description: We analyze the creation of near-zero modes from would-be zero modes of various topological charge contributions from classical center vortices in SU(2) lattice gauge theory. We show that colorful spherical vortex and instanton configurations have very similar Dirac eigenmodes and also vortex intersections are able to give rise to a finite density of near-zero modes, leading to chiral symmetry breaking via the Banks-Casher formula. We discuss the influence of the magnetic vortex fluxes on quarks and how center vortices may break chiral symmetry.

description: Although query-based systems (QBS) have become one of the main solutions to share data anonymously, building QBSes that robustly protect the privacy of individuals contributing to the dataset is a hard problem. Theoretical solutions relying on differential privacy guarantees are difficult to implement correctly with reasonable accuracy, while ad-hoc solutions might contain unknown vulnerabilities. Evaluating the privacy provided by QBSes must thus be done by evaluating the accuracy of a wide range of privacy attacks. However, existing attacks require time and expertise to develop, need to be manually tailored to the specific systems attacked, and are limited in scope. In this paper, we develop QuerySnout (QS), the first method to automatically discover vulnerabilities in QBSes. QS takes as input a target record and the QBS as a black box, analyzes its behavior on one or more datasets, and outputs a multiset of queries together with a rule to combine answers to them in order to reveal the sensitive attribute of the target record. QS uses evolutionary search techniques based on a novel mutation operator to find a multiset of queries susceptible to lead to an attack, and a machine learning classifier to infer the sensitive attribute from answers to the queries selected. We showcase the versatility of QS by applying it to two attack scenarios, three real-world datasets, and a variety of protection mechanisms. We show the attacks found by QS to consistently equate or outperform, sometimes by a large margin, the best attacks from the literature. We finally show how QS can be extended to QBSes that require a budget, and apply QS to a simple QBS based on the Laplace mechanism. Taken together, our results show how powerful and accurate attacks against QBSes can already be found by an automated system, allowing for highly complex QBSes to be automatically tested "at the pressing of a button".

Narrative limits and other poems
Creators: name: Das, Nabina
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2011

description: I believe the language of poetry always delves deep into the psyche of a writer to connect her history and culture with a larger but fragmentary body of language, literature, and lore that constitute identities. NARRATIVE LIMITS AND OTHER POEMS reflects on concepts such as borders and boundaries, insider and outsider, dispossessed and empowered, categorized and unhinged -- how the (geo)political becomes the linguistic and material. Owing to my upbringing in Assam by parents of the Subcontinental Partition generation, issues of geography and belonging have been a constant question even while I was accorded a Western education. Given that many South Asians still struggle with fragmented identities marked by regions, religions, cartographic lines and other labels, I was encouraged to recognize the legacy of the modern Assamese poet-songwriter Bhupen Hazarika and the ancient Sufi poet Hasan Raja of Bengal in the same breath. The former‟s vision of a world inspired by Paul Robeson‟s show boat song and the latter‟s mystic philosophy of all things disparate provide a narrative thread in this collection. Édouard Glissant‟s notion of the tout-monde (whole world) of human interculturalism and cultural fragmentation in the face of a totalitarian order is also a major influence on my poetry. Questions of „documentation‟ and „orality‟ – not just Glissant‟s reference to a slave ship where the only written „book‟ was the ledger containing exchange value of slaves, but also histories of the South Asian subcontinent – loom as important issues. These poems are a reflection on the interconnectedness of “narratives” that are shaped by identities and sometimes orally transmitted. The collection is divided into three parts – 1. Moonlore from the East, 2. Newsroom Novena, 3. In Perspective. The first part deals with narrations of perceived tradition. The second part is an account of our times, while the third part aims to collate fragmented realities for the speaker as well as for the subject addressed. NARRATIVE LIMITS is impacted both by deep imagism and realism, and owes its existence to diverse masters such as Kay Ryan, Lucille Clifton, Hiren Gohain, Czeslaw Milosz, Robert Hass, Wislawa Szymborska and Arun Kolatkar, to name just a few.
title: Topics in Action Sources of Definiteness of Topic Noun Phrases in Thai Interactive Discourse
Creators: name: Vajrabhaya, Prakaiwan
Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: The notion of topic has been widely discussed in past literature; however, the use of naturally occurring data in these studies, especially in Thai, has been lacking. This study approaches topic from a functionalist standpoint. It uses definiteness, a feature of topics generally agreed upon by scholars, to investigate topic noun phrases (NPs) in the topic with a clausal comment constructionin naturally occurring data in Thai. The main objectives are to identify the sources of definiteness of topic NPs and demonstrate their functions. The data for this study was obtained from the Chulalongkorn University Linguistics Department corpus which partly consists of interactive conversations from a popular traffic radio show, Jor Sor 100, aired in Bangkok, Thailand. Seventy-seven topic NPs selected for this analysis appear in the form of [[NP] topic [NP subject - V / A predicate] comment], and they are marked with the particle /nîi/, a topic marker which derives from a demonstrative. The results show that topic NPs in this study are definite, but their sources of definiteness vary. The majority of these topics are definite through shared background knowledge. Many of these topic NPs are culturally-dependent and reflect the aboutness quality. Others appear as time phrases and reflect a frame setting quality. Additionally, there are tokens of topic NPs that are definite through prior mention. In these uses, speakers of Thai refer back to previously mentioned referents in the form of a topic NP, then more information is added or elaborated in the clausal comment. Hence, these topic NPs reflect the aboutness quality. This study indicates that topic NPs in one language, one construction, one type of register, and marked with one particle, have multiple functions. As a result, topic should not be treated as a unified category within a language or, more importantly, across languages. Topic is neither a single notion nor'has a single function.

