description: The objective of this study was to determine the influence of solute properties and operational parameters on disinfection by-product (DBP) rejection by reverse osmosis (RO) and nanofiltration (NF) membranes. This was achieved by assessing the removal efficiency for 29 DBPs likely to be formed during disinfection of secondary effluents. The DBPs investigated were trihalomethanes, iodinated-trihalomethanes, haloacetonitriles, chloral hydrate, haloketones, halonitromethanes and haloacetamides. The performance of an NF and a low pressure RO membrane was investigated within a range of different pHs, temperatures, transmembrane fluxes, crossflow velocities and ionic strengths. Rejection decreased significantly with increasing temperature and decreasing transmembrane flux, while the influence of the other operational parameters was minimal with a few exceptions detailed in the manuscript. Multiple linear regression was used to determine the physico-chemical solute properties contributing significantly to DBP rejection. For NF, geometric parameters were revealed to be the dominant molecular descriptors influencing rejection, whereas for RO, besides size exclusion, solute-membrane interaction played an important role. A predictive model based on multiple linear regression was established that could forecast rejection of DBPs as a function of membrane operation parameters and DBP properties.

description: We show that the squared maximal height of the top path among $N$ non-intersecting Brownian bridges starting and ending at the origin is distributed as the top eigenvalue of a random matrix drawn from the Laguerre Orthogonal Ensemble. This result can be thought of as a discrete version of K. Johansson's result that the supremum of the Airy$_2$ process minus a parabola has the Tracy-Widom GOE distribution, and as such it provides an explanation for how this distribution arises in models belonging to the KPZ universality class with flat initial data. The result can be recast in terms of the probability that the top curve of the stationary Dyson Brownian motion hits an hyperbolic cosine barrier.

description: The study of iterations of functions over a finite field and the corresponding functional graphs is a growing area of research with connections to cryptography. The behaviour of such iterations is frequently approximated by what is know as the Brent-Pollard heuristic, where one treats functions as random mappings. We aim at understanding this heuristic and focus on the expected rho length of a node of the functional graph of a polynomial over a finite field. Since the distribution of indegrees (preimage sizes) of a class of functions appears to play a central role in its average rho length, we survey the known results for polynomials over finite fields giving new proofs and improving one of the cases for quartic polynomials. We discuss the effectiveness of the heuristic for many classes of polynomials by comparing our experimental results with the known estimates for random mapping models defined by different restrictions on their distribution of indegrees. We prove that the distribution of indegrees of general polynomials and mappings have similar asymptotic properties, including the same asymptotic average coalescence. The combination of these results and our experiments suggests that these polynomials behave like random mappings, extending a heuristic that was known only for degree $2$. We show numerically that the behaviour of Chebyshev polynomials of degree $d \geq 2$ over finite fields present a sharp contrast when compared to other polynomials in their respective classes.

Inter- and intra-dimensional dependencies in implicit phonotactic learning
Creators: name: Moreton, Elliott
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2012

description: Is phonological learning subject to the same inductive biases as learning in other domains? Previous studies of non-linguistic learning found that intradimensional dependencies (between two instances of the same feature) were learned more easily than inter-dimensional ones. This study compares implicit learning of intra- and inter-dimensional phonotactic dependencies. A series of six unsupervised implicit-learning experiments shows that a pattern based on agreement between two instances of the same feature is easier to learn than one based on correlation between instances of two different features. The results are interpreted as evidence for domain-general restrictions on the form of domain-specific learning primitives.

