description: Purpose: Extemporaneous speech tasks provide an ecologically valid sample to examine speech acoustics, but differing methodologies exist in the literature for segmentation. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the utility and reliability of a segmentation approach for extemporaneous speech specified by systemic functional linguistics (SFL) and its potential research and clinical applications. Method: Ten speakers without communication disorders served as participants in this study, and they responded to self-selected extemporaneous speaking prompts. Two expert analysts and one clinician analyst utilized a segmentation procedure specified by SFL to segment the extemporaneous speech samples into clauses and clause complexes. Intra- and interrater reliability were calculated for each analyst and pair of analysts. Acoustic measures of duration, speech rate, and intercomplex pause durations were calculated for each clause complex. Results: Analyses for both intra- and interrater reliability revealed high percent agreement that was significantly greater than chance for expert and clinician analysts and between each pair of analysts (p < .001). Acoustic analyses revealed expected variation in number and duration of spoken syllables of clause complexes between and within speakers. Conclusions: The segmentation approach for extemporaneous speech specified by SFL is a reliable method for trained analysts that is informed by lexico-grammar and allows for acoustic measurement of speech production. It is also a reliable method for clinician analysts for speakers without communication disorders, and future work will investigate its utility for speakers with motor speech disorders.

Visual constituent analysis: a novel approach to annotating, constructing, and analysing large-scale visual and text-visual corpora

description: This thesis outlines the rationale, development, testing, and subsequent deployment of visual constituent analysis, a novel dualistic approach to annotating, constructing, and analysing large-scale multimodal text-visual corpora. Multimodal imagery is a feature that has been largely ignored in corpus linguistic research, primarily because of the difficulties inherent to annotating and analysing visual content at scale. In this thesis, I present two methods that attempt to solve these issues. The first, constituent tagging, serves as a novel, metadata-based approach to annotating images in a manner that ensures homogeneity and accessibility while retaining scale. The second, constituent analysis provides the first truly integrated large-scale approach to text-visual analysis through the concatenation of constituent tags and co-textual elements. Together, these two novel corpus linguistic tools allow researchers to transfer seamlessly between horizontal and vertical readings of text-visual corpora. Constituent tagging provides researchers immediate access to image filtering and searching, enabling a data driven rather than hypothesis-driven approach to multimodal corpus construction and analysis. Constituent analysis retains the quality of close in-context reading of imagery and text while adding the additional element of identifying quantitative trends. The effectiveness of constituent tagging and analysis as tools in corpus linguistic analysis of multimodal discourse is particularly evident in the analysis of over 60,000 tweets of multimodal hate speech, where the approach highlights trends and biases in the annotation process that are not otherwise apparent when using text-focused corpus linguistic tools or vision-based neural networks.

description: Le problematiche dell’identità sono rilevanti nella maggior parte dei film realizzati in Sardegna negli ultimi vent’anni da autori ‘sardi’, ossia nati e cresciuti nell’isola. Con l’avvento del nuovo millennio gli autori sembrano volersi  appropriare, quasi un riscatto, del diritto di raccontare dall’interno e con un certo orgoglio il proprio mondo dopo che per decenni era stato raccontato da altri. Nel farlo vanno alla ricerca di storie fortemente legate alla realtà locale recuperando la lingua minoritaria e cercando costruire uno stile adeguato al carattere delle opere

description: First principles band-structure calculations for large supercells of Ba$_{2}$CuO$_{4-δ}$ and La$_{2}$CuO$_{4-δ}$ with different distributions and concentrations of oxygen vacancies show that the effective doping on copper sites strongly depends on where the vacancy is located. A vacancy within the Cu layer produces a weak doping effect while a vacancy located at an apical oxygen site acts as a stronger electron dopant on the copper layers and gradually brings the electronic structure close to that of La$_{2-x}$Sr$_x$CuO$_{4}$. These effects are robust and only depend marginally on lattice distortions. Our results show that deoxygenation can reduce the effect of traditional La/Sr or La/Nd substitutions. Our study clearly identifies location of the dopant in the crystal structure as an important factor in doping of the cuprate planes.

description: We consider back-reaction by non-supersymmetric D7/anti-D7 probe branes in the Kuperstein-Sonnenschein model at finite temperature. Using the smearing technique, we obtain an analytical solution for the back-reacted background to leading order in N_f/N_c. This back-reaction explicitly breaks the conformal invariance and introduces a dimension 6 operator in the dual field theory which is an irrelevant deformation of the original conformal field theory. We further probe this back-reacted background by introducing an additional set of probe brane/anti-brane. This additional probe sector undergoes a chiral phase transition at finite temperature, which is absent when the back-reaction vanishes. We investigate the corresponding phase diagram and the thermodynamics associated with this phase transition. We also argue that additional probes do not suffer from any instability caused by the back-reaction, which suggests that this system is stable beyond the probe limit.

