description: Numerical simulations of the propagation of charged particles through magnetic fields solving the equation of motion often leads to the usage of an interpolation in case of discretely defined magnetic fields, typically given on a homogeneous grid structure. However, the interpolation method influences the magnetic field properties on the scales of the grid spacing and the choice of interpolation routine can therefore change the result. At the same time, it provides an impact, i.e.\ error, on the spatial particle distribution. We compare three different interpolation routines -- trilinear, tricubic and nearest neighbor interpolation -- in the case of turbulent magnetic fields and show that there is no benefit in using trilinear interpolation. We show that in comparison, the nearest neighbor interpolation provides the best performance, i.e.\ requires least CPU time and results in the smallest error. In addition, we optimize the performance of an algorithm that generates a continuous grid-less turbulent magnetic field by more than an order of magnitude. This continuous method becomes practicable for the simulation of large particle numbers and its accuracy is only limited by the used number of wave-modes. We show that by using more than 100 wave-modes the diffusive behavior of the spatial particle distribution in form of the diffusion coefficient is determined with an error less than a few percentage.

Inferring Human Pose and Motion from Images
Creators: name: Lu, Yifan
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2011
Subjects: Human Motion Tracking, Markerless Motion Capture

description: As optical gesture recognition technology advances, touchless human computer interfaces of the future will soon become a reality. One particular technology, markerless motion capture, has gained a large amount of attention, with widespread application in diverse disciplines, including medical science, sports analysis, advanced user interfaces, and virtual arts. However, the complexity of human anatomy makes markerless motion capture a non-trivial problem: I) parameterised pose configuration exhibits high dimensionality, and II) there is considerable ambiguity in surjective inverse mapping from observation to pose configuration spaces with a limited number of camera views. These factors together lead to multimodality in high dimensional space, making markerless motion capture an ill-posed problem. This study challenges these difficulties by introducing a new framework. It begins with automatically modelling specific subject template models and calibrating posture at the initial stage. Subsequent tracking is accomplished by embedding naturally-inspired global optimisation into the sequential Bayesian filtering framework. Tracking is enhanced by several robust evaluation improvements. Sparsity of images is managed by compressive evaluation, further accelerating computational efficiency in high dimensional space.

description: Il presente contributo vuole indagare il modo in cui viene concepita la competenza grammaticale nelle Prove INVALSI di Italiano. La grammatica ancora oggi nella prassi didattica risulta fortemente ancorata a una didattica tradizionale, configurandosi come l’anello debole dell’educazione linguistica, mentre la valutazione di sistema proposta dall’INVALSI muove verso un rinnovamento dell’approccio alla disciplina. Il contributo intende indagare la politica linguistica sottostante alle Prove, prendendo in analisi alcuni quesiti grammaticali delle Prove INVALSI della classe V della scuola primaria al fine di esplicitare la prospettiva linguistica sottesa, alla luce delle dichiarazioni presenti nei documenti normativi (Indicazioni Nazionali per il curricolo e Quadro di Riferimento delle Prove INVALSI di Italiano). Si compareranno i presupposti presentati dai documenti per comprendere l’evoluzione della politica linguistica nella più ampia considerazione della politica scolastica generale

description: Negotiation, as an essential and complicated aspect of online shopping, is still challenging for an intelligent agent. To that end, we propose the Price Negotiator, a modular deep neural network that addresses the unsolved problems in recent studies by (1) considering images of the items as a crucial, though neglected, source of information in a negotiation, (2) heuristically finding the most similar items from an external online source to predict the potential value and an acceptable agreement price, (3) predicting a general price-based action at each turn which is fed into the language generator to output the supporting natural language, and (4) adjusting the prices based on the predicted actions. Empirically, we show that our model, that is trained in both supervised and reinforcement learning setting, significantly improves negotiation on the CraigslistBargain dataset, in terms of the agreement price, price consistency, and dialogue quality.

description: The non-linear microwave surface impedance of patterned YBCO thin films, was measured using a suspended line resonator in the presence of a perpendicular DC magnetic field of magnitude comparable to that of the microwave field. Signature of the virgin state was found to be absent even for relatively low microwave power levels. The microwave loss was initially found to decrease for small applied DC field before increasing again. Also, non-linearities inherent in the sample were found to be substantially suppressed at low powers at these applied fields. These two features together can lead to significant improvement in device performance.

