description: Axionic holographic RG flow solutions are studied in the context of general Einstein-Axion-Dilaton theories. A non-trivial axion profile is dual to the (non-perturbative) running of the $θ$-term for the corresponding instanton density operator. It is shown that a non-trivial axion solution is incompatible with a non-trivial (holographic) IR conformal fixed point. Imposing a suitable axion regularity condition allows to select the IR geometry in a unique way. The solutions are found analytically in the asymptotic UV and IR regimes, and it is shown that in those regimes the axion backreaction is always negligible. The axion backreaction may become important in the intermediate region of the bulk. To make contact with the axion probe limit solutions, a systematic expansion of the solution is developed. Several concrete examples are worked out numerically. It is shown that the regularity condition always implies a finite allowed range for the axion source parameter in the UV. This translates into the existence of a finite (but large) number of saddle-points in the large $N_c$ limit. This ties in well with axion-swampland conjectures.

description: Acquired brain injury (ABI) is a leading cause of lifelong disability, but access to treatment in the chronic stages has significant barriers. Group-based, remotely delivered neurorehabilitation reduces costs, travel barriers, and infection risk; however, its feasibility for patients with ABI is not well-established. To investigate the feasibility of remotely group-based cognitive and mood therapies for persons with chronic ABI. Three hundred and eighty-eight adults with chronic ABI participated in group tele-neurorehabilitation modules comprising Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Goal Management Training®, Relaxation and Mindfulness Skills Training, and/or a novel Concussion Education & Symptom Management program. Assessments comprised quantitative metrics, surveys, as well as qualitative semi-structured interviews in a subset of participants. High retention, adherence, and satisfaction were observed. Facilitators of treatment included accessibility, cost-effectiveness, and convenience. Adoption of technology was high, but other people’s technological interruptions were a barrier. Self-reported benefits specific to group-based format included improved mood, stress management, coping, interpersonal relationships, cognitive functioning, and present-mindedness. The present study examined chronic ABI patients’ perceptions of telerehabilitation. Patients found remotely delivered, group-based mood, and cognitive interventions feasible with easy technology adoption. Group format was considered a benefit. Recommendations are provided to inform design of remotely delivered ABI programs. Group-based mood and cognitive telerehabilitation is feasible for persons with chronic acquired brain injury, with high reported satisfaction.Screening for technical proficiency and providing ongoing technical support improves therapy adherence and retention.Integration of clinical care and research is feasible for delivering remote therapies to persons with brain injury. Group-based mood and cognitive telerehabilitation is feasible for persons with chronic acquired brain injury, with high reported satisfaction.

description: We study a free scalar field $ϕ$ in a fixed curved background spacetime subject to a higher derivative field equation of the form $F(\Box)ϕ=0$, where $F$ is a polynomial of the form $F(\Box)= \prod_i (\Box-m_i^2)$ and all masses $m_i$ are distinct and real. Using an auxiliary field method to simplify the calculations, we obtain expressions for the Belinfante-Rosenfeld symmetric energy-momentum tensor and compare it with the canonical energy-momentum tensor when the background is Minkowski spacetime. We also obtain the conserved symplectic current necessary for quantisation and briefly discuss the issue of negative energy versus negative norm and its relation to Reflection Positivity in Euclidean treatments. We study, without assuming spherical symmetry, the possible existence of finite energy static solutions of the scalar equations, in static or stationary background geometries. Subject to various assumptions on the potential, we establish non-existence results including a no-scalar-hair theorem for static black holes. We consider Pais-Uhlenbeck field theories in a cosmological de Sitter background, and show how the Hubble friction may eliminate what would otherwise be unstable behaviour when interactions are included.

