Ambiguous Tests of General Relativity on Cosmological Scales

description: There are a number of approaches to testing General Relativity (GR) on linear scales using parameterized frameworks for modifying cosmological perturbation theory. It is sometimes assumed that the details of any given parameterization are unimportant if one uses it as a diagnostic for deviations from GR. In this brief report we argue that this is not necessarily so. First we show that adopting alternative combinations of modifications to the field equations significantly changes the constraints that one obtains. In addition, we show that using a parameterization with insufficient freedom significantly tightens the apparent theoretical constraints. Fundamentally we argue that it is almost never appropriate to consider modifications to the perturbed Einstein equations as being constraints on the effective gravitational constant, for example, in the same sense that solar system constraints are. The only consistent modifications are either those that grant near-total freedom, as in decomposition methods, or ones which map directly to a particular part of theory space.
Efficient simulation of density and probability of large deviations of sum of random vectors using saddle point representations

description: We consider the problem of efficient simulation estimation of the density function at the tails, and the probability of large deviations for a sum of independent, identically distributed, light-tailed and non-lattice random vectors. The latter problem besides being of independent interest, also forms a building block for more complex rare event problems that arise, for instance, in queueing and financial credit risk modelling. It has been extensively studied in literature where state independent exponential twisting based importance sampling has been shown to be asymptotically efficient and a more nuanced state dependent exponential twisting has been shown to have a stronger bounded relative error property. We exploit the saddle-point based representations that exist for these rare quantities, which rely on inverting the characteristic functions of the underlying random vectors. These representations reduce the rare event estimation problem to evaluating certain integrals, which may via importance sampling be represented as expectations. Further, it is easy to identify and approximate the zero-variance importance sampling distribution to estimate these integrals. We identify such importance sampling measures and show that they possess the asymptotically vanishing relative error property that is stronger than the bounded relative error property. To illustrate the broader applicability of the proposed methodology, we extend it to similarly efficiently estimate the practically important expected overshoot of sums of iid random variables.

Size-independence of statistics for boundary collisions of random walks and its implications for spin-polarized gases

description: A bounded random walk exhibits strong correlations between collisions with a boundary. For an one-dimensional walk, we obtain the full statistical distribution of the number of such collisions in a time t. In the large t limit, the fluctuations in the number of collisions are found to be size-independent (independent of the distance between boundaries). This occurs for any inter-boundary distance, including less and greater than the mean-free-path, and means that this boundary effect does not decay with increasing system-size. As an application, we consider spin-polarized gases, such as 3-Helium, in the three-dimensional diffusive regime. The above results mean that the depolarizing effect of rare magnetic-impurities in the container walls is orders of magnitude larger than a Smoluchowski assumption (to neglect correlations) would imply. This could explain why depolarization is so sensitive to the container's treatment with magnetic fields prior to its use.

description: The conditions for which the no boundary proposal may have a classical realization of a continuous change of signature, are investigated for a cosmological model described by FRW metric coupled with a self interacting scalar field, having a noncommutative phase space of dynamical variables. The model is then quantized and a good correspondence is shown between the classical and quantum cosmology indicating that the noncommutativity does not destruct the classical-quantum correspondence. It is also shown that the quantum cosmology supports a signature transition where the bare cosmological constant takes a vast continuous spectrum of negative values. The bounds of bare cosmological constant are limited by the values of noncommutative parameters. Moreover, it turns out that the physical parameters are constrained by the noncommutativity parametres.

description: Measurements of the density dependence of the free symmetry energy in low density clustered matter have been extended using the NIMROD multi-detector at Texas A&M University. Thermal coalescence models were employed to extract densities, $ρ$, and temperatures, $T$, for evolving systems formed in collisions of 47 $A$ MeV $^{40}$Ar + $^{112}$Sn,$^{124}$Sn and $^{64}$Zn + $^{112}$Sn, $^{124}$Sn. Densities of $0.03 \leq ρ/ρ_0 \leq 0.2$ and temperatures in the range 5 to 10 MeV have been sampled. The free symmetry energy coefficients are found to be in good agreement with values calculated using a quantum statistical model. Values of the corresponding symmetry energy coefficient are derived from the data using entropies derived from the model.

