description: When assessing causal effects, determining the target population to which the results are intended to generalize is a critical decision. Randomized and observational studies each have strengths and limitations for estimating causal effects in a target population. Estimates from randomized data may have internal validity but are often not representative of the target population. Observational data may better reflect the target population, and hence be more likely to have external validity, but are subject to potential bias due to unmeasured confounding. While much of the causal inference literature has focused on addressing internal validity bias, both internal and external validity are necessary for unbiased estimates in a target population. This paper presents a framework for addressing external validity bias, including a synthesis of approaches for generalizability and transportability, the assumptions they require, as well as tests for the heterogeneity of treatment effects and differences between study and target populations.

description: By using only a fraction of the model space extended beyond current no-core shell-model limits and a schematic effective many-nucleon interaction, we gain additional insight within a symmetry-guided shell-model framework, into the many-body dynamics that gives rise to the ground state rotational band together with phenomena tied to alpha-clustering substructures in the low-lying states in C-12, and in particular, the challenging Hoyle state and its first 2+ excitation. For these states, we offer a novel perspective emerging out of no-core shell-model considerations, including a discussion of associated nuclear shapes and matter radii. This, in turn, provides guidance for ab initio shell models by informing key features of nuclear structure and the interaction.

The density theorem for projective representations via twisted group von Neumann algebras

description: We consider converses to the density theorem for irreducible, projective, unitary group representations restricted to lattices using the dimension theory of Hilbert modules over twisted group von Neumann algebras. We show that under the right assumptions, the restriction of a $σ$-projective unitary representation $π$ of a group $G$ to a lattice $Γ$ extends to a Hilbert module over the twisted group von Neumann algebra $\text{L}(Γ,σ)$. We then compute the center-valued von Neumann dimension of this Hilbert module. For abelian groups with 2-cocycle satisfying Kleppner's condition, we show that the center-valued von Neumann dimension reduces to the scalar value $d_π \text{vol}(G/Γ)$, where $d_π$ is the formal dimension of $π$ and $\text{vol}(G/Γ)$ is the covolume of $Γ$ in $G$. We apply our results to characterize the existence of multiwindow super frames and Riesz sequences associated to $π$ and $Γ$. In particular, we characterize when a lattice in the time-frequency plane of a second countable, locally compact abelian group admits a Gabor frame or Gabor Riesz sequence.

Interpreting intermediate convolutional layers of generative CNNs trained on waveforms

description: This paper presents a technique to interpret and visualize intermediate layers in generative CNNs trained on raw speech data in an unsupervised manner. We argue that averaging over feature maps after ReLU activation in each transpose convolutional layer yields interpretable time-series data. This technique allows for acoustic analysis of intermediate layers that parallels the acoustic analysis of human speech data: we can extract F0, intensity, duration, formants, and other acoustic properties from intermediate layers in order to test where and how CNNs encode various types of information. We further combine this technique with linear interpolation of a model's latent space to show a causal relationship between individual variables in the latent space and activations in a model's intermediate convolutional layers. In particular, observing the causal effect between linear interpolation and the resulting changes in intermediate layers can reveal how individual latent variables get transformed into spikes in activation in intermediate layers. We train and probe internal representations of two models -- a bare WaveGAN architecture and a ciwGAN extension which forces the Generator to output informative data and results in the emergence of linguistically meaningful representations. Interpretation and visualization is performed for three basic acoustic properties of speech: periodic vibration (corresponding to vowels), aperiodic noise vibration (corresponding to fricatives), and silence (corresponding to stops). The proposal also allows testing of higher-level morphophonological alternations such as reduplication (copying). In short, using the proposed technique, we can analyze how linguistically meaningful units in speech get encoded in each convolutional layer of a generative neural network.

