description: Machine learning (ML) tools such as encoder-decoder convolutional neural networks (CNN) can represent incredibly complex nonlinear functions which map between combinations of images and scalars. For example, CNNs can be used to map combinations of accelerator parameters and images which are 2D projections of the 6D phase space distributions of charged particle beams as they are transported between various particle accelerator locations. Despite their strengths, applying ML to time-varying systems, or systems with shifting distributions, is an open problem, especially for large systems for which collecting new data for re-training is impractical or interrupts operations. Particle accelerators are one example of large time-varying systems for which collecting detailed training data requires lengthy dedicated beam measurements which may no longer be available during regular operations. We present a recently developed method of adaptive ML for time-varying systems. Our approach is to map very high (N>100k) dimensional inputs (a combination of scalar parameters and images) into the low dimensional (N~2) latent space at the output of the encoder section of an encoder-decoder CNN. We then actively tune the low dimensional latent space-based representation of complex system dynamics by the addition of an adaptively tuned feedback vector directly before the decoder sections builds back up to our image-based high-dimensional phase space density representations. This method allows us to learn correlations within and to quickly tune the characteristics of incredibly high parameter systems and to track their evolution in real time based on feedback without massive new data sets for re-training.

description: Neural architecture search automates neural network design and has achieved state-of-the-art results in many deep learning applications. While recent literature has focused on designing networks to maximize accuracy, little work has been conducted to understand the compatibility of architecture design spaces to varying hardware. In this paper, we analyze the neural blocks used to build Once-for-All (MobileNetV3), ProxylessNAS and ResNet families, in order to understand their predictive power and inference latency on various devices, including Huawei Kirin 9000 NPU, RTX 2080 Ti, AMD Threadripper 2990WX, and Samsung Note10. We introduce a methodology to quantify the friendliness of neural blocks to hardware and the impact of their placement in a macro network on overall network performance via only end-to-end measurements. Based on extensive profiling results, we derive design insights and apply them to hardware-specific search space reduction. We show that searching in the reduced search space generates better accuracy-latency Pareto frontiers than searching in the original search spaces, customizing architecture search according to the hardware. Moreover, insights derived from measurements lead to notably higher ImageNet top-1 scores on all search spaces investigated.

description: Pesin's identity provides a profound connection between entropy $h_{KS}$ (statistical mechanics) and the Lyapunov exponent $λ$ (chaos theory). It is well known that many systems exhibit sub-exponential separation of nearby trajectories and then $λ=0$. In many cases such systems are non-ergodic and do not obey usual statistical mechanics. Here we investigate the non-ergodic phase of the Pomeau-Manneville map where separation of nearby trajectories follows $δx_t= δx_0 e^{λ_α t^α}$ with $0$ is related to the infinite invariant density, and most importantly to entropy. Our work gives a generalized Pesin's identity valid for systems with an infinite invariant density.

description: A systematic investigation of La0.67Ca0.33MnO3 manganites has been undertaken, mainly to understand the influence of varying crystallite size (nanometer range) on electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility and thermoelectric power. The materials were prepared by the sol-gel method of sintering at four different temperatures between 800 and 1100 degrees C. The samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction and data were analyzed using Rietveld refinement. The metal-insulator transition temperatures (TP) are found to increase with increasing sintering temperatures, while the magnetic transition temperatures (TC) decrease. The electrical resistivity and thermoelectric power data at low temperatures (T < TP) have been analyzed by considering various scattering phenomena, while the high temperature (T > TP) data were analyzed with Mott's small polaron hopping conduction mechanisms.

