Models of philosophical thought experimentation
Creators: name: Tapsell, Jonathan Andy
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2014

description: The practice of thought experimentation plays a central role in contemporary philosophical methodology. Many philosophers rely on thought experimentation as their primary and even sole procedure for testing theories about the natures of properties and relations. This test procedure involves entertaining hypothetical cases in imaginative thought and then undergoing intuitions about the distribution of properties and relations in them. A theory’s comporting with an intuition is treated as evidence in favour of it; but a clash is treated as evidence against the theory and may even be regarded as falsifying it. The epistemic power of thought experimentation is mysterious. How can experiments carried out within the mind enable us to discover truths about the natures of properties and relations like knowledge, causation, personal identity, reference, meaning, consciousness, beauty, justice, morality, and free will? This epistemological challenge is urgent, but a model of philosophical thought experimentation would seem to be a necessary propaedeutic to any serious discussion of it. An adequate model would make the relevant test procedure explicit, thereby assisting in the identification of points of potential epistemic vulnerability. In this monograph I advance the propaedeutical model-building work already done by Timothy Williamson, Anna-Sara Malmgren, and Jonathan Ichikawa and Benjamin Jarvis. Following the lead of these philosophers, I focus on a single Gettier- style thought experiment and the problem of identifying the real content of the Gettier intuition. My first contribution is to establish the inadequacy of all of the existing models. Each of them, I argue, fails to solve the content problem. It emerges from my discussion, however, that Ichikawa and Jarvis’s truth in fiction approach holds out the prospect of a solution. My second contribution is to develop and defend a new way of implementing the general idea behind the truth in fiction approach. The model I put forward does a better overall job of modelling Gettier-style thought experiments than any of the existing models. It has none of the defects which render those models inadequate and I am unable to find any major defects peculiar to it. This should make us feel confident that my model is adequate. Moreover, since the Gettier-style thought experiment I focus on is paradigmatic, we should also feel confident that my model will generalise naturally to other philosophical thought experiments.

description: In this work we present a novel quantum Monte-Carlo method for fermions, based on an exact decomposition of the Boltzmann operator $exp(-βH)$. It can be seen as a synthesis of several related methods. It has the advantage that it is free of discretization errors, and applicable to general interactions, both for ground-state and finite-temperature calculations. The decomposition is based on low-rank matrices, which allows faster calculations. As an illustration, the method is applied to an analytically solvable model (pairing in a degenerate shell) and to the Hubbard model.

description: We show that for all the three standard symmetry classes (unitary, orthogonal and symplectic), the conventional replica nonlinear sigma model gives the correct non-perturbative result for the two-level correlation functions R_2(ω) of electrons in disordered metals in the limit of large ω. In this limit, non-perturbative oscillatory contributions arise from a degenerate saddle-point manifold within this sigma model which corresponds to the replica-symmetry breaking. Moreover, we demonstrate that in the unitary case the very same results can be extracted from the well known exact integral representation for R_2(ω).

description: Usability and user experience (UX) issues are often not well emphasized and addressed in open source software (OSS) development. There is an imperative need for supporting OSS communities to collaboratively identify, understand, and fix UX design issues in a distributed environment. In this paper, we provide an initial step towards this effort and report on an exploratory study that investigated how the OSS communities currently reported, discussed, negotiated, and eventually addressed usability and UX issues. We conducted in-depth qualitative analysis of selected issue tracking threads from three OSS projects hosted on GitHub. Our findings indicated that discussions about usability and UX issues in OSS communities were largely influenced by the personal opinions and experiences of the participants. Moreover, the characteristics of the community may have greatly affected the focus of such discussion.

description: We report on the remarkable evolution in the light curve of a variable star discovered by Hubble (1926) in M33 and classified by him as a Cepheid. Early in the 20th century, the variable, designated as V19, exhibited a 54.7 day period, an intensity-weighted mean B magnitude of 19.59+/-0.23 mag, and a B amplitude of 1.1 mag. Its position in the P-L plane was consistent with the relation derived by Hubble from a total of 35 variables. Modern observations by the DIRECT project show a dramatic change in the properties of V19: its mean B magnitude has risen to 19.08 +/- 0.05 mag and its B amplitude has decreased to less than 0.1 mag. V19 does not appear to be a classical (Population I) Cepheid variable at present, and its nature remains a mystery. It is not clear how frequent such objects are nor how often they could be mistaken for classical Cepheids.

