Creators: name: Kyeyune, Hannah Kizza

Subjects: Statistics (0463)

description: Bioequivalence test procedure is used in clinical trials and environmental studies.  In clinical trials testing equivalence is used to assess the different formulations of two treatment drugs and the relevance of this is to determine the equivalence of two or more treatment groups. In environmental studies bioequivalence tests are used to determine environmental effects and changes between two locations.  This thesis is aimed at analyzing the properties of bioequivalence tests under two commonly used sampling designs, namely, simple random sampling (SRS) and a ranked set sampling (RSS); for this study, we consider a one sample t-test.  The thesis includes background information on bioequivalence tests, a description of test procedures used to determine bioequivalence, illustrations comparing ranked set sampling (RSS) to simple random sampling (SRS), the properties of bioequivalence tests, with emphasis on the two-one sided test (TOST), under SRS and RSS.  We also explore the advantages of a variety of estimates of population variance in constructing TOST. In addition, we provide a comprehensive assessment of two methods of variance estimation with a ranked set sample, given by Stokes (1980) and Bose & Neerchal (1996).  The Mean squared error (MSE) of these estimators is evaluated in a simulation study.  An investigation is done on the distributional properties of the t-statistic data, under the RSS design using the different variance estimators; Quantile-Quantile plots and other statistics such as the goodness-of-fit, percentile and target values are generated.  It was shown that the normal distribution was the best fit for the t-statistics used in the TOST procedure. It was also shown that Boss and Neerchal (1996) variance estimator is a better unbiased estimator for the variance of a RSS than Stokes (1986) variance estimator. We concluded that the two-one sided test (TOST), a bioequivalence test procedure, is a reasonable test to analyze a ranked set sample design.

description: The article discusses the resolution adopted by the 10th Conference of the States Parties (CoSP) to the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC), which focuses on the protection of reporting persons. Given the secretive nature of corruption, especially when it involves influential individuals or authorities, exposing and holding wrongdoers accountable becomes a challenging task. In this context, the article highlights the crucial role played by whistleblowers, journalists, and leakers in uncovering corrupt practices and emphasizes the necessity of safeguarding them from retaliation. It delves into the recent resolution CAC/COSP/2023/L.12/Rev.1 within the framework of the UNCAC, recognizing it as a significant step forward. However, it also conducts a critical analysis, highlighting the shortcomings present in the CoSP’s document when compared to more robust legal instruments such as the EU Whistleblower Directive and other best practices. It also emphasizes how the CoSP's interpretation of "good faith" in whistleblower reports, which is clearly detached from the motivation behind the disclosure, represents the most innovative and significant element included in the resolution.
Further evidence for the non-existence of a unified hoop conjecture

description: The hoop conjecture, introduced by Thorne almost five decades ago, asserts that black holes are characterized by the mass-to-circumference relation $4π{\cal M}/{\cal C}\geq1$, whereas horizonless compact objects are characterized by the opposite inequality $4π{\cal M}/{\cal C}<1$ (here ${\cal C}$ is the circumference of the smallest ring that can engulf the self-gravitating compact object in all azimuthal directions). It has recently been proved that a necessary condition for the validity of this conjecture in horizonless spacetimes of spatially regular charged compact objects is that the mass ${\cal M}$ be interpreted as the mass contained within the engulfing sphere (and not as the asymptotically measured total ADM mass). In the present paper we raise the following physically intriguing question: Is it possible to formulate a unified version of the hoop conjecture which is valid for both black holes and horizonless compact objects? In order to address this important question, we analyze the behavior of the mass-to-circumference ratio of Kerr-Newman black holes. We explicitly prove that if the mass ${\cal M}$ in the hoop relation is interpreted as the quasilocal Einstein-Landau-Lifshitz-Papapetrou and Weinberg mass contained within the black-hole horizon, then these charged and spinning black holes are characterized by the sub-critical mass-to-circumference ratio $4π{\cal M}/{\cal C}<1$. Our results provide evidence for the non-existence of a unified version of the hoop conjecture which is valid for both black-hole spacetimes and spatially regular horizonless compact objects.

