description: We argue that, when establishing and benchmarking Machine Learning (ML) models, the research community should favour evaluation metrics that better capture the value delivered by their model in practical applications. For a specific class of use cases -- selective classification -- we show that not only can it be simple enough to do, but that it has import consequences and provides insights what to look for in a ``good'' ML model.

Jews and crypto-Jews in sixteenth and seventeenth century England
Creators: name: Hessayon, Ariel
Publisher: name: Cromohs - Cyber Review of Modern Historiography
Year: 2013

description: There are many narratives, some old, some relatively recent, covering the presence of crypto-Jews and Jews in England during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. I have tried, specifically with non-specialists and general readers in mind, to give an overview of that story here. Given this essay ’s origin as a public lecture commemorating the 350th anniversary of the tacit readmission of Jews to England in 1656, my account has a particular focus on developments during the English Revolution of 1641–60, though it is also positioned within a more ambitious grand narrative recounting the Jewish, crypto-Jewish and Jewish apostate experience in England from the Norman Conquest to the Restoration.
While I have drawn on my own research – notably on Judaizing, readers familiar with the material will see that my text is also greatly indebted to a number of important scholars in the field of Anglo-Jewish history; something fully acknowledged in the endnotes. Indeed, there is another story to tell, namely how from the mid-nineteenth century scholars of Anglo-Jewry, desiring acceptance within British society and the legitimation of their distinctive history, collectively constructed a narrative of gradual social assimilation and communal unity. But that these histories were themselves written against a background of religious and racial prejudice, exclusion, marginalisation, tensions and conflict, as well as the disturbing continuity of antisemitic tropes, is itself revealing. Intended as a companion piece to this article, my discussion of the evolution of Anglo-Jewish historiography will appear elsewhere shortly.

description: We report on a theoretical study of the effects of time-dependent fields on electronic transport through graphene nanoribbon devices. The Fabry-Pérot interference pattern is modified by an ac gating in a way that depends strongly on the shape of the graphene edges. While for armchair edges the patterns are found to be regular and can be controlled very efficiently by tuning the ac field, samples with zigzag edges exhibit a much more complex interference pattern due to their peculiar electronic structure. These studies highlight the main role played by geometric details of graphene nanoribbons within the coherent transport regime. We also extend our analysis to noise power response, identifying under which conditions it is possible to minimize the current fluctuations as well as exploring scaling properties of noise with length and width of the systems.

description: The author points out that some communities still do not accept the fact that in the world of education, their children are exposed to different lifestyles from their own. We must ask ourselves to what extent it is possible to respect for pluralism in school, the extent to which we must preserve the ability of everyone to benefit from an education for citizenship and pluralism. Then debate is open and very current.

Environmental impact assessment : a comparative study of the effect of federal institutional arrangements upon environmental impact assessment procedures in Canada and the United States
Creators: name: McCallum, Sandra Kathleen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This paper examines the effect of institutional arrangements upon environmental impact assessment procedures. The short introduction discusses the need for a planning tool in the nature of an environmental impact assessment which focuses upon environmental considerations at the earliest stage of the decision process. Chapter I analyses some of the procedures suggested for implementing an assessment procedure highlighting the strengths and weaknesses of each. It is recognized that because many questions of social choice are involved the need for a broadened decision base incorporating public input into each stage of the process is desirable. The basic problem of any procedure is identified as one of enforceability. Chapter II examines the Canadian proposal which was announced in the House of Commons early in 1974. The weaknesses of the proposal are discussed within the context of the political system. Chapter III discusses the impact of the National Environmental Policy Act in the United States. Much of the success of this legislation is attributed to the role of the courts as enforcers of the legislation and clarification of the goals of Congress. Chapter IV discusses the differences between the Canadian and United States governmental structure which make the wholesale transfer of legislation in the form of the United States Act inappropriate. The procedural and doctrinal distinctions are discussed. Finally the issues which a Canadian legislature will need to address in order to implement legislation which will be as effective as the United States model are identified.

description: We present a novel approach using neural networks to recover X-ray spectral model parameters and quantify uncertainties, balancing accuracy and computational efficiency against traditional frequentist and Bayesian methods. Frequentist techniques often fall into local minima, compromising parameter estimation, while Bayesian methods, though more reliable, suffer from high computational costs. To address these challenges, we apply Monte Carlo Dropout within various neural network architectures trained on simulated spectra generated from a multiparameter emission model convolved with an instrument response. The model parameters are sampled from a predefined prior, and our proof of concept is illustrated using simulated data based on the NICER response matrix for simple emission models with up to five parameters. Our method delivers well-defined posterior distributions comparable to Bayesian inference, achieves accuracy akin to conventional spectral fitting, and is significantly less prone to local minima, thereby reducing the risk of selecting parameter outliers. Moreover, the approach improves computational speed by roughly an order of magnitude compared to traditional Bayesian techniques. This work demonstrates the potential of neural network-based methods as a robust alternative for X-ray spectral analysis, particularly in the context of future astronomical missions expected to generate extensive datasets.

