description: We present a model compound for the $S$=1/2 ferromagnetic Heisenberg chain composed of the verdazyl-based complex $[$Zn(hfac)$_2]$$[$4-Cl-$o$-Py-V-(4-F)$_2]$. $Ab$ $initio$ MO calculations indicate a predominant ferromagnetic interaction forming an $S$=1/2 ferromagnetic chain. The magnetic susceptibility and specific heat indicate a phase transition to an AF order owing to the finite interchain couplings. We explain the magnetic susceptibility and magnetization curve above the phase transition temperature based on the $S$=1/2 ferromagnetic Heisenberg chain. The magnetization curve in the ordered phase is described by a conventional AF two-sublattice model. Furthermore, the obtained magnetic specific heat reproduces the almost temperature-independent behavior of the $S$=1/2 ferromagnetic Heisenberg chain. In the low-temperature region, the magnetic specific heat exhibits $\sqrt{T}$ dependence, which is attributed to the energy dispersion in the ferromagnetic chain.

description: Machine learning has become an important tool set for artificial intelligence and data science across many fields. A modern machine learning method can be often reduced to a mathematical optimization problem. Among algorithms to solve the optimization problem, gradient descent and its variants like stochastic gradient descent and momentum methods are the most popular ones. The optimization problem induced from classical machine learning methods is often a convex and smooth one, for which gradient descent is guaranteed to solve it efficiently. On the other hand,
modern machine learning methods, like deep neural networks, often require solving a non-smooth and non-convex problem. Theoretically, non-convex mathematical
optimization problems cannot be solved efficiently. However, in practice, gradient descent and its variants can find a global optimum efficiently. These competing facts
show that often there are special structures in the optimization problems that can make gradient descent succeed in practice. This thesis presents technical contributions to fill the gap between theory and
practice on the gradient descent algorithm. The outline of the thesis is as follows. In the first part, we consider applying gradient descent to minimize the empirical
risk of a neural network. We will show if a multi-layer neural network with smooth activation function is sufficiently wide, then randomly initialized gradient descent can efficiently find a global minimum of the empirical risk. We will also show the same result for the two-layer neural network with Rectified Linear Unit (ReLU) activation function. It is quite surprising that although the objective function of neural networks is non-convex, gradient descent can still find their global minimum. Lastly, we will study structural property of the trajectory induced by the gradient descent algorithm.
 In the second part, we assume the label is generated from a two-layer teacher convolutional neural network and we consider using gradient descent to recover the teacher convolutional neural network. We will show that if the input distribution is Gaussian, then gradient descent can recovered a one-hidden-layer convolutional neural network in which both the convolutional weights and the output wights are unknown parameters to be recovered. We will also show that the Gaussian input assumption can be relaxed to a general structural assumption if we only need to recover a single convolutional filter. In the third part, we study conditions under which gradient descent fails. We
will show gradient descent can take exponential time to optimize a smooth function with the strict saddle point property for which the noise-injected gradient can optimize in polynomial time. While our focus is theoretical, whenever possible, we also present experiments that illustrate our theoretical findings.

description: Agreement attraction in comprehension (when an ungrammatical verb is read quickly if preceded by a feature-matching local noun) is well described by a cue-based retrieval framework. This suggests a role for lexical retrieval in attraction. To examine this, we manipulated two probabilistic factors known to affect lexical retrieval: local noun word frequency and morpho-orthography (agreement morphology realised with or without –s endings) in a self-paced reading study. Noun number and word frequency affected noun and verb region reading times, with higher-frequency words not eliciting attraction. Morpho-orthography impacted verb processing but not attraction: atypical plurals led to slower verb reading times regardless of verb number. Exploratory individual difference analyses further underscore the importance of lexical retrieval dynamics in sentence processing. This provides evidence that agreement operates via a cue-based retrieval mechanism over lexical representations that vary in their strength and association to number features.

