description: Cognitive diagnosis models have become very popular largely because these models provide educators with an explanation for a student not performing well based on skills that have not yet been mastered, making it possible for educators to provide targeted remediation and tailor instruction to address individual strengths and weaknesses.  However, in order for these procedures to be effective, the Q-matrix which establishes the relationships between latent variables representing knowledge structures (columns) and individual items on an assessment (rows) must be carefully considered. The goal of this work is to develop a new test statistic for the detection of model misspecifications of the Q-matrix, which include both underfitting the Q-matrix and overfitting the Q-matrix.  In addition to the development of this new test statistic, this dissertation evaluated the performance of this new test statistic and developed an estimator of the asymptotic variance  based on the Fisher Information Matrix of the slip and guess parameters.
      The test statistic was evaluated by two simulation studies and also applied to the fraction subtraction dataset. The first simulation study investigated the true Type-I error rates for the test under four levels of sample size, three levels of correlation among attributes and three levels of item discrimination. Results showed that as the sample size increases the Type I error reduces to 5%. Surprisingly, the results for the relationship between Type I error and Item discrimination show that the most discriminating items (Item Discrimination of 4) have the largest Type I error rates. The power study showed that the statistic is very powerful in the detection of under-specification or over-specification of the Q-matrix with large sample sizes and/or when items are highly discriminating between students that have mastered or have not mastered a skill. Interestingly, the results when the Q matrix has multiple misspecifications the detection of under-specification is better than for over-specification when two misclassifications are being tested simultaneously. The analysis of the fraction subtraction dataset found 15% of the q-entries had enough evidence to reject the Null hypothesis. This clearly indicates that the test finds misfit in the original expert designed Q-matrix.

description: We introduce a global Landau-Ginzburg model which is mirror to several toric Deligne-Mumford stacks and describe the change of the Gromov-Witten theories under discrepant transformations. We prove a formal decomposition of the quantum cohomology D-modules (and of the all-genus Gromov-Witten potentials) under a discrepant toric wall-crossing. In the case of weighted blowups of weak-Fano compact toric stacks along toric centres, we show that an analytic lift of the formal decomposition corresponds, via the $\widehatΓ$-integral structure, to an Orlov-type semiorthogonal decomposition of topological $K$-groups. We state a conjectural functoriality of Gromov-Witten theories under discrepant transformations in terms of a Riemann-Hilbert problem.

description: We consider worst case time bounds for NP-complete problems including 3-SAT, 3-coloring, 3-edge-coloring, and 3-list-coloring. Our algorithms are based on a constraint satisfaction (CSP) formulation of these problems. 3-SAT is equivalent to (2,3)-CSP while the other problems above are special cases of (3,2)-CSP; there is also a natural duality transformation from (a,b)-CSP to (b,a)-CSP. We give a fast algorithm for (3,2)-CSP and use it to improve the time bounds for solving the other problems listed above. Our techniques involve a mixture of Davis-Putnam-style backtracking with more sophisticated matching and network flow based ideas.

description: A bicovariant calculus on the twisted inhomogeneous multiparametric $q$-groups of the $B_n,C_n,D_n$ type, and on the corresponding quantum planes, is found by means of a projection from the bicovariant calculus on $B_{n+1}$, $C_{n+1}$, $D_{n+1}$. In particular we obtain the bicovariant calculus on a dilatation-free $q$-Poincaré group $ISO_q (3,1)$, and on the corresponding quantum Minkowski space. The classical limit of the $B_n,C_n,D_n$ bicovariant calculus is discussed in detail.

description: We show theoretically how a correlation of multiple measurements on a qubit undergoing pure dephasing can be expressed as environmental noise filtering. The measurement of such correlations can be used for environmental noise spectroscopy, and the family of noise filters achievable in such a setting is broader than the one achievable with a standard approach, in which dynamical decoupling sequences are used. We illustrate the advantages of this approach by considering the case of noise spectrum with sharp features at very low frequencies. We also show how appropriately chosen correlations of a few measurements can detect the non-Gaussian character of certain environmental noises, particularly the noise affecting the qubit at the so-called optimal working point.

