description: We use X-Ray Photon Correlation Spectroscopy to investigate the structural relaxation process in a metallic glass on the atomic length scale. We report evidence for a dynamical crossover between the supercooled liquid phase and the metastable glassy state, suggesting different origins of the relaxation process across the transition. Furthermore, using different cooling rates we observe a complex hierarchy of dynamic processes characterized by distinct aging regimes. Strong analogies with the aging dynamics of soft glassy materials, such as gels and concentrated colloidal suspensions, point at stress relaxation as a universal mechanism driving the relaxation dynamics of out-of-equilibrium systems.

description: Fusion of remote sensing images and LiDAR data provides complimentary information for the remote sensing applications, such as object classification and recognition. In this paper, we propose a novel multi-source multi-scale hierarchical conditional random field (MSMSH-CRF) model to integrate features extracted from remote sensing images and LiDAR point cloud data for image classification. MSMSH-CRF model is then constructed to exploit the features, category compatibility of multi-scale images and the category consistency of multi-source data based on the regions. The output of the model represents the optimal results of the image classification. We have evaluated the precision and robustness of the proposed method on airborne data, which shows that the proposed method outperforms standard CRF method.

description: We present an interactive system to manipulate a virtual object by tracking multiple hands in 3D space using a Kinect device. The system segments hand shapes from a captured 3D scene by using depth information and active contours. A hand shape is recognized by a trained naive Bayes classifier, whether it belongs to a palm, a pointing hand form or both hands with simple occlusion. A plane is approximated by using RANSAC for a palm hand form, while a vector from the hand centroid to the fingertip is obtained for a pointing hand form by using ICP as tracking method. A shape of simple occluded two hands is split into a palm and an incomplete pointing hand form, whose missing data is estimated by using PCA. The system works in semi-real time.

description: The ALICE collaboration at the CERN Large Hadron Collider reports the first measurement of the inclusive differential jet cross section at mid-rapidity in pp collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 2.76$ TeV, with integrated luminosity of 13.6 nb$^{-1}$. Jets are measured over the transverse momentum range 20 to 125 GeV/c and are corrected to the particle level. Calculations based on Next-to-Leading Order perturbative QCD are in good agreement with the measurements. The ratio of inclusive jet cross sections for jet radii $R = 0.2$ and $R = 0.4$ is reported, and is also well reproduced by a Next-to-Leading Order perturbative QCD calculation when hadronization effects are included.

Timeliness of Electronic and Traditional Laboratory Reporting in Southern Nevada, 1999-2012
Creators: name: Lucas, Jennifer Anne
Publisher: name: University of Nevada, Las Vegas
Year: 2012

description: This study compares the timeliness of Electronic Laboratory Reporting (ELR) with traditional reporting. ELR has been implemented in parts of the United States, and is perceived to be faster than traditional reporting. Faster reporting leads to faster public health response to prevent outbreaks, and to reduce the burden of infectious disease in communities. Nevada State law requires that diseases be reported within certain time frames. Timeliness of laboratory reporting at the Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) from 1999-2012 was assessed by analyzing cases of four common diseases in this retrospective secondary analysis of extant data.
The difference in timeliness regarding public health response (for public health investigation response time) and the difference in timeliness for legal state reporting requirements between ELR and traditional reporting were evaluated using independent samples t-tests. A two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was conducted to determine whether each disease had interactions with report type or influence on timeliness.
The data contained 1,082 traditional reports and 1,343 ELR results. The diseases in this study were campylobacteriosis, giardiasis, salmonellosis, and shigellosis. Both t-tests, for public health response timeliness, and legal compliance timeliness were statistically different. However, it was determined that public health response time difference was not significant in later tests with a smaller confidence interval.
There was no significant interaction between disease type and report type regarding public health response time. The result was significant regarding legal compliance time. This study showed that with both ELR and traditional reporting, it is impossible to prevent secondary infections when basing public health response on laboratory confirmation. The legal requirements time was inconclusive because the data were provide in days, rather than minutes. In addition, the ANOVA for ELR and legal time suggested batched results when using ELR. This study showed that response timeliness is too long in Southern Nevada, with ELR and traditional reporting. More studies of timeliness should be conducted in Southern Nevada

