description: We present a segment-level wavefront stability error budget for space telescopes essential for exoplanet detection. We use a detailed finite element model to relate the temperature gradient at the location of the primary mirror to wavefront variations on each of the segment. We apply the PASTIS sensitivity model forward approach to allocate static tolerances in physical units for each segment, and transfer these tolerances to the temporal domain via a model of the WFS&C architecture in combination with a Zernike phase sensor and science camera. We finally estimate the close-loop variance and limiting contrast for the segments' thermo-mechanical modes.

description: This paper is to introduce a type of full multigrid method for the nonlinear eigenvalue problem. The main idea is to transform the solution of nonlinear eigenvalue problem into a series of solutions of the corresponding linear boundary value problems on the sequence of finite element spaces and nonlinear eigenvalue problems on the coarsest finite element space. The linearized boundary value problems are solved by some multigrid iterations. Besides the multigrid iteration, all other efficient iteration methods for solving boundary value problems can serve as the linear problem solver. We will prove that the computational work of this new scheme is truly optimal, the same as solving the linear corresponding boundary value problem. In this case, this type of iteration scheme certainly improves the overfull efficiency of solving nonlinear eigenvalue problems. Some numerical experiments are presented to validate the efficiency of the new method.

description: The presence of aliasing makes modular verification of object-oriented code difficult. If multiple clients depend on the properties of an object, one client may break a property that others depend on.
We have developed a modular verification approach based on the novel abstraction of object propositions, which combine predicates and information about object aliasing. In our methodology, even if shared data is modified, we know that an object invariant specified by a client holds. Our permission system allows verification using a mixture of linear and nonlinear reasoning. We thus offer an alternative to separation logic verification approaches. Object propositions can be more modular in some cases than separation logic because they can more effectively hide the exact aliasing relationships within a module. We validate the practicality of our approach by verifying an instance of the composite pattern. We implement our methodology in the intermediate verification language Boogie (of Microsoft Research), for the composite pattern example.

description: We present Fabry-Perot observations in the H$α$ and [S II] lines to study the kinematics of the Magellanic-type dwarf irregular galaxy NGC 1569, these observations allowed us to computed the H$α$ velocity field of this galaxy. Doing a detailed analysis of the velocity along the line-of-sight and H$α$ velocity profiles, we identified the origin of most of the motions in the innermost parts of the galaxy and discarded the possibility of deriving a rotation curve that traces the gravitational well of the galaxy. We analysed the kinematics of the ionised gas around 31 supernova remnants previously detected in NGC 1569 by other authors, in optical and radio emission. We found that the H$α$ velocity profiles of the supernova remnants are complex indicating the presence of shocks. Fitting these profiles with several Gaussian functions, we computed their expansion velocities which rank from 87 to 188 km s$^{-1}$ confirming they are supernova remnants. Also, we determined the physical properties such as electron density, mechanical energy, and kinematic age for 30 of the 31 supernova remnants and found they are in the radiative phase with an energy range from 1 to 39$\times$10$^{50}$ erg s$^{-1}$ and an age from 2.3 to 8.9$\times$10$^4$ yr. Finally, we estimated the Surface Brightness - Diameter ($Σ$-D) Relation for NGC 1569 and obtained a slope $β$ = 1.26$\pm$0.2, comparable with the $β$ value obtained for supernova remnants in galaxies M31 and M33.

description: Our algorithm, ParaMor, fared well in Morpho Challenge 2007 (Kurimo et al., 2007), a peer operated competition pitting against one another algorithms designed to discover the morphological structure of natural languages from nothing more than raw text. ParaMor constructs sets of affixes closely mimicking the paradigms of a language, and, with these structures in hand, annotates word forms with morpheme boundaries. Of the four language tracks in Morpho Challenge 2007, we entered ParaMor in English and German. Morpho Challenge 2007 evaluated systems on their precision, recall, and balanced F1 at identifying morphological processes, whether those processes mark derivational morphology or inflectional features. In English, ParaMor’s balanced precision and recall outperform at F1 an already sophisticated baseline induction algorithm, Morfessor (Creutz, 2006). ParaMor placed fourth in English overall. In German, ParaMor suffers from a low morpheme recall. But combining ParaMor’s analyses with analyses from Morfessor results in a set of analyses that outperform either algorithm alone, and that place first in F1 among all algorithms submitted to Morpho Challenge 2007.

