description: We calculate the two-point correlation function using the interpolating current with $J^{PC}=2^{-}$. After performing the Borel sum rule analysis, the extracted masses of the $2^{--}$ tensor charmonium and bottomonium are $3.97\pm0.25$ GeV and $10.13\pm0.34$ GeV respectively. For comparison, we also perform the moment sum rule analysis for the charmonium and bottomonium systems. We extend the same analysis to study the $\bar qq, \bar qs, \bar ss, \bar qc, \bar sc, \bar qb, \bar sb$ and $\bar cb$ systems. Their masses are $1.78\pm 0.12, 1.85\pm 0.14, 2.00\pm 0.16, 2.86\pm 0.14, 3.01\pm 0.21, 5.66\pm0.33, 6.40\pm 0.25$, and $7.08\pm 0.34$ GeV respectively.

description: Objectives: This study investigated the link between gambling behaviors and the use of alcohol, drugs, and nonprescribed prescription medications, while exploring the moderating role of distinct religious faiths. Methods:: In 2010, 570 students from the American University of Beirut completed a self-reported, anonymous English questionnaire, which included lifetime gambling and past-year substance use measures. Results: Half (55%) were lifetime gamblers, of whom, 12% were probable pathological gamblers. About 60% were strategic gamblers. Lifetime gamblers were more than twice as likely as nongamblers to report past-year illegal drug use and alcohol abuse. Probable pathological gamblers were also more than four times as likely as nongamblers to report nonmedical prescription drug use, illegal drug use, and alcohol abuse. Compared to nonstrategic gamblers, strategic gamblers had more than three times the odds of illegal drug and cigarette use. The link between alcohol abuse and gambling was stronger among Christians than Muslims. Conversely, Muslims were more likely to report the co-occurrence of various gambling behaviors (lifetime, probable pathological, and strategic gambling) with both illegal drug use and cigarette use. Conclusions: Gambling and substance use behaviors were strongly linked in this sample of youth from Lebanon, corroborating the evidence from North America. Particularly novel are the co-occurrence of pathological gambling and nonmedical prescription drug use and the potential differential role of religion.

description: This study analyzed the National Epidemiological Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions data, 2001–2002, to compare the prevalence and odds of DSM-IV mood, anxiety, and substance use disorders and mental health service use across Asian American subethnic groups (648 East Asians, 485 Southeast Asians, 298 South Asians). Asian American subethnic groups varied in lifetime prevalence of psychiatric disorders (p = 0.004), mainly due to differences in the presence of any substance use disorder (p = 0.06), and specifically, drug use disorders (p = 0.02). While Southeast Asians had the highest prevalence of substance use disorders (16.7 %), fewer Southeast Asians with substance use disorders used mental health services (11.1 %) compared to South Asians with substance use disorders (24.2 %). East Asians compared to South Asians had significantly lower odds of mental health service use for substance use disorders (confidence interval = 0.08–0.84). Asian American subethnic groups vary in the prevalence of mental disorders and in mental health service use, especially for substance use disorders.

description: While the courts have codified and reaffirmed the right to abortion, some state legislatures have enacted increasingly burdensome restrictions on abortion. In a number of states, there is only one abortion clinic available for thousands of people. This Note explores whether Native American tribes, as sovereigns, may establish holistic reproductive health clinics on tribal land. It analyzes abortion law in Wisconsin under the framework of Public Law 280 jurisprudence to determine that clinics in Indian Country would not be subject to state abortion regulations. This Note also explores the practical implications of a Native-owned-and-operated clinic, and concludes that these clinics would greatly increase access to safe reproductive health care for Native and non-Native people.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.New England groundfish are harvested in mixed-stock fisheries and are managed under a single Fishery Management Plan. In this study, a mixed-stock projection model is used to evaluate management actions regarding fishing effort through yield, spawning stock biomass and economic yield for seven New England groundfish stocks. This model provides long-term and short-term evaluations for the components in a mixed fishery as well as the assemblage. The approach incorporates the dynamic aspects of singlespecies projections with technological interactions for mixed-stock evaluations. The computational approach updated a traditional static, mixed-species yield per recruit model with more recent data from large-mesh fisheries and extended the model to include spawner-recruit relationships and estimate spawning stock biomass and producer surplus as a proxy for profit. Performances of equilibrium and nonequilibrium expectations were evaluated. Given the sensitivity of short term projections to transient conditions and retrospective consistency of stock assessments, long term expectations of mixed-stock maximum sustainable yield, maximum economic yield and optimal levels of fishing effort may be the most relevant application of mixed-stock projections of New England groundfish. The equilibrium analysis provides single-stock estimates of fishing effort reference points for the assemblage that are consistent with recent evaluations of the management plan