description: In recent years, Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data have been widely used for scientific applications and several SAR missions were realized. The active sensor principle and the signal wavelength in the order of centimeters provide all-day and all-weather capabilities, respectively. The modern German TerraSAR-X (TSX) satellite provides high spatial resolution down to one meter. Based on such data SAR Interferometry may yield high quality digital surface models (DSMs), which includes points located on 3d objects such as vegetation, forest, and elevated man-made structures. By removing these points, digital elevation model (DEM) representing the bare ground of Earth is obtained. The primary objective of this paper is the validation of DEMs obtained from TSX SAR data covering Barcelona area, Spain, in the framework of a scientific project conducted by ISPRS Working Group VII/2 "SAR Interferometry" that aims the evaluation of DEM derived from data of modern SAR satellite sensors. Towards this purpose, a DSM was generated with 10 m grid spacing using TSX StripMap mode SAR data and converted to a DEM by filtering. The accuracy results have been presented referring the comparison with a more accurate (10 cm–1 m) digital terrain model (DTM) derived from large scale photogrammetry. The results showed that the TSX DEM is quite coherent with the topography and the accuracy is in between ±8–10 m. As another application, the persistent scatterer interferometry (PSI) was conducted using TSX data and the outcomes were compared with a 3d city model available in Google Earth, which is known to be very precise because it is based on LIDAR data. The results showed that PSI outcomes are quite coherent with reference data and the RMSZ of differences is around 2.5 m.
The Acute Effect of Two Hip External Rotator Stretches on Range of Motion

Year: 2013

description: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the acute effect of two commonly used static stretches on hip internal rotation passive range of motion (HIR-PROM). Participants (n=30, 15 male, 15 female; 22±1.8 yrs.; 173.5±8.5cm; 73.8±12.7 kg) were randomly assigned (with gender controlled) to one of three groups: control (C), figure 4 stretch (F4), and modified lunge stretch (ML). Pre and post-test HIR-PROM was measured on each participant's non-dominant hip (28 left, 2 right). HIR-PROM was measured from the prone position; the knee was flexed to 90° and the hip was passively internally rotated. After the pretest, each participant completed a 10 minute warm-up on a cycle ergometer. Upon completion of the warm-up the two stretching groups (F4, ML) completed the respective stretching protocol while the control group rested on a table. A mixed model factorial ANOVA was used to analyze main effects (group, time) and if a significant interaction occurred. There was no interaction or group main effect (p>0.05), however, there was a time main effect regardless of group assignment (F1,27=33.151, p

description: We consider the inverse problem of determining the time independent scalar potential of the dynamic Schrödinger equation in an infinite cylindrical domain, from one Neumann boundary observation of the solution. Assuming that this potential is known outside some fixed compact subset of the waveguide, we prove that it may be Lipschitz stably retrieved by choosing the Dirichlet boundary condition of the system suitably. Since the proof is by means of a global Carleman estimate designed specifically for the Schrödinger operator acting in an unbounded cylindrical domain, the Neumann data is measured on an infinitely extended subboundary of the cylinder.
title: Aggregation Behavior in the Bed Bug, Cimex lectularius L.
Creators: name: Baker, Paul
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2020

