Narrative

description: This narrative study of schoolteachers’ experiences of yogic meditation employs the theoretical framework of yoga. It poses the research question: How do teachers story their life experiences following their adoption of a regular meditation practice? Narrative research methods are used to reveal the participants’ own perceptions of their experiences of meditation. The narratives presented include that of an educator and meditation teacher who has been practising yogic meditation for over 40 years, as well as three schoolteachers who more recently came to the practice of meditation and were experienced classroom teachers before and after taking up this practice. The findings reveal that (1) the teachers perceive their meditation practice to have a beneficial impact on their lives, and by extension their work as teachers; (2) the impact their meditation practice has on their classroom teaching may not be obvious to an outside observer. Instead it is experienced by the participants to be an internal enrichment: a transformation of their thought patterns and perceptions of feelings and events; and (3) the longer the participant has been practising meditation, and the more they have immersed themselves in the philosophical study that traditionally accompanies yogic practice, the more complex may be their understandings of their meditation experience. This research also highlights the problems with imposing Western knowledge frameworks on practices that have traditionally been accompanied by an existent theoretical framework. The researcher argues for further study of classical yogic meditation practices in light of their potential benefits for educators, with the caveat that such research should be undertaken by researchers who have experienced authentic immersion in the study of yoga and its classical philosophies.

description: We consider time-dependent perturbations which are relatively bounded with respect to the square root of an unperturbed Hamiltonian operator, and whose commutator with the latter is controlled by the full perturbed Hamiltonian. The perturbation is modulated by two auxiliary parameters, one regulates its intensity as a prefactor and the other one controls its time-scale via a regular function, whose derivative is compactly supported in a finite interval. We introduce a natural generalization of energy conservation in the case of time-dependent Hamiltonians: the boundedness of the two-parameter unitary propagator for the physical evolution with respect to the $n/2$-th power energy norm for all $n\in\mathbb{Z}$. We provide bounds of the $n/2$-th power energy norms, uniformly in time and in the time-scale parameter, for the unitary propagators, generated by the time-dependent perturbed Hamiltonian and by the unperturbed Hamiltonian in the interaction picture. The physically interesting model of Landau-type Hamiltonians with an additional weak and time-slowly-varying electric potential of unit drop is included in this framework.

description: We discuss Bayesian model uncertainty analysis and forecasting in sequential dynamic modeling of multivariate time series. The perspective is that of a decision-maker with a specific forecasting objective that guides thinking about relevant models. Based on formal Bayesian decision-theoretic reasoning, we develop a time-adaptive approach to exploring, weighting, combining and selecting models that differ in terms of predictive variables included. The adaptivity allows for changes in the sets of favored models over time, and is guided by the specific forecasting goals. A synthetic example illustrates how decision-guided variable selection differs from traditional Bayesian model uncertainty analysis and standard model averaging. An applied study in one motivating application of long-term macroeconomic forecasting highlights the utility of the new approach in terms of improving predictions as well as its ability to identify and interpret different sets of relevant models over time with respect to specific, defined forecasting goals.

description: In this paper, a continuous variable B92 quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol is proposed using single photon added and subtracted coherent states, which are prepared by adding and subsequently subtracting a single photon on a coherent state. It is established that in contrast to the traditional discrete variable B92 protocol, this protocol for QKD is intrinsically robust against the unambiguous state discrimination attack, which circumvents the requirement for any uninformative states or entanglement used in corresponding discrete variable case as a remedy for this attack. Further, it is shown that the proposed protocol is intrinsically robust against the eavesdropping strategies exploiting classical communication during basis reconciliation, such as beam splitter attack. Security against some individual attacks, key rate, and bit-error rate estimation for the proposed scheme are also provided. Specifically, the proposed scheme ensures very small bit-error rate due to properties of the states used. Thus, the proposed scheme is shown to be preferable over the corresponding discrete variable B92 protocol as well as some similar continuous variable quantum key distribution schemes.

description: Species of Cosmospora are parasites of other fungi (mycoparasites), including species belonging to the Xylariales. Based on prior taxonomic work, these fungi were determined to be highly host specific. We suspected that the association of Cosmospora and their hosts could not be a result of random chance, and tested the cospeciation of Cosmospora and the their hosts with contemporary methods (e.g., ParaFit, PACo, and Jane). The cophylogeny of Cosmospora and their hosts was found to be congruent, but only host-parasite links in more recent evolutionary lineages of the host were determined as coevolutionary. Reconciliation reconstructions determined at least five host-switch events early in the evolution of Cosmospora. Additionally, the rates of evolution between Cosmospora and their hosts were unequal. This pattern is more likely to be explained by pseudocospeciation (i.e., host switches followed by cospeciation), which also produces congruent cophylogenies.

