description: We use cosmological LCDM numerical simulations to model the evolution of the substructure population in sixteen dark matter haloes with resolutions of up to seven million particles within the virial radius. The combined substructure circular velocity distribution function (VDF) for hosts of 10^11 to 10^14 Msun at redshifts from zero to two or higher has a self-similar shape, is independent of host halo mass and redshift, and follows the relation: dn/dv=(1/8)(v_cmax/v_cmax,host)^-4. Halo to halo variance in the VDF is a factor of roughly two to four. At high redshifts, we find preliminary evidence for fewer large substructure haloes (subhaloes). Specific angular momenta are significantly lower for subhaloes nearer the host halo centre where tidal stripping is more effective. The radial distribution of subhaloes is marginally consistent with the mass profile for r >~ 0.3r_vir, where the possibility of artificial numerical disruption of subhaloes can be most reliably excluded by our convergence study, although a subhalo distribution that is shallower than the mass profile is favoured. Subhalo masses but not circular velocities decrease toward the host centre. Subhalo velocity dispersions hint at a positive velocity bias at small radii. There is a weak bias toward more circular orbits at lower redshift, especially at small radii. We additionally model a cluster in several power law cosmologies of P ~ k^n, and demonstrate that a steeper spectral index, n, results in significantly less substructure.

description: Conventional wisdom suggests abused women get caught in a cycle of violence and are unable or unwilling to leave their spouses. We estimate a model of domestic violence to determine who abuses, who is abused, and how women respond to abuse via employment and divorce. In contrast to conventional wisdom, abused women are 1.7 to 5.7 times more likely to divorce. Employment before abuse occurs is found to be a significant deterrent. For men, witnessing violence as a child is a strong predictor of abusive behavior: re-socializing men from violent homes lowers abuse rates by 26 to 48 percent.

description: this paper introduces a new resource-saving solution to the problem of retrieving part of an image. Most image-retrieval functions require the ability to extract structured features to understand the context of an unfamiliar environment and realistic image restoration. The proposed model is based on the conceptual art of convolutional architecture and reproductive opposition models. This method allows you to achieve high quality retrieval of a person's face image, while requiring a minimum amount of resources. The generator design of the generator makes it easier to make better use of the resources used by extracting features from the image tower the more complex earth features are extracted with less modification, which can significantly reduce the resources used. This paper provides a comparative evaluation of the method used, and the competition, which ensures that by presenting cascade generator design ideas, high quality can be obtained without the use of any back-end processing at minimal source costs. This paper also presents an analysis of the key components of the new approach, showing their importance for the proposed approach
Holography, the Cosmological Constant and the Upper Limit of the Number of e-foldings

description: If the source of the current accelerating expansion of the universe is a positive cosmological constant, Banks and Fischler argued that there exists an upper limit of the total number of e-foldings of inflation. We further elaborate on the upper limit in the senses of viewing the cosmological horizon as the boundary of a cavity and of the holographic D-bound in a de Sitter space. Assuming a simple evolution model of inflation, we obtain an expression of the upper limit in terms of the cosmological constant, the energy density of inflaton when the inflation starts, the energy density as the inflation ends, and reheating temperature. We discuss how the upper limit is modified in the different evolution models of the universe. The holographic D-bound gives more high upper limit than the entropy threshold in the cavity. For the most extremal case where the initial energy density of inflation is as high as the Planck energy, and the reheating temperature is as low as the energy scale of nucleosynthesis, the D-bound gives the upper limit as 146 and the entropy threshold as 122. For reasonable assumption in the simplest cosmology, the holographic D-bound leads to a value about 85, while the cavity model gives a value around 65 for the upper limit, which is close to the value in order to solve the flatness problem and horizon problem in the hot big bang cosmology.

