description: Wir beschreiben unsere Erfahrungen mit unserer Technik zur Lokalisierung von Code-Teilen, die eine gegebene Produktfunktion implementieren. Wir untersuchen den Informationsgewinn, der sich erzielen lässt, wenn man die dynamische Information auf Grundblockebene durchführt statt auf Funktionsebene, und welchen Preis man in Bezug auf Speicher- und Rechenbedarf der Begriffsanalyse hierfür bezahlen muss. Außerdem untersuchen wir den Einfluss der Abdeckung der Produktfunktionen (vollständige versus partielle versus redundante) auf die Ergebnisse.
Generator Coordinate Calculations for the Breathing-Mode Giant Monopole Resonance in Relativistic Mean Field Theory

description: The breathing-mode giant monopole resonance (GMR) is studied within the framework of the relativistic mean-field theory using the Generator Coordinate Method (GCM). The constrained incompressibility and the excitation energy of isoscalar giant monopole states are obtained for finite nuclei with various sets of Lagrangian parameters. A comparison is made with the results of nonrelativistic constrained Skyrme Hartree-Fock calculations and with those from Skyrme RPA calculations. In the RMF theory the GCM calculations give a transition density for the breathing mode, which resembles much that obtained from the Skyrme HF+RPA approach and also that from the scaling mode of the GMR. From the systematic study of the breathing-mode as a function of the incompressibility in GCM, it is shown that the GCM succeeds in describing the GMR energies in nuclei and that the empirical breathing-mode energies of heavy nuclei can be reproduced by forces with an incompressibility close to $K = 300$ MeV in the RMF theory.

An Analytic Approach to the Structure and Composition of General Learning Problems
Creators: name: Cranko, Zac
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: Gowers presents, in his 2000 essay "The Two Cultures of Mathematics", two kinds of mathematicians he calls the theory-builders and problem-solvers. Of course both kinds of research are important; theory building may directly lead to solutions to problems, and by studying individual problems one uncovers the general structures of problems themselves. However, referencing a remark of Atiyah, Gowers observes that because so much research is produced, the results that can be ``organised coherently and explained economically'' will be the ones that last. Unlike mathematics, the field of machine learning abounds in problem-solvers --- this is wonderful as it leads to a large number of problems being solved --- but it is with regard to the point of Gowers that we are motivated to develop an appropriately general analytic framework to study machine learning problems themselves. To do this we first locate and develop the appropriate analytic objects to study. Chapter 2 recalls some concepts and definitions from the theory of topological vector spaces. In particular, the families of radiant and co-radiant sets and dualities. In Chapter 4 we will need generalisations of a variety of existing results on these families, and these are presented in Chapter 3. Classically a machine learning problem involves four quantities: an outcome space, a family of predictions (or model), a loss function, and a probability distribution. If the loss function is sufficiently general we can combine it with the set of predictions to form a set of real functions, which under very general assumptions, turns out to be closed, convex, and in particular, co-radiant. With the machinery of the previous two chapters in place, in Chapter 4 we lay out the foundations for an analytic theory of the classical machine learning problem, including a general analysis of link functions, by which we may rewrite almost any loss function as a scoring rule; a discussion of scoring rules and their properisation; and using the co-radiant results from Chapter 3 in particular, a theory of prediction aggregation. Chapters 5 and 6 develop results inspired by and related to adversarial learning. Chapter 5 develops a theory of boosted density estimation with strong convergence guarantees, where density updates are computed by training a classifier, and Chapter 6 uses the theory of optimal transport to formulate a robust Bayes minimisation problem, in which we develop a universal theory of regularisation and deliver new strong results for the problem of adversarial learning.

description: The large mass limit of QCD uncovers symmetries that are not present in the QCD lagrangian. These symmetries have been applied to physical (finite mass) systems, such as B and D mesons. We explore the validity of this approximation in the 't Hooft model (two-dimensional QCD in the large-N approximation). We find that the large mass approximation is good, even at the charm mass, for form factors, but it breaks down for the pseudoscalar decay constant.

description: Statistical aspects of the dynamics of chaotic scattering in the classical model of $α$-cluster nuclei are studied. It is found that the dynamics governed by hyperbolic instabilities which results in an exponential decay of the survival probability evolves to a limiting energy distribution whose density develops the Boltzmann form. The angular distribution of the corresponding decay products shows symmetry with respect to $π/2$ angle. Time estimated for the compound nucleus formation ranges within the order of $10^{-21}$s.

