description: The parametric motion of energy levels for non-interacting electrons at the Anderson localization critical point is studied by computing the energy level-curvatures for a quasiperiodic ring with twisted boundary conditions. We find a critical distribution which has the universal random matrix theory form ${\bar P}(K)\sim |K|^{-3}$ for large level-curvatures $|K|$ corresponding to quantum diffusion, although overall it is close to approximate log-normal statistics corresponding to localization. The obtained hybrid distribution resembles the critical distribution of the disordered Anderson model and makes a connection to recent experimental data.

description: We present an overview of the GOTHAM (GBT Observations of TMC-1: Hunting Aromatic Molecules) Large Program on the Green Bank Telescope. This and a related program were launched to explore the depth and breadth of aromatic chemistry in the interstellar medium at the earliest stages of star formation, following our earlier detection of benzonitrile ($c$-C$_6$H$_5$CN) in TMC-1. In this work, details of the observations, use of archival data, and data reduction strategies are provided. Using these observations, the interstellar detection of propargyl cyanide (HCCCH$_2$CN) is described, as well as the accompanying laboratory spectroscopy. We discuss these results, and the survey project as a whole, in the context of investigating a previously unexplored reservoir of complex, gas-phase molecules in pre-stellar sources. A series of companion papers describe other new astronomical detections and analyses.

description: Rates of Brazilian export and agricultural production have increased sharply over the last years, affected mainly by the significant increase of Chinese economic power. Since agribusiness has become important in the export array, Brazil has been facing problems with high costs of land transportation and disability of its ports, especially Santos, Paranaguá, Vitória and Rio Grande, which have a very important role in flowing agribusiness products in Brazil. Thus, the Brazilian soybean is not competitive when compared to its two main competitors, Argentina and the United States. A logistics alternative to export the grain is the use of ports in the Pacific Ocean and that links with the recently launched, fully paved, Transoceanic highway. This paper presents three possible scenarios that simulate the limited capacity of the warehouses of the four main Brazilian ports exporting soybeans, and is verified the importance of ports of Ilo (Peru) and Arica (Chile) to supply a casual crash logistics in Brazilian ports. After the simulation, some reflections on the needs of logistics improvements are inferred to increase the competitiveness of the Brazilian soybean.

Dual-task performance of visually guided action and perception
Creators: name: Liu, Geniva
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A currently influential theory of human vision (Milner & Goodale, 1995) posits the existence of two independent streams of visual processing: a ventral system for the conscious perception of objects and a dorsal system for the dynamic guidance of actions toward objects. This theory also proposes that action planning is controlled by the ventral stream, whereas action execution is controlled by the dorsal stream. What is left unspecified by this theory, however, is whether this functional independence also applies to the attentional mechanisms available to each system. To examine this question, a series of experiments was conducted to measure dual-task interference between tasks involving perception and action. One task required the visual identification of one object at the center of gaze, while the other task required concurrently pointing to a second object that appeared in the visual periphery. The online control functions of the dorsal stream were indexed by displacing the pointing target following movement initiation. Results indicated that successful performance of visual identification lead to interference in the planning, but not in the execution of action (Experiments 1, 2, 5, & 6), and this held for movements that were initiated before, during, or after presentation of the identification target (Experiment 3). When a speed stress was placed on pointing, dual-task costs were also observed in the execution and online control of action (Experiment 4). Furthermore, when action execution was forced to rely on ventral stream processes, either by spatially displacing the action from the target (Experiment 7) or by making the action based upon memory (Experiment 8), then visual identification interfered with both the planning and execution of action. These results support some independence in the attentional mechanisms used for ventral and dorsal tasks. Specifically, action planning shares attentional mechanisms with visual identification, but action execution as performed by the dorsal stream does not rely on these mechanisms.

description: We construct models with the Gauss-Bonnet term multiplied to a function of the scalar field leading to inflationary scenario. The consideration is related with the slow-roll approximation. The cosmological attractor approach gives the spectral index of scalar perturbations which is in a good agreement with modern observation and allows variability for tensor-to-scalar ratio. We reconstruct models with variability of parameters which allow to reproduce cosmological attractor predictions for inflationary parameters in the leading order of $1/N$ approximation in the Einstein-Gauss-Bonnet gravity.

