description: The relativistic Fokker-Planck equation, in which the speed of light $c$ appears as a parameter, is considered. It is shown that in the limit $c\to\infty$ its solutions converge in $L^1$ to solutions of the non-relativistic Fokker-Planck equation, uniformly in compact intervals of time. Moreover in the case of spatially homogeneous solutions, and provided the temperature of the thermal bath is sufficiently small, exponential trend to equilibrium in $L^1$ is established. The dependence of the rate of convergence on the speed of light is estimated. Finally, it is proved that exponential convergence to equilibrium for all temperatures holds in a weighted $L^2$ norm.

description: The in-medium mass of the $η^{\prime}$ meson is discussed in a context of partial restoration of chiral symmetry in nuclear medium. The $η^{\prime}$ mass is expected to be reduced by order of 100 MeV at the saturation density. The reduction is a consequence of the suppression of the anomaly effect on the $η^{\prime}$ mass induced by partial restoration of chiral symmetry. This strong attraction in $η^{\prime}$ nuclear systems does not accompany large absorption of $η^{\prime}$ into nuclear matter. This leads to the possibility of so narrow bound states of the $η^{\prime}$ meson in nuclei to be seen in hadronic reactions with light nuclear targets.

Design techniques for high-temperature analog and mixed-signal integrated circuits
Creators: name: Sadeghi, Nima
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Reliable high-temperature analog and mixed-signal CMOS circuits are required for several applications including aerospace, automotive control, oil field instrumentation, and pulp and paper digesters. In particular, in this work we focus on the design of key building blocks of a miniature sensor interface system that is intended to operate in a pulp and paper digester and collect and record sensory data such as pressure and temperature along its trajectory within the digester. The temperature inside the digester can be as high as 180℃. Design considerations and techniques for implementing these building blocks both at component- and circuit-levels are presented. At the component level, techniques for designing monolithic resistors with a desired temperature coefficient (TC) are proposed, and an analysis on the effects of design parameters such as resistor length, width and the number of fingers on the TC of such multi-finger resistor structures is presented. Furthermore, since the foundry-provided transistor models are typically valid up to 125℃, various NMOS and PMOS transistors with diff erent sizes are implemented to study their behaviour at high temperature. Based on our observations, a suitable sizing for transistors is suggested for circuits operating up to 200℃. At the circuit-level, several key building blocks such as bias circuits, voltage references and oscillators are designed and proof-of-concept prototypes are implemented in a standard 0.13 ㎛ CMOS process. The operation of the circuits is experimentally validated over the temperature range of interest, namely, 25 to 200℃. Also, a low-complexity resistive and capacitive temperature-compensation techniques for high-temperature relaxation oscillators is proposed. Although the temperature stability of the proposed oscillator (108 ppm/℃) compares favourably with that of state-of-the-art designs, it occupies 0.007 mm² which is 2.3 to 114 times smaller than other comparable designs. Also, the proposed circuit operates reliably up to 200℃ (as compared to 125℃ in other designs). Although the proposed techniques are only validated using proof-of-concept prototypes in a 0.13 ㎛ CMOS technology, they are general and our preliminary studies on several technologies indicate that the techniques can be implemented in other CMOS technologies as well.

description: Using the first law of binary black-hole mechanics, we compute the binding energy E and total angular momentum J of two non-spinning compact objects moving on circular orbits with frequency Omega, at leading order beyond the test-particle approximation. By minimizing E(Omega) we recover the exact frequency shift of the Schwarzschild innermost stable circular orbit induced by the conservative piece of the gravitational self-force. Comparing our results for the coordinate invariant relation E(J) to those recently obtained from numerical simulations of comparable-mass non-spinning black-hole binaries, we find a remarkably good agreement, even in the strong-field regime. Our findings confirm that the domain of validity of perturbative calculations may extend well beyond the extreme mass-ratio limit.

description: The model-independent techniques for measuring the CKM angle $\gamma/\phi3$ need an input from quantum-correlated charm decays. Such decays can be obtained at the e+ecolliders operating at the $\psi(3770)$ resonance threshold. Decays of $\psi(3770)$ to two neutral charm mesons allow the measurement of the strong phases, the coherence factors and the CP content of multibody charm decays. We present an overview of the resent quantum-correlated results from the BESIII experiment, and its predecessor, CLEO-c.

description: This Article outlines a blockchain based system to solve the orphan works problem. Orphan works are works still ostensibly protected by copyright for which an author cannot be found. Orphan works represent a significant problem for the efficient dissemination of knowledge, since users cannot license the works, and as a result may choose not to use them. Our proposal uses a blockchain to register attempts to find the authors of orphan works, and otherwise to facilitate use of those works.

