description: Let $f:X\to X $ be a dominant self-morphism of an algebraic variety over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We consider the set $Σ_{f^{\infty}}$ of $f$-periodic (irreducible closed) subvarieties of small dynamical degree, the subset $S_{f^{\infty}}$ of maximal elements in $Σ_{f^{\infty}}$, and the subset $S_f$ of $f$-invariant elements in $S_{f^{\infty}}$. When $X$ is projective, we prove the finiteness of the set $P_f$ of $f$-invariant prime divisors with small dynamical degree, and give an optimal upper bound (of cardinality) $$\sharp P_{f^n}\le d_1(f)^n(1+o(1))$$ as $n\to \infty$, where $d_1(f)$ is the first dynamic degree of $f$. When $X$ is an algebraic group (with $f$ being a translation of an isogeny), or a (not necessarily complete) toric variety (with $f$ stabilizing the big torus), we give an optimal upper bound $$\sharp S_{f^n}\le d_1(f)^{n\cdot\dim(X)}(1+o(1))$$ as $n \to \infty$, which slightly generalizes a conjecture of S.-W. Zhang for polarized $f$.

description: A cap of spherical radius $α$ on a unit $d$-sphere $S$ is the set of points within spherical distance $α$ from a given point on the sphere. Let $\mathcal F$ be a finite set of caps lying on $S$. We prove that if no hyperplane through the center of $ S $ divides $\mathcal F$ into two non-empty subsets without intersecting any cap in $\mathcal F$, then there is a cap of radius equal to the sum of radii of all caps in $\mathcal F$ covering all caps of $\mathcal F$ provided that the sum of radii is less $π/2$. This is the spherical analog of the so-called Circle Covering Theorem by Goodman and Goodman and the strengthening of Fejes Tóth's zone conjecture proved by Jiang and the author arXiv:1703.10550.

description: We derive the nucleon-nucleon isoscalar spin-orbit potential from the Skyrme model and find good agreement with the Paris potential. This solves a problem that has been open for more than thirty years and gives a new geometric understanding of the spin-orbit force. Our calculation is based on the dipole approximation to skyrmion dynamics and higher order perturbation theory.

description: In this paper we explore opportunities for the post-trade industry to standardize and simplify in order to significantly increase efficiency and reduce costs. We start by summarizing relevant industry problems (inconsistent processes, inconsistent data and duplicated data) and then present the corresponding potential industry solutions (process standardization, data standardization and authoritative data stores). This includes transitioning to the International Swaps and Derivatives Association Common Domain Model (CDM) as a standard set of digital representations for the business events and processes throughout the life cycle of a trade. We then explore how financial market infrastructures could operate authoritative data stores that make CDM business events available to broker-dealers, considering both traditional centralized models and potential decentralized models. For both types of model, there are many possible adoption scenarios (depending on each broker-dealer's degree of integration with the authoritative data store and usage of the CDM), and we identify some of the key scenarios.

Eurocentrism, Islam, and the intellectual politics of civilizational framing
Creators: name: Bashir, Shahzad
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2018

description: Eurocentrism denotes a non-homogenous set of ideas and practices that pervade the material and discursive worlds we inhabit. Rather than countervailing Eurocentric knowledges, we can treat them as contingent representations with specific premises and intelligible conditions of possibility and change. Analyzing Eurocentrism is synonymous with critical engagement with the disciplines and topical arenas that define our work. To exemplify this viewpoint, this paper evaluates epistemological framings deployed in the work of Gottlieb W. Leitner (d. 1899) and Jurji Zaidan (d. 1914), authors who published synthetic accounts of ‘Islamic history’ for wide consumption.

