description: Many areas of science rely on simulators that implicitly encode intractable likelihood functions of complex systems. Classical statistical methods are poorly suited for these so-called likelihood-free inference (LFI) settings, especially outside asymptotic and low-dimensional regimes. At the same time, popular LFI methods - such as Approximate Bayesian Computation or more recent machine learning techniques - do not necessarily lead to valid scientific inference because they do not guarantee confidence sets with nominal coverage in general settings. In addition, LFI currently lacks practical diagnostic tools to check the actual coverage of computed confidence sets across the entire parameter space. In this work, we propose a modular inference framework that bridges classical statistics and modern machine learning to provide (i) a practical approach for constructing confidence sets with near finite-sample validity at any value of the unknown parameters, and (ii) interpretable diagnostics for estimating empirical coverage across the entire parameter space. We refer to this framework as likelihood-free frequentist inference (LF2I). Any method that defines a test statistic can leverage LF2I to create valid confidence sets and diagnostics without costly Monte Carlo or bootstrap samples at fixed parameter settings. We study two likelihood-based test statistics (ACORE and BFF) and demonstrate their performance on high-dimensional complex data. Code is available at https://github.com/lee-group-cmu/lf2i.

description: In this paper, we establish some finiteness results about the multiplicative dependence of rational values modulo sets which are `close' (with respect to the Weil height) to division groups of finitely generated multiplicative groups of a number field $K$. For example, we show that under some conditions on rational functions $f_1, \ldots, f_n\in K(X)$, there are only finitely many elements $α\in K$ such that $f_1(α),\ldots,f_n(α)$ are multiplicatively dependent modulo such sets.

description: We characterize a rich class of valuated matroids, called R-minor valuated matroids that includes the indicator functions of matroids, and is closed under operations such as taking minors, duality, and induction by network. We exhibit a family of valuated matroids that are not R-minor based on sparse paving matroids. Valuated matroids are inherently related to gross substitute valuations in mathematical economics. By the same token we refute the Matroid Based Valuation Conjecture by Ostrovsky and Paes Leme (Theoretical Economics 2015) asserting that every gross substitute valuation arises from weighted matroid rank functions by repeated applications of merge and endowment operations. Our result also has implications in the context of Lorentzian polynomials: it reveals the limitations of known construction operations.

description: The present article is concerned with mirror symmetry for generalized K3 surfaces, with particular emphasis on complex and Kähler rigid structures. Inspired by the works of Dolgachev, Aspinwall-Morrison and Huybrechts, we introduce a formulation of mirror symmetry for generalized K3 surfaces by using Mukai lattice polarizations. This approach solves issues in the conventional formulations of mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces. In particular, we provide a solution to the problem of mirror symmetry for singular K3 surfaces. Along the way, we investigate complex and Kähler rigid structures of generalized K3 surfaces.

description: The Basilica group is a well-known 2-generated weakly branch, but not branch, group acting on the binary rooted tree. Recently a more general form of the Basilica group has been investigated by Petschick and Rajeev, which is an $s$-generated weakly branch, but not branch, group that acts on the $m$-adic tree, for $s,m > 1$. A larger family of groups, which contains these generalised Basilica groups, is the family of iterated monodromy groups. With the new developments by Francoeur, the study of the existence of maximal subgroups of infinite index has been extended from branch groups to weakly branch groups. Here we show that a subfamily of iterated monodromy groups, which more closely resemble the generalised Basilica groups, have maximal subgroups only of finite index.

Proposal for a cavity-induced measurement of the exchange coupling in quantum dots

description: In spin qubit arrays the exchange coupling can be harnessed to implement two-qubit gates and to realize intermediate-range qubit connectivity along a spin bus. In this work, we propose a scheme to characterize the exchange coupling between electrons in adjacent quantum dots. We investigate theoretically the transmission of a microwave resonator coupled to a triple quantum dot (TQD) occupied by two electrons. We assume that the right quantum dot (QD) is always occupied by one electron while the second electron can tunnel between the left and center QD. If the two electrons are in adjacent dots they interact via the exchange coupling. By means of analytical calculations we show that the transmission profile of the resonator directly reveals the value of the exchange coupling strength between two electrons. From perturbation theory up to second order we conclude that the exchange can still be identified in the presence of magnetic gradients. A valley splitting comparable to the inter-dot tunnel coupling will lead to further modifications of the cavity transmission dips that also depend on the valley phases.

