The relationship of brachial pulse wave measurements to the performance of cross country runners
Creators: name: Yarr, Alan David
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The cardiovascular condition of five members of the University of B.C. cross country team was checked weekly with the Cameron Heartometer. Heartograph measures taken twenty-four hours before competition were compared to the coach's subjective appraisal of the athlete's performance to see if fluctuations in any of the measures corresponded to fluctuations in performance. A record of the runners' training load was also kept. Using case study methods the information above was observed and studied to see if the heartometer is a practical device for anticipating staleness, incipient infection or general inability to adapt to the training load. The autonomic nervous tone of the athlete is indirectly represented by the heartometer measures. The measures of the heartograph were also statistically interpreted to see which measures showed significant trends during the nine weeks of testing. Each of the five athletes showed results that were different than those of his teammates. One athlete, with a long history of endurance training, significantly improved most of the aspects of his cardiovascular condition in the short nine-week season. This runner ran well throughout the season with no apparent staleness. Another athlete, who has had severe attacks of asthma, performed well until attempting a particularly heavy amount of work. After this work he ran a very poor race. The heartograph showed a rest-to-work ratio that had dipped sharply from previous readings, on a graph taken twenty-four hours before this race. A third subject had been training all year. From the beginning of testing this runner showed strong pulse wave responses. However, his performance was not as would be expected from an athlete that was adapting well to his training. During the season the athlete had a slight nervous breakdown which indicates that he was not adapting to the stresses of his overall programme. With a reduction of training his running improved somewhat as did certain measures of his pulse wave. The fourth subject trained hard but did not perform as well as might be expected for an athlete undertaking this amount of training. The fifth man trained moderately throughout the season. This subject was basically a middle distance runner and participated in cross country in preparation for the track season. His heartograph measures showed gradual improvements and three - systolic blood pressure, pulse pressure and rest-to-work ratio - showed significant linear increase during the training period. This runner performed as expected in all races. Four measures of the pulse wave showed parallel development with improving cardiovascular condition; these were the diastolic surge, rest-to-work ratio, systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure. The rest-to-work ratio showed variations that on observation best indicated staleness or inability to adapt to the training load.

description: Overconstraining the CKM unitarity triangle with precision measurements of its angles continues to test the validity of the Standard Model. One of these angles, gamma/phi_3, has been measured by studying B+- -> D K+- decays, where D = D0 or D0-bar. I present recent results of hadronic D decays which will improve the sensitivity of gamma/phi_3 measurements.

The $Z_2$ staggered vertex model and its applications

description: New solvable vertex models can be easily obtained by staggering the spectral parameter in already known ones. This simple construction reveals some surprises: for appropriate values of the staggering, highly non-trivial continuum limits can be obtained. The simplest case of staggering with period two (the $Z_2$ case) for the six-vertex model was shown to be related, in one regime of the spectral parameter, to the critical antiferromagnetic Potts model on the square lattice, and has a non-compact continuum limit. Here, we study the other regime: in the very anisotropic limit, it can be viewed as a zig-zag spin chain with spin anisotropy, or as an anyonic chain with a generic (non-integer) number of species. From the Bethe-Ansatz solution, we obtain the central charge $c=2$, the conformal spectrum, and the continuum partition function, corresponding to one free boson and two Majorana fermions. Finally, we obtain a massive integrable deformation of the model on the lattice. Interestingly, its scattering theory is a massive version of the one for the flow between minimal models. The corresponding field theory is argued to be a complex version of the $C_2^{(2)}$ Toda theory.

Luttinger correlations and resonant tunneling in carbon nanotube intramolecular dots

description: We investigate linear electronic transport in single-walled carbon nanotubes with two intramolecular tunneling barriers. The one-dimensional character of transport in these molecular wires is reflected in unconventional Coulomb blockade features, occurring for thermal lengths larger than the width of the one-dimensional dot. In this regime, long ranged Luttinger liquid correlations among tunneling events on and off the island invalidate a conventional incoherent sequential tunneling picture. In contrast, correlated sequential tunneling and co-tunneling dominate transport at resonance. This results, for instance, in the power-law temperature dependence Gmax∝Tαend−end−1 of the conductance maximum, typical for tunneling between the ends of two Luttinger liquids. Our predictions are in agreement with recent measurements in carbon nanotube intramolecular quantum dots.

Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A system of two coupled non-autonomous oscillators is considered. Dynamics of complex amplitudes is governed by differential equations with periodic piecewise continuous dependence of the coefficients on time. The Poincaré map is derived explicitly. With exclusion of the overall phase, on which the evolution of other variables does not depend, the Poincaré map is reduced to 3D mapping. It possesses an attractor of Plykin type located on an invariant sphere. Computer verification of the cone criterion confirms the hyperbolic nature of the attractor in the 3D map. Some results of numerical studies of the dynamics for the coupled oscillators are presented, including the attractor portraits, Lyapunov exponents, and the power spectral density.

description: We transferred the frequency of an ultra-stable laser over a 108 km urban fiber link comprising 22 km of optical communications network fiber simultaneously carrying Internet data traffic. The metrological signal and the digital data signal are transferred on two different frequency channels in a dense wavelength division multiplexing scheme. The metrological signal is inserted into and extracted from the communications network by using bidirectional off-the-shelf optical add-drop multiplexers. The link-induced phase noise is measured and cancelled with round-trip technique using an all-fiber-based interferometer. The compensated link shows an Allan deviation of a few 10-16 at one second and below 10-19 at 10,000 seconds. This opens the way to a wide dissemination of ultra stable optical clock signals between distant laboratories via the Internet network.

description: Wheat is a major staple crop that is largely affected by different abiotic stresses that include heat, drought, andsalinity. The main objective of this study was to identify wheat NAC transcription factors that are related to theNAC-a subfamily, which is involved in mediating stress tolerance in different plant species. Furthermore, in silicogene expression analysis was conducted to detect differential changes in wheat NAC-a subfamily members indifferent organs, developmental stages, and under various abiotic stress. Herein, using phylogenetic analysis for488 NAC transcription factors, 41 proteins were identified as wheat NAC-a subfamily members. In silico geneexpression analysis found that NAC-related wheat transcription factors are expressed exclusively at the anthesisstage till dough development with high expression levels detected in flag leaves. The in silico gene expressionanalysis identified SNAC1-related members, which had high expression levels under drought, cold, and heatstresses. The identified stress-induced wheat NAC-a subfamily members can be utilized in the future to developclimate-smart wheat cultivars with improved tolerance against abiotic stresses.

description: Context. The CoRoT short runs give us the opportunity to observe a large variety of late-type stars through their solar-like oscillations. We report observations of the star HD175726 that lasted for 27 days during the first short run of the mission. The time series reveals a high-activity signal and the power spectrum presents an excess due to solar-like oscillations with a low signal-to-noise ratio. Aims. Our aim is to identify the most efficient tools to extract as much information as possible from the power density spectrum. Methods. The most productive method appears to be the autocorrelation of the time series, calculated as the spectrum of the filtered spectrum. This method is efficient, very rapid computationally, and will be useful for the analysis of other targets, observed with CoRoT or with forthcoming missions such as Kepler and Plato. Results. The mean large separation has been measured to be 97.2+-0.5 microHz, slightly below the expected value determined from solar scaling laws.We also show strong evidence for variation of the large separation with frequency. The bolometric mode amplitude is only 1.7+-0.25 ppm for radial modes, which is 1.7 times less than expected. Due to the low signal-to-noise ratio, mode identification is not possible for the available data set of HD175726. Conclusions. This study shows the possibility of extracting a seismic signal despite a signal-to-noise ratio of only 0.37. The observation of such a target shows the efficiency of the CoRoT data, and the potential benefit of longer observing runs.

description: Due to the lack of resources, individuals, groups, or countries are more involved in common resource conflicts. This paper uses the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution methodology to model a conflict based on the Nash solution concept, General Meta-Rationality, Symmetric Meta-Rationality, Sequential Stability, Limited h Move Stability, and Non-Myopic Stability definitions and then sieve the socially optimal outcomes from the results of the graph model. We propose to add a new analytical stage as a sequential next step to the equilibria in the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution and utilize social choice voting rules such as the Borda score, the Plurality rule, the Median voting rule, Copeland’s method, Simpson’s rule, and Fallback bargaining. We also apply a new approach called Related games, where we show how the Leading game impacts the Consequential game’s outcome and equilibria. To demonstrate the proposed concepts, we applied these ideas to two case studies; (1) the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers conflict between Turkey, Syria, and Iraq, and (2) the Shatt al-Arab, which is on the border of Iran and Iraq. Results confirm that adding analytical stages in the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution and considering the Related games concept help decision and policy makers to gain a clearer insight into the conflict.

