description: The proliferation of automated data collection schemes and the advances in sensorics are increasing the amount of data we are able to monitor in real-time. However, given the high annotation costs and the time required by quality inspections, data is often available in an unlabeled form. This is fostering the use of active learning for the development of soft sensors and predictive models. In production, instead of performing random inspections to obtain product information, labels are collected by evaluating the information content of the unlabeled data. Several query strategy frameworks for regression have been proposed in the literature but most of the focus has been dedicated to the static pool-based scenario. In this work, we propose a new strategy for the stream-based scenario, where instances are sequentially offered to the learner, which must instantaneously decide whether to perform the quality check to obtain the label or discard the instance. The approach is inspired by the optimal experimental design theory and the iterative aspect of the decision-making process is tackled by setting a threshold on the informativeness of the unlabeled data points. The proposed approach is evaluated using numerical simulations and the Tennessee Eastman Process simulator. The results confirm that selecting the examples suggested by the proposed algorithm allows for a faster reduction in the prediction error.

description: Supersymmetry plays prominent roles in the study of quantum field theory and in many proposals for potential new physics beyond the standard model. Lattice field theory provides a non-perturbative regularization suitable for strongly interacting systems. This invited review briefly summarizes significant recent progress in lattice investigations of supersymmetric field theories, as well as some of the challenges that remain to be overcome. I focus on progress in three areas: supersymmetric Yang--Mills (SYM) theories in fewer than four space-time dimensions, as well as both minimal N=1 SYM and maximal N=4 SYM in four dimensions. I also highlight superQCD and sign problems as prominent challenges that will be important to address in future work.

It is a common statistical practice to carry out preliminary statistical model selection and subsequent inference on the same data assuming that the selected model had been given a priori. This may lead to inaccurate or misleading results. Confidence intervals constructed with nominal coverage 1−α based on this false assumption can have poor coverage properties. In Chapter 2, we critically examine the coverage properties of resulting confidence intervals for stratum-specific odds ratios after a preliminary hypothesis test using a large sample approximation method and a Monte Carlo simulation method. This has been done in the context of a case-control study in which the aim is to assess the effect of a factor on disease occurrence. We carry out a preliminary test of homogeneity of the stratum-specific odds ratios and if the null hypothesis of homogeneity is rejected, we compute simultaneous confidence intervals for each of the stratum-specific odds ratios. We examine the statistical properties of this two-stage analysis and we show that the preliminary test of homogeneity of the stratum-specific odds ratios has a very harmful effect on the coverage probabilities of these confidence intervals. In Chapter 3 we describe a new confidence interval in regression that utilizes uncertain prior information. Suppose the parameter of interest is a specified linear combination of the components of the regression parameters. Preliminary statistical model selection may be motivated by a desire to utilize uncertain prior information about the regression parameters in the construction of the confidence interval for the parameter of interest. We use the form of the naive 1−α confidence interval to motivate a new 1−α confidence interval that utilizes uncertain prior information about a vector parameter. To an excellent approximation we show that this confidence interval has minimum coverage probability 1−α throughout the parameter space and it has expected length that is significantly less than the standard confidence interval when this prior information is correct and is also not too large when prior information is not correct. Also, this confidence interval reverts to the usual confidence interval when data happens to strongly contradict the prior information.

description: Traditionally, patient travel history has been used to distinguish imported from autochthonous malaria cases, but the dormant liver stages of Plasmodium vivax confound this approach. Molecular tools offer an alternative method to identify, and map imported cases. Using machine learning approaches incorporating hierarchical fixation index and decision tree analyses applied to 799 P. vivax genomes from 21 countries, we identified 33-SNP, 50-SNP and 55-SNP barcodes (GEO33, GEO50 and GEO55), with high capacity to predict the infection's country of origin. The Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) for an existing, commonly applied 38-SNP barcode (BR38) exceeded 0.80 in 62% countries. The GEO panels outperformed BR38, with median MCCs > 0.80 in 90% countries at GEO33, and 95% at GEO50 and GEO55. An online, open-access, likelihood-based classifier framework was established to support data analysis (vivaxGEN-geo). The SNP selection and classifier methods can be readily amended for other use cases to support malaria control programs.

