description: As algorithms become an influential component of government decision-making around the world, policymakers have debated how governments can attain the benefits of algorithms while preventing the harms of algorithms. One mechanism that has become a centerpiece of global efforts to regulate government algorithms is to require human oversight of algorithmic decisions. Despite the widespread turn to human oversight, these policies rest on an uninterrogated assumption: that people are able to effectively oversee algorithmic decision-making. In this article, I survey 41 policies that prescribe human oversight of government algorithms and find that they suffer from two significant flaws. First, evidence suggests that people are unable to perform the desired oversight functions. Second, as a result of the first flaw, human oversight policies legitimize government uses of faulty and controversial algorithms without addressing the fundamental issues with these tools. Thus, rather than protect against the potential harms of algorithmic decision-making in government, human oversight policies provide a false sense of security in adopting algorithms and enable vendors and agencies to shirk accountability for algorithmic harms. In light of these flaws, I propose a shift from human oversight to institutional oversight as the central mechanism for regulating government algorithms. This institutional approach operates in two stages. First, agencies must justify that it is appropriate to incorporate an algorithm into decision-making and that any proposed forms of human oversight are supported by empirical evidence. Second, these justifications must receive democratic public review and approval before the agency can adopt the algorithm.

description: Tensor-based methods have been widely studied to attack inverse problems in hyperspectral imaging since a hyperspectral image (HSI) cube can be naturally represented as a third-order tensor, which can perfectly retain the spatial information in the image. In this article, we extend the linear tensor method to the nonlinear tensor method and propose a nonlinear low-rank tensor unmixing algorithm to solve the generalized bilinear model (GBM). Specifically, the linear and nonlinear parts of the GBM can both be expressed as tensors. Furthermore, the low-rank structures of abundance maps and nonlinear interaction abundance maps are exploited by minimizing their nuclear norm, thus taking full advantage of the high spatial correlation in HSIs. Synthetic and real-data experiments show that the low rank of abundance maps and nonlinear interaction abundance maps exploited in our method can improve the performance of the nonlinear unmixing. A MATLAB demo of this work will be available at https://github.com/LinaZhuang for the sake of reproducibility.
Parallel implementation of multibody dynamics for real-time simulation
Creators: name: Wong, Darrell
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: A multibody dynamics formulation has been developed for the purposes of real-time simulation of large scale robotic mechanisms such as excavators. The formulation models the rigid body dynamics of any arbitrary tree structured mechanism, although at present the formulation is restricted to single degree of freedom rotational joints. This formulation is an example of the orthogonal complement approach, which describes the dynamics by projecting an initial description of the primitive equations of motion (the derivatives of translational and angular momentum plus the kinematic equations) from angular and translational Cartesian coordinates to relative angles. In this thesis the approach was developed from Newtonian and Eulerian principles. Novel single cpu algorithms for inertia matrix and force vector formation have been implemented. Novel multiprocessor algorithms were implemented for the inertia matrix and the force vector on a 2d [formula omitted] triangular mesh architecture. A feedforward systolic matrix solution technique was also implemented. These algorithms are of O(n) complexity, and together they form a parallel formulation which is more efficient than other parallel formulations in the literature for mechanisms with fewer than 15 degrees of freedom. A Caterpillar 215B excavator was simulated in real-time using an array of transputers, and teleoperation experiments were conducted to verify the formulation. Single cpu simulations of the PUMA 600 and a human torso were also conducted.

description: In author name disambiguation, author forenames are used to decide which name instances are disambiguated together and how much they are likely to refer to the same author. Despite such a crucial role of forenames, their effect on the performances of heuristic (string matching) and algorithmic disambiguation is not well understood. This study assesses the contributions of forenames in author name disambiguation using multiple labeled datasets under varying ratios and lengths of full forenames, reflecting real-world scenarios in which an author is represented by forename variants (synonym) and some authors share the same forenames (homonym). Results show that increasing the ratios of full forenames improves substantially the performances of both heuristic and machine-learning-based disambiguation. Performance gains by algorithmic disambiguation are pronounced when many forenames are initialized or homonym is prevalent. As the ratios of full forenames increase, however, they become marginal compared to the performances by string matching. Using a small portion of forename strings does not reduce much the performances of both heuristic and algorithmic disambiguation compared to using full-length strings. These findings provide practical suggestions such as restoring initialized forenames into a full-string format via record linkage for improved disambiguation performances.