description: The globular cluster NGC 6440 is known to harbor a bright neutron-star X-ray transient. We observed the globular cluster with Chandra on two occasions when the bright transient was in its quiescent state in July 2000 and June 2003 (both observations were made nearly 2 years after the end of their preceding outbursts). The quiescent spectrum during the first observation is well represented by a two component model (a neutron-star atmosphere model plus a power-law component which dominates at energies above 2 keV). During the second observation (which was roughly of equal duration to the first observation) we found that the power-law component could no longer be detected. Our spectral fits indicate that the effective temperature of the neutron-star surface was consistent between the two observations. We conclude that the effect of the change in power-law component caused the 0.5-10 keV flux to be a factor of ~2 lower during the second observation compared to the first observation. We discuss plausible explanations for the variations, including variable residual accretion onto the neutron star magnetosphere or some variation in the interaction of the pulsar wind with the matter still outflowing from the companion star.

description: The dynamics of the subatomic fundamental particles, represented by quantum fields, and their interactions are determined uniquely by the assigned transformation properties, i.e., the quantum numbers associated with the underlying symmetry of the model. These fields constitute a finite number of group invariant operators which are assembled to build a polynomial, known as the Lagrangian. The order of the polynomial is determined by the mass dimension. In this paper, we have introduced a Mathematica package, GrIP, that computes the complete set of operators that form a basis at each such order for a model containing any number of fields transforming under connected compact groups. The spacetime symmetry is restricted to the Lorentz group. The first part of the paper is dedicated to formulating the algorithm of GrIP. In this context, the detailed and explicit construction of the characters of different representations corresponding to connected compact groups and respective Haar measures have been discussed in terms of the coordinates of their respective maximal torus. In the second part, we have documented the user manual of GrIP that captures the generic features and guides to prepare the input file. This program works very efficiently to find out the higher mass (non-supersymmetric) and canonical (supersymmetric) dimensional operators relevant to the Effective Field Theory. We have demonstrated the working principles with two examples:- the SM and the MSSM. We have further highlighted important features of GrIP, e.g., identification of effective operators leading to specific rare processes linked with the violation of baryon and lepton numbers, using several BSM scenarios. We have also tabulated a complete set of dimension-6 operators for each such model. Some of the operators possess rich flavour structures which are discussed in detail. This work paves the way towards BSM-EFT.

description: We present the results of a near-infrared adaptive optics survey with the aim to detect close companions to Hipparcos members in the three subgroups of the nearby OB association Sco OB2: Upper Scorpius (US), Upper Centaurus Lupus (UCL) and Lower Centaurus Crux (LCC). We have targeted 199 A-type and late B-type stars in the Ks band, and a subset also in the J and H band. We find 151 stellar components other than the target stars. A brightness criterion is used to separate these components into 77 background stars and 74 candidate physical companion stars. Out of these 74 candidate companions, 41 have not been reported before (14 in US; 13 in UCL; 14 in LCC). Companion star masses range from 0.1 to 3 Msun. The mass ratio distribution follows f(q) = q^-0.33, which excludes random pairing. No close (rho < 3.75'') companion stars or background stars are found in the magnitude range 12 < Ks < 14. The lack of stars with these properties cannot be explained by low-number statistics, and may imply a lower limit on the companion mass of ~ 0.1 Msun. Close stellar components with Ks > 14 are observed. If these components are very low-mass companion stars, a gap in the companion mass distribution might be present. The small number of close low-mass companion stars could support the embryo-ejection formation scenario for brown dwarfs. Our findings are compared with and complementary to visual, spectroscopic, and astrometric data on binarity in Sco OB2. We find an overall companion star fraction of 0.52 in this association. This paper is the first step toward our goal to derive the primordial binary population in Sco OB2.

description: $\rm Sr_2IrO_4$ is an archetypal spin-orbit-coupled Mott insulator and has been extensively studied in part because of a wide range of predicted novel states. Limited experimental characterization of these states thus far brings to light the extraordinary susceptibility of the physical properties to the lattice, particularly, the Ir-O-Ir bond angle. Here, we report a newly observed microscopic rotation of the IrO$_6$ octahedra below 50~K measured by single crystal neutron diffraction. This sharp lattice anomaly provides keys to understanding the anomalous low-temperature physics and a direct confirmation of a crucial role that the Ir-O-Ir bond angle plays in determining the ground state. Indeed, as also demonstrated in this study, applied electric current readily weakens the antiferromagnetic order via the straightening of the Ir-O-Ir bond angle, highlighting that even slight change in the local structure can disproportionately affect the physical properties in the spin-orbit-coupled system.

