Kernel-Based Continuous-Time System Identification: A Parametric Approximation

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

<p>In this paper, we discuss the non-parametric estimate problem using kernel-based LTI system identification techniques by constructing a Loewner-based interpolant of the estimated model. Through this framework, we have been able to retrieve a finite-dimensional approximation of the infinite-dimensional estimate obtained using the classical kernel-based methodologies. The employment of the Loewner framework constitutes an enhancement of recent results which propose to use a Padé approximant to obtain a rational transfer function from an irrational transfer function corresponding to the identified impulse response. The enhancement has been illustrated for the identification of the Rao-Garnier benchmark.</p>
Twenty‐five year survival of chronic granulocytic leukaemia with spontaneous karyotype conversion

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

S ummary. Following busulphan‐induced bone marrow hypoplasia a woman with chronic granulocytic leukaemia has survived 25 years from diagnosis. Since the last course of busulphan therapy in 1959 she has remained in clinical and haematological remission. Repeated cytogenetic analysis of bone marrow showed Philadelphia chromosome mosaicism with a minority of abnormal metaphases till 1969. Analysis of 150 metaphases in 1982 revealed no cells containing the Philadelphia chromosome. The possible significance of this spontaneous karyotype conversion is discussed.

QTL Study Design from an Information Perspective

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

We examine the efficiency of different genotyping and phenotyping strategies in inbred line crosses from an information perspective. This provides a mathematical framework for the statistical aspects of QTL experimental design, while guiding our intuition. Our central result is a simple formula that quantifies the fraction of missing information of any genotyping strategy in a backcross. It includes the special case of selectively genotyping only the phenotypic extreme individuals. The formula is a function of the square of the phenotype, and the uncertainty in our knowledge of the genotypes at a locus. This result is used to answer a variety of questions. First, we examine the cost-information tradeoff varying the density of markers, and the proportion of extreme phenotypic individuals genotyped. Then we evaluate the information content of selective phenotyping designs and the impact of measurement error in phenotyping. A simple formula quantifies the information content of any combined phenotyping and genotyping design. We extend our results to cover multi-genotype crosses such as the F2 intercross, and multiple QTL models. We find that when the QTL effect is small, any contrast in a multi-genotype cross benefits from selective genotyping in the same manner as in a backcross. The benefit remains in the presence of a second unlinked QTL with small effect (explaining less than 20% of the variance), but diminishes if the second QTL has a large effect. Software for performing power calculations for backcross and F2 intercross incorporating selective genotyping and marker spacing is available [in related files].
Investigations of point defect and interface in cg-N under high-pressure

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

The properties of cg-N with point defects and an interface are investigated based on the first-principles method. Our results show that at 0 GPa, the stability of cavities depends on their size. A smaller cavity has higher stability than the larger case. The decomposition of N2 molecules mainly occurs on the (110) surface of the cavity. However, the decomposition process will be suppressed by applying high-pressure. For the interface constructed by (110) surfaces, N2 molecules will be released at low pressure, and polymerization of N2 molecules with surfaces is triggered by loading pressures of 80–100 Gpa, giving rise to a stable polymerized interface, which is also stable after decreasing the pressure to 0 GPa. The results indicate that the existence of polymeric nitrogen networks can enhance the polymerization of N2 molecules at low-temperature.
Exploring the Effects of Science Writing Heuristic Approach on 8th Grade Students Metacognition

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The purpose of this study was to explore the effects of Science Writing Heuristic (SWH) approach on middle school students' metacognition. For this purpose, a quasi-experimental research design, the non-equivalent control group post-test only design was used with the aim to compare the experimental and the comparison groups mean difference with respect to dependent variables. 60 eight grade students with a mean age of 14 years in two classes selected from one public school in an urban area. One class was randomly assigned as a treatment group and the other was assigned as a comparison group. Treatment group was instructed by using SWH approach on the other hand; comparison group was instructed with curriculum oriented instruction by using traditional laboratory activities. Metacognitive Awareness Inventory (MAI; Schraw & Dennison, 1994) was used to determine students' metacognition. To investigate the effect of the treatment on the dependent variables One-way Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was utilized. No statistically significant mean difference was found between the two groups regarding MAI scores before the treatment. Post-MAI results revealed that there was a statistically significant mean difference between the experimental and the comparison group, in favor of the experimental group. The treatment method, the science writing heuristic approach, had large effect on declarative knowledge, planning, information management and debugging dimensions of metacognition while had medium effect on monitoring and evaluation dimensions. Differences in procedural knowledge and conditional knowledge dimensions did not reach statistical significance.
Exploring the suitability of artificial intelligence for establishing criteria for prequalification of highway contractors in Sri Lanka

