Narrative, self-governance, and addiction

description: Addiction has long inflicted heavy costs on individuals and society yet we still lack an account of agency that can satisfactorily explain addicted behaviour. This thesis attempts to develop such an account by drawing on theories of narrative self-constitution. I argue that a narrative account improves on the reward maximisation views promoted by Gene Heyman and George Ainslie and the normative planning views promoted by Richard Holton and Michael Bratman. Heyman and Ainslie define all action, including addicted action, as reward maximizing where rewards are fixed by extra-agential forces. This account eliminates both the possibility of a synchronic struggle against addictive desire and the possibility of self-governance in general. Therefore, it clashes with the experience of addicts and clinicians who see recovery as an extended agential struggle. Normative planning theories improve on these accounts by making room for self-governance. According to these views, self-governance varies according to how much effort the agent puts into conforming to norms of practical reason as they form and enact their plans and policies. However, there remain a variety of agential phenomena that are mysterious on normative planning accounts. The most glaring cases are where addicts recover despite there being no improvement in their planning skills or circumstances and where addicts fail to recover despite disvaluing their lifestyle and having the planning skills to pursue available alternatives. The narrative account defended in this thesis builds on normative planning accounts by showing how networks of intentions are nested within more holistic self-narratives that include interpretations of one’s contingent circumstances. The way agents self-narrate, therefore, affects their self-governance in ways that go beyond mere normative organization of intentions. As a consequence, certain styles of self-narration can entrench addiction or facilitate recovery somewhat independently of one’s values, planning skills, and available opportunities.

description: Transformer design is the de facto standard for natural language processing tasks. The success of the transformer design in natural language processing has lately piqued the interest of researchers in the domain of computer vision. When compared to Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Vision Transformers (ViTs) are becoming more popular and dominant solutions for many vision problems. Transformer-based models outperform other types of networks, such as convolutional and recurrent neural networks, in a range of visual benchmarks. We evaluate various vision transformer models in this work by dividing them into distinct jobs and examining their benefits and drawbacks. ViTs can overcome several possible difficulties with convolutional neural networks (CNNs). The goal of this survey is to show the first use of ViTs in CV. In the first phase, we categorize various CV applications where ViTs are appropriate. Image classification, object identification, image segmentation, video transformer, image denoising, and NAS are all CV applications. Our next step will be to analyze the state-of-the-art in each area and identify the models that are currently available. In addition, we outline numerous open research difficulties as well as prospective research possibilities.

description: The stochastic effective theory approach, often called stochastic inflation, is widely used in cosmology to describe scalar field dynamics during inflation. The existing formulations are, however, more qualitative than quantitative because the connection to the underlying quantum field theory (QFT) has not been properly established. A concrete sign of this is that the QFT parameters depend on the renormalisation scale, and therefore the relation between the QFT and stochastic theory must have explicit scale dependence that cancels it. In this paper we achieve that by determining the parameters of the second-order stochastic effective theory of light scalar fields in de Sitter to linear order in the self-coupling constant $λ$. This is done by computing equal-time two-point correlators to one-loop order both in QFT using dimensional regularisation and the $\overline{\rm MS}$ renormalisation scheme and the equal-time four-point correlator to leading order in both theories, and demanding that the results obtained in the two theories agree. With these parameters, the effective theory is valid when $m\lesssim H$ and $λ^2\ll m^4/H^4$, and therefore it is applicable in cases where neither perturbation theory nor any previously proposed stochastic effective theories are.

description: This paper presents a novel method for structural data recognition using a large number of graph models. In general, prevalent methods for structural data recognition have two shortcomings: 1) Only a single model is used to capture structural variation. 2) Naive recognition methods are used, such as the nearest neighbor method. In this paper, we propose strengthening the recognition performance of these models as well as their ability to capture structural variation. The proposed method constructs a large number of graph models and trains decision trees using the models. This paper makes two main contributions. The first is a novel graph model that can quickly perform calculations, which allows us to construct several models in a feasible amount of time. The second contribution is a novel approach to structural data recognition: graph model boosting. Comprehensive structural variations can be captured with a large number of graph models constructed in a boosting framework, and a sophisticated classifier can be formed by aggregating the decision trees. Consequently, we can carry out structural data recognition with powerful recognition capability in the face of comprehensive structural variation. The experiments shows that the proposed method achieves impressive results and outperforms existing methods on datasets of IAM graph database repository.

