Critical Phenomena in the Einstein-Massless-Dirac System

description: We investigate the general relativistic collapse of spherically symmetric, massless spin-1/2 fields at the threshold of black hole formation. A spherically symmetric system is constructed from two spin-1/2 fields by forming a spin singlet with no net spin-angular momentum. We study the system numerically and find strong evidence for a Type II critical solution at the threshold between dispersal and black hole formation, with an associated mass scaling exponent $γ~ 0.26$. Although the critical solution is characterized by a continuously self-similar (CSS) geometry, the matter fields exhibit discrete self-similarity with an echoing exponent $Δ~ 1.34$. We then adopt a CSS ansatz and reduce the equations of motion to a set of ODEs. We find a solution of the ODEs that is analytic throughout the solution domain, and show that it corresponds to the critical solution found via dynamical evolutions.

Information-Theoretic Free Energy as Emotion Potential: Emotional Valence as a Function of Complexity and Novelty

description: This study extends the mathematical model of emotion dimensions that we previously proposed (Yanagisawa, et al. 2019, Front Comput Neurosci) to consider perceived complexity as well as novelty, as a source of arousal potential. Berlyne's hedonic function of arousal potential (or the inverse U-shaped curve, the so-called Wundt curve) is assumed. We modeled the arousal potential as information contents to be processed in the brain after sensory stimuli are perceived (or recognized), which we termed sensory surprisal. We mathematically demonstrated that sensory surprisal represents free energy, and it is equivalent to a summation of information gain (or information from novelty) and perceived complexity (or information from complexity), which are the collative variables forming the arousal potential. We demonstrated empirical evidence with visual stimuli (profile shapes of butterfly) supporting the hypothesis that the summation of perceived novelty and complexity shapes the inverse U-shaped beauty function. We discussed the potential of free energy as a mathematical principle explaining emotion initiators.
WOMEN IMMIGRANT COMMERCIAL CLEANERS’ EXPERIENCES WITH SOCIAL NETWORKS AND FAMILY RELATIONS
Creators: name: Lee, Eunjung
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: This thesis helps gain a better understanding of the family and social lives (outside work) of women immigrant service workers, who compose a multiply-marginalized group in terms of their social location in U.S. society. In order to analyze how their everyday lives intersect with multiple axes of social inequalities, I conducted semi-structured interviews with eight women immigrant commercial cleaners in the Washington DC area. This type of employment has been given little academic attention despite the large proportion of women immigrant service workers so employed. Through the participants’ immigrant experiences, this study elaborates on both the women’s autonomy and structural constraints on their agency. Specifically, their limited socio-economic resources seem to have increased a sense of social isolation, and their unequal gender division of household labor further prevents them from joining various social activities. The findings also call for social attention to the urgent need for appropriate childcare options for women workers like the participants in this study.
Kiswahili and Decolonization: The Inter-Territorial Language Committee and Successor Organizations, 1930-1970
Creators: name: Marshall, Andrew Tyler
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Governments have long used language policy as a means of social control. As FrantzFanon and Ngũgĩ wa Thiong’o have argued, language played a key role in supporting colonial rule across Africa and remains part of the colonial legacy. From the late 1920s through World War II, the British colonial governments of Kenya, Tanganyika, Uganda, and Zanzibar promoted the Kiswahili language as a regional lingua franca, a policy facilitated by the Inter-Territorial Language Committee for the East African Dependencies (ILC). I use published sources, archival records, and qualitative textual analysis of the ILC’s published journal to trace the Committee’s development from 1930 to 1970. Building on Ireri Mbaabu’s work, I argue that the British initially chose to promote and standardize Kiswahili as a way to make their subject societies more legible or, in other words, more efficiently governable but reversed course in the 1940s after realizing Kiswahili’s potential as a tool for anti-colonial organizing. The Committee adapted to the British language policy reversal by encouraging East African participation and switching its focus from social control to research. The Tanganyikan nationalists’ commitment to Kiswahili as a building block for a detribalized national identity allowed the Committee to survive the transition to independence and, as a research institute, continue to contribute to the study and promotion of Kiswahili in postcolonial Tanzania and beyond. My case study of the ILC’s transformation affirms the importance of language control for the colonial project and the value of African languages in addressing the ongoing colonial legacy of cultural destruction.

