A large deviation principle in Hölder norm for multiple fractional integrals

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

For a fractional Brownian motion $B^H$ with Hurst parameter $H\in]{1/4},{1/2}[\cup]{1/2},1[$, multiple indefinite integrals on a simplex are constructed and the regularity of their sample paths are studied. Then, it is proved that the family of probability laws of the processes obtained by replacing $B^H$ by $ε^{1/2} B^H$ satisfies a large deviation principle in Hölder norm. The definition of the multiple integrals relies upon a representation of the fractional Brownian motion in terms of a stochastic integral with respect to a standard Brownian motion. For the large deviation principle, the abstract general setting given by Ledoux in [Lecture Notes in Math., vol. 1426 (1990) 1-14] is used.

In the context of my PhD I studied mostly problems that nd their\nlocation in the bioinformatics and bioengineering elds. The arti cial\nphotosynthesis has been object of my research and problems like the\ne cient sequestrations of CO2 and the optimization of the Nitrogen\nconsumption have been taken as target. Geobacter sulfurreducens, a\nmicroorganism capable of employing biomasses to produce electrons,\nhas been studied as well. New algorithmic approaches have been\ndeveloped on both topics and new results obtained are currently un-\nder consideration for \\in vitro" and \\in vivo" implementations. The\nintegration of the information coming from biological and medical re-\nsources is a problem that I tackled as well; in this case, the resulting\nsoftware is currently embedded in the project Cytosolve@MIT. On a\nparallel track, I also studied problems that are modeled in terms of\nCellular Automata, that are a computing environment that shows a\nstraight inspiration from natural phenomena.
ISO 9000 Quality Standards in Construction

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

There is risk involved in any construction project. A contractor's quality assurance system is essential in preventing problems and the reoccurrence of problems. This system ensures consistent quality for the contractor's clients. An evaluation of the quality systems of 15 construction contractors in Saudi Arabia is discussed here. The evaluation was performed against the ISO 9000 standard. The contractors' quality systems vary in complexity, ranging from an informal inspection and test system to a comprehensive system. The ISO 9000 clauses most often complied with are those dealing with (1) inspection and test status; (2) inspection and testing; (3) control of nonconformance product; and (4) handling, storage, and preservation. The clauses least complied with concern (1) design control; (2) internal auditing; (3) training; and (4) statistical techniques. Documentation of a quality system is scarce for the majority of the contractors.
Design and analysis of grid array antenna for total solution of highly-integrated 60-GHz radios

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In this paper, the current development of highly-integrated 60-GHz radios grid array antennas for reliable 60-GHz radio links will be examined. We design and analyze the grid array antennas with special attention to the differential feeding and the patterned ground plane. And two grid array antennas are integrated into one package. It propose the way of assembling it to the system printed circuit board, and result in a total solution of low cost as well as thin profile to highly-integrated 60-GHz radios. The antenna package is build in low temperature co-fired ceramic technology (LTCC) with feature size of only 13×13×1.265 mm3. It carries a 60-GHz radio die with flip-chip bonding, and achieves good antenna performance over the frequency range between 57GHz and 64 GHz. Hence, the design of the grid array antenna for 60-GHz radios is considered as the solution of radiating element. ii
Occupational Exposures Occurring among Dental Assistants in a UK Dental School

Field: Health Professions (Health Sciences)

Purpose The cross-infection risks for dentists have been well recognised, and much has been published regarding the incidence of occupational exposures to patient body fluids. Less has been reported regarding the risks to dental assistants. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of occupational exposures to patient body fluids among dental assistants, to assess the rate of reporting of such incidents, and to evaluate the association of various factors with these exposures. Method All 84 dental assistants working at Birmingham Dental Hospital were asked to complete a confidential questionnaire to provide retrospective information regarding the nature and incidence of any occupational exposures they had experienced. Results An overall response rate of 94% was achieved. Dental nurses experienced fewer occupational exposures than dental students at the same institution, and reported incidents more frequently. More injuries occurred after the treatment session. Handling local anaesthetic syringes was associated with more injuries, and percutaneous injuries predominated. Trainee nurses had experienced more occupational injuries in the preceding six months than their qualified colleagues. There was no significant association with any of the other factors evaluated. Conclusions The general incidence of occupational exposures among the dental assistants in this survey was low in comparison to dental students at the same institution. A further reduction may be possible by increasing the training of unqualified nurses with particular regard to post-treatment handling of sharp dental instruments and equipment.
Compaction of ultra-fine Al powders

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

The possibility of preparing bulk sub-micron grained profiles with superior mechanical properties was investigated. A bottom-up route was used, wherein commercial ultra-fine powders were consolidated with the aim of preserving the initial fine-grained structure and thus obtain unique mechanical properties. A relatively simple and cheap technique for preparation of Al bulk profiles through conventional direct extrusion compaction was established. During extrusion initial powder particles were deformed and fragmentised into ultra-fine elongated grains mostly aligned along the extrusion direction. Moreover, extensive energy induced into the input powder during compaction yielded fine distorted oxide dispersoids homogenously distributed within the final compacts. These do in fact represent MMC where Al matrix is reinforced with nanoscale alumina particles. The influence of powder size and other processing parameters on consolidation behaviour and mechanical properties of compacted profiles, their structure and thermal stability are reported and discussed. Overall comparison with conventionally prepared SAP materials is made.
Why Temporary Labour Migration is Not a Satisfactory Alternative to Permanent Migration

