On the Lévy-Leblond-Newton equation and its symmetries: a geometric view

Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)

description: The Lévy-Leblond-Newton (LLN) equation for non-relativistic fermions with a gravitational self-interaction is reformulated within the framework of a Bargmann structure over a $(n+1)$-dimensional Newton-Cartan (NC) spacetime. The Schrödinger-Newton (SN) group, introduced in [21] as the maximal group of invariance of the SN equation, turns out to be also the group of conformal Bargmann automorphisms preserving the coupled Lévy-Leblond and NC gravitational field equations. Within the Bargmann geometry a generalization of the LLN equation is provided as well. The canonical projective unitary representation of the SN group on 4-component spinors is also presented. In particular, when restricted to dilations, the value of the dynamical exponent $z=(n+2)/3$ is recovered as previously derived in [21] for the SN equation. Subsequently, conserved quantities associated to the (generalized) LLN equation are also exhibited.

Subjects: subject: 510

description: Studying invariants and asymptotic properties relative to groups plays a prominent role in several classification problems. This thesis focuses on some cohomological and geometric invariants (e.g., number of ends, cohomological dimension and Euler-Poincaré characteristic) and certain growth series associated to totally disconnected locally compact groups. A specific attention is given to those groups acting properly and cocompactly on trees or buildings.

description: We studied in a microscopic multiphonon approach the proton-neutron symmetry and phonon structure of some low-lying states recently discovered in 92Zr. We confirm the breaking of F-spin symmetry, but argue that the breaking mechanism is more complex than the one suggested in the original shell model analysis of the data. We found other new intriguing features of the spectrum, like a pronounced multiphonon fragmentation of the states and a tentative evidence of a three-phonon mixed symmetry state.

title: On the origins and properties of Verticillium isolates associated with Crucifers
Creators: name: Clewes, Emily Jane
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2005

description: It had been proposed that long-spored isolates of Verticillium from crucifers were amphihaploid interspecific hybrids between V dahliae and V albo-atrum. The original aims of this thesis were to construct artificial hybrids between these two species and analyse the hybrids through molecular, genetic and pathological means. It was shown that limited recombination is possible between nit mutants of each species. Through pathogenicity testing on oilseed rape it was shown that long-spored amphihaploid isolates could be differentiated from haploid V dahliae isolates. However, during this work it was found that of the non-V dahliae-like supposed ‘parent’ was unlike any isolate of V albo-atrum found to this day, and this species was unlikely to be involved in the hybridisation events that produced amphihaploid isolates of Verticillium. The projects main aims were revised to further characterise the long-spored isolates molecularly and through pathogenicity testing so their ‘parental’ origins were better understood. Molecular analysis of the rRNA gene V-region and ITS showed that a disease outbreak in cauliflowers in Belgium was caused by isolates molecularly similar to those from oilseed rape in Europe, and that isolates from Lucerne in Iran were V albo-atrum. This thesis reports the first direct evidence that long-spored amphihaploid isolates of Verticillium from crucifers are interspecific hybrids through amplification of the 5S rRNA IGR and the β-tubulin gene. Sequence analysis of these along with the mitochondrial cytochrome B gene proved that V albo-atrum was not a ‘parent’ of the amphihaploid isolates, but the 5S rRNA IGR supports the further division of Verticillium amphihaploids AFLP group B, to form a third group y, represented by isolates from horseradish in Illinois, USA. Although the ‘unknown parent’ involved in the hybridisation events has yet to be found, through the results from this thesis it would now be possible to identify it molecularly.

description: The dynamical evolution of an inhomogeneous ultracold atomic gas quenched at different controllable rates through the Bose-Einstein condensation phase transition is studied numerically in the premise of a recent experiment in an anisotropic harmonic trap. Our findings based on the stochastic (projected) Gross-Pitaevskii equation are shown to be consistent at early times with the predictions of the homogeneous Kibble-Zurek mechanism. This is demonstrated by collapsing the early dynamical evolution of densities, spectral functions and correlation lengths for different quench rates, based on an appropriate characterization of the distance to criticality felt by the quenched system. The subsequent long-time evolution, beyond the identified dynamical critical region, is also investigated by looking at the behaviour of the density wavefront evolution and the corresponding phase ordering dynamics.

