description: We propose a hybrid method for stereo disparity estimation by combining block and region-based stereo matching approaches. It generates dense depth maps from disparity measurements of only 18 % image pixels (left or right). The methodology involves segmenting pixel lightness values using fast K-Means implementation, refining segment boundaries using morphological filtering and connected components analysis; then determining boundaries' disparities using sum of absolute differences (SAD) cost function. Complete disparity maps are reconstructed from boundaries' disparities. We consider an application of our method for depth-based selective blurring of non-interest regions of stereo images, using Gaussian blur to de-focus users' non-interest regions. Experiments on Middlebury dataset demonstrate that our method outperforms traditional disparity estimation approaches using SAD and normalized cross correlation by up to 33.6 % and some recent methods by up to 6.1 %. Further, our method is highly parallelizable using CPU and GPU framework based on Java Thread Pool and APARAPI with speed-up of 5.8 for 250 stereo video frames (4,096 x 2,304).

description: Cosmology education has become an integral part of modern physics courses. Directed by National Curricula, major UK examination boards have developed syllabi that contain explicit statements about the model of the Big Bang and the strong observational evidence that supports it. This work examines the similarities and differences in these specifications, addresses when cosmology could be taught within a physics course, what should be included in this teaching and in what sequence it should be taught at different levels.

It takes a village: strengthening data management through collaboration with diverse institutional offices
Creators: name: Mohr, Alicia Hofelich

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2014

description: Successful data management involves actions throughout the entire research lifecycle, but often providers of data management services directly interact with researchers only at isolated points in their study. This is a challenge for service providers when trying to help researchers integrate best practices into their workflow, as much of this work takes place in their own offices, labs, or with the help of other specialized support services on campus. Therefore, an important part of promoting data management on campus is to make specialized institutional support offices aware of the impact their services can have on the management of research data. This paper will describe efforts at a large, decentralized, mid-western American university to promote data management practices and awareness by reaching out to offices across campus, including those involved in grants consulting, human subjects protection, data security, survey services, statistical consulting, and technology commercialization. From the perspective of a unit specializing in direct research support, we will also discuss specific ways in which our office is integrating data management into our services. We suggest similar offices at other universities may be overlooked but important allies of libraries in promoting data management practices.
Limits on $T_{RH}$ for thermal leptogenesis with hierarchical neutrino masses

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We make a simple observation that if one of the right-chiral neutrinos is very heavy or its Yukawa couplings to the standard lepton doublets are negligible, so that it effectively decouples from the see-saw mechanism, the prediction for the baryon asymmetry of the Universe resulting from leptogenesis depends, apart from the masses $M_1$ and $M_2$ of the remaining two right-chiral neutrinos, only on the element $\YY{22}$ of the neutrino Yukawa coupling. For $M_2\simgt10M_1$ the lower bound on $M_1$ and also on $T_{\rm reh}$, resulting from the requirement of 'successful leptogenesis' is then significantly increased compared to the one computed recently by Buchmüller {\it et al.} in the most general case. Within the framework of thermal leptogenesis, the only way to lower this limit is then to allow for sufficiently small mass difference $M_2-M_1$.

description: We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of partitions of $n$ into distinct parts where the largest part is at most $t\sqrt{n}$ for fixed $t \in \mathbb{R}$. Our method follows a probabilistic approach of Romik, who gave a simpler proof of Szekeres' asymptotic formula for distinct parts partitions when instead the number of parts is bounded by $t\sqrt{n}$. Although equivalent to a circle method/saddle-point method calculation, the probabilistic approach predicts the shape of the asymptotic formula, to some degree.
Working with data across the humanitites and creative arts: the Humanities Networked Infrastructure (HuNi)

