description: Autonomous vehicles (AVs) fuse data from multiple sensors and sensing modalities to impart a measure of robustness when operating in adverse conditions. Radars and cameras are popular choices for use in sensor fusion; although radar measurements are sparse in comparison to camera images, radar scans penetrate fog, rain, and snow. However, accurate sensor fusion depends upon knowledge of the spatial transform between the sensors and any temporal misalignment that exists in their measurement times. During the life cycle of an AV, these calibration parameters may change, so the ability to perform in-situ spatiotemporal calibration is essential to ensure reliable long-term operation. State-of-the-art 3D radar-camera spatiotemporal calibration algorithms require bespoke calibration targets that are not readily available in the field. In this paper, we describe an algorithm for targetless spatiotemporal calibration that does not require specialized infrastructure. Our approach leverages the ability of the radar unit to measure its own ego-velocity relative to a fixed, external reference frame. We analyze the identifiability of the spatiotemporal calibration problem and determine the motions necessary for calibration. Through a series of simulation studies, we characterize the sensitivity of our algorithm to measurement noise. Finally, we demonstrate accurate calibration for three real-world systems, including a handheld sensor rig and a vehicle-mounted sensor array. Our results show that we are able to match the performance of an existing, target-based method, while calibrating in arbitrary, infrastructure-free environments.

description: We prove that a bounded domain $Ω$ in $\R^n$ with smooth boundary has a periodic billiard trajectory with at most $n+1$ bounce times and of length less than $C_n r(Ω)$, where $C_n$ is a positive constant which depends only on $n$, and $r(Ω)$ is the supremum of radius of balls in $Ω$. This result improves the result by C.Viterbo, which asserts that $Ω$ has a periodic billiard trajectory of length less than $C'_n \vol(Ω)^{1/n}$. To prove this result, we study symplectic capacity of Liouville domains, which is defined via symplectic homology.

description: From the point of view of tunneling, the physical meaning of the Davies critical point of a second order phase transition in the black hole thermodynamics is clarified. At the critical point, the nonthermal contribution vanishes so that the black hole radiation is entirely thermal. It separates two phases: one with radiation enhanced by the nonthermal contribution, the other suppressed by the nonthermal contribution. We show this in both charged and rotating black holes. The phase transition is also analyzed in the cases in which emissions of charges and angular momenta are incorporated.

Discrimination in post-World War II naturalization policy : France and Switzerland
Creators: name: Desmarès, Camille
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: With the rise of anti-immigrant populist parties and anti-immigration mobilization across Western states, the topic of discrimination in liberal democracies’ membership regimes has received renewed interest. With a focus on two understudied policies that constitute the cornerstones of France’s and Switzerland’s contemporary nationality regimes (the French Nationality Code of 1945, which is still in force today, and the Law on the Acquisition and Loss of Swiss Nationality of 1952, which was repealed in 2018), my dissertation investigates patterns of discrimination in liberal democracies’ naturalization policies after World War II and policy makers’ motivations for naturalization policy change. Through a discourse analysis of hundreds of archival documents, my research reveals the central role of group-based exclusion in the postwar naturalization policies of France and Switzerland. Both policies maintained and introduced discriminatory naturalization requirements on the basis of ascriptive characteristics (gender in both countries, and country of origin and health status in France). The two pieces of legislation also provided for the granting of differential rights to citizens based on gender (in both countries) and one’s mode of nationality acquisition (in France). Furthermore, my analysis shows that policy makers’ support for principles usually associated with political liberalism (i.e., universalism, state neutrality, and equality before the law) only played a small role, if any, in the development and adoption of new naturalization policies after World War II. In France, the adoption of new naturalization provisions was driven by post-Vichy society’s pressing need to respond to the country’s demographic and economic challenges after the war, as well as by concerns about national identity. In Switzerland, the adoption of stricter naturalization requirements resulted from policy makers’ desire to strengthen national identity and from the associated instrumentalization of alarmist discourses about “foreign overpopulation.” My dissertation contributes to the literature on the persistence of group bias in rules of nationality acquisition by deepening our understanding of the role that discrimination has historically played in the development and consolidation of liberal citizenship. It also highlights the overarching importance of gender when it comes to the differential treatment of applicants to naturalization and citizens.

