title: The Reformulated Learned Helplessness Theory: A Review and Investigation
Creators: name: Travers, Katrina M

subject: Explanatory style

description: The reformulated learned helplessness (RLH) theory and its associated construct of explanatory style have been extensively tested against variables such as depression, short term health, and achievement, particularly since a measure of explanatory style, the Attributional Style Questionnaire (ASQ), was developed in 1982. Despite being extensively investigated, results can only be best described as mixed and inconclusive. It is argued that this is because: (a) the internality dimension of explanatory style is poorly defined and the items within the ASQ written to measure internality are not reliable or valid; (b) the ASQ itself has not been demonstrated to have structural validity, and (c) the definition of explanatory style in the literature is not uniform. For this reason, a series of seven studies was conducted in order to address these weaknesses. Specifically, three aims were nominated, including (a) to develop a valid and reliable measure of all dimensions of explanatory style, (b) to establish the construct validity of the new measure of explanatory style against variables already investigated in this line of research (depression, short term health, and achievement), and (c) to extend the RLH theory to novel variables, using the new measure of explanatory style.

description: The FRONTIERS project brings together expertise from the fields of Particle Physics, Gravitational Wave Astronomy, Astrophysics, Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics, Science Education and Teacher Training in order to facilitate the introduction of frontier Physics in K12 education. To achieve this goal, the FRONTIERS consortium propose a set of 25 best outreach practices, which can be used as a source of inspiration, in order to create a series of innovative educational scenarios which follow a proposed pedagogical framework: the FRONTIERS demonstrators. These best outreach practices have been identified using a set of quality criteria. Intellectual Output 1 presents: a presentation of the best practices evaluation criteria (Section 1), an overview of the selected best outreach practices with analysis (Section 2), a presentation of the analysis regarding the overall and individual characteristics of the proposed practices (Section 3) and the final conclusions and future outlook regarding the connection of the proposed practices with the FRONTIERS demonstrators. The latter will be discussed in Output 2.

description: The distortion of the regular motion in a quantum system by its coupling to the continuum of decay channels is investigated. The regular motion is described by means of a Poissonian ensemble. We focus on the case of only few channels K<10. The coupling to the continuum induces two main effects, due to which the distorted system differs from a chaotic system (described by a Gaussian ensemble): 1. The width distribution for large coupling becomes broader than the corresponding $χ^2_K$ distribution in the GOE case. 2. Due to the coupling to the continuum, correlations are induced not only between the positions of the resonances but also between positions and widths. These correlations remain even in the strong coupling limit. In order to explain these results, an asymptotic expression for the width distribution is derived for the one channel case. It relates the width of a trapped resonance state to the distance between its two neighboring levels.

description: Making decisions in complex environments is a key challenge in artificial intelligence (AI). Situations involving multiple decision makers are particularly complex, leading to computational intractability of principled solution methods. A body of work in AI has tried to mitigate this problem by trying to distill interaction to its essence: how does the policy of one agent influence another agent? If we can find more compact representations of such influence, this can help us deal with the complexity, for instance by searching the space of influences rather than the space of policies. However, so far these notions of influence have been restricted in their applicability to special cases of interaction. In this paper we formalize influence-based abstraction (IBA), which facilitates the elimination of latent state factors without any loss in value, for a very general class of problems described as factored partially observable stochastic games (fPOSGs). On the one hand, this generalizes existing descriptions of influence, and thus can serve as the foundation for improvements in scalability and other insights in decision making in complex multiagent settings. On the other hand, since the presence of other agents can be seen as a generalization of single agent settings, our formulation of IBA also provides a sufficient statistic for decision making under abstraction for a single agent. We also give a detailed discussion of the relations to such previous works, identifying new insights and interpretations of these approaches. In these ways, this paper deepens our understanding of abstraction in a wide range of sequential decision making settings, providing the basis for new approaches and algorithms for a large class of problems.

