description: We develop an algorithm to detect community structure in complex networks. The algorithm is based on spectral methods and takes into account weights and links orientations. Since the method detects efficiently clustered nodes in large networks even when these are not sharply partitioned, it turns to be specially suitable to the analysis of social and information networks. We test the algorithm on a large-scale data-set from a psychological experiment of word association. In this case, it proves to be successful both in clustering words and in uncovering mental association patterns.

description: The language of words is the most commonly used tool in person to person communication and this in turn, profoundly reflects and creates an individual’s belief systems and behaviours. In the arena of sustainable production systems for food and fibre and the ‘management’ of natural resources, there is a plethora of information provided by organisations dedicated to researching and communicating new land use methods for farmers to implement. However to date, the uptake of new methods has been frustratingly low resulting in the on-going degradation of Australia’s fragile landscapes while exploitative farming practices continue. A key issue is whether the language of current policies is appropriate to influence the belief systems of decision makers in exploitative agriculture in order to achieve a shift towards more sustainable and regenerative outcomes. Research is currently in the early stages to distinguish the different ‘languages’ present in Australian culture, especially in agri-culture. Initial evaluation reveals that the hegemonic language is economic rationalism (hereon known as ‘eco-rat’) emanating from neo-liberal economic policies. ‘Eco-rat’ is characterised by espoused masculinity, viz. competitiveness, control, reductionism, power and domination and is counter-productive to sustainable production practices. Conversely, the language of sustainability and regeneration is feminine - nurturing, holistic, supportive and nature-cyclical. An integral component of this research is to identify specific paradigms in Australia that characterise exploitative (industrialised) farmers and paradigms that characterise regenerative / conservation landholders. A key characteristic of such paradigms is the level and extent of each person’s vocabulary, building on Wittgenstein’s notion that 'the limits of my language are the limits of my mind'. Are there differences between the vocabularies of landholders engaged in regenerative farming compared to those who use more industrialised methods of production? For example when contemporary advertisements for high input agriculture are analysed, farming is commonly portrayed as a competitive ‘battle’. In polemic essay style, this paper explores and characterises the underlying belief systems and vocabularies that perpetuate the paradigms of ‘stubble-burners’ in broadacre cropping enterprises, and compares these to those of regenerative farmers – with the implication that these distinct paradigms can influence the development of very different land use practices.

The multiple rogue wave solutions of a generalized (2+1)-dimensional Boussinesq equation are obtained by using the modified symbolic computation approach. Dynamics features of these obtained multiple rogue wave solutions are displayed in 3D and contour plots. Compared with the original symbolic computation approach, our method does not need to find Hirota bilinear form of nonlinear system.

description: This summary and analysis of 407 New York dairy farm businesses demonstrates the use of cash and accrual accounting to measure farm profitability, cash flow, financial performance, and costs of producing milk. Traditional methods of analyzing dairy farm businesses are combined with improved evaluation techniques to show the relationship between good management performance and financial success. These farms averaged III cows per farm and 18,027 pounds of milk sold per cow in 1991, which are above the average size and management level of all New York dairy farms. Net farm income excluding appreciation, which is the return to the operator's labor, management, capital, and other unpaid family labor, averaged $26,391 per farm. The rate of return including appreciation to all capital invested in the farm business averaged 3.8 percent in 1991.

description: We study four-point correlation functions of half-BPS operators of arbitrary weight for all dimensions d=3,4,5,6 where superconformal theories exist. Using harmonic superspace techniques, we derive the superconformal Ward identities for these correlators and present them in a universal form. We then solve these identities, employing Jack polynomial expansions. We show that the general solution is parameterized by a set of arbitrary two-variable functions, with the exception of the case d=4, where in addition functions of a single variable appear. We also discuss the operator product expansion using recent results on conformal partial wave amplitudes in arbitrary dimension.

