description: We present first-principles multiband spin susceptibility calculations within the random-phase approximation for four isostructural superconducting PuCoIn$_5$, PuCoGa$_5$, PuRhGa$_5$, and nonsuperconducting UCoGa$_5$ actinides. The results show that a strong peak in the spin-fluctuation dressed self-energy is present around 0.5 eV in all materials, which is mostly created by 5$f$ electrons. These fluctuations couple to the single-particle spectrum and give rise to a peak-dip-hump feature, characteristic of the coexistence of itinerant and localized electronic states. Results are in quantitative agreement with photoemission spectra. Finally, we show that the studied actinides can be understood within the rigid-band filling approach, in which the spin-fluctuation coupling constant follows the same materials dependence as the superconducting transition temperature $T_c$.

description: Durch den russischen Angriff auf die Ukraine sind die Energiepreise sprunghaft gestiegen. Bereits zuvor wurden Strom, Gas und Kraftstoffe sukzessive teurer. Die privaten Haushalte in Deutschland werden dadurch erheblich belastet. Zwei Entlastungspakete hat die Regierungskoalition dazu geschnürt. Dennoch drohen den privaten Haushalten mittelfristig reale Einkommensverluste von durchschnittlich 2,1 Prozent, wie hier vorgelegte Simulationsrechnungen auf Basis des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) zeigen. Bei GeringverdienerInnen machen die Energiepreissteigerungen trotz der Entlastungspakete sogar rund drei Prozent des Nettoeinkommens aus. In vielen Fällen ist es noch deutlich mehr. Einkommensschwache Haushalte geben einen höheren Anteil ihres monatlichen Nettoeinkommens für Energie aus und sind somit von den Preissteigerungen relativ stärker betroffen als reichere Haushalte. Da die hohen Energiepreise aller Voraussicht nach noch bis weit in das nächste Jahr hinein Bestand haben werden, sollte die Politik nachbessern, weitere Entlastungen aber auf die Haushalte mit niedrigem Einkommen konzentrieren. Die Hilfen sollten zudem nicht die Anreize zum Energiesparen reduzieren. Insofern ist die Energiesteuersenkung bei den Kraftstoffen fragwürdig, auch bei der Förderung des öffentlichen Personennahverkehrs sollten die Mitnahmeeffekte reduziert werden.

description: We compute the 4d superconformal index for N=1,2 gauge theories on S^1 x L(p,1), where L(p,1) is a lens space. We find that the 4d N=1,2 index on S^1 x L(p,1) reduces to a 3d N=2,4 index on S^1 x S^2 in the large p limit, and to a 3d partition function on a squashed L(p,1) when the size of temporal S^1 shrinks to zero. As an application of our index, we study 4d N=2 superconformal field theories arising from the 6d N=(2,0) A_1 theory on a punctured Riemann surface, and conjecture the existence of a 2d Topological Quantum Field Theory on the Riemann surface whose correlation function coincides with the 4d N=2 index on S^1 x L(p,1).

Probabilistic reasoning with undefined properties in ontologically-based belief networks
Creators: name: Kuo, Chia-Li
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: This thesis concerns building probabilistic models with an underlying ontology that defines the classes and properties used in the model. In particular, it considers the problem of reasoning with properties that may not always be defined. Furthermore, we may even be uncertain about whether a property is defined for a given individual. One approach is to explicitly add a value "undefined" to the range of random variables, forming (what we call) extended belief networks. Adding an extra value to a random variable's range, however, has a large computational overhead. In this work, we propose an alternative, ontologically-based belief networks, where properties are only used when they are defined. We show how probabilistic reasoning can be carried out without explicitly using the value "undefined" during inference. This, in general, requires that we perform two probabilistic queries to determine (1) the probability that the hypothesis is defined and (2) the probabilities of the hypothesis given it is defined. We prove this is equivalent to reasoning with the corresponding extended belief network and empirically demonstrate on synthetic models that inference becomes more efficient.
Preserving privacy in data outsourcing
Creators: name: FORESTI, SARA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2010