Their high spatial resolution and thin sensitive layers make them an excellent tool for studying short-lived particles. The Linear Collider Flavour Identification (LCFI) collaboration is developing Column-Parallel CCDs (CPCCDs) for the vertex detector of a future Linear Collider. The CPCCDs can be read out many times faster than standard CCDs, significantly increasing their operating speed. A test stand for measuring the charge transfer inefficiency (CTI) of a prototype CPCCD has been set up. Studies of the CTI have been performed at a range of readout frequencies and operating temperatures.

description: We present results of a spectroscopic search for Lyman-alpha emitters (LAEs) in the Cl1604 supercluster field using the extensive spectroscopic Keck/DEIMOS database taken as part of the Observations of Redshift Evolution in Large Scale Environments (ORELSE) survey. A total of 12 slitmasks were observed and inspected in the Cl1604 field, spanning a survey volume of 1.365x10^4 co-moving Mpc^3. We find a total of 17 high redshift (4.39 < z < 5.67) LAE candidates down to a limiting flux of 1.9x10^(-18) ergs/s/cm (~0.1L* at z~5), 13 of which we classify as high quality. The resulting LAE number density is nearly double that of LAEs found in the Subaru deep field at z~4.9 and nearly an order of magnitude higher than in other surveys of LAEs at similar redshifts, an excess that is essentially independent of LAE luminosity. We also report on the discovery of two possible LAE group structures at z~4.4 and z~4.8 and investigate the effects of cosmic variance of LAEs on our results. Fitting a simple truncated single Gaussian model to a composite spectrum of the 13 high quality LAE candidates, we find a best-fit stellar velocity dispersion of 136 km/s. Additionally, we see modest evidence of a second peak in the composite spectrum, possibly caused by galactic outflows, as well as evidence for a non-trivial Lyman-alpha escape fraction. We find an average LAE star formation rate density (SFRD) of ~5x10^(-3) M_solar/yr/Mpc^3 with moderate evidence for negative evolution in the LAE SFRD from z~4.6 to z~5.7. We measure a best-fit luminosity function generally consistent with measurements from other surveys at similar epochs. Finally, we investigate any possible effects from weak or strong gravitational lensing induced by the foreground supercluster, finding that our LAE candidates are minimally affected by lensing processes.

Personality traits of national representative swimmers : Canada 1962
Creators: name: Parsons, David Roy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The study was an investigation of the personality characteristics of a group of champion swimmers. Thirty-five subjects were divided into two groups, "selected" and "non-selected" champion swimmers. Selection refers to the team named to represent Canada at the VIIth British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Perth, Australia, 1962. Two problems were examined. First, whether or not the champion swimmers employed in this study differed, as a group, from the mean group score of the average general population in any of the sixteen personality factors measured by the test instrument. Second, whether or not there was a difference between the selected and non-selected champion swimmers in the personality areas measured by the test instrument. The writer administered the Cattell "Sixteen Personality Factor Questionnaire" to each of the subjects under standard conditions. This test involved the answering of 374 questions by each subject of the particular test form used by the writer. The subjects did the test only once. The results indicated that the subjects, as a group showed differences from the average population in fifteen of the sixteen factor areas. Only in one factor was the difference between the populations not significant. There appeared to be no significant differences in personality between the groups of selected and non-selected champion swimmers. Individual descriptions of the personalities of members of the selected swimmers group were shown using graphic profiles. The results agree with earlier studies which showed that champion athletes apparently possess marked extremes in personality factor scores.
A local moment approach to the degenerate Anderson impurity model

