description: The aim of this paper is to assess whether the impacts of real exchange rate undervaluation and domestic technological capabilities on growth are stable across development levels. On the one hand, a real exchange undervaluation measure is constructed based on the purchasing-power-parity theory corrected by the Balassa-Samuelson effect. On the other hand, the index of technological specialization is used as a measure of domestic technological capabilities. Time-series-cross-section-growth regressions with development level interactions are used to test the stability of these variables’ growth impact. The results show that real undervaluation is a growth driver across all development levels, once technological capabilities are accounted for; however, it is more important for developing and developed countries than for emerging markets. The results also suggest that developing countries grow faster when they are globally competitive in low-technology manufacturing and natural-resource-intensive industries. This research attempts to explain the lack of significance found in previous studies of the growth impact of real undervaluation in middle-income countries by accounting for an explicit role for domestic technological capabilities in the development process.

description: The habitability of a planet depends on various factors, such as delivery of water during the formation, the co-evolution of the interior and the atmosphere, as well as the stellar irradiation which changes in time. Since an unknown number of rocky exoplanets may operate in a one-plate convective regime, i.e., without plate tectonics, we aim at understanding under which conditions planets in such a stagnant-lid regime may support habitable surface conditions. Understanding the interaction of the planetary interior and outgassing of volatiles with the atmosphere in combination with the evolution of the host star is crucial to determine the potential habitability. M-dwarf stars in particular possess a high-luminosity pre-main sequence phase which endangers the habitability of planets around them via water loss. We therefore explore the potential of secondary outgassing from the planetary interior to rebuild a water reservoir allowing for habitability at a later stage. We compute the boundaries of the habitable zone around M, K, G, and F-dwarf stars using a 1D cloud-free radiative-convective climate model accounting for the outgassing history of CO2 and H2O from an interior evolution and outgassing model for different interior compositions and stellar luminosity evolutions. The outer edge of the habitable zone strongly depends on the amount of CO2 outgassed from the interior, while the inner edge is mainly determined via the stellar irradiation, as soon as a sufficiently large water reservoir has been outgassed. A build-up of a secondary water reservoir for planets around M-dwarf stars is possible even after severe water loss during the high luminosity pre-main sequence phase as long as some water has been retained within the mantle. Earth-like stagnant-lid planets allow for habitable surface conditions within a continuous habitable zone that is dependent on interior composition.

description: One of the fundamental unanswered questions in the general theory of relativity is whether ``naked'' singularities, that is singular events which are visible from infinity, may form with positive probability in the process of gravitational collapse. The conjecture that the answer to this question is in the negative has been called ``cosmic censorship.'' The present paper, which is a continuation previous work, addresses this question in the context of the spherical gravitational collapse of a scalar field.

description: Educational technologies in university education are widely promoted for their potential to enrich, enhance and extend student laearning experiences (Hedberg, 2006). In the last decade, Learning Management Systems (LMS) have become a standard educational technology solution at most universities. While LMS have been purchased with enthusiasm, they have not always been integrated into university teacher practices with the same enthusiasm, and little work has been completed to assess differential effects across individual teachers, contexts and disciplines. If universities hope to encourage uptake of LMS and other technologies, studies are required to examine how teachers reconcile and translate their beliefs in these envirnments. Research into university teacher beliefs has suggested that belief systems infiltrate teacher thinking, planning, decision-making, behaviour and their application of educational technologies (Bain, McNaught, Lueckenhausen, & Mills, 1998: Reeves & Reeves, 1997).

