description: In this thesis, we aim to study Besov spaces associated with operators and our work has 2 new parts: one part is to extend certain results of [BDY] to different type of heat kernels not included in [BDY] and another part is to obtain molecular and atomic decompositions for Besov spaces for a larger range of indices. Recently, in [BDY] the authors investigated the theory of Besov spaces associated to operators whose heat kernel satisfies an upper bound of Poisson type on the space of polynomial upper bound on volume growth. They also carried out that by different choices of operators L, they can recover most of the classical Besov spaces. Moreover, in some particular choices of L, they obtain new Besov spaces. In the first new part of this thesis, we aim to extend certain results in [BDY] to a more general setting when the underlying space can have different dimensions at 0 and infinity. In the second new part of this thesis, the main aim is to lay out the theory of Besov spaces associated to operators L whose heat kernel satisfies the Gaussian upper bounds on spaces of homogeneous type. The main contribution is to investigate the atomic and molecular decompositions of functions in the new Besov spaces. We also carry out the study that depending on the choice of L, our new Besov spaces may coincide with or may be properly larger than the classical Besov spaces in the space of homogeneous type. Finally, the behaviour of fractional integrals and spectral multipliers on the new Besov spaces is also investigated.

description: Two Jovian-sized planets are orbiting the star HD155358 near exact mean motion resonance (MMR) commensurability. In this work we re-analyze the radial velocity (RV) data previously collected by Robertson et al. (2012). Using a Bayesian framework we construct two models - one that includes and one that excludes gravitational planet-planet interactions (PPI). We find that the orbital parameters from our PPI and noPPI models differ by up to $2σ$, with our noPPI model being statistically consistent with previous results. In addition, our new PPI model strongly favours the planets being in MMR while our noPPI model strongly disfavours MMR. We conduct a stability analysis by drawing samples from our PPI model's posterior distribution and simulating them for $10^9$ years, finding that our best-fit values land firmly in a stable region of parameter space. We explore a series of formation models that migrate the planets into their observed MMR. We then use these models to directly fit to the observed RV data, where each model is uniquely parameterized by only three constants describing its migration history. Using a Bayesian framework we find that a number of migration models fit the RV data surprisingly well, with some migration parameters being ruled out. Our analysis shows that planet-planet interactions are important to take into account when modelling observations of multi-planetary systems. The additional information that one can gain from interacting models can help constrain planet migration parameters.

description: An analytical solution to the time evolution of decay of one and two identical noninteracting particles is presented using the formalism of resonant states. It is shown that the time-dependent wave function and hence the survival and nonescape probabilities for the initial state of a single particle and entangled symmetric and antisymmetric initial states of two identical particles evolve in a distinctive form along the exponential and long-time nonexponential decaying regimes. In particular, for the last regime, they exhibit different inverse power of time behaviors.

description: The Cherenkov Telescope Array is the next generation of observatory using imaging air Cherenkov technique for very-high-energy gamma-ray astronomy. Its first prototype telescope is operational on-site at La Palma and its data acquisitions allowed to detect known sources, study new ones, and to confirm the performance expectations. The application of deep learning for the reconstruction of the incident particle physical properties (energy, direction of arrival and type) have shown promising results when conducted on simulations. Nevertheless, its application to real observational data is challenging because deep-learning-based models can suffer from domain shifts. In the present article, we address this issue by implementing domain adaptation methods into state-of-art deep learning models for Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes event reconstruction to reduce the domain discrepancies, and we shed light on the gain in performance that they bring along.

description: We investigate the properties of the hadron-quark mixed phase, often termed the \textit{pasta} phase, expected to exist in the cores of massive neutron stars. To construct the equations of state (EoS), we combine an analytical representation based on the APR EoS for hadronic matter with the MIT bag model featuring vector interactions for quark matter. For modeling the mixed phase, we utilize the compressible liquid drop model that consistently accounts for finite-size and Coulomb effects. Unlike most previous analyses that treated surface tension as a constant free parameter and neglected curvature tension, we employ microphysical calculations using the multiple reflection expansion formalism to determine these parameters, while also ensuring their self-consistency with the EoS. We construct an extensive set of mixed hybrid EoSs by varying model parameters, solve the stellar structure equations to obtain neutron star mass-radius relationships, and select the models that satisfy current astrophysical constraints. Our findings closely align with calculations using a constant surface tension in terms of EoS stiffness and resulting stellar structure. However, they reveal significant differences in the types of geometric structures and their prevalence ranges within the mixed phase. Specifically, curvature effects enhance the emergence of tubes and bubbles at high densities despite the large value of surface tension, while suppressing the existence of drops and rods at low densities.

