description: We measure the star formation quenching efficiency and timescale in cluster environments. Our method uses N-body simulations to estimate the probability distribution of possible orbits for a sample of observed SDSS galaxies in and around clusters based on their position and velocity offsets from their host cluster. We study the relationship between their star formation rates and their likely orbital histories via a simple model in which star formation is quenched once a delay time after infall has elapsed. Our orbit library method is designed to isolate the environmental effect on the star formation rate due to a galaxy's present-day host cluster from `pre-processing' in previous group hosts. We find that quenching of satellite galaxies of all stellar masses in our sample ($10^{9}-10^{11.5}\,{\rm M}_\odot$) by massive ($> 10^{13}\,{\rm M}_\odot$) clusters is essentially $100$ per cent efficient. Our fits show that all galaxies quench on their first infall, approximately at or within a Gyr of their first pericentric passage. There is little variation in the onset of quenching from galaxy-to-galaxy: the spread in this time is at most $\sim 2$ Gyr at fixed $M_*$. Higher mass satellites quench earlier, with very little dependence on host cluster mass in the range probed by our sample.

The Explicit Definition of Quantifiers via Hilbert's epsilon is Confluent and Terminating

description: We investigate the elimination of quantifiers in first-order formulas via Hilbert's epsilon-operator (or -binder), following Bernays' explicit definitions of the existential and the universal quantifier symbol by means of epsilon-terms. This elimination has its first explicit occurrence in the proof of the first epsilon-theorem in Hilbert-Bernays in 1939. We think that there is a lacuna in this proof w.r.t. this elimination, related to the erroneous assumption that explicit definitions always terminate. Surprisingly, to the best of our knowledge, nobody ever proved confluence or termination for this elimination procedure. Even myths on non-confluence and the openness of the termination problem are circulating. We show confluence and termination of this elimination procedure by means of a direct, straightforward, and easily verifiable proof, based on a new theorem on how to obtain termination from weak normalization.

description: Few studies have explored how forensic mental health nurses can rebuild the therapeutic relationship following an episode of physical restraint in the acute forensic setting. In this study, we aimed to redress this gap in the literature by exploring with forensic mental health nurses the factors that enable or hinder the rebuilding of the therapeutic relationship following an episode of physical restraint. A qualitative study design was used to capture participants' experiences, views and perceptions of the therapeutic relationship following an episode of physical restraint in the acute forensic setting. Data were collected through individual interviews with forensic mental health nurses (n=10) working in an acute forensic setting. Interviews were audio recorded, and transcribed verbatim and accounts were analysed using thematic analysis. Four themes were identified: ‘Building a Recovery Focused Therapeutic Relationship’; ‘Authoritarian Role’; ‘Inevitable Imbalance’; ‘Rebuilding the Therapeutic Relationship’; plus two sub-themes ‘Facilitators to rebuilding’ and ‘Barriers to rebuilding’. Findings suggest that an inevitable imbalance exists in building a recovery-focused therapeutic relationship and at times, is hindered by the authoritarian role of the forensic mental health nurse. Recommendations for changes in clinical practice and in upcoming policies should incorporate a dedicated debrief room and protected time for staff to debrief effectively following restraint. Routine post-restraint-focused clinical supervision would also be beneficial to mental health nursing staff.

description: We report the folding thermodynamics of ccUUCGgg and ccGAGAgg RNA tetraloops using atomistic molecular dynamics simulations. We obtain a previously unreported estimation of the folding free energy using parallel tempering in combination with well-tempered metadynamics. A key ingredient is the use of a recently developed metric distance, eRMSD, as a biased collective variable. We find that the native fold of both tetraloops is not the global free energy minimum using the Amber\c{hi}OL3 force field. The estimated folding free energies are 30.2kJ/mol for UUCG and 7.5 kJ/mol for GAGA, in striking disagreement with experimental data. We evaluate the viability of all possible one-dimensional backbone force field corrections. We find that disfavoring the gauche+ region of α and ζ angles consistently improves the existing force field. The level of accuracy achieved with these corrections, however, cannot be considered sufficient by judging on the basis of available thermodynamic data and solution experiments.

