description: The performance of persistent phosphors under given charging and working conditions is determined by the properties of the traps that are responsible for these unique properties. Traps are characterized by the height of their associated barrier for thermal detrapping, and a continuous distribution of trap depths is often found in real materials. Accurately determining trap depth distributions is hence of importance for the understanding and development of persistent phosphors. However, extracting the trap depth distribution is often hindered by the presence of a thermal barrier for charging as well, which causes a temperature-dependent filling of traps. For this case, we propose a method for extracting the trap depth distribution from a set of thermoluminescence (TL) curves obtained at different charging temperatures. The TL curves are first transformed into electron population functions via the Tikhonov regularization, assuming first-order kinetics. Subsequently, the occupation of the traps as a function of their depth, quantified by the so-called filling function, is obtained. Finally, the underlying trap depth distribution is reconstructed from the filling functions. The proposed method provides a substantial improvement in precision and resolution for the trap depth distribution compared with existing methods. This is hence a step forward in understanding the (de)trapping behavior of persistent and storage phosphors.

description: Minimization of a stochastic cost function is commonly used for approximate sampling in high-dimensional Bayesian inverse problems with Gaussian prior distributions and multimodal posterior distributions. The density of the samples generated by minimization is not the desired target density, unless the observation operator is linear, but the distribution of samples is useful as a proposal density for importance sampling or for Markov chain Monte Carlo methods. In this paper, we focus on applications to sampling from multimodal posterior distributions in high dimensions. We first show that sampling from multimodal distributions is improved by computing all critical points instead of only minimizers of the objective function. For applications to high-dimensional geoscience problems, we demonstrate an efficient approximate weighting that uses a low-rank Gauss-Newton approximation of the determinant of the Jacobian. The method is applied to two toy problems with known posterior distributions and a Darcy flow problem with multiple modes in the posterior.
title: Jugend ohne Radio
Creators: name: Köring, Ruth
Year: 2008

description: Der Anlass dieser Diplomarbeit war der Eindruck, dass immer weniger junge Menschen Radio hören. Daraus leitet sich das nach Habermas praktische Erkenntnisinteresse ab, wonach veränderte, verbesserte Lebenssituationsbezüge in Hinblick auf das Hörfunkverhalten von Jugendlichen aufgezeigt werden sollen. Aufgrund der gewonnenen Untersuchungsergebnisse soll herausgefunden werden, wie der Hörfunk für Jugendliche wieder attraktiver gemacht werden kann. Der theoretische Teil dieser Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Definition des Begriffs „Massenkommunikation“. Die Wahl zur Abstrahierung der zu untersuchenden Kommunikationsvorgänge fiel auf das Feldschema von Maletzke. Die selbstständig erarbeitete Erweiterung soll die Beziehungsstrukturen im Hörfunk im Spannungsfeld zwischen Programmverantwortlichem und Rezipienten veranschaulichen. Der empirische Teil setzt sich mit dem Rezeptionsverhalten der Jugendlichen in Bezug auf den Hörfunk und seinem Wandel auseinander. Dazu wurde eine Analyse der Radiotestdaten und der JIM-Studien 2002 – 2006 als Kontext für die Experteninterviews erstellt. Zusammenfassend lassen sich ein kontinuierlicher Verlust der Tagesreichweite und ein Rückgang der Hördauer bei den 10- bis 29-Jährigen in den letzten 5 Jahren feststellen. In erster Linie scheint diese Abnahme der Hörfunknutzung durch eine alternative Mediennutzung verursacht worden zu sein. Die Radiomacher bemängeln außerdem, dass es zu wenige Angebote für junge Hörer gibt. Ich glaube, dass in Zukunft viele Hörer das Bedürfnis haben werden, sich ihr Programm selbst individuell und zeitunabhängig aus verschiedenen Bausteinen zusammen zu bauen. Meiner Meinung nach ist die Konvergenz von Internet und Radio die adäquate Lösung für die Probleme des Hörfunks und eine Bereicherung für das Web.

