description: Erroneous— Holanthus expergitus expergitus (Lovén, 1874)   Reports for the Azores:
 Hemiaster expergitus Lovén, 1874 — Agassiz 1881: 186; Mortensen 1907: 97–107, figs. 16–18, pl. 2, figs. 1, 4, 18, 20, pl. 4, figs. 6–8, 10–12, pl. 15, figs. 9, 16–18, 24, 26, 30–31, 35, 38, 44–45, 47–48, 50, 1927a: 323–324, figs. 186, 187.1, 1950: 387–389; Koehler 1909: 247; Gage et al. 1985: 186; Koukouras et al. 2007: 82.
 Type locality: Portugal (38°07’N, 9°18’W).
 See: Lovén (1874: 13–17); Mortensen (1907); Mironov (2014: 127).
 Occurrence: Mediterranean Sea and North Atlantic (Tortonese 1965), from the Davis Strait to the Caribbean and eastwards from Iceland to Namibia, including Cape Verde (Mortensen 1907, 1927a, b, 1950, Chesher 1966, Mironov 2014); other subspecies are reported from the Pacific and Indian Oceans (Serafy & Fell 1985).
 Depth: 380– 4,833 m (Serafy & Fell 1985), though mainly at depths below than 1,000 m (Grieg 1932).
 Habitat: buried about 12 cm from the surface of soft sediment (sand, mud to ooze; Farran 1913, Grieg 1932).
 Remarks: Lovén (1871) stated that he had found a new Hemiaster among the material collected at the Josephine Bank. Later, in the description of the species Lovén (1974) corrects to ‘c. Lisbon’, Portugal (Josephine: 38°07’N, 9°18’W, 970 m). Agassiz (1881) commented that H.M.S. Challenger also collected specimens of a Hemiaster near Lovén’s type locality, which Agassiz referred to as ‘near the Azores’. However, none of the two H.M.S. Challenger stations were located near the archipelago, but in Canaries (sta 8, off Gomera) and Brazilian waters (sta 126: 10°46’S, 36°08’W) instead. In the species distributional overview Agassiz (1881) does not mention the Azores and place Lovén’s and H.M.S. Challenger specimens where they were originally recorded. Whether subsequent references to the archipelago are related with the initial misprint by Agassiz or to another (unreported) record, we were unable to verify.

description: In heavy ion collision simulations many hadron states and/or parton degrees of freedom are included in order to obtain the observables. Meson spectroscopy, for example, considers the $0^{++}$ meson as a mixture of $q\bar{q}$ and glue. This fact is usually not considered in heavy ion collision physics. In the present work we consider two extreme possibilities for the constitution of the $0^{++}$ meson, either as a pure glueball or as $q\bar{q}$-meson. The scattering amplitude and cross-sections with constituent interchange are determined for the two situations. The comparison showed that the glueball-glueball elastic scattering cross-section for a color singlet state is between one to two orders of magnitude smaller than the corresponding $q\bar{q}$ state. The $2^{++}$ glueball-glueball interaction is also evaluated with similar behavior. Thus, glueball-glueball scattering is not very likely to introduce significant changes in heavy ion collision observables.

 Remarks: in his preliminary notes, Koehler (1895a: 224; 1895b: 228) identifies specimens taken in Azorean waters by Hirondelle and Princesse Alice as the Indo-Pacific H. luculentum. Later, Koehler changed his previous determination first in 1889 to P. uranus (Koehler, 1898) and finally in 1909 to Hygrosoma petersii (see also remarks under H. petersii).

