What do exotic equations of state have to offer?

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We present a short general overview of the main features of exotic models of neutron stars, focusing on the structural and dynamical predictions derived from them. In particular, we discuss the presence of ``normal'' quark matter and Color-Flavor Locked (CFL) states, including their possible self-bound versions, and mention some different proposals emerging from the study of QCD microphysics. A connection with actual observed data is the main goal to be addressed at this talk and along the meeting. It is demonstrated that exotic equations of state are {\it not} soft if the vacuum contributions are large enough, and argued that recent measurements of high pulsar masses ($M \geq 2 M_{\odot}$) create problems for {\it hadronic} models in which hyperons should be present.

description: Amplifiers based on Josephson junctions allow for a fast and noninvasive readout of superconducting qubits. Motivated by the ongoing progress toward the realization of fault-tolerant qubits based on Majorana bound states, we investigate the topological counterpart of the Josephson bifurcation amplifier. We predict that the bifurcation dynamics of a topological Josephson junction driven in the appropriate parameter regime may be used as an additional tool to detect the emergence of Majorana bound states.

description: We report a high-precision calculation of the Standard Model electroweak radiative corrections in the $K\to πe^+ν(γ)$ decay as a part of the combined theory effort to understand the existing anomaly in the determinations of $V_{us}$. Our new analysis features a chiral resummation of the large infrared-singular terms in the radiative corrections and a well-under-control strong interaction uncertainty based on the most recent lattice QCD inputs. While being consistent with the current state-of-the-art results obtained from chiral perturbation theory, we reduce the existing theory uncertainty from $10^{-3}$ to $10^{-4}$. Our result suggests that the Standard Model electroweak effects cannot account for the $V_{us}$ anomaly.

Teachers’ concerns regarding the implementation of child abuse prevention education
Creators: name: Baron, Lorraine M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: This research examines teachers' concerns regarding child abuse prevention education and staff training for child abuse prevention. The purpose of gathering the concerns of teachers is to provide the possibility for staff developers and trainers to structure future in-service training programs for child sexual abuse prevention around teachers' concerns. A two part questionnaire was administered to 151 Kindergarten to grade seven teachers from an urban school district during the afternoon of their second day of a two-day comprehensive in-service session on child sexual abuse prevention. The teachers were asked first to list, unprompted, at least four questions or concerns which they had regarding teaching child abuse prevention. They were then asked to answer a small number of affective scale items pertaining to predicted teacher concerns about child abuse prevention education. One hundred and twenty-five (125) teachers responded to the questionnaire, a response rate of 82.8%. The study found that teachers concerns about child abuse prevention education could be classified into five categories: (1) concerns about their qualifications and comfort-levels, (2)concerns about effects on students, (3) concerns about adequacy of resources and support for victims and their families, and for teachers, (4) concerns about disclosures and reporting, and (5)concerns about parents. Recommendations are made to design in-service programs around teachers' concerns and to allow teachers time to talk together during in-service so that they may come to a shared understanding of the program to be implemented.

description: We report on the first experimental demonstration of majority logic operation using spin waves in a scaled device with an in-line input and output layout. The device operation is based on the interference of spin waves generated and detected by inductive antennas in an all-electrical microwave circuit. We demonstrate the full truth table of a majority logic function with the ability to distinguish between strong and weak majority, as well as an inverted majority function by adjusting the operation frequency. Circuit performance projections predict low energy consumption of spin wave based compared to CMOS for large arithmetic circuits.

description: Urban agglomeration (UA) is a special form of organization in which cities spontaneously participate in urban specialization and cooperative ventures and consequently establish socioeconomic and spatial ties with each other in a given region. Due to the unclear definition of UAs, coupled with an insufficient understanding of the UA formation mechanism, however, an objective and effective method for the spatial identification of UAs on an urban theoretical basis is still lacking. Therefore, this article proposes an approach to spatially and quantitatively identifying UAs based on urban density functions and density–density correlation functions. It is applied to delineate Chinese UAs and investigate their spatial distribution and evolution patterns. Three urban attributes (gross domestic product, population, and urban built-up areas) are measured, and the results show that the relationship between overall spatial correlations and distances approximately follows the negative exponential distribution at the national level. Based on these parameters, it is possible to objectively determine Chinese UAs; the analysis shows a belt-like spatial distribution along the major economic and transportation channels. At the UA level, two spatial patterns, fractional Gaussian noise and fractional Brownian motion, are identified, and there is a general transition from the former to the latter over time.

