Direct Search Methods for Nonsmooth Problems using Global Optimization Techniques

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

This thesis considers the practical problem of constrained and unconstrained local optimization. This subject has been well studied when the objective function f is assumed to smooth. However, nonsmooth problems occur naturally and frequently in practice. Here f is assumed to be nonsmooth or discontinuous without forcing smoothness assumptions near, or at, a potential solution. Various methods have been presented by others to solve nonsmooth optimization problems, however only partial convergence results are possible for these methods. In this thesis, an optimization method which use a series of local and localized global optimization phases is proposed. The local phase searches for a local minimum and gives the methods numerical performance on parts of f which are smooth. The localized global phase exhaustively searches for points of descent in a neighborhood of cluster points. It is the localized global phase which provides strong theoretical convergence results on nonsmooth problems. Algorithms are presented for solving bound constrained, unconstrained and constrained nonlinear nonsmooth optimization problems. These algorithms use direct search methods in the local phase as they can be applied directly to nonsmooth problems because gradients are not explicitly required. The localized global optimization phase uses a new partitioning random search algorithm to direct random sampling into promising subsets of ℝⁿ. The partition is formed using classification and regression trees (CART) from statistical pattern recognition. The CART partition defines desirable subsets where f is relatively low, based on previous sampling, from which further samples are drawn directly. For each algorithm, convergence to an essential local minimizer of f is demonstrated under mild conditions. That is, a point x* for which the set of all feasible points with lower f values has Lebesgue measure zero for all sufficiently small neighborhoods of x*. Stopping rules are derived for each algorithm giving practical convergence to estimates of essential local minimizers. Numerical results are presented on a range of nonsmooth test problems for 2 to 10 dimensions showing the methods are effective in practice.
Rome, Italy. The brickstamps of the Domus Tiberiana from the Archive of Clemens Krause. Season 2020

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

This article presents the results of two short scholarships on the important collection of brick stamps collected by Professor Clemens Krause (University of Fribourg, Switzerland) and his team during their study of the Domus Tiberiana between 1981 and 1987. The work stands in line with the research carried out by Ulrike Wulf-Rheidt and Evelyne Bukowiecki on the brick stamps of other imperial residences of the Palatine in the framework of the »Palatin-Projekt«. By entrusting his archive to the authors, Krause intended to make the most of this unpublished collection. This preliminary study should thus be interpreted as a first step towards making these data available for further research on brick stamps as indicators of the supply dynamics of building sites and construction processes in imperial Rome.
SIVAGA CHINTHAMANI AND NORM OF PURITY [CĪVAKA CINTĀMAṆIYIL KAṞPIYAL]

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

From the Sangam period onwards, Aimperungappiyams developed the specialty of the Tamil language. Sivaga Chintamani is one of epic of the Aimperungappiyams. The epic was composed in the 9th century by a Jain monk named Tiruttakkathevar. Sivagan was the leader of this epic. The epic is named as Sivaga Chintamani as it tells the life story of Sivagan. Sivaga Chintamani has 3145 poems and 13 chapter. Sivaka Chintamani is a book on Jainisme. Sivagan married 8 women in this book, so this book also be called Mananool. Although the book is about love story, it is full of cultural elements. The characters in Sivaga Chintamani shows the purity norm in a very modern way. Moreover, in this book, purity is mentioned from many perspectives. Through this study, it is possible to know that the life of the Sivagan and others characters is full of the Tamil cultural element of purity. Moreover, this study will be very helpful to change the view of Sivaga Chintamani which is considered only as a marriage book.
Cultivating the “higher law” in American jurisprudence: John Quincy Adams, neo‐classical rhetoric, and theAmistadcase

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract Working from the assumption that John Quincy Adams brought to his address in United States v. Amistad (1841) the precepts of rhetoric he had taught at Harvard, this essay offers a reading of the speech that is grounded in neo‐classical rhetoric and informed by our current understanding of rhetoric's constitutive function. The reading reveals that Adams used the precepts of neo‐classical rhetoric to cultivate a "higher law" in American jurisprudence and, in so doing, sketched a rhetoric of American law.
Cold Start Problem of Vehicle Model Recognition under Cross-Scenario Based on Transfer Learning

