Designing Resource-Bounded Reasoners using Bayesian Networks: System Health Monitoring and Diagnosis

description: In this work we are concerned with the conceptual design of large-scale diagnostic and health management systems that use Bayesian networks. While they are potentially powerful, improperly designed Bayesian networks can result in too high memory requirements or too long inference times, to they point where they may not be acceptable for real-time diagnosis and health management in resource-bounded systems such as NASA’s aerospace vehicles. We investigate the clique tree clustering approach to Bayesian network inference, where increasing the size and connectivity of a Bayesian network typically also increases clique tree size. This paper combines techniques for analytically characterizing clique tree growth with bounds on clique tree size imposed by resource constraints, thereby aiding the design and optimization of largescale Bayesian networks in resource-bounded systems. We provide both theoretical and experimental results, and illustrate our approach using a NASA case study.

description: A dynamical formulation of the dimer method for the determination of transition states is presented. The method is suited for ab-initio molecular dynamics using the fictitious Lagrangian formulation. The method has been applied to the con-rotatory ring opening of chloro-cyclo-butadiene, an example, where the application of the drag method is problematic.

description: Urban agriculture (UA) is a widely proposed strategy to make cities and urban food systems more sustainable. Until now, we have lacked a comprehensive assessment of the environmental performance of UA relative to conventional agriculture, and results from earlier studies have been mixed. This is the first large-scale study to resolve this uncertainty across cities and types of UA, employing citizen science at 73 UA sites in Europe and the United States to compare UA products to food from conventional farms. Results reveal that the carbon footprint of food from UA is six times greater than conventional agriculture (420 gCO2e versus 70 gCO2e per serving). However, some UA crops (for example, tomatoes) and sites (for example, 25% of individually managed gardens) outperform conventional agriculture. These exceptions suggest that UA practitioners can reduce their climate impacts by cultivating crops that are typically greenhouse-grown or air-freighted, maintaining UA sites for many years, and leveraging circularity (waste as inputs).

description: The quantum ${\mathbb C}P^{N-1}$ model is in the confining (or unbroken) phase with a full mass gap in an infinite space, while it is in the Higgs (broken or deconfinement) phase accompanied with Nambu-Goldstone modes in a finite space such as a ring or finite interval smaller than a certain critical size. We find a new self-consistent exact solution describing a soliton in the Higgs phase of the ${\mathbb C}P^{N-1}$ model in the large-$N$ limit on a ring. We call it a confining soliton. We show that all eigenmodes have real and positive energy and thus it is stable.

description: Excerpts from the report: This study is part of a broad program designed to help increase sales and broaden the markets for farm products. The report presents a market analysis of potentials for completely launderable all-wool apparel. This new wool characteristic can be imparted by applying the Department's WURLAN process. This process may also impart other attributes that will improve sales of all-wool apparel. These are cited in the appendix, but have not been considered in this market analysis. Information contained in this report provides guides to the textile industry for adding complete launderability to all-wool apparel and does not analyze all aspects of the WURLAN process.

description: We investigate the optical properties of microcavities with suspended subwavelength structured mirrors, such as high-contrast gratings or two-dimensional photonic crystals slabs, and focus in particular on the regime in which the microcavity free-spectral range is larger than the width of a Fano resonance of the highly reflecting structured mirror. In this unusual regime, the transmission spectrum of the microcavity essentially consists in a single mode, whose linewidth can be significantly narrower than both the Fano resonance linewidth and the linewidth of an equally short cavity without structured mirror. This generic interference effect---occuring in any Fabry-Perot resonator with a strongly wavelength-dependent mirror---can be exploited for realizing small modevolume and high quality factor microcavities and, if high mechanical quality suspended structured thin films are used, for optomechanics and optical sensing applications.

description: Technology for building smart homes is here today; however, a solid understanding of how people will interact in these spaces is not. In this paper, we present our research into designing a smart living space that focuses on inherent social behavior and in turn facilitates social interactions. We start by explaining our initial design scenario, and then discuss the process whereby we obtained data about user needs in a smart living space. We then offer six principles for building an environment that assists in home activities and explain how these principles could be applied to similar projects. We walk through selected parts of our design and then offer recommendations and future directions for smart living space research.

