description: Recent developments surrounding resource theories have shown that any quantum state or measurement resource, with respect to a convex (and compact) set of resourceless objects, provides an advantage in a tailored subchannel or state discrimination task, respectively. Here we show that an analogous, more general result is also true in the case of dynamical quantum resources, i.e., channels and instruments. In the scenario we consider, the tasks associated to a resource are input-output games. The advantage a resource provides in these games is naturally quantified by a generalized robustness measure. We illustrate our approach by applying it to a broad collection of examples, including classical and measure-and-prepare channels, measurement and channel incompatibility, LOCC operations, and steering, as well as discussing its applicability to other resources in, e.g., quantum thermodynamics. We finish by showing that our approach generalizes to higher-order dynamics where it can be used, for example, to witness causal properties of supermaps.

title: How do Representations of Animal - Human Relationships in Contemporary Art Signify Current Crises?

description: My studio-­‐based research consists of a cross-­disciplinary body of work and textual analysis. The research focuses upon concepts associated with animal-­human relationships in a contemporary art context and how these have implied a range of current crises occurring on a global scale. This exegesis begins by outlining how animals have been perceived in both historical and cultural contexts. I begin by examining the ways in which animals and our relationship with them have been perceived in the areas of psychoanalysis, with particular attention to the theories of Sigmund Freud and Carl Jung and their research into the subconscious, unconscious and instinctual drives connected with the animal. I also consider the parallels between anthropology and psychoanalysis and the significance of post-colonial research to these disciplines. I explore how the psychoanalytical theories of Freud and Jung influenced the work of the Surrealists, resulting in much of their experimentation and depictions of animal-human relationships from the 1930s onwards. I also discuss a number of Surrealist artworks, demonstrating how the psychological has been historically connected to representations of animals as well as their interest in non-Western cultures and art forms.

 This group contains two species: one (L. rectangulus LeConte) is known from Florida, Bahamas (CNC), Grand Cayman Island and from the east coast of southern Mexico (Allen and Ball 1980:504); the second (L. elongatus Allen) is restricted to southern Mexico (Allen and Ball 1980:502). Based on Allen’s (1972:165) phylogeny, L. nocticolor Darlington of Cuba could be closely related to these two species.

Rights and Obligations of New Entrants into the Southern Bluefin Tuna and Other International Fisheries

description: This thesis analyses the legal issues arising when a fully exploited or overexploited international fishery cannot, because a significant part of the fishing takes place on the high seas where there is a customary and conventional right of all States for their national to fish on the high seas, readily be closed to new entrants. If the complete collapse of the fishery predicted by the economics literature (and in many instances borne out by real-world examples) is not to ensue, some way must be found of circumventing this problem of open access. Drawing largely on the documented history of the interactions among the States (and Taiwan) involved in the southern bluefin tuna (SBT) fishery, supplemented where relevant by reports of meetings of treaty-based commissions managing other international fisheries, the thesis traces, and attempts to explain, the development of a property-rights mentality among existing participants in the fisheries implicit in the arguments they employ to minimise newcomers’ catch or keep them out altogether. Though at odds with the formal rule, to which they nonetheless continue to appear attached, some accommodation of the property concept will be needed if the recovery of the stocks to the biomass that generates the maximum sustainable yield is ever to take place. At present the participants in the SBT and other depleted international fisheries have insufficient incentive to insist on the catch reductions necessary to permit this recovery and thereby, it is argued, are collectively in breach of their obligations to all other States that are potential new entrants. Among the possible solutions explored are the development of trading in fishery commission quotas – these, as shown by an analysis from first principles, are negative obligations (for catch not to exceed given limits) and thus lack the positive characteristics of truly tradable assets, but, as also demonstrated, they can even so be made to fulfil asset-like functions if the commission as a whole is willing. The well developed system of accounting for catch that any worthwhile trading mechanism would require in turn gives rise to the conclusion that this, in the form of State responsibility – in terms of both attribution of fishing activities on the high seas to the flag State and the secondary obligation to wipe out the consequences of breach of a primary obligation that occurs when limits are exceeded – has hitherto been a neglected area of international fisheries law that invites further research. Meanwhile, the paradoxical result is that the freedom to fish is not just the source of the overfishing problem but potentially also a necessary part of its solution, in that a small number of new entrants may be the only ones with a sufficient economic interest to enforce the obligation to permit the stocks’ recovery.

