description: In this article, we derive the finite temperature Casimir force acting on a pair of parallel plates due to a massless scalar field propagating in the bulk of a higher dimensional brane model. In contrast to previous works which used approximations for the effective masses in deriving the Casimir force, the formulas of the Casimir force we derive are exact formulas. Our results disprove the speculations that existence of the warped extra dimension can change the sign of the Casimir force, be it at zero or any finite temperature.

description: In 2002, Baker Hughes was accused of violating the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA). This case describes the actions taken by the company in response to those accusations. These include hiring a third-party law firm to undertake an independent investigation and voluntarily reviewing its entire global operations with the purpose of discovering other FCPA violations. Simultaneously, the company engaged in a comprehensive restructuring of its policies and systems for preventing and detecting the issuance of questionable payments.
Self-correspondences of K3 surfaces via moduli of sheaves and arithmetic hyperbolic reflection groups

description: An integral hyperbolic lattice is called reflective if its automorphism group is generated by reflections, up to finite index. Since 1981, it is known that their number is essentially finite. We show that K3 surfaces over C with reflective Picard lattices can be characterized in terms of compositions of their self-correspondences via moduli of sheaves with primitive isotropic Mukai vector: Their self-correspondences with integral action on the Picard lattice are numerically equivalent to compositions of a finite number of especially simple self-correspondences via moduli of sheaves. This relates two topics: Self-correspondences of K3 surfaces via moduli of sheaves and Arithmetic hyperbolic reflection groups. It also raises several natural unsolved related problems.

title: Cheminformatics Tools to Explore the Chemical Space of Peptides and Natural Products
Creators: name: Capecchi, Alice
Publisher: name: Universität Bern
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: 540 Chemistry
subject: 570 Life sciences; biology

description: Cheminformatics facilitates the analysis, storage, and collection of large quantities of chemical data, such as molecular structures and molecules' properties and biological activity, and it has revolutionized medicinal chemistry for small molecules. However, its application to larger molecules is still underrepresented. This thesis work attempts to fill this gap and extend the cheminformatics approach towards large molecules and peptides.

This thesis is divided into two parts. The first part presents the implementation and application of two new molecular descriptors: macromolecule extended atom pair fingerprint (MXFP) and MinHashed atom pair fingerprint of radius 2 (MAP4). MXFP is an atom pair fingerprint suitable for large molecules, and here, it is used to explore the chemical space of non-Lipinski molecules within the widely used PubChem and ChEMBL databases. MAP4 is a MinHashed hybrid of substructure and atom pair fingerprints suitable for encoding small and large molecules. MAP4 is first benchmarked against commonly used atom pairs and substructure fingerprints, and then it is used to investigate the chemical space of microbial and plants natural products with the aid of machine learning and chemical space mapping.

The second part of the thesis focuses on peptides, and it is introduced by a review chapter on approaches to discover novel peptide structures and describing the known peptide chemical space. Then, a genetic algorithm that uses MXFP in its fitness function is described and challenged to generate peptide analogs of peptidic or non-peptidic queries. Finally, supervised and unsupervised machine learning is used to generate novel antimicrobial and non-hemolytic peptide sequences.

description: Netflix was among a small group of Silicon Valley companies to emerge from the technology bubble of the late 1990s a clear winner in terms of growth, market share, and profitability. That Netflix was able not only to prevail over this competition but also to thrive was largely attributable to the culture of freedom and responsibility inculcated by founder Reed Hastings. To foster this culture, the company adopted a series of unique employment practices that were meant to attract, retain, and motivate the type of employee that Netflix valued. Among these practices was a compensation system with several unconventional features. Whereas most companies provided compensation packages with a predetermined mix of cash and equity-based awards, Netflix turned the model on its head and allowed employees to request their own mix. Management was interested in finding out whether this practice supported or detracted from the company’s main objectives for its employees.

