title: Mission through journalism: Elizabeth Hayes and the Annals of Our Lady of the Angels
Creators: name: Shaw, Pauline
Publisher: name: Australian Catholic University
Year: 2006

description: "Nineteenth-century periodical literature, recognised today as a distinctive and significant feature of Victorian public communication, is voluminous. Yet in order to argue that the editor-publisher Elizabeth Hayes made a significant contribution to evangelising journalism, this thesis finds it imperative to situate her work within the enormous outpourings of the Victorian periodical press. For a Victorian woman to succeed in journalism was impressive and this investigation argues that Hayes capably led an international journal of religious ideas to stability and longevity. The investigation will show that Hayes, foundress of an organisation which edited, published and distributed a Franciscan monthly journal - to date scarcely investigated- was prepared prior to 1872 for her subsequent journalistic mission. The argument that Hayes made a significant contribution to nineteenth-century Catholic journalism appears strongest when evidence of the immense power of the press for good and evil is provided. This is accomplished hopefully though an examination of both secular and religious periodical literature and in particular by situating Hayes’ output within this milieu. The argument is further strengthened through a detailed examination of the actual contents of Hayes’ Annals of Our Lady of the Angels, of the numerous contributions to her Annals and of the editing, publishing and distribution methods which she employed in her mission. The argument shows Hayes’ publication to be a significant contribution in the literary field to a growing body of research on late nineteenth-century professional women who enriched society with religious periodicals. The thesis argues that Hayes provided matter of interest to general readers and presented the progress and development of the Franciscan Order. The journal’s range of themes adds weight to the growing body of evidence of how women’s topics varied in the Victorian religious periodical press. It is argued that Hayes’ diffusion of good literature was an authentic medium of evangelisation over twenty-one years. As writer, editor, publisher, manager of printing and distribution, it is argued that Hayes was a significant contributor to the Apostolate of the Press and that she used her journal as a tool of both adult education and entertainment."

A generative framework for conversational laughter: Its 'language model' and laughter sound synthesis

description: As the phonetic and acoustic manifestations of laughter in conversation are highly diverse, laughter synthesis should be capable of accommodating such diversity while maintaining high controllability. This paper proposes a generative model of laughter in conversation that can produce a wide variety of laughter by utilizing the emotion dimension as a conversational context. The model comprises two parts: the laughter "phones generator," which generates various, but realistic, combinations of laughter components for a given speaker ID and emotional state, and the laughter "sound synthesizer," which receives the laughter phone sequence and produces acoustic features that reflect the speaker's individuality and emotional state. The results of a listening experiment indicated that conditioning both the phones generator and the sound synthesizer on emotion dimensions resulted in the most effective control of the perceived emotion in synthesized laughter.

Computational study of topological line defects in graphite
Creators: name: Mouratidis, Pavlos
Publisher: name: Loughborough University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Other chemical sciences not elsewhere classified

description: The major motivation of this study is the development of understanding of line defect behaviour such as dislocations and ripplocations in nuclear graphite. Synthetic graphite is a suitable material in the nuclear industry due to its desirable physical properties, such as low neutron absorption cross-section and high scattering cross-section. Its main use is to moderate highly energetic fission neutrons in nuclear reactors. Neutron flux in irradiated synthetic graphite results in the formation of topological line defects such as dislocations and causes severe dimensional changes. Mutual interactions and pile-ups of basal dislocations can give rise to the formation of bulk ripplocations, such as the ruck and tuck defects. Both dislocations and ripplocations constitute an excess of material to a perfect graphite crystal, where dislocations accommodate the strain energy in-plane by creating stacking faults, yet ripplocations release the strain energy out-of-plane by buckling and delamination. In this thesis, first principles and molecular dynamics methods have been employed to study the physical properties of these type of defects. Perfect basal dislocations and their corresponding dissociated partial dislocations have been studied in bilayer graphene ribbons. Dislocated supercells of 100s of nanometres in length along the zigzag and armchair directions have been optimised for both flat and buckled configurations. Formation energies and dislocation core widths have been extracted from the atomic disregistry and the Burgers vector distribution. Pile-up of basal partial edge dislocations illustrates a potential atomistic mechanism of the ruck and tuck defect formation. Transition energy barrier calculations have revealed that partial edge dislocations are highly mobile and readily could pile-up to form the ruck and tuck defect. Surface and bulk ripplocations have been studied in bilayer, multilayer graphite and several other layered materials. A classical analytical approach has been used to obtain the expressions for the energetic and structural scaling factors of surface ripplocations. Simulations of supercells containing surface ripplocations have demonstrated a good agreement between the two approaches. In bulk graphite, simulations of ripplocations show that the lowest energy structure of basal dislocations pile-up is the ruck and tuck defect. However, multilayer dislocations pile-ups exhibit buckling and delamination by creating voids. As a conclusion, a progressive basal dislocation pile-up and rippling of graphene layers is another important contributing mechanism for the strain induced dimensional change of synthetic graphite caused by neutron irradiation.