description: The bed bug, Cimex lectularius L., is a common household pest that feeds on the blood of its human hosts. Unlike many other hematophagic arthropods, bed bugs have not demonstrated the ability to vector disease; yet its presence in a household often leads to fear and anxiety amongst its human host victims. Bed bugs spend the majority of their time aggregating in enclosed and hidden locations, making it difficult to detect and eradicate them. One of the significant mediators of aggregation behavior is an aggregation pheromone. The pheromone has been identified to be six chemical compounds, five volatile compounds that attract conspecific bed bugs to an aggregation, and a sixth compound, histamine, that arrests them at the aggregation location. Subtle variations in the semiochemical signature between different life stages of the bed bug may influence the make-up and structure of individual aggregations. There also appears to be differences in aggregation behavior between different populations of bed bugs. My research focuses on determining how aggregation behavior varies between different life stages of the bed bug, and between different populations of bed bugs. I developed a method to quantify aggregation and found distinct differences in aggregation between populations of bed bugs, but not between sexes. I then measured the production of histamine between life stages and determined that histamine is produced by all life stages, starting at low levels with first instars, and gradually increasing to adults, with females producing more histamine than males. Finally, I conducted a series of choice tests to compare the semiochemical signal produced by males, females or fifth instars in their feces and compared their responses to aggregation cues from each other. All life stages tested responded to the fecal extracts over controls, except males who did not significantly choose female extracts over a control. When given a choice between fecal extracts between two different life stages, all groups responded equally to the extracts, with the exception that females preferred female fecal extracts over fifth instar extracts. Overall, these studies demonstrate differences in aggregation behavior between populations of bed bugs, but little support for differences between life stages within a population.

description: Estimation of parameters is a pivotal task throughout science and technology. Quantum Cramér-Rao bound provides a fundamental limit of precision allowed to achieve under quantum theory. For closed quantum systems, it has been shown how the estimation precision depends on the underlying dynamics. Here, we propose a general formulation for metrology scenarios in open quantum systems, aiming to relate the precision more directly to properties of the underlying dynamics. This feature may be employed to enhance an estimation precision, e.g., by quantum control techniques. Specifically, we derive a Cramér-Rao bound for a fairly large class of open system dynamics, which is governed by a (time-dependent) dynamical semi-group map. We illustrate the utility of this scenario through three examples.

description: Land cover describes the physical material of the earth's surface, whereas land use describes the socio-economic function of a piece of land. Land use information is typically collected in geospatial databases. As such databases become outdated quickly, an automatic update process is required. This paper presents a new approach to determine land cover and to classify land use objects based on convolutional neural networks (CNN). The input data are aerial images and derived data such as digital surface models. Firstly, we apply a CNN to determine the land cover for each pixel of the input image. We compare different CNN structures, all of them based on an encoder-decoder structure for obtaining dense class predictions. Secondly, we propose a new CNN-based methodology for the prediction of the land use label of objects from a geospatial database. In this context, we present a strategy for generating image patches of identical size from the input data, which are classified by a CNN. Again, we compare different CNN architectures. Our experiments show that an overall accuracy of up to 85.7 % and 77.4 % can be achieved for land cover and land use, respectively. The classification of land cover has a positive contribution to the classification of the land use classification. © Authors 2018.

description: The frequency and intensity of cyanobacterial blooms are increasing worldwide with major societal and economic costs. Interactions between toxic cyanobacteria and eukaryotic algal competitors can affect toxic bloom formation, but the exact mechanisms of interspecies interactions remain unknown. Using metabolomic and proteomic profiling of co-cultures of the toxic cyanobacterium Microcystis aeruginosa with a green alga as well as of microorganisms collected in a Microcystis spp. bloom in Lake Taihu (China), we disentangle novel interspecies allelopathic interactions. We describe an interspecies molecular network in which M. aeruginosa inhibits growth of Chlorella vulgaris, a model green algal competitor, via the release of linoleic acid. In addition, we demonstrate how M. aeruginosa takes advantage of the cell signaling compound nitric oxide produced by C. vulgaris, which stimulates a positive feedback mechanism of linoleic acid release by M. aeruginosa and its toxicity. Our high-throughput system-biology approach highlights the importance of previously unrecognized allelopathic interactions between a broadly distributed toxic cyanobacterial bloom former and one of its algal competitors.