From the Red River to the Yellow River
Creators: name: Livdahl, David A.
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2013

description: A Note Regarding This Article and the Author Readers should note that this article is not a traditional academic piece. Rather, we have invited Mr. David Livdahl (Columbia Law School ’77) to conclude our Symposium issue by discussing his 36-year career as a legal practitioner, including 26 years in Asia. Mr. Livdahl is a partner in the corporate practice of Paul Hastings and is currently stationed in the firm’s Beijing office. During his extensive career, Mr. Livdahl has been an influential practitioner in both China and Japan, representing major companies coming in and out of both countries. Perhaps one would find it very strange, given his roots, for Mr. Livdahl to have risen to his current position as an influential practitioner in Asia. His Minnesota college, during the years he was in school, did not offer any Asian language courses. He notes, at the time, there didn’t appear to be any benefit to learning Chinese other than to join the military or to become an academic. As such, Mr. Livdahl had to do battle with his own school’s administration to have his supplementary Chinese-language courses from other universities recognized on his transcript. He eventually was the first graduate to have a minor in Chinese (despite the fact that Chinese was not even offered at the time). Despite his roots, Mr. Livdahl found himself in the rapidly growing field of legal work in Asia. He was a key player in the founding of his firm’s Tokyo offices, and later was an important leader in the firm’s Hong Kong and Beijing offices. This article chronicles some of the ups and downs of his career. Some of the hardships were major. Many would consider a person crazy to give up a successful career and a one acre property in California to pursue work in Tokyo (an untested market at the time) and be forced to live in what any sane person would consider a very cramped apartment. However, the rewards have been greater. Mr. Livdahl accounts some of his proudest moments as an attorney in Asia, including one experience in which (perhaps exemplifying his Midwestern roots) he helped save his Japanese client’s business by calling upon the assistance of the son of an Idaho farmer. While Mr. Livdahl’s story is certainly unique, our hope is that his experiences can be educational for those considering a legal career in Asia (or considering a legal career in general).

Institutional Arbitrage: China’s Economic Power Protection and International Capital Markets
Creators: name: Chen, Weitseng
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2013

description: How has China been able to offset its institutional weaknesses at home while achieving impressive economic results worldwide without having had to move closer to the existing models of western countries? This article examines international capital market practices and explains why in just a decade, China and its corporate enterprises have transformed from inexperienced conformists, to sophisticated players, and finally to game-changers dominating today’s headlines. By proposing the idea of “institutional arbitrage,” this article argues that China compensates for its internal institutional deficits by leveraging the complexity of regulatory regimes across various countries, and thereby pursues its development strategy with unprecedented speed. With Rule 144A and Regulation S of the U.S. Securities Act serving as platforms for such an approach, obscure domestic regulations in China further set a firewall between domestic and global markets to minimize risk exposure. Consequently, risks are transferred across borders and flow into less-regulated markets overseas, as evidenced by the recent outbreak of corporate frauds surrounding Chinese firms in major global stock exchanges. The proliferation of activities of Chinese firms overseas will foster more political and regulatory clashes between Chinese and foreign regulators in the foreseeable future.

