description: We constructed a comprehensive model atom for NeI -- NeII using the most up-to-date atomic data available and evaluated the non-local thermodynamic equilibrium (NLTE) line formation for NeI and NeII in classical 1D models representing the atmospheres of B-type stars. We find that the large NLTE strengthening of the NeI lines corresponding to the 2p$^5$3p $-$ 2p$^5$3s transitions array occurs due to extremely small photoionization cross-sections of 2p$^5$3s levels that leads to strong overpopulation of these levels relative to their LTE populations. The deviations from LTE for the most NeII lines are small and do not exceed 0.11~dex in the absolute value. We analysed 20 lines of NeI and 13 lines of NeII for twenty-four B-type stars in the temperature range of 10\,400 $\le$ \Teff\ $\le$ 33\,400~K. For five stars, the NLTE leads to consistent abundances of NeI and NeII, while the difference in LTE abundance can reach up to 0.50~dex. The using of the experimental oscillator strengths recently measured by Piracha et al. (2015) leads to smaller line-by-line scatter for the most investigated stars. The averaged neon abundance in twenty-four B-type stars in solar neighborhood is 8.02$\pm$0.05. This value may provide indirect constraints on solar photospheric neon abundance.

description: We present detailed modeling of the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the spiral galaxies NGC 891, NGC 4013, and NGC 5907 in the far-infrared and submm wavelengths. The model takes into account the emission produced by the diffuse dust and the star forming HII complexes. The dust mass is constrained by radiative transfer simulations in the optical (Xilouris et al. 1999). We find that the submm emission predicted by our model cannot account for the observed fluxes. Two scenarios may account for the "missing" submm flux. In the first scenario (Popescu et al. 2000), additional dust (to that derived from the optical, and associated with young stars) is embedded in the galaxy in the form of a thin disk and gives rise to additional submm emission. The other scenario investigates whether the average submm emissivity of the dust grains is higher than the values widely used in Galactic environments. In this case, the dust mass is equal to that derived from the optical observations, and the submm emissivity is treated as a free parameter calculated by fitting our model to the observed SED. We find the submm emissivity value to be ~3 times that often used for our Galaxy. While both scenarios reproduce the observed 850 micron surface brightness, the extra embedded dust model is not supported by the near infrared observations. We, thus, find that the enhanced dust submm emissivity scenario is the most plausible. [abridged]

description: We classify ${\cal N}=1$ gauge theories with simple gauge groups in four dimensions which possess a conformal manifold passing through weak coupling. A very rich variety of models is found once one allows for arbitrary representations under the gauge group. For each such model we detail the dimension of the conformal manifold, the conformal anomalies, and the global symmetry preserved on a generic locus of the manifold. We also identify, at least some, sub-loci of the conformal manifolds preserving more symmetry than the generic locus. Several examples of applications of the classification are discussed. In particular we consider a conformal triality such that one of the triality frames is a $USp(6)$ gauge theory with six fields in the two index traceless antisymmetric representation. We discuss an IR dual of a conformal $Spin(5)$ gauge theory with two chiral superfields in the vector representation and one in the fourteen dimensional representation. Finally, an extension of the conformal manifold of ${\cal N}=2$ class ${\cal S}$ theories by conformally gauging symmetries corresponding to maximal punctures with the addition of two adjoint chiral superfields is commented upon.

description: Involvement is an important psychological construct for understanding consumers’ underlying purchase decision process and those factors that shape product perceptions. In order to better understand consumer purchase behavior for low and high priced pork cuts, a series of field interviews at a variety of food retailers were conducted with actual pork shoppers using the New Involvement Profile (NIP) developed by Jain and Srinivasan (1990). In addition to responses to a series of questions designed to assess consumers’ involvement when purchasing pork, informational elements including socio-demographic information and pork attributes (e.g., origin, advertisement, on sale) were also included in the analysis. Key results from the study show individuals with high risk factors were significantly less likely to purchase high price cuts of pork. However this factor was mitigated by high price cuts on sale. Advertising is found to engage consumers with specific factors including those individuals who place a symbolic value on pork. Similar results are found for certain individuals based upon the type of store in which shopping took place. Results from our study may help companies to develop specific strategies to target high and low involved consumer segments. For instance, focusing on particular labeling schemes to increase consumers’ trust in meat producers could be used to target high involved shoppers. Additionally, based upon the empirical evidence this would have an added benefit by supporting the purchase of higher priced cuts of pork.

