description: We study on-line strategies for solving problems with hybrid algorithms. There is a problem Q and w basic algorithms for solving Q. For some lambda <= w, we have a computer with lambda disjoint memory areas, each of which can be used to run a basic algorithm and store its intermediate results. In the worst case, only one basic algorithm can solve Q in finite time, and all the other basic algorithms run forever without solving Q. To solve Q with a hybrid algorithm constructed from the basic algorithms, we run a basic algorithm for some time, then switch to another, and continue this process until Q is solved. The goal is to solve Q in the least amount of time. Using competitive ratios to measure the efficiency of a hybrid algorithm, we construct an optimal deterministic hybrid algorithm and an efficient randomized hybrid algorithm. This resolves an open question on searching with multiple robots posed by Baeza-Yates, Culberson and Rawlins. We also prove that our randomized algorithm is optimal for lambda = 1, settling a conjecture of Kao, Reif and Tate.

description: We prove existence and uniqueness of the reflected backward stochastic differential equation's (RBSDE) solution with a lower obstacle which is assumed to be right upper-semicontinuous but not necessarily right-continuous in a filtration that supports a Brownian motion $W$ and an independent Poisson random measure $π$. The result is established by using some tools from the general theory of processes such as Mertens decomposition of optional strong (but not necessarily right continuous) supermartingales and some tools from optimal stopping theory, as well as an appropriate generalization of Itô's formula due to Gal'chouk and Lenglart. Two applications on dynamic risk measure and on optimal stopping will be given.

description: We investigate the process of random sequential adsorption of polydisperse particles whose size distribution exhibits a power-law dependence in the small size limit, $P(R)\sim R^{α-1}$. We reveal a relation between pattern formation kinetics and structural properties of arising patterns. We propose a mean-field theory which provides a fair description for sufficiently small $α$. When $α\to \infty$, highly ordered structures locally identical to the Apollonian packing are formed. We introduce a quantitative criterion of the regularity of the pattern formation process. When $α\gg 1$, a sharp transition from irregular to regular pattern formation regime is found to occur near the jamming coverage of standard random sequential adsorption with monodisperse size distribution.

description: Semantic subtyping is an approach to define subtyping relations for type systems featuring union and intersection type connectives. It has been studied only for strict languages, and it is unsound for non-strict semantics. In this work, we study how to adapt this approach to non-strict languages: in particular, we define a type system using semantic subtyping for a functional language with a call-by-need semantics. We do so by introducing an explicit representation for divergence in the types, so that the type system distinguishes expressions that are results from those which are computations that might diverge.

description: The present laboratory study examined the impact of knowledge of results (KR) with multiple monitors on vigilance performance and mental workload. Previous studies have shown that multiple monitors and KR both have positive effects on performance. In addition, KR has been shown to attenuate the vigilance decrement, and reduce subjective ratings of mental workload. Social facilitory effects were e..pected to increase arousal for monitors working in pairs on a vigilance task and result in better performance compared to monitors working individually. Also, the social interaction between monitors working in pairs was expected to lower ratings of subjective workload. Subjects monitored the repeated presentation of a square on a visual display terminal (VDT) for 40 minutes and were told to press a response button whenever the size of the square increased. Subjects completed the task individually or with a second monitor and received KR for hits, false alarms, misses or no-KR. Self-report measures of arousal and mental workload were recorded. The results indicated that there were essentially no differences in performance between the monitors who worked in pairs and those who worked individually. In addition, no differences were found between workload ratings. However, there was a tendency for KR for hits and false alarms to attenuate the vigilance decrement, but not to lower workload ratings. Process loss between monitors is discussed as a possible explanation for why the paired monitors did not perform better than the individual monitors. In addition, the length and difficulty of the task may have rendered KR ineffective in eliminating the vigilance decrement and reducing ratings of workload.

