description: The utilization of borate mineral wastes with glass-ceramic technology was first time studied and primarily not investigated combinations of wastes were incorporated  into the research. These wastes consist of; soda lime silica glass, meat bone and meal ash and fly ash. In order to investigate possible and relevant application areas in ceramics, kaolin clay, an essential raw material for ceramic industry was also employed in some studied compositions. 

As a result, three different glass-ceramic articles obtained by using powder sintering method via individual sintering processes. Light weight micro porous glass-ceramic from borate mining waste, meat bone and meal ash and kaolin clay was developed. In some compositions in related study, soda lime silica glass waste was used as an additive providing lightweight structure with a density below 0.45 g/cm3 and a crushing strength of 1.8±0.1 MPa.  

In another study within the research, compositions respecting the B2O3–P2O5–SiO2 glass-ceramic ternary system were prepared from; borate wastes, meat bone and meal ash and soda lime silica glass waste and sintered up to 950ºC. Low porous, highly crystallized glass-ceramic structures with density ranging between  1.8 ± 0,7 to 2.0 ± 0,3 g/cm3 and tensile strength ranging between 8,0  ± 2 to 15,0 ± 0,5 MPa  were achieved. 

Lastly, diopside - wollastonite (SiO2-Al2O3-CaO )glass-ceramics from borate wastes, fly ash and soda lime silica glass waste were successfully obtained with controlled rapid sintering between 950 and 1050ºC. The wollastonite and diopside crystal sizes were improved by adopting varied combinations of formulations and heating rates.
	
The properties of the obtained materials show; the articles with a uniform pore structure could be useful for thermal and acoustic insulations and can be embedded in lightweight concrete where low porous glass-ceramics can be employed as building blocks or additive in cement and ceramic industries.

description: The electrocardiogram (ECG) is one of the most widespread diagnostic tools in healthcare and supports the diagnosis of cardiovascular disorders. Deep learning methods are a successful and popular technique to detect indications of disorders from an ECG signal. However, there are open questions around the robustness of these methods to various factors, including physiological ECG noise. In this study we generate clean and noisy versions of an ECG dataset before applying Symmetric Projection Attractor Reconstruction (SPAR) and scalogram image transformations. A pretrained convolutional neural network is trained using transfer learning to classify these image transforms. For the clean ECG dataset, F1 scores for SPAR attractor and scalogram transforms were 0.70 and 0.79, respectively, and the scores decreased by less than 0.05 for the noisy ECG datasets. Notably, when the network trained on clean data was used to classify the noisy datasets, performance decreases of up to 0.18 in F1 scores were seen. However, when the network trained on the noisy data was used to classify the clean dataset, the performance decrease was less than 0.05. We conclude that physiological ECG noise impacts classification using deep learning methods and careful consideration should be given to the inclusion of noisy ECG signals in the training data when developing supervised networks for ECG classification.

description: Spinor Bose-Einstein condensates under external magnetic fields exhibit well-characterized spin domains of its ground state due to spin-dependent interactions. At low temperatures, collision-induced spin-mixing instabilities may promote the condensate to dwell into metastable states occurring near the phase boundaries. In this work, we study theoretically the metastable spin-phase diagram of a spin-1 antiferromagnetic Bose-Einstein condensate at zero and finite temperatures. The approach makes use of Hartree-Fock theory and exploits the symmetry of the Hamiltonian and of the order parameters yielding a closed system of transcendental equations for the free energy, fully avoiding the use of selfconsistency. Our results are consistent with recent experiments and allow us to explain qualitatively the different types of observed quench dynamics. In addition, we found that similar phenomena should occur in antiferromagnetic spinor condensates with a sudden change in the temperature. It is shown also that the increase of temperature induces a traceable shift of the Ferromagnetic-Polar transition boundary, behavior previously not noticed by selfconsistent mean-field calculations.

description: For a subset A of a finite abelian group G we define Sigma(A)={sum_{a\in B}a:B\subset A}. In the case that Sigma(A) has trivial stabiliser, one may deduce that the size of Sigma(A) is at least quadratic in |A|; the bound |Sigma(A)|>= |A|^{2}/64 has recently been obtained by De Vos, Goddyn, Mohar and Samal. We improve this bound to the asymptotically best possible result |Sigma(A)|>= (1/4-o(1))|A|^{2}. We also study a related problem in which A is any subset of Z_{n} with all elements of A coprime to n; it has recently been shown, by Vu, that if such a set A has the property Sigma(A) is not Z_{n} then |A|=O(sqrt{n}). This bound was improved to |A|<= 8sqrt{n} by De Vos, Goddyn, Mohar and Samal, we further improve the bound to the asymptotically best possible result |A|<= (2+o(1))sqrt{n}.

