description: Having a clear view of events that occurred over time is a difficult objective to achieve in digital investigations (DI). Event reconstruction, which allows investigators to understand the timeline of a crime, is one of the most important step of a DI process. This complex task requires exploration of a large amount of events due to the pervasiveness of new technologies nowadays. Any evidence produced at the end of the investigative process must also meet the requirements of the courts, such as reproducibility, verifiability, validation, etc. For this purpose, we propose a new methodology, supported by theoretical concepts, that can assist investigators through the whole process including the construction and the interpretation of the events describing the case. The proposed approach is based on a model which integrates knowledge of experts from the fields of digital forensics and software development to allow a semantically rich representation of events related to the incident. The main purpose of this model is to allow the analysis of these events in an automatic and efficient way. This paper describes the approach and then focuses on the main conceptual and formal aspects: a formal incident modelization and operators for timeline reconstruction and analysis.

description: Formanek and Procesi have demonstrated that Aut(F_n) is not linear for n >2. Their technique is to construct nonlinear groups of a special form, which we call FP-groups, and then to embed a special type of automorphism group, which we call a poison group, in Aut(F_n), from which they build an FP-group. We first prove that poison groups cannot be embedded in certain mapping class groups. We then show that no FP-groups of any form can be embedded in mapping class groups. Thus the methods of Formanek and Procesi fail in the case of mapping class groups, providing strong evidence that mapping class groups may in fact be linear.

Chiral superconducting diode effect by Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: A two-component quasi-two-dimensional superconductor with Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction is studied based on the Ginzburg-Landau and Bogoliubov-de Gennes theories. Under external in-plane magnetic fields, the order parameter of the superconducting state is a type of the Fulde-Ferrell state with a finite momentum of Cooper pairs due to the Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction. It is shown that the superconducting diode effect can emerge when a supercurrent flows parallel to the external magnetic field, characteristic of chiral crystals. In the Bogoliubov-de Gennes theory, phase diagrams associated with the transition of the Cooper-pair momentum and the Josephson phase between spin-singlet and spin-triplet Cooper pairs are derived, and a close relationship with the diode quality factor is demonstrated. Implications of critical currents in the aspect of thermodynamics are also discussed. Based on such an argument, it is argued that the first-order phase transition in terms of Cooper-pair momentum and the coexistence of phases with different Cooper-pair momentum and Josephson phase can occur. The argument also implies the issue with the definition of critical currents calculated from the extremes of the supercurrent when metastable states exist. Comments on purely two-dimensional superconductors are also given.

description: Wetland soils are defined by anoxic and reducing conditions that impose biogeochemically hostile conditions on plant roots and their endogenous fungal communities. The cosmopolitan wetland plant Typha L. mitigates root-zone anoxia efficiently, such that roots of these plants may constitute fungal habitats similar to roots in subaerially exposed soils. Alternatively, fungi may compete with plant cells for limited oxygen in inundated roots. We hypothesized that extrinsic environmental factors may reduce fungal incidence and affect fungal community structure within inundated roots as compared with those in subaerially exposed soils. We sampled roots of Typha spp. plants across inundation gradients in constructed reservoirs; root subsamples were microscopically examined for fungal structures, and morphologically distinct fungal endophytes were cultured and isolated from surface-sterilized subsamples. We found that the incidence of fungal hyphae was suppressed for all types of vegetative mycelia when roots were inundated, regardless of depth, but that there were no obvious differences in community composition of fungi cultured from roots growing in inundated versus subaerially exposed soils. This suggests that the suppression of hyphae we observed in root samples did not result from changes in community composition. Instead, low hyphal incidence in inundated Typha roots may reflect germinal inhibition or unsuccessful initial colonization, possibly owing to plant-mediated redox dynamism in the surrounding soil. No variation was seen in the incidence of asexual spores, or chytridiomycetes, nor were there significant differences between geographically disparate sampling sites. Communities of root-endogenous fungi may therefore be influenced more strongly by external environmental factors than by the environments that plant roots comprise.

