description: We find an analogy between turbulence and the dynamics of the continuous spontaneous localization model (CSL) of the wave function. The use of a standard white noise in the localization process gives Richardson's t^3 law for the turbulent diffusion, while the introduction of an affine noise in the CSL allows us to obtain the intermittency corrections to this law.

Climatic changes--Economic aspects

description: The sustainable management of the environment has emerged as a major conceptual and policy challenge. In this thesis, I discuss both general theoretical considerations and aspects of a striking and important case study. In chapters 1-4, I study the dynamics of collective decisions on long-term investments in public goods, in situations in which different stake-holders disagree on the relative valuation of short-term costs and future benefits. The discussion is inspired by climate change economics but is general. Chapters 5-8 discuss aspects of the depletion of groundwater in India, one of the most dramatic resource sustainability crisis in the world, and analyze empirically the implications for irrigation, in terms of sustainability, efficiency and reliability.

description: Surgical ablation (SA) is the most effective procedure to terminate atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients requiring concomitant open heart surgery. However, considering the great stress provoked in the patients heart, along with the benefits of anticipating antiarrhythmic therapeutical decisions, preoperative prediction of long term failure of the procedure is an interesting clinical challenge. Hence, the present work introduces a novel algorithm to anticipate SA outcome after one year of follow up by just analyzing the surface ECG. The method firstly extracts fibrillatory waves reflected on standard lead V1 using an adaptive QRST cancellation approach. The resulting signal is then segmented into 1 s length intervals and wavelet energy is computed for all of them. Finally, the coefficient of variation of the time series obtained for the 7th scale is computed. Analyzing 20 second length preoperative ECG excerpts from 53 persistent AF patients undergoing concomitant openheart surgery, only the proposed method reported statistically significant differences between the patients who relapsed to AF and those who maintained sinus rhythm during the follow up. The algorithm also provided values of sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy between 10 and 20% better than the well established dominant atrial frequency and fibrillatory waves amplitude, thus suggesting to be a promising predictor of AF recurrence after SA.

description: Although catheter ablation (CA) is still the first-line treatment for persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) patients, its limited long-term success rate has motivated clinical interest in preoperative prediction on the procedures outcome to provide optimized patient selection, limit repeated procedures, hospitalization rates, and treatment costs. To this respect, dominant frequency (DF) and amplitude of fibrillatory waves (f-waves) reflected on the ECG have provided promising results. Hence this work explores the ability of a novel set of frequency and amplitud f-waves features, such as spectral entropy (SE), spectral flatness measure (SFM), and amplitud spectrum area (AMSA), along with DF and normalized f-wave amplitude (NFWA), to improve CA outcome prediction. Despite all single indices reported statistically significant differences between patients who relapsed to AF and those who maintained sinus rhythm after a follow up of 9 months for 204 6 s-length ECG intervals extracted from 51 persistent AF patients, they obtained a limited discriminant ability ranging between 55 and 62%, which was overcome by 15 - 23% when NFWA, SE and AMSA were combined. Consequently, this combination of frequency and amplitude features of the fwaves seems to provide new insights about the atrial substrate remodeling, which could be helpful in improving preoperative CA outcome prediction.

description: We review observational data about a sample of Local Volume objects containing about 1000 galaxies within 11 Mpc of the Milky Way. Dwarf galaxies with stellar masses $M_*/M_{\odot} < 9$ dex make up 5/6 of the sample. Almost 40% of them have their distances measured with high precision using the Hubble Space Telescope. Currently, the LV is the most representative and least selection-affected sample of dwarf galaxies suitable for testing the standard $Λ$CDM paradigm at the shortest cosmological scales. We discuss the H II properties of dwarf galaxies in different environments and the star formation rates in these systems as determined from $FUV$ - and H$α$-survey data. We also pay certain attention to the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation for low-mass dwarf galaxies. We also point out that LV dwarfs are important `tracers' for determining the total masses of nearby groups and the nearest Virgo cluster.

