description: Since the end of the Cold War, the United Nations Security Council (‘UNSC’) has taken a leading role in investigating atrocities. Yet, the UNSC has only investigated atrocities committed in eleven out of the ninety-two states that have experienced atrocities during this period. This dissertation examines the reasons behind this disparity. To do so, this dissertation examines how past studies on atrocities investigations do not account for the work of the UNSC in this field, and how past studies on the UNSC cannot explain its actions on atrocities investigations. Instead, by relying on historical records and interviews with decision-makers, this dissertation argues that the UNSC’s decisions on which atrocities to investigate are committee projects, which can only be understood through the prism of the UNSC’s decision-making process. Because of the constraints imposed by the UNSC process, an atrocities investigation will take place only after (i) a diplomat brings specific atrocities to the attention of the UNSC, (ii) an independent commission of inquiry supports the creation of an atrocities investigation, and (iii) the UNSC members become comfortable with the text of the authorizing resolution. This dissertation examines the political decisions behind each of these three steps and highlights how the decision-making process guides and influences the UNSC’s actions. By doing so, it provides an explanation on the aforementioned double standard in the UNSC’s work vis-à-vis atrocities.

A 3+1 Computational Scheme for Dynamic Spherically Symmetric Black Hole Spacetimes -- I: Initial Data

description: When using the black hole exclusion (horizon boundary condition) technique, $K$ is usually nonzero and spatially variable, so none of the special cases of York's conformal-decomposition algorithm apply, and the full 4-vector nonlinear York equations must be solved numerically. We discuss the construction of dynamic black hole initial data slices using this technique: We perturb a known black hole slice via some Ansatz, apply the York decomposition (using another Ansatz for the inner boundary conditions) to project the perturbed field variables back into the constraint hypersurface, and finally optionally apply a numerical 3-coordinate transformation to (eg) restore an areal radial coordinate. In comparison to other initial data algorithms, the key advantage of this algorithm is its flexibility: $K$ is unrestricted, allowing the use of whatever slicing is most suitable for (say) a time evolution. We have implemented this algorithm for the spherically symmetric scalar field system. We present numerical results for a number of Eddington- Finkelstein--like initial data slices containing black holes surrounded by scalar field shells. Using 4th order finite differencing with resolutions of $Δr/r \approx 0.02$ (0.01) near the (Gaussian) perturbations, the numerically computed energy and momentum constraints for the final slices are $\ltsim 10^{-8}$ ($10^{-9}$) and $\ltsim 10^{-9}$ ($10^{-10}$) in magnitude. Finally, we briefly discuss the errors incurred when interpolating data from one grid to another, as in numerical coordinate transformation or horizon finding. We show that for the usual moving-local-interpolation schemes, even for smooth functions the interpolation error is not smooth.

description: Metric learning aims to construct an embedding where two extracted features corresponding to the same identity are likely to be closer than features from different identities. This paper presents a method for learning such a feature space where the cosine similarity is effectively optimized through a simple re-parametrization of the conventional softmax classification regime. At test time, the final classification layer can be stripped from the network to facilitate nearest neighbor queries on unseen individuals using the cosine similarity metric. This approach presents a simple alternative to direct metric learning objectives such as siamese networks that have required sophisticated pair or triplet sampling strategies in the past. The method is evaluated on two large-scale pedestrian re-identification datasets where competitive results are achieved overall. In particular, we achieve better generalization on the test set compared to a network trained with triplet loss.
Generation of Pulsed Polarization Entangled Two-Photon State via Temporal and Spectral Engineering

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: The quantum state of the photon pair generated from type-II spontaneous parametric down-conversion pumped by a ultrafast laser pulse exhibits strong decoherence in its polarization entanglement, an effect which can be attributed to the clock effect of the pump pulse or, equivalently, to distinguishing spectral information in the two-photon state. Here, we propose novel temporal and spectral engineering techniques to eliminate these detrimental decoherence effects. The temporal engineering of the two-photon wavefunction results in a universal Bell-state synthesizer that is independent of the choice of pump source, crystal parameters, wavelengths of the interacting photons, and the bandwidth of the spectral filter. In the spectral engineering technique, the distinguishing spectral features of the two-photon state are eliminated through modifications to the two-photon source. In addition, spectral engineering also provides a means for the generation of polarization-entangled states with novel spectral characteristics: the frequency-correlated state and the frequency-uncorrelated state.

