description: We study the notions of continuous orbit equivalence and eventual one-sided conjugacy of finitely-aligned higher-rank graphs and two-sided conjugacy of row-finite higher-rank graphs with finitely many vertices and no sinks or sources. We show that there is a continuous orbit equivalence between two finitely-aligned higher-rank graphs that preserves the periodicity of boundary paths if and only if the boundary path groupoids are isomorphic, and characterise continuous orbit equivalence, eventual one-sided conjugacy, and two-sided conjugacy of higher-rank graphs in terms of the $C^*$-algebras and the Kumjian-Pask algebras of the higher-rank graphs.

description: In the present paper we generalize the original work of C.W. Misner \cite{M69q} about the quantum dynamics of the Bianchi type IX geometry near the cosmological singularity. We extend the analysis to the generic inhomogeneous universe by solving the super-momentum constraint and outlining the dynamical decoupling of spatial points. Firstly, we discuss the classical evolution of the model in terms of the Hamilton-Jacobi approach as applied to the super-momentum and super-Hamiltonian constraints; then we quantize it in the approximation of a square potential well after an ADM reduction of the dynamics with respect to the super-momentum constraint only. Such a reduction relies on a suitable form for the generic three-metric tensor which allows the use of its three functions as the new spatial coordinates. We get a functional representation of the quantum dynamics which is equivalent to the Misner-like one when extended point by point, since the Hilbert space factorizes into $\infty^3$ independent components due to the parametric role that the three-coordinates assume in the asymptotic potential term. Finally, we discuss the conditions for having a semiclassical behavior of the dynamics and we recognize that this already corresponds to having mean occupation numbers of order $\mathcal{O}(10^2)$.

description: We report a series of robust empirical observations, demonstrating that deep Neural Networks learn the examples in both the training and test sets in a similar order. This phenomenon is observed in all the commonly used benchmarks we evaluated, including many image classification benchmarks, and one text classification benchmark. While this phenomenon is strongest for models of the same architecture, it also crosses architectural boundaries -- models of different architectures start by learning the same examples, after which the more powerful model may continue to learn additional examples. We further show that this pattern of results reflects the interplay between the way neural networks learn benchmark datasets. Thus, when fixing the architecture, we show synthetic datasets where this pattern ceases to exist. When fixing the dataset, we show that other learning paradigms may learn the data in a different order. We hypothesize that our results reflect how neural networks discover structure in natural datasets.

description: Order diagrams are an important tool to visualize the complex structure of ordered sets. Favorable drawings of order diagrams, i.e., easily readable for humans, are hard to come by, even for small ordered sets. Many attempts were made to transfer classical graph drawing approaches to order diagrams. Although these methods produce satisfying results for some ordered sets, they unfortunately perform poorly in general. In this work we present the novel algorithm DimDraw to draw order diagrams. This algorithm is based on a relation between the dimension of an ordered set and the bipartiteness of a corresponding graph.

Our main result is that the mechanism works already in the minimal version of the model and new sources of CP violation emerges as an effect of new physics at energies higher than the electroweak scale.

description: Diffusion MRI measures of the human brain provide key insight into microstructural variations across individuals and into the impact of central nervous system diseases and disorders. One approach to extract information from diffusion signals has been to use biologically relevant analytical models to link millimetre scale diffusion MRI measures with microscale influences. The other approach has been to represent diffusion as an anomalous transport process and infer microstructural information from the different anomalous diffusion equation parameters. In this study, we investigated how parameters of various anomalous diffusion models vary with age in the human brain white matter, particularly focusing on the corpus callosum. We first unified several established anomalous diffusion models (the super-diffusion, sub-diffusion, quasi-diffusion and fractional Bloch-Torrey models) under the continuous time random walk modelling framework. This unification allows a consistent parameter fitting strategy to be applied from which meaningful model parameter comparisons can be made. We then provided a novel way to derive the diffusional kurtosis imaging (DKI) model, which is shown to be a degree two approximation of the sub-diffusion model. This link between the DKI and sub-diffusion models led to a new robust technique for generating maps of kurtosis and diffusivity using the sub-diffusion parameters \b{eta}_SUB and D_SUB. Superior tissue contrast is achieved in kurtosis maps based on the sub-diffusion model. 7T diffusion weighted MRI data for 65 healthy participants in the age range 19-78 years was used in this study. Results revealed that anomalous diffusion model parameters α and \b{eta} have shown consistent positive correlation with age in the corpus callosum, indicating α and \b{eta} are sensitive to tissue microstructural changes in aging.

