description: Northeast Brazil is a region with great international tourist potential. Among the states that make up this region, Paraíba stands out due to the presence of vulnerable groups and factors that contribute to adverse outcomes of COVID-19. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the epidemiological data on the incidence, mortality, and case fatality of COVID-19 in Paraíba. An ecological, population-based study was performed, with data extracted from the Brazilian Ministry of Health database. All cases and deaths from COVID-19 from March 2020 to December 2022 were included. The time series was built by applying the Prais–Winsten regression model, and the daily percent change was calculated to analyze the trends. The highest case fatality of the entire period was in April 2020 (7.8%), but in March 2021, the state broke the dismal record of 1248 deaths and the highest mortality rate (30.5 deaths per 100,000 inhabitants). Stationary mortality and case fatality were better in 2022; however, in February 2022, the mortality rate was at levels similar to the same month of the previous year. These results illustrate that COVID-19 is evolving and needs to be constantly monitored.

description: Сформулирована постановка задачи совместной обработки результатов радиомониторинга, полученных от разнотипных средств, в рамках теории статистической радиотехники. Предложен способ совместной обработки, основанный на учете статистических характеристик измеренных параметров при решении задачи совместного отождествления результатов радиомониторинга по принадлежности к одному и тому же источнику радиоизлучения и вычислении вектора результирующей оценки.
Показано, что решающее правило отождествления предполагает принятие решения о справедливой гипотезе и основано на вычислении расстояний Махаланобиса между измеренными и результирующими векторными параметрами.
Отмечено, что свойства и закономерности разработанного способа совместной обработки результатов радиомониторинга в частных случаях соответствуют известным подходам (в том числе подходам эвристического характера) к решению данной задачи, что характеризует преемственность полученных результатов с известными ранее с их обобщением на случай обработки в рамках теории статистической радиотехники результатов радиомониторинга, полученных от произвольного числа разнотипных средств.
title: On the Application of PSpice for Localised Cloud Security
Creators: name: Tobin, Paul
Publisher: name: Technological University of Dublin
Year: 2018

description: The work reported in this thesis commenced with a review of methods for creating random binary sequences for encoding data locally by the client before storing in the Cloud. The first method reviewed investigated evolutionary computing software which generated noise-producing functions from natural noise, a highly-speculative novel idea since noise is stochastic. Nevertheless, a function was created which generated noise to seed chaos oscillators which produced random binary sequences and this research led to a circuit-based one-time pad key chaos encoder for encrypting data. Circuit-based delay chaos oscillators, initialised with sampled electronic noise, were simulated in a linear circuit simulator called PSpice. Many simulation problems were encountered because of the nonlinear nature of chaos but were solved by creating new simulation parts, tools and simulation paradigms. Simulation data from a range of chaos sources was exported and analysed using Lyapunov analysis and identified two sources which produced one-time pad sequences with maximum entropy. This led to an encoding system which generated unlimited, infinitely-long period, unique random one-time pad encryption keys for plaintext data length matching. The keys were studied for maximum entropy and passed a suite of stringent internationally-accepted statistical tests for randomness. A prototype containing two delay chaos sources initialised by electronic noise was produced on a double-sided printed circuit board and produced more than 200 Mbits of OTPs. According to Vladimir Kotelnikov in 1941 and Claude Shannon in 1945, one-time pad sequences are theoretically-perfect and unbreakable, provided specific rules are adhered to. Two other techniques for generating random binary sequences were researched; a new circuit element, memristance was incorporated in a Chua chaos oscillator, and a fractional-order Lorenz chaos system with order less than three. Quantum computing will present many problems to cryptographic system security when existing systems are upgraded in the near future. The only existing encoding system that will resist cryptanalysis by this system is the unconditionally-secure one-time pad encryption.

