description: Using the spherical collapse approach, we investigate the impact of two alternative dark matter models, each characterized by distinct non-zero equations of state, one constant and the other time dependent on the nonlinear regime. Specifically, we compare these models to standard cold dark matter (CDM) by analyzing their influence on the linear density threshold for nonrelativistic component collapse and virial overdensity. Additionally, we explore the number count of collapsed objects, or dark matter halos, analogous to the number count of galaxy clusters. Finally, in light of recent discoveries by the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), indicating the potential for more efficient early galaxy formation at higher redshifts, we investigate how alternative dark matter assumptions can enhance structure formation efficiency during the early universe.

description: A two-dimensional spin-1/2 trilayer magnetic system with quenched non-magnetic impurity is studied. The lattice is formed by alternate layers of two different theoretical atoms A and B arranged in a particular fashion A-B-A. The compensation point appears below the critical temperature, for which total magnetization of the system becomes zero even though the sublattice magnetization has a nonzero value. For a range of values of the relative interaction strength in the Hamiltonian, a compensation point is observed. We considered the Ising mechanics and employed the Monte Carlo method to determine the compensation point and critical temperature of the system. However, the effects of impurity in such systems are still not well studied. With that in mind, we address the effects of random non-magnetic impurity in the trilayer system. We also investigate the lattice morphologies in the presence of compensation and dilution and finally obtain the three-dimensional phase diagram for selected Hamiltonian parameters and impurity concentration.

description: Estimating over-amplification of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) on invasive breast cancer (BC) is regarded as a significant predictive and prognostic marker. We propose a novel deep reinforcement learning (DRL) based model that treats immunohistochemical (IHC) scoring of HER2 as a sequential learning task. For a given image tile sampled from multi-resolution giga-pixel whole slide image (WSI), the model learns to sequentially identify some of the diagnostically relevant regions of interest (ROIs) by following a parameterized policy. The selected ROIs are processed by recurrent and residual convolution networks to learn the discriminative features for different HER2 scores and predict the next location, without requiring to process all the sub-image patches of a given tile for predicting the HER2 score, mimicking the histopathologist who would not usually analyze every part of the slide at the highest magnification. The proposed model incorporates a task-specific regularization term and inhibition of return mechanism to prevent the model from revisiting the previously attended locations. We evaluated our model on two IHC datasets: a publicly available dataset from the HER2 scoring challenge contest and another dataset consisting of WSIs of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumor sections stained with Glo1 marker. We demonstrate that the proposed model outperforms other methods based on state-of-the-art deep convolutional networks. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study using DRL for IHC scoring and could potentially lead to wider use of DRL in the domain of computational pathology reducing the computational burden of the analysis of large multigigapixel histology images.

How Chaotic is the Stadium Billiard? A Semiclassical Analysis
Creators: name: Tanner, Gregor
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The impression gained from the literature published to date is that the spectrum of the stadium billiard can be adequately described, semiclassically, by the Gutzwiller periodic orbit trace formula together with a modified treatment of the marginally stable family of bouncing ball orbits. I show that this belief is erroneous. The Gutzwiller trace formula is not applicable for the phase space dynamics near the bouncing ball orbits. Unstable periodic orbits close to the marginally stable family in phase space cannot be treated as isolated stationary phase points when approximating the trace of the Green function. Semiclassical contributions to the trace show an $\hbar$ - dependent transition from hard chaos to integrable behavior for trajectories approaching the bouncing ball orbits. A whole region in phase space surrounding the marginal stable family acts, semiclassically, like a stable island with boundaries being explicitly $\hbar$-dependent. The localized bouncing ball states found in the billiard derive from this semiclassically stable island. The bouncing ball orbits themselves, however, do not contribute to individual eigenvalues in the spectrum. An EBK-like quantization of the regular bouncing ball eigenstates in the stadium can be derived. The stadium billiard is thus an ideal model for studying the influence of almost regular dynamics near marginally stable boundaries on quantum mechanics.

