description: For an arrangement with complement X and fundamental group G, we relate the truncated cohomology ring, H^{<=2}(X), to the second nilpotent quotient, G/G_3. We define invariants of G/G_3 by counting normal subgroups of a fixed prime index p, according to their abelianization. We show how to compute this distribution from the resonance varieties of the Orlik-Solomon algebra mod p. As an application, we establish the cohomology classification of 2-arrangements of n<=6 planes in R^4.

Byblitea Baly, 1864: 136 (type species Byblitea deyrollei Baly, 1864, by original designation).
Remarks
As currently constituted, this genus contains six described species, all from South America. It is distinguished from most other metacycline genera by having bifid, rather than appendiculate, tarsal claws. However, some species currently placed in Chthoneis Baly, 1864 (but not the type species) are extremely similar to some species currently in Byblitea, although possessing appendiculate claws. Perhaps, such species should be transferred to Byblitea. Alternatively, a new genus may need to be erected, with some members possessing bifid claws and others appendiculate claws. Further taxonomic investigation is warranted. See Figs 59 and 157.

description: Inflation generates gravitational waves, which may be observable in the low multipoles of the cosmic microwave background (cmb) anisotropy but only if the inflaton field variation is at least of order the Planck scale. Such a large variation would imply that the model of inflation cannot be part of an ordinary extension of the standard model, and combined with the detection of the waves it would also suggest that the inflaton field cannot be one of the superstring moduli. Another implication of observable gravitational waves would be a potential $V^{1/4}=2$ to $4\times 10^{16}\GeV$, which is orders of magnitude bigger than is expected on the basis of particle theory. It might emerge in a hybrid inflation model where most of the energy density comes from the Higgs sector of a GUT, but only if both the vacuum expectation values {\em and the masses } of the Higgs fields are of this order.

description: We give a brief review on the use of Bethe ansatz techniques to construct solutions of recursive functional equations which emerged in a bootstrap approach to the quantum Ernst system. The construction involves two particular limits of a rational Bethe ansatz system with complex inhomogeneities. First, we pinch two insertions to the critical value. This links Bethe systems with different number of insertions and leads to the concept of sequential Bethe vectors. Second, we study the semiclassical limit of the system in which the scale parameter of the insertions tends to infinity.

Quantum enhancement of sensitivity achieved by photon-number-resolving detection in the dark port of a two-path interferometer operating at high intensities

description: It is shown that the maximal phase sensitivity of a two-path interferometer with high-intensity coherent light and squeezed vacuum in the input ports can be achieved by photon-number-resolving detection of only a small number of photons in a dark output port. It is then possible to achieve the quantum Cramér-Rao bound of the two-path interferometer using only the field displacement dependence of the photon number statistics in the single mode output of the dark port represented by a field-displaced squeezed vacuum state. We find that, at small field displacements, it is not sufficient to use the average photon number as the estimator, indicating that an optimal phase estimation depends critically on measurements of the precise photon number. We therefore analyze the effect of detection efficiency on the Fisher information and show that there is a transition from low robustness against photon losses associated with quantum interference effects at low field displacements to high robustness against photon losses at high field displacements. The transition between the two regimes occurs at field shifts proportional to the third power of the squeezing factor, indicating that squeezing greatly enhances the phase interval in which quantum effects are relevant in optimal phase estimations using photon resolving detectors. The case under study could thus be understood as a `missing link' between genuine multiphoton interference and the straightforward suppression of noise usually associated with squeezed light.

This advance allows for efficient computation of gradients of the excited-state Born-Oppenheimer energy, allowing for the study of relaxation, molecular dynamics, and photoluminescence of excited states. The approach is tested on photoexcited carbon dioxide and ammonia molecules, and the calculations accurately describe the excitation energies and photoinduced structural deformations.

Our proof is based on a positive commutator argument which differs from Mourre-type estimates by making the commutant also positive. The resolvent estimates, including the weighting of the Sobolev spaces in the estimates, are an immediate consequence.

