description: We used a continuously rotating torsion balance instrument to measure the acceleration difference of beryllium and titanium test bodies towards sources at a variety of distances. Our result Delta a=(0.6+/-3.1)x10^-15 m/s^2 improves limits on equivalence-principle violations with ranges from 1 m to infinity by an order of magnitude. The Eoetvoes parameter is eta=(0.3+/-1.8)x10^-13. By analyzing our data for accelerations towards the center of the Milky Way we find equal attractions of Be and Ti towards galactic dark matter, yielding eta=(-4 +/- 7)x10^-5. Space-fixed differential accelerations in any direction are limited to less than 8.8x10^-15 m/s^2 with 95% confidence.

Population, Poverty and Environmental Degradation in Nagaland
Creators: name: Jamir, Chubakumzuk
Publisher: name: European Journal of Social Impact and Circular Economy
Year: 2021

description: Nagaland which constitutes the northern part of Indo-Myanmar ranges is well-known among conservationists and environmentalist for both its unique forest ecosystems and its alarmingly high rates of deforestation through various forms of economic activities. The environment is an essential source of livelihood on which the continued existence for poor people depends. However, denial of primary requirements results to poverty. The evaluation suggests that higher population and fertility rates were associated with higher deforestation in the tropical evergreen forest. Poverty reduction and environmental protection are two international obligations for sustainable development. The standpoint of the study has changed over time, from narrowly focusing on poverty reduction to comprehensively strengthening human-welfare. The relationship between population, poverty and environmental degradation is regionally unique or has regional uniqueness. This paper analyses the poverty level in Nagaland using below poverty line card holder, Head Count Ratio and Multidimensional Poverty Index. The finding shows that during 1987-88 the poverty rate was 34.43 per cent and the forest loss was found to be -192 sq. km which further increases to 33.83 per cent (poverty rate) and forest loss to -450 sq. km during 2016-17. The result highlights high level of poverty thereby, affecting the environment resources. The paper suggests suitable measures which can ameliorate the poverty and environmental degradation.

Finite Size Scaling for the O(N) universality class from Renormalization Group Methods

description: The QCD phase diagram at finite temperature and density is a topic of considerable interest. Although much progress has been made in recent years, some open questions remain. Even at zero density, the order of the transition for two light flavors of fermions has not yet been conclusively established. While considerable evidence exists in favor of a second-order transition for massless quarks and a crossover for massive quarks, some recent results with two flavors of staggered fermions suggest a transition of first order. Since lattice simulations are performed in finite simulation volumes, actual phase transitions cannot be observed directly. Thus, finite-size scaling is a very useful tool in the analysis of lattice data. By comparing the scaling behavior of observables to the expected scaling properties, values of critical exponents can be confirmed and the order as well as the universality class of a transition can be established. In the comparison to lattice QCD results, the critical exponents and the universal scaling functions have been obtained mainly by means of lattice simulations of O(N) spin models, and results are usually restricted to the critical temperature or the point at which the susceptibilities peak. We propose to use a non-perturbative Renormalization Group method for this purpose. We have calculated the critical finite-size scaling behavior and the universal scaling functions for the three-dimensional O(4)-model for a wide range of temperatures and values of the symmetry breaking parameter. Our results are suitable for a comparison to lattice QCD results for the chiral susceptibility and the order parameter and can be used to check the consistency of the finite-size scaling behavior with that of the O(N) universality class.