description: Quantum communication is a method that offers efficient and secure ways for the exchange of information in a network. Large-scale quantum communication (of the order of 100 km) has been achieved; however, serious problems occur beyond this distance scale, mainly due to inevitable photon loss in the transmission channel. Quantum communication eventually fails when the probability of a dark count in the photon detectors becomes comparable to the probability that a photon is correctly detected. To overcome this problem, Briegel, Dür, Cirac and Zoller (BDCZ) introduced the concept of quantum repeaters, combining entanglement swapping and quantum memory to efficiently extend the achievable distances. Although entanglement swapping has been experimentally demonstrated, the implementation of BDCZ quantum repeaters has proved challenging owing to the difficulty of integrating a quantum memory. Here we realize entanglement swapping with storage and retrieval of light, a building block of the BDCZ quantum repeater. We follow a scheme that incorporates the strategy of BDCZ with atomic quantum memories. Two atomic ensembles, each originally entangled with a single emitted photon, are projected into an entangled state by performing a joint Bell state measurement on the two single photons after they have passed through a 300-m fibre-based communication channel. The entanglement is stored in the atomic ensembles and later verified by converting the atomic excitations into photons. Our method is intrinsically phase insensitive and establishes the essential element needed to realize quantum repeaters with stationary atomic qubits as quantum memories and flying photonic qubits as quantum messengers.

Interior Product, Lie Derivative and Wilson Line in the $KBc$ Subsector of Open String Field Theory

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Theory (hep-th)

description: The open string field theory of Witten (SFT) has a close formal similarity with Chern-Simons theory in three dimensions. This similarity is due to the fact that the former theory has concepts corresponding to forms, exterior derivative, wedge product and integration over the manifold. In this paper, we introduce the interior product and the Lie derivative in the $KBc$ subsector of SFT. The interior product in SFT is specified by a two-component "tangent vector" and lowers the ghost number by one (like the ordinary interior product maps a $p$-form to $(p-1)$-form). The Lie derivative in SFT is defined as the anti-commutator of the interior product and the BRST operator. The important property of these two operations is that they respect the $KBc$ algebra. Deforming the original $(K,B,c)$ by using the Lie derivative, we can consider an infinite copies of the $KBc$ algebra, which we call the $KBc$ manifold. As an application, we construct the Wilson line on the manifold, which could play a role in reproducing degenerate fluctuation modes around a multi-brane solution.

Sufficient conditions for the permanence, local stability and global attractivity of its positive equilibrium are established. Our criteria depend on the size of some delays, improve results in recent literature and provide answers to some open problems.

description: Die gesellschaftliche Akzeptanz für die Schweinehaltung auf der Basis von gesetzlichen Mindeststandards gerät zunehmend unter Druck. Vor diesem Hintergrund analysiert der vorliegende Beitrag zum einen die Mehrkosten von höheren Tierwohlstandards mit zusätzlichem Platzangebot, Einstreu und Auslauf sowie gentechnikfreier Fütterung und ohne Kupieren von Schwänzen. Zum anderen wurden im Rahmen von qualitativen Interviews die Erfahrungen von Landwirtinnen und Landwirten mit höheren Tierwohlstandards ermittelt. Als Grundlagen für die Berechnung der Mehrkosten und die Erfahrungsberichte dienten zwölf Schweinehaltungsbetriebe mit höheren Tierwohlstandards. Die errechneten Mehrkosten ohne Einrechnung von öffentlichen Geldern variierten je nach Tierwohlstandard zwischen rund 6 und 48,5 € pro Mastschwein als Folge höherer Kosten für Stallplatz, Einstreu und Mehrarbeit. Die öffentlichen Gelder vermögen die Mehrkosten abzufedern, in Österreich kann dies je nach Tierwohlstandard zwischen 40% und 70% der Mehrkosten ausmachen. Der Rest müsste über höhere Produktpreise lukriert werden, um den Marktanteil von Schweinefleisch mit höheren Tierwohlstandards zu heben. Die Landwirtinnen und Landwirte bekunden eine hohe Zufriedenheit mit besonders tierfreundlichen Haltungssystemen und ihre Aussagen verweisen auf zahlreiche Einblicke zur Optimierung solcher Systeme. Die agrarische Bildung und Beratung sollte diese Erkenntnisse aufnehmen und an interessierte Landwirtinnen und Landwirte transferieren, um vorhandene Ängste in Bezug auf höhere Tierwohlstandards abzufedern.

