How far can you go ? Surprises and pitfalls in three-flavour chiral extrapolations
Creators: name: Descotes-Genon, S.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The presence of strange sea quark pairs may have a significant impact of the pattern of chiral symmetry breaking : in particular large differences can occur between the chiral limits of two and three massless flavours (i.e., whether $m_s$ is kept at its physical value or sent to zero). We recall some indications of such a scenario in QCD, in relation with the peculiar dynamics of the scalar sector. We explain how this could affect the convergence of three-flavour chiral series, commonly used to extrapolate the results of lattice simulations. Finally, we indicate how lattice simulations with three dynamical flavours could unveil such an effect through the quark-mass dependence of light meson masses and decay constants.

A3 Model in Hyperautomation, Autonomous AI, and Complex Systems Governance: A Contemporary Evaluation
Creators: name: Ananda Kumararajah, Vendan
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: Rapid advances in AI and automation since 2022 have produced highly complex, partly autonomous systems that strain traditional governance and ethical frameworks (Gardiner & Li, 2023). Hyperautomation – the aggressive automation of as many processes as possible using AI, robotic process automation (RPA), and other tools – promises efficiency but brings opaque interdependencies and governance risks (Hoffman, 2024; Srivastava et al., 2022). Autonomous AI agents (from self-driving cars to decision-making algorithms) operate with minimal human oversight, raising concerns about alignment with human values, bias, and accountability (Acharya et al., 2025; Koenig & Patil, 2023). Meanwhile, complex systems governance (CSG) challenges (e.g., climate change responses, global digital networks) highlight the difficulty of steering distributed, unpredictable systems with traditional top-down controls (Centeno et al., 2024).
title: Characterization of Esterases and Glutathione S-Transferases in a Solitary Bee, Megachile rotundata (Fab.): Variability, Developmental Multiplicity, Substrate Specificity, and Inhibition
Creators: name: Frohlich, Donald R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1988

description: The esterases and glutathione S-transferases of a solitary bee, Meqachile rotundata (Fab.) (Hymenoptera: Megachilidae), the alfalfa leafcutting bee, were characterized by electrophoresis, substrate specificity, and inhibition studies. Comparisons were made between ages, sexes, and life stages for several classes of substrates and their isomers: aromatic, aliphatic, and thio-esters. Two esterases were found to be allozymes and variable between individuals and sexes. Adults typically possess an esterase that hydrolyzes fluorescent substrates, an organophosphate insensitive esterase, and a series of type 'B' esterases that are very sensitive to organophosphate inhibition. Electrophoretic patterns are different between adults and immatures and are probably related to differences in niche. Differences in substrate specificities, electrophoretic forms, and activities between the sexes is likely a function of reproduction and the fact that females are solely responsible for nest construction. Esterases not only function in detoxication but may have a raison d'etre in various aspects of nest, cell, and cocoon construction. Both esterase and glutathione S-transferase activity decrease with age, but decreases in male activity are significantly greater than in females. Km and Vmax were determined for p-nitrophenylacetate using a mixture of female esterases, and the inhibition constants and mechanisms were determined for four organophosphorus compounds. Their toxicities, ranging from greatest to least, were naled > paraoxon > trichlorfon > oxydemeton methyl. Glutathione S-transferase activity was also assayed over a range of natural product inhibitors (chalcones, flavones) and an herbicide (tridiphane). The alfalfa leafcutting bee is a better detoxifier than the honey bee, but how it, or any other pollinator, fits into plant allelochemic - insect herbivore theory is unclear.

description: With the increased dependence on online learning platforms and educational resource repositories, a unified representation of digital learning resources becomes essential to support a dynamic and multi-source learning experience. We introduce the EduCOR ontology, an educational, career-oriented ontology that provides a foundation for representing online learning resources for personalised learning systems. The ontology is designed to enable learning material repositories to offer learning path recommendations, which correspond to the user's learning goals, academic and psychological parameters, and the labour-market skills. We present the multiple patterns that compose the EduCOR ontology, highlighting its cross-domain applicability and integrability with other ontologies. A demonstration of the proposed ontology on the real-life learning platform eDoer is discussed as a use-case. We evaluate the EduCOR ontology using both gold standard and task-based approaches. The comparison of EduCOR to three gold schemata, and its application in two use-cases, shows its coverage and adaptability to multiple OER repositories, which allows generating user-centric and labour-market oriented recommendations.

