Towards Inductive Robustness: Distilling and Fostering Wave-induced Resonance in Transductive GCNs Against Graph Adversarial Attacks

Field: Computer Science (Physical Sciences)

Graph neural networks (GNNs) have recently been shown to be vulnerable to adversarial attacks, where slight perturbations in the graph structure can lead to erroneous predictions. However, current robust models for defending against such attacks inherit the transductive limitations of graph convolutional networks (GCNs). As a result, they are constrained by fixed structures and do not naturally generalize to unseen nodes. Here, we discover that transductive GCNs inherently possess a distillable robustness, achieved through a wave-induced resonance process. Based on this, we foster this resonance to facilitate inductive and robust learning. Specifically, we first prove that the signal formed by GCN-driven message passing (MP) is equivalent to the edge-based Laplacian wave, where, within a wave system, resonance can naturally emerge between the signal and its transmitting medium. This resonance provides inherent resistance to malicious perturbations inflicted on the signal system. We then prove that merely three MP iterations within GCNs can induce signal resonance between nodes and edges, manifesting as a coupling between nodes and their distillable surrounding local subgraph. Consequently, we present Graph Resonance-fostering Network (GRN) to foster this resonance via learning node representations from their distilled resonating subgraphs. By capturing the edge-transmitted signals within this subgraph and integrating them with the node signal, GRN embeds these combined signals into the central node's representation. This node-wise embedding approach allows for generalization to unseen nodes. We validate our theoretical findings with experiments, and demonstrate that GRN generalizes robustness to unseen nodes, whilst maintaining state-of-the-art classification accuracy on perturbed graphs.
Newcomers' Biographical Explanations: The Self As An Adjustment Process*

Field: Social Sciences (Social Sciences)

The newcomers' situation necessarily involves change and a variety of adjustment processes. In this situation the self may come into question and become an object of conscious reflection and definition. This paper focuses on the processes of change and continuity in the newcomer's self‐concept during the first year after moving to a new locale. Data are drawn from a broader longitudinal study of 30 newcomer families in an Australian city and are interpreted from a symbolic interactionist perspective.
M. Khenner Comparative Study of a Solid Film Dewetting

Field: Materials Science (Physical Sciences)

Abstract. We compare dewetting characteristics of a thin nonwetting solid film in the absence of stress, for two models of a wetting potential: the exponential and the algebraic. The exponential model is a one-parameter (r) model, and the algebraic model is a two-parameter (r, m) model, where r is the ratio of the characteristic wetting length to the height of the unperturbed film, and m is the exponent of h (film height) in a smooth function that interpolates the system’s surface energy above and below the film-substrate interface at z = 0. The exponential model gives monotonically decreasing (with h) wetting chemical potential, while this dependence is monotonic only for the m = 1 case of the algebraic model. Linear stability analysis of the planar equilibrium surface is performed. Simulations of the surface dynamics in the strongly nonlinear regime (large deviations from the planar equilibrium) and for large surface energy anisotropies demonstrate that for any m the film is less prone to dewetting when it is governed by the algebraic model. Quasiequilibrium states similar to the one found in the exponential model [15] exist in the algebraic model as well, and the film morphologies are similar. Key words: epitaxial solid films, surface diffusion, wetting, film agglomeration, stability theory, dynamics
Cu metallization and dielectric removal for failure analysis of ICs

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Although a defect may be well understood electrically in the recent years, capturing the anomaly into image remains necessary to verify the defect location. As technology further develops, ICs nowadays have more than one interconnect layer. Hence, it is necessary to first remove the overlying layers, otherwise viewing of the embedded defects would be impossible. However, in some cases, the removal of one layer can act as an in-situ decoration of another layer, masking the defect or removing the defect. Thus, it is important that the delayering (also known as parallel lapping) method only removes the unwanted layer. The main focus of this project is to study the side effect of deprocessing technique for 65 nm copper chip focusing on polishing methodology. There are two known issues with polishing and they are, inability to achieve a 100% success rate and edge effects which affect the overall planarity of the sample. Edge effect can be caused by several factors such as long polishing times, excessive application of pressure or force, improper usage of slurry with wrong type of polishing cloth, sample is being lowered too much into the polishing cloth. In the experiments, the polisher was set with two different polishing modes which include oscillation with rotation and oscillation only. The purpose is to find out which of the mode would give a lesser edge effect. Moreover, the effect of the polishing duration and force applied on the sample during polishing as well as the introduction of sacrificial layers will be investigated. Optical images of the Cu chip were captured during the delayering process and FIB was also used to quantify the thicknesses of the layer stacks for analysis. After analyzing the results obtained from the experiments, it was found that polishing the sample with oscillation mode only and adding sacrificial to samples do help in minimizing edge effect at long polishing times.
Main Directions of «Green» Taxation Regulation for the Business Purposes: Experience of Foreign Countries

