description: Quantum anomaly manifests itself in the deviation of breathing mode frequency from the scale invariant value of $2ω$ in two-dimensional harmonically trapped Fermi gases, where $ω$ is the trapping frequency. Its recent experimental observation with cold-atoms reveals an unexpected role played by the effective range of interactions, which requires quantitative theoretical understanding. Here we provide accurate, benchmark results on quantum anomaly from a few-body perspective. We consider the breathing mode of a few trapped interacting fermions in two dimensions up to six particles and present the mode frequency as a function of scattering length for a wide range of effective range. We show that the maximum quantum anomaly gradually reduces as effective range increases while the maximum position shifts towards the weak-coupling limit. We extrapolate our few-body results to the many-body limit and find a good agreement with the experimental measurements. Our results may also be directly applicable to a few-fermion system prepared in microtraps and optical tweezers.

description: The difficulty of simulating quantum dynamics depends on the norm of the Hamiltonian. When the Hamiltonian varies with time, the simulation complexity should only depend on this quantity instantaneously. We develop quantum simulation algorithms that exploit this intuition. For sparse Hamiltonian simulation, the gate complexity scales with the $L^1$ norm $\int_{0}^{t}\mathrm{d}τ\left\lVert H(τ)\right\lVert_{\max}$, whereas the best previous results scale with $t\max_{τ\in[0,t]}\left\lVert H(τ)\right\lVert_{\max}$. We also show analogous results for Hamiltonians that are linear combinations of unitaries. Our approaches thus provide an improvement over previous simulation algorithms that can be substantial when the Hamiltonian varies significantly. We introduce two new techniques: a classical sampler of time-dependent Hamiltonians and a rescaling principle for the Schrödinger equation. The rescaled Dyson-series algorithm is nearly optimal with respect to all parameters of interest, whereas the sampling-based approach is easier to realize for near-term simulation. These algorithms could potentially be applied to semi-classical simulations of scattering processes in quantum chemistry.

A Cognitively Diagnostic Modeling Approach to Diagnosing Misconceptions and Subskills
Creators: Elbulok, Musa
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Quantitative psychology
subject: Statistics
subject: FOS: Mathematics
subject: Multiple-choice examinations
subject: Bayesian statistical decision theory

description: The objective of the present project was to propose a new methodology for measuring misconceptions and subskills simultaneously using diagnostic information available from incorrect alternatives in multiple-choice tests designed for that purpose. Misconceptions are systematic and persistent errors that represent a learned intentional incorrect response (Brown & VanLehn, 1980; Ozkan & Ozkan, 2012). In prior research, Lee and Corter (2011) found that classification accuracy for their Bayesian Network misconception diagnosis models improved when latent higher-order subskills and specific wrong answers were included. Here, these contributions are adapted to a cognitively diagnostic measurement approach using the multiple-choice Deterministic Inputs Noisy “And” Gate (MC-DINA) model, first developed by de la Torre (2009b), by specifying dependencies between attributes to measure latent misconceptions and subskills simultaneously. A simulation study was conducted employing the proposed methodology (referred to as MC-DINA-H) across sample sizes (500, 1000, 2,000, and 5,000 examinees) and test lengths (15, 30, and 60 items) conditions. Eight attributes (4 misconceptions and 4 subskills) were included in the main simulation study. Attribute classification accuracy of the MC-DINA-H was compared to four less complex models and was found to more accurately classify attributes only when the attributes were relatively frequently required by multiple-choice options in the diagnostic assessment. The findings suggest that each attribute should be required by at least 15-20 percent of options in the diagnostic assessment.
Cue Phrase Classification Using Machine Learning

Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Cue phrases may be used in a discourse sense to explicitly signal discourse structure, but also in a sentential sense to convey semantic rather than structural information. Correctly classifying cue phrases as discourse or sentential is critical in natural language processing systems that exploit discourse structure, e.g., for performing tasks such as anaphora resolution and plan recognition. This paper explores the use of machine learning for classifying cue phrases as discourse or sentential. Two machine learning programs (Cgrendel and C4.5) are used to induce classification models from sets of pre-classified cue phrases and their features in text and speech. Machine learning is shown to be an effective technique for not only automating the generation of classification models, but also for improving upon previous results. When compared to manually derived classification models already in the literature, the learned models often perform with higher accuracy and contain new linguistic insights into the data. In addition, the ability to automatically construct classification models makes it easier to comparatively analyze the utility of alternative feature representations of the data. Finally, the ease of retraining makes the learning approach more scalable and flexible than manual methods.

