description: Deep metric learning techniques have been used for visual representation in various supervised and unsupervised learning tasks through learning embeddings of samples with deep networks. However, classic approaches, which employ a fixed distance metric as a similarity function between two embeddings, may lead to suboptimal performance for capturing the complex data distribution. The Bregman divergence generalizes measures of various distance metrics and arises throughout many fields of deep metric learning. In this paper, we first show how deep metric learning loss can arise from the Bregman divergence. We then introduce a novel method for learning empirical Bregman divergence directly from data based on parameterizing the convex function underlying the Bregman divergence with a deep learning setting. We further experimentally show that our approach performs effectively on five popular public datasets compared to other SOTA deep metric learning methods, particularly for pattern recognition problems.

description: The postpartum period represents a formative time when new mothers face waves of physical and mental changes and health and wellness concerns, many of which were exacerbated by the COVID pandemic. Using survey data from mothers who gave birth during COVID, I aim to extract a narrative that highlights some of the potential shortcomings in postpartum care in the context of COVID and examine their demand for telehealth-based postpartum care. The survey was administered in September 2020 to 254 new and expecting mothers in North Carolina. I employed mixed methods to examine characteristics of new mothers who gave birth during the early portion of the COVID pandemic, find commonalities between them, and examine their perspectives on care. More specifically, (1) describe the sample population (2) examine patient perspectives on their care, and (3) determining correlations between telehealth use and insurance, telehealth use and demographic characteristics, and telehealth use and patient experience. Together, I hope my findings will draw a clear picture from the survey data and inform my advisor’s future work.

Indigenous data sovereignty

description: This study critically examines metadata infrastructures related to archival materials and Indigenous data sovereignty and data governance frameworks. By analyzing nationally and internationally recognized metadata content standards for archival materials, this study explores how rights, ownership, and access are defined and conceptualized in metadata standards conceived through different theoretical frameworks. Further, this study provides crosswalk maps for standards in relation to Murkutu, a metadata standard used primarily by Indigenous communities and Tribal entities to ensure culturally appropriate and legally sufficient intellectual property considerations, ownership, and access rights. Within the framework of internationally recognized rights for Indigenous peoples and nuanced understandings of ownership and property rights, this study adds to discussions within cultural heritage institutions and archival repositories by moving towards broadening understandings of appropriate stewardship of Indigenous archival materials and consultation with Tribal entities and communities.

description: We study a renormalizable theory that includes a heavy weak-singlet vectorlike lepton, $τ^\prime$, that decays into a pseudoscalar boson and a tau lepton. We show that this can be the dominant decay mode of $τ^\prime$ provided the pseudoscalar couplings deviate from the case of a Nambu-Goldstone boson. For a range of parameters, the pseudoscalar is long-lived, and mainly decays into a photon pair at one loop, or into a tau pair at tree level. Electroweak production of $τ^{\prime +} τ^{\prime -}$ leads to a rich phenomenology at colliders, including signals with many taus or photons. We analyze in detail the LHC signal involving two prompt taus and two displaced photon pairs. Particularly interesting is the case where the pseudoscalar has a decay length of a few meters and thus would typically deposit energy in the muon chambers of the CMS or ATLAS detectors.

Pedagogical, Critical, and Intercultural Transformations in Librarianship
Creators: name: Bonet, Mayra

Year: 2022

description: The ethos of higher education institutions is entrenched in a core of principles, values, and goals that demarcate their contribution to bolster knowledge, inquiry, research, and a broader understanding of the human condition. Furthermore, universities embrace individuals from various socioeconomic backgrounds, ethnicities, geographical regions, gender identities, and language groups who reconfigure the prototypical canonical discourse. The aforementioned framework epitomizes the foundation for the four chapters wherein the focus is on “Critical Pedagogy in Librarianship: Decolonizing the Curriculum, an Annotated Bibliography: Themes and Sample Resources, Myth and Reality in Librarianship, and a Collection on Social Justice and Inclusion Competency in Librarianship.” These intersecting essays link together the significance of the graduate curriculum to enhance critical thinking processes through the lens of feminist pedagogy, cultural competence, and social justice in librarianship. This project endeavors to underpin the importance of increasing venues of dialogue amidst schools of information and library science and librarians.

