description: For over 100 years, the group-theoretic characterization of crystalline solids has provided the foundational language for diverse problems in physics and chemistry. However, the group theory of crystals with commensurate magnetic order has remained incomplete for the past 70 years, due to the complicated symmetries of magnetic crystals. In this work, we complete the 100-year-old problem of crystalline group theory by deriving the small corepresentations, momentum stars, compatibility relations, and magnetic elementary band corepresentations of the 1,421 magnetic space groups (MSGs), which we have made freely accessible through tools on the Bilbao Crystallographic Server. We extend Topological Quantum Chemistry to the MSGs to form a complete, real-space theory of band topology in magnetic and nonmagnetic crystalline solids - Magnetic Topological Quantum Chemistry (MTQC). Using MTQC, we derive the complete set of symmetry-based indicators of electronic band topology, for which we identify symmetry-respecting bulk and anomalous surface and hinge states.

description: Food consumption behaviors in food secure and food insecure households are compared. A two-stage budgeting and a double-hurdle model are used in the estimation. The results of the paper show that both food away from home and food at home are normal goods for both food secure and food insecure households. However, the effects of family structure on food consumption differ for the two household types. For food secure households, having one more child or one more working family member results in a larger marginal increase in food consumption than that for food insecure households. In addition, households with married heads of household are more likely to eat out in food secure households but less likely to eat out in food insecure households compared to households with unmarried heads of household.

Simple upper and lower bounds on the ultimate success probability for discriminating arbitrary finite-dimensional quantum processes
Creators: name: Nakahira, Kenji

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider the problem of discriminating finite-dimensional quantum processes, also called quantum supermaps, that can consist of multiple time steps. Obtaining the ultimate performance for discriminating quantum processes is of fundamental importance, but is challenging mainly due to the necessity of considering all discrimination strategies allowed by quantum mechanics, including entanglement-assisted strategies and adaptive strategies. In the case in which the processes to be discriminated have internal memories, the ultimate performance would generally be more difficult to analyze. In this paper, we present a simple upper bound on the ultimate success probability for discriminating arbitrary quantum processes. In the special case of multi-shot channel discrimination, it can be shown that the ultimate success probability increases by at most a constant factor determined by the given channels if the number of channel evaluations increases by one. We also present a lower bound based on Bayesian updating, which has a low computational cost. Our numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed bounds are reasonably tight. The proposed bounds do not explicitly depend on any quantum phenomena, and can be readily extended to a general operational probabilistic theory.

description: Using molecular dynamics computer simulations we investigate the structural and dynamical properties of a simple model for a colloidal gel at low volume fraction. We find that at low T the system is forming an open percolating cluster, without any sign of a phase separation. The nature of the relaxation dynamics depends strongly on the length scale/wave-vector considered and can be directly related to the geometrical properties of the spanning cluster.

Many-body Landau-Zener effect at fast sweep

description: The asymptotic staying probability P in the Landau-Zener effect with interaction is analytically investigated at fast sweep, epsilon = pi Delta^2/(2 hbar v) << 1. We have rigorously calculated the value of I_0 in the expansion P =~ 1 - epsilon + epsilon^2/2 + epsilon^2 I_0 for arbitrary couplings and relative resonance shifts of individual tunneling particles. The results essentially differ from those of the mean-field approximation. It is shown that strong long-range interactions such as dipole-dipole interaction (DDI) generate huge values of I_0 because flip of one particle strongly influences many others. However, in the presence of strong static disorder making resonance for individual particles shifted with respect to each other the influence of interactions is strongly reduced. In molecular magnets the main source of static disorder is the coupling to nuclear spins. Our calculations using the actual shape of the Fe-8 crystal studied in the the Landau-Zener experiments [Wernsdorfer et al, Europhys. Lett. 50, 552 (2000)] yield I_0 that is in a good agreement with the value extracted from the experimental data.

description: We report the first measurements of the voltage noise in the surface superconductivity state of a type-II superconductor. We present strong evidences that surface vortices generates surface current fluctuations whose magnitude can be modified by the pinning ability of the surface. Simple two-stage mechanism governed by current conservation appears to describe the data. We conclude that large voltage fluctuations induced by surface vortices exist while the bulk is metallic. Furthermore, this experiment shows that sole surface current fluctuations can account for the noise observed even in the presence of vortices in the bulk.

