How to Couple from the Past Using a Read-Once Source of Randomness
Creators: name: Wilson, David B.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Probability (math.PR)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We give a new method for generating perfectly random samples from the stationary distribution of a Markov chain. The method is related to coupling from the past (CFTP), but only runs the Markov chain forwards in time, and never restarts it at previous times in the past. The method is also related to an idea known as PASTA (Poisson arrivals see time averages) in the operations research literature. Because the new algorithm can be run using a read-once stream of randomness, we call it read-once CFTP. The memory and time requirements of read-once CFTP are on par with the requirements of the usual form of CFTP, and for a variety of applications the requirements may be noticeably less. Some perfect sampling algorithms for point processes are based on an extension of CFTP known as coupling into and from the past; for completeness, we give a read-once version of coupling into and from the past, but it remains unpractical. For these point process applications, we give an alternative coupling method with which read-once CFTP may be efficiently used.

description: In the 21st century, ubiquitous technologies strengthen ubiquitous surveillance. Although the right to privacy is protected by the Constitution, challenges persist with respect to how it is interpreted in an age of data-rich technologies. This paper examines how the deficiencies of the Fourth Amendment in an age of techno-surveillance contribute to the widening scope and success of modern surveillance. The discussion outlines how modern communications technologies have coalesced with surveillance programs of the New York City Police Department, the National Security Agency, and commercial applications such as Facebook, and identifies how intractable institutional programs contribute to a lasting cultural effect in our society. The result is a snowballing effect of normalization: an identifiable cultural change in sociological expectations of privacy. On the one hand, state authorities such as the NSA can monitor and intercept all activity and interactions, with or without a warrant. Along the same lines, data collection on Facebook thrives through its commercialized “opt-out” or pseudo-participatory model, in which consent is assumed or obtained covertly. While technological advances and legal reality are the common denominators of all three institutional models considered in this paper, Facebook’s surveillance structure presents the best opportunity for sociocultural expectations to oscillate. The threats posed by Facebook on freedom and autonomy are causing alarm and panic that, for the first time, are forming ripples of action against pervasive surveillance.

description: The detection of the gravitational waves emitted in the capture process of a compact object by a massive black hole is known as an extreme-mass ratio inspiral (EMRI) and represents a unique probe of gravity in the strong regime and is one of the main targets of LISA. The possibility of observing a compact-object EMRI at the Galactic Centre (GC) when LISA is taking data is very low. However, the capture of a brown dwarf, an X-MRI, is more frequent because these objects are much more abundant and can plunge without being tidally disrupted. An X-MRI covers some $\sim 10^8$ cycles before merger, and hence stay on band for millions of years. About $2\times 10^6$ yrs before merger they have a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at the GC of 10. Later, $10^4$ yrs before merger, the SNR is of several thousands, and $10^3$ yrs before the merger a few $10^4$. Based on these values, this kind of EMRIs are also detectable at neighbour MBHs, albeit with fainter SNRs. We calculate the event rate of X-MRIs at the GC taking into account the asymmetry of pro- and retrograde orbits on the location of the last stable orbit. We estimate that at any given moment, and using a conservative approach, there are of the order of $\gtrsim\,20$ sources in band. From these, $\gtrsim\,5$ are circular and are located at higher frequencies, and about $\gtrsim\,15$ are highly eccentric and are at lower frequencies. Due to their proximity, X-MRIs represent a unique probe of gravity in the strong regime. The mass ratio for a X-MRI at the GC is $q \sim 10^8$, i.e., three orders of magnitude larger than stellar-mass black hole EMRIs. Since backreaction depends on $q$, the orbit follows closer a standard geodesic, which means that approximations work better in the calculation of the orbit. X-MRIs can be sufficiently loud so as to track the systematic growth of their SNR, which can be high enough to bury that of MBH binaries.

description: We consider a new technique for neutrino energy and topology reconstruction at DUNE. In particular, we show that when the direction of the incoming neutrino is known, one can use the measured directions of the outgoing leptonic and hadronic particles to reconstruct poorly-measured quantities, such as the hadronic cascade energy. We show that this alternative technique yields an energy resolution which is comparable to current reconstruction methods which sum measured energies. As a proof of concept we apply this new reconstruction method to a search for dark matter annihilation in the Sun. We show that the use of directional information from both the leptonic and hadronic interaction products allows one to effectively reject backgrounds and isolate the signal, giving competitive sensitivities.

