Subjects: Other engineering not elsewhere classified

description: In the present investigation, Achromobacter denitrifacians was isolated from industrial wastewater and used in the degradation of para nitro-phenol. Experiments were made as a function of different carbon sources, organic and inorganic nitrogen sources and metal ions to analyse the removal efficiency of para nitro-phenol present in the industrial wastewater sources. Observations revealed that the rate of phenol biodegradation was significantly affected by pH, temperature of incubation, glucose, peptone and metal ion concentration. The optimal conditions for phenol removal were found to be pH of 7.5, temperature, 35 °C and 0.25 gL−1 supplemented glucose level, 0.25 gL−1 supplemented peptone level, and 0.01 gL−1 zinc ion. The key importance of the present study is the utilization of a native bacterial strain isolated from the industrial effluent water itself having an impending role in the bioremediation process of phenol.

description: We study the relativistic dynamics of a pressure-less and irrotational fluid of dark matter (CDM) with a cosmological constant ($Λ$), up to second order in cosmological perturbation theory. In our analysis we also account for vector and tensor perturbations and include primordial non-Gaussianity. We consider three gauges: the synchronous-comoving gauge, the Poisson gauge and the total matter gauge, where the first is the unique relativistic Lagrangian frame of reference, and the latters are convenient gauge choices for Eulerian frames. Our starting point is the metric and fluid variables in the Poisson gauge up to second order. We then perform the gauge transformations to the synchronous-comoving gauge and subsequently to the total matter gauge. Our expressions for the metrics, densities, velocities, and the gauge generators are novel and coincide with known results in the limit of a vanishing cosmological constant.

title:  Predictive Algorithms and Criminal Justice: a Synthetic Overview From an Italian and European Perspective
Creators: name: Notaro  ,  Laura
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press
Year: 2022

description: The paper seeks to provide a synthetic overview of the current and potential uses of “predictive algorithms” in the context of criminal justice systems, as well as of the critical issues arising from such tools.In the first part (§§ 2-3), the main uses of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools within the legal systems which have implemented them will be presented. Then a synthetic framework of the possible fields of application of AI in the context of criminal justice will be provided. In the second part (§§ 4-5), the problems arising from the introduction of algorithmic tools in criminal justice will be analysed, with special attention to the fundamental rights guaranteed at a European level, the general principles of criminal law and procedure and the further juridical limits, provided by supranational and national law. In the conclusions (§ 6), an attempt will be made to define the acceptable scopes of application of algorithmic tools in the criminal justice system and to identify the necessary precautions and conditions for the use of new technologies to be consistent with the national and European legal framework.

INSURANCE RISK WITH VARIABLE NUMBER OF POLICIES
Creators: name: Adan, Ivo
name: Kulkarni, Vidyadhar
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2008

description: In this paper we consider an insurance company selling life insurance policies. New policies are sold at random points in time, and each policy stays active for a random amount of time, during which the policyholder pays premiums continuously at rate r. When the policy expires, the insurance company pays a claim of random size. The aim is to compute the probability of eventual ruin starting with a given number of policies and a given level of insurance reserves. We establish a remarkable result that, if the lifetimes of policies are i.i.d. exponential random variables with rate μ, then the ruin probability is identical to the one in the standard compound Poisson model where the reserves increase at constant rate r and claims occur according to a Poisson process with rate μ. We conclude that the ruin probability does not depend on the initial number of active policies, nor on the arrival process of new policies.

SCHEDULING IMPATIENT JOBS IN A CLEARING SYSTEM WITH INSIGHTS ON PATIENT TRIAGE IN MASS CASUALTY INCIDENTS

description: Motivated by the patient triage problem in emergency response, we consider a single-server clearing system in which jobs may abandon the system if they are not taken into service within their “lifetime.” In this system, jobs are characterized by their lifetime and service time distributions. Our objective is to dynamically determine the optimal or near-optimal order of service for jobs so as to minimize the total number of abandonments. We first show that if the jobs can be ordered in such a way that the job with the shortest lifetime (in the sense of hazard rate ordering) also has the shortest service time (in the sense of likelihood ratio ordering), then the optimal policy gives the highest priority to this “time-critical” job independently of the system state. For the case where the jobs with shorter lifetimes have longer service times, we observed that the optimal policy generally has a complex structure that may depend on the type and number of jobs available. For this case, we provide partial characterizations of the optimal policy and obtain sufficient conditions under which a state-independent policy is optimal. Furthermore, we develop two state-dependent heuristic policies, and by means of a numerical study, show that these heuristics perform well, especially when jobs abandon the system at a relatively faster rate when compared to service rates. Based on our analytical and numerical results, we develop several insights on patient triage in the immediate aftermath of a mass casualty event. For example, we conclude that in a worst-case scenario, where medical resources are overwhelmed with a large number of casualties who need immediate attention, it is crucial to implement state-dependent policies such as the heuristic policies proposed in this paper.

