Chronologie et historicité dans Trente Arpents

description: L'oeuvre de Ringuet, Trente arpents (1938), constitue une sorte de chronique de I'epoque qu'il raconte. De la longue serie des romans du terroir au Quebec, Trente arpents se distingue principalement comme l'un des premiers romans dits realistes, une esthetique tardivement issue de la litterature europeenne du 19ieme siecle. Le cadre de Taction dans Trente arpents suit un deroulement precis et lineaire de la marche du temps. On remarque davantage dans la fiction, un bon nombre d'evenements avec plusieurs references a des personnages historiques. Curieusement, aucune date n'est clairement mentionnee dans tout le recit. L'essentiel de la these sera done de construire une perspective qui fait ressortir le jeu de la chronologie dans la narration. L'etablissement d'un plan du roman, d'apres les notes de Ringuet, demontrera que I'auteur poursuit un objectif structure, que ses sources sont bien documentees et que la chronologie joue un role tres important dans son projet de roman. Les resultats obtenus par la recherche d'une chronologie precisement datee seront enfin susceptibles de confirmer la forte referentialite de la fiction et le caractere realiste de la composition du recit. II importe de specifier que le centre de cette etude est done la discussion detail lee des donnees chronologiques de la narration et une analyse des rapports que ce roman entretient avec le plan historique. L'objectif de l'analyse chronologique se divise en plusieurs categories distinctes: a) Les dates assurees: reperes surs; b) Les erreurs d'ordre mathematique; c) Les ecarts explicables: arrondissement de chiffres; d) Les effets rhetoriques. Les resultats tires des recherches sont rassembles en conclusion. L'examen systematique du respect de la chronologie dans la construction du recit demontrera bien que Ringuet, avant d'elaborer son recit, delimite une epoque tres circonscrite dans laquelle se deroulera son aventure romanesque. Dans Trente arpents, le romancier cherche a s'en tenir a une observation objective de la vie paysanne au Quebec et i l met en oeuvre une composition rigoureuse pour atteindre a la verity de son sujet. D'apres Ringuet, la chronologie coherente aide alors a cultiver 1'illusion du reel dans I'univers du roman realiste.

description: We present a geometrical unification theory in a Kaluza-Klein approach that achieve the geometrization of a generic gauge theory bosonic component. We show how it is possible to derive the gauge charge conservation from the invariance of the model under extra-dimensional translations and to geometrize gauge connections for spinors, thus we can introduce the matter just by free spinorial fields. Then, we present the applications to i)a pentadimensional manifold $V^{4}\otimes S^{1}$, so reproducing the original Kaluza-Klein theory, unless some extensions related to the rule of the scalar field contained in the metric and the introduction of matter by spinors with a phase dependence from the fifth coordinate, ii)a seven-dimensional manifold $V^{4}\otimes S^{1}\otimes S^{2}$, in which we geometrize the electro-weak model by introducing two spinors for any leptonic family and quark generation and a scalar field with two components with opposite hypercharge, responsible of spontaneous symmetry breaking.

description: We study the phenomenon of Unruh effect in a massless scalar field theory quantized on the light-front in the general light-front frame. We determine the uniformly accelerating coordinates in such a frame and through a direct transformation show that the propagator of the theory has a thermal character in the uniformly accelerating coordinate system with a temperature given by Tolman's law. We also carry out a systematic analysis of this phenomenon from the Hilbert space point of view and show that the vacuum of this theory appears as a thermal vacuum to a Rindler observer with the same temperature as given by Tolman's law.

description: Public preferences for nonmarket services of preserved land in Delaware are measured using two survey techniques. The results of a conjoint experiment, using a sample of 199 Delawareans, suggest that the environmental and agricultural attributes of preserved land are most important to the residents. The conjoint results also suggest that these services are of substantial value to Delawareans; at the margin, at least, agricultural and environmental preserved land provide net benefits to the public. The analytic hierarchy process is used to assess separate survey results from 129 Delawareans. The results provide specific weights on the relative importance of attributes and qualities of preserved land, which in large part replicate and reinforce the results of the conjoint experiment. Overall, Delawareans seem to be most concerned with keeping farming as a way of life, having access to locally grown agricultural commodities, protecting water quality, and preserving rural character.

