description: In this paper, we investigate nonlinearly charged AdS black holes in four-dimensional critical gravity and study more exact black hole thermodynamics under the effect of small statistical fluctuations. We compute the correction to the thermodynamics of nonlinearly charged AdS black hole up to the leading order. We discuss the stability of black holes under the circumstances of fluctuation and find that fluctuation causes instability in the black holes. Moreover, both the isothermal and adiabatic compressibilities are also derived. Finally, we estimate the role of small fluctuations on the equation of states and study the $P-v$ diagram of nonlinearly charged AdS black hole.

All-In-One Robust Estimator of the Gaussian Mean

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Statistics Theory (math.ST)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The goal of this paper is to show that a single robust estimator of the mean of a multivariate Gaussian distribution can enjoy five desirable properties. First, it is computationally tractable in the sense that it can be computed in a time which is at most polynomial in dimension, sample size and the logarithm of the inverse of the contamination rate. Second, it is equivariant by translations, uniform scaling and orthogonal transformations. Third, it has a high breakdown point equal to $0.5$, and a nearly-minimax-rate-breakdown point approximately equal to $0.28$. Fourth, it is minimax rate optimal, up to a logarithmic factor, when data consists of independent observations corrupted by adversarially chosen outliers. Fifth, it is asymptotically efficient when the rate of contamination tends to zero. The estimator is obtained by an iterative reweighting approach. Each sample point is assigned a weight that is iteratively updated by solving a convex optimization problem. We also establish a dimension-free non-asymptotic risk bound for the expected error of the proposed estimator. It is the first result of this kind in the literature and involves only the effective rank of the covariance matrix. Finally, we show that the obtained results can be extended to sub-Gaussian distributions, as well as to the cases of unknown rate of contamination or unknown covariance matrix.

Imprints of memories, shadows and silences: shaping the Jewish South African story
Creators: name: Sakinofsky, Phyllis Celia
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This is a non-traditional thesis which comprises a work of fiction and a dissertation. -- The novel is set in South Africa and provides an account of events that took place among three families, Jewish, Coloured and Afrikaans, over three generations. -- The dissertation is constructed in three sections. The first section describes the settlement of South Africa's Jewish community, its divergent responses to apartheid and how this is mirrored in its literary output. -- In the second section, the relationship between history and fiction since the advent of postmodernism is discussed, how there has been a demand for historical truthfulness through multiple points of view and how consequently there has been an upsurge in memories and memorials for those previously denigrated as the defeated or victims. -- Fiction has been re-valued because it is through the novel that these once-submerged stories are being told. The novel has the capacity to explore uncomfortable or silenced episodes in our history, tell important truths and record stories and losses in a meaningful and relevant way. A novel might be shaped by history but it is through the writer's insights and interpretations that messages or meanings can reach many. -- South Africa's Truth and Reconciliation Commission report is an example of how the written word can expose the relationship between the re-telling of history and finding an alternate truth. By recording the many conflicting stories of its peoples, it has linked truth and literature, ensuring an indelible imprint on the country's future writing. The past cannot be changed, but how the nation deals with it in the future will be determined by language and narrative. -- The final section is self-reflexive and illustrates the symbiotic bond between the research and creative components, citing examples from the dissertation of how the two streams influenced one another.

description: Robotic fruit harvesting faces a big challenge because of the complex and ever-changing environment. This research looked into why the current harvesting methods are not effective and developed intelligent adaptive grasping approaches to improve the performance. A new grasping strategy was introduced and thoroughly tested in real-world conditions. The method used suction assistance and a hybrid soft robot hand, which showed remarkable adaptability during extensive field tests. Additionally, the research explored the use of advanced touch sensing to make robotic fruit harvesting even better.

Tuning the Kondo effect in Yb(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_{x}$)$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$

description: We study the evolution of the Kondo effect in heavy fermion compounds, Yb(Fe$_{1-x}$Co$_{x}$)$_{2}$Zn$_{20}$ (0$\leqslant$ x $\leqslant$ 1), by means of temperature-dependent electric resistivity and specific heat. The ground state of YbFe$_2$Zn$_{20}$ can be well described by a Kondo model with degeneracy $N$ = 8 and a $T_K\sim$30 K. In the presence of a very similar total CEF splitting with YbFe$_2$Zn$_{20}$, the ground state of YbCo$_2$Zn$_{20}$ is close to a Kondo state with degeneracy $N$ = 2 and a much lower $T_K\sim$ 2 K. Upon Co substitution, the coherence temperature of YbFe$_2$Zn$_{20}$ is suppressed, accompanied by an emerging Schottky-like feature in specific heat associated with the thermal depopulation of CEF levels upon cooling. For 0.4$\lesssim$ x $\lesssim$ 0.9, the ground state remains roughly the same which can be qualitatively understood by Kondo effect in the presence of CEF splitting. There is no clear indication of Kondo coherence observable in resistivity within this substitution range down to 500 mK. The coherence re-appears at around x$\gtrsim$ 0.9 and the coherence temperature increases with higher Co concentration levels.

