description: Cosmological implication of a generalized model of two scalar and two vector fields, in which both scalar fields are non-minimally coupled to each vector field, is studied in this paper. In particular, we will seek a set of new anisotropic power-law inflationary solutions to this model. Additionally, the stability of the obtained solutions will be examined by using the dynamical system approach. As a result, we will show that this set of solutions turns out to be stable and attractive during the inflationary phase as expected due to the existence of the unusual couplings between two scalar and two vector fields. Notably, we will point out that the existence of phantom field will lead to an instability of the corresponding anisotropic power-law inflation.

description: The load carrying and deformation capacity of square reinforced concrete (RC) column confined by rectangular spiral lateral reinforcement subjected to axial load were investigated numerically using abaqus. Thirty one short square RC columns were modeled where seventeen had conventional hoop tie and the remaining fourteen columns had rectangular spiral lateral reinforcement configuration. The configuration, amount and spacing of the lateral reinforcement were included as a factor of confinement in the investigation. Different amounts of lateral reinforcement including 1.4%, 1.6%, 1.8%, 2% and 2.3% were provided in the investigated columns. The diameters of lateral reinforcement used for confinement purpose were 6 mm, 8 mm and 10 mm. The primary objective of this study was focused on the investigation of confinement effect of continuous lateral reinforcement configuration in terms of stress carrying and deformation capacity of confined reinforced concrete columns. RC columns confined with either configuration (hoop or spiral) of lateral reinforcement and provided with the amount of reinforcement in the range of 1.6% to 2% where the spacing to core depth (s/dc) ratio was maintained in the range of 0.4-0.5 had exhibited improved deformation and stress capacity. Accordingly, confined RC columns with rectangular hoop lateral reinforcement had 12% and RC columns with continuous spiral lateral reinforcement had 40% higher deformation capacity compared to RC columns with the same amount and configuration of lateral reinforcement but where the spacing was in such a way s/dc ratio was ≥ 0.5. Clearly, the use of rectangular spiral reinforcement as lateral reinforcement could be considered as a better alternative for lateral reinforcement of short square RC columns particularly, where the deformation capacity is the main importance

Sound source localization

description: Sound source localization is an important task for several applications and the use of deep learning for this task has recently become a popular research topic. While the majority of the previous work has focused on static sound sources, in this work we evaluate the performance of a deep learning classification system for localization of high-speed moving sound sources. In particular, we systematically evaluate the effect of a wide range of parameters at three levels including: data generation (e.g., acoustic conditions), feature extraction (e.g., STFT parameters), and model training (e.g., neural network architectures). We evaluate the performance of multiple metrics in terms of precision, recall, F-score and confusion matrix in a multi-class multi-label classification framework. We used four different deep learning models: feedforward neural networks, recurrent neural network, gated recurrent networks and temporal Convolutional neural network. We showed that (1) the presence of some reverberation in the training dataset can help in achieving better detection for the direction of arrival of acoustic sources, (2) window size does not affect the performance of static sources but highly affects the performance of moving sources, (3) sequence length has a significant effect on the performance of recurrent neural network architectures, (4) temporal convolutional neural networks can outperform both recurrent and feedforward networks for moving sound sources, (5) training and testing on white noise is easier for the network than training on speech data, and (6) increasing the number of elements in the microphone array improves the performance of the direction of arrival estimation.

description: A gas of ultracold $^6$Li atoms (effective spin 1/2) confined to an elongated trap with one-dimensional properties is a candidate to display three different phases: (i) fermions bound in Cooper-pair-like states, (ii) unbound spin-polarized particles, and (iii) a mixed phase which is believed to have some resemblance to the FFLO pairing. It is of great interest to extend these studies to fermionic atoms with higher spin, e.g., for neutral $^{40}$K, $^{43}$Ca, $^{87}$Sr or $^{173}$Yb atoms. Within the grand-canonical ensemble we investigated the $μ$ vs. $H$ phase diagram for $S=3/2$ ($μ$ is the chemical potential and $H$ the external magnetic field) for the ground state using the exact Bethe {\it ansatz} solution of the one-dimensional Fermi gas interacting with an attractive $δ$-function potential. There are four fundamental states: The particles can be either unpaired or clustered in bound states of two, three and four fermions. The rich phase diagram consists of these four states and various mixed phases in which combinations of the fundamental states coexist. Bound states of four fermions are not favorable in high magnetic fields, but always present if the field is low. Working within the grand-canonical ensemble has the following advantages: (1) A universal phase diagram is obtained by scaling with respect to the interaction strength and (2) possible scenarios for phase separation are explored within the local density approximation. The phase diagram for the superposition of a Zeeman and a quadrupolar splitting is also discussed.