description: High resolution numerical simulations of stationary inverse energy cascade in two-dimensional turbulence are presented. Deviations from Gaussianity of velocity differences statistics are quantitatively investigated. The level of statistical convergence is pushed enough to permit reliable measurement of the asymmetries in the probability distribution functions of longitudinal increments and odd-order moments, which bring the signature of the inverse energy flux. Their scaling laws do not present any measurable intermittency correction. The seventh order skewness is found to increase by almost two orders of magnitude with respect to the third, thus becoming of order unity.

description: We explore what may be learned by close encounters between extrasolar minor bodies like `Oumuamua and the Sun. These encounters may yield strong constraints on the bulk composition and possible origin of `Oumuamua-like objects. We find that such objects collide with the Sun once every 30 years, while about 2 pass within the orbit of Mercury each year. We identify preferred orientations for the orbits of extrasolar objects and point out known Solar System bodies with these orientations. We conclude using a simple Bayesian analysis that about one of these objects is extrasolar in origin, even if we cannot tell which.

Understanding the function and differentiation of adipose tissue macrophages

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Immunology
subject: FOS: Clinical medicine
subject: Nutrition

description: Obesity alters metabolism including increasing insulin resistance and hepatic accumulation of triglycerides. Obesity also activates immune responses in adipose tissue (AT) including accumulation of adipose tissue macrophages (ATMs) (Weisberg, McCann et al. 2003, Xu, Barnes et al. 2003). AT releases chemokines that recruit circulating monocytes into AT which differentiate in ATMs. In a lipid-rich environment, ATMs accumulate lipid by mechanisms that have yet to be directly studied.  (Prieur, Mok et al. 2011 , Cinti, Mitchell et al. 2005, Xu, Grijalva et al. 2013). Some work has implied that FFA are taken up by ATMs and re-esterified with glycerol to yield TG; others imply the direct release of triglycerides (TG) by select adipocytes in crown-like structures (Prieur, Mok et al. 2011 , Cinti, Mitchell et al. 2005, Xu, Grijalva et al. 2013). Nonetheless, obesity leads to the accumulation of neutral lipid in ATMs and induces lysosomal dependent lipid catabolism.  The question my thesis tried to answer is how lipid is delivered to lysosomes.  Autophagy of lipid droplets or lipophagy contributes to lipid catabolism in other cells, including hepatocytes and foam cells. We hypothesized that lipophagy would regulate lipid delivery for lysosomal dependent lipid catabolism in ATMs. Our data, however, demonstrated that lipophagy does not contribute to lysosomal dependent lipid catabolism in ATMs. Myeloid specific ablation of Atg7, a protein necessary for autophagosome formation, did not lead to alterations in lipid content of ATMs or in whole body metabolism. These finding suggested an endosomal-dependent delivery of lipid to lysosomes in ATMs. We found lipid in lipid vesicles, structures distinct from lipid droplets. These neutral lipid vesicles contain adipocyte specific proteins suggesting they are released from adipocytes. The adipocyte derived lipid vesicles also had the ability to differentiate bone marrow derived macrophages into ATM-like cells. Lipid vesicles provide a transport mechanism for lipids between adipocytes and ATMs, contributing to ATM differentiation.  Our data suggest a complex interplay in lipid exchange between adipocytes and ATMs and a role for adipocyte derived vesicles in ATM differentiation.

description: This presentation is designed to be taught alongside Chapter 14: Pupil progression should be addressed at every stage of planning: lesson plans (short term), units of work (medium term) and departmental plans that are informed by national curriculum frameworks or examination guidelines and usual cover one or more school years (long term). The elements of planning for progression are described in this chapter. The chapter begins by defining design and technology capability, which is generally recognised as been the centre of all learning in design and technology, where capability is a sum of the parts of a pupils’ experiences and learning, rather than the atomisation of making, designing, researching, and planning. Using design and technology capability as a starting point, the second section explores two levels of planning: medium- and long-term planning. In the final section, the focus shifts to the needs, motivations and characteristics of individual pupils and how these factors might influence pupils’ learning. Whilst acknowledging that some of these influences are beyond your control, the idea is that by bringing them to the fore they can be considered, and where appropriate, redressed through planning for progression.

