description: This paper examines the dynamic behavior of city size using a distribution dynamics approach with Chinese city data for the period 1984-2010. Instead of convergence, divergence or paralleled growth, multimodality and persistence are the dominant characteristics in the distribution dynamics of Chinese prefectural cities. Moreover, initial city size matters, initially small and medium-sized cities exhibit strong tendency of convergence, while large cities show significant persistence and multimodality in the sample period. Examination on the regional city groups shows that locational fundamentals have important impact on the distribution dynamics of city size.

description: Randomized A/B comparisons of alternative pedagogical strategies or other course improvements could provide useful empirical evidence for instructor decision-making. However, traditional experiments do not provide a straightforward pathway to rapidly utilize data, increasing the chances that students in an experiment experience the best conditions. Drawing inspiration from the use of machine learning and experimentation in product development at leading technology companies, we explore how adaptive experimentation might aid continuous course improvement. In adaptive experiments, data is analyzed and utilized as different conditions are deployed to students. This can be achieved using machine learning algorithms to identify which actions are more beneficial in improving students' learning experiences and outcomes. These algorithms can then dynamically deploy the most effective conditions in subsequent interactions with students, resulting in better support for students' needs. We illustrate this approach with a case study that provides a side-by-side comparison of traditional and adaptive experiments on adding self-explanation prompts in online homework problems in a CS1 course. This work paves the way for exploring the importance of adaptive experiments in bridging research and practice to achieve continuous improvement in educational settings.

description: This project looks at a new interface to be developed by using non-orthogonal waveforms as opposed to orthogonal waveforms. It focuses on the particular non-orthogonal waveform called Generalised Frequency Division Multiplexing (GFDM), which consists of subcarrier filtered multicarrier modulation using circular convolution. This is important as the upcoming consumer environment is not well suited for orthogonality. this document reports the idea of abandoning synchronism and orthogonality altogether, thereby leading to possible problems such as crosstalk or interference, and tests if these impairmants may be optimised by a suitable transceiver structure and transmission technique. The way way in which this transmission technique will be optimised is by the comparison of various filtered GFDM signals through simulations using Matlab software. These simulations represent future proposed transmission examples and highlight the benefits of using specific GFDM filters over OFDM. The main problem to be analysed is Out of Band (OOB) emissions in each of the filters. Comarisons of different parameters in the filters, such as the roll-off factor and subcarrier/subsymbols are manipulated to illustrate positive as well as negative effects. This has allowed an optimal solution to the problem at hand. This optimal solution is revealed using a prototype XIA 4th order filter using full roll-off and maximum subsymbols. In doing so, the performance of the GFDM signal is increased via less interference. Overall, a clearer understanding of the proposed waveform is presented and recommended.

description: We investigate the impact of inelastic collisions between dark matter (DM) and heavy cosmic ray (CR) nuclei on CR propagation. We approximate the fragmentation cross-sections for DM-CR collisions using collider-measured proton-nuclei scattering cross-sections, allowing us to assess how these collisions affect the spectra of CR Boron and Carbon. We derive new CR spectra from DM-CR collisions by incorporating their cross-sections into the source terms and solving the diffusion equation for the complete network of reactions involved in generating secondary species. In a specific example with a coupling strength of $b_χ=0.1$ and a DM mass of $m_χ=0.1$ GeV, considering a simplified scenario where DM interacts exclusively with Oxygen, a notable modification in the Boron-to-Carbon spectrum due to the DM-CR interaction is observed. Particularly, the peak within the spectrum, spanning from $0.1$ GeV to $10$ GeV, experiences an enhancement of approximately 1.5 times. However, in a more realistic scenario where DM particles interact with all CRs, this peak can be amplified to twice its original value.Utilizing the latest data from AMS-02 and DAMPE on the Boron-to-Carbon ratio, we estimate a 95\% upper limit for the effective inelastic cross-section of DM-proton as a function of DM mass. Our findings reveal that at $m_χ\simeq 2$ MeV, the effective inelastic cross-section between DM and protons must be less than $\mathcal{O}(10^{-32})~{\rm cm}^2$.