description: This thesis seeks to explain the lax enforcement of tax laws in Egypt. While I acknowledge that existing explanations emphasising amongst other things the importance of low administrative capacity, neopatrimonialism, or rentseeking may discern some of the drivers of tax collection performance, I claim that other factors have been neglected. Based on a combination of historical and ethnographic research, I show how historical legacies and contemporary political dynamics intertwine and shape taxation at the three levels of microlevel tax relations, intra-bureaucratic relations, and the administrative and political leadership. I argue that deep-seated distrust on the one hand, and the consequences of a persistent but broken social contract on the other, contribute to the lax enforcement of tax laws. I show how repressive statebuilding resulted in a legacy of distrust that became institutionalised over time and that permeates tax relations to this day. I also explain how post-colonial populist state-building has led to the formation of moral economies of a “caretaker state”, widely-held norms, expectations and beliefs with respect to what the state should do for its citizens and its employees. The persistence of core aspects of this social contract until this day, in combination with its breaking by the state, shapes state and bureaucratic politics in important ways. On the one hand, tax collectors are in many different ways less inclined to do their jobs effectively and to strictly enforce the law against their fellow citizens. On the other hand, lenient enforcement is influenced by regime fears that the strict application of tax laws could provide a trigger for regimethreatening popular mobilisation. These findings make a number of different contributions to the literatures on taxation in developing countries, everyday governance and the enforcement of laws, as well as Middle East political science. Most crucially however, my research shows that both distrust and normative-ideational factors have to be taken seriously not only when it comes to explaining the willingness of taxpayer to pay, but also the willingness of tax collectors to collect.

description: A balanced sampling design should always be the adopted strategies if auxiliary information is available. Besides, integrating a stratified structure of the population in the sampling process can considerably reduce the variance of the estimators. We propose here a new method to handle the selection of a balanced sample in a highly stratified population. The method improves substantially the commonly used sampling design and reduces the time-consuming problem that could arise if inclusion probabilities within strata do not sum to an integer.

description: Anorexia nervosa (AN) is a severe psychiatric illness affecting primarily adolescent females. Although prevalence rates are low, the associated morbidity, mortality and reduced quality of life result in a severe impact on the individual and thought to incur high societal costs. Combining new analyses of a variety of data sources with existing evidence, this thesis examines the societal costs of AN for England, including treatment costs and productivity impacts, and explores why costs may vary based on individual and service characteristics. An estimate of costs for 2010/11 is presented.
 The costs of treating AN and variations in costs associated with individual and service characteristics were studied using data from the MCTAAN trial, the Care Pathways Study, and three trials from the NIHR-funded Applied Research into Anorexia Nervosa and Not Otherwise Specified Eating Disorders (ARIADNE) programme. Education attainment and longer-term productivity were studied using data from the ALSPAC and BCS-70, respectively. Results were combined with existing evidence to estimate the societal costs of AN for England.
 The costs of treatment vary by service type and service characteristics. Individual treatment costs were positively associated with age and duration of illness, and vary by care pathway. Reporting lifetime incidence of AN was associated with a greater likelihood of being sick or disabled at age 30 (economic activity status). The prevalence of AN was estimated at approximately 12,000 cases, with around 6,000 Years of Potential Life Lost per year. The annual societal costs are estimated at between £80.8 million to £251.8 million.
 Policy recommendations include an emphasis on effective and early treatment, to avoid the need for (re-) hospitalisation – a strong predictor of negative patient outcome as well as treatment costs. There is a need to improve data quality in mental health services to build evaluation capacity

