description: We calculate the spin dependent structure functions g_{1}(x) and g_{2}(x) of the proton and neutron. Our calculation uses the meson cloud model of nucleon structure, which has previously given a good description of the HERMES data on polarized sea quark distributions, and includes all the leading contributions to spin dependent effects in this model. We find good agreement between our calculations and the current experimental data for the structure functions. We include in our calculations kinematic terms, which mix transverse and longitudinal spin components, for hadrons of spin 1/2, 1 and 3/2, and which can give considerable contributions to the g_{2} structure functions. We also consider the possible interference terms between baryons or mesons in different final states with the same quantum numbers, and show that most of these terms do not give leading contributions to the spin dependent structure functions.

description: We analyse a novel mathematical model of malignant invasion which takes the form of a two-phase moving boundary problem describing the invasion of a population of malignant cells into a population of background tissue, such as skin. Cells in both populations undergo diffusive migration and logistic proliferation. The interface between the two populations moves according to a two-phase Stefan condition. Unlike many reaction-diffusion models of malignant invasion, the moving boundary model explicitly describes the motion of the sharp front between the cancer and surrounding tissues without needing to introduce degenerate nonlinear diffusion. Numerical simulations suggest the model gives rise to very interesting travelling wave solutions that move with speed $c$, and the model supports both malignant invasion and malignant retreat, where the travelling wave can move in either the positive or negative $x$-directions. Unlike the well-studied Fisher-Kolmogorov and Porous-Fisher models where travelling waves move with a minimum wave speed $c \ge c^* > 0$, the moving boundary model leads to travelling wave solutions with $|c| < c^{**}$. We interpret these travelling wave solutions in the phase plane and show that they are associated with several features of the classical Fisher-Kolmogorov phase plane that are often disregarded as being nonphysical. We show, numerically, that the phase plane analysis compares well with long time solutions from the full partial differential equation model as well as providing accurate perturbation approximations for the shape of the travelling waves.

Spin and Eccentricity Evolution in Triple Systems: from the Lidov-Kozai Interaction to the Final Merger of the Inner Binary

description: We study the spin and eccentricity evolution of black-hole (BH) binaries that are perturbed by tertiary masses and experience the Lidov-Kozai (LK) excitation. We focus on three aspects. Firstly, we study the spin-orbit alignment of the inner binary following the approach outlined by Antonini et al. [MNRAS 480, L58 (2018)] and Liu and Lai [ApJ 863, 68 (2018)], yet allowing the spins to have random initial orientations. We confirm the existence of a dynamical attractor that drives the spin-orbit angle at the end of the LK evolution to a value given by the initial angle between the spin and the outer orbital angular momentum (instead of to a specific value of the effective spin). Secondly, we follow the (inner) binary's evolution further to the merger to study the final spin-spin alignment. We generalize the effective potential theory to include orbital eccentricity, which allows us to efficiently evolve the system in the early inspiral stages. We further find that the spin-spin and spin-orbit alignments are correlated and the correlation is determined by the initial spin-orbit angle. For systems with the spin vectors initially in the orbital plane, the final spins strongly disfavor an aligned configuration and could thus lead to a greater value of the GW recoil than a uniform spin-spin alignment would predict. Lastly, we study the maximum eccentricity excitation that can be achieved during the LK process, including the effects of gravitational-wave radiation. We find that when the tertiary mass is a super-massive BH and the inner binary is massive, then even with the maximum LK excitation, the residual eccentricity is typically less than 0.1 when the binary's orbital frequency reaches 10 Hz, and a decihertz detector would be necessary to follow such a system's orbital evolution.

description: We develop a formalism to characterize the redshift evolution of the dark energy potential. Our formalism makes use of quantities similar to the Horizon-flow parameters in inflation and is general enough that can deal with multiscalar quintessence scenarios, exotic matter components, and higher order curvature corrections to General Relativity. We show how the shape of the dark energy potential can be recovered non parametrically using this formalism and we present approximations analogous to the ones relevant to slow-roll inflation. Since presently available data do not allow a non-parametric and exact reconstruction of the potential, we consider a general parametric description. This reconstruction can also be used in other approaches followed in the literature (e.g., the reconstruction of the redshift evolution of the dark energy equation of state w(z)). Using observations of passively evolving galaxies and supernova data we derive constraints on the dark energy potential shape in the redshift range 0.1 < z < 1.8. Our findings show that at the 1sigma level the potential is consistent with being constant, although at the same level of confidence variations cannot be excluded with current data. We forecast constraints achievable with future data from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope.

