description: Future space telescopes will directly image extrasolar planets at visible wavelengths. Time-resolved reflected light from an exoplanet encodes information about atmospheric and surface inhomogeneities. Previous research has shown that the light curve of an exoplanet can be inverted to obtain a low-resolution map of the planet, as well as constraints on its spin orientation. Estimating the uncertainty on 2D albedo maps has so far remained elusive. Here we present exocartographer, a flexible open-source Bayesian framework for solving the exo-cartography inverse problem. The map is parameterized with equal-area HEALPix pixels. For a fiducial map resolution of 192 pixels, a four-parameter Gaussian process describing the spatial scale of albedo variations, and two unknown planetary spin parameters, exocartographer explores a 198-dimensional parameter space. To test the code, we produce a light curve for a cloudless Earth in a face-on orbit with a 90$^\circ$ obliquity. We produce synthetic white light observations of the planet: 5 epochs of observations throughout the planet's orbit, each consisting of 24 hourly observations with a photometric uncertainty of $1\%$ (120 data). We retrieve an albedo map and$-$for the first time$-$its uncertainties, along with spin constraints. The albedo map is recognizably of Earth, with typical uncertainty of $30\%$. The retrieved characteristic length scale is 88$\pm 7 ^\circ$, or 9800 km. The obliquity is recovered with a $1-σ$ uncertainty of $0.8^\circ$. Despite the uncertainty in the retrieved albedo map, we robustly identify a high albedo region (the Sahara desert) and a large low-albedo region (the Pacific Ocean).

description: These standardized protocols outline the methods used from 2017 to 2019 to survey Buff-breasted Sandpipers (Calidris subruficollis) in the Western Gulf Coastal Plain ecoregion of Texas and Louisiana during northward migration. Designed to enable robust distance sampling and habitat analyses, the protocols guided trained observers in conducting road-based point counts with detailed habitat classification and GPS documentation.

Key components of the protocols include:

Survey Design: Randomly selected roadside points emphasizing safety and accessibility, with guidance for relocating points as needed.

Field Methods: Five-minute point counts with precise distance measurements using rangefinders, recording of individual and flock data, and classification of habitat variables.

Habitat and Land Cover: Systematic division of each survey point into quadrants (left/right, front/rear) for detailed habitat characterization.

Data Management: Instructions for standardized data recording, GPS use, and submission of completed datasheets.

Annual Adjustments: Minor revisions were made each year to improve clarity, GPS file access, and observer safety protocols.

These documents were developed through collaboration between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and partners and were implemented across Texas and southwest Louisiana. The protocols support long-term monitoring and conservation efforts for this species of management and conservation concern. Datasets collected using these protocols are available at USGS ScienceBase (Lyons et al. 2024).

description: The Dirac equation in spherically symmetric fields is separated in two different tetrad frames. One is the standard cartesian (fixed) frame and the second one is the diagonal (rotating) frame. After separating variables in the Dirac equation in spherical coordinates, and solving the corresponding eingenvalues equations associated with the angular operators, we obtain that the spinor solution in the rotating frame can be expressed in terms of Jacobi polynomials, and it is related to the standard spherical harmonics, which are the basis solution of the angular momentum in the Cartesian tetrad, by a similarity transformation.

Vertex Operators and Soliton Time Delays in Affine Toda Field Theory

description: In a space-time of two dimensions the overall effect of the collision of two solitons is a time delay (or advance) of their final trajectories relative to their initial trajectories. For the solitons of affine Toda field theories, the space-time displacement of the trajectories is proportional to the logarithm of a number $X$ depending only on the species of the colliding solitons and their rapidity difference. $X$ is the factor arising in the normal ordering of the product of the two vertex operators associated with the solitons. $X$ is shown to take real values between $0$ and $1$. This means that, whenever the solitons are distinguishable, so that transmission rather than reflection is the only possible interpretation of the classical scattering process, the time delay is negative and so an indication of attractive forces between the solitons.

