Chronic Disease Management: Improving Outcomes, Reducing Costs
Creators: name: Wagner, Julie
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 2012

description: The relationship between poverty and poor health are strikingly apparent in the United States. People living below the federal poverty line have a shorter life expectancy and higher incidence of chronic disease than those with higher incomes. The poor, however, are less likely than the non-poor to have recent contact with a physician or engage in preventive care. This article discusses the significance of chronic disease management in improving health outcomes for low-income individuals and in reducing preventable health-related expenditures from a provider perspective. The article concludes with a discussion of the role of community health and social workers in coordinating care between providers and poor patients.
Neutrino and anti-neutrino energy loss rates due to iron isotopes suitable for core-collapse simulations

description: Accurate estimate of neutrino energy loss rates are needed for the study of the late stages of the stellar evolution, in particular for cooling of neutron stars and white dwarfs. The energy spectra of neutrinos and antineutrinos arriving at the Earth can also provide useful information on the primary neutrino fluxes as well as neutrino mixing scenario (it is to be noted that these supernova neutrinos are emitted after the supernova explosion which is a much later stage of stellar evolution than that considered in this paper). Recently an improved microscopic calculation of weak-interaction mediated rates for iron isotopes was introduced using the proton-neutron quasiparticle random phase approximation (pn-QRPA) theory. Here I present for the first time the fine-grid calculation of the neutrino and anti-neutrino energy loss rates due to $^{54,55,56}$Fe in stellar matter. In the core of massive stars isotopes of iron, $^{54,55,56}$Fe, are considered to be key players in decreasing the electron-to-baryon ratio ($Y_{e}$) mainly via electron capture on these nuclide. Core-collapse simulators may find this calculation suitable for interpolation purposes and for necessary incorporation in the stellar evolution codes. The calculated cooling rates are also compared with previous calculations.

Multifunctional materials for clean energy conversion
Creators: Laishram, Devika
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2022

The development of efficient energy conversion devices offers new opportunities to address world energy demands; however, the advancement in this field is limited by the lack of suitable materials to drive effective conversion. In this perspective, multifunctional nanomaterials with their unique properties are getting significant attention. Multifunctional nanomaterials are the materials with modified electronic, optical, or catalytic properties, which are generally different from individual materials. These materials are capable of exhibiting characteristic properties of different materials blended together to meet the varied application requirements. Recently, multifunctional nanoparticles (NPs) are among the most necessitated materials for many energy conversion device applications. The capability to synergistically combine the different material properties enables these materials to be perfect candidates for performance enhancement of various energy conversion devices. In this chapter, the research and development of various multifunctional nanomaterials were abridged from the perception of energy conversion devices such as fuel cells and solar cells.

description: Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are thought to come from the core-collapse of Wolf-Rayet stars. Whereas their stellar masses $M_*$ have a rather narrow distribution, the population of GRBs is very diverse, with gamma-ray luminosities $L_γ$ spanning several orders of magnitude. This suggests the existence of a "hidden" stellar variable whose burst-to-burst variation leads to a spread in $L_γ$. Whatever this hidden variable is, its variation should not noticeably affect the shape of GRB lightcurves, which display a constant luminosity (in a time-average sense) followed by a sharp drop at the end of the burst seen with Swift/XRT. We argue that such a hidden variable is progenitor star's large-scale magnetic flux. Shortly after the core collapse, most of stellar magnetic flux accumulates near the black hole (BH) and remains there. The flux extracts BH rotational energy and powers jets of roughly a constant luminosity, $L_j$. However, once BH mass accretion rate $\dot M$ falls below $\sim L_j/c^2$, the flux becomes dynamically important and diffuses outwards, with the jet luminosity set by the rapidly declining mass accretion rate, $L_j\sim \dot M c^2$. This provides a potential explanation for the sharp end of GRBs and the universal shape of their lightcurves. During the GRB, gas infall translates spatial variation of stellar magnetic flux into temporal variation of $L_j$. We make use of the deviations from constancy in $L_j$ to perform stellar magnetic flux "tomography". Using this method, we infer the presence of magnetised tori in the outer layers of progenitor stars for GRB 920513 and GRB 940210.

