description: Contrasts between beta relaxation in equilibrium viscous liquids and glasses are rationalized in terms of a double-well potential model with structure-dependent asymmetry, assuming structure is described by a single order parameter. The model is tested for tripropylene glycol where it accounts for the hysteresis of the dielectric beta loss peak frequency and magnitude during cooling and reheating through the glass transition.

Feeling Spaces: Grounding the Body in Architectural Atmosphere
Creators: name: Kenna, Francis
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: How do atmospheres ground the subject through embodied experiences of space? This thesis is an argument for embodiment and duration in architectural space, a theory of spatial hospitality that attempts to make some room for the subject as a spatial being. My research has proceeded over two lines of inquiry: on the one hand a dissertation forming a phenomenological study of contemporary atmospheric spatial practices, and on the other a practice-led studio investigation exploring perception, duration and the unfolded embodied experience of atmospheric spaces. By its very nature the concept of atmosphere is vague and diffuse. In these spaces, the felt experience of atmosphere acts upon individuals within their surroundings, which in turn are being co-constituted by that subject. At its core, this dissertation is an ontological study of subjectivity and atmosphere in the perceptual environments and spaces produced by artists Robert Irwin (1928 - ), James Turrell (1943 - ) and Olafur Eliasson (1967 - ) and architect Peter Zumthor (1943 - ). I argue that the intertwining of perception, embodiment and temporality enables a phenomenological understanding of subjectivity that is grounded in local spaces through atmosphere. These atmospheric environments unfold as an open exchange between viewer, object and environment that subverts the static in favour of the mutable encounter and opens the object up to the time and place of this encounter. Atmospheres unfold between a space and its inhabitant - a topological experience of space that is co-produced with the subject through their perceptual, embodied and temporal engagement. The dissertation is deeply tied to its other half: an expanded practice-led studio investigation exploring space, time and the embodied experience of atmosphere. My practice-led research has taken the form of a series of spatial installations and atmospheric interventions in architectural spaces that make room for the embodied subject, structures that emerge as diffuse multisensory atmospheres. Central to this investigation is the contingency of perceptual experiences that stretch the feeling of the "now" - the meeting of light and materials, scale, the haptic quality of a space, colour, surface, shadow, movement, openings and thresholds. These experiential qualities open up embodied-durational structures through the multisensory, topological experience of felt space. That is, a spatiality that is grounded in the subject and the active relationships of inhabiting space - lived space that is not abstract or sublime but simply an unfolding of our phenomenological contact with the world.

Dynamic Mathematics for Automated Machine Learning Techniques
Creators: name: Kuo, Nicholas
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: Machine Learning and Neural Networks have been gaining popularity and are widely considered as the driving force of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. However, modern machine learning techniques such as backpropagation training was firmly established in 1986 while computer vision was revolutionised in 2012 with the introduction of AlexNet. Given all these accomplishments, why are neural networks still not an integral part of our society? ``Because they are difficult to implement in practice.'' I'd like to use machine learning, but I can't invest much time. The concept of Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) was first proposed by Professor Frank Hutter of the University of Freiburg. Machine learning is not simple; it requires a practitioner to have thorough understanding on the attributes of their data and the components which their model entails. AutoML is the effort to automate all tedious aspects of machine learning to form a clean data analysis pipeline. This thesis is our effort to develop and to understand ways to automate machine learning. Specifically, we focused on Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), Meta-Learning, and Continual Learning. We studied continual learning to enable a network to sequentially acquire skills in a dynamic environment; we studied meta-learning to understand how a network can be configured efficiently; and we studied RNNs to understand the consequences of consecutive actions. Our RNN-study focused on mathematical interpretability. We described a large variety of RNNs as one mathematical class to understand their core network mechanism. This enabled us to extend meta-learning beyond network configuration for network pruning and continual learning. This also provided insights for us to understand how a single network should be consecutively configured and led us to the creation of a simple generic patch that is compatible to several existing continual learning archetypes. This patch enhanced the robustness of continual learning techniques and allowed them to generalise data better. By and large, this thesis presented a series of extensions to enable AutoML to be made simple, efficient, and robust. More importantly, all of our methods are motivated with mathematical understandings through the lens of dynamical systems. Thus, we also increased the interpretability of AutoML concepts.