Szego asymptotics for matrix-valued measures with countably many bound states
Creators: name: Kozhan, Rostyslav
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Spectral Theory (math.SP)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Let $μ$ be a matrix-valued measure with the essential spectrum a single interval and countably many point masses outside of it. Under the assumption that the absolutely continuous part of $μ$ satisfies Szego's condition and the point masses satisfy a Blaschke-type condition, we obtain the asymptotic behavior of the orthonormal polynomials on and off the support of the measure. The result generalizes the scalar analogue of Peherstorfer-Yuditskii and the matrix-valued result of Aptekarev-Nikishin, which handles only a finite number of mass points.

description: A change in the effective permittivity of a ferroelectric film in the paraelectric phase under the action of a strong high-frequency field (nonequilibrium soft mode heating) is considered. It is shown that this effect must be most clearly pronounced far from the resonance (ω_0 << ω_sm), rather than for the external field frequency ω_0 close to the soft mode frequency ω_sm. The effective permittivity as a function of the high-frequency field amplitude is calculated using the phenomenological approach and within the microscopic theory based on the simple model of a displacement-type ferroelectric.

The Single Machine Total Weighted Tardiness Problem - Is it (for Metaheuristics) a Solved Problem ?
Creators: name: Geiger, Martin Josef
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: The article presents a study of rather simple local search heuristics for the single machine total weighted tardiness problem (SMTWTP), namely hillclimbing and Variable Neighborhood Search. In particular, we revisit these approaches for the SMTWTP as there appears to be a lack of appropriate/challenging benchmark instances in this case. The obtained results are impressive indeed. Only few instances remain unsolved, and even those are approximated within 1% of the optimal/best known solutions. Our experiments support the claim that metaheuristics for the SMTWTP are very likely to lead to good results, and that, before refining search strategies, more work must be done with regard to the proposition of benchmark data. Some recommendations for the construction of such data sets are derived from our investigations.

description: We show how to construct a reduced description of interacting genes in noisy, small regulatory networks using coupled binary "spin" variables. Treating both the protein number and gene expression state variables stochastically and on equal footing we propose a mapping which connects the molecular level description of networks to the binary representation. We construct a phase diagram indicating when genes can be considered to be independent and when the coupling between them cannot be neglected leading to synchrony or correlations. We find that an appropriately mapped boolean description reproduces the probabilities of gene expression states of the full stochastic system very well and can be transfered to examples of self-regulatory systems with a larger number of gene copies.

This new hadronic transport model is then used to study the transverse momentum spectrum and elliptic flow of deuterons in relativistic heavy ion collisions, with the initial hadron distributions after hadronization of produced quark-gluon plasma taken from a blast wave model. The results are compared with those measured by the PHENIX and STAR Collaborations for Au+Au collisions at $\sqrt{s_{NN}^{}} = 200$ GeV, and also with those obtained from the coalescence model based on freeze-out nucleons in the transport model.

PBG properties of three-component 2D photonic crystals

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)

description: In this paper we analyze theoretically how the introduction of the third component into the two-dimensional photonic crystal influences the photonic band structure and the density-of-states of the system. We consider the periodic array of cylindrical air rods in a dielectric, and the third medium is introduced as a ring-shaped intermediate layer between the air pores and the dielectric background. Using the plane wave method, we have obtained the band structures for the 2D triangular lattice photonic crystals. The dependencies of TE and TM band gaps' widths and gaps' edges position on the interlayer dielectric constant and interlayer thickness were analyzed. In the framework of this approach, we have estimated the influence of the surface oxide layer on the band structure of macroporous silicon. We observed the shift of the gaps' edges to the higher or lower frequencies, depending on the interlayer thickness and dielectric constant. We have shown that the existence of a native oxide surface layer should be taken into consideration to understand the optical properties of 2D photonic crystals, particularly in macroporous silicon structures.

