Load Shedding and Charcoal Use in Zambia: What Are the Implications on the Water-Energy-Food Nexus?
Creators: name: Mulunda, Muchima

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Load shedding, a response to energy shortages, leads to the adoption of charcoal as an alternative energy source. This shift has significant environmental, water resources, and food security consequences. The research investigates deforestation, biodiversity, ecosystems, land use, water availability, irrigation systems, food insecurity, and energy insecurity resulting from charcoal production and use. The objectives include minimizing deforestation, reducing carbon emissions, addressing climate change effects, and determining the most cost-effective energy option. The study utilized the CLEWs (Climate, Land, Energy, and Water Systems) framework and the OSeMOSYS (Open-Source Energy Modeling System) tool to analyze the interactions between energy, water, and food systems in Zambia. OSeMOSYS was selected for its flexibility and transparency in modeling complex systems over a long-term planning horizon (2020-2070). The CLEWs framework facilitates the integrated analysis of energy use, land management, water resources, and climate change impacts. The study's findings indicate that charcoal use will influence the energy sector through increased cooking demand over time. Charcoal's cooking energy demand is projected to rise from 0.2 GW in 2020 to 1 GW in 2070. Additionally, charcoal use will impact land use by reducing forest land cover by over 10,000 square kilometers by 2070 compared to the baseline study. CO2 emissions will increase due to charcoal's growing cooking demand, reaching approximately 1 million tonnes of CO2 in 2070. Charcoal production will also increase, from 2.2 million tonnes in 2020 to 10 million tonnes in 2070, affecting the food sector by occupying forest land area coverage. The study does not assess the use of charcoal in the water sector. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into the implications of load shedding and charcoal use on Zambia's Water-Energy-Food Nexus. It highlights the need for sustainable energy solutions, decreased deforestation, reduced carbon emissions, and improved water and food security. The findings can inform policy interventions and support decision-making processes to optimize energy choices and minimize negative environmental and socioeconomic impacts.

description: Die PEST-domänenreiche Tyrosinphosphatase PEP ist eine cytoplasmatische Tyrosin-Phosphatase, die die Funktion von Immunzellen einschließlich der von Mastzellen reguliert. Mastzellen sind wichtige Effektorzellen, die die allergische Reaktion als Antwort auf ein Antigen auslösen. Die antigenvermittelte Aktivierung von Mastzellen führt zu der Freisetzung von gespeicherten Entzündungsmediatoren, die als Degranulation bezeichnet wird. Außerdem initiiert die Mastzellaktivierung die de novo Synthese und Freisetzung von Lipid-Derivaten und die Synthese und Freisetzung von Zytokinen/Chemokinen. Frühere Studien zeigen, dass PEP eine positive regulatorische Rolle in der Mastzelldegranulation einnimmt, da die Degranulation von aus Knochenmark gewonnenen Mastzellen (BMMCs) von PEP-/- Mäusen, verglichen mit PEP+/+ BMMCs, geschwächt ist. Es war allerdings bislang unbekannt ob PEP auch noch weitere Mastzellfunktionen wie die Lipidmediator-Synthese und Genexpression von Zytokinen/Chemokinen beeinflusst. Weiterhin wird PEP durch Dexamethason, einem steroidalen entzündungshemmenden Glucocorticoid, das zur Behandlung von Allergien eingesetzt wird, hochreguliert. Die Rolle von PEP bei der antiallergischen Wirkung von Glucocorticoiden (GC) war jedoch noch nicht bekannt. 
Unter Verwendung von BMMCs von PEP+/+ und PEP-/- Mäusen in RNA-seq Experimenten wurde gezeigt, dass aktivierte PEP-/- BMMCs eine herabgesetzte Zytokin/Chemokin-Genexpression (TNFα, IL13, CSF2) aufweisen im Vergleich zu PEP+/+ BMMCs. Dies bedeutet, dass PEP wichtig für die Zytokin/Chemokin-Synthese in Mastzellen ist. Des Weiteren war die GC-vermittelte Hemmung der Expression von COX-2, einem proinflammatorischen Gen, welches die Lipidmediator-Synthese fördert, in PEP-/- BMMCs beeinträchtigt. Dies bedeutet, dass PEP für die GC-induzierte negative Regulation der Lipidmediator-Synthese nötig ist. Ähnliche Effekte wie sie in PEP-/- BMMCs beobachtet wurden, konnten in PEP+/+ BMMCs nach Behandlung mit L75NO4, einem chemischen Inhibitor, der die PEP-Aktivität unterdrückt, beobachtet werden. Dies zeigt, dass PEP direkt an der Regulation der Zytokin/Chemokin- und COX-2 Expression beteiligt ist. Zusammengefasst: PEP ist ein positiver Regulator der Zytokin/Chemokin- und COX-2 Expression und ist ebenso für die negative Regulation der COX-2 Expression durch GC nötig.