description: Though integration has been well worked over by agricultural economists, it still deserves further thought, because of differences in the insight and outlook of people, and partly because integration deals with topics of enduring interest—shifting enterprise combinations. In this paper, the author discusses a few significant facts and ideas about integration that are not widely appreciated and, anyway, do merit restatement since they will help economists to focus on emerging problems. Some of the ideas in the paper were presented at the Western Regional Marketing Workshop for extension workers in agricultural marketing at Salt Lake City in 1961.

description: We show that scattering from the boundary of static, higher-order topological insulators (HOTIs) can be used to simulate the behavior of (time-periodic) Floquet topological insulators. We consider D-dimensional HOTIs with gapless corner states which are weakly probed by external waves in a scattering setup. We find that the unitary reflection matrix describing back-scattering from the boundary of the HOTI is topologically equivalent to a (D-1)-dimensional nontrivial Floquet operator. To characterize the topology of the reflection matrix, we introduce the concept of `nested' scattering matrices. Our results provide a route to engineer topological Floquet systems in the lab without the need for external driving. As benefit, the topological system does not to suffer from decoherence and heating.

 Ligyrus guianucai Dechambre and Lumaret 1985: 107 (New Synonymy).
 Tomarus rubripes was described from, supposedly, Montivideo, Uruguay, although this simply may have been a port-of-call for the frigate Eugenie on which the specimens were transported back to Sweden. The male holotype is in NHRS, and we examined multiple images, including the parameres. In our examination of numerous collections holding Tomarus specimens from the study area, we have never seen specimens of T. rubripes from Uruguay or Argentina, although we have seen specimens from Brazil. We have no definitive evidence that T. rubripes occurs in the study area.
 Tomarus guianucai was described by Dechambre and Lumaret (1985) from Cassino Beach, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil; this locality is adjacent to Uruguay. Examination of the types of both species reveals that they are conspecific, and T. guianucai is here reduced to junior synonymy with T. rubripes. Dechambre and Lumaret made no mention of examining the type of T. rubripes when they described T. guianucai and so did not recognize the similarities between the two.

Cultivating Populism: The Politics of Agroecology in Cordoba, Argentina
Creators: name: McNamara, Owen
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: While Argentina may be a classic location in studies of populism, agroecologists are far from the traditional imagery of Peronist subjects. Unlike the unionized factory worker of Peronist lore, agroecologists are members of an alternative farming movement which uses the symbiotic relationships between plants to produce chemical free food. Working in Cordoba, Argentina, I sought to understand how agroecologists had become unlikely, yet reliable, members of the Peronist, political coalition. Liberal theories of politics suggest an idealist, immaterial conception of "the political." This is doubly the case for populism, which is read by liberals as well as by more revolutionary thinkers as purely discursive: the empty promises of a demagogue. Such understandings leave little room for examining the role in political subjectivation played by the plants and agroecological matter with which my interlocutors engaged. Where anthropologists have long argued for the importance of ecologies to shaping "the political" writ large, materialist and environmental anthropology have paid scant attention to populism. Based upon fifteen months ethnographic research with agroecologists, in this thesis I trouble conventional understandings of populism. I suggest that populism is an ideology and that this ideological commitment is fomented through engagement with the material world. My thesis suggests a novel approach to understanding populism, as well as engaging in debates concerning the politics of masculinity, embodiment, and environmentalisms.

description: Empirical studies of plant costs and efficiency always have stressed the importance of both size of plant and length of operating season on the level and shape of the economies of scale curve as well as the technical organization of production implied in it. Because most processing firms are integrated systems of product assembly, processing, and distribution, the minimum- cost combination of plant size and hours operated must be considered in terms of total operation, not of any single "stage" or component. This paper presents a method for determining optimum combinations of hours of operation and size of plant (as measured by rates of output) for two components, field and plant operations, of an integrated system of preparing lima beans for freezing. Though the analysis is oriented to only two "stages" and a particular product, the authors are hopeful that it may point the way toward extension to addi-tional "stages" and other products.