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: A geometric shape formed by consecutively connecting three points that do not lie on a straight line is called a triangle (Fig. 1). Triangle O is the simplest polygon. The three marked points are the vertices of the triangle, and the intersections connecting them are the sides of the triangle. Usually, the symbol D is used instead of the word œtriangle B: DABCB. This inscription means a triangle consisting of points A, B, C, and is read as triangle ABCB or triangle ABC. A triangle has three angles: ÐBAC, ÐABC, ÐACB, they are called angles of a triangle. (Figure 1). Triangle angles are also defined as ÐA, ÐB, ÐC. The sides and angles of a triangle are called its main elements. The sum of the lengths of the three sides of a triangle is called the perimeter of the triangle. It is usually denoted by the letter P. Also, BAC O is the angle lying between the sides AB and AC of the triangle, AB and AC are the sides adjacent to the angle BAC, and BC is the side opposite the angle BAC.

description: We have conducted a survey of X-ray sources in XMM-Newton observations of M31, examining their power density spectra (PDS) and spectral energy distributions (SEDs). Our automated source detection yielded 535 good X-ray sources; to date, we have studied 225 of them. In particular, we examined the PDS because low mass X-ray binaries (LMXBs) exhibit two distinctive types of PDS. At low accretion rates, the PDS is characterised by a broken power law, with the spectral index changing from ~0 to ~1 at some frequency in the range \~0.01--1 Hz; we refer to such PDS as Type A. At higher accretion rates, the PDS is described by a simple power law; we call these PDS Type B. Of the 225 sources studied to date, 75 exhibit Type A variability, and are almost certainly LMXBs, while 6 show Type B but not Type A, and are likely LMXBs. Of these 81 candidate LMXBs, 71 are newly identified in this survey; furthermore, they are mostly found near the centre of M31. Furthermore, most of the X-ray population in the disc are associated with the spiral arms, making them likely high mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs). In general these HMXBs do not exhibit Type A variability, while many central X-ray sources (LMXBs) in the same luminosity range do. Hence the PDS may distinguish between LMXBs and HMXBs in this luminosity range.

description: Why do foreign military interventions in support of counterinsurgents fail to consistently secure outright victory for their clients? In this thesis, I seek to clarify the effects of foreign military intervention (FMI) on intrastate conflict processes and outcomes. I test the plausibility of the theory that foreign intrusion produces a number of political and strategic effects that impede counterinsurgency. Specifically, I argue that FMI generates acute nationalist and populist resentment and resistance, and undermines the legitimacy of the regime it supports while increasing popular support for the insurrection. FMI also exacerbates information problems and creates incentives for foreign forces to resort to barbarism. This leads to indiscriminate violence by foreign forces, which further alienates the population. FMI can also alter the strategic dynamics of a conflict in ways that undermine the chances of government outright victory.Following a review of the extant literature on insurrection and foreign intervention, I propose a framework for illustrating the strategic dynamics between belligerents’ capabilities and strategies over time. I then conduct a mixed-methods study on the effects of FMI using a newly synthesized dataset of 263 cases of intrastate war. I test the relationship between FMI and the odds of supported governments defeating their insurrections outright and find that FMI has no statistically significant effect on conflict outcomes in a bivariate test, or when controlling for other variables. I then examine the case of the U.S. intervention in South Vietnam as a crucial case of FMI, and find strong support for the causal mechanisms of the intrusion factor theory.

