description: Many questions surround the nature of the relationship between homeless individuals' personal attributes, histories and problems and their recent experiences with homelessness, their current level of social and psychological functioning and their need for services. Using data collected in a major needs assessment survey of municipal shelter users in New York City, the study explores the continuities and discontinuities between different phases in the life histories of homeless men aged 28 to 50. Employing factor analysis and multiple regression methods, the study examines associations between a range of disparate variables describing experiences of childhood and adulthood as well as several current status measures. The relationship between these variables and homeless individuals' self-rated service needs is also investigated. The emerging view of the contemporary homeless population as defined by considerable heterogeneity was supported. Four broad life course dimensions (mental illness/substance abuse, childhood deprivation/family disruption, positive adjustment/achievement, delinquency/deviant behavior) were identified and described. Childhood runaway behavior, delinquency and separation from the family were found to be significantly associated with a number of specific adult outcomes and current status measures. Homeless persons' self-ratings of their need for services was found to comprise a coherent factor structure and to be associated with selected life course variables. Policy and practice implications and recommendations for future research are discussed.

description: Healthy women using contraceptives containing a low dose of an estrogen may have a higher serum concentration of cortisol (s-cortisol) and cortisol binding globulin (s-CBG) than the commonly used upper reference limits. There are no published reference intervals for s-cortisol, s-CBG, serum free cortisol index (s-FCI) or cortisol in saliva (sa-cortisol) for these women. The aim was to establish the above-mentioned reference intervals and document the differences in s-cortisol and s-CBG in one group of women using and another group not using ethinyl estradiol (EE). In this cross-sectional study, the reference limits presented were given as the 2.5 and 97.5 percentiles of the distribution of reference values in a population of 277 healthy volunteer women, aged 18–45 years. 157 women were not using any type of estrogen, while 120 women were using contraceptives containing a daily dose of 15–35 μg of EE. Serum and salivary cortisol, and serum CBG were measured using standard laboratory methods. S-FCI was calculated as s-cortisol/s-CBG. The reference intervals for s-cortisol in samples collected at 0800–1030 am in women using and not using EE contraception were: 284–994 nmol/L and 159–569 nmol/L respectively, and for s-CBG: 847–3366 nmol/L and 860–1940 nmol/L, respectively. For s-FCI and sa-cortisol, no clinically significant differences were found. Sa-cortisol may be the preferred measurand for evaluation of possible hypercortisolism in women using estrogens, since cortisol in saliva is not influenced by estrogen. If assessing morning s-cortisol and s-CBG in women using EE, we recommend using separate – and not the commonly used – reference intervals.

description: We present the MMHT2015qed PDF set, resulting from the inclusion of QED corrections to the existing set of MMHT Parton Distribution Functions (PDFs), and which contain the photon PDF of the proton. Adopting an input distribution from the LUXqed formulation, we discuss our methods of including QED effects for the full, coupled DGLAP evolution of all partons with QED at $\mathcal{O}(α)$, $\mathcal{O}(αα_{S})$, $\mathcal{O}(α^2)$. While we find consistency for the photon PDF of the proton with other recent sets, building on this we also present a set of QED corrected neutron PDFs and provide the photon PDF separated into its elastic and inelastic contributions. The effect of QED corrections on the other partons and the fit quality is investigated, and the sources of uncertainty for the photon are outlined. Finally we explore the phenomenological implications of this set, giving the partonic luminosities for both the elastic and inelastic contributions to the photon and the effect of our photon PDF on fits to high mass Drell-Yan production, including the photon--initiated channel.

