Interpolation and smoothing
Creators: name: Lombardi, Marco
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Smoothing is omnipresent in astronomy, because almost always measurements performed at discrete positions in the sky need to be interpolated into a smooth map for subsequent analysis. Still, the statistical properties of different interpolation techniques are very poorly known. In this paper, we consider the general problem of interpolating discrete data whose location measurements are distributed on the sky according to a known density distribution (with or without clustering). We derive expressions for the expectation value and for the covariance of the smoothed map for many interpolation techniques, and obtain a general method that can be used to obtain these quantities for any linear smoothing. Moreover, we show that few basic properties of smoothing procedures have important consequences on the statistical properties of the smoothed map. Our analysis allows one to obtain the statistical properties of an arbitrary interpolation procedure, and thus to optimally choose the technique that is most suitable for one's needs.

Multisymplectic geometry, covariant Hamiltonians, and water waves

description: This paper concerns the development and application of the multisymplectic Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formalism for nonlinear partial differential equations. In this theory, solutions of a PDE are sections of a fiber bundle $Y$ over a base manifold $X$ of dimension $n$$+$1, typically taken to be spacetime. Given a connection on $Y$, a covariant Hamiltonian density ${\mathcal H}$ is then intrinsically defined on the primary constraint manifold $P_{\mathcal L}$, the image of the multisymplectic version of the Legendre transformation. One views $P_{\mathcal L}$ as a subbundle of $J^1(Y)^\star$, the affine dual of $J^1(Y)$, the first jet bundle of $Y$. A canonical multisymplectic ($n$$+$2)-form $Ω_{\mathcal H}$ is then defined, from which we obtain a multisymplectic Hamiltonian system of differential equations that is equivalent to both the original PDE as well as the Euler-Lagrange equations of the corresponding Lagrangian. We show that the $n$$+$1 2-forms $ω^{(μ)}$ defined by Bridges [1997] are a particular coordinate representation for a single multisymplectic ($n$$+$2)-form, and in the presence of symmetries, can be assembled into $Ω_{\mathcal H}$. A generalized Hamiltonian Noether theory is then constructed which recovers the vanishing of the divergence of the vector of $n$$+$1 distinct momentum mappings defined in Bridges [1997] and, when applied to water waves, recovers Whitham's conservation of wave action. We also show the utility of this theory in the study of periodic pattern formation and wave instability.

The method is illustrated with examples of semisimple and non-semisimple finite dimensional Lie algebras as well as loop and Kac-Moody algebras. A deformed addition on the parameter space is also introduced simplifying some expressions and some applications to conformal field theory is pointed out, e.g. are differential operator and free field realisations found.

description: Recent emergence of two-dimensional (2D) crystalline superconductors has provided a promising platform to investigate novel quantum physics and potential applications. To reveal essential quantum phenomena therein, ultralow temperature transport investigation on high quality ultrathin superconducting films is critically required, although it has been quite challenging experimentally. Here we report a systematic transport study on the ultrathin crystalline PdTe2 films grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Interestingly, a new type of Ising superconductivity in 2D centrosymmetric materials is revealed by the detection of large in-plane critical field more than 7 times Pauli limit. Remarkably, in perpendicular magnetic field, we provide solid evidence of anomalous metallic state characterized by the resistance saturation at low temperatures with high quality filters. The robust superconductivity with intriguing quantum phenomena in the macro-size ambient-stable ultrathin PdTe2 films remains almost the same for 20 months, showing great potentials in electronic and spintronic applications.

description: Complex cognitive tasks such as mental arithmetic heavily rely on intact, well-coordinated prefrontal cortex (PFC) function. Converging evidence suggests that frontal midline theta (FMT) oscillations play an important role during the execution of such PFC-dependent tasks. Additionally, it is well- established that acute stress impairs PFC function, and recent evidence suggests that FMT is decreased under stress. In this EEG study, we investigated FMT oscillations during a mental arithmetic task that was carried out in a stressful and a neutral control condition. Our results show late- onset, sustained FMT increases during mental arithmetic. In the neutral condition FMT started to increase earlier than in the stress condition. Direct comparison of the conditions quantified this difference by showing stronger FMT increases in the neutral condition in an early time window. Between- subject correlation analysis showed that attenuated FMT under stress was related to slowed reaction times. Our results suggest that FMT is associated with stimulus independent mental processes during the natural and complex PFC- dependent task of mental arithmetic, and is a possible marker for intact PFC function that is disrupted under stress.