description: The merger of two neutron stars or of a neutron star and a black hole typically results in the formation of a post-merger accretion disk. Outflows from disks may dominate the overall ejecta from mergers and be a major source of r-process nuclei in our universe. We explore the parameter space of such disks, their outflows, and r-process yields by performing three-dimensional general-relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations with weak interactions and approximate neutrino transport. We discuss the mapping between initial binary parameters and the parameter space of resulting disks, chiefly characterized by their initial accretion rate. We demonstrate the existence of an ignition threshold for weak interactions at around $\sim 10^{-3} M_\odot\mathrm{s}^{-1}$ for typical parameters by means of analytic calculations and numerical simulations. We find a degenerate, self-regulated, neutrino-cooled regime above the threshold and an advection dominated regime below the threshold. Excess heating in the absence of neutrino cooling below the threshold leads to $\gtrsim 60\%$ of the initial disk mass being ejected in outflows, with typical velocities $\sim (0.1-0.2)c$, compared to $\lesssim 40\%$ at $\sim (0.1-0.15)c$ above the threshold. While disks below the threshold show suppressed production of light r-process elements, disks above the threshold can produce the entire range of r-process elements in good agreement with the observed solar system abundances. Disks below the ignition threshold may produce an overabundance of actinides seen in actinide-boost stars. As gravitational-wave detectors start to sample the neutron star merger parameter space, different disk realizations may be observable via their associated kilonova emission.

Spline-Based Adaptive Cancellation of Even-Order Intermodulation Distortions in LTE-A/5G RF Transceivers

description: Radio frequency transceivers operating in in-band full-duplex or frequency-division duplex mode experience strong transmitter leakage. Combined with receiver nonlinearities, this causes intermodulation products in the baseband, possibly with higher power than the desired receive signal. In order to restore the receiver signal-to-noise ratio in such scenarios, we propose two novel digital self-interference cancellation approaches based on spline interpolation. Both employ a Wiener structure, thereby matching the baseband model of the intermodulation effect. Unlike most state-of-the-art spline-based adaptive learning schemes, the proposed concept allows for complex-valued in- and out-put signals. The optimization of the model parameters is based on the stochastic gradient descent concept, where the convergence is supported by an appropriate step-size normalization. Additionally, we provide a gain control scheme and enable pipelining in order to facilitate a hardware implementation. An optional input transform improves the performance consistency for correlated sequences. In a realistic interference scenario, the proposed algorithms clearly outperform a state-of-the-art least mean squares variant with comparable complexity, which is specifically tailored to second-order intermodulation distortions. The high flexibility of the spline interpolation allows the spline-based Wiener models to match the performance of the kernel recursive least squares algorithm at less than 0.6% of the arithmetic operations.

Conditions of the quantum-limited operation of the QPC detector which prevent information loss through the scattering time and scattering phases are found for arbitrary coupling. We show that the phase information can be restored and used for the quantum-limited detection by inclusion of the QPC detector in the electronic Mach-Zehnder interferometer.

description: Multivariate Time Series (MTS) classification has gained importance over the past decade with the increase in the number of temporal datasets in multiple domains. The current state-of-the-art MTS classifier is a heavyweight deep learning approach, which outperforms the second-best MTS classifier only on large datasets. Moreover, this deep learning approach cannot provide faithful explanations as it relies on post hoc model-agnostic explainability methods, which could prevent its use in numerous applications. In this paper, we present XCM, an eXplainable Convolutional neural network for MTS classification. XCM is a new compact convolutional neural network which extracts information relative to the observed variables and time directly from the input data. Thus, XCM architecture enables a good generalization ability on both large and small datasets, while allowing the full exploitation of a faithful post hoc model-specific explainability method (Gradient-weighted Class Activation Mapping) by precisely identifying the observed variables and timestamps of the input data that are important for predictions. We first show that XCM outperforms the state-of-the-art MTS classifiers on both the large and small public UEA datasets. Then, we illustrate how XCM reconciles performance and explainability on a synthetic dataset and show that XCM enables a more precise identification of the regions of the input data that are important for predictions compared to the current deep learning MTS classifier also providing faithful explainability. Finally, we present how XCM can outperform the current most accurate state-of-the-art algorithm on a real-world application while enhancing explainability by providing faithful and more informative explanations.

