On the 4 by 4 Irreducible Sign Pattern Matrices that Require Four Distinct Eigenvalues
Creators: name: Kim, Paul
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2011

description: A sign pattern matrix is a matrix whose entries are from the set {+,-,0}. For a real matrix B, sgn(B) is the sign pattern matrix obtained by replacing each positive(respectively, negative, zero) entry of B by + (respectively, -, 0). For a sign pattern matrix A, the sign pattern class of A, denoted Q(A), is defined as {B: sgn(B) = A}.
An n by n sign pattern matrix A requires all distinct eigenvalues if every real matrix whose sign pattern is represented by A has n distinct eigenvalues. In this thesis, a number of sufficient and/or necessary conditions for a sign pattern to reuiqre all distinct eigenvalues are reviewed. In addition, for n=2 and 3, the n by n sign patterns that require all distinct eigenvalues are surveyed. We determine most of the 4 by 4 irreducible sign patterns that require four distinct eigenvalues.

description: Background:
 To summarize the efficacy of the non-activated four-factor PCC (4F-PCC) *Beriplex®/Kcentra® (CSL Behring) in controlling acute NOAC-associated bleeding in an in vivo rabbit model.To evaluate correlations between in vivo measures of haemostasis and in vitro coagulation parameters.
Main conclusions:

In this rabbit model of acute haemorrhage 4F-PCC, administered at a clinically relevant dose range, showed potential for controlling NOAC-associated bleeding for all NOACs tested, including direct FIIa inhibitor dabigatran, and FXa inhibitors edoxaban, rivaroxaban and apixaban. These data suggest that 4F-PCC may be an option for the treatment of major bleeding in the presence of NOAC mediated anticoagulation.  Further clinical data in human patients are required to confirm these results.

Subjects: subject: Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)

subject: 68T20

description: The search for binary sequences with low peak sidelobe level value represents a formidable computational problem. To locate better sequences for this problem, we designed a stochastic algorithm that uses two fitness functions. In these fitness functions, the value of the autocorrelation function has a different impact on the final fitness value. It is defined with the value of the exponent over the autocorrelation function values. Each function is used in the corresponding optimization phase, and the optimization process switches between these two phases until the stopping condition is satisfied. The proposed algorithm was implemented using the compute unified device architecture and therefore allowed us to exploit the computational power of graphics processing units. This algorithm was tested on sequences with lengths $L = 2^m - 1$, for $14 \le m \le 20$. From the obtained results it is evident that the usage of two fitness functions improved the efficiency of the algorithm significantly, new-best known solutions were achieved, and the achieved PSL values were significantly less than $\sqrt{L}$.

Revisiting the Dimensions of Residential Segregation
Creators: name: Sharp, Harry
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2011

description: The first major work to analyze the dimensions of segregation, done in the late 1980s by Massey and Denton, found five dimensions which explained the phenomenon of segregation. Since the original work was done in 1988 it seems relevant to revisit the issue with new data. Massey and Denton used the technique of factor analysis to identify the latent structure underlying the phenomenon. In this research their methodology is applied to a more complete data set from the 1980 Census to confirm their results and extend the methodology.  Due to problems identified during the analysis confirmation was not possible.  However, a simpler structure was identified which is comprised of only two factors.  This structure is replicated when the methodology is applied to the 1990 and 2000 Census data thereby proving the robustness of the methodology.
An alternative circular smoothing method to nonparametric estimation of periodic functions
Creators: name: Xu, Zheng
Publisher: name: Taylor & Francis
Year: 2016

description: This article provides alternative circular smoothing methods in nonparametric estimation of periodic functions. By treating the data as ‘circular’, we solve the “boundary issue” in the nonparametric estimation treating the data as ‘linear’. By redefining the distance metric and signed distance, we modify many estimators used in the situations involving periodic patterns. In the perspective of ‘nonparametric estimation of periodic functions’, we present the examples in nonparametric estimation of (1) a periodic function, (2) multiple periodic functions, (3) an evolving function, (4) a periodically varying-coefficient model and (5) a generalized linear model with periodically varying coefficient. In the perspective of ‘circular statistics’, we provide alternative approaches to calculate the weighted average and evaluate the ‘linear/circular–linear/circular’ association and regression. Simulation studies and an empirical study of electricity price index have been conducted to illustrate and compare our methods with other methods in the literature.