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

The paper examines some aspects of the impact of the «green» economy on transformation of environmental legislation and «green» taxation. At the present stage of economic development in the countries of the European Union, economic models aimed at creating wealth and ensuring economic growth without harming the environment, i.e., the transition to a «green» economy, are being increasingly improved. Modern strategic measures of «green» growth of the European Union countries are directly implemented by the instruments of law and have an impact on the development of entrepreneurship. The author considers the system of «green» taxation existing abroad as an instrument of legal influence on business entities in terms of their compliance with environmental norms and standards. The author examines the types of «green» taxes and their purpose, describes classification criteria that include a purpose of introduction, an object of taxation, a scope of application and a type of economic activity. Special attention is paid to the carbon tax because of increased attention to the amount of carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere and an agenda to reduce the carbon footprint. The paper dwells on specific examples of tax regulation abroad and makes proposals for its development. The author highlights the importance of maintaining a balance of interests between the state, society and entrepreneurs when introducing «green» taxation, the need to encourage companies to introduce advanced eco-friendly technologies by providing tax preferences.

The confusion of order in short-term memory

Field: Psychology (Social Sciences)

Brown's (1965) A measure was used to determine the information preserved in types of errors committed in a short-term memory task, and the distributions of different errors over serial positions in the messages were observed. It was found that errors concerned with the ordering of items in a message preserved more information about the original stimulus than did errors concerned with the selection of the items themselves. Although the serial position curve for all errors combined was bow-shaped and negatively skewed, as has been most commonly reported in the literature, curves for different types of errors differed markedly in their shapes. While these results are not easily explained by a theory which attributes the serial position effect solely to the effects of recency and rehearsal, they are compatible with the view that some serial positions are more discriminable than others.
Continuous intraperitoneal insulin infusion in the treatment of type 1 diabetes mellitus: glycaemia and beyond

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Continuous intraperitoneal insulin infusion (CIPII) with an implantable pump is a last-resort treatment option for selected patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). As compared to the most commonly used forms of insulin administration -injections and an externally placed pump- which deliver insulin in the subcutaneous (SC) tissue, CIPII delivers the insulin in the intraperitoneal space. CIPII using an implantable pump is an unique treatment which has been available for more than 30 years and is nowadays used in very few patients around the world. In The Netherlands, the Isala hospital in Zwolle is the only center providing this treatment. Aim of this thesis was to provide an update and extension about the knowledge of CIPII in the management of T1DM by investigating several important and relative new aspects of this treatment modality. It was demonstrated that CIPII is a safe and effective therapy for selected patients with T1DM. The predominant effect of CIPII, also as compared to SC insulin therapy administration, is a reduction of the number of hypoglycaemic (low blood glucose concentrations) episodes. Furthermore, treatment satisfaction is high among patients treated with CIPII using an implantable pump. Finally, this thesis demonstrated that the effects of CIPII reach beyond glycaemia by demonstrating restoration of the altered ‘growth-hormone – insulin-like growth factor 1 axis’ with CIPII.
Wafer surface preparation for high-efficiency solar cells

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of different surface preparation methods on the cell efficiency and other cell parameters, e.g. Voc, Jsc, etc. Results show that wafer surface quality plays a key role in the etching characteristics of Si wafers. Data also show that pre-cleaning and saw damage removal (SDR) steps are required to normalize the surface of different wafers to render them to relatively similar states when introduced to the alkaline texturization bath. The final cleaning process in which an appropriate pyramid rounding step is added can further enhance the cell performance. At the same time, as low as possible metal signature on the wafers must be guaranteed by an advanced HF/HCl clean prior to the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process.

Vegetative chronic genital herpes with satisfactory response to imiquimod

Field: Medicine (Health Sciences)

Vegetative chronic genital herpes is an atypical presentation of herpes simplex 2 that it is usually seen in patients coinfected with human immunodeficiency virus. Clinically, it is characterized by extensive ulcers that evolve to chronification and hypertrophic pseudotumor forms. Antiviral drugs are recommended for the treatment, and acyclovir is the most used one. Foscarnet is the treatment of choice to resistant cases, although treatment failure has been reported. We report a male patient, previously diagnosed with human immunodeficiency virus who developed vegetative chronic genital herpes resistant to acyclovir and successfully treated with imiquimod.

Mrs L, a work of literary journalism, and exegesis: The poetics of literary journalism and illuminating absent voices in memoir and biography.