Dynamic Mode Decomposition for Point Cloud Registration
Creators: name: Biagosch, Carl
Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2021

description: This master thesis proposes a new dynamic method for the point cloud registration problem to recover the transformation between the reference frames of two stereo cameras. Decomposing a sequence of depthmaps from both views into foreground and background using the DMD algorithm, both components solve a joint optimization problem to compute the optimal transformation from one view into the other. It is investigated to extend the DMD separation with dictionary learning, where the decomposition is performed in a set of more natural subspaces learned from the data. For the separated point clouds, an extension to the well-known ICP algorithm is proposed introducing an average consensus step to compute a joint estimate minimizing the error of the registration of background and foreground. The proposed method shows superior performance to standard static registration methods on noisy datasets featuring a sparse foreground and can accurately recover the rotation, translation and scaling between two views of the same moving scene.
Potential energy landscape-based extended van der Waals equation

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: The inherent structures ({\it IS}) are the local minima of the potential energy surface or landscape, $U({\bf r})$, of an {\it N} atom system. Stillinger has given an exact {\it IS} formulation of thermodynamics. Here the implications for the equation of state are investigated. It is shown that the van der Waals ({\it vdW}) equation, with density-dependent $a$ and $b$ coefficients, holds on the high-temperature plateau of the averaged {\it IS} energy. However, an additional ``landscape'' contribution to the pressure is found at lower $T$. The resulting extended {\it vdW} equation, unlike the original, is capable of yielding a water-like density anomaly, flat isotherms in the coexistence region {\it vs} {\it vdW} loops, and several other desirable features. The plateau energy, the width of the distribution of {\it IS}, and the ``top of the landscape'' temperature are simulated over a broad reduced density range, $2.0 \ge ρ\ge 0.20$, in the Lennard-Jones fluid. Fits to the data yield an explicit equation of state, which is argued to be useful at high density; it nevertheless reproduces the known values of $a$ and $b$ at the critical point.

description: The annual economic loss of agricultural production caused by weeds in Australia has been estimated to exceed $3.3 billion. This loss now approximates the average annual net value of Australian farm production. In an attempt to address this problem, the Cooperative Research Centre for Weed Management Systems (CRCWMS) was established in 1995 under the federal government's cooperative research centre program. To achieve its goal of reducing the annual costs of weeds to Australia by at least 10% by the year 2000, the CRCWMS must demonstrate that its research will benefit both the farming sector and the overall community. This paper describes the development of an integrated economic system for evaluating these benefits and its application in evaluating the benefits of controlling a major weed of Australian grazing systems in the Murrumbidgee Irrigation Area.

description: Spatial variation in the superconducting order parameter becomes significant when the system is confined at dimensions well below the typical superconducting coherence length. Motivated by recent experimental success in growing single-crystal metallic nanorods, we study quantum confinement effects on superconductivity in a cylindrical nanowire in the clean limit. For large diameters, where the transverse level spacing is smaller than superconducting order parameter, the usual approximations of Ginzburg-Landau theory are recovered. However, under external magnetic field the order parameter develops a spatial variation much stronger than that predicted by Ginzburg-Landau theory, and gapless superconductivity is obtained above a certain field strength. At small diameters, the discrete nature of the transverse modes produces significant spatial variations in the order parameter with increased average magnitude and multiple shoulders in the magnetic response.

description: Harvest efficiency in the production functions of fisheries should increase over time with the introduction of new technology and with increasing knowledge of the biology and behaviour of the target species. This implies that the estimated catchability coefficients of Gordon-Schaefer or Fox models should also increase over time. We estimated both models using annual catch and effort data for four lobster fisheries and compared the regression results for different time periods. We also estimated modified forms of the models with a time trend in the harvest equation. Both approaches show that the estimates of the catchability coefficients have decreased significantly over time in all four fisheries. We suggest that one important source of this anomaly is the use of annual aggregate catch and effort data. To test this hypothesis, we examined trends in the distribution of effort over the season, and their effect on annual catch per unit effort. The results show that methods based on aggregate annual catch and effort data can introduce spurious trends in annual catch per unit effort, and hence in catchability estimates. Estimation of production functions for bioeconomic modelling should use catch and effort data that is disaggregated both temporally and spatially.

