description: We describe a general method for calculating the infra-red limit of physical quantities in unitary quantum field theories. Using analyticity of Green functions in a complex scale parameter, the infra-red limit is expressed as a contour integral entirely in the ultra-violet region. The infra-red limit is shown to be the limit of the Borel transform of the physical quantity. The method is illustrated by calculating the central charge of the perturbed unitary minimal models and the critical exponents of phi^4 theory in three dimensions. We obtain approximate values for the central charge which are very close to the exact values using only a one loop perturbative calculation. For phi^4 theory we obtain estimates which are within the errors of other more elaborate approaches.

description: Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is the failure of the fetus toachieve its genetically determined growth potential, which increasesrisks for a variety of genetic diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus, coronary artery disease, and stroke, during the lifetime. The dysregulation of DNA methylationis known to interact with environmental fluctuations, affect gene expressions comprehensively, and be fatal to fetus development in specific cases. Therefore, we set out to find out epigenetic and transcriptomic alterations associated with FGR development. We found a set of differentially expressed genes associated with differentially methylated regions in placentae and cord blood samples. Using dimensional reduction analysis, the expression and methylation variables of the epigenetically altered genes classified the FGR samples from the controls. These genes were also enriched in the biological pathways such as metabolism and developmental processes related to FGR. Furthermore, three genes of INS, MEG3, and ZFP36L2 are implicated in epigenetic imprinting, which has been associated with FGR. These results strongly suggest that DNA methylation is highly dysregulated during FGR development, and abnormal DNA methylation patterns are likely to alter gene expression.

Subjects: Computer Engineering

description: The proposed paper aims in developing an efficient block classification using histogram for compressing compound
images that contain graphics, text and picture images. In this paper, the given compound image is segmented into 8x8 blocks and these blocks are used for the image classification. The segmented blocks are classified into blocks of four different types: background blocks, text blocks, mixed blocks and picture blocks. The efficiency of block classification is observed to be of 97% for compound and computer generated images. The proposed block classification method is very simple and effective in compressing compound images. This paper discuss

description: This thesis is about methods for improving estimates of abundance and trends from distance sampling surveys. My particular focus is on point transect surveys of endemic Hawaiian songbirds. When critical assumptions are met, design-based distance sampling provides unbiased abundance estimates; however, for rare endangered Hawaiian forest birds, the estimates can have high variance, hindering their use in assessing conservation efforts. One approach to improve precision is to use spatial models instead of design-based methods. I fitted density surface models (DSMs), accounting for spatial and temporal correlation, using a two-stage approach that separated modelling of detection probability from modelling spatio-temporal patterns in density using generalized additive models (GAMs). Precision was improved and maps depicted spatio-temporal patterns in densities. I compared the model that I fitted for a single year to two alternative approaches: spatial point-process model based on a log-Gaussian Cox process with a Matérn covariance (LGCP) and a soap-film smoother. The GAM-based DSMs and LGCP approaches produced better precision than the design-based method but varied in how they captured pattern in the data. I also implemented a GAM that used a smoother which took into account the study area boundary (a soap-film smoother) and found this produced better extrapolations into parts of the study area not surveyed. Including biological realism is another approach to improve modelling of population change over time is to link design-based abundance estimates to an underlying population dynamics model, using a state-space modelling framework. This constrains population changes to be biologically realistic, as I demonstrate with a set of models that make different assumptions about the demographic parameters driving population changes. Overall, I demonstrate that spatial, spatio-temporal and population dynamics modelling procedures reduced the variance in density estimates in single- and multi-year abundance data compared to design-based methods, thus better informing management and conservation decisions.

description: We study the vector and axial-vector form factors of radiative kaon decay within the framework of the gauged nonlocal effective chiral action from the instanton vacuum, focusing on the effects of flavor SU(3) symmetry breaking. The general tendency of the results are rather similar to those of radiative pion decays: The nonlocal contributions make the results of the vector form factor increased by about $20\,\%$, whereas they reduce those of the axial-vector form factor by almost $30\,\%$. Suppressing the prefactors consisting of the kaon mass and the pion decay constant, we scrutinize how the kaon form factors undergo changes as the mass of the strange current quark is varied. Those related to the vector and second axial-vector form factors tend to decrease monotonically as the strange quark mass increases, whereas that for the axial-vector form factor decreases. When $K\to eνγ$ decay is considered, both the results of the vector and axial-vector form factors at the zero momentum transfer are in good agreement with the experimental data. The results are also compared with those from chiral perturbation theory to $p^6$ order.