Island fictions : castaways and imperialism
Creators: name: Hartmann, BU
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis examines nearly three centuries of island novels by focusing on Daniel Defoe's Robinson Crusoe (1719) and its textual legacy. Fictional islands lie at the heart of this analysis. A broad range of novels are discussed: Defoe's Robinson Crusoe, Johann D. Wyss's The Swiss Family Robinson (1812-13), Frederick Marryat's Masterman Ready (1841-42), R. M. Ballantyne's The Coral Island (1858), Robert Louis Stevenson's Treasure Island (1883), William Golding's Lord of the Flies (1954), Muriel Spark's Robinson (1958), Michel Tournier's Friday (1967), J. M. Coetzee's Foe (1986), and Marianne Wiggins's John Dollar (1989), together with a selection of castaway popular romance novels from the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Analytical attention to setting gives original insight into these texts, and provides a scholarly lens through which they are brought together in a new light. Whilst the legacy of Robinson Crusoe now includes postcolonial novels, I contend that island representations within the later stories remain largely imperial: characters engage with their surroundings through inherited ideological assumptions and attitudes. Ranging from the eighteenth to the twenty-first century, these novels are principally focused on human mastery over, and conquest of, the island terrain. The examination of insular settings is an invaluable means of understanding Robinson Crusoe and the island novels that came in its wake. Such analysis also gives insight into the function of islands within fiction in general. This thesis is located in literary studies, and is informed by scholars such as Martin Green, Diana Loxley, Elizabeth DeLoughrey, Rod Edmond, Gillian Beer, and Rebecca Weaver-Hightower. It also speaks to the interdisciplinary field of island studies, which has, to date, largely neglected literary islands. An examination of Robinson Crusoe‚ÄövÑvÆan archetypal island text‚ÄövÑvÆand its legacy provides an opportunity to begin addressing this gap in the scholarship. Literary islands are brought to the forefront, and their relevance to the scholarly discourse on islands is made apparent. This study of island fictions draws on space/place theory, and borrows from the overlapping fields of island studies, ecocriticism, and cultural geography. Overall, the thesis re-evaluates several significant island novels in order to explore the broader role of islands within fiction.
Terahertz response of dipolar impurities in polar liquids: On anomalous dielectric absorption of protein solutions
Creators: name: Matyushov, D. V.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Biological Physics (physics.bio-ph)
subject: Chemical Physics (physics.chem-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A theory of radiation absorption by dielectric mixtures is presented. The coarse-grained formulation is based on the wavevector-dependent correlation functions of molecular dipoles of the host polar liquid and a density-density structure factor of the positions of the solutes. A nonlinear dependence of the absorption coefficient on the solute concentration is predicted and originates from the mutual polarization of the liquid surrounding the solutes by the collective field of the solute dipoles aligned along the radiation field. The theory is applied to terahertz absorption of hydrated saccharides and proteins. While the theory gives an excellent account of the observations for saccharides without additional assumptions and fitting parameters, experimental absorption coefficient of protein solutions significantly exceeds theoretical calculations within standard dielectric models and shows a peak against the protein concentration. A substantial polarization of protein's hydration shell is required to explain the differences between standard theories and experiment. When the correlation function of the total dipole moment of the protein with its hydration shell from numerical simulations is used in the present analytical model an absorption peak similar to that seen is experiment is obtained. The result is sensitive to the specifics of protein-protein interactions in solution. Numerical testing of the theory requires the combination of terahertz dielectric and small-angle scattering measurements.

Our key observation is that, with proper encoding, two uses of the amplitude damping channel simulate a quantum erasure channel. This allows us to use concatenated codes with quantum erasure-correcting codes as outer codes for correcting multiple amplitude damping errors. Our new codes are degenerate stabilizer codes and have parameters which are better than the amplitude damping codes obtained by any previously known construction.

Optical Hall conductivity in ordinary and graphene QHE systems

description: We have revealed from a numerical study that the optical Hall conductivity $σ_{xy}(ω)$ has a characteristic feature even in the ac ($\sim$ THz) regime in that the Hall plateaus are retained both in the ordinary two-dimensional electron gas and in graphene in the quantum Hall (QHE) regime, although the plateau height is no longer quantized in ac. In graphene $σ_{xy}(ω)$ reflects the unusual Landau level structure. The effect remains unexpectedly robust against a significant strength of disorder, which we attribute to an effect of localization. We predict the ac quantum Hall measurements are feasible through the Faraday rotation characterized by the fine-structure constant $α$.