description: The coupling of laser light to a mechanical oscillator via radiation pressure leads to the emergence of quantum mechanical correlations between the amplitude and phase quadrature of the laser beam. These correlations form a generic non-classical resource which can be employed for quantum-enhanced force metrology, and give rise to ponderomotive squeezing in the limit of strong correlations. To date, this resource has only been observed in a handful of cryogenic cavity optomechanical experiments. Here, we demonstrate the ability to efficiently resolve optomechanical quantum correlations imprinted on an optical laser field interacting with a room temperature nanomechanical oscillator. Direct measurement of the optical field in a detuned homodyne detector ("variational measurement") at frequencies far from the resonance frequency of the oscillator reveal quantum correlations at the few percent level. We demonstrate how the absolute visibility of these correlations can be used for a quantum-enhanced estimation of the quantum back-action force acting on the oscillator, and provides for an enhancement in the relative signal-to-noise ratio for the estimation of an off-resonant external force, even at room temperature.
THE RURAL POPULATION TURNROUND: A CASE STUDY OF NORTH DEVON
Creators: name: BOLTON, NICOLA JANE
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1988

description: This thesis examines the most striking recent change in Britain's population geography, namely the redistribution from urban to rural areas. Its particular focus is on the transition from depopulation to repopulation in remote rural localities: a trend referred to as the population turnround. Although the 1981 Census revealed the general spatial patterns of population change, there is still a dearth of detailed information which can explain how and why the population turnround in remote rural areas has occurred. Little is known about the migrants, their reasons for moving or their impact on the host area. To answer these kind s of questions, the project makes a detailed study of the population turnround in North Devon. A variety of data sources were used but the most important was a specially conducted questionnaire survey involving 300 personal interviews in South Molton and contiguous parishes.

description: Elucidating the adaptive immune characteristics of natural protection to Lassa fever (LF) is vital in designing and selecting optimal vaccine candidates. With rejuvenated interest in LF and a call for accelerated research on the Lassa virus (LASV) vaccine, there is a need to define the correlates of natural protective immune responses to LF. Here, we describe cellular and antibody immune responses present in survivors of LF (N = 370) and their exposed contacts (N = 170) in a LASV endemic region in Nigeria. Interestingly, our data showed comparable T cell and binding antibody responses from both survivors and their contacts, while neutralizing antibody responses were primarily seen in the LF survivors and not their contacts. Neutralizing antibody responses were found to be cross-reactive against all five lineages of LASV with a strong bias to Lineage II, the prevalent strain in southern Nigeria. We demonstrated that both T cell and antibody responses were not detectable in peripheral blood after a decade in LF survivors. Notably LF survivors maintained high levels of detectable binding antibody response for six months while their contacts did not. Lastly, as potential vaccine targets, we identified the regions of the LASV Glycoprotein (GP) and Nucleoprotein (NP) that induced the broadest peptide-specific T cell responses. Taken together this data informs immunological readouts and potential benchmarks for clinical trials evaluating LASV vaccine candidates.

description: We present an alternative perspective on the see-saw mechanism for the neutrino mass, according to which the small neutrino mass is given as a difference of two large masses. This view emerges when an analogue of the Bogoliubov transformation is used to describe Majorana neutrinos in the Lagrangian of the see-saw mechanism, which is analogous to the BCS theory. The Bogoliubov transformation clarifies the natural appearance of Majorana fermions when C is strongly violated by the right-handed neutrino mass term with good CP in the single flavor model. Analyzing typical models with $m_{R}$= $10^{4}$ to $10^{15}$ GeV, it is shown that a hitherto unrecognized fine tuning of the order $m_ν/m_{R}=10^{-15}$ to $10^{-26}$ is required to make the commonly perceived see-saw mechanism work in a natural setting, namely, when none of dimensionless coupling constants are very small.