The effect of Semi-Collisional Accretion on Planetary Spins

Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: Planetesimal accretion during planet formation is usually treated as collisionless. Such accretion from a uniform and dynamically cold disk predicts protoplanets with slow retrograde rotation. However, if the building blocks of protoplanets, planetesimals, are small, of order of a meter in size, then they are likely to collide within the protoplanet's sphere of gravitational influence, creating a prograde accretion disk around the protoplanet. The accretion of such a disk results in the formation of protoplanets spinning in the prograde sense with the maximal spin rate allowed before centrifugal forces break them apart. As a result of semi-collisional accretion, the final spin of a planet after giant impacts is not completely random but is biased toward prograde rotation. The eventual accretion of the remaining planetesimals in the post giant-impact phase might again be in the semi-collisional regime and delivers a significant amount of additional prograde angular momentum to the terrestrial planets. We suggest that in our Solar System, semi-collisional accretion gave rise to the preference for prograde rotation observed in the terrestrial planets and perhaps the largest asteroids.

PORTFOLIO OPTIMIZATION IN STATISTICAL FINANCE
Creators: name: Vancea, Adrian Petru
Publisher: name: Maryland Shared Open Access Repository
Year: 2010

description: In this thesis we will find the optimum portfolio for a given set of assets. Since the return is a random quantity we would like to maximize its expected value. Instead of assuming anything about the distribution of the assets, we will estimate the expected value of the return and maximize the estimator. This will be done using a predictive distribution of the assets based on their history. To find the predictive distribution we can use an ICA based model or a similar randomization scheme but we will not address the prediction problem in this thesis. We will invest in terms of probability. The constraints of the maximization problem will be that the probability of the return to be less than a given value $gamma$ not to fall below a given probability q denote the probability of the return to be less than ? by Fn+1,? >. In the code for the brute force approach, which will give us the true value of the optimum portfolio and return, we will use a non-smooth approximation of Fn+1,? >. For the interior point method we will approximate Fn+1,? > by a smooth function tilde{F}? >. We will do this by convoluting hat{F}? > with the pdf of a normal distribution with zero mean and a very small variance. This approach is non-parametric, hence more robust. To solve the maximization problem we will apply a log-barrier method. We will give an interior point method and also a brute force approach which will solve the maximization problem. The brute force approach will be used only for the cases of k ? 3 ts. The role of the brute force approach will be mainly to give us the true solution to the maximization problem with which we will compare the solution given by the interior point method. In this way we will be able to validate the solution given by the interior point method for the cases of k ? 3 ts and to rely only on this method for the cases of k ? 4 ts.

description: One important application of the parameter identification method in neuroscience is to determine how voltage-dependent ion channels are spatially distributed through measurements of voltage along the dendrites. While in the past 50 years we have made tremendous strides experimentally to understand how neurons process information, there has also been a lot of supporting mathematical modeling work, initiated by the successful modeling work of Hodgkin and Huxley. As these models and experiments got more detailed, questions about the values of model parameters became more important, initiating parameter estimation investigations.In this study, we used optimization techniques to solve a parameter identification problem in mathematical modelling of neuronal processing of information at the cellular level, which is governed by a set of nonlinear partial differential equations. We first applied this method to a simplified neuron equation system, which we successfully identified spine density functions. The method is then extended to a more realistic model. We tested our method on cases where the densities to be estimated were either continuous functions with very steep gradients, or piecewise constant functions with large jumps. The method correctly identified the location and size of the jumps, and closely approximated the main features of the unknown density.We have successfully demonstrated the possibility and advantages of using a PDE-constrained optimization approach to recover the spatial distribution of dendritic spines from measurements. In particular, the method is very successful in identifying extreme densities with large jumps.
Telomere length measurements using fluorescence microscopy
Creators: name: Poon, Steven Sui Sang
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: We describe a system to estimate the lengths of telomere repeat DNA sequences in individual chromosomes of cells. Conventional systems based on gel electrophoresis of digested DNA an only determine the telomere length distribution of a population of cells but cannot provide estimation of telomere lengths of individual chromosomes using a limited number of cells. Our method is based on analyzing microscopy images of metaphase chromosomes prepared using fluorescence in-situ hybridization technology. In order to obtain reliable and reproducible images for measurements, we have developed and optimized an image acquisition system specifically for this purpose using commercially available components. In this study, two types of images are used. The first image highlights the chromosome regions. The second highlights only the telomere regions and consists of a set of multi-focus plane images. We first perform segmentation on the acquired multi-focus plane images in order to determine the region that each telomere occupies. For each telomere region determined, the total integrated fluorescence intensity (IFI) is obtained. This calculated IFI value is normalized for spatial unevenness in illumination in the field of view as well as the day to day variation in the illumination intensity. The acquired chromosome image is then segmented using novel and simple algorithms developed for such purpose. The location of the segmented telomere and chromosome boundaries are then overlaid onto the chromosome image. Different colour boundaries are used to highlight and identify different telomeres within a chromosome as well as the number of telomeres detected within each chromosome. The resulting image and the calculated telomere IFI values for each chromosome are then presented on the computer screen for user verification and editing as required. The algorithms described i n this thesis are presently being used on a daily basis to collect data on telomeres and to study the role telomeres play in the biology of cells. Our method of analysis has made it possible to generate reliable estimates of the length of telomeres in individual chromosome arms using a limited number of cells. In addition, our automation of the analysis has significantly reduced the user interaction time for editing and verification of the results. To date, at least two different biological studies of telomeres have been completed on the system we developed.

