description: The direct detection of gravitational waves is a major goal of current astrophysics. We provide details of a new method for detecting a stochastic background of gravitational waves using pulsar timing data. Our results show that regular timing observations of 40 pulsars each with a timing accuracy of 100 nano-seconds will be able to make a direct detection of the predicted stochastic background from coalescing black holes within five years. With an improved pre-whitening algorithm, or if the background is at the upper end of the predicted range, a significant detection should be possible with only 20 pulsars.

description: With Cooperative Extension Service (CES) help in a wide range of economic development activities rural America has come a long way in the last several decades toward erasing some of its socioeconomic problems. A survey of CES' Community and Rural Development programs conducted in late 1985 and early 1986 identified a variety of CES activities related to economic development. At least half of the 56 respondents had worked on community surveys, economic analysis, business management, retention and expansion, and market studies. The most common approach reported was individual counseling followed by workshops and agent training. Specific CES programs in economic development include Ohio's retention and expansion program, Montana's programs to deal with declining agricultural revenue, Washington's community surveys to obtain information for an economic development plan, and Georgia's computer-generated reports of county demography and economic status. CES is on the right track with its economic development programs, but challenges remain. Given the common needs of states, work at the regional level should be continued and expanded. Extension's different programs (home economics, farm management, and community economic development) should join forces to tackle economic problems and should be concerned with agriculture, the service sector, traditional and nonmanufacturing industry, and small business.

description: Participants in the Food Stamp Program consume more meats, added sugars, and total fats than they would in the absence of the program, while their consumption of fruits, vegetables, grains, and dairy products stays about the same. Participants in the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) consume significantly less added sugars, which may reflect the substitution of WIC-supplied juices and cereals in place of higher sugar soft drinks and cereals. These findings come from a study of low-income Americans using the Continuing Survey of Food Intake by Individuals.

description: Users of Internet of Things (IoT) devices are often unaware of their security risks and cannot sufficiently factor security considerations into their device selection. This puts networks, infrastructure and users at risk. We developed and evaluated SAFER, an IoT device risk assessment framework designed to improve users' ability to assess the security of connected devices. We deployed SAFER in a large multinational organization that permits use of private devices. To evaluate the framework, we conducted a mixed-method study with 20 employees. Our findings suggest that SAFER increases users' awareness of security issues. It provides valuable advice and impacts device selection. Based on our findings, we discuss implications for the design of device risk assessment tools, with particular regard to the relationship between risk communication and user perceptions of device complexity.

description: Two-dimensional semiconductors are excellent candidates for next-generation electronics and optoelec-tronics thanks to their electrical properties and strong light-matter interaction. To fabricate devices with optimal electrical properties, it is crucial to have both high-quality semiconducting crystals and ideal con-tacts at metal-semiconductor interfaces. Thanks to the mechanical exfoliation of van der Waals crystals, atomically-thin high-quality single-crystals can easily be obtained in a laboratory. However, conventional metal deposition techniques can introduce chemical disorder and metal-induced mid-gap states that induce Fermi level pinning and can degrade the metal-semiconductor interfaces, resulting in poorly performing devices. In this article, we explore the electrical contact characteristics of Au-InSe and graphite-InSe van der Waals contacts, obtained by stacking mechanically exfoliated InSe flakes onto pre-patterned Au or graphite electrodes without the need of lithography or metal deposition. The high quality of the metal-semiconductor interfaces obtained by van der Waals contact allows to fabricate high-quality Schottky di-odes based on the Au-InSe Schottky barrier. Our experimental observation indicates that the contact barrier at the graphite-InSe interface is negligible due to the similar electron affinity of InSe and graphite, while the Au-InSe interfaces are dominated by a large Schottky barrier.

description: Moving recipients of public assistance into jobs is a goal of the current system for providing public assistance to low-income households. Using scenario analysis with a computable general equilibrium model, ERS researchers examined some of the labor market impacts of the "welfare-to work" provisions of the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA). The results show that, from 1996 to 2000, the influx of public assistance recipients into the labor force put downward wage pressure on low-skill occupations, making wage growth smaller than it would have been without the influx. At the same time, the influx added workers to the labor force, which contributed to economic growth. By expanding the labor force, the influx contributed 1 percentage point of real economic growth in terms of gross domestic product from 1996 through 2000.

