Two-Qubit Separability Probabilities and Beta Functions
Creators: name: Slater, Paul B.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Due to recent important work of Zyczkowski and Sommers (quant-ph/0302197 and quant-ph/0304041), exact formulas are available (both in terms of the Hilbert-Schmidt and Bures metrics) for the (n^2-1)-dimensional and (n(n-1)/2-1)-dimensional volumes of the complex and real n x n density matrices. However, no comparable formulas are available for the volumes (and, hence, probabilities) of various separable subsets of them. We seek to clarify this situation for the Hilbert-Schmidt metric for the simplest possible case of n=4, that is, the two-qubit systems. Making use of the density matrix (rho) parameterization of Bloore (J. Phys. A 9, 2059 [1976]), we are able to reduce each of the real and complex volume problems to the calculation of a one-dimensional integral, the single relevant variable being a certain ratio of diagonal entries, nu = (rho_{11} rho_{44})/{rho_{22} rho_{33})$. The associated integrand in each case is the product of a known (highly oscillatory near nu=1) jacobian and a certain unknown univariate function, which our extensive numerical (quasi-Monte Carlo) computations indicate is very closely proportional to an (incomplete) beta function B_{nu}(a,b), with a=1/2, b=sqrt{3}in the real case, and a=2 sqrt{6}/5, b =3/sqrt{2} in the complex case. Assuming the full applicability of these specific incomplete beta functions, we undertake separable volume calculations.

Do Mergers Spin up Dark Matter Halos?
Creators: name: D'Onghia, Elena
name: Navarro, Julio F.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We use a large cosmological N-body simulation to study the origin of possible correlations between the merging history and spin of cold dark matter halos. In particular, we examine claims that remnants of major mergers tend to have higher-than-average spins, and find that the effect is driven largely by unrelaxed systems: equilibrium dark matter halos show no significant correlation between spin and merger history. Out-of-equilibrium halos have, on average, higher spins than relaxed systems, suggesting that the virialization process leads to a net decrease in the value of the spin parameter. We find that this decrease is driven by the internal redistribution of mass and angular momentum that occurs during virialization, a process that is especially efficient during major mergers, when high angular momentum material is pushed beyond the virial radius of the remnant. Since such redistribution likely affects the angular momentum of baryons and dark matter unevenly, our findings question the common practice of identifying the specific angular momentum content of a halo with that of its embedded luminous component. Further work is needed to elucidate the true relation between the angular momentum content of baryons and dark matter in galaxy systems assembled hierarchically.

Understanding married women's suicidal behaviour : counsellors' perceptions of self-concept and marital dynamics
Creators: name: White, Jennifer H.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Counsellors' perceptions of married suicidal women were investigated through a qualitative analysis of counsellors' clinical records and follow-up interviews. Four suicide intervention counsellors, ranging in age from 29 to 52, who collectively had 24 years of experience at a suicide intervention counselling agency were the subjects in this study. The experiences of their clients - three suicidal women and one husband of a suicidal woman - provided the material for the analysis of counsellors' clinical reports and follow-up interviews with the investigator. The suicidal women ranged in age from 20 to 41 and the husband was 34 years old. Analysis consisted of three concurent activities: data reduction, data display, and drawing/verifying conclusions. The clients, including one husband were found to suffer from negative self-concepts, previous suicide attempts, depression, and yet they indicated a willingness to get help. According to counsellors, the three wives could be characterized as "overfunctioning", fearful of spouses, prone to minimizing abuse, and committed to the relationships "at any cost." Counsellors found that husbands of the suicidal women tended to abuse alcohol and had explosive tempers. The marital relationships were characterized by intimacy problems, communication problems, and dependency. The families of the clients were found to be plagued by alcoholism, abuse, and mental illness. Counselling approaches included personal empowerment of client, educating about abuse, use of outside resources, making links with the past, and coaching on certain skills. The findings were meaningful as they offered a preliminary framework for understanding married women's suicidal behaviour by acknowledging the social, historical, familial, marital and intrapersonal levels of influence.

