description: We report on the \nustar{} observation of the Z-type neutron star low-mass X-ray binary Cygnus X--2 performed on 7 January 2015. During this observation, the source exhibited sudden decrease in count rate (dips) and stronger variability in $3-79\kev$ X-ray lightcurve. The hardness-intensity diagram shows that the source remained in the so-called \quotes{normal branch} of the Z-track, although an extended \quotes{flaring branch} is observed during the dips. The source was in a soft spectral state with the $3-45\kev$ luminosity of $L\simeq(0.5-1.1)\times 10^{38}$ erg s$^{-1}$, assuming a distance of 8 kpc. Both the non-dip and dip X-ray spectra are well represented by models in which the soft band is dominated by the emission from the disc, while the hard X-ray band is dominated by the Comptonized emission from the boundary layer/corona and its reflected emission from the disc. The X-ray spectrum also revealed a broad Fe K$α$ emission line which is nearly symmetric at the higher flux and asymmetric when the flux is reduced by a factor of $\sim 2$. The relativistic reflection model predicts the inner radius of the accretion disc as $R_{in}\simeq2.5-6.0\:R_{ISCO}\:(\simeq30-73$ Km) for the non-dip state and $R_{in}\simeq2.0-2.6\:R_{ISCO}\:(\simeq24-32$ Km) for the dip state. If the inner disc is truncated due to the pressure arising from a magnetic field, this implies an upper limit of the magnetic field strength of $\leq7.6\times10^{9}$ G at the magnetic poles which is consistent with other estimates.

description: For a closed oriented smooth 4-manifold X with $b^2_+(X)>0$, the Seiberg-Witten invariants are well-defined. Taubes' "SW=Gr" theorem asserts that if X carries a symplectic form then these invariants are equal to well-defined counts of pseudoholomorphic curves, Taubes' Gromov invariants. In the absence of a symplectic form there are still nontrivial closed self-dual 2-forms which vanish along a disjoint union of circles and are symplectic elsewhere. This paper and its sequel describes well-defined counts of pseudoholomorphic curves in the complement of the zero-set of such "near-symplectic" forms, and it is shown that they recover the Seiberg-Witten invariants (mod 2). This is an extension of Taubes' "SW=Gr" theorem to non-symplectic 4-manifolds. The main result of this paper asserts the following. Given a suitable near-symplectic form w, a tubular neighborhood N of its zero-set, and a generic w-compatible almost complex structure J on X-N, there are well-defined counts of J-holomorphic curves in a completion of the symplectic cobordism (X-N, w) which are asymptotic to Reeb orbits on the ends. They can be packaged together to form "near-symplectic" Gromov invariants as a function of spin-c structures on X.

Federated analytics - A New Paradigm for Data Processing and Machine Learning - Insights from the NINA Project

description: Federated analytics represents a paradigm shift in the field of data processing and machine learning, offering a decentralised approach that prioritises privacy and control over data. Each participating site independently processes its locally stored data to answer database queries, generate descriptive statistics, or train machine learning models. The key advantage is that these sites only share the results of their computations which are then aggregated to derive global insights or form a global model. As AI-driven research becomes increasingly prevalent, federated learning is garnering significant attention.

While federated learning offers significant benefits, it also introduces unique challenges. These challenges include the need for specific skills and robust infrastructure at each participating site, navigating uncharted territory for data governance, and prompting a shift in the governance model of trusted research environments. Addressing these challenges is crucial for the successful implementation and adoption of federated analytics and requires a collaborative approach between servers, platforms, and sites.

The National Infrastructure for Federated Learning in Digital Health to Generate New Models of Care for Chronic Diseases (NINA) project is a pioneering initiative in the field of digital health research. It leverages federated learning to address the critical unmet need of chronic diseases. With over 20 partners across Australia, NINA aims to establish a national capability and infrastructure network for enabling federated learning in Australia.

