description: Ab initio calculations of the electric polarization of correlation-driven insulating materials, namely Mott insulators, have not been possible so far. Using a combination of density functional theory and dynamical-mean-field theory we study the electric polarization of the Mott insulator Sr$_{0.5}$Ba$_{0.5}$MnO$_{3}$. We predict a ferroelectric polarization of $\simeq 16.5 μC/cm^2$ in the high temperature paramagnetic phase and recover the measured value of $\simeq 13.3 μC/cm^2$ in the low temperature antiferromagnetic phase. Our calculations reveal that the driving force for the ferroelectricity, the hybridization between Mn e$_g$ and O p orbitals, is suppressed by correlations, in particular by the Hund coupling and by the onset of magnetic order. They also confirm that the half-filled Mn $t_{2g}$ orbitals give rise to the antiferromagnetic Mott phase. This magnetic ordering leads to changes in the ionic polar displacement and in turn to the electronic polarization. In addition, for a fixed ionic displacement, we find that there is a reduction in the electronic contribution due to partial magnetic polarization of the Mn e$_g$ orbitals. The reduction of the polarization due to ionic displacement dominates over the additional electronic part, hence the net magneto-electric coupling is negative.

description: D1.2 SECURITY THREAT MODELING FOR AI BASED SYSTEM ARCHITECTUR The security of machine learning-based systems is not sufficiently addressed at the present time. Methodologies for modelling threats and assessing the security posture of machine learning-based systems are required. This document reviews existing approaches to threat modelling conventional and machine learning-based systems. We identify their limitations and provide improvement directions. Among these solutions, we identify a comprehensive list of vulnerabilities exposed by machine learning-based systems and exemplify how they can be used to infer the extent to which machine learning-based systems are exposed to security threats. We perform threat modelling of both centralized and distributed training and inference paradigms. The result of this analysis enables the identification of fine-grained security requirements for machine learning-based systems.

description: Spoken Term Detection (STD) focuses on finding instances of a particular spoken word or phrase in an audio corpus. Most STD systems have a two-step pipeline, ASR followed by search. Two approaches to search are common, Confusion Network (CN) based search and Finite State Transducer (FST) based search. In this paper, we examine combination of these two different search approaches, using the same ASR output. We find that the CN search performs better on shorter queries, and FST search performs better on longer queries. By combining the different search results from the same ASR decoding, we achieve better performance compared to either search approach on its own. We also find that this improvement is additive to the usual combination of decoder results using different modeling techniques.

description: O texto investiga atores sociais estratégicos para promover a ocupação do território da América Portuguesa no início da Idade Moderna, sem os quais dificilmente a colonização teria se viabilizado: os santos e mártires católicos. Os santos católicos se fizerampresentes na América tanto por meio de suas imagens e narrativas quanto por sua presença física, por meio de suas relíquias sagradas, como as pegadas de SãoTomé encontradas na América, e também as relíquias de santos transportadas da Europa para o novo continente. As relíquias sagradas foram objetos de grande veneração pelos cristãos, mas também investidas de sentidos pelos índios. O texto investiga também o significado da construção contemporânea da santidade, po rmeio da busca- e por vezes da conquista - do martírio por missionários, principalmente jesuítas e franciscanos. Assim como as relíquias sagradas, o martírio e a figura do mártir constituíram elementos de tradução entre as culturas católica e ameríndia.

description: Young stellar associations hold a star formation record that can persist for millions of years, revealing the progression of star formation long after the dispersal of the natal cloud. To identify nearby young stellar populations that trace this progression, we have designed a comprehensive framework for the identification of young stars, and use it to identify ~3x10⁴ candidate young stars within a distance of 333 pc using Gaia DR2. Applying the HDBSCAN clustering algorithm to this sample, we identify 27 top-level groups, nearly half of which have little to no presence in previous literature. Ten of these groups have visible substructure, including notable young associations such as Orion, Perseus, Taurus, and Sco-Cen. We provide a complete subclustering analysis on all groups with substructure, using age estimates to reveal each region's star formation history. The patterns we reveal include an apparent star formation origin for Sco-Cen along a semicircular arc, as well as clear evidence for sequential star formation moving away from that arc with a propagation speed of ~4 km s⁻¹ (~4 pc Myr⁻¹). We also identify earlier bursts of star formation in Perseus and Taurus that predate current, kinematically identical active star-forming events, suggesting that the mechanisms that collect gas can spark multiple generations of star formation, punctuated by gas dispersal and cloud regrowth. The large spatial scales and long temporal scales on which we observe star formation offer a bridge between the processes within individual molecular clouds and the broad forces guiding star formation at galactic scales.