The optical potentials and nuclear reaction cross sections for the $n$-$ ^{12}$C and $N$-$ ^{12}$C scattering

description: In this work we extend a previously derived $n$- $^9$Be optical potential up to 500 MeV and apply it to the system $n$- $^{12}$C, finding excellent results for the energy dependence of the total cross sections. Results obtained with a standard optical model calculation are compared to those from the eikonal formalism in order to asses the accuracy of the latter as a function of the nucleon incident energy. For comparison, single folded (s.f.) nucleon-target potentials are also obtained using $^{12}$C densities from different models. These potentials are sensitive to the density used and none of them reproduce the characteristics of the phenomenological potential nor the cross section results. We then calculate nucleus-nucleus ($NN$) potentials and total reaction cross sections for some "normal" and exotic projectile nuclei on $ ^ {12} $C within the eikonal formalism. We find that single folded (S.F.) projectile-target imaginary potentials and double folded (D.F.) potentials can produce similar energy dependence of the reaction cross sections but the S.F. results agree better with experimental data provided the radius parameter of the phenomenological $n$-target potential is allowed to be energy dependent. We conclude that the results previously obtained for a $^9$Be target are quite general, at least for light systems, and that a S.F. $NN$ potential built on a phenomenological nN potential can constitute an interesting and useful alternative to D.F. potentials.

description: Robotic hands with soft surfaces can perform stable grasping, but the high friction of the soft surfaces makes it difficult to release objects, or to perform operations that require sliding. To solve this issue, we previously developed a contact area variable surface (CAVS), whose friction changed according to the load. However, only our fundamental results were previously presented, with detailed analyses not provided. In this study, we first investigated the CAVS friction anisotropy, and demonstrated that the longitudinal direction exhibited a larger ratio of friction change. Next, we proposed a sensible CAVS, capable of providing a variable-friction mechanism, and tested its sensing and control systems in operations requiring switching between sliding and stable-grasping modes. Friction sensing was performed using an embedded camera, and we developed a gripper using the sensible CAVS, considering the CAVS friction anisotropy. In CAVS, the low-friction mode corresponds to a small grasping force, while the high-friction mode corresponds to a greater grasping force. Therefore, by controlling only the friction mode, the gripper mode can be set to either the sliding or stable-grasping mode. Based on this feature, a methodology for controlling the contact mode was constructed. We demonstrated a manipulation involving sliding and stable grasping, and thus verified the efficacy of the developed sensible CAVS.

