VI.2006; NIWA 29670, 1 male (tcl 17.0 mm, cl 7.1 mm), 1 female (tcl 16.0 mm, cl 7.2 mm), 3 ov. females (cl 7.0– 8.3 mm), Zombie Seamount, 42°45.76–45.45’S, 179°55.51–55.36’E, 1019–1081 m, TAN0604/09, with mixed corals and sponge, 28. V.2006.
 Remarks. The New Zealand specimens conform well to the type description and are the first records of the species outside Tasmania. The rostral spination of the New Zealand specimens (9 or 10 dorsal of which 4 are postorbital; 16–20 ventral) is within the expected range of variation for the species (9 dorsal of which 4 are postorbital; 15–18 ventral; Taylor & Poore 1998), as is rostral length (1.22–1.61 cl. versus 1.05–1.46). Of the three males and nine females examined, the major pereopod 2 is on the right in all specimens except for one male and four females. Most specimens were collected together with sponges and mixed corals including primnoids (Thourella sp., Acanthogorgia sp.) and Madrepora oculata.
 Distribution. Seamounts off south-eastern Tasmania and now from seamounts on the Chatham Rise, New Zealand; 900–1448 m.

description: The EDELWEISS experiment has improved its sensitivity for the direct search for WIMP dark matter. In the recoil energy range relevant for WIMP masses below 10 TeV/c2, no nuclear recoils were observed in the fiducial volume of a heat-and-ionization cryogenic Ge detector operated in the low-background environment of the Laboratoire Souterrain de Modane in the Frejus Tunnel, during an effective exposure of 7.4 kg.days. This result is combined with the previous EDELWEISS data to derive a limit on the cross-section for spin-independent interaction of WIMPs and nucleons as a function of WIMP mass, using standard nuclear physics and astrophysical assumptions. This limit excludes at more than 99.8%CL a WIMP candidate with a mass of 44 GeV/c2 and a cross-section of 5.4 x 10-6 pb, as reported by the DAMA collaboration. A first sample of supersymmetric models are also excluded at 90%CL.

description: We examine the problem of learning to cooperate in the context of wireless communication. In our setting, two agents must learn modulation schemes that enable them to communicate across a power-constrained additive white Gaussian noise channel. We investigate whether learning is possible under different levels of information sharing between distributed agents which are not necessarily co-designed. We employ the "Echo" protocol, a "blind" interactive learning protocol where an agent hears, understands, and repeats (echoes) back the message received from another agent, simultaneously training itself to communicate. To capture the idea of cooperation between "not necessarily co-designed" agents we use two different populations of function approximators - neural networks and polynomials. We also include interactions between learning agents and non-learning agents with fixed modulation protocols such as QPSK and 16QAM. We verify the universality of the Echo learning approach, showing it succeeds independent of the inner workings of the agents. In addition to matching the communication expectations of others, we show that two learning agents can collaboratively invent a successful communication approach from independent random initializations. We complement our simulations with an implementation of the Echo protocol in software-defined radios. To explore the continuum of co-design, we study how learning is impacted by different levels of information sharing between agents, including sharing training symbols, losses, and full gradients. We find that co-design (increased information sharing) accelerates learning. Learning higher order modulation schemes is a more difficult task, and the beneficial effect of co-design becomes more pronounced as the task becomes harder.

 Remarks. The present series of A. australis represents the first record of the genus and species from New Zealand, agreeing well with published accounts (Hanamura 1989; Hayashi 2004). The rostrum is usually spiniform as reported by Hanamura (1989) for the type material, and occasionally triangular. Poore (2004) and Poore et al. (2008) reported A. australis from 32–680 m, so the capture depth of the New Zealand specimens (552–797 m) extends the known bathymetric range. The occurrence of A. australis from both the west and east coasts suggests that the species has a wide distribution in New Zealand waters.
 Distribution. Southern Australia and now from New Zealand waters; 32– 797 m.

