description: The Itô and Stratonovich approaches are two ways to integrate stochastic differential equations. Detailed knowledge of the origin of the stochastic noise is needed to determine which approach suits a particular problem. I discuss this topic pedagogically in stochastic inflation, where the noise arises from a changing comoving coarse-graining scale or, equivalently, from `zooming in' into inflating space. I introduce a zoom-in scheme where deterministic evolution alternates with instantaneous zoom-in steps. I show that this alternating zoom-in scheme is equivalent to the Itô approach in the Markovian limit, while the Stratonovich approach doesn't have a similar interpretation. In the full non-Markovian setup, the difference vanishes. The framework of zoom-in schemes clarifies the relationship between computations in stochastic inflation, linear perturbation theory, and the classical $ΔN$ formalism. It informs the numerical implementation of stochastic inflation and is a building block for a first-principles derivation of the stochastic equations.

description: We perform Monte Carlo calculation of correlation functions in 4d N=4 super Yang-Mills theory on R*S^3 in the planar limit. In order to circumvent the well-known problem of lattice SUSY, we adopt the idea of a novel large-N reduction, which reduces the calculation to that of corresponding correlation functions in the plane-wave matrix model or the BMN matrix model. This model is a 1d gauge theory with 16 supersymmetries, which can be simulated in a manner similar to the recent studies of the D0-brane system. We study two-point and three-point functions of chiral primary operators at various coupling constant, and find that they agree with the free theory results up to overall constant factors. The ratio of the overall factors for two-point and three-point functions agrees with the prediction of the AdS/CFT correspondence.

description: Background: My research explores the relationship between the precarity of work and the work of writing, which cannot be treated “as a stable, ordinary or transactional form of labour” (van Loon, 2021). Using my own experience of working and writing in the gig economy, I consider how creative capital is accrued and spent, and ask what it means to be a writer today and tomorrow, in a careerless, casualised world.Significance: This essay investigates the material circumstances that make my writing possible – the jobs I’ve had to work in order to find the time, space, and money to write. It sketches out the binaries in my life between work and writing, time and money, creativity and drudgery. By unpacking the reasons why my wife and I left Australia, the essay explores the “type” of writing that is valued under neoliberalism, and attempts to quantify what value Australia, as a nation and an economy, puts on creative practice. The piece documents my relationship to other precarious writers in Australia, framing writing itself as an explicitly anti-capitalist act, and a potential site for solidarity between writers, readers and workers.
Contribution: This essay was competitively selected for publication from hundreds of entries submitted to the ‘Writers at Work’ series for the widely-read online journal The Sydney Review of Books. The project was supported by Creative Victoria, City of Sydney, Queensland Government and Tasmanian Government. My piece was published alongside contributions from some of Australia’s most prominent writers, including: Ellena Savage, Justin Clemens, Elena Gomez, Jeff Sparrow and Mackenzie Wark.

description: The Andromeda galaxy was observed by the Guoshoujing Telescope (GSJT, formly named the Large Sky Area Multi-Object Fiber Spectroscopic Telescope -- LAMOST) during the 2009 commissioning phase. Due to the absence of standard stars for flux calibration, we use the photometric data of 15 intermediate bands in the Beijing-Arizona-Taipei-Connecticut (BATC) survey to calibrate the spectra. Total 59 spectra located in the bulge and disk of the galaxy are obtained. Kinematic and stellar population properties of the stellar content are derived with these spectra. We obtain the global velocity field and calculate corresponding rotation velocities outer to about 7 kpc along the major axis. These rotation velocity measurements complement those of the gas content, such as the H {\sc i} and CO. The radial velocity dispersion presents that the stars in the bulge are more dynamically thermal and the disk is more rotation-supported. The age distribution shows that the bulge was formed about 12 Gyr ago, the disk is relatively younger, and the ages of some regions along the spiral arms can reach as young as about 1 Gyr. These young stellar populations have relatively richer abundance and larger reddening. The overall average metallicity of the galaxy approximates the solar metallicity and a very weak abundance gradient is gained. The reddening map gives a picture of a dust-free bulge and a distinct dusty ring in the disk.