description: A challenge in same-day delivery operations is that delivery requests are typically not known beforehand, but are instead revealed dynamically during the day. This uncertainty introduces a trade-off between dispatching vehicles to serve requests as soon as they are revealed to ensure timely delivery, and delaying the dispatching decision to consolidate routing decisions with future, currently unknown requests. In this paper, we study the dynamic dispatch waves problem, a same-day delivery problem in which vehicles are dispatched at fixed decision moments. At each decision moment, the system operator must decide which of the known requests to dispatch, and how to route these dispatched requests. The operator's goal is to minimize the total routing cost while ensuring that all requests are served on time. We propose iterative conditional dispatch (ICD), an iterative solution construction procedure based on a sample scenario approach. ICD iteratively solves sample scenarios to classify requests to be dispatched, postponed, or undecided. The set of undecided requests shrinks in each iteration until a final dispatching decision is made in the last iteration. We develop two variants of ICD: one variant based on thresholds, and another variant based on similarity. A significant strength of ICD is that it is conceptually simple and easy to implement. This simplicity does not harm performance: through rigorous numerical experiments, we show that both variants efficiently navigate the large state and action spaces of the dynamic dispatch waves problem and quickly converge to a high-quality solution. Finally, we demonstrate that the threshold-based ICD variant achieves excellent results on instances from the EURO meets NeurIPS 2022 vehicle routing competition, nearly matching the performance of the winning machine learning-based strategy.

Abstract
At the previous ISIEMS conference (2015), a UK-German initiative to generate validated models of Hesco-Bastion wall systems exposed to far-field loading was presented. Although the work produced models which very convincingly recreated the tipping and sliding modes of response, transient diagnostics revealed that the rates of deformation and the thresholds of wall instability were not faithfully predicted. During a subsequent series of wall trials in Germany (extending into 2017), the “in situ” condition of the wall’s fill material was investigated prior to blast testing and the extracted soil properties compared to those measured under laboratory conditions. This exercise revealed that the lower portion of the wall fill was considerably more saturated than had previously been assumed. When soil properties commensurate with this state were integrated into the simulations, a more faithful threshold for tipping was predicted. In addition to enhancements made to the modelling process and the aspiration to generate a quicker-running simulation technique, this paper describes the field measurement techniques used to assess the “in situ” water content together with the philosophy behind the resulting adjustments to the model geometry and material properties. The paper also describes the testing and blast response of other wall types and the improvements made to the general diagnostic process with respect to obtaining more comprehensive high quality model validation data and generally improving design and fabrication of field camp protection systems.

description: We derive a class of thermodynamically consistent variants of Maxwell/Oldroyd-B type models for viscoelastic fluids. In particular, we study the models that allow one to consider temperature dependent material coefficients. This naturally calls for the formulation of a temperature evolution equation that would accompany the evolution equations for the mechanical quantities. The evolution equation for the temperature is explicitly formulated, and it is shown to be consistent with the laws of thermodynamics and the evolution equations for the mechanical quantities. The temperature evolution equation contains terms that are ignored or even not thought of in most of the works dealing with this class of fluids. The impact of the additional terms in the temperature evolution equation on the flow dynamics is documented by the solution of simple initial/boundary value problems.

description: Tunable lasers, with the ability to continuously adjust their emission wavelengths, have found widespread applications across various fields such as biomedical imaging, coherent ranging, optical communications and spectroscopy. In these applications, a wide chirp range is advantageous for large spectral coverage and high frequency resolution. Besides, the frequency accuracy and precision also depend critically on the chirp linearity of the laser. While extensive efforts have been made on the development of many kinds of frequency-agile, widely tunable, narrow-linewidth lasers, wideband yet precise methods to characterize and to linearize laser chirp dynamics are also demanded. Here we present an approach to characterize laser chirp dynamics using an optical frequency comb. The instantaneous laser frequency is tracked over terahertz bandwidth with 1 MHz interval. Using this approach we calibrate the chirp performance of twelve tunable lasers from Toptica, Santec, New Focus, EXFO and NKT that are commonly used in fiber optics and integrated photonics. In addition, with acquired knowledge on laser chirp dynamics, we demonstrate a simple frequency-linearization scheme that enables coherent ranging without any optical or electronic linearization units. Our approach not only presents a novel wideband, high-resolution laser spectroscopy, but is also critical for sensing applications with ever-increasing requirements on performance.
The relationship between teaching presence and online instructor satisfaction in an online teacher training program

