description: This master thesis aims to employ Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) neural networks for one-step and multi-step time series forecasts. For this endeavor, a software stack, including a deep learning framework is selected and different machine learning- and statistical models are implemented. The performance of the LSTM approaches is compared to carefully chosen benchmark methods on an exemplary real-world problem and the experiments are run on powerful, cloud-based machines. To provide a methodological framework for time series forecasting projects, a seven-phase process model is elaborated. Further, to allow for model selection of computationally intensive deep learning methods under limited resources, a modified form of blocked cross-validation, together with a multi-stage Bayesian hyperparameter optimization approach is proposed. The proof of concept of the pro-posed methodology is conducted on the real-world problem in the domain of electricity demand forecasting. The implemented LSTM model clearly outperformed the benchmark models on all per-formance measures in the one-step walk forward out-of-sample test and showed a roughly 10% low-er root-mean square error than the second-best model which utilized double seasonal Holt-Winters exponential smoothing. Inspired by work in the area of natural language processing, for the multi-step scenario, an encoder-decoder LSTM neural network was implemented, as simpler architectures showed disappointing results. Also, the multi-step LSTM forecaster proofed to be a competitive ap-proach, but the purely statistical model had the lead. However, due to resource constraints, it was not possible to retrieve statements on the same validity level as for the one-step case. By comparing the LSTM-forecaster to the predictive performance of simple recurrent neural networks, the added value of the more complex, gated cell architecture of the LSTM has been indicated. A downside of LSTM neural networks is the relatively long training time which can be a problem for exhaustive hy-perparameter searches. On the other hand, LSTM neural networks showed to have good generaliza-tion ability and needed comparably infrequent retraining.

description: We construct an equivariant microlocal lift for locally symmetric spaces. In other words, we demonstrate how to lift, in a ``semi-canonical'' fashion, limits of eigenfunction measures on locally symmetric spaces to Cartan-invariant measures on an appropriate bundle. The construction uses elementary features of the representation theory of semisimple real Lie groups, and can be considered a generalization of Zelditch's results from the upper half-plane to all locally symmetric spaces of noncompact type. This will be applied in a sequel to settle a version of the quantum unique ergodicity problem on certain locally symmetric spaces.

description: The aim of the study was analyzys of reproduction of mechanization fixed assets in farms under investigation on the territory of Lower Silesia. The study was conducted in the period of three years since 2008 to 2010. Source materials came from 100 individual farms with profile of plant production located in the most intensive agricultural sub-regions of Lower Silesia. The analyzys found that in all area groups of farms except the smallest group the investment activity in the area of agricultural equipment was noted. The main source of investment financing of purchased machines in smaller farms were their own funds but in the largest farms from European Union funds.

Bragg spectroscopy of an accelerating condensate with solitary-wave behaviour

Year: 2004

description: We present a theoretical treatment of Bragg spectroscopy of an accelerating condensate in a solitary-wave state. Our treatment is based on the Gross-Pitaevskii equation with an optical potential representing the Bragg pulse and an additional external time-dependent potential generating the solitary-wave behaviour. By transforming to a frame translating with the condensate, we derive an approximate set of equations that can be readily solved to generate approximate Bragg spectra. Our analytic method is accurate within a well defined parameter regime and provides physical insight into the structure of the spectra. We illustrate our formalism using the example of Bragg spectroscopy of a condensate in a time-averaged orbiting potential trap.

description: The $DDK$ 3-body system is supposed to be bound due to the strongly attractive interaction between the $D$ meson and the $K$ meson in the isospin zero channel. The minimum quark content of this 3-body bound state is $cc\bar{q}\bar{s}$ with $q=u,d$. It will be an explicitly exotic tetraquark state once discovered. In order to confirm the phenomenological study of the $DDK$ system, we can refer to lattice QCD as a powerful theoretical tool parallel to the experiment measurement. In this paper, a 3-body quantization condition scheme is derived via the non-relativistic effective theory and the particle-dimer picture in finite volume. Lattice spectrum of this 3-body system is calculated within the existing model inputs. The spectrum shows various interesting properties of the $DDK$ system, and it may reveal the nature of the $D^*(2317)$. This predicated spectrum is expected to be tested in future lattice simulations.

