Thoughts on grammaticalization

description: "Thoughts on grammaticalization" was first published in a working-paper version in 1982 and became very influential immediately, even though it was properly published only in 1995. Despite its modest title, the book can be read as an advanced introduction to grammaticalization, though its conception is very original. The present edition contains a number of corrections of the 1995 edition. After a short review of the history of research, the work introduces and delimits the concepts related to grammaticalization. It then provides extensive exemplification of grammaticalization phenomena in diverse languages, ordered by grammatical domains such as the verbal, pronominal and nominal sphere and clause level relations. The final chapter presents a theory of grammaticalization which is based on the autonomy of the linguistic sign with respect to the paradigmatic and syntagmatic axes. This is the basis of the structural parameters that constitute grammaticalization. They are operationalized to the point of rendering degrees of grammaticalization measurable.
Birth Control and the Good Life in America, 1900-1940

description: This dissertation examines the roots of birth control's legitimacy in the United States. Americans were early adopters of fertility control: between 1790 and 1940, the average number of children born into U.S. families fell from seven to around two. During this period there were no major advances in contraceptive technology and very few outspoken advocates for reproductive rights. What changed were Americans' intimate ideas about the place of childrearing in a good life. The study uses letters, press items, and philanthropic field reports from the early twentieth century--when birthrates and birth control first became major civic issues in the U.S.--to uncover that transition, which has long perplexed scholars. Rather than focusing on the role of vocal activists or socioeconomic change, the dissertation emphasizes the changing "moral economy" of childbearing, as perceived by Americans addressing their own views and those of their peers and forebearers. It shows how economic calculations surrounding childbearing were embedded in matrices of morally-mediated ideas about progress, nature, God, and health--and how shifts in those ideas gave rise to a private, grassroots consensus which gradually nullified all attempts to make birth control illegal or taboo. The analysis pays special attention to the role of ideas about time. Birth control gained legitimacy, first, as Americans became progressively less concerned with eternal chains of being and more with the material present; and second, as they reevaluated birth control's place in history, impressionistically reframing a marker of collective decadence as a sign of individual modernity. Seeing the birth control movement through these Americans' eyes--as a quiet, gradual, furtive movement of living women (and men) who were not necessarily outspoken, feminist, or even civically active--helps us understand Americans' reproductive interests as they understood them, and the potential connections of everyday moral action to lasting historical consequence.

description: The Energy Materials In-Situ Laboratory Berlin (EMIL) at BESSY-II is currently under construction. Two canted undulators for soft- and hard X-rays will be installed into the BESSY II storage ring in one straight section, complex beamlines with more than twenty optical elements will be set up and a new laboratory building attached to BESSY II will host three endstations and a large UHV-transfer system connecting various HV- and UHV-deposition systems. The undulators, UE48 and U17, provide a broad energy spectrum of 80 - 10000 eV, of which the harder radiation (>700 eV) is provided by a cryogenic in- vacuum device. Three monochromators (two plane grating monochromators (PGM) and one LN2-cooled double crystal monochromator (DCM)) disperse the radiation into separate pathways of 65 m length, while downstream of the monochromators split-mirror chambers distribute the photon beam to one (or simultaneously to two) of five upcoming endstations. Three of these endstations are designed for the full energy range with spatial overlap of the soft and hard foci, whereas one endstation (PEEM) uses only the soft and another one (PINK) only the hard branch, respectively.

description: The ground state of the two-dimensional three-band Hubbard model in oxide superconductors is investigated by using the variational Monte Carlo method. The Gutzwiller-projected BCS and spin- density wave (SDW) functions are employed in the search for a possible ground state with respect to dependences on electron density. Antiferromagnetic correlations are considerably enhanced near half-filling. It is shown that the d-wave state may exist away from half-filling for both the hole and electron doping cases. The overall structure of the phase diagram obtained by the calculations qualitatively agrees with experimental indications. The superconducting condensation energy is in reasonable agreement with the experimental value obtained from specific heat and critical magnetic field measurements for optimally doped samples. The inhomogeneous SDW state is also examined near 1/8-hole doping.

description: A common problem in a high energy physics experiment is extracting a signal from a much larger background. Posed as a classification task, there is said to be an imbalance in the number of samples belonging to the signal class versus the number of samples from the background class. In this work we provide a brief overview of class imbalance techniques in a high energy physics setting. Two case studies are presented: (1) the measurement of the longitudinal polarization fraction in same-sign $WW$ scattering, and (2) the decay of the Higgs boson to charm-quark pairs.