description: We report the results of spectroscopic mapping observations carried out toward the Herbig-Haro objects HH7-11 and HH54 over the 5.2 - 37 micron region using the Infrared Spectrograph of the Spitzer Space Telescope. These observations have led to the detection and mapping of the S(0) - S(7) pure rotational lines of molecular hydrogen, together with emissions in fine structure transitions of Ne+, Si+, S, and Fe+. The H2 rotational emissions indicate the presence of warm gas with a mixture of temperatures in the range 400 - 1200 K, consistent with the expected temperature behind nondissociative shocks of velocity ~ 10 - 20 km/s, while the fine structure emissions originate in faster shocks of velocity 35 - 90 km/s that are dissociative and ionizing. Maps of the H2 line ratios reveal little spatial variation in the typical admixture of gas temperatures in the mapped regions, but show that the H2 ortho-to-para ratio is quite variable, typically falling substantially below the equilibrium value of 3 attained at the measured gas temperatures. The non-equilibrium ortho-to-para ratios are characteristic of temperatures as low as ~ 50 K, and are a remnant of an earlier epoch, before the gas temperature was elevated by the passage of a shock. Correlations between the gas temperature and H2 ortho-to-para ratio show that ortho-to-para ratios < 0.8 are attained only at gas temperatures below ~ 900 K; this behavior is consistent with theoretical models in which the conversion of para- to ortho-H2 behind the shock is driven by reactive collisions with atomic hydrogen, a process which possesses a substantial activation energy barrier (E_A/k ~ 4000 K) and is therefore very inefficient at low temperature.

description: Quantum computation has been growing rapidly in both theory and experiments. In particular, quantum computing devices with a large number of qubits have been developed by IBM, Google, IonQ, and others. The current quantum computing devices are noisy intermediate-scale quantum $($NISQ$)$ devices, and so approaches to validate quantum processing on these quantum devices are needed. One of the most common ways of validation for an n-qubit quantum system is quantum tomography, which tries to reconstruct a quantum system's density matrix by a complete set of observables. However, the inherent noise in the quantum systems and the intrinsic limitations poses a critical challenge to precisely know the actual measurement operators which make quantum tomography impractical in experiments. Here, we propose an alternative approach to quantum tomography, based on the maximal information entropy, that can predict the values of unknown observables based on the available mean measurement data. This can then be used to reconstruct the density matrix with high fidelity even though the results for some observables are missing. Of additional contexts, a practical approach to the inference of the quantum mechanical state using only partial information is also needed.

description: Augmenting the unitary transformation which generates a quantum walk by a generalized phase gate G is a symmetry for both noisy and noiseless quantum walk on a line, in the sense that it leaves the position probability distribution invariant. However, this symmetry breaks down in the case of a quantum walk on an n-cycle, and hence can be regarded as a probe of the walk topology. Noise, modelled here as phase flip and generalized amplitude damping channels, tends to restore the symmetry because it classicalizes the walk. However, symmetry restoration happens even in the regime where the walker is not entirely classical, because noise also has the effect of desensitizing the operation G to the walk topology. We discuss methods for physical implementation, and talk about the wider implications to condensed matter systems.

description: In a series of previous papers, we have presented a new approach, based on perturbative QCD, for the evolution of a jet in a dense quark-gluon plasma. In the original formulation, the plasma was assumed to be homogeneous and static. In this work, we extend our description and its Monte Carlo implementation to a plasma obeying Bjorken longitudinal expansion. Our key observation is that the factorisation between vacuum-like and medium-induced emissions, derived in the static case, still holds for an expanding medium, albeit with modified rates for medium-induced emissions and transverse momentum broadening, and with a modified phase-space for vacuum-like emissions. We highlight a scaling relation valid for the energy spectrum of medium-induced emissions, through which the case of an expanding medium is mapped onto an effective static medium. We find that scaling violations due to vacuum-like emissions and transverse momentum broadening are numerically small. Our new predictions for the nuclear modification factor for jets $R_{AA}$, the in-medium fragmentation functions, and substructure distributions are very similar to our previous estimates for a static medium, maintaining the overall good qualitative agreement with existing LHC measurements. In the case of $R_{AA}$, we find that the agreement with the data is significantly improved at large transverse momenta $p_T\gtrsim 500$ GeV after including the effects of the nuclear parton distribution functions.