description: The local moment approach is extended to the orbitally-degenerate [SU(2N)] Anderson impurity model (AIM). Single-particle dynamics are obtained over the full range of energy scales, focussing here on particle-hole symmetry in the strongly correlated regime where the onsite Coulomb interaction leads to many-body Kondo physics with entangled spin and orbital degrees of freedom. The approach captures many-body broadening of the Hubbard satellites, recovers the correct exponential vanishing of the Kondo scale for all N, and its universal scaling spectra are found to be in very good agreement with numerical renormalization group (NRG) results. In particular the high-frequency logarithmic decays of the scaling spectra, obtained here in closed form for arbitrary N, coincide essentially perfectly with available numerics from the NRG. A particular case of an anisotropic Coulomb interaction, in which the model represents a system of N `capacitively-coupled' SU(2) AIMs, is also discussed. Here the model is generally characterised by two low-energy scales, the crossover between which is seen directly in its dynamics.

description: The electronic structure of few-layer graphene (FLG) samples with crystalline order was investigated experimentally by infrared absorption spectroscopy for photon energies ranging from 0.2 - 1 eV. Distinct optical conductivity spectra were observed for different samples having precisely the same number of layers. The different spectra arise from the existence of two stable polytypes of FLG, namely, Bernal (AB) stacking and rhombohedral (ABC) stacking. The observed absorption features, reflecting the underlying symmetry of the two polytypes and the nature of the associated van Hone singularities, were reproduced by explicit calculations within a tight-binding model. The findings demonstrate the pronounced effect of stacking order on the electronic structure of FLG.

description: To measure the IPv6 internet AS-level topology, a network topology discovery system, called Dolphin, was developed. By comparing the measurement result of Dolphin with that of CAIDA's Scamper, it was found that the IPv6 Internet at AS level, similar to other complex networks, is also scale-free but the exponent of its degree distribution is 1.2, which is much smaller than that of the IPv4 Internet and most other scale-free networks. In order to explain this feature of IPv6 Internet we argue that the degree exponent is a measure of uniformity of the degree distribution. Then, for the purpose on modeling the networks, we propose a new model based on the two major factors affecting the exponent of the EBA model. It breaks the lower bound of degree exponent which is 2 for most models. To verify the validity of this model, both theoretical and experimental analyses have been carried out. Finally, we demonstrate how this model can be successfully used to reproduce the topology of the IPv6 Internet.

A Stronger LP Bound for Formula Size Lower Bounds via Clique Constraints

description: We introduce a new technique proving formula size lower bounds based on the linear programming bound originally introduced by Karchmer, Kushilevitz and Nisan [11] and the theory of stable set polytope. We apply it to majority functions and prove their formula size lower bounds improved from the classical result of Khrapchenko [13]. Moreover, we introduce a notion of unbalanced recursive ternary majority functions motivated by a decomposition theory of monotone self-dual functions and give integrally matching upper and lower bounds of their formula size. We also show monotone formula size lower bounds of balanced recursive ternary majority functions improved from the quantum adversary bound of Laplante, Lee and Szegedy [15].

description: We present the results of a numerical simulation of the history and future development of the Pleiades. This study builds on our previous one that established statistically the present-day structure of this system. Our simulation begins just after molecular cloud gas has been expelled by the embedded stars. We then follow, using an N body code, the stellar dynamical evolution of the cluster to the present and beyond. Our initial state is that which evolves, over the 125 Myr age of the cluster, to a configuration most closely matching the current one. We find that the original cluster, newly stripped of gas, already had a virial radius of 4 pc. This configuration was larger than most observed, embedded clusters. Over time, the cluster expanded further and the central surface density fell by about a factor of two. We attribute both effects to the liberation of energy from tightening binaries of short period. Indeed, the original binary fraction was close to unity. The ancient Pleiades also had significant mass segregation, which persists in the cluster today. In the future, the central density of the Pleiades will continue to fall. For the first few hundred Myr, the cluster as a whole will expand because of dynamical heating by binaries. The expansion process is aided by mass loss through stellar evolution, which weakens the system's gravitational binding. At later times, the Galactic tidal field begins to heavily deplete the cluster mass. It is believed that most open clusters are eventually destroyed by close passage of a giant molecular cloud. Barring that eventuality, the density falloff will continue for as long as 1 Gyr, by which time most of the cluster mass will have been tidally stripped away by the Galactic field.

