Patterns from a signed language corpus: clause-like units in Auslan (Australian sign language)
Creators: name: Hodge, Gabrielle

description: Linguists have long been interested in the grammatical structure of native signed languages. The identification and analysis of units such as clauses and sentences has been of particular interest, and these units have been investigated from various theoretical approaches using various methods. Yet despite an extensive literature, most studies have concluded that the identification and analysis of grammatical units such as clauses and sentences in signed languages is difficult and problematic. The aim of this study is to explore whether signed utterances can be identified and analysed from a clause-level perspective of analysis. To explore this aim, twenty retellings from the Auslan Corpus were enriched with annotations to identify and analyse possible ‘clause-like’ units (units that are potentially clauses) in the study corpus, and to identify and analyse how some of these units are linked via relations of hypotaxis. These units were identified by considering the composite nature of signed utterances as they are cocreated between interactants during their face-to-face interactions. A proportion of these units were re-interpreted and re-analysed by two other annotators to ascertain percentage rates of disagreement, to resolve problematic analyses, and to identify subjective differences in the interpretation, annotation and analysis of the clause-like units identified in the study corpus.Exploration of these annotated and checked units resulted in the identification of regular patterns of organisation in the study corpus. Many patterns appear to constitute clause-like units that may be identified and explored elsewhere in the Auslan Corpus, and may consequently suggest entrenched ‘structures’ of signed language use. Some patterns appear to constitute strategies of co-construction that emerge as the retellings unfold, and are highly dependent on the spatio-temporal context for recognition and interpretation. Yet other patterns appear to constitute units that are primarily by-products of the linguistic analysis undertaken here, and as such cannot be described as structures of signed language use in the study corpus.This thesis finds that signed utterances in narratives can be identified and analysed from a clause-level perspective of analysis, but that the patterns identified represent a range of analyses—not all of which align with findings reported for other signed and spoken languages, or which necessarily suggest entrenched patterns of language use. An analysis of signed utterances from a clause-level perspective points only to symptoms of grammaticalised clause structure, not conclusive evidence of it. These findings support recent studies that indicate the tight integration of showing and telling meaning in face-to-face languages, but has significant implications for earlier claims regarding the structure of native signed languages, as well as future investigations of both signed and spoken languages.

description: Combining the semi-classical localization mechanism for gauge fields with $N$ domain wall background in a simple $SU(N)$ gauge theory in five space-time dimensions we investigate the geometric Higgs mechanism, where a spontaneous breakdown of the gauge symmetry comes from splitting of domain walls. The mass spectra are investigated in detail for the phenomenologically interesting case $SU(5) \to SU(3)\times SU(2)\times U(1)$ which is realized on a split configuration of coincident triplet and doublet of domain walls. We derive a low energy effective theory in a generic background using the moduli approximation, where all non-linear interactions between effective fields are captured up to two derivatives. We observe novel similarities between domain walls in our model and D-branes in superstring theories.

description: A central difficulty of state-specific Multi-Reference Coupled Cluster (MR-CC) formalisms concerns the definition of the amplitudes of the single and double excitation operators appearing in the exponential wave operator. If the reference space is a complete active space (CAS) the number of these amplitudes is larger than the number of singly and doubly excited determinants on which one may project the eigenequation, and one must impose additional conditions. The present work first defines a state-specific reference-independent operator $\hat{\tilde{T}}^m$ which acting on the CAS component of the wave function $|Ψ_0^m \rangle$ maximizes the overlap between $(1+\hat{\tilde{T}}^m)|Ψ_0^m \rangle$ and the eigenvector of the CAS-SD CI matrix $|Ψ_{\rm CAS-SD}^m \rangle$. This operator may be used to generate approximate coefficients of the Triples and Quadruples, and a dressing of the CAS-SD CI matrix, according to the intermediate Hamiltonian formalism. The process may be iterated to convergence. As a refinement towards a strict Coupled Cluster formalism, one may exploit reference-independent amplitudes provided by $(1+\hat{\tilde{T}}^m)|Ψ_0^m \rangle$ to define a reference-dependent operator $\hat{T}^m$ by fitting the eigenvector of the (dressed) CAS-SD CI matrix. The two variants, which are internally uncontracted, give rather similar results. The new MR-CC version has been tested on the ground state potential energy curves of 6 molecules (up to triple-bond breaking) and a two excited states. The non-parallelism error with respect to the Full-CI curves is of the order of 1 m$E_{\rm h}$.