A Cognitive Compass for a Social World: The Effects of Lay Theories on Networking Engagement
Creators: Hildebrand, Claudius Alexander
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Social psychology
subject: Sociology
subject: FOS: Sociology

description: Conventional wisdom and a wealth of research suggest that effective networks are an important key to career success. Yet, why do so many people struggle to build and maintain professional relationships? In this dissertation I argue that, rather than not knowing how to network, most people feel conflicted about the idea of networking.
      The present research applies a motivational framework to networking. Building on the idea of lay theories in motivational psychology, this dissertation investigates how lay theories of social intelligence influence networking engagement. Hereby, I distinguish between fixed (social intelligence is inborn and static) and growth (social intelligence can be nurtured and developed) theories of social intelligence and develop a new Lay Theories of Social Intelligence (LaySI) scale.
      Results show that LaySI is a distinct construct and predicts engagement in networking above and beyond the effects of personality traits. Using multiple methodologies, including experiments and field studies, this dissertation shows that people holding fixed theories not only feel less engaged, but also are less likely to create new relationships and seek fewer opportunities to network. Tracing the mechanism for reduced engagement, this dissertation identifies two mediators by which fixed theories inhibit networking engagement: people’s attitudes toward networking as immoral and futile endeavor. Important for professionals, the present research shows that lay theories can be updated by providing new information to promote networking engagement, even among seasoned executives. By examining what people actually believe or feel about professional networking, the present research contributes to a more complete understanding of the motivational psychology of networking. Similarly, this dissertation enriches and extends traditional networks literature by demonstrating how cognitive antecedents influence the formation of relationships.

description: This paper describes how robust parsing techniques can be fruitful applied for building a query generation module which is part of a pipelined NLP architecture aimed at process natural language queries in a restricted domain. We want to show that semantic robustness represents a key issue in those NLP systems where it is more likely to have partial and ill-formed utterances due to various factors (e.g. noisy environments, low quality of speech recognition modules, etc...) and where it is necessary to succeed, even if partially, in extracting some meaningful information.

We show in particular that the asymptotic decay, depending on system dynamical properties, can be either exponential, with a rate determined by the gap in the discretized Perron-Frobenius operator, or algebraic, with the same power as for correlation functions decay. Therefore the decay of fidelity is strictly connected to correlations decay.

description: The reasons for economic development vary from one region to another and from one country to another. Among these factors can be highlighted: education, infrastructure, resources and capital. Each country chooses which factor will prioritize for its development and growth. Within infrastructure, logistics, is a crucial element for the basic development of an economy. Being a crucial factor in the growth of a nation, logistics need to be planned so that it has efficiency and effectiveness in its activities. Already in the service provision, there is also a strong demand for high performance in relation to customer satisfaction, perceived quality of service and delivery time, for example.Thus, the planning and good logistics management of service are decisive factors for companies that seek to stand out and survive in the competitive market. The focal point of this work is to present the service logistics as a key element in the offshore industry, and to expose its bottlenecks in Brazil to emphasize and boost the need for development in the sector.

 C o m m e n t: This species was originally attributed to Acrotona THOMSON 1859, at that time a subgenus of Atheta THOMSON 1858 (BRUNDIN 1952). According to SMETANA (2004), it was subsequently moved to the Atheta subgenus Paradilacra BERNHAUER 1909. Based on a study of type material, however, GUSAROV (2003) discovered that Atheta densissima BERNHAUER 1909, the type species of Paradilacra, in fact refers to the subtribe Tachyusina, which today is doubtfully placed in the Oxypodini. A comparison of the sexual characters of Acrotona oxypodoides with the illustrations of Atheta densissima provided by GUSAROV (2003) leaves no doubt that the two species are not congeneric. Like its close relative, Acrotona pellucida (FAUVEL 1878), A. oxypodoides clearly belongs to the Athetini, with which it shares an athetal bridge of the aedeagus (absent in A. densissima) and numerous other characters. Although the sexual characters suggest that A. oxypodoides and A. pellucida may not be congeneric with the type species of Acrotona either, both species are moved from Paradilacra and tentatively placed in Acrotona again.
 Originally described from Tunisia, A. oxypodoides has subsequently been recorded also from Italy, France, Morocco, and Algeria (SMETANA 2004). The above specimens from Spain represent new country records.