Demonstration of GnRH-R in bovine uterus and oviducts and GnRH agonist (buserelin) induced in vitro regulation of steroid hormone receptors and apoptosis in bovine endometrium
Creators: name: Singh, Ravinder
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The presence of GnRH-R in bovine uterus and oviducts and the local modulatory role of the GnRH, GnRH-R system in the uterine physiology is not known. This dissertation reports studies designed to determine the presence of GnRH-R in the bovine uterus and oviducts and further studied GnRH agonist, buserelin induced steroid hormone receptor regulation (ERα, ERβ and PR) and apoptosis in the follicular and luteal phase bovine endometrium. RT-PCR and immunoblotting revealed GnRH-R mRNA (920 bp) and protein (60 kD), respectively in both the follicular and luteal phase endometrium and oviducts. Immunohistochemistry further localized GnRH-R to the endometrial and oviductal epithelial cells. In the second experiment (Chapter 3) RT-PCR studies on in vitro endometrial explant cultures showed that the GnRH, agonist, buserelin (200 ng/mL) had a stimulatory response (P≤ 0.05) on ERα mRNA in the luteal phase endometrium after 6 h of treatment. The PR mRNA levels were not changed in these experiments. The last experiment (chapter 4) investigated the effect of buserelin on endometrial apoptosis at the molecular (Bax, Bcl-2, caspase3, Fas mRNA) and cellular level. This part used endometrial explant culture, RT PCR, endometrial epithelial cell culture, immunofluoroscence and apoptotic assay. Buserelin induced an apoptotic response (P ≤ 0.05) in the follicular phase endometrium by stimulating Bax (200 ng/mL) and caspase3 mRNA (200, 500 ng/mL) after 6 h of treatment. The Bcl-2 and Fas mRNA expressions remained unchanged. The buserelin (200 ng/mL) induced epithelial cell apoptosis in the follicular phase endometrium at the cellular level, when the cells were treated for 6 h and further allowed to grow for 24 h. The GnRH antagonist-antide did not induce similar effects on ERα mRNA and apoptosis in these experiments. In conclusion, this study a) demonstrated GnRH-R in the follicular and luteal phase bovine endometrium and oviducts, b) elucidated that GnRH agonist, buserelin up-regulates ERα mRNA in the luteal phase endometrium and, c) induced apoptosis in the follicular phase endometrium. These findings indicate that GnRH supports reproductive process at the endometrial level. These are new findings in the field of reproductive biology. The local modulatory role of GnRH, GnRH-R system in oviducts needs further investigation.

CUSTOMER SATISFACTION AND CUSTOMER LOYALTY ON COURIER SERVICE QUALITY IN MALAYSIA: A REVIEW OF POSLAJU
Creators: name: Zakiuddin, Zulazmi
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021
Subjects: Servqual, Customer Satisfaction, Customer Loyalty

description: This paper intends to identify the customer satisfaction and customer loyalty on courier service quality in Malaysia based on a review of PosLaju. The service quality that the courier service provides has an adverse impact on the satisfaction that customers received. Customer loyalty on the use of the courier service depends on how satisfied the customers are with the service quality. This research uses the design theory of SERVQUAL that is usually used in service quality literature as the basic theory to study the consequence of service quality of PosLaju on customer satisfaction and customer loyalty. A comprehensive literature review is carried out from various sources to understand customer satisfaction, customer loyalty, service quality, tangibility, reliability, assurance, empathy, and responsiveness. Descriptive analysis, reliability test, Pearson Correlation Coefficient, and multivariate linear regression analysis method were used as a method of data analysis to interpret the results. A pilot study was conducted, and the results were tested for its reliability before distributing it to the respondents. The results obtained from this research could help PosLaju to have greater control over their SERVQUAL used in the courier service in order to gain customer satisfaction and customer loyalty.

description: We considered the behaviour of Dirac fermion modes in the background of Euclidean dilaton black hole with an Abelian Higgs vortex passing through it. Fermions were coupled to the fields due to the superconducting string model. The case of nonextremal and extremal charged black hole in the theory with arbitrary coupling constant between dilaton field and U(1)-gauge field were considered. We elaborated the cases of zero and non-zero Dirac fermion modes. One finds the evidence that the system under consideration can support fermion fields acting like superconducting hair on black hole in the sence that nontrivial spinor field configuration can be carried by Euclidean spherically symmetric charged dilaton black hole. It was revealed that the localization of Dirac fermion modes depended on the cosmic string winding number and the value of black hole surface gravity.

