description: For some American voters, the news of Mr. Trump's victory in the 2016 presidential election caused recurrent emotions that were negative, persistent, and intense enough to elicit repeated attempts at emotion regulation. This afforded a rare opportunity to analyse the regulation of recurrent emotions in a natural, non-laboratory context. The regulation of recurrent emotion involves additional considerations relative to single-instance emotion, such as representations of past and future encounters with the emotion-eliciting variables, ongoing consequences of each regulatory episode, and a tendency to repeatedly deploy emotion regulation strategies that one is most familiar with in the context of the particular recurrent emotion. Despite the ubiquitous nature of recurrent emotions, its associated regulatory processes have been infrequently examined and are not well-understood. Over eight days (11/10/16–11/18/16), we administered four surveys to 202 participants who voted against Mr. Trump. We examined the determinants and outcomes of regulatory strategies in the context of recurrent emotion. We found that (1) reappraisal (compared to distraction and acceptance) was associated with greater decline in emotion intensity, (2) high-intensity emotions were more likely to be distracted, whereas low-intensity emotions were more likely to be reappraised, and (3) strategy variability was associated with greater affective adaptation.

description: We estimate the impact of the removal of a railway transportation subsidy on the adoption of technology for Western Canadian farms, using a unique combination of Census and freight rate data. We exploit the large regional variation in these one-time freight rate increases in order to identify causal effects of increased competitive pressure. Using a difference-in differences methodology we find that higher freights rates – and hence lower farm gate prices – induced farmers to adopt new, more efficient production technology. We also find that farmers experiencing the greatest transportation cost increases also increased fertilizer usage and made significant land use changes.

description: A general method of the BRST--anti-BRST symmetric conversion of second-class constraints is presented. It yields a pair of commuting and nilpotent BRST-type charges that can be naturally regarded as BRST and anti-BRST ones. Interchanging the BRST and anti-BRST generators corresponds to a symmetry between the original second-class constraints and the conversion variables, which enter the formalism on equal footing.

description: Oscillations in nonequilibrium noisy systems are important physical phenomena. These oscillations can happen in autonomous biochemical oscillators such as circadian clocks. They can also manifest as subharmonic oscillations in periodically driven systems such as time-crystals. Oscillations in autonomous systems and, to a lesser degree, subharmonic oscillations in periodically driven systems have been both thoroughly investigated, including their relation with thermodynamic cost and noise. We perform a systematic study of oscillations in a third class of nonequilibrium systems: feedback driven systems. In particular, we use the apparatus of stochastic thermodynamics to investigate the role of noise and thermodynamic cost in feedback driven oscillations. For a simple two-state model that displays oscillations, we analyze the relation between precision and dissipation, revealing that oscillations can remain coherent for an indefinite time in a finite system with thermal fluctuations in a limit of diverging thermodynamic cost. We consider oscillations in a more complex system with several degrees of freedom, an Ising model driven by feedback between the magnetization and the external field. This feedback driven system can display subharmonic oscillations similar to the ones observed in time-crystals. We illustrate the second law for feedback driven systems that display oscillations. For the Ising model, the oscillating dissipated heat can be negative. However, when we consider the total entropy that also includes an informational term related to measurements, the oscillating total entropy change is always positive. We also study the finite-size scaling of the dissipated heat, providing evidence for the existence of a first-order phase transition for certain parameter regimes.

description: Few studies have examined how trait emotion dysregulation relates to momentary affective experiences and the emotion regulation (ER) strategies people use in daily life. In the current study, 112 college students completed a trait measure of emotion dysregulation and completed experience sampling and end-of-day surveys over a two- to three-week period, asking about their emotional experiences and ER strategy use. Participants completed a total of 3798 experience sampling (in-the-moment) and 995 nightly diary surveys. We examined the top 40% of each participant’s reported instances of negative affect (to capture times when emotions more likely need regulation). Results indicated that a higher level of trait emotion dysregulation was associated with the following in-the-moment responses: (a) higher level of negative affect; (b) greater desire to change emotions; (c) more attempts to regulate emotion; (d) higher relative endorsements of avoidant (e.g. thought suppression) versus engagement (e.g. acceptance) ER strategy use; and (e) lower perceived effectiveness of ER. Further, individuals with a higher (vs. lower) level of trait emotion dysregulation were less able to identify emotions over the course of the day. Findings demonstrate how trait emotion dysregulation may predict emotional experiences and ER in daily life.