description: Long-range correlations manifested as power spectral density scaling $1/f^β$ for frequency $f$ and a range of exponents $β$ are investigated for a superposition of uncorrelated pulses with distributed durations $τ$. Closed-form expressions for the frequency power spectral density are derived for a one-sided exponential pulse function and several variants of bounded and unbounded power-law distributions of pulse durations ${P_τ(τ)\sim1/τ^α}$ with abrupt and smooth cutoffs. The asymptotic scaling relation $β=3-α$ is demonstrated for $1<α<3$ in the limit of an infinitely broad distribution $P_τ(τ)$. Logarithmic corrections to the frequency scaling are exposed at the boundaries of the long-range dependence regime, $β=0$ and $β=2$. Analytically demonstrated finite-size effects associated with distribution truncations are shown to reduce the frequency ranges of scale invariance by several decades. The regimes of validity of the $β=3-α$ relation are clarified.

description: We explore the accuracy of the clustering-based redshift inference within the MICE2 simulation. This method uses the spatial clustering of galaxies between a spectroscopic reference sample and an unknown sample. The goal of this study is to give a preview of the redshift accuracy one can reach with this method. To do so, we first highlight the requirements of this technique in term of number of objects in both the reference and unknown samples. We also confirm that this method does not require a representative spectroscopic sample for calibration. We estimate that a density of spectroscopic objects of $10^{-5}$ arcmin$^{-2}$ per redshift bin of width $δz = 0.01$ over $9000 \ \text{deg}^{2}$ allows to reach 0.1 \% accuracy in the mean redshift for a galaxy density compatible with next generation of cosmological surveys. This number is compatible with the density of the Quasi Stellar Objects in BOSS. Second we demonstrate our ability to measure individual redshifts for galaxies independently from the photometric redshifts procedure. The resulting individual clustering redshifts have a bias=$-0.001$, an outlier fraction of $η=3.57\%$ and a scatter of $σ=0.027$ to $i<25$. The advantage of this procedure is threefold: i) it allows the use of clustering redshifts for any field in astronomy, ii) it allows the possibility to combine photometric and clustering based redshifts to get an improved redshift estimation, iii) it allows the use of cluster-$z$ to define tomographic bins for weak lensing. Finally we explore this last option and build 5 clustering redshift selected tomographic bins from redshift 0.2 to 1. We found a bias on the mean redshift estimate of $0.002$ per bin.

description: This paper introduces a lightweight gesture recognition system based on 60 GHz frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar. We show that gestures can be characterized efficiently by a set of five features, and propose a slim radar processing algorithm to extract these features. In contrast to previous approaches, we avoid heavy 2D processing, i.e. range-Doppler imaging, and perform instead an early target detection - this allows us to port the system to fully embedded platforms with tight constraints on memory, compute and power consumption. A recurrent neural network (RNN) based architecture exploits these features to jointly detect and classify five different gestures. The proposed system recognizes gestures with an F1 score of 98.4% on our hold-out test dataset, it runs on an Arm Cortex-M4 microcontroller requiring less than 280 kB of flash memory, 120 kB of RAM, and consuming 75 mW of power.

The modulatory effects of attention and spatial location on masked face-processing: insights from the reach-to-touch paradigm

Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022

description: In masked priming paradigms, targets are responded to faster and more accurately when preceded by subliminal primes from the same category than a different category. Intriguingly, where these congruence priming effects elicited by word and number stimuli depend on the allocation of attention, masked faces produce priming regardless of how well attention is focused. The research presented in this thesis exploits this unique property to examine the temporal dynamics of nonconscious information processing, and the factors which modulate this hidden cognitive process. Using congruence priming effects for masked faces as an index of nonconscious perception, I present four empirical studies that examine how processing below our level of conscious awareness is affected by manipulations of spatial and temporal attention. In Study 1, I show that the allocation of both spatial and temporal attention facilitates nonconscious processing at less than 350ms of stimulus-processing time. These results suggest that attention modulates nonconscious information processing in a graded fashion that mirrors its influence on the perception of consciously presented stimuli. Study 2 investigates the differential benefit of attention between the vertical hemifields, and documents the breakthrough finding that face-processing is supported better in the upper-hemifield than the lower-hemifield. Study 3 explores whether this upper-hemifield advantage generalises to recognition of a nonface object (human hands). Study 4 investigates and dispels the possibility that the pattern of vertical asymmetry effects for face-perception relates to an upward bias in participants' visuospatial attention. The final chapter of this thesis summarises the findings from these four studies and discusses their implications within a broader research context.