Such a representation is increasingly necessary as explainability has become an important problem in Artificial Intelligence with the emergence of complex methods and an uptake in high-precision and user-facing settings. In this submission, we provide step-by-step guidance for system designers to utilize our ontology, introduced in our resource track paper, to plan and model for explanations during the design of their Artificial Intelligence systems. We also provide a detailed example with our utilization of this guidance in a clinical setting.

description: This paper presents the idea ofmono-nizingbinocular videos and a frame-work to effectively realize it. Mono-nize means we purposely convert abinocular video into a regular monocular video with the stereo informationimplicitly encoded in a visual but nearly-imperceptible form. Hence, wecan impartially distribute and show the mononized video as an ordinarymonocular video. Unlike ordinary monocular videos, we can restore from itthe original binocular video and show it on a stereoscopic display. To start,we formulate an encoding-and-decoding framework with the pyramidal de-formable fusion module to exploit long-range correspondences between theleft and right views, a quantization layer to suppress the restoring artifacts,and the compression noise simulation module to resist the compressionnoise introduced by modern video codecs. Our framework is self-supervised,as we articulate our objective function with loss terms defined on the input:a monocular term for creating the mononized video, an invertibility termfor restoring the original video, and a temporal term for frame-to-framecoherence. Further, we conducted extensive experiments to evaluate ourgenerated mononized videos and restored binocular videos for diverse typesof images and 3D movies. Quantitative results on both standard metrics anduser perception studies show the effectiveness of our method.

description: We analyze a fairly standard idealization of Pollard's Rho algorithm for finding the discrete logarithm in a cyclic group G. It is found that, with high probability, a collision occurs in $O(\sqrt{|G|\log |G| \log \log |G|})$ steps, not far from the widely conjectured value of $Θ(\sqrt{|G|})$. This improves upon a recent result of Miller--Venkatesan which showed an upper bound of $O(\sqrt{|G|}\log^3 |G|)$. Our proof is based on analyzing an appropriate nonreversible, non-lazy random walk on a discrete cycle of (odd) length |G|, and showing that the mixing time of the corresponding walk is $O(\log |G| \log \log |G|)$.

description: Nearby dwarf galaxies exhibit tight correlations between their global stellar and dynamical properties, such as circular velocity, mass-to-light ratio, stellar mass, surface brightness, and metallicity. Such correlations have often been attributed to gas or metal-rich outflows driven by supernova energy feedback to the interstellar medium. We use high-resolution cosmological simulations of high-redshift galaxies with and without energy feedback, as well as analytic modeling, to investigate whether the observed correlations can arise without supernova-driven outflows. We find that the simulated dwarf galaxies exhibit correlations similar to those observed as early as z~10, regardless of whether supernova feedback is included. We also show that the correlations can be well reproduced by our analytic model that accounts for realistic gas inflow but assumes no outflows, and star formation rate obeying the Kennicutt-Schmidt law with a critical density threshold. We argue that correlations in simulated galaxies arise due to the increasingly inefficient conversion of gas into stars in low-mass dwarf galaxies rather than supernova-driven outflows. We also show that the decrease of the observed effective yield in low-mass objects, often used as an indicator of gas and metal outflows, can be reasonably reproduced in our simulations without outflows. We show that this trend can arise if a significant fraction of metals in small galaxies is spread to the outer regions of the halo outside the stellar extent via mixing. In this case the effective yield can be significantly underestimated if only metals within the stellar radius are taken into account. Measurements of gas metallicity in the outskirts of gaseous disks of dwarfs would thus provide a key test of such explanation.

An investigation into the functions of school boards in British Columbia
Creators: name: Gilbert, James Philip
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The significance of school districts as an object of study lies in the direct manner in which the provision of public education serves the needs of society and is, in fact, a societal undertaking. Public schooling is a major instrument for the expression of the public will in a democratic society, and the school system both models and maintains the essential attributes of that society. As a result, school districts, the basic structural unit in the organization and operation of public schools in Canada, create records which reflect the educational values and concerns of this society at the most fundamental level. Because the effective administration of education requires that records be kept, sometimes by law, it is essential to analyze the functions of school boards as a means of understanding the records they produce and their significance. The aim of this study is to identify and synthesize those facts, laws, historical developments, functions, and competencies common to the local administration of education in British Columbia with the express purpose of establishing a framework in and through which the archival control of their records may be examined. This analysis is undertaken in accordance with the archival methodology of functional analysis. The need to examine and understand the legal foundation upon which school districts and their controlling boards rests is critical because so many of their activities are largely determined by law. Accordingly, the thesis begins with an analysis of the legal framework of school district activity and shows that as political and legal entities school districts are considered to be provincial agents, albeit acting in a local capacity, with the status of quasi-municipal corporations. From this point of departure, an analysis of the relevant statute law, common law, and administrative law is then undertaken in order to determine the historical evolution of British Columbia school boards, their mandate and their functions. This examination reveals that each school board shares three primary or governing functions (legislative, judicial, and executive) and two management functions (education administration and business administration). The thesis concludes by offering an evaluation of the implications of this study for archival practice through an examination of several issues related to the archival management of school board records as well as the reasons for their permanent preservation by an archival agency.

