description: Because the stationary bootstrap resamples data blocks of random length, this method has been thought to have the largest asymptotic variance among block bootstraps Lahiri [Ann. Statist. 27 (1999) 386--404]. It is shown here that the variance of the stationary bootstrap surprisingly matches that of a block bootstrap based on nonrandom, nonoverlapping blocks. This argument translates the variance expansion into the frequency domain and provides a unified way of determining variances for other block bootstraps. Some previous results on the stationary bootstrap, related to asymptotic relative efficiency and optimal block size, are also updated.

description: This paper is the replication of Alizadeh and Nomikos (2008) Performance of Statistical Arbitrage in Petroleum Futures Markets. Cited methodology from the original paper, this paper investigates the linkages between commodities in the future markets and apply trading strategy based on statistical analysis. The trading strategy is established based on cointegration relationships between commodities and execute trading rules to determine long-short positions. The robustness of trading result will be implemented by using stationary bootstrap approach. From the result, we can see the trading strategy based on cointegration relationship analysis is efficient to set up trading strategies in given datasets.

description: Since the number of cars has grown rapidly in recent years, driving safety draws more and more public attention. Drowsy driving is one of the biggest threatens to driving safety. Therefore, a simple but robust system that can detect drowsy driving with commercial off-the-shelf devices (such as smartphones) is very necessary. With this motivation, we explore the feasibility of purely using acoustic sensors embedded in smartphones to detect drowsy driving. We first study characteristics of drowsy driving, and find some unique patterns of Doppler shift caused by three typical drowsy behaviors, i.e. nodding, yawning and operating steering wheel. We then validate our important findings through empirical analysis of the driving data collected from real driving environments. We further propose a real-time Drowsy Driving Detection system (D3-Guard) based on audio devices embedded in smartphones. In order to improve the performance of our system, we adopt an effective feature extraction method based on undersampling technique and FFT, and carefully design a high-accuracy detector based on LSTM networks for the early detection of drowsy driving. Through extensive experiments with 5 volunteer drivers in real driving environments, our system can distinguish drowsy driving actions with an average total accuracy of 93.31% in real-time. Over 80% drowsy driving actions can be detected within first 70% of action duration.

title: Implementing the Heston Option Pricing Model in Object-Oriented Cython
Creators: name: Hardin, Brandon
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: The 1973 Black-Scholes model, a revolutionary option pricing formula whose price is 'relatively close to observed prices, makes an assumption that the volatility is constant and thus, deterministic. This causes some inefficiencies and patterns in the pricing of options due to the model providing evidence of the volatility smile' of the volatility. Many scholars have suggested that the volatility should be modelled by a stochastic process and the (1993) Heston Model is one of many proposed solutions to remedy this problem. The Heston Model allows for the 'smile' by defining the volatility as a stochastic process. This thesis considers a solution to this problem by utilizing Heston’s stochastic volatility model in conjunction with Euler's discretization scheme in a simple Monte Carlo engine.
The application of this model has been implemented in object-oriented Cython, for it provides the simplicity of Python, all the while, providing C performance.
Local dynamical equivalence of certain food webs

description: An important challenge in theoretical ecology is to find good, coarse-grained representations of complex food webs. Here we use the approach of generalized modeling to show that it may be possible to formulate a coarse-graining algorithm that conserves the local dynamics of the model exactly. We show examples of food webs with a different number of species that have exactly identical local bifurcation diagrams. Based on these observations, we formulate a conjecture governing which populations of complex food webs can be grouped together into a single variable without changing the local dynamics. As an illustration we use this conjecture to show that chaotic regions generically exist in the parameter space of a class of food webs with more than three trophic levels. While our conjecture is at present only applicable to relatively special cases we believe that its applicability could be greatly extended if a more sophisticated mapping of parameters were used in the model reduction.

