A Compendious Review Of Majorization-Based Resource Theories: Quantum Information And Quantum Thermodynamics, Gökhan Torun, Onur Pusuluk, Özgür Esat Müstecaplioğlu

Turkish Journal of Physics

The field of quantum resource theory (QRT) has emerged as an invaluable framework for the examination of small and strongly correlated quantum systems, surpassing the boundaries imposed by traditional statistical treatments. The fundamental objective of general QRTs is to characterize these systems by precisely quantifying the level of control attainable to an experimenter. In this review article, we refrain from providing an exhaustive summary of the extensive literature on QRT. Rather, our focus centers on a specific subliterature founded upon the theory of majorization. The primary aim is to augment our comprehension of genuine quantum phenomena manifested across diverse technological …

Development And Benchmark Of A 1d3v Electrostatic Pic/Mcc Numerical Code For Gas Discharge Simulations, İbrahi̇m Arda, İsmai̇l Rafatov

Turkish Journal of Physics

Gas discharge plasmas are low-temperature nonequilibrium plasmas that have a wide range of scientific and technological applications. The particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo collision (PIC/MCC) method is a reliable approach for numerical analyses and simulations of such plasmas. In this study, we first provide a detailed description of the basics of this method. We then verify the programme code that we developed in Fortran by benchmarking the code against a widely referred reference study simulating a radiofrequency capacitively coupled plasma (RFCCP) in helium for various discharge conditions. We show that the results of the present study are in good agreement with that of …

Deep-Learning-Based Image Segmentation For Image-Based Computational Hemodynamic Analysis Of Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: A Comparison Study, Zonghan Lyu, Kristin King, Mostafa Rezaeitaleshmahalleh, Drew Pienta, Nan Mu, Chen Zhao, Weihua Zhou, Jingfeng Jiang

Michigan Tech Publications

Computational hemodynamics is increasingly used to quantify hemodynamic characteristics in and around abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) in a patient-specific fashion. However, the time-consuming manual annotation hinders the clinical translation of computational hemodynamic analysis. Thus, we investigate the feasibility of using deep-learning-based image segmentation methods to reduce the time required for manual segmentation. Two of the latest deep-learning-based image segmentation methods, ARU-Net and CACU-Net, were used to test the feasibility of automated computer model creation for computational hemodynamic analysis. Morphological features and hemodynamic metrics of 30 computed tomography angiography (CTA) scans were compared between pre-dictions and manual models. The DICE score …

(2019) The Relationship Between Hegemonic Masculinity And Multicultural Competence In Male Counselors, Erik Braun, Madeline Clark, George Armitage

Louisiana Journal of Counseling

The purpose of this study was to explore hegemonic masculinity, an expression of the male identity whereby value is placed on attitudes and behaviors which may be destructive, and Multicultural Competence (MCC) in male counselors. Data were collected using the Multicultural Counseling Knowledge and Awareness Scale (MCKAS; Ponterotto, et al., 2002) and the Male Norm Roles Inventory (MRNI-SF; Levant, Hall, & Rankin, 2013). Hierarchical Linear Regression (HLR) and correlational analyses were used. Results support that hegemonic masculine attitudes are negatively related to MCC, and sexual identity is related to hegemonic masculine attitudes and MCC.

Intrusion Detection: Machine Learning Techniques For Software Defined Networks, Jacob S. Rodriguez

Masters Theses

In recent years, software defined networking (SDN) has gained popularity as a novel approach towards network management and architecture. Compared to traditional network architectures, this software-based approach offers greater flexibility, programmability, and automation. However, despite the advantages of this system, there still remains the possibility that it could be compromised. As we continue to explore new approaches to network management, we must also develop new ways of protecting those systems from threats. Throughout this paper, I will describe and test a network intrusion detection system (NIDS), and how it can be implemented within a software defined network. This system will …

Recommended Separation Distances For 1.3 Ammunition And Explosives, Clint Guymon, Ming Liu, Josephine Covino

Faculty Publications

Separation Distances are used throughout the world to protect people and assets from the potential hazardous effects from propellants, explosives, and pyrotechnics. The current separation distances for Hazard Division (HD) 1.3 substances and articles used in the United States, in some cases, may not adequately protect against the effects from heat flux and debris when those substances and articles are ignited in a confined structure. Multiple tests in such a confined scenario with HD 1.3 substances have shown that the heat flux and debris hazards could result in injury at distances beyond the current specified explosives safety separation distance (ESSD). …