Observational signatures of linear warps in circumbinary discs

description: In recent years an increasing number of observational studies have hinted at the presence of warps in protoplanetary discs, however a general comprehensive description of observational diagnostics of warped discs was missing. We performed a series of 3D SPH hydrodynamic simulations and combined them with 3D radiative transfer calculations to study the observability of warps in circumbinary discs, whose plane is misaligned with respect to the orbital plane of the central binary. Our numerical hydrodynamic simulations confirm previous analytical results on the dependence of the warp structure on the viscosity and the initial misalignment between the binary and the disc. To study the observational signatures of warps we calculate images in the continuum at near-infrared and sub-millimetre wavelengths and in the pure rotational transition of CO in the sub-millimetre. Warped circumbinary discs show surface brightness asymmetry in near-infrared scattered light images as well as in optically thick gas lines at sub-millimetre wavelengths. The asymmetry is caused by self-shadowing of the disc by the inner warped regions, thus the strength of the asymmetry depends on the strength of the warp. The projected velocity field, derived from line observations, shows characteristic deviations, twists and a change in the slope of the rotation curve, from that of an unperturbed disc. In extreme cases even the direction of rotation appears to change in the disc inwards of a characteristic radius. The strength of the kinematical signatures of warps decreases with increasing inclination. The strength of all warp signatures decreases with decreasing viscosity.

Expertise in visual search of medical and non-medical images

Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis aims to understand the crucial cognitive mechanisms that underpin visual search in medical images and the influence of expertise. Research suggests that experienced radiologists use information from an initial glance at an image to set the basis of their diagnosis. This research explores the information that can be extracted from images regarding the presence and location of a target. I use two stimulus types: real medical images on which I test both novices and expert radiologists, and natural scenes as a model for radiologist search. In Chapter 1, I present an overview of the literature relevant to these aims. Chapter 2 presents two experiments where I showed that a target could be both detected and located in a natural scene after a brief presentation (33 ms), but that visual clutter interferes with performance in a predictable way. In Chapter 3, I showed radiologists were able to detect and localise an abnormality in a mammogram presented for 250 ms at levels better than guessing.Crucially I demonstrated that a normal patient variant, high levels of breast density,affects performance. I conducted an in-depth analysis which emphasises the importance of considering factors such as stimulus variability, response imprecision, and participant guessing. In Chapter 4, I investigated the extent to which expertise guides attention based on prior experience with the prevalence of cancer, using a novel cueing paradigm where a chest radiograph (with or without a suspicious nodule) formed a prime. For naïve observers, an artificially boosted nodule in the prime radiograph guided attention, validating the task. Radiologists viewing true, more subtle nodules did not show the same effect, nor did they show any attentional guidance from cancer prevalence. However, more experienced radiologists seemed to be more sensitive to the subtle nodules than less experienced radiologists, suggesting that viexpertise might boost nodule salience. Finally, in Chapter 5, the implications of these findings are discussed in a broader context along with suggestions for areas of future research. Overall, my research shows that there is a large amount of information available after observers first look at a scene or medical image; more than previously thought. Further, the visual complexity of the display affects performance. Together, the experiments presented in this thesis advance the scientific understanding of the type of information available in the first glance and has clear implications for radiologist teaching and clinical benefits.

description: Composite materials comprised of ferroelectric nanoparticles in a dielectric matrix are being actively investigated for a variety of functional properties attractive for a wide range of novel electronic and energy harvesting devices. However, the dependence of these functionalities on shapes, sizes, orientation and mutual arrangement of ferroelectric particles is currently not fully understood. In this study, we utilize a time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau approach combined with coupled-physics finite-element-method based simulations to elucidate the behavior of polarization in isolated spherical PbTiO3 or BaTiO3 nanoparticles embedded in a dielectric medium, including air. The equilibrium polarization topology is strongly affected by particle diameter, as well as the choice of inclusion and matrix materials, with monodomain, vortex-like and multidomain patterns emerging for various combinations of size and materials parameters. This leads to radically different polarization vs electric field responses, resulting in highly tunable size-dependent dielectric properties that should be possible to observe experimentally. Our calculations show that there is a critical particle size below which ferroelectricity vanishes. For the PbTiO3 particle, this size is 2 and 3.4 nm, respectively, for high- and low-permittivity media. For the BaTiO3 particle, it is ~3.6 nm regardless of the medium dielectric strength.

