description: The Hamming graph $H(d,n)$ is the Cartesian product of $d$ complete graphs on $n$ vertices. Let $m=d(n-1)$ be the degree and $V = n^d$ be the number of vertices of $H(d,n)$. Let $p_c^{(d)}$ be the critical point for bond percolation on $H(d,n)$. We show that, for $d \in \mathbb N$ fixed and $n \to \infty$, \begin{equation*} p_c^{(d)}= \dfrac{1}{m} + \dfrac{2d^2-1}{2(d-1)^2}\dfrac{1}{m^2} + O(m^{-3}) + O(m^{-1}V^{-1/3}), \end{equation*} which extends the asymptotics found in \cite{BorChaHofSlaSpe05b} by one order. The term $O(m^{-1}V^{-1/3})$ is the width of the critical window. For $d=4,5,6$ we have $m^{-3} = O(m^{-1}V^{-1/3})$, and so the above formula represents the full asymptotic expansion of $p_c^{(d)}$. In \cite{FedHofHolHul16a} \st{we show that} this formula is a crucial ingredient in the study of critical bond percolation on $H(d,n)$ for $d=2,3,4$. The proof uses a lace expansion for the upper bound and a novel comparison with a branching random walk for the lower bound. The proof of the lower bound also yields a refined asymptotics for the susceptibility of a subcritical Erdős-Rényi random graph.

description: Measurements of ion cyclotron emission (ICE) from magnetically confined fusion (MCF) plasmas are helpful for understanding the physics of energetic ion populations therein. ICE is studied in most large MCF experiments, and may be used in future to measure properties of the fusion-born alpha-particle population in deuterium-tritium (DT) plasmas in ITER. Diagnostic exploitation of ICE is assisted by particle-in-cell (PIC) kinetic code EPOCH which self-consistently solves the Maxwell-Lorentz system of equations for millions of computational ions and fully resolves gyromotion, hence capturing the cyclotron resonant phenomenology underlying ICE, which is driven by an energetic, spatially localised, strongly non-Maxwellian ion population relaxing under the magnetoacoustic cyclotron instability (MCI). Here, for the first time, we incorporate a population of thermal tritons in addition to deuterons in EPOCH simulations of ICE relevant to MCF DT plasmas. Physically, the tritium population may support additional cyclotron harmonic waves; and tritons may also participate in wave-particle cyclotron resonant interactions involving thermal deuterons and the alpha-particles driving ICE, particularly at frequencies where deuteron and triton cyclotron harmonics are degenerate. We quantify the resulting variation in the distribution of ICE spectral peak intensities with tritium concentration. This is noticeable, and therefore important for the development of ICE diagnostics for future DT plasmas; nevertheless, simulations involving only thermal deuterons remain a good overall guide. Our conclusions are reinforced by analysis of the time-evolution of kinetic and field energy densities in the simulations, together with bicoherence analysis of the nonlinear interactions which couple energy flow between different cyclotron harmonics.

Subjects: Automatic Vehicle Identification Convolutional Neural Network Deep Learning Object Detection Optical Character Recognition

description: The focus of this research is to develop a system that assist humans in reading car
 license plate. Such a study is important as the number of traffic on roads becomes
 increasing constantly, the manual process in car license plate recognition becomes a
 serious problem for traffic management system which not only detect and track a
 vehicle but also identify it. Initially a dataset that contains 930 car images was prepared
 for model comparison purpose. Two object detection algorithms (Faster R-CNN and
 SSD) were trained and tested on the same dataset using the same model to select the
 best candidate. The metrics for the comparison were accuracy, average prediction time,
 and total training time taken. It was found that Faster R-CNN gives high accuracy, short
 average prediction time, and short total training time. After that additional car and
 cropped license plate images were added to the prepared dataset and based on this, two
 object detection networks were trained using Faster R-CNN one for plate detection and
 another for character recognition on the detected plate. The proposed approach has been
 tested on test set and later collected images of national license plate of Ethiopia. Both
 the trained models were achieved a high accuracy which is 99 and 98.89 mAP over 0.5
 IoU for plate detection and character recognition respectively and takes on average 12s
 to complete the recognition of a license plate. The study could be further investigated
 on other countries.

