description: We investigate the formation of ultra-diffuse galaxies (UDGs) using the Auriga high-resolution cosmological magneto-hydrodynamical simulations of Milky Way-sized galaxies. We identify a sample of $92$ UDGs in the simulations that match a wide range of observables such as sizes, central surface brightness, Sérsic indices, colors, spatial distribution and abundance. Auriga UDGs have dynamical masses similar to normal dwarfs. In the field, the key to their origin is a strong correlation present in low-mass dark matter haloes between galaxy size and halo spin parameter. Field UDGs form in dark matter haloes with larger spins compared to normal dwarfs in the field, in agreement with previous semi-analytical models. Satellite UDGs, on the other hand, have two different origins: $\sim 55\%$ of them formed as field UDGs before they were accreted; the remaining $\sim 45\%$ were normal field dwarfs that subsequently turned into UDGs as a result of tidal interactions.

description: Neutron matter is interesting both as an extension of terrestrial nuclear physics and due to its significance for the study of neutron stars. In this work, after some introductory comments on nuclear forces, nuclear ab initio theory, and nuclear phenomenology, we employ two techniques, Quantum Monte Carlo (QMC) and Energy Density Functionals, to practically handle an extended system composed of strongly interacting neutrons. We start by summarizing work on the static response of neutron matter, which considers the impact of external influences on the time-independent system. We then proceed to discuss new results of the energy of quasiparticle excitations in neutron matter, including QMC calculations with chiral or phenomenological nucleon-nucleon interactions. As part of this study, we carefully study the approach of our finite-number computations toward the infinite-system limit.

description: In 1876, Lewis Carroll proposed a voting system in which the winner is the candidate who with the fewest changes in voters' preferences becomes a Condorcet winner---a candidate who beats all other candidates in pairwise majority-rule elections. Bartholdi, Tovey, and Trick provided a lower bound---NP-hardness---on the computational complexity of determining the election winner in Carroll's system. We provide a stronger lower bound and an upper bound that matches our lower bound. In particular, determining the winner in Carroll's system is complete for parallel access to NP, i.e., it is complete for $\thetatwo$, for which it becomes the most natural complete problem known. It follows that determining the winner in Carroll's elections is not NP-complete unless the polynomial hierarchy collapses.

Use of multi-GPU systems for large FFTs: with applications in ultrasound simulations
Creators: name: Nandapalan, Nimalan
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2013
Subjects: GPU FFT Ultrasound

description: Ultrasound simulations are a type of application that are both computationally and communicatively intensive. With better performance, implementations of these can be used in designing new ultrasound probes, developing better signal processing techniques, training new ultrasonographers, in treatment planning and many other uses [11]. The pseudo-spectral technique can be used effectively to express the wave-propagation model used in these simulations, and is characterised by its use of the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). The FFT can account for over half of the time spent by ultrasound simulations, with the remaining consisting of embarrassingly parallel arithmetic [28]. The use of a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) for general computations like the FFT has become ubiquitous with favourable performance. The current trend in the design of the Central Processing Unit (CPU) of most systems has seen a shift from single-core to multi-core processing with these now being assembled into multi-socket configurations. GPUs are already massively multi-core processors typically with three or four times as many cores the question remains: will GPUs follow a similar trend and incorporate multiple devices in individual sockets when implemented? The purpose of the work in this thesis is to assess the viability of multi-GPU systems for ultrasound simulations in terms of cost and performance compared to other system designs that offer similar computational resources. Current machine hardware is capable of supporting multiple GPU through peripheral devices and offers a glimpse of the potential of future machines however, relatively little work has been reported on the use of such systems for ultrasound simulations and the FFT algorithm. In this thesis, to address this issue, we benchmark and model the device-to-device communication potential of an existing multi-GPU system. Four different methods are considered, namely: via CPU, pointer swapping, hybrid-staged, and kernel. The results reveal that the pointer swapping and kernel based methods of managing communication can be up to twice as efficient as other methods. The methods for communication identified in the benchmarks are then used as the basis for a number of important generic communication functions, which are in turn used to implement a distributed 3D FFT algorithm as required by the ultrasound simulation. The multi-GPU distributed 3D FFT with four GPUs was found to be up to 18% faster than an existing FFT implementation on a six core CPU. This multi-GPU distributed 3D FFT implementation is then used in an ultra- sound simulation as a proof-of-concept case study of the thesis. By overlapping communication and computation between the CPU and GPU resources a speed up of 8% is observed.