description: This dissertation, using an original survey instrument administered to a random sample of 500 male and 500 female Senior Executive Service (SES) employees, examines the differences in responsibilities and attitudes of top-ranking federal career executives. First, I demonstrate that male and female SES members have sufficient discretion to influence policymaking in their organizations. Sample respondents indicate how frequently they perform various activities and how much power these activities give them within their agencies. Senior Executive Service members are clearly involved in many stages of policy formulation and implementation, have substantial contact with executive branch colleagues in other agencies and departments (and noticeably less contact with members of Congress, congressional staff, OMB and other White House staff), and Meld influence over budgetary and personnel matters within their organizations. Further, and contrary to expectations, women in the SES exhibit responsibility levels and perceived powers at least as high as men. Second, I investigate whether women in top bureaucratic positions provide representation for women in the American public. Overall, the evidence suggests that senior executive women are likely to produce policy which better reflects the needs and interests of women in the population. They show more support for women's issues such as family leave, affirmative action, child care, and women's health. In addition, differences in the spending priorities of SES men and women in my survey reflect differences in the priorities of men and women in the general public, as shown in the 1992 and 1994 American National Election Studies. These findings suggest that federal policy should better reflect women's distinct interests and priorities with greater numbers of women in elite administrative positions in the federal government. These findings also suggest additional avenues for future research. The scholarly inquiry into SES members' job responsibilities should stimulate more detailed research into individual administrative behavior and how these career executives contribute to federal policy-making and the attitudinal findings suggest further research on elite women's distinct contributions to federal governance.

description: The hypothesis of the decay of neutrino mass eigenstates leads to a substantial modification of the appearance and disappearance probabilities of flavor eigenstates. We investigate the impact on the standard oscillation scenario caused by the decay of the heaviest mass eigenstate $ν_3$ (with a mass $m_3$ and a mean life $τ_3$) to a sterile state in DUNE. We find that the lower bound of $5.1 \times 10^{-11}~s/eV$ at 90\% CL on the decay parameter $τ_3/m_3$ can be set if the Neutral Current data are included in the analysis, thus providing the best long-baseline expected limit so far. We also show that the $ν_τ$ appearance channel would give only a negligible contribution to the decay parameter constraints. Our numerical results are corroborated by analytical formulae for the appearance and disappearance probabilities in vacuum (which is a useful approximation for the study of the invisible decay model) that we have developed up to the second order in the solar mass splitting and to all orders in the decay factor $t/τ_3$.

description: Strong invariance principles in Markov chain Monte Carlo are crucial to theoretically grounded output analysis. Using the wide-sense regenerative nature of the process, we obtain explicit bounds in the strong invariance converging rates for partial sums of multivariate ergodic Markov chains. Consequently, we present results on the existence of strong invariance principles for both polynomially and geometrically ergodic Markov chains without requiring a 1-step minorization condition. Our tight and explicit rates have a direct impact on output analysis, as it allows the verification of important conditions in the strong consistency of certain variance estimators.

description: In this paper we provide new and convincing evidence on the presence and magnitude of feedback effects associated with “make work pay” policies currently under consideration in the US, Canada, the UK and other developed countries. We build a general equilibrium model of the labor market and use the model to study the effects of policies currently implemented in practice only as small-scale social experiments. The evidence from our model experiments is particularly compelling as we first test the partial equilibrium implications of our model using experimental data: in particular, we calibrate the model to the control group in a randomized experiment and find the model predicts the program group outcomes and the experimental impact estimates very well. We then use the model to quantify the effects of the experimental program introduced in general equilibrium. We apply our methodology to the evaluation of the Canadian Self-Sufficiency Project (SSP), a policy providing generous financial incentives for Income Assistance (IA) recipients to obtain stable employment. Our results reveal several important feedback effects associated with the SSP policy; taken together, these feedback effects reverse the cost-benefit conclusions implied by the partial equilibrium experimental evaluation. The substantial general equilibrium effects reported here are illustrative of the feedback effects that are likely to arise in a broad range of other programs that seek to “make work pay” through the subsidization of search and work.

description: This paper focuses on a challenging class of inverse problems that is often encountered in applications. The forward model is a complex non-linear black-box, potentially non-injective, whose outputs cover multiple decades in amplitude. Observations are supposed to be simultaneously damaged by additive and multiplicative noises and censorship. As needed in many applications, the aim of this work is to provide uncertainty quantification on top of parameter estimates. The resulting log-likelihood is intractable and potentially non-log-concave. An adapted Bayesian approach is proposed to provide credibility intervals along with point estimates. An MCMC algorithm is proposed to deal with the multimodal posterior distribution, even in a situation where there is no global Lipschitz constant (or it is very large). It combines two kernels, namely an improved version of (Preconditioned Metropolis Adjusted Langevin) PMALA and a Multiple Try Metropolis (MTM) kernel. Whenever smooth, its gradient admits a Lipschitz constant too large to be exploited in the inference process. This sampler addresses all the challenges induced by the complex form of the likelihood. The proposed method is illustrated on classical test multimodal distributions as well as on a challenging and realistic inverse problem in astronomy.

