description: We consider two important time scales---the Markov and cryptic orders---that monitor how an observer synchronizes to a finitary stochastic process. We show how to compute these orders exactly and that they are most efficiently calculated from the epsilon-machine, a process's minimal unifilar model. Surprisingly, though the Markov order is a basic concept from stochastic process theory, it is not a probabilistic property of a process. Rather, it is a topological property and, moreover, it is not computable from any finite-state model other than the epsilon-machine. Via an exhaustive survey, we close by demonstrating that infinite Markov and infinite cryptic orders are a dominant feature in the space of finite-memory processes. We draw out the roles played in statistical mechanical spin systems by these two complementary length scales.

Bringing situated knowledges and counter-narratives into the newsroom : Muslim female journalists in Canadian media
Creators: name: Maqsood, Hafsa
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: This thesis explores the experiences of Muslim women in Canadian journalism. Academic literature on racialized female-identifying journalists in Canada approaches them as a monolith under an umbrella of “women of colour,” further highlighting their experiences with newsroom microaggressions along with establishing their struggles with diversity representation and tokenization. However, rarely does such research explore how those struggles and experiences are negotiated or challenged by these women, if at all. Literature on Muslim women in Canada also focuses heavily on gendered Islamophobic discrimination and how they are affected by Islamophobic media representation. It has yet to venture into how Muslims (regardless of gender) negotiate such media representation in professional media production roles. Through a critical discourse analysis of qualitative interviews with eight Muslim female journalists, this research elucidates their experiences with a gendered-religious nuance considering the specificities of gendered Islamophobia. It further moves past the established discourse of racialized women in media facing burdens of representation to examine how they unite their situated knowledge and lived experience with journalism epistemology to challenge gendered Islamophobic discourses and cultivate a philosophy of presence in newsrooms. Drawing on theoretical frameworks like critical race theory, Orientalism, and discourse, this thesis ultimately finds that the women challenge dominant discourses of objectivity in journalism as well as Orientalist, Islamophobic discourses surrounding Muslim women. They accomplish this through 1) the work they choose to take on in their journalism, 2) the work they refuse, 3) drawing on Islamic principles in their journalism, and 4) cultivating spaces of community and solidarity within the white-dominated structures of the Canadian news media industry.
On a continued fraction expansion for Euler's constant

description: Recently, A. I. Aptekarev and his collaborators found a sequence of rational approximations to Euler's constant $γ$ defined by a third-order homogeneous linear recurrence. In this paper, we give a new interpretation of Aptekarev's approximations in terms of Meijer $G$-functions and hypergeometric-type series. This approach allows us to describe a very general construction giving linear forms in 1 and $γ$ with rational coefficients. Using this construction we find new rational approximations to $γ$ generated by a second-order inhomogeneous linear recurrence with polynomial coefficients. This leads to a continued fraction (though not a simple continued fraction) for Euler's constant. It seems to be the first non-trivial continued fraction expansion convergent to Euler's constant sub-exponentially, the elements of which can be expressed as a general pattern. It is interesting to note that the same homogeneous recurrence generates a continued fraction for the Euler-Gompertz constant found by Stieltjes in 1895.

description: In this paper, we study the existence of high-dimensional, closed, smooth manifolds whose rational homotopy type resembles that of a projective plane. Applying rational surgery, the problem can be reduced to finding possible Pontryagin numbers satisfying the Hirzebruch signature formula and a set of congruence relations, which turns out to be equivalent to finding solutions to a system of Diophantine equations.

description: We study the dynamical evolution of an $f(R)$ model of gravity in a viscous and anisotropic background which is given by a Bianchi type-I model of the Universe. We find viable forms of $f(R)$ gravity in which one is exactly the Einsteinian model of gravity with a cosmological constant and other two are power law $f(R)$ models. We show that these two power law models are stable with a suitable choice of parameters. We also examine three potentials which exhibit the potential effect of $f(R)$ models in the context of scalar tensor theory. By solving different aspects of the model and finding the physical quantities in the Jordan frame, we show that the equation of state parameter satisfy the dominant energy condition. At last we show that the two power law $f(R)$ models behave like quintessence model at late times and also the shear coefficient viscosity tends to zero at late times.

Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2022

description: This thesis analyses the use of 'Evidence-Based' methodologies of evidence assessment and intervention and policy design from medicine, and their use in sport and exercise science. It argues that problems exist with the application of Evidence-Based methodologies in sports science, meaning that the quality of evidence used to inform decision-making is lower than is often assumed. This thesis also offers realistic solutions to these problems, broadly arguing for the importance of taking evidence from mechanistic studies seriously, in addition to evidence from RCTs.