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

As a major function of smart transportation in smart cities, vehicle model recognition plays an important role in intelligent transportation. Due to the difference among different vehicle models recognition datasets, the accuracy of network model training in one scene will be greatly reduced in another one. However, if you don’t have a lot of vehicle model datasets for the current scene, you cannot properly train a model. To address this problem, we study the problem of cold start of vehicle model recognition under cross-scenario. Under the condition of small amount of datasets, combined with the method of transfer learning, load the DAN (Deep Adaptation Networks) and JAN (Joint Adaptation Networks) domain adaptation modules into the convolutional neural network AlexNet and ResNet, and get four models: AlexNet-JAN, AlexNet-DAN, ResNet-JAN, and ResNet-DAN which can achieve a higher accuracy at the beginning. Through experiments, transfer the vehicle model recognition from the network image dataset (source domain) to the surveillance-nature dataset (target domain), both Top-1 and Top-5 accuracy have been improved by at least 20%.
[Isolation of the Isfahan virus in Turkmenia].

Field: Immunology and Microbiology (Life Sciences)

This is a first report on the isolation in the USSR of Isfahan virus belonging to the Rhabdoviridae family. Two strains, T-200 and T-227, were isolated from a pool of 100 and 95 engorged Phlebotomus papatasi females collected in colonies of great gerbils in June and August, 1979, in the Kirov district, Turkmenia. According to the results of previous investigations, the human population and great gerbils in this areas were frequently found to have antibody to Isfahan virus. The strains were identified by complement fixation, indirect immunofluorescence, indirect hemagglutination tests and neutralization by the plaque reduction technique. The viruses are held by filters with pore diameter less than 100 nm, are destroyed by sodium deoxycholate, at the state of reproduction are not sensitive to 5-brom-2-deoxyuridine.
User-web interactions

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

User-Web interactions have emerged as an important research in the field of information science. In this study, we examine extensively the Web searching performed by general users. Our goal is to investigate the effects of users’ cognitive styles on their Web search behavior in relation to two broad components: Information Searching and Information Processing Approaches. We use questionnaires, a measure of cognitive style, Web session logs and think-aloud as the data collection instruments. Our study findings show wholistic Web users tend to adopt a top-down approach to Web searching, where the users searched for a generic topic, and then reformulate their queries to search for specific information. They tend to prefer reading to process information. Analytic users tend to prefer a bottom-up approach to information searching and they process information by scanning search result pages.
In Situ Regulation of Macrophage Polarization to Enhance Osseointegration Under Diabetic Conditions Using Injectable Silk/Sitagliptin Gel Scaffolds

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Abstract As a chronic inflammatory disease, diabetes mellitus creates a proinflammatory microenvironment around implants, resulting in a high rate of implant loosening or failure in osteological therapies. In this study, macroporous silk gel scaffolds are injected at the bone–implant interface for in situ release of sitagliptin that can regulate macrophage response to create a prohealing microenvironment in diabetes mellitus disease. Notably, it is discovered that sitagliptin induces macrophage polarization to the M2 phenotype and alleviates the impaired behaviors of osteoblasts on titanium (Ti) implants under diabetic conditions in a dose‐dependent manner. The silk gel scaffolds loaded with sitagliptin elicite a stronger recruitment of M2 macrophages to the sites of Ti implants and a significant promotion of osteointegration, as compared to oral sitagliptin administration. The results suggest that injectable silk/sitagliptin gel scaffolds can be utilized to modulate the immune responses at the bone–implant interface, thus enhancing bone regeneration required for successful implantation of orthopedic and dental devices in diabetic patients.
Julia Margaret Cameron’s ‘fancy subjects’: Photographic allegories of Victorian identity and empire

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Julia Margaret Cameron's 'fancy subjects' is the first study of Cameron's allegorical photographs and the first to examine the intellectual connections of this imagery to British culture and politics of the 1860s and 1870s. In these photographs, Cameron depicted passages from classical mythology, the Old and New Testament, and historical and contemporary literature. She costumed her friends, domestic help, and village children in dramatic poses, turning them into goddesses and nymphs, biblical kings and medieval knights; she photographed young women in the style of the Elgin marbles, making sculpture come alive, and re-imagined scenes depicted in the poetry of Byron and Tennyson. Cameron chose allegory as her primary artistic device because it allowed her to use popular iconography to convey a latent or secondary meaning. In her photographs, a primary meaning is first conveyed by the title of the image; then, social and political ideas that the artist implanted in the image begin to emerge, contributing to and commenting on the contemporary cultural, religious and political debates of the time

