description: Pruning filters is an effective method for accelerating deep neural networks (DNNs), but most existing approaches prune filters on a pre-trained network directly which limits in acceleration. Although each filter has its own effect in DNNs, but if two filters are the same with each other, we could prune one safely. In this paper, we add an extra cluster loss term in the loss function which can force filters in each cluster to be similar online. After training, we keep one filter in each cluster and prune others and fine-tune the pruned network to compensate for the loss. Particularly, the clusters in every layer can be defined firstly which is effective for pruning DNNs within residual blocks. Extensive experiments on CIFAR10 and CIFAR100 benchmarks demonstrate the competitive performance of our proposed filter pruning method.

Administrative reform advisory committees under military regimes in Thailand

Subjects: subject: Military government
subject: Administrative procedure Thailand
subject: Thailand Politics and government

description: Thailand has experimented several times with democratic government since the advent of a Constitutional Monarchy in 1932. On each occasion democratic civil rule has been terminated by militarists ostensibly impatient with the indecisiveness or instability of the fledgling government and anxious to exert firmer control on the nation's business. In 1958 a junta headed by Field Marshal Sarit Thanarat took power with national development featuring prominently in their declared policy. Maladministration of the Civil Service was seen by Sarit as a barrier to the achievement of development goals; to overcome this problem he took steps toward reform of public administration. As the major instrument for this purpose, advisory committees were established with charters to examine the structure, operation and purposes of the Civil Service and to report on reforms which might be beneficial to the government's targets for national development. This pattern of administrative reform in Thailand has continued as each military regime since Sarit's has appointed similar advisory committees.

description: We report tests of various density functionals for ferromagnetic, Fe, Co and Ni with a focus on characterizing the behavior of the so-called strongly constrained and appropriately normed (SCAN) functional. It is found that SCAN is closer in behavior to functionals that yield localized behavior, such as hybrid functionals, than other semilocal functionals that are tested. The results are understood in terms of a tendency to differentiate orbitals, favoring integer occupation, which is necessary for a correct description of atomic systems, but inappropriate for the open shell metallic ferromagnetic metals studied here.

description: Distributions of strictly positive numbers are common and can be characterized by standard statistical measures such as mean, standard deviation, and skewness. We demonstrate that for these distributions the skewness $D_3$ is bounded from below by a function of the coefficient of variation (CoV) $δ$ as $D_3 \ge δ-1/δ$. The results are extended to any distribution that is bounded with minimum value $x_{\rm min}$ and/or bounded with maximum value $x_{\rm max}$. We build on the results to provide bounds for kurtosis $D_4$, and conjecture analogous bounds exists for higher statistical moments.

description: APTERONOTUS LEPTORHYNCHUS SPECIES- GROUP
 Diagnosis: Species of the A. leptorhynchus speciesgroup can be readily distinguished from the remaining genera of the Apteronotidae and within Apteronotus via the synapomorphies identified above. The speciesgroup is externally recognizable by the stripe of distinctly paler pigmentation running from the chin along the mid-dorsal region of the head and body to the posterodorsal portion of the body, the pale band encircling the base of the caudal fin, the presence of scales on the dorsal portion of the body, and the possession of posterior dentary teeth two times as large as the anterior teeth on that bone.
 Distribution: Species of the A. leptorhynchus speciesgroup occur in the Essequibo River system in Guyana, various portions of the Río Orinoco basin, and two coastal Caribbean drainages of northern Venezuela. Trans-Andean species inhabit various drainages of the Lago Maracaibo basin in north-western Venezuela and north-eastern Colombia, the Caribbean versant Rios Atrato, Cauca, and Magdalena of northern Colombia, and Pacific Ocean drainages in Colombia and Panama.
 Remarks: Albert & Campos-da-Paz (1998) and Albert (2001), followed by de Santana & Cox-Fernandes (2012), proposed a slightly more encompassing assemblage than the A. leptorhynchus species-group of this analysis, which additionally incorporated Apteronotus brasiliensis and which they termed the A. brasiliensis species-group. In so far as the data matrices of the analyses Albert & Campos-da-Paz (1998) and Albert (2001) did not include A. brasiliensis, the basis for that assignment is uncertain. More pertinently, information collected in this study failed to support the placement of A. brasiliensis within the A. leptorhynchus species-group and we consequently did not include it here.

