description: Modeling statistics of image priors is useful for image super-resolution, but little attention has been paid from the massive works of deep learning-based methods. In this work, we propose a Bayesian image restoration framework, where natural image statistics are modeled with the combination of smoothness and sparsity priors. Concretely, firstly we consider an ideal image as the sum of a smoothness component and a sparsity residual, and model real image degradation including blurring, downscaling, and noise corruption. Then, we develop a variational Bayesian approach to infer their posteriors. Finally, we implement the variational approach for single image super-resolution (SISR) using deep neural networks, and propose an unsupervised training strategy. The experiments on three image restoration tasks, \textit{i.e.,} ideal SISR, realistic SISR, and real-world SISR, demonstrate that our method has superior model generalizability against varying noise levels and degradation kernels and is effective in unsupervised SISR. The code and resulting models are released via \url{https://zmiclab.github.io/projects.html}.

description: In this paper, we describe various technologies that are being used in virtual garment fitting and simulation. There, we have focused about the usage of anthropometry in clothing industry and avatar generation of virtual garment fitting. Most commonly used technologies for avatar generation in virtual environment have been discussed in this paper such as generic body model and laser scanning. Moreover, this paper includes the real-time tracking technologies used in virtual garment fitting like markers and depth cameras in various related researches as well as how the virtual cloth generation and simulation carried out in the related researches. Apart from these, virtual clothing methods such as geometrical, physical and hybrid based models were also discussed in this paper. As ease allowance has a major impact on virtual cloth fitting, it is also considered in this paper related to similar researches. Within this paper, all the above mentioned areas were described thoroughly while stating the existing gap of the virtual garment fitting in online marketplaces.

description: Direct images of protoplanets embedded in disks around infant stars provide the key to understanding the formation of gas giant planets like Jupiter. Using the Subaru Telescope and Hubble Space Telescope, we find evidence for a jovian protoplanet around AB Aurigae orbiting at a wide projected separation (93 au), likely responsible for multiple planet-induced features in the disk. Its emission is reproducible as reprocessed radiation from an embedded protoplanet. We also identify two structures located at 430-580 au that are candidate sites of planet formation. These data reveal planet formation in the embedded phase and a protoplanet discovery at wide, > 50 au separations characteristic of most imaged exoplanets. With at least one clump-like protoplanet and multiple spiral arms, the AB Aur system may also provide the evidence for a long-considered alternative to the canonical model for Jupiter's formation: disk (gravitational) instability.

description: Context: A stable topical ophthalmic curcumin formulation with high solubility, stability, and efficacy is needed for pharmaceutical use in clinics. Objectives: The objective of this article was to describe a novel curcumin containing a nanomicelle formulation using a polyvinyl caprolactam–polyvinyl acetate–polyethylene glycol (PVCL–PVA–PEG) graft copolymer. Methods: Nanomicelle curcumin was formulated and optimized and then further evaluated for in vitro cytotoxicity/in vivo ocular irritation, in vitro cellular uptake/in vivo corneal permeation, and in vitro antioxidant activity/in vivo anti-inflammatory efficacy. Results: The solubility, chemical stability, and antioxidant activity were greatly improved after the encapsulation of the PVCL–PVA–PEG nanomicelles. The nanomicelle curcumin ophthalmic solution was simple to prepare and the nanomicelles are stable to the storage conditions, and it had good cellular tolerance. Nanomicelle curcumin also had excellent ocular tolerance in rabbits. The use of nanomicelles significantly improved in vitro cellular uptake and in vivo corneal permeation as well as improved anti-inflammatory efficacy when compared with a free curcumin solution. Conclusions: These findings indicate that nanomicelles could be promising topical delivery systems for the ocular administration of curcumin.
Essays on consumer finance: analysis of consumer bankruptcy and credit access