description: Privacy requirements have an increasing impact on the realization of modern
applications. Commercial and legal regulations demand that privacy guarantees
be provided whenever sensitive information is stored, processed, or
communicated to external parties. Current approaches encrypt sensitive data,
thus reducing query execution efficiency and preventing selective information
release. In this thesis, we present a comprehensive approach for protecting
highly sensitive information when it is stored on systems that are not under
the data owner's control. Our approach combines access control and encryption,
enforcing access control via structured encryption. Our solution, coupled with
efficient algorithms for key derivation and distribution, provides efficient
and secure authorization management on outsourced data allowing the data owner
to outsource not only the data but the security policy itself. To reduce the
amount of data to be encrypted we also investigate data fragmentation as a
possible way to protect privacy of data associations and provide fragmentation
as a complementary means for protecting privacy: associations broken by
fragmentation will be visible only to users authorized (by knowing the proper
key) to join fragments. We finally investigate the problem of executing queries
over possible data distributed at different servers and which must be
controlled to ensure sensitive information and sensitive associations be
visible only to parties authorized for that.

Degenerate Plebanski Sector and Spin Foam Quantization

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We show that the degenerate sector of Spin(4) Plebanski formulation of four-dimensional gravity is exactly solvable and describes covariantly embedded SU(2) BF theory. This fact ensures that its spin foam quantization is given by the SU(2) Crane-Yetter model and allows to test various approaches of imposing the simplicity constraints. Our analysis strongly suggests that restricting representations and intertwiners in the state sum for Spin(4) BF theory is not sufficient to get the correct vertex amplitude. Instead, for a general theory of Plebanski type, we propose a quantization procedure which is by construction equivalent to the canonical path integral quantization and, being applied to our model, reproduces the SU(2) Crane-Yetter state sum. A characteristic feature of this procedure is the use of secondary second class constraints on an equal footing with the primary simplicity constraints, which leads to a new formula for the vertex amplitude.

description: A detailed stochastic model of single-gene auto-regulation is established and its solutions are explored when mRNA dynamics is fast compared with protein dynamics and in the opposite regime. The model includes all the sources of randomness that are intrinsic to the auto-regulation process and it considers both transcriptional and post transcriptional regulation. The timescale separation allows the derivation of analytic expressions for the equilibrium distributions of protein and mRNA. These distributions are generally well described in the continuous approximation, which is used to discuss the qualitative features of the protein equilibrium distributions as a function of the biological parameters in the fast mRNA regime. The performance of the timescale approximation is assessed by comparison with simulations of the full stochastic system, and a good quantitative agreement is found for a wide range of parameter values. We show that either unimodal or bimodal equilibrium protein distributions can arise, and we discuss the auto-regulation mechanisms associated with bimodality.

description: Sales taxes on foods sold at grocery stores and/or restaurants exist in almost every county in the United States. By combining county-level sales tax data with U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) 2012–13 National Household Food Acquisition and Purchase Survey (FoodAPS), we examine the association between both types of taxes and a household’s spending on grocery and restaurant foods for three groups: USDA Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) participants, households that are eligible for SNAP but do not participate in the program, and households that are not eligible for SNAP. We found that, among households that are eligible for SNAP but do not participate in the program, grocery taxes are associated with reduced spending on foods purchased for at-home consumption. No such association is found among the two other groups of households considered in this study, suggesting they are less sensitive to grocery taxes. SNAP households spend more money on foods purchased for at-home consumption in communities with higher restaurant taxes.

description: We study a multi-particle quantum graph with random potential. Taking the approach of multiscale analysis we prove exponential and strong dynamical localization of any order in the Hilbert-Schmidt norm near the spectral edge. Apart from the results on multi-particle systems, we also prove Lifshitz-type asymptotics for single-particle systems. This shows in particular that localization for single-particle quantum graphs holds under a weaker assumption on the random potential than previously known.

description: Let $\FF$ be a finite field and $(Q,\bfd)$ an acyclic valued quiver with associated exchange matrix $\tilde{B}$. We follow Hubery's approach \cite{hub1} to prove our main conjecture of \cite{rupel}: the quantum cluster character gives a bijection from the isoclasses of indecomposable rigid valued representations of $Q$ to the set of non-initial quantum cluster variables for the quantum cluster algebra $\cA_{|\FF|}(\tilde{B},Λ)$. As a corollary we find that, for any rigid valued representation $V$ of $Q$, all Grassmannians of subrepresentations $Gr_\bfe^V$ have counting polynomials.

