description: We propose a real-time DNN-based technique to segment hand and object of interacting motions from depth inputs. Our model is called DenseAttentionSeg, which contains a dense attention mechanism to fuse information in different scales and improves the results quality with skip-connections. Besides, we introduce a contour loss in model training, which helps to generate accurate hand and object boundaries. Finally, we propose and release our InterSegHands dataset, a fine-scale hand segmentation dataset containing about 52k depth maps of hand-object interactions. Our experiments evaluate the effectiveness of our techniques and datasets, and indicate that our method outperforms the current state-of-the-art deep segmentation methods on interaction segmentation.

description: A country of approximately 4 million citizens, Lebanon is home to over half a million Asian and black African migrant workers concentrated in its capital city of Beirut. An estimated one quarter of Lebanese households employ a live-in female migrant domestic worker on a full time basis. Over the last decade, many of these women have fled domestic confinement to enter Lebanon’s informal labour market, and have recently been joined by hundreds of thousands of Syrian refugees fleeing war across the country’s eastern border. This dissertation examines the social worlds of these migrant workers. It demonstrates that non-Arab migrant workers in Beirut are not simply temporary workers, but constitute a specific subject category structured by socioeconomic relations that determine the possibility of their life in the city. Specifically, it argues that migrant workers in Beirut are subjects denied recognition, and who therefore lie outside the nation-state, while having forged an urban belonging inside the city. I demonstrate this by examining migrant workers’ interactions with the joint nexus of citizen-state authority, their experiences of time in both labour and rest, their modes of receiving address and inhabiting speech in the Arabic language, and their intimate and collective relations in the city. Together with growing numbers of male Syrian refugees, migrant workers in Beirut have created an urban underground that has transformed both what and who it means to live in the city today. This dissertation offers an ethnographic map of these transformations.

description: VVV J12564163$-$6202039 is an L subdwarf located in the Galactic plane ($b$ = 0.831 deg) discovered by its high proper motion (1.1 arcsec yr/s). We obtained an optical to near-infrared spectrum of it with the X-shooter on the Very Large Telescope, and re-classified it as an sdL3 subdwarf. Its best-fitting BT-Dusty model spectrum has $T_{\rm eff}$ = 2220 K, [Fe/H] = $-0.9$, and log $g$ = 5.5. It is just below the stellar/substellar boundary in the $T_{\rm eff}$ versus [Fe/H] parameter space. This object is at a distance of 66.94$^{+8.49}_{-6.77}$ pc according to the $Gaia$ astrometry. It has a halo membership probability of 99.82 per cent according to its Galactic kinematics. It has unusually flat (|$Z$| < 500 pc) and extremely eccentric (e = 0.9) prograde orbit that takes the source from as close as 1.2 kpc from the Galactic centre to 24 kpc out. VVV J12564163$-$6202039 joined by SDSS J133348.24+273508.8 and ULAS J021258.08+064115.9 are the only three known objects in the sdL subclass that have halo kinematics.

description: In this paper we investigate a quantum stochastic calculus build of creation, annihilation and number of particles operators which fulfill some deformed commutation relations. Namely, we introduce a deformation of a number of particles operator which has simple commutation relations with well known q-deformed creation and annihilation operators. Since all operators considered in this theory are bounded we do not deal with some difficulties of a non deformed theory of Hudson and Parthasarathy. We define stochastic integrals and estimate them in the operator norm. We prove Ito's formula as well.

description: We study a resistively shunted semiconductor superlattice subject to a high-frequency electric field. Using a balance equation approach that incorporates the influence of the electric circuit, we determine numerically a range of amplitude and frequency of the ac field for which a dc bias and current are generated spontaneously and show that this region is likely accessible to current experiments. Our simulations reveal that the Bloch frequency corresponding to the spontaneous dc bias is approximately an integer multiple of the ac field frequency.

description: Sussex Archaeological Collections, 122, 139-146
description: The foundation or expansion of the Brighthelmston [Brighton] charity school in the first years of the 18th century was probably instigated by the propaganda of the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge. The objectives of the subscribers can readily be inferred: to counter the growing strength of protestant dissent, and to mitigate the risk of social disorder due to the town's destitution. The initiative and financial support seem to have come almost entirely from outside the town, and doctrinal scruples were put aside in favour of educational excellence, in the employment of a prominent Quaker as schoolmaster for some 50 years. The ages and destination upon leaving of the boys at the school in 1702-5 are examined.

