Optical second harmonic generation near a black hole horizon as possible source of experimental information on quantum gravitational effects

description: Optical second harmonic generation near a black hole horizon is suggested as a source of experimental information on quantum gravitational effects. While absent in the framework of general relativity, second harmonic generation appears in the toy models of sonic and electromagnetic black holes, where spatial dispersion at high frequencies for waves boosted towards the horizon is introduced. Localization effects in the light scattering from random fluctuations of matter fields and space-time metric near the black hole horizon produce a pronounced peak in the angular distribution of second harmonics of light in the direction normal to the horizon. Such second harmonic light has the best chances to escape the vicinity of the black hole. This phenomenon is similar to the well-known strong enhancement of diffuse second harmonic emission from a randomly rough metal surface in the direction normal to the surface.

The attitudes of the Long Parliament towards the Scots, 1640-1643
Creators: name: Scarrabelotti, Gary Francis
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1977

description: According to Professor Trevor-Roper, John Pym was in the habit of calling on the Scots to aid the Long Parliament’s cause and of dismissing them when he had done with their services. Whatever the truth of this claim, most of the historians of the Great Rebellion have followed the example of Trevor-Roper’s John Pym, and have peremptorily summoned and dismissed the Scots as it suited the requirements of their narrative* For this, however, historians of the great contest between King and Parliament ought not to be blamed. After all, the object of their scholarship is the working out of that conflict, and the drama of the events depends very much upon the close combat between King and ’Country’. The Scots are but one ingredient in a complex of rival forces; and at times the significance of the Scots to the narrative is greater than at others. To the history of the Great Rebellion, particularly during its early years, the Scots are but a shade of colour employed to develop the grand canvas upon which the general historian works. The treatment of the Scots in these early stages of the rebellion is episodic. It is a treatment which, though suiting the purposes of general history, is not necessarily appropriate to understanding the import of this single factor in the melee of the early 1640's. Such is the task of an history thesis: to highlight the issues half-forgotten in the writing of great historical narratives. There has yet to be described the Scottish factor in these tumultuous events.
Single Image Haze Removal Using Conditional Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Networks

description: We present a method to restore a clear image from a haze-affected image using a Wasserstein generative adversarial network. As the problem is ill-conditioned, previous methods have required a prior on natural images or multiple images of the same scene. We train a generative adversarial network to learn the probability distribution of clear images conditioned on the haze-affected images using the Wasserstein loss function, using a gradient penalty to enforce the Lipschitz constraint. The method is data-adaptive, end-to-end, and requires no further processing or tuning of parameters. We also incorporate the use of a texture-based loss metric and the L1 loss to improve results, and show that our results are better than the current state-of-the-art.

description: When not appropriately managed, technical debt is considered to have negative effects on the long term success of a software project. However, how the debt metaphor applies to requirements engineering in general, and to requirements engineering activities in particular, is not well understood. Grounded in the existing literature, we present a holistic definition of requirements debt which include debt incurred during the identification, formalization, and implementation of requirements. We outline future assessment to validate and further refine our proposed definition. This conceptualization is the first step towards a requirements debt monitoring framework to support stakeholders decisions, such as when to incur and eventually pay back requirements debt, and at what costs

description: We report on the construction of multiarm colloidal molecules by tip-linking filamentous bacteriophages, functionalized either by biological engineering or chemical conjugation. The affinity for streptavidin of a genetically modified vector phage displaying Strep-tags fused to one end of the viral particle is measured by determining the dissociation constant, Kd. In order to improve both the colloidal stability and the efficiency of the self-assembly process, a biotinylation protocol having a chemical yield higher than 90% is presented to regioselectively functionalize the cystein residues located at one end of the bacteriophages. For both viral systems, a theoretical comparison is performed by developing a quantitative model of the self-assembly and interaction of the modified viruses with streptavidin compounds, which accurately accounts for our experimental results. Multiarm colloidal structures of different valencies are then produced by conjugation of these tip-functionalized viruses with streptavidin activated nanoparticles. We succeed to form stable virus based colloidal molecules, whose number of arms, called valency, is solely controlled by tuning the molar excess. Thanks to a fluorescent labeling of the viral arms, the dynamics of such systems is also presented in real time by fluorescence microscopy.