description: Free energies between static quarks and Debye screening masses in the quark-gluon plasma are studied on the basis of Polyakov-line correlations in lattice simulations of 2+1 flavors QCD with the renormalization-group improved gluon action and the $O(a)$-improved Wilson quark action. We perform simulations at $m_{\rm PS}/m_{\rm V} = 0.63$ (0.74) for light (strange) flavors with lattice sizes of $32^3 \times N_t$ with $N_t=4$--12. We adopt the fixed-scale approach, where temperature can be varied without changing the spatial volume and renormalization factor. We find that, at short distance, the free energies of static quarks in color-singlet channel converge to the static-quark potential evaluated from the Wilson-loop at zero-temperature, in accordance with the expected insensitivity of short distance physics to the temperature. At long distance, the free energies of static quarks approach to twice the single-quark free energies, implying that the interaction between static quarks is fully screened. The screening properties can be well described by the screened Coulomb form with appropriate Casimir factor at high temperature. We also discuss a limitation of the fixed-scale approach at high temperature.

Habermas, biopower, and the regulation of genetically modified crops and foods
Creators: name: Atkinson, Emily
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: In this paper I combine insights from Habermas’s analysis of the democratic public sphere and Foucault’s concept of biopower to delineate barriers to democratic engagement in health and environmental policy processes, with a focus on rational-critical debate in the public sphere. I begin by demonstrating how Habermas’s approach provides a normative basis for critiquing certain power relations based on how they affect the information and opinions circulating in the public sphere and the development of forums for rational-critical debate. I then explain how Foucault’s concept of biopower draws attention to the more specific mechanisms through which those power relations have the effects that they do in health and environmental policy processes, especially over time. Finally, I apply these insights to the regulation of genetically modified crops and foods in Canada and argue that democratic engagement in this policy process will only improve if unequal power relations that hinder rational-critical debate are mitigated.

description: We present a next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) realization of a general quark mass scheme (S-ACOT-$χ$) in deep inelastic scattering and explore the impact of NNLO terms on heavy-quark structure functions $F_{2,L}^{c}(x,Q)$. An amended QCD factorization theorem for DIS is discussed that validates the S-ACOT-$χ$ scheme to all orders in the QCD coupling strength. As a new feature, kinematical constraints on collinear production of heavy quarks that are crucial near the heavy-quark threshold are included in the amended factorization theorem. An algorithmic procedure is outlined for implementing this scheme at NNLO by using mass-dependent and massless results from literature. At two loops in QCD cut diagrams, the S-ACOT-$χ$ scheme reduces scale dependence of heavy-quark DIS cross sections as compared to the fixed-flavor number scheme.

description: We study the kinematic relative velocity of general test particles with respect to stationary observers (using spherical coordinates) in Schwarzschild spacetime, obtaining that its modulus does not depend on the observer, unlike Fermi, spectroscopic and astrometric relative velocities. We study some fundamental particular cases, generalizing some results given in other work about stationary and radial free-falling test particles. Moreover, we give a new result about test particles with circular geodesic orbits: the modulus of their kinematic relative velocity with respect to any stationary observer depends only on the radius of the circular orbit, and so, it remains constant.

November 2, 09:30-12:00 (CET, UTC+01:00) In 2019, DARIAH, EASSH and OPERAS organized a roundtable gathering researchers, publishers, publishing infrastructures and other types of stakeholders to discuss the challenges and opportunities of a Plan S for academic books. One year later, SPARC Europe joined the group to prepare a workshop to invite the community to discuss how collective action from funders could support the open access publication of academic books. The workshop will be composed of a panel discussion followed by a collective writing session to produce a report that will form the basis of feedback to cOAlition S to support them in their policy development for OA books. This collective effort will be shared with the community for comments in the Open Access Book Network before sharing it with cOAlition S. Martin Paul Eve: Opening the Future: A New Open Access Model for Books  In this talk, Professor Martin Paul Eve will discuss a new economic model for open access to research monographs and edited collections that should be implementable across the university press landscape. Based on the recent revenue report for the Community-led Open Publication Infrastructures for Monographs (COPIM) project, this talk will detail the existing options and then describe the Opening the Future model, in which subscriptions to a backlist are used to fund an open-access frontlist. The talk will give information about the pilot case of Opening the Future at the Central European University Press and set out the next steps in the project.