This `inverted' hybrid inflation has a spectral index $ n < 1 $, in contrast with ordinary hybrid inflation which has $ n \gtrsim 1 $, so a measured value of $n$ substantially different from 1 would distinguish the two. Other generalisations of hybrid inflation are also considered.

description: The method of maximum entropy (ME) is extended to address the following problem: Once one accepts that the ME distribution is to be preferred over all others, the question is to what extent are distributions with lower entropy supposed to be ruled out. Two applications are given. The first is to the theory of thermodynamic fluctuations. The formulation is exact, covariant under changes of coordinates, and allows fluctuations of both the extensive and the conjugate intensive variables. The second application is to the construction of an objective prior for Bayesian inference. The prior obtained by following the ME method to its inevitable conclusion turns out to be a special case of what are currently known under the name of entropic priors.

description: We prove that almost all geodesics on a noncompact locally symmetric space of finite volume grow with a logarithmic speed -- the higher rank generalization of a theorem of D. Sullivan (1982). More generally, under certain conditions on a sequence of subsets $A_n$ of a homogeneous space $G/Γ$ ($G$ a semisimple Lie group, $Γ$ a non-uniform lattice) and a sequence of elements $f_n$ of $G$ we prove that for almost all points $x$ of the space, one has $f_n x\in A_n$ for infinitely many $n$. The main tool is exponential decay of correlation coefficients of smooth functions on $G/Γ$. Besides the aforementioned application to geodesic flows, as a corollary we obtain a new proof of the classical Khinchin-Groshev theorem in simultaneous Diophantine approximation, and settle a related conjecture recently made by M. Skriganov.

description: This study investigates the dynamics of poverty by examining the historical construction of poverty definitions and measures in the United States. In addition, the paper explores how the definitions work to influence the measurements through an analysis of past and contemporary research on poverty and impoverished groups. The study also investigates how the definitions and measurements affect decision making through maps as communication tools by considering the recent Los Angeles General Plan Elements. Subsequently, the research breaks down the design of maps to quantify the gaps in information by using both Monmonier’s and Tufte’s guidelines in graphic design and map making best practice. The paper further examines the toolkits that are available to planners to improve definitions, measurements, and maps of poverty. The study concludes by offering planning recommendations to advance best practices for studying and displaying information about poverty.

The artists I primarily focus on in the pages that follow—William Furlong, Stephen Willats, Mary Kelly, and Conrad Atkinson—all appeared on Audio Arts, a “spoken magazine” distributed on audiocassette that was founded by Furlong in 1973. During the 1970s, Furlong, Willats, Kelly and Atkinson renegotiated their relationship to art institutions, expanded the role of the artist in society, and conceived of art as a form of political praxis, and this dissertation explores the strategies these artists devised to connect to publics outside the elite, bourgeois audience of art.

description: From 1887 to 1906, rising in the place of what were once blocks of squalor, poverty and slum tenements, eight small parks thrilled the children their respective New York City neighborhoods. Created under the Small Parks Act of 1887, these parks were intended to bring better health, light and air to neighborhoods where the city’s poorest lived. Four of the parks (Mulberry Bend, Hudson, Hamilton Fish and William H. Seward Parks), were clustered below 14th Street, where many of the city’s newest and poorest immigrants settled in the mid to late 1800’s, but the other four (East River, John Jay, DeWitt Clinton and St. Gabriel’s Parks) were located next to the East and North (Hudson) Rivers, along Manhattan’s perimeters, where the island’s pollution was at its worst, rents were at their lowest, and the populations of the poor at their highest, after the area below 14th Street. Each of these parks, and the neighborhoods surrounding them, has a unique origin and history. Well-known landscape architects, architects and engineers designed their landscapes, pavilions, bathhouses and gymnasiums plans. Designs of these parks fell into one of three landscape ideals: Picturesque, Beaux Arts or the emerging Playground-Recreational design. As a group, they are an important representation of the national Small Parks Movement, as New York City was one of the first major cities to create small parks. They are especially important because of the notoriety of their designers. Eventually, all of these parks would become first, playground parks, and then, recreational parks, each retaining some element of their original design. All eight of these parks are still beloved and well used parks in Manhattan. This thesis documents the histories and designs of these parks, as well as any significant subsequent changes to the parks; it documents elements in the parks worthy of preservation, including any extant structures, landscape plans or fencing, or foliage.

description: The investigation of fluorescence lifetime became an important tool in biology and medical science. So far, established methods of fluorescence lifetime measurements require the illumination of the investigated probes with pulsed or amplitude-modulated light. In this paper, we examine the limitations of an innovative method of fluorescence lifetime using the strong time-frequency correlation of entangled photons generated by a continuous-wave source. For this purpose, we investigate the lifetime of IR-140 to demonstrate the functional principle and its dependencies on different experimental parameters. We also compare this technique with state-of-the-art FLIM and observed an improved figure-of-merit. Finally, we discuss the potential of a quantum advantage.

