title: An empirically-based debugging system for novice programmers
Creators: name: Hasemer, Tony
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1983

description: The research described here concerns the design and construction of an empirically-based debugging aid for first-time computer users, integrated into the Open University's SOLO programming environment. Its basis is an account of the processes involved as human experts debug faulty code, which account was later found to be supported by empirical tests on human experts. The account implies that an understanding of the intentions of the programmer is not essential to successful debugging of a certain class of programs. That class comprises programs written in a database-dependent language by users who are initially completely computer-naive and who during their course become competent to write simple programs which embody one or more basic AI techniques such as recursive inference. The debugging system, called AURAC, incorporates an explicit model of the debugging strategies used by human experts. Its understanding, therefore, is of programming in general and of the SOLO environment in particular. We present in the process a broad taxonomy of naive users' errors, showing that they can be divided into types, each type requiring a different debugging approach and indicating a different degree of expertise on the part of the perpetrator. SOLO is a conveniently delimited though nonetheless rich problem domain. Also described is a new version of SOLO itself (MacSOLO) which incorporates a large number of traps for the simple errors which plague novices, thus enabling AURAC to concentrate on the more interesting programming mistakes. AURAC is intended to operate after the event rather than whilst a program is actually being written, and is able via analysis of programming cliches and of data flows to isolate errors in the user's code. Where AURAC cannot analyse, or where its analysis yields nothing useful, it describes the corresponding section of code instead, so that the user receives a coherent output. MacSOLO and AURAC together form a unified system, based upon the principles of Simplicity, Consistency and Transparency. We show how these principles were applied during the design and construction phases.

Political influence of bureaucratic outputs: The designation process of empowerment zones and enterprise communities
Creators: name: Wallace, Marc Anthony
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: In response to the declining social and economic conditions in America, the federal government passed the Empowerment Zones and Enterprise Communities (EZ/EC) Act of 1993. To be selected as an EZ or EC, communities are challenged to catalogue their resources and develop innovative strategies to alleviate the problems that have been identified in their applications. From the 292 urban applications, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) was charged with designating six EZs, which would receive a $100 million grant and tax incentives, and 65 ECs, which would receive a $3 million grant. To explain why HUD selected the final list of EZs and ECs in 1994, the research uses two approaches. Qualitatively, the legislation and program materials are analyzed, interviews with former members of the White House, HUD, and congressional staffers are incorporated, and floor speeches and hearing testimony from members of Congress are examined. Quantitatively, original data is collected from the applications to capture bureaucratic, congressional, and presidential preferences in the selection process. The three sets of variables appear in eight logistic regression models to test 11 hypotheses, which are primarily drawn from distributive theory and principal-agent theory. The regression results demonstrate that the city's characteristics (e.g., poverty and number of entities involved in the application) are statistically significant in all of the models in which they appear. Of the political variables, the House of Representatives (e.g., committee assignment, presidential support score, and number of representatives) is more significant than the variables corresponding to the Senate or the president. Thus, the results offer some support to HUD's contention that EZs and ECs were selected on the basis of merit. Although a larger number of non-political variables are statistically significant than political variables, the findings illustrate that political factors cannot be discounted in the selection process.

description: The prediction of absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) of small molecules from their molecular structure is a central problem in medicinal chemistry with great practical importance in drug discovery. Creating predictive models conventionally requires substantial trial-and-error for the selection of molecular representations, machine learning (ML) algorithms, and hyperparameter tuning. A generally applicable method that performs well on all datasets without tuning would be of great value but is currently lacking. Here, we describe Pareto-Optimal Embedded Modeling (POEM), a similarity-based method for predicting molecular properties. POEM is a non-parametric, supervised ML algorithm developed to generate reliable predictive models without need for optimization. POEMs predictive strength is obtained by combining multiple different representations of molecular structures in a context-specific manner, while maintaining low dimensionality. We benchmark POEM relative to industry-standard ML algorithms and published results across 17 classifications tasks. POEM performs well in all cases and reduces the risk of overfitting.

