description: By making use of Langlands functoriality between GSp(4) and GL(4), we show that the images of the Galois representations attached to "genuine" globally generic automorphic representations of GSp(4) are "large" for almost every prime. Moreover, by using the notion of (n,p)-groups (introduced by Khare, Larsen and Savin) and generic Langlands functoriality from SO(5) to GL(4) we construct automorphic representations of GSp(4) such that the compatible system attached to them has large image for all primes.

Act therefore to be a virago of the Lord: Eleventh Century Ecclesiastical Reform and New Forms and Perceptions of Lay Female Religiosity
Creators: name: Locking, Alexandra Mary
Publisher: name: University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Year: 2013

description: Despite the extensive scholarship on the eleventh and twelfth century ecclesiastical reform movement, the roles that lay noblewomen played within the reform have often been overlooked. This thesis focuses on the correspondence between lay noblewomen across Europe and clerical reformers, chronicle excerpts, and several vitae of women from this period in order to study laywomen's participation in all aspects of the reform movement. An analysis of these sources points to the emergence of a new perception of lay female religiosity, one built upon the belief in a politically and socially active female agent of the Christian Church who could use her position in her family and her rank as a member of the nobility to influence and support the efforts of the reform movement. This thesis contributes to the growing scholarship focusing on the role of gender in medieval religious history, and suggests that the importance of women within the reform dynamic was greater and more complex than hitherto suspected.

description: In this work, we model abstractive text summarization using Attentional Encoder-Decoder Recurrent Neural Networks, and show that they achieve state-of-the-art performance on two different corpora. We propose several novel models that address critical problems in summarization that are not adequately modeled by the basic architecture, such as modeling key-words, capturing the hierarchy of sentence-to-word structure, and emitting words that are rare or unseen at training time. Our work shows that many of our proposed models contribute to further improvement in performance. We also propose a new dataset consisting of multi-sentence summaries, and establish performance benchmarks for further research.

reservations to treaties

description: Second semester University: Utrecht University.
description: CEDAW is a specialised human rights treaty whose focus lies on the elimination of all forms of discrimination against women. The Convention’s far-reaching approach aims not only at state discrimination, but also addresses its root causes in the private sphere. CEDAW has found nearly universal recognition, but has also witnessed a high number of controversial reservations to its core provisions, some evidently running counter to the object and purpose of the treaty. The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties contains rules concerning reservations. For various reasons, those have been deemed inappropriate for human rights treaties. Therefore, in order to properly fulfil their functions, human rights treaty organs have explored their own ways to address reservations. The Committee has repeatedly expressed its concern about the high number of problematic reservations to CEDAW. It also routinely addresses them in the reporting process. However, there is still a lack of clarity on how incompatible reservations have to be dealt with, especially in the context of an individual complaint under the Optional Protocol. Therefore it is about time to formulate a new General Recommendation on the matter of reservations, which gives clear guidance to the participating states and also duly takes into account recent developments.

description: We compute the top quark threshold contributions to the $γγ$ production at the LHC. They appear when the invariant mass of the photon pair, $M_{γγ}$ just exceeds two times the mass of the top quark and induce some feature in the $M_{γγ}$ distribution. We determine the magnitude of this threshold effect and characterize this feature with a simple empirical fitting function to show that it is possible to observe this effect at the LHC in future. We also explore some possible improvements that may enhance its significance.

Local(ish) gravity theories in conformal superspace

Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Motivated by well-known obstacles to quantum gravity, I look for the most general geometrodynamical symmetries compatible with a reduced physical configuration space for metric gravity. I argue that they lead either to a completely static Universe, or one embodying spatial conformal diffeomorphisms. Demanding locality for an action compatible with these principles determines the sort of terms one can add, both for the purely gravitational part as well as matter couplings. The symmetries guarantee that there are two gravitational propagating physical degrees of freedom (and no explicit refoliation-invariance). The simplest such system has a geometric interpretation as a geodesic model in infinite dimensional conformal superspace. An approximate solution to the equations of motion corresponds to a static Bianchi IX spatial ansatz. The unique coupling to electromagnetism forces its propagation equations to be hyperbolic, enabling us to build" a standard space-time causal structure. There are, however, deviations from the standard Maxwell equations when space-time anisotropies become too large. Regarding quantization, with the geometric interpretation and the lack of refoliation invariance, the path integral treatment of the symmetries becomes much less involved than the similar approaches to GR. The symmetries form an (infinite-dimensional) Lie algebra, and no BFV treatment is necessary. We find that the propagator around the flat solution has up to 6-th order spatial derivatives, giving it plausible regularization properties as in Horava-Lifschitz.