Discrete R Symmetries and Anomalies

description: We comment on aspects of discrete anomaly conditions focussing particularly on $R$ symmetries. We review the Green-Schwarz cancellation of discrete anomalies, providing a heuristic explanation why, in the heterotic string, only the "model-independent dilaton" transforms non-linearly under discrete symmetries; this argument suggests that, in other theories, multiple fields might play a role in anomaly cancellations, further weakening any anomaly constraints at low energies. We provide examples in open string theories of non-universal discrete anomalies at low energies. We then consider the fact that $R$ symmetries are necessarily broken at low energies. We exhibit dynamical models, in which fields charged under the Standard Model gauge group (for example, a doublet and a triplet) gain roughly equal masses, but where the doublet and the triplet possess different discrete charges and the low-energy anomaly conditions fail.

description:     Το καρβίδιο του πυριτίου είναι ένα υποσχόμενο ευρέως χάσματος (wide band-gap) ημιαγωγικό υλικό με πολύ καλές και ελπιδοφόρες ιδιότητες για την κατασκευή ηλεκτρονικών ισχύος  που θα μπορούν να λειτουργήσουν σε υψηλότερη ισχύ, θερμοκρασία και συχνότητα ενώ παράλληλα θα έχουν και μικρότερες διακοπτικές απώλειες, απώλειες αγωγής καθώς και μικρότερα ρεύματα διαρροής.
    Δύο δείγματα που περιλαμβάνουν 4H-SiC Vertical JFETs και 4H-SiC διόδους, κατασκευάστηκαν στην Ομάδα Μικροηλεκτρονικής του ΙΗΔΛ-ΙΤΕ, μελετήθηκαν και χαρακτηρίστηκαν ηλεκτρικά. Η δομή των στοιχείων που υπάρχουν στα δείγματα αυτά, περιγράφεται ενώ παρουσιάζεται και η διαδικασία (λιθογραφικά βήματα) που ακολουθήθηκε για τη κατασκευή των δειγμάτων.
    Στη συνέχεια παρουσιάζεται μια αναλυτική αναφορά για την ακολουθούμενη διαδικασία του επί ψηφίδα (on-wafer) ηλεκτρικού χαρακτηρισμού. Όλες οι απαραίτητες μετρήσεις και η στατιστική μελέτη που πρέπει να γίνουν τόσο για τα τρανζίστορ όσο και για τις διόδους  περιγράφονται λεπτομερώς, μαζί με τις αντίστοιχες συνδεσμολογίες μετρήσεων καθώς και τα σχετικά όρια ασφαλείας.
    Ο χαρακτηρισμός των δειγμάτων οδηγεί στην εξαγωγή χρήσιμων συμπερασμάτων σχετικά τόσο με την σπουδαιότητα της ακολουθούμενης διαδικασίας χαρακτηρισμού όσο και για την απόδοση των τρανζίστορ και διόδων που μελετήθηκαν. Γίνονται εμφανείς πολλοί συσχετισμοί μεταξύ των δεικτών απόδοσης των στοιχείων και των γεωμετρικών του διαστάσεων. Oι συσχετισμοί αυτοί  είναι πάρα πολύ χρήσιμοι στο μελλοντικό σχεδιασμό νέων στοιχείων.
    Επιπρόσθετα, γίνονται συγκρίσεις μεταξύ των μετρήσεων των τρανζίστορ και προσομοιώσεων με βάση τη θεωρία του στοιχείου ώστε να κρίνουμε σε τι βαθμό υπάρχει συμφωνία μεταξύ τους.

description: A manuscript collective indulgence, written on vellum in the chancery hand used in Rome, granted to the nuns and giving them permission to display a famed painting of the Virgin Mary. Remission of the temporal consequences for sin could be obtained by visiting and viewing the painting on several feast days, including the Beheading of John the Baptist, St. Catherine, and St. Anne the Mother of Mary, all of whose images are portrayed around the border. This document itself would also have been on display on the feast days to announce the indulgence. This is a somewhat atypical example, and illustrates the variety of forms an indulgence might take. This item, along with several others in this exhibit, is part of the Burke Library’s Leander van Ess Collection, acquired in 1838 as the core library at the founding of Union Theological Seminary and which continues to be celebrated resource for the history of the book.

description: We study the $2k$-th moment of central values of the family of primitive cubic and quartic Dirichlet $L$-functions. We establish sharp lower bounds for all real $k \geq 1/2$ unconditionally for the cubic case and under the Lindelöf hypothesis for the quartic case. We also establish sharp lower bounds for all real $0 \leq k<1/2$ and sharp upper bounds for all real $k \geq 0$ for both the cubic and quartic cases under the generalized Riemann hypothesis (GRH). As an application of our results, we establish quantitative non-vanishing results for the corresponding $L$-values.

