description: We show that the massless form fields, in $(4+1)$-dimensional non-perturbation theory of emergent gravity, become massive in a perturbative phase without Higgs mechanism. In particular an axionic scalar sourced by a non-perturbative dynamical correction is absorbed by the form fields to describe a massive NS field theory on an emergent gravitational pair of $(3{\bar 3})$-brane. Arguably the novel idea of Higgs mechanism is naturally invoked in an emergent gravity underlying a ${\rm CFT}_6$. Analysis reveals "gravito-weak" and "electro-weak" phases respectively on a vacuum pair in $(4+1)$ and $(3+1)$-dimensions. It is argued that the massive NS field quanta may govern an emergent graviton on a gravitational $3$-brane.

description: We study vortex charging caused by the Lorentz force on supercurrent based on the augmented quasiclassical equa- tions of superconductivity. Our numerical study on an s-wave vortex lattice in the range $H_{\rm{c}1} < H < H_{\rm{c}2}$ reveals that each vortex core with a single flux quantum also accumulates charge due to the circulating supercurrent and has a Hall voltage across the core. The field dependence of the charge density at the core center is well described by $H(H_{\rm{c}2}-H)$ with a peak near $H_{\rm{c}2}/2$ originating from competition between the increasing magnetic field and the decreasing pair potential. The peak value of the accumulated charge in a core region of radius $0.5ξ_0$ is estimated to be about $ηΔ_{0}/(k_{\rm F}ξ_0)\times|e|$ C per $Δz=1$ nm along the flux line at low temperatures, where $η\equivπε_0Δz/|e|^2=1.09\times10^{18}$ ${\rm{J^{-1}}}$ with $e<0$ the charge of an electron, $Δ_0$ the energy gap at $T=0$, $k_{\rm F}$ the Fermi wave number, and $ξ_0$ the coherence length at $T=0$.

Extending the Marshmallow Challenge: Team Building Exercise Based on Design Thinking
Creators: name: Meamber, Laurie
Publisher: name: Innovations in Teaching & Learning Conference Proceedings
Year: 2018
Subjects: collaborative learning

description: This activity builds upon The Marshmallow Challenge developed by Tom Wujek, and has been showcased among other places, on his website (https://www.tomwujec.com/), in a TED talk (https://www.ted.com/talks/tom_wujec_build_a_tower), and in the literature across a variety of disciplines. The purpose for using this activity has been twofold. First, the exercise introduces the concept of design thinking. Design thinking is a collaborative and systematic process for creative problem solving. The design thinking approach is used extensively in this course that asks students to work throughout the semester to develop a new product idea from concept to prototype, and to plan for product launch. Second, the exercise is the first of several that focus on team building. It is therefore applicable for courses in a range of disciplines that utilize team projects and/or to foster team work.


The goal of the exercise is for small teams to compete to create the tallest freestanding structure out of a limited set of materials provided by the instructor - 20 sticks of spaghetti, one yard of tape, one yard of string, and one marshmallow that must be placed at the top. The teams are given 18 minutes to complete the exercise. After the exercise is completed and a winner declared, the faculty member poses questions to the teams on factors that contributed to their success and failure, students watch the TED talk, and are debriefed by the faculty member. The students learn that successful innovation involves including multiple perspectives, each member's skills, and iterative trial and error.

description: By using local central Yukawa-type interactions that reproduce the low-energy parameters of the latest updates of the Nijmegen ESC08c potentials we show that the $NΞ$, $NNΞ$, $NΞΞ$ and $NNΞΞ$ systems with maximal isospin are bound. Since in these states the strong decay $NΞ\toΛΛ$ is forbidden by isospin conservation, these strange few-body systems will be stable under the strong interaction. These results may suggest that other states with different number of $N$'s and $Ξ$'s in the maximal isospin channel could also be bound.