The Path from Foster Care to Permanence: Does Proximity Outweigh Stability?
Creators: name: Fost, Michael
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2011

description: This thesis investigates the relationship between foster care placement settings and discharges.  Placement settings are where foster children live:  foster homes, group homes, etc.  There may be one or several placements for any individual child.   In the interest of stability, federal funding to states depends in part on low numbers of placement moves.  Federal reviews, however, do not consider whether the placement settings resemble permanent family life (foster homes compared to congregate care) or the direction of placement moves.  Competing risks regression was used to analyze time to discharge data of foster children in Georgia.  Discharges (competing risks) were compared based on the number and the direction of placement moves.  Children with movement patterns that favored placements similar to permanent family life were found to have higher probabilities of discharges to safe permanence.  This thesis promotes ?proximity to permanence? as an important, but often overlooked, consideration in foster care placements.

The econometric analysis of mixed frequency data sampling

Publisher: name: Elsevier
Year: 2016

description: Economic time series are sampled at different frequencies.
Innovations in computer technology have made it possible to
easily collect and store large datasets. One consequence of this
is that many time series are recorded at very high sampling
frequencies. Think of time series pertaining to financial markets
that are available on a daily or even intra-daily basis. Yet, there
are still many economic time series that are costly to collect
and thus available at a lower frequency. Examples include many
macroeconomic real activity series that have maintained the
traditional monthly or quarterly collection and release scheme.
Census data is an even more extreme example of low frequency
sampling.

Estimation of the Optimal Threshold Using Kernel Estimate and ROC Curve Approaches
Creators: name: Zhu, Zi
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2011

description: Credit Line Analysis plays a very important role in the housing market, especially with the situation of large number of frozen loans during the current financial crisis.  In this thesis, we apply the methods of kernel estimate and the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve in the credit loan application process in order to help banks select the optimal threshold to differentiate good customers from bad customers.   Better choice of the threshold is essential for banks to prevent loss and maximize profit from loans.  One of the main advantages of our study is that the method does not require us to specify the distribution of the latent risk score.  We apply bootstrap method to construct the confidence interval for the estimate.

description: We make a rigorous analysis of the existence and characterization of the free boundary related to the optimal stopping problem that maximizes the mean of an Ornstein--Uhlenbeck bridge. The result includes the Brownian bridge problem as a limit case. The methodology hereby presented relies on a time-space transformation that casts the original problem into a more tractable one with an infinite horizon and a Brownian motion underneath. We comment on two different numerical algorithms to compute the free-boundary equation and discuss illustrative cases that shed light on the boundary's shape. In particular, the free boundary generally does not share the monotonicity of the Brownian bridge case.

Interval Estimation for the Correlation Coefficient
Creators: name: Jung, Aekyung
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2011

description: The correlation coefficient (CC) is a standard measure of the linear association between two random variables. The CC plays a significant role in many quantitative researches. In a bivariate normal distribution, there are many types of interval estimation for CC, such as z-transformation and maximum likelihood estimation based methods. However, when the underlying bivariate distribution is unknown, the construction of confidence intervals for the CC is still not well-developed. In this thesis, we discuss various interval estimation methods for the CC. We propose a generalized confidence interval and three empirical likelihood-based non-parametric intervals for the CC. We also conduct extensive simulation studies to compare the new intervals with existing intervals in terms of coverage probability and interval length. Finally, two real examples are used to demonstrate the application of the proposed methods.
Gridless Water Configurations: Integrating informal water activities and arrangements for equitable urban water development in India and Kenya
Creators: name: Asvanon, Raja
Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 440714
subject: Urban policy

