description: Data-driven discovery of partial differential equations (PDEs) has attracted increasing attention in recent years. Although significant progress has been made, certain unresolved issues remain. For example, for PDEs with high-order derivatives, the performance of existing methods is unsatisfactory, especially when the data are sparse and noisy. It is also difficult to discover heterogeneous parametric PDEs where heterogeneous parameters are embedded in the partial differential operators. In this work, a new framework combining deep-learning and integral form is proposed to handle the above-mentioned problems simultaneously, and improve the accuracy and stability of PDE discovery. In the framework, a deep neural network is firstly trained with observation data to generate meta-data and calculate derivatives. Then, a unified integral form is defined, and the genetic algorithm is employed to discover the best structure. Finally, the value of parameters is calculated, and whether the parameters are constants or variables is identified. Numerical experiments proved that our proposed algorithm is more robust to noise and more accurate compared with existing methods due to the utilization of integral form. Our proposed algorithm is also able to discover PDEs with high-order derivatives or heterogeneous parameters accurately with sparse and noisy data.
Hitting below the belt : a phenomenological exploration of the adult’s experience of living with irritable bowel syndrome
Creators: name: Hilliard, Janice Edith
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The purpose of this study was to gain a fuller understanding of the adult's experience of living with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) from his or her perspective. Four adults, recruited through an IBS support group, were interviewed using Colaizzi's method of phenomenological inquiry. Analysis of the data revealed 9 themes which identified the symptomatological characteristics of the participants; the trajectory of the disorder; seeking professional help - medical doctors, psychologists, and alternative practitioners; the psychologic impact of IBS; the impact of IBS on relationships with others; the impact of IBS on daily life; and making meaning. Together, these themes revealed that IBS encompassed all realms of the participants lives: the emotional, social, physical, spiritual, intellectual and financial. The participants, nevertheless, refused to put their lives on hold, but rather, got on with life.
A nascent definiteness marker in Yokot'an Maya
Creators: name: Pico, Maurice
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: This paper examines the characteristics of a nascent definiteness marker in the
 Yokot’an language from the Mayan family from both a synchronic and diachronic
 perspective. The paper examines the contemporary distribution of the determiner
 ni, comparing it to that of the enclitic ba, which roughly corresponds to a topic
 marker. It employs Centering Theory to analyze oral materials, concluding that
 the use of the two particles is partially motivated by the processing cost of atten-
 tional shifts. Given that the determiner ni has been argued to develop from the
 distal demonstrative jini through grammaticalization, a diachronic perspective is
 also considered. The different synchronic uses of the determiner illustrated in this
 paper are then compared to the grammaticalization stages proposed for the devel-
 opment of definite articles. Both approaches ultimately suggest that ni conveys
 definiteness based on discourse-salience, not identifiability. The diachronic analy-
 sis further suggests that ni has started to bear some contrastive meaning related
 to reference in restricted contexts (reference to kinds in generic statements and
 specific reference in negative existential statements), indicating that the use of ni
 has spread beyond a pure topicality marker. Furthermore, the synchronic textual
 analysis in terms of Centering Theory clarifies some of the claims in Grammat-
 icalization Theory regarding the early stages of definite articles by linking their
 emergence to the need of flagging attentional shifts in utterance-by-utterance pro-
 cessing of discourse.