description: We give a new combinatorial interpretation of Howe dual pairs of the form $(\g,{\rm Sp}_{2\ell})$, where $\g$ is a Lie (super)algebra of classical type. This is done by establishing a symplectic analogue of the RSK algorithm associated to this pair, in a uniform way which does not depend on $\g$. We introduce an analogue of jeu de taquin sliding for spinor model of irreducible characters of a Lie superalgebra $\g$ to define $P$-tableau and show that the associated $Q$-tableau is given by a symplectic tableau due to King.

Legal Changes during Joko Widodo’s Administration – Backsliding of Democracy?
Creators: name: Yuzuru, Shimada
Publisher: name: International Quarterly for Asian Studies
Year: 2024

description: This paper provides an overview of the legislative landscape and its background under the Joko Widodo administration (2014–2024). The transition of presidential power from Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono to Joko Widodo marked the consolidation of democracy in post-authoritarian Indonesia, continuing from the pivotal reforms of 1998. The period of Widodo’s administration from 2014 to 2024 illustrates how free elections and freedom of expression, combined with advancements in IT technology, have inadvertently highlighted societal divisions, including discrimination against minorities. Beyond political evolution, the period has also witnessed emerging economic disparities within Indonesian society, as well as the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic during the latter half of the period. This paper focuses on major legislative initiatives during the Joko Widodo administration. It systematically examines the background, contents and pivotal discussions of these significant pieces of legislation, providing a comprehensive analysis of the legislative developments during this crucial decade in Indonesia. It goes on to argue that the legislative policies of the Widodo administration reflect a situation where the transition from authoritarianism to democratisation falls short of fully embodying constitutionalism, characterised by limits on executive power and respect for human rights.

Stationary vine copula models for multivariate time series

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Methodology (stat.ME)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Multivariate time series exhibit two types of dependence: across variables and across time points. Vine copulas are graphical models for the dependence and can conveniently capture both types of dependence in the same model. We derive the maximal class of graph structures that guarantee stationarity under a natural and verifiable condition called translation invariance. We propose computationally efficient methods for estimation, simulation, prediction, and uncertainty quantification and show their validity by asymptotic results and simulations. The theoretical results allow for misspecified models and, even when specialized to the iid case, go beyond what is available in the literature. Their proofs are based on new results for general semiparametric method-of-moment estimators, which shall be of independent interest. The new model class is illustrated by an application to forecasting returns of a portfolio of 20 stocks, where they show excellent forecast performance. The paper is accompanied by an open source software implementation.
Spiking the random matrix hard edge

Subjects: math.PR

description: © 2016, Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg. We characterize the limiting smallest eigenvalue distributions (or hard edge laws) for sample covariance type matrices drawn from a spiked population. In the case of a single spike, the results are valid in the context of the general β ensembles. For multiple spikes, the necessary construction restricts matters to real, complex or quaternion (β= 1 , 2 , or 4) ensembles. The limit laws are described in terms of random integral operators, and partial differential equations satisfied by the corresponding distribution functions are derived as corollaries. We also show that, under a natural limit, all spiked hard edge laws derived here degenerate to the critically spiked soft edge laws (or deformed Tracy–Widom laws). The latter were first described at β= 2 by Baik, Ben Arous, and Peché (Ann Probab 33:1643–1697, 2005), and from a unified β random operator point of view by Bloemendal and Virág (Probab Theory Relat Fields 156:795–825, 2013; Ann Probab arXiv:1109.3704, 2011).

