description: Given a sequence of $N$ positive real numbers $\{a_1,a_2,..., a_N \}$, the number partitioning problem consists of partitioning them into two sets such that the absolute value of the difference of the sums of $a_j$ over the two sets is minimized. In the case that the $a_j$'s are statistically independent random variables uniformly distributed in the unit interval, this NP-complete problem is equivalent to the problem of finding the ground state of an infinite-range, random anti-ferromagnetic Ising model. We employ the annealed approximation to derive analytical lower bounds to the average value of the difference for the best constrained and unconstrained partitions in the large $N$ limit. Furthermore, we calculate analytically the fraction of metastable states, i.e. states that are stable against all single spin flips, and found that it vanishes like $N^{-3/2}$.

title: The Moral Sierra Maestra: The Moral-Ethical Dimension of the Political Thought of Fidel Castro

subject: Marxist philosophy

description: This is a study of the moral and ethical dimension of the political thought of Fidel Castro, with an ethic of violence at its vital centre. It is not a study of the totality and evolution of Fidel Castro’s political thought. It does not purport to be his intellectual biography. As such it focuses on two ideas, the one within the other. It explores the moral and ethical aspect of Fidel Castro’s political thought and strategy and examines as a constituent component of that aspect, Castro’s idea of the correct and incorrect use of violence. More generally, it hopes to shed light on the issue of the good and bad use of violence, using as prism and principal illustrative case, the political, strategic and diplomatic thought and practice of Fidel Castro, both as revolutionary insurgent and leader of a state, as rebel and ruler. It is suggested in this thesis that Fidel Castro, a revolutionary, Marxist and Third World political figure, has made a contribution to the understanding of one of the larger questions of politics, one that properly belongs in the sphere of political theory and philosophy: the question of violence, political power and morality. The study undertaken here argues that Fidel Castro’s main contribution to revolutionary Marxism was the introduction of an explicitly moral and ethical dimension. This in turn has enabled him to occupy the moral high ground and has helped him survive the collapse of Communism with no damage to his prestige. The study also indicates that the moral and ethical dimension stems from a unique synthesis of Marxism and Christianity. This study attempts to show that the Castro doctrine of armed struggle is based upon the conscious cultivation of a moral asymmetry between the enemy and the liberation fighter, a moral superiority that is cultivated not by abstinence from violence as in the case of Gandhi, nor by the low intensity and tactical use of violence as in the case of Mandela’s ANC, but by conscious restraint in the conduct, methods and targeting. While it is on the one hand a doctrine of Absolute or Total War, in that it seeks, as did the Jacobins and Napoleon, to mobilize the whole people, it is also a doctrine of Limited War in terms of targeting. It is simultaneously governed by and seeks to achieve a moral superiority that does not rest on culturally specific and circumscribed notions (such as those that govern Islamic militants) but on universal values of humanitarian conduct in warfare.
Fine-structure constant variability, equivalence principle and cosmology

description: It has been widely believed that variability of the fine-structure constant alpha would imply detectable violations of the weak equivalence principle. This belief is not justified in general. It is put to rest here in the context of the general framework for alpha variability [J. D. Bekenstein, Phys. Rev. D 25, 1527 (1982)] in which the exponent of a scalar field plays the role of the permittivity and inverse permeability of the vacuum. The coupling of particles to the scalar field is necessarily such that the anomalous force acting on a charged particle by virtue of its mass's dependence on the scalar field is cancelled by terms modifying the usual Coulomb force. As a consequence a particle's acceleration in external fields depends only on its charge to mass ratio, in accordance with the principle. And the center of mass acceleration of a composite object can be proved to be independent of the object's internal constitution, as the weak equivalence principle requires. Likewise the widely employed assumption that the Coulomb energy of matter is the principal source of the scalar field proves wrong; Coulomb energy effectively cancels out in the continuum description of the scalar field's dynamics. This cancellation resolves a cosmological conundrum: with Coulomb energy as source of the scalar field, the framework would predict a decrease of alpha with cosmological expansion, whereas an increase is claimed to be observed. Because of the said cancellation, magnetic energy of cosmological baryonic matter is the main source of the scalar field. Consequently the expansion is accompanied by an increase in alpha; for reasonable values of the framework's sole parameter, this occurs at a rate consistent with the observers' claims.