description: We report the first observations of metal distributions in the intracluster medium of the Centaurus cluster up to ~0.17 r_180 with Suzaku. Radial profiles of the O, Mg, Si, S, Ar, Ca, and Fe were determined at the outer region of the cluster, and their variations appear to be similar to each other. Within the cool core region (r<0.045 r_ 180), all the metal distributions sharply increased toward the center. In the central region (r<0.015 r_180), the abundances of Si, S, Ar, Ca, and Fe were 1.5--1.8 solar, while those of O and Mg were approximately 1 solar. The derived abundance ratios of O and Mg to Fe were slightly lower than those of a set of other clusters. In contrast, the calculated mass-to-light ratios (MLRs) for O, Mg, and Fe were larger than those of the other clusters. For the outer region of the cool core (r>0.07 r_180), all the abundances were almost constant at 0.5 solar. The derived MLRs were comparable to those of the other clusters. This suggests that the cD galaxy of the Centaurus cluster efficiently supplies more Fe than the other clusters.

Embedding Content or Interring Copyright: Does the Internet Need the “Server Rule”?

description: The “server rule” holds that online displays or performances of copyrighted content accomplished through “in-line” or “framing” hyperlinks do not trigger the exclusive rights of public display or performance unless the linker also possesses a copy of the underlying work. As a result, the rule shields a vast array of online activities from claims of direct copyright infringement, effectively exempting those activities from the reach of the Copyright Act. While the server rule has enjoyed relatively consistent adherence since its adoption in 2007, some courts have recently suggested a departure from that precedent, noting the doctrinal and statutory inconsistencies underlying it. Authors and copyright owners have long lamented that the server rule’s immunization of certain online activities eviscerates their ability to control how their works are disseminated on the Internet. But many Internet users and commercial actors have incorporated the rule’s liability shield into their expectations about how the Internet does (and should) function. Accordingly, while authors and copyright owners foresee improved prospects for remuneration, many commentators and advocacy groups have expressed concerns regarding the recent judicial doubt about the validity of the server rule. They contend that, without the server rule, the Internet would cease to function as it does today. However, these concerns overlook the applicable defenses—in particular, the defenses of safe harbor under § 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and express license—which, we expect, would take on a more significant role in a post- server rule world. In this Article, we explore the likely effect of the potential reversal of the server rule, taking into account these defenses. We conclude that the principal difference between copyright law with and without the server rule comes down to the author’s ability to obtain the removal of links to infringing content, and to authorize embedding of content from a source to which the public had lawful access. Moreover, while the reversal of the server rule may interrupt a handful of online services that rely entirely on the unauthorized appropriation of copyrighted works, most online practices would likely continue unaltered in the post-server rule world.