description: A method to derive the convenient representations for many two-photon amplitudes is suggested. It is based on the use of the gauge in which the photon propagator has only space components. The amplitudes obtained have no any strong numerical cancellations and, therefore, are very convenient for numerical evaluations. Our approach is illustrated by the consideration of the processes $e^+e^-\to e^+e^-e^+e^-$, $e^+e^-\rightarrow e^+e^-μ^+μ^-$, and $e^+e^-\to μ^+μ^-π^+π^-$. The method is extended on the case of polarized particles. The amplitudes obtained in this approach have been employed for extension of the event generator developed by F.A. Berends, P.H. Daverveldt, and R. Kleiss.

description: Internet of Things is rapidly spreading across several fields, including healthcare, posing relevant questions related to communication capabilities, energy efficiency and sensors unobtrusiveness. Particularly, in the context of recognition of gestures, e.g., grasping of different objects, brain and muscular activity could be simultaneously recorded via EEG and EMG, respectively, and analyzed to identify the gesture that is being accomplished, and the quality of its performance. This paper proposes a new algorithm that aims (i) to robustly extract the most relevant features to classify different grasping tasks, and (ii) to retain the natural meaning of the selected features. This, in turn, gives the opportunity to simplify the recording setup to minimize the data traffic over the communication network, including Internet, and provide physiologically significant features for medical interpretation. The algorithm robustness is ensured both by consensus clustering as a feature selection strategy, and by nested cross-validation scheme to evaluate its classification performance.
How did external pressures change Japan's protectionist farm policies from the Uruguay Round to TPP?: A Surplus Transformation Curve (STC) analysis

description: Japan’s seemingly monolithic protectionist farm policies were often easily moderated by external pressures. This study analyzes the change of the degree and the methods of protectionist farm policies, focusing on Japan’s most important crop, rice. It calculates consumer surplus, producer surplus and government spending in the past fifty years and integrates these figures into one diagram utilizing the STC (surplus transformation curve) analysis, developed by Bruce Gardner in 1983. The result of the analyses suggests that external pressures have a considerable impact on domestic protectionist farm policies. For example, in 1986 when the demand by the RMA (Rice Milling Association) in the U.S. that Japan should open its rice market was issued, the STC diagram clearly shows that the level of protection estimated from the international market price diminished. Nevertheless, at that time the level of protection estimated from the domestic equilibrium did not fall. This implies that the government successfully pretended to resist external pressure, but in reality reduced the level of protection, considering the US demands. Furthermore, in 1994 when the Uruguay Round agreement was finalized, the STC diagram also shows that Japan’s acceptance reduced its level of protection. The level of protection estimated from the domestic equilibrium was also reduced at the same time. These two observations suggest that external pressures distinctly affect the degree of protectionist farm policies, while the method of protection depends on domestic political conditions.

description: Nonmesonic weak decays of s-shell hypernuclei are analyzed in microscopic models for the Lambda N to NN weak interaction. A scalar-isoscalar meson, sigma, is introduced and its importance in accounting the decay rates, n/p ratios and proton asymmetry is demonstrated. Possible violation of the Delta I=1/2 rule in the nonmesonic weak decay of Lambda is discussed in a phenomenological analysis and several useful constraints are presented. The microscopic calculation shows that the current experimental data indicate a large violation of the Delta I=1/2 rule, although no definite conclusion can be derived due to large ambiguity of the decay rate of {^4_Lambda H}.