description: Background and purpose — The optimal type and duration of antibiotic prophylaxis for primary arthroplasty of the hip and knee are subject to debate. We compared the risk of complete revision (obtained by a 1- or 2-stage procedure) for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) after primary total hip or knee arthroplasty between patients receiving a single dose of prophylactic antibiotics and patients receiving multiple doses of antibiotics for prevention of PJI. Patients and methods — A cohort of 130,712 primary total hip and 111,467 knee arthroplasties performed between 2011 and 2015 in the Netherlands was analyzed. We linked data from the Dutch arthroplasty register to a survey collected across all Dutch institutions on hospital-level antibiotic prophylaxis policy. We used restricted cubic spline Poisson models adjusted for hospital clustering to compare the risk of revision for infection according to type and duration of antibiotic prophylaxis received. Results — For total hip arthroplasties, the rates of revision for infection were 31/10,000 person-years (95% CI 28–35), 39 (25–59), and 23 (15–34) in the groups that received multiple doses of cefazolin, multiple doses of cefuroxime, and a single dose of cefazolin, respectively. The rates for knee arthroplasties were 27/10,000 person-years (95% CI 24–31), 40 (24–62), and 24 (16–36). Similar risk of complete revision for infection among antibiotic prophylaxis regimens was found when adjusting for confounders. Interpretation — In a large observational cohort we found no apparent association between the type or duration of antibiotic prophylaxis and the risk of complete revision for infection. This does question whether there is any advantage to the use of prolonged antibiotic prophylaxis beyond a single dose.

description: Matrix algebra has become a familiar research tool in recent years, but the teaching and learning problem is still formidable for many individuals. The purpose of this paper is to present a simple generalpurpose method of handling matrices for solving simultaneous equations, including those involved in regression and linear programming problems. High-speed computers and different methods are now used in most practical analysis in this field, but teaching must rely on manual approaches to illustrate the mathematical principles. The method presented here is believed to shorten learning time .and reduce the memory burden. In short, this is an introduction to matrix algebra in one easy lesson.

On the Theory of Vibronic Superradiance

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Optics (physics.optics)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Dicke superradiance on vibronic transitions of impurity crystals is considered. It is shown that parameters of the superradiance (duration and intensity of the superradiance pulse and delay times) on each vibronic transition depend on the strength of coupling of electronic states with the intramolecular impurity vibration (responsible for the vibronic structure of the optical spectrum in the form of vibrational replicas of the pure electronic line) and on the crystal temperature through the Debye-Waller factor of the lattice vibrations. Theoretical estimates of the ratios of the time delays, as well as of the superradiance pulse intensities for different vibronic transitions well agree with the results of experimental observations of two-color superradiance in the polar dielectric KCl:O2-. In addition, the theory describes qualitatively correctly the critical temperature dependence of the superradiance effect.

description: We report the discovery of a spiral-like nebula with the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) and the results of optical spectroscopy of its associated star TYC 8606-2025-1 with the Southern African Large Telescope (SALT). We find that TYC 8606-2025-1 is a G8 III star of $\approx3$ M$_\odot$, showing a carbon depletion by a factor of two and a nitrogen enhancement by a factor of three. We also derived an excess of s-process elements, most strongly for barium, which is a factor of three overabundant, indicating that TYC 8606-2025-1 is a mild barium star. We thereby add a new member to the small group of barium stars with circumstellar nebulae. Our radial velocity measurements indicate that TYC 8606-2025-1 has an unseen binary companion. The advanced evolutionary stage of TYC 8606-2025-1, together with the presence of a circumstellar nebula, implies an initial mass of the companion of also about 3 M$_\odot$. We conclude that the infrared nebula, due to its spiral shape, and because it has no optical counterpart, was ejected by the companion as a consequence of a very late thermal pulse, during about one orbital rotation.

