Presumption and Despair: The figure of Bernard in Middle English imaginative literature

Imagination in literature

description: This dissertation pursues two distinct but parallel projects in relation to the work of Bernard of Clairvaux and Middle English imaginative literature. First, I argue for a Bernardine anagogical lens as a way to better understand the deepest theological commitments and most distinctive formal innovations of certain key Middle English literary texts, especially Piers Plowman and The Canterbury Tales. Second, I outline a more genealogical project, tracing the figure of Bernard as it is explicitly invoked in widely circulated Middle English works including Piers, The Parson’s Tale, and the Prick of Conscience. These two threads connect to suggest that the work of Bernard of Clairvaux can offer a new way to understand the relationship between theological and literary texts in the late Middle Ages. Because Bernard’s influence in the vernacular is as much as matter of style as of content, it requires a more capacious way of theorizing the theological implications and even motivations of literary form. The “figure of Bernard” acts as a cipher for later works to explore their deepest intellectual preoccupations, and makes it possible to trace the way they imagine the anagogical interval between the presence and absence of Christ, the over- and under-estimation of the presence of eternity in time. The Bernardine themes of “presumption” and “despair” serve as a useful shorthand for signaling this theorization, and help me to extend its application beyond texts in which Bernard is explicitly invoked—including to writers, like Chaucer and Thomas Malory, whose work is often assumed to be firmly secular.

description: We define a new parameter `cumulative drag index' for a particle in circular orbit in a stationary, axisymmetric gravitational field and study its behaviour in the two well known solutions of general relativity {\it viz.}, the Kerr spacetime and the Gödel spacetime, wherein the inertial frame dragging has an important role. As it shows similar behaviour for both co and counter rotating particles, it may indeed be an indication of the influence of the faraway universe on local physics and thus Machian.

description: The historical Lorado mill tailings site deposited uranium tailings within and adjacent to nearby Nero Lake. The remediation plans called for a capillary break tailings cover with in-lake water treatment to reduce radiation exposure from the tailings, limit tailings dust inhalation and acid generation, prevent efflorescent salts formation, and block tailings pore fluid uptake from vegetation. Detailed designs, including water and load balances were developed to establish appropriate in-lake water treatment design criteria and to set measurable load reduction targets for the cover efficiency. A borrow source investigation was carried out to confirm whether appropriate volumes of suitable cover materials were available for the proposed design. These studies showed original remediation plan assumptions were no longer valid. This paper will describe the engineering process that was followed to evaluate and ultimately adopt appropriate design criteria to ensure that realistic, site-wide closure objectives could be met. The authors will emphasize the importance of linking design criteria to measurable and achievable performance criteria that can be properly evaluated over the intended life of the design.

description: We start from a six-band model describing the transition-metal t2g orbitals of half-metallic double perovskite systems, such as Sr2FeMoO6, in which only one of the transition metal ions (Fe) contains important intratomic repulsion Ufe. By eliminating the Mo orbitals using a low-energy reduction similar to that used in the cuprates, we construct a Hamiltonian which contains only effective t2g Fe orbitals. This allows to treat exactly Ufe, and most of the Fe-Mo hopping. As an application, we treat the effective Hamiltonian in the slave-boson mean-field approximation and calculate the position of the metal-insulator transition and other quantities as a function of pressure or on-site energy difference.

description: Some superstring theories have more than one effective low-energy limit, corresponding to classical spacetimes with different dimensionalities. We argue that all but the 3+1-dimensional one might correspond to ``dead worlds'', devoid of observers, in which case all such ensemble theories would actually predict that we should find ourselves inhabiting a 3+1-dimensional spacetime. With more or less than one time-dimension, the partial differential equations of nature would lack the hyperbolicity property that enables observers to make predictions. In a space with more than three dimensions, there can be no traditional atoms and perhaps no stable structures. A space with less than three dimensions allows no gravitational force and may be too simple and barren to contain observers.