Quantum Spin-Wave Theory for non-collinear Spin Structures, a Review

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this review, we trace the evolution of the quantum spin-wave theory treating non-collinear spin configurations. Non-collinear spin configurations are consequences of the frustration created by competing interactions. They include simple chiral magnets due to competing nearest-neighbor (NN) and next-NN interactions and systems with geometry frustration such as the triangular antiferromagnet and the Kagomé lattice. We review here spin-wave results of such systems and also systems with the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. Accent is put on these non-collinear ground states which have to be calculated before applying any spin-wave theory to determine the spectrum of the elementary excitations from the ground states. We mostly show results obtained by the use of a Green's function method. These results include the spin-wave dispersion relation and the magnetizations, layer by layer, as functions of $T$ in 2D, 3D and thin films. Some new unpublished results are also included. Technical details and discussion on the method are shown and discussed.

description: Evolutionary models on graphs, as an extension of the Moran process, have two major implementations: birth-death (BD) models (or the invasion process) and death- birth (DB) models (or voter models). The isothermal theorem states that the fixation probability of mutants in a large group of graph structures (known as isothermal graphs, which include regular graphs) coincides with that for the mixed population. This result has been proven by Lieberman et al (Nature 433: 312-316, 2005) in the case of BD processes, where mutants differ from the wild types by their birth rate (and not by their death rate). In this paper we discuss to what extent the isothermal theorem can be formulated for DB processes, proving that it only holds for mutants that differ from the wild type by their death rate (and not by their birth rate). For more general BD and DB processes with arbitrary birth and death rates of mutants, we show that the fixation probabilities of mutants are different from those obtained in the mass-action populations. We focus on spatial lattices and show that the difference between BD and DB processes on 1D and 2D lattices are non-small even for large population sizes. We support these results with a generating function approach that can be generalized to arbitrary graph structures. Finally, we discuss several biological applications of the results.

description: Die Durchführung einer Klassenlektüre in einer Integrationsklasse ist anspruchsvoll. Da Kinder mit einer geistigen Behinderung oft eine verzögerte Sprachentwicklung aufweisen, ist die Heterogenität der Lesekompetenzen gross. Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit der Frage, welche Auswirkungen für das Lernen am Gemeinsamen Gegenstand eine in Leichte Sprache übersetzte Klassenlektüre für Kinder mit einer geistigen Behinderung hat. Dazu wurde das Buch «Kleiner Werwolf» von Cornelia Funke in Leichte Sprache übersetzt und in einer Integrationsklasse erprobt. Die anschliessend durchgeführten Interviews wurden mit der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass dadurch mehr Kinder die Geschichte verstehen, aber die Leichte Sprache nicht allen Kindern mit einer geistigen Behinderung entspricht. Zudem beeinflussen überfachliche und sprachproduktive Kompetenzen das Lernen am Gemeinsamen Gegenstand in der gesamten Unterrichtseinheit. Diese können nicht einzig mittels Leichter Sprache differenziert werden.
The nature of working memory operation during the comprehension of unambiguous, complex sentences
Creators: name: Johnson, Marcus
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: The current studies, using eye-tracking methodology, sought to investigate the notion that processing difficulty may occur when reading sentences in which two or more noun phrases are encountered before they are integrated with verbs. This difficulty may be alleviated if the noun phrases are sufficiently dissimilar. Relative clauses (RC) and clefts, which can present readers with two or more noun phrases before the verbs which integrate them into the rest of sentence, were used to test this notion. Evidence for increased processing difficulty was found in Experiments 1 and 2 when two similar, but not dissimilar noun phrases were encountered before any verbs. Additionally, Experiment 3 utilized concurrent load methodology to test the possibility that the working memory responsible for language comprehension is modularized from general working memory. Experiment 3 provided evidence in support of similarity-based working memory and in opposition to the notion of modularized language comprehension working memory.