description: Biochemical computing attempts to process information with biomolecules and biological objects. In this work we review our results on analysis and optimization of single biochemical logic gates based on enzymatic reactions, and a network of three gates, for reduction of the "analog" noise buildup. For a single gate, optimization is achieved by analyzing the enzymatic reactions within a framework of kinetic equations. We demonstrate that using co-substrates with much smaller affinities than the primary substrate, a negligible increase in the noise output from the logic gate is obtained as compared to the input noise. A network of enzymatic gates is analyzed by varying selective inputs and fitting standardized few-parameters response functions assumed for each gate. This allows probing of the individual gate quality but primarily yields information on the relative contribution of the gates to noise amplification. The derived information is then used to modify experimental single gate and network systems to operate them in a regime of reduced analog noise amplification.

description: Government of Canada bonds in circulation that promise very similar payoffs can have different prices. We study the reason for these differences. Bonds that trade more often and earn high rental income in the repurchase agreement (repo) market tend to have higher prices. Bonds with longer tenors and times to maturity tend to have lower prices. This contrast between cheap and expensive bonds is important because trading volume and rental income can change rapidly, unlike tenor and time to maturity, which are stable.

description: Les prix des obligations du gouvernement du Canada en circulation qui génèrent des flux de trésorerie très semblables peuvent être différents. Nous étudions ce qui explique cet écart. Les obligations qui se négocient plus souvent et qui produisent des revenus élevés sur le marché des pensions ont tendance à se vendre plus cher. Les prix des obligations dont l’échéance et la durée résiduelle sont longues ont tendance à être plus bas. Ce contraste entre les obligations chères et bon marché est important, parce que le volume des transactions et les revenus associés aux opérations de pension peuvent changer rapidement, contrairement à l’échéance et à la durée résiduelle, qui demeurent stables.

description: The report provides a dashboard of indicators, identifying key barriers and highlighting actionable insights to remove bias, intentional or otherwise, from investment.

Analysing existing and new data, across three interlinked tiers that lead to impact, our report explores whether there are gaps in the deep tech landscape, when they emerge and whether they continue to exist throughout the investment journey.

Spoiler alert: yes, there are gaps; yes, they get worse as start-ups scale; and yes, we can take action to unlock an extra EUR 181 billion for the European economy.
title: The Formation of House Price Expectations in Canada: Evidence from a Randomized Information Experiment
Creators: name: Gosselin, Marc-André

Publisher: name: Bank of Canada
Year: 2019

description: We conduct a randomized information experiment leveraging the Canadian Survey of Consumer Expectations. We provide causal evidence that respondents revise both their short- and medium-term expectations of future house price growth in a way that is consistent with observed short-term momentum in house prices. However, empirically, house price growth tends to revert to its mean in the medium term.

description: Nous effectuons une expérience randomisée axée sur l’information à l’aide de données semblables à celles de l’enquête sur les attentes des consommateurs au Canada. Nous mettons en lumière un lien de causalité indiquant que les répondants revoient leurs attentes à court et à moyen terme à l’égard de la croissance future des prix des logements en fonction de la dynamique observée à court terme. Cependant, d’un point de vue empirique, la croissance des prix des logements a tendance à revenir à sa moyenne à moyen terme.
Decoherence and dephasing in coupled Josephson qubits
Creators: name: Governale, M.

Publisher: name: Universität Regensburg
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: 530 Physik

description: We investigate the decoherence and dephasing of two coupled Josephson qubits. With the interaction between the qubits being generated by current–current correlations, two different situations in which the qubits are coupled to the same bath, or to two independent baths, are considered. Upon focussing on dissipation being caused by the fluctuations of voltage sources, the relaxation and dephasing rates are explicitly evaluated. Analytical and numerical results for the coupled qubits dynamics are provided.

