description: This doctorate explores 'Organic Growth and Form in Abstract Painting', as the focus of my studio-based research, and which has resulted in two significant series of paintings, Organica and Streaming. The accompanying exegesis addresses experiences that are realized within the studio practice, and complements the two series of paintings. In the exegesis I describe the innovative and distinctive painting processes I have developed, and explain my motivation for working this way. I cite the writing of the philosopher of science, Henri Bortoft, in particular his description of 'active' seeing, which I suggest can be understood as a kind of modeling of my processes of making the Organica and Streaming paintings. Key to my research has been an investigation into the work of the early Russian avant-garde artist, musician, theorist and teacher, Mikhail Matyushin, who promoted an 'organic' vision of painting during the early years of modernist experimentation, insisting that perception cannot be separated from the body's inherent connection with nature. I discuss how the artists in the Organic studio, led by Matyushin, tested their sensitivity to perceptual and sensory experience with controlled experiments. Philosophically, they considered their findings to be congenial with the latest scientific discoveries of their time. Although my paintings are constructed very differently from those of Matyushin, my approach to perception and interpretation in painting is in sympathy with his thinking. The constructive and perceptual approach I have taken to both series of paintings has been directly influenced by immersion in natural environments. My exegesis provides a detailed account of this working process: how I work with geometric templates for the coordination of colours, and my systematic approach to their application, leading to uncontrived 'organic' extensions in the detail. I discuss my interest in the implicit knowledge garnered through perception of colours and the connective fabric underlying surface appearances in nature. I argue that these observations are generative resources for painting, and emphasise the fact that our sensory and thinking bodies are also part of nature. - provided by Candidate.
CSCF: a chaotic sine cosine firefly Algorithm for practical application problems

description: Recently, numerous meta-heuristic based approaches are deliberated to reduce the computational complexities of several existing approaches that include tricky derivations, very large memory space requirement, initial value sensitivity etc. However, several optimization algorithms namely firefly algorithm, sine cosine algorithm, particle swarm optimization algorithm have few drawbacks such as computational complexity, convergence speed etc. So to overcome such shortcomings, this paper aims in developing a novel Chaotic Sine Cosine Firefly (CSCF) algorithm with numerous variants to solve optimization problems. Here, the chaotic form of two algorithms namely the sine cosine algorithm (SCA) and the Firefly (FF) algorithms are integrated to improve the convergence speed and efficiency thus minimizing several complexity issues. Moreover, the proposed CSCF approach is operated under various chaotic phases and the optimal chaotic variants containing the best chaotic mapping is selected. Then numerous chaotic benchmark functions are utilized to examine the system performance of the CSCF algorithm. Finally, the simulation results for the problems based on engineering design are demonstrated to prove the efficiency, robustness and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

description: In this paper, we present ScalarFlow, a first large-scale data set of reconstructions of real-world smoke plumes. We additionally propose a framework for accurate physics-based reconstructions from a small number of video streams. Central components of our algorithm are a novel estimation of unseen inflow regions and an efficient regularization scheme. Our data set includes a large number of complex and natural buoyancy-driven flows. The flows transition to turbulent flows and contain observable scalar transport processes. As such, the ScalarFlow data set is tailored towards computer graphics, vision, and learning applications. The published data set will contain volumetric reconstructions of velocity and density, input image sequences, together with calibration data, code, and instructions how to recreate the commodity hardware capture setup. We further demonstrate one of the many potential application areas: a first perceptual evaluation study, which reveals that the complexity of the captured flows requires a huge simulation resolution for regular solvers in order to recreate at least parts of the natural complexity contained in the captured data.