We have studied the Brownian motion of the mirror, both in the free regime and in the cold-damped regime when an external viscous force is applied by radiation pressure. We have also studied the thermal-noise squeezing when the external force is parametrically modulated. We have observed both the 50% theoretical limit of squeezing at low gain and the parametric oscillation of the mirror for a large gain.

description: We conduct experiments and simulations to study the disordered packing of rods in small containers. Experiments study cylindrical rods with aspect ratio ranging from 4 to 32; simulations use of spherocylinders with similar aspect ratios. In all cases, rods pack randomly in cylindrical containers whose smallest dimension is larger than the rod length. Packings in smaller containers have lower volume fractions than those in larger containers, demonstrating the influence of the boundaries. The volume fraction extrapolated to infinite container size decreases with increasing aspect ratio, in agreement with previous work. X-ray tomography experiments show that the boundary effects depend on the orientation of the boundary, indicating a strong influence of gravity, whereas the simulation finds boundary effects that are purely geometric. In all cases, the boundary influence extends approximately half a particle length into the interior of the container.

Understanding the evolution of two species of highly migratory cetacean at multiple scales and the potential value of a mechanistic approach
Creators: Kershaw, Francine Lindsay Anne
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Ecology
subject: FOS: Biological sciences

description: An improved understanding of how behavior influences the genetic structure of populations would offer insight into the inextricable link between ecological processes and evolutionary patterns. This dissertation aims to demonstrate the need to consider behavior alongside genetics by examining the population genetic structure of two species of highly migratory cetacean across multiple scales and presenting an exploration of some potential lines of enquiry into the behavioral mechanisms underlying the patterns of genetic population structure observed.
      	The first empirical chapter presents a population genetic analysis conducted on a data set of new and existing samples of Bryde’s whale (Balaenoptera edeni spp.) collected from the Western and Central Indo-Pacific and the Northwest Pacific Ocean. Levels of evolutionary divergence between two subspecies (B. e. brydei and B. e. edeni) and the degree of population structure present within each subspecies were explored. The subsequent three empirical chapters represent a series of population- and individual-level genetic analyses on a data set of more than 4,000 individual humpback whales (Megaptera novaengliae) sampled from across the South Atlantic and Western and Northern Indian Oceans over two decades. Patterns of genetic population structure and connectivity between breeding populations are examined across the region, and are complemented by an assessment of genetic structure on shared feeding areas for these populations in the Southern Ocean.
      	Collectively, these studies demonstrate that a hierarchy of behavioral processes operating at different spatial scales is likely influencing patterns of genetic population structure in highly migratory baleen whales. Notably, for humpback whales, the widely assumed model of maternal fidelity to feeding areas and natal philopatry to breeding areas was found not to be applicable at all spatial scales.  From an applied perspective, the complex population patterns observed are not currently accounted for in current management designation and recommendations for applying these findings to the management and protection of these species are presented.
      	As these empirical studies highlight the importance of behavior as a potential mechanism for shaping the genetic structure of species, the final chapter offers a research prospectus describing how behavioral and genetic data may be integrated using new individual-based modeling techniques to integrate data and information from the fields of behavioral ecology and population genetics.

description: We study a solution of Einstein's equations that describes a straight cosmic string with a variable angular deficit, starting with a $2 π$ deficit at the core. We show that the coordinate singularity associated to this defect can be interpreted as a traversible wormhole lodging at the the core of the string. A negative energy density gradually decreases the angular deficit as the distance from the core increases, ending, at radial infinity, in a Minkowski spacetime. The negative energy density can be confined to a small transversal section of the string by gluing to it an exterior Gott's like solution, that freezes the angular deficit existing at the matching border. The equation of state of the string is such that any massive particle may stay at rest anywhere in this spacetime. In this sense this is 2+1 spacetime solution.

