'Person' == Light-skinned, Western Man, and Sexualization of Women of Color: Stereotypes in Stable Diffusion

description: We study stereotypes embedded within one of the most popular text-to-image generators: Stable Diffusion. We examine what stereotypes of gender and nationality/continental identity does Stable Diffusion display in the absence of such information i.e. what gender and nationality/continental identity is assigned to `a person', or to `a person from Asia'. Using vision-language model CLIP's cosine similarity to compare images generated by CLIP-based Stable Diffusion v2.1 verified by manual examination, we chronicle results from 136 prompts (50 results/prompt) of front-facing images of persons from 6 different continents, 27 nationalities and 3 genders. We observe how Stable Diffusion outputs of `a person' without any additional gender/nationality information correspond closest to images of men and least with persons of nonbinary gender, and to persons from Europe/North America over Africa/Asia, pointing towards Stable Diffusion having a concerning representation of personhood to be a European/North American man. We also show continental stereotypes and resultant harms e.g. a person from Oceania is deemed to be Australian/New Zealander over Papua New Guinean, pointing to the erasure of Indigenous Oceanic peoples, who form a majority over descendants of colonizers both in Papua New Guinea and in Oceania overall. Finally, we unexpectedly observe a pattern of oversexualization of women, specifically Latin American, Mexican, Indian and Egyptian women relative to other nationalities, measured through an NSFW detector. This demonstrates how Stable Diffusion perpetuates Western fetishization of women of color through objectification in media, which if left unchecked will amplify this stereotypical representation. Image datasets are made publicly available.

description: We present a study on inelastic thermoelectric devices, wherein charge currents and electronic and phononic heat currents are intricately interconnected. The employment of double quantum dots in conjunction with a phonon bath positions them as promising candidates for quantum thermoelectric diodes and transistors. Within this study, we illustrate that quantum coherence effects yield significant charge and Seebeck rectification effects. It's worth noting that, while the thermal transistor effect is observable in the linear response regime, especially when phonon-assisted inelastic processes dominate the transport, quantum coherence does not enhance thermal amplification. Our work provides valuable insights for the optimization of general thermoelectric devices.

description: We consider random walkers searching for a target in a bounded one-dimensional heterogeneous environment, in the interval $[0,L]$, where diffusion is described by a space-dependent diffusion coefficient $D(x)$. Boundary conditions are absorbing at the position of the target (set at $x=0$) and reflecting at the border $x=L$. We calculate and compare the estimates of efficiency $\varepsilon_1=\langle 1/ t\rangle$ and $\varepsilon_2=1/\langle t \rangle$. For the Stratonovich framework of the multiplicative random process, both measures are analytically calculated for arbitrary $D(x)$. For other interpretations of the stochastic integrals (e.g., Itô and anti-Itô), we get general results for $\varepsilon_2$, while $\varepsilon_1$ is obtained for particular forms of $D(x)$. The impact of the diffusivity profile on these measures of efficiency is discussed. Symmetries and peculiar properties arise when the search starts at the border ($x_0=L$), in particular, heterogeneity spoils the efficiency of the search within the Stratonovich framework, while for other interpretations the searcher can perform better in certain heterogeneous diffusivity profiles.

 An evaluation and simulation of an Advanced high rate Anaerobic Treatment technology (AAT)
 system applied at demo-scale with focus on methane production was performed in Karmiel (Israel)
 WWTP. The reactor is composed of an impregnated active biomass foam matrix to guarantee process
 stability and increase biogas production efficiency while reducing OLR shocks. Two different
 scenarios were investigated,1st scenario: AAT preceded by a primary clarifier and; 2nd scenario: AAT
 received raw sewage. Average removal efficiencies were higher during the 2nd scenario, with biogas
 production at1.3and6.7 m3.d-1during scenario1 and 2, respectively. The ADM1 showed applicability for
 the AAT (COD and gas flow).
 Keywords: Advanced anaerobic treatment; municipal wastewater; biogas; ADM1.

