description: In this work, we construct coherent states for electrons in anisotropic 2D Dirac materials immersed in a uniform magnetic field perpendicularly oriented to the sample. In order to describe the bidimensional effects on electron dynamics in a semiclassical approach, we adopt the symmetric gauge vector potential to describe the external magnetic field through a vector potential. By solving a Dirac-like equation with an anisotropic Fermi velocity, we identify two sets of scalar ladder operators that allow us to define generalized annihilation operators, which are generators of either the Heisenberg-Weyl or su(1,1) algebra. We construct both bidimensional and su(1,1) coherent states as eigenstates of such annihilation operators with complex eigenvalues. In order to illustrate the effects of the anisotropy on these states, we obtain their probability density and mean energy value. Depending upon the anisotropy, expressed by the ration between the Fermi velocities along the $x$- and $y$-axes, the shape of the probability density is modified on the $xy$-plane with respect to the isotropic case and according to the classical dynamics.

description: The Hawkes process (HP) has been widely applied to modeling self-exciting events including neuron spikes, earthquakes and tweets. To avoid designing parametric triggering kernel and to be able to quantify the prediction confidence, the non-parametric Bayesian HP has been proposed. However, the inference of such models suffers from unscalability or slow convergence. In this paper, we aim to solve both problems. Specifically, first, we propose a new non-parametric Bayesian HP in which the triggering kernel is modeled as a squared sparse Gaussian process. Then, we propose a novel variational inference schema for model optimization. We employ the branching structure of the HP so that maximization of evidence lower bound (ELBO) is tractable by the expectation-maximization algorithm. We propose a tighter ELBO which improves the fitting performance. Further, we accelerate the novel variational inference schema to linear time complexity by leveraging the stationarity of the triggering kernel. Different from prior acceleration methods, ours enjoys higher efficiency. Finally, we exploit synthetic data and two large social media datasets to evaluate our method. We show that our approach outperforms state-of-the-art non-parametric frequentist and Bayesian methods. We validate the efficiency of our accelerated variational inference schema and practical utility of our tighter ELBO for model selection. We observe that the tighter ELBO exceeds the common one in model selection.

description: Z4 parafermions can be realized in a strongly interacting quantum spin Hall Josephson junction or in a spin Hall Josephson junction strongly coupled to an impurity spin. In this paper, we study a system that has both features, but with weak (repulsive) interactions and a weakly coupled spin. We show that for a strongly anisotropic exchange interaction, at low temperatures the system enters a strong coupling limit in which it hosts two Z4 parafermions, characterizing a fourfold degeneracy of the ground state. We construct the parafermion operators explicitly and show that they facilitate fractional e/2 charge tunneling across the junction. The dependence of the effective low- energy spectrum on the superconducting phase difference reveals an 8π periodicity of the supercurrent.

description: Objective: The aim of the current study is to assess the performance of the staggered spondaic word Spanish Version (SSW-SV) in a group of older adults with bilateral hearing loss. Materials andmethods: A retrospective review was undertaken of medical records of adults seen at the ENT Department of the Hospital Padre Hurtado in Santiago, Chile. Ninety-six adults were included in the study (M = 65.3 years, SD 15.9). Pure tone audiometry and the SSW-SV were administered. All participants presented with a bilateral symmetrical sensorineural hearing loss. Uncorrected (RSSW) and corrected (CSSW) errors scores were obtained. Participants were allocated into four groups as a function of age; (a) younger (aged 20–59 years); and three older age groups in their (b) 60s; (c) 70s; and (d) 80s. Results: There were correlations between RSSW/CSSW errors scores and hearing loss, indicating that increased errors were associated with a higher degree of hearing loss (>50 dB HL). No significant differences in performance between younger and 60s group participants were observed, whereas the older groups had more variable performance (70s and 80s groups). RSSW/CSSW total errors scores become higher with age, however significant group differences (for the competing conditions) were only observed in the older groups (70s and 80s). About 50% of the sample did not show significant order nor ear effects. Conclusions: The SSW-SV is a useful tool to describe the dichotic listening abilities of older adults with hearing loss and can be administered to people with bilateral sensorineural hearing loss.