description: The propagation of coherent light in multimode optical fibers results in a speckled output that is both complex and sensitive to environmental effects. These properties can be a powerful tool for sensing, as small perturbations lead to significant changes in the output of the fiber. However, the mechanism to encode spatially resolved sensing information into the speckle pattern and the ability to extract this information is thus far unclear. In this paper, we demonstrate that spatially dependent mode coupling is crucial to achieving spatially resolved measurements. We leverage machine learning to quantitatively extract this spatially resolved sensing information from three fiber types with dramatically different characteristics and demonstrate that the fiber with the highest degree of spatially dependent mode coupling provides the greatest accuracy.

Using a late-time approximation we isolate out a y-part from the full wave function of the 5D Universe. Then we find that the compactness of the fifth dimension y yields a quantized spectrum for the momentum $P_{5}$ along the fifth dimension, and we show that the whole space-part of the wave function of the 5D Universe satisfies a two-dimensional Schrödinger equation.

Influence of clamp-widening on the quality factor of nanomechanical silicon nitride resonators

description: Nanomechanical resonators based on strained silicon nitride (Si$_3$N$_4$) have received a large amount of attention in fields such as sensing and quantum optomechanics due to their exceptionally high quality factors ($Q$s). Room-temperature $Q$s approaching 1 billion are now in reach by means of phononic crystals (soft-clamping) and strain engineering. Despite great progress in enhancing $Q$s, difficulties in fabrication of soft-clamped samples limits their implementation into actual devices. An alternative means of achieving ultra-high $Q$s was shown using trampoline resonators with engineered clamps, which serves to localize the stress to the center of the resonator, while minimizing stress at the clamping. The effectiveness of this approach has since come into question from recent studies employing string resonators with clamp-tapering. Here, we investigate this idea using nanomechanical string resonators with engineered clampings similar to those presented for trampolines. Importantly, the effect of orienting the strings diagonally or perpendicularly with respect to the silicon frame is investigated. It is found that increasing the clamp width for diagonal strings slightly increases the $Q$s of the fundamental out-of-plane mode at small radii, while perpendicular strings only deteriorate with increasing clamp width. Measured $Q$s agree well with finite element method simulations even for higher-order resonances. The small increase cannot account for previously reported $Q$s of trampoline resonators. Instead, we propose the effect to be intrinsic and related to surface and radiation losses.

description: The long-time dynamics of the $d$-dimensional spherical model with a non-conserved order parameter and quenched from an initial state with long-range correlations is studied through the exact calculation of the two-time autocorrelation and autoresponse functions. In the aging regime, these are given in terms of non-trivial universal scaling functions of both time variables. At criticality, five distinct types of aging are found, depending on the form of the initial correlations, while at low temperatures only a single type of aging exists. The autocorrelation and autoreponse exponents are shown to be generically different and to depend on the initial conditions. The scaling form of the two-time response functions agrees with a recent prediction coming from local scale invariance.

The heart of the pearl-shell : the mythological dimension of Foi sociality

Subjects: subject: Mythology, Papuan

description: The goal of this thesis is a symbolic analysis of Foi sociality and mythology. The major organizing principles of such sociality are the two analogous concepts of intersexual and affinal mediation. An analysis of a representative sample of Foi myths reveals them as creative depictions of the paradoxes surrounding these two principles. The analytical framework employed centres around the concept of symbolic obviation which locates the creation of cultural meaning in the dialectical relationship between collective (or conventional) and individual (or particularizing) symbolization, or between semantic and metaphorical signification. The basis of symbolic obviation is the substitution of contrasting semantic elements within given symbolic environments or contexts. Various Foi practices such as magic, mourning songs, and name- transmission are analyzed as more basic examples of symbolic substitution or investment. Their relationship to similar processes of symbolic contrast in social process and mythology is then explored. The analyst's distinction between conventional and individuating symbolic usages translates as what the Foi perceive as an innate and ceaseless flow of vital energies and relationships and an opposed realm of human action which has as its purpose to channel and re-direct such forces for moral purposes. Thus, the concepts of intersexual and affinal mediation have as their normative expression a set of rules pertaining to the separation and contrast of social and sexual categories. The mythology of the Foi in general terms concerns the imaginary implications of the conflation of such categories.

