description: The $\cosϕ_h$ and $\cos2ϕ_h$ azimuthal modulations of the unpolarized hadron Semi-Inclusive Deep Inelastic Scattering cross section are sensitive to the quark intrinsic transverse momentum and transverse spin. These modulations have been measured at HERMES in a fully differential way by means of a 4-dimensional unfolding procedure to correct for instrumental effects. Results have been extracted for hydrogen and deuterium targets and separately for positively and negatively charged pions and kaons, to access flavor-dependent information about the nucleon internal transverse degrees of freedom.

New Horizons in Gravity: The Trace Anomaly, Dark Energy and Condensate Stars

description: General Relativity receives quantum corrections relevant at macroscopic distance scales and near event horizons. These arise from the conformal scalar degrees of freedom in the extended effective field theory of gravity generated by the trace anomaly of massless quantum fields in curved space. The origin of these conformal scalar degrees of freedom as massless poles in two-particle intermediate states of anomalous amplitudes in flat space is exposed. At event horizons the conformal anomaly scalar degrees of freedom can have macroscopically large effects on the geometry, potentially removing the classical event horizon of black hole and cosmological spacetimes, replacing them with a quantum boundary layer where the effective value of the gravitational vacuum energy density can change. In the effective theory, the cosmological term becomes a dynamical condensate, whose value depends upon boundary conditions near the horizon. In the conformal phase where the anomaly induced fluctutations dominate, and the condensate dissolves, the effective cosmological "constant" is a running coupling which has an infrared stable fixed point at zero. By taking a positive value in the interior of a fully collapsed star, the effective cosmological term removes any singularity, replacing it with a smooth dark energy interior. The resulting gravitational condensate star configuration resolves all black hole paradoxes, and provides a testable alternative to black holes as the final state of complete gravitational collapse. The observed dark energy of our universe likewise may be a macroscopic finite size effect whose value depends not on microphysics but on the cosmological horizon scale.

The effects of short-term low-carbohydrate and ketogenic interventions on cardiometabolic health
Creators: name: Myette-Côté, Étienne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is currently one of the most common chronic diseases worldwide and is characterized by impaired insulin secretion and action, elevated blood glucose and chronic inflammation. Lifestyle interventions including exercise and nutritional manipulations are considered first-line non-pharmacological treatments for this metabolic disease. While most health care providers agree that diet is of extreme importance for the prevention and management of T2D, the type of diet that should be consumed is highly debated. One dietary intervention, the low-carbohydrate high-fat (LCHF) diet, has been shown to be particularly effective at improving diabetes symptoms by reducing glucose excursions and lowering hyperinsulinemia. The first study of this thesis was to determine if changes in insulin levels in saliva were reflective of those observed in plasma following high and low-carbohydrate meals in 20 individuals (10 normal weight; BMI 20.0–24.9 kg/m2 and 10 with overweight/obesity; BMI > 28.0 kg/m2). The findings of this study indicate that saliva could potentially be used to delineate between low and high insulin levels following mixed meals, providing a potential avenue for personalizing dietary choices based on non-invasive saliva insulin measurement. In a second study, the effect of three 4-day diet interventions: i) Low-fat low-glycemic index (GL); ii) LCHF, and iii) LCHF with 15-min post-meal walks (LC+Ex) on the inflammatory and glycemic profiles of 11 individuals with T2D were compared. The main findings were that: a) LCHF and LCHF+EX improved glycemic control and proinsulin levels to a greater extent than GL and b) all diets improved some markers of inflammation. For the third and fourth study, we investigated the isolated effect of a new exogenous ketone monoester (KM) drink taken before a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test in 20 healthy young individuals (BMI < 25 kg/m2) and 15 adults with overweight/obesity (BMI ≥ 28 kg/m2). The main findings are that the KM improved glucose control and decreased non-esterified fatty acids levels without a concomitant increase in circulating insulin. Overall, low-carbohydrate diets and ketone supplements seem to be effective at controlling glucose levels and could be considered as preventive and management therapies for metabolic diseases.

description: This work focuses on the main challenges and problems in developing a virtual oceanic environment reproducing real experiments using Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV) digital twins. We introduce the key features for building virtual worlds, considering using Reinforcement Learning (RL) agents for autonomous navigation and control. With this in mind, the main problems concern the definition of the simulation equations (physics and mathematics), their effective implementation, and how to include strategies for simulated control and perception (sensors) to be used with RL. We present the modeling, implementation steps, and challenges required to create a functional digital twin based on a real robotic sailing vessel. The application is immediate for developing navigation algorithms based on RL to be applied on real boats.