description: The threshold autoregressive (TAR) model by Enders and Granger (1998) and Enders and Siklos (2001) is a popular econometric model that estimates asymmetric price transmission (APT) with non-stationary time series data. However, empirical studies have not considered much the arbitrariness of sample period selection and possible temporal variation of parameters or asymmetry. The purpose of this study is to estimate the APT from the U.S. domestic soybean prices to the export prices using the TAR model, and to trace the changes of APT using rolling woindow methodology of TAR. Another purpose is to analyze the relation between the APT and the market structure in the world soybean trade. The hypothesis is that the APT was positive, which means that the U.S. enjoyed long-lasting positive margins, when the share of the U.S. in the world soybean exports was high, but it changed to negative, which means that the importers enjoyed long-lasting positive margins, when the share of the U.S. decreased and the concentration of importers increased. The results of this study show that there is high correlation between the indexes of APT and those of market structure. Therefore, the hypothesis presented above is considered to have been verified. Because the APT has changed as shown in this study, TAR estimations with total sample or any subsamples in which the total sample is separated must bring unreliable results. Previous studies on the U.S. market power may be consistent with this study because they targeted only limited periods.

description: Unconventional superconductivity is usually associated with symmetry breaking in the system. Here we consider a simple setup consisting of a solid state material with conduction electrons and an applied surface acoustic wave (SAW), that can break time and spatial translation symmetries. We study the symmetries of the possible SAW-induced order parameters, showing that even-frequency spin-triplet odd-parity order parameter can occur. We suggest different methods of how to engineer the symmetries of the order parameters using SAWs and the applications of such setups.

description: Information and communications technologies (ICTs) have spread rapidly over the past decade. There has been considerable interest in the effect of such technology on search costs, search behavior and welfare outcomes, particularly in developing countries. This paper investigates the impact of a new search technology, mobile phones, on traders’ search and marketing behavior in Niger. We construct a novel theoretical model of sequential search, in which traders engage in optimal search for the maximum sales price, net transport costs. The model predicts that the introduction of a new search technology, such as mobile telephones, will increase traders’ reservation sales prices and the number of markets over which they search. To test the predictions of the theoretical model, we use a unique market and trader panel dataset from Niger. We show that the duration of mobile phone coverage increases the number of markets over which traders search and their number of market contacts. This result increases nonlinearly in the duration of mobile phone coverage in a particular market, suggesting that the relationship between mobile phone coverage and traders’ search behavior is convex with larger effects accruing over time. This effect is also stronger for larger traders – namely those who trade over longer distances – but does not appear to have differential effects by gender, age, road quality or market size. These results provide important empirical evidence for search theoretic models that assume the existence of a causal link between search costs and search behavior and suggest potential welfare improvements.

description: We consider a kinetic model of two species of particles interacting with a reservoir at fixed temperature, described by two coupled Vlasov-Fokker-Plank equations. We prove that in the diffusive limit the evolution is described by a macroscopic equation in the form of the gradient flux of the macroscopic free energy functional. Moreover, we study the sharp interface limit and find by formal Hilbert expansions that the interface motion is given in terms of a quasi stationary problem for the chemical potentials. The velocity of the interface is the sum of two contributions: the velocity of the Mullins-Sekerka motion for the difference of the chemical potentials and the velocity of a Hele-Shaw motion for a linear combination of the two potentials. These equations are identical to the ones in Otto-E modelling the motion of a sharp interface for a polymer blend.

description: It is important to have experimental methods to estimate the maximum beam intensity for the Fermilab Booster as objective input into long term program commitments. An important existing limit is set by the available rf power. This limit is difficult to set a priori because the real longitudinal impedance is not well known. The synchrotron phase at transition crossing was measured using both the mountain range plot and the direct phase measurement of the RF accelerating voltage relative to the beam, and results were consistent. They were applied to predict 6E12 maximum Booster beam intensity with present running conditions.