description: Future missions of gravitational-wave astronomy will be operated by space-based interferometers, covering very wide range of frequency. Search for stochastic gravitational-wave backgrounds (GWBs) is one of the main targets for such missions, and we here discuss the prospects for direct measurement of isotropic and anisotropic components of (primordial) GWBs around the frequency 0.1-10 Hz. After extending the theoretical basis for correlation analysis, we evaluate the sensitivity and the signal-to-noise ratio for the proposed future space interferometer missions, like Big-Bang Observer (BBO), Deci-Hertz Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observer (DECIGO) and recently proposed Fabry-Perot type DECIGO. The astrophysical foregrounds which are expected at low frequency may be a big obstacle and significantly reduce the signal-to-noise ratio of GWBs. As a result, minimum detectable amplitude may reach h^2 \ogw = 10^{-15} \sim 10^{-16}, as long as foreground point sources are properly subtracted. Based on correlation analysis, we also discuss measurement of anisotropies of GWBs. As an example, the sensitivity level required for detecting the dipole moment of GWB induced by the proper motion of our local system is closely examined.

description: We estimate a random effects stochastic frontier production function to study the impacts of irrigation on factor use on low-income rice farms in the Philippines. Irrigation precipitates a release of labor and an increase in use of fertilizer and pesticides. We find only weak statistical support for time-variant input elasticities. We study the dynamics of input adjustment by measuring the extent to which observed factor levels converge to optimal levels over time.

description: Ultraviolet irradiation of ice is of great interest for understanding the chemistry in both atmospheric and astrophysical environments. In interstellar space, photodissociation of H2O molecules can be a driving force behind the chemistry on icy dust grains in dense, cold molecular clouds even though the flux of UV photons is extremely low. The mechanisms of such photoinduced processes are poorly understood, however. In this work the photodissociation dynamics of a water molecule in crystalline ice at 10 K is studied computationally using classical molecular dynamics. Photodissociation in the first bilayer leads mainly to H atoms desorbing (65%), while in the third bilayer trapping of H and OH dominates (51%). The kinetic energy distribution of the desorbing H atoms is much broader than that for the corresponding gas-phase photodissociation. The H atoms on average move 11 Angstroms before becoming trapped, while OH radicals typically move 2 Angstroms. In accordance with experiments a blueshift of the absorption spectrum is obtained relative to gas-phase water.

description: We have calculated band-edge energies for most combinations of zincblende AlN, GaN, InN, GaP, GaAs, InP, InAs, GaSb and InSb in which one material is strained to the other. Calculations were done for three different geometries, quantum wells, wires, and dots, and mean effective masses were computed in order to estimate confinement energies. For quantum wells, we have also calculated band-edges for ternary alloys. Energy gaps, including confinement, may be easily and accurately estimated using band energies and a simple effective mass approximation, yielding excellent agreement with experimental results. By calculating all material combinations we have identified novel and interesting material combinations, such as artificial donors, that have not been experimentally realized. The calculations were perfomed using strain-dependent k-dot-p theory and provide a comprehensive overview of band structures for strained heterostructures.

description: This paper addresses the influence of III-V nucleation routines on Ge substrates for the growth of high efficiency multijunction solar cells. Three exemplary nucleation routines with differences in thickness and temperature were evaluated. The resulting open circuit voltage of triple-junction solar cells with these designs is significantly affected (up to 50 mV for the best optimization routine), whereas minimal differences in short circuit current are observed. Electroluminescence measurements show that both the Ge bottom cell and the Ga(In)As middle cell present a VOC gain of 25 mV each. This result indicates that the first stages of the growth not only affect the Ge subcell itself but also to subsequent subcells. This study highlights the impact of the nucleation routine design in the performance of high efficiency multijunction solar cell based on Ge substrates.

description: A series of microstructures designed to pin domain-walls (DWs) in (Ga,Mn)As with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy has been employed to determine extrinsic and intrinsic contributions to DW resistance. The former is explained quantitatively as resulting from a polarity change in the Hall electric field at DW. The latter is one order of magnitude greater than a term brought about by anisotropic magnetoresistance and is shown to be consistent with disorder-induced misstracing of the carrier spins subject to spatially varying magnetization.

description: This study identifies factors that explain growth in rural areas using data from 618 counties in the U.S. rural heartland. We evaluate many of the growth hypotheses in the context of sectoral employment growth for counties in Iowa, Minnesota, Missouri, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota and North Dakota. Separate estimates for rural and urban counties provide insight into factors that are important in explaining employment growth. The results support the importance of human capital as a factor contributing to sectoral employment growth and show that increased concentration and specialization of employment within a county lead to slower growth in the rural heartland counties.

