description: We extend our earlier study on two-particle angular correlations in $pp$ collisions at low transverse momentum ($p_T$) to $p$-Pb, Pb-Pb and Au-Au collisions at RHIC and LHC energies. We mainly use the string melting version of a multiphase transport model with improved quark coalescence for this study. We start from the analysis of $π^{\pm}$, $K^{\pm}$ and $p$($\bar{p}$) $p_T$ and rapidity distributions at different centralities. We then focus on two-particle angular correlations in $p$-Pb collisions at $\mathrm{\sqrt{s_{NN}} = 5.02}$ TeV and Pb-Pb collisions at $\mathrm{\sqrt{s_{NN}}= 2.76}$ TeV. For $p$-Pb collisions, a near side depression in the angular correlation is observed for low $p_T$ proton pairs and $Λ$ pairs but not for pion pairs or kaon pairs, similar to our earlier finding for $pp$ collisions at $\mathrm{\sqrt{s}= 7}$ TeV. This is also the case for very low multiplicity Pb-Pb and Au-Au collisions. We also find that parton interactions and the improved quark coalescence are mainly responsible for the depression feature in baryon pair angular correlations. However, no such baryon-baryon anti-correlations are observed in Pb-Pb and Au-Au collisions at higher multiplicities. Therefore our results suggest that low $p_T$ baryon-baryon angular anti-correlations have a strong multiplicity dependence.

Gravitational Wave Spectrums from Pole-like Inflations based on Generalized Gravity Theories
Creators: name: Hwang, J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a general and unified formulation which can handle the classical evolution and quantum generation processes of the cosmological gravitational wave in a broad class of generalized gravity theories. Applications are made in several inflation models based on the scalar-tensor theory, the induced gravity, and the low energy effective action of string theory. The gravitational wave power spectrums based on the vacuum expectation value of the quantized fluctuating metric during the pole-like inflation stages are derived in analytic forms. Assuming that the gravity theory transits to Einstein one while the relevant scales remain in the superhorizon scale, we derive the consequent power spectrums and the directional fluctuations of the relic radiation produced by the gravitational wave. The spectrums seeded by the vacuum fluctuations in the pole-like inflation models based on the generalized gravity show a distinguished common feature which differs from the scale invariant spectrum generated in an exponential inflation in Einstein gravity which is supported by observations.

Chaotic Monte Carlo computation: a dynamical effect of random-number generations

description: It is shown that superefficient Monte Carlo computations can be carried out by using chaotic dynamical systems as non-uniform random-number generators. Here superefficiency means that the expectation value of the square of the error decreases to 0 as 1/N^{2} with N successive observations for N-> infinity, whereas the conventional Monte Carlo simulation gives the square of the error in the order 1/N. The order of N in the error convergence speed of superefficient Monte Carlo computations does not depend on the dimensionality of the problems. By deriving a necessary and sufficient condition for the superefficiency, it is shown that such high-performance Monte Carlo simulations can be carried out only if there exists a strong correlation of chaotic dynamical variables.

Quantum link bootstrapping using a RuleSet-based communication protocol

description: Establishing end-to-end quantum connections requires quantified link characteristics, and operations need to coordinate decision-making between nodes across a network. We introduce the RuleSet-based communication protocol for supporting quantum operations over distant nodes to minimize classical packet transmissions for guaranteeing synchronicity. RuleSets are distributed to nodes along a path at connection set up time, and hold lists of operations that need to be performed in real time. We simulate the RuleSet-based quantum link bootstrapping protocol, which consists of recurrent purifications and link-level tomography, to quantify the quantum link fidelity and its throughput. Our Markov-Chain Monte-Carlo simulation includes various error sources, such as the memory error, gate error and channel error, modeled on currently available hardware. We found that when two quantum nodes, each with 100 memory qubits capable of emitting photons ideally to the optical fiber, are physically connected with a 10km MeetInTheMiddle link, the Recurrent Single selection - Single error purification (RSs-Sp) protocol is capable of bringing up the fidelity from an average input $F_{r}=0.675$ to around $F_{r}=0.865$ with a generation rate of 1106 Bell pairs per second, as determined by simulated tomography. The system gets noisier with longer channels, in which case errors may develop faster than the purification gain. In such a situation, a stronger purification method, such as the double selection-based purification, shows an advantage for improving the fidelity. The knowledge acquired from bootstrapping can later be distributed to nodes within the same network, and used for other purposes such as route selection.

