description: The origins of the high-energy cosmic neutrino flux remain largely unknown. Recently, one high-energy neutrino was associated with a tidal disruption event (TDE). Here we present AT2019fdr, an exceptionally luminous TDE candidate, coincident with another high-energy neutrino. Our observations, including a bright dust echo and soft late-time X-ray emission, further support a TDE origin of this flare. The probability of finding two such bright events by chance is just 0.034%. We evaluate several models for neutrino production and show that AT2019fdr is capable of producing the observed high-energy neutrino, reinforcing the case for TDEs as neutrino sources.

description: This thesis investigated how mental health service users view the involvement of family members in their treatment and care and how this links to experience. Results identified new evidence for the positive but varied nature of family involvement. The findings promote a call for clinicians to provide flexibility in implementation of family involvement and routinely invite service user opinion at treatment outset.
title: Decentralization and Governance Performance in Ethnically Diverse States. The Case of Sub-Saharan Africa
Creators: name: Egwu, Vitus Ikenna
Publisher: name: UNSPECIFIED
Year: 2022

description: Decentralization theorists are of the view that decentralization improves governance by bequeathing citizens with numerous points of access to participate in governance, which, in turn, improves governance by enhancing allocative and productive efficiencies. But practice shows otherwise, namely: that decentralization does not always produce positive effect on governance. This fluctuation in the relationship between decentralization and governance raises an important question: “why does variation in governance performance exist in decentralized countries?” In other words, “Why does decentralization increase the performance of governance more significantly in some countries than in others?”. I address this question in this research. By combining some classical theories of behavior with the implications of Ekeh’s Theory of the Two Publics, I argue that ethnic diversity (a dimension of social networks and groupings), under the preconditions of democracy and postcolonialism, represents one of the social structures upon which the governance outcome of decentralization depends; and that this dependence occurs through the negative impact of ethnic diversity on the citizens’ behavior toward accountability. In addition, I also contend that another variable, which I call “state-exploiting mentality” (SEM), exits as a mechanism between ethnic diversity and citizens’ negative accountability behavior (NAB). These contentions of mine are subjected to an empirical test in sub-Saharan Africa, using a quantitative cross-country study, and data from Mo Ibrahim Index of African Governance, Afrobarometer, and Ethnic Fractionalization Index. In line with my theoretical propositions, the findings support a mediational model between ethnic diversity, SEM, NAB, and governance performance, revealing that ethnic diversity predicts a positive effect on SEM, SEM a positive effect on NAB, and NAB a negative effect on governance performance. This result not only contributes to scientific answer as to why some countries do not benefit from decentralization, it also highlights two new areas to focus on when trying to address the problematics around governance and development in sub-Saharan Africa.

description: The realization of the coexistence of various topologically nontrivial surface states in one material is expected to lay a foundation for new electric applications with selective robust spin current. Here we apply the magnetoconductivity characteristic and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) to visualize the surface-selected electronic features evolution of quasi-one-dimensional material Bi4Br4. The transport measurements indicate the quantum interference correction to conductivity possesses symbolic spin rotational characteristic correlated to the value of Berry phase with the effects of weak localization and weak antilocalization for (001) and (100) surfaces, respectively. The ARPES spectra provide the experimental evidence for quasi-one-dimensional massless Dirac surface state at the side (100) surface and anisotropic massive Dirac surface state at the top (001) surface, respectively, which is highly coincide with the angle-dependent scaling behavior of magnetoconductivity. Our results reveal the facet dependent topological phases in quasi-one-dimensional Bi4Br4, stimulating the further investigations of this dual topology classes and the applications of the feasible technologies of topological spintronics.

description: We define $G$-cospectrality of two $G$-gain graphs $(Γ,ψ)$ and $(Γ',ψ')$, proving that it is a switching isomorphism invariant. When $G$ is a finite group, we prove that $G$-cospectrality is equivalent to cospectrality with respect to all unitary representations of $G$. Moreover, we show that two connected gain graphs are switching equivalent if and only if the gains of their closed walks centered at an arbitrary vertex $v$ can be simultaneously conjugated. In particular, the number of switching equivalence classes on an underlying graph $Γ$ with $n$ vertices and $m$ edges, is equal to the number of simultaneous conjugacy classes of the group $G^{m-n+1}$. We provide examples of $G$-cospectral non-switching isomorphic graphs and we prove that any gain graph on a cycle is determined by its $G$-spectrum. Moreover, we show that when $G$ is a finite cyclic group, the cospectrality with respect to a faithful irreducible representation implies the cospectrality with respect to any other faithful irreducible representation, and that the same assertion is false in general.