(I–J) Sections were semi-quantitatively scored for ADARB1 or RBM15B staining patterns as follows: the staining extent in each core was scored as 1+ (< 25% staining of tumor cells), 2+ (25–50% staining of tumor cells), 3+ (50% to 75% staining of tumor cells), or 4+ (> 75% staining of tumor cells). Additionally, the staining intensity was quantified as 0 (negative), 1+ (weak), 2+ (intermediate), or 3+ (strong). The final immunoreaction score was obtained by multiplying the intensity and extension values (range 0–12) and the samples were grouped as 1+ (score 0–2), 2+ (score 3–4), 3+ (score 6–8) and 4+ (score 9–12) staining. Meanwhile, for statistical purposes, scores of 3+ and 4+ was defined as high expression and the other final scores were considered as low expression, and then chi-squared test was used to compare the differences between high-expression and low-expression groups.

description: We detail the global structure of the five-dimensional bulk for the cosmological evolution of Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati braneworlds. The picture articulated here provides a framework and intuition for understanding how metric perturbations leave (and possibly reenter) the brane universe. A bulk observer sees the braneworld as a relativistically expanding bubble, viewed either from the interior (in the case of the Friedmann-Lemaitre-Robertson-Walker phase) or the exterior (the self-accelerating phase). Shortcuts through the bulk in the first phase can lead to an apparent brane causality violation and provide an opportunity for the evasion of the horizon problem found in conventional four-dimensional cosmologies. Features of the global geometry in the latter phase anticipate a depletion of power for linear metric perturbations on large scales.

description: We present a numerical method for interface-resolved simulations of evaporating two-fluid flows based on the volume-of-fluid (VoF) method. The method has been implemented in an efficient FFT-based two-fluid Navier-Stokes solver, using an algebraic VoF method for the interface representation, and extended with the transport equations of thermal energy and vaporized liquid mass for the single-component evaporating liquid in an inert gas. The conservation of vaporizing liquid and computation of the interfacial mass flux are performed with the aid of a reconstructed signed-distance field, which enables the use of well-established methods for phase change solvers based on level-set methods. The interface velocity is computed with a novel approach that ensures accurate mass conservation, by constructing a divergence-free extension of the liquid velocity field onto the entire domain. The resulting approach does not depend on the type of interface reconstruction (i.e.\ can be employed in both algebraic and geometrical VoF methods). We extensively verified and validated the overall method against several benchmark cases, and demonstrated its excellent mass conservation and good overall performance for simulating evaporating two-fluid flows in two and three dimensions.

description: The mass of the W boson, $M_W$, plays a central role for high-precision tests of the electroweak theory. Confronting precise theoretical predictions with the accurately measured experimental value provides a high sensitivity to quantum effects of the theory entering via loop contributions. The currently most accurate prediction for the W boson mass in the Minimal R-symmetric Supersymmetric Standard Model (MRSSM) is presented. Employing the on-shell scheme, it combines all numerically relevant contributions that are known in the Standard Model (SM) in a consistent way with all MRSSM one-loop corrections. Special care is taken in the treatment of the triplet scalar vacuum expectation value $v_T$ that enters the prediction for $M_W$ already at lowest order. In the numerical analysis the decoupling properties of the supersymmetric loop contributions and the comparison with the MSSM are investigated. Potentially large numerical effects of the MRSSM-specific $Λ$ superpotential couplings are highlighted. The comparison with existing results in the literature is discussed.

description: This study explores how Taiwanese immigrant mothers in Australia perceive the influence of their acculturation on the identity formation of their children. To date, little research has been undertaken on the effect of Taiwanese immigrant mothers’ acculturation on the identity formation of their children in Australia. Social constructionism, the method of constant comparisons and thematic analysis underpinned the qualitative methodology which was employed to understand the lived experience of Taiwanese immigrant mothers. Data collection was predominantly undertaken by using in-depth, semi-structured interviews with 41 participants from South-East Queensland. Of these participants, 20 were married to Taiwanese males while the others (21) were married to non-Taiwanese males. Six mothers have a full-time job or own a business with their husband, while the majority is full-time housewives. Individual interviews subject to forward and back translation were conducted in Mandarin. All interview data were transcribed and translated into English, and were managed with a qualitative data software (MAXQDA) to handle the coding tasks.

