description: We present Picasso, a CUDA-based library comprising novel modules for deep learning over complex real-world 3D meshes. Hierarchical neural architectures have proved effective in multi-scale feature extraction which signifies the need for fast mesh decimation. However, existing methods rely on CPU-based implementations to obtain multi-resolution meshes. We design GPU-accelerated mesh decimation to facilitate network resolution reduction efficiently on-the-fly. Pooling and unpooling modules are defined on the vertex clusters gathered during decimation. For feature learning over meshes, Picasso contains three types of novel convolutions namely, facet2vertex, vertex2facet, and facet2facet convolution. Hence, it treats a mesh as a geometric structure comprising vertices and facets, rather than a spatial graph with edges as previous methods do. Picasso also incorporates a fuzzy mechanism in its filters for robustness to mesh sampling (vertex density). It exploits Gaussian mixtures to define fuzzy coefficients for the facet2vertex convolution, and barycentric interpolation to define the coefficients for the remaining two convolutions. In this release, we demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed modules with competitive segmentation results on S3DIS. The library will be made public through https://github.com/hlei-ziyan/Picasso.

description: The supermassive black hole in the center of our Galaxy, Sgr A*, is unique because the angular size of the black hole is the largest in the sky thus providing detailed boundary conditions on, and much less freedom for, accretion flow models. In this paper I review advection-dominated accretion flow (ADAF; another name is radiatively inefficient accretion flow) models for Sgr A*. This includes the developments and dynamics of ADAFs, and how to explain observational results including the multi-waveband spectrum, radio polarization, IR and X-ray flares, and the size measurements at radio wavebands.

description: My dissertation discusses the identity and spatial politics of post-napoleonic british expatriates in Italy, recoverning the discursive techniques employed in their identification with italianness and the context of the dominant themes and preoccupations in romantic culture. More specifically, i assert that the so-called "anglo-italians"-defined by Mary Shelley as "as well-informed, active and clever race'-fashioned a hyphenated identity in attempt to establish a bicultural sensibility and thus an alternative coalition with italian place, culture, language and community. Assuning a cultural-geographical approach and drawing on the theoretical insights of Stuart Hall, Michel Faucault, Edward Said and Pierre Bourdieu. My work attempts a re-evaluation of Byron's "all meridian heart", Percy Shelley's "Pisan roots", Mary Shelley's "anglo-italicus" self and of the "italianised cockney" vestiture of the liberal as shown in Leigh Hunt's texts

The ANTARES Optical Beacon System
Creators: name: Ageron, M.
name: Collaboration, ANTARES
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: ANTARES is a neutrino telescope being deployed in the Mediterranean Sea. It consists of a three dimensional array of photomultiplier tubes that can detect the Cherenkov light induced by charged particles produced in the interactions of neutrinos with the surrounding medium. High angular resolution can be achieved, in particular when a muon is produced, provided that the Cherenkov photons are detected with sufficient timing precision. Considerations of the intrinsic time uncertainties stemming from the transit time spread in the photomultiplier tubes and the mechanism of transmission of light in sea water lead to the conclusion that a relative time accuracy of the order of 0.5 ns is desirable. Accordingly, different time calibration systems have been developed for the ANTARES telescope. In this article, a system based on Optical Beacons, a set of external and well-controlled pulsed light sources located throughout the detector, is described. This calibration system takes into account the optical properties of sea water, which is used as the detection volume of the ANTARES telescope. The design, tests, construction and first results of the two types of beacons, LED and laser-based, are presented.

Cyclical behavior of evolutionary dynamics in coordination games with changing payoffs
Creators: name: Loginov, George
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Theoretical Economics (econ.TH)
subject: FOS: Economics and business

description: The paper presents a model of two-speed evolution in which the payoffs in the population game (or, alternatively, the individual preferences) slowly adjust to changes in the aggregate behavior of the population. The model investigates how, for a population of myopic agents with homogeneous preferences, changes in the environment caused by current aggregate behavior may affect future payoffs and hence alter future behavior. The interaction between the agents is based on a symmetric two-strategy game with positive externalities and negative feedback from aggregate behavior to payoffs, so that at every point in time the population has an incentive to coordinate, whereas over time the more popular strategy becomes less appealing. Under the best response dynamics and the logit dynamics with small noise levels the joint trajectories of preferences and behavior converge to closed orbits around the unique steady state, whereas for large noise levels the steady state of the logit dynamics becomes a sink. Under the replicator dynamics the unique steady state of the system is repelling and the trajectories are unbounded unstable spirals.