description: This paper focuses on the tracking performance limitation for a class of networked control systems(NCSs) with two-channel constraints. In communication channels, we consider bandwidth, energy constraints and additive colored Gaussian noise(ACGN) simultaneously. In plant, non-minimal zeros and unstable poles are considered; multi-repeated zeros and poles are also applicable. To obtain the optimal performance, the two-parameter controller is adopted. The theoretical results show that the optimal tracking performance is influenced by the non-minimum phase zeros, unstable poles, gain at all frequencies of the given plant, and the reference input signal for NCSs. Moreover, the performance limitation is also affected by the limited bandwidth, additive colored Gaussian noise, and the corresponding multiples for the non-minimum phase zeros and unstable poles. Additionally, the channel minimal input power constraints are given under the condition ensuring the stability of the system and acquiring system performance limitation. Finally, simulation examples are given to illustrate the theoretical results.

description: We present a detailed theoretical study of the rotational excitation of CH$^+$ due to reactive and nonreactive collisions involving C$^+(^2P)$, H$_2$, CH$^+$, H and free electrons. Specifically, the formation of CH$^+$ proceeds through the reaction between C$^+(^2P)$ and H$_2(ν_{\rm H_2}=1, 2)$, while the collisional (de)excitation and destruction of CH$^+$ is due to collisions with hydrogen atoms and free electrons. State-to-state and initial-state-specific rate coefficients are computed in the kinetic temperature range 10-3000~K for the inelastic, exchange, abstraction and dissociative recombination processes using accurate potential energy surfaces and the best scattering methods. Good agreement, within a factor of 2, is found between the experimental and theoretical thermal rate coefficients, except for the reaction of CH$^+$ with H atoms at kinetic temperatures below 50~K. The full set of collisional and chemical data are then implemented in a radiative transfer model. Our Non-LTE calculations confirm that the formation pumping due to vibrationally excited H$_2$ has a substantial effect on the excitation of CH$^+$ in photon-dominated regions. In addition, we are able to reproduce, within error bars, the far-infrared observations of CH$^+$ toward the Orion Bar and the planetary nebula NGC~7027. Our results further suggest that the population of $ν_{\rm H_2}=2$ might be significant in the photon-dominated region of NGC~7027.

description: In statistical mechanics, entropy is defined as a fundamental quantity. However, its unit, J/K, involves that of temperature, which is only subsequently defined - and defined in terms of entropy. This circularity arises with the introduction of Boltzmann's constant into the very expression of entropy. The J/K carried by the constant prevents entropy from finding a unit of its own while simultaneously obfuscating its informational nature. Following the precepts of information theory, we argue that entropy is well measured in bits and coincides with information capacity at thermodynamic equilibrium. Consequently, not only is the temperature of a system in equilibrium expressed in J/bit, but it acquires a clear meaning: It is the cost in energy to increase its information capacity by 1 bit. Viewing temperature as joules per bit uncovers the strong duality exhibited by Gibbs long ago between available capacity and free energy. It also simplifies Landauer's cost and clarifies that it is a cost of displacement, not of erasure. Replacing the kelvin with the bit as an SI unit would remove Boltzmann's constant from the seven defining constants.

description: Tapered fibers with diameters ranging from 1-4 micron are widely used to excite the whispering-gallery (WG) modes of microcavities. Typically, the transmission spectrum of a WG cavity coupled to a waveguide around a resonance assumes a Lorentzian dip morphology due to resonant absorption of the light within the cavity. In this paper, we demonstrate that the transmission spectra of a WG cavity coupled with an ultrathin fiber (500-700nm) may exhibit both Lorentzian dips and peaks, depending on the gap between the fiber and the microcavity. By considering the large scattering loss of off-resonant light from the fiber within the coupling region, this phenomenon can be attributed to partially resonant light bypassing the lossy scattering region via WG modes, allowing it to be coupled both to and from the cavity, thence manifesting as Lorentzian peaks within the transmission spectra, which implies the system could be implemented within a bandpass filter framework.

