description: We study the reduction modulo $l$ of some elliptic representations; for each of these representations, we give a particular lattice naturally obtained by parabolic induction in giving the graph of extensions between its irreducible sub-quotient of its reduction modulo $l$. The principal motivation for this work, is that these lattices appear in the cohomology of Lubin-Tate towers.

Separability bounds on multiqubit moments due to positivity under partial transpose

description: Positivity of the density operator reflects itself in terms of sequences of inequalities on observable moments. Uncertainty relations for non-commuting observables form a subset of these inequalities. In addition, criterion of positivity under partial transposition (PPT) imposes distinct bounds on moments, violations of which signal entanglement. We present bounds on some novel sets of composite moments, consequent to positive partial transposition of the density operator and report their violation by entangled multiqubit states. In particular, we derive separability bounds on a multiqubit moment matrix (based on PPT constraints on bipartite divisions of the density matrix) and show that three qubit pure states with non-zero tangle violate these PPT moment constraints. Further, we recover necessary and sufficient condition of separability in a multiqubit Werner state through PPT bounds on moments.

The early works of Kawabata Yasunari
Creators: name: Matson, Gary James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A careful study of the literary career of Kawabata Yasunari yields an interesting supposition on the creative rhythm of the author. In a cyclical fashion of fascinating regularity, Kawabata wrote and had published most of his best works in approximate five-year periods beginning either with the first year of a new decade or the year preceding the new decade. The only exception comes with the years from 1939 to 1945 in which little was written or published; this is hardly surprising since they were the years of the Second World War. All of his best works were published between his twenties and sixties. Eliminating the war years, we are left with four five-year periods. These four five-year periods are like the four seasons of the natural cycle. They coincide with the four seasons of the man's creative life, and the tone of the works matches these seasonal changes: in spring, the youthful traveler of "Izu no odoriko" ("The Izu Dancer," 1926); in summer, the ghosts of "Jojoka" ("Lyric Poem," 1932); in autumn, the aging man setting out to view the maples of fall of Yama no oto (The Sound of the Mountain, 1949-54); in winter, the fantasies of the old man of Nemureru bilo (House of the Sleeping Beauties, 1960-61). The purpose of this thesis is to study the springtime of Kawabata1s writings. The early works leading up to Kawabata's first masterpiece, "Izu no odoriko," have hitherto been largely neglected by critics and scholars of Japanese literature. Among the few studies already done on these early works, most have been biographically oriented. This thesis departs from this trend to take a critical approach to the analysis of the works. The thesis focuses on the areas of style, themes, motifs and images in Kawabata1s early works. To give broader meaning to the analysis of the works, aspects of traditional Japanese culture, particularly the Japanese lyrical tradition and Buddhist and Shinto thinking and symbolism, have been introduced into the thesis. Also, comparisons are made with Western literature in the areas of style, imagery, and symbolism. A number of general conclusions are reached on these early works. One can trace the origins of Kawabata's lyrical style back to Japan's earliest poetry. The style can be further identified with that of the haiku poet and writer of travel diaries Matsuo Basho. On a universal level, the style corresponds to that found in the Western lyrical novel. Buddhist and Shinto thinking and symbolism can be seen as having provided Kawabata with thematic and symbolic material for his works. One especially significant connection with Shinto is the use Kawabata makes of water to symbolize purification. One other feature singled out is the role of the "maternal" virgin.

description: Canned patterns (i.e. small subgraph patterns) in visual graph query interfaces (a.k.a GUI) facilitate efficient query formulation by enabling pattern-at-a-time construction mode. However, existing GUIs for querying large networks either do not expose any canned patterns or if they do then they are typically selected manually based on domain knowledge. Unfortunately, manual generation of canned patterns is not only labor intensive but may also lack diversity for supporting efficient visual formulation of a wide range of subgraph queries. In this paper, we present a novel generic and extensible framework called TATTOO that takes a data-driven approach to automatically selecting canned patterns for a GUI from large networks. Specifically, it first decomposes the underlying network into truss-infested and truss-oblivious regions. Then candidate canned patterns capturing different real-world query topologies are generated from these regions. Canned patterns based on a user-specified plug are then selected for the GUI from these candidates by maximizing coverage and diversity, and by minimizing the cognitive load of the pattern set. Experimental studies with real-world datasets demonstrate the benefits of TATTOO. Importantly, this work takes a concrete step towards realizing plug-and-play visual graph query interfaces for large networks.