description: Model efficiency has become increasingly important in computer vision. In this paper, we systematically study neural network architecture design choices for object detection and propose several key optimizations to improve efficiency. First, we propose a weighted bi-directional feature pyramid network (BiFPN), which allows easy and fast multiscale feature fusion; Second, we propose a compound scaling method that uniformly scales the resolution, depth, and width for all backbone, feature network, and box/class prediction networks at the same time. Based on these optimizations and better backbones, we have developed a new family of object detectors, called EfficientDet, which consistently achieve much better efficiency than prior art across a wide spectrum of resource constraints. In particular, with single model and single-scale, our EfficientDet-D7 achieves state-of-the-art 55.1 AP on COCO test-dev with 77M parameters and 410B FLOPs, being 4x - 9x smaller and using 13x - 42x fewer FLOPs than previous detectors.

description: Magnetic relaxation in molecular magnets under a sweeping field is studied by taking into account local stray fields. It is found that the randomness of local stray field leads to a distribution of the relaxation rate which subsequently makes the relaxation deviate from the exponential law as predicted by the Landau-Zener model such that the Landau-Zener method needs to be revised to deduce an exact tunneling splitting. The tunneling splitting and distribution width of local stray fields are derived from the experimental data for molecular magnets Fe8.

description: A unifying framework for the control of quantum systems with non-Abelian holonomy is presented. It is shown that, from a control theoretic point of view, holonomic quantum computation can be treated as a control system evolving on a principal fiber bundle. An extension of methods developed for these classical systems may be applied to quantum holonomic systems to obtain insight into the control properties of such systems and to construct control algorithms for two established examples of the computing paradigm.

description: Third-party funding has been commonly used in International Investment Arbitration. Third-party funders increasingly usually finance the claimant who either (i) does not have sufficient funding to start legal proceeding, or (ii) adequately capitalized, but seek funding in order to minimize cash flow disruption and share risk during their arbitration proceedings. However, the notion of third-party funding gives rise to several issues, first, should funded parties be required to disclose their funding arrangements? Following the first research question, when does the funded party need to disclose the existence of a third-party funder? Then what legal measures that can be taken to tackle the concern of transparency and disclosure in cases involving third-party funding? This research concentrates on the transparency and disclosure requirements, which is the major issue that influences further development and use of third-party funding arrangement in international arbitration. Analysis of relevant treaties, laws, guidelines, and case laws drive us to the conclusion that there exist measures and several drains the current international arbitration system that will serve a transparency system to control third-party funding. Hence, it would be appropriate for arbitration institute or investment treaties to take these tools into account in order to provide legal certainty for the disputing parties, arbitral tribunal, and ultimately, for the legal framework of third-party funding in investment arbitration.

description: (abridged) Observations of very high speeds among pulsars in the Galactic disk present a puzzle regarding neutron stars in globular clusters. The inferred characteristic speed of single pulsars in the Galaxy is $\sim 5-10$ times as large as the central escape speed from the most massive globular clusters. It is then reasonable to ask why any pulsars are seen in globular clusters, whereas, in fact, quite a large number have been detected and as many as $\sim 1000$ are thought to be present in some of the richest clusters. We use a Monte Carlo approach to generate a population of massive primordial binaries. If we utilize the convention assumptions regarding mass transfer and neutron star kicks, we find that < 5% of the neutron stars initially formed in a massive cluster can be retained. We suggest that this fraction is too low to account for what is observed, and we speculate on possible alternative solutions to the retention problem.

description: Deterministic current-induced spin-orbit torque (SOT) switching of magnetization in a heavy transition metal/ferromagnetic metal/oxide magnetic heterostructure with the ferromagnetic layer being perpendicularly-magnetized typically requires an externally-applied in-plane field to break the switching symmetry. We show that by inserting an in-plane magnetized ferromagnetic layer CoFeB underneath the conventional W/CoFeB/MgO SOT heterostructure, deterministic SOT switching of the perpendicularly-magnetized top CoFeB layer can be realized without the need of in-plane bias field. Kerr imaging study further unveils that the observed switching is mainly dominated by domain nucleation and domain wall motion, which might limit the potentiality of using this type of multilayer stack design for nanoscale SOT-MRAM application. Comparison of the experimental switching behavior with micromagnetic simulations reveals that the deterministic switching in our devices cannot be explained by the stray field contribution of the in-plane magnetized layer, and the roughness-caused Néel coupling effect might play a more important role in achieving the observed field-free deterministic switching.