description: Rodents are important intermediate and paratenic hosts for carnivore parasites, including the important zoonotic agents Toxoplasma, Echinococcus and Toxocara. Monitoring of such parasites in rodents can be used to detect increasing risks for human and veterinary public health. Rodents were trapped at four sites in Berlin, two near the city center, two at the periphery. PCRs were conducted to detect Coccidia (target ITS-1) and specifically Toxoplasma gondii (repetitive element) in brain and ascarids (ITS-2) in muscle or brain tissue. During necropsies, metacestodes were collected and identified using ITS-2 and 12S rRNA PCRs. An ELISA to detect antibodies against Toxocara canis ES antigens was performed. Within the 257 examined rodents, the most frequently observed parasite was Frenkelia glareoli predominantly found in Myodes glareolus. T. gondii was only detected in 12 rodents and Microtus spp. (although strongly underrepresented) had a significantly increased chance of being positive. Neither Echinococcus nor typical Taenia parasites of dogs and cats were found but Mesocestoides litteratus and Taenia martis metacestodes were identified which can cause severe peritoneal or ocular cysticercosis in dogs, primates and humans. Using PCR, the ascarids T. canis (n = 8), Toxocara cati (4) and Parascaris sp. (1) were detected predominantly in muscles. Seroprevalence of T. canis was 14.2% and ELISA was thus more sensitive than PCR to detect infection with this parasite. Non-parametric multidimensional scaling and cluster analysis revealed that parasite communities could be grouped into an urban and a peri-urban cluster with high frequency of ascarid- positive rodents in urban and high frequency of F. glareoli in peri-urban sites. Prevalence rates of parasites in rodents with potential impact for human or veterinary public health are considerable and the monitoring of transmission cycles of carnivore parasites in intermediate rodent hosts is recommended to estimate the health risks arising from wild and domesticated carnivores

description: A motion of neutral and charged particles located nearby a metal surface under joint action of time-periodic electric field E(t) directed normally to the surface and permanent magnetic field H directed along the surface has been considered. I has been shown that due to a nonlinearity of the system there exists a directed transport of the particles perpendicularly to both magnetic and electric fields with velocity which is proportional to H and a square of E. The mean velocity has been evaluated for charged (ions,electrons etc.) and neutral (atoms, molecules, nano-size clusters etc.) particles adsorbed on a metal surface. Corresponding surface electric current has been found as a function of a frequency of the electric field and material parameters. It has been noted that the similar phenomena appear in a bulk of electrically inhomogeneous media.

description: EQCD is a 3D bosonic theory containing SU(3) and an adjoint scalar, which efficiently describes the infrared, nonperturbative sector of hot QCD and which is highly amenable to lattice study. We improve the matching between lattice and continuum EQCD by determining the final unknown coefficient in the O(a) matching, an additive scalar mass renormalization. We do this numerically by using the symmetry-breaking phase transition point of the theory as a line of constant physics. This prepares the ground for a precision study of the transverse momentum diffusion coefficient C(qperp) within this theory. As a byproduct, we provide an updated version of the EQCD phase diagram.

description: The safety of suspension bridges depends on its main cables which are constructed of thousands of high strength steel wires radially clamped together at certain locations along the cable. After many years of service, these cables are showing signs of serious distress with many wires corroded and even broken inside. A new methodology to determine the reliability and safety of this structure is suggested in this research work. A three dimensional random field simulation is used to determine the remaining tensile strength in the cable. The key idea is to determine how an individual wire break affects the load transfer to the surrounding wires. This local damage eventually causes a global reduction in the load carrying capacity of the cable, up to a complete failure. A Monte Carlo technique is used to generate realizations of the wires' strength within a finite element model. Among the major contributions of the thesis is a novel technique for modeling the contact-friction mechanism between thousands of wires that account for load recovery in broken wires due to friction induced by radial clamps. The idea is to place elasto-plastic springs at the contact points between wires. These springs have varying parameters depending on their proximity to the clamping loads and are assigned according to the Boussinesq's solution to a point load in half space. While traditional contact algorithms have difficulties converging on this problem, this technique converges in few iterations. Moreover, parallelization of the problem enables a full stochastic analysis to determine the effect of corrosion uncertainty on the cable's failure load. This method represents a dramatic improvement compared to the current inspection methods that are unreliable and expensive.