Orbital Inflation: inflating along an angular isometry of field space
Creators: name: Achucarro, Ana
name: Welling, Yvette
Publisher: name: Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron, DESY, Hamburg
Year: 2019

description: The simplicity of the CMB data, so well described by single-field inflation, raises the question whether there might be an equally simple multi-field realization consistent with the observations. We explore the idea that an approximate 'angular' shift symmetry in field space (an isometry) protects the dynamics of coupled inflationary perturbations. This idea relates to the recent observation that multi-field inflation mimics the predictions of single-field inflation, if the inflaton is efficiently and constantly coupled to a second massless degree of freedom (the isocurvature perturbation). In multi-field inflation, the inflationary trajectory is in general not aligned with the gradient of the potential. As a corollary the potential does not reflect the symmetries of perturbations. We propose a new method to reconstruct simultaneously a two-field action and an inflationary trajectory which proceeds along an `angular' direction of field space, with a constant radius of curvature, and that has a controlled mass of `radial' isocurvature perturbations (entropy mass). We dub this `Orbital Inflation'. In this set-up the Hubble parameter determines the behavior of both the background and the perturbations. First, Orbital Inflation provides a playground for quasi-single field inflation. Second, the exquisite analytical control of these models allows us to exactly solve the phenomenology of Orbital Inflation with a small entropy mass and a small radius of curvature, a regime not previously explored. The predictions are single-field-like, although the consistency relations are violated. Moreover, the value of the entropy mass dictates how the inflationary predictions fan out in the ($n_s$, $r$) plane. Depending on the size of the self interactions of the isocurvature perturbations, the non-Gaussianity parameter $f_{NL}$ can range from slow-roll suppressed to $\mathcal{O}(\text{a few})$.

description: A generalized Cho-Faddeev-Niemi ansatz for SU(3) Yang-Mills is investigated. The corresponding classical field equations are solved for its simplest parametrization. From these solutions it is possible to define a confining central non-relativistic potential used to study heavy quarkonia. The associated spectra reproduces the experimental spectra with an error of less than 3% for charmonium and 1% for bottomonium. Moreover, the recently discovered new charmonium states can be accomodate in the spectra, keeping the same level of precision. The leptonic width show good agreement with the recent measurements. The charmonium and bottomonium E1 electromagnetic transitions widths are computed and compared with the experimental values.

The Timing Residual Patterns Due to Pulsar Acceleration
Creators: name: Xie, Yi

Subjects: subject: High Energy Astrophysical Phenomena (astro-ph.HE)

description: The form of timing residuals due to errors in pulsar spin period $P$ and its derivative $\dot{P}$, in positions, as well as in proper motions, have been well presented for decades in the literature. However, the residual patterns due to errors in the pulsar acceleration have not been reported previously, while a pulsar in the galaxy or a globular cluster (GC) will be unavoidably accelerated. The coupling effect of the pulsar transverse acceleration and the R$\rm{\ddot{o}}$mer delay on timing residuals are simulated in this work. The results show that the residual due to the effect can be identified by the oscillation envelopes of the residuals. It is also shown that the amplitude of the residual due to the effect is usually relatively small, however, it may probably be observable for pulsars distributing in the vicinity of the core of a nearby GC.

description: We construct an inflationary model that is consistent with both large non-Gaussianity and a running spectral index. The scenario of modulated inflation suggests that modulated perturbation can induce the curvature perturbation with a large non-Gaussianity, even if the inflaton perturbation is negligible. Using this idea, we consider a multi-field extension of the modulated inflation scenario and examine the specific situation where different moduli are responsible for the perturbation at different scales. We suppose that the additional moduli (shooting-star moduli) is responsible for the curvature perturbation at the earlier inflationary epoch and it generates the fluctuation with n>1 spectral index at this scale. After a while, another moduli (or inflaton) takes the place and generates the perturbation with n<1. At the transition point the two fluctuations are comparable with each other. We show how the spectral index is affected by the transition induced by the shooting-star moduli.

description: We consider the clustering of Lennard-Jones particles by using an energetic connectivity criterion proposed long ago by T.L. Hill [J. Chem. Phys. 32, 617 (1955)] for the bond between pairs of particles. The criterion establishes that two particles are bonded (directly connected) if their relative kinetic energy is less than minus their relative potential energy. Thus, in general, it depends on the direction as well as on the magnitude of the velocities and positions of the particles. An integral equation for the pair connectedness function, proposed by two of the authors [Phys Rev. E 61, R6067 (2000)], is solved for this criterion and the results are compared with those obtained from molecular dynamics simulations and from a connectedness Percus-Yevick like integral equation for a velocity-averaged version of Hill's energetic criterion.

