Subjects: subject: Applications (stat.AP)

description: In addition to the global parameter- and time-series-based approaches, physiological analyses should constitute a local temporal one, particularly when analyzing data within protocol segments. Hence, we introduce the R package implementing the estimation of temporal orders with a causal vector (CV). It may use linear modeling or time series distance. The algorithm was tested on cardiorespiratory data comprising tidal volume and tachogram curves, obtained from elite athletes (supine and standing, in static conditions) and a control group (different rates and depths of breathing, while supine). We checked the relation between CV and body position or breathing style. The rate of breathing had a greater impact on the CV than does the depth. The tachogram curve preceded the tidal volume relatively more when breathing was slower. Clinical relevance - The method can assess (1) relationships between two signals, having one of the two time-shifted in a given range, (2) curves of most optimal inter-signal shift, and (c) their stability across time; also for other physiological studies.

description: Is the devil dressed in greed? Greed stimulates corruption, which promotes self-alienation, facilitates systemic failure, worsens inequality, and generates false pledges and divide-and-conquer policies. Despite the United Nations’ (UN) existence for much of a century, most countries continue to exploit and compete for cheap labor, causing poverty rates to climb. Most UN member states and other affiliated and international organizations have institutionalized bad governance, corporate abuse, and social injustice to benefit themselves, thus committing institutional crimes and aiding the global elite in a vicious conspiratorial cycle. The entire UN system has harnessed a mafia-like culture of power with impunity in intermestic affairs to control human experience and generate authoritarian paradigms. This in turn stimulates psychological captivity, irrational preferences, and negative herd behavior and divides nations both internationally and domestically. A literature-based transdisciplinary study was conducted to substantiate these assertions and to propose feasible systemic solutions that point toward humanistic paradigms by cultivating psychological freedom and implementing good governance. In this way, the related cognitive processes can be systemically and intermestically amended while resolving the structural weaknesses of the UN, eliminating inequality, uniting nations internationally and domestically, and developing a peaceful, just, and sustainable world order. Is the devil dressed in greed? From greed, corruption gains, self-alienation dominates, the system fails, inequality exacerbates, and false pledges play the divide-and-conquer game. I wondered how governments worldwide are allowed to act as they please, while becoming increasingly involved in systemic failure, and still get away with it. The entire United Nations (UN) system and its greedy leaders are collectively responsible for harnessing a mafia-like culture of power to control the human experience and generate authoritarian paradigms. This, in turn, stimulates psychological captivity and negative herd behavior and divides nations both internationally and domestically. A transdisciplinary study was conducted to propose feasible solutions that point toward humanistic paradigms by cultivating psychological freedom and implementing good governance.

Re-visiting the correlation between movement of Chinese millet and painted pottery before the 2nd millennium BC

Eurasian prehistory

description: The current study has re-visited two distinctive patterns, namely pottery and millet, both of which conflict with conventional narratives concerning trans-Eurasian exchange. The significance of this lies beyond the simple matter of chronology, but rests on the relationship between the movement of agricultural resources and of other items of material culture. This in turn is related to the larger debate over whether the movements are stimulated by farmers without material culture (bottom up) or other populations of more prestigious status (top down). Specifically, in terms of the pottery pattern, my thesis has re-evaluated the pottery similarity between Cucuteni-Tripolye Culture, Anau-Namazga Culture and Yangshao Culture. Previous studies regarding this issue are limited by localised typological analyses and fragmented technological studies. Having had a comprehensive comparative study of all three cultures, my study confirms that there are both typological and technological similarities between Cucuteni-Tripolye pottery, Anau-Namazga pottery and Yangshao pottery, contradicting with previous arguments that the similarity lies in stylistic patterns alone. Also, there are both similarities and differences between the material culture context of the three pottery assemblages as well. As for the millet pattern, I have re-examined pre-2nd millennium BC charred millet grains and millet impressions by conducting two case studies. In particular, my review of pre-2nd millennium BC millet evidence from Europe contributes to a comprehensive record of early millet findings from Europe. Also, my simulation exercise of millet impressions, which has challenged previous identification criteria of millet impressions, provides invaluable reference for future work. My case study of Usatovo millet impressions re-examination confirms that there are indeed millet-dimensioned ‘voids' on Usatovo materials (3500-2900 BC) though details are lacking for species identification. I have also put the two patterns of pottery and millet into a vertical (historical) context by deconstructing ‘hyper-diffusionism’, ‘Eurocentrism’ and Andersson’s hypothesis, adding to the collective work in the field of archaeological history across the past hundred years.