Development of rehabilitation plans for acid rock drainage control at two closed underground mines
Creators: name: Brodie, M. John
name: Chapman, John T.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Underground mines have long been recognized as sources of acid rock drainage (ARD). Point discharge of low pH and metal laden solutions occurs at portals and shafts. Rehabilitation is often required to mitigate the chronic long-term effects of ARD from underground mines. This paper presents the methodology used in the development of rehabilitation plans for ARD control for two closed underground mines in B.C., namely the Tulsequah Chief Mine and the Baker Mine. Factors that influence the rehabilitation options for a given site are discussed. A brief summary of the conditions observed at the two mine sites and the proposed rehabilitation plans are presented. Control of ARD from underground mines may be achieved by flooding the mine through the construction of concrete bulkheads. Key Words: acid drainage, site assessment, decommissioning, underground mine

description: In an infinite dimensional Hilbert space we consider a family of commuting analytic vector fields vanishing at the origin and which are nonlinear perturbations of some fundamental linear vector fields. We prove that one can construct by the method of Poincaré normal form a local analytic coordinate transformation near the origin transforming the family into a normal form. The result applies to the KdV and NLS equations and to the Toda lattice with periodic boundary conditions. One gets existence of Birkhoff coordinates in a neighbourhood of the origin. The proof is obtained by directly estimating, in an iterative way, the terms of the Poincaré normal form and of the transformation to it, through a rapid convergence algorithm.
Converting salvation : protestant missionaries in Central Australia, 1930s-40s

description: Using the intellectual, political and discursive ‘construction’ of Presbyterian mission site, Ernabella, in Central Australia during the 1930s and 40s, and against the background of the established and iconic Lutheran mission at Hermannsburg, missionary discourse on Indigenous Australians is examined, particularly the discourse in which significant Presbyterian missionary JRB Love and his fellow churchman Dr Charles Duguid participated. Discursive and political interactions between these two and missionaries such as FW Albrecht of Hermannsburg and John Flynn of the AIM are utilized to explore the fraught and fragmented nature of the missionary discourse in Central Australia in relation to issues such as rationing and feeding, curing indigenous illnesses, ‘half-castes’ and the removal of children, work and education issues, language and translation, and the christianization, conversion and ‘civilising of indigenous people. Missionary discourse and praxis is approached through a provocative reading of the French Jewish philosopher Emmanuel Levinas whose delineation of the face to face encounter with the other, where responsibility is taken for ‘men dispossessed and without food’, is posited as having some relevance and resonance to and within the mission site itself. While conflict, unequal power relations and paternalism were evident, the missionary discourse sharing traces of racial and cultural disparagement of Aborigines with a wider colonial/settler discourse, the general ‘avidity of the colonial gaze’ was diluted I the mission contact zone with traces of hospitality which at least to some extent replicated and reciprocated the politics of hospitality proffered to the missionaries by ‘their’ Aborigines. Central to this discourse of hospitality was the unorthodox preparedness of the Love/Duguid administration at Ernabella and (to a lesser, but surprising, extent) FW Albrecht’s regime at Hermannsburg, to ‘convert’ the notion of ‘salvation’ from one with mainly spiritual connotations to one more to do with the physical ‘saving’ of the indigenous body and the indigenous collective: saving bodies became as important, if not more so, than saving souls, the traditional missionary imperative. While some complicity with colonial, cultural and religious regimes for re-forming and re-making the indigenous body is acknowledged, some reassessment is suggested to postcolonial (or postmodern) readings of mission sites as always places predominantly of cultural destruction, domination and hegemony.

description: The article presents a bundle framework for nonlinear observer design on a manifold with a Lie group action. The group action on the manifold decomposes the manifold to a quotient structure and an orbit space, and the problem of observer design for the entire system gets decomposed to a design over the orbit (the group space) and a design over the quotient space. The emphasis throughout the article is on presenting an overarching geometric structure; the special case when the group action is free is given special emphasis. Gradient based observer design on a Lie group is given explicit attention. The concepts developed are illustrated by applying them on well known examples, which include the action of $\mathbb{SO}(3)$ on $\mathbb{R}^3 \setminus \{0\}$ and the simultaneous localisation and mapping (SLAM) problem.
Solitons in a Three-Wave System with Intrinsic Linear Mixing and Walkoff

description: A modification of the usual Type-II second-harmonic-generation model is proposed, which includes two additional features: linear conversion and walkoff (group-velocity difference) between two components of the fundamental-frequency (FF) wave. Physical interpretations of the model are possible in both temporal and spatial domains. In the absence of the intrinsic walkoff, the linear mixing makes real soliton solutions stable or unstable, depending on the relative sign of the two FF components. Unstable solitons spontaneously re-arrange themselves into stable ones. Fundamental solitons change their shape (in particular, they develop chirp) but remain stable if the intrinsic walkoff is included. In addition, quasi-stable double-humped solitary waves are found in the latter case.

