description: We study a mechanism design problem where a community of agents wishes to fund public projects via voluntary monetary contributions by the community members. This serves as a model for public expenditure without an exogenously available budget, such as participatory budgeting or voluntary tax programs, as well as donor coordination when interpreting charities as public projects and donations as contributions. Our aim is to identify a mutually beneficial distribution of the individual contributions. In the preference aggregation problem that we study, agents report linear utility functions over projects together with the amount of their contributions, and the mechanism determines a socially optimal distribution of the money. We identify a specific mechanism -- the Nash product rule -- which picks the distribution that maximizes the product of the agents' utilities. This rule is Pareto efficient, and we prove that it satisfies attractive incentive properties: it spends each agent's contribution only on projects the agent finds acceptable, and agents are strongly incentivized to participate.

description: Un attento sguardo al mercato edilizio degli ultimi anni, fa emergere una forte crisi strettamente legata alla riduzione della domanda, sia sul versante pubblico che su quello privato, che ha causato rilevanti danni all’attività delle singole imprese e di conseguenza anche all’occupazione. Tuttavia, una ricerca più approfondita, ha fatto emergere che, in un periodo così instabile e pieno di incertezze, in contro corrente alla crisi, si inizia ad aprire uno spiraglio del mercato edilizio che è stato fortemente accettato e sta riscuotendo sempre più successo: il mercato delle costruzioni in legno.
 L’utilizzo di questi sistemi sta prendendo sempre più piede anche nel nostro paese, confermandosi al quarto posto in Europa per la produzione di edifici prefabbricati in legno. Mettendo da parte i pregiudizi e le ideologie del passato, in cui era radicata l’idea che la casa in legno coincidesse con una baita di montagna o una costruzione in serie (per la sua natura prefabbricata), oggi costruire in legno, viene vista come una soluzione innovativa, atta a risolvere le problematiche del contesto urbano.
title: The Interaction Between Children's Working Memory And Long-Distance Subject-Verb Agreement: An Experimental And Corpus Investigation
Creators: name: Roque Gutierrez, Ernesto
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2022

description: The status of human language as either a recycler of general cognition (Tomasello, 2003; Bybee, 2010; Goldberg, 2006) or an encapsulated module with processes unique to itself (Chomsky, 1980; Fodor, 1983), has been intensely contested. The debate is important because it speaks to what language is made of and how it is acquired. Although evidence is building of a significant interaction between language and cognition (e.g., Dąbrowska & Divjak, 2015, 2019), the extent of this interaction, the development periods in which it occurs, and the domains to which it corresponds, remain unclear. This thesis contributes to the understanding of these issues with four studies. Study 1 explores the directionality of cognitive transfer between working memory (WM) and syntax among L1 and L2-learning 7-year-old children in a randomised controlled trial. Study 2 analyses individual variation in WM performance among these same participants by examining speed/accuracy trade-offs in the context of gender. Using corpus data, study 3 correlates the development of English and Spanish long-distance subject-verb agreement (SVA) with that of non-verbal WM in children between 2 and 12 years of age. Study 4 examines the extent to which WM is implicated in processing long-distance SVA given the level of formulaic language used. The studies revealed that: [1] WM training improved L1 and L2 syntactic performance, but not vice versa; [2] the reaction times to the WM task were bimodally distributed, and boys tended to respond quicker but girls were more accurate; [3] the development of long-distance SVA was predicted by the development of non-verbal WM; [4] the degree of formulaicity observed in sentences with long-distance agreement was consistent with some form of WM involvement. Interpreted together, these results present a compelling and comprehensive case in favour of a deep integration between WM and syntax in the process of language acquisition.

description: Recent years have witnessed the rapid deployment of smart homes; most of them are controlled by remote servers in the cloud. Such designs raise security and privacy concerns for end users. In this paper, we describe the design of Sovereign, a home IoT system framework that provides end users complete control of their home IoT systems. Sovereign lets home IoT devices and applications communicate via application-named data and secures data directly. This enables direct, secure, one-to-one and one-to-many device-to-device communication over wireless broadcast media. Sovereign utilizes semantic names to construct usable security solutions. We implement Sovereign as a publish-subscribe-based development platform together with a prototype home IoT controller. Our preliminary evaluation shows that Sovereign provides a systematic, easy-to-use solution to user-controlled, self-contained smart homes running on existing IoT hardware without imposing noticeable overhead.

