description: We introduce a simple and efficient model to describe the potential energy surface of lithium diffusing in a solid-state ionic conductor. First, we assume that the Li atoms are fully ionized and we neglect the weak dependence of the electronic valence charge density on the instantaneous position of the Li ions. Second, we freeze the atoms of the host lattice in their equilibrium positions; consequently, also the valence charge density is frozen. We thus obtain a computational setup (the "pinball model") for which extremely inexpensive molecular dynamics simulation can be performed. To assess the accuracy of the model, we contrast it with full first-principles molecular dynamics simulations performed either with a free or frozen host lattice; in this latter case, the charge density still readjusts itself self-consistently to the actual positions of the diffusing Li ions. We show that the pinball model is able to reproduce accurately the static and dynamic properties of the diffusing Li ions - including forces, power spectra, and diffusion coefficients - when compared to the self-consistent frozen-host lattice simulations. The frozen-lattice approximation itself is often accurate enough, and certainly a good proxy in most materials. These observations unlock efficient ways to simulating the diffusion of lithium in the solid state, and provide additional physical insight into the respective roles of charge-density rearrangements or lattice vibrations in affecting lithium diffusion.

description: The human skeletal material recovered from the Nan Medal islets in Ponape, Federated States of Micronesia, was excavated during the spring of 1984 by Drs. J. Stephen Athens and Joyce Bath. A forensic examination of this material was undertaken at the University of Hawaii-Manoa during the 1984-85 academic year. The bone collections come from eight different sites among the islets; some are from excavated test units, others are bone caches found in the crevices between the stones of several walls in the vicinity of Nandauwas Islet. Much of the material is badly weathered and fragmentary. Preservation of bone was found to be poor.

description: Northland Research, Inc. (Northland) was contracted by the Salt River Project (SRP) to perform a records search and Class III cultural resources survey of a proposed receiving station (RS15) at 56th Street and Pecos Road in Chandler, Arizona. The search was conducted for a 20-acre, privately owned parcel. The records search revealed that a previous Class III cultural resources survey had been accomplished within the 20-acre parcel, with negative results (i.e., no cultural resources were identified). Because of this previous survey and pre-existing archaeological clearance for the parcel, no additional survey was accomplished by Northland. This file includes related correspondence.

description: Type IIB supergravity can be consistently truncated to the metric and the self-dual 5-form. We obtain the complete non-linear Kaluza-Klein S^5 reduction Ansatz for this theory, giving rise to gravity coupled to the fifteen Yang-Mills gauge fields of SO(6) and the twenty scalars of the coset SL(6,R)/SO(6). This provides a consistent embedding of this subsector of N=8, D=5 gauged supergravity in type IIB in D=10. We demonstrate that the self-duality of the 5-form plays a crucial role in the consistency of the reduction. We also discuss certain necessary conditions for a theory of gravity and an antisymmetric tensor in an arbitrary dimension D to admit a consistent sphere reduction, keeping all the massless fields. We find that it is only possible for D=11, with a 4-form field, and D=10, with a 5-form. Furthermore, in D=11 the full bosonic structure of eleven-dimensional supergravity is required, while in D=10 the 5-form must be self-dual. It is remarkable that just from the consistency requirement alone one would discover D=11 and type IIB supergravities, and that D=11 is an upper bound on the dimension.

description: Parity control of superconducting islands hosting Majorana zero modes (MZMs) is required to operate topological qubits made from proximitized semiconductor nanowires. We, therefore, study parity effects in hybrid InAs-Al single-Cooper-pair transistors (SCPTs) as a first step. In particular, we investigate the gate-charge supercurrent modulation and observe a consistent 2$e$-periodic pattern indicating a general lack of low-energy subgap states in these nanowires at zero magnetic field. In a parallel magnetic field, an even-odd pattern develops with a gate-charge spacing that oscillates as a function of field demonstrating that the modulation pattern is sensitive to the presence of a single subgap state. In addition, we find that the parity lifetime of the SCPT decreases exponentially with magnetic field as the subgap state approaches zero energy. Our work highlights the important role that intentional quasiparticle traps and superconducting gap engineering would play in topological qubits that require quenching of the island charge dispersion.