Systematic analysis of the long-term heat stress response in the C4 model species Setaria viridis
Creators: name: Zhang, Peng
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2019

description: Abiotic stress is a major limitation on agricultural productivity. It is anticipated that steady rising temperatures due to global climate change will have a negative impact on plant growth and crop yield. Some plant species have evolved a more efficient type of photosynthesis underpinned by a carbon concentrating mechanism, known as the C4 pathway. C4 plants are thought to have evolved under warm and dry conditions and it is hypothesized that this biochemical and anatomical specialization serves to alleviate the cost of photorespiration at moderately high temperatures. The accompanying benefits of the C4 pathway also include high water and nitrogen use efficiencies. Although only 3% of the total number of land vascular plant species are C4, they contribute ~25% of the total terrestrial primary productivity, owing to their high photosynthetic efficiency. Setaria viridis (also known as the "green foxtail") is an emerging C4 model species for the C4 research community, due to its small stature, short lifespan and small diploid genome. It is the wild relative of Setaria italica ("foxtail millet"), a major staple species cultivated mainly in northern China. S. viridis is also phylogenetically closely related to maize and sorghum, making it an attractive model species for C4 monocot plants. In order to gain insights into its mechanisms of heat tolerance in C4 plants, this thesis presents a systematic analysis of a long-term heat stress treatment in S. viridis, to understand its response at the physiological, anatomical, metabolic, transcriptional and proteomic level. Plants grown at 42C for two weeks (as compared to 28C) showed stunted growth, despite heat treatment showing little impact on leaf area-based photosynthetic rates. However, rates of dark respiration significantly increased in the heat-stressed plants. Major alterations in carbon and nitrogen metabolism were observed in the heat-stressed plants; these included reduced amount of starch, accumulation of soluble sugars and increase in leaf nitrogen content. The levels of major hormones were also measured. These were characterized by a dramatic increase in abscisic acid in the heat-stressed plants. Leaf transcriptomics, proteomics and metabolomics analyses were carried out, and the heat response of specific genes (transcript and protein) were mapped onto each of the aforementioned metabolic pathways (photosynthesis, respiration, carbon/nitrogen metabolism and hormone synthesis and signaling pathways) to identify the underlying causes of the changes in metabolism.

Pathspace Decompositions for the Virasoro Algebra and its Verma Modules

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1994
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Starting from a detailed analysis of the structure of pathspaces of the ${\cal A}$-fusion graphs and the corresponding irreducible Virasoro algebra quotients $V(c,h)$ for the ($2,q$ odd) models, we introduce the notion of an admissible pathspace representation. The pathspaces ${\cal P_A}$ over the ${\cal A}$-Graphs are isomorphic to the pathspaces over Coxeter $A$-graphs that appear in FB models. We give explicit construction algorithms for admissible representations. From the finitedimensional results of these algorithms we derive a decomposition of $V(c,h)$ into its positive and negative definite subspaces w.r.t. the Shapovalov form and the corresponding signature characters. Finally, we treat the Virasoro operation on the lattice induced by admissible representations adopting a particle point of view. We use this analysis to decompose the Virasoro algebra generators themselves. This decomposition also takes the nonunitarity of the ($2,q$) models into account.

Ecological Kinds and the Units of Conservation
Creators: name: Lean, Christopher
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2019

description: Conservation has often been conducted with the implicit internalization of Aldo Leopold's claim: "A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the biotic community." This position has been found to be problematic as ecological science has not vindicated the ecological community as an entity which can be stable or coherent. Ecological communities do not form natural kinds, and this has forced ecological scientists to explain ecology in a different manner. Individualist approaches to ecological systems have gained prominence. Individualists claim that ecological systems are better explained at the population level rather than as whole communities. My thesis looks at the implications of the current state of ecological science on conservation biology and emphasizes the importance of biodiversity as assessed at the population level. I defend the position that biodiversity should represent taxonomy and be quantified in reference to phylogenetic structure. This is a defence of biodiversity realism, which conceives of biodiversity as a natural quantity in the world which is measurable, valuable to prudent agents, and causally salient to ecological systems. To address how biodiversity at the population level relates to larger ecological systems I create a methodology designed to identify the relevant ecological system which biodiversity maintains and is maintained by biodiversity. This is done through the context dependent modelling of causal networks indexed to populations. My causal modelling methodology is then utilized to explicate ecological functions. These chapters together provide a framework for conservation science, which can then be applied to novel problems. The final section of the thesis utilises this framework to address whether de-extinction is a worthwhile conservation technique.

