description: The emerging public awareness and government regulations of data privacy motivate new paradigms of collecting and analyzing data that are transparent and acceptable to data owners. We present a new concept of privacy and corresponding data formats, mechanisms, and theories for privatizing data during data collection. The privacy, named Interval Privacy, enforces the raw data conditional distribution on the privatized data to be the same as its unconditional distribution over a nontrivial support set. Correspondingly, the proposed privacy mechanism will record each data value as a random interval (or, more generally, a range) containing it. The proposed interval privacy mechanisms can be easily deployed through survey-based data collection interfaces, e.g., by asking a respondent whether its data value is within a randomly generated range. Another unique feature of interval mechanisms is that they obfuscate the truth but do not perturb it. Using narrowed range to convey information is complementary to the popular paradigm of perturbing data. Also, the interval mechanisms can generate progressively refined information at the discretion of individuals, naturally leading to privacy-adaptive data collection. We develop different aspects of theory such as composition, robustness, distribution estimation, and regression learning from interval-valued data. Interval privacy provides a new perspective of human-centric data privacy where individuals have a perceptible, transparent, and simple way of sharing sensitive data.

description: We study $\bar{Q}Q\bar{q}q$ and $\bar{Q}qQ\bar{q}$ states as mixed states in QCD sum rules. By calculating the two-point correlation functions of pure states of their corresponding currents, we review the mass and coupling constant predictions of $J^{PC}=1^{++}$, $1^{--}$, $1^{-+}$ states. By calculating the two-point mixed correlation functions of $\bar{Q}Q\bar{q}q$ and $\bar{Q}qQ\bar{q}$ currents, and we estimate the mass and coupling constants of the corresponding `"physical state" that couples to both $\bar{Q}Q\bar{q}q$ and $\bar{Q}qQ\bar{q}$ currents. Our results suggest that $1^{++}$ states are more likely mixing from $\bar{Q}Q\bar{q}q$ and $\bar{Q}qQ\bar{q}$ components, while for $1^{--}$ and $1^{-+}$ states, there is less mixing between $\bar{Q}Q\bar{q}q$ and $\bar{Q}qQ\bar{q}$. Our results suggest the $Y$ series of states have more complicated components.

description: Learning representations of words in a continuous space is perhaps the most fundamental task in NLP, however words interact in ways much richer than vector dot product similarity can provide. Many relationships between words can be expressed set-theoretically, for example, adjective-noun compounds (eg. "red cars"$\subseteq$"cars") and homographs (eg. "tongue"$\cap$"body" should be similar to "mouth", while "tongue"$\cap$"language" should be similar to "dialect") have natural set-theoretic interpretations. Box embeddings are a novel region-based representation which provide the capability to perform these set-theoretic operations. In this work, we provide a fuzzy-set interpretation of box embeddings, and learn box representations of words using a set-theoretic training objective. We demonstrate improved performance on various word similarity tasks, particularly on less common words, and perform a quantitative and qualitative analysis exploring the additional unique expressivity provided by Word2Box.

description: In one-dimension, the diffusion of particles along a line is slowed by the addition of energy barriers. The same is true in two-dimensions, provided that the confining channel in which the particles move doesn't change shape. However, if the shape changes then this is no longer necessarily true; adding energy barriers can enhance the rate of diffusion, and even restore free diffusion. We explore these effects for a channel with a sinusoidally varying curvature.

description: In this work, we extended a stochastic model for football leagues based on the team's potential [R. da Silva et al. Comput. Phys. Commun. \textbf{184} 661--670 (2013)] for making predictions instead of only performing a successful characterization of the statistics on the punctuation of the real leagues. Our adaptation considers the advantage of playing at home when considering the potential of the home and away teams. The algorithm predicts the tournament's outcome by using the market value or/and the ongoing team's performance as initial conditions in the context of Monte Carlo simulations. We present and compare our results to the worldwide known SPI predictions performed by the "FiveThirtyEight" project. The results show that the algorithm can deliver good predictions even with a few ingredients and in more complicated seasons like the 2020 editions where the matches were played without fans in the stadiums.

description: Critical intermittency stands for a type of intermittent dynamics in iterated function systems, caused by an interplay of a superstable fixed point and a repelling fixed point. We consider critical intermittency for iterated function systems of interval maps and demonstrate the existence of a phase transition when varying probabilities, where the absolutely continuous stationary measure changes between finite and infinite. We discuss further properties of this stationary measure and show that its density is not in $L^q$ for any $q > 1$. This provides a theory of critical intermittency alongside the theory for the well studied Manneville-Pomeau maps, where the intermittency is caused by a neutral fixed point.