description: We re-investigate Adler's PCAC relation in the presence of an external electromagnetic field within the framework of QCD coupled to external fields. We discuss pion electroproduction within a tree-level approximation to chiral perturbation theory and explicitly verify a chiral Ward identity referred to as the Adler-Gilman relation. We critically examine soft-momentum techniques and point out how inadmissable approximations may lead to results incompatible with chiral symmetry. As a result we confirm that threshold pion electroproduction is indeed a tool to obtain information on the axial form factor of the nucleon.

description: Following the emergence of superconducting granular aluminum (grAl) as a material for high-impedance quantum circuits, future development hinges on a microscopic understanding of its phase diagram, and whether the superconductor-to-insulator transition (SIT) is driven by disorder or charging effects. Beyond fundamental relevance, these mechanisms govern noise and dissipation in microwave circuits. Although the enhancement of the critical temperature, and the SIT in granular superconductors have been studied for more than fifty years, experimental studies have so far provided incomplete information on the microscopic phenomena. Here we present scanning tunneling microscope measurements of the local electronic structure of superconducting grAl. We confirm an increased superconducting gap in individual grains both near and above the Mott resistivity $ρ_\mathrm{M} \approx 400\ μΩcm$. Above $ρ_\mathrm{M}$ we find Coulomb charging effects, a first indication for decoupling, and in-gap states on individual grains, which could contribute to flux noise and dielectric loss in quantum devices. We also observe multiple low-energy states outside the gap, which may indicate bosonic excitations of the superconducting order parameter.

description: Hadrons emerging from high-energy collisions, as it is the case for protons and pions at the CERN Large Hadron Collider, can produce a damage to inorganic crystals that is specific and cumulative. The mechanism is well understood as due to bulk damage from fragments caused by fission. In this paper, the existing experimental evidence for lead tungstate, LYSO and cerium fluoride is summarised, a study using FLUKA simulations is described and its results are discussed and compared to measurements. The outcome corroborates the confidence in the predictive power of such simulations applied to inorganic scintillators, which are relevant to their adoption as scintillators for calorimetry.

description: Simulating quantum computation on a classical computer is a difficult problem. The matrices representing quantum gates, and the vectors modeling qubit states grow exponentially with an increase in the number of qubits. However, by using a novel data structure called the Quantum Information Decision Diagram (QuIDD) that exploits the structure of quantum operators, a useful subset of operator matrices and state vectors can be represented in a form that grows polynomially with the number of qubits. This subset contains, but is not limited to, any equal superposition of n qubits, any computational basis state, n-qubit Pauli matrices, and n-qubit Hadamard matrices. It does not, however, contain the discrete Fourier transform (employed in Shor's algorithm) and some oracles used in Grover's algorithm. We first introduce and motivate decision diagrams and QuIDDs. We then analyze the runtime and memory complexity of QuIDD operations. Finally, we empirically validate QuIDD-based simulation by means of a general-purpose quantum computing simulator QuIDDPro implemented in C++. We simulate various instances of Grover's algorithm with QuIDDPro, and the results demonstrate that QuIDDs asymptotically outperform all other known simulation techniques. Our simulations also show that well-known worst-case instances of classical searching can be circumvented in many specific cases by data compression techniques.

description: Adopting persistent identifiers (PIDs) for research outputs and resources is essential for enhancing their visibility and ensuring alignment with FAIR data principles. PIDs serve as unique, permanent identifiers that facilitate the accurate identification and citation of research outputs over time. This is crucial for Open Research, as it empowers researchers to share their work more broadly while effectively tracking its impact. However, the adoption of PIDs in the Arab world faces several challenges, including a lack of awareness about their benefits, insufficient underlying infrastructure, and financial constraints in some communities. Addressing these challenges is crucial for fostering a more open and accessible research environment in the region.

