Towards an emotionally communicative robot : feature analysis for multimodal support of affective touch recognition
Creators: name: Cang, Xi Laura
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Human affective state extracted from touch interaction takes advantage of natural communication of emotion through physical contact, enabling applications like robot therapy, intelligent tutoring systems, emotionally-reactive smart tech, and more. This work focused on the emotionally aware robot pet context and produced a custom, low-cost piezoresistive fabric touch sensor at 1-inch taxel resolution that accommodates the flex and stretch of the robot in motion. Using established machine learning techniques, we built classification models of social and emotional touch data. We present an iteration of the human-robot interaction loop for an emotionally aware robot through two distinct studies and demonstrate gesture recognition at roughly 85% accuracy (chance 14%). The first study collected social touch gesture data (N=26) to assess data quality of our custom sensor under noisy conditions: mounted on a robot skeleton simulating regular breathing, obscured under fur casings, placed over deformable surfaces. Our second study targeted affect with the same sensor, wherein participants (N=30) relived emotionally intense memories while interacting with a smaller stationary robot, generating touch data imbued with the following: Stressed, Excited, Relaxed, or Depressed. A feature space analysis triangulating touch, gaze, and physiological data highlighted the dimensions of touch that suggest affective state. To close the interactive loop, we had participants (N=20) evaluate researcherdesigned breathing behaviours on 1-DOF robots for emotional content. Results demonstrate that these behaviours can display human-recognizable emotion as perceptual affective qualities across the valence-arousal emotion model. Finally, we discuss the potential impact of a system capable of emotional “conversation” with human users, referencing specific applications.

description: Fractal dimensions of eigenfunctions for various critical random matrix ensembles are investigated in perturbation series in the regimes of strong and weak multifractality. In both regimes we obtain expressions similar to those of the critical banded random matrix ensemble extensively discussed in the literature. For certain ensembles, the leading-order term for weak multifractality can be calculated within standard perturbation theory. For other models such a direct approach requires modifications which are briefly discussed. Our analytical formulas are in good agreement with numerical calculations.

Bayesian Conditioning, the Reflection Principle, and Quantum Decoherence

description: The probabilities a Bayesian agent assigns to a set of events typically change with time, for instance when the agent updates them in the light of new data. In this paper we address the question of how an agent's probabilities at different times are constrained by Dutch-book coherence. We review and attempt to clarify the argument that, although an agent is not forced by coherence to use the usual Bayesian conditioning rule to update his probabilities, coherence does require the agent's probabilities to satisfy van Fraassen's [1984] reflection principle (which entails a related constraint pointed out by Goldstein [1983]). We then exhibit the specialized assumption needed to recover Bayesian conditioning from an analogous reflection-style consideration. Bringing the argument to the context of quantum measurement theory, we show that "quantum decoherence" can be understood in purely personalist terms---quantum decoherence (as supposed in a von Neumann chain) is not a physical process at all, but an application of the reflection principle. From this point of view, the decoherence theory of Zeh, Zurek, and others as a story of quantum measurement has the plot turned exactly backward.

description: Much is made of the potential for persistent identifiers (PIDs) to create efficiencies, aid discovery, and improve attribution and acknowledgements. Publishers have been at the forefront of PID adoption, from DOIs for articles to ORCID IDs for authors and reviewers. However, publishers are yet to fully realise the range of benefits PIDs could bring, especially in terms of their value in supporting open research. We present a life-cycle illustration of the benefits of PIDs, derived from a cost-benefit analysis we conducted for Jisc in the UK. The study identified significant benefits for publishers in streamlining internal information management, reducing administrative overhead, and improving the efficiency of submission processes (including payment of APCs) - not to mention improving the author experience. These improvements would enhance the integrity of publishing workflows and add transparency, ultimately increasing trust in research and research outputs. We found that PIDs could save the UK research sector £5.67M over five years, even after significant research sector investment in PID adoption and integrations. Publishers will only get their share of these benefits if they can rely on funders and institutions to populate PID registries with accurate data to feed publishing processes. At the same time, by embedding PIDs throughout their workflows, in metadata, and in discovery and aggregation tools, publishers will help multiply the benefits of PIDs for institutions and funders. We present new - and concrete - evidence of the long-hoped-for benefits of a shared PID-enabled open infrastructure, including pointing the way to how to build those benefits into the publishing system. We make the case that more outreach, cooperation, and education is needed across publishing and beyond to deliver those benefits. Our proposed win-win approach would help build trust across all scholarly communications stakeholders, as well as saving everyone time, effort, and money.