description: Difference in density of states for the spin's majority and minority bands in a ferromagnet changes the electrostatic potential along the domains, introducing the discontinuities of the potential at domain boundaries. The value of discontinuity oscillates with number of domains. Discontinuity depends on the positions of domain walls, their motion or collapse of domain walls in applied magnetic field. Large values of magnetoresistance are explained in terms of spin-accumulation. We suggest a new type of domain walls in nanowires of itinerant ferromagnets, in which the magnetization vector changes without rotation. Absence of transverse magnetization components allows considerable spin accumulation assuming the spin relaxation length, L_S, is large enough.

description: Computer-aided design (CAD) models play a crucial role in the design, manufacturing and maintenance of products. Therefore, the mesh-based finite element descriptions common in structural optimisation must be first translated into CAD models. Currently, this can at best be performed semi-manually. We propose a fully automated and topologically accurate approach to synthesise a structurally-sound parametric CAD model from topology optimised finite element models. Our solution is to first convert the topology optimised structure into a spatial frame structure and then to regenerate it in a CAD system using standard constructive solid geometry (CSG) operations. The obtained parametric CAD models are compact, that is, have as few as possible geometric parameters, which makes them ideal for editing and further processing within a CAD system. The critical task of converting the topology optimised structure into an optimal spatial frame structure is accomplished in several steps. We first generate from the topology optimised voxel model a one-voxel-wide voxel chain model using a topology-preserving skeletonisation algorithm from digital topology. The weighted undirected graph defined by the voxel chain model yields a spatial frame structure after processing it with standard graph algorithms. Subsequently, we optimise the cross-sections and layout of the frame members to recover its optimality, which may have been compromised during the conversion process. At last, we generate the obtained frame structure in a CAD system by repeatedly combining primitive solids, like cylinders and spheres, using boolean operations. The resulting solid model is a boundary representation (B-Rep) consisting of trimmed non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) curves and surfaces.

description: In this thesis, we prove that local genericity implies globally genericity for the quasi-split unitary group U3 for a quadratic extension of number fields E/F. We follow [Fli1992] and [GJR2001] closely, using the relative trace formula approach. Our main result is the existence of smooth transfer for the relative trace formulae in [GJR2001], which is circumvented there. The basic idea is to compute the Mellin transform of Shalika germ functions and show that they are equal in the unitary case and the general linear case.

description: Leveraging preclinical animal data for a phase I first-in-man trial is appealing yet challenging. A prior based on animal data may place large probability mass on values of the dose-toxicity model parameter(s), which appear infeasible in light of data accrued from the ongoing phase I clinical trial. In this paper, we seek to use animal data to improve decision making in a model-based dose-escalation procedure for phase I oncology trials. Specifically, animal data are incorporated via a robust mixture prior for the parameters of the dose-toxicity relationship. This prior changes dynamically as the trial progresses. After completion of treatment for each cohort, the weight allocated to the informative component, obtained based on animal data alone, is updated using a decision-theoretic approach to assess the commensurability of the animal data with the human toxicity data observed thus far. In particular, we measure commensurability as a function of the utility of optimal prior predictions for the human responses (toxicity or no toxicity) on each administered dose. The proposed methodology is illustrated through several examples and an extensive simulation study. Results show that our proposal can address difficulties in coping with prior-data conflict commencing in sequential trials with a small sample size.