There are three elements to our proposal. First, we propose a number of mechanisms, included automated systems, to perform a diligent search for a rights holder. Second, we propose a blockchain register where every search for a work’s owner can be recorded. Third, we propose a legal mechanism that delivers works into orphanhood, and affords a right to use those works after a search for a rights holder is deemed diligent. These changes would provide any user of an orphan work with an assurance that they were acting legally as long as they had consulted the register and/or performed a diligent search for the work’s owner.

The Article demonstrates a range of complementary legal and technological architectures that, in various formations, can be deployed to address the orphan works problem. We show that these technological systems are useful for enhancement of the public domain more generally, through the existence of a growing registry of gray status works and clarified conditions for their use. The selection and design of any particular implementation is a choice for policy makers and technologists. Rather than specify how that choice should look, the goal here is to demonstrate the utility of the technology and to clarify and promote its role in reforming this vexed area of law.

description: We present a catalog of over 6.2 million stars with measured proper motions. All these stars are observed in the direction of the Magellanic Clouds within the brightness range 12 < I < 19 mag. Based on these proper motions about 440 000 Galactic foreground stars can be selected. Because the proper motions are based on a few hundred epochs collected during eight years, their statistical uncertainties are below 0.5 mas/yr for stars brighter than I = 18.5 mag. The parallaxes are derived with uncertainties down to 1.6 mas. For above 13 000 objects parallaxes are derived with significance above 3σ, which allows selecting around 270 white dwarfs (WDs). The search for common proper motion binaries among stars presented was performed resulting in over 500 candidate systems. The most interesting ones are candidate halo main sequence star-WD and WD-WD systems. The application of the catalog to empirically bound the Cepheid instability strip is also discussed.

description: Medieval Ceramics: Journal of the Medieval Ceramics Research Group, 17, 51-60
description: Martincamp' flasks have been widely published in Great Britain under the name of this village in the Seine-Maritime (Eastern Normandy), to the extent that their 'provenance' is well-established in the literature. However, the evidence supporting this definite attribution is weak. A study of 'Martincamp' wares on both sides of the Channel, particularly from London (Museum of London) and Dieppe (Castle Museum), showed that they could have been produced in a wider area, and that the production was not just limited to flasks. This demonstrates the fundamental problem of attributions made at distance in consumer sites when so little is known of the production centres.

We exploit Bogadanov's Miura-type map which transforms solutions of the modified Novikov-Veselov (mNV) equation into solutions of the NV equation. We show that the Cauchy data of conductivity type considered by Lassas, Mueller, Siltanen, and Stahel correspond precisely to the range of the Miura map, so that it suffices to study the mNV equation. We solve the mNV equation using the scattering transform associated to the defocussing Davey-Stewartson II equation.

Affect of QED corrections on R(D)

description: We discuss long-distance QED contributions to B^0 → D^+τν and B^− →D^0τν relative to B^0 → D^+µν and B^− → D^0µν, respectively, in the Standard Model. We point out that the QED corrections to the ratios R(D^+) and R(D^0) are not the same and not negligible. The reason is that long-distance QED corrections depend on the masses and relative velocities of the daughter particles; muon mode is a relativistic decay but tau mode is not.

description: We have investigated the non-static Lorentzian Wormhole model in presence of anisotropic pressure. We have presented some exact solutions of Einstein equations for anisotropic pressure case. Introducing two EoS parameters we have shown that these solutions give very rich dynamics of the universe yielding to the different expansion history of it in the $r$ - direction and in the $T$ - direction. The corresponding explicit forms of the shape function $b(r)$ is presented.We have shown that the Einstein's field equations and unified first law are equivalent for the dynamical wormhole model. The first law of thermodynamics has been derived by using the Unified first law. The physical quantities including surface gravity and the temperature are derived for the wormhole. Here we have obtained all the results without any choice of the shape function. The validity of generalized second law (GSL) of thermodynamics has been examined at apparent and event horizons for the evolving Lorentzian wormhole.

description: This paper is concerned with the imported pottery found in 12th- to 15th-century contexts in the region of Bruges; it comprises a survey of the archaeological evidence and a discussion1. General trends in the presence of foreign pottery and variations in their quantity and origin are considered with reference to specific sites; some possible factors governing the presence/absence of imported ceramics (trade in pottery for its own sake, commercial activities, competition with local wares, protectionism by town legislation, the theory of 'imports staying in the ports3, coincidence, etc.) are also discussed.

description: The study of the heat-trace expansion in noncommutative field theory has shown the existence of Moyal nonlocal Seeley-DeWitt coefficients which are related to the UV/IR mixing and manifest, in some cases, the non-renormalizability of the theory. We show that these models can be studied in a worldline approach implemented in phase space and arrive to a master formula for the $n$-point contribution to the heat-trace expansion. This formulation could be useful in understanding some open problems in this area, as the heat-trace expansion for the noncommutative torus or the introduction of renormalizing terms in the action, as well as for generalizations to other nonlocal operators.

