description: The scattering of scalar waves by a set of scatterers is considered. It is proven that the scattered field can be represented as an integral supported by any smooth surface enclosing the scatterers. This is a generalization of the series expansion over spherical harmonics and spherical Bessel functions for spherical geometries. More precisely, given a set of scatterers, the field scattered by any subset can be expressed as an integral over any smooth surface enclosing the given subset alone. It is then possible to solve the multiple scattering problem by using this integral representation instead of an expansion over spherical harmonics. This result is used to develop an extension of the Fast Multipole Method in order to deal with subsets that are not enclosed within non-intersecting balls.

description: We describe a new approach to the study of the set of all simple geodesics on a hyperbolic punctured torus. We introduce a valuation on the first integral homology group of the torus. This valuation associates to each homology class the length of the unique simple geodesic in it. We show that this valuation extends to a norm on the homology with real coefficients. We analyze the structure of this norm, and its variation over the moduli space of punctured tori. These results are applied to obtain sharp asymptotic estimates on the number of simple geodesics of bounded length..

Flesh Made Word: Women's Speech in Medieval English Virgin Martyr Legends

Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: Literature

description: This study examines the relationship of women's bodies to their speech in English virgin martyr legends of the tenth to fifteenth centuries. It identifies and traces a long tradition connecting women's virginal bodies to powerful, fruitful speech that begins with late classical writers. This tradition gives rise to the eloquent virgin martyrs of Aelfric's Lives of Saints, the Katherine Group, and Chaucer's Second Nun's Tale, and is one the fifteenth century mystic and contemplative Margery Kempe draws upon to authorize her unconventional performance of sanctity in her Book. Far from portraying them as a source of sin or pollution, English virgin martyr legends portray women's bodies as enabling their speech by serving as a dwelling place for God's Word, providing access to his revelation, and becoming the text the virgin martyr interprets for her audience in a lesson in spiritual reading practices.
An integrated reclamation management plan for the Highland Valley mining complex
Creators: name: Lloyd, Cecilia Jane, 1959-
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: In the Highland Valley, reclamation of large areas of mining disturbance is being undertaken by several mining companies. Methods and objectives for this reclamation are being studied. Soil and vegetation surveys are used to classify disturbed materials into site types which have characteristic reclamation requirements. By integrating site type information, land-use options and reclamation research, reclamation techniques and objectives are proposed for each site type. This approach is suitable for the design of reclamation programs for extensive areas when physical conditions are diverse and mining operations complex.
Travelling waves in electroconvection of the nematic Phase 5: A test of the weak electrolyte model

description: We investigated travelling waves appearing as the primary pattern-forming instability in the nematic Phase 5 (Merck) in the planar geometry in order to test the recently developed weak electrolyte model of ac-driven electroconvection [M. Treiber and L. Kramer, Mol. Cryst. Liq. Cryst 261, 311 (1995)]. Travelling waves are observed over the full conductive range of applied frequencies for three cells of different layer thickness d. We also measured the elastic constants, the electric conductivity, and the dielectric constant. The other parameters of Phase 5 are known, apart from the (relatively unimportant) viscosity $α_1$ and the two parameters of the weak electrolyte model that are proportional to the geometric mean of the mobilities, and the recombination rate, respectively. Assuming a sufficiently small recombination rate, the predicted dependence of the frequency of the travelling waves at onset (Hopf frequency) on d and on the applied frequency agreed quantitatively with the experiments, essentially without fit parameters. The absolute value of the Hopf frequency implies that the geometric mean of the mobilities amounts to $1.1 \times 10^{-10} m^2/(Vs)$.

Fermentation performance of strains containing plasmid vector expressing previously reported mutated XIs in glucose/xylose co-fermentation under micro-aerobic conditions. Batch fermentation assays were performed under the same conditions as for Figs. 2, 3, 4. The fermentation properties of seven strains harboring previously reported mutations for RfXI and PspXI are: SS45 (RfXI-G178A), SS46 (PspXI-E15D), SS47 (PspXI-C54R), SS48 (PspXI-T142S), SS29 (PspXI-N370S), SS50 (PspXI-C54R, N370S) and SS51 (PspXI-E51D, T142S). These mutated XIs were episomally introduced on low copy number plasmids into the same parental strain, SS29. The dots in the panels represent the concentrations of the following metabolites in a single experiment performed with biological triplicates: glucose (blue), xylose (red), xylitol (yellow green), glycerol (purple), acetate (light blue) and ethanol (orange). The details for metabolite concentrations are shown in Additional file 4: Table S3.