description: The root-knot nematode (RKN) Meloidogyne spp. incurs substantial economic losses in vegetable crops. The present investigation involved glass-house-based screening performed by artificial inoculation of a set of 62 cauliflower accessions against RKN infestation. The PAUCE-292 genotype exhibited a resistant reaction to RKN infestation while genotypes PAUCE-15, PAUCE-16, PAUCE-19C and PAUCM-PI exhibited a moderately resistant reaction. Nematode inoculation reduced various growth parameters including plant height, plant weight and root length as compared to control but a higher percent reduction was recorded for the susceptible and highly susceptible genotypes. The root galling intensity was recorded to be high in susceptible and highly susceptible genotypes. The root-morphoanatomy studies on selected genotypes revealed no specific association of the studied traits with RKN reaction. But, optical microscopy revealed elaborate lignification and gall formation on RKN inoculation in susceptible PAUCM-SD3 and highly susceptible PAUCM-STAR accessions. The total phenol and flavonoid contents were maintained at significantly high levels in resistant genotype(s) in the initial 2.5-week post-inoculation of nematode juveniles. Therefore, this study provides biochemical cues on the mechanism of RKN resistance in cauliflower accessions.

description: This dissertation focuses on the role of George Maciunas as “chairman” of the neo-avant-garde movement Fluxus. Its introductory chapter provides an overview and assessment of Fluxus scholarship, and advances the argument that Maciunas established an intersection between post-Cage aesthetics and postwar administration. The succeeding chapters situate Maciunas’s work in relation to apparatuses regulating education, circulation, production, and health care. Taking as its primary objects Maciunas’s “paperwork”—his visually striking charts, newsletters, card files, architectural plans, and other documents—this study shows how Maciunas employed administrative techniques to build the infrastructure for Fluxus’s collective practice and, concurrently, drew on Fluxus’s aesthetic tactics to disrupt or evade state regulation. Chapter two, “Card Files & Charts,” reconstructs how Maciunas’s training in the professions of architecture and art history was applied to organizing Fluxus’s publications and concerts; Chapter three, “Newsletters & Postcards,” traces Maciunas’s maintenance of an international Fluxus network via the postal service; Chapter four, “Registrations & Catalogs,” reveals how Maciunas codified Fluxus’s negotiation of individual and collective authorship within the legal framework of US copyright law; and, finally, Chapter five, “Prescriptions,” locates in Maciunas’s performances a body marked by medical administration.

description: Evidence is presented to suggest that, in three dimensions, spherical 6-designs with N points exist for N=24, 26, >= 28; 7-designs for N=24, 30, 32, 34, >= 36; 8-designs for N=36, 40, 42, >= 44; 9-designs for N=48, 50, 52, >= 54; 10-designs for N=60, 62, >= 64; 11-designs for N=70, 72, >= 74; and 12-designs for N=84, >= 86. The existence of some of these designs is established analytically, while others are given by very accurate numerical coordinates. The 24-point 7-design was first found by McLaren in 1963, and -- although not identified as such by McLaren -- consists of the vertices of an "improved" snub cube, obtained from Archimedes' regular snub cube (which is only a 3-design) by slightly shrinking each square face and expanding each triangular face. 5-designs with 23 and 25 points are presented which, taken together with earlier work of Reznick, show that 5-designs exist for N=12, 16, 18, 20, >= 22. It is conjectured, albeit with decreasing confidence for t >= 9, that these lists of t-designs are complete and that no others exist. One of the constructions gives a sequence of putative spherical t-designs with N= 12m points (m >= 2) where N = t^2/2 (1+o(1)) as t -> infinity.