description: This thesis examines the implications of consumer bankruptcy and access to consumer credit on approximately 50,000 individuals using longitudinal data from a representative sample of households in Great Britain. The thesis comprises three inter-related but stand-alone empirical chapters along with the introduction and conclusion chapters.
The first empirical chapter, Chapter 2, investigates the effects of the bankruptcy benefit and adverse events on the consumer bankruptcy decision. Employing zero-inflated ordered probit (ZIOP) model, the chapter analyses whether consumers go into any bankruptcy proceedings and, if they do, their choice of the bankruptcy type, either the discharge of debts (fresh start) or the reorganisation of debts (income gleaning). The findings are that the bankruptcy benefit and becoming unemployed are positively related to the bankruptcy decision regardless of the bankruptcy type. However, the effects of the other adverse events differ across bankruptcy types. Individuals who experience the onset of health problems are more likely to choose the income gleaning, whereas individuals who get divorced or separated are more likely to choose the fresh start.
The second empirical chapter, Chapter 3, examines the effects of the consumer bankruptcy on the access to credit after bankruptcy. Using difference in differences (DID) estimation, the chapter analyses the credit availability to consumer bankruptcy filers and whether or not they are excluded from credit markets for both the short term (1 year) and the long term (3 years). It also analyses the existence of financial exclusion, if any, according to the choice of the bankruptcy type. The findings suggest that bankrupt consumers are excluded from the credit markets for both the short and the long term. However, when the analysis is done based on the bankruptcy types, the results show that the exclusion of fresh starters from the credit markets is dramatic, swift but short lived, while the exclusion of the income gleaners is gradual, slow but lasts longer.
The third empirical chapter, Chapter 4, analyses the role of entrepreneurial activity on the access to consumer credit markets. Employing propensity score matching, it analyses the credit availability to the entrepreneurs and non-entrepreneurs and tests whether or not the entrepreneurs are excluded from the consumer credit markets. The findings show that entrepreneurs are excluded from the credit markets when they are compared to their non-entrepreneur counterparts. A typical entrepreneur is likely to receive approximately £500 less consumer credit than a typical non-entrepreneur with similar characteristics.

description: The use of metal-organic framework (MOF) platforms has been a topic of growing interest in the fields of drug delivery and bioimaging. This study was designed to develop and evaluate a novel MOF-based drug and radiation delivery nanosystem. Eu-MOFs were characterized in vitro via X-ray diffraction, scanning electronic microscopy, and FT-IR spectrometry. Nanocarrier uptake and associated cell viability were assessed using a CCK-8 assay and using a high content screening system. Biodistribution studies were conducted with a Luminal II IVIS imaging system to assess nanocarrier distribution in different organs. As such, paclitaxel was selected as a model drug in the present study to evaluate Eu-MOF drug loading and release characteristics in vitro via HPLC. A straightforward one-step approach was used to successfully fabricate sea urchin-shaped Eu-MOFs that were self-assembled from Eu3+ and 1,3,5-pyromellitic acid. These MOFs exhibited robust red fluorescence owing to the antenna effect. Owing to their fluorescent properties, these Eu-MOFs were able to facilitate in vivo imaging with a high quantum yield and low background signal. Importantly, our Eu-MOFs exhibited good biocompatibility, low cytotoxicity, and high imaging efficiency. As they exhibited slow-release kinetics and targeted biodistribution profiles, these Eu-MOFs additionally hold great promise as potential anti-cancer agents in clinical settings. Herein, we designed a novel Eu-MOF active targeted drug delivery nanocarrier platform and found that it represents a promising therapeutic tool for cancer treatment.

