Immersive virtual reality platform for self-attachment therapy
Creators: name: Ghaznavi, Syed Ibrahim
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: We have designed, developed, and tested an immersive virtual reality (VR) platform to practise protocols of the Self-attachment psychotherapy for treatment of depression and anxiety. The VR platform consists of both a high-end version based on Facebook’s Oculus and a low-end mobile version based on Google’s cardboard. Under the Self-attachment therapeutic framework, the causes of mental disorders are traced back to the individual's insecure attachment with their primary caregiver during childhood. Self-attachment offers a self-administrable protocol in which the user imaginatively creates an internal affectional bond with their childhood self, based on mental imagery, and then simulates optimal parent-child interactions to re-parent the childhood self to emotional maturity, thus earning themselves secure attachment. The platform offers a complementary visual tool for administering Self-attachment protocols; it enables the user to interact with their customised photorealistic childhood avatar (childhood self). The platform is developed in Unity 3D, a cross-platform game engine, and takes advantage of the itSeez3D Avatar SDK for generating a customised photorealistic 3D avatar head from a 2D childhood image of the user. The platform also offers facial and body animations for some of the basic emotions such as happy, sad, scared and joyful and it allows modifications to the avatar body and clothing colour. A pilot study to compare the use of the avatar-based approach (VR) to Self-attachment with the conventional photo based approach showed promising results. More than 85% of the participants reported that their photorealistic childhood avatar in VR, in both the high-end version and the low-end version, was more relatable than their ordinary childhood photo. Participants also reported that the high-end version of the VR platform was more realistic and immersive than the low-end mobile version.

description: While social media offer great communication opportunities, they also increase the vulnerability of young people to threatening situations online. Recent studies report that cyberbullying constitutes a growing problem among youngsters. Successful prevention depends on the adequate detection of potentially harmful messages and the information overload on the Web requires intelligent systems to identify potential risks automatically. The focus of this paper is on automatic cyberbullying detection in social media text by modelling posts written by bullies, victims, and bystanders of online bullying. We describe the collection and fine-grained annotation of a training corpus for English and Dutch and perform a series of binary classification experiments to determine the feasibility of automatic cyberbullying detection. We make use of linear support vector machines exploiting a rich feature set and investigate which information sources contribute the most for this particular task. Experiments on a holdout test set reveal promising results for the detection of cyberbullying-related posts. After optimisation of the hyperparameters, the classifier yields an F1-score of 64% and 61% for English and Dutch respectively, and considerably outperforms baseline systems based on keywords and word unigrams.

description: Different areas of human visual cortex are thought to play different roles in the learning of visual information: whereas in low/intermediate cortical areas, plasticity may be manifested by enhanced selectivity to learned visual features, in higher-level areas, plasticity may result in generalization and development of tolerance to degraded versions of the learned stimuli. The most effective tolerance to degraded information is presumably achieved in the case of cooperation between the different forms of plasticity. Whether this tolerance to degraded information also applies when the visual input is degraded as a result of a lesion to lower levels of the visual system remains an open question. To address this, we studied visual classification learning in a patient with an extensive bilateral lesion affecting intermediate/low-level visual areas but sparing higher-level areas. Despite difficulty in perceiving the stimuli, the patient learned to classify them, albeit not as quickly as control participants. Moreover, the patient's learning was maintained over the long term and was accompanied by improved discrimination of individual stimuli. These findings demonstrate that degraded output from lesioned, lower areas can be exploited in the service of a new visual task and the results likely implicate a combination of bottom-up and top-down processing during visual learning.