description: In recent years, information security essential in various arenas like internet communication, multimedia systems, medical imaging, tele-medicine and military communication. However, most of them faced with some problems such as the lack of robustness and security. In this letter, after reviewing the main points of the chaotic trigonometric maps and the coupled map lattices, we introduce the scheme of chaos-based image encryption based on coupled map lat tices. The scheme decreases periodic effect of the ergodic dynamical systems in the chaos-based image encryption. To evaluate the security of the encrypted image of this scheme, the key space analysis, the correlation of two adjacent pixels and differential attack were performed. This scheme tries to improve the problem of failure of encryption such as small key space and level of security.

title: Σχεδίαση συστήματος ανάκτησης ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας κατά την πέδηση ηλεκτρικών οχημάτων

description: Για την επιβράδυνση ενός οχήματος, είτε ηλεκτρικού είτε όχι, χρησιμοποιούνται μηχανικά φρένα ώστε το όχημα τελικά να ακινητοποιηθεί ή να αποκτήσει μικρότερη ταχύτητα από την αρχική. Κατά τη διαδικασία αυτή (πέδηση), η κινητική ενέργεια του οχήματος μετατρέπεται μέσω της τριβής σε θερμότητα που απελευθερώνεται στο περιβάλλον. Επομένως, αυτή η ενέργεια ουσιαστικά δεν χρησιμοποιείται και επιπλέον επιβαρύνει το περιβάλλον.
Την τελευταία δεκαετία όμως έχει αναπτυχθεί η ιδέα μιας διαφορετικής, ωφέλιμης μετατροπής της κινητικής ενέργειας που διαθέτει το όχημα κατά την πέδηση, ώστε να επιτυγχάνεται επαναχρησιμοποίηση της. Η αρχή αυτή ονομάζεται Αναγεννητική Πέδηση (Regenerative braking) και σκοπός της είναι η μετατροπή της κινητικής ενέργειας του οχήματος σε ηλεκτρική, χρησιμοποιώντας κάποιο μέσο αποθήκευσης ηλεκτρικής ενέργειας (όπως μπαταρίες, υπερπυκνωτές κτλ). Η αποθηκευμένη ενέργεια μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί αργότερα από το όχημα για ένα μέρος της κίνησης του.
Το TUCer-14 είναι το πιο πρόσφατο πρωτότυπο όχημα που έχει κατασκευάσει η ομάδα TUCer του Πολυτεχνείου Κρήτης και αποτελεί μία ιδανική πλατφόρμα πειραματισμού για τεχνολογίες όπως αυτή που μελετάται σε αυτή την εργασία. Το όχημα κινείται με την βοήθεια ενός τριφασικού ηλεκτροκινητήρα που τροφοδοτείται από κυψέλη υδρογόνου μέσω ενός ηλεκτρονικού μετατροπέα ισχύος που μετατρέπει το συνεχές ρεύμα της κυψέλης σε εναλλασσόμενο. Κατά την διαδικασία της πέδησης ο ηλεκτροκινητήρας δεν απαιτεί αλλά αντίθετα προσφέρει ενέργεια η οποία είναι ηλεκτρική και προέρχεται από την κινητική ενέργεια του οχήματος. Σε αυτή τη φάση ο μετατροπέας ισχύος λειτουργεί ως ανορθωτής και μετατρέπει το τριφασικό ρεύμα του ηλεκτροκινητήρα σε συνεχές.
Το σύστημα ανάκτησης ενέργειας που παρουσιάζεται σε αυτή την εργασία παρεμβάλλεται ανάμεσα στην κυψέλη υδρογόνου και στον ηλεκτρονικό μετατροπέα ισχύος του ηλεκτροκινητήρα. Όταν ο τελευταίος λειτουργεί ως γεννήτρια τότε η ηλεκτρική ενέργεια που παράγεται, αποθηκεύεται σε υπερπυκνωτές. Σε κάθε άλλη περίπτωση, το σύστημα αποφασίζει αν ο ηλεκτροκινητήρας θα τροφοδοτηθεί από την κυψέλη υδρογόνου ή από τους υπερπυκνωτές στους οποίους έχει αποθηκευθεί η ανακτημένη ενέργεια. Σύμφωνα με τα στοιχεία από τα πειράματα που πραγματοποιήθηκαν, η προσθήκη του συστήματος ανάκτησης ενέργειας μείωσε την κατανάλωση ενέργειας του οχήματος κατά περίπου 16 %.