Job satisfaction, performance and burnout in two groups of employees
Creators: name: Randall, M.C.

Year: 1985

description: A survey was conducted among 250 nurses and 108 Motor Registry staff to investigate correlates of job satisfaction, burnout and self-rated job performance supervisors In addition, employees' job performance was rated by their A strong relationship was found between burnout and dissatisfaction with the job, but the two measures had some different correlates, which suggested that these concepts were distinguishable. In both samples, employees in higher level positions showed more satisfaction, less burnout and gave themselves higher performance ratings. Perceived prestige of the job and social support from other workers and family were positive predictors of job satisfaction and negative predictors of burnout. Stressful job conditions, such as inability to take breaks and dealing with upset clients, were predictive of burnout and dissatisfaction, In both samples, workers with strong commitment to life--setting goals, taking all opportunities, and seeking fulfilment--and workers with a striver/achiever disposition were less prone to burnout and dissatisfaction. There was partial corroboration of Maslach and Jackson's results regarding demographic characteristics of employees who experience burnout. In both samples, young single workers were more prone to burnout and dissatisfaction, Among nurses, little time in the current position and lack of nursing experience were also predictive of burnout and dissatisfaction. Comparison of mean scores for the two samples indicated less satisfaction among nurses than among Motor Registry staff, but similar levels of burnout, This refutes the claim by some authors that burnout is experienced only by helping professionals. The limitations of cross-sectional research in understanding the process are indicated, and the need for longitudinal research reiterated.

description: Design of experiments is an effective, generic methodology for problem solving as well as for improving or optimizing product design and manufacturing processes. The most commonly used experimental designs are two-level fractional factorial designs. In recent years, nonregular fractional factorial two-level experimental designs have gained much popularity compared to the traditional regular fractional factorial designs, because they offer more flexibility in terms of run size as well as the possibility to estimate partially aliased effects. For this reason, there is much interest in finding good nonregular designs, and in orthogonal blocking arrangements of these designs. In this contribution, we address the problem of finding orthogonal blocking arrangements of high-quality nonregular two-level designs in scenarios with two crossed blocking factors. We call these blocking arrangements orthogonal row-column arrangements. We propose two strategies to find row-column arrangements of given two-level orthogonal treatment designs such that the treatment factors’ main effects are orthogonal to both blocking factors. The first strategy involves a sequential approach which is especially useful when one blocking factor is more important than the other. The second strategy involves a simultaneous approach for situations where both blocking factors are equally important. For the latter approach, we propose three different optimization models, so that, in total, we consider four different methods to obtain row-column arrangements. We compare the performance of the four methods by looking for good row-column arrangements of the best two-level 24-run orthogonal designs in terms of the G-aberration criterion, and apply the best of these methods to 64- and 72-run orthogonal designs.
The ethical foundations of Marxism
Creators: name: Kamenka, Eugene
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1961

description: The relationship between Marxism and ethics is often alluded to and rarely explored. The disputes that surround it have produced little precision or clarity concerning the issues involved; so far they have illuminated neither Marxism nor ethics. Marx himself wrote nothing devoted directly to the problems of moral philosophy. Nowhere did he consider carefully the concept of moral obligations or the criteria for distinguishing moral demands from other demands. He did, it is true, emphatically reject the conception of ethics as a “normative science”; he denied completely the existence of “values”, “norms” and “ideals” above or outside the empirical realm of facts. He prided himself that he had not asked “what ought to be”, but only “what is”. Yet the answers he gave to his questions have seemed to many of his disciples and critics implicitly ethical and /or advocative…

