"Quantum machine" to solve quantum "measurement problem"?

description: Recently a study of the first superposed mechanical quantum object ("machine") visible to the naked eye was published. However, as we show, it turns out that if the object would actually be observed, i.e. would interact with an optical photon, the quantum behavior should vanish. This, the actual observation, has long been suspected in many interpretations of quantum mechanics to be what makes the transition quantum $\rightarrow$ classical, but so far it has not been available for direct experimental study in a mechanical system. We show how any interaction, even a purely quantum one, of sufficient strength can constitute a physical "measurement" - essentially the emergence of an effectively classical object - active observation thus being a sufficient but not necessary criterion. So it seems we have in this case of the "quantum machine" a unique possibility to study, and possibly solve, the long-standing "measurement problem" of quantum mechanics.

Ethnographie / fiction : à propos de quelques confusions et faux paradoxes
Creators: name: Debaene, Vincent
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2005
Subjects: Ethnology

description: On pourrait dire du récent numéro d’Anthropologie et Sociétés intitulé Ethnographie – fictions? qu’il est révélateur à double titre. Révélateur, d’abord, d’un état historique de la discipline. De toute évidence, l’ouvrage s’inscrit dans un ensemble de textes qu’il serait tentant de ranger sous la rubrique «Writing Culture: vingt ans après». Avec d’autres, il obéit à une double nécessité: celle de tirer les leçons de ce que Sherry Simon et Gilles Bibeau appellent dans l’introduction les 'interventions décisives de James Clifford et George Marcus [1986], de James Clifford (1988) [1996], de Clifford Geertz (1988) [1996]' (p. 7); celle de reprendre à nouveau frais la question de l’écriture ethnographique, après que le débat s’est (un peu) apaisé et loin des excès comme des crispations consécutifs à ce que les éditeurs qualifient de '“virage littéraire” en anthropologie' (p.8). Dans une contribution consacrée aux 'péripéties plurigraphiques' de quelques ethnologues (Michel Leiris, Claude Lévi-Strauss, Nigel Barley, Laura Bohannan), Jean-Claude Muller pose la question 'Où en sommes-nous?' (p.155), et l’interrogation pourrait sans doute être placée en exergue du recueil.
Les 'Chroniques éthiopiennes' de Marcel Griaule. L’ethnologie, la littérature et le document en 1934

Literature

description: Published in 1934, Marcel Griaule’s Les Flambeurs d’hommes [Burners of Men] recounts the first “Griaule mission,” undertaken in 1928 in the Godjam region of Ethiopia.  Although forgotten today, the book was initially published to considerable success.  Indeed, it deserves a critical reappraisal based on several features which make it completely unique and without any equivalent in ethnographic literature of the 20th century, foremost among them Griaule’s use of the third person when speaking about himself.  To be properly understood, this curious text needs to be situated in the epistemological context of French ethnology of the interwar period.  Indeed, Les Flambeurs d’hommes sheds light on the contradictions of the anthropological discipline of that era. In particular, it demonstrates ethnology’s ambivalent relationship to literature, as literature is held to be, on the one hand, that which must be discarded on behalf of the objectivity of the document, and, on the other hand, a technique much desired for its alleged ability to convey and restore the “moral atmosphere” of society.

description: The presence of a hot dark matter component has been hinted at 3 sigma by a combination of the results from different cosmological observations. We examine a possibility that pseudo Nambu-Goldstone bosons account for both hot and cold dark matter components. We show that the QCD axions can do the job for the axion decay constant f_a < O(10^10) GeV, if they are produced by the saxion decay and the domain wall annihilation. We also investigate the cases of thermal QCD axions, pseudo Nambu-Goldstone bosons coupled to the standard model sector through the Higgs portal, and axions produced by modulus decay.