description: Theoretical results are reported, concerning the reflection and transmission of few-cycle laser pulses on a very thin conducting layer, which may represent the surface current density of the massless charges of graphene. It is shown that the pulse may undergo violent distortions, even at moderate intensities, to that extent, that the scattered radiation contains rectangular trains, which are approximate realizations of Rademacher functions in the optical or terahertz regime.

De captivitate babylonica ecclesiae / praeludium Martini Lutheri
Creators: name: Luther, Martin, 1483-1546
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2019
Subjects: Controversial literature--Protestant authors

description: Unlike his Open Letter to the Christian Nobility, this more theologically nuanced work is composed in Latin (though there were German editions) and addressed to a specialist audience in a more measured tone. Citing the Bible as evidence, Luther argues that the number of sacraments should be reduced from seven to three (and finally to two), thereby removing major pillars upon which the structure of the medieval way of life had been erected. In particular, he attacks the Church’s doctrine, which drew on Aristotelian categories, of the "transubstantiation" of bread and wine at Communion, instead insisting that "the Holy Spirit is greater than Aristotle." The work articulates ideas that would come to define many Protestant traditions, but also prove to be sources of ongoing division among them.

description: Kernel methods are a cornerstone of classical machine learning. The idea of using quantum computers to compute kernels has recently attracted attention. Quantum embedding kernels (QEKs) constructed by embedding data into the Hilbert space of a quantum computer are a particular quantum kernel technique that allows to gather insights into learning problems and that are particularly suitable for noisy intermediate-scale quantum devices. In this work, we first provide an accessible introduction to quantum embedding kernels and then analyze the practical issues arising when realizing them on a noisy near-term quantum computer. We focus on quantum embedding kernels with variational parameters. These variational parameters are optimized for a given dataset by increasing the kernel-target alignment, a heuristic connected to the achievable classification accuracy. We further show under which conditions noise from device imperfections influences the predicted kernel and provide a strategy to mitigate these detrimental effects which is tailored to quantum embedding kernels. We also address the influence of finite sampling and derive bounds that put guarantees on the quality of the kernel matrix. We illustrate our findings by numerical experiments and tests on actual hardware.

Ein freyheyt des Sermons Bebstlichen ablass vn[d] gnad belangend / Doctoris Martini Luther, wider die vorlegu[n]g So zu schmach sein vnd desselben Sermons erdichtet

Subjects: Indulgences

description: This very popular work, Luther’s first important publication in German, appeared in spring 1518 and further develops the arguments of the Ninety-five Theses concerning the inadequacies of the indulgence system. At this date there was just a single printer in Wittenberg who was underprepared for the huge market Luther’s writings generated. To meet the demand, many of Luther’s works were printed or re-printed in other cities with more developed printing industries such as Leipzig, Augsburg, Basel, and (as here) Nuremberg. The sermon’s final passage captures the combative tone that would characterize some of Luther’s polemical works: "...some people reproach me as a heretic (for such a truth is quite injurious for their money boxes), I pay little heed to such babblings [and the only ones who do are] some muddled brains who have never sniffed a Bible, have never read the Christian teachers, have never understood their own teachers but rather are decaying in their riddled and fragmented opinions. For if they had understood them, they would know that they should defame no one without hearing and challenging him. Nonetheless, may God give them and us right understanding. Amen."

description: Events provide the fundamental abstraction for representing time-evolving information that may affect situations under certain circumstances. The research domain of Complex Event Recognition focuses on tracking and analysing streams of events, in order to detect event patterns of special significance. The event streams may originate from various sources, such as sensors, video tracking systems, computer networks, etc. Furthermore, the event stream velocity and volume pose significant challenges to event processing systems. We propose dRTEC, an event recognition system that employs the Event Calculus formalism and operates in multiple computer cores for scalable distributed event recognition. We evaluate dRTEC experimentally using two real world applications and we show that it is capable of real-time and efficient event recognition.