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2014

description: The Humanities Networked Infrastructure (HuNI) is one of the national "Virtual Laboratories" which have been developed as part of the Australian government's National e-Research Collaboration Tools and Resources program. Their aim is to integrate existing capabilities (tools, data and resources), support data-centered workflows, and build virtual communities to address well-defined research problems. HuNI is being developed by a consortium of thirteen institutions, led by Deakin University. It aggregates heterogeneous data from thirty different datasets which have been developed by academic research groups and collecting institutions (libraries, archives, museums and galleries) across the full range of humanities disciplines. The datasets include Design and Art Australia Online, the Australian Dictionary of Biography, AustLit, AusStage, the Dictionary of Sydney, the PARADISEC linguistics archive, and the AUSTLang database. Incoming records are mapped to a common data model, but not merged, while their provenance and distinctive content are retained. HuNI also provides tools for working with the aggregated data. These include tools for data linkage, visualization, and annotation developed at the University of Queensland through the LORE project, and tools for creating and uploading new datasets for aggregation (using the Heurist package developed at the University of Sydney).

description: Since Princess Leia pronounced those words in the form of a hologram, the Clone Wars were one of the great mysteries of the Star Wars fictional universe. They were part of Jedi’s narrative and mythology but in a canonical way there was only a great narrative gap. This situation was conditioned by the refusal of Lucasfilm to be treated in the old Expanded. Given that the last installment of the prequel trilogy had as its main attraction the conversion of Anakin Skywalker into the fearsome Darth Vader, and with this the end of the Clone Wars; Lucasfilm planned to make an animation series between Episode II and Episode III.

Clone Wars (Cartoon Network, 2003-2005) by Genndy Tartakowsky is an unusual Star Wars TV show, it works as a midquel, more specifically as an interquel. The events narrated in the series would have a direct impact on the official canon of the saga, aspects such as the deterioration of the relationship between Obi Wan and Anakin, the change of appearance of the latter, the incorporation of new characters, or the direct connection between the last chapter of the series and the first minutes of Episode III. Although the political question is left aside, the narrative fact of this warlike conflict consists in a new year zero in the construction of the world just as the Battle of Yavin was.

Through this chapter we will analyze the media context in which the series was premiered, the creative process that seeks to function within a canonical setting, both the old and the current one; and show the transmedia strategies used in this midquel to function in a universe with a very closed chronology.

description: Translating human intent into robot commands is crucial for the future of service robots in an aging society. Existing Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) systems relying on gestures or verbal commands are impractical for the elderly due to difficulties with complex syntax or sign language. To address the challenge, this paper introduces a multi-modal interaction framework that combines voice and deictic posture information to create a more natural HRI system. The visual cues are first processed by the object detection model to gain a global understanding of the environment, and then bounding boxes are estimated based on depth information. By using a large language model (LLM) with voice-to-text commands and temporally aligned selected bounding boxes, robot action sequences can be generated, while key control syntax constraints are applied to avoid potential LLM hallucination issues. The system is evaluated on real-world tasks with varying levels of complexity using a Universal Robots UR3e manipulator. Our method demonstrates significantly better performance in HRI in terms of accuracy and robustness. To benefit the research community and the general public, we will make our code and design open-source.

description: The problem of the estimation of multiple phases (or of commuting unitaries) is considered. This is a sub-model of the estimation of a completely unknown unitary operation where it has been shown in recent works that there are considerable improvements by using entangled input states and entangled measurements. Here it is shown that when estimating commuting unitaries, there is practically no advantage in using entangled input states or entangled measurements.

Linking thesauri: ELSST as a hub for social science data terms
Creators: name: Balkan, Lorna
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2014

description: Without controlled index terms, data retrieval within a data catalogue becomes at best hit and miss. The UK Data Archive manages two thesauri: the multilingual ELSST thesaurus, and the monolingual HASSET thesaurus, from which it is derived. Over the last year, through funding from the UK's ESRC, the Archive has developed both of these thesauri, plus their management applications, and created linkages between them. Extending ISO 25964, the UKDA has developed a way of mapping its social science thesauri to facilitate cross-national data retrieval. It has also created SKOS formats and is developing a new and innovative application for thesaurus management which combines term visualisation with tree structures. The two thesauri now share a clearly defined, common set of core concepts, but have room for divergence. The new application will allow terms to be promoted to the core set, where they exhibit partial or exact equivalence, or be demoted to 'non-core'. The application allows authorised language equivalents to be added to ELSST terms. Bundled suggestions will also be made for changes to the thesaurus terms or structure, linked to the tree structure. This paper describes the new application and the processes used within the UKDA for thesaurus management.