Sex typing

description: The study provides an experimental test of Kohlberg's claim that the achievement of gender constancy produces increases in children's sex typing. Preschool age children (N = 46) were randomly assigned to experimental groups and given lessons that taught that biological traits were: (a) fixed and stable across time and changes in appearance (i.e., pro-constancy training) or (b) mutable and variable across time and changes in appearance (i.e., anti-constancy training). Post-lesson testing sessions demonstrated that the lessons were highly effective in teaching gender constancy and also increased children's ability to make appearance-reality distinctions. Comparisons of posttest measures of sex typing between experimental and control children failed to find effects of gender constancy acquisition on sex typing. Results indicate that the attainment of gender constancy does not cause sex typing to increase.

description: The formation of quasi-2D nonlinear spin-wave eigenmodes in longitudinally magnetized stripes of a ferrimagnetic film, so-called guided spin-wave bullets, was experimentally observed by using time- and space-resolved Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy and confirmed by numerical simulation. They represent stable spin-wave packets propagating along a waveguide structure, for which both transversal instability and interaction with the side edges of the waveguide are important. The experiments and the numerical simulation of the evolution of the spin-wave excitations show that the shape of the formed packets and their behavior are strongly influenced by the confinement conditions. The discovery of these modes demonstrates the existence of quasi-stable nonlinear solutions in the transition regime between one-dimensional and two-dimensional wave packet propagation.

Candidate Members and Age Estimate of the Family of Kuiper Belt Object 2003 EL61

description: The collisional family of Kuiper belt object (KBO) 2003 EL61 opens the possibility for many interesting new studies of processes important in the formation and evolution of the outer solar system. As the first family in the Kuiper belt, it can be studied using techniques developed for studying asteroid families, although some modifications are necessary. Applying these modified techniques allows for a dynamical study of the 2003 EL61 family. The velocity required to change orbits is used to quantitatively identify objects near the collision. A method for identifying family members that have potentially diffused in resonances (like 2003 EL61) is also developed. Known family members are among the very closest KBOs to the collision and two new likely family members are identified: 2003 UZ117 and 1999 OY3. We also give tables of candidate family members which require future observations to confirm membership. We estimate that a minimum of ~1 GYr is needed for resonance diffusion to produce the current position of 2003 EL61, implying that the family is likely primordial. Future refinement of the age estimate is possible once (many) more resonant objects are identified. The ancient nature of the collision contrasts with the seemingly fresh surfaces of known family members, suggesting that our understanding of outer solar system surfaces is incomplete.

Valley polarization transition driven by biaxial strain in Janus $\mathrm{GdClF}$ monolayer

description: The valley degrees of freedom of carriers in crystals is useful to process information and perform logic operations, and it is a key factor for valley application to realize the valley polarization. Here, we propose a model that the valley polarization transition at different valley points (-K and K points) is produced by biaxial strain. By the first-principle calculations, we illustrate our idea with a concrete example of Janus $\mathrm{GdClF}$ monolayer. The predicted $\mathrm{GdClF}$ monolayer is dynamically, mechanically and thermally stable, and is a ferromagnetic (FM) semiconductor with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA), valence band maximum (VBM) at valley points and high Curie temperature ($T_C$). Due to its intrinsic ferromagnetism and spin orbital coupling (SOC), a spontaneous valley polarization will be induced, but the valley splitting is only -3.1 meV, which provides an opportunity to achieve valley polarization transition at different valley points by strain. In considered strain range ($a/a_0$: 0.94$\sim$1.06), the strained GdClF monolayer has always energy bandgap, strong FM coupling and PMA. The compressive strain is in favour of -K valley polarization, while the tensile strain makes for K valley polarization. The corresponding valley splitting at 0.96 and 1.04 strain are -44.5 meV and 29.4 meV, which are higher than the thermal energy of room temperature (25 meV). Due to special Janus structure, both in-plane and out-of-plane piezoelectric polarizations can be observed. It is found that the direction of in-plane piezoelectric polarizations can be overturned by strain, and the $d_{11}$ at 0.96 and 1.04 strain are -1.37 pm/V and 2.05 pm/V. Our works pave the way to design the ferrovalley material as multifunctional valleytronics and piezoelectric devices by strain.

