Discovering failure, failing thoughtfully: the wills and costs of academics
Creators: name: Kaplan, Man
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2022

description: Academia is no abstract place. Today, it stands at a crossroads of an ongoing pandemic, the questioning of science and medicine, changes in learning conditions, global waves of protest, and calls for academic reparations. I see this confluence as an opening, and a possibility: now is the time to reflect on the academy’s public role and social responsibility, to think about the mechanics and ramifications of academic practice, and to consider how, in the face of dehumanizing, alienating world circumstances, academics might leverage their vocation to sow community. This is the work of Discovering Failure, Failing Thoughtfully: The Wills and Costs of Academics, an interdisciplinary, mixed-methods investigation into the relationship between modes of knowledge production and social relations from a decolonial feminist and cognitive sociological perspective. Discovering failure draws on three data sets: an archive of North American and Western European discourse from as early as the 15th century; two rounds of interviews with thirty-four academics across the Tristate Area and at different stages in their career; and autoethnographic field notes on my educational trajectory and experiences organizing academics within and beyond the university for social justice and equity. With this research, the tools of cognitive sociology, and following decolonial, Black feminist, Black radical, and Indigenous scholars, I outline academia’s normative ethical and ontological contours and elaborate approaches to higher education and research capable of effecting the anti-oppressive, humanizing communities to which academics have long aspired. Ultimately, I argue that standard academic practice and culture is liable to facilitate racist, sexist, and colonialist imaginaries and social orders. And yet, my work, through its thoughtful methods and applications, seeks to destabilize that legacy and create new humanizing futures for everyone. Discovering Failure thus recommends a thoughtful turn to those who have stayed the standard humanist course, which would entail a reimagining of authorship, authority, and academic excellence in the name of a new, more collaborative humanism that takes seriously, rather than simply pursues questions of difference.

description: Traditionally, distributed machine learning takes the guise of (i) different nodes training the same model (as in federated learning), or (ii) one model being split among multiple nodes (as in distributed stochastic gradient descent). In this work, we highlight how fog- and IoT-based scenarios often require combining both approaches, and we present a framework for flexible parallel learning (FPL), achieving both data and model parallelism. Further, we investigate how different ways of distributing and parallelizing learning tasks across the participating nodes result in different computation, communication, and energy costs. Our experiments, carried out using state-of-the-art deep-network architectures and large-scale datasets, confirm that FPL allows for an excellent trade-off among computational (hence energy) cost, communication overhead, and learning performance.

description: Tunneling ionization of an atom in ultrashort laser pulses is considered. When the driving laser pulse is switched-on and -off with a steep slope, the photoelectron momentum distribution (PMD) shows an edge-effect because of the photoelectron diffraction by the time-slit of the pulse. The trivial diffraction pattern of the edge effect consisting of fast oscillations in the PMD disguises in the deep nonadiabatic regime the physically more interesting features in the spectrum which originate from the photoelectron dynamics. We point out the precise conditions how to avoid this scenario experimentally and if unavoidable in theory we put forward an efficient method to remove the edge-effect in the PMD. This allows to highlight the nonadiabatic dynamical features of the PMD, which is indispensable for their further investigation in complex computationally demanding scenarios. The method is firstly demonstrated on a one-dimensional problem, and further applied in three-dimensions for the attoclock. The method is validated by a comparison of analytical results via the strong-field approximation with numerical solutions of the time-dependent Schrödinger equation.

description: We present numerical calculations of the partial width of the charged Higgs boson decay into a top quark, $H^- \rightarrow \bar{t} + b + X$, and the partial width of the top quark decay into a light charged Higgs boson $t \rightarrow H^+ + b + X$ at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD, based on a factorization formula of the jet mass. The NNLO corrections significantly reduce the renormalization scale dependence of the partial decay width in both cases. We show relative size of the NNLO corrections for different charged Higgs boson masses and for different renormalization scales. The NNLO corrections are about 16% (1%) of the leading order widths for the charged Higgs boson mass of 200GeV (2000GeV), while it is quite small for the top quark decay. Our analyses are independent of the detailed structure of the Yukawa couplings, and can be applied to various new physics models, as demonstrated by the decay branching ratio in different types of the two-Higgs-doublet models.