description: This paper describes an after-school club aimed to engage elementary students in project-based learning by integrating mathematics and literacy connections within a community- based topic. Building on students’ backgrounds and interests, researchers created the Community Super Investigators (CSI) Club as part of an after-school program to explore students’ questions by using critical mathematics and literacy skills. Fourth and fifth grade students who participated in the CSI Club chose the topic of improving the lives of homeless animals in the community. The students’ main goals were to promote the adoption of animals and lead a donation drive for the local humane society. Students were engaged because it was a topic of their interest, they had choices, and they had the opportunity to collaborate on authentic tasks. Mathematics and literacy connections were made by using iPads to research questions, documenting data and reflecting in journals, and making the content relevant with the community connection. Recommendations for improving after-school club experiences and making the content more critical are also provided.

description: We present AGN feedback in the interesting cases of two groups: AWM 4 and NGC 5044. AWM 4 is characterized by a combination of properties which seems to defy the paradigm for AGN heating in cluster cores: a flat inner temperature profile indicative of a past, major heating episode which completely erased the cool core, as testified by the high central cooling time (> 3 Gyrs) and by the high central entropy level (~ 50 keV cm^2), and yet an active central radio galaxy with extended radio lobes out to 100 kpc, revealing recent feeding of the central massive black hole. A recent Chandra observation has revealed the presence of a compact cool corona associated with the BCG, solving the puzzle of the apparent lack of low entropy gas surrounding a bright radio source, but opening the question of its origin. NGC 5044 shows in the inner 10 kpc a pair of cavities together with a set of bright filaments. The cavities are consistent with a recent AGN outburst as also indicated by the extent of dust and H_alpha emission even though the absence of extended 1.4 GHz emission remains to be explained. The soft X-ray filaments coincident with H_alpha and dust emission are cooler than those which do not correlate with optical and infrared emission, suggesting that dust-aided cooling can contribute to the overall cooling. For the first time sloshing cold fronts at the scale of a galaxy group have been observed in this object.

Model Selection with the Loss Rank Principle

Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: A key issue in statistics and machine learning is to automatically select the "right" model complexity, e.g., the number of neighbors to be averaged over in k nearest neighbor (kNN) regression or the polynomial degree in regression with polynomials. We suggest a novel principle - the Loss Rank Principle (LoRP) - for model selection in regression and classification. It is based on the loss rank, which counts how many other (fictitious) data would be fitted better. LoRP selects the model that has minimal loss rank. Unlike most penalized maximum likelihood variants (AIC, BIC, MDL), LoRP depends only on the regression functions and the loss function. It works without a stochastic noise model, and is directly applicable to any non-parametric regressor, like kNN.

description: Rivers are important ecosystems under continuous anthropogenic stresses. The hyporheic zone is a ubiquitous, reactive interface between the main channel and its surrounding sediments along the river network. We elaborate on the main physical, biological, and biogeochemical drivers and processes within the hyporheic zone that have been studied by multiple scientific disciplines for almost half a century. These previous efforts have shown that the hyporheic zone is a modulator for most metabolic stream processes and serves as a refuge and habitat for a diverse range of aquatic organisms. It also exerts a major control on river water quality by increasing the contact time with reactive environments, which in turn results in retention and transformation of nutrients, trace organic compounds, fine suspended particles, and microplastics, among others. The paper showcases the critical importance of hyporheic zones, both from a scientific and an applied perspective, and their role in ecosystem services to answer the question of the manuscript title. It identifies major research gaps in our understanding of hyporheic processes. In conclusion, we highlight the potential of hyporheic restoration to efficiently manage and reactivate ecosystem functions and services in river corridors.