AI in Financial Fraud Detection: Machine Learning Techniques
Creators: name: Sarath Babu Rakki
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Financial fraud in the digital era requires advanced detection methods, and artificial intelligence, especially machine learning, has become essential for this purpose. Financial institutions across all sectors must develop their data evaluation competencies and analytical abilities because this lets them maximize their AI technology applications to recognize financial crimes before they occur and automate their fraud detection processes. Machine learning models, including logistic regression and decision trees, serve the industry routinely while data mining techniques validate their success in fighting credit card fraud. Advanced machine learning solutions are required to study and deploy new detection techniques that enable the detection of new sophisticated fraud techniques. Modern electronic commerce combined with international communication networks has provoked increasing fraudulent incidents, thus necessitating better fraud detection systems. New techniques provide means to improve both the precision and processing speed and comprehensive operational performance of systems that detect fraud.

description: We propose a new protocol for implementing the two-qubit photonic phase gate. In our approach, the pi phase is acquired by mapping two single photons into atomic excitations with fermionic character and exchanging their positions. The fermionic excitations are realized as spin waves in a spin chain, while photon storage techniques provide the interface between the photons and the spin waves. Possible imperfections and experimental systems suitable for implementing the gate are discussed.

Determination of Sodium Abundance Ratio from Low-Resolution Stellar Spectra and Its Applications

description: We present a method to determine sodium-abundance ratios ([Na/Fe]) using the Na I D doublet lines in low-resolution ($R \sim$ 2000) stellar spectra. As stellar Na I D lines are blended with those produced by the interstellar medium (ISM), we developed a technique for removing the interstellar Na I D lines using the relationship between extinction, which is proportional to $E(B-V)$, and the equivalent width (EW) of the interstellar Na I D absorption lines. When measuring [Na/Fe], we also considered corrections for non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) effects. Comparisons with data from high-resolution spectroscopic surveys suggest that the expected precision of [Na/Fe] from low-resolution spectra is better than 0.3 dex for stars with [Fe/H] $>$ $-$3.0. We also present a simple application employing the estimated [Na/Fe] values for a large number of stellar spectra from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). After classifying the SDSS stars into Na-normal, Na-high, and Na-extreme, we explore their relation to stars in Galactic globular clusters (GCs). We find that, while the Na-high SDSS stars exhibit a similar metallicity distribution function (MDF) to that of the GCs, indicating that the majority of such stars may have originated from GC debris, the MDF of the Na-normal SDSS stars follows that of typical disk and halo stars. As there is a high fraction of carbon-enhanced metal-poor stars among the Na-extreme stars, they may have a non-GC origin, perhaps due to mass-transfer events from evolved binary companions.

description: In the last few years  the resolution of numerical weather prediction (nwp)  became higher and higher with the progresses of technology and knowledge. As a consequence,  a great number of initial data became fundamental for a correct initialization of the models. The potential of radar observations has long been recognized for improving the initial conditions of high-resolution nwp
models, while operational application becomes more  frequent.
The fact that many nwp centres have recently taken into operations convection-permitting forecast models, many of which assimilate radar data, emphasizes the need for an approach to providing quality information which is needed in order to avoid that radar errors degrade the model's initial conditions and, therefore, its forecasts.
Environmental risks can can be related with various causes: meteorological, seismical, hydrological/hydraulic. Flash floods have horizontal dimension of 1-20 Km and can be inserted in mesoscale gamma subscale, this scale can be modeled only with  nwp model with the highest resolution as the COSMO-2 model.  One of the problems of modeling extreme convective events is related with the atmospheric initial conditions, in fact the scale dimension for the assimilation of atmospheric condition in an high resolution model is about 10 Km, a value too high for a correct representation of convection initial conditions. Assimilation of radar data with his resolution of about of Km every  5 or 10 minutes can be a solution for this problem.
In this contribution a pragmatic and empirical approach to deriving a radar data quality description is proposed to be used in radar data assimilation and  more specifically for the latent heat nudging (lhn) scheme. Later the the  nvective capabilities of the cosmo-2 model are investigated through some case studies. Finally,  this work shows some preliminary experiments of coupling of a high resolution meteorological model with an Hydrological one.