Towards understanding trust, privacy, and safety management among Facebook Marketplace users
Creators: name: Mokhberi, Azadeh
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Although peer-to-peer (P2P) marketplaces have become increasingly popular, they raise many trust, privacy, and safety issues. There is a growing interest among individuals in using such marketplaces for buying and selling second-hand items. Such platforms foster trading, and expand users’ access to a wide range of items with good prices. However, according to police and previous studies, such platforms raise many new trust challenges, privacy problems, and safety risks. Facebook Marketplace is one type of P2P marketplace platform. Facebook Marketplace (FM) and similar platforms have some unique characteristics that distinguish them from other, previously- studied marketplace platforms. We found a gap in investigating trust, privacy, and safety (TPS) on such platforms. More importantly, there is a lack of study of how FM users manage these aspects in trading. This thesis utilizes a human-centered approach to explore the trust, privacy, and safety aspects of trading on FM from the perspectives and experiences of users. To further facilitate the free expression of thoughts and the addition of information, a total of 42 1-on-1 interviews were conducted through Zoom with recruited various FM users, 19-75-year-olds, who lived in North America. We used this method to understand how FM users manage their TPS aspects during FM trading. To understand and visualize participants’ TPS aspects management, we developed two distinct frameworks that describe the TPS-related factors and strategies of participants. The research findings revealed the complex and multifaceted nature of these aspects. It also highlights the importance of five types of factors including pre-existing concerns, signals, social norms, perceived benefits, and platform design specifics that either hinder, promote, or influence the priority of TPS in shaping participants’ decision making around TPS when using FM. The results highlight that users employ four types of TPS-related strategies, namely: trader selection and screening, information collection and sharing, negotiation of in-person trading details, and in-person interaction. In this study, we have identified various types of challenges, tensions, trade-offs, and discrepancies that users faced. In conclusion, we emphasize the existing gaps in this area of research for future studies and offer recommendations for both researchers and designers.
Energy-Efficient Multiprocessor Scheduling for Flow Time and Makespan

description: We consider energy-efficient scheduling on multiprocessors, where the speed of each processor can be individually scaled, and a processor consumes power $s^α$ when running at speed $s$, for $α>1$. A scheduling algorithm needs to decide at any time both processor allocations and processor speeds for a set of parallel jobs with time-varying parallelism. The objective is to minimize the sum of the total energy consumption and certain performance metric, which in this paper includes total flow time and makespan. For both objectives, we present instantaneous parallelism clairvoyant (IP-clairvoyant) algorithms that are aware of the instantaneous parallelism of the jobs at any time but not their future characteristics, such as remaining parallelism and work. For total flow time plus energy, we present an $O(1)$-competitive algorithm, which significantly improves upon the best known non-clairvoyant algorithm and is the first constant competitive result on multiprocessor speed scaling for parallel jobs. In the case of makespan plus energy, which is considered for the first time in the literature, we present an $O(\ln^{1-1/α}P)$-competitive algorithm, where $P$ is the total number of processors. We show that this algorithm is asymptotically optimal by providing a matching lower bound. In addition, we also study non-clairvoyant scheduling for total flow time plus energy, and present an algorithm that achieves $O(\ln P)$-competitive for jobs with arbitrary release time and $O(\ln^{1/α}P)$-competitive for jobs with identical release time. Finally, we prove an $Ω(\ln^{1/α}P)$ lower bound on the competitive ratio of any non-clairvoyant algorithm, matching the upper bound of our algorithm for jobs with identical release time.

To this aim we introduce the following new tools: some monotonicity formulas for varifolds in $\mathbb{R}^S$ involving $\int |H|^p$, to avoid degeneracy of the minimizer, and a sort of isoperimetric inequality to bound the mass in terms of the mentioned functionals.

description: Linear differential equations are ubiquitous in science and engineering. Quantum computers can simulate quantum systems, which are described by a restricted type of linear differential equations. Here we extend quantum simulation algorithms to general inhomogeneous sparse linear differential equations, which describe many classical physical systems. We examine the use of high-order methods to improve the efficiency. These provide scaling close to $Δt^2$ in the evolution time $Δt$. As with other algorithms of this type, the solution is encoded in amplitudes of the quantum state, and it is possible to extract global features of the solution.