description: Segmentation is a key step in analyzing and processing medical images. Due to the low fault tolerance in medical imaging, manual segmentation remains the de facto standard in this domain. Besides, efforts to automate the segmentation process often rely on large amounts of manually labeled data. While existing software supporting manual segmentation is rich in features and delivers accurate results, the necessary time to set it up and get comfortable using it can pose a hurdle for the collection of large datasets. This work introduces a client/server based online environment, referred to as Studierfenster (studierfenster.at), that can be used to perform manual segmentations directly in a web browser. The aim of providing this functionality in the form of a web application is to ease the collection of ground truth segmentation datasets. Providing a tool that is quickly accessible and usable on a broad range of devices, offers the potential to accelerate this process. The manual segmentation workflow of Studierfenster consists of dragging and dropping the input file into the browser window and slice-by-slice outlining the object under consideration. The final segmentation can then be exported as a file storing its contours and as a binary segmentation mask. In order to evaluate the usability of Studierfenster, a user study was performed. The user study resulted in a mean of 6.3 out of 7.0 possible points given by users, when asked about their overall impression of the tool. The evaluation also provides insights into the results achievable with the tool in practice, by presenting two ground truth segmentations performed by physicians.

description: Population of the senior citizens are increasing rapidly in many parts of the world. South Korea is one of the countries which are rapidly getting into aged society. In this situation, it is important to provide an age-friendly environment to increasing senior population. In South Korea, age-friendly environment can be provided by elderly welfare facilities. Therefore, this study focused on what effects the most for the allocation of the elderly welfare facility and defines whether if they are evenly allocated or not. Twenty-five districts of Seoul was analyzed with correlation analysis and found statistically significant results for medical, leisure, and ambulatory welfare facilities. Dissimilarity index showed about 9 % of the elderly welfare facilities were not evenly distributed. The population of the elderly is projected to increase in the future and to achieve aged-friendly society, the number of elderly welfare facilities has to be increased accordingly. To ensure fairness of services, allocation of the facilities must consider the elderly population indices and the elderly welfare law must enact just criteria for the establishment of welfare facilities and standards for qualification to use welfare facilities.

description: A novel method of transplanting algebras of observables from de Sitter space to a large class of Robertson-Walker space-times is exhibited. It allows one to establish the existence of an abundance of local nets on these spaces which comply with a recently proposed condition of geometric modular action. The corresponding modular symmetry groups appearing in these examples also satisfy a condition of modular stability, which has been suggested as a substitute for the requirement of positivity of the energy in Minkowski space. Moreover, they exemplify the conjecture that the modular symmetry groups are generically larger than the isometry and conformal groups of the underlying space-times.

I am interested in discussing how mestizaje as a repurposed racial ideology among the Chicana/o movement appropriated and incorporated indigeneity while simultaneously erasing and obscuring Black historical and cultural influences. Through a textual analysis of pinnacle Chicana/o movement newspapers El Grito del Norte and Hijas de Cuauhtémoc, I discuss the multiple ways the discourses of mestizaje, Chicana/o identity, cultural and historical formations within these newspapers become intertwined with and informed by larger political, historical, and cultural systems, such as colonialism, White supremacy, and nationalism

description: It is shown that the quarks and leptons of the standard model, including a right-handed neutrino, can be obtained by gauging the holonomy groups of complex projective spaces of complex dimensions two and three. The spectrum emerges as chiral zero modes of the Dirac operator coupled to gauge fields and the demonstration involves an index theorem analysis on a general complex projective space in the presence of topologically non-trivial SU(n)xU(1) gauge fields. The construction may have applications in type IIA string theory and non-commutative geometry.

