description: PSR J1814-1744 is a 4 s radio pulsar with surface dipole magnetic field strength 5.5*10^13 G, inferred assuming simple magnetic dipole braking. This pulsar's spin parameters are very similar to those of anomalous X-ray pulsars (AXPs), suggesting that this may be a transition object between the radio pulsar and AXP population, if AXPs are isolated, high magnetic field neutron stars as has recently been hypothesized. We present archival X-ray observations of PSR J1814-1744 made with ROSAT and ASCA. X-ray emission is not detected from the position of the radio pulsar. The derived upper flux limit implies an X-ray luminosity significantly smaller than those of all known AXPs. This conclusion is insensitive to the possibility that X-ray emission from PSR J1814-1744 is beamed or that it undergoes modest variability. When interpreted in the context of the magnetar mechanism, these results argue that X-ray emission from AXPs must depend on more than merely the inferred surface magnetic field strength. This suggests distinct evolutionary paths for radio pulsars and AXP, despite their proximity in period--period derivative phase space.

description: Two-dimensional materials have proven to be a prolific breeding ground of new and unstudied forms of magnetism and unusual metallic states, particularly when tuned between their insulating and metallic phases. In this paper we present work on a new metal to insulator transition system FePS$_3$ . This compound is a two-dimensional van-der-Waals antiferromagnetic Mott insulator. Here we report the discovery of an insulator-metal transition in FePS$_3$, as evidenced by x-ray diffraction and electrical transport measurements, using high pressure as a tuning parameter. Two structural phase transitions are observed in the x-ray diffraction data as a function of pressure and resistivity measurements show evidence of onset of a metallic state at high pressures. We propose models for the two new structures that can successfully explain the x-ray diffraction patterns.

description: Multiple sequence alignment (MSA) is the basis for almost all sequence comparison and molecular phylogenetic inferences. Large-scale genomic analyses are typically associated with automated progressive MSA without subsequent manual adjustment, which itself is often error-prone because of the lack of a consistent and explicit criterion. Here, I outlined several commonly encountered alignment errors that cannot be avoided by progressive MSA for nucleotide, amino acid, and codon sequences. Methods that could be automated to fix such alignment errors were then presented. I emphasized the utility of position weight matrix as a new tool for MSA refinement and illustrated its usage by refining the MSA of nucleotide and amino acid sequences. The main advantages of the position weight matrix approach include (1) its use of information from all sequences, in contrast to other commonly used methods based on pairwise alignment scores and inconsistency measures, and (2) its speedy computation, making it suitable for a large number of long viral genomic sequences.

description: We analyze the clustering properties of a high-resolution (~10 km/s) sample of about 1600 Lyman-alpha lines in the spectra of 15 quasars, obtained in the framework of an ESO key-programme with the addition of literature data. The two-point correlation function in the velocity space shows a significant signal on small velocity scales (Delta v < 300 km/s) with amplitude and significance increasing with increasing column density. The correlation scale at z~3 turns out to be 200 - 300 h_{50}^{-1} kpc. A trend of increasing correlation with decreasing redshift is apparent. The existence of over- and under-densities on scales of a few tens of Megaparsec is confirmed with a high confidence level and a number of possible structures are identified. The present observations are found to be consistent with models of gravitationally induced correlations. A continuity scenario between Lyman-alpha and metal systems emerges, with a suggested physical association between the Lyman-$α$ clouds with log N_{HI} > 14 and the halos of protogalactic systems.

description: Methods to assess individual facial actions have potential to shed light on important behavioral phenomena ranging from emotion and social interaction to psychological disorders and health. However, manual coding of such actions is labor intensive and requires extensive training. To date, establishing reliable automated coding of unscripted facial actions has been a daunting challenge impeding development of psychological theories and applications requiring facial expression assessment. It is therefore essential that automated coding systems be developed with enough precision and robustness to ease the burden of manual coding in challenging data involving variation in participant gender, ethnicity, head pose, speech, and occlusion. We report a major advance in automated coding of spontaneous facial actions during an unscripted social interaction involving three strangers. For each participant (n = 80, 47 % women, 15 % Nonwhite), 25 facial action units (AUs) were manually coded from video using the Facial Action Coding System. Twelve AUs occurred more than 3 % of the time and were processed using automated FACS coding. Automated coding showed very strong reliability for the proportion of time that each AU occurred (mean intraclass correlation = 0.89), and the more stringent criterion of frame-by-frame reliability was moderate to strong (mean Matthew's correlation = 0.61). With few exceptions, differences in AU detection related to gender, ethnicity, pose, and average pixel intensity were small. Fewer than 6 % of frames could be coded manually but not automatically. These findings suggest automated FACS coding has progressed sufficiently to be applied to observational research in emotion and related areas of study.