description: We describe a method to train spiking deep networks that can be run using leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) neurons, achieving state-of-the-art results for spiking LIF networks on five datasets, including the large ImageNet ILSVRC-2012 benchmark. Our method for transforming deep artificial neural networks into spiking networks is scalable and works with a wide range of neural nonlinearities. We achieve these results by softening the neural response function, such that its derivative remains bounded, and by training the network with noise to provide robustness against the variability introduced by spikes. Our analysis shows that implementations of these networks on neuromorphic hardware will be many times more power-efficient than the equivalent non-spiking networks on traditional hardware.

description: We consider excited vortex states, which are vortex states left inside a superconductor once the external applied magnetic field is switched off and whose energy is lower than of the normal state. We show that this state is paramagnetic and develop here a general method to obtain its Gibbs free energy through conformal mapping. The solution for any number of vortices in any cross section geometry can be read off from the Schwarz - Christoffel mapping. The method is based on the first order equations used by A. Abrikosov to discover vortices.

Interplay of coupling and common noise at the transition to synchrony in oscillator populations

description: We consider a population of globally coupled oscillators driven by common noise. By applying the Ott-Antonsen ansatz and by averaging over the fast oscillations, we obtain analytically tractable equations for the noisy evolution of the order parameter. While noise always tends to synchronize the oscillators, the coupling can act against synchrony if it is repulsive. For identical oscillators, the fully synchronous state remains stable for small enough repulsive coupling; moreover it is an absorbing state which always wins over the asynchronous regime. For oscillators with a distribution of natural frequencies, we report on a counter-intuitive effect of dispersion of the oscillators frequencies at synchrony.

Implications of recent reforms to auditor reporting requirements in Australia
Creators: name: Rahaman, Md Mustafizur
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Past corporate scams and failure to convey valuable information to financial information users have cultivated severe criticism of the audit report. The long-lasting debate culminated in introduction of the new ISA 701 and revision of some extant auditing standards to enhance the quality of audit reports while providing transparent and entity-specific information. Of all the changes to audit reporting, the disclosure of key audit matters (KAMs) in a new separate section of the audit report is one of the most significant and has attracted the most controversy. There still exists polemics among standard-setters, academics, investors, and other stakeholders regarding the merits of the new reporting requirements . Motivated by continuous debate and the lack of prior research, this study investigates the degree of conformity with the new audit or reporting requirements in Australia and the extent of variations in the reporting of KAMs by companies within and across industries. The results indicate that there is a high degree of conformity with the new reporting framework, yet significant variations in the contents of the report, particularly in KAM disclosures. We observe that the number of KAMs, the types of KAMs presented, and their extent of disclosure generally varies both within and across industries. We further provide evidence that auditors do not disclose negative KAMs, rather they tend to avoid negative wordings when describing KAMs. Overall, we provide evidence that auditors are reactive in the innovative KAM disclosure; however, we still report some discrepancies in their reporting. In addition, we reveal significant differences in the pre-and post-ISA 701 audit reports in terms of its length; therefore, disclosures contained in the post-ISA 701 audit reports are much more comprehensive. These findings have important policy implications for the standard-setters, regulators, auditors, and users of financial reports on the adequacy of the new audit or reporting framework.

Operadic categories and their skew monoidal categories of collections

description: I describe a generalization of the notion of operadic category due to Batanin and Markl. For each such operadic category I describe a skew monoidal category of collections, such that a monoid in this skew monoidal category is precisely an operad over the operadic category. In fact I describe two skew monoidal categories with this property. The first has the feature that the operadic category can be recovered from the skew monoidal category of collections; the second has the feature that the right unit constraint is invertible. In the case of the operadic category S of finite sets and functions, for which an operad is just a symmetric operad in the usual sense, the first skew monoidal category has underlying category [N, Set], and the second is the usual monoidal category of collections [P, Set] with the substitution monoidal structure.