Climate change effects on grapevine

description: Over the last decades, Climate Change has become the paramount challenge for the current agricultural sector. The global warming, the increase of precipitation variability and the increasing frequency of extreme events are leading to detrimental consequences on crop performances. In particular, the viticulture sector is threatened by the approaching climate change, which is predicted to be particularly evident on the narrow geographical areas and the specific climatic niches of the main wine regions. Indeed, the warmer temperature and the extremes events are expected to have strong repercussions on phenology patterns, yield variations and quality changes of the most important grapevine varieties. Under these conditions, finding new solutions for maintaining high quality productions will be essential. To this regard, this work offers an overview of the present and future effects of climate change on viticulture in different regions, by analysing the specific impact of changing conditions on the main biological aspects of grapevine such as phenology, yield and quality. Accordingly, a literature review on the most recent studies, which are at the forefront in analysing climate change impacts on viticulture, will be essential for discussing the most important findings to proper deal with the relevant problems of climate change in this sector.

description: We develop a scheme for the minimal coupling of all standard types of tensor and spinor field matter to Plebanski gravity. This theory is a geometric reformulation of vacuum general relativity in terms of two-form frames and connection one-forms, and provides a covariant basis for various quantization approaches. Using the spinor formalism we prove the consistency of the newly proposed matter coupling by demonstrating the full equivalence of Plebanski gravity plus matter to Einstein--Cartan gravity. As a byproduct we also show the consistency of some previous suggestions for matter actions.

