description: We consider the problem of coloring k-colorable graphs with the fewest possible colors. We present a randomized polynomial time algorithm that colors a 3-colorable graph on $n$ vertices with min O(Delta^{1/3} log^{1/2} Delta log n), O(n^{1/4} log^{1/2} n) colors where Delta is the maximum degree of any vertex. Besides giving the best known approximation ratio in terms of n, this marks the first non-trivial approximation result as a function of the maximum degree Delta. This result can be generalized to k-colorable graphs to obtain a coloring using min O(Delta^{1-2/k} log^{1/2} Delta log n), O(n^{1-3/(k+1)} log^{1/2} n) colors. Our results are inspired by the recent work of Goemans and Williamson who used an algorithm for semidefinite optimization problems, which generalize linear programs, to obtain improved approximations for the MAX CUT and MAX 2-SAT problems. An intriguing outcome of our work is a duality relationship established between the value of the optimum solution to our semidefinite program and the Lovasz theta-function. We show lower bounds on the gap between the optimum solution of our semidefinite program and the actual chromatic number; by duality this also demonstrates interesting new facts about the theta-function.

description: Lithium ion conductors and concomitantly the topic of Li solid state diffusion have become enormously popular in recent years. This is mainly due to the quest for better materials and performances of Li ion batteries, the leading electrochemical energy storage system. However, fundamental research on diffusion of the lightest ion besides H+, comprising questions about, e.g., the dimensionality of diffusion or the influence of structural disorder, has been intensified as well. Here, exemplary results of our group in the field of diffusion fundamentals are reviewed. Methodologically, the investigations extensively involve NMR techniques, but also impedance spectroscopy, mass spectrometry and neutron scattering are being applied.

description: The development of path-dependent processes basically refers to positive feedback in terms of increasing returns as the main driving forces of such processes. Furthermore, path dependence can be affected by context factors, such as different degrees of complexity. Up to now, it has been unclear whether and how different settings of complexity impact path-dependent processes and the probability of lock-in. In this paper we investigate the relationship between environmental complexity and path dependence by means of an experimental study. By focusing on the mode of information load and decision quality in chronological sequences, the study explores the impact of complexity on decision-making processes. The results contribute to both the development of path-dependence theory and a better understanding of decision- making behavior under conditions of positive feedback. Since previous path research has mostly applied qualitative case-study research and (to a minor part) simulations, this paper makes a further contribution by establishing an experimental approach for research on path dependence.

Alleviating the Sign Problem in Quantum Monte Carlo Simulations of Spin-Orbit-Coupled Multi-Orbital Hubbard Models

description: We present a strategy to alleviate the sign problem in continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo (CTQMC) simulations of the dynamical-mean-field-theory (DMFT) equations for the spin-orbit-coupled multiorbital Hubbard model. We first identify the combinations of rotationally invariant Hund coupling terms present in the relativistic basis which lead to a severe sign problem. Exploiting the fact that the average sign in CTQMC depends on the choice of single-particle basis, we propose a bonding-antibonding basis $V_{j3/2\mathrm{BA}}$ which shows an improved average sign compared to the widely used relativistic basis for most parameter sets investigated. We then generalize this procedure by introducing a stochastic optimization algorithm that exploits the space of single-particle bases and show that $V_{j3/2\mathrm{BA}}$ is very close to optimal within the parameter space investigated. Our findings enable more efficient DMFT simulations of materials with strong spin-orbit coupling.