description: The observational constraints on the baryon content of the WHIM rely almost entirely on FUV measurements. However, cosmological, hydrodynamical simulations predict strong correlations between the spatial distributions of FUV and X-ray absorbing WHIM. In this work we investigate this prediction by analyzing XMM-Newton X-ray counterparts of FUV-detected intergalactic OVI absorbers known from FUSE and HST/STIS data, and compare this information to the predictions of simulations. We study the X-ray absorption at the redshift of the only significantly detected OVI absorber in the TonS180 sightline's FUV spectrum, found at $z=0.04579\pm0.00001$. We characterize the spectral properties of the OVI-OVIII absorbers and explore the ionization processes behind the measured absorption. The observational results are compared to the predicted warm-hot gas properties in the EAGLE simulation to infer the physical conditions of the absorber. We detect both OVI and OVII absorption at a $5σ$ confidence level, whereas OVIII absorption is not detected. CIE modeling constrains the X-ray absorbing gas temperature to log$\,T_{CIE}$(K)$=6.22\pm0.05$ with a total hydrogen column density $N_H=5.8_{-2.2}^{+3.0}\times Z_{sun}/Z_{abs}\times10^{19}$ cm$^{-2}$. This model predicts an OVI column density consistent with that measured in the FUV, but our limits on the OVI line width indicate >90 % likelihood that the FUV-detected OVI arises from a different, cooler phase. We find that the observed absorber lies about a factor of two further away from the detected galaxies than is the case for similar systems in EAGLE. Understanding the abundance of the systems similar to the one considered in this work helps to define the landscape for WHIM searches with future X-ray telescopes.

description: The aim of this thesis was to investigate the genetic components of maternal infanticide in the domestic pig (Sus scrofa). The killing of piglets by sows by eating them soon after birth is a significant issue for the pig breeding industry because of the impact on animal welfare and the cost in lost revenues. There is evidence that part of this behavior has a genetic basis and this work aims at finding the genes and genome regions linked to this trait. This study focuses on animals from four different breed lines; two have around a 5% incidence of infanticide and two have around a 10% incidence of infanticide. The first half of this work used a genotyping approach using the pig 60K SNP array from Illumina. Two different tests were used to analyse the data: Family Based Association Test (FBAT) and Parent of Origin (PO) test. The FBAT approach uses pedigree information to test for association in the presence of linkage and the PO approach tests for preferential transmission of allele from one parent (this study focused on maternal transmission). The results from the tests, along with previous results generated by our group, were used to design three sequence capture sets in order to study these regions in more detail. The sequencing work was done on a selection of animals grouped in pools, for each line two pools of infanticide animals were selected: animals with an history of infanticide in the pedigree and animals with multiple instances of infanticide. Once sequencing was completed, variants were called on the region of interest, for each pool and the different capture sets, using the Genome Analysis Tool Kit. The variant allele frequencies in the pool was compared between control pools and infanticide pools to select target variants. Some of the variants identified are interesting targets and identify genes of interests.

description: The problem of non-solvable contractions of Lie algebras is analyzed. By means of a stability theorem, the problem is shown to be deeply related to the embeddings among semisimple Lie algebras and the resulting branching rules for representations. With this procedure, we determine all deformations of indecomposable Lie algebras having a nontrivial Levi decomposition onto semisimple Lie algebras of dimension $n\leq 8$, and obtain the non-solvable contractions of the latter class of algebras.

title: Characterization of Chemical and Radiation-Induced DNA Damage in the MDBK Cell Culture System
Creators: name: Hincks, Jeffrey R.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1988