description: Squeezed vacuum states enable optical measurements below the quantum limit and hence are a valuable resource for applications in quantum metrology and also quantum communication. However, most available sources require high pump powers in the milliwatt range and large setups, which hinders real world applications. Furthermore, degenerate operation of such systems presents a challenge. Here, we use a compact crystalline whispering gallery mode resonator made of lithium niobate as a degenerate parametric oscillator. We demonstrate about 1.4 dB noise reduction below the shot noise level for only 300 $μ\text{W}$ of pump power in degenerate single mode operation. Furthermore, we report a record pump threshold as low as 1.35 $μ\text{W}$. Our results show that the whispering gallery based approach presents a promising platform for a compact and efficient source for nonclassical light.

A Landscape of War: On the Nature of Conflict in South Lebanon

Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: Ethnology
War

description: This dissertation is an inquiry into the naturalization of war. It examines forms of life in a rural borderland that is also a battlefield through an ethnographic exploration of the intertwining of war and everyday living on Lebanon's southern border with Israel. Life in these parts, for the most part, revolves around tobacco farming, olive cropping, goat herding and other forms of agricultural practice generating subsistence and income and underpinning an ongoing presence in place. The southern borderland is also entangled in an ongoing war condition that cyclically erupts, disrupts, destructs, (re)constructs, and has done for generations now. War in South Lebanon has come to be inhabited as "natural"; it is by now a part of southern life, or better yet, insistently generative of a kind of life that continues - in whichever ways and outside of moral judgments - to be viable here. My inquiry unfolds as a journey through landscape as a place of simultaneous dwelling and warring and concerns itself with what constitutes ordinary living in a rural borderland that is also a battlefield. In what follows I explore how the tobacco-farming village communities of South Lebanon inhabit a long-term and ongoing condition of war in its ordinary, everyday and also violent guises. How do the pathways and rhythms of living in a rural-agricultural margin mesh with the materials and space-times of war? How are military conflicts past, recent and expected recognized, resisted, claimed, encountered, nurtured, inhabited as tabi'i, natural and `adi, habitual, normal? I conceive of this work as an attempt to place war in life; that is to think of war as a condition as generative and constructive (of life) as it is also destructive. What follows then is an ethnographic attempt to give breathing space to the life that goes on in a place of enduring war.

description: We present a new method to transform the spectral pixel information of a micrograph into an affine geometric description, which allows us to analyze the morphology of granular materials. We use spectral and pulse-coupled neural network based segmentation techniques to generate blobs, and a newly developed algorithm to extract dilated contours. A constrained Delaunay tesselation of the contour points results in a triangular mesh. This mesh is the basic ingredient of the Chodal Axis Transform, which provides a morphological decomposition of shapes. Such decomposition allows for grain separation and the efficient computation of the statistical features of granular materials.

description: We analyze S-receiver functions to investigate variations of lithospheric thickness below the entire region of Turkey and surrounding areas. The teleseismic data used here have been compiled combining all permanent seismic stations which are open to public access. We obtained almost 12 000 S-receiver function traces characterizing the seismic discontinuities between the Moho and the discontinuity at 410 km depth. Common-conversion-point stacks yield well-constrained images of the Moho and of the lithosphere–asthenosphere boundary (LAB). Results from previous studies suggesting shallow LAB depths between 80 and 100 km are confirmed in the entire region outside the subduction zones. We did not observe changes in LAB depths across the North and East Anatolian faults. To the east of Cyprus, we see indications of the Arabian LAB. The African plate is observed down to about 150 km depth subducting to the north and east between the Aegean and Cyprus with a tear at Cyprus. We also observed the discontinuity at 410 km depth and a negative discontinuity above the 410, which might indicate a zone of partial melt above this discontinuity.

