description: Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography (OCTA) is a promising tool for detecting Alzheimer's disease (AD) by imaging the retinal microvasculature. Ophthalmologists commonly use region-based analysis, such as the ETDRS grid, to study OCTA image biomarkers and understand the correlation with AD. However, existing studies have used general deep computer vision methods, which present challenges in providing interpretable results and leveraging clinical prior knowledge. To address these challenges, we propose a novel deep-learning framework called Polar-Net. Our approach involves mapping OCTA images from Cartesian coordinates to polar coordinates, which allows for the use of approximate sector convolution and enables the implementation of the ETDRS grid-based regional analysis method commonly used in clinical practice. Furthermore, Polar-Net incorporates clinical prior information of each sector region into the training process, which further enhances its performance. Additionally, our framework adapts to acquire the importance of the corresponding retinal region, which helps researchers and clinicians understand the model's decision-making process in detecting AD and assess its conformity to clinical observations. Through evaluations on private and public datasets, we have demonstrated that Polar-Net outperforms existing state-of-the-art methods and provides more valuable pathological evidence for the association between retinal vascular changes and AD. In addition, we also show that the two innovative modules introduced in our framework have a significant impact on improving overall performance.

Subjects: Transportation, logistics and supply chains not elsewhere classified

description: The focus of this thesis is to examine the use of techniques of risk management employed by companies in Central Queensland's mining manufacturing supply chain. This is a rapidly growing industry sector supporting one of Queensland's major export industries. The specific objective of this research is to examine how companies in the supply chain employ techniques to identify, assess, and manage supply risks. The research methodology entailed the use of in-depth interviews of companies in Rockhampton, Mackay and Yeppoon in Central Queensland. This method has been selected because of limited empirical data relating to supply chain issues in this field. Quantitative questions have been incorporated into an interview questionnaire to gain more information in the limited time available. A total of 21 interviews were conducted, and methods of qualitative description and descriptive statistics have been used to analyse the subsequent data. The results show that Supply Unavailable, Supply Price Increase, and Unpredictable Lead Times are three main sources of supply risks perceived by respondents. For risk identification and assessment, specific techniques have been adopted widely, especially Communication with Suppliers. For risk mitigation, Alternative Suppliers when Supply Interrupted is perceived as the most important technique to reduce the impact of risk occurrence, while Close Working Relationship with Suppliers and Localised Sourcing are broadly used as the techniques to reduce the likelihood of risk occurrence. However, traditional buffer-oriented techniques, such as Multiple Sourcing, and Increased Stockpiling and Buffer Inventory, are not as popular in this industry as would be expected from published literature.

We introduce the two-sided ideals, two-sided division algorithm for elements of $KQ$ and study the two-sided Gröbner bases. We show that with the defined two-sided division algorithm and two-sided Buchberger's algorithm, we can find a finite or an infinite Gröbner basis for a two-sided ideal $I \subseteq KQ$ given a fixed admissible ordering.

Subjects: Numerical and computational mathematics not elsewhere classified

description: Modelling is an essential step towards a solution to complex system problems. Traditional mathematical methods are inadequate in describing the complex systems when the complexity increases. Fuzzy logic has provided an alternative way in dealing with complexity in real world. This thesis looks at a practical approach for complex system modelling using fuzzy logic. This approach is usually called fuzzy modelling. The main aim of this thesis is to explore the capabilities of fuzzy logic in complex system modelling using available data. The fuzzy model concerned is the Sugeno-Takage-Kang model (TSK model). A genetic algorithm based learning algorithm (GABL) is proposed for fuzzy modelling. It basically contains four blocks, namely the partition, GA, tuning and termination blocks. The functioning of each block is described and the proposed algorithm is tested using a number of examples from different applications such as function approximation and processing control.