Dicrotendipes

description: Dicrotendipes Kieffer
(Figs. 37–42)
 Dicrotendipes is one of the few genera to have been studied adequately in the region, thanks to the work of Epler (1988). Three widely-distributed species are recognised that can be distinguished using the keys of Epler (1988) and Cranston (2000). Dicrotendipes pelochloris (Kieffer), whose immature stages were described as Cladotendipes inferior (Johannsen) by Lenz (1937), occurs in several post-tsunami impacted ponds. All larval occurrences were in recovering or minimally-impacted ponds, of conductivity 169–897 µS. cm−1 and dissolved solids of 84–449 ppm.
 The immature stages of D. septemmaculatus (Becker) have been described by Epler (1988) and Cranston (2000). The species has been reported regionally from Lake Toba, Sumatra (Kikuchi & Sasa 1990). Larvae of D. septemmaculatus were found in three dilute pools (104–192 µS. cm−1 conductivity, dissolved solids 92–96 ppm).
 One larva apparently conspecific with those identified as D. ‘ sarinae /K4’ from northern Australia (Cranston, 2000) was found in a moderately impacted pool recovering 18 months post-tsunami (440 µS. cm−1 conductivity, dissolved solids 222 ppm).
These three species can be distinguished as larvae as follows:
 1. Frontal apotome of dorsal head with ovoid fenestra (Fig. 37). Outermost mental teeth composite and fused (Fig. 40)................................................................................... D. pelochloris
– Frontal apotome of dorsal head without such ovoid fenestra (Figs. 38, 39). Outermost mental teeth separate apically (Figs. 41, 42).................................................................................. 2
 2. Frontal apotome with narrow, elongate process (Fig. 38)....................................................................... D. septemmaculatus
 – Frontal apotome without indication of fenestra or process (Fig. 39)............................................................................... D. ‘K4’
 Dicrotendipes larvae are collector-gatherers: larvae of some species will tolerate quite high nutrient and salinity levels.

Statistical and Computational Properties of Some “User-Friendly” Methods for High-Dimensional Estimation

description: Historically, the choice of method for a given statistical problem has been primarily driven by two criteria: a method’s statistical properties, and its computational
properties. But as tools for high-dimensional estimation become ubiquitous, it is clear that there are other considerations, going beyond pure accuracy and computational efficiency, that are equally (if not more) important. One such consideration is a method’s “user-friendliness”— a term we use to encapsulate the various properties that make a method easy to work with in practice, exemplified by a method being (i) easy-to-implement, (ii) interpretable, and (iii) computationally cheap. In this thesis, we present new statistical and computational results for three different user-friendly methods in various high-dimensional estimation settings. First, we give conditions for the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the generalized lasso problem, which is a generalization of the standard lasso problem that allows the user to easily impose domain-appropriate structure onto the fitted
coefficients. The conditions are very weak, and essentially guarantee uniqueness in many settings of practical interest, even in high dimensions, which are useful results
from the points-of-view of interpretability as well as prediction. Second, we consider early-stopped gradient descent (as an estimator), giving a number of results
that tightly couple the risk profile of the iterates generated by gradient descent, when run on the fundamental problem of least squares regression, to that of ridge regression—these results are favorable for gradient descent, as it is relatively easy to implement as well as computationally cheap. We also discuss extending the analysis to give a similar coupling for (the arguably even more user-friendly) stochastic gradient descent. Finally, we present a new user-friendly, pseudolikelihood-based method for robust undirected graphical modeling that we call the Multiple Quantile Graphical Model (MQGM), showing that the MQGM recovers the population-level conditional independencies, with high probability — this is again a useful result,
from an interpretability standpoint. We also give a highly efficient algorithm, based on the alternating direction method of multipliers, for fitting the MQGM to high-dimensional
and potentially non-Gaussian data.