description: The state-of-the-art approaches employ approximate computing to reduce the energy consumption of DNN hardware. Approximate DNNs then require extensive retraining afterwards to recover from the accuracy loss caused by the use of approximate operations. However, retraining of complex DNNs does not scale well. In this paper, we demonstrate that efficient approximations can be introduced into the computational path of DNN accelerators while retraining can completely be avoided. ALWANN provides highly optimized implementations of DNNs for custom low-power accelerators in which the number of computing units is lower than the number of DNN layers. First, a fully trained DNN is converted to operate with 8-bit weights and 8-bit multipliers in convolutional layers. A suitable approximate multiplier is then selected for each computing element from a library of approximate multipliers in such a way that (i) one approximate multiplier serves several layers, and (ii) the overall classification error and energy consumption are minimized. The optimizations including the multiplier selection problem are solved by means of a multiobjective optimization NSGA-II algorithm. In order to completely avoid the computationally expensive retraining of DNN, which is usually employed to improve the classification accuracy, we propose a simple weight updating scheme that compensates the inaccuracy introduced by employing approximate multipliers. The proposed approach is evaluated for two architectures of DNN accelerators with approximate multipliers from the open-source "EvoApprox" library. We report that the proposed approach saves 30% of energy needed for multiplication in convolutional layers of ResNet-50 while the accuracy is degraded by only 0.6%. The proposed technique and approximate layers are available as an open-source extension of TensorFlow at https://github.com/ehw-fit/tf-approximate.

description: Full radiative transfer in 3D space has been solved to pursue the reionization history in an inhomogeneous universe. It has been shown that the reionization of an inhomogeneous universe is not a prompt event, but a fairly slow process. Also, QSO absorption line systems are simulated with using the results of radiative transfer calculations. Ly$α$ continuum depression implies that the metagalactic UV intensity decreases rapidly with $z$ at $z>5$, and the reionization must have taken place between $z=6$ and 10. Finally, it is stressed that H$α$ forest is a more powerful tool to probe the reionization history and the density fluctuations in the universe at $z>5$.

description: This paper presents a preliminary design study of three turbojet powered missiles whose main task is to cruise with medium subsonic speed, reach the maximum range at 60 km and terminally ram a moving target. Current modern cruise missiles fly at high subsonic speed which need powerful jet engine. Compensating the lack of such engine, our design’s main feature lies in its ability to optimize the lift force at a spectrum of speed from 10 m/s to 30 m/s, with the lowest drag as possible as dictated for engagement against any static or moving ground target. Airfoil selection is tailored to assist a wing configuration design that could operate over than 20 m/s of speed spectrum. Main wing, fuselage, fins and leading edge wing extension or LERX are the main benefactors of a desired flight performance. A decent short period damping ratio and the ability to produce a tight vertical loop are major useful flight characteristics for the vehicle to track, follow and hit any ground target. Besides of a quick turning ability, a good handling quality is imperative for a manually controlled experimental flight. Lift, drag and moment analysis are conducted from data generated by CFD program such as FloEFD, and parametrical program such as Missile DATCOM. Those results are used to construct the airplane flight model and implement it in a non-linear flight simulator X-Plane. This flight model will be used to elaborate the preliminary design iteration further. It is observed that the designed vehicles, MOYAV Hiu (Shark) F14, F16 and F23 have preliminary flight performances that meet the design requirement.

description: Magnetic Penrose process (MPP) is not only the most exciting and fascinating process mining the rotational energy of black hole but it is also the favored astrophysically viable mechanism for high energy sources and phenomena. It operates in three regimes of efficiency, namely low, moderate and ultra, depending on the magnetization and charging of spinning black holes in astrophysical setting. In this paper, we revisit MPP with a comprehensive discussion of its physics in different regimes, and compare its operation with other competing mechanisms. We show that MPP could in principle foot the bill for powering engine of such phenomena as ultra-high-energy cosmic rays, relativistic jets, fast radio bursts, quasars, AGNs, etc. Further, it also leads to a number of important observable predictions. All this beautifully bears out the promise of a new vista of energy powerhouse heralded by Roger Penrose half a century ago through this process, and it has today risen in its magnetically empowered version of mid 1980s from a purely thought experiment of academic interest to a realistic powering mechanism for various high-energy astrophysical phenomena.

