description: The probability laws associated with random tensors or tensor field theories are traditionally equilibrium distributions. In this paper, we consider a stochastic point of view, and approach the quantization by a Langevin type equation. We especially address the low-temperature behavior of the phase ordering kinetics of a stochastic complex tensor field $T_{i_1\cdots i_d}(x,t)$ of size $N$ and rank $d$ in dimension $D$. The method we propose use the self averaging property of the tensorial invariants in the large $N$ limit. In this regime, the dynamics is governed by the melonic sector, whose behavior is studied in the quenched limit, where the contractions involving $d-1$ indices self-average around a diagonal matrix proportional to the identity. The following work especially focuses on the cyclic (i.e. non-branching) melonic sector, and we study the way that the system returns to the equilibrium regime regarding the temperature and the shape of the potential. In particular, we provide a general formula for the transition temperature between these regimes. The manuscript is accompanied by numerical simulations to support the theoretical analysis, and essentially aims to open towards this new field of investigation.

Infants Activity Recognition based on human pose estimation as a support for privacy-preserving neurodevelopmental disorders diagnosis
Creators: name: Sguazza, Simone
Publisher: name: Scuola Universitaria della Svizzera Italiana (SUPSI)
Year: 2020

description: The project focuses on a Computer Vision application, which aims to help automation in the analysis of infant behaviors in order to help in the early diagnosis of neurological developmental disorders. The analyzed dataset corresponds to a set of videos of infants aged between 15 and 18 months, free to move inside a fixed multi-camera indoor environment, in an individual free play area with close interaction with the educator and other children outside the free play area. The context of this application is to help the doctors examine how infants use some specific toys to detect neurological developmental disorders. This task is mostly performed manually by the experts who monitor each video and make annotations, but is a time-consuming task. This application is designed to help experts automate this task. Infants are not aware of the cameras; they explore and interact with the environment and the adult. The video data is not collected for a Computer Vision application, the child can move freely and do whatever he or she wants. Unlike most State of Art studies, where the environment and the subject are in function of skeletal extraction to obtain a qualitative sample, nothing was done here to limit the external noise during the environmental preparation. In my work I focus on the detection and tracking of a generic infants in a noisy environment, extract and stabilize the skeleton. I exploit the skeleton to infer human activity. The generic tracker works quite well, but it is not always robust enough to follow the child like a human all the time. Even with a perfect track, skeletons extracted may have problems estimating the specific position of the child's skeleton due to the camera angle and perspective. A large variance of skeletons for the same action leads to a poor performance of the classifier. With this work we demonstrate per potential of using computer vision technologies for anonymizing videos, and for automatically perform a mobility analysis which provide a precious support in the diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders in infants. The project was divided into three main phases: - The first phase is to track a generic infant in a delimited free play area, where it plays with specific toys and/or explore the environment. I built a tailored Machine Learning Tracker to address the problem of aliasing introduced by the adult on the ground within the free play area. - The second phase is to generate the skeleton with OpenPose technology and stabilize it with a Linear Kalman filter. - The third step is to extract the skeleton, encode the information of the three cameras within an image and infer the actions with a tailored CNN architecture classifier.

description: In this paper, linear transceiver design for dual-hop non-regenerative (amplify-and-forward (AF)) MIMO-OFDM systems under channel estimation errors is investigated. Second order moments of channel estimation errors in the two hops are first deduced. Then based on the Bayesian framework, joint design of linear forwarding matrix at the relay and equalizer at the destination under channel estimation errors is proposed to minimize the total mean-square-error (MSE) of the output signal at the destination. The optimal designs for both correlated and uncorrelated channel estimation errors are considered. The relationship with existing algorithms is also disclosed. Moreover, this design is extended to the joint design involving source precoder design. Simulation results show that the proposed design outperforms the design based on estimated channel state information only.