Der Begriff der sinnlichen Erkenntnis bei Immanuel Kant und Alexander Gottlieb Baumgarten - Eine Annäherung an die Perzeptionsgeschichte in der europäischen Aufklärung -
Creators: name: Dr. Petra Vogler
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2020
Subjects: Sinnliche Erkenntnis, Sinnlichkeit, Kant, Baumgarten, Aufklärung

description: Die Grundfragen, welche im Rahmen der Epistemologie, also der Erkenntnislehre, gestellt
 werden, lauten u.a. „wie und inwiefern beteiligen sich die Sinne und der Verstand am
 Erkennen“, „wie kommt Erkenntnis zustande“ oder „was ist Erkenntnis überhaupt“?
 Hierzu führt Thaliath in seinem Aufsatz zur sinnlichen Erkenntnis (2018) folgende
 Überlegungen aus: „Seit der Grundlegung der Episteme- und der Epistemologie – von
 Platon wird an der Zusammenwirkung bzw. an der korrelativen Beteiligung der Sinne und
 des Verstandes am Erkennen kaum gezweifelt. Man erkennt durch die Sinne und den
 Verstand. Allerdings sind diese durchaus verschiedenen Fähigkeiten des Subjekts in
 Bezug auf die Natur und das Ausmaß ihrer Beteiligung am Erkennen kaum gleichgestellt
 worden. Stattdessen werden sie im Erkenntnisprozess hierarchisch unterteilt. Den Sinnen
 schreibt Platon eine niedrige Funktion zu, nämlich die unvollkommene oder unpräzise
 Wahrnehmung von Gegenständen, die in ihrem Seinsmodus ebenso unvollkommene
 Abbilder von Ideen ausmachen. Dagegen ist der epistemische Zugang zu den
 vollkommenen und ewigen Ideen notwendigerweise eine geistige Schau (Thaliath 2018:
 2).“ Diese epistemische Grundansicht wird auch von Descartes in der Frühmoderne weiter
 vertreten; er beschreibt die sinnlichen Wahrnehmungen als eine „Vorphase des
 Erkennens“, d.h. es bedarf bei der Verarbeitung von Sinneseindrücken der klärenden und
 ordnenden Beteiligung des Verstandes. Diese Vorrangstellung des Verstandes vor der
 Sinnlichkeit wurde, so Thaliath, auch „in der postkartesischen Philosophie des
 Rationalismus weiter expliziert“ und dann in der Transzendentalphilosophie Kants weiter
 ausgeführt (vgl. Thaliath 2018: 2). In seiner Lehre der Sinnlichkeit, der Transzendentalen Ästhetik – einem Teil der Kritik der
 reinen Vernunft -, erörtert Kant diese Vorrangstellung des Verstandes gegenüber der
 Sinnlichkeit. Im Anschluss wird der erste Teil seiner Transzendentalen Elementarlehre im
 Detail wiedergegeben und kommentiert.

description: The purpose of the thesis was to examine the terrorist organization "Islamic State" during its rule, 2014 - 2017, in the Middle East and attempted to examine two main issues: a) what is the "Islamic State" and b) how its presence affected Europe. Methodologically, the historical background of the creation of "ISIS" was examined and how the ideological background approached an extreme fundamentalist interpretation of Islam, which in the modern terminology of International Studies is identified with terrorism. In addition, the thesis focused on the ways of imposing and prevailing the propaganda of "ISIS" from 2014 to 2017, i.e. the period of its heyday. First, the dynamics of social media and the mechanisms of recruitment, but also of highlighting a virtual "revolutionary" identity with the use of various symbols, were analyzed. Then, the operational education system of "ISIS" was presented by analysing textbooks, whose propaganda focuses on the religious and military education of children and youth. Methodologically, there is a focus on the analysis of the image and the religious discourse for educational purposes. Finally, the effects of the actions and attacks of "ISIS" in Europe and the new issues raised for the EU in the face of this new reality were presented

description: Gaussian process regression is a well-established Bayesian machine learning method. We propose a new approach to Gaussian process regression using quantum kernels based on parameterized quantum circuits. By employing a hardware-efficient feature map and careful regularization of the Gram matrix, we demonstrate that the variance information of the resulting quantum Gaussian process can be preserved. We also show that quantum Gaussian processes can be used as a surrogate model for Bayesian optimization, a task that critically relies on the variance of the surrogate model. To demonstrate the performance of this quantum Bayesian optimization algorithm, we apply it to the hyperparameter optimization of a machine learning model which performs regression on a real-world dataset. We benchmark the quantum Bayesian optimization against its classical counterpart and show that quantum version can match its performance.

