description: There has been a recent surge in the literature outlining methodologies that make use of spatially extraneous yield data in estimating crop insurance premium rates. The idea of borrowing information across space to better estimate tail probabilities is appealing. Along a different vein, recent research has questioned the validity of using whatever limited historical yield data exists given the number of technological changes in seed and farm management technologies as well as climate change. This literature has suggested historical yield data be trimmed to the most recent 25-30 years, thereby making the historically discarded yield data temporally extraneous. In this manuscript, we present three successively flexible data-driven methodologies to nonparametrically smooth across both space and time simultaneously. We apply these methodologies in estimating U.S. corn and soybean county-level crop insurance premium rates. Wefind significant borrowing of information across both time and space. We also find all three methodologies improve both the stability and accuracy of crop insurance premium rates.

description: We consider Dark Matter composed of an oscillating singlet scalar field. On top of the mass term, the scalar is equipped with a potential spontaneously breaking Z_2-symmetry. This potential dominates at early times and leads to the time-dependent expectation value of the scalar, which decreases in the expanding Universe. As it drops below some critical value, the symmetry gets restored, and the Dark Matter field starts to oscillate around zero. We arrange the spontaneous symmetry breaking through the interaction of the scalar with the Ricci curvature. In that way, superheavy Dark Matter can be produced at very early times. Depending on its mass, the production takes place at inflation (very large masses up to the Grand Unification scale), at preheating, or at radiation-dominated stage (masses 10^{6}-10^{7} Gev).

Orbital mechanisms of electron spin manipulation by an electric field

Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)

description: A theory of spin manipulation of quasi-two-dimensional (2D) electrons by a time-dependent gate voltage applied to a quantum well is developed. The Dresselhaus and Rashba spin-orbit coupling mechanisms are shown to be rather efficient for this purpose. The spin response to a perpendicular-to-plane electric field is due to a deviation from the strict 2D limit and is controlled by the ratios of the spin, cyclotron and confinement frequencies. The dependence of this response on the magnetic field direction is indicative of the strenghts of the competing spin-orbit coupling mechanisms.
A pilot survey of access to breast cancer treatment in Guyana
Creators: name: Barton, Anise
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2021

description: In this pilot survey, we attempted to determine the resources available in Guyana for the treatment of breast cancer using a survey of health care professionals involved in breast cancer care. Due to limitations related to COVID delays, and closure of the research ethics board in Guyana, we were unable to perform the survey as planned. However, the survey was administered to the general surgery residents at Georgetown Public Hospital in Guyana, and the limited results are compiled in this report. Patient related factors impacting the access to breast cancer care include lack of knowledge and education along with cultural beliefs, resulting in delayed presentation. Institutional limitations to breast cancer care in Guyana include the lack of publicly funded radiation therapy, limited medical oncology resources, the lack of a multidisciplinary team, the lack of pre-operative receptor status, delays in pathology results, lack of sentinel lymph node dissection (SLND), and delayed access to the operating room. In the past six months since the survey was administered, several positive steps have been made to move towards earlier detection and treatment, including a screening program, core biopsies being done by radiology, and proposals for a breast clinic and implementing SLND.

description: We study the Hamilton-Jacobi equation f - lambda Hf = h, where H f = e^{-f}Ae^f and where A is an operator that corresponds to a well-posed martingale problem. We identify an operator that gives viscosity solutions to the Hamilton-Jacobi equation, and which can therefore be interpreted as the resolvent of H. The operator is given in terms of optimization problem where the running cost is a path-space relative entropy. Finally, we use the resolvents to give a new proof of the abstract large deviation result of Feng and Kurtz.

description: We report the non-detection of the [CII] 157.74 um transition in the z=6.42 quasar SDSS J1148+5251 after 37.5 hours of integration with the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope. This transition is the main cooling line of the star-forming interstellar medium, and usually the brightest FIR line in galaxies. Our observed RMS of 1.3 mK in the Ta* scale translates to L([CII])<2.6 x 10^9 Lsun. Using a recent estimate of the far-infrared continuum of this quasar, we derive for SDSS J1148+5251 L([CII])/L(FIR)<5 x 10^-4, a ratio similar to that observed in local ultra-luminous infrared galaxies but considerably smaller than what is typical in nearby normal and starburst galaxies. This indicates that the small L([CII])/L(FIR) ratio observed locally in luminous far-infrared objects also persists at the highest redshifts.

