description: In order to assess the seasonal changes of the topography, the inner structure and the physical properties of a small glacier in the Eastern Alps, we performed a 4-D multi frequency GPR survey by repeating the same data acquisition in four different periods of the year 2013. The usual glacier mass balance estimation encompasses only topographic variations, but the real evolution is much more complex and includes surface melting and refreezing, snow metamorphism, and basal melting. We analyzed changes in both the imaged geometrical-morphological structures and the densities, estimated from GPR data inversion. The inversion algorithm uses reflection amplitudes and traveltimes to extract the electromagnetic velocity in the interpreted layers and the densities of the frozen materials through empirical relations. The obtained results have been compared and validated with direct measures like snow thickness surveys, density logs within snow pits and ablation stakes. This study demonstrates that GPR techniques are a fast and effective tool not only for glacial qualitative studies, but also for detailed glacier monitoring and accurate quantitative analyses of crucial glaciological parameters like density distribution and water runoff.

description: In this work we explore the structure of the branching graph of the unitary group using Schur transitions. We find that these transitions suggest a new combinatorial expression for counting paths in the branching graph. This formula, which is valid for any rank of the unitary group, reproduces known asymptotic results. We proceed to establish the general validity of this expression by a formal proof. The form of this equation strongly hints towards a quantum generalization. Thus, we introduce a notion of quantum relative dimension and subject it to the appropriate consistency tests. This new quantity finds its natural environment in the context of RCFTs and fractional statistics; where the already established notion of quantum dimension has proven to be of great physical importance.

description: A Vénus de Milo é um dos mais famosos exemplos da escultura da Grécia Antiga. É uma estátua de mármore sem braços de Afrodite – a deusa grega do amor e da beleza – que foi esculpida durante o período helenístico, entre cerca de 130 e 100 a.C. Um pouco maior do que o tamanho natural, acredita-se que seja obra do escultor Alexandre de Antioquia, segundo uma inscrição no seu plinto (agora perdida). Esta graciosa figura de uma deusa tem fascinado os amantes da arte, desde a sua descoberta em 1820, na pequena ilha grega de Milos, no mar Egeu. É, sem dúvida, uma das estátuas mais conhecidas da história da escultura e encontra-se exposta no Museu do Louvre, em Paris.

description: Displacement of propagating quantum states of light is a fundamental operation for quantum communication. It enables fundamental studies on macroscopic quantum coherence and plays an important role in quantum teleportation protocols with continuous variables. In our experiments we have successfully implemented this operation for propagating squeezed microwave states. We demonstrate that, even for strong displacement amplitudes, there is no degradation of the squeezing level in the reconstructed quantum states. Furthermore, we confirm that path entanglement generated by using displaced squeezed states stays constant over a wide range of the displacement power.

Data-driven Vocal Pitch Extraction for Indian Art Music Melodic Analysis

description: The melodic exploration of Indian Art Music is an emerging topic in the field of Music Information Retrieval (MIR), including several tasks to contribute to the understanding of this tradition. Ground-truth vocal melody annotations are an essential material to tackle this challenge, but the automatic extraction of these data from polyphonic audio signals is an unsolved task as of now. The state of the art on this topic is currently proposing high-performance data-driven pitch extraction models. Nevertheless, these models are exclusively developed using Western music data (pop, rock, blues and related styles) and therefore, the performance of these algorithms on Indian Art Music signals is significantly degraded. Furthermore, given the shortage of properly annotated vocal melody ground-truth for Indian Art Music, there are no works in the literature that propose pitch extraction methods or even re-train state of the art algorithms for this music tradition. In this work, we aim at overcoming this issue by addressing two main contributions: (1) The creation of a dataset of properly annotated vocal melody for Indian Art Music, and (2) The training, evaluation and testing of a state of the art vocal pitch extraction method to obtain a trained model that outperforms the actual proposals for Indian Art Music signals. Additionally, we review the related literature on Indian Art Music melodic exploration and on pitch extraction, to provide the basis for our research. We also contribute to the mirdata Python library by integrating loaders for Indian Art Music and other World traditional music datasets and promote the research on these cultures. We hope that the outcomes of this thesis contribute to the Indian Art Music melodic understanding and to the overcoming of the actual barriers produced by the shortage of data and methodologies for melody extraction of this rich and relevant musical culture.

