description: Multiple observers who independently harvest nonclassical correlations from a single physical system share the system's ability to enable quantum correlations. We show that any number of independent observers can share the preparation contextual outcome statistics enabled by state ensembles in quantum theory. Furthermore, we show that even in the presence of any amount of white noise, there exists quantum ensembles that enable such shared preparation contextuality. The findings are experimentally realised by applying sequential unsharp measurements to an optical qubit ensemble which reveals three shared demonstrations of preparation contextuality.

description: The beginning of the 21th century has not been a particularly stable period for the university, at least if you trust the steady stream of books, articles, jeremiads and statements from public officials lamenting its fallen status and calling for bold reforms.  Such a state of affairs has allowed critics and reformers alike to axiomatically evoke the "crisis" of the university, but this begs several questions: Are universities in a genuine state of crisis?  If so, what are the root causes of this situation and what are its salient features? Are there historical antecedents that shed light on our present moment?  In this dissertation I investigate the "crisis of the university" theme by revisiting two prior crises - the worldwide student movements of 1960s and the crisis of German universities in the opening decades of the 20th century.  In both cases I argue that the "crisis of the university" is derivative of a broader shift in the nature of the economy and the nation-state, wherein once-popular justifications for the university are called into question, particularly when the scale and complexity of universities have rapidly increased.  Returning to the present "crisis," I argue that current debates should focus on rehabilitating "public" nature of the university, which has undergone significant degradation in effects of neoliberalism on the nation-state, the "knowledge economy," and the nature of academic work itself.

Analysis and Applications of Smoothed Particle Magnetohydrodynamics

description: Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) is analysed as the weighted residual method. In particular the analysis focuses on the collocation aspect of the method. Using Monte Carlo experiments we demonstrate that SPH is highly sensitive to node disorder, especially in its symmetrised energy and momentum conserving form. This aspect of the method is related to low [Beta] MHD instabilities observed by other authors. A remedy in the form of the Weighted Differences Method is suggested, which addresses this problem to some extent, but at a cost of losing automatic conservation of energy and momentum. ¶ The Weighted Differences Method is used to simulate propagation of Alfven and magnetosonic wave fronts in [Beta] = 0 plasma, and the results are compared with data obtained with the NCSA Zeus3D code with the Method of Characteristics (MOC) module. ¶ SPH is then applied to two interesting astrophysical situations: accretion on to a white dwarf in a compact binary system, which results in a formation of an accretion disk, and gravitational collapse of a magnetised vortex. Both models are 3 dimensional. ¶ ...

description: We show that the ground states of the three-dimensional XXZ Heisenberg ferromagnet with a 111 interface have excitations localized in a subvolume of linear size R with energies bounded by O(1/R^2). As part of the proof we show the equivalence of ensembles for the 111 interface states in the following sense: In the thermodynamic limit the states with fixed magnetization yield the same expectation values for gauge invariant local observables as a suitable grand canonical state with fluctuating magnetization. Here, gauge invariant means commuting with the total third component of the spin, which is a conserved quantity of the Hamiltonian. As a corollary of equivalence of ensembles we also prove the convergence of the thermodynamic limit of sequences of canonical states (i.e., with fixed magnetization).

An example of a segmented log2 ratio curve of an amplification SCNA from one tumor is displayed. Due to the nature of the log2 ratio data, the probe specific values fluctuate across the SCNA, with values both above (i.e. gain) and below (i.e. loss) the null reference line of two copies (log2 ratio = 0). To quantify the alteration magnitude for this tumor/SCNA, the cnAUC with respect to the null log2 ratio value of zero was calculated. Area above reference line (blue region) was treated as positive, and area below the line (orange region) was treated as negative. The sum of positive and negative area is the cnAUC of the region for the tumor.

description: This thesis argues that the Australian military intervention in East Timor in 1999 was motivated primarily by the need to defend Australia’s own strategic interests. It was an act of Australian imperialism understood from a Marxist perspective, and was consistent with longstanding strategic policy in the region. ...¶ Australia’s insertion of military forces into East Timor in 1999 served its own strategic priorities by ensuring an orderly transfer of sovereignty took place, avoiding a destabilising power vacuum as the country transitioned to independence. It also guaranteed that Australia’s economic and strategic interests in the new nation could not be ignored by the United Nations or the East Timorese themselves. There are therefore underlying consistencies in Australia’s policy on East Timor stretching back several decades. Despite changing contexts, and hence radically different policy responses, Australia acted throughout this time to prevent political and strategic instability in East Timor.¶ ...