description: A three dimensional black hole solution of Einstein equations with negative cosmological constant coupled to a conformal scalar field is given. The solution is static, circularly symmetric, asymptotically anti-de Sitter and nonperturbative in the conformal field. The curvature tensor is singular at the origin while the scalar field is regular everywhere. The condition that the Euclidean geometry be regular at the horizon fixes the temperature to be $T=\frac{9\, r_+}{16πl^2}$. Using the Hamiltonian formulation including boundary terms of the Euclidean action, the entropy is found to be $\frac{2}{3}$ of the standard value ($\frac{1}{4} A$), and in agreement with the first law of thermodynamics.

description: Stars which start their lives with spectral types O and early-B are the progenitors of core-collapse supernovae, long gamma-ray bursts, neutron stars, and black holes. These massive stars are the primary sources of stellar feedback in star-forming galaxies. At low metallicities, the properties of massive stars and their evolution are not yet fully explored. Here we report a spectroscopic study of 320 OB stars in the Small Magellanic Cloud. The data, which we obtained with the ESO Very Large Telescope, were analyzed using state-of-the-art stellar atmosphere models. We find that stellar winds of our sample stars are much weaker than theoretically expected. The stellar rotation rates show a bi-modal distribution. The well-populated upper Hertzsprung-Russell diagram including our sample OB stars from SMC Wing as well as additional evolved stars all over SMC from the literature shows a strict luminosity limit. The comparison with single-star evolutionary tracks suggests a dichotomy in the fate of massive stars in the SMC. Only stars with Minit<30M$_{\odot}$ seem to evolve from the main sequence to the cool side of the HRD to become a red supergiant and to explode as type II-P supernova. In contrast, stars with Minit>30M$_{\odot}$ appear to stay always hot and might evolve quasi chemically homogeneously, finally collapsing to relatively massive black holes. However, we find no indication that chemical mixing is correlated with rapid rotation. We report extended star-formation episodes in a quiescent low-density region of the Wing, which is progressing stochastically. We measure the key parameters of stellar feedback and establish the links between the rates of star formation and supernovae. Our study reveals that in metal-poor environments the stellar feedback is dominated by core-collapse supernovae in combination with winds and ionizing radiation supplied by a few of the most massive stars.

description: Multisource cone beam computed tomography CBCT (ms-CBCT) has been shown to overcome some of the inherent limitations of a conventional CBCT. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of ms-CBCT for measuring the bone mineral density (BMD) of mandible and maxilla compared to the conventional CBCT. The values measured from a multi-detector CT (MDCT) were used as substitutes for the ground truth. An anthropomorphic adult skull and tissue equivalent head phantom and a homemade calibration phantom containing inserts with varying densities of calcium hydroxyapatite were imaged using the ms-CBCT, the ms-CBCT operating in the conventional single source CBCT mode, and two clinical CBCT scanners at similar imaging doses; and a clinical MDCT. The images of the anthropomorphic head phantom were reconstructed and registered, and the cortical and cancellous bones of the mandible and the maxilla were segmented. The measured CT Hounsfield Unit (HU) and Greyscale Value (GV) at multiple region-of-interests were converted to the BMD using scanner-specific calibration functions. The results from the various CBCT scanners were compared to that from the MDCT. Statistical analysis showed a significant improvement in the agreement between the ms-CBCT and MDCT compared to that between the CBCT and MDCT.

Minding Our Own Business: Community, Consumers and Cooperation

description: The 20th century Cooperative Movement emerged out of a need for people to gain some control over the enormous social and economic changes sweeping the country in the first half of the century.  While industrialization and corporate consolidation that occurred during this period offered a range of new opportunities for people who had the means to take advantage of them, entire sectors of the population - farmers, workers, immigrants and African Americans - suffered economic disenfranchisement that severely restricted their ability to participate in the expanding marketplace.  Some members of these groups believed the cooperative movement might provide the means to manipulate the emerging political economy to serve their needs by modifying the conventions of individual agency through collective action. Cooperatives, largely organized by the economically disenfranchised groups, promised protection from exploitation (such as price gouging, the passing off of inferior products, and unfair hiring practices) on the part of an increasingly powerful corporate capitalist elite.  Cooperators believed that by withdrawing their money from the national market and redirecting excess capital back to the consumers of their communities they could use their acquired power to safeguard local political, social and economic interests. While the economic and political benefits of self-empowered consumers helped knit together large numbers of like-minded individuals, what truly sustained the cooperatives was the fact that they almost always emerged among groups of people that shared significant connections above and beyond economic need.  For example, cooperatives tended to form among communities of people with similar backgrounds, defined by characteristics such as ethnicity, language, and race.  These community connections, fostered through social and cultural activities, rooted individuals within the historical experiences of a cohesive group and made it possible for cooperatives formed by such groups to command the loyalty of their members. When cooperative leaders, however, tried to launch a national effort to broaden the scope and power of the cooperative movement, they failed to foster the local, grassroots community connections that had made cooperatives successful in the first place.  As a result, the movement faltered.  This dissertation contributes to the history of working class, local activism around consumerism and highlights the importance of community connections in the success and failure of cooperatives.

