Model-Based Diagnosis using Structured System Descriptions

Subjects: subject: Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: This paper presents a comprehensive approach for model-based diagnosis which includes proposals for characterizing and computing preferred diagnoses, assuming that the system description is augmented with a system structure (a directed graph explicating the interconnections between system components). Specifically, we first introduce the notion of a consequence, which is a syntactically unconstrained propositional sentence that characterizes all consistency-based diagnoses and show that standard characterizations of diagnoses, such as minimal conflicts, correspond to syntactic variations on a consequence. Second, we propose a new syntactic variation on the consequence known as negation normal form (NNF) and discuss its merits compared to standard variations. Third, we introduce a basic algorithm for computing consequences in NNF given a structured system description. We show that if the system structure does not contain cycles, then there is always a linear-size consequence in NNF which can be computed in linear time. For arbitrary system structures, we show a precise connection between the complexity of computing consequences and the topology of the underlying system structure. Finally, we present an algorithm that enumerates the preferred diagnoses characterized by a consequence. The algorithm is shown to take linear time in the size of the consequence if the preference criterion satisfies some general conditions.

Non-Hermitian Dynamic Strings and Anomalous Topological Degeneracy on non-Hermitian Toric-code Model with Parity-time Symmetry

description: In this paper, with the help of Hermitian/non-Hermitian dynamic strings, the theory of non-Hermitian topological order is developed based on a non-Hermitian Wen-plaquette model. The effective models for bosonic topological excitations (e-particle and m-particle) are Hermitian tight-binding lattice model; the effective model for fermionic topological excitation (f-particle) becomes a non-Hermitian tight-binding lattice model. In addition, the effective pseudo-spin model for topologically degenerate ground states is derived by calculating the expectation values of Hermitian/non-Hermitian topological closed dynamic strings. For the topologically degenerate ground states of non-Hermitian Wen-plaquette model on an even-by-odd, odd-by-even and odd-by-odd lattice, anomalous topological degeneracy occurs, i.e., the number of the topologically protected ground states may be reduced from 2 to 1. Now, the effective pseudo-spin model turns into the typical PT-symmetric non-Hermitian Hamiltonian with spontaneous PT-symmetry breaking. At exceptional points, the topologically degenerate ground states merge with each other and the topological degeneracy turns into non-Hermitian degeneracy. In the end, the application of the non-Hermitian Z2 topological order and its possible physics realization are discussed.

description: Mangroves are unique plants species adapted to survive along the harsh intertidal coastlines of the tropics. They provide a number of key ecosystem services, such as coastline protection and acting as fish nurseries. Despite their importance they are under threat by human influences. Monitoring mangroves is key in their protection, but due to their difficult to traverse nature traditional fieldwork monitoring is difficult. Remote sensing provides a great tool in Mangrove monitoring. This study focuses on the potential of the elevation products of the new spaceborne LIDAR sensor GEDI for Aboveground Biomass Estimates along the Suriname coast.The GEDI Relative Height 75(RH75) data points were analysed for their accuracy, relation with coastal distance and NDVI, and spatial pattern. Furthermore, these points were used to construct aboveground biomass estimates using allometric equations.This study shows that recent elevation products are important for mangrove monitoring due to the highly dynamic nature of the Suriname coastal system. The older DEM (SRTM, Aster and TanDEM-X) are inaccurate along the coast. The analysis of GEDI further showed that there was a high variance in RH75 along the coast, and that NDVI was not related to RH75. In the spatial analysis the high variance along the coast became clear, as well as the strong relation with the tidal inlet and the largest lake. The aboveground biomass estimates based on GEDI and the DEM were in the same order of magnitude as the conducted fieldwork. These results show that GEDI elevation products can be used for aboveground biomass estimations in mangrove monitoring.

