Bradyornis ater

description: Bradyornis ater Sundevall, 1850: 105.
 VERBATIM TYPE LOCALITY: “ E Caffraria inferiori et superiori ”
 CURRENT STATUS: Synonym of Melaenornis pammelaina pammelaina (Stanley, 1814); Muscicapidae (Dickinson & Christidis 2014: 590).
TYPE MATERIAL: In his type description, Sundevall (1850: 105) mentioned both males and females.According to his acquisition catalogue he actually had four specimens at hand. Gyldenstolpe (1926: 62) refers to NRM 568759 [6848] as a “type”; we treat this as a lectotype designation of this adult male collected 19 April 1840 in Durban. The three paralectotypes are: NRM 568758 [6850], a male collected 16 October 1843 in Saulspoort (Mohapoani); NRM 568757 [6851], a female collected 12 December 1841 in Magalisberg; and a male [6849] collected 13 October 1843 in Saulspoort sent on exchange to Berlin in 1853 (but not found in the ZMB database).
VERIFIED TYPE LOCALITY: Durban, KwaZulu-Natal.
COMMENTS: There are no journal entries for this date. Wahlberg was in Durban from March to early October 1840.

description: The implementation of supersymmetry transformations by Hilbert space operators is discussed in the framework of supersymmetric C$^*$--dynamical systems. It is shown that the only states admitting such an implementation are pure supersymmetric ground states or mixtures and elementary excitations thereof. Faithful states, such as KMS--states, are never supersymmetric.

title: Testifying to the Image: The video of the assault on Rodney King as evidence, as event, and as exhibition
Creators: name: Ringborg, William Theodor
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2020

description: This practice-based dissertation thinks through a major dilemma within the world of curatorial practice: the exhibition of representations of violence within the space for art. It emanates from an exhibition on images of violence that I curated at Bonniers Konsthall, Stockholm, which led to questions about the discourse that dominates spaces for art and a restriction of knowledge that confines the image to the reconstruction of artistic intentions against a history of artistic intentions. “The discourse of visual culture,” on the other hand, as Ariella Azoulay has argued, “is not obligated to precedents in the history of art, nor is it necessary to return to them as points of reference or to respect the links that bind them.” The image is within visual cultures a point of departure. Debate does not end with or is limited by the image. How may one broaden the scope of the art- space by engaging the discourse of visual cultures? The dissertation tackles this question in a single case study: the video by George Holliday of LAPD officers beating Rodney King in 1991. The study pays particular attention to the video in a triangulation of spaces: in the courtroom, on television, and in the gallery. Not only was the video of King’s beating presented as evidence in the infamous Simi Valley trial, it was also extensively broadcast on TV, as well as exhibited in the 1993 Whitney Biennial. The video of this assault in three discursive spaces offers the opportunity to reflect on the system of relations between image, viewer, and site. In doing so, it draws us towards questions not only of presentational circumstances and conditions of use, but also questions of who can speak in which spaces, what kinds of talk can and cannot be heard, and what conditions establish the possibility to make claims.
Small Numerators Canceling Small Denominators: Is Dyson's Hierarchical Model Solvable?

description: We present an analytical method to solve Dyson's hierarchical model, involving the scaling variables near the high-temperature fixed point. The procedure seems plagued by the presence of small denominators as in perturbative expansions near integrable systems in Hamiltonian mechanics. However, in all cases considered, a zero denominator always comes with a zero numerator. We conjecture that these cancellations occur in general, suggesting that the model has remarkable features reminiscent of the integrable systems.

The targum (1980:May 01 - 1980:May 01)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1980

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: We study the cosmological implications of the one-loop terms in the string expansion. In particular, we find non-singular solutions which interpolate between a contracting universe and an expanding universe, and show that these solutions provide a mechanism for removing the initial conditions problem peculiar to spatially closed FRW cosmologies. In addition, we perform numerical calculations to show that the non-singular cosmologies do not require a careful choice of initial conditions, and estimate the likely magnitude of higher order terms in the string expansion.

description: The nonlocal van der Waals (NL-vdW) functionals [Dion et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 246401 (2004)] are being applied more and more frequently in solid-state physics, since they have shown to be much more reliable than the traditional semilocal functionals for systems where weak interactions play a major role. However, a certain number of NL-vdW functionals have been proposed during the last few years, such that it is not always clear which one should be used. In this work, an assessment of NL-vdW functionals is presented. Our test set consists of weakly bound solids, namely rare gases, layered systems like graphite, and molecular solids, but also strongly bound solids in order to provide a more general conclusion about the accuracy of NL-vdW functionals for extended systems. We found that among the tested functionals, rev-vdW-DF2 [Hamada, Phys. Rev. B 89, 121103(R) (2014)] is very accurate for weakly bound solids, but also quite reliable for strongly bound solids.