Hybrid inflation followed by modular inflation

description: Inflationary models with a superheavy scale F-term hybrid inflation followed by an intermediate scale modular inflation are considered. The restrictions on the power spectrum P_R of curvature perturbation and the spectral index n_s from the recent data within the power-law cosmological model with cold dark matter and a cosmological constant can be met provided that the number of e-foldings N_HI* suffered by the pivot scale k_*=0.002/Mpc during hybrid inflation is suitably restricted. The additional e-foldings needed for solving the horizon and flatness problems are generated by modular inflation with a string axion as inflaton. For central values of P_R and n_s, the grand unification scale comes out, in the case of standard hybrid inflation, close to its supersymmetric value M_GUT=2.86 x 10^16 GeV, the relevant coupling constant is relatively large (0.005-0.14), and N_HI* is between 10 and 21.7. In the shifted [smooth] hybrid inflation case, the grand unification scale can be identified with M_GUT for N_HI*=21 [N_HI*=18].

description: The focus of this research was to verify if there was a link among anxiety toward mathematics, learning engagement, and their perception of technology's usefulness in mathematics. This ex-post research looked into the relationship and predictive degree of students' math anxiety, learning engagement, and perceived usefulness of technology to their mathematics achievement. Both math anxiety and students' perceptions of the utility of technology in learning have a significant impact on students' mathematics performance, but not on their engagement. The findings showed the importance of a high level of anxiety in improving student math performance. Additionally, math anxiety and the perceived usefulness of technology were discovered to be predictors of student mathematics performance. The findings suggest that anxiety, engagement, and perceptions of technology's usefulness should all be considered when improving students' general mathematics performance.

It is an old result of Stein and Wainger that for every polynomial P in Pd: |p.v.\int_R {e^{iP(t)} dt/t} | < C(d) for some constant C(d) depending only on d. On the other hand, Carbery, Wainger and Wright claim that the true order of magnitude of the above principal value integral is log d. We prove this conjecture.

The intriguing localization of the wave-packet as a result of the anomalous breaking of the scale symmetry is shown to provide a scale for the system. The symmetry algebra for the system, which is the conformal algebra SO(2,1), is discussed and is shown to belong to the enveloping algebra of the combined algebra, composed of the Virosoro algebra, \{L_n, n\in \mathbb{N}\} and an abelian algebra, \{P_n,n\in \mathbb{N}\}.

description: It was our objective to correlate specific performance in the Special Judo Fitness Test (SJFT) and the maximum isometric handgrip (HGSMax), scapular traction (STSMax) and lumbar traction (LTSMax) strength tests in military judo athletes. Twenty-two military athletes from the judo team of the Brazilian Navy Almirante Alexandrino Instruction Centre, with average age of 26.14 ± 3.31 years old, and average body mass of 83.23 ± 14.14 kg participated in the study. Electronic dynamometry tests for HGSMax, STSMax and LTSMax were conducted. Then, after approximately 1 hour-interval, the SJFT protocol was applied. All variables were adjusted to the body mass of the athletes. Pearson correlation coefficient for statistical analysis was used. The results showed moderate negative correlation between the SJFT index and STSMax (r= -0.550, p= 0.008), strong negative correlations between the SJFT index and HGSMax (r= -0.706, p< 0.001), SJFT index and LTSMax (r= -0.721; p= 0.001), besides the correlation between the sum of the three maximum isometric strength tests and the SJFT index (r= -0.786, p< 0.001). This study concludes that negative correlations occur between the SJFT index and maximum isometric handgrip, shoulder and lumbar traction strength and the sum of the three maximum isometric strength tests in military judokas.

Eocanites spiratissimus – Korn 1994: 83, text-figs 73h.
Diagnosis
Species of the genus Eocanites with a conch reaching 25 mm diameter. Conch at 12 mm dm very evolute (uw/dm ~0.60) with weakly depressed whorl profile (ww/wh ~1.10) and broadly rounded venter. Ornament with very fine, rursiradiate, concavo-convex growth lines with moderately deep ventral sinus. Without ribs.