Tied to the cosmos by the heartstrings: an exploratory case study of art therapy with an individual diagnosed with schizophrenia
Creators: name: Hirschhorn, Yael
Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Abstract: The focus of this thesis is to investigate the use of art therapy in the treatment of an individual diagnosed with schizophrenia. In this qualitative narrative single case study, eleven art therapy sessions are described using non-directive spontaneous art making with a 37-year-old man residing in a psychosocial rehabilitation program. The research study describes this client's delusional world, and explores the struggle of making sense of his traumatic experiences in early childhood. The themes that emerge in this exploratory study are many and grief and bereavement are the focus as the client uncovers the connections between the past and the present. The process of the art therapy sessions and the progression in the imagery from chaos to serenity is described as the client moves from darkness into light, and as we witness his exploration of space in the images of the whirlwind that reappear throughout the sessions.

description: The use of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has revolutionized cancer care, particularly in immune-inflamed tumors with high mutational burdens. However, their effectiveness in microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal cancer (CRC) is limited. This systematic review aims to evaluate the efficacy of ICIs in MSS CRC and explore promising combination strategies. A comprehensive search identified 52 clinical trials included in the review. Monotherapy with ICIs demonstrated limited clinical activity in MSS CRC, with response rates below 10%. Combination strategies involving tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), chemotherapy, and other tumor microenvironment modifications were investigated. Combination therapy with anti-VEGF agents yielded varying results, with some studies reporting improved outcomes. The combination of ICIs with chemotherapy showed promise, especially in early treatment settings. Additionally, combinations involving BRAF inhibitors, CAR-T therapy, and TGF beta inhibitors were studied, but further research is needed to optimize these approaches. Ongoing studies are evaluating various combination regimens, including ICI-TKI and ICI-chemotherapy. Patient stratification based on molecular subtypes, such as consensus molecular subtypes (CMS), may facilitate individualized treatment and improve outcomes. In conclusion, while ICI monotherapy has limited efficacy in MSS CRC, combination strategies hold promise for enhancing patient outcomes. Further research is necessary to identify optimal combination approaches and predictive biomarkers for treatment response.

description: Biomembranes and vesicles consisting of multiple phases can attain a multitude of shapes, undergoing complex shape transitions. We study a Cahn--Hilliard model on an evolving hypersurface coupled to Navier--Stokes equations on the surface and in the surrounding medium to model these phenomena. The evolution is driven by a curvature energy, modelling the elasticity of the membrane, and by a Cahn--Hilliard type energy, modelling line energy effects. A stable semidiscrete finite element approximation is introduced and, with the help of a fully discrete method, several phenomena occurring for two-phase membranes are computed.

description: We experimentally reveal the emergence of edge states in a photonic lattice with orbital bands. We use a two-dimensional honeycomb lattice of coupled micropillars whose bulk spectrum shows four gapless bands arising from the coupling of $p$-like photonic orbitals. We observe zero-energy edge states whose topological origin is similar to that of conventional edge states in graphene. Additionally, we report novel dispersive edge states that emerge not only in zigzag and bearded terminations, but also in armchair edges. The observations are reproduced by tight-binding and analytical calculations. Our work shows the potentiality of coupled micropillars in elucidating some of the electronic properties of emergent 2D materials with orbital bands.

Pretendeu-se, com a aplicação de um questionário, determinar até que ponto a aposta em Educação Ambiental na Escola Secundária de Santa Maria (Sintra), se tem traduzido tanto em novos conhecimentos quanto em novas atitudes, que uma vez adquiridos se integram e interrelacionam com o conhecimento prévio que o aluno possui. Os resultados obtidos permitiram verificar que ações ambientais promovidas durante a Educação Não Formal e Informal se refletem tanto em melhores desempenhos no Conhecimento Escolástico quanto nas Atitudes (apesar destas apresentarem piores resultados). O Conhecimento Informal apresentou desempenhos inferiores ao Conhecimento Escolástico e às Atitudes, refletindo a natureza da Comunidade onde os alunos estavam inseridos e a importância que esta atribui ao Ambiente. Mas, foram os alunos oriundos de agregados familiares com uma escolarização igual ou inferior ao nono ano que exibiram melhores Atitudes Ambientais e maiores desempenhos em Conhecimento Informal e Atitudes em contraste com os alunos provenientes de agregados familiares com formação de nível superior (Mestrado e Doutoramento). No Ensino Secundário, quanto mais jovens são os alunos melhores desempenhos evidenciam em Conhecimentos Escolásticos, e, são os mais velhos que mostram melhores Atitudes, o que corresponde a uma maior integração na sociedade como pré-adultos.