description: En se saisissant de l’expérience d’enseignement à distance généré par le confinement décrété en réponse à la pandémie de COVID-19, ce travail propose une réflexion autour d’une pratique enseignante mutualisée et d’un enseignement situé – c’est-à-dire construit à partir de la situation vécue par les élèves. Globalement, l’effort didactique n’a pas été à la hauteur de cette situation déroutante, de ce défi inédit. En effet, la faible participation des élèves a témoigné d’une perte de sens et de l’apathie du savoir transmis. Il ne s’agit pourtant ni de voir une fatalité dans l’échec de l’enseignement à distance ni de refuser de tirer des leçons de cette période de crise. Précisément, la proposition de changement de perspective pédagogique (et de culture professionnelle) faite dans ce travail est rendue possible par la distance et la crise ; elle pourrait être effective en temps « normal ». Dans le cas de l’Histoire de l’art, cet appel à la mutualisation et à un enseignement situé s’ancre dans la pensée d’un picturial turn (Mitchell) et d’une philosophie de l’art « comme expérience » (Dewey).

description: In a recent Letter [Phys. Rev. Lett. 88, 256403(2002), cond-mat/0109158] Cazalilla and Marston proposed a time-dependent density- matrix renormalization group (TdDMRG) algorithm for the accurate evaluation of out-of-equilibrium properties of quantum many-body systems. For a point contact junction between two Luttinger liquids, a current oscillation develops after initial transient in the insulating regime. Here we would like to point out that (a) the observed oscillation is an artifact of the method; (b) the TdDMRG can be significantly improved by incorporating the non-equilibrium evolution of the goundstate into the density matrix.

description: Out of the fifteen 3 x 3 neutrino mass matrices with two texture zeros seven are compatible with the neutrino oscillation data. While 2 of them correspond to hierarchical neutrino masses and 1 to an inverted hierarchy, the remaining 4 correspond to degenerate masses. Moreover only the first 3 of the 7 mass matrices are compatible with the maximal mixing angle of atmospheric neutrino and hence favoured by data. We give compact expressions for mass matrices in terms of mass eigenvalues and study phenomenological implications for the 7 cases. Similarity of the textures of the neutrino, charged-lepton mass matrices with those of quark mass matrices is also discussed.

description: This paper explores how national culture and environmental awareness affect the recovery and utilization of recovered paper on country level. We extent models of previous studies by including a wide array of “softer” country level factors, e.g. Hofstede’s cultural dimensions and diffusion of ISO 14001 certificates. Our models are tested on panel data from 22 leading paperproducing countries in 1995-2008. Our empirical results further confirm the roles of geographical, demographic and essentially economic determinants but we are also able to empirically demonstrate that cultural characteristics and concern for the environment play a significant role.

description: We have determined the mass function of loose groups of galaxies in the Las Campanas Redshift Survey. Loose groups of galaxies in the LCRS range in mass from $M \sim 10^{12} {\rm M}_{\sun}$ to $10^{15} {\rm M}_{\sun}$. We find that the sample is almost complete for masses in the interval $5\cdot 10^{13}-8\cdot 10^{14} {\rm M}_{\sun}$. Comparison of the observed mass function with theoretical mass functions obtained from N-body simulations shows good agreement with a CDM model with the parameters $Ω_m = 0.3$, $Ω_Λ = 0.7$ and the amplitude of perturbations about $σ_8=0.78-0.87$. For smaller masses the mass function of LCRS loose groups flattens out, differing considerably from the group mass function found by Girardi and Giuricin (2000) and from mass functions obtained by numerical simulations.

description: In the context of the Government’s Climate and Energy Strategy, it is estimated that the primary use of wood-based fuels in Finland will be about 100 TWh by the year 2020. The overall target set for forest chips is 25 TWh. The objective of the research carried out by Metsäteho Oy and Pöyry Energy Oy was to produce as realistic as possible a total analysis of the possibilities of increasing the use of solid wood-based fuels, and especially forest chips, in Finland by 2020. The study showed that the growth objective set in the Government’s Climate and Energy Strategy can be attained through the supply and consumption of wood-based fuels. The emission trade had a strong influence on the competitiveness of wood-based fuels and the use of such fuels in energy plants. Increasing the proportion of wood-based fuels is very difficult at the current pricing level of emission rights (about 15 €/t CO2). Considering the huge resources required by the forest chip production system and the current low competitiveness of forest chips, it is estimated that the use of forest chips in Finland will reach the level of 20 TWh at the earliest by the year 2020.

description: Even in the presence of conservation laws, one can perform arbitrary transformations on a system if given access to a suitable reference frame, since conserved quantities may be exchanged between the system and the frame. Here we explore whether these quantities can be separated into different parts of the reference frame, with each part acting as a `battery' for a distinct quantity. For systems composed of spin-$\frac12$ particles, we show that the components of angular momentum $S_x$, $S_y$ and $S_z$ (non-commuting conserved quantities) may be separated in this way, and also provide several extensions of this result. These results also play a key role in the quantum thermodynamics of non-commuting conserved quantities.