"Between knowing and not knowing" : privacy, transparency and digital records
Creators: name: Hofman, Darra
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: As the world has become more digitized, with records datafied, aggregated, sold and resold by data brokers, and analyzed by algorithms, there has been hue and cry about privacy. Simultaneously, “transparency” has achieved almost talismanic status, invoked in contexts from privacy policies to open government movements as a means to achieve more accountable, democratic processes. As old fears of surveillance by Big Brother have yielded to multiveillance of individuals, communities and groups by a multitude of corporate and government entities, records, especially digital records, have become a site of conflict for questions about access, about how and by whom one is known, and about how to negotiate the space “between knowing and not knowing” (Han, 2015, 247). This dissertation examines the relationship between privacy and transparency in digital records from an archival perspective. Using a qualitative research design, it explored the legal, social, technical, and practice-oriented aspects of privacy and transparency with regards to digital records in Canadian and American archival practice. Doctrinal legal research provided an overview of the legal requirements. A critical interpretive synthesis of the literature revealed major lines-of-argument for both privacy and transparency. A case study examined the challenges of privacy and transparency in novel information technology, and the impact of data-centric, as opposed to records-based, approaches. Document analysis of privacy and access policies from a variety of archival institutions, and a focus group interview with archivists, records managers, and privacy officers, explored the lived reality of privacy and transparency. The findings show “privacy” and “transparency” function as umbrella constructs, encompassing practices, values, actions, and contextual factors, which can conflict or overlap. Indeed, the constructs can contradict themselves; transparency, for example, functions as metaphor for both visibility and invisibility depending upon context. Furthermore, this study found that recordkeeping practices are fundamental to enabling/constraining privacy and transparency outcomes. Finally, the study found that the transactional nature of legal and bureaucratic records is key to their transparency and accountability functions, but digitization has turned documents and non-legal records into records through mediation. The study concludes with a framework for making privacy and transparency decisions about digital records.

description: We propose a simple formalism to design unitary gates robust against given systematic errors. This formalism generalizes our previous observation [Y. Kondo and M. Bando, J. Phys. Soc. Jpn. 80, 054002 (2011)] that vanishing dynamical phase in some composite gates is essential to suppress amplitude errors. By employing our formalism, we naturally derive a new composite unitary gate which can be seen as a concatenation of two known composite unitary operations. The obtained unitary gate has high fidelity over a wider range of the error strengths compared to existing composite gates.

description: The rise in the cosmic-ray positron fraction measured by the PAMELA satellite is likely due to the presence of astrophysical sources of positrons, e.g. pulsars, on the kpc scale around the Earth. Nevertheless, assessing the properties of these sources from the positron data requires a good knowledge of the secondary positron component generated by the interaction of cosmic rays with the interstellar gas. In this paper, we investigate the impact of the spectral hardening in the cosmic-ray proton and helium fluxes recently reported by the ATIC2 and CREAM balloon experiments, on the predictions of the secondary positron flux. We show that the effect is not negligible, leading to an increase of the secondary positron flux by up to $\sim$60% above $\sim$100 GeV. We provide fitting formulae that allow a straightforward utilization of our results, which can help in deriving constraints on one's favorite primary positron source, e.g. pulsars or dark matter.

Soddisfazione di vita e competenze socio-emotive nel primo biennio di scuola media

Year: 2012

description: Il presente lavoro di ricerca si interroga su quali correlazioni esistano tra le competenze socio-emotive degli allievi e la soddisfazione che questi provano per la vita che stanno conducendo. Lo studio ha interessato un campione di 661 alunni di prima e di seconda media, divisi su undici sedi scolastiche del cantone: le loro risposte sono state raccolte attraverso un questionario, Middle Years Development Instrument [MDI], sperimentato con successo in British Columbia e leggermente adattato alla realtà nostrana. Ai fini delle analisi, gli items sono stati raggruppati in diversi costrutti, sulla base di scale usate internazionalmente per studi di questo tipo: Soddisfazione di vita, Ottimismo, Benessere psicologico, diviso in Ansia e Depressione, Autostima, Empatia e comportamento altruista (e sotto-gruppi omonimi). Sempre ai fini dell’indagine, ho pure tenuto conto di quattro variabili socio-anagrafiche: il sesso, la classe frequentata, la prima lingua imparata, e quella parlata a casa. La ricerca ha dimostrato che tra la Soddisfazione di vita e le altre competenze socio-emotive, così come tra il Benessere psicologico e l’Ottimismo, vi sono strette correlazioni, almeno parzialmente indipendenti dalle variabili socio-anagrafiche considerate, sebbene quelle con il costrutto Empatia e comportamento altruista facciano spesso eccezione (ne sono però emerse di significative e negative fra quest’ultimo costrutto e Benessere psicologico).