description: We investigate the role that planet detection order plays in the Kepler planet detection pipeline. The Kepler pipeline typically detects planets in order of descending signal strength (MES). We find that the detectability of transits experiences an additional $5.5\%$ and $15.9\%$ efficiency loss, for periods $<200$ days and $>200$ days respectively, when detected after the strongest signal transit in a multiple-planet system. We provide a method for determining the transit probability for multiple-planet systems by marginalizing over the empirical Kepler dataset. Furthermore, because detection efficiency appears to be a function of detection order, we discuss the sorting statistics that affect the radius and period distributions of each detection order. Our occurrence rate dataset includes radius measurement updates from the California Kepler Survey (CKS), Gaia DR2, and asteroseismology. Our population model is consistent with the results of Burke et al. (2015), but now includes an improved estimate of the multiplicity distribution. From our obtained model parameters, we find that only $4.0\pm4.6\%$ of solar-like GK dwarfs harbor one planet. This excess is smaller than prior studies and can be well modeled with a modified Poisson distribution, suggesting that the Kepler Dichotomy can be accounted for by including the effects of multiplicity on detection efficiency. Using our modified Poisson model we expect the average number of planets is $5.86\pm0.18$ planets per GK dwarf within the radius and period parameter space of Kepler.

Their paper was accepted in the 22nd International Conference on Practice and Theory of Public Key Cryptography (PKC 2019). They have also shown that RQCS is EUF-CMA in the random oracle model. This short paper describes how to recover the secret key in RQCS with practical simulations. Our experimental results show that we are able to recover the secret key of RQCS in less than 41 seconds for all the proposed schemes at 128-bit, 192-bit and 256-bit security level.

description: The search for pulsars in monitoring data obtained at the radio telescope Large Phased Array (LPA) at a frequency of 111 MHz was carried out. Daily round-the-clock observations were carried out for about 3,000 days. The duration of the observation session for each direction in the sky was 3.5 minutes per day. The search for pulsars was carried out using power spectra. To search for weak pulsars, power spectra were summed up. The expected increase in sensitivity was 35-40 times compared to observations in one session. In a blind search, 330 pulsars with regular radiation were detected, with periods (P) from 0.0333 to 3.7455 s and dispersion measures (DM) up to 249 pc/cm3. 39 pulsars turned out to be new. Average profiles were obtained for 6 pulsars. The DM for 7 pulsars previously detected on the LPA have been clarified.

description: Complete eigenvalue spectra of the staggered Dirac operator in quenched $4d$ compact QED are studied on $8^3 \times 4$ and $8^3 \times 6$ lattices. We investigate the behavior of the nearest-neighbor spacing distribution $P(s)$ as a measure of the fluctuation properties of the eigenvalues in the strong coupling and the Coulomb phase. In both phases we find agreement with the Wigner surmise of the unitary ensemble of random-matrix theory indicating quantum chaos. Combining this with previous results on QCD, we conjecture that quite generally the non-linear couplings of quantum field theories lead to a chaotic behavior of the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator.

The 2/2 Australian infantry battalion : the history of a group experience
Creators: name: Barter, Margaret Ann
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 1989

description: The 2/2 Battalion A. I.F. was a volunteer fighting unit of the Second World War. This study explores the collective experience of battalion members from recruitment in October/November 1939 to disbandment in February 1946. During that time the unit engaged in five campaigns: three of the Middle East and Mediterranean under British cammand and two of the Pacific War under American cammand. Battalion ideals, which find their fullest expression in the unit history and post-war association tend to project public images of communal effort, sustained high morale and unswerving loyalty. Using War Diary records, letters, diaries and veteran interviews this study examines the men's varied and fluctuating responses to their fighting conditions as well as those of the long waiting periods in between. Traditionally military histories deal more with aspects of strategy and operations rather than individual or group responses to fear, death, wounds and illness in battle. Neither do they usually broach the subject of social tensions in an army unit both in and out of action. Questions guiding such an approach allow fruitful comparisons between the 2/2's public and private account of its experience in the years 1939-1946. Such enquiry also raises important questions about the formation of wartime identities, long-observed to be indissoluble in the post-war period.