description: We develop the basic theory of smooth representations of locally compact groups on bornological vector spaces. In this setup, we are able to formulate better general theorems than in the topological case. Still, smooth representations of totally disconnected groups on vector spaces and of Lie groups on Frechet spaces remain special cases of our theory. We identify smooth representations with essential modules over an appropriate convolution algebra. We examine smoothening functors on representations and modules and show that they agree if they are both defined. We establish the basic properties of induction and compact induction functors using adjoint functor techniques. We describe the center of the category of smooth representations.

description: We investigate theoretically the molecular yield in photoassociation of Bose-Einstein condensed sodium atoms for light intensities of the order of and above those applied in a recent experiment. Our results show that the rate at which ground state molecules may be formed saturates at high light intensities whereas the loss rate of condensate atoms does not. This is caused by the opposing roles of the short and long range pair correlations present near resonance under the influence of the laser and is crucial for the development of efficient photoassociation procedures in a condensate.

description: We present an effective field theory for doubly heavy baryons that goes beyond the compact heavy diquark approximation. The heavy-quark distance $r$ is only restricted to $m_Q\gg 1/r \gg E_{bin}$, where $m_Q$ is the mass of the heavy quark and $E_{bin}$ the typical binding energy. This means that the size of the heavy diquark can be as large as the typical size of a light hadron. We start from Non-Relativistic QCD, and build the effective field theory at next-to-leading in the $1/m_Q$ expansion. At leading order the effective field theory reduces to the Born-Oppenheimer approximation. The BO potentials are obtained from available lattice QCD data. The spectrum for double charm baryons below threshold is compatible with most of the lattice QCD results. We present for the first time the full spin averaged double bottom baryon spectrum below threshold based on QCD. We also present model-independent formulas for the spin splittings.

The Nature of Growth Rings in the Mangrove, Avicennia marina
Creators: name: Vulpas, Susan R.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: In this study we look at the irregular growth pattern of Avicennia marina mangroves on Guam to identify the number of growth layers the tree produces each year. Using a cambial marking technique and stable carbon isotopes, we looked at the growth patterns of Avicennia marina to identify the periodicity of growth layers and determine whether this mangrove population demonstrates the same successive cambia growth as found in Avicennia trees in other locations. In July 2013, a knife was used to create a 5 cm long mark on the cambium, the layer directly beneath, on 11 trees located along the southeast coast of Guam. The marked branches were collected in August 2014 and each branch was cut into five segments for analysis. The number of layers (dark and light layers counted separately) was 6.3 ± 0.4 (mean ± SE) with a 95% confidence interval of 5.8 to 6.8 growth layers. We conclude that although there is variation in the number of layers grown since the scar, it is reasonable to assume that the Avicennia marina mangroves on the southeast coast of Guam grow approximately six growth layers, or three complete growth rings in one calendar year.

description: We investigate the intrinsic spectral energy distribution (SED) of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) at infrared (IR) bands with 42 $z < 0.5$ optically luminous Palomar Green survey quasars through SED decomposition. We decompose the SEDs of the 42 quasars by combining an AGN IR template library Siebenmorgen2015 that covers a wide range of the AGN parameter space with three commonly used galaxy template libraries. We determine the median AGN SED from the best-fitting results. The far-IR (FIR) contribution of our median AGN SED is significantly smaller than that of Symeonidis et al. 2016, but roughly consistent with that of Lyu et al. 2017. The AGN IR SED becomes cooler with increasing bolometric luminosity, which might be due to that more luminous AGNs might have stronger radiative feedback to change torus structures and/or their tori might have higher metallicities. Our conclusions do not depend on the choice of galaxy template libraries. However, since the predicted polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission line flux is galaxy template-dependent, cautions should be taken on deriving galaxy FIR contribution from PAH fluxes.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

description: In display advertising, predicting the conversion rate, that is, the probability that a user takes a predefined action on an advertiser's website, such as purchasing goods is fundamental in estimating the value of displaying the advertisement. However, there is a relatively long time delay between a click and its resultant conversion. Because of the delayed feedback, some positive instances at the training period are labeled as negative because some conversions have not yet occurred when training data are gathered. As a result, the conditional label distributions differ between the training data and the production environment. This situation is referred to as a feedback shift. We address this problem by using an importance weight approach typically used for covariate shift correction. We prove its consistency for the feedback shift. Results in both offline and online experiments show that our proposed method outperforms the existing method.

