A muSR study of the interactions between muoniated radicals and metallic nanoparticles in mesoporous silica hosts
Creators: name: Xiao, Jiyu
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Transverse field (TF-muSR) and Avoided level crossing resonance (ALCR) techniques have been used in this very first investigation on the structure and dynamics of the Mu-cyclohexadienyl (MuC₆H₆) radical interacting with Au and Pt metal nanoparticles supported in mesoporous silica (SBA-15), providing novel information about the interactions of radicals with silica environments. Two different loadings of benzene were investigated by the TF-μSR and its companion Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) technique, revealing that the observed radicals are shielded from the metallic nanoparticle surfaces probably by a layer of benzene coating. At lower loading, the adsorption of benzene on nanoparticles increases the opportunity of an encounter between the muonium and benzene near the NP surface. The ALCR Δ₁ resonance arising from hyperfine anisotropy is observable in MNP-loaded samples up to 418 K but not in the unloaded SBA-15, while towards lower temperature it is the Δ₀ resonance mainly from isotropic hyperfine interactions that is observed in the small gold nanoparticle loaded SBA-15 sample. Such an difference is attributed to the stronger binding of MuC₆H₆ to the benzene coated MNPs than silica nanopore surfaces, so it is less perturbed by the surrounding atoms. Different dynamic behaviors have been seen in MCM-41 silica host compared to SBA-15, which is thought due to the agglomeration of benzene in the smaller pore sizes. In fact, the dynamics in this case are more like that seen for small Au NP-loaded SBA-15, giving an environment closer to that of liquid benzene due to this agglomeration. Disappointingly, the isotropic hyperfine coupling constants, determined from the positions of the Δ₀ and Δ₁ resonances, are almost the same in the MNP-loaded and unloaded samples, implying that the electronic structure of MuC₆H₆ is only weakly perturbed by the presence of the MNPs from an indirect interaction between MuC₆H₆ and the MNP. The only information on a direct interaction comes from the temperature-dependent longitudinal field T₁ relaxation rates at a monolayer benzene loading, giving also a clear direction for relevant future studies.

description: L’obiettivo di questo articolo é confrontare due strategie comunicative – e, in termini più generali, politiche – diverse applicate contro il terrorismo: da un lato la politica di Bettino Craxi – segretario del Psi dal 1976 al 1992 e Presidente del Consiglio italiano dal 1983 al 1987 – contro le Brigate Rosse e, dall’altro, la strategia che usò Felipe González – segretario generale del Psoe dall’ottobre del 1974 fino al 1996 e Presidente del Governo dal 1982 fino al 1996 – nella sua lotta contro il terrorismo basco di Eta. I due terrorismi – come puntualizzeremo – sono radicalmente distinti, ma qui ci focalizzeremo solo sulle strategie utilizzate per affrontarli e sconfiggerli. Le due strategie risultano altrettanto radicalmente distinte, anche se i due leader qui presi in considerazione partivano da una ideologia comune. Sotto il profilo metodologico, verranno utilizzate testimonianze e stralci di discorsi, che saranno funzionali a organizzare una narrazione che metterà in risalto le differenze. Il registro descrittivo risulterà utile proprio al raggiungimento di tale obiettivo, nell’ambito di un approccio sociologico al fenomeno attraverso la prospettiva storico-sociale.

description: Some nonlinear codes, such as Kerdock and Preparata codes, can be represented as binary images under the Gray map of linear codes over rings. This paper introduces MAP decoding of Kerdock and Preparata codes by working with their quaternary representation (linear codes over Z4 ) with the complexity of O(N2log2N), where N is the code length in Z4. A sub-optimal bitwise APP decoder with good error-correcting performance and complexity of O(Nlog2N) that is constructed using the decoder lifting technique is also introduced. This APP decoder extends upon the original lifting decoder by working with likelihoods instead of hard decisions and is not limited to Kerdock and Preparata code families. Simulations show that our novel decoders significantly outperform several popular decoders in terms of error rate.

