description: This paper presents a new deep neural network design for salient object detection by maximizing the integration of local and global image context within, around, and beyond the salient objects. Our key idea is to adaptively propagate and aggregate the image context features with variable attenuation over the entire feature maps. To achieve this, we design the spatial attenuation context (SAC) module to recurrently translate and aggregate the context features independently with different attenuation factors and then to attentively learn the weights to adaptively integrate the aggregated context features. By further embedding the module to process individual layers in a deep network, namely SAC-Net, we can train the network end-to-end and optimize the context features for detecting salient objects. Compared with 29 state-of-the-art methods, experimental results show that our method performs favorably over all the others on six common benchmark data, both quantitatively and visually.

description: L'objectif de ce travail est d’évaluer la qualité des eaux des forages exploitées dans les quartiers Salongo et Kemi/Righini. L'étude a porté sur la vérification des normes établies par l’OMS en la matière sur les échantillons d'eau des forages prélevés. Les résultats des analyses physico-chimiques des eaux des neuf forages issus des deux quartiers contigus Salongo et Kemi/Righini ont révélé que: quatre paramètres analysés sont au-dessus des normes de l'OMS à s’avoir la turbidité, les matières en suspension, la DBO5 et le Potassium. Quatre paramètres analysés sont dans l'intervalle des normes de l'OMS, notamment; la température, le conductivité, le Calcium et le Sodium. Dix paramètres analysés sont en dessous des normes de l'OMS. Il s’agit de la dureté, le pH, la DCO, du Magnésium, du Chlorure, du Sulfate, du Nitrate, du Phosphate, du Fer et du Cuivre. Les trois phénomènes sont à l’origine de la minéralisation des eaux: les apports des précipitations, le pluviolessivage des sols et le contact eau-roche (principal mécanisme de production des ions). L’analyse en Classification Hiérarchique Ascendante (CHA) a permis d’identifier quatre groupes et classes deau de compositions chimiques différentes. Les résultats d'analyse bactériologique à l'occurrence les Coliformes totaux et Escherichia Coli des eaux des forages de ces deux quartiers ne présentent pas d'éventuels risques des contaminations. Au regard des résultats trouvés après les analyses physico-chimiques, bactériologiques et faciès hydro-chimiques, nous disons que les eaux des forages consommées par la population de Kemi/Righini et Salongo ne respectent pas les critères de potabilité recommandées par l'OMS pour les eaux de boisson.

description: Property testing, especially that of geometric and graph properties, is an ongoing area of research. In this thesis, we present a result from each of the two areas. For the problem of convexity testing in high dimensions, we give nearly matching upper and lower bounds for the sample complexity of algorithms have one-sided and two-sided error, where algorithms only have access to labeled samples independently drawn from the standard multivariate Gaussian. In the realm of graph property testing, we give an improved lower bound for testing acyclicity in directed graphs of bounded degree.
      Central to the area of topological graph theory is the genus parameter, but the complexity of determining the genus of a graph is poorly understood when graphs become nearly complete. We summarize recent progress in understanding the space of minimum genus embeddings of such dense graphs. In particular, we classify all possible face distributions realizable by minimum genus embeddings of complete graphs, present new constructions for genus embeddings of the complete graphs, and find unified constructions for minimum triangulations of surfaces.

description: Previously defined covariant and gauge-invariant perturbation variables, representing, e.g., the fractional spatial energy density gradient on hypersurfaces of constant expansion, are used to simplify the linear perturbation analysis of a classical scalar field. With the help of conserved quantities on large scales we establish an exact first-order relation between comoving fluid energy density perturbations at `reentry' into the horizon and corresponding scalar field energy density perturbations at the first Hubble scale crossing during an early de Sitter phase of a standard inflationary scenario.