We use this technique to identify a graph which corresponds to an extreme form of quantum contextuality unnoticed before and test it using high-dimensional quantum states encoded in the linear transverse momentum of single photons. Our results open the door to the experimental exploration of quantum contextuality in all its forms, including those needed for quantum computation.

Year: 2023

description: The main goal of the PLATO mission is to detect and characterise exoplanets orbiting
 around bright solar-like stars, preferably close to the habitable zone. The PSM is commit-
 ting to providing, thanks to PLATO’s observations, determinations of mass, radius and age
 (MRA) with respectively an accuracy of 15%, 2% and 10% for G0V stars with a magnitude
 of mV = 10. The WP121 will provide grids of stellar evolution models, used to estimate,
 through an interpolation, the MRA of of each PLATO target. Three generations of grids
 are foreseen. In this presentation, we present the 1st generation grid: the physics chosen,
 the parameter space tested; and the stellar evolution code chosen to compute it: Cesam2k20
 (formerly known as CESTAM); and the path followed to validate these choices.

description: Several solutions exist for file storage, sharing, and synchronization. Many of them involve a central server, or a collection of servers, that either store the files, or act as a gateway for them to be shared. Some systems take a decentralized approach, wherein interconnected users form a peer-to-peer (P2P) network, and partake in the sharing process: they share the files they possess with others, and can obtain the files owned by other peers. In this paper, we survey various technologies, both cloud-based and P2P-based, that users use to synchronize their files across the network, and discuss their strengths and weaknesses.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Applications (stat.AP)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Density Estimation Trees (DETs) are decision trees trained on a multivariate dataset to estimate its probability density function. While not competitive with kernel techniques in terms of accuracy, they are incredibly fast, embarrassingly parallel and relatively small when stored to disk. These properties make DETs appealing in the resource-expensive horizon of the LHC data analysis. Possible applications may include selection optimization, fast simulation and fast detector calibration. In this contribution I describe the algorithm, made available to the HEP community in a RooFit implementation. A set of applications under discussion within the LHCb Collaboration are also briefly illustrated.

description: Anti-solar differential rotation (DR) profiles are characterized by a slow equator and fast rotating poles (reversed with respect to the Sun). They have been reported in numerous 3D numerical simulations over the last decades for slowly rotating solar-like models experiencing high Rossby numbers. However, unambiguous observation of anti-solar DR profiles is still pending for solar-type stars on the main-sequence, although it has been reported for later evolutionary stages.
 During their main-sequence, stars spin-down, which increases their Rossby number and could induce a transition toward an anti-solar DR state. Such a rotational transition would have an impact on the large-scale dynamo process, activity and angular momentum evolution for old solar-type stars.

 We show in this work the development of a new theoretical formula in order to estimate the effective fluid Rossby number Rof of solar-type stars. We express it as a function of observational quantities such as Teff and Prot, while considering several aspects, such as structure, evolutionary stage, and metallicity. We then quantify the fluid Rossby number of the most recent Kepler catalog of rotational periods by Santos et al. (2019, 2021).
 After sanity checks, we obtain 22 targets experiencing high Rossby numbers and being promising candidates to host anti-solar differential rotation. The method can then be applied to future PLATO observations in order to extend this sample, whose future characterization would increase our understanding of magnetic and rotational evolution of solar-type stars. For that purpose, the formula we developed here will be implemented in the mission analysis pipeline.
A hierarchical Bayesian approach for reconstructing the Initial Mass Function of Single Stellar Populations

description: Recent studies based on the integrated light of distant galaxies suggest that the initial mass function (IMF) might not be universal. Variations of the IMF with galaxy type and/or formation time may have important consequences for our understanding of galaxy evolution. We have developed a new stellar population synthesis (SPS) code specifically designed to reconstruct the IMF. We implement a novel approach combining regularization with hierarchical Bayesian inference. Within this approach we use a parametrized IMF prior to regulate a direct inference of the IMF. This direct inference gives more freedom to the IMF and allows the model to deviate from parametrized models when demanded by the data. We use Markov Chain Monte Carlo sampling techniques to reconstruct the best parameters for the IMF prior, the age, and the metallicity of a single stellar population. We present our code and apply our model to a number of mock single stellar populations with different ages, metallicities, and IMFs. When systematic uncertainties are not significant, we are able to reconstruct the input parameters that were used to create the mock populations. Our results show that if systematic uncertainties do play a role, this may introduce a bias on the results. Therefore, it is important to objectively compare different ingredients of SPS models. Through its Bayesian framework, our model is well-suited for this.

