description: A digital twin is an enabling technology that facilitates monitoring, understanding, and providing continuous feedback to improve quality of life and well-being. Thus, a digital twin can consider a solution to enhance one's mood to improve the quality of life and emotional well-being. However, there remains a long road ahead until we reach digital twin systems that are capable of empowering development and the deployment of digital twins. This is because there are so many elements and components that can guide the design of a digital twin. This thesis provides a general discussion for the central element of an emotional digital twin, including emotion detection, emotional biofeedback, and emotion-aware recommender systems. In the first part of this thesis, we propose and study the emotion detection models and algorithms. For emotions, which are known to be highly user dependent, improvements to the emotion learning algorithm can significantly boost its predictive power. We aimed to improve the accuracy of the classifier using peripheral physiological signals. Here, we present a hybrid sensor fusion approach based on a stacking model that allows for data from multiple sensors and emotion models to be jointly embedded within a user-independent model. In the second part of this thesis, we propose a real-time mobile biofeedback system that uses wearable sensors to depict five basic emotions and provides the user with emotional feedback. These systems apply the concept of Live Biofeedback through the introduction of an emotion-aware digital twin. An essential element in these systems guides users through an emotion-regulation routine. The proposed systems are aimed at increasing self-awareness by using visual feedback and provide insight into the future design of digital twins. We focus on workplace environments, and the recommendations are based on human emotions and the regulation of emotion in the construct of emotional intelligence. The objective is to suggest coping techniques to a user during an emotional, stressful episode based on her or his preferences, history of what worked well and appropriateness for the context. The developed solution has been studied based on usability studies and extensively compared to related works. The obtained results show the potentials use as an emotional digital twin. In turn, the proposed solution has been providing significant insights that will guide future developments of digital twins using several scenarios and settings.

description: Exoplanets with radii between those of Earth and Neptune have stronger surface gravity than Earth, and can retain a sizable hydrogen-dominated atmosphere. In contrast to gas giant planets, we call these planets gas dwarf planets. The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will offer unprecedented insight into these planets. Here, we investigate the detectability of ammonia (NH$_{3}$, a potential biosignature) in the atmospheres of seven temperate gas dwarf planets using various JWST instruments. We use petitRadTRANS and PandExo to model planet atmospheres and simulate JWST observations under different scenarios by varying cloud conditions, mean molecular weights (MMWs), and NH$_{3}$ mixing ratios. A metric is defined to quantify detection significance and provide a ranked list for JWST observations in search of biosignatures in gas dwarf planets. It is very challenging to search for the 10.3--10.8 $μ$m NH$_{3}$ feature using eclipse spectroscopy with MIRI in the presence of photon and a systemic noise floor of 12.6 ppm for 10 eclipses. NIRISS, NIRSpec, and MIRI are feasible for transmission spectroscopy to detect NH$_{3}$ features from 1.5 $μ$m to 6.1 $μ$m under optimal conditions such as a clear atmosphere and low MMWs for a number of gas dwarf planets. We provide examples of retrieval analyses to further support the detection metric that we use. Our study shows that searching for potential biosignatures such as NH$_{3}$ is feasible with a reasonable investment of JWST time for gas dwarf planets given optimal atmospheric conditions.

description: Unipolar induction (UI) is a fundamental physical process, which occurs when a conducting body transverses a magnetic field. It has been suggested that UI is operating in RX J0806+15 and RX J1914+24, which are believed to be ultra-compact binaries with orbital periods of 5.4 min and 9.6 min respectively. The UI model predicts that those two sources may be electron cyclotron maser sources at radio wavelengths. Other systems in which UI has been predicted to occur are short period extra-solar terrestrial planets with conducting cores. If UI is present, circularly polarised radio emission is predicted to be emitted. We have searched for this predicted radio emission from short period binaries using the VLA and ATCA. In one epoch we find evidence for a radio source, coincident in position with the optical position of RX J0806+15. Although we cannot completely exclude that this is a chance alignment between the position of RX J0806+15 and an artifact in the data reduction process, the fact that it was detected at a significance level of 5.8 sigma and found to be transient, suggests that it is more likely that RX J0806+15 is a transient radio source. We find an upper limit on the degree of circular polarisation to be ~50%. The inferred brightness temperature exceeds 10^18 K, which is too high for any known incoherent process, but is consistent with maser emission and UI being the driving mechanism. We did not detect radio emission from ES Cet, RX J1914+24 or Gliese 876.

