description: Abridged: Using a suite of progenitor models, neutrino luminosities, and two- dimensional (2D) simulations, we investigate the matter gravitational-wave (GW) emission from postbounce phases of neutrino-driven core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe). The relevant phases are prompt and steady-state convection, the standing accretion shock instability (SASI), and asymmetric explosions. For the stages before explosion, we propose a model for the source of GW emission. Downdrafts of the postshock-convection/SASI region strike the protoneutron star "surface" with large speeds and are decelerated by buoyancy forces. We find that the GW amplitude is set by the magnitude of deceleration and, by extension, the downdraft's speed and the vigor of postshock-convective/SASI motions. However, the characteristic frequencies, which evolve from ~100 Hz after bounce to ~300-400 Hz, are primarily independent of these speeds, but are set by the deceleration timescale, which is in turn set by the buoyancy frequency at the lower boundary of postshock convection. Consequently, the GW characteristic frequencies are dependent upon a combination of core structure attributes, specifically the dense-matter equation of state (EOS) and details that determine the gradients at the boundary, including the accretion-rate history, the EOS at subnuclear densities, and neutrino transport. During explosion, the high frequency signal wanes and is replaced by a strong low frequency, ~10s of Hz, signal that reveals the general morphology of the explosion (i.e. prolate, oblate, or spherical). However, current and near-future GW detectors are sensitive to GW power at frequencies >50 Hz. Therefore, the signature of explosion will be the abrupt reduction of detectable GW emission.

description: At energies ~>2 keV, active galactic nuclei (AGN) are the source of the cosmic X-ray background (CXB). For AGN population synthesis models to replicate the peak region of the CXB (~30 keV), a highly obscured and therefore nearly invisible class of AGN, known as Compton thick (CT) AGN, must be assumed to contribute nearly a third of the CXB. In order to constrain the CT fraction of AGN and the CT number density we consider several hard X-ray AGN luminosity functions and the contribution of blazars to the CXB. Following the unified scheme, the radio AGN luminosity function is relativistically beamed to create a radio blazar luminosity function. An average blazar spectral energy density model is created to transform radio luminosity to X-ray luminosity. We find the blazar contribution to the CXB to be 12% in the 0.5-2 keV band, 7.4% in the 2-10 keV band, 8.9% in the 15-55 keV band, and 100% in the MeV region. When blazars are included in CXB synthesis models, CT AGN are predicted to be roughly one-third of obscured AGN, in contrast to the prediction of one half if blazars are not considered. Our model implies a BL Lac X-ray duty cycle of ~13%, consistent with the concept of intermittent jet activity in low power radio galaxies.

description: Reactive oxygen species (ROS) play important roles in defence response of host plants versus pathogens. While generation and detoxification of ROS is well understood, how varied ability of different isolates of pathogens to overcome host ROS, or ROS contribution to a particular isolate's pathogenicity, remains largely unexplored. Here, we report that transcriptional regulation of ROS pathway, in combination with the insulin pathway, increases the pathogenicity of invasive species Bursaphelenchus xylophilus. The results showed a positive correlation between fecundity and pathogenicity of different nematode isolates. The virulent isolates from introduced populations in Japan, China and Europe had significantly higher fecundity than native avirulent isolates from the USA. Increased expression of Mn-SOD and reduced expression of catalase/GPX-5 and H2O2 accumulation during invasion are associated with virulent strains. Additional H2O2 could improve fecundity of B. xylophilus. Furthermore, depletion of Mn-SOD decreased fecundity and virulence of B. xylophilus, while insulin pathway is significantly affected. Thus, we propose that destructive pathogenicity of B. xylophilus to pines is partly due to upregulated fecundity modulated by insulin pathway in association with ROS pathway and further enhanced by H2O2 oxidative stress. These findings provide a better understanding of pathogenic mechanisms in plant–pathogen interactions and adaptive evolution of invasive species.This article is part of the theme issue ‘Biotic signalling sheds light on smart pest management’.