description: Nanotechnology is nowadays fully used in all sorts of different products, ranging from cosmetics to electronics. This fact arouses new concerns related to health, environment and safety. Therefore it is important to identify all impacts the use of this technology might have. This project aims to recognize the advantages and disadvantages of the Cerium (IV) Oxide use, focusing mainly on the utilization as a catalyst reducing both fuel consumption and emissions. In order to evaluate the risk and benefits of CeO2 usage the advantages and drawbacks were identified and the Swiss Precautionary Matrix used for completing a preliminary risk assessment.

description: We derive a formula for the connected $n$-point functions of a tau-function of the BKP hierarchy in terms of its affine coordinates. This is a BKP-analogue of a formula for KP tau-functions proved by Zhou in [arXiv:1507.01679]. Moreover, we prove a simple relation between the KP-affine coordinates of a tau-function $τ(\mathbf{t})$ of the KdV hierarchy and the BKP-affine coordinates of $τ(\mathbf{t}/2)$. As applications, we present a new algorithm to compute the free energies of the Witten-Kontsevich tau-function and the Brézin-Gross-Witten tau-function.

description: M105 is an early-type galaxy in the nearby Leo I group, the closest galaxy group to contain all galaxy types and therefore an excellent environment to explore the low-mass end of intra-group light (IGL) assembly. We present a new extended kinematic survey of planetary nebulae (PNe) in M105 and the surrounding 30'x30' in the Leo I group with the Planetary Nebula Spectrograph. We use PNe as kinematic tracers of the diffuse stellar light in the halo and IGL and employ Gaussian mixture models to separate contributions from the companion galaxy NGC 3384 and associate PNe with halo and IGL components around M105. We present a catalogue of 314 PNe and firmly associate 93 with NGC 3384 and 169 with M105. The PNe in M105 are further associated with its halo and the surrounding exponential envelope. We construct smooth velocity and velocity dispersion fields and calculate projected rotation, velocity dispersion, and $λ_R$ profiles for each component. Halo PNe exhibit declining velocity dispersion and rotation profiles, while the velocity dispersion and rotation of the exponential envelope increase notably at large radii. We identify three regimes with distinct kinematics that are linked to distinct stellar population properties: (i) the rotating core (within $1~R_\mathrm{eff}$) formed in situ and dominated by metal-rich ([M/H]~0) stars likely formed in situ, (ii) the halo from 1 to $7.5~R_\mathrm{eff}$ consisting of intermediate-metallicity stars ([M/H]>-1), either formed in situ or brought in through major mergers, and (iii) the exponential envelope reaching beyond our farthest data point at 16 $R_\mathrm{eff}$, predominately composed of metal-poor ([M/H]<-1) stars. The high velocity dispersion and moderate rotation of the latter are consistent with that measured for dwarf satellite galaxies in the Leo I group, indicating that the exponential envelope traces the transition to the IGL.

Genetic Tools for the Captive Conservation Management of Gibbons
Creators: name: Lansdowne, Lauren E.
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2022
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: The gibbons (Hylobatidae) are 20 species of primate native to South-east Asia. All species are listed as Vulnerable by the IUCN. One of the measures employed in their conservation are global captive breeding programmes, managed in Europe by the European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA). As captive populations are small and largely closed, they are vulnerable to inbreeding and loss of genetic diversity. These processes can be detrimental to the animals as health issues develop, and reduce the chances of long-term survival of the species. A microsatellite panel of 12 variable nuclear loci was developed, successfully generating profiles on all species tested (n=11). A general trend of loss of genetic diversity and heterozygosity was seen in the EAZA populations, though this varied by species. Inbreeding was detected in the Symphalangus syndactylus population. Comparisons with samples from the University of Tokyo indicate the EAZA collection does not possess the range of genetic diversity present in these species. The panel was also used to resolve a case of uncertain paternity. Additionally, some loci appear to have species-specific alleles, providing utility in species identification. Gibbon species within genera are able to hybridise to produce viable offspring. Furthermore, some gibbon species are difficult to distinguish phenotypically. This issue is compounded by recent changes in the gibbon taxonomy, sometimes long after individuals were taken from the wild. This raises the possibility of cryptic hybrids within the captive populations, threatening the genetic integrity of those species groups. Phylogenetic methods and analysis of newly identified transposable element insertion loci were used to genetically identify gibbon species. Mixed-species ancestry was revealed in four lineages in the EAZA collection, and five in the Tokyo samples. These tools are not only of benefit to captive breeding institutions, but also rescue centres and researchers.