description: We consider the problem of magnetic charges in $(2+1)$ dimensions for a torus geometry in real-space, subjected to an inverted Lorentz force due to an external electric field applied normal to the surface of the torus. We compute the Hall conductivity associated with transport of these charges for the case of negligible gapless excitations and global $\mathrm{U}(1)$ charge conservation symmetry, and find it is proportional to an integer-valued topological invariant $\mathcal{Q}$, corresponding to a magnetic quantum Hall effect (MQHE). We identify a lattice model realizing this physics in the absence of an external electric field. Based on this, we identify a generalization of the MQHE to be quantized transport of magnetic skyrmions, the quantum skyrmion Hall effect (QSkHE), with a $\mathrm{U}(1)$ easy-plane anisotropy of magnetic skyrmions and effective conservation of charge associated with magnetic skyrmions yielding incompressibility, provided a hierarchy of energy scales is respected. As the lattice model may be characterized both by a total Chern number and the topological invariant $\mathcal{Q}$, we furthermore outline a possible field theory for electric charges, magnetic charges, and correlations between magnetic and electric charges approximated as composite particles, on a two-torus, to handle the scenario of intermediate-strength correlations between electric and magnetic charges modeled as composite particles. We map this problem to a generalized $(4+1)$D theory of the quantum Hall effect for the composite particles.

description: Post-Silicon Tunable (PST) clock buffers are widely used in high performance designs to counter process variations. By allowing delay compensation between consecutive register stages, PST buffers can effectively improve the yield of digital circuits. To date, the evaluation of manufacturing yield in the presence of PST buffers is only possible using Monte Carlo simulation. In this paper, we propose an alternative method based on graph transformations, which is much faster, more than 1000 times, and computes a parametric minimum clock period. It also identifies the gates which are most critical to the circuit performance, therefore enabling a fast analysis-optimization flow.

description: We report on the exciton and trion density dynamics in a single layer of MoSe$_2$, resonantly excited and probed using three-pulse four-wave mixing (FWM), at temperatures from 300K to 77K . A multi-exponential third-order response function for amplitude and phase of the heterodyne-detected FWM signal including four decay processes is used to model the data. We provide a consistent interpretation within the intrinsic band structure, not requiring the inclusion of extrinsic effects. We find an exciton radiative lifetime in the sub-picosecond range consistent to what has been recently reported. After the dominating radiative decay, the remaining exciton density, which has been scattered from the initially excited bright radiative state into dark states of different nature by exciton-phonon scattering or disorder scattering, shows a slower dynamics, covering 10ps to 10ns timescales. This includes direct bright transitions with larger in-plane momentum, as well as indirect dark transitions to indirect dark states. We find that exciton-exciton annihilation is not relevant in the observed dynamics, in variance from previous finding under non-resonant excitation. The trion density at 77K reveals a decay of the order of 1ps, similar to what is observed for the exciton. After few tens of picoseconds, the trion dynamics resembles the one of the exciton, indicating that trion ionization occurs on this timescale.

Understanding SME employees' security behaviours when performing work tasks using BYOD from multiple work locations

description: The focus of this study is to examine the security behaviours of SME employees who unintentionally misuse information systems or do not comply with security policies when working from multiple locations using BYOD. SMEs underestimate the security risk their employees may encounter when working from locations other than a central office location. SMEs have resource constraints (human and financial capital) that preclude them from focusing on protecting information assets. At the same time, SMEs attract talent by offering flexible work arrangements such as working from home, a co-working centre or other locations other than the office (anywhere working). This study investigated factors that explain SME employees’ security behaviour. The constructs for the theoretical model were developed from protection motivation theory, the theory of planned behaviour, habit, hardiness and stress. The constructs were empirically validated using data collected from 294 SME employees. The results of the study show that hardiness, stress and habit have a significant impact on employee’s security intentions when working from multiple locations using BYOD. The study contributes to information security study by highlighting the importance of an employee’s hardiness personality trait in framing their positive security behaviour.