In the category of static plasmonic systems, we first show chiral plasmonic nanostructures based on spherical AuNPs, including plasmonic helices, toroids, and tetramers. To enhance the CD responses, anisotropic gold nanorods with larger extinction coefficients are utilized to create chiral plasmonic crosses and helical superstructures. Next, we highlight the inevitable evolution from static to dynamic plasmonic systems along with the fast development of this interdisciplinary field. Several dynamic plasmonic systems are reviewed according to their working mechanisms.

Eleventh-Order Calculation of Green's Functions in the Ising Limit for Arbitrary Space-Time Dimension $D$

description: This paper extends an earlier high-temperature lattice calculation of the renormalized Green's functions of a $D$-dimensional Euclidean scalar quantum field theory in the Ising limit. The previous calculation included all graphs through sixth order. Here, we present the results of an eleventh-order calculation. The extrapolation to the continuum limit in the previous calculation was rather clumsy and did not appear to converge when $D>2$. Here, we present an improved extrapolation which gives uniformly good results for all real values of the dimension between $D=0$ and $D=4$. We find that the four-point Green's function has the value $0.620 \pm 0.007$ when $D=2$ and $0.98 \pm 0.01$ when $D=3$ and that the six-point Green's function has the value $0.96 \pm 0.03$ when $D=2$ and $1.2 \pm 0.2$ when $D=3$.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.

The construction is based on a particular choice of the simple root system of the affine Lie superalgebra $sl(3|2)^{(1)}$ associated with a non-standard $sl(2)$ embedding. After twisting and a similarity transformation, this $W$ algebra can be identified as the extended topological conformal algebra of non-critical $W_{3}$ string theory.

description: Abridged. Our aim is to measure the masses and radii of the stars in a newly-discovered detached eclipsing binary system to a high precision ($\approx$1%), enabling the system to be used for the calibration of free parameters in stellar evolutionary models. Photometry from the Wide Angle Search for Planets (WASP) project was used to identify 1SWASP J063930.33-322404.8 (TYC 7091-888-1, WASP 0369-32 hereafter) as a detached eclipsing binary system with total eclipses and an orbital period of P=11.66 days. Lightcurve parameters for WASP 0639-32 are obtained using the ebop lightcurve model, with standard errors evaluated using a prayer-bead algorithm. Radial velocities were measured from 11 high-resolution spectra using a broadening function approach, and an orbit was fitted using sbop. Observed spectra were disentangled and an equivalent width fitting method was used to obtain effective temperatures and metallicities for both stars. A Bayesian framework is used to explore a grid of stellar evolution models, where both helium abundance and mixing length are free to vary, and use observed parameters (mass, density, temperature and metallicity) for each star to obtain the age and constrain the helium abundance of the system. The masses and radii are found to be $M_{1}=1.1544\pm0.0043\,M_{\odot}$, $R_{1}=1.833\pm0.023\,R_{\odot}$ and $M_{2}=0.7833\pm0.0028\,M_{\odot}$, $R_{2}=0.7286\pm0.0081\,R_{\odot}$ for the primary and secondary, respectively. The effective temperatures were found to be $T_{1}=6330\pm50$ K and $T_{2}=5400\pm80$ K for the primary and secondary star, respectively. The system has an age of $4.2^{+0.8}_{-0.1}$ Gyr, and a helium abundance in the range 0.251-0.271. WASP 0639-32 is a rare example of a well-characterised detached eclipsing binary system containing a star near the main-sequence turn-off point. This make it possible to measure a precise age for the stars ...

