description: We construct a family of manifolds, one for each $n\geq 2$, having a nontrivial Massey $n$-product in their cohomology. These manifolds turn out to be smooth closed 2-connected manifolds with a compact torus action called moment-angle manifolds $\mathcal Z_P$, whose orbit spaces are simple $n$-dimensional polytopes $P$ obtained from a $n$-cube by a sequence of truncations of faces of codimension 2 only (2-truncated cubes). Moreover, the polytopes $P$ are flag nestohedra but not graph-associahedra. We compute some bigraded Betti numbers $β^{-i,2(i+1)}(Q)$ for an associahedron $Q$ in terms of its graph structure and relate it to the structure of the loop homology (Pontryagin algebra) $H_{*}(Ω\mathcal Z_Q)$. We also study triple Massey products in $H^{*}(\mathcal Z_Q)$ for a graph-associahedron $Q$.

description: Recent learning-based correction approaches in EPI estimate a displacement field, unwarp the reversed-PE image pair with the estimated field, and average the unwarped pair to yield a corrected image. Unsupervised learning in these unwarping-based methods is commonly attained via a similarity constraint between the unwarped images in reversed-PE directions, neglecting consistency to the acquired EPI images. This work introduces an unsupervised deep-learning method for fast and effective correction of susceptibility artifacts in reversed phase-encode (PE) image pairs acquired with EPI. FD-Net predicts both the susceptibility-induced displacement field and the underlying anatomically-correct image. Unlike previous methods, FD-Net enforces the forward-distortions of the correct image in both PE directions to be consistent with the acquired reversed-PE image pair. FD-Net further leverages a multiresolution architecture to maintain high local and global performance. FD-Net performs competitively with a gold-standard reference method (TOPUP) in image quality, while enabling a leap in computational efficiency. Furthermore, FD-Net outperforms recent unwarping-based methods for unsupervised correction in terms of both image and field quality. The unsupervised FD-Net method introduces a deep forward-distortion approach to enable fast, high-fidelity correction of susceptibility artifacts in EPI by maintaining consistency to measured data. Therefore, it holds great promise for improving the anatomical accuracy of EPI imaging.

description: Light-field (LF) refers to the spatio-directional light flow in space. In LF imaging, light rays are recorded along different positions and directions, and a 3-D scene is reconstructed with back-propagation [1]. Modern visible-light LF cameras assemble a lens array atop a megapixel (Mpx) count focal-plane array (FPA), such that each lens (macro-pixel) provides spatial sampling while the FPA pixels within a lens (sub-pixels) provide angular sampling [2]. Likewise, THz LF cameras can allow real-time 3D see-through imaging for inspection and screening applications [3]. Unfortunately, THz Mpx FPAs are infeasible as a large THz pixel area (>10× visible-light pixel) would require wafer-scale FPA fabrication, leading to impractical costs and process variations. Multi-chip packaging is an alternative for scaling the THz FPA pixel count, but it requires compact THz camera ICs with serial data interfaces (small pin count) to allow dense integration.

description: In this paper, we explore the recursive structure of Baikov representations for Feynman integrals. We demonstrate that the various Baikov representations for all sectors of an integral family can be organized in a tree-like structure. Using this structure, we show that the symbol letters of one-loop Feynman integrals can be written in terms of minors of a matrix associated with the top sector. Non-trivial relations among these symbol letters can then be easily discovered using results from linear algebra.

description: The stand-up comedy open-mic is a multi-faceted and unique learning environment that serves as an initial learning space for comics, holding possibilities for comics to create their own learning path. This research aimed to understand how comics involved in a stand-up comedy open-mic scene experience learning by exploring the liminoid space of the open-mic as a learning environment. The findings have shown that the qualities of communitas and embodied learning, both on-stage and off, are essential in sustaining the community and motivating the comics to continue challenging themselves creatively.

description: The potential of optimum selection of modulation and forward error correction (FEC) overhead (OH) in future transparent nonlinear optical mesh networks is studied from an information theory perspective. Different network topologies are studied as well as both ideal soft-decision (SD) and hard-decision (HD) FEC based on demap-and-decode (bit-wise) receivers. When compared to the de-facto QPSK with 7% OH, our results show large gains in network throughput. When compared to SD-FEC, HD-FEC is shown to cause network throughput losses of 12%, 15%, and 20% for a country, continental, and global network topology, respectively. Furthermore, it is shown that most of the theoretically possible gains can be achieved by using one modulation format and only two OHs. This is in contrast to the infinite number of OHs required in the ideal case. The obtained optimal OHs are between 5% and 80%, which highlights the potential advantage of using FEC with high OHs.