description: A direct observational detection of gravitational waves - perhaps the most fundamental prediction of a theory of curved spacetime - looms close at hand. Stellar mass compact objects spiraling into supermassive black holes have received particular attention as sources of gravitational waves detectable by space-based gravitational wave observatories. A well-established approach models such an extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRI) as an adiabatic progression through a series of Kerr geodesics. Thus, the direct detection of gravitational radiation from EMRIs and the extraction of astrophysical information from those waveforms require a thorough knowledge of the underlying geodesic dynamics. This dissertation adopts a dynamical systems approach to the study of Kerr orbits, beginning with equatorial orbits. We deduce a topological taxonomy of orbits that hinges on a correspondence between periodic orbits and rational numbers. The taxonomy defines the entire dynamics, including aperiodic motion, since every orbit is in or near the periodic set. A remarkable implication of this periodic orbit taxonomy is that the simple precessing ellipse familiar from planetary orbits is not allowed in the strong-field regime. Instead, eccentric orbits trace out precessions of multi-leaf clovers in the final stages of inspiral. Furthermore, for any black hole, there is some orbital angular momentum value in the strong-field regime below which zoom-whirl behavior becomes unavoidable. We then generalize the taxonomy to help identify nonequatorial orbits whose radial and polar frequencies are rationally related, or in resonance. The thesis culminates by describing how those resonant orbits can be leveraged for an order of magnitude or more reduction in the computational cost of adiabatic order EMRI trajectories, which are so prohibitively expensive that no such relativistically correct inspirals have been generated to date.

description: Formal performance analysis is now regularly applied in the design of distributed embedded systems such as automotive electronics, where it greatly contributes to an improved predictability and platform robustness of complex networked systems. Even though it might be highly beneficial also in MpSoC design, formal performance analysis could not easily be applied so far, because the classical task communication model does not cover processor-memory traffic, which is an integral part of MpSoC timing. Introducing memory accesses as individual transactions under the classical model has shown to be inefficient, and previous approaches work well only under strict orthogonalization of different traffic streams. Recent research has presented extensions of the classical task model and a corresponding analysis that covers performance implications of shared memory traffic. In this paper we present a multithreaded multiprocessors platform and multimedia application. We conduct performance analysis using the new analysis options and specifically benchmark the quality of the available approach. Our experiments show that corner case coverage can now be supplied with a very high accuracy, allowing to quickly investigate architectural alternatives.

description: An experimental study was carried out to explore the possibility of using a prepared microporous material, Rice Husk Ash (RHA) as an alternative to the commercial Powdered Activated Carbon (PAC), to remove atrazine (ATZ) pesticide from aqueous solution. The effects of contact time and pH on the adsorption were studied using the batch technique. Based on Hückel model calculations, the zwitterion behaviour of atrazine molecule was proved to be related to the pH of zero charge point of adsorbents (6.8 for RHA and 8.2 for PAC). The results showed that the Pseudo Second Order model is applicable to both adsorbents, suggesting that chemisorption is the rate-limiting step. The equilibrium data fitted well with the Langmuir model in the case of RHA, whereas the Freundlich model better fitted the equilibrium data in the PAC case, suggesting the existence of multi-layer adsorption of atrazine. The adsorption for RHA was found to be feasible and spontaneous, with a removal capacity of atrazine of more than 7 mg g−1. With regard to the BET surface, this removal capacity (50.5 µgATZ / m²RHA) was 25% better than that PAC (37.75µgATZ / m²PAC).

description: In order to investigate corrections to the common KdV approximation to long waves, we derive modulation equations for the evolution of long wavelength initial data for a Boussinesq equation. The equations governing the corrections to the KdV approximation are explicitly solvable and we prove estimates showing that they do indeed give a significantly better approximation than the KdV equation alone. We also present the results of numerical experiments which show that the error estimates we derive are essentially optimal.

description: Knudsen Effusion Mass Spectrometry (KEMS) was used to find the solid state vapor pressures of a range of atmospherically relevant organic molecules from 298 K to 333 K. The selection of species analyzed allowed for the effect of structural isomerism, specifically positional isomerism, and stereoisomerism, specifically geometric isomerism, on solid state vapor pressure to be investigated. In addition, the effect of varying the number of carboxylic acid groups present within a molecule’s structure and of varying alkyl chain length was assessed. The solid state vapor pressures were converted to subcooled liquid vapor pressures using experimental heat of fusion and melting point values. The resulting subcooled liquid vapor pressures were found to be up to 7 orders of magnitude lower than the vapor pressures estimated from models. Some of this variation between experimentally determined subcooled liquid vapor pressures and predicted vapor pressures, which use group contribution methods, can be attributed to the effects of isomerism which are largely not taken into account in models. Whilst these techniques might have both structural and parametric uncertainties, of the compound classes tested, a general inverse relationship between melting point and solid state vapor pressure was observed. Within each compound class the variations in vapor pressure can be attributed to the number and size of functional groups present and the relative positions of those functional groups to each other both positionally and geometrically. These two factors impact upon both the molecules’ dipole moments and upon their ability to interact both intramolecularly and intermolecularly via hydrogen bonding, thus explaining the differences in observed vapor pressure. Partitioning calculations using a range of condensed mass loadings show that whilst using vapor pressure values derived from models would put most of the compounds in the vapor phase, using the experimental values obtained here would mean a significant fraction of the organic molecules would be in the condensed phase. This could have a significant impact upon the formation and nature of atmospheric aerosol, and comparisons with ambient data obtained from other mass spectrometry techniques during bonfire night in Manchester in 2016 are made in an attempt to assess this potential atmospheric importance.