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Teachers are an essential resource for intervening against instances of student bullying in schools. Therefore, identifying characteristics that predict teachers’ responses towards bullying is important for teacher development and training. The central aim of this thesis was to empirically address this important issue by examining the role of teachers’ emotional intelligence (EI) in predicting their responses to instances of overt and covert bullying. To address this aim, one study comprising a sample of 356 practising teachers in Australia was conducted. Teachers completed a self-report measure of EI and then responded to eight vignettes describing physical, verbal, relational, and cyber bullying in schools. For each bullying vignette, teachers rated it along dimensions of perceived seriousness, empathy, self-efficacy, and likelihood to intervene. The results demonstrated that teachers were least likely to intervene in instances of relational bullying, most likely to intervene in instances of physical bullying, and verbal and cyber bullying were rated somewhere in between. Ratings of perceived seriousness, empathy, and self-efficacy were significant predictors of teachers’ likelihood to intervene in all four bullying subtypes. Moreover, teachers’ EI, in particular their ability to understand the emotions of others, significantly predicted their likelihood to intervene in all four bullying subtypes. Ratings of perceived seriousness, empathy, and self-efficacy significantly mediated the relationship between teachers’ other-focused dimension of EI and their likelihood to intervene. These findings contribute to the growing research on emotional competencies in schools, but are the first to demonstrate their value in shaping teachers’ responses towards bullying.

description: We report a careful finite size scaling study of the metal insulator transition in Anderson's model of localisation. We focus on the estimation of the critical exponent $ν$ that describes the divergence of the localisation length. We verify the universality of this critical exponent for three different distributions of the random potential: box, normal and Cauchy. Our results for the critical exponent are consistent with the measured values obtained in experiments on the dynamical localisation transition in the quantum kicked rotor realised in a cold atomic gas.

description: In his 1676 text De Quadratura Arithmetica, Leibniz distinguished infinita terminata from infinita interminata. The text also deals with the notion, originating with Desargues, of the perspective point of intersection at infinite distance for parallel lines. We examine contrasting interpretations of these notions in the context of Leibniz's analysis of asymptotes for logarithmic curves and hyperbolas. We point out difficulties that arise due to conflating these notions of infinity. As noted by Rodriguez Hurtado et al., a significant difference exists between the Cartesian model of magnitudes and Leibniz's search for a qualitative model for studying perspective, including ideal points at infinity. We show how respecting the distinction between these notions enables a consistent interpretation thereof.

description: We present a formal model of human decision-making in explore-exploit tasks using the context of multi-armed bandit problems, where the decision-maker must choose among multiple options with uncertain rewards. We address the standard multi-armed bandit problem, the multi-armed bandit problem with transition costs, and the multi-armed bandit problem on graphs. We focus on the case of Gaussian rewards in a setting where the decision-maker uses Bayesian inference to estimate the reward values. We model the decision-maker's prior knowledge with the Bayesian prior on the mean reward. We develop the upper credible limit (UCL) algorithm for the standard multi-armed bandit problem and show that this deterministic algorithm achieves logarithmic cumulative expected regret, which is optimal performance for uninformative priors. We show how good priors and good assumptions on the correlation structure among arms can greatly enhance decision-making performance, even over short time horizons. We extend to the stochastic UCL algorithm and draw several connections to human decision-making behavior. We present empirical data from human experiments and show that human performance is efficiently captured by the stochastic UCL algorithm with appropriate parameters. For the multi-armed bandit problem with transition costs and the multi-armed bandit problem on graphs, we generalize the UCL algorithm to the block UCL algorithm and the graphical block UCL algorithm, respectively. We show that these algorithms also achieve logarithmic cumulative expected regret and require a sub-logarithmic expected number of transitions among arms. We further illustrate the performance of these algorithms with numerical examples.