Convergence acceleration of flow solvers using modal decomposition schemes
Creators: name: Mirshahi, Amirhossein
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Convergence acceleration is a crucial tool for enhancing the efficiency and accuracy of numerical algorithms. Although many numerical flow solvers yield accurate solutions, they may take a long time to converge to the desired tolerance. To address this issue, this thesis proposes a convergence acceleration scheme that employs dynamic mode decomposition (DMD) to generate an over-relaxation update for flow solvers. The DMD analysis identifies the dominant solution modes causing the slow convergence of the flow solver and relaxes them towards their steady-state by extrapolating these modes to infinity and constructing a linear combination of extrapolated sums. The thesis also proposes an automation framework that leverages a machine learning pipeline to automate the application of this DMD acceleration scheme. The pipeline evaluates the DMD-generated over-relaxation updates and assesses whether they will result in convergence acceleration or not, thus ensuring a more robust convergence acceleration framework. We demonstrate that our technique accelerates the convergence of finite-volume computations and that it can achieve instantaneous convergence for linear problems and two to five orders of magnitude reduction in residual for laminar and turbulent problems. Also we show that the automation framework can successfully automate this process and eliminate the need for any input or control of the algorithm. We also demonstrate that the automation framework can apply this technique without any user intervention. The proposed convergence acceleration framework is entirely data-driven and can be integrated into a flow solver as a module which only needs a few solution updates as its input. This scheme is particularly useful for researchers who are satisfied with their flow solver's performance but seek to accelerate it without altering their code implementation by adopting more complex time-advance schemes and time stepping methods.
Stochastic excitation of acoustic modes in stars

description: For more than ten years, solar-like oscillations have been detected and frequencies measured for a growing number of stars with various characteristics (e.g. different evolutionary stages, effective temperatures, gravities, metal abundances ...). Excitation of such oscillations is attributed to turbulent convection and takes place in the uppermost part of the convective envelope. Since the pioneering work of Goldreich & Keely (1977), more sophisticated theoretical models of stochastic excitation were developed, which differ from each other both by the way turbulent convection is modeled and by the assumed sources of excitation. We review here these different models and their underlying approximations and assumptions. We emphasize how the computed mode excitation rates crucially depend on the way turbulent convection is described but also on the stratification and the metal abundance of the upper layers of the star. In turn we will show how the seismic measurements collected so far allow us to infer properties of turbulent convection in stars.

description: Growth mindset is an important belief for students to be successful in mathematics and in their current and future lives. Solving open-ended problems also has many positive benefits for students. Little research has been conducted though on growth mindset and mathematics at the middle school level and particularly growth mindset with open-ended problems. This study explored middle school students’ mindsets before and after a four-week Saturday program that incorporated open-ended problems. We also looked at the quality of solutions developed by the students. It was found that the students generally had growth mindsets with some fixed ideas at the beginning of the study that improved to strong growth mindsets at the conclusion of the four weeks. The students also improved on their quality of solutions from the first to the last open- ended activity. Implications for the implementation and research of open-ended problems are discussed.

title: Increasing Commerce Competitiveness: Case Study on Solving Issues in the Fruit Supply Chain in the Dominican Republic, which Limit Exports, and Self-Reliance
Creators: name: Mera Rivas, Maria G
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Agriculture was the main economic pillar of the Dominican Republic from its origins. Government decisions during the 80s and 90s resulted in high imports of food products, migration of rural workers to the urban areas, loss of arable land, and disinterest from a younger generation to continue food production. This case study explains the findings from research conducted in the Dominican Republic and Georgia, USA between 2014 and 2017. The researcher interviewed major players in the fruit sector in both areas, used data from the cacao sector to analyze exports behavior, and applied Porter’s Diamond of National Advantage to the Dominican fruit sector to assess its competitiveness, and analyze growth opportunities through improvements in the fruit supply chain. The Dominican fruit sector is key for the nation’s agricultural and economic growth; its enhancement will allow the country to become more self-reliant, increase exports, and improve its citizen’s quality of life.
Primary qualitative data was collected through interviews to industry experts, observation, and field visits, by using deduction, induction and abduction, following a pragmatist philosophy. Quantitative data was obtained from reliable Dominican and international sources. Secondary data was gathered through the review of academic and professional literature, and the news. The findings show the nation has the potential and natural resources to considerably improve its economic circumstances. Strengthening of the fruit sector can be accomplished by adding value to its products, decreasing the amount of food product imports, increasing fruit product exports, providing infrastructure and education in rural areas, and aiding farmers obtain the knowledge and financial opportunities they need to grow.