The Inland Sea: An Australian Odyssey is a bilingual (English, Norwegian) documentary web series chronicling a ten-week road trip in Australia. It is the main component of this creative PhD thesis and accompanied by a written exegesis. The aim of The Inland Sea was to respond to the challenges of rapid changes in the industry, and to demonstrate experiential learning, through experimenting with digital storytelling, bilingual narratives and online distribution. Between November 2008 and February 2009, I and a team of three, drove 16,000 kms from Melbourne to Adelaide, Darwin, Perth and back almost the same distance as from Melbourne to Oslo. The impetus for the project was to look for alternative communities in remote, rural and suburban Australia, and to experience the outback for the first time. The Inland Sea is a small adventure, and an experiment in digital journalism by a reporter with an exclusively print based background. The Inland Sea consists of 15 short episodes, in which our team visit ecovillages, spot wildlife, search for UFOs, enjoy a sit-down with royalty, and more. The episodes are accompanied by a website (www.theinlandsea.com.au) offering a range of additional material in the form of blogs, image galleries and interstitial videos and extended interviews, in addition to social media profiles on Twitter and Facebook. The series is available on a number of online networks and platforms, including Perpetual Explorer, KoldCast TV, iTunes, VBCtv, Web Series Channel, Mingle Media, YouTube, Blip and Vimeo. It has been featured on Norwegian newspaper Laagendalsposten’s website, and at the time of writing, the series is being subbed in Spanish for a young Latino audience, through Creala TV.

description: Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Thailand’s food industry face challenges in competitiveness due to limited resources, low technological adoption, and workforce constraints. While digitalization and IT competency are recognized as drivers of innovation, their interconnected roles in digital transformation and new product development (NPD), creating unique products or services, remain underexplored. This study examines the mediating role of digitalization between IT competency and digital transformation and explores how digital transformation influences NPD to enhance the competitiveness of Thai food SMEs. Grounded in dynamic capability theory, data were collected through an online questionnaire distributed to representatives of Thai food SMEs listed in the Ministry of Commerce’s warehouse database. Conducted between December 2021 and February 2022, the study obtained 83 valid responses from a sample of 2665 (3.1% response rate). Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) analysis reveals that digitalization fully mediates the relationship between IT competency and digital transformation, which significantly enhances NPD. The findings highlight IT competency, digitalization, and digital transformation as key drivers for innovation, offering strategic insights for policymakers and practitioners. This study also advances dynamic capability theory and emphasizes the need for Thai SMEs to adopt technological capabilities to remain competitive in emerging markets.

description: First hidden-charm pentaquark candidate with strangeness, $P_{ψs}^Λ(4338)$, was recently discovered in $B^-\to J/ψΛ\bar{p}$ by the LHCb Collaboration. $P_{ψs}^Λ(4338)$ shows up as a bump at the $Ξ_c\bar{D}$ threshold in the $J/ψΛ$ invariant mass ($M_{J/ψΛ}$) distribution. The $M_{J/ψΛ}$ distribution also shows a large fluctuation at the $Λ_c\bar{D}_s$ threshold, hinting the existence of a possible $P_{ψs}^Λ(4255)$. In this work, we determine the $P_{ψs}^Λ(4338)$ and $P_{ψs}^Λ(4255)$ pole positions for the first time. For this purpose, we fit a $B^-\to J/ψΛ\bar{p}$ model to the $M_{J/ψΛ}$, $M_{J/ψ\bar{p}}$, $M_{Λ\bar{p}}$, and $\cosθ_{K^*}$ distributions from the LHCb simultaneously; $χ^2/{\rm ndf}\sim 1.21$. Then we extract $P_{ψs}^Λ$ poles from a unitary $Ξ_c\bar{D}$-$Λ_c\bar{D}_s$ coupled-channel scattering amplitude built in the model. In our default fit, the $P_{ψs}^Λ(4338)$ pole is found at $( 4338.2\pm 1.4)-( 1.9\pm 0.5 )\,i$ MeV while the $P_{ψs}^Λ(4255)$ pole at $4254.7\pm 0.4$ MeV. The $P_{ψs}^Λ(4338)$ and $P_{ψs}^Λ(4255)$ are mostly $Ξ_c \bar{D}$ bound and $Λ_c\bar{D}_s$ virtual states, respectively. Through our analysis, the data disfavors a hypothesis of $P_{ψs}^Λ(4338)$ as merely a kinematical effect. This pole determination, which is important in its own right, sets a primary basis to study the nature of the $P_{ψs}^Λ$ states.