description: We propose a realistic hybrid classical-quantum linear solver to solve systems of linear equations of a specific type, and demonstrate its feasibility using Qiskit on IBM Q systems. This algorithm makes use of quantum random walk that runs in $\mathcal{O}(N\log(N))$ time on a quantum circuit made of $\mathcal{O}(\log(N))$ qubits. The input and output are classical data, and so can be easily accessed. It is robust against noise, and ready for implementation in applications such as machine learning.

description: We revisit the performance of template-based APR to build comprehensive knowledge about the effectiveness of fix patterns, and to highlight the importance of complementary steps such as fault localization or donor code retrieval. To that end, we first investigate the literature to collect, summarize and label recurrently-used fix patterns. Based on the investigation, we build TBar, a straightforward APR tool that systematically attempts to apply these fix patterns to program bugs. We thoroughly evaluate TBar on the Defects4J benchmark. In particular, we assess the actual qualitative and quantitative diversity of fix patterns, as well as their effectiveness in yielding plausible or correct patches. Eventually, we find that, assuming a perfect fault localization, TBar correctly/plausibly fixes 74/101 bugs. Replicating a standard and practical pipeline of APR assessment, we demonstrate that TBar correctly fixes 43 bugs from Defects4J, an unprecedented performance in the literature (including all approaches, i.e., template-based, stochastic mutation-based or synthesis-based APR).

Quinsam Coal Mine reclamation : 25 years of reclamation experience
Creators: name: Polster, D. F.
name: DuBois, Cale
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Quinsam Coal Corporation (QCC), wholly owned by Hillsborough Resources Limited, operates the Quinsam Coal Mine, located 25 km west of the city of Campbell River on the east coast of Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada. Initially opened as an open pit mine in 1986, a switch from open pit mining to underground mining was made in 1993 with open-pit mining ceasing in 1994. Environmental studies, including reclamation research were initiated at the mine property in the early 1980s. Reclamation test plots were established at one of the bulk sample sites and were used to evaluate various tree re-establishment (reforestation) methods. Reclamation objectives at the mine are directed towards forestry and wildlife habitat production. This paper presents an overview of the reclamation work that has been conducted at the mine as well as a detailed look at the reclamation strategies for the development of productive forests and wildlife habitat. Reclamation test plots established in 1982 have provided 25 years of important long term data on the development of productive forest and habitat sites. Incorporation of nitrogen fixing species, including various agronomic legumes and the native red alder (Alnus rubra (Ait.) Pursh) in the establishment of forests appears to enhance productivity on the reclaimed areas. Comparisons with naturally occurring second growth forests in the mine area are used to demonstrate productive capacity that is as good as or better than that which existed prior to mining.

 CURRENT STATUS: Sigelus silens silens (Shaw 1809); Muscicapidae (Dickinson & Christidis 2014: 590). Implicitly includes vittatus (Sundevall).
 TYPE MATERIAL: Sundevall, in his original description (1850: 106), gave measurements for both male and female and stated that he had several specimens at hand (“ multa specimina allata ”). According to his acquisition catalogue he had five specimens, identified as “ Bradyornis sp. vittatus ” (but later amended to “ taeniopter ” in his handwriting). Gyldenstolpe (1926: 63) referred to NRM 568760 [6854] as a “type” and later in the text also “ought to be regarded as the type”; we treat this as a lectotype designation of this juvenile male collected 4 July 1840 in Durban. The four paralectotypes are: NRM 554256 [6856], an adult female collected 18 April 1840 in Durban; NRM 537793 [6855], a mounted juvenile male collected 19 April 1840 in Durban; RMNH. AVES.139782 [6853] a male (female according to RMNH database) collected 12 May 1840 in Port Natal, sent on exchange to Leiden in 1850; and a skin of uncertain sex (according to Wahlberg via Sundevall’s catalogue) [6857], collected 24 May 1840 in Durban and sent on exchange to Berlin in 1853 (still present in the ZMB database, but without a date and with the collector given as Sundevall).

description: This work addresses the response of a holographic conformal field theory to a homogeneous gravitational periodic driving. The dual geometry is the AdS-soliton, which models a strongly coupled quantum system in a gapped phase, on a compact domain. The response is a time-periodic geometry up to a driving amplitude threshold which decreases with the driving frequency. Beyond that, collapse to a black hole occurs, signaling decoherence and thermalization in the dual theory. At some frequencies, we also find a resonant coupling to the gravitational normal modes of the AdS-soliton, yielding a nonlinearly bound state. We also speculate on the possible uses of quantum strongly coupled systems to build resonant gravitational wave detectors.