description: The effect of two quantum state engineering processes that can be used to burn hole at vacuum in the photon number distribution of quantum states of radiation field are compared using various witnesses of lower- and higher-order nonclassicality as well as a measure of nonclassicality. Specifically, the witnesses of nonclassical properties due to the effect of vacuum state filtration and a single photon addition on an even coherent state, binomial state and Kerr state are investigated using the criteria of lower- and higher-order antibunching, squeezing and sub-Poissonian photon statistics. Further, the amount of nonclassicality present in these engineered quantum states is quantified and analyzed by using an entanglement potential based on linear entropy. It is observed that all the quantum states studied here are highly nonclassical, and on many occasions the hole burning processes are found to introduce/enhance nonclassical features. However, it is not true in general. The investigation has further revealed that despite the fact that a hole at vacuum implies a maximally nonclassical state (as far as Lee's nonclassical depth is used as the quantitative measure of nonclassicality). However, any particular process of hole burning at vacuum does not ensure the existence of a particular nonclassical feature. Specifically,lower- and higher-order squeezing are not observed for photon added even coherent state and vacuum filtered even coherent state.

description: Capillary fingering is a displacement process that can occur when a non-wetting fluid displaces a wetting fluid from a homogeneous disordered porous medium. Here, we investigate how this process is influenced by a pore size gradient. Using microfluidic experiments and computational pore-network models, we show that the non-wetting fluid displacement behavior depends sensitively on the direction and the magnitude of the gradient. The fluid displacement depends on the competition between a pore size gradient and pore-scale disorder; indeed, a sufficiently large gradient can completely suppress capillary fingering. By analyzing capillary forces at the pore scale, we identify a non-dimensional parameter that describes the physics underlying these diverse flow behaviors. Our results thus expand the understanding of flow in complex porous media, and suggest a new way to control flow behavior via the introduction of pore size gradients.

description: The aim of this paper is to introduce two widely applicable regularization methods based on the direct modification of weight matrices. The first method, Weight Reinitialization, utilizes a simplified Bayesian assumption with partially resetting a sparse subset of the parameters. The second one, Weight Shuffling, introduces an entropy- and weight distribution-invariant non-white noise to the parameters. The latter can also be interpreted as an ensemble approach. The proposed methods are evaluated on benchmark datasets, such as MNIST, CIFAR-10 or the JSB Chorales database, and also on time series modeling tasks. We report gains both regarding performance and entropy of the analyzed networks. We also made our code available as a GitHub repository (https://github.com/rpatrik96/lod-wmm-2019).

description: Long-range effective methods are ubiquitous in physics and in quantum theory, in particular. Furthermore, the reliability of such methods is higher when the nature of short-ranged interactions need not be modeled explicitly. This may be necessary for two reasons: (1) there are interactions that occur over a short range that cannot be accurately modeled with a potential function and/or (2) the entire Hamiltonian loses its reliability when applied at short distances. This work is an investigation of the utility and consequences of omitting a finite region of space from quantum mechanical analysis, accomplished by imposition of an artificial boundary behind which obscured short-ranged physical effects may operate. With this method, a free function of integration that depends on momentum is interpreted as a function encoding information needed to match a long-distance wavefunction to an appropriate state function on the other side of the boundary. Omitting part of the space from analysis implies that the strict unitarity requirement of quantum mechanics must be relaxed, since particles can actually propagate beyond the boundary. Strict orthogonality of eigenmodes and hermiticity of the Hamiltonian must also be relaxed in this method; however, all of these canonical relations are obeyed when averaged over sufficiently long times. What is achieved, therefore, appears to be an effective long-wavelength theory, at least for stationary systems. As examples, the quantum defect theory of the one-dimensional Coulomb interaction is recovered, as well as a new perspective of the inverse-square potential and the free particle, as well as the Wigner time delay associated with contact interactions. Potential applications of this method may include three-dimensional atomic systems and two-dimensional systems, such as graphene.

description: Hydrated granular packings often crack into discrete clusters of grains when dried. Despite its ubiquity, accurate prediction of cracking remains elusive. Here, we elucidate the previously overlooked role of individual grain shrinkage---a feature common to many materials---in determining crack patterning using both experiments and simulations. By extending the classical Griffith crack theory, we obtain a scaling law that quantifies how cluster size depends on the interplay between grain shrinkage, stiffness, and size---applicable to a diverse array of shrinkable, granular packings.

