description: Filter bank multi carrier (FBMC) is considered a competitive waveform candidate for 5G that can replace orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM). However, channel estimation (CE) is a big challenge in FBMC because it suffers from intrinsic interference which is due to the orthogonality of the subcarrier functions in the real field only. In this paper, we investigate a proposed modified interference approximation scheme (M-IAM) by approximating the intrinsic interference from the neighboring pilots to accommodate the complex channel frequency and thus improving CE performance besides simplifying its processing. The M-IAM scheme has larger pseudo pilot magnitude than other conventional preamble schemes, namely the interference approximation method (IAM) with its versions (IAM-C) and (E-IAM-C); in addition to the novel preamble design (NPS). In addition, the proposed (M-IAM) scheme is characterized by the lower transmitted power needed. The CE performance of the M-IAM is investigated through 512 and 2048 subcarriers via different types of outdoor and indoor multipath fading channels that are time-invariant such as IEEE 802.22, IEEE 802.11, Rician, and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN), as well as time varying channels such as Rayleigh and Vehicular A (Veh-A). Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed M-IAM scheme achieves a lower bit error rate (BER), lower normalized mean square error (NMSE) and lower peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) over the conventional preamble schemes under the aforementioned channel models. The proposed scheme has the advantage of saving the transmitted power, a requirement that could match 5G low power requirements.

description: In this paper we investigate compactifications of the type II and heterotic string on four-dimensional spaces with nongeometric monodromies. We explicitly construct backgrounds which contain the "Duality Twists" discussed by Dabholkar and Hull. Similar constructions of nongeometric backgrounds have been discussed for type II strings by Hellerman, McGreevy, and Williams. We find that imposing such monodromies projects out many moduli from the resulting vacua and argue that these backgrounds are the spacetime realizations of interpolating asymmetric orbifolds.

description: Background: Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM)-1 is a key mediator of innate immunity previously associated with the severity of inflammatory disorders, and more recently, the inferior survival of lung and liver cancer patients. Here, we investigated the prognostic impact and immunological correlates of TREM1 expression in breast tumors. Methods: Breast tumor microarray and RNAseq expression profiles (n=4,364 tumors) were analyzed for associations between gene expression, tumor immune subtypes, distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS) and clinical response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). Single-cell (sc)RNAseq was performed using the 10X Genomics platform. Statistical associations were assessed by logistic regression, Cox regression, Kaplan-Meier analysis, Spearman correlation, Student’s t-test and Chi-square test. Results: In pre-treatment biopsies, TREM1 and known TREM-1 inducible cytokines (IL1B, IL8) were discovered by a statistical ranking procedure as top genes for which high expression was associated with reduced response to NAC, but only in the context of immunologically “hot” tumors otherwise associated with a high NAC response rate. In surgical specimens, TREM1 expression varied among tumor molecular subtypes, with highest expression in the more aggressive subtypes (Basal-like, HER2-E). High TREM1 significantly and reproducibly associated with inferior distant metastasis-free survival (DMFS), independent of conventional prognostic markers. Notably, the association between high TREM1 and inferior DMFS was most prominent in the subset of immunogenic tumors that exhibited the immunologically hot phenotype and otherwise associated with superior DMFS. Further observations from bulk and single-cell RNAseq analyses indicated that TREM1 expression was significantly enriched in polymorphonuclear myeloid-derived suppressor cells (PMN-MDSCs) and M2-like macrophages, and correlated with downstream transcriptional targets of TREM-1 (IL8, IL-1B, IL6, MCP-1, SPP1, IL1RN, INHBA) which have been previously associated with pro-tumorigenic and immunosuppressive functions. Conclusions: Together, these findings indicate that increased TREM1 expression is prognostic of inferior breast cancer outcomes and may contribute to myeloid-mediated breast cancer progression and immune suppression.
title: The Development and Delivery of Appropriate Curricula for Children with Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties.

Publisher: name: The Open University

description: The special school of which I was head for 14 years, developed from functioning as separate, restricted education within an environment in which children could be enabled to come to terms with their emotional and behavioural difficulties, to functioning as an integral part of a continuum of services for children with emotional and behavioural difficulties within a mainstream curriculum model.

 H.M.I. inspections of schools for children with emotional and behavioural difficulties in the 1980's criticised them over the breadth and balance of the curriculum. Many of these schools took this as relating to their style of working and, instead of reviewing the content and methodology of their curricula, developed more formal approaches when they introduced the National Curriculum. There is no specific Government advice over what constitutes good practice in the development and delivery of appropriate curricula.