description: This is a pedagogical review on $\mathrm{T}\overline{\mathrm{T}}$ deformation of two dimensional quantum field theories. It is based on three lectures which the author gave at ITP-CAS in December 2018. This review consists of four parts. The first part is a general introduction to $\mathrm{T}\overline{\mathrm{T}}$ deformation. Special emphasises are put on the deformed classical Lagrangian and the exact solvability of the spectrum. The second part focuses on the torus partition sum of the $\mathrm{T}\overline{\mathrm{T}}$/$\mathrm{J}\overline{\mathrm{T}}$ deformed conformal field theories and modular invariance/covariance. In the third part, different perspectives of $\mathrm{T}\overline{\mathrm{T}}$ deformation are presented, including its relation to random geometry, 2d topological gravity and holography. We summarize more recent developments until January 2021 in the last part.

 Auritidibacter ignavus (ig.na′ vus. L. masc. adj. ignavus inactive).
 In addition to properties described for the emended genus or as described for A. ignavus by Yassin et al. [1], strains may show the following characteristics: cells measure 1.85±0.45 µm in length and have a width of 0.44±0.05 µm. May assimilate substrate at pH 6. Reduction of nitrite not observed. Vogues–Proskauer (acetoin) production, DNase and starch hydrolyses are variable. Pyrrolidonyl arylamidase, esterase, leucine arylamidase and naphthol-AS-BIphosphohydrolase are variable. Isolates may grow at 42 °C and not at 25 °C. Isolates neither ferment nor assimilate conventional sugars nor those found in API panels. Using the Biolog panel, isolates may be positive or borderline positive for the utilization of dextrin, L-glutamic acid,L-pyroglutamic acid, p -hydroxyphenylacetic acid, D-galacturonic acid, L-lactic acid, Tween 40, Ɣ- aminobutyric acid, α-hydroxybutyric acid, β-hydroxy-DL-butyric acid, α-ketobutyric acid and acetic acid. In sensitivity tests, tetrazolium dyes may be reduced at pH 6, in 1%, 4%, and 8% NaCl, nalidixic acid, lithium chloride, potassium tellurite, aztreonam, sodium butyrate and sodium bromate. The remaining substrates are variably utilized or not used.
 Isolates have been obtained from ear infections from patients located in Germany, Switzerland and Canada and detected by DNA sequencing from a bacteremia in Spain. A. ignavus NML 100628 has been deposited in two culture collections (NCTC 14178=LMG 30897) to serve as an additional reference strain for this species. The genomic DNA G+C content of the type strain (A. ignavus DSM 45359 T) is 59.3% with those of other strains ranging from 59.4 to 59.5%.

description: We study a random process with reinforcement, which evolves following the dynamics of a given diffusion process in a bounded domain and is resampled according to its occupation measure when it reaches the boundary. We show that its occupation measure converges to the unique quasi-stationary distribution of the diffusion process absorbed at the boundary of the domain. Our proofs use recent results in the theory of quasi-stationary distributions and stochastic approximation techniques.

description: Delta-T shot noise is activated in temperature-biased electronic junctions, down to the atomic scale. It is characterized by a quadratic dependence on the temperature difference and a nonlinear relationship with the transmission coefficients of partially opened conduction channels. In this work, we demonstrate that delta-T noise, measured across an ensemble of atomic-scale junctions, can be utilized to estimate the temperature bias in these systems. Our approach employs a supervised machine learning algorithm to train a neural network with input features being the scaled electrical conductance, the delta-T noise, and the mean temperature. Due to limited experimental data, we generate synthetic datasets, designed to mimic experiments. The neural network, trained on these synthetic data, was subsequently applied to predict temperature biases from experimental datasets. Using performance metrics, we demonstrate that the mean bias -- the deviation of predicted temperature differences from their true value -- is less than 1 K for junctions with conductance up to 4$G_0$. Our study highlights that, while a single delta-T noise measurement is insufficient for accurately estimating the applied temperature bias due to noise contributions from other sources, averaging over an ensemble of junctions enables predictions within experimental uncertainties. This demonstrates that machine learning approaches can be utilized for estimation of temperature biases, and similarly other stimuli in electronic junctions.

