description: Background Enrichment of home cages in laboratory experiments offers clear advantages, but has been criticized in some respects. First, there is a lack of definition, which makes methodological uniformity difficult. Second, there is concern that the enrichment of home cages may increase the variance of results in experiments. Here, the influence of more natural housing conditions on physiological parameters of female C57BL/6J mice was investigated from an animal welfare point of view. For this purpose, the animals were kept in three different housing conditions: conventional cage housing, enriched housing and the semi naturalistic environment. The focus was on musculoskeletal changes after long-term environmental enrichment. Results The housing conditions had a long-term effect on the body weight of the test animals. The more complex and natural the home cage, the heavier the animals. This was associated with increased adipose deposits in the animals. There were no significant changes in muscle and bone characteristics except for single clues (femur diameter, bone resorption marker CTX-1). Additionally, the animals in the semi naturalistic environment (SNE) were found to have the fewest bone anomalies. Housing in the SNE appears to have the least effect on stress hormone concentrations. The lowest oxygen uptake was observed in enriched cage housing. Conclusions Despite increasing values, observed body weights were in the normal and strain-typical range. Overall, musculoskeletal parameters were slightly improved and age-related effects appear to have been attenuated. The variances in the results were not increased by more natural housing. This confirms the suitability of the applied housing conditions to ensure and increase animal welfare in laboratory experiments.

description: With the emergence of multi-standard and cognitive radios, the need for reconfigurable RF circuits increased. Such circuits require wide-band quadrature voltage controlled oscillators (QVCOs) to provide the local oscillator (LO) signal for up and down conversion. Wide-band QVCOs performance has lagged behind their narrowband VCO counterparts and numerous circuit techniques have been introduced to bridge the gap. This dissertation presents techniques that have been used to implement wide-band reconfigurable QVCOs with focus on dual-resonance based circuits. System and circuit analysis are performed to understand the tuning-range, phase noise, and power tradeoffs and to consider quadrature phase errors. An 8.8-15.0 GHz actively coupled QVCO and a 13.8-20GHz passively coupled QVCO are presented. Both oscillators employ dual-resonance to achieve extended tuning ranges. Impulse sensitivity functions were used to study the impact of different passive and active device noises on the overall phase noise performance of the dual-resonance oscillator and the actively and passively coupled quadrature oscillators. The quadrature phase error due to the different architecture parameters were investigated for the actively and passively coupled quadrature oscillators. The advantages of using switched capacitor tuning as a major part of passive tuning are identified, and the advantage of employing switches with large bandwidths, such as those associated with phase change materials, is mathematically quantified. Furthermore, a novel method for accurate off chip phase error measurement using discrete components and phase shifters that does not require calibration is introduced.

description: The surface reconstruction problem from sets of planar parallel slices representing cross sections through 3D objects is presented. The final result of surface reconstruction is always based on the correct estimation of the structure of the original object. This paper is a case study of the problem of the structure determination. We present a new approach, which is based on considering mutually orthogonal sets of slices. A new method for surface reconstruction from orthogonal slices is described and the benefit of orthogonal slices is discussed too.

description: In this paper four fundamental methods for an iso-surface extraction are compared, based on cell decomposition to tetrahedra. The methods are compared both on mathematically generated data sets as well as on real data sets. The comparison using mathematical data is made from different points of view such as area approximation, volume approximation. On the other hand, the Hausdorff distance and root mean square are used to compare methods on real data sets. The presented comparison can be helpful when deciding among tested methods which one to choose, as well as when we need to compare a newly developed method with other existing approaches.