description: A 3X3 latin square design experiment was used to study the effects of feeding high molybdenum (Mo) hay, from Highland Valley Copper, to three cannulated Hereford steers. Supplement treatments were; no supplement, copper oxide needles (CuOn) and copper oxide bolus. Feed intakes, mineral content of feed, dry matter and nutrient digestibilities, supplement disappearance from the rumen and copper (Cu) concentrations in the blood were monitored. Hay from Highland Valley Copper was high Cu (19.09 ppm), high Mo (49.68 ppm) feed. Severe cases of molybdenosis were expected but did not develop in cattle. Feeding harvested sun-cured high Mo forage lessens the hazard of molybdenosis. The Cu supplements had little or no effect on dry matter or nutrient digestibilities nor on rumen metabolism. Cu concentrations in the blood were increased. Research grazing fresh forage is required before making conclusive recommendations for using mine waste dumps and tailings ponds for forage production.
Being Ceduna : survival on the far west coast of South Australia

Subjects: Far West Coast, Nullarbor, ethnography, non-Indigenous people, land, landscape, belonging

description: This thesis is about survival in the Far West Coast town of Ceduna, South Australia. In particular, the idea of ‘being Ceduna’ is discussed in the context of the survival ethic which permeates, and forms a prevailing condition for, sociality in the town. I have aimed at producing a substantial ethnography about white people living in rural and remote South Australia which can be used as a basis for comparison with other culture. The work describes various classifications of person in Ceduna (ranging from old local, New locals, new person, newcomer and blow-in) and shows how the town’s survival ethic is promulgated through various forms of Ceduna Person. Issues relating to being Ceduna are tackled, for it is essential for a person to display particular behaviours to show their Cedunaness and that they contribute to the town’s survival ethic in specific ways. This can lead to acceptance which is essential to being Ceduna but comes with a flip-side: rejection. The importance of joining groups to being Ceduna is likewise described. Groups are seen to encourage survival because they force people to come together for the good of the community. The thesis also depicts and analyses Ceduna People’s ambivalent feelings towards their physical environment. In a way, the entire thesis leads towards the final chapter, wherein Ceduna People’s emotional responses to their country are drawn out. The relationship that Ceduna People have with their surrounds feeds into, and is fed by, the survival ethic, which then manifests itself in people’s love and respect for the landscape. On a more general level, the thesis attempts, through ethnographic descriptions and analysis, to supply a critique of occidentalised views of Western society as a whole, and of rural people in particular. It does this via discussions of, for instance, Ceduna People’s responses to individualism and landscape, demonstrating the conventional anthropological understandings of western sociality are very different from Ceduna’s ethnographic reality.

description: Reducing the power consumption of oil production wells is one of the important directions of oil industry development in the context of transition of many fields to the late stages of operation. At the same time, there is often a need to limit hydrocarbon production, which is often accomplished by shutting down wells completely. In this paper, the authors propose an approach to improve the energy efficiency of the electric centrifugal pump unit through the use of periodic operation mode, which allows to reduce the specific power consumption of the electric centrifugal pump unit. Also, this mode can be considered as a way to regulate the well flow rate. According to the results of calculations it was obtained that the reduction of specific power consumption of the unit when operating at nominal frequency can reach 5% relative to the continuous mode of operation. An assessment was made of the effect of reducing the frequency of the supply voltage in a periodic mode on the parameters of the operation of the installation and it was found that the well flow rate increased by 1.43% with a reduction in specific power consumption by 1.64%.

description: We revisit the volume Green's function integral equation for modelling light scattering with discretization strategies as well as numerical integration recipes borrowed from finite element method. The merits of introducing finite element techniques into Green's function integral equation are apparent. Firstly, the finite element discretization provides a much better geometric approximation of the scatters, compared with that of the conventional discretization method using staircase approximation. Secondly, the accuracy of numerical integral inside one element associated with all different types of Green's function integral equations can be greatly improved by introducing quadrature rules. Within the standard framework of Green's function integral equation, we seamlessly introduce finite element techniques into the Green's function integral equation by introducing the auxiliary variables that confines the singular integrand inside each element, leading to a better and more flexible approximation of the geometry of the scatters and a more accurate numerical integral. We then illustrate the advantages of our finite element based Green's function integral equation method via a few concrete examples in modelling light scattering by optically large and complex scatters.