description: A mechanism common to many carcinogens and mutagens is the interaction with cellular DNA. Alkaline elution is a sensitive and commonly used technique to detect cellular DNA damage in the form of DNA single-strand breaks (SSB), DNA-protein cross-links (DPC), and DNA interstrand cross-links (ISC). In the present study, gravity-flow alkaline elution was developed and validated to rapidly detect DNA damage in the MDBK cell culture system by genotoxic agents.
The system was first validated by detecting a dose dependent induction of DNA SSB in cells exposed to 25-1500 rad of X-ray. The assay reliably detected the DNA damage of seven genotoxic carcinogens and showed no detectable DNA damage in six non-genotoxic compounds.
Gravity-flow alkaline elution was then used to detect the induction of DNA SSB and subsequent repair in cells exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight, suntan booth, or germicidal lamp (254 nm). The induction of DNA SSB was dose-dependent for all three exposure systems. Repair of sunlight and suntan induced DNA SSB were similar, whereas cells exposed to 254 nm UV did not show any repair. Repair studies using the DNA repair inhibitors 1-B-D-arabinofuranosylcytosine and hydroxyurea indicated DNA excision repair was involved. The mechanisms underlying UV induced DNA damage and repair appear similar for both sunlight and suntan booth, but different than 254 nm UV.
The gravity-flow system was modified to rapidly detect DNA cross-links in MDBK cells exposed the cross-linking agents, nitrogen mustard, mitomycin C, and 254 nm UV radiation. Both drugs induced DPC and ISC whereas UV radiation induced protein-associated DNA strand breaks.
The gravity-flow system was used to characterize the DNA damage in cells exposed to seven pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs). Five of the PAs induced both DPC and ISC, while heliosupine induced only DPC, retronecine induced no cross-links, and none of the PAs induced DNA SSB. Since these PAs differ only in the extent of substitution of the diester side chain, these results indicate that these substituents are an important determinant in the induction of DNA damage by pyrrolizidine alkaloids.

description: Part of a collection of correspondence from Kathleen Raine to Robin Skelton. Skelton was a British poet, academic, anthologist, and practicing Wiccan. He taught at Manchester University before emigrating to Canada in 1963, where he taught creative writing at the University of Victoria and started the literary magazine The Malahat Review. Also included are some letters to Skelton’s wife Sylvia, and his daughters. Spanning close to forty-five years, the correspondence discusses poetry, writing, and philosophy; particularly Platonism and Neoplatonism. Raine often refers to the writings of William Blake and W. B. Yeats. Many letters also mention contemporary literary figures at the time including: Herbert Read, Peter Russell, Liam Miller, and Thurairajah Tambimuttu. In this letter, Raine writes about the passing of Herbert Read.

description: We report electrical transport measurements on GaAs/AlGaAs based electron-hole bilayers. These systems are expected to make a transition from a pair of weakly coupled two-dimensional systems to a strongly coupled exciton system as the barrier between the layers is reduced. Once excitons form, phenomena such as Bose-Einstein condensation of excitons could be observed. In our devices, electrons and holes are confined in double quantum wells, and carriers in the devices are induced with top and bottom gates leading to variable density in each layer. Separate contact to each layer allows Coulomb drag transport measurements where current is driven in one layer while voltage is measured in the other. Coulomb drag is sensitive to interlayer coupling and has been predicted to provide a strong signature of exciton condensation. Drag measurement on EHBLs with a 30 nm barrier are consistent with drag between two weakly coupled 2D Fermi systems where the drag decreases as the temperature is reduced. When the barrier is reduced to 20 nm, we observe a consistent increase in the drag resistance as the temperature is reduced. These results indicate the onset of a much stronger coupling between the electrons and holes which leads to exciton formation and possibly phenomena related to exciton condensation.

social media

description: As social media sites such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and Snapchat become more pervasive, we see more people sharing photos of experiences and updating friends on life events through digital platforms. Despite this increased presence of social media in our lives, little research has been published on the effects that social media photography can have on people. A particular area of concern is how this photography affects our minds. With this project, I explore how social media photography, posting, and reviewing of photos affect memory. I synthesize the results of many peer-reviewed articles published since 2005 that study the effects of social media photography on memory, and I suggest some best practices for people to use when engaging with social media in order to avoid hampering memory. Based on this literature review, I propose future work in the field that may help us better understand the complex and wide-ranging effects of social media—and images in particular—on our memories. Results have shown that specific processes seen in social media photography have interesting effects on memory. One of these processes is cognitive offloading, which occurs when a person does not have to store information in their own memory because it is reliably stored somewhere else, such as in a photograph. Distraction also plays a large role in affecting memory, as one’s emotions, circumstances, and method of photography can all distract from the present experience. New findings show that point-of-view changes memory as we are adopting a third-person perspective in memories due to social media photography instead of the traditional first-person view because of our obsession with self-presentation. The complicated interactions between these processes and their effects reveal that some social media practices can improve memory of events, while many others are detrimental to memory formation.

