description: The field equations of the new general relativity constructed by Hayashi and Shirafuji (1979), have been applied to two different geometric structures, given by Robertson (1932), in the domain of cosmology. In the first application a family of models, involving two of the parameters characterizing the field equations of the new general relativity, is obtained. In the second application the models obtained are found to involve one parameter only. The cosmological parameters in both applications are calculated and some cosmological problems are discussed in comparison with the corresponding results of other field theories.

description: This paper describes, develops, and validates SciLens, a method to evaluate the quality of scientific news articles. The starting point for our work are structured methodologies that define a series of quality aspects for manually evaluating news. Based on these aspects, we describe a series of indicators of news quality. According to our experiments, these indicators help non-experts evaluate more accurately the quality of a scientific news article, compared to non-experts that do not have access to these indicators. Furthermore, SciLens can also be used to produce a completely automated quality score for an article, which agrees more with expert evaluators than manual evaluations done by non-experts. One of the main elements of SciLens is the focus on both content and context of articles, where context is provided by (1) explicit and implicit references on the article to scientific literature, and (2) reactions in social media referencing the article. We show that both contextual elements can be valuable sources of information for determining article quality. The validation of SciLens, done through a combination of expert and non-expert annotation, demonstrates its effectiveness for both semi-automatic and automatic quality evaluation of scientific news.

description: The size sz(G) of an l_1-graph G=(V,E) is the minimum of n_f/t_f over all its possible l_1-embeddings f into n_f-dimensional hypercube with scale t_f. In terms of v=|V|, the sum of distances between all the pairs of vertices of G is at most sz(G) v^2/4 for v even, (resp. sz(G)(v-1)(v+1)/4 for v odd). This bound is reached if and only if G is an equicut graph, that is, G admits an l_1-embedding with column sums v/2, v even (resp. (v-1)/2 for v odd). Basic properties of equicut graphs are investigated. A construction of equicut graphs from l_1-graphs via a natural doubling construction is given. It generalizes several well-known constructions of polytopes and distance-regular graphs. Large families of examples, mostly related to polytopes and distance-regular graphs, are presented.

description: We studied the low speed fracture regime (0.1mm/s - 1nm/s) in different glassy materials (soda-lime glass, glass-ceramics) with variable but controlled length scale of heterogeneity. The chosen mechanical system enabled us to work in pure mode I (tensile) and at a fixed load on DCDC (double cleavage drilled compression) specimen. The internal residual stresses of studied samples were carefully relaxed by appropriate thermal treatment. By means of optical and atomic force (AFM) microscopy techniques fracture surfaces have been examined. We have shown for the first time that the crack front line underwent an out-of-plane oscillating behavior as a result of a reproducible sequence of instabilities. The wavelength of such a phenomenon is in the micrometer range and its amplitude in the nanometer range. These features were observed for different glassy materials providing that a typical length scale characterizing internal heterogeneities was lower than a threshold limit estimated to few nanometers. This effect is the first clear experimental evidence of crack path instabilities in the low speed regime in a uniaxial loading experiment. This phenomenon has been interpreted by referring to the stability criterion for a straight crack propagation as presented by Adda-Bedia et al. (Phys. Rev. Letters (1996) 76} p1497).

Tiers for peers: a practical algorithm for discovering hierarchy in weighted networks
Creators: name: Tatti, Nikolaj
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Data Structures and Algorithms (cs.DS)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Interactions in many real-world phenomena can be explained by a strong hierarchical structure. Typically, this structure or ranking is not known; instead we only have observed outcomes of the interactions, and the goal is to infer the hierarchy from these observations. Discovering a hierarchy in the context of directed networks can be formulated as follows: given a graph, partition vertices into levels such that, ideally, there are only edges from upper levels to lower levels. The ideal case can only happen if the graph is acyclic. Consequently, in practice we have to introduce a penalty function that penalizes edges violating the hierarchy. A practical variant for such penalty is agony, where each violating edge is penalized based on the severity of the violation. Hierarchy minimizing agony can be discovered in $O(m^2)$ time, and much faster in practice. In this paper we introduce several extensions to agony. We extend the definition for weighted graphs and allow a cardinality constraint that limits the number of levels. While, these are conceptually trivial extensions, current algorithms cannot handle them, nor they can be easily extended. We solve the problem by showing the connection to the capacitated circulation problem, and we demonstrate that we can compute the exact solution fast in practice for large datasets. We also introduce a provably fast heuristic algorithm that produces rankings with competitive scores. In addition, we show that we can compute agony in polynomial time for any convex penalty, and, to complete the picture, we show that minimizing hierarchy with any concave penalty is an NP-hard problem.