description: Virtual reality (VR) is known to cause a "time compression" effect, where the time spent in VR feels to pass faster than the effective elapsed time. Our goal with this research is to investigate if the physical realism of a VR experience reduces the time compression effect on a gas monitoring training task that requires precise time estimation. We used physical props and passive haptics in a VR task with high physical realism and compared it to an equivalent standard VR task with only virtual objects. We also used an identical real-world task as a baseline time estimation task. Each scenario includes the user picking up a device, opening a door, navigating a corridor with obstacles, performing five short time estimations, and estimating the total time from task start to end. Contrary to previous work, there was a consistent time dilation effect in all conditions, including the real world. However, no significant effects were found comparing the estimated differences between the high and low physical realism conditions. We discuss implications of the results and limitations of the study and propose future work that may better address this important question for virtual reality training.
Perfectionism and therapy relationship quality in psychodynamic-interpersonal group psychotherapy
Creators: name: Zhang, Lisa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: Perfectionism has been identified as a core vulnerability and maintenance factor in myriad psychopathologies and additionally appears to obstruct the course of improvement from the treatment of that psychopathology. The Perfectionism Social Disconnection Model posits that perfectionism is related to various negative outcomes through the mediating effects of social disconnection. When applied to the therapy realm, one would expect that perfectionism impedes the formation and growth of therapy relationships and that this then leads to worse outcomes from psychotherapy (e.g. less symptomatic improvement). Much of what is known about perfectionism in the context of psychotherapy comes from a series of papers stemming from a single study, the Treatment of Depression Collaborative Research Program (TDCRP, Elkin et al., 1989). These papers support the notion that perfectionism impairs both therapeutic alliance and therapeutic outcomes. This dissertation seeks to evaluate the Perfectionism Social Disconnection Model in the context of psychotherapy and to extend what is known about the relationships between perfectionism, therapy relationship quality, and therapy outcomes beyond the context of individual group treatment of depression using contemporary, empirically validated multidimensional measures of perfectionism. Furthermore, previous studies addressing these issues have mostly conceptualized perfectionism as a static measure. It is unknown if treatments that lead to decreases in perfectionism also improve therapy relationship quality and if those changes account for better therapeutic outcomes. The current paper addresses these questions in a group of 71 patients taking part in a group psychodynamic-interpersonal psychotherapy treatment designed to address issues related to perfectionism. Hypotheses were that 1) pre-treatment perfectionism would be negatively related to initial therapy relationship quality, 2) decreases in perfectionism would be accompanied by increases in therapy relationship quality, and 3) that changes in therapy relationship quality would account for the relationship between decreases in perfectionism and better therapy outcomes. In the current study, these hypotheses were not supported. These null results are discussed in the context of a literature that suggests that perfectionism is related to both worse treatment outcomes and to interpersonal difficulties both in therapy and non-therapy contexts.

description: The number of citations received by authors in scientific journals has become a major parameter to assess individual researchers and the journals themselves through the impact factor. A fair assessment therefore requires that the criteria for selecting references in a given manuscript should be unbiased with respect to the authors or the journals cited. In this paper, we advocate that authors should follow two mandatory principles to select papers (later reflected in the list of references) while studying the literature for a given research: i) consider similarity of content with the topics investigated, lest very related work should be reproduced or ignored; ii) perform a systematic search over the network of citations including seminal or very related papers. We use formalisms of complex networks for two datasets of papers from the arXiv repository to show that neither of these two criteria is fulfilled in practice.

