description: We determine the generating functions of 1/4 BPS dyons in a class of 4d $\mathcal{N}=4$ string vacua arising as CHL orbifolds of $K3 \times T^2$, a classification of which has been recently completed. We show that all such generating functions obey some simple physical consistency conditions that are very often sufficient to fix them uniquely. The main constraint we impose is the absence of unphysical walls of marginal stability: discontinuities of 1/4 BPS degeneracies can only occur when 1/4 BPS dyons decay into pairs of 1/2 BPS states. Formally, these generating functions in spacetime can be described as multiplicative lifts of certain supersymmetric indices (twining genera) on the worldsheet of the corresponding nonlinear sigma model on K3. As a consequence, our procedure also leads to an explicit derivation of almost all of these twining genera. The worldsheet indices singled out in this way match precisely a set of functions of interest in moonshine, as predicted by a recent conjecture.

description: In this paper we study the time evolution of the entanglement between two remote NV Centers (nitrogen vacancy in diamond) connected by a dual-mode nanomechanical resonator with magnetic tips on both sides. Calculating the negativity as a measure for the entanglement, we find that the entanglement between two spins oscillates with time and can be manipulated by varying the parameters of the system. We observed the phe- nomenon of a sudden death and the periodic revivals of entanglement in time. For the study of quantum deco- herence, we implement a Lindblad master equation. In spite of its complexity, the model is analytically solvable under fairly reasonable assumptions, and shows that the decoherence influences the entanglement, the sudden death, and the revivals in time.

CONCEPTUAL FOUNDATIONS FOR COMMUNICATIVE COMPETENCE IN A FOREIGN LANGUAGE IN CLIL CLASSES
Creators: name: Tashmatova, Gulnara
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Communicative competence in a foreign language encompasses the ability to effectively use the language in real-life situations, taking into account linguistic, social, and cultural aspects. It consists of several components: linguistic competence (knowledge of the language), sociolinguistic competence (understanding of the social context), discursive competence (ability to construct coherent statements), strategic competence (methods of compensating for language gaps), and intercultural competence (understanding of cultural differences). These foundations help educators create more effective teaching methodologies that promote comprehensive language acquisition.
Daily Expenses Tracker System

description: In today’s fast-paced world, managing personal and organizational finances has become a critical aspect of maintaining financial health. A major challenge faced by individuals and businesses alike is the inability to effectively track and manage their expenses and income. Without proper oversight, people often struggle to stay within their budget, leading to overspending and financial instability. This problem is exacerbated by the lack of intuitive, easy-to-use systems that enable real-time tracking and analysis of financial data. To address these challenges, we propose the development of an Intelligent Expense Tracker web application, designed to help individuals and organizations efficiently monitor their monthly expenses and receivables. The primary objective of the system is to provide users with a simple yet powerful tool to track their daily spending and ensure that they stay within their set budget for the entire month. By offering users the ability to record and categorize their expenses, this application empowers them to make informed decisions about their financial habits.

description: The class of topological semimetals comprises a large pool of compounds. Together they provide a wide platform to realize exotic quasiparticles for example Dirac, nodal line Dirac and Weyl fermions. In this letter, we report the Berry phase, Fermi surface topology and anisotropic magnetoresistance of HfSiS which has recently been predicted to be a nodal line semimetal. This compound contains large carrier density, higher than most of the known semimetals. Massive amplitudes of de Haas-van Alphen and Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations up to 20 K in 7 T assist us in witnessing nontrivial pi-Berry phase which is a consequence of topological Dirac-type dispersion of bands originating from the hybridization of px + py and dx2-y2 orbitals of square-net plane of Si and Hf atoms, respectively. Furthermore, we establish the 3D Fermi-surface which consists of very asymmetric water caltrop-like electron and barley seed-like hole pockets which account for the anisotropic magnetoresistance in HfSiS.

description: Sepsis is a leading cause of death in the Intensive Care Units (ICU). Early detection of sepsis is critical for patient survival. In this paper, we propose a multimodal Transformer model for early sepsis prediction, using the physiological time series data and clinical notes for each patient within $36$ hours of ICU admission. Specifically, we aim to predict sepsis using only the first 12, 18, 24, 30 and 36 hours of laboratory measurements, vital signs, patient demographics, and clinical notes. We evaluate our model on two large critical care datasets: MIMIC-III and eICU-CRD. The proposed method is compared with six baselines. In addition, ablation analysis and case studies are conducted to study the influence of each individual component of the model and the contribution of each data modality for early sepsis prediction. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of our method, which outperforms competitive baselines on all metrics.