description: E-waste is becoming burgeoning global issue, which showcases the impacts of the same on environment and on humans. Marble cutting industries is another industry producing huge amount of marble dust as a waste which is degrading the environment. E-waste and waste marble dust can be utilized in construction industry in different forms thus helps in reducing its impact on environment. In this analysis, electronic waste plastic materials including recycled PCB’s and other PVC components of e-waste has been used as a partial replacement for coarse aggregates and marble dust is used ascomplete replacement for filler in asphalt mix for pavement. A significant increase of Marshall Stability and Flow Value has been observed as percentage of e-waste plastic increases. The plastic content of mix varies 0 %, 4 %, 8 % and 12 % by weight of aggregate. Plots of various Marshall Parameters such as Marshall Stability, Flow value, voids filled with bitumen, voids in mineral aggregates and unit weight against the bitumen content shows an improving trend of parameters with increasing the plastic replacement. Comparison with earlier published result shows that increasing the plastic replacement beyond 12% will have a negative influence on stability value. The recycling of e-waste plastic and marble dust in asphalt mix design for pavements provide us a better way of resource utilization in a cost-effective manner

description: We construct a matrix representation of compact membranes analytically embedded in complex tori. Brane configurations give rise, via Bergman quantization, to U(N) gauge fields on the dual torus, with almost-anti-self-dual field strength. The corresponding U(N) principal bundles are shown to be non-trivial, with vanishing instanton number and first Chern class corresponding to the homology class of the membrane embedded in the original torus. In the course of the investigation, we show that the proposed quantization scheme naturally provides an associative star-product over the space of functions on the surface, for which we give an explicit and coordinate-invariant expression. This product can, in turn, be used the quantize, in the sense of deformation quantization, any symplectic manifold of dimension two.

description: We study an M theory universe in the Loop Quantum Cosmology -- inspired models which involve a function, the choice of which leads to a variety of evolutions. The M theory universe is dominated by four stacks of intersecting brane--antibranes and, in general relativity, it becomes effectively four dimensional in future while its seven dimensional internal space reaches a constant size. We analyse the conditions required for non singular evolutions and obtain explicit solutions in the simplified case of a bi--anisotropic universe and a piece--wise linear function for which the evolutions are non singular. One may now ask whether the physics in the Planckian regime can enhance the internal volume to phenomenologically interesting values. In the simplified case considered here, there is no non trivial enhancement. We make some comments on it.

description: Non-malleable codes, introduced by Dziembowski, Pietrzak, and Wichs (ICS 2010), provide a means of encoding information such that if the encoding is tampered with, the result encodes something either identical or completely unrelated. Unlike error-correcting codes (for which the result of tampering must always be identical), non-malleable codes give guarantees even when tampering functions are allowed to change every symbol of a codeword. In this thesis, we will provide constructions of non-malleable codes secure against a variety tampering classes with natural computational semantics: • Bounded-Communication: Functions corresponding to 2-party protocols where each party receives half the input (respectively) and then may communicate 0 is any constant (the efficiency of our code depends on ẟ). This class includes NC⁰. •Decision Trees: each tampered output bit is a function of n¹/⁴-⁰(¹) adaptively chosen bits. •Small-Depth Circuits: each tampered output bit is produced by a 𝒄log(n)/log log(n)-depth circuit of polynomial size, for some constant 𝒄. This class includes AC⁰. •Low Degree Polynomials: each tampered output field element is produced by a low-degree (relative to the field size) polynomial. •Polynomial-Size Circuit Tampering: each tampered codeword is produced by circuit of size 𝒏ᶜ where 𝒄 is any constant (the efficiency of our code depends on 𝒄). This result assumes that E is hard for exponential size nondeterministic circuits (all other results are unconditional). We stress that our constructions are efficient (encoding and decoding can be performed in uniform polynomial time) and (with the exception of the last result, which assumes strong circuit lower bounds) enjoy unconditional, statistical security guarantees. We also illuminate some potential barriers to constructing codes for more complex computational classes from simpler assumptions.

Back Reaction and Graceful Exit in String Inflationary Cosmology

description: Classical string cosmology consists of two branches related to each other by scale-factor duality: a super-inflation branch and a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker (FRW) branch. Curvature and string coupling singularity separates the two branches, hence posing `graceful exit problem' to super-inflationary string cosmology. In an exactly soluble two-dimensional compactification model it is shown that quantum back reaction retards curvature and string coupling growth and connects the super-inflation branch to the FRW branch without encountering a singularity. This may offer an attractive solution to the `graceful exit problem' in string inflationary cosmology.