description: Ultracold molecules can be associated from ultracold atoms by ramping the magnetic field through a Feshbach resonance. A reverse ramp dissociates the molecules. Under suitable conditions, more than one outgoing partial wave can be populated. A theoretical model for this process is discussed here in detail. The model reveals the connection between the dissociation and the theory of multichannel scattering resonances. In particular, the decay rate, the branching ratio, and the relative phase between the partial waves can be predicted from theory or extracted from experiment. The results are applicable to our recent experiment in 87Rb, which has a d-wave shape resonance.

description: The mean parallel current density evolution equation is presented using electromagnetic (EM) gyrokinetic equation. There exist two types of intrinsic current driving mechanisms resulted from EM electron temperature gradient (ETG) turbulence. The first type is the divergence of residual turbulent flux including a residual stress-like term and a kinetic stress-like term. The second type is named as residual turbulent source, which is driven by the correlation between density and parallel electric field fluctuations. The intrinsic current density driven by the residual turbulent source is negligible as compared to that driven by the residual turbulent flux. The ratio of intrinsic current density driven by EM ETG turbulence to the background bootstrap current density is estimated. The local intrinsic current density driven by the residual turbulent flux for mesoscale variation of turbulent flux can reach about 80% of the bootstrap current density in the core region of ITER standard scenario, but there is no net intrinsic current on a global scale. Based on this, the local intrinsic current driven by EM micro-turbulence and its effects on local modification of the profile of safety factor may be needed to be carefully taken into account in the future device with high beta_e which is the ratio between electron pressure to the magnetic pressure.

description: It has recently been demonstrated that spatial resolution adaptation can be integrated within video compression to improve overall coding performance by spatially down-sampling before encoding and super-resolving at the decoder. Significant improvements have been reported when convolutional neural networks (CNNs) were used to perform the resolution up-sampling. However, this approach suffers from high complexity at the decoder due to the employment of CNN-based super-resolution. In this paper, a novel framework is proposed which supports the flexible allocation of complexity between the encoder and decoder. This approach employs a CNN model for video down-sampling at the encoder and uses a Lanczos3 filter to reconstruct full resolution at the decoder. The proposed method was integrated into the HEVC HM 16.20 software and evaluated on JVET UHD test sequences using the All Intra configuration. The experimental results demonstrate the potential of the proposed approach, with significant bitrate savings (more than 10%) over the original HEVC HM, coupled with reduced computational complexity at both encoder (29%) and decoder (10%).
Changing the Hilbert space structure as a consequence of gauge transformations in "extended phase space" version of quantum geometrodynamics

description: In the earlier works on quantum geometrodynamics in extended phase space it has been argued that a wave function of the Universe should satisfy a Schrodinger equation. Its form, as well as a measure in Schrodinger scalar product, depends on a gauge condition (a chosen reference frame). It is known that the geometry of an appropriate Hilbert space is determined by introducing the scalar product, so the Hilbert space structure turns out to be in a large degree depending on a chosen gauge condition. In the present work we analyse this issue from the viewpoint of the path integral approach. We consider how the gauge condition changes as a result of gauge transformations. In this respect, three kinds of gauge transformations can be singled out: Firstly, there are residual gauge transformations, which do not change the gauge condition. The second kind is the transformations whose parameters can be related by homotopy. Then the change of gauge condition could be described by smoothly changing function. In particular, in this context time dependent gauges could be discussed. We also suggest that this kind of gauge transformations leads to a smooth changing of solutions to the Schrodinger equation. The third kind of the transformations includes those whose parameters belong to different homotopy classes. They are of the most interest from the viewpoint of changing the Hilbert space structure. In this case the gauge condition and the very form of the Schrodinger equation would change in discrete steps when we pass from a spacetime region with one gauge condition to another region with another gauge condition. In conclusion we discuss the relation between quantum gravity and fundamental problems of ordinary quantum mechanics.