Bottleneck crossover between classical and quantum superfluid turbulence

description: We consider superfluid turbulence near absolute zero of temperature generated by classical means, e.g. towed grid or rotation but not by counterflow. We argue that such turbulence consists of a {\em polarized} tangle of mutually interacting vortex filaments with quantized vorticity. For this system we predict and describe a bottleneck accumulation of the energy spectrum at the classical-quantum crossover scale $\ell$. Demanding the same energy flux through scales, the value of the energy at the crossover scale should exceed the Kolmogorov-41 spectrum by a large factor $\ln^{10/3} (\ell/a_0)$ ($\ell$ is the mean intervortex distance and $a_0$ is the vortex core radius) for the classical and quantum spectra to be matched in value. One of the important consequences of the bottleneck is that it causes the mean vortex line density to be considerably higher that based on K41 alone, and this should be taken into account in (re)interpretation of new (and old) experiments as well as in further theoretical studies.

description: In this paper we report on the first five out of eleven observations in our programme of Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging of old nova shells. We present new WFPC2 images of the shells around FH Ser and V533 Her taken in the F656N (Halpha+[NII]) filter. We also show long-slit spectra taken using the William Herschel Telescope (WHT) in La Palma for these objects in the same spectral range. The shell around FH Ser is found to be a prolate ellipsoid of ellipticity 1.3 +/- 0.1 inclined at 62 +/- 4 deg to the line of sight. The shell has an equatorial ring which is found to be due to increased emission in the two [NII] lines rather than Halpha. The expansion velocity, systemic velocity and distance are found to be 490 +/- 20 km/s, -45 km/s and 950 +/- 50 pc. The origin of the [NII] equatorial ring is discussed in the context of a photoionization feature resulting from aspherical illumination by the central source rather than a simple density enhancement. It is possible however that the ring is also in part due to an extremely localised increase in the nitrogen abundance. Similar imaging and spectroscopy of the nova V533 Her reveal a shell of radius 5 +/- 0.7 arcsec with an axial ratio of 1.2 +/- 0.2, expansion velocity of 850 +/- 150 km/s and distance 1250 +/- 300 pc. The shells around BT Mon, DK Lac and V476 Cyg were not detected with HST.

description: The NOMAD project focuses on producing a rover capable of autonomously searching for and classifying Antarctic meteorites. The rover is equipped with a sensor array and a network of software modules, the Science/Autonomy system, which work in conjunction to enable the rover in its aforementioned task. The sensor manager is a communications interface between the sensor array and the higher-level decision making modules of the Science/Autonomy system. The use of the sensor manager in the system simplifies the system’s communications web while making the details of sensor operation and control transparent to the higher level modules. The current implementation of the sensor manager uses a sensor class to give the sensor hardware a representation in software, which changes to reflect the current status of the sensor as it runs through a series of operations. NDDS is used for communication with the sensor manager. Future implementations will give the sensor manager a decision making capability with respect to which sensor to use under a given set of circumstances.

description: In this paper we further study the 1d Schwarzian theory, the universal low-energy limit of Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev models, using the link with 2d Liouville theory. We provide a path-integral derivation of the structural link between both theories, and study the relation between 3d gravity, 2d Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity, 2d Liouville and the 1d Schwarzian. We then generalize the Schwarzian double-scaling limit to rational models, relevant for SYK-type models with internal symmetries. We identify the holographic gauge theory as a 2d BF theory and compute correlators of the holographically dual 1d particle-on-a-group action, decomposing these into diagrammatic building blocks, in a manner very similar to the Schwarzian theory.

description: We report the observation by the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory of a spectacular flare of radio source PKS 1622-297. A peak flux of 17E-6 cm^-2 s^-1 (E > 100 MeV) was observed. The corresponding isotropic luminosity is 2.9E49 erg/s. We find that PKS 1622-297 exhibits gamma-ray intra-day variability. A flux increase by a factor of at least 3.6 was observed to occur in less than 7.1 hours (with 99% confidence). Assuming an exponential rise, the corresponding doubling time is less than 3.8 hours. A significant flux decrease by a factor of ~2 in 9.7 hours was also observed. Without beaming, the rapid flux change and large isotropic luminosity are inconsistent with the Elliot-Shapiro condition (assuming that gas accretion is the immediate source of power for the gamma-rays). This inconsistency suggests that the gamma-ray emission is beamed. A minimum Doppler factor of 8.1 is implied by the observed lack of pair-production opacity (assuming x-rays are emitted co-spatially with the gamma-rays). Simultaneous observation by EGRET and OSSE finds a spectrum adequately fit by a power law with photon index of -1.9. Although the significance is not sufficient to establish this beyond doubt, the high-energy gamma-ray spectrum appears to evolve from hard to soft as a flare progresses.