description: We generalize the standard computation of homogeneous nucleation theory at zero temperature to a scenario in which the bubble shape is determined self-consistently with its quantum fluctuations. Studying two scalar models in 1+1 dimensions, we find the self-consistent bounce by employing a two-particle irreducible (2PI) effective action in imaginary time at the level of the Hartree approximation. We thus obtain an effective single bounce action which determines the rate exponent. We use collective coordinates to account for the translational invariance and the growth instability of the bubble and finally present a new nucleation rate prefactor. We compare the results with those obtained using the standard 1-loop approximation and show that the self-consistent rate can differ by several orders of magnitude.

description: Data privacy has emerged as an important issue as data-driven deep learning has been an essential component of modern machine learning systems. For instance, there could be a potential privacy risk of machine learning systems via the model inversion attack, whose goal is to reconstruct the input data from the latent representation of deep networks. Our work aims at learning a privacy-preserving and task-oriented representation to defend against such model inversion attacks. Specifically, we propose an adversarial reconstruction learning framework that prevents the latent representations decoded into original input data. By simulating the expected behavior of adversary, our framework is realized by minimizing the negative pixel reconstruction loss or the negative feature reconstruction (i.e., perceptual distance) loss. We validate the proposed method on face attribute prediction, showing that our method allows protecting visual privacy with a small decrease in utility performance. In addition, we show the utility-privacy trade-off with different choices of hyperparameter for negative perceptual distance loss at training, allowing service providers to determine the right level of privacy-protection with a certain utility performance. Moreover, we provide an extensive study with different selections of features, tasks, and the data to further analyze their influence on privacy protection.

Personality, social environment, and maternal-level effects: insights from a wild kangaroo population
Creators: name: Menario Costa, Weliton
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: The study of animal 'personality', or consistent individual differences in behaviour, has received much attention in the last two decades, but several important questions remain unclear. In particular, how important is individual personality in shaping behaviour, relative to the effects of an individual's immediate social environment? What is the interplay between individual and group effects on behavioural variation: in particular, for social species, is variation between groups in behaviour shaped by the personalities of key individuals, or by all individuals in a group? And how early in life are consistent differences in behaviour between individuals detectable? In this thesis, I address these issues using a study of a population of wild eastern grey kangaroos (Macropus giganteus Shaw 1790) in Victoria, Australia, in which marked individuals have been monitored since 2008. Eastern grey kangaroos are social animals living in fusion-fission groups, and previous work on the species has shown evidence of repeatable individual variation in behaviour, or 'personalities'. However, previous personality analyses in this species did not consider the role of among-group variance in behaviour, and were limited to adult females. There is also very little known - for any species - about the effect of among-mother variance on the behavioural differences found between individuals, and hence of the contribution of maternal effects to the magnitude of individual repeatability. Here, I used a combination of experimental tests and behavioural observations to address three main questions: (1) What is the relative importance of individual repeatability versus among-group variance in behavioural responses to a series of experimental stimuli? (2) Are group-level responses driven by collective behaviour of all individuals in the group, or by the behaviour of particular individuals? (3) How early in life is among-individual variance in behaviour apparent, and to what extent is it shaped by maternal-level effects causing differences between offspring of different mothers? The thesis provides a comprehensive illustration of the importance of considering social context when studying animal behaviour in the wild, building on and contributing to work in the fields of behavioural and evolutionary ecology. It is composed of five chapters: a general introduction, three data chapters, and a general discussion. In the introduction, I establish the rationale for the boundaries of my research through a comprehensive literature review. In the data chapters, I address the three main questions listed above, for which I used phenotypic data on over 300 individual eastern grey kangaroos across a decade; hence, the data chapters are interconnected parts of a single large piece of work. Finally, in the discussion, I set up the general considerations, limitations, and next steps from my work.