description: We obtain an exact static solution to Einstein-Power-Maxwell (EPM) theory in $(2+1)$ dimensional AdS spacetime, in which the scalar field couples to gravity in a non-minimal way. After considering the scalar potential, a stable system leads to a constraint on the power parameter $k$ of Maxwell field. The solution contains a curvature singularity at the origin and is non-conformally flat. The horizon structures are identified, which indicates the physically acceptable lower bound of mass in according to the existence of black hole solutions. Especially for the cases with $k>1$, the lower bound is negative, thus there exist scalar black holes with negative mass. The null geodesics in this spacetime are also discussed in detail. They are divided into five models, which are made up of the cases with the following geodesic motions: no-allowed motion, the circular motion, the elliptic motion and the unbounded spiral motion.

description: The quenching rate is known to depend on galaxy stellar mass and environment, however, possible dependences on the hosting halo properties, such as mass, richness, and dynamical status, are still debated. The determination of these dependences is hampered by systematics, induced by noisy estimates of cluster mass or by the lack of control on galaxy stellar mass, which may mask existing trends or introduce fake trends. We studied a sample of local clusters (20 with 0.0214), selected independent of the galaxy properties under study, having homogeneous optical photometry and X-ray estimated properties. Using those top quality measurements of cluster mass, hence of cluster scale, richness, iron abundance, and cooling time/presence of a cool-core, we study the simultaneous dependence of quenching on these cluster properties on galaxy stellar mass M and normalised cluster-centric distance r/r200. We found that the quenching rate can be completely described by two variables only, galaxy stellar mass and normalised cluster-centric distance, and is independent of halo properties (mass, richness, iron abundance, presence of a cool-core, and central cooling time). These halo properties change, in most cases, by less than 3% the probability that a galaxy is quenched, once the mass-size (M200-r200) scaling relation is accounted for through cluster-centric distance normalisation.

description: Isotopes of nickel play a key role during the silicon burning phase up to the presupernova phase of massive stars. Electron capture rates on these nickel isotopes are also important during the phase of core contraction. I present here the microscopic calculation of ground and excited states Gamow-Teller (GT) strength distributions for key nickel isotopes. The calculation is performed within the frame-work of pn-QRPA model. A judicious choice of model parameters, specially of the Gamow-Teller strength parameters and the deformation parameter, resulted in a much improved calculation of GT strength functions. The excited state GT distributions are much different from the corresponding ground-state distributions resulting in a failure of the Brink's hypothesis. The electron capture and positron decay rates on nickel isotopes are also calculated within the framework of pn-QRPA model relevant to the presupernova evolution of massive stars. The electron capture rates on odd-A isotopes of nickel are shown to have dominant contributions from parent excited states during as early as silicon burning phases. Comparison is being made with the large scale shell model calculation. During the silicon burning phases of massive stars the electron capture rates on $^{57,59}$Ni are around an order of magnitude bigger than shell model rates and can bear consequences for core-collapse simulators.

The Discovery of Timescale-Dependent Color Variability of Quasars

description: Quasars are variable on timescales from days to years in UV/optical, and generally appear bluer while they brighten. The physics behind the variations in fluxes and colors remains unclear. Using SDSS g and r band photometric monitoring data of quasars in Stripe 82, we find that although the flux variation amplitude increases with timescale, the color variability exhibits opposite behavior. The color variability of quasars is prominent at timescales as short as ~ 10 days, but gradually reduces toward timescales up to years. In other words, the variable emission at shorter timescales is bluer than that at longer timescales. This timescale dependence is clearly and consistently detected at all redshifts from z = 0 to 3.5, thus can not be due to contaminations to broadband photometry from emission lines which do not respond to fast continuum variations. The discovery directly rules out the possibility that simply attributes the color variability to contamination from a non-variable redder component, such as the host galaxy. It can not be interpreted as changes in global accretion rate either. The thermal accretion disk fluctuation model is favored, in the sense that fluctuations in the inner hotter region of the disk are responsible for short term variations, while longer term and stronger variations are expected from larger and cooler disk region. An interesting implication is that one can use quasar variations at different timescales to probe disk emission at different radii.

