description: This paper presents a sparse Change-Based Convolutional Long Short-Term Memory (CB-ConvLSTM) model for event-based eye tracking, key for next-generation wearable healthcare technology such as AR/VR headsets. We leverage the benefits of retina-inspired event cameras, namely their low-latency response and sparse output event stream, over traditional frame-based cameras. Our CB-ConvLSTM architecture efficiently extracts spatio-temporal features for pupil tracking from the event stream, outperforming conventional CNN structures. Utilizing a delta-encoded recurrent path enhancing activation sparsity, CB-ConvLSTM reduces arithmetic operations by approximately 4.7$\times$ without losing accuracy when tested on a \texttt{v2e}-generated event dataset of labeled pupils. This increase in efficiency makes it ideal for real-time eye tracking in resource-constrained devices.

description: A pan-tilt camera system has been adopted by a variety of fields since it can cover a wide range of region compared to a single fixated camera setup. Yet many studies rely on factory-assembled and calibrated platforms and assume an ideal rotation where rotation axes are perfectly aligned with the optical axis of the local camera. However, in a user-created setup where a pan-tilting mechanism is arbitrarily assembled, the kinematic configurations may be inaccurate or unknown, violating ideal rotation. These discrepancies in the model with the real physics result in erroneous servo manipulation of the pan-tilting system. In this paper, we propose an accurate control mechanism for arbitrarily-assembled pan-tilt camera systems. The proposed method formulates pan-tilt rotations as motion along great circle trajectories and calibrates its model parameters, such as positions and vectors of rotation axes, in 3D space. Then, one can accurately servo pan-tilt rotations with pose estimation from inverse kinematics of their transformation. The comparative experiment demonstrates out-performance of the proposed method, in terms of accurately localizing target points in world coordinates, after being rotated from their captured camera frames.

Toward a Pedagogy of Connectedness: The experience of adolescent students in two aesthetically-oriented schools in Brazil

description: The present study investigates pedagogical praxes that may counter the phenomenon of disconnectedness, which is widespread in today’s world. It does so by exploring the experiences of adolescent students in two aesthetically-oriented schools in Brazil that cultivate connectedness—with the self, with others, and with the world—as a central curricular theme. To carry out the research, I developed a methodology that combines narrative inquiry and visual-based methods. I selected a group of five ninth-graders at each of the school sites and invited them to participate in a series of encontros in which they created collective fictional stories based on their own experiences within and beyond their school. These stories were complemented by visual narratives collected through school observations. The analysis of the oral and visual narratives points to a divide between the movement towards the connectedness that students live within their school and the disconnecting rationale that prevails in the outside world. Furthermore, it reveals the conscious and unconscious moves that students make to mediate this divide. Based on the findings, I suggest seven pedagogical praxes that can be explored by schools to cultivate connectedness as a central theme in the formation of young citizens today: (1) artistic engagements, (2) sensory explorations, (3) valorization of authentic cultures, (4) caring relationships, (5) habits of reflexivity, (6) uncomfortable dialogues, and (7) collective agency.

description: ModMax is a nonlinear electrodynamics theory with the same symmetries as Maxwell electrodynamics. Static spherically symmetric solutions have been derived by coupling ModMax electrodynamics with the Einstein equations, which can represent a black hole. In this paper, we analyze light propagation in the vicinity of the ModMax black hole. We determine birefringence, light trajectories, deflection, redshifts, as well as the shadow of the black hole using the effective or optical metric to determine the optical paths of light; comparison is done with the corresponding effects in the neighborhood of the Reissner-Nordstrom black hole, that is the solution to the Einstein-Maxwell equations.

description: This Dissertation lays the groundwork for a private law theory of international investment law (IIL). This project intervenes in a polarized debate on the nature of the global investment regime. With few exceptions, the scholarship has tended to divide sharply according to stylized visions of IIL as either a system of private, commercial law, or a system of public law. The “commercial law school” tends to be associated with a thick, capital-centric vision of IIL – one that emphasizes insulating private interests from foreign state action. Scholars and practitioners in this vein tend to be apologists for the system, or advocates of only minimal structural reforms. By contrast, the “public law school,” tends to be associated with a thin vision of IIL, highly deferential to national sovereignty, where private interests take a back seat to bona fide national regulatory policy. Its adherents tend to style themselves as critics and reformers, decrying how the status quo seems to have sacrificed national regulatory autonomy at the altar of global capital. While the commercial lawyers have been far too dismissive of the threat posed by IIL to domestic public values, the public lawyers risk losing sight of the values states seek to achieve through IIL in the first place – the promotion of sorely needed foreign direct investment (FDI) and the protection of FDI providers. The debate thus far has proceeded mostly in caricature, and something important has been lost: the possibility of a nuanced system of international private law, sensitive to both the sovereign state’s public values and the private rights and interests of foreign investors whose protection is central to the object and purpose of the regime. These Chapters seek to fill that lacuna.
Fluctuation-Response Relations for Multi-Time Correlations