description: Over the past decade, travelers have increasingly utilized technology to aid their use of transportation systems, from real-time navigation apps like Google Maps, to ride-sourcing apps like Uber and Lyft, to bike and scootershare apps like Lime and Spin. These applications of technology to mobility systems have fundamentally changed the way in which people travel by offering them the ability to navigate the physical world by first navigating a virtual representation of it. The layers of virtual and physical transportation infrastructure complicates transportation planning efforts and underscores the need for methodologies to understand and leverage the relationship between the virtual and physical transportation infrastructures.
 This dissertation offers concrete methodologies to understand the behavior and impact of technologically-enabled mobility services on transportation infrastructure along three directions: 1) to illuminate the coordinating signals in virtual mobility services, 2) to anticipate benefits and harms of coordinating signals in general physical transportation networks, and 3) to recover coordinating signals from observed behavior on the physical network. These methodologies together expand the toolbox of the transportation planner to not only accommodate but leverage technological change in realizing the transportation system of the future.
 In the first part of this thesis, we demonstrate that spatial-temporal imbalances in supply and demand on ride sourcing platforms can be predicted from real-time urban data. This work highlights surge pricing as an imperfect market mechanism and also demonstrates that ride-sourcing supply and demand behavior in the aggregate can be recovered from data. In the second part of the thesis, we study how coordination within a virtual transportation infrastructure impacts travelers on the physical road network. In the best case, this coordination induces the system optimal network utilization, but in other cases may reduce network efficiency. Finally, we study how we might infer the coordinating signal within a virtual transportation network from observed behavior of its users on the physical network, even as the environment is changing. To this end we apply a novel statistical test to driver behavior during the COVID-19 lockdown in Pittsburgh. This research may also be applied to assess the validity of network equilibrium models based on a particular notion of travel cost to describe the longrun behavior of a network from data collected on that network over time. Taken together this thesis outlines a methodology for transportation planners to recover coordinating signals from data and leverage them in longterm transportation plans to improve transportation systems.

title: Orthodox Christian women’s experiences of fasting during pregnancy and breastfeeding in Ethiopia
Creators: name: Brewer, Sophia
Publisher: name: London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine
Year: 2020

description: Background—The nutritional status of women and children continues to be a global public health concern, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. While improvements have been gained in nutrition-related health indicators In Ethiopia, 38% of children under five remain stunted, 25% of women of reproductive age are undernourished, and an estimated 1.7 million children, pregnant, and breastfeeding women require specialised nutrition support. Maternal dietary and child nutrition is not solely the result of access to food. Orthodox Christianity is practised by an estimated 40 million people in Ethiopia and strictly prohibits the consumption of animal products and restricts the times allowed for eating for the 200 days per year that are designated fasting days; yet, there is little understanding of its practice amongst pregnant and breastfeeding women. Research Aim—To increase our understanding of how and why Ethiopian Orthodox women practice religious fasting during pregnancy and when breastfeeding through their own accounts. Methods— Using a social ecological framework, interviews with pregnant and breastfeeding women explored the interrelated factors that contribute to dietary behaviour during these nutritionally important periods, including social norms and religious decisions around fasting. A sample of 19 participants was selected purposively for interviews from both urban and rural sites in the Amhara Region of Ethiopia. Interviews were conducted in the local language, audio recorded. Using NVivo software, transcribed interviewed were analysed to define thematic areas. Results—Religiosity and its effect on health was a major theme of women’s nutrition experiences which drove their motivation and behaviour, intersecting all other themes and subthemes. There was a closely linked association between women’s experiences of the physical effects of pregnancy, breastfeeding during fasting and the spiritual experience of fasting. Women’s exercise of agency in their fasting behaviour and their conception of health as encompassing both spiritual and physical aspects were identified as major themes. The influence of social networks, including peer, family, and community, also played an important role in women’s dietary choices during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Conclusion—Recognizing spiritual well-being as a normative health framework for Ethiopian Orthodox women may in fact facilitate adoption of the types of multisectoral approaches to undernutrition that are recommended in global health nutrition guidance. Directly involving priests and lay community members as more prominent stakeholders to address undernutrition in this socio-cultural context may result in more effective strategies to reduce nutrition-related maternal and child morbidities and mortality in Ethiopia.