These giant explosions cause the star to increase its brightness by hundreds of thousands of times then making these objects powerful standard candles useful to measure the extragalactic distances.We have used the Very Large Telescope, located in the Chilean Atacama desert, to search for novae in NGC 1316--an early type galaxy in the Fornax cluster. We discovered 4 novae with 3h of observing time. The use of 8-10m class telescopes coupled with new detectors, can dramatically improve the efficiency of nova searches in extragalactic systems.

Adaptive Metamorphic Testing with Contextual Bandits

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Software Engineering (cs.SE)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Metamorphic Testing is a software testing paradigm which aims at using necessary properties of a system-under-test, called metamorphic relations, to either check its expected outputs, or to generate new test cases. Metamorphic Testing has been successful to test programs for which a full oracle is not available or to test programs for which there are uncertainties on expected outputs such as learning systems. In this article, we propose Adaptive Metamorphic Testing as a generalization of a simple yet powerful reinforcement learning technique, namely contextual bandits, to select one of the multiple metamorphic relations available for a program. By using contextual bandits, Adaptive Metamorphic Testing learns which metamorphic relations are likely to transform a source test case, such that it has higher chance to discover faults. We present experimental results over two major case studies in machine learning, namely image classification and object detection, and identify weaknesses and robustness boundaries. Adaptive Metamorphic Testing efficiently identifies weaknesses of the tested systems in context of the source test case.

description: This paper considers the effects of CO2 emission trading system on the substitution between coal and energy wood in the large scale heat and power production in Europe. We use a technology-based approach where the substitution between coal and wood takes place through switch from one technology to another over time. The analysis is conducted with the EUFASOM (European Forest and Agricultural Sector Optimization Model). Our results suggest that the CO2 emission trading system gives incentives for heat and power plants to increase energy wood demand in the limits of energy wood potential.

description: We derive two classes of brane-world solutions arising in the presence of a bulk scalar field. For static field configurations, we adopt a time-dependent, factorizable metric ansatz that allows for radion stabilization. The solutions are characterized by a non-trivial warping along the extra dimension, even in the case of a vanishing bulk cosmological constant, and lead to a variety of inflationary, time-dependent solutions of the 3D scale factor on the brane. We also derive the constraints necessary for the stability of these solutions under time-dependent perturbations of the radion field, and we demonstrate the existence of phenomenologically interesting, stable solutions with a positive cosmological constant on the brane.

description: In a world increasingly dominated by mass food production and global food chains, the search for sustainable and locally sourced alternatives is crucial. This study investigates the impact of alternative food networks (AFNs) in Romania, focusing on their potential as sustainable counterpoints to the global fast-food economy. Existing global food regimes are characterized by neoliberal accumulation and lack viability at national and local levels, with recent farmer protests across Europe highlighting the need for sustainable solutions. By combining quantitative and qualitative methods, this study examines the nature and dynamics of AFNs in Romania and the influence of urban-rural interactions on their evolution. The findings reveal the importance of collective solutions for current food systems and the pivotal role of urban-rural synergies in shaping short food supply chains. The study highlights the benefits of advocating for sustainable food production practices and the need for direct and efficient food distribution in Romania. Ultimately, this research underscores the significance of AFNs in fostering sustainable food systems in post-communist Romania, providing valuable insights and recommendations for future initiatives aimed at promoting sustainable and locally sourced food.