description: Carbon dioxide emission reduction has been a popular topic in recent years because it alleviates the current global warming crisis. Hence, there is an urgent need to adapt current technologies to help reduce carbon dioxide emissions before the global warming situation worsens. Amongst carbon dioxide reduction technologies, Electric Vehicle (EV) and renewable energy technologies are most likely to assist in improving this current status of the environmental issue in coming years. Due to increased interest in energy storage systems, such as EV and renewable energy, there is a pending need to improve the existing DC-DC converters used. The DC-DC converter systems used at present are usually bulky, costly and inefficient due to their low operating frequency. Hence, by increasing the operating frequency of the DC-DC converter, the size of the passive elements can be greatly reduced. Among these passive elements, the transformer occupies the most important role indisputably. A High Frequency Coaxial Transformer (HFCT), with a range of 1 kW to 20 kW was designed and introduced in this dissertation. The operating frequency was raised to between 100 kHz and 300 kHz in order to achieve high power densities and high performance efficiency. However, the coupling capacitance accompanied by an increased operating frequency (which couples high frequency noise between the primary and secondary windings) can cause serious common mode problems. Hence, the Faraday shield was placed between the windings of introduced transformers. This reduces the coupling capacitance and consequently the electromagnetic interference. The shielding effect analysis has been conducted to verify the HFCT performance with the insertion of the Faraday shield.

description: In this paper, we discuss f- and flag-vectors of 4-dimensional convex polytopes and cellular 3-spheres. We put forward two crucial parameters of fatness and complexity: Fatness F(P) := (f_1+f_2-20)/(f_0+f_3-10) is large if there are many more edges and 2-faces than there are vertices and facets, while complexity C(P) := (f_{03}-20)/(f_0+f_3-10) is large if every facet has many vertices, and every vertex is in many facets. Recent results suggest that these parameters might allow one to differentiate between the cones of f- or flag-vectors of -- connected Eulerian lattices of length 5 (combinatorial objects), -- strongly regular CW 3-spheres (topological objects), -- convex 4-polytopes (discrete geometric objects), and -- rational convex 4-polytopes (whose study involves arithmetic aspects). Further progress will depend on the derivation of tighter f-vector inequalities for convex 4-polytopes. On the other hand, we will need new construction methods that produce interesting polytopes which are far from being simplicial or simple -- for example, very ``fat'' or ``complex'' 4-polytopes. In this direction, I will report about constructions (from joint work with Michael Joswig, David Eppstein and Greg Kuperberg) that yield -- strongly regular CW 3-spheres of arbitrarily large fatness, -- convex 4-polytopes of fatness larger than 5.048, and -- rational convex 4-polytopes of fatness larger than 5-epsilon.

description: A novel wire meander antenna is introduced for Radio Frequency Identification applications. The aim of this research was to find design rules rather than finding the best performing antenna. The limitations to small antennas performance are explored and reviewed to establish a guideline for new designs. Radiation efficiency was chosen as performance factor for measuring antenna quality. A method of moments technique based on the summation of segment currents and segment loss is introduced for finding the efficiency of wire antennas in free air. It compared favourably with two different results obtained using the finite element method (radiation pattern integration and Wheeler cap). The results were verified using two commercial available software HFSS and NEC. The efficiency of a resonant dipole was found to be proportional to the inverse square root of the conductivity. For a typical RFID meander line antenna in free space the relationship was found to be more severe. All 2D meander antennas with the same physical length in a given area were designed and simulated. The most efficient and longest electrical antennas were constructed. The simulation results were confirmed by practical measurements. A figure of merit was introduced to compare these performances with theoretical limits. Based on these antennas it is concluded that those structures with segments close to the feed have opposite current direction and usually have higher input impedance and efficiency. The idea was extended to 3D meander antennas and the same design rules as 2D meanders were used. The 3D meander antennas were placed on a conducting ground plane. Unlike 2D antennas, these antennas are capable of working near a conducting ground. This means 3D antennas are less affected by the environment around them. The two most significant shortcomings of RFID technology are: tag cost and performance. Both issues were addressed through the introduction of a new tapering method for antennas. Not only can the performance and cost be improved but the impact of tags on environment can be reduced by using this method. An optimization regime was required to find the best perform meander antenna in a given space. A Genetic Algorithm was chosen to find the best perform 2D meander antenna among all the possible solutions. A path finding optimization regime such as Ant Colony proved to be a better option. By using ACO a Pareto-Front was found for the performance of 2D meander antennas in a given area. It was shown that the efficiency is capped regardless of the track width and number of grid points mapping the area.
Controllability of Bandlimited Graph Processes Over Random Time Varying Graphs