Chlamydomonas reinhardtii

description: Sustainable and economically viable support for an ever-increasing global population requires a paradigm shift in agricultural productivity, including the application of biotechnology to generate future crop plants. Current genetic engineering approaches aimed at enhancing the photosynthetic efficiency or composition of the harvested tissues involve relatively simple manipulations of endogenous metabolism. However, radical rewiring of central metabolism using new-to-nature pathways, so-called “synthetic metabolism”, may be needed to really bring about significant step changes. In many cases, this will require re-programming the metabolism of the chloroplast, or other plastids in non-green tissues, through a combination of chloroplast and nuclear engineering. However, current technologies for sophisticated chloroplast engineering (“transplastomics”) of plants are limited to just a handful of species. Moreover, the testing of metabolic rewiring in the chloroplast of plant models is often impractical given their obligate phototrophy, the extended time needed to create stable non-chimeric transplastomic lines, and the technical challenges associated with regeneration of whole plants. In contrast, the unicellular green alga, Chlamydomonas reinhardtii is a facultative heterotroph that allows for extensive modification of chloroplast function, including non-photosynthetic designs. Moreover, chloroplast engineering in C. reinhardtii is facile, with the ability to generate novel lines in a matter of weeks, and a well-defined molecular toolbox allows for rapid iterations of the “Design-Build-Test-Learn” (DBTL) cycle of modern synthetic biology approaches. The recent development of combinatorial DNA assembly pipelines for designing and building transgene clusters, simple methods for marker-free delivery of these clusters into the chloroplast genome, and the pre-existing wealth of knowledge regarding chloroplast gene expression and regulation in C. reinhardtii further adds to the versatility of transplastomics using this organism. Herein, we review the inherent advantages of the algal chloroplast as a simple and tractable testbed for metabolic engineering designs, which could then be implemented in higher plants.

description: Research Background: Although it is a highly nutritious and climate resistant crop, bambara groundnut is described as a neglected and under-utilized crop in most countries including Nigeria where its production is in the hands of some smallholder farmers. Empirical facts on the profitability as well as the technical efficiency of bambara groundnut production in Kogi state, Nigeria, where it serves as an important source of food and income, are unknown. These facts, when known, can draw the attention of stakeholders to intervention areas. Purpose of the article: The research was undertaken to provide factual data through empirical analyses on the cost, returns and technical efficiency of smallholder bambara groundnut farmers in the area, in to order elicit interest in the neglected crop. Such attention may aid in the expansion of the crop’s production through interventions in identified areas of concern. Methods: A five-stage sampling technique was employed in the random selection of 120 farmers for questionnaire administration in order to obtain the requisite data. Data on cost and returns were subjected to Gross Margin and Net Return on Investment analyses while the Cobb-Douglas Stochastic Frontier Production Function was employed in analysing technical efficiency. Findings and value added: Producers of bambara groundnut in the area are small scale farmers who are old, poorly educated and have large families. Cost and returns analysis showed that labour had the highest percentage of Total Variable Cost (78.00%). The venture, with a gross margin of -11,601.87 Nigerian Naira (-60.31 USD) and Net Returns on Investment of 0.79, is unprofitable. Experience and education affect the moderately high technical efficiency level which on the average is 71.2%. Bambara groundnut production in the area can be made profitable through labour cost reduction and improvement in average efficiency level by 28.8%. The provision of machinery to help reduce labour cost, in addition to special policy attention that will enhance improvements in education and extension services will reduce inefficiency and improve profitability.

description: We address the problem of recovering signals from samples taken at their rate of innovation. Our only assumption is that the sampling system is such that the parameters defining the signal can be stably determined from the samples, a condition that lies at the heart of every sampling theorem. Consequently, our analysis subsumes previously studied nonlinear acquisition devices and nonlinear signal classes. In particular, we do not restrict attention to memoryless nonlinear distortions or to union-of-subspace models. This allows treatment of various finite-rate-of-innovation (FRI) signals that were not previously studied, including, for example, continuous phase modulation transmissions. Our strategy relies on minimizing the error between the measured samples and those corresponding to our signal estimate. This least-squares (LS) objective is generally non-convex and might possess many local minima. Nevertheless, we prove that under the stability hypothesis, any optimization method designed to trap a stationary point of the LS criterion necessarily converges to the true solution. We demonstrate our approach in the context of recovering pulse streams in settings that were not previously treated. Furthermore, in situations for which other algorithms are applicable, we show that our method is often preferable in terms of noise robustness.