Environment effects on X-ray absorption spectra with quantum embedded real-time Time-dependent density functional theory approaches

description: In this work we implement the real-time time-dependent block-orthogonalized Manby-Miller embedding (rt-BOMME) approach alongside our previously developed real-time frozen density embedding time-dependent density functional theory (rt-TDDFT-in-DFT FDE) code, and investigate these methods' performance in reproducing X-ray absorption spectra (XAS) obtained with standard rt-TDDFT simulations, for model systems comprised of solvated fluoride and chloride ions ([X@(H$_2$O)$_8$]$^-$, X = F, Cl). We observe that, for ground-state quantities such as core orbital energies, the BOMME approach shows significantly better agreement with supermolecular results than FDE for the strongly interacting fluoride system, while for chloride the two embedding approaches show more similar results. For the excited states, we see that while FDE (constrained not to have the environment densities relaxed in the ground state) is in good agreement with the reference calculations for the region around the K and L$_1$ edge, and is capable of reproducing the splitting of the $\mathrm{1s^{1} (n+1)p^1}$ final states ($n+1$ being the lowest virtual p orbital of the halides), it by and large fails to properly reproduce the $\mathrm{1s^{1} (n+2)p{^1}}$ states and misses the electronic states arising from excitation to orbitals with important contributions from the solvent. The BOMME results, on the other hand, provide a faithful qualitative representation of the spectra in all energy regions considered, though its intrinsic approximation of employing a lower-accuracy exchange-correlation functional for the environment induces non-negligible shifts in peak positions for the excitations from the halide to the environment. Our results thus confirm that QM/QM embedding approaches are viable alternatives to standard real-time simulations of X-ray absorption spectra of species in complex or confined environments.

description: We explore the linearly quantised primordial power spectra associated with palindromic universes. Extending the results of Lasenby et al. [1] and Bartlett et al. [2], we improve the modelling of recombination and include higher orders in the photonic Boltzmann hierarchy. In so doing, we find that the predicted power spectra become largely consistent with observational data. The improved recombination modelling involves developing further techniques for dealing with the future conformal boundary, by integrating the associated perturbation equations both forwards and backwards in conformal time. The resulting wavevector quantisation gives a lowest allowed wavenumber ${k_0 = 9.93 \times 10^{-5} \textrm{Mpc}^{-1}}$ and linear spacing ${Δk = 1.63 \times 10^{-4} \textrm{Mpc}^{-1}}$, providing fits consistent with observational data equivalent in quality to the $Λ$CDM model.

description: Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs) have been increasingly common in Australia and internationally since the 1980s. Yet despite their common usage PPPs have generally not been popular with academic authors. Using public policy and political science lenses, this thesis examines why it is that governments use the model. Part One considers the policy settings, and wider policy environment, for PPPs. Part Two looks at two major theories - behavioural science and agency theory - in an attempt to explain the PPP model through these lenses. In Part Three qualitative and quantitative research with PPP decision makers is reported on and analysed.

description: We consider a Brownian particle with diffusion coefficient $D$ in a $d$-dimensional ball of radius $R$ with reflecting boundaries. We study the maximum $M_x(t)$ of the trajectory of the particle along the $x$-direction at time $t$. In the long time limit, the maximum converges to the radius of the ball $M_x(t) \to R$ for $t\to \infty$. We investigate how this limit is approached and obtain an exact analytical expression for the distribution of the fluctuations $Δ(t) = [R-M_x(t)]/R$ in the limit of large $t$ in all dimensions. We find that the distribution of $Δ(t)$ exhibits a rich variety of behaviors depending on the dimension $d$. These results are obtained by establishing a connection between this problem and the narrow escape time problem. We apply our results in $d=2$ to study the convex hull of the trajectory of the particle in a disk of radius $R$ with reflecting boundaries. We find that the mean perimeter $\langle L(t)\rangle$ of the convex hull exhibits a slow convergence towards the perimeter of the circle $2πR$ with a stretched exponential decay $2πR-\langle L(t)\rangle \propto \sqrt{R}(Dt)^{1/4} \,e^{-2\sqrt{2Dt}/R}$. Finally, we generalise our results to other confining geometries, such as the ellipse with reflecting boundaries. Our results are corroborated by thorough numerical simulations.