description: Traffic classification has various applications in today's Internet, from resource allocation, billing and QoS purposes in ISPs to firewall and malware detection in clients. Classical machine learning algorithms and deep learning models have been widely used to solve the traffic classification task. However, training such models requires a large amount of labeled data. Labeling data is often the most difficult and time-consuming process in building a classifier. To solve this challenge, we reformulate the traffic classification into a multi-task learning framework where bandwidth requirement and duration of a flow are predicted along with the traffic class. The motivation of this approach is twofold: First, bandwidth requirement and duration are useful in many applications, including routing, resource allocation, and QoS provisioning. Second, these two values can be obtained from each flow easily without the need for human labeling or capturing flows in a controlled and isolated environment. We show that with a large amount of easily obtainable data samples for bandwidth and duration prediction tasks, and only a few data samples for the traffic classification task, one can achieve high accuracy. We conduct two experiment with ISCX and QUIC public datasets and show the efficacy of our approach.

description: The increasing richness of data related to cold dense matter, from laboratory experiments to neutron-star observations, requires a framework for constraining the properties of such matter that makes use of all relevant information. Here, we present a rigorous but practical Bayesian approach that can include diverse evidence, such as nuclear data and the inferred masses, radii, tidal deformabilities, moments of inertia, and gravitational binding energies of neutron stars. We emphasize that the full posterior probability distributions of measurements should be used rather than, as is common, imposing a cut on the maximum mass or other quantities. Our method can be used with any parameterization of the equation of state (EOS). We use both a spectral parameterization and a piecewise polytropic parameterization with variable transition densities to illustrate the implications of current measurements and show how future measurements in many domains could improve our understanding of cold catalyzed matter. We find that different types of measurements will play distinct roles in constraining the EOS in different density ranges. For example, better symmetry energy measurements will have a major influence on our understanding of matter somewhat below nuclear saturation density but little influence above that density. In contrast, precise radius measurements or multiple tidal deformability measurements of the quality of those from GW170817 or better will improve our knowledge of the EOS over a broader density range.

description: The Australian film and television industry is currently undergoing a major transformation, which ultimately will have significant impact on its practitioners. As an Australian filmmaker whose interest and ambition lie in more idiosyncratic and autobiographical films for cinema, I believe a close examination of these filmmaking aspirations in relation to the current codes and practices of the Australian film industry is necessary. Apart from some festivals and media interviews, for filmmakers there is little room for self-reflection. Having the opportunity to conduct a critical and in-depth examination of my work is vital for my professional development, as it signals a necessary shift from emerging filmmaker to the platform of a more mature and established filmmaking practice. The objective of this research work is to investigate whether socially conscious autobiographical cinematic documentary can be a viable filmmaking practice in Australia. This process of investigation is driven by a self-reflexive analysis of my studio projects, challenged, shaped and developed by the work and experience of other film practitioners and documentary theorists whose ideas relate closely to the problem at hand...

description: AmpliSIM, a French SME expert in numerical simulation services and project partner at IDRIS, collaborated in the SME HPC Adoption Programme in Europe (SHAPE), organised within the PRACE-4IP project. The aim of the project, DemocraSIM, is to enable air quality simulation as a commodity. To do so, AmpliSIM provides air quality modellers with a web service which allows the users to configure / launch / explore air quality numerical simulations without any requirements for software installation or an in-house calculation cluster. In the framework of this project, calculations were performed on the IDRIS supercomputer which allowed fast calculation using parallelisation. Thanks to IDRIS expertise, the AmpliSIM toolset, including numerical models and post processing tools, was improved to meet the standards of a supercomputing parallelised architecture. This led to large time reductions in simulation and post processing. Moreover, the capabilities of the web portal to connect to an HPC infrastructure were substantially improved, including improved security of the portal in order to meet IDRIS standards. Finally, the capability of the web portal to support concurrent user access was strengthened to offer excellent scalability properties.