description: We show that time-correlation functions of arbitrary order for any random variable in a statistical dynamical system can be calculated as higher-order response functions of the mean history of the variable. The response is to a ``control term'' added as a modification to the master equation for statistical distributions. The proof of the relations is based upon a variational characterization of the generating functional of the time-correlations. The same fluctuation-response relations are preserved within moment-closures for the statistical dynamical system, when these are constructed via the variational Rayleigh-Ritz procedure. For the 2-time correlations of the moment-variables themselves, the fluctuation-response relation is equivalent to an ``Onsager regression hypothesis'' for the small fluctuations. For correlations of higher-order, there is a new effect in addition to such linear propagation of fluctuations present instantaneously: the dynamical generation of correlations by nonlinear interaction of fluctuations. In general, we discuss some physical and mathematical aspects of the {\it Ansätze} required for an accurate calculation of the time correlations. We also comment briefly upon the computational use of these relations, which is well-suited for automatic differentiation tools. An example will be given of a simple closure for turbulent energy decay, which illustrates the numerical application of the relations.

description: While academic metrics such as transcripts and GPA are commonly used to evaluate students' knowledge acquisition, there is a lack of comprehensive metrics to measure their preparedness for the challenges of post-graduation life. This research paper explores the impact of various factors on university students' readiness for change and transition, with a focus on their preparedness for careers. The methodology employed in this study involves designing a survey based on Paul J. Mayer's "The Balance Wheel" to capture students' sentiments on various life aspects, including satisfaction with the educational process and expectations of salary. The collected data from a KBTU student survey (n=47) were processed through machine learning models: Linear Regression, Support Vector Regression (SVR), Random Forest Regression. Subsequently, an intelligent system was built using these models and fuzzy sets. The system is capable of evaluating graduates' readiness for their future careers and demonstrates a high predictive power. The findings of this research have practical implications for educational institutions. Such an intelligent system can serve as a valuable tool for universities to assess and enhance students' preparedness for post-graduation challenges. By recognizing the factors contributing to students' readiness for change, universities can refine curricula and processes to better prepare students for their career journeys.

Subjects: German literature

description: Toward a Poetics of Animality is a study of the place and function of animals in the works of four major modernist authors: Hugo von Hofmannsthal, Rainer Maria Rilke, Luigi Pirandello, and Franz Kafka. Through a series of close readings of canonical as well as lesser-known texts, I show how the so-called "Sprachkrise"- the crisis of language and representation that dominated European literature around 1900 - was inextricably bound up with an attendant crisis of anthropocentrism and of man's relationship to the animal. Since antiquity, man has been defined as the animal that has language; hence a crisis of language necessarily called into question the assumption of human superiority and the strict division between humans and animals on the basis of language. Furthermore, in response to author and critic John Berger's provocative suggestion that "the first metaphor was animal" I explore the essential and constantly reaffirmed link between animals and metaphorical language. The implication is that the poetic imagination and the problem of representation have always on some level been bound up with the figure of the animal. Thus, the "poetics of animality" I identify in the authors under examination gestures toward the origin of poetry and figurative language as such.

We have calculated the eigenfrequencies of the modes that one would expect to be the most important gravitational-wave sources: the fundamental fluid f-mode, the first pressure p-mode and the first gravitational-wave w-mode, for twelve realistic equations of state. From this numerical data we have inferred a set of ``empirical relations'' between the mode-frequencies and the parameters of the star (the radius R and the mass M). Some of these relation prove to be surprisingly robust, and we show how they can be used to extract the details of the star (radius, mass, eos) from observed modes with errors no larger than a few percent.

description: This paper reports on the operational characteristics of maximum score estimation of a linear model from binary response data. A series of previous articles have shown that in theory, the maximum score method makes possible binary response analysis under very weak distributional assumptions. Here, we present evidence on the properties of maximum score estimation in practice. After reviewing the known asymptotic theory of maximum score estimation, the paper describes an algorithm for maximum score estimation and characterizes its performance. Then findings from a Monte Carlo study comparing maximum score and logit maximum likelihood estimation are reported. Finally, the accuracy of bootstrap estimation of maximum score root mean square errors is evaluated.