description: e present Near Infrared imaging polarimetry of three regions of massive star formation, G$192.16 - 3.82$, Cepheus A, and W42. In W42 we have discovered a new bipolar nebula located at the far side of the HII region behind the visible cluster of exciting stars. The axis of this new nebula is aligned with the magnetic field threading the entire cluster region. Polarization in the bipolar outflow nebulosity associated with G192.16 is consistent with a single illuminating source, too faint to be detected at $2 \micron$. Polarization in the reflection nebulosity associated with Ceph A requires more than one illuminating source, although HW2 is clearly dominant. In all three objects, the magnetic field in the outflow at distances greater than $\sim 0.2$ pc is radial. In G192.16 the magnetic field geometry closer than $\sim 0.2$ pc to the embedded star appears chaotic. For G192.16 the outflow is not aligned with the surrounding magnetic field, which lies in the galactic plane. In Ceph A, the outflow axis could be interpreted as being aligned with the galactic plane, but the magnetic field threading the region is not. Only in the case of W42 is the magnetic field threading the HII region aligned with the mean field in the surrounding galactic plane.

description: We report the electromagnetically-induced-transparency (EIT) cooling of a large trapped $^{171}$Yb$^+$ ion chain to the quantum ground state. Unlike conventional EIT cooling, we engage a four-level tripod structure and achieve fast sub-Doppler cooling over all motional modes. We observe simultaneous ground-state cooling across the complete transverse mode spectrum of up to $40$ ions, occupying a bandwidth of over $3$ MHz. The cooling time is observed to be less than $300\,μ$s, independent of the number of ions. Such efficient cooling across the entire spectrum is essential for high-fidelity quantum operations using trapped ion crystals for quantum simulators or quantum computers.

title: Experiences with technical debt in parallel multi-disciplinary production systems engineering

Subjects: subject: Technical debt

subject: data exchange

description: Technical debt (TD) is a well-researched area in software engineering (SE), to communicate the long term negative effects and impact of short term solutions. Most TD research focuses mainly on software code and its implications, whereas in other disciplines, such as parallel multi-disciplinary systems engineering, the engineering of large and long-running automation systems, TD is a relatively recent concept. A central similarity of production system engineering (PSE) to SE is the integration of partial results from different workgroups, who are working simultaneously on data artifacts which need to be combined later in the process. To better understand this business process and in further steps improve it, we analysed TD in the context of engineering data exchange. We identified two main categories Technical Debt in Knowledge Representation and in Exchange Process. Re-enforcing relationships were identified, similar to contagious debt in software engineering, that reproduced to other workgroups or later phases in the process, as well as multiple causes for TD. The research approach was a case study in the context of exchanging engineering artefacts in one PSE company to identify TD causes, items and effects through technical debt analysis. We validated the results a) in a qualitative way by conducting semi-structured interviews, with representative from the investigated company and a similar company to refine and test findings and b) through quantitative results from an online survey with practitioners. The initial results, although of small sample size, showed promising results in the industry domain and for multi-disciplinary industrial contexts. The results indicate, that our TD taxonomy is applicable for other companies as well. More validation and focus on other domains of TD could be topics for future research.

description: Recent angle-resolved RABBITT experiments have shown that the photoionization time delay depends on the emission angle of the photoelectron. In this work we demonstrate that for photoemission from helium accompanied by shake-up (correlation satellites), the angular variation of the time delay is dramatically enhanced by the dipolar coupling between the photoelectron and the highly polarizable bound electron in the IR field. We show that the additivity rule for the time delays due to the atomic potential, the continuum-continuum (cc) coupling by the IR field, and due to this two-electron process remains valid for angle-resolved RABBITT. Our results are expected to be also applicable to other multi-electron systems that are highly polarizable or feature a permanent dipole moment.

description: Fe filled carbon nanotubes were synthesized by atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition using a simple mixture of iron acetylacetonate with a conventional photoresist and the effect of growth temperature from 550 to 950 °C on Fe filled nanotubes has been studied. Scanning electron microscopy results show that, as the growth temperature increases from 550 to 950 °C, the average diameter of the nanotubes increases while their number density decreases. High resolution transmission electron microscopy along with energy dispersive X-ray investigation shows that the nanotubes have a multi-walled structure with partial Fe filling for all growth temperatures. The graphitic nature of the nanotubes was observed via X-ray diffraction pattern. Raman analysis demonstrates that the degree of graphitization of the carbon nanotubes depends upon the growth temperature.