George Sand and Rewriting: The Poetics of Intertextuality in George Sand's "Jacques Cycle"

description: Until now, for George Sand scholars, two main images of the Sand corpus have been dominant, “un grand fleuve d’Amérique” and “une grande oeuvre multiforme.” While both images evoke the strength and diversity of styles, approaches and genres in Sand’s literary production, they also suggest a certain vagueness in regards to the contours of this oeuvre. Moreover, when speaking about the author’s novelistic writing, scholars and the larger reading public alike often refer to her work as the “eighty or so” novels and short stories she wrote, giving the impression that her work knew no boundaries. In place of this relative sense of unruliness, I propose the vision of an oeuvre unified by a strong theory of the novel and suggest how this corpus is structured by both intertextuality and polyphony. For this purpose, I borrow from Riffaterrian theories of textuality while proposing my own theory of intertextuality in regards to its function in the Sand corpus. I explain how George Sand hands us an actual key to deciphering her entire literary production and how one can understand the theoretical implications of this literary gesture. This key is what I call the author’s “Jacques cycle,” the series of rewritings of her 1834 novel Jacques that she highlights in her 1866 novel Le Dernier Amour. There, the author speaks about Jacques and its rewritings as key novels that have followed the evolution of her thinking as a writer in addition to her reflections on societal concerns. Viewed from this perspective, Sand places intertextuality, rewriting, and metaliterary reflection at the very heart of her conception of literature on the same plane as her societal preoccupations. My dissertation consists of an Introduction, four chapters and a Conclusion. Chapter One presents George Sand's engaged stance in her "Essai sur le drame fantastique" theorizing on intertextuality. Chapter Two demonstrates how her rewriting of La Nouvelle Héloïse in Jacques enters in dialogue with the horizons d'attente associated with women's writing, while constructing what has been called a textual masculinity. Chapter Three analyzes Sand's defense of the autonomy of literature in Jacques and her article, "À propos de Lélia et de Valentine." Chapter Four theorizes on the concept of a Jacques cycle and investigates Sand's Valvèdre and Le Dernier Amour as novels rewriting Jacques in light of the movement of "l'art pour l'art." Theory is thus central in shaping the Sand corpus.

description: Interactions of ultra-high energy cosmic-rays (UHECRs) accelerated in astrophysical environments have been shown to shape the energy production rate of nuclei escaping from the confinement zone. To address the influence of hadronic interactions, Hadronic Interaction Models (HIM) come into play. In this context, we present a parameterization capable of capturing the outcomes of two distinct HIMs, namely EPOS-LHC and Sibyll2.3d, in terms of secondary fluxes, including escaping nuclei, neutrinos, photons, and electrons. Our parametrization is systematically evaluated against the source codes, both at fixed energy and mass, as well as in a physical case scenario. The comparison demonstrates that our parameterization aligns well with the source codes, establishing its reliability as a viable alternative for analytical or fast Monte Carlo approaches dedicated to the study of UHECR propagation within source environments. This suggests the potential for utilizing our parameterization as a practical substitute in studies focused on the intricate dynamics of ultra-high energy cosmic rays.

description: We apply the method of [arXiv:1705.07610] to compute the Stokes matrices of non-resonant confluent hypergeometric differential equations. We discuss the ambiguity of the presentation of the Stokes matrices regarding different choices. The results rely on an explicit description of the perverse sheaf associated to the non-confluent regular singular hypergeometric system arising via Fourier-Laplace transform. We give assumptions on the parameter such that the Stokes matrices have rational or real values. Under some more restrictive conditions, the Stokes matrices had been computed by Duval-Mitschi before. We compare our results with their formulae in the unramified case.

We extend to (fairly general) singular foliations of branched surfaces the local existence and uniqueness results which hold for genuine surfaces. Moreover we show that global uniqueness holds when restricting to tight structures. We establish branched versions of the elimination lemma. We prove a smooth version of the Gillman-Rolfsen PL-embedding theorem, deducing that branched spines can be used to construct contact structures in a given homotopy class of plane fields.

description: In relation to the 4-dimensional smooth Poincaré conjecture we construct a tentative invariant of homotopy 4-spheres using embedded contact homology (ECH) and Seiberg-Witten theory (SWF). But for good reason it is a constant value independent of the sphere, so this null-result demonstrates that one should not try to use the usual theories of ECH and SWF. On the other hand, a corollary is that there always exist pseudoholomorphic curves satisfying certain constraints in (punctured) 4-spheres.

