description: Mental health in the Tibetan refugee community has been studied extensively; but like most research on political violence, these studies focus almost exclusively on trauma. We know little about those who manage to thrive and what kinds of sociocultural practices enhance their resilience. This dissertation, "Spacious Minds, Empty Selves: Coping and Resilience in the Tibetan Exile Community" investigates how Buddhism and other sociocultural factors support coping and resilience among Tibetan refugees living in Dharamsala, India. In contrast to other work that focuses exclusively on trauma, the aim of this project was to examine the broad range of reactions to political violence, exploring how people thrive in the face of adversity. Drawing on 14 months of extended participant observation and 80 in-depth interviews conducted in the Tibetan language, this project investigates how communities through social processes cope in the context of political violence and resettlement. The study draws upon and aims to extend theory in three distinct but overlapping areas: 1) trauma and resilience; 2) the anthropology of memory and temporality; and 3) the transferability of interventions across cultures. The dissertation argues that the Tibetan concept of resilience is more an active process than a personality attribute. Seeing emotions as impermanent and changing, Tibetans living in exile are reticent to dwell on distress, which seems only to stagnate or prolong suffering. Rather than processing the details of traumatic events, members of this community attempt to transform distress through cultural practices that emphasize compassion and impermanence. Many forms of coping in Dharamsala work to create a greater sense of spaciousness, openness and flexibility within the mind--qualities associated with resilience and wellbeing. In practicing flexibility, the durability of negative emotions is diminished, such that the encoding of trauma is derailed and disrupted. The contribution I make involves using a "resilience imaginary" as a fruitful site for pushing the boundaries of how we understand human freedom and agency.

description: The foreign born population US continues to grow at a rapid pace and new foreign born populations are quickly emerging and The fastest growing foreign born population in the US is the African community. The number of African persons that have received LPR status has increased by 148% from 2004 to 2013 and all of the West African countries together are equal to the sixth largest population receiving LPR status. The Asian population is the second fastest growing population and second largest foreign born group receiving LPR status, has experienced an increase of persons obtaining LPR status by 117% from 2004 to 2014. For many native and permanent residents finding suitable and affordable housing in the US can be difficult which may lead people to settle into communities that are more familiar with residents of similar culture and language. This thesis explores the spatial integration and housing experiences of West African and Chinese foreign born populations in New York City and Los Angeles. Spatial integration is measured using three segregation indices: segregation index, isolation index, and exposure index. OLS regression locational attainment models using public use microdata  area level data was used to determine where a person may live. Individuals interviews were conducted to understand housing experiences of individuals and to uncover experiences that may not have been represented in the data.

description: Let N_q(g) denote the maximal number of F_q-rational points on any curve of genus g over the finite field F_q. Ihara (for square q) and Serre (for general q) proved that limsup_{g-->infinity} N_q(g)/g > 0 for any fixed q. In their proofs they constructed curves with many points in infinitely many genera; however, their sequences of genera are somewhat sparse. In this paper, we prove that lim_{g-->infinity} N_q(g) = infinity. More precisely, we use abelian covers of P^1 to prove that liminf_{g-->infinity} N_q(g)/(g/log g) > 0, and we use curves on toric surfaces to prove that liminf_{g-->infty} N_q(g)/g^{1/3} > 0; we also show that these results are the best possible that can be proved with these families of curves.

description: Long-distance quantum key distribution (QKD) has long time seriously relied on trusted relay or quantum repeater, which either has security threat or is far from practical implementation. Recently, a solution called twin-field (TF) QKD and its variants have been proposed to overcome this challenge. However, most security proofs are complicated, a majority of which could only ensure security against collective attacks. Until now, the full and simple security proof can only be provided with asymptotic resource assumption. Here, we provide a composable finite-key analysis for coherent-state-based TF-QKD with rigorous security proof against general attacks. Furthermore, we develop the optimal statistical fluctuation analysis method to significantly improve secret key rate in high-loss regime. The results show that coherent-state-based TF-QKD is practical and feasible, with the potential to apply over nearly one thousand kilometers.