description: The focus of this work is to develop machine learning systems capable of tissue image analysis in the context of cancer diagnosis and prognosis. Such a system can not only identify new prognostic markers, but can also serve as a standalone clinical prediction rule, the premise being that its non-linear, multivariate nature may be capable of identifying and employing complex patterns that collectively provide accurate cancer diagnosis and prognosis, better than the clinical gold standard. The task, however, is very challenging because of the extremely high resolution of the images, highly heterogeneous microenvironment, multiple sources of noise and artifacts, and low-granularity of ground truth. A starting point of related work which tackles the same task is the extraction of handcrafted features. I investigate the application of machine learning for prognosis using handcrafted features, and develop prognostic machine learning models that demonstrate better performances than baselines based on clinically employed prognostic systems, in two separate cohorts of colorectal and muscle-invasive bladder cancer patients. Moreover, analysis of the proposed methods provides insight behind the prognostic nature of characteristics within the microenvironment, not yet included in the clinical systems. The emergence of deep learning has enabled analysis with images directly. Given the laborious, expensive, and human bias inducing nature of designing and building pipelines for handcrafted feature extraction, I investigate the application of deep learning on tissue images directly. In particular, I propose a framework that allows the training of models directly from exhaustively-tiled whole slide images with only patient-level ground truth, and demonstrate its effectiveness on colorectal cancer prognosis. In my final work, I introduce a new type of CNN-based method, called Magnifying Networks, for gigapixel image analysis that does not require whole slide images to be patch-based preprocessed. Instead, MagNets dynamically extract patches from the tissue image based on the best magnification level, field-of-view, and location according to an optimizing task, and not based on generic, predefined or static ways. My results on the publicly available Camelyon16 and Camelyon17 datasets demonstrate the effectiveness of MagNets, as well as the proposed optimization framework, on the task of whole slide image classification. MagNets process far fewer patches from each slide than any of the existing end-to-end approaches (10 to 300 times fewer).

description: Con il contributo degli studenti di Scienze Storiche si è, anzitutto, inteso
indicare una metodologia di indagine storica che, condotta direttamente sopra un corpus documentario d’enorme rilievo per l’intero Mezzogiorno d’Italia, risulta efficace strumento di ricerca per ricostruire, in senso ampio, tutte le realtà territoriali (giustizierati provinciali, diocesi e comunità urbane) che composero il Regnum Siciliae in età angioina. Fonte primaria, infatti, è costituita dai Registri della Cancelleria Angioina, nel tempo oggetto di una serie di devastazioni, culminate con la quasi totale distruzione durante l’ultimo conflitto mondiale, ma parzialmente
tramandati nel corso dei secoli ad opera di diversi storici, archivisti, genealogisti e, a partire dal 1950, raccolti e pubblicati da Riccardo Filangieri e dagli “Archivisti Napoletani” per l’Accademia Pontaniana. Sono giunti fino a noi incompleti e in attesa di essere ulteriormente indagati, ma si mostrano fondamentali per la ricostruzione delle strutture politiche ed economiche, come pure dei complessi schemi e meccanismi della società siciliana. In definitiva, partendo da questo importante fondo documentario e da altre testimonianze, si è voluto delineare un quadro dell’organizzazione politica, sociale ed economica del giustizierato lucano, alla luce degli stretti intrecci di famiglie mercantili ed imprenditoriali che, soprattutto durante il regno di Carlo d’Angiò, legarono ogni giustizierato a tutti gli altri, entro uno schema pertanto leggibile in senso complessivo ed unitario.

description: Il contributo affronta nella prima parte la figura di San Nicola, personaggio dalle molteplici sfaccettature, nel quale si fondono caratteri cristiani, pagani e infine americani, durante un viaggio transnazionale della durata di quasi due millenni. Alla figura del santo si lega successivamente una analisi dei cicli del tempo nelle società agrarie e degli incontri/scontri tra tradizioni pre-cristiane e società moderne cristianizzate. Viene infine dedicato spazio a un rito in onore di San Nicola celebrato a Gualtieri Sicaminò, paese in cui è stata condotta una ricerca etnografica, al fine di studiare sul campo non solo i caratteri devozionali del culto al santo ma anche le politiche che stanno dietro all’organizzazione della festa e i rapporti tra Comitato di organizzazione, Amministrazione comunale, abitanti, confraternite e istituzioni religiose.