description: Interventions to mitigate the spread of infectious diseases, while succeeding in their goal, have economic and social costs associated with them. These limit the duration and intensity of the interventions. We study a class of interventions which reduce the reproduction number and find the optimal strength of the intervention which minimizes the final epidemic size for an immunity inducing infection. The intervention works by eliminating the overshoot part of an epidemic, and avoids a second wave of infections. We extend the framework by considering a heterogeneous population and find that the optimal intervention can pose an ethical dilemma for decision and policymakers. This ethical dilemma is shown to be analogous to the trolley problem. We apply this optimization strategy to real-world contact data and case fatality rates from three pandemics to underline the importance of this ethical dilemma in real-world scenarios.

description: We study the small scale clustering of gyrotactic swimmers transported by a turbulent flow, when the intrinsic variability of the swimming parameters within the population is considered. By means of extensive numerical simulations, we find that the variety of the population introduces a characteristic scale $R^*$ in its spatial distribution. At scales smaller than $R^*$ the swimmers are homogeneously distributed, while at larger scales an inhomogeneous distribution is observed with a fractal dimension close to what observed for a monodisperse population characterized by mean parameters. The scale $R^*$ depends on the dispersion of the population and it is found to scale linearly with the standard deviation both for a bimodal and for a Gaussian distribution. Our numerical results, which extend recent findings for a monodisperse population, indicate that in principle it is possible to observe small scale, fractal clustering in a laboratory experiment with gyrotactic cells.

description: This paper is concerned with the following fractional Schrödinger equations involving critical exponents: \begin{eqnarray*} (-Δ)^αu+V(x)u=k(x)f(u)+λ|u|^{2_α^{*}-2}u\quad\quad \mbox{in}\ \mathbb{R}^{N}, \end{eqnarray*} where $(-Δ)^α$ is the fractional Laplacian operator with $α\in(0,1)$, $N\geq2$, $λ$ is a positive real parameter and $2_α^{*}=2N/(N-2α)$ is the critical Sobolev exponent, $V(x)$ and $k(x)$ are positive and bounded functions satisfying some extra hypotheses. Based on the principle of concentration compactness in the fractional Sobolev space and the minimax arguments, we obtain the existence of a nontrivial radially symmetric weak solution for the above-mentioned equations without assuming the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition on the subcritical nonlinearity.

description: We perform a detailed analysis of the fundamental mode of non-radial pulsations of color flavor locked strange stars. Solving the general relativistic equations for non-radial pulsations for an equation of state derived within the MIT bag model, we calculate the frequency and the gravitational damping time of the fundamental mode for all the parametrizations of the equation of state that lead to self-bound matter. Our results show that color flavor locked strange stars can emit gravitational radiation in the optimal range for present gravitational wave detectors and that it is possible to constrain the equation of state's parameters if the fundamental oscillation mode is observed and the stellar mass is determined. We also show that the $f$-mode frequency can be fitted as a function of the square root of the average stellar density $\sqrt{M/R^3}$ by a single linear relation that fits quite accurately the results for all parametrizations of the equation of state. All results for the damping time can also be fitted as a function of the compactness $M/R$ by a single empirical relation. Therefore, if a given compact object is identified as a color flavor locked strange star these two relations could be used to determine the mass and the radius from the knowledge of the frequency and the damping time of gravitational waves from the $f$ mode.

description: The proposed project aims to investigate the potential for a future intellectual property (IP), data, and knowledge commons to support public infrastructure for research, information management, and innovation. Artificial intelligence (AI) capability is expanding at a rate incommensurate with the rate of adaptation of our IP and data infrastructure. Interest in productivity gains is now being replaced by actionable concern, manifesting in a variety of initiatives to address risks such as IP misuse, data-poisoning threats, and over-consolidation of AI capability. Resource-commons models have been proposed as a foundation for shared infrastructure, but implementation requires careful consideration of complex interconnections of incentives, rights, duties-of-care, and BOLTS (Business, Operations, Legal, Technical, Social) requirements. Proposed is the planning of a yearlong program to convene an interdisciplinary, multi-organization initiative to catalog resources, identify risks, opportunities, requirements, and remedies. As part of this initiative, participants would engage in a "ThreatCasting" exercise to explore and clarify what a functional future IP, data, and knowledge commons (and its absence) might look like. ThreatCasting methods will be adapted for “CommonsCasting”, focused on social systems and legal engineering for distributed governance schemes. Key deliverables include a new CVE resource, an opportunity catalog, a technical report, and creative outputs.
Inconsistency of Template Estimation with the Fr{é}chet mean in Quotient Space

