description: In Second Life, the body is both created and performed. In some ways, Second Life identities are even more telling than offline identities, given that all elements are defined by the user. This study investigates three intersecting elements of selfhood in Second Life: first, the differences (or lack thereof) between constructions of identity in Second Life and actual life; second, the ways in which users express a gendered self in a realm where everything, even gender and genitalia, is infinitely mutable; third, whether Second Life's virtual body allows participants to move away from restrictive notions of gender, or reinforces a narrow conception of gender that is grounded in the body. Using interview data, content analysis, and participant observation, this thesis concludes that Second Life simultaneously reifies gendered bodily ideals while allowing individuals to explore their own gender and sexuality within these ideals. Gendered body norms are further narrowed by an environment where bodies are constructed by individuals invoking the cultural meanings of appearance.

description: Analysis and description of the timbral characteristics of percussion instruments has been verbally transmitted from teacher to student for generations. Percussion educators use this vocabulary to indicate their desired sound, which determines the instrument selection of their students and peers in solo, chamber, and ensemble settings. Unfortunately, this vocabulary often fails to coherently translate to young percussion students as well as composers and educators with no prior percussion training. This dissertation will explore the timbral possibilities of three unpitched metallic instruments that frequently appear in the percussion repertoire: tambourines, triangles, and crash cymbals.The analysis synchronizes three forms of methodologies: spectrogram analysis, binary oppositions, and timbral semantics. The methodology is then applied to musical examples, which I term guided orchestration and open orchestration. Here, we will be able to select the instruments that are the most timbrally appropriate for each individual musical settings such as large ensemble, chamber, and solo works, thus forming timbral continuity in the formation of auditory streams in orchestral layers. We will then be able to conceptualize the terms utilized in the percussion community to describe the available sounds on these instruments.

description: In this note, we give a quantum algorithm that finds collisions in arbitrary r-to-one functions after only O((N/r)^(1/3)) expected evaluations of the function. Assuming the function is given by a black box, this is more efficient than the best possible classical algorithm, even allowing probabilism. We also give a similar algorithm for finding claws in pairs of functions. Furthermore, we exhibit a space-time tradeoff for our technique. Our approach uses Grover's quantum searching algorithm in a novel way.

description: We study the force of light on a two-level atom near an ultrathin optical fiber using the mode function method and the Green tensor technique. We show that the total force consists of the driving-field force, the spontaneous-emission recoil force, and the fiber-induced van der Waals potential force. Due to the existence of a nonzero axial component of the field in a guided mode, the Rabi frequency and, hence, the magnitude of the force of the guided driving field may depend on the propagation direction. When the atomic dipole rotates in the meridional plane, the spontaneous-emission recoil force may arise as a result of the asymmetric spontaneous emission with respect to opposite propagation directions. The van der Waals potential for the atom in the ground state is off-resonant and opposite to the off-resonant part of the van der Waals potential for the atom in the excited state. Unlike the potential for the ground state, the potential for the excited state may oscillate depending on the distance from the atom to the fiber surface.

description: In this work, we experimentally study the optical kerr nonlinearities of graphene/Si hybrid waveguides with enhanced self-phase modulation. In the case of CMOS compatible materials for nonlinear optical signal processing, Si and silicon nitride waveguides have been extensively investigated over the past decade. However, Si waveguides exhibit strong two-photon absorption (TPA) at telecommunication wavelengths, which lead to a significant reduction of nonlinear figure of merit. In contrast, silicon nitride based material system usually suppress the TPA, but simultaneously leads to the reduction of the Kerr nonlinearity by two orders of magnitude. Here, we introduce a graphene/Si hybrid waveguide, which remain the optical properties and CMOS compatibility of Si waveguides, while enhance the Kerr nonlinearity by transferring patterned graphene over the top of the waveguides. The graphene/Si waveguides are measured with a nonlinear parameter of 510 W-1m-1. Enhanced nonlinear figure-of-merit (FOM) of 2.48 has been achieved, which is three times higher than that of the Si waveguide. This work reveals the potential application of graphene/Si hybrid photonic waveguides with high Kerr nonlinearity and FOM for nonlinear all-optical signal processing.

description: Lithium niobate(LN) microresonator is a key component in photonic integrated circuits. An intriguing phenomenon was observed that the quality factor for specific modes of the resonator can be further improved by femtosecond laser irradiation. The high repetition laser pulses scatters into the cavity by forming a defect on the surface and is confined in the edge. A localized coupled laser refining process will then repair the lattice disorders and tiny burrs on the periphery. The intrinsic quality factor of a measured mode can be promoted from 2.17$\times$10$^5$ to 1.84$\times$10$^6$ indicating one order of magnitude improvement. This highly controllable method has its own unique advantages in improving the quality of an integrated resonator which opens new prospects for single component engineering of LN photonic integrated circuits.

