description: The Omicron software is a tool developed to perform a multi-resolution time-frequency analysis of data from gravitational-wave detectors: the LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA detectors. Omicron generates spectrograms from whitened data streams, offering a visual representation of transient detector noises and gravitational-wave events. In addition, these events can be parameterized with an optimized resolution. They can be written to disk to conduct offline noise characterization and gravitational-wave event validation studies. Omicron is optimized to process, in parallel, thousands of data streams recorded by gravitational-wave detectors. The Omicron software plays an important role in vetting gravitational-wave detection candidates and characterization of transient noise.

description: Taking Huang-Huai Plain as an example, evaluation index system is established from four aspects, including the resources condition, the social and economic condition, the agricultural science and technology condition, and the disaster resistant and sustainable production condition. Correlation coefficient method and expert consultation method are used to determine the weight of evaluation index. After the standardization of extreme value, weighted sum method and multiple regression method are adopted to evaluate the influencing factors of agricultural land productivity in Huang-Huai Plain, China. Evaluation result shows that agricultural science and technology condition has a lower contribution rate to the productivity of Huang-Huai Plain than that to Henan Province. Resources condition has a higher contribution rate to the productivity of Huang-Huai Plain than that to Henan Province. Both the social and economic condition and the disaster control and sustainable production condition show relatively small contribution rate to the productivity of Huang-Huai Plain. It can be concluded that the main factors affecting the productivity of Huang-Huai Plain are the backward agricultural science and technology level, the poor farmland quality and the farmland infrastructure. Based on this, relevant suggestions are put forward to improve the farmland productivity of Huang-Huai Plain.

description: We investigate the tail asymptotics of the supremum of X(t)+Y(t)-ct, where X={X(t),t\geq 0} and Y={Y(t),t\geq 0} are two independent stochastic processes. We assume that the process Y has subexponential characteristics and that the process X is more regular in a certain sense than Y. A key issue examined in earlier studies is under what conditions the process X contributes to large values of the supremum only through its average behavior. The present paper studies various scenarios where the latter is not the case, and the process X shows some form of ``atypical'' behavior as well. In particular, we consider a fluid model fed by a Gaussian process X and an (integrated) On-Off process Y. We show that, depending on the model parameters, the Gaussian process may contribute to the tail asymptotics by its moderate deviations, large deviations, or oscillatory behavior.

description: Taking Shuangliu County, Chengdu City, China as an example, evaluation index system for the rights protection effects of farmland transfer contract from three aspects of basic information, transfer agreement and legal safeguards in the contracts. According to the investigation data, weight of evaluation index is determined by both entropy weight and Analytic Hierarchy Process. Comprehensive index method is used to evaluate the rights protection effects of farmland transfer contract in the flat dam, high hill and low hill in Shuangliu County, Chengdu, China. Result shows that the transfer agreement of farmland and the basic information of contract greatly affect the rights protection effects of farmland transfer contract. There are differences in the five indices of the information of the signature of contract, pricing for payment, time limits for farmland transfer, transfer mode of farmland, and use range of farmland transfer. During the farmland transfer in reality, there are three hidden dangers in farmer’s land rights and interests, which are the ill-formed transfer behavior, the relatively low income of farmers from farmland transfer, and the quality decline of farmland and difficult full reclamation in transfer period. Based on the evaluation result and investigation data, countermeasures are put forward to improve the rights protection effects of farmland transfer contract.
The role of the parabrachial/Kolliker Fuse respiratory complex in the control of respiration
Creators: name: Boon, Joyce A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: My goal was to explore the role of the parabrachial/Kölliker Fuse region (PBrKF) of the pons in the production of "state-related" changes in breathing in rats. I hypothesized that the effects of changes in cortical activation state on breathing and respiratory sensitivity are relayed from the pontine reticular formation to the respiratory centres of the medulla via the PBrKF. I found that urethane anaesthetized Sprague Dawley rats spontaneously cycled between a cortically desynchronized state (State I) and a cortically synchronized state (State III), which were very similar to awake and slow wave sleep (SWS) states in unanaesthetized animals, based on EEG criteria. Urethane produced no significant respiratory depression or reduction in sensitivity to hypoxia or hypercapnia. However, breathing frequency (f[sub R]), tidal volume (V[sub T] ) and total ventilation (V[sub TOT]) all increased on cortical activation, and changes in the relative sensitivity to hypoxia and hypercapnia with changes in state were similar to those seen in unanaesthetized rats. This indicated that the urethane model of sleep and wakefulness could be used to investigate the effects of cortical activation state on respiration. Since NMDA-type glutamate receptor mediated processes in the PBrKF are known to be important in respiratory control, I examined the role of the PBrKF as a relay site for state effects on respiration by blocking neurons with NMDA-type glutamate receptors with MK-801. I first used systemic blockade and found that it altered resting ventilation and modified the hypoxic, but not the hypercapnic ventilatory response, as has been reported in unanaesthetized animals. Microinjection of MK-801 into the PBrKF confirmed that the 'wakefulness' stimulus for breathing involved glutamate activation of NMDAr on PBrKF neurons, but these neurons were not involved in the response to either continuous or intermittent hypoxia, nor did they change chemosensitivity on cortical activation. However, they indirectly modulated the HVR by altering cortical activation state as animals cycled between State I during hypoxia, and State III post hypoxia. NMDAr in the PBrKF also functioned to return tidal volume to normal following hypoxia and in so doing, prevented the development of long-term facilitation of breathing.