Inspired by this observation, we will find the tree-level S-matrix elements of one Ramond-Ramond and three open strings by imposing this symmetry on the tree-level S-matrix elements of one Kalb-Ramond and three open strings. We also find a SL(2, R) invariant form of the D3-brane effective action containing four gauge fields with derivative corrections that was derived from one-loop level four-point amplitude. Using the expansion of the nonlinear SL(2, R) invariant structures, we find the action with derivative corrections at the level of more gauge fields

description: Concepts embody the knowledge of the world and facilitate the cognitive processes of human beings. Mining concepts from web documents and constructing the corresponding taxonomy are core research problems in text understanding and support many downstream tasks such as query analysis, knowledge base construction, recommendation, and search. However, we argue that most prior studies extract formal and overly general concepts from Wikipedia or static web pages, which are not representing the user perspective. In this paper, we describe our experience of implementing and deploying ConcepT in Tencent QQ Browser. It discovers user-centered concepts at the right granularity conforming to user interests, by mining a large amount of user queries and interactive search click logs. The extracted concepts have the proper granularity, are consistent with user language styles and are dynamically updated. We further present our techniques to tag documents with user-centered concepts and to construct a topic-concept-instance taxonomy, which has helped to improve search as well as news feeds recommendation in Tencent QQ Browser. We performed extensive offline evaluation to demonstrate that our approach could extract concepts of higher quality compared to several other existing methods. Our system has been deployed in Tencent QQ Browser. Results from online A/B testing involving a large number of real users suggest that the Impression Efficiency of feeds users increased by 6.01% after incorporating the user-centered concepts into the recommendation framework of Tencent QQ Browser.

Theoretical study of charge density waves in transition metal materials
Creators: Okamoto, Junichi
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2014
Subjects: Condensed matter

description: In this thesis we theoretically study new aspects of charge density waves in transition metal materials recently revealed by scanning tunneling microscopy measurements. The two important problems that we have investigated are the effects of orbital degeneracy on the formation of the charge-density waves in cobalt nanowires, and the effects of dilute but strongly pinning impurities on the charge-density wave in niobium diselenide.
      We first present an overview on charge-density waves, and then introduce a general theoretical model describing charge-density waves. We also explain several known results about disorder effects on charge-density waves. We briefly touch on the principle of scanning tunneling microscopy and its advantages compared to other experimental tools.
      Second, we discuss the physics of one-dimensional cobalt nanowires along with experimental results. We propose a theoretical model that is relevant to cobalt nanowires, and then analyze the model by two theoretical tools: mean-field theory and bosonization. Our results show that the multi-orbitals allow a spin-triplet interaction among electrons leading to different phase diagrams from the ones considered previously for similar models. Numerical results obtained by first-principles calculations are also briefly explained.
      Third, we consider the effects of dilute strong impurities on the charge-density wave in niobium diselenide, a transition metal dichalcogenide. We first explain the material and properties of its charge-density wave phase. Then, detailed analysis of a scanning tunneling microscopy measurement is presented. Next, we analytically and numerically study a phenomenological model relevant to the experiment. We show that the dilute strong impurities have little effects at large length scales compared to the average inter-impurity distance, leading to a topologically ordered phase with a (quasi-)long-range autocorrelation; this result is quite different from conventional pictures predicting short-range order with the proliferation of topological defects.

description: This thesis explores how an ostensible tension between communicative and new urbanist planning theories is played out in practice. In collaborative planning processes that promote compact development, do professional planners facilitate public engagement, or do they advocate for smart growth, and are these roles mutually exclusive? The methodology for addressing this question is based on a qualitative research design that comprises semi-structured, open-ended interviews with public, private, and non-profit sector planners. Long Island, New York is a worthwhile laboratory for this investigation, as a number of progressive municipalities have undertaken collaborative processes -- known as visioning initiatives -- to engage community-driven, bottom-up planning for downtown redevelopment around Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) stations. This thesis demonstrates that planners effectively balance the roles of facilitation and advocacy in collaborative processes by engaging in shared learning with the local participants. Planners can ethically advocate for smart growth by educating local participants about the benefits of compact development, which, in turn, can facilitate an informed decision-making process among the local participants about the context-specific future of their community. In this way, planners merge their technical expertise with the intangible local knowledge of the participants in the planning process to advance compact development that is appropriately scaled and sensitive to the existing character of the community. Through an investigation of collaborative planning for smart growth on Long Island, this thesis concludes that a comprehensive theory of planning practice must account for the dialectical relationship between process and outcome that defines the planning profession.
Theorizing the Haunted Classroom: Feminist Pedagogies as Oppositional Intellectual Territory in K-12 Literacy Spaces
Creators: Hrepich, Jeana Marie
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2015
Subjects: Education