description: We extend Multichannel Quantum Defect Theory (MQDT) to ultracold collisions involving high partial wave quantum numbers $L$. This requires a careful standardization of the MQDT reference wave functions at long range to ensure their linear independence. To illustrate the simplicity and accuracy of the resulting theory, we perform a comprehensive calculation of $L\le 2$ Fano-Feshbach resonances in the range 0-1000 G for the scattering of $^{40}$K + $^{87}$Rb in their lowest hyperfine states.

description: We present MoRig, a method that automatically rigs character meshes driven by single-view point cloud streams capturing the motion of performing characters. Our method is also able to animate the 3D meshes according to the captured point cloud motion. MoRig's neural network encodes motion cues from the point clouds into features that are informative about the articulated parts of the performing character. These motion-aware features guide the inference of an appropriate skeletal rig for the input mesh, which is then animated based on the point cloud motion. Our method can rig and animate diverse characters, including humanoids, quadrupeds, and toys with varying articulation. It accounts for occluded regions in the point clouds and mismatches in the part proportions between the input mesh and captured character. Compared to other rigging approaches that ignore motion cues, MoRig produces more accurate rigs, well-suited for re-targeting motion from captured characters.

description: 1. Ponometia candefacta (Hübner), Olive-shaded Bird-dropping Moth
(Figs. 3–4, Map 2)
 Identification: Forewing length 9.0–10.5 mm. Ponometia candefacta has a white forewing with a brown, fused medial and postmedial lines, and a prominent round, gray reniform spot that is outlined in white. There can be some faint yellow scales proximal to the reniform spot between the brown costal spot and brown band. The orbicular spot is a tiny black dot. The prominent reniform spot distinguishes it from P. erastrioides (Guenée). Ponometia candefacta and P. erastrioides ( Guenée ) are considered to be congeneric with Ponometia Herrich-Schäffer 1868 (Poole and Lafontaine 2010).

description: Solid-state quantum emitters, such as artificially engineered quantum dots or naturally occurring defects in solids, are being investigated for applications ranging from quantum information science and optoelectronics to biomedical imaging. Recently, these same systems have also been studied from the perspective of nanoscale metrology. In this letter we study the near-field optical properties of a diamond nanocrystal hosting a single nitrogen vacancy center. We find that the nitrogen vacancy center is a sensitive probe of the surrounding electromagnetic mode structure. We exploit this sensitivity to demonstrate nanoscale fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) with a single nitrogen vacancy center by imaging the local density of states of an optical antenna.

description: We present the data of the Plateau de Bure Arcsecond Whirlpool Survey (PAWS), a high spatial and spectral resolution 12CO(1-0) line survey of the inner 10 x 6 kpc of the M51 system, and the first wide-field imaging of molecular gas in a star-forming spiral galaxy with resolution matched to the typical size of Giant Molecular Clouds (40 pc). We describe the observation, reduction, and combination of the Plateau de Bure Interferometer (PdBI) and IRAM-30m "short spacing" data. The final data cube attains 1.1"-resolution over the 270" x 170" field of view, with sensitivity to all spatial scales from the combination of PdBI and IRAM-30m data, and brightness sensitivity of 0.4 K (1 sigma) in each 5 km/s-wide channel map. We find a CO-luminosity of 9.10^8 K km/s pc^2, corresponding to a molecular gas mass of 4.10^9 Msol for a standard CO-to-H2 conversion factor. Unexpectedly, we find that a large fraction, (50 +/- 10)%, of this emission arises mostly from spatial scales larger than 36" or about 1.3 kpc. Through a series of tests, we demonstrate that this extended emission does not result from a processing artifact. We discuss its origin in light of the stellar component, the 12CO/13CO ratio, and the difference between the kinematics and structure of the PdBI-only and hybrid synthesis (PdBI + IRAM-30m) images. The extended emission is consistent with a thick, diffuse disk of molecular gas with a typical scale height of about 200 pc, substructured in unresolved filaments which fills about 0.1% of the volume.