description: Die automatische Empfehlung von passenden nächsten Musikstücken für Playlists oder Nutzer ist ein wichtiges Problem in Musikstreaming-Plattformen. Für dieses Problem wurden bereits verschiedene Ansätze präsentiert, unter ihnen der Ansatz der Matrixfaktorisierung welcher ein Modell trainiert, das Musikstücke von ähnlichen Playlists oder Nutzern empfiehlt. Eine bekannte Generalisierung von Matrixfaktorisierung sind Faktorisierungsmaschinen. Diese erlauben die Aufnahme beliebiger Features in das Modell und wurden noch nicht im Detail für die Empfehlung passender Musikstücke evaluiert. Eine im Rahmen dieser Arbeit durchgeführte Evaluierung zeigt, dass durch die Nutzung von Faktorisierungsmaschinen und die Einbindung von Features wie Nutzerdemographie, Album, Künstler, Jahr des Musikstücks und vorheriges Musikstück eine Verbesserung der Empfehlungen erreicht werden kann. Da in realen Anwendungen Features von Millionen an Playlists, Nutzern und Musikstücken in das Modell eingebunden werden müssen und das Modell so eine beachtliche Größe erreichen kann, wird weiters eine Methode für ein verteiltes Training von solchen Modellen präsentiert. Durch eine bedeutende Reduktion des Netzwerkverkehrs wird ein effizientes verteiltes Training von über mehrere Maschinen verteilten großen Modellen möglich. Die präsentierte Methode wurde in Apache Spark implementiert und ebenfalls evaluiert.
description: Recommending the next tracks for a playlist or a users listening history is an important problem in music streaming platforms. Various approaches have been presented for this problem. Among them is matrix factorization which trains a model to recommend tracks of similar playlists or users. A common generalization of matrix factorization are factorization machines. They allow incorporating arbitrary features into the model and have not yet been evaluated in detail for next-track music recommendation. An evaluation carried out as part of this thesis shows that recommendations can be improved through the incorporation of features like, among others, user demographics, album, artist, the track year and the previous track. Since real-world systems have to handle millions of playlists, users and tracks and the factorization model can reach a remarkable size, a distributed training method is presented. This method allows the network-efficient distributed training of large factorization machine models which are themselves distributed over multiple machines. The method was implemented on top of Apache Spark and also evaluated.

The formalism is tested by recovering nonlinear interactions and the associated equation of motion from simulated data for a range of (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear systems, including those which exhibit spontaneous symmetry breaking. The technique is of broad applicability, being able to infer a wide class of partial differential equations, which govern systems ranging from nonlinear optics to quantum fluids.

The rotuma website : transnational relations and the articulation of cultural identity
Creators: name: Clark, Caroline Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: As in other parts of the world, multimedia technology and the Internet have changed the ways that people in the Pacific interact. Although multimedia technology is a relatively recent addition to the Pacific, Islanders recognize the potential that it holds and are working to define how it should be used within their communities. The use of multimedia technology to bring together geographically dispersed people is of particular use. At the same time, the number of Pacific Islanders migrating both throughout the region and abroad continues to increase. Over time, transnational migration can lead to a weakened sense of cultural identity. Given the importance of kin relations and cultural identity, many Pacific Islanders are using multimedia technology and the Internet to remain connected. This thesis explores a resource that uses contemporary multimedia technology to preserve cultural identity in the context of global migration: the Rotuma website. Rotuma is an island located 465 km north of Fiji. As a small island society, Rotumans historically have not developed a strong sense of cultural identity. In the last century, Rotumans have migrated in large numbers to Fiji and abroad. A weak sense of cultural identity coupled with excellent success abroad in education and employment opportunities could have disastrous consequences for the long-term preservation of this island's heritage. However, the Rotuma website harnesses the power of multimedia technology to both preserve existing kin relations and develop new social networks not feasible in the physical world.

