description: We fabricated a non-local spin valve device with Co-MgO injector/detector tunnel contacts on a graphene spin channel. In this device, the spin polarization of the injector contact can be tuned by both the injector current bias and the gate voltage. The spin polarization can be turned off and even inverted. This behavior enables a spin transistor where the signal is switched off by turning off the spin injection using the field-effect. We propose a model based on a gate-dependent shift of the minimum in the graphene density of states with respect to the tunneling density of states of cobalt, which can explain the observed bias and gate dependence.

description: Chevallier-Polarski-Linder (CPL) parametrization for the equation of state of dark energy in terms of cosmic redshift or scale factor have been frequently studied in the literature. In this study, we consider cosmic time based CPL parametrization for the equation of state parameter of the effective cosmic fluid that fills the fabric of spatially flat and homogeneous Robertson-Walker spacetime in general relativity. The model exhibits two worthy features: (i) It fits the observational data from the latest $H(z)$ and Union 2.1 SN Ia compilations matching the success of $Λ$CDM model. (ii) It describes the evolution of the Universe from the matter-dominated phase to the recent accelerating phase similar to the $Λ$CDM model but leads to Big Rip end of the Universe contrary to the everlasting de Sitter expansion in the $Λ$CDM model. We investigate the matter and dark energy sources in the model, in particular, behavior of the dynamical dark energy responsible for the Big Rip end of Universe.

description: Discretely-constrained Nash-Cournot games have attracted attention as they arise in various competitive energy production settings in which players must make one or more discrete decisions. Gabriel et al. ["Solving discretely-constrained Nash-Cournot games with an application to power markets." Networks and Spatial Economics 13(3), 2013] claim that the set of equilibria to a discretely-constrained Nash-Cournot game coincides with the set of solutions to a corresponding discretely-constrained mixed complementarity problem. We show that this claim is false.

description: About 15% of Gamma Ray Bursts have precursors, i.e. emission episodes preceding the main event, whose spectral and temporal properties are similar to the main emission. We propose that precursors have their own fireball, producing afterglow emission due to the dissipation of the kinetic energy via external shock. In the time lapse between the precursor and the main event, we assume that the central engine is not completely turned off, but it continues to eject relativistic material at a smaller rate, whose emission is below the background level. The precursor fireball generates a first afterglow by the interaction with the external circumburst medium. Matter injected by the central engine during the "quasi-quiescent" phase replenishes the external medium with material in relativistic motion. The fireball corresponding to the main prompt emission episode crashes with this moving material, producing a second afterglow, and finally catches up and merges with the first precursor fireball. We apply this new model to GRB 091024, an event with a precursor in the prompt light curve and two well defined bumps in the optical afterglow, obtaining an excellent agreement with the existing data.

The role of counterfactual thinking in deceptive communication

description: This thesis explores the proposal that there is a close link between counterfactual thinking and lying. Although both require the imagination of alternatives to reality, research has yet to establish a direct link. In the first seven studies the relationship between counterfactuals and lies is directly investigated using novel scenario-based and behavioural tasks. In a further four studies we also investigate the role of affect and executive functions as explanatory mechanisms. Results show that individuals with a tendency to think counterfactually are more likely to generate potential lies and to be more successful when lying in front of others (Study 1 and 6). Furthermore, we also show that counterfactual availability influences people’s tendency to come up with lies (Studies 2, and 3) and the extent to which they expect others to lie (Studies 4, and 5). We also find that the saliency of counterfactual alternatives can affect people’s moral standards by motivating them to lie (Study 7). Based on these results we argue that counterfactuals motivate lying by providing information about how things could have been different. We however also investigate alternative explanations. In Studies 8, 9 and 10 we seek to understand whether counterfactually derived affect might also underlie the relationship, but find no such link. Additionally, in Study 11 we investigate the relationship in Parkinson’s disease participants in order to understand if executive function might be an underlying mechanism. We do not find this to be the case and we show that PD patients are able to engage in counterfactual thinking and also lie. The findings in this thesis are the first to provide a direct link between counterfactual thoughts and lies. Overall, we show how counterfactuals can help us mislead others and we reveal that counterfactual thinking is an important cognitive process in deception

