description: We present a novel algorithm for parameter learning in generic deep generative models that builds upon the predictive coding (PC) framework of computational neuroscience. Our approach modifies the standard PC algorithm to bring performance on-par and exceeding that obtained from standard variational auto-encoder (VAE) training. By injecting Gaussian noise into the PC inference procedure we re-envision it as an overdamped Langevin sampling, which facilitates optimisation with respect to a tight evidence lower bound (ELBO). We improve the resultant encoder-free training method by incorporating an encoder network to provide an amortised warm-start to our Langevin sampling and test three different objectives for doing so. Finally, to increase robustness to the sampling step size and reduce sensitivity to curvature, we validate a lightweight and easily computable form of preconditioning, inspired by Riemann Manifold Langevin and adaptive optimizers from the SGD literature. We compare against VAEs by training like-for-like generative models using our technique against those trained with standard reparameterisation-trick-based ELBOs. We observe our method out-performs or matches performance across a number of metrics, including sample quality, while converging in a fraction of the number of SGD training iterations.

On the thermodynamic invariance of fine-grain and coarse-grain fluid models

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In models of oceanic and atmospheric flows, thermodynamic functions and conservative variables may be defined up to a certain degree of arbitrariness, in the sense that, for a given set of observable quantities such as pressure and temperature, the predictions of the model are insensitive to, e.g. some reference enthalpies, entropies or pressures.Since the compressible Navier-Stokes-Fourier model, regarded as a "mother" fine-grain model, is invariant with respect to arbitrary changes in reference enthalpies and entropies, restricted only by phase change, any coarse-grain model obtained, even conceptually, from it must be invariant at least to the same extent. Upon examination, it is found that the dependence of usual conservative variables to a reference pressure propagates to their fluxes and gradients, and to down-gradient closures based on them.Conversely, closure relationships between adequately defined "reduced" gradients and fluxes of enthalpy and entropy, are guaranteed to lead to invariant models, even with multiple turbulent diffusivities and cross-diffusivities. More work is required to address the invariance of more sophisticated closures, especially shallow and deep convective closures.

Theory of classical electrodynamics with topologically quantized singularities as electric charges

description: We formulate a theory of classical electrodynamics where the only admissible electric charges are topological singularities in the electromagnetic field, and charge quantization is accounted by the Chern theorem, such that Dirac magnetic monopoles are not needed. The theory allows positive and negative charges of equal magnitude, where the sign of the charge corresponds to the chirality of the topological singularity. Given the trajectory ${\bf w}(t)$ of the singularity, one can calculate electric and magnetic fields identical to those produced by Maxwell's equations for a moving point charge, apart from a multiplicative constant factor related to electron charge and vacuum permittivity. The theory is based on the relativistic Weyl equation in frequency-wavevector space, with eigenstates comprising the position, velocity, and acceleration of the singularity, and eigenvalues defining the retarded position of the charge. From the eigenstates we calculate the Berry connection and the Berry curvatures, and identify the curvatures as electric and magnetic fields.

description: The advent of Generative AI has marked a significant milestone in artificial intelligence, demonstrating remarkable capabilities in generating realistic images, texts, and data patterns. However, these advancements come with heightened concerns over data privacy and copyright infringement, primarily due to the reliance on vast datasets for model training. Traditional approaches like differential privacy, machine unlearning, and data poisoning only offer fragmented solutions to these complex issues. Our paper delves into the multifaceted challenges of privacy and copyright protection within the data lifecycle. We advocate for integrated approaches that combines technical innovation with ethical foresight, holistically addressing these concerns by investigating and devising solutions that are informed by the lifecycle perspective. This work aims to catalyze a broader discussion and inspire concerted efforts towards data privacy and copyright integrity in Generative AI.

Insider trading in discrete time Kyle games

description: We present a new discrete time version of Kyle's (1985) classic model of insider trading, formulated as a generalised extensive form game. The model has three kinds of traders: an insider, random noise traders, and a market maker. The insider aims to exploit her informational advantage and maximise expected profits while the market maker observes the total order flow and sets prices accordingly.
 First, we show how the multi-period model with finitely many pure strategies can be reduced to a (static) social system in the sense of Debreu (1952) and prove the existence of a sequential Kyle equilibrium, following Kreps and Wilson (1982). This works for any probability distribution with finite support of the noise trader's demand and the true value, and for any finite information flow of the insider. In contrast to Kyle (1985) with normal distributions, equilibria exist in general only in mixed strategies and not in pure strategies.
 In the single-period model we establish bounds for the insider's strategy in equilibrium. Finally, we prove the existence of an equilibrium for the game with a continuum of actions, by considering an approximating sequence of games with finitely many actions. Because of the lack of compactness of the set of measurable price functions, standard infinite-dimensional fixed point theorems are not applicable.