description: In high-energy heavy-ion collisions, the correlations between the emitted particles can be used as a probe to gain insight into the charge creation mechanisms. In this Letter, we report the first results of such studies using the electric charge balance function in the relative pseudorapidity ($Δη$) and azimuthal angle ($Δφ$) in Pb--Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=2.76$ TeV with the ALICE detector at the Large Hadron Collider. The width of the balance function decreases with growing centrality (i.e. for more central collisions) in both projections. This centrality dependence is not reproduced by HIJING, while AMPT, a model which incorporates strings and parton rescattering, exhibits qualitative agreement with the measured correlations in $Δφ$ but fails to describe the correlations in $Δη$. A thermal blast-wave model incorporating local charge conservation and tuned to describe the $p_{\rm T}$ spectra and v$_2$ measurements reported by ALICE, is used to fit the centrality dependence of the width of the balance function and to extract the average separation of balancing charges at freeze-out. The comparison of our results with measurements at lower energies reveals an ordering with $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$: the balance functions become narrower with increasing energy for all centralities. This is consistent with the effect of larger radial flow at the LHC energies but also with the late stage creation scenario of balancing charges. However, the relative decrease of the balance function widths in $Δη$ and $Δφ$ with centrality from the highest SPS to the LHC energy exhibits only small differences. This observation cannot be interpreted solely within the framework where the majority of the charge is produced at a later stage in the evolution of the heavy--ion collision.

description: Interferometric wide-swath mode of Sentinel-1, which is implemented by Terrain Observation by Progressive Scan (TOPS) technique, is the main mode of SAR data acquisition in this mission. It aims at global monitoring of large areas with enhanced revisit frequency of 6 days at the expense of reduced azimuth resolution, compared to classical ScanSAR mode. TOPS technique is equipped by steering the beam from backward to forward along the heading direction for each burst, in addition to the steering along the range direction, which is the only sweeping direction in standard ScanSAR mode. This leads to difficulty in measuring along-track displacement by applying the conventional method of multi-aperture interferometry (MAI), which exploits a double difference interferometry to estimate azimuth offset. There is a possibility to solve this issue by a technique called "Burst Overlap Interferometry" which focuses on the region of burst overlap. Taking advantage of large squint angle diversity of ∼1° in burst overlapped area leads to improve the accuracy of ground motion measurement especially in along-track direction. We investigate the advantage of SAR Interferometry (InSAR), burst overlap interferometry and offset tracking to investigate coseismic deformation and coseismic-induced landslide related to 12 November 2017 Mw 7.3 Sarpol-e Zahab earthquake in Iran. © Authors 2018.

Depression and Psychosis- Perspectives on the Body, Enactivism, and Psychotherapy
Creators: name: Spremberg, Adrian
Publisher: name: InterCultural Philosophy
Year: 2018

description: This article will discuss how the ‘enactive’ approach to cognition and psychological processes can help further clarifying and developing a more heuristic framework for the understanding of severe mental disorders, in this case, depression and schizophrenia. Furthermore, enactivismwill serve as a framework that comprehends depressions and schizophrenia as disorders that encompass three dimensions of human life: subjectivity (experiential domain), the body and the organismic domain, as well as the world (sociality, etc.). All three are intrinsically interwoven and consider processes, which are mental and/or cognitive to be in constant interconnection, since it is by means of this complex and auto-regulatory system that the direct meaningful connection with the world is made.  I argue, however, that while all three components must be considered in severe disorders such as depression or schizophrenia, it remains paramount to maintain that there seem to be several differences in the way the schizophrenic or depressive person ‘enactively’ engages with the world and others, or not. For instance, while subjects with schizophrenia usually have a fragmented feeling of ‘self’, person with depression often have significant difficulties relating to others, and the world. This also depends on the severity in which the other processes have been affected, or not.

description: For many years it has been recognized that the terminal stages of mass transfer in a low-mass X-ray binary (LMXB) should cause the magnetosphere of the accreting neutron star to expand, leading to a braking torque acting on the spinning pulsar. After the discovery of radio millisecond pulsars (MSPs) it was therefore somewhat a paradox (e.g. Ruderman et al. 1989) how these pulsars could retain their fast spins following the Roche-lobe decoupling phase, RLDP. Here I present a solution to this so-called "turn-off problem" which was recently found by combining binary stellar evolution models with torque computations (Tauris 2012). The solution is that during the RLDP the spin equilibrium of the pulsar is broken and therefore it remains a fast spinning object. I briefly discuss these findings in view of the two observed spin distributions in the populations of accreting X-ray millisecond pulsars (AXMSPs) and radio MSPs.

