description: Human-induced climate change may cause significant ice volume loss from the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS). Projections of ice volume change from ice-sheet models and corresponding future sea-level rise have large uncertainties due to poorly constrained input parameters. In most future applications to date, model calibration has utilized only modern or recent (decadal) observations, leaving input parameters that control the long-term behavior of WAIS largely unconstrained. Many paleo-observations are in the form of localized time series, while modern observations are non-Gaussian spatial data; combining information across these types poses non-trivial statistical challenges. Here we introduce a computationally efficient calibration approach that utilizes both modern and paleo-observations to generate better-constrained ice volume projections. Using fast emulators built upon principal component analysis and a reduced dimension calibration model, we can efficiently handle high-dimensional and non-Gaussian data. We apply our calibration approach to the PSU3D-ICE model which can realistically simulate long-term behavior of WAIS. Our results show that using paleo observations in calibration significantly reduces parametric uncertainty, resulting in sharper projections about the future state of WAIS. One benefit of using paleo observations is found to be that unrealistic simulations with overshoots in past ice retreat and projected future regrowth are eliminated.

Blowing up the power of a singular cardinal of any cofinality with collapses

description: Cardinal arithmetic is one of the central topics that is still active in set theory until now. Specifically, the Singular Cardinal Hypothesis (SCH) is one of the most classical combinatorial principles which concerns cardinal arithmetic. SCH states that for any singular cardinal κ, κcf(κ) ≤ max{2cf(κ), κ+}. In particular, if κ is singular strong limit, then 2κ = κ+. It is known that to obtain a failure of SCH, a certain large cardinal assumption is required. In this thesis, we construct an instance of an extender based forcing which violates SCH. The construction is based on a coherent sequence of extenders. We prove that given if κ is a singular cardinal of cofinality η in the ground model, which is also a limit of suitable large cardinals, and η+ = ℵγη, then there is an extender based forcing such that it preserves cardinals and cofinalities up to and including η such that in the extension, κ becomes ℵγη+η, and SCH fails at κ. In particular, if η is not an ℵ-fixed point, then SCH fails at ℵη in the extension. Our large cardinal assumption is the existence of a Woodin cardinal. Gitik’s work [8] suggests that the large cardinal assumption can be weakened to the existence of an increasing sequence of cardinals (κα : α < ηi such that for each α < η, there is an Eα-extenders such that if jEα : V → Mα is the derived elementary embedding, then καMα → Mα, Mα computes cardinals correctly up to an including (supβ<ηκβ) ++, and for β < α < η, Eβ ∈ Mα. In our model, we also obtain some good scales, which exhibit the failures of SCH.

description: We describe the construction of a simple, compact, and cost-effective feedback system that produces flat-top field profiles in pulsed magnetic fields. This system is designed for use in conjunction with a typical capacitor-bank driven pulsed magnet, and was tested using a 60-T pulsed magnet. With the developed feedback controller, we have demonstrated flat-top magnetic fields as high as 60.64 T with an excellent field stability of +-0.005 T. The result indicates that the flat-top pulsed magnetic field produced features high field stability and an accessible field strength. These features make this system useful for improving the resolution of data with signal averaging.

description: We study masses and decay widths of positive and negative parity nucleons using a three-flavor parity doublet model, in which we introduce three representations, $\left[({\bf 3} , \bar{\bf 3})\oplus (\bar{\bf 3} , {\bf 3})\right]$, $\left[({\bf 3} , {\bf 6}) \oplus ({\bf 6}, {\bf 3})\right]$, and $\left[({\bf 8} , {\bf 1}) \oplus ({\bf 1} , {\bf 8})\right]$ of the chiral U$(3)_{\rm L}\times$U$(3)_{\rm R}$ symmetry. We find an extended version of the Goldberger-Treiman relation among the mass differences and the coupling constants for pionic transitions. This relation leads to an upper bound for the decay width of $N(1440) \rightarrow N(939) + π$ independently of the model parameters. We perform the numerical fitting of the model parameters and derive several predictions, which can be tested in future experiments or lattice QCD analysis. Furthermore, when we use the axial coupling of the excited nucleons obtained from lattice QCD analyses as inputs, we find that the ground state nucleon $N(939)$ consists of about 80% of $\left[({\bf 3} , {\bf 6}) \oplus ({\bf 6}, {\bf 3})\right]$ component, and that the chiral invariant mass of $N(939)$ is roughly $500$ -- $800$MeV.