Field: Decision Sciences (Social Sciences)

The extent of the successfulness of a construction project is highly influential on the selected contractor. The decision process has been made easier for the client with the use of prequalification. The selection criteria used for the prequalification are characterized by the co-existence of both quantitative and qualitative information. Therefore in such scenario, it become difficult to analyze the information by decision maker due to the complexity bound to the process. Hence, to improve the reliability and efficiency of the decision being made, it is essential to identify suitable decision support system for the process. The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques to the prequalification process helps to eliminate the complexity on the decision making of the prequalification process. This research demonstrates the practicality and the suitability on adopting Artificial Neural Network (ANN), Case-based Reasoning (CBR) and Knowledge Based Experts Systems (KBES) to the highway contractor prequalification in Sri Lanka. Therefore, the findings of this research conclude that with the help on identified prequalification model and the identified AI techniques, Sri Lanka can have an effective and efficient mechanism on Highway contractor prequalification.

Identification List of Binaries

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Abstract The Identification List of Binaries (ILB) is a star catalogue constructed to facilitate cross-referencing between different catalogues of binary stars. As of 2015, it comprises designations for approximately 120 000 double/multiple systems. ILB contains star coordinates and cross-references to the Bayer/Flemsteed, DM (BD/CD/CPD), HD, HIP, ADS, WDS, CCDM, TDSC, GCVS, SBC9, IGR (and some other X-ray catalogues), PSR designations, as well as identifications in the recently developed BSDB system. ILB eventually became a part of the BDB stellar database.
Facilitators and Barriers of Autistic Students’ Experiences: An Exploratory Thematic Analysis

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

Autistic and neurodivergent students are graduating from high school and entering postsecondary education at increasing rates; it is estimated that 1-2% of all postsecondary students in the US meet criteria for autism, and even more have other neurodivergent conditions like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), learning disabilities, and psychiatric disabilities. This growing student population has unique needs, challenges, and experiences in higher education. Increasingly, colleges and universities are offering disability services and other dedicated supports to meet the needs of autistic and neurodivergent students. However, most of the research on these students’ experiences comes from the perspective of parents, educators, administrators, and other professionals, rather than from the students themselves. Additionally, most research focuses on deficits and challenges, with little research exploring positive aspects of campus life for disabled students. This thesis centers student perspectives on strategies to promote success and satisfaction in higher education. Responses were collected from a national online survey of enrolled autistic and neurodivergent students across the United States conducted in 2019. The survey included qualitative questions on positive and negative aspects of students’ college life. Using thematic analysis, I identified facilitators, barriers, and resources that impact neurodivergent students’ experiences. Key facilitators included opportunities for exploration and personal growth and relationships with mentors, peers, and communities, while key barriers included disability-related discrimination, mental health, and socialization. Accommodations emerged as both a facilitator and barrier. Students also reported using academic support resources more frequently and effectively than specific disability resources. This research has implications for student support programs, especially accommodations and disability services, and can be used to direct students toward effective resources and strategies for navigating higher education.
Clinical impact of early clopidogrel discontinuation following acute myocardial infarction hospitalization or stent implantation: analysis in a nationally representative managed-care population

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Within a population of ACS patients drawn from a database of 85 US health plans, clopidogrel discontinuation within 1 year following hospitalization for AMI or stent placement is associated with an increased risk of AMI hospitalization or coronary intervention. The results of this study should be interpreted within the context of observational research, which does not address cause and effect relationships.

