description: Cities have always been dependent on a variety of resources not only for their survival, but also to enable them to serve as places of innovation and civilisation. One of the most important of these resources is food, which recently has been threatened by actual and anticipated concerns surrounding climate change, peak oil, economic crises and environmental degradation. Attention has focused in recent years on the potential to supply a greater proportion of the food requirements of cities by producing and processing more food locally, either within or close by the city in question. Consequently, gradually, food is reappearing on the agenda of a growing number of local governments, as municipalities engage directly with food systems as an integral part of their responsibilities. In the City of Gold Coast, up to 95% of the fresh food consumed comes from somewhere else. Recently, perhaps as a consequence of natural events that have severely interrupted the supply of food to the city, both political and community interest in local food has grown. On the community side, demand for locally grown and produced food seems to be on the rise, politically, the release and implementation of the Gold Coast Climate Change Strategy 2009 – 2014 suggested a political commitment to increase local food production and purchase.

description: Energy cascades lie at the heart of the dynamics of turbulent flows. In a recent study of turbulence in fluids with odd-viscosity [de Wit \textit{et al.}, Nature \textbf{627}, 515 (2024)], the two-dimensionalization of the flow at small scales leads to the arrest of the energy cascade and selection of an intermediate scale, between the forcing and the viscous scales. To investigate the generality of this phenomenon, we study a shell model that is carefully constructed to have three-dimensional turbulent dynamics at small wavenumbers and two-dimensional turbulent dynamics at large wavenumbers. The large scale separation that we can achieve in our shell model allows us to examine clearly the interplay between these dynamics, which leads to an arrest of the energy cascade at a transitional wavenumber and an associated accumulation of energy at the same scale. Such pile-up of energy around the transitional wavenumber is reminiscent of the formation of condensates in two-dimensional turbulence, \textit{but, in contrast, it occurs at intermediate wavenumbers instead of the smallest wavenumber

description: Gene expression is regulated by local genetic sequence, and researchers have identified thousands of common genetic variants in the human population that associate with altered gene expression. These expression quantitative trait loci (eQTLs) often co-localize with genome wide association study (GWAS) loci, suggesting that they may hold the key to understanding genetic effects on human phenotype and cause disease. eQTLs are enriched in cis-regulatory elements, suggesting that many affect gene expression via non-coding mechanisms. However, many of the discovered loci lie in noncoding regions of the genome for which we lack understanding, and determining their mechanisms of action remains a challenge. To complicate matters further, genetic variants may have varied effects in different tissues or under different environmental conditions. The research presented here uses statistical methods to investigate genetic variants’ mechanisms of actions and context specificity. In Chapter 1, we introduce eQTLs and discuss challenges associated with their discovery and analysis. In Chapter 2, we investigate cross-tissue eQTL and gene expression patterns, including for GWAS genes. We find that eQTL effects show increasing, decreasing, and non-monotonic relationships with gene expression levels across tissues, and we observe higher eQTL effects and eGene expression for GWAS genes in disease-relevant tissues. In Chapter 3, we use the natural variation of transcription factor activity among tissues and between individuals to elucidate mechanisms of action of eQTL regulatory variants and understand context specificity of eQTL effects. We discover thousands of potential transcription factor mechanisms of eQTL effects, and we investigate the transcription factors’ roles with orthogonal datasets and experimental approaches. Finally, in Chapter 4, we focus on a locus implicated in coronary artery disease risk and unravel the likely causal variants and functional mechanisms of the locus’s effects on gene expression and disease. We confirm the locus’s colocalization with an eQTL for the LIPA gene, and using statistical, functional, and experimental approaches, we highlight two potential causal variants in partial linkage disequilibrium. Taken together, this work develops a framework for understanding eQTL context variability and highlights the complex genetic and environmental contributions to gene regulation. It provides a deeper understanding of gene regulation and of genetic and environmental contributions to complex traits and disease, enabling future research surrounding the context variability of genetic effects on gene expression and disease.