description: Machine learning techniques have successfully been used to extract structural information such as the crystal space group from powder X-ray diffractograms. However, training directly on simulated diffractograms from databases such as the ICSD is challenging due to its limited size, class-inhomogeneity, and bias toward certain structure types. We propose an alternative approach of generating synthetic crystals with random coordinates by using the symmetry operations of each space group. Based on this approach, we demonstrate online training of deep ResNet-like models on up to a few million unique on-the-fly generated synthetic diffractograms per hour. For our chosen task of space group classification, we achieved a test accuracy of 79.9% on unseen ICSD structure types from most space groups. This surpasses the 56.1% accuracy of the current state-of-the-art approach of training on ICSD crystals directly. Our results demonstrate that synthetically generated crystals can be used to extract structural information from ICSD powder diffractograms, which makes it possible to apply very large state-of-the-art machine learning models in the area of powder X-ray diffraction. We further show first steps toward applying our methodology to experimental data, where automated XRD data analysis is crucial, especially in high-throughput settings. While we focused on the prediction of the space group, our approach has the potential to be extended to related tasks in the future.

description: The H12700 is a novel 64-channel 52 $\times$ 52 mm$^2$ square Multi-Anode PhotoMultiplier Tube (MaPMT) produced by Hamamatsu. Its characteristics make this device suitable for high energy physics applications, such as in Ring Imaging Cherenkov (RICH) detectors. Hamamatsu provides the H12700 tube with an embedded socket connecting the anodes to the output pins and including an active voltage divider. A second device version, the R12699, is also available and differs from the former by the absence of the socket. This paper describes a complete characterization of both models, starting from the standard operating parameters (single photon spectra, average gain, anode uniformity and dark current value), investigating in detail the cross-talk effect among neighbouring pixels and considering the behaviour in critical environment conditions, such as in presence of a static magnetic field up to 100 Gauss, at different operating temperatures and after long exposure to intense light.

description: Nepal is in the process of transforming its school education system to promote learner-centred pedagogies and outcomes. To do so, it implemented a decisive curriculum reform policy called the National Curriculum Framework (NCF) in 2007. Using a qualitative case study method, this research sought to understand how Nepali secondary school teachers and leaders interpreted the NCF’s learner-centred reform policy into practice. The study’s findings revealed that that teachers and school leaders failed to implement learner-centered education reform with fidelity and the tension between policy and practice was evident. The study highlighted the importance of a policy being contextually relevant, appropriate and owned by practitioners for it to be translated into practice.

description: A relativistic Quantum Field Theory framework is devised for Mermin's inequalities. By employing smeared Dirac spinor fields, we are able to introduce unitary operators which create, out of the Minkowski vacuum $| 0 \rangle$, GHZ-type states. In this way, we are able to obtain a relation between the expectation value of Mermin's operators in the vacuum and in the GHZ-type states. We show that Mermin's inequalities turn out to be maximally violated when evaluated on these states.

description: The last decade has seen the success of stochastic parameterizations in short-term, medium-range and seasonal forecasts: operational weather centers now routinely use stochastic parameterization schemes to better represent model inadequacy and improve the quantification of forecast uncertainty. Developed initially for numerical weather prediction, the inclusion of stochastic parameterizations not only provides better estimates of uncertainty, but it is also extremely promising for reducing longstanding climate biases and relevant for determining the climate response to external forcing. This article highlights recent developments from different research groups which show that the stochastic representation of unresolved processes in the atmosphere, oceans, land surface and cryosphere of comprehensive weather and climate models (a) gives rise to more reliable probabilistic forecasts of weather and climate and (b) reduces systematic model bias. We make a case that the use of mathematically stringent methods for the derivation of stochastic dynamic equations will lead to substantial improvements in our ability to accurately simulate weather and climate at all scales. Recent work in mathematics, statistical mechanics and turbulence is reviewed, its relevance for the climate problem demonstrated, and future research directions outlined.