description: This paper proposes a novel pneumatic soft robotic hand that incorporates a mechanism that can switch the airflow path using a single airflow control. The developed hand can control the finger motion and operate the surface friction variable mechanism. In the friction variable mechanism, a lubricant is injected onto the high-friction finger surface to reduce surface friction. To inject the lubrication using a positive-pressure airflow, the Venturi effect is applied. The design and evaluation of the airflow-path switching and friction variable mechanisms are described. Moreover, the entire design of a soft robotic hand equipped with these mechanisms is presented. The performance was validated through grasping, placing, and manipulation tests.

description: (Abridged) The formation of large-scale (hundreds to few thousands of AU) bipolar structures in the circumstellar envelopes (CSEs) of post-Asymptotic Giant Branch (post-AGB) stars is poorly understood. The shape of these structures, traced by emission from fast molecular outflows, suggests that the dynamics at the innermost regions of these CSEs does not depend only on the energy of the radiation field of the central star. Deep into the Water Fountains is an observational project based on the results of programs carried out with three telescope facilities: The Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (JVLA), The Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA), and the Very Large Telescope (SINFONI-VLT). Here we report the results of the observations towards the WF nebula IRAS 18043$-$2116: Detection of radio continuum emission in the frequency range 1.5GHz - 8.0GHz; H$_{2}$O maser spectral features and radio continuum emission detected at 22GHz, and H$_{2}$ ro-vibrational emission lines detected at the near infrared. The high-velocity H$_{2}$O maser spectral features, and the shock-excited H$_{2}$ emission detected could be produced in molecular layers which are swept up as a consequence of the propagation of a jet-driven wind. Using the derived H$_{2}$ column density, we estimated a molecular mass-loss rate of the order of $10^{-9}$M$_{\odot}$yr$^{-1}$. On the other hand, if the radio continuum flux detected is generated as a consequence of the propagation of a thermal radio jet, the mass-loss rate associated to the outflowing ionized material is of the order of 10$^{-5}$M$_{\odot}$yr$^{-1}$. The presence of a rotating disk could be a plausible explanation for the mass-loss rates estimated.

The conceptual history of the classical electron

Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This work examines the notion of the "Scientific Revolution" as it may be applied to the development of a single concept: that of the electron. It spans a period of approximately 400 years and traces the development of both the theoretical as well as the experimental work which finally led to the concept of the electron. -- The concept of the "Scientific Revolution" as developed by Thomas Kuhn will be examined and discussed with respect to whether it may be directly applied to the areas of electricity and electromagnetism. It will become apparent that each significant series of new discoveries in this area was preceded by the development of various devices which allowed these discoveries to be made. Specifically the development of vacuum pumps, vacuum tubes, reliable sources of electricity and the cloud chamber will be discussed in some detail. -- The discussion will start with the early documented discoveries and speculations on the nature of static electricity and magnetism. The development of Volta's pile allowed work to commence on the effects of a continuous current of electricity and later into the electromagnetic nature of this current. This will be followed by the work on electrical discharges in evacuated glass tubes which ultimately led to the discovery of the particle nature of cathode rays. -- The focus of this thesis will be on the work carried out in the later part of the Nineteenth Century, much of it in the Cavendish Laboratory at Cambridge. A detailed discussion of the work of J.J. Thomson and his students C.T.R. Wilson, J. Townsend, H.A. Wilson and E. Rutherford will be made. The work of the Dutchman, P. Zeeman will also be considered since the discovery of the Zeeman Effect and its subsequent explanation supported the existence of a negatively charged subatomic particle. -- The experimental determination of the magnitude of the unit electric charge on the electron will also be discussed from the early work at the Cavendish to R.A. Millikan's successful oil drop experiment and the later X-ray diffraction methods. This section will conclude with a description of T.H. Laby's work in Melbourne around 1940. -- This work will conclude with a brief exposition of the theoretical development of the electron theory of matter. Specifically the work of J.C. Maxwell and H.A. Lorentz will be examined against the background of the concepts of the aether and force at a distance. Since this is a history of the classical electron the vast history of the development of quantum ideas is not a part of this story consequently the final chapter will very briefly mention the developments of quantum mechanics and the development of modern atomic theory.
My Drought is Different from Your Drought: A Case Study of the Policy Implications of Multiple Ways of Knowing Drought
Creators: name: Kohl, Ellen