description: Neural network models are resource hungry. It is difficult to deploy such deep networks on devices with limited resources, like smart wearables, cellphones, drones, and autonomous vehicles. Low bit quantization such as binary and ternary quantization is a common approach to alleviate this resource requirements. Ternary quantization provides a more flexible model and outperforms binary quantization in terms of accuracy, however doubles the memory footprint and increases the computational cost. Contrary to these approaches, mixed quantized models allow a trade-off between accuracy and memory footprint. In such models, quantization depth is often chosen manually, or is tuned using a separate optimization routine. The latter requires training a quantized network multiple times. Here, we propose an adaptive combination of binary and ternary quantization, namely Smart Quantization (SQ), in which the quantization depth is modified directly via a regularization function, so that the model is trained only once. Our experimental results show that the proposed method adapts quantization depth successfully while keeping the model accuracy high on MNIST and CIFAR10 benchmarks.

description: Whether China maintains its business-as-usual energy-intensive growth trajectory or changes to a sustainable development alternative has significant implications for global energy and climate governance. This paper is motivated to theoretically examine China’s potential transition from its energy-intensive status quo to an innovation-oriented growth prospect. We develop an economic growth model that incorporates the endogenous mechanism of technological innovation and its interaction with fossil energy use and the environment. We find that from an initial condition with a pristine environment and a small amount of capital installation, the higher dynamic benefits of physical investment will incentivize the investment in physical capital rather than R&D-related innovation. Accumulation of the energy-consuming capital thus leads to an intensive use of fossil energy - an energy-intensive growth pattern. But if the mechanism of R&D-related innovation is introduced into the economy, until the dynamic benefit of R&D is equalized with that of capital investment, the economy embarks on R&D for innovation. As a result, the economy will evolve along an innovation-oriented balanced growth path where consumption, physical capital and technology all grow, fossil energy consumptions decline, and environmental quality improves.

description: China needs to reduce its carbon emissions if global climate change mitigation is to succeed. Conventional economic analysis views cutting emissions as a cost, creating a collective action problem. However, decarbonization can improve productivity and provide co-benefits that accord with multiple national policy objectives. We track China’s progress in reducing the emissions intensity of the economy, and construct a macro scenario with China’s carbon emissions peaking in the 2020s. Investment in greater energy productivity and economic restructuring away from heavy industries can bring productivity gains, and decarbonization of energy supply has important co-benefits for air pollution and energy security. Combined with lower climate change risks and the likelihood that China’s actions will influence other countries, this suggests that cutting carbon emissions is not only in China’s self-interest but also in the global interest. To properly identify the true costs and benefits of climate change action requires new thinking in economic analysis.
On the weak Deligne-Simpson problem for index of rigidity 2

description: We consider the weak version of the Deligne-Simpson problem: give necessary and sufficient conditions upon the conjugacy classes $c_j\subset gl(n,{\bf C})$ (resp. $C_j\subset GL(n,{\bf C})$) so that there exist $(p+1)$-tuples of matrices $A_j\in c_j$, $A_1+... +A_{p+1}=0$ (resp. $M_1... M_{p+1}=I$) with trivial centralizers (i.e. reduced to scalars). The true Deligne-Simpson problem requires irreducibility instead of triviality of the centralizer. When the eigenvalues are generic, a Criterium on the Jordan normal forms defined by the conjugacy classes gives the necessary and sufficient conditions for solvability of the true problem. For index of rigidity 2 (i.e. when the sum of the dimensions of the conjugacy classes equals $2n^2-2$) we show that for a sufficiently large class of $(p+1)$-tuples of conjugacy classes the answer to the weak problem is negative. These conjugacy classes define Jordan normal forms that satisfy the Criterium.

