description: The Nath sampradāy, a community whose early Hindavi literature propagates a selfhood which is deeply enmeshed in both Hindu and Islamic traditions, has been at the forefront of Hindu right-wing agitations in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Examining an extensive vernacular corpus of texts–– from seventeenth-century manuscripts to twentieth-century printed books–– this dissertation investigates the changes that took place in the Nath community over the longue dureé. Analyzing this oeuvre, along with historical records, I explore both how the yogis portrayed themselves in their literature and how they were viewed by others. Specifically, this dissertation addresses how modern technologies and ideologies–– such as print, nationalism, and democracy–– merged to help create a more rigidly Hindu identity for the sampradāy in the twentieth century: a novel selfhood unlike the one previously propagated. In particular, it examines how the influential twentieth-century leader of the Goraknath temple in Gorakhpur, Mahant Digvijaynath, reimagined his Nath identity to make his community a center of Hindutvā politics in modern India.

description: This article studies rational and persistent deception among intelligent robots to enhance security and operational efficiency. We present an N-player K-stage game with an asymmetric information structure where each robot's private information is modeled as a random variable or its type. The deception is persistent as each robot's private type remains unknown to other robots for all stages. The deception is rational as robots aim to achieve their deception goals at minimum cost. Each robot forms a dynamic belief of others' types based on intrinsic or extrinsic information. Perfect Bayesian Nash equilibrium (PBNE) is a natural solution concept for dynamic games of incomplete information. Due to its requirements of sequential rationality and belief consistency, PBNE provides a reliable prediction of players' actions, beliefs, and expected cumulative costs over the entire K stages. The contribution of this work is fourfold. First, we identify the PBNE computation as a nonlinear stochastic control problem and characterize the structures of players' actions and costs under PBNE. We further derive a set of extended Riccati equations with cognitive coupling under the linear-quadratic (LQ) setting and extrinsic belief dynamics. Second, we develop a receding-horizon algorithm with low temporal and spatial complexity to compute PBNE under intrinsic belief dynamics. Third, we investigate a deceptive pursuit-evasion game as a case study and use numerical experiments to corroborate the results. Finally, we propose metrics, such as deceivability, reachability, and the price of deception (PoD), to evaluate the strategy design and the system performance under deception.

description: The emission in the near ultraviolet Ca II H&K lines, often quantified via the S-index, has been serving as a prime proxy of solar and stellar magnetic activity. Despite the broad usage of the S-index, the link between the coverage of a stellar disk by magnetic features and Ca II H&K emission is not fully understood. In order to fill this gap we developed a physics-based model to calculate the solar S-index. To this end, we made use of the distributions of the solar magnetic features derived from the simulations of magnetic flux emergence and surface transport, together with the Ca II H&K spectra synthesized using a non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (non-LTE) radiative transfer code. We show that the value of the solar S-index is influenced by the inclination angle between the solar rotation axis and the observer’s line-of-sight, i.e. the solar S-index values obtained by an out-of-ecliptic observer are different from those obtained by an ecliptic-bound observer. This is important for comparing the magnetic activity of the Sun to other stars. We computed time series of the S-index as they would be observed at various inclinations dating back to 1700. We find that depending on the inclination and period of observations, the activity cycle in solar S-index can appear weaker or stronger than in stars with a solar-like level of magnetic activity. We show that there is nothing unusual about the solar chromospheric emission variations in the context of stars with near-solar magnetic activity.

description: An important task in the simulation of hard spheres and other hard particles is structure prediction via equilibration. Event-driven molecular dynamics is efficient because its Newtonian dynamics equilibrates fluctuations with the speed of sound. Monte Carlo simulation is efficient if performed with correlated position updates in event chains. Here, we combine the core concepts of molecular dynamics and event chains into a new algorithm involving Newtonian event chains. Measurements of the diffusion coefficient, nucleation rate, and melting speed demonstrate that Newtonian event chains outperform other algorithms. Newtonian event chains scale well to large systems and can be extended to anisotropic hard particles without approximations.