description: Qubit measurements are central to quantum information processing. In the field of superconducting qubits, standard readout techniques are not only limited by the signal-to-noise ratio, but also by state relaxation during the measurement. In this work, we demonstrate that the limitation due to relaxation can be suppressed by using the many-level Hilbert space of superconducting circuits: in a multilevel encoding, the measurement is only corrupted when multiple errors occur. Employing this technique, we show that we can directly resolve transmon gate errors at the level of one part in $10^3.$ Extending this idea, we apply the same principles to the measurement of a logical qubit encoded in a bosonic mode and detected with a transmon ancilla, implementing a proposal by Hann et al. [Phys. Rev. A \textbf{98} 022305 (2018)]. Qubit state assignments are made based on a sequence of repeated readouts, further reducing the overall infidelity. This approach is quite general and several encodings are studied; the codewords are more distinguishable when the distance between them is increased with respect to photon loss. The tradeoff between multiple readouts and state relaxation is explored and shown to be consistent with the photon-loss model. We report a logical assignment infidelity of $5.8\times 10^{-5}$ for a Fock-based encoding and $4.2\times 10^{-3}$ for a QEC code (the $S=2,N=1$ binomial code). Our results will not only improve the fidelity of quantum information applications, but also enable more precise characterization of process or gate errors.

description: Bidirectional transport in (quasi) one-dimensional systems generically leads to cluster-formation and small particle currents. This kind of transport can be described by the asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) with two species of particles. In this work, we consider the effect of non-Markovian site exchange times between particles. Different realizations of the exchange process can be considered: The exchange times can be assigned to the lattice bonds or each particle. In the latter case we specify additionally which of the two exchange times is executed, the earlier one (minimum rule) or the later one (maximum rule). In a combined numerical and analytical approach we find evidence that we recover the same asymptotic behavior as for unidirectional transport for most realizations of the exchange process. Differences in the asymptotic behavior of the system have been found for the minimum rule which is more efficient for fast decaying exchange time distributions.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: The widely-replicated action-effect describes a phenomenon in which negative outcomes are associated with higher regret when they are a result of action compared to inaction. The highly influential norm-theory theorised that the effect could be explained using the concept of normality, arguing that inaction is more “normal”. I aimed to clarify the concept of normality and examine the impact on regret in the action-effect by contrasting three identified categories: past-behaviour normality, expectations normality, and social-norms normality. In three exploratory experiments (N1 = 213, N2 = 300, N3 = 303) and one concluding pre-registered combined experiment (N = 403) I found that the three normality categories had distinct effects with consistent medium to strong impact on regret in the action-effect (d = .51 to d = .85) and no interactions. Action-effect was significantly weakened into an inaction-effect in the joint effects of any two types of the three normality categories (d = 1.56–1.61) and with all three combined (d = 2.75). In total, I concluded three replications for effects of each of the normality dimensions, overall nine successful replications of previous findings.

description: The regulation of temperature at the macro and microscale is a major energy-consuming process of humankind. Modern cooling systems account for 15% of the global energy consumption and are responsible for 10% of greenhouse gas emissions. Due to global warming, a ten-fold growth in the demand of cooling technologies is expected in the next 30 years, thus linking global warming and cooling needs through a worrying negative feedback loop. Here, we propose an inexpensive solution to this global challenge based on a single-layer of silica microspheres self-assembled on a soda-lime glass substrate. This two-dimensional (2D) crystal acts as a visibly translucent thermal blackbody for above-ambient daytime radiative cooling and can be used to passively improve the thermal performance of devices that undergo critical heating during operation. The temperature of a crystalline silicon wafer was found to be 14K lower during daytime when covered with our thermal emitter, reaching an average temperature difference of 19K when the structure was backed with a silver layer. In comparison, the soda-lime glass used as a reference in our measurements lowered the temperature of the silicon wafer by just 5 K. The cooling power density of this rather simple radiative cooler under direct sunlight was found to be up to 350 W/m2 when applied to hot surfaces with relative temperatures of 50 K above the ambient. This is crucial to radiatively cool down electronic devices, such as solar cells, where an increase in temperature has drastic effects on performance. Our 2D thermo-functional material includes a single layer of spheres emitting long-wave radiation through the infrared atmospheric window and over a broad wavelength ange, thus providing effective radiative cooling using the outer space as a heat sink at 3 K.