(Re)storying Horizons: White Kindergarten Teachers’ Enactment Of The Language And Literacy Curriculum In A Predominantly-white Working-class North Carolina Mountain Community Public School

description: The early childhood curriculum is too-often based on narrowed/ing conceptualizations of “literacy” and “language,” which negatively position nonacademic (read: nondominant) literacy and language practices and result in schools failing and further marginalizing working-class children and families across racial identifications. It is therefore pertinent to (re)conceptualize language and literacy by interrogating dominantly-positioned academic practices. Exploring early childhood teachers’ sense- making and enactment of the curriculum elucidates how nonacademic practices are (under)valued in and through the mandated curriculum. With this aim, through a critical ethnographic case study, I engaged in observations of classroom interactions and teacher team meetings, artifact collection, and interviews with four White female public kindergarten teachers in a predominantly-White working-class North Carolina mountain community. I found that the four teachers’ language ideologies had been constructed, understood, and developed from early childhood, through schooling experiences, and in teacher learning. These ideologies, while not always recognized, influenced how they were making sense of and enacting the curriculum. Their own childhood literacy experiences impacted approaches to teaching literacy; these White female teachers talked about what they had needed as students and how this influenced their approaches to teaching young children. Talk around students’ language and literacy practices illustrated a desire to prepare children for school and to support student success; although, this talk was underpinned with some deficit perspectives (pervasive in the mandated curriculum) concerning nonacademic language and literacy practices. The teachers were negotiating the mandated curriculum on a daily basis, as they strived to do what they deemed best for students, most of whom were being introduced to formal schooling in kindergarten. They were confident about what their students needed and sought greater trust in their own knowledge and capabilities as teachers, and they often discussed validating children’s language and literacy practices. Concurrently, teachers often talked about moving from or fixing children’s home practices, or modeling correct (academic) practices. Informed by the findings of this study, early childhood teachers can work to reconstruct definitions of language and literacy as we engage working-class children’s multiple, purposeful, and sophisticated ways of making and assigning meaning and of communicating (i.e., their literacy and language practices).

description: In his Ph.D. thesis, Burak Ozbagci described an algorithm computing signatures of Lefschetz fibrations where the input is a factorization of the monodromy into a product of Dehn twists. In this note, we give a reformulation of Ozbagci's algorithm which becomes much easier to implement. Our main tool is Wall's non-additivity formula applied to what we call partial fiber sum decomposition of a Lefschetz fibration over 2-disk. We show that our algorithm works for bordered Lefschetz fibrations over disk and it yields a formula for the signature of branched covers where the branched loci are regular fibers. As an application, we give the explicit monodromy factorization of a Lefschetz fibration over disk whose total space has arbitrarily large positive signature for any positive fiber genus.

description: Word sense disambiguation has developed as a sub-area of natural language processing, as if, like parsing, it was a well-defined task which was a pre-requisite to a wide range of language-understanding applications. First, I review earlier work which shows that a set of senses for a word is only ever defined relative to a particular human purpose, and that a view of word senses as part of the linguistic furniture lacks theoretical underpinnings. Then, I investigate whether and how word sense ambiguity is in fact a problem for different varieties of NLP application.