description: Wildfire smoke has a significant detrimental effect on global wine and grape industries. Described here are the experimental approach to vineyard smoke application and aroma
description: compound liberation during several points of the winemaking process. Over the last couple decades of smoke research, the industry has determined the sensorial role of smoke-derived volatile phenols on undesirable characteristics in wines. During smoke exposure, the grapevine stores these compounds predominantly as glycosides in both the leaf and the berry. Some of these sugar-bound compounds are released enzymatically during fermentation. Compounds such as smoke-derived thiols and thiophenols also contribute to smoky and ashy aromas and aftertastes in smoke-affected wines. The capacity for yeast to act upon the release of both volatile phenols and thiophenols was evaluated herein. This study found that yeast had no significant impact on the post-fermentation concentrations of volatile phenols. Thioanisole and thiophenol were confirmed to be higher in smoke-affected wines and yeast may have an impact on the release of several other thiophenol compounds.
description: The increase of free smoke-related volatile compounds can also be observed during aging of both control and smoke-affected wines. Compound evolution due to aging can be accelerated using elevated temperatures. A method for accelerated smoke-affected wine aging was evaluated by comparing 35ºC and cellar temperature, 13ºC, in the concentrations of smoke-derived volatile phenols. This study determined that cellar temperatures inhibited the further release of guaiacol over 18 months in smoke-affected wines. At elevated temperatures, however, the increase in guaiacol occurred at the same rate in both smoke-affected and non-smoke-affected wines, providing evidence of secondary sources of artifactual guaiacol. Potential future studies are also described for the further evaluation of smoke-derived compound release.

description: © 2014, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. We consider the analogue of Hurwitz curves, smooth projective curves (Formula Presented) of genus (Formula Presented) that realize equality in the Hurwitz bound (Formula Presented), to smooth compact quotients (Formula Presented) of the unit ball in (Formula Presented). When (Formula Presented) is arithmetic, we show that (Formula Presented), where (Formula Presented) is the (topological) Euler characteristic, and in the case of equality show that (Formula Presented) is a regular cover of a particular Deligne–Mostow orbifold. We conjecture that this inequality holds independent of arithmeticity, and note that work of Xiao makes progress on this conjecture and implies the best-known lower bound for the volume of a complex hyperbolic (Formula Presented)-orbifold.

description: Hadron production in proton-nucleus (pA) collisions was previously shown to be suppressed by medium-induced fully coherent energy loss (FCEL). We show that the quenching of $D$ and $B$ mesons in pPb collisions at the LHC due solely to FCEL is, at least, on par with other nuclear effects such as gluon shadowing or saturation. This is consistent with previous findings for both quarkonium and light hadron production in pA collisions, emphasising that FCEL effects need to be included for a reliable understanding of hadron production measurements in pA collisions.

title: A CRITICAL REVIEW OF CHANGE MANAGEMENT AND TECHNOLOGY ADOPTION FACTORS TO DRIVE ORGANISATIONAL PERFORMANCE: A STUDY OF THE ABU DHABI NATIONAL OIL COMPANY (ADNOC)
Creators: name: Alkhoori, I
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2022

