description: Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) triggered an increased interest in problem of image generation due to their improved output image quality and versatility for expansion towards new methods. Numerous GAN-based works attempt to improve generation by architectural and loss-based extensions. We argue that one of the crucial points to improve the GAN performance in terms of realism and similarity to the original data distribution is to be able to provide the model with a capability to learn the spatial structure in data. To that end, we propose the DeshuffleGAN to enhance the learning of the discriminator and the generator, via a self-supervision approach. Specifically, we introduce a deshuffling task that solves a puzzle of randomly shuffled image tiles, which in turn helps the DeshuffleGAN learn to increase its expressive capacity for spatial structure and realistic appearance. We provide experimental evidence for the performance improvement in generated images, compared to the baseline methods, which is consistently observed over two different datasets.

Scalar phantom energy as a cosmological dynamical system
Creators: name: Urena-Lopez, L. Arturo
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Phantom energy can be visualized as a scalar field with a (non-canonical) negative kinetic energy term. We use the dynamical system formalism to study the attractor behavior of a cosmological model containing a phantom scalar field $ϕ$ endowed with an exponential potential of the form $V(ϕ)=V_0 \exp(-λκϕ)$, and a perfect fluid with constant equation of state $γ$; the latter can be of the phantom type too. As in the canonical case, three characteristic solutions can be identified. The scaling solution exists but is either unstable or of no physical interest. Thus, there are only two stable critical points which are of physical interest, corresponding to the perfect fluid and scalar field dominated solutions, respectively. The most interesting case arises for $0> γ> -λ^2/3$, which allows the coexistence of the three solutions. The main features of each solution are discussed in turn.

description: We present a dust spectral energy distribution (SED) and binary stellar population analysis revisiting the dust production rates (DPRs) in the winds of carbon-rich Wolf-Rayet (WC) binaries and their impact on galactic dust budgets. DustEM SED models of 19 Galactic WC ``dustars" reveal DPRs of $\dot{M}_d\sim10^{-10}-10^{-6}$ M$_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$ and carbon dust condensation fractions, $χ_C$, between $0.002 - 40\%$. A large ($0.1 - 1.0$ $μ$m) dust grain size composition is favored for efficient dustars where $χ_C\gtrsim1\%$. Results for dustars with known orbital periods verify a power-law relation between $χ_C$, orbital period, WC mass-loss rate, and wind velocity consistent with predictions from theoretical models of dust formation in colliding-wind binaries. We incorporated dust production into Binary Population and Spectral Synthesis (BPASS) models to analyze dust production rates from WC dustars, asymptotic giant branch stars (AGBs), red supergiants (RSGs), and core-collapse supernovae (SNe). BPASS models assuming constant star formation (SF) and a co-eval $10^6$ M$_\odot$ stellar population were performed at low, Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC)-like, and solar metallicities (Z = 0.001, 0.008, and 0.020). Both constant SF and co-eval models show that SNe are net dust destroyers at all metallicities. Constant SF models at LMC-like metallicities show that AGB stars slightly outproduce WC binaries and RSGs by factors of $2-3$, whereas at solar metallicites WC binaries are the dominant source of dust for $\sim60$ Myr until the onset of AGBs, which match the dust input of WC binaries. Co-eval population models show that for "bursty" SF, AGB stars dominate dust production at late times ($t\gtrsim 70$ Myr).

description: The equilibrium thermodynamics of the two dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger Model is derived by means of a path integral method which accounts for the variable range of the electronic hopping processes. While the lattice degrees of freedom are classical functions of time and are integrated out exactly, the electron particle paths are treated quantum mechanically. The free energy of the system and its temperature derivatives are computed by summing at any $T$ over the ensemble of relevant particle paths which mainly contribute to the total partition function. In the low $T$ regime, the {\it heat capacity over T} ratio shows un upturn peculiar of a glassy like behavior. This feature is more sizeable in the square lattice than in the linear chain as the overall hopping potential contribution to the total action is larger in higher dimensionality.