Out of sight, out of mind: Exploring the mental health of Asian American lesbians
Creators: Corpus, Melissa J.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2012
Subjects: Counseling psychology

description: Lesbians of color exemplify persons with multiple, marginalized identities.  Scholars theorize that they are susceptible to racist, heterosexist, and sexist discrimination. Given the multiple pathways of discrimination, scholars postulate that lesbians of color are susceptible to adverse mental health outcomes, such as depression, anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorders, and decreased life satisfaction (Williams and Williams-Morris, 2000).  However, most literature on lesbians of color and mental health is primarily theoretical or conceptual while empirical evidence is limited.  Further, the scant literature on lesbians of color that exists primarily explore Black and/or Latina lesbians, while very little is known about the mental health of Asian American and Native American lesbians. The purpose of my research study was to explore how Asian American lesbians' mental health is affected by the convergence of multiple societal oppressions such as racism, heterosexism, and sexism (N=167).  Additionally, I explored how both enculturation and unsupportive social interactions among Asian American lesbians moderates the relationship between mental health and perceived experiences with racism, heterosexism, sexism.  Perceived experiences with racist, heterosexist, and sexist events were each measured by Asian American Racism-Related Stress Inventory (AARRSI; Liang, Li, and Kim, 2004), Heterosexist Harassment, Rejection, and Discrimination Scale (HHRD; Szymanski, 2006), and Schedule of Sexist Events (SSE; Klonoff and Landrine, 1995), respectively.  To measure each moderator, level of enculturation and unsupportive social interactions, the study utilized Asian Values Scale (AVS; Kim et al., 1999) and Unsupportive Social Interactions Inventory (USII; Ingram, Betz, et al., 2001), respectively.  Lastly, mental health outcomes were measured by Mental Health Inventory (MHI; Veit and Ware, 1983).  Correlation analysis and multiple regression analyses evaluated the relationship among these variables.  Results indicated that heterosexist events uniquely predicted mental health, unsupportive social interactions were predictive of mental health, and unsupportive social interactions significantly moderated the relationship between perceived experiences with racism and mental health.  Limitations and implications future research and clinical practice are discussed.
Dynamical Superfluid-Insulator Transition in a Chain of Weakly Coupled Bose-Einstein Condensates

description: We predict a dynammical classical superfluid-insulator transition (CSIT) in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) trapped in an optical and a magnetic potential. In the tight-binding limit, this system realizes an array of weakly-coupled condensates driven by an external harmonic field. For small displacements of the parabolic trap about the equilibrium position, the BEC center of mass oscillates with the relative phases of neighbouring condensates locked at the same (oscillating) value. For large displacements, the BEC remains localized on the side of the harmonic trap. This is caused by a randomization of the relative phases, while the coherence of each individual condensate in the array is preserved. The CSIT is attributed to a discrete modulational instability, occurring when the BEC center of mass velocity is larger than a critical value, proportional to the tunneling rate between adjacent sites.

description: Works of literature written by Native Americans have long been treated by readers and critics as expressions of cultural identity: transparent representations of communal world-views, traditional belief-systems, or sets of cultural practices. Often, such ethnographic readings come at the expense of understanding how these texts express the political concerns of their authors. My dissertation pushes back against such readings, showing how Ojibwe writers attempt to use literature as a means of shaping public opinion in the pursuit of pragmatic political goals. Reconsidering Ojibwe writing in this way, I examine how Ojibwe authors use their work to engage in dialog with non-Native readers and writers in the U.S.--an interaction they insist be understood as transnational. By comparing literary representations of the Ojibwe produced by both U.S. writers and the Ojibwe themselves, I show how poems, novels, and dramatic works have been the site at which the possibility of Ojibwe nationhood has been imagined and contested for nearly two centuries. In so doing, I suggest that Ojibwe literature is not a stable and homogenous category, but an expedient response to U.S. settler-colonialism defined by a shared set of political commitments. In so doing, I complicate prior theorizations of indigenous literary nationalism as a project primarily oriented toward cultural separatism, replacing them with a more nuanced model of continual, if agonistic, engagement on the imperfectly leveling field of literary representation.