A Gravitational Double Scattering Mechanism for Generating High Velocity Objects
Creators: name: Samsing, Johan
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a dynamical model describing how halo particles can receive a significant energy kick from the merger between their own host halo and a target halo. This is highly relevant for understanding the growth of cosmological halos, and could especially provide an explanation for some high velocity objects. The model we present includes a \emph{double scattering mechanism}, where a halo particle is given a significant energy kick by undergoing two subsequent gravitational deflections during the merger. The first deflection is by the potential of the target halo, whereas the second is by the potential of the particle's original host halo. The resultant energy kick arises because the two halos move relative to each other during the two deflections. To our knowledge, this mechanism has never been characterized in this context before. We derive analytically a halo particle's total kick energy, which is composed of energy from the double scattering mechanism and energy release from tidal fields, as a function of its position in its original host halo. In the case of a $1:10$ merger between two Hernquist halos, we estimate that the presented mechanisms can generate particles with a velocity $\sim 2$ times the virial velocity of the target halo measured at its virial sphere. This motivates us to suggest that the high velocity of the recently discovered globular cluster HVCG-1 \citep{2014ApJ...787L..11C} can be explained by a head-on halo merger. Finally, we illustrate the orbital evolution of particles outside the virial sphere of the target halo, by solving the equation of motion in an expanding universe. We find a 'sweet spot' around a scale factor of $0.3-0.5$ for ejecting particles into large orbits, which easily can reach beyond $\sim 5$ virial radii.

description: Chanter est une activité essentielle dans l’enseignement de la musique à l’école. En tant qu’enseignantes en formation, nous avons remarqué qu’il devient plus délicat de faire chanter les adolescents des grandes classes de 7- 8 - 9e. Parfois mal à l’aise dans un corps qui change, la voix qui mue chez les garçons, soucieux de leur image et en recherche d’identité, les élèves adolescents se montrent souvent moins motivés à chanter. Par ailleurs, leurs goûts musicaux se précisent à cette période ainsi que leur sens critique, complexifiant considérablement le choix des chants pour l’enseignant. Mais est-ce uniquement dans le choix des chansons que réside toute la motivation des adolescents à chanter ? Qu’est-ce que la motivation, comment se traduit-elle dans l’activité vocale ? Pour mieux comprendre ce phénomène et optimiser ainsi notre enseignement à l’avenir, nous avons procédé à un travail de recherches tout d’abord théoriques puis nous avons conduits trois entretiens avec des enseignants plus ou moins expérimentés qui nous ont fait part de leurs observations et leurs pratiques sur ce sujet. La phase finale a consisté en un questionnaire destiné aux élèves pour connaître leur relation avec le chant et leur vécu en classe. Ainsi, nous avons pu élaborer quelques pistes pour stimuler, en tant qu’enseignants de musique, la motivation des classes de 7- 8 - 9e à chanter. Le fait de se produire sur scène en est une comme celui de chercher une certaine qualité d’interprétation pour valoriser cette activité. En fait, il ressort que la chanson en elle-même importe peu, il faut surtout savoir pourquoi et comment on va amener cette chanson en classe.

description: Les pratiques disciplinaires utilisées à l’école peuvent être divisées en deux grandes catégories : les punitions et les sanctions. Les punitions ont pour but principal un retour à la loi et les sanctions mettent l’accent sur une dimension pédagogique. Alors que c’est à l’enseignant de choisir quelle pratique disciplinaire utiliser, ce travail s’intéresse au ressenti de l’élève face à ces pratiques. En travaillant sur les questions disciplinaires, il apparaît intéressant de se positionner du côté des élèves. En effet, alors que la sanction et la punition sont des concepts largement détaillés dans la littérature, ils sont rarement abordés du point de vue de l’élève. Il en va de même avec les émotions que ces pratiques peuvent susciter chez les élèves. En effet, il n’existe aucune recherche traitant de ce sujet. En travaillant à travers les émotions, l’objectif de ce travail est d’apporter un regard différent et nouveau sur les pratiques disciplinaires à l’école. Pour aborder la question des émotions suscitées par les pratiques disciplinaires, une série de concepts sont mis en évidence : la relation maître-élève, l’autorité, les pratiques disciplinaires (punition, sanction), les émotions et la métaémotion. Ce travail de recherche rapporte par le biais de graphiques et de tableaux, les émotions que des élèves imagineraient ressentir face à une pratique disciplinaire de type sanction ou de type punition, afin de comprendre les liens existant entre une pratique disciplinaire et les émotions que les élèves pensent qu’ils éprouveraient dans une situation de punition ou de sanction, ainsi que les liens entre la pratique disciplinaire et le comportement a posteriori imaginé de l’élève.