description: Sequential infiltration synthesis (SIS) consists in a controlled sequence of metal organic precursors and co-reactant vapor exposure cycles of polymer films. Two aspects characterize a SIS process: precursor molecule diffusion within the polymer matrix and precursor molecule entrapment into polymer films via chemical reaction. In this paper, we investigated SIS process for the alumina synthesis using trimethylaluminum (TMA) and H2O in thin films of poly(styrene-random-methyl methacrylate) (P(S-r-MMA)) with variable MMA content. The amount of alumina grown in the P(S-r-MMA) films linearly depends on MMA content. A relatively low concentration of MMA in the copolymer matrix is enough to guarantee the volumetric growth of alumina in the polymer film. In pure polystyrene, metal oxide seeds grow in the sub-surface region of the film. In-situ dynamic spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) analyses provide quantitative information about TMA diffusivity in pristine P(S-r-MMA) matrices as a function of MMA fraction, allowing further insight into the process kinetics as a function of the density of reactive sites in the polymer film. This work improves the understanding of infiltration synthesis mechanism and provides a practical approach to potentially expand the library of polymers that can be effectively infiltrated by introducing reactive sites in the polymer chain.

description: The transition metal-oxygen bond appears very prominently throughout chemistry and solid-state physics. Many materials, from biomolecules to ferroelectrics to the components of supernova remnants contain this bond in some form. Many of these materials' properties depend strongly on fine details of the TM-O bond, which makes accurate calculations of their properties very challenging. Here we report on highly accurate first principles calculations of the properties of TM monoxide molecules within fixed-node Diffusion Monte Carlo and Reptation Monte Carlo.

description: Excess nitrogen from agricultural activity on the Delmarva Peninsula contributes to impairment of Chesapeake Bay.  Most of the region's nitrogen load is transported to streams by groundwater.  Therefore, quantifying dynamics within the surficial aquifer is necessary for understanding nitrogen loads to the region's streams.  We use COMSOL Multiphysics 4.1 to examine heterogeneities within a two-dimensional cross-section of a representative aquifer in order to understand their influence on water-residence times and nutrient transport dynamics.  We found aquifers responded in a predictable manner to the addition of clay heterogeneities.  The presence of clay heterogeneities within the aquifer shifts the location of the phreatic divide, which delineates recharge allocation to receiving rivers.  Furthermore, hydraulic pressure head increases with the presence of clay strata, shortening residence time of water and nutrients within the aquifer.  When water and dissolved nutrients spend less time within the aquifer, a higher percentage of annual nutrient load is released into streams.  By understanding how nutrients flow within the aquifer, regulatory and management strategies can be developed to mitigate continued degradation of water resources in the region.