description: Swift and accurate blood smear analysis is an effective diagnostic method for leukemia and other hematological malignancies. However, manual leukocyte count and morphological evaluation using a microscope is time-consuming and prone to errors. Conventional image processing methods also exhibit limitations in differentiating cells due to the visual similarity between malignant and benign cell morphology. This limitation is further compounded by the skewed training data that hinders the extraction of reliable and pertinent features. In response to these challenges, we propose an optimized Coupled Transformer Convolutional Network (CoTCoNet) framework for the classification of leukemia, which employs a well-designed transformer integrated with a deep convolutional network to effectively capture comprehensive global features and scalable spatial patterns, enabling the identification of complex and large-scale hematological features. Further, the framework incorporates a graph-based feature reconstruction module to reveal the hidden or unobserved hard-to-see biological features of leukocyte cells and employs a Population-based Meta-Heuristic Algorithm for feature selection and optimization. To mitigate data imbalance issues, we employ a synthetic leukocyte generator. In the evaluation phase, we initially assess CoTCoNet on a dataset containing 16,982 annotated cells, and it achieves remarkable accuracy and F1-Score rates of 0.9894 and 0.9893, respectively. To broaden the generalizability of our model, we evaluate it across four publicly available diverse datasets, which include the aforementioned dataset. This evaluation demonstrates that our method outperforms current state-of-the-art approaches. We also incorporate an explainability approach in the form of feature visualization closely aligned with cell annotations to provide a deeper understanding of the framework.
Correlations of azimuthal anisotropy Fourier harmonics with subevent cumulants in pPb collisions at $\sqrt{s_\mathrm{NN}} =$ 8.16 TeV

description: Event-by-event correlations of azimuthal anisotropy Fourier coefficients ($v_n$) in 8.16 TeV pPb collision data, collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC, are extracted using a subevent four-particle cumulant technique. Each combination of four charged particles are selected from either two, three, or four distinct subevent regions of a pseudorapidity range from $-$2.4 to 2.4 of the CMS tracker, and with transverse momentum between 0.3 and 3.0 GeV. Using the subevent cumulant technique, correlations between $v_n$ of different orders are measured as functions of particle multiplicity and compared to the standard cumulant method without subevents over a wide event multiplicity range. At high multiplicity, the $v_2$ and $v_3$ coefficients exhibit an anticorrelation; this behavior is observed consistently using various methods. The $v_2$ and $v_4$ correlation strength is found to depend on the number of subevents used in the calculation. As the event multiplicity decreases, the results from different subevent methods diverge because of different contributions of non-collective or few-particle correlations. Correlations extracted with the four-subevent method exhibit a tendency to diminish monotonically toward the lowest multiplicity region (about 20 charged tracks) investigated. These findings extend previous studies to a significantly lower event multiplicity range and establish the evidence for the onset of long-range collective multiparticle correlations in small system collisions.

description: C$_λ$-extended oscillator algebras, where C$_λ$ is the cyclic group of order $λ$, are introduced and realized as generalized deformed oscillator algebras. For $λ=2$, they reduce to the well-known Calogero-Vasiliev algebra. For higher $λ$ values, they are shown to provide in their bosonic Fock space representation some interesting applications to supersymmetric quantum mechanics and some variants thereof: an algebraic realization of supersymmetric quantum mechanics for cyclic shape invariant potentials of period $λ$, a bosonization of parasupersymmetric quantum mechanics of order $p = λ-1$, and, for $λ=3$, a bosonization of pseudosupersymmetric quantum mechanics and orthosupersymmetric quantum mechanics of order two.

Disability Income Insurance - The Australian Experience 1980-2001

Publisher: name: The Australian National University

Subjects: disability insurance, seasonality

description: This thesis examines the experience of disability income insurance in Australia from 1980 to 2001. The data underlying the work was generously provided by the Institute of Actuaries of Australia which has collected data from the major companies which have written this business since 1976. The focus in this work is on the claims behaviour of those who have been insured and the implications to be drawn from the observations about that behaviour. This information is intended to be valuable to individual companies as they seek to make decisions about their pricing, underwriting and claims management so as to ensure adequate profitability of this line of business. The work demonstrates the following key conclusions. There have been very radical changes in the characteristics of the business over the period and in the resulting experience. In particular, the claim termination experience has deteriorated dramatically with average claim durations now around twice that at the start of the period, the structure of IAD8993 is no longer representative of the aggregate industry experience. This is particularly so in respect to incidence, where only one of the six characteristics included has its 'shape' confirmed by the experience. The other five have statistically significant evidence that their 'shape' is not consistent with the experience. For terminations three of the six are confirmed. Many of the additional characteristics examined demonstrate that they are significant predictors of experience. In respect to incidence six of the eight examined were significant. In respect to terminations only two of the eight were significant. There is a material element of seasonality in respect to both incidence and terminations. While the Australian experience is materially better than the corresponding USA experience the worsening experience for medical occupations in the USA should be taken as a warning to Australia of the potential which exists in this occupation subclass. There is a serious body of circumstantial evidence supporting the hypothesis that the experience of disability income insurance is significantly influenced by 'state of mind' rather than 'state of body'.