description: A measurement of fiducial and differential cross-sections for $W^+W^-$ production in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$13 TeV with the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of $36.1$ fb$^{-1}$ is presented. Events with one electron and one muon are selected, corresponding to the decay of the diboson system as $WW\rightarrow e^{\pm}νμ^{\mp}ν$. To suppress top-quark background, events containing jets with a transverse momentum exceeding 35 GeV are not included in the measurement phase space. The fiducial cross-section, six differential distributions and the cross-section as a function of the jet-veto transverse momentum threshold are measured and compared with several theoretical predictions. Constraints on anomalous electroweak gauge boson self-interactions are also presented in the framework of a dimension-six effective field theory.

description: We study the problem of existence of static spherically symmetric wormholes supported by the kink-like configuration of a scalar field. With this aim we consider a self-consistent, real, nonlinear, nonminimally coupled scalar field $ϕ$ in general relativity with the symmetry-breaking potential $V(ϕ)$ possessing two minima. We classify all possible field configurations ruling out those of them for which wormhole solutions are impossible. Field configurations admitting wormholes are investigated numerically. Such the configurations represent a spherical domain wall localized near the wormhole throat.

description: We take advantage of a set of molecular cloud simulations to demonstrate a possibility to uncover statistical properties of the gas density and velocity fields using reflected emission of a short (with duration much less than the cloud's light-crossing time) X-ray flare. Such situation is relevant for the Central Molecular Zone of our Galaxy where several clouds get illuminated by a $\sim110$ yr-old flare from the supermassive black hole Sgr A*. Due to shortness of the flare ($Δt\lesssim1.6$ yrs), only a thin slice ($Δz\lesssim0.5$ pc) of the molecular gas contributes to the X-ray reflection signal at any given moment, and its surface brightness effectively probes the local gas density. This allows reconstructing the density probability distribution function over a broad range of scales with virtually no influence of attenuation, chemo-dynamical biases and projection effects. Such measurement is key to understanding the structure and star-formation potential of the clouds evolving under extreme conditions in the CMZ. For cloud parameters similar to the currently brightest in X-ray reflection molecular complex Sgr A, the sensitivity level of the best available data is sufficient only for marginal distinction between solenoidal and compressive forcing of turbulence. Future-generation X-ray observatories with large effective area and high spectral resolution will dramatically improve on that by minimising systematic uncertainties due to contaminating signals. Furthermore, measurement of the iron fluorescent line centroid with sub-eV accuracy in combination with the data on molecular line emission will allow direct investigation of the gas velocity field.

description: Auf dem Höhepunkt der internationalen Auseinandersetzung um postkoloniale Restitutionsfragen tagte im Mai 1980 erstmals ein neuer UNESCO-Ausschuss mit der kuriosen Bezeichnung Intergovernmental Committee for Promoting the Return of Cultural Property to Its Countries of Origin or Its Restitution in Case of Illicit Appropriation. Das kurz ICPRCP genannte Komitee sollte als vermittelnde Instanz zwischen Kulturgüter besitzenden und zurückfordernden Staaten tätig werden. Doch seine Gründung wurde, davon zeugt dieser Name, von heftig geführten Deutungskämpfen über die zentralen Begriffe „restitution“ und „return“ begleitet. Restitution, Rückgabe, oder auch Transfer gehören heute zum Standardvokabular von postkolonialer Museumspraxis und auswärtiger Kulturpolitik, in der medialen Berichterstattung werden sie oft synonym verwendet. Dabei waren diese Termini ursprünglich eng mit divergierenden Interpretationen der kolonialen Vergangenheit, institutionellen Selbstverständnissen und entwicklungspolitischen Interessen verbunden.
Quintessential Cosmological Scenarios in the Relativistic Theory of Gravitation

description: It is shown that the accelerated expansion of the universe in the framework of the relativistic theory of gravitation can be achieved by the introduction of the quintessential term in the energy-momentum tensor. The value of the minimum scaling factor and the modern observational data for the density and state parameters of the matter give the rough estimations for the maximum graviton mass and the maximum scaling factor. The former can be very low in the case of the primordial inflation and the latter can be extremely large for the scalar field model of the quintessence. In any case, the massive graviton stops the second inflation and provide the closed cosmological scenario in the agreement with the causality principle inherent to the theory.