Στους κοκκώδεις γεωλογικούς σχηματισμούς αναπτύσσονται επάλληλα υδροφόρα στρώματα των οποίων το πάχος ποικίλει. Για τον προσδιορισμό της πιεζομετρίας του υδροφορέα χρησιμοποιήθηκαν μετρήσεις που έγιναν από το Ι.Γ.Μ.Ε. κατά τα έτη 1997 – 1999 σε 71 γεωτρήσεις της περιοχής. Τα μετεωρολογικά στοιχεία προέκυψαν από τους σταθμούς Ελασσόνας, Λιβαδίου και Μαγούλας. Η πιεζομετρική στάθμη του υδροφορέα κυμαίνεται από τα +230 έως τα +270m ενώ οι ετήσιες εποχιακές διακυμάνσεις τις ανέρχονται στα 5m. Η ροή των υπογείων υδάτων έχει κύρια διεύθυνση από τα ΒΔ προς τα ΝΑ και από τα Δυτικά προς τα ΝΑ δηλαδή προς τον καρστικό υδροφορέα. Βάση αυτών γίνεται εφαρμογή του κώδικα Modflow στην λεκάνη, με το πρόγραμμα GMS. Σκοπός αυτής είναι η προσομοίωση της ροής των υπογείων νερών, η εκτίμηση της ποσοτικής κατάστασης του υδροφορέα υπό το καθεστώς διαφόρων διαχειριστικών σεναρίων και ο προσδιορισμός του κινδύνου μείωσης των αποθεμάτων του υπογείου νερού.
description: A study was carried out in Elassona – Tsaritsani basin (Central Greece), covering a total area of 22,36 km2, to determine hydrogeological conditions of the alluvial aquifer. The area is characterized by intensive agriculture. A multiple confined aquifer system is developed in alluvial deposits, which depth varies. Groundwater levels fluctuations during the period 1997 -1999 are presented, using measurements at 71 boreholes of the basin. Meteorological data emerged by the stations of Elassona, Livadiou and Magoulas. The water table elevation range between +230 and +270 m (a.s.l.) The draw-down of the groundwater level between the end and the beginning of the wet period is 5m. Ground water flow form NW to SE and from West to SE to the karstic aquifer. All these data for the basin, applied in Modflow code with GMS program. The point of this was the simulation of the groundwater flow, the calculation of aquifers quantitative case with some speculative scenarios and definition the decrease danger of groundwater reserves

description: A recent HyperCP observation of three events in the decay Sigma^+ -> p mu^+ mu^- is suggestive of a new particle with mass 214.3 MeV. In order to confront models that contain a light Higgs boson with this observation, it is necessary to know the Higgs production rate in hyperon decay. The contribution to this rate from penguin-like two-quark operators has been considered before and found to be too large. We point out that there are additional four-quark contributions to this rate that could be comparable in size with the two-quark contributions, and that could bring the total rate to the observed level in some models. To this effect we implement the low-energy theorems that dictate the couplings of light Higgs bosons to hyperons at leading order in chiral perturbation theory. We consider the cases of scalar and pseudoscalar Higgs bosons in the standard model and in its two-Higgs-doublet extensions to illustrate the challenges posed by existing experimental constraints and suggest possible avenues for models to satisfy them.

description: We introduce quantum-K ($QK$), a measure of the descriptive complexity of density matrices using classical prefix-free Turing machines and show that the initial segments of weak Solovay random and quantum Schnorr random states are incompressible in the sense of $QK$. Many properties enjoyed by prefix-free Kolmogorov complexity ($K$) have analogous versions for $QK$; notably a counting condition. Several connections between Solovay randomness and $K$, including the Chaitin type characterization of Solovay randomness, carry over to those between weak Solovay randomness and $QK$. We work towards a Levin-Schnorr type characterization of weak Solovay randomness in terms of $QK$. Schnorr randomness has a Levin-Schnorr characterization using $K_C$; a version of $K$ using a computable measure machine, $C$. We similarly define $QK_C$, a version of $QK$. Quantum Schnorr randomness is shown to have a Levin-Schnorr and a Chaitin type characterization using $QK_C$. The latter implies a Chaitin type characterization of classical Schnorr randomness using $K_C$.

description: As an alternative to the Dirichlet counterterms prescription, I introduce the concept of Kounterterms as the boundary terms with explicit dependence on the extrinsic curvature K_{ij} that regularize the AdS gravity action. Instead of a Dirichlet boundary condition on the metric, a suitable choice of the boundary conditions --compatible with any asymptotically AdS (AAdS) spacetime-- ensures a finite action principle for all odd dimensions. Background-independent conserved quantities are obtained as Noether charges associated to asymptotic symmetries and their general expression appears naturally split in two parts. The first one gives the correct mass and angular momentum for AAdS black holes and vanishes identically for globally AdS spacetimes. Thus, the second part is a covariant formula for the vacuum energy in AAdS spacetimes and reproduces the results obtained by the Dirichlet counterterms method in a number of cases. It is also shown that this Kounterterms series regularizes the Euclidean action and recovers the correct black hole thermodynamics in odd dimensions.