description: This paper explores the use of volumetric features for action recognition. First, we propose a novel method to correlate spatio-temporal shapes to video clips that have been automatically segmented. Our method works on oversegmented videos, which means that we do not require background subtraction for reliable object segmentation. Next, we discuss and demonstrate the complementary nature of shape- and flow-based features for action recognition. Our method, when combined with a recent flow-based correlation technique, can detect a wide range of actions in video, as demonstrated by results on a long tennis video. Although not specifically designed for whole-video classification, we also show that our method’s performance is competitive with current action classification techniques on a standard video classification dataset.

There exist integers $k, t$ such that every vertically $k$-connected matroid in $\mathcal{M}$ is a rank-$(\leq t)$ perturbation of a frame matroid or the dual of a frame matroid over $\mathrm{GF}(q)$. They further announced a characterization of the perturbations through the introduction of subfield templates and frame templates. We show a family of dyadic matroids that form a counterexample to this result. We offer several weaker conjectures to replace the ones in [3], discuss consequences for some published papers, and discuss the impact of these new conjectures on the structure of frame templates.

description: Detection and tracking humans in videos have been long-standing problems in computer vision. Most successful approaches (e.g., deformable parts models) heavily rely on discriminative models to build appearance detectors for body joints and generative models to constrain possible body configurations (e.g., trees). While these 2D models have been successfully applied to images (and with less success to videos), a major challenge is to generalize these models to cope with camera views. In order to achieve view-invariance, these 2D models typically require a large amount of training data across views that is difficult to gather and time-consuming to label. Unlike existing 2D models, this paper formulates the problem of human detection in videos as spatio-temporal matching (STM) between a 3D motion capture model and trajectories in videos. Our algorithm estimates the camera view and selects a subset of tracked trajectories that matches the motion of the 3D model. The STM is efficiently solved with linear programming, and it is robust to tracking mismatches, occlusions and outliers. To the best of our knowledge this is the first paper that solves the correspondence between video and 3D motion capture data for human pose detection. Experiments on the CMU motion capture, Human3.6M, Berkeley MHAD and CMU MAD databases illustrate the benefits of our method over state-of-the-art approaches.

description: Spatial queries involving trajectories of moving objects are fundamental in a variety of domains. For example, we may wish to determine which points or regions to which an object passes "close." In this paper, we consider a large-scale version of this type of problem. Given many trajectories and spatial regions, we want to efficiently find all pairs of regions and trajectories such that the trajectory passes through the region. Below we present several data structures and algorithms to efficiently solve this problem. We adapt data structures and algorithms from tracking and computer graphics to work on higher dimensional data sets with nonlinear tracks. These algorithms provide a significant speedup over a simple brute force approach. We also introduce a new data structure and algorithm that can significantly outperform previous approaches for queries with many tracks. Further, we introduce a novel dual-tree approach that combines the advantages of both an observation-based data structure and a track-based data structure to provide consistently good performance over a wide range of queries.
Per la costruzione di un pluralismo sostenibile nel rapporto tra diritto e scienze della vita
Creators: name: Busatta, Lucia
Publisher: name: University of Trento
Year: 2016
Subjects: Pluralisms; Jurisdiction; Moral values; Scientific development; Biolaw

description: The law focusing on life sciences and on human health is characterised by significant tensions that oppose the need for unity and certainty of the legal order, on the one hand, and pressures for the acknowledgement of different moral values and visions, on the other hand. It is also a field in which the speed of scientific development continuously requires law-makers and judges to “adapt” the legal framework to new needs and possibilities. Given this context, the paper offers an analysis of the relationship between legislation and jurisdiction organised into three main categories, in which the starting point is represented by the legislative approach. Depending on the level of “rigidity” or “flexibility” of the legislation with respect to the acknowledgement of individual moral values and to the integration of the scientific dimension at a normative level, the role of jurisdiction might significantly vary. In a scheme in which the law-maker tends to deny or refuse pluralism, the jurisdiction is called to guarantee the necessary equilibrium among the different components of the society. Differently, in the case of a “inactive” law-maker (second category), judicial interventions are fundamental in giving an answer to needs and issues arising at a scientific and social level in the absence of a specific regulation. Finally, even if the different levels of pluralisms find legislative protection, courts might open the way to new rights or new individual position that deserve protection by the legal order. The aim of the paper is to identify the main features of a sustainable model of pluralism, in which both law-makers and judges contribute together to the equal guarantee of constitutionally relevant values and in which the legal order is able to constantly keep the pace with scientific development.