description: Thermal emittance and quantum efficiency (QE) are key figures of merit of photocathodes, and their uniformity is critical to high-performance photoinjectors. Several QE mapping technologies have been successfully developed; however, there is still a dearth of information on thermal emittance maps. This is because of the extremely time-consuming procedure to gather measurements by scanning a small beam across the cathode with fine steps. To simplify the mapping procedure, and to reduce the time required to take measurements, we propose a new method that requires only a single scan of the solenoid current to simultaneously obtain thermal emittance and QE distribution by using a pattern beam with multiple beamlets. In this paper, its feasibility has been confirmed by both beam dynamics simulation and theoretical analysis. The method has been successfully demonstrated in a proof-of-principle experiment using an L-band radiofrequency photoinjector with a cesium telluride cathode. In the experiment, seven beamlets were generated from a microlens array system and their corresponding thermal emittance and QE varied from 0.93 to 1.14 $μ$m/mm and from 4.6 to 8.7%, respectively. We also discuss the limitations and future improvements of the method in this paper.
True religion : Christianity and the making of radical ideology in England, 1816-1834
Creators: name: Clement, Mark
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1990

description: Noting the importance of religion to the lives of many leading radicals of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, Edward Royle and James Walvin remarked: "The religious dimension to secular affairs is probably one of the most unfamiliar aspects of the period under consideration". The early nineteeenth century saw the enormous growth of evangelical non-conformist denominations and sects. A debate has raged for many years over the nature of the impact upon the common people of this religious revival, and over the social and political effects of Methodism in particular. While Elie Halevy's famous thesis that it was Methodism which prevented the outbreak of a French-style revolution in Britain has usually been regarded as at best an overstatement, it has become an axiom of modern historiography that Methodism was a stabilising influence in early-industrial England. On the one hand there is E.P. Thompson's caustic characterisation of the attraction of Methodism to working-class people as the "chlliasm of despair".[33 On the other, Alan Gilbert argues that the inherent social deviance of Methodism and Dissent produced a moderate radicalism which acted as "the political equivalent of the safety valve".

description: The successes of superconducting quantum circuits at local manipulation of quantum information and photonics technology at long-distance transmission of the same have spurred interest in the development of quantum transducers for efficient, low-noise, and bidirectional frequency conversion of photons between the microwave and optical domains. We propose to realize such functionality through the coupling of electrical, piezoelectric, and optomechanical resonators. The coupling of the mechanical subsystems enables formation of a resonant mechanical supermode that provides a mechanically-mediated, efficient single interface to both the microwave and optical domains. The conversion process is analyzed by applying an equivalent circuit model that relates device-level parameters to overall figures of merit for conversion efficiency $η$ and added noise $N$. These can be further enhanced by proper impedance matching of the transducer to an input microwave transmission line. The performance of potential transducers is assessed through finite-element simulations, with a focus on geometries in GaAs, followed by considerations of the AlN, LiNbO$_3$, and AlN-on-Si platforms. We present strategies for maximizing $η$ and minimizing $N$, and find that simultaneously achieving $η>50~\%$ and $N < 0.5$ should be possible with current technology. We find that the use of a mechanical supermode for mediating transduction is a key enabler for high-efficiency operation, particularly when paired with an appropriate microwave impedance matching network. Our comprehensive analysis of the full transduction chain enables us to outline a development path for the realization of high-performance quantum transducers that will constitute a valuable resource for quantum information science.

description: N-Arenesulfonyl α-hydroxyamides are conveniently synthesized from N-arylethynylsulfonamides (ynamides) via oxidation with dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) in the presence of equivalent of trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TfOH) followed by treatment with water. In this reaction, ynamides are activated by protonation with TfOH and then undergo double DMSO nucleophilic addition and subsequent hydrolysis. Investigations on the substrate scope indicate N-arenesulfonyl and arylethynyl substituted ynamides proceed the oxidation well. Compared to the previous methods, the current method realizes the direct conversion from N-arylethynylsulfonamides to N-arenesulfonyl α-hydroxyamides with mild DMSO as a nucleophilic oxidant in the presence of strong acid trifluoromethanesulfonic acid.