description: Controllability of complex networks arises in many technological problems involving social, financial, road, communication, and smart grid networks. In many practical situations, the underlying topology might change randomly with time, due to link failures such as changing friendships, road blocks or sensor malfunctions. Thus, it leads to poorly controlled dynamics if randomness is not properly accounted for. We consider the problem of controlling the network state when the topology varies randomly with time. Our problem concerns target states that are bandlimited over the graph; these are states that have nonzero frequency content only on a specific graph frequency band. We thus leverage graph signal processing and exploit the bandlimited model to drive the network state from a fixed set of control nodes. When controlling the state from a few nodes, we observe that spurious, out-of-band frequency content is created. Therefore, we focus on controlling the network state over the desired frequency band, and then use a graph filter to get rid of the unwanted frequency content. To account for the topological randomness, we develop the concept of controllability in the mean, which consists of driving the expected network state towards the target state. A detailed mean squared error analysis is performed to quantify the statistical deviation between the final controlled state on a particular graph realization and the actual target state. Finally, we propose different control strategies and evaluate their effectiveness on synthetic network models and social networks.

description: This study analyzes the effectiveness of pharmacological support in preventing complications during Nd:YAG laser treatment of secondary cataracts in children. A total of 80 children (160 eyes), aged 6 months to 12 years, were examined post-cataract surgery. A standardized postoperative regimen was used: dexamethasone 0.1% (4×/day), NSAIDs (2×/day), and tropicamide (1×/day for 7 days). In 93.1% of cases (149 eyes), the optical axis remained clear at 12 months. Postoperative complications occurred in 9.3% of eyes: increased IOP in 6.2%, transient uveitis in 3.1%. Timely medication significantly reduced risks and ensured visual rehabilitation. Individualized management enhances the safety and success of treatment.

description: We provide a versatile analytical framework for calculating the dynamics of a spin system in contact with a fermionic bath beyond the Markov approximation. The approach is based on a second order expansion of the Nakajima-Zwanzig master equation but systematically includes all quantum coherent memory effects leading to non-Markovian dynamics. Our results describe, for the free induction decay, the full time range from the non-Markovian dynamics at short times, to the well-known exponential thermal decay at long times. We provide full analytic results for the entire time range using a bath of itinerant electrons as an archetype for universal quantum fluctuations. Furthermore, we propose a quantum thermodynamic scheme to employ the temperature insensitivity of the non-Markovian decay to transport heat out of the electron system and thus, by repeated reinitialization of a cluster of spins, to efficiently cool the electrons at very low temperatures.

description: Men are the predominant perpetrators of domestic and family violence (DFV) with the risk of serious harm disproportionally borne by women and children. In Australia, men’s behaviour change programs (MBCP) form the most significant nationally auspiced response for abusive and violent men, beyond legal sanctions. This one-size-fits-all approach makes it difficult to determine efficacy and application to the diversity of intervention needs, or to establish suitability across a diverse perpetrator population. More broadly across Western contexts, responses are largely siloed across child protection and specialist DFV services, leading to a lack of holistic intervention. Often fathers have remained invisible or minimally engaged where legal sanctions against them are not taken. Yet, due to the complexities of family life, including the child custody rights of fathers, many families have ongoing contact with perpetrators. Recently emerging father-oriented programs have therefore sought to target domestically violent behaviour and poor parenting practice together, leveraging men’s motivation to be better fathers. This study focuses on Caring Dads, a father-focused MBCP program, originating in Canada, which seeks to address the problem of violence in families resulting from both partner and child-directed abuse. The Caring Dads program has some evidence of effectiveness in Australian-comparative contexts, though the focus of evaluations has, to date, centred on improvements to mother and child safety. Such evaluations follow a gendered analysis of violence, which is important for identifying the program’s capacity to create improvements in the safety of women and children, but they do not address the concerns of co-parenting and whole-of-family wellbeing, which are significant when families continue contact in the wake of DFV. This thesis addresses a gap in the evidence by considering whether the Caring Dads program can improve parental alliance and family functioning for families where fathers have used DFV and continue contact with their families, either through remaining in families, or through post-separation parenting contact.