description: This paper proposes a novel architecture to generate multi-hop answers to open domain questions that require information from texts and tables, using the Open Table-and-Text Question Answering dataset for validation and training. One of the most common ways to generate answers in this setting is to retrieve information sequentially, where a selected piece of data helps searching for the next piece. As different models can have distinct behaviors when called in this sequential information search, a challenge is how to select models at each step. Our architecture employs reinforcement learning to choose between different state-of-the-art tools sequentially until, in the end, a desired answer is generated. This system achieved an F1-score of 19.03, comparable to iterative systems in the literature.

description: A "squeezed-vacuum" state considered in quantum optics is shown to be realized in the ground-state wavefunction for the bilayer quantum Hall system at the total Landau level filling of $ν=1/m$ (m: odd integer). This is derived in the boson approximation, where a particle-hole pair creation across the symmetric-antisymmetric gap, $Δ_{SAS}$, is regarded as a boson. In terms of the pseudospin describing the layers, the state is a spin-squeezed state, where the degree of squeezing is controlled by the layer separation and $Δ_{SAS}$. An exciton condensation, which amounts to a rotated spin-squeezed state, has a higher energy due to the degraded SU(2) symmetry for $Δ_{SAS} \neq 0$.

description: We present new ALMA dust continuum observations of 101 $\log(\mathrm{M}_* / \mathrm{M}_\odot)$ > 9.5 galaxies in the COSMOS field to study the effect of environment on the interstellar medium at z ~ 0.7. At this redshift, our targets span a wide range of environments allowing for a diverse sample of galaxies with densities, $Σ$ = 0.16-10.5 Mpc$^{-2}$ (per $Δ$ z = 0.024). Using the ALMA observations, we calculate the total ISM mass and look for depletion as a function of galaxy density in order to understand the quenching or triggering of star formation in galaxies in different environments. ISM mass is found to have a small dependence on environment, while the depletion timescale remains constant (~200 Myrs) across all environments. We find elevated ISM mass values at intermediate densities and lower values at high densities compared to low (field) densities. Our observed evolution in gas fraction with density in this single redshift slice is equivalent to the observed evolution with cosmic time over 2-3 Gyr. To explain the change in gas mass fraction seen in galaxies in intermediate and high densities, these results suggest environmental processes such as mergers and ram pressure stripping are likely playing a role in dense filamentary-cluster environments.

description: Geometrical arrangements of minimum energy of a system of identical repelling particles in two dimensions are studied for different forms of the interaction potential. Stability conditions for the triangular structure are derived, and some potentials not satisfying them are discussed. It is shown that in addition to the triangular lattice, other structures may appear (some of them with non-trivial unit cells, and non-equivalent positions of the particles) even for simple choices of the interaction. The same qualitative behavior is expected in three dimensions.

description: The electric quadrupole response in $^{112,114}$Sn isotopes is investigated by energy-density functional (EDF) and three-phonon quasiparticle-phonon model (QPM) theory with special emphasis on 2$^+$ excitations located above the first collective quadrupole state and below 5 MeV. Additional quadrupole strength clustering as a sequence of states similar to the recently observed pygmy quadrupole resonance in $^{124}$Sn is found. The spectral distributions and transition densities of these 2$^+$ states show special features being compatible with oscillations of a neutron skin against the isospin-symmetric nuclear core. Furthermore, two new ($p$, $p' γ$) Doppler-shift attenuation (DSA) coincidence experiments were performed at the SONIC@HORUS setup. Quadrupole states with excitation energies up to 4.2 MeV were populated in $^{112,114}$Sn. Lifetimes and branching ratios were measured allowing for the determination of the reduced quadrupole transition strengths to the ground state. A stringent comparison of the new data to EDF+QPM theory in $^{112}$Sn and $^{114}$Sn isotopes hints at the occurrence of a low-energy quadrupole mode of unique character which could be interpreted as pygmy quadrupole resonance.

