title: The Crisis of Chinese Rock in the mid-1990s: Weakness in Form or Weakness in Content?
Creators: name: Wang, Qian
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2023

description: Born in the political turmoil of the 1989 student movement, Chinese rock music is often understood as an ideological weapon to against the Communist principles due to its western origin. The movement pushed Chinese rock to an unprecedented height of cultural prominence in the. early 1990s. Chinese rock, however, lost this cultural prominence in the mid-1990s. The political suppression is generally regarded as the key reason causing the crisis, but the real reason is much more complicated and deep inside China's society. . The 1990s is a decade when China was profoundly transformed into a new nation in every dimension. The substantial economic growth hid other social problems, such as the unparalleled development between economy and culture. The crisis of Chinese rock is just evidence demonstrating how cultures are co-produced by multi-forces social movements rather than any single factors. Social powers and the political power are often mixed in previous studies. It is also incorrect to treat ordinary people as a passive group who actually had exerted their influences on the formation of Chinese rock in the 1990s. Qualitative data (such as the lyrics and comments) and quantitative data (such as the number ofrock album and economic figures) display why the crisis happened. The political-concentrated content and the purely artistic form are the two direct causes of the crisis, but digging deeper, social power, social classes, and cultural capital play vital roles. The immaturity of Chinese rock music itself is the direct reason, but the immaturity of China's society is the essential and primary reason for the crisis. The crisis of Chinese rock, however, does not mean its death, but a period when rockers, the music industries, the media, fans, and even the government needed to learn and accumulate adequate source and capital to develop this new culture. It cannot be an overnight task. The comeback of Chinese rock in the new millennium demonstrates that Chinese rock is a culture related to China. Its social significance and role likely differ from its western counterpart. Because China has been opened up to the outside world since 1979, the development of intercultural exchange is inevitable, which makes rock music develop in China in a together-in-difference situation.

description: As deep neural networks are increasingly used in applications suited for low-power devices, a fundamental dilemma becomes apparent: the trend is to grow models to absorb increasing data that gives rise to memory intensive; however low-power devices are designed with very limited memory that can not store large models. Parameters pruning is critical for deep model deployment on low-power devices. Existing efforts mainly focus on designing highly efficient structures or pruning redundant connections for networks. They are usually sensitive to the tasks or relay on dedicated and expensive hashing storage strategies. In this work, we introduce a novel approach for achieving a lightweight model from the views of reconstructing the structure of convolutional kernels and efficient storage. Our approach transforms a traditional square convolution kernel to line segments, and automatically learn a proper strategy for equipping these line segments to model diverse features. The experimental results indicate that our approach can massively reduce the number of parameters (pruned 69% on DenseNet-40) and calculations (pruned 59% on DenseNet-40) while maintaining acceptable performance (only lose less than 2% accuracy).

description: Background: Diabetes affects an estimated 346 million persons globally, and total deaths from diabetes are projected to increase > 50% in the next decade. Understanding the role of environmental chemicals in the development or progression of diabetes is an emerging issue in environmental health. In 2011, the National Toxicology Program (NTP) organized a workshop to assess the literature for evidence of associations between certain chemicals, including inorganic arsenic, and diabetes and/or obesity to help develop a focused research agenda. This review is derived from discussions at that workshop.

description: In this article, novel smoothness indicators are presented for calculating the nonlinear weights of weighted essentially non-oscillatory scheme to approximate the viscosity numerical solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi equations. These novel smoothness indicators are constructed from the derivatives of reconstructed polynomials over each sub-stencil. The constructed smoothness indicators measure the arc-length of the reconstructed polynomials so that the new nonlinear weights could get less absolute truncation error and gives a high-resolution numerical solution. Extensive numerical tests are conducted and presented to show the performance capability and the numerical accuracy of the proposed scheme with the comparison to the classical WENO scheme.