description: This paper proposes an innovative object detector by leveraging deep features learned in high-level layers. Compared with features produced in earlier layers, the deep features are better at expressing semantic and contextual information. The proposed deep feature learning scheme shifts the focus from concrete features with details to abstract ones with semantic information. It considers not only individual objects and local contexts but also their relationships by building a multi-scale deep feature learning network (MDFN). MDFN efficiently detects the objects by introducing information square and cubic inception modules into the high-level layers, which employs parameter-sharing to enhance the computational efficiency. MDFN provides a multi-scale object detector by integrating multi-box, multi-scale and multi-level technologies. Although MDFN employs a simple framework with a relatively small base network (VGG-16), it achieves better or competitive detection results than those with a macro hierarchical structure that is either very deep or very wide for stronger ability of feature extraction. The proposed technique is evaluated extensively on KITTI, PASCAL VOC, and COCO datasets, which achieves the best results on KITTI and leading performance on PASCAL VOC and COCO. This study reveals that deep features provide prominent semantic information and a variety of contextual contents, which contribute to its superior performance in detecting small or occluded objects. In addition, the MDFN model is computationally efficient, making a good trade-off between the accuracy and speed.

description: Optical afterglows from two-component jets under various configurations are investigated numerically. Generally, the light curve is characterized by a rapid rebrightening when the observer is off-axis with respect to the narrow component, with the amplitude and peak time depending on detailed parameters. We further show that the optical afterglow of XRF 030723, especially its notable and rapid rebrightening, can be well explained by a typical two-component jet. This X-ray flash, together with GRB 030329, strongly hints the two-component jet model as a unified picture for X-ray flashes and gamma-ray bursts. With a narrow but ultra-relativistic inner outflow and a wide but less energetic outer ejecta, a two-component jet will be observed as a typical gamma-ray burst if our line of sight is within the angular scope of the narrow outflow. Otherwise, if the line of sight is within or slightly beyond the cone of the wide component, an X-ray flash will be detected.

description: This paper describes the security weakness of a recently proposed improved chaotic encryption method based on the modulation of a signal generated by a chaotic system with an appropriately chosen scalar signal. The aim of the improvement is to avoid the breaking of chaotic encryption schemes by means of the return map attack introduced by Perez and Cerdeira. A method of attack based on taking the absolute value of the ciphertext is presented, that allows for the cancellation of the modulation scalar signal and the determination of some system parameters that play the role of system key. The proposed improved method is shown to be compromised without any knowledge of the chaotic system parameter values and even without knowing the transmitter structure.

description: Various recent Artificial Intelligence (AI) system failures, some of which have made the global headlines, have highlighted issues in these systems. These failures have resulted in calls for more ethical AI systems that better take into account their effects on various stakeholders. However, implementing AI ethics into practice is still an on-going challenge. High-level guidelines for doing so exist, devised by governments and private organizations alike, but lack practicality for developers. To address this issue, in this paper, we present a method for implementing AI ethics. The method, ECCOLA, has been iteratively developed using a cyclical action design research approach. The method aims at making the high-level AI ethics principles more practical, making it possible for developers to more easily implement them in practice.

