description: The behaviors of various confidence/credible interval constructions are explored, particularly in the region of low statistics where methods diverge most. We highlight a number of challenges, such as the treatment of nuisance parameters, and common misconceptions associated with such constructions. An informal survey of the literature suggests that confidence intervals are not always defined in relevant ways and are too often misinterpreted and/or misapplied. This can lead to seemingly paradoxical behaviours and flawed comparisons regarding the relevance of experimental results. We therefore conclude that there is a need for a more pragmatic strategy which recognizes that, while it is critical to objectively convey the information content of the data, there is also a strong desire to derive bounds on models and a natural instinct to interpret things this way. Accordingly, we attempt to put aside philosophical biases in favor of a practical view to propose a more transparent and self-consistent approach that better addresses these issues.

description: Ce mémoire aborde la thématique de la participation de tous les enfants dans les pédagogies actives, ainsi que des freins à la mise en place de ces dernières, selon les enseignants qui les pratiquent. Pour ce faire, notre problématique retrace l’origine des pédagogies actives, leurs apports et leurs limites dans notre système scolaire, ainsi que les liens entre ces dernières, l’école inclusive vers laquelle souhaite tendre l’enseignement romand et la participation de l’enfant. Les pédagogies actives sont un concept-clé présenté dans notre cadre théorique, suivi par l’inclusion et l’intégration dans lesquels la participation de l’enfant a une place particulière. La méthodologie utilisée est de type recherche qualitative. Nous avons mené des entretiens semi-directifs avec deux enseignants réguliers et trois enseignants spécialisés pratiquant les pédagogies actives. Les résultats obtenus convergent avec les études de notre problématique et de notre cadre théorique. Ils mettent en exergue des outils et des stratégies similaires afin de favoriser la participation de tous les élèves. Toutefois, certains freins à la mise en place des pédagogies actives évoqués par les enseignants viennent compléter ceux relevés dans notre cadre théorique ; c’est le cas du degré de scolarisation des enfants, du regard des parents et de la pratique de l’évaluation selon les directions.

description: The effect of a varying pseudo-magnetic field, which falls as $1/x^2$, on a two dimensional electron gas in graphene is investigated. By considering the second order Dirac equation, we show that its correct general solution is that which might present singular wavefunctions since such field induced by elastic deformations diverges as $x\rightarrow0$. We show that only this consideration yields the known relativistic Landau levels when we remove such elastic field. We have observed that the zero Landau level fails to develop for certain values of it. We then speculate about the consequences of these facts to the quantum Hall effect on graphene. We also analyze the changes in the relativistic cyclotron frequency. We hope our work being probed in these contexts, since graphene has great potential for electronic applications.

description: Réussir l’inclusion des élèves ayant un trouble du spectre autistique (TSA) dans les classes ordinaires est un des défis actuels auquel nous sommes confrontées en tant qu’enseignantes spécialisées. Le présent travail de mémoire de Master vise à mieux comprendre le point de vue d’adultes ayant reçu un diagnostic de TSA sur leur expérience scolaire en milieu ordinaire. Les cinq participant.e.s interrogé.e.s n’avaient pas connaissance de leur diagnostic et ont été scolarisés dans un contexte de classe ordinaire. Des entretiens semi-dirigés nous ont permis de récolter des données au sujet de six thématiques dominantes : la perception de soi, les relations sociales, le rôle de l’enseignant.e, le curriculum, l’environnement physique et le soutien. Les personnes interrogées se sont impliquées dans cette étude et nous ont également révélé des pistes d’action et de réflexion que nous avons agrémentées de nos propositions afin de favoriser une expérience scolaire positive pour les élèves avec un diagnostic de TSA.
VAFB-1988-16: Archaeological Investigations at SBa-594: Survey, Testing, and Mitigation
Creators: name: Carbone, Larry A.
Year: 1988

description: Before testing and mitigation fieldwork was undertaken at CA-SBA-594 during Phase II of the Peacekeeper Rail Garrison program, it was noted that surface artifact distributions differed from those reported in previous survey and site record forms from 1979. This discrepancy no doubt came about from shifting dune activity exposing alternate areas of site materials through time. As well as distributional variance, surface frequencies appeared higher than initially reported at Locus I adjacent and west of existing El Rancho Oeste Road, and two new Loci (II&III) were visible on the east side of El Rancho Oeste Road just north and south of Wetland 36. It is noteworthy, considering prehistoric occupation logistics, that contrary to observations ten years previously, no pond was visible in the wetland swale.