Η παγκόσμια και βαθύτατη διείσδυση των δικτών επικοινωνιών (με κυρίαρχο το Ίντερνετ) προσφέρει μια νέα πλατφόρμα με κύριους δρώντες τους ιδιώτες και ιδιωτικές εταιρίες και ιδρύματα, που τους δίνει τη δύναμη de facto να γίνονται πηγές κανόνων διεθνούς δικαίου επηρεάζοντας την ίδια την αρχιτεκτονική των δικτύων, η οποία με τη σειρά της φέρει στοιχεία κανόνων δικαίου. Ταυτόχρονα, τα εγγενή χαρακτηριστικά των δικτύων δίνουν μια κατεύθυνση στο νόμο που γεννιέται μέσα σ' αυτά.

description: According to the traditional approach international law rules are created by states. Only recently and in rare cases have some publicists recognised a lawmaking competence to non-governmental organisations, and only to the extend allowed by states. The deep and global spread of communications networks (most notably of the Internet) offers a new platform where the main actors are individuals and private corporations and institutions, which allows them to become sources of international law rules by affecting the architecture of the networks, which in turn constitutes a legal regime of its own. At the same time, the innate characteristics of networks give a direction to the laws that are being created in their frames. However, despite the new possibilities they open up to the general public, networks today do not foster a self-governing model in a direct e-democracy scheme.

title: Measuring the Value of Conceptual Modeling a Return on Investment (ROI) Analysis
Creators: name: Brelsford, Jeffrey Alan
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2013

description: This thesis presents a method for calculating the return on investment (ROI) of conceptual modeling. Conceptual modeling as it relates to Modeling and Simulation (M&S) studies is a process that abstracts a model of a real or proposed system to be subsequently used for developing computer models. The conceptual modeling process is a critical constituent in an M&S project because it produces the central reference for building the computer model. Computer models require formal logic to carry out procedures, and consistent arguments in formal logic are crucial for the model to be useful. Not only does formal logic provide the underpinning of the final computer model, but it can also be used to detect logical errors during conceptual modeling. Through the use of formal logic via an ontological model, conceptual modeling can have a quantitative value assigned to it based on the errors uncovered. The value is in terms of time saved from otherwise searching for inconsistencies during the testing phase. The investment is in terms of time consumed by querying the ontological model. The proposed method will benefit researchers and decision makers by adding to the dearth of key performance indicators for Modeling and Simulation (M&S) in general and conceptual modeling in particular.

description: Global Positioning System (GPS) and inertial measurement unit (IMU) sensors are commonly integrated using the extended Kalman filter (EKF), for achieving better navigation performance. However, because of nonlinearity, the performance of the EKF is affected by the initial state estimation errors, and the navigation solutions, including the attitude, diverge rapidly as the initial errors increase. This paper analyzes the data obtained from an outdoor experiment, and investigates the effect of the initial errors on the attitude estimation performance using EKF, which is used in loosely coupled low-cost smartphone GPS/IMU sensors.

description: Abstract

The study aims to highlighting and enlightening the use of « contrast water therapy » technique and « cold water bath » after the maximum strength training quotas of handball players of the elite level. And that’s via relying on « immersion process protocol » in water with different degrees, in which it helps in recovering from burden of training loads quotas .To apply this study and reach its goals , the researchers used the « descriptive approach » since it fits the subject’s nature,in which they rely on a questionnaire consists of three (3) parts and twenty one (21) statements distributed on the sample of the required study which is the « coaches of the excellent national section » (15 coach). The researchers used in the statistical study on percentage and chi-square test for goodnessfit, through which a set of results were reached. After analysis they found: the most of the excellent national section coaches used these two techniques (2) in the recovery process after training maximum strength. And at the end of the study. The researchers recommended about other studies on how to apply the two (2) techniques (technologies) and their Long-term effects.
Definiteness across languages and in L2 acquisition
Creators: name: Le Bruyn, Bert
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: This paper presents evidence suggesting that article-less languages are not created
 equal and that this influences how native speakers of these languages acquire article languages like English. The evidence suggests that Mandarin learners of English
 do not unequivocally bear out the predictions of the Fluctuation Hypothesis, unlike learners of English with e.g. Korean, Russian and Japanese as an L1. I propose
 a research program that approaches articles as a syntax/semantics interface phenomenon. The program considers the syntax/semantics interface of definiteness in
 its entirety and makes no a priori assumptions about how it is best analysed. Rather,
 it adopts a data-driven comparative approach with multiple L1s that allows to give
 a fine-grained answer to the question how L1 influence plays out for definiteness.