description: We prove that the $f$-divergences between univariate Cauchy distributions are all symmetric, and can be expressed as strictly increasing scalar functions of the symmetric chi-squared divergence. We report the corresponding scalar functions for the total variation distance, the Kullback-Leibler divergence, the squared Hellinger divergence, and the Jensen-Shannon divergence among others. Next, we give conditions to expand the $f$-divergences as converging infinite series of higher-order power chi divergences, and illustrate the criterion for converging Taylor series expressing the $f$-divergences between Cauchy distributions. We then show that the symmetric property of $f$-divergences holds for multivariate location-scale families with prescribed matrix scales provided that the standard density is even which includes the cases of the multivariate normal and Cauchy families. However, the $f$-divergences between multivariate Cauchy densities with different scale matrices are shown asymmetric. Finally, we present several metrizations of $f$-divergences between univariate Cauchy distributions and further report geometric embedding properties of the Kullback-Leibler divergence.

Uncomputably Complex Renormalisation Group Flows

description: Renormalisation group (RG) methods provide one of the most important techniques for analysing the physics of many-body systems, both analytically and numerically. By iterating an RG map, which "course-grains" the description of a many-body system and generates a flow in the parameter space, physical properties of interest can be extracted even for complex models. RG analysis also provides an explanation of physical phenomena such as universality. Many systems exhibit simple RG flows, but more complicated -- even chaotic -- behaviour is also known. Nonetheless, the structure of such RG flows can still be analysed, elucidating the physics of the system, even if specific trajectories may be highly sensitive to the initial point. In contrast, recent work has shown that important physical properties of quantum many-body systems, such as its spectral gap and phase diagram, can be uncomputable. In this work, we show that such undecidable systems exhibit a novel type of RG flow, revealing a qualitatively different and more extreme form of unpredictability than chaotic RG flows. In contrast to chaotic RG flows in which initially close points can diverge exponentially, trajectories under these novel uncomputable RG flows can remain arbitrarily close together for an uncomputable number of iterations, before abruptly diverging to different fixed points that are in separate phases. The structure of such uncomputable RG flows is so complex that it cannot be computed or approximated, even in principle. We give a mathematically rigorous construction of the block-renormalisation-group map for the original undecidable many-body system that appeared in the literature (Cubitt, Pérez-Garcia, Wolf, Nature 528, 207-211 (2015)). We prove that each step of this RG map is computable, and that it converges to the correct fixed points, yet the resulting RG flow is uncomputable.

description: A proposal for the generation of singlet states of three $Λ$-type Rydberg atoms is presented. The singlet state is prepared through the combination of a Rydberg state and an EPR pair, and the scheme relies on the Rydberg blockade effect which prevents the simultaneous excitation of the two atoms to a Rydberg state. In addition, some frequency detuning between lasers and atomic transitions is set to eliminate the degenerate of the two ground states. And finally, a series of numerical simulations are made to show the feasibility of the scheme.

Does the complex Langevin method give unbiased results?
Creators: name: Salcedo, L. L.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We investigate whether the stationary solution of the Fokker-Planck equation of the complex Langevin algorithm reproduces the correct expectation values. When the complex Langevin algorithm for an action $S(x)$ is convergent, it produces an equivalent complex probability distribution $P(x)$ which ideally would coincide with $e^{-S(x)}$. We show that the projected Fokker-Planck equation fulfilled by $P(x)$ may contain an anomalous term whose form is made explicit. Such term spoils the relation $P(x)=e^{-S(x)}$, introducing a bias in the expectation values. Through the analysis of several periodic and non-periodic one-dimensional problems, using either exact or numerical solutions of the Fokker-Planck equation on the complex plane, it is shown that the anomaly is present quite generally. In fact, an anomaly is expected whenever the Langevin walker needs only a finite time to go to infinity and come back, and this is the case for typical actions. We conjecture that the anomaly is the rule rather than the exception in the one-dimensional case, however, this could change as the number of variables involved increases.