Base sizes of modules for finite groups of Lie type
Creators: name: Lee, Melissa
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: A base for a permutation group G ≤ Sym(Ω) is a subset B ⊆ Ω such that the pointwise stabiliser GB of B in G is trivial. The minimal cardinality of a base for G is called the base size and denoted b(G). The study of base sizes for finite permutation groups has a long and rich history dating back at least to work of Bochert [5] in the nineteenth century. Classically, the main motivation for the study of bases was to bound the order of a permutation group in terms of its degree. Just as a linear map φ : V → V on a finite-dimensional vector space V is uniquely determined by its action on a basis for V , so too is an element of a permutation group uniquely determined by its action on a base. In particular, if Ω is finite, then |G| ≤ |Ω| b(G) , so b(G) ≥ log |G|/ log |Ω|. The definition of a base was first formalised by Sims in the 1970s [77], in the context of computational group theory, noting that a small base provides an efficient way of encoding the elements of a given permutation group. There is therefore a focus in the literature on groups with small bases. In general, permuta tion groups do not have small bases relative to their degree. Indeed, Pyber showed in [72] that there exists a universal constant C such that almost all subgroups H ≤ Sn have b(H) > Cn. There are, however, some important families of permutation groups with small bases. Indeed, Halasi, Liebeck and Mar´oti [42] showed that a primitive permutation group G of degree n has b(G) ≤ 2 log |G|/ log n + 24, improving the constants given in [24], which settled a long-standing conjecture of Pyber [72]. Although this upper bound is asymptotically best possible for the class of all primitive groups, there are many examples of primitive groups with smaller bases, and considerable progress towards classifying such groups. In particular, since primitive groups with base size 1 are cyclic, there is significant interest in classifying the primitive groups with base size 2. This thesis is a contribution to this classification for primitive groups of affine type. A primitive group of affine type has the form H = GV , where V is a finite dimensional vector space over a finite field Fr and G ≤ GL(V ) acts irreducibly on V . It has base size 2 if and only if G has base size 1 in its action on V . That is, G has a regular orbit on V . We consider bases of linear groups G ≤ GL(V ) in the case where G has a unique sub normal quasisimple subgroup E(G) of Lie type that acts absolutely irreducibly on V . For cross-characteristic actions, we show that G has a regular orbit on V , with specific excep tions, for which we find the base size. We show that in general, such actions in cross char 3acteristic have b(G) ≤ 4, except for a single exception where b(G) = 5. Moreover, for E(G)/Z(E(G)) ∼= PSLn(r0), with Fr0 a field of the same characteristic as Fr, we show that G has a regular orbit on V , except possibly when (G, V ) is one of a collection of exceptions where b(G) ≤ 5, or V is the natural module for E(G).

description: Mentoring, coaching, and teacher induction programs continue to gain traction in school jurisdictions across Canada and internationally in an effort to address teacher attrition, support professional growth, and improve teaching and learning. Conceptualized as a patchwork quilt, this thesis by article reports on a qualitative case study that examined the Teacher Induction Program (TIP) implemented in 2009 in the Western Québec School Board (WQSB). Each manuscript or fabric block highlights a different component of the TIP that when stitched together reveals an emerging pattern of how professional learning and development, mentoring and coaching, and teacher evaluation is understood in the school district. Anchored within a social learning theoretical framework, this study asked two guiding questions: 1) What is the influence of the mentor–coach role on experienced teachers’ professional learning, practice, and well-being? And 2) How do the WQSB stakeholders perceive the impact of the TIP? Using a single case study design, data were collected from a variety of sources and stakeholder perspectives, including documents, questionnaires, semi-structured interviews, and focus groups. Using the Framework Method, data were abductively analyzed with and against the study’s theoretical and conceptual frameworks. The study’s findings indicate that the mentor–coach role has powerful potential to not only support experienced teachers’ practice-based professional learning, but also to cultivate their sense of well-being and flourishing in schools. However, tensions emerged around how different stakeholders perceived the TIP’s impact in the school district. In particular, further attention is required to clarify the purpose and process of mentoring and coaching as well as the role of teacher evaluation within teacher induction. Ultimately, this study highlights the important role an effective mentoring and coaching fellowship can play in supporting veteran teacher professional learning, practice and well-being, which then has the potential to cultivate positive transformational change in a school district.
A critical analysis of the UV-continuum slopes of high-redshift galaxies; no evidence (yet) for extreme stellar populations at z > 6

