description: We perform a comparison of different approaches to star-galaxy classification using the broad-band photometric data from Year 1 of the Dark Energy Survey. This is done by performing a wide range of tests with and without external `truth' information, which can be ported to other similar datasets. We make a broad evaluation of the performance of the classifiers in two science cases with DES data that are most affected by this systematic effect: large-scale structure and Milky Way studies. In general, even though the default morphological classifiers used for DES Y1 cosmology studies are sufficient to maintain a low level of systematic contamination from stellar mis-classification, contamination can be reduced to the O(1%) level by using multi-epoch and infrared information from external datasets. For Milky Way studies the stellar sample can be augmented by ~20% for a given flux limit. Reference catalogs used in this work will be made available upon publication.

Schrödinger formalism for a particle constrained to a surface in $\mathbb{R}_1^3$

description: In this work it is studied the Schrödinger equation for a non-relativistic particle restricted to move on a surface $S$ in a three-dimensional Minkowskian medium $\mathbb{R}_1^3$, i.e., the space $\mathbb{R}^3$ equipped with the metric $\text{diag}(-1,1,1)$. After establishing the consistency of the interpretative postulates for the new Schrödinger equation, namely the conservation of probability and the hermiticity of the new Hamiltonian built out of the Laplacian in $\mathbb{R}_1^3$, we investigate the confining potential formalism in the new effective geometry. Like in the well-known Euclidean case, it is found a geometry-induced potential acting on the dynamics $V_S = - \frac{\hbar^{2}}{2m} \left(\varepsilon H^2-K\right)$ which, besides the usual dependence on the mean ($H$) and Gaussian ($K$) curvatures of the surface, has the remarkable feature of a dependence on the signature of the induced metric of the surface: $\varepsilon= +1$ if the signature is $(-,+)$, and $\varepsilon=1$ if the signature is $(+,+)$. Applications to surfaces of revolution in $\mathbb{R}^3_1$ are examined, and we provide examples where the Schrödinger equation is exactly solvable. It is hoped that our formalism will prove useful in the modeling of novel materials such as hyperbolic metamaterials, which are characterized by a hyperbolic dispersion relation, in contrast to the usual spherical (elliptic) dispersion typically found in conventional materials.

The Energy Dissipation Rate of Supersonic, Magnetohydrodynamic Turbulence in Molecular Clouds
Creators: name: Mac Low, Mordecai-Mark
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Molecular clouds have broad linewidths suggesting turbulent supersonic motions in the clouds. These motions are usually invoked to explain why molecular clouds take much longer than a free-fall time to form stars. It has classically been thought that supersonic hydrodynamical turbulence would dissipate its energy quickly, but that the introduction of strong magnetic fields could maintain these motions. In a previous paper it has been shown, however, that isothermal, compressible, MHD and hydrodynamical turbulence decay at virtually the same rate, requiring that constant driving occur to maintain the observed turbulence. In this paper direct numerical computations of uniformly driven turbulence with the ZEUS astrophysical MHD code are used to derive the absolute value of energy dissipation as a function of the driving wavelength and amplitude. The ratio of the formal decay time of turbulence E_{kin}/\dot{E}_{kin} to the free-fall time of the gas can then be derived as a function of the ratio of driving wavelength to Jeans wavelength and rms Mach number, and shown to be most likely far less than unity, again showing that turbulence in molecular clouds must be constantly and strongly driven.

description: Let $X$ be a normal projective variety admitting a polarized or int-amplified endomorphism $f$. We list up characteristic properties of such an endomorphism and classify such a variety from the aspects of its singularity, anti-canonical divisor and Kodaira dimension. Then we run the equivariant minimal model program with respect to not just the single $f$ but also the monoid $SEnd(X)$ of all surjective endomorphisms of $X$, up to finite-index. Several applications are given. We also give both algebraic and geometric characterizations of toric varieties via polarized endomorphisms.

