Ricci Flow Approach to The Cosmological Constant Problem

description: In order to resolve the cosmological constant problem, the notion of reference frame is re-examined at the quantum level. By using a quantum non-linear sigma model (Q-NLSM), a theory of quantum spacetime reference frame (QSRF) is proposed. The underlying mathematical structure is a new geometry endowed with intrinsic 2nd central moment (variance) or even higher moments of its coordinates, which generalizes the classical Riemannian geometry based on only 1st moment (mean) of its coordinates. The 2nd central moment of the coordinates directly modifies the quadratic form distance which is the foundation of the Riemannian geometry. At semi-classical level, the 2nd central moment introduces a flow which continuously deforms the Riemannian geometry driven by its classical Ricci curvature, which is known as the Ricci flow. A generalized equivalence principle of quantum version is also proposed to interpret the new geometry endowed with at least 2nd moment. As a consequence, the spacetime is stabilized against quantum fluctuation, and the cosmological constant problem is resolved within the framework. With an isotropic positive curvature initial condition, the long flow time solution of the Ricci flow exists, the accelerating expansion universe at cosmic scale is an observable effect of the spacetime deformation of the normalized Ricci flow. A deceleration parameter -0.67 consistent with measurement is obtained by using the reduced volume method introduced by Perelman. Effective theory of gravity within the framework is also discussed.

description: If a magnetic field normal to the surface of a magnetic fluid is increased beyond a critical value a spontaneous deformation of the surface arises (normal field instability). The instability is subcritical and leads to peaks of a characteristic shape. We investigate the neighborhood of this instability experimentally under the influence of a temporal modulation of the magnetic field. We use a small vessel, where only one peak arises. The modulation can either be stabilizing or destabilizing, depending on the frequency and amplitude. We observe a cascade of odd-numbered response-periods up to period 11, and also a domain of even-numbered periods. We propose a minimal model involving a cutoff-condition which captures the essence of the experimental observations.

description: To develop a sustainable future for the rangelands, partnerships are needed — partnerships between scientists, policy makers, visitors, and most significantly, the various communities of people who live and work in the rangelands. The views of these people are as variable as the country about which they care; rangeland communities are not homogeneous. The power relations between these people are at the base of many conflicts. How we handle the relationships between these groups, and manage these conflicts, are crucial for success in land management. ¶ The first part of this thesis reviews the history of both community participation and power theory. While participatory approaches are part of the rhetoric in Australian land management, proponents are generally naïve about the complexities of power and power relations. The philosophical literature highlights that power is a contested concept; and these divisions are epitomised by the works of Habermas and Foucault. Their writings are compared and contrasted to provide a rich understanding of power relations in community participation. ¶ ...

description: We consider the classical problems of interpolating a polynomial given a black box for evaluation, and of multiplying two polynomials, in the setting where the bit-lengths of the coefficients may vary widely, so-called unbalanced polynomials. Writing s for the total bit-length and D for the degree, our new algorithms have expected running time $\tilde{O}(s \log D)$, whereas previous methods for (resp.) dense or sparse arithmetic have at least $\tilde{O}(sD)$ or $\tilde{O}(s^2)$ bit complexity.

description: Indium phosphide (InP) is an important III-V compound, with a variety of applications, for example, in light emitting diodes (LED), InP based photonic crystals and in semiconductor lasers, heterojunction bipolar transistors in integrated circuit applications and in transistors for microwave and millimeter-wave systems. The optical and electrical properties of this compound can be further tailored by ion implantation or prospectively by swift heavy ion beams. ¶ Thus knowledge of ion-induced disorder in this material is of important fundamental and practical interest. However, the disorder produced during heavy ion irradiation and the subsequent damage accumulation and recovery in InP is far from being completely understood. In terms of the damage accumulation mechanisms, the conclusions drawn in the numerous studies performed have often been in conflict with one another. A factor contributing to the uncertainties associated with these conflicting results is a lack of information and direct observation of the “building blocks” leading to the ultimate damage created at high ion fluences as an amorphous layer. These building blocks formed at lower fluence regimes by single ion impacts can be directly observed as isolated disordered zones and ion tracks for low energy and swift heavy ion irradiation, respectively. ¶ The primary aim of this work has thus been to obtain a better understanding of the disorder in this material through direct observations and investigation of disorder produced by individual heavy ions in both energy regimes (i.e. elastic and inelastic energy deposition regimes) especially with low ion fluence irradiations. In this thesis the heavy ion induced disorder introduced by low energy Au ions (100 keV Au+) and high energy Au (200 MeV Au+16) ion irradiation in InP were investigated using Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Rutherford Backscattering Spectrometry (RBS/C) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). ¶ ...

