description: There are many types of vaults, and vaulted architecture spans a vast universe of time, space, and typology. As a subject intersects multiple disciplines and fields of knowledge. Vaults can be understood from various perspec-tives – whether focusing on their structural role, their geometric form and resulting spatial configuration, on construction systems and materials, or on fin-ishes and ornamental elements, both painted and sculpted in relief, thereby engaging other forms of artistic expression. Moreover, all these perspectives can be examined across different historical periods and in relation to their geograph-ical distribution.This issue of the Revista de História da Arte focuses on brick vaults within a broader concept of vernacular architecture.

description: The Neutrinos Angra Experiment has completed a major step by finishing the comissioning of the detector and the data acquisition system at the experimental site located in the Angra dos Reis nuclear power plant. The experiment consists of a water-based detector and associated electronics, both designed with the goal of detecting the electron antineutrinos produced by the nuclear reactor. The detection is possible due to the Inverse Beta Decay, where the final products in the water are photons in the UV-to-visible range of the spectrum. The assembled detector comprises three active volumes filled with water: (i) a cubic target detector for electron antineutrinos, covered by 32 8-inches PMTs, (ii) a lateral layer surrounding the target (veto) equipped with 4 PMTs and (iii) a third volume covering the top of both, also equipped with 4~PMTs. In the present document the main features of the detector assembly as well as the integration of the readout electronics on-site are reported. Finally, some operational characteristics are shown based on straightforward analysis of the first measurements performed during the last months with the fully working detector.

description: In a recently developed microscopic mean field theory, we have shown that the dynamics of a system, when described only in terms of its pair structure, can predict the correct dynamical transition temperature. Further, the theory predicted the difference in dynamics of two systems (the Lennard-Jones and the WCA) despite them having quite similar structures. This is in contrast to the Schweizer-Saltzman (SS) formalism which predicted the dynamics of these two systems to be similar. The two theories although similar in spirit have certain differences. Here we present a comparative study of these two formalisms to find the origin of the difference in their predictive power. We show that not only the dynamics in the potential energy surface, as described by our earlier study, but also that in the free energy surface, like in the SS theory, can predict the correct dynamical transition temperature. Even an approximate one component version of our theory, similar to the system used in the SS theory, can predict the transition temperature reasonably well. According to our analysis, the absence of the Vineyard approximation in the SS formalism led it to predict similar dynamics for the two systems. Interestingly, we show here that despite the above mentioned shortcomings the SS theory can actually predict the correct transition temperatures. Thus microscopic mean field theories of this class which express dynamics in terms of the pair structure of the liquid while being unable to predict the actual dynamics of the system are successful in predicting the correct dynamical transition temperature.

"Lifshitz tails" and extended states in an Imaginary random potential

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Non-Hermitean operators may appear during the calculation of a partition function in various models of statistical mechanics. The tail eigen-states, having anomalously small real part of energy $Re(\eps)$, became naturally important in this case. We consider the distribution of such states and the form of eigenfunctions for the particle propagating in an imaginary random potential (the model motivated by the statistics of polymer chains). Unlike it is in the Hermitean quantum mechanics, our tail states are sufficiently extended. Such state appear if the values of random potential turns out to be anomalously close inside the large area. Results of numerical simulations in the case of strong coupling confirm the analytic estimates.

description: The behavior of a neutral polyampholyte ($PA$) chain with $N$ monomers, in an ionic solution, is analyzed in the framework of the full Debye-H$\ddot u $ckel-Bjerrum-Flory $(DHBjF)$ theory. A $PA$ chain, that in addition to the neutral monomers, also contains an equal number of positively and negatively charged monomers, is dissolved in an ionic solution. For \underline{high} concentrations of salt and at high temperatures, the $PA$ exists in an extended state. As the temperature is decreased, the electrostatic energy becomes more relevant and at a $T=T_θ$ the system collapses into a dilute globular state, or microelectrolyte. This state contains a concentration of salt higher than the surrounding medium. As the temperature is decreased even further, association between the monomers of the polymer and the ions of the salt becomes relevant and there is a crossover from this globular state to a low temperature extended state. For \underline{low} densities of salt, the system is collapsed for almost all temperatures and exhibits a first-order phase transition to an extended state at an unphysical low temperature.