description: We report on simulations of reversible random sequential adsorption of dimers on three different lattices: a one-dimensional lattice, a two-dimensional triangular lattice, and a two-dimensional triangular lattice with the nearest neighbors excluded. In addition to the adsorption of particles at a rate K+, we allow particles to leave the surface at a rate K-. The results from the one-dimensional lattice model agree with previous results for the continuous parking lot model. In particular, the long-time behavior is dominated by collective events involving two particles. We were able to directly confirm the importance of two-particle events in the simple two-dimensional triangular lattice. For the two-dimensional triangular lattice with the nearest neighbors excluded, the observed dynamics are consistent with this picture. The two-dimensional simulations were motivated by measurements of Ca++ binding to Langmuir monolayers. The two cases were chosen to model the effects of changing pH in the experimental system.

description: We study the phononic collective modes of the pairing field $Δ$ and their corresponding signature in both the order-parameter and density response functions for a superfluid Fermi gas at all temperatures below $T_c$ in the collisionless regime. The spectra of collective modes are calculated within the Gaussian Pair Fluctuation approximation. We deal with the coupling of these modes to the fermionic continuum of quasiparticle-quasihole excitations by performing a non-perturbative analytic continuation of the pairing field propagator. At low temperature, we recover the known exponential temperature dependence of the damping rate and velocity shift of the Anderson-Bogoliubov branch. In the vicinity of $T_c$, we find analytically a weakly-damped collective mode whose velocity vanishes with a critical exponent of $1/2$, and whose quality factor diverges logarithmically with $T_c-T$, thereby clarifying an existing debate in the literature (Andrianov et al. Th. Math. Phys. 28, 829, Ohashi et al. J. Phys. Jap. 66, 2437). A transition between these two phononic branches is visible at intermediary temperatures, particularly in the BCS limit where the phase-phase response function displays two maxima.

description: This paper presents the Virtual Element Method (VEM) for the modeling of crack propagation in 2D within the context of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM). By exploiting the advantage of mesh flexibility in the VEM, we establish an adaptive mesh refinement strategy based on the superconvergent patch recovery for triangular, quadrilateral as well as for arbitrary polygonal meshes. For the local stiffness matrix in VEM, we adopt a stabilization term which is stable for both isotropic scaling and ratio. Stress intensity factors (SIFs) of a polygonal mesh are discussed and solved by using the interaction domain integral. The present VEM formulations are finally tested and validated by studying its convergence rate for both continuous and discontinuous problems, and are compared with the optimal convergence rate in the conventional Finite Element Method (FEM). Furthermore, the adaptive mesh refinement strategies used to effectively predict the crack growth with the existence of hanging nodes in nonconforming elements are examined.

description: Lung cancer continues to be the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide due to its high incidence, malignant behaviour and lack of major advancements in treatment strategy. The occurrence and development of lung cancer is closely related to inﬂammation. Thus, we conducted the present study to investigate the effects of IL-38 (Interleukin 38), a newly identified anti-inflammatory factor, on non-small cell lung cancer (a novel prognostic indicator and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)), which accounts for about 85% of all lung cancers. We first evaluated the IL-38 expression in 384 pairs of NSCLC samples and their adjacent normal mucosa by real-time PCR, ELISA (enzyme-linked immunoassay) and tissue microarrays. Then the role of IL-38 on patient survival rates, cancer progression and their sensitivity to chemotherapy drugs was assessed. IL-38 was barely expressed in the NSCLC tissues but highly expressed in the adjacent normal tissues. The downregulation of IL-38 was significantly correlated with the results of American Joint Committee on Cancer stage, differentiation and it was also shown to be an independent prognostic indicator of disease-free survival and overall survival for patients with NSCLC. Overexpression of IL-38 in NSCLC cells suppressed cell migration, invasion, proliferation, colony formation through suppressing β-catenin. IL-38 inhibited NSCLC formation in the mice model and sensitized the cancer cells to chemotherapy drugs. Our results showed that IL-38 plays an inhibitory role in NSCLC development and function as a novel prognostic indicator and a potential therapeutic target.