description: This paper presents the design and comprehensive measurements of a high-performance 8-element linear array and a compact high-gain 32-element planar antenna array covering the n257 (26.5--29.5 GHz) FR-2 millimeter-wave (mmWave) band. First, an 8-element series-fed linear array is designed with a fan-shaped pattern for 5G point-to-multipoint connectivity. Then a 4-way corporate-series feed network is designed for a high-gain 32-element compact and directive array for point-to-point mmWave connectivity. Comprehensive over-the-air (OTA) measurements are conducted using a state-of-the-art compact antenna test range (CATR) system, enabling precise characterization of radiation patterns across a 180^\circ span in the azimuth and elevation planes. The planar array achieves a peak measured gain of 18.45 dBi at 28.5 GHz, with half-power beamwidths ranging from 11^\circ--13^\circ (wide axis) and 23^\circ--27^\circ (narrow axis) across the band of interest. The sidelobe levels are below -10 dB in the desired band of interest. The measured results match well with the simulation results. The designed antenna array is applicable to various emerging 5G and beyond mmWave applications such as high data rate mmWave wireless backhaul, mmWave near-field focusing, high-resolution indoor radar systems, 28 GHz Local Multipoint Distribution Service (LMDS), as well as the characterization of mmWave path loss and channel sounding in diverse indoor environments.

description: We consider a normal metal - superconductor (N-S) junction in the regime, when electrons in the normal metal are driven out of equilibrium. We show that the non-equilibrium fluctuations of the electron density in the N-layer cause the fluctuations of the phase of the order parameter in the S-layer. As a result, the density of states in the superconductor deviates from the BCS form, most notably the density of states in the gap becomes finite. This effect can be viewed as a result of the time reversal symmetry breaking due to the non-equilibrium, and can be described in terms of a low energy collective mode of the junction, which couples normal currents in N-layer and supercurrents. This mode is analogous to the Schmid-Schön mode. To interpret their measurements of the tunneling current, Pothier {\em et. al} [Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 79}, 3490 (1997)] had to assume that the energy relaxation rate in the normal metal is surprisingly high. The broadening of the BCS singularity of the density of states in the S-layer manifest itself similarly to the broadening of the distribution function. Mechanism suggested here can be a possible explanation of this experimental puzzle. We also propose an independent experiment to test our explanation.

Workplace inclusion policies and practices for ethnic minorities: a comparative analysis of the United Kingdom and Thailand
Creators: name: Hemvanich, Dissaya
Publisher: name: Anglia Ruskin Research Online (ARRO)
Year: 2024

description: The UK and Thailand both have significant minority ethnic migrant populations in the labour force. The effectiveness of workplace inclusion policies and practices at reducing discrimination and inequalities in both countries has been assessed and a comparative analysis performed. Minority ethnic migrants, an employer, and Human Resources (HR) experts (n=13) were first interviewed in each country to collect qualitative insights into the experiences of migrants. A questionnaire was then completed by both British and Thai natives (n=50) to collect quantitative data on their perspectives of their countries’ policies towards migrants. Quantitative results were analysed to determine if previously identified factors cause workplace discrimination and inequalities. To help explain human perspectives, outcomes were evaluated using Best Practice, Best Fit, Microaggressions, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs and Social Norms theoretical and analytical frameworks.Analysis revealed that inefficient immigration systems in both countries were the primary barriers to successful migration and, alongside poor Quality of Work Life (QWL), had long-lasting negative effects on the careers of migrants. These two areas have been neglected in past HR studies. Using the findings, updated inclusion policies and practices were proposed to improve the QWL for migrants. Increased inclusivity in the workplace can ensure fairness for both natives and migrants, allowing the talents of employees to be realised and ultimately giving businesses competitive advantage. This is important for both organisations and individuals.The increasing diversity of people in workplaces demonstrates the relevance of this research. This work combined an exploratory mixed method, an inductive approach, and a dialectical materialism viewpoint and is believed to be the first such example in a HR study. Furthermore, to the best of our knowledge, a comparison of inclusion policies and practices in UK and Thai workplaces has not been previously performed.