description: The capacity for memory is one of the most profound features of the mammalian brain, and the proper encoding and retrieval of information are the processes that form the basis of learning. The goal of this thesis is to further our understanding of the network-level mechanisms supporting learning and memory in the mammalian brain.
      The hippocampus has been long recognized to play a central role in learning and memory. Although being one of the most extensively studied structures in the brain, the precise circuit mechanisms underlying its function remain elusive. Principal cells in the hippocampus form complex representations of an animal's environment, but in stark contrast to the interneuron population -- and despite the apparent need for functional segregation -- these cells are largely considered a homogeneous population of coding units. Much work, however, has indicated that principal cells throughout the hippocampus, from the input node of the dentate gyrus to the output node of area CA1, differ developmentally, genetically, anatomically, and functionally.
      By employing in vivo two-photon calcium imaging in awake, behaving mice, we attempted to
      characterize the role of dened subpopulations of neurons in memory-related behaviors. In the
      first part of this thesis, we focus on the dentate gyrus input node of the hippocampus. Chapter 2 compares the functional properties of adult-born and mature granule cells. Chapter 3 expands on this work by comparing granule cells with mossy cells, another glutamatergic but relatively understudied cell type. The second part of this thesis focuses on the hippocampal output node, area CA1. In chapter 4, we characterize an inhibitory microcircuit that differentially targets the sublayers of area CA1. And in chapter 5, we directly compare the contributions of these sublayers to episodic and semantic memory.

description: Revenue management (RM) is the science of selling the right product, to the right person, at the right price. A key to the success of RM, which now spans a broad array of industries, is its grounding in mathematical modeling and analytics. This dissertation contributes to the development of new RM tools by: (1) exploring some fundamental tradeoffs underlying any RM problems, and (2) designing efficient algorithms for some RM applications. Another underlying theme of this dissertation is the modeling of customer preferences, a key component of any RM problem.
      The first chapters of this dissertation focus on the model selection problem: many demand models are available but picking the right model is a challenging task. In particular, we explore the tension between the richness of a model and its tractability. To quantify this tradeoff, we focus on the assortment optimization problem, a very general and core RM problem. To capture customer preferences in this context, we use choice models, a particular type of demand model. In Chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4 we design efficient algorithms for the assortment optimization problem under different choice models. By assessing the strengths and weaknesses of different choice models, we can quantify the cost in tractability one has to pay for better predictive power. This in turn leads to a better understanding of the tradeoffs underlying the model selection problem.
      In Chapter 5, we focus on a different question underlying any RM problem: choos- ing how to sell a given product. We illustrate this tradeoff by focusing on the problem of selling ad impressions via Internet display advertising platforms. In particular, we study how the presence of risk-averse buyers affects the desire for reservation con- tracts over real time buy via a second-price auction. In order to capture the risk aversion of buyers, we study different utility models.

description: Deep learning models have been used to support analytics beyond simple aggregation, where deeper and wider models have been shown to yield great results. These models consume a huge amount of memory and computational operations. However, most of the large-scale industrial applications are often computational budget constrained. In practice, the peak workload of inference service could be 10x higher than the average cases, with the presence of unpredictable extreme cases. Lots of computational resources could be wasted during off-peak hours and the system may crash when the workload exceeds system capacity. How to support deep learning services with a dynamic workload cost-efficiently remains a challenging problem. In this paper, we address the challenge with a general and novel training scheme called model slicing, which enables deep learning models to provide predictions within the prescribed computational resource budget dynamically. Model slicing could be viewed as an elastic computation solution without requiring more computational resources. Succinctly, each layer in the model is divided into groups of a contiguous block of basic components (i.e. neurons in dense layers and channels in convolutional layers), and then partially ordered relation is introduced to these groups by enforcing that groups participated in each forward pass always starts from the first group to the dynamically-determined rightmost group. Trained by dynamically indexing the rightmost group with a single parameter slice rate, the network is engendered to build up group-wise and residual representation. Then during inference, a sub-model with fewer groups can be readily deployed for efficiency whose computation is roughly quadratic to the width controlled by the slice rate. Extensive experiments show that models trained with model slicing can effectively support on-demand workload with elastic inference cost.