description: Context. The Gum 31 bubble containing the stellar cluster NGC 3324 is a poorly-studied young region close to the Carina Nebula. Aims. We are aiming to characterise the young stellar and protostellar population in and around Gum 31 and to investigate the star-formation process in this region. Methods. We identify candidate young stellar objects from Spitzer, WISE, and Herschel data. Combining these, we analyse the spectral energy distributions of the candidate young stellar objects. With density and temperature maps obtained from Herschel data and comparisons to a 'collect and collapse' scenario for the region we are able to further constrain the characteristics of the region as a whole. Results. 661 candidate young stellar objects are found from WISE data, 91 protostar candidates are detected through Herschel observations in a 1.0 deg x 1.1 deg area. Most of these objects are found in small clusters or are well aligned with the H II bubble. We also identify the sources of Herbig-Haro jets. The infrared morphology of the region suggests that it is part of the larger Carina Nebula complex. Conclusions. The location of the candidate young stellar objects in the rim of the H II bubble is suggestive of their being triggered by a 'collect and collapse' scenario, which agrees well with the observed parameters of the region. Some candidate young stellar objects are found in the heads of pillars, which points towards radiative triggering of star formation. Thus, we find evidence that in the region different mechanisms of triggered star formation are at work. Correcting the number of candidate young stellar objects for contamination we find ~ 600 young stellar objects in Gum 31 above our completeness limit of about 1 M_sol. Extrapolating the intital mass function down to 0.1 M_sol, we estimate a total population of ~ 5000 young stars for the region.

Examining the effect of ownership structure on firm financial performance in Egypt
Creators: name: El Nahas, Karim El Din
Publisher: name: Cardiff Metropolitan University
Year: 2023
Subjects: Finance

description: The study seeks to investigate the relationship between Business Ownership Structure (Managerial Ownership, Institutional Ownership, Block Holding Owning 5% or More, and Free Float Ownership) and Financial Performance (ROA, ROE, and Tobin Q) in the top 50 Egyptian stock exchange firms. To accomplish this goal, the literature was reviewed, and thus the research hypotheses were developed. Previous studies identified the Business Ownership Structure dimensions of managerial ownership, institutional ownership, block holding owning 5% or more, and free float ownership. On the other hand, earlier studies looked at metrics for a company's financial performance, including Tobin Q, ROA, and ROE. As a result, the deductive method was applied, and research hypotheses were created and put to the test using statistical methods. Using secondary data, the research hypotheses were evaluated. The relationship between the dimensions of the business ownership structure and each of the financial performance indicators—ROA, ROE, and Tobin Q—is the focus of the research hypotheses. Data was gathered from the official websites of Egypt's stock exchange for the most active fifty companies on the Egyptian stock exchange from 2004 to 2019. The data was then analyzed with SPSS, and the research results and findings were drawn. After using SPSS to analyze the data, conclusions and research findings were generated. The findings showed there was no evidence to support the first hypothesis, which claimed there was a connection between managerial ownership and financial performance (ROA, ROE, and Tobin Q). While the second hypothesis, which claimed that institutional ownership and financial performance (ROA, ROE, and Tobin Q) are significantly correlated, was fully supported. The fourth hypothesis, according to which there is a relationship between free float ownership and financial performance (ROA, ROE, and Tobin Q), was also fully supported. However, due to a multicollinearity issue, the third hypothesis, which claimed a connection between block holder ownership and financial performance (ROA, ROE, and Tobin Q), cannot be tested.

description: The geometric properties of sigma models with target space a Jacobi manifold are investigated. In their basic formulation, these are topological field theories - recently introduced by the authors - which share and generalise relevant features of Poisson sigma models, such as gauge invariance under diffeomorphisms and finite dimension of the reduced phase space. After reviewing the main novelties and peculiarities of these models, we perform a detailed analysis of constraints and ensuing gauge symmetries in the Hamiltonian approach. Contact manifolds as well as locally conformal symplectic manifolds are discussed, as main instances of Jacobi manifolds.
