description: In these lecture notes, we present a pedagogical review of a number of related {\it numerically exact} approaches to quantum many-body problems. In particular, we focus on methods based on the exact diagonalization of the Hamiltonian matrix and on methods extending exact diagonalization using renormalization group ideas, i.e., Wilson's Numerical Renormalization Group (NRG) and White's Density Matrix Renormalization Group (DMRG). These methods are standard tools for the investigation of a variety of interacting quantum systems, especially low-dimensional quantum lattice models. We also survey extensions to the methods to calculate properties such as dynamical quantities and behavior at finite temperature, and discuss generalizations of the DMRG method to a wider variety of systems, such as classical models and quantum chemical problems. Finally, we briefly review some recent developments for obtaining a more general formulation of the DMRG in the context of matrix product states as well as recent progress in calculating the time evolution of quantum systems using the DMRG and the relationship of the foundations of the method with quantum information theory.

description: Recent studies indicated that helical organic molecules, such as DNA and $α$-helical protein, can behave as Thouless quantum pumps when a rotating electric field is applied perpendicularly to their helical axes. Here we investigate the influence of long-range hoppings on this topological pumping of electrons in single-helical organic molecules. Under variation of the long-range hoppings governed by a decay exponent $μ$, we find an energy gap in the molecular band structure closes at a critical value $μ_c$ of the decay exponent and reopens for $μ$ deviating from $μ_c$. The relevant bulk bands in a pumping cycle acquire different Chern numbers in the strong ($μμ_c$) long-range hopping regimes, with a sudden jump at criticality. This topological phase transition is also shown to separate two distinct behaviors of the midgap end states in the pumping process. The end states carry quantized current pumped by the rotating electric field and the current forms a plateau by sweeping the Fermi energy over the gap. In the strong hopping phase, the quantized current plateau is positive, which is reversed to a negative one with smaller amplitude in the weak hopping phase. However, the reversal is a smooth crossover, not a sharp transition, due to the finite sizes of the molecules. We show that these transport characteristics of the topological phase transition could also be observed at finite temperatures.

description: We analytically investigate the nonlinear response of a damped doubly clamped nanomechanical beam under static longitudinal compression which is excited to transverse vibrations. Starting from a continuous elasticity model for the beam, we consider the dynamics of the beam close to the Euler buckling instability. There, the fundamental transverse mode dominates and a quantum mechanical time-dependent effective single particle Hamiltonian for its amplitude can be derived. In addition, we include the influence of a dissipative Ohmic or super-Ohmic environment. In the rotating frame, a Markovian master equation is derived which includes also the effect of the time-dependent driving in a non-trivial way. The quasienergies of the pure system show multiple avoided level crossings corresponding to multiphonon transitions in the resonator. Around the resonances, the master equation is solved analytically using Van Vleck perturbation theory. Their lineshapes are calculated resulting in simple expressions. We find the general solution for the multiple multiphonon resonances and, most interestingly, a bath-induced transition from a resonant to an antiresonant behavior of the nonlinear response.

description: In the conventional quantum mechanics (i.e., hermitian QM) the adia- batic theorem for systems subjected to time periodic fields holds only for bound systems and not for open ones (where ionization and dissociation take place) [D. W. Hone, R. Ketzmerik, and W. Kohn, Phys. Rev. A 56, 4045 (1997)]. Here with the help of the (t,t') formalism combined with the complex scaling method we derive an adiabatic theorem for open systems and provide an analytical criteria for the validity of the adiabatic limit. The use of the complex scaling transformation plays a key role in our derivation. As a numerical example we apply the adiabatic theorem we derived to a 1D model Hamiltonian of Xe atom which interacts with strong, monochromatic sine-square laser pulses. We show that the gener- ation of odd-order harmonics and the absence of hyper-Raman lines, even when the pulses are extremely short, can be explained with the help of the adiabatic theorem we derived.