description: On the basis of connotation of urbanization, by using SPSS factor analysis and cluster analysis, we establish index system of urbanization development level and conduct quantitative analysis on development level of urbanization in 17 prefecture-level city of Anhui Province, in order to find out the differentiation pattern of regional space of urbanization development in Anhui Province based on these. The results show that Anhui’s difference of urbanization gradient is prominent. Classification of three clusters shows that the pattern of status quo of urbanization development in Anhui Province is “dual-nucleus” and “two-stretches”; classification of five clusters show that the pattern of status quo of urbanization development in Anhui Province is “one-core”, “one- strip” and “three-region”. From five aspects, namely natural geography, transportation location, resources distribution, economic development and administrative system, we analyze the reason and influencing factors of differentiation of urbanization development in the region. The results of three clusters and five clusters show that there is great possibility that “dual-nucleus” changes into “individual-nucleus”; “one-core” and “one-strip” may evolve into “one-group”. We should foster the urban agglomeration in central Anhui; perfect structure system in the perspective of integration and fostering; strengthen infrastructure construction and regional coordination system; elevate comprehensive competitiveness and guide holistic development of regional economy; promote industrialization process and promote development level of urbanization.

description: Based on the analysis of the factors affecting the migration of peasant workers and the explanation of becoming permanent urban residents, this research takes migration mode (migration) as the dependent variable, sex (sex), age (age), monthly income (income), education degree (edu), working experiences (exp), social relation (relation), and social security (security) as the independent variables. According to the investigation of China Agricultural University in the year 2009, Logistic Binary Choice Model is used to construct the corresponding econometric model and to measure the effects of influencing factors on the selection of migration mode. Result shows that education degree, personal ability, social relation, and social security are the major influencing factors determining the peasant households becoming permanent urban residents; and human capital and social security construction are of great significance to the improvement of farmers’ income and life quality.

description: We propose a probabilistic framework for performing simultaneous estimation of source structure and fringe-fitting parameters in Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations. As a first step, we demonstrate this technique through the analysis of synthetic short-duration Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) observations of various geometric source models at 230 GHz, in the presence of baseline-dependent thermal noise. We perform Bayesian parameter estimation and model selection between the different source models to obtain reliable uncertainty estimates and correlations between various source and fringe-fitting related model parameters. We also compare the Bayesian posteriors with those obtained using widely-used VLBI data reduction packages such as CASA and AIPS, by fringe-fitting 200 Monte Carlo simulations of each source model with different noise realisations, to obtain distributions of the Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) estimates. We find that, in the presence of resolved asymmetric source structure and a given array geometry, the traditional practice of fringe-fitting with a point source model yields appreciable offsets in the estimated phase residuals, potentially biasing or limiting the dynamic range of the starting model used for self-calibration. Simultaneously estimating the source structure earlier in the calibration process with formal uncertainties improves the precision and accuracy of fringe-fitting and establishes the potential of the available data especially when there is little prior information. We also note the potential applications of this method to astrometry and geodesy for specific science cases and the planned improvements to the computational performance and analyses of more complex source distributions.

A cause worth fighting for : Chinese Canadians debate their participation in the Second World War
Creators: name: Maxwell, Judy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This paper uses the collective oral histories of the Chinese Canadian veterans, sixty years after their service in the Second World War, to explore the little-known debates that ensued in the Vancouver and Victoria Chinese Canadian communities when the men were called up in 1944 for compulsory military service. These debates uncover how Chinese Canadians understood their position in the community and the relationship that they saw existing between military service and citizenship. When Canada entered the Second World War on 10 September 1939, tens of thousands of white Canadians enlisted for military duty, while "Orientals" were barred from serving. As military service had long been seen as the ultimate test of citizenship, the government anticipated that disenfranchised people who served Canada during the war would return home and make claims for equality and for all the privileges of citizenship, including the right to vote. Thus, by denying them the opportunity to serve, the government would save itself the humiliating task of defending its undemocratic position. This all changed in August 1944 when Pacific Command called up the Chinese in British Columbia under the National Resources Mobilization Act. The British War Office had pressured Ottawa to recruit Chinese Canadians for employment in Special Operations Executive (SOE) throughout Southeast Asia in territories under Japanese control. This was the opportunity that many Chinese Canadians had been anxiously waiting for; for others, however, compulsory military service was resented. When the 1944 directive came down from Ottawa for the Chinese community to mobilize, hundreds assembled in both Vancouver and Victoria to discuss whether they should accept or reject the call to compulsory military service. Although the Chinese population in BC was relatively small, there was, in fact, a considerable clash of opinions. Ultimately, it was agreed that their objective should be to obtain full citizenship rights by serving in the armed forces. Exploring the 1944 conscription debates uncovers valuable insights into reasons both for and against military wartime service, peoples' loyalties, as well as how they saw citizenship, community, and how they identified themselves. The military service of Chinese Canadians would prove their worthiness and would secure the government's complete support for their goal, as well as the collective granting of full citizenship rights to all Asian Canadians, regardless of whether or not they fought in the Second World War. These vanguards understood that military service would, ultimately, bring about equality.