description: The study of technology-based change and innovation is receiving much attention from academics and practitioners as change/innovation plays a vital role in organisations’ growth success and improved performance. Despite the potential benefits associated with new technologies, employees and organisations are generally reluctant to adopt them. In response to this issue, this study aims to enhance the general understanding concerning the factors that affect employees’ adoption of technology in a Middle Eastern country (UAE), where the results can also be applied to other Arab countries in the region. In spite of the recent progress in understanding how radio frequency identification (RFID) systems can substantially advance logistics and other services within the oil and gas sector, there is a significant gap in the literature concerning determinants of RFID application in managing various forms of operations. Hence, this study attempts to fill this gap by examining the key enablers and impediments of adopting RFID systems in the UAE oil and gas sector using the technology, organisation and environment framework (TOE). The purpose of this research is to refine and expand technology adoption theory for the oil and gas sector by testing the technology–organisation–environment framework in the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) UAE. The research work identifies and ranks factors impacting employees’ decision to implement RFID in ADNOC UAE. A theoretical model was developed using a variety of TOE factors that may enable or impede RFID adoption in managing operations within the oil and gas sector. Then, the model was empirically tested by means of Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) based on survey data of 301 online questionnaire responses that were collected from managers, technicians, physicians and general employees working in ADNOC UAE. Results showed that Technology Competence, Top Management, Competitive Pressure, Firm’s Size and Government Regulations showed significant and positive relationship with employees’ intention to adopt RFID. However, perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use and perceived financial cost were found to have no significant effect on employees’ willingness to adopt RFID. The study contributes to the empirical research within the field of RFID and technology adoption in the UAE oil and gas sector. Furthermore, the findings of this study enable managers to make an informed decision about technology adoption within the oil and gas logistics setting.

Stationary Strings in the Spacetime of Rotating Black Holes in Five-Dimensional Minimal Gauged Supergravity

description: We examine the separability properties of the equation of motion for a stationary string near a rotating charged black hole with two independent angular momenta in five-dimensional minimal gauged supergravity. It is known that the separability problem for the stationary string in a general stationary spacetime is reduced to that for the usual Hamilton-Jacobi equation for geodesics of its quotient space with one dimension fewer. Using this fact, we show that the "effective metric" of the quotient space does not allow the complete separability for the Hamilton-Jacobi equation, albeit such a separability occurs in the original spacetime of the black hole. We also show that only for two special cases of interest the Hamilton-Jacobi equation admits the complete separation of variables and therefore the integrability for the stationary string motion in the original background: namely, when the black hole has zero electric charge or it has an arbitrary electric charge, but two equal angular momenta. We give the explicit expressions for the Killing tensors corresponding to these cases. However, for the general black hole spacetime the effective metric of the quotient space admits a conformal Killing tensor. We construct the explicit expression for this tensor.

Future prospects of di-jet production constraining Dg(x) at low x at STAR at RHIC

description: © Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial Share like Licence. One of the main objectives of the high-energy spin physics program at RHIC at BNL is the precis determination of the polarized gluon distribution function, δg(x). Polarized p+p collision at ps = 200GeV and at √ = 500GeV at RHIC provide an unique way to probe the proton spi structure. Inclusive measurements, such as inclusive jet and hadron production, have so far bee the prime focus of various results at radic; = 200GeV constraining δg(x) for 0:05 < x < 0:2. A recen global analysis provides for the first time evidence of a non-zero value of the gluon polarizatio 10:05 δg(x)dx (Q2 =10GeV2)=0:20+0:006+0.07 First results of di-jet production at ps=200Ge by the STAR collaboration will allow a better constraint of the underlying event kinematics. Extendin the current program to smaller values of x is a key goal for the future high-energy spi physics program at RHIC.

description: Volatile elements and compounds found in extra-terrestrial environments are often the target of In Situ Resource Utilization (ISRU) studies. Although water and hydroxide are most commonly the focus of these studies as they can be used for propellant and human consumption; we instead focus on the possible exploitation of sulfur and how it could be utilized to produce building materials on the Moon, Mars and Asteroids. We describe the physical and chemical pathways for extracting sulfur from native sulfide minerals, manufacturing sulfuric acid in situ, and using the produced acid to dissolve native silicate minerals. The final products of this process, which we call the Silicate-Sulfuric Acid Process (SSAP), include iron metal, silica, oxygen and metal oxides, all of which are crucial in the scope of a sustainable, space-based economy. Although our proposed methodology requires an initial investment of water, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, we show that all of these volatiles are recovered and reused in order to repeat the process. We calculate the product yield from this process if it were enacted on the lunar highlands, lunar mare, Mars, as well as an array of asteroid types.