description: Conditional correlation networks, within Gaussian Graphical Models (GGM), are widely used to describe the direct interactions between the components of a random vector. In the case of an unlabelled Heterogeneous population, Expectation Maximisation (EM) algorithms for Mixtures of GGM have been proposed to estimate both each sub-population's graph and the class labels. However, we argue that, with most real data, class affiliation cannot be described with a Mixture of Gaussian, which mostly groups data points according to their geometrical proximity. In particular, there often exists external co-features whose values affect the features' average value, scattering across the feature space data points belonging to the same sub-population. Additionally, if the co-features' effect on the features is Heterogeneous, then the estimation of this effect cannot be separated from the sub-population identification. In this article, we propose a Mixture of Conditional GGM (CGGM) that subtracts the heterogeneous effects of the co-features to regroup the data points into sub-population corresponding clusters. We develop a penalised EM algorithm to estimate graph-sparse model parameters. We demonstrate on synthetic and real data how this method fulfils its goal and succeeds in identifying the sub-populations where the Mixtures of GGM are disrupted by the effect of the co-features.
Combinatorial Multi-armed Bandits in Competitive Environments

Publisher: name: Carnegie Mellon University

Subjects: Computer Engineering

description: Multi-armed bandits (MAB) have attracted much attention as a means of capturing the exploration and exploitation tradeoff in sequential decision making. In the classical MAB problem, at each round, a player chooses one arm from a fixed arm set and receives a random reward based on an unknown distribution. Nevertheless, in many real world applications, the problems have a combinatorial nature among multiple arms and possibly non-linear reward functions. Combinatorial multi-armed bandits (CMAB) have been extensively studied for these settings, and most previous works consider CMAB from a single player’s perspective: at each round, one player chooses a set of arms to play, observes the feedback from them and receives a reward. However, motivated by applications such as online advertising (i.e., advertisers put ads on websites to attract user clicks), there might exist multiple players (advertisers) competing over the same set of arms (websites). This competition among players has been less studied and brings significant challenges to the design and analysis of bandit algorithms.
 In this thesis, we introduce the competitive CMAB problem from two different perspectives. We first consider competitive CMAB from the follower’s perspective, where a follower and a competitor play with the same set of arms. We assume the follower can choose his action after observing the action of the competitor and study how the follower can maximize his own reward given the competitor’s actions. We then introduce competitive CMAB from the multi-players’ perspective, where multiple players choose combinatorial actions on the same set of arms. Our objective is to design bandit algorithms that maximize the collective reward across all players. We provide general formulations of both settings and design bandit algorithms with theoretical guarantees for real-world applications, including social influence maximization, dynamic channel allocation, and general resource allocation.

description: We study the leptoquark model of Buchmüller, Rückl and Wyler, focusing on a particular type of scalar ($R_2$) and vector ($U_1$) leptoquark. The primary aim is to perform the calculations for leptoquark production and decay at next-to-leading order (NLO) to establish the importance of the NLO contributions and, in particular, to determine how effective the narrow-width-approximation (NWA) is at NLO. For both the scalar and vector leptoquarks it is found that the NLO contributions are large, with the larger corrections occurring for the case vector leptoquarks. For the scalar leptoquark it is found that the NWA provides a good approximation for determining the resonant peak, however the NWA is not as effective for the vector leptoquark. For both the scalar and vector leptoquarks there are large contributions away from the resonant peak, which are missing from the NWA results, and these make a significant difference to the total cross-section.