description: Life expectancy for humans averaged around 35 years until the end of the 19th century. Since then, it has more than doubled, especially in Mediterranean countries where it now reaches almost 85 years. According to the World Economic Forum, in 2040 Spain would be the country with the highest life expectancy in the world (85.8 years) and Italy would rank fifth (84.5 years). The impact of the Covid-19 pandemic will affect these predictions as both countries have had an excess of deaths during 2020. However, both countries exemplify the increase of life expectancy during the last 120 years. The main factor promoting this increase in life expectancy is the development of antibiotics and vaccines that resulted in a marked decrease in bacterial and viral diseases that plagued our species throughout history. The current leading causes of death in the Western world, and especially in Europe, are dominated by coronary heart disease and cancer-related conditions. That is, diseases related to old age and poor eating habits in advanced societies. Nevertheless, infectious diseases are far from being eliminated as a threat, since bacteria and viruses continue to evolve and circumvent both natural and artificial barriers to infection.

description: In this thought-provoking book, Richard Healey proposes a new interpretation of quantum theory inspired by pragmatist philosophy. Healey puts forward the interpretation as an alternative to realist quantum theories on the one hand such as Bohmian mechanics, spontaneous collapse theories, and many-worlds interpretations, which are different proposals for describing what the quantum world is like and what the basic laws of physics are, and non-realist interpretations on the other hand such as quantum Bayesianism, which proposes to understand quantum theory as describing agents' subjective epistemic states. The central idea of Healey's proposal is to understand quantum theory as providing not a description of the physical world but a set of authoritative and objectively correct prescriptions about how agents should act. The book provides a detailed development and defense of that idea, and it contains interesting discussions about a wide range of philosophical issues such as representation, probability, explanation, causation, objectivity, meaning, and fundamentality. Healey's project is at the intersection of physics and philosophy. The book is divided into two parts. Part I of the book discusses the foundational questions in quantum theory from the perspective of the prescriptive interpretation. In Part II, Healey discusses the philosophical implications of the view. Both parts are written in a way that is largely accessible to non-specialists. In this brief book review, I will focus on two questions: (1) How does Healey's idea work? (2) What reasons are there to believe in it?

description: “You shall know a word by the company it keeps” (Firth, 1957), and, as
 this thesis attempts to demonstrate, also by how the company is kept. The
 primary motivation of this thesis is establishing a connection of current
 psycholinguistic evidence, i.e. experimental and theoretical findings
 regarding the structural design of the mental lexicon, to empirical
 findings from large-scale corpus-based collocation networks. One
 contribution of this work therefore lies in the triangulation (Noble
 & Heale, 2019, p. 67) of corpus linguistics, psycholinguistics and
 graph theory: bridging gaps between these approaches to language and
 developing new viewpoints on the data might help overcome or seriously
 limit fundamental biases and present a more well-founded manner of
 interpreting results from collocation analyses with regards to their
 capabilities of portraying mental processes and acting as a proxy for how
 readers/speakers perceive certain concepts. In order to address the
 existing research gap, a large-scale analysis of computationally generated
 corpus-based collocation networks based on the BNC 2014 and
 psycholinguistic word association networks based on the word association
 database SWOW-UK is carried out here. Word associations have been chosen
 as the basis for the psycholinguistic network since they portray the
 perceived relation between concepts via discrete linguistic units (Kang,
 2018, p. 87), similarly to collocations. From the theoretical perspective,
 in addition to new insights into current open questions regarding the
 structure and organisation of collocational knowledge, this approach also
 provides new research prompts for investigating the internal structure of
 the mental lexicon (ML) further. Another key contribution of this thesis
 is the development of a full pipeline for large scale collocation network
 generation that can be used by other researchers, including a thorough
 explanation of graph theoretical concepts to a linguistic audience paired
 with an in-depth analysis of the suitability of existing approaches to
 Association Measure calculation to ascribe the identified collocations a
 perceptual reality. The findings reveal that combinations of association
 measures (corpus linguistic approach), particularly log Dice, LL, and χ2,
 provide the best approximation of word association networks
 (psycholinguistic evidence), though systematic discrepancies remain.
 Additionally, word association networks are more tightly knit and
 generally strongly connected when compared to the more specialised and
 fragmented nature of collocation networks.