We show that for canonical deformation of space-time the dynamical effects are absent, while in the case of Lie-algebraic noncommutativity, when spatial coordinates commute to the time variable, the additional acceleration of particle is generated. We also indicate, that in the case of spatial coordinates commuting in Lie-algebraic way, as well as for quadratic deformation, there appear additional velocity and position-dependent forces.

These stars have 18 ~ 21) optical spectra acquired by the Sloan Digital Sky Survey through model atmosphere fitting are trustworthy. Our spectra range from 3800A to 6000A, therefore including H beta to H9. The H8 line was only marginally present in the SDSS spectra, but is crucial to determine the gravity. When we compare the values published by Kleinman et al. (2004) and Eisenstein et al. (2006) with our line-profile (LPT) fits, the average differences are: Delta Teff ~ 320 K, systematically lower in SDSS, and Delta log g ~ 0.24 dex, systematically larger in SDSS. The correlation between gravity and effective temperature can only be broken at wavelengths bluer than 3800 A. The uncertainties in Teff are 60% larger, and in log g larger by a factor of 4, than the Kleinman et al. (2004) and Eisenstein et al. (2006) internal uncertainties.

description: Ethical and legal concerns make it necessary for programs that may directly influence the life of people (via, e.g., legal or health counseling) to justify in human-understandable terms the advice given. Answer Set Programming has a rich semantics that makes it possible to very concisely express complex knowledge. However, justifying why an answer is a consequence from an ASP program may be non-trivial -- even more so when the user is an expert in a given domain, but not necessarily knowledgeable in ASP. Most ASP systems generate answers using SAT-solving procedures on ground rules that do not match how humans perceive reasoning. We propose using s(CASP), a query-driven, top-down execution model for predicate ASP with constraints to generate justification trees of (constrained) answer sets. The operational semantics of s(CASP) relies on backward chaining, which is intuitive to follow and lends itself to generating explanations that are easier to translate into natural language. We show how s(CASP) provides minimal justifications for, among others, relevant examples proposed in the literature, both as search trees but, more importantly, as explanations in natural language. We validate our design with real ASP applications and evaluate the cost of generating s(CASP) justification trees.

description: The analysis of solar-like oscillations for stars belonging to a binary system provides a unique opportunity to probe the internal stellar structure and to test our knowledge of stellar physics. Such oscillations have been recently observed and characterized for the A component of the 70 Ophiuchi system. A model of 70 Ophiuchi AB that correctly reproduces all observational constraints available for both stars is determined. An age of 6.2 +- 1.0 Gyr is found with an initial helium mass fraction Y_i=0.266 +- 0.015 and an initial metallicity (Z/X)_i=0.0300 +- 0.0025 when atomic diffusion is included and a solar value of the mixing-length parameter assumed. A precise and independent determination of the value of the mixing-length parameter needed to model 70 Oph A requires accurate measurement of the mean small separation, which is not available yet. Current asteroseismic observations, however, suggest that the value of the mixing-length parameter of 70 Oph A is lower or equal to the solar calibrated value. The effects of atomic diffusion and of the choice of the adopted solar mixture were also studied. We also tested and compared the theoretical tools used for the modeling of stars for which p-modes frequencies are detected by performing this analysis with three different stellar evolution codes and two different calibration methods. We found that the different evolution codes and calibration methods we used led to perfectly coherent results.

description: When students write programs, their program structure provides insight into their learning process. However, analyzing program structure by hand is time-consuming, and teachers need better tools for computer-assisted exploration of student solutions. As a first step towards an education-oriented program analysis toolkit, we show how supervised machine learning methods can automatically classify student programs into a predetermined set of high-level structures. We evaluate two models on classifying student solutions to the Rainfall problem: a nearest-neighbors classifier using syntax tree edit distance and a recurrent neural network. We demonstrate that these models can achieve 91% classification accuracy when trained on 108 programs. We further explore the generality, trade-offs, and failure cases of each model.