Learning Structured World Model for Deformable Object Manipulation

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University

Subjects: subject: 90602 Control Systems, Robotics and Automation
subject: FOS: Electrical engineering, electronic engineering, information engineering

description: Manipulation of deformable objects challenges common assumptions in robotic manipulation, such as low-dimension state representation, known dynamics, and minimal occlusion. Deformable objects have high intrinsic state representation, complex dynamics with high degrees of freedom, and severe self-occlusion. These properties make them difficult for state estimation and planning. In this thesis, we introduce benchmarks and methods for solving various deformable object manipulation tasks, hoping to relax the commonly made assumptions and build a more robust manipulation system. We take the approach of learning the dynamics model from data for planning. Compared to analytical models, the learned models are more flexible. We can train them to model the dynamics at different levels of detail. More specifically, we learn structured world models with spatial and temporal abstraction. At a very granular level, we can represent the physical world as atoms and predict their movement at infinitesimal time steps. Such a dynamics model is general, accurate, and without any abstraction but also expensive to compute and difficult for state estimation. With spatial abstraction, we can reason at a higher level, such as representing the world as objects and their interactions with each other. Spatial abstraction enables efficient learning, planning, and compositional generalization. With temporal abstraction, we model the dynamics to predict the future state at longer time steps or even over the span of low-level skills. We can then plan with them to solve long-horizon tasks. In this thesis, we first introduce the first benchmark on deformable object manipulation, including manipulation of fluid, cloth, and ropes. Second, we present methods that learn dynamics models for cloth manipulation, representing the cloth as a graph for spatial abstraction. Third, we propose a framework for learning the skill dynamics model and using it for planning long-horizon sequences. We then apply the framework to manipulate elastoplastic objects with multiple tools. Finally, we show how to combine spatial and temporal abstraction to achieve long-horizon planning with compositional generalization for deformable object manipulation.

description: Scattering data can be generically described in terms of monodromies. Here we obtain scattering amplitudes for conformally coupled scalar fields in Kerr-de Sitter black holes using this monodromy technique. The only non-trivial parameter, the composite monodromy parameter $σ_{ij}$ between two regular singular points, can be solved implicitily in terms of the Painlevé VI $τ$-function. The application of the Virasoro conformal blocks to solve the latter can now be interpreted as a verification of the striking relationship between conformal symmetry and black holes.

Devising a protocol-related statistical mechanics framework for granular materials

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Devising a statistical mechanics framework for jammed granular materials is a challenging task as those systems do not share some important properties required to characterize them with statistical thermodynamics tools. In a recent paper [Asenjo et al. PRL, 2014], a new definition of a granular entropy, that puts the protocol used to generate the packings at its roots, has been proposed. Following up these results, it is shown that the protocol used in [Asenjo et al. PRL, 2014] can be recast as a canonical ensemble with a particular value of the temperature. Signature of gaussianity for large system sizes strongly suggests an asymptotic equivalence with a corresponding microcanonical ensemble where jammed states with certain basin volumes are sampled uniformly. We argue that this microcanonical ensemble is not Edwards' microcanonical ensemble and generalize this argument to other protocols.

description: We present the public data release of halo and galaxy catalogues extracted from the EAGLE suite of cosmological hydrodynamical simulations of galaxy formation. These simulations were performed with an enhanced version of the GADGET code that includes a modified hydrodynamics solver, time-step limiter and subgrid treatments of baryonic physics, such as stellar mass loss, element-by-element radiative cooling, star formation and feedback from star formation and black hole accretion. The simulation suite includes runs performed in volumes ranging from 25 to 100 comoving megaparsecs per side, with numerical resolution chosen to marginally resolve the Jeans mass of the gas at the star formation threshold. The free parameters of the subgrid models for feedback are calibrated to the redshift z=0 galaxy stellar mass function, galaxy sizes and black hole mass - stellar mass relation. The simulations have been shown to match a wide range of observations for present-day and higher-redshift galaxies. The raw particle data have been used to link galaxies across redshifts by creating merger trees. The indexing of the tree produces a simple way to connect a galaxy at one redshift to its progenitors at higher redshift and to identify its descendants at lower redshift. In this paper we present a relational database which we are making available for general use. A large number of properties of haloes and galaxies and their merger trees are stored in the database, including stellar masses, star formation rates, metallicities, photometric measurements and mock gri images. Complex queries can be created to explore the evolution of more than 10^5 galaxies, examples of which are provided in appendix. (abridged)