Perspectives on the operative relationship between landscape and city emerging in recent decades present new ways to understand, order and act in metropolitan territories. To what extent landscape as permanent underlying substructure, or as physical open space system, or as metabolic process has a bearing on the future of the metropolitan region are the broader lenses of these perspectives.

description: We report a study of the intensity and time dependence of scintillation produced by weak alpha particle sources in superfluid helium in the presence of an electric field (0 - 45 kV/cm) in the temperature range of 0.2 K to 1.1 K at the saturated vapor pressure. Both the prompt and the delayed components of the scintillation exhibit a reduction in intensity with the application of an electric field. The reduction in the intensity of the prompt component is well approximated by a linear dependence on the electric field strength with a reduction of 15% at 45 kV/cm. When analyzed using the Kramers theory of columnar recombination, this electric field dependence leads to the conclusion that roughly 40% of the scintillation results from species formed from atoms originally promoted to excited states and 60% from excimers created by ionization and subsequent recombination with the charges initially having a cylindrical Gaussian distribution about the alpha track of 60 nm radius. The intensity of the delayed component of the scintillation has a stronger dependence on the electric field strength and on temperature. The implications of these data on the mechanisms affecting scintillation in liquid helium are discussed.

Instability of Near-Extremal Black Holes in N=2, d=4 Supergravity

description: As a precursor to studying the bound states of multiple non-extremal black holes in $\mathcal{N}=2$, $d=4$ supergravity, we investigate the stability of a near-extremal D0-D4 black hole in the probe limit, when the parameters of the black hole solution lie within a certain regime. We determine whether it is possible to form bound states of this "core" non-extremal black hole with BPS probe particles, and whether it is possible for the "core" black hole to decay by the emission of such BPS probes either to a local minimum of the probe potential, or spatial infinity. We first carry out a qualitative analysis of the probe potential to determine when quantum tunneling of probes from the black hole is possible. We then find the wavefunction of the scattered probe by using the WKB approximation to solve the Dirac equation in the black hole background, and use this solution to compute the tunneling amplitude.

description: In recent decades, most rural-urban fringes in the Netherlands have seen substantial urbanisation. Urban expansions at the rural-urban fringe have formed complex hybrid landscapes consisting of residential areas, commercial zones, agricultural land, recreational and nature areas. In certain regions, urbanisation is rather compact and concentric, whereas others show dispersed and polycentric morphological patterns. Based on quantitative and qualitative spatial research, this article analyses recent urban developments and urbanisation patterns along the rural-urban fringe in the Netherlands, and identifies challenges for planning and design at national, regional and local levels.Urban compaction policy has prevented urban sprawl in the Netherlands. However, in some regions traditionally unwanted urban development patterns can be discerned. On a national level, an important question is how increasing dispersed urbanisation may affect the economic performance of cities and the efficient use of existing infrastructure. On a regional level, there is a need for urbanisation strategies that transcend municipal boundaries. On a local level, innovative urban design/re-design strategies may help improve connections between separated functions, involve local stakeholders, and upgrade the identity of places at the fringe.

Dynamics of killing biofilm bateria
Creators: name: Stojicic, Sonja
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: Oral bacteria are the main cause of common oral diseases such as caries, periodontal infection and root canal infections. Bacteria in nature survive predominantly as biofilms, which are complex microbial communities composed of populations of microorganisms adhered to living or non-living surfaces and embedded in a self-produced matrix of extracellular polymeric substance (EPS). Various biofilm models have been developed to simulate the real situation in nature. In this thesis, I studied a new in vitro biofilm model, and examined the antimicrobial efficacy of current as well as newly developed endodontic irrigants/protocols against planktonic and biofilm bacteria. Single and multispecies biofilms were grown on sterile hydroxyapatite and dentin discs coated with bovine dermal collagen Type I . Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to examine the biofilm microorganisms. The antimicrobial effect of sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), iodine potassium iodide (IPI), chlorhexidine (CHX) and a new disinfecting agent (QMiX- a mixture of CHX, EDTA, and a detergent) was evaluated. The antimicrobial strategies included in the studies were photoactivated disinfection (PAD) and its experimental modifications. Biofilms at different stages of maturation were exposed to various antibacterial agents, and the killing of biofilm bacteria was observed using viability staining and confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). The new in vitro biofilm model had similarities to in vivo biofilms, as described in the literature. This biofilm model reached maturation between two and three weeks. Mature biofilms were less sensitive to disinfecting agents than young biofilms. The time required for the biofilms to become resistant to disinfecting agents (maturation) was not dependent on the source of biofilm bacteria or the type of disinfectant used. Modified photoactivated disinfection was up to almost twenty two times more effective in killing biofilm bacteria than conventional PAD and up to almost eight times more effective than the commonly used endodontic irrigants. A new endodontic irrigant, QMiX was more effective in killing planktonic and biofilm bacteria than 2% CHX, BioPure MTAD (a mixture of tetracycline isomer, an acid, and a detergent), and 1% and 2% NaOCl.The new biofilm model seems promising for testing and developing efficient methods to eradicate oral biofilm bacteria.