description: My thesis looks at the construction of citizenship in the Bodoland Territorial Area Districts (BTAD, or Bodoland for short) in Western Assam, India. The BTAD is an autonomous sub- region within the state of Assam, which in turn is part of a cluster of states in Northeast India. I look primarily at the everyday practices of the state in an ethnically diverse region with a history of separatism, armed militant struggle, and violence between different ethnic groups. My understanding of citizenship is developed in the backdrop of Assam’s contemporary exercise of updating its own National Register of Citizens, a process designed to identify illegal immigrants from neighbouring Bangladesh. I attempt to unpack the role of the state in the shaping of this relationship, looking at routine practices, as well as the ways in which the state represents itself in ordinary settings.

description: In this work we study the supermanoeuvrability of a biomimetic morphing-wing case study aircraft system. Analytical and computational models of biomimetic flight dynamics are developed, utilising multibody dynamics, computational fluid dynamics, and reduced-order aerodynamic models; and validated with respect to experimentally-derived flight dynamics of a Pioneer RQ-2 UAV. These models are used to explore the capability of this system for a wide range of biological and other supermanoeuvres: multi-axis quasistatic nose-pointing-and-shooting (NPAS) / direct force capability; multi-axis rapid-nose-pointing-and-shooting (RaNPAS) including Pugachev’s cobra; ballistic transition; and anchor turning. Novel contributions include the development of transient aerodynamic models for a three-dimensional flight-simulation context; the development of novel methods for assessing transient model validity; the development of improved methods of quaternion variational integration; the development of quasi-trim and continuation-based methods for the design, exploration, analysis and control of manoeuvres in biomimetic morphing-wing systems; an assessment of the complex spiral mode stability effects present in asymmetrically-morphed system trim states; and a demonstration of the wide-ranging potential for advanced supermanoeuvrability in biomimetic morphing-wing systems. Industrial applications include the design of high-precision guided missiles for use in complex, e.g. urban, environments.

description: Much scientific work has focused on the generation of random numbers as well as the distribution of said random numbers for use as a cryptographic key. However, emphasis is often placed on one of the two to the exclusion of the other, but both are often simultaneously important. Here we present a simple hybrid free-space link scheme for both the generation and secure distribution of (pseudo-)random numbers between two remote parties, drawing the randomness from the stochastic nature of atmospheric turbulence. The atmosphere is simulated using digital micro-mirror devices for efficient, all-digital control. After outlining one potential algorithm for extracting random numbers based on finding the centre-of-mass (COM) of turbulent beam intensity profiles, the statistics of our experimental COM measurements is studied and found to agree well with the literature. After implementing the scheme in the laboratory, Alice and Bob are able to establish a string of correlated random bits with an 84% fidelity. Finally, we make a simple modification to the original setup in an attempt to thwart the hacking attempts of an eavesdropper, Eve, who has access to the free-space portion of the link. We find that the fidelity between Eve's key and that of Alice/Bob is 54%, only slightly above the theoretical minimum. Atmospheric turbulence could hence be leveraged as an added security measure, rather than being seen as a drawback.