description: We have reinvestigated the quintessence model with minimally coupled scalar field in the context of recent Supernova observation at $z=1.7$. By assuming the form of the scale factor which gives both the early time deceleration and late time acceleration, consistent with the observations, we show that one needs a double exponential potential. We have also shown that the equation of state and the behaviour of dark energy density are reasonably consistent with earlier constraints obtained by different authors. This work shows again the importance of double exponential potential for a quintessence field.

description: Substructures in disc density are ubiquitous in the bright extended discs that are observed with high resolution. These substructures are intimately linked to the physical mechanisms driving planet formation and disc evolution. Surveys of star-forming regions find that most discs are in fact compact, less luminous, and do not exhibit these same substructures. It remains unclear whether compact discs also have similar substructures or if they are featureless. This suggests that different planet formation and disc evolution mechanisms operate in these discs. We investigated evidence of substructure within two compact discs around the stars Sz 65 and Sz 66 using high angular resolution observations with ALMA at 1.3 mm. The two stars form a wide-binary system with 6.36 arcsec separation. The continuum observations achieve a synthesised beam major axis of 0.026 arcsec, equivalent to about 4.0 au, enabling a search for substructure on these spatial scales and a characterisation of the gas and dust disc sizes with high precision. We analysed the data in the image plane through an analysis of reconstructed images, as well as in the uv plane by modelling the visibilities and by an analysis of the 12CO emission line. Comparisons were made with high-resolution observations of compact discs and radially extended discs. We find evidence of substructure in the dust distribution of Sz 65, namely a shallow gap centred at approximately 20 au, with an emission ring exterior to it. Ninety percent of the measured continuum flux is found within 27 au, and the distance for 12CO is 142 au. The observations show that Sz 66 is very compact: 90 per cent of the continuum flux is contained within 16 au, and 48 au for the gas. While the overall prevalence and diversity of substructure in compact discs relative to larger discs is yet to be determined, we find evidence that substructures can exist in compact discs.

description: The frequencies of a cryogenic sapphire oscillator and a hydrogen maser are compared to set new constraints on a possible violation of Lorentz invariance. We determine the variation of the oscillator frequency as a function of its orientation (Michelson-Morley test) and of its velocity (Kennedy-Thorndike test) with respect to a preferred frame candidate. We constrain the corresponding parameters of the Mansouri and Sexl test theory to $δ- β+ 1/2 = (1.5\pm 4.2) \times 10^{-9}$ and $β- α- 1 = (-3.1\pm 6.9) \times 10^{-7}$ which is equivalent to the best previous result for the former and represents a 30 fold improvement for the latter.

description: This thesis focuses on the United States' role in the restitution of art looted during World War II and its impact on the international art restitution field. The study analyzes the historical background of international art restitution and the unique position of the United States legal system. It highlights the complexities and challenges associated with the restitution of Nazi-looted art. The research examines two significant U.S. Supreme Court cases, Austria v. Altmann and Cassirer v. Thyssen-Bornemisza Collection Foundation, and the application of the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA) to showcase the impact of the U.S. judicial system on global art restitution efforts. The thesis argues that the U.S. has played a crucial role in facilitating the return of stolen artworks to their rightful owners. While the effectiveness of the U.S. judicial system in influencing international restitution practices varies, the provision of avenues for individuals to pursue restitution marks a groundbreaking advancement. The analysis of these cases reveals the limitations and possibilities within the U.S. legal framework for addressing complex international restitution cases. By examining the international influence of U.S. court rulings and the ongoing challenges in the restitution of looted art, the study highlights the United States' significant and nuanced contribution to the global pursuit of justice for victims of art theft.