description: During the recent years the Konkoly Blazhko Group (PIs Johanna Jurcsik and Béla Szeidl, co-workers Ádám Sódor, Zsombor Hurta and several undergraduate, graduate students) published new important results of Blazhko variables in 15 reviewed Journal articles. These results utilize multicolor CCD observations obtained with an automatic 60 cm telescope, and also previously unpublished Konkoly archive photometric data. Our light curves are the most extended multicolor data-sets ever obtained for a Blazhko variable, the observations cover each phase of the pulsation and the modulation as well. We have detected many previously unknown features of the light curve modulation, and based on the different band's observations we also revealed the underlying variations of the mean physical parameters during the Blazhko cycle. In my contribution the main achievements of the Konkoly Blazhko Group are summarised.

The "extended phase space" approach to quantum geometrodynamics: what can it give for the development of quantum gravity?

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The talk is devoted to the "extended phase space" approach to Quantum Geometrodynamics. The premises that have led to the formulation of this approach are briefly reviewed, namely, non-trivial topology of the Universe which implies the absence of asymptotic states, in contrast to situations one usually deals in ordinary quantum field theory; parametrization noninvariance in the Wheeler - DeWitt theory; the problem of time and the absence of dynamical evolution. Then we discuss the main features of the approach: Hamiltonian dynamics in extended phase space, gauge-dependent Schrodinger equation for the wave function of the Universe, the description of quantum Universe from the viewpoint of observers in a wide enough class of reference frames. After all, we analyse problems arising in this approach: the structure of Hilbert space in Quantum Geometrodynamics, the relations between solutions for the wave function of the Universe corresponding to various reference frames, properties of a medium to be necessary to fix a reference frame, the transition to classical limit.

Studies in government management of oil and gas resources in Canada
Creators: name: Crommelin, Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Most of the unproduced oil and gas in Canada is subject to public ownership. This fact places a duty upon government to devise a management system for these resources which goes beyond the mere regulation of private rights, and ensures that the benefits from development flow to society as a whole. This dissertation consists of two related studies of government management of onshore oil and gas in Canada. The first considers the question of jurisdiction under the Canadian constitution, a prerequisite to any assignment of government responsibility for resource management. Public ownership of onshore oil and gas in Canada traditionally means ownership by the provinces. At the same time, though, both the Dominion parliament and the provincial legislatures have exclusive legislative powers which are important in the development of these resources. The limits of the legislative authority are explored, and the relationship between Dominion legislative authority and provincial resource ownership is examined. The conclusions reached regarding jurisdiction are then applied to the principal stages of oil and gas development, from the allocation of rights to private operators through exploration, production, transportation, export and pricing. The second study reviews the Alberta management system for Crown oil and gas. Again a functional approach is adopted, the system being described and evaluated in terms of its principal stages. Two criteria of efficiency and equity are employed for evaluation. Efficiency is defined as the best possible allocation of labour and capital among alternative uses, both present and future, while equity refers to the distribution of benefits and costs from oil and gas development between the Alberta government and private individuals. The review is concluded with an assessment of the problems inherent in managing publicly-owned oil and gas resources, and suggestions for improvement of the current Alberta system.

description: Early in adolescence, biological changes in brain structure and connectivity within the brain interact with increased experience, knowledge, and changing social demands to produce rapid cognitive growth. The cognitive developments result in greater self-awareness, greater awareness of others and their thoughts and judgments, the ability to think about abstract, future possibilities, and the ability to consider multiple possibilities at once. The text shows why adolescence is a time of “thinking in a new key”, and how young people need the secondary school to resulting problems range from common alienation to self-destructive behavior.

