of customer satisfaction between relationship marketing and customer loyalty. The research method uses explanatory with the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach on 100 credit customers. Data were collected through questionnaires to measure relationship marketing variables, customer satisfaction, and customer loyalty. The results show that relationship marketing has a significant but not large effect on customer loyalty (coefficient 0.256). Customer satisfaction has a strong effect on loyalty (coefficient 0.602) and is significant on relationship marketing (coefficient 0.548). Customer satisfaction also acts as an important mediator between relationship marketing and customer loyalty (indirect coefficient 0.330). The conclusion of this study is that the relationship marketing strategy implemented by the bank contributes to increasing customer loyalty through increasing their satisfaction. However, its direct influence still needs to be improved. Customer satisfaction is a key factor in increasing loyalty. Banks need to focus on increasing customer satisfaction through more effective relationship marketing strategies. Suggestions for the Southeast Sulawesi Regional Development Bank are to improve customer complaint handling and improve effective communication to build trust and loyalty. Banks must also continue to innovate in offering products and services according to customer preferences to maintain and increase long-term customer loyalty.

description: Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a major shock at the heart of the breadbasket of Europe at a time when global stocks are running short. With inelastic supply and demand for such basic goods and lack of inventories to cushion the shock, the basic economics of storage arbitrage explain the commodity price spikes needed to ration the war-related supply shortage. In this paper, I show that to make sense of the chaotic price fluctuations requires a consistent empirical tool, such as the storage model with rational expectations. Empirical analysis of the unfolding commodity shock using a storage model lens suggests that the global food market is currently in a “wait-and-see” mode, with price movements reflecting a loss in the size of the global share of caloric production from Ukraine. I show also that the supply and demand outlook for the next two years is aligned to the price expectations of market participants and send the signal that the world should prepare for a period of scarcer supply and high and volatile food prices, for as long as the conflict lasts. Sound policymaking in this context could rely on this normative device to ease the suffering of the most vulnerable populations who are at risk of hunger and malnourishment.
Signature of the turbulent component of solar dynamo on active region scales and its association with flaring activity

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Obtaining observational evidence of the turbulent component of solar dynamo operating in the convective zone is a challenging problem because the dynamo action is hidden below the photosphere. Here we present results of a statistical study of flaring active regions (ARs) that produced strong solar flares of an X-ray class X1.0 and higher during a time period that covered solar cycles 23 and 24. We introduced a magneto-morphological classification (MMC) of ARs, which allowed us to estimate possible contribution of the turbulent component of the dynamo into the structure of an AR. We found that in 72\% of cases, flaring ARs do not comply with the empirical laws of the global dynamo (frequently they are not bipolar ARs, or, if they are, they violate either Hale polarity law, or the Joy's law, or the leading sunspot prevalence rule), which may be attributed to the influence of the turbulent dynamo action inside the convective zone on spatial scales of typical ARs. Thus it appears that the flaring is governed by the turbulent component of solar dynamo. A contribution into the flaring from these ARs-``violators'' is enhanced during the second maximum and the descending phase of a solar cycle, when the toroidal field weakens and the influence of the turbulent component becomes more pronounced. These observational findings are in consensus with a concept of the essential role of non-linearities and turbulent intermittency in the magnetic fields generation inside the convective zone, which follows from simulations of dynamo.

Structure determination of proteins and peptides in solution: simulation, chirality and NMR studies

Subjects: CHIM/02 Chimica fisica

description: The study of protein fold is a central problem in life science, leading in the
last years to several attempts for improving our knowledge of the protein
structures. In this thesis this challenging problem is tackled by means of
molecular dynamics, chirality and NMR studies.
In the last decades, many algorithms were designed for the protein secondary
structure assignment, which reveals the local protein shape adopted by segments of amino acids. In this regard, the use of local chirality for the protein
secondary structure assignment was demonstreted, trying to correlate as well
the propensity of a given amino acid for a particular secondary structure.
The protein fold can be studied also by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)
investigations, finding the average structure adopted from a protein. In this
context, the effect of Residual Dipolar Couplings (RDCs) in the structure refinement was shown, revealing a strong improvement of structure resolution.
A wide extent of this thesis is devoted to the study of avian prion protein.
Prion protein is the main responsible of a vast class of neurodegenerative
diseases, known as Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy (BSE), present in
mammals, but not in avian species and it is caused from the conversion of
cellular prion protein to the pathogenic misfolded isoform, accumulating in
the brain in form of amiloyd plaques. In particular, the N-terminal region,
namely the initial part of the protein, is quite different between mammal
and avian species but both of them contain multimeric sequences called Repeats, octameric in mammals and hexameric in avians. However, such repeat
regions show differences in the contained amino acids, in particular only
avian hexarepeats contain tyrosine residues. The chirality analysis of avian
prion protein configurations obtained from molecular dynamics reveals a high
stiffness of the avian protein, which tends to preserve its regular secondary
structure. This is due to the presence of prolines, histidines and especially tyrosines, which form a hydrogen bond network in the hexarepeat region, only
possible in the avian protein, and thus probably hampering the aggregation.