description: We present a relativistic dynamical model of pion photoproduction on the nucleon in the resonance region. It offers several advances over the existing approaches. The model is obtained by extending our $πN$-scattering description to the electromagnetic channels. The resulting photopion amplitude is thus unitary in the $πN$, $\ga N$ channel space, Watson's theorem is exactly satisfied. At this stage we have included the pion, nucleon, $\De(1232)$-resonance degrees of freedom. The $ρ$ and $ω$ meson exchanges are also included, but play a minor role in the considered energy domain (up to $\sqrt{s}=1.5$ GeV). In this energy range the model provides a good description of all the important multipoles. We have allowed for only two free parameters -- the photocouplings of the $Δ$-resonance. These couplings are adjusted to reproduce the strength of corresponding resonant-multipoles $M_{1+}$ and $E_{1+}$ at the resonance position.

description: We discuss the definition of velocity as dE/dp, where E,p are the energy and momentum of a particle, in Doubly Special Relativity (DSR). If this definition matches dx/dt appropriate for the space-time sector, then space-time can in principle be built consistently with the existence of an invariant length scale. We show that, within different possible velocity definitions, a space-time compatible with momentum-space DSR principles can not be derived.

Psychiatric terminology : are mental health practitioners speaking the same language?
Creators: name: McCarthy, Natalia Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Mental health practitioners working in an interdisciplinary environment use psychopathology descriptors to formulate diagnoses, evaluate treatment response and communicate about patient care. Few studies have examined the specific meanings that practitioners ascribe to psychopathology descriptors. It is not clear whether practitioners attribute similar meanings to technical terms or if they effectively communicate these meanings to one another. Transcripts of 14 interviews with mental health practitioners in a provincial psychiatric hospital are analysed to determine whether variations exist in understood meanings of the terms manipulates and bizarre delusion. A rating scale is used to measure the degree of disagreement caused by 15 commonly used psychopathology descriptors. The findings suggest that interpretive variations and disagreements occur among interdisciplinary team members. This may result in negative outcomes for interdisciplinary teamwork and patient care. Further research and education are indicated.

description: To sense the texture of a surface, we run our fingers across it, which leads to the elicitation of skin vibrations that depend both on the surface and on exploratory parameters, particularly scanning speed. The transduction and processing of these vibrations mediate the ability to discern fine surface features. The objective of the present study is to characterize the effect of changes in scanning speed on texture-elicited vibrations to better understand how the exploratory movements shape the neuronal representation of texture. To this end, we scanned a variety of textures across the fingertip of human participants at a variety of speeds (10–160 mm s−1) while measuring the resulting vibrations using a laser Doppler vibrometer. First, we found that the intensity of the vibrations—as indexed by root-mean-square velocity—increases with speed but that the skin displacement remains constant. Second, we found that the frequency composition of the vibrations shifts systematically to higher frequencies with increases in scanning speed. Finally, we show that the speed-dependent shift in frequency composition accounts for the speed-dependent change in intensity.

description: MEGAPODIUS GAIMARD, 1823
Remarks: Megapodes or scrubfowl of the genus Megapodius are widely distributed through Indonesia, Melanesia and western Polynesia and include many taxa that have been treated variously as subspecies or species (Mayr, 1938; White & Bruce, 1986; Jones et al., 1995). Now 13 extant species are recognized (Dickinson & Remsen, 2013). Several extinct species reveal a much greater Holocene diversity: Megapodius molistructor Balouet & Olson, 1989 from New Caledonia, Megapodius amissus Worthy, 2000 from Viti Levu, Fiji and M. alimentum from the Lau Group, Fiji and Tonga (Steadman, 1989a; Worthy, 2000) fill the gap in extant distribution of the genus between Vanuatu and Tonga. In Tonga, the genus is now represented only by M. pritchardii, which is restricted to Niuafo'ou in northern Tonga (Jones et al., 1995; Dickinson & Remsen, 2013). Formerly, it was once widespread in Tonga, and its range also included American Samoa and Niue (Steadman, 1993, 1994, 1995, 2006a; Steadman et al., 2000, 2002).
To date, no other megapode genera are known from the Tongan region (Steadman, 2006a). The nearest such to Tonga are present in Fiji, where a giant flightless form, Megavitiornis, existed (Worthy, 2000), and Vanuatu, where a large volant form, Mwalau, also co-existed with Megapodius (Worthy et al., 2015). Species of Megapodius are easily distinguished from those of other megapode genera by numerous features, as listed by Worthy (2000) and Worthy et al. (2015).