Toward policy preparedness in physical education

Publisher: name: University of Limerick

Subjects: classificationCode: 4207
subject: Sports science and exercise

description: In this position paper, we propose the uptake of policy preparedness by all physical education (PE) professionals so that they may best address policy issues to enhance quality PE. Our working vision is that policy preparedness starts with ‘awareness’ of the importance of policy and ‘knowledge’ of what policy is and how it happens. Such preparedness is further centred on practical ‘know-how’ for policy process engagement. Furthermore, policy preparedness depends upon ‘motivation and confidence’ to see oneself as a policy actor and to take action to implement policy know-how within one’s sphere of influence. We propose policy preparedness is best developed through sustained, theory-guided reflective dialogue between PE professionals from different policy spaces on their lived policy experiences. We conclude by inviting readers to reflect on their own and other PE professionals’ current and desired levels of policy engagement and to contribute to this working vision of policy preparedness accordingly.

description: Based on recent molecular work by Paudyal & al., the generic limits of the Neotropical woody genus Exostema are reassessed with a view of making them more compatible with traditional, morphology-based generic concepts. A wide circumscription is favoured, congruent with Paudyal & al.'s “clade B” (the Exostema-Solenandra-Coutarea-Hintonia group). Thus defined, Exostema is a genus with 40 species and five natural sections and incorporates three generic splits that were proposed by Paudyal & al. To minimise nomenclatural disruption, a proposal to conserve the name Exostema Rich. against Coutarea Aubl. has been presented separately. Two new combinations at sectional rank are proposed.
On Using Graphical Calculi: Centers, Zeroth Hochschild Homology and Possible Compositions of Induction and Restriction Functors in Various Diagrammatical Algebras
Creators: Brichard, Joelle
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Mathematics
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: This thesis is divided into three chapters, each using certain graphical calculus in a slightly different way. In the first chapter, we compute the dimension of the center of the 0-Hecke algebra Hn and of the Nilcoxeter algebra NCn using a calculus of diagrams on the Moebius band. In the case of the Nilcoxeter algebra, this calculus is shown to produce a basis for Z(NCn) and the table of multiplication in this basis is shown to be trivial. We conjecture that a basis for Z(Hn) can also be obtained in a specic way from this topological calculus. In the second chapter, we also use a calculus of diagrams on the annulus and the Moebius band to determine the zeroth Hochschild Homology of Kuperberg's webs for rank two Lie algebras. We use results from Sikora and Westbury to prove the linear independence of these webs on these surfaces. In the third chapter, we use other diagrams to attempt to find explicitely the possible compositions of the induction and restriction functors in the cyclotomic quotients of the NilHecke algebra. We use a computer program to obtain partial results.
On Violence and Tyranny: Meditation on Political Violence in the Chronicles of Pero Lopez de Ayala

description: On Violence and Tyranny examines historiography as a vehicle for the production of a theory of tyrannicide in the aftermath of the murder of Pedro I de Castilla (1369). The thesis of this work is that by considering the royal chronicle as a vehicle and locus for political theorization, we can appreciate the formulation of a theory of tyrannicide as a medium for dynastic legitimation that is not reducible to political propaganda. Rather, it becomes a meditation about monarchy itself, the limits of power, and the underlying causes and consequences of political violence. The chronicle of the king Pedro's rule conceives an economy of violence coded in terms
      of saber (political wisdom), justice and the law, as a means to face the ideological, political, and social challenges that civil war and regicide pose to a community. I will focus on two fragments of the chronicle, a pair of letters attributed to a wise Moor that the chronicler chose to include in a second stage of his composition and that establish extra textual connections to other political genres such as the specula principum and political prophecy. Through them, I will explore how a theory of tyrannicide allows the chronicler to confront three major problems that regicide poses. First, how to explicate the dynastic break that king Pedro’s murder brought about, and minimize the discontinuity that the advent of a new, and illegitimate, dynasty (the Trastámaras) represented for a historical tradition that deeply valued the continuity of history. Second, how a theory of tyrannicide served to repair the broken ties provoked by the civil war. And third, how to represent that founding violence, the violence against a sovereign, to render it legitimate, but not available for anyone else to exploit.

description: We construct the matrix generalization of the N=2 supersymmetric GNLS hierarchies. This is done by exhibiting the corresponding matrix super Lax operators in terms of N=2 superfields in two different superfield bases. We present the second Hamiltonian structure and discrete symmetries. We then extend our discussion by conjecturing the Lax operators of different reductions of the N=2 supersymmetric matrix KP hierarchy and discuss the simplest examples.

