description: Developed countries have built wealth and prosperity on the strength of their manufacturing sectors, with China’s success story of lifting 800 million people out of extreme poverty in 30 years a sterling and most recent example of how manufacturing-led industrialization can foster economic development. Sub-Saharan Africa, unfortunately, find itself today in a similar situation as China did in 1990, with over 50% of the world’s desperately poor 719 million people living in the region. But unlike China, Sub-Saharan Africa is faced with the additional challenge of overcoming poverty in a world with stricter constraints to global trade and climate change limitations to modern-day industrialization. Compounding the challenges further is the region's limited know-how and human capital — a consequence of years of underdevelopment, creating a classic chicken and egg dilemma where the lack of industrialization perpetuates the dearth of know-how and human capital, and vice versa.Considering these challenges, we investigate how chemical manufacturing and what chemical manufacturing approaches can be leveraged to effectively drive industrialization and economic development in Sub-Saharan Africa. We propose chemicals manufacturing using prefabricated modules – which are constructed offsite in places with available human capital and transported to be assembled in places where they are needed – as a flexible and needed approach. However, Economy of Scale, which generally favors large-scale chemical manufacturing, poses as a major constraint to such modularization approach, especially given the presently small serviceable market sizes in Sub-Saharan Africa due to low purchasing power parity. We thus utilize mathematical modeling techniques to determine and establish scenarios for economic viability of the proposed approach, providing modeling frameworks and introducing measures for further studies in the process. We also provide and analyze exemplary flowsheets synthesized for a net-zero carbon emissions chemical manufacturing paradigm in the region.This work concludes with a prefeasibility study of a chemical manufacturing project in Nigeria, as part of the author’s quest to build prefabricated modular plants across Africa. Modular plants are attractive as they can be tuned to market demand of a developing market and region that needs them, putting less capital at risk.This thesis is intended to be a vanguard of potential solutions to the complex challenges to industrialization in Sub-Saharan Africa. It endeavors to pave the way for addressing these issues through chemical manufacturing, offering valuable insights for sustainable progress.

description: The performance of a heterogeneous team depends critically on the composition of its members, and switching out one member for another can make a drastic difference. The capabilities of an agent depends not only on its individual characteristics, but also the interactions with its teammates. Roles are typically assigned to individual agents in such a team, where each role is responsible for a certain aspect of the joint team goal. In this paper, we focus on role assignment in a heterogeneous team, where an agent's capability depends on its teammate and their mutual state, i.e., the agent's state and its teammate's state. The capabilities of an agent are represented by a mean and variance, to capture the uncertainty in the agent's actions and in the world. We present a formal framework for representing this problem, and illustrate our framework using a robot soccer example. We formally describe how to compute the value of a role assignment policy, as well as the computation of the optimal role assignment policy, using a notion of risk. Further, we show that finding the optimal role assignment can be difficult, and describe approximation algorithms that can be used to solve this problem. We provide an analysis of these algorithms in our model and empirically show that they perform well in general problems of this domain, compared to market-based techniques. Lastly, we describe an extension to our proposed model that captures mutual interactions between more than two agents
Properties of an electrically charged black hole in Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity

description: We systematically examine the properties of an electrically charged black hole in Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld gravity with not only the positive but also the negative coupling constant in the theory. As a result, we numerically find that the black hole solution exists even with the negative coupling constant, where the electric charge of black hole can be larger than the black hole mass. We also clarify the parameter space where the black hole solution exists. On the other hand, to examine the particle motion around such black hole, we derive the geodesic equation. The behavior of the effective potential for the radial particle motion is almost the same as that in general relativity, but the radius of the innermost stable circular orbit and the angular momentum giving the innermost stable circular orbit can be changed, depending on the coupling constant. In particular, we find that the radius of innermost stable circular orbit with the specific value of the coupling constant can be smaller than that for the extreme case in general relativity. Such a particle can release the gravitational binding energy more than the prediction in general relativity, which could be important from the observational point of view.