description: This thesis examines the publishing history of Algernon Charles Swinburne during his lifetime (1837-1909). The first chapter presents a detailed narrative from his first book in 1860 to the mid 1870s: it includes the scandal of 'Poems and Ballads' in 1866; his subsequent relations with the somewhat dubious John Camden Hotten; and then his search to find another publisher who was to be Andrew Chatto, with whom Swinburne published for the rest of his life. It is followed by a chapter which looks at the tidal wave of criticism generated by Poems and Ballads but which continued long after, and shows how Swinburne responded. The third and central chapter turns to consider the periodical press, important throughout his career not just for reviewing but also as a very significant medium for publishing poetry. Chapter 4 on marketing looks closely at the business of producing and of selling Swinburne’s output. Finally Chapter 5 deals with some aspects of his career after the move to Putney, and shows that while Theodore Watts, his friend and in effect his agent, was making conscious efforts to reshape the poet, some of Swinburne’s interests were moving with the tide of public taste; how this was demonstrated in particular by his volume of Selections and how his poetic oeuvre was finally consolidated in the Collected Edition at the end of his life. The thesis shows that popular interest was mainly on his earlier poetry, and suggests his high contemporary reputation (which was not fully reflected in sales) was maintained by the periodical press.

description: The focus of my PhD thesis is on exploring parallel approaches to efficiently solve problems modeled by constraints and presenting a new proposal. Current solvers are very advanced; they are carefully designed to effectively manage the high-level problems' description and include refined strategies to avoid useless work. Despite this, finding a solution can take an unacceptable amount of time. Parallelization can mitigate this problem when the instance of the problem modeled is large, as it happens in real world problems. It is done by propagating constraints in parallel and concurrently exploring different parts of the search space. I am developing on a constraint solver that exploits the many cores available on Graphics Processing Units (GPU) to speed up the search.

description: Designers need knowledge about peoples’ perceptions, based on sensory examinations of wood. This study describes results of a combined tactile and visual perceptional assessment of five common wood species in Sweden. The species were graded with regard to ten words. Differences in ratings between tactile and visual inspections were compared and main differentiating words, in tactile and visual inspection respectively, were identified. For some species like pine the differences between visual and tactile inspections vary greatly whereas birch was more coherently perceived across examination model. Visual inspections created clearer differences between the studied wood species than tactile inspections. The results provide information about the most appropriate species designers should select when aiming to achieve specific goals concerning the message or ‘expression’ of the product. This study indicates applications of product semantics and sensory analysis in wood design. Topics for continued studies are discussed.

description: From the entropy argument for the dS swampland conjecture which connects the Gibbons-Hawking entropy bound with the distance conjecture, we find the entropic quasi-dS instability time given by $1/(\sqrt{ε_H}H)\log(m_{\rm Pl}/H)$ as the lifetime of quasi-dS spacetime. It depends on the slow-roll parameter, and contains the logarithmic factor $\log(m_{\rm Pl}/H)$ which can be found in the scrambling (or decoherence) time as well. Such a logarithmic factor enhances the geodesic distance of the modulus from the mere Planck scale, and also possibly relaxes the bound on $m_{\rm Pl}^2 \nabla^2 V/V$.

description: We apply a friends-of-friends algorithm to the combined UZC and SSRS2 redshift surveys to construct a catalog of 1168 groups of galaxies; 411 of these groups have 5 or more members within the redshift survey. The group catalog covers 4.69 steradians and all groups exceed a number density contrast threshold of 80. We demonstrate that the groups catalog is homogeneous across the two underlying redshift surveys; the catalog of groups and their members thus provides a basis for other statistical studies of the large-scale distribution of groups and their physical properties. The median physical properties of the groups are similar to those for groups derived from independent surveys including the ESO Key Programme and the Las Campanas Redshift Survey. We include tables of groups and their members.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

Testing Dimensional Reduction in SU(2) Gauge Theory

description: At high temperature, every $(d+1)$-dimensional theory can be reformulated as an effective theory in $d$ dimensions. We test the numerical accuracy of this Dimensional Reduction for (3+1)-dimensional SU(2) by comparing perturbatively determined effective couplings with lattice results as the temperature is progressively lowered. We observe an increasing disagreement between numerical and perturbative values from $T=4 T_c$ downwards, which may however be due to somewhat different implementations of dimensional reduction in the two cases.

description: In China, the concept of Museum Night Opening, which involves keeping museums open to the public beyond regular daytime hours, has gained popularity since its inception in 2019. However, its implementation has posed both social benefits and operational challenges. This study aims to develop management strategies for Museum Night Opening in China, using a regional perspective centered on Shanghai. A systematic review of Shanghai cases spanning from 2007 to August 2023 was conducted for the development status. A SWOT-TWOS analysis was further employed for the development environment and management strategies. The internal management strategies (WO & WT) emphasize aspects such as human resources, finance, and materials to ensure smooth night operations. Meanwhile, the external management strategies (SO & ST) focus on the audience orientation and crossover collaboration to enhance nighttime experiences. Through management strategy planning, Chinese museums can establish Museum Night Opening as a high-quality initiative in a sustainable manner.