description: The aim of this qualitative case study was to shed light on factors perceived by facilitators of adult learning to influence the transformation of their fixed/growth mindsets with the potential for enhanced or sustained feedback receptivity. This was achieved by exploring the experiences of a core team of facilitators of adult education in an elite Tier I University Based Coaching Certification Program (UBCCP) located in the northeast United States. Informed through an extensive review of the literature, I hoped to identify commonalities/differences among the various core team members (whose experiences are so varied) regarding their perceptions of high impact adult learning in this team facilitation context. Specifically, the purpose of this qualitative case study was to explore their experiences as a means of identifying, describing, and furthering an understanding of the factors perceived to promote the perspective transformation required to ensure the UBCCP program can be scaled efficiently, effectively, and most importantly, with integrity and fidelity.Toward that end, I collected relevant assessment data from each core team member to inform the one-to-one interviews. Data collection methods included document analysis, pre-interview data forms, the results of four survey instruments (two self-focused and two context-focused), and in-depth interviews (including verbal examples of each facilitator’s high and low point experiences in the UBCCP setting). A data analysis process was developed to examine the potential connection between mindset, feedback orientation, feedback environment, and the learning climate of the UBCCP. The study’s findings confirmed that an interplay does exist between an individual’s mindset and feedback orientation and the feedback environment. The study also confirmed that although that interplay appears to influence the learning climate to some degree, different factors, (e.g., professional development, psychological safety, etc.) have a greater impact on how the facilitators of adult education of the UBCCP are experiencing the learning climate. Finally, the study confirmed that mindset, feedback orientation, the feedback environment, and the learning climate are interconnected, and all contribute to the perspective transformation that leads to feedback receptivity.

description: The stochastic inflation program is a framework for understanding the dynamics of a quantum scalar field driving an inflationary phase. Though widely used and accepted, there have over recent years been serious criticisms of this theory. In this paper I will present a new theory of stochastic inflation which avoids the problems of the conventional approach. Specifically, the theory can address the quantum-to-classical transition problem, and it will be shown to lead to a dramatic easing of the fine tuning constraints that have plagued inflation theories.

description: This study explored the relationship between (1) parent mathematical mindset and student mathematical experience (as determined by student mathematical mindset, student mathematical achievement, and student mathematical grit), (2) participant general mindset and participant mathematical mindset, and (3) student general grit and student mathematical grit.  Participants included 14 high school seniors and their active parent(s) or guardian(s) (N=38).  The research followed a hermeneutical phenomenological approach - a qualitative research methodology characterized by finding meaning through the subjective interpretation of participants.  Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected to describe the phenomenon of student mathematical experience, as well as the internal consistency of mindsets as applied to general intelligence and mathematical intelligence.
      A moderate positive association was found between participants' general mindsets and mathematical mindsets.  Despite the consistencies, 37% of participants had mathematical mindsets that were in tension with their general mindset.  The present study advocates that general mindsets and mathematical mindsets are not as closely associated, thereby supporting the theory that mindsets can vary by subject domain.
      In contrast, a strong positive association was found between students' general grit and their mathematical grit.  To that effect, the study contributed to the field in two ways: (1) by exposing further variability in mindsets dependent on subject domain; and (2) by exposing grit as more fundamentally consistent than mindset when applied to different subject domains.
      Additionally, parent mathematical mindset is not associated with student mathematical mindset.  It's possible that (1) parents' mathematical mindsets are not visible to their children, (2) parents suppress their beliefs regarding mathematical intelligence, or (3) external factors, such as cultural influences, compete in shaping students' mindsets.
      Finally, although no relation was found between parent mathematical mindset and both student GPA and SAT score, an inverse relationship was observed between parent mathematical mindset and student highest-level mathematics course taken.  Markedly, students of parents with a mathematics-fixed mindset appear to take more advanced mathematics courses, whereas students of parents with a mathematics-growth mindset appear to take lower-level courses.  This suggests that student effort may be in tension with the evaluation of effort by their parents.