Year: 2022

description: Autonomous vehicle control systems are becoming more and more reliable, efficient and safe than human drivers as time elapses. Thi is a consequence of improved, low power, and high speed embedded processors, advanced high-level development platforms, open source maps and software, high quality, low cost sensors and satellite navigation. This thesis features an investigation of some simplistic control methods used for a miniature vehicle needing to navigate a physical grid with walols in a known, mapped area. The purpose of this thesis is to demonstrate and explain some of the elementary concepts of autonomous control on the most basic level of logic and control. While the vehicle presented is simple, its design would suit many applications, such as factory floor transportation, or a mail delivery system in a building. Consequently, this thesis will be focused on a simplistic, low cost implementations of such a type of system. It will not, however, focus in detail on modern technologies and advanced control systems, such as for example, autonomous road driving. The vehicle developed for this project was designed as an entry in the 2017 NI ARC (National Instruments Autonomous Robotics Competition).

description: We investigate from first principles the field-like spin-orbit torques (SOTs) in a Ag$_{2}$Bi-terminated Ag(111) film grown on ferromagnetic Fe(110). We find that a large part of the SOT arises from the spin-orbit interaction (SOI) in the Ag$_{2}$Bi layer far away from the Fe layers. These results clearly hint at a long range spin transfer in the direction perpendicular to the film that does not originate in the spin Hall effect. In order to bring evidence of the non-local character of the computed SOT, we show that the torque acting on the Fe layers can be engineered by the introduction of Bi vacancies in the Ag$_{2}$Bi layer. Overall, we find a drastic dependence of the SOT on the disorder type, which we explain by a complex interplay of different contributions to the SOT in the Brillouin zone.

description: We observe a large variety of robots in terms of their bodies, sensors, and actuators. Given the commonalities in the skill sets, teaching each skill to each different robot independently is inefficient and not scalable when the large variety in the robotic landscape is considered. If we can learn the correspondences between the sensorimotor spaces of different robots, we can expect a skill that is learned in one robot can be more directly and easily transferred to other robots. In this paper, we propose a method to learn correspondences among two or more robots that may have different morphologies. To be specific, besides robots with similar morphologies with different degrees of freedom, we show that a fixed-based manipulator robot with joint control and a differential drive mobile robot can be addressed within the proposed framework. To set up the correspondence among the robots considered, an initial base task is demonstrated to the robots to achieve the same goal. Then, a common latent representation is learned along with the individual robot policies for achieving the goal. After the initial learning stage, the observation of a new task execution by one robot becomes sufficient to generate a latent space representation pertaining to the other robots to achieve the same task. We verified our system in a set of experiments where the correspondence between robots is learned (1) when the robots need to follow the same paths to achieve the same task, (2) when the robots need to follow different trajectories to achieve the same task, and (3) when complexities of the required sensorimotor trajectories are different for the robots. We also provide a proof-of-the-concept realization of correspondence learning between a real manipulator robot and a simulated mobile robot.

description: Theoretical predictions have lead to the experimental synthesis of new low dimensional layered structures. Herein we show for the very first time that compounds of carbon monosulfide exhibit a great variety of layered nanostructures, such as chains arrays, monolayers, and thin films. We find that the chains arrays are the most stable because they are mainly dimensionality-driven by the $sp^2$ hybridization of sulfur and carbon orbitals. Furthermore, the chains arrays are direct gap semiconductors. In contrast to thin films, the monolayers are stable at room temperature with a semiconductor phase followed in energy by a metallic phase. Then, we achieve a semiconductor-to-metal phase transition in carbon sulfur monolayers, which can be driven by strain engineering controlling conductivity and carrier mobility.