description: It has recently been reported that the faintest galaxies at z~6-7 display extremely blue UV continuum slopes, with a UV power-law index beta ~ -3. Such slopes are bluer than previously reported for any other galaxy population, and imply extinction-free, young, very low-metallicity stellar populations with a high ionizing photon escape fraction. Here we undertake a critical study of the evidence for such extreme values of beta, combining three new WFC3/IR-selected samples of galaxies spanning ~2 decades in UV luminosity over the redshift range z~4.5-8. We explore the impact of inclusion/exclusion of less robust high-z candidates, and use the varying depths of the samples to explore the effects of noise and selection bias. Simple data-consistency arguments suggest that artificially blue average values of beta can result when the analysis is extended into the deepest ~ 0.5-mag bin of these WFC3/IR-selected samples, regardless of the actual luminosity or z range probed. By confining attention to robust, well-detected high-z galaxy candidates, we find that the average value of beta is consistent with -2.05 +/- 0.10 for z=5-7, and -22 < M_UV < -18. We create and analyse a set of simulations which demonstrate that a bias towards artifically low/blue average values of beta is indeed expected when the UV slope analysis is extended towards the source detection threshold, and conclude that there is as yet no clear evidence for UV slopes significantly bluer than beta ~ -2, the typical value displayed by the bluest star-forming galaxies at more modest z. A robust measurement of beta for the faintest galaxies at z~7-8 remains a key observational goal, as it provides a fundamental test for high escape fractions from a potentially abundant source of reionizing photons. This goal is achievable with HST, but requires still deeper WFC3/IR imaging in the HUDF.

description: We present the first results of a combined VLT VIMOS integral-field unit and Hubble Space Telescope (HST)/ACS study of the early-type lens galaxy SDSS J2321-097 at z=0.0819, extending kinematic studies to a look-back time of 1 Gyr. This system, discovered in the Sloan Lens ACS Survey (SLACS), has been observed as part of a VLT Large Programme with the goal of obtaining two-dimensional stellar kinematics of 17 early-type galaxies to z~0.35 and Keck spectroscopy of an additional dozen lens systems. Bayesian modelling of both the surface brightness distribution of the lensed source and the two-dimensional measurements of velocity and velocity dispersion has allowed us, under the only assumptions of axisymmetry and a two-integral stellar distribution function (DF) for the lens galaxy, to dissect this galaxy in three dimensions and break the classical mass--anisotropy, mass-sheet and inclination--oblateness degeneracies. Our main results are that the galaxy (i) has a total density profile well described by a single power-law rho propto r^{-gamma'} with gamma'=2.06^{+0.03}_{-0.06}; (ii) is a very slow rotator (specific stellar angular momentum parameter lambda_R = 0.075); (iii) shows only mild anisotropy (delta ~ 0.15); and (iv) has a dark matter contribution of ~30 per cent inside the effective radius. Our first results from this large combined imaging and spectroscopic effort with the VLT, Keck and HST show that the structure of massive early-type galaxies beyond the local Universe can now be studied in great detail using the combination of stellar kinematics and gravitational lensing. Extending these studies to look-back times where evolutionary effects become measurable holds great promise for the understanding of formation and evolution of early-type galaxies.

description: $β$- Eucryptite (LiAlSiO4) is a potential electrolyte for Li- ion battery due to its high Li- ion conductivity and very small volume thermal expansion coefficient. We have performed ab-initio molecular dynamics simulations of $β$- Eucryptite to study the origin of high temperature superionic phase transition in this material. The simulations are able to provide the microscopic understanding of the one -dimensional superionicity that occurs along the hexagonal c-axis and is associated with the order-disorder nature of the phase transition. The Li ionic conductivity is found to enhance due to the anisotropic negative thermal expansion along hexagonal c-axis. The introduction of defects in the crystal like, excess Li in interstitial sites, Li vacancy and O vacancy are found to significantly increase the ionic conductivity and hence might reduce the temperature of the superionic phase transition in this material.