Shocks in relativistic viscous accretion flows around Kerr black holes

description: We study the relativistic viscous accretion flows around the Kerr black holes. We present the governing equations that describe the steady state flow motion in full general relativity and solve them in 1.5D to obtain the complete set of global transonic solutions in terms of the flow parameters, namely specific energy (${\cal E}$), specific angular momentum (${\cal L}$) and viscosity ($α$). We obtain a new type of accretion solution which was not reported earlier. Further, we show for the first time to the best of our knowledge that viscous accretion solutions may contain shock waves particularly when flow simultaneously passes through both inner critical point ($r_{\rm in}$) and outer critical point ($r_{\rm out}$) before entering into the Kerr black holes. We examine the shock properties, namely shock location ($r_s$) and compression ratio ($R$, the measure of density compression across the shock front) and show that shock can form for a large region of parameter space in ${\cal L}-{\cal E}$ plane. We study the effect of viscous dissipation on the shock parameter space and find that parameter space shrinks as $α$ is increased. We also calculate the critical viscosity parameter ($α^{\rm cri}$) beyond which standing shock solutions disappear and examine the correlation between the black hole spin ($a_k$) and $α^{\rm cri}$. Finally, the relevance of our work is conferred where, using $r_s$ and $R$, we empirically estimate the oscillation frequency of the shock front ($ν_{QPO}$) when it exhibits Quasi-periodic (QP) variations. The obtained results indicate that the present formalism seems to be potentially viable to account for the QPO frequency in the range starting from milli-Hz to kilo-Hz as $0.386~{\rm Hz}\le ν_{QPO} \left(\frac{10M_\odot}{M_{BH}} \right) \le 1312$ Hz for $a_k=0.99$, where $M_{BH}$ stands for the black hole mass.

Effective reclamation : understanding the ecology of recovery
Creators: name: Polster, D. F.
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Recovery processes are complex; understanding them can help make reclamation a success. Many of the things that have been done in the name of traditional reclamation have actually served to slow or even stop the recovery of the disturbed site. In other cases, failure to conduct simple treatments early in the process can lead to the collapse of the reclaimed ecosystem over the long term. Understanding the ecology of recovery can help prevent treatments that work against natural recovery processes. Similarly, understanding the processes involved in ecosystem recovery can allow treatments that enhance these processes. Simple abiotic (physical) treatments can be used to expedite the recovery of drastically disturbed sites. Planting designs that make use of native pioneering species can be used to re-establish successional trajectories that will lead to productive ecosystems that are in accord with the local ecosystems. This paper explores the ecology of recovery processes and the treatments that can be applied to drastically disturbed sites to assist in these processes.
Exact Occupation Time Distribution in a Non-Markovian Sequence and Its Relation to Spin Glass Models

description: We compute exactly the distribution of the occupation time in a discrete {\em non-Markovian} toy sequence which appears in various physical contexts such as the diffusion processes and Ising spin glass chains. The non-Markovian property makes the results nontrivial even for this toy sequence. The distribution is shown to have non-Gaussian tails characterized by a nontrivial large deviation function which is computed explicitly. An exact mapping of this sequence to an Ising spin glass chain via a gauge transformation raises an interesting new question for a generic finite sized spin glass model: at a given temperature, what is the distribution (over disorder) of the thermally averaged number of spins that are aligned to their local fields? We show that this distribution remains nontrivial even at infinite temperature and can be computed explicitly in few cases such as in the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick model with Gaussian disorder.