description: Financial time series typically exhibit strong fluctuations that cannot be described by a Gaussian distribution. In recent empirical studies of stock market indices it was examined whether the distribution P(r) of returns r(tau) after some time tau can be described by a (truncated) Levy-stable distribution L_{alpha}(r) with some index 0 < alpha <= 2. While the Levy distribution cannot be expressed in a closed form, one can identify its parameters by testing the dependence of the central peak height on tau as well as the power-law decay of the tails. In an earlier study [Mantegna and Stanley, Nature 376, 46 (1995)] it was found that the behavior of the central peak of P(r) for the Standard & Poor 500 index is consistent with the Levy distribution with alpha=1.4. In a more recent study [Gopikrishnan et al., Phys. Rev. E 60, 5305 (1999)] it was found that the tails of P(r) exhibit a power-law decay with an exponent alpha ~= 3, thus deviating from the Levy distribution. In this paper we study the distribution of returns in a generic model that describes the dynamics of stock market indices. For the distributions P(r) generated by this model, we observe that the scaling of the central peak is consistent with a Levy distribution while the tails exhibit a power-law distribution with an exponent alpha > 2, namely beyond the range of Levy-stable distributions. Our results are in agreement with both empirical studies and reconcile the apparent disagreement between their results.

description: We revisit the rates of neutrino pair emission and absorption from nucleon-nucleon bremsstrahlung in supernova matter using the $T$-matrix formalism in the long-wavelength limit. Based on two-body potentials of chiral effective field theory ($χ$EFT), we solve the Lippmann-Schwinger equation for the $T$-matrix including non-diagonal contributions. We consider final-state Pauli blocking and hence our calculations are valid for nucleons with an arbitrary degree of degeneracy. We also explore the in-medium effects on the $T$-matrix and find that they are relatively small for supernova matter. We compare our results with one-pion exchange rates, commonly used in supernova simulations, and calculations using an effective on-shell diagonal $T$-matrix from measured phase shifts. We estimate that multiple-scattering effects and correlations due to the random phase approximation introduce small corrections on top of the $T$-matrix results at subsaturation densities. A numerical table of the structure function is provided that can be used in supernova simulations.

subject: novel fabrication technique

description: Due to the ever increasing electromagnetic density in our environments, the ability to manipulate radio signals is more important than ever. Specifically, the rise of IoT (internet of things) and 5G has opened up new avenues across various frequency ranges which highlights the need for techniques to control the bandwidth of structures. This thesis explores the use of metamaterials and Frequency Selective Surfaces (FSSs) to design passive, ultra-thin, flexible, broadband structures with unique electromagnetic properties. The research explores the design, modelling, fabrication, and measurement of several structures with different notchbands, with an emphasis on minimising the profile and controlling the bandwidth using passive techniques. A novel fabrication technique was developed to create small, conductive elements on an ultra-thin, flexible, and optically transparent substrate for use in both single and multilayered structures. Laser engraving was used to selectively remove a conductive layer from a dielectric substrate to create an array of conductive elements of prescribed geometry. This method allows for rapid prototyping of surfaces and incurs low fabrication costs, given the process and inexpensive materials used. A technique for bandwidth control of simple loop type bandstop FSSs is explored with the inclusion of additional elements within the same surface. This resulted in the creation of additional resonances resulting in both multiband and broadband responses. The pattern and orientation of an element array was explored, highlighting its importance on controlling the bandwidth, as well as introducing a polarisation dependant response. Further control, and an increase in the bandwidth of bandstop FSSs, were also explored by cascading additional surfaces to create multi-layered structures. These structures incorporated dual elements and a translation between layers to further improve the bandwidth and polarisation stability, with the ability to shift the resonant frequency. A complex, miniaturized element based on a convoluted square loop element was introduced, and was used in conjunction with the previously explored techniques to create a dual layer structure with dual element translated elements resulting in a -10dB fractional bandwidth (FBW) of 118% along with a frequency reduction of 70%. Ultra-thin and flexible reflection and transmission polarisers operating in the X-band were designed, and applied to structures to significantly increase the bandwidth, whilst minimising the profile of the structure, with the added benefit of being flexible and conformal to curved surfaces. These structures rotate the polarisation of the incident wave through the use of FSS layers and dielectric spacers, where the geometry of the FSS allowed for selection based on the polarisation of the incident wave.