Conquest of the four quarters : traditional accounts of the life of Śaṅkara
Creators: name: Bader, Jonathan
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1991

description: Some seven hundred years after Sankara wrote the learned commentaries that established his reputation as one of the foremost interpreters of Vedanta, a series of hagiographies began to emerge which glorified him as an incarnation of Siva. Although they were composed exclusively in Sanskrit, these works eventually secured him a place in popular culture. One text in particular stands out from the rest, the Sankaradigvijaya of Madhava. This work, composed between 1650 and 1800, skilfully brought together materials from several earlier hagiographies. Its popularity grew to such an extent that it came to eclipse the other works, which have languished in relative obscurity ever since. These hagiographies, along with the Saiikaradigvijaya, have been virtually ignored by critical scholars because they are of little historical value. Yet, the authors of these works had no intention of writing history. They sought to deify Sruikara and, to this end, mythography was a far more potent medium than biography. In this study historiographical concerns are largely left aside in focusing on the hagiographies composed prior to and including the Saiikaradigvijaya, i.e., eight texts in all. My primary aim is to consider how Sruikara has been received in India, and in particular to examine the conceptual models upon which his life story is constructed. The thesis is organized along the lines of the features that stand out most prominently in the hagiographies. Firstly, there are the mythic structures which provide not only the peaks but also the foundation of the narrative. The Sankara story is cast firmly within the framework of Saiva mythology: the protagonist is, above all, an avatara of Siva. Secondly, I have attached considerable importance to the sense of place. Sankara's grand tour of the sacred sites lends cohesion and continuity to the narrative. Ultimately his journey proves to be a quest for the throne of omniscience. Thirdly, there are the great debates which culminate in a digvijaya. Saiikara's conquest of the four quarters, along with his ascension to the throne of omniscience, highlights the complementarity of royal and ascetic values in traditional India. It is through the digvijaya that Sankara fulfills his mission of restoring harmony to a divided land, and so becomes a national hero. Finally, I have paid much attention to the legacy of Sankara as well as the continuity of the Advaita sampradaya, in order to emphasize that theirs is a living tradition.

description: In automatic chess problem composition, there may be a need to classify or label problems in terms of solvability (i.e. how difficult it is for the typical player to solve) for more efficient human consumption. Automatically classifying a chess problem as being easy, moderate or difficult therefore helps in that regard. In this article, we explain a formula for this that relies on five variables, i.e. chess engine solving time, total piece count, total piece value, move length and an adjusted number to represent the variations possible. The method was tested on samples of forced mates (3, 4 and 5-movers) including both published chess problems by human composers and computer-generated ones. Statistical analysis of the results was significant and as expected based on the groups tested. Such problems may therefore then be classified as ‘easy’, ‘moderate’ or ‘difficult’ based on percentile. The lowest third of scores is considered easy, for example. Longer sequences that do not end in checkmate (such as studies) is still an open problem in terms of solvability using this approach mainly because even good chess engines often cannot solve them conclusively enough to establish the time variable and the number of variations possible.

description: Based on fieldwork undertaken in Yuendumu, Central Australia from 2005 to 2008, this thesis is an ethnography of the place of singing and ceremony in the contemporary Warlpiri world. Core to religious life, 'traditional' ceremonies and their associated songlines have always been an important aspect of Warlpiri identity as they link people to their kin, country and Dreamings. Over the last few decades there has been a decline in the learning contexts and opportunities for the performance of many of these ceremonies, such that today most ceremonies do not hold the same relevance. This consideration is set against the backdrop of recent historical and demographic changes consequent on living in large settlements, dependent on welfare payments and store bought food. The features of Warlpiri songs and ceremonies are outlined as well as the contemporary contexts for the different genres of singing. It is shown how these songs and ceremonies reproduce people's ssociations with kin, country and Dreamings through their organisation and performance. The Kurdiji ceremony, in which both men and women are involved throughout, is presented as a central case study. It is held several times each summer for the purposes of male initiation and is particularly interesting as it is still of vital importance for all generations of Warlpiri people. While the numbers of people who attend individual performances and the scale of these ceremonies is increasing, it is in a vulnerable situation as the central songline that is core to its performance, and which guides the sequence of events for the entire night of its duration, is only known by a small group of older men. Once a domain in which people learned religious knowledge central to survival, Kurdiji! as one of the few ceremonies still held, is now more vital than ever, as through its performance core aspects of Warlpiri identity are maintained, particularly for younger generations.