description: Predicting functional outcomes after surgery and early adjuvant treatment is difficult due to the complex, extended, interlocking brain networks that underpin cognition. The aim of this study was to test glioma functional interactions with the rest of the brain, thereby identifying the risk factors of cognitive recovery or deterioration. Seventeen patients with diffuse non-enhancing glioma (aged 22–56 years) were longitudinally MRI scanned and cognitively assessed before and after surgery and during a 12-month recovery period (55 MRI scans in total after exclusions). We initially found, and then replicated in an independent dataset, that the spatial correlation pattern between regional and global BOLD signals (also known as global signal topography) was associated with tumour occurrence. We then estimated the coupling between the BOLD signal from within the tumour and the signal extracted from different brain tissues. We observed that the normative global signal topography is reorganised in glioma patients during the recovery period. Moreover, we found that the BOLD signal within the tumour and lesioned brain was coupled with the global signal and that this coupling was associated with cognitive recovery. Nevertheless, patients did not show any apparent disruption of functional connectivity within canonical functional networks. Understanding how tumour infiltration and coupling are related to patients’ recovery represents a major step forward in prognostic development.

description: This paper explores the possibilities of designing AR interfaces to be used during laparoscopy surgery. It suggests that the laparoscopic video be displayed on AR headsets and that surgeons can consult preoperative image data on that display. Interaction with these elements is necessary, and no patterns exist to design them. Thus the paper proposes a head-gaze and clicker approach that is effective and minimalist. Finally, a prototype is presented, and an evaluation protocol is briefly discussed.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2010
Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)

description: We consider a continuous-time vertex reinforced jump process on a supercritical Galton-Watson tree. This process takes values in the set of vertices of the tree and jumps to a neighboring vertex with rate proportional to the local time at that vertex plus a constant $c$. The walk is either transient or recurrent depending on this parameter $c$. In this paper, we complete results previously obtained by Davis and Volkov [Probab. Theory Related Fields 123 (2002) 281-300, Probab. Theory Related Fields 128 (2004) 42-62] and Collevecchio [Ann. Probab. 34 (2006) 870-878, Electron. J. Probab. 14 (2009) 1936-1962] by proving that there is a unique (explicit) positive $c_{\mathrm{crit}}$ such that the walk is recurrent for $c\leq c_{\mathrm{crit}}$ and transient for $c>c_{\mathrm{crit}}$.

description: The fourth instalment of the biannual Afrikaans Grammar Workshop (AGW) was hosted by the North-West University, South Africa. This follows on highly successful previous editions in Johannesburg (2016), Ghent (2018), and Amsterdam (2021). Like the previous workshop, this one was a hybrid event: online, and at the 26 Degrees South Hotel in Muldersdrift, Gauteng, South Africa.The workshop aimed to bring together researchers from different theoretical and methodological perspectives who study Afrikaans grammar. We welcomed contributions on various aspects of Afrikaans grammar, including lexicology, orthography, phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, and pragmatics. Papers that compare Afrikaans grammar with other West-Germanic or unrelated languages’ grammar were also welcomed, as are papers on the diachronic development of Afrikaans grammar, the role of language contact on the grammar, and current grammatical variation. For the first time in the workshop series, authors were also given the opportunity to submit full papers for publication in the digital conference proceedings, in addition to the traditional "abstract only" presentations. Eight contributions from the workshop presenters are included in this volume as full papers. These submissions underwent a rigorous double-blind peerreview process by expert reviewers, enhancing the scholarly value of this addition to the AGW.