Implementation of Emergency Management in Local Governments in Ecuador: Development and Resilient Communities
Creators: name: Rivadeneira, Darío André
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2015

description: Local communities are the first row of preparedness when disasters strike. During the last

decades there has been a deeper study and understanding of risk and disaster management

through national institutions, international organizations, non-governmental organizations and

academic programs. Along these lines, self-preservation and the willingness to protect human

integrity, vital infrastructure and natural environment, have pushed people’s capabilities to

overcome adverse events.

Starting from the point that emergency management is an innovative academic field in

upper middle-income economies like the Republic of Ecuador, South America (The World Bank,

2015), national action plans for risk and disaster management come from centralized institutions.

However, local governments, in this case municipalities account with disproportionate qualified

emergency management personnel, tools, infrastructure, coordination, and knowledge to prepare

for, respond to, recover from, and mitigate impacts of crisis and emergencies (Yeletaysi,

Ozceylan, Fiedrich, Harrald, & Jefferson, 2008).

The intention for the following research is to establish the need to institutionalize

emergency management in municipal local governments in Ecuador. In order to build resilient

communities, with active participation and involvement in the Emergency Management field.

Furthermore, human security is a concern that must be tackled from bottom-up participation to

decrease the levels of vulnerability in each community in the event of a disaster.

description: Can the $λ$-calculus be considered a reasonable computational model? Can we use it for measuring the time $\textit{and}$ space consumption of algorithms? While the literature contains positive answers about time, much less is known about space. This paper presents a new reasonable space cost model for the $λ$-calculus, based on a variant over the Krivine abstract machine. For the first time, this cost model is able to accommodate logarithmic space. Moreover, we study the time behavior of our machine and show how to transport our results to the call-by-value $λ$-calculus.

description: We report energy selective tunneling readout-based Hamiltonian parameter estimation of a two-electron spin qubit in a GaAs quantum dot array. Optimization of readout fidelity enables a single-shot measurement time of 16 on average, with adaptive initialization and efficient qubit frequency estimation based on real-time Bayesian inference. For qubit operation in a frequency heralded mode, we observe a 40-fold increase in coherence time without resorting to dynamic nuclear polarization. We also demonstrate active frequency feedback with quantum oscillation visibility, single-shot measurement fidelity, and state initialization fidelity up to 97.7%, 99%, and over 99.7%, respectively. By pushing the sensitivity of the energy selective tunneling-based spin to charge conversion to the limit, the technique is useful for advanced quantum control protocols such as error mitigation schemes, where fast qubit parameter calibration with a large signal-to-noise ratio is crucial.

description: The court and its justices exerted a great deal of control and power over all the people of eighteenth-century Augusta County, Virginia. The justices oversaw the economic life of the county. They also arbitrated in civil matters and punished those convicted of crimes. The court exerted its authority most heavily over the less powerful of Augusta County society, its women, children, and servants. The justices' control of these people was based upon considerations of economic values and the justices' own prestige and power in the community. The women, children, and servants, in turn, used the court system to regain some amount of power over their own lives. Women came into court to request business licenses, document land transactions, ask to be appointed as administrators and executors of estates, petition for relief from abusive husbands, or to protect children. Children used the court to protect themselves &om abusive masters or to request guardians. Servants used the court to complain about abusive masters, request freedom dues, or draw up agreements between themselves and masters. Records used will consist of the court order books and will books of Augusta County, from 1745 through 1779.

description: Up-to-date information on different modes of travel to monitor transport traffic and evaluate rapid urban transport planning interventions is often lacking. Transport systems typically rely on traditional data sources providing outdated mode-of-travel data due to their data latency, infrequent data collection and high cost. To address this issue, we propose a method that leverages mobile phone data as a cost-effective and rich source of geospatial information to capture current human mobility patterns at unprecedented spatiotemporal resolution. Our approach employs mobile phone application usage traces to infer modes of transportation that are challenging to identify (bikes and ride-hailing/taxi services) based on mobile phone location data. Using data fusion and matrix factorization techniques, we integrate official data sources (household surveys and census data) with mobile phone application usage data. This integration enables us to reconstruct the official data and create an updated dataset that incorporates insights from digital footprint data from application usage. We illustrate our method using a case study focused on Santiago, Chile successfully inferring four modes of transportation: mass-transit, motorised, active, and taxi. Our analysis revealed significant changes in transportation patterns between 2012 and 2020. We quantify a reduction in mass-transit usage across municipalities in Santiago, except where metro/rail lines have been more recently introduced, highlighting added resilience to the public transport network of these infrastructure enhancements. Additionally, we evidence an overall increase in motorised transport throughout Santiago, revealing persistent challenges in promoting urban sustainable transportation. We validate our findings comparing our updated estimates with official smart card transaction data.