description: Spatial confinement in nanoporous media affects the structure, thermodynamics and mobility of molecular soft matter often markedly. This article reviews thermodynamic equilibrium phenomena, such as physisorption, capillary condensation, crystallisation, self-diffusion, and structural phase transitions as well as selected aspects of the emerging field of spatially confined, non-equilibrium physics, i.e. the rheology of liquids, capillarity-driven flow phenomena, and imbibition front broadening in nanoporous materials. The observations in the nanoscale systems are related to the corresponding bulk phenomenologies. The complexity of the confined molecular species is varied from simple building blocks, like noble gas atoms, normal alkanes and alcohols to liquid crystals, polymers, ionic liquids, proteins and water. Mostly, experiments with mesoporous solids of alumina, carbon, gold, silica, and silicon having pore diameters ranging from a few up to 50 nanometers are presented. The observed peculiarities of nanopore-confined condensed matter are also discussed with regard to applications. A particular emphasis is put on texture formation upon crystallisation in nanoporous media, a topic both of high fundamental interest and of increasing nanotechnological importance, e.g., for the synthesis of organic/inorganic hybrid materials by melt infiltration, the usage of nanoporous solids in crystal nucleation or in template-assisted electrochemical deposition of nano structures.

description: This deliverable provides the first iteration of the Quality Assurance and certification Framework (QAF) for Open Science professional training and qualifications. It offers a reference framework (not a prescriptive requirement) to assure the quality of training materials and resources, based in four sections or sub-frameworks important in the context of Skills4EOSC project’s principles and philosophy: Minimum Viable Skillset, FAIR-by-design and ELSI (Ethical, Legal and Social Issues), in conjunction with a comprehensive evaluation framework and learning resources catalogues. The document is a first approach to establish a set of attributes and useful questions for assessing the training materials created by Skills4EOSC. It also provides a useful reference for analysing the quality of any other Open Science course or educational resource. To come up with the initial QAF this first iteration of the deliverable defined a methodology of analysis for four sub-frameworks with essential elements, best practices and evaluation frameworks, in order to ignite a broader discussion with the stakeholders. This deliverable points out also some proposals for the community-endorsed version of the QAF and challenges for the future work and implementation.

description: Road construction projects maintain transportation infrastructures. These projects range from the short-term (e.g., resurfacing or fixing potholes) to the long-term (e.g., adding a shoulder or building a bridge). Deciding what the next construction project is and when it is to be scheduled is traditionally done through inspection by humans using special equipment. This approach is costly and difficult to scale. An alternative is the use of computational approaches that integrate and analyze multiple types of past and present spatiotemporal data to predict location and time of future road constructions. This paper reports on such an approach, one that uses a deep-neural-network-based model to predict future constructions. Our model applies both convolutional and recurrent components on a heterogeneous dataset consisting of construction, weather, map and road-network data. We also report on how we addressed the lack of adequate publicly available data - by building a large scale dataset named "US-Constructions", that includes 6.2 million cases of road constructions augmented by a variety of spatiotemporal attributes and road-network features, collected in the contiguous United States (US) between 2016 and 2021. Using extensive experiments on several major cities in the US, we show the applicability of our work in accurately predicting future constructions - an average f1-score of 0.85 and accuracy 82.2% - that outperform baselines. Additionally, we show how our training pipeline addresses spatial sparsity of data.

description: Advances in camera and computing equipment hardware in recent years have made it increasingly simple to capture and store extensive amounts of video data. This, among other things, creates ample opportunities for the sharing of video sequences. In order to protect the privacy of subjects visible in the scene, automated methods to de-identify the images, particularly the face region, are necessary. So far the majority of privacy protection schemes currently used in practice rely on ad-hoc methods such as pixelation or blurring of the face. In this paper we show in extensive experiments that pixelation and blurring offers very poor privacy protection while significantly distorting the data. We then introduce a novel framework for de-identifying facial images. Our algorithm combines a model-based face image parameterization with a formal privacy protection model. In experiments on two large-scale data sets we demonstrate privacy protection and preservation of data utility.