description: We investigate the thermodynamic limit of the su(n)-invariant spin chain models with unparallel boundary fields. It is found that the contribution of the inhomogeneous term in the associated T-Q relation to the ground state energy does vanish in the thermodynamic limit. This fact allows us to calculate the boundary energy of the system. Taking the su(2) (or the XXX) spin chain and the su(3) spin chain as concrete examples, we have studied the corresponding boundary energies of the models. The method used in this paper can be generalized to study the thermodynamic properties and boundary energy of other high rank models with non-diagonal boundary fields.

description: Recent experiments demonstrated that single-particle quantum walks can reveal the topological properties of single-particle states. Here, we generalize this picture to the many-body realm by focusing on multiparticle quantum walks of strongly interacting fermions. After injecting $N$ particles with multiple flavors in the interacting SU$(N)$ Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chain, their multiparticle continuous-time quantum walk is monitored by a variety of methods. We find that the many-body Berry phase in the $N$-body part of the spectrum signals a topological transition upon varying the dimerization, similarly to the single-particle case. This topological transition is captured by the single- and many-body mean chiral displacement during the quantum walk and remains present for strong interaction as well as for moderate disorder. Our predictions are well within experimental reach for cold atomic gases and can be used to detect the topological properties of many-body excitations through dynamical probes.

THE GALACTIC MAGNETIC FIELD
Creators: name: Brett, Belinda Jane
Publisher: name: University of Plymouth
Year: 1986

description: The magnetic field of the Galaxy is investigated by spherical harmonic analysis of Faraday rotation measures of extragalactic sources and interstellar polarization measurements. Two methods of analysis are used. Initially, these are compared on synthetic data sets, and some problems illustrated. Faraday rotation measures of extragalactic radio sources are taken primarily from a recent catalogue (Simard-Normandin, Kronberg, and Button, 1981). These show certain trends with position in the sky, somewhat disrupted by random effects. A recently developed inverse theory method of spherical harmonic analysis gave an interesting quantitative indication of these trends, although some problems of analysis remain.
ASR: ASP-based stream reasoning for semantic sensor data processing and activity recognition

Year: 2023

description: Submission note: A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy to the School of Engineering and Mathematical Sciences, Faculty of Science, Technology and Engineering, La Trobe University, Bundoora.

This thesis proposes the ASR language (Answer set programming (ASP)-based Stream Reasoning language), as a dialect of the dlv language, for stream reasoning with abilities to deal with ambiguous situations and to integrate with Artificial Neural Network (ANN) from machine learning. The ASR language is a dialect of a well-developed logic-based reasoning engine. We equip ASR with stream reasoning functionalities such as handling data stream, performing reasoning continuously, and reasoning about ambiguous situations. With the focus on sensor applications and activity recognition, we chose the ASP technique with dlv language (a state-of-the art ASP solver) to be the foundation for developing ASR. We also utilized ANN, due to its versatility, as an external reasoning technique to be integrated into ASR systems to enhance their reasoning ability. To reason about ambiguous situations, especially in dealing with ambiguous sensor data, we propose a method which uses weak constraints of ASP in combination with the window slide technique and activity relationships. We develop the ASR framework to examine the feasibility, performance, accuracy and practicality of our approach. The ASR framework also allows ASR systems to integrate with ANN seamlessly. As a proof-of-concept, we implemented a case study (“AutoDiary”) which automatically detects a user’s daily activities, and then, provides statistical information about the users’ daily routine patterns and consequently gives alerts and recommendations to the user.

description: Solar plages, which are bright regions on the Sun's surface, are an important indicator of solar activity. In this study, we propose an automated algorithm for identifying solar plages in Ca K wavelength solar data obtained from the Kodaikanal Solar Observatory. The algorithm successfully annotates all visually identifiable plages in an image and outputs the corresponding calculated plage index. We perform a time series analysis of the plage index (rolling mean) across multiple solar cycles to test the algorithm's reliability and robustness. The results show a strong correlation between the calculated plage index and those reported in a previous study. The correlation coefficients obtained for all the solar cycles are higher than 0.90, indicating the reliability of the model. We also suggest that adjusting the hyperparameters appropriately for a specific image using our web-based app can increase the model's efficiency. The algorithm has been deployed on the Streamlit Community Cloud platform, where users can upload images and customize the hyperparameters for desired results. The input data used in this study is freely available from the KSO data archive, and the code and the generated data are publicly available on our GitHub repository. Our proposed algorithm provides an efficient and reliable method for identifying solar plages, which can aid the study of solar activity and its impact on the Earth's climate, technology, and space weather.