description: The improved light-cone QCD sum rules by using chiral current correlator is systematically reviewed and applied to the calculation of all the heavy-to-light form factors, including all the semileptonic and penguin ones. By choosing suitable chiral currents, the light-cone sum rules for all the form factors are greatly simplified and depend mainly on one leading twist distribution amplitude of the light meson. As a result, relations between these form factors arise naturally. At the considered accuracy these relations reproduce the results obtained in the literature. Moreover, since the explicit dependence on the leading twist distribution amplitudes is preserved, these relations may be more useful to simulate the experimental data and extract the information on the distribution amplitude.

description: The quasiparticle interference of the spectroscopic imaging scanning tunneling microscopy has been investigated for the surface states of the large gap topological insulator Bi$_2$Te$_3$ through the T-matrix formalism. Both the scalar potential scattering and the spin-orbit scattering on the warped hexagonal isoenergy contour are considered. While backscatterings are forbidden by time-reversal symmetry, other scatterings are allowed and exhibit strong dependence on the spin configurations of the eigenfunctions at k points over the isoenergy contour. The characteristic scattering wavevectors found in our analysis agree well with recent experiment results.

description: We develop a practical and novel method for inference on intersection bounds, namely bounds defined by either the infimum or supremum of a parametric or nonparametric function, or equivalently, the value of a linear programming problem with a potentially infinite constraint set. We show that many bounds characterizations in econometrics, for instance bounds on parameters under conditional moment inequalities, can be formulated as intersection bounds. Our approach is especially convenient for models comprised of a continuum of inequalities that are separable in parameters, and also applies to models with inequalities that are non-separable in parameters. Since analog estimators for intersection bounds can be severely biased in finite samples, routinely underestimating the size of the identified set, we also offer a median-bias-corrected estimator of such bounds as a by-product of our inferential procedures. We develop theory for large sample inference based on the strong approximation of a sequence of series or kernel-based empirical processes by a sequence of "penultimate" Gaussian processes. These penultimate processes are generally not weakly convergent, and thus non-Donsker. Our theoretical results establish that we can nonetheless perform asymptotically valid inference based on these processes. Our construction also provides new adaptive inequality/moment selection methods. We provide conditions for the use of nonparametric kernel and series estimators, including a novel result that establishes strong approximation for any general series estimator admitting linearization, which may be of independent interest.

description: We investigate theoretically the onset of capillary-gravity waves created by a small object moving at the water-air interface. It is well established that, for straight uniform motion, no steady waves appear at velocities below the minimum phase velocity $c_\text{min} = 23 {\rm cm/s}$. At higher velocities the emission of capillary-gravity waves creates an additional drag force. The behavior of this force near the critical velocity is still poorly understood. A linear response theory where the object is replaced by an effective pressure source predicts a singular behavior for the wave drag. However, experimental data tends to indicate a more continuous transition. In this article, we show that a proper treatment of the flow equations around the obstacle can regularize wave emission, even in the linear wave approximation, thereby ensuring a continuous behavior of the drag force.

description: The electronic properties of a particular class of domain walls in gapped graphene are investigated. We show that they can support mid-gap states which are localized in the vicinity of the domain wall and propagate along its length. With a finite density of domain walls, these states can alter the electronic properties of gapped graphene significantly. If the mid-gap band is partially filled,the domain wall can behave like a one-dimensional metal embedded in a semi-conductor, and could potentially be used as a single-channel quantum wire.