This homology was initially suspected to be torsion-free, but we show in this paper that the one-term homology of a finite spindle can have torsion. We carefully analyze spindles of block decomposition of type (n,1) and introduce various techniques to compute their homology precisely. In addition, we show that any finite group can appear as the torsion subgroup of the first homology of some finite spindle. Finally, we show that if a shelf satisfies a certain, rather general, condition then the one-term homology is trivial.

description: A stack of titanium foils was irradiated with 136 MeV 136Xe to study microstructure damage and phase stability of titanium upon irradiation. X- ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy/energy dispersive spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy were used to study the resulting microstructure damage and phase stability of titanium. We observed the phase transfor- mation of polycrystalline titanium from alpha-Ti (hexagonally closed packed (hcp)) to face centered cubic (fcc) after irradiation with 2.2 x 1015 ions/cm2. Irradiation of Ti with 1.8 x 1014-2.2 x 1015 ions/cm2 resulted in the forma- tion of voids, hillocks, dislocation loops, dislocation lines, as well as polygonal ridge networks.

description: In recent work it is shown that importance sampling can be avoided in the particle filter through an innovation structure inspired by traditional nonlinear filtering combined with Mean-Field Game formalisms. The resulting feedback particle filter (FPF) offers significant variance improvements; in particular, the algorithm can be applied to systems that are not stable. The filter comes with an up-front computational cost to obtain the filter gain. This paper describes new representations and algorithms to compute the gain in the general multivariable setting. The main contributions are, (i) Theory surrounding the FPF is improved: Consistency is established in the multivariate setting, as well as well-posedness of the associated PDE to obtain the filter gain. (ii) The gain can be expressed as the gradient of a function, which is precisely the solution to Poisson's equation for a related MCMC diffusion (the Smoluchowski equation). This provides a bridge to MCMC as well as to approximate optimal filtering approaches such as TD-learning, which can in turn be used to approximate the gain. (iii) Motivated by a weak formulation of Poisson's equation, a Galerkin finite-element algorithm is proposed for approximation of the gain. Its performance is illustrated in numerical experiments.

description: We study the dynamical behaviour of the quantum cellular automaton of Refs. [1, 2], which reproduces the Dirac dynamics in the limit of small wavevectors and masses. We present analytical evaluations along with computer simulations, showing how the automaton exhibits typical Dirac dynamical features, as the Zitterbewegung and the scattering behaviour from potential that gives rise to the so-called Klein paradox. The motivation is to show concretely how pure processing of quantum information can lead to particle mechanics as an emergent feature, an issue that has been the focus of solid-state, optical and atomic-physics quantum simulator.

title: eAssessment in engineering mathematics: gaps in perceptions of students and academics
Creators: name: Brown, Kenneth Michael
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2023

description: This research investigated the perceptions held by first-year undergraduate engineering students and academics regarding the assessment of mathematics in online environments. The study was motivated by hearing students’ voices, in a moment of serendipity, and realizing that academics do not always hear those voices when teaching in online environments. Currently, there is no literature providing an insight to engineering students’ perceptions of eAssessment in Irish institutes of technology. The research considered students’ perceptions of self-efficacy, expectancy, motivation, and barriers to learning in parallel with those held by academics towards their students. The aim was to develop an understanding of students’ perceptions of eAssessment to help address the concerns of academics involved with online assessment of engineering mathematics. The population of interest in this study comprised first and second year undergraduate engineering students and academics from an Irish institute of technology as the principal group, and first year students from its higher education equivalent in six European countries. A convergent mixed methods design, where surveys and interview data were integrated, interpreted, and analysed, was employed. The convergent mixed methods design permitted flexibility in the data gathering stages to accommodate cultural and language differences within the academic and student populations. The findings of the research are presented under three themes: preparation for eAssessment and barriers to eAssessment; expectations, values, reward, and effort; motivational emotions and self-regulation. The three findings provide valuable insights and adds new knowledge to an understanding of the processes in eAssessment for engineering mathematics. Without listening to and hearing students’ voices, it is not possible for academics to gain an understanding of their students’ perceptions, emotions, and motivations. I therefore argue that higher education institutions take cognizance of the need for a meta-dialogue between students and academics to aid an understanding of the processes of eAssessment.