description: Enseignantes de français, par notre expérience et par notre vécu en tant qu’élève, nous faisons le constat suivant en ce qui concerne la pratique de la dictée: crainte par les élèves, elle est un moyen rapide pour les enseignants de constater les problèmes. Malheureusement, la dictée ne permet pas l’apprentissage de l’orthographe. En effet, souvent les élèves tournent en rond et font l’objet systématiquement des mêmes observations sans qu’ils aient une solution afin d’y remédier. Pourtant, du côté des enseignants, le dessein doit être la mise en place des savoirs et des compétences allant jusqu’au transfert des apprentissages d’une discipline à l’autre. Par exemple, il faudrait que la dictée serve les productions écrites des élèves, or, actuellement, dans la majorité des classes, ce n’est pas le cas. C’est pourquoi nous avons recherché une solution didactique afin de pallier ce problème de transfert (c’est-à-dire intégrer une forme d’analyse de la langue dans les productions) et de changer les représentations des élèves quant à la dictée. Pour réaliser notre recherche, les élèves ont répondu à un questionnaire afin que nous puissions découvrir quelles sont leurs représentations de la dictée. Ce questionnaire a été utilisé avant et après l’utilisation d’un dispositif didactique appelé la dictée du jour. Une dictée pré et post-test a été employée pour mesurer les compétences et les progrès des élèves en orthographe. Grâce à la dictée du jour, les représentations des élèves évoluent positivement et leur rapport à l’erreur s’améliore après quelques séquences de travail. Même si les progrès orthographiques ne sont pas toujours époustouflants, les élèves découvrent qu’il est possible d’acquérir une emprise sur l’orthographe de la langue française par une réflexion.

description: The experimental realisation of large scale many-body systems has seen immense progress in recent years, rendering full tomography tools for state identification inefficient, especially for continuous systems. In order to work with these emerging physical platforms, new technologies for state identification are required. In this work, we present first steps towards efficient experimental quantum field tomography. We employ our procedure to capture ultracold atomic systems using atom chips, a setup that allows for the quantum simulation of static and dynamical properties of interacting quantum fields. Our procedure is based on cMPS, the continuous analogues of matrix product states (MPS), ubiquitous in condensed-matter theory. These states naturally incorporate the locality present in realistic physical settings and are thus prime candidates for describing the physics of locally interacting quantum fields. The reconstruction procedure is based on two- and four-point correlation functions, from which we predict higher-order correlation functions, thus validating our reconstruction for the experimental situation at hand. We apply our procedure to quenched prethermalisation experiments for quasi-condensates. In this setting, we can use the quality of our tomographic reconstruction as a probe for the non-equilibrium nature of the involved physical processes. We discuss the potential of such methods in the context of partial verification of analogue quantum simulators.

Environmental Parametric Multi-Objective Optimization to Design High Performance Façades using Daylight, Solar and CFD Analysis
Creators: name: Surapaneni, Amulya
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Architectural Science and Technology (incl. Acoustics, Lighting, Structure and Ecologically Sustainable Design)

description: A façade is the part of a building that forms the primary thermal barrier with its environment. It represents the most important factor for the determination of the level of thermal comfort, daylighting and ventilation and amount of energy required for the heating and cooling of the environment (Sacht et al., 2016). Jaali screens (perforated screens) as a façade system can reduce indoor glare, solar insolation, and facilitate cool breeze. The study is inspired from the working principles of ancient Jaali screens of South East Asia. By changing the depth, aperture, and shape of the cross-section of the Jaali modules, one can achieve indoor visual and thermal comfort. The study showcases an algorithmic approach to optimizing the façade screen for daylighting, solar insolation, and wind speed objectives.Motivation for the study is derived from three aspects. First, the emphasis on simulation driven design as designs derived from intuition are often different from reality. Second, integration of CFD in Architectural, Engineering and Construction (AEC) industry. And third, questioning of the typical Multi-Objective Optimization (MOO) itself when designing for objectives with trade-offs. The study analyses the trade-offs between indoor daylight, solar radiation, and wind speed objectives and showcases two methods to optimize the façade screens for a test case building in New Delhi. The optimized façade screens using the typical MOO process and a new zoning strategy are then compared with the test case. The idea of the study is to showcase an improved Multi Objective Optimization (MOO) using zoning strategy approach to fully take advantage of all the objectives in the study. The principles of these intricate and beautiful Jaali patterns could be expanded to the facades, glazing systems, and window systems of our modern buildings to enhance indoor environmental comfort and reduce building energy loads. The methodology to designing facades using a zoning strategy instead of the typical MOO strategy (of finding an optimal solution for the whole façade) could also be expanded to other building components.