description: In this chapter, we provide an overview of Turkish Discourse Bank, a resource of ∼∼400,000 words built on a sub-corpus of the 2-million-word METU Turkish Corpus annotated following the principles of Penn Discourse Tree Bank. We first present the annotation framework we adopted, explaining how it differs from the annotation of the original language, English. Then we focus on a novel annotation procedure that we have devised and named pair annotation after pair programming. We discuss the advantages it has offered as well as its potential drawbacks.

description: © 2016 American Physical Society. We evaluate the light, strange, and charm scalar content of the nucleon using one lattice QCD ensemble generated with two degenerate light quarks with mass fixed to their physical value. We use improved techniques to evaluate the disconnected quark loops to sufficient accuracy to determine the strange and charm nucleon σ terms in addition to the light quark content σπN. We find σπN=37.2(2.6)(4.72.9) MeV, σs=41.1(8.2)(7.85.8) MeV, and σc=79(21)(128) MeV, where the first error is statistical and the second is the systematic error due to the determination of the lattice spacing, the assessment of finite volume, and residual excited state effects.

description: In this paper we systematically study a five-parameters class of spherically symmetric polymer black/white hole solutions, and find that only three independent combinations are physical and uniquely determine the spacetime properties. After exploring the whole 3-dimensional (3D) phase space, we find that the model has very rich physics, and depending on the choice of these parameters, various possibilities exist, including: (i) spacetimes that have the standard black/white hole structures, that is, spacetimes that are free of spacetime curvature singularities and possess two asymptotically flat regions, which are connected by a transition surface (throat) with a finite and non-zero geometric radius. The black/white hole masses measured by observers in the two asymptotically flat regions are all positive, and the surface gravity of the black (white) hole is positive (negative). (ii) Spacetimes that have wormhole-like structures, in which the two masses are all positive, but no horizons exist.(iii) Spacetimes that still possess curvature singularities, which can be either hidden inside trapped regions or naked. However, such spacetimes correspond to only some limit cases, and the necessary (but not sufficient) condition is that at least one of the two "polymerization" parameters vanishes. In addition, even for solar mass black/white holes, quantum gravitational effects can be still very large at the black/white hole horizons, again depending on the choice of the parameters.

description: Let ${n_k}$ be an increasing lacunary sequence, i.e., $n_{k+1}/n_k>1+r$ for some $r>0$. In 1987, P. Erdos asked for the chromatic number of a graph $G$ on the integers, where two integers $a,b$ are connected by an edge iff their difference $|a-b|$ is in the sequence ${n_k}$. Y. Katznelson found a connection to a Diophantine approximation problem (also due to Erdos): the existence of $x$ in $(0,1)$ such that all the multiples $n_j x$ are at least distance $δ(x)>0$ from the set of integers. Katznelson bounded the chromatic number of $G$ by $Cr^{-2}|\log r|$. We apply the Lovász local lemma to establish that $δ(x)>cr|\log r|^{-1}$ for some $x$, which implies that the chromatic number of $G$ is at most $Cr^{-1} |\log r|$. This is sharp up to the logarithmic factor.

description: The study of the γ*N→Δ reaction presents the best quantitative method to explore the deviation of hadron shapes from spherical symmetry (nonspherical amplitudes). Significant non-spherical electric (E2) and Coulomb quadrupole (C2) amplitudes have been observed with good precision as a function of Q2 from photon point up to ≈ 7 (GeV/c)2. Quark model calculations for these quadrupole amplitudes are at least an order of magnitude too small and even have the wrong sign. Lattice QCD, chiral effective field theory, and dynamic model calculations which include the effects of the pion-cloud are in approximate agreement with experiment. © 2013 AIP Publishing LLC.

description: The data provided here is the starting and final coordinate files of the 100 ns and 200 ns simulations in form of GRO files. They are readable with VMD and other molecular visualisation software.The input parameters for simulating these peptides are described in detail in the paper "Reshaping the discovery of self-assembling peptides with generative AI guided by hybrid deep learning", in the Methods section.The figures from the paper that use these simulations are as follows:
Figure 6 c) and d) used centred versions of files FMGIIF_c_0ns, FMGIIF_c_200, FATAAGGNNF_c_0ns, and FATAAGGNNF_c_200. The centred files are also added into a separate file Figure_6cd_GRO_files.Figure S1.8 c) and d) use all files in the "High SA propensity peptides" folder except FMGIIF and FATAAGGNNF and uses the same peptides from the "100 ns simulations" folder.Figure S1.9 uses the decapeptides present in the "Low SA propensity peptides" folder.
Figure S1.10 uses the hexapeptides present in the "Low SA propensity peptides" folder.

