description: The ACM RecSys Challenge 2018 focuses on music recommendation in the context of automatic playlist continuation. In this paper, we describe our approach to the problem and the final hybrid system that was submitted to the challenge by our team Cocoplaya. This system consists in combining the recommendations produced by two different models using ranking fusion. The first model is based on Matrix Factorization and it incorporates information from tracks' audio and playlist titles. The second model generates recommendations based on typical track co-occurrences considering their proximity in the playlists. The proposed approach is efficient and achieves a good overall performance, with our model ranked 4th on the creative track of the challenge leaderboard.

New Zealand cities: Gisborne, Hamilton, Lower Hutt, Masterton, Napier, New Plymouth, Palmerston
North, Roturoa, Taupo, Wanganui and Wellington. The table, with 81 species, shows three main
groups dependent on substrate: 1, trampled surfaces with gravel, compacted soil and combinations of
these; 2, flagstones with gaps for plants; and 3, flagstones without gaps or concrete with few cracks.
Most of the species (93 %) are not native to New Zealand. In comparison with phytocoenosis of the
European vegetation the samples show affinities with temperate and Mediterranean trampled area
associations.

Analysis of water usage for Robson and Tec de Monterrey, Vanier Residences, UBC
Creators: name: Cummings, Cassandra
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2015

description: This report is detailing the analysis of monthly water consumption data for two of the Place Vanier residence buildings on UBC Campus, Robson House and Tec de Monterrey House (Figure 1). Robson was built in 1959, and is the oldest of the 12 Place Vanier residence buildings. Tec de Monterrey was built in 2003 and is the newest of the Place Vanier buildings. I emailed the housing department, but was unable to get exact data on the number of residents in each building. Therefore, I went to the buildings themselves to determine the occupancy data. According to residents of Tec de Monterrey, all the bedrooms in the residence are 1 person rooms. There were 41 rooms on the first floor, and 43 rooms for the 2nd through 6th floors, leading to a calculated occupancy of 256 students. In Robson, a floor plan of each floor was available. I was able to count the number of students currently in each room, reaching a count of 102. The assumption of full residences for the entirety of the study is reasonable given that there are currently more students looking to stay in residence than there are residence rooms. This is unlikely to be a new issue. Exceptions to a full residence would include drop outs and students evicted from residence; however, theoretically, the dropout/eviction rates should be similar for each residence.

description: Cross-lingual word embeddings (CLEs) enable multilingual modeling of meaning and facilitate cross-lingual transfer of NLP models. Despite their ubiquitous usage in downstream tasks, recent increasingly popular projection-based CLE models are almost exclusively evaluated on a single task only: bilingual lexicon induction (BLI). Even BLI evaluations vary greatly, hindering our ability to correctly interpret performance and properties of different CLE models. In this work, we make the first step towards a comprehensive evaluation of cross-lingual word embeddings. We thoroughly evaluate both supervised and unsupervised CLE models on a large number of language pairs in the BLI task and three downstream tasks, providing new insights concerning the ability of cutting-edge CLE models to support cross-lingual NLP. We empirically demonstrate that the performance of CLE models largely depends on the task at hand and that optimizing CLE models for BLI can result in deteriorated downstream performance. We indicate the most robust supervised and unsupervised CLE models and emphasize the need to reassess existing baselines, which still display competitive performance across the board. We hope that our work will catalyze further work on CLE evaluation and model analysis.