BACKGROUND: The histone deacetylase inhibitor vorinostat (VOR) can reverse human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) latency in vivo and allow T cells to clear infected cells in vitro. HIV-specific T cells (HXTCs) can be expanded ex vivo and have been safely administered to people with HIV (PWH) on antiretroviral therapy. METHODS: Six PWH received infusions of 2 × 107 HXTCs/m² with VOR 400 mg, and 3 PWH received infusions of 10 × 107 HXTCs/m² with VOR. The frequency of persistent HIV by multiple assays including quantitative viral outgrowth assay (QVOA) of resting CD4+ T cells was measured before and after study therapy. RESULTS: VOR and HXTCs were safe, and biomarkers of serial VOR effect were detected, but enhanced antiviral activity in circulating cells was not evident. After 2 × 107 HXTCs/m² with VOR, 1 of 6 PWH exhibited a decrease in QVOA, and all 3 PWH exhibited such declines after 10 × 107 HXTCs/m² and VOR. However, most declines did not exceed the 6-fold threshold needed to definitively attribute decline to the study intervention. CONCLUSIONS: These modest effects provide support for the strategy of HIV latency reversal and reservoir clearance, but more effective interventions are needed to yield the profound depletion of persistent HIV likely to yield clinical benefit.

description: The results of the first directional point-contact measurements in MgB2 single crystals, in the presence of magnetic fields up to 9 T either parallel or perpendicular to the ab planes, are presented. By applying suitable magnetic fields, we separated the partial contributions of the sigma and pi bands to the total Andreev-reflection conductance. Their fit with the BTK model allowed a very accurate determination of the temperature dependency of the gaps (Delta_sigma and Delta_pi), that resulted in close agreement with the predictions of the two-band models for MgB2. We also obtained, for the first time with point-contact spectroscopy, the temperature dependence of the (anisotropic) upper critical field of the sigma band and of the (isotropic) upper critical field of the pi band.

description: In this work, we propose a $3D$ ensemble measure for center-vortex worldlines and chains equipped with non-Abelian degrees of freedom. We derive an effective field description for the center-element average where the vortices get represented by $N$ flavors of effective Higgs fields transforming in the fundamental representation. This field content is required to accommodate fusion rules where $N$ vortices can be created out of the vacuum. The inclusion of the chain sector, formed by center-vortex worldlines attached to pointlike defects, leads to a discrete set of $Z(N)$ vacua. This type of SSB pattern supports the formation of a stable domain wall between quarks, thus accommodating not only a linear potential but also the Lüscher term. Moreover, after a detailed analysis of the associated field equations, the asymptotic string tension turns out to scale with the quadratic Casimir of the antisymmetric quark representation. These behaviors reproduce those derived from Monte Carlo simulations in $SU(N)$ $3D$ Yang-Mills theory, which lacked understanding in the framework of confinement as due to percolating magnetic defects.

description: Alkaline-earth atoms in their lowest triplet P_2 state are exceptionally long-lived and can be trapped magnetically. The nonspherical atomic structure leads to anisotropic long-range interactions between two metastable alkaline-earth atoms. The anisotropy affects the rotational motion of the diatomic system and couples states of different rotational quantum numbers. We develop a tensorial decomposition of the most important long-range interaction operators, and a systematic inclusion of molecular rotations, in the presence of an external magnetic field. The consequences are illustrated by application to metastable strontium. The coupling among molecular rotational states is demonstrated to induce the formation of a long-range molecular potential well. Its properties vary as a function of magnetic-field strength, thus allowing the scattering length in this state to be tuned. The scattering length of metastable strontium displays a resonance at a field of 339 Gauss.

description: The dynamics of star polymers has been investigated via extensive Molecular- and Brownian Dynamics simulations for a large range of functionality $f$ and packing fraction $η$. The calculated isodiffusivity curves display both minima and maxima as a function of $η$ and minima as a function of $f$. Simulation results are compared with theoretical predictions based on different approximations for the structure factor. In particular, the ideal glass transition line predicted by mode-coupling theory is shown to exactly track the isodiffusivity curves, offering a theoretical understanding for the observation of disordered arrested states in star polymer solutions.