description: Calibration refers to the estimation of unknown parameters which are present in computer experiments but not available in physical experiments. An accurate estimation of these parameters is important because it provides a scientific understanding of the underlying system which is not available in physical experiments. Most of the work in the literature is limited to the analysis of continuous responses. Motivated by a study of cell adhesion experiments, we propose a new calibration framework for binary responses. Its application to the T cell adhesion data provides insight into the unknown values of the kinetic parameters which are difficult to determine by physical experiments due to the limitation of the existing experimental techniques.
Compact lattice U(1) and Seiberg-Witten duality

description: Simulations in compact U(1) lattice gauge theory in 4D show now beyond any reasonable doubts that the phase transition separating the Coulomb from the confined phase is of first order, albeit a very weak one. This settles the issue from the numerical side. On the analytical side, it was suggested some time ago, based on the qualitative analogy between the phase diagram of such a model and the one of scalar QED obtained by soft breaking the N=2 Seiberg-Witten model down to N=0, that the phase transition should be of second order. In this work we take a fresh look at this issue and show that a proper implementation of the Seiberg-Witten model below the supersymmetry breaking scale requires considering some new radiative corrections. Through the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism this turns the second order transition into a weakly first order one, in agreement with the numerical results. We comment on several other aspects of this continuum model.

description: We formulate and analyze a novel hypothesis testing problem for inferring the edge structure of an infection graph. In our model, a disease spreads over a network via contagion or random infection, where the times between successive contagion events are independent exponential random variables with unknown rate parameters. A subset of nodes is also censored uniformly at random. Given the observed infection statuses of nodes in the network, the goal is to determine the underlying graph. We present a procedure based on permutation testing, and we derive sufficient conditions for the validity of our test in terms of automorphism groups of the graphs corresponding to the null and alternative hypotheses. Our test is easy to compute and does not involve estimating unknown parameters governing the process. We also derive risk bounds for our permutation test in a variety of settings, and relate our test statistic to approximate likelihood ratio testing and maximin tests. For graphs not satisfying the necessary symmetries, we provide an additional method for testing the significance of the graph structure, albeit at a higher computational cost. We conclude with an application to real data from an HIV infection network.
The Quantum Geometry of Supersymmetry and the Generalized Group Extension Problem

description: We examine the notion of symmetry in quantum field theory from a fundamental representation theoretic point of view. This leads us to a generalization expressed in terms of quantum groups and braided categories. It also unifies the conventional concept of symmetry with that of exchange statistics and the spin-statistics relation. We show how this quantum group symmetry is reconstructed from the traditional (super) group symmetry, statistics and spin-statistics relation. The old question of extending the Poincare group to unify external and internal symmetries (solved by supersymmetry) is reexamined in the new framework. The reason why we should allow supergroups in this case becomes completely transparent. However, the true symmetries are not expressed by groups or supergroups here but by ordinary (not super) quantum groups. We show in this generalized framework that supersymmetry remains the most general unification of internal and space-time symmetries provided that all particles are either bosons or fermions. Finally, we demonstrate with some examples how quantum geometry provides a natural setting for the construction of super-extensions, super-spaces, super-derivatives etc.

Adversarial Attacks on Question Answering Systems - Evaluating the Robustness of BERT Models
Creators: name: Sarikaya, Ferhat
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Machine learning
subject: Artificial intelligence
subject: Natural language processing

description: This research aims at understanding the performance of BERT-based question answering (QA) systems in the presence of adversarial attacks. This is important as these systems are now being used in important applications. The study aims at assessing the effectiveness of BERT, RoBERTa, and ELECTRA models when faced with adversarial attacks, including a new attack called Contextual Embedding Inversion Attack (CEIA).

 

The research objectives are to compare the influence of various attack types, investigate whether fine-tuning enhances the models’ resilience, and compare the proposed CEIA with other approaches. The approach is to apply five attack methods (AddAny, AddSent, CEIA, DPAEG, and TextFooler) on the base and fine-tuned models on the SQuAD 2.0 dataset.

 

The analysis of the results shows that TextFooler proves to be the most powerful attack across all the models and CEIA is seen to be highly transferable while at the same time able to preserve the text quality. Fine-tuning greatly improves the model’s resilience, and ELECTRA is the most immune to adversarial attacks. The study also reveals that the effectiveness of an attack is closely linked to the quality of the text, which is an issue when trying to design effective yet invisible adversarial samples.