This project is conducted by the Socioeconomic, Environmental Health and Health Services (CARES) research group, Department of Precision Health at Luxembourg Institute of Health. This scoping review will apply intersectionality to understand gender inequality in health, examining how gender-based health inequality manifests in society. The review aims to identify individual characteristics (i.e., material possessions, socioeconomic position, socio-cultural identities, and behavioral factors) and environmental factors to provide an overview of gender inequalities in health. To conceptualise intersectionality, this scoping review will follow Crenshaw’s intersectional framework, which is widely adopted in public health studies.

description: Cosmic voids defined as a subset of Delaunay Triangulation (DT) circumspheres have been used to measure the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO) scale; providing tighter constraints on cosmological parameters when combined with matter tracers. These voids are defined as spheres larger than a given radius threshold, which is constant over the survey volume. However, the response of these void tracers to observational systematics has not yet been studied. In this work we analyse the response of void clustering to selection effects. We find for the case of moderate (<20 per cent) incompleteness, void selection based on a constant radius cut yields robust measurements. This is particularly true for BAO-reconstructed galaxy samples, where large-scale void exclusion effects are mitigated. Moreover, we observe for the case of severe (up to 90 per cent) incompleteness -- such as can be found at the edges of the radial selection function -- that an accurate estimation of the void distribution is necessary for unbiased clustering measurements. In addition, we find that without reconstruction, using a constant threshold under these conditions produces a stronger void exclusion effect that can affect the clustering on large scales. A new void selection criteria dependent on the (local) observed tracer density that maximises the BAO peak significance prevents the aforementioned exclusion features from contaminating the BAO signal. Finally, we verify, with large simulations including light cone evolution, that both void sample definitions (local and constant) yield unbiased and consistent BAO scale measurements.

title: Repräsentationen regionaler Nahrungsmittel und Gerichte
Creators: name: Pilz, Sonja

description: Die Diplomarbeit behandelt die Präsentation und Darstellung regionaler Nahrungsmittel und Gerichte in der Region Mühlviertler Alm. Es wird versucht, Zuschreibungen und Appelle, anhand von Beschreibungen und Bilder regionaler Produkte, herauszuarbeiten. Die Analyse dieser Beschreibungen und Bilder von Regionalität findet ihren Schwerpunkt in der Darstellung von Gerichten und Produkten, die vormals als einfach und selbstverständlich galten, sich aber im Zuge der Aufwertung der Region in einer Positionierung zum Besonderen wiederfinden. Darin spiegelt sich auch eine gezielte Unterscheidungs- und Abgrenzungspolitik im regionalen Kontext wider. Der kulturwissenschaftliche Diskurs lässt dabei erkennen, dass Regionalität als Begleiterscheinung im Prozess der Globalisierung zu sehen ist und sich beide aufeinander beziehen. In der Untersuchung wird allerdings ersichtlich, dass in der Praxis die Regionalität von Produkten höher gewertet wird und sich diese dadurch in der Position eines Gegenspielers zur Globalität wiederfindet. Vor allem in der Lebensmittel- und Werbeindustrie, sowie in Aussagen seitens Politik und Tourismus wird Regionalität als Zeichen von Qualität dargestellt. In der Region Mühlviertler Alm werden Herkunftsgarantien regionaler Produkte und Gerichte durch die Darstellung von Natürlichkeit und Einfachheit untermalt. Landschaftsbilder spielen neben Ausdrücklichkeiten, die in den betonten „traditionellen“ Zubereitungsweisen und in den Geschichten erkennbar sind, eine große Rolle. Betonungen auf Tradition, Gemütlichkeit und dem Wissen um den Herkunftsort der Produkte zeugen von einem Netz, welches den KonsumentInnen ein Gefühl der Sicherheit aufgrund der Überschaubarkeit der Region bietet. Der Konsum regionaler Produkte wird vor allem von politischer Seite forciert. In dementsprechenden Botschaften finden sich Appelle für ein Verantwortungsbewusstsein gegenüber dem ländlichen Raum ebenso wieder, wie die Aufforderung einen Beitrag zum Klimaschutz, im Sinne der Nachhaltigkeit und durch kurze Transportwege, zu leisten. Der regionale Bezug und die gespürte Nähe, die auch in der Sichtbarkeit von Produktionsorten liegt, lassen ein Vertrauen zu den regionalen Produkten und dadurch eine Art Qualitäts- und Sicherheitsversprechen entstehen.

description: We consider homogeneous open quantum random walks on a lattice with finite dimensional local Hilbert space and we study in particular the position process of the quantum trajectories of the walk. We prove that the properly rescaled position process asymptotically approaches a mixture of Gaussian measures. We can generalize the existing central limit type results and give more explicit expressions for the involved asymptotic quantities, dropping any additional condition on the walk. We use deformation and spectral techniques, together with reducibility properties of the local channel associated with the open quantum walk. Further, we can provide a large deviations' principle in the case of a fast recurrent local channel and at least lower and upper bounds in the general case.