description: Notre travail de mémoire professionnel nous a été inspiré par le travail de licence d’Andenmatten et Pasca (2006). A la fin de leur travail, ces deux étudiantes affirment avoir constaté des liens complexes entre les enseignants et les psychologues. Une de leurs questions à ce sujet restant en suspens à la fin de leur recherche, aurait pu être posée aux enseignants et aux psychologues scolaires. La question qu’elles ont regretté ne pas avoir posée, et qui nous a particulièrement interpellée est la suivante : “Que pensez-vous que l’autre attende de votre part ?”. Celle-ci ayant éveillée notre curiosité, nous avons décidé d’effectuer notre travail de recherche sur les attentes de ces deux partenaires. Notre question de recherche est alors la suivante : qu’est-ce que les psychologues pensent que les enseignants attendent d’eux et vice - versa ? Nous avons émis l’hypothèse que si ces attentes étaient plus claires de part et d’autre, la relation qu’entretiennent ces deux acteurs de l’école en serait facilitée. Plusieurs auteurs nous ont permis d’enrichir notre recherche ainsi que la distribution de questionnaires à vingt-sept enseignants exerçant du CIN au CYT et deux psychologues scolaires. Pierre Marc (1977) affirme que les relations entre ces deux professionnels n’ont pas toujours été faciles, et bien qu’elles se soient améliorées, il peut encore y a voir des tensions. Aussi, Dominique Guichard (2006) soulève un problème d’attente de la part des enseignants envers le psychologue scolaire. Il constate que les enseignants veulent souvent avoir un retour de la séance passée avec l’enfant. Bien souvent le retour n’est pas identique aux attentes de l’enseignant, la situation peut alors être embarrassante et nuire à la collaboration des deux acteurs. Nous avons pu constater par notre recherche que les enseignants sont de manière générale satisfaits du travail effectué par le psychologue, mais qu’il y a toutefois des pistes d’améliorations proposées par les enseignants. Nous avons été très surprises des résultats car nous pensions que les enseignants et les psychologues scolaires allaient être moins satisfaits du travail et de la relation établie. Ainsi, nous avons pu constater que notre hypothèse a été émise sur de faux aprioris. Par ce travail, nous avons pu constater que ces relations sont satisfaisantes pour l’un et l’autre des protagonistes. Cependant, malgré ce constat positif, les deux intervenants proposent des pistes d’amélioration et jugent que les non-dits peuvent entraver la relation et la collaboration.

description: High precision Kepler photometry is used to explore the details of AGB light curves. Since AGB variability has a typical time scale on order of a year we discuss at length the removal of long term trends and quarterly changes in Kepler data. Photometry for a small sample of nine SR AGB stars are examined using a 30 minute cadence over a period of 45 months. While undergoing long period variations of many magnitudes, the light curves are shown to be smooth at the millimagnitude level over much shorter time intervals. No flares or other rapid events were detected on the sub-day time scale. The shortest AGB period detected is on the order of 100 days. All the SR variables in our sample are shown to have multiple modes. This is always the first overtone typically combined with the fundamental. A second common characteristic of SR variables is shown to be the simultaneous excitation of multiple closely separated periods for the same overtone mode. Approximately half the sample had a much longer variation in the light curve, likely a long secondary period. The light curves were all well represented by a combination of sinusoids. However, the properties of the sinusoids are time variable with irregular variations present at low level. No non-radial pulsations were detected. It is argued that the long secondary period variation seen in many SR variables is intrinsic to the star and linked to multiple mode pulsation.