description: Recent theoretical results have demonstrated that non-commutative geometries naturally appear within the context of string/M-theory. One consequence of this possibility is that QED takes on a non-abelian nature due to the introduction of 3- and 4-point functions. In addition, each QED vertex acquires a momentum dependent phase factor. We parameterize the effects of non-commutative space-time co-ordinates and show that they lead to observable signatures in several $2\to 2$ QED processes in $e^+e^-$ collisions. In particular, we examine pair annihilation, Moller and Bhabha scattering, as well as $γγ\toγγ$ scattering and show that non-commutative scales of order a TeV can be probed at high energy linear colliders.

description: Photoplethysmographic (PPG) measurements are susceptible to motion artifacts (MA) due to movement of the peripheral body parts. In this paper, we present a new approach to identify the MA corrupted PPG beats and then rectify the beat morphology using artificial neural network (ANN). Initially, beat quality assessment was done to identify the clean PPG beats by a pre-trained feedback ANN to generate a reference beat template for each person. The PPG data was decomposed using principal component analysis (PCA) and reconstructed using fixed energy retention. A weight coefficient was assigned for each PPG samples in such a way that when they are multiplied , the modified beat morphology matches the reference template. A particle swarm optimization (PSO) based technique was utilized to select the best weight weight vector coefficients to tune another feedback ANN, fed with a set of significant features generated by an auto encoder from PCA reconstructed data. For real time implementation, this pre-trained ANN was operated in feed-forward mode to directly generate the weight vectors for any subsequent measurements of PPG. The method was validated with PPG data collected from 55 human subjects. An average RMSE of 0.28 and SNR improvement of 14.54 dB was obtained, with an average improvement of 36% and 47% measurement accuracy on crest time and systolic to diastolic peak height ratio respectively. With IEEE Signal Processing Cup 2015 Challenge database, Pearson's correlation coefficient between PPG estimated and ECG derived heart rate was 0.990. The proposed method can be useful for personal health monitoring applications.

description: Deep convolutional networks (CNN) can achieve impressive results on RGB scene recognition thanks to large datasets such as Places. In contrast, RGB-D scene recognition is still underdeveloped in comparison, due to two limitations of RGB-D data we address in this paper. The first limitation is the lack of depth data for training deep learning models. Rather than fine tuning or transferring RGB-specific features, we address this limitation by proposing an architecture and a two-step training approach that directly learns effective depth-specific features using weak supervision via patches. The resulting RGB-D model also benefits from more complementary multimodal features. Another limitation is the short range of depth sensors (typically 0.5m to 5.5m), resulting in depth images not capturing distant objects in the scenes that RGB images can. We show that this limitation can be addressed by using RGB-D videos, where more comprehensive depth information is accumulated as the camera travels across the scene. Focusing on this scenario, we introduce the ISIA RGB-D video dataset to evaluate RGB-D scene recognition with videos. Our video recognition architecture combines convolutional and recurrent neural networks (RNNs) that are trained in three steps with increasingly complex data to learn effective features (i.e. patches, frames and sequences). Our approach obtains state-of-the-art performances on RGB-D image (NYUD2 and SUN RGB-D) and video (ISIA RGB-D) scene recognition.

This description enables intuitive understanding of the loss of contrast and asymmetry of Ramsey spectra. We derive a quantitative relationship between the asymmetry and atomic interaction parameters, which enables their characterization without changing atom density. The model is confirmed through experiments with a Yb optical lattice clock.

description: Extracting parton distribution functions (PDFs) from lattice QCD calculation of quasi-PDFs has been actively pursued in recent years. We extend our proof of the multiplicative renormalizability of quasi-quark operators in Ref. [1] to quasi-gluon operators, and demonstrated that quasi-gluon operators could be multiplicatively renormalized to all orders in perturbation theory, without mixing with other operators. We find that using a gauge-invariant UV regulator is essential for achieving this proof. With the multiplicative renormalizability of both quasi-quark and quasi-gluon operators, and QCD collinear factorization of hadronic matrix elements of there operators into PDFs, extracting PDFs from lattice QCD calculated hadronic matrix elements of quasi-parton operators could have a solid theoretical foundation.

description: We study classical particles on the sites of an open chain which diffuse, coagulate and decoagulate preferentially in one direction. The master equation is expressed in terms of a spin one-half Hamiltonian $H$ and the model is shown to be completely solvable if all processes have the same asymmetry. The relaxational spectrum is obtained directly from $H$ and via the equations of motion for strings of empty sites. The structure and the solvability of these equations are investigated in the general case. Two phases are shown to exist for small and large asymmetry, respectively, which differ in their stationary properties.