description: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly being developed and applied, but their widespread use faces challenges. These include aligning LLMs' responses with human values to prevent harmful outputs, which is addressed through safety training methods. Even so, bad actors and malicious users have succeeded in attempts to manipulate the LLMs to generate misaligned responses for harmful questions such as methods to create a bomb in school labs, recipes for harmful drugs, and ways to evade privacy rights. Another challenge is the multilingual capabilities of LLMs, which enable the model to understand and respond in multiple languages. Consequently, attackers exploit the unbalanced pre-training datasets of LLMs in different languages and the comparatively lower model performance in low-resource languages than high-resource ones. As a result, attackers use a low-resource languages to intentionally manipulate the model to create harmful responses. Many of the similar attack vectors have been patched by model providers, making the LLMs more robust against language-based manipulation. In this paper, we introduce a new black-box attack vector called the \emph{Sandwich attack}: a multi-language mixture attack, which manipulates state-of-the-art LLMs into generating harmful and misaligned responses. Our experiments with five different models, namely Google's Bard, Gemini Pro, LLaMA-2-70-B-Chat, GPT-3.5-Turbo, GPT-4, and Claude-3-OPUS, show that this attack vector can be used by adversaries to generate harmful responses and elicit misaligned responses from these models. By detailing both the mechanism and impact of the Sandwich attack, this paper aims to guide future research and development towards more secure and resilient LLMs, ensuring they serve the public good while minimizing potential for misuse.

description: We show that a partition function of topological twisted N=4 Yang-Mills theory is given by Seiberg-Witten invariants on a Riemannian four manifolds under the condition that the sum of Euler number and signature of the four manifolds vanish. The partition function is the sum of Euler number of instanton moduli space when it is possible to apply the vanishing theorem. And we get a relation of Euler number labeled by the instanton number $k$ with Seiberg-Witten invariants, too. All calculation in this paper is done without assuming duality.

description: We study the spin dynamics of classical Heisenberg antiferromagnet with nearest neighbor interactions on a quasi-two-dimensional kagome bilayer. This geometrically frustrated lattice consists of two kagome layers connected by a triangular-lattice linking layer. By combining Monte Carlo with precessional spin dynamics simulations, we compute the dynamical structure factor of the classical spin liquid in kagome bilayer and investigate the thermal and dilution effects. While the low frequency and long wavelength dynamics of the cooperative paramagnetic phase is dominated by spin diffusion, weak magnon excitations persist at higher energies, giving rise the half moon pattern in the dynamical structure factor. In the presence of spin vacancies, the dynamical properties of the diluted system can be understood within the two population picture. The spin diffusion of the "correlated" spin clusters is mainly driven by the zero-energy weather-van modes, giving rise to an autocorrelation function that decays exponentially with time. On the other hand, the diffusive dynamics of the quasi-free "orphan" spins leads to a distinctive longer time power-law tail in the autocorrelation function. We discuss the implications of our work for the glassy behaviors observed in the archetypal frustrated magnet SrCr$_{9p}$Ga$_{12-9p}$O$_{19}$ (SCGO).

description: An upper quasi-density on $\bf H$ (the integers or the non-negative integers) is a real-valued subadditive function $μ^\ast$ defined on the whole power set of $\mathbf H$ such that $μ^\ast(X) \le μ^\ast({\bf H}) = 1$ and $μ^\ast(k \cdot X + h) = \frac{1}{k}\, μ^\ast(X)$ for all $X \subseteq \bf H$, $k \in {\bf N}^+$, and $h \in \bf N$, where $k \cdot X := \{kx: x \in X\}$; and an upper density on $\bf H$ is an upper quasi-density on $\bf H$ that is non-decreasing with respect to inclusion. We say that a set $X \subseteq \bf H$ is small if $μ^\ast(X) = 0$ for every upper quasi-density $μ^\ast$ on $\bf H$. Main examples of upper densities are given by the upper analytic, upper Banach, upper Buck, and upper Pólya densities, along with the uncountable family of upper $α$-densities, where $α$ is a real parameter $\ge -1$ (most notably, $α= -1$ corresponds to the upper logarithmic density, and $α= 0$ to the upper asymptotic density). It turns out that a subset of $\bf H$ is small if and only if it belongs to the zero set of the upper Buck density on $\bf Z$. This allows us to show that many interesting sets are small, including the integers with less than a fixed number of prime factors, counted with multiplicity; the numbers represented by a binary quadratic form with integer coefficients whose discriminant is not a perfect square; and the image of $\bf Z$ through a non-linear integral polynomial in one variable.