Gender and School Uniform: A Case Study in fairness and equity

Publisher: name: Monash University

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Do the stakeholders (executive, parents and teaching staff) believe that students in private schools who are required to wear a formal school uniform able to access school resources equally? Do they participate equally in school life and is the financial outlay for a formal school uniform equitable for boys and girls?
 Many private school students are compelled to wear a school uniform that causes a variety of issues for all students but especially for the female students. The research undertaken for this thesis adopts a stakeholder perspective on the experiences of students who wear a formal school uniform with a particular focus on whether inequities are evident. Themes that were addressed in the research were cost, comfort, access to resources and discipline. Data were collected via interviews with key stakeholders and a qualitative approach was used for analysis. A number of themes that key stakeholders found significant regarding formal school uniform were identified. Key findings exposed themes which included girls being less comfortable than boys in their uniform, girls having less access to school resources, school uniform is seen as an outdated relic from a bygone era, and that formal school uniform encourages pride in appearance and promotes the school in a positive light.
 The main findings were that girls are found to be less comfortable and are less likely to access playground resources. The uniform for girls is more expensive and girls are found to endure more discipline as a result of not wearing the formal uniform correctly. The implications for the research are that schools need to look carefully at the style of uniform they impose on students. Schools may be encouraged to investigate alternative uniforms which have a more unisex design, incorporating more contemporary fabrics. To do so may liberate teachers from spending valuable time on addressing uniform issues and ensure financial equity for parents. If schools take on the findings of this research, students may also be able to play freely and access resources equally, doing so in comfort.

However, the evidence supporting these claims varies widely, confounding accurate evaluation of genomic variation in a clinical setting. Despite the critical need to differentiate clinically valid relationships from less well-substantiated relationships, standard guidelines for such evaluation do not currently exist. The NIH-funded Clinical Genome Resource (ClinGen) has developed a framework to define and evaluate the clinical validity of gene-disease pairs across a variety of Mendelian disorders. In this manuscript we describe a proposed framework to evaluate relevant genetic and experimental evidence supporting or contradicting a gene-disease relationship and the subsequent validation of this framework using a set of representative gene-disease pairs. The framework provides a semiquantitative measurement for the strength of evidence of a gene-disease relationship that correlates to a qualitative classification: “Definitive,” “Strong,” “Moderate,” “Limited,” “No Reported Evidence,” or “Conflicting Evidence.” Within the ClinGen structure, classifications derived with this framework are reviewed and confirmed or adjusted based on clinical expertise of appropriate disease experts. Detailed guidance for utilizing this framework and access to the curation interface is available on our website. This evidence-based, systematic method to assess the strength of gene-disease relationships will facilitate more knowledgeable utilization of genomic variants in clinical and research settings.

description: Gravito-acoustic modes in the Sun and other stars propagate in resonant cavities with a frequency below a given limit known as the cut-off frequency. At higher frequencies, waves are no longer trapped in the stellar interior and become traveller waves. In this article we study six pulsating solar-like stars at different evolutionary stages observed by the NASA Kepler mission. These high signal-to-noise targets show a peak structure that extends at very high frequencies and are good candidates for studying the transition region between the modes and the interference peaks or pseudo-modes. Following the same methodology successfully applied on Sun-as-a-star measurements, we uncover the existence of pseudo-modes in these stars with one or two dominant interference patterns depending on the evolutionary stage of the star. We also infer their cut-off frequency as the midpoint between the last eigenmode and the first peak of the interference patterns. By using ray theory we show that, while the period of one of the interference pattern is very close to half the large separation the other, one depends on the time phase of mixed waves, thus carrying additional information on the stellar structure and evolution.

description: In this paper, we discuss Galilean relativistic Proca theory in detail. We first provide a set of mapping relations, derived systematically, that connect the covariant and contravariant vectors in the Lorentz relativistic and Galilean relativistic formulations. Exploiting this map, we construct the two limits of Galilean relativistic Proca theory from usual Proca theory in the potential formalism for both contravariant and covariant vectors which are now distinct entities. An action formalism is thereby derived from which the field equations are obtained and their internal consistency is shown. Next we construct Noether currents and show their on-shell conservation. We introduce analogues of Maxwell's electric and magnetic fields and recast the entire analysis in terms of these fields. Explicit invariance under Galilean transformations is shown for both electric/magnetic limits. We then move to discuss Stuckelberg embedded Proca model in the Galilean framework.

