description: In this work, we propose a novel staged depthwise correlation and feature fusion network, named DCFFNet, to further optimize the feature extraction for visual tracking. We build our deep tracker upon a siamese network architecture, which is offline trained from scratch on multiple large-scale datasets in an end-to-end manner. The model contains a core component, that is, depthwise correlation and feature fusion module (correlation-fusion module), which facilitates model to learn a set of optimal weights for a specific object by utilizing ensembles of multi-level features from lower and higher layers and multi-channel semantics on the same layer. We combine the modified ResNet-50 with the proposed correlation-fusion layer to constitute the feature extractor of our model. In training process, we find the training of model become more stable, that benifits from the correlation-fusion module. For comprehensive evaluations of performance, we implement our tracker on the popular benchmarks, including OTB100, VOT2018 and LaSOT. Extensive experiment results demonstrate that our proposed method achieves favorably competitive performance against many leading trackers in terms of accuracy and precision, while satisfying the real-time requirements of applications.

description: It is well known that the $L_p$-discrepancy for $p \in [1,\infty]$ of the van der Corput sequence is of exact order of magnitude $O((\log N)/N)$. This however is for $p \in (1,\infty)$ not best possible with respect to the lower bounds according to Roth and Proinov. For the case $p=2$ it is well known that the symmetrization trick due to Davenport leads to the optimal $L_2$-discrepancy rate $O(\sqrt{\log N}/N)$ for the symmetrized van der Corput sequence. In this note we show that this result holds for all $p \in (1,\infty)$. The proof is based on an estimate of the Haar coefficients of the corresponding local discrepancy and on the use of the Littlewood-Paley inequality.

description: The LHC, along with all of its experiments, is going through an upgrade. The currentLHC, designed for an integrated luminosity of 300 fb$^{-1}$ , will be upgraded to the HighLuminosity LHC (HL-LHC), providing an increased collision rate and will deliver morethan 3000 fb$^{-1}$ luminosity. All LHC experiments will undergo an upgrade to cope withthe increased luminosity. For the upgrade of the CMS new endcaps have to be designedand built. The main mechanical element of the endcaps will be the half disks with embeddedcooling pipes and detector module positioning inserts. A prototype of a part ofthe endcap half disk has been built and is being studied. During the course of this thesis,measurements were carried out on the prototype to check the precision of various mechanicalelements such a reference inserts or the module inserts, which will be used toposition the detector modules. The measurements were carried out with the metrologyarm made specifically for precision measurements. In order to check the accuracy of thearm different studies were carried out such as the calibration of the probes and the influenceof the movement of the metrology arm with respect to the object. The result ofthe measurement of the prototype demonstrated the cause of a misalignment of inserts,however almost all positions were within specification.

Online toxicity as violence in esports: a League of Legends case study
Creators: name: Wearing, Jamie
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis aims to explore toxicity within esports using a case study of the game League of Legends. Toxicity has become increasingly problematic as online media become more popular, in particular with the growth of online gaming. Gaming has experienced significant growth over the past decade, with an estimated net worth of 200 billion dollars by 2023. A burgeoning sector of gaming is esports, worth 950 million dollars in 2020 and estimated to be worth 1600 million by 2023. Esports are video games played professionally; they draw many elements from traditional sports but exist as their own distinct phenomena. The thesis explores toxicity using the lens of violence to better understand its causes and potential solutions. This means exploring online toxicity as a form of non-physical violence as it appears in the League of Legends online community, including both its fans and industry professionals. The lens of violence allows this thesis to incorporate a wider scope of literature, most notably that of sports literature, to address toxicity. By comparing and contrasting the two contexts of esports and sports along with literature on sports violence, this thesis constructs an understanding of violence in esports, its associated causes, outcomes, and potential solutions. Issues of violence have increasing importance as esports continue to grow and expand their audience, compounding the impacts of toxic behaviour. Given esports culture is new and currently being shaped, action taken now will determine the future of this rapidly growing industry and its community.

description: A method for the substantial reduction of propagation loss of surface plasmons was proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The method is based on the fact that the propagation loss of the surface plasmons depends significantly on the optical confinement of the plasmon. A plasmonic structure, which contains a metal and two dielectric layers of different refractive indexes, is proposed in order to optimize optical confinement and to reduce propagation loss of the surface plasmons. A low propagation loss of 0.17 dB/um for a surface plasmon in a Fe/MgO/AlGaAs plasmonic structure was achieved. A good coupling efficiency of 2.2 dB/facet between a surface plasmon in Fe/MgO/AlGaAs and a waveguide mode in AlGaAs/GaAs optical waveguide was demonstrated.