The performance enhancement of the LF-ASD brain-computer interface : an Energy normalization transform
Creators: name: Yu, Zhou
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The brain-computer interface (BCI) has emerged as a potential and radically new mode of communication for users with neuromuscular impairments since it provides a communication channel based on human brain activity as opposed to peripheral nerves and muscles. It is a practical problem to detect user commands among spontaneous Electroencephalograph signals. Low-Frequency Asynchronous Switch Design (LF-ASD) is one of the leading means of addressing this problem. Although the performance of the LF-ASD is encouraging, it is not yet sufficient for real world application. The main goal of this research study is to improve the design of the LF-ASD BCI technique, and then evaluate the performance of this modified design. In this work, the Energy Feature related to Voluntary Movement Related Potential (VMRP) was determined. An energy normalization transform was proposed corresponding to this Energy Feature. A simulation model was set up and EEG data from five able-bodied subjects was applied for offline evaluation. The impact of this normalization transform was evaluated in two studies: the impact of this transform on the low frequency EEG and the impact on the performances of the LF-ASD. By analyzing the experimental results, the characteristics of this normalization filter were determined. In Study 1, it was determined that the proposed normalization transform has two major benefits to the low frequency EEG components (0-4 Hz), which is used by the LF-ASD. First, it can decrease the input scale variance. Consequently, it resulted in more stable feature sets and then a higher successful classification rate. Second, it can increase the separation between the VMRP and idle data. Another side benefit is that the proposed normalization transform can also adjust the input scale automatically. In Study 2, the performances of the LF-ASD with and without this normalization transform were compared. For four out of the five subjects, this transform increased the successful classification rate (True Positive rate with the corresponding False Positive rate at 1%) by 7.7%, 8.3%, 8.5% and 18.9% respectively. By applying an alternative energy normalization transform, the performance increased by 0.4% for the fifth subject. In the future with the parameters of the LF-ASD, especially the codebook in the Feature Classifier, derived from the normalized data, the performance could be further improved. The two studies also showed that, although this transform is non-linear in the broadband (0-64 Hz), it does not distort the features used by the LF-ASD. Therefore, it would not hamper the performance of the LF-ASD. The work concluded with the introduction of potential features related to VMRP in the phase spectrum.

description: In building management, usually static thermal setpoints are used to maintain the inside temperature of a building at a comfortable level irrespective of its occupancy. This strategy can cause a massive amount of energy wastage and therewith increase energy related expenses. This paper explores how to optimise the setpoints used in a particular room during its unoccupied periods using machine learning approaches. We introduce a deep-learning model based on Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN) that can predict the temperatures of a future period directly where a particular room is unoccupied and by using these predicted temperatures, we define the optimal thermal setpoints to be used inside the room during the unoccupied period. We show that RNNs are particularly suitable for this learning task as they enable us to learn across many relatively short series, which is necessary to focus on particular operation modes of the air conditioning (AC) system. We evaluate the prediction accuracy of our RNN model against a set of state-of-the-art models and are able to outperform those by a large margin. We furthermore analyse the usage of our RNN model in optimising the energy consumption of an AC system in a real-world scenario using the temperature data from a university lecture theatre. Based on the simulations, we show that our RNN model can lead to savings around 20% compared with the traditional temperature controlling model that does not use optimisation techniques.

description: Preparation of molecular quantum gas promises novel applications including quantum control of chemical reactions, precision measurements, quantum simulation and quantum information processing. Experimental preparation of colder and denser molecular samples, however, is frequently hindered by fast inelastic collisions that heat and deplete the population. Here we report the formation of two-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) of spinning $g-$wave molecules by inducing pairing interactions in an atomic condensate. The trap geometry and the low temperature of the molecules help reducing inelastic loss to ensure thermal equilibrium. We determine the molecular scattering length to be $+220(30)$~Bohr and investigate the unpairing dynamics in the strong coupling regime. Our work confirms the long-sought transition between atomic and molecular condensates, the bosonic analog of the BEC-BCS (Bardeen-Cooper-Schieffer superfluid) crossover in a Fermi gas.

