description: The reconstruction of attosecond beating by interference of two-photon transitions (RABBIT) is one of the most widely used techniques for obtaining both the relative phases of harmonics forming an attosecond pulse train and the phase of atomic radiative transitions. If the latter is computed by theory, it allows to reconstruct the attosecond pulse train; if the former is known experimentally, it allows reconstruction of the electronic dynamics of photoionization in atomic and molecular systems with attosecond temporal resolution. As it relies on the interference of photo-electrons in vacuum, similar interference has never been contemplated inside crystals. Here we explore the applicability of this scheme to solid-state systems using a one-dimensional model and a DFT-calculated structure of 2D hexagonal boron nitride. We discuss the possibility of: (i) reconstructing the relative phases between harmonics with trivial influence of the 'atomic phase', (ii) retrieving the relative phases of two-photon transitions through different bands, which are generally challenging to obtain both experimentally and numerically. These phases are recorded in the beating of the population signal arising from interfering two-photon pathways, and can be read-out with angle-resolved photo-emission spectroscopy. Furthermore, the amplitude of the population beating decays as the pump and probe pulses are separated in time due to electron-hole decoherence, providing a simple interferometric method to extract dephasing times.
Critical Game Literacies and Critical Speculative Imagination: A Theoretical and Conceptual Review
Creators: name: Coopilton, Matthew
Publisher: name: gamevironments
Year: 2022

description: Digital gaming has expanded during the pandemic, adding urgency to educators’ efforts to implement research on game literacy learning. However, researchers have also documented racism, sexism, heterosexism, and other forms of oppression in gaming. Educators need to prepare young people to resist these, and game developers need to challenge them in their designs. To contribute to these efforts, this article reviews and synthesizes theories, conceptual frameworks, and research on critical game literacies, defined as the literacy skills needed to play, analyze, modify, and design games in ways that challenge systemic oppression. Synthesizing sociocultural learning theory, abolitionist critical theories, and Afrofuturist Development theory, I argue that critical game literacies can nurture critical speculative imagination, “the capacity to conjure, enact, and rehearse future worlds free from oppression” (Tynes et al. forthc., 23). I demonstrate this by focusing on movements for abolition of police and prisons, part of the international struggle for Black liberation. The theory could also be developed further in related movements around the world, supporting young people in using games as equipment to prototype liberated futures.

International Solidarity Between Game Workers in the Global North and Global South: Reflections on The Challenges Posed by Labor Aristocracy
Creators: name: Hammar, Emil Lundedal
Publisher: name: gamevironments
Year: 2022

description: This article advances the research on unionization and collective organizing in the games industry by highlighting potential future challenges of international solidarity as identified by the Marxist concept of labor aristocracy. While much of organizing and unionization in the games industry are in their nascent stages by focusing primarily on the national question and the nature of work in the games industry, the nature of global supply chains, and free flow of capital emphasizes the importance of global perspectives on how game workers can organize. Primarily, this article is concerned with the material effects of 21st century imperialism on collective organization, where the Marxist concept of labor aristocracy identifies the privileged strata of game workers in imperialist countries who benefit from exploitative international relations between core and periphery economies through higher wages, positions of power, and affordable access to commodities. As a result, these groups of game workers should, according to the implications of labor aristocracy, hold a material investment into maintaining the exploitation of game workers in the periphery. This means that the current social movements to organize and unionize in the games industry potentially encounters the challenge of international solidarity with workers whose exploitation those in the imperialist countries benefit from. This article identifies such challenges through interviews and an online survey with game workers, organizers, union representatives, and leaders of international organizations. The findings reveal the international character of game work and the challenges of national legislation; the importance and challenge of building solidarity between game workers in the core and periphery; and finally, the potential strategies for unions and organizers to cultivate international solidarity. Thus, the article clears a forward path for both production research in game studies and labor organizing in the Western games industry through a global perspective on international material relations and historical materialism.