On the exceedance point process for a stationary sequence
Creators: name: Leadbetter, M. R.
name: Hüsler, J.
name: Hsing, T.
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1988

description: It is known that the exceedance points of a hiqh level by a stationary sequence are asymptotically Poisson as the level increases, under appropriate lone range and local dependence conditions. When the local dependence conditions are relaxed, clustering of exceedances may occur, based on Poisson positions for the clusters. In this paper a detailed analysis of the exceedance point process is given, and shows that, under wide conditions, any limiting point process for exceedances is necessarily compound Poisson. Sufficient conditions are also qiven for the existence of such a limit. The limiting distributions of extreme order statistics are derived as corollaries.
Lower bounds for bandwidth selection in density estimation

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 1991

description: This paper establishes asymptotic lower bounds which provide limits, in various contexts, as to how well one may select the bandwidth of a kernel density estimator. Earlier results are of this type are extended to the important case of different smoothness classes (for the underlying density), and it is also seen that very useful bounds can be obtained even in the presence of parametric knowledge of the density. An important feature of the results is that while the lower bound is unacceptably large (i.e. of order n-1/10) when the error criterion is Integrated Squared Error, it can be quite acceptable (often of order n-1/2) when the error criterion is Mean Integrated Squared Error. We feel this indicates that the latter should become the benchmark for this problem.

description: Dohmen et al. (2010) find in their paper (‘Are Risk Aversion and Impatience Related to Cognitive Ability?'), which has been published in the American Economic Review, that risk aversion and impatience are negatively related to cognitive ability. This topic is important because controlling for cognitive ability might be necessary if someone is interested in the link of risk preferences or time preferences to real-world outcomes. We re-examine their key results by conducting an experimental study using two subject pools (agricultural students and farmers) and three levels of monetary incentives. Similar to Dohmen et al. (2010), our study finds the above-described negative correlations. However, the strength of the association is relatively small in the realm of risk aversion and negligible with impatience.

description: Individual quantum systems may be interacting with surrounding environments having a small number of degrees of freedom. It is therefore relevant to understand the extent to which such small (but uncontrollable) environments could affect the quantum properties of the system of interest. Here we discuss a simple system-environment toy model, constituted by a two-level atom (atom 1) interacting with a single mode cavity field. The field is also assumed to be (weakly) coupled to an external noisy subsystem, the small environment, modeled as a second two-level atom (atom 2). We investigate the action of the minimal environment on the dynamics of the linear entropy (state purity) and the atomic dipole squeezing of atom 1, as well as the entanglement between atom 1 and the field. We also obtain the full analytical solution of the two atom Tavis-Cummings model for both arbitrary coupling strengths and frequency detunings, necessary to analyze the influence of the field-environment detuning on the evolution of the above mentioned quantum properties. For complementarity, we discuss the role of the degree of mixedness of the environment by analyzing the time-averaged linear entropy of atom 1.

description: We analyze potential effects of an extraterrestrial civilization's use of orbiting mirrors to illuminate the dark side of a synchronously rotating planet on planetary transit light curves. Previous efforts to detect civilizations based on side effects of planetary-scale engineering have focused on structures affecting the host star output (e.g. Dyson spheres). However, younger civilizations are likely to be less advanced in their engineering efforts, yet still capable of sending small spacecraft into orbit. Since M dwarfs are the most common type of star in the solar neighborhood, it seems plausible that many of the nearest habitable planets orbit dim, low-mass M stars, and will be in synchronous rotation. Logically, a civilization evolving on such a planet may be inspired to illuminate their planet's dark side by placing a single large mirror at the L2 Lagrangian point, or launching a fleet of small thin mirrors into planetary orbit. We briefly examine the requirements and engineering challenges of such a collection of orbiting mirrors, then explore their impact on transit light curves. We incorporate stellar limb darkening and model a simplistic mirror fleet's effects for transits of Earth-like (R = 0.5 to 2 R_Earth) planets which would be synchronously rotating for orbits within the habitable zone of their host star. Although such an installation is undetectable in Kepler data, JWST will provide the sensitivity necessary to detect a fleet of mirrors orbiting Earth-like habitable planets around nearby stars.