A comparison of different laboratory techniques to simulate stress and moisture history of hard rock mine tailings
Creators: name: Daliri, Farzad

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: In thickened tailings technology, tailings are deposited at solids concentrations sufficient to prevent segregation and allow for formation of gently sloped stacks. Post-deposition, thickened tailings are known to gain strength through a combination of hindered settling, desiccation, and consolidation. Recently, it is understood that the shear strength and geotechnical stability of the stack is dependent on the degree of desiccation or drying time for a given layer, as well as consolidation history during subsequent deposition. This paper presents some preliminary investigations into how best to reproduce this stress history for element testing. Three laboratory methods for simulating stress history of thickened tailings layers are introduced for preparing samples for testing in an NGI type simple shear apparatus. In the first method, tailings are reconstituted in the simple shear mold, desiccated to different degrees, and re-wetted before shearing. The second method consists of simulating the thickened tailings deposition in a column, followed by sample extraction using a shearing thin-wall sampler. In the third method, a flume is employed to simulate the movement of thickened tailings layers from the deposition point down the beach. The third method is intended to assess whether the movement of tailings down the beach constitutes an important part of stress history, and influences the evolution of the fabric. This paper recommends the most appropriate method for preparing samples to assess the geotechnical behaviour of thickened tailings. It is concluded that desiccation to the shrinkage limit could significantly increase the monotonic shear strength of hard rock mine tailings; however, with continuing desiccation beyond the shrinkage limit, additional monotonic strength gain is minimal.

description: A simulation model for the dynamic behaviour of pedestrian crowds is mathematically formulated in terms of a social force model, that means, pedestrians behave in a way as if they would be subject to an acceleration force and to repulsive forces describing the reaction to borders and other pedestrians. The computational simulations presented yield many realistic results that can be compared with video films of pedestrian crowds. Especially, they show the self-organization of collective behavioural patterns. By assuming that pedestrians tend to choose routes that are frequently taken the above model can be extended to an active walker model of trail formation. The topological structure of the evolving trail network will depend on the disadvantage of building new trails and the durability of existing trails. Computer simulations of trail formation indicate to be a valuable tool for designing systems of ways which satisfy the needs of pedestrians best. An example is given for a non-directed trail network.

Sparse functional regression models: minimax rates and contamination
Creators: Xiong, Wei
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2012
Subjects: Biometry

description: In functional linear regression and functional generalized linear regression models, the effect of the predictor function is usually assumed to be spread across the index space. In this dissertation we consider the sparse functional linear model and the sparse functional generalized linear models (GLM), where the impact of the predictor process on the response is only via its value at one point in the index space, defined as the sensitive point. We are particularly interested in estimating the sensitive point. The minimax rate of convergence for estimating the parameters in sparse functional linear regression is derived. It is shown that the optimal rate for estimating the sensitive point depends on the roughness of the predictor function, which is quantified by a "generalized Hurst exponent". The least squares estimator (LSE) is shown to attain the optimal rate. Also, a lower bound is given on the minimax risk of estimating the parameters in sparse functional GLM, which also depends on the generalized Hurst exponent of the predictor process. The order of the minimax lower bound is the same as that of the weak convergence rate of the maximum likelihood estimator (MLE), given that the functional predictor behaves like a Brownian motion.
Sparse selection in Cox models with functional predictors

