Linear-Codes-Based Lossless Joint Source-Channel Coding for Multiple-Access Channels

description: A general lossless joint source-channel coding (JSCC) scheme based on linear codes and random interleavers for multiple-access channels (MACs) is presented and then analyzed in this paper. By the information-spectrum approach and the code-spectrum approach, it is shown that a linear code with a good joint spectrum can be used to establish limit-approaching lossless JSCC schemes for correlated general sources and general MACs, where the joint spectrum is a generalization of the input-output weight distribution. Some properties of linear codes with good joint spectra are investigated. A formula on the "distance" property of linear codes with good joint spectra is derived, based on which, it is further proved that, the rate of any systematic codes with good joint spectra cannot be larger than the reciprocal of the corresponding alphabet cardinality, and any sparse generator matrices cannot yield linear codes with good joint spectra. The problem of designing arbitrary rate coding schemes is also discussed. A novel idea called "generalized puncturing" is proposed, which makes it possible that one good low-rate linear code is enough for the design of coding schemes with multiple rates. Finally, various coding problems of MACs are reviewed in a unified framework established by the code-spectrum approach, under which, criteria and candidates of good linear codes in terms of spectrum requirements for such problems are clearly presented.

Evaluation of aerial surveys of ptarmigan (Lagopus spp.)
Creators: name: Pelletier, Luc
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Ptarmigan (Lagopus spp.) range over most of the Canadian arctic and alpine; thus, a technique is needed to track their densities over a large scale, which current techniques do not. I evaluated a program of aerial surveys done from 1990 to 1996 at Kluane, Yukon, which could do so. The indices of density obtained from aerial counts were subject to many types of errors. Of these, the counting bias, probably the largest source of bias, could have been corrected partially by using the simultaneous 2-sample capture-recapture method. However, the correction factors were highly imprecise due to the low number of double-counts. The variation of total survey bias (with 5 replicates of the survey over 2 weeks in 1996) was low in comparison to the variability of the indices between years; thus, the technique is repeatable. About 70% of the variability of the index in a given year could be attributed to daily factors. I also calibrated the index using ground counts (line transect estimates based on perpendicular distances). A test of accuracy of the linetransect method on a 0.77 km2 grid showed line-transect estimates had low bias (-3 to -7%). The calibration showed a positive and linear relationship between the aerial index and ptarmigan density. However, this calibration held only across areas in the same year. The 1996 index was significantly lower than the 1995 index but the density was higher in 1996. This could be explained by a reduced flushing behaviour in 1996, perhaps caused by increased avian predation pressure. Other indices of abundance of the Kluane ptarmigan population from winter encounter rates are also unreliable as they also predicted a drop in abundance for 1996 while the density actually increased. I recommend the use of line-transects to wildlife managers since the technique provided accurate and fairly precise (%cv = 15-25%) estimates of density.
Level density of a Fermi gas: average growth and fluctuations

description: We compute the level density of a two--component Fermi gas as a function of the number of particles, angular momentum and excitation energy. The result includes smooth low--energy corrections to the leading Bethe term (connected to a generalization of the partition problem and Hardy--Ramanujan formula) plus oscillatory corrections that describe shell effects. When applied to nuclear level densities, the theory provides a unified formulation valid from low--lying states up to levels entering the continuum. The comparison with experimental data from neutron resonances gives excellent results.

description: We have developed a fabrication technology for the development of large-scale superconducting integrated circuits with Nb-based Josephson junctions. The standard fabrication process with 10 mask levels uses four metal layers including 3 Nb superconducting layers and a Mo resistor layer. The influence of deposition parameters on film stress, electrical properties, and surface roughness were studied systematically. High quality Nb, Al, Mo, and SiO2 films were successfully deposited for the subsequent fabrication of circuits. The circuit fabrication started with the fabrication of Mo resistors with a target sheet resistance Rsh of 2 Ome, followed by the deposition of Josephson-junction. The target critical current density Jc was set at 6 kA per cm2. The thicknesses and etch depths of the films were monitored during fabrication with on-wafer process-control-monitor (PCM) patterns for all the wafers.