Reliability and Validity of a Locally Designed Rating Scale: The Case of a Czech Business College
Creators: name: Young, Katerina
Publisher: name: University of Leicester
Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Many English language practitioners around the world do not possess expertise in language assessment and resort to an easy solution of “adopting/adapting” existing, standardized instruments published by testing organizations. These tools are limited in their transferability to other settings because they may not fit the local purpose, student population, or teacher experience and lead to unfair decisions about individuals. This study offers a solution in form of a locally designed rating scale for the specific purpose of professional email writing in an EFL business college context in the Czech Republic. It compares the local scale’s validity and reliability with a standardized, Cambridge Assessment scale quantitatively through a multi-faceted Rasch analysis and qualitatively through concurrent and retrospective verbal protocols. The study also explores the effect of teacher involvement and background on scoring and construct validity. The findings indicate that this locally developed scale is equivalent to the standardized scale in measuring students’ writing ability with the advantage of its increased construct validity due to its greater comprehensibility and locally derived content. Additionally, teacher involvement in the scale design does not increase scoring validity, but teacher background variables such as nationality/country of education, other professional work experience, and other scale training seem to impact it. Furthermore, the teachers’ collaboration on the scale design, which raises their assessment literacy, and the awareness of their own background influence the content of the local scale become aspects of situationally specific, construct validity. The study contributes to the field of language testing with detailed documentation of a local scale design for classroom achievement purposes. It encourages local educators and global testing agencies to increase the construct validity of their assessment tools by making them environmentally authentic and to foster fair assessment practices in various linguistically and culturally different assessment contexts.
Axion Dark Matter Detection with CMB Polarization

description: We point out two ways to search for low-mass axion dark matter using cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization measurements. These appear, in particular, to be some of the most promising ways to directly detect fuzzy dark matter. Axion dark matter causes rotation of the polarization of light passing through it. This gives rise to two novel phenomena in the CMB. First, the late-time oscillations of the axion field today cause the CMB polarization to oscillate in phase across the entire sky. Second, the early-time oscillations of the axion field wash out the polarization produced at last-scattering, reducing the polarized fraction (TE and EE power spectra) compared to the standard prediction. Since the axion field is oscillating, the common (static) `cosmic birefringence' search is not appropriate for axion dark matter. These two phenomena can be used to search for axion dark matter at the lighter end of the mass range, with a reach several orders of magnitude beyond current constraints. We set a limit from the washout effect using existing Planck results, and find significant future discovery potential for CMB detectors searching in particular for the oscillating effect.

description: To investigate novel aspects of pattern formation in spin systems, we use a mapping between reactive concentrations in a reaction-diffusion system and spin orientations in a dynamic multiple-spin Ising model. While pattern formation in Ising models always rely on infinite-range interactions, this mapping allows us to design an finite-range interactions Ising model that can produce patterns observed in reaction diffusion systems including Turing patterns with a tunable typical length scale. This model has asymmetric interactions and several spin types coexisting at a site. While we use the example of genetic regulation during embryo-genesis to build our model, it can be used to study the behavior of other complex systems of interacting agents.

Price competition and the impact of service attributes: Structural estimation and analytical characterizations of equilibrium behavior

Publisher: name: Columbia University

Subjects: Operations research

description: This dissertation addresses a number of outstanding, fundamental questions in operations management and industrial organization literature. Operations management literature has a long history of studying the competitive impact of operational, firm-level strategic decisions within oligopoly markets. The first essay reports on an empirical study of an important industry, the drive-thru fast-food industry. We estimate a competition model, derived from an underlying Mixed MultiNomial Logit (MNML) consumer choice model, using detailed empirical data. The main goal is to measure to what extent waiting time performance, along with price levels, brand attributes, geographical and demographic factors, impacts competing firms' market shares. The primary goal of our second essay is to characterize the equilibrium behavior of price competition models with Mixed Multinomial Logit (MMNL) demand functions under affine cost structures. In spite of the huge popularity of MMNL models in both the theoretical and empirical literature, it is not known, in general, whether a Nash equilibrium (in pure strategies) of prices exists, and whether the equilibria can be uniquely characterized as the solutions to the system of First Order Condition (FOC) equations. The third essay, which is the most general in its context, we establish that in the absence of cost efficiencies resulting from a merger, aggregate profits of the merging firms increase as do equilibrium prices for general price competition models with general nonlinear demand and cost functions as long as the models are supermodular, with two additional structural conditions: (i) each firm's profit function is strictly quasi-concave in its own price(s), and (ii) markets are competitive, i.e., in the pre-merger industry, each firm's profits increase when any of his competitors increases his price, unilaterally. Even the equilibrium profits of the remaining firms in the industry increase, while the consumer ends up holding the bag, i.e., consumer welfare declines. As demonstrated by this essay, the answers to these sorts of strategy questions have implications not only for the firms and customers but also the policy makers policing these markets.