description: This study presents the results of a floristic vegetational study on Robinia pseudoacacia neoformation forests in the peri-Adriatic sector of central Italy. This has allowed the characterization of these coenoses at the ecological, biogeographic, syntaxonomic and landscape levels. These currently represent the southernmost syntaxa of the Robinietea class described for the Italian peninsula, and the first syntaxonomic contribution of this class in Europe for the Mediterranean biogeographical region. We propose here the new alliance Lauro nobilis–Robinion pseudoacaciae of the order Chelidonio–Robinietalia pseudoacaciae and class Robinietea, with two new associations: Melisso altissimae–Robinietum pseudoacaciae and Rubio peregrinae–Robinietum pseudoacaciae. The new alliance Lauro nobilis–Robinion pseudoacaciae (typus: Melisso altissimae–Robinietum pseudoacaciae) brings together neoformation forests and pre-forest dominated by R. pseudoacacia in those territories with a Mediterranean macroclimate of the peri-Adriatic sector of central Italy. The optimum is found for the alluvial plain and low-slope morphologies, on soils that are moist and rich in organic matter and in areas with anthropic disturbance. On the basis of comparisons with the European context, the alliance Bryonio–Robinion described for the temperate territories of northern Italy is here validated.

description: Spontaneous collapse models are proposed modifications to quantum mechanics which aim to solve the measurement problem. In this article we will consider models which attempt to extend a specific spontaneous collapse model, the Ghirardi-Rimini-Weber model (GRW), to be consistent with special relativity. We will present a condition that a relativistic GRW model must meet for three cases: for single particle, for N distinguishable particles, and for indistinguishable particles. We will then show that this relativistic condition implies that one can have a relativistic GRW model for a single particle or for distinguishable non-interacting, non-entangled particles but not otherwise.

SHYSTER: A Pragmatic Legal Expert System

Year: 1993
Subjects: SHYSTER, law, legal, expert system, artificial intelligence, jurisprudence

description: ... A legal expert system called SHYSTER has been developed to demonstrate that a useful legal expert system can be based upon a pragmatic approach to the law. SHYSTER has a simple representation structure which simplifies the problem of knowledge acquisition. Yet this structure is complex enough for SHYSTER to produce useful advice. ¶ SHYSTER is a case-based legal expert system (although it has been designed so that it can be linked with a rule-based system to form a hybrid legal expert system). Its advice is based upon an examination of, and an argument about, the similarities and differences between cases. SHYSTER attempts to model the way in which lawyers argue with cases, but it does not attempt to model the way in which lawyers decide which cases to use in those arguments. Instead, it employs statistical techniques to quantify the similarity between cases. It decides which cases to use in argument, and what prediction it will make, on the basis of that similarity measure. ¶ SHYSTER is of a general design: it provides advice in areas of case law that have been specified by a legal expert using a specification language. Four different, and disparate, areas of law have been specified for SHYSTER, and its operation has been tested in each of those legal domains. ¶ Testing of SHYSTER in these four domains indicates that it is exceptionally good at predicting results, and fairly good at choosing cases with which to construct its arguments. SHYSTER demonstrates the viability of a pragmatic approach to legal expert system design.

description: Consider an $N\times N$ hermitian random matrix with independent entries, not necessarily Gaussian, a so called Wigner matrix. It has been conjectured that the local spacing distribution, i.e. the distribution of the distance between nearest neighbour eigenvalues in some part of the spectrum is, in the limit as $N\to\infty$, the same as that of hermitian random matrices from GUE. We prove this conjecture for a certain subclass of hermitian Wigner matrices.