description: The superconducting gravimeter GWR iGrav 047 has been installed on the small offshore island of Heligoland in the North Sea approximately at sea level with the overall aim of high-accuracy determination of regional tidal and non-tidal ocean loading signals. For validation, a second gravimeter (gPhoneX 152) has been setup within a gravity gradiometer approach to observe temporal gravity variations in parallel on the upper land of Heligoland. This study covers the determination of regional ocean tide loading (OTL) parameters based on the two continuous gravimetric time-series after elimination of the height-dependent gravity component by empirical transfer functions between the local sea level from a nearby tide gauge and local attraction effects. After reduction of all gravity recordings to sea level, both gravimeters provide very similar height-independent OTL parameters for the eight major diurnal and semidiurnal waves with estimated amplitudes between 0.3 nm s−2 (Q1) and 11 nm s−2 (M2) and RMSE of 0.1–0.2 nm s−2 for 2 yr of iGrav 047 observations and a factor of 2 worse for 1.5 yr of gPhoneX 152 observations. The mean absolute OTL amplitude differences are 0.3 nm s−2 between iGrav 047 and gPhoneX 152, 0.4 nm s−2 between iGrav 047 and the ocean tide model FES2014b and 0.7 nm s−2 between gPhoneX 152 and FES2014b which is in good agreement with the uncertainty estimations. As by-product of this study, OTL vertical displacements are estimated from the height-independent OTL gravity results from iGrav 047 applying proportionality factors dh/dg for the eight major waves. These height-to-gravity ratios and the corresponding phase shifts are derived from FES2014b. The OTL vertical displacements from iGrav 047 are estimated with amplitudes between 0.4 mm (Q1) and 5.1 mm (M2) and RMSE of 0.1–0.7 mm. These OTL amplitudes agree with FES2014b within 0.0 (M2) and 0.8 mm (K1) with a mean difference of 0.3 mm only. The OTL amplitudes from almost 5 yr of GNSS observations show deviations of up to 6 mm (M2) compared to vertical displacements from both iGrav 047 and FES2014b, which suggests systematic effects included in the estimation of OTL vertical displacements from GNSS. With the demonstrated accuracy, height-independent sensitivity in terms of gravity and vertical displacements along with the high temporal resolution and the even better performance with length of time-series, iGrav 047 delivers the best observational signal for OTL which is representative for a large part of the North Sea.

description: Astronomy and astrophysics are witnessing dramatic increases in data volume as detectors, telescopes and computers become ever more powerful. During the last decade, sky surveys across the electromagnetic spectrum have collected hundreds of terabytes of astronomical data for hundreds of millions of sources. Over the next decade, the data volume will enter the petabyte domain, and provide accurate measurements for billions of sources. Astronomy and physics students are not traditionally trained to handle such voluminous and complex data sets. In this paper we describe astroML; an initiative, based on Python and scikit-learn, to develop a compendium of machine learning tools designed to address the statistical needs of the next generation of students and astronomical surveys. We introduce astroML and present a number of example applications that are enabled by this package.

description: Taylor's law (TL) states that the variance $V$ of a non-negative random variable is a power function of its mean $M$, i.e. $V=a M^b$. The ubiquitous empirical verification of TL, typically displaying sample exponents $b \simeq 2$, suggests a context-independent mechanism. However, theoretical studies of population dynamics predict a broad range of values of $b$. Here, we explain this apparent contradiction by using large deviations theory to derive a generalized TL in terms of sample and populations exponents $b_{jk}$ for the scaling of the $k$-th vs the $j$-th cumulant (conventional TL is recovered for $b=b_{12}$), with the sample exponent found to depend predictably on the number of observed samples. Thus, for finite numbers of observations one observes sample exponents $b_{jk}\simeq k/j$ (thus $b\simeq2$) independently of population exponents. Empirical analyses on two datasets support our theoretical results.

description: Extinction is a dominant force shaping patterns of biodiversity through time however its role as a catalyst of speciation has been overlooked. Here, we synthesize ideas alluded to by Darwin and others into the model of 'speciation-by-extinction' in which speciation results from the extinction of intermediate populations within a single geographically variable species. We explore the properties and distinguishing features of speciation-by-extinction with respect to other established speciation models. We demonstrate its plausibility by showing that the experimental extinction of populations within variable species can result in speciation. The prerequisites for speciation-by-extinction, geographically structured intraspecific variation and local extinction, are ubiquitous in nature, indicating that speciation-by-extinction may be a prevalent, but underappreciated, speciation mechanism.

