description: This dissertation examines how a contested musical practice makes the problems of modernity in India audible. In particular, I look at the relationship between South Indian "fusion" musicians and India's recent economic and cultural growth attributed to the economic reforms of 1991. Fusion is the local name for a musical practice that combines South Indian classical music with elements from rock, jazz, and world music. During thirteen months of ethnographic fieldwork carried out in the South Indian city of Chennai between 2006-8, I attended countless concerts, interviewed dozens of people involved with musical production, and performed with musicians. I observed how musicians and audiences perpetuated the idea that fusion was contested and I documented the local debates that often expressed a deep uncertainty and ambiguity about the legitimacy of fusion. What can a contested musical practice reveal about the recent economic and cultural changes in contemporary urban India? Fusion is contested because its multiple and contradicting histories, definitions, and opinions make it a unique musical problem in Chennai. This problem is further complicated when the explicit intension of fusion as musical mixing is also understood as an example of persistent debates of cultural mixing that are so crucial to India's colonial history and postcolonial present. In this dissertation, I show how fusion triggers debates that provide a unique constellation of irresolvable tensions that help situate contemporary, urban, South Indian musicians within the changing relations between India and the West. The contestation about fusion has led to a lacuna of critical scholarship that this dissertation remedies. I argue that rather than being a reason to overlook fusion, fusion's contestation loads it with meaning and makes it a rich, unexamined site of expressive culture. It provides a unique domain to understand how musicians in Chennai represent the always-changing relations of India and the West through their discourse about music and musical sound.
Exact Wavefunction in a Noncommutative Dipole Field Theory

description: The nonrelativistic case of noncommutative scalar dipole field theory with quartic interaction on a two-dimensional spacetime is analyzed. As there are two parameters in the general quartic interaction we try a way to find their relation. To do this we first investigate the formulation of the quantum mechanics for a particle carrying the noncommutative dipole. We point out a problem therein and propose a possible method to solve it. We use this prescription to determined the quartic interaction term in the field theory once the noncommutative dipole is turned on. The two particle Schrödinger equation is then solved and the exact wavefunction of the bound state and associated spectrum are found. It is seen that the wavefunction has three center positions in the relative coordinates and the separation of the center is equal to the dipole length $L$ of the dipole field, exhibiting the nature of the noncommutative dipole field.

description: Like many other countries in Africa, Somalia suffers from a gap with respect to other countries in the world for what concerns openness of research and visibility of research outputs. Research outputs produced by local universities and research institutions are not adequately showcased to interested communities and citizens outside academic institutions and this has negatively branded the local institutions as in-competent to produce any form of research contents. As an example, printed copies of students' theses and dissertations are usually archived inside the university and nobody is basically able to see them after the defending day. In order to overcome this problem and bridge the above-mentioned gaps, the Somali National Research and Education Network (SomaliREN), which gathers 20 universities and research institutions from all over the country, is developing a program based on three strategic pillars: connectivity, community, and content. Under the latter, SomaliREN has launched an initiative to deploy a centralized open access multi-institutional digital repository, and the Somali Research and Education Repository (SORER) has recently come online. SORER has been installed in collaboration with experts from the University of Catania, Italy, and the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN). It is a scalable, standard-based, FAIR principle and Plan S compliant repository meant to promote and enable the Open Science paradigm in the country. The digital asset management system is based on Invenio and Zenodo, with some add-ons developed by INFN, allows persistent identification of contents, through DataCite digital object identifiers, for easy discovery and citation of research products stored as well as for a direct link to the ORCID profiles of their authors, sports an OAI-PMH compliant endpoint, for easy harvesting of metadata from aggregators and search engines, and supports federated authentication, for an easy configuration of the repository as a Service Provider of an Identity Federation. In this contribution, we would like to share with all the participants the motivations that drove the creation of SORER for the uptake of Open Science practices in Somalia, its current status and future plans – towards the certification of the archive and the establishment of a national open access policy - as well as to discuss the opportunities of collaboration with universities/organizations belonging to the WACREN region willing/planning to install FAIR compliant digital repositories at their premises. Collaboration may include technical support for the deployment and/or training on administration/use of the repository.