description: The importance of intangible assets in firm's success is increasing. So giving insight about its quality and measurement metrics is vital for the firms. In knowledge based economy, intangible assets must be the basis of development. Hence intangible assets management is very important and this management without measurement of intangibles isn’t efficient and effective. The aim of this research is to investigate value relevance of intangibles especially unrecorded intangibles and its usefulness in predicting of future cash flow and earnings. The model of Arefmanesh and Rahmani (1394) was used to measure unrecorded and total intangibles. Analyzing of data panel of 143 firms from 1386 to 1392 indicate that there is significant difference between high and low Tec firms intangible assets have positive and significant relation with market value of firms. Also according to research results information about intangible assets is a good predictor of future cash flows and earnings especially in high tech and intermediate high tech firms. Therefore base on findings of this research intangible assets provide useful information for decision of financial statement users.
War guilt and postwar Japanese education
Creators: name: Kato, Naoko
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The roots of Japanese patriotic education in the last decade lie in the educational reforms of the American occupation. Some writers see post-war education as a period of officially-prescribed 'mind-control' as American occupiers forced their distorted version of history upon the Japanese, meanwhile undermining patriotic attitudes and practice so that the Japanese might never again pose a threat to the Americans. Others see reform as having freed Japanese from militaristic and ultra-nationalist governments, thus leaving space for the introduction of democratic practices and ideals. Similarly, textbook censorship conducted by the Ministry of Education has been criticized, as a prime example of Japan's inability to accept its past wrongdoings. On the contrary, some view current versions of history approved by the Ministry as masochistic. In both cases, the core issue is the question of war guilt. On the surface, the Ministry of Education conducted official policies on education and therefore shaped Japanese war guilt. However, other actors such as the American occupiers and the Japan Teachers' Union also played a major part in the process. I examine the positions and motivations of the various interest groups that influenced Japanese perceptions of war guilt. Further, I argue the importance of the occupation period in the history of education in Japan, and describe the American occupation of Japan with emphasis on educational reform during the period 1945-1960. I present arguments of prominent historians on the questions of war guilt, censorship, and education.

description: We reconsider constraints on Brans-Dicke theories arising from the requirement of successful Big Bang Nucleosynthesis. Such constraints typically arise by imposing that the universe be radiation-dominated at early times, and therefore restricting the contribution that a Brans-Dicke scalar could make to the energy budget of the universe. However, in this paper we show how the dynamics of the Brans-Dicke scalar itself can mimic a portion of the radiation contribution, thereby allowing successful nucleosynthesis with a sizable contribution to the total cosmic energy density. This possibility significantly relaxes the existing bounds on Brans-Dicke fields, and opens the door to new possibilities for early universe cosmology. The necessary fine tunings required by such an arrangement are identified and discussed.

description: We study numerically the ordering process of two very simple dynamical models for a two-state variable on several topologies with increasing levels of heterogeneity in the degree distribution. We find that the zero-temperature Glauber dynamics for the Ising model may get trapped in sets of partially ordered metastable states even for finite system size, and this becomes more probable as the size increases. Voter dynamics instead always converges to full order on finite networks, even if this does not occur via coherent growth of domains. The time needed for order to be reached diverges with the system size. In both cases the ordering process is rather insensitive to the variation of the degreee distribution from sharply peaked to scale-free.