description: A powerful tool emerging from the study of many-body quantum dynamics is that of dual-unitary circuits, which are unitary even when read `sideways', i.e., along the spatial direction. Here, we show that this provides the ideal framework to understand and expand on the notion of measurement-based quantum computation (MBQC). In particular, applying a dual-unitary circuit to a many-body state followed by appropriate measurements effectively implements quantum computation in the spatial direction. We show how the dual-unitary dynamics generated by the dynamics of the paradigmatic one-dimensional kicked Ising chain with certain parameter choices generate resource states for universal deterministic MBQC. Specifically, after $k$ time-steps, equivalent to a depth-$k$ quantum circuit, we obtain a resource state for universal MBQC on $\sim 3k/4$ encoded qubits. Our protocol allows generic quantum circuits to be `rotated' in space-time and gives new ways to exchange between resources like qubit number and coherence time in quantum computers. Beyond the practical advantages, we also interpret the dual-unitary evolution as generating an infinite sequence of new symmetry-protected topological phases with spatially modulated symmetries, which gives a vast generalization of the well-studied one-dimensional cluster state and shows that our protocol is robust to symmetry-respecting deformations.

description: Objective: We aim to develop an open-source natural language processing (NLP) package, SODA (i.e., SOcial DeterminAnts), with pre-trained transformer models to extract social determinants of health (SDoH) for cancer patients, examine the generalizability of SODA to a new disease domain (i.e., opioid use), and evaluate the extraction rate of SDoH using cancer populations.
 Methods: We identified SDoH categories and attributes and developed an SDoH corpus using clinical notes from a general cancer cohort. We compared four transformer-based NLP models to extract SDoH, examined the generalizability of NLP models to a cohort of patients prescribed with opioids, and explored customization strategies to improve performance. We applied the best NLP model to extract 19 categories of SDoH from the breast (n=7,971), lung (n=11,804), and colorectal cancer (n=6,240) cohorts.
 Results and Conclusion: We developed a corpus of 629 cancer patients notes with annotations of 13,193 SDoH concepts/attributes from 19 categories of SDoH. The Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers (BERT) model achieved the best strict/lenient F1 scores of 0.9216 and 0.9441 for SDoH concept extraction, 0.9617 and 0.9626 for linking attributes to SDoH concepts. Fine-tuning the NLP models using new annotations from opioid use patients improved the strict/lenient F1 scores from 0.8172/0.8502 to 0.8312/0.8679. The extraction rates among 19 categories of SDoH varied greatly, where 10 SDoH could be extracted from >70% of cancer patients, but 9 SDoH had a low extraction rate (<70% of cancer patients). The SODA package with pre-trained transformer models is publicly available at https://github.com/uf-hobiinformatics-lab/SDoH_SODA.