description: The properties of the Das-Popowicz Moyal momentum algebra that we introduce in hep-th/0207242 are reexamined in details and used to discuss some aspects of integrable models and 2d conformal field theories. Among the results presented, we setup some useful convention notations which lead to extract some non trivial properties of the Moyal momentum algebra. We use the particular sub-algebra sl(n)-{Sigma}_{n}^{(0,n)} to construct the sl(2)-Liouville conformal model and its sl(3)-Toda extension. We show also that the central charge, a la Feigin-Fuchs, associated to the spin-2 conformal current of the (theta)-Liouville model is given by c(theta)=1+24.theta^{2}. Moreover, the results obtained for the Das-Popowicz Mm algebra are applied to study systematically some properties of the Moyal KdV and Boussinesq hierarchies generalizing some known results. We discuss also the primarity condition of conformal $w_θ$-currents and interpret this condition as being a dressing gauge symmetry in the Moyal momentum space. Some computations related to the dressing gauge group are explicitly presented.

Théophile de Viau and the Poetics of Noise Control under Louis XIII
Creators: name: Welch, Ellen
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: During his short career as a court poet, Theophile de Viau (1590–1626) was three times exiled and once jailed. Huguenot by birth, allied to the Protestant Comte de Candale, and associated with the epicurean philosopher Lucilio Vanini (himself condemned to death), Viau first earned banishment in 1619 for authoring libels against Louis XIII’s favoured minister the Duc de Luynes. After writing himself back into the king’s graces, he was briefly sent away again in 1621 for writing scandalous poetry. Finally, in 1623, he was arrested and charged with blasphemy for poems anonymously published in the collective volume, Le Parnasse des poe`tes satyriques, the previous year. Copies of the book, along with an effigy of the poet, were burned in the Place de Gre`ve, the infamous Parisian site of executions. Finally, after a prolonged trial, Viau escaped the death penalty but was ordered to leave France. Complex court politics and shifting attitudes towards libertine writers contributed to Viau’s peripatetic career. Yet, throughout this period the poet himself repeatedly blamed his troubles on an inanimate force: bruit or noise. His defence in court criticized the authority of the prosecution’s witnesses, complaining ‘qu’ilz ne parlent que de ouy dire, par bruict commun’ — an everyday metaphor indicating rumour or hearsay. Famously, Jean Bodin had sanctioned ‘bruict commun’ as one of the best pieces of evidence for condemning witches. But Viau challenged its epistemological and juridical status. Those who condemned his poetry had not read it but instead based their judgement on what they had heard about it. He had not even written some of the poems included as evidence of his offence against God; ill-informed chatter had attributed them to his pen. Viau extended this defence beyond the courtroom and into the sphere of print. In the preface to the second volume of his complete works, rushed out in 1623 before it too could be banned, he lamented again that ‘les mauvais et les faux bruits ont rendu les meilleures actions scandaleuses a` tout le monde’. In his own rhetoric, Viau depicts himself as a victim, not of an oppressive political regime or of religious persecution, but of rumour and misinformation — the early modern equivalent of ‘fake news’.
Congestion Pricing: A Step Toward Safer Streets? Examining the Relationship Between Urban Core Congestion Pricing and Safety on City Streets

description: This thesis explores cordon-style urban core congestion pricing as a street safety mechanism. With a handful of cities around the world having implemented different versions of cordon-style pricing, and conversations about street safety growing through the increasing adoption of Vision Zero in the United States and Europe, is there a nexus between these two policies? This research examines case studies of congestion pricing in London, Stockholm and New York; and assesses the relationship, both real and perceived, that is present in each city and in the literature between pricing and safety. It finds that safety is largely absent from the discourse of congestion pricing. But the presence of academic literature demonstrating significant safety benefits from pricing, as well as an understanding among some media and planning professionals that congestion pricing can be implemented in pursuance of safety ends, presents the opportunity for a variety of policy and implementation strategies that could move transportation policy frameworks simultaneously in the direction of both congestion pricing and street safety. This thesis concludes by proposing that safety be integrated into the discourse of congestion pricing, and that congestion pricing be considered for implementation as a Vision Zero policy.
The Explicit Sato-Tate Conjecture For Primes In Arithmetic Progressions