In the shadow of your wings

description: This compilation of poems entitled “In the Shadow of Your Wings” represents the work of four semesters in the graduate program for creative writing at Rutgers University – Camden. Most of this material has been composed over the last six months, since I have returned to the Midwest to work and write during the pandemic. However, to me it is the culmination of a long progress that began my first weeks in the program in 2018. I would like to acknowledge that progress and the teachers who made it possible. For any sense of body the poems might achieve, I thank Gregory Pardlo who taught me to feel for form and to construct a poem with integrity. I also thank Pat Rosal who helped me become attuned to my own voice and to deal bravely with what it reveals to me. And lastly, I thank Lisa Zeidner who encouraged me to cross this finish line and to continue ahead in this work, who helped bring this thesis into a collected whole and gave these pieces more clarity and sharpness with her generous guidance. As a title, “In the Shadow of Your Wings” frames the thesis’ central desires for peace, presence, and home, while cuing the ironies that arise in the struggle to find these things. The shadow of G-d’s wings is traditionally understood to be a safe harbor (wings in nature, likewise, may be consoling or inspiring), but a shadow suggests a compromising darkness, a blindness even, that comes from this dependency. The loneliness which accompanies the passivity of this posture, in the case of these poems, seeks refuge from a world that demands engagement and action as it suffers crises of injustice and apathy on many fronts. Ultimately, I hope the arc of this thesis demonstrates the possibilities for redemption, renewal, and for the courage to live for others despite darkness, hostility, and loss. Once again, I thank the English Graduate Department at Rutgers University – Camden, the Writers House, the wise and talented cohorts who taught me everything else, as well as my beloved friends, Godcaster and Brooke Wolters.
Dual effect of surface plasmons in light transmission through perforated metal films

description: The light transmission through square and rectangular holes in a metal film has been studied. By taking account of plasma response of real metal on hole walls as well as metal surface, an analytical result for the transmission has been deduced, which agrees well with the experiments. We show that the light transmission involves both the diffraction modes and the surface plasmons. Strong coupling of diffraction modes to surface plasmon polariton results in the transmission minima, whereas the coupling to cavity surface plasmon leads to the transmission maxima. The results suggest a dual-effect of the surface plasmons.

description: We statistically estimate the conversion rate of the energy released during an active-region transient brightening to Doppler motion and thermal and non-thermal energies. We used two types of datasets for the energy estimation and detection of transient brightenings. One includes spectroscopic images of Fe xiv, Fe xv, and Fe xvi lines observed by the Hinode/EUV Imaging Spectrometer. The other includes images obtained from the 211 Åchannel of the Solar Dynamics Observatory/Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA). The observed active region was NOAA 11890 on November 09, 2013, and the day after that. As a result, the released Doppler motion and non-thermal energies were found to be approximately 0.1 \-- 1% and 10 \-- 100% of the change in the amount of thermal energy in each enhancement, respectively. Using this conversion rate, we estimated the contribution of the total energy flux of AIA transient brightenings to the active region heating to be at most 2% of the conduction and radiative losses.

description: Model View Definition (MVD) is the standard methodology to define the data exchange requirements and rule constraints for Building Information Models (BIMs). In this paper, the MVDLite algorithm is proposed for the fast validation of MVD rules. A "rule chain" structure is introduced to combine the data templates, constraint statements, and logical interconnections in an input mvdXML ruleset, which leads to fast filtering of data nodes through the rule chain. By establishing the correspondence of each prefix of the rule chain with a string, the deep-caching strategy further improves efficiency. The outperforming experimental results show that our algorithm significantly reduces the running time of MVD validation on large real-world BIMs.