description: Introduction: Reduced striatal dopamine D2/3 receptor availability in alcohol use disorder (AUD) has been demonstrated in recent clinical studies and meta-analyses. However, only a limited number of studies investigated extrastriatal D2/3 availability in AUD or in at-risk populations. In line with a dimensional understanding of addiction, extrastriatal dopaminergic neuroadaptations have been suggested to be relevant from a pathobiological perspective. Methods: We investigated D2/3 receptor availability via F-18-fallypride positron emission tomography applying a region of interest (ROI) approach. We selected ROIs for the prefrontal cortex (PFC) and the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). Our sample included 19 healthy controls (low risk [LR]), 19 individuals at high risk (HR) to develop addiction, and 20 recently detoxified AUD patients. Results: We found significantly higher D2/3 receptor availability of HR compared to AUD in the left and right rostral ACC (rACC), as well as in the left ventrolateral PFC (vlPFC). We did not observe a significant difference between AUD and LR. After corrections for multiple comparisons none of the ROIs reached significance throughout the group comparison. The D2/3 receptor availability in the left rACC was inversely correlated with symptom severity assessed with the Alcohol Dependency Scale. Discussion: To our knowledge, the present work is the first study investigating extrastriatal D2/3 receptor availabilities in individuals at HR and patients with AUD. The observation that D2/3 receptor availabilities are highest in HR might suggest that their pathobiology differs from subjects with AUD. Future studies are necessary to clarify the intraindividual course of this biomarker over different disease stages and its possible role as a risk or protective factor.

description: Aims: With the latest Gaia DR3 data, we analyse the widest pairs in the Washington Double Star (WDS) catalogue with angular separations, $ρ$, greater than 1000 arcsec. Methods: We confirmed the pair's membership to stellar systems based on common proper motions, parallaxes, and (when available) radial velocities, together with the locii of the individual components in colour-magnitude diagrams. We also looked for additional closer companions to the ultrawide pairs, either reported by WDS or found by us with a new Gaia astrometric search. In addition, we determined masses for each star (and white dwarf) and, with the projected physical separation, computed the gravitational potential energy, |Ug*|, of the systems. Results: Of the 155159 pairs currently catalogued by WDS, there are 504 with $ρ$ > 1000 arcsec. Of these, only 2 ultrawide pairs have not been identified, 10 do not have any available astrometry, 339 have not passed a conservative filtering in proper motion or parallax, 59 are members of young stellar kinematic groups, associations or open clusters, and only 94 remain as bona fide ultrawide pairs in the galactic field. Accounting for the additional members at shorter separations identified in a complementary astrometric and bibliographic search, we found 79 new stars (39 reported, plus 40 not reported by WDS) in 94 ultrawide stellar systems. This sample is expanded when including new close binary candidates with large Gaia DR3 RUWE, $σ_{Vr}$, or a proper motion anomaly. Furthermore, the large fraction of subsystems and the non-hierarchical configurations of many wide systems with three or more stars is remarkable.

title: Our Historic Mission' Party Political Pasts and Futures in Contemporary Britain
Creators: name: Robinson, Emily
Publisher: name: Goldsmiths, University of London
Year: 2010

description: The temporal positioning of political parties is an important aspect of their philosophical stance. This cannot simply be characterised as forward-facing progressivism and backwards-looking conservatism; since at least the late nineteenth century both progressive and conservative positions have involved a complex combination of nostalgia, obligation and inheritance. But while conservatives have emphasised a filial duty towards the past as enduring tradition, progressives have stressed the need to bear memories of past injustice forward, in order to achieve a different future. The contention of this thesis is that since the late 1970s these temporal positions have begun to dissolve. Both Labour and the Conservatives now favour what might be termed an 'affirmative presentist' approach to political time, whereby the present is viewed as both the 'achievement' of the past and the 'creator' of the future. There are strong affinities with a whig approach to history, particularly in the way that parliamentary politics are conceived as necessarily 'historic'. This is a clear departure from progressivism, which positions the present on an historical trajectory running from past oppressions to an imagined future. It is Similarly removed from conservatism, which roots its pragmatic approach to the present in a sense of lived continuity with the past. Affirmative presentism is based in an eternal, liminal present. It is always becoming history, becoming historic. Moreover, I suggest that this temporal positioning is in tune with wider cultural trends. Since the late 1970s, commentators have noted a growth in public nostalgia, whereby historicity is coded as authenticity - from estate agents' brochures to vintage clothing boutiques. In this cultural context, a link with the past is a valuable political commodity but the taint of anachronism or being 'stuck in the past' is to be avoided at all costs. The temporal emphasis remains firmly rooted in the present.
What is a salient object? A dataset and a baseline model for salient object detection

Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)

description: Salient object detection or salient region detection models, diverging from fixation prediction models, have traditionally been dealing with locating and segmenting the most salient object or region in a scene. While the notion of most salient object is sensible when multiple objects exist in a scene, current datasets for evaluation of saliency detection approaches often have scenes with only one single object. We introduce three main contributions in this paper: First, we take an indepth look at the problem of salient object detection by studying the relationship between where people look in scenes and what they choose as the most salient object when they are explicitly asked. Based on the agreement between fixations and saliency judgments, we then suggest that the most salient object is the one that attracts the highest fraction of fixations. Second, we provide two new less biased benchmark datasets containing scenes with multiple objects that challenge existing saliency models. Indeed, we observed a severe drop in performance of 8 state-of-the-art models on our datasets (40% to 70%). Third, we propose a very simple yet powerful model based on superpixels to be used as a baseline for model evaluation and comparison. While on par with the best models on MSRA-5K dataset, our model wins over other models on our data highlighting a serious drawback of existing models, which is convoluting the processes of locating the most salient object and its segmentation. We also provide a review and statistical analysis of some labeled scene datasets that can be used for evaluating salient object detection models. We believe that our work can greatly help remedy the over-fitting of models to existing biased datasets and opens new venues for future research in this fast-evolving field.

Manifestly Gauge Invariant Perturbations of Scalar-Tensor Theories of Gravity

description: The general relativistic perturbations of scalar-tensor theories (STT) of gravity are studied in a manifestly gauge invariant Hamiltonian formalism. After the derivation of the Hamiltonian equations of motion in this framework, the gauge invariant formalism is used to compute the evolution equations of linear perturbations around a general relativistic spacetime background in the Jordan frame. These equations are then specialized to the case of a flat FRW cosmological background. Furthermore, the equivalence between the Jordan frame and the Einstein frame of STT in the manifestly gauge invariant Hamiltonian formalism is analyzed, and it is shown that also in this framework they can be related by a conformal transformation. Finally, the obtained evolution equations for the linear perturbations in our formalism are compared with those in the standard cosmological perturbation theory. It turns out that the perturbation equations in the two different formalisms coincide with each other in a suitable limit.

Economic Voting and Populist Radical Right Parties in Europe
Creators: name: Van Vliet, Brent Michael
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2022

description: There is a robust literature which finds economic performance is a strong predictor of the electoral outcomes of incumbent governing parties. In this thesis, I test whether this assumption holds true in Europe when the incumbent party is a populist radical right party (PRR), as previous studies have found economics are not strong predictors of votes for these parties in general. I argue economic performance should be a weak predictor of incumbent vote share when the incumbent is a PRR party as voters for these parties are motivated by issues of identity, primarily immigration. Using aggregate election data and individual-level survey data from EU countries, I test this argument and find that economic performance does not have a weaker effect on PRR incumbents and find tentative evidence the effect might be stronger for these parties. However, these findings are limited by the low number of PRR incumbents in Europe.

description: Since communication skills contribute significantly to professional success among veterinarians, there is a particular focus on developing communication classes in veterinary curricula. At Freie Universität Berlin, an e-learning course covering the basics of communication and a practical communication course based on role plays with and without simulation persons have been established. The outcome of these communication courses on the assessment of the relevance of several veterinary competencies and on the self-assessment of communication skills using the SE-12 questionnaire was investigated. For this purpose, students were surveyed before and after the e-learning course as well as before and after the practical course. Veterinarians were also surveyed on the relevance of veterinary competencies. The relevance of communicative competencies for professional success was rated significantly higher by the students after completing the practical course than by the other students and the veterinarians. Self-assessment of communication skills showed little increase after the e-learning course, but a significant increase after the practical course. Thus, an effective outcome of the communication classes was observed mainly after the practical course. However, the effect of the e-learning course cannot be ruled out since the students participating in the practical course have also completed the e-learning course beforehand.