description: We generalise Einstein's formulation of the traceless Einstein equations to $f(R)$ gravity theories. In the case of the vacuum traceless Einstein equations, we show that a non-constant Weyl tensor leads via a conformal transformation to a dimensionally homogeneous (`no-scale') theory in the conformal frame with a scalar field source that has an exponential potential. We then formulate the traceless version of $f(R)$ gravity, and we find that a conformal transformation leads to a no-scale theory conformally equivalent to general relativity and a scalar field $ϕ$ with a potential given by the scale-invariant form: $V(ϕ)=\frac{D-2}{4D}Re^{-ϕ}$, where $ϕ=[2/(D-2)]\ln f^{\prime }(R)$. In this theory, the cosmological constant is a mere integration constant, statistically distributed in a multiverse of independent causal domains, the vacuum energy is another unrelated arbitrary constant, and the same is true of the height of the inflationary plateau present in a huge variety of potentials. Unlike in the conformal equivalent of full general relativity, flat potentials are found to be possible in all spacetime dimensions for polynomial lagrangians of all orders. Hence, we are led to a novel interpretation of the cosmological constant vacuum energy problem and have accelerated inflationary expansion in the very early universe with a very small cosmological constant at late times for a wide range of no-scale theories. Fine-tunings required in traceless general relativity or standard non-traceless $f(R)$ theories of gravity are avoided. We show that the predictions of the scale-invariant conformal potential are completely consistent with microwave background observational data concerning the primordial tilt and the tensor-to-scalar ratio.

description: Contemplative Education is a field of practice and scholarship that emphasizes engagement in contemplative practices. It is not clear, however, what conception of contemplation ought to animate members of this field. Furthermore, although advocates of Contemplative Education express certain commitments to pluralism about contemplative practice, it is not clear to what extent those commitments get upheld. Through a close examination of three practices across three chapters—on theoria, mindfulness, and testimonio—this study draws out certain features of contemplative thinking while also offering members of Contemplative Education new conceptual resources and intellectual traditions to draw from in their own work. The final chapter makes a case for thinking of these three practices, and all contemplative practices within Contemplative Education, as fundamentally interested in the cultivation of ‘egalitarian reverence’: an evaluative attitude that extends basic human dignity to oneself and others, paired with a faithful sense of devotion to, and awe in light of, the ideal of democratic equality.

description: In a series of papers starting in the early 1980s, Toft proposed a general scenario to explain dietary evolution in leaf litter anurans in which species would “form a continuum from those that specialize on ants and mites, through generalists, to species that avoid ants and mites”, and these differences would in turn correlate with foraging strategies, morphology, and defense mechanisms. In this study, we reassess this hypothesis using a global dataset on the dietary composition of 120 anuran species. Surprisingly, we found that the relative contribution of ants and mites in anuran diets were largely orthogonal to one another. Moreover, we did not find evidence for the continuum of dietary composition envisioned by Toft. These results suggest that, although ants and mites have played a major role in the evolution of aposematic species, the trends found in those species might not be directly extrapolated to all leaf litter anurans.

description: Egypt is one of the oldest civilizations in the world, yet the lifespan of its theatre is rather short. It was not until the late 19th century that Egyptians were introduced to the disciplined form of theatre. Although the history of theatre in Egypt is short-lived, it had witnessed vigorous changes that lead to its rise and fall only within a few decades. Namely, those vigorous changes were the byproduct of the social and political movements that the Egyptian society underwent in less than a century. The Egyptian Theatre not only got affected by those political changes but also induced an integral influence on the Egyptian socio-political landscape, especially from the 50s until the mid- 70s. It was during those years that the Egyptian Theatre witnessed a golden age transitioning to a rapid phase of deterioration. Therefore, it was critically important to conduct an in-depth study towards finding means for reviving a theatre movement in Egypt. This is not only for the sake of reviving theatre as an art form but most importantly for theatre’s potential in contributing to the development of a more stable, literate and civil society, especially after two revolutions (January 25, 2011, and June 30, 2013.)

description: In trick-taking card games, a two-step process of state sampling and evaluation is widely used to approximate move values. While the evaluation component is vital, the accuracy of move value estimates is also fundamentally linked to how well the sampling distribution corresponds the true distribution. Despite this, recent work in trick-taking card game AI has mainly focused on improving evaluation algorithms with limited work on improving sampling. In this paper, we focus on the effect of sampling on the strength of a player and propose a novel method of sampling more realistic states given move history. In particular, we use predictions about locations of individual cards made by a deep neural network --- trained on data from human gameplay - in order to sample likely worlds for evaluation. This technique, used in conjunction with Perfect Information Monte Carlo (PIMC) search, provides a substantial increase in cardplay strength in the popular trick-taking card game of Skat.