Subjects: North American history

description: This study charts the real-world impact of Superman and how embedded the superhero is within American culture. Since debuting in 1938 as the first superhero, kids embraced Superman as a heroic symbol to emulate while adults mainly used him as comedic fodder to discuss race and ethnicity, gender, and sexuality. Although Superman is a fictional character, he maintains traceable documentary footprints and should be treated as a historical figure. Through sincere and satirical play, the public brought the Man of Steel and his make-believe world to life as an immersive realm and metatopography. This project studies the reception and adaptation of Superman by the populace and the geography of Comicland, a surreal realm mirroring our own modern reality that exists both within the imagination and the material world through pageant, masquerade, and multimedia. The beauty of this fictive universe is its mutability, being a permanent yet intangible place that imprinted itself in the real world. Comics fans do not have to travel to a theme park, even though it is now part of that type of entertainment, to participate in the fantasy. Comicland is, thus, a mental and physical landscape that audiences can inhabit as their own regardless of location and serves as a portal between fantasy and reality. From Superman’s inception, critics dismissed the superhero as a fad and its culture as marginal. However, multigenerational and multidecade engagement with Superman shows that the genre is mainstream and an unfading facet of Americana.

description: Named Entity Recognition (NER) is a fundamental task in NLP that is used to locate the key information in text and is primarily applied in conversational and search systems. In commercial applications, NER or comparable slot-filling methods have been widely deployed for popular languages. NER is used in applications such as human resources, customer service, search engines, content classification, and academia. In this paper, we draw focus on identifying name entities for low-resource Indian languages that are closely related, like Hindi and Marathi. We use various adaptations of BERT such as baseBERT, AlBERT, and RoBERTa to train a supervised NER model. We also compare multilingual models with monolingual models and establish a baseline. In this work, we show the assisting capabilities of the Hindi and Marathi languages for the NER task. We show that models trained using multiple languages perform better than a single language. However, we also observe that blind mixing of all datasets doesn't necessarily provide improvements and data selection methods may be required.

description: We study relations among characteristic classes of smooth manifold bundles with highly-connected fibers. For bundles with fiber the connected sum of $g$ copies of a product of spheres $S^d \times S^d$ and an odd $d$, we find numerous algebraic relations among the so-called "generalized Miller-Morita-Mumford classes". For all $g > 1$, we show that these infinitely many classes are algebraically generated by a finite subset. Our results contrast with the fact that there are no algebraic relations among these classes in a range of cohomological degrees that grows linearly with $g$, according to recent homological stability results. In the case of surface bundles ($d=1$), our approach recovers some previously known results about the structure of the classical "tautological ring", as introduced by Mumford, using only the tools of algebraic topology.

description: Head orientation is a challenging Computer Vision problem that has been extensively researched having a wide variety of applications. However, current state-of-the-art systems still underperform in the presence of occlusions and are unreliable for many task applications in such scenarios. This work proposes a novel deep learning approach for the problem of head pose estimation under occlusions. The strategy is based on latent space regression as a fundamental key to better structure the problem for occluded scenarios. Our model surpasses several state-of-the-art methodologies for occluded HPE, and achieves similar accuracy for non-occluded scenarios. We demonstrate the usefulness of the proposed approach with: (i) two synthetically occluded versions of the BIWI and AFLW2000 datasets, (ii) real-life occlusions of the Pandora dataset, and (iii) a real-life application to human-robot interaction scenarios where face occlusions often occur. Specifically, the autonomous feeding from a robotic arm.

description: We study the broken ray transform on $n$-dimensional Euclidean domains where the reflecting parts of the boundary are flat and establish injectivity and stability under certain conditions. Given a subset $E$ of the boundary $\partial Ω$ such that $\partial Ω\setminus E$ is itself flat (contained in a union of hyperplanes), we measure the attenuation of all broken rays starting and ending at $E$ with the standard optical reflection rule applied to $\partial Ω\setminus E$. By localizing the measurement operator around broken rays which reflect off a fixed sequence of flat hyperplanes, we can apply the analytic microlocal approach of Frigyik, Stefanov, and Uhlmann for the ordinary ray transform by means of a local path unfolding. This generalizes the author's previous result for the square, although we can no longer treat reflections from corner points. Similar to the result for the two dimensional square, we show that the normal operator is a classical pseudo differential operator of order -1 plus a smoothing term with $C_{0}^{\infty}$ Schwartz kernel.