description: Understanding how bacteria move in porous media is critical to applications in healthcare, agriculture, environmental remediation, and chemical sensing. Recent work has demonstrated that E. coli, which moves by run-and-tumble dynamics in a homogeneous medium, exhibits a new form of motility when confined in a disordered porous medium: hopping-and-trapping motility, in which cells perform rapid, directed hops punctuated by intervals of slow, undirected trapping. Here, we use direct visualization to shed light on how these processes depend on pore-scale confinement and cellular activity. We find that hopping is determined by pore-scale confinement, and is independent of cellular activity; by contrast, trapping is determined by the competition between pore-scale confinement and cellular activity, as predicted by an entropic trapping model. These results thus help to elucidate the factors that regulate bacterial motion in porous media, and could help aid the development of new models of motility in heterogeneous environments.

description: Controlling a complex network towards a desired state is of great importance in many applications. A network can be controlled by inputting suitable external signals into some selected nodes, which are called driver nodes. Previous works found there exist two control modes in dense networks: distributed and centralized modes. For networks with the distributed mode, most of the nodes can be act as driver nodes; and those with the centralized mode, most of the nodes never be the driver nodes. Here we present an efficient algorithm to change the control type of nodes, from input nodes to redundant nodes, which is done by reversing edges of the network. We conclude four possible cases when reversing an edge and show the control mode can be changed by reversing very few in-edges of driver nodes. We evaluate the performance of our algorithm on both synthetic and real networks. The experimental results show that the control mode of a network can be easily changed by reversing a few elaborately selected edges, and the number of possible driver nodes is dramatically decreased. Our methods provide the ability to design the desired control modes of the network for different control scenarios, which may be used in many application regions.

description: Reinforcement Learning enables to train an agent via interaction with the environment. However, in the majority of real-world scenarios, the extrinsic feedback is sparse or not sufficient, thus intrinsic reward formulations are needed to successfully train the agent. This work investigates and extends the paradigm of curiosity-driven exploration. First, a probabilistic approach is taken to exploit the advantages of the attention mechanism, which is successfully applied in other domains of Deep Learning. Combining them, we propose new methods, such as AttA2C, an extension of the Actor-Critic framework. Second, another curiosity-based approach - ICM - is extended. The proposed model utilizes attention to emphasize features for the dynamic models within ICM, moreover, we also modify the loss function, resulting in a new curiosity formulation, which we call rational curiosity. The corresponding implementation can be found at https://github.com/rpatrik96/AttA2C/.

description: Ontology Design Patterns (ODPs) have become an established and recognised practice for guaranteeing good quality ontology engineering. There are several ODP repositories where ODPs are shared as well as ontology design methodologies recommending their reuse. Performing rigorous testing is recommended as well for supporting ontology maintenance and validating the resulting resource against its motivating requirements. Nevertheless, it is less than straightforward to find guidelines on how to apply such methodologies for developing domain-specific knowledge graphs. ArCo is the knowledge graph of Italian Cultural Heritage and has been developed by using eXtreme Design (XD), an ODP- and test-driven methodology. During its development, XD has been adapted to the need of the CH domain e.g. gathering requirements from an open, diverse community of consumers, a new ODP has been defined and many have been specialised to address specific CH requirements. This paper presents ArCo and describes how to apply XD to the development and validation of a CH knowledge graph, also detailing the (intellectual) process implemented for matching the encountered modelling problems to ODPs. Relevant contributions also include a novel web tool for supporting unit-testing of knowledge graphs, a rigorous evaluation of ArCo, and a discussion of methodological lessons learned during ArCo development.

description: Few studies have evaluated the effects of bacteria that form associations with fungi on plant-microbial symbioses. We investigated the effects of a novel symbiotic bacterium (E226) of Epichloë, a well-researched mutualistic fungal endophyte of grasses, on perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) also associated with Epichloë. We hypothesised that E226 would promote plant growth but would not interfere with the in-planta growth of Epichloë and its production of antiherbivore alkaloids. E226, identified as Micrococcus luteus, formed an ectosymbiotic relationship with Epichloë when cultured on artificial media (i.e., bacterial cells were located on the hyphal surface) and possessed plant-growth promoting traits identified through whole genome analysis. Seeds of L. perenne, already colonised by an Epichloë strain, were inoculated with E226. The bacterium established within the seedlings, and the abundance of M. luteus populations initially increased with plant age. In agreement with our hypotheses, plant inoculation with E226 enhanced the production of leaves and did not affect the growth of Epichloë or the concentration of Epichloë-derived alkaloids. The putative abilities of E226 to solubilise phosphate and produce vitamins and metabolic cofactors may explain the observed plant growth promotion.