description: With rapid progress across platforms for quantum systems, the problem of many-body quantum state reconstruction for noisy quantum states becomes an important challenge. Recent works found promise in recasting the problem of quantum state reconstruction to learning the probability distribution of quantum state measurement vectors using generative neural network models. Here we propose the "Attention-based Quantum Tomography" (AQT), a quantum state reconstruction using an attention mechanism-based generative network that learns the mixed state density matrix of a noisy quantum state. The AQT is based on the model proposed in "Attention is all you need" by Vishwani et al (2017) that is designed to learn long-range correlations in natural language sentences and thereby outperform previous natural language processing models. We demonstrate not only that AQT outperforms earlier neural-network-based quantum state reconstruction on identical tasks but that AQT can accurately reconstruct the density matrix associated with a noisy quantum state experimentally realized in an IBMQ quantum computer. We speculate the success of the AQT stems from its ability to model quantum entanglement across the entire quantum system much as the attention model for natural language processing captures the correlations among words in a sentence.

description: Cognitive neuroscientists are trained to use clever experimental manipulations to isolate simple, interpretable relationships between brain, behavior, and environment. This approach relies on the assumption that these relations can be recomposed into a satisfying understanding of ecological brain function. Drawing parallels with evolutionary theory and machine learning, we challenge this assumption and argue that ecological considerations should play a more central role in cognitive neuroscience. With this in mind, we present the “Narratives” data collection—an fMRI benchmark for developing and evaluating models of naturalistic language comprehension. Although sharing the “long tail” of naturalistic neuroimaging data has clear benefits for the community, it also introduces challenges in data harmonization. We develop a novel hyperalignment algorithm that leverages shared connectivity to estimate a common response space across heterogeneous naturalistic datasets. This connectivity-based shared response model yields a consensus space across stimuli and dramatically increases the dimensionality of shared information across subjects.

description: Recently, the lattice shaking technique has been used to couple different Bloch bands resonantly. For the one-dimensional (1D) case, in which shaking is along only one direction, experimental observation of domain-wall formation has been explained by superfluid Ising transition. Inspired by these, we generalize to a 2D case in which shaking is along two orthogonal directions. Analogous to the 1D case, we find three different phases, the normal superfluid (NSF) phase, the $D_4$ symmetry-breaking superfluid ($D_4$SF) phase and the Mott insulator (MI) phase. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the interaction effect induced by inhomogeneous band mixing can modify the critical shaking amplitude. Unlike in the 1D case, shaking types also can modify the critical shaking amplitude. Unlike in the 1D case, shaking types also can modify the critical shaking amplitude. We also construct a low-energy effective field theory to study the quantum criticality of bosons near the tricritical point of NSF, $D_4$SF and MI phases. Moreover, we find a Bose liquid with anisotropically algebraic order and propose to change the Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) into a non-condensed Bose liquid by tuning the shaking amplitude approaching the critical value.

These comparison theorems are formulated with $ε$-range introduced in our previous paper, that provides a natural viewpoint of interpolating weighted Ricci curvature conditions of different effective dimensions. Some of our results are new even for weighted Riemannian manifolds and generalize comparison theorems of Wylie-Yeroshkin and Kuwae-Li.

description: We explore the dynamics of the entanglement entropy near equilibrium in highly-entangled pure states of two quantum-chaotic spin chains undergoing unitary time evolution. We examine the relaxation to equilibrium from initial states with either less or more entanglement entropy than the equilibrium value, as well as the dynamics of the spontaneous fluctuations of the entanglement that occur in equilibrium. For the spin chain with a time-independent Hamiltonian and thus an extensive conserved energy, we find slow relaxation of the entanglement entropy near equilibration. Such slow relaxation is absent in a Floquet spin chain with a Hamiltonian that is periodic in time and thus has no local conservation law. Therefore, we argue that slow diffusive energy transport is responsible for the slow relaxation of the entanglement entropy in the Hamiltonian system.