description: This study aimed to 1) elaborate the characteristics of communication strategies used by the American talk show host in “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and the Indonesian talk show host in “Mata Najwa”, 2) disclose the similarities, and 3) disclose the differences of each host in performing the talk show. The data were collected by using purposive sampling technique with samples as many as 16 host’s utterances of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” from one episode and 21 host’s utterances of “Mata Najwa” from one episode. The method of collecting data was used tapping technique, such as Simak Bebas Libat Cakap (non-participant observation) and note-taking. Meanwhile, the method of analyzing data was descriptive qualitative approach with four steps of work procedures. This study used discourse analysis approach which was emphasized in the context of media communication. The result of analysis shows that the talk show hosts of “The Ellen DeGeneres Show” and “Mata Najwa” use some strategies for the opening, the discussion process, and the closing. In the opening, both of the hosts use some particular strategies, such as pre-headline, headline, story, pre-introduction, and introduction. The next strategies are used in the discussion process, those are minimal response, interruption, tag question, and repetition. Other strategies are also found in the closing section, such as pre-closing component and closing component. At last, it shows that there have been certain prototypes used by the talk show hosts, but it creates some particular characteristics as the differences between them in performing the talk show.

description: Organizations tend to over-authorize their members, ensuring smooth operations. However, these excessive authorizations offer a substantial attack surface and are the reason regulative authorities demand periodic checks of their authorizations. Thus, organizations conduct time-consuming and costly access reviews to verify these authorizations by human decision-makers. Still, these deciders only marginally revoke authorizations due to the poor usability of access reviews. In this work, we apply digital nudges to guide human deciders during access reviews to tackle this issue and improve security. In detail, we formalize the access review problem, interview experts (n=10) to identify several nudges helpful for access reviews, and conduct a user study (n=102) for the Choice Defaults Nudge. We show significant behavior changes in revoking authorizations. We also achieve time savings and less stress. However, we also found that improving the overall quality requires more advanced means. Finally, we discuss design implications for access reviews with digital nudges.

The model parameters are close to the observed ones if the density of the cloud in which the HII zone is expanding is fairly high (>~ 10^5 cm^{-3}) and the luminosity of the driving source exceeds previous estimate. Probable reasons for the scatter of the observed parameters of the clumps are discussed.

Το εγχείρημα αυτό επιτυγχάνεται με την αξιοποίηση φυσικών ανανεώσιμων πηγών, που είναι πλούσιες σε βιοενεργά συστατικά και την εφαρμογή τεχνικών επεξεργασίας τους με λιγότερη ενέργεια και νερό αλλά και διαλύτες πιο φιλικούς προς το περιβάλλον. Μεγάλη έμφαση αποδίδεται και στη μελέτη της ασφάλειας των κοσμητικών συστατικών. Αν και η ασφάλεια επιβεβαιώνεται στις περισσότερες περιπτώσεις, καθώς πληρούνται οι απαιτούμενες προδιαγραφές των συστατικών κατά την παραγωγή, οι μελέτες συνεχίζουν και εξελίσσονται συνεχώς αν και απαιτείται περεταίρω έρευνα για νέα δεδομένα. Στην εργασία αυτή περιγράφονται ανανεώσιμες πηγές που βρίσκουν σημαντική εφαρμογή στην κοσμητολογία και συστατικά που παράγονται από αυτές. Επίσης αναφέρονται τα θεσμικά πλαίσια κάποιων χωρών σχετικά με τους κανονισμούς ασφάλειας των κοσμητικών συστατικών και τέλος συζητείται και η αξιολόγηση ασφαλείας αυτών.