description: Sentiment analysis is a fundamental and valuable task in NLP. However, due to limitations in data and technological availability, research into sentiment analysis of African languages has been fragmented and lacking. With the recent release of the AfriSenti-SemEval Shared Task 12, hosted as a part of The 17th International Workshop on Semantic Evaluation, an annotated sentiment analysis of 14 African languages was made available. We benchmarked and compared current state-of-art transformer models across 12 languages and compared the performance of training one-model-per-language versus single-model-all-languages. We also evaluated the performance of standard multilingual models and their ability to learn and transfer cross-lingual representation from non-African to African languages. Our results show that despite work in low resource modeling, more data still produces better models on a per-language basis. Models explicitly developed for African languages outperform other models on all tasks. Additionally, no one-model-fits-all solution exists for a per-language evaluation of the models evaluated. Moreover, for some languages with a smaller sample size, a larger multilingual model may perform better than a dedicated per-language model for sentiment classification.

description: This document presents TLS and how to make it secure enough as of 2014 Spring. Of course all the information given here will rot with time. Protocols known as secure will be cracked and will be replaced with better versions. Fortunately we will see that there are ways to assess the current security of your setup, but this explains why you may have to read further from this document to get the up to date knowledge on TLS security. We will first introduce the TLS protocol and its underlying components: X.509 certificates, ciphers, and protocol versions. Next we will have a look at TLS hardening for web servers, and how to plug various vulnerabilities: CRIME, BREACH, BEAST, session renegotiation, Heartbleed, and others. We will finally see how the know-how acquired on hardening web servers can be used for other protocols and tools such as Dovecot, Sendmail, SquirrelMail, RoundCube, and OpenVPN. We assume you already maintain services that use TLS, and have basic TCP/IP network knowledge. Some information will also be useful for the application developer.

description: Real-time air pollution monitoring is a valuable tool for public health and environmental surveillance. In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in air pollution forecasting and monitoring research using artificial neural networks (ANNs). Most of the prior work relied on modeling pollutant concentrations collected from ground-based monitors and meteorological data for long-term forecasting of outdoor ozone, oxides of nitrogen, and PM2.5. Given that traditional, highly sophisticated air quality monitors are expensive and are not universally available, these models cannot adequately serve those not living near pollutant monitoring sites. Furthermore, because prior models were built on physical measurement data collected from sensors, they may not be suitable for predicting public health effects experienced from pollution exposure. This study aims to develop and validate models to nowcast the observed pollution levels using Web search data, which is publicly available in near real-time from major search engines. We developed novel machine learning-based models using both traditional supervised classification methods and state-of-the-art deep learning methods to detect elevated air pollution levels at the US city level, by using generally available meteorological data and aggregate Web-based search volume data derived from Google Trends. We validated the performance of these methods by predicting three critical air pollutants (ozone (O3), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), and fine particulate matter (PM2.5)), across ten major U.S. metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) in 2017 and 2018.

description: This study investigates the determinants of a community-based economy. Especially, it examines the nine different villages which are farming, fishing, mountainous villages at South Chungcheong Province. In this research, I used an interview with the villagers, participant observation of village-meeting and annual festival and literature survey on letters and a diary. Further I applied the approach of Karl Polanyi, who emphasized that livelihood of Man is not structuralized based on rational man and market mechanism, but on social structure that also plays a pivotal role which is known as subjectivism. The findings of this study showed that the community-based economy depends on natural resources, cultural elements as totem, religious factors, sacrificial rites, norm, and social factors like Pumasi, Dure and Goji. These elements impact broadly on livelihood of Man in a sense of household, reciprocity and redistribution. But we have to investigate village economy with the leisure of them. And I hope this article will contribute greatly to economy research on villages.