description: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is an age-related neurodegenerative condition clinically defined by progressive memory loss and cognitive impairment. It currently affects over 47 million people worldwide, a figure projected to exceed 131 million by 2050. AD is the leading cause of dementia, accounting for approximately 60–80% of all diagnosed cases. Sporadic Alzheimer’s disease, the most common form, occurs in 10–50% of individuals over the age of 65. Its development is influenced by a wide range of factors, including aging, lifestyle choices (such as diet, exercise, education, and cognitive activity), immune system decline, chronic inflammation, infections (both chronic and latent), vascular dysfunction, and sleep disturbances. Recent findings also suggest a possible link between gut microbiota, ischemic events, and AD pathogenesis.

This collection contains not only Anacreon’s and Sappho’s po-etry, but also translations of anonymous Latin poem “The Vigil of Venus” (“Pervigilium Vener-is”), and twenty one epigrams from the Anthologia Palatina. As in his earlier translations of clas-sical poetry, Vinogradov used as his source a popular French anthology by Julien-Jacques Mou-tonnet de Clairfons (1740–1813), which was published many times in the 18th century.

description: Статья посвящена анализу динамики литературной репутации Кузмина в 1920-е годы, пришедшиеся на его членство в Петроградском отделении Всероссийского Союза поэтов. Союз поэтов, как одна из основных пореволюционных писательских организаций Петрограда, менялась под влиянием политики государства в области литературы и культуры. Как мы пытаемся показать, статус Кузмина в писательском сообществе был напрямую связан с задачами, которые ставили себе основатели Союза: на 1920-21 годы, ознаменованные попыткой возвращения к преемственному развитию литературы, пришелся резкий взлет популярности Кузмина; начиная с 1923 года, когда меняется модель развития литературы, поэт постепенно оттесняется на периферию литературного процесса.

description: The article discusses dynamics of Mikhail Kuzmin’s literary reputation in the 1920th, when he has been a member of the Petrograd branch of the All-Russian Union of Poets. The Union of Poets is one of the main organizations of writers in post-Revilutionary Petrograd. It has been reformed under the state policy in the field of literature and culture. Kuzmin’s reputation in the community of writers is strictly related to the tasks set by the founders of the Union. Kuzmin’s popularity rises in 1920–1921, when the Union has been considering its main goal a return to successive development of literature. Starting from 1923, since the development model for literature has changed, Kuzmin is gradually relegated to the periphery of the literary process.

description: В статье атрибутируется немецкая песня и ее перевод, записанная Хармсом в конце сентября 1925 года в записную книжку. Речь идет о песне «Das haben die Mädchen so gerne» из оперетты Жана Жильбера (Jean Gilbert) 1912 года «Autoliebchen» в переводе поэта, издателя и композитора Б. Л. Андржеевского. Доказывается, что интерес к оперетте возник у Хармса под влиянием Михаила Кузмина, который в 1923–1925 годах часто обращался в своих рецензиях к творчеству Жильбера, а в сентябре 1925 года написал стихотворение «Невидимого шум мотора…», которое отчасти связано с тематикой «любви в автомобиле».
description: The article attributes the German song and its translation, written by Harms at the end of September 1925 in a notebook. This is a song «Das haben die Mädchen so gerne» from the Jean Gilbert operetta «Autoliebchen» (1912) in translation by the poet, publisher and composer B. L. Andrzheevsky. It proves that Kharms got interested in the operetta under the influence of Mikhail Kuzmin, who in 1923–1925 often addressed to Gilbert in his reviews, and in September 1925 wrote the poem «The noise of an invisible motor...», which is partly connected with the topic of «love in the car».