We consider a set of equations, where islands are assumed to be point-like, as well as an improved one that takes the size of the islands into account. The first set of equations is solved exactly but its predictive power is restricted to a few pulses. The improved set of equations is integrated numerically, is in excellent agreement with simulations, and fully accounts for the crossover from continuous to pulsed deposition. Moreover, we analyze the scaling of the nucleation density and show numerical results indicating that a previously observed logarithmic scaling does not apply.

description: By performing high resolution angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) experiments on four different families of p-type cuprates, over an energy range much bigger than investigated before, we report the discovery of a universal high energy anomaly in the spectral function. This anomaly is characterized by the presence of two new high energy scales $E_1= 0.35-0.45$eV and $E_2=0.8-0.9$eV and the pinning of the main ARPES spectral function along the boundary of a diamond in the momentum space. This anomaly unveils a missing link between the doped oxygen holes and the quasiparticles, providing a full range of relevant interaction to the high Tc problem.

Self-esteem and persistence in the face of failure
Creators: name: Di Paula, Adam
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Two studies tested a theory of how trait self-esteem moderates behavioral and cognitive persistence in the face of failure. Three primary hypotheses were examined. First, that high self-esteem (HSE) individuals persist more than low self-esteem (LSE) individuals when their initial attempts to reach a goal fail, but subsequent or repeated failures lead HSE individuals to reduce behavioral persistence and pursue goal alternatives more quickly than LSE individuals. Second, that when no goal alternatives are available, HSE individuals behaviorally persist more than LSE individuals. Third, despite reductions in behavioral persistence, LSE individuals do not "give up" on the failed goal but continue to persist cognitively, in the form of aversive ruminations about the failed goal. In a factorial experiment, persistence was examined as a function of self-esteem, degree of failure, and the availability of goal alternatives. As hypothesized, HSE participants behaviorally persisted more than LSE participants after a single failure, but less after repeated failure. However, selfesteem differences in behavioral persistence did not emerge when goal alternatives were unavailable. Partial support was received for the hypothesis that LSE individuals engage in more ruminative persistence than HSE individuals-LSE participants showed higher levels of ruminative persistence on one of two measures of ruminative persistence. The findings regarding behavioral persistence were conceptually replicated, and the hypothesis regarding ruminative persistence received stronger support, in a longitudinal field study in which HSE and LSE participants initially listed their goals and reported on their behavioral and ruminative persistence regarding these goals 5 months later. HSE participants exhibited better calibration between perceptions of goal failure and behavioral pursuit than LSE participants, indicating that increasing perceptions of goal failure were associated with reductions in behavioral pursuit more for HSE than LSE participants. Although they reduced behavioral pursuit relative to HSE participants, LSE participants continued to persist cognitively, by ruminating about their goals more than HSE participants. Discussion focuses on the need to revise traditional views of HSE individuals that emphasize their tenacious persistence and views of LSE individuals that emphasize their tendency to give up in the face of failure.

description: Bivalves are a diverse mollusc group of economic and ecological importance. An evident resilience to pollution, parasites and extreme environments makes some bivalve species important models for studying adaptation and immunity. Despite substantial progress in sequencing projects of bivalves, information on non-coding genes and gene-regulatory aspects is still lacking. Here, we review the current repertoire of bivalve microRNAs (miRNAs), important regulators of gene expression in Metazoa. We exploited available sncRNA data for Pinctada martensii, Crassostrea gigas, Corbicula fluminea, Tegillarca granosa and Ruditapes philippinarum, and we produced new sncRNA data for two additional bivalves, the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis and the blood clam Scapharca broughtonii. We found substantial heterogeneity and incorrect annotations of miRNAs; hence, we reannotated conserved miRNA families using recently established criteria for bona fide microRNA annotation. We found 106 miRNA families missing in the previously published bivalve datasets and 89 and 87 miRNA complements were identified in the two additional species. The overall results provide a homogeneous and evolutionary consistent picture of miRNAs in bivalves and enable future comparative studies. The identification of two bivalve-specific miRNA families sheds further light on the complexity of transcription and its regulation in bivalve molluscs.This article is part of the Theo Murphy meeting issue ‘Molluscan genomics: broad insights and future directions for a neglected phylum’.