description: The VLT-FLAMES Tarantula Survey has observed hundreds of O-type stars in the 30 Doradus region of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). We study the properties of 105 apparently single O-type dwarfs. To determine stellar and wind parameters, we used the IACOB-GBAT package, an automatic procedure based on a large grid of atmospheric models calculated with the FASTWIND code. In addition to classical techniques, we applied the Bayesian BONNSAI tool to estimate evolutionary masses. We provide a new calibration of effective temperature vs. spectral type for O-type dwarfs in the LMC, based on our homogeneous analysis of the largest sample of such objects to date and including all spectral subtypes. Good agreement with previous results is found, although the sampling at the earliest subtypes could be improved. Rotation rates and helium abundances are studied in an evolutionary context. We find that most of the rapid rotators (vsini higher than 300 km/s ) in our sample have masses below 25 MSun and intermediate rotation-corrected gravities (log gc between 3.9 and 4.1). Such rapid rotators are scarce at higher gravities (i.e. younger ages) and absent at lower gravities (larger ages). This is not expected from theoretical evolutionary models, and does not appear to be due to a selection bias in our sample. We compare the estimated evolutionary and spectroscopic masses, finding a trend that the former is higher for masses below 20 MSun. This can be explained as a consequence of limiting our sample to the O-type stars, and we see no compelling evidence for a systematic mass discrepancy. For most of the stars in the sample we were unable to estimate the wind-strength parameter (hence mass-loss rates) reliably, particularly for objects with luminosity lower than logL/LSun about 5.1. Ultraviolet spectroscopy is needed to undertake a detailed investigation of the wind properties of these dwarfs.

description: Semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenide monolayers have emerged as promising candidates for future valleytronics-based quantum information technologies. Two distinct momentum-states of tightly-bound electron-hole pairs in these materials can be deterministically initialized via irradiation with circularly polarized light. Here, we investigate the ultrafast dynamics of such a valley polarization in monolayer tungsten diselenide by means of time-resolved Kerr reflectometry. The observed Kerr signal in our sample stems exclusively from charge-neutral excitons. Our findings support the picture of a fast decay of the valley polarization of bright excitons due to radiative recombination, intra-conduction-band spin-flip transitions, intervalley-scattering processes, and the formation of long-lived valley-polarized dark states.

description: Level-sensitive latches are widely used in high- performance designs. For such circuits efficient statistical timing analysis algorithms are needed to take increasing process vari- ations into account. But existing methods solving this problem are still computationally expensive and can only provide the yield at a given clock period. In this paper we propose a method combining reduced iterations and graph transformations. The reduced iterations extract setup time constraints and identify a subgraph for the following graph transformations handling the constraints from nonpositive loops. The combined algorithms are very efficient, more than 10 times faster than other existing methods, and result in a parametric minimum clock period, which together with the hold time constraints can be used to compute the yield at any given clock period very easily.

description: This article describes a smart manufacturing framework, comprising an on-demand, cloud-based deployment of a modeling application in a manufacturing operation. A specific use case, the optimization of the austenitization of steel parts, is presented. The framework uses a Kepler workflow as a cloud service to orchestrate and manage the data and computations required to implement a run-time model-based control and optimization approach on Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources. Austenitization is an energy intensive heat treating process commonly employed to harden and strengthen ferrous metals, such as steel. Pre-finished steel parts are heated to a specific temperature in a continuously operating industrial austenitization furnace without oxidizing the surface. The steel parts are then rapidly cooled or quenched in an oil bath. There is significant potential to optimize energy productivity by managing the energy usage needed to achieve the properties of the metal part instead of managing to operational process settings. Models of this process, which predict the furnace energy consumption and temperatures of parts as a function of time and position in the furnace and map temperatures to properties, have been previously developed; however, for operational use, the data and models need to be orchestrated for run-time operation, access to infrastructure, scalability, security, and support. A cloud-based approach is an alternative to the on-premise approach, in which an infrastructure for data, computational, and security needs to be built and maintained to support the application. A workflow service makes it possible to combine and sequence simulation and optimization software applications developed in several distinct MATLAB (The Mathworks Inc., Natick, MA) model configurations that are needed for various data-based calculations. The final output of the computation is the optimal operating condition of the furnace that minimizes the fuel consumption without violating the part target specifications. The workflow can be triggered on demand by an operator of the furnace or run at periodic intervals. All the computational resources required are instantiated and run at the start of the workflow and shutdown at the end of the workflow.

description: Early theoretical work revealed that the simplest class of autocatalytic cycles, known as hypercycles, provide an elegant framework for understanding the evolution of mutualism. Furthermore, hypercycles are highly susceptible to parasites, spatial structure constituting a key protection against them. However, there is an insufficient experimental validation of these theoretical predictions, in addition to little knowledge on how environmental conditions could shape the spatial dynamics of hypercycles. Here, we constructed spatially extended hypercycles by using synthetic biology as a way to design mutualistic and parasitic {\em E. coli} strains. A mathematical model of the hypercycle front expansion is developed, providing analytic estimates of front speed propagation. Moreover, we explore how the environment affects the mutualistic consortium during range expansions. Interestingly, moderate improvements in environmental conditions (namely, increasing the availability of growth-limiting amino acids) can lead to a slowing-down of the front speed. Our agent-based simulations suggest that opportunistic depletion of environmental amino acids can lead to subsequent high fractions of stagnant cells at the front, and thus to the slow-down of the front speed. Moreover, environmental deterioration can also shape the interaction of the parasitic strain towards the hypercycle. On the one hand, the parasite is excluded from the population during range expansions in which the two species mutualism can thrive (in agreement with a classical theoretical prediction). On the other hand, environmental deterioration (e.g., associated with toxic chemicals) can lead to the survival of the parasitic strain, while reshaping the interactions within the three-species. The evolutionary and ecological implications for the design of synthetic consortia are outlined.