description: The main purpose of this thesis is to determine the influence of culture on e-government (electronic government) acceptance in a developing nation namely the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). Citizens’ transactional interactions (electronic transactions or etransactions) with the government via the Internet are examined. To this end, the following research question is addressed: ‘How does culture influence the acceptance of e-transactions?’ Defining and understanding cultural factors influencing e-transactions provides an insight into the actual requirements of citizens. The findings of this study include design and implementation strategies that can serve as guidance for the Saudi government, as well as for the developers and implementers of e-transactions in the KSA. Numerous models and theories were referred to in identifying the research context requirements that enabled the analysis of e-transaction acceptance. A research model that fits the research context was developed to predict and elucidate acceptance. A sample of 671 Saudi citizens was recruited using an online survey. Structural equation modelling was used to assess the relationship between intention to use e-transactions and perceptions of e-transactions, trust, preferences for using e-transactions as a communication method with the government, social influence and cultural values. Preference for using e-transactions as a communication method, perceptions of the compatibility of e-transactions with values and citizens’ needs, communicability of the results of using e-transactions, trust in the Internet as a medium of communication with the government, and conservation values are positive significant determinants of etransaction acceptance. Conversely, trust in government agencies, as well as motivation towards gaining prestige and possessing dominance over people and resources (i.e. power value) exhibit a negative significant effect on acceptance.
Probing the Glashow resonance at electron-positron colliders

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The Glashow resonance is a rapid enhancement of the cross section for scattering of electron antineutrinos on electrons at the $W^-$ boson production threshold due to the $s$-channel contribution. This resonance is being searched for at large volume neutrino detectors in which the reaction $\barν_ee^-\rightarrow W^-$ to be initiated by cosmic ray antineutrinos of energies about 6.3 PeV. The relatively small neutrino flux reaching the Earth together with the necessity of analyzing ultra-high-energy final states make such searches challenging. We argue here that the Glashow resonance may contribute to the process $e^+e^-\rightarrow~W^+W^-$. By extending the method of the effective (equivalent) particles to the neutral leptons, we relate the distribution of the effective neutrinos in the electron to the total cross section for $e^+e^-\rightarrow~W^+W^-$. Our approach gives a good fit to existing experimental data measured at the collider LEP at CERN and allows one to interpret these measurements as an observation of the Glashow resonance. We also discuss an advantage of future electron-positron colliders for probing the resonance.

description: A search for Higgs boson pairs produced in the decay of high mass exotic resonances is presented. The search uses the bb̄bb̄ final state, analyzing 139 fb⁻¹ of proton–proton collision data at √s = 13 TeV collected with the ATLAS detector. Spin-0 and spin-2 benchmark signal models are considered and no significant deviation from the Standard Model prediction is observed. The search is combined with a complementary analysis for lower mass resonances to set upper limits on the production cross-section times HH branching ratio of new resonances in the mass range of 251 GeV to 5 TeV. In addition, the methodology for the in-situ calibration of a novel double-b-tagging algorithm (Xbb2020) using gluon to bb̄ decays is presented. Preliminary scale factors for Monte-Carlo simulation are computed using 139 fb⁻¹ of √s = 13 TeV pp collision data collected with the ATLAS detector. The completed calibration will allow the Xbb2020 algorithm to be used in future ATLAS searches for H → bb̄ decays.

description: A search for squarks and gluinos in all hadronic final states in \sqrt(s) = 13 TeV proton-proton collisions using an integrated luminosity of 13.3 fb^-1 collected by the ATLAS detector at the LHC is presented. The search is the first to use Recursive Jigsaw Reconstruction, a technique to impose a particular decay tree interpretation on events. The decay tree is resolved using jigsaw rules, which define boosts between the relevant reference frames to define an uncorrelated basis of variables to describe the decay. The Recursive Jigsaw Reconstruction variables are used to define a set of selections with sensitivity to pair produced squarks and gluinos.
      No excess is observed over the Standard Model background. Results are interpreted in simplified models where squarks and gluinos are pair produced and decay to jets and the lightest supersymmetric particle. These limits substantially extend the region of supersymmetric phase space excluded by previous searches.

description: Computing practice today depends on visual output to drive almost all user interaction. Other senses, such as audition, may be totally neglected, or used tangentially, or used in highly restricted specialized ways. We have excellent audio rendering through D-A conversion, but we lack rich general facilities for modeling and manipulating sound comparable in quality and flexibility to graphics. We need co-ordinated research in several disciplines to improve the use of sound as an interactive information channel. Incremental and separate improvements in synthesis, analysis, speech processing, audiology, acoustics, music, etc. will not alone produce the radical progress that we seek in sonic practice. We also need to create a new central topic of study in digital audio research. The new topic will assimilate the contributions of different disciplines on a common foundation. The key central concept that we lack is sound as a general-purpose information channel. We must investigate the structure of this information channel, which is driven by the co-operative development of auditory perception and physical sound production. Particular audible encodings, such as speech and music, illuminate sonic information by example, but they are no more sufficient for a characterization than typography is sufficient for a characterization of visual information.