description: Dans le contexte actuel, l’école obligatoire s’inscrit dans une visée inclusive. Elle vise la prise en compte de la diversité et des besoins de l'ensemble des élèves. Le modèle de réponse à l’intervention a pour objectif de faire progresser l’ensemble des élèves en regard des apprentissages visés, et permet ainsi d’entrer dans une démarche inclusive. Afin de vérifier l’efficacité de ce modèle, un dispositif basé sur l’enseignement explicite des stratégies de compréhension en lecture a été mis en place dans une classe de 6ème Harmos. Une intervention ciblée a été réalisée auprès des élèves identifiés comme étant en difficulté en petit groupe ou en individuel. L’intervention ciblée consiste à fournir un étayage supplémentaire, une nouvelle modélisation de la stratégie visée, ou de leur proposer de travailler une stratégie au niveau de la phrase dans des tâches spécifiques avant de revenir au texte. Cela dans le but de permettre à ces élèves de mieux intégrer les stratégies. Une première évaluation en classe a permis de cibler les élèves en difficulté et les stratégies prioritaires à travailler durant ce dispositif. Une deuxième évaluation a été réalisée à la fin du dispositif afin de quantifier les performances des élèves. Un entretien avec ces élèves en difficulté a été effectué à la suite de ces évaluations afin d’analyser les résultats de manière qualitative en identifiant la maîtrise des stratégies utilisées. Les résultats de cette recherche montrent une progression des performances de l’ensemble de la classe. On observe également que les élèves en difficulté ont mieux progressé que ceux n’ayant pas eu d’intervention ciblée, et ont atteint des scores proches des autres élèves. Les résultats obtenus permettent de vérifier l’efficacité du modèle de réponse à l’intervention, soulevant l’utilité d’instaurer des dispositifs similaires au sein des classes ordinaires.

description: The ISO/IEC 39794 series of standards specifies new, extensible biometric data interchange formats based on ASN.1 (Abstract Syntax Notation One), yielding binary tag-length-value encodings. According to ICAO’s timeline, from 2026 onwards, newly issued electronic passports (ePassports) may use the new data formats, and ePassport inspection systems must be able to handle them. From 2030, all newly issued ePassports must use the extensible formats. Before roll-out, the new types of ePassports and inspection systems must be systematically tested. This paper discusses requirements for tools and data for tests regarding the new face image data interchange format.

On the Local and Global Approaches to Quantum Transport and Violation of the Second-law of Thermodynamics

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Clausius' statement of the second law of thermodynamics reads: Heat will flow spontaneously from a hot to cold reservoir. This statement should hold for transport of energy through a quantum network composed of small subsystems each coupled to a heat reservoir. When the coupling between nodes is small, it seems reasonable to construct a local master equation for each node in contact with the local reservoir. The energy transport through the network is evaluated by calculating the energy flux after the individual nodes are coupled. We show by analysing the most simple network composed of two quantum nodes coupled to a hot and cold reservoir, that the local description can result in heat flowing from cold to hot reservoirs, even in the limit of vanishing coupling between the nodes. A global derivation of the master equation which prediagonalizes the total network Hamiltonian, and within this framework derives the master equation, is always consistent with the second-law of thermodynamics.

description: We revisit the Bayesian Context Trees (BCT) modelling framework for discrete time series, which was recently found to be very effective in numerous tasks including model selection, estimation and prediction. A novel representation of the induced posterior distribution on model space is derived in terms of a simple branching process, and several consequences of this are explored in theory and in practice. First, it is shown that the branching process representation leads to a simple variable-dimensional Monte Carlo sampler for the joint posterior distribution on models and parameters, which can efficiently produce independent samples. This sampler is found to be more efficient than earlier MCMC samplers for the same tasks. Then, the branching process representation is used to establish the asymptotic consistency of the BCT posterior, including the derivation of an almost-sure convergence rate. Finally, an extensive study is carried out on the performance of the induced Bayesian entropy estimator. Its utility is illustrated through both simulation experiments and real-world applications, where it is found to outperform several state-of-the-art methods.