description: L’intervento si basa sull’ipotesi che la presenza di congegni automatizzati di lettura e scrittura presenti in Se una notte d’inverno un viaggiatore si possa proiettare non solo alla luce delle previsioni avanzate dall’autore in “Cibernetica e fantasmi” ma anche a ritroso, ovvero inseguendo il legame di Calvino con la tradizione letteraria cinque-settecentesca (si pensi ad esempio alla macchina per generare discorsi in Swift o alla fissazione e scomposizione delle ‘parole gelate’ in Rabelais). Tale prospettiva punterà a verificare come l’immaginario calviniano, nel suo dualismo intrinseco, mantenga salda la propria impostazione fantastico-fiabesca, anche quando tratta di «macchine di ferro che obbediscono ai bitsenza peso».

Origin and Sustainability of The Population of Asteroids Captured in the Exterior Resonance 1:2 with Mars

description: At present, approximately 1500 asteroids are known to evolve inside or sticked to the exterior 1:2 resonance with Mars at a = 2.418 AU, being (142) Polana the largest member of this group. The effect of the forced secular modes superposed to the resonance gives rise to a complex dynamical evolution. Chaotic diffusion, collisions, close encounters with massive asteroids and mainly orbital migration due to the Yarkovsky effect generate continuous captures to and losses from the resonance, with a fraction of asteroids remaining captured over long time scales and generating a concentration in the semimajor axis distribution that exceeds by 20% the population of background asteroids. The Yarkovsky effect induces different dynamics according to the asteroid size, producing an excess of small asteroids inside the resonance. The evolution in the resonance generates a signature on the orbits, mainly in eccentricity, that depends on the time the asteroid remains captured inside the resonance and on the magnitude of the Yarkovsky effect. The greater the asteroids, the larger the time they remain captured in the resonance, allowing greater diffusion in eccentricity and inclination. The resonance generates a discontinuity and mixing in the space of proper elements producing misidentification of dynamical family members, mainly for Vesta and Nysa-Polana families. The half-life of resonant asteroids large enough for not being affected by the Yarkovsky effect is about 1 Gyr. From the point of view of taxonomic classes, the resonant population does not differ from the background population and the excess of small asteroids is confirmed.

description: Background: This study aimed to identify the predictor variables which account for neutral breast position variance using a full independent variable dataset (the gravity-loaded breast position, age and anthropometrics, and magnetic resonance imaging breast composition data), and a simplified independent variable dataset (magnetic resonance imaging breast composition data excluded). Methods: Breast position (three-dimensional neutral and static gravity-loaded), age, anthropometrics and magnetic resonance imaging breast composition data were collected for 80 females (bra size 32A to 38D). Correlations between the neutral breast position and the gravity-loaded breast position, age, anthropometrics, and magnetic resonance imaging breast composition data were assessed. Multiple linear and multivariate multiple regression models were utilised to predict neutral breast positions, with mean absolute differences and root mean square error comparing observed and predicted neutral breast positions. Findings: Breast volume was the only breast composition variable to contribute as a predictor of the neutral breast position. While ≥69% of the variance in the anteroposterior and mediolateral neutral breast positions were accounted for utilising the gravity-loaded breast position, multivariate multiple regression modelling resulted in mean absolute differences >5 mm. Interpretation: Due to the marginal contribution of breast composition data, a full independent variable dataset may be unnecessary for this application. Additionally, the gravity-loaded breast position, age, anthropometrics, and breast composition data do not successfully predict the neutral breast position. Incorporation of the neutral breast position into breast support garments may enhance bra development. However, further identification of variables which predict the neutral breast position is required.

description: Wireless Capsule Endoscopy (WCE) is device to detect abnormalities in colon,esophagus,small intestinal and stomach, to distinguish bleeding in WCE images from non bleeding is a hard job by human reviewing and very time consuming. Consequently, automation for classifying bleeding frames not only will expedite the process but will reduce the burden on the doctors. Using the purity of the red color we can detect the Bleeding areas in WCE images. But, we could find various intensity of red color values in different parts of the small intestinal,so it is not enough to depend on the red color feature alone. We select RGB(Red,Green,Blue) because it takes raw level values and it is easy to use. In this paper we will put range ratio color for each of R,G,and B. Therefore, we divide each image into multiple pixels and apply the range ratio color condition for each pixel. Then we count the number of the pixels that achieved our condition. If the number of pixels grater than zero, then the frame is classified as a bleeding type. Otherwise, it is a non-bleeding. Our experimental results show that this method could achieve a very high accuracy in detecting bleeding images for the different parts of the small intestinal