description: The brain of the domestic pig (Sus scrofa domesticus) has drawn considerable attention due to its high similarities to that of humans. However, the cellular compositions of the pig brain (PB) remain elusive. Here we investigated the single-nucleus transcriptomic profiles of five regions of the pig brain (frontal lobe, parietal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe, and hypothalamus) and identified 21 cell subpopulations. The cross-species comparison of mouse and pig hypothalamus revealed the shared and specific gene expression patterns at the single-cell resolution. Furthermore, we identified cell types and molecular pathways closely associated with neurological disorders, bridging the gap between gene mutations and pathogenesis. We reported, to our knowledge, the first single-cell atlas of domestic pig cerebral cortex and hypothalamus combined with a comprehensive analysis across species, providing extensive resources for future research regarding neural science, evolutionary developmental biology, and regenerative medicine.
Conservatism and Scalability for Distributed Controller Synthesis of Interconnected Systems
Creators: name: De Pasquale, Giulia
Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2019

description: This Master project concerns the problem of distributed controller synthesis for a special class of interconnected systems known as "decomposable systems" in a large-scale setting. Due to computational limitations, scalability constitutes one of the major concerns of the controller synthesis of such large-scale systems. One possibility to deal with this limitation is to decompose the synthesis conditions by enforcing some structure on the Lyapunov and multiplier matrices. However, this approach in general introduces conservatism. The aim of this project is to analyze the conservatism introduced by imposing specific structures on the matrices involved and then to reduce the conservatism as much as possible by imposing less structure, however still achieving some degree of decomposition. The strongest limitation in terms of performance, in the state of the art of the controller synthesis for this kind of systems, comes from the structure imposed on the Lyapunov matrix that is needed both for the decomposition and for the achievement of the desired distributed controller structure. During this project a new method, based on the full-block S-Procedure and on the extended formulation of the Bounded Real Lemma has been designed. The extended synthesis LMIs are less conservative compared to the previous formulations thanks to the fact that the optimization variables related to the controller parameters are independent of the Lyapunov matrix.

Rotating Circular Strings, and Infinite Non-Uniqueness of Black Rings

description: We present new self-gravitating solutions in five dimensions that describe circular strings, i.e., rings, electrically coupled to a two-form potential (as e.g., fundamental strings do), or to a dual magnetic one-form. The rings are prevented from collapsing by rotation, and they create a field analogous to a dipole, with no net charge measured at infinity. They can have a regular horizon, and we show that this implies the existence of an infinite number of black rings, labeled by a continuous parameter, with the same mass and angular momentum as neutral black rings and black holes. We also discuss the solution for a rotating loop of fundamental string. We show how more general rings arise from intersections of branes with a regular horizon (even at extremality), closely related to the configurations that yield the four-dimensional black hole with four charges. We reproduce the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy of a large extremal ring through a microscopic calculation. Finally, we discuss some qualitative ideas for a microscopic understanding of neutral and dipole black rings.

description: The formation and growth of globular cluster systems (GCSs) is closely related to the evolutionary processes experienced by their host galaxies. In particular, their radial distributions scale with several properties of the galaxies and their halos. We performed a photometric study, by means of HST/ACS archival data of several intermediate luminosity galaxies located in low density environments. It was supplemented with available photometric data of GCSs from the Virgo and Fornax clusters, resulting in a sample of almost 30 GCSs for which we fitted their radial profiles. The resulting overall properties agree with those from previous studies, as we found that the effective radius, extension and concentration of the GCS radial profiles correlate with the stellar mass, effective radius and number of globular clusters, presenting in some cases a bilinear relation. The extension also correlates with the central velocity dispersion for central galaxies, but not for satellites. From a statistical comparison with numerical simulations we obtained good agreement between the effective radius and extension of the GCS scale with the effective and virial radius of the halos, respectively. Finally, we analysed these results in the literature context.