description: The noiseless Burgers equation in one spatial dimension is analyzed from the point of view of a diffusive evolution equation in terms of nonlinear soliton modes and linear diffusive modes. The transient evolution of the profile is interpreted as a gas of right hand solitons connected by ramp solutions with superposed linear diffusive modes. This picture is supported by a linear stability analysis of the soliton mode. The spectrum and phase shift of the diffusive modes are determined. In the presence of the soliton the diffusive modes develop a gap in the spectrum and are phase-shifted in accordance with Levinson's theorem. The spectrum also exhibits a zero-frequency translation or Goldstone mode associated with the broken translational symmetry.

description: We present a reduction procedure for gauge theories based on quotienting out the kernel of the presymplectic form in configuration-velocity space. Local expressions for a basis of this kernel are obtained using phase space procedures; the obstructions to the formulation of the dynamics in the reduced phase space are identified and circumvented. We show that this reduction procedure is equivalent to the standard Dirac method as long as the Dirac conjecture holds: that the Dirac Hamiltonian, containing the primary first class constraints, with their Lagrange multipliers, can be enlarged to an extended Dirac Hamiltonian which includes all first class constraints without any change of the dynamics. The quotienting procedure is always equivalent to the extended Dirac theory, even when it differs from the standard Dirac theory. The differences occur when there are ineffective constraints, and in these situations we conclude that the standard Dirac method is preferable --- at least for classical theories. An example is given to illustrate these features, as well as the possibility of having phase space formulations with an odd number of physical degrees of freedom.

description: Mass demographic changes in the ethnic and racial composition of the United States since the 1960s are commonly considered a force driving major transformations in contemporary American politics. In political science, there are longstanding research traditions that examine the political implications of demographic change: how demographic change leads to growing intergroup political contestation over political power and public policies; how demographic changes lead to shifts in the group bases of partisan support; how demographic changes are associated with changes in the demographic composition of politicians and elected officials; and how the changing face of America affects the political responsiveness of elected officials to historically underrepresented but increasingly prominent segments of the population. Despite the proliferation of empirical studies on these topics, numerous causal claims central to broader arguments about the political implications of demographic change deserve greater theoretical and empirical scrutiny. In this dissertation, I make use of novel datasets and methods for descriptive and causal inference to contribute more credible evidence that test these claims and develop new avenues of research.

description: Transition metal oxides have been one of the central objects in the studies of electron correlation effects because of their rich variety of physical properties mainly depending on the transition metal element. On the other hand, exploiting the anion degrees of freedom is less popular but can be another promising way to control properties of strongly correlated materials. In particular, oxyhydrides offer a unique playground of strongly correlated low-dimensional electronic structure, where the $s$ orbitals of hydrogen breaks a chemical bond between the cation $t_{2g}$ orbitals. In this study, we evaluate the effective interaction, i.e., the screened Coulomb interaction parameters in low-energy effective models, for vanadium oxyhydrides Sr$_{n+1}$V$_n$O$_{2n+1}$H$_n$ ($n=1,\infty$) using the constrained random-phase approximation (cRPA). We find that the effective interaction in the $t_{2g}$ model, where only the $t_{2g}$ orbitals are explicitly considered, is strongly screened by the $e_g$ bands compared with that for oxides, because the $e_g$ bands are much entangled with the $t_{2g}$ bands in the oxyhydrides. On the other hand, the effective interaction is rather strong in the $d$ model, where all the vanadium $d$ orbitals are explicitly considered, owing to a large energy separation between the V-$d$ bands and the anion bands (O-$p$ and H-$s$), because the O-$p$ states are stabilized by the existence of the hydrogen atoms. These findings suggest that non-trivial and unique correlation effects can take place in vanadium oxyhydrides.

