description: In this paper, we propose a novel approach to the rank minimization problem, termed rank residual constraint (RRC) model. Different from existing low-rank based approaches, such as the well-known nuclear norm minimization (NNM) and the weighted nuclear norm minimization (WNNM), which estimate the underlying low-rank matrix directly from the corrupted observations, we progressively approximate the underlying low-rank matrix via minimizing the rank residual. Through integrating the image nonlocal self-similarity (NSS) prior with the proposed RRC model, we apply it to image restoration tasks, including image denoising and image compression artifacts reduction. Towards this end, we first obtain a good reference of the original image groups by using the image NSS prior, and then the rank residual of the image groups between this reference and the degraded image is minimized to achieve a better estimate to the desired image. In this manner, both the reference and the estimated image are updated gradually and jointly in each iteration. Based on the group-based sparse representation model, we further provide a theoretical analysis on the feasibility of the proposed RRC model. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed RRC model outperforms many state-of-the-art schemes in both the objective and perceptual quality.

description: The three volumes of The Coronado Project present a wealth of information on the archaeology of the Puerco Valley of east-central Arizona. The Coronado Project provided a rare opportunity to revisit and further explore previously investigated sites, thus generating modifications to some previous interpretations and perceptions. In Volume 3, a synthesis of the project data, project authors examine architecture and chronology, review ceramics in a regional context, and assess settlement data. They then evaluate each of the project sites according to function, cultural affiliation, and temporal associations. They also determine the effects of resource depletion and environmental degradation upon the Cottonwood Seep community and discuss subsistence and farming strategies. The final chapter summarizes the project results and evaluates the application of the research design in attempting to address each goal.
On the Equivalence of Dual Theories

description: We discuss the equivalence of two dual scalar field theories in 2 dimensions. The models are derived though the elimination of different fields in the same Freedman--Townsend model. It is shown that tree $S$-matrices of these models do not coincide. The 2-loop counterterms are calculated. It turns out that while one of these models is single-charged, the other theory is multi-charged. Thus the dual models considered are non-equivalent on classical and quantum levels. It indicates the possibility of the anomaly leading to non-equivalence of dual models.

description: Simulations of particle showers in calorimeters are computationally time-consuming, as they have to reproduce both energy depositions and their considerable fluctuations. A new approach to ultra-fast simulations are generative models where all calorimeter energy depositions are generated simultaneously. We use GEANT4 simulations of an electron beam impinging on a multi-layer electromagnetic calorimeter for adversarial training of a generator network and a critic network guided by the Wasserstein distance. The generator is constraint during the training such that the generated showers show the expected dependency on the initial energy and the impact position. It produces realistic calorimeter energy depositions, fluctuations and correlations which we demonstrate in distributions of typical calorimeter observables. In most aspects, we observe that generated calorimeter showers reach the level of showers as simulated with the GEANT4 program.

Year: 1998
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Theory (nucl-th)

description: We use equations for Faddeev amplitudes to solve the shell-model problem for four nucleons in the model space that includes up to 14 hbar Omega harmonic-oscillator excitations above the unperturbed ground state. Two- and three-body effective interactions derived from the Reid93 and Argonne V8' nucleon-nucleon potentials are used in the calculations. Binding energies, excitations energies, point-nucleon radii and electromagnetic and strangeness charge form factors for 4He are studied. The structure of the Faddeev-like equations is discussed and a formula for matrix elements of the permutation operators in a harmonic-oscillator basis is given. The dependence on harmonic-oscillator excitations allowed in the model space and on the harmonic-oscillator frequency is investigated. It is demonstrated that the use of the three-body effective interactions improves the convergence of the results.

Contributions of the one-nucleon and one-pion exchange mechanisms to the cross section and polarization observables are investigated in explicit form. Results of numerical calculations for the cross section, tensor analyzing power and spin transfers are presented. The one-pion exchange contribution is essential for describing the spin averaged cross section, while in polarization observables it is found to be less important.

