description: A Generative-Adversarial Network (GAN) based on convolutional neural networks is used to simulate the production of pairs of jets at the LHC. The GAN is trained on events generated using MadGraph5 + Pythia8, and Delphes3 fast detector simulation. We demonstrate that a number of kinematic distributions both at Monte Carlo truth level and after the detector simulation can be reproduced by the generator network with a very good level of agreement. The code can be checked out or forked from the publicly accessible online repository https://gitlab.cern.ch/disipio/DiJetGAN .

description: The deployment of large-scale distributed systems, e.g., publish-subscribe platforms, that operate over sensitive data using the infrastructure of public cloud providers, is nowadays heavily hindered by the surging lack of trust toward the cloud operators. Although purely software-based solutions exist to protect the confidentiality of data and the processing itself, such as homomorphic encryption schemes, their performance is far from being practical under real-world workloads. The performance trade-offs of two novel hardware-assisted memory protection mechanisms, namely AMD SEV and Intel SGX - currently available on the market to tackle this problem, are described in this practical experience. Specifically, we implement and evaluate a publish/subscribe use-case and evaluate the impact of the memory protection mechanisms and the resulting performance. This paper reports on the experience gained while building this system, in particular when having to cope with the technical limitations imposed by SEV and SGX. Several trade-offs that provide valuable insights in terms of latency, throughput, processing time and energy requirements are exhibited by means of micro- and macro-benchmarks.

Tailoring cosmologies in cubic shift-symmetric Horndeski gravity

description: We present a method for furnishing flat Friedman-Robertson-Walker spacetimes with nearly arbitrary dynamics in an important subclass of cubic Horndeski theory -- specifically shift-symmetric, cubic Horndeski theory with a vanishing conserved current. This builds on insight from previous work on the construction of static and spherically-symmetric hairy spacetimes in the same sector. The method is explicitly demonstrated by deriving exact analytical solutions describing an inflating universe and several power-law expansion scenarios, and by showing how the predicted evolution of the Hubble parameter in $Λ$CDM can be fit to a particular choice of Horndeski model function. We fully characterize the classes of cosmological models that cannot be generated purely by selecting a Horndeski model function.

description: This dissertation is about teacher education and employment in Russia, with a particular focus on correspondence teacher education programs.  Correspondence education is the focus of the study because it is typically excluded from research on teachers in Russia, and thus little empirical knowledge exists for the evaluation and comparison of correspondence program outcomes among teacher education graduates.  The two major types of higher education programs in Russia are daytime (students acquire content by attending lectures) and correspondence (students acquire content through independent reading).
      The research questions in the dissertation are: (a) how does recruitment into teaching differ for daytime and correspondence educated teachers (including who applies to the two different types of study programs)?, and (b) how does the type of study program (daytime or correspondence) impact employment at school level?  Primary data were gathered in Russia from school records (quantitative) and interviews (qualitative) with schoolteachers, directors, teacher education program students and faculty, and education policy makers.
      The qualitative analysis include the development of two typologies of students, the daytime and correspondence groups, with special attention to their decisions in choosing institutions of higher education, enrolling in programs of study, and career networking after graduation. The cycle of recruitment into teaching describes the real work and life circumstances for prospective and current teachers in Russia.
      The quantitative analysis includes ordinary least squares regression to test relationships between teacher variables, such as rate of pay and years of experience, across the daytime and correspondence program groups.  The quantitative findings indicate some differences between daytime and correspondence educated teachers in employment at the school level, although the type of education program was not a very influential factor.
      The study contributes to research on teachers in Russia by substantiating and deepening knowledge about university enrollment, in particular into correspondence education, and about professional programs for current and future teachers in Russia.