Creators: name: Pennacchio, Filippo
Publisher: name: ENTHYMEMA
Year: 2020

description: In termini narratologici, Se una notte d’inverno un viaggiatore è una you-narrative, cioè un racconto in seconda persona, che ruota intorno a un ‘tu’. Da un lato, questo articolo intende soffermarsi su tale aspetto, mettendo in luce la peculiarità nell’uso della seconda persona da parte di Calvino. Dall’altro lato, intende invece spiegare perché il ‘tu’ si rivela decisivo nell’economia del romanzo. Dopo aver descritto le dinamiche enunciative che ne sono alla base, si ragionerà su come la scelta del ‘tu’ si inserisca in un discorso più ampio, relativo al rapporto fra autore e lettore e all’esperienza del testo che Calvino sembra voler rappresentare.

description: This study seeks to contribute a better understanding of what future pre-service teachers of mathematics learn in their mathematics methodology courses at the universities. Course syllabi from six countries were analyzed using the Mathematics Teacher Educator (MTEd) Instrument to examine the “ideal” curriculum trends in mathematics education courses of pre-service teachers. The MTEd identifies 11 research areas and these were our guiding theoretical and analytical frameworks. Each of the syllabi contained in the final syllabus data set (n = 31) were coded using the MTEd Instrument. Correlation analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between category levels and overall levels assigned to each syllabus in elementary-only and secondary-only syllabi. Mann-Whitney U test was conducted between the elementary and secondary data sets. Findings from the study indicated that research related to the mathematics education of pre-service teachers was moderately represented in the course syllabi analyzed. Technology and assessment were the only two categories that were correlated to overall score. Recommendations for mathematics teacher education courses are offered.

description: Situated within the local context of New Brunswick—a small, mostly rural, Canadian province with an aging population and a steady influx of new residents from other countries—this article speculates new curricular possibilities beyond the post-industrial and neoliberal structures of current curriculum and schooling. The authors approach their speculation creatively through a collectively-authored narrative meant to engage the idea of educational utopia within their shared place. In a subsequent discussion of the narrative, the authors reflect on the global phenomenon of neoliberal ideological intrusion into curriculum as manifest in New Brunswick, as well as the myriad forms that intrusion can take. Specifically, the authors discuss: the continued modeling of the school system on adult work, the rigid control of time and the dangers of flexibility in schooling, the desire to expand concepts of community involvement in education, and the urgent necessity of racial equity work in rural spaces. In concluding their discussion, the authors highlight the potential of dreaming new curricular possibilities to disrupt the status quo of education locally and globally.

description: The field of curriculum studies could be described as a young and emerging field that has revived around the world mainly with the attempts of the Curriculum Internationalization Movement. In this article, the researcher intends to describe the process of curriculum studies in Iran, with the aim of illustrating the challenges faced by the field. This article, starting with an overview of the status of curriculum studies in Iran, discusses several issues and problems, such as unemployment crisis of graduates in curriculum studies, the resistance of curriculum decision makers to the findings of the curriculum field, lack of serious movement for theorizing, translation and imitation mostly from American curriculum literature, and reproduction of the international curriculum discourses which are far from the real needs of Iranian educational community. Finally, the possible recommendations, which are to expand the field towards new curriculum ecosystems will be discussed. Such a perspective could be an experience and perhaps a solution from Iran for curriculum studies in other countries. This movement toward new curriculum ecosystems (such as the workplace curriculum, higher education curriculum, informal curriculum, and generally curriculum studies in non-public education) could be elaborated as a disciplinary immigration and moving beyond the reconceptualization which will shape the future of curriculum studies.

It is found that such heterostructures possess an unusual tunneling state occurring inside the original forbidden gaps, and the electronic conductance is greatly enhanced and Fano factor is strongly suppressed near the energy of the tunneling state. Finally we present the matching condition of the impedance of the pseudospin wave for occuring the tunneling state by using the Bloch-wave expansion method.