description: Aims: Hypothermia Treatment (HT) is now the standard care for neonatal hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy (HIE). We conducted a survey to explore parental perceptions of HT as there is little information about this in the current literature. Methods: Postal questionnaire survey included families (n = 51) whose babies received HT at Princess Anne Hospital, Southampton, UK, with 23 questions covering communication, clinical management, follow-up, and care in general. Statistical analysis of descriptive and analytical tests were done using Minitab 16. Results: The response rate was 60.8%. All parents had concerns amongst which perceptions of pain and distress were described by 41%. Temporary concerns about bonding were common (83.8%), more so in babies transferred from other hospitals (p = .04). Only 61.3% felt they had a good understanding of HT. The need for improvements in the quality (71%) and frequency of communication (48.3%) were also highlighted. Conclusions: Parents were worried about pain and distress, bonding and about outcomes after HT. Consistency in communication, regular updates, involvement of parents in decision making, strong support mechanisms and balanced discussions about long term outcomes at an early stage are of high importance to families whose babies undergo HT.

description: The proposed research performs an analysis of the capacity higher-order statistics for a single-input multiple-output multiantenna wireless communication system equipped with a maximum-ratio combining scheme. It was assumed that the propagation multipath channel is described with the $κ-μ$ fading model with the correlated dominant components. Closed-form and asymptotic expressions were derived and applied to the problem of minimum capacity reliability (due to channel fluctuations, thus possible rate deterioration) and corresponding signal-to-noise ratio analysis. The performed computer simulation, verifying the correctness of the obtained expressions, along with the generalized $κ-μ$ fading channel with correlated shadowing, assumed several specific limiting simplified cases: Rayleigh, Rician and Nakagami-$m$. It was shown that the signal-to-noise ratio (at which minimum capacity reliability is attained) is achieved at greater values than that of simplified models, and the absolute value of this minimum can be smaller/higher than for the degenerate cases depending on the dominant components one-step correlation coefficient.

description: Line intensity mapping (LIM) is an emerging technique in measuring galaxy evolution and the large-scale structure of the universe. LIM surveys measure the cumulative emission from all galaxies emitting a given line at a particular redshift, which trace the distribution of dark matter throughout the universe. In this proceeding, we provide an introduction to LIM modeling, focusing on power spectrum calculation. Beyond these calculations, we describe how these power spectra may be used to constrain properties of galaxy evolution and large-scale structure cosmology. Throughout, we use the anticipated EXCLAIM signal of ionized carbon ([CII]) at redshift $z=3$ as a case study. Our goal is to provide a starting point to non-experts, e.g. upper-level undergraduate and graduate students familiar with the basics of cosmology, with the tools necessary to understand the literature and generate LIM power spectrum models themselves, while also describing a wide array of literature for continued studies.

description: Shleifer and Vishny (1997) and Pontiff (2006) contend that limits-to-arbitrage prevent investors from correcting mispricing, thereby allowing well-known stock market anomalies to persist. While there is a respectable body of literature on Australian stock market anomalies, the influence of limits-to-arbitrage remains largely unexplored. As such, this thesis conducts a comprehensive study of the role played by arbitrage costs for a variety of Australian stock market anomalies. In addition, this thesis also examines how different types of arbitrage costs affect a selection of prominent anomalies (size, book-to-market, gross profitability, asset growth, momentum, MAX, beta and total volatility).

description: Ultrasensitive terahertz sensing of highly absorptive aqueous solutions remains challenging due to strong absorption of water in the terahertz regime. Here, we experimentally demonstrate a cost-effective metamaterial-based sensor integrated with terahertz time-domain spectroscopy for highly absorptive water-methanol mixture sensing. This metamaterial has simple asymmetric wire structures that support multiple resonances including a fundamental Fano resonance and higher order dipolar resonance in the terahertz regime. Both the resonance modes have strong intensity in the transmission spectra which we exploit for detection of the highly absorptive water-methanol mixtures. The experimentally characterized sensitivities of the Fano and dipole resonances for the water-methanol mixtures are found to be 160 and 305 GHz/RIU, respectively. This method provides a route for readily available metamaterial-assisted terahertz spectroscopy for ultrasensitive sensing of highly absorptive chemical and biochemical materials with multiple resonances and high accuracy.