Correspondence
Italian Opera

description: This contribution aims at illustrating the ongoing work towards the digital scholarly editing, long-term preservation, web publishing and computational exploiting of 41 letters, written by the renowned composer Vincenzo Bellini. The correspondence is kept at the Belliniano Civic Museum of Catania and is being encoded in XML according to the last TEI guidelines. The edition will be made accessible both via web - exploiting the Edition Visualization Technology (EVT) - as well as integrated into an interactive and multimedia tour within the museum. The digital edition is based on the recently published transcriptions made by Seminara. The encoding scheme has been defined according to the edition requirements, the TEI best practices and the Music Encoding Initiative (MEI) guidelines - where the musical context must be specified. Our initiative has some elements of innovation that distinguish it from similar projects, such as the Van Gogh letter project or the DALF project. For instance, we encode the circumstance that the letters themselves have also the purpose of acting as envelopes. In fact, they are folded on themselves and postmarks and wax seals are sometimes affixed on them. The edition takes care of handling the correspondence metadata by means of the correspDesc TEI tagset, thus providing the opportunity to exploit the correspSearch API. This approach has allowed us to enrich the encoding of the document both in its logical and physical structure and in indexing letters by sender, recipient, date, and places. The museum context and the educational purposes have even led us to the definitions of some lists of named entities. Within these resources we have adopted the Semantic Web and LOD paradigm by encoding external references to authoritative repositories such as RISM and DBpedia. Finally, we implemented some useful EVT extensions to automatically handle hotspots and to show critical notes that accompany the text.

description: Here we built up a sample of 22 GRBs at redshifts $z > 2$ observed with X-shooter to determine the abundances of hydrogen, metals, dust, and molecular species. This allows us to study the metallicity and dust depletion effects in the neutral ISM at high redshift and to answer the question whether (and why) there might be a lack of H$_2$ in GRB-DLAs. We fit absorption lines and measure the column densities of different metal species as well as atomic and molecular hydrogen. The derived relative abundances are used to fit dust depletion sequences and determine the dust-to-metals ratio and the host-galaxy intrinsic visual extinction. There is no lack of H$_2$-bearing GRB-DLAs. We detect absorption lines from H$_2$ in 6 out of 22 GRB afterglow spectra, with molecular fractions ranging between $f\simeq 5\cdot10^{-5}$ and $f\simeq 0.04$, and claim tentative detections in three other cases. The GRB-DLAs in the present sample have on average low metallicities ($\mathrm{[X/H]}\approx -1.3$), comparable to the rare population of QSO-ESDLAs (log N(HI) $> 21.5$). H$_2$-bearing GRB-DLAs are found to be associated with significant dust extinction, $A_V > 0.1$ mag, and have dust-to-metals ratios DTM$ > 0.4$. All of these systems exhibit column densities of log N(HI) $> 21.7$. The overall fraction of H$_2$ detections is $\ge 27$% (41% including tentative detections), which is three times larger than in the general population of QSO-DLAs. For $2 21.7$, the H$_2$ detection fraction is 60-80% in GRB-DLAs as well as in extremely strong QSO-DLAs. This is likely a consequence of the fact that both GRB- and QSO-DLAs with high N(HI) probe sight-lines with small impact parameters that indicate that the absorbing gas is associated with the inner regions of the absorbing galaxy, where the gas pressure is higher and the conversion of HI to H$_2$ takes place.