description: Lens time delays are a powerful probe of cosmology, provided that the gravitational potential of the main deflector can be modeled with sufficient precision. Recent work has shown that this can be achieved by detailed modeling of the host galaxies of lensed quasars, which appear as "Einstein Rings" in high resolution images. We carry out a systematic exploration of the high resolution imaging required to exploit the thousands of lensed quasars that will be discovered by current and upcoming surveys with the next decade. Specifically, we simulate realistic lens systems as imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST), James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), and ground based adaptive optics images taken with Keck or the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT). We compare the performance of these pointed observations with that of images taken by the Euclid (VIS), Wide-Field Infrared Survey Telescope (WFIRST) and Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) surveys. We use as our metric the precision with which the slope $γ'$ of the total mass density profile $ρ_{tot}\propto r^{-γ'}$ for the main deflector can be measured. Ideally, we require that the statistical error on $γ'$ be less than 0.02, such that it is subdominant to other sources of random and systematic uncertainties. We find that survey data will likely have sufficient depth and resolution to meet the target only for the brighter gravitational lens systems, comparable to those discovered by the SDSS survey. For fainter systems, that will be discovered by current and future surveys, targeted follow-up will be required. However, the exposure time required with upcoming facilitites such as JWST, the Keck Next Generation Adaptive Optics System, and TMT, will only be of order a few minutes per system, thus making the follow-up of hundreds of systems a practical and efficient cosmological probe.

description: Background and purpose — Temporary hemiepiphysiodesis for growth modulation in skeletally immature patients is a long-known technique. Recently the use of tension-band devices has become popular. This study compares 2 tensionband implants (eight-Plate and FlexTack) regarding their effects on the growth plate. Animals and methods — 12 pigs in 2 equally sized groups (A and B) were investigated. The right proximal medial tibia was treated with either eight-Plate or FlexTack. The left tibia of the same pig was treated with the opposite implant. After 9 weeks all implants were removed. Animals in group B were then hosted for another 5 weeks. Histomorphometric analysis of the growth plate was carried out after 9 and 14 weeks, respectively. Radiographs were taken at implantation, removal, and after 14 weeks. Results — Both tension-band devices achieved a statis- tically significant and clinically relevant growth inhibition, whereas the effect appeared to be more distinct after the use of FlexTack. Implant-related complications or physeal damage was not observed. After implant removal, rebound phenomenon was radiologically observed in all cases. The growth plates treated with eight-Plate showed a paradox reversal of the zonal distributions, with an increase of the proliferative zones at the previously arrested medial aspect of the physis and a decrease laterally. Interpretation — Both eight-Plate and FlexTack proved to be appropriate devices for growth-guiding treatment. The radiographic evaluation showed a change in angular axes after treatment with each implant, while the correction appeared to be faster with FlexTack. The paradox cartilaginous reaction observed after removal of the eight-Plate might be a histopathological correlate for rebound phenomenon.

description: OBJECTIVES: The use of endoscopic approaches for sinonasal malignancy resection has increased, but survival data are limited secondary to disease rarity and new surgical technique. Here we present a systematic review and meta-analysis of endoscopic endonasal resection of sinonasal malignancy.

DATA SOURCES: MEDLINE, PubMed Central, NCBI Bookshelf, Cochrane Library, clinicaltrials.gov, National Guideline Clearinghouse.

REVIEW METHODS: PRISMA/MOOSE guidelines were followed. MeSH terms were "endoscopic" AND ("esthesioneuroblastoma" OR "sinonasal adenocarcinoma" OR "squamous cell carcinoma" OR "sinonasal undifferentiated carcinoma"). For studies in which individual-level data were available, results were obtained by direct pooling. For studies in which only summary Kaplan-Meier curves were available, numerical data were extracted, traced, and aggregated by fitting a Weibull model.

RESULTS: Of 320 studies identified, 35 case series were included (n = 952 patients), with 15 studies analyzed via aggregate modeling and 20 studies analyzed via direct pooling. Two- and 5-year survival rates for patients in aggregate modeling were 87.5% and 72.3%, respectively (mean follow-up: 32.9 months). Two- and 5-year survival for patients in direct pooling were 85.8% and 83.5%, respectively (mean follow-up: 43.0 ± 19.5 months). Significant overall survival difference was found between low- and high-grade cancers (P = .015) but not between low- and high-stage cancers (P = .79).