description: We present a detailed study of Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA) observations ($λ$ = 20, 13, 6 & 3~cm) of supernova remnant (SNR) J0509--6731 in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). The remnant has a ring morphology with brightened regions towards the south-western limb. We also find a second brightened inner ring which is only seen in the radio-continuum. The SNR is almost circular, with a diameter ranging from 7 to 8~pc, and a steep radio spectral index between 36 and 3~cm of $α=-0.73\pm0.02$, which is characteristic of younger SNRs. We also report detection of radially orientated polarisation across the remnant at 6~cm, with a mean fractional polarisation level of $P\cong$~(26~$\pm$~13)%. We find the magnetic field ($\sim$168~$μ$G) and $Σ- D$ ($Σ= $ $1.1\times 10^{-19}$~W m$^{-2}$~Hz$^{-1}$~sr$^{-1}$ , $D=$ 7.35~pc) to be consistent with other young remnants.

description: Fashion retrieval is the challenging task of finding an exact match for fashion items contained within an image. Difficulties arise from the fine-grained nature of clothing items, very large intra-class and inter-class variance. Additionally, query and source images for the task usually come from different domains - street photos and catalogue photos respectively. Due to these differences, a significant gap in quality, lighting, contrast, background clutter and item presentation exists between domains. As a result, fashion retrieval is an active field of research both in academia and the industry. Inspired by recent advancements in Person Re-Identification research, we adapt leading ReID models to be used in fashion retrieval tasks. We introduce a simple baseline model for fashion retrieval, significantly outperforming previous state-of-the-art results despite a much simpler architecture. We conduct in-depth experiments on Street2Shop and DeepFashion datasets and validate our results. Finally, we propose a cross-domain (cross-dataset) evaluation method to test the robustness of fashion retrieval models.

description: We report the detection at 850um of the central source in SSA22-LAB1, the archetypal Lyman-alpha Blob (LAB), a 100kpc-scale radio-quiet emission-line nebula at z=3.1. The flux density of the source, $S_{850}=4.6\pm1.1$mJy implies the presence of a galaxy, or group of galaxies, with a total luminosity of $L_{\rm IR}\approx10^{12}L_\odot$. The position of an active source at the center of a ~50kpc-radius ring of linearly polarized Ly-alpha emission detected by Hayes et al. (2011) suggests that the central source is leaking Ly-alpha photons preferentially in the plane of the sky, which undergo scattering in HI clouds at large galactocentric radius. The Ly-alpha morphology around the submillimeter detection is reminiscent of biconical outflow, and the average Ly-alpha line profiles of the two `lobes' are dominated by a red peak, expected for a resonant line emerging from a medium with a bulk velocity gradient that is outflowing relative to the line center. Taken together, these observations provide compelling evidence that the central active galaxy (or galaxies) is responsible for a large fraction of the extended Ly-alpha emission and morphology. Less clear is the history of the cold gas in the circumgalactic medium being traced by Ly-alpha: is it mainly pristine material accreting into the halo that has not yet been processed through an interstellar medium (ISM), now being blown back as it encounters an outflow, or does it mainly comprise gas that has been swept-up within the ISM and expelled from the galaxy?

description: We conducted numerical simulation for a crowd of pedestrians. Each pedestrian, modeled with three circles, has a shape whose long axis is perpendicular to the anteroposterior axis, and is designed to move fixed destination. The pedestrians have friction at the surface and soft repulsion. In this study, we newly introduced an active rotation which captures psychological effect to evade face-to-face situation. The numerical simulation revealed that active rotation induces fluidization of system leading to higher flux of pedestrian. We further confirmed that this fluidization is due to fragmentation of force chain induced by the active rotation.

