description: We propose a Jacobi-style distributed algorithm to solve convex, quadratically constrained quadratic programs (QCQPs), which arise from a broad range of applications. While small to medium-sized convex QCQPs can be solved efficiently by interior-point algorithms, large-scale problems pose significant challenges to traditional algorithms that are mainly designed to be implemented on a single computing unit. The exploding volume of data (and hence, the problem size), however, may overwhelm any such units. In this paper, we propose a distributed algorithm for general, non-separable, large-scale convex QCQPs, using a novel idea of predictor-corrector primal-dual update with an adaptive step size. The algorithm enables distributed storage of data as well as parallel distributed computing. We establish the conditions for the proposed algorithm to converge to a global optimum, and implement our algorithm on a computer cluster with multiple nodes using Message Passing Interface (MPI). The numerical experiments are conducted on data sets of various scales from different applications, and the results show that our algorithm exhibits favorable scalability for solving large-scale problems.

description: The Ultra High Energy Cosmic Ray (UHECR), by UHE neutrino-relic neutrino--Z showering in Hot Dark Halos (HDM), shows an energy spectra, an anisotropy following the relic neutrino masses and clustering in dark halo. The lighter are the relic neutrinos masses, the higher their corresponding Z resonance energy peaks. A twin light neutrino mass splitting may reflect into a twin Z resonance and a complex UHECR spectra modulation as a twin bump at at highest GZK energy cut-off. Each possible neutrino mass associates a characteristic dark halo size (galactic, local, super cluster) and its anisotropy due to our peculiar position within that dark matter distribution. The expected Z or WW,ZZ showering into proton-anti proton and neutron-anti neutron might correspond to peculiar clustering in observed UHECR at 10^{19}, 2 10^{19}, 4 10^{19} eV. A neutrino light HDM halo around a Mpc will allow to the UHECR neutron--anti-neutron secondary component at E_n> 10^{20} eV (due to Z decay) to arise playing a role comparable with the charged p-bar{p} ones. Their un-deflected n-bar{n} flight is shorter leading to a prompt and hard UHECR trace pointing toward the original UHECR source direction. The direct proton-antiproton pairs are split and spread by random magnetic fields into a more diluted and smeared and lower energy UHECR signal around the original source direction. Additional prompt TeVs signals by synchrotron radiation of electro-magnetic Z showering must also occur solving the Infrared-TeV cut-off. The observed hard doublet and triplets spectra, their time and space clustering already favour the rising key role of UHECR n-bar n secondaries originated by neutrino-Z tail shower.

description: Query optimization is one of the most challenging problems in database systems. Despite the progress made over the past decades, query optimizers remain extremely complex components that require a great deal of hand-tuning for specific workloads and datasets. Motivated by this shortcoming and inspired by recent advances in applying machine learning to data management challenges, we introduce Neo (Neural Optimizer), a novel learning-based query optimizer that relies on deep neural networks to generate query executions plans. Neo bootstraps its query optimization model from existing optimizers and continues to learn from incoming queries, building upon its successes and learning from its failures. Furthermore, Neo naturally adapts to underlying data patterns and is robust to estimation errors. Experimental results demonstrate that Neo, even when bootstrapped from a simple optimizer like PostgreSQL, can learn a model that offers similar performance to state-of-the-art commercial optimizers, and in some cases even surpass them.

description: We present stellar radial velocity data for the Draco dwarf spheroidal galaxy obtained using the AF2/WYFFOS instrument combination on the William Herschel Telescope. Our dataset consists of 186 member stars, 159 of which have good quality velocities, extending to a magnitude V=19.5 with a mean velocity precision of 2 km/s. We find statistically strong evidence of a rising velocity dispersion consistent with a dark matter halo with gently rising rotation curve. There is a <2 sigma signature of rotation about the long axis, inconsistent with tidal disruption being the source of the rising dispersion. By comparing our dataset with earlier velocities, we find that Draco probably has a binary distribution and fraction comparable to those in the solar neighbourhood. We apply a novel maximum likelihood algorithm and fit the velocity data to a two parameter spherical model with an adjustable dark matter content and velocity anisotropy. Draco is best fit by a weakly tangentially anisotropic distribution of stellar orbits in a dark matter halo with a very slowly rising rotation law. We are able to rule out both a mass-follows-light distribution and an extended halo with a harmonic core at the 2.5 to 3 sigma significance level, depending on the details of our assumptions about Draco's stellar binary population. Our modelling lends support to the idea that the dark matter in dwarf spheroidals is distributed in the form of massive, nearly isothermal haloes.