description: We report a comprehensive study of the complex AC conductance of amorphous superconducting InO$_x$ thin films. Using a novel broadband microwave `Corbino' spectrometer we measure the explicit frequency dependency of the complex conductance and the phase stiffness over a range from 0.21 GHz to 15 GHz at temperatures down to 350 mK. Dynamic AC measurements are sensitive to the temporal correlations of the superconducting order parameter in the fluctuation range above $T_c$. Among other aspects, we explicitly demonstrate the critical slowing down of the characteristic fluctuation rate on the approach to the superconducting state and show that its behavior is consistent with vortex-like phase fluctuations and a phase ordering scenario of the transition.

Exotic liquid crystalline phases in monolayers of vertically vibrated granular particles

Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)

description: Vibrated monolayers of granular particles confined into horizontal cavities form a variety of fluid patterns with orientational order that resemble equilibrium liquid-crystal phases. In some cases one can identify nematic and smectic patters that can be understood in terms of classical statistical mechanics of hard bodies. Low aspect ratio cylinders project as rectangles and form uniaxial, or 2-atic, and tetratic, or 4-atic, nematic phases. Other polygonal particles may exhibit different liquid-crystal phases, in general $p$-atic phases, of higher symmetries. We give a brief summary of theoretical work on rectangles and triangles, and provide some experimental results on vibrated monolayers. In the case of equilateral triangles, the theory predicts an exotic triatic phase, or 6-atic phase, with six-fold symmetry and three equivalent directors. Right-angled triangles exhibit a 4-atic phase with strong octatic (8-atic) correlations. Experiments on cylinders show 4-atic textures and, even more remarkable, geometric frustration caused by confinement excites topological defects, which seem to follow the same topological rules as standard liquid crystals. Some of our findings can be understood with the help of simulations of hard particles subject to thermal equilibrium, although standard Density-Functional Theories fail to account for the correct equilibrium phases in some cases.

description: We present Keck high-quality rest-frame ultraviolet (UV) through optical spectra of 21 Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) in the redshift range 0.11 < z < 0.37 and a mean redshift of 0.22 that were discovered during the Sloan Digital Sky Survey-II (SDSS-II) SN Survey. Using the broad-band photometry of the SDSS survey, we are able to reconstruct the SN host-galaxy spectral energy distributions (SEDs), allowing for a correction for the host-galaxy contamination in the SN Ia spectra. Comparison of composite spectra constructed from a subsample of 17 high-quality spectra to those created from a low-redshift sample with otherwise similar properties shows that the Keck/SDSS SNe Ia have, on average, extremely similar rest-frame optical spectra but show a UV flux excess. This observation is confirmed by comparing synthesized broad-band colors of the individual spectra, showing a difference in mean colors at the 2.4 - 4.4 sigma level for various UV colors. We further see a slight difference in the UV spectral shape between SNe with low-mass and high-mass host galaxies. Additionally, we detect a relationship between the flux ratio at 2770 and 2900 A and peak luminosity that differs from that observed at low redshift. We find that changing the UV SED of an SN Ia within the observed dispersion can change the inferred distance moduli by ~0.1 mag. This effect only occurs when the data probe the rest-frame UV. We suggest that this discrepancy could be due to differences in the host-galaxy population of the two SN samples or to small-sample statistics.

Subwavelength terahertz imaging via virtual superlensing in the radiating near field

description: Paradoxically, imaging with resolution much below the wavelength $λ$ - now common place in the visible spectrum - remains challenging at lower frequencies, where arguably it is needed most due to the large wavelengths used. Techniques to break the diffraction limit in microscopy have led to many breakthroughs across sciences, but remain largely confined to the optical spectrum, where near-field coupled fluorophores operate. At lower frequencies, exponentially decaying evanescent waves must be measured directly, requiring a tip or antenna to be brought into very close vicinity to the object. This is often difficult, and can be problematic as the probe can perturb the near-field distribution itself. Here we show the information encoded in evanescent waves can be probed further than previously thought possible, and a truthful image of the near-field reconstructed through selective amplification of evanescent waves - akin to a virtual superlens reversing the evanescent decay. We quantify the trade-off between noise and measurement distance, and experimentally demonstrate reconstruction of complex images with subwavelength features, down to a resolution of $λ/7$ and amplitude signal-to-noise ratios below 25dB between 0.18-1.5THz. Our procedure can be implemented with any near field probe far from the reactive near field region, greatly relaxes experimental requirements for subwavelength imaging in particular at sub-optical frequencies, and opens the door to non-perturbing near-field scanning.