 VERBATIM TYPE LOCALITY: “ circa urbem capensem invenitur ”
 CURRENT STATUS: Emarginata sinuata sinuata (Sundevall, 1858); Muscicapidae (Dickinson & Christidis 2014: 609).
 TYPE MATERIAL: There is no indication in Sundevall’s (1857: 44 footnote) brief description that more than one specimen was available. Following his acquisition catalogue, four specimens [6680–6683] were initially identified as Sylvia / Luscinia sperata, the last one, a “pull.”, with a question mark (which disqualifies it as a type; Art. 72.4.1 of the Code). Gyldenstolpe (1926: 55) referred to NRM 569712 [6682] as a “type”; which we treat as a lectotype designation of this adult male collected 25 January 1845 near Saldanha Bay. The two paralectotypes are: NRM 555379 [6683], a male (or juvenile) [6681] collected 1 February 1840 (or possibly 25 January 1845) near Camperdown; and a study skin of a male [6680] collected 9 January 1840 also near Camperdown. Both paralectotypes seem to have been present in the collection at least until the 1910s, but study skin 6680 could not be found in the NRM collection in 2021.

On Wavelet-Based Methods for Scalar-on-Function Regression
Creators: Ciarleglio, Adam J.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2013
Subjects: Biometry

description: This thesis consists of work done on three projects which extend and employ wavelet-based functional linear regression. In the first project, we propose a wavelet-based approach to functional mixture regression. In our approach, the functional predictor and the unknown component-specific coefficient functions are projected onto an appropriate wavelet basis and simultaneous regularization and estimation are achieved via an l1-penalized fitting procedure that is carried out using an expectation-maximization algorithm. We provide an efficient fitting algorithm, propose a technique for constructing non-parametric confidence bands, demonstrate the performance of our methods through extensive simulations, and apply them to real data in order to investigate the relationship between fractional anisotropy profiles and cognitive function in subjects with multiple sclerosis. In the second project, we propose a new wavelet-based estimator for estimating the coefficient function in a functional linear model. Our estimator attempts to take account of the structured sparsity of the wavelet coefficients used to represent the coefficient function in the fitting procedure. We propose a characterization of the neighborhood structure of wavelet coefficients and exploit this structure in our estimation procedure. We discuss the motivation for our penalized estimator, describe the fitting procedure which can be carried out with existing software, and examine properties of the estimator through simulation. The third and final project explores three novel approaches to using functional data derived from optical coherence tomography devices for diagnosing glaucoma. The first approach uses wavelet-based functional logistic regression to develop predictive models based on measures of retinal nerve fiber layer (RNFL) thickness. The estimates are obtained via an elastic net penalized fitting procedure. The second and third approaches consist of using novel measures of RNFL characteristics to discriminate between healthy and glaucomatous eyes. The three new approaches are compared with commonly used predictive models using data from a case-control study of African American subjects recruited by ophthalmologists at the Harkness Eye Center of Columbia University.

Lattice Boltzmann simulations of three-dimensional thermal convective flows at high Rayleigh number

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Fluid Dynamics (physics.flu-dyn)

description: We present numerical simulations of three-dimensional thermal convective flows in a cubic cell at high Rayleigh number using thermal lattice Boltzmann (LB) method. The thermal LB model is based on double distribution function approach, which consists of a D3Q19 model for the Navier-Stokes equations to simulate fluid flows and a D3Q7 model for the convection-diffusion equation to simulate heat transfer. Relaxation parameters are adjusted to achieve the isotropy of the fourth-order error term in the thermal LB model. Two types of thermal convective flows are considered: one is laminar thermal convection in side-heated convection cell, which is heated from one vertical side and cooled from the other vertical side; while the other is turbulent thermal convection in Rayleigh-Bénard convection cell, which is heated from the bottom and cooled from the top. In side-heated convection cell, steady results of hydrodynamic quantities and Nusselt numbers are presented at Rayleigh numbers of $10^6$ and $10^7$, and Prandtl number of 0.71, where the mesh sizes are up to $257^3$; in Rayleigh-Bénard convection cell, statistical averaged results of Reynolds and Nusselt numbers, as well as kinetic and thermal energy dissipation rates are presented at Rayleigh numbers of $10^6$, $3\times 10^6$, and $10^7$, and Prandtl numbers of 0.7 and 7, where the nodes within thermal boundary layer are around 8. Compared with existing benchmark data obtained by other methods, the present LB model can give consistent results.