Detection of extended very-high-energy gamma-ray emission towards the young stellar cluster Westerlund 2

description: Results from gamma-ray observations by the H.E.S.S. telescope array in the direction of the young stellar cluster Westerlund 2 are presented. Stereoscopic imaging of Cherenkov light emission of gamma-ray induced showers in the atmosphere is used to study the celestial region around the massive Wolf-Rayet (WR) binary WR 20a. Spectral and positional analysis is performed using standard event reconstruction techniques and parameter cuts. The detection of a new gamma-ray source is reported from H.E.S.S. observations in 2006. HESS J1023-575 is found to be coincident with the young stellar cluster Westerlund 2 in the well-known HII complex RCW 49. The source is detected with a statistical significance of more than 9 sigma, and shows extension beyond a point-like object within the H.E.S.S. point-spread function. The differential gamma-ray spectrum of the emission region is measured over approximately two orders of magnitude in flux. The spatial coincidence between HESS J1023-575 and the young open cluster Westerlund 2, hosting e.g. the massive WR binary WR 20a, requires a look into a variety of potential models to account for the observed very-high-energy (VHE) gamma-ray emission. Considered emission scenarios include emission from the colliding wind zone of WR 20a, collective stellar winds from the extraordinary ensemble of hot and massive stars in the stellar cluster Westerlund 2, diffusive shock acceleration in the wind-blown bubble itself, and supersonic winds breaking out into the interstellar medium (ISM). The observed source extension argues against a single star origin of the observed VHE emission.

XRF 050406 late-time flattening: an inverse Compton component?

description: We investigate for possible evidence of inverse Compton (IC) emission in the X-ray afterglow of XRF 050406. In the framework of the standard fireball model, we show how the late-time flattening observed in the X-ray light curve between \~10^{4} s and ~10^{6} s can be explained in a synchrotron-plus-IC scenario, when the IC peak frequency crosses the X-ray band. We thus conclude that the appearance of an IC component above the synchrotron one at late times successfully accounts for these X-ray observations.

Σύμφωνα με τα αποτελέσματα η επίδραση των εποχικών καλλιεργητικών πρακτικών αποδείχτηκε πολύ πιο ισχυρή από αυτή του τρόπου καλλιέργειας. Η υψηλή ποικιλομορφία στα εδαφικά χαρακτηριστικά των οργανικών καλλιεργειών έδειξε πως καμιά από αυτές δεν έχει αναπτύξει μοναδικά χαρακτηριστικά.. Αν και τα τρία χρόνια θεωρούνται το αναγκαίο διάστημα για τη μετάβαση από συμβατική σε οργανική γεωργία, τα αποτελέσματα δεν φανέρωσαν αλλαγές στην ποιότητα εδάφους. Ακόμη και έξι χρόνια οργανικής καλλιέργειας δεν είναι αρκετά να αποκτήσουν τα εδάφη συγκεκριμένη ταυτότητα
description: Τhe subject of this thesis concerns the organically and conventionally cultivated soils and the study of the possible differences of their physical, biochemical and morphometric parameters. We compared soil variables among fields with different duration of organic cultivation (2 (O2), 3(O3), 5 (O5) and 6 (O6) yrs) and between these fields and a conventional one (Σ). All fields were planted with a common perennial plant (Asparagus officinalis (L.)) and they were subject to the same seasonal management practices (fertilizing, crop harvest, incorporation of aboveground residues etc). It was explored which factor exerts the greatest influence on soil variables; management type(organic of conventional) or management practices. Moreover, it was investigated which of the tested soil parameters could be used as indicators reflecting differences in soil quality. The effect of the seasonal management practices was by far stronger than that of the management type. The high variability in soil characteristics of the organic cultivations showed that none of them totally differed. Even though three years is the necessary time period for the transition from conventional to organic farming the results did not show differences in soil quality. Moreover, six years of organic farming were not enough for the soil to develop a specific identity

The topology analyzed consists of acoplanar jets with missing transverse energy. The data show good agreement with standard model expectations, and a lower mass limit of 136 GeV has been set at the 95% C.L. for a scalar leptoquark decaying exclusively into a quark and a neutrino.

description: We study the scaled variances of multiplicity fluctuations in nucleus-nucleus collisions at SPS and RHIC energies within the HSD transport model. The HSD results are compared with proton-proton data and with predictions of the hadron-resonance gas statistical model. We find that the HSD scaled variances $ω_i$ for negatively, positively, and all charged hadrons in central nucleus-nucleus collisions remain close to the $ω_i$ values in proton-proton collisions and increase with collision energy as the corresponding multiplicities per participating nucleon. The statistical model predicts very different behavior of $ω_i$. However, a comparison with preliminary NA49 data for the most central Pb+Pb collisions at SPS energies does not permit to distinguish the HSD and statistical model results. New measurements of the multiplicity fluctuations in nucleus-nucleus collisions in a wide energy region with large acceptance are needed to allow for a proper determination of the underlying dynamics.