Beyond Particles: Unparticles in Strongly Correlated Electron Matter
Creators: name: Phillips, Philip W.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I am concerned in these lectures with the breakdown of the particle concept in strongly correlated electron matter. I first show that the standard procedure for counting particles, namely Luttinger's theorem, breaks down anytime pole-like excitations are replaced by ones that have a divergent self-energy. Such a breakdown obtains in electronic systems whose pole-like excitations do not extend to the edge of the Brillouin zone, as in Fermi arcs in the cuprates. Since any non-trivial infrared dynamics in strongly correlated electron matter must be controlled by a critical fixed point, unparticles are the natural candidate to explain the presence of charged degrees of freedom that have no particle content. The continuous mass formulation of unparticles is recast as an action in anti de Sitter space. Such an action serves as the generating functional for the propagator. This mapping fixes the scaling dimension of the unparticle to be $d_U=d/2+\sqrt{d^2+4}/2$ and ensures that the corresponding propagator has zeros with $d$ the spacetime dimension of the unparticle field. The general {\it dynamical} mechanism by which bulk operators, such as the Pauli term, couple to the scaling dimension of the boundary operator and thereby lead to a vanishing of the spectral weight at zero energy is reviewed in the context of unparticles and zeros. The analogue of the BCS gap equations with unparticles indicates that the transition temperature increases as the attractive interaction strength decreases, indicating that unparticles are highly susceptible to a superconducting instability.

description: We perform a complete calculation of the pion-kaon scattering amplitude in Chiral Perturbation Theory at finite temperature, paying particular attention to the analytic structure of the amplitude and the main differences with respect to the zero temperature case. We also extend the Inverse Amplitude Method at finite temperature for unequal-mass scattering processes, which allows us to unitarize the amplitude and obtain the thermal evolution of the $K_0^*(700)$ and $K^*(892)$ pole parameters. As a direct application of our analysis, we show that the thermal evolution of the $K_0^*(700)$ resonance is crucial to explain the behavior of the scalar susceptibility for isospin $I=1/2$, which in turn, is directly connected with chiral and $U(1)_A$ restoration properties of the QCD phase diagram.

description: The thermoelectric properties of PbSe have significantly improved in recent years reaching figures of merit ZT 1.6. The transport properties of the hole doped high temperature thermoelectric material PbSe are particularly interesting and play a key role in this. Here they were analyzed over a wide temperature and hole concentration ranges. The special features observed in the variation of the experimental Seebeck coefficient, and Hall coefficient can be accounted for within the framework of a two band model. Two valence bands separated by a temperature dependent energy offset are considered. The extremum of the light hole band has a density of states mass 0.27mo at room temperature. It is non-parabolic and anisotropic and can be described by the Kane model. The extremum of the heavy hole band is isotropic and parabolic with a much larger density of states mass 2.5mo. We find that for heavily doped compositions the high mass band contributes the Seebeck coefficient even at room temperature. With rising temperature holes are transferred from the light hole to the heavy hole branch giving rise to the anomalous temperature dependent Hall coefficient which is found peaked near 650 K.

description: Collective coupling of an ensemble of particles to a light field is commonly described by the Tavis--Cummings model. This model includes numerous eigenstates which are optically decoupled from the optically bright polariton states. To access these dark states requires breaking the symmetry in the corresponding Hamiltonian. In this paper, we investigate the influence of non-unitary processes on the dark state dynamics in molecular Tavis--Cummings model. The system is modelled with a Lindblad equation that includes pure dephasing, as they would be caused by weak interactions with an environment, and photon decay. Our simulations show that the rate of the pure dephasing, as well as the number of particles, has a significant influence on the dark state population.

