description: Automated classification of supernovae (SNe) based on optical photometric light curve information is essential in the upcoming era of wide-field time domain surveys, such as the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) conducted by the Rubin Observatory. Photometric classification can enable real-time identification of interesting events for extended multi-wavelength follow-up, as well as archival population studies. Here we present the complete sample of 5,243 "SN-like" light curves (in griz) from the Pan-STARRS1 Medium-Deep Survey (PS1-MDS). The PS1-MDS is similar to the planned LSST Wide-Fast-Deep survey in terms of cadence, filters and depth, making this a useful training set for the community. Using this dataset, we train a novel semi-supervised machine learning algorithm to photometrically classify 2,315 new SN-like light curves with host galaxy spectroscopic redshifts. Our algorithm consists of a random forest supervised classification step and a novel unsupervised step in which we introduce a recurrent autoencoder neural network (RAENN). Our final pipeline, dubbed SuperRAENN, has an accuracy of 87% across five SN classes (Type Ia, Ibc, II, IIn, SLSN-I). We find the highest accuracy rates for Type Ia SNe and SLSNe and the lowest for Type Ibc SNe. Our complete spectroscopically- and photometrically-classified samples break down into: 62.0% Type Ia (1839 objects), 19.8% Type II (553 objects), 4.8% Type IIn (136 objects), 11.7% Type Ibc (291 objects), and 1.6% Type I SLSNe (54 objects). Finally, we discuss how this algorithm can be modified for online LSST data streams.

description: Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a painful sensation occurring in patients around the site of an amputation. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the efficacy of cryoneurolysis in the management of phantom limb pain. A systematic review was performed according to the PRISMA 2020 guidelines. An initial search yielded 200 articles from four major scientific databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, WebOfScience). Five articles met inclusion criteria, four of which underwent additional pooled statistical analysis. Pooled analysis of the included trials revealed a cumulative Cohen’s d effect size of 1.55 (95% CI [0.24, 2.87]; p = 0.02; z = 2.32) for the reduction of pain on a 10-point pain scale following cryoneurolysis intervention. The remaining article that did not meet inclusion criteria for statistical analysis was a case report that reported a reduction in pain from 9/10 to 1/10 one week following intervention. The large effect size demonstrated a statistically and clinically significant improvement in patient-reported pain. Additionally, patients may be able to reduce their amount of pharmaceutical pain management with successful cryoneurolysis treatment. However, these findings are limited by the small sample size and high heterogeneity between studies. Further high-quality studies should be performed to corroborate these findings. www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero identifier is CRD42024543085. Phantom limb pain (PLP) is a challenging condition where individuals feel pain in the area where a limb has been amputated. This systematic review examined the use of cryoneurolysis, a procedure that freezes nerves to reduce pain, to manage PLP. Researchers followed PRISMA 2020 guidelines for the review, analyzing studies from major databases, including PubMed and Cochrane Library. Out of 200 initial studies, five met the criteria for inclusion, with four providing data for a combined statistical analysis. The fifth study, a case report, was analyzed separately. The analysis showed a large positive effect of cryoneurolysis on reducing PLP. On a 10-point pain scale, patients reported significant pain relief, with the pooled data showing a strong reduction in pain scores. In the case report, the patient’s pain dropped from a severe 9/10 to a mild 1/10 just one week after the treatment. The findings suggest that cryoneurolysis is an effective option for reducing PLP and may also allow patients to use less medication to manage their pain. However, the conclusions are limited by the small number of studies and differences in study methods. More high-quality research is needed to confirm these promising results.

description: We study a one-dimensional classical stochastic kinetically constrained model (KCM) inspired by Rydberg atoms in their "facilitated" regime, where sites can flip only if a single of their nearest neighbours is excited. We call this model "XOR-FA" to distinguish it from the standard Fredrickson-Andersen (FA) model. We describe the dynamics of the XOR-FA model, including its relation to simple exclusion processes in its domain wall representation. The interesting relaxation dynamics of the XOR-FA is related to the prominence of large dynamical fluctuations that lead to phase transitions between active and inactive dynamical phases as in other KCMs. By means of numerical tensor network methods we study in detail such transitions in the dynamical large deviation regime.