It is shown that the renormalization can be performed while preserving all relevant symmetries, in particular chiral symmetry, and that renormalized diagrams respect the standard power counting rules. As an application we calculate the chiral expansion of the nucleon mass to order O(q^6).

description: IEEE 802.11p standard defines wireless technology protocols that enable vehicular transportation and manage traffic efficiency. A major challenge in the development of this technology is ensuring communication reliability in highly dynamic vehicular environments, where the wireless communication channels are doubly selective, thus making channel estimation and tracking a relevant problem to investigate. In this paper, a novel deep learning (DL)-based weighted interpolation estimator is proposed to accurately estimate vehicular channels especially in high mobility scenarios. The proposed estimator is based on modifying the pilot allocation of the IEEE 802.11p standard so that more transmission data rates are achieved. Extensive numerical experiments demonstrate that the developed estimator significantly outperforms the recently proposed DL-based frame-by-frame estimators in different vehicular scenarios, while substantially reducing the overall computational complexity.

description: The effect of strain due to lattice mismatch and of ferromagnetic (FM) exchange field on superconductivity (SC) in NbN-CoPt bilayers is investigated. Two different bilayer systems with reversed deposition sequence are grown on MgO (001) single crystals. While robust superconductivity with high critical temperature (T_c ~ 15.3 K) and narrow transition width DelT_c ~ 0.4 K) is seen in two types of CoPt-NbN/MgO heterostructures where the magnetic anisotropy of CoPt is in-plane in one case and out-of-plane in the other, the NbN-CoPt/MgO system shows markedly suppressed SC response. The reduced SC order parameter of this system, which manifests itself in Tc, temperature dependence of critical current density J_c (T), and angular (Phi) variation of flux-flow resistivity Rho_f is shown to be a signature of the structure of NbN film and not a result of the exchange field of CoPt. The Rho_f (H,T,Phi) data further suggest that the domain walls in the CoPt film are of the Neel type and hence do not cause any flux in the superconducting layer. A small, but distinct increase in the low-field critical current of the CoPt-NbN couple is seen when the magnetic layer has perpendicular anisotropy.

description: With the advent of stem cell therapy for degenerative diseases and disorders, the need to track the homing, survival, migration, differentiation and pathophysiology of stem cells administered in a clinical study is crucial. Photoacoustic imaging (PAI) or Optoacoustic imaging combines optical absorption contrast with ultrasonic resolution and utilises both endogenous and exogenous contrast agents for gathering molecular information in real-time. This enables longitudinal detection at clinically relevant penetration depths in vivo. The motivation of the thesis is to explore the imaging capability of multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) using both exogenous and endogenous contrast agents. First, gold nanostars were designed and developed to have absorption in the second near-infrared window, particularly at 1064 nm. Moreover, the surface functionalisation with Chitosan improved the cellular labelling efficiency with gold nanostars. This translated to the in vitro visualisation of 50 mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) in 1 µL volume. Next, the therapeutic response of the MSCs was monitored after labelling with gold nanostars in an osteoarthritis murine model. This study revealed that the labelled stem cells were tracked for 80 days in the knee while the gold nanostars administered on their own were cleared from the knee between 5 - 10 days. Most importantly, it was observed that the gold nanostars did not interfere with the regenerative properties of the MSCs and demonstrated a therapeutic response similar to the animals administered with unlabelled MSCs. Finally, the capability of MSOT to acquire functional information using endogenous contrast in comparison to laser Doppler imaging (LDI) was demonstrated in a hind limb ischaemia murine model. In comparison to LDI, MSOT facilitated a three-dimensional volumetric quantification of total haemoglobin and oxygen saturation while keeping extraneous variability to a minimum. Moreover, the need for using an exogenous contrast agent like gold nanostars in conjunction with PAI is demonstrated.