Tangent Graeffe Iteration

Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)

description: Graeffe iteration was the choice algorithm for solving univariate polynomials in the XIX-th and early XX-th century. In this paper, a new variation of Graeffe iteration is given, suitable to IEEE floating-point arithmetics of modern digital computers. We prove that under a certain generic assumption the proposed algorithm converges. We also estimate the error after N iterations and the running cost. The main ideas from which this algorithm is built are: classical Graeffe iteration and Newton Diagrams, changes of scale (renormalization), and replacement of a difference technique by a differentiation one. The algorithm was implemented successfully and a number of numerical experiments are displayed.

description: We study the behaviour of the normal derivative of eigenfunctions of the Helmholtz equation inside billiards with Dirichlet boundary condition. These boundary functions are of particular importance because they uniquely determine the eigenfunctions inside the billiard and also other physical quantities of interest. Therefore they form a reduced representation of the quantum system, analogous to the Poincaré section of the classical system. For the normal derivatives we introduce an equivalent to the standard Green function and derive an integral equation on the boundary. Based on this integral equation we compute the first two terms of the mean asymptotic behaviour of the boundary functions for large energies. The first term is universal and independent of the shape of the billiard. The second one is proportional to the curvature of the boundary. The asymptotic behaviour is compared with numerical results for the stadium billiard, different limacon billiards and the circle billiard, and good agreement is found. Furthermore we derive an asymptotic completeness relation for the boundary functions.

description: This paper explores how social networks and government institutions work in rural land markets, with a special focus on the role of brokers. For this purpose, insights from New Economic Sociology (NES) and New Institutional Economics (NIE) are combined to build a theoretical framework, and a Social Network Analysis is applied to individual case studies. Specifically, two parishes in Scotland, where dynamic land pattern changes can be observed, were investigated. After the land market network for each parish was identified, the connections between actors were traced followed by in-depth interviews. The paper particularly examines the role of brokers in relation to the information flow and discusses their impacts on transaction costs in rural land markets. Preliminary results highlight the dominant channels in the market, i.e. informal networks with private agents involved, which support the NES position, as well as the work of a government matching scheme which reflects the NIE position. In both cases, the findings show that brokers can contribute to reducing the search and negotiation costs of land transactions through building trustworthy relationships with stakeholders.

description: The general expression for the local matrix $t(θ)$ of a quantum chain with the site space in any representation of su(3) is obtained. This is made by generalizing $t(θ)$ from the fundamental representation and imposing the fulfillment of the Yang-Baxter equation. Then, a non-homogeneous spin chain combining different representations of su(3) is solved by developing a method inspired in the nested Bethe ansatz. The solution for the eigenvalues of the trace of the monodromy matrix is given as two coupled Bethe equations. A conjecture about the solution of a chain with the site states in different representations of su(n) is presented. The thermodynamic limit of the ground state is calculated.

This also provides an introduction to our 1997 formulation based on quantum group frame bundles. We outline now the local formulae with general differential calculus both on the base `quantum manifold' and on the structure group Gauge transforms with nonuniversal calculi, Dirac operator, Levi-Civita condition, Ricci tensor and other topics are also covered. As an application we outline an intrinsic or relative theory of quantum measurement and propose it as a possible framework to explore the link between gravity in quantum systems and entropy.

Learning semantic sentence representations from visually grounded language without lexical knowledge

Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)

description: Current approaches to learning semantic representations of sentences often use prior word-level knowledge. The current study aims to leverage visual information in order to capture sentence level semantics without the need for word embeddings. We use a multimodal sentence encoder trained on a corpus of images with matching text captions to produce visually grounded sentence embeddings. Deep Neural Networks are trained to map the two modalities to a common embedding space such that for an image the corresponding caption can be retrieved and vice versa. We show that our model achieves results comparable to the current state-of-the-art on two popular image-caption retrieval benchmark data sets: MSCOCO and Flickr8k. We evaluate the semantic content of the resulting sentence embeddings using the data from the Semantic Textual Similarity benchmark task and show that the multimodal embeddings correlate well with human semantic similarity judgements. The system achieves state-of-the-art results on several of these benchmarks, which shows that a system trained solely on multimodal data, without assuming any word representations, is able to capture sentence level semantics. Importantly, this result shows that we do not need prior knowledge of lexical level semantics in order to model sentence level semantics. These findings demonstrate the importance of visual information in semantics.

