Self-adaptation via concurrent multi-action evaluation for unknown context
Creators: name: Nimalasena, Mudiyanselage
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2017

description: Context-aware computing has been attracting growing attention in recent years. Generally, there are several ways for a context-aware system to select a course of action for a particular change of context. One way is for the system developers to encompass all possible context changes in the domain knowledge. Other methods include system inferences and adaptive learning whereby the system executes one action and evaluates the outcome and self-adapts/self-learns based on that. However, in situations where a system encounters unknown contexts, the iterative approach would become unfeasible when the size of the action space increases. Providing efficient solutions to this problem has been the main goal of this research project. Based on the developed abstract model, the designed methodology replaces the single action implementation and evaluation by multiple actions implemented and evaluated concurrently. This parallel evaluation of actions speeds up significantly the evolution time taken to select the best action suited to unknown context compared to the iterative approach. The designed and implemented framework efficiently carries out concurrent multi-action evaluation when an unknown context is encountered and finds the best course of action. Two concrete implementations of the framework were carried out demonstrating the usability and adaptability of the framework across multiple domains. The first implementation was in the domain of database performance tuning. The concrete implementation of the framework demonstrated the ability of concurrent multi-action evaluation technique to performance tune a database when performance is regressed for an unknown reason. The second implementation demonstrated the ability of the framework to correctly determine the threshold price to be used in a name-your-own-price channel when an unknown context is encountered. In conclusion the research introduced a new paradigm of a self-adaptation technique for context-aware application. Among the existing body of work, the concurrent multi-action evaluation is classified under the abstract concept of experiment-based self-adaptation techniques.

description: Searches for magnetic fields in white dwarfs have clarified both the frequency of occurrence and the global structure of the fields found down to field strengths of the order of 500 kG. Below this level, the situation is still very unclear. We are studying the weakest fields found in white dwarfs to determine the frequency of such fields and their structure. We describe a very sensitive new method of measuring such fields in DA (H-rich) white dwarfs, and search for a field in the brightest such star, 40 Eri B. Our new method makes use of the strongly enhanced polarisation signal in the sharp core of Halpha. We find that with one-hour integrations with the high-resolution spectropolarimeter ESPaDOnS on the 3.6-m CFHT, we can reach a standard error fo the longitudinal field of about 85 G, the smallest error ever achieved for any white dwarf. Nevertheless, we do not detect a magnetic field in this star. Observations with ISIS at the WHT, and the Main Stellar Spectrograph at the SAO, support the absence of a field at somewhat lower precision. The new method is very efficient; it is shown that for suitable DA stars the integration time, with ESPaDOnS on a 3.6-m telescope, to reach a 500 G standard error on a white dwarf of V = 12.5, is about half an hour, about the same as the time required on an ESO 8-m telescope with FORS using conventional low-resolution spectropolarimetry.

description: It is shown that the spontaneous magnetization occurs due to the anomalous magnetic moments of quarks in the high-density quark matter under the tensor-type four-point interaction. The spin polarized condensate for each flavor of quark appears at high baryon density, which leads to the spontaneous magnetization due to the anomalous magnetic moments of quarks. The implications to the strong magnetic field in the compact stars is discussed.

Transportation: A Structural Barrier to Prenatal Care Attendance - A Retrospective Cohort Study of Mothers Delivering in North Carolina
Creators: name: Maldonado, Lauren