description: The syntheses of new zinc(II), palladium(II), platinum(II) and silver(I) complexes of indol-3-acetic acid (HIAA) as a primary chelate and N,N- (2,2’-bipyridyl; bpy) or P- (triphenylphosphine; PPh3) as secondary chelate are reported. The molecular structures of these complexes are discussed based on spectral {IR, NMR (1H, 13C, 31P), UV–Vis, and EI and maldi-mass}, elemental analysis, molar conductivity and TGA measurements. HIAA coordinates the metal ions through the two O-atoms of -COO-, deprotonated O = C-O- or carbonyl O-atom (HO-C = O) in a mononegative bidentate, mononegative monodentate or neutral monodentate fashion, respectively. In case of the binuclear Ag(I) complex, HIAA behaves as mononegative bidentate ligand, binding two Ag(I) ions through both carbonyl O- and deprotonated -O- atoms. The dissociation constant (pKa) of HIAA was determined and the stoichiometry of the complexes in solution was established using the molar ratio and Job’s methods. The anticancer activity of some of the complexes was examined against the human ovarian cancer (VC-8-BRCA and VC-8) cell lines. The DNA-binding properties of the water-soluble complexes were investigated using UV-vis spectroscopy. The complexes may undergo intercalative CT-DNA binding in view of their hypochromism. The binding constants (Kb) of the complexes with CT-DNA show high-to-moderate binding abilities.HighlightNew Zn(II), Pd(II), Pt(II) and Ag(I) complexes of indole-3-acetic acid (HIAA) are reported.The structure of the complexes has been discussed based on physico-chemical measurements.In vitro anticancer activities the complexes against human ovarian cancer (VC-8-BRCA & VC-8) cell lines have been tested.DNA-binding properties of some of the complexes have been studied New Zn(II), Pd(II), Pt(II) and Ag(I) complexes of indole-3-acetic acid (HIAA) are reported.

description: Experimental results are reported on the airborne release, under fire conditions, of hazardous materials dissolved in a mixture of organic solvents [tributylphosphate (TBP) and hydrogenated tetrapropylene (HTP)] representative of the nuclear fuel recycling process. Cerium and ruthenium have been considered, respectively, as stable and volatile fission products that eventually could be released as airborne particles during thermal degradation of contaminated and inflammable liquids. Airborne release fractions (ARFs) and their experimental uncertainties have been determined. Considering fire involving contaminated organic solvents, higher ARFs are reported for ruthenium Ru(+III) (0.99 ± 1.20%) in comparison with cerium [0.22 ± 0.31% and 0.20 ± 0.28% for Ce(+III) and Ce(+IV), respectively]. This discrepancy is partially due to the volatility of ruthenium formed under these conditions. Considering configurations involving an aqueous nitric acid phase placed below contaminated solvents, boiling of this phase enhances the release of contaminant materials: 1.78 ± 1.06% and 1.01 ± 1.31% for Ce(+III) and Ce(+IV), respectively, and 12.41 ± 29.45% for Ru(+III). Analysis of the size distribution, morphology, and chemical composition of the released particles and droplets emitted during HTP/TBP bubble collapse are reported, highlighting the contribution of bubble bursting at the solvent surface to airborne release.