description: Let $τ(n)$ be Ramanujan's tau function, defined by the discriminant modular form \[ Δ(z) = q\prod_{j=1}^{\infty}(1-q^{j})^{24}\ =\ \sum_{n=1}^{\infty}τ(n) q^n \,,q=e^{2πi z} \] (this is the unique holomorphic normalized cuspidal newform of weight 12 and level 1). Lehmer's conjecture asserts that $τ(n)\neq 0$ for all $n\geq 1$; since $τ(n)$ is multiplicative, it suffices to study primes $p$ for which $τ(p)$ might possibly be zero. Assuming standard conjectures for the twisted symmetric power $L$-functions associated to $τ$ (including GRH), we prove that if $x\geq 10^{50}$, then \[ \#\{x < p\leq 2x: τ(p) = 0\} \leq 1.22 \times 10^{-5} \frac{x^{3/4}}{\sqrt{\log x}},\] a substantial improvement on the implied constant in previous work. To achieve this, under the same hypotheses, we prove an explicit version of the Sato-Tate conjecture for primes in arithmetic progressions.

description: Cardiometabolic disease characterized by obesity, glucose intolerance, dyslipidemia, and atherosclerotic
cardiovascular disease remain an important cause of mortality. Evidence using mouse models of obesity and insulin resistance
indicates that Rap1 deficiency increases proatherogenic PCSK9 and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and
predisposes these mice to develop obesity- and statin-induced hyperglycemia, which highlights Rap1’s role in cardiometabolic
dysfunction. Rap1 may also contribute to cardiovascular disease through its effects on vascular wall cells involved in
the atherosclerosis progression.

description: This paper describes several optimization techniques used to create an adequate route network graph for autonomous cars as a map reference for driving on German autobahn or similar highway tracks. We have taken the Route Network Definition File Format (RNDF) specified by DARPA and identified multiple flaws of the RNDF for creating digital maps for autonomous vehicles. Thus, we introduce various enhancements to it to form a digital map graph called RNDFGraph, which is well suited to map almost any urban transportation infrastructure. We will also outline and show results of fast optimizations to reduce the graph size. The RNDFGraph has been used for path-planning and trajectory evaluation by the behavior module of our two autonomous cars “Spirit of Berlin” and “MadeInGermany”. We have especially tuned the graph to map structured high speed environments such as autobahns where we have tested autonomously hundreds of kilometers under real traffic conditions.
Noncommutative relativistic particle on the electromagnetic background

description: Noncommutative version of D-dimensional relativistic particle is proposed. We consider the particle interacting with the configuration space variable $θ^{μν}(τ)$ instead of the numerical matrix. The corresponding Poincare invariant action has a local symmetry, which allows one to impose the gauge $θ^{0i}=0, ~ θ^{ij}=const$. The matrix $θ^{ij}$ turns out to be the noncommutativity parameter of the gauge fixed formulation. Poincare transformations of the gauge fixed formulation are presented in the manifest form. Consistent coupling of NC relativistic particle to the electromagnetic field is constructed and discussed.

description: We propose a graph-based approach to 5d superconformal field theories (SCFTs) based on their realization as M-theory compactifications on singular elliptic Calabi--Yau threefolds. Field-theoretically, these 5d SCFTs descend from 6d $\mathcal{N}=(1,0)$ SCFTs by circle compactification and mass deformations. We derive a description of these theories in terms of graphs, so-called Combined Fiber Diagrams, which encode salient features of the partially resolved Calabi--Yau geometry, and provides a combinatorial way of characterizing all 5d SCFTs that descend from a given 6d theory. Remarkably, these graphs manifestly capture strongly coupled data of the 5d SCFTs, such as the superconformal flavor symmetry, BPS states, and mass deformations. The capabilities of this approach are demonstrated by deriving all rank one and rank two 5d SCFTs. The full potential, however, becomes apparent when applied to theories with higher rank. Starting with the higher rank conformal matter theories in 6d, we are led to the discovery of previously unknown flavor symmetry enhancements and new 5d SCFTs.