description: The microstructure design of graphene based reinforcement is an effective route to obtain graphene/aluminum composites with good mechanical properties. In this study, alumina anchored on graphene nanosheets hybrid (Al2O3@GNS) was in situ synthesized by a sodium chloride template-assisted high-temperature calcination strategy. Al2O3@GNS was used as a reinforcement to fabricate aluminum matrix composites (Al2O3@GNS/Al) by flake powder metallurgy (FPM) route. It was found that Al2O3@GNS was homogenously distributed and a relatively obvious synergistic strengthening effect was acquired by employing Al2O3@GNS as reinforcement of the composites. ∼1.0 vol%-Al2O3@GNS/Al composite obtained the maximum tensile strength of 359 MPa, an ∼131.6% improvement superior to pure Al. The strengthening efficiency of Al2O3@GNS is higher than those reinforced by individual GNS, Al2O3 or its simple mixture. An elongation of 11.2% was achieved in the ∼ 1.0 vol%-Al2O3@GNS/Al composite, exhibiting a favorable strength-ductility synergy. The synergistic strengthening effect was attributed to the formation of an interlocked network of Al2O3@GNS, which was beneficial to improve the load transfer efficiency from the matrix to reinforcement in the composites.

description: This exegesis examines the processes used to produce a body of studio work that investigates how screen-based narratives and aesthetics function in relation to, and are able to question, political and cultural hegemony. The final outcome of the studio work – a feature-length screenplay called Shelf Life – has at its thematic core a focus on neoliberal ideology and its cultural manifestations, an exploration of the social exclusion that is a by-product of that phenomenon, and an examination of the emancipatory potential of the cinema. It looks at how a work can engage with, yet also challenge, mainstream modes of storytelling to counter their potentially soporific effects, which may work to obscure deeper counter readings. The screenplay embodies a bricolage of influences in its final incarnation, as different strategies were developed to deal with the interaction between content, form and conflicting ideologies. A process of iterative writing shifted the work from its beginnings as a narrative exploration of theme to focus on the interplay between aesthetics and ideology, and the ways in which aesthetic choices can contribute to a spectator’s active reading of the work. It finally culminated in an extensive process of improvisational writing, which aimed to shift how the work was engaged with, away from an unquestioned a priori reading to a less stable liminal reading to allow for a more mindful viewing experience.

description: We derive some of the axioms of the algebraic theory of anyon [A. Kitaev, Ann. Phys., 321, 2 (2006)] from a conjectured form of entanglement area law for two-dimensional gapped systems. We derive the fusion rules of topological charges and show that the multiplicities of the fusion rules satisfy these axioms. Moreover, even though we make no assumption about the exact value of the constant sub-leading term of the entanglement entropy of a disk-like region, this term is shown to be equal to $\ln \mathcal{D}$, where $\mathcal{D}$ is the total quantum dimension of the underlying anyon theory. These derivations are rigorous and follow from the entanglement area law alone. More precisely, our framework starts from two local entropic constraints, which are implied by the area law. From these constraints, we prove what we refer to as the "isomorphism theorem." The existence of superselection sectors and fusion multiplicities follows from this theorem, even without assuming anything about the parent Hamiltonian. These objects and the axioms of the anyon theory are shown to emerge from the structure and the internal self-consistency relations of the information convex sets.

A grammar of Kéo : an Austronesian language of East Nusantara
Creators: name: Baird, Louise
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2002