description: Core inflation is a useful concept for the theory and practice of monetary policy. The Bank of Canada maintains, in addition, that core inflation should be, and has in fact been, a useful predictor of headline inflation. Under the bank’s policy of inflation targeting, however, this is incorrect: over horizons of a year or more the best forecast should be the 2 percent target; and core inflation should have no predictive content. Post- 1995 evidence confirms this argument.

description: The Mug Share program at the University of British Columbia (UBC) is currently in the early stages of a pilot project, and this paper aims to help guide the growth of the initiative through researching scientific literature to assess the life cycle analysis of several mug options, providing examples of similar projects in other cities, and to propose a solution to the issue of mug security. A survey was conducted to receive feedback from program participants in order to gauge the current status of the pilot project, and to guide the research conducted. A Triple Bottom Line (TBL) analysis compares disposable and reusable cups as it is important to determine if reusable cups are worth using, followed by a more in depth look at the recommended choice of reusable, stainless steel mugs. Several case studies of similar programs are then conducted to provide insight on how the UBC Mug Share pilot project may proceed and ultimately an electronic tracking system is suggested to tackle the issues of mug security.

description: Recently Sarah Bockting-Conrad introduced the double lowering operator $ψ$ for a tridiagonal pair. Motivated by $ψ$ we consider the following problem about polynomials. Let $\mathbb F$ denote an algebraically closed field. Let $x$ denote an indeterminate, and let $\mathbb F\lbrack x \rbrack$ denote the algebra consisting of the polynomials in $x$ that have all coefficients in $\mathbb F$. Let $N$ denote a positive integer or $\infty$. Let $\lbrace a_i\rbrace_{i=0}^{N-1}$, $\lbrace b_i\rbrace_{i=0}^{N-1}$ denote scalars in $\mathbb F$ such that $\sum_{h=0}^{i-1} a_h \not= \sum_{h=0}^{i-1} b_h$ for $1 \leq i \leq N$. For $0 \leq i \leq N$ define polynomials $τ_i, η_i \in \mathbb F\lbrack x \rbrack$ by $τ_i = \prod_{h=0}^{i-1} (x-a_h)$ and $η_i = \prod_{h=0}^{i-1} (x-b_h)$. Let $V$ denote the subspace of $\mathbb F\lbrack x \rbrack$ spanned by $\lbrace x^i\rbrace_{i=0}^N$. An element $ψ\in \operatorname{End}(V)$ is called double lowering whenever $ψτ_i \in \mathbb F τ_{i-1}$ and $ψη_i \in \mathbb F η_{i-1}$ for $0 \leq i \leq N$, where $τ_{-1}=0$ and $η_{-1}=0$. We give necessary and sufficient conditions on $\lbrace a_i\rbrace_{i=0}^{N-1}$, $\lbrace b_i\rbrace_{i=0}^{N-1}$ for there to exist a nonzero double lowering map. There are four families of solutions, which we describe in detail.

description: We develop a linked cluster method to calculate the spectral weights of many-particle excitations at zero temperature. The dynamical structure factor is expressed as a sum of exclusive structure factors, each representing contributions from a given set of excited states. A linked cluster technique to obtain high order series expansions for these quantities is discussed. We apply these methods to the alternating Heisenberg chain around the dimerized limit ($λ=0$), where complete wavevector and frequency dependent spectral weights for one and two-particle excitations (continuum and bound-states) are obtained. For small to moderate values of the inter-dimer coupling parameter $λ$, these lead to extremely accurate calculations of the dynamical structure factors. We also examine the variation of the relative spectral weights of one and two-particle states with bond alternation all the way up to the limit of the uniform chain ($λ=1$). In agreement with Schmidt and Uhrig, we find that the spectral weight is dominated by 2-triplet states even at $λ=1$, which implies that a description in terms of triplet-pair excitations remains a good quantitative description of the system even for the uniform chain.