description: The linear and non-linear stability of sheared, relativistic planar jets is studied by means of linear stability analysis and numerical hydrodynamical simulations. Our results extend the previous Kelvin-Hemlholtz stability studies for relativistic, planar jets in the vortex sheet approximation performed by Perucho et al. (2004a,b) by including a shear layer between the jet and the external medium and more general perturbations. The models considered span a wide range of Lorentz factors ($2.5-20$) and internal energies ($0.08 c^2-60 c^2$) and are classified into three classes according to the main characteristics of their long-term, non-linear evolution. We observe a clear separation of these three groups in a relativistic Mach-number Lorentz-factor plane. Jets with a low Lorentz factor and small relativistic Mach number are disrupted after saturation. Those with a large Lorentz factor and large relativistic Mach number are the stablest, due to the appearance of short wavelength resonant modes which generate local mixing and heating in the shear layer around a fast, unmixed core, giving a plausible solution for the problem of the long-term stability of relativistic jets. A third group is present between them, including jets with intermediate values of Lorentz factor and relativistic Mach number, which are disrupted by a slow process of mixing favored by an efficient and continuous conversion of kinetic into internal energy. In the long term, all the models develop a distinct transversal structure (shear/transition layers) as a consequence of KH perturbation growth, depending on the class they belong to. The properties of these shear layers are analyzed in connection with the parameters of the original jet models.

description: We study the charmless rare decays $B \to K^{\ast} K^{\ast}$ within the Perturbative QCD picture. We calculate not only factorizable and non-factorizable diagrams, but also annihilation ones. Our predictions are the following: The longitudinal polarization fraction vary from 75% to 99% depending on channels, the branching ratios are of order $10^{-7}$ for $B^0(\bar{B}^0) \to K^{\ast0}\bar{K}^{\ast0}$ and $B^{\pm} \to K^{\ast\pm} \bar{K}^{\ast0}(K^{\ast0})$, much bigger than that for $B^0(\bar{B}^0) \to K^{\ast+}K^{\ast-}$($10^{-8}$). The direct CP asymmetry in $B^{\pm} \to K^{\ast\pm} \bar{K}^{\ast0}(K^{\ast0})$ and $B^0(\bar{B}^0) \to K^{\ast+}K^{\ast-}$ is about -15% and -65% if we choose $α(ϕ_2)$ as $95^{\circ}$. There's no direct CPV in $B^0(\bar{B}^0) \to K^{\ast0}\bar{K}^{\ast0}$ decays because of the pure $b \to d$ penguin topology. Our predictions will be tested in the future B experiments.

Intrinsic current drive by electromagnetic electron drift wave turbulence in tokamak pedestal region

description: The local intrinsic parallel current density driven by electron drift wave (DW) turbulence including electromagnetic (EM) effects is analytically studied. The scalings of the ratios of intrinsic current density driven by residual turbulent flux and by turbulent source to the bootstrap current density with electron density and temperature are predicted to be $T_e^{3/4}T_i/n_e$ and $T_eT_i/n_e$, respectively. Based on the typical parameters in DIII-D pedestal region, the local intrinsic current density driven by both the residual turbulent flux and the turbulent source is negligible. However, despite the negligible turbulent source driven current, the residual turbulent flux driven local intrinsic current density by EM DW turbulence can reach about 66% of the bootstrap current density for ITER pedestal parameters due to much lower collisionality in ITER than in DIII-D. Moreover, the contributions from adiabatic ES parts, non-adiabatic ES parts and non-adiabatic EM parts of the plasma response to electromagnetic fluctuations are analyzed. It is found that there exists strong cancelation between non-adiabatic ES response and the non-adiabatic EM response for the ITER pedestal case, and thus the kinetic stress contributed by the adiabatic ES response of parallel electron pressure dominates the intrinsic current drive. This is different from the ES electron DW case. Therefore, the EM effects on turbulence driven intrinsic current density should be carefully considered in the future reactor with high ratio of electron pressure to the magnetic pressure and steep pressure profile.