description: In the last decade, tremendous advances have been made in the effort to understand mind wandering, yet many questions remain unanswered. Chief among them is how mind wandering relates to learning. Insofar as mind wandering has been linked to poor learning, finding ways to reduce the propensity to mind wander could potentially improve learning. Two experiments were conducted to examine this. The first experiment evaluated how difficulty of the to-be-learned materials affected one’s tendency to mind wander and revealed that people mind wandered when there was a mismatch between their level of expertise and the difficulty of materials studied. The second experiment compared whether participants were more likely to mind wander in blocked or interleaved conditions and showed that participants were more likely to mind wander when materials were presented in a blocked fashion. Together, these results indicate that techniques such as studying materials specific to one’s own level of mastery or changing the way in which one studies might reduce mind wandering and improve learning.
      Of equal importance is the question of what happens on in the brain when a person mind wanders. While the effect of mind wandering on early sensory processing is known, the impact it has on learning-related processing is not. In two event-related potential (ERP) experiments, participants were asked to report whether they were mind wandering or not while studying materials they were later tested on. Analyses revealed that elaborative semantic processing – indexed by a late, sustained slow wave that was maximal at posterior parietal electrode sites – was attenuated when participants mind wandered. Crucially, the pattern when people were on task rather than mind wandering was similar to the subsequent memory effect previously reported by other memory researchers, suggesting that mind wandering disrupts the deep level of processing required for learning.

description: A brain-computer interface (BCI) based on the motor imagery (MI) paradigm translates one's motor intention into a control signal by classifying the Electroencephalogram (EEG) signal of different tasks. However, most existing systems either (i) use a high-quality algorithm to train the data off-line and run only classification in real-time, since the off-line algorithm is too slow, or (ii) use low-quality heuristics that are sufficiently fast for real-time training but introduces relatively large classification error. In this work, we propose a novel processing pipeline that allows real-time and parallel learning of EEG signals using high-quality but possibly inefficient algorithms. This is done by forging a link between BCI and core-sets, a technique that originated in computational geometry for handling streaming data via data summarization. We suggest an algorithm that maintains the representation such coreset tailored to handle the EEG signal which enables: (i) real time and continuous computation of the Common Spatial Pattern (CSP) feature extraction method on a coreset representation of the signal (instead on the signal itself) , (ii) improvement of the CSP algorithm efficiency with provable guarantees by applying CSP algorithm on the coreset, and (iii) real time addition of the data trials (EEG data windows) to the coreset. For simplicity, we focus on the CSP algorithm, which is a classic algorithm. Nevertheless, we expect that our coreset will be extended to other algorithms in future papers. In the experimental results we show that our system can indeed learn EEG signals in real-time for example a 64 channels setup with hundreds of time samples per second. Full open source is provided to reproduce the experiment and in the hope that it will be used and extended to more coresets and BCI applications in the future.

description: We consider Dirichlet Laplacians on straight strips in R^2 or layers in R^3 with a weak local deformation. First we generalize a result of Bulla et al. to the three-dimensional situation showing that weakly coupled bound states exist if the volume change induced by the deformation is positive; we also derive the leading order of the weak-coupling asymptotics. With the knowledge of the eigenvalue analytic properties, we demonstrate then an alternative method which makes it possible to evaluate the next term in the asymptotic expansion for both the strips and layers. It gives, in particular, a criterion for the bound-state existence in the critical case when the added volume is zero.

description: In recent years, there have been many practical applications of anomaly detection such as in predictive maintenance, detection of credit fraud, network intrusion, and system failure. The goal of anomaly detection is to identify in the test data anomalous behaviors that are either rare or unseen in the training data. This is a common goal in predictive maintenance, which aims to forecast the imminent faults of an appliance given abundant samples of normal behaviors. Local outlier factor (LOF) is one of the state-of-the-art models used for anomaly detection, but the predictive performance of LOF depends greatly on the selection of hyperparameters. In this paper, we propose a novel, heuristic methodology to tune the hyperparameters in LOF. A tuned LOF model that uses the proposed method shows good predictive performance in both simulations and real data sets.