description: Non-analytic points in the return probability of a quantum state as a function of time, known as dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs), have received great attention in recent years, but the understanding of their mechanism is still incomplete. In our recent work arXiv:2008.04894, we demonstrated that one-dimensional DQPTs can be produced by two distinct mechanisms, namely semiclassical precession and entanglement generation, leading to the definition of precession (pDQPTs) and entanglement (eDQPTs) dynamical quantum phase transitions. In this manuscript we extend and investigate the notion of p- and eDQPTs in two-dimensional systems by considering semi-infinite ladders of varying width. For square lattices, we find that pDQPTs and eDQPTs persist and are characterized by similar phenomenology as in 1D: pDQPTs are associated with a magnetization sign change and a wide entanglement gap, while eDQPTs correspond to suppressed local observables and avoided crossings in the entanglement spectrum. However, DQPTs show higher sensitivity to the ladder width and other details, challenging the extrapolation to the thermodynamic limit especially for eDQPTs. Moving to honeycomb lattices, we also demonstrate that lattices with odd number of nearest neighbors give rise to phenomenologies beyond the one-dimensional classification.

The formation of dipolar vortex structures and their dynamical evolution, as well as, the emergence of chaos in the wave-wave interactions are studied both in presence and absence of the Pedersen conductivity. The latter is shown to inhibit the formation of solitary vortices and the onset of chaos.

This thesis records the development of novel methods to assess how materials are internalised into live cells. This includes a machine learning approach to identify internalised material in images of cells without requiring specialised sensors, and the use of gene editing to create tools for use in studying the pathways used by materials to enter the cell.

description: Real-time robot motion planning in complex high-dimensional environments remains an open problem. Motion planning algorithms, and their underlying collision checkers, are crucial to any robot control stack. Collision checking takes up a large portion of the computational time in robot motion planning. Existing collision checkers make trade-offs between speed and accuracy and scale poorly to high-dimensional, complex environments. We present a novel space decomposition method using K-Means clustering in the Forward Kinematics space to accelerate proxy collision checking. We train individual configuration space models using Fastron, a kernel perceptron algorithm, on these decomposed subspaces, yielding compact yet highly accurate models that can be queried rapidly and scale better to more complex environments. We demonstrate this new method, called Decomposed Fast Perceptron (D-Fastron), on the 7-DOF Baxter robot producing on average 29x faster collision checks and up to 9.8x faster motion planning compared to state-of-the-art geometric collision checkers.

description: This article examines settler militarism and how it is mobilized through affective practices that ultimately bolster the settler colonial project. With this intent, it develops the concept of ‘militarized atmosphere’ defined as a staged environment where war is positioned outside politics and critical scrutiny through a series of affective manoeuvres and aesthetics. A militarized atmosphere operates through military aesthetics to attune people’s bodies to a position of uncritical validation of a given discourse of war. This article argues that a militarized atmosphere crucially sustains the settler colonial project by removing or reducing contestation around the theme of war, which is a pillar of settler colonialism. In settler societies, numerous Indigenous individuals perceive themselves as embattled and seek acknowledgement of the history and legacy of colonial violence and warfare. In contrast, settler governments have a vested interest in concealing this history and its enduring legacy, and they do so by exalting military warfare as the foundation of the modern nation and creating affective attachments to the military. The article uses the case of Australia to elucidate the argument. It examines how the aesthetics of war commemoration at the Dawn Service, Australia’s major commemorative event, contributes to producing a militarized atmosphere that sustains the Australian settler colonial project. It proposes a framework that links the feminist concept of affective militarism to settler colonialism and contributes to the emerging literature on settler colonialism and militarism.