description: Ramanujan (and others) proved that the partition function satisfies a number of striking congruences modulo powers of 5, 7 and 11. A number of further congruences were shown by the works of Atkin, O'Brien, and Newman. In this paper we prove that there are infinitely many such congruences for every prime modulus exceeding 3. In addition, we provide a simple criterion guaranteeing the truth of Newman's conjecture for any prime modulus exceeding 3 (recall that Newman's conjecture asserts that the partition function hits every residue class modulo a given integer M infinitely often).

description: This thesis makes new observations of market phenomena for various commodities and trading strategies centered around these observations. In particular, our results imply that many aspects of the commodities markets, from delivery markets to producers and consumer derivative based ETFs can be modeled eectively using nancial engineering techniques.
      Chapter 2 examines what drives the returns of gold miner stocks and ETFs. Inspired by our real options model, we construct a method to dynamically replicate gold miner stocks using two factors: a spot gold ETF and a market equity portfolio. We find that our real options approach can explain a significant portion of the drivers of firm implied gold leverage.
      Chapter 3 studies commodity exchange-traded funds (ETFs). From empirical data, we find that many commodity leveraged ETFs underperform significantly against our constructed dynamic benchmark, and we quantify such a discrepancy via the novel idea of
      realized effective fee. Finally, we consider a number of trading strategies and examine their performance by backtesting with historical price data.
      Chapter 4 studies the phenomenon of non-convergence between futures and spot prices in the grains market. In our proposed approach, we incorporate stochastic spot price and storage cost, and solve an optimal double stopping problem to understand shipping certificate prices. Our new models for stochastic storage rates explain the spot-futures premium.

description: We investigate the lateral transport of excitons in ZnSe quantum wells by using time-resolved micro-photoluminescence enhanced by the introduction of a solid immersion lens. The spatial and temporal resolutions are 200 nm and 5 ps, respectively. Strong deviation from classical diffusion is observed up to 400 ps. This feature is attributed to the hot-exciton effects, consistent with previous experiments under cw excitation. The coupled transport-relaxation process of hot excitons is modelled by Monte Carlo simulation. We prove that two basic assumptions typically accepted in photoluminescence investigations on excitonic transport, namely (i) the classical diffusion model as well as (ii) the equivalence between the temporal and spatial evolution of the exciton population and of the measured photoluminescence, are not valid for low-temperature experiments.

description: With the deluge of big data, many retailers are experimenting with rich, data-driven pricing strategies. In this dissertation we study three emerging pricing strategies: (i) Opaque pricing, the pricing of products where some feature is hidden from the customer until after purchase. In a general model we give a sharp characterization for when opaque selling outperforms traditional forms of differentiated pricing. (ii) Personalized pricing, i.e. pricing strategies that predict an individual customer's valuation for a product and then offers them a customized price. Leveraging natural statistics of the valuation distribution, we prove tight upper and lowers on the ratio between personalized pricing strategies and simpler selling strategies, which, among other things, yields insight into which markets personalized pricing is most valuable. (iii) Loot box pricing, the pricing of (random) bundles of virtual items, the contents of which are revealed after purchase. In an asymptotic regime we compare and contrast the revenue of different forms of loot box pricing with traditional selling models, and give theory to explain the recent proliferation of loot boxes in mobile gaming markets.