description: We study the magnetic-field dependence of Landau levels in graphene proximitized by large spin-orbit coupling materials, such as transition-metal dichalcogenides or topological insulators. In addition to the Rashba coupling, two types of intrinsic spin-orbit interactions, uniform (Kane-Mele type) and staggered (valley Zeeman type), are included, to resolve their interplay with magnetic orbital effects. Employing a continuum model approach, we derive analytic expressions for low-energy Landau levels, which can be used to extract local orbital and spin-orbit coupling parameters from scanning probe spectroscopy experiments. We compare different parameter regimes to identify fingerprints of relative and absolute magnitudes of intrinsic spin-orbit coupling in the spectra. The inverted band structure of graphene proximitized by WSe$_2$ leads to an interesting crossing of Landau states across the bulk gap at a crossover field, providing insights into the size of Rashba spin-orbit coupling. Landau level spectroscopy can help to resolve the type and signs of the intrinsic spin-orbit coupling by analyzing the symmetry in energy and number of crossings in the Landau fan chart. Finally, our results suggest that the strong response to the magnetic field of Dirac electrons in proximitized graphene can be associated with extremely large self-rotating magnetic moments.

description: We study the ground and low-lying excited states of O-15, O-17, N-15, and F-17 using modern two-body nucleon-nucleon interactions and the suitably designed variants of the ab initio equation-of-motion coupled-cluster theory aimed at an accurate description of systems with valence particles and holes. A number of properties of O-15, O-17, N-15, and F-17, including ways the energies of ground and excited states of valence systems around O-16 change as functions of the number of nucleons, are correctly reproduced by the equation-of-motion coupled-cluster calculations. Within a harmonic oscillator basis and large effective model spaces, our results are converged for the chosen two-body Hamiltonians. Thus, all disagreements with experiment are, most likely, due to the degrees of freedom such as three-body interactions not accounted for in our effective two-body Hamiltonians. In particular, the calculated binding energies of O-15/N-15 and O-17/F-17 enable us to rationalize the discrepancy between the experimental and recently published [Phys. Rev. Lett. 94, 212501 (2005)] equation-of-motion coupled-cluster excitation energies for the Jpi=3- state of O-16. The results demonstrate the feasibility of the equation-of-motion coupled-cluster methods to deal with valence systems around closed-shell nuclei and to provide precise results for systems beyond A=16.

description: Although, intangible assets play an important role in firm's success and its final value in the new knowledge based economy. There is fundamental challenges about valuation of knowledge assets and intangible value drivers and also assessment of its effect on firms success and performance . because according to current accounting standards, most of the intangible investments cannot report in the balance sheet. This research is aimed to modeling of intangible assets in the firms listed in Tehran Stock Exchange. For the purposes of the research, first to identify intangible assets aspects and financial measures of firms investments in each of aspects, concept of mapping was presented. Then by two proposed models, value of intangible assets for 143 firms from 1385 to 1392 was assessed. Finally from these two models, the more effective model was determined. According to the research findings, the proposed models have enough validity.

description: This study investigated various marketing strategies involving market windows at wholesale fruit and vegetable terminal markets. Data used in the analysis included weekly prices for okra, sweet corn, strawberries, and green cabbage at terminal markets located in Dallas, St. Louis, Atlanta, Chicago, Cincinnati, and Detroit. Strawberries showed relatively high profit margins for small farmers operating in southwest Mississippi. Sweet corn and okra showed more narrow profit margins, while green cabbage appeared to yield negative net returns (generally) for these farmers. Furthermore, stochastic dominance analysis of various combinations of crop/market/window revealed the following as the preferred marketing strategies: (1) strawberries in all markets in the last third of the calendar year; (2) sweet corn in all six markets in the first third of the calendar year; and (3) okra in St. Louis and Cincinnati in the first third of the calendar year.

description: We employ the Kramers-Henneberger Hamiltonian for time-independent calculations of multi-photon ionization of atoms with one and two electrons. As compared to the electromagnetic interaction in the length and velocity gauges, the presently employed Kramers-Henneberger gauge has an advantage of the dipole matrix elements for the free-free electron transitions being finite and well-defined quantities. This circumstance simplifies considerably the computations and allows to obtain accurate results for the two-photon ionization of realistic atomic systems.