description: The aromatic infrared bands (AIBs) observed in the mid infrared spectrum are attributed to Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs). We observe the NGC 7023-North West (NW) PDR in the mid-infrared (10 - 19.5 micron) using the Infrared Spectrometer (IRS), on board Spitzer. Clear variations are observed in the spectra, most notably the ratio of the 11.0 to 11.2 micron bands, the peak position of the 11.2 and 12.0 micron bands, and the degree of asymmetry of the 11.2 micron band. The observed variations appear to change as a function of position within the PDR. We aim to explain these variations by a change in the abundances of the emitting components of the PDR. A Blind Signal Separation (BSS) method, i.e. a Non-Negative Matrix Factorization algorithm is applied to separate the observed spectrum into components. Using the NASA Ames PAH IR Spectroscopic Database, these extracted signals are fit. The observed signals alone were also fit using the database and these components are compared to the BSS components. Three component signals were extracted from the observation using BSS. We attribute the three signals to ionized PAHs, neutral PAHs, and Very Small Grains (VSGs). The fit of the BSS extracted spectra with the PAH database further confirms the attribution to ionized and neutral PAHs and provides confidence in both methods for producing reliable results. The 11.0 micron feature is attributed to PAH cations while the 11.2 micron band is attributed to neutral PAHs. The VSG signal shows a characteristically asymmetric broad feature at 11.3 micron with an extended red wing. By combining the NASA Ames PAH IR Spectroscopic Database fit with the BSS method, the independent results of each method can be confirmed and some limitations of each method are overcome.
Early metal complexes of an iminophosphorane containing ligand framework
Creators: name: Wence, Dennis Lee Kole
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: A new tridentate, dianionic ligand containing two amido donors and a central iminophosphorane, [NNN]H₂, was synthesized as an adaptation from the [tolylNPN*]H₂ ligand framework. The [NNN] system was designed as an extension to the ortho-phenylene bridged [NPN*] frameworks, which have been studied extensively with zirconium and tantalum. Zirconium amido and chloride complexes stabilized by [NNN] were synthesized via protonolysis routes, and the zirconium dibenzyl complex was synthesized from the halide precursor. Reduction of the zirconium dichloride species with alkali metal reagents led to cleavage of the iminophosphorane P=N bond. The LUMO of [NNN]ZrCl₂(THF) showed antibonding character of the iminophosphorane P=N, by DFT analysis. Steric calculations of [NNN]ZrX₂ complexes (G Value, %Vbur) showed increased steric hindrance of [NNN] relative to [NPN*] ligands. A neutral donor substitution competition experiment corroborated the steric calculations. Tantalum alkyl and alkyne complexes [NNN]TaMe₃ and [NNN]Ta(BTA)Cl were synthesized via salt metathesis reactions with the dipotassium salt of [NNN]. Treatment of [NNN]TaMe₃ with dihydrogen at elevated temperature led to cleavage of the iminophosphorane P=N bond, likely through reduced tantalum intermediate species. Treatment of [NNN]Ta(BTA)(benzyl) with dihydrogen did not generate tantalum-hydride species or hydrogenate the alkyne ligand. Addition of 4-isopropylphenylazide to [NNN]Ta(BTA)Cl led to the tantalum-imido compound [NNN]Ta=N(4-iPrPh)Cl via displacement of the alkyne ligand, BTA. Alternative ligand systems were also examined. A tetradentate ligand [PNNP]H₂ with ortho-phenylene linkers and an ethylene tether was synthesized, and installed on zirconium amido and chloride precursors. Reduction of [PNNP]ZrCl₂ with potassium graphite was unsuccessful in attempt to activate dinitrogen. A redesigned ligand with a propylene tether could not be synthesized, through several routes. A tridentate, monoanionic ligand with ortho-phenylene linkers and silylamide functionality was designed based on the [NPN*] and silylamide [PNP] ligands. The tridentate framework could not be synthesized through several routes, however, a new bidentate ligand with a secondary silylamide ortho to a phosphine group, a first of its class, was synthesized.

description: The delayed luminescence of biological tissues is an ultraweak reemission of absorbed photons after exposure to external monochromatic or white light illumination. Recently, Wang, Bókkon, Dai and Antal (Brain Res. 2011) presented the first experimental proof of the existence of spontaneous ultraweak biophoton emission and visible light induced delayed ultraweak photon emission from in vitro freshly isolated rat's whole eye, lens, vitreous humor and retina. Here, we suggest that the photobiophysical source of negative afterimage can also occur within the eye by delayed bioluminescent photons. In other words, when we stare at a colored (or white) image for few seconds, external photons can induce excited electronic states within different parts of the eye that is followed by a delayed reemission of absorbed photons for several seconds. Finally, these reemitted photons can be absorbed by nonbleached photoreceptors that produce a negative afterimage. Although this suggests the photobiophysical source of negative afterimages is related retinal mechanisms, cortical neurons have also essential contribution in the interpretation and modulation of negative afterimages.