description: As the number and frequency of online programs being offered in higher education continue to increase, so too does the amount of research dedicated to examining and exploring their impact on learners and learner outcomes. Yet in the literature there is less research dedicated to examining instructor outcomes in online programs, especially with regard to the feelings and perceptions of satisfaction instructors derive from their online teaching. This thesis reports the results of a case study that examined a cohort of instructors engaged in synchronous, online videoconference instruction in a graduate teacher training program at a mid-sized private university in Seoul, South Korea. Using a mixed methods approach, instructor responses gathered from interviews, the Online Instructor Satisfaction Measure, and observation of videoconference lessons were triangulated to establish whether or not a relationship might exist between teaching presence and instructor satisfaction with the aim of describing that relationship. Overall, the findings presented in this thesis represent an exploration into the impact of instructor satisfaction on teacher actions in online videoconference contexts. In addition to finding that satisfied instructors show more teaching presence indicators than instructors who are not satisfied, two related issues emerged from the case study that have implications for future research. First, the overall context of the teaching program must be taken into account when describing online teaching and learning. Second, existing indicators of teaching presence based on text-based instances of online teaching may need to be revised to take into account the increased volume of synchronous, videoconference lessons that are quickly becoming mainstream in online teaching and learning.

description: We experimentally demonstrate the underlying physical mechanism of the recently proposed protocol for superreplication of quantum phase gates [W. Dür, P. Sekatski, and M. Skotiniotis, Phys. Rev. Lett. 114, 120503 (2015)], which allows to produce up to $N^2$ high-fidelity replicas from N input copies in the limit of large N. Our implementation of 1->2 replication of the single-qubit phase gates is based on linear optics and qubits encoded into states of single photons. We employ the quantum Toffoli gate to imprint information about the structure of an input two-qubit state onto an auxiliary qubit, apply the replicated operation to the auxiliary qubit, and then disentangle the auxiliary qubit from the other qubits by a suitable quantum measurement. We characterize the replication protocol by full quantum process tomography and observe good agreement of the experimental results with theory.

description: One-shirt-size policy cannot handle poverty issues well since each area has its unique challenges, while having a custom-made policy for each area separately is unrealistic due to limitation of resources as well as having issues of ignoring dependencies of characteristics between different areas. In this work, we propose to use Bayesian hierarchical models which can potentially explain the data regarding income and other poverty-related variables in the multi-resolution governing structural data of Thailand. We discuss the journey of how we design each model from simple to more complex ones, estimate their performance in terms of variable explanation and complexity, discuss models' drawbacks, as well as propose the solutions to fix issues in the lens of Bayesian hierarchical models in order to get insight from data.
 We found that Bayesian hierarchical models performed better than both complete pooling (single policy) and no pooling models (custom-made policy). Additionally, by adding the year-of-education variable, the hierarchical model enriches its performance of variable explanation. We found that having a higher education level increases significantly the households' income for all the regions in Thailand. The impact of the region in the households' income is almost vanished when education level or years of education are considered. Therefore, education might have a mediation role between regions and the income. Our work can serve as a guideline for other countries that require the Bayesian hierarchical approach to model their variables and get insight from data.
Hybridizing Non-dominated Sorting Algorithms: Divide-and-Conquer Meets Best Order Sort

description: Many production-grade algorithms benefit from combining an asymptotically efficient algorithm for solving big problem instances, by splitting them into smaller ones, and an asymptotically inefficient algorithm with a very small implementation constant for solving small subproblems. A well-known example is stable sorting, where mergesort is often combined with insertion sort to achieve a constant but noticeable speed-up. We apply this idea to non-dominated sorting. Namely, we combine the divide-and-conquer algorithm, which has the currently best known asymptotic runtime of $O(N (\log N)^{M - 1})$, with the Best Order Sort algorithm, which has the runtime of $O(N^2 M)$ but demonstrates the best practical performance out of quadratic algorithms. Empirical evaluation shows that the hybrid's running time is typically not worse than of both original algorithms, while for large numbers of points it outperforms them by at least 20%. For smaller numbers of objectives, the speedup can be as large as four times.