Effect of polymers on lubricant rheology in an elastohydrodynamic contact
Creators: name: Gendreau, Eliane
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Understanding the behaviour of fluids in a tribological contact is crucial to design better lubricants and enhance energy efficiency through friction reduction. Obtaining local and in situ insights into tribological contacts is a significant challenge. All the more for complex fluids such as polymer solutions, which are likely to exhibit non-Newtonian and unpredictable behaviours in a tribological contact in the elastohydrodynamic lubrication regime. In order to gain greater knowledge on the link between the molecular properties of polymers, their mechanisms at the microscale and the rheology of polymer-containing lubricants, new in situ techniques were developed. Using phosphorescence imaging velocimetry, Raman spectroscopy, fluorescence anisotropy, and fluorescence lifetime, the behaviour of polymer solutions was investigated in a ball-on-disc contact in the elastohydrodynamic regime, under high-pressure and high-shear. The flow behaviour of polymer and copolymer solutions deviates from a Couette flow, their velocity profiles exhibit slip and plugs. Quantification of the adsorption supports the hypothesis that the adsorption of polymer molecules on the contact surfaces promotes deviations from a Couette flow. Raman spectroscopy was designed for the first time in situ in an elastohydrodynamic contact to evaluate the presence of polymer molecules in the contact. No change in polymer concentration was observed at the inlet, in the contact, and at the outlet. These results indicate that, for the polymer solutions investigated, an unexpected film thickness is not caused by aggregation or depletion of polymer molecules at the inlet. Preliminary work using fluorescence anisotropy to generate viscosity maps of a tribological contact was carried out. Investigation up to a viscosity of 5 Pa·s found a very promising performance of the molecular rotor Bodipy, as a viscosity sensor. Analytical models, based on Barus- and Eyring-like forms of the viscosity, were developed to estimate the viscosity-pressure relationship of fluids, from friction measurements. Compared to high-pressure viscometry data, a good agreement was found up to 1 GPa. This powerful method is of special interest when no viscometer is available.

description: What defines an organization's social impact is its purpose, social and profit. The current business landscape in the entrepreneurial ecosystem in accordance with the literature defines a certain category of companies that can be the main players in the impact economy are hybrid organizations. There are several studies and research on the role of HRM and incentive systems for companies in general, but not for hybrid organizations that seek to create high intentional, measurable and additive social impact. In this paper, through the method of the case study, the researcher explores the hybrid organization Abel Nutraceuticals S.r.l, part of nonprofit group Arcobaleno Cooperativa Sociale and define the key factors that hybrid mission-oriented for-profit organizations with the propensity for social impact should have an incentive tool to value workers and determine what factors internal stakeholders would like to know to be heard understood. The research confirms that a good tool that is inclusive and above all listens to the well-being of workers only works if it manages to put the worker first, having an auditor who verifies that the social inclusion it is implementing is done in the right way.

description: Fedora Digital Repository has a strong history of documentation for system administrators hosting and managing Fedora as software and developers using the repository as a backend for collection access and management. [1] However, the same level of documentation has not been as readily available for users who manage collections and perform metadata work in Fedora. Andrew Woods from Duraspace approached a group of metadata librarians at institutions using Fedora to start a new section of documentation called the Fedora User Guide. The new User Guide currently contains information about metadata recommendations and best practices within Fedora from different user communities. It also provides various examples of content modeling to show how different ways of organizing content are implemented in Fedora using the current capabilities of the digital repository software.
Essays on Specification and Estimation of Models of Markets For Heterogeneous Housing
Creators: name: Quintero, Luis Eduardo
Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University
Year: 2014
Subjects: Economics

description: My dissertation proposes new ways to study decisions in the housing market with structural models that deliver a consistent connection between house values and rents, incorporating investment and consumption motives for housing consumption, and allowing for preference heterogeneity. The models also take into account the difficulty of measuring complete housing quality in estimation by treating it as latent. The dissertation includes applications where I analyze issues like the size of agglomeration benefits of larger cities (New York City vs Chicago), and the dynamics of rent and prices as a reaction to household financial and demographic conditions during the recent housing crisis (in Miami). I find that New York has relatively lower qualities of housing and higher prices than Chicago, which implies positive compensating variations required by households moving from the latter to the former; and that there was a disconnect between the rent and ownership markets that suggest that the crisis mainly affected the asset and not the real market, respectively. Also, I find the heterogeneity in tastes plays an important role in the behavior of households in the housing market. I also present models that introduce heterogeneity in tastes to analyze the interaction between households with different demographics. Going beyond a single type of household presents additional challenges for estimation and identification that are addressed. I define types as households with and without children, and asses the effect of the presence of children on how sensitive households are to changes in the market. I obtain the robust result that the presence of children reduces the sensitivity of demand for housing quality to changes in the market. Additionally, I also use machine learning clustering methods to categorize households into different demographics types based on age, number of children and expenditure in the housing market. With these types, I perform analyses that contrast the implied demands for housing quality in the different obtained clusters. The methods developed in the different chapters are of interest to policy makers and agents who want to follow the evolution of rental rates and prices at different levels of the quality distribution, as well as for those interested in making welfare evaluations of polices that affect local housing markets differently for households with different demographics. Also, they give insight on agglomeration benefits of larger cities and compensations required when moving a household from one area to another.
Steps from Zero Carbon Supply Chains and Demand of Circular Economy to Circular Business Cases