Duality in Quantum Quenches and Classical Approximation Algorithms: Pretty Good or Very Bad
Creators: name: Hastings, M. B.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider classical and quantum algorithms which have a duality property: roughly, either the algorithm provides some nontrivial improvement over random or there exist many solutions which are significantly worse than random. This enables one to give guarantees that the algorithm will find such a nontrivial improvement: if few solutions exist which are much worse than random, then a nontrivial improvement is guaranteed. The quantum algorithm is based on a sudden of a Hamiltonian; while the algorithm is general, we analyze it in the specific context of MAX-$K$-LIN$2$, for both even and odd $K$. The classical algorithm is a "dequantization of this algorithm", obtaining the same guarantee (indeed, some results which are only conjectured in the quantum case can be proven here); however, the quantum point of view helps in analyzing the performance of the classical algorithm and might in some cases perform better.

Subjects: subject: 500 Naturwissenschaften und Mathematik::540 Chemie

description: Alkoxyallenes are unusually versatile C3 building blocks in organic synthesis. Hence this tutorial review summarizes the most important transformations, including subsequent reactions and their applications in the synthesis of relevant compounds, e.g. natural products. The reactivity patterns involved and the synthons derived from alkoxyallenes are presented. Often alkoxyallenes can serve as substitutes of acrolein or acrolein acetals, utilisation of which has already led to interesting products. Most important is the use of lithiated alkoxyallenes which smoothly react with a variety of electrophiles and lead to products with unique substitution patterns. The heterocycles or carbocycles formed are intermediates for the stereoselective synthesis of natural products or for the preparation of other structurally relevant compounds. The different synthons being put into practice by the use of lithiated alkoxyallenes in these variations will be discussed.

description: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal adult-onset paralytic disorder for which there is currently no cure. Underlying the disease mechanism of ALS is the spontaneous pathologic degeneration of motor neurons (MNs). Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying spontaneous and selective MN demise is critical to the development of rational therapeutic strategies. In the current work, utilizing established in vitro models of ALS, I demonstrate that necroptosis, a form of caspase-independent programmed cell death (PCD), drives MN death. Pharmacologic inhibition and/or genetic silencing of receptor interacting protein kinase-1 (RIPK1), receptor interacting protein kinase-3 (RIPK3), and mixed lineage kinase domain-like-protein (MLKL) rescued MN death in vitro. While this core machinery was conserved, the requirement of nuclear factor kappa-B (NF-κB) and Bcl-2-associated X protein (Bax) deviated from known models of necroptosis. This divergence led me to consider that there may be a MN-specific program of necroptosis. Thus, I then used unbiased approaches, by meta-analyzing a gene expression signature captured from MNs undergoing cell death in vitro, to explore MN cell death drivers that may be engaged upstream or downstream to RIPK1/RIPK3/MLKL. I also explored the relevance of necroptosis to MN disease in vivo, in part by deleting RIPK3 from a genetic mouse model of familial ALS. Overall this approach did not rescue motor neuron loss, and there was no improvement in motor function, disease onset, or survival in these animals. I conclude that while necroptosis machinery drives motor neuron death in in vitro models of ALS, more work needs to be done to (1) assess the motor neuron-specific cell death program, and (2) evaluate the relationship, if any, of necroptosis to motor neuron disease in vivo.