description: This study aims to evaluate the ocular surface characteristics in children diagnosed with uveitis and explore the association between uveitis and dry eye disease (DED). We included 84 children, 42 with uveitis and 42 healthy children. We performed the OSDI questionnaire and several ocular surface tests, including osmolarity, NITBUT, Schirmer test, and vital staining. We used Fisher’s exact test and Mann-Whitney to compare variables and a binomial logistic regression to determine the factors associated with DED. The difference in the prevalence of DED between uveitis (54.8%) and healthy (31%) groups was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Most patients with uveitis had mixed DED, and none of the healthy subjects had a severe form of the disease. There were no statistically significant differences in most of the tear film tests. However, all parameters tended to worsen in the uveitis group, and lipid layer thickness was thinner (p < 0.036). The uveitis group exhibited significantly more symptoms (p < 0.05). In the multivariate logistic regression, uveitis was associated with an odds ratio (OR) of 3.0 (95% CI: 1.07–8.42, p < 0.05) for DED. Our findings demonstrate a significantly higher prevalence of DED in children with uveitis compared to their healthy counterparts. Furthermore, our analysis indicates that the risk of DED in pediatric patients with uveitis is threefold higher than in healthy children. Therefore, it is crucial for clinicians to vigilantly monitor the development of DED in pediatric patients with uveitis and consider the implementation of preventive treatments.

description: This paper deals with neural networks as dynamical systems governed by differential or difference equations. It shows that the introduction of skip connections into network architectures, such as residual networks and dense networks, turns a system of static equations into a system of dynamical equations with varying levels of smoothness on the layer-wise transformations. Closed form solutions for the state space representations of general dense networks, as well as $k^{th}$ order smooth networks, are found in general settings. Furthermore, it is shown that imposing $k^{th}$ order smoothness on a network architecture with $d$-many nodes per layer increases the state space dimension by a multiple of $k$, and so the effective embedding dimension of the data manifold is $k \cdot d$-many dimensions. It follows that network architectures of these types reduce the number of parameters needed to maintain the same embedding dimension by a factor of $k^2$ when compared to an equivalent first-order, residual network, significantly motivating the development of network architectures of these types. Numerical simulations were run to validate parts of the developed theory.

description: In the latter moments of 17 July 2023, the solar active region 13363, near the southwestern face of the Sun, was undergoing considerable evolution, which resulted in a significant solar energetic particle (SEP) event measured by Parker Solar Probe's Integrated Science Investigation of the Sun (ISOIS) and near-Earth spacecraft. Remote observations from GOES and CHASE captured two M5.0+ solar flares that peaked at 23:34 and 00:06 UT from the source region. In tandem, STEREO COR2 first recorded a small, narrow coronal mass ejection (CME) emerging at 22:54 UT and then saw a major halo CME emerge at 23:43 UT with a bright, rapidly expanding core and CME-driven magnetic shock with an estimated speed of $\sim$1400 $kms^{-1}$. Parker Solar Probe was positioned at 0.65 au, near-perfectly on the nominal Parker spiral magnetic field line which connected Earth and the active region for a 537 $kms^{-1}$ ambient solar wind speed at L1. This fortuitous alignment provided the opportunity to examine how the SEP velocity dispersion, energy spectra, elemental composition, and fluence varied from 0.65 to 1 au along a shared magnetic connection to the Sun. We find a strong radial gradient, which is best characterized for H and He as $r^{-4.0}$ and most surprisingly is stronger for O and Fe which is better described by $r^{-5.7}$.

description: The information-carrying capacity of a memory is known to be a thermodynamic resource facilitating the conversion of heat to work. Szilard's engine explicates this connection through a toy example involving an energy-degenerate two-state memory. We devise a formalism to quantify the thermodynamic value of memory in general quantum systems with nontrivial energy landscapes. Calling this the thermal information capacity, we show that it converges to the non-equilibrium Helmholtz free energy in the thermodynamic limit. We compute the capacity exactly for a general two-state (qubit) memory away from the thermodynamic limit, and find it to be distinct from known free energies. We outline an explicit memory--bath coupling that can approximate the optimal qubit thermal information capacity arbitrarily well.