description: The combination of the many-body Green's function $GW$ approximation and the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) formalism has shown to be a promising alternative to time-dependent density-functional theory (TD-DFT) for computing vertical transition energies and oscillator strengths in molecular systems. The BSE formalism can also be employed to compute ground-state correlation energies thanks to the adiabatic-connection fluctuation-dissipation theorem (ACFDT). Here, we study the topology of the ground-state potential energy surfaces (PES) of several diatomic molecules near their equilibrium bond length. Thanks to comparisons with state-of-art computational approaches (CC3), we show that ACFDT@BSE is surprisingly accurate, and can even compete with lower-order coupled cluster methods (CC2 and CCSD) in terms of total energies and equilibrium bond distances for the considered systems. However, we sometimes observe unphysical irregularities on the ground-state PES in relation with difficulties in the identification of a few $GW$ quasiparticle energies.

title: An application of operator *-algebras to the theory of quantum measurement
Creators: name: Sotelo-Campos, Juan
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1987

description: In this thesis we adapt the Davies and Lewis’ operational approach to quantum probability to the Op*-algebra framework. In Chapter I we introduce our formalism of quantum mechanics. We define the space of pure states U as a nuclear-Frechet space generated by a self-adjoint operator M whose inverse is nuclear. The algebra of observables is taken to be L+, the adjoint-stable set of linear maps from U into itself. This algebra and its dual under the uniform topology form a dual pair. We derive several algebraic and topological properties of this dual pair and show that it forms a suitable structure for the adaptation of Davies and Lewis’ theory to the Op*-algebra framework. In Chapter II we set the basis of the Davies and Lewis’ operational approach to quantum probability within the framework developed in chapter I. Here we define the fundamental concepts of an expectation and an instrument and discuss their relationship. We show that instruments are bounded Radon measures and that the compose of two of them is not in general a stable operation on the universe of all instruments. We conclude the chapter discussing the general Robertson-Heisenberg uncertainty relations. In Chapter III we build a special class of instruments to measure Q, P and H on S; these are based on Davies’ approximate position measurements. In particular we show that the compose of any two, hence any finite number, of these instruments is an instrument.

Permutationally Invariant Codes for Quantum Error Correction

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A permutationally invariant n-bit code for quantum error correction can be realized as a subspace stabilized by the non-Abelian group S_n. The code corresponds to bases for the trivial representation, and all other irreducible representations, both those of higher dimension and orthogonal bases for the trivial representation, are available for error correction. A number of new (non-additive) binary codes are obtained, including two new 7-bit codes and a large family of new 9-bit codes. It is shown that the degeneracy arising from permutational symmetry facilitates the correction of certain types of two-bit errors. The correction of two-bit errors of the same type is considered in detail, but is shown not to be compatible with single-bit error correction using 9-bit codes.

title: An Evaluation of Pastoral Care with Remedial Classes.
Creators: name: Pyart, Bruce
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1984

description: The emergence of a national system of comprehensive education heralded the advent of ’pastoral care' as a specified structure and organisation strategy in secondary schools. In its tripartite form of vocational, educational, and personal guidance, pastoral care has been conceived to meet the growing needs of all pupils in an age of social and technological change. The study investigates, analyses, and evaluates pastoral care with special education pupils in the first year of a comprehensive secondary school. Pastoral care is designed to diagnose needs and to help pupils - irrespective of ability and personal advantage - develop good relationships and cope with problems and adjustment. Children with special educational needs experience difficulty in mental, physical, cognitive, or emotional functioning, and may require additional help compared with their peers in the ordinary classes. Teachers perspectives of pastoral care, and of special education, may vary markedly within a comprehensive school. Definitive statements as to what constitutes the most effective system of pastoral care, where special education classes exist, cannot be expected. Nevertheless, it is hoped the evidence and arguments offered in the study will help to support the viewpoint that children with special educational needs in the first year of a comprehensive school require a well organised pastoral care system, with clearly defined aims, objectives, responsibilities, and with ample resources of time, teaching staff, and facilities allocated to it to function effectively. Pupils are of equal worth: where there is segregation, pastoral care must ensure the progress of all pupils is monitored to achieve proper pupil placement. The suitability of those entrusted with pastoral and managerial responsibilities would be paramount in contributing towards a meaningful system. It was hoped the investigation would show how useful a subjective, illuminative evaluation of pastoral care can be in highlighting its strengths and weaknesses, and in providing an opportunity to bring about change that should be of mutual benefit to teachers and pupils in that organisation.