Leitner collaborated with Indian scholars and wrote in Urdu on this topic while Zaidan was a major figure in the modern Arabic literary awakening known as the nahda. Their works champion Muslims and Arabs on the basis of thoroughly Eurocentric ideas regarding universal ‘civilization’. They are invested in proper understanding of ‘history’ as the guarantor of accurate interpretation in modern scholarship that utilizes premodern sources. Appreciating the work of Leitner and Zaidan as knowledge production that entangles Europe and non-Europe—and value-laden projections regarding modernity and premodernity—helps to treat Eurocentrism in current and future scholarship in the humanities and the social sciences.

description: A context-aware recommender system (CARS) applies sensing and analysis of user context to provide personalized services. The contextual information can be driven from sensors in order to improve the accuracy of the recommendations. Yet, generating accurate recommendations is not enough to constitute a useful system from the users' perspective, since certain contextual information may cause different issues, such as draining the user's battery, privacy issues, and more. Adding high-dimensional contextual information may increase both the dimensionality and sparsity of the model. Previous studies suggest reducing the amount of contextual information by selecting the most suitable contextual information using a domain knowledge. Another solution is compressing it into a denser latent space, thus disrupting the ability to explain the recommendation item to the user, and damaging users' trust. In this paper we present an approach for selecting low-dimensional subsets of the contextual information and incorporating them explicitly within CARS. Specifically, we present a novel feature-selection algorithm, based on genetic algorithms (GA), that outperforms SOTA dimensional-reduction CARS algorithms, improves the accuracy and the explainability of the recommendations, and allows for controlling user aspects, such as privacy and battery consumption. Furthermore, we exploit the top subsets that are generated along the evolutionary process, by learning multiple deep context-aware models and applying a stacking technique on them, thus improving the accuracy while remaining at the explicit space. We evaluated our approach on two high-dimensional context-aware datasets driven from smartphones. An empirical analysis of our results validates that our proposed approach outperforms SOTA CARS models while improving transparency and explainability to the user.

Knowledge about the ›Orient‹ between voice and scripture - Michel de Certeau and the Royal Danish Expedition to Arabia Felix (1761–1767)
Creators: name: Hähnle, Mirjam
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2018

description: Using Carsten Niebuhr’s travelogues of the Royal Danish Expedition to Arabia (1761-67) as an example, this article reflects on the possibilities to examine knowledge that was produced during early modern expeditions to the Middle East. It tries to answer questions of how to read European archives in a critical way and how to deal with (local) actors who were erased of the record. Thereby, it questions current literature that describes the encounter between European scholars and Asian cultures as pre-colonial and therefore non-Eurocentric.

Michel de Certeau’s dualistic approach that demonstrates epistemological dominance in knowledge production, but also attempts to create limited agencies for those who have been excluded by this knowledge, serves as a guideline for reading Niebuhr’s travelogues. The first chapter asks how the voices of the other were transformed into European scripture in the Royal Danish Expedition. After that, the potential of local voices to disturb European scripture will be an issue. Finally, knowledge gained in the field will be described as a product of various forms of spatial appropriation.

Petrified worldviews. The Eurocentric legacy in architectural knowledge bases on Japan
Creators: name: Löffler, Beate
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2018

description: During the later half of the 19th century, the Japanese government initiated a rapid modernization effort that aimed to create a competitive Japanese nation state. In addition to such changes as new family law, compulsory education, redistribution of property, etc., the government contracted experts from Europe and North America as advisers and teachers. Many reported home and soon travelogues, regional studies, and accounts on particular topics were published in Europe and the US.

Dealing with the most diverse topics, the writers usually mediated factual information embedded in reflections upon Japanese culture in general. This happened against the background of a global understanding of civilization in which the western claim for hegemony was apparent. When Japan adopted its position as one of the leading countries in the world over time and Japanese studies developed as an academic field, these early texts lost relevance. However, they did not lose their influence.

My paper traces the various western discourses on Japanese architecture thru the late 19th century and the formation of a body of specialist’s knowledge permeated by cultural normative, by a demarcation between the Own and the Other. I argue that these embedded Eurocentric perceptions still impact today’s research topics and architectural discourses on Japan.