 The purpose of this study is to determine the chemical profile of the essential oils extractedfrom South African grown Citrus sinensis (L.) osbeck leaf and peels (fresh and dried) using gas chromatography(GC) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and evaluate the essential oils anti-inflammatorypotential. The analysis gave forty and fifty-four compounds accounting for 91.5 % and 99.6 % respectivelyidentified in fresh and dried leaf essential oils. The major compounds in fresh leaf essential oil were sabinene(20.4 %) and terpinen-4-ol (13.2 %) while β-elemene (16.3 %) and sabinene (10.7 %) were identified in dried leafessential oil. In fresh and dried peel oils, twenty-four and twenty-five compounds accounting for 99.3 % and99.4 % respectively were identified whereby limonene (80.5-73.6 %) was the most prevalent compound. Citrussinensis dried leaf and peel bioactive essential oils compounds significantly (p< 0.01) suppressed oedema inrats hind paw mostly at 200 mg/kg dose level indicating good anti-inflammatory activity. The abundance oflimonene in Peels essential oil and β-elemene and sabinene in leaf essential oil played a significant role in antiinflammatoryproperties of Citrus sinensis. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first comprehensivechemical profile report on South African grown C. sinensis despite being a major citrus producing country.

Plasma formation, shock-wave expansion, and pressure in water are observed simultaneously using a combined measurement system that obtains high-resolution nanosecond-order image sequences. These detailed measurements reveal a non-spherically-symmetric distribution of pressure peak. In contrast, remarkably, pressure impulse is found to distribute symmetrically for a wide range of experimental parameters even when the shock waves are emitted from an elongated region. The structure is determined to be a collection of multiple spherical shock waves originated from point-like plasmas in the elongated region.

 This project note describes the annotation and glossing conventions as they apply to the Public DGS Corpus. In many aspects, they are identical to the annotation guidelines used in the DGS-Korpus project. However, not all aspects dealt with in the annotation show in Public Corpus. E.g. our annotation differentiates between different word forms by using qualifiers whereas the Public Corpus annotation just marks tokens as deviating from the citation form.
 In addition to explaining the annotation in translation and of mouthings, segmentation and lemmatisation, this texts explains specific approaches such as double glossing, double-token tags and lists special glosses used in the Public DGS Corpus. Glosses as well as some tokens are hyperlinked into the actual data, so the reader is invited to view both the original video as well as the annotation. The first appendix provides an overview of all symbols and gloss categories while the second lists the fingerspelling forms as used in DGS.

description: The distribution of canonical determinants in QCD is determined by means of chiral perturbation theory. For a non-zero quark charge the canonical determinants take complex values. In the dilute pion gas approximation, we compute all moments of the magnitude of the canonical determinants, as well as the first nonvanishing moments of the real and imaginary parts. The non-trivial cancellation between the real and the imaginary parts of the canonical determinants is derived and the signal to noise ratio is discussed. The analytical distributions are compared to lattice data. The average density of the magnitude of the canonical determinants is determined as well and is shown to be given by a variant of the log-normal distribution.

description: For large scale automatic semantic video characterization, it is necessary to learn and model a large number of semantic concepts. These semantic concepts do not exist in isolation to each other and exploiting this relationship between multiple video concepts could be a useful source to improve the concept detection accuracy. In this paper, we describe various multi-concept relational learning approaches via a unified probabilistic graphical model representation and propose using numerous graphical models to mine the relationship between video concepts that have not been applied before. Their performances in video semantic concept detection are evaluated and compared on two TRECVID'05 video collections.

description: We present a derivation of the Markovian master equation by the renormalization group method. Starting from a naive perturbative solution of the von Neumann equation, the reduced density matrix with the coarse grained time steps is obtained using the assumption of short correlation time of the bath field. Then by applying the renormalization group method, we show that the dependence of the specific initial time on the perturbative solution can be removed and the Markovian semigroup master equation in the Gorini--Kossakowski--Lindblad--Sudarshan (GKLS) form is obtained in the weak coupling limit.

Public Opinion and Death Penalty Policy Under Direct Democracy Institutions: A Dynamic Analysis of the American States
Creators: name: Caron, Christian
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2018

description: This paper assesses the conditional effect of direct democracy on death penalty policy in the American states. I argue that these institutions have played an integral role in maintaining capital punishment in the United States by enhancing responsiveness to public preferences, which are generally supportive of the death penalty. The findings provide some support for my expectations, showing that direct democracy amplifies the effect of public opinion on policy, even if it does not necessarily increase the probability that policy will be congruent with majority preferences. This paper also overcomes a methodological limitation of prior studies on this subject, which employ a cross-sectional research design. Because public opinion---especially on the death penalty---and policy evolve over time, such a design can produce misleading results due to its static nature. Using the longitudinal research design promoted by Lewis and Jacobsmeier (2017), in combination with yearly state-level death penalty opinion estimates computed by Gelman and Shirley (2015), I am able to account for the dynamic nature of opinion and policy.