description: The aim of this paper is to improve the accuracy of copy-move forgery detection (CMFD) in image forensics by proposing a novel scheme and the main contribution is evolving circular domains coverage (ECDC) algorithm. The proposed scheme integrates both block-based and keypoint-based forgery detection methods. Firstly, the speed-up robust feature (SURF) in log-polar space and the scale invariant feature transform (SIFT) are extracted from an entire image. Secondly, generalized 2 nearest neighbor (g2NN) is employed to get massive matched pairs. Then, random sample consensus (RANSAC) algorithm is employed to filter out mismatched pairs, thus allowing rough localization of counterfeit areas. To present these forgery areas more accurately, we propose the efficient and accurate ECDC algorithm to present them. This algorithm can find satisfactory threshold areas by extracting block features from jointly evolving circular domains, which are centered on matched pairs. Finally, morphological operation is applied to refine the detected forgery areas. Experimental results indicate that the proposed CMFD scheme can achieve better detection performance under various attacks compared with other state-of-the-art CMFD schemes.

We obtain the energy eigenvalues and the corresponding eigenfunctions for different screening parameters. The wave functions are physical and energy eigenvalues are in good agreement with the results obtained by other methods for different $δ$ values. In order to demonstrate this, the results of the asymptotic iteration method are compared with the results of the supersymmetry, the numerical integration, the variational and the shifted 1/N expansion methods.

description: This report reflects on the findings of one of the projects within a series of research studies in the field of multimodality conducted by the author of the current paper with different samples of participants in the US university settings. The principal investigator (PI) designed this qualitative case study and had it approved by the IRB committee. Vygotsky’s socio-cultural constructivism theory has been found most appropriate to lay the ground for this research as the sample was purposefully assembled of 14 International English language learning (ELL) students newly arrived in the United States from their significantly diverging social and academic backgrounds. The PI’s practical teaching experiences and the results of her previously conducted studies with the other groups of participants urged this researcher to further search for some efficient strategies and means of learning, which might help these specific student populations with their deeper reading comprehension of complicated academic texts they were otherwise struggling to comprehend. As claimed by this investigator, usage of multimodality might have a strong potential to assist the International ELL college students with their reading comprehension. Within this current project, data were collected via participant and site observations, surveys, artifacts in the form of the comprehension tests, and individual interviews with participants. All the data were coded, analyzed, and triangulated aiming to find recurring themes. This research found that participants recognized the visual mode of multimodality most helpful to them, followed by the auditory, and print-based ones. In the surveys and interviews, the participating students outlined a range of multimodal reading comprehension strategies, which they perceived as most efficient while their working on this project tasks. The comprehension test results served as the evidence in support of the interview-and survey-based data. High significance of the findings of this research is in their applicability to the wide populations of the International ELL college students in the US colleges and world-wide.

description: The ground state of hard-core bosons on the square lattice with nearest and next-nearest neighbor repulsion is studied by Quantum Monte Carlo simulations. A supersolid phase with vacancy condensation and 'star' diagonal ordering is found for filling less than a quarter. At fillings above one quarter, a supersolid phase exists between the star and the stripe crystal at half-filling. No supersolid phase occurs above quarter-filling, if the ground state at half-filling is either a checkerboard crystal or a superfluid. No commensurate supersolid phase is observed.

description: Understanding movies and their structural patterns is a crucial task in decoding the craft of video editing. While previous works have developed tools for general analysis, such as detecting characters or recognizing cinematography properties at the shot level, less effort has been devoted to understanding the most basic video edit, the Cut. This paper introduces the Cut type recognition task, which requires modeling multi-modal information. To ignite research in this new task, we construct a large-scale dataset called MovieCuts, which contains 173,967 video clips labeled with ten cut types defined by professionals in the movie industry. We benchmark a set of audio-visual approaches, including some dealing with the problem's multi-modal nature. Our best model achieves 47.7% mAP, which suggests that the task is challenging and that attaining highly accurate Cut type recognition is an open research problem. Advances in automatic Cut-type recognition can unleash new experiences in the video editing industry, such as movie analysis for education, video re-editing, virtual cinematography, machine-assisted trailer generation, machine-assisted video editing, among others.