description: The psychology of the individual is continuously changing in nature, which has a significant influence on the evolutionary dynamics of populations. To study the influence of the continuously changing psychology of individuals on the behavior of populations, in this paper, we consider the game transitions of individuals in evolutionary processes to capture the changing psychology of individuals in reality, where the game that individuals will play shifts as time progresses and is related to the transition rates between different games. Besides, the individual's reputation is taken into account and utilized to choose a suitable neighbor for the strategy updating of the individual. Within this model, we investigate the statistical number of individuals staying in different game states and the expected number fits well with our theoretical results. Furthermore, we explore the impact of transition rates between different game states, payoff parameters, the reputation mechanism, and different time scales of strategy updates on cooperative behavior, and our findings demonstrate that both the transition rates and reputation mechanism have a remarkable influence on the evolution of cooperation. Additionally, we examine the relationship between network size and cooperation frequency, providing valuable insights into the robustness of the model.

description: The buckling effects due to BN-bonds in BN-codoped silicene, BSi$_6$N, on structural stability, electronic band structure, and mechanical, thermal and optical properties are studied systematically by first-principle calculations within density functional theory. In the presence of BN-bonds, a high warping in BSi$_6$N indicating a high buckling effect is found due to the presence of a repulsive interaction between B and N atoms. It thus breaks the sublattice symmetry of silicene and opens up a bandgap. The high buckling of BSi$_6$N leads to a decrease in its stiffness and thus induces fractures at small values of applied strain. The finite bandgap caused by the BN-bonds leads to enhancement of the Seebeck coefficient and the figure of merit, and induces a redshift of a peak in the dielectric response. By increasing the distance between the B and N atoms i.e. for the BSi$_6$N without BN-bonds, a flatter BSi$_6$N is found compared to pristine silicene. The stiffness of the structure and the ultimate strain are increased. The breaking of the sublattice symmetry is very weak and a very small bandgap is revealed. As a result, the Seebeck coefficient and the figure of merit stay very small. A reduction in the optical response is seen due to an indirect bandgap.

description: We consider a chain of Josephson-junction rhombi (proposed originally by Doucot and Vidal) in quantum regime. In a regular chain with no disorder in the maximally frustrated case when magnetic flux through each rhombi Φ_r is equal to one half of superconductive flux quantum Φ_0, Josephson current is due to correlated transport of pairs of Cooper pairs, i.e. charge is quantized in units of $4e$. Sufficiently strong deviation δΦ=|Φ_r-Φ_0/2| > δΦ^c from the maximally frustrated point brings the system back to usual $2e$-quantized supercurrent. For a regular chain δΦ^c was calculated by us previously. Here we present detailed analysis of the effect of quenched disorder (random stray charges and random fluxes piercing rhombi) on the pairing effect.

description: This protocol covers the design, construction, deployment, and gas sampling procedures for the static (closed cover) stainless steel chambers used to measure soil greenhouse gas (GHG) fluxes at Michigan State University’s W.K. Kellogg Biological Station (KBS) in southwest Michigan. The sampling procedure is appropriate for soil nitrous oxide (N2O), methane (CH4), and carbon dioxide (CO2) fluxes. Detailed instructions on the design and construction of our cylindrical static chamber are covered in part one of this document; field deployment and gas sampling procedures are covered in part two. Many reviews and publications discuss sampling protocols and procedures for determining soil gas fluxes using various chamber designs and systems, and readers are encouraged to conduct their own review and research on these. The design described herein is compliant with those used by national and international networks[1],[2],[3]. We have successfully used this design (or a close variant) for several decades and share it with the notion that others might benefit from our experience and save some time and effort when deploying their own chambers. Modifications should be straightforward as needs dictate. [1] Holland, E. A., G. P. Robertson, J. Greenberg, P. M. Groffman, R. D. Boone, and J. R. Gosz. 1999. Soil CO2, N2O, and CH4 exchange.