description: We propose the Wishart planted ensemble, a class of zero-field Ising models with tunable algorithmic hardness and specifiable (or planted) ground state. The problem class arises from a simple procedure for generating a family of random integer programming problems with specific statistical symmetry properties, but turns out to have intimate connections to a sign-inverted variant of the Hopfield model. The Hamiltonian contains only 2-spin interactions, with the coupler matrix following a type of Wishart distribution. The class exhibits a classical first-order phase transition in temperature. For some parameter settings the model has a locally-stable paramagnetic state, a feature which correlates strongly with difficulty in finding the ground state and suggests an extremely rugged energy landscape. We analytically probe the ensemble thermodynamic properties by deriving the Thouless-Anderson-Palmer equations and free energy and corroborate the results with a replica and annealed approximation analysis; extensive Monte Carlo simulations confirm our predictions of the first-order transition temperature. The class exhibits a wide variation in algorithmic hardness as a generation parameter is varied, with a pronounced easy-hard-easy profile and peak in solution time towering many orders of magnitude over that of the easy regimes. By deriving the ensemble-averaged energy distribution and taking into account finite-precision representation, we propose an analytical expression for the location of the hardness peak and show that at fixed precision, the number of constraints in the integer program must increase with system size to yield truly hard problems. The Wishart planted ensemble is interesting for its peculiar physical properties and provides a useful and analytically-transparent set of problems for benchmarking optimization algorithms.

description: Gas diffusion in coals plays an important role in enhanced coalbed methane production, but a consistent picture of diffusion behaviour in coals is yet to emerge. There is no agreement on the most appropriate model, pressure dependence of diffusion coefficients, or the physical explanation to why CH4 diffusion is slower than CCh. The aim of the work towards this Thesis is to determine sorption kinetics more accurately, model them more systematically over a wider range of experimental conditions and resolve discrepancies present in the literature to explain (i) why uptake of gas in coal takes a considerable amount of time and (ii) why C02 sorbs faster than CH4. A manometric sorption system was constructed that was optimized for uptake rate measurements. This was used to study the effects of coal-type, particle size, gas-type and mixture, and temperature on sorption kinetics. A gravimetric apparatus was also utilised to measure isotherms for different gases at different fractions of the same coaL Further work combined manometric uptake rate measurements with Small Angle X-Ray Scattering (SAXS) along with an analysis of previously obtained sorption-induced coal swelling kinetic data.

The architecture can dramatically reduce the pre-processing, cleaning, and data understanding effort often documented to take 80% of the time in knowledge discovery projects. We emphasize the need for data collection at the application server layer (not the web server) in order to support logging of data and metadata that is essential to the discovery process. We describe the data transformation bridges required from the transaction processing systems and customer event streams (e.g., clickstreams) to the data warehouse. We detail the mining workbench, which needs to provide multiple views of the data through reporting, data mining algorithms, visualization, and OLAP. We con-clude with a set of challenges.

description: After a review of several methods designed to produce equivariant cohomology classes, we apply one introduced by Berline, Getzler and Vergne, to get a family of representatives of the universal Thom class of a vector bundle. Surprisingly, this family does not contain the representative given by Matha\"ı and Quillen. However it contains a particularly simple and symmetric representative that we construct explicitly.

description: This paper will examine policy drivers of EV, and what potential role policy can play in enhancing the innovation and market development of EV, and the anticipated impacts on energy use and carbon emissions at the Nordic and EU scale. We will start with a policy review of key targets in the Nordic countries and the EU, up to 2030, and discuss to what extent they are consistent with industry and expert estimates of how the systems can grow. On the basis of this, the second part elaborates two simple scenarios of EV development in the EU, one rapid EV expansion scenario and one more modest expansion scenario. The third part examines what policy drivers might be needed to enable the two scenarios, using a technological innovation systems (TIS) perspective to describe the needed processes, drivers and developments in policy and technology at different levels (local, national, EU, global) that would lead to the scenarios. The fourth part analyses the energy and climate impacts of the two scenarios, given different assumptions relating to e.g. energy supply systems as well as driving behaviour.
title: Prediction of Couple Outcomes in Stepfamilies
Creators: name: Phillips, Maddie Elizabeth