description: Random matrix theory has proven very successful in the understanding of the spectra of chaotic systems. Depending on symmetry with respect to time reversal and the presence or absence of a spin 1/2 there are three ensembles, the Gaussian orthogonal (GOE), Gaussian unitary (GUE), and Gaussian symplectic (GSE) one. With a further particle-antiparticle symmetry the chiral variants of these ensembles, the chiral orthogonal, unitary, and symplectic ensembles (the BDI, AIII, and CII in Cartan's notation) appear which are the main point of interest in this paper. Following a recently published work on chiral random matrix ensembles and their experimental realizations (Rehemanjiang et al., PRL 124, 116801 (2020)), this is achieved by using dielectric cylinders placed between two parallel aluminium plates. These cylinders act as microwave resonators which are used to create tight-binding chains of finite length up to N=5. The different ensembles are achieved by using different types of couplings: For the orthogonal case spatial proximity is used, for the unitary case microwave circulators are used, and for the symplectic case a combination of circulators and cables is used to create the necessary symmetry. In all cases the predicted repulsion behavior between positive and negative eigenvalues for energies close to zero are verified by a comparison with theory taking the finite size of the systems into account. We will show that the difference to the expected universal behavior is given by logarithmic corrections only. These corrections stem from the Hamiltonians having zero entries in their off-diagonal blocks.

description: Energy spectra of the most energetic hadrons in the core region of extensive air showers (EAS) were studied in dependence on the EAS energy $E_0$ in the hybrid experiment HADRON at the Tien Shan mountain cosmic ray station. For the first time by direct measurement it was found in this experiment that the slope of the power energy spectrum of EAS hadrons diminishes itself locally, and the average hadron energy, correspondingly, increases between the $E_0$ borders 3PeV and 20PeV. Such behavior agrees with threshold appearance in EAS, in the same energy range, of a long-flying penetrative component which was earlier revealed at the Tien Shan station. Now we reconsider this Tien Shan result in comparison with the new data of modern collider experiments. The analysis permits to state unambiguously an astrophysical nature of the penetrative EAS component, and to discuss its probable connection with the origin of the famous knee in the energy spectrum of cosmic rays at $E_0\simeq 3$ PeV.

description: We extend a recently developed galaxy morphology classification method, Quantitative Multiwavelength Morphology (QMM), to connect galaxy morphologies to their underlying physical properties. The traditional classification of galaxies approaches the problem separately through either morphological classification or, in more recent times, through analysis of physical properties. A combined approach has significant potential in producing a consistent and accurate classification scheme as well as shedding light on the origin and evolution of galaxy morphology. Here we present an analysis of a volume limited sample of 31703 galaxies from the fourth data release of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey. We use an image analysis method called Pixel-z to extract the underlying physical properties of the galaxies, which is then quantified using the concentration, asymmetry and clumpiness (CAS) parameters. The galaxies also have their multiwavelength morphologies quantified using QMM, and these results are then related to the distributed physical properties through a regression analysis. We show that this method can be used to relate the spatial distribution of physical properties with the morphological properties of galaxies.

description: The present work combines experimental and numerical analyses to improve current understanding of turbulence in stably stratified flows. An extensive literature review is presented on the mechanisms governing turbulence under stratified conditions, with a special focus on the Richardson number parameter, as it is often adopted as a switch to turn turbulence modelling on/off. Anisotropization of turbulence is investigated, as it is found to be an important mechanism for turbulence survival at any Richardson number, but usually overlooked in turbulence parameterizations. For this purpose, an experimental dataset previously collected over an Alpine glacier is used, with a focus on the anisotropy of the Reynolds stress tensor, as the scientific community has recently shown improvements in the description of the atmospheric surface layer by taking this aspect into account. Different sources leading stresses to deviate from the isotropic limit are explored, as well as energy exchanges across scales and between kinetic and potential reservoirs, in order to identify the main processes that should be included in turbulence parameterizations to properly represent anisotropic turbulence under stable conditions. High-resolution numerical simulations are then performed with the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model to evaluate different PBL parameterizations in reproducing specific stable atmospheric conditions developing over complex terrain, and their influence on the local circulation. For this purpose, two wintertime case studies in a basin-like area of an Alpine valley are investigated. Both are fair-weather episodes with weak synoptic forcing and well-developed diurnal local circulations, differing by the thermal stratification in the basin. In particular, the influence of thermal stratification on the outbreak of a valley-exit wind coming from a tributary valley is investigated, and the influence of such type of flows on turbulence anisotropy in stably stratified conditions is discussed for future investigations.

