description: Our main purpose in this paper is to investigate a supercritical Sobolev-type inequality for the $k$-Hessian operator acting on $Φ^{k}_{0,\mathrm{rad}}(B)$, the space of radially symmetric $k$-admissible functions on the unit ball $B\subset\mathbb{R}^{N}$. We also prove both the existence of admissible extremal functions for the associated variational problem and the solvability of a related $k$-Hessian equation with supercritical growth.
Topographically generated, subinertial flows within a finite length canyon.
Creators: name: Allen, Susan E.
Publisher: name: American Meteorological Society
Year: 2011

description: The presence of a canyon cutting the continental shelf has been observed to enhance wind-driven upwelling. In particular, in the vicinity of Juan de Fuca Canyon at the mouth of the Juan de Fuca Strait an eddy containing deep water (from a depth of approximately 450 m) has been documented. Strong upcanyon flows have been observed within numerous canyons including Astoria Canyon, which cuts the shelf offshore of the mouth of the Columbia River. The author develop a linear theory for wind-driven flow over an infinitesimally thin but finite length canyon to illustrate the basic mechanism. Two regimes are considered, the initial growing velocity field and a later steady velocity field. The flow toward the shore is enhanced by O (10) by the presence of the canyon in a homogeneous fluid. The presence of stratification introduces smaller horizontal length scales, the baroclinic Rossby radius, and allows further enhancement of the upcanyon flow. Numerical simulations show that the linear theory is a reasonable approximation for canyons of finite but narrow width compared with the baroclinic Rossby radius. The effect of nonlinearity is to advert the flow pattern downstream, which gives results closer to what is observed. In contrast to the case for linear flow, strong cyclonic vorticity is generated over the canyon, as is observed over Astoria Canyon. Copyright 1996 American Meteorological Society (AMS).

Reliable Frequency Regulation through Vehicle-to-Grid: Encoding Legislation with Robust Constraints

description: Problem definition: Vehicle-to-grid increases the low utilization rate of privately owned electric vehicles by making their batteries available to electricity grids. We formulate a robust optimization problem that maximizes a vehicle owner's expected profit from selling primary frequency regulation to the grid and guarantees that market commitments are met at all times for all frequency deviation trajectories in a functional uncertainty set that encodes applicable legislation. Faithfully modeling the energy conversion losses during battery charging and discharging renders this optimization problem non-convex. Methodology/results: By exploiting a total unimodularity property of the uncertainty set and an exact linear decision rule reformulation, we prove that this non-convex robust optimization problem with functional uncertainties is equivalent to a tractable linear program. Through extensive numerical experiments using real-world data, we quantify the economic value of vehicle-to-grid and elucidate the financial incentives of vehicle owners, aggregators, equipment manufacturers, and regulators. Managerial implications: We find that the prevailing penalties for non-delivery of promised regulation power are too low to incentivize vehicle owners to honor the delivery guarantees given to grid operators.

description: Student-Led Teaching Awards are recognition schemes which allow students
 to nominate their lecturers for supporting their university experiences in
 various ways, such as teaching and supervision. This research study
 contributes to the growing literature in this area by analysing how
 students perceive their lecturers and lecturers' teaching practice.
 Additionally, as Student-Led Teaching Awards are an informal form of
 student evaluation of teaching, which research finds to be commonly gender
 biased, this study aims to investigate potential gender bias within the
 nominations. The data of this study consisted of Best Lecturer Award
 nominations for 750 lecturers during the years 2016-2020 at a UK
 teaching-oriented university. The nominations were analysed using thematic
 network analysis to decipher how students perceived their lectures in
 their nominations. Examining the frequency of mentions of each theme found
 in the dataset determined how students perceived their female and male
 lecturers differently. The findings of the study showed four distinct
 areas in which students nominated their lecturers: students as consumers,
 students as learners, lecturers as academics, and lecturers as educators.
 Female lecturers' nominations contained more references to being
 motherly, caring, offering personal help, and organisational skills were
 often compared to other lecturers. Male lecturers' nominations
 contained more references to giving engaging lectures, being
 knowledgeable, having a sense of humour, being professional, and being
 good for the university's reputation. These findings are depicted in
 six personas using creative nonfiction: The Professional Man, The
 Confident Expert, The Penalised Woman and The Performing Woman, The
 Perfect Woman, The Mother and the Friend, and The Quiet Woman. This study
 contributes to knowledge in the field of students evaluation of teaching
 as it demonstrates that gender bias is also found in Student-Led Teaching
 Awards. This research study also makes an original contribution by using
 creative nonfiction in the form of short stories to analyse and
 communicate the findings of this study. It demonstrates an innovative
 approach of bringing creative writing into educational research.