Wild ruminant study at Brenda Mines

description: A wild ruminant study was undertaken at the Brenda Mines site in 1999 to determine the numbers of mule deer and whether they showed symptoms of molybdenosis. About 32 mule deer were estimated to utilise the site during the summer. This number included both breeding and non-breeding adults and fawns. Because animals tend to return to familiar summer home ranges, we assume that does using the site successfully reproduce. A variety of age classes were noted including large bucks, indicating animals reach maturity. Deer were observed feeding on vegetation on the tailings beach area and waste rock piles, as well as surrounding areas. Animals were not limited to these areas and spent time in the surrounding forest. Molybdenum concentrations in forage from revegetated areas, while elevated, remain below levels reported to lead to symptoms of molybdenum toxicity in mule deer. None of the animals exhibited any outward signs of molybdenum toxicity such as weight loss, discolouration of hair or impaired locomotion. No dying or dead animals were encountered. Faecal pellets encountered on the site for the most part were normal in consistency, with little evidence of diarrhoea, one possible symptom of excessive molybdenum intake. These observations combined with the wide-ranging foraging behaviour of deer, indicate that molybdenosis is unlikely to be found in wild ruminants utilizing the mine site.

We study the ground-state lattice fluctuation where the system shows a characteristic structure factor. We also study the mass dependence of magnetic properties such as the magnetic susceptibility and the magnetic excitation spectrum. For heavy mass, the system shows the same behavior as the case of classical lattice vibration. On the other hand, for light mass, magnetic properties coincide with those of the static uniform chain. We investigate the physical mechanism of this behavior and propose the picture of quantum narrowing.

description: Virtual Reality (VR) and 360-degree video streaming have gained significant attention in recent years. First standards have been published in order to avoid market fragmentation. For instance, 3GPP released its first VR specification to enable 360-degree video streaming over 5G networks which relies on several technologies specified in ISO/IEC 23090-2, also known as MPEG-OMAF. While some implementations of OMAF-compatible players have already been demonstrated at several trade shows, so far, no web browser-based implementations have been presented. In this demo paper we describe a browser-based JavaScript player implementation of the most advanced media profile of OMAF: HEVC-based viewport-dependent OMAF video profile, also known as tile-based streaming, with multi-resolution HEVC tiles. We also describe the applied workarounds for the implementation challenges we encountered with state-of-the-art HTML5 browsers. The presented implementation was tested in the Safari browser with support of HEVC video through the HTML5 Media Source Extensions API. In addition, the WebGL API was used for rendering, using region-wise packing metadata as defined in OMAF.

description: The Ministry of Energy and Mines initiated the Historic Mine Sites Project in 2000. The purpose of this project was to start an inventory of historic mine sites to better understand if these sites represent environmental or public health and safety liabilities in British Columbia, and to develop a Historic Mine Sites database. Field based inspections were conducted across the province in the summer of 2000. To date, 62 sites have been inspected which included sampling of mine drainage for analysis of heavy metal content as well as documentation of other site specific information. Many other provinces across Canada are undertaking similar studies including Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec and Nova Scotia. This paper provides an overview of this project. Full project details and results are published in Ministry of Energy and Mines Open File 2003-03.

description: We report our investigation on the doubly virtual TFFs $F_{{\rm P}γ^*}(Q^2_1,Q^2_2)$ for the ${\rm P}\toγ^*(q_1)γ^*(q_2) \;({\rm P}=π^0,η,η')$ transitions using the light-front quark model (LFQM). Performing a LF calculation in the exactly solvable manifestly covariant Bethe-Salpeter (BS) model as the first illustration, we used $q^+_1=0$ frame and found that both LF and manifestly covariant calculations produce exactly the same results for $F_{{\rm P}γ^*}(Q^2_1,Q^2_2)$. This confirms the absence of the LF zero mode in the doubly virtual TFFs. We then mapped this covariant BS model to the standard LFQM using the more phenomenologically accessible Gaussian wave function provided by the LFQM analysis of meson mass spectra. For the numerical analyses of $F_{{\rm P}γ^*}(Q^2_1,Q^2_2)$, we compared our LFQM results with the available experimental data and the perturbative QCD (pQCD) and the vector meson dominance (VMD) model predictions. As $(Q^2_1, Q^2_2)\to\infty$, our LFQM result for doubly virtual TFF is consistent with the pQCD prediction, i.e. $F_{{\rm P}γ^*}(Q^2_1, Q^2_2)\sim 1/(Q^2_1 + Q^2_2)$, while it differs far from the result of VMD model which behaves $F^{\rm VMD}_{{\rm P}γ^*}(Q^2_1, Q^2_2)\sim 1/(Q^2_1 Q^2_2)$. Our LFQM prediction for $F_{η'γ^*}(Q^2_1,Q^2_2)$ shows an agreement with the very recent experimental data obtained from the BaBar collaboration for the ranges of $2< Q^2_1, Q^2_1 <60$ GeV$^2$.

description: We show that avoided crossings of energy bands may give rise to a variety of phenomena such as transitions from metal to insulator and vice versa, changes in localization lengths, and changes in the fractal dimension of energy spectra. We explain the occurrence of these phenomena in the kicked Harper model under classically chaotic conditions and predict them to occur in other systems.