description: Considerable attention has been given to the roles of the carbon and phosphate cycles in aquatic environments, but less attention has been given to an experimental analysis of the coupling of the C and P cycles in freshwater and marine ecosystems. Using laboratory microcosm experiments, prepared with natural pond-water microbial communities, evidence is presented for the coupling of dissolved organic C with microbial production of alkaline phosphatase driving the phosphorus cycle in freshwater microbial communities. The effects of glucose C-supplementation in microcosm microbial communities (including bacteria and heterotrophic nanoflagellates) on gains in microbial C-content and alkaline phosphatase activity (APA) were estimated in relation to control microcosms without C-supplementation. The C-supplementation increased total microbial APA (pmol min−1 μg−1 bacterial C) in the C-supplemented treatment (6.5 ± 0.6) compared to the non-supplemented cultures (5.1 ± 1.7). Microbial-bound APA in the C-supplemented treatment was particularly enhanced (4.4 ± 0.9) compared to control cultures (1.3 ± 0.8), but the amount of free (soluble) APA in the aquatic phase was less compared to the controls (n = 5, p < 0.001). Alkaline phosphatase activity was highly correlated (r = 0.97) with bacterial densities in the C-supplemented cultures, further supporting the hypothesis that C-supplementation can increase phosphorus remineralization through elevated production of microbial alkaline phosphatase. This laboratory-based, experimental study suggests that additional research on the coupling of the C and P cycles in freshwater and marine environments may yield productive insights into the finer details of the roles of these two biogeochemical cycles in aquatic microbial community dynamics.

description: We study the long time coherence dynamics of a two-mode Bose-Hubbard model in the Josephson interaction regime, as a function of the relative phase and occupation imbalance of an arbitrary coherent preparation. We find that the variance of the long time fluctuations of the one-body coherence can be factorized as a product of the inverse participation number 1/M that depends only on the preparation, and a semi-classical function C(E) that reflects the phase space characteristics of the pertinent observable. Temporal fluctuations can thus be used as a sensitive probe for phase space tomography of quantum many-body states.

Forest conservation in Argentina : early analysis of the Forest Law implementation in the Chaco Ecoregion
Creators: name: Romero, Jennifer Estefania
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Argentina is a federal republic, where livestock and agriculture have shown spectacular development due to commodity-oriented policies and land-use change, resulting in a consequent loss of native forests. In this context, in 2007, the Argentinean government enacted National Law 26.331 of Minimum Standards for the Environmental Protection of Native Forests (Forest Law) whose objectives are, among others, to promote the conservation of native forests through land-use planning. This process has been developed in different ways in the provinces of the country. This research is focused on the Provinces of Salta, Santiago del Estero and Córdoba in northern Argentina - Chaco Ecoregion. These provinces have shown high deforestation rates and some conflicts with the Forest Law’s administration. The analysis focuses on the Forest Law implementation, and is undertaken considering the extent to which objectives have been met so far, and the main forces, factors or drivers affecting the Law’s implementation in the three provinces. The evaluation of the Law is focused on its outputs (budget and deforestation rates). Impacts on forest conservation, local economy or social benefits (outcomes) are not analyzed since it is too early to evaluate them. This research is based on secondary data analysis, available public data from governmental and non-governmental institutions, unpublished data requested of institution representatives, and through the analysis of unpublished valuable information gathered in the course of interviews conducted by myself, for a non-academic study. The results show that local implementation of the Forest Law is highly affected by external forces. Despite the fact that some provinces have followed the guidelines provided by the regulation, the Forest Law has not been effective so far, since high deforestation rates still occur. However, many forest conservation projects have benefited from the law, which could have long-term visible effects. The problems related to its effective implementation are not related to the Forest Law itself, but to the inconsistency of the Provincial Forest Laws with the national regulation, the degree in which the Provincial Forest Laws reflect the participatory process that originated them, and with their control and monitoring.

description: Background: Pathological gambling (PG) is a heterogeneous disorder. The identification and characterization of PG subtypes could lead to tailored treatment approaches, which may, in turn, improve treatment outcomes. Objective: To investigate PG subtypes based on personality traits across two different cultural and clinical settings. Consistent with the Pathways Model, we hypothesized the presence of three subtypes (behaviorally conditioned — BC, emotionally vulnerable — EV, and antisocial impulsivist — AI). Methods: 140 PG adults from São Paulo, Brazil (SP sample) and 352 adults with PG (n = 214) or sub-clinical PG (n = 138) from Toronto, Canada (TO sample) completed the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI). Latent-class analysis was used to investigate subtypes. Results: A 2-class solution was the best model for the pooled SP and TO samples. Class 1 presented a normative personality profile and was composed exclusively of participants from Toronto (BC subtype). Class 2 was characterized by high novelty seeking, high harm avoidance, and low self-directedness, and included participants from both SP and TO (EV subtype). When sub-clinical PGs were excluded from the analysis, a single-class solution better characterized the SP and TO samples. Conclusions: Our results suggest that PG severity, rather than community or clinical settings, may have an effect on PG subtypes. The generalizability of the results is limited by the demographic and clinical features of the selected samples. Future neurobiological studies may contribute to the categorization of subjects into PG subtypes based on different underlying biological pathways.
Quebec’s Bill 62: Legislating Difference