description: Global warming has become an important issue in recent years because it represents a constantly growing threat to global biodiversity. It is anticipated that extinction risk due to climate change will increase for a large number of species in the future. Functional traits, such as habitat preferences or characteristics of the life cycle of the species, may affect the response of the individual species to climate change. Finding statistically significant relationship between individual traits and changes in the distribution of species indicates that these traits affect the ability of species to move their area of occupancy.
 The aim of this study was to estimate the extinction risk for 44 hoverfly species in Southeast Europe (endemic to the area and native non-endemics) based on the predicted changes in the potential area of occupancy for two time periods (2041-2060 and 2061-2080), and to establish which functional traits are correlated with range changes. Functional trait data were obtained from Speight et al. (2015) and expert opinion. Species distribution models were used for estimating range changes, while the relationship between functional traits and estimated changes in range was tested using linear regression models and linear mixed effect models.
 Results of both linear regression models and linear mixed effect models showed the existence of significant interdependence between defined functional traits of hoverflies and the estimated range changes for both analyzed time periods. In most cases, traits connected with changes in range size were larval microhabitat (concretely, root zone), period of flight during early summer and adult macrohabitat.

Our results show a slow decay of the dependence degree as a function of the lag. This feature is compatible with the existence of non-linearities in this type time series. In addition, we introduce a dynamical mechanism whose associated stationary probability density function (PDF) presents a good agreement with the empirical results.

description: We use the observed number and column-density distributions of intergalactic O VI absorbers to constrain the distribution of metals in the low-redshift intergalactic medium (IGM). In this simple model the metals in the O VI absorbers are assumed to be produced in and propagated from low-redshift galaxies drawn from a real sample, in this case the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS). This model can explain the observed dN/dz of metals seen in O VI absorbers if these metals are dispersed out to ~ 200 kpc by galaxies down to L \~ 0.01 - 0.1 L_r^*. Massive galaxies (L ~ L_r^*) by themselves cannot provide the necessary enrichment unless they can enrich volumes out to $\gtrsim 0.5 - 1 Mpc. Alternatively, our model allows an estimate of the fraction of O VI absorbers directly caused by galaxies rather than hot IGM. With this assumption we explore the possible connections between the intergalactic O VI absorbers and the known populations of highly-ionized high-velocity clouds (HVCs) surrounding the Milky Way. Our model predicts that more sensitive, complete surveys optimized to uncover weaker O VI absorbers will find the tentative turnover below log N(O VI) ~ 13.5 to be a real effect resulting from the apparently limited volumes over which galaxies can enrich the IGM. If so, it would indicate that metals are not as widespread throughout the low-density IGM as they are assumed to be in cosmological simulations of the WHIM.

description: Successful farming requires a clear understanding of the forces shaping agriculture and the direction that the farm is headed. Success also requires an effective method for executing and monitoring both strategic and operational plans. This paper provides an introduction to strategic planning and its application to the farm business. The material in this publication provides a brief description of the strategic planning process, reviews areas in which farm operators make strategic choices and some of the risks that accompany these strategic choices, illustrates the use of process planning methods as a means of linking strategy and operations, and describes the use of benchmarking as a method for monitoring progress and improving performance. While this material provides several suggestions for developing and implementing strategic plans, the focus should be on the process, not the plan. Successful strategic plans are seldom created by a one-time planning effort. Rather, they evolve by a continuing process of assessing business strengths and weaknesses and assessing opportunities.

description: The divergence structure of non-commutative gauge field theories (NCGFT) with a Slavnov extension is examined at one-loop level with main focus on the gauge boson self-energy. Using an interpolating gauge we show that even with this extension the quadratic IR divergence of the gauge boson self-energy is independent from a covariant gauge fixing as well as from an axial gauge. The proposal of Slavnov is based on the fact that the photon propagator shows a new transversality condition with respect to the IR dangerous terms. This novel transversality is implemented with the help of a new dynamical multiplier field. However, one expects that in physical observables such contributions disappear. A further new feature is the existence of new UV divergences compatible with the gauge invariance (BRST symmetry). We then examine two explicit models with couplings to fermions and scalar fields.