Proposed research on social perception of marker-assisted selection and its role in the forests of British Columbia
Creators: name: Nilausen, Chelsea

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: The forest industry is a major player in the provincial economy, provides a significant contribution to government revenue, and accounts for 3% of British Columbia’s GDP. However, with the reduction of housing starts in the US in 2006, the economic crisis of 2008, a steady decline in newsprint demand, and the Mountain Pine Beetle epidemic, the provincial and federal governments have searched for ways to transform the forest industry through innovation, improved environmental performance, and new markets. One such investment has been in marker-assisted selection (MAS), which is a genomic-based biotechnological tool that allows desired traits to be flagged on the genome. Since MAS is a new genomic tool to the forest industry, it is necessary to survey silviculture stakeholders in BC on their perception of this resource to tree breeders, its perceived use, and the context for which it should be implemented. If it is a tool whose implementation is perceived positively, it would significantly reduce the cycle of the tree breeding process, as it allows for the early selection of genotypic traits. Moreover, it would allow tree breeders to more efficiently and accurately select for improved wood qualities, growth rates, and resistance to pests, diseases, and climate change.
Exciton interacting with a moiré lattice: Polarons, strings, and optical probing of spin correlations

description: We develop a general theory for how an exciton in an atomically thin transition metal dichacogenide (TMD) monolayer couples to spin and charge correlations in an adjacent moire lattice created by a TMD bi-layer. Virtual tunneling of charge carriers, assumed for concreteness to be holes, between the moire lattice and the monolayer combined with the presence of bound hole-exciton states, i.e. trions, give rise to an effective interaction between the moire holes and the exciton. In addition to the Umklapp scattering, we show that this interaction is spin-dependent and therefore couples the exciton to the spin correlations of the moire holes, which may be in- as well as out-of-plane. We then use our theory to examine two specific examples where the moire holes form in-plane ferromagnetic or anti-ferromagnetic order. In both cases, the exciton creates spin waves in the moire lattice, which we analyse by using a self-consistent Born approximation that includes such processes to infinite order. We show that the competition between magnetic order and exciton motion leads to the formation of a well-defined quasiparticle consisting of the exciton surrounded by a cloud of magnetic frustration in the moire lattice sites below. For the anti-ferromagnet, we furthermore demonstrate the presence of the elusive geometric string excitations and discuss how they can be observed via their smoking gun energy dependence on the spin-spin coupling, which can be tuned by varying the twist angle of the moire bi-layer. All these phenomena have clear signatures in the exciton spectrum, and as such our results illustrate that excitons are promising probes providing optical access to the spin correlations of new quantum phases predicted to exist in TMD materials.

description: In this paper we analyze the MPI-only version of the CloverLeaf code from the SPEChpc 2021 benchmark suite on recent Intel Xeon "Ice Lake" and "Sapphire Rapids" server CPUs. We observe peculiar breakdowns in performance when the number of processes is prime. Investigating this effect, we create first-principles data traffic models for each of the stencil-like hotspot loops. With application measurements and microbenchmarks to study memory data traffic behavior, we can connect the breakdowns to SpecI2M, a new write-allocate evasion feature in current Intel CPUs. For serial and full-node cases we are able to predict the memory data volume analytically with an error of a few percent. We find that if the number of processes is prime, SpecI2M fails to work properly, which we can attribute to short inner loops emerging from the one-dimensional domain decomposition in this case. We can also rule out other possible causes of the prime number effect, such as breaking layer conditions, MPI communication overhead, and load imbalance.

description: DNA strands serve as a storage medium for $4$-ary data over the alphabet $\{A,T,G,C\}$. DNA data storage promises formidable information density, long-term durability, and ease of replicability. However, information in this intriguing storage technology might be corrupted. Experiments have revealed that DNA sequences with long homopolymers and/or with low $GC$-content are notably more subject to errors upon storage.
 This paper investigates the utilization of the recently-introduced method for designing lexicographically-ordered constrained (LOCO) codes in DNA data storage. This paper introduces DNA LOCO (D-LOCO) codes, over the alphabet $\{A,T,G,C\}$ with limited runs of identical symbols. These codes come with an encoding-decoding rule we derive, which provides affordable encoding-decoding algorithms. In terms of storage overhead, the proposed encoding-decoding algorithms outperform those in the existing literature. Our algorithms are readily reconfigurable. D-LOCO codes are intrinsically balanced, which allows us to achieve balancing over the entire DNA strand with minimal rate penalty. Moreover, we propose four schemes to bridge consecutive codewords, three of which guarantee single substitution error detection per codeword. We examine the probability of undetecting errors. We also show that D-LOCO codes are capacity-achieving and that they offer remarkably high rates at moderate lengths.