Field: Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics (Life Sciences)

Cell cultures under study promising for biotechnology provided the high virus output hut differed from each other by the moment of reaching the maximum titers and the time of keeping them steady at the same conditions of cultivation and inoculation. Human diploid cell culture L-68 possessed high productivity and sensitivity to measles virus infection, and could be used to improve the technique of live measles vaccine production. There were no differences in the measles virus morphogenesis and production level between various passages of the human diploid cell culture L-68, which allowed to use this culture in the passage level range recommended by the WHO for immunologicals production.
A Spectral--Geometric Proof of the Riemann Hypothesis via Dirac Spectra on G₂ Manifolds

Field: Mathematics (Physical Sciences)

Abstract We establish the following result:The Riemann zeta functionζ(s) = ∑_(n=1)^∞ n^(-s), (s ∈ C, Re s > 1)All non-trivial zeros of this function satisfy Re s = 1/2. This research employs a spectral-geometric methodology:Initially, we construct a compact, boundaryless seven-dimensional G₂ manifold, denoted as M₇ = CY₃ × S¹. Subsequently, we demonstrate that at the parameter Λ = 7, ζ_(D_7) (s) can be decomposed as:ζ_(D_7) (s) = (4π)^(-3)/Γ(s) ∑(k=0)^∞ [a_k/Γ(s+k-3)] + 2(L/2π)^s ζ(s), (s ∈ C) Here, the set of non-trivial zeros of ζ_(D_7) (s) and ζ(s) exhibit a one-to-one correspondence. Furthermore, we establish that the geometric critical lines on this manifold and the Dirac spectrum maintain a one-to-one correspondence with the critical line of ζ(s). By implementing the Jackiw-Rebbi domain wall mechanism, the eigenfunctions corresponding to the zeros of ζ are confined to a codimension-1 slice. Under the natural Hitchin flow coordinates, this slice precisely maps to the critical line Re s = 1/2. Integrating these key findings, we present a comprehensive proof of the Riemann Hypothesis. Note:This research was conducted independently by the author. The work is subject to ongoing refinement. As the author is a native Chinese speaker, to ensure precision, it need to be completed in Chinese and the final version will be completed in English. Prior to the completion of the final version, it is not feasible for the author to translate each preprint version into English.

The Medieval Entry Ceremony at Paris

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

The aim of this article is to reconstruct, to the degree that it can be done, the meanings that the medieval entries of rulers into Paris had for the people who staged and acted in them. The base of the study is the Parisian receptions for kings listed in table 6.1.1 This table represents the "processual units," to take Victor Turner's concept, from which one can analyze the dynamics of the interaction between spontaneous communitas and the structural parts of social existence.2 Each reception and entry of a king was a "social drama," and the sum of these performances over time supplied interested parties with the materials for constructing a ceremonial tradition and for representing models of political society.
Maternal transfer of selenium in Alligator mississippiensis nesting downstream from a coal-burning power plant

Field: Environmental Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Selenium (Se) is embryotoxic in many oviparous vertebrates, but little is known about maternal transfer of Se and its impact in reptiles. Over a four-year period, we collected three clutches of eggs of the American alligator (Alligator mississippiensis) from a single nest at a site contaminated with Se and compared egg and hatchling Se concentrations and clutch viability from this nest to nests downstream from the contaminated site (two clutches from two nests) and at a reference site (two clutches from two nests). Eggs and hatchlings from the nest at the Se-contaminated site and downstream nests had elevated Se concentrations (2.1–7.8 ppm) and lower viability (30–54%) compared to reference nests (1.4–2.3 ppm and 67–74% viability), but Se concentrations did not exceed reproductive toxicity thresholds established for other oviparous vertebrates. Selenium concentrations were higher in chorioallantoic membranes of eggs from Se-contaminated sites, suggesting that this tissue may be useful as a nondestructive index of Se exposure for embryos of A. mississippiensis. Examination of these data suggests that further studies on uptake, accumulation, and reproductive success of crocodilian embryos exposed to excessive Se are warranted.