title:  Nonuniform Sampling-based Breast Cancer Classification

description: The emergence of deep learning models and their success in visual object recognition have fueled the medical imaging community's interest in integrating these algorithms to improve medical diagnosis. However, natural images, which have been the main focus of deep learning models and mammograms, exhibit fundamental differences. First, breast tissue abnormalities are often smaller than salient objects in natural images. Second, breast images have significantly higher resolutions but are generally heavily downsampled to fit these images to deep learning models. Models that handle high-resolution mammograms require many exams and complex architectures. Additionally, spatially resizing mammograms leads to losing discriminative details essential for diagnosis. To address this limitation, we develop an approach to exploit the relative importance of pixels in mammograms by conducting non-uniform sampling. More specifically, in this project, we combine the methodology proposed by Shen et al. for training a breast cancer classifier with the non-uniform sampling approach proposed by Recasens et al. On the CBIS-DDSM dataset, our method achieves an AUC of 0.8543 on the test set using input images of size (1152 x 896) and a custom partition and an AUC of 0.7819 on the test set using input images of size (576 x 448) and the official partition. Those results are superior to the performance achieved by Shen et al.: 0.8456 AUC using a custom partition and 0.7621 AUC using the official partition. The model performance demonstrates that non-uniformly sampled images preserve discriminant features requiring lower resolutions to outperform their uniformly sampled counterparts. We also show that the proposed method can be transferred to INbreast images without reliance on pixel-level annotations and boost the model performance on independent data.

description: We present the results of the light-shift calculations in the ns-states of hydrogenicsystems in the presence of a weak laser field. This is done by means of analytical calculations of the scalar dynamic polarizabilities (DP) of the corresponding levels. In contrast to the usual technique, 1.e. by solving certain inhomogeneous differential equation. As a result, we obtained for the DP a closed analytical expression valid for all principal quantum numbers, n. Within a framework of such an approach we succeeded both in retrieving the well known results and finding several new ones, as well.Our interest is focused mainly on the states with low n, n=1,2, since they are of particular importance.Various analytical properties of the DP of such levels are discussed in full details. Numerical values of light-shifts are computed for those energies and intensities of the laser field that are used in the 1S-2S experimental investigation of the muonium atom.

description: In the past decades, graphs that are determined by their spectrum have received more attention, since they have been applied to several fields, such as randomized algorithms, combinatorial optimization problems and machine learning. An important part of spectral graph theory is devoted to determining whether given graphs or classes of graphs are determined by their spectra or not. So, finding and introducing any class of graphs which are determined by their spectra can be an interesting and important problem. A graph is said to be DQS if there is no other non-isomorphic graph with the same signless Laplacian spectrum. For a DQS graph G, we show that G[rK1 [sK2 is DQS under certain conditions, where r, s are natural numbers and K1 and K2 denote the complete graphs on one vertex and two vertices, respectively. Applying these results, some DQS graphs with independent edges and isolated vertices are obtained

description: Current environmental assessments for petroleum hydrocarbon (PHC) contaminated sites are dependent on discrete soil sampling to estimate the degree and extent of contamination, leading to unreliable and non-reproducible results. Incremental sampling methodology (ISM) involves collecting and combining samples within a targeted area and holds promise for being a cost-effective, representative, and reproducible sampling strategy for contaminated site characterization. We hypothesized that traditional Phase II Environmental Site Assessments (ESA) discrete and ISM sampling protocols were not mutually exclusive, and the two approaches can be used to formulate a responsible land management strategy. Results gathered through ISM were compared to those from Phase II ESA for two PHC contaminated sites in Canada. Both methods indicated the sites were impacted with PHC beyond Saskatchewan Tier I guidance, however, the delineation of the PHC plume differed by as much as 75% for the heavier hydrocarbons. The Phase II ESA methods had higher incidences of false positive results and an overestimation of contamination at depth. A laboratory experiment confirmed that ISM does not “dilute” the samples as to cause underestimation, whereby the hydrocarbon concentrations for a single combined sample was equivalent to the mean of 30 discrete samples. Based on our results, sites should undergo risk assessment based on the estimates of the Phase II ESA results using vapor phase logs to estimate contaminant extent. If exposure pathways cannot be eliminated through the risk assessment process, remediation planning based on the ISM results is justified given the demonstrated cost-effectiveness, representativeness, and reproducibility.