description: Le déploiement de routines « musique-littératie » en première année du primaire constitue une approche novatrice pour enseigner la lecture, l’écriture et l’oral. Son implantation par quatre enseignantes (une en classe « ordinaire », trois en adaptation scolaire) a fait l’objet d’une recherche exploratoire dont les deux objectifs étaient : 1) identifier les caractéristiques de l’enseignement qui favorisent l’apprentissage en littératie des élèves en considérant leurs besoins; 2) identifier les défis de cet enseignement, tels que déclarés par les enseignantes. L’analyse des données recueillies lors d’un groupe de discussion indique qu’elles ont posé une variété d’actions pour favoriser l’apprentissage, dont certaines s’inscrivent dans une perspective de différenciation pédagogique. Des défis liés à la maitrise des éléments musicaux, à la nature des textes utilisés, à l’organisation scolaire ou à certaines particularités des élèves ont été nommés. La discussion aborde notamment l’importance d’une formation initiale ou continue de qualité pour soutenir l’enseignement différencié de la littératie.

description: The forests of British Columbia have been managed for thousands of years to provide a range of products and services. For the Nuxalk people of Bella Coola, BC, their forests were used to: build homes and canoes, act as a transportation system (grease trails), and provide material for clothing, fuel and cultural/artistic needs. These forests also provide a host of plants used for nourishment and medicine. With the arrival of Western cultures the lives of First Nations people have been dramatically altered; and from a First Nations perspective, these traditional goods and services have been eroded. Today they seek to restore and protect the forests which provide these goods and services, while at the same time recognizing the needs of a modern life which include: improved housing, energy that is environmentally friendly and the development of new products and services to sustain their economy. Over the past year a number of people from different disciplines came together at the University of British Columbia to assist the Nuxalk Nation by conducting a series of applied research projects (titles in bold). These included Exploring Forest Management Alternatives and developing options for addressing some of the key economic, environmental, social and cultural challenges. The projects developed to address these challenges included a number of energy projects that focused on Forest Biomass for Hot Water and Warm Houses, Energy from Wood Waste, and Sawdust Products: Briquettes and Biochar. Other economic development projects focused on markets for non-timber forest products such as those identified in An Essential Oils Plan and high value artisanal products that can be developed using advanced Manufacturing and Design Technology. To assist with social development, the UBC team focused on the inadequacy of residential and senior’s housing and plans were developed to provide Help and Housing for Those Who Need it Most, and culturally reflective designs were completed for a Solid Wood House Made in Bella Coola. The series of short articles which follow are a brief description of these projects. We do wish to thank the Nuxalk people for agreeing to work with us, and some major financial sponsors that made it possible: the Nuxalk Development Corporation, MITACS Research Funds and the Coast Opportunity Funds.

Heavy flavor products play an important role in constraining the initial-state nucleon/nucleus parton distribution functions especially in the high and low Bjorken-x ($x_{BJ}$) region and exploring the final-state parton propagation and hadronization processes under different nuclear medium conditions. Latest simulation studies of heavy flavor hadron and jet measurements with the EIC project detector conceptual design will be discussed. The projected statistical accuracy of heavy flavor jet and heavy flavor hadron inside jet measurements in comparison with latest theoretical calculations will be presented.