description: We have studied the generation of magnetic fields by the Biermann mechanism in the pair-instability supernovae explosions of the first stars. The Biermann mechanism produces magnetic fields in the shocked region between the bubble and interstellar medium (ISM), even if magnetic fields are absent initially. We have performed a series of two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamic simulations with the Biermann term and estimate the amplitude and total energy of the produced magnetic fields. We find that magnetic fields with amplitude $10^{-14}-10^{-17}$ G are generated inside the bubble, though the amount of magnetic fields generated depend on specific values of initial conditions. This corresponds to magnetic fields of $10^{28}-10^{31}$ ergs per each supernova remnant, which is strong enough to be the seed magnetic field for a galactic and/or interstellar dynamo.

description: "Clean and safe" agricultural products are an important issue among consumers, farmers and governments. Many developing countries develop their produce at various points along the ‘clean’ continuum based on production practices related to use of synthetic chemicals. Organic farming is applied to technologies with no chemicals or synthetic fertilisers used during production or processing. It was initially developed by farmers and non-government organisations in Thailand, and subsequently implemented by the Thai government through a series of policies on clean produce to meet international standards. Safe-use and pesticide-free practices lie between organic and conventional practices, and are possible steps when converting conventional farms to organic farms. We compare the technical efficiencies and technology gaps of the four farming systems in northern Thailand of which three - organic, pesticide-free and safe-use - are designated ‘clean and safe’. Farm-level data on vegetable production were collected from random samples of farms using these technologies. A metafrontier model was estimated, enabling the estimation of technical efficiencies and technology gap ratios (TGRs) for vegetable farms operating under the different production systems. Conventional farms were expected to have the highest mean TGR (smallest distance from the metafrontier) as they are least constrained in the way they farm, and results bear out this expectation. The mean TGR for conventional farms is 0.80, significantly higher than that for organic farms at 0.45. But all production systems have farms lying on the metafrontier. In contrast to the TGR results, conventional farms have the lowest mean technical efficiency relative to their group frontier (0.33) and pesticide-free vegetable farms the highest (0.47), most likely reflecting the different degrees of technical assistance provided to farmers in these groups. Organic farming is that farmers in this group did not perform markedly worse than farmers in other groups in terms of productivity. There are numerous organisations and projects providing assistance for ‘clean and safe’ vegetable farming in northern Thailand. Scope exists to improve the performance of farmers in all groups as technical efficiencies and TGRs of farms vary widely in all groups. Improvements are needed for agronomic technology, supply chains, farmer capacity in production and marketing, and effectiveness of technology transfer strategies.

description: There is a growing need to evaluate fisheries management plans in a comprehensive interdisciplinary context involving stakeholders. In this paper we demonstrate a probabilistic management model to evaluate potential management plans for Baltic salmon fisheries. The analysis is based on several studies carried out by scientists from respective disciplines. The main part consisted of biological and ecological stock assessment with integrated economic analysis of the commercial fisheries. Recreational fisheries were evaluated separately. Finally, a sociological study was conducted aimed at understanding stakeholder perspectives and potential commitment to alternative management plans. In order to synthesize the findings from these disparate studies a Bayesian Belief Network (BBN) methodology is used. The ranking of management options can depend on the stakeholder perspective. The trade-offs can be analysed quantitatively with the BBN model by combining, according to the decision maker’s set of priorities, utility functions that represent stakeholders’ views. We show how BBN can be used to evaluate robustness of management decisions to different priorities and various sources of uncertainty. In particular, the importance of sociological studies in quantifying uncertainty about the commitment of fishermen to management plans is highlighted by modelling the link between commitment and implementation success.

Eyewitness identification in the developmentally delayed
Creators: name: Rodgers, Marguerite
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Developmentally delayed individuals are more likely to be witnesses to crime than the average population because of their increased vulnerability to sexual and physical assaults. Knowing how eyewitness memory in the developmentally delayed behaves in these types of situations would help police and the judicial system to ensure that these individuals are given fair access to the courts and that their testimony is considered appropriately. To examine eyewitness memory, 22 developmentally delayed participants and 23 control participants underwent a scripted interactive encounter with a confederate. One to two weeks following the interactive encounter, participants were interviewed about their memory for the event and were asked to identify the person they had dealt with in the interactive encounter. Half of the participants were shown target-present and half were shown target-absent sequential line-ups. The interview followed the step-wise interview structure (Yuille, Hunter, Joffe, & Zaparniuk, 1993), beginning with a free narrative, followed by open questions, and asking close-ended questions only if necessary. Leading questions, to test for suggestibility, were asked at the end of the interview, to ensure that they did not contaminate the majority of the interview. The interview was scored for number of action and descriptive details. Contrary to the literature, results indicate that developmentally delayed participants do not perform as well as controls with a target-present line-up, but no significant differences were found between participant groups with a targetabsent line-up. Further analysis showed that control participants performed significantly better than chance with the target-absent line-up, but developmentally delayed participants did not. A verbal overshadowing effect was evidenced for control participants, but not for developmentally delayed participants. Developmentally delayed participants performed well in the interview, showing accuracy rates similar to the control participants, although developmentally delayed participants provided fewer details than control participants. Developmentally delayed participants were vulnerable to one of the suggestive questions, but not both. These results are consistent with other research findings and are discussed in terms of their implications for the ability of developmentally delayed individuals to provide eyewitness testimony.