description: Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a Lie algebra in characteristic zero equipped with a vector space decomposition $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{g}^-\oplus \mathfrak{g}^+$, and let $s$ and $t$ be commuting formal variables. We prove that the Campbell-Baker-Hausdorff map $C:s\mathfrak{g}^- [[s,t]]\times t\mathfrak{g}^+[[s,t]]\to s\mathfrak{g}^-[[s,t]]\oplus t\mathfrak{g}^+[[s,t]]$ given by $e^{sg^-}e^{tg^+}=e^{C(sg^-,tg^+)}$ for $g^\pm\in\mathfrak{g}^\pm[[s,t]]$ is a bijection, as is well known when $\mathfrak{g}$ is finite-dimensional over $\mathbb{R}$ or $\mathbb{C}$, by geometry. It follows that there exist unique $Ψ^\pm\in\mathfrak{g}^\pm[[s,t]]$ such that $e^{tg^+}e^{sg^-}= e^{sΨ^-}e^{tΨ^+}$ (also well known in the finite-dimensional geometric setting). We apply this to $\mathfrak{g}$ consisting of certain formal infinite series with coefficients in a Lie algebra $\mathfrak{p}$. For $\mathfrak{p}$ the Virasoro algebra (resp., a Grassmann envelope of the Neveu-Schwarz superalgebra), the result was first proved by Huang (resp., Barron) as a step in the construction of a (super)geometric formulation of the notion of vertex operator (super)algebra. For the Virasoro (resp., N=1 Neveu-Schwarz) algebra with zero central charge the result gives the precise expansion of the uniformizing function for a sphere (resp., supersphere) with tubes resulting from the sewing of two spheres (resp., superspheres) with tubes in two-dimensional genus-zero holomorphic conformal (resp., N = 1 superconformal) field theory. The general result places such uniformization problems into a broad formal algebraic context.

description: Existing research on party behaviour has largely focused on the drivers of issue salience in direct party communication. However, less is known about party‒issue linkages in election campaigns covered by the mass media, from which most voters get their information about party positions. Against this background, this article explores how two important drivers of issue salience in direct party communication – issue ownership and systemic salience – play out in the media. Based on considerations about the news value of specific party‒issue associations, one would expect both relationships to be particularly important in the media. Despite substantial similarities in party‒issue linkages across platforms, a comparison of manifestos and newspaper content reveals evidence for this claim. In particular, smaller parties are hardly covered in the news on issues they do not own, while large parties are especially covered on salient topics. These findings contribute to our understanding of issue competition in mediated environments.

description: This study evaluates the antioxidant potential of Hydrocotyle bonariensis (a traditional medicinal plant) in alleviating oxidative stress in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 2 diabetic rats. Diabetic models were created using a high-fat diet and low-dose STZ (35 mg/kg), followed by a 4-week dietary intervention with H. bonariensis-incorporated feed. Proximate analysis revealed the plant’s composition (54.76% carbohydrates, 15.05% protein, 12.19% fiber) and bioactive phytochemicals (flavonoids, alkaloids). Results showed elevated lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde: 6.17 µmol/g liver, 3.03 µmol/g kidney) in diabetic rats, which decreased significantly with H. bonariensis treatment (1.90 µmol/g liver, 3.03 µmol/g kidney). While the plant reduced oxidative damage, it did not normalize hyperglycemia. Diabetic rats lost 41.2% body weight, whereas treated groups exhibited gradual recovery. The study concludes that H. bonariensis may serve as an adjunct therapy for diabetes-related oxidative complications, though further research is needed to isolate active compounds and optimize dosing.

description: This thesis presents an improved feedback system on HBT-EP and suppression of the fast rotating kink mode using this system. HBT-EP is an experimental tokamak at Columbia University designed to study the magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) instabilities in confined fusion. The most damaging instabilities are global long wavelength kink modes, which break the toroidal symmetry of the magnetic structure and lead to plasma disruption and termination. When a tokamak is surrounded by a close fitting conducting wall, then the  single helicity linear dispersion relation of the kink instability has two  ominating branches: one is the "slow mode", rotating at the time scale of wall time, known as resistive wall mode (RWM), the other is the fast mode, that becomes unstable near the ideal wall stability limit. Both instabilities are required to be controlled by the feedback system in HBT-EP. In this thesis, improvements have been made upon the previous GPU-based system to enhance the feedback performance and obtain clear evidence of the feedback suppression effect. Specifically, a new algorithm is implemented that maintains an accurate phase shift between the applied perturbation and the unstable mode. This prevents the excitation of the slow kink mode observed in previous studies and results in high gain suppression for fast mode control at all frequency for the first time. When the system is turned off, suppression is lost and the fast mode is observed to grow back. The feedback performance is tested with several wall configurations including the presence of ferritic material. This provides the first comparison of feedback control between the ferritic and stainless wall. The effect of plasma rotation on feedback control is tested by applying a static voltage on a bias probe. As the mode rotation being slowed by the radial current flow, a higher gain on the kink mode is required to achieve feedback suppression. The change in plasma rotation also modifies the plasma response to the external perturbation. The optimal phase shift for suppression changes with the modified response and these observations are consistent with the predictions of the single helicity model.

