description: Traditionally, in supervised machine learning, (a significant) part of the available data (usually 50% to 80%) is used for training and the rest for validation. In many problems, however, the data is highly imbalanced in regard to different classes or does not have good coverage of the feasible data space which, in turn, creates problems in validation and usage phase. In this paper, we propose a technique for synthesising feasible and likely data to help balance the classes as well as to boost the performance in terms of confusion matrix as well as overall. The idea, in a nutshell, is to synthesise data samples in close vicinity to the actual data samples specifically for the less represented (minority) classes. This has also implications to the so-called fairness of machine learning. In this paper, we propose a specific method for synthesising data in a way to balance the classes and boost the performance, especially of the minority classes. It is generic and can be applied to different base algorithms, e.g. support vector machine, k-nearest neighbour, deep networks, rule-based classifiers, decision trees, etc. The results demonstrated that: i) a significantly more balanced (and fair) classification results can be achieved; ii) that the overall performance as well as the performance per class measured by confusion matrix can be boosted. In addition, this approach can be very valuable for the cases when the number of actual available labelled data is small which itself is one of the problems of the contemporary machine learning.

description: Much emphasis has been placed on modelling species distributions and less so on the distributional dynamics. It is important to not only ask where species occur, but why and how they reached a specific location. Biological invasions provide an ideal natural experiment for studying the drivers and dynamics of spreading. Here, I examine the drivers and dynamics of the spread of the European Starling, Sturnus vulgaris, in Southern Africa. Since its introduction in Cape Town in 1897, this top invasive avian species has rapidly spread across a large extent of South Africa and is continuously expanding its current range. It is, thus, of great theoretical and management value to elucidate the invasion process and identify key environmental drivers of its range dynamics. The aim of this research is twofold. First, I aim to develop realistic suitable habitat maps for the European Starling in Southern Africa based on multiple climatic and geographic variables using two robust methods of species distribution modelling (SDM), namely maximum entropy (MaxEnt) and boosted regression trees (BRT). Second, I aim to, subsequently, develop a hybrid model that runs a dynamic individual-based model (IBM) on these suitability maps predicted from the SDM. This hybrid model provides an excellent opportunity to incorporate a variety of response regimes on how behavioural strategies and dispersal scenarios respond to environmental and geographic features, and as a result leads to a well-rounded study of the species" distribution dynamics in the region. Independent atlas data and field collections were used to parameterize and later validate the model. This allowed me to further identify an optimal model through a parameter sensitivity analysis sorting of the contribution of each environmental and behavioural features to shaping the past and current geographical range of European Starling. According to the optimal model, starlings can choose among five sites to locate the one with the highest habitat suitability. They tend to avoid moving through areas with a 300 m elevation barrier, and the dispersal distance per year is limited to below 200 km. At the regional scale, the starlings were able to manoeuvre around mountainous regions and avoided the semi-desert regions of the Karoo. Their distribution was mainly driven by high winter precipitation along the low-lying coastal regions. Future projections of their distribution suggested a continuous range expansion throughout the provinces of the Free State, Gauteng, North West (reaching Mahikeng, the capital of North West, in 2022) and Limpopo (reaching Polokwane, the capital of Limpopo, in 2046) as well as into the neighbouring countries of Mozambique and Zimbabwe (reaching Bulawayo, 2nd largest city in Zimbabwe, in 2062).

description: For a recently proposed pure gauge theory in three dimensions, without a Chern-Simons term, we calculate the static interaction potential within the structure of the gauge-invariant variables formalism. The result coincides with that of the Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory in the short distance regime, which shows the confining nature of the potential.

description: The time dependent tidal interaction of the Local Group Dwarf Spheroidal (dS) Galaxies with the Milky Way (MW) can fundamentally affect their dynamical properties. The model developed here extends earlier numerical descriptions of dS-MW tidal interactions. We explore the dynamical evolution of dS systems in circular or elliptical MW orbits in the framework of a parametric oscillator. An analytic model is developed and compared with more general numerical solutions and N-body simulation experiments.