Il Medioevo tra mito e realtà

Publisher: name: Humanities

description: Prendendo in considerazione le diverse fasi della storia dell’uomo risulta evidente che ogni periodo ha avuto via via una connotazione talvolta positiva talvolta negativa. A tal proposito, è giusto puntualizzare che tra tutti i periodi storici, quello che ha subito una maggiore mitizzazione e deformazione prospettica, in senso fortemente negativo, è indubbiamente l’epoca medievale.
L’idea generale che si ha del Medioevo è quella di un lungo periodo di riempimento della storia, compreso tra la caduta dell’Impero Romano d’Occidente (476 dc) e l’età dell’Umanesimo e del Rinascimento (XIV sec.). Già l’idea stessa del Medioevo come “periodo intermedio”, quindi mobile, confuso e caotico è da considerarsi sbagliata. In effetti, nel corso della storia è impossibile distinguere fasi di movimento e trasformazione, da fasi di pura immobilità. Proprio per questa sua collocazione tra due epoche che, alla luce delle fonti forniteci degli intellettuali dall’epoca moderna in poi, potremmo definire “positivi”, si tende a conferire al Medioevo una condizione di negatività che lo accosta in maniera spontanea al concetto ormai consolidato dei “secoli bui”

description: Optimization of the business entities interaction with foreign partners when entering new foreign markets is the key to the successful development of their foreign economic activity and provides the enterprises with additional benefits from expansion of the spheres of activity and potential markets. Game theory is an effective tool for modeling interaction scenarios between enterprises and their potential partners, based on the consent or refusal of each partner to cooperate. The approach proposed in this article allows optimizing interaction processes by compensating losses to economic entities and maximizing the benefit as a result of a non-cooperative game use while simulating their interaction scenarios.

description: Digital health, including telemedicine, has increased access to abortion care. The convenience, flexibility of appointment times, and ensured privacy to abortion users may make abortion services via telemedicine preferable. This scoping review systematically mapped studies conducted on abortion services via telemedicine, including their effectiveness and acceptability for abortion users and providers. All published papers included abortion services via telemedicine in the United States were considered. Articles were searched in PubMed, CINAHL, and Google Scholar databases in September 2022. The findings were synthesized narratively, and the PRISMA-ScR guidelines were used to report this study. Out of 757 retrieved articles, 33 articles were selected based on the inclusion criteria. These studies were published between 2011 and 2022, with 24 published in the last 3 years. The study found that telemedicine increased access to abortion care in the United States, especially for people in remote areas or those worried about stigma from in-person visits. The effectiveness of abortion services via telemedicine was comparable to in-clinic visits, with 6% or fewer abortions requiring surgical intervention. Both care providers and abortion seekers expressed positive perceptions of telemedicine-based abortion services. However, abortion users reported mixed emotions, with some preferring in-person visits. The most common reasons for choosing telemedicine included the distance to the abortion clinic, convenience, privacy, cost, flexibility of appointment times, and state laws imposing waiting periods or restrictive policies. Telemedicine offered a preferable option for abortion seekers and providers. The feasibility of accessing abortion services via telemedicine in low-resource settings needs further investigation.

description: This thesis describes the design, fabrication and experimentally obtained electro-acoustic response of an acoustic transducer suite constructed for use in the Wave Propagation Laboratory (WaveLab) at ETH Zürich. Wave-Lab aims to immerse a physical acoustic experiment within a real-time virtual numerical environment by implementing immersive boundary conditions (IBCs)[1, 2]. When scale-model ultrasonic experimentation is not possible, a system with IBCs allows for low frequency, reflection-free acoustic measurements in a small physical domain. Additionally, the WaveLab IBCs are implemented to simulate interactions with virtual scatterers and media with arbitrary physics of wave propagation. The physical experiment of the WaveLab facility consists of a water tank measuring only 2 m on a side. The IBCs are realized through a massive computational engine coupled with a dense array of sensing and emitting acoustic transducers, which are used to sense and inject intricate wavefields at hundreds of locations inside the physical experiment. Criteria for the transducers are discussed in terms of individual and overall system response. The design parameters and associated models include sensitivity, scattering strength, directivity, frequency response, noise floor, and the dynamic range of the system. The transducer designs and models are presented alongside their physical prototypes and experimental results

