description: Building on previous work of Di Nasso and Luperi Baglini, we provide general necessary conditions for a Diophantine equation to be partition regular. These conditions are inspired by Rado's characterization of partition regular linear homogeneous equations. We conjecture that these conditions are also sufficient for partition regularity, at least for equations whose corresponding monovariate polynomial is linear. This would provide a natural generalization of Rado's theorem. We verify that such a conjecture hold for the equations $x^{2}-xy+ax+by+cz=0$ and $x^{2}-y^{2}+ax+by+cz=0$ for $a,b,c\in \mathbb{Z}$ such that $abc=0$ or $% a+b+c=0$. To deal with these equations, we establish new results concerning the partition regularity of polynomial configurations in $\mathbb{Z}$ such as $\left\{ x,x+y,xy+x+y\right\} $, building on the recent result on the partition regularity of $\left\{ x,x+y,xy\right\} $.

description: Following extensive numerical experiments, it has been suggested that the evolution of competing computer programs in artificial life simulations shows signs of being a self-organized critical process. The primary evidence for this claim comes from the distribution of the lifetimes of species in the simulations, which appears to follow a power law. We argue that, for a number of reasons, it is unlikely that the system is in fact at a critical point and suggest an alternative explanation for the power-law lifetime distribution.

From Conflict of Laws to Global Justice

subject: FOS: Law

description: At the beginning of the 21st Century, conflict-of-laws theory lies in tatters. The determination of the applicable law could hardly be more disputed and insecure. At the same time, globalization requires a strong basis on which legal systems can be coordinated. It is therefore high time to reconsider the theory of choice of law. In my analysis, I have focused on the three major players in the conflicts dilemma: individuals, states, and courts. I have tried to show how their roles have changed or should change in order to allow for more justice and global coordination. I have started out with the individuals because they suffer most from the application of a certain law. Today, it is recognized in almost all legal systems that individual parties can choose the law governing their disputes. But this principle does not sit very well with traditional theory of conflicts, which is built on connections to states and state authority. That is why I have tried to give a theoretical justification for party autonomy. Second, I have turned to the states because the reason we have conflicts is the existence of different countries with different legal systems. States claim application for their law either because a case arises in their territory, or because it is connected to their nationals, or because it touches upon their interest. In the modern world, though, it becomes difficult to establish these kinds of connections as social relations are increasingly transcending state borders. In my second article, I have shown that the law of the states has reacted by "de-bordering" itself. The final actor I have examined is the courts. One of the main problems of conflict of laws, in my eyes, is that courts consider themselves as organs of a certain state. I argue in my third article that this is a misconception and that their main preoccupation should be to render a just decision. If that would be accepted, they could very well turn out to be the key organizers of a more just global legal order.

description: This dissertation 1) shows continuity corrections for first passage probabilities of Brownian bridge and barrier joint probabilities, which are applied to the pricing of two-dimensional barrier and partial barrier options, and 2) introduces new variance reduction techniques and computational improvements to Monte Carlo methods for pricing American options.

The joint distribution of Brownian motion and its first passage time has found applications in many areas, including sequential analysis, pricing of barrier options, and credit risk modeling. There are, however, no simple closed-form solutions for these joint probabilities in a discrete-time setting. Chapter 2 shows that, discrete two-dimensional barrier and partial barrier joint probabilities can be approximated by their continuous-time probabilities with remarkable accuracy after shifting the barrier away from the underlying by a factor. We achieve this through a uniform continuity correction theorem on the first passage probabilities for Brownian bridge, extending relevant results in Siegmund (1985a). The continuity corrections are applied to the pricing of two-dimensional barrier and partial barrier options, extending the results in Broadie, Glasserman & Kou (1997) on one-dimensional barrier options. One interesting aspect is that for type B partial barrier options, the barrier correction cannot be applied throughout one pricing formula, but only to some barrier values and leaving the other unchanged, the direction of correction may also vary within one formula.