description: We report on the 2020 reactivation of the energetic high-magnetic field pulsar PSR J1846-0258 and its pulsar wind nebula (PWN) after 14 years of quiescence with new Chandra and Green Bank Telescope observations. The emission of short-duration bursts from J1846-0258 was accompanied by an enhancement of X-ray persistent flux and significant spectral softening, similar to those observed during its first bursting episode in 2006. The 2020 pulsar spectrum is described by a powerlaw model with a photon index Gamma=1.7\pm0.3 in comparison to a Gamma=1.2\pm0.1 before outburst and shows evidence of an emerging thermal component with blackbody temperature kT=0.7\pm0.1 keV. The 0.5--10 keV unabsorbed flux increased from 5.4e-12 erg/cm^2/s in quiescence to 1.3e-11 erg/cm^2/s following the outburst. We did not detect any radio emission from the pulsar at 2 GHz and place an upper limit of 7.1 uJy and 55 mJy for the coherent pulsed emission and single-pulses, respectively. The 2020 PWN spectrum, characterized by a photon index of 1.92\pm0.04 and X-ray luminosity of 1.2e-35 erg/s at a distance of 5.8~kpc, is consistent with those observed before the outburst. An analysis of regions closer to the pulsar shows small-scale time variabilities and brightness changes over the 20-yr period from 2000 to 2020, while the photon indices did not change. We conclude that the outburst in PSR J1846-0258 is a combination of crustal and magnetospheric effects, with no significant burst-induced variability in its PWN based on the current observations.

Year: 2021

description: The ϝράτρα for the Anaitians and the Metapians falls under a definite group of archaic and classical Olympian documents, which hand us some of the oracles issued by Zeus; this time, the god orders those communities (otherwise unknown and not belonging to the political community of ‘the Eleans’) to bind themselves in a reciprocal φιλία under penalty of exclusion from his altar. The decidedly imposing dictate of Olympian Zeus, absolute ruler of this φιλία, undoubtedly contradicts the image of his sanctuary as a (politically) neutral place of arbitration of conflicts between the (autonomous) communities living around it.

Year: 2021

description:

This paper digitally reconstructs street life in Edo (present-day Tokyo), the largest lost city of the pre-modern world. The ephemeral character of the Edo makes the historic urban experience extremely difficult to capture. We argue that the hypothetical digital reconstructions should incorporate evidence on human agency and spatial properties for a holistic simulation of historic street life. We develop a 3D hypothetical reconstruction based on multi-layered historical evidence to unlock the lost character of the Edo streets. It reveals the streets of Edo, including the rhythms of everyday life and the impact of the material culture.

description: Study of hydrogen production from renewable raw materials using biological methods is relevant because it does not have adverse effects on the environment. The aim of this work is to study hydrogen yield by natural microbial associations enriched by microorganisms of Clostridium and Bacillus genera. Natural microbial associations from soil and from a lake have been isolated; their ability to ferment cellulose with molecular hydrogen evolution has been investigated. Natural microbial association obtained from soil proved to be the most effective as it is dominated by 2 microorganism genera – Clostridium and Bacillus. It has been shown that additional enrichment of natural microbial associations by the microorganisms of Clostridium and Bacillus genera with a ratio 1:2.5 increases hydrogen yield by 48% and hydrogen content reaches 87.5% in the resulting biogas. This approach enables a reduction in substrate processing time.

description: Three fragments of a marble stele recomposed and integrated by K. Purgold in 1881 thanks to the Periegesis of Pausanias (5.10.4). It is an inscription of six lines. The first four lines, reported by Pausanias, form an epigram related to a gilded bronze shield placed on the eastern pediment of the temple of Olympian Zeus and dedicated by the Spartans for the victory in the battle of Tanagra (457 BC) over the Athenians and their allies. The last two lines, not recorded in the Periegesis, were to be in prose, and probably contained a list of Spartan allies. The inscription uses the archaic alphabet of Corinth that is evolving in the fifth century BC.