description: For commuting contractions $T_1,\dots ,T_n$ acting on a Hilbert space $\mathcal H$ with $T=\prod_{i=1}^n T_i$, we find a necessary and sufficient condition under which $(T_1,\dots ,T_n)$ dilates to commuting isometries $(V_1,\dots ,V_n)$ on the minimal isometric dilation space $T$, where $V=\prod_{i=1}^nV_i$ is the minimal isometric dilation of $T$. We construct both Sch$\ddot{a}$ffer and Sz. Nagy-Foias type isometric dilations for $(T_1,\dots ,T_n)$ on the minimal dilation spaces of $T$. Also, a different dilation is constructed when the product $T$ is a $C._0$ contraction, that is ${T^*}^n \rightarrow 0$ as $n \rightarrow \infty$. As a consequence of these dilation theorems we obtain different functional models for $(T_1,\dots ,T_n)$ in terms of multiplication operators on vectorial Hardy spaces. One notable fact about our models is that the multipliers are analytic functions in one variable. The dilation, when $T$ is a $C._0$ contraction, leads to a conditional factorization of a $T$. Several examples have been constructed.

description: We present predictions of the energy spectrum of forced two-dimensional turbulence obtained by employing a structure-preserving integrator. In particular, we construct a finite-mode approximation of the Navier-Stokes equations on the unit sphere, which, in the limit of vanishing viscosity, preserves the Lie-Poisson structure. As a result, integrated powers of vorticity are conserved in the inviscid limit. We obtain robust evidence for the existence of the double energy cascade, including the formation of the -3 scaling of the inertial range of the direct cascade. We show that this can be achieved at modest resolutions compared to those required by traditional numerical methods.

 We emphasise that our model has a potential to account for the recent Large Hadron Collider results for signal strength of Higgs decays. We also explore discovery signatures of the exotic down-type quark, which is one of the salient predictions of this model.

description: Recently, Liu et al. [Opt. Commun. 284, 3160, 2011] proposed a protocol for quantum private comparison of equality (QPCE) based on sym- metric W state. However, Li et al. [Eur. Phys. J. D. 66, 110, 2012] pointed out that there is a flaw of information leak, and they proposed a new protocol based on EPR pairs. While examining these two protocols, we find that there exists a same flaw: the third party (TP) can know the comparison result. In this paper, through introducing and constructing a special class of asymmet- ric W state, a secure QPCE protocol based on this asymmetric W state is presented. Analysis shows the present protocol can not only effectively avoid the information leak found by Li et al, but also ensure TP would not get any information about the comparison result.

description: Recently, Bich et al. (Int. J. Theor.

In this paper, Through reviewing and analyzing Bich et al.'s second protocols with N>2 preparers, we find that the success probability P_{suc}=1/4 < 1. In order to solve the problem, we firstly constructed two sets of projective measurement bases: the real-coefficient basis and the complex-coefficient one, and further proposed an improved deterministic N-to-one JRSP protocol for an arbitrary single-qubit state with unit success probability (i.e, P_{suc}=1). Morever, our protocol is also flexible and convenient, and it can be used in a practical network.