description: We consider a (mathbb{Z}_2)-equivariant flow in (mathbb{R}^{4}) with an integral of motion and a hyperbolic equilibrium with a transverse homoclinic orbit (Gamma). We provide criteria for the existence of stable and unstable invariant manifolds of (Gamma). We prove that if these manifolds intersect transversely, creating a so-called super-homoclinic, then in any neighborhood of this super-homoclinic there exist infinitely many multi-pulse homoclinic loops. An application to a system of coupled nonlinear Schrödinger equations is considered.
Feminism Otherwise. Intersectionality beyond Occidentalism
Creators: name: Roth, Julia
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2018

description: Based on the paradigm of Eurocentric hegemony and the respective cartographies of knowledge, feminist theorizing is conventionally perceived as being situated in the academy and in the so-called »Global North.« Feminism seems to be »owned« by Western European and US-American academic (and mostly white) feminists, whereas other regions and epistemes serve as object of knowledge production. For example, the concept of »intersectionality« has by now become an academic concept in the humanities and the social sciences, even so the idea behind it originates from African American feminist and activist contexts. Also black feminists from »peripheral« spaces such as the Caribbean or Brazil had for a long time been claiming the need for examining the interdependent inequalities they experience as addressed in the concept, however mostly not under the same terminology.
Exemplifying the Occidentalism paradigm for addressing epistemic inequalities, this article elaborates on the persistent geopolitics of knowledge within and between different feminism(s) and between different feminisms in different regions of the world. Against the backdrop of the ways in which the feminist concept of »intersectionality« for addressing interdependent axes of stratification has travelled, the article seeks to discuss possible forms of solidarity and theorizing across and beyond borders. For analyzing epistemic asymmetries between feminisms, the article proposes the concept of Occidentalism, which, in a broader and more structural sense than Eurocentrism, implies a structural organization of highly unequal, asymmetrical and hierarchical knowledge production and circulation. Furthermore, a critical Occidentalist approach critical of hegemony and focusing on a relational understanding serves for imagining feminist practice and theorizing beyond Eurocentrism and Occidentalism

Neurodevelopmental disorders and the journey to diagnosis: an exploration of adults' experiences
Creators: name: Evans, Claire
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2022

description: This thesis comprises of three sections including a literature review, research paper, and a critical appraisal. Initially, with the aim of exploring adults’ experiences of receiving a diagnosis of ADHD in adulthood, including capturing life pre- and-post diagnosis, a meta-synthesis was conducted of seven qualitative papers. In applying a meta-ethnographic approach, three core concepts emerged: 1) Living with the ‘unknown’ and trying to survive; 2) Receiving a diagnosis of ADHD: a blessing and a curse; and 3) Adjusting to the diagnosis and re-evaluating life. The findings highlight the challenges adults encountered, pre- and post-diagnosis and their responses to this, before moving to a position of self-acceptance. The research paper focused on exploring adults’ prior experiences of living with undiagnosed ASD, including the process of pursuing, receiving, and adjusting to a diagnosis in adulthood. IPA was used to explore adults’ lived experiences and identified four superordinate themes: 1) ‘Lost in space’: Feeling different and like an outsider; 2) The process of pursuing an explanation for the difference; 3) Shock, disappointment, and relief: the emotional responses to receiving a diagnosis; and 4) Adjusting to the diagnosis: rediscovering myself and learning to accept the difference. These findings captured the journey adults embarked on in attempting to make sense of themselves in a ‘neurotypical’ world, including the barriers they had to overcome in the process. Both experiences of living without a diagnosis of a neurodevelopmental ‘disorder’ and receiving one later in life, represented a ‘trauma’ which stemmed from an awareness of being ‘different’ and not ‘fitting-in’ to a ‘neurotypical’ world. In response to this, adults defaulted to a ‘fight or flight’ position, with the ultimate aim of surviving. These findings illustrate the importance of providing support to the ‘neuro-diverse’ community and raising awareness of their unique attributes to alleviate feelings of ‘difference’.
Persistence of Eurocentric orders and divisions. Reflections on »postcolonial scholarship« and the disentanglement of »race« and »religion«

name: Zubair, Ahmad
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology
Year: 2018

description: The contribution tackles the division between race and religion in critical-postcolonial scholarship. We argue that critical and postcolonial conversations have not only sidelined interest in the category of religion, and of its historical evolvement as an analytical category, but moreover its relationship with race. In keeping the question of religion marginal at best and detached from race at worst, strands of critical-postcolonial scholarship, we argue, have reproduced the epistemic order of Eurocentrism along with its sedimented divisions between race and religion.