Year: 2018

description: Introduction: Adequate prenatal care can improve birth outcomes. To understand the impact of transportation on prenatal care attendance, we investigated the effect of driving time from a patient’s home to the prenatal clinic on her likelihood to arrive late, cancel or no show appointments.           Methods: We conducted a retrospective cohort study of mothers receiving prenatal care and delivering at North Carolina Women's Hospital between July 1st, 2014 and June 30th, 2016. Demographic and outcome data were queried from the electronic medical record. Patients arriving more than 30 minutes late to appointments were classified as late arrivals. We used multinomial logistic regression to analyze the effect of driving time - calculated by ArcGIS software using geocoded addresses - on a patient’s arrival status while controlling for pregnancy characteristics (high vs. low risk, parity) and sociodemographic (age, race/ethnicity, insurance status, marital status) characteristics.   Results: Our study sample consisted of 2,808 women with 24,021 prenatal appointments.  Median travel time was 33.8 minutes (IQR: 19.2, 52.4) from a patient’s home to clinic. Most appointments were attended on time (64.7%), followed by cancellations (21.5%), no-shows (7.9%), and late arrivals (5.9%). Women who are Non-Hispanic Black or with higher parity were significantly more likely to arrive late, cancel or no-show than arrive on time. Older, partnered, or high-risk women were less likely to no-show than arrive on time.   For every 10 minutes of driving time, women were 1.05 (95% CI 1.02-1.08) times as likely to arrive late and 1.03 (95% CI 1.01, 1.04) times as likely to cancel than arrive on time, adjusting for covariates. Driving time did not significantly affect a patient’s likelihood of no-showing appointments. Conclusion: Longer travel time is one barrier that impedes prenatal care attendance. Sociodemographic characteristics also significantly impact attendance outcomes. Targeted approaches are needed to overcome multi-faceted challenges to accessing adequate prenatal care.

description: Il progetto “AAA Futuro Cercasi” è un percorso di orientamento rivolto agli studenti in uscita dalla Scuola Secondaria Superiore e supportato da Social Network. In alternativa ad un orientamento informativo circa l’offerta universitaria e lavorativa, il percorso mira a valorizzare le competenze degli studenti, le abilità di lavoro in gruppo e la conoscenza delle risorse del territorio. Nelle prime due edizioni hanno partecipato in totale 129 studenti. Il progetto, ora alla terza edizione, si basa sull’approccio Design-Based Research, per cui ogni edizione è stata migliorata tenendo conto dei risultati di quella precedente. Pur restando constante l’articolazione in quattro fasi – incontri iniziali in presenza; attività sui SN; progetti collaborativi; incontri finali in presenza – sono stati migliorati tempi e modalità di esecuzione delle attività. Inoltre, è stato osservato che la partecipazione al progetto fa diminuire l’incertezza verso il futuro e delle scelte da affrontare.

description: La digital collaboration è un modo di lavorare e interagire, tra operatori (knowledge workers) tra loro distanti, che si incontra in molti scenari applicativi e, frequentemente, nel campo della formazione. L’adozione di un regime di digital collaboration, tuttavia, non sempre corrisponde, negli stakeholders, a una consapevolezza dei vincoli e requisiti di questo tipo di approccio. La bontà di un’iniziativa di digital collaboration dipende sia dalle specifiche qualità dello strumento tecnologico adottato, sia dalla preparazione degli utenti. In questo lavoro, viene definito un insieme di requisiti essenziali per il design di tali spazi virtuali, ispirato alle soluzioni più avanzate. Parallelamente vengono analizzate alcune capacità essenziali (virtual interaction skills) che i partecipanti a questi spazi devono possedere per agire efficacemente. Ambedue questi insiemi di requisiti sono destinati a diventare sempre più stringenti ed estesi con l’evoluzione delle nuove tecnologie.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2010

description: Objectives: To explore International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) reimbursement strategies and success rates for third party reimbursement. Methods: All United States IBCLCs (10,495) with email received the survey. Results were descriptively analyzed. Results: Response rate was 29% (n=2637). Thirty percent did not know about reimbursement strategies. Twenty-five percent do not file encounters for reimbursement. Thirty-four percent use their IBCLC credentials as a billing source for third party reimbursement. The success of this strategy is high for 5% of encounters. Conclusions: Lactation management by IBCLCs is not consistently reimbursed by third party payers. The credentials used as a billing source are important to successful reimbursement. Many IBCLCs are not familiar with reimbursement strategies or do not submit to insurance.

description: Contamination of biomedical products with pathogenic microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, and viruses) is one of the main causes of hospital-acquired infections (HAI), and a major burden to the healthcare system. The development of biomaterials that can hamper the contamination of surfaces is vital to decrease patient-related infections in healthcare settings. In this landscape, this review identifies some of the latest antimicrobial strategies while paying particular attention to emerging antimicrobial biomaterials and nature-inspired antimicrobial surface topographies, which are rapidly finding application in the fabrication of biomedical engineering constructs.

description: In the quest for switching of the charge carrier type in conductive materials, we focus on nonsymmorphic crystals, which are expected to have highly anisotropic folded Fermi surfaces due to the symmetry requirements. Following simple tight-binding model simulation, we prepare nonsymmorphic IrO2 single-crystalline films with various growth orientations by molecular beam epitaxy, and systematically quantify their Hall effect for the corresponding field directions. The results clearly demonstrate that the dominant carrier type can be intrinsically controlled by the magnetic field direction, as also evidenced by first-principles calculations revealing nontrivial momentum dependence of the group velocity and mass tensor on the folded Fermi surfaces and its anisotropic nature for the field direction.

