Geometric Flows, Ming-Liang Cai Apr 2016

Geometric Flows, Ming-Liang Cai

Mathematics Colloquium Series

A geometric flow is a process which is defined by a differential equation and is used to evolve a geometric object from a general shape to a one with more symmetries. For example, the curve-shortening flow deforms a simple closed curve to a round one ; the Ricci flow deforms a simply connected surface (say, a football shaped one) to a round sphere. In this talk, we will give an overview of some of these geometric flows, in particular, some discussions on singularities that these flows often run into.

Data-Adaptive Inference Of The Optimal Treatment Rule And Its Mean Reward. The Masked Bandit, Antoine Chambaz, Wenjing Zheng, Mark J. Van Der Laan Apr 2016

Data-Adaptive Inference Of The Optimal Treatment Rule And Its Mean Reward. The Masked Bandit, Antoine Chambaz, Wenjing Zheng, Mark J. Van Der Laan

U.C. Berkeley Division of Biostatistics Working Paper Series

This article studies the data-adaptive inference of an optimal treatment rule. A treatment rule is an individualized treatment strategy in which treatment assignment for a patient is based on her measured baseline covariates. Eventually, a reward is measured on the patient. We also infer the mean reward under the optimal treatment rule. We do so in the so called non-exceptional case, i.e., assuming that there is no stratum of the baseline covariates where treatment is neither beneficial nor harmful, and under a companion margin assumption.

Our pivotal estimator, whose definition hinges on the targeted minimum loss estimation (TMLE) principle, actually …


Mist Injection Causes High Co2 Capture In Wastewater Stream, Sanjev Jolly Apr 2016

Mist Injection Causes High Co2 Capture In Wastewater Stream, Sanjev Jolly

CO2 Summit II: Technologies and Opportunities

Enviro Ambient specializes in a multi-pollutant emission reduction control process where several pollutants like NOx, SOx, halogens and heavy metals including mercury are reduced simultaneously. The process involves injecting two strong oxidants – ozone and hydrogen peroxide – in the flue gas stream and converting the pollutants into water soluble compounds, which are then precipitated out of the flue gases via condensation process by injecting very fine water droplets. The condensed acids are then collected as wastewater for neutralization and further treatment depending upon local wastewater discharge requirements. The results were successfully demonstrated for natural gas and coal-fired units at …

Résistance Des Matériaux De Protection Aux Agresseurs Mécaniques Multiples : Coupure Et Perforation Simultanées, Ennouri Triki, Phuong Nguyen-Tri, Meriam Azaiez, Toan Vu-Khanh, Chantal Gauvin Apr 2016

Résistance Des Matériaux De Protection Aux Agresseurs Mécaniques Multiples : Coupure Et Perforation Simultanées, Ennouri Triki, Phuong Nguyen-Tri, Meriam Azaiez, Toan Vu-Khanh, Chantal Gauvin

Rapports de recherche scientifique

Les lacérations de type perforation et coupure représentent une part importante des blessures aux mains dans plusieurs milieux de travail. Les agresseurs mécaniques comme la pointe d’un couteau, des échardes de métal, des pièces mal ébavurées ou des éclats de verre peuvent être très diversifiés et constituer des risques multiples. Le port de gants de protection contribue à réduire ces risques. Cependant, les gants n’offrent pas toujours une résistance adéquate pour tous les types d’agresseurs. Puisqu’il n’y a pas de corrélation entre les résistances à la coupure, à la perforation et à la piqûre, par exemple, un matériau …

Big Changes For Small Noncovalent Dimers: Revisiting The Potential Energy Surfaces Of (P2)2 And (Pccp)2 With Ccsd(T) Optimizations And Vibrational Frequencies, Eric Van Dornshuld, Gregory S. Tschumper Apr 2016

Big Changes For Small Noncovalent Dimers: Revisiting The Potential Energy Surfaces Of (P2)2 And (Pccp)2 With Ccsd(T) Optimizations And Vibrational Frequencies, Eric Van Dornshuld, Gregory S. Tschumper

Chemistry Faculty Research & Creative Works

This article details the re-examination of low-lying stationary points on the potential energy surfaces (PESs) of two challenging noncovalent homogeneous dimers, (P2)2 and (PCCP)2. The work was motivated by the rather large differences between MP2 and CCSD(T) energetics that were recently reported for these systems (J. Comput. Chem. 2014, 35, 479-487). The current investigation reveals significant qualitative and quantitative changes when the CCSD(T) method is used to characterize the stationary points instead of MP2. For example, CCSD(T) optimizations and harmonic vibrational frequency computations with the aug-cc-pVTZ basis set indicate that the parallel-slipped (PS) structure is …