On the nature of inner light-rings

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Non-singular horizonless ultracompact objects provide a simple resolution to the black holes singularity problem. It has been shown that, if these objects are compact enough to exhibit the presence of the light-ring required to mimic the phenomenology of general relativity black holes, they must have at least one additional light-ring. The stability of the inner light ring has been proven under the assumption of Einstein equations and the validity of the null energy condition. Since this can have important repercussions on the instability of a horizonless ultracompact object and the existence of the latter requires some modified gravitational dynamics and/or exotic matter, it is desirable to obtain a model-independent proof of the stability of the additional light-ring. In this paper, we prove the stability of the inner light-ring without any assumption on the dynamics of the theory, while assuming that the outer light-ring has the same properties as the Kerr light-ring. Given the stringent observational constraints on the geometry at the outer light-ring scale, our result now rests solely on geometric considerations and applies to any theory of gravity with any matter content that cannot be ruled out by observations.

description: This paper suggests that by operationalizing the concept of commitment in the shape of a model, a new insight is provided in improving software processes - a more human centered approach as opposed to various technical approaches available. In doing so the SPI managers/change agents are able to plan better the software process improvement initiative and benchmark successful projects (as well as failed ones). Results from five interviews with SPI professionals on the proposed Behavior-based Commitment Model are reported, together with early results from the empirical test in 14 software process improvement projects. Early results suggest that the behaviors introduced in the model are relevant in SPI initiatives, the use of model raises the awareness about the people issues in improving processes, and the model could be used aside with CMM, SPICE or other process improvement models. Keywords: software process improvement, commitment, diagnostic tool, self-perception theory.

description: The maximal minors of a p by (m + p) matrix of univariate polynomials of degree n with indeterminate coefficients are themselves polynomials of degree np. The subalgebra generated by their coefficients is the coordinate ring of the quantum Grassmannian, a singular compactification of the space of rational curves of degree np in the Grassmannian of p-planes in (m + p)-space. These subalgebra generators are shown to form a sagbi basis. The resulting flat deformation from the quantum Grassmannian to a toric variety gives a new `Gröbner basis style' proof of the Ravi-Rosenthal-Wang formulas in quantum Schubert calculus. The coordinate ring of the quantum Grassmannian is an algebra with straightening law, which is normal, Cohen-Macaulay, Gorenstein and Koszul, and the ideal of quantum Plücker relations has a quadratic Gröbner basis. This holds more generally for skew quantum Schubert varieties. These results are well-known for the classical Schubert varieties (n=0). We also show that the row-consecutive p by p-minors of a generic matrix form a sagbi basis and we give a quadratic Gröbner basis for their algebraic relations.

description: We uncover a new family of few-body topological phases in periodically driven fermionic systems in two dimensions. These phases, which we term correlation-induced anomalous Floquet insulators (CIAFIs), are characterized by quantized contributions to the bulk magnetization from multi-particle correlations, and are classified by a family of integer-valued topological invariants. The CIAFI phases do not require many-body localization, but arise in the generic situation of k-particle localization, where the system is localized (due to disorder) for any finite number of particles up to a maximum number, k. We moreover show that, when fully many-body localized, periodically driven systems of interacting fermions in two dimensions are characterized by a quantized magnetization in the bulk, thus confirming the quantization of magnetization of the anomalous Floquet insulator. We demonstrate our results with numerical simulations.