description: This exegesis is an account of how an artist can build a sense of place or a sense of belonging to a particular place through their art-making process. Specifically, it examines how collections or taxonomies have assisted me to understand my sense of belonging, as a native of Colombia dislocated to Australia, in the face of an increasingly dislocated and hybridised world. In arguing that collections make manifest the complex emotional connections people forge with the places they inhabit, I first examine the notion of place. Then I discuss how collections can become dwellings for experiences and memories, and how people also ‘dwell’ in their collections. Gaston Bachelard’s Poetics of space offers a framework to reflect on the tensions between the intimacy of a newly developed sense of home, and the hybrid and foreign public places through which one has to go, and in which one has to dwell after geographical dislocation. Examining how contemporary artists who use collections or taxonomies in their work represent ideas of place, and how the concept of place exists through those collections I present my own ‘collection of collectors’ whose works have informed my studio practice. I conclude by reflecting on the bodies of work that I produced over the course of my research project, and analyse how successful they were in conveying ideas of place and the place-making process.

description: Quantum stabilizer codes (QSCs) suffer from a low quantum coding rate, since they have to recover the quantum bits (qubits) in the face of both bit-flip and phase-flip errors. In this treatise, we conceive a low-complexity concatenated quantum turbo code (QTC) design exhibiting a high quantum coding rate. The high quantum coding rate is achieved by combining the quantum-domain version of short-block codes (SBCs) also known as single parity check (SPC) codes as the outer codes and quantum unity-rate codes (QURCs) as the inner codes. Despite its design simplicity, the proposed QTC yields a near-hashing-bound error correction performance. For instance, compared to the best half-rate QTC known in the literature, namely the QIrCC-QURC scheme, which operates at the distance of $D = 0.037$ from the quantum hashing bound, our novel QSBC-QURC scheme can operate at the distance of $D = 0.029$. It is worth also mentioning that this is the first instantiation of QTCs capable of adjusting the quantum encoders according to the quantum coding rate required for mitigating the Pauli errors given the different depolarizing probabilities of the quantum channel.

description: Off-road autonomy validation presents unique challenges due to the unpredictable and dynamic nature of off-road environments. Traditional methods focusing on sequentially sweeping across the parameter space for variability analysis struggle to comprehensively assess the performance and safety of off-road autonomous systems within the imposed time constraints. This paper proposes leveraging scalable digital twin simulations within high-performance computing (HPC) clusters to address this challenge. By harnessing the computational power of HPC clusters, our approach aims to provide a scalable and efficient means to validate off-road autonomy algorithms, enabling rapid iteration and testing of autonomy algorithms under various conditions. We demonstrate the effectiveness of our framework through performance evaluations of the HPC cluster in terms of simulation parallelization and present the systematic variability analysis of a candidate off-road autonomy algorithm to identify potential vulnerabilities in the autonomy stack's perception, planning and control modules.

description: This dissertation offers an examination of the concept of sustainability, via an ethnography of geothermal life in the district of Puna on Hawaiʻi Island. In the midst of global discourse on climate change, population growth, and energy needs, ‘sustainability’ brands a remarkable number of initiatives to signify a thoughtful connection with earth, and concern with the continuation of all of existence. Close examination of what sustainable measures have meant for life in the district of Puna on Hawaiʻi Island, however, reveal the ties of discourses on and enactments of ‘sustainability’ and ‘sustainable’ living to the sustenance of market, colonial inheritance and renewability, and the manufacture of narratives that erase forms of existence—human and nonhuman, including and especially the geological. Examinations of the notion of ‘sustainability’ alongside currents of Kanaka ʻŌiwi inquiries into earth’s heat element and its relations, and settler experiences of geothermal activity, reveal the pliability of material Natures in the face of human desire, the graceless scaffolding of lives under Late Liberalism, and the structure of Late Liberal biases as suspended in love with the biontological—those forms deemed “Life.” In the dissertation I examine engagement points between literatures on Development, Indigeneity, and Space, in particular what they reveal about possible relationships with land and resource, as well as literatures on Foucauldian biopower and what Elizabeth Povinelli (2016) has termed “geontopower”—increasingly exposed arrangements of power as divisions between Life and Nonlife in the Late Liberal period—to think through the commodification of rock and earth, and the spaces between things where the possibility for hulihia (overturning) continues to exist.

