description: New exact results about the nonequilibrium thermodynamics of open quantum systems at arbitrary timescales are obtained by considering all possible variations of initial conditions of a system, its environment, and correlations between them. First we obtain a new quantum-information theoretic equality for entropy production, valid for an arbitrary initial joint state of system and environment. For any finite-time process with a fixed initial environment, we then show that the contraction of the system's distinction -- relative to the minimally dissipative state -- exactly quantifies its thermodynamic dissipation. The quantum component of this dissipation is the change in coherence relative to the minimally dissipative state. Implications for quantum state preparation and local control are explored. For nonunitary processes -- like the preparation of any particular quantum state -- we find that mismatched expectations lead to divergent dissipation as the actual initial state becomes orthogonal to the anticipated one.

description: This paper discusses a series of Monte Carlo experiments designed to evaluate the empirical properties of heterogeneous-agent macroeconomic models in the presence of sampling variability. The calibration procedure leads to the welfare analysis being conducted with the wrong parameters. The ability of the calibrated model to correctly predict the long-run welfare changes induced by a set of policy experiments is assessed. The results show that, for the policy reforms with sizable welfare effects (i.e., more than 0.2%), the model always predict the right sign of the welfare effects. However, the welfare effects can be evaluated with the wrong sign, when they are small and when the sample size is fairly limited. Quantitatively, the maximum errors made in evaluating a policy change are very small for some reforms (in the order of 0.02 percentage points), but bigger for others (in the order of 0.6 p.p.). Finally, having access to better data, in terms of larger samples, does lead to substantial increases in the precision of the welfare effects estimates, though the rate of convergence can be slow.

description: We have investigated the accuracy of the 1s-vacancy fluorescence data base of Kaastra & Mewe (1993, A&AS, 97, 443) resulting from the initial atomic physics calculations and the subsequent scaling along isoelectronic sequences. In particular, we have focused on the relatively simple Be-like and F-like 1s-vacancy sequences. We find that the earlier atomic physics calculations for the oscillator strengths and autoionization rates of singly-charged B II and Ne II are in sufficient agreement with our present calculations. However, the substantial charge dependence of these quantities along each isoelectronic sequence, the incorrect configuration averaging used for B II, and the neglect of spin-orbit effects (which become important at high-Z) all cast doubt on the reliability of the Kaastra & Mewe data for application to plasma modeling.

description: There is currently a controversy as to whether Voyager 1 has already crossed the Termination Shock, the first boundary of the Heliosphere. The region between the Termination Shock and the Heliopause, the Helisheath, is one of the most unknown regions theoretically. In the Heliosheath magnetic effects are crucial, as the solar magnetic field is compressed at the Termination Shock by the slowing flow. Recently, our simulations showed that the Heliosheath presents remarkable dynamics, with turbulent flows and the presence of a jet flow at the current sheet that is unstable due to magnetohydrodynamic instabilities \cite{opher,opher1}. In this paper we review these recent results, and present an additional simulation with constant neutral atom background. In this case the jet is still present but with reduced intensity. Further study, e.g., including neutrals and the tilt of the solar rotation from the magnetic axis, is required before we can definitively address how the Heliosheath behaves. Already we can say that this region presents remarkable dynamics, with turbulent flows, indicating that the Heliosheath might be very different from what we previously thought.

description: We study several methods of constructing confidence sets for the coefficient of the single right-hand-side endogenous variable in a linear equation with weak instruments. Two of these are based on conditional likelihood ratio (CLR) tests, and the others are based on inverting t statistics or the bootstrap P values associated with them. We propose a new method for constructing bootstrap confidence sets based on t statistics. In large samples, the procedures that generally work best are CLR confidence sets using asymptotic critical values and bootstrap confidence sets based on LIML estimates.

description: We present a first-principles study of a coherent relationship between the optimized geometry and conductance of a three-aluminum-atom wire during its elongation process. Our simulation employs the most definite model including semi-infinite crystalline electrodes using the overbridging boundary-matching method [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 67}, 195315 (2003)] extended to incorporate nonlocal pseudopotentials. The results that the conductance of the wire is $\sim$ 1 G$_0$ and the conductance trace as a function of electrode spacing shows a convex downward curve before breaking are in agreement with experimental data.

