description: This article presents the results of an experiment performed on a machine learning edge computing platform composed of a virtualized environment with a K3s cluster and Kubeflow software. The study aimed to analyse the effectiveness of executing Kubeflow pipelines for simulated parallel executions. A benchmarking environment was developed for the experiment to allow system performance measurements based on parameters, including the number of pipelines and nodes. The results demonstrate the impact of the number of cluster nodes on computational time, revealing insights that could inform future decisions regarding increasing the effectiveness of running machine learning pipelines on edge devices.

description: The aim of this work is to provided the details of a calculation summarized in the recent paper by Maltz and Susskind which conjectured a potentially rigorous framework where the status of de Sitter space is the same as that of a resonance in a scattering process. The conjecture being that transition amplitudes between certain states with asymptotically supersymmetric flat vacua contain resonant poles characteristic metastable intermediate states. A calculation employing constrained instantons is presented that illustrates this idea.

Strong Klee-Andô Theorems through an Open Mapping Theorem for cone-valued multi-functions

Subjects: subject: Functional Analysis (math.FA)

subject: 46B20, 46A30, 46B40, 32A12

description: A version of the classical Klee-Andô Theorem states the following: For every Banach space $X$, ordered by a closed generating cone $C\subseteq X$, there exists some $α>0$ so that, for every $x\in X$, there exist $x^{\pm}\in C$ so that $x=x^{+}-x^{-}$ and $\|x^{+}\|+\|x^{-}\|\leqα\|x\|$. The conclusion of the Klee-Andô Theorem is what is known as a conormality property. We prove stronger and somewhat more general versions of the Klee-Andô Theorem for both conormality and coadditivity (a property that is intimately related to conormality). A corollary to our result shows that the functions $x\mapsto x^{\pm}$, as above, may be chosen to be bounded, continuous, and positively homogeneous, with a similar conclusion yielded for coadditivity. Furthermore, we show that the Klee-Andô Theorem generalizes beyond ordered Banach spaces to Banach spaces endowed with arbitrary collections of cones. Proofs of our Klee-Andô Theorems are achieved through an Open Mapping Theorem for cone-valued multi-functions/correspondences. We very briefly discuss a potential further strengthening of The Klee-Andô Theorem beyond what is proven in this paper, and motivate a conjecture that there exists a Banach space $X$, ordered by a closed generating cone $C\subseteq X$, for which there exist no Lipschitz functions $(\cdot)^{\pm}:X\to C$ satisfying $x=x^{+}-x^{-}$ for all $x\in X$.

title: Fermions coupled to solitons on low-dimensional spheres
Creators: name: McKenna, Jack
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2023

description: We examine models of Dirac fermions coupled to topological solitons on the circle S1 and the sphere S2. The fermion is coupled to a pseudoscalar kink in the (1+1)-dimensional model, and to an isovector modelling a baby Skyrmion in the (2+1)-dimensional model. In each case, we solve the spectrum of the fermionic Hamiltonian exactly when the soliton field is kept fixed as a background field, and the fermion dynamics do not cause any back-reaction on the soliton field. In the (1+1)-dimensional model, we then bring the kink field out of the background, fully coupling it to the fermion field. After a change of coordinates to a set of bosonic coordinates constructed out of bispinors, we demonstrate that solutions to the bosonic dynamical system can be understood analytically via the framework of elliptic functions. We show that for a particular class of solutions with no axial charge, we can recover the underlying fermion field from the bispinor solution. In the (2+1)-dimensional model we specialise to the case of the background soliton of topological degree 1 and exploit an SU(2) symmetry to describe the fermion spectrum.

description: We investigate the inflationary predictions of a simple Horndeski theory where the inflaton scalar field has a non-minimal derivative coupling (NMDC) to the Einstein tensor. The NMDC is very motivated for the construction of successful models for inflation, nevertheless its inflationary predictions are not observationally distinct. We show that it is possible to probe the effects of the NMDC on the CMB observables by taking into account both the dynamics of the inflationary slow-roll phase and the subsequent reheating. We perform a comparative study between representative inflationary models with canonical fields minimally coupled to gravity and models with NMDC. We find that the inflation models with dominant NMDC generically predict a higher reheating temperature and a different range for the tilt of the scalar perturbation spectrum $n_s$ and scalar-to-tensor ratio $r$, potentially testable by current and future CMB experiments.