description: This project builds upon the author's multi-year critical ethnographic study of urban immigrant students and their trajectories into STEM (science, technology, engineering, or mathematics) from high school through their transition to college. At its core, this study investigates the paths of over three dozen newcomer immigrant English language learner students in high-poverty urban neighborhoods who are not generally considered “legitimate contenders” for Bachelor’s degrees in STEM fields on the basis of such characteristics as test scores, high school and prior preparation, and age. The students are followed through their high school experiences, their transition to college, and through their current progress in college, with explicit attention paid to key mediating experiences and relationships in and especially outside of the classroom that were associated with their toward persistence and success. Thick description and analysis of the students and their experiences, among those who persisted as well as the minority who switched out of STEM majors, helps to demonstrate a proof-of-concept of these students’ ability to succeed while painting a comprehensive picture of their march forward to degrees in STEM fields against a backdrop of economic, linguistic, and other barriers to entry and success. Using a framework of social and capital and resilience theories, this work has uncovered a number of themes and factors that will help educators to better understand the evolution of these traditionally marginalized students' STEM-related interests, skills, and career plans. The findings center around students’ exposure to research internships and other STEM enrichment and outreach experiences, long-term mentoring and other key relationships, and integration of STEM and college access efforts in setting them up for a successful transition to college, as well as an emphasis on the importance of students’ calling upon their own resilience and other strengths and prior experiences. The results provide novel insights and recommendations for improving access and persistence in STEM among students in areas of concentrated poverty who are also struggling with mastering a new language and a host of other challenges.

description: Lipid accumulation is a pathological feature of every type of kidney injury. However, despite this striking histological feature, physiological accumulation of lipids in the kidney is poorly understood. We studied whether the accumulation of lipids in the fasted kidney is derived from lipoproteins or non-esterified fatty acids (NEFAs). Increasing circulating NEFAs using a beta adrenergic receptor agonist caused a 15-fold greater accumulation of lipid in the kidney, while mice with reduced NEFAs due to adipose tissue deficiency of adipose triglyceride lipase had reduced renal triglycerides. Fasting-induced kidney lipid accumulation was not affected by inhibition of lipoprotein lipase (LpL) with poloxamer 407 or by use of mice with induced genetic LpL deletion. Despite the increase in CD36 expression with fasting, genetic loss of CD36 did not alter fatty acid uptake or triglyceride accumulation. Our data demonstrate that fasting-induced triglyceride accumulation in the kidney correlates with the plasma concentrations of NEFAs but is not due to uptake of lipoprotein lipids and does not involve the fatty acid transporter CD36.
      A second project was initiated to assess how diabetes causes increased systemic inflammation. Calgranulins S100A8 and S100A9 circulating levels are increased during diabetes and might instigate a sterile inflammatory response in the innate immune system. To determine whether krüppel-like factor 5 (KLF5) regulates S100A8 and S100A9 during hyperglycemia; we generated myeloid-specific KLF5 knockout mice (MKK) and found these mice had no change in circulating monocytes and neutrophils. We isolated neutrophils from these mice and found that S100A8 and S100A9 expression was not changed. We found similar null results when these mice were made diabetic. We conclude that this line of myeloid-deficient KLF5 knockout mice do not have changes in S100A8 or S100A9 expression or in the numbers of circulating white cells.

description: A version of the Gaussian self-consistent (GSC) method, which avoids the use of the Edwards' virial expansion, is presented. Instead, the mean energy is evaluated directly via a convolution of the attractive part of the pair-wise non-bonded potential with the Gaussian trial radial distribution function. The hard sphere repulsion is taken into account via a suitably generalised Carnahan-Starling term. Comparison of the mean-squared inter-monomer distances and radius of gyration, as well as of the mean energy, between the results from the GSC calculations and Monte Carlo (MC) simulation in continuous space are made across the coil-to-globule transition for isolated ring, open and star homopolymers of varied lengths and flexibility. Importantly, both techniques utilise the same polymer model so that the data points could be directly superimposed. A surprisingly good overall agreement is found between these GSC and MC results. Caveats of the Gaussian technique and ways for going beyond it are also discussed.