description: The real Ginibre ensemble refers to the family of n~n matrices in which each entry is an independent Gaussian random variable of mean zero and variance one. Our main result is that the appropriately scaled spectral radius converges in law to a Gumbel distribution as n → ∞. This fact has been known to hold in the complex and quaternion analogues of the ensemble for some time, with simpler proofs. Along the way we establish a new form for the limit law of the largest real eigenvalue. © 2014 Institute of Mathematical Statistics.

Low resolution WSRT imaging and higher resolution VLA B-array imaging show that the source is significantly elongated, stretching over a projected length of ~80 kpc. The HI imaging resolves the source into two parts of roughly equal mass. WIYN pODI optical imaging reveals a faint, blue optical counterpart coincident with the northern portion of the HI. The peak surface brightness of the optical source is only $μ_{g}$ = 26.6 mag arcsec$^{-2}$, well below the typical cutoff that defines the isophotal edge of a galaxy, and its estimated stellar mass is only $10^{7.32\pm0.33}$ solar masses, yielding an overall neutral gas-to-stellar mass ratio of M$_{\rm HI}$/M$_*=$~98$_{+111}\atop^{-52}$. We demonstrate the extreme nature of this object by comparing its properties to those of other HI-rich sources in ALFALFA and the literature. We also explore potential scenarios that might explain the existence of AGC~229101, including a tidal encounter with neighboring objects and a merger of two dark HI clouds.

description: Close to its center, the bulgeless galaxy NGC 2139 hosts a star cluster that is younger and less massive than any actual nuclear star cluster (NC) studied so far. We have measured the H-alpha velocity field around the photometric center of this galaxy using the VLT ARGUS integral field unit and GIRAFFE spectrograph in order to constrain different proposed theories of NC formation. We observe that the best-fit kinematic center and the candidate NC appear to be separated by 2.8 arcsec (320 pc). Indeed, the kinematic center also is offset from the galaxy's photometric center and a possible bar or extended region of star formation in which the young cluster resides, implying that this galaxy is not in dynamic equilibrium. The H-alpha flux map also reveals other regions of strong star formation in the possible bar. These observations suggest that a nascent NC is forming away from the kinematic center of NGC 2139 which may come to rest there on a time scale of a few 100 Myr.

description: © Copyright owned by the author(s) under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike Licence. The extraction of the magnetic form factor of the nucleon at zero momentum transfer is usually performed by adopting a parametrization for its momentum dependence and fitting the results obtained at finite momenta. We present position space methods that rely on taking the derivative of relevant correlators to extract directly the magnetic form factor at zero momentum without the need to assume a functional form for its momentum dependence. These methods are explored on one ensemble using Nf = 2+1+1 Wilson twisted mass fermions.

description: © 2014 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics. Understanding asymptotics of gradient components in relation to the symmetrized gradient is important for the analysis of buckling of slender structures. For circular cylindrical shells we obtain the exact scaling exponent of the Korn constant as a function of shell's thickness. Equally sharp results are obtained for individual components of the gradient in cylindrical coordinates. We also derive an analogue of the Kirchhoff ansatz, whose most prominent feature is its singular dependence on the slenderness parameter, in marked contrast with the classical case of plates and rods.