description: We prove that for any homogeneous, second order, constant complex coefficient elliptic system $L$, the Dirichlet problem in $\mathbb{R}^{n}_{+}$ with boundary data in BMO is well-posed in the class of functions $u$ with $dμ_u(x',t):=|\nabla u(x',t)|^2\,t\,dx'dt$ being a Carleson measure. We establish a Fatou type theorem guaranteeing the existence of the pointwise nontangential boundary trace for smooth null-solutions $u$ of such systems satisfying the said Carleson measure condition. These imply that BMO can be characterized as the collection of nontangential pointwise traces of smooth null-solutions $u$ to the elliptic system $L$ with the property that $μ_u$ is a Carleson measure. We establish a regularity result for the BMO-Dirichlet problem in the upper-half space: the nontangential pointwise trace of any given smooth null-solutions of $L$ satisfying the above Carleson measure condition belongs to Sarason's space VMO if and only if $μ_u$ satsifies a vanishing Carleson measure condition. Moreover, we obtain the well-posedness of the Dirichlet problems when the boundary data are prescribed in Morrey-Campanato and solutions are required to satisfy a vanishing Carleson measure condition of fractional order. As a consequence, we characterize the space VMO as the closure in BMO of classes of smooth functions contained in BMO within which uniform continuity may be suitably quantified (such as the class of smooth functions satisfying a Hölder or Lipschitz condition), improving Sarason's classical result describing VMO as the closure in BMO of the space of uniformly continuous functions with bounded mean oscillations. Finally, we show that any Calderón-Zygmund operator $T$ satisfying $T(1)=0$ extends as a bounded linear operator in $\mathrm{VMO}$, and characterize the membership to $\mathrm{VMO}$ via the action of various classes of singular integral operators.

Several nonlocal sets of multipartite pure orthogonal product states

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It is known that there exist sets of pure orthogonal product states which cannot be perfectly distinguished by local operations and classical communication (LOCC). Such sets are nonlocal sets which exhibit nonlocality without entanglement. These nonlocal sets can be completable or uncompletable. In this work both completable and uncompletable small nonlocal sets of multipartite orthogonal product states are constructed. Apart from nonlocality, these sets have other interesting properties. In particular, the completable sets lead to the construction of a class of complete orthogonal product bases with the property that if such a basis is given then no state can be eliminated from that basis by performing orthogonality-preserving measurements. On the other hand, an uncompletable set of the present kind contains several Shifts unextendible product bases (UPBs) that belong to qubit subspaces. Identifying these subspace UPBs, it is possible to obtain a class of high-dimensional multipartite bound entangled states. Finally, it is shown that a two-qubit maximally entangled Bell state shared between any two parties is sufficient as a resource to distinguish the states of any completable set (of the above kind) perfectly by LOCC. This constitutes an example where the amount of entanglement, sufficient to accomplish the aforesaid task, depends neither on the dimension of the individual subsystems nor on the number of parties.

description: Many real-world networks exhibit a multicores-periphery structure, with densely connected vertices in multiple cores surrounded by a general periphery of sparsely connected vertices. Identification of the multicores-periphery structure can provide a new lens to understand the structures and functions of various real-world networks. This paper defines the multicores-periphery structure and introduces an algorithm to identify the optimal partition of multiple cores and the periphery in general networks. We demonstrate the performance of our algorithm by applying it to a well-known social network and a patent technology network, which are best characterized by the multicores-periphery structure. The analyses also reveal the differences between our multicores-periphery detection algorithm and two state-of-the-art algorithms for detecting the single core-periphery structure and community structure.

description: This conceptual paper explored the fundamental barriers to successful equity training and professional development for teachers. This was done to show the need for a professional development series, based on Ting-Toomey and Chung’s (2012) cultural value pattern analysis. Using the theoretical lens of post-colonial theory, the authors posit the need for professional development that begins with teacher positioning (Davies & Harré, 1990) for purpose of disrupting deficit-oriented epistemes of sociocultural differences. The conceptual framework contains activities for participants, as well as future recommendations for further training.
Concrete Language and Sexual Prejudice
Creators: name: Conlon, Ian James
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2007

description: This paper examines the role of concrete terminology in survey research and its relationship to prejudicial response. Using data from the 2004 National Annenberg Election Study, I examine responses to two similarly worded items about same-sex marriage. The two questions had near-identical wording, with the only exception being the terms used to refer to describe same-sex couples. The first wording asked about "gays and lesbians," whereas the second asked about "two men" or "two women." Drawing on research in cognitive psychology, I hypothesize that opposition to the second wording will be higher and more extreme because the wording is more concrete and thus more likely to evoke visualization. Additionally, I hypothesize that respondents from sociodemographic groups associated with heightened sexual prejudice will be disproportionately affected by the concrete wording. The results confirm both hypotheses. Implications for survey response and limitations of the current study are discussed.