description: Laser-ion acceleration with ultra-short pulse, PW-class lasers is dominated by non-thermal, intra-pulse plasma dynamics. The presence of multiple ion species or multiple charge states in targets leads to characteristic modulations and even mono-energetic features, depending on the choice of target material. As spectral signatures of generated ion beams are frequently used to characterize underlying acceleration mechanisms, thermal, multi-fluid descriptions require a revision for predictive capabilities and control in next-generation particle beam sources. We present an analytical model with explicit inter-species interactions, supported by extensive ab initio simulations. This enables us to derive important ensemble properties from the spectral distribution resulting from those multi-species effects for arbitrary mixtures. We further propose a potential experimental implementation with a novel cryogenic target, delivering jets with variable mixtures of hydrogen and deuterium. Free from contaminants and without strong influence of hardly controllable processes such as ionization dynamics, this would allow a systematic realization of our predictions for the multi-species effect.

description: Ecological connectivity in coastal oceanic waters is mediated by dispersion of the early life stages of marine organisms and conditions the structure of biological communities and the provision of ecosystem services. Integrated management strategies aimed at ensuring long-term service provision to society do not currently consider the importance of dispersal and larval connectivity. A spatial optimization model is introduced to maximise the potential provision of ecosystem services in coastal areas by accounting for the role of dispersal and larval connectivity. The approach combines a validated coastal circulation model that reproduces realistic patterns of larval transport along the coast, which ultimately conditions the biological connectivity and productivity of an area, with additional spatial layers describing potential ecosystem services. The spatial optimization exercise was tested along the coast of Central Chile, a highly productive area dominated by the Humboldt Current. Results show it is unnecessary to relocate existing management areas, as increasing no-take areas by 10% could maximise ecosystem service provision, while improving the spatial representativeness of protected areas and minimizing social conflicts. The location of protected areas was underrepresented in some sections of the study domain, principally due to the restriction of the model to rocky subtidal habitats. Future model developments should encompass the diversity of coastal ecosystems and human activities to inform integrative spatial management. Nevertheless, the spatial optimization model is innovative not only for its integrated ecosystem perspective, but also because it demonstrates that it is possible to incorporate time-varying biophysical connectivity within the optimization problem, thereby linking the dynamics of exploited populations produced by the spatial management regime.

description: We present a nucleon resonance analysis by simultaneously considering all pion- and photon-induced experimental data on the final states gamma N, pi N, 2 pi N, eta N, K Lambda, K Sigma, and omega N for energies from the nucleon mass up to sqrt(s) = 2 GeV. In this analysis we find strong evidence for the resonances P_{31}(1750), P_{13}(1900), P_{33}(1920), and D_{13}(1950). The omega N production mechanism is dominated by large P_{11}(1710) and P_{13}(1900) contributions. In this second part we present the results on the photoproduction reactions and the electromagnetic properties of the resonances. The inclusion of all important final states up to sqrt(s) = 2 GeV allows for estimates on the importance of the individual states for the GDH sum rule.

Engineers of Record, Professional Registration, and the Mining Industry in Mexico
Creators: name: Romero, Jesus E.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: As we prepare to comply with the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM), there are significant challenges related to Engineers of Record, professional registration, and the mining industry in Mexico. The shortage of qualified Engineers of Record will be a pressing concern for the next 20 years. The scarcity of Engineers of Record has led mining companies to rely on a limited number of consulting firms that offer these specialized services. However, even these companies face a shortage of senior technical leaders and require more professionals, who need extensive mentoring, training, education, and credentials. In Mexico, current regulations do not mandate an Engineer of Record as the responsible party for any tailings storage facility, making it complex and politically sensitive to modify these regulations. Waiting for regulatory changes could take decades, which is why it is crucial to invest in the development of professionals who can meet the requirements of the GISTM. Addressing the shortage of qualified engineers requires immediate action to provide mentoring, training, and education opportunities. Engaging the tailings and mine waste community is essential for advancing provisions in the registration processes, allowing Mexican engineers to meet the professional criteria outlined in the GISTM through similar evaluation and testing procedures as licensed engineers in Canada or the US. Collaboration with academia is necessary to explore new education delivery methods for training, mentoring, and educational opportunities for future Engineers of Record in Mexico. The COVID-19 pandemic has demonstrated the viability of remote learning. By garnering support from the tailings and mine waste community and pursuing collaboration with academia, innovative learning methods can be developed to create new training opportunities for the next generation of Engineers of Record in Mexico.