Corporate Ownership and Governance Reforms in Japan: Influence of Globalization and U.S. Practice
Creators: name: Hayashi, Mizuki
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2013

description: This paper is a brief summary and discussion on the recent reforms of Japanese corporations in regards to ownership and board structure. The paper will examine the dissolving of traditional ownership models and legal reform of board structure through reviewing its influence such as recent shareholder activism, hostile takeover, the latest corporate scandal, and further reforms in the regulative environment of Japanese corporate governance in the past few years. Above all, the paper will delve into the conflicts and tensions created by the adoption of US-style shareholder activism or board structures in the corporate world among the Japanese business and legal practices in both country and firm level. The paper provides an analysis from both legal and social perspective, with a view of company as a decision-making group, and focuses on group cohesiveness of Japanese company derived from its ownership and employment structure. The analysis of recent ownership and board reform suggests that while ownership and board structure certainly converge toward Anglo-American style through the reform, the influence of the reforms on corporate governance is still limited or varies by firms, due to the high cohesiveness and conformity of Japanese companies derived from strong ties among their constituencies.

Indonesia's integration into the regional and global economies
Creators: name: Suryanta, Barli
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2021

description: This study analyses Indonesia's engagement with the regional and global economies in terms of trade and investment. It aims to answer three research questions: 1) What are the impediments to Indonesia's trade flows? 2) Does trade protection applied to Indonesia's manufacturing products have an impact on the export performance in manufacturing sectors? and 3) What factors determine foreign direct investment (FDI) bilateral flows in Indonesia? The gravity model is used to answer these questions. The results show that Indonesia's trade flows are sensitive to trade impediments such as tariffs and non-tariff measures as well as to a lack of trade facilitation measures. Behind-the-border non-tariff measures are found to be particularly harmful to trade flows, while providing better trade facilitations at-the-border such as seaport and time to trade has greater impact on trade flows than that of behind-the-border provisions such as container transportation and shipping. The results also suggest that Indonesia's export measures such as export taxes, export quotas and export licencing requirements are negatively associated with manufacturing exports. This study shows that trade protection remains high in Indonesia due to the increasing use of non-tariff measures (NTMs). Furthermore, the lack of trade facilitation contributes to increasing costs of trade, especially those related to trade logistics and administration (red tape). The proliferation of NTMs and the lack of trade facilitation can inhibit Indonesia's further integration its economy into the regional and global economies. The results of the FDI study show that both horizontal (market access motivation) and vertical FDI (low cost inputs motivation) co-exist in the bilateral aggregate data of Indonesia's FDI flows, but the horizontal FDI appears to be more dominant. The dominance of the horizontal type of FDIs in Indonesia's bilateral FDI flows may deny the country's benefits from vertical FDI gains, which can otherwise help Indonesia to participate more in global production networks and thus create more jobs for the Indonesian workforce. Policy focuses on a reduction in Indonesia's NTMs, improving trade facilitation and encouraging vertical FDI is thus suggested in order to increase Indonesia's trade and FDI flows. If these policies can be consistently conducted, they should become powerful drivers of Indonesia's participation in the regional and global economies.

description: In this paper, we investigate the demagnetizing effect in ferrite/PZT/ferrite magnetoelectric (ME) trilayer composites consisting of commercial PZT discs bonded by epoxy layers to Ni-Co-Zn ferrite discs made by a reactive Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) technique. ME voltage coefficients (transversal mode) were measured on ferrite/PZT/ferrite trilayer ME samples with different thicknesses or phase volume ratio in order to highlight the influence of the magnetic field penetration governed by these geometrical parameters. Experimental ME coefficients and voltages were compared to analytical calculations using a quasi-static model. Theoretical demagnetizing factors of two magnetic discs that interact together in parallel magnetic structures were derived from an analytical calculation based on a superposition method. These factors were introduced in ME voltage calculations which take account of the demagnetizing effect. To fit the experimental results, a mechanical coupling factor was also introduced in the theoretical formula. This reflects the differential strain that exists in the ferrite and PZT layers due to shear effects near the edge of the ME samples and within the bonding epoxy layers. From this study, an optimization in magnitude of the ME voltage is obtained. Lastly, an analytical calculation of demagnetizing effect was conducted for layered ME composites containing higher numbers of alternated layers (). The advantage of such a structure is then discussed.

Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2013

description: Recent years have witnessed a rapid increase in communication and economic cooperation between mainland China and Taiwan. Consequently, demand for legal services regarding the other side of the Strait is on the rise, especially the needs of Taiwan for legal services on the mainland side. With the permission of Taiwan residents to sit for the PRC National Judicial Exam and of Taiwan law firms to set up representative offices in mainland China, more and more lawyers from Taiwan have been seeking opportunities in the mainland legal services market. This article gives an introduction of the current situation regarding the legal services market of both sides and proposes that institutional support, cross-strait lawyering cooperation and quality improvement of legal services are desirable in promoting the development of legal services markets across the Strait.

Legal Diffusion and the Legal Profession: An Analysis of the Processes of American Influence on South Korea’s Lawyers
Creators: name: Chisholm, Neil
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2013

description: Writings on legal transplants often focus on the state-to-state spread of legal rules. Yet, other legal phenomena – such as legal ideas, methods, practices, structures, and personnel – can be observed moving across national boundaries and through non-state pathways. This article empirically examines several key processes of American influence on the South Korean legal profession, how they function, and how they affect the practice of law in the country. This article is based on data gathered from interviews with Korean lawyers, judges, and law professors and conceptualizes processes of legal influence using the social science of the diffusion of innovations, a body of knowledge concerned with the spread of objects and ideas. Diffusion theory has rarely been applied to the study of the transnational dissemination of legal phenomena, yet its insights can enhance our understanding of how such processes occur. Drawing on this theory, this study traces the diffusion into and within South Korea of the law firm model for the provision of legal services, American legal documentary styles, financial deal structures, personnel, and the practice of citing U.S. case law in court proceedings. The paper concludes by analyzing the key factors in legal diffusion processes involving the Korean legal profession.

description: Software decay is a phenomenon that plagues all software systems in general, and object oriented systems in particular. Existing approaches fail to effectively address this problem because of their informal nature. We overcome the main deficiencies of other approaches, with the help of two innovations: encapsulation of correlated structural anomalies and machine processable patterns for restructuring. Our method allows unprecedented levels of automation in the decision making process involved in restructuring large object oriented systems.

description: The water content of magma oceans is widely accepted as a key factor that determines whether a terrestrial planet is habitable. Water ocean mass is determined as a result not only of water delivery and loss, but also of water partitioning among several reservoirs. Here we review our current understanding of water partitioning among the atmosphere, magma ocean, and solid mantle of accreting planetary embryos and protoplanets just after giant collisions. Magma oceans are readily formed in planetary embryos and protoplanets in their accretion phase. Significant amounts of water are partitioned into magma oceans, provided the planetary building blocks are water-rich enough. Particularly important but still quite uncertain issues are how much water the planetary building blocks contain initially and how water goes out of the solidifying mantle and is finally degassed to the atmosphere. Constraints from both solar-system explorations and exoplanet observations and also from laboratory experiments are needed to resolve these issues.

description: Recently, Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) has been used for reengineering. The major task here is to find and isolate crosscutting concerns, which is called aspect mining. Detected concerns can be re-implemented as aspects, which reduces complexity and improves maintainability and extensibility of software systems. Several techniques have been proposed for aspect mining, including our DynAMiT approach. It mines aspects in program traces that are generated during program execution. These traces are investigated for recurring patterns of execution relations. The dynamic analysis approach has been chosen because it monitors actual program (i.e., run-time) behaviour instead of potential behaviour, as static program analysis approaches do. However, DynAMiT’s dynamic analysis has limitations that are partly due to dynamic binding at run-time. These can lead to the identification of aspect candidates that have already been encapsulated properly following object-oriented design principles. This paper describes a static extension of the approach that mitigates this problem.