Publisher: name: AMS
Year: 2016

description: This paper explores the relationship between scientific operationalizations of drought and the politics of water management during times of drought. Drawing on a case study of the 2007–09 drought in Georgia in the southeastern United States, this paper examines how multiple ways of knowing drought were produced, circulated, and utilized by stakeholders. Moreover, this paper explores the policy implications of these multiple ways of knowing drought. Data were drawn from archival research, direct observation, and semistructured interviews with members of the green industry (self-identified members of the urban agricultural sector); state environmental regulators; and local governmental officials. Data were analyzed to examine the interplay between science and politics. This paper highlights the intersections of drought management policy and 1) scale and operationalization of drought; 2) how stakeholders know drought; and 3) societal context within which knowledge of drought is produced, circulated, and utilized. This research demonstrates how stakeholders can leverage the complexity of drought to pursue their political goals and change the way water is managed during times of drought. Even in instances where there are different knowledges of drought, stakeholders can still change the societal context, as the green industry did in Georgia in 2009. This paper argues that scientists and policymakers who work on drought management need to consider how knowledges of drought are coconstituted through interactions between science, nature, and society.

Changing boundaries and meanings of the home: a case study of middle class houses in Sri Lanka

Publisher: name: University of Lincoln
Year: 2024
Subjects: K100 - Architecture

description: The thesis is a detailed study of the changing middle class home in contemporary Sri Lanka. It examines whether and how the interaction of spatial boundaries and embodied meanings have changed as a consequence of current social change.Results suggests that the middle class home in Sri Lanka has transformed from a ‘pre-open economy‘ model and stabilised into a new a ‘post-open economy model’, after the free-trade regime was introduced in 1977. Quantitative analysis of forty house plans investigated through space – syntax and statistical tools suggested that configurations, thresholds, positions and vistas of space have been organised and controlled to create generic spatial patterns in two alternative models, corresponding to pre and post open economy periods. Qualitative analysis through accounts of home lives by women that the ‘pre-open economy model’ was first socially constructed during the British Colonial Period (BCP), which embodied behaviours of a strongly institutionalised home life. A ‘lifestyle’ constructed within Victorian ideals with a strong emphasis on power structures of the institution of the family was embodied in the spatial classification of the BCP home.Quantitative analysis also suggested that the ‘pre-open economy’ spatial classification has transformed and stabilised into an alternative model in recent years as a ‘post-open economy’ model. Published records in Sri Lanka suggests that indicators of social change that affect gender issues such as roles and position of women, decline in domestic services, transformation of family structures, merging of conjugal roles and distancing from the neighbourhood as a community, are global phenomena, known to change during urbanisation in other contexts, for example during industrialisation and in the post-war periods in the UK society. Interestingly, such global phenomena have acquired spatial forms, which are conditional to the socio-historical structures in which the Sri Lankan middle class evolved. Qualitative analysis of accounts of home lives by women living from the post-open economy period revealed a ‘user oriented lifestyle’ and social boundaries between categories of users such as the family, visitor and outsiders have acquired novel forms of inclusion and exclusion. Thus, the synthesis of quantitative analysis and qualitative analysis suggest that changing spatial organisation relates to new forms of social solidarity seen to be consequential to larger social changes effected by the open-economy.

description: From the LHC runs we know that, with increasing collider energy, weak-boson-fusion Higgs production dominates as an environment for precision measurements. We show how a future hadron collider performs for three challenging benchmark signatures. Because all of these measurements rely on the tagging jet signature, we first give a comprehensive analysis of weak-boson-fusion kinematics and a proposed two-step jet veto at a 100 TeV hadron collider. We then find this machine to be sensitive to invisible Higgs branching ratios of 0.5%, a second-generation muon Yukawa coupling of 2%, and an enhanced total Higgs width of around 5%, the latter with essentially no model dependence. This kind of performance crucially relies on a sufficient detector coverage and a dedicated weak-boson-fusion trigger channel.