description: The aim of the study was to compare the size and productivity of the factors of land and work in agriculture of old and new EU member states. In the paper analyzed vertical and horizontal changes in mentioned factors in the 27 countries of the European Union in 2005-2012. In the new EU member countries, the involvement of land and labor inputs in agricultural production resulted in 2005 and 2012 in worse production effects than in “fifteen” countries. This was partly due to lower crop prices received by farmers in Eastern Europe and smaller payments counted for gross value added of agriculture. However, the main reason for the poor performance of agricultural production in the group of new countries was not very effective use of available productive resources, especially labor factor.

description: In a planned development process, the role of local government is important for both planning and implementation of development projects. Bangladesh has experienced more than 25 years of development planning and local government institutions have also been created during that period. Yet those institutions have contributed very little to the development process. In this article, development orientation, both in theory and in practice, of a rural local government is examined by using two criteria: degree of autonomy as reflected through the powers and functions to be performed and the sources of funds to execute those powers and functions; characteristics of leadership. Analysis has revealed that local government could not play a positive role because of the differences between ‘official’ and ‘operative’ objectives of the successive national governments and this difference has its roots in the existing power structure and class bases of the society.
An Alternative Model of Amino Acid Replacement

description: The observed correlations between pairs of homologous protein sequences are typically explained in terms of a Markovian dynamic of amino acid substitution. This model assumes that every location on the protein sequence has the same background distribution of amino acids, an assumption that is incompatible with the observed heterogeneity of protein amino acid profiles and with the success of profile multiple sequence alignment. We propose an alternative model of amino acid replacement during protein evolution based upon the assumption that the variation of the amino acid background distribution from one residue to the next is sufficient to explain the observed sequence correlations of homologs. The resulting dynamical model of independent replacements drawn from heterogeneous backgrounds is simple and consistent, and provides a unified homology match score for sequence-sequence, sequence-profile and profile-profile alignment.

description: Graph signal processing is an emerging field of large-scale data analysis that aims to provide useful algebraic signal processing tools to process data defined on graph domains. We use the algebraic approach of graph signal processing to introduce basic concepts, such as graph filters, graph Fourier transform, sampling on graphs and the perfect recovery of sampled graph signals. In this thesis, we investigate the performance of an iterative recovery algorithm. The considered method is universally applicable to general graph weight matrices and has an analytic upper error bound that allows to predict the number of iterations as a function of the desired accuracy. The performance of the iterative algorithm for different weight matrices with entries taken from different random distributions (either uniform, Gaussian or discrete distribution) is compared. Moreover, the impact of multiple factors, such as the signal dimension, the size of the frequency support set, the number of measured signal components, and the sparsity factor of the weight matrices is analyzed for different desired accuracies. The simulations show that the iterative algorithm performs considerably better in terms of complexity than the classical matrix inversion used in the perfect recovery theorem, when a proper proportion between the signal dimension, frequency support set and number of measured signal components is chosen. Moreover, a significant reduction of the required number of iterations can be achieved, when a lower accuracy of the recovered signal is allowed. Furthermore, the analysis of the results suggested an approach to avoid the computation of the largest and smallest eigenvalue of each realization of the weight matrix, that allows further complexity reduction of the iterative algorithm.