description: This thesis investigates sparse selection in the Cox regression models with functional predictors. Interest in sparse selection with functional predictors (Lindquist and McKeague, 2009; McKeague and Sen, 2010)  can arise in biomedical studies. A functional predictor is a predictor with a trajectory which is usually indexed by time, location or other factors. When the trajectory of a covariate is observed for each subject, and we need to identify a common "sensitive" point of these trajectories which drives outcome, the problem can be formulated as sparse selection with functional predictors. For example, we may locate a gene that is associated to cancer risk along a chromosome. The functional linear regression method is widely used for the analysis of functional covariates. However, it could lack interpretability. The method we develop in this thesis has straightforward interpretation since it relates the hazard to some sensitive components of functional covariates. The Cox regression model has been extensively studied in the analysis of time-to-event data. In this thesis, we extend it to allow for sparse selection with functional predictors. Using the partial likelihood as the criterion function, and following the 3-step procedure for M-estimators established in van der Vaart and Wellner (1996), the consistency, rate of convergence and asymptotic distribution are obtained for M-estimators of the sensitive point and the regression coefficients.  In this thesis, to study these large sample properties of the estimators, the fractional Brownian motion assumption is posed for the trajectories for mathematical tractability. Simulations are conducted to evaluate the finite sample performance of the methods, and a way to construct the confidence interval for the location parameter, i.e., the sensitive point, is proposed. The proposed method is applied to an adult brain cancer study and a breast cancer study to find the sensitive point, here the locus of a chromosome, which is closely related to cancer mortality. Since the breast cancer data set has missing values, we investigate the impact of varying proportions of missingness in the data on the accuracy of our estimator as well.

description: Bosonization in curved spacetime maps massive Thirring model (self-interacting Dirac fermions) to a generalized sine-Gordon model, both living in $1+1$-dimensional curved spacetime. Applying this duality we have shown that the Thirring model fermion, in non-relativistic limit, gets identified with the soliton of non-linear Scrodinger model with Kerr form of non-linearity. We discuss one particular optical soliton in the latter model and relate it with the Thirring model fermion.

description: A mathematical model for behavioral changes by pair interactions (i.e. due to direct contact) of individuals is developed. Three kinds of pair interactions can be distinguished: Imitative processes, avoidance processes, and compromising processes. Representative solutions of the model for two different interacting subpopulations are illustrated by computational results. The equations of game theory are shown to result for a special case of imitative processes. Moreover, a stochastic version of game theory is formulated. It allows the derivation of equations for the most probable or the expected distribution of behavioral strategies and of (co)variance equations. The knowledge of the (co)variances is necessary for the calculation of the reliability of game theoretical descriptions. The use and application of the introduced equations is illustrated by concrete examples. Especially, computational results for the selforganization of social conventions by competition of two equivalent strategies are presented.

description: New York City continues to face an unprecedented affordable housing crisis in the recent years as a result of contextual, ideological, and economic variables which have long influenced its development and expansion over the years. In this study, focus is placed on the contextual background of housing policies which subsequently paved the way for the urban affordable landscape we have today. Three neighborhoods are picked to perform closer case study analysis, those of Bensonhurst, Borough Park, and Brownsville. From there, three variables were analyzed, that of the share of subsidized housing towards the total housing stock per census tract, comparisons between median household income per neighborhood versus Area Median Income (AMI) classifications, and ultimately the direction of development patterns under the Housing New York plan of the de Blasio administration. The analysis on all three levels shows a lack of correspondence between the development of affordable housing units versus the actual geographic need for development and expansion. There is a critical need for the balancing of affordable housing development, and its equitable establishment across different neighborhoods over time. No specific directional policy is put in place, although guidelines of reasoning have been established to raise critical questions around the efficacy and applicability of the research.

description: Tree invasions can negatively affect ecosystems by altering environmental conditions and displacing native species. Trees provide structure and habitat for forest ecosystems and so exotic tree invasions can have particularly dramatic effects on communities. The negative results of these invasions include alteration of successional dynamics reduced diversity and relative abundance of native species, disruption of important ecosystem functions and high public costs to manage invasive species. Competition, dispersal and environmental heterogeneity can have significant effects on spatial patterns of plants. Plant interactions with their immediate neighbors are most significant, and so the spatial distribution of neighbors can influence the extent of interactions in a system, which will influence the future composition of the system. The Everglades in South Florida has sensitive tree islands whose successful restoration depends on native plant recruitment. There is currently severe invasion in the Everglades by Schinus terebinthifolius. The native shrub Ilex cassine occupies a similar niche and has been identified as an important recruit for tree island restoration and has also been found to establish populations within Schinus thickets. This study examines how the two are spatially distributed in sites where they coexist. Few Ilex individuals were found at the study site and there is no significant spatial autocorrelation in either species. Further analysis will lead to a discussion of what this indicates about the present and future state of Schinus invasion. It is important to halt the spread of this invasive due to its level of disruption in the already disturbed Everglades.