description: We present advances in modeling Type IIP supernovae using MESA for evolution to shock breakout coupled with STELLA for generating light and radial velocity curves. Explosion models and synthetic light curves can be used to translate observable properties of supernovae (such as the luminosity at day 50 and the duration of the plateau, as well as the observable quantity $ET$, defined as the time-weighted integrated luminosity that would have been generated if there was no ${\rm ^{56}Ni}$ in the ejecta) into families of explosions which produce the same light curve and velocities on the plateau. These predicted families of explosions provide a useful guide towards modeling observed SNe, and can constrain explosion properties when coupled with other observational or theoretical constraints. For an observed supernova with a measured ${\rm ^{56}Ni}$ mass, breaking the degeneracies within these families of explosions (ejecta mass, explosion energy, and progenitor radius) requires independent knowledge of one parameter. We expect the most common case to be a progenitor radius measurement for a nearby supernova. We show that ejecta velocities inferred from the Fe II$λ$ 5169 line measured during the majority of the plateau phase provide little additional information about explosion characteristics. Only during the initial shock cooling phase can photospheric velocity measurements potentially aid in unraveling light curve degeneracies.

In contrast to the eigenvalue problems considered in our previous work, all eigenvalues are real and solve the usual characteristic equation. We give an elementary construction of the corresponding eigenmatrices, and we further speculate on a possible application to particle physics.

description: We point out an equivalence between the discrete velocity method of solving the Boltzmann equation, of which the lattice Boltzmann equation method is a special example, and the approximations to the Boltzmann equation by a Hermite polynomial expansion. Discretizing the Boltzmann equation with a BGK collision term at the velocities that correspond to the nodes of a Hermite quadrature is shown to be equivalent to truncating the Hermite expansion of the distribution function to the corresponding order. The truncated part of the distribution has no contribution to the moments of low orders and is negligible at small Mach numbers. Higher order approximations to the Boltzmann equation can be achieved by using more velocities in the quadrature.

description: Zur Erzeugung von 7 kW elektrischer Leistung mittels einer Biogasanlage benötigt man einen Tierbestand von etwa 120 Großvieheinheiten. Betrachtet man die derzeitige Marktsituation für Biogasmotore, so zeigt sich, daß in diesem Leistungsbereich selbst unter günstigsten Randbedingungen die Elektrizitätserzeugung aus Biogas völlig unökonomisch ist. Bei einer Verwertung des Gases zur ausschließlichen Wärmeerzeugung kann jedoch unter bestimmten Voraussetzungen mit einer Wirtschaftlichkeit gerechnet werden. Soll die kombinierte Elektrizitäts-Wärmeerzeugung gegenüber der reinen Wärmeerzeugung konkurrenzfähig werden, so bedarf es hierzu einer nicht unerneblichen technisch-wirtschaftlichen Verbesserung der Gasmotore sowie einer Verschiebung der Preisrelation von Heiz- und Elektroenergie.

description: Specialized associations between interacting species are a fundamental determinant of the diversity and distribution of both partners. How specialization of guildsof organisms varies along environmental gradients underpins popular theories of biogeography and macroecology, whereas the degree of specialization of a speciesis typically considered fixed. However, the extent to which environmental context impacts specialization dynamics is seldom examined empirically. In this study, we examine how specialization within a bipartite network consisting of three co-occurring plant species and their foliar fungal endophyte symbionts changes along a 1 000-meter elevation gradient where host species were held constant. The gradient, along the slope of Mauna Loashield volcano, represents the entire elevational range of two of the three plants. Network and plant specialization values displayed a parabolic relationship with elevation, and were highest at middle elevations, whereas bipartite associations were least specific at low and high elevations. Shannon’s diversity of fungal endophytes negatively correlated with specificity, and was highest at the ends of the transects. Although plant host was a strong determinant of fungal community composition within sites, fungal species turnover was high among sites and plant host predicted a significant proportion of compositional variance. There was no evidence of spatial or elevational patterning in fungal community compositon. Our work demonstrates that specificity can be a plastic trait which is influenced by the environment and centrality of the host within its natural range.