Kinetics of self-assembly via facilitated diffusion: formation of the transcription complex

description: We present an analytically solvable model for self-assembly of a molecular complex on a filament. The process is driven by a seed molecule that undergoes facilitated diffusion, which is a search strategy that combines diffusion in three-dimensions and one-dimension. Our study is motivated by single molecule level observations revealing the dynamics of transcription factors that bind to the DNA at early stages of transcription. We calculate the probability that a complex made up of a given number of molecules is completely formed, as well as the distribution of completion times, upon the binding of a seed molecule at a target site on the filament (without explicitly modeling the three-dimensional diffusion that precedes binding). We compare two different mechanisms of assembly where molecules bind in sequential and random order. Our results indicate that while the probability of completion is greater for random binding, the completion time scales exponentially with the size of the complex; in contrast, it scales as a power-law or slower for sequential binding, asymptotically. Furthermore, we provide model predictions for the dissociation and residence times of the seed molecule, which are observables accessible in single molecule tracking experiments.

description: On-wafer measurements contain a large variety of parasitic effects degrading the accuracy of multiline Thru-Reflect Line (mTRL) calibration. These effects are caused by internal and external disturbances such as probe effects, multimode propagation, crosstalk between adjacent structures and radiation effects. While a lot of investigations have been performed for the most common coplanar waveguides (CPW) with nominal ground width, CPW with too narrow ground width have not been investigated thoroughly. This paper demonstrates how the probe effects deteriorate the mTRL-calibrated S-parameters for CPW structures with narrow ground width.

description: Post-starburst galaxies host a population of early-type stars (A or F), but simultaneously lack indicators of ongoing star formation such as OII emission. Two distinct stellar populations have been identified in these systems: a young post-starburst population superimposed on an older host population. We present a study of nine post-starburst galaxies with the following objectives: 1) to investigate if and how kinematical differences between the young and old populations of stars can be measured; and 2) to gain insight into the formation mechanism of the young population in these systems. We fit high signal-to-noise spectra with two independent populations in distinct spectral regions: the Balmer region, the MgIb region, and the Ca Triplet when available. We show that the kinematics of the two populations largely track one another if measured in the Balmer region with high signal-to-noise data. Results from examining the Faber-Jackson relation and the Fundamental Plane indicate these objects are not kinematically disturbed relative to more evolved spheroids. A case-study of the internal kinematics of one object in our sample shows it to be pressure-supported and not rotationally-dominated. Overall our results are consistent with merger-induced starburst scenarios where the young population is observed during the later stages of the merger.

description: The feasibility of generation of bright ultrashort gamma-ray pulses is demonstrated in the interaction of a relativistic electron bunch with a counterpropagating tightly-focused superstrong laser beam in the radiation dominated regime. The Compton scattering spectra of gamma-radiation are investigated using a semiclassical description for the electron dynamics in the laser field and a quantum electrodynamical description for the photon emission. We demonstrate the feasibility of ultrashort gamma-ray bursts of hundreds of attoseconds and of dozens of megaelectronvolt photon energies in the near-backwards direction of the initial electron motion. The tightly focused laser field structure and radiation reaction are shown to be responsible for such short gamma-ray bursts which are independent of the durations of the electron bunch and of the laser pulse. The results are measurable with the laser technology available in a near-future.

description: Proper nutrition during pregnancy provides fundamental building blocks to support both the health of the mother and the fetus. However, careful evaluation of diet quality during pregnancy based on high quality dietary data is scarce in Canada. The associations between diet quality and perinatal and offspring outcomes have not been established. Thus, this thesis has the following objectives: 1) to assess overall diet quality during pregnancy using high-quality nutrition data collected in a large birth cohort in Canada, including validating the tool for assessment of diet quality in pregnancy; 2) to identify the social factors that are associated with overall diet quality during pregnancy in this Canadian sample; 3) to synthesize the evidence on the association between overall diet quality and adverse perinatal outcomes; 4) to assess the relationships between maternal nutrition during pregnancy and offspring neurodevelopment. This thesis integrates three research manuscripts published or submitted for publication in scientific peer-reviewed journals. The first manuscript describes the distribution of diet quality during pregnancy with the finding that the diet of women in Canada still is suboptimal, especially regarding whole grains and 'greens and beans', where the majority of the women did not meet recommendations. Inequalities in diet quality were observed: pregnant women who were less educated, younger, overweight or obese before pregnancy, or parous have lower diet quality. The second manuscript, a systematic review and meta-analysis of 33 cohort studies demonstrated that good diet quality during pregnancy was associated with lower risks of adverse maternal and neonatal outcomes including gestational diabetes, hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, preterm birth, small for gestational age and low birth weight. The third manuscript examined the associations between nutrition during pregnancy and indicators of offspring neurodevelopment. Statistically significant interactions between diet quality and multivitamin intake were found on the associations with cognitive and language development outcomes in the offspring at two years of age. The results indicated that adequate nutrition intake, through high quality diet or multivitamin use, is beneficial for children's neurodevelopment. This thesis helps fill gaps in knowledge in diet quality during pregnancy in Canada. The findings of this thesis are relevant to clinical and public health practice since diet quality can be used as a target for dietary interventions in pregnancy.

