description: We have investigated the electronic structure of A-site ordered CaCu$_3$Ti$_4$O$_{12}$ as a function of temperature by using angle-integrated and -resolved photoemission spectroscopies. Intrinsic changes of the electronic structure have been successfully observed in the valence band region by the careful consideration of charging effects. The obtained photoemission results have revealed that the intensity of the nearly non-dispersive Cu 3$d$-O 2$p$ hybridized bands at the binding energy of $\sim$2 eV increases with decreasing temperature from 300 to 120 K. This suggests that the density of the localized states, caused by the strong correlation effects, enhances as temperature decreases.

title: Reviving and Safeguarding Intangible Traditional Culture: A Case Study in the Use of Game Technology to Revive and Safeguard Beijing Opera

subject: Intangible cultural heritage

description: "Full of Chinese cultural facts, Beijing Opera presents the audience with an encyclopaedia of Chinese culture, as well as unfolding stories, beautiful paintings, exquisite costumes, graceful gestures and martial arts" (Chinese Ministry of Culture, 2003, p. 1). The arias of Beijing Opera derived from Kunqu, Qinqiang, Xipi, Erhuang and other local operas. Kunqu has a more than 600 year’s history and has been listed as one of the Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in 2001 (UNESCO, 2003). The opera’s acrobatic fighting originated from Chinese martial art that is considered as an indispensable part of Chinese traditional culture, and its facial make-ups can be traced back to sacrifices and ceremonies of primitive tribes in ancient China. Moreover, Beijing Opera contains Confucius’ LiYue theory (Politeness and Happiness), Chinese philosophy of Zhonghe (Harmony), national consciousness of history worship and ancestor respect, and aesthetic habit (Chen, 1995). However, few people, especially the youth, would like to enjoy the art of the Beijing Opera. It would seem that Beijing Opera will die a slow death like many traditional cultural practices around the world. This project investigates how the intangible cultural heritage of Beijing Opera can be sustained into the future. It is argued that the popular appeal of electronic games can be exploited to seed future interest in Beijing Opera. This research project proposes a design concept for an electronic game based on Beijing Opera. Measures taken by selected countries on safeguarding the intangible cultural heritage are discussed, and the tri-relationships among intangible cultural transmission, children and electronic games are explored to prove that electronic games can be utilized as an efficient tool to transmit and safeguard traditional intangible cultural heritages. Surveys conducted as part of this research showed positive results. Chapter 1 introduces the project. Chapter two discusses what intangible cultural heritage is and what various nation states are doing to preserve such culture. Chapter three considers why an educational but entertaining game based on Beijing Opera is feasible to preserve traditional cultural heritage. Chapter four argues why older children are the optimum target group for such a game. Chapter five considers the positive and negative effects of game playing. Chapter six argues the design concept while Chapter seven concludes the project by way of summary of findings. As many countries encounter the same problem of how to preserve their traditional cultural heritage, this research addresses a global issue of immediate significance.

description: We consider passive scalar convected by multi-scale random velocity field with short yet finite temporal correlations. Taking Kraichnan's limit of a white Gaussian velocity as a zero approximation we develop perturbation theory with respect to a small correlation time and small non-Gaussianity of the velocity. We derive the renormalization (due to temporal correlations and non-Gaussianity) of the operator of turbulent diffusion. That allows us to calculate the respective corrections to the anomalous scaling exponents of the scalar field and show that they continuously depend on velocity correlation time and the degree of non-Gaussianity. The scalar exponents are thus non universal as was predicted by Shraiman and Siggia on a phenomenological ground (CRAS {\bf 321}, 279, 1995).

description: We report on the inelastic-scattering rate of electrons on phonons and relaxation of electron energy studied by means of magnetoconductance, and photoresponse, respectively, in a series of strongly disordered superconducting NbN films. The studied films with thicknesses in the range from 3 to 33 nm are characterized by different Ioffe-Regel parameters but an almost constant product q_Tl(q_T is the wave vector of thermal phonons and l is the elastic mean free path of electrons). In the temperature range 14-30 K, the electron-phonon scattering rates obey temperature dependencies close to the power law 1/τ_{e-ph} \sim T^n with the exponents n = 3.2-3.8. We found that in this temperature range τ_{e-ph} and n of studied films vary weakly with the thickness and square resistance. At 10 K electron-phonon scattering times are in the range 11.9-17.5 ps. The data extracted from magnetoconductance measurements were used to describe the experimental photoresponse with the two-temperature model. For thick films, the photoresponse is reasonably well described without fitting parameters, however, for thinner films, the fit requires a smaller heat capacity of phonons. We attribute this finding to the reduced density of phonon states in thin films at low temperatures. We also show that the estimated Debye temperature in the studied NbN films is noticeably smaller than in bulk material.