description: The idea of the Pythagorean fuzzy hypersoft set is a generalization of the intuitionistic fuzzy hypersoft set, which is used to express insufficient evaluation, uncertainty, and anxiety in decision-making. Compared with the intuitionistic fuzzy hypersoft set, the Pythagorean fuzzy hypersoft set can accommodate more uncertainty, which is the most important strategy for analyzing fuzzy information in the decision-making process. The most important determination of the present research is to perform basic operations under the Pythagorean fuzzy hypersoft set (PFHSS) with their mandatory properties. In it, we establish logical operators and propose the idea of necessity and possibility operations under PFHSS. In the following research under PFHSS, some desirable properties are proposed by using the proposed operations. We also introduce the correlation coefficient under the PFHSS structure and develop an algorithm for decision-making by using the developed correlation coefficient. Furthermore, a case study on decision-making difficulties proves the application of the proposed algorithm. Finally, a comparative analysis with the advantages, effectiveness, flexibility, and numerous existing studies demonstrates this method's effectiveness.
title: Testing an Integrated Unfairness Framework of Radicalisation: How unfairness grievances, outgroup threat and moral disengagement contribute to right-wing extremism in Australia

description: Right-wing extremism (RWE) is motivated by myriad factors and ideologies, including neo-fascism, white nationalism and anti-immigrant sentiments (Dean, Bell & Vakhitov, 2016). Globally, the threat of right-wing terrorism is rising, with many indicators and intelligence agencies reporting a substantial rise in the number of RWE attacks over recent years in Western countries (Global Terrorism Index, 2019; ASIO, 2023). In addition to acts of terrorism based on far-right ideology, RWE poses a wider threat to society through hate crime, discrimination and the potential for largescale violent protest. While RWE has increased across much of the western world, empirical knowledge about RWE beliefs and behaviours remains limited. The goal of my thesis was to understand driving factors behind support for RWE, and risk factors that highlight the potential for violent extremism. In this thesis, I proposed and tested an original framework for explaining the psychological drivers of RWE ideology in Australia. This framework was adapted from Van den Bos' (2018) Growing Radicalisation Model, but it extends his framework in important ways. I call my original framework the Integrated Unfairness Framework of Radicalisation. In short, my Unfairness Framework posited that perceptions of unfairness (incorporating factors such as procedural unfairness, distributive unfairness, and immorality) drive cognitive support for RWE. My framework proposed that the unfairness and support for RWE relationship is exacerbated by perceptions of outgroup threat and feelings of uncertainty, and that moral disengagement can signal and explain a shift from cognitive extremism to behavioural extremism. Moral disengagement refers to being cognitively disengaged from a particular person or group and precedes the decision to engage in immoral behaviour (Bandura, 1986). [...]

description: A Bayesian inferential approach with a noninformative prior is introduced to analyze ordinal repeatability and reproducibility (R&R) data using the De Mast–Van Wieringen model. This approach is extended with a weakly informative prior and random effects to allow for the consideration of a population of raters and prediction of a new rater. This random-effects approach is also shown to result in partial pooling of estimates across raters. In addition, match-probability-based measures to decompose ordinal R&R study data into contributions due to repeatability and due to reproducibility are defined. All extensions involving Bayesian inference (for fixed or random effects) and measures are illustrated on real and simulated ordinal R&R study data and are applicable in business and industry settings. This methodology can be implemented using the supplemental R package ordinalRR available from CRAN. Additional supplementary material for this article is available online.

description: In this paper, the set of all physical theories is represented by a countable subset of the lattice of consequence operators defined on a language L. It is established that there exists a unifying injection U defined on the set of significant representations for natural-systems M. If W is a member of M, then U selects an ultralogic C such that C(*W) restricted to L is a unification for the set of all physical theories as each is applied to W. There also exists a standard injection S that for each W in M selects a standard unifying consequence operator D, where C(*W) is a subset of *D(*W). It is also shown how to use these unifying operators and obtain a product operator that has the same effect but, in a practical sense, this operator is applied to every natural-system within our universe simultaneously.