description: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people die by suicide at 7 times the rate of their non-Indigenous peers, yet there is little evidence of effective strategies to reduce this gap. A key reason for this limited evidence base is that the distinct risk and protective factors for suicide experienced by First Nations young people have received little research and little application within suicide prevention initiatives. Research on culturally-specific protective factors is notably absent. This dissertation examines the protective effects of cultural connectedness on suicidality for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people. [...]

description: An analysis of a spherically symmetric braneworld configuration is performed when the intrinsic curvature scalar is included in the bulk action; the vanishing of the electric part of the Weyl tensor is used as the boundary condition for the embedding of the brane in the bulk. All the solutions outside a static localized matter distribution are found; some of them are of the Schwarzschild-(A)dS_{4} form. Two modified Oppenheimer-Volkoff interior solutions are also found; one is matched to a Schwarzschild-(A)dS_{4} exterior, while the other does not. A non-universal gravitational constant arises, depending on the density of the considered object; however, the conventional limits of the Newton's constant are recovered. An upper bound of the order of TeV for the energy string scale is extracted from the known solar system measurements (experiments). On the contrary, in usual brane dynamics, this string scale is calculated to be larger than TeV.

description: An analysis of the drivers of agricultural land use is important for policy makers as the issues of climate change and food security become increasingly prominent in the political landscape. This paper analyses the role of prices, total land holdings and climate on land use in Australia. The analysis relates to a unique comprehensive coverage of commodity types at a regional level. An explicit treatment of missing data and the novel use of cluster analysis is employed within a partial adjustment framework for modelling land allocation. The majority of commodity types across regions exhibit significant degrees of slow partial adjustment for land allocation, the frequency of slow adjustment is greatest with crops and livestock and weakest for vegetables. In general, relative own and cross prices, total land holdings and rainfall only have a minor impact on short-term land allocations, however numerous individual commodity/regional combinations have identified significant short-run impacts.

description: To effectively solve the problem of aquifer clogging in the process of in situ bioremediation of groundwater pollution by micron emulsified vegetable oil (Micron EVO), Nano emulsified vegetable oil (Nano EVO) was prepared to replace conventional micron EVO, and three one-dimensional laboratory columns packed with medium or fine sands were conducted to simulate migration, clogging, and carbon source release of EVO in porous media. Column experiment results show that micron and nano EVO resulted in a 20.40% and 3.20% reduction in permeability of medium sand, respectively. Correspondingly, the interception of micron and nano EVO in medium sand were 28.51% and 20.15%, respectively. Obviously, EVO interception is an important reason for permeability loss, and reducing EVO droplet size can effectively alleviate permeability loss in porous media. The COD ratios (dissolved COD/total COD) of micron and nano EVO in medium sand were 87.61% and 61.95%, respectively. The release effect of nano EVO was better than that of micron EVO. Effective longevity of micron and nano EVO were 243.17 d and 98.80 d, respectively. The effect of fine sand media on EVO indicated nano EVO can be used in a finer granular media, and its longevity can also be extended in this media.

description: This paper introduces a new two-parameter family of dwarf spheroidal (dSph) galaxy models. The density distribution has a Plummer profile and falls like the inverse fourth power of distance in projection, in agreement with the star-count data. The first free parameter controls the velocity anisotropy, the second controls the dark matter content. The dark matter distribution can be varied from one extreme of mass-follows-light through a near-isothermal halo with flat rotation curve to the other extreme of an extended dark halo with harmonic core. This family of models is explored analytically in some detail -- the distribution functions, the intrinsic moments and the projected moments are all calculated. For the nearby Galactic dSphs, samples of hundreds of discrete radial velocities are becoming available. A technique is developed to extract the anisotropy and dark matter content from such data sets by maximising the likelihood function of the sample of radial velocities. This is constructed from the distribution function and corrected for observational errors and the effects of binaries. Tests on simulated data sets show that samples of 1000 discrete radial velocities are ample to break the degeneracy between mass and anisotropy in the nearby dSphs. Interesting constraints can already be placed on the distribution of the dark matter with samples of 160 radial velocities (the size of the present-day data set for Draco).

description: Strategies to reduce phosphorus and sediment yields are identified for two Australian catchments using a nonlinear optimisation model. This provides novel insight into the cost-effective management of dual pollutants of water courses in Australia. A strong degree of complementarity between the two pollutants is highlighted, given the adsorption of phosphorus to sediment that augments the value of gully and streambank management for mitigation. However, the relationship between the two pollutants is asymmetric. A 30 per cent reduction in phosphorus yield achieves a 75 per cent reduction in sediment yield in one catchment, while a 30 per cent reduction in sediment yield achieves only a 12 per cent reduction in phosphorus yield. Sediment abatement costs are low given the efficiency of gully and streambank management. A 30 per cent phosphorus reduction lowers profit by 3–7 per cent, while a 30 per cent sediment reduction lowers profit by around 1 per cent. Land-use optimisation requires spatial heterogeneity in land-use and gully/streambank management responses. Overall, this research demonstrates the need to determine whether one pollutant is more important than another, while recognising the potential that mitigation practices possess for the reduction of multiple emissions during their evaluation.