description: We propose a new fast algorithm for solving one of the standard formulations of frame-based image deconvolution: an unconstrained optimization problem, involving an $\ell_2$ data-fidelity term and a non-smooth regularizer. Our approach is based on using variable splitting to obtain an equivalent constrained optimization formulation, which is then addressed with an augmented Lagrangian method. The resulting algorithm efficiently uses a regularized version of the Hessian of the data fidelity term, thus exploits second order information. Experiments on a set of image deblurring benchmark problems show that our algorithm is clearly faster than previous state-of-the-art methods.

description: In this paper, we consider a simple stochastic epidemic model on large regular random graphs and the stochastic process that corresponds to this dynamics in the standard pair approximation. Using the fact that the nodes of a pair are unlikely to share neighbors, we derive the master equation for this process and obtain from the system size expansion the power spectrum of the fluctuations in the quasi-stationary state. We show that whenever the pair approximation deterministic equations give an accurate description of the behavior of the system in the thermodynamic limit, the power spectrum of the fluctuations measured in long simulations is well approximated by the analytical power spectrum. If this assumption breaks down, then the cluster approximation must be carried out beyond the level of pairs. We construct an uncorrelated triplet approximation that captures the behavior of the system in a region of parameter space where the pair approximation fails to give a good quantitative or even qualitative agreement. For these parameter values, the power spectrum of the fluctuations in finite systems can be computed analytically from the master equation of the corresponding stochastic process.

description: We use time-varying models of the coupled evolution of the HI, H_2 gas phases and stars in galaxy-sized numerical simulations to: a) test for the emergence of the Kennicutt-Schmidt (K-S) and the H_2-pressure relation, b) explore a realistic H_2-regulated star formation recipe which brings forth a neglected and potentially significant SF-regulating factor, and c) go beyond typical galactic environments (for which these galactic empirical relations are deduced) to explore the early evolution of very gas-rich galaxies. In this work we model low mass galaxies ($M_{\rm baryon} \le 10^9 \msun$), while incorporating an independent treatment of CO formation and destruction, the most important tracer molecule of H2 in galaxies, along with that for the H2 gas itself. We find that both the K-S and the H_2-pressure empirical relations can robustly emerge in galaxies after a dynamic equilibrium sets in between the various ISM states, the stellar component and its feedback.

description: Modern software deployment process produces software that is uniform and hence vulnerable to large-scale code-reuse attacks, such as Jump-Oriented Programming (JOP) attacks. Compiler-based diversification improves the resilience of software systems by automatically generating different assembly code versions of a given program. Existing techniques are efficient but do not have a precise control over the quality of the generated variants. This paper introduces Diversity by Construction (DivCon), a constraint-based approach to software diversification. Unlike previous approaches, DivCon allows users to control and adjust the conflicting goals of diversity and code quality. A key enabler is the use of Large Neighborhood Search (LNS) to generate highly diverse code efficiently. For larger problems, we propose a combination of LNS with a structural decomposition of the problem. To further improve the diversification efficiency of DivCon against JOP attacks, we propose an application-specific distance measure tailored to the characteristics of JOP attacks. We evaluate DivCon with 20 functions from a popular benchmark suite for embedded systems. These experiments show that the combination of LNS and our application-specific distance measure generates binary programs that are highly resilient against JOP attacks. Our results confirm that there is a trade-off between the quality of each assembly code version and the diversity of the entire pool of versions. In particular, the experiments show that DivCon generates near-optimal binary programs that share a small number of gadgets. For constraint programming researchers and practitioners, this paper demonstrates that LNS is a valuable technique for finding diverse solutions. For security researchers and software engineers, DivCon extends the scope of compiler-based diversification to performance-critical and resource-constrained applications.