description: The European Green Deal requires a zero-carbon Europe until 2050. Consequently, all processes conducted, and actions taken need to ensure zero carbon emissions. Beside the areas of energy systems, logistics and living, it certainly also includes industry sectors, industrial processes and their entire supply chains. Zero carbon supply chains mean net zero carbon emission from scope 1, 2 and 3. The key question for future business is therefore how to reduce the carbon emissions of all procured components down to zero, beside all procured and consumed energies (scope 1 and 2). A promising approach is a circular economy, if primary produced materials will not be provided carbon neutral or will increase in price. However, today the development of circular business models often is a chicken and egg problem. It needs a clear business case to invest into changes, adaptions, substitutions or life cycle system adjustments of linear products (take, make, dispose) to turn them into circular products or product systems (avoid, re-use, recycle, recover). The paper presents approaches to support companies seeking carbon neutral products in a carbon neutral Europe via identifying business cases for circular products. An evaluation matrix is presented allowing the identification of circularity status depending on the selected products or sector perspective. The matrix contains evaluation criteria based on the circularity building blocks by the Ellen MacArthur Foundation. Based on the results, hot spots and weak points are identified and allow entering a six-step-approach for business-case identification. The steps refer to life cycle thinking, quantitative environmental assessment, simulation, creativity methods and end up identifying profitable business cases for circularity. The presented approach combines life cycle assessment, circular economy and the development of business models and is partly developed and applied during the European H2020 project AVANGARD.

Search for high-mass resonances in dilepton final states in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}=$ 13 TeV

description: A search is presented for new high-mass resonances decaying into electron or muon pairs. The search uses proton-proton collision data at a centre-of-mass energy of 13 TeV collected by the CMS experiment at the LHC in 2016, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36 fb$^{-1}$. Observations are in agreement with standard model expectations. Upper limits on the product of a new resonance production cross section and branching fraction to dileptons are calculated in a model-independent manner. This permits the interpretation of the limits in models predicting a narrow dielectron or dimuon resonance. A scan of different intrinsic width hypotheses is performed. Limits are set on the masses of various hypothetical particles. For the Z$'_\mathrm{SSM}$ (Z$'_ψ$) particle, which arises in the sequential standard model (superstring-inspired model), a lower mass limit of 4.50 (3.90) TeV is set at 95% confidence level. The lightest Kaluza-Klein graviton arising in the Randall-Sundrum model of extra dimensions, with coupling parameters $k/\overline{M}_\mathrm{Pl}$ of 0.01, 0.05, and 0.10, is excluded at 95% confidence level below 2.10, 3.65, and 4.25 TeV, respectively. In a simplified model of dark matter production via a vector or axial vector mediator, limits at 95% confidence level are obtained on the masses of the dark matter particle and its mediator.

description: If the electroweak symmetry-breaking sector becomes strongly interacting at high energies, it can be probed through longitudinal $W$ scattering. We present a model with many inelastic channels in the $W_L W_L$ scattering process, corresponding to the production of heavy fermion pairs. These heavy fermions affect the elastic scattering of $W_L$'s by propagating in loops, greatly reducing the amplitudes in some charge channels. We conclude that the symmetry-breaking sector cannot be fully explored by using, for example, the $W_L^\pm W_L^\pm$ mode alone, even when no resonance is present; all $W_L W_L \to W_L W_L$ scattering modes must be measured.