Sagnac Interferometer as a Speed-Meter-Type, Quantum-Nondemolition Gravitational-Wave Detector
Creators: name: Chen, Yanbei

Year: 2002
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: According to quantum measurement theory, "speed meters" -- devices that measure the momentum, or speed, of free test masses -- are immune to the standard quantum limit (SQL). It is shown that a Sagnac-interferometer gravitational-wave detector is a speed meter and therefore in principle it can beat the SQL by large amounts over a wide band of frequencies. It is shown, further, that, when one ignores optical losses, a signal-recycled Sagnac interferometer with Fabry-Perot arm cavities has precisely the same performance, for the same circulating light power, as the Michelson speed-meter interferometer recently invented and studied by P. Purdue and the author. The influence of optical losses is not studied, but it is plausible that they be fairly unimportant for the Sagnac, as for other speed meters. With squeezed vacuum (squeeze factor $e^{-2R} = 0.1$) injected into its dark port, the recycled Sagnac can beat the SQL by a factor $ \sqrt{10} \simeq 3$ over the frequency band $10 {\rm Hz} \alt f \alt 150 {\rm Hz}$ using the same circulating power $I_c\sim 820$ kW as is used by the (quantum limited) second-generation Advanced LIGO interferometers -- if other noise sources are made sufficiently small. It is concluded that the Sagnac optical configuration, with signal recycling and squeezed-vacuum injection, is an attractive candidate for third-generation interferometric gravitational-wave detectors (LIGO-III and EURO).

The invariant mass spectrum of events containing multiple jets, exactly one lepton, and missing transverse energy and which are consistent with the decay of a top-antitop quark pair is studied and found to be consistent with that predicted by the Standard Model.  Upper limits on the production cross section times branching ratio of several benchmark signal models are set at a 95\% confidence level.
A Nonlinear Observer for Free-Floating Target Motion using only Pose Measurements

description: In this paper, we design a nonlinear observer to estimate the inertial pose and the velocity of a free-floating non-cooperative satellite (Target) using only relative pose measurements. In the context of control design for orbital robotic capture of such a non-cooperative Target, due to lack of navigational aids, only a relative pose estimate may be obtained from slow-sampled and noisy exteroceptive sensors. The velocity, however, cannot be measured directly. To address this problem, we develop a model-based observer which acts as an internal model for Target kinematics/dynamics and therefore, may act as a predictor during periods of no measurement. To this end, firstly, we formalize the estimation problem on the SE(3) Lie group with different state and measurement spaces. Secondly, we develop the kinematics and dynamics observer such that the overall observer error dynamics possesses a stability property. Finally, the proposed observer is validated through robust Monte-Carlo simulations and experiments on a robotic facility.

Wnt responsive SUMOylation regulates ZIC protein activity to promote murine neural crest specification