description: This thesis studies three game theoretic models of pricing, in which a seller is interested in optimally pricing and allocating her product or service to a market of agents, in order to maximize her revenue. These markets feature a large number of self-interested agents, who are generally heterogeneous with respect to some payoff relevant feature, e.g., willingness to pay when agents are consumers or private cost when agents are firms. Agents strategically interact with one another, and their actions affect other agents' payoffs, either directly through social influence or competition, or indirectly through a review system. The seller has demand uncertainty and strives to optimize expected discounted revenues. I use either a mean-field approximation or a continuum of agents assumption to reduce the complexity of the problems and provide crisp characterizations of system aggregates and equilibrium policies.
      Chapter 2 considers the problem of an information provider who sells information products, such as demand forecasts, to a market of firms that compete with one another in a downstream market. We propose a general model that subsumes both price and quantity competition as special cases. We characterize the optimal selling strategy and find that it depends on both mode and intensity of competition. Several important extensions to heterogeneous production costs, information quality discrimination, and information leakage through aggregate actions are studied.
      Chapter 3 considers the problem of optimally extracting a stream of revenues from a sequence of consumers, who have heterogeneous willingness to pay and uncertainty about the quality of the product being sold. Using an intuitive maximum likelihood procedure, we characterize the solution of consumers' quality estimation problem. Then, we use a mean-field approximation to characterize the transient dynamics of quality estimates and demand. These allow us to simplify and solve the monopolist's problem, and ultimately provide a characterization of her optimal pricing policy.
      Chapter 4 considers the problem of a seller who is interested in dynamically pricing her product when consumers' utility is influenced by the mass of consumers that have purchased in the past. Two scenarios are studied, one in which the monopolist has commitment power and one in which she does not. We characterize the optimal selling strategy under both scenarios and derive comparisons on equilibrium prices and demands. Our main result is a characterization of the value of price commitment as a function of the social influence level in the market.

In order for the stress-energy of quantized fields to be regular on the event horizon in both the extreme string metric and the conformally associated physical metric, it is necessary to assign a nonzero temperature, T = (8 pi e^{phi_0} M)^{-1}, to the extreme string metric, contrary to the expectation that this horizonless spacetime would have a natural temperature of zero.

description: Cold gas experiments can be tuned to achieve strongly-interacting regimes such as that of low-density neutron matter found in neutron-stars' crusts. We report $T$=0 diffusion Monte Carlo results (i) for the ground state of both spin-1/2 fermions with short-range interactions and low-density neutron matter in a cylindrical container, and (ii) properties of these systems with a vortex line excitation. We calculate the equation of state for cold atoms and low-density neutron matter in the bulk systems, and we contrast it to our results in the cylindrical container. We compute the vortex line excitation energy for different interaction strengths, and we find agreement between cold gases and neutron matter for very low densities. We also calculate density profiles, which allow us to determine the density depletion at the vortex core, which depends strongly on the short-ranged interaction in cold atomic gases, but it is of $\approx$ 25% for neutron matter in the density regimes studied in this work. Our results can be used to constrain neutron matter properties by using measurements from cold Fermi gases experiments.

While collecting such data from real robots is possible, such an approach limits the scalability as learning policies typically requires thousands of trials. In this work we attempt to learn manipulation policies in simulated environments. Simulators enable scalability and provide access to the underlying world state during training. Policies learned in simulators, however, do not transfer well to real scenes given the domain gap between real and synthetic data. We follow recent work on domain randomization and augment synthetic images with sequences of random transformations. Our main contribution is to optimize the augmentation strategy for sim2real transfer and to enable domain-independent policy learning. We design an efficient search for depth image augmentations using object localization as a proxy task. Given the resulting sequence of random transformations, we use it to augment synthetic depth images during policy learning. Our augmentation strategy is policy-independent and enables policy learning with no real images. We demonstrate our approach to significantly improve accuracy on three manipulation tasks evaluated on a real robot.

description: Some aspects of the geometry and the dynamics of generalized Chaplygin systems are investigated. First, two different but complementary approaches to the construction of the reduced dynamics are reviewed: a symplectic approach and an approach based on the theory of affine connections. Both are mutually compared and further completed. Next, a necessary and sufficient condition is derived for the existence of an invariant measure for the reduced dynamics of generalized Chaplygin systems of mechanical type. A simple example is then constructed of a generalized Chaplygin system which does not verify this condition, thereby answering in the negative a question raised by Koiller.