Advancing VR Simulators for Autonomous Vehicle-Pedestrian Interactions: A Focus on Multi-Entity Scenarios

Year: 2024
Subjects: subject: Human-Computer Interaction (cs.HC)

description: Recent research has increasingly focused on how autonomous vehicles (AVs) communicate with pedestrians in complex traffic situations involving multiple vehicles and pedestrians. VR is emerging as an effective tool to simulate these multi-entity scenarios, offering a safe and controlled study environment. Despite its growing use, there is a lack of thorough investigation into the effectiveness of these VR simulations, leaving a notable gap in documented insights and lessons. This research undertook a retrospective analysis of two distinct VR-based studies: one focusing on multiple AV scenarios (N=32) and the other on multiple pedestrian scenarios (N=25). Central to our examination are the participants' sense of presence and their crossing behaviour. The findings highlighted key factors that either enhance or diminish the sense of presence in each simulation, providing considerations for future improvements. Furthermore, they underscore the influence of controlled scenarios on crossing behaviour and interactions with AVs, advocating for the exploration of more natural and interactive simulations that better reflect real-world AV and pedestrian dynamics. Through this study, we set a groundwork for advancing VR simulators to study complex interactions between AVs and pedestrians.

Subjects: carrying capacity, Sydney rock oyster, estuarine processes, environmental indices, stocking density

description: There has been a continuous decline in both the production and general performance of the SRO in NSW estuaries over the past three decades. The relationship of this decline to both environmental and oyster-density related factors are assessed in this thesis. This question has been examined at different scales: a large scale that compares two different estuaries (Clyde and Shoalhaven Rivers, southern NSW); a regional scale that encompasses variations within an estuary and, at a lease scale that examines processes pertaining to individual or small groups of oysters. ... A set of environmental indices were used to complement the model and to assess the sustainability of the culture system. The combined indices indicated that while the ecological carrying capacity of the Clyde was exceeded the production capacity at an estuarine scale was not. On the lease scale, density experiments showed that while growth was not reduced as a result of current stocking densities, the condition index was significantly affected.

description: This paper explores the ways in which persons diagnosed with depression artistically describe their depression through painting. The rating instrument for two dimensional creative works, RizbA (2018), is utilized for comparing paintings made by persons having experienced recurring episodes of depression with persons having no current or prior diagnosis of depression. A total of 17 two dimensional creative works were gathered from patients diagnosed with recurring depression being treated in a psychiatric day clinic in Germany (experimental group). Within the framework of an online study, art experts (N=83) used items from the RizbA rating scale to judge the works. The data for the control group were taken from a previous study filtered with respect to demographic similarity. A t-test of independent samples with a bonferroni-corrected significance level was then applied. The results show a significant difference in 4 of the 26 items of the RizbA rating instrument. Paintings from the experimental group were significantly less brilliant in terms of brightness and showed significantly less contrast. The paintings from the experimental group received a significantly higher rating with respect to all-over-structure and depth of perspective.
Historicizing Maternity in Boccaccio's Ninfale fiesolano and Decameron

description: This dissertation explores the representation of maternity in two of Boccaccio's works, the early idyllic poem, the Ninfale fiesolano, and the author's later magnum opus, the Decameron, through readings in the social history of women and the family and medieval medical literature of obstetrics and gynecology. I create a dense historical context from which to examine the depiction of generative processes, maternity, and mother-child interactions in these works, allowing us to better understand the relationship between Boccaccio's treatment of these subjects and the author's larger stance on women and gender. In Chapter One, I explore Boccaccio's uncommon interest in the events between conception and birth in the Ninfale fiesolano; I demonstrate the conformity of the Ninfale's literary depictions of conception, pregnancy, and childbirth to the medical literature of obstetrics and gynecology and social practices in the late Middle Ages. In the second chapter, I explore how the Ninfale, traditionally seen as an idyllic, mythological poem, reflects the practices and ideologies of the normative form of family structure in fourteenth-century Tuscany, the patrilineage. I first show how the poem's pervasive discourse on resemblance exposes, and undercuts, the importance of the paternal line; I then consider how Mensola's joyful maternity -her beautifully rendered interactions with baby Pruneo - contains an implicit critique of the role and function of maternity in patrilineal society. With Chapter Three, I turn to Boccaccio's prose works; I explore how Boccaccio incorporates specific and historicized beliefs about generative physiology - the biological pre-conditions for maternity - into commonplaces of the misogynistic tradition in the Corbaccio and Decameron V.10. Chapters Four and Five focus specifically on the Decameron. In the fourth chapter, I consider how Boccaccio uses a distinctly gendered language of generation in Decameron III.8, V.7, X.4, and, most spectacularly, X.10 to underscore the marginality of women to family and line. In the fifth, and final, chapter, I explore the profound cultural embeddedness of Boccaccio's treatment of maternity by placing the Decameron's depictions of motherhood - whether unwanted, farcical, or affective - within the greater social context of Renaissance natalism. Throughout this project, I consider how representations of maternity and generative processes in Boccaccio's texts comment on the realities of motherhood - and womanhood - in the patrilineal society of fourteenth-century Tuscany.