description: Most current multivariate time series (MTS) classification algorithms focus on improving the predictive accuracy. However, for large-scale (either high-dimensional or long-sequential) time series (TS) datasets, there is an additional consideration: to design an efficient network architecture to reduce computational costs such as training time and memory footprint. In this work we propose a methodology based on module-wise pruning and Pareto analysis to investigate the relationship between model efficiency and accuracy, as well as its complexity. Comprehensive experiments on benchmark MTS datasets illustrate the effectiveness of our method.

description: Configuration knobs of database systems are essential to achieve high throughput and low latency. Recently, automatic tuning systems using machine learning methods (ML) have shown to find better configurations compared to experienced database administrators (DBAs). However, there are still gaps to apply the existing systems in production environments, especially in the cloud. First, they conduct tuning for a given workload within a limited time window and ignore the dynamicity of workloads and data. Second, they rely on a copied instance and do not consider the availability of the database when sampling configurations, making the tuning expensive, delayed, and unsafe. To fill these gaps, we propose OnlineTune, which tunes the online databases safely in changing cloud environments. To accommodate the dynamicity, OnlineTune embeds the environmental factors as context feature and adopts contextual Bayesian Optimization with context space partition to optimize the database adaptively and scalably. To pursue safety during tuning, we leverage the black-box and the white-box knowledge to evaluate the safety of configurations and propose a safe exploration strategy via subspace adaptation.%, greatly decreasing the risks of applying bad configurations. We conduct evaluations on dynamic workloads from benchmarks and real-world workloads. Compared with the state-of-the-art methods, OnlineTune achieves 14.4%~165.3% improvement on cumulative performance while reducing 91.0%~99.5% unsafe configuration recommendations.

description: This report examines environmental enforcement at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) two years into the Trump administration. Based on extensive interviewing with EPA employees and recent retirees as well as in-depth wide-ranging research into EPA data and documents as well as news coverage, we conclude that the EPA is no longer so capable of fulfilling its mission to ensure competent enforcement of federal environmental laws. In place of that “gorilla in the closet” role characterized by its first administrator, William Ruckelshaus, it has become more of a sheep in the closet. The EPA’s retreat, which shows little sign of stopping, has all but ensured significant deterioration of our nation’s public health and environment in the years ahead.
Asking for it: a comparative analysis of legal and pedagogical representations of sexual consent and the lived experiences of young people
Creators: name: Chapman, Rachel
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The thesis closely examines and analyses the history of sexual consent within New South Wales (NSW). The research project was inspired by recent debates within the media and the wider public regarding the role of sex education in developing healthy sexual practices amongst young people. Discourse surrounding the subject often pertained to the omission of sexual consent from sex education classes and how this often left youth confused about how to adequately communicate and understand consent. Under social conditions where pornography is increasingly used by young people as a form of sex education, questions arose regarding whether young people felt that the formal sex education they received was helpful or relatable to their own experiences. However, before one can adequately examine the social practices of sexual consent by young people, a clear understanding of the legal and pedagogical constructions of consent must be attained. The purpose of this thesis will be to map these constructions of sexual consent and compare these with the social practices involved in negotiating sexual consent amongst young people.

Evaluating cascade correlation neural networks for surrogate modelling needs and enhancing the Nimrod/O toolkit for multi-objective optimisation
Creators: name: Riley, Mike
Publisher: name: University of Lincoln
Year: 2024
Subjects: H131 - Automated engineering design

description: Engineering design often requires the optimisation of multiple objectives, and becomes significantly more difficult and time consuming when the response surfaces are multimodal, rather than unimodal. A surrogate model, also known as a metamodel, can be used to replace expensive computer simulations, accelerating single and multi-objective optimisation and the exploration of new design concepts. The main research focus of this work is to investigate the use of a neural network surrogate model to improve optimisation of multimodal surfaces. Several significant contributions derive from evaluating the Cascade Correlation neural network as the basis of a surrogate model. The contributions to the neural network community ultimately outnumber those to the optimisation community. The effects of training this surrogate on multimodal test functions are explored. The Cascade Correlation neural network is shown to map poorly such response surfaces. A hypothesis for this weakness is formulated and tested. A new subdivision technique is created that addresses this problem; however, this new technique requires excessively large datasets upon which to train. The primary conclusion of this work is that Cascade Correlation neural networks form an unreliable basis for a surrogate model, despite successes reported in the literature. A further contribution of this work is the enhancement of an open source optimisation toolkit, achieved by the first integration of a truly multi-objective optimisation algorithm.