description: The paradox of a field of a moving locked charge (confined in a closed space) is considered and solved with the use of the integral Maxwell equations. While known formulas obtained for instantaneous fields of charges moving along straight and curved lines are fully correct, measurable quantities are average electric and magnetic fields of locked charges. It is shown that the average electric field of locked charges does not depend on their motion. The average electric field of protons moving in nuclei coincides with that of protons being at rest and having the same spatial distribution of the charge density. The electric field of a twisted electron is equivalent to the field of a centroid with immobile charges which spatial distribution is defined by the wave function of the twisted electron.

description: We construct an efficient cluster algorithm for ferromagnetic SU(N)-symmetric quantum spin systems. Such systems provide a new regularization for CP(N-1) models in the framework of D-theory, which is an alternative non-perturbative approach to quantum field theory formulated in terms of discrete quantum variables instead of classical fields. Despite several attempts, no efficient cluster algorithm has been constructed for CP(N-1) models in the standard formulation of lattice field theory. In fact, there is even a no-go theorem that prevents the construction of an efficient Wolff-type embedding algorithm. We present various simulations for different correlation lengths, couplings and lattice sizes. We have simulated correlation lengths up to 250 lattice spacings on lattices as large as 640x640 and we detect no evidence for critical slowing down.

description: Modeling and reasoning about concurrent quantum systems is very important both for distributed quantum computing and for quantum protocol verification. As a consequence, a general framework describing formally the communication and concurrency in complex quantum systems is necessary. For this purpose, we propose a model qCCS which is a natural quantum extension of classical value-passing CCS with the input and output of quantum states, and unitary transformations and measurements on quantum systems. The operational semantics of qCCS is given based on probabilistic labeled transition system. This semantics has many different features compared with the proposals in literature in order to describe input and output of quantum systems which are possibly correlated with other components. Based on this operational semantics, we introduce the notions of strong probabilistic bisimilarity and weak probabilistic bisimilarity between quantum processes and discuss some properties of them, such as congruence under various combinators.

description: AbstractAI is a popular subject in Computer Science covering a wide range of topics from robotics to machine learning. In graduateand postgraduate studies worldwide course content is largely driven by western universities and by the global tech industrymostly due to the fact that the main language for reference materials is English, the lingua franca in science and technology,and because education is typically geared towards professional careers and employment. The topics taught and the choiceof resources adopted for each course however can vary from school to school, depending on the degree of autonomy ofinstructors, In developing a comprehensive global syllabus for teaching Responsible AI, in consideration of epistemic andregional diversity, the need arose for tangible data to understand the state of the art in this field of education. During thiswork, certain issues in the teaching of Knowledge Representation (KR) typically taught as a subtopic of AI, emerged as worthy of further investigation. KR is a vast subject that lies at the heart of AI and cannot be separated from it. Understanding the breadth of scope of KR and many of its roles not only in devising AI, as well as in other types of systems is also a key to other spheres of human interest. Adequate KR is also necessary to designing, implementing and evaluating reliable and accountable AI. The paper presents the rationale and preliminary findings of research spanning multiple countries, regions, languagesinvestigating how KR is taught, leading to the hypothesis that this lack of adequate KR education may be contributing to increasing risks in irresponsible AI, as well as to other systemic risks including systemic deviation. One of the early findings of the research so far is that there are notable gaps and inconsistencies in the teaching of Knowledge Representation and in particular, the complete lack of Neuro Symbolic KR and AI ethics in curricular topics and teaching materials and courses, and their relation as cofactors in systemic dysfunction.