description: The increasingly large number of complex organic molecules detected in the interstellar medium necessitates robust kinetic models that can be relied upon for investigating the involved chemical processes. Such models require rate constants for each of the thousands of reactions; the values of these are often estimated or extrapolated, leading to large uncertainties that are rarely quantified. We have performed a global Monte Carlo and a more local one-at-a-time sensitivity analysis on the gas-phase rate coefficients in a 3-phase dark cloud model. Time-dependent sensitivities have been calculated using four metrics to determine key reactions for the overall network as well as for the cyanonaphthalene molecule in particular, an important interstellar species that is severely under-produced by current models. All four metrics find that reactions involving small, reactive species that initiate hydrocarbon growth have large effects on the overall network. Cyanonaphthalene is most sensitive to a number of these reactions as well as ring-formation of the phenyl cation (C6H5+) and aromatic growth from benzene to naphthalene. Future efforts should prioritize constraining rate coefficients of key reactions and expanding the network surrounding these processes. These results highlight the strength of sensitivity analysis techniques to identify critical processes in complex chemical networks, such as those often used in astrochemical modeling.

Integration of mine development planning and reclamation at a plains coal strip mine : the Highvale Mine experience

description: The Highvale Mine is located in Central Alberta, 65 km west of Edmonton. It is the largest of several coal strip mines operating in agricultural areas of Alberta. Government guidelines require that mined land be returned to a capability equivalent to or better than that which existed before mining. Mine development planning, driven primarily by the economic extraction of coal, must also incorporate the goal of satisfactory reclamation. Satisfactory reclamation can only be achieved where land capability objectives are clearly stated along with the system by which it is measured. Planning at the Highvale Mine incorporates an assessment of premine capability in order to establish targets for the reclaimed landscape. To achieve these capability targets significant efforts are made in preparing soil material handling plans which achieve the dual goals of economic extraction of coal, and return of mined land to an acceptable capability. Optimization of soil handling, especially through reduction of soil transport or storage, has been effectively integrated into mine development plans with the use of a geographic information system. Current research into alternative methods of salvage combined with continued assessment of the suitability of overburden material points to success.

description: We describe a physical model of the outflows produced as a result of gas accretion onto a black hole, and the resultant changes to star formation rates and efficiencies in galaxies, using the Radio-SAGE semi-analytic galaxy formation model. We show that the ratio of outflow rate to SFR of galaxies is mainly driven by black hole mass and virial halo mass, and show that the SFR is higher than the outflow rate at low black hole masses. The model consistently reproduces the observed evolution of star formation rate density from z = 6 to z = 0, as well as the trend of the stellar mass - halo mass relations. We show the characteristic growth of massive galaxies influenced by AGN feedback at different redshifts. We find feedback to be prevalent in the most massive galaxy halos, inhibiting the cooling catastrophe.

description: Classifying inflationary scenarios according to their scaling properties is a powerful way to connect theory with observations. A useful tool to make such a classification is the beta-function formalism. By describing inflation in terms of renormalization group equations, within this framework, it is possible to define universality classes, which can be considered as sets of theories that share a common scale invariant limit. In this paper we apply the formalism to define such classes of universality for models of inflation where the inflaton is coupled to gauge fields. We show that the formalism may consistently be extended to capture the peculiar features of these models such as statistical anisotropy. We also obtain some consistency conditions which serve as useful guidelines for model building.

description: We consider the task of training a neural network to anticipate human actions in video. This task is challenging given the complexity of video data, the stochastic nature of the future, and the limited amount of annotated training data. In this paper, we propose a novel knowledge distillation framework that uses an action recognition network to supervise the training of an action anticipation network, guiding the latter to attend to the relevant information needed for correctly anticipating the future actions. This framework is possible thanks to a novel loss function to account for positional shifts of semantic concepts in a dynamic video. The knowledge distillation framework is a form of self-supervised learning, and it takes advantage of unlabeled data. Experimental results on JHMDB and EPIC-KITCHENS dataset show the effectiveness of our approach.