description: Algorithmic bias mitigation has been one of the most difficult conundrums for the data science community and Machine Learning (ML) experts. Over several years, there have appeared enormous efforts in the field of fairness in ML. Despite the progress toward identifying biases and designing fair algorithms, translating them into the industry remains a major challenge. In this paper, we present the initial results of an industrial open innovation project in the banking sector: we propose a general roadmap for fairness in ML and the implementation of a toolkit called BeFair that helps to identify and mitigate bias. Results show that training a model without explicit constraints may lead to bias exacerbation in the predictions.

description: (Abbrev.) This paper prepares a series of papers analysing the Intermediate MAss Galaxy Evolution Sequence (IMAGES) up to z=1. Intermediate mass galaxies (MJ <=-20.3) are selected from the Chandra Deep Field South (CDFS) for which we identify a serious lack of spectroscopically determined redshifts..... We have spectroscopically identified 691 objects including 580 gal., 7 QSOs, and 104 stars. This study provides 531 new redshifts in the CDFS. It confirms the presence of several large scale structures in the CDFS. To test the impact of these structures in the GOODS-South field, we ... compare the evolution of rest-frame U, B, V and K galaxy luminosity densities to that derived from the CFRS. The CDFS field shows a significant excess of luminosity densities in the z=0.5-0.75 range, which increases with the wavelength, reaching up to 0.5 dex at 2.1 um. Stellar mass and specific star formation evolutions might be significantly affected by the presence of the peculiar large scale structures at z= 0.668 and at z= 0.735, that contain a significant excess of evolved, massive galaxies when compared to other fields. This leads to a clear warning to results based on the CDFS/GOODS South fields, especially those related to the evolution of red luminosity densities, i.e. stellar mass density and specific star formation rate. Photometric redshift techniques, when applied to that field, are producing quantities which are apparently less affected by cosmic variance (0.25 dex at 2.1 um), however at the cost of the difficulty in disentangling between evolutionary and cosmic variance effects.

The formation of barium giants via mass accretion in binary systems
Creators: name: Stancliffe, Richard J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2021
Subjects: subject: Solar and Stellar Astrophysics (astro-ph.SR)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We examine the composition of barium stars in the context of mass transfer from an asymptotic giant branch (AGB) companion. We accrete between 0.01 and 0.5 M$_\odot$ of AGB ejecta on to low mass companions of [Fe/H] = -0.25 at the ages expected for the end of the lives of AGB stars of 2.5, 3 and 4M$_\odot$. In each case, we form a star of 2.5 M$_\odot$ which is thought to be a typical barium star mass. We discuss the extent of dilution of accreted material as the star evolves, and describe the impact on the surface abundances. For accretion from a 2.5\ms\ primary, if the secondary's initial mass is 2.45 M$_\odot$ or more, accretion takes place when the secondary is undergoing core helium burning. Using data from the sample of De Castro et al., we attempt to fit the observed properties of 74 barium giants using the models we have computed. We find that all but six of these objects are best fit using ejecta from 2.5 M$_\odot$ (32 objects) or 3 M$_\odot$ (36 objects) AGB stars. Higher accretion masses are typically required when accreting from a lower mass companion. We find accretion masses that are broadly consistent with recent hydrodynamical simulations of wind mass transfer, though the accretion efficiency is toward the upper limit found in these simulations. For the 18 stars with reported orbital periods, we find no strong correlations between period and accretion mass.