description: This paper examines the complex legal landscape surrounding digital assets, analysing how they are defined and regulated as property across various jurisdictions. As digital assets such as cryptocurrencies and non-fungible tokens (NFTs) increasingly integrate with global economies, their intangible nature presents unique challenges to traditional property law concepts, necessitating a re-evaluation of legal definitions and ownership frameworks. This research presents a comparative analysis, reviewing how different legal systems classify and manage digital assets within property law, highlighting the variations in regulatory approaches and their implications on ownership, transfer, and inheritance rights. By examining seminal cases and regulatory developments in major jurisdictions, including the United States, the European Union, and Singapore, this paper explores the emerging trends and potential legal evolutions that could influence the global handling of digital assets. The study aims to contribute to the scholarly discourse by proposing a harmonized approach to digital asset regulation, seeking to balance innovation with legal certainty and consumer protection.

description: Any potential application of quantum computing, once encoded as a quantum circuit, needs to be compiled in order to be executed on a quantum computer. Deciding which qubit technology, which device, which compiler, and which corresponding settings are best for the considered problem -- according to a measure of goodness -- requires expert knowledge and is overwhelming for end-users from different domains trying to use quantum computing to their advantage. In this work, we treat the problem as a statistical classification task and explore the utilization of supervised machine learning techniques to optimize the compilation of quantum circuits. Based on that, we propose a framework that, given a quantum circuit, predicts the best combination of these options and, therefore, automatically makes these decisions for end-users. Experimental evaluations show that, considering a prototypical setting with 3000 quantum circuits, the proposed framework yields promising results: for more than three quarters of all unseen test circuits, the best combination of compilation options is determined. Moreover, for more than 95% of the circuits, a combination of compilation options within the top-three is determined -- while the median compilation time is reduced by more than one order of magnitude. Furthermore, the resulting methodology not only provides end-users with a prediction of the best compilation options, but also provides means to extract explicit knowledge from the machine learning technique. This knowledge helps in two ways: it lays the foundation for further applications of machine learning in this domain and, also, allows one to quickly verify whether a machine learning algorithm is reasonably trained. The corresponding framework and the pre-trained classifier are publicly available on GitHub (https://github.com/cda-tum/MQTPredictor) as part of the Munich Quantum Toolkit (MQT).

description: Open string amplitudes at tree level have been studied for over fifty years, but there is no known analytic form for general $n$-point amplitudes, and their conventional representation in terms of worldsheet integrals does not make many of their most basic physical properties manifest. Recently, a formulation of these amplitudes exposing the underlying "binary geometry" via the use of "$u$" variables has given us many insights into their basic features. In this paper, we initiate a systematic exploration of fundamental aspects of open string amplitudes from this new point of view. We begin by giving explicit expressions for the factorization of amplitudes at general massive levels. We then study the asymptotic behavior when subsets of kinematic variables become large, delineating regimes with exponential (generalized hard scattering) and power-law (generalized Regge) behavior. We also give precise expressions for the asymptotics, which reveal another example of the recently observed property of factorization away from poles. We finally derive new recursion relations and infinite series representations for the amplitude, and for five points, we present a new closed-form expression for the amplitude that for the first time gives its analytic continuation to all of kinematic space.

description: Generating graph-structured data is a challenging problem, which requires learning the underlying distribution of graphs. Various models such as graph VAE, graph GANs, and graph diffusion models have been proposed to generate meaningful and reliable graphs, among which the diffusion models have achieved state-of-the-art performance. In this paper, we argue that running full-rank diffusion SDEs on the whole graph adjacency matrix space hinders diffusion models from learning graph topology generation, and hence significantly deteriorates the quality of generated graph data. To address this limitation, we propose an efficient yet effective Graph Spectral Diffusion Model (GSDM), which is driven by low-rank diffusion SDEs on the graph spectrum space. Our spectral diffusion model is further proven to enjoy a substantially stronger theoretical guarantee than standard diffusion models. Extensive experiments across various datasets demonstrate that, our proposed GSDM turns out to be the SOTA model, by exhibiting both significantly higher generation quality and much less computational consumption than the baselines.