PRogramAR: Augmented Reality End-User Robot Programming

Year: 2024

description:  The field of end-user robot programming seeks to develop methods that empower non-expert programmers to task and modify robot operations. In doing so, researchers may enhance robot flexibility and broaden the scope of robot deployments into the real world. We introduce PRogramAR (Programming Robots using Augmented Reality), a novel end-user robot programming system that combines the intuitive visual feedback of augmented reality (AR) with the simplistic and responsive paradigm of trigger-action programming (TAP) to facilitate human-robot collaboration. Through PRogramAR, users are able to rapidly author task rules and desired reactive robot behaviors, while specifying task constraints and observing program feedback contextualized directly in the real world. PRogramAR provides feedback by simulating the robot’s intended behavior and providing instant evaluation of TAP rule executability to help end users better understand and debug their programs during development. In a system validation, 17 end users ranging from ages 18 to 83 used PRogramAR to program a robot to assist them in completing three collaborative tasks. Our results demonstrate how merging the benefits of AR and TAP using elements from prior robot programming research into a single novel system can successfully enhance the robot programming process for non-expert users.

description: For over five decades, the benefits of dance/movement therapy (DMT) have not achieved greater credibility than mere observation. Today, neuroscientists have begun to quantify the observed benefits. Using the lens of neuroscience, my thesis explains from a scientific perspective the how and why behind the success of DMT. Specifically, neuroscientists are interested in the concept of empathy or “mirroring” that is fundamental to DMT. This is because “mirroring” is thought to parallel the functioning of specialized neurons in the human brain, called mirror neurons. These neurons are activated when performing an action and when observing someone else performing that same action: watching somebody else doing an action is just like doing the action yourself. As the term mirror neuron suggests, the brain appears to mirror the movement it sees. The mirror neuron system, when translated into DMT, explains how dance therapists may be playing the role of mirror neurons in their ability to connect with the patients. By mirroring their patients’ movements, which reflect underlying pains and emotions, therapists establish a dialogue of empathy between them, and thereby inspire healing and recovery. By scientifically exploring how DMT works, this research provides reasons for why it might be a superior alternative to traditional therapies like talk and psychotherapy. The study of DMT and how it facilitates activation of the mirror neuron system through empathetic mirroring is currently being used as potential treatment for diseases such as Autism and Parkinson’s, as both are characterized by breaks in the mirror neuron system. Research in this topic area serves as a bridge to draw people not only from dance and movement backgrounds, but also from scientific and medical backgrounds.

description: It is known that the radial equation of the massless fields with spin around Kerr black holes cannot be solved by special functions. Recently, the analytic solution was obtained by use of the expansion in terms of the special functions and various astrophysical application have been discussed. It was pointed out that the coefficients of the expansion by the confluent hypergeometric functions are identical to those of the expansion by the hypergeometric functions. We explain the reason of this fact by using the integral equations of the radial equation. It is shown that the kernel of the equation can be written by the product of confluent hypergeometric functions. The integral equaton transforms the expansion in terms of the confluent hypergeometric functions to that of the hypergeometric functions and vice versa,which explains the reason why the expansion coefficients are universal.

description: Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) is a nature-inspired meta-heuristic optimization algorithm, which was proposed by Mirjalili and Lewis in 2016. This algorithm has shown its ability to solve many problems. Comprehensive surveys have been conducted about some other nature-inspired algorithms, such as ABC, PSO, etc.Nonetheless, no survey search work has been conducted on WOA. Therefore, in this paper, a systematic and meta analysis survey of WOA is conducted to help researchers to use it in different areas or hybridize it with other common algorithms. Thus, WOA is presented in depth in terms of algorithmic backgrounds, its characteristics, limitations, modifications, hybridizations, and applications. Next, WOA performances are presented to solve different problems. Then, the statistical results of WOA modifications and hybridizations are established and compared with the most common optimization algorithms and WOA. The survey's results indicate that WOA performs better than other common algorithms in terms of convergence speed and balancing between exploration and exploitation. WOA modifications and hybridizations also perform well compared to WOA. In addition, our investigation paves a way to present a new technique by hybridizing both WOA and BAT algorithms. The BAT algorithm is used for the exploration phase, whereas the WOA algorithm is used for the exploitation phase. Finally, statistical results obtained from WOA-BAT are very competitive and better than WOA in 16 benchmarks functions. WOA-BAT also outperforms well in 13 functions from CEC2005 and 7 functions from CEC2019.

The equations are derived from the Stewart--Lyth equations for the scalar and tensorial perturbations produced during the inflationary period. The geometry of the phase planes transverse to the trajectories is analyzed, and conclusions about the possible behaviour for general solutions are drawn.