description: The heterogeneous information network (HIN), which contains rich semantics depicted by meta-paths, has emerged as a potent tool for mitigating data sparsity in recommender systems. Existing HIN-based recommender systems operate under the assumption of centralized storage and model training. However, real-world data is often distributed due to privacy concerns, leading to the semantic broken issue within HINs and consequent failures in centralized HIN-based recommendations. In this paper, we suggest the HIN is partitioned into private HINs stored on the client side and shared HINs on the server. Following this setting, we propose a federated heterogeneous graph neural network (FedHGNN) based framework, which facilitates collaborative training of a recommendation model using distributed HINs while protecting user privacy. Specifically, we first formalize the privacy definition for HIN-based federated recommendation (FedRec) in the light of differential privacy, with the goal of protecting user-item interactions within private HIN as well as users' high-order patterns from shared HINs. To recover the broken meta-path based semantics and ensure proposed privacy measures, we elaborately design a semantic-preserving user interactions publishing method, which locally perturbs user's high-order patterns and related user-item interactions for publishing. Subsequently, we introduce an HGNN model for recommendation, which conducts node- and semantic-level aggregations to capture recovered semantics. Extensive experiments on four datasets demonstrate that our model outperforms existing methods by a substantial margin (up to 34% in HR@10 and 42% in NDCG@10) under a reasonable privacy budget.

description: In this work, we study unconventional anisotropic topologically ordered phases in $3d$ that manifest type-II fractonic physics along submanifolds. While they behave as usual topological order along a preferred spatial direction, their physics along perpendicular planes is dictated by the presence of fractal subsystem symmetries, completely restricting the mobility of anyonic excitations and their bound states. We consider an explicit lattice model realization of such phases and proceed to study their properties under periodic boundary conditions and, later, in the presence of boundaries. We find that for specific lattice sizes, the system possesses line and fractal membrane symmetries that are mutually anomalous, resulting in a nontrivially gapped ground state space. This amounts to the spontaneous breaking of the fractal symmetries, implying a subextensive ground state degeneracy. For the remaining system sizes the fractal symmetries are explicitly broken by the periodic boundary conditions, which is intrinsically related to the uniqueness of the ground state. Despite that, the system is still topologically ordered since locally created quasiparticles have nontrivial mutual statistics and, in the presence of boundaries, it still presents anomalous edge modes. The intricate symmetry interplay dictated by the lattice size is a wild manifestation of ultraviolet/infrared (UV/IR) mixing.

Clusters, Cities, and COVID-19: The Impacts on Employment Centers in Virginia

Year: 2025

description:
This project sought to do two things—attempt to understand the still-unfolding impacts of the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic on the city itself, and the ways in which defining that city alters the outcome. More narrowly, I sought to  understand the impact of  COVID-19 on employment centers.  To do this, I employed a Hierarchical Density-based Spatial Clustering of Applications with Noise (HDBSCAN) to create spatial clusters to identify significant clusters of employment using from the U.S. Census Bureau’s synthetic employment data. I measured -COVID-19's impacts through variables such as wages, industry diversity, employment change and changes in sales volume. Throughout this process I sought to refine and explore the clustering methodology and understand its limitations and successes in context with the economic state of Virginia, as an example. The results varied by region, showing that both the impacts of COVID-19, as well as modeling and data, are spatially dependent. I find that there may be a loss in low- to mid-wage jobs, or a movement of wages upwards, that results in better outlooks for the number of high wage jobs post-COVID-19. I also find there is some relation to the impacts of COVID-19 and employment clustering, and there does seem to be potential movement out of centers and into sub- and outer centers, but that is also dependent on what centers they are, and where they are.