description: The article is devoted to the problems of periodic medical examinations of agricultural workers. The research methodology is based on the analysis of the presence of harmful production factors in the workplace of agricultural workers, the generalization of research materials on the impact of these factors on the health of workers and the analysis of problems that occur during periodic medical examinations. In conclusion, recommendations are made to improve the organization and efficiency of periodic medical examinations of agricultural workers, including: labor protection services of agricultural enterprises to require medical institutions to study in advance and timely identify early signs of occupational pathology, taking into account the actual risk factors in agriculture, to actively implement telemedicine technologies that can "bring" a highly qualified doctor to rural workers, go to remote medical monitoring of the health status of employees, receive timely primary information about changes in health status and conduct periodic medical examinations based on the primary data on changes in the health status of employees, then deepen the target studies to make a decision about the diagnosis, prevention measures, etc. This will ensure timely preventive treatment and organize rational employment of employees with signs of the initial stage of occupational diseases.

description: The exploration of the scalar sector of the Standard Model is at the core of current and future science programs at collider experiments, with increasing focus on the self-interaction of the Higgs boson. This important parameter of the Higgs sector can be measured in various channels, among the production of a Higgs boson associated with a top-quark pair, $\bar{t}thh$. In this paper we study this channel and its potential to measure or constrain the self-coupling and possible new physics contributions at a future 100 TeV proton-proton collider. Analysing this highly complex final state adds to the sensitivity for enhanced self-coupling interactions, and we argue that a measurement of this process is a necessity to constrain blind directions in the multi-dimensional parameter space of well-motivated new physics scenarios.

Local 4/5-Law and Energy Dissipation Anomaly in Turbulence

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)

description: A strong local form of the ``4/3-law'' in turbulent flow has been proved recently by Duchon and Robert for a triple moment of velocity increments averaged over both a bounded spacetime region and separation vector directions, and for energy dissipation averaged over the same spacetime region. Under precisely stated hypotheses, the two are proved to be proportional, by a constant 4/3, and to appear as a nonnegative defect measure in the local energy balance of singular (distributional) solutions of the incompressible Euler equations. Here we prove that the energy defect measure can be represented also by a triple moment of purely longitudinal velocity increments and by a mixed moment with one longitudinal and two tranverse velocity increments. Thus, we prove that the traditional 4/5- and 4/15-laws of Kolmogorov hold in the same local sense as demonstrated for the 4/3-law by Duchon-Robert.

description: The various speech sounds of a language are obtained by varying the shape and position of the articulators surrounding the vocal tract. Analyzing their variations is crucial for understanding speech production, diagnosing speech disorders and planning therapy. Identifying key anatomical landmarks of these structures on medical images is a pre-requisite for any quantitative analysis and the rising amount of data generated in the field calls for an automatic solution. The challenge lies in the high inter- and intra-speaker variability, the mutual interaction between the articulators and the moderate quality of the images. This study addresses this issue for the first time and tackles it by means by means of Deep Learning. It proposes a dedicated network architecture named Flat-net and its performance are evaluated and compared with eleven state-of-the-art methods from the literature. The dataset contains midsagittal anatomical Magnetic Resonance Images for 9 speakers sustaining 62 articulations with 21 annotated anatomical landmarks per image. Results show that the Flat-net approach outperforms the former methods, leading to an overall Root Mean Square Error of 3.6 pixels/0.36 cm obtained in a leave-one-out procedure over the speakers. The implementation codes are also shared publicly on GitHub.

description: We report the experimental observation of radiative recombination from Rydberg excitons in a two-dimensional semiconductor, monolayer WSe2, encapsulated in hexagonal boron nitride. Excitonic emission up to the 4s excited state is directly observed in photoluminescence spectroscopy in an out-of-plane magnetic field up to 31 Tesla. We confirm the progressively larger exciton size for higher energy excited states through diamagnetic shift measurements. This also enables us to estimate the 1s exciton binding energy to be about 170 meV, which is significantly smaller than most previous reports. The Zeeman shift of the 1s to 3s states, from both luminescence and absorption measurements, exhibits a monotonic increase of g-factor, reflecting nontrivial magnetic-dipole-moment differences between ground and excited exciton states. This systematic evolution of magnetic dipole moments is theoretically explained from the spreading of the Rydberg states in momentum space.
A City, Asleep: Revisiting and Reevaluation History and Interpretation at Mesa Verde National Park