We give an estimate of the strength of the interaction in various regimes. We discuss also the case of Non-Commutative super Yang-Mills theory where the interaction between instantons and anti-instantons can be used as a way to probe the locality properties of the theory in the supergravity picture, without explicit reference to the definition of local operators.

description: Archaeological testing was conducted on a portion of Crismon Pueblo (AZ U:9:173 [ASM]), the Denmark School site, and a segment of additional property between Gilbert Road and Thomas Road in the right-of-way of the Red Mountain Freeway (State Route 202) in Mesa, Maricopa County, Arizona. The project area was originally covered with in-use citrus orchards. Therefore, prior to the initiation of fieldwork, tree removal was conducted within and adjacent to the right-of-way, which required monitoring.Testing consisted of the excavation, inspection, and documentation of 345 backhoe trenches to obtain information on the subsurface distribution of cultural deposits in the right of way and to develop eligibility recommendations for Crismon Pueblo (AZ U:9:173 [ASM]) and the Denmark School site for listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Artifacts were collected from the modern ground surface and from the trench excavations as part of the fieldwork. At the time of this writing, artifact analysis was not yet complete. The integrity of cultural resources and the recommendations regarding those resources within the right-of-way is currently based only on field observations. Therefore, the recommendations for data recovery presented in this report are based on field observations only.
On Matrix KP and Super-KP Hierarchies in the Homogeneous Grading
Creators: name: Toppan, Francesco
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1995
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Constrained KP and super-KP hierarchies of integrable equations (generalized NLS hierarchies) are systematically produced through a Lie algebraic AKS-matrix framework associated to the homogeneous grading. The role played by different regular elements to define the corresponding hierarchies is analyzed as well as the symmetry properties under the Weyl group transformations. The coset structure of higher order hamiltonian densities is proven.\par For a generic Lie algebra the hierarchies here considered are integrable and essentially dependent on continuous free parameters. The bosonic hierarchies studied in \cite{{FK},{AGZ}} are obtained as special limit restrictions on hermitian symmetric-spaces.\par In the supersymmetric case the homogeneous grading is introduced consistently by using alternating sums of bosons and fermions in the spectral parameter power series.\par The bosonic hierarchies obtained from ${\hat {sl(3)}}$ and the supersymmetric ones derived from the $N=1$ affinization of $sl(2)$, $sl(3)$ and $osp(1|2)$ are explicitly constructed. \par An unexpected result is found: only a restricted subclass of the $sl(3)$ bosonic hierarchies can be supersymmetrically extended while preserving integrability.

description: We compare the statistics of tin whisker diameters to that of the underlying film grains. Both are well approximated by the lognormal distributions. However, the parameters of those distributions can be rather different, not confirming the assumption that each whisker grows from a single grain. We conclude that several adjacent grains with similar crystal orientations can contribute to a whisker development. Our observations are consistent with the recent theory of multi-filament whisker structure. A modification of the particle size log-normal distribution is developed clarifying the nature of its dispersion.

description: The multipartite correlations derived from local measurements on some composite quantum systems are inconsistent with those reproduced classically. This inconsistency is known as quantum nonlocality and shows a milestone in the foundations of quantum theory. Still, it is NP hard to decide a nonlocal quantum state. We investigate an extended question: how to characterize the nonlocal properties of quantum states that are distributed and measured in networks. We first prove the generic tripartite nonlocality of chain-shaped quantum networks using semiquantum nonlocal games. We then introduce a new approach to prove the generic activated nonlocality as a result of entanglement swapping for all bipartite entangled states. The result is further applied to show the multipartite nonlocality and activated nonlocality for all nontrivial quantum networks consisting of any entangled states. Our results provide the nonlocality witnesses and quantum superiorities of all connected quantum networks or nontrivial hybrid networks in contrast to classical networks.

description:   Artificial intelligence (AI) applications are becoming increasingly com mon in humans’ daily lives. However, to be truly useful for us, AI need to  be not only task solvers, but also decision makers that interact with us and  other AI agents intelligently in the grounded world.  
This thesis studies this capability of AI, defining the concept of artificial  social intelligence. Humans’ social intelligence emphasizes relationship man agement in an interpersonal context, while artificial social intelligence covers  a wider range of capabilities, from rudimentary ones, e.g. maintaining memory and self-consistency, to more sophisticated ones, e.g. realizing long-term  goals in social and embodied interactions.  
There are three key challenges in achieving social intelligence:  