description: It is argued that the observed Thermodynamic Arrow of Time must arise from the boundary conditions of the universe. We analyse the consequences of the no boundary proposal, the only reasonably complete set of boundary conditions that has been put forward. We study perturbations of a Friedmann model containing a massive scalar field but our results should be independent of the details of the matter content. We find that gravitational wave perturbations have an amplitude that remains in the linear regime at all times and is roughly time symmetric about the time of maximum expansion. Thus gravitational wave perturbations do not give rise to an Arrow of Time. However density perturbations behave very differently. They are small at one end of the universe's history, but grow larger and become non linear as the universe gets larger. Contrary to an earlier claim, the density perturbations do not get small again at the other end of the universe's history. They therefore give rise to a Thermodynamic Arrow of Time that points in a constant direction while the universe expands and contracts again. The Arrow of Time does not reverse at the point of maximum expansion. One has to appeal to the Weak Anthropic Principle to explain why we observe the Thermodynamic Arrow to agree with the Cosmological Arrow, the direction of time in which the universe is expanding.

description: The NASA Kepler space telescope has detected solar-like oscillations in several hundreds of single stars, thereby providing a way to determine precise stellar parameters using asteroseismology. In this work, we aim to derive the fundamental parameters of a close triple star system, HD 188753, for which asteroseismic and astrometric observations allow independent measurements of stellar masses. We used six months of Kepler photometry available for HD 188753 to detect the oscillation envelopes of the two brightest stars. For each star, we extracted the individual mode frequencies by fitting the power spectrum using a maximum likelihood estimation approach. We then derived initial guesses of the stellar masses and ages based on two seismic parameters and on a characteristic frequency ratio, and modelled the two components independently with the stellar evolution code CESTAM. In addition, we derived the masses of the three stars by applying a Bayesian analysis to the position and radial-velocity measurements of the system. Based on stellar modelling, the mean common age of the system is $10.8 \pm 0.2\,$Gyr and the masses of the two seismic components are $M_A =$ $0.99 \pm 0.01\,M_\odot$ and $M_{Ba} =$ $0.86 \pm 0.01\,M_\odot$. From the mass ratio of the close pair, $M_{Bb}/M_{Ba} = 0.767 \pm 0.006$, the mass of the faintest star is $M_{Bb} =$ $0.66 \pm 0.01\,M_\odot$ and the total seismic mass of the system is then $M_{syst} =$ $2.51 \pm 0.02\,M_\odot$. This value agrees perfectly with the total mass derived from our orbital analysis, $M_{syst} =$ $2.51^{+0.20}_{-0.18}\,M_\odot$, and leads to the best current estimate of the parallax for the system, $π= 21.9 \pm 0.2\,$mas. In addition, the minimal relative inclination between the inner and outer orbits is $10.9^\circ \pm 1.5^\circ$, implying that the system does not have a coplanar configuration.

In the Eye of the Beholder: A Comparative Study of Public Morality and Free Speech Across the Pacific
Creators: name: Dermott, Terrence
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2013

description: Most modern democracies have embraced some concept of freedom of expression in their system of jurisprudence. This right is not unfettered and the tension between free speech and societal norms is an ongoing legal question. Both Korean and American Courts have addressed the issue of what to do about expressions of sexuality and their place in the public square. However the two countries have different views as to what is obscene, and what to do about such material. These differences arise from different perceptions as to the natural order and what place government should play in people’s lives. These differences drive two of the world’s post-industrial democracies to travel parallel but separate legal paths.

title: Aspect Mining based on Control-Flow
Creators: name: Krinke, Jens

Subjects: subject: aspect mining
subject: crosscutting concern
subject: aspect-oriented design
subject: static
subject: control flow graph
subject: pattern

description: Aspect mining tries to identify crosscutting concerns in existing systems and thus supports the adaption to an aspect-oriented design. This paper describes an automatic static aspect mining approach, where the control flow graphs of a program are investigated for recurring execution patterns based on different constraints, such as the requirement that the patterns have to exist in different calling contexts. A case study done with the implemented tool shows that most discovered crosscutting candidates are most often perfectly good style.

description: The decay constants for the $D$ and $D_S$ mesons, denoted $f_D$ and $f_{D_S}$ respectively, are equal in the $SU(3)_V$ limit, as are the hadronic amplitudes for $B_S-\bar B_S$ and $B^0-\bar B^0$ mixing. The leading $SU(3)_V$ violating contribution to $\left( f_{D_S} / f_D \right)$ and to the ratio of hadronic matrix elements relevant for $B_S-\bar B_S$ and $B^0-\bar B^0$ mixing amplitudes are calculated in chiral perturbation theory. We discuss the formalism needed to include both meson and anti-meson fields in the heavy quark effective theory.