description: Settlements are key indicators of human presence on the landscape. Large scale mapping of human settlements and their morphology from very high-resolution satellite images is a critical step towards developing an interpretative understanding of population distribution and the sociocultural attributes of the built environment they live in. Convolutional neural network (CNN) based Deep Learning experiments indicates that such computations can be scaled to some of the largest high-performance computing (HPC) architectures. While early results are encouraging for developing settlement and corresponding population mapsat unprecedented speed and spatial resolutions, characterizing human dynamics at planet scale with high temporal resolution will require the community to develop novel geocomputational infrastructures and ecosystems.

description: We summarize what we know about energy and economic growth in a set of stylized facts. We combine analysis of a panel data set of 99 countries from 1971 to 2010 with analysis of some longer run historical data. Our key result is that over the last 40 years there has been a stable cross-sectional relationship between per capita energy use and income per capita with an elasticity of energy use with respect to income of less than unity. This implies that energy intensity has tended to decrease in countries that have become richer but not in others. We also find that over the last two centuries there has been convergence in energy intensity towards the current distribution, per capita energy use has tended to rise, energy quality to increase, and, though evidence is limited, the cost share of energy has declined.

description: The bond market has developed significantly over the last few decades. Bonds have become an increasingly reliable funding source for governments and corporations. Recent developments show that the bond market is increasing continuously, both in terms of its size and penetration. Even during the global financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, when the world economy was experiencing a significant downturn, the bond market showed positive growth, helping to provide funds to address these crises. Despite this noteworthy development of the bond market, research into the association between the bond market and economic development is relatively limited in comparison to research on the relationship between the banking and equity market and the economy. For this reason, this thesis examines the relationship between the bond market and economic growth. More specifically, it investigates the bond-growth nexus from three interrelated dimensions, which give rise to three empirical studies. [...]

description: One measure of geometrical complexity of a spatial curve is the number of crossings in a planar projection of the curve. For $N$-noded ring polymers with a fixed knot type, we evaluate numerically the average of the crossing number over some directions. We find that the average crossing number under the topological constraint are less than that of no topological constraint for large $N$. The decrease of the geometrical complexity is significant when the thickness of polymers is small. The simulation with or without a topological constraint also shows that the average crossing number and the average size of ring polymers are independent measures of conformational complexity.

description: There is a growing body of literature mentioning the slow pace of energy technological progress as compared to other technologies like information technology (IT), but the reasons why energy sector is perplexed by slow innovation remain unexplained. Based on a variety-expanding endogenous technological change model, this paper provides a rigorous economic exposition of the mechanism that underlies the slow progress of energy technological innovation. We show that in decentralized market equilibrium the growth rate of energy technology variety is lower than that of IT variety. This stems from both market fundamentals where the homogeneity of end-use energy goods is less likely to harness the pecuniary externality embedded in the household’s love-for-variety preference, and technology fundamentals where the capital-intensiveness of energy technology inhibits the non-pecuniary technological externality due to knowledge spillovers. We further show that a social planner solution can promote energy technological progress, yet still cannot achieve an outcome in which energy technology variety grows faster than IT variety. By targeting subsidies on energy technology R&D and the use of intermediate primary energy inputs by secondary energy producers, the decentralized market equilibrium can achieve an outcome in which energy technology grows faster than IT.

description: We excite the vacuum of a relativistic theory of bosons coupled to a $U(1)$ gauge field in 1+1 dimensions (bosonic Schwinger model) out of equilibrium by creating a spatially separated particle-antiparticle pair connected by a string of electric field. During the evolution, we observe a strong confinement of bosons witnessed by the bending of their light cone, reminiscent of what has been observed for the Ising model [Nat. Phys. 13, 246 (2017)]. As a consequence, for the time scales we are able to simulate, the system evades thermalization and generates exotic asymptotic states. These states are made of two disjoint regions, an external deconfined region that seems to thermalize, and an inner core that reveals an area-law saturation of the entanglement entropy.

description: The brane-world scenario offers the possibility for signals to travel outside our visible universe and reenter it. We find the condition for a signal emitted from the brane to return to the brane. We study the propagation of such signals and show that, as seen by a 4D observer, these signals arrive earlier than light traveling along the brane. We also study the horizon problem and find that, while the bulk signals can travel far enough to homogenize the visible universe, it is unlikely that they have a significant effect since they are redshifted in the gravitational field of the bulk black hole.