Aesthetic taste and consumer demand for cultural goods: an application to theatre
Creators: name: Zednik, Anita
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis develops and tests hypotheses with respect to two commonly observed phenomena in cultural goods consumption: Firstly, the fact that cultural goods are an "acquired taste" in that some experience or knowledge is necessary for those goods to be enjoyed. Current models account for this phenomenon by including proxies such as past exposure, general education or social status. Secondly, within a cultural goods category, goods that are aesthetically rewarding are generally not as highly demanded as those that are considered entertaining. This thesis tests whether the philosophical concept of taste (interpreted as a perceptive skill) can explain those two phenomena, distinct from past exposure. Choice models are developed and tested using data collected via an online discrete choice experiment applied to over 400 Sydney residents. Theatre plays were chosen as the cultural goods category to test the hypotheses, since demand for and choice of theatre has been investigated previously by cultural economists and thus offers good opportunities for comparing research results. Direct and indirect measures of individual aesthetic taste as well as three alternative measures of aesthetic qualities of theatre plays are developed. Binary conditional logit models, tobit regression models, multinomial logit models, ordinary least squares models and a latent class model were estimated from the survey data to test the hypotheses. An overall positive effect of aesthetic taste on consumer choice of cultural goods, separate from the effects of past attendance, is established. Results for the hypotheses tested in regard to the relationship between aesthetic taste and aesthetic qualities are largely supported. The conclusion of this thesis emphasizes the importance of aesthetic taste as a concept distinct from familiarity, and suggests how the results can be used by policy makers and arts organisations. Suggestions for further research are given.

description: The currently accepted mathematical description of the fundamental constituents and interactions of matter is the Standard Model of particle physics. Its last missing particle, the famous Higgs boson, was observed at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in 2012. However, it is clear that the Standard Model cannot be the ultimate theory of Nature, and e.g. cannot account for Dark Matter or non-vanishing neutrino masses (and does not include gravity). In fact, searches for physics beyond the SM have been intensified since the Higgs boson discovery. In this article, we review the hints for new physics, called ``anomalies'', obtained in particle physics experiments within the last years. We consider both direct high-energy searches for new resonances at the LHC and indirect low-energy precision experiments. These anomalies range from the nuclear scale (approximately the mass of the proton) to the electroweak scale (i.e. the mass of the Higgs boson) to the TeV scale (the highest scale directly accessible at the LHC), therefore spanning over four orders of magnitude. After discussing the experimental and theoretical status of the anomalies, we summarize possible explanations in terms of new particles and new interactions. In particular, new Higgs bosons and leptoquarks are promising candidates. Discovery prospects and implications for future colliders are discussed.

description: When electrons are confined in a two dimensional (2D) system, typical quantum mechanical phenomena such as Landau quantization can be detected. Graphene systems, including the single atomic layer and few-layer stacked crystals, are ideal 2D materials for studying a variety of quantum mechanical problems. In this article, we review the experimental progress in the unusual Landau quantized behaviors of Dirac fermions in monolayer and multilayer graphene by using scanning tunneling microscopy(STM) and scanning tunneling spectroscopy(STS). Through STS measurement of the strong magnetic fields, distinct Landau-level spectra and rich level splitting phenomena are observed in different graphene layers. These unique properties provide an effective method for identifying the number of layers, as well as the stacking orders, and investigating the fundamentally physical phenomena of graphene. Moreover, in the presence of a strain and charged defects, the Landau quantization of graphene can be significantly modified, leading to unusual spectroscopic and electronic properties.

description: In the race towards high-performance ultra-scaled devices, two-dimensional materials offer an alternative paradigm thanks to their atomic thickness suppressing short-channel effects. It is thus urgent to study the most promising candidates in realistic configurations, and here we present detailed multiscale simulations of field-effect transistors based on arsenene and antimonene monolayers as channels. The accuracy of first-principles approaches in describing electronic properties is combined with the efficiency of tight-binding Hamiltonians based on maximally-localised Wannier functions to compute the transport properties of the devices. These simulations provide for the first time estimates on the upper limits for the electron and hole mobilities in the Takagi's approximation, including spin-orbit and multi-valley effects, and demonstrate that ultra-scaled devices in the sub-10 nm scale show a performance that is compliant with industry requirements.