description: Strain energy from tectonic loading can be partly released through aseismic creep. Earthquake repeaters, repeatedly activated brittle fault patches surrounded by creep, indicate steady-state creep that affects the amount of seismic energy available for the next large earthquake along a plate contact. The offshore Main Marmara Fault (MMF) of the North Anatolian Fault Zone represents a seismic gap capable of generating a M > 7 earthquake in direct vicinity to the mega-city Istanbul. Based on a newly compiled seismicity catalog, we identify repeating earthquakes to resolve the spatial creep variability along the MMF during a 15-year period. We observe a maximum of seismic repeaters indicating creep along the central and western MMF segments tapering off toward the locked onshore Ganos fault in the west, and the locked offshore Princes Islands segment immediately south of Istanbul in the east. This indicates a high degree of spatial creep variability along the Istanbul-Marmara seismic gap.

In 4 of the 5 objects we find no significant traces of extended Ly$α$ emission beyond the contribution of the QSO nuclei itself, while in UM 247 there is evidence for a weak and spatially quite compact excess in the Ly$α$ line at several kpc outside the nucleus. For all objects in our sample we estimated detection limits for extended, smoothly distributed Ly$α$ emission by adding fake nebulosities into the datacubes and trying to recover them after PSF subtraction. Our observations are consistent with other studies showing that giant Ly$α$ nebulae such as those found recently around some quasars are very rare. Ly$α$ fuzz around typical radio-quiet QSOs is fainter, less extended and is therefore much harder to detect. The faintness of these structures is consistent with the idea that radio-quiet QSOs typically reside in dark matter haloes of modest masses.

description: In complex societies, individuals’ roles are reflected by interactions with other conspecifics. Honey bees (Apis mellifera) generally change tasks as they age, but developmental trajectories of individuals can vary drastically due to physiological and environmental factors. We introduce a succinct descriptor of an individual’s social network that can be obtained without interfering with the colony. This ‘network age’ accurately predicts task allocation, survival, activity patterns, and future behavior. We analyze developmental trajectories of multiple cohorts of individuals in a natural setting and identify distinct developmental pathways and critical life changes. Our findings suggest a high stability in task allocation on an individual level. We show that our method is versatile and can extract different properties from social networks, opening up a broad range of future studies. Our approach highlights the relationship of social interactions and individual traits, and provides a scalable technique for understanding how complex social systems function.

description: Coal extraction releases pollutants to the air that affect the health and well-being of not only the coal communities but also societies at large. However, coal also provides people with stable livelihoods. Given this, how do coal workers perceive air pollution that is produced by their own industry? To answer this question, I interviewed coal miners in China. My findings present a paradox: Although miners identify certain sources of air pollution, these same miners nevertheless deny the existence of air pollution. My findings reveal that, in order to collectively avoid the mention of any air quality issues, the miners must avoid a direct confrontation with authority—that same authority that has forged a formulated acquiescence among miners at work. Acknowledging air quality issues could disturb the miners’ employment stability by creating anxiety and fear, challenging their ontological security.

description: The branching fractions from the excited state $6P_{1/2}$ of singly charged barium ion has been measured with a precision $0.05%$ in an ion trap experiment. This measurement along with the known value of the upper state life-time allowed the determination of the dipole matrix elements for the transitions $P-S$ and $P-D$ to below one percent level. Therefore, for the first time it is now possible to compare the many body calculations of these matrix elements at level which is of significance to any parity non-conservation experiment on barium ion. Moreover, these dipole matrix elements are the most significant contributors to the parity violating matrix element between the $S-D$ transition, contributing upto $90%$ to the total. Our results on the dipole matrix elements are $3.306\pm0.014$ and $3.036\pm0.016$ for the $S-P$ and $P-D$ transitions respectively.