description: The geometric phase induced in an auxiliary qubit by a many-body system is calculated and discussed. Two kinds of coupling between the auxiliary qubit and the many-body system are considered, which lead to dephasing and dissipation in the qubit, respectively. As an example, we consider the XY spin-chain dephasingly couple to a qubit, the geometric phase induced in the qubit is presented and discussed. The results show that the geometric phase might be used to signal the critical points of the many-body system, and it tends to zero with the parameters of the many-body system going away from the critical points.

description: This paper proposes a way of doing type theory informally, assuming a cubical style of reasoning. It can thus be viewed as a first step toward a cubical alternative to the program of informalization of type theory carried out in the homotopy type theory book for dependent type theory augmented with axioms for univalence and higher inductive types. We adopt a cartesian cubical type theory proposed by Angiuli, Brunerie, Coquand, Favonia, Harper, and Licata as the implicit foundation, confining our presentation to elementary results such as function extensionality, the derivation of weak connections and path induction, the groupoid structure of types, and the Eckmman-Hilton duality.

description: In this paper we compare the experimental HERA data with the next-to-leading order approach (NLO) of Ref.[C.~Contreras, E.~Levin, R.~Meneses and M.~Sanhueza,Eur. Phys. J. C 80 (2020) no.11, 1029). This approach includes the re-summed NLO corrections to the kernel of the evolution equation, the correct asymptotic behaviour in the NLO at $τ= r^2 Q^2_s \,\gg\,1$; the impact parameter dependence of the saturation scale in accord with the Froissarrt theorem as well as the non-linear corrections. In this paper, we successfully describe the experimental data with the quality, which is not worse, than in the leading order fits with larger number of the phenomenological parameters. It is demonstrated, that the data could be described, taking into account both the diffusion on $\ln(k_T)$, which stems from perturbative QCD, and the Gribov's diffusion in impact parameters. It is shown an ability to describe the data at rather large values of $α_S$.

description: Embedding large and high dimensional data into low dimensional vector spaces is a necessary task to computationally cope with contemporary data sets. Superseding latent semantic analysis recent approaches like word2vec or node2vec are well established tools in this realm. In the present paper we add to this line of research by introducing fca2vec, a family of embedding techniques for formal concept analysis (FCA). Our investigation contributes to two distinct lines of research. First, we enable the application of FCA notions to large data sets. In particular, we demonstrate how the cover relation of a concept lattice can be retrieved from a computational feasible embedding. Secondly, we show an enhancement for the classical node2vec approach in low dimension. For both directions the overall constraint of FCA of explainable results is preserved. We evaluate our novel procedures by computing fca2vec on different data sets like, wiki44 (a dense part of the Wikidata knowledge graph), the Mushroom data set and a publication network derived from the FCA community.

description: While artificial intelligence has been applied to control players' decisions in board games for over half a century, little attention is given to games with no player competition. Pandemic is an exemplar collaborative board game where all players coordinate to overcome challenges posed by events occurring during the game's progression. This paper proposes an artificial agent which controls all players' actions and balances chances of winning versus risk of losing in this highly stochastic environment. The agent applies a Rolling Horizon Evolutionary Algorithm on an abstraction of the game-state that lowers the branching factor and simulates the game's stochasticity. Results show that the proposed algorithm can find winning strategies more consistently in different games of varying difficulty. The impact of a number of state evaluation metrics is explored, balancing between optimistic strategies that favor winning and pessimistic strategies that guard against losing.

description: A self-consistent non-minimal non-Abelian Einstein-Yang-Mills model, containing three phenomenological coupling constants, is formulated. The ansatz of a vanishing Yang-Mills induction is considered as a particular case of the self-duality requirement for the gauge field. Such an ansatz is shown to allow obtaining an exact solution of the self-consistent set of equations when the space-time has a constant curvature. An example describing a pure magnetic gauge field in the de Sitter cosmological model is discussed in detail.