description: It is shown that an n-dimensional unimodular lattice has minimal norm at most 2[n/24] +2, unless n = 23 when the bound must be increased by 1. This result was previously known only for even unimodular lattices. Quebbemann had extended the bound for even unimodular lattices to strongly N-modular even lattices for N in {1,2,3,5,6,7,11,14,15,23} ... (*), and analogous bounds are established here for odd lattices satisfying certain technical conditions (which are trivial for N = 1 and 2). For N > 1 in (*), lattices meeting the new bound are constructed that are analogous to the ``shorter'' and ``odd'' Leech lattices. These include an odd associate of the 16-dimensional Barnes-Wall lattice and shorter and odd associates of the Coxeter-Todd lattice. A uniform construction is given for the (even) analogues of the Leech lattice, inspired by the fact that (*) is also the set of square-free orders of elements of the Mathieu group M_{23}.

description: For any finite-dimensional Lie bialgebra $g$, we construct a bialgebra $A_{u,v}(g)$ over the ring $C[u][[v]]$, which quantizes simultaneously the universal enveloping bialgebra $U({g})$, the bialgebra dual to $U(g^*)$, and the symmetric bialgebra $S(g)$. We call $A_{u,v}(g)$ a biquantization of $S(g)$. We show that the bialgebra $A_{u,v}(g^*)$ quantizing $U(g^*)$, $U(g)^*$, and $S(g^*)$ is essentially dual to the bialgebra obtained from $A_{u,v}(g)$ by exchanging $u$ and $v$. Thus, $A_{u,v}(g)$ contains all information about the quantization of $g$. Our construction extends Etingof and Kazhdan's one-variable quantization of $U(g)$.

description: There are many natural and man-made materials with heterogeneous micro- or nanostructure (fine-scale structure) which represent a great interest for industry. Therefore there is a great demand for computational methods capable to model mechanical behavior of such materials. Direct numerical simulation resolving all fine-scale details using very fine mesh often becomes very expensive. One of alternative effective group of methods is the homogenization methods allowing to model behavior of materials with heterogeneous fine-scale structure. The essence of homogenization is to replace heterogeneous material with some equivalent effectively homogeneous material. The homogenization methods are proven to be effective in certain classes of problems while there is need to improve their performance, which includes extension of the range of applicability, simplification, usage with conventional FE software and reducing computational cost. In this dissertation methods extending the range of applicability of homogenization are developed. Firstly, homogenization was extended of the case of full nonlinear electromechanical coupling with large deformations, which allows simulating effectively behavior of electroactive materials such as composites made of electroactive polymers. Secondly, homogenization was extended on wave problems where dispersion is significant and should be accounted for. Finally, the homogenization was extended on the case where the size of microstructure. The distinctive feature of the methods introduced in this dissertation is that they don't require higher order derivatives and can be implemented with conventional FE codes. The performance of methods is tested on various examples using Abaqus.

description: Coastal governance in Indonesia is entering a new phase with new administration mechanisms, following the changes of political, administrative and fiscal framework resulting from decentralisation policy. For the first time provincial and district governments have mandates, resources, and responsibilities to manage their coastal zones. To this point, only a few studies have been conducted that focus on the analysis of effective coastal zone management (CZM) at district level in Indonesia under the decentralisation setting This dissertation presents a study of decentralized CZM in eastern Indonesia based on case studies of two districts in Sulawesi Island, Kabupaten Konawe in Southeast Sulawesi and Kabupaten Pangkajene dan Kepulauan (Pangkep) in South Sulawesi. The dissertation focuses on these district local governments’ responses to decentralisation policy in managing their coastal zones. This new shift is very significant in the sector of marine and coastal governance in Indonesia. This research applied qualitative methods through in-depth and semi-structured interviews as well as field-site observations. I argue that the dynamic of the local socio-political context and the interaction of local actors, such as Heads of District (Bupati), determine the effectiveness of decentralized coastal zone management. … The findings of this research indicate that the signs and seeds for effective decentralized CZM implementation in Konawe and Pangkep exist in some aspects, and can be built upon to achieve more successful practices in decentralized CZM. This dissertation holds several implications for decentralization studies on CZM issues, such as whether decentralized CZM is linear with improving accountability mechanisms. It calls for better understanding of role of various forms of accountability in decentralized CZM, and its linkage with local-central governance arrangements. Replicating this study in other parts of Indonesia could provide a more complete comparison of decentralized CZM implementation. The degrees of variation in research findings are important to canvass in order to add to the lessons learnt from decentralized CZM implementation.