Phonon transmission across Mg2Si/Mg2Si1-xSnx interfaces: A first-principles-based atomistic Green's function study

description: Phonon transmission across interfaces of dissimilar materials has been studied intensively in the recent years by using atomistic simulation tools owing to its importance in determining the effective thermal conductivity of nanostructured materials. Atomistic Green's function (AGF) method with interatomic force constants from the first-principles (FP) calculations has evolved to be a promising approach to study phonon transmission in many not well-studied material systems. However, the direct FP calculation for interatomic force constants becomes infeasible when the system involves atomic disorder. Mass approximation is usually used, but its validity has not been tested. In this paper, we employ the higher-order force constant model to extract harmonic force constants from the FP calculations, which originates from the virtual crystal approximation but considers the local force-field difference. As a feasibility demonstration of the proposed method that integrates higher-order force constant model from the FP calculations with the AGF, we study the phonon transmission in the Mg2Si/Mg2Si1-xSnx systems. When integrated with the AGF, the widely-used mass approximation is found to overpredict phonon transmission across Mg2Si/Mg2Sn interface. The difference can be attributed to the absence of local strain field-induced scattering in the mass approximation, which makes the high-frequency phonons less scattered. The frequency-dependent phonon transmission across an interface between a crystal and an alloy, which often appears in high efficiency "nanoparticle in alloy" thermoelectric materials, is studied. The interfacial thermal resistance across Mg2Si/Mg2Si1-xSnx interface is found to be weakly dependent on the composition of Sn when the composition x is less than 40%, but increases rapidly when it is larger than 40% due to the transition of high-frequency phonon DOS in Mg2Si1-xSnx alloys.

description: Wavenumber-frequency spectra of the streamwise velocity component obtained from large-eddy simulations are presented. Following a recent paper [Wilczek et al., J. Fluid. Mech., 769:R1, 2015] we show that the main features, a Doppler shift and a Doppler broadening of frequencies, are captured by an advection model based on the Tennekes-Kraichnan random-sweeping hypothesis with additional mean flow. In this paper, we focus on the height-dependence of the spectra within the logarithmic layer of the flow. We furthermore benchmark an analytical model spectrum that takes the predictions of the random-sweeping model as a starting point and find good agreement with the LES data. We also quantify the influence of LES grid resolution on the wavenumber-frequency spectra.

description: Formal verification and validation play a crucial role in making cyber-physical systems (CPS) safe. Formal methods make strong guarantees about the system behavior if accurate models of the system can be obtained, including models of the controller and of the physical dynamics. In CPS, models are essential; but any model we could possibly build necessarily deviates from the real world. If the real system fits to the model, its behavior is guaranteed to satisfy the correctness properties verified w.r.t. the model. Otherwise, all bets are off. This paper introduces ModelPlex, a method ensuring that verification results about models apply to CPS implementations. ModelPlex provides correctness guarantees for CPS executions at runtime: it combines offline verification of CPS models with runtime validation of system executions for compliance with the model. ModelPlex ensures that the verification results obtained for the model apply to the actual system runs by monitoring the behavior of the world for compliance with the model, assuming the system dynamics deviation is bounded. If, at some point, the observed behavior no longer complies with the model so that offline verification results no longer apply, ModelPlex initiates provably safe fallback actions. This paper, furthermore, develops a systematic technique to synthesize provably correct monitors automatically from CPS proofs in differential dynamic logic.

description: Morphing geometric graphs is a classical problem in graph theory and computational geometry with seminal results established by Cairns in 1944 [Amer. Math. Monthly, 51] and by Thomassen in 1983 [J. of Comb. Theor., Series B, 34]. Over the years, this problem has been widely studied in the context of planar graphs, with notable recent results focusing on the complexity of the vertex trajectories (e.g., by Alamdari et al. in 2017 [SIAM J. Computing, 46(2)]). Despite such a rich literature, very little is known about the existence of morphs for non-planar graphs. We make a step towards this problem by showing that a morph always exists for a meaningful family of 1-plane geometric graphs. While our proof is constructive, the vertices may follow trajectories of unbounded complexity.

description: Logistic Regression (LR) has been widely
used in statistics for many years, and has
received extensive study in machine learning
community recently due to its close relations
to Support Vector Machines (SVM) and AdaBoost.
In this paper, we use a modified
version of LR to approximate the optimization
of SVM by a sequence of unconstrained
optimization problems. We prove that our
approximation will converge to SVM, and
propose an iterative algorithm called "MLRCG"
which uses Conjugate Gradient as its inner
loop. Multiclass version "MMLR-CG" is
also obtained after simple modifications. We
compare the MLR-CG with SVMlight over
different text categorization collections, and
show that our algorithm is much more efficient than SVMlight when the number of
training examples is very large. Results of
the multiclass version MMLR-CG is also reported.

