How to find real-world applications for compressive sensing
Creators: name: Smith, Leslie N.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The potential of compressive sensing (CS) has spurred great interest in the research community and is a fast growing area of research. However, research translating CS theory into practical hardware and demonstrating clear and significant benefits with this hardware over current, conventional imaging techniques has been limited. This article helps researchers to find those niche applications where the CS approach provides substantial gain over conventional approaches by articulating lessons learned in finding one such application; sea skimming missile detection. As a proof of concept, it is demonstrated that a simplified CS missile detection architecture and algorithm provides comparable results to the conventional imaging approach but using a smaller FPA. The primary message is that all of the excitement surrounding CS is necessary and appropriate for encouraging our creativity but we all must also take off our "rose colored glasses" and critically judge our ideas, methods and results relative to conventional imaging approaches.

description: We present previously unpublished photometry of supernovae 2003gs and 2003hv. Using spectroscopically-derived corrections to the U-band photometry, we reconcile U-band light curves made from imagery with the Cerro Tololo 0.9-m, 1.3-m and Las Campanas 1-m telescopes. Previously, such light curves showed a 0.4 mag spread at one month after maximum light. This gives us hope that a set of corrected ultraviolet light curves of nearby objects can contribute to the full utilization of rest frame U-band data of supernovae at redshift ~0.3 to 0.8. As pointed out recently by Kessler et al. in the context of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey supernova search, if we take the published U-band photometry of nearby Type Ia supernovae at face value, there is a 0.12 mag U-band anomaly in the distance moduli of higher redshift objects. This anomaly led the Sloan survey to eliminate from their analyses all photometry obtained in the rest frame U-band. The Supernova Legacy Survey eliminated observer frame U-band photometry, which is to say nearby objects observed in the U-band, but they used photometry of high redshift objects no matter in which band the photons were emitted.

description: We report a first-principles study of the electronic structure of functionalized graphene nano-ribbon (aGNRs-f) by organic functional group (CH2C6H5) and find that CH2C6H5 functionalized group does not produce any electronic states in the gap and the band gap is direct. By changing both the density of the organic functional group and the width of the aGNRs-f, a band gap tuning exhibits a fine three family behavior through the side effect. Meanwhile, the carriers at conduction band minimum and valence band maximum are located in both CH2C6H5 and aGNR regions when the density of the CH2C6H5 is big; while they distribute dominantly in aGNR conversely. The band gap modulation effects make the aGNRs-f good candidates with high quantum efficiency and much more wavelength choices range from 750 to 93924 nm both for lasers, light emitting diodes and photo detectors due to the direct band gap and small carrier effective masses.

description: Second harmonic (SH) radiation in metal nanoparticles is generated by both nonlocal-bulk and local-surface SH sources, induced by the electromagnetic field at the fundamental frequency. We propose a surface integral equation (SIE) method for evaluating the SH radiation generated by metal nanoparticles with arbitrary shapes, considering all SH sources. We demonstrate that the contribution of the nonlocal-bulk SH sources to the SH electromagnetic field can be taken into account through equivalent surface electric and magnetic currents. We numerically solve the SIE problem by using the Galerkin method and the Rao-Wilton-Glisson basis functions in the framework of the distribution theory. The accuracy of the proposed method is verified by comparison with the SH-Mie analytical solution. As an example of a complex-shaped particle, we investigate the SH scattering by a triangular nano-prism. This method paves the way for a better understanding of the SH generation process in arbitrarily shaped nanoparticles and can also have a high impact in the design of novel nanoplasmonic devices with enhanced SH emission.
A Directed Acyclic Graph Network Combined With CNN and LSTM for Remaining Useful Life Prediction

Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Accurate and timely prediction of remaining useful life (RUL) of a machine enables the machine to have an appropriate operation and maintenance decision. Data-driven RUL prediction methods are more attractive to researchers because they can be deployed quicker and cheaper compared to other approaches. The existing deep neural network (DNN) models proposed for the applications of RUL prediction are mostly single-path and top-down propagation. In order to improve the prognostic accuracy of the network, this paper proposes a directed acyclic graph (DAG) network that combines long short term memory (LSTM) and a convolutional neural network (CNN) to predict the RUL. Different from the existing prediction models combined with CNN and LSTM, the method proposed in this paper combines CNN and LSTM organically instead of just using CNN for feature extraction. Moreover, when a single timestamp is used as an input, padding the signals in the same training batch would affect the prediction ability of the developed model. To overcome this drawback, the proposed method generates a short-term sequence by sliding the time window (TW) with one step size. In addition, based on the degradation mechanism, the piece-wise RUL function is used instead of the traditional linear function. In the experimental test, the turbofan engine degradation simulation dataset provided by NASA is used to validate the proposed RUL prediction model. By comparing with the existing methods using the same dataset, it can be concluded that the prediction method proposed in this paper has better prediction capability.

description: Recent studies showed the potential of stable isotopes of the macronutrient calcium (δ⁴⁴/⁴⁰Ca) and nonessential strontium (δ⁸⁸/⁸⁶Sr) as new trophic level indicators in terrestrial vertebrates and marine teleost fishes. In this study, we tested whether similar Ca and Sr isotopic fractionation trends existed in macroinvertebrate-dominated stream food webs compared to vertebrates despite their physiological differences. We have determined the δ⁴⁴/⁴⁰Ca and δ⁸⁸/⁸⁶Sr values as well as the ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios of stream macroinvertebrates and small gobies and their potential metal sources (stream water, periphyton, and terrestrial plant litter) in upper and lower reaches of two streams in the Lake Biwa catchment, central Japan. The ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios revealed that stonefly nymphs, crustacea, and gobies mostly relied on aquatic Sr sources. Higher ⁸⁷Sr/⁸⁶Sr ratios of some crane fly and caddisfly larvae, mayfly, dobsonfly, and dragonfly nymphs indicated greater terrestrial contributions via plant litter. Positive correlations between the δ⁴⁴/⁴⁰Ca and δ⁸⁸/⁸⁶Sr values implied that similar Ca and Sr sources existed, and that Ca and Sr stable isotopes underwent similar fractionation trends although Sr was not essential. The δ⁴⁴/⁴⁰Ca and partly the δ⁸⁸/⁸⁶Sr values were positively correlated with Sr/Ca ratios and negatively with δ¹⁵N values indicating trophic effects on Ca and Sr stable isotopes. The enrichment of ⁴⁴Ca and ⁸⁸Sr in large filter-feeding caddisfly larvae was a notable exception from these trophic trends. Our data confirm that the trophic ⁴⁴Ca and ⁸⁸Sr depletion observed for marine teleost fishes and terrestrial vertebrates also applied to macroinvertebrate-dominated stream food webs despite their different physiologies indicating that shared mechanisms of Ca and Sr isotopic fractionation may exist at the cellular or molecular level between these taxa.

description: We present solutions for Hall equilibria applicable to neutron star crusts. Such magnetic configurations satisfy a Grad-Shafranov-type equation, which is solved analytically and numerically. The solutions presented cover a variety of configurations, from purely poloidal fields connected to an external dipole to poloidal-toroidal fields connected to an external vacuum field, or fully confined within the star. We find that a dipole external field should be supported by a uniformly rotating electron fluid. The energy of the toroidal magnetic field is generally found to be a few percent of the total magnetic field energy for the fields with an external component. We discuss the evolution due to Ohmic dissipation which leads to slowing down of the electron fluid. We also find that the transition from an MHD equilibrium to a state governed by Hall effect, generates spontaneously an additional toroidal field in regions where the electron fraction changes.

description: Some of the principal heliophysical inferences that have been drawn from, or refined by, seismology, and the manner in which those inferences have been made, are very briefly described. Prominence is given to the use of simple formulae, derived either from simple toy models or from asymptotic approximations to more realistic situations, for tailoring procedures to be used for analysing observations in such a way as to answer specific questions about physics. It is emphasized that precision is not accuracy, and that confusing the two can be quite misleading.
Approximation Algorithms for Energy Minimization in Cloud Service Allocation under Reliability Constraints

