description: We propose a tensor-to-vector regression approach to multi-channel speech enhancement in order to address the issue of input size explosion and hidden-layer size expansion. The key idea is to cast the conventional deep neural network (DNN) based vector-to-vector regression formulation under a tensor-train network (TTN) framework. TTN is a recently emerged solution for compact representation of deep models with fully connected hidden layers. Thus TTN maintains DNN's expressive power yet involves a much smaller amount of trainable parameters. Furthermore, TTN can handle a multi-dimensional tensor input by design, which exactly matches the desired setting in multi-channel speech enhancement. We first provide a theoretical extension from DNN to TTN based regression. Next, we show that TTN can attain speech enhancement quality comparable with that for DNN but with much fewer parameters, e.g., a reduction from 27 million to only 5 million parameters is observed in a single-channel scenario. TTN also improves PESQ over DNN from 2.86 to 2.96 by slightly increasing the number of trainable parameters. Finally, in 8-channel conditions, a PESQ of 3.12 is achieved using 20 million parameters for TTN, whereas a DNN with 68 million parameters can only attain a PESQ of 3.06. Our implementation is available online https://github.com/uwjunqi/Tensor-Train-Neural-Network.

description: We present a Monte Carlo study of an underwater neutrino telescope based on the detection of acoustic signals generated by neutrino induced cascades. This provides a promising approach to instrument large detector volumes needed to detect the small flux of cosmic neutrinos at ultra-high energies (E > 1 EeV). Acoustic signals are calculated based on the thermo-acoustic model. The signal is propagated to the sensors taking frequency dependent attenuation into account, and detected using a threshold trigger, where acoustic background is included as an effective detection threshold. A simple reconstruction algorithm allows for the determination of the cascade direction and energy. Various detector setups are compared regarding their effective volumes. Sensitivity estimates for the diffuse neutrino flux are presented.

title: Modelling and evaluating petroleum migration pathways in the Paris, Williston and west of Shetlands and Wessex Basins
Creators: name: Hindle, Andrew D.
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1999

description: Petroleum migration pathways through a basin are determined by the three-dimensional distribution of discontinuous sealing surfaces, which are usually parallel to bedding. The petroleum migrates below the sealing surface taking the structurally most advantageous route. The three-dimensional distribution of migration pathways within the petroleum system can be modelled on a personal computer using a program based on the parameters developed during the research summarised in this thesis. Application of the model to the Paris, Williston, West of Shetlands and Wessex Basins demonstrates that a good correlation can be made between predicted pathways and discovered accumulations using simple models. Migration pathways form a dense network overlying hydrocarbon generating areas in the central parts of basins. Towards the basin margins they commonly become increasingly focused into discrete pathways by the sealing-surface morphologies. The Paris and Williston Basin research showed how relatively minor structuring of geological strata can result in a significant focusing of pathways. Eventually these pathways may reach the surface as shown by seepages. Research in the Wessex Basin revealed that reverse modelling of pathways from seeps assists in the prediction of the location of leaking accumulations. Deflection of the pathways from the structurally most advantageous route below the sealing surface may be caused by lateral sealing barriers due to facies variation in the carrier rock below the seal, fault juxtaposition, or cross-formational seals such as salt intrusions. Deflection of pathways also occurs where there are hydrodynamic conditions in response to topography-driven groundwater flow.

description: In the winter of 1832-1833, German scientist and aristocrat Prince Maximilian of Wied spent five months in the Indiana town of New Harmony during a two-year expedition to the interior of North America. Maximilian’s observations of Native Americans west of the Mississippi River have influenced European and white American perceptions of the Indigenous peoples of North America for nearly two centuries, but his time in New Harmony has gone understudied. This article explores his personal journal and his published travelogue to discover what Maximilian’s time in New Harmony reveals about his work. New Harmony exposed him to a wealth of information about Native Americans produced by educated white elites like himself. However, Maximilian missed opportunities to encounter Native Americans first-hand in and around New Harmony, which he wrongly thought required crossing the Mississippi River. Because of the biases and misperceptions caused by Maximilian’s racialized worldview and stereotypical expectations of Native American life, he overlooked the Indigenous communities and individuals living in Indiana.