description: Explainability has been a goal for Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems since their conception, with the need for explainability growing as more complex AI models are increasingly used in critical, high-stakes settings such as healthcare. Explanations have often added to an AI system in a non-principled, post-hoc manner. With greater adoption of these systems and emphasis on user-centric explainability, there is a need for a structured representation that treats explainability as a primary consideration, mapping end user needs to specific explanation types and the system's AI capabilities. We design an explanation ontology to model both the role of explanations, accounting for the system and user attributes in the process, and the range of different literature-derived explanation types. We indicate how the ontology can support user requirements for explanations in the domain of healthcare. We evaluate our ontology with a set of competency questions geared towards a system designer who might use our ontology to decide which explanation types to include, given a combination of users' needs and a system's capabilities, both in system design settings and in real-time operations. Through the use of this ontology, system designers will be able to make informed choices on which explanations AI systems can and should provide.

 Type locality: ? Cape of S„o Vicente, Portugal.
 See: Duncan (1877: 256–257, as Salenia profundi); Mortensen (1935).
 Occurrence: Northeast Atlantic, from Iceland (Faroe-Iceland banks) and the Bay of Biscay to the Canaries (Mortensen 1935); reported elsewhere from Tristan da Cunha and Indonesia (Mironov 2014).
 Depth: 1,700–3,470 m (Mironov 2014).
 Habitat: soft sediments (Grieg 1932).
 Remarks: the geographic distribution of Salenocidaris profundi in the Atlantic is poorly understood due to frequent misidentifications in the literature. Some authors such as H.L. Clark (1925) considered the possibility of this species being conspecific with other Atlantic species, such as S. varispina and S. hastigera. Mortensen (1935) stated that the latter species was restricted to the Pacific and transferred all reports of S. hastigera in the Atlantic to S. profundi. Recently, Mironov (2006, 2014) confirmed the occurrence of S. hastigera in the Atlantic including the Azores. If all the reports for the archipelago are traced back to original records by Koehler (1895a, 1895b, 1898, 1909) no record of S. profundi sensu stricto remains in the archipelago. See remarks under S. hastigera.

description: The Fermi surface topology of the shape-memory alloy Ni[0.62]Al[0.38] has been determined using Compton scattering. A large area of this Fermi surface can be made to nest with other areas by translation through a vector of ~ 0.18 [1,1,0] (2pi/a), which correponds to the wavevector associated with martensitic precursor phenomena such as phonon softening and diffuse streaking in electron diffraction patterns. This observation is compelling evidence that these phenomena are driven by the enhanced electron-lattice coupling due to the Fermi surface nesting.

description: The standard model of afterglow production by the forward shock wave is not supported by recent observations. We propose a model in which the forward shock is invisible and afterglow is emitted by a long-lived reverse shock in the burst ejecta. It explains observed optical and X-ray light curves, including the plateau at 10^3-10^4 s with a peculiar chromatic break, and the second break that was previously associated with a beaming angle of the explosion. The plateau forms following a temporary drop of the reverse-shock pressure much below the forward-shock pressure. A simplest formalism that can describe such blast waves is the ``mechanical'' model (Beloborodov, Uhm 2006); we use it in our calculations.

