description: Image coaddition is one of the most basic operations that astronomers perform. In Paper~I, we presented the optimal ways to coadd images in order to detect faint sources and to perfrom flux measurements under the assumption that the noise is approximately Gaussian. Here, we build on these results and derive from first principles a coaddition technique which is optimal for any hypothesis testing and measurement (e.g., source detection, flux or shape measurements and star/galaxy separation), in the background-noise-dominated case. This method has several important properties. The pixels of the resulting coadd image are uncorrelated. This image preserves all the information (from the original individual images) on all spatial frequencies. Any hypothesis testing or measurement that can be done on all the individual images simultaneously, can be done on the coadded image without any loss of information. The PSF of this image is typically as narrow, or narrower than the PSF of the best image in the ensemble. Moreover, this image is practically indistinguishable from a regular single image, meaning that any code that measures any property on a regular astronomical image can be applied to it unchanged. In particular, the optimal source detection statistic derived in paper~I is reproduced by matched filtering this image with its own PSF. This coaddition process, which we call proper coaddition, can be understood as a the maximum signal-to-noise ratio measurement of the Fourier transform of the image, weighted in such a way that the noise in the entire Fourier domain is of equal variance. This method has important implications for multi-epoch seeing-limited deep surveys, weak lensing galaxy shape measurements, and diffraction-limited imaging via speckle observations. The last topic will be covered in depth in future papers. We provide an implementation of this algorithm in MATLAB.

description: The boundary contribution of an amplitude in the BCFW recursion relation can be considered as a form factor involving boundary operator and unshifted particles. At the tree-level, we show that by suitable construction of Lagrangian, one can relate the leading order term of boundary operators to some composite operators of N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory, then the computation of form factors is translated to the computation of amplitudes. We compute the form factors of these composite operators through the computation of corresponding double trace amplitudes.

description: Topological insulators (TIs) host novel states of quantum matter, distinguished from trivial insulators by the presence of nontrivial conducting boundary states connecting the valence and conduction bulk bands. Up to date, all the TIs discovered experimentally rely on the presence of either time reversal or symmorphic mirror symmetry to protect massless Dirac-like boundary states. Very recently, it has been theoretically proposed that several materials are a new type of TIs protected by nonsymmorphic symmetry, where glide-mirror can protect novel exotic surface fermions with hourglass-shaped dispersion. However, an experimental confirmation of such new nonsymmorphic TI (NSTI) is still missing. Using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, we reveal that such hourglass topology exists on the (010) surface of crystalline KHgSb while the (001) surface has no boundary state, which is fully consistent with first-principles calculations. We thus experimentally demonstrate that KHgSb is a NSTI hosting hourglass fermions. By expanding the classification of topological insulators, this discovery opens a new direction in the research of nonsymmorphic topological properties of materials.

description: We present a simple method and its experimental implementation to completely determine the characteristics of the pump-and-probe pulse and the Stokes pulse in a coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering microscope at sample level without additional autocorrelators. Our approach exploits the delay line, ubiquitous in such microscopes, to perform a convolution of the pump-and-probe and Stokes pulses as a function of their relative delay and it is based on the detection of the photons emitted from an appropriate non-linear sample. The analysis of the non-resonant four-wave-mixing and sum-frequency-generation signals allows retrieving the pulse duration on the sample and the chirp of each pulse. This knowledge is crucial in maximizing the spectral-resolution and contrast in CARS imaging.
Pledging Allegiance: The Use of American Flag Imagery by Faith Ringgold and Emma Amos

description:
This study will examine two African American female artists, Faith Ringgold and Emma Amos, and how they used variations of the American flag in their body of works for social commentary. By examining their use of this motif, their goals of conveying messages about civil liberties, race relations, and gender identity will be highlighted. By the conclusion of this study, I will provide a clearer understanding of how both artists used the image of the American flag to challenge its messages of patriotism. I will also examine the connection between their shared use of the flag to demonstrate how the iconic symbol can be used to communicate a lack of civil liberties, as well as racial and gender inequality in the United States of America.