Neotype
GERMANY • Rhenish Mountains, Oberrödinghausen, railway cutting; Hangenberg Limestone, bed 3c; Vöhringer Coll.; illustrated by Vöhringer (1960: pl. 6 fig. 3) and Korn (1994: text-fig. 73h); re-illustrated here in Fig. 123B; GPIT-PV- 64007.
Additional material
GERMANY • 2 specimens; Rhenish Mountains, Oberrödinghausen, railway cutting; Hangenberg Limestone, bed 3c; Vöhringer Coll.; GPIT-PV- 64012, GPIT-PV- 64010.
Description
Neotype GPIT-PV-64007 is a specimen with only 13 mm diameter and is largely embedded in a small limestone block (Fig. 123B). The dimensions can only be partially estimated, but it is clear that the conch is very evolute (uw/dm ~0.60 and that the whorl profile is almost circular. The shell appears to be smooth and bears very fine, rursiradiate growth lines.
The sectioned specimen GPIT-PV-64012 allows the study of conch geometry up to 10 mm diameter (Fig. 123C). The umbilicus is extremely wide between 3 and 10 mm conch diameter (uw/dm exceeds the value of 0.60) and the whorl profile decreases continuously from uw/wh ~1.40 to ~1.25.
Remarks
A type specimen was not selected when Schindewolf (1926b) described the species Eocanites spiratissimus; obviously no later author has determined a lectotype. In his monograph, Vöhringer (1960) did not give any information on a type of the species either. For this reason, a neotype from the Vöhringer Collection from the type locality is proposed here. Eocanites spiratissimus differs from the other species of Eocanites in the very wide umbilicus at 10 mm conch diameter. The uw/dm ratio exceeds, at 10 mm conch diameter, a value of 0.60 in E. spiratissimus, but usually less than 0.55 in the other species.

description: We analyze the time resolved spike statistics of a solitary and two mutually interacting chaotic semiconductor lasers whose chaos is characterized by apparently random, short intensity spikes. Repulsion between two successive spikes is observed, resulting in a refractory period which is largest at laser threshold. For time intervals between spikes greater than the refractory period, the distribution of the intervals follows a Poisson distribution. The spiking pattern is highly periodic over time windows corresponding to the optical length of the external cavity, with a slow change of the spiking pattern as time increases. When zero-lag synchronization between the two lasers is established, the statistics of the nearly perfectly matched spikes are not altered. The similarity of these features to those found in complex interacting neural networks, suggests the use of laser systems as simpler physical models for neural networks.

description: We analyze radio bursts observed in events with interacting/non-interacting CMEs that produced major SEPs (Ip $>$ 10 MeV) fromApril 1997 to December 2014.We compare properties of meter (m), deca-hectometer (DH) type II as well as DH type III bursts, and time lags for interacting-CME-associated (IC) events and non-interacting-CME-associated (NIC) events. About 70\% of radio emissions were observed in events of both types from meters to kilometers. We found high correlations between the drift rates and mid-frequencies of type II radio bursts calculated as the mean geometric between their starting and ending frequencies for both NIC and IC-associated events (Correlation coefficient \textit{R}$^{2}$ = 0.98, power-law index $\varepsilon$ = 1.68 $\pm $ 0.16 and \textit{R}$^{2}$ = 0.93, $\varepsilon$ = 1.64 $\pm $ 0.19 respectively).We also found a correlation between the frequency drift rates of DH type II bursts and space speeds of CMEs in NIC-associated events. The absence of such correlation for IC-associated events confirms that the shock speeds changed in CME--CME interactions. For the events with western source locations, the mean peak intensity of SEPs in IC-associated events is four times larger than that in NIC-associated SEP events. From the mean time lags between the start times of SEP events and the start of m, DH type II, and DH type III radio bursts, we inferred that particle enhancements in NIC-associated SEP events occurred earlier than in IC-associated SEP events. The difference between NIC events and IC events in the mean values of parameters of type II and type III bursts is statistically insignificant.

Subjects: subject: Distributed, Parallel, and Cluster Computing (cs.DC)

description: This paper describes BigBFT, a multi-leader Byzantine fault tolerance protocol that achieves high throughput and scalable consensus in blockchain systems. BigBFT achieves this by (1) enabling every node to be a leader that can propose and order the blocks in parallel, (2) piggybacking votes within rounds, (3) pipelining blocks across rounds, and (4) using only two communication steps to order blocks in the common case. BigBFT has an amortized communication cost of $O(n)$ over $n$ requests. We evaluate BigBFT's performance both analytically, using back-of-the-envelope load formulas to construct a cost analysis, and also empirically by implementing it in our PaxiBFT framework. Our evaluation compares BigBFT with PBFT, Tendermint, Streamlet, and Hotstuff under various workloads using deployments of 4 to 20 nodes. Our results show that BigBFT outperforms PBFT, Tendermint, Streamlet, and Hotstuff protocols either in terms of latency (by up to $70\%$) or in terms of throughput (by up to $190\%$).