description: On October 18, 2017, Bill 62, whose full English title is “An Act to foster adherence to state religious neutrality and, in particular, to provide a framework for religious accommodation requests in certain bodies,” came into force in the Canadian province of Quebec. In effect, Bill 62 prohibits niqab-wearing women from giving or receiving public services. It reflects anxiety about religious minorities’ illiberal practices and discomfort with the accommodation of religious difference—the “hypervisibility” of Islamic differences in particular. Bill 62 constructs the multiculturalism and reasonable accommodation debates in a way that erases race and replaces it with culture and religion. In turn, the politics of reasonable accommodation in Quebec conceptualize racialized minorities as threats to Canadian and Quebecois national identity and casts them aside as illegitimate citizens unless they assimilate. State multiculturalism and the reasonable accommodation discourse reinforce the racial status quo by setting the terms of the debate and the limits of tolerance—the “epistemic conditions” that dissuade a close scrutiny of the state’s management of diversity. This Article offers a close analysis of Bill 62 by following a framework that is built on four pillars: (1) interrogating secularism and state neutrality; (2) foregrounding structural difference to achieve systemic equality; (3) theorizing reasonable accommodation; and (4) combatting persisting colonial and Orientalist tropes of racialized Muslim women.

Bounds on area and charge for marginally trapped surfaces with cosmological constant

description: We sharpen the known inequalities $A Λ\le 4π(1-g)$ and $A\ge 4πQ^2$ between the area $A$ and the electric charge $Q$ of a stable marginally outer trapped surface (MOTS) of genus g in the presence of a cosmological constant $Λ$. In particular, instead of requiring stability we include the principal eigenvalue $λ$ of the stability operator. For $Λ^{*} = Λ+ λ> 0$ we obtain a lower and an upper bound for $ Λ^{*} A$ in terms of $ Λ^{*} Q^2$ as well as the upper bound $ Q \le 1/(2\sqrt{Λ^{*}})$ for the charge, which reduces to $ Q \le 1/(2\sqrtΛ)$ in the stable case $λ\ge 0$. For $Λ^{*} < 0$ there remains only a lower bound on $A$. In the spherically symmetric, static, stable case one of the area inequalities is saturated iff the surface gravity vanishes. We also discuss implications of our inequalities for "jumps" and mergers of charged MOTS.

description: The mid-Pacific trough (MPT), occurring in the upper troposphere during boreal summer, acts as an atmospheric bridge connecting the climate variations over Asia, the Pacific, and North America. The first (second) mode of empirical orthogonal function analysis of the MPT, which accounts for 20.3 (13.4) percent of the total variance, reflects a change in its intensity on the southwestern (northeastern) portion of the trough. Both modes are significantly correlated with the variability of tropical Pacific sea surface temperature (SST). Moreover, the first mode is affected by Atlantic SST via planetary waves that originate from the North Atlantic and propagate eastward across the Eurasian continent, and the second mode is influenced by the Arctic sea ice near the Bering Strait by triggering an equatorward wave train over the Northeast Pacific. A stronger MPT shown in the first mode is significantly linked to drier and warmer conditions in the Yangtze Basin, southern Japan, and northern U.S. and a wetter condition in South Asia and northern China, while a stronger MPT shown in the second mode is associated with drier and warmer southwestern U.S. In addition, an intensified MPT (no matter in the southwestern or the northeastern portion) corresponds to more tropical cyclones (TCs) over the western North Pacific (WNP) and less TCs over the eastern Pacific (EP) in summer, which is associated with MPT-induced ascending and descending motions over the WNP and the EP, respectively.