description: We tackle the problem of template estimation when data have been randomly transformed under an isometric group action in the presence of noise. In order to estimate the template, one often minimizes the variance when the influence of the transformations have been removed (computation of the Fr{é}chet mean in quotient space). The consistency bias is defined as the distance (possibly zero) between the orbit of the template and the orbit of one element which minimizes the variance. In this article we establish an asymptotic behavior of the consistency bias with respect to the noise level. This behavior is linear with respect to the noise level. As a result the inconsistency is unavoidable as soon as the noise is large enough. In practice, the template estimation with a finite sample is often done with an algorithm called max-max. We show the convergence of this algorithm to an empirical Karcher mean. Finally, our numerical experiments show that the bias observed in practice cannot be attributed to the small sample size or to a convergence problem but is indeed due to the previously studied inconsistency.

Geralmente, este sintoma está acompanhado pela dor, incapacidade, sensação de cansaço, desânimo e até mesmo estágio depressivo. Contudo, os exercícios têm se mostrado bastante benéficos em pacientes com dor lombar crônica não específica, tendo influência no aspecto físico e emocional. O objetivo deste estudo foi revisar de forma sistemática o impacto dos exercícios na dor lombar crônica não específica. A pesquisa realizada foi de natureza básica, com abordagem quantitativa, apresentando fins de pesquisa exploratória e característica sistemática. Para compor este estudo vinte e sete estudos foram selecionados nas seguintes bases de dados: LILACS, SciELO, PEDro e PubMed. Os resultados obtidos na revisão foram de que os exercícios apresentaram melhora na dor, capacidade funcional, flexibilidade e até mesmo nas inquietações emocionais na dor lombar crônica não específica. Conclui-se que a aplicação de exercícios na dor lombar crônica não específica mostrou-se ser uma abordagem bastante relevante na melhora dos aspectos analisados, porém, ensaios clínicos randomizados controlados com boa qualidade metodológica são recomendados para melhor compreensão de seus efeitos, uma vez que houve literaturas contradizendo seus benefícios.

description: The participation of domestic contractors in the road construction industry has many impacts
 on the industry as well as in the economic development of the country. However, most of the
 projects are awarded for foreign contractors and the participation of domestic contractors in
 the road sector has much less than the foreigners. There are problems that contributing to this
 low participation of domestic contractors.As indicated by different writers, the problems emerge
 those related with the procurement process. Accordingly, this research attempts to assess the
 construction works procurement practices in federal road project and to investigate problems,
 impacts of construction works procurement practices toward the domestic contractors and
 finally to show directions in improving domestic contractors’ participation in federal road
 projects construction work. To achieve this objective, the research work had been developed
 through the literature review of different organizational report, questionnaire survey and case
 study. The outcome of these research shows that the procurement process has impact on the
 participation of domestic contractors in road projects. The impacts were identified and high
 Annual turnover requirement and performance requirement has been the main problem for low
 level participation of domestic contractors on tenders as it has the first rank among all with RII
 = 0.92 and 0.9 respectively. Also Past projects experience (RII=0.87) and cash flow requirement
 (RII=0.86) are identified as the most demanding problems to local contractors that impede their
 participation in road projects. Due to this problem, the domestic contractors are not capable to
 qualify technically due to Annual turnover requirement, past projects experience, cash flow
 requirement and performance requirement. Since they are not qualified for technical
 requirement they will not be able to participate financial requirement, this affects the
 contractors not to succeed on the tender. Simply stated, contractors go out of business because
 they run out of money. Finally, the study recommends for enhancing the development of
 Domestic contractors: by building Capacity of local contractors: Technology transfer through
 joint ventures. Also the Public Procurement and Property Administration Agency should be open
 to see and study the different alternative procurement methods applicable in the world which
 will be suitable for domestic contractors and reforming the contract documents of Government
 financed projects as required