Year: 2013

description: We consider allocation problems that arise in the context of service allocation in Clouds. More specifically, we assume on the one part that each computing resource is associated to a capacity constraint, that can be chosen using Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling (DVFS) method, and to a probability of failure. On the other hand, we assume that the service runs as a set of independent instances of identical Virtual Machines. Moreover, there exists a Service Level Agreement (SLA) between the Cloud provider and the client that can be expressed as follows: the client comes with a minimal number of service instances which must be alive at the end of the day, and the Cloud provider offers a list of pairs (price,compensation), this compensation being paid by the Cloud provider if it fails to keep alive the required number of services. On the Cloud provider side, each pair corresponds actually to a guaranteed success probability of fulfilling the constraint on the minimal number of instances. In this context, given a minimal number of instances and a probability of success, the question for the Cloud provider is to find the number of necessary resources, their clock frequency and an allocation of the instances (possibly using replication) onto machines. This solution should satisfy all types of constraints during a given time period while minimizing the energy consumption of used resources. We consider two energy consumption models based on DVFS techniques, where the clock frequency of physical resources can be changed. For each allocation problem and each energy model, we prove deterministic approximation ratios on the consumed energy for algorithms that provide guaranteed probability failures, as well as an efficient heuristic, whose energy ratio is not guaranteed.

description: In recent years, research on gear pitting fault diagnosis has been conducted. Most of the research has focused on feature extraction and feature selection process, and diagnostic models are only suitable for one working condition. To diagnose early gear pitting faults under multiple working conditions, this article proposes to develop a domain adaptation diagnostic model–based improved deep neural network and transfer learning with raw vibration signals. A particle swarm optimization algorithm and L2 regularization are used to optimize the improved deep neural network to improve the stability and accuracy of the diagnosis. When using the domain adaptation diagnostic model for fault diagnosis, it is necessary to discriminate whether the target domain (test data) is the same as the source domain (training data). If the target domain and the source domain are consistent, the trained improved deep neural network can be used directly for diagnosis. Otherwise, the transfer learning is combined with improved deep neural network to develop a deep transfer learning network to improve the domain adaptability of the diagnostic model. Vibration signals for seven gear types with early pitting faults under 25 working conditions collected from a gear test rig are used to validate the proposed method. It is confirmed by the validation results that the developed domain adaptation diagnostic model has a significant improvement in the adaptability of multiple working conditions.

description: The Mediterranean region is recognized as a climate change and anthropogenic pressures hotspot, especially with the high seasonality of precipitation and increased water demands. The coastal areas, in particular, are significantly vulnerable to the effect of this critical situation. In such conditions, groundwater plays a fundamental role in water security in the Mediterranean region. Groundwater is considered as a strategic freshwater reserve. However, its status remains poorly characterized, and its total budget uncertain. In this study, we argue that large-scale groundwater modelling has shown great potential for improvement of our physical understanding of groundwater systems functioning and to the guidance of implementing science-based adaptation and sustainable mitigation measures in the Mediterranean. In recent years, groundwater modelling has moved from local to regional/global scale, offering insights into the status of data-scarce regions. However, it remains unclear to what extent those models can be used to support management decisions. This study aims to evaluate the performance of three global gradient-based groundwater models to represent the groundwater levels at steady-state and transient regimes in different Mediterranean aquifers. In this investigation, the groundwater models of Fan et al. (2013), de Graaf et al. (2017), and Reinecke et al. (2019) are used. Comparison between the groundwater level predictions of the three models was conducted. Then, comparison between the water table depths simulated by each model with the corresponding in-situ data in three case studies: La Mancha aquifer in Spain, an island aquifer in Crete, Greece and the Cap Bon Peninsula in Tunisia, were performed. Preliminary results showed that there is a large discrepancy between the three compared model outputs. More specifically, the de Graaf et al. (2017) model presents a deeper water table than Reinecke et al. (2019) and Fan et al. (2013), while de Graaf et al. (2017) generally shows greater variability in simulated water table depth. This study contributes in enhancing the role of regional-scale groundwater modeling as an important tool in assessing and predicting changes in groundwater levels in data-scarce regions, under considerable climate variability and increasing anthropogenic pressures.

