The Application of ARIMA Model to VN-INDEX Forecast
No full textThe stock market always attracts organisations and individuals because of its high capability of profit generation. Factors affecting the Vietnam market are diverse and unpredictable. Besides, the behaviour factor controls most of the market fluctuation. Therefore, the forecast of Vn Index has met with difficulties. ARIMA is a efficient and popular tool to forecast the data in time chain like Vn Index. Forecasting the ups and downs of Vn Index helps investors acquire the fluctuating trend of stocks to plan their strategies appropriately. In this paper, the author focuses on forecasting the Vn Index in the short term using ARIMA model with Box-Jenkins methods in 4 steps: identifying, estimating, testing as well as forecasting,and gives advice to investors in applying ARIMA
THE PURE ROTATIONAL SPECTRA OF VN (X ) and VO (X )
No full textAuthor Institution: Department of Chemistry, Department of Astronomy, Steward Observatory, University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ 85721The pure rotational spectra of VN (X ) and VO (X ) in their ground electronic states have been recorded in the frequency range 295-525 GHz. In each case, seven rotational transitions were measured. Fine structure and vanadium hyperfine splittings were resolved in these data. These radicals were produced by reacting gas-phase VCl with N (VN) or residual O (VO) in an AC discharge. Rotational, fine, and hyperfine constants were determined. In particular, the hyperfine constants \textit{a}, \textit{b}, and \textit{c} for VN have been established from a global fit to the spectra. The parameters obtained are in good agreement with previous studies
FOURIER TRANSFORM EMISSION SPECTROSCOPY OF NEW ELECTRONIC TRANSITIONS OF VN AND VO
No full textAuthor Institution: University of Arizona; Department of Chemistry, University of Waterloo; Department of Chemistry, University of CaliforniaThe emission spectra of VN and VO have been investigated in the region using a Fourier transform spectrometer. The spectra of both these species were observed in the same experiment from the microwave excitation of vapor in active nitrogen. Several new bands were observed and assigned to new electronic transitions of VN and VO. For VN, two new electronic transitions were observed with their 0-0 bands near and . These transitions have been assigned as the and transitions, respectively. The state of VN is the only known singlet state to date which was seen previously from the , transition near by Simard et al. [J. Mol. Spectrosc. 136,44 (1989)]. For VO, the transition near has been observed for the first time, although the and states have previously been seen by Merer et al. [J. Mol. Spectrosc. 125, 465, (1987)] from other transitions. A rotational analysis of the new bands provides valuable information on the low-lying electronic states of VN and VO

Identifying and validating recurrent structural variants affecting tumor genomes using GROM and VN
No full textStructural variants (SVs), large genomic alterations, are often responsible for tumor development. Most studies focus on single-nucleotide mutations and leave SVs aside due to the difficulties in their analysis. Here, we have utilized the result of a recent effort to sequence a cohort of patients with multiple myeloma. We used two main computational tools to locate and visualize SVs after comparing two different genomes (normal and tumor). The first one was the Genome Rearrangement OmniMapper (GROM), a variant caller with superior speed, sensitivity, and precision used to identify the variants. The second tool was the Variant Navigator (VN) to visually examine the reads and compare SVs in tumor samples with corresponding normal samples; this tool is more convenient than other popular ones as it collects multiple SVs from a single sample in a data table and allows us to efficiently go through the data. Visualization of the variants enables us to validate the type and location of mutation, and genes overlapping or near the variant. We found many common SVs present in tumor (but not normal) samples affecting a range of genes that are related to various functions, for example, increased tumor incidence, tumor growth, innate immunity and inflammation, etc. Finding these genes helps us identify the proteins involved in tumorigenesis and this analysis may further allow us to find potential drug targets.Winner: Second Place, 2023 Paul Robeson Library Undergraduate Research Award