Relativistic positioning and Sagnac-like measurements for fundamental physics in space
Creators: name: Tartaglia, Angelo
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The paper concerns the use of satellites of the Galileo constellation for relativistic positioning and for measurements of the gravito-magnetic effects induced by the angular momentum both of the Earth and of the dark halo of the Milky Way. The experimental approach is based on the generalized Sagnac effect, induced both by the rotation of the device and the fact that the observer is located within the gravitational field of a spinning mass. Among the possible sources there is also the angular momentum of the dark halo of the Milky Way. Time modulation of the expected signal would facilitate its disentanglement from the other contributions. The modulation could be obtained using satellites located on different orbital planes.

description: We study post weak decoupling coherent active-sterile and active-active matter-enhanced neutrino flavor transformation in the early universe. We show that flavor conversion efficiency at Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein resonances is likely to be high (adiabatic evolution) for relevant neutrino parameters and energies. However, we point out that these resonances cannot sweep smoothly and continuously with the expansion of the universe. We show how neutrino flavor conversion in this way can leave both the active and sterile neutrinos with non-thermal energy spectra, and how, in turn, these distorted energy spectra can affect the neutron-to-proton ratio, primordial nucleosynthesis, and cosmological mass/closure constraints on sterile neutrinos. We demonstrate that the existence of a light sterile neutrino which mixes with active neutrinos can change fundamentally the relationship between the cosmological lepton numbers and the primordial nucleosynthesis He-4 yield.

description: Marine fish is a relatively unexploited source for meeting the deficient protein supply problem in the country. An important consideration in this respect is the technology mix to be used. In this article relative economics of the alternative technologies currently in use for production and processing of marine fish have been analyzed. The trawler operation could not be completely analyzed because of poor accounts keeping by the relevant agencies which imply that the project is not being well managed. Mechanized and sail boats are respectively capital and labour intensive techniques and input-output ratios are the same for both type of boats but mechanized boat can produce much higher output per time unit. Most of the processing plants are heavily underutilized due to shortage of fish. It has been concluded that appropriate steps should be taken to economically operate the trawler project and expand the rate of boat mechanization for expanding fish production both for fresh sale and for better utilization of the processing plants.

description: In a sample of 384 farms, 79 per cent applied some fertilizer in the survey year 1976/77, rate of adoption varied from 95 per cent in case of Boro HYV to 41 per cent in case of Jute. Only 37 per cent of recommended doze was applied in Boro HYV compared to 66 per cent for Boro LYV, 76 per cent for Jute, 37 per cent for T. Aman and 30 per cent for Aus. Proper mix was applied to around 60 per cent of Boro LYV and HYV areas and around 20 per cent in case of Aus, Jute and Tobacco. Fertilizing experience, size of farm, tenurial status, availability of institutional credit and purchase of fertilizer from government licensed dealers has significant influence on the rate and mix of fertilizer application.

Conceptual deficiencies of these 3 or 5 type tenure classifications are discussed and alternative conceptual framework is suggested for identifying and classifying tenure relationship. Applying the suggested framework, 17 different tenure relations were identified in a sample of 385 farms.

description: We have used observations taken under the FUSE S405/S505 channel realignment program to explore the diffuse FUV (1000 - 1200 Å) radiation field. Of the 71 independent locations in that program, we have observed a diffuse signal in 32, ranging in brightness from 1600 photons cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ sr$^{-1}$ Å$^{-1}$ to a maximum of $2.9 \times 10^5$ photons cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ sr$^{-1}$ Å$^{-1} in Orion. The FUSE data confirm that the diffuse FUV sky is patchy with regions of intense emission, usually near bright stars, but also with dark regions, even at low Galactic latitudes. We find a weak correlation between the FUV flux and the 100 micron ratio but with wide variations, perhaps due to differences in the local radiation field.