description: We construct both regular and black hole spherically symmetric solutions to the original higher curvature EYM model augmented by a Grassmannian sigma model field in $d=5$ spacetime dimensions. Unlike the original model, the new model supports regular solutions in the flat space limit. We find that a peculiar singular behaviour of the solutions in the original model, persists in the case of the modified model too. A study of the solutions to the Grassmannian model in flat space is also carried out.

description: Jacob Bekenstein's pioneering contributions to the foundations of Gravity cover a broad range of scales, from Black Holes to the entire Universe. He is well known as the father of Black Hole Thermodynamics and the inventor of the TeVeS modified gravity theory. I reflect here on my interaction with him, from the time he supervised me for my MSc project at Ben-Gurion University in the early 1980s to his sabbatical visit at UCL in 2014, about a year before he passed away (sadly just a month before the first LIGO discovery of Gravitational Waves from a Binary Black Hole). His quote "I feel more comfortable in the world if I understand why things are happening" reflects the way he viewed the world as a Physicist as well as his personal belief. He also allegedly said "Sometimes theories are smarter than their inventors".

description: We propose Fabry-Perot cavity with corner reflectors instead of spherical mirrors to reduce the contribution of thermoelastic noise in the coating which is relatively large for spherical mirrors and which prevents the sensitivity better than Standard Quantum Limit (SQL) from being achieved in laser gravitational wave antenna. We demonstrate that thermo-refractive noise in corner reflector (CR) is substantially smaller than SQL. We show that the distortion of main mode of cavity with CR caused by tilt and displacement of one reflector is smaller than for cavity with spherical mirrors. We also consider the distortion caused by small nonperpendicularity of corner facets and by optical inhomogeneity of fused silica which is proposed as a material for corner reflectors.

description: We present the design of a point-and-shoot non-imaging full-Stokes spectropolarimeter dedicated to detecting life on Earth from an orbiting platform like the ISS. We specifically aim to map circular polarization in the spectral features of chlorophyll and other biopigments for our planet as a whole. These non-zero circular polarization signatures are caused by homochirality of the molecular and supramolecular configurations of organic matter, and are considered the most unambiguous biomarker. To achieve a fully solid-state snapshot design, we implement a novel spatial modulation that completely separates the circular and linear polarization channels. The polarization modulator consists of a patterned liquid-crystal quarter-wave plate inside the spectrograph slit, which also constitutes the first optical element of the instrument. This configuration eliminates cross-talk between linear and circular polarization, which is crucial because linear polarization signals are generally much stronger than the circular polarization signals. This leads to a quite unorthodox optical concept for the spectrograph, in which the object and the pupil are switched. We discuss the general design requirements and trade-offs of LSDpol (Life Signature Detection polarimeter), a prototype instrument that is currently under development.

description: It is well established that certain detached eclipsing binary stars exhibit apsidal motions whose value is in disagreement with with calculated deviations from Keplerian motion based on tidal effects and the general theory of relativity. Although many theoretical senarios have been demonstrated to bring calculations into line with observations, all have seemed unlikely for various reasons. In particular, it has been established that the hypothesis of a third star in an orbit almost perpendicular to the orbital plane of the close binary system can explain the anomalous motion in at least some cases. The stability of triple star systems with highly inclined orbits has been in doubt, however. We have found conditions which allow the long term stability of such systems so that the third body hypothesis now seems a likely resolution of the apsidal motion problem. We apply our stability criteria to the cases of AS Cam and DI Her and recommend observations at the new Keck interferometer which should be able to directly observe the third bodies in these systems.