The Universal Aspect Ratio of Vortices in Rotating Stratified Flows: Theory and Simulation

description: We derive a relationship for the vortex aspect ratio $α$ (vertical half-thickness over horizontal length scale) for steady and slowly evolving vortices in rotating stratified fluids, as a function of the Brunt-Vaisala frequencies within the vortex $N_c$ and in the background fluid outside the vortex $\bar{N}$, the Coriolis parameter $f$, and the Rossby number $Ro$ of the vortex: $α^2 = Ro(1+Ro) f^2/(N_c^2-\bar{N}^2)$. This relation is valid for cyclones and anticyclones in either the cyclostrophic or geostrophic regimes; it works with vortices in Boussinesq fluids or ideal gases, and the background density gradient need not be uniform. Our relation for $α$ has many consequences for equilibrium vortices in rotating stratified flows. For example, cyclones must have $N_c^2 > \bar{N}^2$; weak anticyclones (with $|Ro| < 1$) must have $N_c^2 < \bar{N}^2; and strong anticyclones must have $N_c^2 > \bar{N}^2$. We verify our relation for $α$ with numerical simulations of the three-dimensional Boussinesq equations for a wide variety of vortices, including: vortices that are initially in (dissipationless) equilibrium and then evolve due to an imposed weak viscous dissipation or density radiation; anticyclones created by the geostrophic adjustment of a patch of locally mixed density; cyclones created by fluid suction from a small localised region; vortices created from the remnants of the violent breakups of columnar vortices; and weakly non-axisymmetric vortices. The values of the aspect ratios of our numerically-computed vortices validate our relationship for $α$, and generally they differ significantly from the values obtained from the much-cited conjecture that $α= f/\bar{N}$ in quasi-geostrophic vortices.

description: Die Elektromobilität wird in Deutschland in erster Linie durch eine Kaufprämie gefördert. Diese hat ein Volumen von etwa fünf Milliarden Euro bis zum Jahr 2025. Wie dieser Wochenbericht zeigt, kommt es auf dem deutschen Automobilmarkt seit der Einführung hoher Kaufprämien für Elektroautos zu erheblichen Verschiebungen: So nimmt die Zahl batterieelektrischer Pkw deutlich zu, während die Zahl von Autos mit Verbrennungsmotor zurückgeht. Empirische Analysen bestätigen, dass die Erhöhung der Kaufprämie ein wesentlicher Treiber dieser Entwicklungen ist. Der Wachstumspfad der Elektromobilität bleibt jedoch trotz der erhöhten Kaufprämie weit hinter dem Tempo zurück, das zur Erreichung der für das Jahr 2030 gesetzten Ziele erforderlich ist. Dafür ist es nötig, das klimapolitische Paket im Verkehrsbereich und die Verkehrswende insgesamt zu stärken. So ist neben dem deutlich schnelleren Ausbau der Ladeinfrastruktur vor allem der Abbau umweltschädlicher Subventionen im Verkehrssektor sehr wichtig. Längerfristig würde eine effektive CO2-Bepreisung von Kraftstoffen für verlässliche Anreize zum Kauf von Elektroautos sorgen. Dabei ist es jedoch wichtig, dass flankierende Maßnahmen, beispielsweise ein Mobilitätsgeld mit Entlastungen vor allem für Haushalte mit geringen und mittleren Einkommen, die zusätzlichen Belastungen und negative Verteilungswirkungen ausgleichen. Darüber hinaus sollten das Steuer- und Abgabensystem im Verkehrsbereich insgesamt stärker auf Umwelt- und Klimaschutz ausgerichtet sein und ambitioniertere CO2-Flottengrenzwerte verfolgt werden.

These codes include the checkerboard codes, and the family of minimal single-qubit-encoding toric codes with block length $n=t^2+(t+1)^2$ and distance $d=2t+1$, $t=1,2,...$. We also suggest several related algebraic constructions which nearly quadruple the rate of the existing hypergraph-product codes.