The experience of career for people who have moved into supervisory and management role in a social service organization
Creators: name: Stevens, Alison Mary
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This phenomenological study looked at the lived career experience of seasoned supervisors and managers in social service organizations. Research indicates that career choices are generally imbedded in skills, abilities, interests and values. For those who work in the human service field, altruism frequently is among personal values that prompt such a career choice. While altruism, action that is motivated by a desire to benefit another even at a cost to oneself, may contribute to one’s work, other motivations such as a desire for career success also drive one’s behaviour in the work place. The emphasis in this study was on how supervisors and managers in social service organizations make meaning of their experience over time in their work environment, an environment experienced by many as stressful. Through qualitative, phenomenological interviews with 8 supervisors and managers in social service organizations, the researcher explored how participants describe their values, beliefs and motivation in their work, how they experience their work environment, how they make meaning of their experience and how their values, beliefs and motivation have been impacted by the environment in the immediate and over time. Findings suggest that people move through career in a holistic, manner and that values, beliefs and motivation are integrated both longitudinally and across their experience in the present. Career is experienced as imbedded in their broader life experience with the work environment providing opportunity to enact one’s values and beliefs. Motivation is sustained and balance in work is maintained through an ongoing process of weighing the positives in the work environment against the negatives. For those who experience the work environment as stressful, being part of a supportive organization that holds values and beliefs that are congruent with one’s own can provide a buffer from the negative impact of the broader environment.
Deep VLBI Imaging of Faint Radio Sources in the NOAO Bootes Field

description: We have conducted a deep, very long baseline interferometry (VLBI) observation at 1.4 GHz of an area of sky located within the NOAO Bootes field, using the NRAO VLBA and 100-m Green Bank Telescope. Applying wide-field VLBI techniques, a total of 61 sources, selected from a WSRT image, were surveyed simultaneously with a range of different sensitivities and resolutions. The inner 0-2', of the field reached an unprecedented 1-sigma rms noise level ~ 9 uJy/beam and yielded 2 detections. A further 7 sources were detected in the rest of the field. All of the sources have a brightness temperature in excess of 10^5 K; suggesting they are AGN. Optical identifications are available for 8 of the 9 VLBI detections - only VLBI J142906.6095 remains unidentified (I > 25.6m). Two sources are not detected in K-band (K > 18.5m) suggesting that some significant fraction of these compact radio sources may be located at z > 1. The VLBI detection rate for sub-mJy radio sources is 8^{+4}_{-5} %. The VLBI detection rate for mJy sources is higher, 29^{+11}_{-12}%. This trend is expected if the radio emission associated with fainter sub-mJy and microJy sources increasingly arises from extended regions of star formation. The 9 VLBI detections pin-point the precise location of AGN or candidate AGN, and their VLBI positions can help to anchor the NOAO Bootes field to the ICRF. The simultaneous detection of several sub-mJy and mJy radio sources, in a single observation, suggest that their combined response may be used to self-calibrate wide-field VLBI data. Future VLBI observations of faint sub-mJy and microJy radio sources can take full advantage of this "full-beam" calibration technique.

description: The kind of lawsuits that dominate in a country, the place where they are settled, the procedure of settlement etc. may indicate the level of socioeconomic development of that country and the problems for development. This Study provides information on characteristics of lawsuits originating in 52 sample villages in Bangladesh. It appeared that 29 percent of the suits were filed with informal institutions while 78 percent were filed with various formal institutions. About 60 percent of the suits were of criminal nature and about 55 percent of the suits were in relation to land. Variables such as proportion of minority population, size and educational attainment of a village had significant influence on the incidence of suits in a village and proportion of suits taken to formal institutions. Extrapolation from available information suggest that every year the rural people in Bangladesh spend about 1050 million Taka on lawsuits of which about 850 million Taka go to urban dwellers. This has very grave implications for development in general and rural development in particular.

description: The CAP reform is an opportunity to improve the design of existing agri-environmental schemes. Understanding the design attributes affecting farmers’ choices when they adopt an agri-environmental contract can help to identify ways of increasing their participation. The aim of this article is to measure with a choice experiment, the preferences of wine-growers for different types of contracts limiting the use of herbicides in the Languedoc-Roussillon region (France). We test the effect of introducing a collective dimension in the contracts. A monetary “bonus” would be paid to each engaged farmer, provided that the proportion of land collectively enrolled in the scheme reaches a predefined threshold. Despite a high heterogeneity among wine-growers, respondents show a preference for the contracts including this bonus and are more willing to provide environmental efforts when their neighbors also do so. Then, the presence of this bonus in the contracts terms could enhance farmers’ participation.

description: One of the ultimate goals of nuclear collision experiments at high energy is to map the phase diagram of strongly interacting matter. A very challenging task is the determination of the QCD phase structure including the search for critical behavior and verification of the possible existence of a critical end point of a first order phase transition line. A promising tool to probe the presence of critical behavior is the study of fluctuations and correlations of conserved charges since, in a thermal system, these fluctuations are directly related to the equation of state (EoS) of the system under the study. In this report an overview is given of several experimental measurements on net-proton multiplicity distributions such as cumulants and multi-particle correlation functions.