description: When agricultural emissions are included in the New Zealand Emission Trading System (ETS) the economics of farming will be significantly altered. Under the legislation current in October 2009, in the early years of the system the agricultural sector as a whole would have received NZ units equivalent to 90% of 2005 emissions to ease the transition. Amendments to the Bill passed in November have delayed the start date from 2013 to 2015 and extended the protection even further. This paper addresses one of the key issues for making an agricultural emissions trading system a success: how to use the allocation of NZ units to achieve equitable and acceptable cost sharing and a smoother transition. We first discuss the potential motivations for free allocation and the two extreme potential allocation options that could be associated with the two key motivations. The option finally chosen is likely to be somewhere between these two extremes. Empirical studies can inform assessment of options. Previous empirical studies have addressed a variety of questions, including what the economic impact of the system is and on whom, how much leakage is there likely to be, and what might be the adjustment costs. We discuss each of these, comparing different existing studies and addressing some current gaps in our understanding and knowledge with new empirical work on farm level impacts and on likely responses to the ETS. We conclude by laying out some key options for allocation design and drawing links between these and the empirical material

description: Die heutige Verkehrstechnik basiert auf der Anwendung des Rades und für alle Bahnen wird bis heute die Stütztechnik in der Kombination Rad/Schiene eingesetzt. Die Erfindung des Rades, die auf die Sumerer zurückgeht und etwa 5000 Jahre vor unserer Zeit stattfand, dient der Verminderung der Reibkräfte. Bereits das Wagenrad aus Holz unterlag vielen Entwicklungsstufen, die der zweckmäßigen Ausführung mit Rücksicht auf Funktion und Materialeinsatz dienten und schon einen hohen Grad an (wohl überwiegend empirisch begründeter) Ingenieurkunst verraten. Die Anwendung von Speichen und der Übergang zu fasergerecht ausgeführten Radkränzen läßt starke Gewichtsreduktionen zu, die Einsatzmöglichkeiten und Betriebsverhalten beim Pferdewagen sehr günstig beeinflussen. Beim Antrieb durch das Pferd sind offensichtlich Stütz- und Vortriebsfunktion örtlich separiert.
Die Erfindung der Dampfmaschine und deren Integration in Schienenfahrzeuge bringt den Übergang zur Nutzung einer Dreifachfunktion des Rades. Neben der reibungsarmen Übertragung von Stützkräften übernimmt das Rad mit Hilfe des Spurkranzes (im Zusammenwirken mit der Schiene) die seitliche Führung und vermöge der Drehmomentbereitstellung durch die Dampfmaschine die Übertragung der Vortriebskräfte. Lokomotiven als zugkrafterzeugende Maschinen sind auch in der modifizierten Form für elektrischen Betrieb grundsätzlich auf die beschriebenen Hauptfunktionen des Rades angewiesen. Die Leistungsfahigkeit des Antriebs, aber auch Ausführung und Kraftübertragbarkeitsgrenzen des Rades bestimmen erzielbare Höchstgeschwindigkeiten ebenso wie Beschleunigungen und Bremsverzögerungen. Die dem System Bahn zuzuschreibende Betriebssicherheit wird in Grenzfällen wesentlich durch den Reibkontakt zwischen Rad und Schiene markiert.
Die Magnetschwebetechnik hingegen ist eine berührungsfreie Technik, die sich der Kraftübertragung mit Hilfe magnetischer Felder bedient. Sie ist damit reibungsunabhängig und verschleißfrei, jedenfalls solange störungsbedingte Berührungen ausgeschlossen werden können. Als Aufgabe sind die genannten drei Funktionen vertikale Stützung, horizontale Führung und Antriebskraftübertragung zu erfüllen. Denkbar sind hierfür sowohl getrennte Funktionselemente als auch kombinierte Funktionen in integrierten Elementen. Der Wegfall des Rades läßt erwarten, daß die durch die Technik und Beanspruchung des Rades bestehenden Grenzen, wie (fliehkraftbedingte) Höchstgeschwindigkeit oder Beschränkung der Steigfähigkeit, überwunden werden können. Die Punktberührung, die beim Rad mit höchster mechanischer Beanspruchung und der Anregung von Schwingungen verbunden ist, wird bei der Schwebetechnik durch eine großflächigere Kraftübertragung mit weit geringeren Schwankungen und Beanspruchungen ersetzt.