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Temporary labour migration programs are often proposed as a way to provide the benefits of migration in general, while mitigating the allegedly problematic effects of permanent migration. Here I propose that the arguments deployed in favour of temporary labour migration over permanent migration are flawed, normatively, and that empirically temporary labour migration programs produce effects in receiving states that are even worse than those (allegedly) produced by permanent migration. As a result, I shall argue that, for reasons of consistency, advocates of restricting permanent migration should support restricting temporary labour migration programs as well. I conclude not by arguing that temporary labour migration programs should be abandoned, but rather that we must focus more seriously on re-constructing temporary labour migration programs that do not produce these dilemmas, as well as on generating policies that alleviate the challenges they often pose in receiving societies.
Behavior of Cellular-Reinforced Fly-Ash Walls under Strip Loading

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

In India, pulverized coal is used at thermal power stations as a fuel to generate electricity, thereby producing enormous quantities of fly ash. The amount of fly ash has been increased with the increasing demand of electric utilities. The utilization of fly ash and its disposal in an environmentally friendly manner is a foremost concern for developing countries like India. In this present study, with the aim of proper utilization of fly ash, a series of model experiments was conducted by using fly ash as a backfill material in a cellular-reinforced fly-ash wall subjected to strip loading. Two different types of locally available waste water bottles were used to make cellular reinforcements. The reinforcements were laid in two different patterns, mattress and strip. This paper studies and presents the effects of changes in length, spacing, coverage ratio, and dimensions of the cellular reinforcements on the horizontal displacement behavior of a full height facing panel and on the settlement of backfill. The effects of single and double anchor cellular-reinforcement systems are also discussed and reported in this paper. For all types of reinforcement cases, the variation in length and the spacing of the reinforcement showed significant effect on the horizontal displacement of facing panel and on the settlement of the backfill.
Evolution of the Electrode–Electrolyte Interface\nof LiNi<sub>0.8</sub>Co<sub>0.15</sub>Al<sub>0.05</sub>O<sub>2</sub> Electrodes Due to Electrochemical and Thermal Stress

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

For\nlayered oxide cathodes, impedance growth and capacity fade\nrelated to reactions at the cathode–electrolyte interface (CEI)\nare particularly prevalent at high voltage and high temperatures.\nAt a minimum, the CEI layer consists of Li<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub>, LiF, reduced (relative to the bulk) metal-ion species, and salt\ndecomposition species, but conflicting reports exist regarding their\nprogression during (dis)­charging. Utilizing transport measurements\nin combination with X-ray and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy\ntechniques, we study the evolution of these CEI species as a function\nof electrochemical and thermal stress for LiNi<sub>0.8</sub>Co<sub>0.15</sub>Al<sub>0.05</sub>O<sub>2</sub> (NCA) particle electrodes\nusing a LiPF<sub>6</sub> ethylene carbonate:dimethyl carbonate (1:1\nvolume ratio) electrolyte. Although initial surface metal reduction\ndoes correlate with surface Li<sub>2</sub>CO<sub>3</sub> and LiF,\nthese species are found to decompose upon charging and are absent\nabove 4.25 V. While there is trace LiPF<sub>6</sub> breakdown at room\ntemperature above 4.25 V, thermal aggravation is found to strongly\npromote salt breakdown and contributes to surface degradation even\nat lower voltages (4.1 V). An interesting finding of our work was\nthe partial reformation of LiF upon discharge, which warrants further\nconsideration for understanding CEI stability during cycling.

255 EFFECT OF THE TYPE OF DIETARY FATTY ACID (α-LINOLENIC ACID OR LINOLEIC ACID) ON THE NUMBER AND THE QUALITY OF OOCYTES COLLECTED BY OVUM PICKUP AND ON IN VITRO EMBRYO PRODUCTION BY DAIRY HEIFERS