description: Le Price Earning Ratio est un indicateur qui renseigne les investisseurs et les analystes sur la cherté d’un titre et lui confère de ce fait un attrait préférentiel sur le marché. Ses variations affectent significativement la perception du titre et plusieurs facteurs en sont responsable. Notre objectif dans cette étude est de déterminer les facteurs explicatifs de la variation du PER dans les PME au Cameroun. Quoiqu’en contexte hors bourse, les PME semblent intéressées par les opérations d’ouverture du capital. C’est alors qu’un échantillon de 166 entreprises a été extrait d’un panel de données de 2013 à 2015 collectées par l’Institut National de Statistiques du Cameroun. La régression linéaire multiple sont les outils mobilisés pour atteindre notre objectif. Les résultats montrent que la rentabilité financière, le taux de croissance des bénéfices, le ratio d’endettement global ainsi que la taille ont une incidence positive et significative sur la variation du PER. Une étude confirmatoire a été menée en parallèle au moyen d’un questionnaire administré à cinquante (50) entreprises de la même base. À l’aide des moindres carrés partiels, il ressort de celle-ci que les facteurs de performances sont les principaux déterminants de la variation du PER. Face à ce constat, les managers de PME disposent désormais de puissants leviers d’attraction des capitaux.

Norms for Beneficial A.I.: A Computational Analysis of the Societal Value Alignment Problem

description: The rise of artificial intelligence (A.I.) based systems is already offering substantial benefits to the society as a whole. However, these systems may also enclose potential conflicts and unintended consequences. Notably, people will tend to adopt an A.I. system if it confers them an advantage, at which point non-adopters might push for a strong regulation if that advantage for adopters is at a cost for them. Here we propose an agent-based game-theoretical model for these conflicts, where agents may decide to resort to A.I. to use and acquire additional information on the payoffs of a stochastic game, striving to bring insights from simulation to what has been, hitherto, a mostly philosophical discussion. We frame our results under the current discussion on ethical A.I. and the conflict between individual and societal gains: the societal value alignment problem. We test the arising equilibria in the adoption of A.I. technology under different norms followed by artificial agents, their ensuing benefits, and the emergent levels of wealth inequality. We show that without any regulation, purely selfish A.I. systems will have the strongest advantage, even when a utilitarian A.I. provides significant benefits for the individual and the society. Nevertheless, we show that it is possible to develop A.I. systems following human conscious policies that, when introduced in society, lead to an equilibrium where the gains for the adopters are not at a cost for non-adopters, thus increasing the overall wealth of the population and lowering inequality. However, as shown, a self-organised adoption of such policies would require external regulation.

description: This study sets out to answer one major question: Who thinks better, non-native speakers of English or ChatGPT?, providing evidence from processing and interpreting center-embedding English constructions that human brain surpasses ChatGPT, and that ChatGPT cannot be regarded as a theory of language. Fifteen non-native speakers of English were recruited as participants of the study. A center-embedding English sentence was presented to both the study participants and ChatGPT. The study findings unveil that human brain is still far ahead of Large Language Models, specifically ChatGPT, even in the case of non-native speakers of an L2, here English. The study concludes that human brain's ability to process and interpret natural language data is unique and that ChatGPT still lags behind this human unique ability.

description: Wireless networks are becoming ubiquitous and can be found in domestic, commercial, industrial, military, and health care applications. One application of particular interest is that of emergency communications where an Incident Area Network (IAN) can be rapidly deployed at an incident site. Wireless networks are well suited to such applications because they can be rapidly established and facilitate the exchange of voice, video and multimedia content such as detailed maps, building plans and photographs. The experience of Hurricane Katrina, the Asian Tsunami and Black Saturday demonstrates the importance of effective communications in saving lives following a catastrophic event. The security of an emergency communications network is extremely important because a breach of confidentiality, integrity or availability may result in the loss of human life. Ensuring security presents a thorny problem because communication in a wireless network uses a shared medium without the benefit of a physical security perimeter. To address this problem wireless security protocols use cryptographic techniques to protect the network but the results have not always been successful. Serious flaws have been discovered in the design, implementation and operation of widely deployed wireless security protocols and attacks developed to exploit these flaws. Our investigation adopts the viewpoint of a hostile adversary to identify and exploit vulnerabilities that remain in wireless security protocols. Purpose-written software tools have been created to facilitate the investigation, conduct attacks and assist in the identification of the underlying causes of the security flaws. Remedial measures are then proposed, implemented and evaluated for the most serious threats.