description: Semileptonic $B$($B_s, B_c$) decays are investigated systematically in the light-cone QCD sum rules. Special emphasis is put on the LCSR calculation on weak form factors with an adequate chiral current correlator, which turns out to be particularly effective to control the pollution by higher twist components of spectator mesons. The result for each channel depends on the distribution amplitude of the the producing meson. The leading twist distribution amplitudes of the related heavy mesons and charmonium are worked out by a model approach in the reasonable way. A practical scenario is suggested to understand the behavior of weak form factors in the whole kinematically accessible ranges. The decay widths and branching ratios are estimated for several $B$($B_c$) decay modes of current interest.

description: Quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect appears in ferromagnetic topological insulators (FMTI) when a Dirac mass gap opens in the spectrum of the topological surface states (SS). Unaccountably, although the mean mass gap can exceed 28 meV (or ~320 K), the QAH effect is frequently only detectable at temperatures below 1 K. Using atomic-resolution Landau level spectroscopic imaging, we compare the electronic structure of the archetypal FMTI Cr_0.08(Bi_0.1Sb_0.9)_1.92Te_3 to that of its non-magnetic parent (Bi_0.1Sb_0.9)_2Te_3, to explore the cause. In (Bi_0.1Sb_0.9)_2Te_3, we find spatially random variations of the Dirac energy. Statistically equivalent Dirac energy variations are detected in Cr_0.08(Bi_0.1Sb_0.9)_1.92Te_3 with concurrent but uncorrelated Dirac mass gap disorder. These two classes of SS electronic disorder conspire to drastically suppress the minimum mass gap to below 100 μeV for nanoscale regions separated by <1 μm. This fundamentally limits the fully quantized anomalous Hall effect in Sb_2Te_3-based FMTI materials to very low temperatures.

description: We study the stability of Bose-Einstein condensates with superfluid currents in a one-dimensional periodic potential. By using the Kronig-Penney model, the condensate and Bogoliubov bands are analytically calculated and the stability of condensates in a periodic potential is discussed. The Landau and dynamical instabilities occur in a Kronig-Penney potential when the quasimomentum of the condensate exceeds certain critical values as in a sinusoidal potential. It is found that the onsets of the Landau and dynamical instabilities coincide with the point where the perfect transmission of low energy excitations through each potential barrier is forbidden. The Landau instability is caused by the excitations with small $q$ and the dynamical instability is caused by the excitations with $q=π/a$ at their onsets, where $q$ is the quasimomentum of excitation and $a$ is the lattice constant. A swallow-tail energy loop appears at the edge of the first condensate band when the mean-field energy is sufficiently larger than the strength of the periodic potential. We find that the upper portion of the swallow-tail is always dynamically unstable, but the second Bogoliubov band has a phonon spectrum reflecting the positive effective mass.

description: NEID is a high-resolution optical spectrograph on the WIYN 3.5-m telescope at Kitt Peak National Observatory and will soon join the new generation of extreme precision radial velocity instruments in operation around the world. We plan to use the instrument to conduct the NEID Earth Twin Survey (NETS) over the course of the next 5 years, collecting hundreds of observations of some of the nearest and brightest stars in an effort to probe the regime of Earth-mass exoplanets. Even if we take advantage of the extreme instrumental precision conferred by NEID, it will remain difficult to disentangle the weak (~10 cm s$^{-1}$) signals induced by such low-mass, long-period exoplanets from stellar noise for all but the quietest host stars. In this work, we present a set of quantitative selection metrics which we use to identify an initial NETS target list consisting of stars conducive to the detection of exoplanets in the regime of interest. We also outline a set of observing strategies with which we aim to mitigate uncertainty contributions from intrinsic stellar variability and other sources of noise.