description: While standard solar model (SSM) predictions depend on approximately 20 input parameters, SSM neutrino flux predictions are strongly correlated with a single model output parameter, the core temperature $T_c$. Consequently, one can extract physics from solar neutrino flux measurements while minimizing the consequences of SSM uncertainties, by studying flux ratios with appropriate power-law weightings tuned to cancel this $T_c$ dependence. We re-examine an idea for constraining the primordial C+N content of the solar core from a ratio of CN-cycle $^{15}$O to pp-chain $^8$B neutrino fluxes, showing that nonnuclear SSM uncertainties in the ratio are small and effectively governed by a single parameter, the diffusion coefficient. We point out that measurements of both CN-I cycle neutrino branches -- $^{15}$O and $^{13}$N $β$-decay -- could in principle lead to separate determinations of the core C and N abundances, due to out-of-equilibrium CN-cycle burning in the cooler outer layers of the solar core. Finally, we show that the strategy of constructing "minimum uncertainty" neutrino flux ratios can also test other properties of the SSM. In particular, we demonstrate that a weighted ratio of $^7$Be and $^8$B fluxes constrains a product of S-factors to the same precision currently possible with laboratory data.

description: We report low resolution near infrared spectroscopic observations of the eruptive star FU Orionis using the Integral Field Spectrograph Project 1640 installed at the Palomar Hale telescope. This work focuses on elucidating the nature of the faint source, located 0.5" south of FU Ori, and identified in 2003 as FU Ori S. We first use our observations in conjunction with published data to demonstrate that the two stars are indeed physically associated and form a true binary pair. We then proceed to extract J and H band spectro-photometry using the damped LOCI algorithm, a reduction method tailored for high contrast science with IFS. This is the first communication reporting the high accuracy of this technique, pioneered by the Project 1640 team, on a faint astronomical source. We use our low resolution near infrared spectrum in conjunction with 10.2 micron interferometric data to constrain the infrared excess of FU Ori S. We then focus on estimating the bulk physical properties of FU Ori S. Our models lead to estimates of an object heavily reddened, A_V =8-12, with an effective temperature of ~ 4000-6500 K . Finally we put these results in the context of the FU Ori N-S system and argue that our analysis provides evidence that FU Ori S might be the more massive component of this binary system
Piecewise Linear Patch Reconstruction for Segmentation and Description of Non-smooth Image Structures

description: In this paper, we propose a unified energy minimization model for the segmentation of non-smooth image structures. The energy of piecewise linear patch reconstruction is considered as an objective measure of the quality of the segmentation of non-smooth structures. The segmentation is achieved by minimizing the single energy without any separate process of feature extraction. We also prove that the error of segmentation is bounded by the proposed energy functional, meaning that minimizing the proposed energy leads to reducing the error of segmentation. As a by-product, our method produces a dictionary of optimized orthonormal descriptors for each segmented region. The unique feature of our method is that it achieves the simultaneous segmentation and description for non-smooth image structures under the same optimization framework. The experiments validate our theoretical claims and show the clear superior performance of our methods over other related methods for segmentation of various image textures. We show that our model can be coupled with the piecewise smooth model to handle both smooth and non-smooth structures, and we demonstrate that the proposed model is capable of coping with multiple different regions through the one-against-all strategy.