description: We present a smorgasbord of results on the stabiliser ZX-calculus for odd prime-dimensional qudits (i.e. qupits). We derive a simplified rule set that closely resembles the original rules of qubit ZX-calculus. Using these rules, we demonstrate analogues of the spider-removing local complementation and pivoting rules. This allows for efficient reduction of diagrams to the affine with phases normal form. We also demonstrate a reduction to a unique form, providing an alternative and simpler proof of completeness. Furthermore, we introduce a different reduction to the graph state with local Cliffords normal form, which leads to a novel layered decomposition for qupit Clifford unitaries. Additionally, we propose a new approach to handle scalars formally, closely reflecting their practical usage. Finally, we have implemented many of these findings in DiZX, a new open-source Python library for qudit ZX-diagrammatic reasoning.

description: We study analytically and by event-driven molecular dynamics simulations the nonergodic and aging properties of force-free cooling granular gases with both constant and velocity-dependent (viscoelastic) restitution coefficient $\varepsilon$ for particle pair collisions. We compare the granular gas dynamics with an effective single particle stochastic model based on an underdamped Langevin equation with time dependent diffusivity. We find that both models share the same behavior of the ensemble mean squared displacement (MSD) and the velocity correlations in the small dissipation limit. However, we reveal that the time averaged MSD of granular gas particles significantly differs from this effective model due to ballistic correlations for systems with constant $\varepsilon$. For velocity-dependent $\varepsilon$ these corrections become weaker at longer times. Qualitatively the reported non-ergodic behavior is generic for granular gases with any realistic dependence of $\varepsilon$ on the impact velocity.

THAT CAN OF WORMS: INDIVIDUAL RESPONSIBILITY AND PARENTAL PARTIALITY
Creators: name: Salzberger, Macy
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: What should the egalitarian parent do when acting partially toward their child creates or perpetuates inequality? How do we compare the value of goods realized through parent-child relationships to the goods of equality? In this paper, I hope to expand on Brighouse and Swift’s account of family relationship goods and legitimate and excessive partiality by offering an account of how to weigh the value of family relationship goods against the goods of equality. I suggest three standards from which a parent can judge whether or not her acts of partiality are legitimate: the meaningfulness standard, the adequacy standard, and the reasonableness standard. Through these standards, I hope to illuminate what family relationship goods are required or permitted through appeal to parental obligations, living a meaningful life, and public justification.

description: Let G be a reductive group over the field F=k((t)), where k is an algebraic closure of a finite field, and let W be the (extended) affine Weyl group of G. The associated affine Deligne-Lusztig varieties $X_x(b)$, which are indexed by elements b in G(F) and x in W, were introduced by Rapoport. Basic questions about the varieties $X_x(b)$ which have remained largely open include when they are nonempty, and if nonempty, their dimension. We use techniques inspired by geometric group theory and representation theory to address these questions in the case that b is a pure translation, and so prove much of a sharpened version of Conjecture 9.5.1 of Görtz, Haines, Kottwitz, and Reuman. Our approach is constructive and type-free, sheds new light on the reasons for existing results in the case that b is basic, and reveals new patterns. Since we work only in the standard apartment of the building for G(F), our results also hold in the p-adic context, where we formulate a definition of the dimension of a p-adic Deligne-Lusztig set. We present two immediate consequences of our main results, to class polynomials of affine Hecke algebras and to affine reflection length.