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Was Henry Lawson’s decline into alcoholism, poverty and an early death really caused by his wife, Bertha Lawson? The biographers of the iconic bush poet and writer – most notably Denton Prout (1963), Manning Clark (1978) and Colin Roderick (1991) – have all constructed a victim as hero narrative around Lawson’s life, blaming Bertha Lawson (nee Bredt) for his personal and creative decline. With these biographies in mind, the thesis Mrs L is a work of literary journalism that is an alternative reading of Bertha Lawson as a single parent with two young children and a limited ability within the mores of the time to provide for her family. Mrs L repositions Bertha within a post separation and divorce single motherhood discourse that was emerging alongside suffragette narratives in Australia at the turn of the 20th century. In doing so, it illuminates her voice, one that has been absent in previous biographies of Henry Lawson. Mrs L further intertwines a contemporary memoir of single parenting that reflects upon the historic narrative to conclude that there remain many similarities in the experience of separation and divorce for women despite considerable changes in law across the century. The accompanying exegesis reflects upon the thesis Mrs L as a hybrid text of biography and memoir described by Sidonie Smith and Julia Watson (2001) as the auto / biography or a / b genre. The exegesis explores the distinctions and relationships between literary journalism, memoir and biography, and suggests literary journalism as a poetics methodology (Lasky, 2013; Sims, 1995, 2012) for writing a / b texts such as Mrs L. Additionally, the exegesis posits that an epistolary strategy can replace the literary journalism technique of immersion in historical works such as Mrs L and the collective biography (Caine, 2010) The Forgotten Rebels of Eureka (Wright, 2013). Responding to a recent critique by David Marr (2016-2017) of the use of first person in biographies, the exegesis further considers the role of the cultural self in memoir (Grant, 2016; Larson, 2007), its place in the a / b genre, and how the “biography as corrective” (Hamilton, 2016, p. 15) is encouraging revisionist as well as innovative explorations of biographical subjects whose voices have been negated in the past.

Classical-quantum correspondence for fields

Field: Physics and Astronomy (Physical Sciences)

Here, we map the quantum problem of a free bosonic field in a space-time dependent background into a classical problem. N degrees of freedom of a real field in the quantum theory are mapped into 2N<sup>2</sup> classical simple harmonic oscillators with specific initial conditions. We discuss how this classical-quantum correspondence (CQC) may be used to evaluate quantum radiation and fully treat the backreaction of quantum fields on classical backgrounds. The technique has widespread application, including to the quantum evaporation of classical breathers ("oscillons").

Oceans and Empire

Field: Arts and Humanities (Social Sciences)

Abstract This chapter explores how Woolf’s frequent writing about the ocean highlights both her opposition to and her enmeshment in the British Empire. Woolf scholarship has emphasized Woolf’s portrayal of oceans and empire as naturally antithetical, demonstrating the various ways in which Woolf’s oceans oppose patriarchal imperialism. The chapter argues that, in portraying this antithesis, Woolf’s writing subverts a central tenet of British imperial ideology during her lifetime: the belief that oceans and empire were naturally connected and that, because of the critical importance of maritime trade and sea power to British imperialism, the sea was in fact an agent of empire, foundational to British imperial identity. The chapter shows how Woolf’s subversion of this naturalized connection between oceans and empire both augmented her anti-imperial critique and, by amplifying her blind spots regarding race and the representation of non-European peoples, significantly constrained it.
Design and Analysis of a Liftfan for eVTOL Aircraft

Field: Engineering (Physical Sciences)

Abstract Ducted liftfans can provide greater hovering efficiency to eVTOL aircraft than open propellers of an equal disk area. The goal of liftfan design is to minimise length in order to limit the weight added by propulsors and the drag incurred during forward flight. The increased complexity of liftfans over open propellers poses three challenges which are addressed in this paper. First, instead of a single row propeller, the liftfan consists of a complete stage which must be designed as a whole. The preliminary and 3D design variables of the rotor row and splittered-diffuser stator row are optimised together using 3D CFD to maximise the hovering figure of merit, a non-dimensional measure of power consumption. The resulting prototype liftfan design is validated through experimental testing. Second, unlike an open propeller, a liftfan rotor is enclosed within a complete nacelle. To be viable, it must perform effectively during edge-on forward flight, as well as in pure hover. A low-order model is developed to investigate the maximum range for different fan designs with varying diffuser area ratios and forward flight tilt angles. Design selections are validated using full annulus 3D CFD and experimental wind tunnel tests. Third, as the electric motor of a liftfan is mounted within the hub, fan-driven active cooling is necessary to prevent overheating. The stagnation pressure losses incurred by cooling airflow must be minimised without impeding heat transfer. Low-order models are developed to predict motor heat transfer and loss and to guide the design of a mixed-flow cooling fan. The addition of forward sweep and adoption of a high blade count are found to reduce cooling fan loss, confirmed through 3D CFD simulations and experimental testing.
Demand for Meat in Canada: Model Specification and Structural Change

Field: Economics, Econometrics and Finance (Social Sciences)

Two features of the specification of single-equation models of the demand for meat are explored using Canadian data, specifically the use of meat expenditures versus disposable income in the demand equation and the use of quantity versus price as the dependent variable in the demand models. The appropriateness of the expenditure or income variable is examined using non-nested J tests, and appropriateness of quantity or price as the dependent variable is explored by testing for exogeneity. The impact of different specifications on tests of structural change in the demand for meat is assessed using Chow tests. Conclusions from these tests are sensitive to the alternate specifications, confirming the importance of proper specification of demand functions in appropriate testing for structural change in the demand for meats.