description: We present a set of full evolutionary sequences for white dwarfs with hydrogen-deficient atmospheres. We take into account the evolutionary history of the progenitor stars, all the relevant energy sources involved in the cooling, element diffusion in the very outer layers, and outer boundary conditions provided by new and detailed non-gray white dwarf model atmospheres for pure helium composition. These model atmospheres are based on the most up-to-date physical inputs. Our calculations extend down to very low effective temperatures, of $\sim 2\,500$~K, provide a homogeneous set of evolutionary cooling tracks that are appropriate for mass and age determinations of old hydrogen-deficient white dwarfs, and represent a clear improvement over previous efforts, which were computed using gray atmospheres.

description: Multi-agent reinforcement learning methods such as VDN, QMIX, and QTRAN that adopt centralized training with decentralized execution (CTDE) framework have shown promising results in cooperation and competition. However, in some multi-agent scenarios, the number of agents and the size of action set actually vary over time. We call these unshaped scenarios, and the methods mentioned above fail in performing satisfyingly. In this paper, we propose a new method called Unshaped Networks for Multi-Agent Systems (UNMAS) that adapts to the number and size changes in multi-agent systems. We propose the self-weighting mixing network to factorize the joint action-value. Its adaption to the change in agent number is attributed to the nonlinear mapping from each-agent Q value to the joint action-value with individual weights. Besides, in order to address the change in action set, each agent constructs an individual action-value network that is composed of two streams to evaluate the constant environment-oriented subset and the varying unit-oriented subset. We evaluate UNMAS on various StarCraft II micro-management scenarios and compare the results with several state-of-the-art MARL algorithms. The superiority of UNMAS is demonstrated by its highest winning rates especially on the most difficult scenario 3s5z_vs_3s6z. The agents learn to perform effectively cooperative behaviors while other MARL algorithms fail in. Animated demonstrations and source code are provided in https://sites.google.com/view/unmas.

Making the Invisible Visible: Telling Stories to Animate Environmental Injustices
Creators: name: Kohl, Ellen
Publisher: name: ACME
Year: 2021

description: The women of the Newtown Florist Club (NFC), a social and environmental justice organization located in Gainesville, Georgia, use storytelling both in their day-to-day lives and through their political activism to contest the environmental and social injustices they experience. In this paper, I draw on Black geographies and Black feminist storytelling to demonstrate how critical environmental justice scholars can use stories to interrogate systemic environmental injustices. I integrate this theoretical framework with the stories told by NFC members to contend that stories have both theoretical and methodological saliency. Stories facilitate an integration of the structural with lived experiences by highlighting (1) the contradictions activist navigate, (2) the ways activists draw support and motivation from connections to people and place, and (3) the ways activists use the past to connect the personal and political to imagine and prefigure new futures. In conclusion, I reflect on listening to activists’ stories as one way for researchers to operationalize critical environmental justice.

description: We address the problem of predicting saturation-dependent electrical conductivity σ in packings of spheres during drainage and imbibition. The effective-medium approximation (EMA) and the universal power law of percolation for σ are used, respectively, at higher and low water saturations to predict the conductivity, with the crossover between the two occurring at some intermediate saturation Swx. The main input to the theory is a single parameter that we estimate using the capillary pressure data. The predictions are compared with experimental, as well as numerical data for three distinct types of packings. The results for drainage in all the packings indicate that the universal power law of percolation is valid over the entire range of Sw. For imbibition, however, the universal power law crosses over to the EMA at Swx = 0.5. We also find that the effect of the pore-size distribution on the σ-Sw relation is minimal during both drainage and imbibition.
Net-baryon fluctuations measured with ALICE at the CERN LHC

description: First experimental results are presented on event-by-event net-proton fluctuation measurements in Pb- Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}}$ = 2.76 TeV, recorded by the ALICE detector at the CERN LHC. The ALICE detector is well suited for such studies due to its excellent particle identification capabilities and large acceptance, which is crucial for fluctuation analysis. The studies are focussed on second order cumulants, but the analysis technique used is more general and will be applied, in the near future, also to higher order cumulants.