Artificial Intelligence’s Fair Use Crisis

description: As automation supplants more forms of labor, creative expression still seems like a distinctly human enterprise. This may someday change: by ingesting works of authorship as “training data,” computer programs can teach themselves to write natural prose, compose music, and generate movies. Machine learning is an artificial intelligence (“AI”) technology with immense potential and a commensurate appetite for copyrighted works. In the United States, the copyright law mechanism most likely to facilitate machine learning’s uses of protected data is the fair use doctrine. However, current fair use doctrine threatens either to derail the progress of machine learning or to disenfranchise the human creators whose work makes it possible.

This Article addresses the problem in three Parts: using popular machine learning datasets and research as case studies, Part I describes how programs “learn” from corpora of copyrighted works and catalogs the legal risks of this practice. It concludes that fair use may not protect expressive machine learning applications, including the burgeoning field of natural language generation. Part II explains that applying today’s fair use doctrine to expressive machine learning will yield one of two undesirable outcomes: if U.S. courts reject the fair use defense for machine learning, valuable innovation may move to another jurisdiction or halt entirely; alternatively, if courts find the technology to be fair use, sophisticated software may divert rightful earnings from the authors of input data. This dilemma shows that fair use may no longer serve its historical purpose. Traditionally, fair use is understood to benefit the public by fostering expressive activity. Today, the doctrine increasingly serves the economic interests of powerful firms at the expense of disempowered individual rights holders. Finally, in Part III, this Article contemplates changes in doctrine and policy that could address these problems. It concludes that the United States’ interest in avoiding both prongs of AI’s fair use dilemma offers a novel justification for redistributive measures that could promote social equity alongside technological progress.

description: Galileon fields arise naturally from the decoupling limit of massive gravities, and possess special self-interactions which are protected by a spacetime generalization of Galilean symmetry. We briefly revisit the inflationary phenomenology of Galileon theories. Working from recent computations of the fluctuation Lagrangian to cubic order in the most general model with second-order equations of motion, we show that a distinct shape is present but with suppressed amplitude. A similar shape has been found in other higher-derivative models. It may be visible in a theory tuned to suppress the leading-order shapes, or if the overall bispectrum has large amplitude. Using a partial-wave expansion of the bispectrum, we suggest a possible origin for the frequent appearance of this shape. It follows that models with very disparate microphysics can produce very similar bispectra. We argue that it may be more profitable to distinguish these models by searching for relations between the amplitudes of these common shapes. We illustrate this method using the example of DBI and k-inflation.

An exception within trade dress, the sua sponte “UX Exception,” is proposed as one of the most viable solutions to bridge the ever expanding disconnect between UX’s preeminence and inadequate legal protections.

description: In computing the third order terms of the series of powers of the center manifold at an equilibrium point of a scalar delay differential equation, with a single constant delay $r>0,$ some problems occur at the term $w_{21}z^2\bar{z}.$ More precisely, in order to determine the values at 0, respectively $-r$ of the function $w_{21}(\,.\,),$ an algebraic system of equations must be solved. We show that the two equations are dependent, hence the system has an infinity of solutions. Then we show how we can overcome this lack of uniqueness and provide a formula for $w_{21}(0).$

description: We analyze the non-equilibrium steady states (NESS) of a one dimensional harmonic chain of $N$ atoms with alternating masses connected to heat reservoirs at unequal temperatures. We find that the temperature profile defined through the local kinetic energy $T(j) \equiv {}/{m_j}$, oscillates with period two in the bulk of the system. Depending on boundary conditions, either the heavier or the lighter particles in the bulk are hotter. We obtain exact expressions for the bulk temperature profile and steady state current in the limit $N \rightarrow \infty$. These depend on whether $N$ is odd or even. We also study similar temperature oscillations in the NESS of systems with noise in the dynamics. These die out as $N \rightarrow \infty$.