description: Stem cells are capable of sensing and processing environmental inputs, converting this information to output a specific cell lineage through signaling cascades. Despite the combinatorial nature of mechanical, thermal, and biochemical signals, these stimuli have typically been decoupled and applied independently, requiring continuous regulation by controlling units. We employ a programmable polymer actuator sheet to autonomously synchronize thermal and mechanical signals applied to mesenchymal stem cells (MSC5). Using a grid on its underside, the shape change of polymer sheet, as well as cell morphology, calcium (Ca2+) influx, and focal adhesion assembly, could be visualized and quantified. This paper gives compelling evidence that the temperature sensing and mechanosensing of MSC5 are interconnected via intracellular Ca2+. Up-regulated Ca2+ levels lead to a remarkable alteration of histone H3K9 acetylation and activation of osteogenic related genes. The interplay of physical, thermal, and biochemical signaling was utilized to accelerate the cell differentiation toward osteogenic lineage. The approach of programmable bioinstructivity provides a fundamental principle for functional biomaterials exhibiting multifaceted stimuli on differentiation programs. Technological impact is expected in the tissue engineering of periosteum for treating bone defects.

description: This dissertation contains three chapters and focuses on the optimal design of fiscal policy and multi-item auction mechanisms where there is an informational friction in the economy. In the first chapter, I examine the optimal taxation of families in an environment in which (i) the earning abilities and child tastes of parents are private information, and (ii) child-rearing requires both parental time and goods. The optimal tax system combines an income tax schedule for childless families with tax credits for families with children. These components insure parents against low income and high taste for children draws respectively. The parental time and cost of goods involved in child-rearing have distinct impacts on the shape of optimal child tax credits. In the quantitative part, I estimate these costs and show that they translate into a pattern of optimal credits that is U-shaped in income. As a result, the credit to one (two) child families is decreasing over the first 40% (50%) of the income distribution. In addition, the credit for the second child is not equal to the credit for the first, owing to economies of scale in child-rearing. For medianincome families, the credit for the second child equals 44% of the credit for the first child. Finally, I offer a simple linear-income dependent credit policy that achieves most of the welfare gain from the optimum. In the second chapter (joint with Laurence Ales and Christopher Sleet), we considers the normative implications of technical change for tax policy design. A task-to-talent assignment model of the labor market is embedded into an optimal tax problem. Technical change modifies equilibrium wage growth across talents and the substitutability of talents across tasks. The overall optimal policy response is to reduce marginal income taxes on low to middle incomes, while raising those on middle to high incomes. The reform favors those in the middle of the income distribution, reducing their average taxes while lowering transfers to those at the bottom. In the third chapter (joint with Isa Hafalır), we consider multi-unit discriminatory auctions where ex-ante symmetric bidders have single unit demands and resale is allowed after the bidding stage. When bidders use the optimal auction to sell the items in the resale stage, the equilibrium without resale is not equilibrium. We find a symmetric and monotone equilibrium when there are two units for sale, and, interestingly, show that there may not be a symmetric and monotone equilibrium if there are more than two units.

We consider all the dimension-six SM-EFT operators that contribute to these processes at leading order, include next-to-leading order QCD corrections, and interface them with parton showering and hadronization in Pythia8 according to the POWHEG method. We discuss existing constraints on the coefficients of dimension-six operators and identify differential and angular distributions that can differentiate between different effective operators, pointing to specific features of Beyond-the-Standard-Model physics.