description: We develop a projected Wasserstein distance for the two-sample test, a fundamental problem in statistics and machine learning: given two sets of samples, to determine whether they are from the same distribution. In particular, we aim to circumvent the curse of dimensionality in Wasserstein distance: when the dimension is high, it has diminishing testing power, which is inherently due to the slow concentration property of Wasserstein metrics in the high dimension space. A key contribution is to couple optimal projection to find the low dimensional linear mapping to maximize the Wasserstein distance between projected probability distributions. We characterize the theoretical property of the finite-sample convergence rate on IPMs and present practical algorithms for computing this metric. Numerical examples validate our theoretical results.

description: We compute adiabatic waveforms for extreme mass-ratio inspirals (EMRIs) by "stitching" together a long inspiral waveform from a sequence of waveform snapshots, each of which corresponds to a particular geodesic orbit. We show that the complicated total waveform can be regarded as a sum of "voices." Each voice evolves in a simple way on long timescales, a property which can be exploited to efficiently produce waveform models that faithfully encode the properties of EMRI systems. We look at examples for a range of different orbital geometries: spherical orbits, equatorial eccentric orbits, and one example of generic (inclined and eccentric) orbits. To our knowledge, this is the first calculation of a generic EMRI waveform that uses strong-field radiation reaction. We examine waveforms in both the time and frequency domains. Although EMRIs evolve slowly enough that the stationary phase approximation (SPA) to the Fourier transform is valid, the SPA calculation must be done to higher order for some voices, since their instantaneous frequency can change from chirping forward ($\dot f > 0$) to chirping backward ($\dot f < 0$). The approach we develop can eventually be extended to more complete EMRI waveform models, for example to include effects neglected by the adiabatic approximation such as the conservative self force and spin-curvature coupling.

Topological obstructions to quantum computation with unitary oracles

description: Algorithms with unitary oracles can be nested, which makes them extremely versatile. An example is the phase estimation algorithm used in many candidate algorithms for quantum speed-up. The search for new quantum algorithms benefits from understanding their limitations: Some tasks are impossible in quantum circuits, although their classical versions are easy, for example, cloning. An example with a unitary oracle $U$ is the if clause, the task to implement controlled $U$ (up to the phase on $U$). In classical computation the conditional statement is easy and essential. In quantum circuits the if clause was shown impossible from one query to $U$. Is it possible from polynomially many queries? Here we unify algorithms with a unitary oracle and develop a topological method to prove their limitations: No number of queries to $U$ and $U^\dagger$ lets quantum circuits implement the if clause, even if admitting approximations, postselection and relaxed causality. We also show limitations of process tomography, oracle neutralization, and $\sqrt[\dim U]{U}$, $U^T$, and $U^\dagger$ algorithms. Our results strengthen an advantage of linear optics, challenge the experiments on relaxed causality, and motivate new algorithms with many-outcome measurements.

Statistical approaches for understanding and correcting systematic errors in climate model estimates of Antarctic surface climatology.
Creators: name: Carter, Jeremy
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2024

description: The current and future stability of the Antarctic ice sheet under rising
 global temperatures is critical to understand with wide-ranging
 implications, such as influencing ocean currents and having a significant
 contribution to global sea level rise. Sea level rise results in
 submergence of land as well as more regular and intense flooding, leading
 to wide-spread displacement of communities and collapse of coastal
 ecosystems. Climate models provide invaluable, spatiotemporally
 comprehensive estimates of past, current and future climatology that are
 integral for predictions of the stability of the Antarctic ice sheet -
 impact studies utilise the climate model product to predict events such as
 ice shelf collapse. Confidence in the findings of impact studies are
 partially limited though due to systematic errors in the climate model
 output that are difficult to quantify adequately across the ice sheet. The
 first aim of this thesis is to fill a gap in the literature by providing a
 thorough examination of systematic errors in state-of-the-art regional
 climate model simulations over Antarctica with a focus on: how the errors
 vary spatially across the ice sheet; the different sources of errors and
 their relative contributions; errors across different temporal scales; and
 errors in variables important for prediction of ice shelf collapse events,
 including snowfall, snow melt and near-surface air temperature. Following
 on from this, the second aim of the thesis is to develop a novel approach
 for bias correction that is specifically designed for the requirements of
 correcting climate model output over Antarctica. The bias correction
 methodology is developed with and tested against several simulated data
 examples and then subsequently with the real-world case study of
 correcting near-surface air temperature climate model output over the ice
 sheet using automatic weather station records. Throughout the thesis
 several statistical techniques are applied for the first time in this
 specific area of application, including techniques such as seasonal and
 trend decomposition using LOESS, Gaussian process regression and
 hierarchical Bayesian modelling. Utilising these techniques provides
 useful advantages over previous studies in the literature, including:
 presenting systematic errors at different temporal scales; explicitly
 modelling underlying spatial covariance patterns in the data and in
 systematic errors; and robustly estimating uncertainty in bias corrected
 climate model output.