description: We study the normal state electronic structure of the recently discovered infinite-layer nickelate superconductor, Nd$_{1-x}$Sr$_x$NiO$_2$. Using SrNiO$_2$ as a reference, we find that Nd$_{1-x}$Sr$_x$NiO$_2$ is a multi-orbital electronic system with characteristic Hund's metal behaviors, such as metallicity, the importance of high-spin configurations, tendency towards orbital differentiation, and the absence of magnetism in regimes which are ordered according to static mean-field theories. In addition, our DFT+DMFT calculations with exact double counting scheme show that despite large charge carrier doping from SrNiO$_2$ to LaNiO$_2$, the Ni-$3d$ total occupancy is barely changed due to the decreased hybridization with the occupied oxygen-2$p$ states, and increased hybridization with the unoccupied La-5$d$ states. Our results are in good agreement with the existing resonant inelastic x-ray scattering measurements and pave the way to understand the pairing mechanism of Nd$_{1-x}$Sr$_x$NiO$_2$.

description: We investigate how distorted, yet structured, beliefs can persist in strategic situations. Specifically, we study two-player games in which each player is endowed with a biased-belief function that represents the discrepancy between a player's beliefs about the opponent's strategy and the actual strategy. Our equilibrium condition requires that (i) each player choose a best-response strategy to his distorted belief about the opponent's strategy, and (ii) the distortion functions form best responses to one another. We obtain sharp predictions and novel insights into the set of stable outcomes and their supporting stable biases in various classes of games.

description: This research shows that approximately 29 percent of lettuce purchases in California expect to purchase an organically grown lettuce product in the future. Organic lettuce purchasers are more likely to be female, have a higher household income and a higher level of education. Consumers are concerned with the freshness, quality, price, and environmental impact of the lettuce they purchase.

description: We present a new phase-coherent timing analysis for the young, energetic pulsar PSR B0540-69 using 7.6 yr of data from the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer. We measure the braking index, n=2.140+/-0.009, and discuss our measurement in the context of other discordant values reported in the literature. We present an improved source position from the phase-coherent timing of the pulsar, to our knowledge, the first of its kind from X-ray pulsar timing. In addition, we detect evidence for a glitch which has been previously reported but later disputed. The glitch occured at MJD 51335+/-12 with a fractional change in frequency of (1.4+/-0.2)E{-9} and a fractional change in frequency derivative of (1.33+/-0.02)E{-4}. We calculate that the glitch activity parameter for PSR B0540-69 is two orders of magnitude smaller than that of the Crab pulsar which has otherwise very similar properties. This suggests that neutron stars of similar apparent ages, rotation properties and inferred dipolar B fields can have significantly different internal properties.

description: We selected a sample of post-AGB candidates in the Magellanic Clouds on the basis of their near- and mid-infrared colour characteristics. Fifteen of the most optically bright post-AGB candidates were observed with the South African Large Telescope in order to determine their stellar parameters and thus to validate or discriminate their nature as post-AGB objects in the Magellanic Clouds. The spectral types of absorption-line objects were estimated according to the MK classification, and effective temperatures were obtained by means of stellar atmosphere modelling. Emission-line objects were classified on the basis of the fluxes of the emission lines and the presence of the continuum. Out of 15 observed objects, only 4 appear to be genuine post-AGB stars (27\%). In the SMC, 1 out of 4 is post-AGB, and in the LMC, 3 out 11 are post-AGB objects. Thus, we can conclude that the selected region in the colour-colour diagram, while selecting the genuine post-AGB objects, overlaps severely with other types of objects, in particular young stellar objects and planetary nebulae. Additional classification criteria are required to distinguish between post-AGB stars and other types of objects. In particular, photometry at far-IR wavelengths would greatly assist in distinguishing young stellar objects from evolved ones. On the other hand, we showed that the low-resolution optical spectra appear to be sufficient to determine whether the candidates are post-AGB objects.

System-on-a-chip (SoC) design and test : a case study
Creators: name: Hong, Louis Tzu-Leng
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: System-on-a-chip (SoC) and reuse of intellectual property (IP) is the emerging paradigm for integrated circuit designs. To understand the unique challenges in IP development and SoC integration, a microprocessor core and a network processor SoC were developed. The Reuse Methodology Manual (RMM) by Keatling and Bricaud was used as a guide during the development of the IP core and the SoC. This thesis presents several examples taken from the microprocessor and SoC designs that either support or counter the claims made in RMM. The problem of SoC testing is also a highly researched area. In an effort to validate the concept of an on-chip test network, a packet-switching test access mechanism (TAM) was designed and integrated into the network processor SoC. The TAM, known as NIMA, is an on-chip network that supports different types of embedded core testing. The NIMA architecture was compared with a serial TAM and a multiple-inputs TAM based on the Test Rail architecture. The three TAM designs were compared based on the total test time, area overhead, and complexity of the controlling mechanism. This thesis also discusses the trade-offs of the three TAM architectures and suggests some improvements for NIMA to reduce its area and delay overhead.
Coevolution of deception and preferences: Darwin and Nash meet Machiavelli