description: In this paper we generalize our investigation of the unitarity of non-compact WZNW models connected to Hermitian symmetric spaces to the N=1 world-sheet supersymmetric extension of these models. We will prove that these models have a unitary spectrum in a BRST approach for antidominant highest weight representations if the level and weights of the gauged subalgebra are integers. We will find new critical string theories in 7 and 9 space-time dimensions.

description: This poster outlines how creators of scientific data can and should work with librarians to make their data FAIR (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable). The starting point is the observation that the originators of the FAIR concept point out that a 'little FAIR' may go a long way towards achieving FAIR aspirations. Second, the authors point out that value-added FAIR efforts should align with where the data is in the data life cycle. Fully FAIR data is not a binary choice. Third, data has an ongoing presence or life story, that suggests ongoing curation and potential additional FAIR data activities are possible increasing data FAIR-ness. Finally the authors argue that librarians have knowledge, skills, and resources that researchers can leverage in working towards FAIR data.
Determining the neutron star equation of state using the narrow-band gravitational wave detector Schenberg

description: We briefly review the properties of quasi-normal modes of neutron stars and black holes. We analyse the consequences of a possible detection of such modes via the gravitational waves associated with them, especially addressing our study to the Brazilian spherical antenna, on which a possible detection would occur at 3.0-3.4 kHz. A question related to any putative gravitational wave detection concerns the source that produces it. We argue that, since the characteristic damping times for the gravitational waves of neutron stars and black holes are different, a detection can distinguish between them, and also distinguish the neutron stars oscillating modes. Moreover, since the source can be identified by its characteristic damping time, we are able to extract information about the neutron star or black hole. This information would lead, for example, to a strong constraint in the nuclear matter equation of state, namely the compression modulus should be K=220 MeV.
A paradox in the global description of the multiverse

description: We use an argument by Page to exhibit a paradox in the global description of the multiverse: the overwhelming majority of observers arise from quantum fluctuations and not by conventional evolution. Unless we are extremely atypical, this contradicts observation. The paradox does not arise in the local description of the multiverse, but similar arguments yield interesting constraints on the maximum lifetime of metastable vacua.

Boundary-induced nonequilibrium phase transition into an absorbing state

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We demonstrate that absorbing phase transitions in one dimension may be induced by the dynamics of a single site. As an example we consider a one-dimensional model of diffusing particles, where a single site at the boundary evolves according to the dynamics of a contact process. As the rate for offspring production at this site is varied, the model exhibits a phase transition from a fluctuating active phase into an absorbing state. The universal properties of the transition are analyzed by numerical simulations and approximation techniques.

Energy-dependent effective interactions for dilute many-body systems

description: We address the issue of determining an effective two-body interaction for mean-field calculations of energies of many-body systems. We show that the effective interaction is proportional to the phase shift, and demonstrate this result in the quasiclassical approximation when there is a trapping potential in addition to the short-range interaction between a pair of particles. We calculate numerically energy levels for the case of an interaction with a short-range square-well and a harmonic trapping potential and show that the numerical results agree well with the analytical expression. We derive a generalized Gross--Pitaevskii equation which includes effective range corrections and discuss the form of the electron--atom effective interaction to be used in calculations of Rydberg atoms and molecules.