Αυτό συμβαίνει εξαιτίας της ιδιαίτερα πλούσιας θρεπτικότητας του και πληθώρας οφελών που προσφέρει. Στην παρούσα πτυχιακή εργασία μελετάται η επίδραση που μπορεί να έχει η θερμοκρασία συντήρησης του γάλακτος στην διατήρηση της ποιότητας του, αλλά και της ασφάλειας του. Αρχικά, παρουσιάζεται η σύσταση του γάλακτος και τα φυσικοχημικά του στοιχεία ώστε να υπάρξει μια πλήρης εικόνα για τη φύση του τροφίμου. Στη συνέχεια, αναλύονται οι πιθανοί μικροβιολογικοί κίνδυνοι που μπορούν να προκύψουν στο γάλα λόγω της αυξημένης ευαισθησίας του στην μικροβιακή ανάπτυξη και τα είδη μικροοργανισμών που συναντώνται στο γάλα. Έπειτα, εκτεταμένη αναφορά γίνεται σε δύο πολύ σημαντικές πτυχές της διαδικασίας παραγωγής γάλακτος οι οποίες είναι η θερμική επεξεργασία και η συσκευασία. Η θερμική επεξεργασία και οι λοιπές διεργασίες καθιστούν το γάλα ασφαλές και η συσκευασία είναι υπεύθυνη για την προστασία του. Κλείνοντας, πραγματοποιήθηκε πειραματική άσκηση πάνω στο παστεριωμένο αγελαδινό γάλα με σκοπό την παρατήρηση της πορείας της ποιότητας του και του μικροβιακού του φορτίου όταν αυτό συντηρείται σε τρείς διαφορετικές θερμοκρασίες (4⁰C, 8⁰C και 12⁰C). Αξίζει να τονιστεί πως αρχικός στόχος ήταν η μελέτη εκτός από αγελαδινό, κατσικίσιου και πρόβειου γάλακτος, κάτι που όμως δεν κατέστη δυνατό εξαιτίας της έξαρσης της πανδημίας της COVID-19. Από την πειραματική άσκηση προέκυψε πως το καταλληλότερη θερμοκρασία συντήρησης του γάλακτος είναι όχι μεγαλύτερη των 4⁰C ώστε να διατηρηθεί ποιοτικό και ασφαλές.

description: Macro-particle tracking is a prominent method to study the collective beam instabilities in accelerators. However, the heavy computation load often limits the capability of the tracking codes. One widely used macro-particle tracking code to simulate collective instabilities in storage rings is mbtrack. The Message Passing Interface (MPI) is already implemented in the original mbtrack to accelerate the simulations. However, many CPU threads are requested in mbtrack for the analysis of the coupled-bunch instabilities. Therefore, computer clusters or desktops with many CPU cores are needed. Since these are not always available, we employ as alternative a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) with CUDA programming interface to run such simulations in a stand-alone workstation. All the heavy computations have been moved to the GPU. The benchmarks confirm that mbtrack-cuda can be used to analyze coupled bunch instabilities up to at least 484 bunches. Compared to mbtrack on an 8-core CPU, 36-core CPU and a cluster, mbtrack-cuda is faster for simulations of up to 3 bunches. For 363 bunches, mbtrack-cuda needs about six times the execution time of the cluster and twice of the 36-core CPU. The multi-bunch instability analysis shows that the length of the ion-cleaning gap has no big influence, at least at filling to 3/4.

description: We consider two quantum cosmological models with a massive scalar field: an ordinary Friedmann universe and a universe containing primordial black holes. For both models we discuss the complex solutions to the Euclidean Einstein equations. Using the probability measure obtained from the Hartle-Hawking no-boundary proposal, we find that the only unsuppressed black holes start at the Planck size but can grow with the horizon scale during the roll down of the scalar field to the minimum.