Masculine madness: The normality of evil in the Western cultural imaginary
Creators: name: Honeywill, RA
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: All men ‚Äö- ordinary and exceptional men ‚Äö- have a potential for evil. What is it? Where does it originate? How does it impact society? Can it be overcome? This thesis explores the masculine potential for evil, and traces its various manifestations in cultural texts, social systems and everyday life practices, from the birth of modernity to the present. 'Masculine madness' is shown to be, not a pathological or psychiatric condition, but a potential for evil in the normality of the everyday, a potential inherent to all men. Combining psychic mechanisms with critical theory, and using an interdisciplinary or bricolage research framework, the thesis examines the origins and impacts of masculine madness from the Enlightenment and modernity, through postmodernity, and into the present; and exposes the violent suppression of Woman and women in the creative and symbolic dimension of the social that forms the Western cultural imaginary. Modernity is shown to be an epoch of institutionalised androcentrism, in which the Enlightenment narrative of plurality was rejected in favour of the script of male mastery, control and domination. A major effect of this was the incorporation of 'madness' as a feature of 'ordinary' masculinity and the ensuing normalisation of evil. Referencing the work of critical theorists, philosophers, feminists and scientists, the thesis describes how the 'banality' and 'ordinariness' of evil points to the Second World War, the Holocaust and the social death of Woman, as explicit outcomes of masculine madness. It reveals an 'Oedipal schism' as the origin of masculine madness, a rupture that negotiates between the extremes of social constructionism and biological determinism, and draws analogies between individual lives and social processes. Masculine madness in postmodernity is shown to be a period of rebellion against the constraints and certitudes of modernity, and an attempt to continue the liberal and pluralising legacy of the Enlightenment. The thesis shows, however, that postmodernity failed to reverse the genocide of Woman or to renounce the selfdeception of masculine madness. A continuing process of re-masculinisation after the end of postmodernity is exposed, in a period which, referencing Bauman, is called the 'liquid present': a time in which masculine madness lives on, as evidenced by inequality in the workplace, growing gender conservatism, and constant eruptions of male violence. The consumer culture of the liquid present is identified as a culture in the making, where the shallow consumer monoculture exists alongside the deep knowledge culture. While the consumer monoculture melancholically nurtures masculine madness, the knowledge culture embodies the conditions for surpassing it by, for example, individualised choices by men. This thesis not only diagnoses masculine madness, but also identifies a possible, and feasible, way forward ‚Äö- a prognosis for society to surpass the annihilative potential of masculine madness.
Improvements for multi-objective flow shop scheduling by Pareto Iterated Local Search
Creators: name: Geiger, Martin Josef
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Artificial Intelligence (cs.AI)

description: The article describes the proposition and application of a local search metaheuristic for multi-objective optimization problems. It is based on two main principles of heuristic search, intensification through variable neighborhoods, and diversification through perturbations and successive iterations in favorable regions of the search space. The concept is successfully tested on permutation flow shop scheduling problems under multiple objectives and compared to other local search approaches. While the obtained results are encouraging in terms of their quality, another positive attribute of the approach is its simplicity as it does require the setting of only very few parameters.
On physical diffusion and stochastic diffusion

description: Although the same mathematical expression is used to describe physical diffusion and stochastic diffusion, there are intrinsic similarities and differences in their nature. A comparative study shows that characteristic terms of physical and stochastic diffusion cannot be placed exactly in one-to-one correspondence. Therefore, judgment needs to be exercised in transferring ideas between physical and stochastic diffusion.