description: Using metasurfaces to control the wave propagation at will has been very successful over the broad electromagnetic spectrum in recent years. By encoding specially designed abrupt changes of electromagnetic parameters into metasurfaces, such as phase and amplitude, nearly arbitrary control over the output wavefronts could be realized. Constituted by a single- or fewlayer of planar structures, metasurfaces are straightforward in design and fabrication, thus promising many realistic applications. Moreover, such control concept can be further extended to the surface wave regime. In this review, we present our recent progress on metasurfaces capable of tailoring the propagation of both free-space and surface terahertz waves. Following an introduction of the basic concept and theory, a number of unique terahertz metasurfaces are presented, showing the ability in devising ultra-thin and compact functional terahertz components.

description: With the rising prevalence of autism diagnoses, it is essential for research to understand how to leverage technology to support the diverse nature of autistic traits. While traditional interventions focused on technology for medical cure and rehabilitation, recent research aims to understand how technology can accommodate each unique situation in an efficient and engaging way. Extended reality (XR) technology has been shown to be effective in improving attention in autistic users given that it is more engaging and motivating than other traditional mediums. Here, we conducted a systematic review of 59 research articles that explored the role of attention in XR interventions for autistic users. We systematically analyzed demographics, study design and findings, including autism screening and attention measurement methods. Furthermore, given methodological inconsistencies in the literature, we systematically synthesize methods and protocols including screening tools, physiological and behavioral cues of autism and XR tasks. While there is substantial evidence for the effectiveness of using XR in attention-based interventions for autism to support autistic traits, we have identified three principal research gaps that provide promising research directions to examine how autistic populations interact with XR. First, our findings highlight the disproportionate geographic locations of autism studies and underrepresentation of autistic adults, evidence of gender disparity, and presence of individuals diagnosed with co-occurring conditions across studies. Second, many studies used an assortment of standardized and novel tasks and self-report assessments with limited tested reliability. Lastly, the research lacks evidence of performance maintenance and transferability.

description: As an emerging interaction paradigm, physiological computing is increasingly being used to both measure and feed back information about our internal psychophysiological states. While most applications of physiological computing are designed for individual use, recent research has explored how biofeedback can be socially shared between multiple users to augment human-human communication. Reflecting on the empirical progress in this area of study, this paper presents a systematic review of 64 studies to characterize the interaction contexts and effects of social biofeedback systems. Our findings highlight the importance of physio-temporal and social contextual factors surrounding physiological data sharing as well as how it can promote social-emotional competences on three different levels: intrapersonal, interpersonal, and task-focused. We also present the Social Biofeedback Interactions framework to articulate the current physiological-social interaction space. We use this to frame our discussion of the implications and ethical considerations for future research and design of social biofeedback interfaces.

description: The discovery of habitable exoplanets has long been a heated topic in astronomy. Traditional methods for exoplanet identification include the wobble method, direct imaging, gravitational microlensing, etc., which not only require a considerable investment of manpower, time, and money, but also are limited by the performance of astronomical telescopes. In this study, we proposed the idea of using machine learning methods to identify exoplanets. We used the Kepler dataset collected by NASA from the Kepler Space Observatory to conduct supervised learning, which predicts the existence of exoplanet candidates as a three-categorical classification task, using decision tree, random forest, naïve Bayes, and neural network; we used another NASA dataset consisted of the confirmed exoplanets data to conduct unsupervised learning, which divides the confirmed exoplanets into different clusters, using k-means clustering. As a result, our models achieved accuracies of 99.06%, 92.11%, 88.50%, and 99.79%, respectively, in the supervised learning task and successfully obtained reasonable clusters in the unsupervised learning task.