description: The recently released report Practices and Patterns in Research Information Management: Findings from a Global Survey, jointly produced by OCLC Research and euroCRIS, shines a light onto a relevant area of repository evolution, namely the ever increasing coupling of its workflows to those traditionally associated with Research Information Management (RIM, or CRIS) systems. Previous landscape analysis had already identified this trend a few years ago, and this comprehensive OCLC/euroCRIS exercise provides new evidence on repositories and RIM systems acting like a single integrated, interoperable system for the purpose of collecting and exposing the institutional research output. The proposed presentation examines this trend based on nearly 400 survey responses from 40 nations, and provides insights into the increasing overlap of practice, functionality, and workflows, such as the extent to which RIM systems may be playing the role of institutional (literature) repositories, data repositories, and repositories for electronic theses and dissertations (ETDs). The global responses will be analysed together with their regional breakdown. Also relevant is the fact that the most popular protocol identified in the survey is OAI-PMH. Further iterations planned for this survey should help capturing the trends of the landscape evolution in this and other areas.

description: While all bipartite pure entangled states are known to generate correlations violating a Bell inequality, and are therefore nonlocal, the quantitative relation between pure-state entanglement and nonlocality is poorly understood. In fact, some Bell inequalities are maximally violated by non-maximally entangled states and this phenomenon is also observed for other operational measures of nonlocality. In this work, we study a recently proposed measure of nonlocality defined as the probability that a pure state displays nonlocal correlations when subjected to random measurements. We first prove that this measure satisfies some natural properties for an operational measure of nonlocality. Then, we show that for pure states of two qubits the measure is monotonic with entanglement for all correlation two-outcome Bell inequalities: for all these inequalities, the more the state is entangled, the larger the probability to violate them when random measurements are performed. Finally, we extend our results to the multipartite setting.

Essays on Postoptimality, Lift-and-Project, and Scheduling

description: This thesis offers methodological and computational contributions to integer and mixed-integer linear programming. The first area is postoptimality, in which we explore how decision diagrams can be used to compactly store and query near-optimal solutions. Our contribution is on characterizing a particular form of decision diagram relaxation, the sound decision diagram, where solutions worse than a given threshold are tolerated in order to obtain smaller decision diagrams. We introduce an operation that we denote as \sound reduction" that, if applied a sufficient number of times, leads to one among the sound decision diagrams of minimum size. The second area is lift-and-project, in which we explore alternative formulations of the cut generating linear program (CGLP) as well as the equivalence between lift-and-project cuts and intersection cuts. Our first contribution is the introduction of a new formulation, the reverse polar CGLP, where the conventional roles of the objective function and of the normalization constraint are switched. We show that cuts from CGLP optima always define supporting hyperplanes of the disjunctive hull and that, if the objective function minimizes the slack of the cut for a point in the interior of the disjunctive hull, then the resulting cut is a combination of facet-defining cuts separating a given fractional solution. Our second contribution in this area is a method to identify irregular lift-and-project cuts, which are cuts from non-split disjunctions that are not equivalent to intersection cuts from any basis of the linear relaxation. Based on the CGLP formulation, we present a mixed-integer formulation that determines if such an equivalence exists and we report computational results on several instances where many cuts from elementary t-branch disjunctions are not equivalent to cuts from t rows of the simplex tableau. The last area is an emergent scheduling application, in which we study a last-mile passenger transportation service using autonomous vehicles. Our contribution consists of an approach to solve this optimization problem within the required time frame. We show that a convenient restriction of this problem has optimal solutions with a certain structure, propose heuristics that preserve such structure for warm-starting a mixed-integer formulation, and report a significant improvement as a result.

description: The incidence of noncontact anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) knee injuries has been studied extensively and has been reported as one of the highest injuries amongst high school and collegiate athletes. Little research has been focused on maturational changes in relation to the risk factors of such an injury. The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a difference between pre-pubescent (PRE), pubescent (MID) and postpubescent (POST) male lacrosse athletes indicated by knee and hip kinetics and kinematics during an unanticipated sidestep cutting task (SS). Thirty-one male participants between the ages of nine and fourteen were recruited and categorized into three groups; PRE (n=8, 9.9±1.1years, 137.3±8.8cm, 32.7±7.1kg), MID (n=12, 11.4±0.9years, 153.6±10.7cm,44.5±10.9kg) and POST (n=11, 12.9±0.7years, 165.6±5.9cm, 53.4±8.7kg) and were free of lower extremity injury. The Pubertal Maturation Observation Scale (PMOS) was used to allot the subjects into their corresponding maturation levels. Three-dimensional motion analysis, coupled with two force plates, was used to capture five successful SS trials: There was a significant difference found in the hip extension moment between maturation groups. Specifically, MID (-2.28±0.39Nm/kgm) subjects displayed a greater moment than both PRE (1.85±0.28Nm/kgm) and POST (-1.84±0.34Nm/kgm) subjects (p=0.009). There were no other statistically significant differences between maturation levels at any time instance. With this small difference between maturation levels, there is not evidence of a change in the biomechanics of the lower extremity during the maturation process of youth male lacrosse athletes.