description: A beam telescope as one of the most important and often requested test beam equipment provides particle tracking to test beamusers. At the DESY II test beam facility, a new beam telescope called Lycoris based on a microstrip sensor has been designed toaddress the user demands for momentum measurement in a 1 T solenoid magnet or large area tracking with limited space (3:5 cmbetween the potential user device and the magnet inner wall). Lycoris is designed to provide a high-precision resolution of at least10 µm along the bending direction, and a large active area of 1010 cm2 to cover at least 90% of the beam particles at energies of1-6 GeV. The microstrip sensor was originally designed for the Silicon Detector (SiD) at the International Linear Collider (ILC),which adopted a hybrid-less design, i.e. a second metallization layer is used to route signals from strips to the bump-bonded ASIC,and from the ASIC to a wire-bond pad to the outside. This hybrid-less arrangement eliminates the need for a complex hybriddesign, and its functioning is first-time tested in this project. The performance of the sensor modules was firstly tested in the labthen at the DESY II test beam facility in August/September 2018, and the results will be presented here. In addition, a summarywill be given at the end with an overview of the ongoing test beam campaign of the Lycoris prototype in February 2019.

description: Pulse arrival time measurements over fourteen years with the Nanshan 25-m and Parkes 64-m radio telescopes have been used to determine the average profile and timing properties for PSR J1757$-$2421 (B1754$-$24). Analysis of the radio profile data shows a large variation of spectral index across the profile and an unusual increase in component separation with increasing frequency. The timing observations show that PSR B1754$-$24 underwent a large glitch with a fractional increase in spin frequency of $Δν_{\rm g}/ν\sim 7.8\times10^{-6}$ in May 2011. At the time of the glitch there was a large permanent jump in the rotational frequency accompanied by two exponential recovery terms with timescales of 15(6) and 97(15) days, respectively.

Experimental evolution of bacteria exposed to sub-inhibitory concentrations of silver nanoparticles
Creators: name: Powell, Nicholas
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: The rise of antibiotic resistant pathogens emphasises the need to develop new antimicrobials to treat bacterial infections. Silver nanoparticles are a new antimicrobial which harness the intrinsic toxicity of silver and make it more effective as an antimicrobial agent. Silver nanoparticles pollution is increasing because nanosilver is commonly added to many consumer goods. Pollution will generate sub-inhibitory concentrations in some environmental compartments which may facilitate the appearance and spread of resistance to silver, through mutation, recombination and lateral gene transfer events. The frequency of each of these events is increased by the SOS response. Therefore, if silver nanoparticles induce the SOS response, widespread resistance to silver nanoparticles becomes likely. If resistance becomes widespread, we will have compromised an antimicrobial that could prove useful in a post-antibiotic era. In this series of experiments, I aimed to induce the SOS response in Escherichia coli and Acinetobacter baumannii by exposing each species to sub-inhibitory concentrations of silver nanoparticles over a prolonged period. There was no evidence that the SOS response was induced, but the assay did not seem to work, as ciprofloxacin, a known inducer of the SOS response, also induced no change. However, several lines exhibited silver resistance. This resistance cannot be due to acquisition of known resistance mechanisms, such as the sil operon, since there was no opportunity for lateral gene transfer during these experiments. Consequently, it seems likely that mutations that confer resistance have occurred within some lineages. Identification of the loci involved will require genome sequencing of the resistant isolates.

Quantum error mitigation in the regime of high noise using deep neural network: Trotterized dynamics

description: We address a learning-based quantum error mitigation method, which utilizes deep neural network applied at the postprocessing stage, and study its performance in presence of different types of quantum noises. We concentrate on the simulation of Trotterized dynamics of 2D spin lattice in the regime of high noise, when expectation values of bounded traceless observables are strongly suppressed. By using numerical simulations, we demonstrate a dramatic improvement of data quality for both local weight-1 and weight-2 observables for the depolarizing and inhomogeneous Pauli channels. At the same time, the effect of coherent $ZZ$ crosstalks is not mitigated, so that in practise crosstalks should be at first converted into incoherent errors by randomized compiling.

description: We investigate the effect of a degenerate optical parametric amplifier (OPA) placed inside an optomechanical cavity on the steady-state entanglement of two cavity modes, which jointly interact with a mechanical resonator. Two cavity modes are respectively driven at the red and blue sideband associated with the mechanical resonator, which generates entanglement between them in the limit of resolved sideband. The OPA gives rise to single-mode squeezing of the cavity fields, which results in significant improvement of the two-mode entanglement. It is found that an optimal nonlinear gain of the OPA exists, depending on the system temperatures, which yields the maximum entanglement. The improvement is particularly remarkable for the system at cryogenic temperatures.