Neue Perspektiven der Texturanalytik von Gesteinen mit konventioneller Röntgenbeugung

Publisher: name: Universitätsverlag Göttingen

description: Technische Entwicklungen und verbesserte Messmethoden haben in den vergangenen 15 Jahren in der Gesteinstexturanalyse zu einer zunehmenden Nutzung vor allem der Elektronen- und Neutronenbeugung geführt. Dabei ist die Anwendung der Röntgentexturanalyse in der Geologie in den Hintergrund getreten. Neue technische Optionen dieser Methode, wie sie zum Beispiel für die Qualitätskontrolle in der Siliziumchipherstellung entwickelt worden sind, haben noch keinen Eingang in die Gesteinstexturanalyse gefunden. Steht die volumenbezogene Gesamttexturanalyse im Vordergrund, so hat die Röntgenbeugung spezifische Vorteile. Gegenüber der Elektronenbeugung am Rasterelektronenmikroskop (Backscatter Electron Diffraction) ist keine aufwendige Probenpräparation notwendig und es kann ein wesentlich größeres Probenvolumen erfasst werden. Gegenüber der Neutronenbeugung ist die Röntgenbeugung wesentlich kostengünstiger und die zur Verfügung stehende Messzeit ist im Prinzip unbeschränkt. Nachteile der Röntgentexturanalyse sind die notwendige Messdatenkorrektur aufgrund der Defokussierung des Messstrahls im Verlauf der Messung (Ullemeyer & Weber 1994), die unter Umständen schlechte Auflösung bezüglich Gitterabstand d, und das gegenüber der Neutronenbeugung wesentlich geringere messbare Probenvolumen. Die Anwendung der Röntgentexturanalyse war daher klassischerweise auf monophase und feinkörnige Gesteine beschränkt. Um diese Nachteile der Röntgentexturanalyse kostengünstig zu minimieren, wurde für die Abteilung Strukturgeologie und Geodynamik des Geowissenschaftlichen Zentrums der Universität Göttingen ein neues Röntgentexturgoniometer auf der Basis von neu entwickelten standardisierten Bauteilen für die Gesteinstexturanalyse individuell konfiguriert und die Messdatenauswertestrategie angepasst.

title: An investigation to examine the relationship between illness representations, quality of life and treatment adherence amongst young adults (aged 17-30 years) with insulin dependent diabetes
Creators: name: Hester-Smith, Philippa
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: This study explored treatment adherence amongst young adults aged 17-21 years and 23-30 years with insulin dependent diabetes. The Self-Regulatory Model (Leventhal, Nerenz & Steele, 1984) was drawn upon and the aim was to examine the relationship between treatment adherence and three independent variables including illness perceptions, medication beliefs and perceived quality of life. The sample included seventy-seven male and female participants who were recruited from four outpatient hospital clinics within the South of England. Thirty-seven participants were aged between 17-21 years and thirty-nine aged between 23-30 years. Self reported measures of treatment adherence and haemoglobin blood test results revealed that many participants were struggling to maintain good glycaemic control. Furthermore, significant differences between age groups were revealed within self report adherence measures with the younger age group reporting greater non adherence to glucose testing and diet. A non parametric correlation design was used to determine whether there was a relationship within each age group between measures of treatment adherence and the independent variables. No relationship was found between Illness perceptions and treatment adherence, although medication beliefs were associated with insulin misuse concerning weight control within the younger age group only. Furthermore, positive associations were found between quality of life measure, insulin adherence and glycaemic control within both age groups. The results are discussed in relation to the Self Regulatory Model and it is suggested that the association between quality of life and treatment adherence requires further exploration. Future research proposals are outlined and the clinical implications of this study are discussed in some depth.