description: We compute the 't Hooft coupling correction to the infinite coupling expression for the second order transport coefficient $λ_2$ in ${\cal N}=4$ $SU(N_c)$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory at finite temperature in the limit of infinite $N_c$, which originates from the $R^4$ terms in the low energy effective action of the dual type IIB string theory. Using this result, we show that the identity involving the three second order transport coefficients, $2 ητ_Π- 4 λ_1 - λ_2 =0$, previously shown by Haack and Yarom to hold universally in relativistic conformal field theories with string dual descriptions to leading order in supergravity approximation, holds also at next to leading order in this theory. We also compute corrections to transport coefficients in a (hypothetical) strongly interacting conformal fluid arising from the generic curvature squared terms in the corresponding dual gravity action (in particular, Gauss-Bonnet action), and show that the identity holds to linear order in the higher-derivative couplings. We discuss potential implications of these results for the near-equilibrium entropy production rate at strong coupling.

description: We propose an efficient semi-Lagrangian method for solving the two-dimensional incompressible Euler equations with high precision on a coarse grid. The new approach evolves the flow map using the gradient-augmented level set method (GALSM). Since the flow map can be decomposed into submaps (each over a finite time interval), the error can be controlled by choosing the remapping times appropriately. This leads to a numerical scheme that has exponential resolution in linear time. Error estimates are provided and conservation properties are analyzed. The computational efficiency and the high precision of the method are illustrated for a vortex merger and a four mode and a random flow. Comparisons with a Cauchy-Lagrangian method are also presented.

A p-adic Labesse-Langlands transfer

description: We prove a p-adic Labesse-Langlands transfer from the group of units in a definite quaternion algebra to its subgroup of norm one elements. More precisely, given an eigenvariety for the first group, we show that there exists an eigenvariety for the second group and a morphism between them that extends the classical Langlands transfer. In order to find a suitable target eigenvariety for the transfer we formalise a notion of Langlands compatibility of tame levels. Proving the existence of Langlands compatible tame levels is the key to pass from the classical transfer on the level of L-packets to a map between classical points of eigenvarieties, which is then amenable for interpolation to give the p-adic transfer.

description: We show that there is a good notion of irreducible sympelectic varieties of $\mathrm{K3}^{[n]}$-type over an arbitrary field of characteristic zero or $p > n + 1$. Then we construct mixed characteristic moduli spaces for these varieties. Our main result is a generalization of Ogus' crystalline Torelli theorem for supersingular K3 surfaces. For applications, we answer a slight variant of a question asked by F. Charles on moduli spaces of sheaves on K3 surfaces and give a crystalline Torelli theorem for supersingular cubic fourfolds.

Testing the Independence of Representational Change Theory Processes
Creators: name: Strickland, Taylor
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: One theory about the way insight problems are solved, Representational Change Theory (RCT; Knoblich et al., 1999), proposes two processes are responsible for changing an initial incorrect representation into one that allows for a solution to be found. These two processes, constraint relaxation and chunk decomposition, are assumed to operate independently of one another (Öllinger et al., 2008). To test this assumption, the present study used matchstick arithmetic problems to manipulate these processes independently using different instructions. Overall, there was partial support that the processes of constraint relaxation and chunk decomposition are independent. The chunk decomposition instructions only improved performance on problems that required chunk decomposition, but the constraint relaxation instruction did not improve performance on either problem type. This is likely due to the constraint relaxation instruction being weaker than the chunk decomposition instruction, which meant that the independence assumption could not be fully tested in this study.

description: A fitness landscape is a mapping from a space of discrete genotypes to the real numbers. A path in a fitness landscape is a sequence of genotypes connected by single mutational steps. Such a path is said to be accessible if the fitness values of the genotypes encountered along the path increase monotonically. We study accessible paths on random fitness landscapes of the House-of-Cards type, on which fitness values are independent, identically and continuously distributed random variables. The genotype space is taken to be a Cartesian power graph $\mathcal{A}^L$, where $L$ is the number of genetic loci and the allele graph $\mathcal{A}$ encodes the possible allelic states and mutational transitions on one locus. The probability of existence of accessible paths between two genotypes at a distance linear in $L$ displays a transition from 0 to a positive value at a threshold $β_c$ for the fitness difference between the initial and final genotype. We derive a lower bound on $β_c$ for general $\mathcal{A}$ and show that this bound is tight for a large class of allele graphs. Our results generalize previous results for accessibility percolation on the biallelic hypercube, and compare favorably to published numerical results for multiallelic Hamming graphs.

