description: We investigate the performance of a streamlined version of Shor's algorithm in which the quantum Fourier transform is replaced by a banded version that for each qubit retains only coupling to its $b$ nearest neighbors. Defining the performance $P(n,b)$ of the $n$-qubit algorithm for bandwidth $b$ as the ratio of the success rates of Shor's algorithm equipped with the banded and the full bandwidth ($b=n-1$) versions of the quantum Fourier transform, our numerical simulations show that $P(n,b) \approx \exp[-φ_{max}^2 (n,b)/100]$ for $n < n_t(b)$ (non-exponential regime) and $P(n,b) \approx 2^{-ξ_b (n-8)}$ for $n>n_t(b)$ (exponential regime), where $n_{t}(b)$, the location of the transition, is approximately given by $n_{t}(b)\approx b+5.9 + \sqrt{7.7(b+2)-47}$ for $b\gtrsim 8$, $φ_{max} (n,b) = 2π[2^{-b-1} (n-b-2) + 2^{-n}]$, and $ξ_b\approx 1.1 \times 2^{-2b}$. Analytically we obtain $P(n,b) \approx \exp[-φ_{max}^2 (n,b)/64]$ for $nn_t(b)$, where $ξ_{b}^{(a)} \approx \frac{π^2}{12 \ln(2)} \times 2^{-2b} \approx 1.19 \times 2^{-2b}$. Thus, our analytical results predict the $φ_{max}^2$ scaling ($nn_t$) of the data perfectly. In addition, in the large-$n$ regime, the prefactor in $ξ_b^{(a)}$ is close to the results of our numerical simulations and, in the low-$n$ regime, the numerical scaling factor in our analytical result is within a factor 2 of its numerical value. As an example we show that $b=8$ is sufficient for factoring RSA-2048 with a 95% success rate.

description: The advent and spread of counterfeit goods in medical supply chains is an opportunistic activity by actors who take advantage of information asymmetry between themselves and the rest of the supply chain. Counterfeiters, fraudsters, and companies who intend to cut corners have asymmetric knowledge of the quality (substandard) of the products they possess and are not obligated, but have a disincentive, to share that asymmetric knowledge. This has led to a medical supply chain that is riddled with asymmetric information from consumers, all the way upstream to manufacturers. The asymmetric information present in the supply chain allows agents to take advantage of the demand and chaos in the system to act contrary to the principal’s, in this case the supply chain, best interest as described in the agent-principal theory. The problem related to information asymmetry in principal-agent relationships, including those encapsulated in supply chains, is well documented in prior literature. The missing piece of research deals with quantification of information asymmetry metrics and assessing supply chain of goods. This research explored current and proposed information asymmetry mitigating activities including the potential applications of technology-based methods of reducing information asymmetry within the medical supply chains including distributed ledger technology. Five data aggregation services were searched for relevant literature generating a final sample for analysis of 90 documents (ndocuments = 90). A qualitative meta-analysis methodology was conducted using Nvivo as exploratory research to analyze content in the corpus of documents and extract key themes relevant to each research question then synthesize frequencies of key themes such that information asymmetry in medical supply chains can be decomposed into agents, conditions, and contributing factors.

description: We introduce a q-weighted version of the Robinson-Schensted (column insertion) algorithm which is closely connected to q-Whittaker functions (or Macdonald polynomials with t=0) and reduces to the usual Robinson-Schensted algorithm when q=0. The q-insertion algorithm is `randomised', or `quantum', in the sense that when inserting a positive integer into a tableau, the output is a distribution of weights on a particular set of tableaux which includes the output which would have been obtained via the usual column insertion algorithm. There is also a notion of recording tableau in this setting. We show that the distribution of weights of the pair of tableaux obtained when one applies the q-insertion algorithm to a random word or permutation takes a particularly simple form and is closely related to q-Whittaker functions. In the case $0\le q<1$, the q-insertion algorithm applied to a random word also provides a new framework for solving the q-TASEP interacting particle system introduced (in the language of q-bosons) by Sasamoto and Wadati (1998) and yields formulas which are equivalent to some of those recently obtained by Borodin and Corwin (2011) via a stochastic evolution on discrete Gelfand-Tsetlin patterns (or semistandard tableaux) which is coupled to the q-TASEP process. We show that the sequence of P-tableaux obtained when one applies the q-insertion algorithm to a random word defines another, quite different, evolution on semistandard tableaux which is also coupled to the q-TASEP process.