Effects of sympathetic nerve activity on the stiffness of conduit arteries
Creators: name: Lindesay, George
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Sympathetic nerve activity (SNA) regulates blood pressure by controlling vascular smooth muscle tone in peripheral arterioles. However, the function of SNA on vascular smooth muscle affecting the function of large conduit arteries is not as well established. It is hypothesized that SNA modulates smooth muscle tone, differentially loading the passive structural elements of the aortic wall, leading to changing arterial stiffness. This thesis presents a series of in-vivo experimental studies which aim to quantify the contribution of SNA on arterial stiffness. Techniques developed for quantification of arterial stiffness involved high fidelity measurements of diameter and pressure in the rat aorta. Sympathetic denervation was performed in different rodent strains (normotensive, WKY; hypertensive, SHR; hypertensive kidney disease and increased calcification, LPK) with varied baseline SNA to ascertain the effects of both chronic and acute changes in SNA. Denervation was achieved by unilateral splanchnicectomy or ganglionic blockade with hexamethonium. Aortic stiffness measurements (pulse wave velocity, compliance, distensibility) were performed across a range of mean arterial pressures to characterise the pressure dependent effect of SNA on stiffness of the abdominal aorta. Phase relationships between pressure and diameter enabled characterisation of neurogenic effects on wall viscoelasticity. Findings showed that: (i) unilateral physical denervation is insufficient to produce a change in stiffness of the abdominal aorta; (ii) sympathetic denervation by ganglionic blockade produces a maximal decrease in aortic stiffness at resting blood pressure in WKY rats; (iii) chronic exposure to high blood pressure induces vascular remodelling which alters aortic diameter, reducing the effect of SNA in SHR; (iv) modulation of cardiac function due to SNA can significantly affect arterial viscoelasticity by altering the dynamic loading characteristics of the wall of conduit arteries; this effect is more pronounced in LPK rats; (v) pressure-distension profile in the rat aorta is distinctly different to that in human arteries due to the large difference in heart rate. These findings demonstrate that the effect of SNA on arterial stiffness is mediated by direct neurogenic effect on arterial smooth muscle tone and by effects on cardiac contraction affecting the dynamic loading of conduit arteries.

description: The late 1990s and early 2000s were exciting times for executive coaching, a field of practice full of promise but lacking disciplinary boundaries. An emerging research focus is developing theories to support the practice and unify its diverse elements, by working towards shared agreement across different practices. But both research and practice share the problem of a plurality of approaches that are not necessarily commensurable. Aligning the different approaches to both coaching and research about coaching, so as to establish a shared understanding, remains an ongoing challenge. Theorising about coaching falls into two camps: evidence-based and reflective practice-based. Evidence-based approaches tend to be based on the principles of science. In contrast, reflective practitioner-based approaches tend to believe that theories are generated through reflection in the context of experience. Coaching can develop as a field only if research and practice are aligned and if these two contrasting theoretical approaches have a relationship to each other. To investigate this potential relationship, this study returned to the historical origins of evidence-based coaching, exploring how the focus in medical, nursing and psychological research has shifted from evidence-based research (EBR) to practice-based evidence (PBE). Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) was then used to undertake an empirical investigation of this transition. The aim is not to argue for or against any one approach but to determine the feasibility of establishing a shared understanding that could accommodate a range of approaches to theorising about coaching. The thesis contributes towards a framework for shared understanding, which is essential for the development of executive coaching as a discipline.