Minstrels in the drawing room: music and novel-reading in Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Walter Scott, and George Eliot

description: "Minstrels in the Drawing Room" is an investigation of the representation of musical listening in the nineteenth-century novel. Theoretical accounts of the novel have tended to see it as a universal form, one that opportunistically subsumes all others as its represented content; descriptions of the novel's implied audience often interpret novel-reading as an essentially absorptive activity linking private reading to public belonging through an act of identification. For the writers I discuss here, however, musical listening is interesting because it is a rival mode of shared aesthetic experience that, before the advent of sound recording, was necessarily social. This dissertation draws on recent developments in the history of reading and media theory to describe how novels by three central figures of the European novelistic canon - Goethe, Scott, and Eliot - turn to musical listening to reflect upon the ways in which the absolutely open nature of the novel's mode of address is nevertheless prone to limitation. The dissertation thus complicates often all-or-nothing theories of novel-reading, offering instead a description of how novels model a distanced identification between reader and text.

description: In an earlier paper we introduced the concept of the perfect lens which focuses both near and far electromagnetic fields, hence attaining perfect resolution. Here we consider refinements of the original prescription designed to overcome the limitations of imperfect materials. In particular we show that a multi-layer stack of positive and negative refractive media is less sensitive to imperfections. It has the novel property of behaving like a fibre-optic bundle but one that acts on the near field, not just the radiative component. The effects of retardation are included and minimized by making the slabs thinner. Absorption then dominates image resolution in the near-field. The deleterious effects of absorption in the metal are reduced for thinner layers.

description: The morphology and scaling properties of the noisy Burgers equation in one dimension are treated by means of a nonlinear soliton approach based on the Martin-Siggia-Rose technique. In a canonical formulation the strong coupling fixed point is accessed by means of a principle of least action in the asymptotic nonperturbative weak noise limit. The strong coupling scaling behaviour and the growth morphology are described by a gas of nonlinear soliton modes with a gapless dispersion law and a superposed gas of linear diffusive modes with a gap. The dynamic exponent is determined by the gapless soliton dispersion law, whereas the roughness exponent and a heuristic expression for the scaling function are given by the form factor in a spectral representation of the interface slope correlation function. The scaling function has the form of a Levy flight distribution.

description: The canonical quantization of $N=1$ and $N=2$ supergravity theories is reviewed in this report. A special emphasis is given to the topic of supersymmetric Bianchi class-A and FRW minisuperspaces, namely in the presence of supermatter fields. The quantization of the general theory (including supermatter) is also contemplated. The issue of quantum physical states is subsequently analysed. A discussion on further research problems still waiting to be addressed is included. An extensive and updated bibliography concludes this review.

description: Psychedelics have experienced renewed interest following positive clinical effects, however the neurobiological mechanisms underlying effects remain unclear. The paraventricular nucleus of the hypothalamus (PVN) plays an integral role in stress response, autonomic function, social behavior, and other affective processes. We investigated the effect of psilocin, the psychoactive metabolite of psilocybin, on PVN reactivity in Sprague Dawley rats. Psilocin increased stimulus-independent PVN activity as measured by c-Fos expression in male and female rats. Psilocin increased PVN reactivity to an aversive air-puff stimulus in males but not females. Reactivity was restored at 2- and 7-days post-injection with no group differences. Additionally, prior psilocin injection did not affect PVN reactivity following acute restraint stress. Experimental groups sub-classified by baseline threat responding indicate that increased male PVN reactivity is driven by active threat responders. These findings identify the PVN as a significant site of psychedelic drug action with implications for threat responding behavior.

description: An application of quantum communications is the transmission of qubits to create shared symmetric encryption keys in a process called Quantum Key Distribution (QKD). Contrary to public-private key encryption, symmetric encryption is safe from (quantum) computing attacks, i.e. it provides forward security and is thus attractive for secure communications. In this paper we argue that for free-space quantum communications, especially with satellites, if one assumes that man-in-the-middle attacks can be detected by classical channel monitoring techniques, simplified quantum communications protocols and hardware systems can be implemented that offer improved key rates. We term these protocols photon key distribution (PKD) to differentiate them from the standard QKD protocols. We identify three types of photon sources and calculate asymptotic secret key rates for PKD protocols and compare them to their QKD counterparts. Results show that PKD protocols have roughly a factor of two higher rates as only one measurement basis is used and due to the relaxed security assumptions can establish keys at very high losses whereas in QKD the privacy amplification process becomes prohibitive.