description: This paper is a follow up of the article where Lemaire and Stegen (2016) introduced their DYN method to calculate coronal temperature profiles from given radial distributions of the coronal and solar wind (SW) electron densities. Several such temperature profiles are calculated and presented corresponding to a set of given empirical density models derived from eclipse observations and in-situ measurements of the electron density and bulk velocity at 1 AU. The DYN temperature profiles obtained for the equatorial and polar regions of the corona challenge the results deduced since 1958 from singular hydrodynamical models of the SW. In these models - where the expansion velocity transits through a singular saddle point - the maximum coronal temperature is predicted to be located at the base of the corona, while in all DYN models the altitude of the maximum temperature is found at significantly higher altitudes in the mid-corona. Furthermore, the maximum of the DYN-estimated temperatures is found at much higher altitudes over the polar regions and coronal holes, than over the equator. However, at low altitudes, in the inner corona, the DYN temperatures are always smaller at high latitudes, than at low equatorial latitudes. This appears well in agreement with existing coronal hole observations. These findings have serious implications on the open questions: what is the actual source of the coronal heating, and where is the maximum energy deposited within the solar corona?

description: The Bird Impact Monitor is a project inspired by SEEDS and their initiative on creating bird-friendly technology. UBC happens to be on the migrating path for many bird species and birds have important roles in the ecosystem. Previously studies commissioned by SEEDs estimated that over 10,000 die due to window collision on campus. The purpose of this project is to collect real-time bird impact data to help SEEDs implement a bird-friendly building guideline and for researchers to better understand birds' behavior. Our goal is be replace the manual data collection done by SEEDS in previous years with an automated system that is able to detect bird impacts more accurately and with minimal maintenance. More detailed outlines can be found the the Requirements document. The device is made of two sections: the detection system and the communication system. The detection system consists of an accelerometer connected to an Arduino Uno Wifi Rev 2. The accelerometer will be installed on the windows and transmits analog data to the Arduino for analysis and identification. Once an impact is identified, the Arduino will send data to MyDevices Cayenne over Wifi. The client will be able to access and visualize the data using Cayenne. The prototype we have developed is able to satisfy all of SEEDs requirements, in particular, it accurately detects bird impact with a 95% accuracy while rejecting environmental disturbances, it costs less than $80 per unit, and obstructs less than 10% of the window. Further recommendations to the project are out-lined in the design documents and will serve as guidelines for future projects for improvements and scalability.

description: While chiral spin structures stabilized by Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) are candidates as novel information carriers, their dynamics on the fs-ps timescale is little known. Since with the bulk Heisenberg exchange and the interfacial DMI two distinct exchange mechanisms are at play, the ultra-fast dynamics of the chiral order needs to be ascertained and compared to the dynamics of the conventional collinear order. Using an XUV free-electron laser we determine the fs-ps temporal evolution of the chiral order in domain walls in a magnetic thin film sample by an IR pump - X-ray magnetic scattering probe experiment. Upon demagnetisation we observe that the dichroic (CL-CR) signal connected with the chiral order correlator $m_z m_x$ in the domain walls recovers significantly faster than the (CL+CR) sum signal representing the average collinear domain magnetisation $m_z^2 + m_x^2$. We explore possible explanations based on spin structure dynamics and reduced transversal magnetisation fluctuations inside the domain walls and find that the latter can explain the experimental data leading to different dynamics for collinear magnetic order and chiral magnetic order.