description: We believe that a biology-relevant calculus experience (biocalculus) can help overcome many of these issues in calculus. While challenging to build the capacity for teaching courses, students in biocalculus articulate more detailed connections to the theory of their disciplines and find it more relevant. Biocalculus leverages students' passion and knowledge about biology, and students who enroll in biocalculus courses have greater learning gains than students in traditional calculus courses and lower fail and drop rates. Finally, as biocalculus moves to be more relevant in an age of big data and computing, we explore the epistemological consequences of this shift in the last decade.

description: We propose a universal geometric formulation of gauged supergravity in terms of a twisted doubled torus. We focus on string theory (M-theory) reductions with generalized Scherk-Schwarz twists residing in the O(n,n) (E_{7(7)}) duality group. The set of doubled geometric fluxes, associated with the duality twists and identified naturally with the embedding tensor of gauged supergravity, captures all known fluxes, i.e. physical form fluxes, ordinary geometric fluxes, as well as their non-geometric counterparts. Furthermore, we propose a prescription for obtaining the effective geometry embedded in the string theory twisted doubled torus or in the M-theory megatorus and apply it for several models of geometric and non-geometric flux compactifications.

Radial Distributions of Power and Isotopic Concentrations in Candidate Accident Tolerant Fuel U3Si2 and UO2/U3Si2 Fuel Pins with FeCrAl Cladding

description: Monte Carlo simulations show similarity on radial distributions of power and isotopic concentrations at any effective full power depletion time among five kinds of fuel-cladding combinations with the same cycle length, including the normal UO2-zircaloy combination, the candidate Accident Tolerant Fuel (ATF) UO2/U3Si2-FeCrAl combination, and three kinds of candidate ATF U3Si2-FeCrAl combinations. An analytical formula f(x,s) including the fuel exposure (s) and the relative radial (x) is proposed to describe the radial properties for all five kinds of fuel-cladding combinations. f(x,s) has the form of the second order polynomial term of s with the exponential type of coefficients depending on x. It is shown that the suggested function f(x,s) gives a nice description on the simulation data with rather small deviations and can immediately provide radial distribution of power, burnup, and isotopic concentrations of 235U, 238U, 239Pu, and 241Pu at any fuel exposure and relative radius. It is useful to discuss the fuel temperature through the present analytical formula. The realistic radial power distribution gives flatter radial temperature distribution compared with the uniform power distribution. Because of the different thermal conductivities of fuels and claddings and the different thicknesses of claddings, the present discussed five kinds of fuel-cladding combinations have different radial temperature distributions, although their radial power distributions are quite similar. The present work provides an analytical formula to describe the radial properties of the ATF which is expected to be helpful for further neutronic and multi-physics coupling studies.

description: Excerpts from the report: The purpose of this study is to determine and evaluate the more important factors relating to wool scouring and baling in the producing areas, particularly the West, and to appraise the possibilities of reducing transportation and other marketing costs. To accomplish this necessitates (a) determining the major wool production areas and the quality and quantity of wool produced, (b) considering present and probable future locations of woolen and worsted manufacturers, (c) developing cost information on baling and scouring operations, (d) considering the response of the woolen and worsted industry to wool scoured and/or baled in producing areas, (e) developing methodology to estimate potential transportation benefits, and (f) evaluating the net effect of these factors. The scope of this report is purposely broad. It is hoped that the methodology, guidelines, and suggestions developed will assist wool growers and their cooperatives and other marketing agencies, transportation agencies, local chambers of commerce, development groups, and others in evaluating the possibility of wool baling or the establishment of wool scouring facilities in their area.