Il libro dello spreco. Sullo stile tardo di Italo Calvino
Creators: name: Savio, Davide
Publisher: name: ENTHYMEMA
Year: 2020

description: Il contributo intende analizzare Se una notte d’inverno un viaggiatore come prodotto della stagione senile di Calvino, cominciata programmaticamente con il trasferimento a Parigi del 1967. In particolare, nel romanzo si può riconoscere la divaricazione tra convenzioni artistiche e soggettività dell’autore, innescata dall’approssimarsi della morte, su cui Adorno fondava il concetto di stile tardo. Si cercherà di mostrare come lo spreco formale del romanzo senza self, virtuosistico e barocco, rispecchi in realtà l’etica del difficile del suo autore, per il quale ogni cosa, uomini e libri, va giustificata all’interno di un progetto fatto di «scelte volontarie» e di «rinunce attive».

description: Problem: Continuous monocropping of silage maize is associated with non-intended impacts on production levels and the environment, such as decreasing soil quality, pressure on biodiversity and ground water quality and increasing GHG-emissions. Solution: To counteract these impacts, cover crops are grown in the winter, as a break crop between two maize crops. Using ultra-early maize varieties ensures that these winter crops have more time to grow and increases their positive effects for example to soil quality. Outcome: Cover crops have the potential to fix remaining nitrogen from the soil, which can then be released to the soil in the next growing season (Riemens et al., 2017). Past research showed that the cultivation of a winter-hardy cover crop after silage maize reduced nitrate leaching up to 60% (Schröder et al., 1992).

description: Neutral particles can couple with the $U(1)$ gauge field in the adjoint representation at the tree level if the space-time coordinates are noncommutative (NC). Considering neutrino-photon coupling in the NC QED framework, we obtain the differential cross section of neutrino-electron scattering. Similar to the magnetic moment effect, one of the NC terms is proportional to $\frac 1 T$, where $T$ is the electron recoil energy. Therefore, this scattering provides a chance to achieve a stringent bound on the NC scale in low energy by improving the sensitivity to the smaller electron recoil energy.

«Cose vaghe come i sentimenti, come il senso della vita». L’antidoto del Lettore

description: L’articolo propone un itinerario attraverso i tanti personaggi lettori disseminati nell’opera narrativa di Italo Calvino per approdare infine al Lettore protagonista del Se una notte d’inverno un viaggiatore. Se da questo confronto è possibile dedurre il riemergere nel Viaggiatore dell’esigenza, prioritaria nella prima stagione, di una correlazione tra mondo scrittoe mondo non scritto, i termini di questo nesso sarebbero, tuttavia, ormai del tutto sbilanciati a favore del mondo scritto, ultimo baluardo contro quelle «cose vaghe come i sentimenti, come il senso della vita» che inficiano la leggibilità del mondo reale.

description: This work deals with the presence of defect structures in models described by real scalar field in a diversity of scenarios. The defect structures which we consider are static solutions of the equations of motion which depend on a single spatial dimension. We search for different models, which support the same defect solution, with the very same energy density. We work in flat spacetime, where we introduce and investigate a new class of models. We also work in curved spacetime, within the braneworld context, with a single extra dimension of infinite extent, and there we show how the brane is formed from the static field configuration.

description: Coordinated checkpointing is an effective fault tolerant technique in distributed system as it avoids the domino effect and require minimum storage requirement. Most of the earlier coordinated checkpoint algorithms block their computation during checkpointing and forces minimum-process or non-blocking but forces all nodes to takes checkpoint even though many of them may not be necessary or non-blocking minimum-process but takes useless checkpoints or reduced useless checkpoint but has higher synchronization message overhead or has high checkpoint request propagation time. Hence in mobile distributed systems there is a great need of minimizing the number of communication message and checkpointing overhead as it raise new issues such as mobility, low bandwidth of wireless channels, frequently disconnections, limited battery power and lack of reliable stable storage on mobile nodes. In this paper, we propose a minimum-process coordinated checkpointing algorithm for mobile distributed system where no useless checkpoints are taken, no blocking of processes takes place and enforces a minimum-number of processes to take checkpoints. Our algorithm imposes low memory and computation overheads on MH's and low communication overheads on wireless channels. It avoids awakening of an MH if it is not required to take its checkpoint and has reduced latency time as each process involved in a global checkpoint can forward its own decision directly to the checkpoint initiator.