This research examines educational funding in educational units organized by the community, particularly at the high school (SMA) and vocational school (SMK) levels in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY). Educational funding is a crucial component in ensuring educational quality. The aim of this study is to analyze the operational education cost needs and quality development of private schools in DIY, and to formulate appropriate cost standards. The methods used include unit cost analysis and field surveys to obtain actual data. The results of the study indicate a cost disparity between private schools with large and small student numbers, as well as higher cost needs for vocational schools compared to general schools. The recommendations of this study are expected to serve as a basis for the government in making policies related to education funding in private schools in DIY.

description: The 1970s are in the limelight of a growing historiographic attention, partly due to the recent opening of
new archival resources. 1973, in particular, has a special interest in the historian’s eyes, as many are the
events that happened that year: to name but a few, the Chilean coup, the October War, the ensuing oil
crisis, the Vietnamese peace treaty. So it is may be not entirely surprising that not much attention has been
paid to the Year of Europe, a nebulous American initiative destined to sum up to nothing practical - as
Kissinger himself put it, it was destined to be the Year that never Was.1 It is my opinion, however, that its
failure should not conceal its historical interest. Even though transatlantic relations have sometimes been
seen as an uninterrupted history of crisis,2 in 1973 they reached what could then be considered as their
unprecedented nadir. I believe that a thorough analysis of the events that during that year found the US
increasingly at odds with the countries of Western Europe is worth carrying out not only to cast a new
light on the dynamics of transatlantic relations but also to deepen our comprehension of the internal
dynamics of the actors involved, mainly the Nixon administration and a unifying Europe. The Nixon
administration had not carefully planned what the initiative actually should have amounted to, and its
official announcement appears to have been one of Kissinger’s coups de theatre. Yet the Year of Europe
responded to the vital priority of revitalising the relations with Western Europe, crucial ally, for too long
neglected. But 1973 did not end with the solemn renewal of the Atlantic Declaration that Kissinger had
sought. On the contrary, it saw, for the first time, the countries of the newly enlarged EC engaged in a real,
if short-lived, solidarity on foreign policy, which highlighted the Nixon administration’s contradictions
regarding European integration. Those, in addition to the numerous tensions that already strained
transatlantic relations, gave birth to a downward spiral of incomprehensions and misperceptions, which the
unexpected deflagration of the October war seriously worsened. However, even though the tensions did
not disappear, the European front soon started to disintegrate, mainly under the strains imposed by the oil
crisis. Significant changes in the leadership of the main European countries helped to get the tones back to
normal. During the course of 1974-5, the substantial failure of the Euro-Arab dialogue, the Gymlich
compromise, frequent and serene bilateral meetings bear witness that the worst was over.

description: Heterogeneity characterises real-world networks, where nodes show a broad range of different topological features. However, nodes also tend to organise into communities -- subsets of nodes that are sparsely inter-connected but are densely intra-connected (more than the network's average connectivity). This means that nodes belonging to the same community are close to each other by some distance measure, such as the resistance distance, which is the effective distance between any pair of nodes considering all possible paths. In this work, we present automation (i.e., unsupervised) and missing accuracy tests for a recently proposed semi-supervised community detection algorithm based on the resistance distance. The accuracy testing involves quantifying our algorithm's performance in terms of recovering known synthetic communities from benchmark networks, where we present results for Girvan-Newman and Lancichinetti-Fortunato-Radicchi networks. Our findings show that our algorithm falls into the class of accurate performers.