description: Normalizing flows are a class of deep generative models that provide a promising route to sample lattice field theories more efficiently than conventional Monte Carlo simulations. In this work we show that the theoretical framework of stochastic normalizing flows, in which neural-network layers are combined with Monte Carlo updates, is the same that underlies out-of-equilibrium simulations based on Jarzynski's equality, which have been recently deployed to compute free-energy differences in lattice gauge theories. We lay out a strategy to optimize the efficiency of this extended class of generative models and present examples of applications.

description: Many of us are used to collaborating at scholarly level with peers, but working with undergraduate students is a different experience. While students have tremendous potential, many of them also need more structure and support in a mentored research project. Undergraduate students benefit from having a supportive part of a larger project, as long they understand the value of their contribution and are engaged in scholarly conversation with a mentor. By working with students, mentors can get additional support on an on-going project or explore facets of their research that they would not have otherwise.

description: In collaboration with Fokdal Springvand A/S our group has sought to develop nozzles for the creation of laminar and hollow-jet water fountains. Hollow-jet water fountains have the advantage of using significantly less water, and thereby reducing the required pump-power. Different nozzle designs have been manufactured and tested, and the result was a laminar hollow jet able to maintain its integrity for up to 1 meter before collapsing in on itself. The result was a strong reduction in pump power, but with a small trade-off on the esthetics of the jet.

description: Recently, there has been a surge in research in multimodal machine translation (MMT), where additional modalities such as images are used to improve translation quality of textual systems. A particular use for such multimodal systems is the task of simultaneous machine translation, where visual context has been shown to complement the partial information provided by the source sentence, especially in the early phases of translation. In this paper, we propose the first Transformer-based simultaneous MMT architecture, which has not been previously explored in the field. Additionally, we extend this model with an auxiliary supervision signal that guides its visual attention mechanism using labelled phrase-region alignments. We perform comprehensive experiments on three language directions and conduct thorough quantitative and qualitative analyses using both automatic metrics and manual inspection. Our results show that (i) supervised visual attention consistently improves the translation quality of the MMT models, and (ii) fine-tuning the MMT with supervision loss enabled leads to better performance than training the MMT from scratch. Compared to the state-of-the-art, our proposed model achieves improvements of up to 2.3 BLEU and 3.5 METEOR points.

description: It was recently shown that the extremal charged black holes in STU supergravity suffer from superradiant instability owing to the existence of the unstable (low-frequency) quasibound states associated with a charged massive scalar field. In this paper, we show numerically that for some charge configurations, these black holes can also excite the (higher-frequency) superradiantly unstable quasinormal modes. We find empirically that the unstable modes are closely related to having a volcano-shaped effective potential in the Schrödinger-like wave equation.

description: Wireless sensor networks, where a large number of small sensing and computing devices are deployed in the environment, enables remote sensing and monitoring of climate and environmental conditions within a potential large area which can be in the outdoor environment as well as indoor in buildings. When applied in buildings, a more efficient monitoring of temperature, airflow, lighting, humidity, etc. will not only allow a better indoor climate, but also reduce the amount of energy usages and, hence CO2. Although the sensing and computing devices are small, they need energy to run! Until recently, energy has been provided by batteries. However, it is possible to harvest energy from the environment, effectively obtaining a free and clean energy source. In this project, we will explore the potential of harvesting energy from temperature differences. The energy lies in the heat flow between objects and the surrounding air. When the surrounding air temperature changes, objects situated in this air will change temperature correspondingly, but with a small time delay. Due to this time delay there will be moments where a temperature difference between the air and the object arises. This temperature difference can be utilised to harvest electrical energy using a peltier element. The project will develop a thermal energy harvesting model which can be used to simulate how much energy can be harvested from a certain object in a certain temperature environment. The model will be tested and verified in a free field climate chamber provided by Delta.