The role of damped Alfven waves on magnetospheric accretion models of young stars

description: We examine the role of Alfven wave damping in heating the plasma in the magnetic funnels of magnetospheric accretion models of young stars. We study four different damping mechanisms of the Alfven waves: nonlinear, turbulent, viscous-resistive and collisional. Two different possible origins for the Alfven waves are discussed: 1) Alfven waves generated at the surface of the star by the shock produced by the infalling matter; and 2) Alfven waves generated locally in the funnel by the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability. We find that, in general, the damping lengths are smaller than the tube length. Since thermal conduction in the tube is not efficient, Alfven waves generated only at the star's surface cannot heat the tube to the temperatures necessary to fit the observations. Only for very low frequency Alfven waves ~10^{-5} the ion cyclotron frequency, is the viscous-resistive damping length greater than the tube length. In this case, the Alfven waves produced at the surface of the star are able to heat the whole tube. Otherwise, local production of Alfven waves is required to explain the observations. The turbulence level is calculated for different frequencies for optically thin and thick media. We find that turbulent velocities varies greatly for different damping mechanisms, reaching \~100 km s^{-1} for the collisional damping of small frequency waves.

Are proposition-entities the objects of the propositional attitudes?
Creators: name: Broadribb, Dale William
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1986

description: In this thesis I examine the proposal that proposition entities are the objects of the propositional attitudes in the sense that they are what we believe, doubt, desire, etc. As a corollary of this, I also examine the proposal that proposition-entities are the objects of such acts of speech as asserting or stating in the sense that they are what we assert or state. So as to present the best side of these proposals, which I do not view favourably, I attempt to give an account of, and draw together, what I believe are the main arguments and assumptions that are endemic to them. But there are a number of theories that dispute the validity of holding that what we believe, doubt, desire,assert, state, etc., are proposition-entities. Might not one of these theories prove to be more viable? I attempt to answer this question, at least in part, by critically discussing what I take to be the major theories of this kind. First up, some theories that substitute other types of entities for propositions are looked at. These include theories that appeal to facts (e.g., Broad, and to a lesser degree, Anderson), multiple objects (e.g.,Russell, Woozley, and Geach), sentences (e.g., Carnapians), and inscriptions (e.g. Scheffler). A theory by A.R. White which partly retains and partly rejects proposition-entities is also considered. I then assess some major theories that deny that proposition-entities or entities of any other type are objects of the attitudes. These theories include the 'believes that' analysis {Prior and Quine), the paratactic analysis {Davidson), some forms of behaviourism {e.g., Russell, Braithwaite, and Ayer), adverbial analysis {e.g., Aune, Ziff, and Sellars), and a theory by Searle which eschews proposition-entities as objects of the attitudes, but retains them in an innocuous sense. A more radical approach is to deny that there are such things as propositional attitudes. Stephen Stitch drifts towards this view, and I examine his position. Finally, I evaluate some recent arguments of Perry and Fodor that are of relevance. All these theories, with the exception of those of Perry and Fodor, contain serious, particular flaws which I try to draw out. In some cases an attempt is also made to ascertain whether there is an underlying problem with, for example, the type of analysis or paraphrase used. I also draw attention to some problems that any theory of the propositional attitudes would have to face, such as providing an analysis or treatment of 'Paul believes something that Elmer does not', and eventually make some suggestions of my own in this regard. In the final Chapter I attempt to show by appealing to certain paraphrases that neither proposition-entities nor entities of any other type are objects of the attitudes or speech acts. I defend the type of paraphrase used, and explain why it does not succumb to certain objections that were previously raised.

On the Thermonuclear Runaway in Type Ia Supernovae: How to run away?

description: Type Ia Supernovae are thought to be thermonuclear explosions of massive white dwarfs (WD). We present the first study of multi-dimensional effects during the final hours prior to the thermonuclear runaway which leads to the explosion. The calculations utilize an implicit, 2-D hydro code.Mixing and the ignition process are studied in detail. We find that the initial chemical structure of the WD is changed but the material is not fully homogenized. The exploding WD sustains a central region with a low C/O ratio. This implies that the explosive nuclear burning will begin in a partially C-depleted environment. The thermonuclear runaway happens in a well defined region close to the center. It is induced by compressional heat when matter is brought inwards by convective flows. We find no evidence for multiple spot or strong off-center ignition. Convective velocities are of the order of 100 km/sec which is well above the effective burning speeds in SNe Ia previously expected right after the runaway. For about 0.5 to 1 sec, the speed of the burning front will neither be determined by the laminar speed nor the Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities but by convective flows produced prior to the runaway. The consequences are discussed for our under- standing of the detailed physics of the flame propagation, the deflagration detonation transition, and the nucleosynthesis in the central layers. Our results strongly suggest the pre-conditioning of the progenitor as a key-factor for our understanding of the diversity in SNeIa.