description: We construct a moduli space of stable pairs over a smooth projective variety, parametrizing morphisms from a fixed coherent sheaf to a varying sheaf of fixed topological type, subject to a stability condition. This generalizes the notion used by Pandharipande and Thomas, following Le Potier, where the fixed sheaf is the structure sheaf of the variety. We then describe the relevant deformation and obstruction theories. We also show the existence of the virtual fundamental class in special cases.

Towards a new compatibility measure for harmonic EDM mixing

Subjects: DJ; Harmonic compatibility; Harmonic mixing; Tonal Interval Vector (TIV); Pitch Transposition; Interface

description: We explore the applicability of a new harmonic compatibility (HC) measure in the field of DJ’s harmonic mixing. We present a system that complements harmonic mixing by calculating the HC between the tracks of a user-defined music collection. The user must define a target track for which the calculation is to be made, and obtains the HC values with respect to each track in the collection, expressed as a percentage. The system also calculates a pitch transposition interval for each candidate track that, if applied, maximizes the HC with respect to the target track.
 To analyse the tracks, they are first source-separated to remove the percussive el-ements, with no melodic information. A single chroma vector is computed as the mean of the NNLSChroma from each frame, that then is converted into a Tonal In-terval Vector (TIV). The HC is calculated as the small-scale measure score between the pairs TIVs of candidate and target track.
 The system is implemented with a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows running on a parallel window next to the DJ software of choice, allowing the program to be incorporated into the DJ’s live performances. The implementation allows real-time calculation of the HC, each time a new target track is selected.
 The suggestions of the system are evaluated in an experiment where musically trained participants are asked about their preference between pairwise comparisons of mixes.

description: Recent studies have found that obscured quasars cluster more strongly and are thus hosted by dark matter haloes of larger mass than their unobscured counterparts. These results pose a challenge for the simplest unification models, in which obscured objects are intrinsically the same as unobscured sources but seen through a dusty line of sight. There is general consensus that a structure like a "dusty torus" exists, meaning that this intrinsic similarity is likely the case for at least some subset of obscured quasars. However, the larger host halo masses of obscured quasars implies that there is a second obscured population that has an even higher clustering amplitude and typical halo mass. Here, we use simple assumptions about the host halo mass distributions of quasars, along with analytical methods and cosmological $N$-body simulations to isolate the signal from this population. We provide values for the bias and halo mass as a function of the fraction of the "non-torus obscured" population. Adopting a reasonable value for this fraction of $\sim$25% implies a non-torus obscured quasar bias that is much higher than the observed obscured quasar bias, because a large fraction of the obscured population shares the same clustering strength as the unobscured objects. For this non-torus obscured population, we derive a bias of $\sim$3, and typical halo masses of $\sim3\times10^{13}$ M$_{\odot}/h$ at $z=1$. These massive haloes are likely the descendants of high-mass unobscured quasars at high redshift, and will evolve into members of galaxy groups at $z=0$.

description: Music Education has undergone significant changes in the last twenty years, with a wide array of applications and online tools emerging to help students learn an instrument autonomously offering automatic feedback. Timing and rhythm are crucial in playing good quality electric bass and although tools exist that help measure their synchronization with the metronome, they don’t provide feedback on note length. My experience in having prepared for electric bass music exams and the identification of shortcomings in performance assessment tools have been the motivation of this thesis.
 Note length and note rests are two missing measurement criteria in the state-of-the-art tools. The algorithms and technology exist to do this, but their application has been in automatic music transcription where precision requirements are not as high as they are for music education. This thesis evaluates algorithms for onset and offset detection, offers some new suggestions and tests them on songs with different musical properties on the Rock and Pop (R&P) repertoire.