In exploring the critical-postcolonial scholarship on race and religion respectively, we illustrate the operations defining and dividing both. This contribution’s aim, however, does not attempt to conflate race and religion as categories of analysis, rather, it seeks to unravel the historical operations and moments where these categories served to classify and rank humans. By exploring this merging and detachment we aim to contribute to the growing literature pertaining to anti-Muslim racism or Islamophobia, and approaches framing anti-Semitism as a form of racism, that is, those persistent political operations whereby race and religion persistently overlap.

Beyond bipolarity? The rise and fall of the Argentine Third Position (1947–1950)

description: Latin America is usually regarded as a minor theatre of the Cold War because of the tight grip of the United States on its »backyard«. Although the field of Global Cold War Studies has emphasized the importance to extend the analytical view to the so-called Third World during this period, there are only few Latin American examples which receive attention. This paper advocates for a fresh look at the regime of Juan Perón in Argentina in the context of the Global Cold War. In the early phase of the superpower confrontation, Perón warned about a clash of capitalism and communism and in 1947 proclaimed a Third Position between the two superpowers. Although the Argentine government guaranteed the US to be on its side in case of a future war, Washington considered this Third Position an obstacle to its hemispheric policy. An analysis of the Third Position can help us get a broader perspective on the early phase of the Cold War in Latin America.

description: The emergence of two-dimensional (2D) materials launched a fascinating frontier of flatland electronics. Most crystalline atomic layer materials are based on layered van der Waals materials with weak interlayer bonding, which naturally leads to thermodynamically stable monolayers. We report the synthesis of a 2D insulator comprised of a single atomic sheet of honeycomb structure BeO (h-BeO), although its bulk counterpart has a wurtzite structure. The h-BeO is grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on Ag(111) thin films that are conveniently grown on Si(111) wafers. Using scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy (STM/S), the honeycomb BeO lattice constant is determined to be 2.65 angstrom with an insulating band gap of 6 eV. Our low energy electron diffraction (LEED) measurements indicate that the h-BeO forms a continuous layer with good crystallinity at the millimeter scale. Moiré pattern analysis shows the BeO honeycomb structure maintains long range phase coherence in atomic registry even across Ag steps. We find that the interaction between the h-BeO layer and the Ag(111) substrate is weak by using STS and complimentary density functional theory calculations. We not only demonstrate the feasibility of growing h-BeO monolayers by MBE, but also illustrate that the large-scale growth, weak substrate interactions, and long-range crystallinity make h-BeO an attractive candidate for future technological applications. More significantly, the ability to create a stable single crystalline atomic sheet without a bulk layered counterpart is an intriguing approach to tailoring novel 2D electronic materials.

description: State-of-the-art classical neural networks are observed to be vulnerable to small crafted adversarial perturbations. A more severe vulnerability has been noted for quantum machine learning (QML) models classifying Haar-random pure states. This stems from the concentration of measure phenomenon, a property of the metric space when sampled probabilistically, and is independent of the classification protocol. In order to provide insights into the adversarial robustness of a quantum classifier on real-world classification tasks, we focus on the adversarial robustness in classifying a subset of encoded states that are smoothly generated from a Gaussian latent space. We show that the vulnerability of this task is considerably weaker than that of classifying Haar-random pure states. In particular, we find only mildly polynomially decreasing robustness in the number of qubits, in contrast to the exponentially decreasing robustness when classifying Haar-random pure states and suggesting that QML models can be useful for real-world classification tasks.