description: The following combinatorial conjecture arises naturally from recent ergodic-theoretic work of Ackelsberg, Bergelson, and Best. Let $M_1$, $M_2$ be $k\times k$ integer matrices, $G$ be a finite abelian group of order $N$, and $A\subseteq G^k$ with $|A|\geαN^k$. If $M_1$, $M_2$, $M_1-M_2$, and $M_1+M_2$ are automorphisms of $G^k$, is it true that there exists a popular difference $d \in G^k\setminus\{0\}$ such that \[\#\{x \in G^k: x, x+M_1d, x+M_2d, x+(M_1+M_2)d \in A\} \ge (α^4-o(1))N^k.\] We show that this conjecture is false in general, but holds for $G = \mathbb{F}_p^n$ with $p$ an odd prime given the additional spectral condition that no pair of eigenvalues of $M_1M_2^{-1}$ (over $\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p$) are negatives of each other. In particular, the "rotated squares" pattern does not satisfy this eigenvalue condition, and we give a construction of a set of positive density in $(\mathbb{F}_5^n)^2$ for which that pattern has no nonzero popular difference. This is in surprising contrast to three-point patterns, which we handle over all compact abelian groups and which do not require an additional spectral condition.

description: A multi-agent optimization problem motivated by the management of energy systems is discussed. The associated cost function is separable and convex although not necessarily strongly convex and there exist edge-based coupling equality constraints. In this regard, we propose a distributed algorithm based on solving the dual of the augmented problem. Furthermore, we consider that the communication network might be time-varying and the algorithm might be carried out asynchronously. The time-varying nature and the asynchronicity are modeled as random processes. Then, we show the convergence and the convergence rate of the proposed algorithm under the aforementioned conditions.

description: Unsupervised pretraining is an integral part of many natural language processing systems, and transfer learning with language models has achieved remarkable results in many downstream tasks. In the clinical application of medical code assignment, diagnosis and procedure codes are inferred from lengthy clinical notes such as hospital discharge summaries. However, it is not clear if pretrained models are useful for medical code prediction without further architecture engineering. This paper conducts a comprehensive quantitative analysis of various contextualized language models' performance, pretrained in different domains, for medical code assignment from clinical notes. We propose a hierarchical fine-tuning architecture to capture interactions between distant words and adopt label-wise attention to exploit label information. Contrary to current trends, we demonstrate that a carefully trained classical CNN outperforms attention-based models on a MIMIC-III subset with frequent codes. Our empirical findings suggest directions for improving the medical code assignment application.

description: Surgical robots are usually controlled using a priori models based on the robots' geometric parameters, which are calibrated before the surgical procedure. One of the challenges in using robots in real surgical settings is that those parameters can change over time, consequently deteriorating control accuracy. In this context, our group has been investigating online calibration strategies without added sensors. In one step toward that goal, we have developed an algorithm to estimate the pose of the instruments' shafts in endoscopic images. In this study, we build upon that earlier work and propose a new framework to more precisely estimate the pose of a rigid surgical instrument. Our strategy is based on a novel pose estimation model called MBAPose and the use of synthetic training data. Our experiments demonstrated an improvement of 21 % for translation error and 26 % for orientation error on synthetic test data with respect to our previous work. Results with real test data provide a baseline for further research.

Sexuality and the Autism Spectrum: Implications for Individuals with the Broad Autism Phenotype
Creators: name: Qualls, Lydia Ruth
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries

description: Many people who are not diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) nevertheless have some symptoms of the disorder. These people are classified as having the Broad Autism Phenotype (BAP) and have some of the same difficulties as people with ASD. People with greater levels of the BAP may have difficulty in expressing their sexuality and may experience more same-sex attraction, as is commonly found in individuals with ASD. Previously, differences between individuals with higher vs. lower BAP traits have been measured categorically. In this study, my goal was to use continuous measures of BAP traits, sexual experiences, and sexual orientation in a typically developing (TD) population to see if those who have more characteristics of the BAP show similar patterns of sexual behavior and sexual orientation to those of people with ASD, as reported in the literature. I hypothesized that measures of the BAP would account for a significant amount of the variance in partnered sexual behavior, with people who have more BAP traits engaging in fewer partnered sexual behaviors. In addition, measures of the BAP were expected to account for a significant amount of the variance in sexual orientation, with people who have more BAP traits endorsing more same-sex attraction. Although BAP characteristics are not predictive of partnered sexual behaviors, one measure of BAP traits was a significant predictor of sexual orientation, β = 0.22, t = 2.72, p = .007, above and beyond the demographic variables, R² change = .04, F = 7.41, p = .007. This finding supports my hypothesis that individuals with more BAP characteristics resemble people with ASD in that they are more likely than TD individuals to experience same-sex attraction.