description: I overview recent research advances in Bayesian state-space modeling of multivariate time series. A main focus is on the decouple/recouple concept that enables application of state-space models to increasingly large-scale data, applying to continuous or discrete time series outcomes. The scope includes large-scale dynamic graphical models for forecasting and multivariate volatility analysis in areas such as economics and finance, multi-scale approaches for forecasting discrete/count time series in areas such as commercial sales and demand forecasting, and dynamic network flow models for areas including internet traffic monitoring. In applications, explicit forecasting, monitoring and decision goals are paramount and should factor into model assessment and comparison, a perspective that is highlighted.

description: The motion of a two-dimensional buoyant vortex patch, i.e. a vortex patch with a uniform density different from the uniform density of the surrounding fluid, is analyzed in terms of evolution equations for the motion of its centroid, deformation of its boundary and the strength of a vortex sheet which is essential to enforce pressure continuity across the boundary. The equations for the centroid are derived by a linear momentum analysis and that for the sheet strength by applying Euler's equations on the boundary, while the boundary deformation is studied in the centroid-fixed frame. A complicated coupled set of equations is obtained which, to the best of our knowledge, has not been derived before. The evolution of the sheet strength is obtained as an integral equation. The equations are also examined in the limit of a patch of vanishing size or a buoyant point vortex.
description: Corrected typos and some minor errors in the previous version. Some preliminary numerical simulations have also been included

description: Several quantum cryptographic schemes have been proposed and realized experimentally in the past. However, even with an advancement in quantum technology and escalated interest in the designing of direct secure quantum communication schemes there are not many experimental implementations of these cryptographic schemes. In this paper, we have provided a set of optical circuits for such quantum cryptographic schemes, which have not yet been realized experimentally by modifying some of our theoretically proposed secure communication schemes. Specifically, we have proposed optical designs for the implementation of two single photon and one entangled state based controlled quantum dialogue schemes and subsequently reduced our optical designs to yield simpler designs for realizing other secure quantum communication tasks, i.e., controlled deterministic secure quantum communication, quantum dialogue, quantum secure direct communication, quantum key agreement, and quantum key distribution. We have further proposed an optical design for an entanglement swapping based deterministic secure quantum communication and its controlled counterpart.

description: Observing the dynamics of compact astrophysical objects provides insights into their inner workings, thereby probing physics under extreme conditions. The immediate vicinity of an active supermassive black hole with its event horizon, photon ring, accretion disk, and relativistic jets is a perfect place to study general relativity and magneto-hydrodynamics. The observations of M87* with Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) allows to investigate its dynamical processes on time scales of days. Compared to regular radio interferometers, VLBI networks typically have fewer antennas and low signal to noise ratios (SNRs). Furthermore, the source is variable, prohibiting integration over time to improve SNR. Here, we present an imaging algorithm that copes with the data scarcity and temporal evolution, while providing uncertainty quantification. Our algorithm views the imaging task as a Bayesian inference problem of a time-varying brightness, exploits the correlation structure in time, and reconstructs a ${2+1+1}$ dimensional time-variable and spectrally resolved image at once. We apply this method to the EHT observation of M87* and validate our approach on synthetic data. The time- and frequency-resolved reconstruction of M87* confirms variable structures on the emission ring. The reconstruction indicates extended and time-variable emission structures outside the ring itself.

description: This study is designed to examine a new therapy, Self Administered Tactile Therapy (SATT), in the reduction of public speaking apprehension. Using an experimental pre/post test design, SATT was compared with the well established Visualization (VIS) intervention and a treatment that combined both SATT and VIS. Seventy-three undergraduate students enrolled in an introductory public speaking class at a western states research university were selected based on a score indicating high public speaking apprehension. They were randomly assigned to one of the three treatments and given the appropriate intervention. Results indicate the SATT intervention helped reduce public speaking apprehension pre to post. The VIS group and the combination group also helped reduce apprehension pre to post. There were no significant differences across groups indicating SATT was just as effective as the VIS group. These findings and their implications are discussed in the following dissertation.