description: Within the framework of second order derivative (one dimensional) SUSYQM we discuss particular realizations which incorporate large energy shifts between the lowest states of the spectrum of the superhamiltonian (of Schrödinger type). The technique used in this construction is based on the "gluing" procedure. We study the limit of infinite energy shift for the charges of the Higher Derivative SUSY Algebra, and compare the results with those of the standard SUSY Algebra. We conjecture that our results can suggest a construction of a toy model where large energy splittings between fermionic and bosonic partners do not affect the SUSY at low energies.

description: This research uses a likelihood ratio (LR) framework to assess the discriminatory power of a range of acoustic parameters extracted from speech samples produced by male speakers of Standard Thai. The thesis aims to answer two main questions: 1) to what extent the tested linguistic-phonetic segments of Standard Thai perform in forensic voice comparison (FVC); and 2) how such linguistic-phonetic segments are profitably combined through logistic regression using the FoCal Toolkit (Brümmer, 2007). The segments focused on in this study are the four consonants /s, ʨh, n, m/ and the two diphthongs [ɔi, ai]. First of all, using the alveolar fricative /s/, two different sets of features were compared in terms of their performance in FVC. The first comprised the spectrum-based distributional features of four spectral moments, namely mean, variance, skew and kurtosis; the second consisted of the coefficients of the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCTs) applied to a spectrum. As DCTs were found to perform better, they were subsequently used to model the consonant spectrum of the remaining consonants. The consonant spectrum was extracted at the center point of the /s, ʨh, n, m/ consonants with a Hamming window of 31.25 msec. For the diphthongs [ɔi] - [nɔi L] and [ai] - [mai HL], the cubic polynomials fitted to the F2 and F1-F3 formants were tested separately. The quadratic polynomials fitted to the tonal F0 contours of [ɔi] - [nɔi L] and [ai] - [mai HL] were tested as well. Long-term F0 distribution (LTF0) was also trialed. The results show the promising discriminatory power of the Standard Thai acoustic features and segments tested in this thesis. The main findings are as follows. 1. The fricative /s/ performed better with the DCTs (Cllr = 0.70) than with the spectral moments (Cllr = 0.92). 2. The nasals /n, m/ (Cllr = 0.47) performed better than the affricate /tɕh/ (Cllr = 0.54) and the fricative /s/ (Cllr = 0.70) when their DCT coefficients were parameterized. 3. F1-F3 trajectories (Cllr = 0.42 and Cllr = 0.49) outperformed F2 trajectory (Cllr = 0.69 and Cllr = 0.67) for both diphthongs [ɔi] and [ai]. 4. F1-F3 trajectories of the diphthong [ɔi] (Cllr = 0.42) outperformed those of [ai] (Cllr = 0.49). 5. Tonal F0 (Cllr = 0.52) outperformed LTF0 (Cllr = 0.74). 6. Overall, better results were obtained when DCTs of /n/ - [na: HL] and /n/ - [nɔi L] were fused. (Cllr = 0.40 with the largest consistent-with-fact SSLog10LR = 2.53). In light of the findings, we can conclude that Standard Thai is generally amenable to FVC, especially when linguistic-phonetic segments are being combined; it is recommended that the latter procedure be followed when dealing with forensically realistic casework.

description: Rhithropanopeus harrisii can tolerate a wide range of salinities from 0.5 to 27.5 ppt. While Eurypanopeus depressus usually is found within the 4.5-20.4 ppt range, and Panopeus herbstii from 13.95-19.04 ppt (Williams 1984). Both R. harrisii and E. depressus are susceptible to infection from the parasite, Loxothylacus panopaei (Alvarez et al. 1995, Kruse et al. 2011, O’Shaughnessey et al. 2014). L. panopaei takes over the crab’s reproductive system, castrating them and feminizing males. L. panopaei cannot tolerate salinities less than 10ppt (Boyle et al. 2010) allowing for there to be a potential refuge for mud crabs in these lower salinities. In this study, we collected crab samples from five different sites along the Potomac River. The samples were sorted by species, sex, size, and parasite infection. The purpose of this study was to identify the effect of salinity on crab species abundance and parasite prevalence. It was hypothesized that the parasite would be found in higher salinity sites, and there would be a greater overall abundance and diversity of crabs at higher salinity sites. It was found that the diversity of crab species increased as salinity increased. However, the most amount of parasitized crabs was found in the mid salinity range. This may be because there is a higher population of crabs overall in the mid salinity sites, so there is more opportunity for infection in those sites.

