CONTRIBUTION OF MORPHOLOGICAL AWARENESS TO WORD SEGMENTATION AMONG ADULT L2 CHINESE SPEAKERS
Creators: name: Li, Jiefang
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: The current study aims to investigate the causal correlation between Chinese morphological awareness and word segmentation among intermediate adult speakers who learn Chinese as their second language (L2). In particular, we intend to determine the role of a potential mediator, vocabulary knowledge in this relationship. A total of 45 intermediate adult L2 Chinese speakers participated in the experiment and finished three separate tasks on Chinese morphological awareness, Chinese word segmentation, and vocabulary size. The logistic regression on the results of Chinese morphological awareness task fails to prove that the L2 Chinese speakers are sensitive to the degree of compositionally of Chinese compounds. Multi-linear regressions were conducted to test the mediation effects, and the results demonstrate that: (1) Chinese morphological awareness didn’t directly predict participants performance in word segmentation; (2) Chinese morphological awareness didn’t indirectly exert a strong effect on word segmentation via vocabulary knowledge. Although the current study didn’t find evidence to verify the relationship between morphological awareness and word segmentation nor the mediation effects of vocabulary knowledge, it establishes a foundation for future research design and implementation.
title: Analysis of three body decays in quasi-real photoproduction
Creators: name: Wishart, Robert
Publisher: name: University of Glasgow
Year: 2023

description: This thesis presents preliminary measurements of the moments of angular distribution for the K∗K + mesonic final state using a quasi-real, linearly polarised photon. Two of the main points of focus for this analysis were the development of the formalism for photoproduced vector-pseudoscalar decay and the tools by which the analysis was carried out. The formalism described how the moments of angular distribution could be extracted from the angular decay variables, and how they related to resonance decays in terms of partial waves. In extracting the moments, it was found that adapted Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods proved to be more effective in terms of extracting results from the data compared to the sole use of gradient descent based fitting algorithms. These measurements are complementary to other decay channels and production mechanisms, with the global aim of probing the existence of exotic mesons. Data from this analysis was taken by the CLAS collaboration at the Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility (JLab) by scattering from a liquid hydrogen target using a 10.6 GeV electron. This work was done within the MesonEx program at CLAS12 that aims to map the spectrum of mesons, and in doing so, gain a greater understanding of Quantum ChromoDynamics (QCD) and the strong force.

description: We explore the linear stability of astrophysical discs exhibiting vertical shear, which arises when there is a radial variation in the temperature or entropy. Such discs are subject to a "vertical-shear instability", which recent nonlinear simulations have shown to drive hydrodynamic activity in the MRI-stable regions of protoplanetary discs. We first revisit locally isothermal discs using the quasi-global reduced model derived by Nelson et al. (2013). This analysis is then extended to global axisymmetric perturbations in a cylindrical domain. We also derive and study a reduced model describing discs with power law radial entropy profiles ("locally polytropic discs"), which are somewhat more realistic in that they possess physical (as opposed to numerical) surfaces. In all cases the fastest growing modes have very short wavelengths and are localised at the disc surfaces (if present), where the vertical shear is maximal. An additional class of modestly growing vertically global body modes is excited, corresponding to destabilised classical inertial waves ("r-modes"). We discuss the properties of both types of modes, and stress that those that grow fastest occur on the shortest available length scales (determined either by the numerical grid or the physical viscous length). This ill-posedness makes simulations of the instability difficult to interpret. We end with some brief speculation on the nonlinear saturation and resulting angular momentum transport.

Exploring multimodal data fusion through joint decompositions with flexible couplings

description: A Bayesian framework is proposed to define flexible coupling models for joint tensor decompositions of multiple data sets. Under this framework, a natural formulation of the data fusion problem is to cast it in terms of a joint maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimator. Data driven scenarios of joint posterior distributions are provided, including general Gaussian priors and non Gaussian coupling priors. We present and discuss implementation issues of algorithms used to obtain the joint MAP estimator. We also show how this framework can be adapted to tackle the problem of joint decompositions of large datasets. In the case of a conditional Gaussian coupling with a linear transformation, we give theoretical bounds on the data fusion performance using the Bayesian Cramer-Rao bound. Simulations are reported for hybrid coupling models ranging from simple additive Gaussian models, to Gamma-type models with positive variables and to the coupling of data sets which are inherently of different size due to different resolution of the measurement devices.