Wnt signalling

description: Neural crest cells are a transient population of multipotent cells which arise at the border of the neural and non-neural ectoderm (known as the neural plate border) during neurulation. These cells migrate through the embryo and differentiate into a range of cell types so diverse that the neural crest is sometimes termed the fourth germ layer. Neural crest cell formation and differentiation is driven by a cascade of transcription factor activity at the neural plate border in response to the combinatorial action of several major signal transduction pathways, including canonical Wnt signalling. Canonical Wnt signalling culminates in the conversion of TCF transcription factors from repressors to activators and TCF consensus DNA binding sites are known as Wnt responsive elements (WREs). The zinc finger of the cerebellum (ZIC) proteins are a family of transcriptional regulators that promote neural crest cell specification in a variety of vertebrate organisms. The ZIC proteins, however, are known to bind TCF proteins and repress Wnt mediated transcription at WREs, implying a role in preventing neural crest cell differentiation. The work presented in this thesis resolves the apparent paradox of ZIC behaviour. Cell-based reporter assays demonstrate a bi-phasic response of ZIC proteins to Wnt signalling. In a low Wnt environment ZIC proteins repress transcription at WREs but this repression is lost in a high Wnt environment. Wnt signalling promotes post-translational modification of ZIC proteins, via SUMOylation at the highly conserved but hitherto functionally uncharacterised Zinc Finger N-terminally Conserved (ZF-NC) domain. SUMOylated ZIC proteins exhibit decreased TCF interaction and decreased inhibition at WREs. Simultaneously, SUMOylated ZIC proteins exhibit increased transactivation activity of an enhancer element known to drive expression of the neural crest specifier gene Foxd3 in the specified trunk neural crest cells. These in vitro findings have a direct in vivo correlate as a mouse strain in which ZIC5 protein is refractory to SUMOylation exhibits decreased Foxd3 expression in trunk neural crest and decreased numbers of differentiated neural crest cells. Canonical Wnt signalling controls the activation of the ZIC proteins and impacts gene expression not only at classical WREs but also at ZIC responsive elements. Neural crest cell specification can therefore be restricted to the neural plate border despite a broad neurectodermal domain of ZIC expression. High concentration Wnt signals at the neural plate border will simultaneously convert ZIC and TCF proteins into transactivators, whereas in the future lateral neurectoderm repression at WREs will persist.
Aspects of Irish assisted Emigration to New South Wales 1848-1870
Creators: name: Reid, Richard
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1992

description: Contrary to popular mythology only 12% of the Irish who went to the Australian colonies in the 19th century did so as convicts. From the late 1830s it was government assisted emigration which gave Australia its Irish population. This study deals with key aspects of the emigration of approximately 44,188 Irish who went as assisted emigrants to Sydney between 1848 and 1870. The distinguishing feature of the assisted passage was its organisation by a government agency in Britain - the Land and Emigration Commissioners. Their procedures tried to ensure that only those from the rural labouring and skilled artisan classes within certain ages were selected. From the moment the emigrants left Ireland until they reached the colony their welfare was the responsibility of the Commissioners and, on arrival, the local immigration authorities helped them during their first days in the colony. In general the Irish who went on government ships to Sydney were well cared for. Young, single adult male labourers and female domestic servants made up the bulk of the emigrants. The evidence from one key Tipperary parish suggests that in the main these people were drawn from the poorer, but not the poorest, sections of rural society. While the personal financial outlay required generally prevented the poverty stricken from obtaining an assisted passage special schemes in the late 1840s and early 1850s brought some destitute Irish to Sydney. The emigrants were from every county in Ireland but by far the greatest number came from west Munster and southwest Ulster. Until the mid-1850s most were selected upon application from Ireland to the Commissioners but,from then on, an ever increasing proportion were sponsored for a passage by friends and relatives in New South Wales.

description: The science teaching self-efficacy beliefs of primary school teachers are influential on teaching practice. The purpose of this research was to determine if informal education institutions, such as science centres, could provide professional development that influenced the self-efficacy of pre-service and in-service primary school teachers, and to what extent this was influenced by their science background, years of teaching experience and external, environmental factors. Participants were also asked if places such as science centres had a role to play with, and for, teachers. A cohort of eight final year pre-service teachers and 13 in-service teachers (six from one New South Wales (NSW) school and seven from one Australian Capital Territory (ACT) school) completed a series of four one-hour workshops and were surveyed immediately before, immediately after, four months after and 11 months after the workshops. Surveys and semi-structured interviews were used in the data collection. The results of this research showed that four hours of science centre produced, professional development workshops were capable of increasing the science teaching self-efficacy of all but three participants, with observable results for at least 11 months after the completion of the workshops. The ACT in-service cohort showed the greatest overall gains in self-efficacy. The pre-service cohort showed greatest gains in confidence in, and enjoyment of, science teaching. The school environment of the in- service participant cohorts was a major determining factor of how their increased self- efficacy influenced their teaching practice, with positive and negative consequences. This thesis clearly demonstrated that the science education experienced by teachers in this study was highly influential in their own development of perceptions and beliefs about science that they, in turn, take to the classroom. This was just as applicable to newly graduated teachers as it was to those who have been teaching for over 20 years. Participants identified a role for science centres as a source of inspiration, support and training for teachers in order to help them teach science more effectively. This project showed that the informal education sector could enact positive reforms within science education, but only if the context in which teachers must operate is taken into account and reform efforts adapted accordingly. The informal science education sector could be the key to achieving long lasting reform in science education where other, formal measures have failed.