description: Traditionally, computer applications to game domains have taken a brute-force approach, relying on sheer computational power to overcome the complexity of the domain. Although many of these programs have been quite successful, it is interesting to note that humans can still perform extremely well against them. Thus we are compelled to ask, if no human could match the computational power of most of these programs, are there methods for learning and performance in game domains that more closely reflect human cognition? In response to this question, this paper attempts to model how humans learn and play games by developing a Backgammon-playing algorithm based on cognition. Analysis of this algorithm shows that it is efficient and commensurate with human abilities suggesting that it provides a cognitively plausible theory of learning in Backgammon.

description: As new instances of nested organization --beyond ecological networks-- are discovered, scholars are debating around the co-existence of two apparently incompatible macroscale architectures: nestedness and modularity. The discussion is far from being solved, mainly for two reasons. First, nestedness and modularity appear to emerge from two contradictory dynamics, cooperation and competition. Second, existing methods to assess the presence of nestedness and modularity are flawed when it comes to the evaluation of concurrently nested and modular structures. In this work, we tackle the latter problem, presenting the concept of \textit{in-block nestedness}, a structural property determining to what extent a network is composed of blocks whose internal connectivity exhibits nestedness. We then put forward a set of optimization methods that allow us to identify such organization successfully, both in synthetic and in a large number of real networks. These findings challenge our understanding of the topology of ecological and social systems, calling for new models to explain how such patterns emerge.

description: Most models of categorization learn categories defined by characteristic features but some categories are described more naturally in terms of relations. We present a generative model that helps to explain how relational categories are learned and used. Our model learns abstract schemata that specify the relational similarities shared by instances of a category, and our emphasis on abstraction departs from previous theoretical proposals that focus instead on comparison of concrete in- stances. Our first experiment suggests that abstraction can help to explain some of the findings that have previously been used to support comparison-based approaches. Our second experiment focuses on one-shot schema learning, a problem that raises challenges for comparison-based approaches bu t is handled naturally by our abstraction-based account

description: Understanding the process by which the cerebral hemispheres reach their mature functional organization remains challenging. We propose a theoretical account in which, in the domain of vision, faces and words come to be represented adjacent to retinotopic cortex by virtue of the need to discriminate among homogeneous exemplars. Orthographic representations are further constrained to be proximal to typically left-lateralized language-related information to minimize connectivity length between visual and language areas. As reading is acquired, orthography comes to rely more heavily (albeit not exclusively) on the left fusiform region to bridge vision and language. Consequently, due to competition from emerging word representations, face representations that were initially bilateral become lateralized to the right fusiform region (albeit, again, not exclusively). We review recent research that describes constraints that give rise to this graded hemispheric arrangement. We then summarize empirical evidence from a variety of studies (behavioral, evoked response potential, functional imaging) across different populations (children, adolescents, and adults; left handers and individuals with developmental dyslexia) that supports the claims that hemispheric lateralization is graded rather than binary and that this graded organization emerges dynamically over the course of development. Perturbations of this system either during development or in adulthood provide further insights into the principles governing hemispheric organization.

description: A comprehensive monitoring system for the thermal environment inside the Borexino neutrino detector was developed and installed in order to reduce uncertainties in determining temperatures throughout the detector. A complementary thermal management system limits undesirable thermal couplings between the environment and Borexino's active sections. This strategy is bringing improved radioactive background conditions to the region of interest for the physics signal thanks to reduced fluid mixing induced in the liquid scintillator. Although fluid-dynamical equilibrium has not yet been fully reached, and thermal fine-tuning is possible, the system has proven extremely effective at stabilizing the detector's thermal conditions while offering precise insights into its mechanisms of internal thermal transport. Furthermore, a Computational Fluid-Dynamics analysis has been performed, based on the empirical measurements provided by the thermal monitoring system, and providing information into present and future thermal trends. A two-dimensional modeling approach was implemented in order to achieve a proper understanding of the thermal and fluid-dynamics in Borexino. It was optimized for different regions and periods of interest, focusing on the most critical effects that were identified as influencing background concentrations. Literature experimental case studies were reproduced to benchmark the method and settings, and a Borexino-specific benchmark was implemented in order to validate the modeling approach for thermal transport. Finally, fully-convective models were applied to understand general and specific fluid motions impacting the detector's Active Volume.