description: In our previous paper I (del Valle--Turbiner, Int. J. Mod. Phys. A34, 1950143, 2019) it was developed the formalism to study the general $D$-dimensional radial anharmonic oscillator with potential $V(r)= \frac{1}{g^2}\,\hat{V}(gr)$. It was based on the Perturbation Theory (PT) in powers of $g$ (weak coupling regime) and in inverse, fractional powers of $g$ (strong coupling regime) in both $r$-space and in $(gr)$-space, respectively. As the result it was introduced - the Approximant - a locally-accurate uniform compact approximation of a wave function. If taken as a trial function in variational calculations it has led to variational energies of unprecedented accuracy for cubic anharmonic oscillator. In this paper the formalism is applied to both quartic and sextic, spherically-symmetric radial anharmonic oscillators with two term potentials $V(r)= r^2 + g^{2(m-1)}\, r^{2m}, m=2,3$, respectively. It is shown that a two-parametric Approximant for quartic oscillator and a five-parametric one for sextic oscillator for the first four eigenstates used to calculate the variational energy are accurate in 8-12 figures for any $D=1,2,3\ldots $ and $g \geq 0$, while the relative deviation of the Approximant from the exact eigenfunction is less than $10^{-6}$ for any $r \geq 0$.

description: We present a discriminative clustering approach in which the feature representation can be learned from data and moreover leverage labeled data. Representation learning can give a similarity-based clustering method the ability to automatically adapt to an underlying, yet hidden, geometric structure of the data. The proposed approach augments the DIFFRAC method with a representation learning capability, using a gradient-based stochastic training algorithm and an optimal transport algorithm with entropic regularization to perform the cluster assignment step. The resulting method is evaluated on several real datasets when varying the ratio of labeled data to unlabeled data and thereby interpolating between the fully unsupervised regime and the fully supervised regime. The experimental results suggest that the proposed method can learn powerful feature representations even in the fully unsupervised regime and can leverage even small amounts of labeled data to improve the feature representations and to obtain better clusterings of complex datasets.

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Through recent decades, state authorities have been progressively promoting Medicaid Home and Community–Based Services (HCBS) as an alternative to institutionalization. Despite continued growth in HCBS, additional understanding is necessary about the frequency of waiver services and healthcare utilization outcomes within this population. The study examined the associations of the structural determinants of health (age, race/ethnicity, gender, and regions) and the intermediary determinants of health (health conditions and HCBS programs) with the frequency of homemaker, personal assistant/attendant care, adult day service, and Personal Emergency Home Response services and four healthcare utilization outcomes (hospital admissions, emergency department, ambulatory/preventive care services, and long-term care admissions) in a fee-for-service system. Moreover, the study explores the associations of frequency of waiver services and how the interaction with determinant factors affects hospital admissions, emergency department visits, ambulatory/preventive care visits, and long-term care admissions. The study also assessed whether the frequency of waiver services and healthcare utilization outcomes among Medicaid Managed Care participants differ from those individuals who remained in a fee-for-service system. It further explored the participants’ likelihood of utilizing specific waiver services and healthcare utilization outcomes according to Medicaid fee-for-service or managed care systems, as well as the characteristics associated with their utilization. The analyses indicated that the structural and intermediary determinants of health affect the variation of waiver service hours and healthcare utilization outcomes within this population. The data also suggests that the variation in the frequency of waiver services is also associated with healthcare utilization outcomes with and without interaction terms with the social determinants’ factors. Moreover, compared with fee-for-service recipients, individuals enrolled in a Medicaid-managed care system are more likely to receive greater frequencies of waiver services. Findings regarding Medicaid managed care transition versus fee-for-service suggested better utilization of ambulatory/preventive care services among individuals enrolled in the Medicaid managed care program.

description: Background: Over the past 20 years, an increased focus on detecting environmental chemicals that pose a risk of adverse effects due to endocrine disruption has driven the creation of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Endocrine Disruptor Screening Program (EDSP). Thousands of chemicals are subject to the EDSP; thus, processing these chemicals using current test batteries could require millions of dollars and decades. A need for increased throughput and efficiency motivated the development of methods using in vitro high throughput screening (HTS) assays to prioritize chemicals for EDSP Tier 1 screening (T1S).