description: Defects on surfaces of semiconductors have a strong effect on their reactivity and catalytic properties. The concentration of different charge states of defects is determined by their formation energies. First-principles calculations are an important tool for computing defect formation energies and for studying the microscopic environment of the defect. The main problem associated with the widely used supercell method in these calculations is the error in the electrostatic energy, which is especially pronounced in calculations that involve surface slabs and 2D materials. We present an internally consistent approach for calculating defect formation energies in inhomogeneous and anisotropic dielectric environments, and demonstrate its applicability to the cases of the positively charged Cl vacancy on the NaCl (100) surface and the negatively charged S vacancy in monolayer MoS2.

description: The coadjoint representation of a connected algebraic group $Q$ with Lie algebra $\mathfrak q$ is a thrilling and fascinating object. Symmetric invariants of $\mathfrak q$ (= $\mathfrak q$-invariants in the symmetric algebra $S(\mathfrak q)$) can be considered as a first approximation to the understanding of the coadjoint action $(Q:\mathfrak q^*)$ and coadjoint orbits. In this article, we study a class of non-reductive Lie algebras, where the description of the symmetric invariants is possible and the coadjoint representation has a number of nice invariant-theoretic properties. If $G$ is a semisimple group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$ and $V$ is $G$-module, then we define $\mathfrak q$ to be the semi-direct product of $\mathfrak g$ and $V$. Then we are interested in the case, where the generic isotropy group for the $G$-action on $V$ is reductive and commutative. It turns out that in this case symmetric invariants of $\mathfrak q$ can be constructed via certain $G$-equivariant maps from $\mathfrak g$ to $V$ ("covariants").

Disorder effects in spiral spin liquids: Long-range spin textures, Friedel-like oscillations, and spiral spin glasses

description: Spiral spin liquids are correlated states of matter in which a frustrated magnetic system evades order by fluctuating between a set of (nearly) degenerate spin spirals. Here, we investigate the response of spiral spin liquids to quenched disorder in a $J_1$-$J_2$ honeycomb-lattice Heisenberg model. At the single-impurity level, we identify different order-by-quenched-disorder phenomena and analyze the ensuing spin textures. In particular, we show that the latter generally display Friedel-like oscillations, which encode direct information about the spiral contour, i.e., the classical ground-state manifold. At finite defect concentrations, we perform extensive numerical simulations and characterize the resulting phases at zero temperature. As a result, we find that the competition between incompatible order-by-quenched-disorder mechanisms can lead to spiral spin glass states already at low to moderate disorder. Finally, we discuss extensions of our conclusions to nonzero temperatures and higher-dimensional systems, as well as their applications to experiments.

description: Realistic fluid-solid interaction potentials are essential in description of confined fluids especially in the case of geometric heterogeneous surfaces. Correlated random field is considered as a model of random surface with high geometric roughness. We provide the general theory of effective coarse-grained fluid-solid potential by proper averaging of the free energy of fluid molecules which interact with the solid media. This procedure is largely based on the theory of random processes. We apply first passage time probability problem and assume the local Markov properties of random surfaces. General expression of effective fluid-solid potential is obtained. In the case of small surface irregularities analytical approximation for effective potential is proposed. Both amorphous materials with large surface roughness and crystalline solids with several types of fcc lattices are considered. It is shown that the wider the lattice spacing in terms of molecular diameter of the fluid, the more obtained potentials differ from classical ones. A comparison with published Monte-Carlo simulations shows good qualitative agreement with the theory predictions. The work provides a promising approach to explore how the random geometric heterogeneity affects on thermodynamic properties of the fluids.

description: Motivated by the spin-2 nature of gravity, we consider a theory of N interacting spin-2 fields, formulated in terms of vielbeins which have been argued to be free of the Boulware-Deser ghost. This is the only known such theory with nontrivial multi-field interactions. We develop an all-order expansion of the vielbein in terms of the metric and Lorentz field perturbations, enabling an expansion of the action in arbitrary backgrounds to any order. The mass matrix is then analysed around proportional vielbein solutions corresponding to vacuum Einstein spacetimes. It is shown that the theory exhibits a non-tachyonic spectrum with one massless and N-1 massive spin-2 modes, regardless of the sign of the cosmological constant. While the massless mode is universal, the non-zero masses cannot generally be determined analytically, but we obtain the lower and upper bounds on each mass eigenvalue in terms of the parameters of the theory.