description: This paper introduces an approach that enhances the state estimator for high-speed autonomous race cars, addressing challenges from unreliable measurements, localization failures, and computing resource management. The proposed robust localization system utilizes a Bayesian-based probabilistic approach to evaluate multimodal measurements, ensuring the use of credible data for accurate and reliable localization, even in harsh racing conditions. To tackle potential localization failures, we present a resilient navigation system which enables the race car to continue track-following by leveraging direct perception information in planning and execution, ensuring continuous performance despite localization disruptions. In addition, efficient computing is critical to avoid overload and system failure. Hence, we optimize computing resources using an efficient LiDAR-based state estimation method. Leveraging CUDA programming and GPU acceleration, we perform nearest points search and covariance computation efficiently, overcoming CPU bottlenecks. Simulation and real-world tests validate the system's performance and resilience. The proposed approach successfully recovers from failures, effectively preventing accidents and ensuring safety of the car.

The impact of staff ceilings on the Australian Public Service
Creators: name: Latif, Abdul
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1983
Subjects: subject: Civil service Australia

description: Staff ceilings have played a central role in regulating the size of the Australian Public Service since 1971. They have been in force throughout 1971-83 apart from two short periods: December 1972-June 1973 and January 1975-June 1975. Prime Minister Gorton imposed staff ceilings in February 1971 to limit the growth of the Public Service. The immediate reason was to curtail the public sector spending to curb inflation. Since then, successive governments, including the Whitlam-Labor Government, have applied staff ceilings as the principal measure to limit the Public Service growth. Judging from its influence on the management of human resources in the public sector and the consequential developments which have taken place in the Service, the introduction of staff ceilings can be viewed as one of the most significant administrative developments in the Australian Public Service in recent time. Staff ceilings have not only affected the growth of the Public Service but have also influenced its entire range of activities and operations. The administrators have been forced to think in terms of introducing organisational changes in the face of declining human resources. The rearrangement of priorities has taken place, although mainly as a consequence of pressure rather than of explicit decision. Competition amongst the public sector managers for sharing the limited resources has forced them to think of new management strategies. From the political standpoint, the staff ceilings have been used to satisfy an electorate which has increasingly become critical of the bureaucratic growth in recent years as a result of higher and higher tax burden, rising inflation and increased bureaucratic intervention and 'intrusion* in their lives. The Whitlam Labor Government used staff ceilings as a measure to curtail public sector expenditure to contain inflation whereas the L-NCP coalition Government since 1975 have used staff ceilings as an important tool to reduce the size of the public sector in line with their philosophy of 'small government'. Although the Australian Labor Party consistently criticised the imposition of staff ceilings in the way they have been applied in the Service by the Fraser Government throughout 1975-83 period, the Hawke-Labor Government has not abandoned them. They also see some virtue to control an 'ever-growing government bureaucracy'. All these factors provided a positive motivation to undertake the present study.
Path integral measure in Regge calculus from the functional Fourier transform

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The problem of fixing measure in the path integral for the Regge-discretised gravity is considered from the viewpoint of it's "best approximation" to the already known formal continuum general relativity (GR) measure. A rigorous formulation may consist in comparing functional Fourier transforms of the measures, i.e. characteristic or generating functionals, and requiring these to coincide on some dense set in the functional space. The possibility for such set to exist is due to the Regge manifold being a particular case of general Riemannian one (Regge calculus is a minisuperspace theory). The two versions of the measure are obtained depending on what metric tensor, covariant or contravariant one, is taken as fundamental field variable. The closed expressions for the measure are obtained in the two simple cases of Regge manifold. These turn out to be quite reasonable one of them indicating that appropriately defined continuum limit of the Regge measure would reproduce the original continuum GR measure.