description: In the last 50 years there have been great advances in the field of central thyroid disorders. However, despite important developments, such as the introduction of ultrasensitive TSH assays and improvements in pituitary imaging studies, diagnosing and uncovering the aetiology of both central hyper- and hypo-thyroidism remains challenging in many cases. This thesis adds data to the existing literature generated from studies in large cohorts of patients with TSH secreting pituitary tumours (TSHoma) and describes novel methods for pituitary imaging using functional imaging. Lastly, functional studies of a novel mutation in the TRHR gene giving rise to central congenital hypothyroidism (CCH) are presented. In the first chapter, an overview of central disorders of thyroid function are discussed with emphasis on TSHomas and congenital central hypothyroidism. Pituitary imaging modalities are also discussed with emphasis on functional pituitary imaging. The second chapter describes the methods applied during the conduct of the presented research studies and these methods are elucidated in more detail in each subsequent chapter. In the third chapter, results from a prospective observational study involving 31 consecutive patients with TSHoma are presented and contrasted to a large cohort of patients with RTHbeta as well as healthy euthyroid volunteers. In the fourth chapter, phenotypic differences among patients harbouring micro- versus macro-TSHomas are presented. The second part of this chapter discusses the response of TSHomas to primary medical therapy with somatostatin analogues (SSA). In the fifth chapter, the application and findings of functional pituitary imaging with the radioactive tracer 11C-Methionine are presented; this approach has been applied to all pituitary adenoma subtypes, including TSH secreting adenomas. In the last chapter, functional studies of a novel mutation in the TRHR gene are presented. This mutation was discovered in a child with isolated congenital central hypothyroidism.

description: In this paper, an explicit construction of a countable parafree Lie algebra over $\mathbb Z/2$ with nonzero second homology is given. It is also shown that the cohomological dimension of the pronilpotent completion of a free noncyclic finitely generated Lie algebra over $\mathbb Z$ is greater than two. Moreover, it is proven that there exists a countable parafree group with nontrivial $H_2$.

description: Residential amenities and access to employment are major factors in migration decisions. Yet traditional migration models are unable to reveal the causes (and effects) of migration because current data capture only movers who change their place of residence; depending on how far they move, these migrants may or may not also change their jobs. Migration flows thus could be categorized into two groups depending on whether the migrants also change their workplace. In this paper, we identify the number of movers who do and do not change their workplace by using overlapping county-to-county migration and commuting data. We refer to this as workplace-anchored and unanchored migration. Then we compare the local factors that affect both types of migration. Our analysis reveals that the most important local factors that separate workplace-anchored and unanchored migration are the poverty rate, commuting time, and age demographics of the origin and destination counties.

description: Open Educational Resource (OER) authoring projects demand a high level of organization and planning, ideally as early in the project as possible. A memorandum of understanding (MOU) is a flexible agreement between parties to establish the outcomes, tasks, and timetables of a project. The MOU Template for OER Authoring Projects is intended for use by libraries and prospective OER authors, allowing each partner to think through their objectives, needs, and contributions, in order to reach a shared understanding of expectations. It includes sections to identify parties and their roles, documenting the background and context, defining the authors' and libraries' responsibilities, licensing and copyright, funding, contingencies, accessibility, archiving and preservation, and more. Licensed under CC BY, it is intended to be adapted according to the circumstances of each project.

description: The human proteome includes many proteins that are entirely disordered or contain long disordered regions. Although these proteins are linked with many diseases, there are currently no clinically-approved drugs that have been shown to target these proteins in their monomeric forms. In fact, disordered proteins are generally considered to be 'untargettable'. This situation has arisen from a lack of understanding of how small molecules bind disordered proteins. In this thesis, I combine biophysical experiments and computational ensemble determination techniques (metadynamic metainference) to characterise small molecule interactions with disordered proteins. After an introduction to the field in Chapter 1, I focus on the interaction of a drug-like molecule with a peptide from an oncogenic transcription factor, c-Myc, in Chapter 2. I observed this interaction to be of entropic nature, and characterise the binding at the atomic level using simulations restrained with NMR data. The binding is extremely dynamic, such that both the small molecule and disordered protein explore many conformations in the bound state. Nevertheless, this interaction also shows signs of sequence specificity. In the remaining chapters, I generalise this approach to probe small molecule binding to the monomeric form of the amyloid β peptide (Aβ), whose aggregation is a hallmark of Alzheimer's disease. In Chapter 3, I employ metadynamic metainference restrained with NMR data to identify the structural origins Aβ42's lower solubility with respect to Aβ40, and show how this structural insight can be applied towards novel therapeutic development targeting this disordered protein. In Chapter 4, using both experimental and computational techniques, I identify and characterise a small molecule that sequesters Aβ42 in its soluble monomeric form and prevents its toxic aggregation. A detailed understanding of the binding mechanisms between small molecules and disordered proteins may lead to the ability to engineer improved binding interactions, thus yielding drugs targeting these proteins that are highly prevalent in many major human diseases including cancer, neurodegeneration, cardiovascular disease, and diabetes.