description: Simple general formula describing the p-V-T relationships of elastic solids is derived from theoretical considerations. The new EoS was tested to experiments of perovskite 0-109 GPa and 293-2000 K. The parameters providing the best fit are: Ko = 267.5 GPa, Vo = 24.284 cm3, alpha_o = 2.079x10^-5 K^-1, the pressure derivative of Ko is 1.556 and the pressure derivative of alpha_o is -1.098x10^-7 K^-1GPa^-1 . The root-mean-square-deviations (RMSD) of the residuals are 0.043 cm3, 0.79 GPa, and 125 K for the molar volume, pressure, and temperature respectively. These RMSD values are in the range of the uncertainty of the experiments, indicating that the five parameters semi-empirical EoS correctly describes the p-V-T relationships of perovskite. Separating the experiments into 200 K ranges the semi-empirical EoS was compared to the most widely used finite strain, interatomic potential, and empirical isothermal EoSs such as the Birch-Murnaghan, the Vinet, and the Roy-Roy respectively. Correlation coefficients, RMSDs of the residuals and Akaike Information Criteria were used for evaluating the fitting. Based on these fitting parameters under pure isothermal conditions the semi-empirical p-V EoS is slightly weaker than the Birch-Murnaghan and Vinet EoSs; however, the semi-empirical p-V-T EoS is superior in every temperature range to all of the investigated conventional isothermal EoSs.

description: Liquid gas two phase flow is a common occurrence in various industrial applications. For nuclear fusion applications with a Li based breeder, existence of two phase flow may lead to critical issues including decreased tritium breeding ratio, generation of hot spots and improper nuclear shielding. Additionally, a very large density ratio of liquid metal to gas mandates relevant experiments towards development and validation of software tools. PbLi has gained immense focus for its various advantages and is utilized in several breeding blanket concepts. In view of above mentioned requirements, a two phase detection tool is imperative for liquid PbLi environment. For liquid metal applications, electrical conductivity based probes are most suitable in terms of ruggedness, fabrication ease and operational simplicity. However, corrosive nature and high operational temperature for PbLi put severe demands on electrical insulation, a foremost requirement for electrical conductivity based schemes. In this study, a multivariable probe based on electrical conductivity and temperature measurement schemes is developed using Al2O3 coating as electrical insulation. Developed probe is validated in PbLi/Ar vertical column with bulk PbLi temperature upto 400 degC and time averaged void fraction upto 0.95 covering flow regimes from dispersed bubbly flow upto in box loss of coolant accident. Developed probe provides high reliability and excellent temporal resolution towards individual bubble detection through electrical conductivity based principle alongwith simultaneous two phase temperature trends. Present paper provides details about sensor probe fabrication, calibration, two phase test facility, void fraction estimations, bubble frequency and bubble residence time estimations alongwith critical observations from preliminary experimental investigations.

Abstract

Molecular interactions are central to understanding any biological system, but they are labor-intensive to measure with existing optical approaches. Tracking "tumbling" (rotational diffusion) is a generalizable strategy for determining particle size, from which the presence and size of binding partners in a complex can be inferred. However, fluorescence-based tumbling measurements have historically been limited to small targets (<30 kDa) due to the short (nanosecond) lifetime of typical fluorophores. This size limit leaves most of the proteome inaccessible, severely limiting the usefulness of the approach. To reveal larger complexes and realize the full potential of optical tumbling measurements, several groups have explored longer-lived states, such as photobleached molecules, reversibly photoswitched proteins, or triggerable triplets. Here, we describe four combinations of photophysics and hardware for measuring tumbling with longer-lived states, gearing each toward a candidate biological use case. We explore these four measurement schemes with simulations and, in one case, experimentally validate the approach. Our work suggests that, with minor reconfiguring, most fluorescence approaches to detect the presence of proteins could also reveal their binding state.