description: In emerging cities, municipal utilities have had difficulties keeping up with rapid rates of urban migration. Efforts to expand central water pipe systems in cities such as Bangalore, India and Nakuru, Kenya have been unable to ensure fair and equitable access for growing low-income and informal settlements. To better understand the effects of this, we developed the concept of gridless water configurations (GWCs) to analyze the informal and local water practices that arise to fill gaps left by inadequate centralized water distribution systems. Using key informant and focus group interviews, we investigate GWCs in these two cities to reveal new sets of hydrosocial issues that lie beyond the bounds of conventional water management. Accounting for and engaging with GWCs like borewells and rainwater harvesting – as well as the gaps they are filling – can help make more efficient and equitable policy and governance by bringing in need-driven perspectives from local contexts.
Prevalence of Chronic Diseases and Risk Factors for Death among Elderly Americans
Creators: name: Han, Guangming
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2011

description: The main aim of this study is to explore the effects of risk factors contributing to death in the elderly American population. To achieve this purpose, we constructed Cox proportional hazard regression models and logistic regression models with the complex survey dataset from the national Second Longitudinal Study of Aging (LSOA II) to calculate the hazard ratios (HR)/odds ratios (OR) and confidence interval (CI) of risk factors. Our results show that in addition to chronic disease conditions, many risk factors, such as demographic factors (gender and age), social factors (interaction with friends or relatives), personal health behaviors (smoking and exercise), and biomedical factors (Body mass index and emotional factors) have significant effects on death in the elderly American population. This will provide important information for elderly people to prolong lifespan regardless of whether they have chronic disease/diseases or not.
Analysis of Dependently Truncated Sample Using Inverse Probability Weighted Estimator
Creators: name: Liu, Yang
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2011

description: Many statistical methods for truncated data rely on the assumption that the failure and truncation time are independent, which can be unrealistic in applications. The study cohorts obtained from bone marrow transplant (BMT) registry data are commonly recognized as truncated samples, the time-to-failure is truncated by the transplant time. There are clinical evidences that a longer transplant waiting time is a worse prognosis of survivorship. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume the dependence between transplant and failure time. To better analyze BMT registry data, we utilize a Cox analysis in which the transplant time is both a truncation variable and a predictor of the time-to-failure. An inverse-probability-weighted (IPW) estimator is proposed to estimate the distribution of transplant time. Usefulness of the IPW approach is demonstrated through a simulation study and a real application.

description: Pinched Veronese rings are formed by removing an algebra generator from a Veronese subring of a polynomial ring. We study the homological properties of such rings, including the Cohen-Macaulay, Gorenstein, and complete intersection properties. Greco and Martino classified Cohen-Macaulayness of pinched Veronese rings by the maximum entry of the exponent vector of the pinched monomial; we re-prove their results with semigroup methods and correct an omission of a small class of examples of Cohen-Macaulay pinched Veronese rings. When the underlying field is of prime characteristic, we show that pinched Veronese rings exhibit a variety of F-singularities, including F-regular, F-injective, and F-nilpotent. We also compute upper bounds on the Frobenius test exponents of pinched Veronese rings, a computational invariant which controls the Frobenius closure of all parameter ideals simultaneously.

By using the absorbing method, we give a short proof that in a balanced tripartite graph , if every vertex is adjacent to of the vertices in each of the other vertex partitions, then  has a -tiling. Previously, Magyar and Martin [11] proved the same result (without ) by using the Regularity Lemma.
In a 3-uniform hypergraph , let  denote the minimum number of edges that contain  for all pairs  of vertices. We show that if , there exists a -tiling that misses at most  vertices of . On the other hand, we show that there exist hypergraphs  such that  and  does not have a perfect -tiling. These extend the results of Pikhurko [12] on -tilings.
Jackknife Empirical Likelihood for the Accelerated Failure Time Model with Censored Data
Creators: name: Bouadoumou, Maxime
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2011

description: Kendall and Gehan estimating functions are used to estimate the regression parameter in accelerated failure time (AFT) model with censored observations. The accelerated failure time model is the preferred survival analysis method because it maintains a consistent association between the covariate and the survival time. The jackknife empirical likelihood method is used because it overcomes computation difficulty by circumventing the construction of the nonlinear constraint. Jackknife empirical likelihood turns the statistic of interest into a sample mean based on jackknife pseudo-values. U-statistic approach is used to construct the confidence intervals for the regression parameter. We conduct a simulation study to compare the Wald-type procedure, the empirical likelihood, and the jackknife empirical likelihood in terms of coverage probability and average length of confidence intervals. Jackknife empirical likelihood method has a better performance and overcomes the under-coverage problem of the Wald-type method. A real data is also used to illustrate the proposed methods.
Systematic Review of Evidence for Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative Step 3: Prenatal Breastfeeding Education
Creators: name: Labbok, Miriam H.