The susceptibility shows Curie-like behavior at the lowest temperatures reached although the staggered magnetisation is found to be finite for $T\to 0$. The doping dependance of the corresponding three-dimensional Neel temperature is also computed.

description: Peer-review publication has become a standard vessel for sharing the knowledge gained in scientific research, with its number increasing exponentially in the recent decades. To this end, robust statistical methods that allow us to synthesize and generalize these knowledge points in published literature, and to develop and test overarching hypotheses, are urgently needed. We here use a meta-analysis and test a few hypotheses on the influence of climate change on biodiversity maintenance in regional ecosystems. Based on the work by Hans van Houwelingen and colleagues in 2002, we developed a maximum likelihood estimate of parameter in random and mixed effect models. This approach was then applied to a real dataset collected from published literature of the impact of ambient temperature increase on species performance. We found that in general, the current and predicted temperature is negatively affecting different species independently of localities. Some taxonomic groups are negatively affected by temperature rise whilst others seem to be robust to the temperature change. Species richness and suitable habitat were found to be the most sensitive species attributes to temperature rise. We classified the methodology used by studies from which we extracted the data in two main groups: observation and modelling. We found that the modelling approach exaggerates the reality found from the observations. The main focus of this study was to add another layer of knowledge on the loss of biodiversity due to climate change, thereby showing that if nothing is done to stabilize the increase of temperature, the current species taxa tolerant to a temperature rise will also be vulnerable, therefore more loss of biodiversity can be expected toward the end of this century.

description: The excitations in honeycomb $α$-Li$_2$IrO$_3$ have been investigated with high-resolution resonant inelastic x-ray scattering (RIXS) at the O K edge. The low-energy response is dominated by a fully resolved ladder of excitations, which we interpret as being due to multi-phonon processes in the presence of strong electron-phonon coupling (EPC). At higher energies, the orbital excitations are shown to be dressed by phonons. The high quality of the data permits a quantitative test of the analytical model for the RIXS cross-section, which has been proposed to describe EPC in transition metal oxides (TMOs). We find that the magnitude of the EPC is comparable to that found for a range of 3d TMOs. This indicates that EPC may be of equal importance in determining the phenomenology displayed by corresponding 5d based systems.

description: Between the 1770s and 1820s six elite women originating from the Poland’s magnateria traversed Europe. Their itineraries, at times carefully planned, other times highly improvised, followed established routes. Their experiences of visiting sites of artistic and historical importance, and interacting with foreign elites, were predictable. On the surface, their travels were like many others. However, investigating their private or semi-public travelogues and correspondence prove otherwise, exposing the unique character of each of these journeys and individuality of each of the travellers. This thesis seeks to act as the first comprehensive study of manuscript travel writing by Polish women. It addresses three shortcomings in research into European travel, female travel, private and semi-public travel writing, and Polish women, bringing these research disciplines together. Firstly, it uncovers a large disregard for female travel accounts, especially where women are not presented as rare and rebellious individuals set against the backdrop of numerous male travellers, but rather as members of travelling groups, extending their agency in family and estate management into non-domestic settings. Secondly, this study addresses the shortage of research into manuscript source material, life-writing, which was intended for limited audiences or none at all, and which was therefore not intended for public readership by the authors. Thirdly, it exposes a predominant focus of current research on ‘Western’ European travel. From finding emotional comfort after the deaths of children, to reconnecting with family, to planning honeymoons delayed by wars, to supervising children’s education, this thesis reveals the wealth of these women’s motivations for travelling and writing, as well as the variety of topics addressed by them throughout manuscript accounts – topics which were rarely discussed in travelogues shared with public readership. This study portrays them as uncensored, often overlooked, commentators of everyday experiences, expressing their thoughts, judgements and emotions in a fashion not seen in non-private accounts catering to readers’ expectations. Finally, it presents Polish history as European history, showcasing how integrated into European societies these Polish women were throughout their travels, and arguing against the concept of ‘Eastern Europe.’