description: We show that the law of the three-dimensional uniform spanning tree (UST) is tight under rescaling in a space whose elements are measured, rooted real trees, continuously embedded into Euclidean space. We also establish that the relevant laws actually converge along a particular scaling sequence. The techniques that we use to establish these results are further applied to obtain various properties of the intrinsic metric and measure of any limiting space, including showing that the Hausdorff dimension of such is given by $3/β$, where $β\approx 1.624\dots$ is the growth exponent of three-dimensional loop-erased random walk. Additionally, we study the random walk on the three-dimensional uniform spanning tree, deriving its walk dimension (with respect to both the intrinsic and Euclidean metric) and its spectral dimension, demonstrating the tightness of its annealed law under rescaling, and deducing heat kernel estimates for any diffusion that arises as a scaling limit.

description: Fe/Ag, Fe/Cu, Fe/Cu3Au, Fe/Au and Co/Au thin magnetic films exhibit properties that are different than the corresponding bulk magnetic material properties. In particular there is: a magnetic moment that is perpendicular to the film plane for low temperatures and low film. thickness; and a spin reorientation transition, dependent upon film thickness and temperature, that leads to an in plane magnetic moment for higher temperatures and greater film thickness. This project's goal was to develop a computer simulation that was able to model and predict these properties. In the computer simulation, deposition diffusion aggregation was utilized to fabricate the thin films. Monte Carlo computations were then utilized as a means to ascertain the model films' spin reorientation transition behavior.

description: We explore the potential of the CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) for testing the presence of large extra dimensions. The CAST experiment has originally been proposed to search for solar axions with a sensitivity supposed to provide a limit on the axion-photon coupling g_{aγγ}<5x10^{-11} GeV^{-1} or even lower. The expected bound on the coupling constant is by a factor of ten more stringent than the current experimental results. This bound extends for the first time beyond the limit dictated by astrophysical considerations. As a tuning experiment planning to explore the axion mass region up to about 1 eV, CAST would also be sensitive to the existence of Kaluza-Klein massive states. Therefore, the detection of X-rays at least at two pressures may be the signature of large extra dimensions. From this requirement we find that CAST may test (two) large extra dimensions with a (common) compactification radius R down to around 250 nm if m_{PQ}<1/(2R), and down to around 370 nm if 1/(2R)

Fatherlessness and adult quality of life: An African American perspective on the importance of male parenting
Creators: name: Carrington, Hugh Wesley
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This study begins with the presupposition that fatherlessness, female-headed families and the resulting poor quality of life for adult African Americans are all byproducts, symptoms, of America's racial enigmas---historical and contemporary. Individuals who point to fatherlessness and female-headed families as the cause for the crisis in the African American family are stumbling over the causes to deal with the symptoms. Fathers in cowardly flight and the resulting fragmentation of family structure is a national problem. It is a plight that extends far beyond and crosses all class, racial and ethnic lines. Yet, it can be seen most dramatically within the African American community (Wilson 1987). As such, the purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between fatherlessness and adult quality of life among African Americans and to establish the importance of male parenting in the African American family. Is the objective and subjective quality of life better for adults who grew up in objective father-present families and worse for adults who grew up in fatherless families? it was hypothesized that adults who grew up in father-present families would have a better objective and subjective quality of life than adults who grew up in fatherless families. To answer the research question and to test the stated hypothesis, secondary data analysis was conducted utilizing pooled data of the 1972 through 1996 General Social Surveys. While most differences were small, they were in the expected direction and significant. The findings show that fatherless adults were, overall, disproportionally more likely to have a worse objective and subjective quality of life. Researchers have analyzed the effects of children growing up in surroundings that put them at high risk for adverse outcomes later in life. They conclude that these adverse outcomes materialize when children become adolescents---during childhood. The findings of this study confirm that such outcomes may be prevalent among children who grew up in fatherless and female-headed families. Yet, they are not automatically eliminated with movement from childhood to adulthood. In other words, the consequences of growing up in a fatherless or female-headed family can be long-lasting---even into adulthood and in some instances for a lifetime.