description: The description of superconductivity at high temperature is a problem that has recently been addressed. Transition temperature of superconductivity, $T_c$, depends on the lattice structure type, size, and room pressure. In super-lattices and low dimensional layered nanostructures, $T_c$ is increased, by increasing the complexity of the structure and internal pressures in solid lattice. In this paper, we investigate the relation between physical parameters ($ε, μ$) of matter and superconductivity properties as well as transition temperature ($T_c$), and explain the superconductivity at high temperature. In this study, a semi-classical electromagnetic description along with vortex topologic theory and quantum dynamic models with experimental data considered to justify the relation between superconductivity phenomena and magnetic monopole properties. We find that the electromagnetic energy of magnetic monopole is in agreement with vortex energy in topological theory and it can get close to thermal energy at high temperature. These models suggest the superconductivity is related to the mobile monopole or vortices. we show that the electrical permittivity ($ε$) and magnetic permeability ($μ$) of matter have a key role in the superconductive properties.

 In einigen Gemeinden werden darum Schulinseln geschaffen, die die Tragfähigkeit der Schulen erhöhen sollen. Doch inwiefern wird dieses Ziel erreicht? Einerseits wurden die konzeptuellen Grundlagen der alternativen Lernorte von Gemeinden mit Schulinseln des Kantons Zürich untersucht. Andererseits wurde anhand von Daten der Bildungsstatistik des Kantons Zürich untersucht, inwiefern sich die Sonderschulquote separiert geschulter Lernender seit dem Bestehen der Schulinseln verändert hat, und ob die Veränderung der Sonderschulquote im Vergleich zu der Zeit, als es noch keine Schulinsel oder erst seit kurzem eine Schulinsel gab, signifikant ist. Die Studie zeigt, die Einführung von Schulinseln führt tendenziell zu tragfähigeren Schulen, doch es besteht weiterer Forschungsbedarf.

their specifications, and the assembling only of components with compatible specifications.
Key to this methodology is the use of types to specify and automatically to verify adherence
to interfaces. We claim that this methodology makes a higher degree of software correctness
possible than has often been achieved heretofore, and moreover, that it may be achieved in a
practical manner. To reach this goal will require the development of sophisticated new type
system, will require new techniques for modularizing certain correctness properties, and will
require a delicate balance between concise code and automated checking.
title: THE EFFECT OF LAND-COVER/LAND-USE AND HABITAT FRAGMENTATION ON SPATIAL PATTERNS OF LYME DISEASE IN THE EASTERN UNITED STATES

description: Lyme disease has been of national concern for the past few decades. As our understanding of the role of landscape structure in epidemiology expands, it is essential to apply the principles of landscape ecology to the research of vector-borne and zoonotic disease. This study examined the strength of the relationship between land-cover class, degree of habitat fragmentation and county-level Lyme disease cases. Forest, agricultural, and urban land cover types were the categories of interest, while percent cover, edge density, and patch density were the landscape metric used to measure habitat amount and fragmentation. The general linear trends were modelled with the Quasi-Poisson family to quantify the relationship between land cover metrics and case numbers. Forest land had the greatest effect on case numbers, while urban and agriculture had either positive or negative relationships depending on the chosen metric. Fragmentation had a substantial effect on case number, regardless of cover type. The findings can be employed by policy makers and those who work in environments that foster high disease incidence, to keep workers and the local populations safe and healthy.

description: We study a catalytic branching process (CBP) with any finite set of catalysts. This model describes a system of particles where the movement is governed by a Markov chain with arbitrary finite or countable state space and the branching may only occur at the points of catalysis. The results obtained generalize and strengthen those known in cases of CBP with a single catalyst and of branching random walk on d-dimensional integer lattice with a finite number of sources of particles generation. We propose to classify CBP with N catalysts as supercritical, critical or subcritical according to the value of the Perron root of a specified NxN matrix. Such classification agrees with the moment analysis performed here for local and total particles numbers. By introducing the criticality set C we also consider the influence of catalysts parameters on the process behavior. The proof is based on construction of auxiliary multi-type Bellman-Harris processes with the help of hitting times under taboo and on application of multidimensional renewal theorems. Keywords and phrases: catalytic branching process, classification, hitting times under taboo, moment analysis, multi-type Bellman-Harris process.