Miracles and Redemptive Aspirations: Theology in the Thought of Carl Schmitt and Walter Benjamin
Creators: Saccomanno, Hilary
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2010
Subjects: History

description: This paper explores the return of the miraculous in twentieth century thought, specifically in the thought of Carl Schmitt and Walter Benjamin. After enlightenment thinkers like Baruch Spinoza and David Hume challenged the validity of the Biblical miracle, it lost viability in public belief and legitimacy in empirical and rational thought. The miracle reappeared in the philosophical systems of Schmitt and Benjamin; they envisioned it as and act of redemption, which salvaged man's past and an aspect of his identity lost in modernity. For Schmitt, the miracle was a decision of the sovereign, who redeemed the state's true identity by transcending the legal order and reuniting the political form, reconciling the identity of the ruler and the ruled. Benjamin imagined different redemptive powers for the miracle; he argued that the miracle was a socially realizable total art form, which gave man the ability to reconcile with his past and determine meaning. This paper traces the interrelated, yet divergent, arguments of Schmitt and Benjamin as they endeavored to reinvent the miracle and enable its reappearance in the twentieth century.

Challenges posed by metal leaching and acid rock drainage at closed mines
Creators: name: Price, William A.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Preventing impacts from metal leaching and acid rock drainage produced by sulfide minerals and their by-products is the most costly and time-consuming reclamation issue facing the mining industry. Challenges discussed in this paper include long-term performance requirements, large information requirements, a need for proactive detection, the need mutually satisfactory resolution of the concerns of the mining industry, government and the public, difficulties in predicting the metal leaching and acid rock drainage (ML/ARD) potential, high costs and the multi-disciplinary and highly specialized nature of ML/ARD work. To address these challenges and meet future environmental objectives, mines with the potential to generate significant ML/ARD need to: (1) conduct detailed monitoring and studies, along with regular maintenance and repair; (2) find new tools and make what we have work better, work cheaper, and work in the future; (3) develop contingency plans to address future changes and use caution in the absence of adequate understanding. Although our understanding of ML/ART is far from complete, this approach should ensure environmentally safe practices in the future.
DC motion of ac driven sine-Gordon solitons

description: We investigate the possibility of dc soliton motion sustained by pure ac driving in the sine-Gordon model. We show by means of the collective coordinate formalism that ac driving induces a net dc velocity whose modulus and direction depend on the driving phase. Numerical simulations of the full sine-Gordon equation confirm the correctness and accuracy of this prediction. Non trivial cases when dc soliton motion is transformed into oscillatory as well as the effects of damping are analyzed. Our results settle a long standing issue about the existence and characteristics of this phenomenon, whose possible appearance in other systems is also discussed.

The Covariant Stone-von Neumann Theorem for Actions of Abelian Groups on $ C^{\ast} $-Algebras of Compact Operators

description: In this paper, we formulate and prove a version of the Stone-von Neumann Theorem for every $ C^{\ast} $-dynamical system of the form $ (G,\mathbb{K}(\mathcal{H}),α) $, where $ G $ is a locally compact Hausdorff abelian group and $ \mathcal{H} $ is a Hilbert space. The novelty of our work stems from our representation of the Weyl Commutation Relation on Hilbert $ \mathbb{K}(\mathcal{H}) $-modules instead of just Hilbert spaces, and our introduction of two additional commutation relations, which are necessary to obtain a uniqueness theorem. Along the way, we apply one of our basic results on Hilbert $ C^{\ast} $-modules to significantly shorten the length of Iain Raeburn's well-known proof of Takai-Takesaki Duality.

description: The excavations at Castle Ditch Lane, Lewes, included the historic building assessment of a former store building and the archaeological evaluation and excavation of two adjacent plots. The site is located on the northern side of the lane, on the site of the castle ditch and bank, or rampart. Finds from the latest ditch deposits, of 15th- to 16th-century date, suggest the ditch was deliberately backfilled to the level of the lane by that period. Other features revealed include a series of inter-cutting pits which contained a range of domestic artefacts and, in one pit, the complete skeleton of a human infant. Pottery from the pits ranged in date from the 12th to the 16th century and, although not a large assemblage, is a useful addition to the ceramic sequence of the town.