Clark 1917: 234; Nobre 1938: 127–128, fig. 55; Harvey 1956: 67; Micael et al. 2012: 4.
 See: Mortensen (1951b: 10–14); Schultz (2006: 427–428, figs. 802–804).
 Occurrence: Northeast Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea (Tortonese 1965), from Iceland and Scandinavia along European and African coasts to Senegal (Mortensen 1951b); possibly also occurring in Cape Verde and Angola (Mortensen 1951a).
 Depth: 0–900 m (Koehler 1914b).
 Habitat: soft substrates, preferably on coarse sand or gravel, in which it lies wholly buried where it feeds on all sorts of bottom particles and organisms (Mortensen 1927a).
 Larval stage: planktotrophic (c. 3 weeks; Mortensen 1913).
 Remarks: Agassiz (1881) identified the species Spatangus purpureus among the material collected by H.M.S. Challenger (sta 75: 38°37’N, 28°30’W, 92–165 m) in Azorean waters (no description was given). However, the existence of such specimen(s) could not be confirmed by H.L. Clark (1925) or Mortensen (1951b). Furthermore, the only other H.M.S. Challenger specimen identified by Agassiz (1881) as belonging to this species (off Bermuda) later proved to be a misidentification (see Mortensen 1907). Thus, the presence in the Azores of S. purpureus remains unconfirmed.

description: Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are standardizable candles, but for over a decade, there has been a debate on how to properly account for their correlations with host galaxy properties. Using the Bayesian hierarchical model UNITY, we simultaneously fit for the SN Ia light curve and host galaxy standardization parameters on a set of 103 Sloan Digital Sky Survey II SNe Ia. We investigate the influences of host stellar mass, along with both localized ($r<3$ kpc) and host-integrated average stellar ages, derived from stellar population synthesis modeling. We find that the standardization for the light-curve shape ($α$) is correlated with host galaxy standardization terms ($γ_i$) requiring simultaneous fitting. In addition, we find that these correlations themselves are dependent on host galaxy stellar mass that includes a shift in the color term ($β$) of $0.8 \mathrm{mag}$, only significant at $1.2σ$ due to the small sample. We find a linear host mass standardization term at the $3.7σ$ level, that by itself does not significantly improve the precision of an individual SN Ia distance. However, a standardization that uses both stellar mass and average local stellar age is found to be significant at $>3σ$ in the two-dimensional posterior space. In addition, the unexplained scatter of SNe Ia absolute magnitude post standardization, is reduced from $0.122^{+0.019}_{-0.018}$ to $0.109\pm0.017$ mag, or $\sim10\%$. We do not see similar improvements when using global ages. This combination is consistent with either metallicity or line-of-sight dust affecting the observed luminosity of SNe Ia.

Στην παρούσα εργασία εξετάστηκε το πρόβλημα της ημερήσιας και βραχυπρόθεσμης πρόβλεψης της κατανάλωσης φυσικού αερίου στην περιοχή της Θεσσαλονίκης και στην περιφέρεια της Θεσσαλίας, στην Ελλάδα. Αναλύονται τα αποτελέσματα που επετεύχθησαν με διάφορους αλγορίθμους μάθησης και πολλαπλές πηγές χαρακτηριστικών (ιστορικά, καιρικά, χρονικά δεδομένα). Τα καλύτερα μοντέλα κατάφεραν να προβλέψουν την κατανάλωση με ανεκτό επίπεδο σφάλματος, ξεπερνώντας την απόδοση των ήδη υπαρχόντων μοντέλων των εταιρειών. Αυτά τα μοντέλα ενσωματώθηκαν σε ένα σύστημα υποστήριξης αποφάσεων που αναπτύχθηκε σε συνεργασία με τις εταιρείες παροχής αερίου της Θεσσαλονίκης και της Θεσσαλίας.
description: Accurate forecasting of natural gas consumption is important for supply planning at the national and city level and for the general energy strategy of a government. This thesis examined the problem of daily and short-term natural gas consumption prediction in the metropolitan area of Thessaloniki and in the region of Thessaly, Greece. Τhe results that were achieved with a variety of learning algorithms and multiple sources of predictive features (historical data, weather data, temporal data) are discussed. The best models manage to predict consumption at an acceptable level of error, surpassing the performance of the existing company model. These models were embedded in a decision support system that was developed in collaboration with the gas distribution companies of Thessaloniki and Thessaly.

description: In this note we analyse the equations of motion of a minimally coupled Rarita-Schwinger field near the horizon of an anti-de Sitter-Schwarzschild geometry. We find that at special complex values of the frequency and momentum there exist two independent regular solutions that are ingoing at the horizon. These special points in Fourier space are associated with the `pole-skipping' phenomenon in thermal two-point functions of operators that are holographically dual to the bulk fields. We find that the leading pole-skipping point is located at a positive imaginary frequency with the distance from the origin being equal to half of the Lyapunov exponent for maximally chaotic theories.

