description: We present an approximation scheme for the calculation of the principal excitation energies and transition moments of finite many-body systems. The scheme is derived from a first order approximation to the self energy of a recently proposed extended particle-hole Green's function. A hermitian eigenvalue problem is encountered of the same size as the well-known Random Phase Approximation (RPA). We find that it yields a size consistent description of the excitation properties and removes an inconsistent treatment of the ground state correlation by the RPA. By presenting a hermitian eigenvalue problem the new scheme avoids the instabilities of the RPA and should be well suited for large scale numerical calculations. These and additional properties of the new approximation scheme are illuminated by a very simple exactly solvable model.

description: We study the properties of the Higgs boson sector in the MSSM, putting special emphasis on radiative effects which can affect the discovery potential of the LHC, Tevatron and/or LEP colliders. We concentrate on the V b b-bar channel, with V=Z or W, and on the channels with diphoton final states, which are the dominant ones for the search for a light Standard Model Higgs boson at LEP/Tevatron and LHC, respectively. By analyzing the regions of parameter space for which the searches in at least one of these colliders can be particularly difficult, we demonstrate the complementarity of these three colliders in the search for a light Higgs boson which couples in a relevant way to the W and Z gauge bosons (and hence plays a relevant role in the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking).

description: We analyze constraints on the parameters of the R-parity violating supersymmetry which can be extracted from non-observation of the neutrinoless nuclear double beta decay ($0νββ$) at a given half-life lower bound. Our analysis covers a large class of phenomenologically viable R-parity violating SUSY models. We introduce special characteristics: the SUSY sensitivity of a $ββ$ decaying isotope and the SUSY reach of a $0νββ$ experiment. The former provides a physical criterion for a selection of the most promising isotopes for SUSY searches and the latter gives a measure of success for a $0νββ$ experiment in exploring the R-parity violating SUSY parameter space. On this basis we discuss prospects for exploration of supersymmetry in various $0νββ$ experiments.

description: We have performed a critical analysis of different approximation schemes for the calculation of two-neutrino double beta decay (TNDBD) matrix elements. We have shown that within the single-particle approximation of nuclear Hamiltonian the TNDBD matrix element is equal to zero. The (renormalized) quasiboson approximation scheme imply for TNDBD transition operator to be a constant, if one requires the equivalence of initial and final (renormalized) QRPA Hamiltonians. It means that TNDBD is a higher order process in the boson expansion of the nuclear Hamiltonian. We have found that the mismatching of both Hamiltonians is getting worse with increasing strength of particle- particle interaction especially in the case of QRPA Hamiltonians. It is supposed to be one of the reasons of the extreme sensitivity of studied matrix element to the residual interaction appearing in explicit calculations involving the intermediate nucleus. Further, the Operator Expansion Method (OEM) has been reconsidered and new transition operators have been rederived in a consistent way. The validity of the OEM approximation has been discussed in respect to the other approximation schemes. The OEM combined with QRPA or RQRPA ground state wave functions reflects sensitively the instabilities incorporated in the considered ground states. Therefore, the predicting power of the OEM should be studied with help of other ground state wave functions. e.g. shell model ones.

description: We consider a one dimensional elastic string as a set of massless beads interacting through springs characterized by anisotropic elastic constants. The string, driven by an external force, moves in a medium with quenched disorder. We present evidence that the consideration of longitudinal fluctuations leads to nonlinear behavior in the equation of motion which is {\it kinematically} generated by the motion of the string. The strength of the nonlinear effects depends on the anisotropy of the medium and the distance from the depinning transition. On the other hand the consideration of restricted solid on solid conditions imposed to the growth of the string leads to a nonlinear term in the equation of motion with a {\it diverging} coefficient at the depinning transition.

description: Increasing data-centric nature of compute has motivated the need for overcoming the von Neumann memory-access bottleneck. Multi-functional beyond-CMOS have shown a great potential in uniquely complementing and augmenting the compute capability by utilizing emerging paradigms like on-chip memory and brain-inspired computing. In this work, we focus on first understanding the physics of devices that show S-type negative differential resistance behavior (S-NDR) and then engineering them for use in emerging memory (RRAM, selectors) and compute (oscillators for simulated annealing, neural networks, physically obfuscated keys) architectures. To understand the electro-thermal dynamics of filament formation in metal semiconductor/oxide
-metal (MSM) stacks, we first develop a novel high-speed transient thermometry. This reveals a two-step current localization and nucleation process that is responsible for forming or threshold switching in these MSM stacks. This current localization event manifests as S-NDR in these
devices, which we explore to variously understand threshold switching and oscillatory behavior. We also apply the developed nano-scale thermometry to resistive switching memory devices to extract the role of temperature in the switching process. After establishing self-consistency with
microstructural changes under a TEM, we estimate the filament size and evolution with bias and current compliance.