description: Despite the existence of co-orbital bodies in the solar system, and the prediction of the formation of co-orbital planets by planetary system formation models, no co-orbital exoplanets (also called trojans) have been detected thus far. Here we study the signature of co-orbital exoplanets in transit surveys when two planet candidates in the system orbit the star with similar periods. Such pair of candidates could be discarded as false positives because they are not Hill-stable. However, horseshoe or long libration period tadpole co-orbital configurations can explain such period similarity. This degeneracy can be solved by considering the Transit Timing Variations (TTVs) of each planet. We then focus on the three planet candidates system TOI-178: the two outer candidates of that system have similar orbital period and had an angular separation near $π/3$ during the TESS observation of sector 2. Based on the announced orbits, the long-term stability of the system requires the two close-period planets to be co-orbitals. Our independent detrending and transit search recover and slightly favour the three orbits close to a 3:2:2 resonant chain found by the TESS pipeline, although we cannot exclude an alias that would put the system close to a 4:3:2 configuration. We then analyse in more detail the co-orbital scenario. We show that despite the influence of an inner planet just outside the 2:3 mean-motion resonance, this potential co-orbital system can be stable on the Giga-year time-scale for a variety of planetary masses, either on a trojan or a horseshoe orbit. We predict that large TTVs should arise in such configuration with a period of several hundred days. We then show how the mass of each planet can be retrieved from these TTVs.

description: Momentum transfer due to Coulomb interaction between two parallel, two-dimensional, narrow, and spatially separated layers, when a current I_{drive} is driven through one layer, is studied in the presence of a perpendicular magnetic field B. The current induced in the drag layer, I_{drag}, is evaluated self-consistently with I_{drive} as a parameter. I_{drag} can be positive or negative depending on the value of the filling factor νof the highest occupied bulk Landau level (LL). For a fully occupied LL, I_{drag} is negative, i.e., it flows opposite to I_{drive}, whereas it is positive for a half-filled LL. When the circuit is opened in the drag layer, a voltage ΔV_{drag} develops in it; it is negative for a half-filled LL and positive for a fully occupied LL. This positive ΔV_{drag}, expressing a negative Coulomb drag, results from energetically favored near-edge inter-LL transitions that occur when the highest occupied bulk LL and the LL just above it become degenerate.

Deconfinement of non-strange hadronic matter with nucleons and $Δ$ baryons to quark matter in neutron stars

description: We explore the possibility of formation of $Δ$ baryons (1232 MeV) in neutron star matter in an effective chiral model within the relativistic mean-field framework. With variation in delta-meson couplings, consistent with the constraints imposed on them, the resulting equation of state is obtained and the neutron star properties are calculated for static and spherical configuration. Within the framework of our model the critical densities of formation of $Δ$s and the properties of neutron stars are found to be very sensitive to the iso-vector coupling compared to the scalar or vector couplings. We revisit the $Δ$ puzzle and look for the possibility of phase transition from non-strange hadronic matter (including nucleons and $Δ$s) to deconfined quark matter, based on QCD theories. The resultant hybrid star configurations satisfy the observational constraints on mass from the most massive pulsars PSR J1614-2230 and PSR J0348+0432 in static condition obtained with the general hydrostatic equilibrium based on GTR. Our radius estimates are well within the limits imposed from observational analysis of QLMBXs. The obtained values of $R_{1.4}$ are in agreement with the recent bounds specified from the observation of gravitational wave (GW170817)from binary neutron star merger. The constraint on baryonic mass from study of binary system PSR J0737-3039 is also satisfied with our hybrid equation of state. \noindent{Keywords: Delta baryons, Quark matter, Phase transition, Equation of State, Neutron Stars, Hybrid Stars}

Interrelations between Stochastic Equations for Systems with Pair Interactions

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Several types of stochastic equations are important in thermodynamics, chemistry, evolutionary biology, population dynamics and quantitative social science. For systems with pair interactions four different types of equations are derived, starting from a master equation for the state space: First, general mean value and (co)variance equations. Second, Boltzmann-like equations. Third, a master equation for the configuration space allowing transition rates which depend on the occupation numbers of the states. Fourth, a Fokker-Planck equation and a ``Boltzmann-Fokker-Planck equation''. The interrelations of these equations and the conditions for their validity are worked out clearly. A procedure for a selfconsistent solution of the nonlinear equations is proposed. Generalizations to interactions between an arbitrary number of systems are discussed.