We determine an upper limit on the mixing of the eta_c ground state with light pseudoscalar flavour-singlet mesons and investigate the mixing of charmonia near open charm thresholds with pairs of (excited) D and anti-D mesons. For charm and light valence quarks and nF=2 sea quarks, we employ the non-perturbatively improved Sheikholeslami-Wohlert (clover) action. Excited states are accessed using the variational technique, starting from a basis of suitably optimised operators. For some aspects of this study, the use of improved stochastic all-to-all propagators was essential.

For the rankings by region damaged most of the injuries will be occupied CCT (cranial cerebral Trauma) followed by LMT (locomotor trauma) and AT (abdominal trauma) ranks third for the frequency of trauma injuries in children. AT can be a significant relation with the morbidity and mortality has a degree higher than 8.5%. In this article, you will be trying to explain the clinic, evolution, and treatment of AT in children. Children are more susceptible than adults to blunt abdominal injury which is explained very well by the lack of well-developed muscular mass of tissue adipose lack etc... The goal is to enable the recognition and description of the mechanisms that cause BAT, identification, and description of the types of BAT, discussing and making clearer indications for conservative or surgical treatment of BAT in children, identifying the signs and symptoms of AI (abdominal injury). Material and methods; The study had the Retrospective character and includes all patients with TMP presented in the urgency of polytrauma in NTC in Tirana, other variables including the ones that have to do with age, sex, cause of injury, the examinations made, and time the performance of the treatment tactics. The level of gravity of the injuries the Injury Severity Score (ISS) were used as a measure for measuring gravity in cases of serious injury with BAT were identified with ISS> 15. Discussion; In 25% of cases with polytrauma in pediatric age have abdominal injuries, as the main cause is found MVA, A motorcycle, and bike and it always comes from the height, stating that it is because of neglect as pedestrians, also from ignorance of the rules the traffic of children, which requires learning the extent of these rules in pre-school, etc. Mortality is calculated depending on the organ BAT damaged it is less than 20% when we have a damaged Solitary body like liver, spleen, Kidney, or pancreatic trauma, it goes over 20% if … Conclusions;  BAT remains a serious threat to the health and progress of children. Their treatment should be carried out not only in the national centers but in every regional center or even in smaller hospitals that were rigorous enough to apply to all protocols for trauma in general and in particular PAT. Management of abdominal injury suffered a significant evolution in recent years. The BAT conservative treatment in children is successful in more than 90% of cases, although this depends on a number of factors and conditions that are in compliance with …

description: If there are multiple hidden sectors which independently break supersymmetry, then the spectrum will contain multiple goldstini. In this paper, we explore the possibility that the visible sector might also break supersymmetry, giving rise to an additional pseudo-goldstino. By the standard lore, visible sector supersymmetry breaking is phenomenologically excluded by the supertrace sum rule, but this sum rule is relaxed with multiple supersymmetry breaking. However, we find that visible sector supersymmetry breaking is still phenomenologically disfavored, not because of a sum rule, but because the visible sector pseudo-goldstino is generically overproduced in the early universe. A way to avoid this cosmological bound is to ensure that an R symmetry is preserved in the visible sector up to supergravity effects. A key expectation of this R-symmetric case is that the Higgs boson will dominantly decay invisibly at the LHC.