description: Survival models incorporating random effects to account for unmeasured heterogeneity are being increasingly used in biostatistical and applied research. Specifically, unmeasured covariates whose lack of inclusion in the model would lead to biased, inefficient results are commonly modelled by including a subject-specific (or cluster-specific) frailty term that follows a given distribution (e.g. Gamma or log-Normal). Despite that, in the context of parametric frailty models little is known about the impact of misspecifying the baseline hazard, the frailty distribution, or both. Therefore, our aim is to quantify the impact of such misspecification in a wide variety of clinically plausible scenarios via Monte Carlo simulation, using open source software readily available to applied researchers. We generate clustered survival data assuming various baseline hazard functions, including mixture distributions with turning points, and assess the impact of sample size, variance of the frailty, baseline hazard function, and frailty distribution. Models compared include standard parametric distributions and more flexible spline-based approaches; we also included semiparametric Cox models. The resulting bias can be clinically relevant. In conclusion, we highlight the importance of fitting models that are flexible enough and the importance of assessing model fit. We illustrate our conclusions with two applications using data on diabetic retinopathy and bladder cancer. Our results show the importance of assessing model fit with respect to the baseline hazard function and the distribution of the frailty: misspecifying the former leads to biased relative and absolute risk estimates while misspecifying the latter affects absolute risk estimates and measures of heterogeneity.

BPS-Saturated Bound States of Tilted P-Branes in Type II String Theory

description: We found BPS-saturated solutions of M-theory and Type II string theory which correspond to (non-marginally) bound states of p-branes intersecting at angles different from pi/2. These solutions are obtained by starting with a BPS marginally bound (orthogonally) intersecting configurations of two p-branes (e.g, two four-branes of Type II string theory), performing a boost transformation at an angle with respect to the world-volume of the configuration, performing T-duality transformation along the boost-direction, S-duality transformation, and T- transformations along the direction perpendicular to the boost transformation. The resulting configuration is non-marginally bound BPS-saturated solution whose static metric possesses the off-diagonal term which cannot be removed by a coordinate transformation, and thus signifies an angle (different from pi/2) between the resulting intersecting p-branes. Additional new p-branes are bound to this configuration, in order to ensure the stability of such a static, tilted configuration.

description: Let $G/K$ be a simply connected compact irreducible symmetric space of real rank one. For each $K$-type $τ$ we compare the notions of $τ$-representation equivalence with $τ$-isospectrality. We exhibit infinitely many $K$-types $τ$ so that, for arbitrary discrete subgroups $Γ$ and $Γ'$ of $G$, if the multiplicities of $λ$ in the spectra of the Laplace operators acting on sections of the induced $τ$-vector bundles over $Γ\backslash G/K$ and $Γ'\backslash G/K$ agree for all but finitely many $λ$, then $Γ$ and $Γ'$ are $τ$-representation equivalent in $G$ (i.e.\ $\dim \operatorname{Hom}_G(V_π, L^2(Γ\backslash G))=\dim \operatorname{Hom}_G(V_π, L^2(Γ'\backslash G))$ for all $π\in \widehat G$ satisfying $\operatorname{Hom}_K(V_τ,V_π)\neq0$). In particular $Γ\backslash G/K$ and $Γ'\backslash G/K$ are $τ$-isospectral (i.e.\ the multiplicities agree for all $λ$). We specially study the case of $p$-form representations, i.e. the irreducible subrepresentations $τ$ of the representation $τ_p$ of $K$ on the $p$-exterior power of the complexified cotangent bundle $\bigwedge^p T_{\mathbb C}^*M$. We show that for such $τ$, in most cases $τ$-isospectrality implies $τ$-representation equivalence. We construct an explicit counter-example for $G/K= \operatorname{SO}(4n)/ \operatorname{SO}(4n-1)\simeq S^{4n-1}$.

title: Character and Mood in Prose: Nine Original Pieces
Creators: name: Schroeder, Georgianna A.
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University
publisherIdentifier: https://ror.org/04zjtrb98
publisherIdentifierScheme: ROR
Year: 1983

description: This thesis in creative writing consists of both fiction and nonfiction. The fiction section includes three original short stories; the nonfiction, six original mood pieces.

My intention in writing the short stories is to portray the foibles of human nature while preserving the nobility of human character. I believe that all individuals possess the possibilities for good and evil and that their interactions with other individuals and their environments determine the realization of these possibilities in varying degrees.