A novel Veress needle mechanism that reduces overshooting after puncturing the abdominal wall
No full textBackground: Complications that occur in laparoscopic surgery are often associated with the initial entry into the peritoneal cavity. The literature reported incidences of Veress needle (VN) injuries of e.g. 0.31% and 0.23%. In a 2010 national survey of laparoscopic entry techniques in the Canadian General Surgical practice, 57.3% of respondents had either experienced or witnessed a serious laparoscopic entry complication like bowel perforation and vascular injury. As those complications are potentially life threatening and should be avoided at all costs, improving safety of this initial action is paramount. Methods: Based on a bare minimum design approach with focus on function expansion of existing components, a new Safety mechanism was developed for the VN that decreases the risks of VN overshooting. The mechanism works by preventing the puncturing acceleration of the tip of the VN by decoupling the surgeon’s hand from the VN immediately after entering the abdomen. Results: Based on a set of requirements, a first prototype of the VN+ with force decoupling safety mechanism is presented and evaluated on an ex vivo porcine abdominal wall tissue model in a custom setup. The experiments conducted by two novices and one experienced surgeon indicated a significant difference between the attempts with a standard, conventional working VN (41.4 mm [37.5–45 mm]) and VN+ with decoupling mechanism (20.8 mm [17.5–22.5 mm]) of p < 0.001. Conclusion: A new decoupling safety mechanism was integrated successfully in a standard VN resulting in a VN+. The results from the pilot study indicate that this new VN+ reduces overshooting with a minimum of 50% in a standardised ex vivo setting on fresh porcine abdominal wall specimens.</p
Pre-clinical evaluation of the new veress needle+ mechanism on thiel-embalmed bodies: a controlled crossover study – Experimental
No full textBackground: Veress needles (VN) are commonly used in establishing pneumoperitoneum in laparoscopic surgery. Previously, a VN with a new safety mechanism ‘VeressPLUS’ needle (VN+) was developed to reduce the amount of overshoot.Methods: Eighteen participants (novices, intermediates, and experts) performed in total of 248 insertions in a systematic way on Thiel-embalmed bodies with wide and small bore versions of the conventional VN (VNc) and the VN+. Insertion depth was measured by recording the graduations on the needle under direct laparoscopic vision.Results: Participants graded the bodies and the procedures as lifelike. Overall, a significant reduction (P<0.001) in average insertion depth was found for the VN+ compared to the VNc of 26.0 SD16 mm versus 46.2 SD15 mm. The insertion depth difference in the novice group was higher compared to the intermediates and experts (P<0.001). The average insertion depth for both needle types was less (P<0.001) for female participants compared to male.Conclusion: This study indicated that the VN+ significantly reduced the insertion depth in all tested conditions. Whether the difference between female and male performance can be linked to differences in muscle control or arm mass should be further investigated. Useful technical information was gathered from this study to further improve the VN+.<br/
I nomi composti NN e VN nel lessico calcistico italiano. Aspetti e tendenze della creatività lessicale nell'italiano contemporaneo
No full textWydział Neofilologii: Instytut Filologii Romańskiej, Zakład Języka WłoskiegoThe PhD thesis presents the main tendencies in Noun compounding in Modern Italian on the example of Italian football column that is NN and VN compounds. The thesis aims in particular at exploring compound nouns NN and VN and their types. The goal is not only to establish the most frequent tendency in nominal compounding in Italian, but also to define the role of English elements, seldom heads of such compounds. The language material which comes from Italian website of the daily “La Gazzetta dello Sport” (1997-2010). Drawing on Thornton’s (2007), Dardano’s (1996) theory of mental lexicon and von Humboldt’s (2001), Sapir’s (1951) and Whorf’s (1982) theory of linguistic picture of