description: In the present work Grand Canonical Monte Carlo simulations are implemented in order to evaluate the hydrogen storage capacity of hydrates under a wide range of conditions. Hydrates of sII and sH type with or without promoter have been examined. Concerning hydrates of pure H2, our results show that sII hydrates can store up to 3.3 wt. % H2 and sH up to 3.6 wt. % in the pressure range examined (up to 500 MPa). The small cavities of the sII hydrate as well as the small and medium cavities of the sH hydrate are occupied by one H2 molecule at most. The occupancy of the large cavities of both types of hydrates highly depends on pressure. At 400 MPa, the average occupancy of the large cavity of the sII hydrate is 2.8 while the respective value for the sH hydrate is 5.5. Binary hydrates of H2 and promoter present a reduced H2 uptake (less than 1.1 wt. % for sII and less than 1.4 wt. % for sH hydrates). There rather limited values are attributed to the single occupancy of the cavities that are not occupied by the promoter molecules. Furthermore, the results of our simulations do not support the suggestion that the H2 uptake of the binary (sII) H2-THF hydrate can be “tuned” by adjusting the THF concentration in the equilibrium solution. Finally, binary sH hydrates with the promoter occupying the medium instead of the large cavities could be an alternative approach to increase hydrogen uptake.

description: Models on the evolution of bi-parental care typically assume maternal investment in offspring production is fixed and predict that subsequent contributions to offspring care by the pair are stabilized by partial compensation. While experimental tests of this prediction are supportive, exceptions are commonplace. Using wild blue tits (Cyanistes caeruleus), we provide the first investigation into the effects of increasing maternal investment in offspring production for subsequent contributions to nestling provisioning by mothers and male partners. Females that were induced to lay two extra eggs provisioned nestlings 43% more frequently than controls, despite clutch size being made comparable between treatment groups at the onset of incubation. Further, experimental males did not significantly reduce provisioning rates as expected by partial compensation, and if anything contributed slightly (9%) more than controls. Finally, nestlings were significantly heavier in experimental nests compared with controls, suggesting that the 22% average increase in provisioning rates by experimental pairs was beneficial. Our results have potential implications for our understanding of provisioning rules, the maintenance of bi-parental care and the time-scale over which current–future life-history trade-offs operate. We recommend greater consideration of female investment at the egg stage to more fully understand the evolutionary dynamics of bi-parental care.

description: In this paper we present the applications of methods from wavelet analysis to polynomial approximations for a number of accelerator physics problems. In the general case we have the solution as a multiresolution expansion in the base of compactly supported wavelet basis. The solution is parametrized by the solutions of two reduced algebraical problems, one is nonlinear and the second is some linear problem, which is obtained from one of the next wavelet constructions: Fast Wavelet Transform, Stationary Subdivision Schemes, the method of Connection Coefficients. According to the orbit method and by using construction from the geometric quantization theory we construct the symplectic and Poisson structures associated with generalized wavelets by using metaplectic structure. We consider wavelet approach to the calculations of Melnikov functions in the theory of homoclinic chaos in perturbed Hamiltonian systems and for parametrization of Arnold-Weinstein curves in Floer variational approach.

Egocentric Categorization: Self as a Reference Category in Product Judgment and Consumer Choice
Creators: Weiss, Liad
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: subject: Marketing
subject: FOS: Economics and business

description: Be it a shiny sports car or a luxury watch, consumers are predisposed to approach appealing objects. However, rules of modern society restrict consumers from touching or taking objects based on a mere desire to do so. Instead, consumers must have a legal connection to an object---ownership---in order to have mastery over it. What are the cognitive implications of the transparent boundaries that society draws between consumers and objects that they do not own? Can these boundaries affect the way consumers mentally represent owned and unowned objects? How do such potential differences between mental representation of owned and unowned objects affect object evaluation and consumer choice? Addressing these questions, my dissertation suggests that the social and legal criteria that divide objects into `mine' and `not-mine' may lead consumers to classify objects as `me' or `not-me,' as internal or external to the category "self," namely to "egocentrically categorize" objects. Egocentric Categorization is suggested to be a cognitive "tool" that segments, classifies, and orders inanimate objects in consumers' environment, and thus guides consumers' appraisals of objects as well as consumers' judgment of the "self." Although ample research asserts that a consumer's possessions are associated with his or her "self," the possibility that people use the "self" as a reference category for products has not been examined. Addressing this gap in the literature, my dissertation introduces Egocentric Categorization as a new theoretical account and begins investigating implications of Egocentric Categorization for consumer judgment, behavior and choice.