The effect of heart focused anxiety on attentional bias in cardiac and non-cardiac patients
Creators: name: Pettit, Kelly Louise
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: Many patients in health settings, either with or without a medically verified cardiovascular disease (CVD) experience a specific Heart Focused Anxiety (HFA), characterised by cardiorespiratory pain, psychological distress and a belief that the heart is faulty. In accordance with general models of anxiety and Eifert's (1992) HFA model, this study aimed to examine whether HFA participants with or without CVD displayed a content-specific attentional bias towards threatening cardiac stimuli and to clarify if a number of commonly cited factors know to influence bias patterns are also active in HFA. One hundred and seventy-eight participants were allocated to five experimental groups (NoCVD-HighHFA, NoCVD-LowHFA, CVD-HighHFA, CVD LowHFA and NoCVD-LowHFA-High Trait Anxiety). The groups completed a visual probe task at two presentation levels, subliminal (<100ms) and supraliminal (1000ms), and responded to seven types of stimulus words (Heart-High Threat, Heart-Moderate Threat, Heart-High Positive, Social-High Threat, Social-High Positive, Disaster-High Threat and Neutral). Overall, the results support the presence of a content-specific attentional bias towards threatening cardiac material relative to other word types in high HFA individuals with or without CVD at both levels of processing. A similar bias pattern was documented in CVD participants with low HFA. This can be contrasted with the healthy control (NoCVD-LowHFA) and the Hight Trait Anxious (NoCVD LowHFA-HTA) groups who did not display this pattern. Unexpectedly, a bias towards positive information consistent with a protective attentional strategy to manage negative affect previously documented in the elderly was also displayed. The study's results provide evidence to support the HFA model (Eifert et al., 2000b) and the application of a Cognitive Behavioural approach in the treatment of HFA.

The coherent interaction between the distant ensembles is directly detected in the cavity transmission spectrum by observing bright and dark collective multiensemble states and an increase of the coupling strength to the cavity mode. Additionally, in the dispersive limit we show transverse ensemble-ensemble coupling via virtual photons.

description: A novel theoretical convergence rate estimate for a Balancing Domain Decomposition by Constraints algorithm is proven for the solution of the cardiac Bidomain model, describing the propagation of the electric impulse in the cardiac tissue. The non-linear system arises from a fully implicit time discretization and a monolithic solution approach. The preconditioned non-symmetric operator is constructed from the linearized system arising within the Newton-Krylov approach for the solution of the non-linear problem; we theoretically analyze and prove a convergence rate bound for the Generalised Minimal Residual iterations' residual. The theory is confirmed by extensive parallel numerical tests, widening the class of robust and efficient solvers for implicit time discretizations of the Bidomain model.

description: The importance of graph search algorithm choice to the directed relation graph with error propagation (DRGEP) method is studied by comparing basic and modified depth-first search, basic and R-value-based breadth-first search (RBFS), and Dijkstra's algorithm. By using each algorithm with DRGEP to produce skeletal mechanisms from a detailed mechanism for n-heptane with randomly-shuffled species order, it is demonstrated that only Dijkstra's algorithm and RBFS produce results independent of species order. In addition, each algorithm is used with DRGEP to generate skeletal mechanisms for n-heptane covering a comprehensive range of autoignition conditions for pressure, temperature, and equivalence ratio. Dijkstra's algorithm combined with a coefficient scaling approach is demonstrated to produce the most compact skeletal mechanism with a similar performance compared to larger skeletal mechanisms resulting from the other algorithms. The computational efficiency of each algorithm is also compared by applying the DRGEP method with each search algorithm on the large detailed mechanism for n-alkanes covering n-octane to n-hexadecane with 2115 species and 8157 reactions. Dijkstra's algorithm implemented with a binary heap priority queue is demonstrated as the most efficient method, with a CPU cost two orders of magnitude less than the other search algorithms.