description: Bisexual women experience health inequities when compared to monosexual (heterosexual or lesbian) peers. Research about chronic pain in this population is lacking, but higher rates of violence, discrimination, and mental distress experienced by bisexual women might put this group at higher risk of experiencing chronic pain. Qualitative research exploring the firsthand experiences of chronic pain among bisexual women could illuminate ways that bisexual women understand their pain. This Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) investigated how six bisexual women living in Chicago experienced and understood their chronic pain. Two semi-structured interviews each were completed with six bisexual women (cisgender and transgender) with chronic pain of varied ages, races, and ethnicities. In keeping with the tenets of IPA, individual cases were analyzed in great depth before moving to cross-case analysis. After analysis, findings were member-checked with participants to enhance rigor and community accountability. Four key cross-case themes are presented in this dissertation: (1) disbelief and dismissal, (2) healthcare barriers, (3) mind body connections, and (4) social dimensions of chronic pain. Participants reported pervasive experiences of disbelief and dismissal of their pain across settings. Healthcare barriers were prevalent and related both to bisexuality and pain. Pain was intimately related to mental health, and both mental health and pain were affected by societal, environmental, and political factors. Finally, pain deeply influenced social relationships, and social relationships also affected pain. Bisexual women have unique experiences of chronic pain related to their intersecting positionalities. Implications for healthcare providers and researchers are discussed.

Creators: name: Berdyugin, Andrei
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: DiPol-UF is a new instrument capable of high precision (10−5) polarimetric observations simultaneously in three passbands (BVR). The instrument utilizes electron-multiplied EM CCD cameras for high efficiency and fast image readout. The key features of DiPol-UF are: (i) optical design with high throughput and inherent stability; (ii) great versatility which makes the instrument optimally suitable for observations of bright and faint targets; (iii) control system which allows using the polarimeter remotely. The DiPol-UF is equipped with a retractable calcite unit and can be used also as a high-speed simultaneous three-band photometer. Polarimeter is equipped with exchangeable half and quarter-wave plates and capable to measure linear and circular polarization. Examples are given of the first results obtained from high signal-to-noise ratio observations of bright nearby stars and fainter sources, such as X-ray binaries in their quiescent state and magnetic white dwarfs.

description: We propose a model of multispecies populations surviving on distributed resources. System dynamics are investigated under changes in abiotic factors such as the climate, as parameterized through environmental temperature. In particular, we introduce a feedback between species abundances and resources via abiotic factors. This model is apparently the first of its kind to include a feedback mechanism coupling climate and population dynamics. Moreover, we take into account self-limitation effects. The model explains the coexistence of many species, yet also displays the possibility of catastrophic bifurcations, where all species become extinct under the influence of abiotic factors. We show that as these factors change there are different regimes of ecosystem behavior, including a possibly chaotic regime when abiotic influences are sufficiently strong.

description: Background: Tobacco-smoke, airborne, and dietary exposures to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been associated with reduced prenatal growth. Evidence from biomarker-based studies of low-exposed populations is limited. Bulky DNA adducts in cord blood reflect the prenatal effective dose to several genotoxic agents including PAHs.

description: The notion of generalized quantum monoids is introduced. It is proved that the quantum coordinate ring of the monoid can be lifted to a quantum hyper-algebra, in which the quantum determinant and quantum Pfaffian are sent to the quantum hyperdeterminant and quantum hyper-Pfaffian respectively. The quantum hyperdeterminant in even dimension is shown to be a $q$-analog of Cayley's first hyperdeterminant.

