description: In an influential paper, Eppley and Hannah argued that gravity must necessarily be quantized, by proposing a thought experiment involving classical gravitational waves interacting with quantum matter. They argue the interaction must either violate the uncertainty principle or allow superluminal signalling. The feasibility of implementing their experiment in our universe has been challenged by Mattingly, and other limitations of the argument have been noted by Huggett and Callender and by Albers et al.. However, these critiques do not directly refute the claim that coupling quantum theories with a Copenhagen collapse postulate to unentanglable classical gravitational degrees of freedom leads to contradiction. I note here that if the gravitational field interacts with matter via the local quantum state, the Eppley-Hannah argument evidently fails. This seems a plausibly natural feature of a hybrid theory, whereas the alternative considered by Eppley-Hannah is evidently inconsistent with relativity.

description: Neurobehaviorale Erkrankungen wie Depressionen oder chronische Schmerzen sind verantwortlich für einen beachtlichen Anteil der globalen Krankheitslast. Eine große Herausforderung bei der Behandlung dieser Erkrankungen ist die hohe Variabilität der Behandlungsergebnisse. Während einige Patient:innen gut auf bestimmte Behandlungen ansprechen, ist dieselbe Behandlung bei anderen Patient:innen mit ähnlichen Beschwerden wenig oder gar nicht wirksam. Deshalb wird zunehmend davon ausgegangen, dass sich hinter der jeweiligen Diagnose eine Vielzahl von Subgruppen verbirgt, die mutmaßlich von unterschiedlichen Behandlungsansätzen profitieren würden. Die Identifikation dieser Subgruppen würde eine bessere Stratifizierung erlauben. Dieses Konzept der Präzisionsmedizin hat sich bei einigen kardialen oder onkologischen Erkrankungen bereits etabliert. Bei den neurobehavioralen Erkrankungen bestehen jedoch zusätzliche Hürden. Unter anderem sind viele der Konstrukte, die zur Stratifizierung eingesetzt werden könnten, nicht direkt messbar. Die Arbeiten in dieser Habilitationsschrift beschäftigen sich deshalb mit ausgewählten Aspekten der Messung von Konstrukten, welche die Stratifizierung neurobehavioraler Erkrankungen erleichtern könnten. Während sich eine Arbeit mit der Verbesserung der Genauigkeit von Messungen individueller Zustände am Beispiel der Persönlichkeitsstruktur beschäftigt, werden in einer weiteren Arbeit Faktoren untersucht, welche die Genauigkeit von Veränderungsmessungen beeinflussen können. Zwei weitere Arbeiten beschäftigen sich damit, wie auf der Basis von Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) und Ecological Momentary Assessments (EMAs) Subgruppen identifiziert werden können, die relevant für den Verlauf der Behandlungen sind. Die letzte Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der internationalen Standardisierung von PROs, die eine weitere Voraussetzung für die Implementierung von Präzisionsmedizin bei neurobehavioralen Erkrankungen darstellt. Die Ergebnisse der Arbeiten bieten Ansatzpunkte für die Verbesserung der Messungen als Voraussetzung für Präzisionsmedizin bei neurobehavioralen Erkrankungen. Insbesondere die Kombination unterschiedlicher Ansätze, wie dynamische Messungen von Symptomen und Computer-adaptives Testen könnten zukünftig zur besseren Stratifizierung, Erfassung der Behandlungsverläufe und Vorhersage der Outcomes beitragen.