description: The increasing availability and diversity of virtual reality (VR) applications highlighted the importance of their usability. Function-oriented VR applications posed new challenges that are not well studied in the literature. Moreover, user feedback becomes readily available thanks to modern software engineering tools, such as app stores and open source platforms. Using Firefox Reality as a case study, we explored the major types of VR usability issues raised in these platforms. We found that 77% of usability feedbacks can be mapped to Nielsen's heuristics while few were mappable to VR-specific heuristics. This result indicates that Nielsen's heuristics could potentially help developers address the usability of this VR application in its early development stage. This work paves the road for exploring tools leveraging the community effort to promote the usability of function-oriented VR applications.

We solve the equation for graviton propagation in a general four dimensional background and find an explicit solution for a zero mass bound state of the graviton. We find that this zero mass bound state is normalizable only if the cosmological constant is strictly zero, thereby providing a dynamical reason for the vanishing of cosmological constant within the context of this model. We also show that the results of Randall and Sundrum can be generalized without any modification to the Schwarzschild background.

The strong Malthusian behavior of growth-fragmentation processes
Creators: name: Bertoin, Jean

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: Growth-fragmentation processes describe the evolution of systems of cells which grow continuously and fragment suddenly; they are used in models of cell division and protein polymerisation. Typically, we may expect that in the long run, the concentrations of cells with given masses increase at some exponential rate, and that, after compensating for this, they arrive at an asymptotic profile. Up to now, this question has mainly been studied for the average behavior of the system, often by means of a natural partial integro-differential equation and the associated spectral theory. However, the behavior of the system as a whole, rather than only its average, is more delicate. In this work, we show that a criterion found by one of the authors for exponential ergodicity on average is actually sufficient to deduce stronger results about the convergence of the entire collection of cells to a certain asymptotic profile, and we find some improved explicit conditions for this to occur.

description: . The choice of breeding sites by pond-breeding anurans has notable consequences for the fitness of larvae. Hence, beyond pond typology and phenology, adults can also discriminate according to several other features, for instance to favour allotopy with potential competitors. However, the lack of shared evolutionary history might impede proper ecological differentiation with alien species during the first stages of invasions. Here, we studied several possible sources of ecological segregation between the invasive Discoglossus pictus and the native Epidalea calamita in ephemeral ponds, where the native toad hardly had competition before the arrival of the invasive frog. During spring of 2016, we periodically surveyed 69 ephemeral ponds in three areas with different invasion histories to detect the presence/absence of eggs and tadpoles of these species. Invasive D. pictus started breeding earlier than E. calamita, but differences were not significant. Similarly, there were not clear differences among areas with different invasion histories. However, we found for both species a mutual tendency to directly avoid larval syntopy at the end of the reproductive season. We also found interspecific differences in the features that both species use for pond choice, preferring the native species shallower and less vegetated ephemeral ponds. Globally however, co-occurrence was high, pointing at other processes as key to the coexistence between both species in these habitats.

description: The random magnetic flux problem on a lattice and in a quasi one-dimensional (wire) geometry is studied both analytically and numerically. The first two moments of the conductance are obtained analytically. Numerical simulations for the average and variance of the conductance agree with the theory. We find that the center of the band $ε=0$ plays a special role. Away from $ε=0$, transport properties are those of a disordered quantum wire in the standard unitary symmetry class. At the band center $ε=0$, the dependence on the wire length of the conductance departs from the standard unitary symmetry class and is governed by a new universality class, the chiral unitary symmetry class. The most remarkable property of this new universality class is the existence of an even-odd effect in the localized regime: Exponential decay of the average conductance for an even number of channels is replaced by algebraic decay for an odd number of channels.