description: Frictional contacts lead to the formation of a surface layer called the third body, consisting of wear particles and structures resulting from their agglomerates. Its behavior and properties at the nanoscale control the macroscopic tribological performance. It is known that wear particles and surface topography evolve with time and mutually influence one another. However, the formation of the mature third body is largely uncharted territory and the properties of its early stages are unknown. Here we show how a third body initially consisting of particles acting as roller bearings transitions into a shear-band-like state by forming adhesive bridges between the particles. Using large-scale atomistic simulations on a brittle model material, we find that this transition is controlled by the growth and increasing disorganization of the particles with increasing sliding distance. Sliding resistance and wear rate are at first controlled by the surface roughness, but upon agglomeration wear stagnates and friction becomes solely dependent on the real contact area in accordance with the plasticity theory of contact by Bowden and Tabor.

description: Fractional statistics is one of the most intriguing features of topological phases in 2D. In particular, the so-called non-Abelian statistics plays a crucial role towards realizing universal topological quantum computation. Recently, the study of topological phases has been extended to 3D and it has been proposed that loop-like extensive objects can also carry fractional statistics. In this work, we systematically study the so-called three-loop braiding statistics for loop-like excitations for 3D fermionic topological phases. Most surprisingly, we discovered new types of non-Abelian three-loop braiding statistics that can only be realized in fermionic systems (or equivalently bosonic systems with fermionic particles). The simplest example of such non-Abelian braiding statistics can be realized in interacting fermionic systems with a gauge group $\mathbb{Z}_2 \times \mathbb{Z}_8$ or $\mathbb{Z}_4 \times \mathbb{Z}_4$, and the physical origin of non-Abelian statistics can be viewed as attaching an open Majorana chain onto a pair of linked loops, which will naturally reduce to the well known Ising non-Abelian statistics via the standard dimension reduction scheme. Moreover, due to the correspondence between gauge theories with fermionic particles and classifying fermionic symmetry-protected topological (FSPT) phases with unitary symmetries, our study also give rise to an alternative way to classify FSPT phases with unitary symmetries. We further compare the classification results for FSPT phases with arbitrary Abelian total symmetry $G^f$ and find systematical agreement with previous studies using other methods. We believe that the proposed framework of understanding three-loop braiding statistics (including both Abelian and non-Abelian cases) in interacting fermion systems applies for generic fermonic topological phases in 3D.

description: A substantial increase in research into the lives of children has been experienced in Ireland over the last few years. This increase is not only in the amount of research undertaken but also in the multi-disciplinary range of such research. Compared to requirements in research with adult research participants, research with children faces additional ethical challenges. These challenges are related especially to children s decision-making capacity, their vulnerability and the particular role of parents or guardians in the research process. The strong demand for protecting children from harm needs to be balanced with the equally urgent need for well-founded research findings that can help improve services for children. This review discusses the current situation of research ethics committees and research ethics review of childrens research in Ireland, drawing on views of relevant stakeholders, including REC chairs, REC administrators, REC members, researchers, parents and children.

description: We assessed the role of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) strains viz. Burkholdera cepacia SE4, Promicromonospora sp. SE188 and Acinetobacter calcoaceticus SE370 in counteracting salinity and drought stress to cucumber plants. The control plants had stunted growth, while PGPR-treated plants had significantly higher biomass and chlorophyll contents under salinity and drought stress. The ameliorative effects of PGPR-application were also evidenced by the increased water potential and decreased electrolytic leakage. The PGPR-applied plants had reduced sodium ion concentration, while the potassium and phosphorus were abundantly present as compared to control under stress. Oxidative stress was mitigated by PGPR through reduced activities of catalase, peroxidase, polyphenol oxidase, and total polyphenol as compared to control. The control plants showed up-regulation of stress-responsive abscisic acid as compared to PGPR application, while salicylic acid and gibberellin 4 were significantly higher in PGPR. In conclusion, the PGPR application might be used in marginalized agricultural lands to increase crop productivity.
On the High Energy Behaviour of The Total Cross Section in the QCD Dipole Model

description: In this paper we perform a numerical study of the tranverse expansion of hadronic scattering amplitudes in the dipole picture of high energy QCD. We go beyond the mean field approximation by including fluctuations and also wave function saturation effects, and the evolution with both a fixed and a running coupling is investigated. We also study the nonperturbative aspects, and as has been predicted earlier, our results indicate that the Froissart-Martin bound is saturated once confinement effects are included in the evolution. Thus the total cross section increases proportional to the square of the logarithm of the cms energy. Furthermore it is seen that we obtain a reasonable value for the proportionality coefficient. The impact of saturation and non-leading effects on this coefficient is also studied.