description: We report the results of a study of two-body B meson decays to the complete set of K pi, pi pi, and K K final states. The study is performed on a data sample of 31.7 +/- 0.3 million B B-bar events recorded on the Upsilon(4S) resonance by the Belle experiment at KEKB. We observe significant signals in all K pi final states and in the pi+ pi- and pi+ pi0 final states. We set limits on the pi0 pi0 and K K final states. A search is performed for partial-rate asymmetries between conjugate states for flavor-specific final states.

description: In this paper we consider Idempotent Functional Analysis, an `abstract' version of Idempotent Analysis developed by V. P. Maslov and his collaborators. We give a review of the basic ideas of Idempotent Analysis. The correspondence between concepts and theorems of the traditional Functional Analysis and its idempotent version is discussed; this correspondence is similar to N. Bohr's correspondence principle in quantum theory. We present an algebraical approach to Idempotent Functional Analysis. Basic notions and results are formulated in algebraical terms; the essential point is that the operation of idempotent addition can be defined for arbitrary infinite sets of summands. We study idempotent analogs of the main theorems of linear functional analysis and results concerning the general form of a linear functional and scalar products in idempotent spaces.

description: We develop a general scheme for the use of Fermi operators within the framework of integrable systems. This enables us to read off a fermionic Hamiltonian from a given solution of the Yang-Baxter equation and to express the corresponding $L$-matrix and the generators of symmetries in terms of Fermi operators. We illustrate our approach through a number of examples. Our main example is the algebraic Bethe ansatz solution of the Hubbard model in the infinite coupling limit.

Particle pinning suppresses spinodal criticality in the shear banding instability

description: Strained amorphous solids often fail mechanically by creating a shear-band. It had been understood that the shear banding instability is usefully described as crossing a spinodal point (with disorder) in an appropriate thermodynamic description. It remained contested however whether the spinodal is critical (with divergent correlation length) or not. Here we offer evidence for critical spinodal by using particle pinning. For a finite concentration of pinned particles the correlation length is bounded by the average distance between pinned particles, but without pinning it is bounded by the system size.

Open-Set Recognition Using Intra-Class Splitting

description: This paper proposes a method to use deep neural networks as end-to-end open-set classifiers. It is based on intra-class data splitting. In open-set recognition, only samples from a limited number of known classes are available for training. During inference, an open-set classifier must reject samples from unknown classes while correctly classifying samples from known classes. The proposed method splits given data into typical and atypical normal subsets by using a closed-set classifier. This enables to model the abnormal classes by atypical normal samples. Accordingly, the open-set recognition problem is reformulated into a traditional classification problem. In addition, a closed-set regularization is proposed to guarantee a high closed-set classification performance. Intensive experiments on five well-known image datasets showed the effectiveness of the proposed method which outperformed the baselines and achieved a distinct improvement over the state-of-the-art methods.