A systematic rescaling of the electrokinetic equations allows us to identify a minimum set of suitable dimensionless parameters, which, within this theoretical framework, determine the reduced electrophoretic mobility. It turns out that the salt-free case can, on the Mean Field level, be described in terms of just three parameters. A fourth parameter, which had previously been identified on the basis of straightforward dimensional analysis, can only be important beyond Mean Field. More complicated behavior is expected to arise when further ionic species are added. However, for a certain parameter regime, we can demonstrate that the salt-free case can be mapped onto a corresponding system containing additional salt. The Green-Kubo formula for the electrophoretic mobility is derived, and its usefulness demonstrated by simulation data. Finally, we report on finite-element solutions of the electrokinetic equations, using the commercial software package COMSOL.

description: In the present paper we carry on a systematic study of 3-quasi-Sasakian manifolds. In particular we prove that the three Reeb vector fields generate an involutive distribution determining a canonical totally geodesic and Riemannian foliation. Locally, the leaves of this foliation turn out to be Lie groups: either the orthogonal group or an abelian one. We show that 3-quasi-Sasakian manifolds have a well-defined rank, obtaining a rank-based classification. Furthermore, we prove a splitting theorem for these manifolds assuming the integrability of one of the almost product structures. Finally, we show that the vertical distribution is a minimum of the corrected energy.

description: We investigate correlation functions of the Polyakov loop and static meson/diquark systems with the chiral condensate and the quark number density at finite temperature. In particular the latter observable can give insight in the mechanism of screening and string breaking at finite temperature. We use for our analysis gauge field configurations generated in 2+1 flavor QCD with an improved staggered fermion action with almost physical light quark masses and a physical value of the strange quark mass on lattices with temporal extent Nt=4 and 6.

description: Assessment of learning in higher education is a critical concern to policy makers, educators, parents, and students. And, doing so appropriately is likely to require including constructed response tests in the assessment system. We examined whether scoring costs and other concerns with using open-end measures on a large scale (e.g., turnaround time and inter-reader consistency) could be addressed by machine grading the answers. Analyses with 1359 students from 14 colleges found that two human readers agreed highly with each other in the scores they assigned to the answers to three types of open-ended questions. These reader assigned scores also agreed highly with those assigned by a computer. The correlations of the machine-assigned scores with SAT scores, college grades, and other measures were comparable to the correlations of these variables with the hand-assigned scores. Machine scoring did not widen differences in mean scores between racial/ethnic or gender groups. Our findings demonstrated that machine scoring can facilitate the use of open-ended questions in large-scale testing programs by providing a fast, accurate, and economical way to grade responses.

description: From the Sun, a look at the edge of each spiral arm in our Milky Way (seen tangentially, along the line of sight) can yield numerous insights. Using different arm tracers (dust, masers, synchrotron emission, CO gas, open star clusters), we observe here for the first time an age gradient (about 12 +/-2 Myrs/kpc), much as predicted by the density wave theory. This implies that the arm tracers are leaving the dust lane at a relative speed of about 81 +/-10 km/s. We then compare with recent optical data obtained from the Gaia satellite, pertaining to the spiral arms.

The plasmon Talbot effect

description: The plasmon analog of the self-imaging Talbot effect is described and theoretically analyzed. Rich plasmon carpets containing hot spots are shown to be produced by a row of periodically-spaced surface features. A row of holes drilled in a metal film and illuminated from the back side is discussed as a realizable implementation of this concept. Self-images of the row are produced, separated from the original one by distances up to several hundreds of wavelengths in the examples under consideration. The size of the image focal spots is close to half a wavelength and the spot positions can be controlled by changing the incidence direction of external illumination, suggesting the possibility of using this effect (and its extension to non-periodic surface features) for far-field patterning and for long-distance plasmon-based interconnects in plasmonic circuits, energy transfer, and related phenomena.

description: This thesis is an investigation into indeterminacy in the foundations of mathematics and its possible consequences for the applicability of the law of the excluded middle (LEM). It characterises different ways in which the natural numbers as well as the sets may be understood to be indeterminate, and asks in what sense this would cease to support applicability of LEM to reasoning with them. The first part of the thesis reviews the indeterminacy phenomena on which the argument is based and argues for a distinction between two notions of indeterminacy: a) indeterminacy as applied to domains and b) indefiniteness as applied to concepts. It then addresses possible attempts to secure determinacy in both cases. The second part of the thesis discusses the advantages that an argument from indeterminacy has over traditional intuitionistic arguments against LEM, and it provides the framework in which conditions for the applicability of LEM can be explicated in the setting of indeterminacy. The final part of the thesis then applies these findings to concrete cases of indeterminacy. With respect to indeterminacy of domains, I note some problems for establishing a rejection of LEM based on the indeterminacy of the height of the set theoretic hierarchy. I show that a coherent argument can be made for the rejection of LEM based on the indeterminacy of its width, and assess its philosophical commitments. A final chapter addresses the notion of indefiniteness of our concepts of set and number and asks how this might affect the applicability of LEM.
Star cluster evolution in the Magellanic Clouds revisited