description: Unitary gates are an interesting resource for quantum communication in part because they are always invertible and are intrinsically bidirectional. This paper explores these two symmetries: time-reversal and exchange of Alice and Bob. We will present examples of unitary gates that exhibit dramatic separations between forward and backward capacities (even when the back communication is assisted by free entanglement) and between entanglement-assisted and unassisted capacities, among many others. Along the way, we will give a general time-reversal rule for relating the capacities of a unitary gate and its inverse that will explain why previous attempts at finding asymmetric capacities failed. Finally, we will see how the ability to erase quantum information and destroy entanglement can be a valuable resource for quantum communication.

description: Normally a chess problem must have a unique solution, and is deemed unsound even if there are alternatives that differ only in the order in which the same moves are played. In an enumerative chess problem, the set of moves in the solution is (usually) unique but the order is not, and the task is to count the feasible permutations via an isomorphic problem in enumerative combinatorics. Almost all enumerative chess problems have been ``series-movers'', in which one side plays an uninterrupted series of moves, unanswered except possibly for one move by the opponent at the end. This can be convenient for setting up enumeration problems, but we show that other problem genres also lend themselves to composing enumerative problems. Some of the resulting enumerations cannot be shown (or have not yet been shown) in series-movers. This article is based on a presentation given at the banquet in honor of Richard Stanley's 60th birthday, and is dedicated to Stanley on this occasion.

description: The dark matter direct detection rates are highly correlated with the phase space distribution of dark matter particles in our galactic neighbourhood. In this paper, we make a systematic study of the impact of astrophysical uncertainties on electron recoil events at the direct detection experiments with Xenon and semiconductor detectors. We find that within the standard halo model there can be up to $ \sim 50\%$ deviation from the fiducial choice in the exclusion bounds from these observational uncertainties. For non-standard halo models, we report a similar deviation from the fiducial standard halo model when fitted with recent cosmological $N$-body simulations while even larger deviations are obtained in case of the observational uncertainties.

Frustrated Quantum Spins at finite Temperature: Pseudo-Majorana functional RG approach

description: The pseudofermion functional renormalization group (PFFRG) method has proven to be a powerful numerical approach to treat frustrated quantum spin systems. In its usual implementation, however, the complex fermionic representation of spin operators introduces unphysical Hilbert space sectors which renders an application at finite temperatures inaccurate. In this work, we formulate a general functional renormalization group approach based on Majorana fermions to overcome these difficulties. We, particularly, implement spin operators via an $SO(3)$ symmetric Majorana representation which does not introduce any unphysical states and, hence, remains applicable to quantum spin models at finite temperatures. We apply this scheme, dubbed pseudo Majorana functional renormalization group (PMFRG) method, to frustrated Heisenberg models on small spin clusters as well as square and triangular lattices. Computing the finite temperature behavior of spin correlations and thermodynamic quantities such as free energy and heat capacity, we find good agreement with exact diagonalization and the high-temperature series expansion down to moderate temperatures. We, particularly, observe a significantly enhanced accuracy of the PMFRG compared to the PFFRG at finite temperatures. More generally, we conclude that the development of functional renormalization group approaches with Majorana fermions considerably extends the scope of applicability of such methods.