title: Vergegenwärtigte Vergangenheit im Spielfilm
Creators: name: Hornak, Christoph
Year: 2012

description: Film hat eine sehr spezielle Beziehung zu den beiden Begriffen Vergangenheit und Erinnerung: Schon aus der Logik seiner Technik heraus hat er keine andere Wahl, als Bilder der Vergangenheit wiederzugeben - auch wenn sie in der Diegese gegenwärtig oder zukünftig sind, sind sie dennoch vor der Vorführung aufgezeichnet. Dieser Umstand prädestiniert den Film als Erinnerungsmedium; denn nichts anderes geschieht, wenn man versucht, sich an etwas zu erinnern: man löst sich von der gegenwärtigen Wahrnehmung und versetzt sich in die Vergangenheit. Diese Arbeit behandelt nicht Vergangenheit oder Erinnerung an sich, sondern deren Vergegenwärtigung. Das soll bedeuten, dass in den präsentierten Beispielen die Protagonisten sich nicht nur in Form von Bildern an Vergangenes erinnern; sie aktualisieren Abschnitte ihres früheren Lebens in einem solchen Ausmaß, so dass sie als ihr gegenwärtiges Selbst sich in diesen befinden. L’ANNÉE DERNIÈRE À MARIENBAD und ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS wurden ausgewählt, da sie die stringentesten Beispiele für eine audiovisuelle Darstellung von aktualisierter Vergangenheit sind. In beiden erinnern sich die Protagonisten nicht nur an vergangene Momente, sondern befinden sich tatsächlich wieder in ihnen. Das heißt, dass sie sich aus der Gegenwart in die Vergangenheit zurückversetzen und diese für die Dauer des Films ihre Gegenwart wird. Sie erinnern sich nicht zurück, um, wie es üblicherweise der Fall ist, aus der Vergangenheit für die Gegenwart zu schöpfen, um in die Zukunft zu gelangen. Ihr ganzes Interesse ist auf die Vergangenheit selbst gerichtet, um sie noch einmal zu erleben, etwas in ihr zu ändern oder sie vor dem Vergessen zu retten. Doch auch wenn diese beiden Beispiele in ihrer Grundessenz sehr ähnlich sind, so gibt es bei der Umsetzung und der Darstellung grundlegende Unterschiede, wie zum Beispiel in Erzählstruktur oder auch Montage. Henri Bergsons ‚Materie und Gedächtnis’ wurde als theoretisches Fundament gewählt, da es die grundsätzlichen Bedingungen des Erinnerns beleuchtet und in den Beschreibungen von Extremfällen des Gedächtnisses sehr den in den ausgewählten Filmen präsentierten Fällen entspricht.
title: Über den Begriff der Ironie mit ständiger Rücksicht auf den Unernst
Creators: name: Boß, Karlheinz
Year: 2012

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit geht es darum, die Ironie in den philosophi-schen Konzepten von Sokrates, Friedrich Schlegel und Richard Rorty darzustellen und auf ihre unernsten Momente hin zu untersuchen. Es soll auch gezeigt werden, inwiefern sich die Ironie als Grundstimmung von der Ironie als rhetorische Figur unterscheidet bzw. wie aus der ver-balen Ironie ein philosophischer Standpunkt Namens Ironie erwachsen konnte. Die gesamte Arbeit wird von der Ausgangsthese geleitet, dass der Ironie als Stimmungslage ein „lächeln“ eigen ist, das sie von ande-ren philosophischen Konzepten unterscheidet. Dieses „Lächeln“ wird bei Sokrates als „Amüsieren“, bei Schlegel in Gestalt des „Scherzes“ darge-tan und bei Rorty mit Aspekten des „Humors“ in Beziehung gesetzt. Es wird sich zeigen, dass die dargestellten Ironiekonzepte nicht frei vom Unernst sind. Sie lächeln, wirken jedoch an keiner Stelle lächerlich. Die ironisch philosophische Grundstimmung ist ernst genug, um unernst sein zu können.
description: The paper at hand allegorizes the Irony of the philosophical concepts from Sokrates, Friedrich Schlegel, Richard Rorty and explores its mo-ments of flippancy. Furthermore it illustrates to what extent Irony is distinguished, as a prevailing mood and a rhetorical character. Accord-ingly how a philosophical point of view referred to as “Irony” emerged from “Verbal Irony”. The Paper is lead by the central Thesis which indi-cates a “smile” as the atmospheric picture for Irony by which it discerns in comparison with other philosophical concepts. Sokrates displays „the smile” with the act of amusement, Schlegel in the figure of “esprit” and Rotry relates it with the different aspects of humor. That the described concepts of irony are not devoid of flippancy remains to be seen. They simper, however at no point they appear to be absurd. The ironic phi-losophic prevailing mood is demure enough to be flippancy.