description: The regulatory role of apple MdAGO4.1 gene in plant drought and salt resistance is unclear. In this study, transgenic A. thaliana in which the apple MdAGO4.1 gene was over-expressed was used to analyze the regulatory effects of the MdAGO4.1 gene on plant drought and salt resistance, to verify the function of the apple MdAGO4.1 gene. The seed germination rate, seedling fresh weight and root length of transgenic Arabidopsis strains in MS medium containing different concentrations of NaCl and mannitol were better than those of the wild type. The transgenic A. thaliana seedlings were more resistant to drought than wild type under drought stress. The transgenic strains were less affected by salt stress than thewild type. Exposure to drought and salt stress reduced the relative elektrolyte leakage, malondialdehyde (MDA), superoxide anion (O2-), and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) levels of the transgenic strain significantly compared with the levels in the wild type. The levels of proline, protective enzyme activities, and the expression of genes related to drought and salt stress resistance were significantly higher than those of the wild type. These results indicate that MdAGO4.1 overexpression improved drought and salt tolerance in transgenic Arabidopsis. This study can provide a theoretical basis for future research on stress tolerance mechanisms and breeding new varieties of fruit trees resistant to drought and salt.

description: The ability to manipulate the electrophysiology of electrically active cells and tissues has enabled a deeper understanding of healthy and diseased tissue states. This has primarily been achieved via input/output (I/O) bioelectronics that interface engineered materials with biological entities. Stable long-term application of conventional I/O bioelectronics advances as materials and processing techniques develop. Graphene is a unique 2D allotrope of carbon that has exceptional physical and chemical properties, and an enormous surface-area-to volume ratio. The dependence of the fundamental properties of graphene on its structure have been well studied. This has facilitated the development of graphene based I/O bioelectronics with a wide variety of functional characteristics. Further, to leverage the high surface-area of graphene, efforts have been made to synthesize complex three-dimensional (3D) geometries of graphene. Although various protocols have been developed to obtain 3D graphene nanostructures, the topology of the obtained graphene nanostructures is still limited. Additionally, the established relationships between the structure and fundamental properties of 2D graphene nanostructures cannot be directly extrapolated to the developed 3D nano architectures.
 This thesis presents a truly 3D topology of graphene fabricated via templated synthesis of free-standing single-to-few-layer graphene flakes (nanowire templated 3D fuzzy graphene, NT-3DFG) for functional bioelectronics; and establishes the relationships between the material’s structure and its fundamental properties. The effects of the synthesis parameters on the hierarchical structure of NT-3DFG are mapped. The intricate 3D arrangement of free-standing graphene flakes leads high electrical conductivity via variable-range hopping dominated electron transport. In NT-3DFG, both basal planes and edges of the graphene flakes are electrochemically active and contribute to its high exposed surface-area. The enhanced electrochemical properties of NT-3DFG enable miniaturization of graphene-based microelectrodes to ultra-microelectrodes for functional bioelectronics. The 3D arrangement of graphene flakes confers high optical absorbance and downstream photothermal energy conversion. This enables remote nongenetic photothermal stimulation of 2D and 3D neuronal cultures with high spatiotemporal resolution using optical energies less than a hundred nanojoules. Uncovering the fundamental properties of multiscale graphene nanostructures demonstrates the importance of extending the nanomaterial topology to 3D.

description: Diese Arbeit untersucht die Auswirkungen eines SaaS Geschäftsmodells auf das Vertriebscontrolling. Dazu werden mittels Literatur die Kennzahlen und Instrumente des klassischen Vertriebscontrollings besprochen. Ein SaaS Geschäftsmodell hat spezifische Charakteristika, Herausforderungen und Erfolgsfaktoren, welche im Anschluss eingeführt werden. Diese beeinflussen das Vertriebscontrolling eines SaaS Geschäftsmodells. Die DSGVO schränkt das Vertriebscontrolling dabei, in der Nutzung von personenbezogenen Daten, ein. Diese Arbeit zeigt, dass die Grundelemente des Vertriebscontrollings bestehen bleiben, jedoch andere Kennzahlen verwendet werden müssen. Zusätzlich kommen neue Aufgaben auf das Vertriebscontrolling zu. Abschließend werden Handlungsempfehlungen für das Vertriebscontrolling eines SaaS Geschäftsmodells entwickelt. Mittels einer systematischen Literaturrecherche werden diese Handlungsempfehlungen bestätigt.
description: This thesis researches the influence of a SaaS business model on the sales management accounting. Using literature, the key figures and instruments of the classical sales management accounting get introduced. A SaaS business model has its own characteristics, challenges and success factors, which get introduced. These result into changes in the sales management accounting of a SaaS business model. The GDPR restricts the usage of personal data in management accounting. This thesis argues that the fundamental elements of management accounting stay the same, however different key figures must be used to analyze a SaaS business model. Additional tasks are added to the responsibility of the sales management accounting. This thesis develops guidance on doing management accounting in a SaaS business model. Using a systematic literature research, the developed guidance is confirmed.