Creators: name: Kiràly, Zsuzsanna

description: Die kreative Anwendung userfreundlicher Kommunikationstechnologie im Web als Mittel zur Kritik, Vernetzung und Informationsbeschaffung und dessen ökonomischer Einsatz ist ein aktuell brisantes Thema. Die Blogosphäre ist ein Abbild der Stimmungen, Meinungen, Ereignisse, Debatten und Innovationen der heutigen Internetgesellschaft. Blogs als emanzipatorisches und diskursives Werkzeug bilden eine weitere Instanz der öffentlichen Teilhabe an gesellschafts-politischen Diskursen. Das soziale Netzwerk der Blogs und die Anforderungen zur Führung eines Blogs fördern die Entfaltung des Identitäts-, Informations- und Beziehungsmanagements des Individuums. Die Ausprägungen von Blogs und deren Inhalt unterliegen den dynamischen Variabeln von Zeit und gesellschaftlichem Wandel. Die Bedeutung der Blogger als Opinion Leaders und Gatekeepers und das Verhältnis der Blogosphäre zum Mediensystem ist hier von besonderem Interesse, da sich, speziell in der Blogosphäre, auf Grund gesteigerter Medienkompetenz, dem erleichterten Zugang zu Wissen im Web und der Möglichkeit freier Meinungsäußerung, zunehmend Experten und Opinion Leaders herausbilden und dank ihrer Funktion als Informationsfilter eine Gatekeeper-Rolle einnehmen. In der wissenschaftlichen Literatur, in journalistischen Artikeln und Blog-Beiträgen, ebenso wie in der hier angewandten kombinierten Methode aus E-Mail-Befragung und Experteninterview, kristallisiert sich das Bild einer sich zunehmend professionalisierenden und einflussreichen deutschen Blogosphäre heraus. Die Identifikation und Lokalisierung von Opinion Leaders in der Blogosphäre gestaltet sich als aufwendig und wird von der Blogosphäre sehr kritisch bis ablehnend aufgenommen. Stattdessen ist es zielführender von Experten und Multiplikatoren in Nischen-Blogs (Medien, Technik, Netz-Politik, Wissenschaft, Web 2.0) zu sprechen. In der deutschsprachigen Blogosphäre hat sich besonders eine medienkritische Gatekeeper-Funktion herausgebildet, die sich selbstreferentiell mit Massenmedien und Medienpolitik und deren Auswirkungen auf die Blogosphäre und die Gesellschaft beschäftigt. Diese Experten- und Filterfunktion der Blogger bestätigt die komplementäre Beziehung von Massenmedien und Blogosphäre. Die Konkurrenz-Debatte zwischen Journalismus und Blogosphäre wird somit hinfällig – besonders da Blogs und Social Web Anwendungen zunehmend in das Online-Angebot von Medienunternehmen inkludiert werden. Für die Kommunikationswissenschaft hat sich durch das Web 2.0 ein neues Forschungsgebiet aufgetan, das jedoch bisher v.a. die Blogosphäre als Forschungsgegenstand vernachlässigt. Weitere Untersuchungen zu Kommunikationsprozessen im Netzwerk der Blogosphäre im Allgemeinen und zur Persuasion und Diffusion von Themen im Netzwerk der Blogosphäre im Speziellen weisen zwar noch viele Forschungslücken, aber auch ein mindestens ebenso großes Potential auf.
Prospects of Kenaf as an Alternate Field Crop in Virginia