Chaque enseignant a une conception propre liée à ce terme mais qu’en est-il des différences de conception de ce terme entre des enseignants qu’ils soient ordinaires ou spécialisés ? Comment les élèves perçoivent-ils ce terme qu’ils soient en classe ordinaire ou en classe spécialisée ? Tous ces questionnements, nous ont permis de préciser nos questions de recherches. Celles-ci concernent la conception et les attentes du métier d’élève à besoins éducatifs particuliers pour les enseignants spécialisés et ordinaires. Ainsi que la conception du rôle du métier d’élève pour les élèves à besoins éducatifs particuliers. Dans ces questions de recherche, le terme métier d’élève est utilisé. Toutefois, à la suite de nos recherches, nous nous sommes rendu compte de la multitude de termes pouvant s’y référer. Nous nous sommes intéressées à l’utilisation et la conception de ces termes en lien avec le métier d’élève. L’objectif de ce travail de mémoire est de comprendre la conception du métier d’élève du point de vue des enseignants ordinaires et spécialisés ainsi que des élèves à besoins éducatifs particuliers en classes ordinaires et en classes de langage. Pour ce faire, nous avons mené des entretiens semi-directifs avec nos sujets. Suite à ces entrevues, nous avons pu procéder à une analyse thématique. Les résultats obtenus mettent en évidences les points de jonctions et de divergences entre nos différents sujets concernant la conception du métier d’élève.

description: In the present work we derive an exact solution of an isotropic and homogeneous Universe governed by $f(T)$ gravity. We show how the torsion contribution to the FRW cosmology can provide a \textit{unique} origin for both early and late acceleration phases of the Universe. The three models ($k=0, \pm 1$) show a \textit{built-in} inflationary behavior at some early Universe time; they restore suitable conditions for the hot big bang nucleosynthesis to begin. Unlike the standard cosmology, we show that even if the Universe initially started with positive or negative sectional curvatures, the curvature density parameter enforces evolution to a flat Universe. The solution constrains the torsion scalar $T$ to be a constant function at all time $t$, for the three models. This eliminates the need for the dark energy (DE). Moreover, when the continuity equation is assumed for the torsion fluid, we show that the flat and closed Universe models \textit{violate} the conservation principle, while the open one does not. The evolution of the effective equation of state (EoS) of the torsion fluid implies a peculiar trace from a quintessence-like DE to a phantom-like one crossing a matter and radiation EoS in between; then it asymptotically approaches a de Sitter fate.

description: Automating the research for the best neural network model is a task that has gained more and more relevance in the last few years. In this context, Neural Architecture Search (NAS) represents the most effective technique whose results rival the state of the art hand-crafted architectures. However, this approach requires a lot of computational capabilities as well as research time, which makes prohibitive its usage in many real-world scenarios. With its sequential model-based optimization strategy, Progressive Neural Architecture Search (PNAS) represents a possible step forward to face this resources issue. Despite the quality of the found network architectures, this technique is still limited in research time. A significant step in this direction has been done by Pareto-Optimal Progressive Neural Architecture Search (POPNAS), which expands PNAS with a time predictor to enable a trade-off between search time and accuracy, considering a multi-objective optimization problem. This paper proposes a new version of the Pareto-Optimal Progressive Neural Architecture Search, called POPNASv2. Our approach enhances its first version and improves its performance. We expanded the search space by adding new operators and improved the quality of both predictors to build more accurate Pareto fronts. Moreover, we introduced cell equivalence checks and enriched the search strategy with an adaptive greedy exploration step. Our efforts allow POPNASv2 to achieve PNAS-like performance with an average 4x factor search time speed-up.