description: Hyperdimensional (HD) computing is built upon its unique data type referred to as hypervectors. The dimension of these hypervectors is typically in the range of tens of thousands. Proposed to solve cognitive tasks, HD computing aims at calculating similarity among its data. Data transformation is realized by three operations, including addition, multiplication and permutation. Its ultra-wide data representation introduces redundancy against noise. Since information is evenly distributed over every bit of the hypervectors, HD computing is inherently robust. Additionally, due to the nature of those three operations, HD computing leads to fast learning ability, high energy efficiency and acceptable accuracy in learning and classification tasks. This paper introduces the background of HD computing, and reviews the data representation, data transformation, and similarity measurement. The orthogonality in high dimensions presents opportunities for flexible computing. To balance the tradeoff between accuracy and efficiency, strategies include but are not limited to encoding, retraining, binarization and hardware acceleration. Evaluations indicate that HD computing shows great potential in addressing problems using data in the form of letters, signals and images. HD computing especially shows significant promise to replace machine learning algorithms as a light-weight classifier in the field of internet of things (IoTs).

description: The upgrade of the Inner Tracking System (ITS) of ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) will extend measurements of heavy-flavour hadrons and low-mass dileptons to a lower transverse momentum than currently achieved and increase the readout capabilities to incorporate the full interaction. Furthermore, the tracking efficiency will be improved at low transverse momentum. To achieve this, the new ALICE ITS is comprised of seven layers of a custom Monolithic Active Pixel Sensor design known as ALPIDE, with a spatial resolution of $5\,\mathrm{μm}$. The use of the ALPIDE-based detector design will reduce the material budget to $0.35\%\,\mathrm{X_0}$ per layer for the innermost three layers, and to $1.0\%\,\mathrm{X_0}$ per layer for the outermost four layers, compared to $1.14\%\,\mathrm{X_0}$ per layer in the previous ITS. The construction effort in numerous sites around the world has resulted in a fully assembled and connected detector, which is currently undergoing on surface commissioning before its installation in the ALICE cavern. This contribution discusses the design and the current status of the commissioning of the new ITS detector, including the methods used to characterise the detector and the results obtained so far.

description: We investigate the distribution of the depth of a node containing a specific key or, equivalently, the number of steps needed to retrieve an item stored in a randomly grown binary search tree. Using a representation in terms of mixed and compounded standard distributions, we derive approximations by Poisson and mixed Poisson distributions; these lead to asymptotic normality results. We are particularly interested in the influence of the key value on the distribution of the node depth. Methodologically our message is that the explicit representation may provide additional insight if compared to the standard approach that is based on the recursive structure of the trees. Further, in order to exhibit the influence of the key on the distributional asymptotics, a suitable choice of distance of probability distributions is important. Our results are also applicable in connection with the number of recursions needed in Hoare's [Comm. ACM 4 (1961) 321-322] selection algorithm Find.

Relativistic spin operator must be intrinsic

description: Although there are many proposals of relativistic spin observables, there is no agreement about the adequate definition of this quantity. This problem arises from the fact that, in the present literature, there is no consensus concerning the set of properties that such an operator should satisfy. Here we present how to overcome this problem by imposing a condition that everyone should agree about the nature of the relativistic spin observable: it must be intrinsic. The intrinsicality concept is analyzed in the relativistic classical limit and then it is extended to the quantum regime, the spin problem being treated in the context of the irreducible unitary representations of the Poincaré group. This approach rules out three-vector proposals of relativistic spin observable and leads to a unique satisfactory spin definition that, besides being intrinsic, also possesses interesting physical features such as covariance and consistency of predictions in the non relativistic limit. To support the presented results from an operational perspective, a consistent observer-independent model for the electromagnetic-spin interaction is also presented.