Quasielectrons as inverse quasiholes in lattice fractional quantum Hall models

description: From an experimental point of view, quasielectrons and quasiholes play very similar roles in the fractional quantum Hall effect. Nevertheless, the theoretical description of quasielectrons is known to be much harder than the one of quasiholes. The problem is that one obtains a singularity in the wavefunction if one tries to naively construct the quasielectron as the inverse of the quasihole. Here, we demonstrate that the same problem does not arise in lattice fractional quantum Hall models. This result allows us to make detailed investigations of the properties of quasielectrons, including their braiding statistics and density distribution on lattices on the plane and on the torus. We show that some of the states considered have high overlap with certain fractional Chern insulator states. We also derive few-body Hamiltonians, for which various states containing quasielectrons are exact ground states.

Die Messzeit verringertsich dabei deutlich und die Spektren sind einfacher zu interpretierenals bei den bislang bekannten Methoden. Die im Experiment auftretende Signalformkonnte detailgetreu durch die in dieser Arbeit geleistete theoretischeBeschreibung der Signalerzeugung wiedergegeben werden.Der immense Vorteil der gepulsten Anregung ist die freie Entwicklungder Kernspins w¨ahrend der Detektionszeit. Zudem wird es erm¨oglicht, verschiedeneZeitabh¨angigkeiten in Pulsfolgen zu bestimmen. Dass diese Messmethodees erm¨oglichen wird, detailreiche mehrdimensionale NMR Messungendurchzuf¨uhren, haben erste beispielhafte Messungen in einem einzelnenQuantentopf gezeigt.Bei der gepulsten optisch detektierten NMR ist es dar¨uber hinaus nichtmehr notwendig, einen Monochromator zur Selektion des jeweiligen Quantentopfeszu benutzen, da durch die Modulation des Lichtes mit der Larmorfrequenzdas NMR Signal selektiert werden kann und zudem nur der geradeoptisch gepumpte Quantentopf ein NMR Signal erzeugt.
title: Die Affäre Losembe und die schweizerisch-zairischen Beziehungen 1972–1974

description: Von 1972 bis 1974 bestimmte die Affäre Losembe die diplomatischen Beziehungen zwischen der Schweiz und der Republik Zaire unter Präsident Mobutu. Zaire forderte die Auslieferung des in die Schweiz geflohenen ehemaligen Spitzenpolitikers Batwanyele Losembe, der in seiner Heimat der Hinterziehung öffentlicher Gelder und des Hochverrats beschuldigt wurde. Im von Bundesrat Graber geführten Eidgenössischen Politischen Departement (EPD) prägte die Wahrung aussenwirtschaftlicher Interessen die Aussenpolitik, wogegen menschenrechtliche Bedenken kaum eine Rolle spielten. Der Haltung von EPD und Bundesrat stand zumindest anfänglich die Position des Eidgenössischen Justiz- und Polizeidepartements (EJPD) gegenüber, während ein Grossteil der Schweizer Presse heftig protestierte und die Auslieferung schliesslich durch einen Bundesgerichtsentscheid gestoppt wurde. Die Affäre Losembe beleuchtet die Vielschichtigkeit im aussenpolitischen Gestaltungsprozess und wirft gleichzeitig ein Schlaglicht auf das konfliktreiche Verhältnis von Aussenpolitik, Aussenwirtschaft und Menschenrechten in der Schweiz des Kalten Krieges.
description: From 1972 to 1974, the Losembe affair defined diplomatic relations between Switzerland and the Republic of Zaire, led by President Mobutu. Zaire requested the extradition of former high-ranking politician Batwanyele Losembe, who had fled to Switzerland after being accused in his home country of misappropriating public funds and of high treason. In the Federal Political Department (FPD) under Federal Councillor Graber, foreign policy was shaped by the protection of foreign economic interests, with human rights concerns playing a lesser role. The FPD and the Federal Council’s stance was, at least initially, opposed by the position of the Federal Department of Justice and Police (FDJP), while a large part of the Swiss press voiced vehement protest, and the extradition was finally stopped by a Federal Court decision. The Losembe affair sheds light on the multi-layered nature of foreign policy and at the same time highlights the conflict-laden relationship between foreign policy, foreign trade and human rights in Cold War Switzerland.