Restrictive and non-restrictive adjectives : a cross-language study
Creators: name: Byrne, Svetlana
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1984
Subjects: subject: Grammar, Comparative and general Adjective

description: This work is intended to be an exploratory study of a possible language universal. Limitations on time and resources did not allow a statistically valid sampling technique to be employed in collecting data for the study. Instead, a convenience sampling technique was used (Bell 1978: 123-56). The choice of languages ,n the study was influenced by my familiarity with them as well as by the availability of informants and recorded/published data. An attempt was made however, to select languages from as divergent genetic and geographic sources as the above mentioned restrictions allowed. The number of languages examined is skewed towards the I.E. family, also because of the limitations mentioned above. The examination of a larger sample of languages from the I.E. family proved to be useful as it illustrated the possible typology of formal expression of differences between adjectival categories and thus helped to identify these distinctions in less familiar languages.
Hyperbolic slicings of spacetime: singularity avoidance and gauge shocks

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: I study the Bona-Masso family of hyperbolic slicing conditions, considering in particular its properties when approaching two different types of singularities: focusing singularities and gauge shocks. For focusing singularities, I extend the original analysis of Bona et. al and show that both marginal and strong singularity avoidance can be obtained for certain types of behavior of the slicing condition as the lapse approaches zero. For the case of gauge shocks, I re-derive a condition found previously that eliminates them. Unfortunately, such a condition limits considerably the type of slicings allowed. However, useful slicing conditions can still be found if one asks for this condition to be satisfied only approximately. Such less restrictive conditions include a particular member of the 1+log family, which in the past has been found empirically to be extremely robust for both Brill wave and black hole simulations.

description: Safety issues associated with transporting crude oil by rail have been a concern since the boom of US domestic shale oil production in 2012. During the last decade, over 300 crude oil by rail incidents have occurred in the US. Some of them have caused adverse consequences including fire and hazardous materials leakage. However, only limited information on the routes of crude-on-rail and their associated risks is available to the public. To this end, this study proposes an unconventional way to reconstruct the crude-on-rail routes using geotagged photos harvested from the Flickr website. The proposed method links the geotagged photos of crude oil trains posted online with national railway networks to identify potential railway segments those crude oil trains were traveling on. A shortest path-based method was then applied to infer the complete crude-on-rail routes, by utilizing the confirmed railway segments as well as their movement direction information. Validation of the inferred routes was performed using a public map and official crude oil incident data. Results suggested that the inferred routes based on geotagged photos have high coverage, with approximately 96% of the documented crude oil incidents aligned with the reconstructed crude-on-rail network. The inferred crude oil train routes were found to pass through many metropolitan areas with dense populations, who are exposed to potential risk. This finding could improve situation awareness for policymakers and transportation planners. In addition, with the inferred routes, this study establishes a good foundation for future crude oil train risk analysis along the rail route.

description: In order to characterize 22 new globular cluster (GC) candidates in the Galactic bulge, we present their colour-magnitude diagrams (CMDs) and Ks-band luminosity functions (LFs) using the near-infrared VVV database as well as Gaia-DR2 proper motion dataset. CMDs were obtained, on one hand, after properly decontaminating the observed diagrams from background/foreground disc stars and other sources. On the other hand, CMDs were also obtained based upon star selection in proper motion diagrams. Taking into account our deep CMDs and LFs analyses, we find that 17 out of 22 new GC candidates may be real and should therefore be followed-up, while 5 candidates were discarded from the original sample. We also search for RR Lyrae and Mira variable stars in the fields of these new GC candidates. In particular, we confirm that Minni 40 may be a real cluster. If confirmed by further follow-up analysis, it would be the closest GC to the Galactic centre in projected angular distance, located only 0.5 deg away from it. We consider that it is very difficult to confirm the physical reality of these small, poorly-populated bulge GCs so in many cases alternative techniques are needed to corroborate our findings.