description: We consider a random time evolution operator composed of a circuit of random unitaries coupling even and odd neighboring spins on a chain in turn. In spirit of Floquet evolution, the circuit is time-periodic; each timestep is repeated with the same random instances. We obtain analytical results for arbitrary local Hilbert space dimension d: On a single site, average time evolution acts as a depolarising channel. In the spin 1/2 (d=2) case, this is further quantified numerically. For that, we develop a new numerical method that reduces complexity by an exponential factor. Haar-distributed unitaries lead to full depolarization after many timesteps, i.e. local thermalization. A unitary probability distribution with tunable coupling strength allows us to observe a many-body localization transition. In addition to a spin chain under a unitary circuit, we consider the analogous problem with Gaussian circuits. We can make stronger statements about the entire covariance matrix instead of single sites only, and find that the dynamics is localising. For a random time evolution operator homogeneous in space, however, the system delocalizes.
Taco truck urban topographies and the spatiality of orderly disorder

Taco trucks

description: This dissertation examines Mexican immigrant socio-spatial practices around taco trucks in four cities across the United States: Oakland, California; Sacramento, California; Columbus, Ohio; and Austin, Texas. The dissertation is an empirically grounded analysis of the trucks’ social performances. Taco truck space is a representational practice that takes on a myriad of meanings to divergent community groups. Taco truck owners traverse the city to find spaces where they are most appreciated and least harassed. As they navigate these often invisible and uneven topographies, their methodical movements produce atypical rhythms in municipalities across the nation. These idiosyncratic patterns denote various American ideologies toward taco trucks in particular, and Mexican immigrants in general. Moreover, because the trucks are mobile and cannot be completely eradicated, the taco trucks become symbolic spaces of empowerment. They come to represent Mexican cultural perseverance, as well as resistance to the existing community hegemony that may try to erase them from the landscape. The dissertation elucidates the obscure social processes that sculpt a city’s cultural contours across the United States. For instance, taco truck space in some cities is often manipulated by discriminatory planning initiatives that dictate where Mexican food practices can take place; while in other more affluent neighborhoods, new artisanal food trucks plagiarize proletariat Mexican street food practices, which are primarily celebrated by non-Latino middle-class patrons. It is not uncommon for many of a city’s restaurateurs to perceive taco truck space as blight. This notion rings especially true in cases where a city adopts the new urban mantra, “Farm-to-Fork,” where the urban environment continues to be upgraded by the hands of developers. These improvements lead to the proliferation of urban landscapes with sidewalk cafes and new restaurants that ultimately push Mexican food practices to the city’s periphery. In contrast, some city planners capitalize on Mexican cuisine culture and promote taco truck space as a way to market a city’s open-mindedness and ethnic diversity to attract the creative class to further economic development. The dissertation argues that eating at taco trucks is more than just a simple act that reinforces identity to the Mexican immigrant—it is also a spatial representational practice that performs one’s right to inhabit public space and the city at large.

description: To evaluate the association between quantitative parameters derived from volume analysis of optical coherence tomography (OCT) data and disease worsening in Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada disease (VKHD) and sympathetic ophthalmia (SO). This retrospective study, conducted at Osaka University Hospital, employed swept-source OCT scans from patients diagnosed with VKHD or SO between October 2012 and January 2021. The choroidal vessel structure was segmented and visualized in three dimensions, generating quantitative vessel volume maps. Region-specific choroidal vessel volume (CVV), choroidal volume (CV), and vessel index (VI) were scrutinized for their potential correlation with disease severity. Thirty-five eyes of 18 VKHD and 2 SO patient (8 females, 10 males) were evaluated. OCT-derived CVV maps revealed regional CV alterations in VKHD and SO patients. Two parameters, i.e. CV at 3- and 6-month follow-ups (p = 0.044, p = 0.040, respectively, with area under the ROC curve of 0.70) and CVV at 6 months (p = 0.046, area under the ROC curve of 0.71), were significantly higher in recurrent VKHD and SO compared to effectively treated cases. The volume analysis of OCT images facilitates a three-dimensional visualization of choroidal alterations, which may serve as a reflection of disease severity in VKHD and SO patients. Furthermore, noninvasive initial CVV or CV measurements may serve as potential biomarkers for predicting disease recurrence in VKHD and SO.