In his presentation at the 2024 Meeting of the Arab Community of Open Access (ACOA), Mohamad Mostafa emphasized the importance of linking repositories with PIDs to support global discoverability and accessibility.

Lost Wor(l)ds : The role of landscape architecture in Indigenous language revitalization
Creators: name: Gagnon-Creeley, Michelle
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2019

description: This graduate design project argues that language is spatial, and seeks to examine the relationship between language, place and local ecology. Specifically asking the question of how local environments can play a role in shaping language, ultimately influencing the speaker’s perception of space and environment. The rapid decline of Indigenous languages over the last 300 years due to colonization and industrialization has led to the loss of localized knowledge surrounding culture and ecology. As a response to this decline, many Indigenous communities are working to revive and sustain their languages. This research project investigates the possibility of landscape architecture being a vehicle for developing outdoor spaces conducive to language revitalization. The project examines the endangered Haida language as an example of this phenomena and develop a proposal for how landscape architecture might be able to contribute to Haida Gwaii’s language revitalization movement.

description: The paper reports the methodology of the development of a scale to measure socioeconomics status of heads of rural households (Gandu) in the Funtua Zone in Kaduna State of Nigeria. A universe of interest containing about 105 items of socioeconomic signifi­cance was made up by selection from observation in a typical village setting in the study area. After pre-testing the instrument with 105 items, ambiguous items were dropped leaving 90 items. In yalidating the items, item analysis procedure was carried out on the 90 items in order to select the items that best differentiated between high and low possession of socioeconomic status ·among the farmers. Consequently, 38 items were selected from the item validation process. These items being those in which significant difference were found between proportions in the highest and lowest 25 per cent of the farmers possessing the items. Weighting of the item was carried out using the Sigma method of scoring which assigned greater scores to valid items which were possessed by only few farmers and expressing such items scores in _standard units. Results of validity and reliability tests carried out on the constructed standardized scale indicated that the scale was quite vaild and reliable.

description: The stability and bonding of the ternary complex K$_2$PtCl$_6$ structure hydrides is discussed using first principles density functional calculations. The cohesion is dominated by ionic contributions, but ligand field effects are important, and are responsible for the 18-electron rule. Similarities to oxides are discussed in terms of the electronic structure. However, phonon calculations for Sr$_2$RuH$_6$ also show differences, particularly in the polarizability of the RuH$_6$ octahedra. Nevertheless, the yet to be made compounds Pb$_2$RuH$_6$ and Be$_2$FeH$_6$ are possible ferroelectrics. The electronic structure and magnetic properties of the decomposition product, FeBe$_2$ are reported. Implications of the results for H storage are discussed.

description: With the ever-increasing cases of hate spread on social media platforms, it is critical to design abuse detection mechanisms to proactively avoid and control such incidents. While there exist methods for hate speech detection, they stereotype words and hence suffer from inherently biased training. Bias removal has been traditionally studied for structured datasets, but we aim at bias mitigation from unstructured text data. In this paper, we make two important contributions. First, we systematically design methods to quantify the bias for any model and propose algorithms for identifying the set of words which the model stereotypes. Second, we propose novel methods leveraging knowledge-based generalizations for bias-free learning. Knowledge-based generalization provides an effective way to encode knowledge because the abstraction they provide not only generalizes content but also facilitates retraction of information from the hate speech detection classifier, thereby reducing the imbalance. We experiment with multiple knowledge generalization policies and analyze their effect on general performance and in mitigating bias. Our experiments with two real-world datasets, a Wikipedia Talk Pages dataset (WikiDetox) of size ~96k and a Twitter dataset of size ~24k, show that the use of knowledge-based generalizations results in better performance by forcing the classifier to learn from generalized content. Our methods utilize existing knowledge-bases and can easily be extended to other tasks