On paradigm shifts : enabling proactive defenses by identifying the vulnerable population, and online bitemporal dynamic graph analytics
Creators: name: Halawa, Hassan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2023

description: Fueled by the massive amount of data and meta-data harvested by large-scale online service providers, two trends stand out: the broad adoption of machine learning particularly for cybersecurity defenses, and the growing pains of temporal graph analytics particularly for dynamically evolving systems. In this dissertation, my overarching goal is to explore novel ways: to effectively harness this harvested data to evidently improve the security of online platforms in general and their most vulnerable users in particular, and to explicitly model the temporal evolution of this data to efficiently enable business use cases that can not be served by existing graph analytics systems. To that end, I advocate for a paradigm shift across two high impact domains: cybersecurity and graph analytics. On the one hand, existing cybersecurity defenses are reactive, and victim-agnostic: they are predicated on identifying the attacks/attackers, and do not take user characteristics into account. In contrast, I propose a proactive approach based on identifying the vulnerable population, and leveraging this information to improve the security of the platform in general and the most vulnerable users in particular. To that end, I approach harnessing the vulnerable population under a victim-centric defense paradigm while contrasting against conventional defenses, and demonstrate its feasibility using four months of production data encompassing billions of events from hundreds of millions of users. To my knowledge, I am the first to propose and discuss such a defense paradigm. On the other hand, existing graph analytics systems are mostly static, and non-temporal: they are not fully able to support modeling systems that evolve dynamically over time while supporting the queries (including current state, historical, and audit queries) required by today's use cases. In contrast, I contend that future graph analytics systems should be: online, dynamic, and employ bitemporal modeling at their core. To that end, I examine the use cases that are an ideal match for an online bitemporal dynamic graph analytics system, explore the design trade-off space, and develop and characterize several designs targeting different points within that space. To my knowledge, I am the first to propose, develop, and characterize such a system end-to-end.

The purpose of this article is to provide an alternative proof of Merry's result. We construct a continuation homomorphism for symplectic deformations which enables us to reduce the computation to the untwisted case. Our construction takes advantage of a special version of the isoperimetric inequality which above Mane's critical value holds true.

description: The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) programme ‘Systematizing Confidence in Open Research and Evidence' (SCORE) aims to generate confidence scores for a large number of research claims from empirical studies in the social and behavioural sciences. The confidence scores will provide a quantitative assessment of how likely a claim will hold up in an independent replication. To create the scores, we follow earlier approaches and use prediction markets and surveys to forecast replication outcomes. Based on an initial set of forecasts for the overall replication rate in SCORE and its dependence on the academic discipline and the time of publication, we show that participants expect replication rates to increase over time. Moreover, they expect replication rates to differ between fields, with the highest replication rate in economics (average survey response 58%), and the lowest in psychology and in education (average survey response of 42% for both fields). These results reveal insights into the academic community's views of the replication crisis, including for research fields for which no large-scale replication studies have been undertaken yet.

description: The Māori whakataukī, ‘ka mura, ka muri’ loosely translates as ‘walk backward into the future’ (This whakataukī is derived from a longer version: ‘Kia whakatōmuri te haere whakamua’ which translates to ‘I walk backwards into the future with my eyes fixed on my past’). It foregrounds a Māori perspective on time where the past is in front of us and can be observed and interpreted as we walk backwards into an unseen and uncertain future. This whakataukī was at the core of the 2023 AANZCA conference, ‘Ka mura, ka muri: Bridging communication pasts and futures’, held at Te Herenga Waka – Victoria University of Wellington. In the wake of catastrophes such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the failed Voice referendum, conflict in Ukraine and Palestine, and worsening ecological conditions, we look backward in order to look ahead, despite the uncertainty that lies there.

description: Doliocarpus dentatus (Dilleniaceae) has been used in folk medicine to treat inflammation and pain; however, studies evaluating its toxicity potential, as well as its effects on anxiety and depression, are scarce. This study investigated the toxicological profile of an ethanolic extract from leaves of D. dentatus (EEDd), and its effects on anxiety and depression models in mice. Male and female mice received either a single dose (500, 1000 or 2000 mg/kg) or repeated doses (75, 150 or 300 mg/kg) of EEDd by oral gavage. During the subacute toxicity assay, behavioral tests were performed on days 4, 14, 21 and 28. No evidence of toxicity was observed in the animals in both acute and subacute tests. However, males treated with the highest dose presented a reduction in the absolute weight of the kidney, an elevation in the AST levels, in addition to an alteration in the urea levels. The treatment did not affect other biochemical parameters, and did not induce any depressive-like behavior. EEDd exhibited low toxicity after single and repeated exposures. Since some analyzed parameters were compromised, further toxicity studies should be carried out.