description: There is an extensive empirical literature on political business cycles, but its theoretical foundations are grounded in pre-rational expectations macroeconomic theory. Here we show that electoral cycles in taxes, government spending and money growth can be modeled ?s an equilibrium signaling process. The cycle is driven by temporary information asymmetries which can arise if, for example, the government has more current information on its performance in providing for national defense. Incumbents cheat least when their private information is either extremely favorable or extremely unfavorable. An exogenous increase in the incumbent party's popularity does not necessarily imply a damped policy cycle.

Fiction

description: This dissertation examines the rise of first-person fiction in the later Middle Ages, arguing that the modern concept of fiction can to be seen to have emerged during this period. As I show, the Roman de la Rose by Guillaume de Lorris and Jean de Meun, the Commedia of Dante, and Chaucer’s Canterbury Tales each offers a unique response to the question of how truth can be manifested in writing. I analyze key passages of these three poems, as well as earlier writings by Dante and Chaucer – in particular, Dante’s Vita Nuova and Chaucer’s Book of the Duchess, as well as Chaucer’s other dream-poems – in order to show how the classical, and more specifically Platonic, subordination of fiction to philosophy was challenged and ultimately overturned through French dream-allegory, Dante’s visionary epic, and the general framework to The Canterbury Tales, where Chaucer can be seen to engage both French and Italian predecessors.

description: In this paper, we numerically investigate the length spectra and the low-lying eigenvalue spectra of the Laplace-Beltrami operator for a large number of small compact(closed) hyperbolic (CH) 3-manifolds. The first non-zero eigenvalues have been successfully computed using the periodic orbit sum method, which are compared with various geometric quantities such as volume, diameter and length of the shortest periodic geodesic of the manifolds. The deviation of low-lying eigenvalue spectra of manifolds converging to a cusped hyperbolic manifold from the asymptotic distribution has been measured by $ζ-$ function and spectral distance.

Nevertheless this period of the sovereignty of the French King Charles V, his brothers and his sons coincides with the so-ca11ed "Golden Age of Tapestry." These figures emerge as munificent patrons of art and their role as patrons is ref Jected in the splendour and extravagence of their palaces and their collections.

description: We show the first-principles evidence of a hitherto unreported type of ferroelectricity with ultra-long ion-displacement in sodium and potassium hydroxides. Even a small amount of proton vacancies can completely change the mode of proton-transfer from intra-unitcell to trans-unitcell, giving rise to multiferroic soliton with mobile magnetism and a tremendous polarization that can be orders of magnitude higher compared with most perovskite ferroelectrics. Their vertical polarizations of thin-film are robust against depolarizing field, rendering various designs of 2D ferroelectric field-transistors with non-destructive readout and ultra-high on/off ratio via sensing the switchable metallic/insulating state.

description: In artificial intelligence (AI) mediated workforce management systems (e.g., crowdsourcing), long-term success depends on workers accomplishing tasks productively and resting well. This dual objective can be summarized by the concept of productive laziness. Existing scheduling approaches mostly focus on efficiency but overlook worker wellbeing through proper rest. In order to enable workforce management systems to follow the IEEE Ethically Aligned Design guidelines to prioritize worker wellbeing, we propose a distributed Computational Productive Laziness (CPL) approach in this paper. It intelligently recommends personalized work-rest schedules based on local data concerning a worker's capabilities and situational factors to incorporate opportunistic resting and achieve superlinear collective productivity without the need for explicit coordination messages. Extensive experiments based on a real-world dataset of over 5,000 workers demonstrate that CPL enables workers to spend 70% of the effort to complete 90% of the tasks on average, providing more ethically aligned scheduling than existing approaches.