description: This paper presents an efficient and concise double fast algorithm to solve high dimensional time-space fractional diffusion problems with spectral fractional Laplacian. We first establish semi-discrete scheme of time-space fractional diffusion equation, which uses linear finite element or fourth-order compact difference method combining with matrix transfer technique to approximate spectral fractional Laplacian. Then we introduce a fast time-stepping L1 scheme for time discretization. The proposed scheme can exactly evaluate fractional power of matrix and perform matrix-vector multiplication at per time level by using discrete sine transform, which doesn't need to resort to any iteration method and can significantly reduce computation cost and memory requirement. Further, we address stability and convergence analyses of full discrete scheme based on fast time-stepping L1 scheme on graded time mesh. Our analysis shows that the choice of graded mesh factor $ω=(2-α)/α$ shall give an optimal temporal convergence $\mathcal{O}(N^{-(2-α)})$ with $N$ denoting the number of time mesh. Finally, ample numerical examples are delivered to illustrate our theoretical analysis and the efficiency of the suggested scheme.

description: Quantum computing is fast evolving as a technology due to recent advances in hardware, software, as well as the development of promising applications. To use this technology for solving specific problems, a suitable quantum algorithm has to be determined, the problem has to be encoded in a form suitable for the chosen algorithm, it has to be executed, and the result has to be decoded. To date, each of these tedious and error-prone steps is conducted in a mostly manual fashion. This creates a high entry barrier for using quantum computing -- especially for users with little to no expertise in that domain. In this work, we envision a framework that aims to lower this entry barrier by allowing users to employ quantum computing solutions in an automatic fashion. To this end, interfaces as similar as possible to classical solvers are provided, while the quantum steps of the workflow are shielded from the user as much as possible by a fully automated backend. To demonstrate the feasibility and usability of such a framework, we provide proof-of-concept implementations for two different classes of problems which are publicly available on GitHub (https://github.com/cda-tum/MQTProblemSolver) as part of the Munich Quantum Toolkit (MQT). By this, this work provides the foundation for a low-threshold approach realizing quantum computing solutions with no or only moderate expertise in this technology.

description: Die vorliegende Diplomarbeit erarbeitet einen kontrastierende Vergleich zwischen dem Empowermentansatz und der dilettantischen Subjektkonzeption nach Roland Reichenbach, wobei insbesondere auf die Aspekte des Subjektverständnisses, der Selbstbestimmung, der Kompetenz und Souveränität, sowie des Bildungszieles eingegangen wird. Der Empowermentansatz findet in der bildungswissenschaftlichen Praxis vielfältige Anwendung (z.B. Behindertenarbeit) und zielt darauf ab, KlientInnen (psycho)sozialer Arbeit mehr Eigenverantwortung zuzugestehen, sowie eigene Stärken und Selbstbestimmung wieder zurückzugewinnen. Der Bildungsphilosoph Roland Reichenbach stellt dar, wie das anthropologische „Faktum der Inkompetenz“ und folglich der Dilettantismus des Menschen als Ermöglichungsbedingung für Freiheit gedacht werden können und konzipiert sein „dilettantisches Subjekt“ vor einem postmodernen Hintergrund, als Kontrapunkt zum Diskurs des autonomen Subjekts in der Moderne. Den beiden Ansätzen zugrundeliegenden Annahmen, wie beispielsweise massive Unsicherheiten der postmodernen Lebenssituation, prinzipielle Situationen der Unsicherheit und die Intention der Überwindung moderner Aufklärungsdogmen und hierarchischer Erziehungs- bzw. Bildungsbeziehungen bieten die Basis, auf Grundlage derer die Ansätze einander gegenübergestellt werden. Das Ziel des Vergleichs der Ansätze liegt einerseits darin, Gemeinsamkeiten, Unterschiede bzw. mögliche Verknüpfungspunkte zu eruieren, sowie die Ansätze durch den jeweils anderen kritisch zu reflektieren und konstruktive Implikationen auszumachen. Reichenbachs Darstellungen ermöglicht es beispielsweise, Autonomie im Empowermentansatz neu zu denken, überhöhte Erwartungshaltungen und starre Zielvorstellungen vehement zu hinterfragen oder die Expertise auf professioneller Seite zu dekonstruieren.