description: School leaders matter for school success. Recognition of the importance of school leadership has led to increased emphasis on instructional leadership, however, while broad agreement exists on the importance, there is less consensus on what aspects of instructional leadership maximise best opportunity for student learning. Several researchers in the last decade have distilled a summary of optimum leadership behaviours from research, across which there is much similarity. The most significant of these distillations is that of Robinson, Hohepa, and Lloyd (2009) who conducted the Best Evidence Synthesis (BES). This study is unique in that whilst the leadership behaviours of the BES are pre-eminent in research theory, they had not been previously tested in practice. There is abundant theory, but does the theory work in practice? Using the lens of Robinson et al. (2009) and six leadership dimensions drawn from their BES, this study across 127 schools and 1,612 teaching staff in a Catholic Education system located in Queensland used a mixed methods approach to examine the relationship between these leadership behaviours and school performance. This study identified the presence of these leadership behaviours and established a direct relationship with student outcomes. Further, this research significantly elaborates on the specific instructional leadership behaviours for school leaders to successfully enhance student learning outcomes and identifies contemporary specific actions school leaders may employ to maximise student learning through teacher efficacy. This research indicates the instructional leadership dimensions, drawn from Robinson et al.’s (2009) BES meta-analysis of direct evidence from 27 international quantitative studies, are applicable within the Australian Catholic context despite no Australian instructional leadership studies being included in that analysis.

description: A novel solve-training framework is proposed to train neural network in representing low dimensional solution maps of physical models. Solve-training framework uses the neural network as the ansatz of the solution map and train the network variationally via loss functions from the underlying physical models. Solve-training framework avoids expensive data preparation in the traditional supervised training procedure, which prepares labels for input data, and still achieves effective representation of the solution map adapted to the input data distribution. The efficiency of solve-training framework is demonstrated through obtaining solutions maps for linear and nonlinear elliptic equations, and maps from potentials to ground states of linear and nonlinear Schrödinger equations.

The drift and the inverse of the limit covariance matrix are expressed in terms of the zeros of classical Jacobi polynomials. We also rewrite the CLT in trigonometric form and determine the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the limit covariance matrices. These results are related to corresponding limits for $β$-Hermite and $β$-Laguerre ensembles for $β\to\infty$ by Dumitriu and Edelman and by Voit.

Ύστερα από έρευνα η βέλτιστη υλοποίηση για εφαρμογή σε αναδασωτικά προγράμματα είναι η χρήση ασύρματων τεχνολογιών και ειδικότερα της τεχνολογίας NB-IoT (Narrowband Internet of Things) που αποτελεί έναν εξελιγμένο τύπο ασύρματης επικοινωνίας που σχεδιάστηκε ειδικά για απαιτήσεις απομακρυσμένης επικοινωνίας με χαμηλή κατανάλωση. Γι’ αυτό θα δημιουργηθεί ένας κόμβος NB-IoT, ο οποίος θα συνδέεται με έναν αισθητήρα μέτρησης της περιμέτρου του δέντρου για να υπολογίζει τον ρυθμό ανάπτυξής του. Επίσης για αισθητήρα σκόπιμα επιλέχθηκε η χρήση rotary encoder, αφότου μπορεί να παρέχει υψηλή ακρίβεια στη μέτρηση της περιστροφικής θέσης, καθιστώντας τον κατάλληλο για εφαρμογές που απαιτούν ακριβή εντοπισμό θέση. Επιπλέον, δεν έχει ευαίσθητα κινούμενα μέρη όπως ένα ποτενσιόμετρο με γραφίτη. Η απουσία τέτοιων υλικών σημαίνει ότι χρησιμοποιείται χωρίς να επηρεάζεται από σκόνη, βρωμιά ή φθορά εξασφαλίζοντας την μακροχρόνια λειτουργία του και καθιστώντας τον ιδανικό για την χρήση του σε ένα δάσος . Έπειτα αναγκαία είναι και η δημιουργία ενός συστήματος συγκομιδής και διαχείρισης ενέργειας που θα διασφαλίζει την κατάλληλη διανομή ενέργειας στον κόμβο NB-IoT. Τέλος, ο προγραμματισμός του λογισμικού, η αποστολή δεδομένων σε απομακρυσμένο σημείο από τον κόμβο και η αρμονική σύνδεση των συστημάτων αποτελούν το σημείο όπου διαμορφώνεται το ολοκληρωμένο σύνολο της εφαρμογής του δεντρόμετρου για χρήση σε προγράμματα αναδάσωσης