description: Монография посвящена актуальной проблеме исследования феномена циркулярной экономики в концепции устойчивого развития хозяйственной системы России. Обеспечение устойчивого развития социально-экономических систем — одна из острейших проблем современного общества, обусловленная нарастанием ограниченности ресурсов и крайне неэффективного дальнейшего роста экономики за счет экстенсивных факторов. Концепция устойчивого развития сформировалась и приобрела самостоятельный теоретический статус в середине 80-х гг. XX века, однако до сих пор широкий спектр проблем не нашел успешного решения. Особенностью монографии является то, что в ней соединены общемировые и российские вопросы становления замкнутой, «зеленой» экономики, где раскрываются нерешенные проблемы. В книге исследованы теоретические подходы и российский опыт внедрения замкнутой экономики, поиск нового формата экономического развития в посткризисный период после пандемии, инновационное развитие биоэкономики по переработке и утилизации отходов, социально-экономическое развитие регионов как условие обеспечения экономической безопасности страны, влияние инновационной деятельности на достижение устойчивого развития регионов России, импакт-инвестиции, предпринимательство как фактор перехода к циркулярной экономике и другие значимые проблемы. Монография ориентирована на широкий круг читателей и может быть полезна и интересна ученым и практикам, экономистам, экологам, социологам, а также докторантам, аспирантам, магистрам и студентам, специализирующимся в области устойчивого развития социо-эколого-экономических отношений в контексте циркулярной экономики.

description: Milk prices received by producers and paid by processors vary by region under the current system of Federal milk marketing orders. Yet, the system ensures sufficient milk supplies to consumers and provides economic stability to producers. The system could be modified so that it is more competitive and so that it increases economic efficiency while maintaining market stability and reducing risk. Such a system could reduce overall producer revenues and affect dairy product manufacturing, but it could also redistribute those revenues among regions, provide savings to consumers, reduce Government purchases of dairy products, generate more efficient shipping patterns, and reduce interregional marketing costs. This study focuses on four such modifications at two levels of dairy price supports: (1) removing the pricing practices that discourage reconstituting dairy products for fluid use, (2) establishing a single nationwide milk marketing order, as opposed to the numerous orders of the current system, (3) eliminating the classified pricing system, which increases the price of milk used in fluid (beverage) milk products, and (4) pricing Grade A milk for fluid use from multiple price-basing points rather than from the current single price-basing point in central Wisconsin.

description: Very few molecular species have been detected in circumstellar disks surrounding young stellar objects. We are carrying out an observational study of the chemistry of circumstellar disks surrounding T Tauri and Herbig Ae stars. First results of this study are presented in this note. We used the EMIR receivers recently installed at the IRAM 30m telescope to carry a sensitive search for molecular lines in the disks surrounding AB Aur, DM Tau, and LkCa 15. We detected lines of the molecules HCO+, CN, H2CO, SO, CS, and HCN toward AB Aur. In addition, we tentatively detected DCO+ and H2S lines. The line profiles suggest that the CN, HCN, H2CO, CS and SO lines arise in the disk. This makes it the first detection of SO in a circumstellar disk. We have unsuccessfully searched for SO toward DM Tau and LkCa 15, and for c-C3H2 toward AB Aur, DM Tau, and LkCa 15. Our upper limits show that contrary to all the molecular species observed so far, SO is not as abundant in DM Tau as it is in AB Aur. Our results demonstrate that the disk associated with AB Aur is rich in molecular species. Our chemical model shows that the detection of SO is consistent with that expected from a very young disk where the molecular adsorption onto grains does not yet dominate the chemistry.

description: The paper discusses a self tuning control algorithm for a multivariable plant applied to a grammage cross profile control of a paper machine. The plant model represents the steady-state couplings as well as the dynamics behaviour of the system. The control algorithm handles special situations including the case where the numper of measurments is not equal to the numper of actuators and the case where special actuators are locked. The whole identification algorithm with a specical filter and an estimation of the required measurment accuary for a succesful identification of the steady-state couplings will be discussed. The paper shows how to proof the stability of the control system including the cases of locked actuators and identification errors. Finally, the whole conrol system is verified by in house simulations and at a real plant. The obtained control results are discussed.

description: It has recently been pointed out that under certain circumstances the back-reaction of charged, massive Dirac fermions causes important modifications to AdS_2 spacetimes arising as the near horizon geometry of extremal black holes. In a WKB approximation, the modified geometry becomes a non-relativistic Lifshitz spacetime. In three dimensions, it is known that integrating out charged, massive fermions gives rise to gravitational and Maxwell Chern-Simons terms. We show that Schrodinger (warped AdS_3) spacetimes exist as solutions to a gravitational and Maxwell Chern-Simons theory with a cosmological constant. Motivated by this, we look for warped AdS_3 or Schrodinger metrics as exact solutions to a fully back-reacted theory containing Dirac fermions in three and four dimensions. We work out the dynamical exponent in terms of the fermion mass and generalize this result to arbitrary dimensions.