The Role Of Wage Structure As Implicit Insurance On Human Capital In Developed Versus Underdeveloped Countries
Creators: name: Ljungqvist, Lars
name: Ljungqvist, Lars
Publisher: name: Unknown
Year: 1992
Subjects: Research Methods/ Statistical Methods

description: This paper explores the role of wage structure as implicit insurance on human capital. It is shown that smaller wage differentials in the developed world can be welfare-enhancing by providing implicit insurance while larger wage differentials in underdeveloped countries make investments in human capital riskier. In other words, the students in a developed country are insured against poor educational outcomes through the existence of well-paid alternative employments which are not present in the economy of a less developed country. These results arise in a general equilibrium model when there are no insurance markets for human capital.

description: The gravitational interaction of an infinitely long cosmic string with a Schwarzschild black hole is studied. We consider a straight string that is initially at a great distance and moving at some initial velocity v (0 < v < c) towards the black hole. The equations of motion of the string are solved numerically to obtain the dependence of the capture impact parameter on the initial velocity.

Gravitational Instabilities and Censorship of Large Scalar Field Excursions

description: Large, localized variations of light scalar fields tend to collapse into black holes, dynamically "censoring" distant points in field space. We show that in some cases, large scalar excursions in asymptotically flat spacetimes can be UV-completed by smooth Kaluza-Klein bubble geometries, appearing to circumvent 4d censorship arguments. However, these spacetimes also exhibit classical instabilities related to the collapse or expansion of a bubble of nothing, providing a different censorship mechanism. We show that the Kerr family of static KK bubbles, which gives rise to an infinite scalar excursion upon dimensional reduction, is classically unstable. We construct a family of initial data in which the static bubbles sit at a local maximum of the energy, and we give a general argument that such a property indeed indicates mechanical instability in gravity. We also discuss the behavior of wound strings near a bubble, a local probe of the large traversal through moduli space.

Suppression of decoherence via strong intra-environmental coupling

description: We examine the effects of intra-environmental coupling on decoherence by constructing a low temperature spin--spin-bath model of an atomic impurity in a Debye crystal. The impurity interacts with phonons of the crystal through anti-ferromagnetic spin-spin interactions. The reduced density matrix of the central spin representing the impurity is calculated by dynamically integrating the full Schroedinger equation for the spin--spin-bath model for different thermally weighted eigenstates of the spin-bath. Exact numerical results show that increasing the intra-environmental coupling results in suppression of decoherence. This effect could play an important role in the construction of solid state quantum devices such as quantum computers.

Smooth-filamental transition of active tracer fields stirred by chaotic advection

description: The spatial distribution of interacting chemical fields is investigated in the non-diffusive limit. The evolution of fluid parcels is described by independent dynamical systems driven by chaotic advection. The distribution can be filamental or smooth depending on the relative strength of the dispersion due to chaotic advection and the stability of the chemical dynamics. We give the condition for the smooth-filamental transition and relate the Hölder exponent of the filamental structure to the Lyapunov exponents. Theoretical findings are illustrated by numerical experiments.

Floer homology and its continuity for non-compact Lagrangian submanifolds

description: We give a construction of the Floer homology of the pair of {\it non-compact} Lagrangian submanifolds, which satisfies natural continuity property under the Hamiltonian isotopy which moves the infinity but leaves the intersection set of the pair compact. This construction uses the concept of Lagrangian cobordism and certain singular Lagrangian submanifolds. We apply this construction to conormal bundles (or varieties) in the cotangent bundle, and relate it to a conjecture made by MacPherson on the intersection theory of the characteristic Lagrangian cycles associated to the perverse sheaves constructible to a complex stratification on the complex algebraic manifold.