description: There has been growing interest in investigating properties of elementary particles predicted by the standard model. Examples of such studies include exploring their low-energy analogs in condensed matter system, where they arise as collective states or quasiparticles. Here we show that a toolbox for systematically engineering the emergent elementary fermions, i.e., Dirac, Weyl and Majorana fermions, can be built in a single atomic system composed of a spinless magnetic dipolar Fermi gas in a 3D optical lattice. The designed direction-dependent dipole-dipole interaction leads to both the basic building block, i.e, in-plane p+ip superfluid pairing instability and the manipulating tool, i.e, out-of-plane Peierls instability. It is shown that the Peierls instability provides a natural way of tuning the topological nature of p+ip superfluids and thus transform the fermion's nature between distinct emergent particles. Our scheme should open up a new thrust towards searching for elementary particles through manipulating the topology.

description: The advanced technologies of the Internet of Things (IoT) provide modern environments support for medical applications and produce a vast amount of various types of health care data, such as sensors data, clinical data, omic data, and later transfer these data to Machine learning (ML) component for data extraction, its classification, and mining, and use the filtered data for prediction of the diseases. Further, Machine learning algorithms are facilitating mathematical comparison of collected datasets for decision making systems which can identify the current trend and forecasts future issues through learning. ML-based approaches can evaluate the conditions according to the data collection. Learning datasets play an important role in predicting accurately the existing and new problems future trends. Performance of learning models depends on the quality of data collection, therefore any distorted data of type grimy data, noisy data, messy data, and incomplete information leads to erroneous detection, estimation, and prediction. Further, the experimental results display the effectiveness of the proposed approach as an efficient adoption of machine learning algorithms into IoT applications in contrary to other models.

description: We consider Schmidt's game on the space of compact subsets of a given metric space equipped with the Hausdorff metric, and the space of continuous functions equipped with the supremum norm. We are interested in determining the generic behaviour of objects in a metric space, mostly in the context of fractal dimensions, and the notion of `generic' we adopt is that of being winning for Schmidt's game. We find properties whose corresponding sets are winning for Schmidt's game that are starkly different from previously established, and well-known, properties which are generic in other contexts, such as being residual or of full measure.

description: Autonomous vehicle platforms of varying spatial scales are employed within the research and development spectrum based on space, safety and monetary constraints. However, deploying and validating autonomy algorithms across varying operational scales presents challenges due to scale-specific dynamics, sensor integration complexities, computational constraints, regulatory considerations, environmental variability, interaction with other traffic participants and scalability concerns. In such a milieu, this work focuses on developing a unified framework for modeling and simulating digital twins of autonomous vehicle platforms across different scales and operational design domains (ODDs) to help support the streamlined development and validation of autonomy software stacks. Particularly, this work discusses the development of digital twin representations of 4 autonomous ground vehicles, which span across 3 different scales and target 3 distinct ODDs. We study the adoption of these autonomy-oriented digital twins to deploy a common autonomy software stack with an aim of end-to-end map-based navigation to achieve the ODD-specific objective(s) for each vehicle. Finally, we also discuss the flexibility of the proposed framework to support virtual, hybrid as well as physical testing with seamless sim2real transfer.