description: In this talk, I provide an overview of the promise and perils of the smart city, linking these to broader-scale technological changes occurring at global to local scales. I then focus on the criticism that many elements of smart cities—for example, increased surveillance or algorithmic bias—may create or magnify societal and spatial inequalities. The heart of the talk engages with one specific component of the smart city-inequality debate: how and for whom knowledge is produced within cities, with a focus on sensor placement, coverage gaps, and uncertainty variability. A case study for Newcastle (UK) is presented to help illustrate the issues. In concluding, I highlight the importance of this aspect of smart city inequality, especially with regard to public health and policy efficacy.

description: Understanding companies’ preferences for various domestic policy instruments is crucial to designing and planning Sectoral Market Mechanism (SMM) in China. Based on a detailed overview of domestic policy instruments under SMM, this paper evaluates corporate preferences for diverse domestic policy instruments and identifies potential influencing factors through econometric analysis. The data were collected from 113 respondents in all 11 prefecture-level cities of Shanxi province, China. Regarding policy instruments under the system of government receiving tradable units, corporate energy saving potential, learning capacity and companies’ characteristics have shown significant influences on companies’ preferences. Dissemination and the popularization of knowledge are also important to help companies learn how to improve energy efficiency. In terms of policy measures with voluntary installation-level targets, corporate competition level, organizational size and ownership are the main factors influencing companies’ preferences. Reducing inequality in the distribution of responsibility is especially important to gain companies’ support. Under the policy with mandatory installation-level targets, it suggests that policymakers should focus on status of energy use management and internationalization orientation. Policy instruments familiar to companies that are able to relieve corporate financial pressures might be good options to gain higher acceptance. Moreover, our results show that it is very important to choose an issuance frequency of one to three years under sectoral crediting.
Slowly decaying tails of massive scalar fields in spherically symmetric spacetimes

description: We study the dominant late-time behaviors of massive scalar fields in static and spherically symmetric spacetimes. Considering the field evolution in the far zone where the gravitational field is weak, we show under which conditions the massive field oscillates with an amplitude that decays slowly as $t^{-5/6}$ at very late times, as previously found in (say) the Schwarzschild case. Our conclusion is that this long-lived oscillating tail is generally observed at timelike infinity in black hole spacetimes, while it may not be able to survive if the central object is a normal star. We also discuss that such a remarkable backscattering effect is absent for the field near the null cone at larger spatial distances.

description: Spins associated to single defects in solids provide promising qubits for quantum information processing and quantum networks. Recent experiments have demonstrated long coherence times, high-fidelity operations and long-range entanglement. However, control has so far been limited to a few qubits, with entangled states of three spins demonstrated. Realizing larger multi-qubit registers is challenging due to the need for quantum gates that avoid crosstalk and protect the coherence of the complete register. In this paper, we present novel decoherence-protected gates that combine dynamical decoupling of an electron spin with selective phase-controlled driving of nuclear spins. We use these gates to realize a 10-qubit quantum register consisting of the electron spin of a nitrogen-vacancy center and 9 nuclear spins in diamond. We show that the register is fully connected by generating entanglement between all 45 possible qubit pairs, and realize genuine multipartite entangled states with up to 7 qubits. Finally, we investigate the register as a multi-qubit memory. We show coherence times up to 63(2) seconds - the longest reported for a single solid-state qubit - and demonstrate that two-qubit entangled states can be stored for over 10 seconds. Our results enable the control of large quantum registers with long coherence times and therefore open the door to advanced quantum algorithms and quantum networks with solid-state spin qubits.

The costs of error in setting reference rates for reduced deforestation

description: To measure the deforestation reduced by a policy, we need to compare deforestation rates under a policy with deforestation rates in the absence of policy. Unfortunately the deforestation rate in the absence of a policy, or reference rate, is ex ante difficult to forecast and ex post impossible to observe. This means that reference rates will be set with error and we will not know how large the error will be. The challenging nature of setting reference rates is reflected in the number of proposals for reference rate design. In this paper I show how these proposals ignore forecast error. As a consequence, these proposals have basic structural weaknesses that increase the costs of reduced deforestation policy. I propose that a criteria for reference rates is to minimise the cost of forecast error. These ideas are illustrated with a cross country dataset on agricultural expansion. I show that the best forecasting model differs by country and that a country’s best forecasting model can be very simple.