description: There has been extensive analysis of the drivers of carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel combustion and cement production, which constituted only 55% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in 1970 and 65% in 2010. But there has been much less analysis of the drivers of greenhouse gases in general and especially of emissions of greenhouse gases from agriculture, forestry, and other land uses, which we call non-industrial emissions in this paper, that constituted 24% of total emissions in 2010. We statistically analyse the relationship between both industrial and non-industrial greenhouse gas emissions and economic growth and other potential drivers for 129 countries over the period from 1971 to 2010. Our analysis combines the three main approaches in the literature to investigating the evolution of emissions and income. We find that economic growth is a driver of both industrial and non-industrial emissions, though growth has twice the effect on industrial emissions. Both sources of emissions decline over time though this effect is larger for non-industrial emissions. There is also convergence in emissions intensity for both types of emissions but given these other effects there is no evidence for an environmental Kuznets curve.
Re-examining the X-Ray versus Spin-Down Luminosity Correlation of Rotation Powered Pulsars

description: The empirical relation between the X-ray luminosity (in the 2-10 keV band) and the rate of spin-down energy loss of a sample of 37 pulsars is re-examined considering recent data from ASCA, RXTE, BeppoSAX, Chandra, and XMM-Newton. The data show a significant scatter around an average correlation computed including statistical and systematic errors. All the X-ray luminosities are found to lie below a critical line corresponding to a maximum efficiency of conversion of rotational energy into X-rays varying between 0.1 and 80%. The large dispersion of the X-ray luminosity below the critical line indicates that other physical parameters uncorrelated with the period and period derivative need to be included to account for the observed emission at X-ray energies. We indicate a few possibilities that all conspire to lower the luminosity.
description: Accepted by Astronomy & Astrophysics. The final version contains an updated database of pulsars (now 41), a new figure and an extended discussion on the variation of the "efficiency" of the conversion of the spin-down luminosity with the observational band

description: Integrated single photon sources are key building blocks for realizing scalable devices for quantum information processing. For such applications highly coherent and indistinguishable single photons on a chip are required. Here we report on a triggered resonance fluorescence single photon source based on In(Ga)As/GaAs quantum dots coupled to single- and multi-mode ridge waveguides. We demonstrate the generation of highly linearly polarized resonance fluorescence photons with 99.1% (96.0%) single-photon purity and 97.5% (95.0%) indistinguishability in case of multi-mode (single-mode) waveguide devices fulfilling the strict requirements imposed by multi-interferometric quantum optics applications. Our integrated triggered single photon source can be readily scaled up, promising a realistic pathway for on-chip linear optical quantum simulation, quantum computation and quantum networks.

description: The Chinese central government has approved the seven pilot carbon trading schemes. These seven pilot regions are deliberately selected to be at varying stages of development and are given considerable leeway to design their own schemes. These pilot trading schemes have features in common, but vary considerably in their approach to issues such as the coverage of sectors, allocation of allowances, price uncertainty and market stabilization, potential market power of dominated players, use of offsets, and enforcement and compliance. This article explains why China opts for emissions trading, rather than carbon or environmental taxes at least initially, discusses the key common and varying features of these carbon trading pilots and their first-year performance, draws the lessons learned, discusses the potential pathways for evolution of regional pilot carbon trading schemes into a nationwide carbon trading scheme, and raises fundamental issues that must be addressed in order to make such an emissions trading scheme to work reliably and effectively and with an increasingly expanded coverage and scope.
Bootstrapping Structure using Similarity

description: In this paper a new similarity-based learning algorithm, inspired by string edit-distance (Wagner and Fischer, 1974), is applied to the problem of bootstrapping structure from scratch. The algorithm takes a corpus of unannotated sentences as input and returns a corpus of bracketed sentences. The method works on pairs of unstructured sentences or sentences partially bracketed by the algorithm that have one or more words in common. It finds parts of sentences that are interchangeable (i.e. the parts of the sentences that are different in both sentences). These parts are taken as possible constituents of the same type. While this corresponds to the basic bootstrapping step of the algorithm, further structure may be learned from comparison with other (similar) sentences. We used this method for bootstrapping structure from the flat sentences of the Penn Treebank ATIS corpus, and compared the resulting structured sentences to the structured sentences in the ATIS corpus. Similarly, the algorithm was tested on the OVIS corpus. We obtained 86.04 % non-crossing brackets precision on the ATIS corpus and 89.39 % non-crossing brackets precision on the OVIS corpus.