description: The fusion of multi-source data is essential for a comprehensive analysis of geographic applications. Due to distinct data structures, the fusion process tends to encounter technical difficulties in terms of preservation of the intactness of each source data. Furthermore, a lack of generalized methods is a problem when the method is expected to be applicable in multiple resolutions, sizes, or scales of raster and vector data, to what is being processed. In this study, we propose a general algorithm of assigning features from raster data (concentrations of air pollutants) to vector components (roads represented by edges) in city maps through the iterative construction of virtual layers to expand geolocation from a city centre to boundaries in a 2D projected map. The construction follows the rule of perfect squares with a slight difference depending on the oddness or evenness of the ratio of city size to raster resolution. We demonstrate the algorithm by applying it to assign accurate PM$_{2.5}$ and NO$_{2}$ concentrations to roads in 1692 cities globally for a potential graph-based pollution analysis. This method could pave the way for agile studies on urgent climate issues by providing a generic and efficient method to accurately fuse multiple datasets of varying scales and compositions.

description: This essay places Toni Morrison’s Beloved into conversation with John Locke’s labor theory of property and Harriet Jacobs’s Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl. I argue that Morrison adapts the Enlightenment tropes often found in slave narratives to her own postmodern project, creating a novel that not only refigures the Enlightenment tradition, but also searches for ways to reconcile African-American literary history with African Americans’ historical exclusion from the rights and protections, including that of self-ownership, championed by liberal philosophy. As Morrison examines the implications of locating a seminal component of her own literary tradition within an historically adverse intellectual framework, she demonstrates the capacity of narrative to synthesize competing ideological paradigms and fashion visionary imaginings of the future.

description: Metal-insulator transitions in two dimensional materials represent a great opportunity for fast, low energy and ultra-dense switching devices. Due to the small energy difference between its semimetallic and semiconducting crystal phases, phase transition in MoTe$_2$ can occur with an unprecedented small amount of external perturbations. In this work, we used density functional theory to predict critical strain and electrostatic voltage required to control the phase transition of 3d and 4d metal doped MoTe$_2$. We found that small doping contents dramatically affect the relative energies of MoTe$_2$ crystal phases and can largely reduced the energy input to trigger the transition, compared to pristine case. Moreover, the kinetics corresponding to the phase transition in the proposed doped materials are several order of magnitude faster than in MoTe$_2$. For example, we predict 6.3 \% Mn doped MoTe$_2$ to switch phase under 1.19 V gate voltage in less than 1 $μ$s with an input energy of 0.048 aJ/nm$^3$. Due to the presence of dopant, the controlled change of phase is often complemented with a change in magnetic moment leading to multi-functional phase transition.

description: Tibet, ensconced within China's territorial expanse, is distinguished by its labyrinthine and heterogeneous topography, a testament to its profound historical heritage, and the cradle of a unique religious ethos. The very essence of these attributes, however, has impeded the advancement of Tibet's tourism service infrastructure, rendering existing smart tourism services inadequate for the region's visitors. This study delves into the ramifications of informational disparities at tourist sites on Tibetan tourism and addresses the challenge of establishing the Large Language Model (LLM) evaluation criteria. It introduces an innovative approach, the DualGen Bridge AI system, employing supervised fine-tuning techniques to bolster model functionality and enhance optimization processes. Furthermore, it pioneers a multi-structured generative results assessment framework. Empirical validation confirms the efficacy of this framework. The study also explores the application of the supervised fine-tuning method within the proprietary DualGen Bridge AI, aimed at refining the generation of tourist site information.

description: This article will consider some of the implications of the casting of two of France’s most renowned stars, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Omar Sy, in Olivier Nakache’s and Éric Toledano’s 2014 film Samba, the much-anticipated follow-up film to their box office hit Intouchables (2011). It will examine the casting of Sy and Gainsbourg both in terms of how the film imports their respective star personae and the impact this has on characterisation in the film, and in terms of the representation of Frenchness. After examining the socio-political context in which the film was made, the respective star personae of Sy and Gainsbourg will be considered through key scenes which demonstrate how these personae function.

description: Light is produced when a scanning tunneling microscope is used to probe a metal surface. Recent experiments on cobalt utilizing a tungsten tip found that the light is circularly polarized; the sense of circular polarization depends on the direction of the sample magnetization, and the degree of polarization is of order 10 %. This raises the possibility of constructing a magnetic microscope with very good spatial resolution. We present a theory of this effect for iron and cobalt and find a degree of polarization of order 0.1 %. This is in disagreement with the experiments on cobalt as well as previous theoretical work which found order of magnitude agreement with the experimental results. However, a recent experiment on iron showed 0.0 ${\pm}$2 %. We predict that the use of a silver tip would increase the degree of circular polarization for a range of photon energies.