A Stochastic Liouville Equation Approach for the Effect of Noise in Quantum Computations

description: We propose a model based on a generalized effective Hamiltonian for studying the effect of noise in quantum computations. The system-environment interactions are taken into account by including stochastic fluctuating terms in the system Hamiltonian. Treating these fluctuations as Gaussian Markov processes with zero mean and delta function correlation times, we derive an exact equation of motion describing the dissipative dynamics for a system of n qubits. We then apply this model to study the effect of noise on the quantum teleportation and a generic quantum controlled-NOT (CNOT) gate. For the quantum CNOT gate, we study the effect of noise on a set of one- and two-qubit quantum gates, and show that the results can be assembled together to investigate the quality of a quantum CNOT gate operation. We compute the averaged gate fidelity and gate purity for the quantum CNOT gate, and investigate phase, bit-flip, and flip-flop errors during the CNOT gate operation. The effects of direct inter-qubit coupling and fluctuations on the control fields are also studied. We discuss the limitations and possible extensions of this model. In sum, we demonstrate a simple model that enables us to investigate the effect of noise in arbitrary quantum circuits under realistic device conditions.

description: This paper presents a comprehensive review of the last two decades of research on Kidney Exchange Programs (KEPs), systematically categorizing and classifying key contributions to provide readers with a structured understanding of advancements in the field. The review highlights the evolution of KEP methodologies and lays the foundation for our contribution. We propose three mathematical models aimed at improving both the quantity and quality of kidney transplants. Model 1 maximizes the number of transplants by focusing on compatibility based on blood type and PRA, without additional constraints. Model 2 introduces a minimum Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) compatibility threshold to enhance transplant quality, though this leads to fewer matches. Model 3 extends the problem to a Multi-Agent Kidney Exchange Program (MKEP), pooling incompatible donor-recipient pairs across multiple agents, resulting in a higher number of successful transplants while ensuring fairness across agents. Sensitivity analyses demonstrate trade-offs between transplant quantity and quality, with Model 3 striking the optimal balance by leveraging multi-agent collaboration to improve both the number and quality of transplants. These findings underscore the potential benefits of more integrated kidney exchange systems.

description: We derive analytical expressions for the generalization performance of kernel regression as a function of the number of training samples using theoretical methods from Gaussian processes and statistical physics. Our expressions apply to wide neural networks due to an equivalence between training them and kernel regression with the Neural Tangent Kernel (NTK). By computing the decomposition of the total generalization error due to different spectral components of the kernel, we identify a new spectral principle: as the size of the training set grows, kernel machines and neural networks fit successively higher spectral modes of the target function. When data are sampled from a uniform distribution on a high-dimensional hypersphere, dot product kernels, including NTK, exhibit learning stages where different frequency modes of the target function are learned. We verify our theory with simulations on synthetic data and MNIST dataset.

Effectiveness of Isolation Policies in Schools: Evidence from a Mathematical Model of Influenza and COVID-19

description: Background Non-pharmaceutical interventions such as social distancing, school closures and travel restrictions are often implemented to control outbreaks of infectious diseases. For influenza in schools, the Center of Disease Control (CDC) recommends that febrile students remain isolated at home until they have been fever-free for at least one day and a related policy is recommended for SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19). Other authors proposed using a school week of four or fewer days of in-person instruction for all students to reduce transmission. However, there is limited evidence supporting the effectiveness of these interventions. Methods We introduced a mathematical model of school outbreaks that considers both intervention methods. Our model accounts for the school structure and schedule, as well as the time-progression of fever symptoms and viral shedding. The model was validated on outbreaks of seasonal and pandemic influenza and COVID-19 in schools. It was then used to estimate the outbreak curves and the proportion of the population infected (attack rate) under the proposed interventions. Results For influenza, the CDC-recommended one day of post-fever isolation can reduce the attack rate by a median (interquartile range) of 29 (13–59)%. With 2 days of post-fever isolation the attack rate could be reduced by 70 (55–85)%. Alternatively, shortening the school week to 4 and 3 days reduces the attack rate by 73 (64–88)% and 93 (91–97)%, respectively. For COVID-19, application of post-fever isolation policy was found to be less effective and reduced the attack rate by 10 (5–17)% for a 2-day isolation policy and by 14 (5–26)% for 14 days. A 4-day school week would reduce the median attack rate in a COVID-19 outbreak by 57 (52–64)%, while a 3-day school week would reduce it by 81 (79–83)%. In both infections, shortening the school week significantly reduced the duration of outbreaks. Conclusions Shortening the school week could be an important tool for controlling influenza and COVID-19 in schools and similar settings. Additionally, the CDC-recommended post-fever isolation policy for influenza could be enhanced by requiring two days of isolation instead of one

description: (abridged) Star formation in the Taurus--Auriga (TA) molecular clouds is producing binary-rich aggregates containing at most a few dozen systems within a region spanning one pc without massive stars. This environment is very different to another well-studied star-forming event which produced the Orion Nebula cluster (ONC). Differences between these two environments have been found. Notably, the ONC has a significantly smaller binary proportion but a significantly larger number of isolated brown dwarfs per star than TA. This paper focusses on the dynamical evolution of the TA aggregates and the changes in their binary populations with an emphasis on the brown-dwarf properties.