This scenario has important consequences for the pseudoscalar-meson sector, which can be studied using an effective Lagrangian model. In particular, generalizing the results obtained in two previous papers, where the effects on the radiative decays eta,eta' --> gamma gamma were studied, in this paper we study the effects of the U(1) chiral condensate on the strong decays of the "light" pseudoscalar mesons, i.e., eta,eta' --> 3pi^0; eta,eta' --> pi^+ pi^- pi^0; eta' --> eta pi^0 pi^0; eta' --> eta pi^+ pi^-; and also on the strong decays of an exotic ("heavy") SU(3)-singlet pseudoscalar state eta_X, predicted by the model.

The Impact of Component Auditors’ Involvement in Multinational Group Audits on Timeliness of Client Earnings Announcements
Creators: name: Le, Anh
Publisher: name: RMIT University
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 350105
subject: Management accounting

description: This study investigates the relationship between the involvement of component auditors in multinational group audits and management’s decision when to announce annual earnings. By examining a research sample of U.S. multinational corporations during the period 2017 – 2023, I discover a positive association between the utilization of component auditors and both earnings announcement lag and firms' likelihood of releasing earnings after the audit report date, suggesting that using component auditors increases management's motivation to wait for auditor approval before announcing earnings, potentially due to enhanced audit quality.
The second research objective of this study is to assess the differences, if any, between the use of component auditors and the timeliness of earnings announcements when the component auditor is affiliated or unaffiliated with the principal auditor. Specifically, I find that the use of network component auditors in multinational group audits is positively related to earnings announcement lag and the likelihood of a company releasing earnings after the audit report date. My findings withstand robustness testing.
My cross-sectional tests indicate that a potential explanation for these findings is the role component auditors play in enhancing audit quality, thereby incentivising client managers to postpone the disclosure of earnings until the audit report date. Further cross-sectional tests indicate that geographic proximity between component auditors and principal auditors enhances the association between component auditor usage and earnings announcement timeliness, perhaps due to higher audit quality, while the engagement of component auditors in multinational group audits increases the likelihood of firms releasing earnings after the audit report date only before the COVID-19 pandemic. Quantile regression analysis indicates that the involvement of component auditors is positively related to earnings announcement lag if the total proportion of audit hours conducted by component auditors is less than approximately 28% of total audit hours, beyond which audit quality may be adversely affected.
This thesis augments the growing literature on multinational group audits by enhancing understanding of how the participation of component auditors in multinational group audits impacts the timeliness of client earnings announcements. The study also aims to inform regulators’ understanding of how multinational group audits relate to the stock market and the financial reporting choices of client firms.

description: We introduce the the Triangular Ring (TR) resonator. We show that the difference between the clockwise and anti-clockwise resonant frequencies of a vacuum TR resonator is sensitive to the birefringence parity-odd parameters of the photon's sector of the minimal Standard Model Extension (mSME): the Standard Model plus all the perturbative parameters encoding the break the Lorentz symmetry. We report that utilizing the current technology allows for direct measurement of these parameters with a sensitivity of the parity even ones and improves the best current resonator bounds by couple of orders of magnitudes. We note that designing an optical table that rotates perpendicular to the gravitational equipotential surface (geoid) allows for direct measurement of the constancy of the light speed at the vicinity of the earth in all directions in particular perpendicular to the geoid. If this table could achieve the precision of the ordinary tables, then it would improve the GPS bounds on the constancy of the light speed perpendicular to geoid by about eight orders of magnitude.

The Elizabethan period’s difference from our own, in terms of our heteronormativity versus an Elizabethan non-gender coded mode of desire, makes Shakespeare all the more suggestive in how his works force us to question the centring of and debates over our concepts of desire and sexuality. Despite these invitations to queer theoretical study, his works remain a highly unstable field, because Shakespeare’s Elizabethan rhetorical theory relies on concepts of antithesis, chiasma, and radically ironic dramatic strategies which constantly destabilize any theoretical hold scholars might gain on Shakespeare’s achievements. To shed light on this very instability, I deploy the theory of Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick and Lee Edelman, foundational scholars of queer theory, through the lenses of both Lacanian psychology (Edelman’s lens of choice) and Shakespeare’s own dramatic rhetoric, including a medieval motif signifying Romeo as a pilgrim knight, to reread Romeo and Juliet in search of Shakespeare’s own achievements in representing the terms with which I began. In this way, I uncover homosocial structures of desire and psychological-linguistic significations of desire. Furthermore, I argue that Shakespeare figures desire through metaphor, the implication of which is that for metaphor to work, for meaning in the world to work, signification of any linguistic meaning must remain untethered from any attempt at fixing concrete understanding of words and meanings. The implications of my analysis are as follows: Juliet becomes, to use Edelman’s terminology, a sinthomosexual, that is, a signifier of queer instability that threatens the anthro-normative society of Shakespeare’s Verona; moreover, metaphor becomes, arguably, a signifier of Lacanian desire, if not dramatic poetic desire, for that for which it stands. On a structural level, then, comedy stands for tragedy. On a narrative level, Romeo stands for desire as dramatized by Shakespeare and at the centre of a flow of desire represented by Mercutio and Tybalt, who both, in some way, want to change metonymically, into Romeo. The instability that generates these results, is, I argue, Shakespeare’s queer theory.