description: Multiword expressions (MWEs) are quite frequent in languages such as English, but their diversity, the scarcity of individual MWE types, and contextual ambiguity have presented obstacles to corpus-based studies and NLP systems addressing them as a class. Here we advocate for a comprehensive annotation approach: proceeding sentence by sentence, our annotators manually group tokens into MWEs according to guidelines that cover a broad range of multiword phenomena. Under this scheme, we have fully annotated an English web corpus for multiword expressions, including those containing gaps.

description: Sequential Monte Carlo (SMC) algorithms were originally designed for estimating intractable conditional expectations within state-space models, but are now routinely used to generate approximate samples in the context of general-purpose Bayesian inference. In particular, SMC algorithms are often used as subroutines within larger Monte Carlo schemes, and in this context, the demands placed on SMC are different: control of mean-squared error is insufficient---one needs to control the divergence from the target distribution directly. Towards this goal, we introduce the conditional adaptive resampling particle filter, building on the work of Gordon, Salmond, and Smith (1993), Andrieu, Doucet, and Holenstein (2010), and Whiteley, Lee, and Heine (2016). By controlling a novel notion of effective sample size, the $\infty$-ESS, we establish the efficiency of the resulting SMC sampling algorithm, providing an adaptive resampling extension of the work of Andrieu, Lee, and Vihola (2013). We apply our results to arrive at new divergence bounds for SMC samplers with adaptive resampling as well as an adaptive resampling version of the Particle Gibbs algorithm with the same geometric-ergodicity guarantees as its nonadaptive counterpart.

description: The interplay among differential geometry, statistical physics, and quantum information science has been increasingly gaining theoretical interest in recent years. In this paper, we present an explicit analysis of the Bures and Sjoqvist metrics over the manifolds of thermal states for specific spin qubit and the superconducting flux qubit Hamiltonian models. While the two metrics equally reduce to the Fubini-Study metric in the asymptotic limiting case of the inverse temperature approaching infinity for both Hamiltonian models, we observe that the two metrics are generally different when departing from the zero-temperature limit. In particular, we discuss this discrepancy in the case of the superconducting flux Hamiltonian model. We conclude the two metrics differ in the presence of a nonclassical behavior specified by the noncommutativity of neighboring mixed quantum states. Such a noncommutativity, in turn, is quantified by the two metrics in different manners. Finally, we briefly discuss possible observable consequences of this discrepancy between the two metrics when using them to predict critical and/or complex behavior of physical systems of interest in quantum information science.

description: Latent linear dynamical systems with Bernoulli observations provide a powerful modeling framework for identifying the temporal dynamics underlying binary time series data, which arise in a variety of contexts such as binary decision-making and discrete stochastic processes (e.g., binned neural spike trains). Here we develop a spectral learning method for fast, efficient fitting of probit-Bernoulli latent linear dynamical system (LDS) models. Our approach extends traditional subspace identification methods to the Bernoulli setting via a transformation of the first and second sample moments. This results in a robust, fixed-cost estimator that avoids the hazards of local optima and the long computation time of iterative fitting procedures like the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. In regimes where data is limited or assumptions about the statistical structure of the data are not met, we demonstrate that the spectral estimate provides a good initialization for Laplace-EM fitting. Finally, we show that the estimator provides substantial benefits to real world settings by analyzing data from mice performing a sensory decision-making task.

description: This paper explores the role of local structural conditions that facilitate or hinder violence when enmity is present between parties. This is illustrated by examining violence among street gangs. Using structural balance theory, the current research investigates whether certain triadic structures in which two rival gangs i and j are related to a third gang with either an ally or rival relationship is linked to the level of violence between i and j. Using multiple regression quadratic assignment procedure (MRQAP), the data on inter-gang relations and violent incidents among the gangs in Long Beach, CA, are analyzed. Structural imbalance, which indicates the lack of clear coalition patterns and a dominance relation, increases violence between rival gangs. On the other hand, the effect of balanced structures on violence is more complex. Balanced structures are much less violent, however, a gang will initiate violence if by doing so it can expect to reinforce its dominant position.