description: Objective: Question prompt lists (QPLs) have been effective at increasing patient involvement and question asking in medical appointments, which is critical for shared decision making. We investigated whether pre-visit preparation (PVP), including a QPL, would increase question asking among caregivers of pediatric patients with undiagnosed, suspected genetic conditions. Methods: Caregivers were randomized to receive the PVP before their appointment (n = 59) or not (control, n = 53). Appointments were audio-recorded. Transcripts were analyzed to determine questions asked. Results: Caregivers in the PVP group asked more questions (MeanPVP = 4.36, SDPVP = 4.66 vs. Meancontrol = 2.83, SDcontrol = 3.03, p = 0.045), including QPL questions (MeanPVP = 1.05, SDPVP = 1.39 vs. Meancontrol = 0.36, SDcontrol = 0.81, p = 0.002). Caregivers whose child had insurance other than Medicaid in the PVP group asked more total and QPL questions than their counterparts in the control group (ps = 0.005 and 0.002); there was no intervention effect among caregivers of children with Medicaid or no insurance (ps = 0.775 and 0.166). Conclusion: The PVP increased question asking but worked less effectively among traditionally underserved groups. Additional interventions, including provider-focused efforts, may be needed to promote engagement of underserved patients. Practice implications: Patient/family-focused interventions may not be beneficial for all populations. Providers should be aware of potential implicit and explicit biases and encourage question asking to promote patient/family engagement.

description: With ChatGPT's release, conversational prompting has become the most popular form of human-LLM interaction. However, its effectiveness is limited for more complex tasks involving reasoning, creativity, and iteration. Through a systematic analysis of HCI papers published since 2021, we identified four key phases in the human-LLM interaction flow - planning, facilitating, iterating, and testing - to precisely understand the dynamics of this process. Additionally, we have developed a taxonomy of four primary interaction modes: Mode 1: Standard Prompting, Mode 2: User Interface, Mode 3: Context-based, and Mode 4: Agent Facilitator. This taxonomy was further enriched using the "5W1H" guideline method, which involved a detailed examination of definitions, participant roles (Who), the phases that happened (When), human objectives and LLM abilities (What), and the mechanics of each interaction mode (How). We anticipate this taxonomy will contribute to the future design and evaluation of human-LLM interaction.

description: Waveform-controlled light fields offer the possibility of manipulating ultrafast electronic processes on sub-cycle timescales. The optical lightwave control of the collective electron motion in nanostructured materials is key to the design of electronic devices operating at up to petahertz frequencies. We have studied the directional control of the electron emission from 95 nm diameter SiO2 nanoparticles in few-cycle laser fields with a well-defined waveform. Projections of the three-dimensional (3D) electron momentum distributions were obtained via single-shot velocity-map imaging (VMI), where phase tagging allowed retrieving the laser waveform for each laser shot. The application of this technique allowed us to efficiently suppress background contributions in the data and to obtain very accurate information on the amplitude and phase of the waveform-dependent electron emission. The experimental data that are obtained for 4 fs pulses centered at 720 nm at different intensities in the range (1–4) × 1013 W cm−2 are compared to quasi- classical mean-field Monte-Carlo simulations. The model calculations identify electron backscattering from the nanoparticle surface in highly dynamical localized fields as the main process responsible for the energetic electron emission from the nanoparticles. The local field sensitivity of the electron emission observed in our studies can serve as a foundation for future research on propagation effects for larger particles and field-induced material changes at higher intensities.

description: Late interaction neural IR models like ColBERT offer a competitive effectiveness-efficiency trade-off across many benchmarks. However, they require a huge memory space to store the contextual representation for all the document tokens. Some works have proposed using either heuristics or statistical-based techniques to prune tokens from each document. This however doesn't guarantee that the removed tokens have no impact on the retrieval score. Our work uses a principled approach to define how to prune tokens without impacting the score between a document and a query. We introduce three regularization losses, that induce a solution with high pruning ratios, as well as two pruning strategies. We study them experimentally (in and out-domain), showing that we can preserve ColBERT's performance while using only 30\% of the tokens.