description: In this paper, we suggest a method of a complete calculation of the Sommerfeld effect in both the s-wave and p-wave annihilation situations. The basic idea is to uniformly consider the equal-time Beth-Salpeter wave functions of both the dark matter and the final state particles, then short-distance interactions can be parametrized as a cross-term considering the equations. Solving these equations will result in the complete formulas of the cross sections with the Sommerfeld effects.

description: We perform fully self-consistent stellar dynamical simulations of the accretion of a companion ("satellite") galaxy by a large disk galaxy to investigate the interaction between the disk, halo, and satellite components of the system during a merger. Our fiducial encounter begins with a satellite in a prograde, circular orbit inclined thirty degrees with respect to the disk plane at a galactocentric distance of six disk scalelengths. The satellite's mass is 10% of the disk's mass and its half-mass radius is about 1.3 kpc. The system is modelled with 500 000 particles, sufficient to mitigate numerical relaxation noise over the merging time. The satellite sinks in only ~1 Gyr and a core containing ~45% of its initial mass reaches the centre of the disk. With so much of the satellite's mass remaining intact, the disk sustains significant damage as the satellite passes through. At the solar circle we find that the disk thickens ~60%, the velocity dispersions increase by $Δ\mbox{\boldmath$σ$} \simeq (10,8,8)$ km/s to $(σ_R, σ_ϕ, σ_z) \simeq (48, 42, 38)$ km/s, and the asymmetric drift is unchanged at ~18 km/s. Although the disk is not destroyed by these events (hence "minor" mergers), its final state resembles a disk galaxy of earlier Hubble type than its initial state, thicker and hotter, with the satellite's core enhancing the bulge. Thus minor mergers continue to be a promising mechanism for driving galaxy evolution.

Using a hierarchical tree gravity solver combined with a sticky-particle gas dissipation scheme for our simulations, we have investigated three mechanisms: episodic and continuous gas infall, and a merger with a gas-rich dwarf galaxy. We find that both episodic and continuous gas infall work reasonably well and are able to produce a substantial gas counterrotating disk without upsetting the stability of the existing disk drastically, but it is very important for the gas to be well-dispersed in phase-space and not form concentrated clumps prior to its absorption by the disk galaxy. The initial angular momentum of the gas also plays a crucial role in determining the scale length of the counterrotating disk formed and the time it takes to form. The rate of infall, i.e. the mass of gas falling in per unit time, has to be small enough to preclude excessive heating of the preexisting disk. It is much easier in general to produce a smaller counterrotating disk than it is to produce an extensive disk whose scale length is similar to that of the original prograde disk. A gas-rich dwarf merger does not appear to be a viable mechanism to produce a massive counterrotating disk, because only a very small dwarf galaxy can produce a counterrotating disk without increasing the thickness of the existing disk by an order of magnitude, and the time-scale for this process is prohibitively long because it makes it very unlikely that several such mergers can accumulate a massive counterrotating disk over a Hubble time.

description: The current study queries the American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) Intelligent Research in Sight (IRIS) registry for data on the epidemiology, work-up, and management patterns of autoimmune orbital inflammation. Analysis and description of patient data from the IRIS registry between 2013 and 2019 reviewing patients with autoimmune or idiopathic orbital inflammation with filters based on International Classification of Disease (ICD) and Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) codes. Patients with thyroid eye disease, orbital cellulitis, and orbital abscess were excluded. Demographic descriptions included gender, age, geographic region, and treatment. Sub-analysis was performed by assessing rates of imaging, biopsy, lab work-up, and diagnostic categories. In a final cohort of 20,584 patients, the mean age of onset of orbital inflammation was 51.7 years; 67% female; and 63% Caucasian, 21% unknown, 12% Black, 2.6% Asian, and 1.5% other. Only 49 had imaging, 78 had laboratory work-up, and 1,411 had biopsy codes. Treatment results showed 166 patients receiving antibiotics, 224 patients receiving steroids, and 35 patients receiving both. This study assessed the epidemiology, diagnostic patterns, and treatment patterns for orbital inflammation through the AAO IRIS registry. Practise patterns suggest a relatively low overall rate of imaging and laboratory studies compared to biopsies, although this certainly under-represents the actual number of imaging and laboratory studies and exemplifies the inherent imprecision of using a large database. However, the methodology of this study provides a framework of approaching the IRIS registry for oculoplastic research.
Young People and Climate Change: ecoanxiety, hope, and well-being