description: Inhibition of the protein kinase CSNK2 with any of 30 specific and selective inhibitors representing different chemotypes, blocked replication of pathogenic human, bat, and murine β-coronaviruses. The potency of in-cell CSNK2A target engagement across the set of inhibitors correlated with antiviral activity and genetic knockdown confirmed the essential role of the CSNK2 holoenzyme in β-coronavirus replication. Spike protein endocytosis was blocked by CSNK2A inhibition, indicating that antiviral activity was due in part to a suppression of viral entry. CSNK2A inhibition may be a viable target for the development of anti-SARS-like β-coronavirus drugs.

description: Amyloidosis is a complex group of rare conditions. For patients, amyloidosis is severely debilitating: physically and psychologically. Currently, data are lacking to evaluate the medical, economic, and social burden of systemic amyloidosis. To analyse the patient burden according to the main types of systemic amyloidosis. The French Daily Impact of Amyloidosis study was an observational, cross-sectional and non-interventional study. Adults diagnosed with light chain (AL), transthyretin (ATTR), amyloid A (AA) and other rare forms of amyloidosis were eligible. Data regarding amyloidosis prevalence, diagnosis, management, and impact on everyday life were collected using a study-specific survey built by the Association Française Contre l’Amylose (AFCA) and the four French National Referral Centres for Amyloidosis. A total of 603 patients, predominantly male (65%) with an average age of 66.8 years, including 170 AL, 224 ATTRv, 109 ATTRwt and 25 AA amyloidosis patients, completed the study-specific survey. The median delay from presentation to confirmed diagnosis was 27.4 months but varied according to amyloidosis type. Patients before diagnosis had breathlessness (49%), tingling sensation (33%), pain (28%), difficulty in walking (28%) and weight loss (22%). Amyloidosis was most frequently suspected (49%) and confirmed (57%) in local hospitals but managed in French amyloidosis referral centres (58%). Patients often reported problems with mobility, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression, but not with self-care. Systemic amyloidosis severely impacts daily life. The delay to confirmed amyloidosis diagnosis needs to be reduced. Early, effective treatment is required to optimise patient benefits.

description: A fundamental challenge for wide-field imaging surveys is obtaining follow-up spectroscopic observations: there are > $10^9$ photometrically cataloged sources, yet modern spectroscopic surveys are limited to ~few x $10^6$ targets. As we approach the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) era, new algorithmic solutions are required to cope with the data deluge. Here we report the development of a machine-learning framework capable of inferring fundamental stellar parameters (Teff, log g, and [Fe/H]) using photometric-brightness variations and color alone. A training set is constructed from a systematic spectroscopic survey of variables with Hectospec/MMT. In sum, the training set includes ~9000 spectra, for which stellar parameters are measured using the SEGUE Stellar Parameters Pipeline (SSPP). We employed the random forest algorithm to perform a non-parametric regression that predicts Teff, log g, and [Fe/H] from photometric time-domain observations. Our final, optimized model produces a cross-validated root-mean-square error (RMSE) of 165 K, 0.39 dex, and 0.33 dex for Teff, log g, and [Fe/H], respectively. Examining the subset of sources for which the SSPP measurements are most reliable, the RMSE reduces to 125 K, 0.37 dex, and 0.27 dex, respectively, comparable to what is achievable via low-resolution spectroscopy. For variable stars this represents a ~12-20% improvement in RMSE relative to models trained with single-epoch photometric colors. As an application of our method, we estimate stellar parameters for ~54,000 known variables. We argue that this method may convert photometric time-domain surveys into pseudo-spectrographic engines, enabling the construction of extremely detailed maps of the Milky Way, its structure, and history.

description: Advances in chip-scale photonic-electronic integration are enabling a new generation of foundry-manufacturable implantable silicon neural probes incorporating nanophotonic waveguides and microelectrodes for optogenetic stimulation and electrophysiological recording in neuroscience research. Further extending neural probe functionalities with integrated microfluidics is a direct approach to achieve neurochemical injection and sampling capabilities. In this work, we use two-photon polymerization 3D printing to integrate microfluidic channels onto photonic neural probes, which include silicon nitride nanophotonic waveguides and grating emitters. The customizability of 3D printing enables a unique geometry of microfluidics that conforms to the shape of each neural probe, enabling integration of microfluidics with a variety of existing neural probes while avoiding the complexities of monolithic microfluidics integration. We demonstrate the photonic and fluidic functionalities of the neural probes via fluorescein injection in agarose gel and photoloysis of caged fluorescein in solution and in flxed brain tissue.