description: The importance of mastering English grammar is a critical component of academic success,especially in regions like the Philippines where educational disparities exist. This study investigates therelationship between English grammar acquisition and student satisfaction among Grade 12 students in thePhilippines. It emphasizes the role of various student interactions—student-faculty, student-student,student-content, and student-technology—within Moore's Transactional Distance Theory. This researchhighlights the ongoing challenges in mastering English grammar, particularly among students from lowincome families, whose difficulties have been intensified by the pandemic. A notable gap exists inunderstanding how these interactions impact learners' academic outcomes. Employing a mixed-methodsapproach, the study combines quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to explore students'perceptions of grammar learning and satisfaction related to different interactive modalities. Findings revealthat students generally attain a satisfactory understanding of English grammar, especially in areas likesubject-verb agreement and relative pronouns. Notably, student-faculty interactions are shown to providethe highest satisfaction ratings, whereas student-student and student-technology interactions, while lesseffective, still contribute positively to the overall educational experience. A moderate positive correlation(r = 0.52) is observed between grammar acquisition and student satisfaction, indicating that improvedproficiency enhances overall learner contentment. The research underscores the necessity for enhancedteacher training and interactive pedagogies tailored to meet student needs. It advocates for collaborativelearning environments to boost student engagement and confidence in grammar skills. Furthermore,regularly assessing student satisfaction and instructional effectiveness is essential for adapting teachingstrategies to evolving learner perceptions.

(Figs. 29, 30, 33)
 The genus Parachironomus is widespread, but it is never abundant in the region: no species was found in Sulawesi by Ashe (1990). Parachironomus tobaquartus Kikuchi & Sasa (1990) was described in the adult stage from Lake Toba, Sumatra.
 Two species occured as larvae in post-tsunami pools and both belong to the arcuatus group (Pinder & Reiss, 1983) having simple SI setae and a convex mentum with dark teeth. One is identical to P. ‘K1’ (Cranston, 2000) reported from northern Australia, having numerous small teeth laterad to a typical mentum (Fig. 30). This larval type was found only on three consecutive sampling occasions at one site (Hard Klong Luang) in Krabi. The other, a single individual from a dilute and unimpacted pool, differs in having a typical mentum for Parachironomus but with very narrow ventromental plates and a strongly scalloped anterior margin (Fig. 33).

description: The current thinking about the suicide attempt process in suicidology contains a long-held assumption that the change from thoughts to behaviours can occur either impulsively or non-impulsively and classification of suicide attempts into groups according to impulsivity is a tradition that has existed for more than a hundred years (e.g., Durkheim, 1897/2006). However, a systematic review of the literature on suicide attempt impulsivity, presented in the thesis, indicated that, despite differences between impulsive and non-impulsive suicide having been extensively studied, the results are difficult to integrate and to translate into recommendations for suicide risk assessment and prevention. The thesis sought to advance current understanding of suicide attempt impulsivity and examine whether there is a phenomenon that warrants description as an impulsive suicide attempt. The empirical research in this thesis includes two studies. The first is a small-scale qualitative study which used thematic analysis to explore the ways clinicians (n = 7) and suicide attempters (n = 8) themselves understand suicide attempt impulsivity. It was based in an outpatient mental health clinic specialising in the treatment of suicidal behaviour. Although the concept of attempt impulsivity originated from clinical work and continues to be used in that setting, there has been very little exploration of how the concept “impulsive attempt” is used. The small scale qualitative study thus provides an important exploration of alternative definitions of suicide attempt impulsivity. The study showed that three themes, “thinking out”, build-up, and unclear intentionality were used by clinicians and suicide attempters when considering attempt impulsivity. However, the study indicated limitations of the term in clinical practice, such as potential stigmatisation and limited contribution to suicide risk assessment.

description: An important problem in geometric reasoning is to find the configuration of a collection of geometric bodies so as to satisfy a set of given constraints. Recently, it has been suggested that this problem can be solved efficiently by symbolically reasoning about geometry. This approach, called degrees of freedom analysis, employs a set of specialized routines called plan fragments that specify how to change the configuration of a set of bodies to satisfy a new constraint while preserving existing constraints. A potential drawback, which limits the scalability of this approach, is concerned with the difficulty of writing plan fragments. In this paper we address this limitation by showing how these plan fragments can be automatically synthesized using first principles about geometric bodies, actions, and topology.