description: \swift \xrt observations of the \hi line source \VV were performed on April 22 and April 26, 2008 for a total exposure time of 9.2ks. This is the first pointed X-ray observation of \VV, a putative dark galaxy in the Virgo cluster, and no photons were detected from this source. The non-detection of extended X-ray emission within the angular extent of the \hi source corresponds to a 99% confidence upper limit of $2.1 \times 10^{-14}$\ergcms in the 0.3--2.0 keV band. The equivalent upper limit to the amount of diffuse hot gas associated with \VV is in the range $4\times 10^{7} - 2 \times 10^8$ \msun for a hot gas temperature between 0.1 and 1 keV. The non-detection also corresponds to a 99%-confidence upper limit on the flux from a point-like source of $8\times 10^{-15}$\ergcms in the 0.3--2.0 keV band. We discuss the constraints on the nature of \VV imposed by these observations and the theoretical implications of these results.

description: The main goal of this thesis is to facilitate the process of industrial automated systems development applying formal methods to ensure the reliability of systems. A new formulation of distributed diagnosability problem in terms of Discrete Event Systems theory and automata framework is presented, which is then used to enforce the desired property of the system, rather then just verifying it. This approach tackles the state explosion problem with modeling patterns and new algorithms, aimed for verification of diagnosability property in the context of the distributed diagnosability problem. The concepts are validated with a newly developed software tool.

description: We use mobile device data to construct empirical interpersonal physical contact networks in the city of Portland, Oregon, both before and after social distancing measures were enacted during the COVID-19 pandemic. These networks reveal how social distancing measures and the public's reaction to the incipient pandemic affected the connectivity patterns within the city. We find that as the pandemic developed there was a substantial decrease in the number of individuals with many contacts. We further study the impact of these different network topologies on the spread of COVID-19 by simulating an SEIR epidemic model over these networks, and find that the reduced connectivity greatly suppressed the epidemic. We then investigate how the epidemic responds when part of the population is vaccinated, and we compare two vaccination distribution strategies, both with and without social distancing. Our main result is that the heavy-tailed degree distribution of the contact networks causes a targeted vaccination strategy that prioritizes high-contact individuals to reduce the number of cases far more effectively than a strategy that vaccinates individuals at random. Combining both targeted vaccination and social distancing leads to the greatest reduction in cases, and we also find that the marginal benefit of a targeted strategy as compared to a random strategy exceeds the marginal benefit of social distancing for reducing the number of cases. These results have important implications for ongoing vaccine distribution efforts worldwide.

description: We present an overview of Dr. Penrose's model of a cyclic universe, minus the big crunch which relies upon black hole collection of matter after an a long term expansion phase from an initial big bang . We affirm that the suggested evolution equation presented at his lecture for his model meets requirements as to an emergent quintessence field from a vacuum state . We try to offer suggestions as to how to investigate his controversial conformal mapping of matter/energy via Hawkings radiation from a potentially infinite number of black holes to a new big bang. This is his 'ripples in a pond' effect which we find highly unusual but worth serious study and investigation.

Multidimensional item response theory models with general and specific latent traits for ordinal data
Creators: name: Martelli, Irene <1984>

Year: 2014
Subjects: SECS-S/01 Statistica

description: The aim of the thesis is to propose a Bayesian estimation through Markov chain Monte Carlo of multidimensional item response theory models for graded responses with complex structures and correlated traits. In particular, this work focuses on the multiunidimensional and the additive underlying latent structures, considering that the first one is widely used and represents a classical approach in multidimensional item response analysis, while the second one is able to reflect the complexity of real interactions between items and respondents.
A simulation study is conducted to evaluate the parameter recovery for the proposed models under different conditions (sample size, test and subtest length, number of response categories, and correlation structure).
The results show that the parameter recovery is particularly sensitive to the sample size, due to the model complexity and the high number of parameters to be estimated. For a sufficiently large sample size the parameters of the multiunidimensional and additive graded response models are well reproduced. The results are also affected by the trade-off between the number of items constituting the test and the number of item categories.
An application of the proposed models on response data collected to investigate Romagna and San Marino residents' perceptions and attitudes towards the tourism industry is also presented.

