description: Stable matching in a community consisting of men and women is a classical combinatorial problem that has been the subject of intense theoretical and empirical study since its introduction in 1962 in a seminal paper by Gale and Shapley, who designed the celebrated ``deferred acceptance'' algorithm for the problem. In the input, each participant ranks participants of the opposite type, so the input consists of a collection of permutations, representing the preference lists. A bipartite matching is unstable if some man-woman pair is blocking: both strictly prefer each other to their partner in the matching. Stability is an important economics concept in matching markets from the viewpoint of manipulability. The unicity of a stable matching implies non-manipulability, and near-unicity implies limited manipulability, thus these are mathematical properties related to the quality of stable matching algorithms. This paper is a theoretical study of the effect of correlations on approximate manipulability of stable matching algorithms. Our approach is to go beyond worst case, assuming that some of the input preference lists are drawn from a distribution. Our model encompasses a discrete probabilistic process inspired by a popularity model introduced by Immorlica and Mahdian, that provides a way to capture correlation between preference lists. Approximate manipulability is approached from several angles : when all stable partners of a person have approximately the same rank; or when most persons have a unique stable partner. Another quantity of interest is a person's number of stable partners. Our results aim to paint a picture of the manipulability of stable matchings in a ``beyond worst case'' setting.
title: An Examination of Management Competencies in Hospitality Higher Education: An Eastern Culture Context

Subjects: subject: Hospitality

subject: Cultural perspectives in hospitality management

description: The competency-based approach to curriculum design has received much attention, particularly in the context of hospitality higher education. However, in order for the competency-based approach to remain effective in producing graduates with the skills commensurate with current industry needs and with the capability of pursuing career success, management competencies need to be constantly updated. Thus, the need for research in this area is ongoing. However, there are a number of key stakeholders (e.g., educators, industry, early career graduates and students) who need to be considered if a thorough understanding of management competencies is to be gained. While past research has been instrumental in comparing the perspectives of industry and educators, there has been little research that has adopted a truly multi-perspective approach. Furthermore, as culture has a substantial impact on peoples’ beliefs, thinking patterns, preferences and expectations of performance in work environments, it could well be argued that generalising Western competency models in an Eastern cultural context may not be appropriate. However, there has been a tendency to do just that because most of the literature, with this focus, reflects the Western context, with little being known of the Eastern perspective. This being the case, the proposed study addresses both of these gaps, by contributing a multi-perspective approach to management competencies in the context of Eastern hospitality education.

description: This study focuses on the numerical simulation of significant cyclic degradations for reinforced concrete columns. For both accuracy and computational efficiency, the modified Ibarra-Medina-Krawinkler model was adopted for the simulation. The parameters controlling the model were obtained through a novel calibration procedure based on a database containing 183 rectangular columns exhibiting flexural or flexural-shear failure. Regression analyses were employed to develop explicit predictive equations for the calibrated parameters. Further, quasi-static experiments were conducted on three reinforced concrete columns. The applicability and accuracy of the predictive equations were demonstrated by comparison with the experimental results.

description: We examine the spectral properties of three-dimensional quantum billiards with a single pointlike scatterer inside. It is found that the spectrum shows chaotic (random-matrix-like) characteristics when the inverse of the formal strength $\bar{v}^{-1}$ is within a band whose width increases parabolically as a function of the energy. This implies that the spectrum becomes random-matrix-like at very high energy irrespective to the value of the formal strength. The predictions are confirmed by numerical experiments with a rectangular box. The findings for a pointlike scatterer are applied to the case for a small but finite-size impurity. We clarify the proper procedure for its zero-size limit which involves non-trivial divergence. The previously known results in one and two-dimensional quantum billiards with small impurities inside are also reviewed from the present perspective.