description: We present results on the accurate one-dimensional (1D) modeling of simple atomic and molecular systems excited by strong laser fields. We use atomic model potentials that we derive from the corrections proposed earlier using the reduced ground state density of a three-dimensional (3D) single-active electron atom. The correction involves a change of the asymptotics of the 1D Coulomb model potentials while maintaining the correct ground state energy. We present three different applications of this method: we construct correct 1D models of the hydrogen molecular ion, the helium atom and the hydrogen molecule using improved parameters of existing soft-core Coulomb potential forms. We test these 1D models by comparing the corresponding numerical simulation results with their 3D counterparts in typical strong-field physics scenarios with near- and mid-infrared laser pulses, having peak intensities in the $10^{14}-10^{15}\,\mathrm{W/cm}^2$ range, and we find an impressively increased accuracy in the dynamics of the most important atomic quantities on the time scale of the excitation. We also present the high-order harmonic spectra of the He atom, computed using our 1D atomic model potentials. They show a very good match with the structure and phase obtained from the 3D simulations in an experimentally important range of excitation amplitudes.

description: Let P be a locally finite disk pattern on the complex plane C whose combinatorics are described by the one-skeleton G of a triangulation of the open topological disk and whose dihedral angles are equal to a function Θ:E\to [0,π/2] on the set of edges. Let P^* be a combinatorially equivalent disk pattern on the plane with the same dihedral angle function. We show that P and P^* differ only by a euclidean similarity. In particular, when the dihedral angle function Θis identically zero, this yields the rigidity theorems of B. Rodin and D. Sullivan, and of O. Schramm, whose arguments rely essentially on the pairwise disjointness of the interiors of the disks. The approach here is analytical, and uses the maximum principle, the concept of vertex extremal length, and the recurrency of a family of electrical networks obtained by placing resistors on the edges in the contact graph of the pattern. A similar rigidity property holds for locally finite disk patterns in the hyperbolic plane, where the proof follows by a simple use of the maximum principle. Also, we have a uniformization result for disk patterns. In a future paper, the techniques of this paper will be extended to the case when 0 \le Θ< π. In particular, we will show a rigidity property for a class of infinite convex polyhedra in the 3-dimensional hyperbolic space.

description: This letter proposes a deep learning based pilot design scheme to minimize the sum mean square error (MSE) of channel estimation for multi-user distributed massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems. The pilot signal of each user is expressed as a weighted superposition of orthonormal pilot sequence basis, where the power assigned to each pilot sequence is the corresponding weight. A multi-layer fully connected deep neural network (DNN) is designed to optimize the power allocated to each pilot sequence to minimize the sum MSE, which takes the channel large-scale fading coefficients as input and outputs the pilot power allocation vector. The loss function of the DNN is defined as the sum MSE, and we leverage the unsupervised learning strategy to train the DNN. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves better sum MSE performance than other methods with low complexity.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. 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/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Supervised deep networks have achieved promisingperformance on image denoising, by learning image priors andnoise statistics on plenty pairs of noisy and clean images. Unsupervised denoising networks are trained with only noisy images. However, for an unseen corrupted image, both supervised andunsupervised networks ignore either its particular image prior, the noise statistics, or both. That is, the networks learned from external images inherently suffer from a domain gap problem: the image priors and noise statistics are very different between the training and test images. This problem becomes more clear when dealing with the signal dependent realistic noise. To circumvent this problem, in this work, we propose a novel "Noisy-As-Clean" (NAC) strategy of training self-supervised denoising networks. Specifically, the corrupted test image is directly taken as the "clean" target, while the inputs are synthetic images consisted of this corrupted image and a second and similar corruption. A simple but useful observation on our NAC is: as long as the noise is weak, it is feasible to learn a self-supervised network only with the corrupted image, approximating the optimal parameters of a supervised network learned with pairs of noisy and clean images. Experiments on synthetic and realistic noise removal demonstrate that, the DnCNN and ResNet networks trained with our self-supervised NAC strategy achieve comparable or better performance than the original ones and previous supervised/unsupervised/self-supervised networks. The code is publicly available at https://github.com/csjunxu/Noisy-As-Clean.