description: We use numerical simulation to investigate and analyze the way that rigid disks and spheres arrange themselves when compressed next to incommensurate substrates. For disks, a movable set is pressed into a jammed state against an ordered fixed line of larger disks, where the diameter ratio of movable to fixed disks is 0.8. The corresponding diameter ratio for the sphere simulations is 0.7, where the fixed substrate has the structure of a (001) plane of a face-centered cubic array. Results obtained for both disks and spheres exhibit various forms of density-reducing packing frustration next to the incommensurate substrate, including some cases displaying disorder that extends far from the substrate. The disk system calculations strongly suggest that the most efficient (highest density) packings involve configurations that are periodic in the lateral direction parallel to the substrate, with substantial geometric disruption only occurring near the substrate. Some evidence has also emerged suggesting that for the sphere systems a corresponding structure doubly periodic in the lateral directions would yield the highest packing density; however all of the sphere simulations completed thus far produced some residual "bulk" disorder not obviously resulting from substrate mismatch. In view of the fact that the cases studied here represent only a small subset of all that eventually deserve attention, we end with discussion of the directions in which first extensions of the present simulations might profitably be pursued.

description: We report the discovery of a large-scale structure of Lyman alpha emitters (LAEs) at z=4.86 based on wide-field imaging with the prime-focus camera (Suprime-Cam) on the Subaru telescope. We observed a 25' x 45' area of the Subaru Deep Field in a narrow band (NB, lambdaC=7126 A and FWHM=73 A) together with R and i'. We isolate from these data 43 LAE candidates down to NB=25.5 mag using color criteria. Follow-up spectroscopy of five candidates suggests the contamination by low-z objects to be ~ 20%. We find that the LAE candidates are clustered in an elongated region on the sky of 20 Mpc in width and 50 Mpc in length at z=4.86, which is comparable in size to present-day large-scale structures (we adopt H0=70 km/s/Mpc, Omega0=0.3, lambda0=0.7). This elongated region includes a circular region of 12 Mpc radius of higher surface overdensity (delta=2), which may be the progenitor of a cluster of galaxies. Assuming this circular region to be a sphere with a spatial overdensity of 2, we compare our observation with predictions by Cold Dark Matter models. We find that an Omega0=0.3 flat model with sigma8=0.9 predicts the number of such spheres consistent with the observed number (one sphere in our survey volume) if the bias parameter of LAEs is b \simeq 6. This value suggests that the typical mass of dark haloes hosting LAEs at z \simeq 5 is of the order of 10^12 Msolar. Such a large mass poses an interesting question about the nature of LAEs.

description: We report the first detection obtained with ALMA of the [N II] 122$μ$m line emission from a galaxy group BRI 1202-0725 at $z=4.69$ consisting of a QSO and a submilimeter-bright galaxy (SMG). Combining with a detection of [N II] 205$μ$m line in both galaxies, we constrain the electron densities of the ionized gas based on the line ratio of [NII]122/205. The derived electron densities are $26^{+12}_{-11}$ and $134^{+50}_{-39}$ cm$^{-3}$ for the SMG and the QSO, respectively. The electron density of the SMG is similar to that of the Galactic Plane and to the average of the local spirals. Higher electron densities by up to a factor of three could, however, be possible for systematic uncertainties of the line flux estimates. The electron density of the QSO is comparable to high-$z$ star-forming galaxies at $z=1.5-2.3$, obtained using rest-frame optical lines and with the lower limits suggested from stacking analysis on lensed starbursts at $z=1-3.6$ using the same tracer of [NII]. Our results suggest a large scatter of electron densities in global scale at fixed star formation rates for extreme starbursts. The success of the [N II] 122$μ$m and 205$μ$m detections at $z=4.69$ demonstrates the power of future systematic surveys of extreme starbursts at $z>4$ for probing the ISM conditions and the effects on surrounding environments.