description: We introduce a new dynamical picture, referred to as correlation picture,' which connects a correlated state to its uncorrelated counterpart. Using this picture allows us to derive an exact dynamical equation for a general open-system dynamics with system--environment correlations included. This exact dynamics is in the form of a Lindblad-like equation even in the presence of initial system-environment correlations. For explicit calculations, we also develop a weak-correlation expansion formalism that allows us to perform systematic perturbative approximations. This expansion provides approximate master equations which can feature advantages over existing weak-coupling techniques. As a special case, we derive a Markovian master equation, which is different from existing approaches. We compare our equations with corresponding standard weak-coupling equations by two examples, where our correlation picture formalism is more accurate, or at least as accurate as weak-coupling equations.

description: This paper investigates energy market integration in China by employing univariate, and panel-based unit root tests and Granger causality tests applied to a new energy price data set. We identify price series that converge either to absolute or relative price parity. In addition we estimate the rates (speed) at which relative prices converge to their long-run values, and the direction of causality. The results show that gasoline and diesel markets are very well integrated as a whole; and that once some geographically isolated regions are excluded, we can regard the coal market as integrated; however, the electricity market is not well integrated. The estimated intercept terms are all very small and close to zero, such that most of the relative price series can be regarded as convergent to absolute price parity. The convergence rates vary little and are relatively short when compared internationally. A rich set of causal relationships are established many showing bi-directional causality between regional centres.

description: We extend recent work on the resonance structure for post-inflation reheating, providing an analytic treatment for models in which both the inflaton and the fields into which it decays are massless. Solutions are derived which are valid for either a spatially-flat or spatially-open metric. Closed-form solutions are given for the characteristic exponent, which measures the rate of particle production during preheating. It is demonstrated that in certain regions of parameter space, the maximum values of the characteristic exponent in an open universe are several times greater than the maximum values in a spatially-flat universe. It is further demonstrated that the solutions found here by means of a simple algebraic construction match the two previously-known exact solutions, which were derived in terms of special functions.

Testing Durability: Property Restitution and Refugee Return in Post Conflict Bosnia

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2020
Subjects: Bosnians

Postwar reconstruction
Reconciliation

description: In post-conflict settings, a network of actors with differing agendas converge to engender a process of reestablishing a viable state. After the Bosnian War, the imposition of the Dayton Peace Accords fostered a post-conflict procedure to ensure the return of refugees and internally displaced persons. The history of ethnic cleansing during the conflict created a unique set of spatial conditions that required a unique process for reconciliation. This thesis investigates the process of property restitution as a post-conflict reconciliation tool. Through understanding the complexities of the conditions produced by conflict and the landscape of post-conflict reconciliation, refugee return through property restitution can be better understood. The unique process and outcome of ethnic cleansing, the insistent international presence in post-conflict Bosnia, and the normative prescriptions for mass displacement amalgamate into a context that inspires the imposition of a property restitution regime. Through quantitative analyses using data concerning refugee return, property repossession claims, and sociodemographic change, I investigate the efficacy of the return-restitution nexus by municipalities in Bosnia. Regression analyses, population proportionality scores, and dissimilarity indices are the tools used to expose the impact of property restitution on refugee return, and the subsequent durability of these solutions for goals of reintegration. Through archival research and secondary sources, I aim to complement the results of the data analyses based on the lived-experiences of Bosnians in their post-conflict setting. The study concludes by applying the case of property restitution in Bosnia to the literature of post-conflict reconciliation, which is followed by recommendations on how to expand upon refugee return as a durable solution to displacement.

subject: FOS: Educational sciences

description: Welcome to the course titled Augmented Intelligence: Hacking Health Covid-19 given by Professor Thierry Warin. In this course, we will aim at doing mainly two things:
The Augmented Intelligence Domain: the first one is to have a conversation about the concept of “Augmented Intelligence” during these 10 days. We have organized synchronous and asynchronous sessions with material covering the topics of Augmented Intelligence as well as some of its elements: Data Science and AI. We will discuss the digital transformation of firms as well as our societies. We will have conversations about AI and Ethics for instance and AI and Public Policies.
The Practicum: The second goal is to work on a use case that will combine: (1) the mobilization of the whole perimeter of Data Science, (2) be at the heart of the question of digital transformation, (3) has an AI and ethics dimension and (4) has an AI and Public policy dimension. The topic of choice for this use case is Covid-19. During these 10 days, we will help you get ready to offer an AI-related tool to the Covid-19 pandemic. The goal here is to mobilize your knowledge to offer a contribution to humanity’s fight against Covid-19.