We demonstrate this effect for the example of ultra-cold quantum gases with dipolar interactions.

Improve classroom interaction and collaboration using i>clicker
Creators: name: Shi, Junhao
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: The i>clicker student response system is used to answer multiple-choice questions in university classrooms across North America. We investigated how existing i>clicker remotes could be used to improve classroom interaction and collaboration by developing and using custom software applications, each targeted at a different aspect of classroom interaction, that augment basic i>clicker capability. Java-based software was written to replace the vendor-provided driver for the i>clicker base station that controls initialization, starting voting, requesting votes, stopping voting, and updating the LCD display on the base station. WebClicker extends voting to commonly-used digital devices (cell phone, smart phone, tablet, and laptop) using a cloud-based architecture that forwards votes to a client application. Three client applications were developed. Each connects to either the Java-based driver or WebClicker to obtain votes. These extended the power of the standard i>clicker software. It supports most existing features, such as multiple-choice questions, but additionally features per-group visualization of voting outcomes, state-specific interpretation of individual student’s votes, and other features not in the vendor-provided software. Clic^in provides additional pedagogical support so students can practice newly-obtained skills in the class. It embeds “gamelets” that have content-specific behavior that can be played individually, or by an entire class, or in parallel by groups to support concept demonstration, class-wide participation and group competition. Finally, Selection Tool allows students to control projected material in the classroom through slide navigation and content highlighting. Two usability experiments were conducted. One investigated cognitive load when using an i>clicker remote to interact with a gamelet that illustrates binary search tree insertion. The remote was slower and more error-prone than a mouse-based interface, but the difference is probably acceptable in a classroom setting. Both interaction time and error-rate decreased as participants gained practice. A second experiment compared Selection Tool with a mouse for content highlighting. Again the i>clicker was slower and more error-prone than a mouse, and it was difficult to correctly highlight smaller targets, but the ability to use an i>clicker for this task shows promise.
Efficiency at maximum power output of linear irreversible Carnot-like heat engines

Year: 2011

description: The efficiency at maximum power output of linear irreversible Carnot-like heat engines is investigated based on the assumption that the rate of irreversible entropy production of working substance in each "isothermal" process is a quadratic form of heat exchange rate between the working substance and the reservoir. It is found that the maximum power output corresponds to minimizing the irreversible entropy production in two "isothermal" processes of the Carnot-like cycle, and that the efficiency at maximum power output has the form as $η_{mP}={η_C}/(2-γη_C)$ where $η_C$ is the Carnot efficiency while $γ$ depends on the heat transfer coefficients between the working substance and two reservoirs. The value of $η_{mP}$ is bounded between $η_{-}\equiv η_C/2$ and $η_{+}\equivη_C/(2-η_C)$. These results are consistent with those obtained by Chen and Yan [J. Chem. Phys. \textbf{90}, 3740 (1989)] based on the endoreversible assumption, those obtained by Esposito \textit{et al.} [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{105}, 150603 (2010)] based on the low-dissipation assumption, and those obtained by Schmiedl and Seifert [EPL \textbf{81}, 20003 (2008)] for stochastic heat engines which in fact also satisfy the low-dissipation assumption. Additionally, we find that the endoreversible assumption happens to hold for Carnot-like heat engines operating at the maximum power output based on our fundamental assumption, and that the Carnot-like heat engines that we focused does not strictly satisfy the low-dissipation assumption, which implies that the low-dissipation assumption or our fundamental assumption is a sufficient but non-necessary condition for the validity of $η_{mP}={η_C}/(2-γη_C)$ as well as the existence of two bounds $η_{-}\equiv η_C/2$ and $η_{+}\equivη_C/(2-η_C)$.