description: This paper presents a bimodal logic for reasoning about knowledge during knowledge acquisition. One of the modalities represents (effort during) non-deterministic time and the other represents knowledge. The semantics of this logic are tree-like spaces which are a generalization of semantics used for modeling branching time and historical necessity. A finite system of axiom schemes is shown to be canonically complete for the formentioned spaces. A characterization of the satisfaction relation implies the small model property and decidability for this system.

description: London’s West End theatre is most commonly compared with that of New York’s Broadway. Many theatre makers try to emulate what the other is doing across the pond by using different aspects of one another's successful working systems. Producers occasionally transfer their hit shows from one city to the other hoping for the same success. But often the shows do not achieve the same results that they did in their hometowns or they fail in unexpected ways. I believe that the theatrical community needs to stop comparing the two and realize that audience behavior on Broadway and the West End are two completely different entities and that the two could learn from one another but that they should not expect to achieve the same results.
A Targetable GATA2-IGF2 Axis Confers Aggressiveness in Chemotherapy Resistant Prostate Cancer

description: Prostate cancer is a common malignancy with nearly one million annual diagnoses worldwide. Among a subset of patients, primary disease eventually progresses to disseminated castration resistant prostate cancer (CRPC). In recent years, treatment modalities that improve survival in CRPC have emerged including taxane chemotherapy and second generation androgen signaling inhibitors, among others. Indeed, today the first line chemotherapeutic docetaxel as well as the second line agent cabazitaxel are mainstays of treatment. However, CRPC inexorably progresses to a chemotherapy resistant state that ultimately precedes lethality. Elucidating the molecular determinants of aggressiveness in chemotherapy resistant CRPC may therefore stimulate new therapeutic strategies that improve clinical outcomes. We used laboratory models and clinical databases to identify GATA2 as a regulator of chemotherapy resistance and tumorigenicity in this context. Whole genome expression profiling, clinical validation and genetic screening approaches revealed that GATA2 regulates a signature of cancer progression associated genes. Mechanistically, direct upregulation of the growth hormone IGF2 emerged as a significant mediator of the aggressive properties regulated by GATA2. IGF2 in turn activated IGF1R and INSR as well as a downstream polykinase program. The characterization of this regulatory axis prompted a combination strategy whereby dual IGF1R/INSR inhibition restored the efficacy of chemotherapy and improved survival in preclinical models. These studies reveal a GATA2-IGF2 aggressiveness axis in chemotherapy resistant prostate cancer and identify a therapeutic opportunity in this challenging disease.

description: This thesis presents a two-part study of Photosystem II. The first, is a spectroscopic study primarily based on a novel low temperature FTIR system. The second is a series of computational studies on carboxylate-ligated transition metal complexes, culminating in a direct study of the vibrational frequencies associated with the first-shell carboxylate ligands of theWater Oxidising Complex. The findings of this thesis are summarised in the following: Low temperature (10 K) illuminations on ZnSe cryostat windows induces transient and stable FTIR difference signals. The kinetic properties of these signals are highly reminiscent of the TyrZ “split signals” observed in EPR studies. - The FTIR analogue to the visible illumination-induced, transient S1 TyrZ “split signal” was observed. Some characteristic features of the QA- /QA signal was observed, but features of the donor(s) could not be extracted from the data. - The 10 K and 80 K TyrD./TyrD difference signals were obtained using multiple signal subtractions. Small spectral differences, possibly caused by electrostatic effects, were found between these signals. The possibility of TyrD. forming an imidazolium intermediate at 10 K was found to be unlikely, however. - Deprotonation was found to suppress carboxylate ligand vibrational frequency shifts associated with manganese-centred oxidation. This appears to be a general feature of redoxactive transition metals, as the same effect was also observed in vanadium, chromium, iron and cobalt complexes. - Charge conservation via simultaneous anionic ligand substitution with metal centre oxidation also suppresses carboxylate ligand frequency shifts. Solvent polarisation also has a similar effect. It was concluded that carboxylate ligand frequency shifts are primarily driven by electrostatic effects, i.e. the increased polarisation between the carboxylate ligand and metal centre, as the metal centre undergoes oxidation. - Water or hydroxyl ligand deprotonation is most likely the reason for the sparsity of frequency shifts observed in mutagenic studies of the PSII Water Oxidising Complex (WOC). Frequency shift suppression via deprotonation appears to be most effective in clusters that are neutrally charged, possess a mean Mn oxidation of 3 in the S1 state, and have water and hydroxyl ligands in the O5 and W2 positions, respectively. Further, it is shown that Mn2 is likely to be oxidised in the S1/S2 transition, on the basis of the IR frequency shifts assigned to D1-Ala344.