description: Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.), a warm-season annual plant, has shown potential as an alternate source of fiber in the United States. Although preliminary research has indicated feasibility of kenaf production in Virginia, production details are lacking. Field experiments were conducted during 1995 and 1996 to determine optimal row spacing and fertilizer needs, and to compare available kenaf cultivars. Although results indicated that differences in dry matter yields from four row spacings (30, 60, 90, and 120 cm) and four rates each of N, P, and K fertilizers (50, 100, 150, and 200 kg ha-1) were not statistically different, the yields were adequate ranging from 8.8 to 16.0 t ha-1 with an average yield of 12.5 t ha-1. Dry matter yields for narrow-leaf cultivars proved superior to broad-leaf, and the overall results demonstrate that kenaf can be easily produced in Virginia.

description: In this paper, we consider the non-symmetric positive semidefinite Procrustes (NSPSDP) problem: Given two matrices $X,Y \in \mathbb{R}^{n,m}$, find the matrix $A \in \mathbb{R}^{n,n}$ that minimizes the Frobenius norm of $AX-Y$ and which is such that $A+A^T$ is positive semidefinite. We generalize the semi-analytical approach for the symmetric positive semidefinite Procrustes problem, where $A$ is required to be positive semidefinite, that was proposed by Gillis and Sharma (A semi-analytical approach for the positive semidefinite Procrustes problem, Linear Algebra Appl. 540, 112-137, 2018). As for the symmetric case, we first show that the NSPSDP problem can be reduced to a smaller NSPSDP problem that always has a unique solution and where the matrix $X$ is diagonal and has full rank. Then, an efficient semi-analytical algorithm to solve the NSPSDP problem is proposed, solving the smaller and well-posed problem with a fast gradient method which guarantees a linear rate of convergence. This algorithm is also applicable to solve the complex NSPSDP problem, where $X,Y \in \mathbb{C}^{n,m}$, as we show the complex NSPSDP problem can be written as an overparametrized real NSPSDP problem. The efficiency of the proposed algorithm is illustrated on several numerical examples.

description: In system identification, estimating parameters of a model using limited observations results in poor identifiability. To cope with this issue, we propose a new method to simultaneously select and estimate sensitive parameters as key model parameters and fix the remaining parameters to a set of typical values. Our method is formulated as a nonlinear least squares estimator with L1-regularization on the deviation of parameters from a set of typical values. First, we provide consistency and oracle properties of the proposed estimator as a theoretical foundation. Second, we provide a novel approach based on Levenberg-Marquardt optimization to numerically find the solution to the formulated problem. Third, to show the effectiveness, we present an application identifying a biomechanical parametric model of a head position tracking task for 10 human subjects from limited data. In a simulation study, the variances of estimated parameters are decreased by 96.1% as compared to that of the estimated parameters without L1-regularization. In an experimental study, our method improves the model interpretation by reducing the number of parameters to be estimated while maintaining variance accounted for (VAF) at above 82.5%. Moreover, the variances of estimated parameters are reduced by 71.1% as compared to that of the estimated parameters without L1-regularization. Our method is 54 times faster than the standard simplex-based optimization to solve the regularized nonlinear regression.