description: Herpesviruses have been infecting and codiverging with their vertebrate hosts for hundreds of millions of years. The primate simplex viruses exemplify this pattern of virus-host codivergence, at a minimum, as far back as the most recent common ancestor of NewWorldmonkeys, OldWorld monkeys, and apes. Humans are the only primate species known to be infected with two distinct herpes simplex viruses: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Human herpes simplex viruses are ubiquitous, with over two-thirds of the human population infected by at least one virus. Here, we investigated whether the additional human simplex virus is the result of ancient viral lineage duplication or cross-species transmission. We found that standard phylogenetic models of nucleotide substitution are inadequate for distinguishing among these competing hypotheses; the extent of synonymous substitutions causes a substantial underestimation of the lengths of some of the branches in the phylogeny, consistent with observations in other viruses (e.g., avian influenza, Ebola, and coronaviruses). To more accurately estimate ancient viral divergence times, we applied a branch-site random effects likelihood model ofmolecular evolution that allows the strength of natural selection to vary across both the viral phylogeny and the gene alignment. This selection-informed model favored a scenario in which HSV-1 is the result of ancient codivergence and HSV-2 arose from a cross-species transmission event from the ancestor of modern chimpanzees to an extinct Homo precursor of modern humans, around 1.6Ma. These results provide a new framework for understanding human herpes simplex virus evolution and demonstrate the importance of using selection-informedmodels of sequence evolution when investigating viral origin hypotheses. © The Author 2014.

description: Diffuse emission from the Milky Way dominates the gamma-ray sky. About 80% of the high-energy luminosity of the Milky Way comes from processes in the interstellar medium. The Galactic diffuse emission traces interactions of energetic particles, primarily protons and electrons, with the interstellar gas and radiation field, thus delivering information about cosmic-ray spectra and interstellar mass in distant locations. Additionally, the Galactic diffuse emission is the celestial foreground for the study of gamma-ray point sources and the extragalactic diffuse gamma-ray emission. We report on the latest developments in the modelling of the Galactic diffuse emission, which will be used for the Gamma Ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) investigations.

description: Grammatical inference consists in learning a formal grammar (as a set of rewrite rules or a finite state machine). We are concerned with learning Nondeterministic Finite Automata (NFA) of a given size from samples of positive and negative words. NFA can naturally be modeled in SAT. The standard model [1] being enormous, we also try a model based on prefixes [2] which generates smaller instances. We also propose a new model based on suffixes and a hybrid model based on prefixes and suffixes. We then focus on optimizing the size of generated SAT instances issued from the hybrid models. We present two techniques to optimize this combination, one based on Iterated Local Search (ILS), the second one based on Genetic Algorithm (GA). Optimizing the combination significantly reduces the SAT instances and their solving time, but at the cost of longer generation time. We, therefore, study the balance between generation time and solving time thanks to some experimental comparisons, and we analyze our various model improvements.

description: We report the detection of more than 120 emission lines corresponding to 8 complex organic molecules (CH3OH, CH3CH2OH, CH3OCH3, CH3OCHO, CH3COCH3, NH2CHO, CH2DCN, and CH3CH2CN) and 3 isotopologues (CH2DOH, 13CH3CN, and CH3C15N) toward the western component of the Ser-emb 11 binary young stellar object (YSO) using observations with the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array at ~1 mm. The complex organic emission was unresolved with a ~0.5" beam (~220 au) in a compact region around the central protostar, and a population diagram analysis revealed excitation temperatures above 100 K for all COMs, indicating the presence of a hot corino. The estimated column densities were in the range of 10^17 - 10^18 cm^-2 for the O-bearing COMs, and three orders of magnitude lower for the N-bearing species. We also report the detection of H2CO and CH3OH emission in a nearby millimeter source that had not been previously catalogued. Ser-emb 11 is classified in the literature as a Class I source near the Class 0/I cutoff. The estimated COM relative abundances in Ser-emb 11 W and the other three Class I hot corino sources reported in the literature are consistent with those of Class 0 hot corinos, suggesting a continuity in the chemical composition of hot corinos during protostellar evolution.