description: We study the rigid generic fiber $\mathcal{X}^\square_{\overlineρ}$ of the framed deformation space of the trivial representation $\overlineρ: G_K \to \text{GL}_n(k)$ where $k$ is a finite field of characteristic $p>0$ and $G_K$ is the absolute Galois group of a finite extension $K/\mathbf{Q}_p$. Under some mild conditions on $K$ we prove that $\mathcal{X}^\square_{\overlineρ}$ is normal. When $p > n$ we describe its irreducible components, and show Zariski density of its crystalline points.

description: The photocatalytic activity of graphene oxide (GO) and zinc oxide composite was explored. The composites were prepared in three different ratios: GO:ZnO (1:1), (1:2) and (2:1) by mechanochemical method (grinding) of the two components. Graphene oxide was synthesized by three different methods namely Hummer’s, modified Hummer’s and Tour’s method. It was observed that composite of GO-ZnO (2:1) gave better results. The photocatalytic efficiency of the composite was evaluated using Victoria blue B as a model pollutant. It was found to be even better than zinc oxide. The reusability of the composite was also confirmed.

description: Let M(f) denote the Midpoint Rule and T(f) the Trapezoidal Rule for estimating integral_a^b f(x) dx. Then Simpson's Rule = tM(f) + (1-t)T(f), where t = 2/3. We generalize Simpson's Rule to multiple integrals as follows. Let D be some polygonal region in R^n, let P_0,...,P_m denote the vertices of D, and let P_(m+1) = center of mass of D. Define the linear functionals M(f) = Vol(D)f(P_(m+1)), which generalizes the Midpoint Rule, and T(f) = Vol(D)(1/(m+1))sum(f(P_j), j = 0,...,m), which generalizes the Trapezoidal Rule. Finally, our generalization of Simpson's Rule is given by the cubature rule(CR) L_t = tM(f) + (1-t)T(f), for t in [0,1]. We choose t, depending on D, so that L_t is exact for polynomials of as large a degree as possible. In particular we derive CRs for the n simplex and unit n cube.

description: Seismogenic plate boundaries are presumed to behave in a similar manner to a densely packed granular medium, where fault and blocks systems rapidly rearrange the distribution of forces within themselves, as particles do in slowly sheared granular systems. We use machine learning and show that statistical features of velocity signals from individual particles in a simulated sheared granular fault contain information regarding the instantaneous global state of intermittent frictional stick-slip dynamics. We demonstrate that combining features built from the signals of more particles can improve the accuracy of the global model, and discuss the physical basis behind decrease in error. We show that the statistical features such as median and higher moments of the signals that represent the particle displacement in the direction of shearing are among the best predictive features. Our work provides novel insights into the applications of machine learning in studying frictional processes that take place in geophysical systems.
Homogenization of Partial Differential Equations with Random, Large Potential
Creators: Zhang, Ningyao
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Mathematics
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Partial differential equations with highly oscillatory, random coefficients describe many applications in applied science and engineering such as porous media and composite materials. Homogenization of PDE states that the solution of the initial model converges to the solution to a macro model, which is characterized by the PDE with homogenized coefficients. Particularly, we study PDEs with a large potential, a class of PDEs with a potential properly scaled such that the limiting equation has a non-trivial (non-zero) potential.
This thesis consists of the investigation of three issues. The first issue is the convergence of Schodinger equation to a deterministic homogenized PDE in high dimension. The second issue is the convergence of the same equation to a stochastic PDE in low dimension. The third issue is the convergence of elliptic equation with an imaginary potential.