The data present in the paper was drawn from the exact simulations present in these folders. The main data was derived from the 200 ns simulations, while the 100 ns simulations were compared to the 200 ns ones in figure S1.8 a) and b).
title: Comparison of Microbial Activity in Desert Soils of the Western United States
Creators: name: Trujillo y Fulgham, Patricia Ann
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1978

description: Soils from four regional deserts, Great Basin, Sonoran, Chihuahuan, and Mojave, were collected at times throughout the year which would best exhibit microbial response to moisture or vegetation. The soils were analyzed for several chemical and physical properties. Biological and biochemical characteristics, namely respiration, dehydrogenase activity, adenosine triphosphate concentration, proteolytic activity, nitrification potential, and microbial numbers, were measured.
The soils exhibited fluctuations in microbial activity as measured by respiration, dehydrogenase activity, adenosine triphosphate concentration, proteolytic activity, and nitrification potential during different moisture seasons.
Increase in soil moisture as modified by precipitation did not cause a significant difference in respiration or proteolysis between desert soils, however, an increase in moisture did cause a significant difference in nitrification potential of desert soils. Proteolytic activity was highest in soils collected when above-ground portions of desert plants were dormant.
Low nitrification potential of desert soils was found. Nitrite accumulation in perfusion experiments but not in the field was observed.
Respiration, dehydrogenase activity and adenosine triphosphate concentration did not respond proportionally in desert soils adjusted to different moisture levels. These results suggest that respiration, dehydrogenase activity and ATP concentration each appear to represent a different phase of microbial metabolism in desert soils.

description: Objective: To analyze patient-reported swallowing difficulties, healthcare resource utilization and associated costs during the PROCLAIM study. Methods: Patients with stage III non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer received pemetrexed-cisplatin (PemCis) combined with concurrent thoracic radiotherapy followed by consolidation pemetrexed, or concurrent chemoradiotherapy with etoposide-cisplatin (EtoCis) followed by standard consolidation chemotherapy. Patient - reported swallowing function was measured using diaries. Resource utilization (hospitalizations, transfusions, concomitant medications) was compared between treatment arms using Fisher’s exact test and independent t-test. Medical resource use costs were analyzed using nonparametric Wilcoxon rank sum test. Results: Patient-reported difficulty in swallowing function (diary score ≥4) was 33.8% in the PemCis arm and 29% in the EtoCis arm. Overall resource use, including hospitalizations, was similar between treatment arms; however, fewer patients in the PemCis arm received transfusions and selected concomitant medications. Concurrent phase analyses were consistent with the overall study. A significantly lower percentage of patients (31.1% vs. 40.8%) were hospitalized in the PemCis arm. Total costs were significantly higher in the PemCis arm. Other medical costs (excluding study treatment costs) during the concurrent phase were lower for patients in the PemCis arm, due to significantly lower hospitalization costs and lower use of concomitant medications. Subgroup analysis yielded similar results. Conclusions: Patient-reported difficulty in swallowing post-baseline and resource utilization were consistent with previously reported safety outcomes. In the overall study, higher total costs for PemCis were driven by study drug cost. When adjusting for treatment duration, other monthly medical costs were favorable to PemCis. Patients on pemetrexed remained longer on therapy, suggesting better tolerability. ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00686959.
Leveraging Game Mechanics for Dynamic Music Co-Creation
Creators: name: Escarce Junior, Mario
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2025

description: This thesis explores game mechanics for creating coherent artworks, with a
 specific focus on music composition. The investigation spans three
 interconnected areas of partially-autonomous and autonomous systems:
 implicit cooperation, meta-interactivity, and autonomous generation. The
 main research question is: How do different degrees of human-machine
 collaboration, ranging from implicit cooperation to meta-interactivity and
 machine autonomy, impact the quality, user experience, and aesthetic
 attributes of music created within virtual environments?