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The problems of inconstancies in age determination of Baltic Sea cod have been discussed more that 30 years. The objective reason of disagreements on definition of age depends from in different time of formation of opaque and hyaline zones on the cod otoliths. Timing of zone formation considerably differs in time and area. The aim of investigation is to analyze the formation of annual growth zones on the cod otoliths of two abundant generations of 1976 and 1977 in different areas of the Baltic Sea and long‐term changes in the growth of otoliths in the eastern Baltic

description: The tilting angular dependence of the energy gap was measured in the bilayer quantum Hall state at the Landau level filling $ν=1$ by changing the density imbalance between the two layers. The observed gap behavior shows a continuous transformation from the bilayer balanced density state to the monolayer state. Even a sample with 33 K tunneling gap shows the same activation energy anomaly reported by Murphy {\it et al.}. We discuss a possible relation between our experimental results and the quantum Hall ferromagnet of spins and pseudospins.

description: The work includes a brief overview of the applications of the powerful and easy-to-perform method of Microwave Radiometry (MWR) for the diagnosis of various diseases. The main goal of this paper is to develop a method for diagnosing breast oncology based on machine learning algorithms using thermometric data, both real medical measurements and simulation results of MWR examinations. The dataset includes distributions of deep and skin temperatures calculated in numerical models of the dynamics of thermal and radiation fields inside a biological tissue. The constructed combined dataset allows us to explore the limits of applicability of the MWR method for detecting weak tumors. We use convolutional neural networks and classic machine learning algorithms (k-nearest neighbors, naive Bayes classifier, support vector machine) to classify data. The construction of Kohonen self-organizing maps to explore the structure of our combined dataset demonstrated differences between the temperatures of patients with positive and negative diagnoses. Our analysis shows that the MWR can detect tumors with a radius of up to 0.5 cm if they are at the stage of rapid growth, when the tumor volume doubling occurs in approximately 100 days or less. The use of convolutional neural networks for MWR provides both high sensitivity ($sens=0.86$) and specificity ($spec=0.82$), which is an advantage over other methods for diagnosing breast cancer. New modified scheme for medical measurements of IR temperature and brightness temperature is proposed for a larger number of points in the breast compared to the classical scheme. This approach can increase the effectiveness and sensitivity of diagnostics by several percent.

description: Tong-il, a high-yielding rice variety developed in Korea in the 1960s, was widely recognized as successful innovation and was credited with bringing self-sufficiency in rice to Korea in the 1970s. The development of Tong-il rice was also selected as one of the most important scientific achievements in the 20th century in Korea. Despite the prominence and socio-economic implications of Tong-il rice to other less-developed countries, its history has not been known. Hence, the history of Tong-il may have lessons for considering the local development and adoption of new agricultural technologies in less-developed countries. This paper deals with a brief history of Tong-il rice from development to disappearance.

description: This research paper examines the interactions between planning practices aiming for the developmental reconstruction of a local so-ciety and actual changes onto the society. For the purpose, the re-search measures four procedural characteristics in the voluntary planning practice in a declining mining town; it also analyzes three dimensions of community empowerment in the mountainous town Churam. The paper demonstrates that each characteristics of the four procedural variables in planning practices contributes to the rel-ative dimensions of community empowerment, and that each one of the three dimensions of community empowerment exerts an influ-ence on the constitution of actual planning practices, reversely. Based on the case study, the paper concludes that there exists a mutual causality between planning practices and social develop-ment, depending on participatory measures for local people in the planning processes. Drawing on the conclusion, the paper suggests the significance of participatory planning processes in socio-political reconstruction of local communities; by the same token, it also legiti-mizes the understanding of local governments’ public planning not only as an economic enterprise but also as a socio-political one.