description: We present Spitzer InfraRed Spectrograph (IRS) low-resolution spectra of 16 spectroscopically selected post-starburst quasars (PSQs) at z ~ 0.3. The optical spectra of these broad-lined active galactic nuclei (AGNs) simultaneously show spectral signatures of massive intermediate-aged stellar populations making them good candidates for studying the connections between AGNs and their hosts. The resulting spectra show relatively strong polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) emission features at 6.2 and 11.3\micron and a very weak silicate feature, indicative of ongoing star formation and low dust obscuration levels for the AGNs. We find that the mid-infrared composite spectrum of PSQs has spectral properties between ULIRGs and QSOs, suggesting that PSQs are hybrid AGN and starburst systems as also seen in their optical spectra. We also find that PSQs in early-type host galaxies tend to have relatively strong AGN activities, while those in spiral hosts have stronger PAH emission, indicating more star formation.

description: We show that the rate of closing of the energy gap between the ground state and the first excited state, as a function of system size, behaves in many qualitatively different ways at first-order quantum phase transitions of the infinite-range quantum XY model. Examples include polynomial, exponential and even factorially fast closing of the energy gap, all of which coexist along a single axis of the phase diagram representing the transverse field. This variety emerges depending on whether or not the transverse field assumes a rational number as well as on how the series of system size is chosen toward the thermodynamic limit. We conclude that there is no generically applicable rule to relate the rate of gap closing and the order of quantum phase transitions as is often implied in many studies, in particular in relation to the computational complexity of quantum annealing in its implementation as quantum adiabatic computation.

description: A frequency-stabilized ultraviolet laser system, locked to the thallium resonant transition of 377.5 nm, was demonstrated using a novel bichromatic spectroscopy technique for tuning the zero-crossing laser-lock point. The atomic thallium system is a promising candidate in atomic parity violation and permanent electric dipole moment experiments, and its 377.5 nm 6P1/2->7S1/2 transition is important for thallium laser cooling and trapping experiment. The pressure shift, owing to the high pressure buffer gas of the hollow-cathode lamp, was observed using an atomic beam resonance as reference. Such a shift was corrected by adjusting the peak ratio of the two Doppler-free saturation profiles resulted from two pumping beams with a 130 MHz frequency difference. The resulted frequency stability of the ultraviolet laser is ?0.5 MHz at 0.1 sec integration time. This scheme is compact and versatile for stabilizing UV laser systems, which acquire a sub-MHz stability and frequency tunability.

description: On October 8th, 2011 the Earth crossed the dust trails left by comet 21P/Giacobini-Zinner during its XIX and XX century perihelion approaches with the comet being close to perihelion. The geometric circumstances of that encounter were thus favorable to produce a meteor storm, but the trails were much older than in the 1933 and 1946 historical encounters. As a consequence the 2011 October Draconid display exhibited several activity peaks with Zenithal Hourly Rates of about 400 meteors per hour. In fact, if the display had been not forecasted, it could have passed almost unnoticed as was strongly attenuated for visual observers due to the Moon. This suggests that most meteor storms of a similar nature could have passed historically unnoticed under unfavorable weather and Moon observing conditions. The possibility of obtaining information on the physical properties of cometary meteoroids penetrating the atmosphere under low-geocentric velocity encounter circumstances motivated us to set up a special observing campaign. Added to the Spanish Fireball Network wide-field all-sky and CCD video monitoring, other high-sensitivity 1/2" black and white CCD video cameras were attached to modified medium-field lenses for obtaining high resolution orbital information. The trajectory, radiant, and orbital data of 16 October Draconid meteors observed at multiple stations are presented. The results show that the meteors appeared from a geocentric radiant located at R.A.=263.0+-0.4 deg. and Dec.=+55.3+-0.3 deg. that is in close agreement with the radiant predicted for the 1873-1894 and the 1900 dust trails. The estimated mass of material from 21P/Giacobini-Zinner delivered to Earth during the six-hours outburst was around 950+-150 kg.