Gaming against Violence: An Exploration of Video Games as Tools for Sexual Violence Prevention Education
Creators: name: Gordon, Kenzie
Publisher: name: gamevironments
Year: 2022

description: This article engages the question of whether a prosocial video game can be an effective intervention for combating values that support rape culture. Employing a methodology that blends the Values at Play framework (Flanagan and Nissenbaum 2014) with feminist game analysis and empirical measurements, it demonstrates the capacity of intentionally-designed games to broaden the toolkit of gender-based violence prevention professionals. Existing scholarship that has examined the relationship between gameplay and attitudes towards sexual violence has predominantly taken a deficit-focused approach, examining whether games like Grand Theft Auto IV (2008) have a negative effect on the attitudes of players. This research is largely disconnected from approaches in game studies, leading to methodological shortcomings that fail to acknowledge the real-world conditions in which people actually play games. I argue that the integration of theories of player interpretation of ludic interactions, strategies in digital pedagogy, and empirical measurement of player beliefs can produce more robust findings, which consider the multiple meanings players may find in game spaces. This article describes a mixed-method approach to exploring beneficial applications of games for sexual violence prevention work, surveying participants on attitudes towards sexual violence before and after playing the bystander intervention game Decisions That Matter (2015). The findings of this research echo other studies that blend violence prevention education with video games (Potter et al. 2019), suggesting that games may be an effective means of reducing adherence to rape myths. As the sexual violence prevention sector works to grapple with the scale of the problem and the increasing prevalence of digital forms of sexual violence, the importance of developing effective, evidence-based digital tools for violence prevention is heightened. This study sheds light on the benefits and drawbacks of games as an educational format for violence prevention and suggests methodological considerations and interdisciplinary approaches that will be essential to building an evidence-based digital toolkit for violence prevention.

description: We prove that any geometrically irreducible $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}_p$-local system on a smooth algebraic variety over a $p$-adic field $K$ becomes de Rham after a twist by a character of the Galois group of $K$. In particular, for any geometrically irreducible $\overline{\mathbb{Q}}_p$-local system on a smooth variety over a number field the associated projective representation of the fundamental group automatically satisfies the assumptions of the relative Fontaine-Mazur conjecture. The proof uses $p$-adic Simpson and Riemann-Hilbert correspondences of Diao-Lan-Liu-Zhu and the Sen operator on the decompletions of those developed by Shimizu. Along the way, we observe that a $p$-adic local system on a smooth geometrically connected algebraic variety over $K$ is Hodge-Tate if its stalk at one closed point is a Hodge-Tate Galois representation. Moreover, we prove a version of the main theorem for local systems with arbitrary geometric monodromy, which allows us to conclude that the Galois action on the pro-algebraic completion of the fundamental group is de Rham.

description: During the current COVID-19 pandemic, decision makers are tasked with implementing and evaluating strategies for both treatment and disease prevention. In order to make effective decisions, they need to simultaneously monitor various attributes of the pandemic such as transmission rate and infection rate for disease prevention, recovery rate which indicates treatment effectiveness as well as the mortality rate and others. This work presents a technique for monitoring the pandemic by employing an Susceptible, Exposed, Infected, Recovered Death model regularly estimated by an augmented particle Markov chain Monte Carlo scheme in which the posterior distribution samples are monitored via Multivariate Exponentially Weighted Average process monitoring. This is illustrated on the COVID-19 data for the State of Qatar.

description: Groundwater with excess fluoride content is a major issue in most of the states in India. Mineral ions and its seasonal fluctuations are influencing fluoride contamination in groundwater sources to a greater extent. Reports on health issues from several regions of south India have instigated detailed studies on groundwater fluoride contamination and the geo-environmental reasons underlying it. Fluoride contamination in the groundwater sources of Palakkad district, a semi-arid tropical region in South India, was assessed along with major anions and cations. The study revealed that 89% of Po, 88% of Pr, and 52% of Mo samples exceeded the BIS limit of fluoride concentration of 1.0 mg/L. The piper plot and correlation studies affirm that fluoride contamination is accelerated by a higher concentration of magnesium, sodium ions and a lower concentration of calcium and dissolved iron. The negative correlation of fluoride with nitrates supports its geological origin. Fluoride contamination is highly linked with the hornblende biotite gneiss (~ 42%) distributed in the central-eastern part of the district. IDW interpolation defines a maximum of 3.4 mg/L of fluoride in the groundwater sources. The overdose of fluoride in drinking water, which exceeded the OFC level, is noted to be the reason for the prevalence of fluorosis in the study area. The study recommends 0.61 mg/L of fluoride as an OFC limit for drinking purposes.