description: We investigate two chemical abundance calibrations for the narrow-line-region (NLR) of active galaxies in terms of three easily observable optical emission-line ratios, namely, [OIII]$λλ$4959,5007/H$β$, [NII]$λλ$6548,84/H$α$ and [OII]$\lambda3727/$[OIII]$λλ$4959,5007. The calibrations are obtained from a grid of models on the assumption that the main process responsible for the production of these lines is photoionization by a ``typical'' active galactic nucleus continuum. The chemical elements vary their abundance together with oxygen, except nitrogen, which is assumed to be a product of secondary nucleosynthesis. The calibrations are calculated for the range $8.4 \le 12+log(O/H) \le 9.4$, and tested using NLR data for a sample of Seyfert's and LINER's having HII regions in the vicinity of the nucleus. The gaseous abundances of these HII regions have been determined in previous works, and the NLR abundances are obtained on the assumption that they can be extrapolated from those of the HII regions. The calibrations work very well for the Seyfert's, giving abundance values which agree with those obtained from the HII regions, and can thus be used for quick estimates of the chemical abundances of the NLR's. For the LINER's, the calibrations give lower values than those derived from the corresponding HII regions, suggesting that the assumptions of the models do not apply for them, and that there are different physical processes at work in the NLR of the LINER's.

description: Recently, a variety of approaches has been enriching the field of Remote Sensing (RS) image processing and analysis. Unfortunately, existing methods remain limited faced to the rich spatio-spectral content of today's large datasets. It would seem intriguing to resort to Deep Learning (DL) based approaches at this stage with regards to their ability to offer accurate semantic interpretation of the data. However, the specificity introduced by the coexistence of spectral and spatial content in the RS datasets widens the scope of the challenges presented to adapt DL methods to these contexts. Therefore, the aim of this paper is firstly to explore the performance of DL architectures for the RS hyperspectral dataset classification and secondly to introduce a new three-dimensional DL approach that enables a joint spectral and spatial information process. A set of three-dimensional schemes is proposed and evaluated. Experimental results based on well knownhyperspectral datasets demonstrate that the proposed method is able to achieve a better classification rate than state of the art methods with lower computational costs.

ENVISIONING INCLUSION IN THE HEARTLAND: CHINESE LABORERS, MERCHANTS, AND STUDENTS IN THE MIDWEST UNITED STATES, 1880S-1910S

description: Situated in the Chinese restriction and exclusion era (1875-1943), this dissertation sheds light on the “inclusion” of Chinese laborers, merchants, and students around the turn of the twentieth century primarily in the states of Illinois and Indiana – an often-overlooked locale in the studies of Chinese American and US immigration history. “Inclusion,” in this context, is not about racial equality or social justice; instead, it denotes a recognition and acknowledgement that Chinese continued to come and live within the United States despite restrictive and exclusionary laws against them. Conceptualizing those three groups of Chinese as US residents inside the country, I argue that their domestic interactions both within and beyond their own Chinese circles yield a productive site of inquiries into race relations and immigration bureaucracy that were not always symmetrical to the exclusionary functions of the border around the turn of the twentieth century in the United States. In fact, “inclusion” and “exclusion” are contrary but not contradictory in the making of a “gatekeeping” nation state. They are in conflict yet intertwined, and they set the trajectories of Chinese im-/migration experiences into the US further apart from the other groups. Nevertheless, their lived experiences in the US Midwest proved the continuity of their collective belonging in a land where they lived and a country that they called home.

description: Nine interviews were conducted with astronomers from Leiden University, and a document analysis was performed on relevant institutional (self-) evaluation documents, annual reports, and CVs of the interviewees. The aim was to perform a qualitative study about the relationship between the research behaviour of astronomers and how their science is being evaluated. This study encompassed the funding and publication system as well as the indicators used to measure the scientific output, its quality and the research performance. It sheds light on how astronomers define high-quality research and how they think that creating knowledge of value is encouraged or hampered by the evaluation processes. The research shows that astronomers are realists who define scientific quality on the basis of “truth” and are driven by curiosity. These two factors make up their intrinsic values and motivation to perform Astronomy. Publication pressure, arising from the requirements of “the system”, creates an extrinsic motivation to perform. This results in premature publications, low readability and replicability, risk aversion and a focus on quantity rather than quality. Hence, indicators do not merely represent quality, but also co-constitute what counts as good research. While such constitutive effects of indicator use on research behaviour and content are observed, there is no indication that the astronomer's intrinsic values are co-constituted. This gives rise to a discrepancy between what is being measured by indicators and what astronomers define as scientific quality; the so-called "evaluation gap". Findings on constitutive effects and the evaluation gap in Astronomy lays out the conceptual groundwork for further empirical research and for policy advice on alternative evaluation practices and innovative indicators with the aim of bridging the "evaluation gap".