description: Research suggests that suspensions are detrimental to students' socio-emotional and academic development and to the likelihood that they graduate from high school. This literature often describes the types of students who are suspended or the relationships between suspension and student outcomes, either through qualitative methods or quantitative methods that fail to adequately account for the differences between students who are and are not suspended. Using longitudinal administrative data from New York City, I build upon extant research by estimating the link between suspension and short-term academic outcomes within a student fixed effects framework. This approach eliminates unmeasured differences across students that are associated with both the likelihood of being suspended and important student outcomes. I then estimate the link between suspension and long-term academic outcomes using propensity score matching. I find that suspension is associated with increased absences and latenesses, and a decreased likelihood of passing courses the term in which the suspension occurred. Furthermore, suspension is associated with a lower likelihood of graduating within four, five, or six years, and a decreased likelihood of passing Regents exams.

description: This paper proposes a cooperative lane changing strategy using a transferable utility games framework. This allows vehicles to engage in transactions where gaps in traffic are created in exchange for monetary compensation. The proposed approach is best suited to discretionary lane change maneuvers. We formulate gains in travel time, referred to as time differences, that result from achieving higher speeds. These time differences, coupled with value of time, are used to formulate a utility function, where utility is transferable. We also allow for games between connected vehicles that do not involve transfer of utility. We apply Nash bargaining theory to solve the latter. A cellular automaton is developed and utilized to perform simulation experiments that explore the impact of such transactions on traffic conditions (travel-time savings, resulting speed-density relations and shock wave formation) and the benefit to vehicles. The results show that lane changing with transferable utility between drivers can help achieve win-win results, improve both individual and social benefits without resulting in any adverse effects on traffic characteristics in general and, in fact, result in slight improvement at traffic densities outside of free-flow and (bumper-to-bumper) jammed traffic.

description: We report magnetic-field-induced first-order phase transitions in the ferro-quadrupole (FQ) ordered state of PrTi2Al20, in which non-Kramers Pr3+ ions with two 4f electrons have a non-magnetic Gamma3 doublet ground state in the cubic Td crystalline electric field. For magnetic fields along [111], 27Al-NMR and magnetization experiments reveal Qz \propto 3z2-r2 type FQ order below 2 K independent of field strength. Magnetic fields along [001] or [110], however, induce discontinuous switching of order parameters within the two dimensional space spanned by Qz and Qx \propto x2-y2 at small field values less than a few tesla. A symmetry-based theoretical analysis shows that the transitions can be caused by competition between the magnetic Zeeman interaction and anisotropy in the quadrupole-quadrupole interactions, if the latter dominates over the former in low fields and vice versa in high fields. Furthermore, striking violation of proportionality between NMR Knight shift and magnetic susceptibility is observed in the symmetry-broken FQ phases, indicating significant influence of FQ order on the hybridization between conduction and f electrons, which in turn mediates the RKKY-type quadrupole interaction causing the FQ order. This feedback effect may be a specific feature of quadrupole orders not commonly observed in magnetic phase transitions and play a key role for inducing the discontinuous transitions.

description: We explore the connection between self-organized criticality and phase transitions in models with absorbing states. Sandpile models are found to exhibit criticality only when a pair of relevant parameters - dissipation epsilon and driving field h - are set to their critical values. The critical values of epsilon and h are both equal to zero. The first is due to the absence of saturation (no bound on energy) in the sandpile model, while the second result is common to other absorbing-state transitions. The original definition of the sandpile model places it at the point (epsilon=0, h=0+): it is critical by definition. We argue power-law avalanche distributions are a general feature of models with infinitely many absorbing configurations, when they are subject to slow driving at the critical point. Our assertions are supported by simulations of the sandpile at epsilon=h=0 and fixed energy density (no drive, periodic boundaries), and of the slowly-driven pair contact process. We formulate a field theory for the sandpile model, in which the order parameter is coupled to a conserved energy density, which plays the role of an effective creation rate.