Topologies of Regional Cinema: Philippine, Mindanaon, and Southeast Asian Films
Creators: name: Campos, Patrick
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2023

description: This PhD by Publication investigates the entanglements of national and regional cinema formations. It explores the potential of peripheral regional cinema imaginaries and proposes a topological approach to film research, interpretation, and curation informed by the geographical concepts of place and scale. The national and regional contexts addressed are Philippine, Mindanao, and Southeast Asian cinemas. The portfolio comprises (1) my book, The End of National Cinema: Filipino Film at the Turn of the Century (2016), which interrogates the significance and limitations of the national cinema paradigm and the ramification of placemaking films in forming imaginaries beneath and beyond the nation-state; (2) three essays—“Tu Pug Imatuy: Small Film, Global Connections” (2019), “Allegories of Scale: On Three Films Set in Mindanao” (2021), “Topos, Historia, Islas: Film Islands and Regional Cinemas” (2021)—that conceptualise regional cinema by centring on films made or set in Mindanao; and (3) three film programmes, This Land Is Ours (2019), Cinematic Counter-Cartographies of Southeast Asia (2021), and LUMAD (2021), curated with activist intentions, concretising the micro- and macro-regional contexts of Mindanao films in the Philippines and Southeast Asia. The submission is methodologically attentive to placemaking, scale mapping, and topological thinking. It demonstrates how they facilitate a process-oriented, openended, and comparative understanding of contemporary regional cinema sensitive to the volatile politics of (national) inclusion, marginalisation, and exclusion, the contradictions of one’s practice vis-à-vis one’s location, and the possibilities of solidarity and collaboration within and across borders.

description: Schizophrenia is a chronic, debilitating disorder characterised by distorted thinking, perceptions, behaviours, and even language impairments. We investigated the linguistic anomalies in Korean schizophrenia patients compared to non-psychotic psychiatric controls to determine whether the linguistic anomalies in English speakers with schizophrenia were replicated in Korean speakers. Thirty-four schizophrenia patients and 70 non-psychotic psychiatric controls were included in this study. The SCT was utilised as the text data for analysis. For linguistic analysis, we evaluated texts regarding semantics and syntax. We separately counted the number of semantic or syntactic errors in the written texts of study participants and compared them between patients and controls. Schizophrenia patients showed significantly more semantic errors (p < .001) and syntactic errors (p < .001) per 1,000 characters than non-psychotic psychiatric controls. Specifically, inappropriate word or syntactic component selection is noticeable in schizophrenia patients. These differences were still significant after adjusting for general intelligence measured by the K-WAIS-IV. Schizophrenia patients showed both semantic and syntactic errors in written language. Moreover, these errors seemed to be partly independent of general intelligence. Notably, patients showed a noticeable number of syntactic errors. Further investigation into the language of patients with schizophrenia and schizophrenia-spectrum disorders is required.

description: In the search for moons around extrasolar planets, astronomers are confronted with a stunning observation. Although 3400 of the 4500 exoplanets were discovered with the transit method and although there are well over 25 times as many moons than planets known in the Solar System (two of which are larger than Mercury), no exomoon has been discovered. In the search for exoplanet transits, stellar light curves are usually phase-folded over a range of trial epochs and periods. This approach, however, is not applicable in a straightforward manner to exomoons. Planet-moon transits either have to be modeled in great detail (including their orbital dynamics, mutual eclipses etc.), which is computationally expensive, or key simplifications have to be assumed. One such simplification is to search for moon transits outside of the planetary transits. The question we address in this report is how much in-transit data of an exomoon remains uncontaminated by the near-simultaneous transits of its host planet. We develop an analytical framework and test our results with a numerical planet-moon transit simulator. For exomoons similar to the Galilean moons, only a small fraction of their in-transit data is uncontaminated by planetary transits: 14% for Io, 20% for Europa, 42% for Ganymede, and 73% for Callisto. The S/N of an out-of-planetary-transit folding technique is reduced compared to a full transit model to about 38% (Io), 45% (Europa), 65% (Ganymede), and 85% (Callisto), respectively. For the Earth's Moon, we find an uncontaminated data fraction of typically just 18% and a resulting S/N reduction to 42%. These values are astonishingly small. The gain in speed for any exomoon transit search algorithm that ignores the planetary in-transit data comes at the heavy price of losing a substantial fraction of what is supposedly a tiny signal in the first place.

description: Abstract

Brain tumours are an increasing global epidemic, claiming millions of lives each year. Misdiagnosis can result in needless therapy and reduced life expectancy. Doctors have used computer-based diagnostic techniques such as DenseNet201 and the Gabor Filter to produce accurate diagnoses. In this work, SVM was used to classify independent features, and essential features were collected from an MRI image dataset using the DenseNet201 algorithm and Gabor filter. Deep convolutional layers outperform standard techniques in terms of extracting unique characteristics from target areas. An MRI dataset of 7023 brain tumour pictures from the Kaggle website was utilised to classify features using SVM. The hybrid approach of DenseNet201 and Gabor Filter produced the best overall results, with 98.02% precision, 98.01% accuracy, and 98.01% F1 score.