description: In this paper, a methodology analysis was carried out for the application of stratified random sampling with optimum allocation in the case of a research topic involving the rural population and exhibiting high differentiations among the three strata into which this population could be classified. The rural population of Evros Prefecture (Greece) was classified into three strata based on the mean altitude of settlements for the estimation of mean consumption of forest fuelwood for covering heating and cooking needs in households in these three strata. The quantitative variable used to form strata is in the case of this study the family income that is called a factor. With this stratification we expect to have more homogeneity within the strata so that we need a smaller size of sample and the application of stratified random sampling to be more economic than the simple random sampling. The analysis of this methodology includes a) determining the total size of the sample for the entire rural population and allocating it to the various strata; b) investigating the effectiveness of stratification using the technique of analysis of variance (One-Way ANOVA); and c) going to conduct sampling research with the realization of face-to-face interviews in selected households and d) the control of forms of the questionnaire and the analysis of data by using the statistical package for social sciences, SPSS for Windows. All data for the analysis of this methodology and its practical application were collected through pilot sampling in each stratum. The review of literature did not turn up any relative papers.

description: Chiral gauge theories in two dimensions with (0,2) supersymmetry are central in the study of string compactifications. Remarkably little is known about generic (0,2) theories. We consider theories with branches on which multiplets with a net gauge anomaly become massive. The simplest example is a relevant perturbation of the gauge theory that flows to the CP(n) model. To compute the effective action, we derive a useful set of Feynman rules for (0,2) supergraphs. From the effective action, we see that the infra-red geometry reflects the gauge anomaly by the presence of a boundary at finite distance. In generic examples, there are boundaries, fluxes and branes; the resulting spaces are non-Kahler.

description: A new series of thiazole-based bis(Schiff bases) attached to different arene units were efficiently prepared using a three-component tandem protocol. The proposed protocol involved the reaction of aromatic aldehydes, thiosemicarbazide, and bis(α-haloketone) to produce the desired products. The target hybrids were formed by an initial thiosemicarbazone formation in ethanol at 80 °C for 120–150 min, followed by triethylamine-mediated Hantzsch thiazole synthesis in dioxane at 100 °C for 150–180 min. The new hybrids were screened against diverse bacterial strains. The hybrids attached to p-Cl, p-Br, and p-Me had more effective efficacy than ciprofloxacin against S. aureus, and E. coli strains, while they had comparable efficacy to ciprofloxacin against S. mutans, and K. pneumonia strains. Their MIC/MBC values ranged between 1.3–3.2 and 2.6–6.5 µM, respectively, against the previous strains. Additionally, they displayed more effective MRSA inhibitory activity than linezolid with MIC/MBC values in the range of 3.0–21.3 µM.

description: Clouds influence the climate through both positive and negative feedback. To study these effects at local scale, a radiation station was set up, which used two CM21 Kipp & Zonen pyranometers (one inverted), and two CG1 Kipp & Zonen pyrgeometers (one inverted) in Logan, Utah, USA. Four CV2 Kipp & Zonen ventilation systems were used to ventilate the pyranometers and pyrgeometers. The ventilation of pyranometers and pyrgeometers prevent dew, frost and snow accumulation, which would otherwise disrupt the measurement. Knowing that available energy (Rn) as Rn = Rsi - Rso + Rli - Rlo where Rsi and Rso are downward and upward solar radiation, respectively, and Rli and Rlo as atmospheric and terrestrial, respectively, on a daily and annual basis, the consequences of cloudiness were assessed. The findings indicate that for the partly cloudy days of 4 and 5 September, 2007, cloudiness caused less available energy (Rn) in the amounts of -1.83 MJ·m-2·d-1 and -3.83 MJ·m-2·d-1 on these days, respectively. Because of the cloudiness at the experimental site, as illustrated,, the net radiation loss was 2,804 - 4,055 = -1,251 MJ·m-2·y-1, As a result of the cloudiness, this implies a negative feedback.