The acoustic and perceptual effects of single-microphone noise reduction in hearing aids on Mandarin fricatives and affricates
Creators: name: Chong, Foong Yen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Single-microphone noise reduction (SMNR) is implemented in hearing aids to suppress background noise. The noise-like feature in fricatives and affricates is susceptible to SMNR processing when background noise is present. Most SMNR studies have examined English speech materials but very few have examined Mandarin fricatives and affricates. In the present research, three studies were conducted to examine the acoustic and perceptual effects of SMNR on Mandarin fricatives and affricates. Study 1 aimed to test the validity of the inversion technique as a tool for separating speech and noise signals recorded from hearing aids in sound field. Study 1 showed that the inversion technique is a feasible and reliable tool for separating speech and noise post hearing-aid processing. However, fidelity of the retrieved speech signals showed variability between hearing aids. The acoustic effects of SMNR on Mandarin and English fricatives and affricates were examined in Study 2. Speech-plus-noise signals were presented to and recorded from one of two hearing aids mounted on a manikin, under SMNR-on and SMNR-off conditions. Speech signals were retrieved for subsequent acoustic analysis. The results showed that SMNR processing did not produce substantial acoustical changes in the temporal and spectral domain as measured in the Hearing Aid Speech Quality Index. Spectrographic analysis showed a reduction in frication-noise and release-burst intensity, and changes in the spectral mean. In Study 3, the Mandarin retroflex fricative and affricates, processed with and without SMNR, were used to examine the effects of SMNR on novel speech sound identification in noise by naïve listeners. Native English talkers might rely on bottom up processing to categorize the Mandarin retroflex sounds because these sounds were not in the English phonemic inventory. All listeners underwent five sessions of identification training and testing. The results showed that SMNR did not degrade the identification of novel speech sound in naïve listeners. Significant contributions of the present research are (i) the acoustic effects of SMNR on Mandarin and English fricatives and affricates were systematically documented and (ii) provided further evidence on SMNR having no effect on speech perception in noise.

description: Sub milli-arcsecond imaging in the visible band will provide a new perspective in stellar astrophysics. Even though stellar intensity interferometry was abandoned more than 40 years ago, it is capable of imaging and thus accomplishing more than the measurement of stellar diameters as was previously thought. Various phase retrieval techniques can be used to reconstruct actual images provided a sufficient coverage of the interferometric plane is available. Planned large arrays of Air Cherenkov telescopes will provide thousands of simultaneously available baselines ranging from a few tens of meters to over a kilometer, thus making imaging possible with unprecedented angular resolution. Here we investigate the imaging capabilities of arrays such as CTA or AGIS used as Stellar Intensity Interferometry receivers. The study makes use of simulated data as could realistically be obtained from these arrays. A Cauchy-Riemann based phase recovery allows the reconstruction of images which can be compared to the pristine image for which the data were simulated. This is first done for uniform disk stars with different radii and corresponding to various exposure times, and we find that the uncertainty in reconstructing radii is a few percent after a few hours of exposure time. Finally, more complex images are considered, showing that imaging at the sub-milli-arc-second scale is possible.