description: We study the role that the future detection of the neutrino burst from a galactic supernova can play in the reconstruction of the neutrino mass spectrum. We consider all possible 3$ν$ mass and flavor spectra which describe the solar and atmospheric neutrino data. For each of these spectra we find the observable effects of the supernova neutrino conversions both in the matter of the star and the earth. We show that studies of the electron neutrino and anineutrino spectra as well as observations of the neutral current effects from supernova will allow us (i) to identify the solar neutrino solution, (ii) to determine the type of mass hierarchy (normal or inverted) and (iii) to probe the mixing $|U_{e3}|^2$ to values as low as $10^{-4} - 10^{-3}$.

Robust Facial Landmark Localization Under Simultaneous Real-World Degradations

Subjects: subject: 90699 Electrical and Electronic Engineering not elsewhere classified

description: The automatic localization of facial landmarks, also referred to as facial landmarking or facial
alignment, is a key pre-processing step that is of vital importance to the carrying out of tasks such
as facial recognition, the generation of 3D facial models, expression analysis, gender and ethnicity
classification, age estimation, segmentation of facial features, accurate head pose estimation, and
a variety of other facial analytic tasks. Progress in all these areas of research has heightened
the need for developing accurate facial alignment algorithms that can generalize well to handle
simultaneous variations in pose, illumination, expression, and high levels of facial occlusion in
real-world images.
This thesis proposes a facial alignment algorithm that is not only tolerant to the joint presence
of facial occlusions, pose variation, and varying expressions, but also provides feedback (misalignment/
occlusion labels for the detected landmarks) that could be of use to subsequent stages in a
facial analysis pipeline. Our approach proceeds from sparse to dense landmarking steps using a set
of pose and expression specific models trained to best account for the variations in facial shape and
texture manifested in real-world images. We also propose the use of a novel shape regularization
approach that sets up this task as an `1-regularized least squares problem. This avoids the generation
of implausible facial shapes and results in higher landmark localization accuracies than those
obtained using prior shape models. Our approach is thoroughly evaluated on many challenging
real-world datasets and demonstrates higher landmark localization accuracies and more graceful
degradation than several state-of-the-art methods. We proceed to put the task of facial alignment
into better context by examining its role in two applications that require alignment results as input:
(1) a large-scale facial recognition scenario and (2) a project aimed at improving driver safety
by assessing facial cues. Finally, we also carry out a rigorous set of experiments to analyze the
performance of our approach when dealing with low-resolution images and provide some insights
gained from this study.

description: The B_C meson is the bound state of b-cbar whose recent detection is the first step toward completion of the spectroscopy of heavy quark mesonic states. The b-c states have properties that conveniently fill the gap between the J/Psi and Upsilon states. Thus it is probable that at RHIC the B_c mesons will serve as a probe of deconfined matter. We find that significant differences arise for B_c formation in deconfined and confined matter. Our initial calculations suggest that: (a) The rates of normal hadronic production mechanisms at RHIC energies are not sufficient to produce a detectable number of B_c mesons, (b) If a region of deconfined quarks and gluons is formed, the production (and survival) rate can be enhanced by several orders of magnitude, and (c) The observation of B_c mesons at RHIC would signal a source of deconfined charmed quarks, and the rate of B_c production will be a measure of the initial density and temperature of that source.

description: One field containing WISE J154151.65-225024.9 was observed by Hubble Space Telescope at three different epochs taken in ~5 yrs. We measured positions of sources in all images and successfully linked these positions to the Gaia DR2 absolute system to derive the astrometric parameters for this faint close-by Y1 brown dwarf. The developed procedure avoids traditional limitations of relative imaging-astrometry with narrow-field cameras, extending Gaia DR2 to fainter magnitudes. We found (mu_RA,mu_d,parallax) = (-902.62+/-0.35mas/yr, -88.26+/-0.35mas/yr,168.4+/-2.2mas), which represent a sizable improvement over recent determinations in the literature. Applying a correction from relative to absolute parallax we found an absolute parallax of 169+/-2 mas, corresponding to a distance of 5.9+/-0.1 pc.