The mood pieces are drawn from journal entries inspired by observations of life in Tidewater Virginia. The writings, both objective and introspective, and expressing personal reactions to the excitement and mystery of nature and the human spirit, are designed to invite readers to examine and ponder their own environments.

description: This document is the deliverable “D1.1 – Project Management Plan” of the Europeanproject “INTERLINK - Innovating goverNment and ciTizen co-dEliveRy for the digitaLsINgle marKet” (hereinafter also referred to as “INTERLINK”, Grant Agreement No959201).

The INTERLINK Project Management Plan (PMP) is the main planning document anddescribes how major aspects of the project are managed, monitored and controlled. It isintended to provide guidance and direction for specific management, planning, andcontrol activities such as schedule, cost, risk, communication, quality, etc. The focus of thisdocument is to describe the approaches being taken in the project to manage the variouswork packages, share and store documents, communicate among Consortium members,control the quality of project deliverables, identify and mitigate risks associated with theproject.

Benefits of creating a PMP include:* clearly define roles, responsibilities, processes and activities;* increase probability that projects will be completed on-time, within budget, andwith a high degree of quality;* ensure understanding of what was agreed upon;* help project teams identify and plan for how project activities will be managed(budget, quality, schedule, etc.).

The PMP is a work-in-progress kind of document that will be continuously updatedthroughout the project. The main updates will concern project KPIs, project risks andethical concerns, and will be periodically updated at the meetings of the PMB. Every timethe PMP will be updated, the new version will be uploaded in the INTERLINK website.The intended audience of the INTERLINK PMP consists of members of the INTERLINKConsortium and the Project Officer (PO).
Symmetry representation approach to topological invariants in $C_{2z}T$-symmetric systems

description: We study the homotopy classification of symmetry representations to describe the bulk topological invariants protected by the combined operation of a two-fold rotation $C_{2z}$ and time-reversal $T$ symmetries. We define topological invariants as obstructions to having smooth Bloch wave functions compatible with a momentum-independent symmetry representation. When the Bloch wave functions are required to be smooth, the information on the band topology is contained in the symmetry representation. This implies that the $d$-dimensional homotopy class of the unitary matrix representation of the symmetry operator corresponds to the $d$-dimensional topological invariants. Here, we prove that the second Stiefel-Whitney number, a two-dimensional topological invariant protected by $C_{2z}T$, is the homotopy invariant that characterizes the second homotopy class of the matrix representation of $C_{2z}T$. As an application of our result, we show that the three-dimensional bulk topological invariant for the $C_{2z}T$-protected topological crystalline insulator proposed by C. Fang and L. Fu in Phys. Rev. B 91, 161105(R) (2015), which we call the 3D strong Stiefel Whitney insulator, is identical to the quantized magnetoelectric polarizability. The bulk-boundary correspondence associated with the quantized magnetoelectric polarizability shows that the 3D strong Stiefel-Whitney insulator has chiral hinges states as well as 2D massless surface Dirac fermions. This shows that the 3D strong Stiefel Whitney insulator has the characteristics of both the first order and the second order topological insulators, simultaneously, which is consistent with the recent classification of higher-order topological insulators protected by an order-two symmetry.

Καρκίνος του μαστού
Αναγνώριση προτύπων
Τμηματοποίηση εικόνας
Χαρακτηριστικά υφής