description: An onboard automated coronal mass ejections (CMEs) detection algorithm has been developed for Visible Emission Line Coronagraph (VELC) onboard ADITYA-L1. The aim of this algorithm is to reduce the load on telemetry by sending the high spatial ($\sim$ 2.51 arcsec pixel$^{-1}$) and temporal (1 s) resolution images of corona from 1.05 R$_{\odot}$ to 3 R$_{\odot}$, containing CMEs and rejecting others. It is based on intensity thresholding followed by an area thresholding in successive running difference images which are re-binned to lower resolution to improve signal to noise. Here we present the results of application of the algorithm on synthetic corona images generated for the VELC field of view (FOV).

description: The small-scale, cryogenic, and high pressure characteristics of the 0.3-Meter Transonic Cryogenic Tunnel provide a unique, high-Reynolds number research capability. However, the facility is currently restricted by its reliance on a two-dimensional adaptive wall test section coupled with an inadequate facility control system. Access to the test section is restricted, the walls require excess time for convergence and are mechanically constrained by a wall jacking system that degrades under cyclic cryogenic operations, and the tunnel requires excessive time to reach the set point, particularly at low Mach numbers. As a result, productivity and operational efficiency are limited, leading to expensive testing. Research is currently being conducted into new design concepts for a modular transonic test section with passive ventilated walls. The new test section will be adaptable so as to simulate the behavior of a variety of transonic facilities, initially the NTF and the Ames 11ft transonic tunnel. The ability to simulate other transonic facilities allows researchers to pursue risk reduction experiments, improve test planning and address fundamental flow problems such as the study of wall interference correction techniques and application of modern fluid dynamic measurement techniques under transonic high Reynolds number conditions.

description: The immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) lenalidomide and pomalidomide are highly effective treatments for multiple myeloma. However, virtually all patients eventually relapse due to acquired drug resistance with resistance-causing genetic alterations being found only in a small subset of cases. To identify non-genetic mechanisms of drug resistance, we here perform integrated global quantitative tandem mass tag (TMT)-based proteomic and phosphoproteomic analyses and RNA sequencing in five paired pre-treatment and relapse samples from multiple myeloma patients. These analyses reveal a CDK6-governed protein resistance signature that includes myeloma high-risk factors such as TRIP13 and RRM1. Overexpression of CDK6 in multiple myeloma cell lines reduces sensitivity to IMiDs while CDK6 inhibition by palbociclib or CDK6 degradation by proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) is highly synergistic with IMiDs in vitro and in vivo. This work identifies CDK6 upregulation as a druggable target in IMiD-resistant multiple myeloma and highlights the use of proteomic studies to uncover non-genetic resistance mechanisms in cancer.

description: Die molekulare Bildgebung umfasst unterschiedliche Technologien und Methoden und sie unterliegt einem kontinuierlichen Fortschritt, wobei ihr ursprüngliches Herzstück – die „patient centered care“ – nicht vergessen werden darf. In der vorliegenden Habilitationsschrift konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass die Innovationen in der Gerätetechnik das Potenzial haben, die Patient*innenzufriedenheit signifikant zu verbessern, ohne dabei die Aussagekraft der Untersuchung einzuschränken. Die Translation zwischen verschiedenen Akquisitionstechniken ermöglichen neue Perspektiven im Gebiet der Radionomics sowie eine personalisierte Behandlung der Patienten*innen. Zudem können Optimierungen von Behandlungsprotokollen die untersuchungsbedingte Belastung für Patient*innen signifikant senken und sowohl der Patient*innensicherheit als auch einer zielgerichteten Ressourcenallokation gerecht werden können. Somit sollte sich die molekulare Bildgebung nicht auf Bildbetrachtung oder Bildinterpretation reduzieren lassen. Vielmehr müssen die Patient*innenzufriedenheit sowie -sicherheit, die Optimierung von Untersuchungsprotokollen, die Definition von Aufnahme- sowie Rekonstruktionsparametern und Ressourcenallokation weiter verbessert werden; um dieses in den richtigen Kontext einer optimalen Therapieentscheidung einzuordnen.