description: Accurately characterizing the intensity and duration of strong-field femtosecond pulses within the interaction volume is crucial for attosecond science. However, this remains a major bottleneck, limiting accuracy of the strong-field, and in particular, high harmonic generation experiments. We present a novel scheme for the in situ measurement and control of spatially resolved strong-field femtosecond pulse intensity and duration within the interaction focal region. Our approach combines conjugate focal imaging with in situ ion measurements using gas densities pertinent to attosecond science experiments. Independent measurements in helium and argon, accompanied by a fitting to a strong field ionization dynamic model, yield accurate and consistent results across a wide range of gas densities and underscores the significance of double ionization, as well as barrier suppression ionization. Direct spatially resolved characterization of the driving laser is a critical step towards resolving the averaging problem in the interaction volume, paving the way for more accurate and reliable attosecond experiments.

description: We construct a relativistic $^3P_0$ wavefunction for scalar mesons within the framework of light-front quark model(LFQM). This scalar wavefunction is used to perform relativistic calculations of absolute widths for the radiative decay processes$(0^{++})\toγγ,(0^{++})\toϕγ$, and $(0^{++})\toργ$ which incorporate the effects of glueball-$q\bar{q}$ mixing. The mixed physical states are assumed to be $f_0(1370),f_0(1500)$,and $f_0(1710)$ for which the flavor-glue content is taken from the mixing calculations of other works. Since experimental data for these processes are poor, our results are compared with those of a recent non-relativistic model calculation. We find that while the relativistic corrections introduced by the LFQM reduce the magnitudes of the decay widths by 50-70%, the relative strengths between different decay processes are fairly well preserved. We also calculate decay widths for the processes $ϕ\to(0^{++})γ$ and $(0^{++})\toγ\gamm$ involving the light scalars $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ to test the simple $q\bar{q}$ model of these mesons. Our results of $q\bar{q}$ model for these processes are not quite consistent with well-established data, further supporting the idea that $f_0(980)$ and $a_0(980)$ are not conventional $q\bar{q}$ states.

description: The fate of strong cosmic censorship is ultimately linked to the extendibility of perturbation across the Cauchy Horizon and known to be violated in the near extremal region of a charged de Sitter black hole. Similar violations can also be realized in higher curvature theories, with the strength of violation becoming stronger as compared to general relativity. In this work, we extend this analysis further to study the validity of strong cosmic censorship conjecture in the context of the regularised four-dimensional Einstein Gauss-Bonnet theory with respect to both scalar and electromagnetic perturbation. We also study the late time tails of scalar fields.

description: Let G be a Lie groupoid with Lie algebroid g. It is known that, unlike in the case of Lie groups, not every subalgebroid of g can be integrated by a subgroupoid of G. In this paper we study conditions on the invariant foliation defined by a given subalgebroid under which such an integration is possible. We also consider the problem of integrability by closed subgroupoids, and we give conditions under which the closure of a subgroupoid is again a subgroupoid.
Imperative images : the use of images of the foetus in the Australian abortion debate, 1998-2009

subject: Visual communication Australia

description: This thesis examines the use of images of the foetus in the abortion debate, in Australia over the last decade. It begins by reviewing existing literature on abortion in Australia and the emergence internationally of a small body of feminist critique of foetal images. It then catalogues common images and campaign materials used in pro-life campaigning in Australia and builds on existing feminist critiques of such images. It focuses on three cases studies: the Osborne bill in the ACT; Protect Life sit-ins in Brisbane; and the Tell the Truth campaign in Victoria. These cases encompass the breadth ofpro-life practices and materials across different jurisdictions. Thus, this thesis presents a detailed record of the contemporary visual culture of Australian pro-life politics. I identify three major themes which are represented in pro-life images of the foetus: the wonder of life; the human form and human frailty of the foetus; and the barbarity of modern society. These messages depend on a worldview which combines aspects of religious thought and scientific knowledge. Images of the foetus provide evidence of its substance and enable its social embodiment. Yet they also emphasise the fragility and the vulnerability of the foetus, and invite the empathy of the viewer. Indeed, images of aborted foetuses prompt a visceral reaction and thus demand empathy. This empathy is fundamental to the intersubjective connection created between the foetus and the viewer, and, in turn, that intersubjectivity demonstrates the moral significance of the foetus for the pro-life viewer. The meanings of images of the foetus are built on our parallel understandings of sight and feeling as immediate and unmediated. Emotion is a powerful element of politics, and images of the foetus challenge the emotion, and hence the humanity, of the viewer.