description: Fermat's principle applied to a flat metric in the plane yields the phase of a Bessel function in the periodic domain for a constant index of refraction. Gravitational forces cause the index of refraction to vary and lead to a modified phase of the Bessel function. A distinction is made between the forces that cause acceleration: the gravitational force affects the optical properties of the medium whereas the centrifugal force does not, the latter being built into the phase of oscillations of the Bessel function. The time delay in radar echoes from planets is determined from Fermat's principle where the velocity of light is the phase velocity and the index of refraction varies on account of the gravitational potential. The deflection of light by a massive body is shown to be produced by a quadrupole interaction, and the perihelion shift requires both the gravitational potential, producing a closed orbit, and the quadrupole, causing the perihelion to rotate.

description: We introduce a prototype model for globally-coupled oscillators in which each element is given an oscillation frequency and a preferential oscillation direction (polarization), both randomly distributed. We found two collective transitions: to phase synchronization and to polarization ordering. Introducing a global-phase and a polarization order parameters, we show that the transition to global-phase synchrony is found when the coupling overcomes a critical value and that polarization order enhancement can not take place before global-phase synchrony. We develop a self-consistent theory to determine both order parameters in good agreement with numerical results.

description: We present the first rest-frame ~4 micron detection of a Lyman break galaxy. The data were obtained using the 16 micron imaging capability of the Spitzer Infrared Spectrograph. The target object, J134026.44+634433.2, is an extremely luminous Lyman break galaxy at z=2.79 first identified in Sloan Digital Sky Survey spectra (Bentz, Osmer, & Weinberg 2004). The source is strongly detected with a flux of 0.94 +/- 0.02 mJy. Combining Spitzer and SDSS photometry with supporting ground-based J- and K-band data, we show that the spectral energy distribution is consistent with an actively star-forming galaxy. We also detect other objects in the Spitzer field of view, including a very red MIR source. We find no evidence of a strong lens amongst the MIR sources.

description: Let $Σ$ be a surface with either boundary or marked points, equipped with an arbitrary framing. In this note we determine the action of the associated "framed mapping class group" on the homology of $Σ$ relative to its boundary (respectively marked points), describing the image as the kernel of a certain crossed homomorphism related to classical spin structures. Applying recent work of the authors, we use this to describe the monodromy action of the orbifold fundamental group of a stratum of abelian differentials on the relative periods.

description: Spectral weight is investigated for metallic diagonal stripe state in two dimensional Hubbard model, and Fermi arc observed by angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy on LSCO is discussed. The Fermi arc coming from the mid-gap state of diagonal stripe appears near $(\fracπ{2},\fracπ{2})$ and equivalent position in the reciprocal space, and the gap opens below the mid-gap state. We show how these spectral weight structure depends on the phasing of stripes, i.e., site-centered or bond-centered stripes.

description: In this paper we investigate the long-time behavior of the subordination of the constant speed traveling waves by a general class of kernels. We use the Feller--Karamata Tauberian theorem in order to study the long-time behavior of the upper and lower wave. As a result we obtain the long-time behavior for the propagation of the front of the wave.