description: There is an increasing interest in applying deep learning to 3D mesh segmentation. We observe that 1) existing feature-based techniques are often slow or sensitive to feature resizing, 2) there are minimal comparative studies and 3) techniques often suffer from reproducibility issue. This study contributes in two ways. First, we propose a novel convolutional neural network (CNN) for mesh segmentation. It uses 1D data, filters and a multi-branch architecture for separate training of multi-scale features. Together with a novel way of computing conformal factor (CF), our technique clearly out-performs existing work. Secondly, we publicly provide implementations of several deep learning techniques, namely, neural networks (NNs), autoencoders (AEs) and CNNs, whose architectures are at least two layers deep. The significance of this study is that it proposes a robust form of CF, offers a novel and accurate CNN technique, and a comprehensive study of several deep learning techniques for baseline comparison.

description: Robots are used increasingly often in safety-critical scenarios, such as robotic surgery or human-robot interaction. To ensure stringent performance criteria, formal controller synthesis is a promising direction to guarantee that robots behave as desired. However, formally ensured properties only transfer to the real robot when the model is appropriate. We address this problem by combining the identification of a reachset-conformant model with controller synthesis. Since the reachset-conformant model contains all the measured behaviors of the real robot, the safety properties of the model transfer to the real robot. The transferability is demonstrated by experiments on a real robot, for which we synthesize tracking controllers.

description: This study investigates the capacity of spent self-indicating silica gels modified with Harpephyllumcaffrum(wild plum) stem bark extract to remove hexavalent chromium from wastewater. The physicochemical properties of the adsorbents were assessed using FESEM, FTIR, PXRD, TGA and BET surface analyser. The batch adsorption technique was used to examine the capacity of spent self-indicating silica gel (SIPP) and modified spent self-indicating silica gel (SIP) to eliminate Cr(VI) from the aqueous solution. The uptake capacity of the sorbents was noticed to increase with increasing adsorbent dose, contact time and initial concentration of Cr(VI). On the contrary, the potential of SIPP and SIP were observed to decline with increasing solution pH, similarly as found for most Cr(VI) absorbents. However, the uptake capacity of the SIPP and SIP were noticed to be optimum at 0.05 g adsorbent dosage and 180 min contact time. Meanwhile, the kinetic behaviour of SIPP and SIP in the removal of Cr(VI) was best described by the Elovich kinetic model. Furthermore, the uptake of Cr(VI) onto SIP and SIPP was sufficiently described by the three-parameter isotherm Sips and Freundlich isotherms respectively. The Cr(VI) adsorption was endothermic, entropy-driven, and feasible. The application of Harpephyllum caffrumstem bark extract on SIPP as Cr(VI) adsorbent was significant and the reusability of the adsorbent portrayed the capacity of SIP to adapt to a full-scale wastewater treatment practice.

Maximum latent heat of neutron star matter independently of General Relativity

description: We establish bounds on the maximum possible specific latent heat of cold neutron-star matter derived from hadron physics alone. Existing chiral perturbation theory computations for the equation of state, together with perturbative Quantum Chromodynamics, relevant at highest densities (even if they would turn out not to be physically realizable) bind the maximum latent heat which is possible in actual neutron stars. Because these are already near gravitational collapse in General Relativity, no denser form of cold matter can exist: thus, the bounds are a generic physical limit. Even in scenarios that modify the theory of gravity, the existence of a family of latent-heat maxima is relevant to diagnose progress in the knowledge of the equation of state of neutron matter, by quantifying the maximum possible (presumed) phase transition that its error bands would allow. Thus, latent heat is a natural benchmark for the equation of state in cold QCD.