description: Upper atmospheres of Hot Jupiters are subject to extreme radiation conditions that can result in rapid atmospheric escape. The composition and structure of the upper atmospheres of these planets are affected by the high-energy spectrum of the host star. This emission depends on stellar type and age, which are thus important factors in understanding the behaviour of exoplanetary atmospheres. In this study, we focus on Extrasolar Giant Planets (EPGs) orbiting K and M dwarf stars. XUV spectra for three different stars - epsilon Eridani, AD Leonis and AU Microscopii - are constructed using a coronal model. Neutral density and temperature profiles in the upper atmosphere of hypothetical EGPs orbiting these stars are then obtained from a fluid model, incorporating atmospheric chemistry and taking atmospheric escape into account. We find that a simple scaling based solely on the host star's X-ray emission gives large errors in mass loss rates from planetary atmospheres and so we have derived a new method to scale the EUV regions of the solar spectrum based upon stellar X-ray emission. This new method produces an outcome in terms of the planet's neutral upper atmosphere very similar to that obtained using a detailed coronal model of the host star. Our results indicate that in planets subjected to radiation from active stars, the transition from Jeans escape to a regime of hydrodynamic escape at the top of the atmosphere occurs at larger orbital distances than for planets around low activity stars (such as the Sun).

description: We perform new longterm (15-16 orbits) simulations of coalescing binary neutron stars in numerical relativity using an updated Einstein's equation solver, employing low-eccentricity initial data, and modeling the neutron stars by a piecewise polytropic equation of state. A convergence study shows that our new results converge more rapidly than the third order and using the determined convergence order, we construct an extrapolated waveform for which the estimated total phase error should be less than 1 radian. We then compare the extrapolated waveforms with those calculated by the latest effective-one-body (EOB) formalism in which the so-called tidal deformability, higher post-Newtonian corrections, and gravitational self-force effects are taken into account. We show that for a binary of compact neutron stars with their radius 11.1 km, the waveform by the EOB formalism agrees quite well with the numerical waveform so that the total phase error is smaller than 1 radian for the total phase of $\sim 200$ radian up to the merger. By contrast, for a binary of less compact neutron stars with their radius 13.6 km, the EOB and numerical waveforms disagree with each other in the last few wave cycles, resulting in the total phase error of $\sim 3$ radian.

description: This dissertation is intended for the advancement of methodology and techniques used in the modeling of development. There are three loosely tied essays of which this contribution is comprised.

The first chapter is entitled ‘Finite Sample Effects in Group-Based Trajectory Models." It analyses a very intricate and specific aspect of the broader body of work credited to Daniel Nagin regarding group-based trajectory models. These models, which are an application of finite mixture modeling, are used to model population heterogeneity in the development of various types of behavior such as physical aggression or anxiety over age or time.

The second chapter is entitled "Consequences of a Violation of the Conditional Independence Assumption in Group-Based Trajectory Models." This chapter again addresses another nuance of the group-based trajectory model, which, in particular, is often a criticism of the methodology. Specifically, in the specification of these groupbased models trajectory models, the following assumption is made.

The third chapter is entitled "Accounting for Selection to Understand the Effects of Group Daycare on the Development of Physical Aggression." This chapter considers the problem of estimating casual effects of a treatment on an outcome of interest, which is a problem often addressed by researchers.

A expansão deste culto, bem como as suas origens nos tempos apostólicos são directamente relatados e patenteados na cronologia portuguesa da expansão. Além disso, a devoção a São Tomé,Apóstolo e Mártir, desempenhará um papel importante no plano político, que, por sua vez, contribuirá para o fomento desteculto apostólico. O interesse político neste culto terá implicações no plano devocional,social e na expressão artística (peregrinações, relíquias, heranças). No nosso ponto de vista, o carácter sincrético que esta figura de mártir e santo assume no quadro do Império Português será destacado e analisado com uma ênfase especial.