Information Theoretic Limits for Wireless Information Transfer Between Finite Spatial Regions

description: Since the first multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) experiments performed at Bell Laboratories in the late 1990’s, it was clear that wireless communication systems can achieve improved performances using multiple antennas simultaneously during transmission and reception. Theoretically, the capacity of MIMO systems scales linearly with the number of antennas in favorable propagation conditions. However, the capacity is significantly reduced when the antennas are collocated. A generalized paradigm for MIMO systems, spatially distributed MIMO systems, is proposed as a solution. Spatially distributed MIMO systems transmit information from a spatial region to another with each region occupying a large number of antennas. Hence, for a given constraint on the size of the spatial regions, evaluating the information theoretic performance limits for information transfer between regions has been a central topic of research in wireless communications. This thesis addresses this problem from a theoretical point of view. Our approach is to utilize the modal decomposition of the classical wave equation to represent the spatially distributed MIMO systems. This modal analysis is particularly useful as it advocates a shift of the “large wireless networks” research agenda from seeking “universal” performance limits to seeking a multi-parameter family of performance limits, where the key parameters, space, time and frequency are interrelated. However, traditional performance bounds on spatially distributed MIMO systems fail to depict the interrelation among space, time and frequency. Several outcomes resulting from this thesis are: i) estimation of an upper bound to degrees of freedom of broadband signals observed over finite spatial and temporal windows, ii) derivation of the amount of information that can be captured by a finite spatial region over a finite bandwidth, iii) a new framework to illustrate the relationship between Shannon’s capacity and the spatial channels, iv) a tractable model to determine the information capacity between spatial regions for narrowband transmissions. Hence, our proposed approach provides a generalized theoretical framework to characterize realistic MIMO and spatially distributed MIMO systems at different frequency bands in both narrowband and broadband conditions.

We want to estimate the maximal multiplicity of a solution of the system $F(x,y) = G(x,y) = 0$. Our main result is that the multiplicity of any isolated solution $(a,b) \in \mathbb{C}^2$ with nonzero coordinates is no greater than $\frac{5}{2}d^2t^2$. We ask whether this intersection multiplicity can be polynomially bounded in the number of monomials of $F$ and $G$, and we briefly review some connections between sparse polynomials and algebraic complexity theory.

Watching television with David Foster Wallace
Creators: name: McMorrow, Kevin
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2012

description: The exegesis argues that David Foster Wallace's novel Infinite jest is largely concerned with the addictive nature of television and entertainment The novel examines the possibility of addictive viewing by representing it metaphorically through "Infinite Jest," a film so entertaining it proves lethal; Joelle Van Dyne, a character that embodies the seductive yet crippling aspects of entertainment; and InterLace, an advanced television network/device that permits convenient access to an unprecedented amount of televised content. Current scholarship attempts seriously to qualify the role of television and entertainment in Infinite jest by looking closely at these three metaphorical representations. Yet a survey of current research in media theory reveals a level of sophistication in the novel's treatment of addictive viewing that could not have been recognized in the decade following its publication. By uniting these two bodies of scholarship, this exegesis will show how David Foster Wallace's novel Infinite jest was able in many ways to imagine, and in some cases predict, the evolution of television and entertainment. In doing so, Wallace is also able to dramatize our culture's relationship with television and entertainment as we know them today, devoting specific attention to the corrosive and detrimental effects of addictive viewing. Novel My novel, Slow Progress North, is directly influenced by Infinite jest. As such, it is devoted significantly to viewers' relationship with television and entertainment James North, twenty-five years old, is stricken with grief when his mother, Sarah, dies after a battle with cancer. At the reading of her will, James is shocked to see his estranged father, Richard. James and his mother moved to San Diego to escape his father's destructive alcoholism. And though James believed his parents' marriage ended at that moment, a series of letters left to him by his mother proves his parents had been in correspondence ever since. As James reads the letters, he comes to understand the nature of their marriage, and the possibility that he has misunderstood his own past James is forced to confront his childhood. His father, a successful advertising executive, often used James in his research. James was bullied into watching commercials so that his father could assess their effects on him. As an adult, James begins to realize that his father still exerts a powerful influence over him, which is not restricted to his relationship with television. James's job at You Co., a small self-help company, helps him in some ways to deal with his grief. But it is his girlfriend, Kristen, who helps James to reconcile his past. James, at the mercy, perhaps, of the very addiction that destroyed his family, decides finally that he must resolve years of anger and regret if he is truly to understand his inheritance. His mother, it turns out, willed him more than two stacks of tattered letters.