description: In this paper, we calculated the dielectric function, the loss function, the magnetoplasmon dispersion relation and the temperature-induced transitions for graphene in a uniform perpendicular magnetic field B. The calculations were performed using the Peierls tight-binding model to obtain the energy band structure and the random-phase approximation to determine the collective plasma excitation spectrum. The single-particle and collective excitations have been precisely identified based on the resonant peaks in the loss function. The critical wave vector at which plasmon damping takes place is clearly established. This critical wave vector depends on the magnetic field strength as well as the levels between which the transition takes place. The temperature effects were also investigated. At finite temperature, there are plasma resonances induced by the Fermi distribution function. Whether such plasmons exist is mainly determined by the field strength, temperature, and momentum. The inelastic light scattering spectroscopies could be used to verify the magnetic field and temperature induced plasmons.

description: In this thesis sorption of An(III)/(VI) is studied onto monomineralic clays and natural claystones by batch and spectroscopic studies and model calculations, in order to identify the minerals relevant for sorption as well as the fundamental sorption mechanisms. Furthermore, the application of sorption data determined for pure mineral phases to natural systems is discussed. The An(III)/clay outer-sphere sorption is quantified by TRLFS; the sorption site is localized by EXAFS for the first time.

description: Fixings of different thin-walled building components differ in load-bearing behaviour and load-bearing capacity, even if identical screw fasteners are used. This is most pronounced for fixings under tensile loading. In this case, the differences are caused by the differences in geometry and material properties of the thin-walled building components, leading to differences in local deformation behaviour and therefore local stressing. We discuss the influence of parameters such as geometry and material on load-bearing behaviour and pull-trough resistance of fixings with screw fasteners. A comparison between the different thin-walled building components is made, also focusing on the difference between sheeting made of steel and made of aluminium. The conclusions of this discussion have to be taken into account when designing test set-ups for the determination of the characteristic resistance values of such connections. A short review of the new ECCS-Recommendations dealing with testing of fixings is done. 
For thin-walled trapezoidal sheeting and corrugated sheeting design equations can be obtained by evaluating a huge number of test results. These equations are presented and compared with theequations in design codes. For sandwich panels, a equation allowing analysing the influence of material and geometrical parameters on the load-bearing resistance is presented.

description: Trapezoidal sheeting made of stainless steel can be used for applications with high requirements on visual appearance or corrosion resistance. The calculation of the load-bearing capacity of thin-walled structures including trapezoidal sheeting normally follows the procedures of EN 1993-1-3 and similar codes. EN 1993-1-4 complements this standard concerning thin-walled structures made of stainless steel. This standard relies on many publications on thin-walled structures made of stainless steel. But unfortunately these publications almost all focus on thin-walled beams and columns and therefore some topics that are specific to trapezoidal sheeting are not recognized.
The results of the presented research results on the load-bearing behaviour of thin-walled trapezoidal sheeting made of stainless steel are closing this gap: With the proposed additions to the existing design formulae, the complete calculation of the load-bearing capacity of trapezoidal sheeting made of stainless steel is possible.
Load-bearing capacity of perforated trapezoidal sheeting

description: Thin-walled perforated sheeting is used for sound absorption in buildings. The perforation may extend over the whole surface or only parts of the sheeting, e.g. webs. So far only reduction factors for the in-plane stiffness and the bending stiffness of fully perforated sheets with an equilateral triangular perforation pattern are included in EN 1993-1-3 and EN 1999-1-4. These factors only apply to perforation patterns in form of equilateral triangles, because of the isotropy assumed during derivation. Furthermore, the equations provide only information on stiffness and not on the stability behaviour of thin-walled components. The insufficient and misleading formulations of these regulations are overcome by the investigations presented here. Design rules for trapezoidal sheeting which are fully or partly perforated with equilateral triangular or square perforation patterns are given. The design rules take into account the beneficial effect of the post-buckling behaviour of the sheeting. They also cover web crippling at supports or under local loads. 
Starting with the basic aspects of the load-bearing behaviour, the parameters required for capturing the influence of the perforation are defined and determined for the different perforation patterns. By introducing these parameters into the design procedures for the calculation of the load-bearing capacity of thin-walled structural components being at risk of buckling failure, the use of these procedures is expanded to fully perforated structural components. Numerical investigations with the finite-elements-method allow the verification of these theoretically derived calculation procedures. 
Based on comprehensive numerical and experimental investigations on web crippling, it can be shown for fully and partially perforated trapezoidal profiles, that the influence of the perforation can be captured by multiplying the capacities according to EN 1993-1-3 and EN 1999-1-4 with a factor Cp for fully perforated profiles and Ctp for partially perforated profiles. A calculation procedure for these factors is given. 
The recalculations of more than 600 experimental tests with perforated trapezoidal and corrugated sheeting which were performed since the 1980s at the University of Karlsruhe show the good correlation between the calculation procedure and the test results.
title: ApplTree: A single case experimental design study of a smartphone reminding application with community-dwelling adults who have sustained a stroke