description: We propose a motion segmentation algorithm for extracting foreground objects with a pan-tilt camera. Segmentation is achieved by spatio-temporal filtering of the scene to model the background. Temporal filtering is done by a set of modified AR (Auto-Regressive) filters which model the background statistics for a particular view of the scene. Backgrounds from different views of the pan-tilt camera are stitched together into a planar mosaic using a real-time image mosaicing strategy. Our algorithms work in real-time, require no user intervention, and facilitate high-quality video transmission at low bandwidths.

description: This dissertation studies labour policy and memoir documents through the lenses of time and affect theory in order to recover evidence of women of colour who laboured in the eighteenth-century sex trade. Each of my thesis chapters focuses on theories of time and affect to respectively examine one affective state that has been widely and problematically assigned to women of colour: laziness, shamelessness, industriousness, and decadence. The goal of my project is not to reaffirm these racial stereotypes but to use them as research tools to stake a two-pronged claim: that women of colour existed in this precarious workforce, and also that a white-neutral bias in the literary-historical record has influenced popular consciousness and allowed these affective sociocultural markers to stick to marginalized women over time and space. Learning about this type of women’s work and its lesser-known racialized dimension has long-term benefits for how we understand gendered labour that is often framed as unproductive.

description: The purpose of this paper is to construct and study equivariant Khovanov homology - a version of Khovanov homology theory for periodic links. Since our construction works regardless of the characteristic of the coefficient ring it generalizes a previous construction by Chbili. We establish invariance under equivariant isotopies of links and study algebraic properties of integral and rational version of the homology theory. Moreover, we construct a skein spectral sequence converging to equivariant Khovanov homology and use this spectral sequence to compute, as an example, equivariant Khovanov homology of torus links $T(n,2)$.

description: Lab testing with Nike Vaporflys (VP) has revealed running economy (RE) benefits of 2.5-4%. With runners also anecdotally reporting less sore calf muscles and less "beat up" legs after hard workouts, use of these shoes may cause runners to undergo physiological adaptations since their muscles may be aided during training by the shoe's energy returning technology. The purpose of this pilot study is to investigate the long-term effects of using VP in workouts by comparing training in VP vs traditional racing flats (FL) on race performance and explore physiological and biomechanical adaptations.
Collegiate cross-country runners (n=8) completed pre- and post-intervention testing in both VP and FL. They were assigned either VP or FL for an 8-week intervention. Metabolic and biomechanical data were collected and compared.
FL-trained runners improved average running economy more than the VP-trained runners (FL: 5.61 ± 1.11%; VP: 0.97 ± 3.64%; p=0.077, ES (g)=1.409). Computing a "VP % benefit" by comparing the RE when running in VP compared to running in FL, the VP-trained runners increased VP % Benefit compared to FL-trained runners (VP: 0.21 ± 2.23%; FL: -0.38 ± 0.24%; p=0.433, g=0.148) In this pilot phase there were no significant correlations between biomechanical and metabolic measures. Heterogeneity of foot strike techniques likely prevented group biomechanical differences from being observed. We will use the effect sizes of these differences to power the next larger phase of the study.
This pilot study suggests a specificity of training effect where participants improved relative RE more from PRE to POST when running in the shoe type they trained in. Overall, the FL group improved RE to a greater extent, suggesting that training in FL is more optimal for race performance despite decreasing the acute RE benefits incurred from super shoes.

description: Most nonlinear problem solvers use a least-commitment search strategy, reasoning about partially ordered plans. Although partial orders are useful for exploiting parallelism in execution, least-commitment is NP-hard for complex domain descriptions with conditional effects. Instead, a casual-commitment strategy is developed, as a natural framework to reason and learn about control decisions in planning. This paper describes how NOLIMIT reasons about totally ordered plans using a casual-commitment strategy, how it generates a partially ordered solution from a totally ordered one by analyzing the dependencies among the plan steps, and finally how resources are allocated by exploiting the parallelism embedded in the partial order. We illustrate our claims with the implemented algorithms and several examples. This work has been done in the context of the PRODIGY architecture that incorporates NOLIMIT, a nonlinear problem solver.
Purification and characterization of the Danaus plexippus cryptochromes