description: Lead is a global health hazard and reducing environmental exposures to lead is becoming increasingly important as negative health impacts are documented at lower levels of exposure. Soils, an important source of lead exposure in children, represent a largely untested reservoir of accumulated past and present lead contamination retained in the surface. Concentrations of soil lead are very spatially heterogeneous, however, and testing is required to identify whether site-specific soils present a hazard. In this dissertation I outline the several ways to increase testing and awareness about soil-lead contamination to provide individuals with the information needed to prevent exposure to soil lead. Chapter one presents a new field procedure for use by the general public to screen soils for hazardous levels of lead that is based on determining bioaccessible lead. Chapter two describes the delineation of soil-lead hotspots in four mining-impacted towns in Peru and reveals that parents using the field procedure identified a hotspot missed by previous testing. In this study, we find child blood lead information is associated with parent cleanliness, which may represent a pathway for child exposure to dust and soil lead, although no associations are seen directly with soil lead concentrations. In chapter three, Peruvian high school students use the field procedure in their science classes to identify hotspots of soil lead and share this information with their community. Finally, chapter four highlights that extremely elevated concentrations of soil lead are not limited to far-off mining communities but are also present locally in New York City. Soil core data collected does not reveal a single source or blanket atmospheric inputs, but rather highlights the variability of deposition that requires widespread testing.
Strong pinning theory of thermal vortex creep in type II superconductors

description: We study thermal effects on pinning and creep in type-II superconductors where vortices interact with a low density $n_p$ of strong point-like defects with pinning energy $e_p$ and extension $ξ$, the vortex core size. Defects are classified as strong if the interaction between a single pin and an individual vortex leads to the appearance of bistable solutions describing pinned and free vortex configurations. Extending the strong pinning theory to account for thermal fluctuations, we provide a quantitative analysis of vortex depinning and creep. We determine the thermally activated transitions between bistable states using Kramer's rate theory and find the non-equilibrium steady-state occupation of vortex states. The latter depends on the temperature $T$ and vortex velocity $v$ and determines the current--voltage (or force--velocity) characteristic of the superconductor at finite temperatures. We find that the $T=0$ linear excess-current characteristic $v \propto (j-j_c) \, Θ(j-j_c)$ with its sharp transition at the critical current density $j_c$, keeps its overall shape but is modified in three ways due to thermal creep: a downward renormalization of $j_c$ to the thermal depinning current density $j_\mathrm{dp}(T) < j_c$, a smooth rounding of the characteristic around $j_\mathrm{dp}(T)$, and the appearance of thermally assisted flux flow (TAFF) ${v \propto j \exp(-U_0/k_{\rm \scriptscriptstyle B} T)}$ at small drive $j \ll j_c$, with the activation barrier $U_0$ defined through the energy landscape at the intersection of free and pinned branches. This characteristic emphasizes the persistence of pinning of creep at current densities beyond critical.

description: The first reports of bacteria as a cancer therapy date back to the pioneering work of Dr. William Coley–now widely regarded as the father of immunotherapy. As far back as 1891, Coley demonstrated that the intratumoral injection of live and later heat-killed isolates of Streptococcus pyogenes and Serratia marcescens could induce durable remission in patients with bone and soft tissue sarcoma. While this therapy was deemed to unsafe at the time, Coley’s findings have formed the basis for our modern understanding of immunology and cancer immunotherapy. Over the past two decades, the advent of synthetic biology is driving a new era of medicine through the genetic programming of living cells. This transformative approach enables the creation of engineered systems that sense and respond to diverse environments, permitting safe and effective targeted delivery of therapeutic payloads within disease sites. In this thesis, I seek to utilize principles from synthetic biology and immunology to engineer bacteria for immunotherapeutic delivery. I have developed multiple strains of non-pathogenic E. coli capable of colonizing solid tumors and delivering diverse immunotherapeutic payloads specifically within the tumor. This local delivery approach enables the utilization of therapeutic agents that may be otherwise systemically toxic. In one instance, we engineered an encoded nanobody antagonist of CD47 (CD47nb), an anti-phagocytic receptor commonly overexpressed in several human cancers. We show that delivery of CD47nb by tumor-colonizing bacteria increases activation of tumor-infiltrating T cells, stimulates rapid tumor regression, prevents metastasis, and leads to long-term survival in a syngeneic tumor model. Thus, engineered bacteria may be used for safe and local delivery of diverseimmunotherapeutic payloads leading to systemic antitumor immunity.