description: This dissertation is a grammatical description of the Austronesian language Keo. as spoken in the village of Udiworowatu in central Flores, eastern Indonesia. The language is unlike many previously described Austronesian languages became it is highly isolating. It has basic AVO/SV word order. Following an introduction to the language, its speakers and the area .in which it is spoken in Chapter 1, Chapter 2 describes the phonetics and phonology of Udiwotowatu Keo and Chapter 3 provides an overview of grammatical relations in Keo. Word classes are discussed in Chapters 4 and 5. Two supercategories of open and closed word classes can be identified for Keo. Membership into the open classes of noun and verb presents some problems in Keo due to the multifunctional nature of many words. These Problems are discussed in Chapter 4 which also provides criteria for membership of the word classes of noun and verb and their respective subclasses. Chapter 5 examines the closed classes that can be distinguished. Chapter 6 describes the extremely minimal morphological processes that occerin Keo. There is a single clitic. Reduplication has been borrowed from Indonesian/Malay and there is some compounding. Chapters 7, 8 and 9 explore primarily nominal parts of the language. Chapter 7 describes noun phrases. Possessive constructions are described in Chapter 8. Keo has two distinct system for counting, one using base four and the Other using base ten. These are examined in Chapter 9 where the classifier system used with numerals is also described. Clause types are identified on the basis of transitivity, with ambient, intransitive, transitive and ditransitive clauses distinguished, Ellipsis of arguments within clauses is very common in Keo and is discussed alongside clause types in Chapter 10. The variety of serial verb constructions found in Keo are described in Chapter 11. In Chapter 12 predicate modification is described. Topics covered include aspect and mood, reciprocals and reflexives and negation. The spatial orientation of referents and participants within discourse is highly salient in Keo. Prepositions, directionals and demonstratives all contribute to this, and they are described in Chapter 13. In Chapter 14 clause combining techniques are described. There are two primary ways .to join independent clauses: simple juxtaposition, and the use of conjunctions. There are two types of embedded clauses: complement clauses and relative clauses. Interrogative imperative constructions are described in Chapter 15. There are five appendices. Appendix A is a list of the texts that have been used in the preparation of this description. Appendix B provides a discussion of speech genres. Appendix C presents sample texts from several genres. The final two appendices are word lists Appendix D contains word lists giving equivalents in a number of different Keo dialects, while the Appendix E lists all the words used in the corpus.

description: The quantum oscillatory effect and superconductivity in a non-tetrachalcogenafulvalene (TCF) structure based organic superconductor beta-(BDA-TTP)_2SbF_6 are studied. Here the Shubnikov-de Haas effect (SdH) and angular dependent magnetoresistance oscillations (AMRO) are observed. The oscillation frequency associated with a cylindrical Fermi surface is found to be about 4050 tesla, which is also verified by the tunnel diode oscillator (TDO) measurement. The upper critical field Hc2 measurement in a tilted magnetic field and the TDO measurement in the mixed state reveal a highly anisotropic superconducting nature in this material. We compared physical properties of beta-(BDA-TTP)_2SbF_6 with typical TCF structure based quasi two-dimensional organic conductors. A notable feature of beta-(BDA-TTP)_2SbF_6 superconductor is a large value of effective cyclotron mass m_c^*=12.4+/1.1 m_e, which is the largest yet found in an organic superconductor. A possible origin of the enhanced effective mass and its relation to the superconductivity are briefly discussed.

 Type locality: Arraial do Cabo, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Description: Cormus formed of large, irregular and loosely anastomosed tubes, with several oscula. No water-collecting tubes are present (Fig. 5A).
The skeleton has no special organization, comprising equiangular and equiradiate triactines only (Fig. 5B). Actines are cylindrical and characteristically undulated at the distal part. Their tips are always rounded.
This species has a sciaphilous habitat and lives in areas protected from the action of waves. It is frequently found on the roofs of small caves or inside crevices.
 Remarks: Clathrina aurea is very similar to its sibling C. clathrus from the Mediterranean. Both species are yellow and have only triactines with undulated actines and rounded tips.