Developing seedless autotetraploid grapevines using mitogens and contrasting resulting transcriptome profiles
Creators: name: Milburn, Matthew Steven
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2023

description: Vitis vinifera subs. vinifera, known as the common grapevine, is a staple of agricultural, being one of the top produced and consumed fruit species globally. The table grape industry faces numerous challenges every growing season, such as climate change induced seasonal variation and over abundant berry set. These challenges require the implementation of costly corrective measures, such as increased field labor and application of pesticides. One method that plant breeders have exploited in order to better adapt diploid species to various biotic and abiotic challenges is to induce polyploidization. Polyploidy has been linked to numerous traits of interest for table grape producers, such as decreased berry set and enlarged fruit size. Polyploidization is commonly induced by the application of mitogens, such as colchicine and oryzalin. The main objectives of this study were to 1.) develop a seedless autotetraploid grapevine population with the use of the mitogens colchicine and oryzalin, 2.) conduct a transcriptome profile analysis to uncover differentially expressed genes (DEGs) found when comparing any newly created autotetraploids to their diploid progenitor, 3.) assign DEGs Gene Ontology (GO) terms to conduct gene enrichment analyses, and 4.) quantify DEGs of interest through a reverse transcription-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) analysis.In this study, a commercial seedless table grape variety, ‘Blanc Seedless,’ was selected as our target for autotetraploidy induction. Mitogen treated samples were analyzed for ploidy level using flow cytometry. One autotetraploid was successfully developed, due to the treatment of shoot apical meristem (SAM) explant material with colchicine at a rate of 0.02% w/v. A transcriptome profile analysis was performed, comparing gene expression levels for three separate cultivars: the newly created autotetraploid, 18-4x; the diploid progenitor, BL; and a previous isolated tetraploid control, GN-12. Up-regulated DEGs present in 18-4x along with shared down-regulated DEGs between 18-4x and GN-12 were used in GO enrichment analyses. Up-regulated DEGs found in 18-4x were grouped into biological functions such as plant metabolism, photosynthesis, carbon fixation. Shared down-regulated DEGs were disjointed, being tied to various biological processes, molecular functions, and cellular components. 10 up-regulated DEGs were selected for RT-qPCR analysis, 6 of which were successfully quantified by calculating their relative quantification levels.

description: We describe the experience with courses that teach the Foundations of Cyber-physical Systems (CPS) and methods for ensuring the correctness of CPS designs. CPSs combine cyber effects (computation & communication) with physical effects (motion or other physical processes). CPS represent a paradigm shift that transcends the separation of computer science, which traditionally focuses on computation & communication isolated from the physical world, versus engineering and physics, which traditionally focus more on physical effects than on software intensive solutions. CPS are a unique challenge and unique opportunity for education. They challenge, because of their mathematical demand and interdisciplinary nature. CPS are an opportunity, because students learn important insights about the interface with other areas and develop a deeper understanding about the principles that make cyber and physical aspects work together. The course addresses the challenges of designing CPS that people can bet their lives on by emphasizing CPS contracts.

description: Performing experiments with human-robot interfaces often requires the allocation of expensive and complex hardware and large physical spaces. Those costs constrain development and research to the currently affordable resources, and they retard the testing-andredevelopment cycle. In order to explore research free from mundane allocation constraints and speed-up our platform development cycle, we have developed a platform for research of multi-human-robot spoken dialog in coherent real and virtual spaces. We describe the system, and speculate on how it will further research in this domain.
Doing Boundary Work as an "Inclusive" Group: A Qualitative Study of a Liberal Congregation

description: In doing boundary work, members of a group solidify their own identity by comparing themselves against an ‘out-group’ representing who they are not, but what happens when a group claims an “inclusive” identity? Drawing on 26 in-depth interviews and a year of participant observation at a liberal, Protestant congregation, this paper explores how church members develop three strategies for boundary work that exclude religious conservatives (the out-group) without challenging the congregation’s claim to “inclusivity.” First, they refer to the out-group in vague terms to avoid explicitly naming who is excluded; second, they emphasize what works for them spiritually rather than criticizing other religious traditions; finally, they construct favorable comparisons between their church and others. Ultimately I show that this tension between boundary work and the claim to inclusivity leads to the reproduction of inequality, as church members value seeing ‘both sides’ over challenging racist, classist, and heterosexist beliefs and actions.
Two-Stage Document Length Normalization for Information Retrieval