description: 10. Ircinia chupoensis n. sp. (Fig. 10)
 Type specimen. Holotype (NIBRIV0000754024), Korea: Chupodo, Yecho-ri, Chuja-myeon, Jeju-si, Jeju-do, 22 Aug 2002, Lee BI, by SCUBA diving, depth 15 m, deposited in the NIBR.
 Description. Massive sponge, size up to 10 × 9 × 6 cm, divided to several parts at the top of the sponge. Surface has loose sand patches, not crust. Some parts of sponge have no sand. Oscules, 1.5-2 mm in diameter, opened at top of sponge. Colour in life, surface dark gray, beige inside. Texture, hard and incompressible.
Skeleton: Primary fibres, 200-300 μm in diameter, cored with dense, small sand particles. Secondary fibres, 80-100 μm in diameter, almost clear but rarely cored with small amounts of sand (Fig. 10F). Filaments, 5 μm in diameter, with terminal knobs, 10 μm in diameter.
 Etymology. This species is named after the type locality Chupodo, Jejudo Island.
 Remark. This new species is easily distinguished by a very hard and incompressible sponge texture. Primary fibres cored with dense, small sand particles similar to species in the genus Psammocinia. Secondary fibres are very thick and rarely cored with sand. Numerous small sand particles spread over some parts of the secondary web as in species in the genus Psammocinia; however, this new species has massive primary fibres fascicles (Fig. 10D, G).

description: Instruments based on light obscuration sensors are widely used for measuring the size distribution of insoluble sub-visible particles in liquid suspensions, being fast and suitable for in situ and real-time measurements. Such instruments are typically calibrated by means of reference polystyrene spherical particles with a specific refractive index, which unavoidably leads to systematic errors when determining the size of particles of different materials. In this paper, we propose a reliable and consistent method to overcome this limitation by setting the refractive index value according to the sample, thus achieving an improved particle size distribution (PSD) measurement. An ad hoc, ready-to-use, open source code with a graphical interface able to drive an in-line instrument and obtain a real-time correction to the PSD has been developed. The method has been extensively validated with several oil emulsions characterized by different refractive index values and the results have been compared with an independent optical method. As an example of application, we have adopted this approach for the analysis of dust suspended in meltwater of an ice core from a glacier in the Aosta Valley (Italy). We believe that our approach will strongly improve the accuracy in characterizing liquid suspensions and reduce discrepancies between data obtained with different methods. The code has been made publicly available at:https://instrumentaloptics.fisica.unimi.it/dedalo/ and on the GitHub page of the corresponding author (https://github.com/LucaTeruzzi/DEDALO).