description: Hypertension (HTN) is highly prevalent globally among low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). By 2020, cardiovascular disease (CVD) deaths related to HTN in LMICs are projected to increase by 75%. HTN control in LMICs is hindered by an acute shortage of physicians, limited diagnostic medical equipment, and a dearth of disease management resources. Despite the increasing prevalence of HTN in LMICs, scalable, evidence-based interventions to reduce morbidity and mortality attributed to HTN are rarely applied in these settings. The TAsk-Shifting Strategy for Hypertension (TASSH), a 5-year cluster-randomized controlled trial that has been implemented in community health centers in the Ashanti region of Ghana, is an evidence-based example of a scalable intervention strategy for LMICs that can effectively control HTN. The aims of this study were to: (a) conduct a systematic review of interventions for HTN control implemented in LMICs and assess the effect on blood pressure control as demonstrated in RCTs that stated “scale-up”; (b) identify the WHO/ExpandNet scale-up components (i.e., Inputs, Outputs, Outcomes, Impact, Cost effectiveness, Equity, Embedded within current health organization policy, Monitoring and evaluation, Sustainability); and (c) investigate the community health nurse stakeholders’ (n = 27) perceptions of the evidence-based TASSH cluster-randomized controlled trial in Ghana. Twenty-nine randomized-controlled trials describing potentially scalable HTN control intervention strategies and WHO/ExpandNet components were identified. Studies reported clinically significant differences in blood pressure, with 16 studies reporting statistically significant mean differences in BP (p < 0.05). Multicomponent interventions, including drug therapy and health education, provided the most benefit to participants. However, there was limited reporting on translation into existing institutional policy, cost effectiveness, stakeholder engagement, and sustainability. Patient goal setting, leadership engagement, and availability of resources, all of which were mentioned by TASSH nurses as important for successful implementation and eventual TASSH scale-up, emerged as major themes. LMICs need context-specific metrics and indicators to effectively evaluate and standardize the reporting of scale-up components and processes. In addition, infrastructure development, including capacity building at the individual, institutional, and systems levels, as well as stakeholder engagement (i.e., leadership), are necessary to address HTN-related morbidity and mortality and other diseases.

description: A phylogenetic tree is a graphical representation of an evolutionary history of taxa in which the leaves correspond to the taxa and the non-leaves correspond to speciations. One of important problems in phylogenetic analysis is to assemble a global phylogenetic tree from small phylogenetic trees, particularly, quartet trees. {\sc Quartet Compatibility} is the problem of deciding whether there is a phylogenetic tree inducing a given collection of quartet trees, and to construct such a phylogenetic tree if it exists. It is known that {\sc Quartet Compatibility} is NP-hard and that there are only a few results known for polynomial-time solvable subclasses. In this paper, we introduce two novel classes of quartet systems, called complete multipartite quartet system and full multipartite quartet system, and present polynomial-time algorithms for {\sc Quartet Compatibility} for these systems.

description: The vortex contribution to the dc field (H) dependent microwave surface impedance Z_s = R_s+iX_s of YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x} thin films was measured using suspended patterned resonators. Z_s(H) is shown to be a direct measure of the flux density B(H) enabling a very precise test of models of flux penetration. Three regimes of field-dependent behavior were observed: (1) Initial flux penetration occurs on very low field scales H_i(4.2K) 100Oe, (2) At moderate fields the flux penetration into the virgin state is in excellent agreement with calculations based upon the field-induced Bean critical state for thin film geometry, parametrized by a field scale H_s(4.2K) J_c*d 0.5T, (3) for very high fields H >>H_s, the flux density is uniform and the measurements enable direct determination of vortex parameters such as pinning force constants α_p and vortex viscosity η. However hysteresis loops are in disagreement with the thin film Bean model, and instead are governed by the low field scale H_i, rather than by H_s. Geometric barriers are insufficient to account for the observed results.