Subjects: subject: stroke, smartphone, cognitive rehabilitation, prospective memory, memory aid.

description: Chapter 1. A systematic review was conducted to assess the efficacy of portable electronic personal assistant devices (PEPADs) in the rehabilitation of prospective memory (PM) following stroke. Methodological quality of included studies was also assessed. Seven electronic databases were searched as well as hand searching of references. Quantitative investigational studies of PEPADs for memory impairment following stroke with adults were considered. The Physiotherapy Evidence Database scale (PEDro) and the Risk of Bias in N of 1 Trials (RoBiN-T) were used to assess risk of bias. A narrative synthesis of findings is presented. Two single case evaluation design studies (SCEDs) and three controlled trials met inclusion criteria. The mean PEDro score was 5/10, the mean RoBiN-T score was 14/30. Mobile phones were the most investigated PEPAD. Study design was heterogenous. Small-large effect sizes were evident when PEPADs were introduced and large effect sizes following their removal. Most participants completed more PM tasks using a PEPAD than a paper-based memory aid in one study. One study found continued PEPAD use at long-term follow-up. PEPADs are a promising avenue in the rehabilitation of post-stroke PM impairment. However, the evidence base is limited. More rigorously designed, long-term SCED and group studies are required to inform clinical practice.

description: Simulation studies are presented regarding the performance of algorithms that localize point-like radioactive sources detected by a position sensitive portable radiation instrument (COCAE). The source direction is estimated by using the List Mode Maximum Likelihood Expectation Maximization (LM-ML-EM) imaging algorithm. Furthermore, the source-to-detector distance is evaluated by three different algorithms based on the photo-peak count information of each detecting layer, on the quality of the reconstructed source image as well as on the triangulation method. These algorithms have been tested on a large number of simulated photons in a wide energy range (from 200keV up to 2MeV) emitted by point-like radioactive sources located at different orientation and source-to-detector distances.

title: Existence and uniqueness of inductive limit Cartan subalgebras in inductive limit C*-algebras
Creators: name: Raad, Ali
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow

description: The main focus of this thesis is to answer the question of existence and uniqueness of inductive limit Cartan subalgebras in certain inductive limit C*-algebras. The classes of inductive limit C*-algebras considered are the unital AF, AI, and AT- algebras. The results obtained are then generalized to certain AX-algebras. This thesis shows that all the aforementioned classes (and AX-algebras for planar finite connected graphs X ⊂ ℂ which arise from unital and injective connecting maps contain inductive limit Cartan subalgebras. It also shows that for all these classes except for the AF-algebras, uniqueness of the inductive limit Cartan subalgebras fails. We construct two non-isomorphic AI-Cartan subalgebras inside both a non-simple and simple AI-algebra. We provide a class of simple and unital AIalgebras for which uniqueness of AI-Cartan subalgebras fails. For the AF-algebras, we give a K-theoretic proof of the uniqueness of the AF-Cartan subalgebras. Additionally, this thesis generalizes a theorem by Renault which characterises Cartan pairs in separable C*-algebras by twisted étale second countable groupoids. The generalization captures all Cartan pairs, not just the separable ones.