description: Metal-to-insulator transitions (MITs) are a dramatic manifestation of strong electron correlations in solids1. The insulating phase can often be suppressed by quantum tuning, i.e. varying a nonthermal parameter such as chemical composi- tion or pressure, resulting in a zero-temperature quantum phase transition (QPT) to a metallic state driven by quantum fluctuations, in contrast to conventional phase transitions driven by thermal fluctuations. Theories of exotic phenomena known to occur near the Mott QPT such as quantum criticality and high-temperature superconductivity often assume a second-order QPT, but direct experimental evidence for either first- or second-order behavior at the magnetic QPT associated with the Mott transition has been scarce and further masked by the superconducting phase in unconventional superconductors. Most measurements of QPTs have been performed by volume-integrated probes, such as neutron scattering, magnetization, and transport, in which discontinuous behavior, phase separation, and spatially inhomogeneous responses are averaged and smeared out, leading at times to misidentification as continuous second-order transitions. Here, we demonstrate through muon spin relaxation/rotation (MuSR) experiments on two archetypal Mott insulating systems, composition-tuned RENiO3 (RE=rare earth element) and pressured-tuned V2O3, that the QPT from antiferromagnetic insulator to paramagnetic metal is first-order: the magnetically ordered volume fraction decreases to zero at the QPT, resulting in a broad region of intrinsic phase separation, while the ordered magnetic moment retains its full value across the phase diagram until it is suddenly destroyed at the QPT. These findings call for further investigation into the role of inelastic soft modes and the nature of dynamic spin and charge fluctuations underlying the transition.

description: Traditional architectures for solving computer vision problems and the degree of success they enjoyed have been heavily reliant on hand-crafted features. However, of late, deep learning techniques have offered a compelling alternative -- that of automatically learning problem-specific features. With this new paradigm, every problem in computer vision is now being re-examined from a deep learning perspective. Therefore, it has become important to understand what kind of deep networks are suitable for a given problem. Although general surveys of this fast-moving paradigm (i.e. deep-networks) exist, a survey specific to computer vision is missing. We specifically consider one form of deep networks widely used in computer vision - convolutional neural networks (CNNs). We start with "AlexNet" as our base CNN and then examine the broad variations proposed over time to suit different applications. We hope that our recipe-style survey will serve as a guide, particularly for novice practitioners intending to use deep-learning techniques for computer vision.

description:
    Into That Resonant Dark reinterprets the monomyth of the heros journey as a personal quest of psychical transformation through probing the subterranean world within. This exhibition focuses on the underworld descent that occurs during the initial phase of shamanic initiation that includes passing thresholds, trials, encounters, and symbolic death. These works explore a quest into the cave of the unconscious mind through a combination of archetypal symbolism and uncanny aesthetics. The exhibition of large-scale realist charcoal drawings, ambisonic sound, and video build an ominous mise-en-scene installation within the gallery. My work draws from narrative themes found in ancient mythologies in which journeys of a transformative nature confront the unknown within the depths of the psyche, initiating and integrating the polarities within us, between the oppositions of the Dionysian and the Apollonian, instinct and intellect, emotion, and reason.

description:
Weaving, a symbol of knowledge and technology, is so prevalent throughout time that it simultaneously predates recorded history and propels us into our future  a future that is in danger due to environmental threats. The work in Interference : Interwoven reflects upon human attempts to control nature and contrasts these efforts against natures inherent unruliness and chaos. Through geometric and tumultuous woven structures, I examine the idea that humanitys constant drive toward greater knowledge and better technology relies upon the flawed belief that we have the right to meddle in natures processes. The work in Interference : Interwoven examines the implications of our intrusive actions by exposing the tensions between humans and nature, order and chaos.