description: A survey is given of recent QCD theory advances concerning the phase diagram, in particular the indications for a critical point and adjacent first order phase transition at high baryo-chemical potential, and the new ideas concerning a further phase at high $μ_{B}$, the quarkyonic matter phase. The latter state might finally explain the hadro-chemical equilibrium freeze-out points from A+A collisions at energies below SPS energy. We review several event-by-event fluctuation signals that promise to shed a light on the existence of a critical point, and we discuss its possible reflection in recent lattice QCD calculations.

description: The electronic transport properties and band structures for the graphene-based one-dimensional (1D) superlattices with periodic squared potentials are investigated. It is found that a new Dirac point is formed, which is exactly located at the energy which corresponds to the zero (volume) averaged wavenumber inside the 1D periodic potentials. The location of such a new Dirac point is robust against variations in the lattice constants, and it is only dependent on the ratio of potential widths. The zero-averaged wavenumber gap associated with the new Dirac point is insensitive to both the lattice constant and the structural disorder, and the defect mode in the zero-averaged wavenumber gap is weakly dependent on the insident angles of carriers.

description: Metallic behavior of band-insulator/ Mott-insulator interfaces was observed in artificial perovskite superlattices such as in nanoscale SrTiO3/LaTiO3 multilayers. Applying a semiclassical perspective to the parallel electronic transport we identify two major ingredients relevant for such systems: i) the quantum confinement of the conduction electrons (superlattice modulation) leads to a complex, quasi-two dimensional subband structure with both hole- and electron-like Fermi surfaces. ii) strong electron-electron interaction requires a substantial renormalization of the quasi-particle dispersion. We characterize this renormalization by two sets of parameters, namely, the quasi-particle weight and the induced particle-hole asymmetry of each partially filled subband. In our study, the quasi-particle dispersion is calculated self-consistently as function of microscopic parameters using the slave-boson mean-field approximation introduced by Kotliar and Ruckenstein. We discuss the consequences of strong local correlations on the normal-state free-carrier response in the optical conductivity and on the thermoelectric effects.

description: Quantum teleportation of a n-qubit state performed using as entangled resource a general bipartite state of 2n qubits instead of n Bell states is equivalent to a correlated Pauli channel. This provides a new characterization of such channels in terms of many-body correlation functions of the teleporting media. Our model is then generalized to the Continuous Variable case. We show that this new representation provides a relatively simple method for determining whether a correlated quantum channel is able to reliably convey quantum messages by studying the entanglement properties of the teleportation mediating system.

Audiological behavioural threshold responses to brief-tone and chirp stimuli in typical hearing adults
Creators: name: MacEwan, Sarah
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: The aim of this project was to provide normative behavioural threshold data for brief-tone and chirp stimuli, two stimuli that are used in auditory brainstem response (ABR) testing. I collected thresholds from 20 typical-hearing adults using fixed-frequency Bekesy audiometry with a 1-dB step-size. The test stimuli, 5-cycle exact Blackman-gated brief-tones and CE-chirps, were collected via both air-conduction (ER-3A inserts) and bone-conduction (B-71 oscillator) at a presentation rate of 10/s at every octave from 250 - 4000 Hz, with 6000 Hz also tested for air-conduction. I also collected brief-tones at 1000 Hz at a rate of 20/s for both air- and bone-conduction in the interest of comparing the effect of stimulation rate on threshold. Data analysis showed air-conduction chirp thresholds were a statistically significant 1.80 dB higher on average compared to brief-tone thresholds, and bone-conduction chirp thresholds were similarly significantly elevated by 2.56 dB. I found that air-conduction brief-tone thresholds did not significantly differ from the norms published by the BCEHP (Hatton, Van Maanen, & Stapells, 2022; Small & Stapells, 2017). Air conduction normative threshold results for brief-tones and chirps were significantly greater by 3.93-5.57 dB for frequencies 500 and 1000 Hz compared to previous literature (Fedke & Richter, 2007; Gøtsche-Rasmussen, Poulsen, & Elberling, 2012), although these results are generally below our a-priori definition for clinical significance of ≤5 dB. BC results were significantly lower by 7.21 – 19.67 dB compared to previous literature (Small & Stapells, 2003) for 500 through 2000 Hz, all of which fall above our definition of clinical significance. A closer look at my data revealed variable participant response patterns to the Bekesy audiometry procedure. Thus, there is a caveat to the results collected in this study, and further research is needed to explore the reliability of intra-participant response patterns in comparison to other automated and manual behavioural audiometric tests.