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

A supplement of dietary fat can improve oocyte quality in ruminants. However, to our knowledge, the effect of the type dietary fat (differing in fatty acid profile) on oocyte and embryo production has never been reported in cattle. Therefore, in this study the effect of the type of fat supplement on the number and quality of oocytes collected by ovum pickup (OPU) and on the production of embryos was investigated in Holstein heifers. The experiment was conducted over 2 years: year 1: 8 heifers, and year 2: 10 heifers (16 to 20 months old, body weight 368 ± 8.2 kg and BCS 2.3 ± 0.1). Heifers were given a diet of hay (67% DM) and a concentrate (33% DM). The concentrate (130 g fat/kg DM) was formulated with either extruded linseeds (L, rich in a-linolenic acid (?-3 fatty acid), n = 9) or extruded soybeans (S, rich in linoleic acid (?-6 fatty acid), n = 9). Oocytes were collected by OPU for 6 weeks (2 sessions/week) and their morphological quality was assessed (Q1, excellent; Q2, good; Q3, fair; and Q4, low). The oocytes from one session/week were frozen and those from the other session were used to produce embryos ( in vitro maturation and fertilization). Embryo quality was judged following IETS criteria (EQ1, excellent; EQ2, good; EQ3, fair; and EQ4, low). Blood samples were collected weekly throughout the experiment for the analysis of insulin, insulin-like growth factor-1, glucose, non-esterified fatty acids, ß-hydroxybutyrate, and urea. Statistical analysis was performed on the growth rate, BCS, hormone, metabolite, and fatty acid data and on the oocyte and embryo data using Split plot ANOVA. Growth rate was not affected by diet (S, 0.93 ± 0.21 kg d-1 vs. L, 0.90 ± 0.21 kg d-1), and there was no effect of dietary treatment on plasma hormone and metabolite concentrations. However, treatment L increased the proportion of a-linolenic acid ( P &lt; 0.0001), and treatment S increased the proportion of linoleic acid ( P &lt; 0.0001) in the plasma. Neither the oocyte characteristics (number of oocytes collected, 5.3 ± 1.0 vs. 5.7 ± 1.0; their quality: Q1, 1.1 ± 0.3 vs. 1.0 ± 0.3; Q2, 1.8 ± 0.3 vs. 1.6 ± 0.3; Q3, 1.4 ± 0.4 vs. 2.1 ± 0.4; and Q4, 1.0 ± 0.2 vs. 1.1 ± 0.2; and oocytes inseminated, 4.4 ± 0.8 vs. 5.1 ± 0.8, and cleaved, 3.4 ± 0.7 vs. 3.5 ± 0.7 per heifer per session; L vs. S, respectively) nor the embryo characteristics (number of embryos, 1.1 ± 0.3 vs. 0.9 ± 0.3; their quality: EQ1, 0.4 ± 0.1 vs. 0.3 ± 0.1; EQ2, 0.4 ± 0.1 vs. 0.3 ± 0.1; EQ3, 0.2 ± 0.1 vs. 0.3 ± 0.1; and EQ4, 0.04 ± 0.03 vs. 0.05 ± 0.03 per heifer per session; L vs. S, respectively) were affected by dietary treatment. In conclusion, under our experimental conditions, the type of fatty acid (?-3 vs. ?-6) does not modify significantly the numbers of oocytes and embryos produced by OPU and their quality in dairy eifers.

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Abstract This study investigates the link between the different service characteristics that have an influence on customer satisfaction in university cafeteria food services. A conceptual model comprising of different variables like food and beverage quality, service quality, food choice, price and value equality, and ambience were studied for customer satisfaction to explore the relationship among them. This study examined how dining experiences influence the satisfaction and loyalty of both non-mature (students) and mature (staff) customers, in order to find their similarities and differences within the context of university cafeteria services. The study was conducted at Taylor’s University in Malaysia by using a quantitative research approach, and 231 students and 63 staff members of the university participated in the study. The findings reveal that the various quality factors considered in the study are positively correlated with customer satisfaction and have a significant impact on the satisfaction level of both students and staff who dined at the university cafeteria. It could be concluded from the results that the influence of price offered at the university cafeteria had a significant effect on respondents’ loyalty. The result of this study offers a direction towards better the services and facilities, which lead to an increase of the competitive influence of the restaurant business in the marketplace.
Molecular Pathways of Neurodegeneration in Parkinson's Disease

Field: Neuroscience (Life Sciences)

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex disorder with many different causes, yet they may intersect in common pathways, raising the possibility that neuroprotective agents may have broad applicability in the treatment of PD. Current evidence suggests that mitochondrial complex I inhibition may be the central cause of sporadic PD and that derangements in complex I cause α-synuclein aggregation, which contributes to the demise of dopamine neurons. Accumulation and aggregation of α-synuclein may further contribute to the death of dopamine neurons through impairments in protein handling and detoxification. Dysfunction of parkin (a ubiquitin E3 ligase) and DJ-1 could contribute to these deficits. Strategies aimed at restoring complex I activity, reducing oxidative stress and α-synuclein aggregation, and enhancing protein degradation may hold particular promise as powerful neuroprotective agents in the treatment of PD.
TextDecepter: Hard Label Black Box Attack on Text Classifiers

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Machine learning has been proven to be susceptible to carefully crafted samples, known as adversarial examples. The generation of these adversarial examples helps to make the models more robust and gives us an insight into the underlying decision-making of these models. Over the years, researchers have successfully attacked image classifiers in both, white and black-box settings. However, these methods are not directly applicable to texts as text data is discrete. In recent years, research on crafting adversarial examples against textual applications has been on the rise. In this paper, we present a novel approach for hard-label black-box attacks against Natural Language Processing (NLP) classifiers, where no model information is disclosed, and an attacker can only query the model to get a final decision of the classifier, without confidence scores of the classes involved. Such an attack scenario applies to real-world black-box models being used for security-sensitive applications such as sentiment analysis and toxic content detection.