description: Let $Ω\subset\mathbb{C}$ be a bounded domain. In this note, we use complex variable methods to study the number of critical points of the function $v=v_Ω$ that solves the elliptic problem $Δv = -2$ in $Ω,$ with boundary values $v=0$ on $\partialΩ.$ This problem has a classical flavor but is especially motivated by recent studies on localization of eigenfunctions. We provide an upper bound on the number of critical points of $v$ when $Ω$ belongs to a special class of domains in the plane, namely, domains for which the boundary $\partialΩ$ is contained in $\{z:|z|^2 = f(z) + \overline{f(z)}\},$ where $f'(z)$ is a rational function. We furnish examples of domains where this bound is attained. We also prove a bound on the number of critical points in the case when $Ω$ is a quadrature domain, and conclude the note by stating some open problems and conjectures.

description: Additional file 9: Figure S1. Pdf format. Accounting for partially overlapping SCNAs from African American (AA) and European American (EA) races. To account for partially overlapping SCNAs across the two races, we defined new sub-SCNAs based on the overlapping status between the two races, which resulted in sub-SCNAs that are shared by both races or were only identified in one. Three exemplary situations are illustrated, and in each, the actual races are exchangeable. A) In this situation, the SCNA boundaries for each race are distinct from the other, and the boundaries for the AA SCNA are contained within those of the EA SCNA. This results in three distinct SCNAs, with the breakpoints defined by the boundaries of the AA SCNA. B) In this situation, the leftmost boundary is shared by both races, and the rightmost boundary for the AA region is contained within the EA boundary. As a result, two SCNAs are defined based on the rightmost AA boundary. C) In this situation, all of four boundaries are distinct. The first breakpoint is defined by the leftmost AA boundary, and the second breakpoint is defined by the rightmost EA boundary. As a result, three SCNAs are defined.

description: We find that ground states of the quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the geometrically frustrated pyrochlore checkerboard lattice are singlets and can be expressed in terms of positive matrices. The magnetization at zero external field vanishes for each frustrated tetrahedral unit separately and there is an upper bound of 1/8 in natural units on the susceptibility both for the ground state and at finite temperature. These results are the first exact ones in this field and generalize to some other lattices; the approach is also of interest for other spin systems.

description: Inspired by the fact that the Moyal quantization is related with nonlocal operation, I define a difference analogue of vector fields and rephrase quantum description on the phase space. Applying this prescription to the theory of the KP-hierarchy, I show that their integrability follows to the nature of their Wigner distribution. Furthermore the definition of the ``expectation value'' clarifies the relation between our approach and the Hamiltonian structure of the KP-hierarchy. A trial of the explicit construction of the Moyal bracket structure in the integrable system is also made.

description: In this paper we study stationary last passage percolation (LPP) in half-space geometry. We determine the limiting distribution of the last passage time in a critical window close to the origin. The result is a new two-parameter family of distributions: one parameter for the strength of the diagonal bounding the half-space (strength of the source at the origin in the equivalent TASEP language) and the other for the distance of the point of observation from the origin. It should be compared with the one-parameter family giving the Baik--Rains distributions for full-space geometry. We finally show that far enough away from the characteristic line, our distributions indeed converge to the Baik--Rains family. We derive our results using a related integrable model having Pfaffian structure together with careful analytic continuation and steepest descent analysis.

We extend to the non-local case the general analysis of the modular structure. The local algebras turn out to be $III_1$-factors associated with free groups. We use our set up to show examples exhibiting arbitrarily large maximal temperatures, but failing to satisfy the split property, then clarifying the relation between the latter property and the trace class conditions on $e^{-\b L}$, where $L$ is the conformal Hamiltonian.

description: Sustainable development has become a common phrase in today's language, much like the term ecology was in the 1960s. The concept of sustainable development appears to be simple, yet its definition as applied to real issues is elusive. The questions raised include: is mining sustainable? what is sustainable development with respect to mine reclamation? sustainable on regional or global dimensions? sustainable over what period of time? The concept of sustainable development as applied to mining must develop a meaningful working definition that incorporates non-renewable resource management within the economic realities of society and the desires of preservation and conservation. Much attention has been given to planning for exploration, pre-mining extraction and active mine operations, without concern of sustainable development or sustainability. Even less attention has been devoted to the concept of sustainability following the active phase of a mining operation. The additional question to be addressed is what does sustainability or sustainable development mean in the context of mine reclamation?