description: J.K. Rowling has been accused by critics such as Jack Zipes and John Pennington of being a simplistic writer, but my examination of the fifth novel of the series, Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix, shows not only that she is creating complex characters but that she is also working with and against character stereotypes to craft intricate worlds and challenging ideas. More specifically, Rowling meticulously researches names and uses them to reveal aspects of her characters' personas and attributes. By analysing the meaning and symbolic use of the characters' names in Rowling's fifth novel, I will demonstrate how she uses names, and how she has created schemas that strengthen the link between and among the characters, their names and their roles in her work.

description: The article elaborates on the process of farmers organizing themselves into groups in the period of 2004-2016, the regional diversity of the integration of agricultural producer groups, as well as of fruit and vegetable producer groups/organizations. The analysis has been conducted of the financial support provided in 2004-2015; furthermore, the possibility of receiving financial support until 2020 within the scope of producer integration has been explained in detail. After Poland’s accession to the European Union, the opportunity to receive financial support as a part of the Common Agricultural Policy has been one of key factors of the processes of integration in agriculture. The development and success of producer groups/organizations will highly depend on the scope of financial support from national and European funds, as well as on the proper national policy to support big business entities able to compete on global markets. It will also be important to highlight the success of groups already existing on the market, to undertake actions aimed at building trust for other entities, as well as to shape and promote appropriate attitudes of the leaders.

description: Higher-order topological insulators not only exhibit exotic bulk-boundary correspondence principle, but also have an important application in quantum computing. However, they have never been achieved in quantum walk. In this paper, we construct a two-dimensional coinless discrete-time quantum walk to simulate second-order topological insulator with zero-dimensional corner states. We show that both of the corner and edge states can be observed through the probability distribution of the walker after multi-step discrete-time quantum walks. Furthermore, we demonstrate the robustness of the topological corner states by introducing the static disorder. Finally, we propose a possible experimental implementation to realize this discrete-time quantum walk in a three-dimensional integrated photonic circuits. Our work offers a new route to explore exotic higher-order topological matters using discrete-time quantum walks.

description: In Poland, the production of sugar beet is currently the last branch of agriculture controlled by the state. In 2017, the market for sugar will be deregulated. The main aim of this work is to present the prospects of production of sugar beet in Poland, in a short period after the abolition of the existing regulation in the EU. To determine the scale of possible changes farm optimization model using the technique of positive mathematical programming (PMP) was applied. For individual types of farms extracted from the sample FADN base and alternative (after complete deregulation) the structure of production and the financial results was estimated. The results indicate that the abolition of sugar quotas will lead to small increase of the sugar beets crop structure, especially in large crop farms. At the same time decrease profitability of this crop will lead to a slight reduction of the average income of farms, especially in regions with a significant participation in the structure of the beet crop.