description: Background: ‘Earth House’ was written to develop “queer communication”, to quote Karen Barad, a style responsive to opaqueness in the non-human. This short story makes literate Barad’s materiality, reinforcing stylistic devices that correspond to their matter and impact how the fiction is read.This research is in the related fields of speculative and climate fiction. How do we write to a rapidly evolving context, evading a very human concern with mastery? How do we write outside of controlled conditions?Contribution: In ‘Earth House’, I sought to devolve the structure as the human narrative is inflected by animal and environment. Property ownership and human storying (“my first wife”; “a house… that was the real thing”) is displaced by the encroaching other – ancient and contemporary animals. Voice shifts and fragmentation wrest the story from singular grip; it becomes “a suturing of disparate parts” (Barad).Significance: The story was Highly Commended for the 2020 Rachel Funari Fiction Prize, recommended by the judges (Eleni Hale, Jennifer Down and Rae White). The story was offered publication with Lip Magazine. Down noted that it “approaches the surreal yet remains grounded in… worldly fragments.” In 2021, ‘Earth House’ was selected from 336 entries as runner-up for the Peter Carey Short Story Award, receiving a prize of $1000 and publication in Meanjin. It was judged by Laurie Steed, who noted its merging of animal worlds. Meanjin is one of Australia’s best and oldest literary journals.

Perception of lexical tones by homeland and heritage speakers of Cantonese
Creators: name: Lam, Wai Man
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: This dissertation compares the lexical tone perception abilities of two populations with different bilingual configurations: Cantonese-dominant adults who grew up in Hong Kong (referred to as homeland speakers), and English-dominant adults who grew up in a Cantonese-speaking household in Canada (heritage speakers). From infancy both were exposed to Cantonese as a first language in terms of chronological order; however, after the onset of schooling, each became dominant in the majority language of their respective society. Given this background, this study investigates whether heritage speakers' perception of lexical tones of a non-dominant first language (Cantonese) exhibits cross-language effects from a dominant second language (English) that does not have a contrastive dimension of tone. A series of perception experiments was conducted using the word identification paradigm. Eight types of audio stimuli were presented to homeland and heritage speakers (N=34 per group), each of which represented a specific configuration of four variables: whether the acoustic signal contained segmental and tonal information, whether the target word was isolated or embedded in a carrier sentence with semantic context, and whether the meaning of the target word was congruous with the carrier sentence. In each trial, participants saw pictures of the target word and minimally contrastive tonal competitors, and were instructed to choose the picture that represented what they heard. Major findings of this study were: (1) among the eight stimulus types, the accuracy gap between the two groups was the biggest when the stimuli were low-pass-filtered monosyllables with no segmental information or semantic context, which suggests that homeland speakers have a significantly greater ability to identify tonally contrastive words by solely relying on tonal information. (2) Both groups showed confusion of overlapping subsets of tone pairs, but heritage speakers had a higher error percentage, which indicates a quantitative but not qualitative difference between the two groups. (3) When the target word was semantically incongruous with the carrier sentence, homeland speakers outperformed heritage speakers by attending to acoustic information, while heritage speakers relied on semantic information relatively more often. In other words, the two groups used different listening strategies in tone identification.

description: Classical video coding for satisfying humans as the final user is a widely investigated field of studies for visual content, and common video codecs are all optimized for the human visual system (HVS). But are the assumptions and optimizations also valid when the compressed video stream is analyzed by a machine? To answer this question, we compared the performance of two state-of-the-art neural detection networks when being fed with deteriorated input images coded with HEVC and VVC in an autonomous driving scenario using intra coding. Additionally, the impact of the three VVC in-loop filters when coding images for a neural network is examined. The results are compared using the mean average precision metric to evaluate the object detection performance for the compressed inputs. Throughout these tests, we found that the Bjøntegaard Delta Rate savings with respect to PSNR of 22.2 % using VVC instead of HEVC cannot be reached when coding for object detection networks with only 13.6% in the best case. Besides, it is shown that disabling the VVC in-loop filters SAO and ALF results in bitrate savings of 6.4 % compared to the standard VTM at the same mean average precision.