Pourquoi l’affaire Lambert n’en finit pas

Subjects: Unconscious patient; End of life decision; Collegial procedure; Leonetti law; France

description: The Lambert case is a particularly dramatic end-of-life case that has fueled numerous judicial decisions since 2010, including the French Supreme administrative court and the European Court of Human Rights. The contentious point lies in the application of the 2005 law on patients’ rights at the end of life (loi Leonetti) – a law that foresees the possibility for a group of physicians to take the decision to withdraw treatment that merely artificially prolongs a patient’s life when he/she has become incapable of expressing his/her consent. While much of the public debate over the case has focused on the issue of the specificity of artificial nutrition and hydration, or on the moral admissibility of such end of life decisions, this paper argues that the flaw is mainly procedural: by envisaging a solely medical decision (i.e. one that does not include the patient’s will, directly or indirectly), the 2005 law creates a procedure whose legitimacy is weak at best -and thus unlikely to appear acceptable in a situation like Lambert’s, where there is strong family division over the issue.

Protecting the rights of Filipina Migrant Workers: An analysis of bilateral labour agreements between the Philippines and Canada
Creators: name: Le Nguyen, Rosaleen
Publisher: name: My University
Year: 2023

description: The Philippines is one of the largest labour sending countries in the world, sending a large number of migrant workers abroad every year, including Canada. As such, the Philippines has created and implemented labour export policies to address the protection of its workers’ rights abroad. One of the tools the Philippines utilizes to ensure this are bilateral agreements with a select number of receiving countries. This paper will examine how pursuant Canadian bilateral agreements are with respect to Filipina migrant workers rights as established in the The Migrant Workers and Overseas Act. This will be achieved through the analysis of bilateral labour agreements between the Philippines and Canada in reflection of the Philippines’ labour migration export policies, namely the Migrant and Overseas Workers Act. By conducting a policy analysis of the Memorandum of Understandings (MOU) between the Philippines and Manitoba, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and Yukon, this paper highlights the lack of enforcement of the protection of Filipino migrant workers’ rights and gender sensitive elements in the agreements, important elements of the Migrant and Overseas Workers Act. The reality of Filipina workers’ rights in Canada are discussed despite the existence of these MOUs. Keywords: The Philippines, TFWP, labour migration, immigration, gendered migrant rights, bilateral labour agreements, labour export policies.

Detection of Compact Nuclear X-Ray Emission in NGC 4736

description: We report the results from a deep ROSAT PSPC observation of LINER galaxy NGC 4736. Two bright sources are detected, separated by only about 1', with the brighter one coinciding with the center of the galaxy. Neither source shows apparent X-ray variability on time-scales of minutes to hours in the ROSAT band. Simple power-law models, typical of AGN X-ray spectra, produce poor fits to the observed X-ray spectrum of the nuclear source. The addition of a Raymond-Smith component improves the fits significantly. This is consistent with the presence of hot gas in the nuclear region with kT=~0.3 keV, in addition to a compact nuclear source. However, a careful examination of the residuals reveal apparent features at low energies (< 0.25 keV). We find that the addition of a narrow emission line at about 0.22 keV is a significant improvement to the parameterization of the spectrum. We examine the results in the light of the accuracy of the PSPC spectral calibration. The derived photon index is about 2.3, which is similar to those for Seyfert 1 galaxies measured in the ROSAT energy range. On the other hand, the 0.1-2 keV luminosity for the compact source is only about 3.4x10^{39} erg/s, much fainter than typical Seyfert galaxies. We discuss the implications of these results on the connection between LINERs and AGNs. The off-center source is transient in nature. It has a hard X-ray spectrum, with a photon index of about 1.5, so is likely to be an X-ray binary. There is still some ambiguity regarding its association with the galaxy. If it is indeed located in the galaxy, the 0.1-2 keV luminosity would be greater than 5.1x10^{38} erg/s, making it a stellar-mass black hole candidate.