Orthorhombic-to-monoclinic transition in Ta$_2$NiSe$_5$ due to a zone-center optical phonon instability

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I study dynamical instabilities in Ta$_2$NiSe$_5$ using density functional theory based calculations. The calculated phonon dispersions show two unstable optical branches. All the acoustic branches are stable, which shows that an elastic instability is not the primary cause of the experimentally observed orthorhombic-to-monoclinic structural transition in this material. The largest instability of the optical branches occurs at the zone center, consistent with the experimental observation that the size of the unit cell does not multiply across the phase transition. The unstable modes have the irreps $B_{1g}$ and $B_{2g}$. Full structural relaxations minimizing both the forces and stresses find that the monoclinic $C2/c$ structure corresponding to the $B_{2g}$ instability has the lowest energy. Electronic structure calculations show that this low-symmetry structure has a sizable band gap. This suggest that a $B_{2g}$ zone-center optical phonon instability is the primary cause of the phase transition. An observation of a softening of a $B_{2g}$ zone-center phonon mode as the transition is approached from above would confirm the mechanism proposed here. If none of the $B_{2g}$ modes present in the material soften, this would imply that the transition is caused by electronic or elastic instability.

description: This paper studies corporate governance when a firm operates in imperfect markets. We derive firms’ decisions from utility maximisation by individuals. If those involved in decisions are also consumers the usual monopoly distortion is reduced. Corporate governance can effect the equilibrium in the product (or input) markets. This enables us to endogenise the objective function of the firm. If the firm cannot commit not to change its constitution, we find a Coase-like result where all market power is lost in the limit. We present a more abstract model of governance in the presence of market distortions.
The balanced states of mind model: Optimal cognitive balance and the consequences of excess positivity

description: The Balanced States of Mind model (BSOM; Schwartz, 1995) posits that people strive to maintain a balance between positive and negative thoughts and affects. According to this model, the optimal state of mind (SOM) is characterized by a specific ratio of positive to positive plus negative cognitions [P/P+N)], with deviations from this ratio resulting in varying levels of pathology. The model differentiates functional from dysfunctional SOM's, and distinguishes between normal balance of positive and negative thoughts, optimal balance, and excess positivity. Research on repressive coping styles (e.g., G. Schwartz, 1990; Weinberger, 1990) supports the BSOM's prediction that excess positivity may have negative consequences. While some people are undoubtedly as positive as they report, others may achieve high levels of positive thinking through the repression of negative experiences. Previous research has found that repressors are characterized by poorer psychological and physiological functioning as compared to nonrepressors. Applying this paradigm to the BSOM model suggests that people characterized by highly positive SOMs may actually include two subtypes, namely True Positive Thinkers (i.e., high SOM, low defensive people) and Repressors (i.e., high SOM, high defensive people). It follows that True Positive Thinkers and Repressors should differ on a variety of indices measuring psychological and physiological adaptation. This study aimed to provide a test of the BSOM model by exploring the relationship between psychological functioning and the quantitative parameters hypothesized to differentiate functional from dysfunctional individuals. A second objective of this project was to compare True Positive Thinkers with Repressors on psychological, behavioral, and physiological measures. 72 volunteers with highly positive SOM ratios (M = .85) completed a battery of questionnaires, a series of role-plays, and a thought-listing task. Salivary cortisol and heart rate data were also collected. Results support a linear relationship between SOM ratios and psychological adaptation. Findings did not evidence significant differences between Repressors and True Positive Thinkers across indices of psychological, behavioral, or physiological functioning. Implications for the BSOM model and for the measurement of SOM ratios are discussed.

description: The impressive flight capabilities of natural flyers have long fascinated humanity. Yet with aerodynamics varying significantly from larger man-made aircraft, the understanding necessary to construct analytical models describing their performance and manoeuvrability remains elusive. This thesis advances our knowledge of flapping wing flight on the scale of large insects to small birds with application to micro aerial vehicles through a study of flow dynamics towards the end of a stroke. This research is conducted through a combined experimental and computational program utilising simplified wing models, visualising the vortex fields associated with high performance and the resulting aerodynamic pressures and forces.