description: Planets orbiting post-common envelope binaries provide fundamental information on planet formation and evolution, especially for the yet nearly unexplored class of circumbinary planets. We searched for such planets in \odp, an eclipsing short-period binary, which shows long-term eclipse-time variations. Using published, reanalysed, and new mid-eclipse times of the white dwarf in DP\,Leo, obtained between 1979 and 2010, we find agreement with the light-travel-time effect produced by a third body in an elliptical orbit. In particular, the measured binary period in 2009/2010 and the implied radial velocity coincide with the values predicted for the motion of the binary and the third body around the common center of mass. The orbital period, semi-major axis, and eccentricity of the third body are P_c = 28.0 +/- 2.0 yrs, a_c = 8.2 +/- 0.4 AU, and e_c = 0.39 +/- 0.13. Its mass of M_c sin(i_c) = 6.1 +/- 0.5 M_J qualifies it as a giant planet. It formed either as a first generation object in a protoplanetary disk around the original binary or as a second generation object in a disk formed in the common envelope shed by the progenitor of the white dwarf. Even a third generation origin in matter lost from the present accreting binary can not be entirely excluded. We searched for, but found no evidence for a fourth body.

description: Pocapavir is an antiviral agent that has shown in vitro potency against poliovirus. It necessitates investigation into its in vivo efficacy and safety profiles. Therefore, the development of a sensitive and reliable bioanalytical method to quantify pocapavir drug levels and characterize its pharmacokinetic (PK) profiles is imperative. Given pacapavir’s low ionization efficiency, the utilization of atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) is employed to enhance the assay sensitivity. The developed method is validated and subsequently implemented in a mouse PK study. As the first reported bioanalytical method for pocapavir, the method is developed and validated through a full method validation in accordance with the principles of Good Laboratory Practice (GLP), with all evaluated parameters meeting the stipulated acceptance criteria. The validated bioanalytical method is suitably equipped to quantify pocapavir while bolstering preclinical and potential applications for first-in-human (FIH) PK characterizations.

description: The Rosette molecular cloud is promoted as the archetype of a triggered star-formation site. This is mainly due to its morphology, because the central OB cluster NGC 2244 has blown a circular-shaped cavity into the cloud and the expanding HII-region now interacts with the cloud. Studying the spatial distribution of the different evolutionary states of all star-forming sites in Rosette and investigating possible gradients of the dust temperature will help to test the 'triggered star-formation' scenario in Rosette. We use continuum data obtained with the PACS (70 and 160 micron) and SPIRE instruments (250, 350, 500 micron) of the Herschel telescope during the Science Demonstration Phase of HOBYS. Three-color images of Rosette impressively show how the molecular gas is heated by the radiative impact of the NGC 2244 cluster. A clear negative temperature gradient and a positive density gradient (running from the HII-region/molecular cloud interface into the cloud) are detected. Studying the spatial distribution of the most massive dense cores (size scale 0.05 to 0.3 pc), we find an age-sequence (from more evolved to younger) with increasing distance to the cluster NGC 2244. No clear gradient is found for the clump (size-scale up to 1 pc) distribution. The existence of temperature and density gradients and the observed age-sequence imply that star formation in Rosette may indeed be influenced by the radiative impact of the central NGC 2244 cluster. A more complete overview of the prestellar and protostellar population in Rosette is required to obtain a firmer result.

Subjects: subject: Dynamical Systems (math.DS)

description: In this paper, we will prove a very general result of stability for perturbations of linear integrable Hamiltonian systems, and we will construct an example of instability showing that both our result and our example are optimal. Moreover, in the same spirit as the notion of KAM stable integrable Hamiltonians, we will introduce a notion of effectively stable integrable Hamiltonians, conjecture a characterization of these Hamiltonians and show that our result prove this conjecture in the linear case.

description: We show that a number of naturally occurring comparison relations on positive elements in a C*-algebra are equivalent to natural comparison properties of their corresponding open projections in the bidual of the C*-algebra. In particular we show that Cuntz comparison of positive elements corresponds to a comparison relation on open projections, that we call Cuntz comparison, and which is defined in terms of-and is weaker than-a comparison notion defined by Peligrad and Zsidó. The latter corresponds to a well-known comparison relation on positive elements defined by Blackadar. We show that Murray-von Neumann comparison of open projections corresponds to tracial comparison of the corresponding positive elements of the C*-algebra. We use these findings to give a new picture of the Cuntz semigroup.