A Conceptual Reference Model for Human as a Service Provider in Cyber Physical Systems

Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Software Engineering (cs.SE)

description: In Cyber Physical Systems humans are often kept in the loop as operators and/or service users. Yet in many cases, humans and machines collaborate and provide services to each other. Research on service models and service composition for CPS exist; however, humans as service providers have not been adequately considered as part of the CPS service composition model. We provide a classification of human-as-a-service in CPS, and we propose a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) ontology model for the CPS environment as part of the Everything-as-a-Service paradigm. The model considers human characteristics and their dynamics, as a service provider or collaborator with the machine. As the ontology model is an enabler for engineering a self-adaptive CPS with human-machine collaboration as service providers, we describe how a commonly used self-adaptive reference model can be refined to benefit from the vision. We evaluate the ontological contribution against criteria that relates to accuracy, completeness, adaptability, clarity, and consistency. We demonstrate the feasibility of our conceptual reference model using a use case from the medical domain and we show how human-machine service provision is possible.

description: The stele contains five documents for Herakleides of Salamis of Cyprus, who in 330-329 provided the city with 3,000 medimnoi of wheat at the advantageous price of 5 drachmas and in 328-327 gave the city 3,000 drachmas for the purchase of grain. The decrees are useful for dating two of the main food crises that Attica had to face in the second half of the 4th century; moreover, they enrich our knowledge about the existing relationship between Athens and Salamis in Cyprus, and allow us to delve into the deliberative process of 4th-century Athenian democracy; finally, they contribute to the argument for the existence at Athens of a public archive for the preservation of records.

From Distant to Public Reading

Year: 2021

description:

From its very beginning, the term “distant reading” (Moretti 2000) was controversial, displacing ‘close reading’ by relying on literary histories and thereby reflecting on the entire global literary system. One of the weaknesses of this approach lies in its exclusive reliance on canonical and authoritative historiographies, one or two for each national literature, something which is bound to over-simplify the complexities of national literatures. As is known, Moretti’s proposal became a ‘slogan’ for Digital Humanities while algorithmic manipulation of texts has taken the place of reading literary (human) histories. Yet the problem of over-simplification remains, albeit differently. As an alternative, we offer a fusion approach, radicalising Moretti’s idea. In this article, we demonstrate how computer-based analysis of different readings carried out by many readers – not necessarily professionals – produces a relatively minute picture. Our case study will be the Hebrew novel, from its emergence in 1853 to the present day; a manageable corpus on which we gather information using questionnaires we have carefully created in our lab. Alongside the presentation of our approach, the actual research, and its initial findings, we will reflect theoretically on the conceptual benefits, as well as the limits, of public distance reading.

Decree of Delphi for the inhabitants of Chios
Creators: name: De Luca, Gaia
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2021

description: The document bears testimony of the concession of προμαντεία privilege by Delphi to the Chiotes, inscribed on an altar built by the Chiotes themselves inside the temple of Apollo in Delphi. This concession was probably made in the early IV century BC but it was graved on the stone at the end of the same century. Indeed, the altar is to be dated around the end of the IV century BC, after the earthquake that damaged the first altar, probably also built by the Chiotes and cited by Herodotus in 2.135. Though the concession of this privilege by the inhabitants of Delphi is very common, the monumental dimensions and the function of the altar offered by the Chiotes makes it quite extraordinary. Nevertheless, we must spoke of a relative priority, since the inhabitants of Delphi remained the first ones to consult the oracle of Apollo.

Misrepresentation Act 1967

description: Contractual estoppel has been developed in the context of the exclusion of liability for misrepresentation. It provides a legal explanation for the validity of ‘no representation’ and ‘no reliance’ clauses, which may contradict the true state of affairs and prevent a claim for misrepresentation arising. The importance of contractual estoppel does not end there for it may be applied more generally to prevent parties denying the existence of a state of affairs which was the basis of their contract. This paper seeks to answer two central questions that continue to trouble the courts, most commonly when a claim is based upon the alleged mis-selling of a financial product. The questions are: (1) What is the true nature of contractual estoppel? (2) Are ‘no representation’ and ‘no reliance’ clauses subject to the test of reasonableness set out in the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977, as extended to contractual terms which ‘exclude or restrict’ liability for misrepresentation by s 3 of the Misrepresentation Act 1967?