We prove that if G is metrizable and T is compact then H(G,T) is a k-space. As a consequence we obtain that if G_1 is a dense subgroup of G then H(G_1,T) is homeomorphic to H(G,T), and if G is separable h-complete, then the natural map G --> C(H(G,T),T) is open onto its image.

description: The fifth generation of wireless communications (5G) promises massive increases in traffic volume and data rates, as well as improved reliability in voice calls. Jointly optimizing beamforming, power control, and interference coordination in a 5G wireless network to enhance the communication performance to end users poses a significant challenge. In this paper, we formulate the joint design of beamforming, power control, and interference coordination as a non-convex optimization problem to maximize the signal to interference plus noise ratio (SINR) and solve this problem using deep reinforcement learning. By using the greedy nature of deep Q-learning to estimate future rewards of actions and using the reported coordinates of the users served by the network, we propose an algorithm for voice bearers and data bearers in sub-6 GHz and millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency bands, respectively. The algorithm improves the performance measured by SINR and sum-rate capacity. In realistic cellular environments, the simulation results show that our algorithm outperforms the link adaptation industry standards for sub-6 GHz voice bearers. For data bearers in the mmWave frequency band, our algorithm approaches the maximum sum-rate capacity, but with less than 4% of the required run time.

description: This exegesis situates and explores my contemporary art practice that aims to address global ecological and social issues through the mediums of ‘women’s work’ and digital technologies. As used here, ‘women’s work’ refers to all needlework techniques and myriad other textile techniques (m)aligned with females, including but not limited to, embroidery, knitting, crochet, and binding. At the heart of the project is a sustained exploration of these mediums’ inherent materiality beyond their obvious aesthetic attributes. This is inextricably entwined with the processes of ‘women’s work’, the device of metaphor, and the body as both tool and subject. The exegesis examines the position of textiles, particularly embroidery, in a contemporary context. It reflects on the process, meanings and potential strength contained in the textile traditions and processes that are used in this project, being aware of textile tropes and the potential for making meaning through their disruption. By merging the history, materiality and sensuality of textiles with the advances of digital technology, this research and its creative outputs offer a much richer language for self-expression and contemplation. Notions of impermanence, contingency and the fragility of our natural environment are validly addressed by using mediums that are similarly framed. Thus, metaphors of interconnecting threads—weaving, embroidery, knitting, binding—are applied across the studio practice. Digital mediums function as lines of communication, which are woven together like threads to connect the subject and viewers. The research determines that representation and engagement can be influenced profoundly through synergy with the embedded materiality of the chosen mediums.

In this paper, we present an analytical theory of dielectric screening of inversion-symmetric Luttinger semimetals with an arbitrary carrier density and conduction-valence effective mass asymmetry. Assuming a spherical approximation for the single-particle Luttinger Hamiltonian, we determine analytically the dielectric screening function in the random phase approximation for arbitrary values of the wave vector and frequency, the latter in the complex plane. We use this analytical expression to calculate the dispersion relation and Landau damping of the collective modes in the charge sector (i.e., plasmons).

description: Motivated by the control theoretic distinction between controllable and uncontrollable events, we distinguish between two types of agents within a multi-agent system: controllable agents, which are directly controlled by the system's designer, and uncontrollable agents, which are not under the designer's direct control. We refer to such systems as partially controlled multi-agent systems, and we investigate how one might influence the behavior of the uncontrolled agents through appropriate design of the controlled agents. In particular, we wish to understand which problems are naturally described in these terms, what methods can be applied to influence the uncontrollable agents, the effectiveness of such methods, and whether similar methods work across different domains. Using a game-theoretic framework, this paper studies the design of partially controlled multi-agent systems in two contexts: in one context, the uncontrollable agents are expected utility maximizers, while in the other they are reinforcement learners. We suggest different techniques for controlling agents' behavior in each domain, assess their success, and examine their relationship.

However, to date, sources of entangled photons have been realized mainly in the near-infrared 700- to 1550-nm spectral window. Here, using custom-designed lithium niobate crystals for spontaneous parametric down-conversion and tailored superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors, we demonstrate two-photon interference and polarization-entangled photon pairs at 2090 nm. These results open the 2- to 2.5-$μ$m mid-infrared window for the development of optical quantum technologies such as quantum key distribution in next-generation mid-infrared fiber communication systems and future Earth-to-satellite communications.