description: Despite strong beliefs that property titling and registration will enhance credit access, empirical evidence in support of such effects remains scant. The gradual roll-out of computerization of land registry systems across Andhra Pradesh’s 387 sub-registry offices (SROs) allows us to combine quarterly administrative data on credit disbursed by all commercial banks for a 11 year period (1997-2007) aggregated to the SRO level with the date of shifting registration from manual to digital. Computerization had no credit effect in rural areas but led to increased credit-supply in urban ones. A marked increase of registered urban mortgages due to computerization supports the robustness of the result. At the same time, estimated impacts from reduction of stamp duty are much larger, suggesting that, without further changes in the property rights system, impacts of computerization will remain marginal.
The Hitchin functionals and the topological B-model at one loop

description: The quantization in quadratic order of the Hitchin functional, which defines by critical points a Calabi-Yau structure on a six-dimensional manifold, is performed. The conjectured relation between the topological B-model and the Hitchin functional is studied at one loop. It is found that the genus one free energy of the topological B-model disagrees with the one-loop free energy of the minimal Hitchin functional. However, the topological B-model does agree at one-loop order with the extended Hitchin functional, which also defines by critical points a generalized Calabi-Yau structure. The dependence of the one-loop result on a background metric is studied, and a gravitational anomaly is found for both the B-model and the extended Hitchin model. The anomaly reduces to a volume-dependent factor if one computes for only Ricci-flat Kahler metrics.

The effects of learning a non-Western musical instrument on intercultural understanding

description: Australia is characterised by a strong multicultural representation, yet ethnocultural tensions are increasingly evident nationwide, for example, the poor treatment of indigenous Australians and media and politicians blaming Chinese people for the COVID-19 pandemic. Strategies are urgently needed to nurture intercultural understanding to minimise such tensions. Rich intercultural music engagement (RIME) is proposed as an effective educational program that could foster the embodiment of intercultural experience. This thesis aimed to investigate whether four hours of RIME with Chinese or Middle Eastern music can nurture greater intercultural understanding and harmony among White Australians. A theoretical framework is proposed in which intercultural understanding occurs most effectively from embodied engagement with the cultural practices of another ethnocultural group. It was hypothesised that RIME with Chinese or Middle Eastern musical cultures should increase ethnocultural empathy and feelings of social connection, instil a positive attitude, and reduce implicit bias towards Chinese or Middle Eastern people. First year psychology students from Macquarie University, as well as members of community musical groups (N = 31, M = 33.84, SD = 19.28) were randomly assigned to one of the two plucked-string groups: Chinese pipa (n = 15) or Middle Eastern oud (n = 16). Before and after the RIME intervention, participants completed the scales of Ethnocultural Empathy, Tolerance, Inclusion of other in Self, Attitudes towards Ethnocultural groups, and Implicit Association Tests. Participants also completed an optional post-experiment survey with open-ended questions on their experience. As predicted, White Australian participants exhibited a significant increase in ethnocultural empathy, feelings of social connection to Chinese and Middle Eastern people, and improved explicit and implicit attitudes towards the ethnocultural groups. However, benefits differed for the two cultural groups. Findings are discussed in view of the proposed theoretical framework and current literature. The study provides the first empirical evidence that participatory RIME may be an effective tool to promote intercultural understanding.

description: Free Fermions on vertices of distance-regular graphs are considered. Bipartition are defined by taking as one part all vertices at a given distance from a reference vertex. The ground state is constructed by filling all states below a certain energy. Borrowing concepts from time and band limiting problems, algebraic Heun operators and Terwilliger algebras, it is shown how to obtain, quite generally, a block tridiagonal matrix that commutes with the entanglement Hamiltonian. The case of the Hadamard graphs is studied in details within that framework and the existence of the commuting matrix is shown to allow for an analytic diagonalization of the restricted two-point correlation matrix and hence for an explicit determination of the entanglement entropy.