Resisting commensurability : against informed consent as an anthropological virtue
Creators: name: Bell, Kirsten
Publisher: name: Blackwell
Year: 2016

description: In this article, I examine anthropology’s embrace of the informed consent doctrine at the end of the 1990s. Although acknowledging its utility in resolving the tensions between disciplinary ideals of openness in field research and the diverse array of contexts in which anthropologists now work, I argue that it has not been in our best interest to co-opt the concept. Bringing together the prior critiques of the informed consent doctrine’s application to ethnography, I criticize the tendency of some ethnographers to characterize ethnographic practice as “insuperably flawed,” pointing instead to the problems with the doctrine itself. I tease out underlying assumptions about the nature of research (and researchers and research subjects) that it presumes, and I conclude by suggesting the need for anthropology take a principled stance against the informed consent doctrine.

description: Classifying patterns of known classes and rejecting ambiguous and novel (also called as out-of-distribution (OOD)) inputs are involved in open world pattern recognition. Deep neural network models usually excel in closed-set classification while performs poorly in rejecting OOD inputs. To tackle this problem, numerous methods have been designed to perform open set recognition (OSR) or OOD rejection/detection tasks. Previous methods mostly take post-training score transformation or hybrid models to ensure low scores on OOD inputs while separating known classes. In this paper, we attempt to build a unified framework for building open set classifiers for both classification and OOD rejection. We formulate the open set recognition of $ K $-known-class as a $ (K+1) $-class classification problem with model trained on known-class samples only. By decomposing the $ K $-class problem into $ K $ one-versus-all (OVA) binary classification tasks and binding some parameters, we show that combining the scores of OVA classifiers can give $ (K+1) $-class posterior probabilities, which enables classification and OOD rejection in a unified framework. To maintain the closed-set classification accuracy of the OVA trained classifier, we propose a hybrid training strategy combining OVA loss and multi-class cross-entropy loss. We implement the OVA framework and hybrid training strategy on the recently proposed convolutional prototype network and prototype classifier on vision transformer (ViT) backbone. Experiments on popular OSR and OOD detection datasets demonstrate that the proposed framework, using a single multi-class classifier, yields competitive performance in closed-set classification, OOD detection, and misclassification detection.

description: Exchanging technical documents in the building automation domain is a complicated process. Files are distributed either as drawings, spreadsheets, or text documents. Each stakeholder has to re-enter the data into their own system, and changes are revised manually, often even without revision control. This paper presents a uniform exchange format based on the 'graphical' standard VDI 3814. To increase acceptance, the industry standards XSD and XML were chosen. As a result of this work, a model is provided that covers the concepts and exchange files provided in the VDI 3814 standard. Given a supporting tool, data can be entered, revised, and exchanged automatically. Based on this unified representation, it is subsequently possible to transfer the data into one of the already existing ontologies in this domain by using model transformations. Some of these ontologies are also referred to in this paper.

description: Good (Frequentist) statistical practice requires that statistical tests be performed in order to determine if the phenomenon being observed could plausibly occur by chance if the null hypothesis is false. Good practice also requires that a test is not performed if the study is underpowered: if the number of observations is not sufficiently large to be able to reliably detect the effect one hypothesizes, even if the effect exists. Running underpowered studies runs the risk of false negative results. This creates tension in the guidelines and expectations for computer science education conferences: while things are clear for studies with a large number of observations, researchers should in fact not compute p-values and perform statistical tests if the number of observations is too small. The issue is particularly live in CSed venues, since class sizes where those issues are salient are common. We outline the considerations for when to compute and when not to compute p-values in different settings encountered by computer science education researchers. We survey the author and reviewer guidelines in different computer science education conferences (ICER, SIGCSE TS, ITiCSE, EAAI, CompEd, Koli Calling). We present summary data and make several preliminary observations about reviewer guidelines: guidelines vary from conference to conference; guidelines allow for qualitative studies, and, in some cases, experience reports, but guidelines do not generally explicitly indicate that a paper should have at least one of (1) an appropriately-powered statistical analysis or (2) rich qualitative descriptions. We present preliminary ideas for addressing the tension in the guidelines between small-n and large-n studies

description: Objective: This study assessed the relations of child impairment and parenting self-efficacy with parental views of the acceptability and effectiveness of behavioral, medication, and combined treatments for child ADHD. Child impairment and parenting self-efficacy were also assessed in relation to the effectiveness views of specific behavioral treatment strategies. Method: Ninety-five mothers of children with ADHD completed questionnaires assessing child impairment, parenting self-efficacy, perceptions of the acceptability and effectiveness of ADHD treatments, and views of the effectiveness of specific behavioral treatment strategies. Results: Hierarchical linear modeling using child impairment and parenting self-efficacy as predictors of treatment views suggest that mothers viewed combined treatments as most acceptable and effective when their child was more impaired, and mothers with higher parenting self-efficacy rated behavioral treatment strategies as more effective. Conclusion: Child impairment and parenting self-efficacy are related to perceptions of the acceptability and/or effectiveness of ADHD treatments.