description: Recent years have seen a rapid reduction in the intrinsic loss of nanomechanical resonators (i.e., chip-scale mechanical oscillators). As a result, these devices become increasingly sensitive to the friction exerted by smallest amounts of gas. Here, we present the pressure-dependency of a nanomechanical trampoline resonator's quality factor $Q$ over ten decades, from $10^{-7}$ to $10^{3}\,\mathrm{mbar}$. We find that the measured behavior is well-described by a model combining analytical and numerical components for molecular and viscous flow, respectively. This model relies exclusively on design and typical material parameters, together with measured values of intrinsic resonance frequency $f_\mathrm{in}$ and quality factor $Q_\mathrm{in}$. Measuring $f_\mathrm{in}$ and $Q_\mathrm{in}$ at a pressure $<\!10^{-7}\,\mathrm{mbar}$ self-calibrates our sensor over its entire measurement range. For a trampoline's fundamental out-of-plane vibrational mode, the resulting deviation between measured and simulated pressure dependencies of the quality factor and resonance frequency is within $15\,\%$ and $4\,\%$, respectively. The resulting error for pressure values inferred from quality factor and frequency measurements is $<10\,\%$, for pressures between $\sim 10^{-6}$ and $\sim 10^{-1}\,\mathrm{mbar}$, and $<25\,\%$ for the complete 10-decade measurement range. Exceptions are two outliers with increased measurement errors, which might be related to the limited accuracy of our commercial pressure gauge. Based on investigations with helium, we demonstrate the potential for extending this sensing capability to other gases, thereby highlighting the practical use of our sensor.
Adiabatic transition from the cluster state to the surface code

description: This project studies two different quantum phases of matter and how to design systems that adiabatically connect one phase with another. One phase corresponds to a cluster state which is a resource state for measurement-based quantum computation, and the other is a surface code which is a robust way to store quantum memory. Both phases are ground states of strongly correlated two-dimensional lattices of quantum systems, either two-level systems (qubits, fermions) or infinite-dimensional, continuous-variable (CV) systems (quantum modes, bosons), and both phases are gapped. However. the surface code has a special kind of non-local order, termed topological order, while the cluster phase does not. A key advantage of the cluster phase is that it can be relatively easily prepared in experiment using a constant depth circuit acting on an initially unentangled state. The surface code, in contrast, requires a number of preparation steps that scales with the system size; a consequence of the long range topological order in this phase. Remarkably, it has been shown that the surface code can be prepared from the cluster phase simply by performing a pattern of commuting single site measurements on the lattice. However, for any outcome of measurements, it is necessary to perform a set of corrections to the state such that the total preparation time is still extensive. The focus of this thesis is how to smoothly perform the entire preparation procedure for the surface code by deforming a Hamiltonian which encodes the state in the ground state. This avoids measurement altogether and moreover has the advantage that for CV systems the Hamiltonian involves only two-body near-neighbour interactions rather than the four-body interactions that are required in a spin encoding. In this thesis, we study a smooth, adiabatic transition from the cluster state to the surface code. We do this in a series of steps: We first consider the adiabatic evolution of a single qubit and a single qumode. We also calculate the iterative, discrete time step approximation of the continuous adiabatic evolution of states in the qubit case, and begin the work toward the adiabatic evolution of CV operators by first considering a single qumode transition Hamiltonian. Then we study the spectrum of au adiabatic transition from a bosonic CV cluster state Hamiltonian to a CV planar surface code Hamiltonian. In particular, we track the energy gap between the ground and first excited state during the transition.

description: We present mid-infrared observations for a sample of 16 O-type stars. The data were acquired with the NASA Spitzer Space Telescope, using the IRS instrument at moderate resolution (R $\sim$ 600), covering the range $\sim 10-37$ microns. Our sample includes early, mid and late O supergiants and dwarfs. We explore for the first time their mid-IR spectral morphology in a quantitative way. We use NLTE expanding atmosphere models to help with line identifications, analyze profile contributions and line-formation regions. The O supergiants present a rich emission line spectra. The most intense features are from hydrogen - $6α$, 7$α$, and $8α$ - which have non-negligible contributions of HeI or HeII lines, depending on the spectral type. The spectrum of early O supergiants is a composite of HI and HeII lines, HeI lines being absent. On the other hand, late O supergiants present features composed mainly by HI and HeI lines. All emission lines are formed throughout the stellar wind. We found that O dwarfs exhibit a featureless mid-IR spectrum. Two stars of our sample exhibit very similar mid-IR features, despite having a very different optical spectral classification. The analysis of O-type stars based on mid-IR spectra alone to infer spectral classes or to estimate physical parameters may thus be prone to substantial errors. Our results may therefore inform spectroscopic observations of massive stars located in heavily obscured regions and help establish an initial framework for observations of massive stars using the Mid-Infrared Instrument on the James Webb Space Telescope.