description: Application of radar technology enables remote breathing and heart rate monitoring by analyzing motion waveforms, which are recon-structed from phase signals extracted from radar-delivered data. However, nonlinear deformations introduced by phase recovery procedure make accu-rate motion reconstruction highly challenging, especially for millimeter-long waves that are commonly generated by state-of-the-art radar devices. In the presented paper we show that a GRU-based neural predictor is capable of correct phase unwrapping under presence of noise (originating e.g. from random subject’s movements), enabling vital parameter monitoring in real-istic scenarios, which cannot be accomplished using standard approaches.

description: 3D Ultrasound Computed Tomography (USCT) is an imaging method for early breast cancer detection. The third generation 3 USCT device is developed at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. The USCT III device has a hemispherical transducer distribution and emits and receives nearly spherical waves. This enables reflection and transmission imaging simultaneously and fully in 3D. The main challenges for the front-end design are to integrate a large number of transducers, to allow high voltage coded excitation, and to receive low amplitude signals with high quality. These challenges were solved using a smart sensor frontend design with a custom application specific integrated circuit (ASIC).

description: In this paper we provide a sufficient condition for a prime to be a congruence prime for an automorphic form $f$ on the unitary group $U(n,n)(A_F)$ for a large class of totally real fields $F$ via a divisibility of a special value of the standard $L$-function associated to $f$. We also study $\ell$-adic properties of the Fourier coefficients of an Ikeda lift $I_ϕ$ (of an elliptic modular form $ϕ$) on $U(n,n)(A_{\mathbf{Q}})$ proving that they are $\ell$-adic integers which do not all vanish modulo $\ell$. Finally we combine these results to show that the condition of $\ell$ being a congruence prime for $I_ϕ$ is controlled by the $\ell$-divisibility of a product of special values of the symmetric square $L$-function of $ϕ$. We close the paper by computing an example when our main theorem applies.

description: Zur Realisierung von Applikationen aus den Bereichen Smart Home, Ambient Assisted Living und E-Health ist es notwendig, eine Vielzahl von kleinen ressourcenbeschränkten Systemen zu vernetzen. Dazu eignen sich drahtlose Kommunikationslösungen mit niedrigen Datenraten und energiesparender Arbeitsweise. Damit erhalten neben den bereits weitverbreiteten hochratigen Technologien, wie WLAN, PLC und Ethernet, niederratige Kommunikationstechnologien Einzug in den Heimbereich. Eine intelligente Kombination und Interaktion zwischen beiden Netzwerken verspricht vielfältige Vorteile. Wenn z.B. zunehmend Switches, Access Points oder Mediengeräte mit niederratigen Schnittstellen ausgestattet werden, erhalten diese nicht nur Zugriff auf Heimautomatisierungsgeräte, sondern können auch über diese energiesparende Schnittstelle untereinander kommunizieren. Ein solches dediziertes Signalisierungsnetzwerk kann dazu dienen, das hochratige Netzwerk zu parametrisieren. In diesem Beitrag wird ein Verfahren vorgestellt, das über die niederratige Technologie Informationen über benötigte und nicht benötigte hochratige Schnittstellen austauscht. Unbenutzte Schnittstellen werden gezielt abgeschaltet. Mit Hilfe von Simulationen wird gezeigt, dass solche Verfahren erhebliche Energieeinsparungen der Heimnetzwerkinfrastruktur ermöglichen.