description: In this paper, we estimate the X-ray emission from close-in exoplanets. We show that the Solar/Stellar Wind Charge Exchange Mechanism (SWCX) which produces soft X-ray emission is very effective for hot Jupiters. In this mechanism, X-ray photons are emitted as a result of the charge exchange between heavy ions in the solar wind and the atmospheric neutral particles. In the Solar System, comets produce X-rays mostly through the SWCX mechanism, but it has also been shown to operate in the heliosphere, in the terrestrial magnetosheath, and on Mars, Venus and Moon. Since the number of emitted photons is proportional to the solar wind mass flux, this mechanism is not very effective for the Solar system giants. Here we present a simple estimate of the X-ray emission intensity that can be produced by close-in extrasolar giant planets due to charge exchange with the heavy ions of the stellar wind. Using the example of HD~209458b, we show that this mechanism alone can be responsible for an X-ray emission of $\approx 10^{22}$~erg~s$^{-1}$, which is $10^6$ times stronger than the emission from the Jovian aurora. We discuss also the possibility to observe the predicted soft X-ray flux of hot Jupiters and show that despite high emission intensities they are unobservable with current facilities.

description: The main background above 3\,MeV for in-beam nuclear astrophysics studies with $γ$-ray detectors is caused by cosmic-ray induced secondaries. The two commonly used suppression methods, active and passive shielding, against this kind of background were formerly considered only as alternatives in nuclear astrophysics experiments. In this work the study of the effects of active shielding against cosmic-ray induced events at a medium deep location is performed. Background spectra were recorded with two actively shielded HPGe detectors. The experiment was located at 148\,m below the surface of the Earth in the Reiche Zeche mine in Freiberg, Germany. The results are compared to data with the same detectors at the Earth's surface, and at depths of 45\,m and 1400\,m, respectively.

Environmental Peacebuilding in the African Great Lakes Region: Assessing Transboundary Civil Society Actor Claims at Democratic Legitimacy
Creators: name: Lunsford, Natalya Brooke
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Tensions over natural resources in the African Great Lakes region spawned an environmental peacebuilding pilot project funded by the European Union and United Nations with the goal of building civil society’s capacity to facilitate conflict resolution and promote natural resource governance. Because of civil society’s position on the ground, its ability to increase representation of local interests in decision-making processes is debated. Proper representation can promote democratically legitimate governance that may have implications on peace and development. This thesis seeks to answer how two civil society organizations apart of this environmental peacebuilding initiative, Rwanda Initiative for Sustainable Development and Ecological Christian Organization, make claims at democratic legitimacy. Based on my findings, I argue through the ways in which they strive to increase inclusivity, provide control mechanisms, and promote discursive balance they contribute to democratic legitimacy.

description: The charge and spin patterns of a quantum dot embedded into a spin-orbit coupled quantum wire subject to a magnetic field are investigated. A Luttinger liquid theory is developed, taking into account open boundaries and finite magnetic field. In the quasi-helical regime, when spin-orbit effects dominate over the Zeeman interaction, peculiar states develop at the Fermi surface of the dot. Anomalous Friedel oscillations with twice the expected wavelength develop in the wavefunction of collective excitations of such states, accompanied by peculiar spin patterns in their magnetization. Both effects are analyzed in detail and shown possible to be probed in transport experiments. The stability against electron interactions and magnetic field is investigated. We also discuss how signatures of such states survive in the total charge and spin densities.

Party Differences in Response to Interest Group Signals
Creators: name: Love, Alexander
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2021

description: Interest groups often seek to influence the progression of bills through Congress by calling on legislators to support a bill by becoming a cosponsor. Groups rarely do this alone. Rather, a chorus of interest groups calls for cosponsors. Legislators can use this coalition as a heuristic for if supporting a bill is electorally advantageous. I examine the effectiveness of interest group position taking through the lens of partisan differences in the interest group environment. I find that Democrats face both a higher number of signals and fewer "repeat players" and that they are less likely to cosponsor as a result of an ideologically diverse coalition. This suggests that Democrats use interest group signals less readily than Republicans and are more sensitive to changes in the makeup of an interest group coalition.

description: Using an approach due to Bowen, Franco showed that continuous expansive flows with specification have unique equilibrium states for potentials with the Bowen property. We show that this conclusion remains true using weaker non-uniform versions of specification, expansivity, and the Bowen property. We also establish a corresponding result for homeomorphisms. In the homeomorphism case, we obtain the upper bound from the level-2 large deviations principle for the unique equilibrium state. The theory presented in this paper provides the basis for an ongoing program to develop the thermodynamic formalism in partially hyperbolic and non-uniformly hyperbolic settings.

description: Computer animation in the past decade has become one of the most noticeable features of technology-based learning environments. With today's high educational demands as well as the lack of time provided for certain courses, classical educational methods have shown deficiencies in keeping up with the drastic changes observed in the digital era. Without taking into account various significant factors such as gender, age, level of interest and memory level, educational animation may turn out to be insufficient for learners or fail to meet their needs. However, we have noticed that the applications of animation for education have been given only inadequate attention, and students' personality types have never been taken into account. We suggest there is an interesting relationship here, and propose essential factors in creating educational animations based on students' personality types. Particularly, we investigate how information in computer animation may be presented in a preferable way based on the fundamental elements of computer animation. The present study believes that it is likely to have wide benefits in the field of education. Considering the personality types in designing educational computer animations with the aid of gathered empirical results might be a promising avenue to enhance the learning process.