description: We present the first extensive spectroscopic study of the global population in star clusters Trumpler~16, Trumpler~14 and Collinder~232 in the Carina Nebula, using data from the Gaia-ESO Survey, down to solar-mass stars. In addition to the standard homogeneous Survey data reduction, a special processing was applied here because of the bright nebulosity surrounding Carina stars. We find about four hundred good candidate members ranging from OB types down to slightly sub-solar masses. About one-hundred heavily-reddened early-type Carina members found here were previously unrecognized or poorly classified, including two candidate O stars and several candidate Herbig Ae/Be stars. Their large brightness makes them useful tracers of the obscured Carina population. The spectroscopically-derived temperatures for nearly 300 low-mass members allows the inference of individual extinction values, and the study of the relative placement of stars along the line of sight. We find a complex spatial structure, with definite clustering of low-mass members around the most massive stars, and spatially-variable extinction. By combining the new data with existing X-ray data we obtain a more complete picture of the three-dimensional spatial structure of the Carina clusters, and of their connection to bright and dark nebulosity, and UV sources. The identification of tens of background giants enables us also to determine the total optical depth of the Carina nebula along many sightlines. We are also able to put constraints on the star-formation history of the region, with Trumpler~14 stars found to be systematically younger than stars in other sub-clusters. We find a large percentage of fast-rotating stars among Carina solar-mass members, which provide new constraints on the rotational evolution of pre-main-sequence stars in this mass range.

description: We study 2-player turn-based perfect-information stochastic games with countably infinite state space. The players aim at maximizing/minimizing the probability of a given event (i.e., measurable set of infinite plays), such as reachability, Büchi, omega-regular or more general objectives. These games are known to be weakly determined, i.e., they have value. However, strong determinacy of threshold objectives (given by an event and a threshold $c \in [0,1]$) was open in many cases: is it always the case that the maximizer or the minimizer has a winning strategy, i.e., one that enforces, against all strategies of the other player, that the objective is satisfied with probability $\ge c$ (resp. $< c$)? We show that almost-sure objectives (where $c=1$) are strongly determined. This vastly generalizes a previous result on finite games with almost-sure tail objectives. On the other hand we show that $\ge 1/2$ (co-)Büchi objectives are not strongly determined, not even if the game is finitely branching. Moreover, for almost-sure reachability and almost-sure Büchi objectives in finitely branching games, we strengthen strong determinacy by showing that one of the players must have a memoryless deterministic (MD) winning strategy.

description: In this paper, we investigate the challenges to apply Statistical Static Timing Analysis (SSTA) in hierarchical design flow, where modules supplied by IP vendors are used to hide design details for IP protection and to reduce the complexity of design and verification. For the three basic circuit types, combinational, flip-flop-based and latch-controlled, we propose methods to extract timing models which contain interfacing as well as compressed internal constraints. Using these compact timing models the runtime of full-chip timing analysis can be reduced, while circuit details from IP vendors are not exposed. We also propose a method to reconstruct the correlation between modules during full-chip timing analysis. This correlation can not be incorporated into timing models because it depends on the layout of the corresponding modules in the chip. In addition, we investigate how to apply the extracted timing models with the reconstructed correlation to evaluate the performance of the complete design. Experiments demonstrate that using the extracted timing models and reconstructed correlation full-chip timing analysis can be several times faster than applying the flattened circuit directly, while the accuracy of statistical timing analysis is still well maintained.