description: We investigate a possible connection between the suppression of the power at low multipoles in the CMB spectrum and the late time acceleration. We show that, assuming a cosmic IR/UV duality between the UV cutoff and a global infrared cutoff given by the size of the future event horizon, the equation of state of the dark energy can be related to the apparent cutoff in the CMB spectrum. The present limits on the equation of state of dark energy are shown to imply an IR cutoff in the CMB multipole interval of 9>l>8.5.

To exemplify: we prove that for every inaccessible cardinal $κ$, if $κ$ admits a stationary set that does not reflect at inaccessibles, then the classical negative partition relation $κ\nrightarrow[κ]^2_κ$ implies that for every Abelian group $(G,+)$ of size $κ$, there exists a map $f:G\rightarrow G$ such that, for every $X\subseteq G$ of size $κ$ and every $g\in G$, there exist $x\neq y$ in $X$ such that $f(x+y)=g$.

description: The far-from-equilibrium dynamics of two crystalline two-dimensional monolayers driven past each other is studied using Brownian dynamics simulations. While at very high and low driving rates the layers slide past one another retaining their crystalline order, for intermediate range of drives the system alternates irregularly between the crystalline and fluid-like phases. A dynamical phase diagram in the space of interlayer coupling and drive is obtained. A qualitative understanding of this stochastic alternation between the liquid-like and crystalline phases is proposed in terms of a reduced model within which it can be understood as a stochastic resonance for the dynamics of collective order parameter variables. This remarkable example of stochastic resonance in a spatially extended system should be seen in experiments which we propose in the paper.

Yet, they are not automatically eliminated with movement from childhood to adulthood. In other words, the consequences of growing up in a fatherless or female-headed family can be long-lasting---even into adulthood and in some instances for a lifetime.

description: Investors in equilibrium are modeled as facing investor specific risks across the space of assets. Personalized asset pricing models reflect these risks. Averaging across the pool of investors we obtain a market asset pricing model that re°ects market risk exposures. It is observed on invoking a law of large numbers applied to an infinite population of investors that many personally relevant risk considerations can be eliminated from the market asset pricing model. Examples illustrating the e®ects of undiversi¯ed labor income and taste speci¯c price indices are provided. Suggestions for future work on asset pricing include a need to focus on identifying and explaining investor specific risk exposures.
ASASSN-16oh: A nova outburst with no mass ejection -- A new type of supersoft X-ray source in old populations

description: ASASSN-16oh is a peculiar transient supersoft X-ray source without a mass-ejection signature in the field of the Small Magellanic Cloud. Maccarone et al. (2019) concluded that ASASSN-16oh is the first dwarf nova with supersoft X-ray that originated from an equatorial accretion belt on a white dwarf (WD). Hillman et al. (2019) proposed a thermonuclear runaway model that both the X-rays and $V$/$I$ photons are emitted from the hot WD. We calculated the same parameter models as Hillman et al.'s and found that they manipulated on/off the mass-accretion, and their best fit $V$ light curves are 6 mag fainter, and decay about 10 times slower, than that of ASASSN-16oh. We propose a nova model induced by a high rate of mass accretion during a dwarf nova outburst, i.e., the X-rays originate from the surface of the hydrogen-burning WD whereas the $V/I$ photons are from the irradiated disk. Our model explains the main observational properties of ASASSN-16oh. We also obtained thermonuclear runaway models with no mass ejection for a wide range of parameters of the WD mass and mass accretion rates including both natural and forced novae in low-metal environments of $Z=0.001$ and $Z=0.0001$. They are a new type of periodic supersoft X-ray sources with no mass ejection, and also a bright transient in $V$/$I$ bands if they have a large disk. We suggest that such objects are candidates of Type Ia supernova progenitors because its mass is increasing at a very high efficiency $(\sim 100 \%)$.