description: Industrial interest is focused on the development of new pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations aimed at the enhancement of bioavailability of poorly water-soluble active compounds. Various factors influence the bioavailability of an active principle in a solid formulation, such as the particle size distribution, the solid state and the morphology. In order to enhance bioavailability, two different approaches were investigated in this thesis: particle size reduction of pure ingredients and production of amorphous formulations consisting of the dispersion of the hydrophobic molecule into a hydrophilic matrix (carrier). Supercritical fluid (SCFs) based techniques demonstrated to be a valid alternative to traditional processes, given the SCFs specific properties, such as liquid-like density, very fast mass transfer similar to gas, near-zero surface tension, effective solvent elimination. Among SCFs techniques, Supercritical Assisted Atomization (SAA) was successfully used to produce controlled micro and sub-microparticles of pure compounds, but also composite systems. The enhancement of bioavailability of active ingredients is still poorly investigated in the SAA literature. The ability of the SAA process in crystallinity control and particle size reduction is investigated in order to enhance the bioavailability of new active principles, often not feasible through conventional methods. This Ph.D. work is the most recent advance in the application of this supercritical fluid technology for the production of new and stable pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations. ...

description: This study proposed a novel robotic gripper that can achieve grasping and infinite wrist twisting motions using a single actuator. The gripper is equipped with a differential gear mechanism that allows switching between the grasping and twisting motions according to the magnitude of the tip force applied to the finger. The grasping motion is activated when the tip force is below a set value, and the wrist twisting motion is activated when the tip force exceeds this value. "Twist grasping," a special grasping mode that allows the wrapping of a flexible thin object around the fingers of the gripper, can be achieved by the twisting motion. Twist grasping is effective for handling objects with flexible thin parts, such as laminated packaging pouches, that are difficult to grasp using conventional antipodal grasping. In this study, the gripper design is presented, and twist grasping is analyzed. The gripper performance is experimentally validated.

description: Objective testing is a key issue in the process of revision and improvement of seismic hazard assessments. Therefore we continue the rigorous comparative analysis of past and newly available hazard maps for the territory of Italy against the seismic activity observed in reality. The final Global Seismic Hazard Assessment Program (GSHAP) results and the most recent version of Seismic Hazard Harmonization in Europe (SHARE) project maps, along with the reference hazard maps for the Italian seismic code, all obtained by probabilistic seismic hazard assessment (PSHA), are cross-compared to the three ground shaking maps based on the duly physically and mathematically rooted neo-deterministic approach (NDSHA). These eight hazard maps for Italy are tested against the available data on ground shaking. The results of comparison between predicted macroseismic intensities and those reported for past earthquakes (in the time interval from 1000 to 2014 year) show that models provide rather conservative estimates, which tend to over-estimate seismic hazard at the ground shaking levels below the MCS intensity IX. Only exception is represented by the neo-deterministic maps associated with a fixed return period of 475 or 2475 years, which provide a better fit to observations, at the cost of model consistent 10% or 2% cases of exceedance respectively. In terms of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness of fit criterion, although all of the eight hazard maps differ significantly from the distribution of the observed ground shaking reported in the available Italian databases, the NDSHA approach appears to outscore significantly the PSHA one.

description: Building upon the demonstration of coherent control and single-shot readout of the electron and nuclear spins of individual 31-P atoms in silicon, we present here a systematic experimental estimate of quantum gate fidelities using randomized benchmarking of 1-qubit gates in the Clifford group. We apply this analysis to the electron and the ionized 31-P nucleus of a single P donor in isotopically purified 28-Si. We find average gate fidelities of 99.95 % for the electron, and 99.99 % for the nuclear spin. These values are above certain error correction thresholds, and demonstrate the potential of donor-based quantum computing in silicon. By studying the influence of the shape and power of the control pulses, we find evidence that the present limitation to the gate fidelity is mostly related to the external hardware, and not the intrinsic behaviour of the qubit.