The data sample was collected with the {{\slshape B\kern-0.1em{\smaller A}\kern-0.1em B\kern-0.1em{\smaller A\kern-0.2em R}}} detector at SLAC. The results are ${\cal B} (\Bp\ra\rprz)=(23.7\pm1.4\pm1.4)\times10^{-6}$, $f_L=0.950\pm0.015\pm0.006$, and $\Acp=-0.054\pm0.055\pm0.010$, where the uncertainties are statistical and systematic, respectively. Based on these results, we perform an isospin analysis and determine the CKM weak phase angle $α$ to be $(92.4^{+6.0}_{-6.5})^{\circ}$.

description: The standard topological representation of a Boolean algebra via the clopen sets of a Stone space requires a nonconstructive choice principle, equivalent to the Boolean Prime Ideal Theorem. In this paper, we describe a choice-free topological representation of Boolean algebras. This representation uses a subclass of the spectral spaces that Stone used in his representation of distributive lattices via compact open sets. It also takes advantage of Tarski's observation that the regular open sets of any topological space form a Boolean algebra. We prove without choice principles that any Boolean algebra arises from a special spectral space X via the compact regular open sets of X; these sets may also be described as those that are both compact open in X and regular open in the upset topology of the specialization order of X, allowing one to apply to an arbitrary Boolean algebra simple reasoning about regular opens of a separative poset. Our representation is therefore a mix of Stone and Tarski, with the two connected by Vietoris: the relevant spectral spaces also arise as the hyperspace of nonempty closed sets of a Stone space endowed with the upper Vietoris topology. In addition to representation, we establish a choice-free dual equivalence between the category of Boolean algebras with Boolean homomorphisms and a subcategory of the category of spectral spaces with spectral maps. We show how this duality can be used to prove some basic facts about Boolean algebras.

The dependence of the pulse profile on the energy and intrinsic source luminosity has been investigated; particular attention has been paid to searching for changes in the pulse profile near the cyclotron frequency. The dependence of the pulsed fraction for X-ray pulsars on their luminosity and energy band has been studied in detail for the first time.

Subjects: subject: Analysis of PDEs (math.AP)

description: In the nonconvex case solutions of rate-independent systems may develop jumps as a function of time. To model such jumps, we adopt the philosophy that rate independence should be considered as limit of systems with smaller and smaller viscosity. For the finite-dimensional case we study the vanishing-viscosity limit of doubly nonlinear equations given in terms of a differentiable energy functional and a dissipation potential which is a viscous regularization of a given rate-independent dissipation potential. The resulting definition of 'BV solutions' involves, in a nontrivial way, both the rate-independent and the viscous dissipation potential, which play a crucial role in the description of the associated jump trajectories. We shall prove a general convergence result for the time-continuous and for the time-discretized viscous approximations and establish various properties of the limiting BV solutions. In particular, we shall provide a careful description of the jumps and compare the new notion of solutions with the related concepts of energetic and local solutions to rate-independent systems.

THE DIFFICULTIES ENCOUNTERED BY GRADE 11 STUDENTS IN THE  LEARNING COMPETENCIES OF PRACTICAL RESEARCH 1
Creators: name: Navales, Gretta
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021
Subjects: research writing, novice researchers, writing difficulties, senior high school writing

description: Practical Research 1 is one of the compulsory subjects in Grade11 senior high school under the K to 12 Curriculum. Considering the fact that Grade 11 students have little to no experience about research writing, this study determined the difficulties encountered by Grade 11 students in the learning competencies of Practical Research 1 and the factors that contribute to the difficulties. Also, it further examined the significant difference in the difficulties encountered by students in terms of their sex, socio-economic status, and strand; and the proposed helpful recommendations and instructional model to respond to the identified difficulties. This study was conducted at the University of Makati, Senior High School Department, with the sample size of 474 Grade 11 student respondents and 20 teacher respondents. It is a descriptive quantitative study which employed online survey in data collection. Accordingly, the findings revealed that Grade 11 students encountered scientific and language difficulties in the 14 out of 36 learning competencies of Practical Research 1, specifically in the 1) oral presentation of the written research report, 2) finalizing the research output, 3) knowing the search process, 4) selecting relevant literature, 5) writing coherent review of literature, 6) presenting vast review, 7) synthesizing information from relevant literature, 8) relating the research findings with pertinent literature, 9) writing the research methodology, 10) planning data collection and analysis procedures, 11) utilizing materials and techniques to produce creative research output, 12) drawing conclusions from patterns and themes, 13) describing characteristics of research , and 14) creating patterns and themes from data. The specific difficulties in each of the learning competency appeared to be associated with the following factors: teaching instructions, complexity of research parts, time constraint, insufficient resources, language skills, lack of cooperation from group members, and data gathering. Moreover, it appeared that there was significant difference in the encountered difficulties of students between strands. In light of the findings, the teaching instructions and curriculum guide in Practical Research 1 must be revisited by the teacher, curriculum developers, and school to address the identified difficulties encountered by students and the factors that contribute to the difficulties. Therefore, the study proposed the utilization of direct instruction, scientific and language needs assessment, and subject integration in teaching Practical Research 1 as strategies to help students cope with the identified difficulties.