CONCLUSION: Overall 2- and 5-year survival rates are comparable and sometimes greater than those from open craniofacial resection. Survival rates significantly differ by cancer grade but not stage. Journals and investigators should be encouraged to publish retrospective and prospective case series with staged survival updates based on established guidelines.

description: InN quantum dots (QDs) are considered to be promising nanostructures for different device applications. For any hexagonal AB stacking semiconductor system, polarity is an important feature which affects the electronic properties. Therefore, the determination of this characteristic on any wurtzite (semi)polar III nitride compound or alloy is essential for defining its applicability. In this paper, the polarity of InN QDs grown on silicon by indium droplet epitaxy plus nitridation and annealing was determined by a modified approach combining exit wave reconstruction with negative spherical aberration high resolution lattice imaging using TEM. Comparing the micrographs of two QDs from the same TEM specimen with the simulated images of InN slab structures generated under the same conditions as of the experiments, it was confirmed that the QDs of the present study are N polar. Given that the settlement of material's polarity has always been a tedious, indirect and controversial issue, the major value of our proposal is to provide a straightforward procedure to determine the polar direction from atomic-resolution focal series images.

description: Neurological diseases and injuries present some of the greatest challenges in modern medicine, often causing irreversible and lifelong burdens in the people whom they afflict. These diagnoses have devastating consequences on millions of people each year, and yet there are currently no therapies or interventions that can repair the structure of neural circuits and restore neural tissue function in the brain and spinal cord. Despite the challenges of overcoming these limitations, there are many new approaches under development that hold much promise. Neural tissue engineering aims to restore and influence the function of damaged or diseased neural tissue generally through the use of stem cells and biomaterials. In this paper, several new 3D tissue constructs and designs are described for functional reconstruction of neural architecture. With the use of induced pluripotent stem cells or induced neuronal cells, these 3D constructs could then be studied as regional models of the central nervous system or could one day be implemented as autologous grafts into damaged sites of the nervous system in order to restore neural function, particularly for damaged sites of spinal cord, areas of stroke infarction, tumor resection sites, peripheral nerve injuries, or areas of neurodegeneration.

description: This dissertation seeks to understand the long-term implications of uncertain energy storage deployments and chemistries on battery mineral infrastructure. We analyzed supply chain risks, production capacity, and recycling in use-case scenarios that varied battery chemistry and demand. We first analyzed tradeoffs between battery mineral supply chain risks and battery performance characteristics for global stationary storage. We compared electrochemical batteries, including lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), and found that lithium iron phosphate (LFP) generally has the fewest supply risks despite high material needs and low specific energy. LFP may be the most appealing choice for stationary storage installations where energy and power density are not essential. Our results indicate that supply chain risks for lithium nickel manganese cobalt oxide (NMC) 811 are similar to NMC 111. However, surprisingly, in our framework, the nickel in NMC 811 has more environmental impacts than the cobalt in NMC 111. Our research on global material production capacity for scenarios of LIB chemistry mixes and electric vehicle (EV) car deployments suggests that meeting global demand for refined cobalt may be challenging in 1 to 15 years, even under high production capacity levels. Class 1 nickel demand in EV cars may surpass production capacity in 15 to 20 years under average and high production levels. Our findings indicate that nickel composition in spent end-of-life (EOL) EV batteries in the U.S. will remain high relative to cobalt or lithium in the next 30 years, regardless of which battery chemistry becomes dominant in the market. High nickel content may alleviate recyclers' concerns about recent developments to swap out nickel- and cobaltconcentrated chemistries for LFPs. The mass of U.S. EOL battery materials in all scenarios surpasses our slow, medium, and fast growth cases for U.S. recycling capacity. The findings of this thesis are relevant to policies that aim to reduce long-term risks to battery materials.

description: A general algorithm for handling the energy dependence of hadron-nucleon amplitudes in the nuclear medium, consistently with their density dependence, has been recently applied to antikaons, eta mesons and pions interacting with nuclei. Here we apply this approach to antiprotons below threshold, analyzing experimental results for antiprotonic atoms across the periodic table. It is also applied to antiproton and antineutron interaction with nuclei up to 400 MeV/c, comparing with elastic scattering and annihilation cross sections. The underlying $\bar pN$ scattering amplitudes are derived from the Paris $\bar NN$ potential, including modifications in the medium. Emphasis is placed on the role of the $P$-wave amplitudes with respect to the repulsive $S$-wave amplitudes.