description: No-till acreage has increased in recent years but many farmers alternate no-till with other tillage practices, effectively limiting both public and private benefits from sustained no-till adoption. Revealed preference data is used in an ordered logit regression analysis to determine the effect of soil characteristics, climate, regions, farm characteristics, and producer demographics on producers’ choices to use continuous tillage, alternate no-till systems with tillage systems, or continuously use no-till. The model provides insight into the characteristics and conditions that are conducive to each tillage regime. The attributes found to significantly affect continuous no-till adoption are erodibility classification, drainage, farm size, and precipitation variables.

Genetic epidemiology of markers of genomic ageing

description: Background Ageing is associated with changes in physical functioning, generally leading to a progressive decline in health and development of age-related diseases. Age-related changes also affect our genome and markers of genomic ageing, such as telomere length and chromosomal loss, have been linked to cancer. The genetic architecture of these markers is not well understood and studies investigating associations with common age-related cardiometabolic conditions have been limited in their design, analytical methods, power and genetic instruments used. Only a few studies have investigated prospective changes in these markers with age. Objectives To study the epidemiology of two heritable markers of genomic ageing, leukocyte telomere length (LTL) and mosaic loss of chromosomal Y (mLOY) and test their causal relevance for cardiometabolic and other age-related disorders. Methods Large-scale, genome-wide meta-analysis, two-sample Mendelian Randomization (MR), and prospective observational case-cohort analysis methods were used to (1) identify novel genetic determinants of LTL, (2) investigate causal associations of genetic differences in LTL with disease, (3) review the evidence on and assess the feasibility of studying longitudinal changes of LTL, and (4) assess observational associations between LTL and mLOY and future risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) in a large, international case-cohort study. Results Genome-wide meta-analyses including 78,592 individuals identified 49 regions associated with LTL at FDR<0.05 including 17 (6 novel) at p-value<5X10-8. A total of 32 candidate genes were prioritised with strong suggestive evidence for their roles in telomere homeostasis, DNA repair and nucleotide metabolism. Targeted and phenome-wide MR analyses suggested causal associations of shorter LTL with an increased risk of cardiovascular conditions, and decreased risks of multiple cancer types and diseases of excessive growth. LTL shortening was observed even in young and healthy individuals, and baseline LTL was strongly associated with the rate of shortening, questioning the usefulness of LTL shortening rate as an outcome in genetic association studies. No evidence was found for strong associations of mLOY or LTL either measured or genetically predicted with the risk of T2D. Conclusion Our findings substantially expand current knowledge on genes and mechanisms regulating LTL, as well as refine our understanding of the impact of genetic differences in LTL on human health and disease, while providing no strong evidence for prospective observational or causal associations between markers of genomic ageing and T2D risk.

description: Shutting down and/or upgrading existing productive assets are important economic decisions for the owners of those assets and are also the fundamental decisions that underlie the development of new, growing industries. This paper develops a dynamic structural econometric model of wind turbine owners' decisions about whether and when to add new turbines to a pre-existing stock, scrap an existing turbine, or replace old turbines with newer versions (i.e., upgrade). We apply our model to owner-level panel data for Denmark over the period 1980-2011 to estimate the underlying profit structure for wind producers and evaluate the impact of technology and government policy on wind industry development. Our structural econometric model explicitly takes into account the dynamics and interdependence of shutdown and upgrade decisions and generates parameter estimates with direct economic interpretations. Results from the model indicate that the growth and development of the Danish wind industry was primarily driven by government policies as opposed to technological improvements. The parameter estimates are used to simulate counterfactual policy scenarios in order to quantify the effectiveness of the Danish feed-in-tariff and replacement certificate programs. Results show that both of these policies significantly impacted the timing of shutdown and upgrade decisions made by turbine owners and accelerated the development of the wind industry in Denmark.
Gas accretion on spiral galaxies: bar formation and renewal