Generation of a liposome based platelet substitute : insertion of GPIb-IX into liposomes
Creators: name: Brockmann, Nadine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The provision of platelets for transfusion is a major function of a blood transfusion service. Since platelets have a short 5-day shelf life, may carry known and theoretical risks of donor derived transfusion products, and the demand exceeds supply, it is necessary to look to the creation of alternative products. A liposome based platelet substitute is one of such alternatives. The initial response in the formation of a platelet aggregate during a thrombotic event is the adhesion of the platelets to the damaged endothelium. This occurs via the plasma protein von Willebrand factor (vWF) that becomes activated in the blood in response to turbulent blood flow. Collagen-immobilized vWF binds to the platelet glycoprotein Ib-IX-V (GPIb-IX-V) complex, which is the initial platelet receptor involved in adhesion. Intracellular signaling linked to GPIb-IX-V binding leads to platelet activation, shape change and granule release. During this study, GPIb-IX was purified from outdated platelet concentrates and was inserted into 100 - 200 nm unilamellar liposome vesicles containing 25 mole% cholesterol, 10 mole% l,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE) and 65 mole% l,2-dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DPPC). From 25 platelet concentrates, 0.925 mg GPIb-IX was purified which represented 18% of the protein in that sample. Outdated platelet concentrates were lysed with Triton X-100. The lysate was first subjected to the affinity chromatography on a wheat germ agglutinin agarose (WGA-agarose) column, and in some cases, was followed by an anion exchange mono- Q-Sepharose column. The final purification after WGA-agarose was 180,000 fold from platelet concentrates. GPIb-IX was incorporated into the liposomes using detergent exchange dialysis. Flow cytometry revealed that GPIb as well as GPIX was present on the external liposome surface. This result was confirmed by fluorescence microscopy. To assess the function of liposomal GPIb-IX, the liposomes were exposed to vWF, ristocetin and collagen type III. Results showed that the presence of GPIb-IX in the liposomes significantly enhanced vWF binding to the liposomes; therefore, the liposome product generated may act as a platelet aggregation enhancer.

description: I briefly review magnetic effects in accretion physics, and then go on to discuss a possible central engine for gamma-ray bursts. A rotating black hole immersed in a non-axisymmetric magnetic field experiences a torque trying to align spin and field. I suggest that gamma-ray burst hosts may provide conditions where this effect allows rapid extraction of a significant fraction of the hole's rotational energy. I argue that much of the electromagnetic emission is in two narrow beams parallel and antiparallel to the asymptotic field direction. This picture suggests that only a mass 10^-5 Msun is expelled in a relativistic outflow, as required by the fireball picture.

description: Network management often relies on machine learning to make predictions about performance and security from network traffic. Often, the representation of the traffic is as important as the choice of the model. The features that the model relies on, and the representation of those features, ultimately determine model accuracy, as well as where and whether the model can be deployed in practice. Thus, the design and evaluation of these models ultimately requires understanding not only model accuracy but also the systems costs associated with deploying the model in an operational network. Towards this goal, this paper develops a new framework and system that enables a joint evaluation of both the conventional notions of machine learning performance (e.g., model accuracy) and the systems-level costs of different representations of network traffic. We highlight these two dimensions for two practical network management tasks, video streaming quality inference and malware detection, to demonstrate the importance of exploring different representations to find the appropriate operating point. We demonstrate the benefit of exploring a range of representations of network traffic and present Traffic Refinery, a proof-of-concept implementation that both monitors network traffic at 10 Gbps and transforms traffic in real time to produce a variety of feature representations for machine learning. Traffic Refinery both highlights this design space and makes it possible to explore different representations for learning, balancing systems costs related to feature extraction and model training against model accuracy.

description: The discrete spectrum of complex banded matrices which are compact perturbations of the standard banded matrix of order $p$ is under consideration. The rate of stabilization for the matrix entries sharp in the sense of order which provides finiteness of the discrete spectrum is found. The $p$-banded matrix with the discrete spectrum having exactly $p$ preassigned points on the interval $(-2,2)$ is constructed. The results are applied to the study of the discrete spectrum of asymptotically periodic complex Jacobi matrices.

description: Machine learning (ML) models are applied in an increasing variety of domains. The availability of large amounts of data and computational resources encourages the development of ever more complex and valuable models. These models are considered intellectual property of the legitimate parties who have trained them, which makes their protection against stealing, illegitimate redistribution, and unauthorized application an urgent need. Digital watermarking presents a strong mechanism for marking model ownership and, thereby, offers protection against those threats. This work presents a taxonomy identifying and analyzing different classes of watermarking schemes for ML models. It introduces a unified threat model to allow structured reasoning on and comparison of the effectiveness of watermarking methods in different scenarios. Furthermore, it systematizes desired security requirements and attacks against ML model watermarking. Based on that framework, representative literature from the field is surveyed to illustrate the taxonomy. Finally, shortcomings and general limitations of existing approaches are discussed, and an outlook on future research directions is given.