description: Seit Mitte des vergangenen Jahres steigt die Inflation im Euroraum beträchtlich. Grund sind insbesondere die verteuerten Energiepreise. Der russische Angriff auf die Ukraine seit Ende Februar hat diesen Trend noch einmal verschärft. Um die Preise stabil zu halten, müsste die Europäische Zentralbank langsam die Geldpolitik zügeln. Doch hätte beispielweise eine Zinserhöhung überhaupt den Effekt, die auf dem Weltmarkt gehandelten Energiepreise zu senken? In einem Zeitreihenmodell zeigt sich, dass bei einer Zinserhöhung der EZB die Energiepreise in Deutschland mit bis zu vier Prozent sogar stärker sinken als der gesamte Verbraucherpreisindex mit 0,2 Prozent. Grund ist vor allem die mit der Zinserhöhung verbundene Aufwertung des Euro, die die in Dollar gehandelten Ölimporte verbilligt. Allerdings hätte die Zinserhöhung auch den negativen Effekt, die Industrieproduktion auszubremsen und die Arbeitslosigkeit zu erhöhen.

description: We calculate for La2CuO4 the phonon-induced redistribution of the electronic charge density in the insulating, the underdoped pseudogap and the more conventional metallic state as obtained for optimal and overdoping, respectively. The investigation is performed for the anomalous high-frequency-oxygen-bond stretching modes (OBSM) which experimentally are known to display a strong softening of the frequencies upon doping in the cuprates. This most likely generic anomalous behaviour of the OBSM has been shown to be due to a strong nonlocal electron-phonon interaction (EPI) mediated by charge fluctuations on the ions. The modeling of the competing electronic states of the cuprates is achieved in terms of consecutive orbital selective incompressibility-compressibility transitions for the charge response. We demonstrate that the softening of the OBSM in these states is due to nonlocally induced dynamic charge inhomogenities in form of charge stripes along the CuO bonds with different orbital character. Thus, a multi-orbital approach is essential for the CuO plane. The dynamic charge inhomogeneities may in turn be considered as precursors of static charge stripe order as recently observed in La$_{2-x}$Ba$_{x}$CuO$_{4}$ in a broad range of doping around x=1/8. The latter may trigger a reconstruction of the Fermi surface into small pockets with reduced doping. We argue that the incompressibility of the Cu3d orbital and simultaneously the compressibility of the O2p orbital in the pseudogap state seems to be required to nucleate dynamic stripes.

description: A point prevalence survey (PPS) carried out in a super‑specialty hospital to identify areas for improvement. The PPS was adapted from the European Center for DiseaseControl guidelines. The survey was carried out to include all patients in the hospital wards and those who were prescribed with antibacterial agents for more than a day. Those on chronic treatment with anti‑tubercular drugs or chemoprophylaxis for repeated urinary tract infections were excluded from the study. The data were obtained from the case sheets and the inpatient hospital record forms. Wards included were intensive coronary care unit, cardiothoracic‑vascular surgery intensive care unit (ICU), respiratory ICU, cardiology, respiratory, and oncology. A total of 107 patients were surveyed. The results emphasize the need to optimize the use of antibacterial, especially as preoperative prophylaxis and choice of empiricaltherapy.

description: This paper provides two obstructions to small knot complements in $S^3$ admitting hidden symmetries. The first obstruction is being cyclically commensurable with another knot complement. This result provides a partial answer to a conjecture of Boileau, Boyer, Cebanu, and Walsh. We also provide a second obstruction to admitting hidden symmetries in the case where a small knot complement covers a manifold admitting some symmetry and at least two exceptional surgeries.

description: We study properties of energy spreading in a lattice of elastically colliding harmonic oscillators (Ding-Dong model). We demonstrate that in the regular lattice the spreading from a localized initial state is mediated by compactons and chaotic breathers. In a disordered lattice the compactons do not exist, and the spreading eventually stops, resulting in a finite configuration with a few chaotic spots.

Control of complex biomechanical systems

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Humans show stunning performance on a variety of manipulation tasks. However, little is known about the computation that the human brain performs to accomplish these tasks. Recently, anatomically correct tendon-driven models of the human hand have been developed, but controlling them remains an issue. In this thesis, we present a computationally efficient feedback controller, capable of dealing with the complexity of these models. We demonstrate its abilities by successfully performing tracking and reaching tasks for an elaborated model of the human index finger. The controller, called One-Step-Ahead controller, is designed in a hierarchical fashion, with the high-level controller determining the desired trajectory and the low-level controller transforming it into muscle activations by solving a constrained linear least squares problem. It was proposed to use equilibrium controls as a feedforward command, and learn the controller's parameters online by stabilizing the plant at various configurations. The conducted experiments suggest the feasibility of the proposed learning approach for the index finger model.