the world of a linguistic community, the autor analyzes 4 types of compounds: NN subordinate compounds, NN attributive compounds, NN coordinate compounds and VN exocentric compounds.The author has collected a corpus of data totaling 329 compound nouns. We analyze Italian lexicon and word formation in Italian, lexical productivity, lexical density and also the phenomenon of neologisms and occasionalisms. The corpus data confirm our hypothesis: NN and VN compounds are productive in Modern Italian.La tesi è strutturata in quattro capitoli riguardanti l’analisi dei composti NN e VN nel lessico delle rubriche calcistiche italiane. Dallo studio risulta che il Nome si trova al centro dei processi creativi e costituisce il nucleo della formazione delle parole. I risultati dell’analisi confermano la produttività dei composti a schema NN e VN nonché i cambiamenti che vanno avvenendo nelle società di oggi (i composti NN per coordinazione che designano persone od oggetti aventi due funzioni: portieri protagonisti, palle-sponde, cross rasoterra) ed il dato di fatto che di fronte al mutare della società la lingua non resta passiva.La maggioranza dei composti del corpus (i composti per subordinazione e quelli per attribuzione) sono composti formati tramite la regola produttiva nell’italiano contemporaneo conformememente alla quale le regole di composizione danno i composti endocentrici con testa a sinistra.W rozprawie doktorskiej zatytułowanej „I Nomi composti NN e VN nel lessico calcistico italiano. Aspetti e tendenze della creatività lessicale nell’italiano contemporaneo” („Rzeczowniki złożone o strukturze NN i VN we włoskim słownictwie piłkarskim. Nowe tendencje słowotwórcze we współczesnym języku włoskim”) analizie poddane zostały sprawozdania pomeczowe, które ukazały się na łamach internetowego wydania La Gazzetta dello Sport w latach 1997-2010. Zagadnienie kreatywności leksykalnej zostało ujęte przez pryzmat teorii Chomsky'ego (1970) i słownika mentalnego (Graffi, Scalise 2003; Peressotti, Job 2006; Berruto 2006), jak również koncepcję analogie créatrice (Sypnicki 1979). Niesprzeczna z wyżej wymienionymi jest teoria, że słowotwórstwo danego języka nieustannie współtworzy i kształtuje językowy obraz świata danej społeczności językowej (Humboldt 2001, Sapir 1951, Whorf 1982, Jamrozik 2005, Gołąb 2004, Szczyszek (w druku). Analiza 329 zarejestrowanych rzeczowników złożonych podzielonych w zależności od relacji pomiędzy członami na rzeczowniki złożone podrzędnie (Nomi composti per subordinazione), rzeczowniki złożone atrybutywnie (Nomi composti per attribuzione), rzeczowniki złożone współrzędnie (Nomi composti per coordinazione) oraz rzeczowniki złożone egzocentryczne (Nomi composti esocentrici) potwierdziła hipotezę, że rzeczowniki o schemacie NN i VN są formami produktywnymi we współczesnym włoskim
Self healing of radiation-induced damage in Fe–Au and Fe–Cu alloys: Combining positron annihilation spectroscopy with TEM and ab initio calculations
No full textSelf healing of early stage radiation damage by site selective solute segregation is a promising approach to extend the lifetime of nuclear reactor components. In the present study, the creation and autonomous healing of irradiation-induced damage is investigated in pure Fe and high purity Fe–Au and Fe–Cu model alloys. To create radiation damage samples are irradiated at 550 °C by 120 keV He+ ions with fluences of 5.0 × 1015, 1.0 × 1016 and 5.0 × 1016 ions/cm2. The observed increase in the S and W parameters determined in the variable energy positron annihilation spectroscopy measurements indicates the formation of vacancy-like defects, precipitates and vacancy-solute complexes. The presence of substitutionally dissolved Au is found to reduce the formation of radiation defects more efficiently than solute Cu. Site-specific Au precipitation at defect sites is indicated, which results in damage healing with a reduced swelling, whereas Cu precipitates and radiation damage only show weak interaction. Ab initio calculations show that the binding energies of Au solutes to vacancy clusters (Au-Vn) are significantly larger than those of Cu solutes (Cu-Vn) whereas the binding energies of helium filled vacancy clusters Au-HenVn and Cu-HenVn are comparable.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.RST/Fundamental Aspects of Materials and EnergyNovel Aerospace Material