description: We present a simple two-state model to understand the size-dependent endocytosis of nanoparticles. Using this model, we elucidate the relevant energy terms required to understand the size-dependent uptake mechanism and verify it by correctly predicting the behavior at large and small particle sizes. In the absence of interactions between the nanoparticles we observe an asymmetric distribution of sizes with maximum uptake at intermediate sizes and a minimum size cut-off below which there can be no endocytosis. Including the effect of interactions in our model has remarkable effects on the uptake characteristics. Attractive interactions shift the minimum size cut-off and increase the optimal uptake while repulsive interactions make the distribution more symmetric lowering the optimal uptake.

description: There is a strong demand for virtual reality (VR) to bring quality healthcare to underserved populations. This paper addresses this need with the design and prototype of SURVIVRS: Surround Video-Based Virtual Reality for Surgery Guidance. SURVIVRS allows a remote specialist to guide a local surgery team through a virtual reality (VR) telepresence interface. SURVIVRS is motivated by a need for medical expertise in remote and hard-to-reach areas, such as low-to-middle-income countries (LMICs). The remote surgeon interface allows the live observation of a procedure and combines 3D user interface annotation and communication tools on streams of the surgical site and the patient vitals monitor. SURVIVRS also supports debriefing and educational experiences by offering the ability for users to watch recorded surgeries from the point of view of the remote expert. The main contributions of this work are: the feasibility demonstration of the SURVIVRS system through a rigorous 3D user interface design process; the implementation of a prototype application that realizes the proposed design; and a usability evaluation of SURVIVRS showing that the tool was highly favored by users from the general population. The paper discusses the next steps in this line of research aimed at more equitable and diverse access to healthcare.

Immersi nel verde a due passi dalla città

Subjects: multigenerazionale

description: “Immersi nel verde a due passi dalla città” è il motto di questo progetto che sintetizza per funzione e pertinenza il futuro edificio residenziale nel Quartiere Cornaredo. Un progetto che ha preso spunto da un lavoro dell’architetto Kern und Repper. Andando nello specifico, il complesso possiede un forte valore sociale anche grazie al collegamento di tutti gli edifici presenti nel compartimento che rendono il percorso un elemento aggregante del progetto. La parte esterna del complesso è conforme alla Norma SIA 500. Il piano terra ha una forte relazione con gli edifici circostanti, finalizzato per la comunità. Lo stabile in considerazione è disposto in parallelo agli altri edifici creando un unico percorso che conduce agli accessi regalando degli spazi verdi. Il progetto verte nella ricerca di utilizzare un sistema misto tra struttura portante in calcestruzzo e pareti leggere, questo per ottimizzare i tempi di esecuzione, di consegna e di costi. Ciò è anche dovuto ad una parte dello stabile eseguita con un sistema a secco della Knauf, il sistema Cocoon Transformer che garantisce una maggiore inerzia termica e riduce lo spessore della parete cedendo più superficie abitata e tenendo in considerazione il confort dell’inquilino. I costi e i tempi sono influenzati dall’uso di nuove tecnologie e dalle pareti a secco che consentono di realizzare contemporaneamente la facciata e l’impianto elettrico e sanitario. Un’altra scelta efficace è stata trattare il rivestimento esterno dell’edificio con il sistema della Swisspearl Eternit permettendo maggior durabilità della facciata e minor manutenzione. Parlando sempre di costi, lo stabile è caratterizzato da un ballatoio in resina sintetica che diminuisce il pacchetto di finitura ai minimi essenziali. La struttura portante del ballatoio è pensata nello stesso modo di quella dell’edificio con pilastri e solette e in essa sono presenti due nuclei controventanti che si trovano all’estremo dello stabile e che contengono i depositi, corpi lift e scale. La struttura è concepita in maniera da avere dei pilastri ridotti di dimensione e avere quindi un ingombro minimo per evitare di dover allargare il pacchetto della facciata. Gli appartamenti dello stabile variano da 1.5 a 4.5 locali (come richiesto dal committente), in modo da avere un target di differenti età e budget.