description: Density modeling is the task of learning an unknown probability density function from samples, and is one of the central problems of unsupervised machine learning. In this work, we show that there exists a density modeling problem for which fault-tolerant quantum computers can offer a superpolynomial advantage over classical learning algorithms, given standard cryptographic assumptions. Along the way, we provide a variety of additional results and insights of potential interest for proving future distribution learning separations between quantum and classical learning algorithms. Specifically, we (a) provide an overview of the relationships between hardness results in supervised learning and distribution learning, and (b) show that any weak pseudorandom function can be used to construct a classically hard density modeling problem. The latter result opens up the possibility of proving quantum-classical separations for density modeling based on weaker assumptions than those necessary for pseudorandom functions.

description: This paper presents an efficient and quantitative phase-field model for elastically heterogeneous alloys that ensures the two mechanical compatibilities$\unicode{x2014}$static and kinematic, in conjunction with chemical equilibrium within the interfacial region. Our model contrasts with existing phase-field models that either violate static compatibility or interfacial chemical equilibrium or are computationally costly. For computational efficiency, the partial rank-one homogenization (PRH) scheme is employed to enforce both static and kinematic compatibilities at the interface. Moreover, interfacial chemical equilibrium is ensured by replacing the composition field with the diffusion potential field as the independent variable of the model. Its performance is demonstrated by simulating four single-particle and one multi-particle cases for two binary two-phase alloys: Ni-Al $γ^{\prime}/γ$ and UO$_2$/void. Its accuracy is then investigated against analytical solutions. For the single-particle $γ^{\prime}/γ$ alloy, we find that the accuracy of the phase-field results remains unaffected for both planar and non-planar geometries when the PRH scheme is employed. Fortuitously, in the UO$_2$/void simulations, despite a strong elastic heterogeneity$\unicode{x2014}$the ratio of Young's modulus of the void phase to that of the UO$_2$ phase is $10^{-4}\unicode{x2014}$we find that the PRH scheme shows significantly better convergence compared to the Voigt-Taylor scheme (VTS) for both planar and non-planar geometries. Nevertheless, for the same interface width range as in the $γ^{'}/γ$ case, the interface migration in these simulations shows dependence on interface width. Contrary to the $γ^{\prime}/γ$ simulations, we also find that the simulated elastic fields show deviations from the analytical solution in the non-planar UO$_2$/void case using the PRH scheme.

description: The retrosplenial cortex (RSC) has diverse functional inputs and is engaged by various sensory, spatial, and associative learning tasks. We examine how multiple functional aspects are integrated on the single-cell level in the RSC and how the encoding of task-related parameters changes across learning. Using a visuospatial context discrimination paradigm and two-photon calcium imaging in behaving mice, a large proportion of dysgranular RSC neurons was found to encode multiple task-related dimensions while forming context-value associations across learning. During reversal learning requiring increased cognitive flexibility, we revealed an increased proportion of multidimensional encoding neurons that showed higher decoding accuracy for behaviorally relevant context-value associations. Chemogenetic inactivation of RSC led to decreased behavioral context discrimination during learning phases in which context-value associations were formed, while recall of previously formed associations remained intact. RSC inactivation resulted in a persistent positive behavioral bias in valuing contexts, indicating a role for the RSC in context-value updating.

description: Exceptional points (EPs) are degeneracy of non-Hermitian Hamiltonians, at which the eigenvalues, along with their eigenvectors, coalesce. Their orders are given by the Jordan decomposition. Here, we focus on higher-order EPs arising in fermionic systems with a sublattice symmetry, which restricts the eigenvalues of the Hamitlonian to appear in pairs of {E, -E}. Thus a naive prediction might lead to only even-order EPs at zero energy. However, we show that odd-order EPs can exist and exhibit enhanced sensitivity in the behavior of eigenvector coalescence in their neighborhood, depending on how we approach the degenerate point. The odd-order EPs can be understood as a mixture of higher-and lower-valued even-order EPs. Such an anomalous behavior is related to the irregular topology of the EPs as the subspace of the Hamiltonians in question, which is a unique feature of the Jordan blocks. The enhanced eigenvector sensitivity can be described by observing how the quantum distance to the target eigenvector converges to zero. In order to capture the eigenvector coalescence, we provide an algebraic method to describe the conditions for the existence of these EPs. This complements previous studies based on resultants and discriminants, and unveils heretofore unexplored structures of higher-order exceptional degeneracy.