description: Fractional statistics and quantum chaos are both phenomena associated with the non-local storage of quantum information. In this article, we point out a connection between the butterfly effect in (1+1)-dimensional rational conformal field theories and fractional statistics in (2+1)-dimensional topologically ordered states. This connection comes from the characterization of the butterfly effect by the out-of-time-order-correlator proposed recently. We show that the late-time behavior of such correlators is determined by universal properties of the rational conformal field theory such as the modular S-matrix and conformal spins. Using the bulk-boundary correspondence between rational conformal field theories and (2+1)-dimensional topologically ordered states, we show that the late time behavior of out-of-time-order-correlators is intrinsically connected with fractional statistics in the topological order. We also propose a quantitative measure of chaos in a rational conformal field theory, which turns out to be determined by the topological entanglement entropy of the corresponding topological order.

description: Die-rolling is the cryptographic task where two mistrustful, remote parties wish to generate a random $D$-sided die-roll over a communication channel. Optimal quantum protocols for this task have been given by Aharon and Silman (New Journal of Physics, 2010) but are based on optimal weak coin-flipping protocols which are currently very complicated and not very well understood. In this paper, we first present very simple classical protocols for die-rolling which have decent (and sometimes optimal) security which is in stark contrast to coin-flipping, bit-commitment, oblivious transfer, and many other two-party cryptographic primitives. We also present quantum protocols based on integer-commitment, a generalization of bit-commitment, where one wishes to commit to an integer. We analyze these protocols using semidefinite programming and finally give protocols which are very close to Kitaev's lower bound for any $D \geq 3$. Lastly, we briefly discuss an application of this work to the quantum state discrimination problem.

description: Influences of topological defect and dislocation on conductivity behavior of charge carries in external electromagnetic fields are studied. Particularly the quantum Hall effect is investigated in detail. It is found that the nontrivial deformations of spacetime due to topological defect and dislocation produce an electric current at the leading order of perturbation theory. This current then induces a deformation on the Hall conductivity. The corrections on the Hall conductivity depend on the external electric fields, the size of the sample and the momentum of the particle.

description: A novel ionic liquid-coated nanomaterials (CaO@SiO2@BAIL) was successfully synthesized by anchoring the 1-(3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl)-1,3,5,7-tetraazaadamantan-1-ium chlorozincate (II) bi-functional ionic liquid (BAIL) onto the surface of silica‐coated CaO nanoparticles. The structure of catalyst was characterized using various analytical techniques such as Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), WDS map scan, thermogravimetric (TGA), and inductively-coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). The performances of prepared hybrid nanomaterial (CaO@SiO2@BAIL) as a catalyst were evaluated for the efficient synthesis of the pharmaceutically valuable heterocyclic compounds. A variety of pyridine, pyrimidine, and pyrazoline derivatives were synthesized in the presence of CaO@SiO2@BAIL within green conditions. The presented method has several advantages such as high yields, low reaction times, and easy preparation of the catalyst. The bi-functional heterogeneous nanocatalyst can be reused at least six times without considerable loss of its catalytic activity.