description: We investigate bosonic atoms or molecules interacting via dipolar interactions in a planar array of one-dimensional tubes. We consider the situation in which the dipoles are oriented perpendicular to the tubes by an external field. We find various quantum phases reaching from a `sliding Luttinger liquid' phase in which the tubes remain Luttinger liquids to a two-dimensional charge density wave ordered phase. Two different kinds of charge density wave order occur: a stripe phase in which the bosons in different tubes are aligned and a checkerboard phase. We further point out how to distinguish the occurring phases experimentally.

description: We explore a regime of unipolar electronic transport in a multiple quantum well structure with very large current discontinuities - up to five orders of magnitude. Magneto-transport experiments reveal different transport regimes. Quantum well impact ionization shifts the structure from a resistive down state, where the current flows through inter-well quantum tunneling, to a highly conductive up state. In the latter regime, the current leaks through a barrier suddenly broken down because of an efficient ionization of the first quantum well.

description: Simple analytical parametrizations for the ground-state energy of the one-dimensional repulsive Hubbard model are developed. The charge-dependence of the energy is parametrized using exact results extracted from the Bethe-Ansatz. The resulting parametrization is shown to be in better agreement with highly precise data obtained from fully numerical solution of the Bethe-Ansatz equations than previous expressions [Lima et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 146402 (2003)]. Unlike these earlier proposals, the present parametrization correctly predicts a positive Mott gap at half filling for any U>0. The construction is extended to spin-dependent phenomena by parametrizing the magnetization-dependence of the ground-state energy using further exact results and numerical benchmarking. Lastly, the parametrizations developed for the spatially uniform model are extended by means of a simple local-density-type approximation to spatially inhomogeneous models, e.g., in the presence of impurities, external fields or trapping potentials. Results are shown to be in excellent agreement with independent many-body calculations, at a fraction of the computational cost.

Integrating historical failure data, maintenance data, and track condition data, and operational data, the proposed framework applies machine learning models to identify high-risk locations and predict rail asset failures. Because rail infrastructure asset failures are relatively rare, imbalanced data mining techniques such as SMOTE, ADASYN, and random resampling are also employed to improve predictive accuracy. In the first case study, our model achieves an AUC of 75% and demonstrates the ability to identify approximately one-third of rail signal failures by focusing on 10% of signal locations on the network within the one-month prediction period. Our second case study focused on commuter rail segments, in which our model gives an AUC of 74% and 71% overall accuracy. The results show the potential of this framework to identify high-risk hot spots for prioritized inspection and maintenance, given limited resources.

description: A successful theory of causal reasoning should be able to account for inferences about counterfactual scenarios. Pearl (2000) has developed a formal account of causal reasoning that has been highly influential but that suffers from at least two limitations as an account of counterfactual reasoning: it does not distinguish between counterfactual observations and counterfactual interventions, and it does not accommodate back- tracking counterfactuals. We present an extension of Pearl’s account that overcomes both limitations. Our model provides a unified treatment of counterfactual interventions and back- tracking counterfactuals, and we show that it accounts for data collected by Sloman and Lagnado (2005) and Rips (2010).