description: We revisit the minimum-link path problem: Given a polyhedral domain and two points in it, connect the points by a polygonal path with minimum number of edges. We consider settings where the vertices and/or the edges of the path are restricted to lie on the boundary of the domain, or can be in its interior. Our results include bit complexity bounds, a novel general hardness construction, and a polynomial-time approximation scheme. We fully characterize the situation in 2D, and provide first results in dimensions 3 and higher for several variants of the problem. Concretely, our results resolve several open problems. We prove that computing the minimum-link diffuse reflection path, motivated by ray tracing in computer graphics, is NP-hard, even for two-dimensional polygonal domains with holes. This has remained an open problem [1] despite a large body of work on the topic. We also resolve the open problem from [2] mentioned in the handbook [3] (see Chapter 27.5, Open problem 3) and The Open Problems Project [4] (see Problem 22): "What is the complexity of the minimum-link path problem in 3-space?" Our results imply that the problem is NP-hard even on terrains (and hence, due to discreteness of the answer, there is no FPTAS unless P=NP), but admits a PTAS.

The PyMOL file comprises representative frames visualizing the binding of membrane embedded NodC from Rhizobium sp. GRH2 (NodC_GRH2) and NodC from Sinorhizobium (Ensifer) meliloti (NodC_Sm) to their natural products. Shown are the fully acetylated chitin tetramer (A4) and pentamer (A5) in NodC_Sm as well as pentamer (A5) and hexamer (A6) in NodC_GRH2. The designations indicate which NodC (GRH2 or Sm), which substrate (A4-A6) and which simulation (I-II) as well as which frame is depicted.

Mithilfe iterativer Erhebungen von umfeld- und körpernahen Daten mittels Sensoriktechnologien werden in den beiden Modellstädten Ludwigsburg und Osnabrück Stresspunkte im kommunalen Radverkehrsnetz identifiziert und analysiert. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse sollen dabei helfen, Methoden und Handlungsempfehlungen für eine moderne, datengestützte Radverkehrsplanung zu entwickeln und die Fahrradinfrastruktur zukünftig angenehmer und sicherer gestalten zu können. Perspektivisch sollen innerhalb der dreijährigen Projektlaufzeit gemeinsam mit Industriepartnerinnen und Industriepartnern neben einem praxistauglichen Tool zum Bewerten von Fahrradinfrastrukturen mit Emotion-Sensing-Daten noch weitere Fahrradkomponenten (u.a. digitaler Rückspiegel) in der Produktentwicklung hervorgebracht werden. In einer ersten Messkampagne wird in Kooperation mit dem Partner Bike Citizens ein partizipativer Ansatz verfolgt. Die Ansprache für die Akquise von Probandinnen und Probanden erfolgt in der bestehenden, aktiven Bike Citizens Fahrrad-Community. Die gleichnamige App zeichnet auf, welche Routen die rund 350 Probandinnen und Probanden in den beiden Modellstädten für ihre alltäglichen Fahrten nutzen, oder welche sie sogar erkennbar meiden. Diese ersten Erkenntnisse bilden die Grundlage für die ab Sommer 2022 durchgeführten, mehrphasigen EmoCycling-Messungen, bei denen die messbare physiologische Stressreaktion der Probandinnen und Probanden lokal verortet und kartiert wird. Die Messungen werden im Projekt ergänzt durch standardisierte Fragebögen, welche im Zuge der Auswertung Aufschluss über persönliche Einflussfaktoren auf das Stressempfinden, wie zum Beispiel Alter, Geschlecht oder psychologische Merkmale geben. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse sollen dazu beitragen, mehr Wissen über die unterschiedlichen Typen an Radfahrenden für die Planung zu generieren.

description:
Olfactory Vision is a social study conducted to understand the influence of a scent within graphic design processes, enhancing the recollection of details. Twenty-four random adults were tested. The experiment was divided into three groups, A, B, and C, presenting two sets of cards; the first had symbols, and the second one had typefaces. A summary of the investigation was provided; however, the rose oil fragrance was not revealed, avoiding conditioning the subjects. The participants had an in-person and follow-up questionnaire one week after, testing their short and long-term memory. The results generally showed no significant difference between genders. In general, the scented symbols had a total recollection of 67%, while the typefaces only had a 28%. This study seeks to provide important data that may influence the field of Graphic Design by integrating other senses beyond traditional visual imagery.