(Figs 243–244, 303)
Species recognition. This species is recognized by the contrastingly dark midcoxa and the structure of the hind femur, with its distinctive clear areas.
Description. Body length: 2–2.53 mm. Head: Frons brown, second row of setae slightly concave. Flagellomere 1 rounded-oval, brown. Palpus of normal size, yellow to orange. Thorax: Scutum light brown. Scutellum brown, with 2 pairs of setae; anterior seta two-thirds length of posterior seta. Pleuron with proepisternum and dorsum of anepisternum dark brown, rest of pleuron whitish-yellow. Mean costal length 0.52 wing length, range 0.5–0.54. Halter yellow. Legs yellowish-brown, except apex of hind femur dark brown. Forecoxa in lateral view whitish-yellow. Foretibia with 3 dorsal setae. Foretarsomeres slender, elongate. Midcoxa brown. Hind coxa whitish-yellow. Hind coxal lobe light brown, short, with ventral projection. Posterior face of hind femur with rounded basal group of peglike setae; more distally with clear rounded concavity and more distal shallow elongate concavity; distal to concavities hind femur with small blunt swelling, followed by narrow elongate clear concavity along much of length of femur (Figs 243–244, 303). Abdomen: Abdominal tergite 1 light brown, tergites 2–6 yellow medially, anteriorly and posteriorly, dark brown laterally, with lateral yellow area decreasing in every tergite posteriorly. Venter of abdomen whitish-yellow, with few setae, larger on posterior margin of segment 5. Male terminalia with epandrium yellowish-brown, hypandrium brown, and cercus yellow.
Variation. In some specimens, the first and second concavities are not clearly separated, but there is still a bulge dorsally above where this separation would occur (Fig. 303). In a specimen from French Guiana, the second concavity is much reduced in size.
Distribution. Central America to northern South America.
Derivation of specific epithet. From Latin for “two caves”, referring to the two basal concavities on the ventral margin of the hind femur.

description: In this article we give new examples of models in boundary quantum field theory, i.e. local time-translation covariant nets of von Neumann algebras, using a recent construction of Longo and Witten, which uses a local conformal net A on the real line together with an element of a unitary semigroup associated with A. Namely, we compute elements of this semigroup coming from Hölder continuous symmetric inner functions for a family of (completely rational) conformal nets which can be obtained by starting with nets of real subspaces, passing to its second quantization nets and taking local extensions of the former. This family is precisely the family of conformal nets associated with lattices, which as we show contains as a special case the level 1 loop group nets of simply connected, simply laced groups. Further examples come from the loop group net of Spin(n) at level 2 using the orbifold construction.

description: Let C be a locally convex subset of a negatively curved Riemannian manifold M. We define the skinning measure on the outer unit normal bundle to C in M by pulling back the Patterson-Sullivan measures at infinity, and give a finiteness result of skinning measures, generalising the work of Oh and Shah, with different methods. We prove that the skinning measures, when finite, of the equidistant hypersurfaces to C equidistribute to the Bowen-Margulis measure on the unit tangent bundle of M, assuming only that the Bowen-Margulis measure is finite and mixing for the geodesic flow. Under additional assumptions on the rate of mixing, we give a control on the rate of equidistribution.