From the legalization of politics, to the politics of the archive : examining some of the political effects of Canada’s constitutional patriation on Aboriginal peoples
Creators: name: Desjardins, Patrick
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: This thesis examines some of the effects Canada’s constitutional patriation has had on Aboriginal peoples. In particular, it focuses on the way in which the politics of the archive has mediated the relationship between Aboriginal peoples and the Canadian state since 1982. To this end, while many studies of Canada’s post-1982 political constellation have noted an increasing ‘legalization’ of politics since the adoption of the Constitution Act, 1982, few have studied what legalization’s increasing reliance on archives means for mediating the resulting political relationships. By politics of the archive then, the thesis identifies the Canadian state’s attempt to structure political authority around the presence—or lack—of archival materials and documents. This ‘will to archive’ is identified as operating according to a distinct set of limitations however. Focusing on how these limitations are used, mobilized and exacerbated by the Canadian state reveals the extent to which Canada’s constitutional patriation has favoured the reinforcement of the state’s archival authority in relation to Aboriginal peoples’ claims. Through the use of Social Capital theory the latter portion of the thesis offers a critique of this tendency and ultimately concludes that a renewal of the relationship between Aboriginal peoples and the Canadian state will likely require the development of post-adversarial forms of justice, less structurally dependent on the presence of archives to determine the nature and scope of Aboriginal peoples’ rights to self-determination.

description: In the university, course scheduling and preparation for each semester can be defined as the process of determining what courses to offer, the number of sections needed for each course, assigning of a faculty member to teach each section, and allocating a timeslot and a classroom for each section to avoid clashes. The output of this activity (which is a timetable) affects every faculty member and student in various departments. This process is essentially broken down into three main stages: determining the courses to be offered as well as their section numbers, assigning faculty members to different sections, and scheduling of the sections into timeslots and classrooms.
This paper investigates each of these steps and congregates them in a scheduling and Decision Support System (DSS). The DSS is used to make easy the process of course offerings by taking into consideration the students’ suggestions because the department resources are limited. The faculty member preferences are also considered in the assignment of sections for the sake of lessening disappointments in the department. Also, the couples (faculty, section) are planned into university timeslots based on faculty member preferences. Our proposed system considers student suggestions and preferences and the time availability of a faculty member since it minimizes disappointments and avoids conflicts between faculty members and classrooms and courses.

Advancing population and public health ethics regarding HIV testing among young men
Creators: name: Knight, Rodney Eric
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: Background: Despite the epidemiological and clinical rationale supporting a shift from voluntary approaches to HIV testing (e.g., in which a patient seeks an HIV test) towards the expansion of more routine approaches (e.g., in which a clinician routinely offers patients testing), a set of rather polarized ethical debates has remained somewhat unresolved. And, within these discussions, considerations of young men’s experiences and health care needs have remained conspicuously absent. Objectives: This dissertation aims to: (1) Systematically investigate the status of ethical debate and discussions within the peer-reviewed literature in the realm of voluntary and routine HIV testing, with a particular emphasis on understanding the structural and agentic factors associated with testing experiences (e.g., HIV-related stigma); (2) Examine and identify the social processes associated with voluntary and routine testing that attenuate or exacerbate HIV-related stigma among young men; and (3) Describe how ‘public’ values (e.g., solidarity; reciprocity; health equity) may influence the ‘autonomous’ decisions and/or HIV testing practices of young men. Results: The findings highlight a set of social processes that can provide transformative opportunities for young men to reconceptualise expectations pertaining to HIV and HIV-related stigma within routine testing practices. These findings also distil the extent to which young men ‘take up’ relational values (e.g., solidarity; reciprocity), as well as individual reasons (e.g., obligations to the Self) in their HIV testing practices. Discussion: Empirical-normative approaches to advancing population and public health ethics regarding HIV testing may be most usefully pursued as an iterative project (rather than as a linear project), in which the normative informs the empirical questions to be asked and new empirical evidence constantly directs conceptualizations of what constitutes morally robust public health practices. This dissertation provides a set of methodological considerations regarding research techniques that may be useful in advancing future empirical-normative inquiry regarding HIV-related population health interventions.