Italo Calvino tra le forme e i generi del discorso metaletterario
Creators: name: Turi, Nicola
Publisher: name: ENTHYMEMA
Year: 2020

description: Se una notte d’inverno un viaggiatore rappresenta l’esito naturale di un percorso creativo che, soprattutto da un certo momento in avanti, esibisce una marcata inclinazione metaletteraria: l’originale esperimento narrativo del 1979 porta infatti a saturazione questa tendenza, sommando plurime e complesse strategie metatestuali che confondono i livelli della realtà (per usare un celebre titolo calviniano) e insieme lo statuto identitario di autore, narratore e personaggio. Il risultato è una struttura elaborata e spiazzante che, mentre riprende rielabora e combina procedimenti già presenti in alcuni testi di Borges e Nabokov (autori dichiaratamente cari a Calvino), individua il suo precedente più prossimo (anche temporalmente) nella Tia Julia y el escribidor (1977) di Mario Vargas Llosa.

description: The two-Equation of State (EoS) model is used to describe the hadron-quark phase transition in asymmetric matter formed at high density in heavy-ion collisions. For the quark phase, the three-flavor Nambu--Jona-Lasinio (NJL) effective theory is used to investigate the influence of dynamical quark mass effects on the phase transition. At variance to the MIT-Bag results, with fixed current quark masses, the main important effect of the chiral dynamics is the appearance of an End-Point for the coexistence zone. We show that a first order hadron-quark phase transition may take place in the region T=(50-80)MeV and ρ_B=(2-4)ρ_0, which is possible to be probed in the new planned facilities, such as FAIR at GSI-Darmstadt and NICA at JINR-Dubna. From isospin properties of the mixed phase somepossible signals are suggested. The importance of chiral symmetry and dynamical quark mass on the hadron-quark phase transition is stressed. The difficulty of an exact location of Critical-End-Point comes from its appearance in a region of competition between chiral symmetry breaking and confinement, where our knowledge of effective QCD theories is still rather uncertain.

«Il potere d’evocazione dei nomi» in Se una notte d’inverno un viaggiatore
Creators: name: Zangrandi, Silvia T.
Publisher: name: ENTHYMEMA
Year: 2020

description: L’interpretatio nominis è da sempre tra gli interessi di Italo Calvino: spie sono i diversi pseudonimi che lo scrittore adottò per sé nel corso degli anni, le indagini ermeneutiche da lui condotte attorno al suo nome, ma soprattutto i ragionamenti riguardanti l’argomento. All'interno del potenziale onomastico offerto dal romanzo Se una notte d’inverno un viaggiatore, non sfugge a chi legge l’accumulo di nomi propri che identificano i personaggi: tra questi sono stati scelti a campione alcuni nomi-spia. Nel romanzo Calvino intrattiene un dialogo anche con la metaonomastica, in consonanza con l’orientamento metanarrativo sviluppato nel romanzo. Lungo la narrazione, infatti, si incontrano diverse considerazioni sull’importanza della nominatio. Calvino pare dirci che tutto ruota attorno al nome proprio perché è attraverso di esso che si viene riconosciuti. È quindi facile concludere che le indagini onomastiche possono indicare un’altra modalità per addentrarsi in questo romanzo.

Determinants of Profitability of Insurance Companies in Ethiopia: An empirical study
Creators: name: Hadush Gebru Abera
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2015

description: A company’s profitability has always attracted the attention of academics, policy makers and practitioners, and researchers interested in revealing the main factors that determine business success or profitability. Although profitability has been widely investigated in industries like manufacturing industries far less attention has been paid to financial sector especially to insurance sector. This study examined the determinants of profitability (liquidity, tangibility, volume of capital, premium growth, claim ratio, real GDP and inflation) on general insurance companies of Ethiopia proxied by ROA. Profitability is dependent variable while liquidity, tangibility, volume of capital, premium growth, claim ratio, real GDP and inflation) are independent variables. In this paper, econometric analyses have performed for a panel of nine Ethiopian general insurance companies for the study period of 2005-2014. The study has used secondary data or quantitative nature of data obtained from the annual audited financial statements (balance sheet and profit/loss account, and revenue account) of insurance companies, financial publications of NBE by applying a statistical package data called EVies 7 only. Since, the study data was panel data or the combination of cross-sectional and time-series data and concurrently random-effect panel data regression was applied to study the effect of those selected independent variables on profitability (ROA).