description: This report examines the ways that users share information using augmented reality (AR). In order to accomplish that goal, the researcher (with the help of their supervisor), conducted interviews of two participants. In those interviews, the participants were asked questions about their sharing behavior on and offline along with their current usage of social media. After the interviews were conducted, the participants were given an AR app called Krikey to use for a period of time. At the end of that time, the participants reconvened with the researcher and answer a few more questions regarding their experience with the AR app and their sharing behavior on the app. The report, through thematic analysis and descriptive statistics, found that the participants were more willing to share information through AR when interacting with groups and individuals with whom they were familiar. On top of that, the users expressed concerns regarding privacy and social interaction within the app. This study provides a preliminary step toward better understanding the sharing habits of users in AR

Our framework generalizes many of the previous settings including the Gevrey case and enables us, for the first time, to prove non-analytic Theorems of Iterates for non-elliptic differential operators. In particular, by generalizing a Theorem of Baouendi and Metivier we obtain the Theorem of Iterates for hypoelliptic analytic operators of principal type with respect to several non-analytic ultradifferentiable structures.

TMCI threshold with space charge and different wake fields

description: Transverse mode coupling instability of a bunch with space charge and wake field is considered within the frameworks of the boxcar model. Eigenfunctions of the bunch without wake are used as a basis for the solution of the equations with the wake field included. A dispersion equation for constant wake is presented in the form of an infinite continued fraction and also as the recursive relation with an arbitrary number of the basis functions. Realistic wake fields are considered as well including resistive wall, square, and oscillating wakes. It is shown that the TMCI threshold of the negative wake grows up in absolute value when the SC tune shift increases. Threshold of positive wake goes down at the increasing SC tune shift. The explanation is developed by an analysis of the bunch spectrum.

description: Recently, violent rhetoric and its use by political leaders in the United States has become a primary focus of elites, media, and researchers alike. This research unveils whether members of Congress use violent political rhetoric strategically in online communications, and if the rates at which they use it is consistent with intuitive and theoretical understanding. Using a dataset of Congressional e-newsletters from 2011 to 2020, I use a random forest classifier to predict the rates at which violent political rhetoric is used and analyze them over time and along party lines. I find that violent political rhetoric is prevalent among newsletters and has increased overtime in partial support of my theory, but that Democrats use it at greater rates than Republicans in contrast to what was postulated. These findings implicate our understanding of the role of violent rhetoric in politics as a driver of negative partisanship, polarization, and political violence.

description: Starting from the Dirac-Kohn-Sham equation we derive the relativistic equation of motion of spin angular momentum in a magnetic solid under an external electromagnetic field. This equation of motion can be written in the form of the well-known Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation for a harmonic external magnetic field, and leads to a more general magnetization dynamics equation for a general time-dependent magnetic field. In both cases with an electronic spin-relaxation term which stems from the spin-orbit interaction. We thus rigorously derive, from fundamental principles, a general expression for the anisotropic damping tensor which is shown to contain an isotropic Gilbert contribution as well as an anisotropic Ising-like and a chiral, Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya-like contribution. The expression for the spin relaxation tensor comprises furthermore both electronic interband and intraband transitions. We also show that when the externally applied electromagnetic field possesses spin angular momentum, this will lead to an optical spin torque exerted on the spin moment.

description: Climate Smart Actions (CSA), applied to livestock, refers to different farming management practices on livestock farms. CSA focus on the mitigation and adaptation to climate change of different livestock farm types. And these practices are based on data collected from farmers and appropriate calculations. Nowadays, there is an increasing interest on the reintegration of livestock and crops which can provide a significant development of circular economy and contribute to sustainable growth. This can be managed through the recycling of materials and resources, the minimization of waste, and a reduction in external inputs, with potential biodiversity, environmental and soil health benefits.