We do so using a model-independent parameterization that describes deviations of the matter power spectrum from the dark-matter-only case as a set of principal components that are localized in wavenumber and redshift. We perform forecasts for a variety of current and future datasets, and find that at least ~90% of the constraining power of these datasets is contained in no more than nine principal components. The constraining power of different surveys can be quantified using a figure of merit defined relative to currently available surveys. With this metric, we find that the final Dark Energy Survey dataset (DES Y5) and the Hyper Suprime Cam Survey will be roughly an order of magnitude more powerful than existing data in constraining baryonic effects. Upcoming Stage IV surveys (LSST, Euclid, and WFIRST) will improve upon this by a further factor of a few. We show that this conclusion is robust to marginalization over several key systematics. The ultimate power of cosmic shear to constrain galaxy formation is dependent on understanding systematics in the shear measurements at small (sub-arcminute) scales. If these systematics can be sufficiently controlled, cosmic shear measurements from DES Y5 and other future surveys have the potential to provide a very clean probe of galaxy formation and to strongly constrain a wide range of predictions from modern hydrodynamical simulations.

description: In this research, the functionalized graphene oxide (GO) catalyst was prepared by covalently immobilization of metformin copper complex on the surface of GO. The chemical and physical structures of catalyst were fully characterized by various analyses like XRD, ICP, FT-IR, TEM, EDX, BET and TGA. Then, the effects of nanosheet heterogeneous catalyst were investigated for the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles via azide-alkyne cycloaddition reaction. This is the first report for the synthesis of 1,2,3-triazoles derivatives catalyzed by heterogeneous GO copper complex and water as a green solvent.

description: Hypodontia is a common clinical challenge in orthodontics and dentistry. It occurs as a syndrome--ectodermal dysplasia (ED) and as non-syndromic tooth agenesis (NSTA). This study quantifies patterns of agenesis and tooth morphology between ED (n=37) and NSTA (n=81) groups. 118 radiographs and 58 dental casts were measured for presence/absence and mesiodistal width of permanent teeth. In addition, the conicity of the maxillary incisors was determined using a novel index. 88 affected (ED or NSTA) individuals were genotyped using 1474 SNPs of candidate genes (AXIN2, BMP4, EDA, MSX1, and PAX9). Multivariate analyses determined that specific SNPs in BMP4 and MSX1 best explain the genetic differences between the two groups. When compared to NSTA, ED had reduced tooth widths, more conical maxillary incisors, and a higher occurrence of missing teeth (p<0.05), excluding mandibular second premolars. The new measure of conicity detected differences between control, ED, and NSTA groups.

description: A problem in quantum information theory is to find the experimental setup that maximizes the nonlocality of correlations with respect to some suitable measure such as the violation of Bell inequalities. The latter has however some drawbacks. First and foremost it is unfeasible to determine the whole set of Bell inequalities already for a few measurements and thus unfeasible to find the experimental setup maximizing their violation. Second, the Bell violation suffers from an ambiguity stemming from the choice of the normalization of the Bell coefficients. An alternative measure of nonlocality with a direct information-theoretic interpretation is the minimal amount of classical communication required for simulating nonlocal correlations. In the case of many instances simulated in parallel, the minimal communication cost per instance is called nonlocal capacity, and its computation can be reduced to a convex-optimization problem. This quantity can be computed for a higher number of measurements and turns out to be useful for finding the optimal experimental setup. Focusing on the bipartite case, in this paper, we present a simple method for maximizing the nonlocal capacity over a given configuration space and, in particular, over a set of possible measurements, yielding the corresponding optimal setup. Furthermore, we show that there is a functional relationship between Bell violation and nonlocal capacity. The method is illustrated with numerical tests and compared with the maximization of the violation of CGLMP-type Bell inequalities on the basis of entangled two-qubit as well as two-qutrit states. Remarkably, the anomaly of nonlocality displayed by qutrits turns out to be even stronger if the nonlocal capacity is employed as a measure of nonlocality.

description: Let $G=(V,E)$ be a simple graph. For any integer $k\geq 1$, a subset of $V$ is called a $k$-tuple total dominating set of $G$ if every vertex in $V$ has at least $k$ neighbors in the set. The minimum cardinality of a minimal $k$-tuple total dominating set of $G$ is called the $k$-tuple total domination number of $G$. In this paper, we introduce the concept of upper $k$-tuple total domination number of $G$ as the maximum cardinality of a minimal $k$-tuple total dominating set of $G$, and study the problem of finding a minimal $k$-tuple total dominating set of maximum cardinality on several classes of graphs, as well as finding general bounds and characterizations. Also, we find some results on the upper $k$-tuple total domination number of the Cartesian and cross product graphs.