description: A defining contribution of systems biology has been to reveal how cellular circuitry works to govern the state of a cell. Often, cell-state is determined by the activity of a small number of hyperconnected transcriptional regulators (TRs; e.g., transcription factors, (de)acetylases, (de)methylases, and other genes that act at the level of DNA to affect transcription). The activity of these TRs can be detected from the transcription of their targets, but doing so requires accurate gene regulatory networks (GRNs). The best way to construct GRNs is by combining computationally inferred networks with experimental perturbation data, but until recently this has not been feasible in human cells. As a first step in that direction, I undertook to perform a large-scale Transcriptional REgulator Knock-down (TREK), at two timepoints, in two cancer cell lines, at single-cell level, and to use the resulting data to improve our ability to infer the regulatory state of the cell. In all, I constructed regulons for over 900 TRs and described the dynamics both over time and across contexts. I have significantly improved our GRNs and, consequently, our ability to measure protein activity and identify cell-state regulators.
Framed, Imprisoned, Overheard: The Gothic Inheritance of Victorian Poetry

description: A lonely damsel's imprisonment within a castle or convent cell; the eavesdropping of a prisoner next door; the framed image of a woman with a mysterious past. These are familiar themes from 1790s gothic novels, which exploded onto the scene with milestone works like Ann Radcliffe's The Mysteries of Udolpho and Matthew Lewis' The Monk. They are also key features, however, of canonical nineteenth-century poems, from Tennyson's "Mariana" to Browning's "My Last Duchess." In this dissertation, I argue that tropes of the gothic novel became disseminated in poetry of the Victorian era, manifesting as formal features that have not heretofore been recognized by scholars as essentially gothic. While most scholars recognize gothic poetry only in a small subset of poems that include ghosts, graveyards or superstition, I contend that gothic tropes became definitive of what we now regard as quintessentially "Victorian" poetic forms: the dramatic monologue, women's sonnets, and Pre-Raphaelite picture poems. "Framed, Imprisoned, Overheard" explores feminist arguments and interdisciplinary crossings between painting and poetry, focusing on both canonical and lesser-known poems of major Victorian poets. Close reading fiction by Ann Radcliffe, Matthew Lewis and Mary Wollstonecraft, and poems by Charlotte Smith, John Keats, William Wordsworth, Robert Browning, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Christina Rossetti, D. G. Rossetti and G. M. Hopkins, I offer a revisionist history that looks beyond the small subset of poems about ghosts or other "gothic" themes, demonstrating how innovations in 1790s sensation fiction contributed to the evolution of major Victorian verse forms.

description: Although anisotropy in spatial correlations of intensity measures (IMs) has been acknowledged, few models specifically address the anisotropy, and consider cross-correlations of IMs. This study introduces anisotropic spatial cross-correlation models for 16 IMs: PGA, PGV, Ia, CAV, Ds5–75, Tm, spectral VEIr, and SA at periods of 0.05s, 0.2, 0.5s, 1s and 2s. The models can predict for four anisotropy directions, which are angled (i.e. 0°, 45°, 90°, and 135°) relative to the fault direction. Finally, the proposed model was utilized for the regional seismic landslide hazard assessment to show a practical application.

description: This paper presents a parallel and fully conservative adaptive mesh refinement (AMR) implementation of a finite-volume-based kinetic solver for compressible flows. Time-dependent H-type refinement is combined with a two-population quasi-equilibrium Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook discrete velocity Boltzmann model. A validation has shown that conservation laws are strictly preserved through the application of refluxing operations at coarse-fine interfaces. Moreover, the targeted macroscopic moments of Euler and Navier-Stokes-Fourier level flows were accurately recovered with correct and Galilean invariant dispersion rates for a temperature range over three orders of magnitude and dissipation rates of all eigen-modes up to Mach of order 1.8. Results for one- and two-dimensional benchmarks up to Mach numbers of 3.2 and temperature ratios of 7, such as the Sod and Lax shock tubes, the Shu-Osher and several Riemann problems, as well as viscous shock-vortex interactions, have demonstrated that the solver precisely captures reference solutions. Excellent performance in obtaining sensitive quantities was proven, for example in the test case involving nonlinear acoustics, whilst, for the same accuracy and fidelity of the solution, the AMR methodology significantly reduced computational cost and memory footprints. Over all demonstrated two-dimensional problems, up to a 4- to 9-fold reduction was achieved and an upper limit of the AMR overhead of 30% was found in a case with very cost-intensive parameter choice. The proposed solver marks an accurate, efficient and scalable framework for kinetic simulations of compressible flows with moderate supersonic speeds and discontinuities, offering a valuable tool for studying complex problems in fluid dynamics.