Engaging Anchor Institutions in the 21st Century: An Analysis of Strategies for Sustainable Economic Growth and Health Equity

description: This thesis seeks to understand how anchor institutions can operate as drivers us sustainable economic development and champions of health equity. Specifically, it seeks to identify a successful outline for strategies, programs, and policies to connect economic activity and health outcomes to the success of institutions. Anchor institutions can have a powerful impact on urban development initiatives. These institutions are magnets for economic development; they encourage urban reinvention, civic pride and are hubs of attraction for people outside of the physical boundaries of the city. Rooted in their community, there is an entrenched social responsibility and civic engagement. The fate of such institutions is closely tied to the health and wellbeing of the surrounding neighborhood and city. Fostering collaboration between silos of government (planning and public health), anchor institutions, and communities can be a highly effective solution for urban economic development and community sustainability. There is serious potential for collaborative innovation by government, educational or corporate institutions, and community organizations as a successful model for urban revitalization and healthy communities. New collaborative efforts combined with innovative urban policy strategies are needed if we are to make meaningful progress in the battle to enhance city life.

description: The Information Bottleneck (IB) principle has emerged as a promising approach for enhancing the generalization, robustness, and interpretability of deep neural networks, demonstrating efficacy across image segmentation, document clustering, and semantic communication. Among IB implementations, the IB Lagrangian method, employing Lagrangian multipliers, is widely adopted. While numerous methods for the optimizations of IB Lagrangian based on variational bounds and neural estimators are feasible, their performance is highly dependent on the quality of their design, which is inherently prone to errors. To address this limitation, we introduce Structured IB, a framework for investigating potential structured features. By incorporating auxiliary encoders to extract missing informative features, we generate more informative representations. Our experiments demonstrate superior prediction accuracy and task-relevant information preservation compared to the original IB Lagrangian method, even with reduced network size.
Engaging in effectiveness: the role of challenge in well-being and welfare

Subjects: subject: Psychology

description: What makes an animal's life worth living? Animal welfare scientists have been investigating this question in captive animals for nearly half a century. It has also attracted the attention of academics in other fields because this line of inquiry may improve how we not only manage animals in our care but also think about our own well-being. Concurrently, theories of human well-being and behavior are beginning to play a greater role in animal welfare science. Thus, though the overlap is still limited, the fields of animal welfare and human well-being are converging. To facilitate this integration, I propose engaging in effectiveness as common ground from which to generate hypotheses regarding well-being/welfare patterns in human and other species. By engaging in effectiveness, I mean devoting one's resources to 1) obtaining desired results--value effectiveness, 2) establishing what is real--truth effectiveness, and 3) managing what happens--control effectiveness. In a series of experiments, I tested the ability of the engaging in effectiveness model to account for human and rat behavior. The first set of studies (in humans only) confirmed that self-reported effectiveness was strongly correlated to well-being and expectations of future effectiveness/success. The second set of studies found that the frequency of effective engagement was positively correlated to effectiveness (in humans) and negatively correlated to signs of poor welfare (in rats). The third set of studies (in humans and rats) explored the opposing roles that challenges may play in welfare. By providing opportunities to be effective, challenges may enhance welfare. Conversely, by their potential to cause ineffectiveness/failure on any one of the three domains (value, truth, or control), challenges may decrease welfare. In the final set of studies (in rats only), by manipulating engagement opportunities in the homecage, preliminary validity for a novel measure of welfare was demonstrated. These four sets of studies support the engaging in effectiveness model, highlight the role of challenge in welfare/well-being, and suggest new avenues of research in humans and other animals.

Compared with Proof-of-Work (PoW) and Proof-of-Stake (PoS) that have been widely used in blockchain, the consensus mechanism designed on DAG structure (simply called as DAG consensus) can overcome some shortcomings such as high resource consumption, high transaction fee, low transaction throughput and long confirmation delay. However, the theoretic analysis on the DAG consensus is an untapped venue to be explored. To this end, based on one of the most typical DAG consensuses, Tangle, we investigate the impact of network load on the performance and security of the DAG-based ledger. Considering unsteady network load, we first propose a Markov chain model to capture the behavior of DAG consensus process under dynamic load conditions. The key performance metrics, i.e., cumulative weight and confirmation delay are analysed based on the proposed model. Then, we leverage a stochastic model to analyse the probability of a successful double-spending attack in different network load regimes. The results can provide an insightful understanding of DAG consensus process, e.g., how the network load affects the confirmation delay and the probability of a successful attack. Meanwhile, we also demonstrate the trade-off between security level and confirmation delay, which can act as a guidance for practical deployment of DAG-based ledgers.

description: In a previous paper we defined a class of non-compact polygonal billiards, the infinite step billiards: to a given decreasing sequence of non-negative numbers $\{p_{n}$, there corresponds a table $\Bi := \bigcup_{n\in\N} [n,n+1] \times [0,p_{n}]$. In this article, first we generalize the main result of the previous paper to a wider class of examples. That is, a.s. there is a unique escape orbit which belongs to the alpha and omega-limit of every other trajectory. Then, following a recent work of Troubetzkoy, we prove that generically these systems are ergodic for almost all initial velocities, and the entropy with respect to a wide class of ergodic measures is zero.