Cultural keystone species in oil sands mine reclamation, Fort McKay, Alberta, Canada

Year: 2010

description: Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada is the centre of mining extraction of oil sands (bitumen) resources on a large scale - currently three mining operators produce approximately 1,000,000 bbl per day on a footprint of approximately 50,000 ha. Although Fort McMurray is the population centre associated with this development, the indigenous community of Fort McKay is at the epicenter of the existing mine developments. The residents of Fort McKay view human and environmental health as inextricably linked, and thus the effects of development and subsequent reclamation is experienced on both cultural and ecological levels. Fort McKay is actively engaged in working with the local mining companies on issues of mine reclamation design, but for these reclamation efforts to be meaningful to local people, they must take into consideration more than ecological functionality and address the linked social factors. One method of addressing linked social and ecological issues is through use of the Cultural Keystone Species (CKS) concept. CKS - salient plant or animal species with a defining influence on a particular culture — offer a culturally meaningful tether for communities with landscapes in transition. This paper will present results of the application of the Cultural Keystone Species (CKS) model in the community of Fort McKay as a mechanism to address social, ecological and spiritual values in regional mine-land reclamation. Through a literature review and extensive community interviews, five CKS were identified and used to focus discussions and ultimately recommendations for relevant land reclamation within Fort McKay traditional territory. This community-based collaborative project illuminated environmental, social and policy implications for local communities and industry partners.

description: We discuss the nature of charge transfer in molecular conductors upon connecting to two metallic contacts and imposing a voltage bias across them. The sign of the charge transfer (oxidation vs. reduction) depends on the position of the metal Fermi energy with respect to the molecular levels. In addition, the charge transfer depends on the strength of the coupling (chemisorption vs. physisorption) with the contacts. A convenient way to establish the nature and onset of the charge transfer and the corresponding features in the I-V is to draw an energy level diagram for each spin species. Starting from such a level diagram, we argue that transport in the Tour-Reed switching molecules, which consist of a central phenyl ring with a nitroamine redox center, involves the oxidation of a highest occupied molecular orbital (HOMO)-based level.

description: Hellaby & Dray (gr-qc/9404001) have recently claimed that matter conservation fails under a change of signature, compounding earlier claims that the standard junction conditions for signature change are unnecessary. In fact, if the field equations are satisfied, then the junction conditions and the conservation equations are satisfied. The failure is rather that the authors did not make sense of the field equations and conservation equations, which are singular at a change of signature.

description: We present a fully differential and spin-dependent $t$-channel single-top-quark calculation at next-to-leading order (NLO) in QCD including off-shell effects by using the complex mass scheme in the Standard Model (SM) and in the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT). We include all relevant SMEFT operators at $1/Λ^2$ that contribute at NLO in QCD for a fully consistent comparison to the SM at NLO. In addition, we include chirality flipping operators that do not interfere with the SM amplitude and contribute only at $1/Λ^4$ with a massless $b$-quark. Such higher order effects are usually captured by considering anomalous right-handed $Wtb$ and left-handed $Wtb$ tensor couplings. Despite their formal suppression in the SMEFT, they describe an important class of models for new physics. Our calculation and analysis framework is publicly available in MCFM.

description: Reliable and robust convergence to the electronic ground state within density functional theory (DFT) Kohn-Sham (KS) calculations remains a thorny issue in many systems of interest. In such cases, charge sloshing can delay or completely hinder the convergence. Here, we use an approach based on transforming the time-dependent DFT equations to imaginary time, followed by imaginary-time evolution, as a reliable alternative to the self-consistent field (SCF) procedure for determining the KS ground state. We discuss the theoretical and technical aspects of this approach and show that the KS ground state should be expected to be the long-imaginary-time output of the evolution, independent of the exchange-correlation functional or the level of theory used to simulate the system. By maintaining self-consistency between the single-particle wavefunctions and the electronic density throughout the determination of the stationary state, our method avoids the typical difficulties encountered in SCF. To demonstrate dependability of our approach, we apply it to selected systems which struggle to converge with SCF schemes. In addition, through the van Leeuwen theorem, we affirm the physical meaningfulness of imaginary time TDDFT, justifying its use in certain topics of statistical mechanics such as in computing imaginary time path integrals.