description: The evolution of star clusters in the Magellanic Clouds has been the subject of significant recent controversy, particularly regarding the importance and length of the earliest, largely mass-independent disruption phase (referred to as "infant mortality"). Here, we take a fresh approach to the problem, using a large, independent, and homogeneous data set of UBVR imaging observations, from which we obtain the cluster age and mass distributions in both the Large and Small Magelanic Clouds (LMC, SMC) in a self-consistent manner. We conclude that the (optically selected) SMC star cluster population has undergone at most ~30% (1sigma) infant mortality between the age range from about 3-10 Myr, to that of approximately 40-160 Myr. We rule out a 90% cluster mortality rate per decade of age (for the full age range up to 10^9 yr) at a >6sigma level. Using a simple approach, we derive a "characteristic" cluster disruption time-scale for the cluster population in the LMC that implies that we are observing the INITIAL cluster mass function. Preliminary results suggest that the LMC cluster population may be affected by <10% infant mortality.

description: We present Spitzer observations of Tidal Dwarf Galaxies (TDGs) in three interacting systems: NGC 5291, Arp105 and Stephan's Quintet. The spectra show bright emission from polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), nebular lines and warm molecular hydrogen, characteristic of recent episodes of star formation. The PAH emission that falls in the IRAC 8.0 micron band leads to the TDGs having an extremely red IRAC color, with [4.5] - [8.0] > 3. The emission from PAHs is characterized by a model with mainly neutral 100-C PAH atoms.

Subjects: subject: Data analytics
subject: Content pattern
subject: Linked data
subject: Information extraction

description: Linked Data (LD) datasets (e.g., DBpedia, Freebase) are used in many knowledge extraction tasks due to the high variety of domains they cover. Unfortunately, many of these datasets do not provide a description for their properties and classes, reducing the users' freedom to understand, reuse or enrich them. This work attempts to fill part of this lack by presenting an unsupervised approach to discover syntactic patterns in the properties used in LD datasets. This approach produces a content patterns database generated from the textual data (content) of properties, which describes the syntactic structures that each property have. Our analysis enables (i) a human-understanding of syntactic patterns for properties in a LD dataset, and (ii) a structural description of properties that facilitates its reuse or extension. Results over DBpedia dataset also show that our approach enables (iii) the detection of data inconsistencies, and (iv) the validation and suggestion of new values for a property. We also outline how the resulting database can be exploited in several information extraction use cases.

description: This paper is about the rate of convergence of the Markov chain $X_{n+1}=AX_{n}+B_{n}$ (mod $p$), where $A$ is an integer matrix with nonzero eigenvalues and ${B_{n}}_{n}$ is a sequence of independent and identically distributed integer vectors, with support not parallel to a proper subspace of $Q^{k}$ invariant under $A$. If $|λ_{i}|\not=1$ for all eigenvalues $λ_{i}$ of $A$, then $n=O((\ln p)^{2}) $ steps are sufficient and $n=O(\ln p)$ steps are necessary to have $X_{n}$ sampling from a nearly uniform distribution. Conversely, if $A$ has the eigenvalues $λ_{i}$ that are roots of positive integer numbers, $|λ_{1}|=1$ and $|λ_{i}|>1$ for all $i\not=1$, then $O(p^{2}) $ steps are necessary and sufficient.

description: The virtual reality has been frequently required in rehabilitation settings. However, it still lacks specificity, making it necessary to establish specific criteria to classify the most relevant aspects of electronic games to allow interventions based on virtual reality. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to develop a “Perceptual and motor demands assessment protocol for virtual reality systems” and to investigate its content validity and intra and inter observer agreement. The protocol was created through a literature review including classical studies as well as a review of recent articles about motor behavior, physical training, cognitive neuroscience and virtual reality. The previous versions were presented in study group meetings and congresses, and modified accordingly to suggestions of experts. Three examiners used the final version to analyze twice the total of 20 videos of individuals in a virtual environment and answered a questionnaire about its content validity. Most of the obtained values were classified as “good” (concordance from 80% to 89%) or “excellent” (concordance from 90% to 100%) by the three examiners and the protocol’s content validity was adequate. The protocol is valid, applicable and practical for analyzing different requirements of electronic games in a virtual environment.