description: An identifying code of a (di)graph $G$ is a dominating subset $C$ of the vertices of $G$ such that all distinct vertices of $G$ have distinct (in)neighbourhoods within $C$. In this paper, we classify all finite digraphs which only admit their whole vertex set in any identifying code. We also classify all such infinite oriented graphs. Furthermore, by relating this concept to a well known theorem of A. Bondy on set systems we classify the extremal cases for this theorem.

description: In this work we study diffeomorphism-invariant metric-affine theories of gravity from the point of view of self-interacting field theories on top of Minkowski spacetime (or other background). We revise how standard metric theories couple to their own energy-momentum tensor, and discuss the generalization of these ideas when torsion and nonmetricity are also present. We review the computation of the corresponding currents through the Hilbert and canonical (Noether) prescriptions, emphasizing the potential ambiguities arising from both. We also provide the extension of this consistent self-coupling procedure to the vielbein formalism, so that fermions can be included in the matter sector. In addition, we clarify some subtle issues regarding previous discussions on the self-coupling problem for metric theories, both General Relativity and its higher derivative generalizations. We also suggest a connection between Lovelock theorem and the ambiguities in the bootstrapping procedure arising from those in the definition of conserved currents.

description: Although developing countries are called to participate in CO2 emission reduction efforts to avoid dangerous climate change, the implications of proposed reduction schemes in human development standards of developing countries remain a matter of debate. We show the existence of a positive and time-dependent correlation between the Human Development Index (HDI) and per capita CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion. Employing this empirical relation, extrapolating the HDI, and using three population scenarios, the cumulative CO2 emissions necessary for developing countries to achieve particular HDI thresholds are assessed following a Development As Usual approach (DAU). If current demographic and development trends are maintained, we estimate that by 2050 around 85% of the world's population will live in countries with high HDI (above 0.8). In particular, 300Gt of cumulative CO2 emissions between 2000 and 2050 are estimated to be necessary for the development of 104 developing countries in the year 2000. This value represents between 20% to 30% of previously calculated CO2 budgets limiting global warming to 2°C. These constraints and results are incorporated into a CO2 reduction framework involving four domains of climate action for individual countries. The framework reserves a fair emission path for developing countries to proceed with their development by indexing country-dependent reduction rates proportional to the HDI in order to preserve the 2°C target after a particular development threshold is reached. Under this approach, global cumulative emissions by 2050 are estimated to range from 850 up to 1100Gt of CO2. These values are within the uncertainty range of emissions to limit global temperatures to 2°C.

description: Sintered samples of Cr3Te4 and Cr2Te3 are found to show large strains accompanied by large volume changes under a magnetic field. In Cr3Te4, volume increases of deltaV/V = 500-1170 ppm by applying a magnetic field of 9 T are observed over the entire temperature range below 350 K. At room temperature, the deltaV/V value exceeds 1000 ppm, which is considerably larger than the maximum values reported for Cr-based magnets thus far and is comparable to the room-temperature value of forced-volume magnetostriction in invar alloys. Cr2Te3 show a large deltaV/V of 680 ppm when applying a magnetic field of 9 T at 200 K. Both samples display particularly large volume increases around the Curie temperature, where they also show negative thermal expansion due to microstructural effects, suggesting that the cooperation between anisotropic lattice deformation associated with the magnetic ordering and microstructural effects is essential for the manifestation of the large magnetic-field-induced volume changes.