description: Methods to map artificial night sky brightness and stellar visibility across large territories or their distribution over the entire sky at any site are based on the computation of the propagation of light pollution with Garstang models, a simplified solution of the radiative transfer problem in the atmosphere which allows a fast computation by reducing it to a ray-tracing approach. We present here up-to-date Extended Garstang Models (EGM) which provide a more general numerical solution for the radiative transfer problem applied to the propagation of light pollution in the atmosphere. We also present the LPTRAN software package, an application of EGM to high-resolution DMSP-OLS satellite measurements of artificial light emissions and to GTOPO30 digital elevation data, which provides an up-to-date method to predict the artificial brightness distribution of the night sky at any site in the World at any visible wavelength for a broad range of atmospheric situations and the artificial radiation density in the atmosphere across the territory. EGM account for (i) multiple scattering, (ii) wavelength from 250 nm to infrared, (iii) Earth curvature and its screening effects, (iv) sites and sources elevation, (v) many kinds of atmosphere with the possibility of custom setup (e.g. including thermal inversion layers), (vi) mix of different boundary layer aerosols and tropospheric aerosols, with the possibility of custom setup, (vii) up to 5 aerosol layers in upper atmosphere including fresh and aged volcanic dust and meteoric dust, (viii) variations of the scattering phase function with elevation, (ix) continuum and line gas absorption from many species, ozone included, (x) up to 5 cloud layers, (xi) wavelength dependant bidirectional reflectance of the ground surface from NASA/MODIS satellites, main models or custom data (snow included), (xii) geographically variable upward light emission function.

title: Persuasive commentary: using the elaboration likelihood model to predict attitudinal change online
Creators: name: Chavez, Matthew A.
Publisher: name: Western Washington University
Year: 2013

description:
The current study examined the persuasiveness (based on the Elaboration Likelihood Model) of user comments on the evaluation of an Internet news article. Participants reviewed a news article concerning the implementation of a new comprehensive exam for all senior-level undergraduates, which was manipulated such that the news article information was either self-relevant (evoking central route processing) or self-irrelevant (evoking peripheral route processing). In addition, comments that followed the news article were also manipulated by both strength and quantity. Attitudes toward the topic of comprehensive exams for seniors were assessed via an attitudinal scale and thought listing task after viewing both the news article and subsequent commentary. Because individuals who process information centrally are more likely to parse information for logical development, it was predicted that individuals who centrally process information would be more likely to be influenced by the strength of comments than comment quantity. Alternatively, because individuals who process information peripherally pay attention to peripheral cues in lieu of logical development, it was predicted that these individuals would be more likely to be influenced by comment quantity than comment strength. Results suggested a possible conformity effect in both attitude and thought responses, such that comment presence alone evoked more positive attitudes and positive thoughts toward the proposed exam when compared to a no-comment control group. Additionally, contrary to the ELM, results suggested self-relevance was only a marginally significant factor when comparing attitudinal and thought response differences based on comment strength and a non-significant factor based on comment quantity. Finally, implications of utilizing consensus information (i.e., all pro-issue user comments) as well as caveats regarding the application of the ELM to online contexts are discussed.