Cook or Curzon : a comparison of British and Indian human rights diplomacy towards Nepal
Creators: name: Clarke, Andrew Charles
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This paper analyses the behaviour of India and the U K towards the human rights crisis in Nepal, in order to explain how and why the human rights policies of two democracies can differ. It is argued that two factors - political ideology and the foreign policy-making process - are the most critical determinants of the importance of human rights in the foreign policies of India and the UK. Economic and social development and geopolitics are seen as constraints on human rights diplomacy. This study supports Christopher Brewin's thesis that international obligations are, in part, a reflection of national self-image. Significant domestic developments in India and the UK from the mid- to late 1990s have been echoed in foreign policy. Attempts to make British foreign policy-making more transparent have ensured that the British Government considers the fundamental rights of people abroad, under the scrutiny of Parliament, NGOs and the wider public. Despite a self-perception of democratic values, India's foreign policy-making receives much less public scrutiny and is therefore less constrained by human rights concerns. This study argues that Nepal's proximity to India prioritises traditional Indian security concerns, preventing a more hard-line approach to Nepalese human rights abuses. Two worldviews are analysed: Robin Cook's "ethical" foreign policy, with human rights at its heart; and Lord Curzon's view of India as the "natural" seat of Asian power.
New Phases of Near-Extremal Branes on a Circle

description: We study the phases of near-extremal branes on a circle, by which we mean near-extremal branes of string theory and M-theory with a circle in their transverse space. We find a map that takes any static and neutral Kaluza-Klein black hole, i.e. any static and neutral black hole on Minkowski-space times a circle M^d x S^1, and map it to a corresponding solution for a near-extremal brane on a circle. The map is derived using first a combined boost and U-duality transformation on the Kaluza-Klein black hole, transforming it to a solution for a non-extremal brane on a circle. The resulting solution for a near-extremal brane on a circle is then obtained by taking a certain near-extremal limit. As a consequence of the map, we can transform the neutral non-uniform black string branch into a new non-uniform phase of near-extremal branes on a circle. Furthermore, we use recently obtained analytical results on small black holes in Minkowski-space times a circle to get new information about the localized phase of near-extremal branes on a circle. This gives in turn predictions for the thermal behavior of the non-gravitational theories dual to these near-extremal branes. In particular, we give predictions for the thermodynamics of supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories on a circle, and we find a new stable phase of (2,0) Little String Theory in the canonical ensemble for temperatures above its Hagedorn temperature.

Quantum networking with short-range entanglement assistance

description: We propose an approach to distribute high-fidelity long-range entanglement in a quantum network assisted by the entanglement supplied by auxiliary short-range paths between the network nodes. Entanglement assistance in the form of shared catalyst states is utilized to maximize the efficiency of entanglement concentration transformations over the edges of the network. The catalyst states are recycled for use in adaptive operations at the network nodes and replenished periodically using the auxiliary short-range paths. The rate of long-range entanglement distribution using such entanglement assistance is found to be significantly higher than possible without using entanglement assistance.

The basic parameters of gamma-ray-loud blazars
Creators: name: Fan, J. H.
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We determined the basic parameters, such as the central black hole mass ($M$), the boosting factor (or Doppler factor) ($δ$), the propagation angle ($Φ$) and the distance along the axis to the site of $γ$-ray production ($d$) for 23 $γ$-ray-loud blazars using their available variability timescales. In this method, the absorption effect depends on the $γ$-ray energy, emission size and property of the accretion disk. Using the intrinsic $γ$-ray luminosity as a fraction $λ$ of the Eddington luminosity, $L^{in}_γ=λL_{Ledd.}$ and the optical depth equal to unity, we can determine the upper limit of the central black hole masses. We found that the black hole masses range between $10^{7}M_{\odot}$ and $10^{9}M_{\odot}$ when $λ$ = 0.1 and 1.0 are adopted. Since this method is based on gamma-ray emissions and the short time-scale of the sources, it can also be used for central black hole mass determination of high redshift gamma-ray sources. In the case of the upper limit of black hole mass there is no clear difference between BLs and FSRQs, which suggests that the central black hole masses do not play an important role in the evolutionary sequence of blazars.