The zero Schottky barrier of this material made it possible to nanofabricate devices with radii down to below 200 nm without carrier depletion. We shall present a fabrication scheme based on wet and dry etching that yielded excellent reproducibility, very high contrast of the oscillations and good electrical gating. The operation of these structures is compatible with closed-cycle refrigeration and suggests that this process can yield coherent electronic circuits that do not require cryogenic liquids. The InGaAs/AlInAs heterostructure was grown by MBE on a GaAs substrate [1], and in light of the large effective g-factor and the absence of the Schottky barrier is a material system of interest for the investigation of spin-related effects [2-4]} and the realization of hybrid superconductor/semiconductor devices [5].

description: Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are today acknowledged as an effective solution to fulfill the demanding requirements of many practical applications in both classical and quantum optics. Phase shifters integrated in the photonic circuit offer the possibility to dynamically reconfigure its properties in order to fine tune its operation or to produce adaptive circuits, thus greatly extending the quality and the applicability of these devices. In this paper, we provide a thorough discussion of the main problems that one can encounter when using thermal shifters to reconfigure photonic circuits. We then show how all these issues can be solved by a careful design of the thermal shifters and by choosing the most appropriate way to drive them. Such performance improvement is demonstrated by manufacturing thermal phase shifters in femtosecond laser written PICs (FLW-PICs), and by characterizing their operation in detail. The unprecedented results in terms of power dissipation, miniaturization and stability, enable the scalable implementation of reconfigurable FLW-PICs that can be easily calibrated and exploited in the applications.

description: This project, funded by USDA Rural Development Office, provides baseline information on how member farmers of vegetable cooperatives in the Delta area of Arkansas can engage in a participatory entrepreneurial training to add value to their produce, better manage their farm business, and exploit market opportunities in order to contribute to the economic development of their communities. The main project objective was to establish a model of a successful value-added enterprise by nurturing business-development skills in value-added vegetable producers that can be shared and replicated for other agricultural enterprises. The project selected board of directors and member farmers of vegetable growers cooperatives in Lee, Phillips, and St. Francis counties and provided them with participatory entrepreneurial training on how to effectively diversify into sustainable low-cost value-added vegetable produce, secure vendor contracts from fresh vegetable wholesale and brokers, and manage their associations in profitable manner. The policy implication from the results of the training sessions indicates that given the adequate entrepreneurial training and managerial personnel, farm cooperatives and their member farmers in the area can effectively expand their value-added vegetable operations to exploit the growing vegetable markets in the mid-south in order to contribute to the economic development of their communities.
Where are the women? : the representation of gender in the Bhai Bala janamsakhi tradition and the women's oral janamsakhi tradition
Creators: name: Johal, Ranbir Kaur
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The janamsakhis are a Sikh literary tradition, which consist of hagiographies concerning Guru Nanak's life and teachings. Although the janamsakhis are not reliable historical sources concerning the life of Guru Nanak, they are beneficial in imparting knowledge upon the time period in which they developed. The representation of women within these sakhis can give us an indication of the general views o f women of the time. A lack of representation of women within the janamsakhi supports the argument that women have traditionally been assigned a subordinate role within patriarchal society. Due to this subordinate position, they have not had access to written forms of expression; thus, their voices have not been heard, affirming the status of women as a muted group in society. Men, as the dominant group with access to the written word, have been able to make their experiences and opinions heard through written means. The result has been a literature which is 'political', in that it promulgates specific views about women, and 'male', in that it concentrates upon the masculine, masculine characters, masculine plots and masculine perspectives. A reading of the Bhai Bala Tradition, the most popular of the janamsakhi traditions, results in the determination that this literature is firmly rooted as a 'male' and 'political' literature. This conclusion is all the more apparent when comparing the written Bhai Bala Tradition to the oral women's janamsakhi tradition in the District of Jalandhar, in the Punjab. A firm division between the public and private spheres is very evident when comparing the two traditions. Males have exercised control over the written tradition, so that the stories contained within this tradition emphasize the public sphere, where men dominate and the focus is upon adventure oriented plots which take place away from the domestic world, which is familiar to women. In contrast, in the women's oral tradition, because they are exercising control, the emphasis is upon the private sphere, where women dominate and the focus is upon stories concerning the domestic world and the women's realm. The women's oral janamsakhi tradition is evidence that, though they may be denied a voice through the written world, women can succeed in finding a voice through alternate means of expression. Through these oral stories, women are able to voice their opinions and frustrations.