description: Advancements in soft materials and hybrid flexible electronics have enabled developments in flexible circuits and wearables. Where rigid electronics are extremely precise over small physical areas, flexible electronics have the capability to sense over large curved areas. From the onset of epidermal electronics and flexible transistors, there have been great advancements in sensing over soft curved objects, such as human skin or brain tissue. This thesis focuses on hybrid flexible electronics to sense and stimulate over large areas. The aim of the systems presented is to provide insight into complex navigation and sensor processing systems. In addition to the design, fabrication, and characterization of each device, several important characteristics of each device are investigated: material choice, curvature limits, and device sensitivity. The first device presented in this thesis uses strain gauges to track the bending of neurosurgery navigation stylets for catheter placement. The strain gauge fabrication and characterization is presented. Adhesive testing, stylet bending modeling, and noise techniques are also discussed as they were found to be critical components of the system. The device's limit of detection is 1 mm tip displacement. The purpose of the second set of devices presented is to gain object information from curved or edged robotic structures. Three sensing modes were explored: piezoelectric, strain, and capacitive. The piezoelectric sensor was founded to have a 6.7 times increase in sensitivity when an open-cell foam compliant layer is used. The strain sensor was found to have a gauge factor of 2.83 on a silicone layer and 1.5 on a polymer layer. The combination of the piezoelectric and strain sensing modes is presented. The capacitive sensor is able to detect object shape using inverse problem mathematical techniques. The third device and system presented is a flexible electrode array for stimulating the electroreceptors of electric fish. The spatial and temporal control of a conformal stimulation array enables the decoding of motor signals in the brain. The array fabrication and system development is presented. Surface modification of the electrode array successfully altered the surface energy of the array to match that of the fish for the optimal array-fish interface. In summary, the development and integration of these flexible electronic devices has been achieved. It was found that the interface between the flexible electronic devices and binding objects is critical to device sensitivity and reliability.

description: The overwhelming majority of High Performance Computing (HPC) systems and server infrastructure uses Intel x86 processors. This makes an architectural analysis of these processors relevant for a wide audience of administrators and performance engineers. In this paper, we describe the effects of hardware controlled energy efficiency features for the Intel Skylake-SP processor. Due to the prolonged micro-architecture cycles, which extend the previous Tick-Tock scheme by Intel, our findings will also be relevant for succeeding architectures. The findings of this paper include the following: C-state latencies increased significantly over the Haswell-EP processor generation. The mechanism that controls the uncore frequency has a latency of approximately 10 ms and it is not possible to truly fix the uncore frequency to a specific level. The out-of-order throttling for workloads using 512 bit wide vectors also occurs at low processor frequencies. Data has a significant impact on processor power consumption which causes a large error in energy models relying only on instructions.

description: A parallel algorithm for ``diffusion-limited aggregation'' (DLA) is described and analyzed from the perspective of computational complexity. The dynamic exponent z of the algorithm is defined with respect to the probabilistic parallel random-access machine (PRAM) model of parallel computation according to $T \sim L^{z}$, where L is the cluster size, T is the running time, and the algorithm uses a number of processors polynomial in L\@. It is argued that z=D-D_2/2, where D is the fractal dimension and D_2 is the second generalized dimension. Simulations of DLA are carried out to measure D_2 and to test scaling assumptions employed in the complexity analysis of the parallel algorithm. It is plausible that the parallel algorithm attains the minimum possible value of the dynamic exponent in which case z characterizes the intrinsic history dependence of DLA.