description: The topological lasers, which are immune to imperfections and disorders, have been recently demonstrated based on many kinds of robust edge states, being mostly at microscale. The realization of 2D on-chip topological nanolasers, having the small footprint, low threshold and high energy efficiency, is still to be explored. Here, we report on the first experimental demonstration of the topological nanolaser with high performance in 2D photonic crystal slab. Based on the generalized 2D Su-Schrieffer-Heeger model, a topological nanocavity is formed with the help of the Wannier-type 0D corner state. Laser behaviors with low threshold about 1 $μW$ and high spontaneous emission coupling factor of 0.25 are observed with quantum dots as the active material. Such performance is much better than that of topological edge lasers and comparable to conventional photonic crystal nanolasers. Our experimental demonstration of the low-threshold topological nanolaser will be of great significance to the development of topological nanophotonic circuitry for manipulation of photons in classical and quantum regimes.

Partial Wave Analysis of Scattering with Nonlocal Aharonov-Bohm Effect

description: Partial wave theory of a two dimensional scattering problem for an arbitray short range potential and a nonlocal Aharonov-Bohm magnetic flux is established. The scattering process of a ``hard disk'' like potential and the magnetic flux is examined. Since the nonlocal influence of magnetic flux on the charged particles is universal, the nonlocal effect in hard disk case is expected to appear in quite general potential system and will be useful in understanding some phenomena in mesoscopic phyiscs.

A time-symmetric formulation of quantum entanglement

description: I numerically simulate and compare the entanglement of two quanta using the conventional formulation of quantum mechanics and a time-symmetric formulation that has no collapse postulate. The experimental predictions of the two formulations are identical, but the entanglement predictions are significantly different. The time-symmetric formulation reveals an experimentally testable discrepancy in the original quantum analysis of the Hanbury Brown-Twiss experiment, suggests solutions to some parts of the nonlocality and measurement problems, fixes known time asymmetries in the conventional formulation, and answers Bell's question "How do you convert an 'and' into an 'or'?'"

Political identity and social change: The remaking of the South African social order
Creators: name: Frueh, James Joseph
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Adopting the perspective of a social constructivist theory of political identity, the dissertation explores variations in the structure and power of South African identities during the transformation of the apartheid social order. It begins by establishing the importance of identity in the process by which agents and structures constitute both each other and order in society. It argues that the transformation of social structures is negotiated by the members of a society through their interactions, and that these interactions are organized and managed through the identity labels that participants and observers use to describe and explain those involved. Identity labels, therefore, constitute a valuable key to understanding structures of and changes to social power. Within this theoretical context, the South African transition is laid out using a series of chronologically progressive case studies and an ethnographic analysis of the identities evoked in their discourses. The dissertation analyzes texts from the discourses surrounding three of the social and political conflicts that made up the transformation of the South African social order---the 1976 student uprising, the debate over constitutional reforms in 1983--4 and crime in contemporary society. These conflicts represent sites of negotiation where South African have gone about dismantling apartheid and constructing an alternative social order. This dissertation is an attempt to understand how South Africans have used identity labels to organize and make sense of each of these conflicts and to find patterns in how the power of the labels has changed over time. It therefore studies how identity labels function as discursive social structures, how social activity is organized through these structures and how both the labels and their power have changed during the course of South Africa's transition. In this way, the dissertation contributes to the study of recent and contemporary South African society and provides lessons about the relationship between identity and social change more generally.