The Stories We Tell: Novellas, News, and the Uses of Casuistry in Early Modern Europe

Casuistry in literature

description: This dissertation examines representations of legal, theological, and medical modes of case thinking and case narration in the novella collections of four early modern authors: Giovanni Boccaccio (1313-1375), Marguerite de Navarre (1492-1549), Matteo Bandello (c.1485-1562), and Miguel de Cervantes (1547-1616). It further investigates how these collections perform and problematize practices of narrating and interpreting cases while framing such practices within the context of the navigation of daily news. Indeed, keen observers of the capacity of informal and formal networks to circulate information and opinions in unpredictable ways and on scales unprecedented, these authors also used the novella genre—and the polysemy of the term “novella”—to intervene in contemporary debates on the value of novelty and on the merits of popularizing expert knowledge. I argue that the early modern novella’s role as a literary mediator between professional forms of the case and popular forms of the news report was instrumental to its durable transnational European success. Over the course of this dissertation, I show how these collections depict the art of storytelling qua case narration as an essential ethical component of professional casuistries and of everyday information exchanges. I draw attention to specific professional inflections of the case-novella-news nexus, in order to highlight how each author conceives—and makes the case for—the indispensability of storytelling to spiritual and civic life. I demonstrate that a juridical approach to cases and novelty takes precedence in Boccaccio’s Decameron. I show that, in contrast, Marguerite de Navarre’s Heptaméron relies on distinctly theological conceptions of cases and news. I proceed to compare the type of moral casuistry found in the Heptaméron to that found in Matteo Bandello’s Novelle. Finally, I investigate the consequences of Cervantes’ predilection for a medical approach to case analysis, novelty, and news in his Novelas ejemplares. The broader ambition of this investigation is twofold: first, to contribute a literary and historical perspective to contemporary methodological debates on the value of case thinking in the human sciences and in the liberal professions, and second, to pave the way for an exploration of the casuistical foundations of modern journalism at a time when its epistemological and ethical priorities are sorely in need of being reassessed.
Multi-stage Antenna Selection for Adaptive Beamforming in MIMO Arrays

description: Increasing the number of transmit and receive elements in multiple-input-multiple-output (MIMO) antenna arrays imposes a substantial increase in hardware and computational costs. We mitigate this problem by employing a reconfigurable MIMO array where large transmit and receive arrays are multiplexed in a smaller set of k baseband signals. We consider four stages for the MIMO array configuration and propose four different selection strategies to offer dimensionality reduction in post-processing and achieve hardware cost reduction in digital signal processing (DSP) and radio-frequency (RF) stages. We define the problem as a determinant maximization and develop a unified formulation to decouple the joint problem and select antennas/elements in various stages in one integrated problem. We then analyze the performance of the proposed selection approaches and prove that, in terms of the output SINR, a joint transmit-receive selection method performs best followed by matched-filter, hybrid and factored selection methods. The theoretical results are validated numerically, demonstrating that all methods allow an excellent trade-off between performance and cost.

description: Conservation laws of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation are studied in the presence of higher-order nonlinear optical effects including the third-order dispersion and the self-steepening. In a context of group theory, we derive a general expression for infinitely many conserved currents and charges of the coupled higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation. The first few currents and charges are also presented explicitly. Due to the higher-order effects, conservation laws of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation are violated in general. The differences between the types of the conserved currents for the Hirota and the Sasa-Satsuma equations imply that the higher-order terms determine the inherent types of conserved quantities for each integrable cases of the higher-order nonlinear Schrödinger equation.