description: Strong Stark splitting, which is nearly independent of the R-ions replacement, has been observed through the photoluminescence investigation of electronic ferroelectric Er1-xYbxFe2O4 (x=0, 0.8, 0.9 and 0.95). Initially multiple radiative decay channels have been investigated, especially the visible transition 4F9/2-->4I15/2, of which a quenching effect has been observed. A series of small non-Raman peaks have been observed superimposed on a broadband photoluminescence spectrum, of which we tentatively assign Stark splitting to be the cause. The splitting of the 4F9/2 and 4I15/2 levels is found to be 54meV and 66meV, respectively. This unusually large Stark splitting at visible range indicates the existence of strong local field originated from the W-layer in the charge-frustrated ErFe2O4.
title: L’inerte et le vivant en chirurgie urologique
Creators: name: PEYROMAURE, Michael
Publisher: name: Académie Nationale de Chirurgie
Year: 2017

description: L’urologie est une discipline médico-chirurgicale qui, de manière générale, fait peu appel aux prothèses synthétiques. Deux situations sont à distinguer : les dispositifs de drainage et/ou instillations, situés au contact de l’urine, et ceux de soutien ou de compression, positionnés en dehors du flux urinaire.
La particularité de rapidement s’infecter et d’être le siège d’incrustations lithiasiques. A titre d’exemple, 80 % des infections urinaires nosocomiales sont liées à la présence d’une sonde vésicale, ce qui représente un véritable problème de santé publique en termes de morbidité, de résistance aux antibiotiques, et de coût.
Dans le second cas, il s’agit surtout des dispositifs utilisés pour corriger l’incontinence urinaire et les troubles de la statique pelvienne (bandelettes sous-urétrales ou de promontofixation, ballonnet péri-urétral et sphincter urinaire artificiel). Ces dispositifs ont des taux importants de succès, avec peu de morbidité et une excellence tolérance, dès lors qu’ils ne présentent aucun contact avec l’urine. A l’inverse, en cas d’érosion de la filière urinaire, les complications sont systématiques et souvent graves, conduisant au retrait du dispositif.
Contrairement à d’autres disciplines chirurgicales, comme la chirurgie cardio-vasculaire par exemple, l’urologie se caractérise donc par l’impossibilité de faire coexister à long terme l’inerte et son fluide naturel, qui est l’urine.

description: Urology is a medical surgical specialty, which rarely uses synthetic prostheses. Two situations have to be distinguished: drainage and/or instillation devices, which are in contact with urine, and occlusive or compression devices, which are located outside urinary flow.
The first case is mainly represented by urethral or ureteral prostheses. Those devices are sources of early infections and stone obstructions. For instance, 80% of nosocomial urinary tract infections are related to the presence of a bladder catheter, which represents a major public health issue in terms of morbidity, resistance to antibiotics and financial cost.
The second case is mainly represented by devices used to cure urinary incontinence and pelvic floor disorders: urethral and promontofixation slings, periurethral balloons, artificial urinary sphincter. Those devices have a high rate of success, with low morbidity and excellent tolerance, as far as they have no contact with urine. Nevertheless, in case of urinary tract erosion, complications are unavoidable and often severe, leading to removal of the device.
Unlike other surgical specialties, such as cardiovascular surgery for instance, urology is therefore characterized by the impossible long-term coexistence of the inert and its natural fluid, urine.