Inferring models and structure from biological data: networks and pathways
Creators: name: Putnins, Matthew
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: Physiological functions are driven by the emergent behaviors of many individual components, whether they are gene, protein, or metabolic interactions. These interactions form biochemical pathways and interaction networks which then lead to more complex cellular or organismal level behaviors that are not knowable from the characteristics of an individual component of that system. Knowing whether a gene is being expressed or knowing the structure of a protein does not necessarily imply the physiological function of either, but within the context of a meaningful biological system, we can infer more complex behaviors. In the enclosed dissertation we present multiple approaches to contextualize biological components into more complex systems. These methods include utilizing Boolean networks to model interactions in a qualitative manner, as well as analyzing expression data in the context of biochemical pathways. We use two distinct approaches for understanding biological systems: We utilize evolutionary algorithms to understand the origin and development of complex systems. This evolutionary framework enables a better understanding of complex network structures as well as evolutionary strategies used in the development of complex biological systems.We additionally propose a data-driven approach for interrogating gene expression within the context of biochemical pathways. We utilize a novel method for detecting circadian genes and map these genes onto physiologically functional pathways. We utilize this data to validate methods for constructing a Boolean network to infer the causal relationships which exist within gene pathways. This analysis will improve the applications of high throughput data analysis for the purpose of identifying critical components of complex biological systems.
Social and Behavioral Consequences of the Vietnam Experience among American Legionnaires

Subjects: Epidemiology

description: One aspect of a cross-sectional questionnaire study of a sample of Vietnam veterans belonging to The American Legion was devoted to analysis of social and behavioral consequences of service in Southeast Asia. Members of the study population were stratified by whether they served in Southeast Asia and, within the Southeast Asia group, by varying degrees of exposure to combat and to herbicides. Using validated scales for behavioral affect and for the exposure measures for combat and herbicides, a wide range of adverse effects was observed. Men who faced high levels of combat intensity were found to be at greater risk for divorce and for generally being less happy and satisfied with their lives, their marriages, their role as fathers, and as sexual human beings. Although in this population they have reached comparatively high levels of education, they earn significantly less money than peers of their same age and educational attainment. Vietnam veterans returning from combat were found to exhibit higher levels of behavioral disturbances, with mean scores for depression, anxiety, irritation, feelings of helplessness, and physical signs of depression significantly worse than noncombat peers. The lifestyle of combat veterans also continues to place them at greater risk for poor health. They smoke, drink, and use prescription drugs at rates significantly greater than the other veterans in this study. Combat veterans have had a significantly poorer rate of reduction and cessation of smoking and drinking than others in this population. Evidence is also presented which shows that for some of the behavioral outcomes measured, a negative interactive effect of concurrent exposure to herbicides is present.

Herbicides--War use
Agent Orange--War use

description: A cross-sectional survey of 6810 randomly selected members of The American Legion in six states who served in the U.S. Armed Forces during the Vietnam Era was conducted by a mailed questionnaire. Combat stress was evaluated by a previously validated eight-item scale. Exposure to Agent Orange and other herbicides was estimated via exposure probability index previously developed by the authors which uses an algorithm based on the combined Air Force and Joint Services HERBS files of spray data. Two-fifths of the men had served in Southeast Asia, generally at the same time during which the major proportion of herbicides were used; the remaining subjects served elsewhere. Both combat and Agent Orange exposure exhibited distinct, meaningful distributions among Vietnam veterans with service in Southeast Asia and were also correlated with each other (r = 0.24). Our analysis demonstrates conclusively that mere presence in Vietnam cannot be used as a proxy for exposure to Agent Orange. Categorization of Vietnam veterans according to herbicide exposure can be successfully accomplished, based on an existing detailed herbicide application data base. This analysis, together with the consistent dose-related results obtained in this series of papers on health and behavioral effects, demonstrates the utility of questionnaire-derived herbicide and combat exposure measures for epidemiologic study of Vietnam veterans.

description: This was my first experience overseas, so naturally I was nervous. It was overwhelming to think that we were going to Paris and Krakow where our major objective was to learn more about the Holocaust and those involved. In Paris there were not as many distinct reminders about what Holocaust victims went through, but in Krakow, it was all but obvious, especially at Auschwitz-Birkenau. I was not sure how to feel about Auschwitz. Was there a right and a wrong way to feel? I knew a place with such an awful and graphic history deserved the utmost respect for those who suffered and died there.