 Co-operation between mainstream schools and schools for children with emotional and behavioural difficulties seems to have ceased. More children are being excluded from mainstream schools and children from special schools are not being reintegrated.

 The following questions have been investigated:

 • What has traditionally been regarded as effective practice?br>/br> • What are the needs of these children as learners?
 • What is good practice in teaching and learning and is this appropriate to all phases?
 • Is the concept of a "curriculum model" useful?
 • Should there be a new role for special schools, offering a service to mainstream schools and a continuity of provision?

description: The effects of drought can manifest in vegetation across an array of physiological responses and time scales. In metropolitan areas, vegetation provides shading and cooling during hot and dry conditions, but these benefits can be reduced with drought. While many studies have evaluated interannual vegetation drought responses, these responses to drought can be expressed diversely across seasons, especially in cities that regularly experience seasonal drought (e.g., in Mediterranean climates). Here, we evaluated seasonal and interannual drought responses across the dominant types of urban trees and grasses in the Santa Barbara, California, USA metropolitan area, primarily using Landsat imagery acquired from 2010 to 2019 as well as repeat Airborne Visible Infrared Imaging Spectrometer - Classic (AVIRIS-C) imagery acquired 2013–2015. To track vegetation types, we produced a random forest classification from 4 m AVIRIS-Next Generation (AVIRIS-NG) imagery acquired in June 2014 (overall accuracy = 86%; kappa = 0.85), thresholding to >90% pure pixels for most vegetation types in the coarser time series imagery. We monitored drought response from Landsat imagery using the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) and the difference in land surface temperature (ΔLST) between vegetation and developed/impervious surfaces. We used AVIRIS-C to measure equivalent water thickness (EWT), comparing it with NDVI. During drought years, NDVI was lower and ΔLST was closer to zero. Changes in EWT revealed seasonal adjustments by vegetation that were not readily apparent in the NDVI. To show how drought response expression in vegetation can vary by season, drought duration, and urban vegetation type, we examined the correlations of both NDVI and ΔLST to the Standardized Precipitation Evapotranspiration Index (SPEI) calculated over a range of time spans. For most vegetation types, the strongest correlations of NDVI to SPEI and ΔLST to SPEI were during the summer, except for annual grass and turfgrass NDVI, which had the strongest correlations in the winter. In general, NDVI and ΔLST for annual grass were most often correlated with SPEI at spans <12 months, particularly for NDVI. By contrast, NDVI and ΔLST for trees and turfgrass were commonly also correlated with SPEI at spans ≥12 months, in addition to seasonal time spans of <12 months. This study demonstrates the benefits of using functionally and seasonally distinctive remote sensing variables (NDVI, ΔLST, and EWT) together to quantify changes in vegetation canopy condition during droughts.

description: Contrary to common belief, as the time since the last earthquake in a certain region increases, the risk of occurrence of another earthquake diminishes. As a consequence, the expected waiting time to the next event increases with the elapsed time, in other words, the event moves away to the future faster than we move. This paradoxical phenomenon is found in regions as diverse (from a tectonic point of view) as California, Japan, New Zealand, Spain or the British Islands, as well as in worldwide scales. This behaviour shows a surprising regularity, since in all the cases it is well described by the same universal scaling functions. This universality suggests the existence of a common simple physical mechanism in the earthquake generation process.

description: Derivative corrections to the Wess--Zumino couplings of open-string effective actions are computed at all orders in derivatives, taking the open-string metric into account. This leads to a set of deformed star-products beyond the Seiberg--Witten limit, and allows to reinterpret the couplings in terms of a deformed integration prescription along a Wilson line in the non-commutative set-up. Moreover, the recursive definition of the star-products induces deformations of U(1) non-commutative Yang--Mills theory.