description: In this paper, we study the nonequilibrium dynamics of the Bose-Hubbard model with the nearest-neighbor repulsion by using time-dependent Gutzwiller (GW) methods. In particular, we vary the hopping parameters in the Hamiltonian as a function of time, and investigate the dynamics of the system from the density wave (DW) to the superfluid (SF) crossing a first-order phase transition and vice-versa. From the DW to SF, we find scaling laws for the correlation length and vortex density with respect to the quench time. This is a reminiscence of the Kibble-Zurek scaling for continuous phase transitions and contradicts the common expectation. We give a possible explanation for this observation. On the other hand from the SF to DW, the system evolution depends on the initial SF state. When the initial state is the ground-state obtained by the static GW methods, a coexisting state of the SF and DW domains forms after passing through the critical point. Coherence of the SF order parameter is lost as the system evolves. This is a phenomenon similar to the glass transition in classical systems. When the state starts from the SF with small local phase fluctuations, the system obtains a large-size DW-domain structure with thin domain walls.

Antiferro-quadrupole state of orbital-degenerate Kondo lattice model with f^2 configuration

description: To clarify a key role of $f$ orbitals in the emergence of antiferro-quadrupole structure in PrPb$_{3}$, we investigate the ground-state property of an orbital-degenerate Kondo lattice model by numerical diagonalization techniques. In PrPb$_{3}$, Pr$^{3+}$ has a $4f^{2}$ configuration and the crystalline-electric-field ground state is a non-Kramers doublet $Γ_{3}$. In a $j$-$j$ coupling scheme, the $Γ_{3}$ state is described by two local singlets, each of which consists of two $f$ electrons with one in $Γ_{7}$ and another in $Γ_{8}$ orbitals. Since in a cubic structure, $Γ_{7}$ has localized nature, while $Γ_{8}$ orbitals are rather itinerant, we propose the orbital-degenerate Kondo lattice model for an effective Hamiltonian of PrPb$_{3}$. We show that an antiferro-orbital state is favored by the so-called double-exchange mechanism which is characteristic of multi-orbital systems.

Testing relativistic boost as the cause of gamma-ray quasi-periodic oscillation in a blazar

description: The mechanism for producing gamma-ray quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) in blazar is unknown. One possibility is the geometric model, in which without the need for intrinsic quasi-periodic variation, the relativistic Doppler factor changes periodically, resulting in observed gamma-ray QPO. We propose a method to test this geometric model. We analyze the {\it Fermi}-LAT data of PG 1553+113 spanning from 2008 August until 2018 February. According to 29 four-month average spectral energy distributions (SEDs) in the energy range of 0.1-300 GeV, we split the {\it Fermi}-LAT energy range into three bands: 0.1-1 GeV, 1-10 GeV, and 10-300 GeV. The spectrum in each energy range can be successfully fitted by a power-law. The light curves and photon indices in the three energy ranges are obtained. Then, light curves in three narrow energy ranges, i.e., 0.2-0.5 GeV, 2-5 GeV and 20- 40 GeV, are constructed, and the relative variability amplitudes in the three narrow energy ranges are calculated. A discrete-correlation analysis is performed for the light curves. Our results indicate that (i) the light curves in the different energy ranges follow the same pattern showed in the light curve above 0.1 GeV; (ii) the three groups of photon indices in the energy ranges of 0.1-1 GeV, 1-10 GeV, and 10-300 GeV keep nearly constant; (iii) the ratio between relative variability amplitudes in different narrow energy ranges are equal (within their errors) to the prediction by the Doppler effect. Our results support the scenario of the relativistic boost producing the gamma-ray QPO for PG 1553+113.

 We studied the content of benzo (a) pyrene (BP) in the atmospheric emissions of large boiler houses of various profiles and vehicles at the crossroads of the city of Tashkent. BP was determined by the aspiration method followed by extraction with hexane. BP was identified and quantified by the spectral-luminescence method in frozen n-octane solutions on an SDL-2 spectrometer. With an increase in air supply to the boiler furnace, the BP content in emissions decreases. Operating the boiler at maximum load also leads to a decrease of BP in atmospheric emissions. It is shown that the use of overpasses at the crossroads of the city leads to a decrease in the carcinogenic load of atmospheric emissions from cars and trucks operating with the use of internal combustion engines.
 Изучали содержание бенз(а)пирена (БП) в атмосферных выбросах крупных котельных различного профиля и автотранспорта на перекрестках города Ташкента. Определение БП проводили аспирационным методом с последующей экстракцией гексаном. Идентификацию и количественное определение БП проводили спектрально-люминесцентным методом в замороженных n-октановых растворах на спектрометре СДЛ-2. При увеличении подачи воздуха в топку котла, содержание БП в выбросах уменьшается. Эксплуатация котла на максимальной нагрузке также приводит к уменьшению БП в атмосферных выбросах. Показано, что использование путепроводов на перекрестках города приводит к уменьшению канцерогенной нагрузки атмосферных выбросов легкового и грузового транспорта, работающего с применением двигателей внутреннего сгорания.