description: This dissertation is an interdisciplinary and comparative study of German and Italian memory culture after 1945. It examines how the interaction between memorials, litera-ture, historiography, and popular culture shapes a society's memory and identity. I focus on two marginalized aspects of the memory of the Holocaust: the Nazi "euthanasia" program directed against the mentally ill and disabled, and the Fascist persecution of Slovenes, Croats, and Jews in and around Trieste. I couple my analysis of memorials to these atrocities with an examination of the literary and artistic representations of the traumatic events in question. My work thus expands the definition of site of memory to encompass not only the specific geographical location of a historical event but also the assemblage of cultural artefacts and discourses that accumulate around it over time. A "site" therefore denotes a physical and a cultural space that is continuously re-defined and rewritten. The two memorials I analyze, Grafeneck and the Risiera di San Sabba, bookend the Holocaust, revealing a trajectory from the systematic elimination of socially undesirable people, such as the mentally ill and disabled, to the full-scale racial purification of the "final solution." The lack of survivor testimony about these sites has been a major factor in their continued marginalization within the discourse on Holocaust memory, which is why it is all the more important to consider the way these events figure in other genres and other media, such as novels, short stories, poems, biographies, TV-dramas, and theatre plays. This approach allows me to shed new light on canonical works such as Günter Grass's The Tin Drum or the TV-Series Holocaust and to bring into focus works that have so far not received the critical attention they deserve. Through my analysis I show how certain authors participate in a process of vicarious witnessing, lending their voice to those who were not able or permitted to speak for themselves. By bringing these underrepresented sites and memories into focus, I not only argue for a more inclusive memory culture but also reveal how the politics of commemoration continue to lead to the exclusion of persecuted minorities. Thus, my dissertation participates in the broader project within Holocaust studies of opening the discourse to de-particularized, transnational perspectives and other victim groups.
Resonant Energy Exchange between Atoms in Dispersing and Absorbing Surroundings

description: Within the framework of quantization of the macroscopic electromagnetic field, a master equation describing both the resonant dipole-dipole interaction (RDDI) and the resonant atom-field interaction (RAFI) in the presence of dispersing and absorbing macroscopic bodies is derived, with the relevant couplings being expressed in terms of the surroundings-assisted Green tensor. It is shown that under certain conditions the RDDI can be regarded as being governed by an effective Hamiltonian. The theory, which applies to both weak and strong atom-field coupling, is used to study the resonant energy exchange between two (two-level) atoms sharing initially a single excitation. In particular, it is shown that in the regime of weak atom-field coupling there is a time window, where the energy transfer follows a transfer-rate law of the type obtained by ordinary second-order perturbation theory. Finally, the spectrum of the light emitted during the energy transfer is studied and the line splittings are discussed.

description: The U.S. Agricultural Act of 2014 creates a new Margin Protection Program for Dairy (MPP-Dairy) under which dairy farmers can receive indemnity payments from the U.S. government if the margin falls below the insured level. The design of MPP-Dairy suggests that the program has the potential to weaken processes that would adjust milk production, prices and margins if the proportion of milk covered by insurance is large. This paper describes potential impacts of MPP-Dairy using a conceptual analysis (feedback loop diagram), then uses an empirical system dynamics (SD) commodity model for the U.S. dairy industry to assess the impacts quantitatively.

description: A compact device lifted over the ground surface might be used to observe optical radiation of extensive air showers (EAS). Here we consider spatial and temporal characteristics of Vavilov-Cherenkov radiation ("Cherenkov light") reflected from the snow surface of Lake Baikal, as registered by the SPHERE-2 detector. We perform detailed full direct Monte Carlo simulations of EAS development and present a dedicated highly modular code intended for detector response simulations. Detector response properties are illustrated by example of several model EAS events. The instrumental acceptance of the SPHERE-2 detector was calculated for a range of observation conditions. We introduce the concept of "composite model quantities", calculated for detector responses averaged over photoelectron count fluctuations, but retaining EAS development fluctuations. The distortions of EAS Cherenkov light lateral distribution function (LDF) introduced by the SPHERE-2 telescope are understood by comparing composite model LDF with the corresponding function as would be recorded by an ideal detector situated at the ground surface. We show that the uncertainty of snow optical properties does not change our conclusions, and, moreover, that the expected performance of the SPHERE experiment in the task of cosmic ray mass composition study in the energy region $\sim$10 PeV is comparable with other contemporary experiments. Finally, we compare the reflected Cherenkov light method with other experimental techniques and briefly discuss its prospects.