A Luminous X-ray Flare From The Nucleus of The Dormant Bulgeless Spiral Galaxy NGC 247

description: NGC 247 is a nearby late-type bulgeless spiral galaxy that contains an inactive nucleus. We report a serendipitous discovery of an X-ray flare from the galaxy center with a luminosity up to 2*10^39 erg/s in the 0.3-10 keV band with XMM-Newton. A Chandra observation confirms that the new X-ray source is spatially coincident with the galaxy nucleus. The XMM-Newton data revealed a hard power-law spectrum with a spectral break near 3-4 keV, no pulsations on timescales longer than 150 ms, and a flat power spectrum consistent with Poisson noise from 1 mHz to nearly 10 Hz. Follow-up observations with Swift detected a second flux peak followed by a luminosity drop by factor of almost 20. The spectral and temporal behaviors of the nuclear source are well consistent with the scenario that the flare was due to an outburst of a low-mass X-ray binary that contains a stellar-mass black hole emitting near its Eddington limit at the peak. However, it cannot be ruled out that the sudden brightening in the nucleus was due to accretion onto a possible low-mass nuclear black hole, fed by a tidally disrupted star or a gas cloud; the MAXI observations limit the peak luminosity of the flare to less than ~10^43 erg/s, suggesting that it is either a low mass black hole or an inefficient tidal disruption event (TDE).

Deck Carriage under the Maritime Code of Ethiopia: A Comment on the Decision of the Addis Ababa High Court in Girma Kebede v. Ethiopian Shipping Lines Case
Creators: name: Gedecho, Hailegabriel
Publisher: name: Bahir Dar University Journal of Law
Year: 2022

description: Synopsis of the Case



A certain Girma Kebede contracted with Ethiopian Shipping Lines for
the carriage of some goods (a car and some electronics items kept in the car)
from Rotterdam, the Netherlands, to the Port of Assab, Ethiopia. The goods
kept in the car were mentioned in the bill of lading; and they were carried on
deck. Though the car was delivered at the port of Assab, the items kept inside
the car were not delivered. Subsequently, Ato Girma sued the shipping lines
for a total of 12,000 Eth. Birr – which, according to the plaintiff, was the total
value of the items undelivered.
The shipping lines, in its part, argued, inter alia, that it is not liable for
the lost items as they were carried on deck.1 In response to this argument, the
plaintiff invoked the Amharic version of Art.180 (4) of the Maritime Code
which, according to the plaintiff, does not free the carrier from liability for
loss or damage of goods carried on deck. Accordingly, the English version of
Art.180 (4) of the Maritime Code, which arguably frees the carrier from
liabilities related to on-deck carriage of any goods, is superseded by the
Amharic equivalent which permits exoneration vis-a-vis only one type of deck
cargo, i.e. on-deck carriage of live animals.

Semantic Selection of Internet Sources through SWRL Enabled OWL Ontologies
Creators: name: Almarri, Hamda
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2017

description: This research examines the problem of Information Overload (IO) and give an overview of various attempts to resolve it. Furthermore, argue that instead of fighting IO, it is advisable to start learning how to live with it. It is unlikely that in modern information age, where users are producer and consumer of information, the amount of data and information generated would decrease. Furthermore, when managing IO, users are confined to the algorithms and policies of commercial Search Engines and Recommender Systems (RSs), which create results that also add to IO. this research calls to initiate a change in thinking: this by giving greater power to users when addressing the relevance and accuracy of internet searches, which helps in IO. However powerful search engines are, they do not process enough semantics in the moment when search queries are formulated. This research proposes a semantic selection of internet sources, through SWRL enabled OWL ontologies. the research focuses on SWT and its Stack because they (a)secure the semantic interpretation of the environments where internet searches take place and (b) guarantee reasoning that results in the selection of suitable internet sources in a particular moment of internet searches. Therefore, it is important to model the behaviour of users through OWL concepts and reason upon them in order to address IO when searching the internet. Thus, user behaviour is itemized through user preferences, perceptions and expectations from internet searches. The proposed approach in this research is a Software Engineering (SE) solution which provides computations based on the semantics of the environment stored in the ontological model.