description: Background and Objectives: The relationship between substance use and cognitive deficits is complex and requires innovative methods to enhance understanding. The present study is the first to use LCA to examine associations of drug use patterns with cognitive performance. Methods: Cocaine/heroin users (N = 552) completed questionnaires, and cognitive measures. LCA identified classes based on past-month drug use and adjusted for probabilities of group membership when examining cognitive performance. Latent indicators were: alcohol (ALC), cigarettes (CIG), marijuana (MJ), crack smoking (CS), nasal heroin (NH), injection cocaine (IC), injection heroin (IH), and injection speedball (IS). Age and education were included as covariates in model creation. Results: Bootstrap likelihood ratio test (BLRT) supported a 5-class model. Prevalent indicators (estimated probability of over 50%) for each class are as follows: “Older Nasal Heroin/Crack Smokers” (ONH/CS, n = 166.9): ALC, CIG, NH, CS; “Older, Less Educated Polysubstance” (OLEP, n = 54.8): ALC, CIG, CS, IH, IC, and IS; “Younger Multi-Injectors” (MI, n = 128.7): ALC, CIG, MJ, IH, IC, and IS; “Less Educated Heroin Injectors” (LEHI, n = 87.4): CIG, IH; and “More Educated Nasal Heroin” users (MENH, n = ALC, CIG, NH. In general, all classes performed worse than established norms and older, less educated classes performed worse, with the exception that MENH demonstrated worse cognitive flexibility than YMI. Discussion and Conclusions: This study demonstrated novel applications of a methodology for examining complicated relationships between polysubstance use and cognitive performance. Scientific Significance: Education and/or nasal heroin use are associated with reduced cognitive flexibility in this sample of inner city drug users.

description: This post entails the code and few-shot benchmarks Omniglot and Mini-Imagenet, addressed for our submitted to the ICLR 2022 paper "Stochastic Deep Networks with Linear competing units for Model-Agnostic Meta-Learning". We provide also the main paper as well as the supplementary material. Abstract: This work addresses meta-learning (ML) by considering deep networks with stochastic local winner-takes-all (LWTA) activations. This type of network units result in sparse representations from each model layer, as the units are organized into blocks where only one unit generates a non-zero output. The main operating principle of the introduced units lies on stochastic arguments, as the network performs posterior sampling over competing units to select the winner. Therefore, the proposed networks are explicitly designed to extract input data representations of sparse stochastic nature, as opposed to the currently standard deterministic representation paradigm. We posit that these modeling arguments, inspired from Bayesian statistics, allow for more robust modeling when uncertainty is high due to the limited availability of task-related training data; this is exactly the case with ML, which is the focus of this work. At training time, we rely on the reparameterization trick for Discrete distributions to perform reliable training via Monte Carlo sampling. At inference time, we rely on Bayesian Model Averaging, which effectively averages over a number of sampled representations. As we experimentally show, our approach produces state-of-the-art predictive accuracy on standard few-shot image classification benchmarks; this is achieved without compromising computational efficiency.

Three-point function of semiclassical states at weak coupling

description: We give the derivation of the previously announced analytic expression for the correlation function of three heavy non-BPS operators in N=4 super-Yang-Mills theory at weak coupling. The three operators belong to three different su(2) sectors and are dual to three classical strings moving on the sphere. Our computation is based on the reformulation of the problem in terms of the Bethe Ansatz for periodic XXX spin-1/2 chains. In these terms the three operators are described by long-wave-length excitations over the ferromagnetic vacuum, for which the number of the overturned spins is a finite fraction of the length of the chain, and the classical limit is known as the Sutherland limit. Technically our main result is a factorized operator expression for the scalar product of two Bethe states. The derivation is based on a fermionic representation of Slavnov's determinant formula, and a subsequent bosonisation.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The expanding mandate of fisheries management keeps introducing ever more complex objectives. Purely quantitative optimization approaches become intractable and unwieldy for stakeholder processes characterized by highly diverse participants with competing ecological and socio-economic objectives. A practical approach for this setting is to: (1) Develop a hierarchy of goals, each expressed as a performance measure, benchmark, and risk tolerance. (2) Apply resulting constraints in sequence, rather than simultaneously. This is a collaborative equivalent of hierarchical goal programming
Water distribution system failures : an integrated framework for prognostic and diagnostic analyses
Creators: name: Islam, Mohammad Shafiqul
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The main goal of this research is to develop an integrated decision support system framework for prognostic and diagnostic analyses of water distribution system (WDS) failures. The interventions based on the prognostic analysis will reduce the likelihood of failures, and in case of a failure, will minimize the consequences of the failures. The framework consists of five novel models. For prognostic analysis, the first model evaluates the reliability of WDS in terms of utility and belief of the estimated utility. This model provides a measure of degree of uncertainties in reliability estimation and helps to plan and design a reliable WDS. Based on various influencing factors, the leakage potential model evaluates potential for leakage under varying operating conditions. Based on identified symptoms of failure such as taste and odor, and the causes of failure such as free residual chlorine, the water quality failure potential model evaluates the potential for water quality failure (WQF). For diagnostic investigation, the leakage location and detection model, the fourth model, identifies the presence of an actual leakage, if any, and the most probable leakage location in WDS. The WQF detection model, the fifth model, identifies the most vulnerable location in the WDS and in case of failure, identifies the most probable reason and most probable source of water quality failure. Finally, based on the developed models and other external information, an integrated prognostic and diagnostic decision support system framework has been developed. The prognostic capabilities of the framework provide states of the WDS and evaluate failure potentials of the system. The diagnostic capabilities of the framework help to reduce false positive and false negative predictions, and identify the failure location with minimal time after the occurrence which minimizes the consequences of failure. The framework has ‘unique’ capacity to bring the modelling information (hydraulic and Quality), consumer complaints and laboratory test information under a single platform. The outcomes of this research widely addressed the uncertainties associated with WDS which improves the efficiency and effectiveness of diagnosis and prognosis analyses of WDS failures. The research also provides new insights on how to incorporate fuzzy set in the assessment of WDS failures. It is expected that the developed integrated framework will help municipalities to make informed decisions to increase the safely and the security of public health.
Inertial-range behaviour of a passive scalar field in a random shear flow