description: We study the stochastic formalism of inflation beyond the usual slow-roll approximation. We verify that the assumptions on which the stochastic formalism relies still hold even far from the slow-roll attractor. This includes demonstrating the validity of the separate universe approach to evolving long-wavelength scalar field perturbations beyond slow roll. We also explain that, in general, there is a gauge correction to the amplitude of the stochastic noise. This is because the amplitude is usually calculated in the spatially-flat gauge, while the number of e-folds is used as the time variable (hence one works in the uniform-$N$ gauge) in the Langevin equations. We show that these corrections vanish in the slow-roll limit, but we also explain how to calculate them in general. We compute them in difference cases, including ultra-slow roll and the Starobinsky model that interpolates between slow roll and ultra-slow roll, and find the corrections to be negligible in practice. This confirms the validity of the stochastic formalism for studying quantum backreaction effects in the very early universe beyond slow roll.

description: We present a general scheme for identifying fibrations in the framework of toric geometry and provide a large list of weights for Calabi--Yau 4-folds. We find 914,164 weights with degree $d\le150$ whose maximal Newton polyhedra are reflexive and 525,572 weights with degree $d\le4000$ that give rise to weighted projective spaces such that the polynomial defining a hypersurface of trivial canonical class is transversal. We compute all Hodge numbers, using Batyrev's formulas (derived by toric methods) for the first and Vafa's fomulas (obtained by counting of Ramond ground states in N=2 LG models) for the latter class, checking their consistency for the 109,308 weights in the overlap. Fibrations of k-folds, including the elliptic case, manifest themselves in the N lattice in the following simple way: The polyhedron corresponding to the fiber is a subpolyhedron of that corresponding to the k-fold, whereas the fan determining the base is a linear projection of the fan corresponding to the k-fold.

description: Let $H$ be the space of all Hermitian matrices of infinite order and $U(\infty)$ be the inductive limit of the chain $U(1)\subset U(2)\subset...$ of compact unitary groups. The group $U(\infty)$ operates on the space $H$ by conjugations, and our aim is to classify the ergodic $U(\infty)$-invariant probability measures on $H$ by making use of a general asymptotic approach proposed in Vershik's note \cite{V}. The problem is reduced to studying the limit behavior of orbital integrals of the form $$\int_{B\inΩ_n}e^{i\op{tr}(AB)}M_n(dB),$$ where $A$ is a fixed $\infty\times\infty$ Hermitian matrix with finitely many nonzero entries, $Ω_n$ is a $U(n)$-orbit in the space of $n\times n$ Hermitian matrices, $M_n$ is the normalized $U(n)$-invariant measure on the orbit $Ω_n$, and $n\to\infty$. We also present a detailed proof of an ergodic theorem for inductive limits of compact groups that has been announced in \cite{V}.