Historic preservation

description: This thesis investigates past and present preservation methodology, especially as it relates to interpretation, in order to illustrate the disciplines tendency to present carefully crafted, yet exclusive narratives at cultural sites. The problem with these subsequent stories, however, is that their positivist approach fails to acknowledge the multi-layered nature of history, which rarely is limited to one specific period or event. Using Mesa Verde National Park as my primary case study, I have taken a close look at those topics and concepts, like the National Park idea, nation building, federal legislation, tourism promotion, and Native American relations, which are seldom acknowledged in park interpretation. To further illustrate the shortcomings of these efforts, I also detail roughly 100 years of Mesa Verde's own interpretive history. This comprehensive study demonstrates how Mesa Verde has been promoted and interpreted, by who, and what it can ultimately tell us about the evolution of preservation. What emerges is a clear picture of how interpretation has adapted over the years, and also how it has remained a relatively static and cursory tool. Thus, I argue that it is increasingly important for practitioners to revisit and reevaluate their work, as well as the work of others, in order to promote more comprehensive and inclusive understandings of our nation's cultural sites.

description: Nanotechnology encompasses the development of material structures at very small scales to achieve specific properties, through which they can strengthen the effectiveness of materials, while, being lightweight, more durable, reactive, and entangled. It involves manipulation of matter at the atomic scale. This study develops and analyzes the physical, mechanical and thermal properties of a clay-supported-metal oxide nanocomposite.  The metal oxides used were CuO and ZnO metal oxides with bentonite as the supported clay. CuO and ZnO nanoparticles were synthesized by green synthesis using bitter leaf extract as the capping and reducing agent. The bentonite clay was purified, functionalized, and calcined. The prepared materials were mixed in certain proportions and molded to obtain a bentonite/CuO/ZnO Nanocomposite. The bulk density of the composite was determined using an experimental method, followed by mechanical tests such as impact tests using the Izod method, tensile strength, percent elongation at break, tensile strength at break, and yield strength on the composite using the ASTM E384 standard method. The bentonite/CuO/ZnO/ nanocomposite was also characterized using SEM/EDS, and XRD. SEM/ EDS showed that the bentonite/CuO/ZnO hybrid system obtained has a plate structure and was characterized by a large grain size distribution.
title: White Heron: Authorised Biography of Australia's Pioneering Haiku Writer Janice M Bostok
Creators: name: Dean, Sharon Elyse
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Bostok, Janice M.
subject: Haiku

description: The form of this PhD is an authorised biography of Australia’s pioneering haiku writer, Janice M Bostok, titled White Heron. For the purposes of examination, the biography’s Introduction serves as an exegesis. Drawing on material acquired through unrestricted access to the subject and her personal papers, interviews with family and friends, and meticulous research into her prolific literary output, the work employs a double-stranded narrative structure to tell the story of Bostok’s difficult childhood, extraordinary love affairs and groundbreaking creative endeavours. Inquiry into the theory of English-language haiku – a genre of ‘one-breath’ poetry that originated in ancient Japan and is now growing in prominence worldwide – is woven throughout the text. The Introduction is the main repository of material relating to the genesis of the project. It articulates the book’s original contribution to knowledge (White Heron is the first Bostok biography), and contains two prominent lines of inquiry: one haiku-related, and the other associated with biographical theory. Haiku-related concerns include: discussion of a misconception over ‘syllable counting’ commonly associated with English-language haiku; a brief history of haiku and its related forms in Japan; a short analysis of the correspondences between meditation practice and haiku practice; an appraisal of the influence of traditional Japanese poetry on writers connected with the ‘Beat Generation’ (in particular, Jack Kerouac and Gary Snyder) and, in turn, the influences of these writers on Bostok; an examination of an over-valuing of the role of Zen in haiku; and, an assessment of the value of haiku as a ‘literary art’.
A Collaborative Approach: How Pedagogues of Singing and Their Students Navigate the Solo and Choral Realms
Creators: Thompson, Derrick Lamont
Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: Music--Instruction and study

Choral singing--Instruction and study
Singing--Instruction and study

description: This qualitative case study approach was designed to examine choral and applied voice pedagogue’s similarities and differences of teaching healthy singing in the choral rehearsal and applied studio lesson while observing how their students respond and interpret the techniques used. The participants included six pedagogues (three choral, three applied voice) at the university level and one student of each pedagogue. Data were collected through pedagogue and student interviews. To support the interviews, demographic surveys, and observations of the choral rehearsal and applied studio lessons were completed. Data were coded and organized based on the four research questions. Analysis and findings were organized based on the four categories found in the study’s conceptual framework: (a) how they develop; (b) conceptualization and strategies of healthy singing; (c) other factors; and (d) student’s perspective. This research revealed that while both choral and applied voice pedagogues’ methods may vary there is consistency among the description of healthy singing and strategies that are appropriate for both settings. The study also shows that the pedagogue's background and training play a major role in the way that they currently teach. Additionally, pedagogues should remain thoughtful of the student’s abilities, repertoire choices, the rapport between them and the student, and the structure of the lesson/rehearsal. Recommendations are offered for choral and applied voice pedagogues, their students, and for future research in the field of healthy singing.