description: Origin and properties of non-Lorentzian spectral lines in linear chains of nanospheres are discussed. The lines are shown to be super-exponentially narrow with the characteristic width proportional to exp[-C(h/a)^3] where C is a numerical constant, h the spacing between the nanospheres in the chain and a the sphere radius. The fine structure of these spectral lines is also investigated.

description: Modern object detection networks pursuit higher precision on general object detection datasets, at the same time the computation burden is also increasing along with the improvement of precision. Nevertheless, the inference time and precision are both critical to object detection system which needs to be real-time. It is necessary to research precision improvement without extra computation cost. In this work, two modules are proposed to improve detection precision with zero cost, which are focus on FPN and detection head improvement for general object detection networks. We employ the scale attention mechanism to efficiently fuse multi-level feature maps with less parameters, which is called SA-FPN module. Considering the correlation of classification head and regression head, we use sequential head to take the place of widely-used parallel head, which is called Seq-HEAD module. To evaluate the effectiveness, we apply the two modules to some modern state-of-art object detection networks, including anchor-based and anchor-free. Experiment results on coco dataset show that the networks with the two modules can surpass original networks by 1.1 AP and 0.8 AP with zero cost for anchor-based and anchor-free networks, respectively.

description: Finding hidden layers in complex networks is an important and a non-trivial problem in modern science. We explore the framework of quantum graphs to determine whether concealed parts of a multi-layer system exist and if so then what is their extent, i.e., how many unknown layers there are. Assuming that all information available is the time evolution of a wave propagation on a single layer of a network it is indeed possible to uncover that which is hidden by merely observing the dynamics. We present evidence on both synthetic and real-world networks that the frequency spectrum of the wave dynamics can express distinct features in the form of additional frequency peaks. These peaks exhibit dependence on the number of layers taking part in the propagation and thus allowing for the extraction of said number. We show that in fact, with sufficient observation time, one can fully reconstruct the row-normalised adjacency matrix spectrum. We compare our propositions to a machine learning approach using a modified, for the purposes of multi-layer systems, wave packet signature method.

The decline and fall of GRS 1915+105: the end is nigh?

description: The galactic microquasar GRS 1915+105 has been in a continuous state of outburst since 1992, over 20 times longer than any other black hole X-ray transient. Assuming that the outburst is powered via accretion of an irradiated gaseous disc, we calculate how the predicted outburst duration varies according to the efficiency of the self-irradiation mechanism. At least one current model leads to the conclusion that the end of the outburst is imminent. The timing of the decline of GRS 1915+105, whenever it arrives, will be an excellent discriminator of the self-irradiation mechanism in X-ray transients, allowing us to infer the fraction of the disc that is heated by the incident X-rays and the magnitude of the mass loss rate in the form of a wind.

description: We consider solutions of the Yang-Mills-Higgs system coupled to gravity in asymptotically de Sitter spacetime. The basic features of two classes of solutions are discussed, one of them corresponding to magnetic monopoles, the other one to sphalerons. We find that although the total mass within the cosmological horizon of these configurations is finite, their mass evaluated at timelike infinity generically diverges. Also, no solutions exist in the absence of a Higgs potential.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF UTI MUTUAL FUND IN MANAGING PUBLIC SECTOR PENSION FUNDS IN INDIA
Creators: name: Priya, A. Patnaik
Publisher: name: noland journal
Year: 2024
Subjects: UTIMF; Treynor Ratio; Benchmark Index