description: This work concerns the use of engineered genetic tools to build maps of the mammalian nervous system. Within the practice of circuit neuroscience, one of the most effective tools to emerge in recent years are the neurotropic viruses. Among these are modified strains of rabies virus which are made safe for laboratory use. We introduce here a novel form of engineered rabies virus with substantially improved utility for exploring the structure and function of neural circuits. Additionally, using this new tool, an investigation of an important motor circuit, the cortico-striatal circuit, is presented.

description: We derive an alternative to the Wetterich-Morris-Ellwanger equation by means of the two-particle irreducible (2PI) effective action, exploiting the method of external sources due to Garbrecht and Millington. The latter allows the two-point source of the 2PI effective action to be associated consistently with the regulator of the renormalization group flow. We show that this procedure leads to a flow equation that differs from that obtained in the standard approach based on the average one-particle irreducible effective action.

description: A Chern-Simons action for supergravity in odd-dimensional spacetimes is proposed. For all odd dimensions, the local symmetry group is a non trivial supersymmetric extension of the Poincaré group. In $2+1$ dimensions the gauge group reduces to super-Poincaré, while for $D=5$ it is super-Poincaré with a central charge. In general, the extension is obtained by the addition of a 1-form field which transforms as an antisymmetric fifth-rank tensor under Lorentz rotations. Since the Lagrangian is a Chern-Simons density for the supergroup, the supersymmetry algebra closes off shell without the need of auxiliary fields.

title: A Critical Investigation into Whole System Transitions to Low Carbon Futures and New Sources of Energy Flexibility in Great Britain's Electricity Sector
Creators: name: Nguyen, Mai Ngoc
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2021

description: Great Britain’s (GB) electricity sector is transitioning to low carbon futures in response to various pressures including legally binding carbon emission targets while ensuring security of supply. Such transitions are likely to focus on a mix of inflexible low carbon generation and new sources of energy flexibility, e.g. demand side flexibility, storage and/or interconnection. Existing studies recognise that transitions are uncertain with actors across the whole sector playing a role. However, they suggest tidy and clearly delineated futures and fail to fully capture the messiness emerging from actor interactions. Drawing on transitions research concepts including the Multi-level Perspective, whole system analysis, architectural innovation, power and discourses, this study critically investigates whole system transitions to low carbon futures and new sources of energy flexibility in GB’s electricity sector. Data were collected via semi-structured interviews with 28 senior figures across the sector and analysed using thematic coding and discourse analysis. This study shows that five futures are articulated representing five discourse coalitions (1) ‘Market-based’, (2) ‘Network-focussed’, (3) ‘Policy-driven’, (4) ‘Consumer-centric’; and (5) ‘Prosumer-led’. These futures are messy because actors hold a plurality of views and cannot be simply marshalled into discourse coalitions. This underscores the complexity of electricity sector transitions and reveals important issues such as different ontologies and framings of energy flexibility. By investigating contemporary energy transition discourses, the study argues that a system level understanding of transitions and changes in future making practices currently dominated by quantitative modelling analyses and fixed transition frameworks are essential to effectively manage transitions. Further research is needed to investigate and find ways to better attend to the messiness and multiplicity of energy transitions from a whole systems perspective. This exploratory study is situated in a broader landscape of transitions research about energy futures and provides useful recommendations for both industry and academic communities.

description: The paper contains a brief description of a simplified version of A. Sobolev's proof of absolute continuity of spectra of periodic magnetic Schrödinger operators. This approach is applicable to all periodic elliptic operators known to be of interest for math physics (including Maxwell), and in all these cases leads to the same model problem of complex analysis. The full account of this approach will be provided elsewhere.

description: Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group and $K$ a closed connected subgroup. Assume that the order of any torsion element in the integral cohomology of $G$ and $K$ is invertible in a given principal ideal domain $k$. It is known that in this case the cohomology of the homogeneous space $G/K$ with coefficients in $k$ and the torsion product of $H^{*}(BK)$ and $k$ over $H^{*}(BG)$ are isomorphic as $k$-modules. We show that this isomorphism is multiplicative and natural in the pair $(G,K)$ provided that 2 is invertible in $k$. The proof uses homotopy Gerstenhaber algebras in an essential way. In particular, we show that the normalized singular cochains on the classifying space of a torus are formal as a homotopy Gerstenhaber algebra.