description: This dissertation explores feminist pedagogies, taken up as entirely contingent on the historical moment from which they develop and therefore specific to particular culture and politics, as offering alternative methods and rationale(s) for English education, no matter the era. Proposing that these pedagogies stand in opposition to a “politics of rationality” with its, for example, emphasis on high-stakes testing as “evidence” of accountability in the U.S., this dissertation claims feminist pedagogies are closer to failure than success. It is this lens of “failure” wherein an education of difference, one less violent, and more reparative, may be a starting point for a different kind of public education in America.
      Feminist pedagogies in this dissertation include those researched in three National Council of Teachers of English journals -- Language Arts, Voices from the Middle, and The English Journal. Some quiet, and some loud, feminist ways of teaching that subvert notions of "progress" in education rely on intimacies and attachments between human beings in local, literacy-rich settings that would have us question and radically change the foci and structure of English education. Moving away from the faulty value of measurement and towards the value of a less fixed, more dynamic value of love, this dissertation argues that the transformative power of the nurturing classroom has the potential to re-envision what is possible for children, especially those on the margins.

description: The output randomness from a random number generator can be certified by observing the violation of quantum contextuality inequalities based on the Kochen-Specker theorem. Contextuality can be tested in a single quantum system, which significantly simplifies the experimental requirements to observe the violation comparing to the ones based on nonlocality tests. However, it is not yet resolved how to ensure compatibilities for sequential measurements that is required in contextuality tests. Here, we employ a modified Klyachko-Can-Binicioğlu-Shumovsky contextuality inequality, which can ease the strict compatibility requirement on measurements. On a trapped single \Ba ion system, we experimentally demonstrate violation of the contextuality inequality and realize self-testing quantum random number expansion by closing detection loopholes. We perform $1.29 \times 10^8$ trials of experiments and extract the randomness of $8.06 \times 10^5$ bits with a speed of 270 bits s$^{-1}$. Our demonstration paves the way for the practical high-speed spot-checking quantum random number expansion and other secure information processing applications.

Theorizing Pianistic Experience: Tradition, Instrument, Performer

description: This dissertation theorizes expressive sound in piano performance. It views the act of obtaining a desired sound as an act of subtly adjusting to continually changing conditions of sound production. It takes a performer's perspective, focusing on the personal experience of sound, as it is being created in performance. The sound of a piano performance is continually evolving, contingent on the acoustic environment, the characteristics of an instrument, and other circumstantial factors with which a pianist works in performance. Although the focus is on real-time performing experience, in the act of any particular performance, a pianist relies on robust previous experience. This dissertation particularly considers the dynamic, interactive loop of the conception, the making, and the hearing of sound in piano performance. The continued re-enaction of this loop is considered as grounding a specifically pianistic cognitive ability which draws on both the haptic and auditory experience of sound at the piano. My approach to piano playing is rooted in work in critical ethnography as well as theories of cognitive function. These two seemingly disparate areas of enquiry share important common ground in their treatment of conceptualization and experience as mutually definitive. An underlying theme throughout this research is the dynamic interplay between theoretical understanding and lived experience. The focus, however, is consistently on piano playing, seen as the act of engendering artistically charged sound through the interaction with a complex and versatile musical instrument, the acoustics of sound and space, and the expressive possibilities of personal experience.