description: OZESTHERIA GEN. NOV.  SCHWENTNER & RICHTER   Etymology: The name is derived from Oz, a colloquial abbreviation for Australia (the only continent the genus is known from) and Estheria, a former name for the Cyzicidae, which was established by Rüppel (1837) and is still part of several generic names within the Spinicaudata.
 Diagnosis: Overall morphology resembles that of other Cyzicidae; carapace with umbo and with or without sculpturing between growth lines; condyle either short and rounded or elongated and pointed; male and female rostrum without posterior margin (in contrast to Eocyzicus and Cyzicus); posterior trunk segments with several dorsal spines (in contrast to Eocyzicus, which features only one spine per segment); telson with numerous, irregular spines; scales at the tip of the movable finger of the male claspers always slender and claw-like.
 Type species: Ozestheria lutraria (Brady, 1886).
 Further species: The two Australian species formerly assigned to Caenestheriella are transferred to Ozestheria gen. nov., namely Ozestheria mariae (Olesen & Timms, 2005) and Ozestheria packardi (Brady, 1886) including all three varieties of the latter Ozestheria packardi var. typical (Spencer & Hall, 1896), O. packardi var. cancellata (Spencer & Hall, 1896), and Ozestheria packardi var. minor (Spencer & Hall, 1896). Furthermore, all species formerly assigned to Caenestheria are now transferred to Ozestheria gen. nov., namely Ozestheria berneyi (Gurney, 1927), Ozestheria dictyon (Spencer & Hall, 1896), Ozestheria elliptica (Sars, 1897), A. lutraria (Brady, 1886), Ozestheria rubra (Henry, 1924), Ozestheria rufa (Dakin, 1914), and Ozestheria sarsii (Sayce, 1903) (for more details, see Taxonomic implications). The assignment of O. rufa, O. dictyon, and O. elliptica to Ozestheria gen. nov. is somehow ambiguous because no specimens of these species were available in the present study; however, our results strongly suggest that all Australian species share a common ancestry.
 Distribution: The genus is only known from Australia.

description: We report generation and measurement of a squeezed vacuum from a semi-monolithic Fabry-Perot optical parametric oscillator (OPO) up to 100 MHz at 1550 nm. The output coupler of the OPO is a flat surface of a nonlinear crystal with partially reflecting coating, which enables direct coupling with waveguide modules. Using the OPO, we observed 6.2dB of squeezing at 2 MHz and 3.0 dB of squeezing at 100 MHz. The OPO operates at the optimal wavelength to minimize propagation losses in silica waveguides and looks towards solving a bottleneck of downsizing these experiments: that of coupling between a squeezer and a waveguide.

description: We prove that the join of two sets may actually fall into a lower level of the extended low hierarchy than either of the sets. In particular, there exist sets that are not in the second level of the extended low hierarchy, EL_2, yet their join is in EL_2. That is, in terms of extended lowness, the join operator can lower complexity. Since in a strong intuitive sense the join does not lower complexity, our result suggests that the extended low hierarchy is unnatural as a complexity measure. We also study the closure properties of EL_ and prove that EL_2 is not closed under certain Boolean operations. To this end, we establish the first known (and optimal) EL_2 lower bounds for certain notions generalizing Selman's P-selectivity, which may be regarded as an interesting result in its own right.

description: Higher superconducting critical temperature and large-area epsilon-near-zero interfaces are two long-standing goals of Condensed Matter Physics and Optics. Motivated by the recent advancements of experimental interests on metallic nanostructures, we have theoretically investigated some selected bimetallic FCC combinations starting from large-area interface to embedded and doped two-dimensional (2D) nanostructures. Using different first-principles techniques, encompassing density functional theory (DFT), time-dependent DFT (TDDFT), phonon and DFT-coupled quantum transport, we propose the prospects of some selective bimetallic nanostructures like Au/Ag and Pt/Pd to exhibit exotic electronic phenomena. For 2D doped and embedded nanostructures of these systems, non-trivial band-structure and Fermi-surface topology may be emblematic to the presence of instabilities like charge density waves. We specifically highlight the optical attributes extracted from the TDDFT calculations for these systems, where interfacial morphology induced band-localization leads to near-zero behavior of both real and imaginary parts of the dynamical dielectric response is observed in the ultra-violet to visible (UV-vis) optical range. Low-energy intra-band plasmonic oscillations present for individual metallic surfaces are completely suppressed for embedded and doped nanostructures. Phonon-dispersion of the model systems indicates the presence of soft phonons and dynamical instabilities. Quantum transport calculations on simplest possible device made out of these bimetallic systems reveals generation of highly transmitting pockets over the cross-sectional area for some selected device geometry. We envisage that, if observed experimentally, such systems may lead to many fascinating physics and applications in many diverse fields ranging from condensed matter physics to optics or even more.