Range-rate data
K-band ranging

description: In the generation of the standard GRACE gravity fields, the K-Band Ranging (KBR) system data is used in its range-rate mode. Because time derivatives attenuate the gravity signal relative to the data noise at the lower frequencies, it is thought that solutions using range data might have better low-degree (low-frequency) characteristics. The purpose of this work is to detail the methods required to generate range-based solutions, to determine some of the properties of these solutions, and then to compare them to range-rate-based solutions. It is demonstrated that range-based solutions are feasible, and that the most effective KBR parameterization in this analysis is to estimate the bias parameter four times per orbital revolution, the bias-rate parameter twice per revolution, and the bias-acceleration and periodic parameters once per revolution. This parameterization yields an improvement in the accuracy of the earth oblateness term, C₂₀, of almost a factor of three, compared to an independent measurement. However, this improvement comes at the expense of the accuracy of the higher-degree gravity coefficients

Incoherent pair tunneling in the pseudogap phase of cuprates

description: Motivated by a recent experiment by Bergeal et al., we reconsider incoherent pair tunneling in a cuprate junction formed from an optimally doped superconducting lead and an underdoped normal-metallic lead. We study the impact of the pseudogap on the pair tunneling by describing fermions in the underdoped lead with a model self-energy that has been developed to reproduce photoemission data. We find that the pseudogap causes an additional temperature-dependent suppression of the pair contribution to the tunneling current. We discuss consistency with available experimental data and propose future experimental directions.
Comments on Quantum Aspects of Three-Dimensional de Sitter Gravity

description: We investigate the quantum aspects of three-dimensional gravity with a positive cosmological constant. The reduced phase space of the three-dimensional de Sitter gravity is obtained as the space which consists of the Kerr-de Sitter space-times and their Virasoro deformations. A quantization of the phase space is carried out by the geometric quantization of the coadjoint orbits of the asymptotic Virasoro symmetries. The Virasoro algebras with real central charges are obtained as the quantum asymptotic symmetries. The states of globally de Sitter and point particle solutions become the primary states of the unitary irreducible representations of the Virasoro algebras. It is shown that those states are perturbatively stable at the quantum level. The Virasoro deformations of these solutions correspond to the excited states in the unitary irreducible representations. In view of the dS/CFT correspondence, we also study the relationship between the Liouville field theory obtained by a reduction of the SL(2;$\mathbb{C}$) Chern-Simons theory and the three-dimensional gravity both classically and quantum mechanically. In the analyses of the both theories, the Kerr-de Sitter geometries with nonzero angular momenta do not give the unitary representations of the Virasoro algebras.

The peculiar acceleration of stellar-origin black hole binaries: measurement and biases with LISA

description: We investigate the ability of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) to measure the center of mass acceleration of stellar-origin black hole binaries emitting gravitational waves. Our analysis is based on the idea that the acceleration of the center of mass induces a time variation in the redshift of the gravitational wave, which in turn modifies its waveform. We confirm that while the cosmological acceleration is too small to leave a detectable imprint on the gravitational waveforms observable by LISA, larger peculiar accelerations may be measurable for sufficiently long lived sources. We focus on stellar mass black hole binaries, which will be detectable at low frequencies by LISA and near coalescence by ground based detectors. These sources may have large peculiar accelerations, for instance, if they form in nuclear star clusters or in AGN accretion disks. If that is the case, we find that in an astrophysical population calibrated to the LIGO-Virgo observed merger rate, LISA will be able to measure the peculiar acceleration of a small but significant fraction of the events if the mission lifetime is extended beyond the nominal duration of 4 years. In this scenario LISA will be able to assess whether black hole binaries form close to galactic centers, particularly in AGN disks, and will thus help discriminate between different formation mechanisms. Although for a nominal 4 years LISA mission the peculiar acceleration effect cannot be measured, a consistent fraction of events may be biased by strong peculiar accelerations which, if present, may imprint large systematic errors on some waveform parameters. In particular, estimates of the luminosity distance could be strongly biased and consequently induce large systematic errors on LISA measurements of the Hubble constant with stellar mass black hole binaries.