description: Briefing note describing how (re)insurers and university-based environmental scientists could best work together to accesss government (UKRI) funding in order to improve the flow of science into the insurance sector.Natural perils (e.g. hurricanes) can cause losses >$100 billion per year. Modelling these risks is a key part of the global (re)insurance sector’s decision-making and, critically, includes peer-reviewed environmental science that is primarily created in universities. Yet, how can university-based scientists and (re)insurers best align to use government funding to work together in light of their differing priorities and existing tools and expertise within industry? This briefing aims to foster more frequent and diverse collaborations by building mutual understanding, firstly outlining the communities’ respective interests, then describing the basics of science usage in decision-making within (re)insurers, and finally introducing how these might lead to opportunities and partnerships with the current university and funding landscape.
Phonon Localization in One-Dimensional Quasiperiodic Chains

description: Quasiperiodic long range order is intermediate between spatial periodicity and disorder, and the excitations in 1D quasiperiodic systems are believed to be transitional between extended and localized. These ideas are tested with a numerical analysis of two incommensurate 1D elastic chains: Frenkel-Kontorova (FK) and Lennard-Jones (LJ). The ground state configurations and the eigenfrequencies and eigenfunctions for harmonic excitations are determined. Aubry's "transition by breaking the analyticity" is observed in the ground state of each model, but the behavior of the excitations is qualitatively different. Phonon localization is observed for some modes in the LJ chain on both sides of the transition. The localization phenomenon apparently is decoupled from the distribution of eigenfrequencies since the spectrum changes from continuous to Cantor-set-like when the interaction parameters are varied to cross the analyticity--breaking transition. The eigenfunctions of the FK chain satisfy the "quasi-Bloch" theorem below the transition, but not above it, while only a subset of the eigenfunctions of the LJ chain satisfy the theorem.

description: We calculate the Wilson coefficients of all dimension 6 gluon operators with non zero spin in the correlation function between two heavy vector currents. For the twist-4 part, we first identify the three independent gluon operators, and then proceed with the calculation of the Wilson coefficients using the fixed point gauge. Together with the previous calculation of the Wilson coefficients for the dimension 6 scalar gluon operators by Nikolaev and Radyushkin, our result completes the list of all the Wilson coefficients of dimension 6 gluon operators in the correlation function between heavy vector currents. We apply our results to investigate the mass of $J/ψ$ in nuclear matter using QCD sum rules. Using an upper bound estimate on the matrix elements of the dimension 6 gluon operators to linear order in density, we find that the density dependent contribution from dimension 6 operators is less than 40% of the dimension 4 operators with opposite sign. The final result gives about -4 MeV mass shift for the charmonium at rest in nuclear matter.

A Information-Theoretic Approach to Side-channel Analysis

description: Side-channels are unanticipated information flows that present a significant threat
to security of systems. Quantitative analyses are required to measure the rate of
information leakage and the accuracy of information learned through side-channel
attacks. To this end, the work presented in this thesis develops a general model of
a side channel, which is represented as a two-input-single-output system and specified
by the probability distribution of the output conditioned on the inputs. For this
model, three quantitative metrics are defined: capacity, leakage, and reliability rate.
The thesis argues that capacity is an ill-suited metric for side channels and recommends
the use of other two metrics to measure the leakage rate and accuracy of information
learned, respectively. These metrics are used to analyze attacks employed in
very different application areas: private communication detection in VoIP networks,
packet schedulers in web communication, and timing attacks against modular multiplication
routines used in public-key cryptosystems. The analyses presented in this
thesis enable us to: 1) determine system parameters and user behaviors that preserve
privacy, 2) compute the lifetime of private information, and 3) identify attack
strategies that leak most information. More importantly, they enable us to study the
conditions under which existing countermeasures perform as expected and develop
information-theoretic countermeasures against side-channel attacks.
Flavor SU(3) Symmetry and Factorization in B Decays to Two Charmless Vector Mesons

description: We first present a model-independent analysis using flavor SU(3) symmetry with SU(3) breaking effects in $B$ decays to two charmless vector mesons ($VV$) in the final state. In order to bridge the flavor SU(3) symmetry approach and the factorization approach in $B \to VV$ decays, we explicitly show how to translate each SU(3) amplitude into a corresponding amplitude in factorization. Various decay modes, including $B \to K^* ϕ$ which is so far the only $B \to VV$ mode having some experimental evidence, are discussed in both the SU(3) symmetry and factorization approaches. Within the generalized factorization approximation, the flavor SU(3) amplitudes and SU(3) breaking effects are numerically estimated as a function of the parameter $ξ\equiv 1/ N_c$ ($N_c$ the effective number of color).