description: In 1987 and 1989, Archaeological Consulting Services, Ltd. (ACS) undertook limited archaeological and historical investigations in areas adjacent to the Gila River Relocation Center that were to be impacted by the Sacaton Farms Irrigation System Project (Sawyer-Lang 1989; Sullivan et al. 1987). On January 20,1993, the Bureau of Reclamation requested a supplemental study of the Center that included the collection of additional historical material together with oral history information. The historical-period artifacts collected during the previous studies were reevaluated in the context of the more complete research data.

This project had two components, Phase I and Phase II. Phase I activities consisted primarily of a review of the existing archaeological data together with the collection of archival data on the Rivers Relocation Center. Oral history interviews of Japanese-Americans, O'odham people, and other persons associated with the Gila River Relocation Center comprised the primary research activity in Phase II.

This interim report was submitted to Reclamation at the conclusion of Phase I. It contains information on the archival resources investigated, and a synthesis of the archival materials on the Gila River Relocation Center, and particularly on Butte Camp. It also contains a review of the previously collected historic archaeological data, project research questions, and interview questions protocols.

description: In 1973 Erdos asked whether there are n-vertex partial Steiner triple systems with arbitrary high girth and quadratically many triples. (Here girth is defined as the smallest integer g \ge 4 for which some g-element vertex-set contains at least g-2 triples.) We answer this question, by showing existence of approximate Steiner triple systems with arbitrary high girth. More concretely, for any fixed \ell \ge 4 we show that a natural constrained random process typically produces a partial Steiner triple system with (1/6-o(1))n^2 triples and girth larger than \ell. The process iteratively adds random triples subject to the constraint that the girth remains larger than \ell. Our result is best possible up to the o(1)-term, which is a negative power of n.

description: The horizon of a static black hole in Anti-deSitter space can be spherical, planar, or hyperbolic. The microscopic dynamics of the first two classes of black holes have been extensively discussed recently within the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence. We argue that hyperbolic black holes introduce new and fruitful features in this respect, allowing for more detailed comparisons between the weak and strong coupling regimes. In particular, by focussing on the stress tensor and entropy of some particular states, we identify unexpected increases in the entropy of Super-Yang-Mills theory at strong coupling that are not accompanied by increases in the energy. We describe a highly degenerate state at zero temperature and zero energy density. We also find that the entanglement entropy across a Rindler horizon in exact AdS_5 is larger than might have been expected from the dual SYM theory. Besides, we show that hyperbolic black holes can be described as thermal Rindler states of the dual conformal field theory in flat space.

description: It has recently been observed, that a change in the crop spectrum happened during the so-called Middle Neolithic in France at ca. 4000 BC. An agricultural system based on free-threshing cereals (naked wheat and naked barley) seems to shift to one based on glume wheats. This is a major change for traditional farmers and this paper aims to shed light on its possible causes. Here we describe the results of new investigations in a key area for the understanding of this process: the NW Mediterranean arch, where free-threshing cereals are the main cultivars since ca. 5100 BC. New data confirm that the shift towards glume wheats is also observed in some sites of the NE of the Iberian Peninsula and that among the glume wheats that spread at ca. 4000 BC we should not only consider emmer and einkorn but also Timopheevi’s wheat. Stable isotope analyses indicate no major decrease in soil fertility or alterations in local precipitation regimes. The agricultural change may be the result of a combination of the spread of damaging pests for free-threshing cereals and presumably new networks being developed with the North-eastern part of Italy and the Balkans.