description: Background and purpose — Survivorship of total hip arthroplasty (THA) with the ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) monoblock cup has been limited due to periprosthetic osteolysis and aseptic loosening, secondary to wear of the UHMWPE. In response, a vitamin E blended highly cross-linked polyethylene (HXLPE) cup was developed. This study set out to compare the wear and clinical 6-year outcomes of vitamin E blended HXLPE with UHMWPE in an isoelastic monoblock cup in patients with hip osteoarthritis who underwent uncemented THA. The 2-year results have been reported previously. Patients and methods — For this randomized controlled trial 199 patients were included. 102 patients received the vitamin E blended HXLPE uncemented acetabular cup and 97 patients the uncemented UHMWPE monoblock cup. Clinical and radiographic parameters were obtained preoperatively, directly postoperatively, and at 3, 12, 24, and 72 months. Wear rates were compared using the femoral head penetration (FHP) rate. Results — 173 patients (87%) completed the 6-year follow-up. The mean NRS scores for rest pain, load pain, and patient satisfaction were 0.3 (SD 1), 0.6 (SD 1), and 8.6 (SD 1) respectively. The mean Harris Hip Score was 93 (SD 12). The FHP rate was lower in the vitamin E blended HXLPE cup (0.028 mm/year) compared with the UHMWPE cup (0.035 mm/year) (p = 0.002). No adverse reactions associated with the clinical application of vitamin E blended HXLPE were observed. 15 complications occurred, equally distributed between the two cups. The 6-year survival to revision rate was 98% for both cups. There was no aseptic loosening. Interpretation — This study shows the superior performance of the HXLPE blended with vitamin E acetabular cup with clinical and radiographic results similar to the UHMWPE acetabular cup.

description:
Background: Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States with the majority of cases occurring in the Northeast, upper Midwest, and mid-Atlantic regions. While historically considered a low incidence state, North Carolina (NC) has reported an increasing number of cases over the past decade. Therefore, the aim of this study was to characterise the spatiotemporal evolution of Lyme disease in NC from 2010 to 2020. Methods: Confirmed and probable cases reported to the NC Division of Public Health without associated travel to high-transmission state were included in the analysis. The study period was divided into four sub-periods and data were aggregated by zip code of residence. The absolute change in incidence was mapped and spatial autocorrelation analyses were performed within each sub-period. Findings: We identified the largest absolute changes in incidence in zip codes located in northwestern NC along the Appalachian Mountains. The spatial distribution of cases became increasingly clustered over the study period (Moran's I of 0.012, p = 0.127 in 2010-2012 vs. 0.403, p < 0.0001 in 2019-2020). Identified clusters included 22 high-incidence zip codes in the 2019-2020 sub-period, largely overlapping with the same areas experiencing the greatest absolute changes in disease incidence. Interpretation: Lyme disease has rapidly emerged in northwestern NC with some zip codes reporting incidence rates similar to historically high incidence regions across the US Northeast, mid-Atlantic, and upper Midwest. Efforts are urgently needed to raise awareness among medical providers to prevent excess morbidity. Funding: Funding was provided by a "Creativity Hub" award from the UNC Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research. Additional support was provided by Southeastern Center of Excellence in Vector Borne Diseases (U01CK000662).
IR Dynamics from UV Divergences: UV/IR Mixing, NCFT, and the Hierarchy Problem

description: The persistence of the hierarchy problem points to a violation of effective field theory expectations. A compelling possibility is that this results from a physical breakdown of EFT, which may arise from correlations between ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) physics. To this end, we study noncommutative field theory (NCFT) as a toy model of UV/IR mixing which generates an emergent infrared scale from ultraviolet dynamics. We explore the range of such theories where ultraviolet divergences are transmogrified into infrared scales, focusing particularly on the properties of Yukawa theory, where we identify a new infrared pole accessible in the $s$-channel of the Lorentzian theory. We further investigate the interplay between UV-finiteness and UV/IR mixing by studying properties of the softly-broken noncommutative Wess-Zumino model as soft terms are varied relative to the cutoff. While the Lorentz violation inherent to noncommutative theories may limit their direct application to the hierarchy problem, these toy models provide general lessons to guide the realization of UV/IR mixing in more realistic theories.