description: We show that quantum theory (QT) is a substructure of classical probabilistic physics. The central quantity of the classical theory is Hamilton's function, which determines canonical equations, a corresponding flow, and a Liouville equation for a probability density. We extend this theory in two respects: (1) The same structure is defined for arbitrary observables. Thus we have all of the above entities generated not only by Hamilton's function but by every observable. (2) We introduce for each observable a phase space function representing the classical action. This is a redundant quantity in a classical context but indispensable for the transition to QT. The basic equations of the resulting theory take a "quantum-like" form, which allows for a simple derivation of QT by means of a projection to configuration space reported previously [Quantum Stud.:Math. Found. (2018) 5:219-227]. We obtain the most important relations of QT, namely the form of operators, Schrödinger's equation, eigenvalue equations, commutation relations, expectation values, and Born's rule. Implications for the interpretation of QT are discussed, as well as an alternative projection method allowing for a derivation of spin.

The Strange Commodity of Cultural Exchange: Martha Graham and the State Department on Tour, 1955-1987

description: The study of Martha Graham's State Department tours and her modern dance demonstrates that between 1955 and 1987 a series of Cold Wars required a steady product that could meet "informational" propaganda needs over time. After World War II, dance critics mitigated the prewar influence of the German and Japanese modernist artists to create a freed and humanist language because modern dance could only emerge from a nation that was free, and not from totalitarian regimes. Thus the modern dance became American, while at the same time it represented a universal man. During the Cold War, the aging of Martha Graham's dance, from innovative and daring to traditional and even old-fashioned, mirrored the nation's transition from a newcomer that advertised itself as the postwar home of freedom, modernity, and Western civilization to an established power that attempted to set international standards of diplomacy. Graham and her works, read as texts alongside State Department country plans, United States Information Agency publicity, other documentary evidence, and oral histories, reveal a complex matrix of relationships between government agencies and the artists they supported, as well as foundations, private individuals, corporations, country governments, and representatives of business and culture. Because four elements of Graham's modern dance created by her biography can be traced back to ideas of American identity, human universalism, Asian culture, and the Western canon of ancient Greek, European, and biblical texts, the State Department deployed her work throughout Europe and Asia to transmit ideas about America with choreography that could demonstrate cultural convergences, or the merging of American modernist techniques with host country elements. This targeted strategy of advertisement for international leaders, which translated host-country traditions with a universal language of the modern dance, made in America, argued that the United States would and could partner with the nation states Graham visited in order to achieve foreign policy agendas.

Children’s Anxiety in Primary Schools: Teachers’ Perceptions and Approaches
Creators: name: Hopkins, Paula
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Background: Anxiety disorders are amongst the most common mental health disorders in children and are becoming more prevalent. As such, it is essential that interventions are timely and effective. Schools are being recognised as fertile ground for fostering positive mental health and for implementing preventative programmes. Method: Systematic database searching yielded 1113 studies with 52 duplicated papers. 1044 studies were excluded against eligibility criteria for various reasons: age group was too high, delivery of programme was not actually universal. Twelve studies from the remaining seventeen were selected for this review after critical appraisal. All twelve were randomised control trials with large enough sample sizes ranging from one whole school population to forty schools’ population. Results: The majority of the universal programmes in this review reported significant effects on the reduction of anxiety symptomology with some reporting sustained improvements over time. Areas of specific impact included: reduction of oppositional coping strategies; reduction in behaviour difficulties; increase in social and emotional competence and improved social skills and ability to cope. One study reported improved social climate and less bullying in the classroom. Where parents or carers were involved in a programme, they reported significant gains in their children’s coping skills and emotional and behavioural competence, reductions in their own stress and more positive perceptions of their children’s behaviour. Conclusions: Universal anxiety prevention programmes delivered at primary school level show promising outcomes for children. Implications for teacher training, engagement with delivery and parental involvement are discussed.