description: We show how to generate labelled and unlabelled outerplanar graphs with $n$ vertices uniformly at random in polynomial time in $n$. To generate labelled outerplanar graphs, we present a counting technique using the decomposition of a graph according to its block structure, and compute the exact number of labelled outerplanar graphs. This allows us to make the correct probabilistic choices in a recursive generation of uniformly distributed outerplanar graphs. Next we modify our formulas to also count rooted unlabelled graphs, and finally show how to use these formulas in a Las Vegas algorithm to generate unlabelled outerplanar graphs uniformly at random in expected polynomial time.

description: Работа представляет собой цикл заметок о литературном наследии П. П. Муратова (1881–1950). В первой из них устанавливается, в полемике с Даниэлой Рицци, исторический источник новеллы «Тираноубийцы» (1923) – гибель миланского герцога Галеаццо Марии Сфорца в 1476 году. Во второй заметке ироническое упоминание Жана Кокто из окончательной редакции новеллы «Посланник» (1928) вписывается в злободневный контекст полемики, вызванной «Письмом Маритену». В третьей реконструируются обстоятельства резкого выпада против Муратова-публициста, который был сделан Львом Кассилем в журнале «За рубежом» (1931): Кассиль выполнил прямой заказ Горького, не особенно задаваясь вопросом, кто такой Муратов.

description: These notes come together to explore the literary heritage of Pavel Muratov (1881–1950). The first one argues against Daniela Rizzi to reveal the historic source of “The Tyrannicides” (1923), a short story, in the circumstances of the murder of Galeazzo Maria Sforza in 1476. The second shows the irony of the final draft of “The Ambassador” (1928), likewise a short story, to spring from the waves Jean Cocteau made in the literary circles by the publication of his “Lettre à Jacques Maritain”. The third sheds new light on the attack of the young Lev Kassil on Muratov on the pages of “Za Rubezhom” (1931). As it was, Kassil, a mere hack, wrote on Gorky’s spur, never bothering to even get to know who Muratov was.

description: Clustering is one of the widely used techniques to find out patterns from a dataset that can be applied in different applications or analyses. K-means, the most popular and simple clustering algorithm, might get trapped into local minima if not properly initialized and the initialization of this algorithm is done randomly. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to improve initial cluster selection for K-means algorithm. This algorithm is based on the fact that the initial centroids must be well separated from each other since the final clusters are separated groups in feature space. The Convex Hull algorithm facilitates the computing of the first two centroids and the remaining ones are selected according to the distance from previously selected centers. To ensure the selection of one center per cluster, we use the nearest neighbor technique. To check the robustness of our proposed algorithm, we consider several real-world datasets. We obtained only 7.33%, 7.90%, and 0% clustering error in Iris, Letter, and Ruspini data respectively which proves better performance than other existing systems. The results indicate that our proposed method outperforms the conventional K means approach by accelerating the computation when the number of clusters is greater than 2.

description: The WFCAM Transit Survey (WTS) is a near-infrared transit survey running on the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT), designed to discover planets around M dwarfs. The WTS acts as a poor-seeing backup programme for the telescope, and represents the first dedicated wide-field near-infrared transit survey. In this paper we describe the observing strategy of the WTS and the processing of the data to generate lightcurves. We describe the basic properties of our photometric data, and measure our sensitivity based on 950 observations. We show that the photometry reaches a precision of ~4mmag for the brightest unsaturated stars in lightcurves spanning almost 3 years. Optical (SDSS griz) and near-infrared (UKIRT ZYJHK) photometry is used to classify the target sample of 4600 M dwarfs with J magnitudes in the range 11-17. Most have spectral-types in the range M0-M2. We conduct Monte Carlo transit injection and detection simulations for short period (<10 day) Jupiter- and Neptune-sized planets to characterize the sensitivity of the survey. We investigate the recovery rate as a function of period and magnitude for 4 hypothetical star-planet cases: M0-2+Jupiter, M2-4+Jupiter, M0-2+Neptune, M2-4+Neptune. We find that the WTS lightcurves are very sensitive to the presence of Jupiter-sized short-period transiting planets around M dwarfs. Hot Neptunes produce a much weaker signal and suffer a correspondingly smaller recovery fraction. Neptunes can only be reliably recovered with the correct period around the rather small sample (~100) of the latest M dwarfs (M4-M9) in the WTS. The non-detection of a hot-Jupiter around an M dwarf by the WFCAM Transit Survey allows us to place an upper limit of 1.7-2.0 per cent (at 95 per cent confidence) on the planet occurrence rate.