description: We present in this work, the calculations of corrections in the Newton's law of gravitation due to Kaluza-Klein gravitons in five-dimensional warped thick braneworld scenarios. We consider here a recently proposed model, namely, the hybrid Bloch brane. This model couples two scalar fields to gravity and is engendered from a domain wall-like defect. Also, two other models the so-called asymmetric hybrid brane and compact brane are considered. As a matter of fact, these models are obtained from deformations of the phi4 and sine-Gordon topological defects. Then, we constructed the branes upon such defects, and the corresponding corrections in Newton's law of gravitation are computed. In order to attain the mass spectrum and its corresponding eigenfunctions which are the essential quantities for computing the correction to the Newtonian potential, we develop a suitable numerical technique.

An Analysis of CMIP6 Climate Model Performance in Simulating Climatological Conditions Compared to CMIP5

description: The Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP), a worldwide multi-model framework for climate experiments and projections, recently began releasing output from the CMIP6 coordinated effort to the scientific community for analysis. The climate models used to undertake CMIP6 represent the state-of-the-art, with the latest scientific understanding included in this generation of climate models. Consequently, one expectation is that this latest generation of models can more accurately simulate climatological conditions in temperature and precipitation across the globe than the previous CMIP effort, CMIP5. However, the skill of these “improved” models has not yet been deeply investigated. We compared the outputs of models under CMIP6 against observations through multi-model mean plots and individual calculation of the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) to both identify any possible biases. The plots indicate visually apparent improvements, while density distributions for RMSEs show shifts in cross-model performance between CMIP5 and CMIP6. In this project, RMSEs in CMIP6 are noticeably lower for precipitation and sea surface temperatures both globally and in the Pacific equatorial regions. Our results indicate a possible improvement in climate models from CMIP5 to CMIP6, with a reduced wet bias around the equator, and reduced warm biases in the Pacific. We anticipate that our findings will add to the scientific community’s understanding of ongoing developments in climate modeling groups and will help promote future study.

Acceleration and Privacy Protection for Distributed Computing
Creators: name: Liu, Yang
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2019

description: In recent years, the rapidly increasing data base scales and complexities arising from various engineering, social and biomedical applications strongly motivate the study of distributed computation. The central idea is that a group of decentralized agents can break down and solve complex problems with suitable interconnection and cooperation, in which one gains scalability and resilience compared to traditional centralized computations. New challenges arrive accordingly in terms of the development and analysis of distributed algorithms, the trade-offs between communication complexity and computation efficiency, and the awareness of security and privacy in a distributed scheme. The seminar presents our contributions to this field in an effort to systematically tackle those challenges. 1. Novel distributed algorithms in light of the seminal Arrow-Hurwicz-Uzawa flow and stochastic gradient optimization are developed, for solving least-squares problems over networks, which is arguably one of the most important computation tasks. 2. A simple yet powerful approach for the acceleration of the conventional gossip protocols, which have become the canonical solutions for distributed information dissemination, is proposed by exploring local clique structures. 3. The systematic privacy leakage risks in the existing network linear equation solvers are uncovered rigorously. Universal privacy-preserving algorithms, with mathematically proven privacy protection guarantee, are also designed, which can be used as a data-encryption subroutine in a variety of distributed algorithms. These results add to the fundamental understandings of distributed computing architecture in emerging applications such as smart grid, intelligent transportation, and social computing, etc.
Anomalous dimensions and ghost decoupling in a perturbative approach to the generalized chiral Schwinger model

description: A generalized chiral Schwinger model is studied by means of perturbative techniques. Explicit expressions are obtained, both for bosonic and fermionic propagators, and compared to the ones derived by means of functional techniques. In particular a consistent recipe is proposed to describe the ambiguity occurring in the regularization of the fermionic determinant. The role of the gauge fixing term, which is needed to develop perturbation theory and the behaviour of the spectrum as a function of the parameters are clarified together with ultraviolet and infrared properties of the model.