description: This study identifies developmental processes underlying the relationship between school bullying and physical aggression in emergent adulthood. The data are drawn from the ‘Life at School’ project, a longitudinal study of schooling, socio-emotional functioning, and bullying in a sample of young people living in the Australian Capital Territory. This study consists of three waves of self-report data collected from 88 females and 63 males (N=151) during primary school (Time 1), high school (Time 2) and emerging adulthood (Time 3). The study extends earlier analyses to consider the relative significance of distal functioning and the proximal effects of heavy drinking and work/study roles during the transition to emerging adulthood in shaping pathways from school bullying to adult aggression. … The analyses show that the expression of bullying and adult physical aggression is flexible, open at each stage of development to influence from personal resources (e.g., capacity for adaptive shame management), social resources (e.g., parental education), and changing institutional settings, through for example the cultural and behavioural norms that characterise the university, workplace, and drinking environments and which constrain aggressive behaviour or promote a sense of future orientation. Patterns of adult aggressive behaviours are thus shaped not just by past bullying, but by the subtle interplay of emergent adult settings and experiences, socio-emotional functioning in school contexts, and family social capital.

description: Conflict between returning and non-migrant populations is a pervasive yet frequently overlooked issue in post-conflict societies. While scholars have demonstrated how out-migration can exacerbate civil war, less is understood about what happens when the same populations return. This dissertation interrogates how legacies of forced migration influence conflict dynamics in countries-of-origin. I argue that return migration creates new social divisions in local communities based on where individuals lived during the war – in-country or abroad. These new cleavages become sources of conflict when institutions – like land codes, citizenship regimes, or language laws – provide differential outcomes to individuals based on their migration history. Using ethnographic evidence gathered in Burundi and Tanzania between 2014 and 2016, I demonstrate how refugee return to Burundi after the country’s 1993-2003 civil war created new identity divisions between so-called rapatriés and résidents. Local institutions governing land disputes hardened competition between these groups, leading to widespread, violent, local conflict. Consequently, when Burundi faced a national-level political crisis in 2015, prior experiences of return shaped both the character and timing of renewed refugee flight. By illuminating the role of reverse population movements in shaping future conflict, this study demonstrates why breaking the cycle of return and repeat migration is essential to conflict prevention.
Delamination Properties of a Vinyl-Ester/Glass Fibre Composite Toughened by Particulate-Modified Interlayers
Creators: name: Stevanovic, Dejan
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2001

description: The main aim of this work is to examine fracture toughness improvement mechanisms of a composite material containing tough interlayers modified with large thermoplastic particles. ¶ Various vinyl-ester (VE)/ poly(acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene) (ABS) blends were used for the interlayer-toughening of a VE/glass fibre composite to increase delamination resistance of the material under mode I and mode II loading. Dry ABS powder was mixed with the liquid resin in four different weight ratios: 3.5, 7, 11 and 15 phr (parts per hundred parts of resin) while the layer thickness was varied from 150 to 500um. Firstly, the tensile and mode I fracture toughness properties of the VE/ABS blends were assessed, and, by using the Raman Spectroscopy technique, a chemical reaction was discovered which occurred during ABS/VE mixing. This reaction consisted of butadiene dissolution from the ABS particles into the VE. Also, butadiene saturation within the VE was achieved at a composition of around 7% ABS particle content. Both mode I and mode II fracture toughness of the composite were significantly improved with the application of interlayers. Mode I fracture toughness GIc was found to be a function of interlayer thickness and ABS particle content variations, with the latter dominating GIc after the saturation point. Mode II fracture toughness was found to be independent of interlayer thickness and only moderately influenced by particle content. The toughening mechanisms that were the most influential within this interlayered material were plastic deformation and micro-cracking of the layer materials. Evidence of both mechanisms was found using optical and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). ¶ A numerical analysis was conducted, using the experimental results from this study, to further explain the basic toughening mechanisms and fracture behaviour in the materials. The aim of the analysis was to examine the influence of the particles on the plastic zone size that develops in front of the crack tip, and the interaction between the particles and the crack tip. For this purpose FEA elastic-plastic crack propagation models were employed. Good agreement with the experimental data was found.