description: We consider collisional properties of polyatomic aromatic hydrocarbon molecules immersed into ultracold atomic gases and investigate intermolecular interactions of exemplary benzene, naphthalene, and azulene with alkali-metal (Li, Na, K, Rb, Cs) and alkaline-earth-metal (Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba) atoms. We apply the state-of-the-art \textit{ab initio} techniques to compute the potential energy surfaces (PESs). We use the coupled cluster method restricted to single, double, and noniterative triple excitations to reproduce the correlation energy and the small-core energy-consistent pseudopotentials to model the scalar relativistic effects in heavier metal atoms. We also report the leading long-range isotropic and anisotropic dispersion and induction interaction coefficients. The PESs are characterized in detail and the nature of intermolecular interactions is analyzed and benchmarked using symmetry-adapted perturbation theory. The full three-dimensional PESs are provided for selected systems within the atom-bond pairwise additive representation and can be employed in scattering calculations. Presented study of the electronic structure is the first step towards the evaluation of prospects for sympathetic cooling of polyatomic aromatic molecules with ultracold atoms. We suggest azulene, an isomer of naphthalene which possesses a significant permanent electric dipole moment and optical transitions in the visible range, as a promising candidate for electric field manipulation and buffer-gas or sympathetic cooling.

description: We have investigated the temperature-dependent morphology and composition changes occurring during a controlled self-assembling of thin Au film on the Gallium arsenide (001) surface utilizing electron microscopy at nano and atomic levels. It has been found that the deposition of 2 ML of Au at a substrate temperature lower than 798 K leads to the formation of pure Au nanoislands. For the deposition at a substrate temperature of about 798 K the nanostructures of the stoichiometric AuGa phase were/had been grown. Gold deposition at higher substrate temperatures results in the formation of octagonal nanostructures composed of an AuGa2 alloy. We have proved that the temperature-controlled efficiency of Au-induced etching-like of the GaAs substrate follows in a layer-by-layer manner leading to the enrichment of the substrate surface in gallium. The excess Ga together with Au forms liquid droplets which, while cooling the sample to room temperature, crystallize therein developing crystalline nanostructures of atomically-sharp interfaces with the substrate. The minimal stable cluster of 3 atoms and the activation energy for the surface diffusion Ed=0.816+-0.038eV was determined. We show that by changing the temperature of the self-assembling process one can control the phase, interface and the size of the nanostructures formed.

description: The activated torsion oscillation magnetometer exploits the mechanical resonance of a cantilever beam, driven by the torque exerted on the sample by an ac field applied perpendicularly to the film plane. We describe a model for the cantilever dynamics which leads to the calculation of the cantilever dynamic profile and allows the mechanical sensitivity of the instrument to be expressed in terms of the minimum electronically detectable displacement. We have developed a capacitance detector of small oscillations which is able to detect displacements of the order of 0.1 nm. We show that sensitivities of the order of 0.5(10-11 Am2 can be in principle achieved. We will subsequently describe the main features of the ATOM prototype which we have built and tested, with particular attention to the design solutions which have been adopted in order to reduce the effects of parasitic vibrations due either to acoustic noise, originating from the ac field coil, or to eddy currents in the capacitor electrodes. The instrument is mounted in a continuous flow cryostat and can work in the 4.2-300 K temperature range. Finally, we will show that our experimental set-up has a second mode of operation, named Torsion Induction Magnetometer (TIM).

description: Univariate and multivariate growth curve analysis were conducted to examine the shape of change of 61 patients receiving either long-term psychodynamic therapy (N=43), or psychoanalysis (N=18).  Outcome measures were the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), the Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology (QUIDS), the Social Adjustment Scale (SAS), and the Inventory of Interpersonal Relationship (IIP).  Results: when variables are examined separately and jointly using the whole sample, one year of psychoanalytic treatment does not produce significant differences in rates of improvement between patients, indicating that the shape of change over the first year can be generalized to the sample. For QUIDS, BAI, and SAS levels, the shape of change can be described as a slightly downward straight line. For IIP levels, there may be some significant up and downturns suggesting a quadratic trajectory. For clinical course (QUIDS with BAI), the shape of change can be described as a straight, horizontal line, whereas for social adjustment (SAS with IIP), the shape of change is best described as a downward line. For social adjustment (SAS with IIP), the dynamic therapy group has more pronounced rates of improvement than the psychoanalysis group, and higher baseline levels are related to steeper slopes in dynamic therapy whereas for psychoanalysis higher initial levels tend to produce flatter. Clinical and conceptual implication as well as limitations of the study design are discussed.