description: The primary objective of this paper is to evaluate the impact of New Cooperative Medicine Scheme (NCMS) in rural China, established in 2003, on improving rural residents’ access to health care and health status. Further, we estimate the extent to which NCMS reduce the expense across income groups. Using data from a longitudinal survey, we adopt a triple difference methodology to estimate the causal effect of NCMS. Our results show that NCMS has significantly increased the convenient of health care facility comparing with the non-expose countries, and it also can reduce the outpatient expense for low-middle income group. However, it did not lead to better self-assessed health. Our finding also reveals that the NCMS significantly increase the health care service price.

description: The D meson production at forward rapidities in d+Au processes is calculated using a pQCD based model, assuming that this treatment could be used as a baseline for distinct dynamical and medium effects. It is analysed how the nuclear effects in the nuclear partonic distributions may affect this process at RHIC and LHC energies. An enhancement in the moderate $q_T$ region for RHIC, due to anti-shadowing in the nuclear medium, is found. Our prediction for LHC suggests that shadowing will suppress the D meson spectra for $q_T<14$ GeV.

Halo pairs that resemble the Local Group are found in low resolutions constrained, dark matter only simulations, and selected for higher resolution magneto hydrodynamic simulation using the Arepo code. Baryonic physics follows the Auriga model of galaxy formation. The simulations contain a high resolution region of 3-5 Mpc in radius from the Local Group midpoint embedded in the correct cosmographic landscape. Within this region a simulated Local Group consisting of a Milky Way and Andromeda like galaxy forms, whose description is in excellent agreement with observations. The simulated Local Group galaxies resemble the Milky Way and Andromeda in terms of their halo mass, mass ratio, stellar disc mass, morphology separation, relative velocity, rotation curves, bulge-disc morphology, satellite galaxy stellar mass function, satellite radial distribution and in some cases, the presence of a Magellanic cloud like object. Because these simulations properly model the Local Group in their cosmographic context, they provide a testing ground for questions where environment is thought to play an important role.

description: We have measured the Faraday rotation toward a large sample of polarized radio sources behind the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), to determine the structure of this galaxy's magnetic field. The magnetic field of the LMC consists of a coherent axisymmetric spiral of field strength ~1 microgauss. Strong fluctuations in the magnetic field are also seen, on small (<0.5 parsecs) and large (~100 parsecs) scales. The significant bursts of recent star formation and supernova activity in the LMC argue against standard dynamo theory, adding to the growing evidence for rapid field amplification in galaxies.

description: The BFV formulation of a given gauge theory is usually significantly easier to obtain than its BV formulation. Grigoriev and Damgaard introduced simple formulas for obtaining the latter from the former. Since BFV relies on the Hamiltonian version of the gauge theory, however, it does not come as a surprise that in general the resulting BV theory does not exhibit space-time covariance. We provide an explicit example of this phenomenon in two spacetime dimensions and show how to restore covariance of the BV data by improving the Grigoriev--Damgaard procedure with appropriate adaptations of its original formulas.

Variational Alignment Framework

description: This document introduces a novel methodology designed to improve the permeability of cross-plylaminates, with the potential for extension to multidirectional laminates. The approach leverages a comprehensive dataset generated using the model developed in Deliverable D3.2. A variational alignment framework was employed to map permeability patterns and determine optimal fiber roving positions. This enables the adjustment of fiber roving placement in subsequent layers, significantly improving the permeability of the laminate as the stacking continues. The results demonstrate the potential of the proposed methodology, showcasing its ability to increase the mean permeability while reducing its variability. These enhancements not only improve resin flow during manufacturing but also contribute to better mechanical performance and more consistent laminate quality by reducing the risk of defect formation.

description: The policy of São Paulo State Government rural settlements, conducted by the Itesp Foundation, has its own technical assistance and rural extension service, brainstormed to attend its public specific demands. This article seeks to check if Itesp’s rural extension program satisfies its settled beneficiaries and if social-economic characteristics interfere in this individual judgment. The research was drawn at Santa Rosa and Rancho Grande settlements, Holy Rose and Big Ranch, respectively, both located at Paranapanema Pontal – SP, Unfortunate River Branch, according to native language. At first interviews concerning quality were conducted amongst settlers, selected intentionally to obtain evaluation parameters of ATER’s service. Elaborated with these results, a direct and objective questionnaire was applied to a larger random sample, from which individual appreciations were attained. The statistical analysis of multiple correspondences, followed by ascendant hierarchic classification, indicated the existence of seven homogenous settler groups, demonstrating the influence of social-economic traits in individual ratings. The existence of settlers both satisfied and unsatisfied with ATER’s service was noticed, which demands more flexible approaches by the Foundation towards divergent beneficiaries.