description: Weyl conformal geometry may play a role in early cosmology where effective theory at short distances becomes conformal. Weyl conformal geometry also has a built-in geometric Stueckelberg mechanism: it is broken spontaneously to Riemannian geometry after a Weyl gauge transformation (of "gauge fixing") while Stueckelberg mechanism re-arranges the degrees of freedom, conserving their number ($n_{df}$). The Weyl gauge field ($ω_μ$) of local scale transformations acquires a mass after absorbing a compensator (dilaton), decouples, and Weyl connection becomes Riemannian. Mass generation has thus a dynamic origin, as a transition from Weyl to Riemannian geometry. We show that a "gauge fixing" symmetry transformation of the original Weyl quadratic gravity action in its Weyl geometry formulation immediately gives the Einstein-Proca action for the Weyl gauge field and a positive cosmological constant, plus matter action (if present). As a result, the Planck scale is an {\it emergent} scale, where Weyl gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken and Einstein action is the broken phase of Weyl action. This is in contrast to local scale invariant models (no gauging) where a negative kinetic term (ghost dilaton) remains present and $n_{df}$ is not conserved when this symmetry is broken. The mass of $ω_μ$, setting the non-metricity scale, can be much smaller than $M_\text{Planck}$, for ultraweak values of the coupling ($q$). If matter is present, a positive contribution to the Planck scale from a scalar field ($ϕ_1$) vev induces a negative (mass)$^2$ term for $ϕ_1$ and spontaneous breaking of the symmetry under which it is charged. These results are immediate when using a Weyl geometry formulation of an action instead of its Riemannian picture. Briefly, Weyl gauge symmetry is physically relevant and its role in high scale physics should be reconsidered.

description: We present a novel approach to lexical error recovery on textual input. An advanced robust tokenizer has been implemented that can not only correct spelling mistakes, but also recover from segmentation errors. Apart from the orthographic considerations taken, the tokenizer also makes use of linguistic expectations extracted from a training corpus. The idea is to arrange Hidden Markov Models (HMM) in multiple layers where the HMMs in each layer are responsible for different aspects of the processing of the input. We report on experimental evaluations with alternative probabilistic language models to guide the lexical error recovery process.

description: The AMS-02 experiment has ushered cosmic-ray physics into precision era. In a companion paper, we designed an improved method to calibrate propagation models on B/C data. Here we provide a robust prediction of the $\bar{p}$ flux, accounting for several sources of uncertainties and their correlations. Combined with a correlation matrix for the $\bar{p}$ data, we show that the latter are consistent with a secondary origin. This paper presents key elements relevant to the dark matter search in this channel, notably by pointing out the inherent difficulties in achieving predictions at the percent-level precision.

Time-rescaled quantum dynamics as a shortcut to adiabaticity
Creators: name: Bernardo, Bertúlio de Lima
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The design of quantum control methods has been shown to greatly improve the performance of many evolving quantum technologies. To this end, the usage of adiabatic dynamics to drive quantum systems is seriously limited by the action of environment-induced noise and decoherence. In this spirit, fast quantum processes known as shortcuts to adiabaticity have been developed as alternatives to adiabatic protocols with a myriad of potential applications. Here, we develop a new state-independent mechanism to speed up the evolution of an arbitrary quantum dynamical system by simply rescaling the time of a reference driving process; an approach which can also work as a shortcut to adiabaticity. Our findings are illustrated for three systems, namely the parametric oscillator, the transport of a particle in a harmonic trap, and the spin-1/2 in a magnetic field.