How can sustainability be drawn out of its niche and into the mainstream? What role can universities play in this? How can we encourage students and university staff to take transformative action for sustainability before it is too late to actively shape our future environment? HSD discussed these questions in a participatory process to create a sustainability strategy.
Four wave mixing with self-phase matching due to collective atomic recoil

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We describe a method for non-degenerate four-wave mixing in a cold sample of 4-level atoms. An integral part of the four-wave mixing process is a collective instability which spontaneously generates a periodic density modulation in the cold atomic sample with a period equal to half of the wavelength of the generated high-frequency optical field. Due to the generation of this density modulation, phase-matching between the pump and scattered fields is not a necessary initial condition for this wave-mixing process to occur, rather the density modulation acts to "self phase-match" the fields during the course of the wave-mixing process. We describe a one-dimensional model of this process, and suggest a proof-of-principle experiment which would involve pumping a sample of cold Cs atoms with three infra-red pump fields to produce blue light.

Localization of transverse waves in randomly layered media at oblique incidence

description: We investigate the oblique incidence of transverse waves on a randomly layered medium in the limit of strong disorder. An approximate method for calculating the inverse localization length based on the assumptions of zero energy flux and complete phase stochastization is presented. Two effects not found at normal incidence have been studied: dependence of the localization length on the polarization, and decrease of the localization length due to the internal reflections from layers with small refractive indexes. The inverse localization length (attenuation rate) for P-polarized radiation is shown to be always smaller than that of S-waves, which is to say that long enough randomly layered sample polarizes transmitted radiation. The localization length for P-polarization depends non-monotonically on the angle of propagation, and under certain conditions turns to infinity at some angle, which means that typical (non-resonant) random realizations become transparent at this angle of incidence (stochastic Brewster effect).

Nuclear Activity and the Dynamics of Elliptical Galaxies
Creators: name: Merrifield, M. R.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: This paper looks for any correlation between the internal dynamics of elliptical galaxies and the relatively mild nuclear activity found in many such systems. We show that there is such a relation in the sense that the active ellipticals tend to be significantly less rotationally supported than their inactive cousins. The correlation can partly be related to the galaxies' luminosities: the brightest galaxies tend to be more active and less rotationally supported. However, even at lower luminosities the active and inactive galaxies seem to have systematically different dynamics. This variation suggests that there are significant large-scale structural differences between active and inactive elliptical galaxies, and hence that the existence of both types of system cannot just be the result of random sporadic nuclear activity.

description: Using the Drude-Boltzmann semiclassical transport theory, we calculate the weak-field Hall resistance of a two-dimensional system at low densities and temperatures, assuming carrier scattering by screened random charged impurity centers. The temperature dependent 2D Hall coefficient shows striking non-monotonicity in strongly screened systems, and in particular, we qualitatively explain the recent puzzling experimental observation of a decreasing Hall resistance with increasing temperature in a dilute 2D hole system. We predict that the impurity scattering limited Hall coefficient will eventually increase with temperature at higher temperatures.

description: This paper describes a new model which generates images in novel poses e.g. by altering face expression and orientation, from just a few instances of a human subject. Unlike previous approaches which require large datasets of a specific person for training, our approach may start from a scarce set of images, even from a single image. To this end, we introduce Character Adaptive Identity Normalization GAN (CainGAN) which uses spatial characteristic features extracted by an embedder and combined across source images. The identity information is propagated throughout the network by applying conditional normalization. After extensive adversarial training, CainGAN receives figures of faces from a certain individual and produces new ones while preserving the person's identity. Experimental results show that the quality of generated images scales with the size of the input set used during inference. Furthermore, quantitative measurements indicate that CainGAN performs better compared to other methods when training data is limited.