Day of Archaeology 2011

description: This resource is a single blog post created as part of the Day of Archaeology initiative. The Day of Archaeology project aimed to provide a window into the daily lives of archaeologists from all over the world. The project asked people working, studying or volunteering in the archaeological world to participate in a 'Day of Archaeology' each year by recording their day and sharing it through text, images or video on the Day of Archaeology blog.
The project asked anyone with a personal, professional or voluntary interest in archaeology to get involved, and help highlight the reasons why archaeology is vital to protect the past and inform our futures. The resulting Day of Archaeology project archive demonstrates the wide variety of work the archaeological profession undertakes day-to-day across the globe, and helps to raise public awareness of the relevance and importance of archaeology to the modern world.
The first ever Day of Archaeology was held in 2011 and, since then, the project had thousands of archaeologists take part in the event, from those working in the field through to specialists working in laboratories and behind computers. The last Day of Archaeology was on Friday 28th July 2017.

High-Performance Cloud Computing: A View of Scientific Applications

description: Scientific computing often requires the availability of a massive number of computers for performing large scale experiments. Traditionally, these needs have been addressed by using high-performance computing solutions and installed facilities such as clusters and super computers, which are difficult to setup, maintain, and operate. Cloud computing provides scientists with a completely new model of utilizing the computing infrastructure. Compute resources, storage resources, as well as applications, can be dynamically provisioned (and integrated within the existing infrastructure) on a pay per use basis. These resources can be released when they are no more needed. Such services are often offered within the context of a Service Level Agreement (SLA), which ensure the desired Quality of Service (QoS). Aneka, an enterprise Cloud computing solution, harnesses the power of compute resources by relying on private and public Clouds and delivers to users the desired QoS. Its flexible and service based infrastructure supports multiple programming paradigms that make Aneka address a variety of different scenarios: from finance applications to computational science. As examples of scientific computing in the Cloud, we present a preliminary case study on using Aneka for the classification of gene expression data and the execution of fMRI brain imaging workflow.

Green-function method in the theory of ultraslow electromagnetic waves in an ideal gas with Bose-Einstein condensates

description: We propose a microscopic approach describing the interaction of an ideal gas of hydrogenlike atoms with a weak electromagnetic field. This approach is based on the Green-function formalism and an approximate formulation of the method of second quantization for quantum many-particle systems in the presence of bound states of particles. The dependencies of the propagation velocity and damping rate of electromagnetic pulses on the microscopic characteristics of the system are studied for a gas of hydrogenlike atoms. For a Bose-Einstein condensate of alkali-metal atoms we find the conditions when the electromagnetic waves of both the optical and microwave regions are slowed. In the framework of the proposed approach, the influence of an external homogeneous and static magnetic field on the slowing phenomenon is studied.

Andre Jolivet's Chant de Linos : spiritual dimensions and performance perspectives
Creators: name: Badcock, AB
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: The aim of this exegesis is to provide a deeper understanding of Andre Jolivet' s intentions for the interpretation and performance of Chant de Linos for flute and piano. My hypothesis is that a well-informed perspective of the spirituality and means of expression surrounding Jolivet's Chant de Linos is crucial for effective performance of the work. This exegesis covers many angles of Jolivet's Chant de Linos, including a brief background on Jolivet's life as a composer and ideals and aesthetics with which his music was associated. I will also discuss the story behind Chant de Linos, identifying how one should approach the musical expression of this story. Complementing my performance requirements for the Bachelor of Music with Honours course, this exegesis will discuss my personal practice and performance perspectives of the work, with the acknowledgement of other's in the field, providing in document form what other flautists have presented through recorded sound. The principle aim of this exegesis is to assist other flautists to grasp not only the story but also the performance issues involved within this great hallmark work for flute.
Experimental synchronization of circuit oscillations induced by common telegraph noise

Subjects: subject: Adaptation and Self-Organizing Systems (nlin.AO)

description: Experimental realization and quantitative investigation of common-noise-induced synchronization of limit-cycle oscillations subject to random telegraph signals are performed using an electronic oscillator circuit. Based on our previous formulation [K. Nagai et al., Phys. Rev. E 71, 036217 (2005)], dynamics of the circuit is described as random-phase mappings between two limit cycles. Lyapunov exponents characterizing the degree of synchronization are estimated from experimentally determined phase maps and compared with linear damping rates of phase differences measured directly. Noisy on-off intermittency of the phase difference as predicted by the theory is also confirmed experimentally.