description: Long-term and non-standardized migratory bird ringing data can be used in models controlling variation in bird ringing methodology for reliable population trend estimations. Bird ringing data usually cover long periods and might reflect long-term population changes. However, they are mainly derived during non-standardized multi-species catching at numerous sites during the autumn migration period. We searched for the best modelling approach to determine reliable species population dynamics and trend estimation models based on annual multi-species bird ringing data. We used ringing data from the Slovenian Bird Ringing Scheme and selected data in three steps according to temporal, quantitative, and qualitative data selection. Annual indices were constructed based on two types of denominators, ringing days, and ringing totals, vs. a robust model without a denominator. We ran 20 candidate-generalized additive models describing migrating population dynamics for 15 bird species by combining different data selection approaches and denominators. We found that the models were species-specific, although the universal model could also be applied to most species. We propose a general model construction approach for population trend assessments from non-standardized bird ringing data. The estimates obtained by this approach were comparable to the overall European population trends derived from breeding survey data. Bird ringing data from the autumn migration period are a valuable resource for assessing continental scale population trends taking into account the whole population (non-breeders and juveniles included) and even some rare and endangered species, but should be conducted according to standard protocols to ensure reliable statistical inference of population trends.
title: Threats

Publisher: name: Old Dominion University Libraries

description: As J. L. Austin and John Searle point out in their philosophies of language, words communicate more than surface meaning. Some utterances, speech acts, actually stand for actions. A threat is a speech act, but it is difficult to define. This study reviews several examples of threats, such as ( 1) and (2) and analyzes their essential characteristics.

( 1) If you don't give me all your money, I will shoot.

(2) I have a gun.

Threats are found to have three essential features which consistently identify a threat. The threat must indicate a future world which is detrimental for the receiver of the threat. Also the indicator and not someone or something else must bring about the future world. In addition, threats have a consistent function which is supported by the essential features. A threat functions as an assertion of the indicator's power over the receiver. Although threats can vary considerably in form and content, their essential features and function remain constant.

The essential features of threats can also be implicit; thus, the definitions of speech acts cannot be confined to the utterance. The definitions must take context into account. Threats are illocutions; thus, speech act theory will not account for all speech acts unless context becomes part of the theory.

description: Small rodents and amphibians are both important prey items for the Lesser Spotted Eagle Clanga pomarina, and their proportions in the diet depend on their local availability, as well as the degree of involvement of the female in food provisioning to the nestlings, which increases towards the end of the breeding season. To describe the diet composition and aspects of the food supply of the Lesser Spotted Eagle during the nesting period. Cameras were installed at five nests of three pairs of the Lesser Spotted Eagle in eastern Latvia, to collect data on food items brought to the nests. Of 3109 identified prey items, small rodents (43.36%) and amphibians (44.81%) were the most important prey groups. The proportion of common (small rodents and amphibians) and uncommon (moles, birds and others) food items differed between nests and years. Among the common food items, the deficiency of small rodents in some years was compensated for by an increase in frogs and vice versa. Male eagles brought 66% of all food items to the nest. Females brought more amphibians and fewer rodents than did males. After hatching, the mean number of food items delivered to the nest was 6.9 per day. The main activity period of food delivery was between the 3rd to 7th hour after sunrise. The alternative prey hypothesis explains the diet of the Lesser Spotted Eagle in our study area. Rodents and amphibians are food items of equal importance that can replace each other, depending on their availability. The increasing share of amphibians towards the end of the breeding season was mainly a result of an increasing proportion of prey items brought into the nest by females.

description: The electronic properties of Fe-based superconductors are drastically affected by deformations on their crystal structure introduced by doping and pressure. Here we study single crystals of FeSe$_{1-x}$S$_{x}$ and reveal that local crystal deformations such as atomic-scale defects impact the spectral shape of the electronic core level states of the material. By means of scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) we image S-doping induced defects as well as diluted dumbbell defects associated with Fe vacancies. We have access to the electronic structure of the samples by means of X-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS) and show that the spectral shape of the Se core levels can only be adequately described by considering a principal plus a minor component of the electronic states. We find this result for both pure and S-doped samples, irrespective that in the latter case the material presents extra crystal defects associated to doping with S atoms. We argue that the second component in our XPS spectra is associated with the ubiquitous dumbbell defects in FeSe that are known to entail a significant modification of the electronic clouds of surrounding atoms.