description: In the era of globalization, every organization or company is required to have a differentiation advantage that can be used as an additional weapon to face competitors. Companies in the face of threats and challenges that arise can implement the right strategy that aligns with the core advantages. The purpose of this study is to examine and analyze the effect of the implementation of responsibility accounting and strategy on organizational performance. The population of this research is all managers of an organization in Indonesia, amounting to 130 people. The sampling technique is carried out with a "non-probability sampling" approach with the "purposive sampling" method. The analytical model used to test the proposed hypothesis is multiple linear regression by checking the compatibility of the F test model and testing the test hypothesis t. The results of the study prove that the Implementation of Responsibility Accounting and Strategy Implementation influences organizational performance. In this case, the influence is a positive influence. This positive influence implies that the organization must have responsibility for accounting and implement it in the operational activities of the organization. Also, strategies must be created and indeed implemented so that organizational performance increases and has competitive advantages.
History and Metaphor: Hans Blumenberg's Theory of Language

description: This dissertation reconstructs German philosopher Hans Blumenberg’s theory of language in its intellectual and historical context. It shows how Blumenberg develops an original interpretation of language as a “weak” medium of expression, and offers an approach to Blumenberg’s whole oeuvre by tracing the changes he makes to this conception over the course of his career.
      In a first phase, Blumenberg develops a notion of language that is based on intersubjective situatedness, which both accounts for the impossibility of language to ever reach full objectivity, as Edmund Husserl set out to do, and language’s function to infer this intersubjectivity as the historical understanding of the reality in which it arose. The systematic investigation of these “concepts of reality” Blumenberg calls “historical phenomenology,” and it informs his thought up to the late nineteen-sixties. In a second phase, Blumenberg turns away from the philosophy of history and toward anthropology; now, intersubjectivity is no longer an exclusively linguistic phenomenon. Language loses its dominant status and is incorporated into a “phenomenological anthropology” that studies all productions of meaning—be they linguistic or otherwise—as “significances.” Here, language is one tool among others for human survival.
      In tracing these changes, the thesis contextualizes both Blumenberg’s major works and discusses unknown archival material. In addition to a new assessment of Blumenberg’s biographical background, the thesis addresses his metaphorology, his literary theory, and, in particular, his theory of liberalism.
History and Materiality of Rustic Ferrocement Sculptures

description: This thesis discusses the history of rustic landscape structures and their technical evolution. The tradition began with stone masons tooling rocks to achieve a more naturalistic aesthetic, a technique that was popular throughout the 17th and 18th centuries in Europe. During the Industrial Revolution, the advent of modern materials such as portland cement yielded new techniques for mimicking nature, including ferrocement construction systems. The use of cement in this way began in France in the early 1840s, becoming popular throughout Europe and, in the late 19th century, South America.

In different languages, these small-scale structures are described in different terms, each with its own implication. "Faux bois" in French is a simple reference to the imitation of wood.  In Spanish, the term is "trabajo rustico" or rustic work. The broader term "rustic ferrocement sculpture" describes works mimicking grottos, rustic stones and wood, constructed with a relatively simple system that uses reinforced cement mortar.

Throughout the 20th century, the rustic ferrocement style was transmitted throughout the US, utilized generally by immigrant craftsmen. The forms became more complicated and detailed, and were seen in several types of landscapes, including cemeteries, church yards, parks and estates. This thesis is an investigation of the history and technology of several works, and of their cultural and physical context, along with a discussion of contemporary conservation methods for these folk art sculptures.

Quantum Compression of Tensor Network States

description: We design quantum compression algorithms for parametric families of tensor network states. We first establish an upper bound on the amount of memory needed to store an arbitrary state from a given state family. The bound is determined by the minimum cut of a suitable flow network, and is related to the flow of information from the manifold of parameters that specify the states to the physical systems in which the states are embodied. For given network topology and given edge dimensions, our upper bound is tight when all edge dimensions are powers of the same integer. When this condition is not met, the bound is optimal up to a multiplicative factor smaller than 1.585. We then provide a compression algorithm for general state families, and show that the algorithm runs in polynomial time for matrix product states.