description: The maximum rate at which classical information can be reliably transmitted per use of a quantum channel strictly increases in general with $N$, the number of channel outputs that are detected jointly by the quantum joint-detection receiver (JDR). This phenomenon is known as superadditivity of the maximum achievable information rate over a quantum channel. We study this phenomenon for a pure-state classical-quantum (cq) channel and provide a lower bound on $C_N/N$, the maximum information rate when the JDR is restricted to making joint measurements over no more than $N$ quantum channel outputs, while allowing arbitrary classical error correction. We also show the appearance of a superadditivity phenomenon---of mathematical resemblance to the aforesaid problem---in the channel capacity of a classical discrete memoryless channel (DMC) when a concatenated coding scheme is employed, and the inner decoder is forced to make hard decisions on $N$-length inner codewords. Using this correspondence, we develop a unifying framework for the above two notions of superadditivity, and show that for our lower bound to $C_N/N$ to be equal to a given fraction of the asymptotic capacity $C$ of the respective channel, $N$ must be proportional to $V/C^2$, where $V$ is the respective channel dispersion quantity.

description: In this paper I review the problematic relationship between science and philosophy; in particular, I will address the question of whether science needs philosophy, and I will offer some positive perspectives that should be helpful in developing a synergetic relationship between the two. I will review three lines of reasoning often employed in arguing that philosophy is useless for science: a) philosophy's death diagnosis ('philosophy is dead'); b) the historic-agnostic argument/challenge "show me examples where philosophy has been useful for science, for I don't know of any"; c) the division of property argument (or: philosophy and science have different subject matters, therefore philosophy is useless for science). These arguments will be countered with three contentions to the effect that the natural sciences need philosophy. I will: a) point to the fallacy of anti-philosophicalism (or: 'in order to deny the need for philosophy, one must do philosophy') and examine the role of paradigms and presuppositions (or: why science can't live without philosophy); b) point out why the historical argument fails (in an example from quantum mechanics, alive and kicking); c) briefly sketch some domains of intersection of science and philosophy and how the two can have mutual synergy. I will conclude with some implications of this synergetic relationship between science and philosophy for the liberal arts and sciences.

Die fiskalischen Kosten der Minijobs
Creators: name: Peters, Tobias
Publisher: name: Universität Bremen
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Minijob
subject: 300

description: Die geringfügig entlohnte Beschäftigung, meist als „Minijob“ bezeichnet, ist ein Phänomen: Obwohl ständig in der Kritik ist die Bedeutung dieser Beschäftigungsform seit Inkrafttreten der letzten einschneidenden Reform 2003 kontinuierlich gestiegen und mittlerweile auf dem deutschen Arbeitsmarkt zweifellos etabliert. Deutlich über 7 Millionen Menschen und damit fast jeder fünfte abhängig Beschäftigte ist „MinijobberIn“. Der Anteil derjenigen, die zusätzlich zu einer regulären Beschäftigung einen Minijob in Nebentätigkeit ausüben, steigt. Prägendes Charakteristikum des Minijobs ist die gewährte Befreiung von der Sozialversicherungspflicht. Auch steuerlich werden Minijobs bevorteilt. Dies scheint aus Arbeitnehmersicht zunächst einmal attraktiv. Bei genaueren Analysen zeigt sich aber, dass es oftmals die ArbeitgeberInnen sind, die vom Sonderstatus profitieren. Viele MinijobberInnen hätten hingegen auch ohne steuerliche Sonderbehandlung keine Einkommensteuer zu zahlen. Allerdings stellen die MinijobberInnen eine inhomogene Gruppe dar – insbesondere bezüglich der Haushaltseinkommen. Profiteure der weitestgehenden Steuerbefreiung sind vor allem Haushalte mit höheren Einkommen. Die aktuelle Regelung subventioniert so kaum die intendierte Gruppe, wohingegen die steuerlichen Einnahmeausfälle, denen sich das vorliegende Papier widmet, die Allgemeinheit trägt. Generell werden die Kosten der Minijobs sozialisiert und in die Zukunft verlagert. Die erhoffte „Brückenfunktion“ in sozialversicherungspflichtige Beschäftigung wird zudem unzureichend erfüllt. Häufig erweist sich der Minijob im Lebenslauf gar als Sackgasse. Die Klebeeffekte sind enorm, die Aufstiegschancen gering. Ein Verharren im Minijob birgt jedoch Risiken: So sind Minijobs alleine aufgrund ihrer Einkommensgrenze inhärent nicht existenzsichernd. Zudem ist der fehlende individuelle Zugang zu den Sozialversicherungen regulatives Merkmal. Wie der prekäre Pfad der Minijobs zugunsten eines für beide Geschlechter sozial- und existenzsichernden Erwerbssystems verlassen werden könnte, muss somit erneut diskutiert werden.