description: We compute the limit shapes of the Young diagrams of the minimal difference $p$ partitions and provide a simple physical interpretation for the limit shapes. We also calculate the asymptotic distribution of the largest part of the Young diagram and show that the scaled distribution has a Gumbel form for all $p$. This Gumbel statistics for the largest part remains unchanged even for general partitions of the form $E=\sum_i n_i i^{1/ν}$ with $ν>0$ where $n_i$ is the number of times the part $i$ appears.

description: We investigated effects of annealing time on structural and magnetic properties of the L10-FePt nanoparticles synthesized by the SiO2-nanoreacter method. The magnetization and powder X-ray diffraction studies revealed that the annealing at 900 oC for 9 hr could convert all of the fcc-nanoparticles to the well-crystallized L10 structure with a large coercivity while keeping their particle size. Such monodisperse and highly crystalline L10-FePt nanoparticles are a promising material for the realization of ultra-high density recording.

description: We investigate the stability and stabilization of the cubic focusing Klein-Gordon equation around static solutions on the closed ball of radius L in $\mathbb{R}^3$. First we show that the system is linearly unstable near the static solution $u\equiv 1$ for any dissipative boundary condition $u_t+ au_ν=0, a\in (0, 1)$. Then by means of boundary controls (both open-loop and closed-loop) we stabilize the system around this equilibrium exponentially under the condition $\sqrt{2}L\neq \tan \sqrt{2}L$. Furthermore, we show that the equilibrium can be stabilized with any rate less than $ \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2L} \log{\frac{1+a}{1-a}}$, provided $(a,L)$ does not belong to a certain zero set. This rate is sharp.

description: The ability to independently deploy parts of a software system is one of the cornerstones of modern software development, and allows for these parts to evolve independently and at different speeds. A major challenge of such independent deployment, however, is to ensure that despite their individual evolution, the interfaces between interacting parts remain compatible. This is especially important for enterprise software systems, which are often highly integrated and based on heterogenous IT infrastructures. Although several approaches for interface evolution have been proposed, many of these rely on the developer to adhere to certain rules, but provide little guidance for doing so. In this paper, we present an approach for interface evolution that is easy to use for developers, and also addresses typical challenges of heterogenous enterprise software, especially legacy system integration.

The transformations of Job in modern German literature
Creators: name: Mastag, Horst Dieter
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In modern times German authors have made ample use of the Job-theme. The study examines the transformations that the story of Job has undergone in German narrative and dramatic works from Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's Der neue Hiob (1878) to Fritz Zorn's Mars (1977). The most striking feature of these works lies in their diverse characterization of the Job-figure. As a mythical figure he remains synonymous with the sufferer, but he may be characterized as patient or impatient, humble or arrogant, innocent or guilty, rich or poor, courageous or cowardly; he may be a Jew or a Christian, a Nazi or an anti-Nazi, a believer or an agnostic. The authors have retained most of the characters included in the Old Testament story. The Job-figure usually has a wife (who doubts and despises God), a number of children (who die in an impending disaster), and several friends (who accuse him of wrong-doing). Concerning the plot, most writers have excluded any prologue in heaven. The suffering of the Job-figure (usually brought on by the loss of loved ones, by physical pain and by mental agony) is always central to the story. More often than not, however, the modern Job-figure exhibits a form of impatience and impiety once misfortune has struck. A theophany (literal confrontation with God) does not occur, but a divine agent may be provided in the form of a dream or a vision, or indirectly by nature. An epilogue (the restoration of Job's health, possessions and children) is usually omitted, but some authors imply a renewal of Job, so as to suggest a purpose for and a hope after his arduous trials.