description: Objective: Since 2000, numerous improvements have been made to the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing, Incorporated (NASCAR®) driver restraint system, resulting in improved crash protection for motorsports drivers. Advancements have included seats, head and neck restraints (HNRs), seat belt restraint systems, driver helmets, and others. These enhancements have increased protection for drivers from severe crash loading. Extending protection to the driver's extremities remains challenging. Though the drivers’ legs are well contained for lateral and vertical crashes, they remain largely unrestrained in frontal and frontal oblique crashes. Method: Sled testing was conducted for the evaluation of an energy-absorbing (EA) toe board material to be used as a countermeasure for leg and foot injuries. Testing included baseline rigid toe boards, tests with EA material–covered toe boards, and pretest positioning of the 50th percentile male frontal Hybrid III anthropomorphic test device (ATD) lower extremities. ATD leg and foot instrumentation included foot acceleration and tibia forces and moments. Results: The sled test data were evaluated using established injury criteria for tibial plateau fractures, leg shaft fractures, and calcaneus, talus, ankle, and midfoot fractures. Conclusion: A polyurethane EA foam was found to be effective in limiting axial tibia force and foot accelerations when subjected to frontal impacts using the NASCAR motorsport restraint system.

description: Orbital angular momentum (OAM) multiplexed entangled state is an important quantum resource for high dimensional quantum information processing. In this paper, we experimentally quantify quantum coherence of OAM multiplexed continuous-variable (CV) entangled state and characterize its evolution in a noisy environment. We show that the quantum coherence of the OAM multiplexed CV entangled state carrying topological charges $l=1$ and $l=2$ are the same as that of the Gaussian mode with $l=0$ in a noisy channel. Furthermore, we show that the quantum coherence of OAM multiplexed entangled state is robust to noise, even though the sudden death of entanglement is observed. Our results provide reference for applying quantum coherence of OAM multiplexed CV entangled state in a noisy environment.

description: We consider the Clarkson-McLeod solutions of the fourth Painlevé equation. This family of solutions behave like $κD_{α-\frac{1}{2}}^2(\sqrt{2}x)$ as $x\rightarrow +\infty$, where $κ$ is an arbitrary real constant and $D_{α-\frac{1}{2}}(x)$ is the parabolic cylinder function. Using the Deift-Zhou nonlinear steepest descent method, we obtain the singular asymptotics of the solutions as $x\to-\infty$ when $κ\left( κ-κ^*\right )>0$ for some real constant $κ^*$. The connection formulas are also explicitly evaluated. This proves and extends Clarkson and McLeod's conjecture that when the parameter $κ>κ^*>0$, the Clarkson-McLeod solutions have infinitely many simple poles on the negative real axis.

description: The article “The Ethical Theories of Immanuel Kant and Their Application in Crime Scene Investigation” by Fantasia A. Henry explores how Kantian ethics centered on duty, honesty, and justice can guide ethical behavior in forensic science, especially as artificial intelligence (AI) becomes more integrated into crime investigations. The paper examines the benefits of AI in digital forensics, such as efficiency and precision, alongside ethical concerns including bias, accountability, and privacy. Through literature review, case studies (e.g., the JonBenét Ramsey investigation), and analysis, the author argues for the responsible use of AI grounded in Kantian principles to preserve justice, human dignity, and the integrity of forensic science.
Modeling Dynamic User Preference via Dictionary Learning for Sequential Recommendation

description: Capturing the dynamics in user preference is crucial to better predict user future behaviors because user preferences often drift over time. Many existing recommendation algorithms -- including both shallow and deep ones -- often model such dynamics independently, i.e., user static and dynamic preferences are not modeled under the same latent space, which makes it difficult to fuse them for recommendation. This paper considers the problem of embedding a user's sequential behavior into the latent space of user preferences, namely translating sequence to preference. To this end, we formulate the sequential recommendation task as a dictionary learning problem, which learns: 1) a shared dictionary matrix, each row of which represents a partial signal of user dynamic preferences shared across users; and 2) a posterior distribution estimator using a deep autoregressive model integrated with Gated Recurrent Unit (GRU), which can select related rows of the dictionary to represent a user's dynamic preferences conditioned on his/her past behaviors. Qualitative studies on the Netflix dataset demonstrate that the proposed method can capture the user preference drifts over time and quantitative studies on multiple real-world datasets demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve higher accuracy compared with state-of-the-art factorization and neural sequential recommendation methods.