description: The Maximal Covering Location Problem (MCLP) is a classical location problem where a company maximizes the demand covered by placing a given number of facilities, and each demand node is covered if the closest facility is within a predetermined radius. In the cooperative version of the problem (CMCLP), it is assumed that the facilities of the decision maker act cooperatively to increase the customersz' attraction towards the company. In this sense, a demand node is covered if the aggregated partial attractions (or partial coverings) of open facilities exceed a threshold. In this work, we generalize the CMCLP introducing an Ordered Median function (OMf), a function that assigns importance weights to the sorted partial attractions of each customer and then aggregates the weighted attractions to provide the total level of attraction. We name this problem the Ordered Cooperative Maximum Covering Location Problem (OCMCLP). The OMf serves as a means to compute the total attraction of each customer to the company as an aggregation of ordered partial attractions and constitutes a unifying framework for CMCLP models.
 We introduce a multiperiod stochastic non-linear formulation for the CMCLP with an embedded assignment problem characterizing the ordered cooperative covering. For this model, two exact solution approaches are presented: a MILP reformulation with valid inequalities and an effective approach based on Generalized Benders' cuts. Extensive computational experiments are provided to test our results with randomly generated data and the problem is illustrated with a case study of locating charging stations for electric vehicles in the city of Trois-Rivières, Québec (Canada).

description: The evolution of a bound system in the expanding background has been investigated in this paper. The background is described by a FRW universe with the modified holographic dark energy model, whose equation of state parameter changes with time and can cross the phantom boundary. To study the evolution of the bound system, an interpolating metric is considered, and on this basis the geodesics of a test particle are given. The equation of motion and the effective potential are also derived from the geodesics. By studying the the effective potential and the evolution of the radius of a test particle in the bound system of the Milky Way galaxy, we have found that the galaxy would go through three stages: expands from a singular point; stays in a discoid for a period of time; big rip in the future. With the help of analysing the critical angular momentum, we find that the test particle needs less angular momentum to escape from the center mass as time passes.

description: This research note reports on two studies run to determine whether the interpretations of statements, or forecasts, using vague probability and frequency expressions such as "likely", "improbable","frequently", "rarely" were sensitive to the base rates of the events involved. In the first experiment, professional weather forucasters judged situations drawn from a medical context. In the second, students judged matched forecast scenarios of common semantic content that differed only in prior probability (as determined by an independent group of subjects). Results were as follows: the interpretations of forecasts using neutral terms (e.g. possible) and terms above neutral (e.g. usually) were strong, positive functions of base rate, while the interpretations of forecasts using terms below neutral (e.g. rarely) were much less affected by base rates; in the second experiment, interpretations of forecasts appeared to represent some kind of average of the meaning of the expression and the base rate.

description: The realization of quantum gates in topological quantum computation still confronts significant challenges in both fundamental and practical aspects. Here, we propose a deterministic and fully topologically protected measurement-based scheme to realize the issue of implementing Clifford quantum gates on the Majorana qubits. Our scheme is based on rigorous proof that the single-qubit gate can be performed by leveraging the neighboring Majorana qubit but not disturbing its carried quantum information, eliminating the need for ancillary Majorana zero modes (MZMs) in topological quantum computing. Benefiting from the ancilla-free construction, we show the minimum measurement sequences with four steps to achieve two-qubit Clifford gates by constructing their geometric visualization. To avoid the uncertainty of the measurement-only strategy, we propose manipulating the MZMs in their parameter space to correct the undesired measurement outcomes while maintaining complete topological protection, as demonstrated in a concrete Majorana platform. Our scheme identifies the minimal operations of measurement-based topological and deterministic Clifford gates and offers an ancilla-free design of topological quantum computation.

description: The instanton in the Sakai-Sugimoto model corresponds to the Skyrmion on the holographic boundary - which is asymptotically flat - and is fundamentally different from the flat Minkowski space Yang-Mills instanton. We use the Atiyah-Patodi-Singer index theorem and a series of transformations to show that there are 6k zeromodes - or moduli - in the limit of infinite 't Hooft coupling of the Sakai-Sugimoto model. The implications for the low-energy baryons - the Skyrmions - on the holographic boundary, is a scale separation between 2k "heavy" massive modes and 6k-9 "light" massive modes for k>1; the 9 global transformations that correspond to translations, rotations and isorotations remain as zeromodes. For k=1 there are 2 "heavy" modes and 6 zeromodes due to degeneracy between rotations and isorotations.