This presentation provides an overview of the NINA project, discuss the benefits and challenges of federated learning, and present the strategies adopted by NINA to overcome these challenges.
Lindblad dynamics of the quantum spherical model

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The purely relaxational non-equilibrium dynamics of the quantum spherical model as described through a Lindblad equation is analysed. It is shown that the phenomenological requirements of reproducing the exact quantum equilibrium state as stationary solution and the associated classical Langevin equation in the classical limit $g\to 0$ fix the form of the Lindblad dissipators, up to an overall time-scale. In the semi-classical limit, the models' behaviour become effectively the one of the classical analogue, with a dynamical exponent $z=2$, and an effective temperature $T_{\rm eff}$, renormalised by the quantum coupling $g$. A distinctive behaviour is found for a quantum quench, at zero temperature, deep into the ordered phase $g\ll g_c(d)$, for $d>1$ dimensions. Only for $d=2$ dimensions, a simple scaling behaviour holds true, with a dynamical exponent $z=1$, while for dimensions $d\ne 2$, logarithmic corrections to scaling arise. The spin-spin correlator, the growing length scale and the time-dependent susceptibility show the existence of several logarithmically different length scales.

Non-conserved magnetization operator and `fire-and-ice' ground states in the Ising-Heisenberg diamond chain

description: We consider the diamond chain with S=1/2 XYZ vertical dimers which interact with the intermediate sites via the interaction of the Ising type. We also suppose all four spins form the diamond-shaped plaquette to have different g-factors. The non-uniform g-factors within the quantum spin dimer as well as the XY-anisotropy of the exchange interaction lead to the non-conserving magnetization for the chain. We analyze the effects of non-conserving magnetization as well as the effects of the appearance of negative g-factors among the spins from the unit cell. A number of unusual frustrated states for ferromagnetic couplings and g-factors with non-uniform signs are found out. These frustrated states generalize the "half-fire-half-ice" state introduced in Ref. [8]. The corresponding zero-temperature ground state phase diagrams are presented.
title: Choreographies of the Curatorial: Performative trajectories for choreography and dance in the museum
Creators: name: Spies, Sarah
Publisher: name: University of Reading
Year: 2022

description: The thesis examines the emergent, recurrent and proliferating arc of curatorial frameworks that have prioritised and mined contemporary choreographic practice as content, process and research since the early 21st Century. The performative qualities of choreography and dance in the contemporary museum are extrapolated in relation to the expanded conceptual parameters of both the ‘choreographic’ and the ‘curatorial,’ alongside apparent ideological trajectories that account for the more dominant historical forces manifesting at present. These include concurrent and divergent developments between the historic conventions of the ‘black box’ and the ‘white cube’ as the privileged apparatus of choreography and curation respectively as well as the ideological inheritance of sexual difference that implicate and interpellate dancing and performing ‘rambunctious bodies’ in the historically sepulchral landscape of the art museum. Performativity is thus constructed as a central theoretical and methodological framework; firstly via its origins in J.L. Austin’s ‘reality-making’ linguistic effects in ‘How to Do Things with Words,’ secondly, in relation to Judith Butler’s discursive updation that conjoins Austinian performative language theory with Louis Althusser’s notion of ideological apparatus to capture the performative interpellation of gendered embodiment and subjectivity, and thirdly, via the paradigmatic expansion of performativity as both novel instrument of critical artistic practice from Dorothea von Hantelmann ‘How to Do Things with Art: The Meaning of Art’s Performativity’ and Barbara Bolt’s rendering of artistic research as performative per se. The practical component of the thesis, the curated performative event Precarious Assembly at the Whitworth Gallery in 2016, examines the application of the methodology by way of Austin’s distinct performative imperatives via the illocutionary utterance as the intentional curatorial ‘summons’ or ‘promise,’ and the perlocutionary effect as the choreographic-orientated event itself with unpredictable effects on participants and spectators in the locale of the Whitworth.