description: Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide and immunotherapies are emerging as promising therapeutic options for this group of patients. A number of monoclonal antibodies targeting the programmed death-1 receptor (PD-1) and its ligand, programmed death-1 ligand (PD-L1) have already been approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and are routinely used as treatment options for lung cancer patients. However, identifying biomarkers which are able to predict response to these targeted treatments remains a major challenge in oncology. The objective of this work is to explore whether tumor-associated immunogenic cell death mechanisms (necroptosis and pyroptosis) and non-immunogenic cell death mechanisms (autophagy and apoptosis) modulate response to immunotherapy in lung cancer patients. In response to different threats, cells have the ability to activate distinct signal transduction pathways and cell death mechanisms. These mechanisms are intertwined with immune activation as programmed cell death (PCD) and can regulate a host inflammatory response. However, the ability of different PCD to elicit immune and inflammatory responses varies from mechanism to mechanism. For example, necroptosis and pyroptosis lead to the release of intracellular material into the extracellular space. Thus, these two cell death mechanisms can stimulate an innate and adaptive immune response. Apoptosis and autophagy, on the other hand, are less immunogenic and have a smaller effect on immune activation and inflammatory response. As such, cancer-associated cell death mechanisms may shape immune response and potentially render susceptibility to immune-checkpoint inhibitors. To explore whether cancer-associated cell death mechanisms modulate response to antibody-based immune-checkpoint inhibitors, we used 56 pre-treated surgical samples and core needle biopsies collected from non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients that underwent treatment with anti-PD-1 inhibitors: Nivolumab (OPDIVO) or Pembrolizumab (KEYTRUDA). Pure tumor epithelia were isolated from the surrounding cells using Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM). The Reverse Phase Protein Microarray (RPPA), a high throughout antibody-based immunoassay was then used to capture expression and activation levels of 37 proteins involved in two immunogenic (necroptosis and pyroptosis) and two less immunogenic PCD pathways (apoptosis and autophagy). Cell death associated signal transduction events were compared between patients that benefited from treatment and those that did not. By unveiling novel predictive markers of response to treatment, this work has the potential to fill and important gap in the field of cancer immunotherapy and precision medicine.

description: Letter from Marshall Kaplan, Institute for Planning and Development, to Carol R. Lubin, Community Planner for Simon Enterprises, Inc., July 5, 1966. Carol R. Lubin had sent Kaplan Gans Associates, Institute for Planning and Development, a proposal for a new town and Marshall Kaplan's letter is his critique of the proposal. Kaplan criticizes not only the lack of background information in the proposal such as population estimates, income range, and development time period; but also the inclusion of low income people. Kaplan believes that the proposal is too generic and open-ended and proposes the outline should construct itself around certain specifics such as education and community organization; Kaplan also sends Lubin a copy of a "correct" proposal drafted by his firm.

description: Intensity interferometry and in particular that due to Bose Einstein correlations (BEC) constitutes at present the only direct experimental method for the determination of sizes and lifetimes of sources in particle and nuclear physics. The measurement of these is essential for an understanding of the dynamics of strong interactions which are responsible for the existence and properties of atomic nuclei. Moreover a new state of matter, quark matter, in which the ultimate constituents of matter move freely, is within the reach of present accelerators or those under construction. The confirmation of the existence of this new state is intimately linked with the determination of its space-time properties. Furthermore BEC provides information about quantum coherence which lies at the basis of the phenomenon of Bose-Einstein condensation seen in many chapters of physics. Coherence and the associated classical fields are essential ingredients in modern theories of particle physics including the standard model. Last but not least besides this "applicative" aspect of BEC, this effect has implications for the foundations of quantum mechanics including the understanding of the concept of ``identical particles". Recent theoretical developments in BEC are reviewed and their application in high energy particle and heavy-ion reactions is analyzed. The treated topics include: a) a comparison between the wave-function approach and the space-time approach based on classical currents, which predicts "surprising" particle anti-particle BEC b) the study of final state interactions c) the use of hydrodynamics d) the relation between correlations and multiplicity distributions.

description: Separated longitudinal and transverse structure functions for the reaction 1H(e,eprime pi+)n were measured in the momentum transfer region Q2=0.6-1.6 (GeV/c)**2 at a value of the invariant mass W=1.95 GeV. New values for the pion charge form factor were extracted from the longitudinal cross section by using a recently developed Regge model. The results indicate that the pion form factor in this region is larger than previously assumed and is consistent with a monopole parameterization fitted to very low Q2 elastic data.

An Economic Analysis of Privacy Protection and Statistical Accuracy as Social Choices

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Cryptography and Security (cs.CR)

description: Statistical agencies face a dual mandate to publish accurate statistics while protecting respondent privacy. Increasing privacy protection requires decreased accuracy. Recognizing this as a resource allocation problem, we propose an economic solution: operate where the marginal cost of increasing privacy equals the marginal benefit. Our model of production, from computer science, assumes data are published using an efficient differentially private algorithm. Optimal choice weighs the demand for accurate statistics against the demand for privacy. Examples from U.S.\ statistical programs show how our framework can guide decision-making. Further progress requires a better understanding of willingness-to-pay for privacy and statistical accuracy.