Anomalous quartic $ZZγγ$ couplings at the CLIC

description: We study the sensitivity to anomalous quartic $ZZγγ$ couplings through the processes $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow Z\, Z\, γ$, $e^{+}e^{-} \rightarrow e^{+}γ^{*} e^{-} \rightarrow e^{+} Z\, Z\, e^{-}$ and $e^{+}e^{-} \rightarrow e^{+}γ^{*} γ^{*} e^{-} \rightarrow e^{+}\, Z\, Z\, e^{-}$ at the CLIC. We find $95\%$ confidence level bounds on these coupling parameters defining by the dimension-six operators. The best bounds on the anomalous $ZZγγ$ couplings among the three processes are obtained from $e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow Z\, Z\, γ$ at a center of mass energy of $3$ TeV and an integrated luminosity of $590$ fb$^{-1}$. We show that the best bounds obtained on both the anomalous coupling parameters are of the order of $10^{-8}$ GeV$^{-2}$, significantly improving the current bounds.

description: Graph contrastive learning (GCL) has emerged as a dominant technique for graph representation learning which maximizes the mutual information between paired graph augmentations that share the same semantics. Unfortunately, it is difficult to preserve semantics well during augmentations in view of the diverse nature of graph data. Currently, data augmentations in GCL that are designed to preserve semantics broadly fall into three unsatisfactory ways. First, the augmentations can be manually picked per dataset by trial-and-errors. Second, the augmentations can be selected via cumbersome search. Third, the augmentations can be obtained by introducing expensive domain-specific knowledge as guidance. All of these limit the efficiency and more general applicability of existing GCL methods. To circumvent these crucial issues, we propose a \underline{Sim}ple framework for \underline{GRA}ph \underline{C}ontrastive l\underline{E}arning, \textbf{SimGRACE} for brevity, which does not require data augmentations. Specifically, we take original graph as input and GNN model with its perturbed version as two encoders to obtain two correlated views for contrast. SimGRACE is inspired by the observation that graph data can preserve their semantics well during encoder perturbations while not requiring manual trial-and-errors, cumbersome search or expensive domain knowledge for augmentations selection. Also, we explain why SimGRACE can succeed. Furthermore, we devise adversarial training scheme, dubbed \textbf{AT-SimGRACE}, to enhance the robustness of graph contrastive learning and theoretically explain the reasons. Albeit simple, we show that SimGRACE can yield competitive or better performance compared with state-of-the-art methods in terms of generalizability, transferability and robustness, while enjoying unprecedented degree of flexibility and efficiency.

description: Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a field and let $G\subset \mathbb{F}\setminus \{0\}$ be a multiplicative subgroup. We consider the category $\mathcal{Cob}_G$ of $3$-dimensional cobordisms equipped with a representation of their fundamental group in $G$, and the category ${Vect}_{\mathbb{F},\pm G}$ of $\mathbb{F}$-linear maps defined up to multiplication by an element of $\pm G$. Using the elementary theory of Reidemeister torsions, we construct a "Reidemeister functor" from $Cob_G$ to ${Vect}_{\mathbb{F},\pm G}$. In particular, when the group $G$ is free abelian and $\mathbb{F}$ is the field of fractions of the group ring $\mathbb{Z}[G]$, we obtain a functorial formulation of an Alexander-type invariant introduced by Lescop for $3$-manifolds with boundary; when $G$ is trivial, the Reidemeister functor specializes to the TQFT developed by Frohman and Nicas to enclose the Alexander polynomial of knots. The study of the Reidemeister functor is carried out for any multiplicative subgroup $G\subset \mathbb{F}\setminus \{0\}$. We obtain a duality result and we show that the resulting projective representation of the monoid of homology cobordisms is equivalent to the Magnus representation combined with the relative Reidemeister torsion.

Time-Reversal Invariant Parafermions in Interacting Rashba Nanowires

description: We propose a scheme to generate pairs of time-reversal invariant parafermions. Our setup consists of two quantum wires with opposite Rashba spin orbit interactions coupled to an $s$-wave superconductor, in the presence of electron-electron interactions. The zero-energy bound states localized at the wire ends arise from the interplay between two types of proximity induced superconductivity: the usual intrawire superconductivity and the interwire superconductivity due to crossed Andreev reflections. If the latter dominates, which is the case for strong electron-electron interactions, the system supports Kramers pair of parafermions. Moreover, the scheme can be extended to a two-dimensional sea of time-reversal invariant parafermions.