description: Background Substance use disorders are correlated with unemployment and poverty. However, few interventions aim to improve substance use, unemployment, and, distally, poverty. The Abstinence-Contingent Wage Supplement (ACWS) randomized controlled trial combined a therapeutic workplace with abstinence-contingent wage supplements to address substance use and unemployment. The ACWS study found that abstinence-contingent wage supplements increased the percentage of participants who had negative drug tests, who were employed, and who were above the poverty line during the intervention period. This study presents the cost of ACWS and calculates the cost-effectiveness of ACWS compared with usual care. Methods To calculate the cost and cost-effectiveness of ACWS, we used activity-based costing methods to cost the intervention and calculated the costs from the provider and healthcare sector perspective. We calculated incremental cost-effectiveness ratios and cost-effectiveness acceptability curves for negative drug tests and employment. Results ACWS cost $11,310 per participant over the 12-month intervention period. Total intervention and healthcare costs per participant over the intervention period were $20,625 for usual care and $30,686 for ACWS. At the end of the intervention period an additional participant with a negative drug test cost $1437 while an additional participant employed cost $915. Conclusions ACWS increases drug abstinence and employment and may be cost-effective at the end of the 12-month intervention period if decision makers are willing to pay the incremental cost associated with the intervention.
Neuropsychological functioning, FDG-PET hypometabolism and postsurgical seizure outcome in medically intractable focal epilepsy

description: Patients with medically intractable focal epilepsy complete a range of clinical investigationswhen investigated for possible surgery, typically including fluorodeoxyglucose positronemission tomography (FDG-PET) and detailed neuropsychological assessment. FDG-PEThypometabolism often extends beyond the epileptogenic focus, particularly in temporal lobeepilepsy (TLE), but the cause and significance of these distant metabolic abnormalities is notwell understood. Similarly, neuropsychological deficits in TLE can be widespread and extendwell beyond the memory or language deficits synonymous with temporal lobe dysfunction. Thisthesis explores the relationship between hypometabolism and neuropsychological functioningin focal epilepsy patients being evaluated for surgery. Two of the three empirical studies in this thesis examine the neuropsychological correlates ofhypometabolism in and beyond the temporal lobes. The first study examines a cohort of patientswith structural occipital lobe epilepsy (OLE), establishing the comprehensiveneuropsychological profile of this syndrome before exploring whether verbal memoryimpairment is selectively associated with left temporal lobe hypometabolism. The second studyextends this line of enquiry by examining in a homogeneous cohort of mesial temporal lobeepilepsy (MTLE) patients whether unilateral temporal lobe hypometabolism correlates withmaterial-specific episodic memory impairment, and whether performance on frontal lobeneuropsychology tests correlates with hypometabolism of the prefrontal cortex. Combined, theresults from these studies support the hypothesis that episodic memory skills correlate withunilateral temporal lobe hypometabolism in the expected material-specific way. However,performance on frontal lobe tests is not correlated with prefrontal hypometabolism, suggestingthese tests are not good measures of frontal lobe functioning in isolation. The third study examines whether neuropsychological functioning can independently predictpostsurgical seizure outcome in MTLE when considered alongside other potential demographicand clinical predictors, including FDG-PET variables. The results suggest verbal memory, butno other neuropsychological variable, can predict seizure outcome in isolation but not over andabove FDG-PET results. These findings are discussed in terms of the implications for the roleof the clinical neuropsychologist in the evaluation of epilepsy surgery candidates.

description: Dynamical properties of a Vicsek-like gas of self-propelled particles are investigated by means of kinetic theory and agent based simulations. While memory effects have been observed in disordered systems, we show that they also occur in active matter systems. In particular, we find that the system exhibits a giant Kovacs-like memory effect that is much larger than predicted by a generic linear theory. Based on a separation of time scales we develop a nonlinear theory to explain this effect. We apply this theory to driven granular gases and propose further applications to spin glasses.