description: To assess the trends in non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) incidence in Hong Kong from 1990 to 2019 and the associations of age, calendar period, and birth cohort, to make projections to 2030, and to examine the drivers of NMSC incidence. We assessed the age, calendar period, and birth cohort effects of NMSC incidence in Hong Kong between 1990 and 2019 using an age-period-cohort model. Using Bayesian age-period-cohort analysis with integrated nested Laplace approximations, we projected the incidence of NMSC in Hong Kong to 2030. From 1990 to 2019, the age-standardized incidence rate of NMSC increased from 6.7 per 100,000 population to 8.6 per 100,000 population in men and from 5.4 per 100,000 to 5.9 per 100,000 population in women, among the 19,568 patients in the study (9812 male patients [50.14%]). The annual net drift was 2.00% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.50–2.50%) for men and 1.53% (95% CI: 0.95–2.11%) for women. Local drifts increased for both sexes above the 35–39-year age group. The period and cohort risk of developing NMSC tended to rise but slowed gradually in the most recent period and post-1975 birth cohort. From 2019 to 2030, it is projected that the number of newly diagnosed NMSC cases in Hong Kong will increase from 564 to 829 in men and from 517 to 863 in women. Population aging, population growth, and epidemiologic changes contributed to the increase in incident NMSCs, with population aging being the most significant contributor. The slowing of the period and cohort effects suggests that the rising incidence of NMSC is partly attributable to increased awareness and diagnosis. The increasing prevalence of NMSC among the elderly and an aging population will significantly impact the clinical workload associated with NMSC for the foreseeable future.

description: A field investigation was executed in sugarcane producing area of Zhanjiang,Guangdong Province with Yt03-373 as the test variety to understand the possible impacts of seaweed extracts on phenology，yield and quality attributes of sugarcane.Foliar application of seaweed extracts were carried out on sugarcane at seedling and tillering stages. Agronomic traits, yield, sugar content, leaf drought resistance and pest resistance of sugarcane were analyzed for optimization of application time at proper phenological stages . The results that compared to the control, the application of seaweed extracts at different stages of sugarcane enhanced production of sugarcane with increase rate of 10.83%-12.87%, and improved theoretical sugar yield of sugarcane up to 1.9 t/ha while enhancing water retention capacity and water content of sugarcane leaves that consequently led to wilting risk reduction by escaping drought and improved resilience to grought impact on sugarcane. Seaweed extracts also performed excellent in pest management of sugarcane wad observed to be 15.09% compared to control,while the net income was improved by up to 32.64% in the seaweed extracts application treatment. Foliar application of seaweed extracts not only enhanced growth, cold resistance, pest resistance, output value but also inproved economic returns, giving a positive affirmation for the recommendation of seaweed extract application.

description: We study nondeterministic quantum algorithms for Boolean functions f. Such algorithms have positive acceptance probability on input x iff f(x)=1. In the setting of query complexity, we show that the nondeterministic quantum complexity of a Boolean function is equal to its ``nondeterministic polynomial'' degree. We also prove a quantum-vs-classical gap of 1 vs n for nondeterministic query complexity for a total function. In the setting of communication complexity, we show that the nondeterministic quantum complexity of a two-party function is equal to the logarithm of the rank of a nondeterministic version of the communication matrix. This implies that the quantum communication complexities of the equality and disjointness functions are n+1 if we do not allow any error probability. We also exhibit a total function in which the nondeterministic quantum communication complexity is exponentially smaller than its classical counterpart.