Modelling and Control of the Life Support System of a Lunar Habitat
Creators: name: Bösch, Andri
Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2020

description: With the announcement of NASA’s Artemis program [1] to establish a permanent human presence on the moon, the interest for a lunar base has returned. In this master’s thesis the thermal control system for a lunar base is considered. A model predictive control (MPC) scheme is developed to regulate the lunar habitat interior temperatures within time dependent bounds, while minimizing the used energy to do so. The models used in the MPC scheme such as thermal models for the lunar environment, the lunar base and its internal heat loads are produced. Due to the internal heat loads no heating of the lunar habitat is required, but the waste heat must be rejected. The lunar environment sets harsh conditions for waste dissipation, with equatorial surface temperatures reaching almost 400K. A cooling system that uses radiators to reject waste heat into space and a photovoltaic (PV) array as a power source is considered. Li-Ion batteries and regenerative fuel cells are investigated as energy storage systems to power the thermal control system of the base during the lunar night.

description: This work presents a spectroscopic study of 163 Herbig Ae/Be stars. Amongst these, we present new data for 30 objects. Stellar parameters such as temperature, reddening, mass, luminosity and age are homogeneously determined. Mass accretion rates are determined from $\rm Hα$ emission line measurements. Our data is complemented with the X-Shooter sample from previous studies and we update results using Gaia DR2 parallaxes giving a total of 78 objects with homogeneously determined stellar parameters and mass accretion rates. In addition, mass accretion rates of an additional 85 HAeBes are determined. We confirm previous findings that the mass accretion rate increases as a function of stellar mass, and the existence of a different slope for lower and higher mass stars respectively. The mass where the slope changes is determined to be $3.98^{+1.37}_{-0.94}\,\rm M_{\odot}$. We discuss this break in the context of different modes of disk accretion for low- and high mass stars. Because of their similarities with T Tauri stars, we identify the accretion mechanism for the late-type Herbig stars with the Magnetospheric Accretion. The possibilities for the earlier-type stars are still open, we suggest the Boundary Layer accretion model may be a viable alternative. Finally, we investigated the mass accretion - age relationship. Even using the superior Gaia based data, it proved hard to select a large enough sub-sample to remove the mass dependency in this relationship. Yet, it would appear that the mass accretion does decline with age as expected from basic theoretical considerations.

description: To investigate the global practice patterns for the management of exogenous endophthalmitis. This cross-sectional study was conducted to assess global practice patterns for the management of exogenous endophthalmitis. An online survey comprised of questions regarding the management of exogenous endophthalmitis was distributed to institutions who are members of International Globe and Adnexal Trauma Epidemiology Study Group (IGATES) or invited affiliates of the American Society of Ophthalmic Trauma and the Asia Pacific Ophthalmic Trauma Society. Responses were gathered from August 2020 to January 2021. Of 42 institutions, 36 responses were received (86% response rate), of which 33 (79%) were included in the analysis. Included centers were from Asia (36%), North America (36%), South America (12%), Africa (9%), Europe (3%), and Australia (3%). Oral antibiotics were administered in 19 (58%) institutions, with moxifloxacin as the preferred agent (n = 9, 27%). The preferred method for obtaining cultures was vitreous tap (n = 25, 76%). Most institutions (n = 26, 79%) routinely administered intravitreal vancomycin and ceftazidime, while intravitreal steroids were routinely administered at 11 centers (33%). Indications for performing vitrectomy included; decreased visual acuity (n = 14, 39%); all cases of exogenous endophthalmitis (n = 4, 12%); non-response to medical therapy (n = 4, 12%); or no view of the fundus (n = 4, 12%), indicating significant variation in surgical indications. More than half (n = 17, 52%) of responding institutions routinely admitted patients with exogenous endophthalmitis to the hospital. Institutions in the United States were less likely to administer oral antibiotics (27% vs. 73%, P = .024) and to admit patients (9% vs. 73%, P This study highlights the global variations in the management of exogenous endophthalmitis, especially as it pertains to surgical indications. Further establishment of evidence-based guidelines may be beneficial to provide more uniform guidance to optimize outcomes.
Monodisperse Dry Granular Flows on Inclined Planes : Role of Roughness