Emotional Labors: Organizing Long-Term Care Workers in Chicago during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Creators: name: Melton, Virginia Hope
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2022

description: The COVID-19 pandemic has labeled care workers as “essential,” raising questions about the distance between the social lauding of the profession and the felt value by these workers who, in the United States, number many women of color. This paper qualitatively evaluates the content of eleven oral histories and one interview by nurses and nursing assistants to consider whether and how these workers negotiate their marginal identities at individual and collective levels to agitate for change. I merge individual-level identity literature on gendered and racialized approaches to labor with social movement theory about union efficacy and collective power-building. I find that, even as care workers do not invoke their marginal identities as the primary contributing stressor to their experience of work during COVID-19, these workers and the labor unions that represent them emphasize their personal vulnerability to the pandemic’s effects yet collective strength in opposition to managerial bodies. The outcomes of this project iterate the need for continued sociological investigation of all types of care workers’ experiences of work, as socio-economic stratification within their profession and their lives at large continues.

The total cross section and angular distribution of the process was calculated. As the result of the comparison with the data it was shown that ASR approach provides their good description in the regions far from the pole. Also there was proposed a method allowing to give reasonable description of data in the region of pole within the ASR approach. The strong restrictions for the parameters of the modified ASR approach were obtained.

description: The source 4U 1702-429 (Ara X-1) is a low-mass X-ray binary system hosting a neutron star. Albeit the source is quite bright ( $\sim10^{37}$ erg s$^{-1}$) its broadband spectrum has never been studied. Neither dips nor eclipses have been observed in the light curve suggesting that its inclination angle is smaller than 60$^{\circ}$.We analysed the broadband spectrum of 4U 1702-429 in the 0.3-60 keV energy range, using XMM-Newton and INTEGRAL data, to constrain its Compton reflection component if it is present. After excluding the three time intervals in which three type-I X-ray bursts occurred, we fitted the joint XMM-Newton and INTEGRAL spectra obtained from simultaneous observations. A broad emission line at 6.7 keV and two absorption edges at 0.87 and 8.82 keV were detected. We found that a self-consistent reflection model fits the 0.3-60 keV spectrum well. The broadband continuum is composed of an emission component originating from the inner region of the accretion disc, a Comptonised direct emission coming from a corona with an electron temperature of $2.63 \pm 0.06$ keV and an optical depth $τ=13.6 \pm 0.2$, and, finally, a reflection component. The best-fit indicates that the broad emission line and the absorption edge at 8.82 keV, both associated with the presence of \ion{Fe}{xxv} ions, are produced by reflection in the region above the disc with a ionisation parameter of $Log(ξ) \simeq 2.7$. We have inferred that the inner radius, where the broad emission line originates, is $64^{+52}_{-15}$ km, and the inner radius of the accretion disc is $39^{+6}_{-8}$ km. (Abridged)

Improving control-flow analysis of higher-order languages
Creators: name: Lyde, Steven
Publisher: name: University of Utah
Year: 2016

description: Control-flow analysis of higher-order languages is a difficult problem, yet  an important one. It aids in enabling optimizations, improved reliability, and improved security of programs written in these languages. This dissertation explores three techniques to improve the precision and speed of a small-step abstract interpreter: using a priority work list, environment unrolling, and strong function call. In an abstract interpreter, the interpreter is no longer deterministic and choices can be made in how the abstract state space is explored and trade-offs exist. A priority queue is one option. There are also many ways to abstract the concrete interpreter. Environment unrolling gives a slightly different approach than is usually taken, by holding off abstraction in order to gain precision, which can lead to a faster analysis. Strong function call is an approach to clean up some of the imprecision when making a function call that is introduced when abstractly interpreting a program. An alternative approach to building an abstract interpreter to perform static analysis is through the use of constraint solving. Existing techniques to do this have been developed over the last several decades. This dissertation maps these constraints to three different problems, allowing control-flow analysis of higher-order languages to be solved with tools that are already mature and well developed. The control-flow problem is mapped to pointer analysis of first-order languages, SAT, and linear-algebra operations. These mappings allow for fast and parallel implementations of control-flow analysis of higher-order languages. A recent development in the field of static analysis has been pushdown control-flow analysis, which is able to precisely match calls and returns, a weakness in the existing techniques. This dissertation also provides an encoding of pushdown control-flow analysis to linear-algebra operations. In the process, it demonstrates that under certain conditions (monovariance and flow insensitivity) that in terms of precision, a pushdown control-flow analysis is in fact equivalent to a direct style constraint-based formulation.