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2003

description: Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1) has been implicated in the familial form of the neurodegenerative disease Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS). It has been suggested that mutant mediated SOD1 misfolding/aggregation is an integral part of the pathology of ALS. We study the folding thermodynamics and kinetics of SOD1 using a hybrid molecular dynamics approach. We reproduce the experimentally observed SOD1 folding thermodynamics and find that the residues which contribute the most to SOD1 thermal stability are also crucial for apparent two-state folding kinetics. Surprisingly, we find that these residues are located on the surface of the protein and not in the hydrophobic core. Mutations in some of the identified residues are found in patients with the disease. We argue that the identified residues may play an important role in aggregation. To further characterize the folding of SOD1, we study the role of cysteine residues in folding and find that non-native disulfide bond formation may significantly alter SOD1 folding dynamics and aggregation propensity.

description: The interaction of a solenoid with a passing charged particle can be treated within classical or quantum physics. If charged particles pass around both sides of a solenoid, there is an experimentally-observed Aharonov-Bohm deflection of the double-slit particle interference pattern between charges passing on opposite sides. Such a deflection can be obtained by a classical force calculation. Although the magnitude of the angular deflection agrees between the classical force calculation and the quantum topological theory, the direction of the predicted deflection is opposite. Here we point out the simple basis for the direction of the deflection based upon classical electrodynamics and based upon quantum theory, and we mention analogues, both the electrostatic deflection of the particle interference pattern and the optical analogue of the classical calculation. The deflection direction involves an experimental question which is addressed rarely if ever.

Can Contact Potentials Reliably Predict Stability of Proteins?

Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2004

description: The simplest approximation of interaction potential between amino-acids in proteins is the contact potential, which defines the effective free energy of a protein conformation by a set of amino acid contacts formed in this conformation. Finding a contact potential capable of predicting free energies of protein states across a variety of protein families will aid protein folding and engineering in silico on a computationally tractable time-scale. We test the ability of contact potentials to accurately and transferably (across various protein families) predict stability changes of proteins upon mutations. We develop a new methodology to determine the contact potentials in proteins from experimental measurements of changes in protein’s thermodynamic stabilities (ΔΔG) upon mutations. We apply our methodology to derive sets of contact interaction parameters for a hierarchy of interaction models including solvation and multi-body contact parameters. We test how well our models reproduce experimental measurements by statistical tests. We evaluate the maximum accuracy of predictions obtained by using contact potentials and the correlation between parameters derived from different data-sets of experimental ΔΔG values. We argue that it is impossible to reach experimental accuracy and derive fully transferable contact parameters using the contact models of potentials. However, contact parameters can yield reliable predictions of ΔΔG for datasets of mutations confined to specific amino-acid positions in the sequence of a single protein.

description: In the paper 'On the dynamics of polynomial-like mappings' Douady and Hubbard introduced the notion of polynomial-like maps. They used it to identify homeomophic copies of the Mandelbrot set inside the Mandelbrot set. They conjectured that in case of primitive copies the homeomorphism between the homeomorphic copy of the Mandelbrot set and the Mandelbrot set is q.-c., and similarly in the satellite case, it is q.-c. off any small neighborhood of the root. These conjectures are now Theorems due to Lyubich. The satellite copies of the Mandelbrot set are clearly not q-c homeomorphic to the Mandelbrot set. But are they mutually q-c homeomorphic? Or even q-c homeomorphic to half of the logistic Mandelbrot set? In this paper we prove that, in general, the induced Douady-Hubbard homeomorphism is not the restriction of a q-c homeomorphism: For any two satellite copies of the Mandelbrot set, the induced Douady-Hubbard homeomorphism is not q-c, if the root multipliers, which are primitive q and q' roots of unity, have q different from q'.

description: In this paper, we describe a correspondence between a fuzzy linear code and a family of nested linear codes. We also describe the arithmetic of fuzzy linear codes. As a special class of nested linear codes, we consider a family of nested self-orthogonal codes. A linear code is self-orthogonal if it is contained in its dual and self-dual if it is equal to its dual. We introduce a definition of fuzzy self-dual or self-orthogonal codes which include classical self-dual or self-orthogonal codes. As examples, we construct several interesting classes of fuzzy linear codes including fuzzy Hamming codes, fuzzy Golay codes, and fuzzy Reed-Muller codes. We also give a general decoding algorithm for fuzzy linear codes.