description: New electronics technologies are emerging which may carry us beyond the limits of lithographic processing down to molecular-scale feature sizes. Devices and interconnects can be made from a variety of molecules and materials including bistable and switchable organic molecules, carbon nanotubes, and, single-crystal semiconductor nanowires. They can be self-assembled into organized structures and attached onto lithographic substrates. This tutorial reviews emerging molecular-scale electronics technology for CAD and system designers and highlights where ICCAD research can help support this technology.

title: On the perception of monocular regions in binocular scenes
Creators: name: Zeiner, Katharina Maria
Publisher: name: University of St Andrews

description: Our two forward facing eyes supply the visual system with slightly different versions of the world around us. These slight differences in the two retinal images are used to obtain depth information about a visual scene. Conventionally, it has been assumed that points in one retinal image that do not have corresponding points in the other image are treated as noise. However, if one object is partially occluded by another, monocular points and regions occur. While it is, by now, established that we do not ignore geometrically plausible monocular points and regions, we know much less about our percept of such regions. So far it has not been studied how our percept of monocular regions compares to that of binocular regions and how well we are able to use the information contained in them. In this thesis I explore our percept of such monocular regions and ask how we treat them in relation to their binocular surround. Using classical psychophysical methods as well as reaction-times and eye-tracking data, I find that we are perfectly capable of using monocular regions to interact with them and to arrive at a stable, seemingly complete percept of them. Sometimes our performance even benefts from the presence of a monocular region. However, this breaks down when we are asked to integrate the information contained in monocular regions with information in binocular regions. The experiments in this thesis show that even though we do not ignore monocular regions and can, if we have to, interact with them, we show a strong preference towards relying on binocular information when given the option.

description: We calculate the phase diagram of the SU($N$) Hubbard model describing fermionic alkaline earth atoms in a square optical lattice with on-average one atom per site, using a slave-rotor mean-field approximation. We find that the chiral spin liquid predicted for $N\ge5$ and large interactions passes through a fractionalized state with a spinon Fermi surface as interactions are decreased before transitioning to a weakly interacting metal. We also show that by adding an artificial uniform magnetic field with flux per plaquette $2π/N$, the chiral spin liquid becomes the ground state for all $N\ge 3$ at large interactions, persists to weaker interactions, and its spin gap increases, suggesting that the spin liquid physics will persist to higher temperatures. We discuss potential methods to realize the artificial gauge fields and detect the predicted phases.

description: Let $G$ be a group and let $ρ\colon G\to\operatorname{Sym}(V)$ be a permutation representation of $G$ on a set $V$. We prove that there is a faithful $G$-coalgebra $C$ such that $G$ arises as the image of the restriction of $\operatorname{Aut}(C)$ to $G(C)$, the set of grouplike elements of $C$. Furthermore, we show that $V$ can be regarded as a subset of $G(C)$ invariant through the $G$-action, and that the composition of the inclusion $G\hookrightarrow\operatorname{Aut}(C)$ with the restriction $\operatorname{Aut}(C)\to\operatorname{Sym}(V)$ is precisely $ρ$. We use these results to prove that isomorphism classes of certain families of groups can be distinguished through the coalgebras on which they act faithfully.

description: We present an algorithm for video retrieval that fuses the decisions of multiple retrieval agents in both text and image modalities. While the normalization and combination of evidence is novel, this paper emphasizes the successful use of negative pseudo-relevance feedback to improve image retrieval performance. While the results are still far from perfect, pseudo-relevance feedback shows great promise for multimedia retrieval in very noisy data.
Thermodynamic restrictions on linear reversible and irreversible thermo-electro-magneto-mechanical processes

description: A unified thermodynamic framework for characterization of functional materials is developed. This framework encompasses linear reversible and irreversible processes with thermal, electrical, magnetic, and/or mechanical effects coupled. The comprehensive framework combines the principles of classical equilibrium and non-equilibrium thermodynamics with electrodynamics of continua in the infinitesimal strain regime. In the first part of this paper, linear Thermo-Electro-Magneto-Mechanical (TEMM) quasistatic processes are characterized. Thermodynamic stability conditions are further imposed on the linear constitutive model and restrictions on the corresponding material constants are derived. The framework is then extended to irreversible transport phenomena including thermoelectric, thermomagnetic and the state-of-the-art spintronic and spin caloritronic effects. Using Onsager's reciprocity relationships and the dissipation inequality, restrictions on the kinetic coefficients corresponding to charge, heat and spin transport processes are derived. All the constitutive models are accompanied by multiphysics interaction diagrams that highlight the various processes that can be characterized using this framework.