description: The paper investigates influence of large deformations (up to about 15%) arising from the plastic deformation of martensite on mechanical behavior of textured and non-textured alloy. The problem is considered in a geometrically nonlinear formulation. Experimental results show that with increasing plastic deformation, the residual deformation increases and the phase deformation curves of the conversion stress from martensite to austenite become steeper and less obvious. The paper proposes an analytical-numerical approach to describe diagram of material during unloading starting from an arbitrary point of the active site. The approximation of the curve on the corresponding sections of the diagrams is realized by means of a stressed spline.
Digital Archaeology: From Interdisciplinarity to the ‘Fusion’ of Core Competences
Creators: name: Moscati, Paola
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2021

description:

The aim of this article is to explore the interdisciplinary turn observed in the development of humanities computing, in terms of integration and fusion of expertise. The debate started with the Seminar on Discipline umanistiche e informatica. Il problema dell’integrazione, held in 1991 at the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Moving backwards in time, already from the 1960s the role of ‘integration’ was at the heart of many interdisciplinary initiatives supported by the National Research Council of Italy and the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei as part of their coordinated efforts to promote scientific progress. Through a number of archaeological case studies pivoting around the Etruscan civilisation, it will be shown how over time archaeological computing, and its evolution towards digital archaeology, has found in GIS and multimedia systems a unitary platform on which methods and practice of data acquisition, analysis, interpretation, and communication can converge. The concept of ‘fusion’, however, is much more recent and responds to a global resource management model, which combines the methods of archaeology with the objectives of Heritage Science, along the research path that goes from field and laboratory investigation to the protection, enhancement and communication of cultural heritage.

‘I’m your automatic colour’

description:

Colour photographs now represent almost all the images produced with the new reality capture tools, mobile phones, which in 2020 ‘took’ 90% of all photos of that year. Black and white is relegated to artistic expression, even newspapers have converted to colour for some years. In the history of photography, although research on colour is attempted from the early stages, it is necessary to wait until 1861 with the experiences of James Clerk Maxwell who created a stable colour image. However, it is from the fifties of the twentieth century that the use of colour becomes ‘popular’ even in a more aesthetic dimension than an objective reproduction of reality. Part of the ethnographic, anthropological, archaeological and field research, on the other hand still makes use of consolidated and inexpensive black and white for a long time. On these images largely available online and open source you can conduct automatic colouring experiences. The procedure, managed with artificial intelligence algorithms with deep learning processes, is always more widely used with free applications and allows to obtain qualitatively more and more relevant results, even if some critical analysis is still necessary. This article presents the state of the art to 2021 of automatic colouring, with the comparison between algorithms developed since 2016 and showing with experimental examples both the possibilities of rendering and even the critical issues that emerged with the application in anthropological photographs, with the aim of extracting information that is not very evident in the originals in black and white.

Triumphal Inscription of Ptolemy III at Adulis

description: The complex triumphal inscription of King Ptolemy III of Egypt (246-222/221 BC) ‘Great King descended from Heracles and Dionysus’ stands out among the great epigraphic documents of the Ptolemaic dynasty. It includes the official genealogy of the sovereign, a panorama of the territories inherited from Ptolemy II and, above all, the list of the conquests of the first phase of the Laodicean war (246-245 BC), which culminated in an anabasis up to Central Asia. We know this historical and meta-historical document only through the autopsy of the Alexandrian merchant Cosmas Indicopleustes, who saw it in Adulis (Kingdom of Axum), in the heart of ancient Aithiopia, in 547-549 AD. The inscription raises numerous questions, and must be examined keeping in view the concepts of memory and tradition. Added to this is the fascinating intellectual history of his reception, which played a role in the birth of the concept of ‘Hellenism’ itself.