description: Using the Painlevé analysis, we investigate the integrability properties of a system of two coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations that describe the propagation of orthogonally polarized optical waves in an isotropic medium. Besides the well-known integrable vector nonlinear Schrödinger equation, we show that there exist a new set of equations passing the Painlevé test where the self and cross phase modulational terms are of different magnitude. We introduce the Hirota bilinearization and the Bäcklund transformation to obtain soliton solutions and prove integrability by making a change of variables. The conditions on the third-order susceptibility tensor $χ^{(3)} $ imposed by these new integrable equations are explained.

description: We investigate Levi subgroups of a connected reductive algebraic group G, over a ground field K. We parametrize their conjugacy classes in terms of sets of simple roots and we prove that two Levi K-subgroups of G are rationally conjugate if and only if they are geometrically conjugate. These results are generalized to arbitrary connected linear algebraic K-groups. In that setting the appropriate analogue of a Levi subgroup is derived from the notion of a pseudo-parabolic subgroup.

description: Inversion codes allow reconstructing a model atmosphere from observations. With the inclusion of optically thick lines that form in the solar chromosphere, such modelling is computationally very expensive because a non-LTE evaluation of the radiation field is required. In this study, we combine the results provided by these traditional methods with machine and deep learning techniques to obtain similar-quality results in an easy-touse, much faster way. We have applied these new methods to Mg II h&k lines observed by IRIS. As a result, we are able to reconstruct the thermodynamic state (temperature, line-of-sight velocity, non-thermal velocities, electron density, etc.) in the chromosphere and upper photosphere of an area equivalent to an active region in a few CPU minutes, speeding up the process by a factor of $10^5$-$10^6$. The open-source code accompanying this paper will allow the community to use IRIS observations to open a new window to a host of solar phenomena.

description: The Hirschfeld-Gebelein-Rényi (HGR) maximal correlation and the corresponding functions have been shown useful in many machine learning scenarios. In this paper, we study the sample complexity of estimating the HGR maximal correlation functions by the alternating conditional expectation (ACE) algorithm using training samples from large datasets. Specifically, we develop a mathematical framework to characterize the learning errors between the maximal correlation functions computed from the true distribution, and the functions estimated from the ACE algorithm. For both supervised and semi-supervised learning scenarios, we establish the analytical expressions for the error exponents of the learning errors. Furthermore, we demonstrate that for large datasets, the upper bounds for the sample complexity of learning the HGR maximal correlation functions by the ACE algorithm can be expressed using the established error exponents. Moreover, with our theoretical results, we investigate the sampling strategy for different types of samples in semi-supervised learning with a total sampling budget constraint, and an optimal sampling strategy is developed to maximize the error exponent of the learning error. Finally, the numerical simulations are presented to support our theoretical results.

description: Enrolment into Vocational Education and Training (VET) courses that do not meet student expectations can cause dissatisfaction with the institution of choice, as well as impact on student retention and completion. If this results in non-completion of study, students may also experience lower self-esteem and confidence. Withdrawal is also costly in staff time and revenue loss from government subsidised training and fee-for-service. Current research reports that the main reason students undertake VET study is the expectation of employment on completion.
This study examined whether pre-commencement career advice for students studying community services can inform students on appropriate course selection and readiness for study. As qualifications in community services are unregulated and unlicensed, students are not always aware of the employment outcomes available on completion as these can vary depending on the level of qualification undertaken.
The data was collected through semi-structured initial interviews and follow-up surveys.
The study used a qualitative research approach including descriptive and thematic analysis to report on themes or patterns that emerge from the student’s perceptions.
Findings from this study contributes to the identification of effective strategies that could empower students to make informed career decisions prior to enrolment into VET courses. In addition, this information can enhance support structures that some students may require to be prepared for course commencement. Information gained from this study will be used in future research to develop a career advice program that can be applied to other disciplinary areas and educational contexts.