description: We demonstrate that the plasmonic properties of realistic graphene and graphene-based materials can effectively and accurately be modeled by a novel, fully atomistic, yet classical, approach, named $ω$FQ. Such model is able to reproduce all plasmonic features of these materials, and their dependence on shape, dimension and fundamental physical parameters (Fermi energy, relaxation time and two-dimensional electron density). Remarkably, $ω$FQ is able to accurately reproduce experimental data for realistic structures of hundreds of nanometers ($\sim$ 370.000 atoms), which cannot be afforded by any \emph{ab-initio} method. Also, the atomistic nature of $ω$FQ permits the investigation of complex shapes, which can hardly be dealt with by exploiting widespread continuum approaches.

description: Adcock was a poet, novelist, and editor. He was editor of The Bookman and it is probably in this connection that he first came to know Pound. [Provenance: James F. Drake, Rare Books, Autographs.] The letter was to admit Adcock to a lecture on Oct. 18 about Arnaut Daniel. The original topic of the lecture was "Pervigilium Veneris". We can date this lecture as 1909 from the course outline printed in Charles Norman's biography Ezra Pound (N.Y., Macmillan, 1960) p. 34.

description: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is an essential life-supporting modality for COVID-19 patients who are refractory to conventional therapies. However, the proper treatment decision has been the subject of significant debate and it remains controversial about who benefits from this scarcely available and technically complex treatment option. To support clinical decisions, it is a critical need to predict the treatment need and the potential treatment and no-treatment responses. Targeting this clinical challenge, we propose Treatment Variational AutoEncoder (TVAE), a novel approach for individualized treatment analysis. TVAE is specifically designed to address the modeling challenges like ECMO with strong treatment selection bias and scarce treatment cases. TVAE conceptualizes the treatment decision as a multi-scale problem. We model a patient's potential treatment assignment and the factual and counterfactual outcomes as part of their intrinsic characteristics that can be represented by a deep latent variable model. The factual and counterfactual prediction errors are alleviated via a reconstruction regularization scheme together with semi-supervision, and the selection bias and the scarcity of treatment cases are mitigated by the disentangled and distribution-matched latent space and the label-balancing generative strategy. We evaluate TVAE on two real-world COVID-19 datasets: an international dataset collected from 1651 hospitals across 63 countries, and a institutional dataset collected from 15 hospitals. The results show that TVAE outperforms state-of-the-art treatment effect models in predicting both the propensity scores and factual outcomes on heterogeneous COVID-19 datasets. Additional experiments also show TVAE outperforms the best existing models in individual treatment effect estimation on the synthesized IHDP benchmark dataset.

Rate-distance tradeoff for codes above graph capacity

description: The capacity of a graph is defined as the rate of exponential growth of independent sets in the strong powers of the graph. In the strong power an edge connects two sequences if at each position their letters are equal or adjacent. We consider a variation of the problem where edges in the power graphs are removed between sequences which differ in more than a fraction $δ$ of coordinates. The proposed generalization can be interpreted as the problem of determining the highest rate of zero undetected-error communication over a link with adversarial noise, where only a fraction $δ$ of symbols can be perturbed and only some substitutions are allowed. We derive lower bounds on achievable rates by combining graph homomorphisms with a graph-theoretic generalization of the Gilbert-Varshamov bound. We then give an upper bound, based on Delsarte's linear programming approach, which combines Lovász' theta function with the construction used by McEliece et al. for bounding the minimum distance of codes in Hamming spaces.

description: In this paper, we study the covariant form of the non-relativistic Schrodinger-Pauli equation in the space-time generated by a cosmic string and discuss the solutions of this equation in present of interaction between the magnetic dipole momentum and electromagnetic field. We study the influence of the topology on this system. We obtain the solution of radial part as well as the energy levels. We consider all thermodynamic properties of neutral particle in magnetic cosmic string background by using an approach based on the partition function method.

description: Mass loss is one of the key parameters that determine stellar evolution. Despite the progress we have achieved over the last decades we still cannot match the observational derived values with theoretical predictions. Even worse, there are certain phases, such as the B[e] supergiants (B[e]SGs) and the Luminous Blue Variables (LBVs), where significant mass is lost through episodic or outburst activity. This leads to various structures around them that permit dust formation, making these objects bright IR sources. The ASSESS project aims to determine the role of episodic mass in the evolution of massive stars, by examining large numbers of cool and hot objects (such as B[e]SGs/LBVs). For this, we initiated a large observing campaign to obtain spectroscopic data for $\sim$1000 IR selected sources in 27 nearby galaxies. Within this project we successfully identified 7 B[e] supergiants (one candidate) and 4 Luminous Blue Variables of which 6 and 2, respectively, are new discoveries. We used spectroscopic, photometric, and light curve information to better constrain the nature of the reported objects. We particularly note the presence of B[e]SGs at metallicity environments as low as 0.14 Z$_{\odot}$.