description: Infrared asymptotic behaviour of a scalar field, passively advected by a random shear flow, is studied by means of the field theoretic renormalization group and the operator product expansion. The advecting velocity is Gaussian, white in time, with correlation function of the form $\propto δ(t-t') / k_{\bot}^{d-1+ξ}$, where $k_{\bot}=|{\bf k}_{\bot}|$ and ${\bf k}_{\bot}$ is the component of the wave vector, perpendicular to the distinguished direction (`direction of the flow') --- the $d$-dimensional generalization of the ensemble introduced by Avellaneda and Majda [{\it Commun. Math. Phys.} {\bf 131}: 381 (1990)]. The structure functions of the scalar field in the infrared range exhibit scaling behaviour with exactly known critical dimensions. It is strongly anisotropic in the sense that the dimensions related to the directions parallel and perpendicular to the flow are essentially different. In contrast to the isotropic Kraichnan's rapid-change model, the structure functions show no anomalous (multi)scaling and have finite limits when the integral turbulence scale tends to infinity. On the contrary, the dependence of the internal scale (or diffusivity coefficient) persists in the infrared range. Generalization to the velocity field with a finite correlation time is also obtained. Depending on the relation between the exponents in the energy spectrum ${\cal E} \propto k_{\bot}^{1-ε}$ and in the dispersion law $ω\propto k_{\bot}^{2-η}$, the infrared behaviour of the model is given by the limits of vanishing or infinite correlation time, with the crossover at the ray $η=0$, $ε>0$ in the $ε$--$η$ plane. The physical (Kolmogorov) point $ε=8/3$, $η=4/3$ lies inside the domain of stability of the rapid-change regime; there is no crossover line going through this point.

description: We investigate plasmonic modulators with a gain material to be implemented as ultra-compact and ultra-fast active nanodevices in photonic integrated circuits. We analyze metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) waveguides with InGaAsP-based active material layers as ultra-compact plasmonic modulators. The modulation is achieved by changing the gain of the core that results in different transmittance through the waveguides. A MSM waveguide enables high field localization and therefore high modulation speed. Bulk semiconductor, quantum wells and quantum dots, arranged in either horizontal or vertical layout, are considered as the core of the MSM waveguide. Dependences on the waveguide core size and gain values of various active materials are studied. The designs consider also practical aspects like n- and p-doped layers and barriers in order to obtain results as close to reality. The effective propagation constants in the MSM waveguides are calculated numerically. Their changes in the switching process are considered as a figure of merit. We show that a MSM waveguide with electrical current control of the gain incorporates compactness and deep modulation along with a reasonable level of transmittance.