Spin effects in gravitational radiation backreaction I. The Lense-Thirring approximation

description: The gravitational radiation backreaction effects are considered in the Lense-Thirring approximation. New methods for parameterizing the orbit and for averaging the instantaneous radiative losses are developed. To first order in the spin S of the black hole, both in the absence and in the presence of gravitational radiation, a complete description of the test-particle orbit is given. This is achieved by two improvements over the existing descriptions. First, by introducing new angle variables with a straightforward geometrical meaning. Second, by finding a new parametrization of a generic orbit, which assures that the integration over a radial period can be done in an especially simple way, by applying the residue theorem. The instantaneous radiation losses of the system are computed using the formulation of Blanchet, Damour and Iyer(1989). All losses are given both in terms of the dynamical constants of motion and the properly defined orbital elements $a,e,ι$ and $Ψ_0$. The radiative losses of the constants characterizing the Lense-Thirring motion, when suitably converted, are in agreement with earlier results of Kidder, Will and Wiseman(1993), Ryan(1996) and Shibata(1994). In addition, the radiative losses of two slowly changing orbital elements $Ψ_0,Φ_0$ are given in order to complete the characterization of the orbit.

description: I defend the view that mental states have degrees of strength. Our pains are more or less intense, our mental imagery is more or less vivid, our visual perceptions are more or less striking, and our desires and thoughts are more or less gripping. Mental strength is a phenomenal magnitude shared by all conscious experiences that determines their degree of felt intensity. Mental strength, however, has been largely ignored over other aspects of mental states such as their representational contents, phenomenology, or type. Considering mental strength is crucial for illuminating philosophical discussions related to representationalism, the transparency of experiences, cognitive phenomenology, attention, and the structure and function of consciousness. I use mental strength to develop in detail a neuropsychologically plausible theory of introspection and its limits that is inspired by a signal detection theoretic model of perception. In the second half of the dissertation, I look into methodological issues concerning the neural correlates of consciousness such as controlling for performance capacity and stimulus strength, and what these methodological concerns reveal about our theories of consciousness and its function.

description: Fix $\mathbb Z/2$ is the prime field of two elements and write $\mathcal A_2$ for the mod $2$ Steenrod algebra. Denote by $GL_d:= GL(d, \mathbb Z/2)$ the general linear group of rank $d$ over $\mathbb Z/2$ and by $\mathscr P_d$ the polynomial algebra $\mathbb Z/2[x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_d]$ as a connected unstable $\mathcal A_2$-module on $d$ generators of degree one. We study the Peterson "hit problem" of finding the minimal set of $\mathcal A_2$-generators for $\mathscr P_d.$ It is equivalent to determining a $\mathbb Z/2$-basis for the space of "cohits" $Q\mathscr P_d := \mathbb Z/2\otimes_{\mathcal A_2} \mathscr P_d \cong \mathscr P_d/\mathcal A_2^+\mathscr P_d.$ This $Q\mathscr P_d$ is also a representation of $GL_d$ over $\mathbb Z/2.$ The problem for $d= 5$ is not yet completely solved, and unknown in general. In this work, we give an explicit solution to the hit problem of five variables in the generic degree $n = r(2^t -1) + 2^ts$ with $r = d = 5,\ s =8$ and $t$ an arbitrary non-negative integer. An application of this study to the cases $t = 0$ and $t = 1$ shows that the Singer algebraic transfer of rank $5$ is an isomorphism in the bidegrees $(5, 5+(13.2^{0} - 5))$ and $(5, 5+(13.2^{1} - 5)).$ Moreover, the result when $t\geq 2$ was also discussed. Here, the Singer transfer of rank $d$ is a $\mathbb Z/2$-algebra homomorphism from $GL_d$-coinvariants of certain subspaces of $Q\mathscr P_d$ to the cohomology groups of the Steenrod algebra, ${\rm Ext}_{\mathcal A_2}^{d, d+*}(\mathbb Z/2, \mathbb Z/2).$ It is one of the useful tools for studying mysterious Ext groups and the Kervaire invariant one problem.