description: Firms can differentiate their products through improving their accessibilities so that it costs less for the consumers to collect information on firms' products. In this way, firms' products become more attractive to the consumers and thus more demand will be generated. However, this improvement requires a fair amount of investment from firms. This essay will use the spatial model, where two identical firms with fixed locations engage in a symmetric and simultaneous game, to analyse whether, and if so, when firms should invest to improve their accessibilities. Two cases where firms charge mill pricing and discriminatory pricing will be looked into as well. We conclude that firms should and will make the investment when, first, they have perfect information on consumers and charge discriminatory prices; second, when the cost investment incurred is sufficiently low. If, on the other hand, cost of investment is sufficiently large, then it is most optimal, economically and socially, for both firms to stay out of making such an investment.

description: Superconducting circuits based on quantum phase-slip junctions (QPSJs) can conduct quantized charge pulses, which naturally resemble action potentials generated by biological neurons. A corresponding synaptic circuit, which works as a weighted connection between two neurons, can also be realized by circuits comprised of QPSJs and magnetic Josephson junctions (MJJs) as a means of charge modulation for quantized charge propagation. In this paper, we present basic neuromorphic components such as neuron and synaptic circuits based on superconducting QPSJs and MJJs. Using a SPICE model developed for QPSJs, neuron and synaptic circuits have been simulated in WRSPICE to demonstrate possible operation. We provide estimates for QPSJ energy dissipation and operation speed based on calculations using simple models. The challenges for implementation of this technology are also briefly discussed.

description: We show that the class of all aggregation functions on $[0,1]$ can be generated as a composition of infinitary sup-operation $\bigvee$ acting on sets with cardinality not exceeding $\mathfrak{c}$, $b$-medians $\mathsf{Med}_b$, $b\in[0,1[$, and unary aggregation functions $1_{]0,1]}$ and $1_{[a,1]}$, $a\in ]0,1]$. Moreover, we show that we cannot relax the cardinality of argument sets for suprema to be countable, thus showing a kind of minimality of the introduced generating set. As a by product, generating sets for fuzzy connectives, such as fuzzy unions, fuzzy intersections and fuzzy implications are obtained, too.

description: Das Ziel der Initiative Open Library Badge (OLB) ist es, ein Anreizsystem für Bibliotheken zu schaffen, die das Konzept der Offenheit verfolgen. Der Badge soll entsprechende Aktivitäten und Angebote von Bibliotheken sichtbar machen.
 Er richtet sich sowohl an die Fachöffentlichkeit als auch an die eigenen Nutzer*innen und soll eine Belohnung für den bibliothekarischen Einsatz für mehr Offenheit in Wissenschaft und Gesellschaft sein.
 Der Open Library Badge wurde 2016 initiiert und seitdem an insgesamt 9 Bibliotheken verliehen. Die jeweilige Umsetzung der Kriterien dieser Bibliotheken wurde auf der Webseite des Open Library Badges in Form von Best-Practice-Beispielen zur Anregung und Motivation für andere Bibliotheken dokumentiert.
 Mit dem Open Library Badge 2020 wurden die Kriterien überarbeitet und von 10 auf 15 Kategorien erweitert.

description: Using the Mopra telescope, we have targeted 61 regions in the Carina Nebula, covering an area of 1.5 square degrees, of bright and compact 870 $μ$m dust continuum emission for molecular line emission from a host of 16 spectral lines at 3mm, including several dense gas tracers. We found that the clumps detected in Carina in general have in average higher temperatures (27 K compared to 21 K), and lower masses (214 M$_\odot$ compared to 508 M$_\odot$) than clumps located at a similar distance to us in the Galactic Plane. We compare the properties of the molecular line emission of these clumps with the MALT90 survey, finding that the detection rates of the molecular lines are similar to MALT90 clumps that are classified as PDRs. However, most of the clumps located within 10' of $η$ Carina have little molecular line emission detected in our observations. Given the lack of maser detection in the Carina region, we also compared the properties the clumps in Carina to those of Galactic clumps associated with 6.7-GHz methanol masers. We found that the clumps in Carina are warmer, less massive, and show less emission from the four most commonly detected molecules, HCO$^+$, N$_2$H$^+$, HCN, and HNC, compared to clumps associated with masers in the Galactic Plane. Overall our results are consistent with the scenario in which the high radiation field of $η$ Carina is dramatically affecting its local environment, and therefore the chemical composition of the dense clumps.