Controlled connectivity : managing personal life at work

description: Many workers in Western developed economies experience difficulty in managing their work and personal lives. This is particularly the case for employees with children, especially working mothers. Claims have been made about the potential of information and communication technologies (ICTs) to assist workers with this problem. These communication devices and applications facilitate communication from almost anywhere and at any time, a technical capability that is perceived to undermine the spatial and temporal division that typically separates work from personal life. Employees now have greater flexibility regarding where and when they carry out their work and personal life activities. In this thesis, I explore the opportunity this creates for workers to attend to personal life matters during the workday. My findings reveal that ICTs can, to some extent, assist workers to organise home and family matters, maintain familial bonds and interact with their friends while they are at work. However, while these personal mediated communications are often beneficial, employees do not engage in such communications freely. I argue that the mediated connection employees have between their work and personal lives takes the form of controlled connectivity. Workers participate in a range of new social practices to limit different facets of this mediated connection. These actions reflect the attempts of workers to negotiate various factors that inhibit their free use of ICTs for personal purposes. Two main issues are relevant here: firstly, the influence of the workplace as the site in which the technologies are consumed; and, secondly, the inability of ICTs to completely overcome space and time, affecting what personal matters can be achieved via these technologies and the ease with which this is done. I present new empirical evidence of the personal use of ICTs during the workday for employees of a multinational telecommunications company. Drawing on the social shaping on technology and, in particular, domestication, I examine the workplace factors that influence the personal use of ICTs in this context. In doing so, I extend domestication's conceptual tool of the moral economy of the household to the new terrain of work. I then apply boundary theory to make a connection between this personal use of ICTs and the relationship employees have between their work and personal lives. I identify new forms of boundary work that workers undertake as they use, and manage the use of ICTs. I also utilise data on the content of workers' personal mediated communications to analyse the level of success they have in attending to personal life matters during the workday and the implications of these communications on the relationship between their work and personal lives.
Long range magnetic ordering in a spin-chain compound, Ca$_3$CuMnO$_6$, with multiple bond distances

description: The results of ac and dc magnetization and heat capacity measurements as a function of temperature (T = 1.8 to 300 K) are reported for a quasi-one-dimensional compound, Ca$_3$CuMnO$_6$, crystallizing in a triclinically distorted K$_4$CdCl$_6$-type structure. The results reveal that this compound undergoes antiferromagnetic ordering close to 5.5 K. In addition, there is another magnetic transition below 3.6 K. Existence of two long-range magnetic transitions is uncommon among quasi-one-dimensional systems. It is interesting to note that both the magnetic transitions are of long-range type, instead of spin-glass type, in spite of the fact that the Cu-O and Mn-O bond distances are multiplied due to this crystallographic distortion. In view of this, this compound could serve as a nice example for studying "order-in-disorder" phenomena.

description: The ITER Vertical Neutron Camera (VNC) is a multichannel collimator system designed to measure the neutron emissivity profile and spectra. The energy spectrum measurements of neutrons made by the VNC will contribute to the reconstruction of the ion temperature, fuel ratio, and fast ion distribution function. In this paper, the results of neutron spectra calculations for the ITER VNC are presented. The developed software allows for the simulation of particle spectra resulting from interaction of suprathermal ions with thermal background plasma. The method relies on direct reaction rate calculation and explicit fusion reaction kinematics modelling. The assessment of the D-T neutron spectra is carried out for D-NBI heated baseline D-T ITER operation scenarios. It is shown that neutron flux resulting from fast (beam) D with thermal T ion interaction dominates at more than 16 MeV part of the spectra. Thus, it is possible to assess fuel ratio based on calculated thermal-thermal and beam-thermal neutron energy spectra. An ability to observe sawtooth-induced mixing via VNC is studied. Lower energy boundary for the observable part of the suprathermal ion distribution is derived.

description: A nuclear structure model based on linear response theory (i.e., Random Phase Approximation) and which includes pairing correlations and anharmonicities (coupling with collective vibrations), has been implemented in such a way that it can be applied on the same footing to magic as well as open-shell nuclei. As applications, we have chosen to study the dipole excitations both in well-known, stable isotopes like $^{208}$Pb and $^{120}$Sn as well as in the neutron-rich, unstable $^{132}$Sn nucleus, by addressing in the latter case the question about the nature of the low-lying strength. Our results suggest that the model is reliable and predicts in all cases low-lying strength of non collective nature.