Flavor content of nucleon form factors

description: The flavor content of nucleon form factors is analyzed using two different theoretical approaches. The first is based on a phenomenological two-component model in which the external photon couples to both an intrinsic three-quark structure and a meson cloud via vector-meson dominance. The flavor content of the nucleon form factors is extracted without introducing any additional parameter. A comparison with recent data from parity-violating electron scattering experiments shows a good overall agreement for the strange form factors. A more microscopic approach is that of an unquenched quark model proposed by Geiger and Isgur which is based on valence quark plus glue dominance to which quark-antiquark pairs are added in perturbation. In the original version the importance of $s \bar{s}$ loops in the proton was studied. Here we present the formalism for a new generation of unquenched quark models which, among other extensions, includes the contributions of $u \bar{u}$ and $d \bar{d}$ loops. Finally, we discuss some preliminary results in the closure limit.

description: We study the effect of quantum fluctuations on the half-polarized magnetization plateau of a pyrochlore antiferromagnet. We argue that an expansion around the easy axis limit is appropriate for discussing the ground state selection amongst the classically degenerate manifold of collinear states with a 3:1 ratio of spins parallel/anti-parallel to the magnetization axis. A general approach to the necessary degenerate perturbation theory is presented, and an effective quantum dimer model within this degenerate manifold is derived for arbitrary spin $s$. We also generalize the existing semiclassical analysis of Hizi and Henley [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 73}, 054403 (2006)] to the easy axis limit, and show that both approaches agree at large $s$. We show that under rather general conditions, the first non-constant terms in the effective Hamiltonian for $s\geq 1$ occur only at {\sl sixth} order in the transverse exchange coupling. For $s\geq 3/2$, the effective Hamiltonian predicts a magnetically ordered state. For $s\leq 1$ more exotic possibilities may be realized, though an analytical solution of the resulting quantum dimer model is not possible.

Effect of dietary manganese and vitamin E deficiencies on tissue antioxidant status in STZ-diabetic rats
Creators: name: Thompson, Katherine Hirsch
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Interactions between manganese (Mn) deficiency and streptozotocin (STZ)-diabetes with respect to tissue antioxidant status were investigated in male, Sprague-Dawley rats. All rats were fed either a Mn-deficient (1 ppm) or a Mn-sufficient (45 ppm) diet for 8 weeks. Diabetes was then induced by tail-vein injection of STZ (60 mg/kg body weight), after which the rats were kept for an additional 4 to 8 weeks. The control groups comprised rats not injected with STZ, which were either Mn-deficient or Mn-sufficient. The Mn-deficient diet decreased the activities of manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD) in kidney and heart, and of copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD) in kidney, in non-diabetic animals. In the diabetic rats, the Mn-deficient diet induced more pronounced decreases in activities of these same enzymes, and also increased liver MnSOD activity. Pancreas weights were significantly lower in Mn-deficient, compared to Mn-sufficient rats. Also, Mn-deficient, diabetic rats were significantly more hyperglycemic in response to a glucose load than Mn-sufficient, suggesting that they may have been more severely diabetic. Surprisingly, plasma and hepatic vitamin E levels increased progressively with the duration of diabetes. Lipid peroxidation, as measured by H₂O₂ -induced production of thiobarbituric acid reactive substances in erythrocytes, plasma lipoperoxides, and renal adipose tissue fluorescence, also increased concomitant with decreased liver and kidney glutathione levels. The effect of vitamin E-deficiency on Mn-deficient, diabetic rats was also investigated. Predictably, vitamin E-deficient rats were almost entirely depleted of plasma and liver vitamin E after 12 weeks on the deficient diets (4 weeks after STZ treatment). Consistent with this, tissue lipid peroxides were elevated compared to vitamin E-sufficient rats. Superimposing vitamin E-deficiency on manganese deficiency failed to add any further deficits in tissue antioxidant status. Higher glycosylated hemoglobin levels were observed in vitamin E-deficient, compared to vitamin E-sufficient, diabetic rats. These findings demonstrate for the first time an interactive effect between manganese deficiency and STZ-diabetes resulting in amplification of tissue antioxidant changes seen with either manganese deficiency or STZ-diabetes alone. This effect of cofactor deprivation in experimental diabetes raises the question of adequacy of the nominally Mn-sufficient diet in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.

description: We report ballistic transport measurements in a two-dimensional electron system confined to an AlAs quantum well and patterned with square antidot lattices of period $a = $0.6, 0.8, 1.0 and 1.5 $μ$m. In this system two in-plane conduction-band valleys with elliptical Fermi contours are occupied. The low-field magneto-resistance traces exhibit peaks corresponding to the commensurability of the cyclotron orbits and the antidot lattice. From the dependence of the position of the peak associated with the smallest commensurate orbit on electron density and $a$, we deduce the ratio of the longitudinal and transverse effective masses $m_l/m_t=5.2\pm 0.4$, a fundamental parameter for the anisotropic conduction bands in AlAs.

description: Soil erosion decreases agricultural soil productivity by lowering crop yields and increasing the need for fertilizer and lime. Another 100 years of erosion at 1982 levels would lower the productivity of the Nation's crop and fiber sector by 3.6 percent. This figure is an average: many soils will be little affected, a few will lose much of their productivity. Such variation in soil productivity suggests that erosion prevention funds be targeted to those acres most vulnerable. However, such targeting should also consider the mounting costs to society from offsite pollution caused by agricultural soil erosion.