description: In this study, we measure the effects of two software approaches to improving data and network performance: 1. Content optimization and compression; and 2. Optimizing network protocols. We achieve content optimization and compression by means of BoostEdge by ActivNetworks and employ the SPDY network protocol by Google to lower the round trip time for HTTP transactions. Since the data and transport layers are separate, we conclude our investigation by studying the combined effect of these two techniques on web performance. Using document mean load time as the measure, we found that with and without packet loss, both BoostEdge and SPDY provide a significant improvement in speed over HTTP. When tested in various combinations, we find that the effects are more or less additive and that the maximum improvement is gained by using BoostEdge and SPDY together. Interestingly, the two approaches are also complimentary; i.e., in situations where data predominates (i.e. “heavy” data, and fewer network requests), BoostEdge provides a larger boost via its data optimization capabilities and in cases where the data is relatively small, or “light”, but there are many network transactions required, SPDY provides an increased proportion of the overall boost.

description: Excerpts from the report: The American sheep industry could be on the verge of a major change in its role as a producer of meat and wool. High prices in world grain and petroleum markets are believed to favor the production of lamb relative to pork and beef, and to favor wool relative to synthetic fibers. Yet the sheep industry must also wrestle with a rapid and persistent decline in sheep production that has closed many marketing, processing, and distribution facilities. In view of recent developments and the concerns of many sheep producers, the leadership of several national sheep associations requested that Farmer Cooperative Service develop and analyze alternative marketing-processing-distribution systems for sheep and lambs. The specific objectives of the study are: (1) describe the current economic situation of the industry; (2) describe several alternative marketing-processing-distribution systems; (3) compare advantages and disadvantages of alternative systems; and (4) recommend one or more alternative marketing-processing-distribution systems for U.S. sheep producers.
Alternativer til Per- og Polyfluor alkylstoffer (PFAS) i brannsektoren
Creators: name: Thiruketheeswaran, Maharan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Denne oppgaven utforsker hvordan alternativvurdering til PFAS kan iverksettes. Bekymringen for PFAS har økt betraktelig de siste tiårene som en følge av de skadelige effektene på miljøet og menneskers helse. På bakgrunn av dette vil oppgaven utfordre hvorvidt det er et behov for bekymringskjemikalien. Både brannskum og brannbeskyttelsestekstiler inneholder store mengder av PFAS, noe som fører til at brannmenn eksponeres for farlige kjemikalier i deres hverdag. Dette motiverer en radikal substitusjon av de farlige kjemikaliene. Oppgaven fokuserer hovedsakelig på Aquatic film forming foam (AFFF) og Durable water-repellent (DWR). For AFFF er det flere studier som viser at dette kan substitueres, da det er en rekke fluorfrie alternativer som oppfyller ytelseskravene. Studier viser at fluorfritt - DWR ikke er likekonkurransedyktig, grunnet deres mangel på olje- og flekkavvisende egenskaper. Det er derfor behov for risikovurderinger og ytterligere reguleringer fram til alternativer blir funnet. Alternativvurderingen baseres på kombinasjonen av «Essential-Use» og «Functional Substitution» (Roy et al., 2022). Det er tatt utgangspunkt i databasen til ZeroPM – som står sentral i substitusjonsprosessen.