The Estimation Method of Inference Functions for Margins for Multivariate Models
Creators: name: Joe, Harry
name: Xu, James Jianmeng
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2017

description: An estimation approach is proposed for models for a multivariate (non-normal) response with covariates when each of the parameters (either a univariate or a dependence parameter) of the model can be associated with a marginal distribution. The approach consists of estimating univariate parameters from separately maximizing univariate likelihoods, and then estimating dependence parameters from separate bivariate likelihoods or from a multivariate likelihood. The analysis of this method is done through the theory of inference or estimating functions, and the jackknife method is proposed for obtaining standard errors of the parameters and functions of the parameters. The approach proposed here make a large contribution to the computational feasibility of carrying out inference with multivariate models. Examples illustrate the approach, and simulation results are used to indicate the efficiency.

description: We establish critical and subcritical sharp Trudinger-Moser inequalities for fractional dimensions on the whole space. Moreover, we obtain asymptotic lower and upper bounds for the fractional subcritical Trudinger-Moser supremum from which we can prove the equivalence between critical and subcritical inequalities. Using this equivalence, we prove the existence of maximizers for both the subcritical and critical associated extremal problems. As a by-product of this development, we can explicitly calculate the value of the critical supremum in some special situations.

We use a sensitivity measure based on the method of moments and compare direct imaging with spatial mode demultiplexing, analytically proving the advantage of the latter. We show that the sensitivity of spatial mode demultiplexing saturates the quantum Fisher information, for all known cases, even for non-Gaussian states of the sources.

description: With breakthrough of the AlphaGo, human-computer gaming AI has ushered in a big explosion, attracting more and more researchers all around the world. As a recognized standard for testing artificial intelligence, various human-computer gaming AI systems (AIs) have been developed such as the Libratus, OpenAI Five and AlphaStar, beating professional human players. The rapid development of human-computer gaming AIs indicate a big step of decision making intelligence, and it seems that current techniques can handle very complex human-computer games. So, one natural question raises: what are the possible challenges of current techniques in human-computer gaming, and what are the future trends? To answer the above question, in this paper, we survey recent successful game AIs, covering board game AIs, card game AIs, first-person shooting game AIs and real time strategy game AIs. Through this survey, we 1) compare the main difficulties among different kinds of games and the corresponding techniques utilized for achieving professional human level AIs; 2) summarize the mainstream frameworks and techniques that can be properly relied on for developing AIs for complex human-computer gaming; 3) raise the challenges or drawbacks of current techniques in the successful AIs; and 4) try to point out future trends in human-computer gaming AIs. Finally, we hope this brief review can provide an introduction for beginners, and inspire insights for researchers in the field of AI in human-computer gaming.

description: In this paper, we propose \texttt{FGPR}: a Federated Gaussian process ($\mathcal{GP}$) regression framework that uses an averaging strategy for model aggregation and stochastic gradient descent for local client computations. Notably, the resulting global model excels in personalization as \texttt{FGPR} jointly learns a global $\mathcal{GP}$ prior across all clients. The predictive posterior then is obtained by exploiting this prior and conditioning on local data which encodes personalized features from a specific client. Theoretically, we show that \texttt{FGPR} converges to a critical point of the full log-likelihood function, subject to statistical error. Through extensive case studies we show that \texttt{FGPR} excels in a wide range of applications and is a promising approach for privacy-preserving multi-fidelity data modeling.

description: This is the digital appendix to the publication "Enhancing Human Task Performance through Audiovisual Augmentation" at IEEE ISMAR 2024.