 Colour: Living specimens have a clathrate gold yellow cormus, which becomes beige when preserved.
 very low levels of genetic identity were found between them, indicating the absence of gene flow. Consequently, both populations are considered distinct species. Although morphologically similar, some differences could be recognized between specimens of each population after the genetic study. The spicules of C. aurea are always shorter than those of C. clathrus (92 Mm (± 7 Mm)/6 Mm (± 1 Mm)). Moreover, the organization of the cormus in both species is different. While C. aurea has several oscula spread through the tubes, C. clathrus has water-collecting tubes. They also differ in another less evident characteristic: in C. clathrus the tip of the actines is more rounded than it is in C. aurea. However, in order to use this character to distinguish between the two species, it is necessary to simultaneously compare examples of both.

description: Human achievements are often preceded by repeated attempts that initially fail, yet little is known about the mechanisms governing the dynamics of failure. Here, building on the rich literature on innovation, human dynamics and learning, we develop a simple one-parameter model that mimics how successful future attempts build on those past. Analytically solving this model reveals a phase transition that separates dynamics of failure into regions of stagnation or progression, predicting that near the critical threshold, agents who share similar characteristics and learning strategies may experience fundamentally different outcomes following failures. Below the critical point, we see those who explore disjoint opportunities without a pattern of improvement, and above it, those who exploit incremental refinements to systematically advance toward success. The model makes several empirically testable predictions, demonstrating that those who eventually succeed and those who do not may be initially similar, yet are characterized by fundamentally distinct failure dynamics in terms of the efficiency and quality of each subsequent attempt. We collected large-scale data from three disparate domains, tracing repeated attempts by (i) NIH investigators to fund their research, (ii) innovators to successfully exit their startup ventures, and (iii) terrorist organizations to post casualties in violent attacks, finding broadly consistent empirical support across all three domains. Together, our findings unveil identifiable yet previously unknown early signals that allow us to identify failure dynamics that will lead to ultimate victory or defeat. Given the ubiquitous nature of failures and the paucity of quantitative approaches to understand them, these results represent a crucial step toward deeper understanding of the complex dynamics beneath failures, the essential prerequisites for success.

description: This paper extends the work of Clarke [1] on the Bayesian foundations of the biomagnetic inverse problem. It derives expressions for the expectation and variance of the a posteriori source current probability distribution given a prior source current probability distribution, a source space weight function and a data set. The calculation of the variance enables the construction of a Bayesian test for the appropriateness of any source model that is chosen as the a priori infomation. The test is illustrated using both simulated (multi-dipole) data and the results of a study of early latency processing of images of human faces. [1] C.J.S. Clarke.

An exploratory study of foreign accent and phonological awareness in Korean learners of English

subject: Second language acquisition

description: Communication in a second or multiple languages has become essential in the globalized world. However, acquiring a second language (L2) after a critical period is universally acknowledged to be challenging (Lenneberg, 1967). Late learners hardly reach a nativelike level in L2, particularly in its pronunciation, and their incomplete phonological acquisition is manifested by a foreign accent—a common and persistent feature of otherwise fluent L2 speech. Although foreign-accented speech is widespread, it has been a target of social constraints in L2-speaking communities, causing many learners and instructors to seek out ways to reduce foreign accents. Accordingly, research in L2 speech has unceasingly examined various learner-external and learner-internal factors of the occurrence of foreign accents as well as nonnative speech characteristics underlying the judgment of the degree of foreign accents. The current study aimed to expand the understanding of the characteristics and judgments of foreign accents by investigating phonological awareness, a construct pertinent to learners’ phonological knowledge, which has received little attention in research on foreign accents. The current study was exploratory and non-experimental research that targeted 40 adults with Korean-accented English living in the United States. The study first examined how 23 raters speaking American English as their native language detect, perceive, describe, and rate Korean-accented English. Through qualitative and quantitative analyses of the accent perception data, the study identified various phonological and phonetic deviations from the nativelike sounds, which largely result from the influence of first language (Korean) on L2 (English). The study then probed the relationship between foreign accents and learners’ awareness of the phonological system of L2, which was measured using production, perception, and verbalization tasks that tapped into the knowledge of L2 phonology. The study found a significant inverse relationship between the degree of a foreign accent and phonological awareness, particularly implicit knowledge of L2 segmentals. Further in-depth analyses revealed that explicit knowledge of L2 phonology alone was not sufficient for targetlike pronunciation. Findings suggest that L2 speakers experience varying degrees of difficulty in perceiving and producing different L2 segmentals, possibly resulting in foreign-accented speech.