description: In this letter, we present an end-to-end performance analysis of dual-hop project-and-forward relaying in a realistic scenario, where the source-relay and the relay-destination links are experiencing MIMO-pinhole and Rayleigh channel conditions, respectively. We derive the probability density function of both the relay post-processing and the end-to-end signal-to-noise ratios, and the obtained expressions are used to derive the outage probability of the analyzed system as well as its end-to-end ergodic capacity in terms of generalized functions. Applying then the residue theory to Mellin-Barnes integrals, we infer the system asymptotic behavior for different channel parameters. As the bivariate Meijer-G function is involved in the analysis, we propose a new and fast MATLAB implementation enabling an automated definition of the complex integration contour. Extensive Monte-Carlo simulations are invoked to corroborate the analytical results.

description: Due to their capacity-achieving property, polar codes have become one of the most attractive channel codes. To date, the successive cancellation list (SCL) decoding algorithm is the primary approach that can guarantee outstanding error-correcting performance of polar codes. However, the hardware designs of the original SCL decoder have large silicon area and long decoding latency. Although some recent efforts can reduce either the area or latency of SCL decoders, these two metrics still cannot be optimized at the same time. This paper, for the first time, proposes a general log-likelihood-ratio (LLR)-based SCL decoding algorithm with multi-bit decision. This new algorithm, referred as LLR-2Kb-SCL, can determine 2K bits simultaneously for arbitrary K with the use of LLR messages. In addition, a reduced-data-width scheme is presented to reduce the critical path of the sorting block. Then, based on the proposed algorithm, a VLSI architecture of the new SCL decoder is developed. Synthesis results show that for an example (1024, 512) polar code with list size 4, the proposed LLR-2Kb-SCL decoders achieve significant reduction in both area and latency as compared to prior works. As a result, the hardware efficiency of the proposed designs with K=2 and 3 are 2.33 times and 3.32 times of that of the state-of-the-art works, respectively.

Dualisation of Rhythmic Patterns

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021
Subjects: rhythm, rhythm analysis, dualisation, dataset;

description: This thesis examines the concept of dualisation of rhythmic patterns, the representation of a rhythm using only two voices. From different literatures and discussions with professional musicians, it is suspected that from the perspective of a musician, this concept holds a certain degree of meaningfulness, replicable to produce similar dualisations, and the concept is universally applicable to different drummers. The aim of this dissertation is to verify these claims from musicians empirically. In order to obtain data for analysis, dualisation of rhythmic patterns are collected from experienced percussionists. A total of 19 hours of data were collected, and by analysing them a correlation between dualisations and the perception of the concept can be drawn. Several properties of dualisation can be confirmed, such as the meaningfulness and the replicability of dualisation from the same drummer; however, some original claims remain disputable, noticeably the universality of dualisation.

When operating traps in a cryogenic environment, an in-vacuum resonator showing low loss is crucial to limit the thermal load to the cryostat. In this study, we present a guide for the design and production of compact, shielded cryogenic resonators. We produced and characterized three different types of resonators and furthermore demonstrate efficient impedance matching of these resonators at cryogenic temperatures.

Origin of Mass - Horizons Expanding from the Nambu's Theory

description: Origin of mass may be strong dynamics of matter in the vacuum. Since the initial proposal of Nambu for the origin of the nucleon mass, the dynamical symmetry breaking in the strongly coupled underlying theories has been expanding the horizons in the context of the modern version of the origin of mass beyond the Standard Model (SM). The Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model is a typical strong coupling theory with the non-zero critical coupling, in sharp contrast to its precedent model, the Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer theory for the superconductor. The non-zero critical coupling is also hidden in the asymptotically free gauge theories including QCD and walking technicolor. As is well known, the NJL model can be cast into the SM Higgs Lagrangian. We show that the SM Higgs Lagrangian is simply rewritten into a form of the (approximately) scale-invariant nonlinear sigma model, with both the chiral symmetry and scale symmetry realized nonlinearly, with the SM Higgs being nothing but the (pseudo-) dilaton. The SM Higgs Lagrangian is further gauge equivalent to the scale-invariant Hidden Local Symmetry (HLS) Lagrangian, s-HLS, having spin 1 bosons hidden in the SM. As the simplest possible underlying theory for the SM Higgs Lagrangian we first discuss the top quark condensate ("top-mode SM"), where the top-mode dilaton is the 125 GeV Higgs. We then discuss the walking technicolor having near infrared conformality, whose effective theory is the s-HLS model precisely the same as the SM Higgs Lagrangian (with larger chiral symmetry), where the 125 GeV Higgs is successfully identified with the techidilaton.