description: This paper presents a haptic glove display designed to act as a sensory substitution device. Primarily, it communicates navigation directions from point A to point B in the form of vibration patterns to the person riding a bike or driving a car. The display comprises 16 haptic feedback motors placed on a glove that relays the information to the user as static, spatial, and sweeping haptic feedback. The haptic feedback also varies in intensity to communicate soft or hard feedback. Moreover, it can act as an extension to our present human sensory system in ways that we can perceive data directly on our body without having our visual attention diverted on screens. The addition of a 9-DoF IMU to this glove will enable its use in virtual reality applications, enabling bidirectional communication between the system and the user. Other uses include data perception, music perception, interactive video feed, and a haptic display for the vision-impaired people.

description: The thermal conductivity of the doped topological crystalline insulator, Sn$_{0.6}$In$_{0.4}$Te superconducting single crystal with $T_c =$ 4.1 K, was measured down to 50 mK. It is found that the residual linear term $κ_0/T$ is negligible in zero magnetic field. The $κ_0/T$ shows a slow field dependence at low magnetic field. These results suggest that the superconducting gap is nodeless, unless there exist point nodes with directions perpendicular to the heat current. Due to its high-symmetry fcc crystal structure of Sn$_{0.6}$In$_{0.4}$Te, however, such point nodes can be excluded. Therefore we demonstrate that this topological superconductor candidate has a full superconducting gap in the bulk. It is likely the unconventional odd-parity $A_{1u}$ state which supports a surface Andreev bound state.

Stochastic Master Equation Analysis of Optimized Three-Qubit Nondemolition Parity Measurement

description: We analyze a direct parity measurement of the state of three superconducting qubits in circuit quantum electrodynamics. The parity is inferred from a homodyne measurement of the reflected/transmitted microwave radiation and the measurement is direct in the sense that the parity is measured without the need for any quantum circuit operations or for ancilla qubits. Qubits are coupled to two resonant cavity modes, allowing the steady state of the emitted radiation to satisfy the necessary conditions to act as a pointer state for the parity. However, the transient dynamics violates these conditions and we analyze this detrimental effect and show that it can be overcome in the limit of weak measurement signal. Our analysis shows that, with a moderate degree of post-selection, it is possible to achieve post-measurement states with fidelity of order 95%. We believe that this type of measurement could serve as a benchmark for future error-correction protocols in a scalable architecture.

description: Video streaming via TCP networks has become a popular and highly demanded service, but its quality assessment in both objective and subjective terms has not been properly addressed. In this paper, based on statistical analysis a full analytic model of a no-reference objective metric, namely Pause Intensity, for video quality assessment is presented. The model characterizes the video playout buffer behavior in connection with the network performance (throughput) and the video playout rate. This allows for instant quality measurement and control without requiring a reference video. Pause intensity specifically addresses the need for assessing the quality issue in terms of the continuity in the playout of TCP streaming videos, which cannot be properly measured by other objective metrics such as PSNR, SSIM and buffer underrun or pause frequency. The performance of the analytical model is rigidly verified by simulation results and subjective tests using a range of video clips. It is demonstrated that pause intensity is closely correlated with viewer opinion scores regardless of the vastly different composition of individual elements, such as pause duration and pause frequency which jointly constitute this new quality metric. It is also shown that the correlation performance of pause intensity is consistent and content independent.

description: Pearl’s well-known d-separation criterion for an acyclic directed graph (ADG) is a pathwise separation criterion that can be used to efficiently identify all valid conditional independence relations in the Markov model determined by the graph. This paper introduces p-separation, a pathwise separation criterion that efficiently identifies all valid conditional independences under the Andersson–Madigan–Perlman (AMP) alternative Markov property for chain graphs (= adicyclic graphs), which include both ADGs and undirected graphs as special cases. The equivalence of p-separation to the augmentation criterion occurring in the AMP global Markov property is established, and p-separation is applied to prove completeness of the global Markov property for AMP chain graph models. Strong completeness of the AMP Markov property is established, that is, the existence of Markov perfect distributions that satisfy those and only those conditional independences implied by the AMP property(equivalently, by p-separation). A linear-time algorithm for determining p-separation is presented.