description: Obtaining data with meaningful labels is often costly and error-prone. In this situation, semi-supervised learning (SSL) approaches are interesting, as they leverage assumptions about the unlabeled data to make up for the limited amount of labels. However, in real-world situations, we cannot assume that the labeling process is infallible, and the accuracy of many SSL classifiers decreases significantly in the presence of label noise. In this work, we introduce the LGC_LVOF, a leave-one-out filtering approach based on the Local and Global Consistency (LGC) algorithm. Our method aims to detect and remove wrong labels, and thus can be used as a preprocessing step to any SSL classifier. Given the propagation matrix, detecting noisy labels takes O(cl) per step, with c the number of classes and l the number of labels. Moreover, one does not need to compute the whole propagation matrix, but only an $l$ by $l$ submatrix corresponding to interactions between labeled instances. As a result, our approach is best suited to datasets with a large amount of unlabeled data but not many labels. Results are provided for a number of datasets, including MNIST and ISOLET. LGCLVOF appears to be equally or more precise than the adapted gradient-based filter. We show that the best-case accuracy of the embedding of LGCLVOF into LGC yields performance comparable to the best-case of $\ell_1$-based classifiers designed to be robust to label noise. We provide a heuristic to choose the number of removed instances.

description: This report documents the installation and performance of a 1219 mm (48-inch) corrugated smooth lined polyethylene (HDPE) pipe installed during reconstruction of US 127 in Owen County. The pipe installed was manufactured by Advanced Drainage Systems, Inc., and is designated as ADS N-12. pipe.  The culvert was installed in a 6-meter (20-foot) high embankment. The culvert pipe was installed in two sequences. The first half of the structure was bedded and backfilled with No. 8 stone and the second half of the structure was bedded and backfilled with pipe sand (crushed limestone).  The pipe appears to be performing well. The average deflection is approximately 1.0 to 1.5 percent. The maximum deflection recorded was 2.5 percent.

description: Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) account for 40% of hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). As 20 to 50% of hospitalized patients receive catheters, CAUTIs are one of the most common HAIs, resulting in increased morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. Candida albicans is the second most common CAUTI uropathogen, yet relative to its bacterial counterparts, little is known about how fungal CAUTIs are established. Here, we show that the catheterized bladder environment induces Efg1- and fibrinogen (Fg)–dependent biofilm formation that results in CAUTI. In addition, we identify the adhesin Als1 as the critical fungal factor for C. albicans Fg-urine biofilm formation. Furthermore, we show that in the catheterized bladder, a dynamic and open system, both filamentation and attachment are required, but each by themselves are not sufficient for infection. Our study unveils the mechanisms required for fungal CAUTI establishment, which may aid in the development of future therapies to prevent these infections.

Ιδιαίτερη έμφαση δόθηκε στην ταυτοποίηση των πτητικών συστατικών που συνεισφέρουν στο άρωμα.Για την παραλαβή των πτητικών συστατικών από τα δείγματα χρησιμοποιήθηκε η τεχνική της μικροεκχύλισης στερεάς φάσης (SPME). Για το διαχωρισμό και την ταυτοποίησή τους χρησιμοποιήθηκε η τεχνική της αέριας χρωματογραφίας.Ως ανιχνευτές χρησιμοποιήθηκαν το φασματόμετρο μάζας (GC-MS) και ο ανιχνευτής ιονισμού φλόγας (FID). Για να διερευνηθεί ο αριθμός των πτητικών συστατικών που συνεισφέρουν εντονότερα στο άρωμα των δειγμάτων, εφαρμόσθηκε και η αεριοχρωματογραφική τεχνική στην οποία ως ανιχνευτής αξιοποιείται πλην του FID και το ανθρώπινο αισθητήριο της όσφρησης (GCO = Gas Chromatography-Olfactometry).
description: The aim of the present work was to determine the volatile compounds which are responsible for the flavor of the table olives of Kalamata variety. Particular emphasis was given to the identification of the volatile components contributing to the flavor. In order to extract the volatiles from the samples, the technique of solid phase microextraction (SPME) was used. The separation and identification of the volatiles was obtained using the technique of Gas Chromatography. A mass spectrometer (GC-MS) and a flame ionization detector (FID) were used as detectors. Moreover, the gas chromatographic technique was used for investigating the number of the volatiles that strongly influence the aroma of the samples. In this technique, in addition to the FID, the human sensory organ of olfaction (GCO = Gas Chromatography-Olfactometry) was used as a detector, as well.