description: Recent work has shown that quantum computers can compute scattering probabilities in massive quantum field theories, with a run time that is polynomial in the number of particles, their energy, and the desired precision. Here we study a closely related quantum field-theoretical problem: estimating the vacuum-to-vacuum transition amplitude, in the presence of spacetime-dependent classical sources, for a massive scalar field theory in (1+1) dimensions. We show that this problem is BQP-hard; in other words, its solution enables one to solve any problem that is solvable in polynomial time by a quantum computer. Hence, the vacuum-to-vacuum amplitude cannot be accurately estimated by any efficient classical algorithm, even if the field theory is very weakly coupled, unless BQP=BPP. Furthermore, the corresponding decision problem can be solved by a quantum computer in a time scaling polynomially with the number of bits needed to specify the classical source fields, and this problem is therefore BQP-complete. Our construction can be regarded as an idealized architecture for a universal quantum computer in a laboratory system described by massive phi^4 theory coupled to classical spacetime-dependent sources.

description: In this paper, we study the strategic allocation of limited resources using a Colonel Blotto game (CBG) under a dynamic setting and analyze the problem using an online learning approach. In this model, one of the players is a learner who has limited troops to allocate over a finite time horizon, and the other player is an adversary. In each round, the learner plays a one-shot Colonel Blotto game with the adversary and strategically determines the allocation of troops among battlefields based on past observations. The adversary chooses its allocation action randomly from some fixed distribution that is unknown to the learner. The learner's objective is to minimize its regret, which is the difference between the cumulative reward of the best mixed strategy and the realized cumulative reward by following a learning algorithm while not violating the budget constraint. The learning in dynamic CBG is analyzed under the framework of combinatorial bandits and bandits with knapsacks. We first convert the budget-constrained dynamic CBG to a path planning problem on a directed graph. We then devise an efficient algorithm that combines a special combinatorial bandit algorithm for path planning problem and a bandits with knapsack algorithm to cope with the budget constraint. The theoretical analysis shows that the learner's regret is bounded by a term sublinear in time horizon and polynomial in other parameters. Finally, we justify our theoretical results by carrying out simulations for various scenarios.

Creators: name: Miller, Ashleigh
Publisher: name: Colorado School of Mines Repository
Year: 2023

description: Rising sea levels have disproportionately large impacts on Southern coastal regions of the United States, and to a greater degree among communities therein affected by socioeconomic inequalities. Despite this, research in one of the leading causes of global sea level rise, melting ice (i.e., the cryosphere), is largely left behind in the curricula of public middle and high school institutions throughout these southern states. As rates of sea level rise continue to increase, an assessment of educational capacities within the context of present-day access to climate and cryosphere education in the United States becomes increasingly important. In this study, we apply an inductive coding method to current public-school curricula at the "8th to 12th" grade levels to assess the capacities of Southern schools to support strengthened cryosphere and sea level rise education. This developed framework can be applied to school systems across the United States and ranks availability of access, capacities form and connections to cryosphere and sea level rise education. The results of this study indicate a great potential to connect sea level rise and cryosphere education to the impacts and experiences of coastal communities in the United States, as well as capacities to forge new collaborations between funded university-level research centers and local communities to support educational access. Future work will quantify the identified capacities within southern public school science curricula in an actionable manner for use by Boards of Education, politicians, and scientists in sea level rise and cryospheric science spaces.

description: The self-supervised learning (SSL) paradigm is an essential exploration area, which tries to eliminate the need for expensive data labeling. Despite the great success of SSL methods in computer vision and natural language processing, most of them employ contrastive learning objectives that require negative samples, which are hard to define. This becomes even more challenging in the case of graphs and is a bottleneck for achieving robust representations. To overcome such limitations, we propose a framework for self-supervised graph representation learning - Graph Barlow Twins, which utilizes a cross-correlation-based loss function instead of negative samples. Moreover, it does not rely on non-symmetric neural network architectures - in contrast to state-of-the-art self-supervised graph representation learning method BGRL. We show that our method achieves as competitive results as the best self-supervised methods and fully supervised ones while requiring fewer hyperparameters and substantially shorter computation time (ca. 30 times faster than BGRL).