description: High-pressure experiments were aimed to study the interaction between slab melts and the sub-arc mantle at depth of ~100km in a range of P-T condition which are representative of the mantle wedge above subducted slab. Experiments have shown that porous reactive flow induces the formation of micas and amphibole in the pressure range of 25 to 45 kbar for 800 to 1000 degrees. This leads to a strong depletion in LILE and LREE in the residual fluid. The wet solidus obtained in our experiments is 975 degrees at 35 kbar. The composition and the melting conditions of metasomatised peridotite highlight the importance of hydrous phases in the sub-arc mantle. Experimental reproduction of focused flow in the mantle wedge show that orthopyroxenite walls form an interface between slab melt and olivine. The trace element composition of the slab melt is only slightly modified in this transfer process. Therefore, the transfer of slab melt by focused flow to the locus of partial melting in the mantle wedge provides a much more efficient way to conserve the slab signature than porous flow. The New Caledonia ultramafic ophiolite provides further insights on the interactions which can exist between melts and the upper mantle. Here we provide the first recent petrological overview of the Massif du Sud ophiolite on the basis of petrological and geochemical data. This thesis show that this highly depleted ophiolite of 3000m thick mantle section is related to an arc environment associated with a spreading ridge origin. A suite of discordant rocks (dunite, pyroxenite, gabbro) presents in New Caledonia show the evolution of H2O-SiO2 rich melts transferred by focused flow. These melts are feeding the arc crust through a network of channels and dykes. Melt evolution at sub-Moho levels provide critical information in solving the arc paradox as large amount of pyroxenite rocks can be accumulated in the mantle prior to their incorporation in the crust. A late generation of pyroxenite and amphibole dykes has been connected to the emplacement of large felsic intrusions at the crust-mantle boundary. U-Pb dating on separated zircons from these intrusions and associated dykes provides Eocene ages confirming that these rocks are a pre-obductive feature of the Massif du Sud. These rocks represent a late fore-arc igneous activity and provide new information on melt-mantle interaction and the composition of melts in a colder part of the mantle wedge. The relative timing of events recorded in the New Caledonia ophiolite also imposes new constraints on the geodynamics of the South West Pacific from the middle Cretaceous to recent times.

description: Based on the equivalence between a gauge theory for the translation group and general relativity, a teleparallel version of the non-abelian Kaluza-Klein theory is constructed. In this theory, only the fiber-space turns out to be higher-dimensional, spacetime being kept always four-dimensional. The resulting model is a gauge theory that unifies, in the Kaluza-Klein sense, gravitational and gauge fields. In contrast to the ordinary Kaluza-Klein models, this theory defines a natural length-scale for the compact sub-manifold of the fiber space, which is shown to be of the order of the Planck length.

Energy current correlation in solvable long-range interacting systems

description: We consider heat transfer in one-dimensional systems with long-range interactions. It is known that typical short-range interacting systems shows anomalous behavior in heat transport when total momentum is conserved, whereas momentum-nonconserving systems do not exhibit anomaly. In this study, we focus on the effect of long-range interaction. We propose an exactly solvable model that reduces to the so-called momentum-exchange model in the short-range interaction limit. We exactly calculate the asymptotic time-decay in the energy current correlation function, which is related to the thermal conductivity via the Green--Kubo formula. From the time-decay of the current correlation, we show three qualitatively crucial results. First, the anomalous exponent in the time-decay {\it continuously} changes as a function of the index of the long-range interaction. Second, there is a regime where the current correlation diverges as increasing the system size with fixed time, and hence the exponent of the time-decay cannot be defined. Third, even momentum-nonconserving systems can show the anomalous exponent indicating anomalous heat transport. Higher-dimensions are also considered, and we found that long-range interaction can induce anomalous exponent even in the three-dimensional systems.