description: ABRIDGED: We use HSTACS and NICMOS imaging to study the structure and colors of a sample of nine late-type spirals. We find: (1) A correlation between bulge and disks scale-lengths, and a correlation between the colors of the bulges and those of the inner disks. Our data show a trend for bulges to be more metal-enriched than their surrounding disks, but otherwise no simple age-metallicity connection between these systems; (2) A large range in bulge stellar population properties, and, in particular, in stellar ages. Specifically, in about a half of the late-type bulges in our sample the bulk of the stellar mass was produced recently. Thus, in a substantial fraction of the z=0 disk-dominated bulged galaxies, bulge formation occurs after the formation/accretion of the disk; (3) In about a half of the late-type bulges in our sample, however, the bulk of the stellar mass was produced at early epochs; (4) Even these "old" late-type bulges host a significant fraction of stellar mass in a young(er) c component; (5) A correlation for bulges between stellar age and stellar mass, in the sense that more massive late-type bulges are older than less massive late-type bulges. Since the overall galaxy luminosity (mass) also correlates with the bulge luminosity (mass), it appears that the galaxy mass regulates not only what fraction of itself ends up in the bulge component, but also "when" bulge formation takes place. We show that dynamical friction of massive clumps in gas-rich disks is a plausible disk-driven mode for the formation of "old" late-type bulges. If disk evolutionary processes are responsible for the formation of the entire family of late-type bulges, CDM simulations need to produce a similar number of initially bulgeless disks in addition to the disk galaxies that are observed to be bulgeless at z=0.

Licensing D in classifier languages and "numeral blocking"
Creators: name: Hall, David
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Since Cheng & Sybesma (1999), there has been much discussion of how the inter-
 action of functional heads in the extended nominal projection in numeral classifier
 languages gives rise to a definite interpretation. An important observation that
 came out of this discussion is that there appears to be some kind of interaction
 between a classifier head (call it Cl) and definiteness, where either Cl and D inter-
 act through head movement (Simpson 2005), or the Cl head itself introduces an
 ι-operator. Cheng & Sybesma note that in Cantonese, which exhibits bare Cl-N se-
 quences with a definite interpretation, the addition of a numeral has the effect of
 “undoing the definiteness”. The standard approach to accounting for this blocking
 of definiteness is that of Simpson (2005), where it is suggested that for a definite
 interpretation to arise in classifier languages, the Cl head has to move to D (in the
 spirit of Longobardi 1994). The blocking of a definite interpretation in Cantonese is
 the result of a Head Movement Constraint violation; Cl cannot move to D over the
 numeral. I show that this numeral blocking effect extends to other languages too,
 and I argue based on data from those languages that a Head Movement Constraint
 based account of definiteness in classifier languages cannot capture the facts, and
 that we require an alternative. I put forward a proposal which has the consequence
 that the classifier and numeral form a constituent to the exclusion of the noun, and
 then discuss some suggestive evidence in favour of such a structural configuration.

description: We experimentally investigate the effect of atomic $δ$-kicked rotor potentials on the mutual coherence between wavepackets in an atom interferometer. The differential action of the kicked rotor degrades the mutual coherence, leading to a reduction of the interferometry fringe visibility; however, when the repetition rate of the kicked rotor is at or near the quantum resonance, we observe revival of matter-wave coherence as the number of kicks increases, resulting in non-vanishing coherence in the large kick number limit. This coherence saturation effect reflects a saturation of fidelity decay due to momentum displacements in deep quantum regime. The saturation effect is accompanied with an invariant distribution of matter-wave coherence under the kicked rotor perturbations.