description: Most deep anomaly detection models are based on learning normality from datasets due to the difficulty of defining abnormality by its diverse and inconsistent nature. Therefore, it has been a common practice to learn normality under the assumption that anomalous data are absent in a training dataset, which we call normality assumption. However, in practice, the normality assumption is often violated due to the nature of real data distributions that includes anomalous tails, i.e., a contaminated dataset. Thereby, the gap between the assumption and actual training data affects detrimentally in learning of an anomaly detection model. In this work, we propose a learning framework to reduce this gap and achieve better normality representation. Our key idea is to identify sample-wise normality and utilize it as an importance weight, which is updated iteratively during the training. Our framework is designed to be model-agnostic and hyperparameter insensitive so that it applies to a wide range of existing methods without careful parameter tuning. We apply our framework to three different representative approaches of deep anomaly detection that are classified into one-class classification-, probabilistic model-, and reconstruction-based approaches. In addition, we address the importance of a termination condition for iterative methods and propose a termination criterion inspired by the anomaly detection objective. We validate that our framework improves the robustness of the anomaly detection models under different levels of contamination ratios on five anomaly detection benchmark datasets and two image datasets. On various contaminated datasets, our framework improves the performance of three representative anomaly detection methods, measured by area under the ROC curve.

description: Current particle transport models describe the propagation of charged particles across the mean field direction in turbulent plasmas as diffusion. However, recent studies suggest that at short time-scales, such as soon after solar energetic particle (SEP) injection, particles remain on turbulently meandering field lines, which results in non-diffusive initial propagation across the mean magnetic field. In this work, we use a new technique to investigate how the particles are displaced from their original field lines, and quantify the parameters of the transition from field-aligned particle propagation along meandering field lines to particle diffusion across the mean magnetic field. We show that the initial decoupling of the particles from the field lines is slow, and particles remain within a Larmor radius from their initial meandering field lines for tens to hundreds of Larmor periods, for 0.1-10 MeV protons in turbulence conditions typical of the solar wind at 1~AU. Subsequently, particles decouple from their initial field lines and after hundreds to thousands of Larmor periods reach time-asymptotic diffusive behaviour consistent with particle diffusion across the mean field caused by the meandering of the field lines. We show that the typical duration of the pre-diffusive phase, hours to tens of hours for 10 MeV protons in 1~AU solar wind turbulence conditions, is significant for SEP propagation to 1~AU and must be taken into account when modelling SEP propagation in the interplanetary space.

description: We present new (3+1)D numerical relativity simulations of the binary neutron star (BNS) merger and postmerger phase. We focus on a previously inaccessible region of the binary parameter space spanning the binary's mass-ratio $q\sim1.00-1.75$ for different total masses and equations of state, and up to $q\sim2$ for a stiff BNS system. We study the mass-ratio effect on the gravitational waves (GWs) and on the possible electromagnetic emission associated to dynamical mass ejecta. We compute waveforms, spectra, and spectrograms of the GW strain including all the multipoles up to $l=4$. The mass-ratio has a specific imprint on the GW multipoles in the late-inspiral-merger signal, and it affects qualitatively the spectra of the merger remnant. The multipole effect is also studied by considering the dependency of the GW spectrograms on the source's sky location. Unequal mass BNSs produce more ejecta than equal mass systems with ejecta masses and kinetic energies depending almost linearly on $q$. We estimate luminosity peaks and light curves of macronovae events associated to the mergers using a simple approach. For $q\sim2$ the luminosity peak is delayed for several days and can be up to four times larger than for the $q=1$ cases. The macronova emission associated with the $q\sim2$ BNS is more persistent in time and could be observed for weeks instead of few days ($q=1$) in the near infrared. Finally, we estimate the flux of possible radio flares produced by the interaction of relativistic outflows with the surrounding medium. Also in this case a large $q$ can significantly enhance the emission and delay the peak luminosity. Overall, our results indicate that BNS merger with large mass ratio have EM signatures distinct from the equal mass case and more similar to black hole - neutron star binaries.