description: Software process improvement (SPI) research and practice is transforming from the traditional large-scale assessment based improvement initiatives into smaller sized, tailored initiatives where the emphasis is set on the development personnel and their personal abilities. The personal software process (PSPSM) is a method for improving the personal capabilities of a single software engineer. This paper contributes to the body of knowledge within this area by reporting experiences from Denmark. The results indicate an improvement in the effort estimation skills and a significant increase in the resulting product quality in terms of reduced total defect density. The data shows that with relatively small effort (i.e., 10%) used in defect prevention activities (i.e., design and code reviews) almost one third of all defects were removed and consequently the time required for the testing was cut by 50%. Based on this data the use of the PSP method in the software industry is discussed.

description: The mammalian zygote and resulting embryo is the starting point of life, and thus must overcome continuous insult from DNA stress and damage while maintaining genome stability and integrity. This thesis examines genome stability in the context of chromosome changes, both in the context of ploidy and whole genome duplications as well as double-strand DNA breakage and chromosome loss. Regarding the ploidy portion of this work, while possible to derive and maintain, mammalian haploid stem cells undergo spontaneous, irreversible diploidization. Here, we investigated the mechanisms driving diploidization using human and mouse embryos, and human embryonic stem cells experimental systems. We demonstrate that diploidization occurs early in development and is often unproductive, with diploidized cells failing to contribute to the developing embryo. Diploidization involves delayed mitotic progression, incomplete alignment of chromosomes, and occurs through mitotic slippage or failed cytokinesis after exit from mitosis without formation of a midbody. Diploidization is associated with DNA damage and aneuploidies, with an upstream component being a decreased nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio. Increasing this ratio in haploid mouse embryos improves developmental outcomes and decreasing this ratio in diploids results in poor outcomes. A sensor of the nuclear to cytoplasmic ratio, CHK1, is required for haploid maintenance as inhibition increases binucleation and diploidization in haploid human embryonic stem cells. Thus, we demonstrate the earliest upstream driver of diploidization as being the nuclear-cytoplasmic ratio in haploid mammalian cells, rather than the actual haploid state. Regarding the double-strand DNA breakage portion of this work, the preferred mechanism by which human embryos repair double-strand breaks was investigated. Utilizing allele-specific CRISPR-Cas9 cleavage, we show that human embryos repair double-strand breaks primarily through non-homologous end joining. In embryos left unrepaired or misrepaired, partial or whole chromosome loss occurs, which can be easily overlooked and misinterpreted with common on-target analyses such as PCR. Off-target Cas-9 activity recapitulated findings on an entirely separate chromosome, confirming the preference of the human embryo for non-homologous end joining and microhomology-mediated end joining, as well as chromosome loss where repair was unsuccessful.

description: We derive a new set of kinematic equations for front motion in two-dimensional bistable media. The equations generalize the geometric approach by complementing the equation for the front curvature with an order parameter equation associated with a nonequilibrium Ising-Bloch bifurcation. The resulting equations capture the core structure of spiral waves and spontaneous spiral-wave nucleation.

Genetically targeted anatomical and behavioral characterization of the cornu ammonis 2 (CA2) subfield of the mouse hippocampus