description: Aims. The aim of the study is to constrain the physics of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) by analysing the multi-wavelength afterglow data set of GRB 121024A that covers the full range from radio to X-rays. Methods. Using multi-epoch broad-band observations of the GRB 121024A afterglow, we measured the three characteristic break frequencies of the synchrotron spectrum. We used six epochs of combined XRT and GROND data to constrain the temporal slopes, the dust extinction, the X-ray absorption, and the spectral slope with high accuracy. Two more epochs of combined data from XRT, GROND, APEX, CARMA, and EVLA were used to set constraints on the break frequencies and therefore on the micro-physical and dynamical parameters. Results. The XRT and GROND light curves show a simultaneous and achromatic break at around 49 ks. As a result, the crossing of the synchrotron cooling break is no suitable explanation for the break in the light curve. The multi wavelength data allow us to test two plausible scenarios explaining the break: a jet break, and the end of energy injection. The jet-break scenario requires a hard electron spectrum, a very low cooling break frequency, and a non-spreading jet. The energy injection avoids these problems, but requires $ε_e > 1 (k = 2)$, spherical outflow, and $ε_B < 10^{-9}$. Conclusions. In light of the extreme microphysical parameters required by the energy-injection model, we favour a jet-break scenario where $ν_m < ν_{sa}$ to explain the observations. This scenario gives physically meaningful microphysical parameters, and it also naturally explains the reported detection of linear and circular polarisation.

description: Analytic expressions for the electromagnetic fields of an ultrashort, tightly focused, linearly polarized laser pulse in vacuum are derived from scalar and vector potentials, using a small parameter which assumes a small bandwidth of the laser pulse. The derived fields are compared with those of the Lax series expansion and the complex-source-point approaches and are shown to be well-behaved and accurate even in the subcycle pulse regime. We further demonstrate that terms stemming from the scalar potential and due to a fast varying pulse envelope are non-negligible and may significantly influence laser-matter interactions.
Learning, decision making and navigation in nocturnal bull ants

description: Insects possess small brains but exhibit sophisticated behaviour. Ants, in particular, are adept at navigating using cues in their environment, a task that requires complex cognitive processing. Environments, however, are often changing. In my thesis, I asked the question of how the ants learn and cope with the navigational challenges that arise when their environment changes. These studies provide greater insight into the reliance on different types of navigational cues and learning processes. To address this question, I focused on detour learning (Chapter-2), gap perception and learning (Chapter-3), coping with scene changes (Chapter-4) and the importance of different portions of views (Chapter-5) in the Australian nocturnal bull ant, Myrmecia midas, which forages on nearby eucalyptus trees and does not use pheromone trails. Through these studies I have demonstrated that ants do not alter their natural foraging path initially when it is disrupted by visual obstacles; however, their navigation was profoundly affected when they encountered any new olfactory or tactile cues. In both natural and experimental set-ups, alterations to the visual panorama significantly disrupted the ants’ ability to forage. Nevertheless, over a few trips, success at negotiating obstacles, finding a gap or coping with disrupted panoramas increased, visual scans were reduced, the paths became straighter, and individuals took less time to reach the goal. Overall, my findings suggest that these ants learn quickly to cope with navigational challenges and show flexibility in navigation. In addition, I used the natural habitat to test the learning and cognitive ability of ants instead of laboratory conditions, opening up new opportunities for future research in the cognitive ecology of learning. This small-brained insect makes a promising model for unravelling further mechanisms of cognition and perhaps aid in the design of robotic navigational systems.

description: In the data mining field many clustering methods have been proposed, yet standard versions do not take into account uncertain databases. This paper deals with a new approach to cluster uncertain data by using a hierarchical clustering defined within the belief function framework. The main objective of the belief hierarchical clustering is to allow an object to belong to one or several clusters. To each belonging, a degree of belief is associated, and clusters are combined based on the pignistic properties. Experiments with real uncertain data show that our proposed method can be considered as a propitious tool.