description: Quantum systems subject to time periodic fields of finite amplitude, lambda, have conventionally been handled either by low order perturbation theory, for lambda not too large, or by exact diagonalization within a finite basis of N states. An adiabatic limit, as lambda is switched on arbitrarily slowly, has been assumed. But the validity of these procedures seems questionable in view of the fact that, as N goes to infinity, the quasienergy spectrum becomes dense, and numerical calculations show an increasing number of weakly avoided crossings (related in perturbation theory to high order resonances). This paper deals with the highly non-trivial behavior of the solutions in this limit. The Floquet states, and the associated quasienergies, become highly irregular functions of the amplitude, lambda. The mathematical radii of convergence of perturbation theory in lambda approach zero. There is no adiabatic limit of the wave functions when lambda is turned on arbitrarily slowly. However, the quasienergy becomes independent of time in this limit. We introduce a modification of the adiabatic theorem. We explain why, in spite of the pervasive pathologies of the Floquet states in the limit N goes to infinity, the conventional approaches are appropriate in almost all physically interesting situations.

description: Background: Fragile X Syndrome (FXS), the most common cause of inherited intellectual disability (ID), is caused by a CGG repeat expansion (full mutation (FM), >200 CGG) at the Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 (FMR1) gene. Early identification of FXS has prognostic significance for affected individuals due to early initiation of interventions. Genetic counseling and family screening can aid parents and at-risk asymptomatic carriers (premutation (PM), 55–200 CGG) in taking proper reproductive decisions. Methodology: The present study utilizes Triplet Primed-Polymerase Chain Reaction (TP-PCR) methodology for detecting the repeat expansion at FMR1 gene in 233 Indian intellectual disability/developmental delay (ID/DD) patients. Results: We have identified 18/233 (7.7%) FXS positive cases. Early diagnosis was made in 66.7% cases (<10 years). Extended family screening in 14 affected individuals identified 9 additional FM cases (7 males and 2 females) and 23 carrier PM females, which otherwise could have been missed. Four prenatal diagnoses were also performed, leading to the identification of 1 PM and 1 FM carrier fetus. Conclusion: A high frequency (7.7%) of FXS among Indian ID/DD subjects obtained in this study depicted the need for more professional recommendations concerning prompt referral for genetic testing, and increased exposure to information about FXS to pediatricians.

description: El español como lengua extranjera es una de las opciones con mayor crecimiento de demanda en Italia y en gran parte del mundo. Mientras tanto, el sector del hispanismo se ha sometido a revisiones importantes en los últimos decenios (valgan como ejemplo las etiquetas de New Hispanism o de Giro Ibérico, popularizadas en Estados Unidos y en Europa); pero en el panorama internacional, los agentes y sectores disciplinarios encargados de la enseñanza del español y de las lenguas y culturas de España han reaccionado de manera muy diversa a tales solicitaciones de renovación. En esta intervención propongo un breve estudio comparado entre los panoramas de Estados Unidos, Europa y en particular modo Italia por lo que se refiere a la concepción del sector en ámbito universitario. La diversidad de enfoques institucionalizados permite relevar unos posicionamientos que afectan el marco metodológico, mental e institucional de los estudios, con particular atención al caso italiano

description: An attempt is given to formulate the extensions of the KP hierarchy by introducing fractional order pseudo-differential operators. In the case of the extension with the half-order pseudo-differential operators, a system analogous to the supersymmetric extensions of the KP hierarchy is obtained. Unlike the supersymmetric extensions, no Grassmannian variable appears in the hierarchy considered here. More general hierarchies constructed by the 1/N-th order pseudo-differential operators, their integrability and the reduction procedure are also investigated. In addition to finding out the new extensions of the KP hierarchy, brief introduction to the Riemann-Liouville integral is provided to yield a candidate for the fractional order pseudo-differential operators.

description: Un’ampia letteratura esplora il ruolo dell’inglese specialistico nell’università italiana e come questo sia influenzato dagli ambiti disciplinari. Tuttavia, scarsa attenzione è stata rivolta al rapporto tra didattica e governance universitaria, e in particolare, al modo in cui organi istituzionali quali il Ministero dell’Università e della Ricerca e il Consiglio Universitario Nazionale orientino l’insegnamento dell’inglese nell’università italiana. Questo studio si propone di colmare tale lacuna ed esaminare l’interazione tra didattica e pratica politica riguardo al ruolo dell’inglese negli ultimi 50 anni come competenza linguistica indispensabile e come strumento di conoscenza internazionale nella nuova knowledge economy