description: Subglacial chemical processes in Antarctica are potentially significant contributors to global geochemical cycles, but current understanding of their scale and nature is limited. A sequential chemical extraction procedure was developed and tested to investigate the utility of meteoric 10Be as a tracer for chemical weathering processes beneath the East Antarctic Ice Sheet. Subglacial meltwater is widely available under the Antarctic Ice Sheet and chemical constituents within it have the potential to drive geochemical weathering processes in the subglacial environment. Meteoric 10Be is a cosmogenic nuclide with a half-life of 1.39×106 years that is incorporated into glacier ice, therefore its abundance in the subglacial environment in Antarctica is meltwater dependent. It is known to adsorb to fine-grained particles in aqueous solution, precipitate with amorphous oxides, and/or be incorporated into authigenic clay structures during chemical weathering. The presence of 10Be in weathering products derived from beneath the ice therefore indicates chemical weathering processes in the subglacial environment. Freshly emerging subglacial sediments from the Mt. Achernar blue ice moraine were subject to chemical extractions where these weathering phases were isolated and 10Be concentrations therein quantified. Optimization of the phase isolation was developed by examining the effects of each extraction on the sample mineralogy and chemical composition. Experiments on 10Be desorption revealed that pH 3.2-3.5 was optimal for the extraction of adsorbed 10Be. Vigorous disaggregation of the samples before grain size separations and acid extractions is crucial due to the preferential fractionation of the nuclide with clay-sized particles. 10Be concentrations of 2-22×107 atoms g-1 measured in oxides and clay minerals in freshly emerging sediments strongly indicate subglacial chemical weathering in the catchment of the Mt. Achernar moraine. Sediment-meltwater contact in the system was calculated to be on the order of thousands of years, based on total 10Be sample concentrations, local basal melt rates, and 10Be ice concentrations. Strong correlation (R = 0.96) between 10Be and smectite abundance in the sediments indicate authigenic clay formation in the subglacial environment. This study shows that meteoric 10Be is a useful tool to characterize subglacial geochemical weathering processes under the Antarctic Ice Sheet.
title: Neural network techniques for position and scale invariant image classification
Creators: name: Grimes, Catherine Alison
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: This research is concerned with the application of neural network techniques to the problems of classifying images in a manner that is invariant to changes in position and scale. In addition to the goal of invariant classification, the network has to classify the objects in a hierarchical manner, in which complex features are constructed from simpler features, and use unsupervised learning. The resultant hierarchical structure should be able to classify the image by having an internal representation that models the structure of the image. After finding existing neural network techniques unsuitable, a new type of neural network was developed that differed from the conventional multi-layer perceptron type of architecture. This network was constructed from neurons that were grouped into feature detectors.These neurons were taught in an unsupervised manner that used a technique based on Kohonen learning.A number of novel techniques were developed to improve the learning and classification performance of the network. The network was able to retain the spatial relationship of the classified features; this inherent property resulted in the capability for position and scale invariant classification. As a consequence, an additional invariance filter was not required. In addition to achieving the invariance property, the developed techniques enabled multiple objects in an image to be classified. When the network had learned the spatial relationships between the lower level features, names could be assigned to the identified features. As part of the classification process, th e system was able to identify the positions of the classified features in all layers of the network. A software model of an artificial retina was used to test the grey scale classification performance of the network and to assess the response of the retina to changes in brightness. Like the Neocognitron, the resulting network was developed solely for image classification. Although the Neocognitron is not designed for scale or position invariance, it was chosen for comparison purposes because it has structural similarities and the ability to accommodates light changes in the image. This type of network could be used as the basis for a 2D-scene analysis neural network, in which the inherent parallelism of the neural network would provide simultaneous classification of the objects in the image.

We demonstrate that the effect of nucleon-nucleon cross-section reduces to insignificant level for heavier colliding nuclei in agreement with previous studies. A stiff equation of state with nucleon-nucleon cross-sections of 35-40 mb is able to explain all the measured balance energies within few percent. A power law is also given for the mass dependence of the disappearance of flow which is in excellent agreement with experimental data.

description: This study presents the results of surveys which were carried out in November and December 2014. The respondents were owners of 20, out of 24 farms operating in the area of Żnin District. Gaining additional profits from the agritourist activities was what they were interested in. The studied agritourist objects provided a big variety of offers. However, a lack of typical agritourist attractions, connected with farming, was found to be a drawback. It was found that the farm owners were highly satisfied with agritourist activities.

description: Quantum simulations with ultra-cold atoms in optical lattices open up an exciting path towards understanding strongly interacting quantum systems. Atom gas microscopes are crucial for this as they offer single-site density resolution, unparalleled in other quantum many-body systems. However, currently a direct measurement of local coherent currents is out of reach. In this work, we show how to achieve that by measuring densities that are altered in response to quenches to non-interacting dynamics, e.g., after tilting the optical lattice. For this, we establish a data analysis method solving the closed set of equations relating tunnelling currents and atom number dynamics, allowing to reliably recover the full covariance matrix, including off-diagonal terms representing coherent currents. The signal processing builds upon semi-definite optimization, providing bona fide covariance matrices optimally matching the observed data. We demonstrate how the obtained information about non-commuting observables allows to lower bound entanglement at finite temperature which opens up the possibility to study quantum correlations in quantum simulations going beyond classical capabilities.

description: Though the issue of eco-innovation is a new category in economic sciences, it is seen by farmers as a way to attain competitive advantage in the global market more and more often. The main determinants of implementation of eco-innovation in the economy are the formal and legal regulations and market factors. The primary purpose of eco-innovation is to reduce negative environmental impact of agricultural activity and to produce food that is good for people. The aim of this article is to present the issue of eco-innovation and to indicate strengths and weaknesses as well as opportunities and threats for agriculture that result from their implementation.

description: I address the current status of dynamical decoupling techniques in terms of required control resources and feasibility. Based on recent advances in both improving the theoretical design and assessing the control performance for specific noise models, I argue that significant progress may still be possible on the road of implementing decoupling under realistic constraints.