Magnetic and nematic orders of the 2DEG at oxide (111) surfaces and interfaces

description: Recent experiments have explored two-dimensional electron gases (2DEGs) at oxide (111) surfaces and interfaces, finding evidence for hexagonal symmetry breaking in SrTiO$_3$ at low temperature. We discuss many-body instabilities of such (111) 2DEGs, incorporating multiorbital interactions in the $t_{2g}$ manifold which can induce diverse magnetic and orbital orders. Such broken symmetries may partly account for the observed nematicity, cooperating or competing with phonon mechanisms. We present an effective field theory for the interplay of magnetism and nematic charge order, and discuss implications of the nematicity for transport and superconductivity in (111) 2DEGs.

Contemporary Palestinian feminist organising: contesting NGO-ization and the rise of "alternative organising"
Creators: name: Fayyad, Farah
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis explores the intricacies of local Palestinian feminist organising within the broader understanding of Palestinian local feminist knowledge, transnational feminism and the wider political economy. Historically grounded, this research tracks the evolution of the Palestinian feminist movement and its constituent organisations from its formal inauguration in 1929 to present day, but specifically focuses on the contemporary impact of the significant historical shift that occurred in 1993, namely the signing of the Oslo Accords, which led to the NGO-ization boom within Palestinian feminist organisations. In-depth interviews were conducted with current feminist organisation leaders that exposed the complexities and the nuances of how Palestinian feminists organise and mobilise against the backdrop of a militaristic Occupation. The feminist qualitative research, although exploratory in nature, unraveled some contextually-situated findings. It demonstrated that within the context of Palestinian feminist organising, feminist activists operate in a system of oppression which consists of various forces acting against women in an interlocking system, namely, the Occupation; and social, political and religious ideology. These forces have been, and continue to be, stifling to the organisational efforts of Palestinian women. The system of oppression demonstrates a uniquely historically and politically situated set of forces that are particular to the struggle of Palestinian feminists. The research also demonstrated that there are dominant and alternative forms of feminist organising currently present in the Palestinian feminist space. Palestinian feminist organising is not homogenous and represents nuanced forms of organising that can be explored through what I refer to as the “dominant-alternative spectrum”, which highlights that dominant and alternative forms of organising are not as “radical” in some cases and so they should not be categorised in a rigid, binary manner and that they appear to be alternative in relation to the existing, prevalent ways of organising. The overwhelming majority of Palestinian feminist organising are heavily NGO-ized; as a result of the Oslo Agreements, however, there are signs of alternative organising which have not yet been explored in the literature and may indicate some tidal shifts in the Palestinian feminist space. Palestinian feminist organising challenges existing literature in Organisation Studies; and unlocks a wealth of untapped knowledge on the "non-profit industrial complex" which operates as a part of the Neo-Imperialist Machine.

description: In this article, we prove the transformation formula for the reduced Bergman kernels under proper holomorphic correspondences between bounded domains in the complex plane. As a corollary, we obtain the transformation formula for the reduced Bergman kernels under proper holomorphic maps. We also establish the transformation formula for the weighted reduced Bergman kernels under proper holomorphic maps. Finally, we provide an application of this transformation formula.

Apartness, sharp elements, and the Scott topology of domains

description: Working constructively, we study continuous directed complete posets (dcpos) and the Scott topology. Our two primary novelties are a notion of intrinsic apartness and a notion of sharp elements. Being apart is a positive formulation of being unequal, similar to how inhabitedness is a positive formulation of nonemptiness. To exemplify sharpness, we note that a lower real is sharp if and only if it is located. Our first main result is that for a large class of continuous dcpos, the Bridges-Vîţǎ apartness topology and the Scott topology coincide. Although we cannot expect a tight or cotransitive apartness on nontrivial dcpos, we prove that the intrinsic apartness is both tight and cotransitive when restricted to the sharp elements of a continuous dcpo. These include the strongly maximal elements, as studied by Smyth and Heckmann. We develop the theory of strongly maximal elements highlighting its connection to sharpness and the Lawson topology. Finally, we illustrate the intrinsic apartness, sharpness and strong maximality by considering several natural examples of continuous dcpos: the Cantor and Baire domains, the partial Dedekind reals, the lower reals and finally, an embedding of Cantor space into an exponential of lifted sets.
