description: In most convolution neural networks (CNNs), downsampling hidden layers is adopted for increasing computation efficiency and the receptive field size. Such operation is commonly so-called pooling. Maximation and averaging over sliding windows (max/average pooling), and plain downsampling in the form of strided convolution are popular pooling methods. Since the pooling is a lossy procedure, a motivation of our work is to design a new pooling approach for less lossy in the dimensionality reduction. Inspired by the Fourier spectral pooling(FSP) proposed by Rippel et. al. [1], we present the Hartley transform based spectral pooling method in CNNs. Compared with FSP, the proposed spectral pooling avoids the use of complex arithmetic for frequency representation and reduces the computation. Spectral pooling preserves more structure features for network's discriminability than max and average pooling. We empirically show that Hartley spectral pooling gives rise to the convergence of training CNNs on MNIST and CIFAR-10 datasets.

Bound states of Newton's equivalent finite square well

description: In this paper, a 1-parameter family of Newton's equivalent Hamiltonians (NEH) for finite square well potential is analyzed in order to obtain bound state energy spectrum and wavefunctions. For a generic potential, each of the NEH is classically equivalent to one another and to the standard Hamiltonian yielding Newton's equations. Quantum mechanically, however, they are expected to be differed from each other. The Schrödinger's equation coming from each of NEH with finite square well potential is an infinite order differential equation. The matching conditions therefore demand the wavefunctions to be infinitely differentiable at the well boundaries. To handle this, we provide a way to consistently truncate these conditions. It turns out as expected that bound state energy spectrum and wavefunctions are dependent on the parameter $β,$ which is used to characterize different NEH. As $β\to 0,$ the energy spectrum coincides with that from the standard quantum finite square well.

description: Objective: The objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of superhydrophobic coating on the hemodynamics
and turbulence characteristics of a bileaflet mechanical valve in the context of evaluating blood damage
potential.
Methods: Two 3D printed bileaflet mechanical valves were hemodynamically tested in a pulse duplicator under
physiological pressure and flow conditions. The leaflets of one of the two valves were sprayed with a superhydrophobic
coating. Particle Image Velocimetry was performed. Pressure gradients (PG), effective orifice areas
(EOA), Reynolds shear stresses (RSS) and instantaneous viscous shear stresses (VSS) were calculated.
Results: (a) Without SH coating, the PG was found to be 14.53 � 0.7 mmHg and EOA 1.44 � 0.06 cm2. With
coating, the PG obtained was 15.21 � 1.7 mmHg and EOA 1.39 � 0.07 cm2; (b) during peak systole, the
magnitude of RSS with SH coating (110Pa) exceeded that obtained without SH coating (40 Pa) with higher
probabilities to develop higher RSS in the immediate wake of the leaflet; (c) The magnitudes range of instantaneous
VSS obtained with SH coating were slightly larger than those obtained without SH coating (7.0 Pa versus
5.0 Pa).
Conclusion: With Reynolds Shear Stresses and instantaneous Viscous Shear Stresses being correlated with platelet
damage, SH coating did not lead to their decrease. While SH coating is known to improve surface properties such
as reduced platelet or clot adhesion, the relaxation of the slip condition does not necessarily improve overall
hemodynamic performance for the bileaflet mechanical valve design.

description: We consider effects of the interaction between electrons drifting along the opposite sides of a narrow sample under the conditions of the quantum Hall effect. A spatial variation of this interaction leads to backward scattering of collective excitations propagating along the edges. Experiments on propagation of the edge modes in samples with constrictions may give information about the strength of the inter-edge electron interaction in the quantum Hall regime.

description: The Image Source Method (ISM) is one of the most employed techniques to calculate acoustic Room Impulse Responses (RIRs), however, its computational complexity grows fast with the reverberation time of the room and its computation time can be prohibitive for some applications where a huge number of RIRs are needed. In this paper, we present a new implementation that dramatically improves the computation speed of the ISM by using Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) to parallelize both the simulation of multiple RIRs and the computation of the images inside each RIR. Additional speedups were achieved by exploiting the mixed precision capabilities of the newer GPUs and by using lookup tables. We provide a Python library under GNU license that can be easily used without any knowledge about GPU programming and we show that it is about 100 times faster than other state of the art CPU libraries. It may become a powerful tool for many applications that need to perform a large number of acoustic simulations, such as training machine learning systems for audio signal processing, or for real-time room acoustics simulations for immersive multimedia systems, such as augmented or virtual reality.