Year: 2002

description: The effects of gas accretion on spiral disk dynamics and stability are studied through N-body simulations, including star formation and gas/stars mass exchange. The detailed processes of bar formation, bar destruction and bar re-formation are followed, while in the same time the disk to bulge ratio is varying. The accreted gas might be first prevented to flow inwards to the center by the bar gravity torques, which maintains it to the outer Lindblad resonance. While the first bar is weakening, the accreted gas replenishes the disk, increasing the disk-to-bulge ratio, and the disk self-gravity. A second bar is then unstable, with a higher pattern speed, due both to the increased mass, and shorter bar length. Three or four bar episodes have been followed over a Hubble time. Their strength is decreasing with time, while their pattern speed is increasing. Detailed balance of the angular momentum transfer and evolution can account for these processes. The gas recycled through star formation, and rejected through stellar mass loss plays also a role in the disk dynamics. Implications on the spiral galaxy dynamics and evolution along the Hubble sequence, and as a function of redshift are discussed.

description: The Maldives resort islands are a type of tourist enclave subject to a dual form of borderization. The islands have an external border that coincides with each island’s coastline and with the limits of the private property of the resort; this border regulates the movement of tourists and locals. The islands also have an internal border that separates the outer edge of the island from the inner edge. The outer edge, which is supposed to represent the perfect landscape of the ‘tropical island,’ houses all of the tourist facilities, while the interior contains the structures dedicated to the metabolic activities of the resort. The frontline staff members and the tourists share the ‘dreamscape’ of the outer edge, whereas the maintenance workers live in the secluded space inside the island, where they are typically hidden from the sight of tourists by high walls, and their movement is usually restricted from staff designated areas to their location of work. For maintenance workers, these spaces, necessarily limited due to the small size of the coral islands, risk becoming ‘islands within islands.’ Recently, the Maldivian government has begun to promote projects and initiatives in support of territorial integration between the resorts and communities of neighboring islands. Thus, the outer limits of the resort islands are, today, more porous. Their internal borders, in contrast, remain very difficult to cross.

description: Extended depth of focus (EDOF) lenses are important for various applications in computational imaging and microscopy. In addition to enabling novel functionalities, EDOF lenses can alleviate the need for stringent alignment requirements for imaging systems. Existing EDOF lenses, however, are often inefficient or produce an asymmetric point spread function (PSF) that blurs images. Inverse design of nanophotonics, including metasurfaces, has generated strong interest in recent years owing to its potential for generating exotic and innovative optical elements, which are generally difficult to model intuitively. Using adjoint optimization-based inverse electromagnetic design, in this paper, we designed a cylindrical metasurface lens operating at ~ 625nm with a depth of focus exceeding that of an ordinary lens. We validated our design by nanofabrication and optical characterization of silicon nitride metasurface lenses (with lateral dimension of 66.66 μm) with three different focal lengths (66.66 μm,100 μm,133.33 μm). The focusing efficiencies of the fabricated extended depth of focus metasurface lenses are similar to those of traditional metalenses.

description: This study proposes a new estimator for multivariate binary response data. This study considers binary responses as being generated from a truncated multivariate discrete distribution. Specifically the discrete normal probability mass function, which has support on all integers, is extended to a multivariate form. Truncating this point probability mass function below zero and above one results the multivariate binary discrete normal distribution. This distribution has a number of attractive properties. Monte Carlo simulation and empirical applications are performed to show the properties of this new estimator; comparisons are made to the traditional multivariate probit model.