description: We analyze the spectrum of time observable in noncommutative cosmological model introduced in [5], defined by $(ρ, s=\frac 12)\,$ representation of the de Sitter group. We find that time has peculiar property: it is not self-adjoint, but appropriate restrictions to the space of physical states give self-adjoint extensions. Extensions have discrete spectrum with logarithmic distribution of eigenvalues, $\,t_n \sim \ell\, \log\, n$+const, where $\ell$ characterizes noncommutativity and the usual assumption is $\,\ell=\ell_{Planck}$. When calculated on physical states, radius of the universe is bounded below by $\, \ell\, \sqrt{\frac 34\, \left( \frac 14 +ρ^2\right)}\, $, which resolves the big bang singularity. An immediate consequence of the model is a specific breaking of the original symmetry at the Planck scale.

description: PCA result representation of external TNBC and non-TNBC data. PCA is computed based on the TNBC data and the values of the two first principal components (PC1 and PC2) are then predicted for the non-TNBC data. All patients are then projected onto the plane generated by PC1 and PC2. Ellipses represent the 95% confidence of belonging to the clusters data (C’1, n = 61 [blue]; C’2, n = 97 [red] and C’3, n = 99 [green]). External non-TNBC data (n = 894) are figured by black points.

description: By monitoring changes in excitonic photoluminescence (PL) that are induced by terahertz (THz) radiation, we observe resonant THz absorption by magnetoexcitons in GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells. Changes in the PL spectrum are explored as a function of temperature and magnetic field, providing insight into the mechanisms which allow THz absorption to modulate PL. The strongest PL-quenching occurs at the heavy hole $1s\to 2p^+$ resonance where heavy hole excitons are photo-thermally converted into light hole excitons.

description: We extend the Parton-Hadron-String Dynamics (PHSD) transport approach in the partonic sector by explicitly calculating the total and differential partonic scattering cross sections as a function of temperature $T$ and baryon chemical potential $μ_B$ on the basis of the effective propagators and couplings from the Dynamical QuasiParticle Model (DQPM) that is matched to reproduce the equation of state of the partonic system above the deconfinement temperature $T_c$ from lattice QCD. The ratio of shear viscosity $η$ over entropy density $s$, i.e. $η/s$, is evaluated using the collisional widths and compared to lQCD calculations for $μ_B$ = 0 as well. We find only a very modest change of $η/s$ with the baryon chemical $μ_B$. This also holds for a variety of hadronic observables from central A+A and C+Au collisions in the energy range 5 GeV $\leq \sqrt{s_{NN}} \leq$ 200 GeV when implementing the differential cross sections into the PHSD approach. We only observe small differences in the strangeness and antibaryon sector with practically no sensitivity of rapidity and $p_T$ distributions to the $μ_B$ dependence of the partonic cross sections. Since we find only small traces of a $μ_B$-dependence in heavy-ion observables - although the effective partonic masses and widths as well as their partonic cross sections clearly depend on $μ_B$ - this implies that one needs a sizable partonic density and large space-time QGP volume to explore the dynamics in the partonic phase. These conditions are only fulfilled at high bombarding energies where $μ_B$ is, however, rather low. On the other hand, when decreasing the bombarding energy and thus increasing $μ_B$, the hadronic phase becomes dominant and accordingly, it will be difficult to extract signals from the partonic dynamics based on "bulk" observables.

description: The most widely recognized definition of bioeconomy was proposed in the Global Bioeconomy Summit 2018 framework: “bioeconomy is the production, utilization and conservation of biological resources, including related knowledge, science, technology, and innovation, to provide information, products, processes and services across all economic sectors aiming toward a sustainable economy”. Bioeconomy policy frameworks and devel-opment approaches make use of materials and energy found in biodiversity, biomass, and genetic resources. The knowledge generated about biological principles and processes can be replicated in new product designs. New developments in the biological sciences allow countries to address the many challenges society is facing. This brief has summarized the many opportunities the biological sciences have to offer. The translation of these opportunities into practice will not be trivial. There are a number of institutional factors that delay or even prevent full exploitation of the opportunities the bioeconomy has on offer.