Reality and Function (ti-yong)
Confucianism
Buddhism

description: Xiong Shili 熊十力 (1885-1968) was one of the most influential Chinese philosophers of the twentieth century, and he made a major contribution to the development of both Confucian and Buddhist thought. He is generally considered to be a founding figure of New Confucianism, and had a great influence on later New Confucians. Xiong’s metaphysics focuses mainly on the concepts of Reality (ti 體) and Function (yong 用). This pair of concepts is one of the key conceptual polarities in traditional Chinese philosophy. Generally speaking, Reality refers to the ontological realm, the intrinsic reality of things, while Function refers to the phenomenal world, the external manifestation of things. There have been many Chinese thinkers in Chinese philosophical history who contributed to the understanding and interpretation of this pair of concepts. Xiong developed his understanding of Reality and Function drawing on traditional accounts of the ti-yong polarity. This thesis is a study in the intellectual history of modern Chinese philosophy. Xiong’s mature ti-yong philosophical system was established and consolidated in the 1930s, with its early formative process beginning in 1920. Clarifying this process of development can help us understand Xiong’s overall philosophical development more accurately. Scholars have tended to focus on the mature stage of Xiong’s philosophy while overlooking how it was developed over an extended period. In contrast, my study examines Xiong’s understanding of Reality and Function between 1920 and 1937. It pays particular attention to how his thought changed and developed over this period, and also to the sources on which he drew to elucidate his ideas. This study will provide a more comprehensive basis for studies on the later periods of Xiong’s philosophical thought. Given Xiong’s important status in the modern New Confucian school, while contributing to a fuller understanding of Xiong’s metaphysics, this study also contributes to our understanding of New Confucian philosophy and its early development.

Evaluate or establish a surveillance or other health information system I evaluated the SA surveillance system for Shiga toxin-producing Escherichia coli infection. Critical review of the scientific literature For all projects that I was involved in, I reviewed the literature in order to understand the topic. Report for a non-scientific audience Whilst deployed to the World Health Organisation in Bangladesh, I prepared and presented a PowerPoint presentation about Cholera to non-clinical staff at two health services servicing the Rohingya refugee population. Oral presentation at a national conference I presented a summary of the SA S. Hessarek investigation at the 9th Southeast Asia & Western Pacific Bi-regional Training Programs in Epidemiology and Public Health Interventions Network (TEPHINET) Scientific Conference, 5-9 November 2018. Scientific manuscript for a peer reviewed journal I have published an article summarising the SA Salmonella Hessarek investigation to the peer-reviewed scientific journal, 'Communicable Diseases Intelligence' (CDI). Teaching including Lessons from the Field (LFF) I conducted a 'Lessons from the field' education session on performing risk assessment during outbreak investigations for my MAE peers, taught in two course-block lectures for first-year MAE scholars and, prepared and taught infection control to clinical and non-clinical health service staff in Cox's Bazar, Bangladesh. MAE Course blocks I completed all five required course-blocks at ANU in 2017 and 2018.
Predictive Statistical Monitoring(Improvements on online learning and background knowledge)

description: Monitoring is a highly used technique to check cyber-physical systems(CPS), where the corresponding model is either unavailable or not worthwhile to obtain.q Based on observing executions of a system, a monitor analyses if observations comply with expected behavior. Predictive monitoring of CPSs is an attempt to add prediction capability to this verification platform, where the history of a system is learned by training over previous traces. We seek to enhance the flexibility of the statistical monitor to make it feasible to be used in the CSPs. These models can be used in safety-critical systems to inform the imminent fault in advance. In this thesis, we proposed a statistical predictive run-time verification that is equipped with dynamic horizon allocation. Therefore, based on the received observations, the monitor can increase the prediction window when it gets a trace similar to the one already seen in the historical data log. On the other hand, the monitor switches to a more conservative short window prediction zone when receiving an unseen data stream. This feature adds flexibility to the solution allowing a solution to be used in a different environment with different degrees of predictability. Another contribution is to use background knowledge(BK) to enhance the prediction capability of a system while running the monitor online. It was demonstrated that BK contributes positively to increasing the prediction zone while decreasing the error. We also suggested that the hidden Markovian model(HMM), used as the system's history, can be updated while receiving the new trace. We considered both adaptations of the parameters and modification of the structure on the fly.