description: Driven by a passion for ethical compliance in health practices and research in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), this thesis explores how Indigenous African bioethics can align with and enhance global moral principles to improve health outcomes. SSA bears a heavy disease burden, with endemic conditions like malaria and Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) posing significant health crises. These issues, responsible for over half a million annual deaths in SSA from malaria-related illnesses alone, should be recognized as health emergencies requiring urgent action. The thesis advocates for mandatory participation in research-based interventions targeting malaria and T2DM across SSA, given malaria parasite’s unpredictable behavior and SSA’s low health literacy. While acknowledging concerns about personal autonomy and privacy, it argues that the ethical imperative to save lives and reduce suffering outweighs these concerns. The work also proposes safeguards, grounded in SSA’s culturally embedded values and ethos, to protect participants and communities from exploitation during and after these interventions.

description: We report recent theoretical progress in the analysis of radiative corrections in inclusive rare B-decays. In view of the B-factories, currently under construction at SLAC and KEK, and of the upgraded CESR experiment, the experimental status of rare B decays is expected to improve significantly in the near future. We review the complete NLL QCD calculations of the inclusive b -> s gamma and the b -> d gamma decay rates. We also discuss recently computed electroweak corrections and further improvements which lead to the current theoretical prediction of B(B -> X_s gamma) = (3.32 +/- 0.30) * 10^{-4}. We shortly comment on the theoretical uncertainty and on implications to physics beyond the SM. We collect the experimental data already available from CESR and LEP and discuss experimental and theoretical problems regarding the photon energy spectrum.

description: In this thesis, we explore the distribution and properties of star-forming galaxies in six intermediate redshift (0.3 < z < 1.0) galaxy clusters. Our sample is drawn from the WIYN Long Term Variability Survey (WLTV) obtained with the Mini-Mosaic camera on the WIYN 3.5m telescope. We focus on a subset of six fields from this survey, for which the WIYN UBRIz imaging is supplemented with narrow-band imaging that samples rest-frame [OII]3727. The data analysis includes unique reduction procedures for the Mini-Mosaic camera, an algorithm to produce galaxy photometry with small systematic errors, and a hybrid photometric redshift method that produces small random and systematic errors. The WIYN imaging data is supplemented by imaging data from the WIYN 0.9m telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope archive. The number density and distribution of Luminous Compact Blue Galaxies (LCBGs) are explored in six cluster fields. The LCBGs are a significant cluster population (13--28%) with a distribution best. described as shell-like. Reasonable assumptions about the lifetime and number density of the LCBGs indicate that cluster LCBGs must fade substantially to produce luminosity functions in these clusters that are comparable to cluster luminosity functions observed today. Combining the information about their number density and distribution with the exponential light profiles observed, cluster LCBGs are a likely progenitor population for dwarf elliptical galaxies. The [OII]3727 luminosity function for all star-forming galaxies in these clusters reveal an over-density of emission line galaxies relative to the field. The total star formation rate measured in a sample which includes intermediate redshift clusters from the literature displays no trend with redshift, mass, or x-ray properties. The mass-normalized total star formation rate does show a moderate to strong correlation with redshift and luminosity gap statistic. After correcting the mass-normalized total star formation rate by the mass-normalized global star formation rate at the redshift of the cluster, large star formation rates are only observed in clusters that have undergone recent major merger events identified by the luminosity gap statistic.

description: A complete definition of the cycles, on the auxiliary Riemann surface defined by Martinec and Warner for describing pure N=2 gauge theories with arbitrary group, is provided. The strong coupling monodromies around the vanishing cycles are shown to arise from a set of dyons which becomes massless at the singularities. It is shown how the correct weak coupling monodromies are reproduced and how the dyons have charges which are consistent with the spectrum that can be calculated at weak coupling using conventional semi-classical methods. In particular, the magnetic charges are co-root vectors as required by the Dirac-Schwinger-Zwanziger quantization condition.

description: A new self-assembled microscale biomaterial was developed by conjugating carboxyl functionalized phenylisoxazole with spermidine and attachment of the peptide sequence WSGPGVWGASVK (WSG). The chemotherapeutic drug topotecan was then entrapped into the assemblies. Release studies showed an initial burst release followed by a steady release. Furthermore the drug entrapped assemblies were potent against cell proliferation, mitigated cell migration and induced the loss of lamellopodia in breast MDA-MB-231 tumor cells and ovarian SK-OV-3. Higher efficacy was observed for MDA-MB-231 cells. Thus, a new phenylisoxazole-sperimidyl amide-WSG nanovehicle was developed for targeting MDA-MB-231 and SK-OV-3 cancer cells.