description: We develop a framework in which individuals' preferences coevolve with their abilities to deceive others about their preferences and intentions. Specifically, individuals are characterised by (i) a level of cognitive sophistication and (ii) a subjective utility function. Increased cognition is costly, but higher-level individuals have the advantage of being able to deceive lower-level opponents about their preferences and intentions in some of the matches. In the remaining matches, the individuals observe each other's preferences. Our main result shows that, essentially, only efficient outcomes can be stable. Moreover, under additional mild assumptions, we show that an efficient outcome is stable if and only if the gain from unilateral deviation is smaller than the effective cost of deception in the environment.

description: Black and Cox (1976) claim that the value of junior debt is increasing in asset risk when the firm's value is low. We show, using closed-form solution, that the junior debt's value is hump-shaped. This has interesting implications for the market-discipline role of banks' junior debt.

description: Linear optics with photon counting is a prominent candidate for practical quantum computing. The protocol by Knill, Laflamme, and Milburn [Nature 409, 46 (2001)] explicitly demonstrates that efficient scalable quantum computing with single photons, linear optical elements, and projective measurements is possible. Subsequently, several improvements on this protocol have started to bridge the gap between theoretical scalability and practical implementation. We review the original theory and its improvements, and we give a few examples of experimental two-qubit gates. We discuss the use of realistic components, the errors they induce in the computation, and how these errors can be corrected.

Thermonuclear supernova simulations with stochastic ignition

description: We apply an ad hoc model for dynamical ignition in three-dimensional numerical simulations of thermonuclear supernovae assuming pure deflagrations. The model makes use of the statistical description of temperature fluctuations in the pre-supernova core proposed by Wunsch & Woosley (2004). Randomness in time is implemented by means of a Poisson process. We are able to vary the explosion energy and nucleosynthesis depending on the free parameter of the model which controls the rapidity of the ignition process. However, beyond a certain threshold, the strength of the explosion saturates and the outcome appears to be robust with respect to number of ignitions. In the most energetic explosions, we find about 0.75 solar masses of iron group elements. Other than in simulations with simultaneous multi-spot ignition, the amount of unburned carbon and oxygen at radial velocities of a few 1000 km/s tends to be reduced for an ever increasing number of ignition events and, accordingly, more pronounced layering results.

Observations on Cooperation

description: We study environments in which agents are randomly matched to play a Prisoner's Dilemma, and each player observes a few of the partner's past actions against previous opponents. We depart from the existing related literature by allowing a small fraction of the population to be commitment types. The presence of committed agents destabilizes previously proposed mechanisms for sustaining cooperation. We present a novel intuitive combination of strategies that sustains cooperation in various environments. Moreover, we show that under an additional assumption of stationarity, this combination of strategies is essentially the unique mechanism to support full cooperation, and it is robust to various perturbations. Finally, we extend the results to a setup in which agents also observe actions played by past opponents against the current partner, and we characterize which observation structure is optimal for sustaining cooperation.

description: We report the discovery and characterisation of OGLE-TR-122b, the smallest main-sequence star to date with a direct radius determination. OGLE-TR-122b transits around its solar-type primary every 7.3-days. With M=0.092+-0.009 Mo and R=0.120 +0.024-0.013 Ro, it is by far the smallest known eclipsing M-dwarf. The derived mass and radius for OGLE-TR-122b are in agreement with the theoretical expectations. OGLE-TR-122b is the first observational evidence that stars can indeed have radii comparable or even smaller than giant planets. In such cases, the photometric signal is exactly that of a transiting planet and the true nature of the companion can only be determined with high-resolution spectroscopy.