description: We have developed a new method of data processing for radio telescope observation data to measure time-dependent temporal coherence, and we named it cross-correlation spectrometry (XCS). XCS is an autocorrelation procedure that expands time lags over the integration time and is applied to data obtained from a single-dish observation. The temporal coherence property of received signals is enhanced by XCS. We tested the XCS technique using the data of strong H2O masers in W3 (H2O), W49N and W75N. We obtained the temporal coherent lengths of the maser emission to be 17.95 $\pm$ 0.33 μs, 26.89 $\pm$ 0.49 μs and 15.95 $\pm$ 0.46 μs for W3 (H2O), W49N and W75N, respectively. These results may indicate the existence of a coherent astrophysical maser.

Cross-Dressing and Degeneracy in the British Popular Press During the First World War

Subjects: Feminist and queer theory

description: This thesis analyses three different case studies across the First World War to illustrate the differing ways in which popular understandings of the same behaviour, a person assigned male at birth wearing women’s clothing, were discussed and understood in British popular culture. In doing so, I demonstrate how these discussions were affected by specific contemporary gender anxieties. As I argue, cross-dressing was often interpreted through the lens of dominant widespread British cultural concerns surrounding degeneracy. This lens was applied differently depending on the context and resulted in the act of cross-dressing being discussed and understood in a rich variety of ways in the British popular media.

description: Two-stage robust optimization has emerged as a relevant approach to deal with uncertain demand and generation capacity in the transmission network expansion planning problem. Unfortunately, available solution methodologies for the resulting trilevel robust counterpart are unsuitable for large-scale problems. In order to overcome this shortcoming, this paper presents an alternative column-and-constraint generation algorithm wherein the max-min problem associated with the second stage is solved by a novel coordinate descent method. As a major salient feature, the proposed approach does not rely on the transformation of the second-stage problem to a single-level equivalent. As a consequence, bilinear terms involving dual variables or Lagrange multipliers do not arise, thereby precluding the use of computationally expensive big-M-based linearization schemes. Thus, not only is the computational effort reduced, but also the typically overlooked non-trivial tuning of bounding parameters for dual variables or Lagrange multipliers is avoided. The practical applicability of the proposed methodology is confirmed by numerical testing on several benchmarks including a case based on the Polish 2383-bus system, which is well beyond the capability of the robust methods available in the literature.

Teaching Arabic in the Diaspora

description: As a language with strong religious connection, teaching Arabic in the diaspora comes with unique challenges. This thesis explores the teaching and learning of Arabic in Australia and how schoolteachers and parents negotiate the competing imperatives to teach Fus-ha (the HV) and Ammiyya (the LV), to balance the need to teach religious literacy skills and secular conversational skills to Muslim learners. These learners encompass both traditional heritage language learners but also students from non-Arabic backgrounds, who learn Arabic for religious purposes. As such, this thesis challenges and extends our understanding of “heritage language learning” in Australia, and interrogates how different school settings approach these mixed ability cohorts.

description: While a common trend in disease modeling is to develop models of increasing complexity, it was recently pointed out that outbreaks appear remarkably simple when viewed in the incidence vs. cumulative cases (ICC) plane. This article details the theory behind this phenomenon by analyzing the stochastic SIR (Susceptible, Infected, Recovered) model in the cumulative cases domain. We prove that the Markov chain associated with this model reduces, in the ICC plane, to a pure birth chain for the cumulative number of cases, whose limit leads to an independent increments Gaussian process that fluctuates about a deterministic ICC curve. We calculate the associated variance and quantify the additional variability due to estimating incidence over a finite period of time. We also illustrate the universality brought forth by the ICC concept on real-world data for Influenza A and for the COVID-19 outbreak in Arizona.