 Safe and strategic decision making in social interactions: to identify and  tackle these challenges, this thesis will introduce a platform that makes  it easy to develop and deploy socially intelligent AI agents in automated  environments, called Sotopia. Sotopia provides the mechanisms for  training and evaluating agents through social interactions.  
 Understanding humans’ intention and mental models: this thesis will  also present the computational implementation of the core mechanism  of socially intelligent agents: Theory of Mind (ToM). I will show how  ToM is useful for quickly adapting to new interlocutors, and even helps  language agents acquire language skills through social interactions. 
 Grounding social interactions in the physical world: finally, this thesis  will discuss two ways to ground social interactions. The first is to  ground them in the virtual and embodied world, and the second is  to ground them in the physical world. Following the first way, this  thesis introduces two benchmarks that test AI agents’ abilities to follow  instructions and answer grounded questions. And following the second  way, I will demonstrate Sotopia-Robots, an extension of Sotopia that  highlights realistic human-robot interaction.  

This thesis studies a new field for AI research– social intelligence which intersects with various traditional AI fields: Cognitive Science, Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Robotics. Through identifying the  various challenges, I build up the prototype of an ecosystem that can unify  vastly different environments and allow for future research advances on the  training, evaluation, and deployment of socially intelligent AI in the real  world.
Free Large N Supersymmetric Yang-Mills Theory as a String Theory

description: The strong version of Maldacena's AdS/CFT conjecture implies that the large N expansion of free N=4 super-YM theory describes an interacting string theory in the extreme limit of high spacetime curvature relative to the string length. String states may then be understood as composed of SYM string bits. We investigate part of the low-lying spectrum of the tensionless (zero-coupling) limit and find a large number of states that are not present in the infinite tension (strong-coupling) limit, notably several massless spin two particles. We observe that all conformal dimensions are N-independent in the free SYM theory, implying that masses in the corresponding string theory are unchanged by string interactions. Degenerate string states do however mix in the interacting string theory because of the complicated N-dependence of general CFT two-point functions. Finally we verify the CFT crossing symmetry, which corresponds to the dual properties of string scattering amplitudes. This means that the SYM operator correlation functions define AdS dual models analogous to the Minkowski dual models that gave rise to string theory.

Some combinatorial properties of the inherited conics are obtained also in those cases when it is not an arc. The key ingredient of the proof is an old lemma by Segre-Korchmáros on Desargues configurations with perspective triangles inscribed in a conic.

The surveyed property is on Arizona State Trust Land administered by the Arizona State Land Department. The work was requested by the Salt River Project (SRP) to determine if significant cultural resources were present within the project area. Tiffany Clark and Greg Schachner of Desert Archaeology, Inc. completed the survey in one person-day on 16 September 2005. Kathleen Henderson, Ph.D., of Desert Archaeology served as Principal Investigator for the project. Six isolated occurrences of cultural material were recorded by the survey, but no archaeological sites or other significant cultural resources were found. A recommendation is made that future construction of the Dinosaur Substation will have no effect on significant cultural properties and that this work can proceed as planned.