description: We present a theory of chemokinetic search agents that regulate directional fluctuations according to distance from a target. A dynamic scattering effect reduces the probability to penetrate regions with high fluctuations and thus search success for agents that respond instantaneously to positional cues. In contrast, agents with internal states that initially suppress chemokinesis can exploit scattering to increase their probability to find the target. Using matched asymptotics between the case of diffusive and ballistic search, we obtain analytic results beyond Fox' colored noise approximation.

description: In the limit of large, constant B-field (the ``Seiberg-Witten limit''), the derivative expansion for open-superstring effective actions is naturally expressed in terms of the symmetric products *n. Here, we investigate corrections around the large-B limit, for Chern-Simons couplings on the brane and to quadratic order in gauge fields. We perform a boundary-state computation in the commutative theory, and compare it with the corresponding computation on the noncommutative side. These results are then used to examine the possible role of Wilson lines beyond the Seiberg-Witten limit. To quadratic order in fields, the entire tree-level amplitude is described by a metric-dependent deformation of the *2 product, which can be interpreted in terms of a deformed (non-associative) version of the Moyal * product.

description: We study numerically the vortex-lattice formation in a rapidly rotating uniform quasi-two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a box trap. We consider two types of boxes: square and circle. In a square-shaped 2D box trap, when the number of generated vortices is the square of an integer, the vortices are found to be arranged in a perfect square lattice, although deviations near the center are found when the number of generated vortices is arbitrary. In case of a circular box trap, the generated vortices in the rapidly rotating BEC lie on concentric closed orbits. Near the center, these orbits have the shape of polygons, whereas near the periphery the orbits are circles. The circular box trap is equivalent to the rotating cylindrical bucket used in early experiment(s) with liquid He II. The number of generated vortices in both cases is in qualitative agreement with Feynman's universal estimate. The numerical simulation for this study is performed by a solution of the underlying mean-field Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equation in the rotating frame, where the wave function for the generated vortex lattice is a stationary state. Consequently, the imaginary-time propagation method can be used for a solution of the GP equation, known to lead to an accurate numerical solution. We also demonstrated the dynamical stability of the vortex lattices in real-time propagation upon a small change of the angular frequency of rotation, using the converged imaginary-time wave function as the initial state.

description: Image enhancement plays an important role in biometric systems, this paper presented automatic latentfingerprint segmentation and matching. While considerable progress has made in both rolled and plain fingerprintimage enhancement, latent fingerprint enhancement is a challenging problem due to the poor image quality of latentfingerprint with unclear ridge structures and various overlapping patterns, along with the presence of structured noise.Prior to latent fingerprint segmentation and feature extraction, latent fingerprint image enhancement is important tosuppress various types of noise and to clarify the ridge structure. This paper reviews the current techniques used forlatent fingerprint enhancement and presents a hybrid model which combines the edge directional total variationmodel (EDTV) and quality image enhancement with lost minutia reconstruction. The NIST SD27 database is used totest the performance of the proposed techniques with RMSE and PSNR. The proposed technique is effectively clarifyinput latent fingerprint images and eliminate noise in good, bad and ugly latent fingerprint images. A statisticallysignificant difference, which focused on the mean lengths of PSNR and RMSE for different categories of latentfingerprint, images (good, bad and ugly). The proposed technique performs well for the good latent fingerprint images compare to bad and ugly images. Enhancement respectively presents RMSE averages of 0.018373, 0.022287, and 0.023199 for the good, bad and ugly image SD27 image set, as opposed to 82.99068, 81.39749, and 81.07826 for PSNR. The proposed enhancement technique improved the matching accuracy of latent fingerprint images by about 30%.