Terrorism

description: This dissertation contributes to the ongoing analysis of art during the anni di piombo (1969-1983) by revisiting and challenging the well-established charge that artists failed to create meaningful reflections on terrorism during the years of lead. I analyze a select number of literary and filmic fictional representations of terrorists and their victims produced in Italy during the first half of the anni di piombo, up to Aldo Moro’s death. Reading these narratives in a comparative perspective, I argue that their symbolic reflection on terrorism becomes particularly evident in the representation of the body of the terrorist. Through my analysis I find that—despite the differences in medium, genre, intended audience, and kinds of political terrorism these narratives respectively explore—a similar fundamental criticism of terrorism as an essentially anti-political practice emerges. In this way, I show, these narratives can be read as contributions to the democratic debate on violence and the principle of civility in politics produced already during that period of great socio-political crisis.
Thermoelectric relations in the conformal limit in Dirac and Weyl semimetals

description: In the Fermi liquid description of metals, electrical and thermoelectric transport coefficients are linked by robust relations which can be challenged by strong interactions or when the electron liquid enters a different regime. These relations have been very powerful in the characterisation of novel materials. We show that Dirac and Weyl semimetals at zero doping and zero temperature (the conformal limit) have a very singular behavior due to a quantum anomaly. Away from this point, a Mott relation can be established.
Descendant Gromov-Witten Invariants, Simple Hurwitz Numbers, and the Virasoro Conjecture for P^1

description: In this ``experimental'' research, we use known topological recursion relations in genera-zero, -one, and -two to compute the n-point descendant Gromov-Witten invariants of P^1 for arbitrary degrees and low values of n. The results are consistent with the Virasoro conjecture and also lead to explicit computations of all Hodge integrals in these genera. We also derive new recursion relations for simple Hurwitz numbers similar to those of Graber and Pandharipande.

description: Deep learning models have had a great success in disease classifications using large data pools of skin cancer images or lung X-rays. However, data scarcity has been the roadblock of applying deep learning models directly on prostate multiparametric MRI (mpMRI). Although model interpretation has been heavily studied for natural images for the past few years, there has been a lack of interpretation of deep learning models trained on medical images. This work designs a customized workflow for the small and imbalanced data set of prostate mpMRI where features were extracted from a deep learning model and then analyzed by a traditional machine learning classifier. In addition, this work contributes to revealing how deep learning models interpret mpMRI for prostate cancer patients stratification.
Testing Foundational Tenets of Stable Isotope Ecology Analyses in Neotropical Mammalian Communities, and Implications for Terrestrial Paleoecology

Herbivores--Ecology

description: Stable isotope analyses are powerful tools for reconstructing ancient ecologies and ecosystems, as they are independent of morphology and directly reflect dietary ecology. The application of stable isotope analyses, however, is not without limitations, as determination of food web dynamics using these methods often relies on poorly tested assumptions. The guiding thread of this thesis is the testing of foundational cornerstones on which these methods rely, in order to validate the suitability of applying these techniques to different mammalian clades, and to more reliably and confidently interpret the isotopic signals preserved in extinct organisms. The first chapter of this thesis tests the validity of an important assumption behind the interpretation of stable carbon isotope analyses for understanding diet in terrestrial mammalian herbivores: if, as assumed for almost two decades, mammalian bioapatite δ¹³C is enriched by 14‰ relative to dietary δ¹³C. By analyzing new isotopic data from a never before assessed herbivorous group spanning a broad range of body masses—sloths (Xenarthra, Mammalia)— and other mammals with experimentally controlled or observationally known diets, I discovered considerable variation in diet–bioapatite δ¹³C enrichment among mammals. Statistical tests (ordinary least squares, quantile, robust regressions, Akaike information criterion model tests) documented independence from phylogeny, and a previously unrecognized strong and significant correlation of δ¹³C enrichment with body mass for all mammalian herbivores. A single-factor body mass model outperformed all other single-factor or more complex combinatorial models evaluated, including for physiological variables (metabolic rate and body temperature proxies), and indicated that body mass alone predicts δ¹³C enrichment. These analyses, spanning more than 5 orders of magnitude of body sizes, yield a size-dependent prediction of isotopic enrichment across Mammalia and for distinct digestive physiologies, permitting reconstruction of foregut versus hindgut fermentation physiologies for fossils and refined mean annual paleoprecipitation estimates based on δ¹³C of mammalian bioapatite. Second, I sought to evaluate the existing paradigm governing identification of closed canopy rainforests in the fossil record using mammalian δ¹³C data: the presence of mammals with dietary δ¹³C