description: Notre but original était de trouver plusieurs façons de développer l’autonomie des élèves. Cependant, après discussion avec notre directeur de mémoire, nous avons changé de question de recherche. On est finalement partis sur les validations mutuelles des connaissances des élèves. Ainsi, nous avons dévié de notre question de base tout en abordant le même thème, Dans ce mémoire, nous explicitons ce qu’est ce système des arbres de connaissances et comment nous l’avons mis en place dans nos classes de stage. En effet, nous n’avons pas exactement tout fait pareil. Nous expliquons ensuite comment on a vécu cette expérience et ce que l’on a pu observer. Une séquence enseignée de manière « traditionnelle » a également été faite et présentée afin que l’on puisse comparer les deux dispositifs. Tout ceci est accompagné de photos prises classe afin de mieux illustrer nos propos. Une fois cela fait, nous abordons comment calculer la progression des apprentissages des élèves dans ce système ainsi que dans le système « traditionnel » dans le but de comprendre lequel des deux systèmes est le plus performant. Une analyse des résultats des deux classes en général puis de certains élèves en particulier est faite. En parallèle, nous évaluons également l’autonomie des élèves dans ce dispositif. En fin de mémoire, nous revenons sur les éléments que l’on changera pour les prochaines mises en place des arbres de connaissance.

Creators: name: Centro de Pensamiento Medicamentos, Información y Poder
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2004

description: Se presenta un análisis comparativo de cuatro proyectos de ley relacionados con la reforma del sistema de salud en Colombia. Estos proyectos son impulsados por diferentes partidos políticos: el Centro Democrático, Cambio Radical, y una coalición de los partidos Verde, Dignidad y Nuevo Liberalismo, así como una propuesta del gobierno nacional.

El boletín aborda varios temas clave, incluyendo la gobernanza del sistema de salud, el aseguramiento, la financiación, el acceso a medicamentos y tecnologías, y el periodo de transición para implementar las reformas. Se destacan las diferencias en las propuestas, especialmente en cuanto a la gestión del riesgo financiero, la estructura de las entidades encargadas de la salud, y la necesidad de garantizar la suficiencia de la Unidad de Pago por Capitación (UPC).

Además, se menciona la importancia de establecer un Consejo Nacional de Salud y se discuten las implicaciones de cada propuesta para mejorar la atención y resolver los problemas financieros del sistema de salud. El documento concluye con la expectativa de que la reforma se lleve a cabo, dada la urgencia de mejorar las condiciones de salud de la población colombiana.

description: We present the results of a Spitzer/Herschel infrared photometric analysis of the largest (716) and highest-redshift (z=1.8) sample of Brightest Cluster Galaxies (BCGs), those from the Spitzer Adaptation of the Red-Sequence Cluster Survey (SpARCS). Given the tension that exists between model predictions and recent observations of BCGs at z<2, we aim to uncover the dominant physical mechanism(s) guiding the stellar-mass buildup of this special class of galaxies, the most massive in the Universe uniquely residing at the centres of galaxy clusters. Through a comparison of their stacked, broadband, infrared spectral energy distributions (SEDs) to a variety of SED model templates in the literature, we identify the major sources of their infrared energy output, in multiple redshift bins between 0 < z < 1.8. We derive estimates of various BCG physical parameters from the stacked νLν SEDs, from which we infer a star-forming, as opposed to a 'red and dead' population of galaxies, producing tens to hundreds of solar masses per year down to z=0.5. This discovery challenges the accepted belief that BCGs should only passively evolve through a series of gas-poor, minor mergers since z~4 (De Lucia & Blaizot 2007), but agrees with the improved semi-analytic model of hierarchical structure formation of Tonini et al. (2012), which predicts star-forming BCGs throughout the epoch considered. We attribute the star formation inferred from the stacked infrared SEDs to both major and minor 'wet' (gas-rich) mergers, based on a lack of key signatures (to date) of the cluster cooling flows to which BCG star formation is typically attributed, as well as a number of observational and simulation-based studies that support this scenario.