The structure consists of three merging out-of-plane magnetization spin wave buses and four magneto-electric cells serving as three inputs and an output. The information of the logic signals is encoded in the phase of the transmitted spin waves and subsequently stored as direction of magnetization of the magneto-electric cells upon detection. The minimum dimensions of the structure that produce an operational majority gate are identified. For all input combinations, the detection scheme employed manages to capture the majority phase result of the spin wave interference and ignore all reflection effects induced by the geometry of the structure.

description: Creating a plan for digital infrastructure for research data involves several crucial steps to ensure the smooth transition and effective management of data for research institutions. This poster presents a structured workflow designed to enhance the security, accessibility, reproducibility, findability, interoperability, and reliability of research data, ultimately establishing a foundation of trust and transparency. By designing and implementing a structured workflow for transforming research data into a machine-actionable format using digital curation strategies, researchers can streamline data exchange processes while fulfilling ethical, legal and privacy-related obligations. In conclusion, with the implementation of an interdisciplinary workflow and the fostering of collaboration, research institutions can enhance the management of research data, promote reproducibility, and establish trust and transparency within the scientific community (Post et al. 2019). This structured approach emphasizes the importance of open dialogue, knowledge exchange, and continuous improvement in advancing research infrastructure and promoting effective data management practices at the Luxembourg Center for Contemporary and Digital History at the University of Luxembourg.

description: The distribution of waiting times between successive tunneling events is an already established method to characterize current fluctuations in mesoscopic systems. Here, I investigate mechanisms generating correlations between subsequent waiting times in two model systems, a pair of capacitively coupled quantum dots and a single-level dot attached to spin-polarized leads. Waiting time correlations are shown to give an insight into the internal dynamics of the system, for example they allow distinction between different mechanisms of the noise enhancement. Moreover, the presence of correlations breaks the validity of the renewal theory. This increases the number of independent cumulants of current fluctuation statistics, thus providing additional sources of information about the transport mechanism. I also propose a method for inferring the presence of waiting time correlations based on low-order current correlation functions. This method gives a way to extend the analysis of nonrenewal current fluctuations to the systems for which single-electron counting is not experimentally feasible. The experimental relevance of the findings is also discussed, for example reanalysis of previous results concerning transport in quantum dots is suggested.

description: Single-photon subtraction plays important roles in optical quantum information processing as it provides a non-Gaussian characteristic in continuous-variable quantum information. While the conventional way of implementing single-photon subtraction based on a low-reflectance beam splitter works properly for a single-mode quantum state, it is unsuitable for a multimode quantum state because a single photon is subtracted from all multiple modes without maintaining their mode coherence. Here we experimentally implement and characterize a mode-tunable coherent single-photon subtractor based on sum frequency generation. It can subtract a single photon exclusively from one desired time-frequency mode of light or from a coherent superposition of multiple time-frequency modes. To fully characterize the implemented single-photon subtractions, we employ quantum process tomography based on coherent states. The mode-tunable coherent single-photon subtractor will be an essential element for realizing non-Gaussian quantum networks necessary to get a quantum advantage in information processing.

An investigation into "region of origin" effect and consumer "regioncentrism" tendency in hybrid product quality evaluation and choice
Creators: name: Lee, Boon Jang

Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate consumer utilisation of extrinsic cue and intrinsic cues, on hybrid products from a sub-national level, particularly focused on the region of origin cue on consumers' product quality evaluation and product choice. The second purpose was to measure the extent of consumer regioncentric tendencies within the different regions in China. The third purpose was to examine consumer's ethnocentrism in relation to their product quality evaluation and product choice. -- Conjoint Analysis and Analysis of Variance methods were used to test the importance and the interaction effect of the extrinsic and intrinsic cues. Consumer Ethnocentric Tendency Scale (CETSCALE), adapted from Shimp and Sharma (1987), was used to measure consumer regioncentric tendencies. The Reliability Analysis and Principal Component Analysis were used to test the psychometric properties of the CETSCALE, and confirmatory factor analysis was used to verify the results from the psychometric property test. Finally, results from Utilities Estimate from the Conjoint Analysis were used to identify the relationships between consumer regioncentric tendencies, consumer product quality evaluation and product choice. Interviews and small-scale mall interceptions were performed at the pilot-study stage, prior to the main survey. Mall interception surveys using hybrid products, television (durables) and tea (non-durables), orthogonally designed full-scale conjoint cards and a 7-point Likert Scale questionnaires were conducted in Dalian, Suzhou and Guangzhou, China. -- It was found that the region of origin cue was one of the major attributes in consumer's product quality evaluation and product choice. Amongst the extrinsic cues, region of origin cues were rated second in level of importance, while brand name was the most important. Respondents from Suzhou portrayed the highest regioncentric tendencies, while those from Dalian and Guangzhou showed weaker regioncentric tendencies. Respondents with higher regioncentric tendencies would rate product from their own region of residence more favourably in term of product quality evaluation and product choice. -- Based on the findings, it is recommended that more effort should be given to the study of consumer buying behaviour from the sub-national regional perspective. Furthermore, foreign and domestic companies or marketers should develop a marketing strategy that uses the positive effect of a region of origin cue and consider the effect of regioncentrism in their product packaging, advertising message and promotional activities. Firms should take a market factor approach, where the region of origin may be one of the factors in deciding the location of the manufacturing bases.

description: The study on point sources in astronomical images is of special importance, since most energetic celestial objects in the Universe exhibit a point-like appearance. An approach to recognize the point sources (PS) in the X-ray astronomical images using our newly designed granular binary-tree support vector machine (GBT-SVM) classifier is proposed. First, all potential point sources are located by peak detection on the image. The image and spectral features of these potential point sources are then extracted. Finally, a classifier to recognize the true point sources is build through the extracted features. Experiments and applications of our approach on real X-ray astronomical images are demonstrated. comparisons between our approach and other SVM-based classifiers are also carried out by evaluating the precision and recall rates, which prove that our approach is better and achieves a higher accuracy of around 89%.

The Australian garden city: a planning history 1910-1930
Creators: name: Freestone, Robert

description: The garden city tradition in estate and metropolitan design derived its name from the garden cities advocated by Ebenezer Howard in To-Morrow (1898). A major force in the history of British planning, its influence was felt around the world. This thesis is the first overview of Australian theory and practice, focusing on the period between 1910 and 1930. Five basic tasks are attempted: an outline of the original garden city idea; an examination of the general ideology and organization of the garden city movement; clarification of the international context; specification of the general character and distinctiveness of garden city advocacy in Australia; and a systematic record of actual projects. -- The discussion indicates that the nature of the Australian response reflected the interaction of imported ideas with local circumstances. As in other countries, Howard's 'peaceful path' to 'a better a brighter civilization' was not fully followed. Instead, the garden city assumed three main guises. First, it functioned as an inspirational environmental ideal. Second, it brought together concrete principles for improved lay out that were advocated for and implemented in three different settings: special purpose 'garden towns'; 'tied' housing estates for industrial employees; and residential suburbs and subdivisions. These 'garden suburbs' dominated the local scene but, as with the other developments, translation of the ideal into reality was imperfect, being deleteriously affected by financial, political, and administrative factors in particular. Third, and at a larger scale, the garden city helped to introduce certain tentative ideas regarding the desirable size, shape and structure of the metropolis. -- The approach adopted is basically empirical, with the most important source material being the contemporary Australian planning literature. The structure is best described as 'stratified chronology'. The analytical framework combines three main approaches to planning historiography: the societal (setting planning events and developments in their broadest economic, political, cultural, and institutional context), the biographical (emphasizing the important role of individuals in the importation, diffusion and implementation of garden city thought), and the morphological (a spatial emphasis involving an inventory of landscape impacts). The major theme permeating the thesis is that of the 'diluted legacy': the drift in the garden city tradition away from Howard's holistic, radical manifesto through liberal environmental reforms to actual schemes which compromised or even totally contradicted the original idea in physical, economic and social terms. The extension and conceptualization of this idea provides one of several important areas for future research highlighted by the thesis.

description: We use the concept of 2-absorbing ideal introduced by Badawi to study those commutative rings in which every proper ideal is a product of 2-absorbing ideals (we call them TAF-rings). Any TAF-ring has dimension at most one and the local TAF-domains are the atomic pseudo-valuation domains.