description: This paper fits a translog stochastic production frontier with inefficiency effects to a panel of 693 UK dairy farms for the period from 1982 to 1997. The Cobb Douglas is rejected as inadequate relative to the less restrictive translog functional form and the frontier model is statistically superior to the mean response function, despite the fact that on average the farms were 87% efficient. Technological progress, at 1.7% per annum, is the dominant force, but efficiency declined at 0.8% per year, which reduced productivity growth to 0.9% per annum. The inefficiencies are explained in the second stage of the model, where the greatest cause is financial exposure, captured here by the ratio of debts to assets. Older farmers, those in less favoured areas and owner-occupiers were also less efficient, but large farms were more efficient, which suggests increasing returns to scale.

description: Human-robot collaboration (HRC) envisioned for factories of the future would require close physical collaboration between humans and robots in safe and shared working environments with enhanced efficiency and flexibility. The PhD study aims for multimodal human-robot collaboration in assembly. For this purpose, various modalities controlled by high-level human commands are adopted to facilitate multimodal robot control in assembly and to support efficient HRC. Voice commands, as a commonly used communication channel, are firstly considered and adopted to control robots. Also, hand gestures work as nonverbal commands that often accompany voice instructions, and are used for robot control, specifically for gripper control in robotic assembly. Algorithms are developed to train and identify the commands so that the voice and hand gesture instructions are associated with valid robot control commands at the controller level. A sensorless haptics modality is developed to allow human operators to haptically control robots without using any external sensors. Within such context, an accurate dynamic model of the robot (within both the pre-sliding and sliding regimes) and an adaptive admittance observer are combined for reliable haptic robot control. In parallel,  brainwaves work as an emerging communication modality and are used for adaptive robot control during seamless assembly, especially in noisy environments with unreliable voice recognition or when an operator is occupied with other tasks and unable to make gestures. Deep learning is explored to develop a robust brainwave classification system for high-accuracy robot control, and the brainwaves act as macro commands to trigger pre-defined function blocks that in turn provide micro control for robots in collaborative assembly. Brainwaves offer multimodal support to HRC assembly, as an alternative to haptics, auditory and gesture commands. Next, a multimodal data-driven control approach to HRC assembly assisted by event-driven function blocks is explored to facilitate collaborative assembly and adaptive robot control. The proposed approaches and system design are analysed and validated through experiments of a partial car engine assembly. Finally, conclusions and future directions are given.

description: We present a simple coarse-grained bead-and-spring model for lipid bilayers. The system has been developed to reproduce the main (gel-liquid) transition of biological membranes on intermediate length scales of a couple of nanometres and is very efficient from a computational point of view. For the solvent environment, two different models are proposed. The first model forces the lipids to form bilayers by confining their heads in two parallel planes. In the second model, the bilayer is stabilised by a surrounding gas of "phantom" solvent beads, which do not interact with each other. This model takes only slightly more computing time than the first one, while retaining the full membrane flexibility. We calculate the liquid-gel phase boundaries for both models and find that they are very similar.

description: High performance integrated electro-optic modulators operating at low temperature are critical for optical interconnects in cryogenic applications. Existing integrated modulators, however, suffer from reduced modulation efficiency or bandwidth at low temperatures because they rely on tuning mechanisms that degrade with decreasing temperature. Graphene modulators are a promising alternative, since graphene's intrinsic carrier mobility increases at low temperature. Here we demonstrate an integrated graphene-based electro-optic modulator whose 14.7 GHz bandwidth at 4.9 K exceeds the room-temperature bandwidth of 12.6 GHz. The bandwidth of the modulator is limited only by high contact resistance, and its intrinsic RC-limited bandwidth is 200 GHz at 4.9 K.

This article explores the importance of teaching English to medical students and provides insights into effective strategies and resources that can enhance their English language proficiency in the healthcare setting. The key focus is on developing language skills in medical terminology, patient history-taking, and delivering patient-centered care. By equipping medical students with strong English language skills, educators can empower them to provide high-quality healthcare services to diverse patient populations.