Status of Radio and Acoustic Detection of Ultra-High Energy Cosmic Neutrinos and a Proposal on Reporting Results

description: Neutrino astronomy offers the possibility to perform extra-galactic observations well beyond the photon absorption cutoff above 50 TeV. Based on observations of cosmic rays, we already know that astrophysical sources produce particles with at least a million times more energy than this photon cutoff. Once discovered, either the nature of the sources themselves or the cross sections of ultra-high energy neutrinos with terrestrial matter may reveal exotic physical processes that are inaccessible to modern accelerators. Some of these processes may be due to as-yet unknown physics at the grand unification scale or beyond. Neutrino telescopes based on optical techniques currently operating and under construction have apertures measured in several km^3-sr. Radio and acoustic detection techniques have been demonstrated in laboratory experiments and are currently used for instrumentation of apertures 10 to 10,000 times larger than optical techniques for neutrinos above 10 PeV. I discuss the status of current and proposed neutrino telescope projects based on these techniques. These telescopes have already ruled out some of the more exotic predictions for neutrino intensity. The upcoming generation of radio-based and acoustic-based detectors should be sensitive to cosmic neutrinos above 1 EeV originating through the so-called GZK process. A comparison of different neutrino telescopes using a common aperture variable shows how they are complementary in the trade-off of volume versus threshold. I include a proposal for how neutrino telescopes should report their sensitivities to facilitate direct comparisons among them and to allow testing of neutrino brightness models that appear even after publication of the experimental results.

Investing in the domestic : the crisis of the modern city in late new wave cinema
Creators: name: Bercov, Kimberly Dawn
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Jean-Luc Godard's Two or Three Things I Know about Her/Deux ou trois chases que je sais d'elle (1966) clearly equates the Her/elle in the title with both the city of Paris and a young housewife living in a modern apartment on the outskirts of the city. Godard has insisted that this 'elle' is only Paris and not Juliette—the housewife whose daily activities the film documents. Yet the movements of Juliette within the film are inseparable from the knowledge imparted by the filming of the city's public and domestic spaces. Further, her quotidian route through these sites must constantly negotiate an almost excessive overabundance of consumer images. This film, and much of the work of the so-called French New Wave, attempts to articulate the problems posed by the 'Modern City' and the conditions of post-war capitalism. Weekend (1967) and Fahrenheit 451 (1966) envision a city in which the status quo delineated by consumer culture sets the pattern for all forms of urban life. Fahrenheit 451, a dystopic science fiction film directed by Francois Truffaut, describes a world in which the very structure of the home is conflated with technologies of mass culture and consumerism. Technology enters the domestic sphere in this film as a 'screen interface' that 'spectacularly' produces gendered and sexualized modes of identification almost exclusively for the suburban housewife. This thesis explores the gendered spaces of the cinematic city, particularly how architecture, technology, and consumerism are spatialized. In chapter one I address how the spaces of consumerism and the domestic are conflated, leaving it up to the suburban housewife to bear the burden. In chapter two I turn to the formation of female desire as it is reconfigured in the exchanges between the spaces of technology and the domestic. How are these intersecting spheres represented as potential sites of communal transformation? How do they serve to reveal the limits of transformation? The possibility for social change within this cinematic space is ultimately relocated outside of the urban. All three films offer a significant re-appraisal of the 'Modern City,' and in the process reveal its profound links to women's bodies and female desire. I conclude with a discussion of the failures of the post-war 'Modern City' which, in these films, is rejected in favour of a move 'into nature,' a going 'back to zero,' as a possible site for reimagining new patterns of social and sexual relations.

description: With the availability of bioengineered food ingredients, food manufacturers must choose whether to produce foods that do not contain bioengineered ingredients and, in the near future, whether to produce foods that contain ingredients enhanced through bioengineering. In either of these cases, food manufacturers must develop an identity-preservation system to preserve the attributes of food products throughout production and distribution. Using information obtained through interviews with food manufacturers, trade associations, and industry consultants, this paper focuses on the characteristics of identity-preservation systems that may be needed for producing nonbioengineered or enhanced bioengineered foods.