description: Neutron scattering measurements on the spin-ice candidate material Ho$_2$Ru$_2$O$_7$ have revealed two magnetic transitions at T $\sim$ 95 K and T $\sim$ 1.4 K to long-range ordered states involving the Ru and Ho sublattices, respectively. Between these transitions, the Ho$^{3+}$ moments form short-ranged ordered spin clusters. The internal field provided by the ordered S=1 Ru$^{4+}$ moments disrupts the fragile spin-ice state and drives the Ho$^{3+}$ moments to order. We have directly measured a slight shift in the Ho$^{3+}$ crystal field levels at 95 K from the Ru ordering.

description: The right to be forgotten states that a data owner has the right to erase their data from an entity storing it. In the context of machine learning (ML), the right to be forgotten requires an ML model owner to remove the data owner's data from the training set used to build the ML model, a process known as machine unlearning. While originally designed to protect the privacy of the data owner, we argue that machine unlearning may leave some imprint of the data in the ML model and thus create unintended privacy risks. In this paper, we perform the first study on investigating the unintended information leakage caused by machine unlearning. We propose a novel membership inference attack that leverages the different outputs of an ML model's two versions to infer whether a target sample is part of the training set of the original model but out of the training set of the corresponding unlearned model. Our experiments demonstrate that the proposed membership inference attack achieves strong performance. More importantly, we show that our attack in multiple cases outperforms the classical membership inference attack on the original ML model, which indicates that machine unlearning can have counterproductive effects on privacy. We notice that the privacy degradation is especially significant for well-generalized ML models where classical membership inference does not perform well. We further investigate four mechanisms to mitigate the newly discovered privacy risks and show that releasing the predicted label only, temperature scaling, and differential privacy are effective. We believe that our results can help improve privacy protection in practical implementations of machine unlearning. Our code is available at https://github.com/MinChen00/UnlearningLeaks.

description: Recent progress in blind face restoration has resulted in producing high-quality restored results for static images. However, efforts to extend these advancements to video scenarios have been minimal, partly because of the absence of benchmarks that allow for a comprehensive and fair comparison. In this work, we first present a fair evaluation benchmark, in which we first introduce a Real-world Low-Quality Face Video benchmark (RFV-LQ), evaluate several leading image-based face restoration algorithms, and conduct a thorough systematical analysis of the benefits and challenges associated with extending blind face image restoration algorithms to degraded face videos. Our analysis identifies several key issues, primarily categorized into two aspects: significant jitters in facial components and noise-shape flickering between frames. To address these issues, we propose a Temporal Consistency Network (TCN) cooperated with alignment smoothing to reduce jitters and flickers in restored videos. TCN is a flexible component that can be seamlessly plugged into the most advanced face image restoration algorithms, ensuring the quality of image-based restoration is maintained as closely as possible. Extensive experiments have been conducted to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of our proposed TCN and alignment smoothing operation.

Quasi-equilibrium binary black hole sequences for puncture data derived from helical Killing vector conditions

description: We construct a sequence of binary black hole puncture data derived under the assumptions (i) that the ADM mass of each puncture as measured in the asymptotically flat space at the puncture stays constant along the sequence, and (ii) that the orbits along the sequence are quasi-circular in the sense that several necessary conditions for the existence of a helical Killing vector are satisfied. These conditions are equality of ADM and Komar mass at infinity and equality of the ADM and a rescaled Komar mass at each puncture. In this paper we explicitly give results for the case of an equal mass black hole binary without spin, but our approach can also be applied in the general case. We find that up to numerical accuracy the apparent horizon mass also remains constant along the sequence and that the prediction for the innermost stable circular orbit is similar to what has been found with the effective potential method.