description: Since 1966, Suncor’s Pond 1 has operated as part of the shoreline of the Athabasca River in northeastern Alberta, Canada. Perched in this sensitive area, this pond is almost unique in the Canadian landscape and represents a bygone era. Operated as an active pond for over thirty years, Suncor committed to close the pond by 2010 and applied dedicated resources, both technical and operational, to achieve that goal. The challenges associated with closing an oil sands tailings pond were unknown, as it had not been attempted prior to the Pond 1 efforts. The successful infilling of the pond was completed in 2009, and final surface landforming and revegetation will be complete by the fall of 2010. The reclamation techniques, many used for the first time in oil sands, represent an evolution in reclamation practice over forty years.

description: We propose a hierarchical distributed algorithm to solve optimal power flow (OPF) problems that aim at dispatching controllable distributed energy resources (DERs) for voltage regulation at minimum cost. The proposed algorithm features unprecedented scalability to large multi-phase distribution networks by jointly exploring the tree/subtrees structure of a large radial distribution network and the structure of the linearized distribution power flow (LinDistFlow) model to derive a hierarchical, distributed implementation of the primal-dual gradient algorithm that solves OPF. The proposed implementation significantly reduces the computation loads compared to the centrally coordinated implementation of the same primal-dual algorithm without compromising optimality. Numerical results on a 4,521-node test feeder show that the designed algorithm achieves more than 10-fold acceleration in the speed of convergence compared to the centrally coordinated primal-dual algorithm through reducing and distributing computational loads.

Gravitational radiation from infall into a black hole: Regularization of the Teukolsky equation
Creators: name: Poisson, Eric
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1996
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: The Teukolsky equation has long been known to lead to divergent integrals when it is used to calculate the gravitational radiation emitted when a test mass falls into a black hole from infinity. Two methods have been used in the past to remove those divergent integrals. In the first, integrations by parts are carried out, and the infinite boundary terms are simply discarded. In the second, the Teukolsky equation is transformed into another equation which does not lead to divergent integrals. The purpose of this paper is to show that there is nothing intrinsically wrong with the Teukolsky equation when dealing with non-compact source terms, and that the divergent integrals result simply from an incorrect choice of Green's function. In this paper, regularization of the Teukolsky equation is carried out in an entirely natural way which does not involve modifying the equation.

description: We perform a systematic slave-boson mean-field analysis of the three-band model for cuprates with first-principle parameters. Contrary to widespread believe based on earlier mean-field computations low doping stripes have a linear density close to 1/2 added hole per lattice constant. We find a dimensional crossover from 1D to 2D at doping $\sim 0.1$ followed by a breaking of particle-hole symmetry around doping 1/8 as doping increases. Our results explain in a simple way the behavior of the chemical potential, the magnetic incommensurability, and transport experiments as a function of doping. Bond centered and site-centered stripes become degenerate for small overdoping.

description: The early-time critical dynamics of continuous, Ising-like phase transitions is studied numerically for two-dimensional lattices of coupled chaotic maps. Emphasis is laid on obtaining accurate estimates of the dynamic critical exponents θ' and z. The critical points of five different models are investigated, varying the mode of update, the coupling, and the local map. Our results suggest that the nature of update is a relevant parameter for dynamic universality classes of extended dynamical systems, generalizing results obtained previously for the static properties. They also indicate that the universality observed for the static properties of Ising-like transitions of synchronously-updated systems does not hold for their dynamic critical properties.

description: We report the first measurement of the neutron cross section on argon in the energy range of 100-800 MeV. The measurement was obtained with a 4.3-hour exposure of the Mini-CAPTAIN detector to the WNR/LANSCE beam at LANL. The total cross section is measured from the attenuation coefficient of the neutron flux as it traverses the liquid argon volume. A set of 2,631 candidate interactions is divided in bins of the neutron kinetic energy calculated from time-of-flight measurements. These interactions are reconstructed with custom-made algorithms specifically designed for the data in a time projection chamber the size of the Mini-CAPTAIN detector. The energy averaged cross section is $0.91 \pm{} 0.10~\mathrm{(stat.)} \pm{} 0.09~\mathrm{(sys.)}~\mathrm{barns}$. A comparison of the measured cross section is made to the GEANT4 and FLUKA event generator packages.