Water resources of the Roseau River Watershed, Northwestern Minnesota

Field: Earth and Planetary Sciences (Physical Sciences)

The drainage area of the Roseau River consists of 2,060 square miles above its confluence with the Red River of the North. About 1,150 square miles lie in the United States and 910 square miles in Canada. This report deals only with that portion within the United States, except for a detailed analysis of low flow characteristics of tributary streams. Most of the area is within Roseau County, but small portions are in Marshall, Beltrami, Lake of the Woods, and Kittson Counties. Most of the watershed has little relief, and lies entirely within the plain of former Glacial Lake Agassiz. However, the flat topography of this lake washed till plain is broken by beach ridges in its southwestern part and Beltrami Island, a topographic high underlain by sand, in tis southeastern part. Population within the watershed is about 8000. The town of Roseau, the largest community, has a population of 2146 (1960). The watershed has an agricultural economy. Spring wheat, oats, and bluegrass seed are the three most important crops in the area, but many other small grains, legumes, and grasses are also grown. Dairy farming and sheep raising are the most important types of livestock production and for many farms stock is the major sources of income. Large areas of the watershed are peat lands, covered with shrubs, marsh grasslands, and spruce, tamarack, and cedar trees. Forest vegetation in the remainder of the area is largely aspen, but oak is common on the beach ridges and jack pine is common on Beltrami Island. Outdoor recreation in the area is primarily hunting of deer, small game, and waterfowl. This report is a general appraisal of the water resources in the Roseau River watershed unit. Detailed studies of water movement through the ground-water reservoir are needed for more exact determination of the amount of water immediately available and the specific effects of water-management practices.
The benefits and drawbacks of coopetition on the performance of SMEs

Field: Business, Management and Accounting (Social Sciences)

Coopetition is defined as the simultaneously pursuit of cooperation and competition, and in fast-changing business environment coopetitive interactions in supply management are being found common. Therefore coopetitive interactions draw the attention of many researchers. However, there is still not a research yet that addresses the impact of coopetitive interactions especially for the innovative small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
Thus this paper is dedicated to investigate the impact of coopetitive interactions on the performance of the innovative SMEs. And by the method of literature review, which means reviewing other relevant academic papers, a framework is presented here, in order to show the benefits as well as drawbacks of the coopetitive interactions on SMEs based on the previous studies.
Generally, in this paper the benefits and drawbacks found are concerned about the new product development, the present value, competitive advantage and customer perception and relationship. Moreover, in literature review and discussion part, more detailed aspects of those categorizations of benefits and drawbacks will be studied. Finally, the relationships between tensions and the negative impact of coopetitive interactions will be explained, and thus few strategies regarding how to mitigate those negative impacts will be discussed.
ATM-dependent DNA Damage-independent Mitotic Phosphorylation of H2AX in Normally Growing Mammalian Cells

Field: Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology (Life Sciences)

H2AX is a core histone H2A variant that contains an absolutely conserved serine/glutamine (SQ) motif within an extended carboxy-terminal tail. H2AX phosphorylation at the SQ motif (γ-H2AX) has been shown to increase dramatically upon exogenously introduced DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). In this study, we use quantitative in situ approaches to investigate the spatial patterning and cell cycle dynamics of γ-H2AX in a panel of normally growing (unirradiated) mammalian cell lines and cultures. We provide the first evidence for the existence of two distinct yet highly discernible γ-H2AX focal populations: a small population of large amorphous foci that colocalize with numerous DNA DSB repair proteins and previously undescribed but much more abundant small foci. These small foci do not recruit proteins involved in DNA DSB repair. Cell cycle analyses reveal unexpected dynamics for γ-H2AX in unirradiated mammalian cells that include an ATM-dependent phosphorylation that is maximal during M phase. Based upon similarities drawn from other histone posttranslational modifications and previous observations in haploinsufficient (H2AX -/+ ) and null mice (H2AX -/- ), γ-H2AX may contribute to the fidelity of the mitotic process, even in the absence of DNA damage, thereby ensuring the faithful transmission of genetic information from one generation to the next.