description: The study is a first attempt towards the development of a stochastic simulation model of the Cyprus meat market utilizing behavioural relationships estimated within a consistent framework to analyze the effects of alternative pricing policies. The study provides quantitative measures of the impacts of alternative feedgrain and milk price policies and meat import policies on domestic production, consumption and prices of ruminant and non-ruminant meat, ruminant animal inventories and foreign trade. It also examines the effects of a reunification of the country's moslem and christian populations on the demand for domestic and imported (frozen) ruminant meat and domestic non-ruminant meat. A block-recursive ruminant model and a simultaneous non-ruminant model were specified and estimated using annual data from 1960 to 1983. Both models have shown good statistical properties and forecasting abilities and are in conformity with economic theory. The models exhibited stability when subjected to small changes in the parameters except in the case of the population variable where the ruminant model seems to be rather sensitive. Increasing the price of feedgrain paid by livestock farmers either through a reduction or removal of the existing feedgrain subsidy results in the contraction of the ruminant and non-ruminant meat sectors with the former being affected slightly and the latter substantially. Prices of meat are expected to rise with ruminant meat prices increasing marginally compared to prices of non-ruminant meat. An interesting result of the policy experiment is the observed responsiveness of the domestic ruminant meat market to changes in the price of milk. It appears that the milk price is a more effective policy instrument in setting the direction of ruminant meat production and prices than the feedgrain subsidy or import tariff on ruminant meat. The low substitution between domestic (fresh) and imported (frozen) ruminant meat causes the imposition of an import tariff on ruminant meat to have marginal effects on domestic ruminant meat production, consumption and prices. Imports, however, contract significantly in the long-run resulting to a substantial increase in government revenue and decrease in foreign exchange requirements. The reunification of the country's christian and moslem populations is expected to cause an overall increase in total meat consumption. The increase in the demand for ruminant meat, however, is proportionately larger than that for non-ruminant meat which is consistent with the consumption behaviour of the moslem community.

description: Bayesian decision theory provides a framework for optimal action selection under uncertainty given a utility function over actions and world states and a distribution over world states. The application of Bayesian decision theory in practice is often limited by two problems: (1) in application domains such as recommendation, the true utility function of a user is a priori unknown and must be learned from user interactions; and (2) computing expected utilities under complex state distributions and (potentially uncertain) utility functions is often computationally expensive and requires tractable approximations. In this thesis, we aim to address both of these problems. For (1), we take a Bayesian non-parametric approach to utility function modeling and learning. In our first contribution, we exploit community structure prevalent in collective user preferences using a Dirichlet Process mixture of Gaussian Processes (GPs). In our second contribution, we take the underlying GP preference model of the first contribution and show how to jointly address both (1) and (2) by sparsifying the GP model in order to preserve optimal decisions while ensuring tractable expected utility computations. In our third and final contribution, we directly address (2) in a Monte Carlo framework by deriving an optimal loss-calibrated importance sampling distribution and show how it can be extended to uncertain utility representations developed in the previous contributions. Our empirical evaluations in various applications including multiple preference learning problems using synthetic and real user data and robotics decision-making scenarios derived from actual occupancy grid maps demonstrate the effectiveness of the theoretical foundations laid in this thesis and pave the way for future advances that address important practical problems at the intersection of Bayesian decision theory and scalable machine learning.

description: For $K$ a field, a Wedderburn $K$-linear category is a $K$-linear category $\sA$ whose radical $\sR$ is locally nilpotent and such that $\bar \sA:=\sA/\sR$ is semi-simple and remains so after any extension of scalars. We prove existence and uniqueness results for sections of the projection $\sA\to \bar\sA$, in the vein of the theorems of Wedderburn. There are two such results: one in the general case and one when $\sA$ has a monoidal structure for which $\sR$ is a monoidal ideal. The latter applies notably to Tannakian categories over a field of characteristic zero, and we get a generalisation of the Jacobson-Morozov theorem: the existence of a pro-reductive envelope $\Pred(G)$ associated to any affine group scheme $G$ over $K$. Other applications are given in this paper as well as in a forthcoming one on motives.