Patient Accessibility to Primary Healthcare in Brooklyn, New York

description: The primary concern for patients in healthcare shortage areas is accessibility, which in turn can reduce the long-term costs necessitated by treating initially undiagnosed illnesses. This thesis examines primary healthcare resources in Brooklyn, New York, revealing the barriers that prevent doctors from providing care and patients from receiving care, as well as areas with low accessibility to primary care. The key to accessibility is the provision of primary healthcare during business hours as well as nights and weekends, in addition to the ability to accept walk-ins.
In the past, urban planners and public health professionals have worked closely together to provide buildings and services to serve these needs, although in the recent past this cooperation has not been present in New York State. This thesis stands as the first part of the research required for the integration of primary care resources in Brooklyn communities, as well as recommendations that begin to retie the urban planning and public health professions. Research design consists of a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods in the following forms: policy research, surveying existing primary care providers in Brooklyn, mapping of existing resources and demographic conditions, cluster analysis, and interviews with healthcare provider professionals.

description: Number theorists have studied extensively the connections between the distribution of zeros of the Riemann $ζ$-function, and of some generalizations, with the statistics of the eigenvalues of large random matrices. It is interesting to compare the average moments of these functions in an interval to their counterpart in random matrices, which are the expectation values of the characteristic polynomials of the matrix. It turns out that these expectation values are quite interesting. For instance, the moments of order 2K scale, for unitary invariant ensembles, as the density of eigenvalues raised to the power $K^2$ ; the prefactor turns out to be a universal number, i.e. it is independent of the specific probability distribution. An equivalent behaviour and prefactor had been found, as a conjecture, within number theory. The moments of the characteristic determinants of random matrices are computed here as limits, at coinciding points, of multi-point correlators of determinants. These correlators are in fact universal in Dyson's scaling limit in which the difference between the points goes to zero, the size of the matrix goes to infinity, and their product remains finite.

Compact directed percolation with movable partial reflectors

description: We study a version of compact directed percolation (CDP) in one dimension in which occupation of a site for the first time requires that a "mine" or antiparticle be eliminated. This process is analogous to the variant of directed percolation with a long-time memory, proposed by Grassberger, Chate and Rousseau [Phys. Rev. E 55, 2488 (1997)] in order to understand spreading at a critical point involving an infinite number of absorbing configurations. The problem is equivalent to that of a pair of random walkers in the presence of movable partial reflectors. The walkers, which are unbiased, start one lattice spacing apart, and annihilate on their first contact. Each time one of the walkers tries to visit a new site, it is reflected (with probability r) back to its previous position, while the reflector is simultaneously pushed one step away from the walker. Iteration of the discrete-time evolution equation for the probability distribution yields the survival probability S(t). We find that S(t) \sim t^{-delta}, with delta varying continuously between 1/2 and 1.160 as the reflection probability varies between 0 and 1.

Quantifying FAIR: automated metadata improvement and guidance in the DataONE repository network

Subjects: metadata FAIR guidance

description: DataONE has consistently focused on interoperability among data repositories to enable seamless access to well-described data on the Earth and the environment. Our existing services promote data discovery and access through harmonization of the diverse metadata specifications used across communities, and through our integrated data search portal and services. In terms of the FAIR principles, we have done a good job at Findable and Accessible, while as a community we have placed less emphasis on Interoperable and Reusable. We present new DataONE services for quantitatively providing guidance on metadata completeness and effectiveness relative to the FAIR principles. The services produce guidance for FAIRness at both the level of an individual data set and trends through time for repository, user, and funder data collections. These analytical results regarding conformance to FAIR principles are preliminary and based on proposed quantitative assessment metrics for FAIR which will be changed with input from the community. The current statistics are based on version 0.2.0 of the DataONE FAIR suite. Thus, these results should not be viewed as conclusive about the data sets presented, but rather illustrate the types of quantitative comparisons that will be able to be made when the FAIR metrics at DataONE have been finalized.