description: We derive the non-thermal velocities (NTVs) in the transition region of an active region using the \ion{Si}{4}~1393.78~Å line observed by the Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph (IRIS) and compare them with the line-of-sight photospheric magnetic fields obtained by the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO). The active region consists of two strong field regions with opposite polarity, separated by a weak field corridor, that widened as the active region evolved. The means of the NTV distributions in strong-field regions (weak field corridors) range between $\sim$18{--}20 (16{--}18)~km~s$^{-1}$, albeit the NTV maps show much larger range. In addition, we identify a narrow lane in the middle of the corridor with significantly reduced NTV. The NTVs do not show a strong center-to-limb variation, albeit somewhat larger values near the disk center. The NTVs are well correlated with redshifts as well as line intensities. The results obtained here and those presented in our companion paper on Doppler shifts suggest two populations of plasma in the active region emitting in \ion{Si}{4}. The first population exists in the strong field regions and extends partway into the weak field corridor between them. We attribute this plasma to spicules heated to $\sim$0.1 MK (often called type II spicules). They have a range of inclinations relative to vertical. The second population exists in the center of the corridor, is relatively faint, and has smaller velocities, likely horizontal. These results provide further insights into the heating of the transition region.

description: Destructive quantum interference (DQI) and its effects on electron transport is studied in chemical molecules and finite physical lattices that can be described by a discrete Hamiltonian. Starting from a bipartite system whose conductance zeros are known to exist between any two points of a specially designated set, the interference set, we use the Dyson equation to develop a general algorithm of determining the zero conductance points in complex systems, which are not necessarily bipartite. We illustrate this procedure as it applies to the fulvene molecule. The stability of the conductance zeros is analyzed in respect with external perturbations.

description: The long dreamed quantum internet would consist of a network of quantum nodes (solid-state or atomic systems) linked by flying qubits, naturally based on photons, travelling over long distances at the speed of light, with negligible decoherence. A key component is a light source, able to provide single or entangled photon pairs. Among the different platforms, semiconductor quantum dots are very attractive, as they can be integrated with other photonic and electronic components in miniaturized chips. In the early 1990s two approaches were developed to synthetize self-assembled epitaxial semiconductor quantum dots (QDs), or artificial atoms, namely the Stranski-Krastanov (SK) and the droplet epitaxy (DE) method. Because of its robustness and simplicity, the SK method became the workhorse to achieve several breakthroughs in both fundamental and technological areas. The need for specific emission wavelengths or structural and optical properties has nevertheless motivated further research on the DE method and its more recent development, the local-droplet-etching (LDE), as complementary routes to obtain high quality semiconductor nanostructures. The recent reports on the generation of highly entangled photon pairs, combined with good photon indistinguishability, suggest that DE and LDE QDs may complement (and sometime even outperform) conventional SK InGaAs QDs as quantum emitters. We present here a critical survey of the state of the art of DE and LDE, highlighting the advantages and weaknesses, the obtained achievements and the still open challenges, in view of applications in quantum communication and technology.

The Chinese mass campaign in the post-Mao years
Creators: name: Fulker, Christopher Paul
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The Chinese mass campaign was originally formed in accordance with the Maoist vision of political participation. The "mass line" dictum enunciated by Mao Zedong required a relationship of reciprocity between the masses and the CCP in terms of evolving ideas, improving and amending them through discussion, and implementing decisions. In this participatory process it was vitally important that the masses freely and voluntarily express their own views. Originally, the mass campaign was a positive, pragmatic, and commitment-filled way of completing constructive tasks, one in which the masses themselves played an important role. The vision of participation prevailing at any given time has been a major factor in shaping the nature of the mass campaign. Central to a consideration of the character of participation is the degree to which the masses are permitted to play their independent, active, and integral role. Stemming from the period following the failure of the Great Leap Forward, this original conception of the mass campaign was increasingly corrupted by developing "bureaucratism" and "commandism" and actual mass involvement declined. With the basic tasks of socialist construction seen as completed, the mass campaign began to be used for "reforming the superstructure." Moralizing, lecturing, and behavioural modification were some of the tasks to which the mass campaign was put, as the achievement of social stability and public cooperation became important state goals. Leadership disunity resulted in the manipulation of the mass campaign for factional ends. Since the commencement of the post-Mao reform process, Chinese society has experienced increases in social disorder and in cynical, self-centred and apathetic public behaviour. In responding to these problems, the state has altered the use of the mass campaign to the minimalist one of a tool for social control. Leadership infighting and disagreements over policy direction and party "line" have become especially prominent since the end of the Cultural Revolution. Mass campaigns have been commonly manipulated by individuals and factions within the leadership in recent years; consequently, their administration and structure has become shoddy and their ideological direction haphazard. Campaigns of the 1980s have continued to display these and other trends. Limited to use as lecturing and moralizing tools, subordinated to economic concerns, manipulated by the leadership, lacking constructive or pragmatic goals, and featuring meaningless content, they are increasingly irrelevant to the masses.