The impact of changes in HIV testing and treatment guidelines on maternal health and survival in Namibia
Creators: name: Cisse, Carol
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: 2015 is quickly approaching and HIV and maternal mortality remain the two top causes of death for women of reproductive age both globally and in sub-Saharan Africa. HIV/AIDS accounts for 19 percent of all deaths worldwide for women aged 15-44 years and sub-Saharan Africa has the highest proportion of maternal deaths due to HIV at 10 percent. High maternal mortality coupled with a high burden of HIV means that pregnant women are confronted with the dual risks of death associated with advancing HIV disease as well as an increased risk of pregnancy-related mortality. In sub-Saharan Africa, the maternal mortality rate (MMR) is now declining as antiretroviral therapy (ART) becomes increasingly available. HIV/AIDS remains a serious public health concern, however, for Namibian women and children. Despite its relatively small population of approximately 2,000,000 people, HIV prevalence among Namibians aged 15-49 years is estimated at more than 18 percent. By strengthening HIV services for pregnant women to include expanded and comprehensive testing, counseling, treatment, and care, HIV-related MMRs can be dramatically reduced. Integrated approaches to service delivery are needed and will benefit HIV-positive women and their children by providing them with improved HIV care and treatment, greater access to reproductive health services, and more comprehensive treatment for the prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT).

description: In this work we perform a numerical exploration of the families of planar periodic orbits in the Hill's approximation in the restricted four body problem, that is, after a symplectic scaling, two massive bodies are sent to infinity, by mean of expanding the potential as a power series in m3^1/3, (the mass of the third small primary) and taking the limit case when m3 tends to zero. The limiting Hamiltonian depends on a parameter mu (the mass of the second primary) and possesses some dynamical features from both the classical restricted three- body problem and the restricted four-body problem. We explore the families of periodic orbits of the infinitesimal particle for some values of the mass pa- rameter, these explorations show interesting properties regarding the periodic orbits for this problem, in particular for the Sun-Jupiter-asteroid case. We also offer details on the horizontal and vertical stability of each family.

the national court for the heinous crimes committed while in power. In this regard, it
is said that the Red Terror Trial is considered as Africa’s glaring example of
retributive justice; just as the Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) was
Africa’s contribution to restorative justice.1 Soon after the demise of the Derg regime,
the new government of Ethiopia decided to address the past state-sponsored human
rights violations through judicial means. In accordance with this decision, the Office
of Special Prosecutor charged over 5000 members of the defunct regime for the past
human rights violations. At the beginning, the decision to prosecute the perpetrators
received a great appreciation from inside and outside thinking that the process would
heal the wounds of the society, prevent the recurrence of such kind of atrocities in the
future, and bring the culture of impunity to an end. However, through the passage of
time, it appears that the process has failed to ensure accountability for the past human
rights violations while respecting the rights of the defendants in conformity with the
international human rights standards and domestic law. Specifically there had been
lengthy pre-trial detentions, violations of the rights of speedy trial and of the rights to
counsel. Besides, the process has received low public attention. This, in turn, limits
significance of the process in providing a lesson to the public. In this article, it is
intended to canvass Red Terror Trials as response to past gross human rights
violations, and to examine the process from the perspective of the defendants’ rights.
In view of this, this article has two parts: part I will begin with an overview of
transitional justice; and part II will deal with Red Terror Trials.