The role of thermodynamics in disc fragmentation

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Thermodynamics play an important role in determining the way a protostellar disc fragments to form planets, brown dwarfs and low-mass stars. We explore the effect that different treatments of radiative transfer have in simulations of fragmenting discs. Three prescriptions for the radiative transfer are used, (i) the diffusion approximation of Stamatellos et al., (ii) the barotropic equation of state (EOS) of Goodwin et al., and (iii) the barotropic EOS of Bate et al. The barotropic approximations capture the general evolution of the density and temperature at the centre of each proto-fragment but (i) they do not make any adjustments the particular circumstances of a proto-fragment forming in the disc, and (ii) they do not take into account thermal inertia effects that are important for fast-forming proto-fragments in the outer disc region. As a result, the number of fragments formed in the disc and their properties are different, when a barotropic EOS is used. This is important not only for disc studies but also for simulations of collapsing turbulent clouds, as in many cases in such simulations stars form with discs that subsequently fragment. We also examine the difference in the way proto-fragments condense out in the disc at different distances from the central star using the diffusion approximation and following the collapse of each proto-fragment until the formation of the second core (~10^{-3} g/cm3). We find that proto-fragments forming closer to the central star tend to form earlier and evolve faster from the first to the second core than proto-fragments forming in the outer disc region. The former have a large pool of material in the inner disc region that they can accrete from and grow in mass. The latter accrete more slowly and they are hotter because they generally form in a quick abrupt event.

Soft Hubbard gaps in disordered itinerant models with short-range interaction
Creators: name: Shinaoka, Hiroshi

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the Anderson-Hubbard model in the Hartree-Fock approximation and the exact diagonalization under the coexistence of short-range interaction and diagonal disorder. We show that there exist unconventional soft gaps, where the single-particle (SP) density of states (DOS) $A$ follows a scaling in energy $E$ as $A(E)\propto \exp[-(-γ\log |E-E_F|)^d]$ irrespective of electron filling and long-range order. Here, $d$ is the spatial dimension, $E_F$ the Fermi energy and $γ$ a non-universal constant. We propose a multi-valley energy landscape as their origin. Possible experiments to verify the present theory are proposed.

Strong Completeness of Coalgebraic Modal Logics
Creators: name: Schröder, Lutz
name: Pattinson, Dirk
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2009
Subjects: subject: Logic in Computer Science (cs.LO)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Canonical models are of central importance in modal logic, in particular as they witness strong completeness and hence compactness. While the canonical model construction is well understood for Kripke semantics, non-normal modal logics often present subtle difficulties - up to the point that canonical models may fail to exist, as is the case e.g. in most probabilistic logics. Here, we present a generic canonical model construction in the semantic framework of coalgebraic modal logic, which pinpoints coherence conditions between syntax and semantics of modal logics that guarantee strong completeness. We apply this method to reconstruct canonical model theorems that are either known or folklore, and moreover instantiate our method to obtain new strong completeness results. In particular, we prove strong completeness of graded modal logic with finite multiplicities, and of the modal logic of exact probabilities.

The transverse shape of the electron

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the charge density, form factors and spin distributions of the electron induced by its |e γ> light-front Fock state in impact parameter space. Only transversally compact Fock states contribute to the leading behavior of the Dirac and Pauli form factors as the momentum transfer tends to infinity. Power suppressed contributions are not compact, and distributions weighted by the transverse size have end-point contributions. The Fock state conserves the spin of the parent electron locally, but the separate contributions of the electron, photon and orbital angular momentum depend on longitudinal momentum and impact parameter. The sign of the anomalous magnetic moment of the electron may be understood intuitively from the density distribution, addressing a challenge by Feynman.

Extending canonical Monte Carlo methods

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: In this work, we discuss the implications of a recently obtained equilibrium fluctuation-dissipation relation on the extension of the available Monte Carlo methods based on the consideration of the Gibbs canonical ensemble to account for the existence of an anomalous regime with negative heat capacities $C<0$. The resulting framework appears as a suitable generalization of the methodology associated with the so-called \textit{dynamical ensemble}, which is applied to the extension of two well-known Monte Carlo methods: the Metropolis importance sample and the Swendsen-Wang clusters algorithm. These Monte Carlo algorithms are employed to study the anomalous thermodynamic behavior of the Potts models with many spin states $q$ defined on a $d$-dimensional hypercubic lattice with periodic boundary conditions, which successfully reduce the exponential divergence of decorrelation time $τ$ with the increase of the system size $N$ to a weak power-law divergence $τ\propto N^α$ with $α\approx0.2$ for the particular case of the 2D 10-state Potts model.