description: We develop a Bayesian semi-parametric model for the estimating the impact of dynamic treatment rules on survival among patients diagnosed with pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML). The data consist of a subset of patients enrolled in the phase III AAML1031 clinical trial in which patients move through a sequence of four treatment courses. At each course, they undergo treatment that may or may not include anthracyclines (ACT). While ACT is known to be effective at treating AML, it is also cardiotoxic and can lead to early death for some patients. Our task is to estimate the potential survival probability under hypothetical dynamic ACT treatment strategies, but there are several impediments. First, since ACT was not randomized in the trial, its effect on survival is confounded over time. Second, subjects initiate the next course depending on when they recover from the previous course, making timing potentially informative of subsequent treatment and survival. Third, patients may die or drop out before ever completing the full treatment sequence. We develop a generative Bayesian semi-parametric model based on Gamma Process priors to address these complexities. At each treatment course, the model captures subjects' transition to subsequent treatment or death in continuous time under a given rule. A g-computation procedure is used to compute a posterior over potential survival probability that is adjusted for time-varying confounding. Using this approach, we conduct posterior inference for the efficacy of hypothetical treatment rules that dynamically modify ACT based on evolving cardiac function.
Relationship Between Cognitive Impairment and Self-Management of Older Adults with Type 2 Diabetes
Creators: name: Kim, Min Jung
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2021

description: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships between cognitive function and self-management behaviors of older adults with type 2 diabetes.
This dissertation document consists of two manuscripts. The first manuscript includes findings regarding the relationships between cognitive function and self-management behaviors in older adults with type 2 diabetes. The first set of specific aims were to (a) examine the relationships between executive function and diabetes self-management behaviors (DSMB) and (b) explore the effects of potential moderators (body mass index, depressive symptoms, and/or diabetes severity) on these relationships in older adults with type 2 diabetes. The second set of specific aims were to (a) explore the potential relationships between subjective cognitive function and DSMB and (b) explore potential moderating effects of the factors listed above on the relationships in this population. Bivariate correlation and multivariate linear regression analyses were used. The study results indicated that executive function was associated with DSMB, especially physician contact behaviors, whereas subjective cognitive function was not associated with any DSMB in the study sample. No moderating effects of the potential factors were identified on the relationships.
Because the study was conducted amid the Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in 2020, the unique circumstances allowed additional investigation of psychological distress among older adults with type 2 diabetes. This investigation is documented in the second manuscript. The specific aim of this investigation was to examine the impact of COVID-19 worries on psychological distress among U.S. older adults with type 2 diabetes. The psychological distress addressed included diabetes distress and depression. Bivariate correlation and tobit regression analyses were used. The study results indicated that increased COVID-19 worries were associated with increased diabetes distress and depression in older adults with type 2 diabetes. Among the 4 diabetes distress subscales, emotional distress and regimen-related distress were significantly associated with COVID-19 worries after controlling for demographic and diabetes-related clinical factors.

description: Let $Q=(q_n)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ be a sequence of integers greater than or equal to 2. We say that a real number $x$ in $[0,1)$ is {\it $Q$-distribution normal} if the sequence $(q_1q_2... q_n x)_{n=1}^{\infty}$ is uniformly distributed mod 1. In \cite{Lafer}, P. Lafer asked for a construction of a $Q$-distribution normal number for an arbitrary $Q$. Under a mild condition on $Q$, we construct a set $Θ_Q$ of $Q$-distribution normal numbers. This set is perfect and nowhere dense. Additionally, given any $α$ in $[0,1]$, we provide an explicit example of a sequence $Q$ such that the Hausdorff dimension of $Θ_Q$ is equal to $α$. Under a certain growth condition on $q_n$, we provide a discrepancy estimate that holds for every $x$ in $Θ_Q$.

description: The pulse intensity from X-ray free-electron lasers (FELs) can create extreme excitation densities in solids, entering the regime of non-linear X-ray-matter interactions. We show L3-edge absorption spectra of metallic nickel thin films with fluences entering a regime where several X-ray photons are incident per absorption cross-section. Main features of the observed non-linear spectral changes are described with a predictive rate model for electron population dynamics during the pulse, utilizing a fixed density of states and tabulated ground-state properties.