Near field communication and localisation with slow waves
Creators: name: Voronov, Artem
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2023

description: The capture volume of near field communication (NFC) systems is limited by adverse scaling laws, antenna perimeter restrictions, and hardware overhead costs. Here, we develop complete, modular, and easily scalable NFC communication and localisation systems based on slow wave antennas. A review of conventional NFC is conducted, the history of radio-frequency identification discussed, and modern capture volume enhancement techniques considered. New methods for power flow modelling in periodic waveguides with complex characteristic impedance are developed and used to design directional filters for receiver isolation and carrier suppression. The tuneable filters comprise coupled sections of magneto-inductive (MI) waveguides and enable infinite carrier rejection and multiple-passband responses. We then develop a novel bistatic tag localisation method for slow wave MI antennas. ISO/IEC 14443 Type-A queries are injected as MI waves and corresponding tag signatures extracted from either antenna end via matched filter-couplers. Pair-wise cross-correlation of tag identifiers is used to calculate the differential TOF, which is converted to a position estimate using the antenna group velocity. Accurate localisation is demonstrated using a planar MI antenna, a custom reader, and off-the-shelf tags. We then design flexible antennas with distributed sensors by periodically loading coaxial cable with field-generating nodes. Various sensor topologies are considered and used in experimental antennas up to 48.5 metres long. Accurate one- and quasi-two-dimensional bistatic localisation is demonstrated, and the feasibility of longer antennas discussed. Finally, we develop monostatic localisation, whereby tag location is achieved with a single receiver using the absolute TOF variation in the delay between the injected reader query and the tag response. Response characteristics of multiple tag classes are characterised, and the effects of carrier power, phase, and sensor-tag separation measured. Accurate one-dimensional positioning is achieved using a flexible loaded transmission line antenna. Conclusions are drawn and the outlook and limitations of slow wave NFC considered.

description: Stochastic gradient descent requires that training samples be drawn from a uniformly random distribution of the data. For a deployed system that must learn online from an uncontrolled and unknown environment, the ordering of input samples often fails to meet this criterion, making lifelong learning a difficult challenge. We exploit the locality of the unsupervised Spike Timing Dependent Plasticity (STDP) learning rule to target local representations in a Spiking Neural Network (SNN) to adapt to novel information while protecting essential information in the remainder of the SNN from catastrophic forgetting. In our Controlled Forgetting Networks (CFNs), novel information triggers stimulated firing and heterogeneously modulated plasticity, inspired by biological dopamine signals, to cause rapid and isolated adaptation in the synapses of neurons associated with outlier information. This targeting controls the forgetting process in a way that reduces the degradation of accuracy for older tasks while learning new tasks. Our experimental results on the MNIST dataset validate the capability of CFNs to learn successfully over time from an unknown, changing environment, achieving 95.36% accuracy, which we believe is the best unsupervised accuracy ever achieved by a fixed-size, single-layer SNN on a completely disjoint MNIST dataset.

description: We show that the exact beta-function β(g) in the continuous 2D gΦ^{4} model possesses the Kramers-Wannier duality symmetry. The duality symmetry transformation \tilde{g}=d(g) such that β(d(g))=d'(g)β(g) is constructed and the approximate values of g^{*} computed from the duality equation d(g^{*})=g^{*} are shown to agree with the available numerical results. The calculation of the beta-function β(g) for the 2D scalar gΦ^{4} field theory based on the strong coupling expansion is developed and the expansion of β(g) in powers of g^{-1} is obtained up to order g^{-8}. The numerical values calculated for the renormalized coupling constant g_{+}^{*} are in reasonable good agreement with the best modern estimates recently obtained from the high-temperature series expansion and with those known from the perturbative four-loop renormalization-group calculations. The application of Cardy's theorem for calculating the renormalized isothermal coupling constant g_{c} of the 2D Ising model and the related universal critical amplitudes is also discussed.

description: We discuss the renormalization of different definitions of quark masses in the Wilson and the tree-level improved SW-Clover fermionic action. For the improved case we give the correct relationship between the quark mass and the hopping parameter. Using perturbative and non-perturbative renormalization constants, we extract quark masses in the $\MSbar$ scheme from Lattice QCD in the quenched approximation at $β=6.0$, $β=6.2$ and $β=6.4$ for both actions. We find: $\bar{m}^{\MSbar}(2 GeV)=5.7 \pm 0.1 \pm 0.8$ MeV, $m_s^{\MSbar}(2GeV)= 130 \pm 2 \pm 18 $ MeV and $m_c^{\MSbar}(2 GeV) = 1662\pm 30\pm 230$ MeV.

description: Autonomous engines operating at the nano-scale can be prone to deleterious fluctuations in the heat and particle currents which increase, for fixed power output, the more reversible the operation regime is. This fundamental trade-off between current fluctuations and entropy production forms the basis of the recently formulated thermodynamic uncertainty relations (TURs). However, these relations have so far only been derived for classical Markovian systems and can be violated in the quantum regime. In this paper we show that the geometry of quantum non-equilibrium steady-states alone, already directly implies the existence of a TUR, but with a looser bound. The geometrical nature of this result makes it extremely general, establishing a fundamental limit for the thermodynamics of precision. Our proof is based on the McLennan-Zubarev ensemble, which provides an exact description of non-equilibrium steady-states. We first prove that the entropy production of this ensemble can be expressed as a quantum relative entropy. The TURs are then shown to be a direct consequence of the quantum Cramer-Rao bound, a fundamental result from parameter estimation theory. By combining techniques from many-body physics and information sciences, our approach also helps to shed light on the delicate relationship between quantum effects and current fluctuations in autonomous machines.