description: We use seven machine learning algorithms for one task: identifying base noun phrases. The results have been processed by different system combination methods and all of these outperformed the best individual result. We have applied the seven learners with the best combinator, a majority vote of the top five systems, to a standard data set and managed to improve the best published result for this data set.

description: The Wiener index is a graphical invariant that has found extensive application in chemistry. We define a generating function, which we call the Wiener polynomial, whose derivative is a q-analog of the Wiener index. We study some of the elementary properties of this polynomial and compute it for some common graphs. We then find a formula for the Wiener polynomial of a dendrimer, a certain highly regular tree of interest to chemists, and show that it is unimodal. Finally, we point out a connection with the Poincare polynomial of a finite Coxeter group.

description: A necessary and sufficient condition is given for semi-ampleness of a numerically effective (nef) and big line bundle in positive characteristic. One application is to the geometry of the universal stable curve over M_g, specifically, the semi-ampleness of the relative dualizing sheaf, in positive characteristic. An example is given which shows this and the semi-ampleness criterion fail in characteristic zero. A second application is to Mori's program for minimal models of 3-folds in positive characteristic, namely, to the existence of birational extremal contractions.

description: In this paper we study the following class of fractional Kirchhoff problems: \begin{equation*} \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} \varepsilon^{2s}M(\varepsilon^{2s-N}[u]^{2}_{s})(-Δ)^{s}u + V(x) u= f(u) &\mbox{ in } \mathbb{R}^{N}, \\ u\in H^{s}(\mathbb{R}^{N}), \quad u>0 &\mbox{ in } \mathbb{R}^{N}, \end{array} \right. \end{equation*} where $\varepsilon>0$ is a small parameter, $s\in (0, 1)$, $N\geq 2$, $(-Δ)^{s}$ is the fractional Laplacian, $V:\mathbb{R}^{N}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a positive continuous function, $M: [0, \infty)\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a Kirchhoff function satisfying suitable conditions and $f:\mathbb{R}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ fulfills Berestycki-Lions type assumptions of subcritical or critical type. Using suitable variational arguments, we prove the existence of a family of positive solutions $(u_{\varepsilon})$ which concentrates at a local minimum of $V$ as $\varepsilon\rightarrow 0$.
Systematic study of $α$ decay for odd-$A$ nuclei within a two-potential approach

description: $α$ decay is usually associated with both ground and low-lying isomeric states of heavy and superheavy nuclei, and the unpaired nucleon plays a key role on $α$ decay. In this work, we systematically studied the $α$ decay half-lives of odd-$A$ nuclei, including both favored and unfavored $α$ decay within the two-potential approach based on the isospin dependent nuclear potential. The $α$ preformation probabilities are estimated by using an analytic formula taking into account the shell structure and proton-neutron correlation, and the parameters are obtained through the $α$ decay half-lives data. The results indicate that in general the $α$ preformation probabilities of even-$Z$, odd-$N$ nuclei are slightly smaller than the odd-$Z$, even-$N$ ones. We found that the odd-even staggering effect may play a more important role on spontaneous fission than $α$ decay. The calculated half-lives can well reproduce the experimental data.