description: In this contribution to the proceedings of the International Nuclear Physics Conference 2019, I review recent developments made in reaction models used to analyse data measured at radioactive-ion beam facilities to study exotic nuclear structures. I focus in particular on reactions like elastic scattering and breakup, which are used to study halo nuclei. Although these peculiar nuclei challenge usual nuclear-structure models, some can now be computed ab initio. This brief review illustrates the progresses made in nuclear-reaction theory in the last few years to improve the description of the projectile within reaction models. I dedicate this contribution to the memory of Mahir Hussein, who has significantly contributed to this field and who passed away in May this year.

description: EROS 2 (Experience de Recherche d'Objets Sombres) conducted a survey of the SMC between July 1996 and February 2003 in two EROS broad-band colours, V_E and R_E. The photometric data of 4.2 million stars have been searched for behaviour typical of R Coronae Borealis (RCB) candidates such as drastic changes in magnitude. Five objects have been found, four of them being catalogued in the Simbad database as RAW 21, RAW 233, RAW 476, and [MH95] 431 with confirmed carbon-rich atmospheres, characteristic of RCB. From the EROS 2 light curve of RAW 21 and its spectrum reported by Morgan et al. (2003), we confirm that it is the first RCB to be found in the SMC. The other objects are new RCB candidates with absolute luminosity and colour close to those found for RCBs in the LMC. We propose that 2 of them are DY Per-like RCBs.

description: We study the \N=4 SYM theory with SU(N) gauge group in the large N limit, deformed by giving equal mass to the four adjoint fermions. With this modification, a potential is dynamically generated for the six scalars in the theory, ϕ^i. We show that the resulting theory is stable (perturbatively in the 't Hooft coupling), and that there are some indications that =0 is the vacuum of the theory. Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we compare the results to the corresponding supergravity computation, i.e. brane probing a deformed AdS_5 x S^5 background, and we find qualitative agreement.

description: We study NSR strings in the Nappi-Witten background, which is the Penrose limit of a certain NS5-brane supergravity solution. We solve the theory in the light-cone gauge, obtaining the spectrum, which is space-time supersymmetric. In light of the LST/NS5-brane duality, this spectrum should be in correspondence with the states of little string theory in the appropriate limit. A semiclassical analysis verifies that the relationship between energy and angular momentum, after a field redefinition, matches the known result for a flat background.

Metastability as a coexistence mechanism in a model for dryland vegetation patterns
Creators: name: Eigentler, Lukas

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Populations and Evolution (q-bio.PE)
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: Vegetation patterns are a ubiquitous feature of water-deprived ecosystems. Despite the competition for the same limiting resource, coexistence of several plant species is commonly observed. We propose a two-species reaction-diffusion model based on the single-species Klausmeier model, to analytically investigate the existence of states in which both species coexist. Ecologically, the study finds that coexistence is supported if there is a small difference in the plant species' average fitness, measured by the ratio of a species' capabilities to convert water into new biomass to its mortality rate. Mathematically, coexistence is not a stable solution of the system, but both spatially uniform and patterned coexistence states occur as metastable states. In this context, a metastable solution in which both species coexist corresponds to a long transient (exceeding $10^3$ years in dimensional parameters) to a stable one-species state. This behaviour is characterised by the small size of a positive eigenvalue which has the same order of magnitude as the average fitness difference between the two species. Two mechanisms causing the occurrence of metastable solutions are established: a spatially uniform unstable equilibrium and a stable one-species pattern which is unstable to the introduction of a competitor. We further discuss effects of asymmetric interspecific competition (e.g. shading) on the metastability property.

description: We present three reasons for the formation of gravitational bound states of primordial black holes,called holeums,in the early universe.Using Newtonian gravity and nonrelativistic quantum mechanics we find a purely quantum mechanical mass-dependant exclusion property for the nonoverlap of the constituent black holes in a holeum.This ensures that the holeum occupies space just like ordinary matter.A holeum emits only gravitational radiation whose spectrum is an exact analogue of that of a hydrogen atom. A part of this spectrum lies in the region accessible to the detectors being built.The holeums would form haloes around the galaxies and would be an important component of the dark matter in the universe today.They may also be the constituents of the invisible domain walls in the universe.