Publisher: name: Griffith University

Subjects: subject: E-learning, Saudi Arabia
subject: Culturally sensitive e-Learning
subject: E-learning tools

description: A new challenge for universities, particularly in the Muslim world, is the development of effective e-Learning environments and tools that are suitable for both distance learning and culturally acceptable mixed gender collaboration. This research evaluates and develops a culturally sensitive e-Learning system in Qassim University and King Abdulaziz University, in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). A research process involving mixed methods is applied to existing e-Learning environments to determine how to improve their quality. The aim is to develop design characteristics that ensure more useful and accessible e-Learning tools. A set of guidelines that may be applied to the design of similar e-Learning systems in Saudi Arabia, is then proposed. A number of issues have arisen as a result of the introduction of the new electronic learning environment to the educational framework of Saudi Arabia. The success of existing e-Learning systems appears to be highly dependent on the level of system functionality and interaction style. Issues of system complexity and user difficulties in the use of existing e-Learning systems may be resolved or offset by facilitating easier interaction between students and teachers. By testing the design and implementation of high quality e-Learning services in environments education for using the IS-Impact Measurement model, the levels of interaction and cooperation between users have been evaluated to identify key features of success in the e-learning system. Existing and developmental e-Learning systems have been subjected to comparison with usability heuristics and user evaluations to determine their most successful features (Katre 2007, 301).
title: Mathematically Modeling the Electrophysiological Effects of Ischaemia in the Heart
Creators: name: Barnes, Josef Peter
Publisher: name: Griffith University
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Cardiac Geometry
subject: Heart

description: Computer simulations have become an important tool for modeling the electrical behaviour of ischaemia in the heart, in order to better understand the processes involved and increase accuracy in patient diagnosis. Unfortunately, there is still not a complete understanding of the relationship between the electrical and physical properties of a heart which contains ischaemia. The work presented here focuses on obtaining a better understanding of the electrical behaviour at the epicardium due to localised ischaemia during the ST segment. This is achieved by solving the bidomain equations using both steady state and transient methods. Three separate models of increasing complexity are used to represent the cardiac geometry: a rectangular slab of ventricular tissue resting on a large volume of blood; a half-ellipsoid shape, which represents the left ventricle (filled with blood) and a final model (which contains both the left and right ventricles) that is based on experimental measurements of a dog heart.

A Comparative Analysis of Mandatory Arrest and Police Response to Domestic Violence in Torrington, CT, and New York, NY

Subjects: Human rights
Family violence
Police
Arrest

description: Domestic violence holds a very tenuous place in the world of human rights. While it violates some of the most basic human rights principles, the fact that the violence takes place in the “domestic” sphere, and is committed by a family member, often makes it so that domestic violence is considered to be a private matter, or not as serious a crime. This can be seen in the behaviors of responding police officers in the 1970s and 80s, who would often tell abusers to “take a walk around the block to cool off,” rather than arresting them. Domestic violence victims advocates and women’s rights groups pushed for new legislation on domestic violence, which resulted in the Mandatory Arrest policy being implemented in several states. The Mandatory Arrest policy stated that, with probable cause that domestic abuse had taken place, police officers were required to arrest the suspected abuser. There are many benefits to Mandatory Arrest policy, for both victims and police. However, the new policy brought unintended complications and problems for victims, several of which had extremely detrimental consequences. While new legislation has been introduced to try and fix the problems, Mandatory Arrest still remains a controversial legislation. Through qualitative research and interviews, this thesis examines, from the perspective of both police officers, and domestic violence victim advocates, the benefits and detriments of the Mandatory Arrest policy, and whether the ways the policy helps outweighs, and is worth, the downfalls of the policy, and the consequences it can have. Data from this research suggests that the Mandatory Arrest policy, while varying in provisions on a state-by-state basis, needs to be re-examined, and new legislation, policies, or provisions introduced in order to give victims more control over the process, and to hold police accountable for how they use the policy.

description: We derive a semiclassical trace formula for the level density of the three-dimensional spheroidal cavity. To overcome the divergences and discontinuities occurring at bifurcation points and in the spherical limit, the trace integrals over the action-angle variables are performed using an improved stationary phase method. The resulting semiclassical level density oscillations and shell energies are in good agreement with quantum-mechanical results. We find that the births of three-dimensional orbits through the bifurcations of planar orbits in the equatorial plane lead to considerable enhancement of shell effect for superdeformed shapes.