In Chapter 3 we introduce new variance reduction techniques and computational improvements to Monte Carlo methods for pricing American-style options. For simulation algorithms that compute lower bounds of American option values, we apply martingale control variates and introduce the local policy enhancement, which adopts a local simulation to improve the exercise policy. For duality-based upper bound methods, specifically the primal-dual simulation algorithm (Andersen and Broadie 2004), we have developed two improvements. One is sub-optimality checking, which saves unnecessary computation when it is sub-optimal to exercise the option along the sample path; the second is boundary distance grouping, which reduces computational time by skipping computation on selected sample paths based on the distance to the exercise boundary. Numerical results are given for single asset Bermudan options, moving window Asian options and Bermudan max options. In some examples the computational time is reduced by a factor of several hundred, while the confidence interval of the true option value is considerably tighter than before the improvements.

description: The stress as a response to strain prescribed as a harmonic excitation is examined in both transient and steady state regime for the viscoelastic body modeled by thermodynamically consistent fractional anti-Zener and Zener models by the use of the Laplace transform method. Assuming strain as a sine function, the time evolution of power per unit volume, previously derived as a sum of time derivative of a conserved term, which represents the rate of change of stored energy, and a dissipative term, which represents dissipated power, is investigated when expressed through the relaxation modulus and creep compliance. Further, two forms of energy and two forms of dissipated power per unit volume are examined in order to see whether they coincide.

Electromagnetically induced transparency

description: Electromagnetically Induced Transparency is an effect that allows light to propagate through an otherwise opaque material. Due to the dispersion properties of the EIT system, it also slows the information carried on the sideband frequencies of a light beam. The effect can also be used to store information in an atomic medium. It was therefore proposed that EIT systems can be applied in optical cicuits, specifically with regard to quantum information processing where it is necessary to delay, or store quantum states of light. Hence it is necessary to understand how EIT systems influence the quantum state of a light beam and whether EIT systems can ever have the potential to delay and store quantum information at the quantum noise limit. ¶ This thesis examines the transfer of an optical signal at the sideband frequencies through an EIT medium. A comprehensive characterisation of an EIT system in terms of delay and signal transmission is performed. This measurement technique provides data on EIT performance over a range of signal frequencies and a range of experimental parameters. Experiments were conducted with both pure Rubidium vapour and Rubidium vapour mixed with a noble gas. ¶ Studies have been made into a new system of measurement that will allow delay, attenuation and added noise spectra to be assessed via a single-shot measurement.

description: We show that the number of KLD (Karhunen-Lo`eve decomposition) modes D_KLD(f) needed to capture a fraction f of the total variance of an extensively chaotic state scales extensively with subsystem volume V. This allows a correlation length xi_KLD(f) to be defined that is easily calculated from spatially localized data. We show that xi_KLD(f) has a parametric dependence similar to that of the dimension correlation length and demonstrate that this length can be used to characterize high-dimensional inhomogeneous spatiotemporal chaos.

description: We discuss the analytical temporal response of a microring resonator excited through a bus waveguide by an optical rectangular pulse. Finite difference time domain (FDTD) simulations illustrate the analytical solution and help in understanding the meaning of the different coupling regimes. In addition, we show that the temporal dynamics allows determing the coupling regime while the commonly used spectral characterization in the stationary regime does not. We also take advantage of the simulation to highlight the phase shift between the input and the output signals in the different coupling regimes. Finally, measurements on a Si3N4 microring resonator are performed and analyzed in the case of under-coupling regime to illustrate how the time response study leads to the Q-factor determination.

description: Rapid response systems (RRSs) have been developed and implemented with the aim of improving recognition of and response to deteriorating patients. However, there is little evidence to support the effectiveness of such systems. A recurring theme within the clinical literature is that these systems are not activated or used effectively by nursing staff and the reasons for this are not fully understood. The practices of nurses who used an RRS are explored in this thesis. Ward patients also appear to be more vulnerable to deterioration in the hosptial after-hours; in response to this, a number of patient safety initatives have been developed. One of these initiatives is an after-hours nurse-led RRS, a service run by Advanced Practice Nurses (APNs). To date, there has been limited exploration of the impact of this patient safety intiative on patient outcomes. Whether the introduction the APN after-hours service improved patient outcomes is also explored in this thesis. To develop in-depth knowledge and understanding of this contemporary and complex area of clinical practice, a single exploratory case study with two separate units of analysis was used. The context of the case was a large teaching hospital in Queensland; the case was the deteriorating ward patient. The first unit of analysis was nurse’s practices of using an RRS. The second unit of analysis was patient outcomes. In the first unit of analysis, 15 registered nurses who had cared for a deteriorating ward patient were interviewed about their practices of using an RRS and the resulting transcripts were thematically analysed. Four themes relating to participants experiences and perceptions of RRSs emerged from the data. These themes were: (1) sensing clinical deterioration; (2) resisting and hesitating; (3) pushing the button; and (4) reflecting on the Medical Emergency Team (MET).