Food Costs -- Retail, Farm, Marketing

description: Excerpt from the report: This booklet summarizes the major trends in farm and retail prices of farm foods, marketing costs, and the relation between food expenditures and consumer incomes. It shows, for example, that the rise in food prices in recent years has been caused both by higher marketing costs and farm prices. The increase in food costs since 1964 has been more rapid than it was during the early 1960's. Even so, retail food costs have increased less than the Consumer Price Index of all goods and services. Incomes also have risen more than food prices so that less work is required to buy food now than in 1957-59.

A Unified Model of Language Acquisition

description: This paper presents an extended formulation of the Competition Model. The extended model is designed to account for a larger range of phenomena in first and second language acquisition, including bilingualism. As in the classic version of the Competition Model, competition is at the core of a set of non-modular interacting forces. However, now the various inputs to competition are described in terms of six additional subcomponents: arenas, cues, chunking, storage, codes, and resonance. Learning is viewed as a resonant process that relies on storage, chunking, and support to acquire new mappings.

description: (Ga,Mn)As in wurtzite crystal structure, is coherently grown by molecular beam epitaxy on the {1100} side facets of wurtizte (Ga,In)As nanowires and further encapsulated by (Ga,Al)As and low temperature GaAs. For the first time a true long-range ferromagnetic magnetic order is observed in non-planar (Ga,Mn)As, which is attributed to a more effective hole confinement in the shell containing Mn by a proper selection/choice of both the core and outer shell materials.

description: The study of political science depicts that the family comes into existence with the participation and collection of individuals. Families create societies which later convert into nations. Nations at the peak of political maturity establish states. Usually nationalism takes birth from its natural constituents like mutual language, race, civilization, culture, geo circumstances, country and religion. At a specific limit Islam doesn't object these elements of nationalism. Even prophets (A.S) of Allah Almighty have used these natural requisites in their preaching. Islam neither does wholly acknowledge all the factors, nor does it accept them asthey are. Which of these factors corresponds to the wisdom and nature Islam accepts them and where deviation from wisdom and nature is found, Islam prevents them. The divine religions have always emphasized the moral and spiritual relations among the people to establish a platform for mutual cooperation at a large scale but nationalism cuts these relations with the scissor of racial and countrywide prejudices which leads hatred and hostility among people. This is the reason Islam totally rejects the modern concept of nationalism rather invites mass to peace and tranquilityin the whole world.
On the gauge boson's properties in a candidate technicolor theory

description: The technicolor scenario replaces the Higgs sector of the standard model with a strongly interacting sector. One candidate for a realization of such a sector is two-technicolor Yang-Mills theory coupled to two degenerate flavors of adjoint, massless techniquarks. Using lattice gauge theory the properties of the technigluons in this scenario are investigated as a function of the techniquark mass towards the massless limit. For that purpose the minimal Landau gauge two-point and three-point correlation functions are determined, including a detailed systematic error analysis. The results are, within the relatively large systematic uncertainties, compatible with a behavior very similar to QCD at finite techniquark mass. However, the limit of massless techniquarks exhibits features which could be compatible with a (quasi-)conformal behavior.

description: There are three obvious differences between first and second language learners. First, infants who are learning language are also engaged in learning about how the world works. In contrast, second language learners already have a full understanding of the world and human society. Second, infants are able to rely on a highly malleable brain that has not yet been committed to other tasks (MacWhinney, Feldman, Sacco, & Valdes-Perez, 2000). In contrast, second language learners have to deal with a brain that has already been committed in various ways to the task of processing the first language. Third, infants can rely on an intense system of social support from their caregivers (Snow, 1999). In contrast, second language learners are often heavily involved in social and business commitments in their first language that distract them from interactions in the new language.

description: To more accurately measure price spreads for beef and pork, the methods of estimating U.S. composite prices of beef and pork at the retail, wholesale, and farm levels have been updated. The revised price spreads calculated from these new composite prices are presented for the 1949-69 period, thereby providing a historical time series for these data. In addition to presenting the farm-retail, farm-wholesale, and wholesale-retail price spreads, several examples tracing both beef and pork through the marketing channel illustrate costs and gross returns associated with the marketing of livestock and meat.