The model is inspired by concepts of gauge/string duality applied to the pomeron.

Student abilities during the expansion of US education

Year: 2014

description: Since 1950, U.S. educational attainment has increased substantially. While the median student in 1950 dropped out of high school, the median student today attends some college. In an environment with ability heterogeneity and positive sorting between ability and school tenure, the expansion of education implies a decrease in the average ability of students conditional on school attainment. Using a calibrated model of school choice under ability heterogeneity, we investigate the quantitive impact of rising attainment on ability and measured wages. Our findings suggest that the decline in average ability depressed wages conditional on schooling by 31-58 percentage points. We also find that the entire rise in the college wage premium since 1950 can be attributed to the rising mean ability of college graduates relative to high school graduates.

description: This work considers the infinite-time discounted optimal control problem for continuous time input-affine polynomial dynamical systems subject to polynomial state and box input constraints. We propose a sequence of sum-of-squares (SOS) approximations of this problem obtained by first lifting the original problem into the space of measures with continuous densities and then restricting these densities to polynomials. These approximations are tightenings, rather than relaxations, of the original problem and provide a sequence of rational controllers with value functions associated to these controllers converging (under some technical assumptions) to the value function of the original problem. In addition, we describe a method to obtain polynomial approximations from above and from below to the value function of the extracted rational controllers, and a method to obtain approximations from below to the optimal value function of the original problem, thereby obtaining a sequence of asymptotically optimal rational controllers with explicit estimates of suboptimality.

description: Pre-trained Vision-Language Models (VLMs) utilizing extensive image-text paired data have demonstrated unprecedented image-text association capabilities, achieving remarkable results across various downstream tasks. A critical challenge is how to make use of existing large-scale pre-trained VLMs, which are trained on common objects, to perform the domain-specific transfer for accomplishing domain-related downstream tasks. A critical challenge is how to make use of existing large-scale pre-trained VLMs, which are trained on common objects, to perform the domain-specific transfer for accomplishing domain-related downstream tasks. In this paper, we propose a new framework that includes the Domain pre-trained Vision-Language Model (DVLM), bridging the gap between the General Vision-Language Model (GVLM) and domain-specific downstream tasks. Moreover, we present an image-text paired dataset in the field of remote sensing (RS), RS5M, which has 5 million RS images with English descriptions. The dataset is obtained from filtering publicly available image-text paired datasets and captioning label-only RS datasets with pre-trained VLM. These constitute the first large-scale RS image-text paired dataset. Additionally, we fine-tuned the CLIP model and tried several Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning methods on RS5M to implement the DVLM. Experimental results show that our proposed dataset is highly effective for various tasks, and our model GeoRSCLIP improves upon the baseline or previous state-of-the-art model by $3\%\sim20\%$ in Zero-shot Classification (ZSC), $3\%\sim6\%$ in Remote Sensing Cross-Modal Text-Image Retrieval (RSCTIR) and $4\%\sim5\%$ in Semantic Localization (SeLo) tasks. Dataset and models have been released in: \url{https://github.com/om-ai-lab/RS5M}.