description: Drawing from the theoretical frameworks of crip theory, stigma theory and intersectionality, I explore lesbian Deaf women’s experiences in the United States from 1945 to 2020. This is a span that includes several civil rights milestones affecting Deaf lesbians. Relevant events, such as, the second wave feminist movement, the publication of the first American Sign Language dictionary, the recognition of ASL as a legitimate language, and the activism of the post-Stonewall riots in 1969, which was a major turning point of the gay rights movement, all served to fuel the resistance by, and resilience of, Deaf lesbians. My research focuses on the lived experiences of lesbian women who are Deaf, how they learned the social norms of their time related to gender, sexuality, language, race, class, and age, as well as their strategic adaptation to, and resistance of, a societally-imposed definition of “normalcy” within any of these stigmatized identities. The questions guiding this research ask how did these women learn about stigmatization and/or marginalization across their lifespans, and how did they adapt to and resist normative, socially-constructed notions of identity as women who are Deaf lesbians? This dissertation presents and analyzes narrative histories from Deaf lesbian women born between 1937 and 1960 in the United States. I argue that Deaf lesbian women’s multidimensional identities are shaped by pivotal incidents and experiences of language, gender, sexuality, religion, race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, political atmosphere, and other, as yet unidentified factors. Specifically, the findings from this group of women demonstrate how various spaces and systems (family space, Deaf space, education, lesbian space, hearing space, women space, employment, and racially minoritized space) informed their notions of normalcy and deviance, and how they negotiated their interactions with others and within different contexts through acts of resistance and acceptance in their everyday lives.
title: Bundle theory for symplectic and contact geometry with applications to Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics
Creators: name: Thompson, Gerard
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1984

description: This work is primarily concerned with various aspects of Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics. These different aspects are related in a somewhat complicated way, which is clarified by the introduction of the unifying concept of a jet bundle. Here, bundles are first considered in some generality and then jet bundles are introduced and their bundle structure investigated especially with a view to formulating Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics invariantly. The second chapter is devoted to a discussion of the two Schouten brackets and it is explained why each is of importance in mechanics. The symmetric Schouten bracket enables the notion of a killing tensor to be defined on a Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian manifold. A theorem is proved which gives an upper bound on the dimension of the space of killing tensors of a fixed rank. In chapter 3 Hamilton-Jacobi theory and a version of Noether's theorem are presented from a m o d e m viewpoint. Then conditions are obtained which entail the existence of a constant of motion which is polynomial in momenta. These conditions are used to construct several classical Hamiltonians with "hidden" symmetries - the usage of the latter term is briefly justified. Most importantly, all systems with two degrees of freedom which have a quadratic integral independent of the Hamiltonian are characterized. In chapter 4 the geometrical properties of TM and the closely related space J1 (IR,M) are investigated. It is shown that J1(IR,M) has an intrinsically defined 1-1 tensor in analogy to TM. The behaviour of these tensors under diffeomorphisms is investigated. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the various notions of symmetry in Lagrangian theory. Chapter 5 begins with a review of symplectic geometry and continues with the definition and examination of contact manifolds in the same spirit as symplectic geometry. In particular, contact diffeomorphisms are described on the space J1(IR,M). Finally, two theorems are given which endeavour to explain the general principle enabling the Lie algebra of a subalgebra of vector fields to be transferred to a collection of forms.

This distribution is not required to be a member of a certain family, and the maximal lead time demand is also allowed to be unknown. The algorithm developed for this purpose is an extension of a standard iterative procedure, which in its original form -in spite of claims to the contrarymight produce solution values that are arbitrarily far away from the optimal one.
title: Building expert systems: cognitive emulation.
Creators: name: Slatter, Philip Edward
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1987

description: Chapter 1 briefly introduces the concept of cognitive emulation, and outlines its current status. Chapter 2 reviews psychological research on human expert thinking. First, the study of expert thinking is placed in the context of modern cognitive psychology. Next, the principal methods and techniques employed by psychologists examining expert cognition are examined. The remainder of the chapter is given over to a review of the published literature on the nature and development of human expertise. Chapter 3 reviews the main arguments for and against cognitive emulation in expert system design. The tentative conclusion reached is that a significant degree of emulation is inevitable, but that a pure, unselective strategy of emulation is neither realistic nor desirable. Chapter 4 examines the prospects for cognitive emulation from a more pragmatic angle. Several factors are identified that represent constraints on the usefulness of a cognitive approach. However, a second set of factors is identified which should facilitate an emulation strategy - especially in the longer term. Some guidance is given on when to seriously consider adopting an emulation strategy. Chapter 5 presents a critical survey of expert system research that has already addressed the emulation issue. Six basic approaches to cognitive emulation are distinguished and evaluated. This helps draw out in more detail the implications of an emulation strategy for knowledge acquisition, knowledge representation and system architecture. The chapter concludes by discussing the issues that arise when different approaches to emulation are combined. Some guidance is offered on how this might be achieved. Chapter 6 summarizes the main themes and issues to have emerged, the design advice contained in the thesis, and the original contributions made by the thesis.