description: Background: It is well established throughout the literature that regularly engaging in physical activity throughout pregnancy is associated with optimized health outcomes for both the mother and the fetus. The mediators and mechanistic pathways through which these observed exercise-induced outcomes are achieved are largely unknown. This thesis attempts to address this gap in knowledge. Methods: The objective of the first study was to develop an exercise protocol based on the recommendations from the ‘2019 Canadian guideline for physical activity throughout pregnancy’ and to subsequently evaluate the myokine response post-exercise. Pregnant (n=13) and non-pregnant (n=17) women performed a moderate-intensity bout of treadmill walking following which pre- and post-exercise serum for a panel of ten well-characterized myokines was analyzed. The objective of the second study was to evaluate whether acute and/or chronic exercise elicited changes in metrics of placental growth and development – thereby proposing possible mechanisms through which physical activity may be conferring health benefits to the fetus. Serum (pre- and post-exercise) collected from the first study was used to treat placental cell lines to assess the effect of acute exercise on cellular proliferation as well as nutrient transporter (GLUT1, SNAT1, FATP4) expression and localization. Term placental tissue collected from active (n=10) and non-active (n=10) participants in the PLACENTA study were used to evaluate the role of chronic exercise on changes in nutrient transporter (GLUT1, SNAT1, FATP4) expression and localization. Results: Pregnant women from the first study exhibited higher levels of four myokines post- versus pre-exercise: FGF21, EPO, BDNF and IL-15. As for the second study, BeWo cell lines treated with serum collected from pregnant women yielded higher GLUT1 expression compared to non-pregnant serum, independently of exercise. Lastly, FATP4 expression was found to be higher in term placentas of active compared to non-active pregnant women. Conclusion: This thesis identified four myokines that are elevated in the serum of pregnant women following a bout of acute exercise. The role of these myokines in pregnancy remains to be elucidated. Further, chronic and acute exercise are shown to alter expression of key placental macronutrient transporters.
Quasilinear particle transport from gyrokinetic instabilities in general magnetic geometry

Year: 2018
Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The quasilinear particle flux arising from gyrokinetic instabilities is calculated in the electrostatic and collisionless approximation, keeping the geometry of the magnetic field arbitrary. In particular, the flux of electrons and heavy impurity ions is studied in the limit where the former move quickly, and the latter slowly, along the field compared with the mode frequency. Conclusions are drawn about how the particle fluxes of these species depend on the magnetic-field geometry, mode structure and frequency of the instability. Under some conditions, such as everywhere favourable or unfavourable magnetic curvature and modest temperature gradients, it is possible to make general statements about the fluxes independently of the details of the instability. In quasi-isodynamic stellarators with favourable bounce-averaged curvature for most particles, the particle flux is always outward if the temperature gradient is not too large, suggesting that it might be difficult to fuel such devices with gas puffing from the wall. In devices with predominantly unfavourable magnetic curvature, the particle flux can be inward, resulting in spontaneous density peaking in the centre of the plasma. In the limit of highly charged impurities, ordinary diffusion (proportional to the density gradient) dominates over other transport channels and the diffusion coefficient becomes independent of mass and charge. An estimate for the level of transport caused by magnetic-field fluctuations arising from ion-temperature-gradient instabilities is also given and is shown to be small compared with the electrostatic component.

description: The quark delocalization and color screening model is used for a systematic study of the effective potential between baryons in the u,d and s sector. The model is constrained by the properties of baryons and N-N scattering. The effective potentials for the N-N (IJ=01,10,11,00) channels and the N-Lambda and N-Sigma (IJ = (1/2)1, (1/2)0, (3/2)1, (3/2)0) channels fit the N-N, N-Lambda and N-Sigma scattering data reasonably well. This model predicts: There are rather strong effective attractions between decuplet-baryons; the effective attractions between octet-baryons are weak or even repulsive; and the attractions between decuplet- and octet-baryons lie in between.

description: We work primarily with the Kripke frame consisting of two-dimensional Minkowski spacetime with the irreflexive accessibility relation 'can reach with a slower-than-light signal'. We show that in the basic temporal language, the set of validities over this frame is decidable. We then refine this to PSPACE-complete. In both cases the same result for the corresponding reflexive frame follows immediately. With a little more work we obtain PSPACE-completeness for the validities of the Halpern-Shoham logic of intervals on the real line with two different combinations of modalities.

A New Supersymmetric Compactification of Chiral IIB Supergravity

description: We present a new compactification of chiral, N=2 ten-dimensional supergravity down to five dimensions and show that it corresponds to the N=2 supersymmetric critical point of five-dimensional, N=8 gauged supergravity found in [KPW]. This solution presented here is of particular significance because it involves non-zero tensor gauge fields and, via the AdS/CFT correspondence, is dual to the non-trivial N=1 supersymmetric fixed point of N=4 Yang-Mills theory.