description: A model of a finite cylindrical ion channel through a phospholipid membrane of width $L$ separating two electrolyte reservoirs is studied. Analytical solution of the Poisson equation is obtained for an arbitrary distribution of ions inside the trans-membrane pore. The solution is asymptotically exact in the limit of large ionic strength of electrolyte on the two sides of membrane. However, even for physiological concentrations of electrolyte, the electrostatic barrier sizes found using the theory are in excellent agreement with the numerical solution of the Poisson equation. The analytical solution is used to calculate the electrostatic potential energy profiles for pores containing charged protein residues. Availability of a semi-exact interionic potential should greatly facilitate the study of ionic transport through nanopores and ion channels.

description: In this study, we investigated the motion of active SiO2-Pt Janus particles in the 2D bath of smaller silica tracers dispersed in varying areal densities. The effect on the organization of the tracer particles around the active JPs was also explored. Our experiments indicate that the interaction between the tracers and the active JPs mainly depend on the nature of collision marked by the duration of contact. For all the concentration regimes, we have shown that the short time collisions do not have significant impact on the motion of active JPs, however, during moderate/long-time collisions tracer(s) can lead to a significant change in active JPs motion and even cause them to rotate. In the concentrated regime, our experiments reveal the emergence of a novel organizational behavior of the passive tracers on the trailing Pt and the leading SiO2 with a strong dependence on the nature of collision.

Collisions of two white dwarfs and the associated nucleosynthesis
Creators: name: Isern, Jordi
name: Bravo, Eduardo
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Traditionally it has been assumed that the collision of two white dwarfs was a low probability event confined to the surroundings of the Galactic centre or to the core of globular clusters. Depending on the nature of the two stars (mass and chemical composition) and on the parameters of the collision (relative velocity and impact parameter) the outcome of the encounter can go from a simple tidal stripping of the white dwarf matter, to a true thermonuclear explosion that can be assimilated to some Type Ia supernova subtype. In general, the ejected mass will consist on completely and partially burned material and pristine mass of the white dwarf. The frequency at which they can occur is still a matter of debate and, consequently, their contribution to the galactic chemical evolution uncertain. However, the recent realization that hierarchical triple and quadruple systems can provide an adequate additional scenario for such encounters, shows that these events can occur anywhere in the Galaxy and, in particular, in the solar neighbourhood. The pristine material, that globally has the chemical composition that results from the hydrostatic H and He-burning, can have local peculiar isotopic compositions caused by the sedimentation processes occurring inside the white dwarfs during their cooling. If these peculiarities are retained via the formation of dust grains and their inclusion in protostellar nebulae, they could account for the existence of some meteoritic anomalies similar to those found in the Solar System.
Booster sessions : a strategy for maintaining change in an emotionally-focused marital therapy
Creators: name: Elbe, Norma-Jean
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The primary purpose of this follow-up study was to was investigate whether couples who had regressed after receiving an Emotionally Focused couples therapy combined with a communication skills training component (EFT+CT) would increase in scores on measures of marital adjustment, communication, and target complaint improvement after receiving four booster sessions in communication skills training. The secondary purpose was to investigate whether receiving the booster sessions would enhance the maintenance of the EFT+CT couples' gains. A comparative crossover control design was used to test the hypotheses in this study. Ten volunteer couples from the EFT+CT condition in James' (1988) study were randomly assigned either to a first-booster group (FB), or a delayed booster group (DB). Both groups were measured at pre-test and then the booster sessions were administered to the FB group while the DB group served as an untreated wait-list control. Both groups were measured again at post-test. Next, a treatment crossover occurred at which time the booster sessions were administered to the DB group and the FB group entered a four month follow-up period. Final measures were taken for both groups at the end of the follow-up period. The booster sessions were administered by four therapists who were randomly assigned to couples in each group. Ratings of therapists' interventions confirmed the treatment integrity of the CT booster sessions in both groups. Tests of equivalence showed no significant differences between the FB and DB groups at pre-test on the measure of marital adjustment. The results indicated that the primary hypothesis was partially supported. A statistically significant Time main effect was found on measures of marital adjustment and target complaint improvement when the collapsed pre-test and post-test scores for the FB and DB groups were compared. The results supported the secondary hypothesis. No significant differences were found on the dependent measures, for the FB group, between the booster post-test and follow-up occasions or between booster post-test and EFT+CT post-test occasions. As an exploratory study, this investigation provides provisional support for the efficacy of booster sessions in increasing and maintaining moderately distressed couples' treatment gains following an Emotionally Focused marital therapy.