description: Write disturbance error (WDE) appears as a serious reliability problem preventing phase-change memory (PCM) from general commercialization, and therefore several studies have been proposed to mitigate WDEs. Verify-and-correction (VnC) eliminates WDEs by always verifying the data correctness on neighbors after programming, but incurs significant performance overhead. Encoding-based schemes mitigate WDEs by reducing the number of WDE-vulnerable data patterns; however, mitigation performance notably fluctuates with applications. Moreover, encoding-based schemes still rely on VnC-based schemes. Cache-based schemes lower WDEs by storing data in a write cache, but it requires several megabytes of SRAM to significantly mitigate WDEs. Despite the efforts of previous studies, these methods incur either significant performance or area overhead. Therefore, a new approach, which does not rely on VnC-based schemes or application data patterns, is highly necessary. Furthermore, the new approach should be transparent to processors (i.e., in-module), because the characteristic of WDEs is determined by manufacturers of PCM products. In this paper, we present an in-module disturbance barrier (IMDB) that mitigates WDEs on demand. IMDB includes a two-level hierarchy comprising two SRAM-based tables, whose entries are managed with a dedicated replacement policy that sufficiently utilizes the characteristics of WDEs. The naive implementation of the replacement policy requires hundreds of read ports on SRAM, which is infeasible in real hardware; hence, an approximate comparator is also designed. We also conduct a rigorous exploration of architecture parameters to obtain a cost-effective design. The proposed method significantly reduces WDEs without noticeable speed degradation or additional energy consumption compared to previous methods.

description: Spectral clustering is a popular method for community detection in network graphs: starting from a matrix representation of the graph, the nodes are clustered on a low dimensional projection obtained from a truncated spectral decomposition of the matrix. Estimating correctly the number of communities and the dimension of the reduced latent space is critical for good performance of spectral clustering algorithms. Furthermore, many real-world graphs, such as enterprise computer networks studied in cyber-security applications, often display heterogeneous within-community degree distributions. Such heterogeneous degree distributions are usually not well captured by standard spectral clustering algorithms. In this article, a novel spectral clustering algorithm is proposed for community detection under the degree-corrected stochastic blockmodel. The proposed method is based on a transformation of the spectral embedding to spherical coordinates, and a novel modelling assumption in the transformed space. The method allows for simultaneous and automated selection of the number of communities and the latent dimension for spectral embeddings of graphs with uneven node degrees. Results show improved performance over competing methods in representing computer networks.

description: We propose a novel neural network architecture based on dual quaternions which allow for a compact representation of informations with a main focus on describing rigid body movements. To cover the dynamic behavior inherent to rigid body movements, we propose recurrent architectures in the neural network. To further model the interactions between individual rigid bodies as well as external inputs efficiently, we incorporate a novel attention mechanism employing dual quaternion algebra. The introduced architecture is trainable by means of gradient based algorithms. We apply our approach to a parcel prediction problem where a rigid body with an initial position, orientation, velocity and angular velocity moves through a fixed simulation environment which exhibits rich interactions between the parcel and the boundaries.

description: We derive a detector function for quantum two-mode squeezing (QTMS) radars and noise radars that is based on the use of a likelihood ratio (LR) test for distinguishing between the presence and absence of a target. In addition to an explicit expression for the LR detector, we derive a detector function which approximates the LR detector in the limit where the target is small, far away, or otherwise difficult to detect. When the number of integrated samples is large, we derive a theoretical expression for the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve of the radar when the LR detector is used. When the number of samples is small, we use simulations to understand the ROC curve behavior of the detector. One interesting finding is there exists a parameter regime in which a previously-studied detector outperforms the LR detector, contrary to the intuition that LR tests are optimal. This is because neither the Neyman-Pearson lemma, nor the Karlin-Rubin theorem which generalizes the lemma, hold in this particular problem. However, the LR detector remains a good choice for target detection.

The cobordism distance between a knot and its reverse

description: The cobordism distance between knots, d(K,J), equals the four-genus g_4(K # -J). We consider d(K,K^r), where K^r is the reverse of K. It is elementary that 0 \le d(K,K^r) \le 2g_4(K) and it is known that there are knots K for which d(K,K^r) is arbitrarily large. Here it is shown that for any knot for which g_4(K) = g_3(K) (such as non-slice knots with g_3(K) = 1 or strongly quasi-positive knots), one has that d(K,K^r) is strictly less that twice g_4(K). It is shown that for arbitrary positive g, there exist knots for which d(K,K^r) = g = g_4(K). There are no known examples for which d(K,K^r) > g_4(K).