description: In this work, we explore the signals of an $S_3$-symmetric two Higgs doublet model with two generations of vector-like leptons (VLLs) at the proposed International Linear Collider (ILC). The lightest neutral component of the VLL in this model provides a viable dark matter (DM) candidate satisfying the current relic density data as well as circumventing all direct and indirect DM search constraints. Some representative benchmark points have been selected with low, medium and high DM masses, satisfying all theoretical and experimental constraints of the model and constraints coming from the DM sector. The VLLs (both neutral and charged) will be produced in pair leading to multi-lepton and multi-jet final states. We show that the ILC will prove to be a much more efficient and useful machine to hunt for such signals compared to LHC. Using traditional cut-based analysis as well as sophisticated multivariate analysis, we perform a detailed analysis of some promising channels containing mono-lepton plus di-jet, di-lepton, four-lepton and four jets along with missing transverse energy in the final state at 1 TeV ILC.

A City in Transition? Exploiting Common Wares to Question Socio- Cultural and Economic Change in Late Antique Rome
Creators: name: Pegurri, Alessandra

description: Rome between AD 300-600 was a city in transition, which saw major changes in its demographic and economic profile. While much debated via text and monuments and through charting changes in international trade, older studies rarely engaged with the ‘ordinary’ material culture to see how far changes affecting Rome are reflected in the everyday. This thesis therefore investigates the much-neglected data offered by Common Wares - ceramics for household activities not used for cooking on hearths/ovens - to question material changes and responses. My analysis centres on the systematic and critical study of Common Wares assemblages from three recently excavated contexts in Rome (the Curiae Veteres sanctuary site and the Horti Lamiani area with excavations at Piazza Vittorio and Piazza Dante). I supplement this primary material with all the published specimens of Common Wares from late antique contexts of Rome located within the Aurelianic Walls. To counter the lack of available classifications of the locally/regionally produced vessels circulating in Rome in the study period, I developed a comprehensive typological classification system for these vessels to bring together all the information about their forms and types. From this, the spatial and chronological distribution of the Common Wares evidence across Rome is assessed, enabling new interpretations of this widespread ceramic class circulating during Late Antiquity and highlighting its value in displaying Rome’s economic and social evolution. Specific case studies are also explored that give insights into changing daily and eating habits. Overall, this study fills some of the substantial gaps in our understanding of the production, distribution and consumption of Common Wares in late and post-classical Rome and helps characterise better evolving contemporary economic and household strategies.
Supertransport by Superclimbing Dislocations in $^4$He: When All Dimensions Matter

description: The unique superflow-through-solid effect observed in solid Helium-4 and attributed to the quasi-one-dimensional superfluidity along the dislocation cores exhibits two extraordinary features: (i) an exponentially strong suppression of the flow by a moderate increase in pressure, and (ii) an unusual temperature dependence of the flow rate with no analogy to any known system and in contradiction with the standard Luttinger liquid paradigm. Based on ab initio and model simulations, we argue that the two features are closely related: Thermal fluctuations of the shape of a superclimbing edge dislocation induce large, correlated, and asymmetric stress fields acting on the superfluid core. The critical flux is most sensitive to strong rare fluctuations and hereby acquires a sharp temperature dependence observed in experiments.

Year: 2010

description: In this paper we will investigate which parameters are important for energy harvesting from raindrops through a piezo based sensor. We will make a chamber filled with fluid or gas and a membrane to cover the chamber. Then connect the piezo based pressure sensor to the chamber so we can register how much pressure/energy can be gained from a drop. Then we will investigate which parameters are important such as: the drop height, drop frequency, drop size and finally we will give an estimate on how much energy can be obtained from a drop.