description: The effects of a magnetic field on a modulated phase is studied. A modulated phase is found to have two critical fields $H_{1}$ and $H_{2}$. For a large enough magnetic field. $H_1$ can be approximated by a linear law. As a result, the minimum magnetic field needed to destroy a modulated phase is a constant. The minimum magnetic field also greatly depends on the order of a commensurate. A very high order commensurate phase and an incommensurate phase are impossible to survive a magnetic field. The behaviour of a magnetoelastic chain in a magnetic field is can be described by a harmless Devil's staircase. The inverse temperature is found to play a role similar to that of a special magnetic field. The deeper physics underlying these new phenomena is the breaking of the left-right symmetry of a phase diagram. As a result a controllable path to a modulated phase is found.

A Dual Heterogeneous Island Genetic Algorithm for Solving Large Size Flexible Flow Shop Scheduling Problems on Hybrid multi-core CPU and GPU Platforms

description: The flexible flow shop scheduling problem is an NP-hard problem and it requires significant resolution time to find optimal or even adequate solutions when dealing with large size instances. Thus, this paper proposes a dual island genetic algorithm consisting of a parallel cellular model and a parallel pseudo model. This is a two-level parallelization highly consistent with the underlying architecture and is well suited for parallelizing inside or between GPUs and a multi-core CPU. At the higher level, the efficiency of island GAs is improved by exploring new regions within the search space utilizing different methods. In the meantime, the cellular model keeps the population diversity by decentralization and the pseudo model enhances the search ability by the complementary parent strategy at the lower level. To encourage the information sharing between islands, a penetration inspired migration policy is designed which sets the topology, the rate, the interval and the strategy adaptively. Finally, the proposed method is tested on some large size flexible flow shop scheduling instances in comparison with other parallel algorithms. The computational results show that it cannot only obtain competitive results but also reduces execution time.

description: Stickiness is a well known phenomenon in which chaotic orbits expend an expressive amount of time in specific regions of the chaotic sea. This phenomenon becomes important when dealing with area-preserving open systems because, in this case, it leads to a temporary trapping of orbits in certain regions of phase space. In this work, we propose that the different scenarios of dynamical trapping can be explained by analyzing the crossings between invariant manifolds. In order to corroborate this assertion, we use an adaptive refinement procedure to approximately obtain the sets of homoclinic and heteroclinic intersections for the area-preserving Hénon map, an archetype of open systems, for a generic parameter interval. We show that these sets have very different statistical properties when the system is highly influenced by dynamical trapping, whereas they present similar properties when stickiness is almost absent. We explain these different scenarios by taking into consideration various effects that occur simultaneously in the system, all of which are connected with the topology of the invariant manifolds.

description: The following dissertation presents a historical narrative and an arts (music, dance, and visual arts) curriculum based on the artwork of the quintessential Caribbean-American artist, Geoffrey Holder. The dissertation is a response to a reported lack of research and teaching materials on Caribbean artists. That is, arts educators at the secondary and postsecondary levels as well as art museum educators reported a lack of, and need for, curriculum and teaching materials grounded in Caribbean content and reflective of Caribbean cultural epistemologies. Through the qualitative research methodology of historiography, an historical analysis of Holder’s artwork was conducted to develop a historical narrative, and through the instructional design approach of ADDIE an arts curriculum on music, dance, and visual arts was developed. The framing of the historical narrative was based in concepts drawn from Third Space theory into conversation with creolization to form the conceptual grounding for my exploration into Caribbean epistemologies. The curriculum development is grounded in concepts of intercultural education and inclusive arts education curriculum design. The results of this dissertation confirm the research gap of teaching resources for arts educators and needed for the supplemental materials provided through this research.