description: The present study endeavours to evaluate the performance of various schemes of pension funds sponsored by the UTI MF. UTI Mutual Fund is the first mutual fund player in India that introduced the pension fund namely, UTI Retirement Benefit Fund in 1994 with two variants i.e, (i) UTI Retirement Benefit Fund- Regular and (ii) UTI Retirement Benefit Fund- Direct. The study covers a period of 10 years from 2013-14 to 2022-23.  The fund performance has been measured in terms of average return, standard deviation, and beta values. The Treynor index has also been calculated in this study to find out the risk-return associated with it. The returns of the schemes have also been compared with the benchmark index. The study revealed that, the UTI Retirement Benefit Fund- Direct scheme has performed better than the UTI Retirement Benefit Fund- Regular over the period. It was also found that the benchmark index performance was better than both the above two schemes
The Absolute Neutrino Mass Scale, Neutrino Mass Spectrum, Majorana CP-Violation and Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay

description: Assuming 3-$ν$ mixing, massive Majorana neutrinos and neutrinoless double-beta (\betabeta-) decay generated only by the (V-A) charged current weak interaction via the exchange of the three Majorana neutrinos, we briefly review the predictions for the effective Majorana mass $\meff$ in \betabeta-decay and reanalyse the physics potential of future \betabeta-decay experiments to provide information on the type of neutrino mass spectrum, the absolute scale of neutrino masses, and Majorana CP-violation in the lepton sector. Using as input the most recent experimental results on neutrino oscillation parameters and the prospective precision that can be achieved in future measurements of the latter, we perform a statistical analysis of a \betabeta-decay half-life measurement taking into account experimental and theoretical errors, as well as the uncertainty implied by the imprecise knowledge of the corresponding nuclear matrix element (NME). We show, in particular, how the possibility to discriminate between the different types of neutrino mass spectra and the constraints on the absolute neutrino mass scale depend on the mean value and the experimental error of $\meff$ and on the NME uncertainty. The constraints on Majorana CP-violation phases in the neutrino mixing matrix, which can be obtained from a measurement of $\meff$ and additional data on the sum of neutrino masses, are also investigated in detail. We estimate the required experimental accuracies on both types of measurements, and the required precision in the NME permitting to address the issue of Majorana CP-violation in the lepton sector.

description: We explore the imprint of the cosmological hydrogen recombination lines on the power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background (CMB). In particular, we focus our analysis in the three strongest lines for the Balmer, Paschen and Brackett series of hydrogen. We expect changes in the angular power spectrum due to these lines on the level of $0.3 μK$ for the H$α$ line, being maximum at small angular scales ($\ell \approx 870$). The morphology of the signal is very rich. It leads to relatively narrow spectral features ($Δν/ ν\sim 10^{-1}$), with several regions in the power spectrum showing a characteristic change of sign of the effect as we probe different redshifts or different multipoles by measuring the power spectrum at different frequencies. It also has a very peculiar dependence on the multipole scale, connected with the details of the transfer function at the epoch of scattering. In order to compute the optical depths for these transitions, we have evolved numerically the populations of the levels of the hydrogen atom during recombination, treating simultaneously the evolution of helium. For the hydrogen atom, we follow each angular momentum state separately, up to the level n=10. Foregrounds and other frequency dependent contaminants, as Rayleigh scattering, may be a important limitation for these measurements, although the peculiar frequency and angular dependences of the effect which we are discussing might permit to separate it. Detection of this signal using future narrow-band spectral observations can give information about the details of how the cosmic recombination proceeds, and how Silk damping operates during recombination.

The Light Echo Around Supernova 2003gd in Messier 74

description: We confirm the discovery of a light echo around the Type II-plateau Supernova 2003gd in Messier 74 (NGC 628), seen in images obtained with the High Resolution Channel of the Advanced Camera for Surveys on-board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), as part of a larger Snapshot program on the late-time emission from supernovae. The analysis of the echo we present suggests that it is due to the SN light pulse scattered by a sheet of dust grains located about 113 pc in front of the SN, and that these grains are not unlike those assumed to be in the diffuse Galactic interstellar medium, both in composition and in size distribution. The echo is less consistent with scattering off carbon-rich grains, and, if anything, the grains may be somewhat more silicate-rich than the Galactic dust composition. The echo also appears to be more consistent with a SN distance closer to 7 Mpc than 9 Mpc. This further supports the conclusion we reached elsewhere that the initial mass for the SN progenitor was relatively low (about 8--9 M_suns). HST should be used to continue to monitor the echo in several bands, particularly in the blue, to better constrain its origin.