description: The physics of jets from Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and their interaction with the interstellar medium (ISM) and intracluster medium (ICM) is an important research area of modern astronomy. Over the last few decades theoreticians have studied AGN jets both analytically and numerically. However, to date, a complete understanding on the jet energetics and composition, jet velocity, complex jet morphology and jet-ICM interaction is lacking. This thesis aims to understand the energetics and composition of the jet near its origin, its interaction with the galaxy and cluster, focussing on detailed models of the inner structure of the Hydra A radio source. Analysing radio observations of the inner lobes of Hydra A by Taylor et al. (1990), I confirm jet power estimates 1045 ergs s􀀀1 derived byWise et al. (2007) from dynamical analysis of the X-ray cavities. With this result and a model for the galaxy atmosphere, I explore the jet-ICM interactions occurring on a scale of 20 kpc using relativistic hydrodynamic simulations. The key features of my modelling are that i) I identify the four bright knots in the northern jet at approximately 4, 7, 11 and 16 kpc (deprojected) from the radio core as biconical reconfinement shocks, which result when an over pressured jet starts to come into equilibrium with the galactic atmosphere ii) the curved morphology of the source and the turbulent transition of the jet to a plume are produced by the dynamical interaction of a precessing jet with the ICM. I study the inner 10 kpc of the northern jet utilising two dimensional axisymmetric simulations. Through an extensive parameter space study I deduce that the jet velocity is approximately 0:8 c at a distance 0:5 kpc from the black hole. The combined constraints of jet power, the observed jet radius profile along the jet, and the estimated jet pressure and jet velocity imply a value of the jet density parameter 13 for the northern jet. To study the complex source morphology within 20 kpc (on the northern side) I generalise my axisymmetric model to a three dimensional jet-ICM interaction model incorporating jet precession. Utilising the jet parameters obtained from the best fit axisymmetric model, a range of precession periods and two values of the precession angle I produce a set of 3D models. With the precessing jet model I successfully reproduce key features of the inner 20 kpc of the Hydra A northern jet: i) Four bright knots along the jet trajectory at approximately correct locations ii) The curvature of the jet within 10 kpc iii) Turbulent transition of the jet to a plume iv) A misaligned bright knot in the turbulent flaring zone. The best matching model for the Hydra A northern jet gives a precession period 1 Myr and a precession angle 20 . A low Mach number 1:85 of the forward shock indicates a gentle heating of the ICM by the source in its early stages.

description: We study the twisted index of 4d $\mathcal{N}$ = 2 class S theories on a closed hyperbolic 3-manifold $M_3$. Via 6d picture, the index can be written in terms of topological invariants called analytic torsions twisted by irreducible flat connections on the 3-manifold. Using the topological expression, we determine the full perturbative 1/N expansion of the twisted index. The leading part nicely matches the Bekestein-Hawking entropy of a magnetically charged black hole in the holographic dual $AdS_5$ with $AdS_2\times M_3$ near-horizon.

Uniform Provability in Classical Logic

description: Uniform proofs are sequent calculus proofs with the following characteristic: the last step in the derivation of a complex formula at any stage in the proof is always the introduction of the top-level logical symbol of that formula. We investigate the relevance of this uniform proof notion to structuring proof search in classical logic. A logical language in whose context provability is equivalent to uniform provability admits of a goal-directed proof procedure that interprets logical symbols as search directives whose meanings are given by the corresponding inference rules. While this uniform provability property does not hold directly of classical logic, we show that it holds of a fragment of it that only excludes essentially positive occurrences of universal quantifiers under a modest, sound, modification to the set of assumptions: the addition to them of the negation of the formula being proved. We further note that all uses of the added formula can be factored into certain derived rules. The resulting proof system and the uniform provability property that holds of it are used to outline a proof procedure for classical logic. An interesting aspect of this proof procedure is that it incorporates within it previously proposed mechanisms for dealing with disjunctive information in assumptions and for handling hypotheticals. Our analysis sheds light on the relationship between these mechanisms and the notion of uniform proofs.