description: Over the past decades, research institutions have grown increasingly and consequently also their research output. This poses a significant challenge for researchers seeking to understand the research landscape of an institution. The process of exploring the research landscape of institutions has a vague information need, no precise goal, and is open-ended. Current applications are not designed to fulfill the requirements for exploratory search in research institutions. In this paper, we analyze exploratory search in research institutions and propose a knowledge graph-based approach to enhance this process.

description: We present a project to implement a national common strategy for the mitigation of the steadily deteriorating Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) situation at the Italian radio telescopes. The project involves the Medicina, Noto, and Sardinia dish antennas and comprised the definition of a coordinated plan for site monitoring as well as the implementation of state-of-the-art hardware and software tools for RFI mitigation. Coordinated monitoring of frequency bands up to 40 GHz has been performed by means of continuous observations and dedicated measurement campaigns with fixed stations and mobile laboratories. Measurements were executed on the frequency bands allocated to the radio astronomy and space research service for shared or exclusive use and on the wider ones employed by the current and under-development receivers at the telescopes. Results of the monitoring campaigns provide a reference scenario useful to evaluate the evolution of the interference situation at the telescopes sites and a case series to test and improve the hardware and software tools we conceived to counteract radio frequency interference. We developed a multi-purpose digital backend for high spectral and time resolution observations over large bandwidths. Observational results demonstrate that the spectrometer robustness and sensitivity enable the efficient detection and analysis of interfering signals in radio astronomical data. A prototype off-line software tool for interference detection and flagging has been also implemented. This package is capable to handle the huge amount of data delivered by the most modern instrumentation on board of the Italian radio telescopes, like dense focal plane arrays, and its modularity easen the integration of new algorithms and the re-usability in different contexts or telescopes.

description: Scalarized black holes (BH) have been shown to form dynamically in extended-scalar-tensor theories, either through spontaneous scalarization -- when the BH is unstable against linear perturbations -- or through a non-linear scalarization. In the latter, linearly stable BHs can ignite scalarization when sufficiently perturbed. These phenomena are, however, not incompatible and mixed scalarization is also possible. We explore two aspects of the Einstein-Maxwell-Scalar model: solutions containing, simultaneously, linear (\textit{aka} standard) and non-linear scalarization; and the effects of having one of the coupling constants with an 'opposite sign' to the one leading to scalarization. Both points are addressed by constructing and examining the mixed scalarization's domain of existence. An overall dominance of the spontaneous scalarization over the non-linear scalarization is observed. Thermodynamically, an entropical preference for mixed over the standard scalarization (spontaneous or non-linear) exists. In the presence of counter scalarization, a quench of the scalarization occurs, mimicking the effect of a scalar particle's mass/positive self-interaction term.

description: Photonic computing is a compelling avenue for performing highly efficient matrix multiplication, a crucial operation in Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). While this method has shown great success in DNN inference, meeting the high precision demands of DNN training proves challenging due to the precision limitations imposed by costly data converters and the analog noise inherent in photonic hardware. This paper proposes Mirage, a photonic DNN training accelerator that overcomes the precision challenges in photonic hardware using the Residue Number System (RNS). RNS is a numeral system based on modular arithmetic, allowing us to perform high-precision operations via multiple low-precision modular operations. In this work, we present a novel micro-architecture and dataflow for an RNS-based photonic tensor core performing modular arithmetic in the analog domain. By combining RNS and photonics, Mirage provides high energy efficiency without compromising precision and can successfully train state-of-the-art DNNs achieving accuracy comparable to FP32 training. Our study shows that on average across several DNNs when compared to systolic arrays, Mirage achieves more than $23.8\times$ faster training and $32.1\times$ lower EDP in an iso-energy scenario and consumes $42.8\times$ lower power with comparable or better EDP in an iso-area scenario.