description: The poetry of nineteenth-century Brazilian writer Machado de Assis offers a fascinating case study of literary and cultural circulation between Latin America and Europe. While all nine of his novels and many short stories have now been translated into English, more than a century after his death only a handful of his roughly 200 poems have been translated into English. Through Roberto Schwarz’s framework of “misplaced ideas,” this paper examines the role Machado played in importing external cultural elements into Brazil through his poetry, criticism, translations, and novels, and interrogates the conditions that have contributed to the failure of his poetry to reach the Anglophone world. Using Machado’s own essay on the Brazilian literary instinct, as well as José Luís Jobim’s work on both circulation and Machado’s development as a writer, this paper also helps place Machado’s poetry within the scheme of his larger literary project, encompassing his novels, short stories, poetry, and literary and cultural criticism.
One Two Many: On Nick Land’s Numbering Practices

description: This paper examines Nick Land’s “numbering practices” for opening up language to modernity’s increasing technological entanglement beyond human comprehension. I begin by examining Land’s attempt to override our linguistic systems with machinic code and binary symbolism in a way which mirrors modernity’s technological future shock. I then consider his appropriation of Cantor’s set theory and Gödel’s incompleteness theorem to plot ever greater degrees of reality’s excess to all anthropic logic. The third section looks at Land’s use of qabbalistic numerology to uncover the absolute contingency of all our most strongly held beliefs, truths and values. The fourth section considers Land’s radicalisation of qabbalism through his own particularly abstract and inhuman notational “gematria.” I conclude by looking at Land’s interest in the computer keyboard’s lock-in to the QWERTY layout for proffering a glimpse of modern technology’s increasingly dehumanising meltdown of our anthropocentric delusions of grandeur.

description: The learning data requirements are analyzed for the construction of stealth attacks in state estimation. In particular, the training data set is used to compute a sample covariance matrix that results in a random matrix with a Wishart distribution. The ergodic attack performance is defined as the average attack performance obtained by taking the expectation with respect to the distribution of the training data set. The impact of the training data size on the ergodic attack performance is characterized by proposing an upper bound for the performance. Simulations on the IEEE 30-Bus test system show that the proposed bound is tight in practical settings.

description: An evolutionary tree is a rooted tree where each internal vertex has at least two children and where the leaves are labeled with distinct symbols representing species. Evolutionary trees are useful for modeling the evolutionary history of species. An agreement subtree of two evolutionary trees is an evolutionary tree which is also a topological subtree of the two given trees. We give an algorithm to determine the largest possible number of leaves in any agreement subtree of two trees T_1 and T_2 with n leaves each. If the maximum degree d of these trees is bounded by a constant, the time complexity is O(n log^2(n)) and is within a log(n) factor of optimal. For general d, this algorithm runs in O(n d^2 log(d) log^2(n)) time or alternatively in O(n d sqrt(d) log^3(n)) time.

description: As many Kagome metals, the topological superconductor AV$_3$Sb$_5$ with (A = K,Rb,Cs) hosts a charge density wave . A related chiral flux phase that breaks the time-reversal symmetry has been further theoretically predicted in these materials. The flux phase is associated with loop currents that produce ordered orbital magnetic moments, which would occur at the momentum points, $\bf M$, characterizing the charge-density wave state. Polarized neutron-diffraction experiments have been performed on an assembly of single crystals of ${\rm CsV_3Sb_5}$ to search for such orbital magnetic moments. No evidence for the existence of a three-dimensionally ordered moment is found at any temperature at the first ${\bf M_1}$=(1/2,0,0) point in the Brillouin zone within an excellent experimental uncertainty, ${\it i.e.}$ ${\bf m}=0 \pm 0.01μ_B$ per vanadium atom. However, a hint to a magnetic orbital moment is found in the second Brillouin zone at {\bf M$_2$}=(1/2,1/2,0) at the detection limit of the experiment. Some loop currents patterns flowing ${\it only}$ on vanadium triangles are able to account for this finding suggesting an ordered orbital magnetic moment of, at most, $\sim 0.02 \pm 0.01μ_B$ per vanadium triangle.