description: To fully learn the latent temporal dependencies from post-disturbance system dynamic trajectories, deep learning is utilized for short-term voltage stability (STVS) assessment of power systems in this paper. First of all, a semi-supervised cluster algorithm is performed to obtain class labels of STVS instances due to the unavailability of reliable quantitative criteria. Secondly, a long short-term memory (LSTM) based assessment model is built through learning the time dependencies from the post-disturbance system dynamics. Finally, the trained assessment model is employed to determine the systems stability status in real time. The test results on the IEEE 39-bus system suggest that the proposed approach manages to assess the stability status of the system accurately and timely. Furthermore, the superiority of the proposed method over traditional shallow learning-based assessment methods has also been proved.

description: In this paper, we consider a single top quark production in association with a neutral gauge boson (Z boson or Photon) at the future electron-positron colliders. We utilize these channels to probe the top quark Flavour Changing Neutral Currents (FCNC) interactions in $tqZ$ and $tqγ$ vertices. We perform two separate analyses for top-Z-jet and top-$γ$-jet channels. The Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) approach is employed to search for these anomalous couplings. We consider parton showering, hadronization and fast detector simulation in our study and use a cut-and-count technique to separate the signal from the Standard Model (SM) background processes. The upper limits on the FCNC couplings at $95\%$ confidence level for the different integrated luminosities are obtained. It is shown that the future lepton collider would be able to probe the FCNC branching fractions to $\rm{Br}(t\rightarrow q γ)< 10^{-4}$ and $\rm{Br}(t\rightarrow q Z) < 10^{-4}$ with $3$ $\rm{ab}^{-1}$of integrated luminosity of data at a center of mass energy of $350$ GeV.

description: Group processes in emergencies and disasters have been studied for decades by psychologists, and they have developed many theories to explain collective behaviours. One of the most recent and reasonable theoretical frameworks is the social identity model. The social identity model posits that it is the shared social identity that underpins various group behaviours, especially solidary behaviours, which were widely observed and reported in previous research. While there was abundant research showing that validated the social identity approach, there were still many questions unanswered. The present research sought to answer three general questions: (1) can the social identity model of collective behaviours in emergencies and disasters be applied in a non-Western background? (2) how does shared identity develop over time? (3) what factors may enhance or undermine the strength of shared identity? Four studies were designed to answer these questions. Study 1 and study 2 were two field studies adopting an ethnographic approach. They sought to explore the research questions in general, but in two different settings – one about an earthquake in China, and the other about a flood in Ireland. By comparing the results of the two field studies, four factors that might influence shared identity were identified, and they were explored in lab experiments in study 3 and study 4. Together, these studies have shown that: (1) the social identity model was useful in China and Ireland, and in an earthquake and a flood; (2) the trajectory of social identity could be short or long, and it could develop into several different subtypes, however, it did not seem to be a consequence of time per se, rather, it was caused by shared fate or shared memory; (3) severity of disaster, pre-existing unity, observed unity, and time were all found to have influenced the level of shared identity.

description: We use Gamma-ray burst (GRB) spectra total continuum absorption to estimate the key intergalactic medium (IGM) properties of hydrogen column density ($\mathit{N}\textsc{hxigm}$), metallicity, temperature and ionisation parameter over a redshift range of $1.6 \leq z \leq 6.3$, using photo-ionisation (PIE) and collisional ionisation equilibrium (CIE) models for the ionised plasma. We use more realistic host metallicity, dust corrected where available, in generating the host absorption model, assuming that the host intrinsic hydrogen column density is equal to the measured ionisation corrected intrinsic neutral column from UV spectra ($\textit{N}\textsc{h}\/\ \textsc{i,ic}$). We find that the IGM property results are similar, regardless of whether the model assumes all PIE or CIE. The $\mathit{N}\textsc{hxigm}$ scales as $(1 + z)^{1.0\/\ -\/\ 1.9}$, with equivalent hydrogen mean density at $z = 0$ of $n_0 = 1.8^{+1.5}_{-1.2} \times 10^{-7}$ cm$^{-3}$. The metallicity ranges from $\sim0.1Z\sun$ at $z \sim 2$ to $\sim0.001Z\sun$ at redshift $z > 4$. The PIE model implies a less rapid decline in average metallicity with redshift compared to CIE. Under CIE, the temperature ranges between $5.0