description: Let F be a surface and suppose that φ: F →F is a pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism, fixing a puncture p of F. The mapping torus M =Mφ is hyperbolic and contains a maximal cusp C about the puncture p.We show that the area (and height) of the cusp torus ∂C is equal to the stable translation distance of φ acting on the arc complex A(F,p), up to an explicitly bounded multiplicative error. Our proof relies on elementary facts about the hyperbolic geometry of pleated surfaces. In particular, the proof of this theorem does not use any deep results from Teichmüller theory, Kleinian group theory, or the coarse geometry of A(F,p). A similar result holds for quasi-Fuchsian manifolds N ≅ F ×ℝ. In that setting, we find a combinatorial estimate for the area (and height) of the cusp annulus in the convex core of N, up to explicitly bounded multiplicative and additive error. As an application, we show that covers of punctured surfaces induce quasi-isometric embeddings of arc complexes. © 2014 by the authors and Johns Hopkins University Press.

description: We report a permutationally invariant polynomial (PIP) potential energy surface for the water 4-body interaction. This 12-atom PES is a fit to 2119, symmetry-unique, CCSD(T)-F12a/haTZ (aug-cc-pVTZ basis for 'O' atom and cc-pVTZ basis for 'H' atom) 4-b interaction energies. These come from low-level, direct-dynamics calculations, tetramer fragments from an MD water simulation at 300 K, and from the water hexamer, heptamer, decamer, and 13-mer clusters. The PIP basis is purified to ensure that the 4-b potential goes rigorously to zero in monomer+trimer and dimer+dimer dissociations for all possible such fragments. The 4-b energies of isomers of the hexamer calculated with the new surface are shown to be in better agreement with benchmark CCSD(T) results than those from the MB-pol potential. Other tests validate the high-fidelity of the PES.

description: The Aw-Rascle-Zhang (ARZ) model can be interpreted as a generalization of the Lighthill-Whitham-Richards (LWR) model, possessing a family of fundamental diagram curves, each of which represents a class of drivers with a different empty road velocity. A weakness of this approach is that different drivers possess vastly different densities at which traffic flow stagnates. This drawback can be overcome by modifying the pressure relation in the ARZ model, leading to the generalized Aw-Rascle-Zhang (GARZ) model. We present an approach to determine the parameter functions of the GARZ model from fundamental diagram measurement data. The predictive accuracy of the resulting data-fitted GARZ model is compared to other traffic models by means of a three-detector test setup, employing two types of data: vehicle trajectory data, and sensor data. This work also considers the extension of the ARZ and the GARZ models to models with a relaxation term, and conducts an investigation of the optimal relaxation time. © American Institute of Mathematical Sciences.
EVALUATING PUBLIC HEALTH INTERVENTION OUTCOMES ON COMMUNICABLE DISEASES IN GHANA USING GENERALIZED LINEAR MIXED MODELS (GLMMS)

description: This study critically evaluates the outcomes of public health interventions targeting communicable diseases in Ghana from 2020 to 2024 using Generalized Linear Mixed Models (GLMMs). The justification for this research stems from the persistent regional disparities in disease incidence, despite the implementation of extensive vaccination campaigns, health education programs, and environmental sanitation initiatives. Given the limitations of traditional linear models in capturing multilevel and clustered health data, GLMMs were employed to assess intervention effectiveness across all 16 regions. The objectives focused on examining the impact of vaccination, education, and sanitation programs on malaria, tuberculosis, and HIV/AIDS prevalence. Methodologically, the study utilized secondary data from the Ghana Health Service, WHO, and other credible sources, applying GLMMs to account for both fixed and random effects. The findings revealed statistically significant negative associations between interventions and disease incidence: vaccination (β = -0.73, p< 0.001), education (β = -0.59, p = 0.004), and sanitation (β = -0.81, p = 0.001). Moreover, a strong positive correlation was found between socio-economic index and intervention success (r = 0.88), with the overall regression model explaining 79% of the variation in outcomes (R² = 0.79). These results underscore the effectiveness of integrated, data-driven interventions and reveal that regions with higher socio-economic status achieved better health outcomes. The study concludes that public health strategies must be localized, evidence-based, and supported by broader socio-economic investments. It recommends expanding mHealth tools, increasing sanitation projects in underserved areas, and decentralizing intervention planning to enhance equity.