 

This Bachelors thesis, written in Norwegian, is part of the requiriment for KJ2900 course at NTNU, Trondheim. The theme of the project was centered on  work done in WP2 of ZeroPM, utilizing the ZeroPM Alternatives Assessment Database, and was superviersed bh Hans Peter H. Arp.

description: The electromagnetic form factors of the proton in the time-like region and two-photon annihilations into proton-antiproton are investigated. To calculate these processes at moderately large $s$ we use a variant of the Brodsky-Lepage hard-scattering formalism where diquarks are considered as quasi-elementary constituents of baryons. The proton wave function and the parameters controlling the diquark contributions are determined from fits to space-like data. We also comment on the decay $η_c \to p\bar{p}$.

description: Since their emergence in the 1990's, the support vector machine and the AdaBoost algorithm have spawned a wave of research in statistical machine learning. Much of this new research falls into one of two broad categories: kernel methods and ensemble methods. In this expository article, I discuss the main ideas behind these two types of methods, namely how to transform linear algorithms into nonlinear ones by using kernel functions, and how to make predictions with an ensemble or a collection of models rather than a single model. I also share my personal perspectives on how these ideas have influenced and shaped my own research. In particular, I present two recent algorithms that I have invented with my collaborators: LAGO, a fast kernel algorithm for unbalanced classification and rare target detection; and Darwinian evolution in parallel universes, an ensemble method for variable selection.

description: The ILL experiment, one of the "reactor anomaly" experiments, is re-examined. ILL's baseline of 8.78 m is the shortest of the short baseline experiments, and it is the experiment that finds the largest fraction of the electron anti-neutrinos disappearing -- over 20%. Previous analyses, if they do not ignore the ILL experiment, use functional forms for chisquare which are either totally new and unjustified, are the magnitude chi-square (also termed a "rate analysis"), or utilize a spectral form for chi-square which double counts the systematic error. We do an analysis which utilizes the standard, conventional form for chi-square as well as a derived form for a spectral chi-square. Results for the ILL, Huber, and Daya Bay fluxes are given. We find that the implications of the ILL experiment in providing evidence for a sterile, fourth neutrino are significantly enhanced. Moreover, we find that the ILL experiment provides a set of choices for specific values of the mass squared difference. The value of the mass square difference for the deepest minimum and its statistical significance, using the flux independent spectral chi-square and the Huber or Daya Bay flux are 0.92 eV$^2$ and 2.9 $σ$; for the conventional chi-square and the Daya Bay flux are 0.95 eV$^2$ and 3.0 $σ$; and for the conventional chi-square and Huber flux are 0.90 eV$^2$ and 3.3 $σ$. These probabilities are significantly larger than the 1.8 $σ$ found for the ILL experiment using a rate analysis.

description: We present our preliminary results on the lowest moment of quark distribution functions of the pion using two flavor dynamical simulations with Wilson twisted mass fermions at maximal twist. The calculation is done in a range of pion masses from 300 to 500 MeV. A stochastic source method is used to reduce inversions in calculating propagators. Finite volume effects at the lowest quark mass are examined by using two different lattice volumes. Our results show that we achieve statistical errors of only a few percent. We plan to compute renormalization constants non-perturbatively and extend the calculation to two more lattice spacings and to the nucleons.

description: Excerpts from the report Summary: Loss and damage to hogs associated with handling and transportation in marketing and processing are estimated at $22.6 million a year, based on average prices prevailing over the years 1957-59. This national figure includes losses due to death in transit, condemnations of carcasses and primal cuts, and carcass bruise damage. A series of four handling and transportation tests were conducted by Farmer Cooperative Service beginning in April 1959. These determined the extent of such losses and explored the relationship they might have to handling conditions and practices ordinarily prevailing in the movement of hogs from concentration points to slaughter.