description: Spectral observations of the massive colliding wind binary Eta Carinae show phase-dependent variations, in intensity and velocity, of numerous helium emission and absorption lines throughout the entire 5.54-year orbit. Approaching periastron, the 3D structure of the wind-wind interaction region (WWIR) gets highly distorted due to the eccentric ($e \sim 0.9$) binary orbit. The secondary star ($η_{\mathrm{B}}$) at these phases is located deep within the primary's dense wind photosphere. The combination of these effects is thought to be the cause of the particularly interesting features observed in the helium lines at periastron. We perform 3D radiative transfer simulations of $η$ Car's interacting winds at periastron. Using the SimpleX radiative transfer algorithm, we post-process output from 3D smoothed particle hydrodynamic simulations of the inner 150 au of the $η$ Car system for two different primary star mass-loss rates ($\dot{M}_{η_{\mathrm{A}}}$). Using previous results from simulations at apastron as a guide for the initial conditions, we compute 3D helium ionization maps. We find that, for higher $\dot{M}_{η_{\mathrm{A}}}$, $η_{\mathrm{B}}$ He$^{0+}$-ionizing photons are not able to penetrate into the pre-shock primary wind. He$^{+}$ due to $η_{\mathrm{B}}$ is only present in a thin layer along the leading arm of the WWIR and in a small region close to the stars. Lowering $\dot{M}_{η_{\mathrm{A}}}$ allows $η_{\mathrm{B}}$'s ionizing photons to reach the expanding unshocked secondary wind on the apastron side of the system, and create a low fraction of He$^{+}$ in the pre-shock primary wind. With apastron on our side of the system, our results are qualitatively consistent with the observed variations in strength and radial velocity of $η$ Car's helium emission and absorption lines, which helps better constrain the regions where these lines arise.

description: Contamination of almonds and peppercorns during preharvest and postharvest has raised a safety concern. Contaminations may include spoilage or pathogenic microorganisms like Salmonella, Aspergillus species, and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). A nonthermal waterless technology must be investigated and integrated into the processing of almonds and peppercorns to control the contamination. Gaseous chlorine dioxide (ClO2) is a selective oxidant and powerful antimicrobial agent for decontaminating low moisture foods. There is a need to evaluate it on reducing a range of microorganisms and validate it from lab-scale to industrial-scale. Therefore, the goal of this research was to develop and validate batch gaseous (ClO2) fumigation to reduce the background and pathogenic microorganisms on whole black peppercorns and almonds, respectively, from lab-scale to industrial-scale. Batch gaseous ClO2 was designed to reduce the background microflora on peppercorns, validate E. faecium as a surrogate for Salmonella, and reduce A. flavus and AFB1 on almond kernels. The effect of gaseous ClO2 was also observed on the genetic defense mechanism of A. flavus. These results were used to develop the gaseous ClO2 fumigation technology on inhull almonds contaminated with A. flavus and background flora without affecting its quality (moisture content, lipid oxidation, and color). Finally, the engineering controls (moisture, gas concentration, flow, sample size, and application method) were assessed and optimized at pilot and industrial scales. Gaseous ClO2 demonstrated significant reductions of background microbial flora (90%) on peppercorns, Salmonella (99%) and E. faecium (97.5%) on almond kernels, A. flavus (99.6%) and AFB1 (84.4%) on kernels, and reductions of A. flavus (87.4%) and background flora (88.8%) on inhull almonds. The results highlighted the influence of external parameters on the ClO2 fumigation efficiency. Multiple pilot-scale treatments were designed using the lab-scale results. The results from pilot-scale treatments were translated into industrial pilot-scale stockpiled inhull almonds fumigation. After industrial pilot-scale treatments, the study recommends the usage of gaseous ClO2 as a postharvest fumigant to control pathogenic microorganisms on inhull almonds to enhance food safety. This information provides a foundation for the scale-up of gaseous ClO2 technology on low moisture foods adapted to commercial processing.
Chronic Pain in the Aftermath of Sexual Assault

description: Acute and chronic pain is a common consequence of sexual assault. Previous research studies conducted by the UNC Institute for Trauma Recovery have shown that Clinically Significant New or Worsening Pain (CSNWP) occurred months following assault in body regions that did not experience physical injury. Such results give rise to the implication that chronic pain is not necessarily related to physical injury, and may develop through other mechanisms. I worked towards understanding the etiology of chronic pain development by analyzing the statistical associations between pain and physical injury using results from a large-scale prospective study (N=706, Mage = 28.4 years, 57.3% white, 15.0% Black). Such an understanding is widely applicable to providing successful care for sexual assault survivors