description: The large sieve method has been used extensively, beginning with Bombieri in 1965, to provide bounds on the number of zeros of Dirichlet L-functions near the line σ = 1. Using the Kuznetsov trace formula and the work of Deshouillers and Iwaniec on Kloosterman sums, it is possible to derive large sieve inequalities for the Fourier coefficients of Maass cusp forms, which may then similarly be used to study the corresponding Hecke-Maass L-functions. Following an approach developed by Gallagher for Dirichlet L-functions, this thesis shows how the large sieve method may be used to prove a zero density estimate, averaged over the Laplace eigenvalues, for Maass cusp forms of weight zero for the congruence subgroup Γ₀(q) for any positive integer q.

description: A long (110 cMpc/$h$) and deep absorption trough in the Ly$α$ forest has been observed extending down to redshift 5.5 in the spectrum of ULAS J0148+0600. Although no Ly$α$ transmission is detected, Ly$β$ spikes are present which has led to claims that the gas along this trough must be ionized. Using high resolution cosmological radiative transfer simulations in large volumes, we show that in a scenario where reionization ends late ($z \sim 5.2$), our simulations can reproduce troughs as long as observed. In this model, we find that the troughs are caused by islands of neutral hydrogen. Small ionized holes within the neutral islands allow for the transmission of Ly$β$. We have also modelled the Ly$α$ emitter population around the simulated troughs, and show that there is a deficit of Ly$α$ emitters close to the trough as is observed.

Quantum Nature of Black Holes: Fast Scrambling versus Echoes

description: Two seemingly distinct notions regarding black holes have captured the imagination of theoretical physicists over the past decade: First, black holes are conjectured to be fast scramblers of information, a notion that is further supported through connections to quantum chaos and decay of mutual information via AdS/CFT holography. Second, black hole information paradox has motivated exotic quantum structure near horizons of black holes (e.g., gravastars, fuzzballs, or firewalls) that may manifest themselves through delayed gravitational wave echoes in the aftermath of black hole formation or mergers, and are potentially observable by LIGO/Virgo observatories. By studying various limits of charged AdS/Schwarzschild black holes we show that, if properly defined, the two seemingly distinct phenomena happen on an identical timescale of log(Radius)/$(π\times {\rm Temperature})$. We further comment on the physical interpretation of this coincidence and the corresponding holographic interpretation of black hole echoes.

Combined search for supersymmetry with photons in proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV
Creators: name: CMS Collaboration

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Experiment (hep-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A combination of four searches for new physics involving signatures with at least one photon and large missing transverse momentum, motivated by generalized models of gauge-mediated supersymmetry (SUSY) breaking, is presented. All searches make use of proton-proton collision data at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV, which were recorded with the CMS detector at the LHC in 2016, and correspond to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$. Signatures with at least one photon and large missing transverse momentum are categorized into events with two isolated photons, events with a lepton and a photon, events with additional jets, and events with at least one high-energy photon. No excess of events is observed beyond expectations from standard model processes, and limits are set in the context of gauge-mediated SUSY. Compared to the individual searches, the combination extends the sensitivity to gauge-mediated SUSY in both electroweak and strong production scenarios by up to 100 GeV in neutralino and chargino masses, and yields the first CMS result combining various SUSY searches in events with photons at $\sqrt{s} =$ 13 TeV.

Axion superradiance in rotating neutron stars

description: It is a well-known fact that compact gravitating objects admit bound state configurations for massive bosonic fields. In this work we describe a new class of superradiant instabilities of axion bound states in neutron star magnetospheres. The instability arises from the mixing of axion and photon modes in the magnetic field of the neutron star which extract energy from the rotating magnetosphere. Unlike for black holes, where the dissipation required for superradiance is provided by an absorbative horizon, the non-hermitian dynamics in this paper come from the resistivity in the stellar magnetosphere arising from a finite bulk conductivity. The axion field mixes with photon modes which superradiantly scatter off the magnetosphere, extracting rotational energy which is then deposited back into the axion sector leading to an instability. We derive the superradiant eigenfrequencies for the axion-photon system using quantum mechanical perturbation theory on the axion boundstate, drawing an analogy with atomic selection rules. We then compare the characteristic time scale of the instability to the spin-down measurements of pulsars which limit the allowed rate of angular momentum extraction from neutron stars.