Subjects: subject: Women Employment Philippines

description: This study attempt s to analyse the trends and patterns of female labour force participation based on the 1960, 1970 and 1975 censuses . The main analysis utilises the data from a sample of currently married women aged 15-49 included in the 1978 Republic of the Philippine s Fertility Survey (RPFS ) whose first marriage remained intact and whose first birth 'interval is positive . It identifies the main work sequence s of Filipino women during the three life cycle stages - before marriage , the period between marriage and the first birth, and the period between the first birth and the survey date . In addition , the relationship between demographic and socio-economic factors and work sequences is examined and the work continuity during the life cycle stages is investigated . The discussion also focuses on whether the work experience before marriage is an important predictor of current work status.
Salient Features of Dressed Elliptic String Solutions on $\mathbb{R}\times$S$^2$

description: We analyse several physical aspects of the dressed elliptic strings propagating on $\mathbb{R} \times \mathrm{S}^2$ and of their counterparts in the Pohlmeyer reduced theory, i.e. the sine-Gordon equation. The solutions are divided into two wide classes; kinks which propagate on top of elliptic backgrounds and those which are non-localised periodic disturbances of the latter. The former class of solutions obey a specific equation of state that is in principle experimentally verifiable in systems which realize the sine-Gordon equation. Among both of these classes, there appears to be a particular class of interest the closed dressed strings. They in turn form four distinct subclasses of solutions. Unlike the closed elliptic strings, these four subclasses, exhibit interactions among their spikes. These interactions preserve a carefully defined turning number, which can be associated to the topological charge of the sine-Gordon counterpart. One particular class of those closed dressed strings realizes instabilities of the seed elliptic solutions. The existence of such solutions depends on whether a superluminal kink with a specific velocity can propagate on the corresponding elliptic sine-Gordon solution. Finally, the dispersion relations of the dressed strings are studied. A qualitative difference between the two wide classes of dressed strings is discovered. This would be an interesting subject for investigation in the dual field theory.

description: We construct a spin foam model of Yang-Mills theory coupled to gravity by using a discretized path integral of the BF theory with polynomial interactions and the Barret-Crane ansatz. In the Euclidian gravity case we obtain a vertex amplitude which is determined by a vertex operator acting on a simple spin network function. The Euclidian gravity results can be straightforwardly extended to the Lorentzian case, so that we propose a Lorentzian spin foam model of Yang-Mills theory coupled to gravity.

description: We investigate how the accuracy and stability of numerical relativity simulations of 1D colliding plane waves depends on choices of equation formulations, gauge conditions, boundary conditions, and numerical methods, all in the context of a first-order 3+1 approach to the Einstein equations, with basic variables some combination of first derivatives of the spatial metric and components of the extrinsic curvature tensor. Hyperbolic schemes, specifically variations on schemes proposed by Bona and Masso and Anderson and York, are compared with variations of the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner formulation. Modifications of the three basic schemes include raising one index in the metric derivative and extrinsic curvature variables and adding a multiple of the energy constraint to the extrinsic curvature evolution equations. Redundant variables in the Bona-Masso formulation may be reset frequently or allowed to evolve freely. Gauge conditions which simplify the dynamical structure of the system are imposed during each time step, but the lapse and shift are reset periodically to control the evolution of the spacetime slicing and the longitudinal part of the metric. We show that physically correct boundary conditions, satisfying the energy and momentum constraint equations, generically require the presence of some ingoing eigenmodes of the characteristic matrix. Numerical methods are developed for the hyperbolic systems based on decomposing flux differences into linear combinations of eigenvectors of the characteristic matrix. These methods are shown to be second-order accurate, and in practice second-order convergent, for smooth solutions, even when the eigenvectors and eigenvalues of the characteristic matrix are spatially varying.