description: The evaluation of graphs on 2-spheres is a central ingredient of the Turaev-Viro construction of three-dimensional topological field theories. In this article, we introduce a class of graphs, called extruded graphs, that is relevant for the Turaev-Viro construction with general defect configurations involving defects of various dimensions. We define the evaluation of extruded graphs and show that it is invariant under a set of moves. This ensures the computability and uniqueness of our evaluation.

description: Recent advances in quantum computers are demonstrating the ability to solve problems at a scale beyond brute force classical simulation. As such, a widespread interest in quantum algorithms has developed in many areas, with optimization being one of the most pronounced domains. Across computer science and physics, there are a number of different approaches for major classes of optimization problems, such as combinatorial optimization, convex optimization, non-convex optimization, and stochastic extensions. This work draws on multiple approaches to study quantum optimization. Provably exact versus heuristic settings are first explained using computational complexity theory - highlighting where quantum advantage is possible in each context. Then, the core building blocks for quantum optimization algorithms are outlined to subsequently define prominent problem classes and identify key open questions that, if answered, will advance the field. The effects of scaling relevant problems on noisy quantum devices are also outlined in detail, alongside meaningful benchmarking problems. We underscore the importance of benchmarking by proposing clear metrics to conduct appropriate comparisons with classical optimization techniques. Lastly, we highlight two domains - finance and sustainability - as rich sources of optimization problems that could be used to benchmark, and eventually validate, the potential real-world impact of quantum optimization.

description: This is the supplemental file for manuscript entitled "Health workers’ adoption of digital health technology in low- and middle-income countries: a systematic review". In this article, we searched several databases for relevant articles published until 25 April 2024. We extracted data on: four unified theory of acceptance and use of technology factors (performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence and facilitating conditions) and six additional factors (attitude, habit, incentive, risk, trust and self-efficacy); how these affected the outcomes of behavioural intention and actual use; and the strength of association if reported. We conducted a meta-analysis of the quantitative studies. We reviewed 36 publications, 20 of which were included in our meta-analysis. We observed that performance expectancy was the most frequently reported facilitator (in 21 studies; 58.3%) and that facilitating conditions was the most cited barrier (10; 27.8%). From our meta-analysis, trust (r = 0.53; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.18 to 0.76) and facilitating conditions (r = 0.419; 95% CI: 0.271 to 0.547) were the leading facilitators of behavioural intention and actual use, respectively. We identified concerns with performance expectancy (r = −0.13, 95% CI: −0.29 to 0.01) as the primary barrier to both outcomes.

Time and Frequency Domain output-only system identification from earthquake-induced structural response signals
Creators: name: PIOLDI, Fabio
Publisher: name: Universit� degli studi di Bergamo
Year: 2017

description: Output-only Time and Frequency Domain system identification techniques are developed in this doctoral dissertation towards the challenging assessment of current structural dynamic properties of buildings from earthquake-induced structural response signals, at simultaneous heavy damping. Three different Operational Modal Analysis (OMA) techniques, namely a refined Frequency Domain Decomposition (rFDD) algorithm, an improved Data-Driven Stochastic Subspace Identification (SSI-DATA) procedure and a novel Full Dynamic Compound Inverse Method (FDCIM) are formulated and implemented within MATLAB, and exploited for the strong ground motion modal dynamic identification of selected buildings.
First, the three OMA methods are validated by the adoption of synthetic earthquake-induced structural response signals, generated from numerical integration on benchmark linear shear-type frames. Then, real seismic response signals are effectively processed, by getting even closer to real Earthquake Engineering identification scenarios. In the end, the three OMA methods are systematically applied and compared.
The present thesis demonstrates the reliability and effectiveness of such advanced OMA methods, as convenient output-only modal identification tools for Earthquake Engineering and Structural Health Monitoring purposes.

description: Thermal activation of a particle from a deep potential trap follows the Arrhenius law. Recently, this result was generalized for interacting diffusive particles in the trap, revealing two universality classes -- the Arrhenius class and the excluded volume class. The result was demonstrated with the aid of numerical analysis. Here, we present a perturbative hydrodynamic approach to analytically validate the existence and range of validity for the two universality classes.