description: We introduce a notion of $(S+N)$-triangular operators in the Hilbert space using some basic ideas from triangular representation theory. Our notion generalizes the well-known notion of the spectral operators so that many properties of the $(S+N)$-triangular operators coincide with those of spectral operators. At the same time we show that wide classes of operators are $(S+N)$-triangular.

description: A time evolution operator in the interaction picture is given by exponentiating an interaction Hamiltonian $H$. Important examples of Hamiltonians, often encountered in quantum optics, condensed matter and high energy physics, are of a general form $H=r(A^\dagger-A)$, where $A$ is a multimode boson operator and $r$ is the coupling constant. If no simple factorization formula for the evolution operator exists, the calculation of the evolution operator is a notoriously difficult problem. In this case the only available option may be to Taylor expand the operator in $r$ and act on a state of interest $ψ$. But this brute-force method quickly hits the complexity barrier since the number of evaluated expressions increases exponentially. We relate a combinatorial structure called Dyck paths to the action of a boson word (monomial) and a large class of monomial sums on a quantum state $ψ$. This allows us to cross the exponential gap and make the problem of a boson unitary operator evaluation computationally tractable by achieving polynomial-time complexity for an extensive family of physically interesting multimode Hamiltonians. We further test our method on a cubic boson Hamiltonian whose Taylor series is known to diverge for all nonzero values of the coupling constant and an analytic continuation via a Padé approximant must be performed.

description: The nutritional diversity in leaves of twelve accessions of four amaranth species (Amaranthus caudatus, A. cruentus, A. hybridus, A. hypochondriacus) was studied in a randomized complete block design (n = 5). The accessions revealed high contents of the macronutrients K, Ca, Mg, and P, while the micronutrients Fe and Zn were comparatively low (542 – 717, 304 – 497, 131 – 230, 74 – 166, 0.9 – 1.3, 0.4 – 0.9 mg 100 g-1 fresh weight, respectively). Protein contents were found to be higher (23 – 32%) compared to other commonly consumed leafy vegetables in Sub-Saharan-Africa. Phenolic acid and flavonoid contents strongly varied between accessions and to some extent were lower in comparison to those reported in literature. Amaranth is reported to be drought tolerant, thus, one accession of each species was subjected to two different drought stress conditions (moderate – 35 – 45% field capacity, severe – 15 – 25% field capacity, n = 3). Well-watered plants were used as control (60 – 70% field capacity). A significant reduction in plant height and fresh matter occurred in all accessions with increasing drought stress, whereas contents of nutritional compounds increased. Phenolic acids and flavonoid contents in all accessions/species were not affected by drought stress except for A. cruentus where total phenolic acids significantly increased

description: Conserving genetic connectivity is fundamental to species persistence, yet rarely is made actionable into spatial planning for imperilled species. Climate change and habitat degradation have added urgency to embrace connectivity into networks of protected areas. Our two-step process integrates a network model with a functional connectivity model, to identify population centres important to maintaining genetic connectivity then to delineate those pathways most likely to facilitate connectivity thereamong for the greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus), a species of conservation concern ranging across eleven western US states and into two Canadian provinces. This replicable process yielded spatial action maps, able to be prioritized by importance to maintaining range-wide genetic connectivity. We used these maps to investigate the efficacy of 3.2 million ha designated as priority areas for conservation (PACs) to encompass functional connectivity. We discovered that PACs encompassed 41.1% of cumulative functional connectivity—twice the amount of connectivity as random—and disproportionately encompassed the highest-connectivity landscapes. Comparing spatial action maps to impedances to connectivity such as cultivation and woodland expansion allows both planning for future management and tracking outcomes from past efforts.