NANOGrav signal and LIGO-Virgo Primordial Black Holes from the Higgs field
Creators: name: Yi, Zhu

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We show that the NANOGrav signal can come from the Higgs field with a noncanonical kinetic term in terms of the scalar induced gravitational waves. The scalar induced gravitational waves generated in our model are also detectable by space-based gravitational wave observatories. Primordial black holes with stellar masses that can explain LIGO-Virgo events are also produced. Therefore, the NANOGrav signal and the BHs in LIGO-Virgo events may both originate from the Higgs field.

description: We put forward a novel class of exotic celestial objects that can be produced through phase transitions occurred in the primordial Universe. These objects appear as bubbles of stellar sizes and can be dominated by primordial black holes (PBHs). We report that, due to the processes of Hawking radiation and binary evolution of PBHs inside these stellar bubbles, both electromagnetic and gravitational radiations can be emitted that are featured on the gamma-ray spectra and stochastic gravitational waves (GWs). Our results reveal that, depending on the mass distribution, the exotic stellar bubbles consisting of PBHs provide not only a decent fit for the ultrahigh-energy gamma-ray spectrum reported by the recent LHAASO experiment, but also predict GW signals that are expected to be tested by the forthcoming GW surveys.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)

description: In this paper we introduce a new column selection strategy, named here ``Deviation Maximization", and apply it to compute rank-revealing QR factorizations as an alternative to the well known block version of the QR factorization with the column pivoting method, called QP3 and currently implemented in LAPACK's xgeqp3 routine. We show that the resulting algorithm, named QRDM, has similar rank-revealing properties of QP3 and better execution times. We present numerical test results on a wide data set of numerically singular matrices, which has become a reference in the recent literature.

Orphan Crops: Unsung Heroes in the Battle Against Climate Change
Creators: name: Akshay Kumar, Aatish Kumar Sharma
Publisher: name: The Science World a monthly e magazine
Year: 2024

description: In the relentless pursuit of combating climate change, researchers are turning their attention to a group of overlooked heroes- orphan crops. These humble and often neglected plants are emerging as key players in the fight against environmental degradation, with recent data and findings shedding light on their significant impact. Orphan crops refer to a diverse group of plants that have been traditionally overlooked by mainstream agriculture in favor of more commercially viable alternatives. However, these crops are proving to be resilient in the face of climate change, offering a ray of hope for sustainable food production and environmental conservation.

A recent study conducted by the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) reveals that orphan crops play a crucial role in enhancing agricultural resilience. These crops, which include millets, sorghum, and various indigenous vegetables, have shown remarkable adaptability to changing climatic conditions, making them invaluable assets in the era of global warming. One of the key findings from the research is that orphan crops exhibit a higher tolerance to extreme weather events such as droughts and heatwaves. As climate change continues to disrupt traditional agricultural patterns, these crops provide a lifeline for farmers facing unpredictable and harsh conditions. Their ability to thrive in challenging environments not only ensures food security but also contributes to the overall stability of agricultural systems.
Determining the sensitive parameters of WRF model for the prediction of Tropical cyclones in Bay of Bengal using Global sensitivity analysis and Machine learning

description: The present study focuses on identifying the parameters from the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model that strongly influence the prediction of tropical cyclones over the Bay of Bengal (BoB) region. Three global sensitivity analysis (SA) methods namely the Morris One-at-A-Time (MOAT), Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS), and surrogate-based Sobol' are employed to identify the most sensitive parameters out of 24 tunable parameters corresponding to seven parameterization schemes of the WRF model. Ten tropical cyclones across different categories, such as cyclonic storms, severe cyclonic storms, and very severe cyclonic storms over BoB between 2011 and 2018, are selected in this study. The sensitivity scores of 24 parameters are evaluated for eight meteorological variables. The parameter sensitivity results are consistent across three SA methods for all the variables, and 8 out of the 24 parameters contribute 80%-90% to the overall sensitivity scores. It is found that the Sobol' method with Gaussian progress regression as a surrogate model can produce reliable sensitivity results when the available samples exceed 200. The parameters with which the model simulations have the least RMSE values when compared with the observations are considered as the optimal parameters. Comparing observations and model simulations with the default and optimal parameters shows that predictions with the optimal set of parameters yield a 19.65% improvement in surface wind, 6.5% in surface temperature, and 13.2% in precipitation predictions, compared to the default set of parameters.