Pulsational line profile variation of the roAp star HR 3831

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We report the first comprehensive investigation of the line profile variation caused by non-radial pulsation in a magnetic oscillating chemically peculiar star. Spectrum variation of the well-known roAp star HR 3831 is detected using very high-resolution high signal-to-noise spectroscopic time-series observations and are followed through the whole rotation cycle of the star. We confirm outstanding diversity of pulsational behaviour of different lines in the HR 3831 spectrum and attribute this phenomenon to an interplay between extreme vertical chemical inhomogeneity of the HR 3831 atmosphere and a running pulsation wave, propagating towards the upper photospheric layers with increasing amplitude. Rapid profile variation of the NdIII 6145 A line is characterized by measuring changes of its equivalent width and the first three moments. We demonstrate that rotational modulation of the radial velocity oscillations cannot be fully explained by an oblique axisymmetric dipole (ell=1, m=0) mode, implied by the classical oblique pulsator model of roAp stars. Pulsational variation of the higher moments reveal substantial contribution of the high-order (ell=3) spherical harmonics which appear due to distortion of pulsations in HR 3831 by the global magnetic field. We interpret observations with a novel numerical model of the pulsational variation and rotational modulation of the line profile moments in roAp stars. The comparison between observed and computed amplitudes and phases of the radial velocity and line width variation is used to establish parameters of the oblique pulsator model of HR 3831. Furthermore, definite detection of pulsational variation in lines of light and iron-peak elements enables the first 3-D mapping of pulsations in non-radially oscillating star.

description: We prove that for any given $ε>0$, the first negative eigenvalue of the Yoshida lift $F$ of a pair of elliptic cusp forms $f,g$ having square-free levels (where $g$ has weight $2$ and satisfies $(\log Q_{g})^2 \ll \log Q_f$), occurs before $c_ε \cdot Q_F^{1/2-2 θ+ ε} $; where $Q_F,Q_f,Q_g$ are the analytic conductors of $F,f,g$ respectively, $θ< 1/4$, and $c_ε$ is a constant depending only on $ε$.
Origin of Central Andean collapse calderas
Creators: name: Riller, Ulrich
Publisher: name: Universitätsverlag Göttingen
Year: 2006

description: Regional strains in tectonically active volcanic provinces may have a profound influence on the mode of collapse caldera formation. Conversely, the deformation pattern, more specifically, the symmetry of plan-view strain fields imparted to caldera floors may assist in elucidating the regional deformation active during caldera formation. The symmetry of plan-view strain fields is chiefly controlled by the mode of floor subsidence, particularly whether subsidence is uniform, symmetric or asymmetric, portraying collapse mechanisms known respectively as plate, downsag and trapdoor. Plate and downsag subsidence generates centro-symmetric strain fields characterized by radial and concentric discontinuities and subvolcanic dikes. Such strain fields appear to develop preferably where magma pressure controls collapse. By contrast, rectilinear horizontal strain fields form under unidirectional stretching and generate normal faults and subvolcanic dikes transverse to the stretching direction. Rectilinear strain fields are typical for trapdoor subsidence but also for straight orogenic belts and suggests that the formation of both may be related. This was tested for six central Andean collapse calderas that formed between 10.5 and 2Ma and are located on prominent NW–SE striking fault zones. A combined geochronological and structural analysis of the Miocene Negra Muerta Caldera in particular was designed to better understand caldera formation associated with the prominent Olacapato – El Toro Fault Zone...