An attention model and its application in man-made scene interpretation
Creators: name: Jahangiri, Mohammad
Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: The ultimate aim of research into computer vision is designing a system which interprets its surrounding environment in a similar way the human can do effortlessly. However, the state of technology is far from achieving such a goal. In this thesis different components of a computer vision system that are designed for the task of interpreting man-made scenes, in particular images of buildings, are described. The flow of information in the proposed system is bottom-up i.e., the image is first segmented into its meaningful components and subsequently the regions are labelled using a contextual classifier. Starting from simple observations concerning the human vision system and the gestalt laws of human perception, like the law of “good (simple) shape” and “perceptual grouping”, a blob detector is developed, that identifies components in a 2D image. These components are convex regions of interest, with interest being defined as significant gradient magnitude content. An eye tracking experiment is conducted, which shows that the regions identified by the blob detector, correlate significantly with the regions which drive the attention of viewers. Having identified these blobs, it is postulated that a blob represents an object, linguistically identified with its own semantic name. In other words, a blob may contain a window a door or a chimney in a building. These regions are used to identify and segment higher order structures in a building, like facade, window array and also environmental regions like sky and ground. Because of inconsistency in the unary features of buildings, a contextual learning algorithm is used to classify the segmented regions. A model which learns spatial and topological relationships between different objects from a set of hand-labelled data, is used. This model utilises this information in a MRF to achieve consistent labellings of new scenes.
Structure Constants and Conformal Bootstrap in Liouville Field Theory

description: An analytic expression is proposed for the three-point function of the exponential fields in the Liouville field theory on a sphere. In the classical limit it coincides with what the classical Liouville theory predicts. Using this function as the structure constant of the operator algebra we construct the four-point function of the exponential fields and verify numerically that it satisfies the conformal bootstrap equations, i.e., that the operator algebra thus defined is associative. We consider also the Liouville reflection amplitude which follows explicitly from the structure constants.

Constraints on effective Lagrangian of D-branes from non-commutative gauge theory

description: It was argued that there are two different descriptions of the effective Lagrangian of gauge fields on D-branes by non-commutative gauge theory and by ordinary gauge theory in the presence of a constant B field background. In the case of bosonic string theory, however, it was found in the previous works that the two descriptions are incompatible under the field redefinition which relates the non-commutative gauge field to the ordinary one found by Seiberg and Witten. In this paper we resolve this puzzle to observe the necessity of gauge-invariant but B-dependent correction terms involving metric in the field redefinition which have not been considered before. With the problem resolved, we establish a systematic method under the alpha' expansion to derive the constraints on the effective Lagrangian imposed by the compatibility of the two descriptions where the form of the field redefinition is not assumed.

TeV SUSY dark matter confronted with the current direct and indirect detection data

description: In the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) the lightest superparticle (LSP) can be a TeV neutralino (mainly dominated by higgsino or wino) which serves as a dark matter candidate with correct thermal relic density. In this work we confront the 1-2 TeV neutralino dark matter with the latest direct and indirect detections from PandaX and AMS-02/DAMPE. Considering various scenarios with decoupled sfermions, with \textit{A}-mediated annihilation, with squark or stop coannihilation, we find that the parameter space is stringently constrained by the direct detection limits. In the allowed parameter space, the TeV neutralino dark matter annihilation contribution to the anti-proton flux is found to agree with the AMS-02 data while its contribution to eletron/positron flux is too small to cause any visible excess. The current survived parameter space can be mostly covered by the future direct detection experiment LZ7.2T.

Generalized Abelian S-duality and coset constructions

description: Electric-magnetic duality and higher dimensional analogues are obtained as symmetries in generalized coset constructions, similar to the axial-vector duality of two dimensional coset models described by Rocek and Verlinde. We also study global aspects of duality between p-forms and (d-p-2)-forms in d-manifolds. In particular, the modular duality anomaly is governed by the Euler character as in four and two dimensions. Duality transformations of Wilson line operator insertions are also considered.