description: Strategies for Using Web 2.0 Tools in Teaching and Learning Just as pen, paper, scissors, glue, crayons, are some of the tools many of us use to produce reports and share what we are learning, blogs, wikis, photo sharing sites, podcasts, and other new online resources are the tools of today’s students. Just we learn to cut, to colour, to use cursive writing, out students must learn how to use these new tools. We must use the tools, evaluate their usefulness, and teach students to use them effectively. The teachers and teacher educators should embrace these new digital tools. This paper focus on the newer tools commonly called Web2.0 tools because they allow for much interactivity and user created content. They provide digital equity, creativity, and collaboration. This paper discusses the important characteristics of Web 2.0 tools. Key Words : Web 2.0 tools, Social media, ICT

description: Skyrmions are topologically protected entities in magnetic materials which have the potential to be used in spintronics for information storage and processing. However, Skyrmions in ferromagnets have some intrinsic difficulties which must be overcome to use them for spintronic applications, such as the inability to move straight along current. We show that Skyrmions can also be stabilized and manipulated in antiferromagnetic materials. An antiferromagnetic Skyrmion is a compound topological object with a similar but of opposite sign spin texture on each sublattice, which e.g. results in a complete cancelation of the Magnus force. We find that the composite nature of antiferromagnetic Skyrmions gives rise to different dynamical behavior, both due to an applied current and temperature effects.

description: We study the realistic structure of F-term Nambu-Goto cosmic strings forming in a general supersymmetric Grand Unified Theory implementation, assuming standard hybrid inflation. Examining the symmetry breaking of the unification gauge group down to the Standard Model, we discuss the minimal field content necessary to describe abelian cosmic strings appearing at the end of inflation. We find that several fields will condense in most theories, questioning the plausible occurrence of associated currents (bosonic and fermionic). We perturbatively evaluate the modification of their energy per unit length due to the condensates. We provide a criterion for comparing the usual abelian Higgs approximation used in cosmology to realistic situations.

description: An increase in the uptake of longer lasting products will be more likely if consumers associate longevity with quality, but this relationship has rarely been addressed by academics. To increase understanding in this area, this study explores how companies interpret and implement the concept of product quality. A literature review is used to provide a conceptual analysis of product quality and its evolution in management thinking. To explain the current notion of the concept, the paper discusses initial findings from interviews with informants in companies producing durable consumer goods. An argument is proposed that ideas of product quality have expanded to include aspects such as branding and marketing, and consequently there may be a need to revisit the concept in the light of these new developments. Furthermore, the paper’s purpose is to distinguish the concept of product quality from the quality of processes that build up a product’s quality, and to review the dimensions of product quality. Discussion on quality has evolved from a focus on production processes and employee training to customer satisfaction and delivering value. The paper also captures the influential role of marketing in incorporating the quality of products offered by companies and proposes a definition of product quality that forms a stance through which the concept can be studied further.
Inferring the finest pattern of mutual independence from data

description: For a random variable $X$, we are interested in the blind extraction of its finest mutual independence pattern $μ( X )$. We introduce a specific kind of independence that we call dichotomic. If $Δ( X )$ stands for the set of all patterns of dichotomic independence that hold for $X$, we show that $μ( X )$ can be obtained as the intersection of all elements of $Δ( X )$. We then propose a method to estimate $Δ( X )$ when the data are independent and identically (i.i.d.) realizations of a multivariate normal distribution. If $\hatΔ ( X )$ is the estimated set of valid patterns of dichotomic independence, we estimate $μ( X )$ as the intersection of all patterns of $\hatΔ ( X )$. The method is tested on simulated data, showing its advantages and limits. We also consider an application to a toy example as well as to experimental data.

Evidence on the Extent and Potential Sources of Long Memory in U.S. Treasury Security Returns and Yields

description: Unlike equity returns, many fixed-income return and volatility measures appear to display long memory. Granger and others have argued that long memory may only reflect infrequent structural breaks. We show that the extent of long memory in U.S. Treasury debt returns differs strongly for gross and excess holding period returns. We explore the impact of structural instability on tests for long memory using a version of the supLM test developed by Andrews (1993). We find only weak indications that structural instability lies behind the long memory in gross and excess returns. We also show that the evidence of long memory remains strong for yield and term premia series even after accounting for underlying structural changes.