Publisher: name: SAGE Publications
Year: 2016

description: BACKGROUND: The Ten Steps to Successful Breastfeeding outline maternity practices that protect, promote, and support breastfeeding and serve as the foundation for the Baby-Friendly Hospital Initiative. Research aim: This systematic review describes interventions related to Step 3 of the Ten Steps, which involves informing pregnant women about the benefits and management of breastfeeding. Our main objective was to determine whether prenatal clinic- or hospital-based breastfeeding education increases breastfeeding initiation, duration, or exclusivity.
METHODS: The electronic databases MEDLINE and CINAHL were searched for peer-reviewed manuscripts published in English between January 1, 2000, and May 5, 2016. Bibliographies of relevant systematic reviews were also screened to identify potential studies.
RESULTS: Thirty-eight studies were included. The research studies were either randomized controlled trials or quasi-experimental studies conducted in developed or developing countries. Findings suggest that prenatal interventions, delivered alone or in combination with intrapartum and/or postpartum components, are effective at increasing breastfeeding initiation, duration, or exclusivity where they combine both education and interpersonal support and where women's partners or family are involved. However, varying study quality and lack of standardized assessment of participants' breastfeeding intentions limited the ability to recommend any single intervention as most effective.
CONCLUSION: Future studies should test the strength of maternal breastfeeding intentions, assess the role of family members in influencing breastfeeding outcomes, compare the effectiveness of different health care providers, and include more explicit detail about the time and full cost of different interventions.

Estimation Algorithm for Mixture of Experts Recurrent Event Model
Creators: name: Brooks, Timesha
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2011

description: This paper proposes a mixture of experts recurrent events model. This general model accommodates an unobservable frailty variable, intervention effect, influence of accumulating event occurrences, and covariate effects. A latent class variable is utilized to deal with a heterogeneous population and associated covariates. A homogeneous nonparametric baseline hazard and heterogeneous parametric covariate effects are assumed. Maximum likelihood principle is employed to obtain parameter estimates. Since the frailty variable and latent classes are unobserved, an estimation procedure is derived through the EM algorithm. A simulated data set is generated to illustrate the data structure of recurrent events for a heterogeneous population.

Recently studies on silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) showed potent antiviral activity against HIV, HBV, influenza and dengue virus.
However, synthesis of metallic nanoparticles involves physical and chemical approach utilizing toxic chemicals, which may hinder its application for human use. Therefore, development of novel ecofriendly nanoparticles is of great interest. In the present study, we synthesized green AgNPs with catechin as reducing agent. Catechin, a polyphenol being itself having antiviral propertymayenhance the efficiency of AgNPs. We evaluated biogenic catechin AgNPs against Japanese encephalitis virus (JEV), which is a major public health problem particularly in Asia.

Conclusion: The present study demonstrated the ability of catechin reduced biogenic AgNPs to prevent JEV infection by inhibition of virus attachment and post infection spread. Future studies should be focused on elucidating the mechanism of nanoparticle-virus interaction at cellular and microscopic level.

description: Federated Learning is a widely adopted method to train neural networks over distributed data. One main limitation is the performance degradation that occurs when data is heterogeneously distributed. While many works have attempted to address this problem, these methods under-perform because they are founded on a limited understanding of neural networks. In this work, we verify that only certain important layers in a neural network require regularization for effective training. We additionally verify that Centered Kernel Alignment (CKA) most accurately calculates similarity between layers of neural networks trained on different data. By applying CKA-based regularization to important layers during training, we significantly improve performance in heterogeneous settings. We present FedCKA: a simple framework that out-performs previous state-of-the-art methods on various deep learning tasks while also improving efficiency and scalability.