 

The implications of these findings for the development and deployment of QA systems are that a more extensive evaluation should be done concerning various types of attacks, and fine-tuning can be a promising approach to counteract attacks. The research is valuable to the advancement of deep learning in NLP and advances the development of question answering systems.

description: The relevant interaction energies for astrophysical radiative capture reactions are very low, much below the repulsive Coulomb barrier. This leads to low cross sections, low counting rates in $γ$-ray detectors, and therefore the need to perform such experiments at ion accelerators placed in underground settings, shielded from cosmic rays. Here, the feasibility of such experiments in the new shallow-underground accelerator laboratory in tunnels VIII and IX of the Felsenkeller site in Dresden, Germany, is evaluated. To this end, the no-beam background in three different types of germanium detectors, i.e. a Euroball/Miniball triple cluster and two large monolithic detectors, is measured over periods of 26-66 days. The cosmic-ray induced background is found to be reduced by a factor of 500-2400, by the combined effects of, first, the 140 meters water equivalent overburden attenuating the cosmic muon flux by a factor of 40, and second, scintillation veto detectors gating out most of the remaining muon-induced effects. The new background data are compared to spectra taken with the same detectors at the Earth's surface and at other underground sites. Subsequently, the beam intensity from the cesium sputter ion source installed in Felsenkeller has been studied over periods of several hours. Based on the background and beam intensity data reported here, for the example of the $^{12}$C($α$,$γ$)$^{16}$O reaction it is shown that highly sensitive experiments will be possible.

description: Our cognitive system implicitly binds relevant stimulus features into a coherent episodic event. According to past research, relative to young adults, older adults are more likely to hyper-bind extraneous co-occurrences and tend to prioritise positive over negative information. However, the interaction of these cognitive and emotional processes is unknown. The current study thus examined the influence of emotion on age-related hyper-binding. Participants completed a 1-back task for neutral target pictures paired with positive, negative, or neutral distractor words. After a delay, participants completed a paired-associate learning task for pairs that were either preserved or disrupted from the 1-back task, followed by a cued-recall test for those pairs. Compared to young adults, older adults showed better recall of preserved neutral pairs relative to disrupted neutral pairs, replicating the age-related hyper-binding effect. Interestingly, whereas older adults did not hyper-bind emotional pairs, young adults showed hyper-binding of negative pairs, but not positive or neutral. This implies that young adults may also implicitly bind irrelevant co-occurrences when they include negative information. Consistent with a negativity bias in youth, negative words may have captured young adults’ attention, facilitating binding of pairs. These findings highlight the need to consider emotional effects on age differences in cognitive processing.

description: Clinical and laboratory studies have demonstrated that executing a demanding dual-task while recollecting emotional memories weakens the emotional intensity and vividness of these memories. While this approach is generally effective, there is room for improvement. According to multi-component working memory theories, the effectiveness of dual-tasks may be improved by loading specifically the same sensory modality of the emotional memories. So far, however, the evidence for this idea is mixed. In the current report, this idea was tested in a pilot study (N = 36) and a pre-registered experiment (N = 60) by exposing participants to pictures of the International Affective Picture System database and to sounds of the International Affective Digital Sounds database, thus creating single-modality emotional memories. Using a within-subjects design, participants had to recollect their memories of the sounds and pictures while executing a visually-demanding task (i.e. identifying visual letters), an auditory-demanding task (i.e. identifying auditory letters), or no task. Across both studies, we only found limited evidence for modality-specific effects of dual-tasks on single-modality emotional memories. We discuss the relevance of our findings for working memory theories of memory change and therapeutic practices.

description: The spectrum of hadrons is the manifestation of color confinement of quantum chromodynamics. Hadronic resonances correspond to poles of the S-matrix. Since 2003, lots of new hadron resonant structures were discovered in the mass regions from light mesons to hadrons containing a pair of a heavy quark and an antiquark. Many of them are candidates of exotic hadrons, and they are usually observed as peaks in invariant mass distributions. However, the S-matrix also has kinematical singularities due to the on-shellness of intermediate particles for a process, such as two-body thresholds and triangle singularities, and they can produce peaks as well. On the one hand, such singularities may be misidentified as resonances; on the other hand, they can be used as tools for precision measurements. In this paper, we review the threshold cusps and various triangle singularities in hadronic reactions, paying attention to their manifestations in phenomena related to exotic hadron candidates.