description: In this paper, the sensitivity analysis of a single scale model is employed in order to reduce the input dimensionality of the related multiscale model, in this way, improving the efficiency of its uncertainty estimation. The approach is illustrated with two examples: a reaction model and the standard Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process. Additionally, a counterexample shows that an uncertain input should not be excluded from uncertainty quantification without estimating the response sensitivity to this parameter. In particular, an analysis of the function defining the relation between single scale components is required to understand whether single scale sensitivity analysis can be used to reduce the dimensionality of the overall multiscale model input space.

description: Massive young stellar objects are known to undergo an evolutionary phase in which high mass accretion rates drive strong outflows. A class of objects believed to trace this phase accurately is the GLIMPSE Extended Green Object (EGO) sample, so named for the presence of extended 4.5 $μ$m emission on sizescales of $\sim$0.1 pc in \textit{Spitzer} images. We have been conducting a multi-wavelength examination of a sample of 12 EGOs with distances of 1 to 5 kpc. In this paper, we present mid-infrared images and photometry of these EGOs obtained with the SOFIA telescope, and subsequently construct SEDs for these sources from the near-IR to sub-millimeter regimes using additional archival data. We compare the results from greybody models and several publicly-available software packages which produce model SEDs in the context of a single massive protostar. The models yield typical \rstar\/$\sim$10 \rsun, \tstar\/$\sim$10$^3$ to 10$^4$ K, and \lstar\/$\sim$1~$-$~40~$\times$~10$^3$ \lsun; the median $L/M$ for our sample is 24.7 \lsun/\msun. Model results rarely converge for \rstar\/ and \tstar, but do for \lstar, which we take to be an indication of the multiplicity and inherently clustered nature of these sources even though, typically, only a single source dominates in the mid-infrared. The median $L/M$ value for the sample suggests that these objects may be in a transitional stage between the commonly described ``IR-quiet'' and ``IR-bright'' stages of MYSO evolution. The median $T_{dust}$ for the sample is less conclusive, but suggests that these objects are either in this transitional stage or occupy the cooler (and presumably younger) part of the IR-bright stage.

description: Analisa os elementos do Regime de Informação e as ações de informação na forma de vida acadêmica para a constituição dos Cursos de Bacharelado em Arquivologia no Brasil. O marco principal desta pesquisa foi um olhar para o contexto da constituição/expansão desses cursos. Nesse sentido, explora as mediações dessa forma de vida acadêmica a partir do modelo de Regime de Informação proposto por González de Gómez (1999), partindo do pressuposto de que a cultura informacional, compartilhada pelos atores no âmbito de certo espaço social, contribui para se entender sua aplicação em certo contexto. Como ponto inicial, identifica os Cursos de Bacharelado em Arquivologia do Brasil a partir de 2000 e seus respectivos atores sociais que têm currículo na Plataforma Lattes. A escolha do tema foi motivada por proporcionar um espaço que favoreça o estudo dos currículos adotados nos Cursos de Bacharelado em Arquivologia no Brasil, de modo a oferecer contribuições utilizando as abordagens do perfil institucional e do perfil docente relacionadas às ações dos atores sociais, dos conteúdos e dos recursos institucionais/docentes, do poder implícito e das diferenças no perfil das instituições e dos docentes, estabelecendo parâmetros entre a teoria e a prática na área. O referencial teórico aborda a Arquivologia brasileira no contexto do Regime de Informação e a possibilidade de uma inteligência coletiva na forma de vida relacionada à Arquivologia no Brasil. A pesquisa é de natureza descritiva, a partir de uma abordagem qualiquantitativa, e os caminhos de processos de busca e análises dos dados foram delineados com os princípios do método indiciário de Ginzburg (1989) e da técnica de brauseio de Araújo (1994). Os resultados demonstram que a pesquisa contribui para mais abertura de um Regime de Informação nos Cursos de Arquivologia brasileiros, sobretudo no que tange aos perfis institucional e docentes, com discussões voltadas para a harmonização curricular. O estudo mostrou que é preciso fazer mais pesquisas na área arquivística, porquanto uma melhor comunicação científica entre os atores contribuirá sobremaneira para que isso ocorra. Conclui-se que a pesquisa colabora com dois eixos, dos cinco propostos pela Reparq, para promover a harmonização curricular dos Cursos de Arquivologia brasileiros, e que fornece dados para que os atores sociais, a partir do levantamento da formação docente de cada ator, possam incorporar em sua praxis profissional informações relevantes. Espera-se contribuir também para formar uma rede de comunicação de pesquisa entre a Arquivologia e a Ciência da Informação.
title: A Memorial for the Twenty-First Century: The Timelessness of the Bosnian Stećak and Its Relevance to Contemporary Visual Art