They act on the Fock spaces of arbitrary mixture of particles and holes in general. Our method is based on new reductions of the tetrahedron equation and an embedding of the quantum affine algebras into $n$ copies of the $q$-oscillator algebra which admits an automorphism interchanging particles and holes.

description: We propose a simple mechanism for solving the $μ$ problem in the context of minimal low--energy supergravity models. This is based on the appearance of non--renormalizable couplings in the superpotential. In particular, if $H_1H_2$ is an allowed operator by all the symmetries of the theory, it is natural to promote the usual renormalizable superpotential $W_o$ to $W_o+λW_o H_1H_2$, yielding an effective $μ$ parameter whose size is directly related to the gravitino mass once supersymmetry is broken (this result is maintained if $H_1H_2$ couples with different strengths to the various terms present in $W_o$). On the other hand, the $μ$ term must be absent from $W_o$, otherwise the natural scale for $μ$ would be $M_P$. Remarkably enough, this is entirely justified in the supergravity theories coming from superstrings, where mass terms for light fields are forbidden in the superpotential. We also analyse the $SU(2)\times U(1)$ breaking, finding that it takes place satisfactorily. Finally, we give a realistic example in which supersymmetry is broken by gaugino condensation, where the mechanism proposed for solving the $μ$ problem can be gracefully implemented.

description: Conical intersections (CIs) have been widely studied using spectroscopic techniques. However, CIs have mainly been identified by rapid internal conversion transitions that take place after the photoexcitation. Such identifications cannot distinguish various types of intersections as well as to separate the actual intersection from an avoided crossing. In this paper, we investigate how ultrafast IR laser pulses can be utilized to stimulate nuclear dynamics revealing geometric phase features associated with CIs. We consider two low-dimensional nonadiabatic models to obtain optimal two- and three-pulse laser sequences for stimulating nuclear dynamics necessary for the CI identification. Our results provide insights on designing non-linear spectroscopic schemes for subsequent probes of the nuclear wavepackets by ultrafast electron diffraction techniques to unambiguously detect CIs in molecules.
Leveraging a University Institutional Repository to Host a New Open Access, Peer-Reviewed Student Biomedical Science Journal at the Cooper Medical School of Rowan University

Subjects: Open Access Publishing
Student-authored works
Institutional Repositories as Publishing Platforms
Libraries as Publishers

description: Background: In the Spring of 2018 the library of the Cooper Medical School of Rowan University (CMSRU) was approached by a clinical faculty member and two medical students who expressed interest creating a legitimate, peer-reviewed journal that could publish student research from around the world. Problem: The CMSRU library took on the challenge of facilitating this project. Their advice ensured the journal would be Open Access (OA), publish with a CC-BY license, have an ISSN, issue DOIs, and follow ethical publishing guidelines to ensure the journal could eventually be included in indices. Approach: The CMSRU library already had an existing Digital Commons institutional repository (IR) which could be utilized as a hosting platform, facilitate peer review, and index articles in Google Scholar for discoverability. The journal officially launched in the Fall of 2018 and is actively peer-reviewing submissions. Conclusions: This poster will highlight the unique challenges of hosting OA journals on IRs. The poster will also provide best practices on starting peer-reviewed journals that are partially student operated. It also will include information on how this project can fill the niche of providing early-career scholars a home to highlight their scholarship while learning the best practices of scholarly OA publishing.
Gauge Invariant Matrix Model for the Â-D-Ê Closed Strings

description: The models of triangulated random surfaces embedded in (extended) Dynkin diagrams are formulated as a gauge-invariant matrix model of Weingarten type. The double scaling limit of this model is described by a collective field theory with nonpolynomial interaction. The propagator in this field theory is essentially two-loop correlator in the corresponding string theory.