Rotationally symmetric Ricci flow on $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$

Subjects: subject: Differential Geometry (math.DG)

description: We study the Ricci flow on $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, with $n\geq 2$, starting at some complete bounded curvature rotationally symmetric metric $g_{0}$. We first focus on the case where $(\mathbb{R}^{n+1},g_{0})$ does not contain minimal hyperspheres; we prove that if $g_{0}$ is asymptotic to a cylinder then the solution develops a Type-II singularity and converges to the Bryant soliton, while if the curvature of $g_{0}$ decays at infinity, then the solution is immortal. As a corollary, we prove a conjecture by Chow and Tian about Perelman's standard solutions. We then consider a class of asymptotically flat initial data $(\mathbb{R}^{n+1},g_{0})$ containing a neck and we prove that if the neck is sufficiently pinched, in a precise way, the Ricci flow encounters a Type-I singularity.

description: In this paper the ecology and sociology of the neophyt Oxalis pes-caprae coming from South Africa is pomted out. In the centre of interest is the Island of Malta, where the species was introduced to Europe for the first time 190 years ago. Because of its formation of numerous bulbills Oxalis pes-caprae is a dangerous weed in the coastal areas of the western and especially the central Mediterranean region. In Malta Oxalis pes-caprae is one of the most frequent species. The centre of its occurrence is in, respectively at old walls surrounding the fields. Its great phenotypical plasticity - the length of the overground shoot is up to 70 cm - enables her to acquire the full light without accepting the disadvantages of rapidly parching wall crevices. Oxalis pes-caprae is able to build tight weed layers in communities of tall herbs (Urtico-Smyrnietum, Lavatera arborea Community) as well as under trees, respectively under Arundo donax. The behaviour of the species in Italy, in the Iberian peninsula as well as in North Africa is pointed out by literature and own investigations. There Oxalis pes-caprae occurs mainly in irrigated cultures of Citrus but also in river accompanying woods as well as in Ricinus communis scrubs.

description: We experimentally measure the static stress at the bottom of a granular chains column with a precise and reproducible method. The relation, between the filling mass and the apparent mass converted from the bottom stress, is investigated on various chain lengths. Our measurements reconfirm that the scaling behavior of the stress saturation curves is in accord with the theoretical expectation of the Janssen model. Additionally, the saturation mass is displayed as a nonmonotonic function of the chain length, where a distinguishing transition of the saturation mass is found at the persistence length of the granular chain. We repeat the measurement with another measuring methodology and a silo with different size, respectively, the position of the peak maintains robust. In order to understand the transition of the saturation mass, the friction coefficient and the volume fraction of granular chains are also measured, from which Janssen parameter can be calculated. Finally, we preliminarily measure the bottom stress for two distinct packing structures of long chains, find the effect of the entanglements on the bottom stress, and argue that the entanglements might be responsible for the transition of the saturation mass.

Ricci flow of warped Berger metrics on $\mathbb{R}^{4}$

Subjects: subject: Differential Geometry (math.DG)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We study the Ricci flow on $\mathbb{R}^{4}$ starting at an SU(2)-cohomogeneity 1 metric $g_{0}$ whose restriction to any hypersphere is a Berger metric. We prove that if $g_{0}$ has no necks and is bounded by a cylinder, then the solution develops a global Type-II singularity and converges to the Bryant soliton when suitably dilated at the origin. This is the first example in dimension $n > 3$ of a non-rotationally symmetric Type-II flow converging to a rotationally symmetric singularity model. Next, we show that if instead $g_{0}$ has no necks, its curvature decays and the Hopf fibers are not collapsed, then the solution is immortal. Finally, we prove that if the flow is Type-I, then there exist minimal 3-spheres for times close to the maximal time.

Self-supervised Learning of Interpretable Keypoints from Unlabelled Videos

description: We propose KeypointGAN, a new method for recognizing the pose of objects from a single image that for learning uses only unlabelled videos and a weak empirical prior on the object poses. Video frames differ primarily in the pose of the objects they contain, so our method distils the pose information by analyzing the differences between frames. The distillation uses a new dual representation of the geometry of objects as a set of 2D keypoints, and as a pictorial representation, i.e. a skeleton image. This has three benefits: (1) it provides a tight `geometric bottleneck' which disentangles pose from appearance, (2) it can leverage powerful image-to-image translation networks to map between photometry and geometry, and (3) it allows to incorporate empirical pose priors in the learning process. The pose priors are obtained from unpaired data, such as from a different dataset or modality such as mocap, such that no annotated image is ever used in learning the pose recognition network. In standard benchmarks for pose recognition for humans and faces, our method achieves state-of-the-art performance among methods that do not require any labelled images for training.