description: Statistical design and analysis of computer experiments is a growing area in statistics. Computer models with structural invariance properties now appear frequently in materials science, physics, biology and other fields. These properties are consequences of dependency on structural geometry, and cannot be accommodated by standard statistical emulation methods. In this paper, we propose a statistical framework for building emulators to preserve invariance. The framework uses a weighted complete graph to represent the geometry and introduces a new class of function, called the relabeling symmetric functions, associated with the graph. We establish a characterization theorem of the relabeling symmetric functions, and propose a nonparametric kernel method for estimating such functions. The effectiveness of the proposed method is illustrated by examples from materials science.
title: Succession in ministry in the Assemblies of God USA: what psychographic variables shape the belief system of the AG USA millennial Christian leaders and what is its impact on leadership?
Creators: name: Adamson, Heath
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London

description: The religious beliefs and practices among the Millennial generational cohort in America continue to change. Conservative, mainline denominations are primarily in decline. As a conservative Evangelical, Pentecostal denomination, comprised of approximately 13,000 churches, the Assemblies of God USA finds itself at the juxtaposition of change. The purpose of this study is to understand the current AG USA Millennial Christian leadership psychography and identify variables impacting leadership succession within the denomination. Variables were identified from two data sets emerging from a mixed-methods research approach. Qualitative research, comprised of semi-structured focus groups, were comprised of twelve unique groups across the United States with a total of 79 individuals, whom were AG USA Millennial Christian leaders, participating. Quantitative research was comprised of a survey distributed to AG USA credentialed ministers. In total, 5324 credentialed AG USA ministers opened the survey and 3625 completed every item. This study extends the research on the evolving religious landscape in America and identifies, from the research analysis and literature review, dialectical tensions between AG USA Millennial leaders and both their secular and religious cohorts. These nine dialectics frame the cohort’s positionalities and extend the research on an American sociology of religion. This research can: 1) Equip AG USA to negotiate change and leadership succession with its Millennial Christian leaders; 2) Contribute to discussions within American religion of the rich, liminal space the AG USA Millennial cohort inhabits; and, 3) Introduce a theological nuance within AG USA’s religious tradition which can create generational symbiosis and religious tolerance within conservative, Evangelical, Pentecostal spheres.

description: We present an analysis of age, metal abundance, and positional data on populous clusters in the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) with the ultimate aim of determining the line-of-sight (LOS) depth of the SMC using these clusters as proxies. Our dataset contains 12 objects and is limited to clusters with the highest quality data for which the ages and abundances are best known and can be placed on an internally consistent scale. We have analyzed the variation of the clusters' properties with position on the sky and with line-of-sight depth. Based on this analysis, we draw the following conclusions. 1) The observational data indicates that the eastern side of the SMC (facing the LMC) contains younger and more metal-rich clusters as compared with the western side. This is not a strong correlation because our dataset of clusters is necessarily limited, but it is suggestive and warrants further study. 2) Depending on how the reddening is computed to our clusters, we find a mean distance modulus that ranges from (m-M)_0 = 18.71 +/- 0.06 to (m-M)_0 = 18.82 +/- 0.05. 3) The intrinsic +/- 1-sigma line-of-sight depth of the SMC populous clusters in our study is between ~6 kpc and ~12 kpc depending primarily on whether we adopt the Burstein & Heiles reddenings or those from Schlegel et al. 4) Viewing the SMC as a triaxial galaxy with the Declination, Right Ascension, and LOS depth as the three axes, we find axial ratios of approximately 1:2:4. Taken together, these conclusions largely agree with those of previous investigators and serve to underscore the utility of populous star clusters as probes of the structure of the Small Magellanic Cloud.