description: In the past decade, sparse and low-rank recovery have drawn much attention in many areas such as signal/image processing, statistics, bioinformatics and machine learning. To achieve sparsity and/or low-rankness inducing, the $\ell_1$ norm and nuclear norm are of the most popular regularization penalties due to their convexity. While the $\ell_1$ and nuclear norm are convenient as the related convex optimization problems are usually tractable, it has been shown in many applications that a nonconvex penalty can yield significantly better performance. In recent, nonconvex regularization based sparse and low-rank recovery is of considerable interest and it in fact is a main driver of the recent progress in nonconvex and nonsmooth optimization. This paper gives an overview of this topic in various fields in signal processing, statistics and machine learning, including compressive sensing (CS), sparse regression and variable selection, sparse signals separation, sparse principal component analysis (PCA), large covariance and inverse covariance matrices estimation, matrix completion, and robust PCA. We present recent developments of nonconvex regularization based sparse and low-rank recovery in these fields, addressing the issues of penalty selection, applications and the convergence of nonconvex algorithms.

Spincaloric properties of epitaxial Co$_2$MnSi/MgO/Co$_2$MnSi magnetic tunnel junctions

description: The electronic transport and spincaloric properties of epitaxial magnetic tunnel junctions with half-metallic Co$_2$MnSi Heusler electrodes, MgO tunneling barriers, and different interface terminations are investigated by using first-principles calculations. A new approach to spincaloric properties is presented that circumvents the linear response approximation inherent in the Seebeck coefficient and compared to the method of Sivan and Imry. This approach supports two different temperatures in the two electrodes and provides the exact current and/or voltage response of the system. Moreover, it accounts for temperature-dependent chemical potentials in the electrodes and finite-bias effects. We find that especially the former are important for obtaining qualitatively correct results, even if the variations of the chemical potentials are small. It is shown how the spincaloric properties can be tailored by the choice of the growth conditions. We find a large effective and spin-dependent Seebeck coefficient of $-65$ $μ$V/K at room temperature for the purely Co-terminated interface. We suggest to use such interfaces in thermally operated magnetoresistive random access memory modules, which exploit the magneto-Seebeck effect, to maximize the thermally induced readout voltage.

description: The major objective of this research was to study the maintenance decision process for systems with economic dependency. A probabilistic model was developed according to the proposed Markov model. After determining the maintenance cost through the markov models, we introduced the other costs associated with the device like operating cost and capital recovery cost, to get the total cost of all the activities involved in keeping the device. The optimal equivalent uniform cost can be found to occur at a particular number of life stages in the system. The nature of the equivalent uniform cost curve is dependent upon the deterioration cost, minimal, major and Poisson failure repair costs; hence, the curve changes according to these costs. Thus, equivalent uniform cost is a function of the various costs involved in the maintenance system.

In this thesis, research has been conducted to:

1. Study and characterize the failure repair process of a continuously operating device;

2. Develop a markov model for this device. The model is generally applicable to any systems with similar characteristics to those of this device;

3. Develop effective solution algorithms and computer programs for the developed markov model with a system of linear equations;

4. The optimum maintenance rate, λm,opt can be determined for different sets of assumptions for failure rates, repair rates and cost rates from the computer codes specifically developed for this thesis;

5. Integrate operating costs and capital recovery costs into the solution algorithm to determine the optimum replacement time for a device even while it is being maintained optimally.

description: This article explores the emerging role of wooden wax-covered writing boards in Kassite administration, as indicated by their mentions in three letters and one cattle account from Kassite period Nippur. Even though the number of textual references is scarce, the use of wooden wax-covered writing boards is supported by the depictions on late Kassite kudurru monuments. By incorporating perspectives from Middle Assyrian texts and Neo-Assyrian sealings, this study interprets references to writing board usage in Kassite letters, revealing their role in documenting conscripted workers and their rations. This interpretation finds support in evidence from the Ur III period, contemporary Emar, and the Neo-Babylonian period, collectively suggesting that writing boards were regarded as durable and highly reliable sources. The appearance of seal rings in Babylonia in 13th century BC allows for the hypothesis that wooden wax-covered writing boards could have been sealed in a similar fashion as is assumed for Neo-Assyrian writing boards containing lists of ERIN2.MEŠ troops of the king. Notably, the Kassite period letters indicate that writing boards were archived for minimum of 50 years and were checked to verify claims.