description: Many online user comments criticize the quality of news coverage. We conducted two experimental studies to assess the effects of such critical comments on readers’ perception of the credibility of news articles and to analyze the effectiveness of counter-measures. Findings suggest that critical user comments can reduce readers’ perceived credibility of a news article. We also demonstrate that this effect depends on whether a critical user comment receives Likes or not. Additionally, readers’ credibility perceptions can be restored when a critical comment receives a reply comment by a user that includes counter-speech. A disagreeing reply by a moderator is less effective. The findings provide important implications for research on credibility perceptions in online environments and for the effects of user-generated counter-speech and interactive moderation.
Girl Guides and Progressive Education in British Columbia, 1910-1950
Creators: name: Scharf-Way, Caitlin
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: Canadian society experienced significant changes from the beginning of the twentieth century, with shifting perceptions of the role of the family, the meaning of childhood, the improvement of health, and definitions of Canadian citizenship. The aims and objectives of the Girl Guide organization in British Columbia, from its inception in 1910, reflected the concerns of Canadians. By providing character training for young girls, the organization’s intention was to mold women, wives, and mothers of the future as useful, loyal citizens. Within the same period, progressive thoughts on education began to take root in Canadian school systems, as the federal government became involved in educational reform, and curriculum changes occurred across all provinces. The Survey of the School System (Putman-Weir Report) in 1925, and the curriculum revisions of 1936 and 1937 in British Columbia reflected themes of ‘child-centredness,’ development of the whole child (inside and out), ‘learning by doing,’ and preparation for future living as Canadian citizens, which characterized the ‘new education’ in British Columbia. This study used archival research to examine tenets of progressivism within the rhetoric and practice of the British Columbia Girl Guides. Guide leaders were committed to a child- centred program dedicated to the interests and needs of the girls, using activities to teach important lessons relating to female character. The leaders were often children themselves or were previously trained as girls to assume leadership positions as adults. Simultaneously, the Girl Guides offered a sense of discipline and order through militarism and included an administrative hierarchy of women which reflected principles of industry found within a social efficiency view of Canadian education. This included a program dedicated to preparing children for future vocations through badges, testing, and projects. Studying the Girl Guides illuminates the multiple ways in which Girl Guides shaped the identities of British Columbia girls as citizens, gave girls responsibility for their own educational opportunities, and provided women the authority to impact the lives of others in their communities without overstepping gender boundaries. With the proclaimed ‘death’ of progressive education in schools by 1950, and the change of leadership and programs in the Girl Guides at the same time, the face of education transformed at the school and community level.
Plane waves with weak singularities

description: We study a class of time dependent solutions of the vacuum Einstein equations which are plane waves with weak null singularities. This singularity is weak in the sense that though the tidal forces diverge at the singularity, the rate of divergence is such that the distortion suffered by a freely falling observer remains finite. Among such weak singular plane waves there is a sub-class which do not exhibit large back reaction in the presence of test scalar probes. String propagation in these backgrounds is smooth and there is a natural way to continue the metric beyond the singularity. This continued metric admits string propagation without the string becoming infinitely excited. We construct a one parameter family of smooth metrics which are at a finite distance in the space of metrics from the extended metric and a well defined operator in the string sigma model which resolves the singularity.

description: The performance of adaptive optics systems employing sodium laser guide stars can be improved by continuously monitoring the vertical density structure of mesospheric sodium along the line of sight. We demonstrate that sodium density profiles can be retrieved by amplitude modulation of continuous wave (CW) lasers. In an experiment conducted at the Large Zenith Telescope (LZT), ESO's Wendelstein Raman-fibre laser was amplitude-modulated with a pseudo-random binary sequence and profiles were obtained by cross-correlation of the modulation pattern with the observed return signal from the laser guide star. For comparison, high-resolution profiles were obtained simultaneously using the lidar system of the LZT. The profiles obtained by the two techniques show noise contamination, but were found to agree to within the measurement error. As a further check, a comparison was also made between several lidar profiles and those obtained by simultaneous observations using a remote telescope to image the laser plume from the side. The modulated CW lidar technique could be implemented by diverting a small fraction of the returned laser light to a photon counting detector. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations indicate that, for 50 per cent modulation strength, the sodium centroid altitude could be retrieved every 5 s from a single laser guide star, with an accuracy which would induce a corresponding wavefront error of 50 nm for the ELT and less than 30 nm for the TMT and GMT. If multiple laser guide stars are employed, the required modulation amplitude will be smaller.

Evidence of a decrease of kHz QPO peak separation towards low frequencies in 4U 1728-34 (GX 354-0)

description: We have produced the colour-colour diagram of all the observations of 4U 1728-34 available in the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer public archive (from 1996 to 2002) and found observations filling in a previously reported 'gap' between the island and the banana X-ray states. We have made timing analysis of these gap observations and found, in one observation, two simultaneous kHz quasi-periodic oscillations (QPOs). The timing parameters of these kHz QPOs fit in the overall trend of the source. The 'lower' kHz QPO has a centroid frequency of ~308 Hz. This is the lowest 'lower' kHz QPO frequency ever observed in 4U 1728-34. The peak frequency separation between the 'upper' and the 'lower' kHz QPO is 274+/-11 Hz, significantly smaller than the constant value of ~350 Hz found when the 'lower' kHz QPO frequency is between ~500 and 800 Hz. This is the first indication in this source for a significant decrease of kHz QPO peak separation towards low frequencies. We briefly compare the result to theoretical models for kHz QPO production.