Lateral diffusion of a protein on a fluctuating membrane

Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Soft Condensed Matter (cond-mat.soft)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Measurements of lateral diffusion of proteins in a membrane typically assume that the movement of the protein occurs in a flat plane. Real membranes, however, are subject to thermal fluctuations, leading to movement of an inclusion into the third dimension. We calculate the magnitude of this effect by projecting real three-dimensional diffusion onto an effective one on a flat plane. We consider both a protein that is free to diffuse in the membrane and one that also couples to the local curvature. For a freely diffusing inclusion the measured projected diffusion constant is up to 15% smaller than the actual value. Coupling to the curvature enhances diffusion significantly up to a factor of two.

The dynamic tumour microenvironment : from tumour perfusion to differential gene expression
Creators: name: Bennewith, Kevin Leslie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Solid tumours can contain areas of poor oxygenation and nutrient status, and tumour cells in these regions can limit tumour response to therapy. Increasing evidence suggests that the tumour microenvironment can be dynamic, with temporally varying blood flow and oxygen tensions in different tumour regions inducing a variety of gene expression profiles in populations of cells. Cellular hypoxia that varies over time is a poorly understood feature of many tumours, but is thought to represent a key factor contributing to therapy failure. This thesis investigated the solid tumour microenvironment by demonstrating the therapeutic relevance of transient tumour perfusion and transiently hypoxic tumour cells, while developing methods to specifically identify and quantify these cells in human tumour xenografts. During the course of these studies, a number of interesting and novel insights into tumour hypoxia and the dynamic tumour microenvironment became evident, which may have far-reaching implications for clinical cancer therapy. The therapeutic relevance of dynamic tumour perfusion was established by pharmaceutically manipulating tumour blood flow to increase the radiation sensitivity of specific tumour cell subpopulations. Changes in tumour cell hypoxia over time were studied by sequentially administering two exogenous "markers" of hypoxia followed by quantification of tumour cells containing bound marker by flow cytometry. Tumour hypoxia was measured continuously (i.e. was "integrated") over periods of time ranging from hours to days using multiple injections or oral administration of the hypoxia marker pimonidazole, indicating temporal changes in the hypoxic status of some tumour cells. Tumour hypoxia was also studied more implicitly in vitro, using multicellular spheroids to mimic the disparate tumour microenvironments associated with tumour hypoxia. Global gene expression patterns of cells from different microenvironmental conditions were compared using serial analysis of gene expression, and a number of genes were significantly differentially expressed. Products of these differentially expressed genes may provide a means to selectively study the therapeutic implications of transiently hypoxic tumour cells in vivo. Overall, improving our understanding of the dynamic tumour microenvironment (from temporally varying tumour perfusion and hypoxia to differential gene expression) has important implications for the strategic improvement of clinical cancer therapy.

description: Inversion symmetry breaking is a ubiquitous concept in condensed-matter science. On the one hand, it is a prerequisite for many technologically relevant effects such as piezoelectricity, photovoltaic and nonlinear optical properties and spin-transport phenomena. On the other hand, it may determine abstract properties such as the electronic topology in quantum materials. Therefore, the creation of materials where inversion symmetry can be turned on or off by design may be the ultimate route towards controlling parity-related phenomena and functionalities. Here, we engineer the symmetry of ultrathin epitaxial oxide films by sub-unit-cell growth control. We reversibly activate and deactivate inversion symmetry in the layered hexagonal manganites, h-RMnO$_3$ with R = Y, Er, Tb. While an odd number of half-unit-cell layers exhibits a breaking of inversion symmetry through its arrangement of MnO$_5$ bipyramids, an even number of such half-unit-cell layers takes on a centrosymmetric structure. Here we control the resulting symmetry by tracking the growth in situ via optical second-harmonic generation. We furthermore demonstrate that our symmetry engineering works independent of the choice of R and even in heterostructures mixing constituents with different R in a two-dimensional growth mode. Symmetry engineering on the atomic level thus suggests a new platform for the controlled activation and deactivation of symmetry-governed functionalities in oxide-electronic epitaxial thin films.