description: Defect formation in the one-dimensional topological three-band model is examined within both lattice and continuum models. Classic results of Jackiw-Rebbi and Rice-Mele for the soliton charge is generalized to the three-band model. The presence of the central flat band in the three-band model makes the soliton charge as a function of energy behave in a qualitatively different way from the two-band Dirac model case. Quantum field-theoretical calculation of Goldstone and Wilczek is also generalized to the three-band model to obtain the soliton charge. Diamond-chain lattice is shown to be an ideal structure to host a topological three-band structure.

description: Following a paper by Athanasios Angelakis and Peter Stevenhagen on the determination of imaginary quadratic fields having the same absolute Abelian Galois group A, we study this property for arbitrary number fields. We show that such a property is probably not easily generalizable, apart from imaginary quadratic fields, because of some p-adic obstructions coming from the global units. By restriction to the p-Sylow subgroups of A, we show that the corresponding study is related to a generalization of the classical notion of p-rational fields. However, we obtain some non-trivial information about the structure of the profinite group A, for every number field, by application of results published in our book on class field theory. This version corrects a technical error discovered by Peter Stevenhagen in a lemma of their first draft (arXiv:1209.6005) as well as in the previous versions of our paper reproducing this lemma; it will also be corrected in their final paper to appear in the proceedings volume of ANTS-X, San Diego 2012.

description: Mass formulas for the light-vector mesons written in terms of the gluon condensate i.e., the trace anomaly in quantum chromodynamics (QCD), are derived on the basis of finite energy QCD sum rules. We utilize sum rules with $s^n$ and $s^{n+1/2}$ weights, which relate the energy-weighted spectral sums to the vacuum expectation values of certain commutation relations. After evaluating the commutation relations, the sum rules with $s^n$ weights are reduced to the familiar ones obtained from the operator product expansion (OPE). On the other hand, the sum rules with $s^{n+1/2}$ weights cannot be derived from OPE. They give new relations between the spectral sums and QCD vacuum fluctuations. To derive simple mass formula, we adopt the pole + continuum Ansatz for the spectral function, and solve coupled equations given by the sum rules with $s^{0,1}$ weights and the new sum rule with $s^{1/2}$ weight. Application of our approach to the axial-vector meson is also discussed.

Subjects: history of arbitration in India, legal framework for arbitration, effectiveness of arbitration India.

description: Arbitration in India has emerged as a pivotal mechanism for resolving commercial disputes, offering a streamlined, private, and party-driven alternative to conventional litigation. In recent years, arbitration has become an increasingly attractive option for resolving legal disputes. The statement "Will See you in court" has given way to "Sit together and settle" due to the arbitration's beneficial outcomes. Over the years, a number of revolutionary methods and techniques have been established in our legal system.

Designed to uphold the principles of autonomy, efficiency, and finality, the Indian arbitration framework is governed by the Arbitration and Conciliation Act, 1996 a legislation inspired by global standards yet tailored to domestic needs. The transformation of arbitration from a peripheral concept to a mainstream dispute resolution tool reflects India's evolving legal values speed, specialization, and procedural flexibility. With the rise of institutional arbitration and the establishment of dedicated arbitration centres, India is steadily positioning itself as an attractive venue for both domestic and international parties. Yet, the journey toward becoming an arbitration powerhouse demands more than just legal reform; it requires cultivating a culture of trust, professionalism, and enforcement certainty.