description: Recent studies have pointed out the importance of the basal friction on the dynamics of granular flows. We present experimental results on the influence of the roughness of the inclined plane on the dynamics of a monodisperse dry granular flow. We found experimentally that it exists a maximum of the friction for a given relative roughness. This maximum is shown to be independent of the angle of the slope. This behavior is observed for four planes with different bump sizes (given by the size of the beads glued on the plane) from 200 microns to 2 mm. The relative roughness corresponding to the maximum of the friction can be predicted with a geometrical model of stability of one single bead on the plane. The main parameters are the size of the bumps and the size of the flowing beads. In order to obtain a higher precision, the model also takes into account of the spacing between the bumps of the rough plane. Experimental results and model are in good agreement for all the planes we studied. Other parameters, like the sphericity of the beads, or irregularities in the thickness of the layer of glued particles, are shown to be of influence on the friction.

description: Quantum computing experiments are moving into a new realm of increasing size and complexity, with the short-term goal of demonstrating an advantage over classical computers. Boson sampling is a promising platform for such a goal, however, the number of involved single photons was up to five so far, limiting these small-scale implementations to a proof-of-principle stage. Here, we develop solid-state sources of highly efficient, pure and indistinguishable single photons, and 3D integration of ultra-low-loss optical circuits. We perform an experiment with 20 single photons fed into a 60-mode interferometer, and, in its output, sample over Hilbert spaces with a size of $10^{14}$ $-$over ten orders of magnitude larger than all previous experiments. The results are validated against distinguishable samplers and uniform samplers with a confidence level of 99.9%.

description: Despite growing scientific evidence that passing a 2°C temperature increase may trigger tipping points in climate dynamics, most Integrated Assessment Models (IAM) based on Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) with smooth quadratic damage functions are unable to account for the possibility of strong increase in climate damage. Our IAM RESPONSE makes it possible to bridge this gap by integrating a threshold effect damage function which sets a threshold of temperature increase from which climate damages increase significantly. To fit with on-going climate negotiations, this threshold is set at 2°C. Regardless of the bleak prospect of passing the threshold, it turns out that among a broad set of scenarios accounting for the diversity of worldviews in the climate debate, overshooting the 2°C target and then facing the resulting damage may become an optimal strategy for many economic agents who are struck by what we call a “doomsday effect”. We show that this effect happens for any level of jump in damage and dramatically increases if the beginning of mitigation efforts is postponed till the decade 2010-2020 on. In light of these results, we believe that any further delay in reaching a clear international agreement will close the window of opportunity for meeting the 2°C target with a reasonable chance of diplomatic success.

description: Genomic studies of cancer cell alterations, such as mutations, copy number variations (CNVs), and translocations, greatly promoted our understanding of the genesis and development of cancer. However, the 3D genome architecture of cancers remains less studied due to the complexity of cancer genomes and technical difficulties. To explore the 3D genome structure in clinical lung cancer, we performed Hi-C experiments using paired normal and tumor cells harvested from patients with lung cancer, combining with RNA-seq expression analysis. We demonstrated the feasibility of studying 3D genome of clinical lung cancer samples with small number of cells (104), compared the genome architecture between clinical samples and cell lines of lung cancer, and identified conserved and changed spatial chromatin structures between normal and cancer. We also showed that Hi- C data can be used to infer CNVs and point mutations in cancer. By integrating those different types of cancer alterations, we showed significant associations between CNVs, 3D genome and gene expression. We propose that 3D genome mediates the effects of cancer genomic alterations on gene expression through altering regulatory chromatin structures. Our study highlights the importance of analyzing 3D genomes of clinical cancer samples in addition to cancer cell lines and provides an integrative genomic analysis pipeline for future larger-scale studies in lung cancer and other cancers.
Chiral Gauge Models for Light Sterile Neutrinos

description: We construct a family of simple gauge models in which three sterile neutrinos become naturally light by virtue of a generalized seesaw mechanism involving a chiral gauge symmetry. Examples where the chiral gauge group is SU(5)', SU(7)', SU(3)' and/or their descendants are presented. A unified model based on SO(10) x SO(10)' which embeds many of these models is constructed wherein three light sterile neutrinos are just as natural as the three ordinary neutrinos. These gauge models have relevance to current neutrino oscillation data, including the LSND anomaly.