description: Cryptochromes are flavoproteins that function as blue-light photoreceptors to regulate growth in plants and to entrain the circadian clock in animals. The photochemical and signaling mechanisms by which cryptochromes function are still undefined. Two cryptochromes identified in Danaus plexippus have shown distinct in vivo activities where DpCry1 is similar to Drosophila melanogaster cryptochrome and DpCry2 is similar to mammalian cryptochromes. I purified and biochemically characterized both D. plexippus cryptochromes. DpCry1 is the first animal cryptochrome to contain near-stoichiometric flavin. Photoreduction of FADox to FAD°¯ and fluorescence lifetime measurements showing an extremely short lifetime of flavin in DpCry1 both suggest a novel photochemical mechanism for DpCry1. DpCry2 contained only trace amounts of flavin and both proteins contained sub-stoichiometric MTHF. Purification of DpCry1 as the first animal cryptochrome with near-stoichiometric flavin will enable crucial in vitro biochemical and biophysical experiments that have never been conducted on an animal cryptochrome.

description: Lack of data quantifying the performance cost of implementing good exception handling often causes developers to skimp on exception handling based on its overestimated perceived cost. In an effort to remedy this problem we provide performance data on the cost of building good exception handling into software. We use the Safe Fast IO library as a basis for this study. SFIO improves robustness by a factor of 3 to 10 over STDIO without sacrificing performance. We were able to improve the robustness of the critical SFIO functions by another factor of 5, thus quantifying and reducing robustness failure rates by a factor of up to 70 from standard I/O functions, with an average performance penalty of 1% as measured by the original SFIO benchmark scheme. Future processor architecture improvements will further improve checking speed, essentially eliminating performance as an obstacle to improving software robustness.
Mourning Again in America: Memorial Day, Monuments, and the Politics of Remembrance
Creators: name: Britt, Lucy
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2017

description: The subjects and modes of mourning undertaken in public are consequential for past and continuing injustices because they indicate what a society cares about remembering and how. Holidays and monuments, as expressions of civil religion, affect how citizens read their history by rejecting or legitimating state violence and war in the future. Counter-narratives such as those from oppressed groups often emerge to challenge dominant narratives of civil religion. Close readers of civil religious ceremonies and markers such as Memorial Day and Confederate memorials should undertake a critical examination of the symbols’ historical meanings. I propose a politics of mourning that leverages the legal doctrine of government speech to reject impartiality and construct a public sphere in which different narratives of history are acknowledged but not all are endorsed.

description: We reconsider the problem of the spontaneous emission of light by an excited atomic state. We scrutinize the survival probability of this excited state for very short times, in the so-called Zeno regime, for which we show that the dynamics is dictated by a coherent --in phase -- response of the on-shell and off-shell vacuum modes. We also develop a perturbative approach in order to interpolate between different temporal regimes: the Zeno, golden rule (linear) and Wigner-Weisskopf (exponential) regimes. We compare results obtained with the $\hat{\mathbf{E}}\cdot\hat{\mathbf{x}}$ and $\hat{\mathbf{A}}\cdot\hat{\mathbf{p}}$ interaction Hamiltonian,s, using successively the dipole approximation and the exact coupling.

description: Let $s\_2(x)$ denote the number of digits "$1$" in a binary expansion of any $x \in \mathbb{N}$. We study the mean distribution $μ\_a$ of the quantity $s\_2(x+a)-s\_2(x)$ for a fixed positive integer $a$.It is shown that solutions of the equation$$ s\_2(x+a)-s\_2(x)= d $$are uniquely identified by a finite set of prefixes in $\{0,1\}^*$, and that the probability distribution of differences $d$ is given by an infinite product of matrices whose coefficients are operators of $l^1(\mathbb{Z})$.Then, denoting by $l(a)$ the number of patterns "$01$" in the binary expansion of $a$, we give the asymptotic behaviour of this probability distribution as $l(a)$ goes to infinity as well as estimates of the variance of the probability measure $μ\_a$
Determination of Acceleration from 3D Reconstruction of Coronal Mass Ejections Observed by STEREO
Creators: name: Joshi, Anand D