Confidence Interval Estimation for Coefficient of Variation
Creators: name: Liu, Shuang
Publisher: name: Georgia State University

description: The coefficient of variation (CV) is a helpful quantity to describe the variation in evaluating results from different populations. There are many papers discussing methods of constructing confidence intervals for a single CV, such as exact method and approximation methods for CV when the underlying distribution is a normal distribution. However, the exact method is computationally cumbersome, and approximation methods can't be applied when the underlying distribution is unknown. In this thesis, we propose the generalized confidence interval for CV when the underlying distribution is normal and three empirical likelihood-based non-parametric intervals for CV when the underlying distribution is unknown. Simulation studies are conducted to compare the relative performances of these intervals based on the coverage probability and average interval length. Finally, the application of the proposed methods is demonstrated by using some real examples.

description: INTRODUCTION: Scientists and clinicians have attempted to identify and understand biomechanical factors that influence concussion likelihood. The effect of impact frequency to a given head location before the concussion has not been evaluated. The purpose of this study was to compare the frequency of impacts to a given head location on days of diagnosed concussion to the frequency of impacts to a given head location before kinematically matched nonconcussive impacts.
METHODS: Head impact data were gathered from 33 Division I National Collegiate Athletic Association football players. Twenty-four concussions were identified and matched with impacts of similar kinematic and injury criterion values (linear acceleration, rotational acceleration, Gadd severity index, and head injury criterion) that occurred during the same event type (game, practice, or scrimmage). In addition, these same matching criteria were used to match all players to the closest kinematic/same player group. All impacts within a session before the impact of interest (concussive or matched impact) were analyzed.
RESULTS: On days of diagnosed concussion, the concussive group sustained a lower percentage of impacts to the front of the head (34.5%) and a greater frequency of impacts to the sides (19.6%) and top (18.9%) of the head (χ(3) = 10.23, P = 0.017) as compared with the matched nonconcussive group (front = 42.5%, sides = 16.6%, top = 14.0%). No significant difference in frequency was found in impacts to the back of the head.
CONCLUSION: It may be more difficult to mitigate concussive forces sustained in impacts to the top and sides of the head than the front of the head. These findings fall in line with previous research demonstrating that reduced impact magnitudes may lessen concussion risk. Studying appropriate training paradigms to develop safer playing techniques on the field is warranted.

description: To maintain the activity of sensitive biologics during encapsulation by spray drying, a better understanding of deactivation pathways in dried particles is necessary. The effect of solid-air interfaces within dried particles on viral deactivation was examined with three binary excipient blends, mannitol/dextran (MD), xylitol/dextran (XD), and lactose/trehalose (LT). Particles encapsulating human serotype 5 adenovirus viral vector (AdHu5) were produced via both spray drying and acoustic levitation. The particles’ internal microstructure was directly visualized, and the location of a viral vector analogue was spatially mapped within the particles by volume imaging using focused ion beam sectioning and scanning electron microscopy. The majority of the viral vector analogue was found at, or near, the solid-air interfaces. Peclet number and crystallization kinetics governed the internal microstructure of the particles: XD particles with minimal internal voids retained the highest viral activity, followed by MD particles with a few large voids, and finally LT particles with numerous internal voids exhibited the lowest viral activity. Overall, AdHu5 activity decreased as the total solid-air interfacial area increased (as quantified by nitrogen sorption). Along with processing losses, this work highlights the importance of surface area within particles as an indicator of activity losses for dried biologics.

description: The main goal of this study is to seek the effects of some risk and prognostic factors contributing to survival of female invasive breast cancer in United States. The study presents the survival analysis for the adult female invasive breast cancer based on the datasets chosen from the Surveillance Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) program of National Cancer Institute (NCI). In this study, the Cox proportional hazard regression model and logistic regression model were employed for statistical analysis. The odds ratios (OR), hazard ratios (HR) and confidence interval (C.I.) were obtained for the risk and prognosis factors. The study results showed that some risk and prognosis factors, such as the demographic factors (race and age), social and family factor (marital status), biomedical factors (tumor size, disease stage, tumor markers and tumor cell differentiation level etc.) and type of treatment patients received had significant effects on survival of the female invasive breast cancer patients.