description: Bei der Ausweitung der unbemannten menschlichen Präsenz in unserem Sonnensystem und darüber hinaus spielt die schnelle Überwindung großer Distanzen eine immer stärkere Rolle in der Konzeption von Raumfahrzeugen. Die Verwendung herkömmlicher Antriebe stößt dabei schnell an ihre Grenzen. Die Verwendung von Sonnensegeln auf Basis von Aerographit schafft eine Möglichkeit dieses Problem zu überwinden. Aufgrund seiner geringen Materialdichte werden für ein Raumfahrzeug mit Aerographitsegelantrieb hohe Schubkräfte prognostiziert. Daraus ergibt sich die Frage: Ist es möglich unter Verwendung von Aerographitsegeln den Erdorbit zu verlassen?
 In der vorliegenden Diplomarbeit wurden darauf aufbauend Analysen zur Trajektorienberechnung durchgeführt. Ausgehend von einem Erdorbit wurden in verschiedenen Startszenarien mehrere Ziele klassifiziert (Mond, Mars, Interstellarer Raum). Mit Hilfe der Python Library poliastro wurden entsprechend der Startszenarien Simulationen erstellt. Ziel dieser Simulationen ist es zu erforschen, welche Parameter die Trajektorien beeinflussen, welche Orbitausrichtungen erforderlich und welche kinematischen Größen (Beschleunigung, Geschwindigkeit, Transferzeiten etc.) in Hinblick auf eine vorgegebene Konfiguration des Raumfahrzeugs zu erwarten sind. With the expansion of unmanned human presence in our solar system and beyond, the rapid traversal of large distances is playing an increasingly important role in spacecraft design. The use of conventional propulsion systems quickly reaches its limits. The use of solar sails based on aerographite creates a possibility to overcome this problem. Due to its low material density, high thrust forces are predicted for a spacecraft with aerographite sail propulsion. This leads to the question: Is it possible to leave the Earth’s orbit using aerographite sails?
 In the present diploma thesis, analyses for trajectory calculation were performed based on this question. Starting from an Earth orbit, several targets were classified in different launch scenarios (Moon, Mars, Interstellar Space). Using the Python Library poliastro, simulations were created according to the launch scenarios. The goal of these simulations is to explore which parameters influence the trajectories, which orbit orientations are required and which kinematic quantities (acceleration, velocity, transfer times, etc.) can be expected with respect to a given configuration of the spacecraft.

description: Performance of autonomous pH sensors is evaluated by comparing in situ data to independent bench-top measurements of pH and to co-located pH, O2, and pCO2 sensors. While the best practice is always to deploy a properly calibrated sensor, the lengthy time period required for sensor conditioning and calibration often results in sensor deployment without comprehensive calibration. Quality control (QC) procedures are examined to determine the errors associated with different in situ calibration approaches and lay a framework for best practices. Sensor packages employing the Honeywell Durafet remained stable across multiple deployments for over nine months. However, sensor performance was often limited by biofouling. Regional empirical relationships for estimating carbonate system parameters are shown to enable identification of otherwise indistinguishable sensor offset and drift when multiple sensor types are co-located. Uncertainty is determined by calibration approach and must be quantified on a case-by-case basis. Our results indicate that the Durafet is capable of accuracy, relative to a chosen reference, of better than 0.03 pH units over multiple months. Accuracy is improved when a robust shore-side calibration is performed, an independent means of QC is available throughout a deployment, and effective biofouling prevention measures are taken.

description: We present micro-PIV measurements of suspended microparticles of diameters from 0.6 um to 10 um undergoing acoustophoresis in an ultrasound symmetry plane in a microchannel. The motion of the smallest particles are dominated by the Stokes drag from the induced acoustic streaming flow, while the motion of the largest particles are dominated by the acoustic radiation force. For all particle sizes we predict theoretically how much of the particle velocity is due to radiation and streaming, respectively. These predictions include corrections for particle-wall interactions and ultrasonic thermoviscous effects, and they match our measurements within the experimental uncertainty. Finally, we predict theoretically and confirm experimentally that the ratio between the acoustic radiation- and streaming-induced particle velocities is proportional to the square of the particle size, the actuation frequency and the acoustic contrast factor, while it is inversely proportional to the kinematic viscosity.

description: This study was carried out to investigate the causes and effects of vehicle breakdown and road accidents in Delta State, across the three Senatorial Districts, using purposive random sampling technique with emphasis on convenience sampling technique to sample out the various respondents for the study. The objectives of the study were to determine the causes of frequent vehicle breakdown, assess the level of competence of vehicle mechanics, and the type of maintenance required to mitigate frequent vehicle breakdown in Delta State. The result on the causes emerged that lack of good maintenance culture was the major cause of vehicular breakdown and accidents as many drivers do not check their vehicles daily before use, no respect for road safety regulations, high alcoholic intake of drivers, over speeding and driving while making or receiving calls, and overloading of passengers/goods were some of the discussed causes. The study exposed the incompetence of many of our vehicle mechanics and the need to engage them in vocational and technical training and certification to enable them acquire the prevailing technology and entrepreneurial skills. Finally the study recommends that, there should be Government/private partnership to train mechanics, provide heavy duty towing trucks to clear breakdown vehicles and the Law Enforcement Operatives should be strict in their operations with more public education