description: Previous work in the research field of video surveillance intensively focused on separated aspects of object detection, data association, pattern recognition and system design. In contrast, we propose a holistic approach for object tracking in a self-organizing and distributed smart camera network. Each observation task is represented by a software-agent which improves the tracking performance by collaborative behavior. An object tracking agent detects persons in a video stream and associates them with a trajectory. The pattern recognition agent analyses these trajectories by detecting points of interest within the observation field. These are characterized by a non-deterministic behavior of the moving person. The trajectory points (enriched by the results of the pattern recognition agent) will be used by a configuration agent to align the cameras field of view. We show that this collaboration improves the performance of the observation system by increasing the amount of detected trajectory points by 22%.
Monte Carlo Study on Distortion of the Space-Dimension in COBE Monopole Data

description: A concise explanation of studies on distortion of space-time dimension is briefly introduced. Second we obtain the limits (i.e., bounded values) of the dimensionless chemical potential $μ$, the Sunyaev--Zeldovich (SZ) effect y and distortion of the space-dimension $\varepsilon$ by Monte Carlo (MC) analysis of the parameter set (T, $d=3+\varepsilon$, $μ$, and $y$) in cosmic microwave data assuming that the SZ effect is positive (y>0). In this analysis, the magnitude of the space-dimension d with distortion of the space-dimension $\varepsilon$ is defined by $d=3+\varepsilon$. The limits of $μ$ and $y$ are determined as $|μ| < 9\times 10^{-5} (2σ$) ($μ= (-3.9\pm 2.6)\times 10^{-5} (σ$)), $|y| < 5\times 10^{-6} (2σ$) ($y = (2.0\pm 1.4)\times 10^{-6} (σ$)), while the distortion of the space-dimension is $|\varepsilon| < 6\times 10^{-5} (2σ$) ($\varepsilon = (-0.78\pm 2.50)\times 10^{-5} (σ$)). The magnitudes of these three estimated limits are ordered as $|μ| \ge |\varepsilon| > |y|$. The estimated limit of $|y| < 5\times 10^{-6}$ appears to be related to re-ionization processes occurring at redshift $z_{ri}\sim 10$. We also present data analysis assuming a relativistic SZ effect.

description: In order to tackle the problem of consistently integrating 2D vector data and a DTM, we presented an approach for the adaptation of 2D GIS road objects to airborne laser scanning (ALS) data using active contours (snakes) in (Gopfert et al., 2011). In this paper the algorithm is modified for the integration of stereo images as an alternative data source for area-wide height information. For that reason, a new image energy is developed that exploits geometric and radiometric features derived from the image data. Afterwards, we compare the applicability of our method with respect to the ALS data and stereo images as input. In addition, a new approach is suggested that analyses the different energy terms of active contours after the optimisation process in order to automatically detect contour parts that did not reach a suitable position in the sensor data. This concept of an internal evaluation is able to guide the user during post processing. Experiments show that the snake approach with an image energy based on stereo images is generally able to adapt GIS road centrelines to the sensor data and thus to improve the quality of the 2D vector data. However, the comparison to the results for ALS data demonstrates that the algorithm perform slightly worse for image data in the high precision level.
Assessing Different Zeolitic Adsorbents for their Potential Use in Kr and Xe Separation

description: Separation of Kr from Xe is an important problem in spent nuclear fuel fission gas management. The energy intensive and expensive cryogenic distillation method is currently used to separate these gases. In this thesis, we have carried out the research into appropriate sorbents for the separation of Kr and Xe using pressure swing adsorption. We have examined zeolites using gas adsorption studies as they have the potential to be more cost effective than other sorbents. Zeolites are microporous aluminosilicates and have ordered pore structures. The pores in zeolites have extra-framework cations are substantially free to move. The mobility of cations and the uniformity in pore size permits the separation and removal of gases in zeolites. In our experiment, first, we have measured adsorption isotherms with same zeolitic framework but with different cations. Second, we have measured the adsorption isotherm with different zeolitic frameworks but with same cation. Using these adsorption isotherms, we have calculated the initial heats of adsorption to find out the strength of interaction between the zeolitic framework and the gases. Finally, we have compared the difference in the initial heats of adsorption to find the suitable zeolite that has the highest selectivity of Xe over Kr. In conclusion, we have found out that K LSX seems to have higher potential among the zeolites that we have compared for the separation of Kr from Xe with the differential heats of adsorption for Xe vs Kr as ~ 7.4 kJ/mol.