description: Artificial neural networks can achieve impressive performances, and even outperform humans in some specific tasks. Nevertheless, unlike biological brains, the artificial neural networks suffer from tiny perturbations in sensory input, under various kinds of adversarial attacks. It is therefore necessary to study the origin of the adversarial vulnerability. Here, we establish a fundamental relationship between geometry of hidden representations (manifold perspective) and the generalization capability of the deep networks. For this purpose, we choose a deep neural network trained by local errors, and then analyze emergent properties of trained networks through the manifold dimensionality, manifold smoothness, and the generalization capability. To explore effects of adversarial examples, we consider independent Gaussian noise attacks and fast-gradient-sign-method (FGSM) attacks. Our study reveals that a high generalization accuracy requires a relatively fast power-law decay of the eigen-spectrum of hidden representations. Under Gaussian attacks, the relationship between generalization accuracy and power-law exponent is monotonic, while a non-monotonic behavior is observed for FGSM attacks. Our empirical study provides a route towards a final mechanistic interpretation of adversarial vulnerability under adversarial attacks.

Eigenstate clustering around exceptional points

description: We propose an idea of eigenstate clustering in non-Hermitian systems. We show that non-orthogonal eigenstates can be clustered around exceptional points and illustrate our idea on some models. We discuss that exponential localization of eigenstates at edges due to the non-Hermitian skin effect is a typical example of eigenstate clustering. We numerically see that clustering of localized or extended eigenstates are possible in systems with both open and closed boundaries. We show that gain and loss can enhance eigenstate clustering. We use fidelities and the standard k-means clustering algorithm for a systematic study of clustered eigenstates.

description: Complexity theory as practiced by physicists and computational complexity theory as practiced by computer scientists both characterize how difficult it is to solve complex problems. Here it is shown that the parameters of a specific model can be adjusted so that the problem of finding its global energy minimum is extremely sensitive to small changes in the problem statement. This result has implications not only for studies of the physics of random systems but may also lead to new strategies for resolving the well-known P versus NP question in computational complexity theory.

"Wild green arts and letters" : Niedecker’s North Central poems as ecotones of text and environment
Creators: name: Houglum, Brook Louise
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Niedecker's work in North Central (1968) examines and constructs relationships between ecology and textuality . In this volume, Niedecker's attention to the specific landscapes of Lake Superior, Midwest and Wisconsin locales in "Traces," and "Wintergreen Ridge" of the Ridges Sanctuary employs an ecological epistemology: one that investigates the biodiversity, evolutionary history, present conditions, and processes of organisms in each particular habitat. Niedecker's profound familiarity and interest in these landscapes creates a text that demonstrates, in the words of Cheryll Glotfelty and Harold Fromm, an ecological portrayal of "interdependent communities, integrated systems, and strong connections between constituent parts" (xx). Environmental writer and critic John Elder suggests that one way to conceive of a conversation with a natural space is to enter an ""ecotone between literature and the natural world" (Ecopoetry x). "Ecotone" signifies the meeting and overlap of two habitats, such as a shoreline of beach and water, where species of each separate habitat interact and create unique spaces of biodiversity and exchange. This paper examines Niedecker's poetics and argues that the poems in North Central are ecotones where specific landscapes meet and influence the texts in which they occur. Each chapter focuses on one section of North Central (with the exception of the poem "My Life by Water") and examines Niedecker's poetics and method of composition through the lens of the particular ecotone of the poem. Chapter one considers Niedecker's manuscript "Notes to Lake Superior" and delineates some aspects of her poetics, such as the use of recurring words to establish connections and shift meanings, the instability of the text, and incorporation of discourses of history and geology it engages. The chapter suggests that the Lake Superior bioregion and its geological and historical layers constitute the form of the "Lake Superior" poem. Chapter two focuses on the "Traces of Living Things" section of North Central and argues that the "reflective" poetics Niedecker developed in the 1960's are aligned with Taoist and Zen traditions and haiku form. The poems of "Traces" brush-stroke landscapes, demonstrating relations between organisms, humans, sounds, and sights of the Wisconsin and Black Hawk Island environment. Chapter three looks at "Wintergreen Ridge" as an ecotone where the preserved landscape of the Ridges Sanctuary provides an opportunity for Niedecker to advocate for conservation and demonstrate conservationist composition by acknowledging biodiversity through multiple discourses of language, and delineating specific processes performed by plants, bugs, and humans.