Spin-Orbit Scattering and Time-Reversal Symmetry: Detection of a Spin by Tunneling
Creators: name: Hastings, M. B.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Mesoscale and Nanoscale Physics (cond-mat.mes-hall)

description: We consider the possibility of detecting spin precession in a magnetic field by nonequilibrium transport processes. We find that time reversal symmetry imposes strong constraints on the problem. Suppose the tunneling occurs directly between systems at two different chemical potentials, rather than sequentially via a third system at an intermediate chemical potential. Then, unless the magnetic fields are extremely strong or spin polarized electrons are used, the periodic signal in the current results from beating together two different precession frequencies, so that observing a signal near the Larmor frequency in this case requires having some cluster with a $g$ factor close to zero.

title: Representing black Britain : black images on British television from 1936 to the present day
Creators: name: Malik, Sarita
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1998

description: This thesis examines the history of Black representation on British television from 1936 to the present day. Through archival research, it traces Black people's involvement in British television, both on and off screen. The study involves a detailed review of various debates around the history and future of race and representation on television. It also focuses on various issues related to British race relations, the structure of British broadcasting, television policy and the ideological and social construction of 'race'. Although the project is a historical survey with a social and cultural emphasis, it also considers the future of television images of Blackness within the context of deregulation, globalisation and the move towards a federal Europe. As such, the thesis brings us up to date and intersects with aspects of sociology, cultural and media studies and studies of race and ethnicity. The project draws, in part, on a number of original interviews conducted by the author with key Black people involved in the British television industry (actors, commissioning editors, producers, academics, film-makers). It also provides a number of detailed case studies of selected television programmes. The genres discussed include documentary, news, comedy, sport, variety, drama and film. The central thesis suggests that the portrayal of Black people on-screen has been marginalised and confined to a narrow repertoire of (stereo)types underpinned by popular assumptions of what 'Blackness' or 'Black-Britishness' constitute. It argues that the programmes in which Black people have appeared, have signified key moments in the 'racialisation' of British society; moments when the presence of 'race' itself has been realised. But it also argues that, far from being passive to these exclusionary and limiting processes, Black people in Britain have actively mounted a series of individual and collective strategic interventions in order to tackle institutional discrimination and gain media representation, employment and access. The project has been supervised by Professor Stuart Hall (formerly of the Open University's Sociology department) and June Givanni (former Head of the African-Caribbean Unit at the British Film Institute). It draws on, and is an extension of, earlier research conducted as part of the British Film Institute's 'Black and White in Colour' Project in 1992.
Fake massive black holes in the milli-Hertz gravitational-wave band

description: In gravitational wave (GW) astronomy accurate measurement of the source parameters, such as mass, relies on accurate waveform templates. Currently, the templates are developed assuming that the source, such as a binary black hole (BBH), is residing in a vacuum. However, astrophysical models predict that BBHs could form in gaseous environments, such as common envelops, stellar cores, and accretion disks of active galactic nuclei. Here we revisit the impact of gas on the GW waveforms of stellar-mass BBHs with a focus on the early inspiral phase when the GW frequency is around milli-Hertz. We show that for these BBHs, gas friction could dominate the dynamical evolution and hence duplicate chirp signals. The relevant hydrodynamical timescale, $τ_{\rm gas}$, could be much shorter than the GW radiation timescale, $τ_{\rm gw}$, in the above astrophysical scenarios. As a result, the observable chirp mass is higher than the real one by a factor of $(1+τ_{\rm gw}/τ_{\rm gas})^{3/5}$ if the gas effect is ignored in the data analysis. Such an error also results in an overestimation of the source distance by a factor of $(1+τ_{\rm gw}/τ_{\rm gas})$. By performing matched-filtering analysis in the milli-Hertz band, we prove that the gas-dominated signals are practically indistinguishable from the chirp signals of those more massive BBHs residing in a vacuum environment. Such fake massive objects in the milli-Hertz band, if not appropriately accounted for in the future, may alter our understanding of the formation, evolution, and detection of BBHs.