description: This dissertation examines two educational piety projects competing for control over popular conceptualizations of piety and what it means to be a good Muslim, as presented by Al Azhar 31 Islamic Primary School and Luqman al Hakim Integrated Islamic Primary School in Jogjakarta, Indonesia. Al Azhar 31 promotes an Indonesian Islam, pluralistic and inclusive of multi-tradition approaches to Islam that is flexible in regards to acceptable forms of worship. Luqman al Hakim SIT promotes a transnational Islam, inspired by the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood and linked to the Indonesian Islamic political party, Prosperous Justice Party (Partai Keadilan Sejatera, PKS). The school's purificationist approach pushes for the removal of local customs and traditions from mainstream Islam and promotes exacting observance of standardized practices. These two schools' disparate approaches to Islam are emblematic of the larger polarizing trends in approaching Islam in Indonesia today. This dissertation has particular significance for understanding the intersection of Islamic movements, Islamic education, and the religious middle class. Based on 15 months of ethnographic research, this dissertation demonstrates how schooling can be a tool for shaping socio-religious and political climates of a community and country. It adds to the growing literature on the educational spaces developing alongside Islamic piety movements throughout the Muslim world. Additionally, this dissertation provides a rare example of the influence on Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood ideologies on education, rather than politics. It also illustrates how the schools' disparate approaches to Islam shape distinct religious subjectivities within their students. The documentation of the innovation of the extended-day Islamic school model and integrated Islam ideology employed by both schools adds to the rich history of Indonesia's Islamic schooling traditions. Finally, this dissertation demonstrates how middle class parents' classed aspirations and anxieties regarding education, wealth, morality, and corruption coalesce to create ready consumers for a particular type of Islamic school: one that provides a longer school day, strong academics, and a robust religious curriculum focused on Islamic morals and values.

description: Information delivery via molecular signals is abundant in nature and potentially useful for industry sensing. Many propagation channels (e.g., tissue membranes and catalyst beds) contain porous medium materials and the impact this has on communication performance is not well understood. Here, communication through realistic porous channels is investigated for the first time via statistical breakthrough curves. Assuming that the number of arrived molecules can be approximated as a Gaussian random variable and using fully resolved computational fluid dynamics results for the breakthrough curves, the numerical results for the throughput, mutual information, error probability, and information diversity gain are presented. Using these numerical results, the unique characteristics of the porous medium channel are revealed.

description: Fluctuations of scalar fields produced at the stage of preheating after inflation are so large that they can break supersymmetry much stronger than inflation itself. These fluctuations may lead to symmetry restoration along flat directions of the effective potential even in the theories where the usual high temperature corrections are exponentially suppressed. Our results show that nonthermal phase transitions after preheating may play a crucial role in the generation of the primordial baryon asymmetry by the Affleck-Dine mechanism. In particular, the baryon asymmetry may be generated at the very early stage of the evolution of the Universe, at the preheating era, and not when the Hubble parameter becomes of order the gravitino mass.

description: Digital Twins have numerous potentials like performance analysis, condition monitoring or process optimization. As the development of Digital Twins is a highly interdisciplinary task, it poses challenges and is therefore rarely utilized. This contribution considers the interdisciplinary development of Digital Twins as an interplay between sensors, models and IT infrastructure. It builds on previous publications that deal with the domains of models, sensors and IT infrastructures in the context of Digital Twins as well as domain-specific development procedures. For this purpose, the V‑model of VDI 2206 is used and modified for the context of the Digital Twin. In order to integrate the findings of the preliminary work into the V‑model at a more concrete level, they are sorted into an RFLP framework, which in turn is integrated into the V‑model. The resulting development approach covers the entire development process at a transferable, abstract level, while at the same time providing concrete steps at a directly applicable level. The results are illustrated using an exemplary application of an industrial gearbox.

Fort McKay First Nation’s involvement in reclamation of Alberta’s oil sands development