description: The 1/Nc expansion is formulated for the baryon wave function in terms of a specially constructed generating functional. The leading order of this 1/Nc expansion is universal for all low-lying baryons [including the O(1/Nc) and O(Nc^0) excited resonances] and for baryon-meson scattering states. A nonlinear evolution equation of Hamilton-Jacobi type is derived for the generating functional describing the baryon distribution amplitude in the large-Nc limit. In the asymptotic regime this nonlinear equation is solved analytically. The anomalous dimensions of the leading-twist baryon operators diagonalizing the evolution are computed analytically up to the next-to-leading order of the 1/Nc expansion.

description: The single-degenerate scenario for Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) should yield metal-rich ejecta that enclose some stripped material from the non-degenerate H-rich companion star. We present a large grid of non-local thermodynamic equilibrium steady-state radiative transfer calculations for such hybrid ejecta and provide analytical fits for the Halpha luminosity and equivalent width. Our set of models covers a range of masses for 56Ni and the ejecta, for the stripped material (Mst), and post-explosion epochs from 100 to 300d. The brightness contrast between stripped material and metal-rich ejecta challenges the detection of HI and HeI lines prior to ~100d. Intrinsic and extrinsic optical depth effects also influence the radiation emanating from the stripped material. This inner denser region is marginally thick in the continuum and optically thick in all Balmer lines. The overlying metal-rich ejecta blanket the inner regions, completely below about 5000A, and more sparsely at longer wavelengths. As a consequence, Hbeta should not be observed for all values of Mst through at least 300 days, while Halpha should be observed after ~100d for all Mst >= 0.01Msun. This contrasts with the case of circumstellar (CSM) interaction, not subject to external blanketing, which should produce Halpha and Hbeta lines with a strength dependent primarily on CSM density. We confirm previous analyses that suggest low values of order 0.001Msun for Mst to explain the observations of the two SNe Ia with nebular-phase Halpha detection, in conflict with the much greater stripped mass predicted by hydrodynamical simulations for the single-degenerate scenario. A more likely solution is the double-degenerate scenario, together with CSM interaction, or enclosed material from a tertiary star in a triple system or from a giant planet. [Abridged]

description: In Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) models, it is typically assumed that agricultural resources are smoothly substitutable in neoclassical functions, with flexible prices generating market equilibrium in a setting with full resource employment. Such a specification is often inadequate, especially for analyses of agricultural supply issues. With more disaggregation, the use of smooth, twice-differentiable, production or cost functions to specify agricultural technology is increasingly unrealistic. The purpose of this paper is to show how CGE models formulated as mixed-complementarity (MC) problems can incorporate more realistic, specifications of agricultural supply, drawing on the extensive literature on mathematical programming models applied to agriculture. We extend a stylized standard neoclassical CGE model to a CGE-MC model that includes Leontief (activity-analysis) technology, endogenous determination of the market regime for agricultural factors (unemployment or full employment), and inequality constraints on agricultural factor use. In an analysis of reduced agricultural water supplies in Egypt, we show how such a model can generate realistic results concerning water use and productivity that cannot be captured in a standard CGE model. The main conclusion is that, in analyses focused on agricultural supply issues, CGE-MC models that selectively incorporate features from the mathematical-programming literature offer a powerful alternative to standard models.

Agricultural production has continuously decreased, subject to serious limitations such as declining soil fertility, diseases, pests, drought and erosion plaguing crops growing areas. This situation should have encouraged rural households to increasingly consider the use of promising technologies. This study was done using a case of imazapyr-resistant maize (IRM) technology for combating noxious Striga weed which has devastating effects on maize production in western Kenya. A cross sectional survey that included randomly a total selected sample of 600 households of which 169 IRM users and 431 non-users was employed.

description: Digital Innovation Hubs (DIH) have emerged as a European approach for more effective diffusion of digital technologies. DIHs develop skills and offer supporting services for digital transformation, in particular in SMEs and more recently also in public administration. This approach is based on stateof-the-art innovation ecosystem policy and best practices of innovation support infrastructures. To support sustainable collaboration in the EU ecosystem an alignment of hubs in a European framework of specialisation and collaboration is needed. In this paper we suggest that the network of DIHs and future European DIHs can be a mechanism for the wider European Innovation Support Infrastructure needed for industrial transformation, by means of ‘collaborative specialisation’. The DIH network can be a trailblazer for a truly European Innovation Support Infrastructure which will provide links to capacities, facilities and expertise for the twin digital and green transitions as well as supporting the shift to a more resilient EU. However, finding the right focus and complementarities requires a leadership approach on collaborative specialisation. The establishment of ‘corridors’ between EDIHs can be the tipping-point for more structural collaboration between European industrial ecosystems