Archaeobotanical investigations at Khok Phanom Di, Central Thailand
Creators: name: Thompson, Gillian Beverly
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1992

description: This thesis concerns the role of plants in the lives, and especially the diet, of the prehistoric potting community at Khok Phanom Di, a large mound situated on the Bang Pakong floodplain at the head of the Gulf of Thailand. The site lies on the southeastern seaboard, currently more than 20 km from the coast, but was occupied between 2000-1500 BC, on a higher shoreline. Excavations during 1985 involved extensive and systematic flotation to extract charred plant remains from a 500 year stratigraphy, almost 7 m deep. Charcoal, seeds and the remains of rice have been examined, together with remarkably well preserved coprolites, mineralised wood, and fibres, possibly the remains of burial shrouds. There were also impressions of leaves and stems for which identification has not been attempted. The archaeobotanical materials from the site contribute to environmental reconstruction and an understanding of the use of plant resources by this mangrove-based community. This archaeobotanical study stands in isolation in mainland Southeast Asia in its scope and methodology. Reference collections have been established and ethnobotanical surveys undertaken in the mangroves and adjacent lowlands of southeastern Thailand. Special emphasis was given to the taphonomy of rice. An ethnographic model of rice processing is explored. Comparisons between methods of post-harvest processing of rice and those for wheats and barley, show that rice waste products are less likely to be exposed to fire during processing, which helps to explain why rice is less well represented in the charred archaeobotanical record. Diagnostic criteria for distinguishing between the remains of wild and domesticated rice using SEM studies of lemma and palea features have been investigated. Reniform abscission scars and the absence awns in some of the archaeological husks suggest that the Khok Phanom Di people had access to domesticated rice supplies. Shell harvesting knives and stone hoes confirm that the community was involved in some form of cultivation, probably in ephemeral, freshwater swamps inland. This research has extended beyond the analysis of the plant remains to a broader view of the plant communities (mangrove, saltflats and freshwater swamps) within access of the site. Ethnographic, ethnobotanical and ecological observations are used are used to examine these habitats in terms of possible resource use, and thus to the broad subsistence base beyond the carbohydrate staple.
Cross-sectional Learning of Extremal Dependence among Financial Assets

description: We propose a novel probabilistic model to facilitate the learning of multivariate tail dependence of multiple financial assets. Our method allows one to construct from known random vectors, e.g., standard normal, sophisticated joint heavy-tailed random vectors featuring not only distinct marginal tail heaviness, but also flexible tail dependence structure. The novelty lies in that pairwise tail dependence between any two dimensions is modeled separately from their correlation, and can vary respectively according to its own parameter rather than the correlation parameter, which is an essential advantage over many commonly used methods such as multivariate $t$ or elliptical distribution. It is also intuitive to interpret, easy to track, and simple to sample comparing to the copula approach. We show its flexible tail dependence structure through simulation. Coupled with a GARCH model to eliminate serial dependence of each individual asset return series, we use this novel method to model and forecast multivariate conditional distribution of stock returns, and obtain notable performance improvements in multi-dimensional coverage tests. Besides, our empirical finding about the asymmetry of tails of the idiosyncratic component as well as the market component is interesting and worth to be well studied in the future.

description: A reliable and accurate forecasting model for crop yields is of crucial importance for efficient decision-making process in the agricultural sector. However, due to weather extremes and uncertainties, most forecasting models for crop yield are not reliable and accurate. For measuring the uncertainty and obtaining further information of future crop yields, a probability density forecasting model based on quantile random forest and Epanechnikov kernel function (QRF-SJ) is proposed. The nonlinear structure of random forest is applied to change the quantile regression model for building the probabilistic forecasting model. Epanechnikov kernel function and solve-the equation plug-in approach of Sheather and Jones are used in the kernel density estimation. A case study using the annual crop yield of groundnut and millet in Ghana is presented to illustrate the efficiency and robustness of the proposed technique. The values of the prediction interval coverage probability and prediction interval normalized average width for the two crops show that the constructed prediction intervals capture the observed yields with high coverage probability. The probability density curves show that QRF-SJ method has a very high ability to forecast quality prediction intervals with a higher coverage probability. The feature importance gave a score of the importance of each weather variable in building the quantile regression forest model. The farmer and other stakeholders are able to realize the specific weather variable that affect the yield of a selected crop through feature importance. The proposed method and its application on crop yield dataset are the first of its kind in literature.