We first show that every Jordan left (right) centralizer over a matrix ring is a left (right) centralizer. Moreover, every two-sided centralizer over the matrix ring is of a particular form. Further, we prove that any additive map satisfying functional equations over matrix rings becomes a two-sided centralizer. Finally, we conclude our work with some results on the Jordan left $\star$- centralizer over matrix rings and establish some results on functional equations that arise for the $\star$-centralizer.

description: A method is presented which restricts the space of paths entering the path integral of quantum mechanics to subspaces of $C^α$, by only allowing paths which possess at least $α$ derivatives. The method introduces two external parameters, and induces the appearance of a particular time scale $ε_D$ such that for time intervals longer than $ε_D$ the model behaves as usual quantum mechanics. However, for time scales smaller than $ε_D$, modifications to standard formulation of quantum theory occur. This restriction renders convergent some quantities which are usually divergent in the time-continuum limit $ε\rightarrow 0$. We illustrate the model by computing several meaningful physical quantities such as the mean square velocity $\langle v^2 \rangle $, the canonical commutator, the Schrodinger equation and the energy levels of the harmonic oscillator. It is shown that an adequate choice of the parameters introduced makes the evolution unitary.

description: This document reports on a Piping Plover nesting survey done in 2004. It shows that a total of 135 pairs of piping plover nested in New Jersey in 2004, a 6% decrease from 2003 (144 pairs) and the first drop in pairs in six years. The number of active nesting sites increased slightly to 30 in 2004, up from 29 in 2003. Looking at the major nesting sites across the state, Sandy Hook had one its poorest years on record with just a 34% pair hatching success and only 0.66 chicks fledged per pair (for 32 total pairs). Fox problems plagued Sandy Hook for the second consecutive year, resulting in high rates of both nest predation and abandonment.

description: Let $f$ and $g$ be commuting meromorphic functions with finitely many poles. By studying the behaviour of Fatou components under this commuting relation, we prove that $f$ and $g$ have the same Julia set whenever $f$ and $g$ have no simply connected fast-escaping wandering domains. By combining this with a recent result of Tsantaris', we obtain the strongest statement (to date) regarding the Julia sets of commuting meromorphic functions. In order to highlight the difference to the entire case, we show that transcendental meromorphic functions with finitely many poles have orbits that alternate between approaching a pole and escaping to infinity at strikingly fast rates.

description: Coupling dark energy and dark matter through an effective fluid description is a very common procedure in cosmology, however it always remains in comoving coordinates in the special FLRW space. We construct a consistent, general, and covariant formulation, where the interaction is a natural implication of the imperfectness of the fluids. This imperfectness makes difficult the final step towards a robust formulation of interacting fluids, namely the construction of a Lagrangian whose variation would give rise to the interacting equations. Nevertheless, we present a formal solution to this problem for a single fluid, through the introduction of an effective metric.

In this paper we examine the rest of the rectangles, asking how many T-tetrominos may be placed into those rectangles without overlap, or, equivalently, what is the least number of gaps that need to be present. We introduce a new technique for exploring such tilings, enabling us to answer this question for all rectangles, up to a small additive constant. We also show that there is some number G such that if both sides of the rectangle are at least 12, then no more than G gaps will be required. We prove that G is either 5, 6, 7 or 9.

description: We introduce a variant of PCPs, that we refer to as rectangular PCPs, wherein proofs are thought of as square matrices, and the random coins used by the verifier can be partitioned into two disjoint sets, one determining the row of each query and the other determining the column. We construct PCPs that are efficient, short, smooth and (almost-)rectangular. As a key application, we show that proofs for hard languages in $NTIME(2^n)$, when viewed as matrices, are rigid infinitely often. This strengthens and simplifies a recent result of Alman and Chen [FOCS, 2019] constructing explicit rigid matrices in FNP. Namely, we prove the following theorem: - There is a constant $δ\in (0,1)$ such that there is an FNP-machine that, for infinitely many $N$, on input $1^N$ outputs $N \times N$ matrices with entries in $\mathbb{F}_2$ that are $δN^2$-far (in Hamming distance) from matrices of rank at most $2^{\log N/Ω(\log \log N)}$. Our construction of rectangular PCPs starts with an analysis of how randomness yields queries in the Reed--Muller-based outer PCP of Ben-Sasson, Goldreich, Harsha, Sudan and Vadhan [SICOMP, 2006; CCC, 2005]. We then show how to preserve rectangularity under PCP composition and a smoothness-inducing transformation. This warrants refined and stronger notions of rectangularity, which we prove for the outer PCP and its transforms.