description: Rationale: Viral infections are complex processes based on an intricate network of molecular interactions. The infectious agent hijacks components of the cellular machinery for its profit, circumventing the natural defense mechanisms triggered by the infected cell. The successful completion of the replicative viral cycle within a cell depends on the function of viral components versus the cellular defenses. Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are important cellular modulators, either promoting or preventing the progression of viral infections. Among these ncRNAs, the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) family is especially relevant due to their intrinsic functional properties and ubiquitous biological roles. Specific lncRNAs have been recently characterized as modulators of the cellular response during infection of human host cells by single stranded RNA viruses. However, the role of host lncRNAs in the infection by human RNA coronaviruses such as SARS-CoV-2 remains uncharacterized. Methods: In the present work, we have performed a transcriptomic study of a cohort of patients with different SARS-CoV-2 viral load and analyzed the involvement of lncRNAs in supporting regulatory networks based on their interaction with RNA-binding proteins (RBPs). Results: Our results revealed the existence of a SARS-CoV-2 infection-dependent pattern of transcriptional up-regulation in which specific lncRNAs are an integral component. To determine the role of these lncRNAs, we performed a functional correlation analysis complemented with the study of the validated interactions between lncRNAs and RBPs. This combination of in silico functional association studies and experimental evidence allowed us to identify a lncRNA signature composed of six elements - NRIR, BISPR, MIR155HG, FMR1-IT1, USP30-AS1, and U62317.2 - associated with the regulation of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Conclusions: We propose a competition mechanism between the viral RNA genome and the regulatory lncRNAs in the sequestering of specific RBPs that modulates the interferon response and the regulation of RNA surveillance by nonsense-mediated decay (NMD).

description: Graph Neural Networks (GNNs) are well-suited for learning on homophilous graphs, i.e., graphs in which edges tend to connect nodes of the same type. Yet, achievement of consistent GNN performance on heterophilous graphs remains an open research problem. Recent works have proposed extensions to standard GNN architectures to improve performance on heterophilous graphs, trading off model simplicity for prediction accuracy. However, these models fail to capture basic graph properties, such as neighborhood label distribution, which are fundamental for learning. In this work, we propose GCN for Heterophily (GCNH), a simple yet effective GNN architecture applicable to both heterophilous and homophilous scenarios. GCNH learns and combines separate representations for a node and its neighbors, using one learned importance coefficient per layer to balance the contributions of center nodes and neighborhoods. We conduct extensive experiments on eight real-world graphs and a set of synthetic graphs with varying degrees of heterophily to demonstrate how the design choices for GCNH lead to a sizable improvement over a vanilla GCN. Moreover, GCNH outperforms state-of-the-art models of much higher complexity on four out of eight benchmarks, while producing comparable results on the remaining datasets. Finally, we discuss and analyze the lower complexity of GCNH, which results in fewer trainable parameters and faster training times than other methods, and show how GCNH mitigates the oversmoothing problem.

description: We show that the onset of laser multiple filamentation can be described as a critical phenomenon that we characterize both experimentally and numerically by measuring a set of seven critical exponents. This phase transition deviates from any existing universality class, and offers a unique perspective of conducting two-dimensional experiments of statistical physics at a human scale.

description: During devitrification, pre-existing crystallites grow by adding particles to their surface via a process that is either thermally activated (diffusive mode) or happens without kinetic barriers (fast crystal growth mode). It is yet unclear what factors determine the crystal growth mode and how to predict it. With simulations of repulsive hard-sphere-like (Weeks-Chandler-Andersen) glasses, we show for the first time that the same system at the same volume fraction and temperature can devitrify via both modes depending on the preparation protocol of the glass. We prepare two types of glass, a conventional glass (CG) via fast quenching and a uniform glass (UG) via density homogenization. Firstly, we bring either glass into contact with a crystal (X) and find the inherent structure (CGX/UGX). During energy minimization, the crystal front grows deep into the CG interface, while the growth is minimal for UG. When thermal noise is added, this behavior is reflected in different crystallization dynamics. CGX exhibits a density drop at the crystal growth front which correlates with enhanced dynamics at the interface and a fast growth mode. This mechanism may explain the faster crystal growth observed below the glass transition experimentally. In contrast, UGX grows via intermittent avalanche-like dynamics localized at the interface, a combination of localized mechanical defects and the exceptional mechanical stability imposed by the UG glass phase.