Energy-Efficient Time-Based Encoders and Digital Signal Processors in Continuous Time

Signal processing--Digital techniques

description: Continuous-time (CT) data conversion and continuous-time digital signal processing (DSP) are an interesting alternative to conventional methods of signal conversion and processing. This alternative proposes time-based encoding that may not suffer from aliasing; shows superior spectral properties (e.g. no quantization noise floor); and enables time-based, event-driven, flexible signal processing using digital circuits, thus scaling well with technology. Despite these interesting features, this approach has so far been limited by the CT encoder, due to both its relatively poor energy efficiency and the constraints it imposes on the subsequent CT DSP. In this thesis, we present three principles that address these limitations and help improve the CT ADC/DSP system.
      First, an adaptive-resolution encoding scheme that achieves first-order reconstruction with simple circuitry is proposed. It is shown that for certain signals, the scheme can significantly reduce the number of samples generated per unit of time for a given accuracy compared to schemes based on zero-order-hold reconstruction, thus promising to lead to low dynamic power dissipation at the system level.
      Presented next is a novel time-based CT ADC architecture, and associated encoding scheme, that allows a compact, energy-efficient circuit implementation, and achieves first-order quantization error spectral shaping. The design of a test chip, implemented in a 0.65-V 28-nm FDSOI process, that includes this CT ADC and a 10-tap programmable FIR CT DSP to process its output is described. The system achieves 32 dB – 42 dB SNDR over a 10 MHz – 50 MHz bandwidth, occupies 0.093 mm2, and dissipates 15 µW–163 µW as the input amplitude goes from zero to full scale.
      Finally, an investigation into the possibility of CT encoding using voltage-controlled oscillators is undertaken, and it leads to a CT ADC/DSP system architecture composed primarily of asynchronous digital delays. The latter makes the system highly digital and technology-scaling-friendly and, hence, is particularly attractive from the point of view of technology migration. The design of a test chip, where this delay-based CT ADC/DSP system architecture is used to implement a 16-tap programmable FIR filter, in a 1.2-V 28-nm FDSOI process, is described. Simulations show that the system will achieve a 33 dB – 40 dB SNDR over a 600 MHz bandwidth, while dissipating 4 mW.

description: The international discourse on sustainable development has matured over the past 20 years and taken on myopia of different forms and interpretations. A core requirement of the Rio Agenda is the development of national strategies for sustainable development. While industrialised countries have in many cases undertaken the effort of designing comprehensive strategies to guide sustainable development at the national level, middle-income countries and particularly developing nations struggle even with the process requirements of designing such strategies. This paper aims to shed light on several aspects of the uptake of the sustainable development discourse in middle-income and developing countries. Comparing the situation in South Africa and Kenya, challenges, stumbling blocks as well as favouring conditions for the acceptance of international sustainability discourses into national policy frameworks are identified. Specifically, the analysis assesses the impact of international norms on national policies in the areas of environmental and social protection. Since not only governmental but also non-governmental actors are receptive to the international sustainability discourse, the analysis is augmented by taking into account the contribution and transformative power of other societal actors. The findings demonstrate that non-governmental in fact support transformative processes towards adopting sustainability policies. Similarly conducive are international capacity- building and facilitation efforts. The eventual adoption however depends on the willingness and capacity of national government actors.

description: Genus OTTISTIRA Pascoe
 Ottistira Pascoe, 1872: 440. — Heller 1925: 57, 63, 89. — Lea 1930: 463. — Emden 1936: 235. — Emden 1944: 583.
 Type species: O. bispinosa Pascoe.
 REMARKS. — By using the keys to the genera of Ottistirini of Heller (1925) and Emden (1936, 1944), a specimen from Mt. Koghi, New Caledonia keys out to the genus Ottistira but in facies is just like Maleuterpes, except for femora and tibiae of the fore legs lacking teeth, and the Fijian genus Nesogenocis Lea (1930). The genera Eutinophaea Pascoe, Ottistira Pascoe, Maleuterpes Blackburn, Ittostira Heller and Nesogenocis Lea, and porobably others, are defined, if not just on one sex, on rather unreliable external characters.
DISTRIBUTION. — New Guinea, Indonesia, New Caledonia.
ETYMOLOGY. — The derivation of ‘Ottistíra’ is uncertain, probably from the Greek ‘hótti’ (= hóti) for ‘because of’, and ‘steira’ for ‘ships bow’.