description: Candida tropicalis is one of the most important human fungal pathogens causing superficial infections in locations such as the oral mucosa and genital tract, as well as systemic infections with high mortality. In its sister species Candida albicans, the cyclic AMP/protein kinase A (cAMP/PKA) pathway regulates fungal adhesion and dimorphism, both of which correlate closely with virulence. CaTpk1 and CaTpk2, the catalytic subunits of PKA, not only share redundant functions in hyphal growth, adhesion, and biofilm formation, but also have distinct roles in stress responses and pathogenesis, respectively. However, studies on PKA in the emerging fungal pathogen C. tropicalis are limited. Our results suggest that Tpk1 is involved in cell wall integrity and drug tolerance. The tpk2/tpk2 mutants, which have no protein kinase A activity, have reduced hyphal growth and adhesion. In addition, the tpk1/tpk1 tpk2/tpk2 double deletion mutant demonstrated delayed growth and impaired hyphal formation. In a murine model of systemic infection, both TPK1 and TPK2 were required for full virulence. We further found that EFG1 and HWP1 expression is regulated by PKA, while BCR1, FLO8, GAL4, and RIM101 are upregulated in the tpk1/tpk1 tpk2/tpk2 mutant. This study demonstrates that Tpk1 is involved in drug tolerance and cell wall integrity, while Tpk2 serves as a key regulator in dimorphism and adhesion. Both Tpk1 and Tpk2 are required for growth and full virulence in C. tropicalis.
Energy non-equipartition in systems of inelastic, rough spheres

description: We calculate and verify with simulations the ratio between the average translational and rotational energies of systems with rough, inelastic particles, either forced or freely cooling. The ratio shows non-equipartition of energy. In stationary flows, this ratio depends mainly on the particle roughness, but in nonstationary flows, such as freely cooling granular media, it also depends strongly on the normal dissipation. The approach presented here unifies and simplifies different results obtained by more elaborate kinetic theories. We observe that the boundary induced energy flux plays an important role.

A palaeomagnetic study of some late Cainozoic rocks in low latitudes, with special reference to the Pacific region
Creators: name: Tarling, Donald H
Publisher: name: The Australian National University

description: Rock magnetism is the study of the magnetic properties of rocks, and palaeomagnetism forms one branch of this discipline. Palaeomagnetism is concerned with the natural ("fossil") remanent magnetization of rocks with the particular objective of studying the Earth's magnetic field during the geological past, The study is based on the supposition that a rock acquires a remanence at the time of its formation, the direction of which is parallel to the Earth's field, so that it is possible to infer the direction of the Earth's field at the time of the formation of the rock by an examination of its remanent magnetization. The intensity of magnetization is related with the strength of the Earth's field at that time, but in a complex manner, and most palaeomagnetic work is concerned with the directions of remanent magnetization.

On lattices with a smallest set of aggregation functions

description: Given a bounded lattice $L$ with bounds $0$ and $1$, it is well known that the set $\mathsf{Pol}_{0,1}(L)$ of all $0,1$-preserving polynomials of $L$ forms a natural subclass of the set $\mathsf{C}(L)$ of aggregation functions on $L$. The main aim of this paper is to characterize all finite lattices $L$ for which these two classes coincide, i.e. when the set $\mathsf{C}(L)$ is as small as possible. These lattices are shown to be completely determined by their tolerances, also several sufficient purely lattice-theoretical conditions are presented. In particular, all simple relatively complemented lattices or simple lattices for which the join (meet) of atoms (coatoms) is $1$ ($0$) are of this kind.