description: The random nature of the micro-structural attributes in materials in general and composite material systems in particular requires expansion of material modeling in a way that will incorporate their inherent uncertainty and predict its impact on material properties and mechanical response in multiple scales. Despite the importance of capturing and modeling material randomness, there are numerous challenges in structural characterization that are yet to be addressed.
      The work presented in this essay takes a few steps towards an improved material modeling approach which encompasses structural randomness in order to produce a more realistic representation of material systems. For this end a computational framework was developed to generate a realistic representative volume element which reflects the inherent structural randomness. First stochastic structural elements were identified and registered from imaging data and parameters were assigned to represent those elements. Statistical characterization of the random attributes was followed by the construction of a representative volume element which shared the same structural statistical characteristics with the original material system. The resultant statistical equivalent representative volume element (SERVE) was then used in finite element simulations which provided homogenized properties and mechanical response predictions. The suggested framework was developed and then implemented on 3 different material systems.
      Image processing and analysis in one of the material systems extended the original scope of this work to solving a machine vision and learning problem. Object segmentation for the purpose object and pattern recognition has been a long standing subject of interest in the field of machine vision. Despite the significant attention given to the development of segmentation and recognition methods, the critical challenge of separating merged objects did not share the spotlight. A simple yet original approach to overcome this hurdle was developed using unsupervised classification and separation of objects in 3D. Lower dimensionality classifiers were joined to provide a powerful higher dimensionality classification tool. The robustness of this approach is illustrated through its implementation on two case studies of merged objects. Applications of this methodology can further extend from structural classification to general problems of clustering and classification in various fields.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: Theoretical models and observations suggest that primordial Stellar Black Holes (Pop-III-BHs) were prolifically formed in HMXBs, which are powerful relativistic jet sources of synchrotron radiation called Microquasars (MQs). Large populations of BH-HMXB-MQs at cosmic dawn produce a smooth synchrotron cosmic radio background (CRB) that could account for the excess amplitude of atomic hydrogen absorption at z~17, recently reported by EDGES. BH-HMXB-MQs at cosmic dawn precede supernovae, neutron stars and dust. BH-HMXB-MQs promptly inject hard X-rays and relativistic jets into the IGM, which overtake the slower expanding HII regions ionized by progenitor Pop-III stars, heating and partially ionizing the IGM over larger distance scales. BH-HMXBs are channels for the formation of Binary-Black-Holes (BBHs). The large masses of BBHs detected by gravitational waves, relative to the masses of BHs detected by X-rays, and the high rates of BBH-mergers, are consistent with high formation rates of BH-HMXBs and BBHs in the early universe.

description: The elimination of the cultural practice of FGM has been a priority for governments and the ‘international community’ from colonial times. A number of approaches have been employed including; community activism, rehabilitation support, education and awareness raising and criminalization. All these approaches are rooted, in strategy or in rationale, in colonial conceptions of personhood, modernity and civilization. A close reading of the intra-Agency statement reveals that harm is mainly conceived by consensus; the question remains whose consensus and the frame within which the consensus is reached. Because Black African Women, African Muslim Women and Black African Muslim Women stand at the intersection of race, gender and sexuality special attention must be paid to the nuances of the effects of coloniality on the various forms of protection. My thesis explores colonial interventions in Kenya in native reproduction and parallels them with modern human rights inflected interventions.

description: Two dimensional (2D) materials have been explosively researched since the discovery of graphene but the applications of 2D materials have been extremely constrained because of a variety of shortcomings in the materials such as zero bandgap in graphene or defective growth techniques for wide-bandgap materials. Nonetheless, such novel materials are very promising in the doomed situation which Moore’s law keeps slowing down. Graphene and αMoO3 have been particularly of interest because graphene has developed large-scale growth methods and αMoO3 has wide bandgap. In case of graphene, searching for the applications with zero bandgap has been important and in the other, αMoO3 has not been developed for large-scale growth techniques yet even though the applications are strongly expected to be developed. In this thesis, unconventional CVD graphene electronics and large scale αMoO3 synthesis have been studied for very large scale integration (VLSI). A 512 flexible graphene voltage amplifier array and the highest peak-to-valley current ratio NDR devices emitting green color in graphene nanogap are presented so that large-scale CMOS compatible circuit integration can be available for bio and RF (radio frequency) applications. Having 2.8eV bandgap, a large-scale growth method for αMoO3 is developed for the first time showing ambipolar and memristive behaviors.