description: The Commonwealth Constitution was enacted as section 9 of the Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act, an Act of the Imperial Parliament. The problems of the Commonwealth Constitution are therefore, problems of statutory interpretation and application. The Constitution is of course an unusual statute. It is expressed in general and imprecise language, it is difficult to amend and it has as its subject matter, the division of governmental power within Australia.

description: Response of an interferometer becomes complicated for gravitational wave shorter than the arm-length of the detector, as nature of wave appears strongly. We have studied how parameter estimation for merging massive black hole binaries are affected by this complicated effect in the case of LISA. It is shown that three dimensional positions of some binaries might be determined much better than the past estimations that use the long wave approximation. For equal mass binaries this improvement is most prominent at $\sim 10^5\sol$.

Subjects: subject: Iran Hostage Crisis, 1979-1981

description: The takeover of the American embassy in Teheran by militant students on November 4, 1979 precipitated an international crisis involving the United States, Iran, and a host of other nations. Ultimately, pressures connected with the crisis led President Carter to authorize a military mission which at tempted to rescue the hostages on April 24, 1980. This thesis will at tempt to examine those pressures and to evaluate the way in which they influenced Carter's momentous decision.

description: The continuously increasing degree of automation in many areas (e.g. manufacturing engineering, public infrastructure) lead to the construction of cyber-physical systems and cyber-physical networks. To both, time and energy are the most critical operating resources. Considering for instance the Tactile Internet specification, end-to-end latencies in these systems must be below 1ms, which means that both communication and system latencies are in the same order of magnitude and must be predictably low. As control loops are commonly handled over different variants of network infrastructure (e.g. mobile and fibre links) particular attention must be payed to the design of reliable, yet fast and energy-efficient data-transmission channels that are robust towards unexpected transmission failures. As design goals are often conflicting (e.g. high performance vs. low energy), it is necessary to analyze and investigate trade-offs with regards to design decisions during the construction of cyber-physical networks. In this paper, we present $Δ$elta, an approach towards a tool-supported construction process for cyber-physical networks. $Δ$elta extends the previously presented X-Lap tool by new analysis features, but keeps the original measurements facilities unchanged. $Δ$elta jointly analyzes and correlates the runtime behavior (i.e. performance, latency) and energy demand of individual system components. It provides an automated analysis with precise thread-local time interpolation, control-flow extraction, and examination of latency criticality. We further demonstrate the applicability of $Δ$elta with an evaluation of a prototypical implementation.

Monetary approach to balance of payments : a case of Fiji

Subjects: subject: Balance of payments Fiji
subject: Demand for money Fiji

description: Economists and policymakers have been increasingly preoccupied with the problems of inflation and balance of payments disequilibria since the early 1950s. Their preoccupation has led to new approaches to monetary analysis. In this period, a gradual evolution of a third major approach called the monetary approach to the balance of payments took place; the two best-known earlier approaches are the elasticity (neoclassical) approach and the income absorption (neo -Keynesian) approach. Each of the three approaches, as often pointed out could in principle produce the right answers if it were correctly applied. However, for applied research and background work for policy discussion on balance of payments problems. the monetary approach suggests itself as simpler and more manageable than the other approaches. It is based on the postulates of a stable demand function for money and of a stable process through which the money supply is generated. By focussing directly on the relevant monetary aggregates, this approach eliminates the intractable problems associated with the estimation of numerous elasticities of international transactions and of the parameters describing their interdependence, which are inherent in other approaches. This study therefore is concerned with testing the relevance of the monetary approach to the balance of payments problems in Fiji. It involves finding a stable demand for money function and then using it to estimate the desired demand for money in Fiji for the period of the study (1961 - 1984) . The analysis system developed, uses changes in desired demand for money and changes in domestic credit. If an increase ill desired demand for money is greater than an increase in domestic credit . then it is expected that there would be a positive change in international reserves, and if, on the other hand, changes in domestic credit is greater than changes in desired demand for money then a negative change in international reserves would be expected.