title: A machine learning approach to predict rtms therapy response in major depressive disorder
Creators: name: Shams, Mohammad
Publisher: name: George Mason University
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Major depressive disorder
subject: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation

description: Machine learning techniques have been utilized to predict the outcome of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) treatment in depression, e.g., through classifying the responders (R) and non-responders (NR) to rTMS treatment for major depression disorder (MDD) patients. MDD is among the leading causes of disability in the world with affecting more than 260 million people, and a major contributor to the overall global burden of disease. In this study, the outputs of the Local Subset Feature Selection (LSFS) method were used by an SVM classifier to evaluate the capability of the proposed method in the prediction of rTMS treatment response in depression cases. A Leave-One-Out cross-validation method is applied to the input data to evaluate the performance of the response classification. The achieved accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were 89.5%, 90%, and 87%, respectively. The main restriction of this study that would limit its usage in clinical applications is the small sample size.

description: We consider the full shift $T:Ω\toΩ$ where $Ω=A^{\mathbb N}$, $A$ being a finite alphabet. For a class of potentials which contains in particular potentials $ϕ$ with variation decreasing like $O(n^{-α})$ for some $α>2$, we prove that their corresponding equilibrium state $μ_ϕ$ satisfies a Gaussian concentration bound. Namely, we prove that there exists a constant $C>0$ such that, for all $n$ and for all separately Lipschitz functions $K(x_0,\ldots,x_{n-1})$, the exponential moment of $K(x,\ldots,T^{n-1}x)-\int K(y,\ldots,T^{n-1}y)\, \mathrm{d}μ_ϕ(y)$ is bounded by $\exp\big(C\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}\mathrm{Lip}_i(K)^2\big)$. The crucial point is that $C$ is independent of $n$ and $K$. We then derive various consequences of this inequality. For instance, we obtain bounds on the fluctuations of the empirical frequency of blocks, the speed of convergence of the empirical measure, and speed of Markov approximation of $μ_ϕ$. We also derive an almost-sure central limit theorem.

description: Geo-crowdsourcing is an important emerging technique for geospatial data collection, where contributors identify the position and attributes of features to be included in geographic information systems. The geo-crowdsourcing movement shares many similarities to other well-known citizen science projects, including the use of training to improve the accuracy of the information being collected. This thesis describes an ongoing research project where participants are being trained to contribute data to a crowdsourcing system used to identify accessibility problems associated with transient obstacles and navigation hazards. The training includes information about determining and establishing location of obstacles and defining attributes for obstacles. In order to assess the effectiveness of this training program, student participants were divided into two treatment groups, with one group receiving the standard training program and the other receiving no training other than a short introduction to the project. The students in the trained treatment group were shown images of obstacles along with a characterization of each obstacle, followed by a series of sample images of obstacles that they could practice assessing and characterizing. Student participants in both treatment groups were then led one-by-one on a pre-determined path around campus and asked to report at least 4 obstacles encountered, using a crowdsourcing web-map. Concurrently, several trained project moderators independently characterized all obstacles along the path to provide ground truth for this study, and compiled a master list of obstacles. The moderators then evaluated the reports submitted by study participants and provided a comprehensive quality assessment of each report. Analysis of this quality assessment data using t-tests and Mann-Whitney tests finds that with the small sample size used in this study (n=23) there was no significant difference between the trained participants and the untrained participants. Both groups achieved quality scores in the 60-65% range, with the trained group having a higher (but insignificantly higher) average total quality score, obstacle type quality score, and moderator-assessed final quality score. The untrained group had a slightly higher (but insignificantly higher) average score for accuracy of report location. These findings and their implications are discussed in this thesis, along with future suggested research directions.

description: A fermion model with random on-site potential defined on a two-dimensional square lattice with $π$-flux is studied. The continuum limit of the model near the zero energy yields Dirac fermions with random potentials specified by four independent coupling constants. The basic symmetry of the model is time-reversal invariance. Moreover, it turns out that the model has enhanced (chiral) symmetry on several surfaces in the four-dimensional space of the coupling constants. It is shown that one of the surfaces with chiral symmetry has Sp(n)$\times$Sp(n) symmety whereas others have U(2n) symmetry, both of which are broken to Sp(n), and the fluctuation around a saddle point is described, respectively, by Sp($n)_2$ WZW model and U(2n)/Sp(n) nonlinear sigma model. Based on these results, we propose a phase diagram of the model.