description: Process of sediment and woody debris transport generated by landslides and debris flows are simulated numerically using the depth-integrated two-dimensional forms for mass and momentum conservation equation with Egashira et al., (1997)’s formulas for resistance law and erosion-deposition formulas. In order to discuss woody debris behavior, a convection equation is formulated with erosion-deposition term where the yield of woody debris takes place proportionally to sediment erosion and deposition. A small drainage basin located within Akatani River basin of the Fukuoka Prefecture of Japan, where a large number of landslides and debris flows with woody debris occurred during a heavy rainfall event in 2017, is selected for this study. The numerical solution reproduced the spatial distribution of erosional area and depositional area, and run out volume of sediment at the outlet of the valley. The solution also reproduced the spatial distribution and run out volume of woody debris.

description: The advancement in science and technology has led to the detection of diseases affecting humans, and those which could give room to more diseases if it is not matched with a couple that is not suitable. The level of marriage conducted in Nasarawa State without pre-marital test is becoming alarming. Most couples in Nasarawa State felt disturbed on the issue of pre-marital tests for the fear of a result that could deteriorate their plan of marriage. Hence, most people give preferences to go to a wedding without a pre-marital test. This study assessed pre-marital tests among Muslim couples of Nasarawa State. Being a field survey, the study collected data from both primary and secondary sources. A total of 100 respondents 33 from each of the three senatorial zones were selected through random sampling.

description: We present the results of the analysis of the very massive cluster MOO J1142$+$1527 at a redshift $z = 1.2$ based on high angular resolution NIKA2 Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) and $Chandra$ X-ray data. This multi-wavelength analysis enables us to estimate the shape of the temperature profile with unprecedented precision at this redshift and to obtain a map of the gas entropy distribution averaged along the line of sight. The comparison between the cluster morphological properties observed in the NIKA2 and $Chandra$ maps together with the analysis of the entropy map allows us to conclude that MOO J1142$+$1527 is an on-going merger hosting a cool-core at the position of the X-ray peak. This work demonstrates how the addition of spatially-resolved SZ observations to low signal-to-noise X-ray data can bring valuable insights on the intracluster medium thermodynamic properties at $z>1$.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.FLBEIA is an R library which provides a flexible and generic tool to conduct BioEconomic Impact Assessment of fisheries management strategies. It has been built under a Management Strategy Evaluation framework which consist in simulating the fisheries system together with the management process. The fisheries system is simulated in the so called Operating Model which describes the true dynamics of the system and the management process is simulated in the Management Procedure which generates an observed system from the reality. The management advice is generated based on the observed system, instead of on the real one

description: Faced with novel coronavirus outbreak, the most hard-hit countries adopted a lockdown strategy to contrast the spread of virus. Many studies have already documented that the COVID-19 control actions have resulted in improved air quality locally and around the world. Following these lines of research, we focus on air quality changes in the urban territory of Chieti-Pescara (Central Italy), identified as an area of criticality in terms of air pollution. Concentrations of NO2, PM10, PM2.5 and benzene are used to evaluate air pollution changes in this Region. Data were measured by several monitoring stations over two specific periods: from 1st February to 10 th March 2020 (before lockdown period) and from 11st March 2020 to 18 th April 2020 (during lockdown period). The impact of lockdown on air quality is assessed through functional data analysis. Our work makes an important contribution to the analysis of variance for functional data (FANOVA). Specifically, a novel approach based on multivariate functional principal component analysis is introduced to tackle the multivariate FANOVA problem for independent measures, which is reduced to test multivariate homogeneity on the vectors of the most explicative principal components scores. Results of the present study suggest that the level of each pollutant changed during the confinement. Additionally, the differences in the mean functions of all pollutants according to the location and type of monitoring stations (background vs traffic), are ascribable to the PM10 and benzene concentrations for pre-lockdown and during-lockdown tenure, respectively. FANOVA has proven to be beneficial to monitoring the evolution of air quality in both periods of time. This can help environmental protection agencies in drawing a more holistic picture of air quality status in the area of interest.

description: The many-multiplet method applied to high redshift quasar absorption spectra has indicated a possible time variation of the fine structure constant. Alternatively, a constant value of alpha is consistent with the observational analysis if a non-solar isotopic ratio of Mg24,25,26 occurs at high redshift. In particular, a higher abundance of the heavier isotopes Mg25,26 are required to explain the observed multiplet splitting. We show that the synthesis of Mg25,26 at the base of the convective envelope in low-metallicity asymptotic giant branch stars, combined with a simple model of galactic chemical evolution, can produce the required isotopic ratios and is supported by recent observations of high abundances of the neutron-rich Mg isotopes in metal-poor globular-cluster stars. We conclude that the present data based on high redshift quasar absorption spectra may be providing interesting information on the nucleosynthetic history of such systems, rather than a time variation of fundamental constants.