description: African swine fever (ASF), which has caused significant losses in pig herds and severe economic ramifications, has emerged as a significant threat to the pork sector in recent years. The disease, which is currently affecting many parts of the world, is having a negative influence not only on the health and welfare of animals but also on biodiversity and farmer incomes. Feral (wild) pigs and farm-raised pigs are both susceptible. Although ASF cannot infect humans, it can spread easily from pig to pig through direct contact with bodily fluids from an infected animal. If pigs are given uncooked food waste that contains contaminated pork products, this technique may also lead to the virus spreading among the animals.
Amplitude equations and pattern selection in Faraday waves

description: We present a systematic nonlinear theory of pattern selection for parametric surface waves (Faraday waves), not restricted to fluids of low viscosity. A standing wave amplitude equation is derived from the Navier-Stokes equations that is of gradient form. The associated Lyapunov function is calculated for different regular patterns to determine the selected pattern near threshold. For fluids of large viscosity, the selected wave pattern consists of parallel stripes. At lower viscosity, patterns of square symmetry are obtained in the capillary regime (large frequencies). At lower frequencies (the mixed gravity-capillary regime), a sequence of six-fold (hexagonal), eight-fold, ... patterns are predicted. The regions of stability of the various patterns are in quantitative agreement with recent experiments conducted in large aspect ratio systems.

description: This dissertation was conceived as an addendum to two self-published catalogs that American artist Chris Burden released, covering the years 1971–1977. It looks in-depth at the formative work the artist produced in college and graduate school, including minimalist sculpture, interactive environments, and performance art. Burden’s work is herewith examined in four chapters, each of which treats one or more related works, dividing the artist’s early career into developmental stages. In light of a wealth of new information about Burden and the atmosphere in which he was working in the late 1960s and early 1970s, this dissertation examines the artist’s work in relation to West Coast Minimalism, the Light and Space Movement, Environments, and Institutional Critique, above and beyond his well-known contribution to performance art, which is also covered herein. The dissertation also analyzes the social contexts in which Burden worked as having informed his practice, from the beaches of Southern California, to rock festivals and student protest on campus, and eventually out to the countercultural communes. The studies contained in the individual chapters demonstrate that close readings of Burden’s work can open up to formal and art-historical trends, as well as social issues that can deepen our understanding of these and later works. Benefitting from access to the artist’s estate, as well as archives collected at various institutions in Southern California, this dissertation is the first authoritative coverage of Chris Burden’s early career.

description: The Coble cubics were discovered more than a century ago in connection with genus two Riemann surfaces and theta functions. They have attracted renewed interest ever since. Recently, they were reinterpreted in terms of alternating trivectors in nine variables. Exploring this relation further, we show how the Hilbert scheme of pairs of points on an abelian surface, and also its Kummer fourfold, a very remarkable hyper-Kähler manifold, can very naturally be constructed in this context. Moreover, we explain how this perspective allows us to describe the group law of an abelian surface, in a strikingly similar way to how the group structure of a plane cubic can be defined in terms of its intersection with lines.

Based on the geometric QSLs time bound, which is derived by employing the trace distance to quantify the geodesic between two distinguishable states in dynamical evolution, we study the influences of the temperature and spectral density of the environment on the QSLs time of the dephasing qubit. We also investigate the interplay between the QSLs time, the environmental temperature, and the spectral density of the environment. It has been demonstrated that, the QSLs time closely depends on the transition frequency and the dynamical behavior (e.g., coherence trapping) of the dephasing qubit. For a fixed Ohmicity parameter of the environmental spectral density, the increase of environmental temperature can enhance the QSLs time bound. In addition, when the environmental temperature remains constant, the increase in the Ohmicity parameter initially leads to a reduction in the QSLs time bound, which is then followed by an increase of the time bound of QSLs. Our results can help to better understand the QSLs in the dynamics of open quantum systems and have potential application in the modulation of QSLs time in the dephasing qubit by engineering the spectral density of the environment.