description: Zjawisko powstawania rękopisów zawierających teksty w językach afrykańskich spisywane w piśmie arabskim znane jest z wielu obszarów muzułmańskiej Afryki. Zwyczaj notowania języków afrykańskich alfabetem arabskim określany jest mianem ajami (z lokalnymi wariantami), co pochodzi od arabskiego słowa عجمي‎‎ ʿaǧamī „obcy”, „cudzoziemski”. Na obszarze Afryki Zachodniej przedmiotem wielu studiów były rękopisy w takich językach jak: hausa, fulfulde, wolof, bambara, songhai, kanuri i innych. Z Afryki Wschodniej znanych jest wiele rękopisów w suahili. O wiele mniej znana jest tradycja rękopisów ajami powstałych w Rogu Afryki, w tym w szczególności w Etiopii. W niniejszym tekście zostaną przybliżone najważniejsze informacje dotyczące rękopisów muzułmańskich w językach Etiopii, przede wszystkim w języku amharskim, w tym kontekst ich powstawania, problemy związane ze stosowaniem arabskiej ortografii do zapisu języka amharskiego oraz tematyka utworów. Amharskie ajami stanowi bowiem istotny i interesujący, choć w dużej mierze należący już do przeszłości, element kultury etiopskich muzułmanów, która przez lata pozostawała nieco w cieniu kultury chrześcijańskich sąsiadów.

description: We present a framework to cluster nodes in directed networks according to their roles by combining Role-Based Similarity (RBS) and Markov Stability, two techniques based on flows. First we compute the RBS matrix, which contains the pairwise similarities between nodes according to the scaled number of in- and out-directed paths of different lengths. The weighted RBS similarity matrix is then transformed into an undirected similarity network using the Relaxed Minimum-Spanning Tree (RMST) algorithm, which uses the geometric structure of the RBS matrix to unblur the network, such that edges between nodes with high, direct RBS are preserved. Finally, we partition the RMST similarity network into role-communities of nodes at all scales using Markov Stability to find a robust set of roles in the network. We showcase our framework through a biological and a man-made network.

description: We pilot-tested a street-level study of availability of physical resources to assess ethnic disparities in community capacity for cancer prevention in forty Brooklyn, NY, census tracts with high proportions of White, African American, or Jamaican immigrant populations. Interns with GIS maps made street-level inventories of food retailers, fast-food restaurants, and commercial exercise facilities. Availability was quantified as resources per capita or square mile. Median income-adjusted number of supermarkets, greengrocers and fast-food restaurants per square mile was significantly higher in Jamaican than in African American or White tracts. Bodegas per capita was greatest in African American tracts, with no significant differences among the population groups in availability of health food stores, or commercial exercise venues.

It uses LEGO-style blocks and colors to help kids learn the basics of programming and aims to increase the learning effectiveness of programmers. The Physical Programming Language takes the form of a kit that comprises different sub-modules like variable blocks, value blocks, marker blocks, display blocks, loop blocks, conditionals blocks, and operator blocks. The physical programming language aims to provide a tangible and tactile learning in a physical environment. It also re-imagines how we think of programming language today. Instead of a traditional programming setup that involves a minimum of a keyboard and a screen to function, it uses physical blocks. It helps the user visualize how a program would look in an actual physical space than inside a storage disk.

description: Le but de cette étude est de comprendre et d’évaluer le tournant que connaît l’ethnologie française au cours des années 1925-1939. On peut schématiquement opposer deux lectures de l’histoire de la discipline. La première, la plus ancienne, est discontinuiste ; c’est celle des pères fondateurs, et elle prévalut longtemps: la naissance du savoir anthropologique coïnciderait avec la naissance institutionnelle de l’ethnologie. En 1925 est créé l’Institut d’ethnologie de l’Université de Paris par Lucien Lévy-Bruhl, Marcel Mauss et Paul Rivet. Sous l’impulsion particulièrement des deux derniers est formée la première génération d’ethnographes professionnels. À la différence de leurs maîtres qui n’ont pas mené d’enquêtes ethnographiques, ces derniers non seulement connaîtront l’expérience de terrain, mais commenceront par elle, et ils feront paraître, à leur retour, les résultats de leurs recherches dans des publications spécialisées qui, pour la plupart, viennent d’être créées telles que la collection des 'Travaux et Mémoires de l’Institut d’ethnologie' inaugurée en 1926, ou le Journal de la Société des africanistes dont le premier numéro date de 1931. Ce processus de fondation se poursuit et s’achève avec la réorganisation du Musée d’ethnographie du Trocadéro (1929-1930), avant que celui-ci ne soit démoli pour laisser place au Musée de l’homme ouvert fin 1937 et inauguré en juin 1938.