description: This paper discusses the integration challenges and strategies for designing mobile robots, by focusing on the task-driven, optimal selection of hardware and software to balance safety, efficiency, and minimal usage of resources such as costs, energy, computational requirements, and weight. We emphasize the interplay between perception and motion planning in decision-making by introducing the concept of occupancy queries to quantify the perception requirements for sampling-based motion planners. Sensor and algorithm performance are evaluated using False Negative Rates (FPR) and False Positive Rates (FPR) across various factors such as geometric relationships, object properties, sensor resolution, and environmental conditions. By integrating perception requirements with perception performance, an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) approach is proposed for efficient sensor and algorithm selection and placement. This forms the basis for a co-design optimization that includes the robot body, motion planner, perception pipeline, and computing unit. We refer to this framework for solving the co-design problem of mobile robots as CODEI, short for Co-design of Embodied Intelligence. A case study on developing an Autonomous Vehicle (AV) for urban scenarios provides actionable information for designers, and shows that complex tasks escalate resource demands, with task performance affecting choices of the autonomy stack. The study demonstrates that resource prioritization influences sensor choice: cameras are preferred for cost-effective and lightweight designs, while lidar sensors are chosen for better energy and computational efficiency.

description: Moustapha Dimé (1952-1998) is one of Senegal's most well known sculptors of the late 20th century. Despite his local and international clout, Dimé remains an enigmatic figure in art historical discourse. Documentation of his early years (prior to 1990) and the sculptures he achieved during this time is perfunctory. Despite more numerous publications on his works dating from the early nineties until his death, this dissertation is the first critical analysis of the artist and his contributions to post-colonial art and scholarship in Senegal. Over the course of a sustained professional career, Dimé engaged with multiple aspects of the practice of sculpture. He apprenticed with street carvers and furniture makers and then enrolled at the Centre de Formation Artisanale in Dakar to study woodworking. He subsequently attended the École Nationale des Beaux Arts in Senegal. By the time he reached middle age, Dimé was working in a style known in Senegal as récupération - in which found and acquired objects are assembled into a finished sculpture. Most often, scholars view Dimé's récupération works as a definitive rupture with his early carved work. This is one interpretation I challenge in this dissertation. Analysis of archival material reveals that Dimé's récupération works, while a departure from carving, were not a rejection of his earlier styles. Rather, I present evidence to suggest that Dimé arrived at récupération through a sustained investigation of sculptural methodology over the course of his career. In assessing the entirety of Dimé's oeuvre, one finds a continuous exploration of the concepts of identity, aesthetics, and spirituality as these are inscribed onto the sculpted form. Interpreted thus, Dimé's sculptures define a much more calculated approach to material and to the meaning of sculpture in post-colonial Senegal than has been previously understood.
Soil fauna recolonization of high elevation mine spoils in southeastern British Columbia
Creators: name: Lawrence, Joanne M.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Although a great deal of work is still to be done in this study, research may be summarized in a number of points. 1. Acari and Collembola are abundant on all study sites, including the youngest re claimed area. 2. Enchytraeids are present in the subalpine meadow, and absent from all reclaimed study sites. 3. Nematodes are very rare on the younger reclaimed study sites. 4. Dipterans (flies) are diverse and abundant on all sites. 5. Inoculation sources of soil organisms are likely found in small patches of undisturbed subalpine forest. 6. A trial introduction of earthworms successfully survived the summer of 1983. It is likely that this study will indicate that a desirable decomposer population of soil fauna is developing soon after the spoils have been reclaimed. The development of these spoils may be further enhanced by establishing favorable microsite conditions, providing an inoculation source, and possible inoculating reclaimed spoils with larger decomposer fauna such as earthworms. Attention to a number of details at the time of reclamation may ultimately enhance the decomposition/nutrient cycling processes, encourage self-sufficiency at an early age, and thus reduce fertilizer and other management costs.
From Economic Crisis to Political Crisis?: Changing Middle Class Political Attitudes in Moscow and St. Petersburg, 2008-2012

description: This paper examines why the middle class of Moscow and St. Petersburg, Russia, suddenly began protesting in large numbers during the 2011-2012 electoral cycle by assessing longer-term changes in the political attitudes of the professional middle class. This study analyzes three interrelated hypotheses to address this question: the impact of the global financial crisis, attitudes about liberal-democratic concerns, and views on government effectiveness. These trends are examined using data of responses to the survey question “What is the most important problem for the country?”, in 9 surveys conducted between March 2008 and March 2012. Corruption and red tape, the standard of living, housing and utilities, healthcare and education were of increasing concern to middle class groups in this period. The concerns of the middle class were not significantly different from those of the general population, but the middle class and particularly residents of Moscow and St. Petersburg were more critical when assessing all problems. Comparison with additional data demonstrates that participants in the 2011-2012 protests in the major cities shared similar concerns with the general population, but for most, participation in the protests made them significantly more interested in democracy.