description: At a future Linear Collider one will be able to determine the masses of charginos and neutralinos and their pair production cross sections to high accuracies. We show how systematically including the cross sections into the analysis improves the measurement of the underlying mass parameters, including potential CP violating phases. In addition, we investigate how experimental errors will affect the determination of these parameters. We present a first estimate on the lower limit of observable small phases and on the accuracy in determining large phases.

Excluded volume hadron gas model for particle number ratios in A+A collisions

description: We recapitulate a thermodynamically consistent excluded volume hadron gas model and examine its differences with other ``thermal models'' used in the literature. Preliminary experimental data for particle number ratios in the collisions of Au+Au at the BNL AGS (11$A$ GeV/$c$) and Pb+Pb at the CERN SPS (160$A$ GeV/$c$) are analyzed. For equal values of the hadron hard-core parameters the excluded volume model gives essentially the ideal gas predictions for the particle number ratios, which is similar to other thermal models. We observe, however, the systematic excess of experimental pion abundances compared to the ideal gas results. This effect can be explained in our model by a smaller pion hard-core volume compared to those of other hadrons. The absolute values for particle number and energy densities at the chemical freezeout are predicted with a simultaneous fit to all these AGS and SPS particle number ratios.

description: Nuclear outflows driven by accreting massive black holes are one of the main feedback mechanisms invoked at high-z to reproduce the distinct separation between star-forming, disk galaxies and quiescent spheroidal systems. Yet, our knowledge of feedback at high-z remains limited by the lack of observations of the multiple gas phases in galaxy outflows. In this work we use new deep, high-spatial resolution ALMA CO(3-2) and archival VLT/SINFONI H$α$ observations to study the molecular and ionized components of the AGN-driven outflow in zC400528 ---a massive, main sequence galaxy at z=2.3 in the process of quenching. We detect a powerful molecular outflow that shows a positive velocity gradient and extends for at least ~10 kpc from the nuclear region, about three times the projected size of the ionized wind. The molecular gas in the outflow does not reach velocities high enough to escape the galaxy and is therefore expected to be reaccreted. Keeping in mind the various assumptions involved in the analysis, we find that the mass and energetics of the outflow are dominated by the molecular phase. The AGN-driven outflow in zC400528 is powerful enough to deplete the molecular gas reservoir on a timescale at least twice shorter than that needed to exhaust it by star formation. This suggests that the nuclear outflow is one of the main quenching engines at work in the observed suppression of the central star-formation activity in zC400528.

description: The development of autonomous driving systems (ADS) has significantly advanced in detecting, predicting, and reacting to driving scenarios. Yet, accidents due to system failures prompt the necessity of a "safety guard", even in high-level autonomous vehicles (AVs). As AVs evolve, the role of human riders is fundamentally shifting, with debates on the need for human supervision and intervention in high-level ADS. This research focuses on ADS safety and human-ADS interactions during high-level autonomous driving, highlighting that human interventions can identify safety gaps in ADS and are vital for ADS training. It contributes by offering a novel approach to generating rare safety-critical scenarios, a tool for analyzing complex human interventions, and methods to enhance ADS resilience and automation with a human-centric focus.

description: A practical approach is presented which allows the use of a non-invariant regularization scheme for the computation of quantum corrections in perturbative quantum field theory. The theoretical control of algebraic renormalization over non-invariant counterterms is translated into a practical computational method. We provide a detailed introduction into the handling of the Slavnov-Taylor and Ward-Takahashi identities in the Standard Model both in the conventional and the background gauge. Explicit examples for their practical derivation are presented. After a brief introduction into the Quantum Action Principle the conventional algebraic method which allows for the restoration of the functional identities is discussed. The main point of our approach is the optimization of this procedure which results in an enormous reduction of the calculational effort. The counterterms which have to be computed are universal in the sense that they are independent of the regularization scheme. The method is explicitly illustrated for two processes of phenomenological interest: QCD corrections to the decay of the Higgs boson into two photons and two-loop electroweak corrections to the process $B \to X_s γ$.