description: We search for nonlinear effects in nuclear giant resonances (GRs), in particular the isovector dipole and the isoscalar quadrupole modes. To that end, we employ a spectral analysis of time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) dynamics using Skyrme forces. Based on TDHF calculations over a wide range of excitation amplitudes, we explore the collectivity and degree of harmonic motion in these modes. Both GR modes turn out to be highly harmonic in heavy nuclei from A=100 on. There is no trace of a transition to irregular motion and multiple resonances are predicted. Slight anharmonicities are seen for light nuclei, particularly for $^{16}$O. These are mainly caused by the spin-orbit splitting.

description: A new methodology for the calculation of the influence of the multi-layer earth on overhead or underground conductor impedances is proposed in this contribution. Analytic expressions are derived by the solution of the electromagnetic field equations for the case of underground conductors and two-layers earth. These expressions are generalised for the case of multi-layer earth with n-layers. A new integration technique is proposed for the calculation of the conductor impedances with the new expressions. Finally, an approximate relation is proposed for the calculation of the resistivity of a fictitious homogeneous earth that has the same effect on the conductor impedances with a two-layer earth

Essential Tremor and Parkinson’s Disease: Exploring the Relationship
Creators: name: Tarakad, Arjun
name: Jankovic, Joseph
Publisher: name: Tremor and Other Hyperkinetic Movements
Year: 2019

description: Background: There is longstanding controversy surrounding the possible link between essential tremor (ET) and Parkinson’s disease (PD). Inconsistent and unreliable diagnostic criteria may in part account for some of the difficulties in defining the relationship between these two common movement disorders. Methods: References for this systematic review were identified using PubMed with the search terms “essential tremor” AND “Parkinson’s disease” with articles published in English between 1960 and September 2018 included. Results: In this review we provide evidence that some patients diagnosed with ET have an increased risk of developing PD years or decades after onset of action tremor. There are several still unresolved questions about the link between the two disorders including lack of verifiable diagnostic criteria for the two disorders and marked overlap in phenomenology. Here we review clinical, epidemiologic, imaging, pathologic, and genetic studies that address the ET–PD relationship. Several lines of evidence support the association between ET and PD, including overlapping motor and non-motor features, relatively high prevalence of rapid eye movement sleep behavior disorder (26–43%) in ET patients, increased prevalence of PD in patients with longstanding antecedent ET, increased prevalence of ET in family members of patients with PD, and the presence of Lewy bodies in the brains of some ET patients (15–24%). Discussion: There is a substantial body of evidence supporting the association between ET and PD within at least a subset of patients, although the nature and possible pathogenic mechanisms of the relationship are not well understood.

If the evil ever occurs : the 1873 Married Women's Property Act : law, property and gender relations in 19th century British Columbia
Creators: name: Falcon, Paulette Yvonne Lynnette
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This study will examine the circumstances surrounding the passage of the British Columbia Married Women's Property Act, 1873 and the judicial response to it. The statute was an attempt on the part of legislators to clarify and facilitate married women's actions in the marketplace, while accomodating new ideas about women's place in society. But despite the rhetoric about women's rights and the bill's more egalitarian potential, it precipitated no domestic revolution. The courts, in turn, ignored the legislation's more liberal provisions and interpreted it solely as a protective measure. Notwithstanding their different views on gender relations and marital property reform, legislators and judges shared common beliefs about the importance of family life. Consequently, the law defended women's legal rights as family members more than as individuals. Overall, the bill represented a compromise. Although it was meant to alleviate some of a wife's legal disabilities so that she could participate more freely in the economic life of the community, it was also grounded in the Victorian paternalism of the legislators who enacted it and the judges who enforced it. As a result, despite the challenge presented by the provisions of the Married Women's Property Act, the doctrine of marital unity proved remarkably resilient.