I particularly drew on the articles that outlined the course opportunities that could be embedded by college instructors with little or no prior experience teaching or working with elementary students as well as the articles that did not require direct access to schoolchildren in the course. I provided direct quotes and explicit descriptions as representative classroom examples, documented in the literature, for university faculty to select from and plan for implementation in their own courses. Ultimately, in this review of literature, I argue that university faculty who teach mathematics to ePTs, including those who do not have experiences in K-12 educational settings, have numerous readily available resources and classroom-based examples (from the field) to help them embed course opportunities that focus ePTs’ attention and reflection (directly and indirectly) on students’ mathematical thinking and learning. I also provide research evidence demonstrating that these types of course opportunities help to improve ePTs’ readiness to teach and preparedness to work with schoolchildren, particularly in developing their appreciation for students’ mathematical successes and challenges.

title: Energy Management System for Renewable Energy
Creators: name: Derhgawen, Ashish R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University

description: The demand for energy in our society has been increasing exponentially with our growing standard of living. The continued use of fossil fuels to meet these energy needs could lead to potentially catastrophic changes in the Earth's climate. Therefore, finding carbon-neutral energy sources and ensuring energy security are two of the biggest challenges that need to be addressed in the coming years. Recent technological innovations have finally brought us to the cusp of achieving these goals by providing cheap and reliable devices in micro-solar, smart homes , Internet of Things, etc. However, one of the biggest hurdles in the large-scale adoption of renewable energy devices is the high cost of energy storage. In this report, we describe an energy management system that uses cheap, recycled lead-acid batteries to bring down the cost of energy storage to make the adoption of renewable energy easier.

description: Quantitative analysis of the Factors Influencing College Success in Mathematics (FICSMath) Survey data indicates that high school mathematics teachers’ abilities to teach for conceptual understanding is a significant and positive predictor of student performance in single- variable college calculus. To explore these findings further, we gathered and analyzed interview data gained from a representative sample of high school precalculus teachers from across the U.S., identified by their students as requiring high levels of conceptual understanding (n = 13). Seventeen themes were identified and then combined into five overarching phenomenological themes. These overarching themes suggest that teachers who teach for high conceptual understanding (a) support relational understanding during problem solving, (b) require students to learn how to study to build on prior knowledge and learn from mistakes, (c) use mathematical language and ask critical questions to support learning, (d) focus on content knowledge necessary to make connections, and (e) use technology to support learning concepts but limit calculator use. Comparison of these results to quantitative findings further illuminate that intentional development of disciplinary knowledge, cognition, and language are noteworthy points of intersection for teachers and researchers alike.

Obbligo vaccinale, Green pass e rapporto di lavoro
Creators: name: Lazzari, Chiara
Publisher: name: Diritto della sicurezza sul lavoro
Year: 2021

description: Il saggio propone una riflessione in tema di obbligo vaccinale e obbligo di Green pass nel rapporto di lavoro, cercando, da un lato, di dipanare alcune delle principali questioni interpretative poste dall’intricata normativa sedimentatasi in materia e, dall’altro, di approfondire la problematica relazione fra disciplina emergenziale e disciplina ordinaria di prevenzione nei luoghi di lavoro. The essay focuses on the subject of vaccination obligation and Green pass obligation within the employment relationship, trying, on the one hand, to unravel some of the main interpretative questions raised by the complex legislation in the field and, on the other, to look into the problematic relationship between emergency and ordinary discipline on prevention in the workplace.