Universality of Fedosov's Construction for Star Products of Wick Type on Pseudo-Kähler Manilfolds

description: In this paper we construct star products on a pseudo-Kähler manifold $(M,ω,I)$ using a modification of the Fedosov method based on a different fibrewise product similar to the Wick product on $\mathbb C^n$. In a first step we show that this construction is rich enough to obtain star products of every equivalence class by computing Deligne's characteristic class of these products. Among these products we uniquely characterize the ones which have the additional property to be of Wick type which means that the bidifferential operators describing the star products only differentiate with respect to holomorphic directions in the first argument and anti-holomorphic directions in the second argument. These star products are in fact strongly related to star products with separation of variables introduced and studied by Karabegov. This characterization gives rise to special conditions on the data that enter the Fedosov procedure. Moreover, we compare our results that are based on an obviously coordinate independent construction to those of Karabegov that were obtained by local considerations and give an independent proof of the fact that star products of Wick type are in bijection to formal series of closed two-forms of type $(1,1)$ on $M$. Using this result we finally succeed in showing that the given Fedosov construction is universal in the sense that it yields all star products of Wick type on a pseudo-Kähler manifold.

description: We examine the key factors driving change in energy use globally over the past four decades. Our econometric approach is robust to the presence of unit roots, unobserved time effects, and spatial effects. We test for both strong decoupling where economic growth has less effect on energy use as income increases, and weak decoupling where energy use declines over time in richer countries, ceteris paribus. Our key findings are that the growth of per capita energy use has been primarily driven by economic growth, convergence in energy intensity and weak decoupling. There is no sign of strong decoupling.

description: Large companies need to monitor various metrics (for example, Page Views and Revenue) of their applications and services in real time. At Microsoft, we develop a time-series anomaly detection service which helps customers to monitor the time-series continuously and alert for potential incidents on time. In this paper, we introduce the pipeline and algorithm of our anomaly detection service, which is designed to be accurate, efficient and general. The pipeline consists of three major modules, including data ingestion, experimentation platform and online compute. To tackle the problem of time-series anomaly detection, we propose a novel algorithm based on Spectral Residual (SR) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Our work is the first attempt to borrow the SR model from visual saliency detection domain to time-series anomaly detection. Moreover, we innovatively combine SR and CNN together to improve the performance of SR model. Our approach achieves superior experimental results compared with state-of-the-art baselines on both public datasets and Microsoft production data.

description: Drawing on the real-options theory we analyse bidding behaviour in a sealed-bid-first-score procurement auction where suppliers, facing variable production costs, must simultaneously report the contract price and the cost level at which they intend to perform the project. We show that this award mechanism is potentially able to maximize total welfare. Next we look at the time incentives required to ensure compliance with the promised optimal trigger value. We show that ex-post efficiency may call for delay penalties higher than the anticipated harm caused by time overruns, in so doing questioning the efficiency rationale of existing liquidated damages rules.

description: We estimate the relationship between urban spatial expansion and its socio-economic determinants in Lombardy, the most urbanised region of Italy (and one of the most urbanized of the European Union), at the municipality level. Test results suggest that this relationship varies significantly among municipalities of different size and findings support the hypothesis that larger ones are more efficient in managing land take. In particular, we find that the marginal land consumption per new household is inversely related to the size of the municipality and we link this evidence to the fact that, since more space is often available, small municipalities pay less institutional attention to the issue of land take and consequently internalise less the environmental externalities. This evidence calls for a reflection on the role of planning policies and the effectiveness of undifferentiated measures to contain land take, especially in the case of Italy, where the municipalities, more than 99% of which have less than 50,000 inhabitants, decide on land use transformations.