Weakly Singular Waves and Blow-up for a Regularization of the Shallow-water System
Creators: name: Pu, Yue
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: 19999 Mathematical Sciences not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis studies a regularization of the classical Saint-Venant (shallow-water) system, namely the regularized shallow-water (Airy or Saint-Venant) system, recently
introduced by D. Clamond and D. Dutykh. This regularization is non-dispersive and formally conserves mass, momentum and energy. We show that for every classical shock wave, this system admits a corresponding
non-oscillatory traveling wave solution which is continuous and piecewise smooth, having a weak singularity at a single point where the energy is dissipated as it is for the classical
shock. This system also admits cusped solitary waves of both elevation and depression. The Hs (s > 2) large time existence with respect to the scaling of initial data and
uniqueness are established using an iteration scheme. The solution exists so long as the first derivatives are bounded in L1. When the energy is small, the height of water admits a positive lower bound dictated by the smallness of the energy. Lastly, we show that there exists smooth initial data with which the L1 norm of the first derivatives go unbounded in finite amount of time. This is proved by a Riccati-type
analysis with the help from Landau-Kolmogorov inequality that addresses the nonlocal part.

description: Text-guided image editing has recently experienced rapid development. However, simultaneously performing multiple editing actions on a single image, such as background replacement and specific subject attribute changes, while maintaining consistency between the subject and the background remains challenging. In this paper, we propose LayerDiffusion, a semantic-based layered controlled image editing method. Our method enables non-rigid editing and attribute modification of specific subjects while preserving their unique characteristics and seamlessly integrating them into new backgrounds. We leverage a large-scale text-to-image model and employ a layered controlled optimization strategy combined with layered diffusion training. During the diffusion process, an iterative guidance strategy is used to generate a final image that aligns with the textual description. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our method in generating highly coherent images that closely align with the given textual description. The edited images maintain a high similarity to the features of the input image and surpass the performance of current leading image editing methods. LayerDiffusion opens up new possibilities for controllable image editing.

description: Glanders is a contagious and highly fatal disease of equines with zoonotic potential. It is caused by a Gram-negative, nonmotile bacterium Burkholderia mallei. Complement fixation test (CFT) is one of the most commonly used tests for diagnosis of glanders; however, it has some limitations. A recombinant-truncated Burkholderia intracellular motility A (BimA) protein-based indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (iELISA) was previously reported by us for glanders diagnosis, which has been re-optimized in this study using a panel of glanders positive (n = 75) and glanders negative (n = 227) serum samples. The improved iELISA exhibited 96% sensitivity and 90.75% specificity. The assay had 98.56% negative predictive value. In the improved iELISA, background for negative samples was reduced and a rational assay cut-off based on ROC curves was introduced. Intra laboratory repeatability of the iELISA was tested by 3 different operators with 100% correlation. The BimA-coated ELISA plates could be used without significant decrease in diagnostic efficacy even after their storage at room temperature or 37°C for 90 days. Overall, the improved iELISA is a sensitive, specific, reproducible, and easy-to-use assay that has potential in serodiagnosis of glanders, more suitably to demonstrate freedom from B. mallei infection in a population.

description: we show there exists a mathematically consistent framework in which the Renormalization Program can be understood in a natural manner. The framework does not require any violations of mathematical rigor usually associated with the Renormalization program. We use the framework of the non-local field theories [these carry a finite mass scale (Λ)]and set up a finite perturbative program. We show how this program leads to the perturbation series of the usual renormalization program [except one difference] if the series is restructured .We further show that the comparison becomes possible if there exists a finite mass scale (Λ), with certain properties, in the Quantum Field theory [which we take to be the scale present in the nonlocal theory]. We give a way to estimate the scale (Λ). We also show that the finite perturbation program differs from the usual renormalization program by a term; which we propose can also be used to put a bound on (Λ).