description: NSV 11749 is a little-studied variable star, discovered by W. J. Luyten, which had a long-duration outburst around the year 1903, reaching blue magnitude 12.5 at maximum. Following the outburst, it has apparently been quiescent at about blue magnitude 17 for the past century. It was recently suggested that NSV 11749 may have been a low- or intermediate-mass star that underwent a final helium shell flash, making it temporarily a "born-again" red giant. If so, it would be only the fourth known member of this class, along with V605 Aql, FG Sge, and V4334 Sgr. However, our newly obtained optical and near-IR spectra of the object show that it is instead a symbiotic binary, with strong Balmer and He I-II emission lines, combined with a cool red-giant companion of spectral type M1-2 III. The 1903 outburst was most likely a symbiotic nova event, of which less than a dozen are known at present.

description: We present ALMA continuum and spectral line observations of the young Brown Dwarf rho-Oph 102 at about 0.89 mm and 3.2 mm. We detect dust emission from the disk at these wavelengths and derive an upper limit on the radius of the dusty disk of ~ 40 AU. The derived variation of the dust opacity with frequency in the mm provides evidence for the presence of mm-sized grains in the disk outer regions. This result demonstrates that mm-grains are found even in the low density environments of Brown Dwarf disks and challenges our current understanding of dust evolution in disks. The CO map at 345 GHz clearly reveals molecular gas emission at the location of the Brown Dwarf, indicating a gas-rich disk as typically found for disks surrounding young pre-Main Sequence stars. We derive a disk mass of ~ 0.3-1% of the mass of the central Brown Dwarf, similar to the typical values found for disks around more massive young stars.

description: We present results from a study of optically emitting Supernova Remnants (SNRs) in six nearby galaxies (NGC 2403, NGC 3077, NGC 4214, NGC 4395, NGC 4449 and NGC 5204) based on deep narrow band Hα and [SII] images as well as spectroscopic observations. The SNR classification was based on the detected sources that fulfill the well-established emission line flux criterion of [SII]/Hα > 0.4. This study revealed ~400 photometric SNRs down to a limiting Hα flux of 10^(-15) erg sec^(-1) cm^(-2). Spectroscopic observations confirmed the shock-excited nature of 56 out of the 96 sources with ([SII]/Hα)$_{phot}$> 0.3 (our limit for an SNR classification) for which we obtained spectra. 11 more sources were spectroscopically identified as SNRs although their photometric [SII]/Hα ratio was below 0.3. We discuss the properties of the optically-detected SNRs in our sample for different types of galaxies and hence different environments, in order to address their connection with the surrounding interstellar medium. We find that there is a difference in [NII]/Hα line ratios of the SNR populations between different types of galaxies which indicates that this happens due to metallicity. We cross-correlate parameters of the optically detected SNRs ([SII]/Hα ratio, luminosity) with parameters of coincident X- ray emitting SNRs, resulted from our previous studies in the same sample of galaxies, in order to understand their evolution and investigate possible selection effects. We do not find a correlation between their Hα and X-ray luminosities, which we attribute to the presence of material in a wide range of temperatures. We also find evidence for a linear relation between the number of luminous optical SNRs (10^(37) erg sec^(-1)) and SFR in our sample of galaxies.

description: The Arctic marine environment plays an important role in the global carbon cycle. However, there remain large uncertainties in how sea ice affects air–sea fluxes of carbon dioxide (CO2), partially due to disagreement between the two main methods (enclosure and eddy covariance) for measuring CO2 flux (FCO2). The enclosure method has appeared to produce more credible FCO2 than eddy covariance (EC), but is not suited for collecting long-term, ecosystem-scale flux datasets in such remote regions. Here we describe the design and performance of an EC system to measure FCO2 over landfast sea ice that addresses the shortcomings of previous EC systems. The system was installed on a 10 m tower on Qikirtaarjuk Island – a small rock outcrop in Dease Strait located roughly 35 km west of Cambridge Bay, Nunavut, in the Canadian Arctic Archipelago. The system incorporates recent developments in the field of air–sea gas exchange by measuring atmospheric CO2 using a closed-path infrared gas analyzer (IRGA) with a dried sample airstream, thus avoiding the known water vapor issues associated with using open-path IRGAs in low-flux environments. A description of the methods and the results from 4 months of continuous flux measurements from May through August 2017 are presented, highlighting the winter to summer transition from ice cover to open water. We show that the dried, closed-path EC system greatly reduces the magnitude of measured FCO2 compared to simultaneous open-path EC measurements, and for the first time reconciles EC and enclosure flux measurements over sea ice. This novel EC installation is capable of operating year-round on solar and wind power, and therefore promises to deliver new insights into the magnitude of CO2 fluxes and their driving processes through the annual sea ice cycle.