title: Probing nuclear density tails with antiprotons at PUMA: Detection and method
Creators: name: Zacarias, Sabrina
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2022

description: Low-energy antiprotons can be used as a probe to study the proton and neutron content of the nuclear density tail. Towards the neutron drip line, this region is characterized by the development of neutron skins and the emergence of halos. As of today, there is no facility that can provide a low-energy antiproton-radioactive ion collider. At CERN (Switzerland), however, the existence of both a Radioactive Ion Beam facility (ISOLDE) and a facility to produce antiprotons (the Antimatter Factory) provides a feasible ground to generate these interactions. The antiProton Unstable Matter Annihilation experiment (PUMA) aims at transporting 10e9 antiprotons from the Antimatter Factory to ISOLDE to study the nuclear density tail by measuring the neutron-to-proton annihilation ratio of both stable and short-lived nuclei. In this work, the development of the Time Projection Chamber (TPC), main detection component of the charged annihilation products, is presented. As the detector aims at being inserted into the bore of the 4 T solenoid of PUMA, a compact and low-maintenance device is required. The geometrical design was based on Monte-Carlo simulations optimized for detection efficiency and charge identification. The electrical design was also optimized to provide an homogeneous electric field in the drift region of the detector. Finally, the mechanical design was performed. The sensitivity of the method used at PUMA is investigated with an atomic cascade code applied to antiprotonic tin and calcium atoms to study the impact of the unknown capture states. Benchmarks of the code with X-ray data provide an initial estimation of the capture parameters and the cascade calculations show that 70% of the annihilations occur at the circular states (n, l = n−1), validating the PUMA concept. The isotopic sensitivity of the annihilation width ratio obtained from the measurement is quantified. Additional theoretical developments that describe the full capture and cascade are needed to account for the impact of low-l annihilations which are here observed to be non-negligible.

description: We experimentally study the behavior of a particle slightly denser than the surrounding liquid in solid body rotating flow. Earlier work revealed that a heavy particle has an unstable equilibrium point in unbounded rotation flows. In the confinement of the rotational flow by a cylindrical wall a heavy sphere with density 1.05 g/cm$^3$ describes an orbital motion in our experiments. This is due to the effect of the wall near the sphere, i.e. a repulsive force ($F_w$). We model $F_w$ on the sphere as a function of the distance from the wall ($L$): $F_W \propto L^{-4}$ as proposed by Takemura and Magnaudet (2003). Remarkably, the path from the model including $F_w$ reproduce the experimentally measured trajectory. In addition during an orbital motion the particle does not spin around its axis, and we provide a possible explanation for this phenomenon.

description: A two-step protocol allowing the C−H amination of cyclic ethers with iminoiodinanes, followed by the reduction of the resulting intermediate has been developed for the preparation of amino alcohols. The initial C−H functionalization is accelerated by visible light, improving the reactivity compared to the thermal process performed in the dark. The effect of different substituents on the photochemical reactivity of iminoiodinanes has been studied both experimentally and computationally. Photophysical measurements and DFT calculations were performed to better understand the observed reactivities and corroborate the proposed mechanistic proposal.

description: We present the calculation of the NLO QCD corrections to the associated production of a Higgs boson and two jets, in the infinite top-mass limit. We discuss the technical details of the computation and we show the numerical impact of the radiative corrections on several observables at the LHC. The results are obtained by using a fully automated framework for fixed order NLO QCD calculations based on the interplay of the packages GoSam and Sherpa. The evaluation of the virtual corrections constitutes an application of the d-dimensional integrand-level reduction to theories with higher dimensional operators. We also present first results for the one-loop matrix elements of the partonic processes with a quark-pair in the final state, which enter the hadronic production of a Higgs boson together with three jets in the infinite top-mass approximation.

description: Abstract. Today, there is a sufficient pedagogical need to organize the independent education of students of higher education institutions based on a creative approach. Therefore, the development of independent education based on creativity is one of the urgent research issues. This article examines the specific features of organizing independent education based on a creative approach. At the same time, the didactic possibilities of organizing independent education on the basis of creativity are highlighted. In addition, special attention is paid to the methods, factors and basic conditions of organizing independent education based on a creative approach in the preparation of future specialists as educated, qualified and mature individuals.
Selected Crop Enterprise Cost Budgets for Oregon