description: A formulation for a non-trivial composition of two classical gauge structures is given: Two parent gauge structures of a common base space are synthesized so as to obtain a daughter structure which is fundamental by itself. The model is based on a pair of related connections that take their values in the product space of the corresponding Lie algebras. The curvature, the covariant exterior derivatives and the associated structural identities, all get contributions from both gauge groups. The various induced structures are classified into those whose composition is given just by trivial means, and those which possess an irreducible nature. The pure irreducible piece, in particular, generates a complete super-space of ghosts with an attendant set of super-BRST variation laws, both of which are purely of a geometrical origin.

title: Role of the Short-Time Phase Spectrum in Speech Processing

Subjects: subject: Fourier transform process

description: Majority of speech processing algorithms that employ the short-time Fourier transform process the short-time magnitude spectrum, while either discarding the short-time phase spectrum or leaving it unchanged. This is in-part due to a long-standing belief among speech researchers that the short-time phase spectrum, computed over small analysis window durations of 20–40 ms, contains little useful information and is thus (mostly) unimportant for speech processing (though it is accepted that the phase spectrum does contribute to some extent to naturalness and quality aspects of speech). The above belief has been supported by numerous studies presented in the literature. Results of recent speech perception experiments suggest, however, that the phase spectrum (at small analysis window durations of 20–40 ms) does contain significant amount of useful information, provided that the analysis window function is carefully selected. It was reported that the use of non-tapered analysis windows functions (such as the rectangular window) significantly improves intelligibility of the phase spectrum. This improvement was attributed to the spectral characteristics of the non-tapered analysis windows and—in particular—to their low spectral dynamic range. The main aim of the research presented in this dissertation is to further examine the importance of the short-time phase spectrum for human speech perception. It is hoped that results of such an examination can provide an incentive for further research in this direction. Three studies that investigate the usefulness of the phase spectrum for human speech perception are presented in this thesis. These studies employ human listening tests to explore the importance of the phase spectrum for speech intelligibility, speaker dependent speech information and speech quality. In each of these studies the effect of the spectral dynamic range of an analysis window function is systematically examined.

description: We theoretically study the scale-invariant relaxation dynamics in segregating two-component Bose-Einstein condensates with large particle-number imbalance, and uncover that random walk of droplet for the minor component plays a fundamental role in the relaxation process. Our numerical simulations based on the binary Gross-Pitaevskii model reveal the emergence of the dynamical scaling during the relaxation, which is a hallmark of scale-invariant dynamics, in a correlation function for the minor condensate. Tracking exponents characterizing the dynamical scaling in time, we find out a crossover phenomenon that features the change in power exponents of the correlation length. To understand the fundamental mechanism inherent in the scale-invariant relaxation dynamics, we construct a random walk model for droplets. Employing the model, we analytically derive the $1/3$ and $1/2$ power laws and predict the crossover of the scaling. These exponents are in reasonable agreement with the values obtained in the numerical calculations. We also discuss a possible experimental setup for observing the scale-invariant dynamics.

description: We give an overview of the circuit optimisation methods used by tket, a compiler system for quantum software developed by Cambridge Quantum Computing Ltd. We focus on a novel technique based around phase gadgets, a family of multi-qubit quantum operations which occur naturally in a wide range of quantum circuits of practical interest. The phase gadgets have a simple presentation in the ZX-calculus, which makes it easy to reason about them. Taking advantage of this, we present an efficient method to translate the phase gadgets back to CNOT gates and single qubit operations suitable for execution on a quantum computer with significant reductions in gate count and circuit depth. We demonstrate the effectiveness of these methods on a quantum chemistry benchmarking set based on variational circuits for ground state estimation of small molecules.