description: The study of quantum phase transitions, which are zero-temperature phase transitions between distinct states of matter, is of current interest in research since it allows for a description of low-temperature properties based on universal relations. Here we show that the crystal green dioptase Cu_6Si_6O_18 . 6H_2O, known to the ancient Roman as the gem of Venus, has a magnetic crystal structure, formed by the Cu(II) ions, which allows for a quantum phase transition between an antiferromagnetically ordered state and a quantum spin liquid.

description: Axion is a hypothetical elementary particle which was initially postulated to solve the charge conjugation-parity problem in particle physics. Interestingly, the axion state has emerged in effective theory of topological insulators and has attracted extensive attention in condensed matter physics. Time-reversal or inversion symmetry constrains the axion field $θ$ to be quantized. When both the time-reversal and inversion symmetries are broken by, say, an antiferromagnetic order, the axion field $θ$ could become unquantized and dynamical along with magnetic fluctuations, which is termed the dynamical axion field. Here, we reveal that a wide class of topological-insulator-based dynamical axion states could be distinguished from the normal-insulator-based ones by a hidden quantity derived from the pseudospin Chern number. Motivated by recent research on MnBi$_{2}$Te$_{4}$-family materials, we further show that such topological-insulator-based dynamical axion states can be hopefully achieved in MnBi$_{2}$Te$_{4}$-based heterostructures, which should greatly facilitate the study of axion electrodynamics in condensed matter physics.

Our calculation is based on a scattering-matrix approach, which concerns for wave-function localisation in the normal metal, and extends beyond the conventional semiclassical theory based on Usadel and Eilenberger equations. We also analyse how a finite transparency of the NS interface modifies the spectral proximity effect and demonstrate that our results agree in the dirty diffusive limit with those obtained from the Usadel equation.

description: This thesis examines the role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in improving the livelihoods and employment opportunities of refugees. The ongoing Syrian refugee crisis is considered not only as a humanitarian crisis, but through the lens of human rights. “Bits of Life” argues that improving the livelihoods of refugees is in accordance with refugees’ rights to work, based on the International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights and the 1951 Refugee Convention. Furthermore, this thesis explores how access to reliable and affordable Internet serves as a crucial tool to help fulfill refugees’ efforts to obtain independent employment and economic security. Although access to the Internet has not yet been recognized as a basic human right, it plays a significant role in fulfilling refugees’ rights to freedom of expression and their rights to development. Issues surrounding the availability and utility of Internet access among refugees also raise important concerns regarding the right to privacy. By surveying existing technology-based humanitarian livelihood programs, notably Iraq Re:Coded, “Bits of Life” analyzes the successes and failures of existing initiatives and offers recommendations to improve the adaptability and effectiveness of future applications of ICTs in the field of refugees’ rights and livelihoods.

description: Although real materials are finite in size, electronic structure theory is built on the assumption of infinitely large solid, which led to a longstanding controversy: where is the vacuum level? Here, we introduce an analytic real-space potential-unfolding approach to uncover the vacuum level in infinitely large solid. First-principles calculations show that, in the absence of a physical surface, the bulk band structure, often measured with respect to an average bulk potential, is offset by a hereto unknown and orientation-dependent bulk quadrupole with respect to the vacuum level. By identifying intrinsic contributions of a bulk solid to its surface and interface properties, our theory eliminates the ambiguities surrounding the physical origin of the band alignment between matters.

description: Water oxidation by cyanobacteria, algae, and plants is pivotal in oxygenic photosynthesis, the process that powers life on Earth, and is the paradigm for engineering solar fuel–production systems. Each complete reaction cycle of photosynthetic water oxidation requires the removal of four electrons and four protons from the catalytic site, a manganese–calcium complex and its protein environment in photosystem II. In time-resolved photothermal beam deflection experiments, we monitored apparent volume changes of the photosystem II protein associated with charge creation by light-induced electron transfer (contraction) and charge-compensating proton relocation (expansion). Two previously invisible proton removal steps were detected, thereby filling two gaps in the basic reaction-cycle model of photosynthetic water oxidation. In the S2 → S3 transition of the classical S-state cycle, an intermediate is formed by deprotonation clearly before electron transfer to the oxidant (Graphic). The rate-determining elementary step (τ, approximately 30 µs at 20 °C) in the long-distance proton relocation toward the protein–water interface is characterized by a high activation energy (Ea = 0.46 ± 0.05 eV) and strong H/D kinetic isotope effect (approximately 6). The characteristics of a proton transfer step during the S0 → S1 transition are similar (τ, approximately 100 µs; Ea = 0.34 ± 0.08 eV; kinetic isotope effect, approximately 3); however, the proton removal from the Mn complex proceeds after electron transfer to Graphic. By discovery of the transient formation of two further intermediate states in the reaction cycle of photosynthetic water oxidation, a temporal sequence of strictly alternating removal of electrons and protons from the catalytic site is established.
Robust Visual Tracking Using Dynamic Classifier Selection with Sparse Representation of Label Noise