description: The van der Waals potential of two atoms in the presence of an arbitrary arrangement of dispersing and absorbing magnetodielectric bodies is studied. Starting from a polarizable atom placed within a given geometry, its interaction with a second polarizable/magnetizable atom is deduced from its Casimir-Polder interaction with a weakly polarizable/magnetizable test body. The general expressions for the van der Waals potential hence obtained are illustrated by considering first the case of two atoms in free space, with special emphasis on the interaction between (i) two polarizable atoms and (ii) a polarizable and a magnetizable atom. Furthermore, the influence of magnetodielectric bodies on the van der Waals interaction is studied in detail for the example of two atoms placed near a perfectly reflecting plate or a magnetodielectric half space, respectively.

description: We report on the fast production and weakly destructive detection of a Fermi gas with tunable interactions in a high finesse cavity. The cavity is used both with far off-resonant light to create a deep optical dipole trap, and with near-resonant light to reach the strong light-matter coupling regime. The cavity-based dipole trap allows for an efficient capture of laser-cooled atoms, and the use of a lattice-cancellation scheme makes it possible to perform efficient intra-cavity evaporative cooling. After transfer in a crossed optical dipole trap, we produce deeply degenerate unitary Fermi gases with up to $7 \cdot 10^5$ atoms inside the cavity, with an overall $2.85$ s long sequence. The cavity is then probed with near-resonant light to perform five hundred-times repeated, dispersive measurements of the population of individual clouds, allowing for weakly destructive observations of slow atom-number variations over a single sample. This platform will make possible the real-time observation of transport and dynamics as well as the study of driven-dissipative, strongly correlated quantum matter.

description: The link between the surface temperature of Mercury and the exosphere sodium content has been investigated. Observations show that, along the orbit of Mercury, two maxima of total Na content are present: one at aphelion and one at perihelion. Previous models, based on a simple thermal map, were not able to reproduce the aphelion peak. Here we introduce a new thermophysical model giving soil temperatures as an input for the IAPS exospheric model already used in the past with the input of a simple thermal map. By comparing the reference model output with the new one, we show that such improved surface temperature map is crucial to explain the temporal variability of Sodium along the orbit.

description: In optimization, a homogeneous model is an artificial transformation of a given problem. The transformation is done such that the homogeneous problem has always a solution even if the original  problem does not. Moreover, without having any assumption on the feasibility of the original problem, the homogeneous model is able to provide the solution if it exists, or a certificate of infeasibility otherwise. The first part of the thesis will introduce a homogeneous model for mixed linear complementarity problems which represent a generalization of the standard linear complementarity problems. We also study the properties of the model and show that the interior-point methods can be efficiently used for the  numerical solutions of the homogenous problem. The second part of the thesis is concerned with a computational study on the use of an optimization-based method in the simulation of fuel motion in a pebble bed reactor. The performance of several optimization packages (BLMVM, TRON, OOQP, and Mosek) for quadratic problems needed to simulate the system is investigated and reported. OOQP will be presented with both the default solver MA27 and our implementation based on CHOLMOD. CHOLMOD-based OOQP version is the fastest of all the packages tested. It consistently uses only about three times more memory than BLMVM, while achieving far higher precision levels. Both solvers behave predictably with the number of pebbles and can be used as robust software solutions in the simulation of the pebble bed reactor.

description: A Milstein-type scheme was proposed to improve the rate of convergence of its approximation of the solution to a stochastic differential equation driven by a vector of continuous semimartingales. A necessary and sufficient condition was provided for this rate to be $1/n$ when the SDE is driven by a vector of continuous local martingales, or continuous semimartingales under an additional assumption on their finite variation part. The asymptotic behavior (weak convergence) of the normalized error processes was also studied.