Creating a caring community : an Israeli case study of teacher professional development
Creators: name: Vaisman, Tamar
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study focuses on the processes of creating and maintaining a community of teachers in an Israeli high-school. Ten high-school teachers were self-selected to participate in a yearlong professional development focusing on learning and teaching. The participants directed their own professional development by collaboratively sharing and reflecting on their practice. The methodology used for data gathering is rooted in the case study tradition within the philosophy of naturalistic inquiry. The weekly meetings throughout one academic year were recorded and transcribed. Teachers were interviewed three times: at the beginning and end of the year, and two years later, to leam about reasons for participating and evaluation of the community, and to allow further reflections on their experiences in the community. Two main concepts - community and caring relationships - emerged from group conversations and personal interviews, and were used as the study's analytical tools. Three topics were revisited in our conversations throughout the year: teacher-students relationships, teaching strategies, and evaluation of learning for both teachers and students. The conversations revealed the processes of creating an atmosphere of care, trust and openness that enhanced the development of genuine dialogue that turned this group into a caring community. The caring relationships encouraged teachers to make changes in their teaching and suggest changes at the school level. These relationships enhanced teachers' ability to leam from their encounters and helped them develop awareness of the importance of such relations within the educational context. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of teachers' community. It suggests that communities (a) support teachers by enhancing dialogue among them; (b) contribute to social change within the limited context of the school; and (c) add to the construction of knowledge about teaching, learning, and schooling. If schools aim to teach recognition of diverse voices where people strive to care for and understand each other, then teachers should leam and exercise these behaviours. The most viable space for the occurrence of such learning is within teachers' communities. This study, then, gives strength to arguing for the pursuit of communities in school.
On Vector Bundles of Finite Order

description: We study growth of holomorphic vector bundles E over smooth affine manifolds. We define Finsler metrics of finite order on E by estimates on the holomorphic bisectional curvature. These estimates are very similar to the ones used by Griffiths and Cornalba to define Hermitian metrics of finite order. We then generalize the Vanishing Theorem of Griffiths and Cornalba to the Finsler context. We develop a value distribution theory for holomorphic maps from the projectivization of E to projective space. We show that the projectivization of E can be immersed into a projective space of sufficiently large dimension via a map of finite order.

Veränderung der Herzfrequenzvariabilität über die Zeit anhand von Daten der CARLA-Studie
Creators: name: Hollmann, Konstantin Friedemann
Publisher: name: Universitäts- und Landesbibliothek Sachsen-Anhalt
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: 610

description: Eine reduzierte Herzratenvariabilität (HRV) gilt als Indikator der autonomen Dysfunktion. Querschnitts-Untersuchungen der Assoziation zwischen kardiovaskulären Erkrankungen (CVD) und einer verminderten HRV sind bisher inkonsistent. Anhand der Basiserhebung sowie der ersten Follow-up-Untersuchung der CARLA-Studie (Cardiovascular disease, living and ageing in Halle) erfolgte eine Untersuchung dieser Zusammenhänge im Längsschnitt. Hierfür wurden zeit- und frequenzbasierte Parameter der 5-Minuten-HRV von 1281 Probanden berechnet. Die Analyse der Zusammenhänge zwischen den Determinanten und der HRV-Veränderung wurden mittels linearer Regressionsmodelle realisiert. Eine Untersuchung auf Erratic Sinus Rhythms (ESR) erfolgte anhand von Poincaré-Plots. Die Berechnungen zeigten keine schlüssigen Assoziationen zwischen CVD und der HRV-Veränderung. Die Veränderungen waren mehrheitlich nicht signifikant. Bei über 65-Jährigen Männern zeigte sich ein unerwarteter Anstieg der High frequency power. Eine Maskierung dieser Zunahme durch ESR konnte bestätigt werden. Weitere Untersuchungen mit älteren Kohorten sind erforderlich.
description: Reduced heart rate variability (HRV) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Cross-sectional studies of the association between cardiovascular disease (CVD) and decreased HRV have been inconsistent. Based on the first follow-up of the CARLA study (Cardiovascular disease, living and aging in Halle), a longitudinal analysis of these relationships was carried out. Time- and frequency-based parameters of the 5-minute HRV of 1281 subjects were calculated. The relationships between the determinants and the HRV change were analyzed using linear regression models. An Erratic Sinus Rhythms (ESR) study was performed using Poincaré plots. The analyzes showed no conclusive associations between CVD and the HRV change. Most of the changes were not significant. Men over the age of 65 showed an unexpected increase in high frequency power. A masking of this increase by ESR could be confirmed.Further investigations with older cohorts are required.