description: We analyze the dust attenuation properties of a volume-limited, optically-selected sample of normal star forming galaxies in nearby clusters as observed by GALEX. The internal attenuation is estimated using three independent indicators, namely: the ratio of the total infrared to far-ultraviolet emission, the ultraviolet spectral slope beta and the Balmer decrement. We confirm that normal galaxies follow a L_TIR/L_FUV-beta relation offset from the one observed for starburst galaxies. This offset is found to weakly correlate with the birthrate parameter, thus with the galaxy star formation history. We study the correlations of dust attenuation with other global properties, such as the metallicity, dynamical mass, ionized gas attenuation, Halpha emission and mass surface density. Metal-rich, massive galaxies are, as expected, more heavily extinguished in the UV than are small systems. For the same gas metallicity normal galaxies have lower L_TIR/L_FUV ratio than starbursts, in agreement with the difference observed in the L_TIR/L_FUV-beta relation. Unexpectedly we find however that normal star forming galaxies follow exactly the same relationship between metallicity and ultraviolet spectral slope beta determined for starbursts, complicating our understanding of dust properties. This result might indicate a different dust geometry between normal galaxies and starbursts, but it could also be due to aperture effects eventually present in the IUE starbursts dataset. The present multiwavelength study allows us to provide some empirical relations from which the total infrared to far ultraviolet ratio (L_TIR/L_FUV) can be estimated when far infrared data are absent.

description: The Juno mission has provided an accurate determination of Jupiter's gravitational field, which has been used to obtain information about the planet's composition and internal structure. Several models of Jupiter's structure that fit the probe's data suggest that the planet has a diluted core, with a total heavy-element mass ranging from ten to a few tens of Earth masses (~5-15 % of the Jovian mass), and that heavy elements (elements other than H and He) are distributed within a region extending to nearly half of Jupiter's radius. Planet-formation models indicate that most heavy elements are accreted during the early stages of a planet's formation to create a relatively compact core and that almost no solids are accreted during subsequent runaway gas accretion. Jupiter's diluted core, combined with its possible high heavy-element enrichment, thus challenges standard planet-formation theory. A possible explanation is erosion of the initially compact heavy-element core, but the efficiency of such erosion is uncertain and depends on both the immiscibility of heavy materials in metallic hydrogen and on convective mixing as the planet evolves. Another mechanism that can explain this structure is planetesimal enrichment and vaporization during the formation process, although relevant models typically cannot produce an extended diluted core. Here we show that a sufficiently energetic head-on collision (giant impact) between a large planetary embryo and the proto-Jupiter could have shattered its primordial compact core and mixed the heavy elements with the inner envelope. Models of such a scenario lead to an internal structure that is consistent with a diluted core, persisting over billions of years. We suggest that collisions were common in the young Solar system and that a similar event may have also occurred for Saturn, contributing to the structural differences between Jupiter and Saturn.

description: A shopping-habits survey was completed at selected California WIC clinic sites. Although the survey was given to WIC program participants from all racial or ethnic groups, tests revealed that a representative sample was obtained only from members of the Hispanic population, who make up the largest ethnic group served by the California WIC Program. Consequently, the study presented herein is restricted to the shopping habits of Hispanic California WIC Program participants. This study identified the specific brand preferences of the WIC population for the cereals and juices offered by the California WIC Program and to find out if families with two or more people on WIC would be able to handle buying larger quantities of the same food in one shopping trip, thus allowing the program to issue fewer food instruments for the same quantity of food and decrease the number of transactions at the grocery store. An attempt was also made to assess the utilization of farmers' market coupons. The characteristics included in this study were family income, language preference, household size, and head-of-household education level. Results of this survey indicate capacities to obtain larger quantities of food on one shopping trip; clear preferences for specific brands of plastic-bottled, shelf-stable juices over frozen juices; and preferences for specific cereal brands and types. Additionally, the survey results suggest that pre-sliced processed American cheese may be an acceptable alternative to cheese in block form. These observations, together with reasons given for limited use of farmers' market assistance, suggest the possible presence of time-utility trade-offs in low-income California Hispanic shopping plans.