description: At present the three major unknowns in neutrino oscillation parameters are the mass hierarchy, the octant of $θ_{23}$ and the CP phase $δ_{CP}$. It is well known that the presence of hierarchy$-δ_{CP}$ and octant degeneracies affects the unambiguous determination of these parameters. In this paper we show that a comprehensive way to study the remaining parameter degeneracies is in the form of a generalized hierarchy-$θ_{23}$ - $δ_{CP}$ degeneracy. We show that the wrong-hierarchy and/or wrong-octant solutions can be further classified into eight different solutions depending on whether they occur with the wrong or right value of $δ_{CP}$. These eight solutions are different from the original eightfold degenerate solutions and can exist, in principle, even if $θ_{13}$ is known. These multiple solutions, apart from affecting the determination of the true hierarchy and octant, also affect the accurate estimation of $δ_{CP}$. We identify which of these eight different degenerate solutions can occur in the test ($θ_{23} - δ_{CP}$) parameter space, taking the long-baseline experiment NO$ν$A running in the neutrino mode as an example. The inclusion of the NO$ν$A antineutrino run removes the wrong-octant solutions appearing with both right and wrong hierarchy. Adding T2K data to this resolves the wrong hierarchy -- right octant solutions to a large extent. The remaining wrong hierarchy solutions can be removed by combining NO$ν$A + T2K with atmospheric neutrino data. We demonstrate this using ICAL@INO as the prototype atmospheric neutrino detector. We find that the degeneracies can be resolved at the $2σ$ level by the combined data set, for the true parameter space considered in the study.

description: Rivers are the source of freshwater for any urban community and hence, monitoring of river water is an obligatory yet challenging task. This study was conducted in a subtropical urban river in India with the view of developing a quantitative approach to assess its water quality (WQ) status. For the purposes of this study, water samples were collected from five locations across the Mahananda River main streams encompassing both urbanised and non-urbanised parts of the Siliguri city during April to June of 2021 and collected samples were analysed for fourteen common WQ indicators: pH, Temperature, Conductivity, TDS, Turbidity, Total Hardness (TH), DO, BOD, COD, NO3−, PO43−, Cl−, Fecal Coliform (FC) and E. coli for assessing water quality. In order to obtain WQ status, the present study utilised the modified national sanitation foundation (NSF) water quality index (WQI) model, whereas the crucial WQ indicators were identified using the principal components analysis (PCA) technique. All WQ indicators were considered to compute the NSF-WQI except water pH and TH. Most WQ indicators were breached the guideline values of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and Indian Standards (IS) for surface water. The modified NSF-WQI results revealed that the Mahananda River water quality was “good” to “medium” quality and the water is only suitable for limited purposes under certain conditions. The findings of this study provided evidence that the river WQ is heavily influenced by urban pressures because relatively “good” WQ was found at the sampling location of the outer part of the urban area. The results of this research could be effective in improving the Mahananda River's water quality and maintaining its complex ecosystem in order to ensure sustainable urban growth.

description: This paper evaluates four explanations for industrial facilities' incorporation of
environmental considerations in their product designs (i.e., "green design"): organizational
opportunity, organizational resources, cost reduction, and environmental regulatory pressure.
Initial analyses of facility-level workplace practice and environmental data support all four
explanations. Facilities vigorously practicing cost reduction, with greater opportunities and
resource bases to engage in green design, and facing more intense environmental regulatory
pressure are substantially more likely to adopt green design. The results of multivariate analyses,
however, indicate that adoption of green design is primarily determined by organizational
opportunities and resources.

description: This paper summarizes the internal and external challenges, aims and strategies underpinning the Fischler reform. It describes in some detail the main challenges we face: environmental degradation, potential food scarcity, and financing stringency. It reaches some unusual conclusions such as: the New CAP must give primacy to world problems and needs; the reform process must continue even if third countries do not reform their own policies; the main question is not short-term competitiveness but long-term sustainability, and how best balance food demand and supply, save energy and water, and preserve the environment all at the same time; excessive bio-fuel production boosts prices and reduces food availability with minor impact on energy dependance; when food becomes scarce, current competition among crop producers for food markets will be replaced by competition among food-importing countries for supplies with producing countries imposing export limits; dwindling public support for the CAP, needs countervailing private financing for rural development. The first such instrument is the RISE Foundation just launched to promote Rural Investment Support for Europe.