Charged Lepton EDM with Extra Yukawa Couplings

description: In a two Higgs doublet model with extra Yukawa couplings, we assess the new physics contributions to charged lepton electric dipole moment. We focus especially on muon (and tau) EDM where in the coming decade several experiments $-$ Muon g-2, J-PARC and PSI (and Belle II) $-$ will push sensitivities down by several orders of magnitude. With the working assumption that extra Yukawa couplings are analogous to SM ones in strength and taking exotic scalar masses in sub-TeV range, we find that $μ$ and $τ$ EDM can be enhanced to values larger than new physics scenarios that scale with lepton mass. The main effect comes from the flavor-conserving extra top coupling $ρ_{tt}$ via well-known two-loop diagrams. Deviating from our working assumption, if the muon $g-2$ anomaly arises from the one-loop diagram, driven by singly enhanced lepton flavor violating $ρ_{τμ}$ coupling, it can also induce rather large muon EDM, accessible at upcoming experiments.

description: Within the framework of a dinuclear system (DNS) model, the evaporation-residue excitation functions and the quasi-fission mass yields in the $^{48}$Ca induced fusion reactions are investigated systematically and compared with available experimental data. Maximal production cross sections of superheavy nuclei based on stable actinide targets are obtained. Isotopic trends in the production of the superheavy elements Z=110, 112-118 based on the actinide isotopic targets are analyzed systematically. Optimal evaporation channels and combinations as well as the corresponding excitation energies are proposed. The possible factors that influencing the isotopic dependence of the production cross sections are analyzed. The formation of the superheavy nuclei based on the isotopes U with different projectiles are also investigated and calculated.

description: In this project we are presenting a grammar which unify the design and development of spatial databases. In order to make it, we combine nominal and spatial information, the former is represented by the relational model and latter by a modification of the same model. The modification lets to represent spatial data structures (as Quadtrees, Octrees, etc.) in a integrated way. This grammar is important because with it we can create tools to build systems that combine spatial-nominal characteristics such as Geographical Information Systems (GIS), Hypermedia Systems, Computed Aided Design Systems (CAD), and so on

Quantization and noiseless measurements
Creators: name: Kiukas, J.
name: Lahti, P.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In accordance with the fact that quantum measurements are described in terms of positive operator measures (POMs), we consider certain aspects of a quantization scheme in which a classical variable $f:\R^2\to \R$ is associated with a unique positive operator measure (POM) $E^f$, which is not necessarily projection valued. The motivation for such a scheme comes from the well-known fact that due to the noise in a quantum measurement, the resulting outcome distribution is given by a POM and cannot, in general, be described in terms of a traditional observable, a selfadjoint operator. Accordingly, we notice that the noiseless measurements are the ones which are determined by a selfadjoint operator. The POM $E^f$ in our quantization is defined through its moment operators, which are required to be of the form $Γ(f^k)$, $k\in \N$, with $Γ$ a fixed map from classical variables to Hilbert space operators. In particular, we consider the quantization of classical \emph{questions}, that is, functions $f:\R^2\to\R$ taking only values 0 and 1. We compare two concrete realizations of the map $Γ$ in view of their ability to produce noiseless measurements: one being the Weyl map, and the other defined by using phase space probability distributions.

description: A potentially smaller supply of immigrant farmworkers due to the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986 would not equally affect the Nation's 813,400 U.S. farm employers. Farms with annual sales of $500,000 or more, farms specializing in vegetables, fruit and tree nuts, and horticultural specialty crops, and farms in the Pacific and Southeast regions may be most affected. Beef, hog, and sheep operations, with the lowest average labor expenses, may be least affected. About 27,000 farms with annual sales of $500,000 or more reported over 46 percent of U.S. farm labor costs. Vegetable farms, fruit and tree nut farms, nurseries, and greenhouses had the highest average labor expenses per operation in this sales class and cash grain farms had the lowest. Farms in the Pacific, Southeast, and Northeast combined accounted for about half of all farm labor expenses.