description: A serializer ASIC and a VCSEL driver ASIC are needed for the front-end optical data transmission in the ATLAS liquid argon calorimeter readout phase-I upgrade. The baseline ASICs are the serializer LOCx2 and the VCSEL driver LOCld, designed in a 0.25-μm Silicon-on-Sapphire (SoS) CMOS technology and consumed 843 mW and 320 mW, respectively. Based on a 130-nm CMOS technology, we design two pin-to-pin-compatible backup ASICs, LOCx2-130 and LOCld-130. Their power consumptions are much lower then of their counterparts, whereas other performance, such as the latency, data rate, and radiation tolerance, meet the phase-I upgrade requirements. We present the design of LOCx2-130 and LOCld-130. The test results of LOCx2-130 are also presented.

description: An important characteristic of flocks of birds, school of fish, and many similar assemblies of self-propelled particles is the emergence of states of collective order in which the particles move in the same direction. When noise is added into the system, the onset of such collective order occurs through a dynamical phase transition controlled by the noise intensity. While originally thought to be continuous, the phase transition has been claimed to be discontinuous on the basis of recently reported numerical evidence. We address this issue by analyzing two representative network models closely related to systems of self-propelled particles. We present analytical as well as numerical results showing that the nature of the phase transition depends crucially on the way in which noise is introduced into the system.

description: We study the dynamics of a single excitation in a Heisenberg spin-chain subjected to a sequence of periodic pulses from an external, parabolic, magnetic field. We show that, for experimentally reasonable parameters, a pair of counter-propagating coherent states are ejected from the centre of the chain. We find an illuminating correspondence with the quantum time evolution of the well-known paradigm of quantum chaos, the Quantum Kicked Rotor (QKR). From this we can analyse the entanglement production and interpret the ejected coherent states as a manifestation of so-called `accelerator modes' of a classically chaotic system.

description: Population bursts in a large ensemble of coupled elements result from the interplay between the local excitable properties of the nodes and the global network topology. Here collective excitability and self-sustained bursting oscillations are shown to spontaneously emerge in adaptive networks of globally coupled non-excitable units. The ingredients to observe collective excitability are the coexistence of states with different degree of synchronizaton joined to a global feedback acting, on a slow timescale, against the synchronization (desynchronization) of the oscillators. These regimes are illustrated for two paradigmatic classes of coupled rotators: namely, the Kuramoto model with and without inertia. For the bimodal Kuramoto model we analytically show that the macroscopic evolution originates from the existence of a critical manifold organizing the fast collective dynamics on a slow timescale. Our results provide evidence that adaptation can induce excitability by maintaining a network permanently out-of-equilibrium.

description: The Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC) studies nuclear matter under a variety of conditions. Cold nuclear matter is probed with deuteron-gold collisions, while hot nuclear matter(possibly a quark-gluon plasma (QGP)) is created in heavy-ion collisions. The distribution of spin in polarized nucleons is measured with polarized proton collisions, and photoproduction is studied using the photons that accompany heavy nuclei. The deuteron-gold data shows less forward particle production than would be expected from a superposition of $pp$ collisions, as expected due to saturation/shadowing. Particle production in $AA$ collisions is well described by a model of an expanding fireball in thermal equilibrium. Strong hydrodynamic flow and jet quenching shows that the the produced matter interacts very strongly. These phenomena are consistent with new non-perturbative interactions near the transition temperature to the QGP. This writeup will discuss these results, and their implications for cosmic-ray physicists.