description: We revisit and generalize our previous algebraic construction of the chiral effective action for Conformal Field Theory on higher genus Riemann surfaces. We show that the action functional can be obtained by evaluating a certain Deligne cohomology class over the fundamental class of the underlying topological surface. This Deligne class is constructed by applying a descent procedure with respect to a Čech resolution of any covering map of a Riemann surface. Detailed calculations are presented in the two cases of an ordinary Čech cover, and of the universal covering map, which was used in our previous approach. We also establish a dictionary that allows to use the same formalism for different covering morphisms. The Deligne cohomology class we obtain depends on a point in the Earle-Eells fibration over the Teichmüller space, and on a smooth coboundary for the Schwarzian cocycle associated to the base-point Riemann surface. From it, we obtain a variational characterization of Hubbard's universal family of projective structures, showing that the locus of critical points for the chiral action under fiberwise variation along the Earle-Eells fibration is naturally identified with the universal projective structure.

description: Competition and collaboration are at the heart of multi-agent probabilistic spreading processes. The battle on public opinion and competitive marketing campaigns are typical examples of the former, while the joint spread of multiple diseases such as HIV and tuberculosis demonstrates the latter. These spreads are influenced by the underlying network topology, the infection rates between network constituents, recovery rates and, equally importantly, the interactions between the spreading processes themselves. Here, for the first time we derive dynamic message-passing equations that provide an exact description of the dynamics of two interacting spreading processes on tree graphs, and develop systematic low-complexity models that predict the spread on general graphs. We also develop a theoretical framework for an optimal control of interacting spreading processes through an optimized resource allocation under budget constraints and within a finite time window. Derived algorithms can be used to maximize the desired spread in the presence of a rival competitive process, and to limit the spread through vaccination in the case of coupled infectious diseases. We demonstrate the efficacy of the framework and optimization method on both synthetic and real-world networks.

description: At present, global energy conflicts are prominent and the world’s attention is focused on energy security. In order to evaluate the reserves and production capacity of the shale gas, which is a special fossil energy source, the study proposes a reserve and production capacity evaluation design for its reservoirs based on Arps decrement. The study intersects the material balance method and Arps reconciliation decrement method to achieve the evaluation of shale gas reservoir reserves. The shale gas reservoir production capacity was calculated using Integrated Geostatistical and Geomechanical Modeling (IGIG) based on Genliang Guo’s fractured horizontal wells, and Effective Fracture Radius (EFR) formula based on large capsule-shaped flow zones. Experimental data showed that the capacity evaluation method based on the binomial dynamic coefficient inverse calculation of formation pressure can calculate the current unobstructed flow rate and allotted production rate to provide data support for the extraction of shale gas reservoirs.

description: We propose an operator preconditioner for general elliptic pseudodifferential equations in a domain $Ω$, where $Ω$ is either in $\mathbb{R}^n$ or in a Riemannian manifold. For linear systems of equations arising from low-order Galerkin discretizations, we obtain condition numbers that are independent of the mesh size and of the choice of bases for test and trial functions. The basic ingredient is a classical formula by Boggio for the fractional Laplacian, which is extended analytically. In the special case of the weakly and hypersingular operators on a line segment or a screen, our approach gives a unified, independent proof for a series of recent results by Hiptmair, Jerez-Hanckes, Nédélec and Urzúa-Torres. We also study the increasing relevance of the regularity assumptions on the mesh with the order of the operator. Numerical examples validate our theoretical findings and illustrate the performance of the proposed preconditioner on quasi-uniform, graded and adaptively generated meshes.

description: We investigate the possible regular solutions of the boundary Yang-Baxter equation for the vertex models associated with the $A_{n-1}^{(1)}$ affine Lie algebra. We have classified them in two classes of solutions. The first class consists of $n(n-1)/2$ K-matrix solutions with three free parameters. The second class are solutions that depend on the parity of $n$. For $n$ odd there exist $n$ reflection matrices with $2+[n/2]$ free parameters. It turns out that for $n$ even there exist $n/2$ K-matrices with $2+n/2$ free parameters and $n/2$ K-matrices with $1+n/2$ free parameters.

Density of States and NMR Relaxation Rate in Anisotropic Superconductivity with Intersecting Line Nodes

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: We show that the density of states in an anisotropic superconductor with intersecting line nodes in the gap function is proportional to $E log (αΔ_0 /E)$ for $|E| << Δ_0$, where $Δ_0$ is the maximum value of the gap function and $α$ is constant, while it is proportional to $E$ if the line nodes do not intersect. As a result, a logarithmic correction appears in the temperature dependence of the NMR relaxation rate and the specific heat, which can be observed experimentally. By comparing with those for the heavy fermion superconductors, we can obtain information about the symmetry of the gap function.