description: Fort McKay is a Cree, Dene and Métis community situated in the epicentre of Alberta’s oil sands developments and the people of Fort McKay believe that this development is limiting their ability to carry out cultural activities within their Traditional Lands and that this has significant adverse effects on the maintenance of their cultural heritage. The Community has existed on their Traditional Lands for generations and places great value on the land and all that the land supports. Fort McKay has major concerns associated with both the “loss of land” and the condition of this land following mine closure and reclamation. The existing approved and proposed mine developments will ultimately occupy hundreds of thousand hectares of land and will not be fully reclaimed until the latter half of this century, with the likelihood that a further 10 to 20 years will be needed before the land can be certified as reclaimed. This means that the land occupied by these mines will be alienated from two to three generations of Fort McKay people. Fort McKay and the group of specialist consultants employed to work on behalf of the Community have worked closely with the Alberta government and oil sands developers to express the Community’s concerns and to push both industry and government to work towards meeting the immediate and long term objectives. Although Fort McKay cannot take credit for the recent improvements in mine closure regulation and performance, Fort McKay has certainly had a strong voice which has helped lead to a number of changes in approval conditions. Changes which we have seen over recent years include improved regulations for salvage and replacement of topsoil, recent changes to the management of fluid fine tailings and the requirement to initiate large scale trials of techniques to reclaim land to peat accumulating wetlands (fens and bogs). In the future, Fort McKay will continue to strive for faster reclamation that will restore the land to premining conditions, will seek the complete elimination of fluid fine tailings especially those which will be stored under a water cap in an end pit lake, will seek to ensure that acceptable water quality will be achieved within a reasonable timeframe following closure and will seek to ensure that the reclaimed landscape will support the full range of traditional uses including medicinal plants, berries, hunting, fishing and trapping.
Escape, bound and capture geodesics in local static coordinates in Schwarzschild spacetime

description: The classical geodesics of timelike particles in Schwarzschild spacetime is analyzed according to the particle starting radius $r$, velocity $v$ and angle $α$ against the radial outward direction in the reference system of an local static observer. The region of escape, bound and capture orbits in the parameter space of $(r,~v,~α)$ are solved using the three cases of the effective potential. It is found that generally for radius smaller than $4M$ or velocity larger than $c/\sqrt{2}$ there will be no bound orbits. While for fixed radius larger than $4M$ (or velocity smaller than $c/\sqrt{2}$), as velocity (or radius) increase from zero (or $2M$), the particle is always captured until a critical value $v_{\mathrm{crit1}}$ (or $r_{\mathrm{crit1}}$) when the bound orbit start to appear around $α=π/2$ between a double-napped cone structure. As the velocity (or radius) increases to another critical value $v_{\mathrm{crit2}}$ (or $r_{\mathrm{crit2}}$) then the bound directions and escape directions in the outward cone become escape directions, leaving only the inward cone separating the capture and bound directions. The angle of this cone will increase to its asymptotic value as velocity (or radius) increases to its asymptotic value. The implication of these results in shadow of black holes formed by massive particles, in black hole accretion and in spacecraft navigation is briefly discussed.

The Fluctuation Theorem as a Gibbs Property

description: Common ground to recent studies exploiting relations between dynamical systems and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics is, so we argue, the standard Gibbs formalism applied on the level of space-time histories. The assumptions (chaoticity principle) underlying the Gallavotti-Cohen fluctuation theorem make it possible, using symbolic dynamics, to employ the theory of one-dimensional lattice spin systems. The Kurchan and Lebowitz-Spohn analysis of this fluctuation theorem for stochastic dynamics can be restated on the level of the space-time measure which is a Gibbs measure for an interaction determined by the transition probabilities. In this note we understand the fluctuation theorem as a Gibbs property as it follows from the very definition of Gibbs state. We give a local version of the fluctuation theorem in the Gibbsian context and we derive from this a version also for some class of spatially extended stochastic dynamics.
Stochastic thermodynamics with odd controlling parameters

description: Stochastic thermodynamics extends the notions and relations of classical thermodynamics to small systems that experience strong fluctuations. The definitions of work and heat and the microscopically reversible condition are two key concepts in the current framework of stochastic thermodynamics. Herein, we apply stochastic thermodynamics to small systems with odd controlling parameters and find that the definition of heat and the microscopically reversible condition are incompatible. Such a contradiction also leads to a revision to the fluctuation theorems and nonequilibrium work relations. By introducing adjoint dynamics, we find that the total entropy production can be separated into three parts, with two of them satisfying the integral fluctuation theorem. Revising the definitions of work and heat and the microscopically reversible condition allows us to derive two sets of modified nonequilibrium work relations, including the Jarzynski equality, the detailed Crooks work relation, and the integral Crooks work relation. We consider the strategy of shortcuts to isothermality as an example and give a more sophisticated explanation for the Jarzynski-like equality derived from shortcuts to isothermality.