description: This visual art research project responds to the sculptural and social phenomenon of Stećak (pl. Stećci), a type of monumental tombstone that was prolific in mediaeval Bosnia (later Bosnia and Herzegovina) and surrounding areas at the time. The art of Stećak emerged in the area that divides and connects the East and West (the ‘Orient’ and the ‘Occident’). A specific expression of the mediaeval sepulchral art, the Stećak is the result of an overlap and fusion of different cultures; primarily, Western European, Mediterranean, Byzantine, and South Slavic. Due to the differences in type, shape, volume, decorative motifs, inscriptions, and historic context, the Stećak represents a unique phenomenon within the mediaeval European artistic and archaeological heritage. These monuments were officially recognised on a global scale on 15 July 2016, when a number of Stećci were included on the UNESCO’s World Heritage List. While the Stećak temporally belongs to the wider European medieval period, it also parallels other sculptural traditions from prehistory to, paradoxically, the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. As a Bosnian national and trained sculptor, I have been aware of these monoliths for most of my life, though this research represents my first concerted engagement with them. Through my theoretical and practice-based research, I have come to recognise this old Bosnian sculptural practice as an anachronistic knot, or fusion, of different stone sculptural expressions and traditions. With its layered content, the art of the Stećak is highly applicable and adaptable within the context of contemporary and memorial art. Thus, I contextualise, contrast, and compare the mediaeval Stećak with its sculptural contemporaries—the work of other artists and also my own that have similar memorialising functions.

A Selective Macro-learning Algorithm and its Application to the NxN Sliding-Tile Puzzle

description: One of the most common mechanisms used for speeding up problem solvers is macro-learning. Macros are sequences of basic operators acquired during problem solving. Macros are used by the problem solver as if they were basic operators. The major problem that macro-learning presents is the vast number of macros that are available for acquisition. Macros increase the branching factor of the search space and can severely degrade problem-solving efficiency. To make macro learning useful, a program must be selective in acquiring and utilizing macros. This paper describes a general method for selective acquisition of macros. Solvable training problems are generated in increasing order of difficulty. The only macros acquired are those that take the problem solver out of a local minimum to a better state. The utility of the method is demonstrated in several domains, including the domain of NxN sliding-tile puzzles. After learning on small puzzles, the system is able to efficiently solve puzzles of any size.

New correlation functions for random matrices and integrals over supergroups

description: The averages of ratios of characteristic polynomials det(lambda - X) of N x N random matrices X, are investigated in the large N limit for the GUE, GOE and GSE ensemble. The density of states and the two-point correlation function are derived from these ratios. The method relies on an extension of the Harish-Chandra-Itzykson-Zuber integrals to the GOE ensemble and to supergroups, which are explicitly evaluated as solutions of heat kernel differential equations. An external matrix source, linearly coupled to the random matrices, may also be added to the Gaussian distribution, and allows for a discussion of universality of the GOE results in the large N limit.