description: Increasing automation in vehicles enabled by increased connectivity to the outside world has exposed vulnerabilities in previously siloed automotive networks like controller area networks (CAN). Attributes of CAN such as broadcast-based communication among electronic control units (ECUs) that lowered deployment costs are now being exploited to carry out active injection attacks like denial of service (DoS), fuzzing, and spoofing attacks. Research literature has proposed multiple supervised machine learning models deployed as Intrusion detection systems (IDSs) to detect such malicious activity; however, these are largely limited to identifying previously known attack vectors. With the ever-increasing complexity of active injection attacks, detecting zero-day (novel) attacks in these networks in real-time (to prevent propagation) becomes a problem of particular interest. This paper presents an unsupervised-learning-based convolutional autoencoder architecture for detecting zero-day attacks, which is trained only on benign (attack-free) CAN messages. We quantise the model using Vitis-AI tools from AMD/Xilinx targeting a resource-constrained Zynq Ultrascale platform as our IDS-ECU system for integration. The proposed model successfully achieves equal or higher classification accuracy (> 99.5%) on unseen DoS, fuzzing, and spoofing attacks from a publicly available attack dataset when compared to the state-of-the-art unsupervised learning-based IDSs. Additionally, by cleverly overlapping IDS operation on a window of CAN messages with the reception, the model is able to meet line-rate detection (0.43 ms per window) of high-speed CAN, which when coupled with the low energy consumption per inference, makes this architecture ideally suited for detecting zero-day attacks on critical CAN networks.

description: In previous work we have developed a general method for casting a classical field theory subject to Gaussian noise (that is, a stochastic partial differential equation--SPDE) into a functional integral formalism that exhibits many of the properties more commonly associated with quantum field theories (QFTs). In particular, we demonstrated how to derive the one-loop effective potential. In this paper we apply the formalism to a specific field theory of considerable interest, the massless KPZ equation (massless noisy vorticity-free Burgers equation), and analyze its behaviour in the ultraviolet (short-distance) regime. When this field theory is subject to white noise we can calculate the one-loop effective potential and show that it is one-loop ultraviolet renormalizable in 1, 2, and 3 space dimensions, and fails to be ultraviolet renormalizable in higher dimensions. We show that the one-loop effective potential for the massless KPZ equation is closely related to that for lambda phi^4 QFT. In particular we prove that the massless KPZ equation exhibits one-loop dynamical symmetry breaking (via an analog of the Coleman-Weinberg mechanism) in 1 and 2 space dimensions, and that this behaviour does not persist in 3 space dimensions.

description: We derive all second post-Newtonian (2PN), non-precessional effects of spin- orbit coupling on the gravitational wave forms emitted by an inspiraling binary composed of spinning, compact bodies in a quasicircular orbit. Previous post- Newtonian calculations of spin-orbit effects (at 1.5PN order) relied on a fluid description of the spinning bodies. We simplify the calculations by introducing into post-Newtonian theory a delta-function description of the influence of the spins on the bodies' energy-momentum tensor. This description was recently used by Mino, Shibata, and Tanaka (MST) in Teukolsky-formalism analyses of particles orbiting massive black holes, and is based on prior work by Dixon. We compute the 2PN contributions to the wave forms by combining the MST energy-momentum tensor with the formalism of Blanchet, Damour, and Iyer for evaluating the binary's radiative multipoles, and with the well-known 1.5PN order equations of motion for the binary. Our results contribute at 2PN order only to the amplitudes of the wave forms. The secular evolution of the wave forms' phase, the quantity most accurately measurable by LIGO, is not affected by our results until 2.5PN order, at which point other spin-orbit effects also come into play. We plan to evaluate the entire 2.5PN spin-orbit contribution to the secular phase evolution in a future paper, using the techniques of this paper.

description: The analysis of high-dimensional dynamical systems generally requires the integration of simulation data with experimental measurements. Experimental data often has substantial amounts of measurement noise that compromises the ability to produce accurate dimensionality reduction, parameter estimation, reduced order models, and/or balanced models for control. Data assimilation attempts to overcome the deleterious effects of noise by producing a set of algorithms for state estimation from noisy and possibly incomplete measurements. Indeed, methods such as Kalman filtering and smoothing are vital tools for scientists in fields ranging from electronics to weather forecasting. In this work we develop a novel framework for smoothing data based on known or partially known nonlinear governing equations. The method yields superior results to current techniques when applied to problems with known deterministic dynamics. By exploiting the numerical time-stepping constraints of the deterministic system, an optimization formulation can readily extract the noise from the nonlinear dynamics in a principled manner. The superior performance is due in part to the fact that it optimizes global state estimates. We demonstrate the efficiency and efficacy of the method on a number of canonical examples, thus demonstrating its viability for the wide range of potential applications stated above.