description: Some of the most vocal climate activists on the twenty-first century's current world climate stage are as young as nine (Lai, 2022). These young activists challenge politicians, industry leaders and others on the effects of fossil fuel use and plastic pollution and champion multiple environmentalism dimensions. Transdisciplinary research about young people and climate activism raises the experience of ecoanxiety, which many young people encounter. Growing academic interest in ecoanxiety, the ‘anxiety related to a changing and uncertain environment’ (Albrecht, 2011), emphasises the significance of characteristics such as uncertainty, unpredictability, and uncontrollability (Pihkala, 2020). Critics of this framing argue that ecoanxiety places the burden to act on the individual, which individualises what are collective responses to a complex problem (Hickman et al., 2021). For this reason, some researchers advocate promoting hope to motivate engagement and foster well-being instead of focusing on young people's management of ecoanxiety to cope with climate change (Ojala, 2018). The thesis contributes to this literature by examining what role hope plays in relation to the ecoanxiety young people aged 18-35 experience in response to climate change. The study conducted in Australia in 2022 may have limitations if applied to other countries. Data is analysed from ten young climate activists involving an individual initial in-depth interview about their engagement in climate politics, the obstacles they encounter to their activism, their experiences of ecoanxiety, and what role hope plays in motivating and sustaining their engagement. An Autophotography and photo-elicitation exercise on modes of private activism followed, which included a second individual in-depth interview. The findings indicate that what is explained as ecoanxiety is better understood as a range of emotional responses to climate change, including feeling overwhelmed, rage and grief. The range of emotional responses is evident in young people’s participation in diverse and creative forms of activism that engage with calls for urgent action on climate change, suggesting they deploy hope in anticipation of a better future. The thesis determines that hope plays a significant role in the emotions categorised as ecoanxiety in young activists' climate politics and that focusing on their deployment (bringing into effective action) of hope is critical for activism efficacy, a sense of empowerment and subsequent well-being.
A Distributed Asynchronous Method of Multipliers for Constrained Nonconvex Optimization

description: This paper presents a fully asynchronous and distributed approach for tackling optimization problems in which both the objective function and the constraints may be nonconvex. In the considered network setting each node is active upon triggering of a local timer and has access only to a portion of the objective function and to a subset of the constraints. In the proposed technique, based on the method of multipliers, each node performs, when it wakes up, either a descent step on a local augmented Lagrangian or an ascent step on the local multiplier vector. Nodes realize when to switch from the descent step to the ascent one through an asynchronous distributed logic-AND, which detects when all the nodes have reached a predefined tolerance in the minimization of the augmented Lagrangian. It is shown that the resulting distributed algorithm is equivalent to a block coordinate descent for the minimization of the global augmented Lagrangian. This allows one to extend the properties of the centralized method of multipliers to the considered distributed framework. Two application examples are presented to validate the proposed approach: a distributed source localization problem and the parameter estimation of a neural network.

Structure learning and generalisation in human motor control
Creators: name: Kobak, Dimitry
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: The human motor system controls a large number of independent degrees of freedom simultaneously, and is capable of learning a seemingly infinite amount of movement skills, vastly surpassing such abilities of any man-made robot. The computational and neuronal mechanisms of human dexterity and adaptation abilities remain elusive. It has been recently suggested that one of the computational brain mechanisms allowing such a rich movement repertoire might be “structure learning” (Braun et al., 2009b). After extensive practice with motor tasks sharing structural similarities (e.g. different dancing movements, or different sword techniques), new tasks of the same type can be learnt faster. According to the structure learning hypothesis, such rapid generalisation of related motor skills relies on learning the dynamic and kinematic relationships shared by this set of skills. As a consequence, motor adaptation becomes constrained, effectively leading to a dimensionality reduction of the learning problem; at the same time, adaptation to tasks lying outside the structure becomes biased towards the structure. We tested these predictions by investigating how previously learnt structures influence subsequent motor adaptation and found that after extensive training with both kinematic or dynamic perturbations, adaptation to unpractised, diagonal, perturbations happened along the previously learnt structure (vertical or horizontal), and resulting adaptation trajectories were curved. We further present several computational models that can account for this behaviour: correlated distribution of motor primitives, changed Bayesian prior or Bayesian network with a hidden variable. These models make different predictions with respect to structure extrapolation; in a series of experiments we did not observe any evidence for structure extrapolation and conclude that the observed effects are probably explained by the changed Bayesian priors. Finally, we present a series of experiments on path tracking, where subjects develop a skill of path tracking in the absence of any external perturbations. Relationship with structure learning is discussed.