Empirical modelling of windthrow risk and hazard mapping using Geographic Information Systems

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: There has been a history of wind damage (windthrow) in Weyerhaeuser's North Island Timberlands (NIT) north of Campbell River on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Identification of the location and type of stands most at risk is needed to target mitigative measures. This study investigated the relationship between windthrow damage along cutblock edges and stand, ecosystem, management, wind and topographic variables. Windthrow occurrence along cutblock boundaries was mapped using aerial photographs. Using ArcView Geographic Information System (GIS), a total of 22,304 forested segments were obtained and used to study the relationship between cutblock edge windthrow and other stand level variables within NIT. Damage declined from 13% of segments within the first 25m of cutblock boundaries to 1 % of segments in the band between 50 and 75m from the cutblock boundary. Western redcedar (Thuja plicata Donn) dominated stands suffered the least loss from windthrow compared to those dominated by other species. The proportion of segments damaged increased with topographic exposure, mean annual windspeeds, boundary exposure to the south, soil fertility, block size and stocking. Logistic regression models were fit using stand, site, ecosystem, wind and management variables to predict probability of damage. The best-fit models had a predictive accuracy of 68-72%. One of these models was selected to produce a windthrow hazard map for the NIT. A comparison between the resultant model and one developed in an earlier study 75 km to the north revealed that empirical models are reasonably portable within this area of Vancouver Island.

description: The advancements in stellar spectroscopy data acquisition have made it necessary to accomplish similar improvements in efficient data analysis techniques. Current automated methods for analyzing spectra are either (a) data-driven, which requires prior knowledge of stellar parameters and elemental abundances, or (b) based on theoretical synthetic models that are susceptible to the gap between theory and practice. In this study, we present a hybrid generative domain adaptation method that turns simulated stellar spectra into realistic spectra by applying unsupervised learning to large spectroscopic surveys. We apply our technique to the APOGEE H-band spectra at R=22,500 and the Kurucz synthetic models. As a proof of concept, two case studies are presented. The first of which is the calibration of synthetic data to become consistent with observations. To accomplish this, synthetic models are morphed into spectra that resemble observations, thereby reducing the gap between theory and observations. Fitting the observed spectra shows an improved average reduced $χ_R^2$ from 1.97 to 1.22, along with a reduced mean residual from 0.16 to -0.01 in normalized flux. The second case study is the identification of the elemental source of missing spectral lines in the synthetic modelling. A mock dataset is used to show that absorption lines can be recovered when they are absent in one of the domains. This method can be applied to other fields, which use large data sets and are currently limited by modelling accuracy. The code used in this study is made publicly available on github.

description: In a recent approach in modelling a radiating relativistic star undergoing gravitational collapse the role of the Weyl stresses was emphasised. It is possible to generate a model which is physically reasonable by approximately solving the junction conditions at the boundary of the star. In this paper we demonstrate that it is possible to solve the Einstein field equations and the junction conditions exactly. This exact solution contains the Friedmann dust solution as a limiting case. We briefly consider the radiative transfer within the framework of extended irreversible thermodynamics and show that relaxational effects significantly alter the temperature profiles.

description: An XML web service is, to a first approximation, an RPC service in which requests and responses are encoded in XML as SOAP envelopes, and transported over HTTP. We consider the problem of authenticating requests and responses at the SOAP-level, rather than relying on transport-level security. We propose a security abstraction, inspired by earlier work on secure RPC, in which the methods exported by a web service are annotated with one of three security levels: none, authenticated, or both authenticated and encrypted. We model our abstraction as an object calculus with primitives for defining and calling web services. We describe the semantics of our object calculus by translating to a lower-level language with primitives for message passing and cryptography. To validate our semantics, we embed correspondence assertions that specify the correct authentication of requests and responses. By appeal to the type theory for cryptographic protocols of Gordon and Jeffrey's Cryptyc, we verify the correspondence assertions simply by typing. Finally, we describe an implementation of our semantics via custom SOAP headers.

description: The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment is built on a conceptual framework that links biodiversity to the services ecosystems provide to society. Based on this framework, we first compile market and non-market forest valuation studies and, secondly, explore the potential of an econometric modeling exercise by conducting a world wide meta-analysis. This exercise aims to highlight the mapping of biodiversity indicators and assesses their respective role on the valuation exercise. Our results show that biodiversity loss is having an effect on forest ecosystem values. In addition, these effects reveal to be dependent on the type of services and global geo-climatic regions.