description: Suitable methods to realize a multi-dimensional fractionation of microparticles smaller than 10μm diameter are still rare. In the present study, size and density fractionation is investigated for 3.55μm and 9.87μm particles in a sharp-corner serpentine microchannel of cross-sectional aspect ratio h/w=0.25. Experimental results are obtained through Astigmatism Particle Tracking Velocimetry (APTV) measurements, from which three-dimensional particle distributions are reconstructed for Reynolds numbers between 100 and 150. The 3D reconstruction shows for the first time that equilibrium trajectories do not only develop over the channel width, i.e. in-plane equilibrium positions but also over the channel height at different out-of-plane positions. With increasing Reynolds number, 9.87μm polystyrene (ρPS=1.05gcm−3) and melamine (ρMF=1.51gcm−3) particles focus on two trajectories near the channel bisector. In contrast to this, it is shown that 3.55μm polystyrene particles develop four equilibrium trajectories at different in-plane and out-of-plane positions up to a critical Reynolds number. Beyond this critical Reynolds number, also these particles merge to two trajectories at different channel heights. While the rearrangement of 3.55μm polystyrene particles just starts beyond Re>140, 9.87μm polystyrene particles undergo this rearrangement already at Re=100. As the equilibrium trajectories of these two particle groups are located at similar out-of-plane positions, outlet geometries that aim to separate particles along the channel width turn out to be a good choice for size fractionation. Indeed, polystyrene particles of different size assume laterally well-separated equilibrium trajectories such that a size fractionation of nearly 100% at Re=110 can be achieved.

description: Elkik established a remarkable theorem that can be applied for any noetherian henselian ring. For algebraic equations with a formal solution (restricted by some smoothness assumption), this theorem provides a solution adically close to the formal one in the base ring. In this paper, we show that the theorem would fail for some non-noetherian henselian rings. These rings do not satisfy several conditions weaker than noetherianness, such as weak proregularity (due to Grothendieck et al.) of the defining ideal. We describe the resulting pathologies.

Playing social justice: How do early childhood teachers enact the right to play through resistance and subversion?
Creators: name: Albin-Clark, Jo
name: Archer, Nathan
Publisher: name: PRISM: Casting New Light on Learning, Theory and Practice
Year: 2023

description: In this paper we narrate how two teachers enact playful pedagogies by resisting the single story of formalised learning discourses in early childhood education and care. Playful learning is well established in international literature and children have the right to play. Yet in contemporary outcomes-driven policy, adult-led formalised teaching has become normalised at the expense of child-initiated play. Play is thus marginalised; positioned as a privilege rather than as a right and dependent on views of children as capable holders of rights. Here, we position play in relation to democracy, equity and social justice by storying how teachers’ circumvent scrutiny to facilitate the right to play and we argue this as a fruitful sub-context for resistance. From this perspective, teachers’ resistances do not just enable play, they embody and enact representative and democratic justice. Firstly, teachers story representative forms of social justice as ‘being the right thing’ in making play happen. Secondly, teachers enact democratic forms of social justice through resistance actions of ‘doing the right thing’ that entangle an emotional vulnerability to scrutiny. Adopting alternative resistance positions shifts play beyond a privilege and creates transformational spaces for social justice where time, space and materiality have a role to play. We call on teachers and educators to deepen their critical awareness of the narrowness of a single story of learning and the rich relationships between rights and play agendas. We assert that teachers’ resistances can enable playful pedagogies and act as hopeful storytelling of social justice as serious play.

This brought us new challenges. In this paper, we propose a method for photovoltaic power production forecasting. We compared our model with a state-of-the-art Auto Regressive model. We used Mean Absolute Error and Mean Absolute Per-centage Error as metrics. Finally, our model turned out to be statistically better than reference model in generating one-hour and two-and-a-half-hour forecasts.