description: With this invited presentation as part of the joint EIFL/COAR/OpenAIRE panel session "Equity and inclusion: community-owned infrastructures for open science", Janneke Adema talks about what COPIM as a project is currently learning from other projects, including CLACSO and the DOAJ, EIFL, COAR and OpenAIRE, around what good governance is and how we can ensure it is indeed community-focused and directed. Hopefully once we are a bit further along in the project I will be able to share more about our own experiences of setting up community-led governance structures, which is what we will be focusing on in the next couple of years. Janneke starts by highlighting the collaborative nature of the research I present here today which has been developed together with COPIM members and supporters, and draws strongly on the insights and establishments of other community-led publishing projects we draw our inspiration from. This presentation draws on the work Janneke has been doing with COPIM colleagues Sherri Barnes, Eileen Joy, and Samuel Moore, and in particular on a series of blogposts written together with Samuel Moore reflecting on a Community Governance workshop we hosted this year. The discussions with the workshop participants directly informed these blogposts. They were posted on COPIM’s Open Documentation Site on PubPub, where we are indeed openly documenting the research we are conducting and the progress we are making within the project.

description: We present FLAMES/GIRAFFE integral field spectroscopy of 30 galaxies in the massive cluster Abell 1689 at z = 0.183. Conducting an analysis similar to that of ATLAS3D, we extend the baseline of the kinematic morphology-density relation by an order of magnitude in projected density and show that it is possible to use existing instruments to identify slow and fast rotators beyond the local Universe. We find 4.5 +- 1.0 slow rotators with a distribution in magnitude similar to those in the Virgo cluster. The overall slow rotator fraction of our Abell 1689 sample is 0.15 +- 0.03, the same as in Virgo using our selection criteria. This suggests that the fraction of slow rotators in a cluster is not strongly dependent on its density. However, within Abell 1689, we find that the fraction of slow rotators increases towards the centre, as was also found in the Virgo cluster.

description: We show that electron--electron scattering gives a positive contribution to the resistivity of ballistic multimode wires whose width is much smaller than their length. This contribution is not exponentially small at low temperatures and therefore may be experimentally observable. It scales with temperature as $T^2$ for three-dimensional channels and as $T^{5/2}$ for two-dimensional ones.

Heegard-Berger and Cascade Source Coding Problems with Common Reconstruction Constraints

description: For the HB problem with the CR constraint, the rate-distortion function is derived under the assumption that the side information sequences are (stochastically) degraded. The rate-distortion function is also calculated explicitly for three examples, namely Gaussian source and side information with quadratic distortion metric, and binary source and side information with erasure and Hamming distortion metrics. The rate-distortion function is then characterized for the HB problem with cooperating decoders and (physically) degraded side information. For the cascade problem with the CR constraint, the rate-distortion region is obtained under the assumption that side information at the final node is physically degraded with respect to that at the intermediate node. For the latter two cases, it is worth emphasizing that the corresponding problem without the CR constraint is still open. Outer and inner bounds on the rate-distortion region are also obtained for the cascade problem under the assumption that the side information at the intermediate node is physically degraded with respect to that at the final node. For the three examples mentioned above, the bounds are shown to coincide. Finally, for the HB problem, the rate-distortion function is obtained under the more general requirement of constrained reconstruction, whereby the decoder's estimate must be recovered at the encoder only within some distortion.

title: Exploring the Public Goods Game model to overcome the Tragedy of the Commons in fisheries management

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.In situations of declining or depleted fish stocks, exploiters seem to have fallen prey to the Tragedy of the Commons, which occurs when the maximisation of short-term self-interest produces outcomes leaving all participants worse off than feasible alternatives would. Standard economic theory predicts that in social dilemmas, such as fishing from a common resource, individuals are not willing to cooperate and sacrifice catches in the short term, and that, consequently, the resource is overharvested. However, over the last decades, a multitude of research has shown that humans often achieve outcomes that are “better than rational” by building conditions where reciprocity, reputation, and trust help to overcome the temptations of short-term self-interest. The evolution of the natural human tendency to cooperate under certain conditions can be explained, and its neuro-physiological and genetic bases are being unravelled. Nevertheless, fisheries management still often deploys top-down regulation and economic incentives in its aim to regulate fisher behaviour, and under-utilizes the potential for spontaneous responsible fisher behaviour through setting conditions that enhance natural cooperative tendencies. Here I introduce this body of knowledge on how to overcome the Tragedy of the Commons to the audience of fisheries scientists, hoping to open up novel ways of thinking in this field. I do this through a series of thought experiments, based on actual published experiments, exploring under what conditions responsible and cooperative fisher behaviour can be expected. Keys include reputation-building and indirect reciprocity, face-to-face communication, knowledge on the state of the resource, and self-decision on rules and sanctions.