It is a classic problem in data structure design with a wide range of applications in computing from coding to databases. In this work, we propose and compare several and practical solutions to this problem, showing that new trade-offs between the performance of queries and updates can be achieved on modern hardware.

description: Alzheimer's disease is an untreatable, progressive brain disorder that slowly robs people of their memory, thinking abilities, and ultimately their capacity to complete even the most basic tasks. Among older adults, it is the most frequent cause of dementia. Although there is presently no treatment for Alzheimer's disease, scientific trials are ongoing to discover drugs to combat the condition. Treatments to slow the signs of dementia are also available. Many researchers throughout the world became interested in developing computer-aided diagnosis systems to aid in the early identification of this deadly disease and assure an accurate diagnosis. In particular, image based approaches have been coupled with machine learning techniques to address the challenges of Alzheimer's disease detection. This study proposes a computer aided diagnosis system to detect Alzheimer's disease from biomarkers captured using neuroimaging techniques. The proposed approach relies on deep learning techniques to extract the relevant visual features from the image collection to accurately predict the Alzheimer's class value. In the experiments, standard datasets and pre-trained deep learning models were investigated. Moreover, standard performance measures were used to assess the models' performances. The obtained results proved that VGG16-based models outperform the state of the art performance.

description: We describe many different realizations with integer coordinates for the associahedron (i.e. the Stasheff polytope) and for the cyclohedron (i.e. the Bott-Taubes polytope) and compare them to the permutahedron of type A_n and B_n respectively. The coordinates are obtained by an algorithm which uses an oriented Coxeter graph of type A_n or B_n respectively as only input and which specialises to a procedure presented by J.-L. Loday for a certain orientation of A_n. The described realizations have cambrian fans of type A and B as normal fans. This settles a conjecture of N. Reading for cambrian fans of these types.

description: Intelligent surfaces represent a breakthrough technology capable of customizing the wireless channel cost-effectively. However, the existing works generally focus on planar wavefront, neglecting near-field spherical wavefront characteristics caused by large array aperture and high operation frequencies in the terahertz (THz). Additionally, the single-layer reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) lacks the signal processing ability to mitigate the computational complexity at the base station (BS). To address this issue, we introduce a novel stacked intelligent metasurfaces (SIM) comprised of an array of programmable metasurface layers. The SIM aims to substitute conventional digital baseband architecture to execute computing tasks with ultra-low processing delay, albeit with a reduced number of radio-frequency (RF) chains and low-resolution digital-to-analog converters. In this paper, we present a SIM-aided multiuser multiple-input single-output (MU-MISO) near-field system, where the SIM is integrated into the BS to perform beamfocusing in the wave domain and customize an end-to-end channel with minimized inter-user interference. Finally, the numerical results demonstrate that near-field communication achieves superior spatial gain over the far-field, and the SIM effectively suppresses inter-user interference as the wireless signals propagate through it.

description: We present Referee, a novel framework for sentence summarization that can be trained reference-free (i.e., requiring no gold summaries for supervision), while allowing direct control for compression ratio. Our work is the first to demonstrate that reference-free, controlled sentence summarization is feasible via the conceptual framework of Symbolic Knowledge Distillation (West et al., 2022), where latent knowledge in pre-trained language models is distilled via explicit examples sampled from the teacher models, further purified with three types of filters: length, fidelity, and Information Bottleneck. Moreover, we uniquely propose iterative distillation of knowledge, where student models from the previous iteration of distillation serve as teacher models in the next iteration. Starting off from a relatively modest set of GPT3-generated summaries, we demonstrate how iterative knowledge distillation can lead to considerably smaller, but better summarizers with sharper controllability. A useful by-product of this iterative distillation process is a high-quality dataset of sentence-summary pairs with varying degrees of compression ratios. Empirical results demonstrate that the final student models vastly outperform the much larger GPT3-Instruct model in terms of the controllability of compression ratios, without compromising the quality of resulting summarization.