Understanding learning from non-stationary data
Creators: name: Berariu, Tudor
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Deep neural networks are ubiquitous, powering necessary predictions for numerous AI applications. These models are trained on evergrowing data collections, making the old paradigm of optimising neural networks from scratch on a fixed data set inefficient and obsolete. As advocated by the proponents of continual learning, these networks need to efficiently absorb knowledge in stages. We need, therefore, to assume that the training data changes during learning, and models need to adapt fast to the corresponding shifts in the output of the optimisation functions. In this monograph, I discuss the challenges that come with this expectation. This thesis puts together three contributions to this topic. First, we study a surprising fact in supervised learning: pre-training negatively affects the generalisation of fine-tuned models compared to those trained from scratch. We look at this ``generalisation gap'', discuss the conditions for its manifestation and put forward a hypothesis for why it happens. An antidote to this generalisation gap is partially resetting parameters during training. Therefore, the second contribution of the thesis focuses on this regularisation technique and asks how it interacts with more commonly used regularisers and why state-of-the-art setups do not use re-initialisations. For the third contribution, we turn our attention to reinforcement learning, a scenario where the training data distribution shifts continuously because of the changes in the policy interacting with the environment. We propose a technique based on spectral normalisation and demonstrate its efficacy for value-based deep reinforcement learning agents on the Atari benchmark. Hopefully, this thesis brings a couple of useful observations in the era of designing perpetually learning agents and fine-tuning large foundational models.
Leading Loop Effects in Pseudoscalar-Higgs Portal Dark Matter

description: We examine a model with a fermionic dark matter candidate having pseudoscalar interaction with the standard model particles where its direct detection elastic scattering cross section at tree level is highly suppressed. We then calculate analytically the leading loop contribution to the spin independent scattering cross section. It turns out that these loop effects are sizable over a large region of the parameter space. Taking constraints from direct detection experiments, the invisible Higgs decay measurements, observed DM relic density, we find viable regions which are within reach in the future direct detection experiments such as XENONnT.

Ferroelectric Phase Transitions in Films with Depletion Charge

description: We consider ferroelectric phase transitions in both short-circuited and biased ferroelectric-semiconductor films with a space (depletion) charge which leads to some unusual behavior. It is shown that in the presence of the charge the polarization separates into `switchable' and `non-switchable' parts. The electric field, appearing due to the space charge, does not wash out the phase transition, which remains second order but takes place at somewhat reduced temperature. At the same time, it leads to a suppression of the ferroelectricity in a near-electrode layer. This conclusion is valid for materials with both second and first order phase transitions in pure bulk samples. Influence of the depletion charge on thermodynamic coercive field reduces mainly to the lowering of the phase transition temperature, and its effect is negligible. The depletion charge can, however, facilitate an appearance of the domain structure which would be detrimental for device performance (fatigue). We discuss some issues of conceptual character, which are generally known but were overlooked in previous works. The present results have general implications for small systems with depletion charge.

description: Herein, the chemical synthesis and binding analysis of functionalizable rigid and flexible core trivalent sialosides bearing oligoethylene glycol (OEG) spacers interacting with spike proteins of influenza A virus (IAV) X31 is described. Although the flexible Tris‐based trivalent sialosides achieved micromolar binding constants, a trivalent binder based on a rigid adamantane core dominated flexible tripodal compounds with micromolar binding and hemagglutination inhibition constants. Simulation studies indicated increased conformational penalties for long OEG spacers. Using a systematic approach with molecular modeling and simulations as well as biophysical analysis, these findings emphasize on the importance of the scaffold rigidity and the challenges associated with the spacer length optimization.
Construction and universal application of entanglement erasing partner states

description: We investigate the subadditivity of the bipartite entanglement entropy (EE) of many-particle states, represented by Slater determinants, with respect to single particle excitations. In this setting, subadditivity can be phrased as erasure of EE, i.e. as a relative decrease in EE when adding excitations to the quantum state. We identify sets of single particle states that yield zero EE if jointly excited. Such states we dub entanglement erasing partner states (EEPS). These EEPS reveal a mechanism that describes how to disentangle two subspaces of a Hilbert space by exciting additional states. We demonstrate this general finding in Anderson and many-body localized models. The studied concept of entanglement erasure further enables us to derive the EE of Slater determinants in the free tight binding model. Here, our analytical findings show surprisingly good agreement with numerical results of the interacting XXX chain. The described EEPS further impose a universal, i.e. model independent, erasure of EE for randomly excited Slater determinants. This feature allows to compute many-particle EE by means of the associated single particle states and the filling ratio. This novel finding can be employed to drastically reduce the computational effort in free models.