description: In a New Keynesian macroeconomic model under credible commitment, price level targeting dominates inflation targeting. But with sufficient inflation aversion the inflation targeting central bank can produce quantitatively similar results to one targeting the price level. The current degree of inflation aversion demonstrated by the Bank of England may be sufficient to reap the benefits of price level targeting.

description: The ability of implementing quantum operations plays fundamental role in manipulating quantum systems. Creation and annihilation operators which transform a quantum state to another by adding or subtracting a particle are crucial of constructing quantum description of many body quantum theory and quantum field theory. Here we present a quantum algorithm to perform them by the linear combination of unitary operations associated with a two-qubit ancillary system. Our method can realize creation and annihilation operators simultaneously in the subspace of the whole system. A prototypical experiment was performed with a 4-qubit Nuclear Magnetic Resonance processor, demonstrating the algorithm via full state tomography. The creation and annihilation operators are realized with a fidelity all above 96% and a probability about 50%. Moreover, our method can be employed to quantum random walk in an arbitrary initial state. With the prosperous development of quantum computing, our work provides a quantum control technology to implement non-unitary evolution in near-term quantum computer.

The Effects of oil Prices on UAE Goods.pdf

Publisher: name: figshare
Year: 2018
Subjects: Economics

description: We seek to investigate the effect of oil price on UAE goods trade deficit with the U.S. The current increase in the price of oil and the absence of significant studies in the UAE economy are the main motives behind the current study. Our paper focuses on a small portion of UAE trade, which is 11% of the UAE foreign trade, however, it is a significant part since the U.S. is a major trade partner with the UAE. The current paper concludes that oil price has a significant positive influence on real imports. At the same time, oil price does not have a significant effect on real exports. As a result, any increase in the price of oil increases goods trade deficit of the UAE economy. The policy implication of the current paper is that the revenue of oil sales is not used to encourage UAE real exports.

description: BACKGROUND: Prior studies have reported the cross-sectional relationship between lung function and arterial stiffness, while the longitudinal association remains unclear to date. This study aimed to investigate whether abnormal lung function and its subtypes at baseline are associated with increased arterial stiffness using a cohort. METHODS AND RESULTS: This was a secondary analysis extracting 2461 participants from Beijing Health Management Cohort as baseline and annually followed for development of arterial stiffness. Abnormal lung function was defined by forced expiratory volume in 1s <80% of the predicted value, forced vital capacity of the predicted value, or forced expiratory volume in 1s/forced vital capacity ratio <70%. Increased arterial stiffness was determined by brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity ≥1400 cm/s. Cox proportional hazards model was used to calculate the hazard ratio and population attributable fraction. The mean age was 42.8±8.1 years, and 444 (18.0%) cases developed increased arterial stiffness during a median follow-up of 3.0 years. The adjusted hazard ratio (95% CI) of arterial stiffness was 1.47 (95% CI, 1.10-1.96) for abnormal lung function, with a population attributable fraction of 3.9% (95% CI, 0.8-7.1). Of subtypes, only obstructive ventilatory dysfunction was significantly associated with arterial stiffness (adjusted hazard ratio, 2.06 [95% CI, 1.27-3.36]), not restricted ventilatory dysfunction (adjusted hazard ratio, 0.95 [95% CI, 0.54-1.65]). Consistent results were observed on multiple sensitivity analyses. CONCLUSIONS: Our study indicated a longitudinal association of abnormal lung function with increased arterial stiffness using a large cohort, especially for the obstructive ventilatory dysfunction.

description: The mathematical formulation of a large-scale equilibrium natural gas simulation model is presented. Although large-scale natural gas models have been developed and used for energy security and policy analysis quite extensively (e.g., Holz (2007), Egging et al. (2008), Holz et al. (2009) and Lise et al. (2008)), this model differs from earlier ones in its detailed representation of the structure and operations of the Former Soviet Union (FSU) gas sector. In particular, the model represents: (i) market power of transit countries, (ii) transmission pipelines in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus and Central Asia, (iii) differentiation among gas production regions in Russia, and (iv) gas trade relations between FSU countries (e.g., Gazprom’s re-exporting of Central Asian gas). To demonstrate the model, a social benefit-cost analysis of the Nord Stream gas pipeline project from Russia to Germany via the Baltic Sea is provided. It is found that Nord Stream project is profitable for its investors and the project also improves social welfare in all market power scenarios. Also, if transit countries (Ukraine and Belarus) exert substantial market power then the economic value of Nord Stream to its investors and to society improves substantially. We also found that the value of Nord Stream investment is rather sensitive to the degree of downstream competition in European markets and that lack of downstream competition might result in the negative value of the Nord Stream system to Gazprom.