Perturbations in the Kerr-Newman Dilatonic Black Hole Background: I. Maxwell waves

description: In this paper we analyze the perturbations of the Kerr-Newman dilatonic black hole background. For this purpose we perform a double expansion in both the background electric charge and the wave parameters of the relevant quantities in the Newman-Penrose formalism. We then display the gravitational, dilatonic and electromagnetic equations, which reproduce the static solution (at zero order in the wave parameter) and the corresponding wave equations in the Kerr background (at first order in the wave parameter and zero order in the electric charge). At higher orders in the electric charge one encounters corrections to the propagations of waves induced by the presence of a non-vanishing dilaton. An explicit computation is carried out for the electromagnetic waves up to the asymptotic form of the Maxwell field perturbations produced by the interaction with dilatonic waves. A simple physical model is proposed which could make these perturbations relevant to the detection of radiation coming from the region of space near a black hole.

description: Gold Fields La Cima (GFLC) owns the Cerro Corona gold and copper mine in the Cajamarca district of Peru, which has gold-equivalent Mineral Reserves of 5.5 million ounces and has been in production since 2008. It produces about 400,000 gold-equivalent ounces a year. MWH Global has been providing design and construction support services to GFLC since 2006. The Tailing Storage Facility (TSF) includes a rockfill centerline constructed dam with a low permeability core zone. The dam is currently at a height of approximately 100 meters and has a planned ultimate height of 160 meters. The mine is located in a seismically active zone within Peru that has a history of significant earthquake events. In the design of the dam, special consideration was given to maintaining the integrity of the core zone during operations and under earthquake loading. This paper presents a summary of the facility design and the approach adopted for the limit equilibrium slope stability analyses that were performed to evaluate both upstream and downstream failure modes. The results of field investigations of the tailing beach materials and the properties adopted to characterize the tailing materials are also included. In addition to design considerations, the paper discusses the construction and operation of the facility and presents the results of field monitoring of the facility to date.[All papers were considered for technical and language appropriateness by the organizing committee.]
Minimax Entropy and Maximum Likelihood. Complementarity of tasks, identity of solutions

description: Concept of exponential family is generalized by simple and general exponential form. Simple and general potential are introduced. Maximum Entropy and Maximum Likelihood tasks are defined. ML task on the simple exponential form and ME task on the simple potentials are proved to be complementary in set-up and identical in solutions. ML task on the general exponential form and ME task on the general potentials are weakly complementary, leading to the same necessary conditions. A hypothesis about complementarity of ML and MiniMax Entropy tasks and identity of their solutions, brought up by a special case analytical as well as several numerical investigations, is suggested in this case. MiniMax Ent can be viewed as a generalization of MaxEnt for parametric linear inverse problems, and its complementarity with ML as yet another argument in favor of Shannon's entropy criterion.

description: With no New Physics seen at the LHC, a second Higgs doublet remains attractive and plausible. The ratio ${\cal R}_B^{μ/τ} = {\cal B}(B \to μ\barν)/{\cal B}(B \to τ\barν)$ is predicted at 0.0045 in both the Standard Model and the type II two Higgs doublet model, but it can differ if extra Yukawa couplings exist in Nature, which we deem an experimental issue. Considering recent Belle update on $B \to μ\barν$, we show that in the general two Higgs doublet model, the ratio could be up by a factor of two, which can be probed by the Belle~II experiment with just a few ab$^{-1}$.

description: In this paper we prove Garvan's conjectured formula for the square of the modular discriminant $Δ$ as a 3 by 3 Hankel determinant of classical Eisenstein series $E_{2n}$. We then obtain similar formulas involving minors of Hankel determinants for $E_{2r}Δ^m$, for $m=1,2,3$ and $r=2,3,4,5,7$, and $E_{14}Δ^4$. We next use Mathematica to discover, and then the standard structure theory of the ring of modular forms, to derive the general form of our infinite family of formulas extending the classical formula for $Δ$ and Garvan's formula for $Δ^2$. This general formula expresses the $n\times n$ Hankel determinant $\det(E_{2(i+j)}(q))_{1\leq i,j\leq n}$ as the product of $Δ^{n-1}(τ)$, a homogeneous polynomial in $E_4^3$ and $E_6^2$, and if needed, $E_4$. We also include a simple verification proof of the classical 2 by 2 Hankel determinant formula for $Δ$. This proof depends upon polynomial properties of elliptic function parameters from Jacobi's Fundamenta Nova. The modular forms approach provides a convenient explanation for the determinant identities in this paper.