description: We develop a general theory of flows in the space of Riemannian metrics induced by neural network gradient descent. This is motivated in part by recent advances in approximating Calabi-Yau metrics with neural networks and is enabled by recent advances in understanding flows in the space of neural networks. We derive the corresponding metric flow equations, which are governed by a metric neural tangent kernel, a complicated, non-local object that evolves in time. However, many architectures admit an infinite-width limit in which the kernel becomes fixed and the dynamics simplify. Additional assumptions can induce locality in the flow, which allows for the realization of Perelman's formulation of Ricci flow that was used to resolve the 3d Poincaré conjecture. We demonstrate that such fixed kernel regimes lead to poor learning of numerical Calabi-Yau metrics, as is expected since the associated neural networks do not learn features. Conversely, we demonstrate that well-learned numerical metrics at finite-width exhibit an evolving metric-NTK, associated with feature learning. Our theory of neural network metric flows therefore explains why neural networks are better at learning Calabi-Yau metrics than fixed kernel methods, such as the Ricci flow.

description: This paper analyzes composer Aaron Cassidy’s 2014-2016 ensemble work The wreck of former boundaries, focusing on Cassidy’s compositional approach to sonically simulating interactive modes and sonic ideals featured prominently in mid-20th century recordings of free jazz artists such as Albert Ayler (Bells [1965]) and John Coltrane (Ascension [1965]). Because these musical conventions can be heard as socio-political simulacra in and of themselves, I argue that Wreck’s sonic simulations dissimulate the anti-hegemonic implications of the sound of free jazz, depicting spontaneous, hetero-original confrontations with socio-political constraint as symbolic and insubstantial. In my conclusion I argue that while an apparitional circulation of free jazz simulacra seems to de-politicize free jazz musical conventions, Wreck can be understood more precisely as critically analyzing the history of revolution. Heard through the interpretive lens of a broader history of hegemonic improvisations that absorb and displace open expressions of political defiance, Wreck appears to pessimistically reimagine free jazz as a novel form of symbolic, musical constraint.

description: Estimating the expectation of a Bernoulli random variable based on N independent trials is a classical problem in statistics, typically addressed using Binomial Proportion Confidence Intervals (BPCI). In the control systems community, many critical tasks-such as certifying the statistical safety of dynamical systems-can be formulated as BPCI problems. Conformal Prediction (CP), a distribution-free technique for uncertainty quantification, has gained significant attention in recent years and has been applied to various control systems problems, particularly to address uncertainties in learned dynamics or controllers. A variant known as training-conditional CP was recently employed to tackle the problem of safety certification. In this note, we highlight that the use of training-conditional CP in this context does not provide valid safety guarantees. We demonstrate why CP is unsuitable for BPCI problems and argue that traditional BPCI methods are better suited for statistical safety certification.

description: Diffusion Tensor Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (DT-CMR) is the only in vivo method to non-invasively examine the microstructure of the human heart. Current research in DT-CMR aims to improve the understanding of how the cardiac microstructure relates to the macroscopic function of the healthy heart as well as how microstructural dysfunction contributes to disease. To get the final DT-CMR metrics, we need to acquire diffusion weighted images of at least 6 directions. However, due to DWI's low signal-to-noise ratio, the standard voxel size is quite big on the scale for microstructures. In this study, we explored the potential of deep-learning-based methods in improving the image quality volumetrically (x4 in all dimensions). This study proposed a novel framework to enable volumetric super-resolution, with an additional model input of high-resolution b0 DWI. We demonstrated that the additional input could offer higher super-resolved image quality. Going beyond, the model is also able to super-resolve DWIs of unseen b-values, proving the model framework's generalizability for cardiac DWI superresolution. In conclusion, we would then recommend giving the model a high-resolution reference image as an additional input to the low-resolution image for training and inference to guide all super-resolution frameworks for parametric imaging where a reference image is available.