description: We consider the flow of a Newtonian fluid in a nano or microchannel with walls that have patterned variations in slip length. We formulate a set of equations to describe the effects on an incompressible Newtonian flow of small variations in slip, and solve these equations for slow flows. We test these equations using molecular dynamics simulations of flow between two walls which have patterned variations in wettability. Good qualitative agreement and a reasonable degree of quantitative agreement is found between the theory and the molecular dynamics simulations. The results of both analyses show that patterned wettability can be used to induce complex variations in flow. Finally we discuss the implications of our results for the design of microfluidic mixers using slip.

description: We present an accurate machine learning (ML) model for atomistic simulations of carbon, constructed using the Gaussian approximation potential (GAP) methodology. The potential, named GAP-20, describes the properties of the bulk crystalline and amorphous phases, crystal surfaces and defect structures with an accuracy approaching that of direct ab initio simulation, but at a significantly reduced cost. We combine structural databases for amorphous carbon and graphene, which we extend substantially by adding suitable configurations, for example, for defects in graphene and other nanostructures. The final potential is fitted to reference data computed using the optB88-vdW density functional theory (DFT) functional. Dispersion interactions, which are crucial to describe multilayer carbonaceous materials, are therefore implicitly included. We additionally account for long-range dispersion interactions using a semianalytical two-body term and show that an improved model can be obtained through an optimisation of the many-body smooth overlap of atomic positions (SOAP) descriptor. We rigorously test the potential on lattice parameters, bond lengths, formation energies and phonon dispersions of numerous carbon allotropes. We compare the formation energies of an extensive set of defect structures, surfaces and surface reconstructions to DFT reference calculations. The present work demonstrates the ability to combine, in the same ML model, the previously attained flexibility required for amorphous carbon [Phys. Rev. B, 95, 094203, (2017)] with the high numerical accuracy necessary for crystalline graphene [Phys. Rev. B, 97, 054303, (2018)], thereby providing an interatomic potential that will be applicable to a wide range of applications concerning diverse forms of bulk and nanostructured carbon.

description: This report explains the principal economic and legal features of a unique set of data on 283 modern private international cartels discovered anywhere in the world from January 1990 to the end of 2005. Measured in real 2005 money, aggregate cartel sales and overcharges totaled about $1.2 trillion and $500 billion, respectively. In the early 2000s, about 35 such cartels were discovered each year. We find that global cartels comprise more than half of the sample's affected sales and are larger, longer lasting, and more injurious than other types. In the early 2000s world-wide corporate penalties stabilized at or above $2 billion per year, one-thousand times penalties in the early 1990s. More than 40% of those penalties were from settlements in private suits, and most of the rest are fines imposed by U.S. and EU antitrust authorities. Median penalties are low: from 1.4% to 4.9% of affected sales, depending on the type of prosecution. As a proportion of damages, median fines ranged from less than 1% for EU-wide cartels to 17.6% for Canada. Private plaintiffs obtained 38% of damages from international cartelists. World wide, median real cartel penalties of all types amounted to less than 5% of overcharges. [See Summary next page for more details]
