2020 ICM Problem E Contest Results 2020 Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling® Press Release—April 24, 2020 COMAP is pleased to announce the results of the 22nd annual that limit the ability to reach this safe level and ways to more Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling (ICM). This year 7203 teams equitably distribute causes and effects. The F Problem asked students representing institutions from sixteen countries/regions participated in to create an international policy that would address the resettlement the contest. Eighteen teams were designated as OUTSTANDING needs of environmentally displaced persons (those whose homelands representing the following schools: are lost to climate change) while also preserving the cultural heritage of those peoples. This problem required students to evaluate cultural Beijing Forestry University, China significance as well as understand geopolitical issues surrounding Beijing Normal University, China refugees. For all three problems, teams used pertinent data and Brown University, RI, USA (Rachel Carson Award) grappled with how phenomena internal and external to the system Capital University of Economics and Business, China needed to be considered and measured. The student teams produced Dongbei University of Finance and Economics, China creative and relevant solutions to these complex questions and built Donghua University, China models to handle the tasks assigned in the problems. The problems Nanjing University of Posts & Telecommunications, China also required data analysis, creative modeling, and scientific New York University, NY, USA methodology, along with effective writing and visualization to Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China (INFORMS Award) communicate their teams' results in a 20-page report. A selection of Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, China the Outstanding solution papers will be featured in The UMAP South China University of Technology, China Journal, along with commentaries from the problem authors and University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, China judges. This year’s judges remarked that due to the multi-disciplinary University of International Business and Economics, China nature of the problems, teams solved these problems using a variety The College of William & Mary, VA, USA of methods and tools. This allowed teams to showcase their strengths (COMAP Scholarship Award & Leonhard Euler Award) in many diverse areas including climate science, cooperative systems, Xi'an Jiaotong University, China (3) cultural preservation, data science, ecology, environmental science, (INFORMS Award 2009139, COMAP Scholarship Award & international relations, networks, operations research, policy, political Vilfredo Pareto Award 2013772) science, sports analytics, statistics, and sustainability. Xidian University, China (INFORMS Award) This year’s contest ran over two weekends from Thursday, February 2020 ICM Statistics 13 to Monday, February 17, 2020 for Problems D and E, and from Thursday, March 5 to Monday, March 9, 2020 for Problem F.

ICM is designed to develop interdisciplinary problem-solving skills in science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM) and the humanities, as well as competence in data science and written communication. Over the years the ICM problem topics have included environmental science, biology, chemistry, resource management, operations research, information science, public health, and network science. Each team is expected to include team members from a range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary interests in applied problem solving and modeling. To obtain additional information and a listing of all the team designations, please visit the ICM Website at: www.mcmcontest.com. Major start-up funding for the ICM was provided by a grant from the National Science Foundation (through Project INTERMATH) and COMAP. Additional support is provided by The Institute for Operations Research and the Management Sciences (INFORMS). COMAP's Mathematical Contest in Modeling and Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling are unique among modeling competitions in that students work in teams to find a solution. Centering its educational philosophy on mathematical modeling, COMAP uses mathematical tools to explore real-world problems. It serves the educational community as well as the world of work by preparing students to become better informed—and prepared—citizens, consumers, workers, and community leaders.

    Synthesis, Magnetism and Photoluminescence of Mn Doped AlN Nanowires Qiushi Wang ( [email protected] ) Bohai University Li Yang Bohai University Junhong Li Bohai University Huadong Yang Bohai University Zhenbao Feng Liaocheng University Zhu Ge Dalian Minzu University: Dalian Nationalities University Jian Zhang Beihua University Yao Lin Beihua University Xuejiao Wang Beihua University Chuang Wang Bohai University Ying Fu Songshan Lake Materials Laboratory Cailong Liu Liaocheng University Research Article Keywords: AlN, Mn doped, Ferromagnetic, Photoluminescence Posted Date: August 3rd, 2021 DOI: https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-763003/v1 Page 1/22 License: This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License. Read Full License Page 2/22 Abstract Manganese doped aluminum nitride (AlN:Mn) nanowires were fabricated by direct nitridation of Al and Mn mixed powders. The as-synthesized AlN:Mn nanowires were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Raman, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The measurements reveal the successful incorporation of Mn2+ ions into AlN nanowires. The magnetic and optical properties of the AlN:Mn nanowires were studied using vibrating sample magnetometer and photoluminescence spectroscopy. The AlN:Mn nanowires exhibit room temperature ferromagnetic behavior and a red emission band centered at 597 nm corresponding to 4 4 6 6 2+ the T1( G)- A1( S) transition of Mn . The abnormal thermal quenching behavior and long afterglow feature are investigated through the temperature dependent emission and the afterglow spectrum. The thermoluminescence curve shows that AlN: Mn nanowires have a wide trap distribution, which leads to the abnormal thermal quenching behavior and persistent luminescence.

    International Conference on Education, Management and Computer Science (ICEMC 2016) Research on the Actuality and Development of Graduate Education in Jilin Province Yan Bao1, a and Chunyan Wang2, b 1Scientific Research Office, Jilin Engineering Normal University, Changchun, China 2College of Business Administration, Jilin Engineering Normal University, Changchun, China [email protected], [email protected], Keywords: Jilin Province; Graduate education; Actuality; Development Abstract. The graduate education in Jilin Province started earlier and has been showing a relatively stable structure after many years of exploration and development. But there are still several problems, such as an imbalance between academic education and professional education, the imperfect quality of graduate education, the poor implementation of education program and so on. This paper introduces the general situation of graduate education in Jilin Province, analyzes the existing problems in the system of graduate education, and gives some constructive suggestions for them. Introduction As one of China’s education output provinces, Jilin Province transported a large number of talents for many industries, and these talents provided supports for the overall country’s economic development and social progress. With the popularization of higher education in China, the main subjects of social interests put forward higher requests to the graduate education. This trend has forced the government, universities and education researchers to focus on the construction and improvement of the graduate education system [1]. Though their cooperation, they hope to further coordinate the balance between the quantity and quality of graduate education, to adjust the structure and benefits of graduate education in Jilin Province. Graduate education in Jilin province education can be traced back to the founding of new China.

BACKGROUND: There is a great demand for the extraction of organ models from three-dimensional (3D) medical images in clinical medicine diagnosis and treatment. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to aid doctors in seeing the real shape of human organs more clearly and vividly. METHODS: The method uses the minimum eigenvectors of Laplacian matrix to automatically calculate a group of basic matting components that can properly define the volume image. These matting components can then be used to build foreground images with the help of a few user marks. RESULTS: We propose a direct 3D model segmentation method for volume images. This is a process of extracting foreground objects from volume images and estimating the opacity of the voxels covered by the objects.