Agriculture

description: In just the same way as it is impossible to isolate the Celts, so it is to determine a specific kind of agriculture which might be described as 'Celtic'. That agriculture formed the basic economy of Europe and the Mediterranean zone by the first millennium BC is not in question. However, outside the classical world our knowledge of the nature of agriculture is severely restricted by the lack of any significant documentary sources. A few tantalising references occur in the works of Greek and Roman commentators, but they are barely enough to construct any kind of coherent picture. The practice of agriculture, probably more than any other industry, is constrained by the nature of the soil and vicissitudes of climate. It is, therefore, important to recognise that agriculture in Europe and particularly in Britain is quite different to the agriculture of the Mediterranean zones. In consequence the classical works on agriculture cannot be used to provide any kind of generalised insight into what happened in Europe. This applies equally to soil preparation and treatment, and to the particular crops cultivated. Bearing in mind that agriculture in the sense of food production probably began in the latter part of the seventh millennium BC in the fertile crescent at the eastern end of the Mediterranean and gradually spread throughout Europe to include Britain and Ireland by the fourth millennium BC, specific Mediterranean practice would have been adapted and changed quite significantly as man responded to soil and climate change. Similarly within the Celtic world of the first millennium BC (arguably the land area stretching from the Pyrenees to the Rhine and from Ireland to Romania), contemporary farming practice would have varied quite considerably from one zone to another, with differences being dictated by the varied climatic zones and soil types. Until the quite recent advent of agrochemicals, farmers had been able to grow only those crops which any particular landscape allowed them to cultivate. The ability to influence the natural prevailing conditions was extremely limited.

description: A gauged (2+1)-dimensional version of the Skyrme model is investigated. The gauge group is $U(1)$ and the dynamics of the associated gauge potential is governed by a Maxwell term. In this model there are topologically stable soliton solutions carrying magnetic flux which is not topologically quantized. The properties of rotationally symmetric solitons of degree one and two are discussed in detail. It is shown that the electric field for such solutions is necessarily zero. The solitons' shape, mass and magnetic flux depend on the $U(1)$ coupling constant, and this dependence is studied numerically from very weak to very strong coupling.

description: The escalating digitalisation of our lives and enterprises has led to a parallel growth in the complexity and frequency of cyber-attacks. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly in Australia, are experiencing increased vulnerability to cyber threats, posing a significant challenge to the nation's cyber security landscape. Embracing transformative technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and Large Language Models (LLMs) can potentially strengthen cyber security policies for Australian SMEs. However, their practical application, advantages, and limitations remain underexplored, with prior research mainly focusing on large corporations. This study aims to address this gap by providing a comprehensive understanding of the potential role of LLMs in enhancing cyber security policies for Australian SMEs. Employing a mixed-methods study design, this research includes a literature review, qualitative analysis of SME case studies, and a quantitative assessment of LLM performance metrics in cyber security applications. The findings highlight the promising potential of LLMs across various performance criteria, including relevance, accuracy, and applicability, though gaps remain in areas such as completeness and clarity. The study underlines the importance of integrating human expertise with LLM technology and refining model development to address these limitations. By proposing a robust conceptual framework guiding the effective adoption of LLMs, this research aims to contribute to a safer and more resilient cyber environment for Australian SMEs, enabling sustainable growth and competitiveness in the digital era.

Bubble size, coalescence and particle motion in flowing foams
Creators: name: Cole, Kathryn Elizabeth
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: In minerals processing, froth flotation is used to separate valuable metal minerals from ore. The efficiency of a froth to recover these valuable minerals is closely related to the bubble size distribution through the depth of the froth. Measurement of the bubble size entering the froth and at the froth surface has been achieved previously; however measurement of the bubble size within the froth is extremely difficult as the mineral laden bubble surfaces are opaque and fragile. This work developed a flowing foam column to enable new measurement techniques, in particular visual measurement of the bubble size distribution and velocity profile throughout the depth of the foam. Two phase foam systems share their structure with three phase froth flotation systems, but are transparent in a thin layer. A foam column was constructed to contain a monolayer of overflowing and coalescing foam. This enabled direct measurement of the dynamic bubble size and coalescence through image analysis. The results showed a strong link between column geometry and the foam behaviour. In addition, the measured bubble streamlines closely matched simulated results from a foam velocity model. Positron Emission Particle Tracking (PEPT) is the only existing technique to measure particle behaviour inside froths. In this work, tracer particles with different size and hydrophobicity were tracked in a foam flowing column with PEPT. The particle trajectories were verified with image analysis, thereby increasing confidence in PEPT measurements of opaque flotation systems. The results showed that as hydrophilic tracer particles passed through the foam, their trajectory was determined by the local structure and changes of the foam, such as coalescence events. A hydrophobic tracer particle was involved in drop–off and reattachment events, however in the majority of cases still overflowed with the foam. The tracer particle did not always follow the bubble streamlines of the flowing foam, taking instead the shortest path to overflow which cut across streamlines. This work has developed an experimental methodology to validate flowing foam and coalescence models and has developed the necessary techniques to interpret PEPT trajectories in froth flotation.