description: The present thesis represents an attempt to negotiate a comparative approach to several cases of military disobedience that took place in the French Army during April and September of 191 and in the Greek Army during the first half of 1918. The aforementioned approach contains a detailed analysis of said events, with the purpose of aiding the reader in constructing a sound background of in information on the subject. Emphasis was given on the tracing of circumstances that rendered the breakout of mass military disobedience possible during the period negotiated, in contrast with previous and later ones. The comparative approach of the cases includes, apart from numerical data and the ways that disobedience was expressed, an examination of the political circumstances during the period, the opinions and reaction of the political and military leaderships and an inquiry into whether third parties were involved in the events. In order to fulfill these aims, the researcher made extensive use of Greek, British and French bibliography, as well as archives in the Army History Service and information drawn from contemporary newspapers

description: A micromechanical torsion oscillator has been used to strengthen the limits on new Yukawa forces by determining the Casimir pressure between two gold-coated plates. By significantly reducing the random errors and obtaining the electronic parameters of the gold coatings, we were able to conclusively exclude the predictions of large thermal effects below 1 $μ$m and strengthen the constraints on Yukawa corrections to Newtonian gravity in the interaction range from 29.5 nm to 86 nm.

description: The spin effect of electrons/positrons ($e^-$/$e^+$) and polarization effect of $γ$ photons are investigated in the interaction of two counter-propagating linearly polarized 10-PW-class laser pulses with a thin foil target. The processes of nonlinear Compton scattering and nonlinear Breit-Wheeler pair production based on spin- and polarization-resolved probabilities are implemented into the particle-in-cell (PIC) algorithm by Monte Carlo methods. It is found from PIC simulations that the average degree of linear polarization of emitted $γ$ photons can exceed $50\%$. This polarization effect leads to reduced positron yield by about $10\%$. At some medium positron energies, the reduction can reach $20\%$. Furthermore, we also observe that the local spin polarization of $e^-$/$e^+$ leads to a slight decrease of the positron yield about $2\%$ and some anomalous phenomena about the positron spectrum and photon polarization at the high-energy range, due to spin-dependent photon emissions. Our results indicate that spin and polarization effects should be considered in calculating the pair production and laser-plasma interaction with the laser power of 10-PW class.

description: We obtain a simple direct derivation of the differential equation governing the entropy flow probability distribution function of a stochastic system first obtained by Lebowitz and Spohn. Its solution agrees well with the experimental results of Tietz et al [2006 {\it Phys. Rev. Lett.} {\bf 97} 050602]. A trajectory-sampling algorithm allowing to evaluate the entropy flow distribution function is introduced and discussed. This algorithm turns out to be effective at finite times and in the case of time-dependent transition rates, and is successfully applied to an asymmetric simple exclusion process.
Two aspects of Sliammon phonology: Glide/Obstruent alternation and vowel length
Creators: name: Blake, Susan J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This thesis examines two specific aspects of Sliammon phonology: the nature of the glide/obstruent alternation and the issue of phonemic vowel length. In this thesis an analysis of these issues is presented within a non-linear framework, adopting as a point of departure the model of feature geometry proposed by McCarthy (1988). Other theoretical components of the analysis include Mora Theory as proposed by Hayes (1989), and Under specification Theory. In Chapter 2 it is argued that Glide/Obstruent Alternation is a phonological process which is sensitive not only to syllable structure but also to the moraic affiliation of the segment in question. Specifically, deletion of the feature [-continuant] targets any [sonorant][high] segment in moraic position. By adopting underlying representations (UR) which are underspecified and hierarchically organized, it is possible to avoid problems associated with previous analyses of these facts. This thesis also motivates an amendment to the feature geometry such that the feature [sonorant] is dependent on the root node rather than being an integral part of that node. In Chapter 3 it is argued that vowel length in Sliammon is not distinctive but rather that vowel length is derived. It is derived by a process essentially equivalent to Compensatory Lengthening (CL). Further the Sliammon facts support Hayes's (1989) hypothesis that "it is the moraic structure of the language and not its vowel inventory that determines whether CL may occur". It is proposed that further study of languages which permit bimoraic syllables will confirm this hypothesis.

description: Particle acceleration to suprathermal energies in strong astrophysical shock waves is a widespread phenomenon, generally explained by diffusive shock acceleration. Such shocks can also amplify upstream magnetic field considerably beyond simple compression. The complex plasma physics processes involved are often parameterized by assuming that shocks put some fraction $ε_e$ of their energy into fast particles, and another fraction $ε_B$ into magnetic field. Modelers of shocks in supernovae, supernova remnants, and gamma-ray bursters, among other locations, often assume typical values for these fractions, presumed to remain constant in time. However, it is rare that enough properties of a source are independently constrained that values of the epsilons can be inferred directly. Supernova remnants (SNRs) can provide such circumstances. Here we summarize results from global fits to spatially integrated emission in six young SNRs, finding $10^{-4} \le ε_e \le 0.05$ and $0.001 \le ε_B \le 0.1$. These large variations might be put down to the differing ages and environments of these SNRs, so we conduct a detailed analysis of a single remnant, that of Kepler's supernova. Both epsilons can be determined at seven different locations around the shock, and we find even larger ranges for both epsilons, as well as for their ratio (thus independent of the shock energy itself). We conclude that unknown factors have a large influence on the efficiency of both processes. Shock obliquity, upstream neutral fraction, or other possibilities need to be explored, while calculations assuming fixed values of the epsilons should be regarded as provisional.