description: Graph neural networks (GNNs) have emerged as a powerful tool for nonlinear processing of graph signals, exhibiting success in recommender systems, power outage prediction, and motion planning, among others. GNNs consists of a cascade of layers, each of which applies a graph convolution, followed by a pointwise nonlinearity. In this work, we study the impact that changes in the underlying topology have on the output of the GNN. First, we show that GNNs are permutation equivariant, which implies that they effectively exploit internal symmetries of the underlying topology. Then, we prove that graph convolutions with integral Lipschitz filters, in combination with the frequency mixing effect of the corresponding nonlinearities, yields an architecture that is both stable to small changes in the underlying topology and discriminative of information located at high frequencies. These are two properties that cannot simultaneously hold when using only linear graph filters, which are either discriminative or stable, thus explaining the superior performance of GNNs.

description: Given a compact Riemannian manifold together with a group of isometries, we discuss MCF of the orbits and some applications: eg, finding minimal orbits. We then specialize to Lagrangian orbits in Kaehler manifolds. In particular, in the Kaehler-Einstein case we find a relation between MCF and moment maps which, for example, proves that the minimal Lagrangian orbits are isolated.

description: We propose a novel dynamic safety framework that optimizes language model (LM) safety reasoning at inference time without modifying model weights. Building on recent advances in self-critique methods, our approach leverages a meta-critique mechanism that iteratively updates safety prompts-termed specifications-to drive the critique and revision process adaptively. This test-time optimization not only improves performance against adversarial jailbreak requests but also in diverse general safety-related tasks, such as avoiding moral harm or pursuing honest responses. Our empirical evaluations across several language models demonstrate that dynamically optimized safety prompts yield significantly higher safety scores compared to fixed system prompts and static self-critique defenses.

description: Network embedding is a method to learn low-dimensional representation vectors for nodes in complex networks. In real networks, nodes may have multiple tags but existing methods ignore the abundant semantic and hierarchical information of tags. This information is useful to many network applications and usually very stable. In this paper, we propose a tag representation learning model, Tag2Vec, which mixes nodes and tags into a hybrid network. Firstly, for tag networks, we define semantic distance as the proximity between tags and design a novel strategy, parameterized random walk, to generate context with semantic and hierarchical information of tags adaptively. Then, we propose hyperbolic Skip-gram model to express the complex hierarchical structure better with lower output dimensions. We evaluate our model on the NBER U.S. patent dataset and WordNet dataset. The results show that our model can learn tag representations with rich semantic information and it outperforms other baselines.

description: The main motivation of this work is to propose a simulation approach for a specific task within the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) field, i.e., the visual detection and tracking of arbitrary moving objects. In particular, it is described MAT-Fly, a numerical simulation platform for multi-rotor aircraft characterized by the ease of use and control development. The platform is based on Matlab and the MathWorks Virtual Reality (VR) and Computer Vision System (CVS) toolboxes that work together to simulate the behavior of a quad-rotor while tracking a car that moves along a nontrivial path. The VR toolbox has been chosen due to the familiarity that students have with Matlab and because it does not require a notable effort by the user for the learning and development phase thanks to its simple structure. The overall architecture is quite modular so that each block can be easily replaced with others simplifying the code reuse and the platform customization. Some simple testbeds are presented to show the validity of the approach and how the platform works. The simulator is released as open-source, making it possible to go through any part of the system, and available for educational purposes.