compacting compactifying sliding collector

description: Modern object oriented languages such as Java and C# have been gaining widespread industry support in recent times. Such languages rely on a runtime infrastructure that provides automatic dynamic memory management services. The performance of such services is a crucial component of overall system performance. This thesis discusses work undertaken in relation to automatic memory management using the Java Memory Management Toolkit (JMTk) running on the Jikes Research Virtual Machine (Jikes RVM). The primary goal of this work was to develop an automatic memory management strategy employing a compacting collector to run on this platform. Compacting collectors are an important class of collectors used in several production runtimes, including Microsoft's Common Language Runtime and IBM's Java Runtime Environment. The development of a strategy using compaction makes an important contribution to JMTk, and provides a platform where side-by-side comparisons between compacting collectors and other important classes of collector can be made. A compacting collector differs from the collectors that currently exist in JMTk in several important ways. Prior to this work, JMTk and Jikes RVM did not have an implementation of a compacting collector, nor the structure to fully support one. This work has achieved its primary goal in providing an implementation of a compacting collector. It describes how both JMTk and Jikes RVM were modified to support such collectors. Although substantial, this project should be considered but a first step into the investigation of this class of collectors. It is anticipated that through broadening the set of operations supported by JMTk and Jikes RVM that this work will also allow new classes of collectors to be implemented and compared. The cost of performing a compacting collection was shown to be very significant given the current implementation. The use of compaction in a generational collector demonstrated increased performance, bringing it in-line with other generational collectors in JMTk. This work shows that there are benefits in reducing memory fragmentation through the use of compacting collectors. When discounting the cost of the collection, the implemented compacting collectors come close to matching or outperforming other collection strategies. The difficulty now lies in attempting to reduce the cost of compacting collection.

description: This practice-led research project investigates ways to account for contemporary photographic practices that reside in the continuum between the representational and the abstract. As an inquiry with multiple entryways, it is an attempt to offer a language through which to describe and evaluate photography that is not easily situated in existing traditions. This thesis argues that photographs, which are difficult to locate through conventional readings, can call forth new ways of deciphering and translating our affective experience of everyday life and give voice to difference. This project is, therefore, also a generative contribution to the emergent literature on ordinary affects within the visual arts—a subject which has been more rigorously considered in literature, theatre, cinema, and philosophy. In offering new possibilities for thinking about contemporary photography, through analysing its technical means of production and the related conceptual implications, this research moves towards a better understanding of a photograph’s affective charge. As an interdisciplinary entanglement between philosophy, art theory, contemporary artworks, and a studio-based practice, this project does not seek to prove if something is true, but rather looks to challenge traditions, make new connections, and create lines of flight through unconventional assemblages. In drawing upon the work of Gilles Deleuze to map and contextualise the research findings, this thesis offers encounters that operate beyond representation to create new images of thought. Through examining the concepts of minor photography, the transnarrative televisual, and the baroque mise-en-scène, this research asserts the potential of expanded photographic practices to dismantle habits of perception and create alternative pathways for imagining the world.

description: We define a fragment of monadic infinitary second-order logic corresponding to an abstract separation property. We use this to define the concept of a separation subclass. We use model theoretic techniques and games to show that separation subclasses whose axiomatisations are recursively enumerable in our second-order fragment can also be recursively axiomatised in their original first-order language. We pin down the expressive power of this formalism with respect to first-order logic, and investigate some questions relating to decidability and computational complexity. As applications of these results, by showing that certain classes can be straightforwardly defined as separation subclasses, we obtain first-order axiomatisability results for these classes. In particular we apply this technique to graph colourings and a class of partial algebras arising from separation logic.

From Narrated Pathways to "Pastiche": Complexities in Interpreting and Representing Conversations with Italian American Teachers