He consecrated and inaugurated this architectural work at the end of the K'atun 8 Ajaw (9.13.0.0.0, 8 Ahau 8 Uo, March 16, 692 A.D.). In front of Structure J-4 he erected Altar 1, an exceptional sculpture because of its large dimensions and long glyphic inscription. The monument records a chain of mythical, legendary, and historical events that, along with a future date, spans 7,906 years. All the events contained in that long period took place in Yokib's chanch'e'en, whether in its buildings, mountains, or waterways. This vision of the primordial history of Piedras Negras showed the sacred nature of the settlement throughout the ages. Later, a panel and seven stelae were periodically erected in Structure J-4, in front of the altar, as a testimony to the periodic rituals dedicated to the ancestors and tutelary deities, and to the endurance and divine essence of the chanch'e'en.

description: We introduce the $dipole$ $cosmological$ $principle$, the idea that the Universe is a maximally Copernican cosmology, compatible with a cosmic flow. It serves as the most symmetric paradigm that generalizes the FLRW ansatz, in light of the increasingly numerous (but still tentative) hints that have emerged in the last two decades for a non-kinematic component in the CMB dipole. Einstein equations in our "dipole cosmology" are still ordinary differential equations -- but instead of the two Friedmann equations, now we have four. The two new functions can be viewed as an anisotropic scale factor that breaks the isotropy group from $SO(3)$ to $U(1)$, and a "tilt" that captures the cosmic flow velocity. The result is an axially isotropic, tilted Bianchi V/VII$_h$ cosmology. We assess the possibility of model building within the dipole cosmology paradigm, and discuss the dynamics of expansion rate, anisotropic shear and tilt, in various examples. A key observation is that the cosmic flow (tilt) can grow even while the anisotropy (shear) dies down. Remarkably, this can happen even in an era of late time acceleration.

description: Visual Story-Telling is the process of forming a multi-sentence story from a set of images. Appropriately including visual variation and contextual information captured inside the input images is one of the most challenging aspects of visual storytelling. Consequently, stories developed from a set of images often lack cohesiveness, relevance, and semantic relationship. In this paper, we propose a novel Vision Transformer Based Model for describing a set of images as a story. The proposed method extracts the distinct features of the input images using a Vision Transformer (ViT). Firstly, input images are divided into 16X16 patches and bundled into a linear projection of flattened patches. The transformation from a single image to multiple image patches captures the visual variety of the input visual patterns. These features are used as input to a Bidirectional-LSTM which is part of the sequence encoder. This captures the past and future image context of all image patches. Then, an attention mechanism is implemented and used to increase the discriminatory capacity of the data fed into the language model, i.e. a Mogrifier-LSTM. The performance of our proposed model is evaluated using the Visual Story-Telling dataset (VIST), and the results show that our model outperforms the current state of the art models.

description: We study the implications of biased consumer beliefs for search market outcomes in the seminal framework due to Diamond (1971). Biased consumers base their search strategy on a belief function which specifies for any (true) distribution of utility offers in the market a possibly incorrect distribution of utility offers. If biased consumers overestimate the best offer in the market, a novel type of equilibrium may emerge in which firms make exceptionally favourable offers in order to meet biased consumers' unreasonable high expectations which then become partially self-fulfilling. Consequently, the presence of biased consumers may improve the welfare of all consumers.

description: Dirac delta function of matrix argument is employed frequently in the development of diverse fields such as Random Matrix Theory, Quantum Information Theory, etc. The purpose of the article is pedagogical, it begins by recalling detailed knowledge about Heaviside unit step function and Dirac delta function. Then its extensions of Dirac delta function to vector spaces and matrix spaces are discussed systematically, respectively. The detailed and elementary proofs of these results are provided. Though we have not seen these results formulated in the literature, there certainly are predecessors. Applications are also mentioned.