description: Several sequential operations are usually needed for implementing controlled quantum gates and generating entanglement between a pair of quantum bits. Based on the conditional quantum dynamics for a two-ion system beyond the Lamb-Dicke limit, here we propose a theoretical scheme for manipulating two-qubit quantum information, i.e., implementing a universal two-qubit quantum gate and generating a two-qubit entangled state, by using a pair of simultaneous laser pulses. Neither the Lamb-Dicke approximation nor the auxiliary atomic level are required. The experimental realizability of this simple approach is also discussed.

description: The irrigated rice-wheat cropping system is the predominant and most profitable farming system in north-west India, especially in Punjab. However, there are growing concerns about the environmental effects of the system, particularly with the practice of burning rice stubbles, due to its adverse effects on human health and air pollution. In this paper we consider the wide array of policy settings that tend to favour current land uses and management practices and their impact on the farming system over time. As part of an ACIAR-funded project, we assess the significance of these policies with a view to considering what additional or alternative policies could be put in place to encourage the adoption of approaches or technologies directly concerned with reducing the practice of stubble burning. We conclude that many of these policy settings limit the gains from technology adoption and might be better addressed prior to considering policies aimed at specific technological solutions.

The rates at which somatic variants from 52 ABI-SOLiD sequenced colorectal tumors and 380 Illumina sequenced colorectal tumors are shared with an Illumina sequenced germline database, stratified by GC content bin. The size of each point is proportional to the logarithm of the number of variants that fall within each GC content bin.

description: An exact solution to the Friedmann equations with a string inspired phantom scalar matter field is constructed and the absence of the "Big Rip" singularity is shown explicitly. The notable features of the concerned model are a ghost sign of the kinetic term and a special polynomial form of the effective tachyon potential. The constructed solution is stable with respect to small fluctuations of the initial conditions and special deviations of the form of the potential.

Electronic structure of superconducting graphite intercalate compounds: The role of the interlayer state

description: Although not an intrinsic superconductor, it has been long--known that, when intercalated with certain dopants, graphite is capable of exhibiting superconductivity. Of the family of graphite--based materials which are known to superconduct, perhaps the most well--studied are the alkali metal--graphite intercalation compounds (GIC) and, of these, the most easily fabricated is the C${}_8$K system which exhibits a transition temperature $\bm{T_c\simeq 0.14} $K. By increasing the alkali metal concentration (through high pressure fabrication techniques), the transition temperature has been shown to increase to as much as $\bm 5 $K in C${}_2$Na. Lately, in an important recent development, Weller \emph{et al.} have shown that, at ambient conditions, the intercalated compounds \cyb and \cca exhibit superconductivity with transition temperatures $\bm{T_c\simeq 6.5} $K and $\bm{11.5} $K respectively, in excess of that presently reported for other graphite--based compounds. We explore the architecture of the states near the Fermi level and identify characteristics of the electronic band structure generic to GICs. As expected, we find that charge transfer from the intercalant atoms to the graphene sheets results in the occupation of the $\bmπ$--bands. Yet, remarkably, in all those -- and only those -- compounds that superconduct, we find that an interlayer state, which is well separated from the carbon sheets, also becomes occupied. We show that the energy of the interlayer band is controlled by a combination of its occupancy and the separation between the carbon layers.

description: Recent empirical studies on agricultural productivity growth in African countries have produced mixed results; some find that uptake of new technology (technical progress) is the main source of total factor productivity growth while others point to improved use of existing technology (efficiency catch-up). This study tests for efficiency catch-up in the agricultural productivity of 33 African countries from 1966 to 2001. We use recent advances in data envelopment analysis (DEA) to generate standard and bootstrap bias corrected technical efficiency scores. In general, we find no evidence of efficiency catching-up. The standard DEA overestimated the efficiency scores of some countries due to small sample bias.

description: We investigate the effects of finite temperature on ultracold Bose atoms confined in an optical lattice plus a parabolic potential in the Mott insulator state. In particular, we analyze the temperature dependence of the density distribution of atomic pairs in the lattice, by means of exact Monte-Carlo simulations. We introduce a simple model that quantitatively accounts for the computed pair density distributions at low enough temperatures. We suggest that the temperature dependence of the atomic pair statistics may be used to estimate the system's temperature at energies of the order of the atoms' interaction energy.