description: Ο καρκίνος του μαστού είναι η συχνότερη μορφή καρκίνου στις γυναίκες παγκοσμίως με τον πολλαπλασιασμό των περιστατικών να αυξάνει τις απαιτήσεις για την καλύτερη διαχείριση της νόσου. Μέρος των προκλήσεων που αντιμετωπίζουν οι εργαζόμενοι στο χώρο της υγείας οφείλονται στην μεγάλη ετερογένεια του καρκίνου του μαστού τόσο στη μορφολογία όσο και στο μοριακό επίπεδο. Στην παρούσα ερευνητική εργασία εφαρμόζονται μέθοδοι αναγνώρισης προτύπων σε ιστοπαθολογικές εικόνες καρκίνου του μαστού διαφόρων διαβαθμίσεων (Grade I,II,III). Οι ιστοπαθολογικές εικόνες έχουν βαφτεί αρχικά με αιματοξυλίνη ηωσίνη και με ανοσοιστοχημική χρώση για την ανάδειξη των πυρήνων που εκφράζουν την πρωτεΐνη p63. Οι ιστοπαθολογικές εικόνες ψηφιοποιήθηκαν και πραγματοποιήθηκαν μέθοδοι επεξεργασίας εικόνας και μη εποπτευόμενης ταξινόμησης για την τμηματοποίηση της εικόνας και τελικά την επιλογή των πυρήνων που έχουν εκφραστεί με την p63 χρώση. Σε κάθε περιοχή ενδιαφέροντος επιλέχθηκαν 20 εκφρασμένοι πυρήνες από τους οποίους προέκυψαν ορισμένα χαρακτηριστικά υφής πρώτης και δεύτερης τάξης. Τα χαρακτηριστικά αυτά εξετάστηκαν για τη διαχωριστική τους ικανότητα μεταξύ των διαφορετικών βαθμών κακοήθειας και αντλήθηκαν ορισμένα συμπεράσματα από τα θηκογράμματα που προέκυψαν.

Efficient Block Classification of Computer Screen Images for Desktop Sharing using Neural Network
Creators: name: Kumar, Dr.P.S.Jagadeesh

Subjects: Computer Engineering

description: This paper presents a neural network based efficient block classification of compound images for desktop sharing. The objective is to maximize the precision and recall rate of the classification algorithm, while at the same time minimizing the execution and training time of the neural network. It segments computer screen images into text/graphics, picture/background blocks by using as input, the statistical features based on DWT coefficients in the sub-bands of each 8×8 block. The proposed algorithm can perform accurate block classification of text information
with different fonts, sizes and ways of arrangement from the background image, so that text/graphics blocks can be
compressed at higher quality than background image blocks. The proposed work is expected to minimize block
classification error due to the adaptive nature of neural network.

description: Microcanonical molecular dynamics study of the spontaneous alloying(SA), which is a manifestation of fast atomic diffusion in a nano-sized metal cluster, is done in terms of a simple two dimensional binary Morse model. Important features observed by Yasuda and Mori are well reproduced in our simulation. The temperature dependence and size dependence of the SA phenomena are extensively explored by examining long time dynamics. The dominant role of negative heat of solution in completing the SA is also discussed. We point out that a presence of melting surface induces the diffusion of core atoms even if they are solid-like. In other words, the {\it surface melting} at substantially low temperature plays a key role in attaining the SA.

Practical and reliable error bars for quantum process tomography

description: Current techniques in quantum process tomography typically return a single point estimate of an unknown process based on a finite albeit large amount of measurement data. Due to statistical fluctuations, however, other processes close to the point estimate can also produce the observed data with near certainty. Unless appropriate error bars can be constructed, the point estimate does not carry any sound operational interpretation. Here, we provide a solution to this problem by constructing a confidence region estimator for quantum processes. Our method enables reliable estimation of essentially any figure-of-merit for quantum processes on few qubits, including the diamond distance to a specific noise model, the entanglement fidelity, and the worst-case entanglement fidelity, by identifying error regions which contain the true state with high probability. We also provide a software package---QPtomographer---implementing our estimator for the diamond norm and the worst-case entanglement fidelity. We illustrate its usage and performance with several simulated examples. Our tools can be used to reliably certify the performance of e.g. error correction codes, implementations of unitary gates or more generally any noise process affecting a quantum system.

Jets and differential linear logic

description: We prove that the category of vector bundles over a fixed smooth manifold and its corresponding category of convenient modules are models for intuitionistic differential linear logic. The exponential modality is modelled by composing the jet comonad, whose Kleisli category has linear differential operators as morphisms, with the more familiar distributional comonad, whose Kleisli category has smooth maps as morphisms. Combining the two comonads gives a new interpretation of the semantics of differential linear logic where the Kleisli morphisms are smooth local functionals, or equivalently, smooth partial differential operators, and the codereliction map induces the functional derivative. This points towards a logic and hence computational theory of non-linear partial differential equations and their solutions based on variational calculus.