description: Computer games are widespread nowadays and enjoyed by people of all ages. But when it comes to kids, playing these games can be more than just fun, it is a way for them to develop important skills and build emotional intelligence. Facial expressions and sounds that kids produce during gameplay reflect their feelings, thoughts, and moods. In this paper, we propose a novel framework that integrates a fuzzy approach for the recognition of emotions through the analysis of audio and video data. Our focus lies within the specific context of computer games tailored for children, aiming to enhance their overall user experience. We use the FER dataset to detect facial emotions in video frames recorded from the screen during the game. For the audio emotion recognition of sounds a kid produces during the game, we use CREMA-D, TESS, RAVDESS, and Savee datasets. Next, a fuzzy inference system is used for the fusion of results. Besides this, our system can detect emotion stability and emotion diversity during gameplay, which, together with prevailing emotion report, can serve as valuable information for parents worrying about the effect of certain games on their kids. The proposed approach has shown promising results in the preliminary experiments we conducted, involving 3 different video games, namely fighting, racing, and logic games, and providing emotion-tracking results for kids in each game. Our study can contribute to the advancement of child-oriented game development, which is not only engaging but also accounts for children's cognitive and emotional states.

description: Combining an optimized expansion scheme in the spirit of the background field method with the Coleman's normal-ordering renormalization prescription, we calculate the effective potential of sine-Gordon field theory beyond the Gaussian approximation. The first-order result is just the sine-Gordon Gaussian effective potential (GEP). For the range of the coupling beta^2 <= 3.4 pi (an approximate value), a calculation with Mathematica indicates that the result up to the second order is finite without any further renormalization procedure and tends to improve the GEP more substantially while beta^2 increases from zero.

description: Ising machines have emerged as a promising solution for rapidly solving NP-complete combinatorial optimization problems, surpassing the capabilities of traditional computing methods. By efficiently determining the ground state of the Hamiltonian during the annealing process, Ising machines can effectively complement CPUs in tackling optimization challenges. To realize these Ising machines, a bi-stable oscillator is essential to emulate the atomic spins and interactions of the Ising model. This study introduces a Josephson parametric oscillator (JPO)-based tile structure, serving as a fundamental unit for scalable superconductor-based Ising machines. Leveraging the bi-stable nature of JPOs, which are superconductor-based oscillators, the proposed machine can operate at frequencies of 7.5GHz while consuming significantly less power (by three orders of magnitude) than CMOS-based systems. Furthermore, the compatibility of the proposed tile structure with the Lechner-Hauke-Zoller (LHZ) architecture ensures its viability for large-scale integration. We conducted simulations of the tile in a noisy environment to validate its functionality. We verified its operational characteristics by comparing the results with the analytical solution of its Hamiltonian model. This verification demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of the JPO-based tile in implementing Ising machines, opening new avenues for efficient and scalable combinatorial optimization in quantum computing.

description: This paper models the adverse selection problem faced by a market maker trading with informed hedgers. When the market maker is able to quote arbitrary offer schedules there are instances of non-existence of a competitive equilibrium. When an equilibrium does exist, better-informed hedgers may impose a dissipative externality on the less well-informed. However, if the types of hedgers are sufficiently different, equilibrium will be the same as in the full information case.

description: First-order reversal curves (FORC) diagram method is one of the most successful characterization techniques used to characterize complex hysteretic phenomena not only in magnetism, but also in other areas of science like in ferroelectricity, geology, archeology, light-induced and pressure hysteresis in spin-transition materials, etc. Because the definition of the FORC diagram involves a second-order derivative, the main problem in their numerical calculation is that the derivative of a function for which only discrete noise-contaminated data values are available magnifies the noise that is inevitably present in measurements. In this paper we present doFORC tool for calculating FORC diagrams of noise scattered data. It can provide both a smooth approximation of the measured magnetization and all its partial derivatives. doFORC is a free, portable application working on various operating systems, with an easy to use graphical interface, with four regression methods implemented to obtain a smooth approximation of the data which may then be differentiated to obtain approximations for derivatives. In order to perform the diagnostics and goodness of fit doFORC computes residuals to characterize the difference between observed and predicted values, generalized cross-validation to measure the predictive performance, two information criteria to quantify the information that is lost by using an approximate model, and three degrees of freedom to compare different amounts of smoothing being performed by different smoothing methods. Based on these doFORC can perform automatic smoothing parameter selection.
Streamlined LCA of paper towel end of life options for UBC SEEDS : recycling vs. composting