description: We present a systematic study of homogenization of diffusive and elastic random media with emphasis on tile-based random microstructures. We give detailed examples of several such media starting from their physical descriptions, then construct the associated probability spaces and verify their ergodicity. After a discussion of material symmetries of random media, we derive criteria for the isotropy of their homogenized limits. Furthermore, we study the periodization algorithm for the numerical approximation of the homogenized diffusion tensor and study the algorithm's rate of convergence. For one-dimensional tile-based media, we prove a central limit result, giving a concrete rate of convergence for periodization. We also provide numerical evidence for a similar central limit behavior in the case of two dimensional tile-based structures. Moreover, we study symmetries of elastic random media, and develop a theory for analyzing questions of isotropy; this allows us to derive minimal conditions on a symmetry group of a linearly elastic material that implies its isotropy. A natural setting for the formulation and analysis is provided by the group representation theory where the necessary and sufficient conditions for isotropy are expressed in terms of the irreducibility of certain group representations. Our approach allows for deriving isotropy results in contexts of hyperelastic, non-hyperelastic and polar media.  Our theory also allows us to rederive several known results under a unified theory.
Towards Understanding How Readers Integrate Charts and Captions: A Case Study with Line Charts

description: Charts often contain visually prominent features that draw attention to aspects of the data and include text captions that emphasize aspects of the data. Through a crowdsourced study, we explore how readers gather takeaways when considering charts and captions together. We first ask participants to mark visually prominent regions in a set of line charts. We then generate text captions based on the prominent features and ask participants to report their takeaways after observing chart-caption pairs. We find that when both the chart and caption describe a high-prominence feature, readers treat the doubly emphasized high-prominence feature as the takeaway; when the caption describes a low-prominence chart feature, readers rely on the chart and report a higher-prominence feature as the takeaway. We also find that external information that provides context, helps further convey the caption's message to the reader. We use these findings to provide guidelines for authoring effective chart-caption pairs.

description: We investigate the ground state competition at the transition from the spin unpolarized to spin ordered phase at filling factor $ν=2/3$ in single layer heterostructure and at $ν=2$ in double layer quantum well. To trace the quantum Hall phase we use the minimum in the dissipative conductivity $σ_{xx}$. We observe two different transition scenarios in two investigated situations. For one of them we propose a qualitative explanation, based on the domain structure evolution in the vicinity of the transition point. The origin for the second scenario, corresponding to the experimental situation at $ν=2$ in double layer 2DES, still remains unclear.

Transition scenario in hypersonic axisymmetrical compression ramp flow

description: A high-fidelity simulation of the shock/transitional boundary layer interaction caused by a 15-degrees axisymmetrical compression ramp is performed at a freestream Mach number of 5 and a transitional Reynolds number. The inlet of the computational domain is perturbed with a white noise in order to excite convective instabilities. Coherent structures are extracted using Spectral Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (SPOD), which gives a mathematically optimal decomposition of spatio-temporally correlated structures within the flow. The mean flow is used to perform a resolvent analysis in order to study non-normal linear amplification mechanisms. The comparison between the resolvent analysis and the SPOD results provides insight on both the linear and non-linear mechanisms at play in the flow. To carry out the analysis, the flow is separated into three main regions of interest: the attached boundary layer, the mixing layer and the reattachment region. The observed transition process is dependent on the linear amplification of oblique modes in the boundary layer over a broad range of frequencies. These modes interact nonlinearly to create elongated streamwise structures which are then amplified by a linear mechanism in the rest of the domain until they break down in the reattachment region. The early nonlinear interaction is found to be essential for the transition process.

description: Quantum key distribution (QKD) provides a physical-based way to conciliate keys between remote users securely. Simulation is an essential method for designing and optimizing QKD systems. We develop a universal simulation framework based on quantum operator descriptions of photon signals and optical devices. The optical devices can be freely combined and driven by the photon excitation events, which make it appropriate for arbitrary QKD systems in principle. Our framework focuses on realistic characters of optical devices and system structures. The imperfections of the devices and the non-local properties of a quantum system are taken into account when modeling. We simulate the single-photon and Hong-Ou-Mandel (HOM) interference optical units, which are fundamental of QKD systems. The results using this event-driven framework agree well with the theoretical results, which indicate its feasibility for QKD.

description: To explore the possibility that an inflationary universe can be created out of a stable particle in the laboratory, we consider the classical and quantum dynamics of a magnetic monopole in the thin-shell approximation. Classically there are three types of solutions: stable, collapsing and inflating monopoles. We argue that the transition from a stable monopole to an inflating one could occur either by collision with a domain wall or by quantum tunneling.