description: A quantum computer with low-error, high-speed quantum operations and capability for interconnections is required for useful quantum computations. A logical qubit called Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) qubit in a single Bosonic harmonic oscillator is efficient for mitigating errors in a quantum computer. The particularly intriguing prospect of GKP qubits is that entangling gates as well as syndrome measurements for quantum error correction only require efficient, noise-robust linear operations. To date, however, GKP qubits have been only demonstrated at mechanical and microwave frequency in a highly nonlinear physical system. The physical platform that naturally provides the scalable linear toolbox is optics, including near-ideal loss-free beam splitters and near-unit efficiency homodyne detectors that allow to obtain the complete analog syndrome for optimized quantum error correction. Additional optical linear amplifiers and specifically designed GKP qubit states are then all that is needed for universal quantum computing. In this work, we realize a GKP state in propagating light at the telecommunication wavelength and demonstrate homodyne meausurements on the GKP states for the first time without any loss corrections. Our GKP states do not only show non-classicality and non-Gaussianity at room temperature and atmospheric pressure, but unlike the existing schemes with stationary qubits, they are realizable in a propagating wave system. This property permits large-scale quantum computation and interconnections, with strong compatibility to optical fibers and 5G telecommunication technology.

description: Traditionally, the twisted inverse image pseudo-functor of Grothendieck duality (−)! is defined by means of compactification on a class of morphisms between noetherian schemes. Recently, Iyengar, Lipman, and Neeman introduced a formula for this pseudo- functor which works for flat, separated, essentially of finite-type morphisms between noetherian schemes. This formula raised some important questions. Not only it is not well understood why the formula is free of compactification but the process of how this formula satisfies all the standard properties of (−)! is also unclear. Another important question is whether this new formula can be expanded outside the class of flat, separated, essentially of finite-type morphisms between noetherian schemes. In this thesis, we talk about the motivations behind the two twisted inverse image pseudo-functors of Grothendieck duality (−)× and (−)!. We also recall the sufficient conditions and properties of these pseudo-functors. These properties are presented as the existence of some morphisms and compatibility diagrams satisfied by these mor- phisms. Then we discuss the surprising compactification-free formula of the pseudo- functor on the subclass of flat morphisms. A simplified proof that this formula is isomorphic to (−)! is also given. This recently discovered formula satisfies the properties of (−)! defined classically. As in the classical definition, the properties of this formula will also be presented via the existence of some morphisms and some compatibility diagrams. Extracting the essential information from the proofs, especially regarding the flat base change morphism, we discuss how understanding these proofs may enable us to generalize this Grothendieck Duality formula for flat morphisms to non-noetherian schemes

description: The Caribbean has been variously and always arbitrarily defined. There are, however, three conceptions that are widely accepted by writers, commentators, and foreign policy specialists: the insular Caribbean, which includes the English-speaking islands in the Caribbean archipelago; the Caribbean archipelago which encompasses all the islands in the Caribbean Sea plus the mainland extensions of Guyana, Suriname, and Cayenne on the South American mainland, and Belize on the Central American mainland; and the Caribbean Basin, which consists of the countries of the Caribbean archipelago plus the littoral nations of Central and South America. 1 From the outset, then, it is necessary to establish a conception that will be adopted for this analysis. By the Caribbean I mean those twelve countries in the Caribbean archipelago that are commonly referred to as the English-speaking Caribbean, or the Caribbean Commonwealth countries:- Jamaica, Barbados, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago; the four Windward Islands of Dominica, St Lucia, Grenada, St Vincent and the Grenadines; the Leeward Islands of Montserrat, Antigua and Barbuda, St Kitts and Nevis; and Belize in Central America.