description: We consider the problem of robustly predicting as well as the best linear combination of $d$ given functions in least squares regression, and variants of this problem including constraints on the parameters of the linear combination. For the ridge estimator and the ordinary least squares estimator, and their variants, we provide new risk bounds of order $d/n$ without logarithmic factor unlike some standard results, where $n$ is the size of the training data. We also provide a new estimator with better deviations in the presence of heavy-tailed noise. It is based on truncating differences of losses in a min--max framework and satisfies a $d/n$ risk bound both in expectation and in deviations. The key common surprising factor of these results is the absence of exponential moment condition on the output distribution while achieving exponential deviations. All risk bounds are obtained through a PAC-Bayesian analysis on truncated differences of losses. Experimental results strongly back up our truncated min--max estimator.

description: Die Entwicklungen im Rahmen der Energiewende führen zu einer Transformation des elektrischen Energiesystems. Dabei ergeben sich neue Herausforderungen und Fragestellungen, die in Forschungsaktivitäten untersucht werden. Diese Untersuchungen erfordern häufig Analysen in Stromnetzen, wofür wiederum Netzmodelle benötigt werden. Eine gute wissenschaftliche Praxis erfordert dabei Transparenz und Vergleichbarkeit, welche mithilfe von Benchmark-Netzmodellen unterstützt werden kann. Diese Arbeit widmet sich dem Prozess der Modellierung solcher Benchmark-Netzmodelle. Dabei wird zunächst der Begriff Benchmarking im Kontext von Netzanalysen in elektrischen Energiesystemen geschärft, da keine festgelegte Definition vorhanden ist. Zudem werden Kenngrößen zur Charakterisierung von elektrischen Netzen analysiert, gruppiert und priorisiert. In Anlehnung an reale Netzplanungsprozesse wird beschrieben, wie Benchmark-Netzmodelle synthetisch und basierend auf öffentlich zugänglichen Daten generiert werden können. Abschließend wird anhand der Erkenntnisse dargelegt, wie die Modellierung der Niederspannungsnetzmodelle im sogenannten SimBench-Datensatz erfolgt ist. Hierzu wird der Datensatz analysiert und bewertet sowie Potenziale und Grenzen der Daten diskutiert.
description: The developments in the context of the energy transition are leading to a transformation of the electrical energy system. In the process, new challenges and questions arise that are being investigated in research activities. These investigations often require analyses in electricity grids, which in turn require grid models. Good scientific practice requires transparency and comparability, which can be supported by benchmark grid models. This thesis is dedicated to the process of modeling such benchmark grid models. First, the term benchmarking is sharpened in the context of grid analyses in electric power systems, as no fixed definition is available. In addition, parameters for the characterisation of electrical grids are analysed, grouped and prioritised. Based on real grid planning processes, it is described how benchmark grid models can be generated synthetically and based on publicly available data. Finally, based on these findings, it is explained how the modelling of the low-voltage network models in the publicly so-called SimBench dataset was carried out. For this purpose, the data set is analysed and evaluated, and the potential and limitations of the data are discussed.

A Rate Model of Electron Populations for Non-linear High-Fluence X-ray Absorption Near-Edge Spectra

description: Absorbing a focused, femtosecond X-ray pulse from a Free-Electron Laser (FEL) can lead to extreme electronic excitations in solids. This excitation drives changes of the electronic system over the course of the pulse duration and the overall absorption of the pulse becomes fluence-dependent. Thus, fluence-dependent non-linear X-ray Absorption Near Edge Spectroscopy (XANES) is sensitive to the valence excitation dynamics around the Fermi level on the few-femtosecond timescale. Here we present a simplified rate model based on well-established physical mechanisms to describe the evolution of the electronic system. We construct temporal and spatial differentials for the processes of resonant absorption, stimulated emission, non-resonant absorption, Auger decay, valence band thermalization and scattering cascades of free electrons. The phenomenological rate model approach provides a direct understanding how each physical process contributes to the fluence-dependent changes observed in XANES measurements. Without accounting for fluence-dependent changes to the density of states, the model shows good agreement with experimental results on metallic nickel over more than three orders of magnitude in fluence, establishing electron redistribution as the main driver of non-linear absorption changes at high fluences. Although in the closest vicinity of the resonance, more complex approaches are necessary to describe remaining discrepancies of the fluence-dependence changes, the demonstrated capability to describe spectral changes up to extreme fluences yields fundamental insights into the complex dynamics after intense core excitation and provides an important tool for the design and evaluation of future FEL experiments, in particular for the development of non-linear X-ray spectroscopy.