description: Η πρώτη επέµβαση βαριατρικής πραγµατοποιήθηκε το 1954, έκτοτε αυξάνεται συνάμα µε την αυξανόµενη πορεία που σηµειώνει η νοσηρή παχυσαρκία. Οι ασθενείς δεν είναι προετοιµασµένοι να αποδεχτούν τις συνέπειες της µαζικής απώλειας βάρους καθώς επηρεάζεται σημαντικά η ψυχοκοινωνική τους ζωή. Η περίσσεια δέρµατος είναι έντονη στην κοιλιακή χώρα, στα άνω άκρα, στην πλάτη και στους µηρούς. Συχνά, οι ασθενείς που υποβάλλονται στη διαδικασία αφαίρεσης περίσσειας δέρματος χρίζουν μια ιδιαίτερη νοσηλευτική φροντίδα. Η βασική αρχή πλαστικής χειρουργικής σε αυτή την ομάδα ασθενών περιλαμβάνει αρχικά την αφαίρεση της περίσσειας δέρματος σε διάφορες περιοχές του σώματος και έπειτα τη διαμόρφωση του σώματος σε συνδυασμό με την τεχνική της λιποαναρρόφησης. Έπειτα, οι γενικές αρχές περιλαµβάνουν πρόληψη των πιθανών επιπλοκών που προκαλούνται από την ακινησία και αποφυγή άσκησης υψηλής πίεσης στις χειρουργικές τοµές. Οι ουλές είναι ένα σηµαντικό αισθητικό πρόβληµα που αντιµετωπίζουν οι ασθενείς και για το λόγο αυτό προτείνεται η βελτιστοποίηση της διατροφικής τους κατάστασης καθώς και η χρήση ιατροτεχνολογικών προϊόντων και καλλυντικών. Eπίσης, το κολλαγόνο και η έγκαιρη επούλωση των πληγών µπορεί να ελαττώσει τις επιπλοκές του τραύµατος. Τέλος, ο συνδυασµός επεµβατικών διαδικασιών για τη διόρθωση του περιγράµµατος σώµατος έχει καλύτερα µακροπρόθεσµα αποτελέσµατα. Με την εξέλιξη της αισθητικής χειρουργικής υπάρχουν περισσότερες παραλλαγές χειρουργικών τεχνικών που επικεντρώνονται στο περίγραµµα σώµατος µετά από βαριατρικό χειρουργείο. Η χειρουργική επέµβαση σώµατος µετά από βαριατρικό χειρουργείο βελτιώνει σημαντικά την εικόνα του σώµατος, την αυτοεκτίµηση και την ποιότητα ζωής του ασθενή.

description: The theory of community structure is a powerful tool for real networks, which can simplify their topological and functional analysis considerably. However, since community detection methods have random factors and real social networks obtained from complex systems always contain error edges, evaluating the robustness of community structure is an urgent and important task. In this letter, we employ the critical threshold of resolution parameter in Hamiltonian function, $γ_C$, to measure the robustness of a network. According to spectral theory, a rigorous proof shows that the index we proposed is inversely proportional to robustness of community structure. Furthermore, by utilizing the co-evolution model, we provides a new efficient method for computing the value of $γ_C$. The research can be applied to broad clustering problems in network analysis and data mining due to its solid mathematical basis and experimental effects.

A Robust Statistics Approach to Minimum Variance Portfolio Optimization

description: We study the design of portfolios under a minimum risk criterion. The performance of the optimized portfolio relies on the accuracy of the estimated covariance matrix of the portfolio asset returns. For large portfolios, the number of available market returns is often of similar order to the number of assets, so that the sample covariance matrix performs poorly as a covariance estimator. Additionally, financial market data often contain outliers which, if not correctly handled, may further corrupt the covariance estimation. We address these shortcomings by studying the performance of a hybrid covariance matrix estimator based on Tyler's robust M-estimator and on Ledoit-Wolf's shrinkage estimator while assuming samples with heavy-tailed distribution. Employing recent results from random matrix theory, we develop a consistent estimator of (a scaled version of) the realized portfolio risk, which is minimized by optimizing online the shrinkage intensity. Our portfolio optimization method is shown via simulations to outperform existing methods both for synthetic and real market data.

description: We consider the electrodynamics of in-spiraling binary pulsars, showing that there are two distinct ways in which they may emit radiation. On the one hand, even if the pulsars do not rotate, we show that in vacuo orbital rotation generates magnetic quadrupole emission, which, in the late stages of the binary evolution becomes nearly as effective as magnetic dipole emission by a millisecond pulsar. On the other hand, we show that interactions of the two magnetic fields generate powerful induction electric fields, which cannot be screened by a suitable distribution of charges and currents like they are in isolated pulsars. We compute approximate electromotive forces for this case.