Revealing the Dark Matter Halo with Axion Direct Detection

description: The next generation of axion direct detection experiments may rule out or confirm axions as the dominant source of dark matter. We develop a general likelihood-based framework for studying the time-series data at such experiments, with a focus on the role of dark-matter astrophysics, to search for signatures of the QCD axion or axion like particles. We illustrate how in the event of a detection the likelihood framework may be used to extract measures of the local dark matter phase-space distribution, accounting for effects such as annual modulation and gravitational focusing, which is the perturbation to the dark matter phase-space distribution by the gravitational field of the Sun. Moreover, we show how potential dark matter substructure, such as cold dark matter streams or a thick dark disk, could impact the signal. For example, we find that when the bulk dark matter halo is detected at 5$σ$ global significance, the unique time-dependent features imprinted by the dark matter component of the Sagittarius stream, even if only a few percent of the local dark matter density, may be detectable at $\sim$2$σ$ significance. A co-rotating dark disk, with lag speed $\sim$50 km$/$s, that is $\sim$20$\%$ of the local DM density could dominate the signal, while colder but as-of-yet unknown substructure may be even more important. Our likelihood formalism, and the results derived with it, are generally applicable to any time-series based approach to axion direct detection.

description: We have previously reported the cloning, sequencing, and partial characterization of Kid-1, a zinc finger-encoding cDNA from the rat kidney. The Kid-1 protein and approximately one-third of all other zinc finger proteins contain a highly conserved region of approximately 75 amino acids at their NH2 terminus named Krüppel-associated box (KRAB), which is subdivided into A and B domains. The evolutionary conservation, wide distribution, and genomic organization of the KRAB domains suggest an important role of this region in the transcriptional regulatory function of zinc finger proteins. The functional significance of the KRAB domain was evaluated by studying transcriptional activities of yeast GAL4-rat Kid-1 fusion proteins containing various regions of the non-zinc-finger domain of Kid-1. Transcriptional repressor activity of GAL4-Kid-1 fusion proteins maps to the KRAB-A domain. The KRAB-A domain of another zinc finger protein, ZNF2, also has repressor activity. Site-directed mutagenesis of conserved amino acids in this motif results in decreased repressor activity. Thus, we have established a functional significance for the KRAB-A domain, a consensus sequence common in zinc finger proteins.

description: We study reheating in $α$-attractor models of inflation in which the inflaton couples to other scalars or fermions. We show that the parameter space contains viable regions in which the inflaton couplings to radiation can be determined from the properties of CMB temperature fluctuations, in particular the spectral index. This may be the only way to measure these fundamental microphysical parameters, which shaped the universe by setting the initial temperature of the hot big bang and contain important information about the embedding of a given model of inflation into a more fundamental theory of physics. The method can be applied to other models of single field inflation.

description: Light incident on a layer of scattering material such as a piece of sugar or white paper forms a characteristic speckle pattern in transmission and reflection. The information hidden in the correlations of the speckle pattern with varying frequency, polarization and angle of the incident light can be exploited for applications such as biomedical imaging and high-resolution microscopy. Conventional computational models for multi-frequency optical response involve multiple solution runs of Maxwell's equations with monochromatic sources. Exponential Krylov subspace time solvers are promising candidates for improving efficiency of such models, as single monochromatic solution can be reused for the other frequencies without performing full time-domain computations at each frequency. However, we show that the straightforward implementation appears to have serious limitations. We further propose alternative ways for efficient solution through Krylov subspace methods. Our methods are based on two different splittings of the unknown solution into different parts, each of which can be computed efficiently. Experiments demonstrate a significant gain in computation time with respect to the standard solvers.

description: We propose a novel method for the elimination of negative Monte Carlo event weights. The method is process-agnostic, independent of any analysis, and preserves all physical observables. We demonstrate the overall performance and systematic improvement with increasing event sample size, based on predictions for the production of a W boson with two jets calculated at next-to-leading order perturbation theory.

description: Understanding spoken language often occurs under suboptimal listening conditions, such as processing degraded speech input or conversing in the presence of a competing talker. Neuroimaging studies suggest a role of frontal regions in compensating for degraded speech [1] and that of cingulo-opercular attentional network in allocating resources between different tasks under distraction [2]. However, no studies so far have revealed the combined effects of acoustic degradation and distraction on the speech processing network.

Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and machine learning (ML), we investigated the neural basis of processing degraded speech under divided attention. We examined brain responses of listeners (N=25) performing a sentence recognition task (4- and 8-band noise-vocoding) concurrently with a visuospatial task with two difficulty levels. Traditional general linear modelling (GLM) based fMRI-analysis revealed intelligibility-related responses in the frontal and cingulate cortices and bilateral insulae but failed to detect neural correlates of visual-task difficulty. Using gradient tree boosting algorithms [3], we predicted task conditions from brain responses with high accuracy (60%) and significantly surpassing chance level (25%). Importantly, the algorithm further identified more elevated response in the ventral visual pathway (right inferior frontal gyrus) and right insula when the visual task imposed a high (compared to low) demand. Moreover, regions found sensitive to speech intelligibility including left supplementary motor and right middle frontal regions showed alleviated responses under a hard visual task, insinuating dynamic resource dispensing across the two tasks.

Our results unveiled the engagement of the frontal-temporal network in the processing of degraded speech under divided attention. These results suggest that ML can detect spatially complex and subtle non-linear neural activation patterns that are otherwise hidden by inferential statistics. The tree-based approach offers a robust and generalisable solution to predictions using fMRI data, whose sample size is often subject to external constraints.

Lower Mass Bound on the $W^\prime$ mass via Neutrinoless Double Beta Decay in a 3-3-1 Model

description: The discovery of neutrino masses has raised the importance of studies in the context of neutrinoless double beta decay, which constitutes a landmark for lepton number violation. The standard interpretation is that the light massive neutrinos, that we observed oscillating in terrestrial experiments, mediate double beta decay. In the minimal 3-3-1 model, object of our study, there is an additional contribution that stems from the mixing between a new charged vector boson, $W^{\prime}$, and the Standard Model W boson. Even after setting this mixing to be very small, we show that tight constraints arise from the non-observation of neutrinoless double beta decay. Indeed, we derive bounds on the mass of the $W^{\prime}$ gauge boson that might exceed those from collider probes, and most importantly push the scale of symmetry breaking beyond its validity, leading to the exclusion of the minimal 3-3-1 model.

Nanoemulsion stability above the critical micelle concentration: A contest between solubilization, flocculation and Krafft precipitation

description: The relative importance of micelle solubilization and Krafft temperature on the appraisal of the flocculation rate is studied using a dodecane-in-water nanoemulsion as a model system. In 0.5 mM solutions of sodium dodecylsulfate (SDS), neither the critical micelle concentration (CMC) nor the Krafft point of the surfactant are attained between 300 and 700 mM NaCl and 20 < T < 25 °C. Hence, the addition of salt to a SDS-stabilized nanoemulsion only induces aggregation. Conversely, a surfactant concentration of 7.5 mM SDS promotes micelle solubilization or crystal precipitation depending on the physicochemical conditions. Solubilization decreases the absorbance of the system while flocculation and Krafft precipitation increase it. In this paper, the actual variation of the absorbance above the CMC was followed during five minutes for 300, 500 and 700 mM NaCl. The initial 60-second changes were used to determine apparent aggregation rates. The solubilization capacity of the systems was appraised using plots of absorbance vs. volume fraction of oil for different salt concentrations and observation times. The variation of the Krafft point as a function of the salt concentration was also studied using surfactant solutions and emulsions. Finally, small-scale simulations accounting for micelle solubilization were implemented in order to advance in the comprehension of the problem.