description: In this study we attempt to explore the consequences of surfactant coating on the electrohydrodynamic manipulation of a drop motion in a plane Poiseuielle flow. In addition we consider bulk insoluble surfactants and a linear dependency of the surface tension on the surfactant concentration. Subsequently a double asymptotic perturbation method is used in terms of small electric Reynolds number and capillary number in the limit of a diffusion-dominated surfactant transport mechanism. Also going beyond the widely employed axisymmetric framework, the coupled system of governing differential equations in three dimensions are then solved by adopting the `generalized Lamb solution technique'. The expressions of key variables suggest that the flow curvature of the external flow, the electric field effects and the surfactant effects are coupled in a non-trivial manner, well beyond a linear superposition. A careful investigation shows that surfactant-induced Marangoni stresses interacts with the electrohydrodynamic stresses in a highly coupled fashion. Owing to this, under different combinations of electrical conductivity and permittivity ratios, the Mason number and the applied electric field direction, the surfactants affect differently on the longitudinal as well as cross-stream migration velocity of the drop. The present results may be of utmost importance in providing a deep insight to the underlying complex physical mechanisms. Most importantly the ability of surfactants in selectively controlling the drop motion in different directions, makes them suitable for achieving a new degree of freedom in the electrical actuation of droplets in the microfluidic devices.

description: Vaccination uptake of influenza vaccine, 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine (PPV23) and herpes zoster vaccine (HZV) remains low among Chinese aged 50–69 years, posing a significant public health concern. This study’s aim is to determine the gap between the vaccination willingness and uptake. We conducted a face-to-face questionnaire survey among the persons aged 50–69 years in 13 communities in Shanghai in November–December 2020 to measure vaccination willingness, vaccine price sensitivity, vaccination service accessibility, and vaccine hesitancy. Then, we explored the factors influencing the vaccination uptake using a structural equation model. Vaccination willingness was 70.5% (self-paid influenza vaccine), 79.4% (free PPV23 for local persons), 54.7% (self-paid PPV23 for non-local persons), and 16.6% (self-paid HZV); however, actual uptake was 10.8% (influenza vaccine), 11.0% (free PPV23), and 2.5% (self-paid PPV23). Moreover, vaccination uptake was strongly influenced by service accessibility (β = 0.941), followed by willingness (β = 0.201), price sensitivity (β = −0.188), and medical history of vaccine-preventable diseases and underlying diseases (β = 0.176). Related knowledge (β = 0.017) and vaccine hesitancy (β = −0.003) affected the uptake indirectly. There is a gap between the vaccination willingness and uptake in Chinese elderly. It warrants specific measures, including increasing service accessibility and reforming payment mechanism, to bridge the gap.

Magnetic field induced partially polarized chiral spin liquid in a transition metal dichalcogenide moiré system

description: As one of the most intriguing states of matter, the chiral spin liquid (CSL) has attracted much scientific interest while its existence and mechanism in crystalline strongly correlated systems remain hotly debated. On the other hand, strong correlation driven emergent phenomena can be realized in twisted transition metal dichalcogenide bilayers with a tremendously tunable large length scale providing a new platform for the emergence of CSLs. We focus on a strongly correlated model relevant to heterobilayer $\textrm{WSe}_{2}/\textrm{MoSe}_{2}$ and investigate the Mott insulating phase at half filling under an out-of-plane magnetic field. Considering both its orbital and spin Zeeman effects we identify three conventionally ordered phases including a $120^{\circ}$ Néel phase, a stripe phase, and an up-up-down phase. For intermediate fields an emergent quantum spin liquid phase is identified with partial spin polarization. We further characterize its topological nature as the $ν$ = 1/2 Laughlin CSL through the topological entanglement spectrum and quantized spin pumping under spin flux insertion. In addition, we map out the quantum phase diagram for different twisted angles in an experimentally accessible parameter regime.