description: Maximally entangled bipartite unitary operators or gates find various applications from quantum information to being building blocks of minimal models of many-body quantum chaos, and have been referred to as "dual unitaries". Dual unitary operators that can create the maximum average entanglement when acting on product states have to satisfy additional constraints. These have been called "2-unitaries" and are examples of perfect tensors that can be used to construct absolutely maximally entangled states of four parties. Hitherto, no systematic method exists, in any local dimension, which result in the formation of such special classes of unitary operators. We outline an iterative protocol, a nonlinear map on the space of unitary operators, that creates ensembles whose members are arbitrarily close to being dual unitaries, while for qutrits and ququads we find that a slightly modified protocol yields a plethora of 2-unitaries. We further characterize the dual unitary operators via their entangling power and the 2-unitaries via the distribution of entanglement created from unentangled states.

description: We deduce the particle distributions in particle collisions with multihadron-production in the framework of mechanical statistics. They are derived as functions of x, P_T^2 and the rest mass of different species for a fixed total number of all produced particles, inelasticity and total transverse energy. For P_T larger than the mass of each particle we get the behaviour \frac{dn_i}{dP_T} \sim \sqrt{P_T} e^{-\frac{P_T}{T_H}} Values of _π, _K, and _{\bar{p}} in agreement with experiment are found by taking T_H=180MeV (the Hagedorn temperature).

HeI 1.083 micron emission and absorption in DG Tau: line excitation in jet, hot wind, and accretion flow

description: We present long-slit spectroscopy and spectro-astrometry of HeI 1.083 micron emission in the T Tauri star, DG Tau. We identify three components in the HeI feature: (1) a blueshifted emission component atv -200 km s^-1, (2) a bright emission component at zero-velocity with a FWZI of ~500 km s^-1, and (3) a blueshifted absorption feature at velocities between -250 and -500 km s^-1. The position and velocity of the blueshifted HeI emission coincide with a high-velocity component (HVC) of the [FeII] 1.257 micron emission, which arises from a jet within an arcsecond of the star. The presence of such a high excitation line (excitation energy ~ 20 eV) within the jet supports the scenario of shock heating. The bright HeI component does not show any spatial extension, and it is likely to arise from magnetospheric accretion columns. The blueshifted absorption shows greater velocities than that in H-alpha, suggesting that these absorption features arise from the accelerating wind close to the star.

Performance analysis of bioanode materials and the study of the metabolic activity of Rhodopseudomonas palustris in photo-bioelectrochemical systems

description: A sustainable and low-cost system, namely a photo-bioelectrochemical system (photo-BES), based on the natural blueprint of photosynthetic microorganisms was studied. The aim of this research work is to improve the efficiency of electron transfer of the microorganisms for bioelectricity generation. The first strategy adopted was the evaluation of the exoelectrogenic activity of oxygenic photosynthetic cyanobaterium, Synechococcus elongatus PCC 7942, in biophotovoltaic (BPV) platforms through a comparative performance analysis of bioanode materials. The second approach involved improving the performance of anoxygenic photosynthetic bacterium, Rhodopseudomonas palustris ATCC® 17001™, by varying the ratio of nitrogen to carbon sources (N:C) to maximise both biohydrogen production and exoelectrogenesis for conversion into bioelectricity in photosynthetic microbial fuel cells (photoMFCs). A linear correlation was obtained between average surface roughness/surface area and maximum power density of ITO-coated and graphene/ITO-coated substrates. Graphene/ITO-coated PET bioanodes produced the highest maximum power output of 29±4 μW m-2 in a single chamber BPV device due to improved biofilm formation and improved electrochemical activity. XG Leaf®, also known as graphene paper, helped to bridge the shortcomings of carbon fibres in terms of wettability. The most hydrophilic, 240 μm thick graphene paper, produced the highest maximum power output of 393±20 μW m-2 in a membrane electrode assembly (MEA)-type BPV device, mainly due to reduced electrochemical polarisation. A proof of concept study compared the performance of screen-printed graphene onto a membrane separator against 3D-printed bioanodes coated with carbon nanotubes. One mm thick 3D-printed bioanode was better performing as its structures promoted a much denser biofilm with extensive fibrous extracellular matrix. Using a ratio of N:C=0.20 resulted in higher biohydrogen production and higher exoelectrogenic activity, generating a maximum power output of 361±157 mW m-2 and 2.39±0.13 mW m-2, respectively. This study provided additional insight in improving the electron transfer efficiency, which could be used to further optimise photo-BESs as part of future research and development for sustainable technologies.