description: Recently a category of tracking methods based on "tracking-by-detection" is widely used in visual tracking problem. Most of these methods update the classifier online using the samples generated by the tracker to handle the appearance changes. However, the self-updating scheme makes these methods suffer from drifting problem because of the incorrect labels of weak classifiers in training samples. In this paper, we split the class labels into true labels and noise labels and model them by sparse representation. A novel dynamic classifier selection method, robust to noisy training data, is proposed. Moreover, we apply the proposed classifier selection algorithm to visual tracking by integrating a part based online boosting framework. We have evaluated our proposed method on 12 challenging sequences involving severe occlusions, significant illumination changes and large pose variations. Both the qualitative and quantitative evaluations demonstrate that our approach tracks objects accurately and robustly and outperforms state-of-the-art trackers.

description: Black Capitol investigates the persistence of racial inequality in the federal legislative workforce. I frame the existence of racial inequality in Congress not as an outgrowth of certain racist members of Congress, but as a defining characteristic of the institution. I analyze how these disparities are produced by and through an institutional structure formed by race. This leads me to offer the concept of Congress as a raced political institution. I use the term raced political institution to mean institutions, organized for the purposes of government, in which race is embedded in the organizational structure, and is a determining factor of how labor and space is organized on the formal level. In addition, I use the term to informally capture how perceptions of power influence identity construction, interactions, and culture.  I build on scholarship from critical race theorists, to argue that Congress is a seminal institution in the American racial state, responsible for structuring race and inequality in American society.  From the perspective of Black legislative staff, who currently or previously worked in the Capitol, I assess how the congressional workforce is stratified, how physical space is segregated, and how interactions and identities are racialized. I employ a mixed methods approach, including over 70 semi-structured interviews with current and former legislative employees, archival research, and ethnographic observations of the staff organizations. This analysis contributes to a wide range of scholarly conversations about citizenship, representation, democracy, and bureaucracy. More broadly, this work raises important questions about the distribution of power in the American political system and how inequality in Congress reverberates off of Capitol Hill.

description: The liquid marble is a small liquid droplet coated with a thin layer of hydrophobic powder. This seemingly simple object challenges our state-of-the-art knowledge in physics, surface sciences and microfluidics. As such, liquid marbles have been the subject of numerous research works throughout the past two decades. A liquid marble consists of two components, namely the liquid content and the marble coating. The liquid content is usually an aqueous solution, whereas the coating consists of various types of fine hydrophobic powder. The porous powder coating traps air and physically isolates the liquid content from its surroundings. A liquid marble behaves like a soft solid due to the unique combination of a liquid content and a flexible solid shell. These features allow a liquid marble to transport small volumes of liquid with virtually zero loss and even to float on a carrier liquid. Recent advances in liquid marble research have provided various manipulation techniques with a wide range of applications. One of the most prominent recent applications is the three-dimensional (3D) cell culture within a liquid marble. The liquid marble presents a simple, flexible and economic means for culturing 3D tissues such as spheroids. The ability to float increases the effective lifespan and mobility of a liquid marble. On the other hand, the marble coating has been undergoing major improvements thanks to continuous engineering efforts. Recent advances allow for new manipulation techniques and further enhance the application potential of liquid marbles.

description: On a two-dimensional planar parity-time-($\mathcal{PT}$-)symmetric nonlinear magnetic metamaterial, consisting of split-ring dimers with balanced gain and loss, discrete breather solutions can be found. We extend these studies and by numerical calculations reveal the existence of further stable, long-lived oscillations, with certain frequencies, in the breather spectrum. We describe these oscillations in terms of an analytical breather theory, and show that they can be interpreted as superpositions of a breather oscillation and a plane wave. We coin the term `hybrid breather' solutions for these solutions.

description: Objectives:Adolescent deep neck space infection is an important pathology that often requires hospitalization for antimicrobial therapy. The aim of the study was to identify the inciting organisms and their resistance profiles in the adolescent population of patients with deep neck space infection. Methods We performed a single-centre cross-sectional retrospective analysis of patients between 10 and 16 years of age, with deep neck space infections.Results:From the 319 cases of deep neck space infections that presented over the study period, nine patients met the criteria to be included in the study. The mean age being 11.8 years.The microbiology of the specimens revealed mainly Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species and in some patients microscopy and culture showed no predominant bacteria. There was an overall 86% resistance of organisms to penicillin and ampicillin but most organisms were sensitive to amoxicillin-clavulanic acidConclusion:Deep neck space infections in adolescents can initially be managed with amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, source control and surgical drainage if required. Culture directed therapy can be initiated after microbiology results. The spaces involved are similar to adults with 44% of patients having deep neck abscess secondary odontogenic infection.The microbiology however is similar to that of children with Streptococcus and staphylococcus species being the most predominant.