Helping workers meet the challenges of ongoing change : what strategies help and hinder?
Creators: name: Butterfield, Lee Denise
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Taking a positive psychology approach, this research looked at a little-studied subset of working women and men - those who experienced changes affecting their work and self-reported as handling them well. The primary purpose was to explore what strategies they employed that helped them handle change well, what hindered doing well, and whether there were things that would have been helpful but were unavailable. There were two secondary purposes: (1) to gain insight into the nature of the changes they had faced, the impacts of those changes, whether they had always handled change well, and if not, when that changed and why; and (2) to explore whether the research interview itself had an impact on participants. This was primarily a qualitative, exploratory study that used the Critical Incident Technique (CIT) (Flanagan, 1954) to elicit helping and hindering critical incidents and wish list items; and open-ended interview questions (Cozby, 1997; Palys, 1997) to gather information about participants' experiences of change. A quantitative component was embedded in the form of a pre- and post-interview scaling question (Palys, 1997) to determine if the interview had an impact. Data from the CIT portion of the study elicited ten helping, hindering and wish list categories: (1) Personal Attitudes/Traits/Emotional Set; (2) Support from Friends and Family; (3) Internal Framework and Boundaries; (4) Taking Action; (5) Self-care; (6) Support from Professionals; (7) Management Style and Work Environment; (8) Skill/Role Competence; (9) Support from Work Colleagues; and (10) Personal Life Changes/Issues, suggesting strategies can be employed that facilitate handling change well. Data from the quantitative portion resulted in a borderline large effect size, suggesting the interview had an impact on participants. Surprisingly, results from participants' stories of change and its impacts strongly paralleled results of studies in the unemployment, transition, burnout, and posttraumatic growth literature, suggesting this sample of workers was dealing with chaotic environments in many domains of their lives and even though they self-reported as doing well with the changes they were facing, there was a cost involved. Implications for workers, counsellors, vocational psychologists, career counsellors, human resource professionals, organizations, and future research and theory are discussed.

description: The paper presents the IWCS 2019 shared task on semantic parsing where the goal is to produce Discourse Representation Structures (DRSs) for English sentences. DRSs originate from Discourse Representation Theory and represent scoped meaning representations that capture the semantics of negation, modals, quantification, and presupposition triggers. Additionally, concepts and event-participants in DRSs are described with WordNet synsets and the thematic roles from VerbNet. To measure similarity between two DRSs, they are represented in a clausal form, i.e. as a set of tuples. Participant systems were expected to produce DRSs in this clausal form. Taking into account the rich lexical information, explicit scope marking, a high number of shared variables among clauses, and highly-constrained format of valid DRSs, all these makes the DRS parsing a challenging NLP task. The results of the shared task displayed improvements over the existing state-of-the-art parser.

Bounding the MSSM Higgs sector from above with the Tevatron's B_s --> mu^+ mu^-

description: The discovery potential of the Tevatron CDF for the rare B-decay B_s --> mu^+ mu^- is analysed. We find that with an integrated luminosity of 2 fb^(-1), and using CDF as the example detector, a 5 sigma combined discovery reach of the Tevatron is possible if the Branching ratio for B_s --> mu^+ mu^- is (1.7 +- 0.46) \times 10^(-7). Such a possible signal for the decay B_s --> mu^+ mu^- will invite large tan(beta) values and set an upper bound on the heaviest mass of the MSSM Higgs sector in a complete analogy to the upper bound of the lightest observable supersymmetric particle set from the excess over the SM prediction of the muon anomalous magnetic moment. If for example, the decay B_s -->mu^+ mu^- is found at Tevatron with branching ratio 2 \times 10^(-7) then the heaviest Higgs boson mass in the MSSM should be less than 790 GeV for tan(beta) < 50 provided that the CKM matrix is the only source for (s)quark flavour changing processes.