description: We study a principal-agent model in which the agent is boundedly rational in his ability to understand the principal’s decision rule. The principal wishes to elicit an agent’s true profile in order to determine whether or not to grant him a certain request. The principal designs a questionnaire and commits himself to accepting certain responses. In designing such a questionnaire, the principal takes into account the bounded rationality of the agent and wishes to reduce the success probability of a dishonest agent who is trying to game the system. It is shown that the principal can construct a sufficiently complex questionnaire that will allow him to respond optimally to agents who tell the truth and at the same time to almost eliminate the probability that a dishonest agent will succeed in cheating.
Breaking Ground UBC Soil Asset Management Plan
Creators: name: Shah, Tabinda
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2020

description: This paper explores the concept of natural capital applied to soil as a component of green infrastructure, and thereby support the advancement of improved urban forest management practices across campus. This work helps position Building Operations, Campus and Community Planning and Sustainability Engineers in a better place to deal with the complex decision-making that comes with managing soil in a holistic, sustainable and logical manner. It advances UBC as an innovative leader in the realm of sustainable urban development and growth, and recognizes the role that the UN Sustainable Development Goals play in this capacity. The research presented in this paper hopes to achieve three outcomes: 1. To provide a rationale for why UBC Building Operations should consider integrating soil in their new infrastructure asset management software, Planon. 2. To provide a data inventory framework that UBC Building Operations, Campus + Community Planning (C+CP), Academics and Sustainability + Engineering can use to develop management objectives and actions for a green infrastructure asset management plan. 3. To share potential and existing data sources that would address any knowledge gaps found in the data inventory framework for soil. These outcomes are intended to support ongoing initiatives from Campus + Community and Building Operations that deliver nature-based solutions to scalable challenges, such as: public heath; public recreation;, climate adaptation and mitigation; infrastructure repairs and maintenance, and storm-water management.

description: Let $L$ be an alternating prime non-split link in $S^3$. We use the category of flypes between reduced alternating diagrams for $L$ to classify involutions on $L$. As consequences, we show that the quotient of an alternating periodic link is alternating, and that all freely 2-periodic alternating links have an even number of components.

description: We investigate the production of the novel $P$-wave mesons $D^{*}_{0}$ and $D^{\prime}_{1} (D_{1})$, identified as $J^{P}=0^+$ and $1^+$, in heavy $B$ meson decays, respectively. With the heavy quark limit, we give our modelling wave functions for the scalar meson $D^{*}_{0}$. Based on the assumptions of color transparency and factorization theorem, we estimate the branching ratios of $B\to D^{*}_{0} π$ decays in terms of the obtained wave functions. Some remarks on $D^{(\prime)}_{1}$ productions are also presented.

description: It is argued that, contrary to a rather prevalent view within economic theory, rationality does not imply Bayesianism. The note begins by defining these terms and justifying the choice of these definitions, proceeds to survey the main justification for this prevalent view, and concludes by highlighting its weaknesses.

description: The infamous strong CP problem in particle physics can in principle be solved by a massless up quark. In particular, it was hypothesized that topological effects could substantially contribute to the observed nonzero up-quark mass without reintroducing CP violation. Alternatively to previous work using fits to chiral perturbation theory, in this Letter, we bound the strength of the topological mass contribution with direct lattice QCD simulations, by computing the dependence of the pion mass on the dynamical strange-quark mass. We find that the size of the topological mass contribution is inconsistent with the massless up-quark solution to the strong CP problem.

description: We study the interferometric observation of intensity and polarization anisotropies of a stochastic gravitational wave background (SGWB). We show that the observed correlated data is defined in the group manifold of the three-dimensional rotation. Explicit correlation between two detectors in the interferometry experiments such as LIGO-Virgo and KAGRA is constructed in terms of the Wigner D-functions. Our results may provide a tool for constructing data pipelines to estimate the power spectra of the SGWB anisotropies.

description: I implement a basic tool of financial markets—namely, a portfolio—into student loans. In higher education funding, credit market loans (CMLs) lead to underinvestment, while income-contingent loans (ICLs) produce over-investment. This research introduces a ‘portfolio regime’ (PR), which allows students to combine CMLs and ICLs. The model assumes that agents privately invest in higher education after receiving a noisy signal about their future incomes. The article compares a PR with a ‘competition regime’ (CR), which allows students to choose one type of loan but prohibits a portfolio. The key insight is that implementation of a PR may improve the efficiency of investment in higher education and social welfare. Nevertheless, the PR does not maximize social welfare because of adverse selection into ICL programs.