description: The integration of renewable distributed energy resources (DERs) in electrical power networks has been rapidly increasing. Concerns about global warming, the energy resiliency of communities, and the sustainability of renewable energy resources are among the main drivers of this rapid growth. Despite the benefits provided by DERs, they have also introduced several operational challenges. This dissertation aims to devise novel control and management approaches to maintain network integrity and ensure the efficient integration of DERs.
Decolonising art and media in Madrid and Sydney: the articulation of political identities in the (in)formal Resistance
Creators: name: Chaves, Ángeles Montalvo
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis is based on fieldwork conducted in two different urban contexts. I explore the cultural and media practices of Latin American people in Madrid, Spain and Aboriginal people in Sydney, Australia. I argue that both case studies constitute attempts to decolonise the dominant and homogeneous representations of these peoples within mediatised industries. Utilising a range of research methods that include multi-located ethnography, participant observation, interviews and analysis of the creative works of two radio and theatre groups in each location, I evoke different social worlds where political identities of resistance are articulated. Attention to daily practices reveals both groups’ difficulties in accessing commodified media markets, in part because of their physical characteristics. Further, I show how these groups find their own ways to expose their subjectivities and disseminate their creative works, voices and responses, including dialogues with institutions and funding bodies. The analysis of these groups presents different results yet overall shows commonalities in how these collectives use similar tools to counteract the residues of colonialism in the present. Throughout this thesis, colonialism appears as an unfinished power relation betweendominant groups and minority groups in Spanish and Australian societies. Esta tesis se basa en el trabajo de campo realizado en dos contextos urbanos distintos. Exploro las prácticas culturales y mediáticas de latinoamericanos en Madrid, España y aborígenes en Sídney, Australia. Argumento que estos casos de estudio constituyen intentos por parte de estos dos grupos por descolonizar representaciones dominantes y homogéneas en las industrias mediáticas. Utilizando una metodología variada que incluye etnografía multi-local, observación participante, entrevistas y el análisis de los trabajos creativos de los dos grupos de radio y teatro en cada localidad, señalo los distintos mundos sociales donde los sujetos de estudio articulan identidades políticas de resistencia. Prestando atención a sus prácticas diarias se revelan las dificultades de los dos grupos para acceder a los mercados mediáticos, en parte debido a sus características físicas. Además, muestro cómo estos grupos encuentran sus propias maneras de exponer sus subjetividades y difundir sus trabajos creativos, voces y respuestas, incluyendo diálogos con instituciones y organismos que conceden ayudas económicas. El análisis de estos grupos presenta distintos resultados pero sobre todo muestra comunalidades en cómo estos colectivos usan similares herramientas para contrarrestar los residuos del colonialismo en el presente. A lo largo de la tesis el colonialismo aparece como una relación de poder inacabada entre grupos dominantes y grupos minoritarios en las sociedades española y australiana.

description: In this paper, we investigate the influence of a screw dislocation on the energy levels and the wavefunctions of an electron confined in a two-dimensional pseudoharmonic quantum dot under the influence of an external magnetic field inside a dot and Aharonov-Bohm field inside a pseudodot. The exact solutions for energy eigenvalues and wavefunctions are computed as functions of applied uniform magnetic field strength, Aharonov-Bohm flux, magnetic quantum number and the parameter characterizing the screw dislocation, the Burgers vector. We investigate the modifications due to the screw dislocation on the light interband absorption coefficient and absorption threshold frequency. Two scenarios are possible, depending on if singular effects either manifest or not. We found that as the Burgers vector increases, the curves of frequency are pushed up towards of the growth of it. One interesting aspect which we have observed is that the Aharonov-Bohm flux can be tuned in order to cancel the screw effect of the model.

Projected equations of motion approach to hybrid quantum/classical dynamics in dielectric-metal composites

description: We introduce a hybrid method for dielectric-metal composites that describes the dynamics of the metallic system classically whilst retaining a quantum description of the dielectric. The time-dependent dipole moment of the classical system is mimicked by the introduction of projected equations of motion (PEOM) and the coupling between the two systems is achieved through an effective dipole-dipole interaction. To benchmark this method, we model a test system (semiconducting quantum dot-metal nanoparticle hybrid). We begin by examining the energy absorption rate, showing agreement between the PEOM method and the analytical rotating wave approximation (RWA) solution. We then investigate population inversion and show that the PEOM method provides an accurate model for the interaction under ultrashort pulse excitation where the traditional RWA breaks down.