Recent data presented at the Neutrino 2012 Conference are also included. We focus on the correlations between theta_13 and the mixing angle theta_23, as well as between theta_13 and the neutrino CP-violation phase delta. We find interesting indications for theta_23< pi/4 and possible hints for delta ~ pi, with no significant difference between normal and inverted mass hierarchy.

description: This Note argues that live-streaming technology has implicated several important legal rights held by various parties, from the freedom of expression rights of the videographers/streamers themselves, to privacy rights of inadvertent participants in a third party’s live stream. Part I briefly discusses the types of streaming currently available, focusing on an explanation of live-streaming and the transition from archived content applications to live-streaming applications, and then moves on to examining the trajectory of the laws governing live-streaming technology. Additionally, Part I discusses parts of the body of both state and federal privacy laws which could apply to live-streaming. Part II of this Note applies the framework established in Part I to Facebook Live, comparing the live-streaming service to more traditional broadcasting, and discussing the rights and liabilities of live-streamers, those who may inadvertently find themselves included in a live stream, and select third parties. Part III discusses past solutions to privacy issues raised by media activities, and Part IV examines why the advent of social media live-streaming presents novel questions. Part V concludes this Note by discussing potential policy implications and asking the question: where do we go from here?

description: The Pan-STARRS 1 (PS1) survey of M31 (PAndromeda) is designed to identify gravitational microlensing events, caused by bulge and disk stars (self-lensing) and by compact matter in the halos of M31 and the Milky Way (halo lensing, or lensing by MACHOs). With the 7 deg2 FOV of PS1, the entire disk of M31 can be imaged with one single pointing. Our aim is to monitor M31 with this wide FOV with daily sampling (20 mins/day). In the 2010 season we acquired in total 91 nights towards M31, with 90 nights in the rP1 and 66 nights in the iP1. The total integration time in rP1 and iP1 are 70740s and 36180s, respectively. As a preliminary analysis, we study a 40'\times40' sub-field in the central region of M31, a 20'\times20' sub-field in the disk of M31 and a 20'\times20' sub-field for the investigation of astrometric precision. We demonstrate that the PSF is good enough to detect microlensing events. We present light curves for 6 candidate microlensing events. This is a competitive rate compared to previous M31 microlensing surveys. We finally also present one example light curve for Cepheids, novae and eclipsing binaries in these sub-fields.

description: Dual-comb spectroscopy is a powerful technique for real-time, broadband optical sampling of molecular spectra, which requires no moving components. Recent developments with microresonator-based platforms have enabled frequency combs at the chip scale. However, the need to precisely match the resonance wavelengths of distinct high quality-factor microcavities has hindered the development of on-chip dual combs. We report the simultaneous generation of two microresonator combs on the same chip from a single laser, drastically reducing experimental complexity. We demonstrate broadband optical spectra spanning 51 THz and low-noise operation of both combs by deterministically tuning into soliton mode-locked states using integrated microheaters, resulting in narrow (<10 kHz) microwave beat notes. We further use one comb as a reference to probe the formation dynamics of the other comb, thus introducing a technique to investigate comb evolution without auxiliary lasers or microwave oscillators. We demonstrate high signal-to-noise ratio absorption spectroscopy spanning 170 nm using the dual-comb source over a 20-μs acquisition time. Our device paves the way for compact and robust spectrometers at nanosecond time scales enabled by large beat-note spacings (>1 GHz).

description: The projective Finsler metrizability problem deals with the question whether a projective-equivalence class of sprays is the geodesic class of a (locally or globally defined) Finsler function. In this paper we use Hilbert-type forms to state a number of different ways of specifying necessary and sufficient conditions for this to be the case, and we show that they are equivalent. We also address several related issues of interest including path spaces, Jacobi fields, totally-geodesic submanifolds of a spray space, and the equivalence of path geometries and projective-equivalence classes of sprays.

description: The mixing of photons with axion-like particles (ALPs) in the large-scale magnetic field $B$ changes the polarization angle of a linearly polarized photon beam from active galactic nuclei in radio galaxies as it propagates over cosmological distances. Using available ultraviolet polarization data concerning these sources we derive a new bound on the product of the photon-ALP coupling $g_{aγ}$ times $B$. We find $g_{aγ} B \lesssim 10^{-11}$ GeV$^{-1}$ nG for ultralight ALPs with $m_a \lesssim 10^{-15}$ eV. We compare our new bound with the ones present in the literature and we comment about possible improvements with observations of more sources.