description: In this work a generic model of \emph{multi-photon optics} is studied. It is considered $m$ pump and $n$ subharmonic fields. It shows how the multi-photon system, with direct and homodyne detection, can be obtained rigorously in the context of \emph{Measurement theory in Open Quantum System} (see \cite{Bar-OQS}, \cite{Bar-1990-QO} and \cite{RCS-LAP}). This is done trough the \emph{Quantum Stochastic Differential Equations} with unbounded coefficients (see \cite{Fagnola-Wills}, and \cite{RCS-LAP}). In particular the existence of the dynamics is proved, and a continuous measurements scheme is provided.

description: Additional file 1: Figure S1. Normal Q-Q plot of punctuality distribution. Data are not normally distributed since there is a large difference between cumulative Normal distribution and the cumulative distribution of our variable. The result is also confirmed by the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test which rejects the hypothesis of normality (p-value < 2.2e-16). Figure S2. Unpunctuality percentage as a function of the patient's age for different types of medical location: ‘Group 1’ includes locations within 1 km from the closest underground station (23 locations, blue) and the others correspond to ‘Group 2’ (11 locations, orange). The two groups do not show a qualitative difference. Table S1. Cohort characteristics by relevant patients’ features. For each feature the total number of visits is shown; this number is then split into two other columns, the first one with the number of visits where the patient checked-in late and the second one with the number of visits where the patient checked-in early.
Quantum criticality in SU(3) and SU(4) anti-ferromagnets

description: We study the quantum phase transition out of the Neel state in SU(3) and SU(4) generalizations of the Heisenberg anti-ferromagnet with a sign problem free four spin coupling (so-called JQ model), by extensive quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We present evidence that the SU(3) and SU(4) order parameters and the SU(3) and SU(4) stiffness' go to zero continuously without any evidence for a first order transition. However, we find considerable deviations from simple scaling laws for the stiffness even in the largest system sizes studied. We interpret these as arising from multiplicative scaling terms in these quantities which affect the leading behavior, i.e., they will persist in the thermodynamic limit unlike the conventional additive corrections from irrelevant operators. We conjecture that these multiplicative terms arise from dangerously irrelevant operators whose contributions to the quantities of interest are non-analytic.

description: We prove that for a sufficiently ample line bundle $L$ on a surface $S$, the number of $δ$-nodal curves in a general $δ$-dimensional linear system is given by a universal polynomial of degree $δ$ in the four numbers $L^2,\,L.K_S,\,K_S^2$ and $c_2(S)$. The technique is a study of Hilbert schemes of points on curves on a surface, using the BPS calculus of [PT3] and the computation of tautological integrals on Hilbert schemes by Ellingsrud, Göttsche and Lehn. We are also able to weaken the ampleness required, from Göttsche's $(5δ-1)$-very ample to $δ$-very ample.

Interlace Polynomials for Multimatroids and Delta-Matroids

Year: 2010

description: We provide a unified framework in which the interlace polynomial and several related graph polynomials are defined more generally for multimatroids and delta-matroids. Using combinatorial properties of multimatroids rather than graph-theoretical arguments, we find that various known results about these polynomials, including their recursive relations, are both more efficiently and more generally obtained. In addition, we obtain several interrelationships and results for polynomials on multimatroids and delta-matroids that correspond to new interrelationships and results for the corresponding graphs polynomials. As a tool we prove the equivalence of tight 3-matroids and delta-matroids closed under the operations of twist and loop complementation, called vf-safe delta-matroids. This result is of independent interest and related to the equivalence between tight 2-matroids and even delta-matroids observed by Bouchet.

Perturbations of Keplerian Orbits in Stationary Spherically Symmetric Spacetimes

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study spherically symmetric perturbations determined by alternative theories of gravity to the gravitational field of a central mass in General Relativity. In particular, we focus on perturbations in the form of power laws and calculate their effect on the secular variations of the orbital elements of a Keplerian orbit. We show that, to lowest approximation order, only the argument of pericentre and mean anomaly undergo secular variations; furthermore, we calculate the variation of the orbital period. We give analytic expressions for these variations which can be used to constrain the impact of alternative theories of gravity.