description: The development of enhanced sampling methods has greatly extended the scope of atomistic simulations, allowing long-time phenomena to be studied with accessible computational resources. Many such methods rely on the identification of an appropriate set of collective variables. These are meant to describe the system's modes that most slowly approach equilibrium. Once identified, the equilibration of these modes is accelerated by the enhanced sampling method of choice. An attractive way of determining the collective variables is to relate them to the eigenfunctions and eigenvalues of the transfer operator. Unfortunately, this requires knowing the long-term dynamics of the system beforehand, which is generally not available. However, we have recently shown that it is indeed possible to determine efficient collective variables starting from biased simulations. In this paper, we bring the power of machine learning and the efficiency of the recently developed on-the-fly probability enhanced sampling method to bear on this approach. The result is a powerful and robust algorithm that, given an initial enhanced sampling simulation performed with trial collective variables or generalized ensembles, extracts transfer operator eigenfunctions using a neural network ansatz and then accelerates them to promote sampling of rare events. To illustrate the generality of this approach we apply it to several systems, ranging from the conformational transition of a small molecule to the folding of a mini-protein and the study of materials crystallization.

Abstract:

Laser plasma wakefield accelerators have seen tremendous progress in the last years, now capable of producing electron beams in the GeV energy range. The inherent few-femtoseconds short bunch duration of these accelerators leads to ultra-high peak-currents.

Reducing the energy spread found in these accelerators, while scaling their output to hundreds of kiloampere peak current would stimulate the next generation of radiation sources covering high-field THz, high-brightness X-ray and -ray sources, compact free-electron lasers and laboratory-size beam-driven plasma accelerators. At such high currents, an accelerator operates in the beam loaded regime where the accelerating field is strongly modified by the self-fields of the injected bunch, potentially deteriorating key beam parameters. However, if appropriately controlled, the beam loading effect can be employed to improve the accelerator’s performance, specifically to reduce the energy spread.

In this thesis the beam-loading effect is systematically studied at a quasi-monoenergetic nanocoulomb-class laser wakefield accelerator. For this purpose, a tailored scheme of the self-truncated ionisation injection process is introduced for the non-linear bubble regime. This scheme facilitates stable and tunable injection of high-charge electron bunches within a short and limited time-frame, ensuring low energy spread right after injection. Employing a three millimetres gas-jet acceleration medium and a moderate 150 TW short pulse laser system as driver, unprecedented charges of up to 0.5 nC within a quasi-monoenergetic peak and energies of ~0.5 GeV are achieved. Studying the beam loading mechanism, it is demonstrated that at the optimal loading condition, i.e. at a specific amount of injected charge, performance of the accelerator is optimised with a minimisation of the energy spread. At a relative energy spread of only 15%, the associated peak current is around 10 kA, while scaling this scheme to operate with a petawatt driver laser promises peak-currents up to 100 kA.

description: The cosmological constant $Λ$ and cold dark matter (CDM) model ($Λ\text{CDM}$) is one of the pillars of modern cosmology and is widely used as the de facto theoretical model by current and forthcoming surveys. As the nature of dark energy is very elusive, in order to avoid the problem of model bias, here we present a novel null test at the perturbation level that uses the growth of matter perturbation data in order to assess the concordance model. We analyze how accurate this null test can be reconstructed by using data from forthcoming surveys creating mock catalogs based on $Λ\text{CDM}$ and three models that display a different evolution of the matter perturbations, namely a dark energy model with constant equation of state $w$ ($w$CDM), the Hu \& Sawicki and designer $f(R)$ models, and we reconstruct them with a machine learning technique known as the Genetic Algorithms. We show that with future LSST-like mock data our consistency test will be able to rule out these viable cosmological models at more than 5$σ$, help to check for tensions in the data and alleviate the existing tension of the amplitude of matter fluctuations $S_8=σ_8\left(Ω_m/0.3\right)^{0.5}$.

description: Electrolyte solutions play an important role in energy storage devices, whose performance highly relies on the electrokinetic processes at sub-micron scales.\ Although fluctuations and stochastic features become more critical at small scales, the long-range Coulomb interactions pose a particular challenge for both theoretical analysis and simulation of fluid systems with fluctuating hydrodynamic and electrostatic interactions. Here, we present a theoretical framework based on the Landau-Lifshitz theory to derive closed-form expressions of fluctuation correlations in electrolyte solutions, indicating significantly different decorrelation processes of ionic concentration fluctuations from hydrodynamic fluctuations, which provides insights for understanding transport phenomena of coupled fluctuating hydrodynamics and electrokinetics. Furthermore, we simulate fluctuating electrokinetic systems using both molecular dynamics (MD) with explicit ions and mesoscopic charged dissipative particle dynamics (cDPD) with semi-implicit ions, from which we identify that the spatial probability density functions of local charge density follow Gamma distribution at sub-nanometer scale (i.e., 0.3 nm) and converge to Gaussian distribution above nanometer scales (i.e., 1.55 nm), indicating the existence of a lower limit of length scale for mesoscale models using Gaussian fluctuations. The temporal correlation functions of both hydrodynamic and electrokinetic fluctuations are computed from all-atom MD and mesoscale cDPD simulations, showing a good agreement with the theoretical predictions based on the linearized fluctuating hydrodynamics theory.