The title dinuclear compound, [Ag2Cl2(C10H9N)4], has C2 symmetry. The AgI ion is coordinated by two methyl­isoquinoline mol­ecules and two Cl− anions with a distorted tetra­hedral geometry. The distance of 3.0630 (9) Å between the two Ag atoms suggests the existence of an Ag—Ag bonding inter­action within the dinuclear complex mol­ecule.
Optimization of Hydroformed Exhaust Gas Recirculation Tube under Vibrational Load by Finite Element Analysis

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">This study emphasizes the importance of CAE approach in optimizing EGR tube under vibrational load. EGR tube is a weak link in the EGR system and chances of failure due to vibration and relative displacement of mating parts, i.e., overhang or improper support at exhaust manifold, intake manifold, or EGR system. Consideration of the mating parts for the EGR tube is very important to get the realistic resonance frequencies, otherwise it could have some different results in the CAE, which will deviate from the reality. So, it’s important to study the dynamic response on the EGR tube, which needs to be taken care during the design phase. This paper aims to optimize the EGR tube under vibrational load by using CAE techniques and the industry experience as a product expertise. some critical parameter such as damping is very important during the CAE, which can be generated by doing the rigorous testing and how it affects the stress and correspondingly FOS. CAE model of EGR tube is created on which modal and harmonic response analysis is made. The natural frequency and stresses in the EGR tube are assessed by using CAE Tool ANSYS Mechanical. Using the CAE result observations, the changes in design of the EGR tube is done to improve its design. The design of EGR tube is improved by changing thickness, hydroformed corrugations, materials, or using different brackets. The CAE model results is also correlated with the testing results on electrodynamic shaker. EGR tube is assembled on the shaker with engine mating components having the same orientation as on vehicle. The shaker is used to find resonance frequency and to carry durability testing of the EGR tube. The results obtained from CAE model and testing are compared and found satisfactory. All the above efforts enable analysts to make the first time right design.</div></div>
The Relationship and Impact of Communication on Change Management

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Due to the fast pace of life, advent of new factors may affect the flow of project management processes from the first step of project initiation to final step of project closure. Examples of these factors are the advent of new technology, the emergence of new competitors, and the need for quality improvement. As a result, the implementation of change management is crucial to overcome the negative aspects of these new factors. During the time of change management implementation, a certain level of communication management must exist. So, it is imperative to find the relationship and impact of communication on change management to ensure how to effectively choose the appropriate communication strategy, level, and channels in implementing a change in project environment. This study uses the PMI 2017 body of knowledge book to ensure that the change management process includes the planning, managing, and controlling phases of communication in the change processes.
Supplementation of paprika as a carotenoid source in soft-dry pellets for broodstock yellowtail Seriola quinqueradiata (Temminck & Schlegel)

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

This study was carried out to investigate whether readily available paprika can replace astaxanthin as a source of carotenoids in soft-dry pellets for broodstock yellowtail Seriola quinqueradiata (Temminck & Schlegel). Five months prior to spawning, 120 fish of average body weight (BW) 6.2 ± 1.5 kg were divided into three groups and fed basal soft-dry pellets (SDP), SDP supplemented with 30 mg/kg astaxanthin (a-SDP), or SDP supplemented with 2% paprika (p-SDP). Feeding was carried out in floating net cages and two spawning trials were performed. Fish were selected (five male and five female per group per trial), injected with human chorionic gonadotropin (600 IU kg−1 fish) and transferred to 100 m3 indoor concrete tanks for spawning. In trial 1, egg production during the first day of spawning was highest for the p-SDP group, followed by the a-SDP and SDP groups. For the p-SDP, a-SDP and SDP groups, fertilization rates were 76.0%, 69.7% and 61.9% and hatching rates were 75.2%, 63.9% and 59.4%, respectively. In trial 2, fertilization rates were 80.9%, 78.0% and 86.8% and hatching rates followed the same trend as in trial 1, at 61.8%, 52.9% and 37.2%, respectively. Moreover, larvae of the p-SDP groups showed better survival at day 3 after hatching. Apart from the darker yellow colour of fertilized eggs of the astaxanthin or paprika supplemented diet groups, analysis showed that carotenoids from paprika were successfully incorporated into the eggs, mainly as zeaxanthin and lutein. Paprika supplementation did not affect the fatty acid and lipid class profiles of eggs and unfed larvae. These results indicate that paprika supplementation in soft-dry pellets is effective for good quality egg production in yellowtail.