On the Relationship between Large Order Graphs and Instantons for the Double Well Oscillator

description: The double well oscillator is used as a QCD-like model for studying the relationship between large order graphs and the instanton-antiinstanton solution. We derive an equation for the perturbative coefficients of the ground state energy when the number of 3 and/or 4-vertices is fixed and large. These coefficients are determined in terms of an exact``bounce'' solution. When the number of 4-vertices is analytically continued to be near the negative of half the number of 3-vertices the bounce solution approaches the instanton-antiinstanton solution and detremines leading Borel singularity.

Superstring 'ending' on super-D9-brane: a supersymmetric action functional for the coupled brane system

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: A supersymmetric action functional describing the interaction of the fundamental superstring with the D=10, type IIB Dirichlet super-9-brane is presented. A set of supersymmetric equations for the coupled system is obtained from the action principle. It is found that the interaction of the string endpoints with the super-D9-brane gauge field requires some restrictions for the image of the gauge field strength. When those restrictions are not imposed, the equations imply the absence of the endpoints, and the equations coincide either with the ones of the free super-D9-brane or with the ones for the free closed type IIB superstring. Different phases of the coupled system are described. A generalization to an arbitrary system of intersecting branes is discussed.

description: The double carrier transport has been observed in thin film black phosphorus (BP) field effect transistor (FET) devices in highly electron doped region. BP thin films with typical thickness of 15 nm were encapsulated by hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) thin films to avoid degradation by air exposure. Their Hall mobility has reached 5300 cm2/Vs and 5400 cm2/Vs at 4.2 K in the hole and electron doped regions, respectively. The gate voltage dependence of conductivity exhibits an anomalous shoulder structure in electron doped region. In addition, at gate voltages above the shoulder, the magnetoresistance changes to positive, and there appears an additional slow Shubnikov-de Haas oscillation. These results strongly suggest the appearance of the second carriers, which originate from the second subband with localized band edge.

Leptonic and Semileptonic Decays of Charm and Bottom Hadrons

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We review the experimental measurements and theoretical descriptions of leptonic and semileptonic decays of particles containing a single heavy quark, either charm or bottom. Measurements of bottom semileptonic decays are used to determine the magnitudes of two fundamental parameters of the standard model, the Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa matrix elements $V_{cb}$ and $V_{ub}$. These parameters are connected with the physics of quark flavor and mass, and they have important implications for the breakdown of CP symmetry. To extract precise values of $|V_{cb}|$ and $|V_{ub}|$ from measurements, however, requires a good understanding of the decay dynamics. Measurements of both charm and bottom decay distributions provide information on the interactions governing these processes. The underlying weak transition in each case is relatively simple, but the strong interactions that bind the quarks into hadrons introduce complications. We also discuss new theoretical approaches, especially heavy-quark effective theory and lattice QCD, which are providing insights and predictions now being tested by experiment. An international effort at many laboratories will rapidly advance knowledge of this physics during the next decade.

description: Helicobacter pylori causes gastric inflammation, gland hyperplasia and is linked to gastric cancer. Here, we studied the interplay between gastric epithelial stem cells and their stromal niche under homeostasis and upon H. pylori infection. We find that gastric epithelial stem cell differentiation is orchestrated by subsets of stromal cells that either produce BMP inhibitors in the gland base, or BMP ligands at the surface. Exposure to BMP ligands promotes a feed-forward loop by inducing Bmp2 expression in the epithelial cells themselves, enforcing rapid lineage commitment to terminally differentiated mucous pit cells. H. pylori leads to a loss of stromal and epithelial Bmp2 expression and increases expression of BMP inhibitors, promoting self-renewal of stem cells and accumulation of gland base cells, which we mechanistically link to IFN-gamma signaling. Mice that lack IFN-gamma signaling show no alterations of BMP gradient upon infection, while exposure to IFN-gamma resembles H. pylori-driven mucosal responses.