description: Accurate prediction of interfacial slip in nanoscale channels is required by many microfluidic applications. Existing hydrodynamic solutions based on Maxwellian boundary conditions include an empirical parameter that depends on material properties and pore dimensions. This paper presents a derivation of a new expression for the slip coefficient that is not based on the assumptions concerning the details of solid-fluid collisions and whose parameters are obtainable from \textit{equilibrium} simulation. The results for the slip coefficient and flow rates are in good agreement with non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulation.

description: Gate-tunable Josephson junctions embedded in a microwave environment provide a promising platform to in-situ engineer and optimize novel superconducting quantum circuits. The key quantity for the circuit design is the phase-dependent complex admittance of the junction, which can be probed by sensing an rf SQUID with a tank circuit. Here, we investigate a graphene-based Josephson junction as a prototype gate-tunable element enclosed in a SQUID loop that is inductively coupled to a superconducting resonator operating at 3 GHz. With a concise circuit model that describes the dispersive and dissipative response of the coupled system, we extract the phase-dependent junction admittance corrected for self-screening of the SQUID loop. We decompose the admittance into the current-phase relation and the phase-dependent loss and as these quantities are dictated by the spectrum and population dynamics of the supercurrent-carrying Andreev bound states, we gain insight to the underlying microscopic transport mechanisms in the junction. We theoretically reproduce the experimental results by considering a short, diffusive junction model that takes into account the interaction between the Andreev spectrum and the electromagnetic environment, from which we deduce a lifetime of ~17 ps for non-equilibrium populations.

description: We suggest SU(5)$'$ in the hidden sector toward a possible gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking scenario for removing the SUSY flavor problem, with an example constructed in $\Z_{12-I}$ with three families. The example we present has the Pati-Salam type classification of particles in the observable sector and has no exotics at low energy. We point out that six or seven very light pairs of ${\bf 5}'$ and $\bar{\bf 5}'$ out of ten vectorlike $\five'$ and $\fiveb'$ pairs of SU(5)$'$ is achievable, leading to a possibility of an unstable supersymmetry breaking vacuum. The possibility of different compactification radii of three two tori toward achieving the needed coupling strength is also suggested.

description: The observation of Pauli blocking of atomic spontaneous decay via direct measurements of the atomic population requires the use of long-lived atomic gases where quantum statistics, atom recoil and cooperative radiative processes are all relevant. We develop a theoretical framework capable of simultaneously accounting for all these effects in a regime where prior theoretical approaches based on semi-classical non-interacting or interacting frozen atom approximations fail. We apply it to atoms in a single 2D pancake or arrays of pancakes featuring an effective $Λ$ level structure (one excited and two degenerate ground states). We identify a parameter window in which a factor of two extension in the atomic lifetime clearly attributable to Pauli blocking should be experimentally observable in deeply degenerate gases with $\sim 10^{3} $ atoms. Our predictions are supported by observation of a number-dependent excited state decay rate on the ${}^{1}\rm{S_0}-{}^{3}\rm{P_1}$ transition in $^{87}$Sr atoms.

Residual velocities of Small Magellanic Cloud star clusters

description: We analyzed the largest Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) cluster sample (32) with proper motions and radial velocity measurements, from which we obtained their space velocity components. By adopting as a reference the recent best-fitted rotating disc of SMC star clusters as a function of the position angle, we computed their residual velocity vectors, and compared their magnitudes ($Δ$V) with that of a cluster with residual velocity components equal to the velocity dispersions along the three independent SMC rotating disc axes of motion ($Δ$V = 60 km/s). We found that clusters that belong to SMC tidally induced structures have $Δ$V > 50 km/s, which suggests that space velocities of clusters in the process of escaping the rotating disc kinematics, are measurably different. Studied clusters pertaining to a northern branch of the Magellanic Bridge, the main Magellanic Bridge, the Counter-Bridge and the West halo give support to these findings. NGC 121, the oldest known SMC cluster, does not belong to any SMC tidal feature, and has $Δ$V = 64 km/s, slightly above the boundary between bound and kinematically perturbed clusters.