CCD \emph{VI} time-series of the extremely metal poor globular cluster M92: revisiting its variable star population

description: We present an analysis of \emph{VI} CCD time-series photometry of the Oo II type globular cluster M92. The variable star population of the cluster is studied with the aim of revising their classifications, identifications, frequency spectra and to select indicators of the parental cluster metallicity and distance. The Fourier decomposition of RR Lyrae light curves lead to the estimation of mean [Fe/H]$_{\rm spec}=-2.20\pm 0.18$, and distance of $8.3\pm0.2$ kpc. Four new variables are reported; one RRd (V40), a multimode SX Phe (V41), a SR (V42) and one RRc (F1) that is most likely not a cluster member. The AC nature of V7 is confirmed. The double mode nature of the RRc star V11 is not confirmed and its amplitude modulations are most likely due to the Blazhko effect. Two modes are found in the known RRc variable V13. It is argued that the variable V30, previously classified as RRab is, in fact, an BL Her-type star not belonging to the cluster. Making use of the $Gaia$-DR2 proper motions, we identified 5012 stars in the field of the cluster, that are very likely cluster members, and for which we possess photometry, enabling the production of a refined Colour-Magnitude Diagram. This also allowed us to identify a few variable stars that do not belong to the cluster. The RR Lyrae pulsation modes on the HB are cleanly separated by the first overtone red edge, a common feature in all Oo II type clusters.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.

description: Electron Acoustic waves in Fermi Plasma with two temperature electrons have various applications in space and laboratory-made plasma. In some dense plasma systems like the inside of compact stars, Fermi plasma is important. We have studied Fermi plasma system with three components, two temperature electrons, and ions. The hot electrons are mobile and produce restoring force to the system while cold electrons are immobile and produce inertia to the system. We have studied the dispersion behavior of electron acoustic waves in Fermi plasma with two temperature electrons and investigated its dependence with various plasma parameters. We have investigated KdV-B equation for the solitary profile of Fermi plasma with two temperature electrons and investigated its dependence with various plasma parameters.

title: Subliminal channels in high-speed signatures

description: One of the fundamental building blocks for achieving security in data networks is the use of digital signatures. A digital signature is a bit string which allows the receiver of a message to ensure that the message indeed originated from the apparent sender and has not been altered along the path. In certain cases, however, the functioning of signature schemes allows an adversary to additionally utilize the signature string as a hidden information channel. These channels are termed subliminal channels and have been known and tolerated since the 80s. Due to the recent progress in the development of high-speed signature algorithms, however, application scenarios for digital signatures become feasible that lead to a large exploitable bit rate for data exfiltration, given that the deployed signature scheme allows the utilization as subliminal channel. This thesis shows how certain high-speed signature schemes can be exploited to carry hidden information. In particular, we analyse the recent EdDSA signature scheme, which yields substantial future potential, as well as the class of Multivariate Quadratic (MQ) signature schemes. We discuss how an adversary can proceed to embed and recover subliminal information and what bit rate the adversary can achieve for transmitting hidden information. Scenarios like signed NTP broadcasts, signed sensor data transmissions and the TLS key exchange are depicted, where the existence of a subliminal channel gives rise to new attack possibilities threatening network security. To confirm these findings we discuss the results of performed experiments, which attest a considerable subliminal bandwidth to the analysed signature schemes. Furthermore, we depict several methods for preventing the exploitation of subliminal channels in EdDSA, but we have to conclude that none of them is viable in a practical situation, reinforcing the threats that originate from the described subliminal channels.