description: Flood risk management in Germany follows an integrative approach in which both private households and businesses can make an important contribution to reducing flood damage by implementing property-level adaptation measures. While the flood adaptation behavior of private households has already been widely researched, comparatively less attention has been paid to the adaptation strategies of businesses. However, their ability to cope with flood risk plays an important role in the social and economic development of a flood-prone region. Therefore, using quantitative survey data, this study aims to identify different strategies and adaptation drivers of 557 businesses damaged by a riverine flood in 2013 and 104 businesses damaged by pluvial or flash floods between 2014 and 2017. Our results indicate that a low perceived self-efficacy may be an important factor that can reduce the motivation of businesses to adapt to flood risk. Furthermore, property-owners tended to act more proactively than tenants. In addition, high experience with previous flood events and low perceived response costs could strengthen proactive adaptation behavior. These findings should be considered in business-tailored risk communication.

description: Genetic variants that modulate gene expression levels play an important role in the etiology of human diseases and complex traits. Although large-scale eQTL mapping studies routinely identify many local eQTLs, the molecular mechanisms by which genetic variants regulate expression remain unclear, particularly for distal eQTLs, which these studies are not well powered to detect. Here, we leveraged all variants (not just those that pass stringent significance thresholds) to analyze the functional architecture of local and distal regulation of gene expression in 15 human tissues by employing an extension of stratified LD-score regression that produces robust results in simulations. The top enriched functional categories in local regulation of peripheral-blood gene expression included coding regions (11.41×), conserved regions (4.67×), and four histone marks (p < 5 × 10 -5 for all enrichments); local enrichments were similar across the 15 tissues. We also observed substantial enrichments for distal regulation of peripheral-blood gene expression: coding regions (4.47×), conserved regions (4.51×), and two histone marks (p < 3 × 10 -7 for all enrichments). Analyses of the genetic correlation of gene expression across tissues confirmed that local regulation of gene expression is largely shared across tissues but that distal regulation is highly tissue specific. Our results elucidate the functional components of the genetic architecture of local and distal regulation of gene expression.

description: This study provides a fine-grained account of creativity in English classrooms from the ‘bottom up’ and to consider the implications of ‘ordinary everyday creativity’ for the engagement and learning of both my students and my teacher colleagues. In particular, the study examined how various creativity discourses—political, social, cultural and educational—mediate my work and the work of my colleagues, and how these discourses construct particular student and teacher professional identities, shaping how both students and teachers think about and enact creativity in their learning and work.

description: Constraint Programming is the study of modelling and solving complex combinatorial problems. Systematic-search and local-search are both well-researched approaches to solving constraint problems. Systematic-search exhaustively explores the entire search space and can be used to guarantee optimality, prove infeasibility or enumerate all possible solutions. Conversely, local-search is a heuristic-based approach to solving constraint problems. Often used in industrial applications, local-search is used to discover high-quality solutions quickly, usually sacrificing the ability to cover the entire search space. For this reason, it is preferred in applications where the scale of the problems being solved are beyond what can be feasibly searched using systematic methods. This work investigates methods of using information derived from high-level specifications of problems to augment the performance and scalability of local-search systems. Typically, abstract high-level constraint specifications or models are refined into lowlevel representations suitable for input to a constraint solver, erasing any knowledge of the specifications' high-level structures. We propose that whilst these lower-level models are equivalent in their description of the problems being solved, the original high-level specification, if retained, can be used to augment both the performance and scalability of local-search systems. In doing this, two approaches have been implemented and benchmarked. In the first approach, Structured Neighbourhood Search (SNS), a systematic solver is adapted to support declarative large neighbourhood search, using the high-level types such as sets, sequences and partitions in the original problem specification to automatically construct higher-quality, structured neighbourhoods. Our experiments demonstrate the performance of SNS when applied to structured problems. In the second approach, a novel constraint-based local-search solver is designed to operate on the high-level structures without refining these structures into lower-level representations. The new solver Athanor can directly instantiate and operate on the types in the Essence abstract specification language, supporting arbitrarily nested types such as sets of partitions, multi-sets of sequences and so on. Athanor retains the performance of SNS but boasts a unique benefit; on some classes of problems, the high-level solver is shown to be able to efficiently operate on instances that are too large for low-level solvers to even begin search.