Temporal coherence of one-dimensional non-equilibrium quantum fluids

description: We theoretically investigate the time dependence of the first order coherence function for a one-dimensional driven dissipative non-equilibrium condensate. Simulations on the generalized Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GGPE) show that the characteristic time scale of exponential decay agrees with the linearized Bogoliubov theory in the regime of large interaction energy. For very weak interactions, the temporal correlation deviates from the linear theory, and instead respects the dynamic scaling of the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang universality class. This nonlinear dynamics is found to be quantitatively captured by a noisy Kuramoto-Sivashinsky equation for the phase dynamics.

The Strategic Logic of Arms Purchasing

Publisher: name: Purdue University Graduate School
Year: 2023
Subjects: Global and world history

description: International arms sales play an important role in the defense of states and as a result a sizeable literature has developed that deals with this topic. The importance of arms sales to states has carried over into political science as a result, where weapons play an important role in a variety of theories particularly those that fall into the various realist camps. Most of this literature focuses upon states that produce and sell arms with a significantly smaller literature dealing with states that purchase, rather than produce, them. This unfortunate gap in the literature prevents a complete understanding of international arms sales as the decision making process of arms purchasing states is currently almost completely discounted. This dissertation develops a theory of the strategic logic of arms purchasing. The theory laid out here suggests that states that must purchase arms weigh costs and benefits before selecting certain arms suppliers over others in the greater international arms market. This decision is largely based upon the perceived need for weapons based on the likelihood of conflict in the near future versus the dependence associated with purchasing the arms. The dependence associated with arms purchases can be reduced by purchasing arms from multiple arms producers at the cost of logistical efficiency. The theory laid out here is then tested via a pair of comparative historical case studies. These case studies analyze a state’s history in terms of geopolitical alignment with its major arms suppliers and its perceived probability of conflict. Predictions are made based on the theory and these predictions are then tested by developing networks, graphs, and charts based on the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute’s Arms Transfers Database and the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Arms Control, Verification and Compliance’s World Military Expenditures and Arms Transfers series of reports. The first comparative historical analysis covers Iran and Iraq during roughly the time period before and during the Iran-Iraq War while the second comparative case study analyzes Finland, Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic during the lead up and aftermath of the collapse of the Soviet Union. The theory performs well in predicting the actions of the states in the case studies suggesting that arms purchasing states balance need for weapons against the dependence associated with the arms purchases.

description: When independence is assumed, forecasts of mortality for subpopulations are almost always divergent in the long term. We propose a method for non-divergent or coherent forecasting of mortality rates for two or more subpopulations, based on functional principal components models of simple and interpretable functions of rates. The product-ratio functional forecasting method models and forecasts the geometric mean of subpopulation rates and the ratio of subpopulation rates to product rates. Coherence is imposed by constraining the forecast ratio function through stationary time series models. The method is applied to sex-specific data for Sweden and state-specific data for Australia. Based on out-of-sample forecasts, the coherent forecasts are at least as accurate in overall terms as comparable independent forecasts, and forecast accuracy is homogenised across subpopulations.

description: This paper investigates the time caseworkers spend supporting long-term foster care and adoption placements. Undertaken in Australia through collaboration between university and nongovernment agency researchers, the 'Cost of Support Study' tracked the hours that caseworkers spent supporting twenty-seven children and their carers over a nine month period. The placements were part of a 'Find-A-Family' program for 'hard to place children', many of whom had previously experienced multiple placement breakdowns. The program has a history of 78% stability on the first placement (over the young person's time in the program) and 93% by the second, with the type of support provided by this accredited agency's program detailed here. The weekly worker diaries reveal an average of 3 hours 32 minutes of worker time per week per placement; however wide variation is apparent in the time given to each placement, and depends on the characteristics of the child involved. Further, the resources required to support each placement are found by multiplying worker hours by the hourly cost per worker, using New South Wales government costings. The paper contributes to the important debate regarding the link between worker time and stability in care, by deepening our understanding of the costs involved in providing high quality support and supervision of casework.

standard deviations for error rate, duration median, and m1 median, by target
and timepoint, are provided in a table; analysis results are described, including ANOVA interactions, p values, and significant/not significant effects. Provided figure shows group data for spectral mean, by target and timepoint, for adults vs. TD6 vs. TD9, TD6 vs. SSD6, and TD9 vs. SSD9.
"The focus of this study was on fricative contrast and anticipatory CV coarticulation, as indexed by acoustic measures obtained from the first spectral moment (m1) at three points during the fricative (onset, midpoint, offset). Acoustic measures were based on tokens in which both fricative and vowel were perceptually accurate. Accuracy was judged from audio recordings by a native English listener and verified by the first author (a near-native speaker with 20+ years of phonetic training). Acoustic analyses were performed using Praat (Boersma & Weenink, 2008)."