The technique is simply to assume the existence of such a potential in dimension n, and then check the integrability conditions for the assumed system of differential equations; if the integrability conditions yield another non-trivial differential system for L_abc and W_abcd, then this system's integrability conditions should be checked; and so on. When we find a non-trivial condition involving only W_abcd and its derivatives, then clearly Weyl candidate tensors failing to satisfy that condition cannot be written in terms of a Lanczos potential L_abc.

description: AbstractPipeline designs such as on-bottom stability, lateral buckling and axial walking analyses require reliable predictions of the as-laid pipeline embedment. The as-laid embedment is usually significantly larger than that predicted by its submerged self-weight alone. This is mainly attributed to the effects of the stress concentration in the touchdown zone and soil remolding caused by the pipeline dynamic motions during the laying process. Quantification of these effects is often made difficult by the lack of field observations. This study presents a detailed back-analysis of the observed pipeline as-laid embedment in soft clayey soils in the shallow waters of Bengal Bay. Statistical analysis is performed to characterize the inherent variability of the observed embedment. The observed dynamic embedment factor is found to be between 1.08 and 1.96. The degradation of the soil resistance to the pipeline during the dynamic laying process is back-analyzed by a sophisticated method in which the reduction of the stress concentration with the increased embedment of the pipeline is well considered. The remolded soil resistance to the pipeline is found to be 0.48~0.74 of the intact soil in the dynamic laying process. And the degree of soil resistance degradation is found to be smaller when the pipeline static embedment is larger.

description: We present a concept for an ultra-thin solar fuel device with a nanostructured back contact. Using rigorous simulations we show that the nanostructuring significantly increases the absorption in the semiconductor, CuBi$_2$O$_4$ in this case, by 47\% (5.2~mAcm$^{-2}$) through the excitation of plasmonic modes. We are able to attribute the resonances in the device to metal-insulator-metal plasmons coupled to either localised surface plasmon resonances or surface plasmon polaritons. Rounding applied to the metallic corners leads to a blueshift in the resonance wavelength while maintaining absorption enhancement, thus supporting the possibility for a successful realization of the device. For a 2D array, the tolerance of the polarization-dependent absorption enhancement is investigated and compared to a planar structure. The device maintains an absorption enhancement up to incident angles of 75$^{\circ}$. The study highlights the high potential for plasmonics in ultra-thin opto-electronic devices such as in solar fuel generation.

description: The magnetic structure of CsCo2Se2 was investigated using single-crystal neutron diffraction technique. An antiferromagnetic transition with the propagation vector (0,0,1) was observed at T_N = 78 K. The Co magnetic moment 0.772(6) μ_B at 10 K pointing in the basal plane couples ferromagnetically in the plane which stacks antiferromagnetically along the c direction. Tuning and suppressing the interplane antiferromagnetic interaction may be crucial to induce the material to a superconducting state.

The geometry of entanglement witnesses and local detection of entanglement

description: Let $H^{[ N]}=H^{[ d_{1}]}\otimes ... \otimes H^{[ d_{n}]}$ be a tensor product of Hilbert spaces and let $τ_{0}$ be the closest separable state in the Hilbert-Schmidt norm to an entangled state $ρ_{0}$. Let $\tildeτ_{0}$ denote the closest separable state to $ρ_{0}$ along the line segment from $I/N$ to $ρ_{0}$ where $I$ is the identity matrix. Following [pitrubmat] a witness $W_{0}$ detecting the entanglement of $ρ_{0}$ can be constructed in terms of $I, τ_{0}$ and $\tildeτ_{0}$. If representations of $τ_{0}$ and $\tildeτ_{0}$ as convex combinations of separable projections are known, then the entanglement of $ρ_{0}$ can be detected by local measurements. Gühne \textit{et. al.} in [bruss1] obtain the minimum number of measurement settings required for a class of two qubit states. We use our geometric approach to generalize their result to the corresponding two qudit case when $d$ is prime and obtain the minimum number of measurement settings. In those particular bipartite cases, $τ_{0}=\tildeτ_{0}$. We illustrate our general approach with a two parameter family of three qubit bound entangled states for which $τ_{0} \neq \tildeτ_{0}$ and we show our approach works for $n$ qubits. In [pitt] we elaborated on the role of a ``far face'' of the separable states relative to a bound entangled state $ρ_{0}$ constructed from an orthogonal unextendible product base. In this paper the geometric approach leads to an entanglement witness expressible in terms of a constant times $I$ and a separable density $μ_{0}$ on the far face from $ρ_{0}$. Up to a normalization this coincides with the witness obtained in [bruss1] for the particular example analyzed there.