Abstract: In unusual environments and situations like extreme sports, underground environments, underwater, conflict zones or outer space, human sensory perception is often limited, which can adversely affect task performance, situational awareness, and the feeling of presence. This paper explores the efficacy of augmenting human perception with audiovisual information to support individuals in such contexts. Specifically, we investigate the impact of audiovisual augmentation on presence, situational awareness, and task performance. To conduct this research, we designed a  virtual reality (VR) simulation of a space mission aboard the International Space Station (ISS). Within this simulation, participants were tasked with performing maintenance activities while receiving artificial augmentations. We conducted a user study involving 43 participants who performed the same maintenance task under four augmentation conditions: audio cues, visual cues, audiovisual cues, and no cues. Our findings reveal that adding audiovisual information significantly enhances performance. Participants with audiovisual augmentations had a 60% improvement in task completion speed compared to those without augmentations. Moreover, the workload was substantially reduced, and the sense of presence was increased when audiovisual support was used. The results highlight the potential of audiovisual augmentation as a valuable tool for individuals engaging in situations with reduced audiovisual perception. The insights demonstrating the versatility and promise of audiovisual augmentation in enhancing task performance.

description: Distributed Parameter Systems (DPSs), modelled by partial differential equations (PDEs), are increasingly vulnerable to disturbances arising from various sources. Although detection of disturbances in PDE systems have received considerable attention in existing literature, safety control of PDEs under disturbances remains significantly under-explored. In this context, we explore a practical input-to-state safety (pISSf) based control design approach for a class of DPSs modelled by linear Parabolic PDEs. Specifically, we develop a control design framework for this class of system with both safety and stability guarantees based on control Lyapunov functional and control barrier functional. To illustrate our methodology, we apply our strategy to design a thermal control system for battery modules under disturbance. Several simulation studies are done to show the efficacy of our method.

Evidence Based Drug Therapy : What Do the Numbers Mean?
Creators: name: Therapeutics Initiative (University Of British Columbia)

description: Therapeutics Letter 15 considers what clinicians and their patients need to know about relative risk (RR), relative risk reduction (RRR), absolute risk reduction (ARR), and numbers needed to treat (NTT). Benefits in clinical trials are most often presented in trial reports and advertisements as RR (risk ratio) or RRR; these can often be misleading to clinicians and patients. In fact, clinicians and patients make different drug therapy decisions, depending on the way the results are presented. The ARR and NNT give a much better appreciation of the magnitude of the benefit and of the potential for a positive impact in your practice. Other essential parameters to be considered are the importance of the outcome to the patient and the time required to achieve the benefit.

description: Our main purpose in this paper is to establish the existence and nonexistence of extremal functions for sharp inequality of Adimurthi-Druet type for fractional dimensions on the entire space. Precisely, we extend the sharp Trudinger-Moser type inequality in (Calc.Var.Partial Differential Equations, \textbf{52} (2015) 125-163) for the entire space. In addition, we perform the two-step strategy of Carleson-Chang together blow up analysis method to ensure the existence of maximizers for the associated extremal problems for both subcritical and critical regimes. We also present a nonexistence result under subcritical regime for some special cases.

description: Simultaneously reflecting and transmitting reconfigurable intelligent surfaces (STAR-RIS) has recently emerged as prominent technology that exploits the transmissive property of RIS to mitigate the half-space coverage limitation of conventional RIS operating on millimeter-wave (mmWave). In this paper, we study a downlink STAR-RIS-based multi-user multiple-input single-output (MU-MISO) mmWave hybrid non-orthogonal multiple access (H-NOMA) wireless network, where a sum-rate maximization problem has been formulated. The design of active and passive beamforming vectors, time and power allocation for H-NOMA is a highly coupled non-convex problem. To handle the problem, we propose an optimization framework based on alternating optimization (AO) that iteratively solves active and passive beamforming sub-problems. Channel correlations and channel strength-based techniques have been proposed for a specific case of two-user optimal clustering and decoding order assignment, respectively, for which analytical solutions to joint power and time allocation for H-NOMA have also been derived. Simulation results show that: 1) the proposed framework leveraging H-NOMA outperforms conventional OMA and NOMA to maximize the achievable sum-rate; 2) using the proposed framework, the supported number of clusters for the given design constraints can be increased considerably; 3) through STAR-RIS, the number of elements can be significantly reduced as compared to conventional RIS to ensure a similar quality-of-service (QoS).