description: A Framework for K-12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Core Ideas gives the concept of field energy a prominent role in the physical sciences sections of its recommendations for K-12 science education. I examine what A Framework suggests for the role of field energy and point out that, given the ambiguities and complexities associated with field energy, a traditional approach focusing on potential (configuration) energy is more appropriate for introductory physics in secondary schools, colleges, and universities.
Eruption, erosion and post-volcanic marine faunal colonization, the Red Bluff Tuff Formation, Chatham Islands, New Zealand

description: This thesis reports for the first time phreatomagmatic deposits and preserved Surtseyan tuff cones from the Chatham Islands, New Zealand. This research located the relicts of at least six, closely-spaced, Paleogene Surtseyan cones and associated bioclastic sediments within the Red Bluff Tuff Formation (RBT). The complete stratigraphic section was studied in detail by means of fieldwork (sampling, logging, sketching and recording main structural and textural features) as well as comprehensive laboratory work (marine faunal taxonomy, grain-size, componentry and vesicularity analyses). It was found that RBT consists of two parts: 1) the lower part represents volcanic aggradational processes that constructed tuff cones in a short period of time (years) and is composed of a bedded interval of explosively fragmented, vesicular glassy basaltic pyroclasts (ash and lapilli sizes) as well as feeder-dykes, pillow-lavas and pillow-sills and 2) the upper part represents the rapid denudation of these cones by shallow marine currents or gravity-flows reflecting the instability of the tephra-pile forming the cones, and a much later complete marine faunal colonization stage (e.g. corals, brachiopods, molluscs). Erosion could have occurred almost immediately after (or even during) the emplacement of the volcanic pile, similar to what has occurred at Surtla vent, a satellite submerged cone of the basaltic island volcano Surtsey, Iceland; the Waiareka-Deborah Volcanics Bridge Point, Aorere Point, and Lookout Bluff Surtseyan cones (Otago, New Zealand); and Marion and Prince Edward islands (Southwest Indian Ocean). By contrast, the entire faunal colonization and stabilization of a diverse marine community could have taken hundreds, or perhaps even thousands of years to reach their acme following the volcanic pulses. The structural, textural and compositional characteristics of RBT support a phreatomagmatic mode of fragmentation similar to that at Surtsey Volcano, Iceland. Although RBT represents an extremely interesting, rare, and novel example to study pre-historic submarine volcanism very little research has been done on this volcanic sequence. Because the RBT sequence characterizes one of the most complete marine bioclastic tuff cones described in the geologic record the present study fills a large gap in our knowledge of the eruption and faunal recovery phases of submarine volcanoes.

description: Показано, что при азимутальном пеленговании источников радиоизлучения с помощью многоканальных обнаружителей-пеленгаторов, расположенных на летательных аппаратах, возникают дополнительные ошибки пеленгования, обусловленные ненулевым углом прихода радиоволн относительно плоскости расположения антенных элементов.
Предложен способ азимутального пеленгования, основанный на преобразовании векторной комплексной диаграммы направленности антенной системы из подвижной системы координат в земную с использованием навигационной информации об уг-лах ориентации летательного аппарата в пространстве.
Отмечено, что способ позволяет повысить точность и достоверность азимутального пеленгования наземных источников радиоизлучения и справедлив для плоских антенных систем с произвольными конфигурацией и характеристиками направленности антенных элементов в условиях воздействия пространственно-коррелированного гауссовского шума неизвестной интенсивности.