description: This paper is concerned with simultaneous reduction to triangular and companion forms of pairs of matrices A, Z with rank( / — AZ) =1. Special attention is paid to the case where A is a first and Z is a third companion matrix. Two types of simultaneous triangularization problems are considered: ( ) the matrix A is to be transformed to upper triangular and Z to lower triangular form, ( 2) both A and Z are to be transformed to the same (upper) triangular form. The results on companions are made coordinate free by characterizing the pairs A, Z for which there exists an invertible matrix S such that S-1AS is of first and S-1ZS is of third companion type. One of the main theorems reads as follows: If rank(/ — AZ) =1 and saC 1 for every eigenvalue a of A and every eigenvalue of Z, then A and Z admit simultaneous reduction to complementary triangular forms.

description: This paper surveys algorithms for the well-known problem of finding the minimum cost assignment of jobs to agents so that each job is assigned exactly once and agents are not overloaded. All approaches seem to be based on branch and bound with bounds supplied through heuristics and through relaxations of the primal problem formulation. From the survey one can select building blocks for the design of one's own tailor-made algorithm. The survey also reveals that although just about any mathematical programming technique was tried on this problem, there is still a lack of a representative set of test problems on which competing enumeration algorithms can be compared, as well as a shortage of effective heuristics.

description: We propose a posterior odds analysis of the hypothesis of a unit root in real exchange rates. From a Bayesian viewpoint the random walk hypothesis for real exchange rates is a posteriori as probable as a stationary AR(1) process for four out of eight time series investigated. The French franc / German Dmark is clearly stationary, while the Japanese yen / US dollar is most likely a random walk.' In contrast, classical tests are unable to reject the unit root for any of these series.

description: We use multi-frequency information in first year WMAP data to search for the Sunyaev-Zeldovich (SZ) effect. WMAP has sufficiently broad frequency coverage to constrain SZ without the addition of higher frequency data: the SZ power spectrum amplitude is expected to increase 50% from W to Q frequency band. This, in combination with the low noise in WMAP, allows us to strongly constrain the SZ contribution. We derive an optimal frequency combination of WMAP cross-spectra to extract SZ in the presence of noise, CMB, and radio point sources, which are marginalized over. We find that the SZ contribution is less than 2% (95% c.l.) at the first acoustic peak in W band. Under the assumption that the removed radio point sources are not correlated with SZ this limit implies sigma_8<1.07 at 95% c.l. We investigate the effect on the cosmological parameters of allowing an SZ component. We run Monte Carlo Markov Chains with and without an SZ component and find that the addition of SZ does not affect any of the cosmological conclusions. We conclude that SZ does not contaminate the WMAP CMB or change cosmological parameters, refuting the recent claims that they may be corrupted.

description: Background  Acts of violence, primarily gunshot wounds, are the third leading cause of spinal cord injuries (SCIs) in the US. However, little work has been done to understand whether mechanisms of SCI affect rehabilitation experiences.Purpose  To carefully evaluate experiences and perspectives of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with SCIs from gunshot wounds in order to understand possible relationships among cause of injury and experiences in daily life.Methods  Individual and group interviews were used to elicit narratives from life experiences for AYAs with a SCI (n=9) and their caregivers (n=8). This analysis focuses specifically on a subset of these data from participants who were injured by gunshot (n=5) and their caregivers (n=4). Data were analyzed categorically, thematically, and narratively within- and across-cases.Results  For AYAs with SCIs from gunshots, rehabilitation was a type of moral endeavor, complicated by functional abilities and social influences. For some, SCIs were understood to be a chance to start fresh, re- create ones identity, and live a safer or more meaningful life. In other cases, SCIs perpetuated chaos within individual and family experiences.Conclusions  Circumstances leading to SCIs by gunshots had remarkable effects on individual experiences and goals. While further research is warranted, findings indicate rehabilitative care should account for contextual factors, including mechanisms of injury, communities of residence, and availability of support.