description: The standard approach for term frequency normalization is based only on the document length. However, it does not distinguish the verbosity from the scope, these being the two main factors determining the document length. Because the verbosity and scope have largely different effects on the increase in term frequency, the standard approach can easily suffer from insufficient or excessive penalization depending on the specific type of long document. To overcome these problems, this paper proposes two-stage normalization by performing verbosity and scope normalization separately, and by employing different penalization functions. In verbosity normalization, each document is pre-normalized by dividing the term frequency by the verbosity of the document. In scope normalization, an existing retrieval model is applied in a straightforward manner to the pre-normalized document, finally leading us to formulate our proposed verbosity normalized (VN) retrieval model. Experimental results carried out on standard TREC collections demonstrate that the VN model leads to marginal but statistically significant improvements over standard retrieval models.

Year: 2023

description: We give a presentation by generators and relations of the group of 3-qubit Clifford+CS operators. The proof roughly consists of two parts: (1) applying the Reidemeister-Schreier theorem recursively to an earlier result of ours; and (2) the simplification of thousands of relations into 17 relations. Both (1) and (2) have been formally verified in the proof assistant Agda. The Reidemeister-Schreier theorem gives a constructive method for computing a presentation of a sub-monoid given a presentation of the super-monoid. To achieve (2), we devise an almost-normal form for Clifford+CS operators. Along the way, we also identify several interesting structures within the Clifford+CS group. Specifically, we identify three different finite subgroups for whose elements we can give unique normal forms. We show that the 3-qubit Clifford+CS group, which is of course infinite, is the amalgamated product of these three finite subgroups. This result is analogous to the fact that the 1-qubit Clifford+T group is an amalgamated product of two finite subgroups.

description: Recently, a physically realistic protocol amplifying the randomness of Santha-Vazirani sources producing cryptographically secure random bits was proposed; however for reasons of practical relevance, the crucial question remained open whether this can be accomplished under the minimal conditions necessary for the task. Namely, is it possible to achieve randomness amplification using only two no-signaling components and in a situation where the violation of a Bell inequality only guarantees that some outcomes of the device for specific inputs exhibit randomness? Here, we solve this question and present a device-independent protocol for randomness amplification of Santha-Vazirani sources using a device consisting of two non-signaling components. We show that the protocol can amplify any such source that is not fully deterministic into a fully random source while tolerating a constant noise rate and prove the composable security of the protocol against general no-signaling adversaries. Our main innovation is the proof that even the partial randomness certified by the two-party Bell test (a single input-output pair ($\textbf{u}^*, \textbf{x}^*$) for which the conditional probability $P(\textbf{x}^* | \textbf{u}^*)$ is bounded away from $1$ for all no-signaling strategies that optimally violate the Bell inequality) can be used for amplification. We introduce the methodology of a partial tomographic procedure on the empirical statistics obtained in the Bell test that ensures that the outputs constitute a linear min-entropy source of randomness. As a technical novelty that may be of independent interest, we prove that the Santha-Vazirani source satisfies an exponential concentration property given by a recently discovered generalized Chernoff bound.

description: Simulation speed matters for neuroscientific research: this includes not only how quickly the simulated model time of a large-scale spiking neuronal network progresses, but also how long it takes to instantiate the network model in computer memory. On the hardware side, acceleration via highly parallel GPUs is being increasingly utilized. On the software side, code generation approaches ensure highly optimized code, at the expense of repeated code regeneration and recompilation after modifications to the network model. Aiming for a greater flexibility with respect to iterative model changes, here we propose a new method for creating network connections interactively, dynamically, and directly in GPU memory through a set of commonly used high-level connection rules. We validate the simulation performance with both consumer and data center GPUs on two neuroscientifically relevant models: a cortical microcircuit of about 77,000 leaky-integrate-and-fire neuron models and 300 million static synapses, and a two-population network recurrently connected using a variety of connection rules. With our proposed ad hoc network instantiation, both network construction and simulation times are comparable or shorter than those obtained with other state-of-the-art simulation technologies, while still meeting the flexibility demands of explorative network modeling.