description: From the Literature Review (D2.2 citation) (Sotamaa et al., 2020) explore existing policies to support game development in Finland, Norway and Sweden’s game industries, in the context of the welfare state model. A strong welfare model in the Nordic countries, along with the concerning of promoting national heritage, reflects how this “countries are leading in research and development expenditures and game-related public research investments” (Sotamaa et al., 2020:3). In Norway, the funding can cover up to a maximum of 75% of the development costs, or 50% of the marketing costs of a single project (ibidem).   

This report includes and explains the policy briefs based on the “Task 6.2 – Round Tables for stakeholders and policy development” within the scope of the EPIC-WE Project. In a wider context, this task is covered under WP6 – EPIC-WE Capacity Building, Impact and Policy, which aims to ensure correct and useful measurement of impact while delivering sufficient tools for future involvement with the project’s outcomes, ecosystems, design kits, and capacity building activities. Likewise, the aim is to deliver capacity building and policy recommendations for CIs, CHIs, and HEIs – the actors of the quadruple helix ecosystem.

Image distortions in NEDs can destroy the reality of the virtual object and cause sickness. To achieve distortion-free images in NEDs, it is necessary to establish a pixel-by-pixel correspondence between the viewpoint and the displayed image. Designing compact and wide-FoV NEDs requires complex optical designs. In such designs, the displayed images are subject to gaze-contingent, non-linear geometric distortions, which explicit geometric models can be difficult to represent or computationally intensive to optimize. To solve these problems, we propose Neural Distortion Field (NDF), a fully-connected deep neural network that implicitly represents display surfaces complexly distorted in spaces. NDF takes spatial position and gaze direction as input and outputs the display pixel coordinate and its intensity as perceived in the input gaze direction. We synthesize the distortion map from a novel viewpoint by querying points on the ray from the viewpoint and computing a weighted sum to project output display coordinates into an image. Experiments showed that NDF calibrates an augmented reality NED with 90$^{\circ}$ FoV with about 3.23 pixel (5.8 arcmin) median error using only 8 training viewpoints. Additionally, we confirmed that NDF calibrates more accurately than the non-linear polynomial fitting, especially around the center of the FoV.

What is the Public of Public History? Between the Public Sphere and Public Agency
Creators: name: Apostolopoulos, Petros
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2021

description:

Public history constitutes a historical field, it includes several related journals, membership organisations, research centres, undergraduate and graduate programs all over the world. Most importantly, Public History has been marked by growing historiography and an increasing public interest in history. However, there is a lack of research on the most important constituent element of Public History, the ‘public’. The aim of this paper is to shed light on how Public History has approached the public in the last four decades. By focusing on the two different forms the public has taken, the public sphere and the public agency, the paper examines the notion of the public as it appeared in the historiography and how it determined the epistemology and methodology of Public History.

description: In this paper, we propose a novel end-to-end sequence-to-sequence spoken language understanding model using an attention mechanism. It reliably selects contextual acoustic features in order to hypothesize semantic contents. An initial architecture capable of extracting all pronounced words and concepts from acoustic spans is designed and tested. With a shallow fusion language model, this system reaches a 13.6 concept error rate (CER) and an 18.5 concept value error rate (CVER) on the French MEDIA corpus, achieving an absolute 2.8 points reduction compared to the state-of-the-art. Then, an original model is proposed for hypothesizing concepts and their values. This transduction reaches a 15.4 CER and a 21.6 CVER without any new type of context.