description: Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of Fluid intake on the Total Body Water (TBW), Intracellular Water (ICW), Extracellular Water (ECW) level, Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM) and Percentage Body Fat  (PBF) of Track and Field Athletes. Ten track and field athletes were randomly selected to fulfil the purpose of the study. All the athletes were in the age group of 23-26 only. A combination of four drugs namely: Sodium chloride, potassium chloride, dextrose, and sodium citrate were given as the fluid intake during different durations of time at controlled condition and intensity of the endurance run. The selected variables were measured by using a Body analyzer or bioelectrical impedance frequencies. The obtained data were analyzed by applying Repeated measure Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) to identify the effect of fluid intake at different intervals and to analyze if there was an interaction effect or not. An α-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results indicate that significant differences were found in the selected variables as 250 ml of fluid intake shows Fluctuation in Total Body Water (TBW) of Track and Field Athletes, as the p-value (.000) was < 0.05, also a significant difference in the Fluctuation in Intra-Cellular Water Mass (ICWM) of Track and Field Athletes, as the p-value (.000) was < 0.05, a significant difference in the Fluctuation in Extracellular Water Mass (ECWM) of Track and Field Athletes, as the p-value (.003) was < 0.05, a significant difference in the Fluctuation in Skeletal Muscle Mass (SMM) of Track and Field Athletes, as the p-value (.006) was <0.05 and a significant for the scores of Fluctuation in Percentage Body Fat (PBF) of Track and Field Athletes, as the p-value  (0.000) was < 0.05 at 5 % level of significance.

Στις επόμενες σελίδες, αναδεικνύονται ενδεικτικά μέθοδοι και τεχνικές εκπαίδευσης και ανάπτυξης του ανθρώπινου δυναμικού στο δημόσιο τομέα. Ως μελέτη περίπτωσης το Ιόνιο πανεπιστήμιο. Την σημασία της συνεχής και συστηματική προσπάθειας, προκειμένου οι εργαζόμενοι να είναι επαρκώς εκπαιδευμένοι για να φέρουν εις πέρας τους στόχους του οργανισμού. Η εκπαίδευση με την ανάπτυξη των ικανοτήτων του ατόμου και την αύξηση της απόδοσής του, συντελεί αφενός στην ατομική απόδοση του υπαλλήλου και αφετέρου στη συνολική αναβάθμιση του οργανισμού. Συνεπώς, η επιτυχία ενός οργανισμού τελεί σε απόλυτη εξάρτηση με το επίπεδο του προσωπικού του, γι’ αυτό σήμερα η επένδυση στην εκπαίδευση θεωρείται η πλέον κερδοφόρα και ασφαλής σε σχέση με τις λοιπές επενδύσεις. Το ανθρώπινο δυναμικό, αποτελεί τον κυριότερο παράγοντα για την αναβάθμιση του συστήματος διοίκησης. Αποτελεσματική εφαρμογή της ανάπτυξης του ανθρώπινου δυναμικού σημαίνει σε μεγάλο βαθμό κατάλληλες αρμοδιότητες και ικανότητες των δημοσίων υπαλλήλων στις εθνικές διοικήσεις. Με σκοπό να βελτιωθεί με αυτό τον τρόπο η αποδοτικότητα του υπαλλήλου και να χρησιμοποιηθούν οι γνώσεις του στο μέγιστο βαθμό έτσι ώστε να νοιώθει παραγωγικός και δημιουργικός και επιπλέον να μπορεί να υλοποιεί τους προσωπικούς του στόχους μέσω της επίτευξης των ομαδικών στόχων της εργασίας.

description: Leading complex projects requires a high level of understanding of the softer (e.g. people management) and harder (e.g. project management tools) skills of project management (Davis & Hobday, 2006). It also requires operating under the eight characteristics of complex adaptive systems and understanding the broader system the project is operating in. The eight characteristics of complex adaptive systems are: hierarchy, communication, control, emergence, phase transition, non-linearity, adaptiveness, and sensitive dependence on initial conditions. This study was conducted to explore leadership in complex projects within the UAE in the 21st Century. A qualitative exploratory case study was used to examine leadership, including an exploratory investigation of the impact that structural project complexities have on leadership in the UAE. A total of 33 interviews were conducted with project managers of complex projects in the UAE. All interviews were conducted in person and transcribed verbatim by the researcher. The results revealed that structural complexities do affect the leadership of complex projects, as does diversity and gender differences. However, managers reported this diversity as both a challenge and an opportunity, which adds to the complexity of the workplace relationships seen. Gender, experience and cultural complexities were further explored and the study found that ex-patriate women could be effective leaders of complex projects in the UAE; however, they use differing styles to male leaders. This was the first study of its kind to acknowledge these differences in the UAE and adds to the growing body of literature acknowledging the impact that structural complexities have on leadership behaviours in a Middle Eastern context.