description: Some plants undergo a great change during their adolescence, which can make juveniles and adults of the same plant species have different characteristics (called heteroblasty). In many Australian eucalypts, seedlings and resprouts have round leaves while adult trees have long leaves. Heteroblasty is uncommon but diverse across the rest of the plant kingdom. My thesis aimed to further our understanding about why heteroblasty evolved in some plants but not others, by comparing it across multiple species and investigating whether it is related to certain growth forms or habitats.
Active Ordering of Interactive Prediction Tasks

description: Many applications involve a set of prediction tasks that must be accomplished sequentially through user interaction. If the tasks are interdependent, the order in which they are posed may have a significant impact on the effective utilization of user feedback by the prediction systems, affecting their overall performance. This paper presents a novel approach for dynamically ordering a series of prediction tasks by taking into account the effect of user feedback on the performance of multiple prediction systems. The proposed approach represents a general strategy for learning incrementally during test phase when the system interacts with the end-user, who expects good performance instead of merely providing correct labels to the system. Therefore, the system must balance system benefit against user benefit when selecting items for user’s attention. We apply the proposed approach to two practical applications that involve interactive trouble report generation and document annotation, respectively. Our experiments show significant improvements in prediction performance (in terms of Mean Average Precision) using the proposed active ordering approach, as compared to baseline approaches that either determine a task order offline and hold it fixed during test phase, or do not optimize the order at all.
Bodies in Space: Towards a Queer Ecology of Contagion
Creators: name: Rudari, Federico
Publisher: name: kritische berichte - Zeitschrift für Kunst- und Kulturwissenschaften
Year: 2024

description: Bodies are essential instruments for cognition and interpretation, as well as the experience of our surroundings and the outer world. However, dominant powers have often influenced sets of ecological affordances to exercise control over bodies and their experience, where public health has been a recurrent motivation justifying critical standards, narratives, and coercive measures. This article, instead, aims at looking at the possibility of contagion as necessary to create new ecologies. Through the analysis of two installations from the Portuguese context, Ama como a estrada começa (Loving as the road begins, 2019) by João Pedro Vale and Nuno Alexandre Ferreira and Vampires in Space (2022) by Isadora Neves Marques, the disruption of the normative understanding of contagion is subverted in a celebration of encounters and fluidity (both metaphorical and literal), addressing possible ecologies between queerness and fantasy.

Form follows function? - An investigation into the effects of different affirmations on body image
Creators: name: Siebert, Inga
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023
Subjects: body image, positive affirmations, body dissatisfaction, body appreciation

description: The aim of the Master's thesis was to extend previous research findings on the influenceability of body image through positive affirmations. As a research question, it was investigated whether focusing on the functionality of the body is more beneficial than focusing on appearance. For this purpose, a study by Engeln and Imundo (2020) was conceptually replicated and extended: 211 women (M = 29.18, SD = 8.28) were randomly divided into three groups. While writing about their current thoughts, they repeated a positive affirmation every 30 seconds either related to their appearance, body functionality or a statement about their age (control group). Unlike the replicated study, there were no significant differences explained by group for negative body image, defined as dissatisfaction with the appearance of the body: F(2, 204) = 1.35, p = .262, = .01. Regarding positive body image – defined as appreciation of the body independent of appearance – mean scores were significantly higher in the functionality group than in the control group after the intervention: F(2, 204) = 4.77, p = 009, = .04. Thus, focusing on the functionality of the body when using positive affirmations can be recommended because it increases appreciation of the body. In contrast to the replicated study, the use of appearance-related affirmations does not have to be discouraged because no effects were found in the evaluation of appearance.
installative Körperraum als Ökosystem. Lygia Clarks A Casa é o Corpo (1968)
Creators: name: Silbermann, Charlotte
Publisher: name: kritische berichte - Zeitschrift für Kunst- und Kulturwissenschaften
Year: 2024

description: Ausgehend von der Dekonstruktion des ganzheitlichen Körperbildes seit der Kunst der Moderne arbeitet der Text mit Rückgriff auf die feministische Kunstwissenschaft das Sujet des installativen Körperraumes seit den 1960er Jahren heraus und bettet es in aktuelle Diskurse des Neuen Materialismus ein. Die Installation A Casa é o Corpo (1968) der brasilianischen Künstlerin Lygia Clark wird dabei als Schlüsselarbeit betrachtet. Eine Neubewertung der Arbeit, die gängige Interpretationen der Installationen als Ort der Wiedergeburt erweitert, soll das Körperhaus als Ökosystem erfahrbar machen. A Casa é o Corpo ist dann kein autonomer Subjektraum mehr sondern ein sympoietisches Gefüge.

description: We develop a supersense taxonomy for adjectives, based on that of GermaNet, and apply it to English adjectives in WordNet using human annotation and supervised classification. Results show that accuracy for automatic adjective type classification is high, but synsets are considerably more difficult to classify, even for trained human annotators. We release the manually annotated data, the classifier, and the induced supersense labeling of 12,304 WordNet adjective synsets