description: Cameron Run and Hunting Creek are two freshwater tidal embayments of the Potomac River, located downstream of wastewater treatment facilities. During heavy rainfall events, the combined sewage system near Cameron Run results in rainwater and domestic sewage overflowing into the nearby watershed. Microbial communities were characterized and compared over different levels of precipitation and other environmental parameters to identify possible biological indicators for water quality and aquatic health. A 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing approach was used to identify potential microbial biomarkers of environmental disturbance. We collected river water from different sites along Cameron Run and Hunting Creek and characterized microbial populations present over a four-month time period. We found a high quantity of Bacteroides present across all sites, potentially indicating fecal contamination. Species richness and community structure were significantly influenced by rainfall and temperature. In particular, the relative abundances of genera Devosia (a nitrogen-fixing soil bacterium), Sphingomonas, and Arthrobacter (commonly found in soil) were correlated with higher rainfall. Further analysis of this multi-year data set will seek to uncover additional microbial indicators by examining fluctuations in the microbial community related to changes in specific environmental parameters over time.

description: To find the origin of chaos near black hole horizon in string-theoretic AdS/CFT correspondence, we perform a chaos analysis of a suspended string in AdS black hole backgrounds. It has a definite CFT interpretation: chaos of Wilson loops, or in other words, sensitive time-evolution of a quark antiquark force in thermal gauge theories. Our nonlinear numerical simulation of the suspended Nambu-Goto string shows chaos, which would be absent in pure AdS background. The calculated Lyapunov exponent $λ$ satisfies the universal bound $λ\leq 2πT_{\rm H}$ for the Hawking temperature $T_{\rm H}$. We also analyze a toy model of a rectangular string probing the horizon and show that it contains a universal saddle characterized by the surface gravity $2πT_{\rm H}$. Our work demonstrates that the black hole horizon is the origin of the chaos, and suggests a close interplay between chaos and quark deconfinement.

description: Grave goods provide an important source of insight into the material and social cultures of past societies. The presented research examines variability in social complexity across Inland Southeast Asia through the analysis of selected mortuary assemblages at late Iron Age (c. 200 – 600 CE) sites in Central-Northwest Cambodia and Northeast Thailand. Phum Sophy, Phum Lovea, and Prei Khmeng form the Cambodian collection while Non Ban Jak (supplemented with published data from Noen U-Loke and Ban Non Wat) provide the data for Northeast Thailand. Analysis of assemblage sizes, the presence or absence of semi-precious material, and the appearance and abundance of ornamental circlets (bangles, rings, earrings, etc.) are used to generate relative wealth values for each burial assemblage. It is argued that, by the late Iron Age, two distinctly different systems of social complexity separated the regions, with a three-tiered, stratified economy in Cambodia compared to a ranked, unstratified economy in Northeast Thailand. A morphological typology is developed to classify banded circular ornaments, termed circlets, on three levels in order to assess variability in expressions of dress in mortuary populations. The first classification level examines the cross-sectional shape of circlets while the second and third reference the type of band opening and overhead shape respectively. The typology serves as a reference system for recording and analysing the shape and form of circlets and can be applied across Iron Age sites in Cambodia and Thailand. The additional insight gained from examining circlet morphology is used in the assessment of burial wealth, with assemblages featuring a range of designs registering higher than those with few forms. A conclusion is tendered that, while complexity increased during the course of the Iron Age in both regions, the communities in the Northeast Thailand retained the characteristics of a chiefdom in the late prehistory while Central-Northwest Cambodia appears to have developed to the point of a complex polity.