description: Die Musikindustrie gilt auch heute noch als Gebiet, in dem eine Gender-Pay-Gap, die Diskriminierung aufgrund der sexuellen Orientierung oder Geschlechtsidentität und sexuelle Belästigung zum Alltag gehören. Analog zu anderen Bereichen, wo gleiche Probleme auftauchen, gründen auch hier Personen aus benachteiligten Gruppen Safe Spaces, um in Räumen, in denen eine relative Sicherheit gewährleistet und die Organisation des gemeinschaftlichen Widerstandes ermöglicht wird, innerhalb der Musikbranche arbeiten und schaffen zu können. Mit der intensiven Digitalisierung aller Lebensbereiche entstehen die Safe Spaces immer öfter im Cyberspace, wodurch völlig neue Perspektiven auf die räumlichen Eigenschaften dieses eröffnet werden. Dieser Artikel definiert und problematisiert den Begriff des Safe Space im Kontext der Musikindustrie und untersucht die Frage, wie die Digitalisierung und globale Vernetzung diese „sichere(re)n Räumen” beeinflussen oder sogar neugestalten. Darüber hinaus werden ausgewählte Beispiele der digitalen Safe Spaces in den musikalischen Kulturen anhand einer empirischen Untersuchung klassifiziert und genauer beschrieben. Die automatisch erzeugte Sprachausgabe, die in dem Audio-Teil des Essays die Rolle der Cyber-Führer_innen übernehmen, skizzieren die Landschaft der heutigen digitalen Safe Spaces dadurch, dass sie Archive, Datenbanken, multifunktionale Webseiten oder online Mentoring-, Masterclass- und Finanzierungsprogramme analytisch beschreiben.
description: The music industry today is still an area where a gender-pay-gap, discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity, and sexual harassment are part of everyday life. Much as in other areas where the same problems occur, people from disadvantaged groups establish safe spaces within the music industry in order to be able to work and create with relative safety and the possibility of organized resistance. With the intense digitalization of all spheres of life, safe spaces are increasingly emerging in cyberspace. This article defines and problematizes the notion of safe space in the context of the music industry and explores the question of how digitalization and global networking influence or even reshape these "safe(r) spaces". It also classifies and describes specific examples of digital safe spaces in the musical environment. The automatically generated text-to-speech voices, which take on the role of cyber-guides in the audio part of the essay, outline the landscape of contemporary digital safe spaces by analytically describing archives, databases, and multifunctional websites, as well as online mentoring, masterclass, and funding programs.

description: In this work, we introduce DeepFlame, an open-source C++ platform with the capabilities of utilising machine learning algorithms and pre-trained models to solve for reactive flows. We combine the individual strengths of the computational fluid dynamics library OpenFOAM, machine learning framework Torch, and chemical kinetics program Cantera. The complexity of cross-library function and data interfacing (the core of DeepFlame) is minimised to achieve a simple and clear workflow for code maintenance, extension and upgrading. As a demonstration, we apply our recent work on deep learning for predicting chemical kinetics (Zhang et al. Combust. Flame vol. 245 pp. 112319, 2022) to highlight the potential of machine learning in accelerating reacting flow simulation. A thorough code validation is conducted via a broad range of canonical cases to assess its accuracy and efficiency. The results demonstrate that the convection-diffusion-reaction algorithms implemented in DeepFlame are robust and accurate for both steady-state and transient processes. In addition, a number of methods aiming to further improve the computational efficiency, e.g. dynamic load balancing and adaptive mesh refinement, are explored. Their performances are also evaluated and reported. With the deep learning method implemented in this work, a speed-up of two orders of magnitude is achieved in a simple hydrogen ignition case when performed on a medium-end graphics processing unit (GPU). Further gain in computational efficiency is expected for hydrocarbon and other complex fuels. A similar level of acceleration is obtained on an AI-specific chip - deep computing unit (DCU), highlighting the potential of DeepFlame in leveraging the next-generation computing architecture and hardware.