description: Due to rapid industrialisation, the growing global population, and the impacts of climate change, the availability and quality of water resources around the world has become degraded. Some regions are suffering water shortages despite sufficient water reserves, because surface and ground waters are contaminated to such a degree that they have become inadequate for potable use. Agricultural practices, industrial discharges and human wastewater are responsible for most contamination of water. Nitrogen (ammonium, nitrate and nitrite) and phosphorus (phosphate) are the most common nutrients in freshwaters and estuaries that impact water quality. Excess nutrient loadings to water bodies can affect many aquatic organisms and, ultimately, contribute to the degradation of freshwater, estuarine and coastal marine ecosystems. Furthermore, high concentrations of nutrients in drinking water sources can cause health impacts to human beings. Due to the potential sporadic nature of the contamination sources, grab sampling may fail to identify contamination events. Nutrient loadings to waterways from point and non-point sources are of major ecological concern and represent one of the most significant water quality issues in surface water bodies, and hence require use of accurate and representative approaches to monitor nutrient concentrations. DGT as diffusive gradients in thin films, a well-established passive sampling technique, allows determination of time-weighted average measurements over environmentally relevant time-scales.

description: Graphs arise naturally in many real-world applications including social networks, recommender systems, ontologies, biology, and computational finance. Traditionally, machine learning models for graphs have been mostly designed for static graphs. However, many applications involve evolving graphs. This introduces important challenges for learning and inference since nodes, attributes, and edges change over time. In this survey, we review the recent advances in representation learning for dynamic graphs, including dynamic knowledge graphs. We describe existing models from an encoder-decoder perspective, categorize these encoders and decoders based on the techniques they employ, and analyze the approaches in each category. We also review several prominent applications and widely used datasets and highlight directions for future research.

description: This paper is dealing with flora and Vegetation of railway stations in Central Europe. On the basis of floristical mapping of 63 railway stations statements are given to frequency of vascular plants and their bonds to railway stations. In the main therophytes and plants having an extensive system of underground runners are selected by weed control. The vegetation is described by about 300 plant sociological releves; high value is set on registration of frequent fragment communities. The number of species and communities does not depent on size and travel in the first place, but on dimension of unused areas. The significance of shut down railway stations for conservation of ruderal plant communities is pointed out. The examinations refer in the main to railway stations in eastern Lower Saxony (Federal Republic of Germany).

description: The present study examines the merchant networks which exported slaves from the Black Sea to Genoa, Venice, and Cairo from the late thirteenth to the late fifteenth century on the basis of both Arabic and Latin sources. It begins with an explanation of features distinctive to slavery in the medieval Mediterranean, the most important of which was its ideological basis in religious rather than racial difference, as well as a comparison between the Christian and Islamic laws governing slavery. In subsequent chapters it covers the variety of roles played by slaves in Mediterranean society, how the use of individual slaves was shaped by their gender and origin, and the processes which led to the enslavement of people within the Black Sea region. The heart of the project is the fourth chapter, an analysis of the commercial networks which conveyed slaves from the ports of the Black Sea to those of the Mediterranean. This chapter profiles individual merchants who dealt in slaves, traces the routes and identifies the logistical challenges of the slave trade, and analyzes the relative importance of various groups of merchants in supplying the Mediterranean demand for slaves. The next chapter explains the process of finding, inspecting, and buying a slave in the marketplace and how it differed from the purchase of other commodities. The final chapter addresses the place of the Black Sea slave trade in the political and religious context of the late medieval crusade movement. Proponents of the crusades argued that Christian merchants, especially the Genoese, were strengthening the sultan of Egypt to the detriment of the crusaders by supplying him with slaves for military service. The validity of these accusations is examined in light of the sources informing the rest of the study.

description: There is now strong evidence suggesting that the 12CO J = 1-0 transition, widely used to trace H2 gas, significantly underestimates its mass in metal-poor regions. In spiral disks such regions are found in large galactocentric distances where we show that any unaccounted H2 gas phase is likely to be diffuse (~5-20 cm^-3) and warmer (T(kin) ~ 50-100 K) than the cool (T(kin) ~ 15-20 K) CO-luminous one. Moreover we find that a high value of the H2 formation rate on grains, suggested by recent observational work, can compensate for the reduction of the available grain surface in the metal-poor part of typical galactic disks and thus enhance this CO-poor H2 component which may be contributing significantly to the mass and pressure of spiral disks beyond their optical radius.