Job Loss, Credit Constraints and Consumption Growth
Creators: name: Crossley, Thomas
name: Low, Hamish
Publisher: name: Faculty of Economics
Year: 2012
Subjects: Job Loss
Credit Constraints
Consumption

description: We use direct evidence on credit constraints to study their importance for household consumption growth and for welfare. We distentangle the direct effect on consumption growth of a currently binding credit constraint from the indirect effect of a potentially binding credit constraint which generates consumption risk. Our data is focused on job losers. We find that less than 5% of job losers experience a binding credit constraint, but for those that do, they experience significant welfare losses, and consumption growth is 24% higher than for the rest of the population. However, even among those who are currently unconstrained and who are able to borrow if needed, consumption responds to transitory income.
Partial-wave analysis of the eta pi+ pi- system produced in the reaction pi-p --> eta pi+ pi- n at 18 GeV/c

description: A partial-wave analysis of 9082 eta pi+ pi- n events produced in the reaction pi- p --> eta pi+ pi- n at 18.3 GeV/c has been carried out using data from experiment 852 at Brookhaven National Laboratory. The data are dominated by J^{PC} = 0^{-+} partial waves consistent with observation of the eta(1295) and the eta(1440). The mass and width of the eta(1295) were determined to be 1282 +- 5 MeV and 66 +- 13 Mev respectively while the eta(1440) was observed with a mass of 1404 +- 6 MeV and width of 80 +- 21 MeV. Other partial waves of importance include the 1++ and the 1+- waves. Results of the partial wave analysis are combined with results of other experiments to estimate f1(1285) branching fractions. These values are considerably different from current values determined without the aid of amplitude analyses.

title: Wert-Abjektion als konstituierende und strukturierende Kraft von Care-Arbeit im patriarchalen Kapitalismus
Creators: name: Müller, Beatrice
Publisher: name: Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Care
subject: Kapitalismus
subject: Patriarchat
subject: ddc:300

description: Der Artikel verfolgt den Anspruch einen Beitrag zur Theoretisierung der Care-Arbeit im patriarchalen Kapitalismus zu leisten. Auf einer abstrakten Ebene wird versucht die permanente Abwertung der Care-Arbeit durch eine Verknüpfung marxistisch-feministischer und psychoanalytischer Perspektiven analytisch fassbar zu machen. Zunächst wird dabei das Wert-Abspaltungstheorem von Roswitha Scholz im Kontext marxistisch-feministischer Debatten, skizziert und kritisiert und in zweifacher Weise (formanalytisch und psychoanalytisch) re-konzeptualisiert Im Ergebnis wird dabei die Marx’ sche Wertform als Wert-Abjektionsform konzipiert, die als soziale Form die strukturierende und konstituierende Kraft der Care-Arbeit darstellt und so deren permanente Abwertung erklärt.
The Cost of Improving Gas Supply Security in the Baltic States
Creators: name: Noël, Pierre

Publisher: name: Faculty of Economics
Year: 2012

description: The Baltic States (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania) are three amongst the smallest gas markets in Europe. They import all the gas they consume from Russia, with whom they have difficult political relationships. A disruption of their supply from Russia, whatever the cause, would have severe consequences as a large share of their peak winter consumption could not be replaced by alternative gas or other fuels. The three governments want to invest in improving gas supply security and the European Commission pushes in the same direction. But what should they do? We present an assessment of the cost of various national and regional options - dual-fuel for heat plants and CHPs; strategic gas storage; strategic LNG terminals - to increase gas supply security. The cost is calculated over thirty years for different scenarios of supply disruptions. Uncertainty in commodity prices and interest rates is taken into account through Monte Carlo simulations. We draw the policy conclusions, taking into account the regional political context.
Axino-Neutrino Mixing in Gauge-Mediated Supersymmetry Breaking Models
Creators: name: Chun, Eung Jin
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: When the strong CP problem is solved by spontaneous breaking of an anomalous global symmetry in theories with gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking, the pseudo Goldstone fermion (the axino) is a good candidate of a light sterile neutrino. Its mixing with neutrinos relevant for current neutrino experiments can arise in the presence of R-parity violation. The realistic four neutrino mass matrix is obtained when the see-saw mechanism is brought in, and an ansatz for the right-handed neutrino mass is constructed.