This article examines the legal landscape of arbitration in India, critically analyzing the synergy between legislative intent and judicial approach, while evaluating the nation’s readiness to position itself as a global arbitration hub. The paper concludes with recommendations for strengthening arbitration culture through consistent policy measures, enhanced infrastructure, and a paradigm shift toward institutionalization.

description: Performing a fit to all publicly available data, we analyze the extent to which the latest results from the LHC and Tevatron constrain the couplings of the Higgs boson-like state at ~ 125 GeV. To this end we assume that only Standard Model (SM) particles appear in the Higgs decays, but tree-level Higgs couplings to the up-quarks, down-quarks and vector bosons, relative to the SM are free parameters. We also assume that the leptonic couplings relative to the SM are the same as for the down-quark, and a custodial symmetry for the V=W,Z couplings. In the simplest approach, the effective Higgs couplings to gluons and photons are computed in terms of the previous parameters. This approach is also applied to Two-Higgs-Doublet Models of Type I and Type II. However, we also explore the possibility that the net Higgs to gluon-gluon and gamma-gamma couplings have extra loop contributions coming from Beyond-the-Standard Model physics. We find that the SM p-value ~ 0.5 is more than 2 sigma away from fits in which: a) there is some non-SM contribution to the gamma-gamma coupling of the Higgs; or b) the sign of the top quark coupling to the Higgs is opposite that of the W coupling. In both these cases p-values ~ 0.9 can be achieved. Since option b) is difficult to realize in realistic models, it would seem that new physics contributions to the effective couplings of the Higgs are preferred.

description: First-principles surface phase diagrams reveal that epitaxial monolayer graphene films on the Si side of 3C-SiC(111) can exist as thermodynamically stable phases in a narrow range of experimentally controllable conditions, defining a path to the highest-quality graphene films. Our calculations are based on a van der Waals corrected density functional. The full, experimentally observed (6 sqrt(3)x 6 sqrt(3))-R30 supercells for zero- to trilayer graphene are essential to describe the correct interface geometries and the relative stability of surface phases and possible defects.

description: Herein, we report a facile one-pot synthetic method for a new class of pyrazol-4-yl- and 2H-chromene-based substituted anilines (arenes) from ethyl 2-cyanoacetate, pyrazole aldehydes, and various nitrostyrenes in the presence of the catalyst Et3N (5 mol%) in ethanol under reflux conditions. This method requires a common organocatalyst, inexpensive starting materials, and short reaction times. A wide range of substrate scaffolds were tolerated well to afford the desired products in good to excellent yields (85–95%). Two compounds of pyrazolyl based anilines bearing the electron donating methoxy groups exhibited emissions in the redshift region and could have potential applications as fluorescence probes in biological imaging. Seven compounds of pyrazolyl based anilines bearing the electron donating methoxy and methyl groups demonstrated significant antibacterial and antifungal activity against the tested microbial strains and dermatophyte fungi, respectively.

description: In this paper, we explain the regularity, projective dimension and depth of edge ideal of some classes of graphs in terms of invariants of graphs. We show that for a $C_5$-free vertex decomposable graph $G$, $\T{reg}(R/I(G))= c_G$, where $c_G$ is the maximum number of 3-disjoint edges in $G$. Moreover for this class of graphs we characterize $\T{pd}(R/I(G))$ and $\T{depth}(R/I(G))$. As a corollary we describe these invariants in forests and sequentially Cohen-Macaulay bipartite graphs.

description: The center phase transition at non-vanishing temperatures is investigated in Landau gauge Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) and scalar QCD. For each theory novel order parameters for the transition are introduced. The matter-gluon vertex which occurs in the Dyson-Schwinger equations of the propagators has to be modeled in contemporary studies. It is found that the nature of the phase transition depends strongly on the detailed structure of this vertex. Our investigation motivates a precise determination of the matter-gluon vertex at non-vanishing temperatures.

description: With the support of a new generation of mobile devices, e-commerce is being transformed into m-commerce. While traditional fixed PC Internet access remains crucial, mobile Internet connection looks to be attracting more consumers due to its flexibility. The goal of this study is to develop and assess a mathematical model that captures how mobile Access to the internet affects e-commerce performance. The original paper by Sumita and Yoshii [1] is enhanced for better reality. Traditional e-commerce, which requires a fixed PC, is contrasted with m-commerce, which allows for both fixed and mobile access. The explicit distributions of the number of items purchased by time t and the time required to sell K products are derived. The behavioural contrasts between m-commerce and regular e-commerce users are illustrated with numerical examples.
Support Simplified
Creators: Supriya Rao
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2024

This thesis investigates the creation of a digital platform designed to improve the accessibility

of support resources for international graduate students at the University of Alberta. The

influx of international students into Canadian universities presents unique challenges related

to cultural adjustment, academic integration, and access to essential resources. Through a

user-centered design process, this research addresses the gaps in information accessibility

that hinder these students’ ability to fully engage with university services.