description: Classical lattice gas automata effectively simulate physical processes such as diffusion and fluid flow (in certain parameter regimes) despite their simplicity at the microscale. Motivated by current interest in quantum computation we recently defined quantum lattice gas automata; in this paper we initiate a project to analyze which physical processes these models can effectively simulate. Studying the single particle sector of a one dimensional quantum lattice gas we find discrete analogues of plane waves and wave packets, and then investigate their behaviour in the presence of inhomogeneous potentials.

description: We adapted a recently proposed framework to characterize the optical response of interacting electrons in solids in order to expedite its computation without compromise in accuracy at the microscopic level. Our formulation is based on reliable parameterizations of Hamiltonians and Coulomb interactions, which allows economy and flexibility in obtaining response functions. It is suited to computing the optical response to fields of arbitrary temporal shape and strength, to arbitrary order in the field, and natively accounts for excitonic effects. We demonstrate the approach by computing the frequency-dependent susceptibilities of MoS2 and hexagonal BN monolayers up to the third-harmonic. Grounded on a generic non-equilibrium many-body perturbation theory, this framework allows extensions to handle generic interaction models or to describe electronic processes taking place at ultrafast time scales.

Semiclassical interference of bifurcations

description: In semiclassical studies of systems with mixed phase space, the neighbourhood of bifurcations of co-dimension two is felt strongly even though such bifurcations are ungeneric in classical mechanics. We discuss a scenario which reveals this fact and derive the correct semiclassical contribution of the bifurcating orbits to the trace of the unitary time evolution operator. That contribution has a certain collective character rather than being additive in the individual periodic orbits involved. The relevance of our observation is demonstrated by a numerical study of the kicked top; the collective contribution derived is found to considerably improve the semiclassical approximation of the trace.

description: The Cayley-Hamilton-Newton identities which generalize both the characteristic identity and the Newton relations have been recently obtained for the algebras of the RTT-type. We extend this result to a wider class of algebras M(R,F) defined by a pair of compatible solutions of the Yang-Baxter equation. This class includes the RTT-algebras as well as the Reflection equation algebras.

Gesturing at Encoding Enhances Episodic Memory Recall for Older Adults.

description: Gestures have been shown to enhance memory recall for children and adults, but little research has investigated the benefits of gesturing to recall in older adult populations. While theory suggests that older adults may be less embodied, that their cognitive and perceptual processes may be less grounded in their sensorimotor capacities, the literature is unclear on whether or not gesturing is still associated with memory in this population. To test the effect of gesturing on recall we compare 58 younger (20-29 yrs) and 62 older (60-85yrs) adults’ performance on an episodic memory recall task (immediately, and at a 3-week delay) after randomly assigning participants to two conditions (instructed gesture or free gesture). In the free gesture condition participants were allowed to freely gesture while describing 26 3-second-long vignettes. Participants in the instructed gesture condition were additionally asked to provide meaningful gestures while providing descriptions to vignettes. Analyzing observational data from the free gesture conditions, we found that both immediately and at a delay, younger and older adults recalled more of the vignettes that they had spontaneously gestured for than those that they had not gestured for. When looking at the effects of instructing gesture, we found that asking older adults to gesture increased their overall recall of vignettes at a delay when compared to older adults left to freely gesture. The same increase to recall was not found for younger adults. These findings suggest that spontaneous gesturing at encoding is just as significant to episodic memory recall for older adults as it is for younger adults, and that asking older adults to gesture may additionally benefit episodic memory for older adults.