For $n\ge0,$ let $Z_n$ counts the number of individuals of the $n$-th generation, which excludes the immigrant which enters into the system at time $n.$ We call $n$ a regeneration time if $Z_n=0.$ We give first a criterion for the finiteness or infiniteness of the number of regeneration times. Then, we construct some concrete examples to exhibit the strange phenomena caused by the so-called varying environments. It may happen that the process is extinct but there are only finitely many regeneration times. Also, when there are infinitely many regeneration times, we show that for each $\varepsilon>0,$ the number of regeneration times in $[0,n]$ is no more than $(\log n)^{1+\varepsilon}$ as $n\rightarrow\infty.$

description: Recently, Liu et al. [Commun. Theor. Phys. 57, 583, 2012] proposed a quantum private comparison protocol based on entanglement swapping of Bell states, which aims to securely compare the equality of two participants' information with the help of a semi-honest third party (TP). However, this study points out there is a fatal loophole in this protocol, i.e., TP can obtain all of the two participants secret inputs without being detected through making a specific Bell-basis measurement. To fix the problem, a simple solution, which uses one-time eavesdropper checking with decoy photons instead of twice eavesdropper checking with Bell states, is demonstrated. Compared with the original protocol, it also reduces the Bell states consumption and simplifies the steps in the protocol.

description: We compare the dimension of a non-invertible self-affine set to the dimension of the respective invertible self-affine set. In particular, for generic planar self-affine sets, we show that the dimensions coincide when they are large and differ when they are small. Our study relies on thermodynamical formalism where, for dominated and irreducible matrices, we completely characterize the behavior of the pressures.

description: BACKGROUND: The orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) is implicated in depression. The hypothesis investigated was whether the OFC sensitivity to reward and nonreward is related to the severity of depressive symptoms.

METHODS: Activations in the monetary incentive delay task were measured in the IMAGEN cohort at ages 14 years (n = 1877) and 19 years (n = 1140) with a longitudinal design. Clinically relevant subgroups were compared at ages 19 (high-severity group: n = 116; low-severity group: n = 206) and 14.

RESULTS: The medial OFC exhibited graded activation increases to reward, and the lateral OFC had graded activation increases to nonreward. In this general population, the medial and lateral OFC activations were associated with concurrent depressive symptoms at both ages 14 and 19 years. In a stratified high-severity depressive symptom group versus control group comparison, the lateral OFC showed greater sensitivity for the magnitudes of activations related to nonreward in the high-severity group at age 19 (p = .027), and the medial OFC showed decreased sensitivity to the reward magnitudes in the high-severity group at both ages 14 (p = .002) and 19 (p = .002). In a longitudinal design, there was greater sensitivity to nonreward of the lateral OFC at age 14 for those who exhibited high depressive symptom severity later at age 19 (p = .003).

CONCLUSIONS: Activations in the lateral OFC relate to sensitivity to not winning, were associated with high depressive symptom scores, and at age 14 predicted the depressive symptoms at ages 16 and 19. Activations in the medial OFC were related to sensitivity to winning, and reduced reward sensitivity was associated with concurrent high depressive symptom scores.

description: Accurate astrometry is crucial for determining orbits of near-Earth-asteroids (NEAs) and therefore better tracking them. This paper reports on a demonstration of 10 milliarcsecond-level astrometric precision on a dozen NEAs using the Pomona College 40 inch telescope, at the JPL's Table Mountain Facility. We used the technique of synthetic tracking, in which many short exposure (1 second) images are acquired and then combined in post-processing to track both target asteroid and reference stars across the field of view. This technique avoids the trailing loss and keeps the jitter effects from atmosphere and telescope pointing common between the asteroid and reference stars, resulting in higher astrometric precision than the 100 mas level astrometry from traditional approach of using long exposure images. Treating our synthetic tracking of near-Earth asteroids as a proxy for observations of future spacecraft while they are downlinking data via their high rate optical communication laser beams, our approach shows precision plane-of-sky measurements can be obtained by the optical ground terminals for navigation. We also discuss how future data releases from the Gaia mission can improve our results.

description: This paper is the first in a series on graphical calculus for quantum vertex operators. We establish in great detail the foundations of graphical calculus for ribbon categories and braided monoidal categories with twist. We illustrate the potential of this approach by applying it to various categories of quantum group modules, in particular to derive an extension of the linear operator equation for dynamical fusion operators, due to Arnaudon, Buffenoir, Ragoucy and Roche, to a system of linear operator equations of $q$-KZ type.