Aspects of structure in Olivier Messiaen’s Vingt regards sur l’Enfant-Jésus
Creators: name: Rogosin, David
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The paper explores various structural aspects of the 1944 masterwork for piano, Vingt Regards sur I'Enfant-Jesus, by Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992). Part One examines elements of the composer's style in isolation, focusing principally on the use of the modes of limited transposition to generate diverse tonal styles, as well as the use of form and "cyclical" or recurring themes and motifs to both unify and diversify the work. The author divides Messiaen's tonal styles into three broad groups. The first, closest to traditional tonality, is based on mode 2, while the second, with its whole-tone and bitonal associations, relies on modes 1 and 3 respectively. The use of modes 4 through 7 generate essentially atonal harmonic structures. Forms in the Vingt Regards are treated variously as unipartite, simple repetitive forms of two or three ideas, more elaborate sectional forms, or adaptations of traditional forms. Fifteen of the twenty pieces fall into the first two categories, leaving only five whose forms could be described as complex. At the same time, various musical processes frequently enrich and transform the basically simple sectional structures, creating complex and evolving masses of patterned sound. Along with the three principal themes identified by the composer in the preface to the score, eight other themes and motifs are discussed. Musical associations and relationships between these themes are also examined. Part Two presents six analyses showing how the elements previously described interact in larger contexts. Pieces numbers 2, 9, 11, 13, 15, and 16 are analyzed in whole or in part. Five synoptic tables of features in the Vingt Regards make up Appendix 1, while Appendix 2 gives English translations of some of the French titles and terms in the score. Appendix 3 reproduces Messiaen's comments—not found in the score or published elsewhere—on each of the twenty pieces.

description: We have surveyed the central molecular zone (CMZ) of our Galaxy in the CO J=3-2 line with the Atacama Submillimeter-wave Telescope Experiment (ASTE). Molecular gas in the Galactic center shows high J=3-2/J=1-0 intensity ratio (~ 0.9) while gas in the spiral arms in the Galactic disk shows the lower ratio (~ 0.5). The high-velocity compact cloud CO 0.02-0.02 and the hyperenergetic shell CO 1.27+0.01, as well as gas in the Sgr A region exhibit high J=3-2/J=1-0 intensity ratio exceeding 1.5. We also found a number of small spots of high ratio gas. Some of these high ratio spots have large velocity widths and some seem to associate with nonthermal threads or filaments. These could be spots of hot molecular gas shocked by unidentified supernovae which may be abundant in the CMZ.

description: When estimating the abundances which result from a given star formation event, it is customary to treat the IMF as a series of weight factors to be applied to the stellar yields, as a function of mass, implicitly assuming one is dealing with an infinite population. However, when the stellar population is small, the standard procedure would imply the inclusion of fractional numbers of stars at certain masses. We study the effects of small number statistics on the resulting abundances by performing an statistical sampling of the IMF to form a stellar population out of discrete numbers of stars. A chemical evolution code then follows the evolution of the population, and traces the resulting abundances. The process is repeated to obtain an statistical distribution of the resulting abundances and their evolution. We explore the manner in which different elements are affected, and how different abundances converge to the infinite population limit as the total mass increases. We include a discussion of our results in the context of dwarf spheroidal galaxies and show the recently reported internal dispersions in abundance ratios for dSph galaxies might be partly explained through the stochastic effects introduced by a low star formation rate, which can account for dispersions of over 2 dex in [C/O], [N/O], [C/Fe], [N/Fe] and [O/Fe].

description: Due to road traffic accidents, 6941 Filipinos died in 2010, and thousands more were wounded or disabled. Head and neck injuries are the main cause of death, severe injury, and motorcycle users disabilities. Motorcycle users make up a large proportion of those on the road who were killed. The main purpose of the study is to develop an MCU Based Motorcycle System for Optimum Road Safety with Anti-theft Capability that will help motorcycle riders to be safe while travelling in national roads. The researchers will be using the prototyping methodology where in a prototype is built according to the initial requirements gathered from the motorists themselves. The expected result of the proposed methodology is the system will be utilizing the different function of each modules to ensure that the riders will be able to detect and avoid possible danger while on the road. As a result of different literature in relation to each module, the system is expected to provide a new leap to ensure the safety of all riders here in the Philippines. Future studies will ensure the development of the system, provide testing and improve the functionality of the system depending on the test result. Due to the high increase in the number of cars and motorcycle travelling on national road, the percentage of accidents also is getting higher. In line with that, the proposed system is expected to lessen the percentage of accident by avoiding the possible cause of it.