The effective equation method

Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)

description: In this chapter we present a general method of constructing the effective equation which describes the behaviour of small-amplitude solutions for a nonlinear PDE in finite volume, provided that the linear part of the equation is a hamiltonian system with a pure imaginary discrete spectrum. The effective equation is obtained by retaining only the resonant terms of the nonlinearity (which may be hamiltonian, or may be not); the assertion that it describes the limiting behaviour of small-amplitude solutions is a rigorous mathematical theorem. In particular, the method applies to the three-- and four--wave systems. We demonstrate that different possible types of energy transport are covered by this method, depending on whether the set of resonances splits into finite clusters (this happens, e.g. in case of the Charney-Hasegawa-Mima equation), or is connected (this happens, e.g. in the case of the NLS equation if the space-dimension is at least two). For equations of the first type the energy transition to high frequencies does not hold, while for equations of the second type it may take place. In the case of the NLS equation we use next some heuristic approximation from the arsenal of wave turbulence to show that under the iterated limit "the volume goes to infinity", taken after the limit "the amplitude of oscillations goes to zero", the energy spectrum of solutions for the effective equation is described by a Zakharov-type kinetic equation. Evoking the Zakharov ansatz we show that stationary in time and homogeneous in space solutions for the latter equation have a power law form. Our method applies to various weakly nonlinear wave systems, appearing in plasma, meteorology and oceanology.

description: This thesis traces Annie Dillard’s violent visions of nature through Pilgrim at Tinker Creek and Holy the Firm. Within the two books, Dillard iconoclastically shatters the capital-N image of Nature as peaceful, balanced, and patterned. In its place, she offers a portrait of nature as bloody and brutal, relentlessly burgeoning with ever-new forms of predation, parasitism, and death. The first half of this thesis explores Dillard’s depiction of the violence underpinning the natural world. The second half goes on to examine her insistence that God exists within this violence rather than in spite of it. Staring at nature’s violence head-on and urging her readers to do the same, Dillard brings a radically new set of theological questions into the broad tradition of American nature writing. Ultimately, she allows herself to linger and dwell in the dissonant space between the violent realities of nature and any notions of a scrutable God.

description: Arbeitsteilung und Kooperation sind essentielle Bestandteile von Landwirtschaft, die sich im Laufe der Geschichte stetig weiterentwickelt haben. Nun ermöglicht die voranschreitende Digitalisierung in der Landwirtschaft erneut Innovationen und neue Arten der Kooperation. Moderne Dienstleistungen – wie optimierte Logistik oder umweltschonende Bewirtschaftung – verbinden zunehmend Maschinenleistungen und Datendienste zu untrennbaren Hybriden Services. Im Zuge dessen werden detaillierte Vereinbarungen bezüglich der bereitzustellenden betrieblichen Daten sowie der Verwendung der während der Dienstleistung erhobenen Messwerte getroffen. Im Rahmen des Projektes HyServ werden Servicekonzepte und Schnittstellen entwickelt, welche es den Akteuren erlauben, die Hoheit über die eigenen Daten zu behalten und dennoch kooperative Dienstleistungsverträge zu erstellen. Zu diesem Zweck werden de-zentrale Strukturen mit kryptographisch gesichertem Austausch etabliert, welche als Infrastruktur für orchestrierte Micro-Services und Smart Contracts dienen.

description: A $k$-weak bisection of a cubic graph $G$ is a partition of the vertex-set of $G$ into two parts $V_1$ and $V_2$ of equal size, such that each connected component of the subgraph of $G$ induced by $V_i$ ($i=1,2$) is a tree of at most $k-2$ vertices. This notion can be viewed as a relaxed version of nowhere-zero flows, as it directly follows from old results of Jaeger that every cubic graph $G$ with a circular nowhere-zero $r$-flow has a $\lfloor r \rfloor$-weak bisection. In this paper we study problems related to the existence of $k$-weak bisections. We believe that every cubic graph which has a perfect matching, other than the Petersen graph, admits a 4-weak bisection and we present a family of cubic graphs with no perfect matching which do not admit such a bisection. The main result of this article is that every cubic graph admits a 5-weak bisection. When restricted to bridgeless graphs, that result would be a consequence of the assertion of the 5-flow Conjecture and as such it can be considered a (very small) step toward proving that assertion. However, the harder part of our proof focuses on graphs which do contain bridges.