description: In this article, we carry out the Hamiltonization in the axial gauge, of the t'Hooft-Polyakov monopole field outside the localized region, which represents the monopole's core. One feature of the treatment here, is using the Higgs vacuum condition as both strong and weak equation instead of using it in the degree of freedom reduction.

description: The Man and the Biosphere Program (MAB), begun in 1971 under UNESCO, seeks to develop the ability of participating countries to manage and conserve natural resources in line with each country's social and economic features. The Biosphere Reserve on St. John, Virgin Islands has been suggested as the keystone area for a multiple-site Lesser Antillean Biosphere Reserve in the Lesser Antilles. The MAB Program emphasizes environmental training and education, and incorporates an interdisciplinary approach in solving resource management problems in the field. One role of the proposed Lesser Antillean Biosphere Reserve would be to encourage improved agricultural practices by integrating farm management into an overall land use system in each country. The part small farm systems play in the Lesser Antillean ecological scene is an important one. Few countries can afford to lock up major portions of their natural resources from any form of consumptive utilization. Benefits of a Lesser Antillean Biosphere Reserve might include provision for sharing research efforts, restoration of degraded environments, and improved quality of life.

description: Excitotoxicity is a degenerative neurological condition involved in many common pathologies but is not well understood. Previous research suggests β-lactam compounds may offer neuroprotective abilities against excitotoxicity. This project aimed to screen, in vivo, a series of novel β-lactam compounds that exhibited in vitro neuroprotective effects. Zebrafish (Danio rerio) were used as a model organism in which excitotoxicity was induced with glutamate agonists and quantified via swimming behavior. Due to their size, rapid development, and high degree of brain homology relative to humans, zebrafish are an emerging model organism for neurological research. Results from this study demonstrated successful toxicology screening protocols for novel compounds, in addition to the feasibility of accurately quantifying zebrafish larvae movement. Results also suggest that the excitotoxicity model requires refinement for more substantial conclusions.

description: Resulting from baseline surveys of small farm systems in Dominica, the Caribbean Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI) and the French Technical Cooperation (FTC) recognized the unavailability of clean yam planting material as a major production constraint. Institut National de la Recherche Agronomique (INRA), Guadeloupe and CARDI, Barbardos have developed anthracnose resistant (Bilep and SEA 189) and virus rested (Whire Lisbon) Dioscorea alata cultivars respectively during the last decade. In 1981 to 1982 samples of the above material were introduced into Dominica in order to alleviate the problem of lack of clean planting material. This paper describes the farming systems' methodologies utilized by CARDI and FTC to introduce this clean yam planting material into the small farm systems of Dominica. Results to date are discussed herein.

description: The Boltzmann Machine (BM) is a neural network composed of stochastically firing neurons that can learn complex probability distributions by adapting the synaptic interactions between the neurons. BMs represent a very generic class of stochastic neural networks that can be used for data clustering, generative modelling and deep learning. A key drawback of software-based stochastic neural networks is the required Monte Carlo sampling, which scales intractably with the number of neurons. Here, we realize a physical implementation of a BM directly in the stochastic spin dynamics of a gated ensemble of coupled cobalt atoms on the surface of semiconducting black phosphorus. Implementing the concept of orbital memory utilizing scanning tunnelling microscopy, we demonstrate the bottom-up construction of atomic ensembles whose stochastic current noise is defined by a reconfigurable multi-well energy landscape. Exploiting the anisotropic behaviour of black phosphorus, we build ensembles of atoms with two well-separated intrinsic time scales that represent neurons and synapses. By characterizing the conditional steady-state distribution of the neurons for given synaptic configurations, we illustrate that an ensemble can represent many distinct probability distributions. By probing the intrinsic synaptic dynamics, we reveal an autonomous reorganization of the synapses in response to external electrical stimuli. This self-adaptive architecture paves the way for on-chip learning directly in atomic-scale machine learning hardware.