description: Major developmental defects occur in 100,000 to 200,000 children born each year in the United States of America. 97% of these defects are from unidentified causes. Many fetal outcomes (e.g., developmental defects), result from interactions between genetic and environmental factors. The lifetime effects from prenatal exposures with low impact (e.g., air pollution) are often understudied. Even when these exposures are studied, the focus is often placed on immediate effects of the exposure (e.g., fetal anomalies, miscarriage rates) leaving lifetime effects largely unexplored. This makes prolonged (or lifetime) effects of low-impact exposures an understudied research area. Included in this set of low-impact exposures is seasonal variance at birth.
      This thesis measures the effects of seasonal variance at birth on lifetime disease risk at both the population-level and molecular-levels. Four aims, comprising this thesis study, were conducted that utilize data from pharmacology, clinical care (Electronic Health Records) and genetics. These aims included: 1.) Development of an Algorithm to Reveal Diseases with a Prenatal/Perinatal Seasonality Component (described in chapter 2); 2.) Investigation of Climate Variables that Affect Lifetime Disease Risk By Altering Environmental Drivers (described in chapters 3 and 4); 3.) Discovery of Genes Involved in Birth Season – Disease Effects (described in chapter 5) and 4.) Investigation of Pharmacological Inhibitors As  Phenocopies of the Birth Season – Disease Effect (described in chapters 6 and 7). Knowledge gained from these four areas, through seven distinct studies, establishes that birth season is a causal risk factor in a number of common diseases including cardiovascular diseases.

description: Despite numerous studies on the environmental health and safety (EHS) of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs), most studies looked into their gross toxicities with rather limited understanding on their labyrinthine implicit effects on the target sites, such as the endocrine system. Burgeoning evidence documents the disrupting effects of AgNPs on endocrine functions; however, little research has been invested to recognize the potential impacts on the mammary gland, a susceptible estrogen-responsive organ. Under this setting, we here aimed to scrutinize AgNP-induced effects on the development of pubertal mammary glands at various concentrations that bear significant EHS relevance. We unearthed that AgNPs could accumulate in mouse mammary glands and result in a decrease in the percentage of ducts and terminal ducts in the adult mice after chronic exposure. Strikingly, smaller sized AgNPs showed greater capability to alter the pubertal mammary development than larger sized particles. Intriguingly, mechanistic investigation revealed that the reduction of epithelial proliferation in response to AgNPs was ascribed to reduced ERα expression, which, at least partially, accounted for diseased epithelial morphology in mammary glands. Meanwhile, the decline in fibrous collagen deposition around the epithelium was found to contribute to the compromised development of mammary glands under the exposure of AgNPs. Moreover, as an extension of the mechanism, AgNPs diminished serum levels of estradiol in exposed animals. Together, these results uncovered a novel toxicity feature of AgNPs: compromised development of mouse pubertal mammary glands through the endocrine-disrupting actions. This study would open a new avenue to unveil the EHS impacts of AgNPs.
Quasi-exactly solvable quartic potential

description: A new two-parameter family of quasi-exactly solvable quartic polynomial potentials $V(x)=-x^4+2iax^3+(a^2-2b)x^2+2i(ab-J)x$ is introduced. Until now, it was believed that the lowest-degree one-dimensional quasi-exactly solvable polynomial potential is sextic. This belief is based on the assumption that the Hamiltonian must be Hermitian. However, it has recently been discovered that there are huge classes of non-Hermitian, ${\cal PT}$-symmetric Hamiltonians whose spectra are real, discrete, and bounded below [physics/9712001]. Replacing Hermiticity by the weaker condition of ${\cal PT}$ symmetry allows for new kinds of quasi-exactly solvable theories. The spectra of this family of quartic potentials discussed here are also real, discrete, and bounded below, and the quasi-exact portion of the spectra consists of the lowest $J$ eigenvalues. These eigenvalues are the roots of a $J$th-degree polynomial.

 Onthophilus yingae Jiang et al. 2020: 2.
 Remarks. This species was recently described by Jiang et al. (2020), and placed in the extant genus Onthophilus. This species is very closely related to the one I describe above, differing mainly in the presence of additional median pronotal longitudinal carinae in C. yingae. Their carina 4 (see fig. 2A in Jiang et al. 2020) is completely lacking in C. maddisoni, and pronotal carina 3 seems to be located closer to the lateral margins in C. maddisoni. With regard to generic assignment, while the similarities to Onthophilus are strong, significant differences in several characters preclude assignment to that genus, discussed further below.