Static quadrupole moments of nuclear chiral doublet bands

description: The static quadrupole moments (SQMs) of nuclear chiral doublet bands are investigated for the first time taking the particle-hole configuration $π(1h_{11/2}) \otimes ν(1h_{11/2})^{-1}$ with triaxial deformation parameters in the range $260^\circ \leq γ\leq 270^\circ$ as examples. The behavior of the SQM as a function of spin $I$ is illustrated by analyzing the components of the total angular momentum. It is found that in the region of chiral vibrations the SQMs of doublet bands are strongly varying with $I$, whereas in the region of static chirality the SQMs of doublet bands are almost constant. Hence, the measurement of SQMs provides a new criterion for distinguishing the modes of nuclear chirality. Moreover, in the high-spin region the SQMs can be approximated by an analytic formula with a proportionality to $\cosγ$ for both doublet bands. This provides a way to extract experimentally the triaxial deformation parameter $γ$ for chiral bands from the measured SQMs.

Effects of natural disturbance and harvesting on the landscape and stand level structure of wet, cold Engelmann Spruce-Subalpine Fir forests of south-central British Columbia, Canada

description: Engelmann Spruce-Subalpine Fir (ESSF) forests of interior British Columbia have increasingly become the target of forest harvesting in the past 40 years. Over the past decade, increasing public concern over maintaining biodiversity and ecological health within forests has brought about two primary pieces of legislation—The Forest Practices Code of 1995 and The Forest and Range Practices Act of 2002—that shape the current paradigm directing forest management. This paradigm maintains that biological diversity can be preserved by designing forest harvesting practices that result in regenerated forests that closely mimic naturally disturbed forests. It has been suggested that fire is the primary form of natural disturbance in ESSF forests. To date, there has been little knowledge gained about the natural disturbance patterns in ESSF forests, leaving forest managers with little guidance as to how to emulate these patterns. In this study, I sought to quantify both landscape-level and stand-level differences between naturally disturbed and harvested forests in the North Thompson variant of the wet, cold subzone of the ESSF (ESSFwc2) using the Geographical Information System Arcview and field measurement techniques. A decrease in the amount of old-growth forest as well as a decrease in the mean disturbance interval from naturally disturbed to harvested forests was found. Both patch size and patch size variability decreased with harvesting in older age classes and increased with harvesting in young age classes. A decrease in the amount of coarse woody debris and snags from naturally disturbed to harvested stands, as well as a significant difference in tree species composition between naturally disturbed and harvested stands was found. If emulation silviculture is the goal of forest management, this study concludes that the current harvesting method of clearcutting is failing to do so and, therefore, alternative harvesting methods and/or non-timber outputs should be considered.

description: Je nach Thema entwickelt sich die Recherche in der Kunstgeschichte zu einer Suche nach der Nadel im Heuhaufen. Dabei sind die unterschiedlichen Sprachen nicht die größte Herausforderung. Ebenso wenig kann man sich über die Literaturbeschaffung beschweren. Dank zunehmend vernetzter Bibliothekssysteme und Volltextdigitalisierung älterer Publikationen ist der Zugang zu den Texten und Quellen deutlich verbessert worden. Anders sieht es mit den Kunstwerken selbst aus. In einer Wissenschaft, in der die Abbildungen Teil der Argumentationskette sind, gestaltet sich die Suche nach eben diesen als langwieriger Prozess. In dem Vortrag wird aufgezeigt, mit welchen Strategien man auf die Suche gehen muss, wo die Herausforderungen liegen und welche neuen Technologien hier helfen könnten.

description: The dynamics of network social contagion processes such as opinion formation and epidemic spreading are often mediated by interactions between multiple nodes. Previous results have shown that these higher-order interactions can profoundly modify the dynamics of contagion processes, resulting in bistability, hysteresis, and explosive transitions. In this paper, we present and analyze a hyperdegree-based mean-field description of the dynamics of the SIS model on hypergraphs, i.e. networks with higher-order interactions, and illustrate its applicability with the example of a hypergraph where contagion is mediated by both links (pairwise interactions) and triangles (three-way interactions). We consider various models for the organization of link and triangle structure, and different mechanisms of higher-order contagion and healing. We find that explosive transitions can be suppressed by heterogeneity in the link degree distribution, when links and triangles are chosen independently, or when link and triangle connections are positively correlated when compared to the uncorrelated case. We verify these results with microscopic simulations of the contagion process and with analytic predictions derived from the mean-field model. Our results show that the structure of higher-order interactions can have important effects on contagion processes on hypergraphs.