description: Anomalously light fermionic partners of the top quark often appear in explicit constructions, such as the 5d holographic models, where the Higgs is a light composite pseudo Nambu-Goldstone boson and its potential is generated radiatively by top quark loops. We show that this is due to a structural correlation among the mass of the partners and the one of the Higgs boson. Because of this correlation, the presence of light partners could be essential to obtain a realistic Higgs mass. We quantitatively confirm this generic prediction, which applies to a broad class of composite Higgs models, by studying the simplest calculable framework with a composite Higgs, the Discrete Composite Higgs Model. In this setup we show analytically that the requirement of a light enough Higgs strongly constraints the fermionic spectrum and makes the light partners appear. The light top partners thus provide the most promising manifestation of the composite Higgs scenario at the LHC. Conversely, the lack of observation of these states can put strong restrictions on the parameter space of the model. A simple analysis of the 7-TeV LHC searches presently available already gives some non-trivial constraint. The strongest bound comes from the exclusion of the 5/3-charged partner. Even if no dedicated LHC search exists for this particle, a bound of 611 GeV is derived by adapting the CMS search of bottom-like states in same-sign dileptons.

description: The prospect of efficient solid state refrigeration at room temperature is driving research into magnetic cooling engine design and magnetic phase transition-based refrigerants. In this Viewpoint an Ashby-style map of magnetic refrigerant properties is constructed, comparing popular materials with limits derived from an idealised first order transition model. This comparison demonstrates the potential for new magnetocaloric material systems to be established through structural control and optimisation at the atomic-, nano- and micro-scale.

Culturally responsive, family-centered positive behaviour support with a Taiwanese family of a child with autism in two home settings
Creators: name: Schroeder, Cathryn

description: Many studies have documented the effectiveness of positive behaviour support (PBS) as an empirical approach to supporting families of children with autism who engage in problem behaviour; however, there remains little research to date on supporting families of different cultural and linguistic backgrounds. The purpose of this study was to assess the effects of a culturally responsive, family-centered PBS approach to intervention on child problem behaviour and participation within two valued family routines, for a child with autism in a family of a diverse cultural and linguistic background. A quasi-experimental multiple baseline design across two routines was used to investigate the association between implementation of the intervention approach and child behaviour and routine participation. In addition, qualitative case study methods were employed to help gain a deeper understanding of the family’s cultural perspectives related to the design and implementation of a PBS plan and of the interventionist’s perspectives on providing behavioural services aimed at cultural responsivity. Quantitative results displayed evidence of two basic effects, in that substantial improvement in child behaviour and routine participation occurred at the point of intervention in both the dinner and sibling play routines. Qualitative results revealed five themes important to providing culturally responsive, family-centered PBS to a family of a diverse cultural and linguistic background. Global measures of child and family functioning also provided evidence of further positive outcomes associated with the intervention process, in terms of improvements in child behavioural and emotional functioning, family quality of life and parental stress as reported by the child’s mother, and family cohesion and flexibility as reported by the child’s father. All results are discussed in terms of contributions to the literature, implications for practice, cautions and limitations, and directions for future research.

description: Around the world, new ventures of all sizes face the challenge of becoming as differentiated as possible while still being perceived as legitimate. Therefore, it is hardly surprising that organizational scholars and managers alike are interested in how to attain this “optimal distinctiveness.” Even after successfully obtaining funding, new ventures are known to be prone to failure during the first years of their existence, which makes attaining optimal distinctiveness particularly relevant during that period of entrepreneurial growth. To better understand this issue, this thesis investigates contextual factors that shape the relationship between optimal distinctiveness and new ventures’ performance during this organizational life cycle stage.

description: Common research tasks ask students to identify a correct answer and justify their answer choice. We propose expanding the array of research tasks to access different knowledge that students might have. By asking students to discuss answers they may not have chosen naturally, we can investigate students' abilities to explain something that is already established or to disprove an incorrect response. The results of these research tasks also provide us with information about how students' responses vary across the different tasks. We discuss three underused question types, their possible benefits and some preliminary results from an electric circuits pretest utilizing these new question types. We find that the answer students most commonly choose as correct is the same choice most commonly eliminated as incorrect. Also, students given the correct answer can provide valuable reasoning to explain it, but they do not spontaneously identify it as the correct answer.
MONETARY POLICY, CENTRAL BANK DIGITAL CURRENCY: A STUDY IN VIETNAM

description: Abstract 
Various forms of digital currencies are garnering attention from governments and the public due to their high-security potential, at least in theory. However, the widespread application of digital currencies in payments can pose potential threats such as fraud and cybersecurity risks, as well as a loss of control over a nation's financial and monetary stability. Therefore, Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) have been introduced to address the shortcomings of physical fiat currency and cryptocurrencies. Utilizing a research synthesis approach with the compilation of real-world events, this study aims to discuss the benefits and risks associated with digital currencies and the issues arising from physical fiat currency and circulating cryptocurrencies in the economy. It presents some potential advantages of CBDCs issued by central banks, analyzes monetary policies in the world of widely adopted CBDCs, and provides a reference CBDC design to bring economic benefits.