description: This work presents an algorithm for scene change detection from point clouds to enable autonomous robotic caretaking in future space habitats. Autonomous robotic systems will help maintain future deep-space habitats, such as the Gateway space station, which will be uncrewed for extended periods. Existing scene analysis software used on the International Space Station (ISS) relies on manually-labeled images for detecting changes. In contrast, the algorithm presented in this work uses raw, unlabeled point clouds as inputs. The algorithm first applies modified Expectation-Maximization Gaussian Mixture Model (GMM) clustering to two input point clouds. It then performs change detection by comparing the GMMs using the Earth Mover's Distance. The algorithm is validated quantitatively and qualitatively using a test dataset collected by an Astrobee robot in the NASA Ames Granite Lab comprising single frame depth images taken directly by Astrobee and full-scene reconstructed maps built with RGB-D and pose data from Astrobee. The runtimes of the approach are also analyzed in depth. The source code is publicly released to promote further development.

description: The Upper Body Wingate Anaerobic Test (WAnT) is widely used as an assessment tool in sports training, rehabilitation, and exercise physiology. This test involves participants pedalling an ergometer with their upper body against a fixed resistance for 30 seconds, providing valuable insights into anaerobic power and capacity. In recent years, researchers have turned their attention to understanding the influence of sex differences and relative load on performance outcomes in this test; however, to our knowledge, no previous study describes these differences in terms of kinetics, kinematics, and performance outcomes. This thesis presents the results of an experiment involving 18 participants, equally divided between males and females, to investigate the presence of significant sex-related differences and the impact of relative load and crank position in the upper body WAnT. The participants were recreationally active university-students, aged between 20 and 30. All participants were familiarized with the Upper Body Wingate Anaerobic Test protocol to minimize learning effects. Each participant performed the test at three different resistances, 3, 4, and 5% of their body weight. The primary measures recorded were crank forces, video capture, and performance variables, including peak power, mean power, and fatigue index. The results indicated significant differences in upper body anaerobic power between males and females. Males exhibited higher effective force, peak, and mean power than their female counterparts. These findings align with existing literature on sex differences in muscle mass and hormonal profiles, contributing to upper-body muscle strength and endurance disparities. Additionally, the study revealed that relative load substantially impacted test performance. Participants with higher relative loads experienced a reduction in mean power; however, this did not have the same effect for males and females. Regarding kinematics, we identified different kinematic strategies between males and females to overcome the relative load, with males using greater neck flexion and females using greater elbow and wrist extension. This suggests that the resistance applied when scaled to an individual's body weight might not be the most accurate method to determine the relative load for males and females; this information is essential for standardizing the test across participants of varying sizes and developing precise exercise prescriptions based on relative load. In conclusion, this thesis presents evidence of significant sex differences in upper body anaerobic power and the substantial impact of relative load on the Upper Body Wingate Anaerobic Test. These findings underscore the importance of considering sex-related disparities and relative load adjustments when using this test for assessment and training purposes.

description: We revisit the hadronization and decay of excited heavy mesons and heavy baryons in Herwig 7 general-purpose event-generator, following four distinct steps: (i) Passing through the polarization of heavy hadrons at the end of parton shower through the application of heavy quark effective theory (HQET), where the emergence of a spin-flavour symmetry allows for the determination of the polarizations of the excited heavy mesons and heavy baryons from the helicity states of the light and heavy quarks. (ii) Improving the strong and radiative decay modes of the excited heavy mesons, where in the absence of conclusive experimental data on many of the decays, one needs to rely on HQET symmetries to determine the favoured decay modes, widths and branching ratios. (iii) Re-examination of the production rates of heavy hadrons using all available experimental data sources and (iv) performing a general tune for Herwig's free parameters to reflect the implemented changes. We compare our predictions against existing experimental data in the presence/absence of the newly implemented updates. These improvements will be available with Herwig-7.3.0 public release.