description: The Repository Rodeo returns for another round of questions and answers! This popular panel, featured since Open Repositories 2016 in Dublin, offers a broad overview of the main repository platforms at Open Repositories and provides an opportunity for spirited discussion amongst panelists and attendees. Join representatives from the DSpace, Eprints, Fedora, Islandora, Invenio, and Samvera communities as we (briefly) explain what each of our repositories actually does. We'll also talk about the directions of our respective technical and community developments, and related to the conference theme of All the Users Needs, discuss how our various systems can support the needs of users in our communities. This panel will be a great opportunity for newcomers to Open Repositories to get a crash course on the major repository options and meet representatives from each of their communities. After a brief presentation from each representative, we'll open the session up for questions from the audience.
Lattice Study of the Conformal Window in QCD-like Theories

description: Using lattice simulations, we study the extent of the conformal window for an $\text{SU}(3)$ gauge theory with $N_f$ Dirac fermions in the fundamental representation. We present evidence that the infrared behavior is conformal for $12 \leq N_f \leq 16$, governed by an infrared fixed point, while confinement and chiral symmetry breaking are present for $N_f \leq 8$.

Prioritized Sweeping Neural DynaQ with Multiple Predecessors, and Hippocampal Replays

description: During sleep and awake rest, the hippocampus replays sequences of place cells that have been activated during prior experiences. These have been interpreted as a memory consolidation process, but recent results suggest a possible interpretation in terms of reinforcement learning. The Dyna reinforcement learning algorithms use off-line replays to improve learning. Under limited replay budget, a prioritized sweeping approach, which requires a model of the transitions to the predecessors, can be used to improve performance. We investigate whether such algorithms can explain the experimentally observed replays. We propose a neural network version of prioritized sweeping Q-learning, for which we developed a growing multiple expert algorithm, able to cope with multiple predecessors. The resulting architecture is able to improve the learning of simulated agents confronted to a navigation task. We predict that, in animals, learning the world model should occur during rest periods, and that the corresponding replays should be shuffled.

description: Fedora is a flexible, extensible, open source repository platform for managing, preserving, and providing access to digital content. Fedora is used in a wide variety of institutions including libraries, museums, archives, and government organizations. The Fedora community recently released version 5.0, which brings the software into alignment with the recently published API specification. In 2019, the focus will shift to replacing the current, ModeShape-based API implementation with a more performant, preservation-focused application that implements the Oxford Common File Layout standard. This presentation will provide an overview of the most significant developments and initiatives in the Fedora community, with a focus on the impact on current and prospective users.
Z\rightarrow A^0 A^0ν\barν$ and $e^+e^-\rightarrow A^0 A^0 Z$ in Two Higgs Doublet Models

description: In LEP searches for the neutral CP-odd scalar $A^0$ of a multi-Higgs doublet model, experimenters have searched for $Z\rightarrow h^0 A^0$ (where $h^0$ is the lightest CP-even scalar). No model-independent limit on the $A^0$ mass can be deduced from present data if $m_{h^0}>m_Z$. In this paper, we compute the rates for $Z\rightarrow A^0 A^0ν\barν$ and $e^+e^-\rightarrow A^0 A^0 Z$. Assuming that no light CP-even neutral scalars exist, the branching ratio for $Z\rightarrow A^0 A^0ν\barν$ is found to be less than $1.4\times10^{-8}$. At higher $e^+e^-$ center-of-mass energies, $σ(e^+e^-\rightarrow A^0 A^0 Z)$ peaks at $0.5$~fb. A comparison with other direct searches for the $A^0$ is briefly considered.