Notes. – The holotype is a collection folder of two sheets one of which has the species name in Boissier’s handwriting and the locality as above printed. The collection number, day, month, and altitude were handwritten (Fig. 25, p. 117). The other sheet has fully printed label as in all the isotypes.
The printed labels of the isotypes lack the altitude and have the phrase “In declivibus septentrionem versus spectantibus” inserted before the locality data.
There was no need to lectotypify the name, as done in ESMAILBEGI et al. (2017a), because the species was based solely on the unicate in G-BOIS.

description: Bose-Hubbard models are simple paradigmatic lattice models used to study dynamics and phases of quantum bosonic matter. We combine the extended Bose-Hubbard model in the hard-core regime with ring-exchange hoppings. By investigating the symmetries and low-energy properties of the Hamiltonian we argue that the model hosts fractonic defect excitations. We back up our claims with exact numerical simulations of defect dynamics exhibiting mobility constraints. Moreover, we confirm the robustness of our results against fracton symmetry breaking perturbations. Finally we argue that this model can be experimentally realized in recently proposed quantum simulator platforms with big time crystals, thus paving a way for the controlled study of many-body dynamics with mobility constraints.

description: We study the degenerate Kolmogorov equations (also known as kinetic Fokker-Planck equations) in nondivergence form. The leading coefficients $a^{ij}$ are merely measurable in $t$ and satisfy the vanishing mean oscillation (VMO) condition in $x, v$ with respect to some quasi-metric. We also assume boundedness and uniform nondegeneracy of $a^{ij}$ with respect to $v$. We prove global a priori estimates in weighted mixed-norm Lebesgue spaces and solvability results. We also show an application of the main result to the Landau equation. Our proof does not rely on any kernel estimates.

Toward the nonequilibrium thermodynamic analog of complexity and the Jarzynski identity

description: The Jarzynski identity can describe small-scale nonequilibrium systems through stochastic thermodynamics. The identity considers fluctuating trajectories in a phase space. The complexity geometry frames the discussions on quantum computational complexity using the method of Riemannian geometry, which builds a bridge between optimal quantum circuits and classical geodesics in the space of unitary operators. Complexity geometry enables the application of the methods of classical physics to deal with pure quantum problems. By combining the two frameworks, i.e., the Jarzynski identity and complexity geometry, we derived a complexity analog of the Jarzynski identity using the complexity geometry. We considered a set of geodesics in the space of unitary operators instead of the trajectories in a phase space. The obtained complexity version of the Jarzynski identity strengthened the evidence for the existence of a well-defined resource theory of uncomplexity and presented an extensive discussion on the second law of complexity. Furthermore, analogous to the thermodynamic fluctuation-dissipation theorem, we proposed a version of the fluctuation-dissipation theorem for the complexity. Although this study does not focus on holographic fluctuations, we found that the results are surprisingly suitable for capturing their information. The results obtained using nonequilibrium methods may contribute to understand the nature of the complexity and study the features of the holographic fluctuations.

description: Current electrochemical sensors in point-of-care (POC) testing devices rely mainly on enzyme-based sensors owing to superior sensitivity and selectivity. Nevertheless, the poor stability, high reagent cost, complex fabrication methods and requirement of specific operational conditions make their adaptability in real-world applications unfavorable. Non-enzymatic electrochemical sensors are thus developed as they are more robust and cost-effective strategies. The advancement in material science and nanotechnology enables the development of novel non-enzymatic electrodes with favorable analytical performance. However, the developments are yet far from being adopted as viable products. This review therefore aims to gain insight into the field and evaluate the current progress and challenges to eventually propose future research directions. Here, fabrication strategies based on traditional and emerging technology are discussed in the light of analytical performance and cost-effectiveness. Moreover, the discussion is given on the pros and cons of non-enzymatic sensors when they are employed with various kinds of sample matrices, i.e., clinical and non-clinical samples, which must be taken into consideration for sensor development. Furthermore, molecular imprinting technology in tackling the selectivity issue is introduced and current progress is provided. Finally, the promising strategies from literature for solving the remaining challenges are included which could facilitate further development of robust POC testing devices based non-enzymatic sensors. We believe that once researchers and technology developers have reached the point where most problems are solved, the non-enzymatic sensors are going to be the robust choice for POC testing in clinical diagnostic, ensuring food safety, monitoring contaminants in environment, and bioprocess control.