description: The Randles circuit (including a parallel resistor and capacitor in series with another resistor) and its generalised topology have widely been employed in electrochemical energy storage systems such as batteries, fuel cells and supercapacitors, also in biomedical engineering, for example, to model the electrode-tissue interface in electroencephalography and baroreceptor dynamics. This paper studies identifiability of generalised Randles circuit models, that is, whether the model parameters can be estimated uniquely from the input-output data. It is shown that generalised Randles circuit models are structurally locally identifiable. The condition that makes the model structure globally identifiable is then discussed. Finally, the estimation accuracy is evaluated through extensive simulations.

description: A number of computer vision tasks exploit a succinct representation of the visual content in the form of sets of local features. Given an input image, feature extraction algorithms identify a set of keypoints and assign to each of them a description vector, based on the characteristics of the visual content surrounding the interest point. Several tasks might require local features to be extracted from a video sequence, on a frame-by-frame basis. Although temporal downsampling has been proven to be an effective solution for mobile augmented reality and visual search, high temporal resolution is a key requirement for time-critical applications such as object tracking, event recognition, pedestrian detection, surveillance. In recent years, more and more computationally efficient visual feature detectors and decriptors have been proposed. Nonetheless, such approaches are tailored to still images. In this paper we propose a fast keypoint detection algorithm for video sequences, that exploits the temporal coherence of the sequence of keypoints. According to the proposed method, each frame is preprocessed so as to identify the parts of the input frame for which keypoint detection and description need to be performed. Our experiments show that it is possible to achieve a reduction in computational time of up to 40%, without significantly affecting the task accuracy.

description: Objective. Previous research has examined the developmental consequences, particularly in early childhood, of parents’ supportive and unsupportive responses to children’s negative emotions. Much less is known about factors that explain why parents respond in ways that may support or undermine their children’s emotions, and even less is known about how these parenting processes unfold with adolescents. In the present study, researchers examined the associations between mothers’ attachment styles and their distress, harsh, and supportive responses to their adolescents’ negative emotions two years later and whether these links were mediated by maternal emotion regulation difficulties. Design. Mothers in a longitudinal study (n = 230) reported on their attachment style, difficulties regulating their emotions, and their hypothetical responses to their adolescents’ negative emotions, respectively, at consecutive laboratory visits one year apart. Results. Mothers who reported greater attachment-related avoidance and anxiety reported having greater difficulties with emotion regulation one year later. Emotion dysregulation, in turn, predicted more distressed, harsher, and less supportive maternal responses to adolescents’ negative emotions the following year. In addition, greater avoidance directly predicted harsher maternal responses two years later. Conclusions. These findings extend previous research by identifying maternal attachment style as a predictor of responses to adolescent distress and by documenting the underlying role of emotion dysregulation in the link between adult attachment style and parenting.

The Democratic Divide: Factional Differences in Issue Frames within the Democratic Party

description: In 2018, the rise of the progressive faction represented a significant change to the operation of the Democratic coalition. However, we know little about how the new wave of progressive candidates altered issue conflict. Using text analysis of issue statements from over 600 Democratic primary candidates for the House of Representatives in 2018, I show significant differences between how progressive and moderate candidates frame issues. These framing differences manifest in discussion about the economy, the environment, and healthcare, but I find no differences for education and immigration. Progressive candidates are more likely to use issue frames that focus on the systematic elements of policy proposals (e.g.  economic fairness, the role of large corporations, emissions, insurance companies, and pharmaceutical industry).  Moderate candidates tend to focus more on the personal, practical impact of these proposals (e.g. middle- and working-class economic hardships, community preservation, and cost of healthcare). Such differences suggest both evidence of the divergent elite behavior and potential underlying divides in how voters think about political issues within the Democratic Party.

description: We introduce a new representation learning approach for domain adaptation, in which data at training and test time come from similar but different distributions. Our approach is directly inspired by the theory on domain adaptation suggesting that, for effective domain transfer to be achieved, predictions must be made based on features that cannot discriminate between the training (source) and test (target) domains. The approach implements this idea in the context of neural network architectures that are trained on labeled data from the source domain and unlabeled data from the target domain (no labeled target-domain data is necessary). As the training progresses, the approach promotes the emergence of features that are (i) discriminative for the main learning task on the source domain and (ii) indiscriminate with respect to the shift between the domains. We show that this adaptation behaviour can be achieved in almost any feed-forward model by augmenting it with few standard layers and a new gradient reversal layer. The resulting augmented architecture can be trained using standard backpropagation and stochastic gradient descent, and can thus be implemented with little effort using any of the deep learning packages. We demonstrate the success of our approach for two distinct classification problems (document sentiment analysis and image classification), where state-of-the-art domain adaptation performance on standard benchmarks is achieved. We also validate the approach for descriptor learning task in the context of person re-identification application.