description: Historically, clinical spiritual care and education (or clinical pastoral education, CPE) has focused on pastoral formation, pastoral competence/conversation, pastoral understanding, and interpersonal dynamics. With the rise in holistic education in adult education this research sought to understand how students’ spirituality is affected by the CPE process. The primary research question was: Does CPE affect the spiritual lives and formation of its students? And if it does, how? A secondary research question was: Does CPE affect students’ connection to the god(s)/higher power/divine entity of their understanding? And if it does, how? First, the researcher developed a qualitative survey that allowed participants to self-define their spirituality and provide open-ended descriptions on how CPE affected their spiritual formation, or not. The survey was published with ACPE, Inc. and 17 participants answered. The data was analyzed through thematic coding and five themes emerged: Changes in Relationality, Things That Came Out of Struggle, Changes in Spiritual Beliefs & Spiritual Practices, Importance of Essential Elements in CPE, Things that Came Out of Struggling Related to Divinity. My assessment of the results of the themes is that CPE has been implicitly addressing the spiritual needs and spiritual formation of its students. Therefore, my recommendation is for Educators to find ways to make the implicit explicit thus enhancing what is already present in the curriculum.

description: Background: Body mass index (BMI) is often criticised since it doesn’t consider sex, age and ethnicity, which may affect the height scaling exponent of the equation. Aims: First, to identify specific height scaling exponents (α) based on sex, age and ethnicity. Second, to assess the performance of the current vs the proposed BMI equations (1) to predict total fat mass (TFM) and metabolic syndrome (MetS) severity and (2) to correctly identify obese individuals and those having MetS. Methods: In total, 41,403 individuals aged 20–80 years (NHANES, 1999–2014) were studied. Specific “α” were identified using the Benn formula. Various statistical approaches were performed to assess performances of the current vs the proposed-BMIs. Results: The proposed “α” varies from 1.2 to 2.5, after considering sex, age and ethnicity. BMIs calculated using the proposed “α” showed a similar capacity to predict TFM and MetS severity and to correctly identify obese individuals and those having MetS compared to the current BMI. Conclusions: Despite sex, age and ethnicity modulating the height scaling exponent of the BMI equation, using these proposed exponents in the BMI equation didn’t improve the capacity to predict TFM and MetS severity, suggesting that the current BMI remains a valid clinical tool.
Search for muon-philic new light gauge boson at Belle II

description: Motivated by the long-lasting $3.5σ$ discrepancy in the anomalous magnetic moment of muon, we consider a new muon-specific force mediated by a light gauge boson, $X$, with mass $m_X < 2m_μ$ and the coupling constant $g_X \sim (10^{-4}, 10^{-3})$. We show that the Belle~II experiment has a robust chance to probe such a light boson in $e^+ e^- \to μ^+ μ^- + X$ channel and cover the most interesting parameter space explaining the discrepancy with the planned target luminosity, $\int dt \ {\cal L}=50~{\rm ab^{-1}}$. The clean signal of muon-pair plus missing energy at Belle II can be a smoking gun for the new gauge boson. We expect that the (invisibly decaying) muon-philic light ($m_X \leq 2 m_μ$) gauge boson can be probed down to $g_X \geq 1.5 \times 10^{-4} \ (4.6 \times 10^{-4}, \ 2.3 \times 10^{-4})$ for 50 (1, 10) ab${}^{-1}$ search.

description: We study some combinatorial properties of the word metric of Thompson's group F in the standard two generator finite presentation. We explore connections between the tree pair diagram representing an element w of F, its normal form in the infinite presentation, its word length, and minimal length representatives of it. We estimate word length in terms of the number and type of carets in the tree pair diagram and show sharpness of those estimates. In addition we explore some properties of the Cayley graph of F with respect to the two generator finite presentation. Namely, we exhibit the form of `dead end' elements in this Cayley graph, and show that it has no `deep pockets'. Finally, we discuss a simple method for constructing minimal length representatives for strictly positive or negative words.

description: The purpose of this thesis is to explore and examine the experiences and practices of black men regarding their religion and spirituality. As a religious person myself, my initial investigative question was: What does it mean for one to consider themselves spiritual but not religious, particularly given the long history of the role of religion in black culture in America? This oral history project was centered on a small sample of narrators who could speak to the subject in the greater context of their lives and family histories. Themes exposed in the course of the interviews included but were not limited to politics, health and wellness, feelings of hypocrisy within the Christian church, the history of black theology, the sway of prosperity gospel, the legacy of slavery and growing trends towards the Afrocentric. The major finding in this research has been the intertwined nature of the relationship between spiritual beliefs and the individual desire for community expressed by each narrator.