description: Personalized review generation (PRG) aims to automatically produce review text reflecting user preference, which is a challenging natural language generation task. Most of previous studies do not explicitly model factual description of products, tending to generate uninformative content. Moreover, they mainly focus on word-level generation, but cannot accurately reflect more abstractive user preference in multiple aspects. To address the above issues, we propose a novel knowledge-enhanced PRG model based on capsule graph neural network~(Caps-GNN). We first construct a heterogeneous knowledge graph (HKG) for utilizing rich item attributes. We adopt Caps-GNN to learn graph capsules for encoding underlying characteristics from the HKG. Our generation process contains two major steps, namely aspect sequence generation and sentence generation. First, based on graph capsules, we adaptively learn aspect capsules for inferring the aspect sequence. Then, conditioned on the inferred aspect label, we design a graph-based copy mechanism to generate sentences by incorporating related entities or words from HKG. To our knowledge, we are the first to utilize knowledge graph for the PRG task. The incorporated KG information is able to enhance user preference at both aspect and word levels. Extensive experiments on three real-world datasets have demonstrated the effectiveness of our model on the PRG task.

description: We recall how parton distributions are constructed in a statistical physical picture of the nucleon. The chiral properties of QCD lead to strong relations between quarks and antiquarks distributions and the importance of the Pauli exclusion principle is also emphasized. A global next-to-leading order QCD analysis of unpolarized and polarized deep-inelastic scattering data allows to determine a small number of free parameters. Some predictions are compared to recent experimental results and we discuss the prospects of this physical framework.

description: We survey recent results on some one- and two-dimensional patterns generated by random permutations of natural numbers. In the first part, we discuss properties of random walks, evolving on a one-dimensional regular lattice in discrete time $n$, whose moves to the right or to the left are induced by the rise-and-descent sequence associated with a given random permutation. We determine exactly the probability of finding the trajectory of such a permutation-generated random walk at site $X$ at time $n$, obtain the probability measure of different excursions and define the asymptotic distribution of the number of "U-turns" of the trajectories - permutation "peaks" and "through". In the second part, we focus on some statistical properties of surfaces obtained by randomly placing natural numbers $1,2,3, >...,L$ on sites of a 1d or 2d square lattices containing $L$ sites. We calculate the distribution function of the number of local "peaks" - sites the number at which is larger than the numbers appearing at nearest-neighboring sites - and discuss some surprising collective behavior emerging in this model.

description: Space-based X-ray detectors are subject to significant fluxes of charged particles in orbit, notably energetic cosmic ray protons, contributing a significant background. We develop novel machine learning algorithms to detect charged particle events in next-generation X-ray CCDs and DEPFET detectors, with initial studies focusing on the Athena Wide Field Imager (WFI) DEPFET detector. We train and test a prototype convolutional neural network algorithm and find that charged particle and X-ray events are identified with a high degree of accuracy, exploiting correlations between pixels to improve performance over existing event detection algorithms. 99 per cent of frames containing a cosmic ray are identified and the neural network is able to correctly identify up to 40 per cent of the cosmic rays that are missed by current event classification criteria, showing potential to significantly reduce the instrumental background, and unlock the full scientific potential of future X-ray missions such as Athena, Lynx and AXIS.

description: We discuss various aspects of most general multisupport solutions to matrix models in the presence of hard walls, i.e., in the case where the eigenvalue support is confined to subdomains of the real axis. The structure of the solution at the leading order is described by semiclassical, or generalized Whitham--Krichever hierarchies as in the unrestricted case. Derivatives of tau-functions for these solutions are associated with families of Riemann surfaces (with possible double points) and satisfy the Witten--Dijkgraaf--Verlinde--Verlinde equations. We then develop the diagrammatic technique for finding free energy of this model in all orders of the 't~Hooft expansion in the reciprocal matrix size generalizing the Feynman diagrammatic technique for the Hermitian one-matrix model due to Eynard.