description: In the present work we describe the formalism necessary to derive the properties of dark matter halos beyond two virial radius using the spherical collapse model (without shell crossing), and provide the framework for the theoretical prediction presented in Prada et al. (2005). We show in detail how to obtain within this model the probability distribution for the spherically-averaged enclosed density at any radii P(delta,r). Using this probability distribution, we compute the most probable and mean density profiles, which turns out to differ considerably from each other. We also show how to obtain the typical profile, as well as the probability distribution and mean profile for the spherically averaged radial velocity. Two probability distributions are obtained: a first one is derived using a simple assumption, that is, if Q is the virial radius in Lagrangian coordinates, then the enclosed linear contrast delta_l(q,Q) must satisfy the condition that delta_l(q=Q) = delta_vir, where delta_vir is the linear density contrast within the virial radius Rvir at the moment of virialization. Then we introduce an additional constraint to obtain a more accurate P(delta,r) which reproduces to a higher degree of precision the distribution of the spherically averaged enclosed density found in the simulations. This new constraint is delta_l(q,Q) < delta_vir for all q > Q, which means that there are no radii larger than Rvir where the density contrast is larger than that used to define the virial radius. Finally, we compare in detail our theoretical predictions for the probability distributions with the results found in the simulations.

Price's law, mass inflation, and strong cosmic censorship

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: Two aspects of the widely accepted heuristic picture of the final state of gravitational collapse are the so-called Price law tails, describing the asymptotics of the exterior region of the black hole that forms, and Israel-Poisson's mass inflation scenario, describing the internal structure of the black hole. (The latter scenario, if valid, would indicate that the maximal development of initial data is extendible as a C^0 metric, putting into question the validity of Penrose's strong cosmic censorship conjecture.) In this talk, I shall discuss a series of rigorous results proving both Price's law and the mass inflation scenario in an appropriate spherically symmetric setting. The proof of Price's law is joint work with I. Rodnianski.

description: In realistic production scenarios, Advanced Planning and Scheduling (APS) tools often require manual intervention by production planners, as the system works with incomplete information, resulting in suboptimal schedules. Often, the preferable solution is not found just because of the too-restrictive constraints specifying the optimization problem, representing bottlenecks in the schedule. To provide computer-assisted support for decision-making, we aim to automatically identify bottlenecks in the given schedule while linking them to the particular constraints to be relaxed. In this work, we address the problem of reducing the tardiness of a particular project in an obtained schedule in the resource-constrained project scheduling problem by relaxing constraints related to identified bottlenecks. We develop two methods for this purpose. The first method adapts existing approaches from the job shop literature and utilizes them for so-called untargeted relaxations. The second method identifies potential improvements in relaxed versions of the problem and proposes targeted relaxations. Surprisingly, the untargeted relaxations result in improvements comparable to the targeted relaxations.

ORDINAL AND CARDINAL UTILITY: AN INTEGRATION OF THE TWO DIMENSIONS OF THE WELFARE CONCEPT

description: In this paper we distinguish two "dimensions" of the utility concept. The first is the "behavioral" dimension, described by indifference curves in a commodity space. It may be estimated by observing consumer purchase behavior. The second dimension is the "welfare" dimension, i.e., the cardinal utility levels . corresponding to indifference curves. The second dimension may be estimated by means of the income evaluation approach. In this paper we deal with methodological issues and show by means of empirical evidence the validity of the income evaluation approach. In the same time we propose some major modifications of the method. Secondly we show how the two dimensions may be combined. This is illustrated with respect to the AIDS- and the Translog- model. In this way we find how price and income variations influence measured individual welfare.

description: This paper investigates large fluctuations of Locational Marginal Prices (LMPs) in wholesale energy markets caused by volatile renewable generation profiles. Specifically, we study events of the form $\mathbb{P} \Big ( \mathbf{LMP} \notin \prod_{i=1}^n [α_i^-, α_i^+] \Big),$ where $\mathbf{LMP}$ is the vector of LMPs at the $n$ power grid nodes, and $\boldsymbolα^-,\boldsymbolα^+\in\mathbb{R}^n$ are vectors of price thresholds specifying undesirable price occurrences. By exploiting the structure of the supply-demand matching mechanism in power grids, we look at LMPs as deterministic piecewise affine, possibly discontinuous functions of the stochastic input process, modeling uncontrollable renewable generation. We utilize techniques from large deviations theory to identify the most likely ways for extreme price spikes to happen, and to rank the nodes of the power grid in terms of their likelihood of experiencing a price spike. Our results are derived in the case of Gaussian fluctuations and are validated numerically on the IEEE 14-bus test case.