Year: 2011

description: We employ a three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction technique, for the first time to study the kinematics of six coronal mass ejections (CMEs), using images obtained from the COR1 and COR2 coronagraphs on board the twin STEREO spacecraft, as also the eruptive prominences (EPs) associated with three of them using images from the Extreme UltraViolet Imager (EUVI). A feature in the EPs and leading edges (LEs) of all the CMEs was identified and tracked in images from the two spacecraft, and a stereoscopic reconstruction technique was used to determine the 3D coordinates of these features. True velocity and acceleration were determined from the temporal evolution of the true height of the CME features. Our study of kinematics of the CMEs in 3D reveals that the CME leading edge undergoes maximum acceleration typically below 2R$_\{odot}$. The acceleration profiles of CMEs associated with flares and prominences exhibit different behaviour. While the CMEs not associated with prominences show a bimodal acceleration profile, those associated with prominences do not. Two of the three associated prominences in the study show a high and rising value of acceleration up to a distance of almost 4R$_\{odot}$ but acceleration of the corresponding CME LE does not show the same behaviour, suggesting that the two may not be always driven by the same mechanism. One of the CMEs, although associated with a C-class flare showed unusually high acceleration of over 1500 m s$^{-2}$. Our results therefore suggest that only the flare-associated CMEs undergo residual acceleration, which indicates that the flux injection theoretical model holds good for the flare-associated CMEs, but a different mechanism should be considered for EP-associated CMEs.

description: The propagation properties of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are crucial to predict its geomagnetic effect. A newly developed three dimensional (3D) mask fitting reconstruction method using coronagraph images from three viewpoints has been described and applied to the CME ejected on August 7, 2010. The CME's 3D localisation, real shape and morphological evolution are presented. Due to its interaction with the ambient solar wind, the morphology of this CME changed significantly in the early phase of evolution. Two hours after its initiation, it was expanding almost self-similarly. CME's 3D localisation is quite helpful to link remote sensing observations to in situ measurements. The investigated CME was propagating to Venus with its flank just touching STEREO B. Its corresponding ICME in the interplanetary space shows a possible signature of a magnetic cloud with a preceding shock in VEX observations, while from STEREO B only a shock is observed. We have calculated three principle axes for the reconstructed 3D CME cloud. The orientation of the major axis is in general consistent with the orientation of a filament (polarity inversion line) observed by SDO/AIA and SDO/HMI. The flux rope axis derived by the MVA analysis from VEX indicates a radial-directed axis orientation. It might be that locally only the leg of the flux rope passed through VEX. The height and speed profiles from the Sun to Venus are obtained. We find that the CME speed possibly had been adjusted to the speed of the ambient solar wind flow after leaving COR2 field of view and before arriving Venus. A southward deflection of the CME from the source region is found from the trajectory of the CME geometric center. We attribute it to the influence of the coronal hole where the fast solar wind emanated from.

Simulations of gas sloshing in galaxy cluster Abell 2052

description: The intracluster plasma of Abell 2052 exhibits in X-rays a spiral structure extending more than 250 kpc, which is comprised of cool gas. This feature is understood to be the result of gas sloshing caused by the off-axis collision with a smaller subcluster. We aim to recover the dynamical history of Abell 2052 and to reproduce the broad morphology of the spiral feature. To this end, we perform hydrodynamical $N$-body simulations of cluster collisions. We obtain two regimes that adequately reproduce the desired features. The first scenario is a close encounter and a recent event (0.8 Gyr since pericentric passage), while the second scenario has a larger impact parameter and is older (almost 2.6 Gyr since pericentric passage). In the second case, the simulation predicts that the perturbing subcluster should be located approximately 2 Mpc from the centre of the major cluster. At that position, we are able to identify an observed optical counterpart at the same redshift: a galaxy group with $M_{500} = (1.16 \pm 0.43) \times 10^{13} M_{\odot}$.