The Fall of Eve: Exploring How the Nigerian Christian Community applies Religious Principles into the Household and Situations of Intimate Partner Violence.
Creators: name: Arowolo, Titilayo
Publisher: name: University of Chicago
Year: 2023

description: Intimate Partner Violence is prevalent in African societies. Current scholarship states that religion penetrates cultural experiences in Nigeria because it is revered highly as a source of guidance. However, there is little research that explores how a specific demographic interprets religion and apply it to their lives and their view of the world. Moreso, studies have failed to outline how personal interpretations of religious principles inform negative ideologies that cause social issues such as domestic violence. Though IPV happens in homes, across gender, ethnic, and religious lines, this study focuses on exploring the experiences of Nigerian Christian Women in the household and situations of IPV. The study adopts an exploratory research design, combining quantitative and qualitative methods of data collection. Findings revealed that religious beliefs played an essential role in sustaining the culture of domestic violence that exists in Nigeria. This occurs through religious texts interpreted to sustain the belief of men as the head of the household and women as subordinate to them. Violent homes are also preserved by religious beliefs that are averse to separation, even in times of conflict. Because religion and religious texts are broadly stated, individuals apply them to their lives in various ways. Regardless, because religion is seen as supreme when personal beliefs are tagged as religious, they are impossible to dispute using logical evaluation. Participants are aware of religion’s stronghold in Nigeria and how this could lead to detrimental effects. However, they acknowledge they feel pressure to succumb to social expectations because it is part of how they practice Christianity. To reduce the prevalence of domestic violence, it is important to recognize the role religious beliefs play in perpetuating this. To objectively approach social issues, it is important to separate personal religious beliefs from social issues. The findings presented here call for everyone to reevaluate how they justify harmful narratives. It encourages them to prioritize their role as citizens and draw the line on when a religious belief is going awry.

description: Problématique : Les personnes LGBT+ sont persécutées dans de nombreux pays dans le monde. C’est pourquoi elles demandent l’asile. Les parcours migratoires peuvent être traumatisant. Par conséquent, elles ont divers problèmes de santé physique et psychique. Objectif : L’objectif de cette revue est d’identifier les interventions infirmières permettant une prise en charge sécurisante des personnes migrantes LGBT+. Méthode : Les critères d’inclusion sont les personnes LGBT+ réfugiées ou demandant l’asile. Quatre bases de données ont été consultées : CINHAL, PubMED, CairnInfo, PsyInfo. Sept articles ont été analysés à l’aide de la théorie des soins transculturels de Leininger. Résultats : les personnes sont autant persécutées dans le pays d’accueil que dans le pays d’origine par la famille, les amis, les membres de la communauté et les fonctionnaires de l’immigration. Elles ont des besoins spécifiques en matière de santé et font face à des obstacles à différents niveaux. Discussion : Les études analysées ont été effectuées à l’étranger. Elles ne sont pas spécifiques aux sciences infirmières et ne traitent pas de la théorie des soins transculturels de Leininger. Les données scientifiques et statistiques à propos des migrants LGBT+ sont inexistantes en Suisse. Pour la pratique, il est recommandé de sensibiliser et former les soignant·e·s aux besoins des migrants LGBT+. Un guide pratique est de mise. Avoir conscience de sa propre culture et de celles des autres permet d’éviter les discriminations.
Quels sont les outils infirmiers permettant de gérer les épisodes de violence auto-infligée en unité de psychiatrie adulte aigue chez les personnes atteintes de trouble de la personnalité borderline ?