description: Studies of gravitational microlensing effects require the estimation of their detection efficiency as soon as one wants to quantify the massive compact objects along the line of sight of source targets. This is particularly important for setting limits on the contribution of massive compact objects to the Galactic halo. These estimates of detection efficiency must not only account for the blending effects of accidentally superimposed sources in crowded fields, but also for possible mixing of light from stars belonging to multiple gravitationally bound stellar systems. Until now, only blending due to accidental alignment of stars had been studied, in particular as a result of high-resolution space images. In this paper, we address the impact of unresolved binary sources that are physically gravitationally bound and not accidentally aligned, in the case of microlensing detection efficiencies toward the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We used the Gaia catalog of nearby stars to constrain the local binarity rate, which we extrapolated to the distance of the LMC. Then we estimated an upper limit to the impact of this binarity on the detection efficiency of microlensing effects, as a function of lens mass. We find that a maximum of 6.2\% of microlensing events on LMC sources due to halo lenses heavier than $30 M_{\odot}$ could be affected as a result of the sources belonging to unresolved binary systems. This number is the maximum fraction of events for which the source is a binary system separated by about one angular Einstein radius or more in a configuration where light-curve distortion could affect the efficiency of some detection algorithms. For events caused by lighter lenses on LMC sources, our study shows that the chances of blending effects by binary systems is likely to be higher and should be studied in more detail to improve the accuracy of efficiency calculations.

description: Using bi-spinor fields we write the pseudo-scalar and bi-spinor fields that are characterized by the field functions of coordinates of several particles, namely multi-particle fields. By applying the quantization procedure to these multi-particle fields, hadronic creation and annihilation operators have been obtained. Due to internal degrees of freedom of such hadron field, it can interact with gauge fields. This interaction is introduced by a standard derivative extension. The gauge field which was obtained in this way revealed to be a multi-particle field. We construct the dynamic equations for this multi-particle gauge field. It was shown that the solutions of these equations can describe the interaction of quarks inside hadrons and also the interaction of quarks in different hadrons via two-particle gluon field. Quanta of this two-gluon field can be considered as bound states of two gluons. These solutions describe confinement of quarks and gluons.

description: Surfing is a popular coastal activity that has attracted considerable attention in the recreation, pop culture and academic literature in recent decades. While surf literature and research into the history and sociology of surfing continues to build, there remains a gap in inquiry about how young people learn to surf. This narrative inquiry study presents a set of short stories about how young people learn and become enskiled in surf places. The study is based upon a small selection of participants who surf, or surfed, with family members while learning to surf in South East Victoria, Australia.

description: In December of 2017, President Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA). While the law made several changes to the tax code, one major change was instituting a cap on the amount of state and local tax (SALT) deductions a filer can claim. The SALT cap limits a tax filer’s ability to limit the impacts of state and local taxes on their overall tax burden. This new inability to soften the impact of state and local taxes could cause residents to view states with higher taxes as less attractive. The results presented in this paper showed a state’s top income tax rate and a state’s representative tax burden had a statistically significant negative effect on the probability of a household living in a new state after the SALT cap was implemented. This effect was statistically different than the negative impact of the tax measure before the passing. Suggesting, for households of varying income levels, if a state were to increase the top income tax rate by 10 percentage points the probability of a household moving to that state would decrease, on the low end 0.17 percentage points and on the high end 0.52 percentage points more than if the SALT cap was not in place. Larger impacts were found for the representative tax burden measure, where for a 10% increase in the state tax burden the probability of a household moving to the state would fall by 0.57 percentage points on the low end and 0.87 percentage points on the high end.
An invitation for growth

description: I performed an autoethnography (Ellis, 2004), reflexively (Freire, 1970) using the form of a Greek comic drama, (Watling, 1947) to explore the question: How can I grow (Dewey, 1902, 1915, 1916, 1938, 1941) in my understanding of offering experiences to Victorian secondary school students, that invite them to grow as humans? In the thesis, I react cathartically to my experiences of mechanistic and coercive schooling, rejecting, in particular, one representation of positivism. I characterise that particular representation of positivism ironically, as The Perfect Lesson, in a deliberate distortion of sous rature (Derrida, 1974). Inspired by my students, I investigate the possibility of focusing on the students’ educative needs. I explore several metaphors as a means of challenging my own thinking about learning, including writing a short comic drama of my own, in order to seek the responses of others. I include transgressive data such as memory and response data (St Pierre, 1997) and express some of my ideas as personifications. The inquiry reveals and challenges my positivist and linear assumptions, following various flight lines. The structure of the thesis is non-linear and has rhizomatic elements (Deleuze and Guattari, 1987). The limitations and possibilities of offering students increased control of their own inquiry, while still acting as responsible adult educators, are investigated. I observe that, it is extremely difficult to offer a substantial and consistent invitation for growth, in a system distorted by positivism. Invitational moments enabling educative practice in the midst of a mis-educative system are suggested. I describe flashes of ironic comedy and hope amidst the system.