Glueballs and Mesons: the Ground States
Creators: name: Ganbold, G.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We provide a new, independent, and analytic estimate of the lowest glueball mass, and we found it at 1661 MeV within a relativistic quantum-field model based on analytic confinement. The conventional mesons and the weak decay constants are described to extend the consideration. For the spectra of two-gluon and two-quark bound states we solve the ladder Bethe-Salpeter equation. By using a minimal set of model parameters (the quark masses, the coupling constant, and the confinement scale) we obtain numerical results which are in reasonable agreement with experimental evidence in the wide range of energy scale. The model serves a reasonable framework to describe simultaneously different sectors in low-energy particle physics.

Doctoral Programs in Mathematics Education: Should Programs be Accredited?
Creators: name: Reys, Robert
Publisher: name: Journal of Mathematics Education at Teachers College
Year: 2018

description: Over several hundred different institutions in the USA have graduated people identifying a doctorate in mathematics education. Some institutions graduate people every year, other institutions graduate one person every 3-5 years. Some institutions have one faculty member, others have more than ten. There is no agreed upon common core of knowledge or requirements for a doctorate in mathematics education. This article discusses some pros and cons of accreditation, offers some direction, and hopefully will stimulate thinking about accreditation for doctoral programs in mathematics education.

Stability of Coalescence Hidden variable Fractal Interpolation Surfaces
Creators: name: Kapoor, G. P.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Dynamical Systems (math.DS)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In the present paper, the stability of Coalescence Hidden variable Fractal Interpolation Surfaces(CHFIS) is established. The estimates on error in approximation of the data generating function by CHFIS are found when there is a perturbation in independent, dependent and hidden variables. It is proved that any small perturbation in any of the variables of generalized interpolation data results in only small perturbation of CHFIS. Our results are likely to be useful in investigations of texture of surfaces arising from the simulation of surfaces of rocks, sea surfaces, clouds and similar natural objects wherein the generating function depends on more than one variable.

description: In 1847, the Mormon Church began a migration to the Great Salt Lake Basin, their Zion in the mountains. This pilgrimage was to continue for over half a century, and out of it was to come one of the truly epic stories of the western settlement. Before leaving Nauvoo, these self-styled, Saints of the modern era pledged themselves to set up a system to transport all of their members to Utah, regardless of their financial status. The vow was renewed at the October 1849 Conference held in Salt Lake City. President Heber C. Kimball, first councilor to Brigham Young, suggested that a fund be set up to help the poor to reach Utah, his proposal was accepted by a unanimous vote, and the First Presidency issued a call for contributions. During the first year, the Salt Lake Valley Saints collected $5,000. The Perpetual Emigrating Fund Company came into existence in 1851, with the power to raise funds, own property, and issue securities. The funds for the company were to be acquired entirely by donations; tobacco smokers and tea drinkers were encouraged to give up these habits and to use the money to build the Perpetual Emigrating Fund. The fund reached a total of $150,000 between 1852 and 1855, and during this period a shift in the purpose of the fund took place.

title: Computer Programs Supporting the Teaching of Statistics
Creators: name: Liu, Chien-Hwa
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1973

description: During the past few years there has been an increasing interest in developing computer packages to enhance the teaching of elementary statistics. The conventional ways of teaching statistics have used such devices as desk calculators, tables of functions, short-cut calculating formulas and electronic calculators, etc. to manipulate the involved computations. Electronic computers, in the past decade, have been broadly used in universities and colleges in many ways. It is only natural to extend the use of computers to the teaching function. Remote terminals can now be installed in any classroom and bring the computer to the students.