'La letra con sangre entra': la divulgaci�n m�dico-sanitaria como herramienta ideol�gica de control de la mujer en 'Cultura Integral y Femenina' (1933-1934)
Creators: name: GAROFALO, Giovanni
Publisher: name: CELSB
Year: 2015

description: El presente estudio toma como punto de partida el discurso m�dico, entendido como pr�ctica que plasma sistem�ticamente los objetos de los que habla (Foucault 1969). Desde esta perspectiva, el an�lisis que se ofrece pone de manifiesto c�mo los textos m�dicos act�an en la situaci�n de enunciaci�n y en su amplio contexto social, a trav�s de su dispositivo de enunciaci�n y mediante la escenograf�a que ense�an. En concreto, a partir del concepto de escena de enunciaci�n (o escenograf�a Maingueneau 2004) y de ethos del enunciador y del enunciatario, se pretende examinar la construcci�n discursiva de la imagen del m�dico y del paciente en los textos de contenido m�dico-sanitario publicados en la prensa espa�ola entre 1931 y 1936. Como bot�n de muestra, se analizan las estrategias de divulgaci�n
observables en la revista "Cultura Integral y Femenina (CIF)", que circul� entre los a�os 1933 y 1936, cosechando un gran �xito entre el
p�blico femenino de la �poca, tambi�n a ra�z del af�n de sus editores por difundir nociones b�sicas de medicina y de prevenci�n de enfermedades. En particular, el estudio se centra en una cala de seis n�meros de la mencionada revista, elegidos entre los ejemplares
publicados entre 1933 y 1934. En primer lugar, se define el marco situacional de referencia, ofreciendo un breve perfil de la revista y destacando las funciones textuales predominantes en los art�culos seleccionados. A continuaci�n, se precisa la noci�n de escenograf�a, el concepto de ethos como creaci�n discursiva, adoptando la terminolog�a de Maingueneau (1999), quien distingue entre ethos prediscursivo (asociado al individuo real, con independencia de su acto de enunciaci�n) y ethos discursivo (determinado a trav�s de su acto de palabra). Tras destacar el papel que el ethos del paciente y del p�blico desempe�an en el procedimiento divulgativo que con frecuencia asume visos de serm�n paternalista y descort�s , se recurre a las herramientas de la nueva ret�rica y de la teor�a de la argumentaci�n para rese�ar los principales tipos de razonamiento (Perelman / Olbrechts-Tyteca 1989; Lo Cascio 1998; van Eemeren / Grootendorst 2011; Plantin 2012) esgrimidos por el m�dico para incidir en la situaci�n de enunciaci�n, instruyendo a su audiencia sobre los h�bitos de vida m�s saludables y las medidas m�s adecuadas para prevenir enfermedades. El an�lisis ofrecido pone de manifiesto que, en plena segunda rep�blica, el af�n divulgador de "Cultura Integral y Femenina" en �mbito m�dico-sanitario sigue encubriendo el prop�sito ideol�gico conjunto de valores muy tradicionales, acordes con una visi�n del mundo todav�a profundamente masculina.

description: The inclusion of higher derivative terms in the gravitational action brings about corrections to the original forms of black hole solutions and thermodynamics. A simple and valuable approach has emerged over two decades ago, which states that the first order corrections to black hole thermodynamics, caused by higher derivative terms, can be achieved without explicitly solving the perturbed metric. However, a direct application of this approach may potentially yield incorrect answers as it comes to AdS black holes, which poses a challenge to the valuable approach. In this paper, we identify the subtlety associated with AdS black holes is that certain higher derivative terms may alter the asymptotic structure of the spacetime. By taking this subtlety into account, we successfully enhance the original approach and resolve the mentioned problem. Furthermore, we make an interesting observation that the extremalization analysis that underlies this approach also plays a fundamental role in the perturbation theories of quantum mechanics and other disciplines.

description: In the allocation of indivisible goods, a prominent fairness notion is envy-freeness up to one good (EF1). We initiate the study of reachability problems in fair division by investigating the problem of whether one EF1 allocation can be reached from another EF1 allocation via a sequence of exchanges such that every intermediate allocation is also EF1. We show that two EF1 allocations may not be reachable from each other even in the case of two agents, and deciding their reachability is PSPACE-complete in general. On the other hand, we prove that reachability is guaranteed for two agents with identical or binary utilities as well as for any number of agents with identical binary utilities. We also examine the complexity of deciding whether there is an EF1 exchange sequence that is optimal in the number of exchanges required.

description: This deliverable, led by E4, provides a description of the hardware and software setup that willhost the DECICE framework based on the initial specifications collected in D5.2. The documentaims to showcase the work in progress related to the development and mapping of the applicationscomprising the use cases onto the deployment environment. Due to delays in the procurement ofthe DECICE physical infrastructure by E4, attributed to current pressures on the supply chains ofcomponents, an additional legacy computing cluster has been made available by E4 to mitigatethe impact of this problem on the project timeline. This legacy cluster will be used temporarily tosupport the integration of preliminary versions of the applications and to resolve all the potentialissues in the implementation.To ensure the deliverable is self-contained, it contains a concise summary of the key elements of theframework and a brief description of the use cases. Additionally, it describes the baseline architectureused to activate a preliminary deployment of the use cases, where UC1 and UC3 have been usedto debug and tune this initial solution. Lastly, it outlines the next steps to transition this baselinesystem into the final DECICE framework during the remainder of the Work Package 5 execution.