On the Homogenization of Diffusions in Periodic Comb-Like Structures

Subjects: subject: 19999 Mathematical Sciences not elsewhere classified

description: In this thesis we study the homogenization of diffusions in two particular comb-like structures. In both models, the comb can be viewed as a macroscopic diffusion with
a trapping mechanism. The processes spend non-trivial amounts of time in these traps and convergence is established using martingale problems and excursion theory. The limiting process has an explicit form as time-changed Brownian motion and also as the unique solution to a certain system of SDE. The limiting macroscopic
process is also shown to be a trapped diffusion whose Kolmogorov equation has a term with fractional-time derivatives.
Disentangling Intertwined Embedded States and Spin Effects in Light-Front Quantization

description: Naive light-front quantization, carried out by a light-front energy integration of covariant amplitudes, is not guaranteed to generate the corresponding Feynman amplitudes. In an explicit example we show that the nonvalence contribution to the minus-component of the EM current of a meson with fermion constituents has a persistent end-point singularity. Only after this term is subtracted, the result is covariant and satisfies current conservation. If the spin-1/2 constituents are replaced by spin zero ones, the singularity does not occur and the result is, without any adjustment, identical to the Feynman amplitude. Numerical estimates of valence and nonvalence contributions are presented for the cases of fermion and boson constituents.

Nonlocal correlations in the optical conductivity spectra

description: Optical conductivity spectra are studied for the Falicov-Kimball model with correlated hopping on the Bethe lattice. An expression for the current-current correlation function is derived using dynamical mean field theory. In the metallic phase with small correlated hopping values, the shape of Drude peak deviates from the Debye relaxation peak, and an additional wide peak is observed on the optical conductivity spectra and on Nyquist plot when Fermi level is in the vicinity of the two particle resonance. At larger values of the correlated hopping parameter, the density of states contains three bands and the corresponding optical spectra and Nyquist plots display a more complicated shape with additional peaks. For strong local correlations, the correlated hopping reduces the width of the upper Hubbard band resulting in a decrease of the Drude peak spectral weight for the doped Mott insulator.

description: Let $π: Y \to X$ be a branched $\mathbf{Z}/p \mathbf{Z}$-cover of smooth, projective, geometrically connected curves over a perfect field of characteristic $p>0$. We investigate the relationship between the $a$-numbers of $Y$ and $X$ and the ramification of the map $π$. This is analogous to the relationship between the genus (respectively $p$-rank) of $Y$ and $X$ given the Riemann-Hurwitz (respectively Deuring--Shafarevich) formula. Except in special situations, the $a$-number of $Y$ is not determined by the $a$-number of $X$ and the ramification of the cover, so we instead give bounds on the $a$-number of $Y$. We provide examples showing our bounds are sharp. The bounds come from a detailed analysis of the kernel of the Cartier operator.

description: We investigate the generalized Gross-Neveu model using the discretized light cone quantization and we find that the vacuum of the bare theory is {\sl non} trivial in presence of vectorial current coupling when the simplest and most natural form of quantum constraints is used. Nevertheless the vacuum of the renormalized theory is trivial. In the thermodynamic the Bethe-Salpiter equations which are obtained contain all the terms needed to make them finite.

description: Topoisomerase III beta (TOP3B) is one of the least-understood members of the topoisomerase family of proteins and remains enigmatic. Our recent data shed light on the function and relevance of TOP3B to disease. A homozygous deletion for the TOP3B gene was identified in a patient with bilateral renal cancer. Analyses in both patient and modelled human cells show the disruption of TOP3B causes genome instability with a rise in DNA damage and chromosome bridging (mis-segregation). The primary molecular defect underlying this pathology is a significant increase in R-loop formation. Our data show that TOP3B is necessary to prevent the accumulation of excessive R-loops and identify TOP3B as a putative cancer gene and support recent data show that R-loops are involved in cancer aetiology.