description: Compensated isocurvature perturbations (CIPs) are modulations of the relative baryon and dark matter density that leave the total matter density constant. The best current constraints from the primary cosmic microwave background (CMB) are consistent with CIPs some two orders of magnitude larger in amplitude than adiabatic perturbations, suggesting that there may be a huge gap in our knowledge of the early Universe. However, it was recently suggested by Barreira~et.~al. that CIPs which are correlated with the primordial curvature perturbation, as arises in some versions of the curvaton model, lead to a new observable: scale dependent galaxy bias. Combining a galaxy survey with an unbiased tracer of the density field facilitates a measurement of the amplitude of correlated CIPs that is free from cosmic variance, the main limitation on constraints from the primary CMB. Among the most promising tracers to use for this purpose is the remote dipole field, reconstructed using the technique of kinetic Sunyaev Zel'dovich (kSZ) tomography. In this paper, we evaluate the detection significance on the amplitude of correlated CIPs possible with next-generation CMB and galaxy surveys using kSZ tomography. Our analysis includes all relativistic contributions to the observed galaxy number counts and allows for both CIPs and primordial non-Gaussianity, which also gives rise to a scale dependent galaxy bias. We find that kSZ tomography can probe CIPs of comparable amplitude to the adiabatic fluctuations, representing an improvement of over two orders of magnitude upon current constraints, and an order of magnitude over what will be possible using future CMB or galaxy surveys alone.

description: We investigated the association between cognitive control and individual differences in cortisol response to stress in participants with generalised anxiety disorder (GAD) and in never-disordered controls (CTL). To assess cognitive control, participants completed an affective version of the reading span task, which measures working memory capacity (WMC) in the presence of negative and neutral distractors. Participants then completed a standard psychosocial stressor and provided salivary cortisol samples throughout. The relation between WMC and cortisol response to stress was dependent on diagnostic group and distractor valence. Within the GAD group, greater WMC in the presence of neutral distractors was associated with attenuated cortisol response to stress, and greater WMC in the presence of negative distractors was associated with faster cortisol recovery from stress. In contrast, within the CTL group, WMC was unrelated to cortisol stress reactivity or recovery.

description: We first briefly review the theoretical basis for calculations of changes of hadronic properties in dense nuclear matter. These changes have usually been investigated by means of relativistic heavy-ion reactions. Here we discuss that observable consequences of such changes can also be seen in more elementary reactions on nuclei. Particular emphasis is put on a discussion of actual observables in photonuclear reactions; we discuss in detail $η$- and vector-meson production. We show that photoproduction of $η$'s can yield essential information on in-medium properties of the $S_{11}(1535)$ resonance while the $ϕ$ meson properties will probably not be accessible through the $K^+K^-$ decay channel. However, for $ω$ mesons the $π^0γ$ decay channel, due to its reduced final state interaction, looks more promising in this respect. Completely free of final state interactions is dilepton production in the few GeV range. We show that the sensitivity of this decay channel to changes of hadronic properties in medium in photonuclear reactions on nuclei is as large as in ultrarelativistic heavy ion collisions. Finally we discuss that hadron production in nuclei at 10 -- 20 GeV photon energies can give important information on the hadronization process.

description: Since the 90s, successive reforms of the CAP have progressively introduced environmental considerations into the policy’s goals. However, the CAP remains a sectorial policy intended to modernise the tools of production and support farmers’ income. The agri-environmental measures (AEM) represent the CAP’s most focused environmental initiatives, but they are granted a relatively modest budget, are dependent on voluntary adoption (with a low rate of uptake) and their limited duration makes significant structural changes difficult. Making aid payments conditional and subject to the respect of sanitary and environmental regulations is not a very efficient system, because the payments are not proportional to the environmental services rendered. While the majority of farm income support is financed by the European budget, support for public goods comes from the Ministries of External Affairs, with funding from both the European budget and the regions, with a continuous rise of the European contribution. Now, the aid to the farm income ensuring a certain degree of social cohesion is much more a regional or national matter than a European one, while some public goods provided through agriculture benefit to all the European citizens. The provision of some of the public goods through agriculture is therefore an opportunity to re-found the CAP around purposes common to the Member States, and dedicating the agricultural public aid to the production of public goods becomes a central issue.