Subjects: subject: Combinatorial circuits
subject: Boolean algebra
subject: Digital logic circuits
subject: Sequential logic circuits

description: This thesis presents an interactive computerised teaching suite developed for the design of combinatorial and sequential logic circuits. This suite fills a perceived gap in the currently available computer-based teaching software for digital logic design. Several existing digital logic educational software are available, however these existing programs were found to be unsuitable for our use in providing alternative mode subject delivery. This prompted the development of a Microsoft Windows TM tutorial suite, called WinLogiLab. WinLogiLab comprises of a set of tutorials that uses student provided input data, to perform the initial design steps for digital Combinatorial and Sequential logic circuits. The combinatorial tutorials are designed to show the link between Boolean Algebra and Digital Logic circuits, and follows the initial design steps: from Boolean algebra, truth tables, to Exact and the Heuristic minimisation techniques, to finally produce the combinatorial circuit. Similarly, the sequential tutorials can design simple State Machine Counters, and can model more complex Finite State Automata.

description: We report on the results of the 10th Non-LTE code comparison workshop, which was held at the University of San Diego campus November 28 through December 1, 2017. Non-equilibrium collisional-radiative models predict the electronic state populations and attendant emission and absorption characteristics of hot, dense matter and are used to help design and diagnose high-energy-density experiments. At this workshop, fifteen codes from eleven institutions contributed results for steady-state and time-dependent neon, aluminum, silicon, and chlorine cases relevant to a variety of high-density experimental and radiation-driven astrophysical systems. This report focuses on differences in the predictions from codes with different internal structure, completeness, density effects, and rate fidelity and the impact of those differences on hot, dense plasma diagnostics.

description: This research was undertaken to develop ways to support the decision-making of anaesthesia teams during challenging, time-pressured situations. The research focused on decisions relating to airway management: the critical support of a patient’s breathing functions while the patient is anaesthetised. A human-centred design approach was followed using qualitative research methods of field observations, interviews and focus groups. Initially, key decisions and how they were made in practice were identified. After understanding how and when decisions are made, decision support concepts were identified. The main intervention selected was an organised airway equipment tray for design and development.

description: We analyze the compliance costs of individual taxpayers resulting from the German income tax (tax year 2007). Using survey data that have been raised between December 2008 and April 2009, we find evidence for a considerably higher cost burden of self-employed taxpayers. Taxable income and a higher education (university degree) are positively correlated with compliance costs, while the time effort of female taxpayers is significantly lower. By contrast, joint filing of married couples reduces the burden of tax compliance. The aggregate cost estimate of German income taxpayers amounts to €6 to €9 billion, respectively, 3.1 to 4.7 percent of the income tax revenue in 2007. This estimate is higher than latest projections in a number of other European countries like Spain and Sweden, but lower than estimates for the United States and Australia.

Eigenvarieties and twisted eigenvarieties

description: For an arbitrary reductive group G, we construct the full eigenvariety E, which parameterizes all p-adic overconvergent cohomological eigenforms of G in the sense of Ash-Stevens and Urban. Further, given an algebraic automorphism a of G, we construct the twisted eigenvariety E^a, a rigid subspace of E, which parameterizes all eigenforms that are invariant under a. In particular, in the case G = GLn, we prove that every self-dual automorphic representation can be deformed into a family of self-dual cuspidal forms containing a Zariski dense subset of classical points. This is the inverse of Ash-Pollack-Stevens conjecture. We also give some hint to this conjecture.

description: In Australia, there are significant differences in the perinatal health of non-English speaking background (NESB) women compared with that of English speaking background and Australia born (except for Aborigines). A recent preliminary study of Chinese migrant communities in Brisbane has shown that health and wellbeing of new mothers during the postnatal period is a growing concern. This suggests the necessity of research into the maternity needs of Chinese migrant women and whether or not these needs are being fulfilled by maternity care services in Australia. In order to explore in depth the experiences of both the consumers and the providers, this study adopted a need assessment approach and employed a variety of qualitative techniques: focus group discussion, in-depth interviews with twenty Chinese migrant mothers, obstetricians, midwives, nurses and community key informants, and participant observation in antenatal classes and four birth deliveries. The study found unmet needs in four major areas: community and social support; cross-cultural communication; accessibility of information on health and services; and cultural appropriateness of service provision. Apart from general recommendations of service improvement in relation to the above four areas, the study has provided practical strategies such as bilingual cards for communication in emergency birth delivery situations. The findings of this study should have important implications for improving cultural sensitivity and appropriateness for service provision for other NESB migrant groups in Australia.