description: Deep Neural Networks (DNN) represent the state of the art in many tasks. However, due to their overparameterization, their generalization capabilities are in doubt and still a field under study. Consequently, DNN can overfit and assign overconfident predictions -- effects that have been shown to affect the calibration of the confidences assigned to unseen data. Data Augmentation (DA) strategies have been proposed to regularize these models, being Mixup one of the most popular due to its ability to improve the accuracy, the uncertainty quantification and the calibration of DNN. In this work however we argue and provide empirical evidence that, due to its fundamentals, Mixup does not necessarily improve calibration. Based on our observations we propose a new loss function that improves the calibration, and also sometimes the accuracy, of DNN trained with this DA technique. Our loss is inspired by Bayes decision theory and introduces a new training framework for designing losses for probabilistic modelling. We provide state-of-the-art accuracy with consistent improvements in calibration performance. Appendix and code are provided here: https://github.com/jmaronas/calibration_MixupDNN_ARCLoss.pytorch.git

description: In this thesis, we tackle real-world, model-constrained learning challenges involving dynamic systems and incomplete data. The goal is to predict and control hidden behaviours of dynamical systems. Our research introduces innovative methods using tensor-train techniques to solve this problem. Using our methods, one can explain complex systems and predict their possible evolution. In simpler terms, we are developing smart ways to understand and manipulate real-world systems even when we do not have all the pieces of the puzzle.

description: Сегодня по всему миру стремительно распространяется коронавирусная инфекция Covid-19, которая заставила многих по-другому посмотреть на различные области жизни общества, неотъемлемой частью которой является образование в вузах. Эта проблема не обошла стороной и нашу Республику. Главной насущной проблемой является организация дистанционного обучения студентов медицинских вузов [20]. В результате полного перехода к онлайн-обучению в последнее время изменился объем преподаваемого материала, резко ускорился процесс внедрения различных методик электронного обучения, а сами ранее известные цифровые технологии и технические решения прошли проверку на адекватность их применения в условиях значительно возросшей аудитории, одновременно получившей доступ к этим ресурсам [2]. Однако, в отличие от других специальностей, преподавание в медицинских вузах имеет свою специфику и трудности, а также требует пристального внимания преподавателей, потому что здесь речь идет о качественной подготовке будущих врачей-специалистов, в руках у которых будет находиться здоровье их будущих пациентов [12]. В связи с вышесказанным, рассмотрение методов дистанционного обучения студентов медицинских вузов на сегодняшний день крайне важно и актуально[13].
The balanced states of mind model: Optimal cognitive balance and the consequences of excess positivity
Creators: name: Friedman, Elisha Tarlow
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The Balanced States of Mind model (BSOM; Schwartz, 1995) posits that people strive to maintain a balance between positive and negative thoughts and affects. According to this model, the optimal state of mind (SOM) is characterized by a specific ratio of positive to positive plus negative cognitions [P/P+N)], with deviations from this ratio resulting in varying levels of pathology. The model differentiates functional from dysfunctional SOM's, and distinguishes between normal balance of positive and negative thoughts, optimal balance, and excess positivity. Research on repressive coping styles (e.g., G. Schwartz, 1990; Weinberger, 1990) supports the BSOM's prediction that excess positivity may have negative consequences. While some people are undoubtedly as positive as they report, others may achieve high levels of positive thinking through the repression of negative experiences. Previous research has found that repressors are characterized by poorer psychological and physiological functioning as compared to nonrepressors. Applying this paradigm to the BSOM model suggests that people characterized by highly positive SOMs may actually include two subtypes, namely True Positive Thinkers (i.e., high SOM, low defensive people) and Repressors (i.e., high SOM, high defensive people). It follows that True Positive Thinkers and Repressors should differ on a variety of indices measuring psychological and physiological adaptation. This study aimed to provide a test of the BSOM model by exploring the relationship between psychological functioning and the quantitative parameters hypothesized to differentiate functional from dysfunctional individuals. A second objective of this project was to compare True Positive Thinkers with Repressors on psychological, behavioral, and physiological measures. 72 volunteers with highly positive SOM ratios (M = .85) completed a battery of questionnaires, a series of role-plays, and a thought-listing task. Salivary cortisol and heart rate data were also collected. Results support a linear relationship between SOM ratios and psychological adaptation. Findings did not evidence significant differences between Repressors and True Positive Thinkers across indices of psychological, behavioral, or physiological functioning. Implications for the BSOM model and for the measurement of SOM ratios are discussed.
Stroop interference for threat: Pathognomonic or perfectly normal?
Creators: name: Harris, Katherine Moore
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Two experiments using a modified Stroop procedure demonstrated that people without anxiety disorders exhibited slowed color-naming responses (interference) for words that were important to them. In Experiment 1, sailors showed interference for sailing-related words and lacrosse players showed interference for lacrosse-related words. In Experiment 2, surgical residents showed interference for HIV-related words demonstrating that feared stimuli can cause Stroop interference in healthy controls. These results suggest that anxious patients' well-established slowed responses' for anxiety-related words on the Stroop task do not stem from cognitive-processing bias resulting from their emotional state as has been suggested (McNally, 1994; Mathews and MackIntosh, 1998). Instead, the Stroop interference, found for anxiety-related material in anxious patients, reflects the general tendency for people to take longer to color-name personally-relevant information as proposed by Riemann (1993).