description: Many processes in psychology are complex, such as dyadic interactions between two interacting partners (e.g. patient-therapist, intimate relationship partners). Nevertheless, many basic questions about interactions are difficult to investigate because dyadic processes can be within a person and between partners, they are based on multimodal aspects of behavior and unfold rapidly. Current analyses are mainly based on the behavioral coding method, whereby human coders annotate behavior based on a coding schema. But coding is labor-intensive, expensive, slow, focuses on few modalities. Current approaches in psychology use LIWC for analyzing couples' interactions. However, advances in natural language processing such as BERT could enable the development of systems to potentially automate behavioral coding, which in turn could substantially improve psychological research. In this work, we train machine learning models to automatically predict positive and negative communication behavioral codes of 368 German-speaking Swiss couples during an 8-minute conflict interaction on a fine-grained scale (10-seconds sequences) using linguistic features and paralinguistic features derived with openSMILE. Our results show that both simpler TF-IDF features as well as more complex BERT features performed better than LIWC, and that adding paralinguistic features did not improve the performance. These results suggest it might be time to consider modern alternatives to LIWC, the de facto linguistic features in psychology, for prediction tasks in couples research. This work is a further step towards the automated coding of couples' behavior which could enhance couple research and therapy, and be utilized for other dyadic interactions as well.

On the Role of Solvent in Hydrophobic Cavity-ligand Recognition Kinetics

description: Solvent often manifests itself as the key determinant of the kinetic aspect of molecular recognition process. While the solvent is often depicted as a source of barrier in the ligand recognition process by polar cavity, the nature of solvent's role in the recognition process involving hydrophobic cavity and hydrophobic ligand remains to be addressed. In this work, we quantitatively assess the role of solvent in dictating the kinetic process of recognition in a popular system involving hydrophobic cavity and ligand. In this prototypical system the hydrophobic cavity undergoes \textit{dewetting transition} as the ligand approaches the cavity, which influences the cavity-ligand recognition kinetics. Here, we build Markov state model (MSM) using adaptively sampled unrestrained molecular dynamics simulation trajectories to map the kinetic recognition process. The MSM-reconstructed free energy surface recovers a broad water distribution at an intermediate cavity-ligand separation, consistent with previous report of dewetting transition in this system. Time-structured independent component analysis of the simulated trajectories quantitatively shows that cavity-solvent density contributes considerably in an optimised reaction coordinate involving cavity-ligand separation and water occupancy. Our approach quantifies two solvent-mediated macro states at an intermediate separation of the cavity-ligand recognition pathways, apart from the fully ligand-bound and fully ligand-unbound macro states. Interestingly, we find that these water-mediated intermediates, while transient in populations, can undergo slow mutual interconversion and create possibilities of multiple pathways of cavity recognition by the ligand. Overall, the work provides a quantitative assessment of the role that solvent plays in facilitating the recognition process involving hydrophobic cavity.

description: Eco-entrepreneurs in developing countries are often subject to market or institutional constraints, e.g. via credit rationing or missing markets. Conservation interventions which relax constraints may be both cost-effective and poverty reducing. A simulation using data from an intervention in Madagascar to relax the technological constraints of forest honey production investigates this possibility. Cost-effectively achieving dual environment-development goals is shown to depend on the severity of constraints, relative prices and, importantly, the nature of technology. Success is more likely for technologies exhibiting close to constant returns to scale or high input complementarity. Forest honey does not meet these requirements, whereas sustainable forest management may well do. Ultimately, where market or institutional constraints are present, knowledge of the recipient technology is required for more informed, efficient and perhaps, more politically-acceptable conservation policy.

description: We study the population trapping phenomenon for the one-photon mazer. With this intent, the mazer theory is written using the dressed-state coordinate formalism, simplifying the expressions for the atomic populations, the cavity photon statistics, and the reflection and transmission probabilities. Under the population trapping condition, evidence for new properties of the atomic scattering is given. Experimental issues and possible applications are discussed.