description: The precision of growth of an animal is meticulously regulated by extrinsic and intrinsic factors, with focus on maintenance of organismal homeostasis. The clue to change in physiology or metabolism of an organism, at times can be derived from the changes in phenotypes. The Drosophila Melanogaster model system stands out to be most commonly used one, because of its finest genetic toolbox and the possibility of control over chromosomal recombination using balancer chromosomes. GAL 4-overexpressed RNAi driver males (Mini-White Marker), targeted against specific genes, when crossed with leon mutant (19-2/TM6B) females, yield progeny of different wing types. Different RNAi lines expressing the phenotypes in a gradient of sodden, mid to normal; explains the varying severity of the wing phenotypes. The comparison of flies co-expressed RNAi and leon mutant with wild type or leon mutant females; show changes in wing phenotype; in terms of wing venation, anterior cortical vein (acv) position, posterior cortical vein (pcv) position, bristles on the wing margins and the inter-segmental distance. There is a distinct evidence of both rescue and deterioration phenotype observed at various levels, with the varying levels of RNAi expression in sodden, mid and normal type. A correlational study of these modified wing phenotypes to the physiological and metabolic functionalities; reveals the expression of most of these genes targeted by RNAi, mainly in the brain, heart, thoracic-abdominal ganglion, salivary gland, ovary and testis. Therefore, it can be hypothesized that the leon mutant can be correlated with the RNAi.

description: FileTrust is a decentralized, secure file-sharing solution that leverages blockchain, InterPlanetary File System(IPFS), and advanced cryptographic technologies to provide privacy-focused, distributed data storage. Unlike traditional cloud storage, FileTrust ensures that no single entity has complete control over your data. Instead, files are split into encrypted pieces and distributed across multiple nodes, making unauthorized access nearly impossible. This approach enhances privacy, data availability, and system resilience. FileTrust tokens incentivize participants, such as Vault Keepers and Guardians, to provide storage and maintain security. This white paper explores the motivations, architecture, technologies, use cases, and economic model of FileTrust, showcasing how it differentiates itself from existing file-sharing and storage solutions by offering a more secure, private, and user-centric platform. By eliminating the risks associated with centralized control, FileTrust aims to establish a trustless, transparent, and highly secure environment for managing sensitive data, catering to industries like IoT, healthcare, and legal services.

description: This research uses data from the 2003-2006 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) to determine dietary and other factors associated with serum 25(OH)-Vitamin D concentration for 5,474 adults age 20 years and older. After multivariate adjustment, we found that serum 25(OH)-Vitamin D concentration was positively associated with diets high in fruits, vegetables, and lean meats, while diets high in processed foods and high-fat meats were inversely associated with vitamin D level. Serum 25(OH)-Vitamin D concentration was also signifi-cantly associated with age, gender, race/ethnicity, BMI, physical activity, supplementation, and the season of survey administration. Self-reported cardiovascular and kidney disease were significantly associated with serum 25 (OH)-Vitamin D concentration after adjustment for significant confounders.
Cellular Neural Networks with Switching Connections

description: Artificial neural networks are widely used for parallel processing of data analysis and visual information. The most prominent example of artificial neural networks is a cellular neural network (CNN), composed from two-dimensional arrays of simple first-order dynamical systems (?cells?) that are interconnected by wires. The information, to be processed by a CNN, represents the initial state of the network, and the parallel information processing is performed by converging to one of the stable spatial equilibrium states of the multi-stable CNN. This thesis studies a specific type of CNNs designed to perform the winner-take-all function of finding the largest among the n numbers, using the network dynamics. In a wider context, this amounts to automatically detecting a target spot in the given visual picture. The research, reported in this thesis, demonstrates that the addition of fast on-off switching (blinking) connections significantly improves the functionality of winner-take-all CNNs. Numerical calculations are performed to reveal the dependence of the probability, that the CNN correctly classifies the largest number, on the switching frequency.