description: Epilepsy affects more than 50 million people worldwide, making it one of the world's most prevalent neurological diseases. The main symptom of epilepsy is seizures, which occur abruptly and can cause serious injury or death. The ability to predict the occurrence of an epileptic seizure could alleviate many risks and stresses people with epilepsy face. We formulate the problem of detecting preictal (or pre-seizure) with reference to normal EEG as a precursor to incoming seizure. To this end, we developed several supervised deep learning approaches to identify preictal EEG from normal EEG. We further develop novel unsupervised deep learning approaches to train the models on only normal EEG, and detecting pre-seizure EEG as an anomalous event. These deep learning models were trained and evaluated on two large EEG seizure datasets in a person-specific manner. We found that both supervised and unsupervised approaches are feasible; however, their performance varies depending on the patient, approach and architecture. This new line of research has the potential to develop therapeutic interventions and save human lives.

description: We investigate the lateral dynamics in a purely viscous lipid membrane surrounded by viscoelastic media such as polymeric solutions. We first obtain the generalized frequency-dependent mobility tensor and focus on the case when the solvent is sandwiched by hard walls. Due to the viscoelasticity of the solvent, the mean square displacement of a disk embedded in the membrane exhibits an anomalous diffusion. An useful relation which connects the mean square displacement and the solvent modulus is provided. We also calculate the cross-correlation of the particle displacements which can be applied for two-particle tracking experiments.

description: The best examples of halo nuclei, exotic systems with a diffuse nuclear cloud surrounding a tightly-bound core, are found in the light, neutron-rich region, where the halo neutrons experience only weak binding and a weak, or no, potential barrier. Modern direct reaction measurement techniques provide powerful probes of the structure of exotic nuclei. Despite more than four decades of these studies on the benchmark one-neutron halo nucleus Be-11, the spectroscopic factors for the two bound states remain poorly constrained. In the present work, the Be-10(d,p) reaction has been used in inverse kinematics at four beam energies to study the structure of Be-11. The spectroscopic factors extracted using the adiabatic model, were found to be consistent across the four measurements, and were largely insensitive to the optical potential used. The extracted spectroscopic factor for a neutron in a nlj = 2s1/2 state coupled to the ground state of Be-10 is 0.71(5). For the first excited state at 0.32 MeV, a spectroscopic factor of 0.62(4) is found for the halo neutron in a 1p1/2 state.

description: Alzheimers Disease AD is an acute neuro disease that degenerates the brain cells and thus leads to memory loss progressively. It is a fatal brain disease that mostly affects the elderly. It steers the decline of cognitive and biological functions of the brain and shrinks the brain successively, which in turn is known as Atrophy. For an accurate diagnosis of Alzheimers disease, cutting edge methods like machine learning are essential. Recently, machine learning has gained a lot of attention and popularity in the medical industry. As the illness progresses, those with Alzheimers have a far more difficult time doing even the most basic tasks, and in the worst case, their brain completely stops functioning. A persons likelihood of having early-stage Alzheimers disease may be determined using the ML method. In this analysis, papers on Alzheimers disease diagnosis based on deep learning techniques and reinforcement learning between 2008 and 2023 found in google scholar were studied. Sixty relevant papers obtained after the search was considered for this study. These papers were analysed based on the biomarkers of AD and the machine-learning techniques used. The analysis shows that deep learning methods have an immense ability to extract features and classify AD with good accuracy. The DRL methods have not been used much in the field of image processing. The comparison results of deep learning and reinforcement learning illustrate that the scope of Deep Reinforcement Learning DRL in dementia detection needs to be explored.