Reduction of systems of first-order differential equations via Lambda-symmetries

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Exactly Solvable and Integrable Systems (nlin.SI)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The notion of lambda-symmetries, originally introduced by C. Muriel and J.L. Romero, is extended to the case of systems of first-order ODE's (and of dynamical systems in particular). It is shown that the existence of a symmetry of this type produces a reduction of the differential equations, restricting the presence of the variables involved in the problem. The results are compared with the case of standard (i.e. exact) Lie-point symmetries and are also illustrated by some examples.

description: Recently, Halder \emph{et al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{122}, 040403 (2019)] proposed the concept strong nonlocality without entanglement: an orthogonal set of fully product states in multipartite quantum systems that is locally irreducible for every bipartition of the subsystems. As the difficulty of the problem, most of the results are restricted to tripartite systems. Here we consider a weaker form of nonlocality called local distinguishability based genuine nonlocality. A set of orthogonal multipartite quantum states is said to be genuinely nonlocal if it is locally indistinguishable for every bipartition of the subsystems. In this work, we tend to study the latter form of nonlocality. First, we present an elegant set of product states in bipartite systems that is locally indistinguishable. After that, based on a simple observation, we present a general method to construct genuinely nonlocal sets of multipartite product states by using those sets that are genuinely nonlocal but with less parties. As a consequence, we obtain that genuinely nonlocal sets of fully product states exist for all possible multipartite quantum systems.

description: Object-oriented database systems proved very valuable at handling and administrating complex objects. In the following guidelines for embedding neural networks into such systems are presented. It is our goal to treat networks as normal data in the database system. From the logical point of view, a neural network is a complex data value and can be stored as a normal data object. It is generally accepted that rule-based reasoning will play an important role in future database applications. The knowledge base consists of facts and rules, which are both stored and handled by the underlying database system. Neural networks can be seen as representation of intensional knowledge of intelligent database systems. So they are part of a rule based knowledge pool and can be used like conventional rules. The user has a unified view about his knowledge base regardless of the origin of the unique rules.

description: We study the isospin asymmetry as an observable in exclusive B -> K* gamma decay that can be used to study the effects of physics beyond the Standard Model. We present predictions for isospin asymmetry in Supersymmetric extension of the Standard Model with minimal flavor violation, using parameter values allowed by current experimental constraints. This observable can provide very tight constraints on the mSUGRA parameter space.

Europe’s mirror: civil society and the Other
Creators: name: Fieldhouse, Julie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: While much has been written in recent times on the concept of civil society, the idea that it is part of an Orientalist construct of West and non-West has not been explored. This dissertation addresses this lacuna in the literature by examining Western concepts of civil society and establishing the ways in which these concepts are constructed through the deployment of a mirroring construction of non-Western Others. I examine the work of three theorists (Montesquieu, Ferguson and Hegel) who wrote on civil society during the Enlightenment or in its aftermath. These theorists are emblematic of a discursive formation which differed from prior discursive formations in two related respects: their concept of civil society and their construction of non-Western Others. During the eighteenth century both constructions of the concept of civil society and of non-Western Others were undergoing significant changes leading eventually to a concept of civil society as distinct from the state and to what might be termed a "post-Enlightenment geographical imagination". To demonstrate the disjuncture between discursive formations, the work of two seventeenth-century theorists (Hobbes and Locke) is compared and contrasted with that of these writers. The work of three late twentieth-century social scientists (Shils, Gellner and Fukuyama) is examined and their concept of civil society and use of non-Western Others is contrasted with those of the prior discursive formation. I show how their concept of civil society is informed both by the concept of civil society developed in the Enlightenment and its aftermath and by the mirroring constructions of non-Western Others of the post-Enlightenment geographical imagination. Underscoring the work of all these theorists are methods of comparison and the representational practices they authorize. These are explored through two conceptions of alterity which have operated in Western thought and their connections to questions of comparison. An analysis is made of the relationship of the ideas of comparison and comparative method to questions of translation in Western philosophy and social science. The implications of this discussion of comparison and representation for theories of civil society and their constructions of non-Western Others is analyzed.