description: We propose a generalization of Bailey's lemma, useful for proving $q$-series identities. As an application, generalizations of Euler's identity, the Rogers-Ramanujan identities, and the Andrews-Gordon identities are derived. This generalized Bailey lemma also allows one to derive identities for the branching functions of higher-level $A^{(1)}_1$ cosets.

description: Understanding ultrafast coherent electron dynamics is necessary for application of a single-electron source to metrological standards, quantum information processing, including electron quantum optics, and quantum sensing. While the dynamics of an electron emitted from the source has been extensively studied, there is as yet no study of the dynamics inside the source. This is because the speed of the internal dynamics is typically higher than 100 GHz, beyond state-of-the-art experimental bandwidth. Here, we theoretically and experimentally demonstrate that the internal dynamics in a silicon singleelectron source comprising a dynamic quantum dot can be detected, utilising a resonant level with which the dynamics is read out as gate-dependent current oscillations. Our experimental observation and simulation with realistic parameters show that an electron wave packet spatially oscillates quantum-coherently at $\sim$ 200 GHz inside the source. Our results will lead to a protocol for detecting such fast dynamics in a cavity and offer a means of engineering electron wave packets. This could allow high-accuracy current sources, high-resolution and high-speed electromagnetic-field sensing, and high-fidelity initialisation of flying qubits.

A multiscale model for Rayleigh-Taylor and Richtmyer-Meshkov instabilities

description: We develop a novel multiscale model of interface motion for the Rayleigh-Taylor instability (RTI) and Richtmyer-Meshkov instability (RMI) for two-dimensional, inviscid, compressible flows with vorticity, which yields a fast-running numerical algorithm that produces both qualitatively and quantitatively similar results to a resolved gas dynamics code, while running approximately two orders of magnitude (in time) faster. Our multiscale model is founded upon a new compressible-incompressible decomposition of the velocity field $u=v+w$. The incompressible component $w$ of the velocity is also irrotational and is solved using a new asymptotic model of the Birkhoff-Rott singular integral formulation of the incompressible Euler equations, which reduces the problem to one spatial dimension. This asymptotic model, called the higher-order $z$-model, is derived using small nonlocality as the asymptotic parameter, allows for interface turn-over and roll-up, and yields a significant simplification for the equation describing the evolution of the amplitude of vorticity. This incompressible component $w$ of the velocity controls the small scale structures of the interface and can be solved efficiently on fine grids. Meanwhile, the compressible component of the velocity $v$ remains continuous near contact discontinuities and can be computed on relatively coarse grids, while receiving subgrid scale information from $w$. We first validate the incompressible higher-order $z$-model by comparison with classical RTI experiments as well as full point vortex simulations. We then consider both the RTI and the RMI problems for our multiscale model of compressible flow with vorticity, and show excellent agreement with our high-resolution gas dynamics solutions.

description: The total expenditure on bridge maintenance/rehabilitation and improvement for the year 2010-11 in Australia was AUD1.2 billion. This was a 67% rise in ten years. The efficient use of public funds for the structural integrity of bridge networks requires an effective bridge asset management technology. For effective asset management, many bridge authorities have implemented Bridge Information System (BIS) or Bridge Management System (BMS) to manage their routine inspection information. The success of a BMS is highly dependent on the quality of bridge inspection results and accurate estimation of future bridge condition ratings. To ensure such successful outcome, a BMS must (1) contains reliable, consistent and accurate condition data from routine bridge inspections; and (2) encompasses a reliable deterioration modelling that overcomes the shortcomings of lacking historical bridge inspection records. However, without consistent and accurate bridge condition data, reliable BMS outcomes would not be expected regardless of superiority of asset management techniques. Although current routine bridge inspections are required to be carried out by certified inspectors to provide condition assessment, several limitations have been identified as demonstrated in published literatures. They include: (1) visual inspections are subjective and not always reliable; (2) entire manual process is costly and time-consuming; (3) a number of safety risks are associated with filed inspectors; (4) inspection requires experienced and highly trained personnel – now most bridge authorities are facing the issue of shortage of required level of inspectors.