State, Ideology and Development Cooperation: The Symbolic Politics of Indonesia's South-South Cooperation
Creators: name: Tahalele, Miranda
Publisher: name: The Australian National University
Year: 2020

description: The changing landscape of foreign aid has both stimulated and acknowledged the re-emergence of Southern countries as donors and providers of aid and knowledge in global development cooperation. This research explored how Indonesia, as a Southern state, has constructed the idea of 'giving' in South-South Cooperation (SSC) within the globalised world of foreign aid. It argues that Southern cooperation has two structures: the symbolic narratives of partnership and solidarity, and the state institutional framework. This thesis used contemporary development studies, related social theories and the symbolic structures of giving to examine and analyse the concepts of giving and sharing in the social relations of SSC. The histories and roles of Indonesia in SSC were mapped to explore its evolution from the origin of giving, the Bandung Conference 1955 to the current politics of SSC. A qualitative research approach was applied to answer the research question specifically within the context of Indonesia's SSC. To maintain its Southern cooperation legacies, Indonesia shaped its SSC based on its ideology and ritualised symbols of the Asian-African Conference. Based on fieldwork in Indonesia and Myanmar, the meanings and interpretations of Southern cooperation policy were explored to determine how it is practised and implemented. Perceptions of and motivation for the reciprocal process of Southern cooperation were analysed to understand the process of giving and sharing as captured in Indonesia-Myanmar Cooperation. When Indonesia institutionalised SSC, its government played significant roles in shaping the national model of cooperation and projecting the country's international position in development cooperation. Further, this study theorises the politics of giving in SSC by examining how Indonesia has maintained the state's symbolic narratives to distinguish its development relations and construct institutions to build better partnerships and cooperation. This structure distinguishes the debates surrounding global development cooperation between North and South, which have become more interlinked in recent years.

description: A growing global awareness of climate change threats to cultural heritage sites (cultural sites) has seen the recent emergence of multiple management methodologies. However, none of these are amenable to use by local, non-specialist groups using participatory planning processes, such as Indigenous ranger groups. This research aimed to develop a Cultural Site Adaptation Guide (the Guide), a decision support tool to assist non-specialists undertaking participatory, climate change adaptation planning for cultural sites. A preliminary version of the Guide was created by synthesising elements from generic, bottom-up climate change adaptation planning tools on the one hand, and a risk analysis methodology that combined and built on archaeological approaches pioneered in the United Kingdom and France on the other. The first three steps of the five-step Guide are steps for Scoping, Risk analysis, and Options analysis. The research engaged two Indigenous ranger groups in Australia’s Northern Territory with strong perceptions of climate change impacts on cultural sites and a strong view that managing these impacts is a priority need. The preliminary Guide was tested and further refined by the Indigenous rangers, using a Participatory Action Research methodology. The Scoping step allowed rangers to undertake: a detailed problem analysis that identified types and general locations of vulnerable cultural sites and the nature of impacts; planning goals and appropriate methodological approaches; and resource deficiencies and planning barriers. The Risk analysis step allowed rangers to allocate a management priority rating to 126 cultural sites. The Options step found rangers were able to identify, appraise and rank a diverse range of adaptation options, including ones aimed at direct cultural site intervention, building ranger adaptive capacity, and building cultural site resilience. The Option step also allowed rangers to generate their own preliminary cultural site adaptation plan. The research found that practical and rigorous approaches can be taken to climate change adaptation of cultural sites by non-specialists, even where resources are likely to be severely constrained.

description: Video blogs and selfies are popular social media formats, which are often captured by wide-angle cameras to show human subjects and expanded background. Unfortunately, due to perspective projection, faces near corners and edges exhibit apparent distortions that stretch and squish the facial features, resulting in poor video quality. In this work, we present a video warping algorithm to correct these distortions. Our key idea is to apply stereographic projection locally on the facial regions. We formulate a mesh warp problem using spatial-temporal energy minimization and minimize background deformation using a line-preservation term to maintain the straight edges in the background. To address temporal coherency, we constrain the temporal smoothness on the warping meshes and facial trajectories through the latent variables. For performance evaluation, we develop a wide-angle video dataset with a wide range of focal lengths. The user study shows that 83.9% of users prefer our algorithm over other alternatives based on perspective projection.