description: Connectivity and relatedness of Web resources are two concepts that define to what extent different parts are connected or related to one another. Measuring connectivity and relatedness between Web resources is a growing field of research, often the starting point of recommender systems. Although relatedness is liable to subjective interpretations, connectivity is not. Given the Semantic Web's ability of linking Web resources, connectivity can be measured by exploiting the links between entities. Further, these connections can be exploited to uncover relationships between Web resources. In this paper, we apply and expand a relationship assessment methodology from social network theory to measure the connectivity between documents. The connectivity measures are used to identify connected and related Web resources. Our approach is able to expose relations that traditional text-based approaches fail to identify. We validate and assess our proposed approaches through an evaluation on a real world dataset, where results show that the proposed techniques outperform state of the art approaches.

description: We study the quantum capacitance in a topological insulator thin film system magnetized in the in-plane direction in the presence of an out-of-plane magnetic field and hexagonal warping. To first order, the modification in quantum capacitance due to hexagonal warping compared to the clean case, where both the in-plane magnetization and hexagonal warping are absent, is always negative, and increases in magnitude monotonically with the energy difference from the charge neutrality point. In contrast, the change in the quantum capacitance due to in-plane magnetization oscillates with the energy in general, except when a certain relation between the inter-surface coupling, out of plane Zeeman energy splitting and magnetic field strength is satisfied. In this special case, the quantum capacitance remains unchanged by the in-plane magnetization for all energies.

description: The COVID-19 pandemic that started in 2020 had a negative influence on many businesses worldwide, leading to financial uncertainties within different business areas. As a result, many companies were unable to pay their monthly electricity usage on time to energy suppliers. This created a continuous loop of accumulating financial liabilities for many companies that rely on services from others, while not being able to pay timely. To remain competitive during such difficult times with focus on limiting financial losses, energy suppliers rely on the power of data to optimize business to business customer processes. One method is by using machine learning to improve current debtor models that predict the probability of default. This paper presents an analysis of customer payment behaviour data using advanced machine learning approaches, such as XGBoost, LightGBM and LSTM, to anticipate the probability of default as a main business delivery. Results of this work show that LSTM outperforms the current debtors models as it utilizes the persisting trends changes in the second half of 2020 and focuses on the most significant customer segmentation groups such as high/low monthly payers and high/low credit risks scores.

description: Since the outbreak of the 2007 global financial crisis, the unique yield curve assumption in interest rate modelling has been challenged due to unprecedented segmentation of curves. The interest rate modelling has then entered a new era, known as multi-curve interest rate modelling .The aim of this thesis is to implement our proposed models under the HJM framework in the multi-curve setting, including model calibration to rates that being considered as the the new "risk-free" rate, known as the Overnight Indexed Swap (OIS) rate.

description: To assess the cost-effectiveness of Arg16Gly ADRB2 pharmacogenomic testing compared with no Arg16Gly ADRB2 testing to guide the use of long-acting β2 receptor agonist (LABA) in asthma patients aged 1 to 5 years in China. This economic evaluation developed a Markov model with four health states (no exacerbation, mild exacerbation, moderate-to-severe exacerbation, and death). Transition probabilities were estimated from the rate of exacerbations, the case-fatality rate of patients hospitalized for exacerbations, and natural mortality. Costs included drug costs and exacerbation management costs. Cost inputs and utilities for each health state were gained from public databases and the literatures. Costs and quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) were estimated for ten years. Deterministic and probabilistic sensitivity analyses were performed. In the base case analysis, in contrast to the group without the genotype test, the incremental total cost was -¥334.7, and the incremental QALY was 0.001 in the Arg16Gly ADRB2 genotyping group. Therefore, the Arg16Gly ADRB2 test group was the dominant strategy for children with asthma in China. The sensitivity analyses showed that the model was relatively stable. Arg16Gly ADRB2 testing before using LABA is a cost-effective approach compared with no gene testing for pediatric asthma.