Percolation on the average and spontaneous magnetization for q-states Potts model on graph
Creators: name: Vezzani, Alessandro
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We prove that the q-states Potts model on graph is spontaneously magnetized at finite temperature if and only if the graph presents percolation on the average. Percolation on the average is a combinatorial problem defined by averaging over all the sites of the graph the probability of belonging to a cluster of a given size. In the paper we obtain an inequality between this average probability and the average magnetization, which is a typical extensive function describing the thermodynamic behaviour of the model.

description: Background: Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) are increasing. Frequent over- and under-treatment has been reported, including non-purulent SSTIs where cases demanding surgery or broad-spectrum therapy often are hard to identify. Our aim was to measure the predictive power of a modified severity score and use it to identify areas of improvement in antimicrobial therapy of non-purulent SSTIs. Methods: We prospectively included adult patients admitted to hospital with non-purulent SSTIs. A modified Dundee score at admission was calculated retrospectively, and associations between severity and outcomes were analysed. We evaluated appropriateness of treatment in relation to severity scores, and assessed adverse effects of broad-spectrum therapy. Results: We included 200 cases with cellulitis and 19 cases with necrotising soft tissue infections (NSTIs). Thirty-two per cent were categorised as severity class I, 15% as class II, 28% as class III and 25% as class IV (most severe). In class I, 66 out of 69 cases did not have a complicated course. All but one NSTI case were identified by the class IV criteria. Over-treatment was common and mostly seen in class I. Broad-spectrum antibiotics or clindamycin use was associated with an increased risk of diarrhoea. Prolonged treatment (>14 days) was associated with age, severity and surgery. Conclusions: The modified Dundee score proved valuable in identifying those with the lowest risk of complication and the most severe infections, and could serve as a useful clinical tool in the emergency department. Frequent over-treatment and associated adverse effects were confirmed, underscoring the need for improved risk assessment.

description: A three terminal nanoscale refrigeration concept based on a vibron-coupled quantum dot hybrid system coupled to two electronic reservoirs and a phonon bath is proposed and analyzed in detail. While investigating the non-trivial role of electron-phonon interactions, we show that, although they are well known to be detrimental from a general refrigeration perspective, can be engineered to favorably improve the trade-off between the cooling power (CP) and the coefficient-of-performance (COP). Furthermore, an additional improvement in the trade-off can be facilitated by applying a high electronic thermal bias. However, the allowed maximum of the thermal bias being strongly limited by the electron-phonon coupling, in turn, determines the lowest achievable temperature of the cooled body. It is further demonstrated that such interactions drive a phonon flow between the dot and bath whose direction and magnitude depend on the temperature difference between the dot and bath. To justify its impact in optimizing the peak CP and COP, we show that a weak coupling with the bath is preferable when the phonons relax through it and a strong coupling is suitable in the opposite case when the phonons are extracted from the bath. Finally, in studying the effect of asymmetry in electronic couplings, we show that a stronger coupling is favorable with the contact whose temperature is closer to that of the bath. Combining these aspects, we believe that this study could offer important guidelines for a possible realization of molecular and quantum dot thermoelectric refrigerator.

description: Active learning is a branch of machine learning that deals with problems where unlabeled data is abundant yet obtaining labels is expensive. The learning algorithm has the possibility of querying a limited number of samples to obtain the corresponding labels, subsequently used for supervised learning. In this work, we consider the task of choosing the subset of samples to be labeled from a fixed finite pool of samples. We assume the pool of samples to be a random matrix and the ground truth labels to be generated by a single-layer teacher random neural network. We employ replica methods to analyze the large deviations for the accuracy achieved after supervised learning on a subset of the original pool. These large deviations then provide optimal achievable performance boundaries for any active learning algorithm. We show that the optimal learning performance can be efficiently approached by simple message-passing active learning algorithms. We also provide a comparison with the performance of some other popular active learning strategies.

description: We present a flexible rule compiler developed for a text-to-speech (TTS) system. The compiler converts a set of rules into a finite-state transducer (FST). The input and output of the FST are subject to parameterization, so that the system can be applied to strings and sequences of feature-structures. The resulting transducer is guaranteed to realize a function (as opposed to a relation), and therefore can be implemented as a deterministic device (either a deterministic FST or a bimachine).