description: The linear optical absorption spectra in neutral boron cluster B$_{6}$ and cationic B$_{6}^{+}$ are calculated using a first principles correlated electron approach. The geometries of several low-lying isomers of these clusters were optimized at the coupled-cluster singles doubles (CCSD) level of theory. With these optimized ground-state geometries, excited states of different isomers were computed using the singles configuration-interaction (SCI) approach. The many body wavefunctions of various excited states have been analysed and the nature of optical excitation involved are found to be of collective, plasmonic type.

description: Prior work has found that a variety of terrestrial planetary compositions are expected to occur within known extrasolar planetary systems. However, such studies ignored the effects of giant planet migration, which is thought to be very common in extra-solar systems. Here we present calculations of the compositions of terrestrial planets that formed in dynamical simulations incorporating varying degrees of giant planet migration. We used chemical equilibrium models of the solid material present in the disks of five known planetary host stars: the Sun, GJ 777, HD4203, HD19994 and HD213240. Giant planet migration has a strong effect on the compositions of simulated terrestrial planets as the migration results large-scale mixing between terrestrial planet building blocks that condensed at a range of temperatures. This mixing acts to 1) increase the typical abundance of Mg-rich silicates in the terrestrial planets feeding zones and thus increase the frequency of planets with Earth-like compositions compared with simulations with static giant planet orbits; and 2) drastically increase the efficiency of the delivery of hydrous phases (water and serpentine) to terrestrial planets and thus produce water worlds and/or wet Earths. Our results demonstrate that although a wide variety of terrestrial planet compositions can still be produced, planets with Earth-like compositions should be common within extrasolar planetary systems.

description: Due to the exquisite photometric precision, transiting exoplanet discoveries from the Kepler mission are enabling several new techniques of confirmation and characterization. One of these newly accessible techniques analyzes the phase variations of planets as they orbit their stars. The predicted phase variation for multi-planet systems can become rapidly complicated and depends upon the period, radius, and albedo distributions for planets in the system. Here we describe the confusion which may occur due to short-period terrestrial planets and/or non-transiting planets in a system, which can add high-frequency correlated noise or low-frequency trends to the data stream. We describe these sources of ambiguity with several examples, including that of our Solar System. We further show how decoupling of these signals may be achieved with application to the Kepler-20 and Kepler-33 multi-planet systems.

description: The BATS-R-US MHD code is used to describe the large-scale structure of the magnetosphere whereby the model parameters are constrained by multi spacecraft Cluster data in the post-noon high-latitude magnetopause region. We discuss the potentials of the model in combination with the experimental data to accurately describe the dynamics of these regions in three-dimensions. A major aspect of this potential is to make predictions about the configuration of flux tubes at the magnetopause boundary and to visualize the open flux tubes passing by the spacecraft and observed simultaneously by ionospheric radars.

description: In this work, we study the collision of an atomic dark-bright soliton, in a two-component Bose-Einstein condensate, with a Gaussian barrier or well. First, we present the results of an experiment, illustrating the classical particle phenomenology (transmission or reflection) in the case of an equal barrier or well in both components. Then, motivated by the experimental observations, we perform systematic simulations considering not only the case of equal heights, but also the considerably more complex setting, where the potential affects only one of the two components. We systematically classify the ensuing cases within a two-parameter diagram of barrier amplitudes in the two components, and provide intuitive explanations for the resulting observations, as well as of their variations as the size of the barrier changes.

description: Under certain circumstances such as lack of information or bounded rationality, human players can take decisions on which strategy to choose in a game on the basis of simple opinions. These opinions can be modified after each round by observing own or others payoff results but can be also modified after interchanging impressions with other players. In this way, the update of the strategies can become a question that goes beyond simple evolutionary rules based on fitness and become a social issue. In this work, we explore this scenario by coupling a game with an opinion dynamics model. The opinion is represented by a continuous variable that corresponds to the certainty of the agents respect to which strategy is best. The opinions transform into actions by making the selection of an strategy a stochastic event with a probability regulated by the opinion. A certain regard for the previous round payoff is included but the main update rules of the opinion are given by a model inspired in social interchanges. We find that the dynamics fixed points of the coupled model is different from those of the evolutionary game or the opinion models alone. Furthermore, new features emerge such as the resilience of the fraction of cooperators to the topology of the social interaction network or to the presence of a small fraction of extremist players.