description: The key theme of this thesis is how the railways of Burma have performed in the past and what their prospects are for the future. Case studies of two rural lines (the Aungban-Loikaw line and the Kyangin-Pakokku line) and a study of the railways in southern Shan State suggest that there were poor construction methods in the past, and that today there is a lack of maintenance and a lack of commitment from Myanma Railways to fund these lines. The thesis begins with an examination of the economic benefits and impact of railways, including a discussion of railway finance with a focus on the Operating Ratio. Chapter 3 is the core of this thesis with a statistical overview of the railways in Burma, with an emphasis on the period since World War II. Information is drawn from multiple sources to construct time series graphs of key aspects relating to the railways in Burma. Chapter 4 considers the likelihood of the construction of a China-Burma Railway from Yunnan Province in China, to Kyaukphyu on the coast of Rakhine State, Burma. The recently opened railway from Nairobi to Mombasa in Kenya could be a model for a future China-Burma Railway, but major economic and political concessions would need to be made by the government of Burma for such a line to be built. Chapter 5 is the case study of the line to Loikaw, and Chapter 6 of the line on the west bank of the Irrawaddy River from Kyangin to Pakokku. Th estudy of the Kyangin-Pakokku line highlights the poor quality of construction undertaken by Myanma Railways in recent years; the poor quality of current maintenance on the line; and the poor facilities for passengers on the line. Chapter 7 discusses the railways in southern Shan State, concluding that construction of the Shan State Railway is important from an economic viewpoint, but is a long way off. Chapter 8 covers a number of smaller topics, including international links, for example the possibility of a railway from Burma to India. By looking at past statistics relating to the railways, insight is provided into the issues faced by Myanma Railways today. The thesis draws on empirical evidence from field trips to Burma to highlight areas of concern with the current operations of Myanma Railways. This thesis recommends that the government achieve a balance between the funding of key lines such as the Yangon-Mandalay line and the Circular Railway in Yangon compared to the funding of work (e.g. repair, maintenance and construction) on smaller regional lines.

description: Memory corruption vulnerabilities in C/C++ applications enable attackers to execute code, change data, and leak information. Current memory sanitizers do no provide comprehensive coverage of a program's data. In particular, existing tools focus primarily on heap allocations with limited support for stack allocations and globals. Additionally, existing tools focus on the main executable with limited support for system libraries. Further, they suffer from both false positives and false negatives. We present Comprehensive User-Space Protection for C/C++, CUP, an LLVM sanitizer that provides complete spatial and probabilistic temporal memory safety for C/C++ program on 64-bit architectures (with a prototype implementation for x86_64). CUP uses a hybrid metadata scheme that supports all program data including globals, heap, or stack and maintains the ABI. Compared to existing approaches with the NIST Juliet test suite, CUP reduces false negatives by 10x (0.1%) compared to the state of the art LLVM sanitizers, and produces no false positives. CUP instruments all user-space code, including libc and other system libraries, removing them from the trusted code base.

description: Despite the recent rapid adoption of rooftop solar PV for residential customers, islanded operation during grid outages remains elusive for most PV owners. In this paper we consider approaches to improve the reliability of electricity supply in the context of a residential microgrid, consisting of a group of residential customers each with rooftop solar PV, that are connected to the distribution network via a single point of common coupling. It is assumed that there is insufficient PV generation at all times to meet the electricity demand within the residential microgrid. Three optimization-based algorithms are proposed to improve the reliability of electricity supply to each residential customer, despite variability and intermittency of the solar resource and periods of infrequent and sustained power outages in the electricity grid. By means of a case study we show that the majority of residential customers achieve greater reliability of uninterrupted electricity supply when connecting to the residential microgrid in comparison to operating in isolated self-consumption mode.

description: Series expansions of unknown fields $Φ=\sumφ_n Z_n$ in elongated waveguides are commonly used in acoustics, optics, geophysics, water waves and other applications, in the context of coupled-mode theories (CMTs). The transverse functions $Z_n$ are determined by solving local Sturm-Liouville problems (reference waveguides). In most cases, the boundary conditions assigned to $Z_n$ cannot be compatible with the physical boundary conditions of $Φ$, leading to slowly convergent series, and rendering CMTs mild-slope approximations. In the present paper, the heuristic approach introduced in (Athanassoulis & Belibassakis 1999, J. Fluid Mech. 389, 275-301) is generalized and justified. It is proved that an appropriately enhanced series expansion becomes an exact, rapidly-convergent representation of the field $Φ$, valid for any smooth, nonplanar boundaries and any smooth enough $Φ$. This series expansion can be differentiated termwise everywhere in the domain, including the boundaries, implementing an exact semi-separation of variables for non-separable domains. The efficiency of the method is illustrated by solving a boundary value problem for the Laplace equation, and computing the corresponding Dirichlet-to-Neumann operator, involved in Hamiltonian equations for nonlinear water waves. The present method provides accurate results with only a few modes for quite general domains. Extensions to general waveguides are also discussed.