Play and desire are intrinsically linked for the adult queer individual. Our desire to play and our attraction to each other are aspects of our identities that we are trained to repress. In Homo Ludens, I challenge the normative constraints that restrict us from participating in fun by creating a space where we can be free to play and be sexual beings without having to cordon off parts of our identities. I facilitate play in a queer sexual context by creating games that represent different kinds of sexual and relationship dynamics. Through constructing an alternate reality filled with color and plastic, I create a place of release where deviant acts can be seen and enjoyed as just another way to play.

Where is the line between art and craft? You can be anything you want to be, they say, You can have it all! Shapeshifter is a playful manipulation of form and language pertaining to my perspective as a woman who creates textile sculptures that question the gendered hierarchies within art and craft. Humor and intuition allow me to reclaim power through cute, colorful, and decorative artworks that satirize the dominant narratives surrounding womens work and leisure. Shapeshifter plays with the stereotypes of gender, labor, and aesthetics within art history to imagine a world where objects like pyramids and scrunchies are free to assume their own identity and use value. It is a metaphor for the way I adapt in order to assert myself and survive in a male-dominated, capitalist world.

Black students confront racism every time we step into the classroom or set foot on a college campus as whiteness influences Amerikas educational systems. Whether this racism takes the form of a micro-aggression or blatant white supremacist statements, we are often at our most vulnerable in the setting that holds the most promise for our liberation. By combining ideologies from influential Black leaders such as Booker T. Washington, James Baldwin, and bell hooks, this thesis examines the ways that race, and school intersect. These ideas manifest in photographic works that visually emulate the American yearbook. I challenge the cultural narrative of schools as a safe, nurturing space as I ask viewers is lifting the veil enough?

Our surroundings are integral facets in the makeup of identity. Living spaces become curations of personality that simultaneously hold and comfort their creator.

Cultivate explores this relationship between self and space by reimagining domestic objects as expressions and outcomes of human experience. Within the exhibition the viewer is confronted with objects often seen as intimate and personal. To be invited into someones environment gives us the chance to understand and relate to the nuances of their lives.

More than ever, our lives take place onlinea hyper-privatized network posing as a commons. In exchange for convenience, information, and sociality, our attention is pulled in countless directions by companies harvesting behavioral data and compelling engagement through addictive technology. At best we become disaffected by overstimulation and repetitive, preference-based content. At worst, we become hostile. My current work leverages the aesthetic potential of attention. As a counterpoint to the anesthetizing quality of virtual life, my paintings rely on the sensate. In my exhibition Relatives, I experimented with two types of attention. One decisively developed subject matter through long stretches of concentration. Another allowed pictorial space to develop relationally, in response to my materials and environment. In ceding some control while maintaining an active interest, I developed a sense of empathy towards the materials and resulting object. Empathy, then, is one of the aesthetic possibilities of an unhurried, sense-based observation.

description: Food value chains (VC) are an integral part of food systems, and (VC) programs remain central in the work of development agencies. Despite their popularity among donors and their attempts to tackle food and nutrition security, poverty alleviation and environmental sustainability, food value chain interventions are at crossroads. The ongoing food system crisis has ultimately put a square emphasis on food as a nexus issue. The objective of this paper is to review the history and conceptual basics behind food VC development and to suggest changes in the way interventions are designed and implemented in order to face the current critical juncture of food systems. The paper reviews theoretical as well as empirical underpinnings of contemporary food value chain interventions. Three transformative concepts, i.e., system thinking, transformative capacity and strong sustainability, embedded within agroecological principals, are suggested to replace the traditional paradigm of the sustainable food VC development. A new, principle-based perspective on food value chain development, “the transformative value chain perspective,” is proposed to ensure that future VC promotion contribute to the necessary sustainability transformation of our food systems.