description: Approximate analytical solutions of a two-term potential are studied for the relativistic wave equations, namely, for the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations. The results are obtained by solving of a Riemann-type equation whose solution can be written in terms of hypergeometric function $\,_{2}F_{1}(a,b;c;z)$. The energy eigenvalue equations and the corresponding normalized wave functions are given both for two wave equations. The results for some special cases including the Manning-Rosen potential, the Hulthén potential and the Coulomb potential are also discussed by setting the parameters as required.

description: Shannon entropy is the shortest average codeword length a lossless compressor can achieve by encoding i.i.d. symbols. However, there are cases in which the objective is to minimize the \textit{exponential} average codeword length, i.e. when the cost of encoding/decoding scales exponentially with the length of codewords. The optimum is reached by all strategies that map each symbol $x_i$ generated with probability $p_i$ into a codeword of length $\ell^{(q)}_D(i)=-\log_D\frac{p_i^q}{\sum_{j=1}^Np_j^q}$. This leads to the minimum exponential average codeword length, which equals the Rényi, rather than Shannon, entropy of the source distribution. We generalize the established Arithmetic Coding (AC) compressor to this framework. We analytically show that our generalized algorithm provides an exponential average length which is arbitrarily close to the Rényi entropy, if the symbols to encode are i.i.d.. We then apply our algorithm to both simulated (i.i.d. generated) and real (a piece of Wikipedia text) datasets. While, as expected, we find that the application to i.i.d. data confirms our analytical results, we also find that, when applied to the real dataset (composed by highly correlated symbols), our algorithm is still able to significantly reduce the exponential average codeword length with respect to the classical `Shannonian' one. Moreover, we provide another justification of the use of the exponential average: namely, we show that by minimizing the exponential average length it is possible to minimize the probability that codewords exceed a certain threshold length. This relation relies on the connection between the exponential average and the cumulant generating function of the source distribution, which is in turn related to the probability of large deviations. We test and confirm our results again on both simulated and real datasets.

description: Synchrotron X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy have been used to study chemical reactions of molecular hydrogen (H2) with sulfur (S) at high pressures. We find theoretically predicted Cccm and Im-3m H3S to be the reaction products at 50 and 140 GPa, respectively. Im-3m H3S is a stable crystalline phase above 140 GPa and it transforms to R3m H3S on pressure release below 140 GPa. The latter phase is (meta)stable down to at least 70 GPa where it transforms to Cccm H3S upon annealing (T<1300 K) to overcome the kinetic hindrance. Cccm H3S has an extended structure with symmetric hydrogen bonds at 50 GPa and upon decompression it experiences a transformation to a molecular mixed H2S-H2 structure below 40 GPa without any apparent change in the crystal symmetry.

Multilingualism of high school students in Yogyakarta, Indonesia: the language shift and maintenance

description: This present study examines the language choices and attitudes of multilingual high school students in Yogyakarta and considers the impact of factors, such as language prestige, ethnic and cultural identity, national pride, educational success and global competitiveness, on the maintenance or shift of their heritage language. Data were collected using student and teacher surveys, interviews with principals, observations and documents. The main participants were 12-18 year-old high school students. Yogyakarta’s population of 61,016 students across 149 schools (BPS, 2014b) is represented by a sample group of 1039 students from 10 schools. Examination of the languages used by the young multilinguals in six domains reveals that Javanese and Bahasa Indonesia compete in the home, in schools and on the street, especially in peer-to-peer interactions. However, despite its large number of speakers, use of Javanese in other domains is endangered. Statistical measures of language proficiency and the inner functions of bi- and multilingualism reveal the extent of the shift away from Javanese, and provide insight into the relationships between their choice of language and their perceived local and national identity. The factors that influence the shift include: the government’s national language policy which has gradually had a negative impact on local languages, including Javanese; exposure to languages in the home, school and media; settlement patterns; the difficulty of learning a language and its perceived benefits; and the attitudes toward particular languages. This present study also includes proposals to revitalise Javanese. The strategies stress the significant role of education in local government language policy. They also rely on intergenerational transmission, a focus rarely discussed in-depth by Indonesians, and the importance of raising parents’ awareness of family language planning, while maintaining the value of English so that young people become competent additive multilinguals.