description: We consider an effective Majorana neutrino mass operator with the Friedberg-Lee symmetry; i.e., it is invariant under the transformation ν_α-> ν_α+ z (for α= e, μ, τ) with z being a space-time independent constant element of the Grassmann algebra. We show that this new flavor symmetry can be broken in such a nontrivial way that the lightest neutrino remains massless but an experimentally-favored neutrino mixing pattern is achievable. In particular, we get a novel prediction for the unknown neutrino mixing angle θ_13 in terms of two known angles: \sinθ_13 = \tanθ_12 |(1- \tanθ_23)/ (1+\tanθ_23)|. The model can simply be generalized to accommodate CP violation and be combined with the seesaw mechanism.

description: We have made a serendipitous discovery of an enigmatic outflow source, IRAS 05506+2414 (hereafter IRAS 05506), as part of a multi-wavelength survey of pre-planetary nebulae (PPNs). The HST optical and near-infrared images show a bright compact central source with a jet-like extension, and a fan-like spray of high-velocity (with radial velocities upto 350 kms/s) elongated knots which appear to emanate from it. These structures are possibly analogous to the near-IR "bullets" seen in the Orion nebula. Interferometric observations at 2.6 mm show the presence of a high-velocity CO outflow and a continuum source also with a faint extension, both of which are aligned with the optical jet structure. IRAS 05506 is most likely not a PPN. We find extended NH3 (1,1) emission towards IRAS 05506; these data together with the combined presence of far-IR emission, H2O and OH masers, and CO and CS J=2-1 emission, strongly argue for a dense, dusty star-forming core associated with IRAS 05506. IRAS 05506 is probably an intermediate-mass or massive protostar, and the very short time-scale (200 yr) of its outflows indicates that it is very young. If IRAS 05506 is a massive star, then the lack of radio continuum and the late G -- early K spectral type we find from our optical spectra implies that in this object we are witnessing the earliest stages of its life, while its temperature is still too low to provide sufficient UV flux for ionisation.

description: The development of AI applications is a multidisciplinary effort, involving multiple roles collaborating with the AI developers, an umbrella term we use to include data scientists and other AI-adjacent roles on the same team. During these collaborations, there is a knowledge mismatch between AI developers, who are skilled in data science, and external stakeholders who are typically not. This difference leads to communication gaps, and the onus falls on AI developers to explain data science concepts to their collaborators. In this paper, we report on a study including analyses of both interviews with AI developers and artifacts they produced for communication. Using the analytic lens of shared mental models, we report on the types of communication gaps that AI developers face, how AI developers communicate across disciplinary and organizational boundaries, and how they simultaneously manage issues regarding trust and expectations.

description: We estimated physical conditions of molecular gas in the central molecular zone (CMZ) of the Galaxy, using our CO J=3-2 data obtained with the Atacama Submillimeter Telescope Experiment (ASTE) in conjunction with J=1-0 12CO and 13CO data previously observed with the NRO 45m telescope. The large velocity gradient (LVG) approximation was employed. Distributions of gas density, kinetic temperature, and CO column density are derived as functions of position and velocity for the entire coverage of the CO J=3-2 data. We fairly determined physical conditions for 69 % of data points in the CMZ with >= 1 sigma CO detections. Kinetic temperature was found to be roughly uniform in the CMZ, while gas density is higher in the 120-pc star forming ring than in the outer dust lanes. Physical conditions of high J=3-2/J=1-0 features are also discussed.