description: We examine the effectiveness and resilience of achieving quantum gates employing three approaches stemming from quantum control methods: counterdiabatic driving, Floquet engineering, and inverse engineering. We critically analyse their performance in terms of the gate infidelity, the associated resource overhead based on energetic cost, the susceptibility to time-keeping errors, and the degradation under environmental noise. Despite significant differences in the dynamical path taken, we find a broadly consistent behavior across the three approaches in terms of the efficacy of implementing the target gate and the resource overhead. Furthermore, we establish that the functional form of the control fields plays a crucial role in determining how faithfully a gate operation is achieved. Our results are demonstrated for single qubit gates, with particular focus on the Hadamard gate, and we discuss the extension to $N$-qubit operations.

description: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) can be effectively treated when detected early, reducing mortality rates significantly. Traditionally, phonocardiogram (PCG) signals have been utilized for detecting cardiovascular disease due to their cost-effectiveness and simplicity. Nevertheless, various environmental and physiological noises frequently affect the PCG signals, compromising their essential distinctive characteristics. The prevalence of this issue in overcrowded and resource-constrained hospitals can compromise the accuracy of medical diagnoses. Therefore, this study aims to discover the optimal transformation method for detecting CVDs using noisy heart sound signals and propose a noise robust network to improve the CVDs classification performance.For the identification of the optimal transformation method for noisy heart sound data mel-frequency cepstral coefficients (MFCCs), short-time Fourier transform (STFT), constant-Q nonstationary Gabor transform (CQT) and continuous wavelet transform (CWT) has been used with VGG16. Furthermore, we propose a novel convolutional recurrent neural network (CRNN) architecture called noise robust cardio net (NRC-Net), which is a lightweight model to classify mitral regurgitation, aortic stenosis, mitral stenosis, mitral valve prolapse, and normal heart sounds using PCG signals contaminated with respiratory and random noises. An attention block is included to extract important temporal and spatial features from the noisy corrupted heart sound.The results of this study indicate that,CWT is the optimal transformation method for noisy heart sound signals. When evaluated on the GitHub heart sound dataset, CWT demonstrates an accuracy of 95.69% for VGG16, which is 1.95% better than the second-best CQT transformation technique. Moreover, our proposed NRC-Net with CWT obtained an accuracy of 97.4%, which is 1.71% higher than the VGG16.

description: In recent years, permissionless blockchains have gained significant attention for their ability to secure and provide transparency in transactions. The development of blockchain technology has shifted from cryptocurrency to decentralized finance, benefiting millions of unbanked individuals, and serving as the foundation of Web3, which aims to provide the next generation of the internet with data ownership for users. The rise of NFTs has also helped artists and creative workers to protect their intellectual property and reap the benefits of their work. However, privacy risks associated with permissionless blockchains have become a major concern for individuals and institutions. The role of blockchain in the transition from Web2 to Web3 is crucial, as it is rapidly evolving. As more individuals, institutions, and organizations adopt this technology, it becomes increasingly important to closely monitor the new risks associated with permissionless blockchains and provide updated solutions to mitigate them. This paper endeavors to examine the privacy risks inherent in permissionless blockchains, including Remote Procedure Call (RPC) issues, Ethereum Name Service (ENS), miner extractable value (MEV) bots, on-chain data analysis, data breaches, transaction linking, transaction metadata, and others. The existing solutions to these privacy risks, such as zero-knowledge proofs, ring signatures, Hyperledger Fabric, and stealth addresses, shall be analyzed. Finally, suggestions for the future improvement of privacy solutions in the permissionless blockchain space shall be put forward.