title: Plädoyer für eine utopietheoretische Erweiterung feministischer Gesellschaftskritik
Creators: name: Dierkes, Mirjam
Publisher: name: Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Diskurs
subject: Feministische Kritik
subject: Utopie
subject: ddc:300

description: Der vorliegende Artikel argumentiert, dass kritisch-feministische Perspektiven auf Gesellschaft und Ökonomie einer utopietheoretischen Erweiterung bedürfen. Dies gilt vor allem dann, wenn sie sich real vorhandenen emanzipatorischen Praxen verpflichtet fühlen. Denn diese „konkreten Utopien“ sind auch auf der analytischen Ebene nur unter Einbezug einer utopietheoretischen Perspektive adäquat abzugrenzen und zu analysieren. Der Artikel sondiert in diesem Sinne kritisch vorliegende Ansätze aus dem theoretischen Utopiediskurs. Ziel dabei ist es, eine aktualisierte feministisch-utopietheoretische Position im Kontext von kritischer Gesellschaftstheorie zu konturieren.
Sources of Emission Reductions: Evidence for US SO2 Emissions 1985-2002
Creators: name: Ellerman, A. Denny
name: Dubroeucq, Florence
Publisher: name: Faculty of Economics
Year: 2004

description: An enduring issue in environmental regulation is whether to clean up existing "old" plants or in some manner to bring in new "clean" plants to replace the old. In this paper, a unit-level data base of emissions by nearly 2000 electric generating units from 1985 through 2002 is used to analyze the contribution of these two factors in accomplishing the significant reduction of sulfur dioxide emissions from these sources in the United States. The effect on SO2 emissions of the new natural-gas-fired, combined-cycle capacity that has been introduced since 1998 is also examined. The results indicate that cleaning up the old plants has made by far the greater contribution to reducing SO2 emissions, and that this contribution has been especially large since the introduction of the SO2 cap-and-trade program in 1995.
Model of supersymmetric quantum field theory with broken parity symmetry

description: Recently, it was observed that self-interacting scalar quantum field theories having a non-Hermitian interaction term of the form $g(iϕ)^{2+δ}$, where $δ$ is a real positive parameter, are physically acceptable in the sense that the energy spectrum is real and bounded below. Such theories possess PT invariance, but they are not symmetric under parity reflection or time reversal separately. This broken parity symmetry is manifested in a nonzero value for $$, even if $δ$ is an even integer. This paper extends this idea to a two-dimensional supersymmetric quantum field theory whose superpotential is ${\cal S}(ϕ)=-ig(iϕ)^{1+δ}$. The resulting quantum field theory exhibits a broken parity symmetry for all $δ>0$. However, supersymmetry remains unbroken, which is verified by showing that the ground-state energy density vanishes and that the fermion-boson mass ratio is unity.

description: Two ordering states, antiferromagnetism and nematicity, have been observed in most iron-based superconductors (SCs). In contrast to those SCs, the newly discovered SC CaK(Fe$_{1-x}$Ni$_x$)$_4$As$_4$ exhibits an antiferromagnetic (AFM) state, called hedgehog spin-vortex crystal structure, without nematic order, providing the opportunity for the investigation into the relationship between spin fluctuations and SC without any effects of nematic fluctuations. Our $^{75}$As nuclear magnetic resonance studies on CaK(Fe$_{1-x}$Ni$_x$)$_4$As$_4$ (0$\le x\le$ 0.049) revealed that CaKFe$_4$As$_4$ is located close to a hidden hedgehog SVC AFM quantum-critical point (QCP). The magnetic QCP without nematicity in CaK(Fe$_{1-x}$Ni$_x$)$_4$As$_4$ highlights the close connection of spin fluctuations and superconductivity in iron-based SCs. The advantage of stoichiometric composition also makes CaKFe$_4$As$_4$ an ideal platform for further detailed investigation of the relationship between magnetic QCP and superconductivity in iron-based SCs without disorder effects.

subject: ddc:300

description: Die neue ecuadorianische Verfassung hat das Konzept des Buen Vivir, des Guten Lebens, zum Leitmotiv erklärt. Dieser Beitrag untersucht dieses aus einer feministischen Perspektive und lehnt sich dabei an Standpunkte der Care Economy und feministischer politischer Ökonomie an. Einer sozial und ökologisch gerechten, insbesondere einer geschlechtergerechten Gesellschaft wird sich über zwei radikale Neuerungen des Buen Vivir angenähert: die begriffliche Neubestimmung produktiver Arbeit in einem solidarischen Wirtschaftssystem und die Anerkennung von Rechten der Natur. Als entscheidende utopische Methode im Entstehungs- und Umsetzungsprozess des Buen Vivir wird dabei die umfassende Partizipation der Bevölkerung identifiziert. Auch wenn, oder gerade weil, die Politiken bisher nicht auf eine schlüssige Umsetzung hinführen, ist der Transformationsprozess von unten her in vollem Gange.