Gravitational quasinormal modes of black holes in Einstein-aether theory

description: The local Lorentz violation (LV) in gravity sector should show itself in derivation of the characteristic quasinormal modes (QNMs) of black hole mergers from their general relativity case. In this paper, I study QNMs of the gravitational field perturbations to Einstein-aether black holes and, at first compare them to those in Schwarzschild black hole, and then some other known LV gravity theories. By comparing to Schwarzschild black hole, the first kind aether black holes have larger damping rate and the second ones have lower damping rate. And they all have smaller real oscillation frequency of QNMs. By comparing to some other LV theories, the QNMs of the first kind aether black hole are similar to that of the QED-extension limit of standard model extension, non-minimal coupling to Einstein's tensor and massive gravity theories. While as to the second kind aether black hole, they are similar to those of the noncommutative gravity theories and Einstein-Born-Infeld theories. These similarities may imply that LV in gravity sector and LV in matter sector have some intrinsic connections.

description: My mother spread out cashews, pistachios, and walnuts in a single layer on a baking tray. She told me it was important not to mound them up, important that they were toasted evenly. She picked through, looking for small broken pieces, especially of walnuts, and removed them so they wouldn’t burn. Small pieces of burnt walnuts could spoil the flavour of the whole baqlaawe because, once they were ground up, the flavour would go throughout the whole sticky dessert. The oven ticked as it heated up and would continue to tick for hours after it had been used as it cooled down again. While the nuts toasted in the oven, she cooked up water, sugar, and a little lemon juice. She held the temperamental ignitor down as the stovetop clicked into life with a whoomp of flame that settled into a more well-behaved, gentle burn on medium. The numbers around the dial were long ago cleaned off by an overly enthusiastic use of Jiff or Handy Andy.

description: Objectives: To determine the role of metacarpocortical index (MCI) in predicting renal osteodystrophy among patients with chronic renal failure. Additionally, the association between laboratory parameters including blood urea, serum creatinine, serum calcium, serum phosphorous, serum alkaline phosphatase, serum uric acid and metacarpocortical index was determined. Methods: This was a hospital-based case control study conducted in the outpatient department and inpatient wards of the Department of Internal Medicine, tertiary healthcare facility in south India between patients between 18 and 60 years of age, of both gender with chronic renal failure, regardless of the cause. Results: The mean (SD) MCI among cases was 0.47 (0.09) and among controls was 0.71 (0.05) – the difference was found to be statistically significant (p<0.05). Among cases (n = 100), more than one third patients (39.0%) had blood urea levels less than 40 mg/dl; nearly half the patients (45.0%) had serum creatinine levels less than 1.4 mg/dl; a little more than half the patients (51.0%) had serum calcium between 7 mg/dl and 10.4 mg/dl; two third patients (67.0%) had serum phosphorus levels less than 4.5 mg/dl; two third patients (66.0%) had serum ALP levels between 60 IU/L and 100 IU/L; and more than two third patients (72.0%) had uric acid levels between 4 mg/dl to 7 mg/dl. The results of Pearson’s correlation analysis showed that serum urea levels had significant negative strong correlation (r=-0.69; p=0.001); serum creatinine levels had significant negative moderate correlation (r=-0.52; p=0.002); serum calcium levels had significant positive strong correlation (r=0.73; p=<0.001); serum phosphorus levels had significant negative moderate correlation (r=-0.51; p=<0.001); serum alkaline phosphatase levels had significant negative strong correlation (r=-0.70; p=<0.001); and serum uric acid levels had significant negative moderate correlation (r=-0.42; p=<0.001) with MCI values in patients with CRF. Conclusion: The study highlights the potential of MCI as an early indicator, aiding in the timely implementation of preventive measures to mitigate the risks associated with renal osteodystrophy.