GEORGIA AND THE SECRET PROJECT FOR REDISTRIBUTION EUROPE 70-80S OF THE 18TH CENTURY

description: global international project of the 70s-80s of the XVIII century envisaging a new distribution of Europe based on the areas of the Ottoman Empire is reviewed in the article. This topic acquires a final feature in a conceptual form in the correspondence between Catherine II and the Emperor of Austria and the Holy Roman Empire Josephus II under the name of "Greek Project". The Greek Project can be unequivocally considered as a key to the history of Georgia of 50s-80s of the XVIII century. A number of studies have shown that numerous problematic questions remain unanswered until the present day without considering the Greek Project. Patience and tolerance shown by the King of Kartli Kakheti Erekle II towards the Russian intrigues cannot be explained without the Greek Project. Georgia acquires qualitatively different and desired form of all time through the implementation of the Greek Project. The Greek Project is an attempt to create a Christian global political model, a political background that can serve as a precondition for the restoration of a real united Caucasian Home, ensuring a guarantee of irreversible development and security for all royal principalities and khanate in the Caucasus. This is the reason, the state oriented thinker Erekle II, avoids responding with aggression to the permanent intrigues of Russia. Erekle II tries to get involved in this great political game as a sovereign of a full-fledged political entity. Such attitude of Erekle is a guarantee of success for the Imperial Court of St. Petersburg. However, Russia chooses a completely different way confronting Erekle's benevolent alliance with hostile, imperial sentiments. The main message of these sentiments is that a united Caucasus, independent Georgian kingdoms for Russia is considered to be an anti-Russian phenomenon. This consistent and hostile attitude towards the Caucasus became the reason for the failure of Russian policy it could neither establish a model of Christian globalization nor neutralize the Ottomans. Therefore, the study and understanding of the referred problem is rather important to determine the directions and priorities of modern political processes.
MAGNN: Metapath Aggregated Graph Neural Network for Heterogeneous Graph Embedding

description: A large number of real-world graphs or networks are inherently heterogeneous, involving a diversity of node types and relation types. Heterogeneous graph embedding is to embed rich structural and semantic information of a heterogeneous graph into low-dimensional node representations. Existing models usually define multiple metapaths in a heterogeneous graph to capture the composite relations and guide neighbor selection. However, these models either omit node content features, discard intermediate nodes along the metapath, or only consider one metapath. To address these three limitations, we propose a new model named Metapath Aggregated Graph Neural Network (MAGNN) to boost the final performance. Specifically, MAGNN employs three major components, i.e., the node content transformation to encapsulate input node attributes, the intra-metapath aggregation to incorporate intermediate semantic nodes, and the inter-metapath aggregation to combine messages from multiple metapaths. Extensive experiments on three real-world heterogeneous graph datasets for node classification, node clustering, and link prediction show that MAGNN achieves more accurate prediction results than state-of-the-art baselines.