description: In this paper we review different expansions for neutrino oscillation probabilities in matter in the context of long-baseline neutrino experiments. We examine the accuracy and computational efficiency of different exact and approximate expressions. We find that many of the expressions used in the literature are not precise enough for the next generation of long-baseline experiments, but several of them are while maintaining comparable simplicity. The results of this paper can be used as guidance to both phenomenologists and experimentalists when implementing the various oscillation expressions into their analysis tools.

title: Einige Überlegungen zur Einwanderung von Bromus erectus HUDS. in Süd-Niedersachsen
Creators: name: Bornkamm, Reinhard

Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: 58

description: The study aims at contributing to the discussion in which way Bromus erectus invaded into southernmost
Lower Saxony throughout the 20th century. Basing on the data of distribution, and on the
evaluation of the ratio “cover of Bromus erectus/cover of Brachypodium pinnatum” in numerous
phytosociological publications, it should be considered that the path of invasion did not lead straightly
from S to N. The direction along the Eastern and Northern surrounding of the Harz mountains, and
from here southwards through the Leine valley seems more likely. This invasion was mainly released by
the strong reduction of grazing by sheep and goats. On the other hand this change in land use favours
the growth of shrub vegetation and, thus, reduces the area accessible to Bromus erectus.

description: The most neutron-rich boron isotopes 20B and 21B have been observed for the first time following proton removal from 22N and 22C at energies around 230 MeV/nucleon. Both nuclei were found to exist as resonances which were detected through their decay into 19B and one or two neutrons. Two-proton removal from 22N populated a prominent resonance-like structure in 20B at around 2.5 MeV above the one-neutron decay threshold, which is interpreted as arising from the closely spaced 1-,2- ground-state doublet predicted by the shell model. In the case of proton removal from 22C, the 19B plus one- and two-neutron channels were consistent with the population of a resonance in 21B 2.47+-0.19 MeV above the two-neutron decay threshold, which is found to exhibit direct two-neutron decay. The ground-state mass excesses determined for 20,21B are found to be in agreement with mass surface extrapolations derived within the latest atomic-mass evaluations.

description: We explore the relationship between trade adjustment subsidies and successful reciprocal trade liberalization. We consider economies that are faced with a periodic need to move resources out of a declining import-competing sector, and that are attempting to sustain cooperative but self-enforcing trade agreements in the face of these adjustment needs. If the limitations associated with enforcement of international trade agreements are sufficiently severe, trade adjustment assistance can facilitate reciprocal trade liberalization. We argue that this suggests a possible efficiency rationale for adjustment policies that treat resources differently when traded sectors are involved.
The Agricultural Act of 2014 and Prospects for the California Milk Pool Quota Market

description: We find that the Agricultural Act of 2014 has mixed effects on the market for California milk pool quota. First, the new Margin Protection Program (MPP) likely lowers the expected price of quota by increasing future expected dairy profitability. However, the MPP likely mitigates temporary declines in the price of quota by increasing liquidity during financial stress. The proposed federal milk marketing order for California would also have mixed effects on the price of quota. Higher minimum prices cause slightly lower farm profits and thereby raise quota prices. However, de-pooling would reduce the amount of milk eligible for the pool and shift down the demand for quota causing a lower price. Finally, by reducing the perceived quota policy risk, the farm bill contributed to the rise in the price of quota in 2014.