description: This study was performed for the University of British Columbia Alma Mater Society (AMS) as part of the Sustainable Ecological Economic Development (SEEDs) program. Although paper towel is proven to be an environmentally damaging method for drying hands, relative to other methods such as hand dryers, many buildings on the UBC campus must still provide paper towel for technical or sanitary reasons (Gregory, 2011). In particular, the AMS is concerned with how to minimize the environmental footprint of paper towels used in the Student Union Building (SUB). This streamlined LCA provides a comparison between end-of-life options for paper towel used in SUB bathrooms, in particular for recycling and composting. The study used a closed loop process for recycling, and an open process with avoided burdens for composting. Overall it was determined that when considering impact categories of solid waste, electricity use, water depletion, fossil fuel depletion, climate change, and human toxicity, composting is the better option for all categories except for electricity consumption. Avoided burdens calculated to not change this result. For example, the Climate. Change impact for Recycling was 1,039 kg CO₂ eq while for composting it was 734 kg CO₂ eq (874 kg CO₂ eq without avoided burdens). Additionally, a basic life cycle cost analysis was completed, and composting costs to the university are less than those for recycling. Annual costs for composting were estimated at $5,070, while those for recycling were $16,120.

Price Discrimination In A Competitive Market With Informed Traders
Creators: name: Gale, Ian

Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 1986
Subjects: Research Methods/ Statistical Methods

description: In virtually all previous work concerning informed trading on stock markets or futures markets those with inside information could trade only once on the basis of their information. This paper gives a more appropriate model of informed trade by permitting agents to make transactions with different market makers. A competitive equilibrium always exists in this model, but perfect price discrimination is not possible since a trader does not signal perfectly (i.e., completely reveal his information) until he has finished trading. Because of this, those who make large aggregate transactions will get capital gains. Another feature of this sequential revelation model is that there will generally be a price correction after a trader exits. This follows because traders are facing a sequence of "pooling prices".
$R$-matrix with Time-dependence Theory for Ultrafast Atomic Processes in Arbitrary Light Fields

description: We describe an ab initio and non-perturbative $R$-matrix with time-dependence theory for ultrafast atomic processes in light fields of arbitrary polarization. The theory is applicable to complex, multielectron atoms and atomic ions subject to ultrashort (particularly few-femtosecond and attosecond) laser pulses with any given ellipticity, and generalizes previous time-dependent $R$-matrix techniques restricted to linearly polarized fields. We discuss both the fundamental equations, required to propagate the multielectron wavefunction in time, as well as the computational developments necessary for their efficient numerical solution. To verify the accuracy of our approach, we investigate the two-photon ionization of He, irradiated by a pair of time-delayed, circularly polarized, femtosecond laser pulses, and compare photoelectron momentum distributions, in the polarization plane, with those obtained from recent time-dependent close-coupling calculations. The predictive capabilities of our approach are further demonstrated through a study of single-photon detachment from F$^{-}$ in a circularly polarized, femtosecond laser pulse, where the relative contribution of the co- and counter-rotating $2p$ electrons is quantified.

Quantum Creation of a Black Hole

description: Using the Hartle-Hawking no-boundary proposal for the wave function of the universe, we can study the wave function and probability of a single black hole created at the birth of the universe. The black hole originates from a constrained gravitational instanton with conical singularities. The wave function and probability of a universe with a black hole are calculated at the $WKB$ level. The probability of a black hole creation is the exponential of one quarter of the sum of areas of the black hole and cosmological horizons. One quarter of this sum is the total entropy of the universe. We show that these arguments apply to all kinds of black holes in the de Sitter space background.

The Byzantine imperial palace chapel

description: It has been suggested by Cyril Mango that the concept of a palace chapel, with its own clergy, and reserved exclusively for the use of the Imperial court, did not emerge until the ninth century. St Mary of the Pharos, which was built in the Great Palace at Constantinople was, he concludes, the first documented church of this kind. However, Richard Krautheimer and his disciple Wayne Dynes, had maintained that there were in fact earlier palace chapels, and that they exhibited a distinctive architectural form, exemplified in the octagonal shape of the church of Sts Sergius and Bacchus, a sixth century Justinianic foundation in Constantinople.
Intermixture of extended edge and localized bulk energy levels in macroscopic Hall systems

description: We study the spectrum of a random Schroedinger operator for an electron submitted to a magnetic field in a finite but macroscopic two dimensional system of linear dimensions equal to L. The y direction is periodic and in the x direction the electron is confined by two smooth increasing boundary potentials. The eigenvalues of the Hamiltonian are classified according to their associated quantum mechanical current in the y direction. Here we look at an interval of energies inside the first Landau band of the random operator for the infinite plane. In this energy interval, with large probability, there exist O(L) eigenvalues with positive or negative currents of O(1). Between each of these there exist O(L^2) eigenvalues with infinitesimal current O(exp(-cB(log L)^2)). We explain what is the relevance of this analysis to the integer quantum Hall effect.