description: In recent years, concepts and methods of complex networks have been employed to tackle the word sense disambiguation (WSD) task by representing words as nodes, which are connected if they are semantically similar. Despite the increasingly number of studies carried out with such models, most of them use networks just to represent the data, while the pattern recognition performed on the attribute space is performed using traditional learning techniques. In other words, the structural relationship between words have not been explicitly used in the pattern recognition process. In addition, only a few investigations have probed the suitability of representations based on bipartite networks and graphs (bigraphs) for the problem, as many approaches consider all possible links between words. In this context, we assess the relevance of a bipartite network model representing both feature words (i.e. the words characterizing the context) and target (ambiguous) words to solve ambiguities in written texts. Here, we focus on the semantical relationships between these two type of words, disregarding the relationships between feature words. In special, the proposed method not only serves to represent texts as graphs, but also constructs a structure on which the discrimination of senses is accomplished. Our results revealed that the proposed learning algorithm in such bipartite networks provides excellent results mostly when topical features are employed to characterize the context. Surprisingly, our method even outperformed the support vector machine algorithm in particular cases, with the advantage of being robust even if a small training dataset is available. Taken together, the results obtained here show that the proposed representation/classification method might be useful to improve the semantical characterization of written texts.

description: In recent years, machine learning algorithms have been widely used in marketing to address the challenges posed by increasingly complex marketing contexts and large-scale unstructured data. Marketing researchers also have emphasized the need to prioritize accurate estimates of causal effects using machine learning algorithms. This dissertation aims to extend the application of machine learning algorithms to consumer choices, incorporating the two themes outlined above. In the first essay, we employ an advanced machine learning algorithm in the causal inference-generalized synthetic control (GSC) method to investigate the impact of household store choices on household sustainability. Specifically, we examine the effect of shopping at club stores on a household's food carbon footprint. Using a process-based Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) model and Nielsen Consumer Panel data, we calculate the household-level food carbon footprint between 2007 and 2017. Using GSC and Diff-in-Diff approaches, we find a consistent average treatment effect indicating that households generate 7-9% more per capita carbon emissions after purchasing groceries at club stores. We also observe a heterogeneous treatment effect that shows a larger increase for low-income and small households. Furthermore, we find that larger package sizes in club stores have a more significant impact on increasing the food carbon footprint. Our study is the first in the marketing field to introduce a carbon emissions calculation model and explore the relationship between retail formats and household sustainability. These findings have significant implications for policymakers and managers. In the second essay, we apply text mining algorithms to understand users' choices in the crowdfunding market using unstructured data. Specifically, we investigate how changes in platform specialization in terms of platform size and backers' composition (i.e., donors vs. buyers) influence platform participant behaviors and campaign outcomes in the event of a crowdfunding platform split-up. Our results show a higher probability of reaching funding goals for campaigns on a reward-based platform (main platform) after the launch of a donation-based platform. This is due to fewer campaigns being launched on the main platform after the split, and creators providing more visual campaign information (i.e., images and videos) to mitigate information asymmetry that is more of a concern after the platform split-up, as the increased proportion of buyers, who are more sensitive to such visual information than donors. Our findings support the notion that potential backers' motivations for supporting a campaign drive creators' information disclosure strategies. The study provides significant managerial implications for platforms and participants.

description: This document contains the final report of the project "A new CLARIN Resource Family for lexical semantic change research", funded by CLARIN-ERIC through the CLARIN Resource Families project for the period from 1/11/2022 to 30/06/2023. Proposing team: Barbara McGillivray (King’s College London) and Fahad Khan (ILC-CNR).
 Research assistant: Paola Marongiu (University of Neuchâtel). The report describes the work done during the project and its outputs.
 We first provide a concise introduction to the future CLARIN Resource Family (CRF). In this overview, we highlight the significance of the CRF for researchers studying Lexical Semantic Change (LSC). We delve into the structure of the future CRF, discussing the specific types of resources it should encompass. Furthermore, we explore the relevance of existing resources within CLARIN to this newly proposed CRF. Next, we illustrate the following outputs: 1) Workflows: this section hosts the description of six different workflows that illustrate how the prospective
 CRF can be a valuable resource in LSC research for different research fields. We illustrate examples from lexicology, legal studies, history, cultural history/history of ideas, lexicography, natural language processing. 2) A survey on the existing tools and resources for diachronic lexical semantic analyses 3) Preliminary guidelines for manual annotation of word senses in textual corpora 4) CLARIN Café (slides and tutorial document)