description: A number of researchers have introduced topological structures on the set of laws of stochastic processes. A unifying goal of these authors is to strengthen the usual weak topology in order to adequately capture the temporal structure of stochastic processes. Aldous defines an extended weak topology based on the weak convergence of prediction processes. In the economic literature, Hellwig introduced the information topology to study the stability of equilibrium problems. Bion-Nadal and Talay introduce a version of the Wasserstein distance between the laws of diffusion processes. Pflug and Pichler consider the nested distance (and the weak nested topology) to obtain continuity of stochastic multistage programming problems. These distances can be seen as a symmetrization of Lassalle's causal transport problem, but there are also further natural ways to derive a topology from causal transport. Our main result is that all of these seemingly independent approaches define the same topology in finite discrete time. Moreover we show that this 'weak adapted topology' is characterized as the coarsest topology that guarantees continuity of optimal stopping problems for continuous bounded reward functions.

description: Let $M_n$ be the algebra of $n \times n$ complex matrices. We consider arbitrary subalgebras $\mathcal{A}$ of $M_n$ which contain the algebra of all upper-triangular matrices (i.e.\ block upper-triangular subalgebras), and their Jordan embeddings. We first describe Jordan embeddings $ϕ: \mathcal{A} \to M_n$ as maps of the form $ϕ(X)=TXT^{-1}$ or $ϕ(X)=TX^tT^{-1}$, where $T\in M_n$ is an invertible matrix, and then we obtain a simple criteria of when one block upper-triangular subalgebra Jordan-embeds into another (and in that case we describe the form of such embeddings). As a main result, we characterize Jordan embeddings $ϕ: \mathcal{A} \to M_n$ (when $n\geq 3$) as continuous injective maps which preserve commutativity and spectrum. We show by counterexamples that all these assumptions are indispensable (unless $\mathcal{A} = M_n$ when injectivity is superfluous).

Parallel Computation Using Generalized Models of Exactly Solvable Chaos

description: How chaos is useful in the brain information processing is greatly unknown. Here, we show that the statistical property of chaos such as invariant measures naturally organized under a great number of iterations of chaotic mappings can be used for some complex computations, while the precise information of initial conditions which vanishes in the course of iterations deos not matter for this kind of computations. The key observation of the present study is that computation using ergordicity of dynamical systems can be thought of as massively parallel Monte Carlo simulations. Here, to avoid difficulty in elucidating the ergordicity of dynamical systems, we propose computational schemes using the generalized class of one-dimensional chaos with explicit invariant measures. The validity of our results which connect chaos with parallel computation is checked by the precision computations of some transcendental numbers like π.

description: David Gabai showed that disk decomposable knot and link complements carry taut foliations of depth one. In an arbitrary sutured 3-manifold M, such foliations F, if they exist at all, are determined up to isotopy by an associated ray [F] issuing from the origin in H^1(M;R) and meeting points of the integer lattice H^1(M;Z). Here we show that there is a finite family of nonoverlapping, convex, polyhedral cones in H^1(M;R) such that the rays meeting integer lattice points in the interiors of these cones are exactly the rays [F]. In the irreducible case, each of these cones corresponds to a pseudo-Anosov flow and can be computed by a Markov matrix associated to the flow. Examples show that, in disk decomposable cases, these are effectively computable. Our result extends to depth one a well known theorem of Thurston for fibered 3-manifolds. The depth one theory applies to higher depth as well.

The research was inspired by the work of leadership theorists such as Hosking, Grint, Cunliffe and Sinclair, who each in their own ways, contend that relational leadership holds promise in contributing to the ceation of more collaborative, healthy and productive workplaces. Furthermore, researchers including Uhl-Bien and Ospina for example, contend that there is a great need to understand how relationality may support alternative leadership practices.

description: Population dynamics on a rugged landscape is studied analytically and numerically within a simple discrete model for evolution of N individuals in one-dimensional fitness space. We reduce the set of master equations to a single Fokker-Plank equation which allows us to describe the dynamics of the population in terms of thermo-activated Langevin diffusion of a single particle in a specific random potential. We found that the randomness in the mutation rate leads to pinning of the population and on average to a logarithmic slowdown of the evolution, resembling aging phenomenon in spin glass systems. In contrast, the randomness in the replication rate turns out to be irrelevant for evolution in the long-time limit as it is smoothed out by increasing ``evolution temperature''. The analytic results are in a good agreement with numerical simulations.