The Curved Space is The Electrified Flat Space

description: The responsibility of the electric field $E$ in the modification of the nature of the space is proved. We investigate the way the fundamental strings are related to supergravity background of D5-branes; i.e. once the endpoints of the D-strings are electrified the flat space becomes curved. We study the electrified relative and overall transverse perturbations of fuzzy funnel solutions of intersecting $(N,N_f)$-strings and D5-branes in flat and supergravity backgrounds respectively. As result the perturbations have a discontinuity which corresponds to a zero phase shift realizing Polchinski's open string Neumann boundary condition. And once the electric field $E$ is turned on in flat space these perturbations decrease and when $E$ is close to the critical value $\frac{1}λ$ the perturbations disappear forever and the string coupling becomes strong. At this stage the space is considered curved and the electric field is responsible for this effect. This phenomena is also enhanced by the behavior of the potential $V$ associated to the perturbations $Φ$ on the funnel solutions under the influence of the electric field. The potential goes too fast to $-\infty$ when $E$ goes to the critical value $\frac{1}λ$ in flat space which looks like a kink to increase the velocity for $Φ$ to disappear. But in curved space and close to the intersecting point we do not find any perturbation for all $E$ and there is no effect of $E$ on $V$ and this is a sign to the absence of the perturbation effects in supergravity background. This clarifies the existence of a relation between the electric field and the supergravity background.

description: Background: Formaldehyde is an air pollutant present in both indoor and outdoor atmospheres. Because of its ubiquitous nature, it is imperative to understand the mechanisms underlying formaldehyde-induced toxicity and carcinogenicity. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can influence disease caused by environmental exposures, yet miRNAs are understudied in relation to formaldehyde. Our previous investigation demonstrated that formaldehyde exposure in human lung cells caused disruptions in miRNA expression profiles in vitro.
Simulation of Transport in Type-II Superlattice Avalanche Photodiodes

description: Improvements in semiconductor technology have allowed for growing commercial and institutional use of photodiodes as photodetectors due to their compact size, high reliability, and low cost. Of particular interest are low-excess noise avalanche photodiodes (APDs) which have increased sensitivity as a result of avalanche gain. The desire for APDs for short-wavelength (1-2 micron) and mid-wavelength (2-5 micron) photodetection is driven by applications which include fiber-optic communication, gas detection and monitoring, thermal imaging, and 3D light detection and ranging (LiDAR). We design and assess APDs fabricated from band-engineered InAlAs/InAsSb type-II superlattices which are nanostructures that permit the tuning of APD properties via electronic structure design. Complementary to the experimental growth, characterization, and fabrication of novel semiconductor material systems and devices are theoretical tools to design and simulate electronic devices. The design of type-II superlattices begins with a detailed calculation of the electronic band structure and carrier scattering rates. In this thesis, we consider the next step and report on the development of microscopic transport simulation methods used to devise band-engineering strategies which enable the design of type-II superlattices for use as high-performance APDs. The result is an ensemble Monte Carlo algorithm suitable for the simulation of Boltzmann transport within the full zone electronic structure of type-II superlattices. Within the uniform field model we demonstrate orders-of-magnitude improvement of the hole-to-electron impact ionization ratio---a key metric in the determination of APD performance---for InAlAs/InAsSb superlattices as compared with bulk InAs. We associate superlattice design features like miniband widths and the placement of Brillouin zone boundaries with electron and hole impact ionization coefficients and hence device properties like excess noise and bandwidth. This analysis reveals the InAlAs/InAsSb type-II superlattice as a platform for high-performance low-excess noise APDs in the short-wavelength infrared band. Finally, we report on the development of a self-consistent ensemble Monte Carlo-Poisson solver algorithm suitable for the simulation of type-II superlattice APD devices and demonstrate the direct simulation of avalanche breakdown.

description: We report the direct observation of two mid-gap core d-states of differing symmetry for a single Fe atom embedded in GaAs. These states are distinguished by the strength of their hybridization with the surrounding host electronic structure. The mid-gap state of Fe that does not hybridize via sigma-bonding is strongly localized to the Fe atom, whereas the other, which does, is extended and comparable in size to other acceptor states. Tight-binding calculations of these mid-gap states agree with the spatial structure of the measured wave functions, and illustrate that such measurements can determine the degree of hybridization via pi-bonding of impurity d-states. These single-dopant mid-gap states with strong d-character, which are intrinsically spin-orbit-entangled, provide an opportunity for probing and manipulating local magnetism and may be of use for high-speed electrical control of single spins.