Spatial characteristics that create & sustain functional encounters: a new three-layered model for unpacking how street markets support urbanity
Creators: name: Fulford, William
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2017

description: This dissertation explores the role of street markets in supporting urbanity as defined by Sennett (1974) to mean the ability for people to ‘act together without the compulsion to be the same’. The study draws together and builds on three strands of literature – public space, difference and social encounters – to propose a new model of urbanity that provides a conceptual link between the physical characteristics of space, its ability to support differences, and the encounters that take place within it. Previous writings on urbanity have explored a variety of urban spaces but this study is the first to focus on street markets. Using qualitative semi-structured interviews, informal participant observations and a quantitative structured survey, the study explores the attitudes of market traders and customers towards difference and diversity within two ‘ordinary’ case-study London street markets in ethnically diverse and comparatively deprived urban areas. The core finding is that there are seven characteristics of street markets, presented over a three-layered model, that make them highly effective in creating and sustaining functional encounters that support urbanity. Layer I consists of three spatial characteristics – (1) micro-borders, (2) precarity and (3) proximity – that generate moments of mutual solidarity through functional encounters based on cooperation and trust. Layer II identifies two characteristics of functional encounters – (4) adaptable content and (5) familiar form – that seed ‘sociabililties of emplacement’ through mundane rituals of civility that can satisfy both established residents and newcomers. Layer III extends the conventional definition of functional encounters to include sustaining contact between people: this generates two types of conviviality – (6) ‘inconsequential’ and (7) consequential intimacy – supporting deeper-rooted sociabilities of emplacement that are more resistant to challenge. There are additional findings for conflict and competition that cut across the above and are presented separately. The seven characteristics found in the study combine to replace third-hand stereotypes of what someone will be like based on appearances alone with first-hand knowledge of what someone is like based on shared experience. The compulsion to be the same is thus reduced and urbanity is supported.
Subwavelength Transportation of Light with Atomic Resonances

description: We propose and investigate a new type of optical waveguide made by an array of atoms without involving conventional Bragg scattering or total internal reflection. A finite chain of atoms collectively coupled through their intrinsic resonance supports a propagating mode with minimal radiative loss when the array spacing $a$ is around 0.6$λ_0/2π$ where $λ_0$ is the wavelength of the nearly resonant optical transition. We find that the transportation is robust with respect to position fluctuation and remains possible when the atoms are placed on a circle. Our result paves the way to implement the subwavelength transportation of light in integrated optical circuits with cold atoms.

The Impact of the Trade Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights Agreement (TRIPS Agreement) on the Realization of the Right to Food.

description: Abstract


The incorporation of a strong intellectual property regime under the Trade
Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights Agreement (TRIPS Agreement)
and the consequences of its implementations mostly for developing countries
has become an issue of much concern. The implementations of the agreement
can have serious repercussions on the realization of some human rights. The
purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of the TRIPS Agreement on the
human right to food. The obligation of states under international human rights
law concerning the right to food is discussed in the first section of this paper.
This is followed by comprehensive analysis of the TRIPS Agreement as
affecting the right to food. In this paper it is argued that the policy space
necessary for many developing countries to undertake obligations related to
the right to food in international human rights law is limited by intellectual
property rights embodied under the TRIPS Agreement. Finally, the paper
proposes bringing the TRIPS Agreement in conformity with the obligations of
countries in international human rights law concerning the right to food.

description: The analysis of electromagnetic scattering has long been performed on a discrete representation of the geometry. This representation is typically continuous but {\em not} differentiable. The need to define physical quantities on this geometric representation has led to development of sets of basis functions that need to satisfy constraints at the boundaries of the elements/tesselations (viz., continuity of normal or tangential components across element boundaries). For electromagnetics, these result in either curl/div-conforming basis sets. The geometric representation used for analysis is in stark contrast with that used for design, wherein the surface representation is higher order differentiable. Using this representation for {\em both} geometry and physics on geometry has several advantages, and is eludicated in Hughes et al., Isogeometric analysis: CAD, finite elements, NURBS, exact geometry and mesh refinement, Computer Methods in Applied Mechanics and Engineering 194 (39-41) (2005). Until now, a bulk of the literature on isogeometric methods have been limited to solid mechanics, with some effort to create NURBS based basis functions for electromagnetic analysis. In this paper, we present the first complete isogeometry solution methodology for the electric field integral equation as applied to simply connected structures. This paper systematically proceeds through surface representation using subdivision, definition of vector basis functions on this surface, to fidelity in the solution of integral equations. We also present techniques to stabilize the solution at low frequencies, and impose a Calderón preconditioner. Several results presented serve to validate the proposed approach as well as demonstrate some of its capabilities.