description: Although he was the recipient of a Nobel Prize and despite the greatness of his accomplishments, Julian Schwinger is almost an unsung hero of our age . He is relatively unknown to the general population, even though in the physics community he was a renowned theoretician and teacher of physics. He shared the 1965 Nobel Prize in physics with Richard P. Feynman and Shin'ichiro Tomonaga for their development of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED). Of these three extraordinary physicists, and even of all the physicists that worked on QED, his work was the most rigorous and mathematically exacting.

description: In this work, we present a novel and practical method for generating optical vortices in high-power laser systems. Off-axis spiral phase mirrors are used at oblique angles of incidence in the beam path after amplification and compression allowing for the generation of high-power optical vortices in almost any laser system. An off-axis configuration is possible via modification of the azimuthal gradient of the spiral phase helix and is demonstrated with a simple model using a discrete spiral staircase. This work presents the design, fabrication, and implementation of off-axis spiral phase mirrors in both low and high-power laser systems.

description: We quantify the extent to which extra relativistic energy density can be concealed by a neutrino asymmetry without conflicting with the baryon asymmetry measured by the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP). In the presence of a large electron neutrino asymmetry, slightly more than seven effective neutrinos are allowed by Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN) and WMAP at 2σ. The same electron neutrino degeneracy that reconciles the BBN prediction for the primordial helium abundance with the observationally inferred value also reconciles the LSND neutrino with BBN by suppressing its thermalization prior to BBN.

On sequential versions of distributional topological complexity

description: We define a (non-decreasing) sequence $\{\mathsf{dTC}_m(X)\}_{m\ge 2}$ of higher versions of distributional topological complexity ($\mathsf{dTC}$) of a space $X$ introduced by Dranishnikov and Jauhari. This sequence generalizes $\mathsf{dTC}(X)$ in the sense that $\mathsf{dTC}_2(X) = \mathsf{dTC}(X)$, and is a direct analog to the classical sequence $\{\mathsf{TC}_m(X)\}_{m\ge 2}$. We show that like $\mathsf{TC}_m$ and $\mathsf{dTC}$, the sequential versions $\mathsf{dTC}_m$ are also homotopy invariants. Also, $\mathsf{dTC}_m(X)$ relates with the distributional LS-category ($\mathsf{dcat}$) of products of $X$ in the same way as $\mathsf{TC}_m(X)$ relates with the classical LS-category ($\mathsf{cat}$) of products of $X$. On one hand, we show that in general, $\mathsf{dTC}_m$ is a different concept than $\mathsf{TC}_m$ for each $m \ge 2$. On the other hand, by finding sharp cohomological lower bounds to $\mathsf{dTC}_m(X)$, we provide various examples of closed manifolds $X$ for which the sequences $\{\mathsf{TC}_m(X)\}_{m\ge 2}$ and $\{\mathsf{dTC}_m(X)\}_{m\ge 2}$ coincide.

Ideal type-II Weyl phase and topological transition in phononic crystals

description: Ideal Weyl points, which are related by symmetry and thus reside at the same frequency, could promote the deep development and utilization of the Weyl physics. Although the ideal type-I Weyl points have been achieved in photonic crystals, the ideal type-II Weyl points with tilted cone-like band dispersions, are still beyond discovery. Here we realize ideal type-II Weyl points of minimal number in three-dimensional layer-stacked phononic crystals, and demonstrate topological phase transition from Weyl semimetal to valley insulators of two distinct types. The Fermi-arc surface states exist on the interface of the Weyl and valley phases, while the Fermi-circle ones occur on that of the two distinct valley phases. We show the interesting wave partition of Fermi-circle surface states on the interfaces formed by distinct valley phases.