description: JASMIN exists to provide the UK environmental sciences the compute facility they need to deliver cost-effective world class science and impact from the exploitation of data. A £17M investment is needed for the next generation of JASMIN, to maintain the UK’s scientific and competitive edge, facilitating the exploitation of world class environmental science to meet the global societal challenges of the future. Such an investment would build on international leadership and would support:

            • The merging of extremely large environmental data sets with the latest earth system models: building downstream growth in space-based environmental services; and underpinning international collaborations.
            • The transformation of data into information products and services; JASMIN provides the foundation for the UK environmental information ecosystem: investment will provide greater access to knowledge for a range of users.
            • Enabling researchers to better support government usage of environmental hazard data resulting in large-scale societal benefit e.g. development of earthquake monitoring systems.
            • The next generation of earth observation and environmental simulation, including for the next phase of the World Climate Research Programme (WCRP) global model intercomparison project (CMIP6).

            The updated JASMIN will deliver cost-effective, world class environmental science, exploiting data for societal benefit. It will be a cutting-edge novel computational environment, ensuring highly-skilled people are retained in the UK from systems engineers to environmental data users, from data scientists and analysts to mathematicians.
Performance Evaluation of High-Resolution Time-of-Flight Cameras

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: A Time-of-Flight (ToF) camera is a 3D imaging device to perceive the range information between the ToF sensor and the scene for each camera’s imaging plane pixel. It has been about 20 years since the first ToF prototype was invented based on Photonic Mixer Device (PMD) technology. With the breakthrough of the ToF sensor in terms of depth pixel array at the Video Graphics Array (VGA 640 × 480 px) level in recent years, more and more high-resolution ToF cameras are pouring into the market. In this Thesis, five state-of-the-art high-resolution ToF cameras, Azure Kinect, Helio2, L515, S100D, and AD-96TOF1-EBZ, are compared via a series of experiments in terms of several key parameters, such as warm-up time, precision, lateral resolution, range resolution, and flying pixel. Some notable results are as follows: At a distance of 1m from the white panel, the distance measurement of S100D is stable with a fluctuation within 1 mm after being powered up. Azure Kinect, Helio2, and L515 can achieve precision within 2 mm in the measuring range of 0.5 to 3 m. For the point cloud of the white panel generated by L515 at a distance of 1.5m, only a small amount of flying pixel noise exists at the edge.

description: Freshly injected interstellar Pickup Ions (PUIs) are expected to exhibit a simple, torus-shaped velocity distribution function. The PUI velocity in the solar wind frame depends on the velocity of the interstellar neutral (ISN) population at the pick-up position. In this study, we compare PUI velocity distributions measured by the PLasma And SupraThermal Ion Composition (PLASTIC) instrument over the full orbit of Solar TErestrial RElations Observatory-Ahead (STEREO-A) directly. We define a new position-independent velocity measure for PUIs that takes the local direction of the interstellar neutral inflow into account. The resulting new PUI velocity measure corrects thereby for the position-dependent contribution of the ISN velocity. Pitch-angle distributions are then analysed depending on the magnetic-field azimuthal angle for different orbital positions and different values of the PUI velocity measure. The new PUI velocity measure shows an approximately constant cut-off over the complete orbit of STEREO-A. A torus signature is visible everywhere. Therein, a broadening of the torus signature outside the focusing cone and crescent regions and for lower velocity measure observed. In addition, we illustrate the symmetry between the primary and secondary ISN trajectory in the vicinity of the focusing cone. A torus signature associated with freshly injected PUIs is visible over the complete orbit of STEREO-A with increased density in the focusing cone. At least remnants of a torus signature remain for smaller values of the PUI velocity measure. The new velocity measure also prepares for PUI studies with Solar Orbiter.

description: In this article, we establish first a geometric Paley-Wiener theorem for the Dunkl transform in the crystallographic case. Next we obtain an optimal bound for the $L^p\to L^p$ norm of Dunkl translations in dimension 1. Finally we describe more precisely the support of the distribution associated to Dunkl translations in higher dimension.