description: Social hierarchies are often found in group-living animals. The hierarchy position can influence reproductive success (RS), with a skew towards high-ranking individuals. The amount of aggression in social dominance varies greatly, both between species and between males and females within species. Using game theory we study this variation by taking into account the degree to which reproductive competition in a social group is mainly local to the group, emphasizing within-group relative RS, or global to a larger population, emphasizing an individual’s absolute RS. Our model is similar to recent approaches in that reinforcement learning is used as a behavioural mechanism allowing social-hierarchy formation. We test two hypotheses. The first is that local competition should favour the evolution of mating or foraging interference, and thus of reproductive skew. Second, decreases in reproductive output caused by an individual’s accumulated fighting damage, such as reduced parenting ability, will favour less intense aggression but should have little influence on reproductive skew. From individual-based simulations of the evolution of social dominance and interference, we find support for both hypotheses. We discuss to what extent our results can explain observed sex differences in reproductive skew and social dominance behaviour.

description: It is defined $Γ_{p,q}$ function, a generalize of $Γ$ function. Also, we defined $ψ_{p,q}$-analogue of the psi function as the log derivative of $Γ_{p,q}$. For the $Γ_{p,q}$ -function, are given some properties related to convexity, log-convexity and completely monotonic function. Also, some properties of $ψ_{p,q} $ analog of the $ψ$ function have been established. As an application, when $p\to \infty, q\to 1,$ we obtain all result of \cite{Valmir1} and \cite{SHA}.

Multifunctional carbon nanomaterials have attracted remarkable consideration for use in various energy conversion and storage devices because of their ultrahigh specific surface area, unique morphology, and excellent electrochemical properties. Herein, we report the synthesis of highly uniform and ordered nitrogen-enriched carbon nanospheres (CS) and nanobubbles (CNB) by a modified Stöber reaction using resorcinol and formaldehyde in the presence of ethylenediamine as a nitrogen source. A comparative study of the prepared CS and CNB nanomaterials is presented here with potential use in a wide variety of applications involving large surface area and electrical conductivity. As counter electrode materials in solar cells, CNB and CS showed enhanced photoelectrochemical activity for catalytically reducing I3– to I– and improved capacitive behavior with a low charge transfer resistance and remarkable power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 10.40% with improved Jsc (20.20 mA/cm2) and Voc (0.73 V). The enhanced performance of the fabricated photoelectrochemical cell is due to the excellent point contact and good conductivity that offered better charge transportation of electrons with minimum recombination. The enhanced adsorption upon increasing the pressure without an apparent saturation level signified the large CO2 adsorption with 2 mmol/g for the CS. Additionally, the rectangular-shaped CV curve indicated the double-layer capacitive behavior, good electrochemical reversibility, and high-power characteristics, prerequisites for supercapacitor application. This study probes the practical possibility of nitrogen-enriched carbon nanostructures as a multifunctional material for prospective applications.

description: Machine learning algorithms are used for inference and decision-making in embedded systems. Sensor data is used to train machine learning models for various smart functions of embedded and cyber-physical systems ranging from applications in healthcare and emergency response to autonomous vehicles and national security. However, recent studies have shown that machine learning models can be attacked by adding adversarial noise to their inputs. The perturbed inputs are called adversarial examples. Adversarial examples that attack a machine learning model trained in a source domain are often effective against the model trained in a target domain. This property of adversarial examples is called adversarial transferability. We present Adar, a computational framework for optimization-driven creation of adversarial examples. We investigate different methods for generating adversarial examples and study the vulnerability of activity recognition models to adversarial examples in the feature and signal domain. We also present our study of adversarial transferability in wearable systems from four distinct viewpoints: (1) transferability between machine learning models; (2) transferability across users/subjects of the embedded system; (3) transferability across sensor body locations; and (4) transferability across datasets used for model training. Through an extensive analysis based on real sensor data collected with human subjects, we found that simple evasion attacks can decrease the accuracy of a deep neural network from 95.1% to 3.4% and 93.1% to 16.8% in the case of a convolutional neural network. With adversarial training, the robustness of the deep neural network increased on the adversarial examples by 49.1% in the worst case, while the accuracy on clean samples decreased by 13.2%. In most cases, we found strong untargeted transferability, whereas targeted attacks were less successful, with success scores from 0% to 80%. The transferability of adversarial examples depends on many factors, such as the inclusion of data from all subjects, sensor body position, number of samples in the dataset, type of learning algorithm, and the distribution of source and target system datasets. The transferability of adversarial examples decreases sharply when the data distribution of the source and target system becomes more distinct.