description: Spintronics is the generic term that describes magnetic systems coupled to an electric generator, taking into account the spin attached to the charge carriers. For this topical review of {\it Spin Caloritronics}, we focus our attention on the study of {\it irreversible processes} occuring in spintronic devices, that involve both the spins of the conduction electrons and the ferromagnetic degrees of freedom. The aim of this report is to clarify the nature of the different kinds of power dissipated in metallic ferromagnets contacted to an electric generator, and to exploit it in the framework of the theory of mesoscopic non-equilibrium thermodynamics. The expression of the internal power (i.e. the internal entropy production multiplied by the temperature) dissipated by a generic system connected to different reservoirs, allows the corresponding kinetic equations to be derived with the introduction of the relevant phenomenological kinetic coefficients. After derivation of the kinetic equations for the ferromagnetic degrees of freedom (i.e. the Landau-Lifshitz equation) and the derivation of the kinetic equations for the spin-accumulation effects (within a two channel model), the kinetic equations describing spin-transfer are obtained. Both spin-dependent relaxation (usual spin-accumulation) and spin-precession in quasi-ballistic regime (transverse spin-accumulation) are taken into account. The generalization of the Landau-Lifshitz equation to spin-accumulation is then performed with the introduction of two potential energy terms, that are experimentally accessible.

description: During my Doctoral study I researched about the remote detection of canopy N concentration in forest stands, its potentials and problems, under many overlapping perspectives. The study consisted of three parts.
In S. Rossore 2000 dataset analysis, I tested regressions between N concentration and NIR reflectances derived from different sources (field samples, airborne and satellite sensors). The analysis was further expanded using a larger dataset acquired in year 2009 as part of a new campaign funded by the ESA.
In both cases, a good correlation was observed between Landsat NIR, using both TM (2009) and ETM+ (2000) imagery, and N concentration measured by a CHN elemental analyzer.
Concerning airborne sensors I did not obtain the same good results, mainly because of the large FOV of the two instruments, and to the anisotropy of vegetation reflectance. We also tested the relation between ground based ASD measures and nitrogen concentration, obtaining really good results. Thus, I decided to expand my study to the regional level, focusing only on field and satellite measures.
I analyzed a large dataset for the whole of Catalonia, Spain; MODIS imagery was used, in consideration of its spectral characteristics and despite its rather poor spatial resolution. Also in this case a regression between nitrogen concentration and reflectances was found, but not so good as in previous experiences. Moreover, vegetation type was found to play an important role in the observed relationship.
We concluded that MODIS is not the most suitable satellite sensor in realities like Italy and Catalonia, which present a patchy and inhomogeneous vegetation cover; so it could be utilized for the parameterization of eco-physiological and biogeochemical models, but not for really local nitrogen estimate. Thus multispectral sensors similar to Landsat Thematic Mapper, with better spatial resolution, could be the most appropriate sensors to estimate N concentration.

description: This thesis is about plant breeding in Early 20th-Century Italy. The stories of the two most prominent Italian plant-breeders of the time, Nazareno Strampelli and Francesco Todaro, are used to explore a fragment of the often-neglected history of Italian agricultural research. While Italy was not at the forefront of agricultural innovation, research programs aimed at varietal innovation did emerge in the country, along with an early diffusion of Mendelism. Using philosophical as well as historical analysis, plant breeding is analysed throughout this thesis as a process: a sequence of steps that lays on practical skills and theoretical assumptions, acting on various elements of production. Systematic plant-breeding programs in Italy started from small individual efforts, attracting more and more resources until they became a crucial part of the fascist regime's infamous agricultural policy. Hybrid varieties developed in the early 20th century survived World War II and are now ancestors of the varieties that are still cultivated today. Despite this relevance, the history of Italian wheat hybrids is today largely forgotten: this thesis is an effort to re-evaluate a part of it. The research did allow previously unknown or neglected facts to emerge, giving a new perspective on the infamous alliance between plant-breeding programs and the fascist regime. This thesis undertakes an analysis of Italian plant-breeding programs as processes. Those processes had a practical as well as a theoretical side, and involved various elements of production. Although a complete history of Italian plant breeding still remains to be written, the Italian case can now be considered along with the other case-studies that other scholars have developed in the history of plant breeding. The hope is that this historical and philosophical analysis will contribute to the on-going effort to understand the history of plants.