«La felicità sulle spalle»
Creators: name: Guccinelli, Roberta
Publisher: name: Materiali di Estetica. Terza serie
Year: 2020

description: The issue of the nature of happiness or well-being and that of the role that it plays in the meaningful life of people are widely debated today, not only in the theoretical ambit, but also in the empirical one. Most philosophers and psychologists, above all in the Anglophone community, privilege, from this point of view, the traditional paradigms of hedonism or eudemonism. After having expounded my perplexities regarding these models, I present a positive-phenomenological account of happiness. From this perspective, the stratification of the affective life of a person, in conformity with the type of experiences experienced, is respected. In addition, the reciprocity connection between the good quality of a life and the good quality of others’ lives becomes understandable here. Happiness, which a good person “carries on her/his shoulder”, as Scheler says, reveals itself as the feeling through which she/he implicitly experiences her/his own moral value.

Silence on 'the break' : exploring concussion in Canadian West Coast surf culture
Creators: name: Dean, Nikolaus Alexander
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Over the last decade a burgeoning body of research has emerged that has explored sport-related concussion (SRC) within a socio-cultural context. In particular, this research has focused on the participants of more “traditional” team sports such as rugby, hockey and football, all the while ignoring participants of more “non-traditional” individualized sports such as surfing. This is significant, as over the last decade surfing has seen a surge in participation rates worldwide (Gilchrist & Wheaton, 2017) and has subsequently witnessed a rise in head-related injuries, including SRC. Noting both the increase in participation rates and the rising rates of head-related injuries within surfing, this ethnographically informed study attempted to unpack and situate surf-related concussion within a socio-cultural context by critically exploring how experienced, male and female surfers from Canada’s West Coast understood, perceived, and gave meaning to SRC. The findings revealed that both male and female surfers displayed head strong (Liston et al., 2018) attitudes towards SRC, which encouraged risk-taking behaviours and the denial and downplaying of the injury. Moreover, the findings highlighted the intersections of gender and perceptions of risk in relation to the surfers’ understandings of SRC and raised questions as to who is responsible for educating and diagnosing SRC in unregulated sporting contexts. In addition, the study investigated surfers’ perceptions and attitudes towards protective headgear in surfing and explored why surfers do not wear protective headgear while they surf. The findings highlighted that the surfers’ reasons for not wearing protective headgear were often guided and influenced by larger social, (sub)cultural, and political factors.
Stability in Cubic Metric-Affine Gravity

description: We analyse the stability issue of the vector and axial modes of the torsion and nonmetricity tensors around general backgrounds in the framework of cubic Metric-Affine Gravity. We show that the presence of cubic order invariants defined from the curvature, torsion and nonmetricity tensors allow the cancellation of the well-known instabilities arising in the vector and axial sectors of quadratic Metric-Affine Gravity. For the resulting theory, we also obtain Reissner-Nordström-like black hole solutions with dynamical torsion and nonmetricity, which in general include massive tensor modes for these quantities, thus avoiding further no-go theorems that potentially prevent a consistent interaction of massless higher spin fields in the quantum regime.

description: We represent and analyze the general solution of the sixth Painleve transcendent in the Picard-Hitchin-Okamoto class in the Painleve form as the logarithmic derivative of the ratio of certain $τ$-functions. These functions are expressible explicitly in terms of the elliptic Legendre integrals and Jacobi $θ$-functions, for which we write the general differentiation rules. We also establish a relation between the P6-equation and the uniformization of algebraic curves and present examples.

Brillouin amplification in phase coherent transfer of optical frequencies over 480 km fiber

description: We describe the use of fiber Brillouin amplification (FBA) for the coherent transmission of optical frequencies over a 480 km long optical fiber link. FBA uses the transmission fiber itself for efficient, bi-directional coherent amplification of weak signals with pump powers around 30 mW. In a test setup we measured the gain and the achievable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of FBA and compared it to that of the widely used uni-directional Erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA) and to our recently built bi-directional EDFA. We measured also the phase noise introduced by the FBA and used a new and simple technique to stabilize the frequency of the FBA pump laser. We then transferred a stabilized laser frequency over a wide area network with a total fiber length of 480 km using only one intermediate FBA station. After compensating the noise induced by the fiber, the frequency is delivered to the user end with an uncertainty below 2x10-18 and an instability sigma(tau) = 2x10-14/(tau/second).