Mining Urban Heat

Year: 2015
Subjects: Zoning

description: This study is about realigning the demand of energy in urban environments to take advantage of the excess energy from passive and mechanical sources - it is about mining urban heat.

My interests in this topic lies in the possibility of designing an ecology of urban spaces with symbiotic relationships between thermal supply and demand. To this end, the thesis begins by mapping the availability of secondary heat from solar radiant sources, and building process systems, showing that an estimated 28.285 Trillion British Thermal Units (BTU) of heat are available for reuse in New York City -  this is equal to 52 percent of the energy produced at the Indian Point Power Station in one year. If one hundred percent of this secondary heat could be captured and reused New York City could save up to 182 billion dollars in electricity purchase per year.

The study explores how zoning and building code could be altered to capture these savings, eventually creating cities with net zero secondary heat production. Design proposals for a net-zero secondary heat city include co-location of building uses based on complementary heating demand schedules, distribution networks for available low grade secondary heat and consideration of viable end uses for this low grade heat, de-centralizing industries that regularly use large quantities of high grade heat to serve as neighborhood hearths of secondary heat production, and establishment of heat sinks by neighborhood in the form of open space. The thesis explores the technical, spatial and policy implications of these ideas in selected New York City neighborhoods.

description: A convex geometry is a closure system satisfying the anti-exchange property. This paper, following the work of Adaricheva and Bolat (Discrete Math 342(N3):726–746, 2019) and the Polymath REU 2020 team (Convex geometries representable by at most 5 circles on the plane. arXiv:2008.13077), continues to investigate representations of convex geometries on a 5-element base set. It introduces several properties: the opposite property, nested triangle property, area Q property, and separation property, of convex geometries of circles on a plane, preventing this representation for numerous convex geometries on a 5-element base set. It also demonstrates that all 672 convex geometries on a 5-element base set have a representation by ellipses, as given in the appendix for those without a known representation by circles, and introduces a method of expanding representation with circles by defining unary predicates, shown as colors.

description: This paper presents a novel method for extracting the vocal track from a musical mixture. The musical mixture consists of a singing voice and a backing track which may comprise of various instruments. We use a convolutional network with skip and residual connections as well as dilated convolutions to estimate vocoder parameters, given the spectrogram of an input mixture. The estimated parameters are then used to synthesize the vocal track, without any interference from the backing track. We evaluate our system, through objective metrics pertinent to audio quality and interference from background sources, and via a comparative subjective evaluation. We use open-source source separation systems based on Non-negative Matrix Factorization (NMFs) and Deep Learning methods as benchmarks for our system and discuss future applications for this particular algorithm.
Instability of a Pseudo-Relativistic Model of Matter with Self-Generated Magnetic Field

description: For a pseudo-relativistic model of matter, based on the no-pair Hamiltonian, we prove that the inclusion of the interaction with the self-generated magnetic field leads to instability for all positive values of the fine structure constant. This is true no matter whether this interaction is accounted for by the Breit potential, by an external magnetic field which is chosen to minimize the energy, or by the quantized radiation field.

description: Purpose: An important predictor of postsecondary academic success is an individual’s reading comprehension skills. Postsecondary readers apply a wide range of behavioral strategies to process text for learning purposes. Currently, no tools exist to detect a reader’s use of strategies. The primary aim of this study was to develop Read, Understand, Learn, & Excel, an automated tool designed to detect reading strategy use and explore its accuracy in detecting strategies when students read digital, expository text.Method: An iterative design was used to develop the computer algorithm for detecting 9 reading strategies. Twelve undergraduate students read 2 expository texts that were equated for length and complexity. A human observer documented the strategies employed by each reader, whereas the computer used digital sequences to detect the same strategies. Data were then coded and analyzed to determine agreement between the 2 sources of strategy detection (i.e., the computer and the observer).Results: Agreement between the computer- and human-coded strategies was 75% or higher for 6 out of the 9 strategies. Only 3 out of the 9 strategies–previewing content, evaluating amount of remaining text, and periodic review and/or iterative summarizing–had less than 60% agreement.Conclusion: Read, Understand, Learn, & Excel provides proof of concept that a reader’s approach to engaging with academic text can be objectively and automatically captured. Clinical implications and suggestions to improve the sensitivity of the code are discussed.