description:
Three Tries is an interdisciplinary exhibition featuring installation, sculpture, and performance that explores the experiences of a Queer nonbinary individual growing up in the Baptist Christian South. The exhibition centers around the reclamation of the body, identity, and space, drawing parallels between the baptist christian holy trinity of father, son, and the holy ghost and Sigmund Freud's Trinity of id, ego, and superego. By returning to the developmental stages of one's life, the exhibition serves as a revolutionary attempt to isolate the id and disentangle the workings of the id, ego, and superego. Three Tries represents a visual framework for discovering the deepest parts of oneself and transforming into something greater than one's past.

description: Two families of complementary codes over finite fields $\mathbb{F}_q$ are studied, where $q=r^2$ is square: i) Hermitian complementary dual linear codes, and ii) trace Hermitian complementary dual subfield linear codes. Necessary and sufficient conditions for a linear code (resp., a subfield linear code) to be Hermitian complementary dual (resp., trace Hermitian complementary dual) are determined. Constructions of such codes are given together their parameters. Some illustrative examples are provided as well.

description: The blue compact dwarf galaxy NGC 5253 hosts a very young starburst containing twin nuclear star clusters, separated by a projected distance of 5 pc. One cluster (#5) coincides with the peak of the H-alpha emission and the other (#11) with a massive ultracompact H II region. A recent analysis of these clusters shows that they have a photometric age of 1+/-1 Myr, in apparent contradiction with the age of 3-5 Myr inferred from the presence of Wolf-Rayet features in the cluster #5 spectrum. We examine Hubble Space Telescope ultraviolet and Very Large Telescope optical spectroscopy of #5 and show that the stellar features arise from very massive stars (VMS), with masses greater than 100 Msun, at an age of 1-2 Myr. We further show that the very high ionizing flux from the nuclear clusters can only be explained if VMS are present. We investigate the origin of the observed nitrogen enrichment in the circum-cluster ionized gas and find that the excess N can be produced by massive rotating stars within the first 1 Myr. We find similarities between the NGC 5253 cluster spectrum and those of metal poor, high redshift galaxies. We discuss the presence of VMS in young, star-forming galaxies at high redshift; these should be detected in rest frame UV spectra to be obtained with the James Webb Space Telescope. We emphasize that population synthesis models with upper mass cut-offs greater than 100 Msun are crucial for future studies of young massive star clusters at all redshifts.

description: In various astrophysics settings it is common to have a two-fluid relativistic plasma that interacts with the electromagnetic field. While it is common to ignore the displacement current in the ideal, classical magnetohydrodynamic limit, when the flows become relativistic this approximation is less than absolutely well-justified. In such a situation, it is more natural to consider a positively charged fluid made up of positrons or protons interacting with a negatively charged fluid made up of electrons. The two fluids interact collectively with the full set of Maxwell's equations. As a result, a solution strategy for that coupled system of equations is sought and found here. Our strategy extends to higher orders, providing increasing accuracy. Three important innovations are reported here. In our first innovation, the magnetic field within each zone is reconstructed in a divergence-free fashion while the electric field within each zone is reconstructed in a form that is consistent with Gauss' law. In our second innovation, a multidimensionally upwinded strategy is presented which ensures that the magnetic field can be updated via a discrete interpretation of Faraday's law and the electric field can be updated via a discrete interpretation of the generalized Ampere's law. Our third innovation consists of an efficient design for several popular IMEX schemes so that they provide strong coupling between the finite-volume-based fluid solver and the electromagnetic fields at high order. Several accuracy analyses are presented showing that our method meets its design accuracy in the MHD limit as well as in the limit of electromagnetic wave propagation. Several stringent test problems are also presented. We also present a relativistic version of the GEM problem, which shows that our algorithm can successfully adapt to challenging problems in high energy astrophysics.