Coyote goes downriver : an historical geography of coyote migration into the Fraser Valley
Creators: name: Ford, Lillian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis considers the spread of coyotes into the Fraser Valley from an historical/geographical perspective. Using the models of Coyote and Canis latrans, it follows coyotes from their traditional range in Nlha7kapmx territory into the Fraser Valley and eventually the city of Vancouver. In doing so, it examines both changing landscapes and changing perceptions of predators over the past 125 years. In much the same way as it has distinguished "wilderness" from "civilization," the settler imagination has separated the paths, patterns, and places of wildlife from those of human settlement. This thesis introduces an animal who has persistently challenged those boundaries. In Nlha7kapmx traditions, Coyote is a transgressive character, a clever opportunist, a powerful transformer, and an irrepressible trickster who may be killed repeatedly but always revives. These same qualities can be seen in scientific descriptions of coyotes. The ways of coyotes — their adaptability, intelligence, and social geography ~ have helped them withstand persecution and inhabit new environments. Coyotes appear in places we do not expect, and, as predators, in places that we actively defend from their presence. Coyotes were first reported in the Fraser Valley in 1892, following the completion of the railway and the commencement of agricultural settlement. Today they are commonly seen throughout the region. Their presence has been the object of successive campaigns to exterminate, control, and, eventually, co-exist with them. From the bounty system to widespread poisoning and the designation of "problem animals," these efforts have been shaped by changing understandings of the place of wildlife in relationship to settlement, and the complex geographies of coyotes themselves. This thesis argues that coyote control has been a losing battle: an attempt to claim space from a species that thrives in the margins; an effort to exterminate quintessential survivors. The evolution of coyote control in B.C. is best understood as a progressive concession of space.

description: Meat demand in Belgium has shown significant changes, especially with recent concerns about meat safety. Probit models are estimated to measure factors influencing consumer decision-making toward fresh meat. The probability of decreasing fresh meat consumption increases with greater attention to mass media stories. Demographics have a major impact, with age and presence of young children being particularly important.

Asteroseismic diagrams for solar-type stars

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We explore the feasibility of applying the Christensen-Dalsgaard diagram to real asteroseismic data and provide quantitative measures of the uncertainty associated with the results. We also propose a new kind of seismic diagram, based on the determination of the locations of sharp acoustic features inside a star. We show that by combining the information about the position of the base of the convective envelope or the HeII ionisation zone with a measure of the average large separation, it is possible to constrain the unknown chemical composition or the various parameters characterising the physical processes in the stellar interior. We demonstrate the application of this technique to the analysis of mock data for a CoRoT target star.

description: Survey results of departments of agricultural economics at 1862 Land Grant institutions are reported, giving the numbers of economists working in the areas of agricultural, resource, and community economics. Factor analysis is used to reduce descriptive state-level data in order to explain departmental compositions through regression analysis. Department heads also responded with the area to which a new, free position would be allocated. These responses are compared with residuals from the statistical models to evaluate department head allocation strategies.
Subsystem codes with high thresholds by gauge fixing and reduced qubit overhead

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We introduce a technique that uses gauge fixing to significantly improve the quantum error correcting performance of subsystem codes. By changing the order in which check operators are measured, valuable additional information can be gained, and we introduce a new method for decoding which uses this information to improve performance. Applied to the subsystem toric code with three-qubit check operators, we increase the threshold under circuit-level depolarising noise from $0.67\%$ to $0.81\%$. The threshold increases further under a circuit-level noise model with small finite bias, up to $2.22\%$ for infinite bias. Furthermore, we construct families of finite-rate subsystem LDPC codes with three-qubit check operators and optimal-depth parity-check measurement schedules. To the best of our knowledge, these finite-rate subsystem codes outperform all known codes at circuit-level depolarising error rates as high as $0.2\%$, where they have a qubit overhead that is $4.3\times$ lower than the most efficient version of the surface code and $5.1\times$ lower than the subsystem toric code. Their threshold and pseudo-threshold exceeds $0.42\%$ for circuit-level depolarising noise, increasing to $2.4\%$ under infinite bias using gauge fixing.

description: Space debris larger than 1 cm can damage space instruments and impact Earth. The low-Earth orbits (at heights smaller than 2000 km) and orbits near the geostationary- Earth orbit (at 35786 km height) are especially endangered, because most satellites orbit at these latitudes. With current technology space debris smaller than 10 cm cannot be tracked. Smaller space debris burn up and evaporate in the atmosphere, but larger ones fall to the Earth's surface. For practical reasons it would be important to know the mass, composition, shape, velocity, direction of motion and impact time of space debris re-entering the atmosphere and falling to Earth. Since it is very difficult to measure these physical parameters, almost nothing is known about them. To partly fill this gap, we performed computer modelling with which we studied the celestial mechanics of spherical re-entry particles falling to Earth due to air drag.We determined the time, velocity and angle of impact as functions of the launch height, direction, speed and size of spherical re-entry particles. Our results can also be used for semi-spherical meteoroid particles of the interplanetary dust entering the Earth's atmosphere.