Nested Performance Profiles for Benchmarking Software

description: In order to compare and benchmark the mathematical software, the performance profiles have been introduced [1]. However, it has been proved that the algorithm is not flawless. The main issue with the performance profile is that it may rank the solvers with respect to the best solver, by excluding the best one and running the algorithm on the remaining set of the solvers, the method may rank the solvers in a different way. We characterize such systems of problems-solvers and propose an efficient and reliable algorithm to overcome this negative side effect. The proposed method is unbiased in comparing the solvers and is successful in detecting the top ones

Phonon `notches' in a-b -plane optical conductivity of high-Tc superconductors
Creators: name: Kostur, Vladimir N.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: Condensed Matter (cond-mat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It is shown that a correlation between the positions of the $c$-axis longitudinal optic ($LO_c$) phonons and ``notch''-like structures in the $a$-$b$ plane conductivity of high-$T_c$ superconductors results from phonon-mediated interaction between electrons in different layers. It is found that the relative size of the notches depends on $λ_{ph}(Ω_{ph}/γ_{ph})$, where $λ_{ph}$, $Ω_{ph}$ and $γ_{ph}$ are the effective coupling strength, the frequency and the width of the optical phonon which is responsible for the notch. Even for $λ_{ph}\approx 0.01$ the effect can be large if the phonon is very sharp.

Condition for low-mass star formation in shock-compressed metal-poor clouds

Year: 2018

description: Shocks may have been prevalent in the early Universe, associated with virialization and supernova explosions, etc. Here, we study thermal evolution and fragmentation of shock-compressed clouds, by using a one-zone model with detailed thermal and chemical processes. We explore a large range of initial density (1-1e5 /cm^3), metallicity (0-1e-2 Z_sun), UV strength (0-500 times Galactic value), and cosmic microwave background temperature (10 and 30 K). Shock-compressed clouds contract isobarically via atomic and molecular line cooling, until self-gravitating clumps are formed by fragmentation. If the metals are only in the gas-phase, the clump mass is higher than ~ 3 M_sun in any conditions we studied. Although in some cases with a metallicity higher than ~ 1e-3 Z_sun, re-fragmentation of a clump is caused by metal-line cooling, this fragment mass is higher than ~ 30 M_sun. On the other hand, if about half the mass of metals is condensed in dust grains, as in the Galactic interstellar medium, dust cooling triggers re-fragmentation of a clump into sub-solar mass pieces, for metallicities higher than ~ 1e-5 Z_sun. Therefore, the presence of dust is essential in low-mass (< M_sun) star formation from a shock-compressed cloud.

Thermally assisted skyrmions creation in Pt/Co/Ta multilayer films

description: Néel-type magnetic skyrmions in multilayer films have attracted significant amount of attention recently for their stability at room temperature and capability of motion driven by a low-density electrical current, which can be potentially applied to spintronic devices. However, the thermal effect on the formation of the skyrmions and their behavior has rarely been studied. Here, we report a study on the creation of skyrmions in [Pt/Co/Ta]10 multilayer samples at different temperatures using an in-situ Lorentz transmission electron microscopy. By imaging the magnetization reversal process from positive (negative) saturation to negative (positive) saturation, we found that the skyrmions can be created by nucleation from ferromagnetic saturation state and by breaking the labyrinth domains under certain external fields. By tuning the external fields, a maximum density of skyrmions was reached at different temperatures. The key finding is that the creation of the skyrmions in the multilayers depends critically on the temperature and thermal history.
Constructing a norm of benefit-sharing in climate finance
Creators: name: Bouwer, Kim
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: This article examines fair and equitable benefit-sharing in the context of climate finance. Benefit-sharing and climate finance are both complex, heterogeneous and fast-developing fields. Yet despite the increasing use of benefit-sharing in climate change, it lacks clear conceptualisation. After explaining the subject matter and the intersection between them, the article seeks to establish what benefit-sharing does or might mean in climate finance, and questions the content and value of universalised norms in this context.

description: This study investigates successful completion at a faith-based organization providing residential substance abuse treatment services. Method: The authors apply a complex systems paradigm using a single moderator variable. The participants are primarily African Americans and most have current criminal justice involvement. Probabilities of treatment program completion for participants active in spiritual activities versus similar participants not involved in these activities are calculated. Results: Participation in the spirituality component appears to provide a valuable attractor to treatment completion. Conclusions: In the past decade, evaluation methods have included the greater use of probabilistic approaches, most notably Bayesian inference. Findings suggest that this model, as applied to the complexities of a faith-based organization, is useful for understanding treatment completion.