description: Large excursion of the inflaton field can trigger interesting dynamics. One important example is a first-order phase transition in a spectator sector which couples to the inflaton. Gravitational waves (GWs) from such a first-order phase transition during inflation, an example of an instantaneous source, have an oscillatory feature. In this work, we show that this feature is generic for a source in an era of accelerated expansion. We also demonstrate that the shape of the GW signal contains information about the evolution of the early universe following the phase transition. In particular, the slope of the infrared part of the GW spectrum is sensitive to the evolution of the Hubble parameter when the GW modes reenter the horizon after inflation. The slope of the profile of the intermediate oscillatory part and the ultraviolet part of the GW spectrum depend on the evolution of the Hubble parameter when the modes exit horizon during the inflation and when they reenter the horizon during the reheating. The ultraviolet spectrum also depends on the details of the dynamics of the phase transition. We consider the GW signal in several models of evolution during and after inflation, and compare them with the minimal scenario of quasi-de Sitter inflation followed by radiation domination after a fast reheating, and demonstrate that the shape of the GW can be used to distinguish them. In this way, the GW signal considered in this paper offers a powerful probe to the dynamics of the early universe which is otherwise difficult to explore directly through CMB, large scale structure, big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN), and other well-studied cosmological observables.

description: While global quantum quench has been extensively used in the literature to understand the localization-delocalization transition for the one-dimensional quantum spin chain, the effect of geometric quench (which corresponds to a sudden change of the geometry of the chain) in the context of such transitions is yet to be well understood. In this work, we investigate the effect of geometric quench in the Aubry-Andre model, which supports localization-delocalization transition even in one dimension. We study the spreading of the entanglement and the site-occupation with time and find many interesting features that can be used to characterize localization-delocalization transition. We observe that geometric quench causes a power-law type growth of the entanglement entropy in the delocalized phase in contrast to the linear growth which is found in the global quench studies. Remarkably, we also find that the saturation values in the Many-body localized (MBL) phase obey Area law in contrast to the usual volume law which is a signature feature of the MBL phase in the context of global quench.

description: The evolution of a two-phase, air and unsaturated water vapor, time decaying, shearless, turbulent layer has been studied in the presence of both stable and unstable perturbations of the normal temperature lapse rate. The top interface between a warm vapor cloud and clear air in the absence of water droplets was considered as the reference dynamics. Direct, 3D numerical simulations were performed within a 6m x 6m wide and 12m high cloud portion, which was hypothesized to be located close to an interface between the warm cloud and clear air. The Taylor micro-scale Reynolds' number was 250 inside the cloud portion. The squared Froude's number varied over intervals of [0.4; 1038.5] and [-4.2; -20.8]. A sufficiently intense stratification was observed to change the mixing dynamics. The formation of a sub-layer inside the shearless layer was observed. The sub-layer, under a stable thermal stratification condition, behaved like a pit of kinetic energy. On the other hand, it was observed that kinetic energy transient growth took place under unstable conditions, which led to the formation of an energy peak just below the center of the shearless layer. The scaling law of the energy time variation inside the interface region was quantified: this is an algebraic law with an exponent that depends on the perturbation stratification intensity. The presence of an unstable stratification increased the differences in statistical behavior among the longitudinal velocity derivatives, compared with the unstratified case. Since the mixing process is suppressed in stable cases, small-scale anisotropy is also supressed.

Based on the Gallium-Germanium Neutrino Telescope (GGNT) technology of the SAGE experiment, BEST employs two zones of liquid Ga target to explore neutrino oscillations on the meter scale. Oscillations on this short scale could produce deficits in the $^{71}$Ge production rates within the two zones, as well as a possible rate difference between the zones. From July 5th to October 13th 2019, the two-zone target was exposed to a primarily monoenergetic, 3.4-MCi $^{51}$Cr neutrino source 10 times for a total of 20 independent $^{71}$Ge extractions from the two Ga targets. The $^{71}$Ge production rates from the neutrino source were measured from July 2019 to March 2020. At the end of these measurements, the counters were filled with $^{71}$Ge doped gas and calibrated during November 2020. In this paper, results from the BEST sterile neutrino oscillation experiment are presented in details. The ratio of the measured $^{71}$Ge production rates to the predicted rates for the inner and the outer target volumes are calculated from the known neutrino capture cross section. Comparable deficits in the measured ratios relative to predicted values are found for both zones, with the $4 σ$ deviations from unity consistent with the previously reported gallium anomaly. If interpreted in the context of neutrino oscillations, the deficits give best fit oscillation parameters of $Δm^2=3.3^{+\infty}_{-2.3}$ eV$^2$ and sin$^2 2θ=0.42^{+0.15}_{-0.17}$, consistent with $ν_e \rightarrow ν_s$ oscillations governed by a surprisingly large mixing angle.