Subjects: subject: Stepfamily couples
subject: first-marriage couples
subject: couple relationship adjustment

description: This thesis describes a program of research which aimed to identify the extent to which couple and stepfamily variables were associated with couple relationship adjustment and stability in stepfamily couples. Two studies were conducted. Study 1 consisted of 63 stepfamily couples who were in a committed relationship (married or cohabiting) and who had earlier taken part in an intervention program. It was hypothesised that positive couple relationship outcomes could be predicted by low couple aggression, high couple negativity, low couple withdrawal, high parenting disagreement, and high dysfunctional parenting over a 5-year period. The results did not support the hypotheses possibly due to low power in the design. In Study 2, 122 stepfamily couples who been living together (married or cohabiting) as a stepfamily were assessed on couple and stepfamily factors, and these were tested for their association with couple relationship adjustment and stability, using both self-report questionnaires and interview data. As predicted, stepfamily factors accounted for variance in couple stability above that accounted for by couple factors. Furthermore, stepfamily factors were associated with couple stability independent of couple adjustment. The influence of stepfamily couple relationship adjustment and stability seem distinctive from first-marriage couples. It was concluded that stepfamily relationship education programs for stepfamilies should address the unique needs of stepfamilies such as parenting education for inexperienced stepparents, the development of positive stepparent-stepchild relationships, and the building of stepfamily cohesion.

description: The extreme-gravity collisions of binaries with one black hole and one neutron star provide for excellent tests of general relativity. We here study how well one can constrain theories beyond general relativity with additional scalar fields that allow for spontaneous scalarization of neutron stars, and those motivated from string theory. We find that existing bounds can be improved with current gravitational-wave detectors if the black hole mass is sufficiently small. Bounds will further improve by many orders of magnitude with future detections, especially by combining multiple events.

description: Several important decision problems on conjunctive queries (CQs) are NP-complete in general but become tractable, and actually highly parallelizable, if restricted to acyclic or nearly acyclic queries. Examples are the evaluation of Boolean CQs and query containment. These problems were shown tractable for conjunctive queries of bounded treewidth and of bounded degree of cyclicity. The so far most general concept of nearly acyclic queries was the notion of queries of bounded query-width introduced by Chekuri and Rajaraman (1997). While CQs of bounded query width are tractable, it remained unclear whether such queries are efficiently recognizable. Chekuri and Rajaraman stated as an open problem whether for each constant k it can be determined in polynomial time if a query has query width less than or equal to k. We give a negative answer by proving this problem NP-complete (specifically, for k=4). In order to circumvent this difficulty, we introduce the new concept of hypertree decomposition of a query and the corresponding notion of hypertree width. We prove: (a) for each k, the class of queries with query width bounded by k is properly contained in the class of queries whose hypertree width is bounded by k; (b) unlike query width, constant hypertree-width is efficiently recognizable; (c) Boolean queries of constant hypertree width can be efficiently evaluated.

description: A network topology aware MPI all-to-all algorithm which was developed in earlier PRACE project is improved. The interface of the all-to-all routine is made similar to MPI all-to-all routine. The routine is being tested for accuracy. A new data classifier routine is developed to collect network characteristics data. The classifier works very well and in a scalable way when categories are as well separated in feature space. A new data collection scheme is developed. The scalability of the data acquisition has been partly addressed but there are remaining issues to be solved.

The Newtonian limit of spacetimes describing uniformly accelerated particles

description: We discuss the Newtonian limit of boost-rotation symmetric spacetimes by means of the Ehler's frame theory. Conditions for the existence of such a limit are given and, in particular, we show that asymptotic flatness is an essential requirement for the existence of such a limit. Consequently, generalized boost-rotation symmetric spacetimes describing particles moving in uniform fields will not possess a Newtonian limit. In the cases where the boost-rotation symmetric spacetime is asymptotically flat and its Newtonian limit exists, then it is non-zero only for the instant of time symmetry and its value is given by a Poisson integral. The relation of this result with the (Newtonian) gravitational potential suggested by the weak field approximation is discussed. We illustrate our analysis through some examples: the two monopoles solution, the Curzon-Chazy particle solution, the generalized Bonnor-Swaminarayan solution, and the C metric.

description: A class of n-ary Poisson structures of constant rank is indicated. Then, one proves that the ternary Poisson brackets are exactly those which are defined by a decomposable 3-vector field. The key point is the proof of a lemma which tells that an n-vector $(n\geq3)$ is decomposable iff all its contractions with up to n-2 covectors are decomposable.