description: We present a theoretical analysis of Gaussian-binary restricted Boltzmann machines (GRBMs) from the perspective of density models. The key aspect of this analysis is to show that GRBMs can be formulated as a constrained mixture of Gaussians, which gives a much better insight into the model's capabilities and limitations. We show that GRBMs are capable of learning meaningful features both in a two-dimensional blind source separation task and in modeling natural images. Further, we show that reported difficulties in training GRBMs are due to the failure of the training algorithm rather than the model itself. Based on our analysis we are able to propose several training recipes, which allowed successful and fast training in our experiments. Finally, we discuss the relationship of GRBMs to several modifications that have been proposed to improve the model.

'O15' ('O50') indicates the model starting at 15% (50%) of the initial critical rotation rate. The ESTER models are easiest read in with the python package that comes with the ESTER installation. Alternatively, with Python: import numpy as np
 import h5py
 def read_ester_model(filename):
 f = h5py.File(filename, 'r')
 return f['star'].attrs['age'], f['star'].attrs['Omega_bk'], np.array(f['star']['diff_v']).T, np.array(f['star']['r']).T,np.array(f['star'['N14']).T, np.array(f['star']['w']).T
 This, for example, returns the age, fraction of the critical rotation, vertical diffusion coefficient, N14 mass fraction profile, and the angular velocity. We refer to the ESTER documentation for more details.

We investigate the presence of thermodynamic instability in a warm and asymmetric nuclear medium and study the consequent nuclear liquid-gas phase transition by requiring the Gibbs conditions on the global conservation of baryon number and electric charge fraction. We show that nonextensive statistical effects play a crucial role in the equation of state and in the formation of mixed phase also for small deviations from the standard Boltzmann-Gibbs statistics.

description: Classifiers favoring sparse solutions, such as support vector machines, relevance vector machines, LASSO-regression based classifiers, etc., provide competitive methods for classification problems in high dimensions. However, current algorithms for training sparse classifiers typically scale quite unfavorably with respect to the number of training examples. This paper proposes online and multi-pass algorithms for training sparse linear classifiers for high dimensional data. These algorithms have computational complexity and memory requirements that make learning on massive data sets feasible. The central idea that makes this possible is a straightforward quadratic approximation to the likelihood function.
Stellar Rotation Periods of the Kepler Objects of Interest: A Dearth of Close-in Planets around Fast Rotators

description: We present a large sample of stellar rotation periods for Kepler Objects of Interest (KOIs), based on three years of public Kepler data. These were measured by detecting periodic photometric modulation caused by star spots, using an algorithm based on the autocorrelation function (ACF) of the light curve, developed recently by McQuillan, Aigrain & Mazeh (2013). Of the 1919 main-sequence exoplanet hosts analyzed, robust rotation periods were detected for 737. Comparing the detected stellar periods to the orbital periods of the innermost planet in each system reveals a notable lack of close-in planets around rapid rotators. It appears that only slowly spinning stars, with rotation periods longer than 5-10 days, host planets on orbits shorter than 3 days, although the mechanism(s) that lead(s) to this is not clear.