description: Climate variability influence on the vine is widely studied for its impact on grape final composition and quality. During 1994-2016, thermal and water regimes and their influence on grapevine yield, sanitary status and berry composition were analyzed for 'Tannat' grown in commercial vineyards in the south of Uruguay (Lat 34° 37' S; 56° 17' W). Statistical analysis showed that the principal component analysis (PCA) separated years in three groups: Group 1: rainfall over the growing season higher than the average, limited sanitary status, acidity and yield higher than average, lower sugar content, late harvest. Group 2: greater thermal conditions and water component lower than average, better sanitary status, sugar contents and acidity lower than average, early harvest. Group 3: thermal conditions lower than average, rainfall higher during budbreak-fruitset period and lower than average in the month before harvest, berry size and sugar contents greater than average. Correlations between climate, yield and berry quality variables were established and stages of greater sensitivity to these climate elements were determined. In the studied years, climate variability within the region was high and 'Tannat' showed to be strongly influenced by such variability.

Judgements as social narrative: an empirical investigation of appeal judgements in closely contested parenting disputes in the Family Court of Australia 1988-1999

Publisher: name: La Trobe
Year: 2023

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Institute for Education, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

Abstract: The thesis is divided into two sections. Section 1 explores the psycho-social and legal constructions of family, parenting and children that have influenced judicial decision-making in parenting disputes following separation and divorce. Particular attention is paid, first, to the circumstances surrounding the shift from paternal to maternally-based presumptions about the parenting of children; and second, to the more recent and somewhat puzzling shift to a presumption of gender neutrality. The extent to which fault has continued as a less overt decision-making criterion is also considered. In Section 2, judgements in recent closely contested parenting cases in the Family Court of Australia are analysed as contemporary socio-legal narratives. A systematic, in-depth examination of a heterogeneous sample of publicly accessible cases revealed that gender-based assumptions continue to dominate judicial thinking about parenting and family structure. In particular, it was found that outcomes that favoured mothers correlated with perceived evidence of conformity to a maternal stereotype of self-sacrifice on behalf of the child(ren). Outcomes favouring fathers usually resulted from situations in which mothers were judged to fall short of these stereotyped expectations. Fathers' roles, even in cases in which their applications were successful, generally continued to be equated with breadwinning and support. Their capacities as nurturers to their children were either not mentioned or treated with scepticism. In the light of the findings, tensions between continuing gender-based roles in families, public attitudes to parenting and preferred family structure, and recent changes in our scientific knowledge base regarding gender and parenting are reviewed. Implications of the persistence of the breadwinning/nurturing dichotomy both within the Australian culture and family court judgements are discussed. Particular attention is drawn to the impact of the confused circumstances in which gender-neutral parenting principles came about in the 1970s.

description: We present the results of a cluster search in the Fermi-LAT Pass 8 gamma-ray sky by means of the Minimum Spanning Tree algorithm, at energies higher than 10 GeV and at Galactic latitudes higher than 25 degrees. The selected clusters have a minimum number of photons higher than or equal to 5, a high degree of concentration, and are without a clear corresponding counterpart in blazar catalogues. A sample of 30 possible gamma-ray sources was obtained. These objects were verified by applying the standard Maximum Likelihood analysis on the Fermi-LAT data. A search for possible radio counterparts in a circle having a radius of 6 arcmin was performed, finding several interesting objects, the majority of them without optical spectroscopical data. These can be considered as new blazar candidates. Some of them were already noticed as possible blazars or Active Galactic Nuclei in previous surveys, but never associated with high energy emission. These possible counterparts are reported and their properties are discussed.