description: Soon some of these kshatriya crossed the Vindhya - Narmadā barrier; trade was probably the major force driving them south. We have earlier talked about cattle caravans from Indus valley travelling to and back from the vaḍukar country. [The Vaḍukar, The Kshatriya And The Brāmhaṇa, 11 Jun 17] Over time the trade led to a more thorough mixing of the kshatriya with the vaḍukar. Most of the kshatriya that we find in Konkan, and in the Deccan as a whole, in the next few millennia, and today, probably owe their origin to this miscegenation. Some from this new breed of kshatriya, whom we call the ‘deccan chaadd’ddi’, descended into the Konkan coast around 1,000 BCE, possibly driven by a drought; these are the kshatriya that Crawford and Arcamone talk about. [The Pastoralists of Deccan, 19 Mar 17; Crawford, 1909 : Legends Of The Konkan, 25; Fernandes, 1981:Uma Descrição e Relação de ‘De Sasatana Peninsula in Indiae Statu’ Textus Inediti, 93] I believe my ancestors were among these.
The International Rise of Far-Right Movements and Its Impact on Canada

description: Radical conservative movements that have gained significant popularity throughout Europe and the United States have put immense pressure on the stability and legitimacy of liberal democratic states and institutions. The conglomeration of far-right groups varies along the spectrum of radical (democratic) to extreme (anti-democratic) to fascist and violent, but all of which share a political sociology under the term ‘New Right’ – and that is their disdain for the liberal international order and desire to redefine conservative politics (whether that be through preserving European ethnocultural identity and opposing immigration, or reasserting white dominance and homogeneity through authoritarianism). This paper explores the various groups, ideologies and political tools used by the far-right to better understand why and how they mobilize in an attempt to weaken liberal societies. Canada is often assumed to be protected from the divisive effects of nationalist populism and disinformation campaigns due to its strong institutions and multicultural identity. However, the rise of the far-right has been festering in Canada for years and the detrimental impact of the pandemic, as well as the government’s political mishaps, have given these groups ample opportunity to embolden and radicalize people. The recent unfolding of the Freedom Convoy in Ottawa transformed from a truckers’ protest challenging public health mandates that took away peoples’ freedoms, to an anti-Trudeau/anti-government occupation calling for the resignation of government officials. The occupation of downtown Ottawa lasted three weeks and ignited protests and border blockades across Canada and throughout the world. The in-depth analysis uncovers the roots of the movement, how it unfolded over the 3-week course and what the responses were from the public, police and government. I also explore its interconnections with the transnational far-right, as well as its implications for Canadian society, security and democracy.

Accanimento terapeutico o eutanasia per abbandono del paziente? Il caso Lambert e la Corte di Strasburgo

Publisher: name: University of Trento
Year: 2015
Subjects: Council of Europe, fundamental rights, disproportionate treatment, therapeutic abstention, euthanasia, vegetative state, artificial nutrition and hydration, principles of beneficence and non‑maleficence, precautionary principle

description: The study focuses on the case of Vincent Lambert, a patient in a vegetative state for which the Grand Chamber (European Court of Human Rights), has confirmed the decision of the French Council of State to withdraw artificial nutrition because this represents an unreasonable obstinacy. However, following a second consultation with the doctors, it was considered appropriate to continue the nutrition, showing that the previous decision is questionable and that the precautionary principle would be more appropriate in bioethical issues. Through the analysis of several documents, the author shows the importance of distinguishing between euthanasia and assisted suicide on the one hand, and therapeutic abstention on the other. The author agrees with dissenting opinion from the Grand Chamber judges and considers that the interruption of the nutrition to patients in a vegetative state is a form of euthanasia and this is in contrast with the directions of Council of Europe and Italian Constitutional principles. Deprivation of food and water, indeed, with the effect of causing the death, based on poor prognosis, is incompatible with the principle of equality and with the principle of recognition of the inalienable rights to every man.

Il diritto all’obiezione di coscienza all’aborto nel Regno Unito. Nota a Greater Glasgow Health Board v. Doogan and another [2014] UKSC 68
Creators: name: Paris, Davide
Publisher: name: University of Trento
Year: 2015
Subjects: Conscientious objection; Abortion Act 1967; Midwife; Participation in treatment; Human Rights Act

description: In its Doogan judgment of 17 December 2014 the UK Supreme Court expressed its view on the scope of the right of conscientious objection granted by section 4 of the Abortion Act 1967. The Court maintained that conscientious objectors are only exempted from “hands-on” participation in an abortion and not from managerial tasks and general nursing care. The judgment is in line with the general trend of other supreme or constitutional courts in Europe that supports a narrow interpre-tation of conscience-based exemptions in abortion laws. This judgment’s distinguishing feature is its technical approach, aimed at deciding what the Abortion Act’s section means “according to the ordinary principles of statutory construction”, without speculating on the broader consequences of taking a wide or a narrow view of this section. Still the Court’s narrow interpretation is counterbalanced by the statement that, even if not protected by the Abortion Act’s conscience clause, the petitioners’ right of conscientious objection can nevertheless be claimed either under the Human Rights Act or under the Equality Act, according to the specific context of the petition.