Low-frequency oscillations in narrow vibrated granular systems

description: We present simulations and a theoretical treatment of vertically vibrated granular media. The systems considered are confined in narrow quasi-two-dimensional and quasi-one-dimensional (column) geometries, where the vertical extension of the container is much larger than both horizontal lengths. The additional geometric constraint present in the column setup frustrates the convection state that is normally observed in wider geometries. This makes it possible to study collective oscillations of the grains with a characteristic frequency that is much lower than the frequency of energy injection. The frequency and amplitude of these oscillations are studied as a function of the energy input parameters and the size of the container. We observe that, in the quasi-two-dimensional setup, low-frequency oscillations are present even in the convective regime. This suggests that they may play a significant role in the transition from a density inverted state to convection. Two models are also presented; the first one, based on Cauchy's equations, is able to predict with high accuracy the frequency of the particles' collective motion. This first principles model requires a single input parameter, i.e, the centre of mass of the system. The model shows that a sufficient condition for the existence of the low-frequency mode is an inverted density profile with distinct low and high density regions, a condition that may apply to other systems too. The second, simpler model just assumes an harmonic oscillator like behaviour and, using thermodynamic arguments, is also able to reproduce the observed frequencies with high accuracy.

Health and Reproductive Outcomes among American Legionnaires in Relation to Combat and Herbicide Exposure in Vietnam

description: History of diagnosed illnesses, medical symptoms, and reproductive outcomes and their relation to combat intensity and herbicide exposure were studied, via a mailed questionnaire, among 6810 American Legionnaires who served during the Vietnam War (42% in Southeast Asia, 58% elsewhere). Heart disease, venereal disease, and benign fatty tumors were reported significantly more often by Vietnam veterans than by controls. Combat intensity was significantly dosage-related to history of high blood pressure, ulcers, arthritis and rheumatism, genito-urinary problems, nervous system disease, major injury, hepatitis, and benign fatty tumors. Agent Orange exposure was significantly dosage-related to history of benign fatty tumors, adult ache, skin rash with blisters, and increased sensitivity of eyes to light. Rates of the latter two conditions and of change in skin color were especially elevated in men whose military occupations involved direct handling of herbicides. Five "symptom complex" scales were constructed via factor analysis to measure degrees of feeling faint, fatigue or physical depression, body aches, colds, and skin irritation. Means of all five scales were significantly higher in Vietnam veterans compared to controls, and in herbicide handlers compared to non-handlers. Both combat and Agent Orange exposure were significant, independent predictors of each of the five scales. Neither combat nor Agent Orange exposure was associated with difficulty in conception, time to conception of first child, or to birthweight or sex ratio of offspring, but maternal smoking was strongly related to reduced birthweight. The percentage of spouses' pregnancies which resulted in miscarriages was significantly higher for Vietnam veterans than controls (7.6% vs 5.5%, P & 0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that Agent Orange exposure and maternal smoking were both independently and significantly associated with miscarriage rates in a dose-related manner.
First passage statistics for aging diffusion in annealed and quenched disorder

description: Aging, the dependence of the dynamics of a physical process on the time $t_a$ since its original preparation, is observed in systems ranging from the motion of charge carriers in amorphous semiconductors over the blinking dynamics of quantum dots to the tracer dispersion in living biological cells. Here we study the effects of aging on one of the most fundamental properties of a stochastic process, the first passage dynamics. We find that for an aging continuous time random walk process the scaling exponent of the density of first passage times changes twice as the aging progresses and reveals an intermediate scaling regime. The first passage dynamics depends on $t_a$ differently for intermediate and strong aging. Similar crossovers are obtained for the first passage dynamics for a confined and driven particle. Comparison to the motion of an aged particle in the quenched trap model with a bias shows excellent agreement with our analytical findings. Our results demonstrate how first passage measurements can be used to unravel the age $t_a$ of a physical system.

description: Classical density functional theory (DFT) is a statistical mechanical theory for calculating the density profiles of the molecules in a liquid. It is widely used, for example. to calculate the density distribution of the molecules in the vicinity of a confining wall, the interfacial tension, the wetting behaviour and many other properties of nonuniform liquids. DFT can however be somewhat daunting to students entering the field, because of the many connections to other areas of liquid-state science that are required and used to develop the theories. Here we give an introduction to some of the key ideas, based on a lattice-gas (Ising) model fluid. This builds on knowledge covered in most undergraduate statistical mechanics and thermodynamics courses and so students can quickly get to the stage of calculating density profiles, etc for themselves. We derive a simple DFT for the lattice-gas and present some typical results that can readily be calculated using the theory.