description: Progress to-date towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has fallen short of expectations and is unlikely to fully meet 2030 targets. Despite the little chance of imminent success, past assessments have mostly focused on short- and medium-term evaluations, limiting the ability to explore the longer-term effects of systemic interactions with time lags and delay. Here we undertake global systems modelling with a longer-term view than previous assessments to explore the drivers of sustainability progress and how they could emerge by 2030, 2050, and 2100 under different development pathways and towards quantitative targets. We find that early planning for systems change to shift from business-as-usual to more sustainable pathways is important for accelerating progress towards increasingly ambitious targets by 2030, 2050, and 2100. These findings indicate the importance of adopting longer-term timeframes and pathways to ensure that the necessary pre-conditions are in place for sustainability beyond the current 2030 Agenda.

Re-mapping Europe. Field notes from the French-Brazilian borderland
Creators: name: Santos, Fabio
Publisher: name: InterDisciplines. Journal of History and Sociology

description: By highlighting the case of French Guiana and – more extensively – its border with Brazil, this article is a contribution to the recent academic interest in the European Union’s ›Outermost Regions‹ and the colonial continuities implied by their status. The article begins by depicting sociology’s Eurocentric tradition, precluding postcolonial perspectives on Europe d’outre mer from gaining a foothold in mainstream research and curricula.

In this context, recent re-conceptualizations of ›entangled‹ histories and modernities/modernity are brought into focus. In a second step, the paper offers a historical overview of French Guiana and its contested border with Brazil. The article proceeds by presenting ethnographic field notes from the border region. These empirical insights illustrate the on-going entanglements not only between ›mainland‹ France and its exclave on the Latin American continent, but also between France and Brazil as well as between Europe and Latin America more generally.

description: In the last few years,Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs) have progressed as an emerging research area in the fields of human-computer interaction and interactive systems.This is primarily due to the introduction of low-cost electroencephalographic (EEG) systems that render BCI technology accessible for non-medical research but also due to the advancements of signal processing and machine learning methods.Consequently,BCIs could provide a wide new range of possibilities in the way users interact with a computer system (e.g., neuroadaptive interfaces).However,major challenges must still be addressed for BCI systems to mature into an established communication medium for effective human-computer interaction. One of the major challenges involves the easy integration of real-time processing pipelines with portable EEG systems for an out-of-the-lab use. To date, despite the amount of options current open-source tools provide, most toolboxes focus mainly in extending the processing and classification methods but lack on the ability to provide an easy-to-design yet extensible architecture for ubiquitous use.Here, we present NeuXus, a modular toolbox in Python for real-time biosignal processing and pipeline design.NeuXus is open-source and platform independent,providing high-level implementation of processing pipelines for easy BCI design and deployment.

description: According to the latest WHO Globocan in 2020 and the most updated national cancer registry in Egypt in 2014, liver cancer ranks first as the most common cancer representing 20-35% of all cancer prevalence. Due to its high burden and cumulative risk to the population, various campaigns for the treatment of hepatitis virus were started and sealed to mitigate its effect. In screening and diagnosis for liver lesions, contrast agents are mostly used to make abnormalities more visible due to the low contrast differentiation between lesions and liver tissue. Contrast agents supply was heavily affected by COVID-19 global supply chain disruption and local economic instability afterward. Our goal is to establish a benchmark for liver tumor segmentation on non-contrast CT scans and show the potential of utilizing multi-phase data to enhance the training process, thereby enhancing lesion detection accuracy in NC imaging when access to contrast agents is restricted. Our challenge distinguishes itself with multi-phase CT (non-contrast and contrast-enhanced arterial (ART), portal venous (PV), and delayed phase cuts) intending to increase the upper bound for liver lesion segmentation.

description: We derive the nucleon-nucleon interaction from the Skyrme model using second order perturbation theory and the dipole approximation to skyrmion dynamics. Unlike previous derivations, our derivation accounts for the non-trivial kinetic and potential parts of the skyrmion-skyrmion interaction lagrangian and how they couple in the quantum calculation. We derive the eight low energy interaction potentials and compare them with the phenomenological Paris model, finding qualitative agreement in seven cases.