An Improved Gauge Driver for the Generalized Harmonic Einstein System
Creators: name: Lindblom, Lee

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: A new gauge driver is introduced for the generalized harmonic (GH) representation of Einstein's equation. This new driver allows a rather general class of gauge conditions to be implemented in a way that maintains the hyperbolicity of the combined evolution system. This driver is more stable and effective, and unlike previous drivers, allows stable evolutions using the dual-frame evolution technique. Appropriate boundary conditions for this new gauge driver are constructed, and a new boundary condition for the ``gauge'' components of the spacetime metric in the GH Einstein system is introduced. The stability and effectiveness of this new gauge driver are demonstrated through numerical tests, which impose a new damped-wave gauge condition on the evolutions of single black-hole spacetimes.

description: On the basis of the Vlasov chain of equations, a new infinite dispersion chain of equations is obtained for the distribution functions of mixed higher order kinematical values. In contrast to the Vlasov chain, the dispersion chain contains distribution functions with an arbitrary set of kinematical values and has a tensor form of writing. For the dispersion chain, new equations for mixed Boltzmann functions and the corresponding chain of conservation laws for fluid dynamics are obtained. The probability is proved to be a constant value for a particle to belong the region where the quasi-probability density is negative (Wigner function).

description: The preparation of highly entangled many-body systems is one of the central challenges of both basic and applied science. The complexity of interparticle interaction and environment coupling increases rapidly with the number of to-be-entangled subsystems, rendering the requirements on the control of many-body quantum systems ever more restrictive. We propose an approach that allows to derive optimal control Hamiltonians in a purely algebraic fashion. These drive a composite quantum system rapidly into that highly entangled state which can be created most efficiently for a given interaction mechanism, and which bears entanglement that is robust against decoherence.

description: Domain experts should provide relevant domain knowledge to an Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS) so that it can guide a learner during problemsolving learning activities. However, for many ill-defined domains, the domain knowledge is hard to define explicitly. In previous works, we showed how sequential pattern mining can be used to extract a partial problem space from logged user interactions, and how it can support tutoring services during problem-solving exercises. This article describes an extension of this approach to extract a problem space that is richer and more adapted for supporting tutoring services. We combined sequential pattern mining with (1) dimensional pattern mining (2) time intervals, (3) the automatic clustering of valued actions and (4) closed sequences mining. Some tutoring services have been implemented and an experiment has been conducted in a tutoring system.

description: We study the local structure of zero mode wave functions of chiral matter fields in F-theory unification. We solve the differential equations for the zero modes derived from local Higgsing in the 8-dimensional parent action of F-theory 7-branes. The solutions are found as expansions both in powers and derivatives of the magnetic fluxes. Yukawa couplings are given by an overlap integral of the three wave functions involved in the interaction and can be calculated analytically. We provide explicit expressions for these Yukawas to second order both in the flux and derivative expansions and discuss the effect of higher order terms. We explicitly describe the dependence of the couplings on the U(1) charges of the relevant fields, appropriately taking into account their normalization. A hierarchical Yukawa structure is naturally obtained. The application of our results to the understanding of the observed hierarchies of quarks and leptons is discussed.

description: The electronic structure of a-Fe1.06Te is studied with angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy. We show that there is substantial spectral weight around Gamma and X, and lineshapes are intrinsically incoherent in the paramagnetic state. The magnetic transition is characterized by a massive spectral-weight transfer over an energy range as large as the band width, which even exhibits a hysteresis loop that marks the strong first order transition. Coherent quasiparticles emerge in the magnetically ordered state due to decreased spin fluctuations, which account for the change of transport properties from insulating behavior to metallic behavior. Our observation demonstrates that Fe1.06Te distinguishes itself from other iron-based systems with more local characters and much stronger interactions among different degrees of freedom, and how a spin density wave is formed in the presence of strong correlation.