description: Excerpt: The purpose of this report is to make available to cooperating agencies the crop enterprise cost data developed as input data to the Pacific Northwest Region least-cost linear programming model. These crop budgets were prepared specifically for use in an economic evaluation of the productive capacity of the land resources. Therefore, the input costs, machinery performance rates, and assumptions in the budgets, are consistent in all budgets. Costs were calculated by a crop budget generator program developed at Oklahoma State University and recently installed on the computer at Oregon State University. Use of the crop budget generator greatly facilitates calculation of costs and consistency of assumptions among budgets.
description: This report contains budgets for the following crops: wheat, barley, oats, potatoes, field corn, seed corn, sweet corn for processing, wild hay, alfalfa hay, and clover-timothy hay. Irrigated, nonirrigated, and various rotation practice budgets are included where applicable.
Elastic and quasi-elastic electron scattering off nuclei with neutron excess

description: We present theoretical predictions for electron scattering on oxygen and calcium isotopic chains. The calculations are done within the framework of the distorted-wave Born approximation and the proton and neutron density distributions are evaluated adopting a relativistic Dirac-Hartree model. We present results for the elastic and quasi-elastic cross sections and for the parity-violating asymmetry. As a first step, the results of the models are tested in comparison with some of the data available for elastic and quasi-elastic scattering on 16O and 40Ca nuclei. Then, the evolution of some nuclear properties is investigated as a function of the neutron number. We also present a comparison with the parity-violating asymmetry parameter obtained by the PREX Collaboration on 208Pb and give a prediction for the future experiment CREX on 48Ca.

Post-Conflict Reconstruction in Rwanda and Burundi
Creators: name: Johnston, Kyle
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Comparative Politics
subject: Economic Development
subject: Post-Conflict Reconstruction

description: Why do some post-conflict states achieve stability and economic growth while others remain poor and unstable? Rwanda and Burundi, two neighboring states, experienced similar colonial histories, ethnic tensions, civil wars, genocides, cultures, and pre-civil war poverty. Prior to the end of their most recent civil wars, the two states seemed to be on similar trajectories. Yet Rwanda has achieved incredible success in implementing stability, economic development, and poverty alleviation in their post-war period under President Kagame and the Rwandan Patriotic Front while Burundi has remained unstable and poor under its power-sharing agreement following the Arusha Peace and Reconciliation Agreement for Burundi that ended its civil war. By comparing public administration, economic, and civil society reforms in both states, this paper argues that the centralization of power in President Kagame as well as the complete removal from political institutions of the Hutu regime that instigated the Rwandan Genocide has allowed Rwanda to institute reforms that have not be possible in Burundi, due to rent-seeking encouraged by the power-sharing agreement implemented there.
Effective theory for the Vainshtein mechanism from the Horndeski action

description: Starting from the general Horndeski action, we derive the most general effective theory for scalar perturbations around flat space that allows us to screen fifth forces via the Vainshtein mechanism. The effective theory is described by a generalization of the Galileon Lagrangian, which we use to study the stability of spherically symmetric configurations exhibiting the Vainshtein effect. In particular, we discuss the phenomenological consequences of a scalar-tensor coupling that is absent in the standard Galileon Lagrangian. This coupling controls the superluminality and stability of fluctuations inside the Vainshtein radius in a way that depends on the density profile of a matter source. Particularly we find that the vacuum solution is unstable due to this coupling.

From Self-development to the Revision of Utilitarianism: J.S. Mill’s Autobiography and Moral Philosophy
Creators: name: Bai, Yixin
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Utilitarianism
subject: John Stuart Mill
subject: Cultivation

description: Many scholars envisage Mill’s crisis as the mental manifestation of his Oedipus complex. Indeed, a close examination of the Autobiography reveals the internal tension between filial piety and Mill’s willingness to be mentally independent of his father. But mere psychoanalytic scrutiny of Mill’s crisis overlooks the important role of this event, which signals the transitional point of his intellectual trajectory and justifies his revision of Bentham’s utilitarianism. This paper tries to analyze Mill’s tactic in his Autobiography. By portraying himself as the victim of psychological failings of Bentham and James Mill, John Mill justifies his revision of classical utilitarianism. And the “self” orientation pervades his moral philosophy and political thought.