description: We describe the remote facilities operated by the Southeastern Association for Research in Astronomy (SARA), a consortium of colleges and universities in the US partnered with Lowell Observatory, the Chilean National Telescope Allocation Committee, and the Instituto de Astrofisica de Canarias. SARA observatories comprise a 0.96m telescope at Kitt Peak, Arizona; a 0.6m instrument on Cerro Tololo, Chile; and the 1m Jacobus Kapteyn Telescope at the Roque de los Muchachos, La Palma, Spain. All are operated using standard VNC or Radmin protocols communicating with on-site PCs. Remote operation offers considerable flexibility in scheduling, allowing long-term observational cadences difficult to achieve with classical observing at remote facilities, as well as obvious travel savings. Multiple observers at different locations can share a telescope for training, educational use, or collaborative research programs. Each telescope has a CCD system for optical imaging, using thermoelectric cooling to avoid the need for frequent local service, and a second CCD for offset guiding. The Arizona and Chile instruments also have fiber-fed echelle spectrographs. Switching between imaging and spectroscopy is very rapid, so a night can easily accommodate mixed observing modes. We present some sample observational programs. For the benefit of other groups organizing similar consortia, we describe the operating structure and principles of SARA, as well as some lessons learned from almost 20 years of remote operations.

Sleep and insomnia education for psychologists: From training to practice

Educational psychology

description: Despite the importance of sleep for mental health, psychologists receive minimal education in treating sleep problems. Untreated insomnia can worsen mental health conditions and lead to poorer mental health outcomes. Therefore, this thesis aimed to examine and improve sleep education for psychologists in Australia. We found that almost half of trainee psychologists receive no sleep education, so we developed a sleep education workshop and rolled it out across Victoria, with trainee psychologists reporting increased sleep knowledge and clinical skills to manage insomnia. Sleep education workshops can be scaled to deliver foundational sleep education to improve insomnia management in mental healthcare.

description: For the first time, a cadmium tungstate crystal scintillator enriched in $^{116}$Cd has been succesfully tested as a scintillating bolometer. The measurement was performed above ground at a temperature of 18 mK. The crystal mass was 34.5 g and the enrichment level ~82 %. Despite a substantial pile-up effect due to above-ground operation, the detector demonstrated a high energy resolution (2-7 keV FWHM in 0.2-2.6 MeV $γ$ energy range), a powerful particle identification capability and a high level of internal radiopurity. These results prove that cadmium tungstate is an extremely promising detector material for a next-generation neutrinoless double-beta decay bolometric experiment, like that proposed in the CUPID project (CUORE Upgrade with Particle IDentification).

description: We present the analysis performed on spectropolarimetric data of 97 O-type targets included in the framework of the MiMeS (Magnetism in Massive Stars) Survey. Mean Least-Squares Deconvolved Stokes I and V line profiles were extracted for each observation, from which we measured the radial velocity, rotational and non-rotational broadening velocities, and longitudinal magnetic field. The investigation of the Stokes I profiles led to the discovery of 2 new multi-line spectroscopic systems (HD46106, HD204827) and confirmed the presence of a suspected companion in HD37041. We present a modified strategy of the Least-Squares Deconvolution technique aimed at optimising the detection of magnetic signatures while minimising the detection of spurious signatures in Stokes V. Using this analysis, we confirm the detection of a magnetic field in 6 targets previously reported as magnetic by the MiMeS collaboration (HD108, HD47129A2, HD57682, HD148937, CPD-28 2561, and NGC 1624-2), as well as report the presence of signal in Stokes V in 3 new magnetic candidates (HD36486, HD162978, HD199579). Overall, we find a magnetic incidence rate of 7+/-3%, for 108 individual O stars (including all O-type components part of multi-line systems), with a median uncertainty of the longitudinal field measurements of about 50\,G. An inspection of the data reveals no obvious biases affecting the incidence rate or the preference for detecting magnetic signatures in the magnetic stars. Similar to A- and B-type stars, we find no link between the stars' physical properties (e.g. Teff, mass, age) and the presence of a magnetic field. However, the Of?p stars represent a distinct class of magnetic O-type stars.