description: Contexte : En psychiatrie, l’accompagnement des patients souffrant de trouble de la personnalité borderline (TPB), ainsi que la gestion des violences auto-infligées, sont des enjeux importants. Le TPB est fréquent (prévalence 1.6%) et représente environ 20% des hospitalisations en psychiatrie. Il implique des difficultés de prise en soins liées à la symptomatologie (instabilité relationnelle et affective, impulsivité), et s’exprime souvent par passages à l’acte. Les violences auto-infligées, mais aussi les représentations et les violences symboliques des soignants, sont à penser pour favoriser une relation thérapeutique. Objectif : Identifier dans la littérature scientifique les outils infirmiers permettant de gérer les épisodes de violence auto-infligée en unité de psychiatrie adulte aigue chez les personnes atteintes de TPB. Méthode : Une recherche de littérature dans les bases de données CINAHL et EMBase permet d’analyser six articles pour en tirer des pistes de gestion de la violence en psychiatrie impliquant le TPB. Les résultats sont mis en perspective avec le cadre théorique d’H.E. Peplau. Résultats : Les résultats des études analysées mettent en avant l’impact de la formation en psychiatrie pour améliorer les attitudes des soignants, et l’importance de l’évaluation de la violence. Ils montrent aussi le vécu difficile des soignants et des patients, ainsi que certaines bonnes pratiques à adopter. Discussion : Des formations régulières spécifiques sur le TPB, une gestion des violences en équipe, et l’implémentation d’outils d’évaluation de violences peuvent être bénéfiques.
The Demographics of galactic bulges in the SDSS database

description: We present a new database of our two-dimensional bulge-disk decompositions for 14,233 galaxies drawn from SDSS DR12 in order to examine the properties of bulges residing in the local universe ($0.005 < z < 0.05$). We performed decompositions in $g$ and $r$ bands by utilizing the {\sc{galfit}} software. The bulge colors and bulge-to-total ratios are found to be sensitive to the details in the decomposition technique, and hence we hereby provide full details of our method. The $g-r$ colors of bulges derived are almost constantly red regardless of bulge size except for the bulges in the low bulge-to-total ratio galaxies ($B/T_{\rm r} \lesssim 0.3$). Bulges exhibit similar scaling relations to those followed by elliptical galaxies, but the bulges in galaxies with lower bulge-to-total ratios clearly show a gradually larger departure in slope from the elliptical galaxy sequence. The scatters around the scaling relations are also larger for the bulges in galaxies with lower bulge-to-total ratios. Both the departure in slopes and larger scatters are likely originated from the presence of young stars. The bulges in galaxies with low bulge-to-total ratios show signs of a frosting of young stars so substantial that their luminosity-weighted Balmer-line ages are as small as 1\,Gyr in some cases. While bulges seem largely similar in optical properties to elliptical galaxies, they do show clear and systematic departures as a function of bulge-to-total ratio. The stellar properties and perhaps associated formation processes of bulges seem much more diverse than those of elliptical galaxies.

description: This paper proposes a methodology to identify and protect vulnerable components of connected gas and electric infrastructures from malicious attacks, and to guarantee a resilient operation by deploying valid corrective actions (while accounting for the interdependency of gas pipeline network and power transmission network). The proposed mathematical formulation reduces to a tri-level optimization problem, where the lower level is a multiperiod economic dispatch of the gas-electric system, the middle level distinguishes the most threatening attack on the coupled physical infrastructures, and the upper level provides optimal preventive decisions to reinforce the vulnerable components and increase the system resilience. By reformulating the lower level problem as a mixed integer linear programming (MILP), a nested column-and-constraint generation (C\&CG) algorithm is developed to solve the min-max-min model. Case studies on two test systems demonstrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed methodology.