Molecular mutations

description: In 2005, the discovery of Janus kinase 2 (JAK2) V617F mutation in approximately half of patients with myelofibrosis (MF) marked an important milestone in our understanding of the pathophysiology of MF. This has broadened our understanding of the disease pathogenesis and became the foundation for the development and subsequent clinical use of JAK inhibitors for MF. However, it is clear that other pathogenetic modifiers contribute to the disease diversity and phenotypic variability of MF. Novel genome scanning technologies were useful in the identification of recurrent molecular mutations in other genes including MPL, TET2, IDH1/2, DNMT3A, SH3B2 (LNK) and CBL in MF pointing out that other pathways might be important in addition to the JAK/STAT pathway. The biologic role and clinical implications of these molecular mutations in MF is currently under investigation. The main challenge is to understand the mechanisms whereby molecular mutations whether alone or in combination with other genetic and non-genetic events contribute to the pathogenesis of MF and eventually can explain the phenotypic variability among the MF patients. In the present review we will provide an overview of the molecular pathogenesis of MF describing past and recent discoveries in molecular markers and their possible relevance in disease phenotype.

description: Symmetry-protected topological phases of matter have challenged our understanding of condensed matter systems and harbour exotic phenomena promising to address major technological challenges. Considerable understanding of these phases of matter has been gained recently by considering additional protecting symmetries, different types of quasiparticles, and systems out of equilibrium. Here, we show that symmetries could be enforced not just on full Hamiltonians, but also on their components. We construct a large class of previously unidentified multiplicative topological phases of matter characterized by tensor product Hilbert spaces similar to the Fock space of multiple particles. To demonstrate our methods, we introduce multiplicative topological phases of matter based on the foundational Hopf and Chern insulator phases, the multiplicative Hopf and Chern insulators (MHI and MCI), respectively. The MHI shows the distinctive properties of the parent phases as well as non-trivial topology of a child phase. We also comment on a similar structure in topological superconductors as these multiplicative phases are protected in part by particle-hole symmetry. The MCI phase realizes topologically-protected gapless states that do not extend from the valence bands to the conduction bands for open boundary conditions, which respect the symmetries protecting topological phase. The band connectivity discovered in the MCI could serve as a blueprint for potential multiplicative topology with exotic properties.

description: Diversity is prevalent in modern software systems. Several system variants exist at the same time in order to adapt to changing user requirements. Additionally, software systems evolve over time in order to adjust to unanticipated changes in their application environment. In modern software development, software architecture modeling is an important means to deal with system complexity by architectural decomposition. This leads to the need of architectural description languages that can represent spatial and temporal variability. In this paper, we present delta modeling of software architectures as a uniform modeling formalism for architectural variability in space and in time. In order to avoid degeneration of the product line model under system evolution, we present refactoring techniques to maintain and improve the quality of the variability model. Using a running example from the automotive domain, we evaluate our approach by carrying out a case study that compares delta modeling with annotative variability modeling.

description: The paper investigates the medium-term imPACts of the 2014-2020 CAP reform in the Italian rice sector, analyzing farm’s structural characteristics and profitability. Using FADN data, first pillar payments and their contribution to income were computed and compared before reform (2012) and in 2019 (at the end of the internal convergence). The data calculated for the 165 farms in the FADN sample were reported to the universe, and show that the support for rice will fall from 979 to 746 €/hectare and 230 million to 176 million overall, with a 24% loss. However, rice farms will keep a higher support, compared to other arable crops farms. The effect of greening obligations on rice farms was also estimated, even if they are largely exempted by the diversification requirements and ecological focus areas.

description: The milk production in Mato Grosso State (Brazil) presents growth in most regions, and the Productive Agglomerate of the Alto Paraguay is the only space that obtained differentiated institutional support during the last decade, becoming a source for reflection on the current socio-economic condition of the milk producers. With an on-site research base and Multivariate Analysis basements, this study aims to define an underlying framework of the determinant factors for the activity’s development in the region. Results show a family activity in the limited stage, mostly in view of managerial problems. The productivity is low because the operational factors and the prices charged do not allow suitable investments to overcome these limitations.