description: Measuring the Higgs boson couplings as precisely as possible is one of the major goals of the High Luminosity LHC. We show that the $(b\bar{b})(b\bar{b})$ final state in Higgs boson pair production can be exploited in the boosted regime to give constraints on the trilinear Higgs boson self-coupling. In these exclusive phase space regions, novel jet substructure techniques can be used to separate the signal from the large QCD and electroweak backgrounds. New developments on trigger and b-tagging strategies for the upcoming LHC runs are necessary in order to reconstruct the Higgs bosons in boosted final states, where the trilinear self-coupling sensitivity is reduced. We find that using our approach one can set a limit for $λ\leq 1.2$ at $95 \%$ CL after $3000~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$. As the signal-to-background ratio is small we propose a data-driven side-band analysis to improve on the coupling measurement.

description: Recommendation systems have lately been popularized globally, with primary use cases in online interaction systems, with significant focus on e-commerce platforms. We have developed a machine learning-based recommendation platform, which can be easily applied to almost any items and/or actions domain. Contrary to existing recommendation systems, our platform supports multiple types of interaction data with multiple modalities of metadata natively. This is achieved through multi-modal fusion of various data representations. We deployed the platform into multiple e-commerce stores of different kinds, e.g. food and beverages, shoes, fashion items, telecom operators. Here, we present our system, its flexibility and performance. We also show benchmark results on open datasets, that significantly outperform state-of-the-art prior work.

description: We analyse the unravelling of the quantum optical master equation at finite temperature due to direct, continuous, general-dyne detection of the environment. We first express the general-dyne Positive Operator Valued Measure (POVM) in terms of the eigenstates of a non-hermitian operator associated to the general-dyne measurement. Then, we derive the stochastic master equation obtained by considering the interaction between the system and a reservoir at thermal equilibrium, which is measured according to the POVM previously determined. Finally, we present a feasible measurement scheme which reproduces general-dyne detection for any value of the parameter characterising the stochastic master equation.

description: We investigate the quark-meson model in a magnetic field using the exact functional renormalization group equation beyond the local-potential approximation. Our truncation of the effective action involves anisotropic wave function renormalization for mesons, which allows us to investigate how the magnetic field distorts the propagation of neutral mesons. Solving the flow equation numerically, we find that the transverse velocity of mesons decreases with the magnetic field at all temperatures, which is most prominent at zero temperature. The meson screening masses and the pion decay constants are also computed. The constituent quark mass is found to increase with magnetic field at all temperatures, resulting in the crossover temperature that increases monotonically with the magnetic field. This tendency is consistent with most model calculations but not with the lattice simulation performed at the physical point. Our work suggests that the strong anisotropy of meson propagation may not be the fundamental origin of the inverse magnetic catalysis.

description: This thesis is an exploration of how oral story can be used as a pedagogical tool by educators in a state infant school, to encourage children’s mathematical thinking. Two research questions are framed as follows: In using oral story as a pedagogical approach for mathematical thinking, what characterises the nature of the interaction between teachers and children and the role of children as mathematical storytellers? How can such narratives be documented? It starts by identifying the Vygotskian principles of instruction that are of importance to the practice of teaching young children. Data are generated by means of interviews, discussions, classroom observations and written reflections, which progressively focus the study. In particular, the way in which oral story allows playful conjecturing about mathematical possibilities using the question ‘what if?’ is examined. The practice of two reception class teachers is analysed and differences are shown between their mathematical epistemologies and implementation of the early years curriculum, using oral story as a teaching strategy. The contribution to knowledge made by the thesis is represented by several features. First, it lies in the detail of the exploration of the interaction between teachers and children, illuminating innovative ideas about the nature of such interaction in the context of using oral story as a pedagogical tool with whole classes and smaller groups of young children. Though oral story has been examined in previous studies, these tend to have relied on retelling a story with mathematical themes rather than constructing a story with children which allows new connections to be made. Second, the study’s findings relate specifically to children taking the role as mathematical storytellers and again, though complementing other studies, it extends our understanding of the way in which storytelling allows children to experience mathematical thinking. Third, in addition to new knowledge in the field of early years mathematics, it develops a novel way of documenting children’s mathematical narrative, making use of video of children’s storytelling to stimulate reflection on this by children, teachers and parents.