description: Experiments on (Ga,Mn)As in the low-doping insulating phase have shown evidence for the presence of an impurity band at 110 meV above the valence band. The motivation of this paper is to investigate the role of the impurity band in determining the magnetic correlations in the low-doping regime of the dilute magnetic semiconductors. For this purpose, we present results on the Haldane-Anderson model of transition-metal impurities in a semiconductor host, which were obtained by using the Hirsch-Fye Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) algorithm. In particular, we present results on the impurity-impurity and impurity-host magnetic correlations in two and three-dimensional semiconductors with quadratic band dispersions. In addition, we use the tight-binding approximation with experimentally-determined parameters to obtain the host band structure and the impurity-host hybridization for Mn impurities in GaAs. When the chemical potential is located between the top of the valence band and the impurity bound state (IBS), the impurities exhibit ferromagnetic (FM) correlations with the longest range. We show that these FM correlations are generated by the antiferromagnetic coupling of the host electronic spins to the impurity magnetic moment. Finally, we obtain an IBS energy of 100 meV, which is consistent with the experimental value of 110 meV, by combining the QMC technique with the tight-binding approach for a Mn impurity in GaAs.

Twisted geometries: A geometric parametrisation of SU(2) phase space

description: A cornerstone of the loop quantum gravity program is the fact that the phase space of general relativity on a fixed graph can be described by a product of SU(2) cotangent bundles per edge. In this paper we show how to parametrize this phase space in terms of quantities describing the intrinsic and extrinsic geometry of the triangulation dual to the graph. These are defined by the assignment to each triangle of its area, the two unit normals as seen from the two polyhedra sharing it, and an additional angle related to the extrinsic curvature. These quantities do not define a Regge geometry, since they include extrinsic data, but a looser notion of discrete geometry which is twisted in the sense that it is locally well-defined, but the local patches lack a consistent gluing among each other. We give the Poisson brackets among the new variables, and exhibit a symplectomorphism which maps them into the Poisson brackets of loop gravity. The new parametrization has the advantage of a simple description of the gauge-invariant reduced phase space, which is given by a product of phase spaces associated to edges and vertices, and it also provides an abelianisation of the SU(2) connection. The results are relevant for the construction of coherent states, and as a byproduct, contribute to clarify the connection between loop gravity and its subset corresponding to Regge geometries.

Social communications in planning
Creators: name: Carney, Pat
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this thesis is to explore the role of communications in planning and to suggest the design specifications and constraints for a social communications delivery system which will enable planners to cope with the demands of an "information ecology" (Nanus, 1972, p.398) or environment characterized by increasing flows of information and complexity of information systems. In such an environment, there is a need to provide for an element of information in the overall planning process. The use of information in planning is described as "social communications", which we have defined as "the use of information/communications systems to achieve planning objectives normally incorporating an element of social change". Our theoretical framework is based on the concept that the societal forces behind the evolution of an information ecology may be first, the emergence of the postindustrial society (Bell, 1973) in which information, or knowledge, becomes a major resource; and second, the rising demands of citizens to participate in the decision-making process, particularly when such decisions affect them. In designing our social communications delivery system, therefore, we have attempted to incorporate public participation strategies as one mode of communication. The study reviews the relevant literature in the field of planning theory, public participation and communications. It describes the essential characteristics of traditional communications modes, and presents a case study in which a public participation program was used as a social communications mode. Finally, it presents models for "one-way" and "two-way" social communications systems for incorporating public participation in a social communications program, and for a social communications delivery system which includes all three elements, e.g. both "one-way" and "two-way" channels and public participation. The study concludes that the planner may utilize a social communication system if he has a need to disseminate information about projects and policies and at least a partial need to obtain response, or feedback, from his target groups. This is likely to be the case if he is planning for innovation. It also concludes the planner's success in utilizing social communications in the planning process will depend largely on his selection of the appropriate degree of participation and mode of communication. Other essential elements are the selection of relevant units of information and the design of an efficient information delivery system. The study is based mainly on a review of the literature and interviews with officials of the Canadian Radio and Telecommunications Commission and related agencies. The study also draws on the professional work of the author when she served as Assistant Director-General, Information, Canadian Habitat Secretariat, on the occasion of the staging in Vancouver of HABITAT: United Nations Conference on Human Settlements, May 31 - June 11, 1976.