description: INTRODUCTION: Breast and cervical cancer are the most common cancers in women worldwide. Widely implemented screening programs have allowed for the detection of precancerous lesions in the breast and cervix and have provided a valuable opportunity to study the earliest events in disease development with the goal of distinguishing cases that are likely to progress from those that are self limited or would spontaneously regress. OBJECTIVE: The overall objective of this thesis is to identify genes in biological pathways or networks altered in pre cancerous lesions of the breast and cervix using global analysis tools. HYPOTHESIS: I hypothesize that global transcriptome and high resolution genome analysis will identify altered genes that are shared in pre cancer lesions of both the cervix and breast. METHODS: A comprehensive Serial Analysis of Gene Expression method was used for the unbiased analysis of well characterized, frozen samples of normal cervix, CIN I, CIN II and CIN III. Tiling resolution whole genome array comparative hybridization was used for the detailed investigation of lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS) and atypical lobular hyperplasia (ALH). The efficacy of this tool was first confirmed in commonly used breast cancer cell lines and then in archival breast cancer tissue. RESULTS: This work has led to the identification of aberrations in a chromatin remodelling gene network not previously implicated in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia. Genomic copy number analysis revealed novel features not previously described including aberrations to multiple components of a single biological pathway (epidermal growth factor receptor), the delineation of alteration boundaries and the identification of a novel amplicon of prognostic significance in breast cancer. We identified novel copy number changes in several genes in LCIS and ALH (including HOXB cluster genes) that were used to elucidate a genomic signature. Aberrations in HoxB7 were identified in pre cancer lesions of both breast and cervix (LCIS and CIN III) tissue. CONCLUSION: Collectively, this work demonstrates that through whole genome approach of assessment of genomic copy number and expression we can identify novel genes and gene networks that are altered during the development of pre cancer lesions.

Μέσω των παραπάνω στόχων επιδιώκεται η βιωσιμότητα των πόλεων και η δράση για την κλιματική αλλαγή και την προστασία της ζωής των υδάτινων και χερσαίων οικοσυστημάτων. Έτσι θα επιτευχθεί η μείωση της κατανάλωσης, η βιωσιμότητα στην κατανάλωση φυσικών πόρων και τελικά η έξυπνη κατανάλωση. Κύριο ζήτημα της εργασίας είναι η έξυπνη κατανάλωση. Ειδικότερα θα καταγραφούν και θα αναλυθούν εφαρμογές έξυπνης κατανάλωσης στον χώρο των κτιρίων, των σπιτιών (για εξοικονόμηση νερού και ηλεκτρικού ρεύματος), των επιχειρήσεων, των μετακινήσεων, της διακυβέρνησης, της τραπεζικής, των data center, των τροφίμων και των ΤΠΕ. Πλέον τα πληροφοριακά συστήματα διαδραματίζουν καταλυτικό ρόλο στην καθημερινότητα των ανθρώπων, σε διάφορους τομείς της ζωής. Συνεπώς θα ήταν αποτελεσματικό, αυτά τα πληροφοριακά συστήματα να συνδέονται με την αειφορία και να συνεισφέρουν στην προστασία του περιβάλλοντος, χωρίς την επιβάρυνσή του
description: In this master's thesis, the role of Green Information Technology and Green Information and Communication Technologies (Green ICT) is studied in the 17 sustainable development goals (SDG), an idea adopted by the United Nations (UN). Through the above objectives, the sustainability of cities and the action for climate change and the protection of the life of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems are pursued. This is how consumption reduction, sustainability in the consumption of natural resources and ultimately smart consumption will be achieved. The main issue of the work is smart consumption. In particular, smart consumption applications in the areas of buildings, homes (to save water and electricity), businesses, transportation, governance, banking, data centers, food and ICT will be recorded and analyzed. Now information systems play a catalytic role in people's daily lives, in various areas of life. Therefore, it would be effective for these information systems to be linked to sustainability and to contribute to the protection of the environment, without burdening it

description: We discuss stationary aspects of a set of driven lattice gases in which hard-core particles with spatial extent, covering more than one lattice site, diffuse and reconstruct in one dimension under nearest-neighbor interactions. As in the uncoupled case [M. Barma et al., J. Phys. Condens. Matter 19, 065112 (2007)], the dynamics of the phase space breaks up into an exponentially large number of mutually disconnected sectors labeled by a non-local construct, the irreducible string. Depending on whether the particle couplings are taken attractive or repulsive, simulations in most of the studied sectors show that both steady state currents and pair correlations behave quite differently at low temperature regimes. For repulsive interactions an order-by-disorder transition is suggested.