description: Commercial cellular networks emerged from the wired public switched telephone networks (PSTN) in an evolutionary manner. Market pressures fueled upgrades in bandwidth and functionality. Four decades later, these networks maintain historical artifacts from PSTN networks, and the artifacts work against the fundamental needs of today’s wireless systems. Noncellular wireless networks are used beneficially within geographically limited domains (enterprise, at home), but such networks lack the architecture to scale geographically. In this paper, we step back and re-evaluate existing wireless network architectures, identifying inherent limitations and offering a new set of architectural principles that, we contend, will lead to significantly improved overall system performance and scalability. Based on these principles, we propose the CROSSMobileSM architecture that is enabled by controlled cross-layer information exchange between radio, network, and application layers (both on-device and in-cloud), coupled with information-owner-based privacy and security controls. We discuss how this architecture can provide increased value to equipment and device manufacturers, application and network service providers, and end users. We close by outlining a number of open research questions. CROSSMobile is a service mark of Carnegie Mellon University

description: The fine-tuning principles are analyzed in search for predictions of top-quark and Higgs-boson masses. The modification of Veltman condition based on the compensation between fermion and boson vacuum energies within the Standard Model multiplets is proposed. It is supplied with the stability under rescaling and with the requirement of minimum for the physical v. e. v. for the Higgs field (zero anomalous dimension). Their joint solution for top-quark and Higgs-boson couplings exists for the cutoff $Λ\approx 2.3 \cdot 10^{13}\,GeV$ that yields the low-energy values $m_t = 151 \pm 4\,GeV; m_H = 195 \pm 7\,GeV$.

Perturbations of Schwarzschild Black Holes in Chern-Simons Modified Gravity

description: We study perturbations of a Schwarzschild black hole in Chern-Simons modified gravity. We begin by showing that Birkhoff's theorem holds for a wide family of Chern-Simons coupling functions, a scalar field present in the theory that controls the strength of the Chern-Simons correction to the Einstein-Hilbert action. After decomposing the perturbations in spherical harmonics, we study the linearized modified field equations and find that axial and polar modes are coupled, in contrast to general relativity. The divergence of the modified equations leads to the Pontryagin constraint, which forces the vanishing of the Cunningham-Price-Moncrief master function associated with axial modes. We analyze the structure of these equations and find that the appearance of the Pontryagin constraint yields an overconstrained system that does not allow for generic black hole oscillations. We illustrate this situation by studying the case characterized by a canonical choice of the coupling function and pure-parity perturbative modes. We end with a discussion of how to extend Chern-Simons modified gravity to bypass the Pontryagin constraint and the suppression of perturbations.

Synergy of SDSS and WISE in Stripe 82

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: We report the current results from our effort to synergize WISE and SDSS in the ~300 square degree Stripe 82 region. Using the SDSS images as the prior, we fit the SDSS-detected objects to the WISE W1/W2 images to obtain consistent optical-to-IR SEDs. The major outcome consists of three catalogs: (1) the “SDSS+WISE" photometric catalog of ~13 million SDSS-detected point sources, (2) the “SDSS+WISE" photometric catalog of ~15 million galaxies with photometric redshifts, and (3) the catalog of “WISE Optical Dropouts”, or “WoDrops”, which are those detected in the W1/W2 images but do not have counterparts in the SDSS. We discuss the application of the extragalactic catalogs in the context of Global Stellar Mass Density and Cosmic Star Formation History.

description: We define a lattice model for rock, absorbers, and gas that makes it possible to examine the flow of gas to a complicated absorbing boundary over long periods of time. The motivation is to deduce the geometry of the boundary from the time history of gas absorption. We find a solution to this model using Green's function techniques, and apply the solution to three absorbing networks of increasing complexity.

description: Additive manufacturing technologies (AM) have a unique capacity for handling geometrical complexity and are, therefore, ideal for producing parts with geometrically complex form and structure. In this paper, a methodology for fabricating parts of heterogeneous internal structure by thermoplastic Material Extrusion (MEX) is proposed. Construction of the corresponding layer deposition paths is performed according to locally-defined material density, encoded in the form of a voxel part model. Specific algorithms for constructing a single layer deposition path by joining elementary deposition paths of semi-random or standard shape are developed and tested. Computational tests of the developed algorithmic procedures indicate that the associated computer processing time, is comparable to that implied by conventional slicing and path planning techniques. Results of fabrication tests employing an open-hardware MEX system further prove the feasibility of the approach.