description: The hippocampus is critical for storing declarative memory, our repository of knowledge of who, what, where, and when. Mnemonic information is processed and encoded in the hippocampus through several parallel routes, most notably the trisynaptic pathway, in which information proceeds from entorhinal cortex (EC) to dentate gyrus (DG) to CA3 and then to CA1, the main hippocampal output. Absent from this pathway is the CA2 subfield, a relatively small area interposed between CA3 and CA1 that has recently been shown to mediate a powerful disynaptic circuit linking EC input with CA1 output. Usually ignored or grouped together with CA3, CA2 has generally escaped exploration presumably due to its relatively small size and somewhat ill-defined borders. A few studies have proposed an important role for the CA2 subfield of the hippocampus, however, the relevance of this subfield in a behaving animal has not been explored. The function of a particular brain region may be inferred by examining the effects of a lesion of that area. Indeed, the hippocampus's role in learning and memory was elucidated following the bilateral medial temporal lobe ablation of Henry Molaison (patient H.M.). Similarly, a lesion of CA2 could be used to infer its role in learning, memory, and disease. Due to the relatively small size of CA2, physical or chemical lesions are not precise enough to ablate this region without collateral damage. To overcome this limitation, I generated a CA2-specific transgenic mouse line to enable genetic targeting of this subfield. I used this mouse line to map CA2 connectivity and explore its behavioral role. Using monosynaptic rabies tracing, CA2 axon tracing, and electrophysiology, I confirmed the disynaptic pathway and presence of septal and subcortical inputs to CA2. Genetically targeted inactivation of CA2 caused a remarkably profound loss of social memory, with no change in sociability. This impairment was not the result of a general loss of hippocampal function as CA2-inactivation did not impact performance on several other hippocampal-dependent tasks, including spatial and contextual memory. These behavioral and anatomical results thus reveal CA2 as a hub of sociocognitive processing and implicate its dysfunction in social endophenotypes of psychiatric diseases such as schizophrenia and autism.

description: Leveraging on recent advancements on adaptive methods for convex minimization problems, this paper provides a linesearch-free proximal gradient framework for globalizing the convergence of popular stepsize choices such as Barzilai-Borwein and one-dimensional Anderson acceleration. This framework can cope with problems in which the gradient of the differentiable function is merely locally Hölder continuous. Our analysis not only encompasses but also refines existing results upon which it builds. The theory is corroborated by numerical evidence that showcases the synergetic interplay between fast stepsize selections and adaptive methods.

description: Fractional charges, and in particular the spectral asymmetry eta of certain Dirac operators, can appear in the central charge of supersymmetric field theories. This yields unexpected analyticity constraints on eta from which classic results can be recovered in an elegant way. The method could also be applied in the context of string theory.

description: The All-Sky Automated Survey for Supernovae (ASAS-SN) provides long baseline (${\sim}4$ yrs) light curves for sources brighter than V$\lesssim17$ mag across the whole sky. As part of our effort to characterize the variability of all the stellar sources visible in ASAS-SN, we have produced ${\sim}30.1$ million V-band light curves for sources in the southern hemisphere using the APASS DR9 catalog as our input source list. We have systematically searched these sources for variability using a pipeline based on random forest classifiers. We have identified ${\sim} 220,000$ variables, including ${\sim} 88,300$ new discoveries. In particular, we have discovered ${\sim}48,000$ red pulsating variables, ${\sim}23,000$ eclipsing binaries, ${\sim}2,200$ $δ$-Scuti variables and ${\sim}10,200$ rotational variables. The light curves and characteristics of the variables are all available through the ASAS-SN variable stars database (https://asas-sn.osu.edu/variables). The pre-computed ASAS-SN V-band light curves for all the ${\sim}30.1$ million sources are available through the ASAS-SN photometry database (https://asas-sn.osu.edu/photometry). This effort will be extended to provide ASAS-SN light curves for sources in the northern hemisphere and for V$\lesssim17$ mag sources across the whole sky that are not included in APASS DR9.

description: In this paper, we study a well known asymptotic limit in which the second Painlevé equation (P_II) becomes the first Painlevé equation (P_I). The limit preserves the Painlevé property (i.e. that all movable singularities of all solutions are poles). Indeed it has been commonly accepted that the movable simple poles of opposite residue of the generic solution of P_{II} must coalesce in the limit to become movable double poles of the solutions of P_I, even though the limit naively carried out on the Laurent expansion of any solution of P_{II} makes no sense. Here we show rigorously that a coalescence of poles occurs. Moreover we show that locally all analytic solutions of P_I arise as limits of solutions of P_{II}.