description: We present an exact algorithm, based on techniques from the field of Model Checking, for finding control policies for Boolean Networks (BN) with control nodes. Given a BN, a set of starting states, I, a set of goal states, F, and a target time, t, our algorithm automatically finds a sequence of control signals that deterministically drives the BN from I to F at, or before time t, or else guarantees that no such policy exists. Despite recent hardness-results for finding control policies for BNs, we show that, in practice, our algorithm runs in seconds to minutes on over 13,400 BNs of varying sizes and topologies, including a BN model of embryogenesis in Drosophila melanogaster with 15,360 Boolean variables. We then extend our method to automatically identify a set of Boolean transfer functions that reproduce the qualitative behavior of gene regulatory networks. Specifically, we automatically learn a BN model of D. melanogaster embryogenesis in 5.3 seconds, from a space containing 6.9 × 1010 possible models.

description: One of the unique features of PHENIX detector is the muon tracking and identification system. In the collisions of polarized protons, the muon arms can explore the polarization of quarks and gluons in the proton through W boson production, the Drell - Yan process and open heavy flavor production. This thesis reports the performance of the muon spectrometer during the first data taking period and also the production cross section for J/Psi in proton-proton collision at √sNN = 200 GeV which is in good agreement with the color evaporation model and QCD predictions.
Land cover and land use changes under forest protection and restoration in Tiantangzhai Township, Anhui, China

description: Deforestation and forest regeneration are two key changes in the forest ecosystem that have profound impacts of the goods and services in terrestrial ecosystem. In late 1990s, China implemented Sloping Land Conversion Program (SLCP) and Natural Forest Protection Program (NFPP) aimed at forest protection and restoration. Using archived historical images, this study compared the land-cover/land-use (LCLU) changes before and after the programs and developed remote sensing indices to characterize the growth trajectory of Grain-For-Green (GFG) and natural forests. The results indicate substantial increase of natural forest cover during 2002-2013, compared with that during 1992-2002. The proposed indices revealed aggradation for both NFPP and GFG forests since the implementation of these policies. Further analysis found spatial variation of forest development depends on the topographic factors. This study reveals that SLCP and NFPP have been improving forest growth and development in the study area since the implementation of these policies.

description: Partitioning a polygonal mesh into meaningful parts can be challenging. Many applications require decomposing such structures for further processing in computer graphics. In the last decade, several methods were proposed to tackle this problem, at the cost of intensive computational times. Recently, machine learning has proven to be effective for the segmentation task on 3D structures. Nevertheless, these state-of-the-art methods are often hardly generalizable and require dividing the learned model into several specific classes of objects to avoid overfitting. We present a data-driven approach leveraging deep learning to encode a mapping function prior to mesh segmentation for multiple applications. Our network reproduces a neighborhood map using our knowledge of the \textsl{Shape Diameter Function} (SDF) method using similarities among vertex neighborhoods. Our approach is resolution-agnostic as we downsample the input meshes and query the full-resolution structure solely for neighborhood contributions. Using our predicted SDF values, we can inject the resulting structure into a graph-cut algorithm to generate an efficient and robust mesh segmentation while considerably reducing the required computation times.

description: We develop a hydrodynamic description of the collective modes of interacting liquids in a quasi-one-dimensional confining potential. By solving Navier-Stokes equations we determine analytically excitation spectrum of sloshing oscillations. For parabolic confinement, the lowest frequency eigenmode is not renormalized by interactions and is protected from decay by the Kohn theorem, which states that center of mass motion decouples from internal dynamics. We find that the combined effect of potential anharmonicity and interactions results in the depolarization shift and final lifetime of the Kohn mode. All other excited modes of sloshing oscillations thermalize with the parametrically faster rates. Our results are significant for the interpretation of recent experiments with trapped Fermi gases that observed weak violation of the Kohn theorem.