description: Quiescent galaxies (QGs) typically have little cold gas to form stars. The discovery of gas-rich QGs challenges our conventional understanding of the evolutionary paths of galaxies. We take advantage of a new catalog of nearby, massive galaxies with robust, uniformly derived physical properties to better understand the origin of gas-rich QGs. We perform a comparative analysis of the cold interstellar medium and star formation properties of carefully matched samples of galaxies with varying degrees of star formation activity and gas richness. QGs with different gas content have virtually identical morphological types, light concentration, mass-size relation, stellar age, dark matter halo mass, and black hole activity. The only distinguishing characteristic is the environment. Gas-rich satellite QGs reside in a lower-density environment than their gas-poor counterparts, as a consequence of which they manage to retain their gas and experience a higher probability of cold gas accretion or gas-rich mergers. The environmental densities of central QGs are similar regardless of their gas content. We suggest that the cold gas resides mainly in the outskirts of the gas-rich QGs, where bars, if present, cannot transport it inward efficiently to fuel central star formation. The prominent bulges in gas-rich QGs stabilize the cold gas from fragmentation and leads to low star formation efficiency.

description: Purpose: The aims of the study were to determine dual-task effects on content accuracy, delivery speed, and perceived effort during narrative discourse in people with moderate, mild, or no aphasia and to explore subjective reactions to retelling a story with a concurrent task.Method: Two studies (1 quantitative and 1 qualitative) were conducted. In Study 1, participants with mild or moderate aphasia and neurotypical controls retold short stories in isolation and while simultaneously distinguishing between high and low tones. Story retell accuracy (speech productivity and efficiency), speed (speech rate, repetitions, and pauses), and perceived effort were measured and compared. In Study 2, participants completed semistructured interviews about their story retell experience. These interviews were recorded, transcribed orthographically, and coded qualitatively using thematic analysis.Results: The dual task interfered more with spoken language of people with aphasia than controls, but different speed–accuracy trade-off patterns were noted. Participants in the moderate aphasia group reduced accuracy with little alteration to speed, whereas participants in the mild aphasia group maintained accuracy and reduced their speed. Participants in both groups also reported more negative emotional and behavioral reactions to the dual-task condition than their neurotypical peers. Intentional strategies for coping with the cognitive demands of the dual-task condition were only reported by participants with mild aphasia.Conclusion: The findings suggest that, although communicating with a competing task is more difficult for people with aphasia than neurotypical controls, participants with mild aphasia may be better able to cope with cognitively demanding communication situations than participants with moderate aphasia.

Method of constructing exactly solvable chaos

Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a new systematic method of constructing rational mappings as ergordic transformations with nonuniform invariant measures on the unit interval [0,1]. As a result, we obtain a two-parameter family of rational mappings that have a special property in that their invariant measures can be explicitly written in terms of algebraic functions of parameters and a dynamical variable. Furthermore, it is shown here that this family is the most generalized class of rational mappings possessing the property of exactly solvable chaos on the unit interval, including the Ulam=Neumann map y=4x(1-x). Based on the present method, we can produce a series of rational mappings resembling the asymmetric shape of the experimentally obtained first return maps of the Beloussof-Zhabotinski chemical reaction, and we can match some rational functions with other experimentally obtained first return maps in a systematic manner.

More than just MasterChef: a brief history of Australian cookery competitions
Creators: name: Samuelsson, Lauren
Publisher: name: University of Wollongong

description: Australians were involved in competitive cookery long before MasterChef.The earliest of Australia’s cooking competitions were at agricultural shows. In 1910, the Royal Agricultural Society of NSW hosted its first competition for “perishable foods” at the Royal Easter Show.Along with pastry and pickles, competitors could also be judged on their calf’s foot jelly.By the 1920s, the cookery category at the Easter Show had been firmly established. It was purely the preserve of women. Men were prohibited from entering and wouldn’t be allowed to enter until after the second world war.Women living in NSW and the ACT also entered their wares in the Country Women’s Association’s The Land Cookery Competition. Starting in 1949, the competition judged women on their ability to bake classics such as fruit cake, butter cake and lamingtons, offering modest prize money to the winners. It is still running today.These competitions are grounded in a history of cooking which saw women as “cooks” and men as “chefs”. Women were amateurs working in the home, while men worked in professional kitchens. This phenomenon continues today.Cookery competitions allowed women to receive recognition for their often-overlooked hard work and skill. Contestants were encouraged to break out of their comfort zones, to be creative, innovate and impress.