The study begins with an in-depth analysis of existing literature on information accessibility,

digital technologies in education, and the specific needs of international students. A

combination of qualitative and quantitative research methods, including surveys, interviews,

and comprehensive website audits, were employed to gather data on the experiences of

international students. Key challenges identified include difficulties in navigating the

university’s website, a lack of clear organization of support resources, and the cultural and

linguistic barriers that complicate access to critical information. Based on these challenges,

the thesis outlines the development of “Belong,” a digital platform specifically tailored to meet

the needs of international graduate students. The design process involved the use of

wireframes, card sorting exercises, and iterative user testing to ensure that the platform’s

structure aligns with users’ mental models and priorities. The final design features a

streamlined information architecture, intuitive navigation, and a cohesive visual identity that

reflects both the University of Alberta’s branding and the unique needs of its international

student population.

The “Belong” platform aims to provide a centralized, easily navigable resource that addresses

the most pressing concerns of international students, including cultural adaptation, health and

wellness, housing, and academic support. By improving the visibility and organization of these

resources, the aim of this platform is to reduce the anxiety associated with transitioning to a

new environment and to foster a stronger sense of community and belonging among

international students. This research contributes to the field of user experience design in

education by offering a model for enhancing information accessibility and user engagement

for diverse student populations. The findings and methodologies presented in this project can

be applied to similar challenges in other educational contexts, paving the way for more

inclusive and effective digital solutions.
A Study Of The Oxidation Products Of Sesamol - A Naturally Occuring Antioxidant
Creators: name: Hailey, PA
Publisher: name: London South Bank University
Year: 1989

description: This investigation was undertaken to determine the oxidation products of sesamol in a variety of oxidising systems and to postulate a possible mechanism for their formation. Initially a literature review was completed concerning oxidation products derived from synthetic and natural antioxidants, and the role antioxidants have in inhibiting lipid autoxidation. A literature survey of the oxidation methods employed in various antioxidant studies was also performed. A complete spectroscopic study of sesamol was performed (IR/UV/MS/NMR) and the first unequivocal assignment of the 3¢ NMR spectra of sesamol was achieved using a variety of pulse sequences. The use of high-performance-liquid-chromatography (HPLC) was investigated in this study to separate the oxidation products derived from sesamol. A number of HPLC systems were investigated employing both isocratic and gradient elution to optimise separations. The influence of the methanol content on the peak shape of phenolic species is discussed. The oxidation methods of sesamol employed in this study were: (1) Ultra-violet irradiation; (ii) Horseraddish Peroxidase/Hydrogen Peroxide; (iii) Alkaline Potassium Ferricyanide; and (iv) Autoxidising Unsaturated Fatty Acid Methyl Esters. The products from these. oxidations were monitored using HPLC. Semi-preparative HPLC and Prep TLC were employed to isolate pure fractions for spectroscopic studies. This HPLC method was used in both the analytical and semi-preparative mode; thin layer chromatography (TLC) and column chromatography were also employed in this study to achieve preparative isolation of products. A number of novel oxidation products were isolated and employing spectroscopic techniques their structures were determined as two distinctly different dimeric structures and a spiroketal trimeric structure. Mechanisms for their formation have been proposed. A number of minor products were also isolated in sufficient quantities for mass spectral investigations only. Mass spectral data would indicate trimeric and tetrameric structures of sesamol. Employing autoxidising unsaturated fatty acid methyl esters showed that the formation of sesamol/sesamol oxidation products was only a minor oxidation route. It is proposed that the major oxidation route for sesamol in these systems involves the formation of sesamol/lipid adducts.