description: This dissertation study focuses on the stories that five Italian American teachers tell about their pathways to the teaching profession. The overarching question of this study is: What happens when the researcher attempts to construct interpretations of how Italian American teachers in New York City describe their pathways to becoming teachers? This question is supplemented by the following related questions and subquestions: How, if at all, do the study participants describe their choices to become teachers within the framing concept of “pathways”? What other ways, if any, do the participants speak of their chosen careers? What framing concepts do they employ, if any, other than “pathways” toward their careers as teachers? How, if at all, do participants describe their “identities” as Italian American teachers within both the confines and the possibilities offered by the concept of pathways? What assumptions and biases does the researcher bring into this study that focuses on Italian American teachers’ descriptions and understandings of their career choices? To interrogate, interrupt, and ultimately respond to these research questions in this multicase study, the researcher conducted open-ended interviews with five Italian American teachers who have taught or currently teach in New York City schools, aiming to explore both personal and culturally relevant histories of these specific Italian American teachers. Using Laurel Richardson’s (2005) creative analytic practices, the researcher aimed to present representations of her own interpretations of the “stories” that these teachers would tell about their specific “pathways” to teaching as Italian American teachers in New York City. The researcher attempted to convey a sense of the multitude of factors that could influence one’s interpretation of “story” by (re)presenting data in the format of pastiche, with textual layers of various voices intertwined. The researcher’s “non-conclusions” included a furthered wondering of her own motivation in choosing to be a creator of a collage-like work, as well as a questioning of her reliance on the metaphor of “pathway” and the original research focus, especially in light of the conversations that ultimately took place. The researcher continues to seek to re-inscribe the focus of this work as a wondering about how to disturb, disrupt, and/or unsettle the category of “Italian American teacher.”

description: Weight-category athletes (e.g. boxers, wrestlers, jockeys etc.) who engage in weight-making practices to compete are at risk of encountering negative physiological and psychological consequences. There is evidence to support safer weight-making strategies for these athletes; however, there appears to be poor adherence to these evidence-based methods. The aim of this review article is to identify the behavioural determinants which lead to athletes’ engagement and adherence in various weight-making practices amongst weight-category sports. A narrative review was conducted with articles screened for inclusion until February 2023. Twenty-three articles met the criteria for inclusion within this review. This review highlights the broad socio-cultural influences on athletes being introduced to weight-making from a young age and the continued engagement with these practices due to their wide cultural acceptance. Psychological factors such as perceived competence and confidence influence positive beliefs related to weight-making practices, further engraining them within the cultural sphere of weight-category sports. Recommendations related to future research and for practitioners within these sports are proposed throughout the article. Recommendations relate to such areas as further identification of barriers and facilitators to safer weight-making with weight-category athletes, education on the impact of weight-making for athlete support personnel, and psychological skills training to overcome periods of self-regulatory fatigue.

description: Knudsen Effusion Mass Spectrometry (KEMS) was used to find the solid state vapour pressures of a range of atmospherically relevant organic molecules from 298K to 333K. The selection of species analysed allowed for the effect of structural isomerism, specifically positional isomerism, and stereoisomerism, specifically geometric isomerism, on solid state vapour pressure to be investigated. In addition, the effect of varying the number of carboxylic acid groups present within a molecule’s structure, and of varying alkyl chain length was also assessed. The solid state vapour pressures were converted to subcooled liquid vapour pressures using experimental heat of fusion and melting point values. The resulting subcooled liquid vapour pressures were found to be up to 7 orders of magnitude lower than the vapour pressures estimated from models. Some of this variation between experimentally determined subcooled liquid vapour pressures and predicted vapour pressures, which use group contribution methods, can be attributed to the effects of isomerism which are largely not taken into account in models. Whilst these techniques might have both structural and parametric uncertainties, of the compound classes tested, a general inverse relationship between melting point and solid state vapour pressure was observed. Within each compound class the variations in vapour pressure can be attributed to the number and size of functional groups present and the relative positions of those functional groups to each other both positionally and geometrically. These two factors impact upon both the molecules’ dipole moments and upon their ability to interact both intramolecularly and intermolecularly via hydrogen bonding, thus explaining the differences in observed vapour pressure. Partitioning calculations using a range of condensed mass loadings show that whilst using vapour pressure values derived from models would put most of the compounds in the vapour phase, using the experimental values obtained here would mean a significant fraction of the organic molecules would be in the condensed phase. This could have a significant impact upon the formation and nature of atmospheric aerosol and comparisons with ambient data obtained from other mass spectrometry techniques during bonfire night in Manchester in 2016 are made in an attempt to assess this potential atmospheric importance.

description: A method of numerically evaluating slowly convergent monotone series is described. First, we apply a condensation transformation due to Van Wijngaarden to the original series. This transforms the original monotone series into an alternating series. In the second step, the convergence of the transformed series is accelerated with the help of suitable nonlinear sequence transformations that are known to be particularly powerful for alternating series. Some theoretical aspects of our approach are discussed. The efficiency, numerical stability, and wide applicability of the combined nonlinear-condensation transformation is illustrated by a number of examples. We discuss the evaluation of special functions close to or on the boundary of the circle of convergence, even in the vicinity of singularities. We also consider a series of products of spherical Bessel functions, which serves as a model for partial wave expansions occurring in quantum electrodynamic bound state calculations.