Algebras with two multiplications and their cumulants

subject: Primary 05E40, Secondary 05C30, 05E05

description: Cumulants are a notion that comes from the classical probability theory, they are an alternative to a notion of moments. We adapt the probabilistic concept of cumulants to the setup of a linear space equipped with two multiplication structures. We present an algebraic formula which involves those two multiplications as a sum of products of cumulants. In our approach, beside cumulants, we make use of standard combinatorial tools as forests and their colourings. We also show that the resulting statement can be understood as an analogue of Leonov--Shiraev's formula. This purely combinatorial presentation leads to some conclusions about structure constant of Jack characters.

The Standards of Judgment for Dispute Resolution in Financial ADR of Japan
Creators: name: Yanase, Shuji
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2013

description: Japan’s modern financial alternative dispute resolution (ADR) system was established by a series of revisions to 17 separate financial and banking statutes. While the revisions established a system in which financial disputes could be heard, they were notably silent on the standards for judgment. This article seeks to extrapolate those standards. First, this article looks towards the standards of judgment used for general ADR. I begin by establishing the historical context of ADR in Japan, followed by analyzing Japan’s modern ADR laws. I describe, in detail, key provisions from the ADR Promotion Act, the Civil Conciliation Act, and the Arbitration Act, with a particular focus on the requirements for “rule of law.” Second, I analyze the financial ADR laws of the United Kingdom and how the courts have interpreted standards of judgment for those laws. Third, I attempt to extrapolate standards of judgment for financial ADR in Japan by looking towards the “purpose” provisions of the various financial / banking laws. I analyze the purpose of the financial ADR system in light of the needs of disputing parties and with a view towards the underlying administrative goals of the government agencies responsible for the supervision of financial service providers. I further apply, by analogy, the key provisions of the Civil Conciliation Act to further refine my interpretation. I conclude that there are no rigid standards. Rather, judgments ought to be made in accordance with the “fair and reasonable (Jori),” which is a reflection of the “common sense” prevailing in society or “good sense” prevailing in the relevant financial service industries. In addition, judgments should be made with the aim towards maintaining the public’s trust in financial services. Insofar as these standards are satisfied, judgments can depart from application of statutory laws or court precedents. In light of these extrapolations, this article concludes with a checklist of requirements for financial ADR judgments. These checklists are a combination of the positive and negative requirements extrapolated from relevant ADR laws, the purpose of the financial / banking laws, and the needs for disputing parties.

Chinese Immigration Law and Policy: A Case of ‘Change Your Direction, or End Up Where You Are Heading’?
Creators: name: Zhu, Guobin
name: Price, Rohan
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Asian Law
Year: 2013

description: Laozi’s famous call for reform in the title of this paper is a useful metaphor for the need to address the outdated settings that constitute much of China’s policy toward resident aliens. This is because unless there is improvement in the laws, there will be more social and economic exclusions of migrant populations at a time when cohesion is politically paramount. Formalizing the position of resident aliens presents a unique economic opportunity for China to harness such people with an assimilation policy. In turn, this will increase the nation’s revenue base and enlarge the polity’s conception of what it is to be a Chinese. By translating from Chinese to English the views of a range of academics, policy makers, and local officials, this article makes available to a Western audience the Middle Kingdom’s increasingly contentious discourse on immigration. By reviewing the 1985 Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Control of Entry and Exit ofAliens and the 2012 Law of the People’s Republic of China on the Administration of Exit and Entry, this article argues that the Chinese immigration law is at a crossroad. By making a special reference to African nationals immigrating to Guangzhou City, this article surveys the law to establish what is wrong with it and how it needs to be changed.