description: The open-source console MaRCoS, which stands for "Magnetic Resonance Control System", combines hardware, firmware and software elements for integral control of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scanners. Previous developments have focused on making the system robust and reliable, rather than on users, who have been somewhat overlooked. This work describes a Graphical User Interface (GUI) designed for intuitive control of MaRCoS, as well as compatibility with clinical environments. The GUI is based on an uncomplicated set of panels and a renewed Application Program Interface (API). Compared to the previous versions, the MaRGA package ("MaRCoS Graphical Application") includes new functionalities such as the possibility to export images to standard DICOM formats, create and manage clinical protocols, or display and process image reconstructions, among other features conceived to simplify the operation of MRI scanners. All prototypes in our facilities are commanded by MaRCoS and operated with the new GUI. Here we report on its performance on an experimental 0.2 T scanner designed for hard-tissue imaging, as well as a 72~mT portable scanner presently installed in the radiology department of a large hospital. The possibility to customize, adapt and streamline processes has substantially improved our workflows and overall experience.

Development of experimental techniques and control strategies for two novel road vehicle mechatronic suspensions
Creators: name: Yu, Min
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2018

description: Two novel active mechatronic suspensions for road vehicles are studied in this thesis, including the Series Active Variable Geometry Suspension (SAVGS) and the Parallel Active Link Suspension (PALS). Compared to existing active suspension solutions, both the SAVGS and the PALS are capable of low-frequency chassis attitude control and high-frequency ride comfort and road holding enhancement, with the main features of 1) negligible unsprung mass increment, 2) small sprung mass increment, 3) mature technology employment of rotary-electromechanical-actuation, and 4) inherent fail-safe characteristics. On the other hand, the SAVGS and the PALS complement each other in the application range of vehicle categories (from light high performance vehicles to heavy SUV vehicles), depending on the sprung mass and the passive suspension stiffness. In order to evaluate the practical feasibility of these two novel active suspensions, a quarter car test rig is developed for experimental study, with the SAVGS and PALS mechanisms integrated separately. Multi-body nonlinear models of the SAVGS/PALS-retrofitted test rig are built to explore the novel suspensions’ potential in performance improvement and power demand. Practical features existing in the rig (e.g. the backlash in actuation transmission) are further taken into account to compensate simulation and testing behaviours. Linear equivalent models of the SAVGS/PALS-retrofitted quarter car are derived, with geometry nonlinearity compensated. Robust control schemes with an outer-loop H-infinity control and an inner-loop actuator reference signal tracking control are then synthesized to enhance the quarter car suspension performance, in terms of the ride comfort and the road holding. A set of road cases, including a sinusoidal road, a speed bump and hole, and a frequency swept road profile are tested respectively to validate the accuracy of the model assumptions, the robustness of the synthesized controllers and the feasibility of the overall physical implementation. Moreover, this thesis also investigates the PALS application to a SUV full car. A multi-objective PID control is utilized for the chassis levelling in low-frequency driving manoeuvres, while an H-infinity control mainly takes effect in high-frequency road cases to improve the vehicle ride comfort and road holding. Nonlinear simulations with a set of ISO driving situations are performed to evaluate the PALS potential for the full car performance enhancement.

description: Abstract

In the context of corporate sustainability and responsible business practices, the effect of environmental disclosure on the financial performance of firms in Nigeria has become a subject of increasing significance. Therefore, this study main objective of this study was to examine the effect of environmental disclosure on financial performance of listed non-financial firms in Nigeria from 2012 to 2022. Secondary data were sourced from the audited annual reports of the listed firms. The population of the study is 104 non-financial firms. A sample of 80 non-financial firms was drawn from the population using purposive sampling techniques. The null hypotheses were tested using pooled regression, fixed effect and Panel Corrected Standard Error (PCSE) techniques. Environmental disclosure was measured using GRI index while financial performance was measured using ROA, ROE, EPS. The controls variables used in the study include firm size, firm age and leverage. The study found that environmental disclosure has a significant negative effect on the ROA of listed non-financial firms in Nigeria. Environmental disclosure has a significant negative effect on the ROE of listed non-financial firms in Nigeria. Environmental disclosure has an insignificant effect on the ESP of listed non-financial firms in Nigeria. Firm age, firms size and leverage significantly affects financial performance of listed non-financial firms in Nigeria. The study concludes that environment disclosure significantly affect financial performance of listed non-financial firms in Nigeria. The study recommends that management of non-financial firms should focus on initiatives that provide both environmental and financial benefits, such as green technology or renewable energy solutions, which can reduce long-term costs and generate goodwill among stakeholders.