One-dimensional charged kaon femtoscopy in p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}$ = 5.02 TeV

description: The correlations of identical charged kaons were measured in p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=5.02$ TeV by the ALICE experiment at the LHC. The femtoscopic invariant radii and correlation strengths were extracted from one-dimensional kaon correlation functions and were compared with those obtained in pp and Pb-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s}=7$ TeV and $\sqrt{s_{\rm NN}}=2.76$ TeV, respectively. The presented results also complement the identical-pion femtoscopic data published by the ALICE collaboration. The extracted radii increase with increasing charged-particle multiplicity and decrease with increasing pair transverse momentum. At comparable multiplicities, the radii measured in p-Pb collisions are found to be close to those observed in pp collisions. The obtained femtoscopic parameters are reproduced by the EPOS 3 hadronic interaction model and disfavor models with large initial size or strong collective expansion at low multiplicities.

Critical fields of superconductors with magnetic impurities

description: The upper critical field $H_{c2} $, the field $H_{c3}$ for nucleation of the surface superconductivity, and the thermodynamic $H_c $ are evaluated within the weak-coupling theory for the isotropic s-wave case and arbitrary transport and pair-breaking scattering. We find that for the standard geometry of a half-space sample in a magnetic field parallel to the surface, the ratio ${\cal R}=H_{c3}/H_{c2}$ is within the window $1.55\lesssim {\cal R}\lesssim 2.34$, regardless of temperature, magnetic or non-magnetic scattering. While the non-magnetic impurities tend to flatten the ${\cal R}\left(T\right)$ variation, the magnetic scattering merely shifts the maximum of ${\cal R}\left(T\right)$ to lower temperatures. Surprisingly, while reducing the transition temperature, magnetic scattering has a milder impact on ${\cal R}$ than the non-magnetic scattering. The surface superconductivity is quite robust; in fact, the ratio ${\cal R}\approx 1.7$ even in the gapless state. We used Eilenberger's energy functional to evaluate the condensation energy $F_c$ and the thermodynamic critical field $H_c$ for any temperature and scattering parameters. By comparing $H_{c2} $ and $H_{c}$, we find that unlike the transport scattering, the pair-breaking pushes materials toward type-I behavior. We find a peculiar behavior of $F_c$ as a function of the pair-breaking scattering parameter at the low-$T$ transition from gapped to gapless phases, which has recently been associated with the topological transition in the superconducting density of states.
Generalized inferential models for meta-analyses based on few studies

description: Meta-analysis based on only a few studies remains a challenging problem, as an accurate estimate of the between-study variance is apparently needed, but hard to attain, within this setting. Here we offer a new approach, based on the generalized inferential model framework, whose success lays in marginalizing out the between-study variance, so that an accurate estimate is not essential. We show theoretically that the proposed solution is at least approximately valid, with numerical results suggesting it is, in fact, nearly exact. We also demonstrate that the proposed solution outperforms existing methods across a wide range of scenarios.

description: BEC is a quantum phenomenon, where a macroscopic number of bosons occupy the lowest energy state and acquire coherence at low temperatures. It is realized not only in $^4$He and dilute atomic gases, but also in quantum magnets, where hardcore bosons, introduced by the Matsubara-Matsuda transformation of spins, condense. In 3D antiferromagnets, an XY-type long-range ordering (LRO) occurs near a magnetic-field-induced transition to a fully polarized state (FP) and has been successfully described as a BEC in the last few decades. An attractive extension of the BEC in 3D magnets is to make their 2D analogue. For a strictly 2D system, BEC cannot take place due to the presence of a finite density of states at zero energy, and a Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless (BKT) transition may instead emerge. In a realistic quasi-2D magnet consisting of stacked 2D magnets, a small but finite interlayer coupling stabilizes marginal LRO and BEC, but such that 2D physics, including BKT fluctuations, is still expected to dominate. A few systems were reported to show such 2D-limit BEC, but at very high magnetic fields that are difficult to access. The honeycomb $S$ = 1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet YbCl$_3$ with an intra-layer coupling $J\sim$ 5 K exhibits a transition to a FP state at a low in-plane magnetic field of $H_{\rm s}$ = 5.93 T. Here, we demonstrate that the LRO right below $H_{\rm s}$ is a BEC in the 2D-limit stabilized by an extremely small interlayer coupling $J_{\perp}$ of 10$^{-5}J$. At the quantum critical point Hs, we capture 2D-limit quantum fluctuations as the formation of a highly mobile, interacting 2D Bose gas in the dilute limit. A much-reduced effective boson-boson repulsion Ueff as compared with that of a prototypical 3D system indicates the presence of a logarithmic renormalization of interaction unique to 2D.