description: A conjecture of Manin predicts the distribution of K-rational points on certain algebraic varieties defined over a number field K. In recent years, a method using universal torsors has been successfully applied to several hard special cases of Manin's conjecture over the field Q of rational numbers. Combining this method with techniques developed by Schanuel, we give a proof of Manin's conjecture over arbitrary number fields for the singular cubic surface S given by the equation w^3 = x y z.

description: Abstract 
Introduction: Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) caused various diseases and created a global crisis to public health. The disease caused by MRSA are treated with vancomycin. Initially vancomycin become a gold standard treatment for the diseases caused by MRSA but after some time prevalence of heterogeneous vancomycin intermediate S. aureus, vancomycin intermediate S. aureus and vancomycin resistant S. aureus (hVISA, VISA and VRSA) has been emerged from different part of the world. Methods: A extensive search was conducted with the help of electronic databases, like as PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar, to identify similar studies to the hVISA, VISA and VRSA. The search strategy employed a combination of keywords and medical terminologies associated with Staphylococcus aureus and antibiotic vancomycin. Result: This systematic review provide overall prevalence of hVISA was 5.2% in 32180 MRSA strains, the prevalence of VISA 3.8% in 27472 MRSA strains and VRSA prevalence was 6.69% in 4815 MRSA strains. The incidence of hVISA was 1.88% before 2000, 6.89% in 2001-2010, 11% in 2011-2020 and 10.78% in 2021-2023. VISA prevalence was 0.73% before 2000, 2.37% in 2001-2010 and 10.82% in 2011-2020. VRSA was not isolated before 2000, the prevalence of VRSA was 1.8% in 2001-2010 and 7.97% in 2011-2020. Conclusion: The incidence of hVISA, VISA and VRSA has been elevated in last few years mainly in Asia continent than Europe/America. This systematic review provide the prevalence of hVISA, VISA and VRSA and suggest to isolate this type of S. aureus and control community and hospital associated infections.
Distributed Soft Coding with a Soft Input Soft Output (SISO) Relay Encoder in Parallel Relay Channels

description: In this paper, we propose a new distributed coding structure with a soft input soft output (SISO) relay encoder for error-prone parallel relay channels. We refer to it as the distributed soft coding (DISC). In the proposed scheme, each relay first uses the received noisy signals to calculate the soft bit estimate (SBE) of the source symbols. A simple SISO encoder is developed to encode the SBEs of source symbols based on a constituent code generator matrix. The SISO encoder outputs at different relays are then forwarded to the destination and form a distributed codeword. The performance of the proposed scheme is analyzed. It is shown that its performance is determined by the generator sequence weight (GSW) of the relay constituent codes, where the GSW of a constituent code is defined as the number of ones in its generator sequence. A new coding design criterion for optimally assigning the constituent codes to all the relays is proposed based on the analysis. Results show that the proposed DISC can effectively circumvent the error propagation due to the decoding errors in the conventional detect and forward (DF) with relay re-encoding and bring considerable coding gains, compared to the conventional soft information relaying.

The primordial abundance of deuterium, The metal enrichment of the intergalactic medium
Creators: name: D'Odorico, Valentina
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021

description: In this presentation, I briefly review the role of UVES in the progression of two topics extremely relevant for cosmology and galaxy evolution: the determination of the primordial abundance of Deuterium and the estimate of the metal enrichment of the circum and intergalactic media both based on the study of absorption lines observed in high-redshift bright quasars. Deuterium is one of the elements created during the Big Bang nucleosynthesis, the very precise measure of its abundance with QSO absorption lines, based also on 3 UVES measurements, allows us to estimate the baryon-to-photon ratio with a precision comparable to the Planck estimate and in good agreement with it. The detection of heavy elements associated with diffuse gas at high redshift provides strong constraints on the mechanisms driving gas outside galaxies and also on the early process of chemical enrichment. I describe the prominent contribution given by UVES in this field and the future developments that could still see UVES as a fundamental player.