Out with the Old, In with the New: Youth-Led Approaches to Transitional Justice from Tunisia

description: In response to the institutionalisation of the transitional justice field, and its predilection towards top-down approaches, it has been increasingly recognised that informal methods and marginalised groups can play important roles in catalysing a broader process of transitional justice. Nevertheless, the roles of young people in these processes have often been disregarded and dismissed by scholars and practitioners alike. Tunisia represents a critical case to test the idea that young people, specifically youth activists, might be seen as a resource in transitional justice processes. Young Tunisians have been hailed domestically and internationally as the revolutionaries that sparked a transition to democracy, yet in the transitional process, “youth” have been repeatedly classified as too politically disengaged and inexperienced to affect the processes of democratisation and transitional justice. These reductions of youth agency mirror the simplification of transitional justice to a process of legal and political contest and neglect the role that youth, as a marginalised community, might play in catalysing a process of transitional justice via less formal methods. Drawing from field research conducted in Tunisia from June to August 2019, this study finds that, as young Tunisians were marginalised from the official processes of transitional justice, they actively sought and offered alternative approaches that were critical to a much broader, societal project of pursuing transitional justice from the bottom up. Specifically exploring young activists’ command of the street and use of the arts, the paper sheds light on the value of informal methods in catalysing the process of truth-telling, demanding accountability, and the imagination of justice, as well as the important role of youth in orchestrating these alternative methods of justice-seeking that have been so critical to the fiercely contested transition in Tunisia.

description: Multi-species reaction-diffusion systems, with nearest-neighbor interaction on a one-dimensional lattice are considered. Necessary and sufficient constraints on the interaction rates are obtained, that guarantee the closedness of the time evolution equation for $E^{\mathbf a}_n(t)$'s, the expectation value of the product of certain linear combination of the number operators on $n$ consecutive sites at time $t$. The constraints are solved for the single-species left-right-symmetric systems. Also, examples of multi-species system for which the evolution equations of $E^{\mathbf a}_n(t)$'s are closed, are given.

Null Second Order Corrections to Casimir Energy in Weak Gravitational Field

description: The discussion of vacuum energy is currently a subject of great theoretical importance, specially concerning the cosmological constant problem in General Relativity. From Quantum Field Theory, it is stated that vacuum states subject to boundary conditions may generate tensions on these boundaries related to a measurable non-zero renormalized vacuum energy: the Casimir Effect. As such, investigating how these vacuum states and energy behave in curved backgrounds is just natural and might provide important results in the near future. In this paper we revisit a model of the Casimir Effect in weak gravitational field background, which has been proposed and further generalized in the literature. A trick originally used to simplify calculations is shown to lead to a wrong value for the energy shift, and by performing explicit mode expansion we arrive at an unexpected result: null gravitational correction even at order $(M/R)^2$, in opposition to earlier results.

Out of the Néant into the Everyday: A Rediscovery of Mallarmé's Poetics
Creators: Martin, Séverine

Year: 2013
Subjects: French poetry
Aesthetics
Romance literature

description: This dissertation, focusing on the Vers de circonstance, takes issue with traditional views on Stéphane Mallarmé's aesthetics and his positioning on the relation of art to society. Whereas Mallarmé has often been branded as an ivory-tower poet, invested solely in abstract ideals and removed from the masses, my research demonstrates his interest in concrete essences and the small events of the everyday. As such, the Vers de circonstance offer an exemplary entry point to understanding these poetic preoccupations as the poems of this collection are both characterized by their materiality and their celebration of ordinary festivities. Indeed, most of the poems either accompany or are directly written on objects that were offered as gifts on such occasions as birthdays, anniversaries or seasonal holidays. The omnipresence of objects and dates that can be referred back to real events displays Mallarmé's on-going questioning on the relation of art to reality. As I show, some of these interrogations rejoin the aesthetic preoccupations of the major artistic currents of the time, such as Impressionism in France and the Decorative Arts in England. These movements were defining new norms for the representation of reality in reaction to the changes of nineteenth century society. But as the genetic study of the Vers de circonstance reveals, along with the contextual framing and analysis of his other works, the occasional and the concept of the real play a fundamental role in his poetics at large. On the one hand, the aesthetic concept of the real allows him to draw the attention of his readers to the tension between the concreteness of reality with its elusiveness and ephemerality. On the other hand, the occasional is a way for Mallarmé to humanize the otherwise anonymous and impersonal quality of print. In an epoch when reality became mechanically reproducible and the distance between an author and its readers became increasingly distant and diffuse, the questions posed by Mallarmé on the relation of art to real objects, people and events were fundamental. As I conclude, therefore, the use of widely accessible quotidian objects, the mise en abyme of the visuality of writing, and Mallarmé's programmatic note to the reader to emulate his poetic project, all combine to validate his postulation of a new poetic art turned towards the everyday and his contemporaries.