description: Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication is expected to accomplish a long-standing goal of the Connected and Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) community to bring connected vehicles to roads on a large scale. A major challenge, and perhaps the biggest hurdle on the path towards this goal is the scalability issues associated with it, especially when vehicular safety is concerned. As a major stakeholder, 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) based Cellular V2X (C-V2X) community has long been trying to research on whether vehicular networks are able to support the safety-critical applications in high-density vehicular scenarios. This paper attempts to answer this by first presenting an overview on the scalability challenges faced by 3GPP Release 14 Long Term Evolution C-V2X (LTE-V2X) using the PC5 sidelink interface for low and heavy-density traffic scenarios. Next, it demonstrates a series of solutions that address network congestion, packet losses and other scalability issues associated with LTE-V2X to enable this communication technology for commercial deployment. In addition, a brief survey is provided into 3GPP Release 16 5G New Radio V2X (NR-V2X) that utilizes the NR sidelink interface and works as an evolution of C-V2X towards better performance for V2X communications including new enhanced V2X (eV2X) scenarios that possess ultra-low-latency and high-reliability requirements.

Investigating the North American Crepis (Asteraceae) agamic complex for evidence of homoploid hybridization
Creators: name: McGrath, Kathleen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: Despite the classic place that the North American Crepis (Asteraceae) agamic complex holds in evolutionary literature, few of the hypotheses about the group presented by Babcock and Stebbins 1938 monograph have been tested. In particular, they hypothesized that the seven sexual diploids had strong interfertility barriers that prevented the formation of diploid hybrids. Here I present an analysis of two previously unrecognized diploid morphotypes, which belong to an unresolved clade with Crepis pleurocarpa and Crepis occidentalis based on plastid DNA variation. Morphological traits suggest that both morphotypes may be the product of diploid x diploid hybridization. I gathered nuclear SNP markers using genotyping by sequencing to assess the origins of these two lineages. I constructed a de novo assembly of the nuclear genome of Crepis monticola to serve as a reference for SNP discovery. Analysis of contig length,number, and coverage indicate that the nuclear genome of Crepis is highly repetitive and shares features in common with other plant genomes that make angiosperm genomes challenging to work with. This complexity, as well as technical challenges likely due to partial enzymatic digestion of genomic DNA during GBS library preparation, resulted in only 19 SNPs passing the quality filters. Nonetheless, these 19 markers were used to provide a preliminary assessment of the origins of novel morphotypes. A signal of mixed ancestry was found for one of these morphotypes with the majority of their genome being distinct from both C. occidentalis subsp. occidentalis and C. pleurocarpa. The second morphotype is of non-mixed ancestry most closely resembling Crepis occidentalis. In a separate study, I provide a draft assembly of the Crepis monticola chloroplast genome. I show that gene order and content are unchanged from other members of Asteraceae with the exception of the rpl16 gene, which retains an intron that is reported as lost multiple times in Asteraceae. Results of a preliminary data analysis detailing the presence or absence of the first exon of rpl16 in published Asteraceae plastome sequences indicates that most of these supposed losses are errors, pointing to the need for careful examination of plastome assemblies gathered from databases.
Adaptability of Computer Vision at the Tactical Edge: Addressing Environmental Uncertainty
Creators: name: Moore, Hayden

Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)

description: Computer Vision (CV) systems are increasingly being adopted into Command and Control (C2) systems to improve intelligence analysis on the battlefield, the tactical edge. CV systems leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms to help visualize and interpret the environment, enhancing situational awareness. However, the adaptability of CV systems at the tactical edge remains challenging due to rapidly changing environments and objects which can confuse the deployed models. A CV model leveraged in this environment can become uncertain in its predictions, as the environment and the objects existing in the environment begin to change. Additionally, mission objectives can rapidly change leading to adjustments in technology, camera angles, and image resolutions. All of which can negatively affect the performance of and potentially introduce uncertainty into the system. When the training environment and/or technology differs from the deployment environment, CV models can perform unexpectedly. Unfortunately, most scenarios at the tactical edge do not incorporate Uncertainty Quantification (UQ) into their deployed C2 and CV systems. This concept paper explores the idea of synchronizing robust data operations and model fine-tuning driven by UQ all at the tactical edge. Specifically, curating datasets and training child models based on the residuals of predictions, using these child models to calculate prediction intervals (PI), and then using these PI to calibrate the deployed models. By incorporating UQ into the core operations surrounding C2 and CV systems at the tactical edge, we can help drive purposeful adaptability on the battlefield.

„Dopóki nie wspomina się o Odmieńcach, wszyscy są szczęśliwi”. Obrazy (non)konformizmu w literackich dystopiach
Creators: name: Gromysz, Jowita
Publisher: name: Instytut Pedagogiki Uniwersytetu Wrocławskiego
Year: 2023

description: W artykule poruszam problem (non)konformizmu pojawiający się w powieściach dystopijnych adresowanych do młodych dorosłych. Takie narracje reprezentują społeczne postrzeganie wizji przyszłości. Ostrzegają nas przed ideami, polityką, która prowadzi do autorytaryzmu, despotyzmu, totalitaryzmu. Edukacyjna wartość literackich dystopii polega na tym, że poprzez literaturę popularną odbiorca poznaje losy jednostek, a w konsekwencji dowiaduje się, jak można się zachować, gdy zapanuje terror, kontrola, strach. Obranie drogi nonkonformizmu oznacza bunt, prowadzi jednak do obalenia dystopii i wprowadzenia nowego (lepszego?) ładu.
description: In the article I am writing about young adult dystopias. Such narratives represent social perceptions of visions of the future. Possible worlds that have taken the form of a dystopia are based on knowledge of the past. They warn us against ideas, policies that lead to authoritarianism, despotism, totalitarianism. The educational value of dystopia lies in the fact that through popular literature it shows the fate of individuals as well as tells what can happen to them when terror, control, fear reigns. I analyze texts and use two terms: conformism and nonconformity. These attitudes are always present in literary dystopias. They are opposed to each other so that the young know what (together with the protagonist) to choose.

description: One of the priorities in the European Higher Education area is the task of attracting young people wishing to engage in science and development of their creative potential. The aim is to promote the interest of children, young people and the public in researches and their application in business. Essential for young people's success are their critical thinking skills, knowledge application and problem-solving skills, as well as assessment skills. The article proposes a methodology for assessment of higher order thinking skills based on Bloom’s Taxonomy. It provides a mechanism for systematic assessment of diverse skills from different levels of Bloom's cognitive domain. It is suitable for training students who have ambitions to become highly qualified specialists - scholars, medics, pedagogues, economists, legal practitioners, criminologists, etc.

description: The article aims at the training of General Economic Theory teachers in Slovakia. It also deals with the ENTAGLE project which we are trying to analyse. The project is built on the relationship of vocational education students towards enterprising. The project itself should involve teachers of vocational subjects in terms of teaching about entrepreneurship opportunities in the EU. It is an international project including other countries except Slovakia: Lithuania, Spain, the Netherlands, Great Britain and Cyprus. There is described the educational system of Slovakia and the position of GET teachers in preparation. Similarly, it deals with the issue of GET teacher’s training. There is also description of Complementary pedagogical studies besides proper GET teacher education. We are trying to uncover the common problems of young people unemployment in the EU countries as well as to outline possible solutions in terms of support for education in the given context, with an impact on the increase of entrepreneurial competencies. Since the implementation of the project, teachers are expected to acquire competences that will lead them to meaningful GET teaching towards the future realization of graduates in business. The paper is complemented with the results of qualitative research that was trying to monitor the situation of entrepreneurship practices and entrepreneurial teaching in partner countries.