In particular, we want to clarify the mathematical aspects related to the geometrical structures involved in this theory: complex line bundles, hermitian connections, real and complex polarizations, metalinear bundles and bundles of densities and half-forms. In addition, we justify all the steps followed in the geometric quantization programme, from the standpoint definition to the structures which are successively introduced.

description: The expected signature is an analogue of the Laplace transform for rough paths. Chevyrev and Lyons showed that, under certain moment conditions, the expected signature determines the laws of signatures. Lyons and Ni posed the question of whether the expected signature of Brownian motion up to the exit time of a domain satisfies Chevyrev and Lyons' moment condition. We provide the first example where the answer is negative.

description: Background: When accounting for misclassification, investigators make assumptions about whether misclassification is "differential" or "nondifferential." Most guidance on differential misclassification considers settings where outcome misclassification varies across levels of exposure, or vice versa. Here, we examine when covariate-differential misclassification must be considered when estimating overall outcome prevalence. Methods: We generated datasets with outcome misclassification under five data generating mechanisms. In each, we estimated prevalence using estimators that (a) ignored misclassification, (b) assumed misclassification was nondifferential, and (c) allowed misclassification to vary across levels of a covariate. We compared bias and precision in estimated prevalence in the study sample and an external target population using different sources of validation data to account for misclassification. We illustrated use of each approach to estimate HIV prevalence using self-reported HIV status among people in East Africa cross-border areas. Results: The estimator that allowed misclassification to vary across levels of the covariate produced results with little bias for both populations in all scenarios but had higher variability when the validation study contained sparse strata. Estimators that assumed nondifferential misclassification produced results with little bias when the covariate distribution in the validation data matched the covariate distribution in the target population; otherwise estimates assuming nondifferential misclassification were biased. Conclusions: If validation data are a simple random sample from the target population, assuming nondifferential outcome misclassification will yield prevalence estimates with little bias regardless of whether misclassification varies across covariates. Otherwise, obtaining valid prevalence estimates requires incorporating covariates into the estimators used to account for misclassification.

description: Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common disabling joint disease. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has been commonly used to assess knee joint degeneration due to its distinct advantage in detecting morphologic cartilage changes. Although several statistical methods over conventional radiography have been developed to perform quantitative cartilage analyses, little work has been done capturing the development and progression of cartilage lesions (or abnormal regions) and how they naturally progress. There are two major challenges, including (i) the lack of building spatial-temporal correspondences and correlations in cartilage thickness and (ii) the spatio-temporal heterogeneity in abnormal regions. The goal of this work is to propose a dynamic abnormality detection and progression (DADP) framework for quantitative cartilage analysis, while addressing the two challenges. First, spatial correspondences are established on flattened 2D cartilage thickness maps extracted from 3D knee MR images both across time within each subject and across all subjects. Second, a dynamic functional mixed effects model (DFMEM) is proposed to quantify abnormality progression across time points and subjects, while accounting for the spatio-temporal heterogeneity. We systematically evaluate our DADP using simulations and real data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative (OAI). Our results show that DADP not only effectively detects subject-specific dynamic abnormal regions, but also provides population-level statistical disease mapping and subgroup analysis. © 2021

description: In line with a growing need for data and information transmission in a safe and quick manner, The security becomes an importantissue of communication and storage of image due to the growth of multimedia application. Encryption is one of the ways to ensurehigh security. Images are used in many fields such as military and medical science. researches on image protection and securitythrough a combination of cryptographic and compression techniques begin to take form. The combination of these two methodsmay include into three categories based on their process sequences. The first category, cryptographic technique followed by compression method. The second combination, compression technique followed by the cryptographic method, has an advantage where the compression technique can be lossy, lossless, or combination of both. The third category, i.e. compression and cryptographic technologies in a single process either partially or in the form of compressive sensing .

description: We consider the problem of identifying multiway block structure from a large noisy tensor. Such problems arise frequently in applications such as genomics, recommendation system, topic modeling, and sensor network localization. We propose a tensor block model, develop a unified least-square estimation, and obtain the theoretical accuracy guarantees for multiway clustering. The statistical convergence of the estimator is established, and we show that the associated clustering procedure achieves partition consistency. A sparse regularization is further developed for identifying important blocks with elevated means. The proposal handles a broad range of data types, including binary, continuous, and hybrid observations. Through simulation and application to two real datasets, we demonstrate the outperformance of our approach over previous methods.