description: To investigate the association of clinical findings and indocyanine green angiography (ICGA) score with inflammatory markers derived from complete blood count (CBC) parameters in patients with Vogt-Koyanagi-Harada (VKH) to determine the diagnostic and predictive role. Demographic characteristics, presenting complaints, ocular findings, optical coherence tomography findings, ICGA scores and best corrected visual acuity were recorded in treatment-naive VKH patients at presentation. Patients were divided into two groups as acute stage and chronic recurrent stage. CBC parameters were noted in patients at presentation and healthy controls (HC, n = 25). Neutrophil-lymphocyte-platelet-monocyte counts, neutrophil/lymphocyte (NLR), platelet/lymphocyte (PLR), monocyte/lymphocyte and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) were recorded. The association between these markers and clinical severity were evaluated. Thirty-two patients with VKH (23 females/9 males) with a mean age of 34.1 ± 14.6 years were included in the study. There was an increase in neutrophil count, NLR and SII in patients with VKH compared to HC (p < 0.001). The cut-off values for these three parameters were 4.37, 2.24 and 562.35, respectively. Twenty-six patients presented in the acute stage and six patients presented in the chronic recurrent stage. Choroidal thickness, early stromal hyperfluorescence and total ICGA scores were higher in patients presenting in the acute stage (p < 0.001, 0.001 and 0.025, respectively). Patients with higher disease severity at presentation were treated earlier. Early stromal vessel hyperfluorescence and choroidal vasculitis scores were correlated with decreased lymphocyte count, increased NLR, PLR and SII (p < 0.05). CBC-derived inflammatory parameters indicate that VKH is a systemic inflammation. These parameters can be used in the diagnosis and determination of disease severity of VKH.

description: We present HST/GHRS echelle observations of multiple interstellar lines of CI, MgI, CrII, and ZnII towards both stars in the mu Cru binary system. Despite large differences in the profiles of the neutral species, no significant variations between the stars are seen in the CrII and ZnII line profiles. In particular, the ZnII absorption observed at -8.6 km/sec towards mu Cru is constant despite greatly enhanced columns of the neutral species at this velocity towards mu^1 Cru. An analysis of the fine-structure excitation of CI in this cloud implies that the density is n_H < 250 cm^{-3}. From the lack of variation in the (optical) NaI D2 line profiles towards mu^1 and mu^2 Cru in spectra taken 21 months apart, we can place a lower limit to the size of the structures of ~10 AU. These results are discussed in the context of recent radio and optical studies of apparently pervasive high density small-scale interstellar structure.

description: The observed 2B BATSE distribution is consistent with the faintest GRBs in our sample originating from a redshift of Zmax ~ 0.8-3.0 (90\%), with the most likely values in the range of 1.0-2.2, and is largely insensitive to Omega for models with no evolution. To constrain the model parameter Omega to the range 0.1-1.0 using only Log N -- Log P distributions, more than 4000 GRBs, with a most likely value of ~ 9,000 GRBs to BATSE sensitivity. This requires a live integration time of >6 years with BATSE. Detectors sensitive to much lower limits (~ 70-400 in sensitivity) require ~ 200 GRBs, with <0.03 year 4pi ster coverage. We place limits on the amount of frequency density and, separately, peak luminosity evolution in the sample of GRBs. We find that frequency density evolution models can place the faintest GRBs at Zmax ~ 10-200, without conflicting with the observations of relative time dilation of ~ 2.

Our protocol can access a secure distance longer than 700 km even though the misalignment error rate is $15\%$. In the case of zero alignment error, our protocol can exceeds a secure distance of 800 km. Thanks to the novel idea of TF-QKD !