description: In this paper we explore the correspondence between four-dimensional Born-Infeld theory and five-dimensional classical gravity. The Born-Infeld theory side corresponds to the low energy effective theory for open strings ending on coincident D3-branes in a (slowly varying) background Kalb-Ramond field, including all higher-derivative corrections. On the gravity side one has the gravitational (closed string) description of D3-branes in the same background Kalb-Ramond field and the correspondence is thus a consequence of the open/closed string duality. According to the correspondence the gravity side provides a description of the strong coupling limit of Born-Infeld theory. This is a correspondence between effective theories in a similar sense as in the fluid/gravity correspondence. We match the Born-Infeld and gravity sides up to, and including, two-derivative corrections. To this end, we find a new gravity solution for D3-branes with flat embedding in the background of an arbitrary constant background Kalb-Ramond field and show that there are no two-derivative corrections to this for a slowly varying Kalb-Ramond field.

description: This is an abstract from the session entitled "In Small Islands Forgotten: Insular Historical Archaeologies of a Globalizing World", at the 2023 annual meeting of the Society for Historical Archaeology. Interdisciplinary approaches from maritime, coastal, island, nautical and underwater archaeology have been developed in recent years in Colombia, particularly on the island of Tierrabomba in Cartagena de Indias, the islands of Providencia and Santa Catalina and La Guajira Peninsula (Caribbean Sea). The results of these integral investigations aim to understand these seascapes and sandscapes as nautical spaces for mobility, control and territorial defense of the region. The documentary and material evidences have allowed to characterize the relationship of socio-cultural development, between the 18th and 19th centuries, with its aquatic spaces. Therefore, the objective of this paper is to present a comparative analysis of the control and maritime defense of insular and coastal nautical spaces in these three study areas of the Colombian Caribbean Sea through the archaeological contexts.

description: Let $\operatorname{CDG}_{cont}$ be the category whose objects are pairs $(A,\bar{\mathfrak{a}})$, where $A$ is a commutative DG-algebra and $\bar{\mathfrak{a}}\subseteq \mathrm{H}^0(A)$ is a finitely generated ideal, and whose morphisms $f:(A,\bar{\mathfrak{a}}) \to (B,\bar{\mathfrak{b}})$ are morphisms of DG-algebras $A \to B$, such that $(\mathrm{H}^0(f)(\bar{\mathfrak{a}})) \subseteq \bar{\mathfrak{b}}$. Letting $\mathrm{Ho}(\operatorname{CDG}_{cont})$ be its homotopy category, obtained by inverting adic quasi-isomorphisms, we construct a functor $\mathrm{L}Λ:\mathrm{Ho}(\operatorname{CDG}_{cont}) \to \mathrm{Ho}(\operatorname{CDG}_{cont})$ which takes a pair $(A,\bar{\mathfrak{a}})$ into its non-abelian derived $\bar{\mathfrak{a}}$-adic completion. We show that this operation has, in a derived sense, the usual properties of adic completion of commutative rings, and that if $A = \mathrm{H}^0(A)$ is an ordinary noetherian ring, this operation coincides with ordinary adic completion. As an application, following a question of Buchweitz and Flenner, we show that if $\Bbbk$ is a commutative ring, and $A$ is a commutative $\Bbbk$-algebra which is $\mathfrak{a}$-adically complete with respect to a finitely generated ideal $\mathfrak{a}\subseteq A$, then the derived Hochschild cohomology modules $\operatorname{Ext}^n_{A\otimes^{\mathrm{L}}_{\Bbbk} A} (A,A)$ and the derived complete Hochschild cohomology modules $\operatorname{Ext}^n_{A\widehat{\otimes}^{\mathrm{L}}_{\Bbbk} A} (A,A)$ coincide, without assuming any finiteness or noetherian conditions on $\Bbbk, A$ or on the map $\Bbbk \to A$.