Airy beams on incoherent background

description: We present a class of diffraction-free partially coherent beams each member of which is comprised of a finite power, non-accelerating Airy bump residing on a statistically homogeneous, Gaussian-correlated background. We examine free-space propagation of soft apertured realizations of the proposed beams and show that their evolution is governed by two spatial scales: the coherence width of the background and aperture size. A relative magnitude of these factors determines the practical range of propagation distances over which the novel beams can withstand diffraction. The proposed beams can find applications to imaging and optical communications through random media.

description: Multimodal sentiment analysis aims to recognize people's attitudes from multiple communication channels such as verbal content (i.e., text), voice, and facial expressions. It has become a vibrant and important research topic in natural language processing. Much research focuses on modeling the complex intra- and inter-modal interactions between different communication channels. However, current multimodal models with strong performance are often deep-learning-based techniques and work like black boxes. It is not clear how models utilize multimodal information for sentiment predictions. Despite recent advances in techniques for enhancing the explainability of machine learning models, they often target unimodal scenarios (e.g., images, sentences), and little research has been done on explaining multimodal models. In this paper, we present an interactive visual analytics system, M2Lens, to visualize and explain multimodal models for sentiment analysis. M2Lens provides explanations on intra- and inter-modal interactions at the global, subset, and local levels. Specifically, it summarizes the influence of three typical interaction types (i.e., dominance, complement, and conflict) on the model predictions. Moreover, M2Lens identifies frequent and influential multimodal features and supports the multi-faceted exploration of model behaviors from language, acoustic, and visual modalities. Through two case studies and expert interviews, we demonstrate our system can help users gain deep insights into the multimodal models for sentiment analysis.

Thermal and Bulk Comptonization in Accretion-Powered X-Ray Pulsars
Creators: name: Becker, Peter A.
name: Wolff, Michael T.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We develop a new theoretical model for the spectral formation process in accretion-powered X-ray pulsars based on a detailed treatment of the bulk and thermal Comptonization occurring in the accreting, shocked gas. A rigorous eigenfunction expansion method is employed to obtain the analytical solution for the Green's function describing the scattering of radiation injected into the column from a monochromatic source located at an arbitrary height above the stellar surface. The emergent spectrum is calculated by convolving the Green's function with source terms corresponding to bremsstrahlung, cyclotron, and blackbody emission. The energization of the photons in the shock, combined with cyclotron absorption, naturally produces an X-ray spectrum with a relatively flat continuum shape and a high-energy quasi-exponential cutoff. We demonstrate that the new theory successfully reproduces the phase-averaged spectra of the bright pulsars Her X-1, LMC X-4, and Cen X-3. In these luminous sources, it is shown that the emergent spectra are dominated by Comptonized bremsstrahlung emission.

A Greek defixio from Morgantina
Creators: name: Rivoli, Matteo
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2021

description: The inscription, dated to the I century BC, comes from a votive pit in the sanctuary of the chthonic deities of Morgantina (Sicily), where it was discovered with other nine similar documents in 1962, during the excavations conducted by Princeton University. Scratched on a thin sheet of lead once rolled up, the inscriptions is likely a curse against the slave Venusta, who is also addressed to in other similar documents. Since the text avoids the use of strong and violent expressions common to many defixiones, some scholars have suggested that it could rather be a positive invocation aimed at facilitating the entry of the deceased in the afterlife. However, the archaeological context, as well as the comparison with a recently found inscription, prompts to confirm the malevolent nature of the spell.

description: Do negative absolute temperatures matter physics and specifically Statistical Physics? We provide evidence that we can certainly answer positively to this vexata quaestio. The great majority of models investigated by statistical mechanics over almost one century and a half exhibit positive absolute temperature, because their entropy is a nondecreasing function of energy. Since more than half a century ago it has been realized that this may not be the case for some physical systems as incompressible fluids, nuclear magnetic chains, lasers, cold atoms and optical waveguides. We review these examples and discuss their peculiar thermodynamic properties, which have been associated to the presence of thermodynamic regimes, characterized by negative absolute temperatures. As reported in this review, the ambiguity inherent the definition of entropy has recurrently raised a harsh debate about the possibility of considering negative temperature states as genuine thermodynamic equilibrium ones. Here we show that negative absolute temperatures are consistent with equilibrium as well as with non-equilibrium thermodynamics. In particular, thermometry, thermodynamics of cyclic transformations, ensemble equivalence, fluctuation-dissipation relations, response theory and even transport processes can be reformulated to include them, thus dissipating any prejudice about their exceptionality, typically presumed as a manifestation of transient metastable effects.