description: It is now well-established that photonic systems can exhibit topological energy bands; similar to their electronic counterparts, this leads to the formation of chiral edge modes which can be used to transmit light in a manner that is protected against back-scattering. While it is understood how classical signals can propagate under these conditions, it is an outstanding important question how the quantum vacuum fluctuations of the electromagnetic field get modified in the presence of a topological band structure. We address this challenge by exploring a setting where a non-zero topological invariant guarantees the presence of a parametrically-unstable chiral edge mode in a system with boundaries, even though there are no bulk-mode instabilities. We show that one can exploit this to realize a topologically protected, quantum-limited travelling-wave parametric amplifier. The device is naturally protected both against internal losses and back-scattering; the latter feature is in stark contrast to standard travelling wave amplifiers. This adds a new example to the list of potential quantum devices that profit from topological transport.

description: Topological metals and semimetals (TMs) have recently drawn significant interest. These materials give rise to condensed matter realizations of many important concepts in high-energy physics, leading to wide-ranging protected properties in transport and spectroscopic experiments. The most studied TMs, i.e., Weyl and Dirac semimetals, feature quasiparticles that are direct analogues of the textbook elementary particles. Moreover, the TMs known so far can be characterized based on the dimensionality of the band crossing. While Weyl and Dirac semimetals feature zero-dimensional points, the band crossing of nodal-line semimetals forms a one-dimensional closed loop. In this paper, we identify a TM which breaks the above paradigms. Firstly, the TM features triply-degenerate band crossing in a symmorphic lattice, hence realizing emergent fermionic quasiparticles not present in quantum field theory. Secondly, the band crossing is neither 0D nor 1D. Instead, it consists of two isolated triply-degenerate nodes interconnected by multi-segments of lines with two-fold degeneracy. We present materials candidates. We further show that triplydegenerate band crossings in symmorphic crystals give rise to a Landau level spectrum distinct from the known TMs, suggesting novel magneto-transport responses. Our results open the door for realizing new topological phenomena and fermions including transport anomalies and spectroscopic responses in metallic crystals with nontrivial topology beyond the Weyl/Dirac paradigm.

Dossier clinique informatisé

description: Introduction : Le circuit du médicament est complexe et comporte plus de cinquante étapes. Afin d’accroître l’efficience et la sécurité des processus de soins, les établissements de santé nord-américains recourent progressivement à l’informatisation du dossier clinique en établissement de santé. Ces dossiers cliniques informatisés peuvent notamment comporter un outil d’enregistrement électronique des doses de médicaments aussi appelé feuille d’administration des médicaments électronique (FADME). Objectifs : L’objectif de cet article est de faire un état des lieux sur les connaissances entourant l’utilisation et les retombées de FADME en établissement de santé. Méthode : Il s’agit d’une revue de la littérature. La revue a été menée à partir de la banque de données PubMed. La stratégie de recherche utilisée inclut les termes suivants : [medication administration record, MAR, drug administration, electronic medical record, drugs, pharmacy] pour la période contenue entre le 1er janvier 2000 et le 1er décembre 2014. Les titres et le contenu des 40 abrégés les plus récents ont été consultés afin d’identifier les articles portant spécifiquement sur l’utilisation d’une FADME et comportant préférablement une évaluation des retombées. De plus, des articles supplémentaires en possession de l’équipe de recherche ont été consultés. Résultats : Au total, 1617 articles ont été identifiés. Les titres et contenus des 300 abrégés les plus récents ont été consultés et un total de neuf articles pertinents a été inclus. Conclusion : Cette revue de la littérature met en évidence neuf articles pertinents ayant évalué l’utilisation et les retombées de la FADME en établissement de santé. Le Canada accuse un retard très marqué vis-à-vis des États-Unis en ce qui concerne l’implantation de la FADME. L’utilisation de la FADME est associée à une réduction des erreurs médicamenteuses et une bonne satisfaction du personnel soignant. Toutefois, elle est comporte également quelques inconvénients.