 The thesis begins by exploring co-creativity within games through an
 algorithm fostering unwitting cooperation between humans and gameplay
 mechanics, termed implicit cooperation. This approach enables cooperative
 music emergence, fostering engaging artistic collaborations and pleasant
 musical experiences.

 Next, it introduces meta-interactivity for music creation, empowering
 novices to achieve unexpected outcomes in composition and practice. Using
 imagetic elements in a virtual environment, this approach converts ludic
 interactions into music. A user study involving experts and novices
 highlights its potential to unlock creativity in individuals with limited
 musical training, while also prompting questions about the role of human
 sentiment and expressivity in dynamic artistic creation.

 Lastly, this thesis presents an autonomous system for dynamically
 generating immersive soundscapes for games and artistic installations.
 This system simultaneously produces music and images, preserving human
 intent and coherence. An algorithm for audiovisual instance generation
 demonstrates its effectiveness compared to alternatives.

 Through these explorations, this thesis sheds light on the evolving
 landscape of music co-creation, proposing novel interactive experiences
 based on game mechanics. It aims to contribute to the ongoing debate on
 the collaborative potential between humans and autonomous systems, with a
 specific emphasis on their transformative influence within the domains of
 music and games. By examining the impact of partially and fully autonomous
 systems on human sentiment, this research offers insights into the
 evolving relationship between humans and technology, as well as the
 intricate interplay between music and imagery in audiovisual works,
 presenting promising avenues for future research and innovation in this
 domain.

description: Angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy with low-energy tunable photons along the nodal direction of oxygen isotope substituted Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8+delta reveals a distinct oxygen isotope shift near the electron-boson coupling "kink" in the electronic dispersion. The magnitude (a few meV) and direction of the kink shift are as expected due to the measured isotopic shift of phonon frequency, which are also in agreement with theoretical expectations. This demonstrates the participation of the phonons as dominant players, as well as pinpointing the most relevant of the phonon branches.

description: © 2016, University of Michigan. All rights reserved. We study the number of distinct ways in which a smooth projective surface X can be realized as a smooth toroidal compactification of a ball quotient. It follows from work of Hirzebruch that there are infinitely many distinct ball quotients with birational smooth toroidal compactifications. We take this to its natural extreme by constructing arbitrarily large families of distinct ball quotients with biholomorphic smooth toroidal compactifications.

description: As artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms become increasingly prevalent in society, multiple stakeholders are calling for these algorithms to provide explanations. At the same time, these stakeholders, whether they be affected citizens, government regulators, domain experts, or system developers, have different explanation needs. To address these needs, in 2019, we created AI Explainability 360 (Arya et al. 2020), an open source software toolkit featuring ten diverse and state-of-the-art explainability methods and two evaluation metrics. This paper examines the impact of the toolkit with several case studies, statistics, and community feedback. The different ways in which users have experienced AI Explainability 360 have resulted in multiple types of impact and improvements in multiple metrics, highlighted by the adoption of the toolkit by the independent LF AI & Data Foundation. The paper also describes the flexible design of the toolkit, examples of its use, and the significant educational material and documentation available to its users.

Hyperbolic polynomials and rigid moduli orders

description: A hyperbolic polynomial (HP) is a real univariate polynomial with all roots real. By Descartes' rule of signs a HP with all coefficients nonvanishing has exactly $c$ positive and exactly $p$ negative roots counted with multiplicity, where $c$ and $p$ are the numbers of sign changes and sign preservations in the sequence of its coefficients. We consider HPs with distinct moduli of the roots. We ask the question when the order of the moduli of the negative roots w.r.t. the positive roots on the real positive half-line completely determines the signs of the coefficients of the polynomial. When there is at least one positive and at least one negative root this is possible exactly when the moduli of the negative roots interlace with the positive roots (hence half or about half of the roots are positive). In this case the signs of the coefficients of the HP are either $(+,+,-,-,+,+,-,-,\ldots )$ or $(+,-,-,+,+,-,-,+,\ldots )$.