The process of law reform : focus on the new B. C. companies act
Creators: name: Waldron, Mary Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This thesis is an investigation of the process of law reform as it was illustrated by the Corporate Legislation Committee of the Department of the Attorney-General, for British Columbia in its drafting of a new Companies Act. To provide the context for this study, the opening chapter briefly surveys the work that has been done up to the present in law reform as a subject for investigation. The necessity for an understanding of the workings of semi-official and official bodies to which the governments are more and more frequently assigning problems of law- reform is stressed. The next portion of the thesis begins the study of the work of the Corporate Legislation Committee. Its method of procedure and the criteria it ultimately selected, to guide its drafting of the new act are analysed in terms of the Committee's structure and the major trends in company law reform. Then four areas of the new statute are selected to correspond with and represent the four major areas of change into which the Committee divided its work. These areas are assessed for the influence they reveal of the form, procedure and policy of the Committee. Each in turn is examined through its legislative history, its background of law in this and other countries, and the way with which it has been dealt by other major law reform proposals. Finally, conclusions are drawn about the actual sections drafted by the Committee. The thesis concludes that in the case of this ad hoc law reform body, there was a very close connection between the criteria it selected as a guideline for reform and the changes it made in the Companies Act. However, because of the Committee's structure and methods of procedure, these criteria were formulated in isolation from many of the practical economic realities of companies today. They were generally conservative in policy, and drawn largely from the work of other law reform projects in company law. The sections of the new act examined reflect these limitations. Generally, they fulfill well the goals of limited change selected by the Committee.

description: Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a chronic neural degenerative disease characterized by progressive cognitive impairment. Commonly as it occurs, the underlying mechanism of AD is poorly understood. It is generally agreed that AD is a heterogeneous disease with a combination of genetic and environmental risks. Identifying new AD-related loci in human genome would provide valuable information for the underlying mechanism of the disease and potential new therapeutic targets for treatment. Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) refer to the variations of single nucleotide in specific positions in the genome. They are the most common genetic variations among people. Here we analyzed the SNP data based on the whole genome sequencing (WGS) from Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI). We identified 186 AD-associated SNPs in the correlation analysis (threshold set to 0.2). These SNPs fall in 46 genes, mostly protein-coding. In addition, we generated a causal network of 27 SNPs directly connected to AD. Our analysis on existing AD patients’ genetic data could potentially help researchers to better understand the underlying nature of this complicated disease and therefore help to better predict and prevent the progression of the disease.

description: Software aging -- the phenomenon affecting many long-running systems, causing performance degradation or an increasing failure rate over mission time, and eventually leading to failure - is known to affect mobile devices and their operating systems, too. Software rejuvenation -- the technique typically used to counteract aging -- may compromise the user's perception of availability and reliability of the personal device, if applied at a coarse grain, e.g., by restarting applications or, worse, rebooting the entire device. This article proposes a configurable micro-rejuvenation technique to counteract software aging in Android-based mobile devices, acting at a fine-grained level, namely on in-memory system data structures. The technique is engineered in two phases. Before releasing the (customized) Android version, a heap profiling facility is used by the manufacturer's developers to identify potentially bloating data structures in Android services and to instrument their code. After release, an aging detection and rejuvenation service will safely clean up the bloating data structures, with a negligible impact on user perception and device availability, as neither the device nor operating system's processes are restarted. The results of experiments show the ability of the technique to provide significant gains in aging mobile operating system responsiveness and time to failure.

description: UnScientify, a system designed to detect scientific uncertainty in scholarly full text. The system utilizes a weakly supervised technique to identify verbally expressed uncertainty in scientific texts and their authorial references. The core methodology of UnScientify is based on a multi-faceted pipeline that integrates span pattern matching, complex sentence analysis and author reference checking. This approach streamlines the labeling and annotation processes essential for identifying scientific uncertainty, covering a variety of uncertainty expression types to support diverse applications including information retrieval, text mining and scientific document processing. The evaluation results highlight the trade-offs between modern large language models (LLMs) and the UnScientify system. UnScientify, which employs more traditional techniques, achieved superior performance in the scientific uncertainty detection task, attaining an accuracy score of 0.808. This finding underscores the continued relevance and efficiency of UnScientify's simple rule-based and pattern matching strategy for this specific application. The results demonstrate that in scenarios where resource efficiency, interpretability, and domain-specific adaptability are critical, traditional methods can still offer significant advantages.

description: The main result of this paper is an inequality relating the lattice point enumerator of a 3-dimensional, 0-symmetric convex body and its successive minima. This is an example of generalization of Minkowski's theorems on successive minima, where the volume is replaced by the discrete analogue, the lattice point enumerator. This problem is still open in higher dimensions, however, we introduce a stronger conjecture that shows a possibility of proof by induction on the dimension.