Body Schema Acquisition through Active Learning

description: We present an active learning algorithm for the problem of body schema learning, i.e. estimating a kinematic model of a serial robot. The learning process is done online using Recursive Least Squares (RLS) estimation, which outperforms gradient methods usually applied in the literature. In addiction, the method provides the required information to apply an active learning algorithm to find the optimal set of robot configurations and observations to improve the learning process. By selecting the most informative observations, the proposed method minimizes the required amount of data. We have developed an efficient version of the active learning algorithm to select the points in real-time. The algorithms have been tested and compared using both simulated environments and a real humanoid robot.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Mixed fisheries and technical interactions in European fisheries have been a subject of research for many years. The establishment in 2010 of an ICES Working Group tasked with producing annual mixed fisheries forecasts and advice for North Sea demersal fisheries represents a commitment to use these approaches in routine scientific advice for the first time. The demersal fisheries of the North Sea provide a particularly interesting context for this work due to their high complexity in terms of the numbers of fleets, gears, metiérs and species involved, and also because mixed-fishery effects have contributed to the lack of recovery of the North Sea cod stock. The implementation of mixed-fishery forecasts which account for the fishery complexity and thus allow mixedfishery effects to be modelled has posed a number of challenges relating to issues such as data requirements and the need to integrate the work with the existing single stock assessments. The explicit representation of the complexity of the fisheries also raises questions about the extent to which mixed fisheries science can be used to give ‘advice’ in the traditional sense. This paper addresses the challenges and issues that have arisen through the practical implementation of mixed-fishery forecasts, then discusses the further developments that will be required to progress towards more integrated multistock management using mixed-fishery management plans.

Queering Cannabis

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: “Queer demarcates not a positivity but a positionality, vis-à-vis the normative, a positionality that… is in fact available to anyone or thing that is marginalized.” - (Halperin 62) Despite the growing relevance of recreational dispensaries, currently there is a severe lack of architectural inquiry that critically looks at the socio-spatial development of the cannabis storefront. Furthermore, heteronormative discussion of dispensaries willfully ignores or overlooks the queer roots of legal cannabis architecture in the HIV-positive LGBT community of San Francisco. The research phase of this project parallels queer space theory with Everyday Urbanism and offers a new lens to understand the early cannabis dispensary as a queered space. What is queer space, or rather, what does it mean to queer? Reed bemoans the idea that because queerness is “... an ineffable ideal of oppositional culture, [and] is so fluid and contingent that the idea of a concrete queer space is an oxymoron” (Reed 64). Instead, he along with other queer space theorists, such as Aaron Betsky, layout a series of qualities that can be used to better understand queer space as a process based attitude towards design, something that is actionable, a queering of architecture. Queering Cannabis is an installation-based project informed by the queer roots of legal cannabis architecture. Functionally, the project posits that the queering of architecture offers an actionable design attitude, which works in opposition to the erasure that has taken place through the typification of the cannabis dispensary over time and current policies that stigmatize the consumption of cannabis. Sitting somewhere between performance, tagging, and protest, Queering Cannabis initiates a sequence of enactment, loss, and construction informed by the symbolic queerness of smoke, ash, and residue. Seattle, Washington, is the primary site of investigation and deployment of this theory. Seattle was chosen for the relatively long period legal cannabis architecture has had to develop, given Washington state legalizing recreational cannabis in 2012 (Reiman 351).