Field: Veterinary (Health Sciences)

ABSTRACT: An epidemiological survey was carried out by performing an Enzyme Linked Immuno Sorbent Assay (ELISA) test to determine the seroprevalence of Pythium insidiosum infection in equine in Rio Grande do Sul State (RS), Brazil. The serological study covered seven geographical regions of RS, classified according to the Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (IBGE). The samples were obtained from official veterinary service (Serviço Veterinário Oficial, SVO) linked to the Secretaria da Agricultura, Pecuária e Agronegócio of RS (SEAPA-RS) to proceed the investigation of equine infectious anemia in 2014. Samples were collected during the months of September and October of 2013, covering the seven geographical regions of RS, and totalized 1,002 serum samples. The seroprevalence for P. insidiosum in RS was 11.1% (CI95% 9.23 to 13.22). The relative risk (RR) of the presence of antibodies anti-P. insidiosum was in the regions Southeast 11.17 (CI95%, 4.65 to 26.8), Porto Alegre 4.62 (CI95%, 1.70 to 12.55), Southwest 11.17 (CI95%, 4.65 to 26.8) and Northwestern 3.72 (CI95%, 1.52 to 9.09). The highest prevalence (69.1%) was observed in females with RR of 1.59 (CI95%, 1.11 to 2.27). When the presence of dams was evaluated, the seropositivity was evident in 74.4%, presenting an association of 2.13 (CI95%, 1.16 to 3.91) compared to farms without dams. In properties with veterinary assistance, the frequency of 72.7% and RR of 3.04 (CI95%,, 1,85 to 4,98) of seropositivity were observed. Due to the importance of pythiosis in horse herds, this study highlights the presence of anti-P. insidiosum antibodies in horses in RS, Brazil.
Comparison of decomposition rate of hind limbs of preserved mice with ethanol-glycerin and formaldehyde of advanced fixative solution

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Learning anatomy in medical school is still closely based on the use of cadavers. The burial of preserved cadaver poses a problem, specifically, it contaminates the soil with formalin. Many studies have been conducted to find an alternative fixative to update or modify formalin usage. One of them is ethanol-glycerin (EG), which suggests promising results. Despite that fact, there has yet to be any research comparing the decomposition rate between EG and formalin. This study is conducted to compare the rate of decomposition between the two fixative solutions, EG and 4% formalin on the hind limb of mice. The mice were first preserved using a standard primary fixative solution which is 10% formalin, following that procedure is preservation using advanced fixative solution, EG or 4% formalin. Upon completing the preservation steps, the mice were buried for 6 weeks and observed weekly. The stages of decomposition were assessed semi-quantitatively depending on its appearance. The hind limbs of mice that were fixed with EG solution managed to reach the last stage of decomposition, dry & remains, while the 4% formalin group of mice still remained in the previous stage, advanced decay. It is concluded that the mice hind limbs that have been previously preserved with EG advanced fixative solution has a faster decomposition rate compared to 4% formalin.

Leaf micronutrient concentrations and potential photosynthesis in Ochroma pyramidale established in a degraded land

Field: Agricultural and Biological Sciences (Life Sciences)

In the Brazilian Amazon, large areas of abandoned lands may revert to secondary forest. In the process, pioneer tree species have an important role to restore productivity in old fields and improve environmental conditions. To determine potential photosynthesis (Apot), stomatal conductance (g), transpiration (E), and leaf micronutrient concentrations in Ochroma pyramidale (Cav. ex Lam.) Urban a study was carried out in the Brazilian Amazon (01o 51' S; 60o 04' W). Photosynthetic parameters were measured at increasing [CO2], saturating light intensity (1 mmol (photons) m-2 s-1), and ambient temperature. The rate of electron-transport (J), Apot,and water-use efficiency (WUE) increased consistently at increasing internal CO2 concentration (Ci). Conversely, increasing [CO2] decreased gs, E, and photorespiration (Pr). At the CO2-saturated region of the CO2 response curve (1.1 mmol (CO2) mol-1(air), J was 120 μmol (e-) m-2s-1 and Apot reached up to 24 μmol (CO2) m-2s-1. Likewise, at saturating C1 g and E were 30 and 1.4 mmol (H2O) m-2s-1, respectively, and P 2 r about 1.5 μmol (CO2) m-2s-1. Foliar nutrients were 185, 134, 50, and 10 μmol (element) m-2 (leaf area) for Fe, Mn, Zn, and Cu, respectively. It was concluded that [CO ] probably limits light saturated photosynthesis in this site. Furthermore, from a nutritional point of view, the low Fe to Cu ratio (15:1) may reflect nutritional imbalance in O. pyramidale at this site.