title: Freie Medien und Blogs als Einstieg in den kommerziellen Journalismus
Creators: name: Wein, Michaela
Year: 2012

description: Die Veränderungen innerhalb der Kommunikation durch die Entwicklung des Internets machen auch vor dem Journalismus nicht halt: neue Publikationsformen entwickeln sich, die dem kommerziellen Journalismus stark ähneln und diesem Konkurrenz machen: Freie Medien, die sich als Gegenpart zur etablierten Medienszene verstehen und stark an den Arbeitsweisen und Standards journalistischer Arbeit orientiert sind sowie Weblogs, die wie keine andere Medienform das Publizieren von Inhalten möglich und einfach machen. Diese Entwicklungen machen kommerziellen Medien Konkurrenz – oder noch nicht? Die vorliegende Arbeit hat es zum Ziel, die Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen Freien Medien, Blogs und kommerziellem Journalismus aufzuzeigen und zu untersuchen, an welchen Kriterien journalistische Arbeit festgemacht wird. Die Magisterarbeit gliedert sich in einen theoretischen Teil, in dem die Hintergründe und Entwicklungen im journalistischen Bereich der letzten Jahre aufgearbeitet werden sowie einen empirischen Teil, in dem mittels qualitativer Interviews Fragen zur Wahrnehmung von Blogs und Freien Medien sowie zu ihrer Orientierung an journalistischen Standards beantwortet werden sollen.

description: Text classification stands as a cornerstone within the realm of Natural Language Processing (NLP), particularly when viewed through computer science and engineering. The past decade has seen deep learning revolutionize text classification, propelling advancements in text retrieval, categorization, information extraction, and summarization. The scholarly literature includes datasets, models, and evaluation criteria, with English being the predominant language of focus, despite studies involving Arabic, Chinese, Hindi, and others. The efficacy of text classification models relies heavily on their ability to capture intricate textual relationships and non-linear correlations, necessitating a comprehensive examination of the entire text classification pipeline.
 In the NLP domain, a plethora of text representation techniques and model architectures have emerged, with Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative Pre-trained Transformers (GPTs) at the forefront. These models are adept at transforming extensive textual data into meaningful vector representations encapsulating semantic information. The multidisciplinary nature of text classification, encompassing data mining, linguistics, and information retrieval, highlights the importance of collaborative research to advance the field. This work integrates traditional and contemporary text mining methodologies, fostering a holistic understanding of text classification.

description: We extend the error bounds from [SIMAX, Vol. 43, Iss. 2, pp. 787-811 (2022)] for the Lanczos method for matrix function approximation to the block algorithm. Numerical experiments suggest that our bounds are fairly robust to changing block size and have the potential for use as a practical stopping criteria. Further experiments work towards a better understanding of how certain hyperparameters should be chosen in order to maximize the quality of the error bounds, even in the previously studied block-size one case.

description: Demand for mineral specimens which are naturally occurring in crystallized mineral cavities in rocks (or Mineral Specimen Cavities – MSCs) is currently on the rise. Predictions indicate that this trend will most probably be maintained at least for the forthcoming years. In order for the supply to satisfy the demand, the prospecting process, i.e., the activity of discovering and extracting these mineral specimens, needs to be accordingly adapted. One possible way for this to be achieved is to employ geophysical exploration methods. Past surveys have demonstrated that the georadar (or Ground Penetrating Radar – GPR) could be a suitable method to locate MSCs. However, various reasons such as geological complexity, unrealistic expectations and/or ambiguities in the produced imagery have resulted for the method to be generally disregarded. Despite that fact, it is believed that appropriate optimization of the georadar can provide multiple benefits. In this direction and within this thesis, actual georadar field measurements from an area known to host MSCs were coupled with Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) numerical modeling simulations. The main observations can be summarized in 3 key points. 1) Boundary delineation between the host and target lithological units is an effective technique to categorize subsurface reflections according to their possibility of being MSCs. 2) Different georadar antenna orientations can potentially provide imagery that more closely represents the actual geometry of the reflector. 3) Indications regarding the filling material of subsurface features (e.g., clay, air) can be extracted by examining the recorded signal polarity and/or by plotting the spectrums at the areas of interest. Under the appropriate circumstances, the aforementioned observations can be particularly useful and increase the overall effectiveness of the georadar when prospecting for MSCs.