description: We consider the gauged $B-L$ model which is extended with a secluded dark sector, comprising of two dark sector particles. In this framework the lightest $\mathcal{Z}_2$-odd particle is the dark matter candidate, having a feeble interaction with all other SM and BSM states. The next-to-lightest $\mathcal{Z}_2$-odd particle in the dark sector is a super-wimp, with large interaction strength with the SM and BSM states. We analyse all the relevant production processes that contribute to the dark matter relic abundance, and broadly classify them in two different scenarios, a) dark matter is primarily produced via the non-thermal production process, b) dark matter is produced mostly from the late decay of the next-to-lightest $\mathcal{Z}_2$-odd particle. We discuss the dependency of the relic abundance of the dark matter on various model parameters. Furthermore, we also analyse the discovery prospect of the BSM Higgs via invisible Higgs decay searches.

description: Digital mathematical libraries assemble the knowledge of years of mathematical research. Numerous disciplines (e.g., physics, engineering, pure and applied mathematics) rely heavily on compendia gathered findings. Likewise, modern research applications rely more and more on computational solutions, which are often calculated and verified by computer algebra systems. Hence, the correctness, accuracy, and reliability of both digital mathematical libraries and computer algebra systems is a crucial attribute for modern research. In this paper, we present a novel approach to verify a digital mathematical library and two computer algebra systems with one another by converting mathematical expressions from one system to the other. We use our previously eveloped conversion tool (referred to as LaCASt) to translate formulae from the NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions to the computer algebra systems Maple and Mathematica. The contributions of our presented work are as follows: (1) we present the most comprehensive verification of computer algebra systems and digital mathematical libraries with one another; (2) we significantly enhance the performance of the underlying translator in terms of coverage and accuracy; and (3) we provide open access to translations for Maple and Mathematica of the formulae in the NIST Digital Library of Mathematical Functions.

description: Deep learning-based methods in computational microscopy have been shown to be powerful but in general face some challenges due to limited generalization to new types of samples and requirements for large and diverse training data. Here, we demonstrate a few-shot transfer learning method that helps a holographic image reconstruction deep neural network rapidly generalize to new types of samples using small datasets. We pre-trained a convolutional recurrent neural network on a large dataset with diverse types of samples, which serves as the backbone model. By fixing the recurrent blocks and transferring the rest of the convolutional blocks of the pre-trained model, we reduced the number of trainable parameters by ~90% compared with standard transfer learning, while achieving equivalent generalization. We validated the effectiveness of this approach by successfully generalizing to new types of samples using small holographic datasets for training, and achieved (i) ~2.5-fold convergence speed acceleration, (ii) ~20% computation time reduction per epoch, and (iii) improved reconstruction performance over baseline network models trained from scratch. This few-shot transfer learning approach can potentially be applied in other microscopic imaging methods, helping to generalize to new types of samples without the need for extensive training time and data.

description: Two-dimensional (2D) materials like graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides have unique properties due to their atomic thinness, making them promising candidates for advanced electronics. My research explores how stacking these materials with different twists and mismatches creates new physics that is not available in the individual layers. By using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and piezoresponse force microscopy techniques, I studied twisted bilayer tungsten diselenide and graphene on black phosphorus. I found that changing the twist angle can tune electronic properties, potentially enabling new quantum effects and lossless charge transport. This work offers insights for designing future nano-devices and technologies.

Head and eye egocentric gesture recognition for human-robot interaction using eyewear cameras

description: Non-verbal communication plays a particularly important role in a wide range of scenarios in Human-Robot Interaction (HRI). Accordingly, this work addresses the problem of human gesture recognition. In particular, we focus on head and eye gestures, and adopt an egocentric (first-person) perspective using eyewear cameras. We argue that this egocentric view may offer a number of conceptual and technical benefits over scene- or robot-centric perspectives. A motion-based recognition approach is proposed, which operates at two temporal granularities. Locally, frame-to-frame homographies are estimated with a convolutional neural network (CNN). The output of this CNN is input to a long short-term memory (LSTM) to capture longer-term temporal visual relationships, which are relevant to characterize gestures. Regarding the configuration of the network architecture, one particularly interesting finding is that using the output of an internal layer of the homography CNN increases the recognition rate with respect to using the homography matrix itself. While this work focuses on action recognition, and no robot or user study has been conducted yet, the system has been designed to meet real-time constraints. The encouraging results suggest that the proposed egocentric perspective is viable, and this proof-of-concept work provides novel and useful contributions to the exciting area of HRI.