description: Up to equivalence, this paper classifies all the irreducible unitary representations with non-zero Dirac cohomology for the simple Lie group $E_{6(-14)}$, which is of Hermitian symmetric type. Each FS-scattered Dirac series of $E_{6(-14)}$ is realized as a composition factor of certain $A_{\mathfrak{q}}(λ)$ module. Along the way, we have also obtained all the fully supported irreducible unitary representations of $E_{6(-14)}$ with integral infinitesimal characters.

description: Zur Verbesserung biotechnologischer Prozesse ist es notwendig, die wichtigsten Schlüsselkomponenten in den Kultivierungsmedien zu überwachen und zu regeln. Voraussetzung dafür ist die In-situ- und On-line-Messung dieser Größen. Dazu müssen die Analyseninstrumente an den Produktionsreaktor direkt angekoppelt werden. Wegen des hohen Preises dieser Instrumente würde die Ausstattung eines jeden Reaktors mit einem Analysensystem sehr aufwendig und teuer. Hier können die einfachen und preisgünstigen Biosensoren Abhilfe schaffen.
Biosensoren bestehen aus einem chemisch-spezifischen Empfänger (Enzym, Antikörper, Zelle), der mit einem sog. Transducer verbunden ist. Der Transducer ist ein physikalischer Sensor, der die chemischen Änderungen in der Empfängerschicht in Licht- oder elektrische Signale umwandelt. Abhängig davon, welchen physikalischen Sensor man verwendet, unterscheidet man zwischen 
- potentiometrischen, amperometrischen, kalorimetrischen, optischen und mechanischen Sensoren.
Im Institut für Technische Chemie (TCI) der Universität Hannover werden potentiometrische, kalorimetrische und optische Sensoren entwickelt und zur Überwachung und Regelung biotechnologischer Prozesse eingesetzt. Daher werden hier nur diese Sensoren behandelt.
Relating bottom quark mass in DR-bar and MS-bar regularization schemes

description: The value of the bottom quark mass at M_Z in the DR-bar scheme is an important input for the analysis of supersymmetric models with a large value of tan(beta). Conventionally, however, the running bottom quark mass extracted from experimental data is quoted in the MS-bar scheme at the bottom mass scale. We describe a two loop procedure for the conversion of the bottom quark mass from MS-bar to DR-bar scheme. The Particle Data Group value m_b(m_b) = 4.2 \pm 0.2 GeV in the MS-bar scheme corresponds to a range of 2.65-3.03 GeV for m_b(M_Z) in the DR-bar scheme.

Using Statistics and Judgment to Generate Screening-level Estimates of Tailings Dam Risk
Creators: name: Porter, Michael
name: Russell, Brad
name: Watts, Bryan
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: This paper describes a framework to estimate the probability of tailings dam risk using failure statistics and judgment to help promote application of risk-informed decision making in mine waste management. The underpinnings of the framework are presented, with a focus on the approach to estimating probability of failure from a suite of common failure modes. Through review of recent publications on tailings dam inventories and failure databases, estimates of baseline failure probability by dam raise method have been made. Failure statistics by dam raise method are used to identify the average relative contribution of common failure modes to the total probability of failure. Guidance is provided to adjust the industry-average probability of failure estimates based on an assessment of site factors pertaining to each failure mode. Guidance is also provided to further adjust the failure mode probabilities by considering the level of governance practice and the design criteria and practices used to address each mode.