description: We have completed our observational program to search for wide binary systems with non-coeval components in the southern sky and report our results here. The final set of four systems was spectroscopically investigated in this paper. No binary systems with components of different ages were found among them. Taking into account our previous studies, we estimate the fraction of such binaries (i.e., binaries formed, presumably, by capture) not higher than 0.06~\%. The study will be continued on the northern sky.

ESSAYS ON ECONOMIC MODELLING OF CLIMATE CHANGE IMPACTS AND ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES
Creators: name: DELLAROLE, ANNA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2016

description: Climate change is a multi-facetted and complex phenomenon. An interdisciplinary approach is required to understand and to quantify its economic effects. Since climate change is already happening, and some impacts are inevitable throughout this century and beyond, aggressive mitigation policies are not any longer sufficient. In fact, they can only slow down the process of climate change without stopping it. In this context, adaptation policies become mandatory to reduce the vulnerability of countries or of specific areas. However, because of the complexity of the phenomenon, few models are able to analyze the effects of adaptive strategies. The aim of this paper is to review the literature on modelling climate change impacts and adaptation policies, by focusing on the top-down approach. We select some relevant models and compare the different strategies applied to deal with climate change and adaptation. The final purpose of this paper is to highlight limits of this approach and to identify potential improvements.
An interesting $q$-series related to the 4-th symmetrized rank function

description: This paper presents the methods to utilizing the $s$-fold extension of Bailey's lemma to obtain $spt$-type functions related to the symmetrized rank function $η_{2k}(n).$ We provide the $k=2$ example, but clearly illustrate how deep connections between higher-order spt functions exist for any integer $k>1,$ and provide several directions for possible research. In particular, we present why the function $spt_M^{*}(n),$ the total number of appearances of the smallest parts of partitions where parts greater than the smallest plus $M$ do not occur, is an $spt$ function that appears to have central importance.

Contribution à l'Optimisation d'un Comportement Collectif pour un Groupe de Robots Autonomes

description: This thesis studies the domain of collective robotics, and more particularly the optimization problems of multirobot systems in the context of exploration, path planning and coordination. It includes two contributions. The first one is the use of the Butterfly Optimization Algorithm (BOA) to solve the Unknown Area Exploration problem with energy constraints in dynamic environments. This algorithm was never used for solving robotics problems before, as far as we know. We proposed a new version of this algorithm called xBOA based on the crossover operator to improve the diversity of the candidate solutions and speed up the convergence of the algorithm. The second contribution is the development of a new simulation framework for benchmarking dynamic incremental problems in robotics such as exploration tasks. The framework is made in such a manner to be generic to quickly compare different metaheuristics with minimum modifications, and to adapt easily to single and multi-robot scenarios. Also, it provides researchers with tools to automate their experiments and generate visuals, which will allow them to focus on more important tasks such as modeling new algorithms. We conducted a series of experiments that showed promising results and allowed us to validate our approach and model.