New chelators for radiopharmaceutical chemistry
Creators: name: Wang, Xiaozhu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: This thesis presents studies on a new family of oxine (8-hydroxyquinoline) based acyclic chelators for application to radiometals (e.g., ⁶⁴Cu, ⁶⁷/⁶⁸Ga, ¹¹¹In) in nuclear medicine. Picolinic acid-based chelators (“pa” family) are reported as excellent radiometal chelators by our group’s previous study. Further development leads to the next generation chelators – the “ox” family (8-hydroxyquinoline). H₂hox showed a marked improvement from its “pa” counterpart, H₂dedpa, including an easy preparation, single complex species in a broad pH range (1-11) and high log KML (34.4) and pM (28.3) values. H₂hox showed fast (5 minutes) and quantitative ⁶⁸Ga labelling at room temperature with a concentration as low as 10-⁷ M and obtained a high molar activity. Excellent in vitro and in vivo stability was confirmed with plasma challenge experiments and dynamic PET imaging. The chelation enhanced fluorescence emission property was used directly to investigate the cellular distribution of [Ga(hox)]⁺ and showed the potential for dual channel imaging. Expanding from the lead chelator, H₂CHXhox was then synthesized by incorporating a cyclohexane (CHX) in the backbone to pre-organise the chelator and showed a great improvement on the kinetic inertness and thermodynamic stability. H₂C3hox was prepared by adding one more carbon to the backbone of H₂hox to obtain a 6-membered chelate ring, in order to investigate the preference of ring size on metal ion radii. H₂C3hox showed a decrease in solution stability, thought to be due to adopting a less stable conformation in the 6-membered chelate ring. H₄octox was designed with increased denticity (N₄O₄) vs H₂hox (N₄O₂) for larger metal ions and showed fast and stable chelation with metal ions (Y³⁺, In³⁺, La³⁺, Lu³⁺and Gd³⁺) in solution. Its in vitro stability with In³⁺ and Y³⁺ was proved using plasma and Fe³⁺ challenge experiments, and in vivo stability was confirmed with ¹¹¹In SPECT imaging. The 60-fold fluorescence emission increase when complexed with Y³⁺ can also be applied in probe design or bi-modal imaging. These studies have indicated that the new “ox” family of chelators is an excellent and useful platform in the development of radiometal-based pharmaceuticals.
Cosmogenic gamma-rays and the composition of cosmic rays

description: We discuss the prospects of detecting the sources of ultra-high energy (UHE) cosmic ray (CR) nuclei via their emission of cosmogenic gamma-rays in the GeV to TeV energy range. These gamma-rays result from electromagnetic cascades initiated by high energy photons, electrons and positrons that are emitted by CRs during their propagation in the cosmic radiation background and are independent of the simultaneous emission of gamma-rays in the vicinity of the source. The corresponding production power by UHE CR nuclei (with mass number A and charge Z) is dominated by pion photo-production (~ A) and Bethe-Heitler pair production (~ Z^2). We show that the cosmogenic gamma-ray signal from a single steady UHE CR source is typically more robust with respect to variations of the source composition and injection spectrum than the accompanying signal of cosmogenic neutrinos. We study the diffuse emission from the sum of extragalactic CR sources as well as the point source emission of the closest sources.

Signed visibility graphs of time series and their application to brain networks
Creators: name: Soni, Gunjan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: Time series have been extensively studied and used in many fields to describe time-dependent observations such as rainfall levels, stock market, and even our brain signals. In this thesis, we extend previous network based approach to the analysis of time series, by introducing signs to the edges that describe the visibility graph. The resulting signed visibility graph contains more information about the properties of time series than standard visibility graphs. We designed a dynamic programming algorithm that creates optimal, non-overlapping and time-respecting clusters/partitions in signed visibility graphs. Our method differs from existing approaches of standard network partitioning or community detection methods that do not take into consideration the time-order in a visibility graph. Our signed visibility graph approach can also be used to define mutual information based measure for comparing the correlation between two time series. By taking into consideration the information of a node due to both positive and negative edges in the graphs, our measure is more accurate than the existing correlation measure. As an application, we applied our framework of signed visibility graph to brain networks and studied the clustering of brain time series for various sets of patients suffering from ADHD, Schizophrenia, Bipolar Disorder, and Epilepsy (with & without seizures), compared with normal human brain signals. For fMRI data, these comparisons are done on various levels: starting from individual Regions of Interest (ROIs) of the brain, to groups of ROIs, and lastly to Resting State Networks (RSNs; brain sub-networks/regions). These comparisons gave some interesting results showing differences in various metrics of brain network. For instance, differences were found in the average number of clusters, cluster size, average mutual information measure, average jaccard index values of clusters, with extreme values in certain sub-networks and in certain disease-sets, etc.