description: Clinical adoption of personalized virtual heart simulations faces challenges in model personalization and expensive computation. While an ideal solution is an efficient neural surrogate that at the same time is personalized to an individual subject, the state-of-the-art is either concerned with personalizing an expensive simulation model, or learning an efficient yet generic surrogate. This paper presents a completely new concept to achieve personalized neural surrogates in a single coherent framework of meta-learning (metaPNS). Instead of learning a single neural surrogate, we pursue the process of learning a personalized neural surrogate using a small amount of context data from a subject, in a novel formulation of few-shot generative modeling underpinned by: 1) a set-conditioned neural surrogate for cardiac simulation that, conditioned on subject-specific context data, learns to generate query simulations not included in the context set, and 2) a meta-model of amortized variational inference that learns to condition the neural surrogate via simple feed-forward embedding of context data. As test time, metaPNS delivers a personalized neural surrogate by fast feed-forward embedding of a small and flexible number of data available from an individual, achieving -- for the first time -- personalization and surrogate construction for expensive simulations in one end-to-end learning framework. Synthetic and real-data experiments demonstrated that metaPNS was able to improve personalization and predictive accuracy in comparison to conventionally-optimized cardiac simulation models, at a fraction of computation.

description: Biosynthesis of sulfated saccharides that are linked to asparagine residues in the cell surface glycoprotein of Halobacterium halobium via a glucose residue involves sulfated dolichyl-monophosphoryl oligosaccharide intermediates (Lechner, J., Wieland, F., and Sumper, M. (1985) J. Biol. Chem. 260, 860-866). During isolation and characterization of these lipid oligosaccharides we detected a group of related compounds containing additional unidentified sugar residues. Here we report that: 1) the unknown sugar residues were 3-O-methylglucose, linked peripherally to the lipid-saccharide intermediates; 2) the 3-O-methylglucose residues in the oligosaccharides occur only at the lipid-linked level but are absent at the protein-linked level; 3) cell surface glycoprotein biosynthesis in Halobacteria in vivo is drastically depressed when S-adenosylmethionine-dependent methylation is inhibited, indicating that methylation is an obligatory step during glycoprotein synthesis. We propose a mechanism for the transport of lipid oligosaccharides through the cell membrane, involving an intermediate stage in which the saccharide moieties are transiently modified with 3-O-methylglucose.

description: Under contract with the United States Bureau of Reclamation, the Office of Cultural Resource Management (OCRM), Department of Anthropology, Arizona State University conducted an archaeological survey of a borrow area along Reach 5 of the Granite Reef Aqueduct. The objectives of this survey were to 1) locate and record any archaeological remains within the project boundaries; 2) characterize and evaluate those remains in order to place them within a regional context; and 3) recommend further investigation of those sites that would be directly or secondarily impacted by proposed disturbance. Fieldwork required a total 7.5 worker days, and was completed from February 10 and 11, 1976.

This report describes the results of the archaeological survey along Reach 5 of the Granite Reef Aqueduct. The survey identified two sites, both of which were small sherd scatters.
Chiral Symmetry Breaking and Chiral Polarization: Tests for Finite Temperature and Many Flavors

description: It was recently conjectured that, in SU(3) gauge theories with fundamental quarks, valence spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking is equivalent to condensation of local dynamical chirality and appearance of chiral polarization scale $Λ_{ch}$. Here we consider more general association involving the low-energy layer of chirally polarized modes which, in addition to its width ($Λ_{ch}$), is also characterized by volume density of participating modes ($Ω$) and the volume density of total chirality ($Ω_{ch}$). Few possible forms of the correspondence are discussed, paying particular attention to singular cases where $Ω$ emerges as the most versatile characteristic. The notion of finite-volume "order parameter", capturing the nature of these connections, is proposed. We study the effects of temperature (in N$_f$=0 QCD) and light quarks (in N$_f$=12), both in the regime of possible symmetry restoration, and find agreement with these ideas. In N$_f$=0 QCD, results from several volumes indicate that, at the lattice cutoff studied, the deconfinement temperature $T_c$ is strictly smaller than the overlap-valence chiral transition temperature $T_{ch}$ in real Polyakov line vacuum. Somewhat similar intermediate phase (in quark mass) is also seen in N$_f$=12. It is suggested that deconfinement in N$_f$=0 is related to indefinite convexity of absolute X-distributions.