description: Le travail de nuit a de nombreux effets sur l’organisme. Les impacts de l’alimentation durant le travail de nuit sont décrits dans la littérature. Cependant, aucune étude ne se concentre sur les techniciens en radiologie médicale (TRM). Leur charge de travail étant difficilement planifiable, les facteurs qui influencent l’alimentation peuvent varier. L’objectif de notre recherche est d’observer les habitudes alimentaires des TRM durant les gardes de nuit. Nous avons utilisé une méthode mixte, alliant un relevé de ce qui est consommé durant les nuits dans un journal de bord à un entretien semi-directif. Huit participants ont été recrutés dans quatre hôpitaux, sur une base volontaire. Nous avons pu mettre en avant une forte influence de la charge de travail sur l’alimentation. L’organisation du service a également un impact. Les modalités disponibles pendant la nuit ainsi que la formation du personnel vont influencer le temps de pause disponible. D’autres facteurs d’influence sont ressortis, en lien avec des choix personnels ou des informations reçues, notamment. Finalement, il est ressorti que le choix d’aliments froids et sucrés était plus fréquent. Nous avons pu mettre en avant que les TRM sont soumis aux mêmes facteurs d’influence que ceux évoqués dans la littérature, malgré le peu de nuits effectuées. Nous suggérons une sensibilisation des TRM à la problématique ainsi que l’aménagement d’un temps de pause défini. Il serait intéressant d’étudier les conditions de travail de nuit, qui peuvent beaucoup varier d’un hôpital à l’autre.

description: The equilibrium free energy landscape of off-lattice model heteropolymers as a function of an internal coordinate, namely the end-to-end distance, is reconstructed from out-of-equilibrium steered molecular dynamics data. This task is accomplished via two independent methods: by employing an extended version of the Jarzynski equality (EJE) and the inherent structure (IS) formalism. A comparison of the free energies estimated with these two schemes with equilibrium results obtained via the umbrella sampling technique reveals a good quantitative agreement among all the approaches in a range of temperatures around the ``folding transition'' for the two examined sequences. In particular, for the sequence with good foldability properties, the mechanically induced structural transitions can be related to thermodynamical aspects of folding. Moreover, for the same sequence the knowledge of the landscape profile allows for a good estimation of the life times of the native configuration for temperatures ranging from the folding to the collapse temperature. For the random sequence, mechanical and thermal unfolding appear to follow different paths along the landscape.

description: A first order phase transition is found in a model which was introduced originally by Murthy and Shankar [Phys. Rev. B 60, 6517 (1999)] to describe systems of generalised exclusion statistics. I characterise the phase transition in the canonical and grandcanonical ensebles for the case when the statistical exclusion parameter is 1, which corresponds to the Fermi exclusion statistics. We observe that in the grandcanonical ensemble the phase transition has no latent heat, but it has a finite jump in the particle number. In canonical conditions--when the particle number is held fix--the internal energy is discontinuous at the transition.

description: We calculate the Ehrenfest-time dependence of the leading quantum correction to the spectral form factor of a ballistic chaotic cavity using periodic orbit theory. For the case of broken time-reversal symmetry, our result differs from that previously obtained using field-theoretic methods [Tian and Larkin, Phys. Rev. B 70, 035305 (2004)]. The discrepancy shows that short-time regularization procedures dramatically affect physics near the Ehrenfest-time.

description: Der vorliegende Text bewegt sich im Spannungsfeld zwischen vernunftorientiertem Handeln und dem Prozess des positiven Wandels im Zusammenhang ökologischer, ökonomischer und gesellschaftlicher Ziele der Nachhaltigkeit. Die Rolle von Kunst und Kreativität ergibt sich hierbei daraus, dass Veränderungen im Handeln der Menschen nur hervorgerufen werden können, wenn vernunftorientierte wissenschaftliche Erkenntnisse sinnlich-emotional erfasst werden, sowie eine grundlegende Wertebildung durch ästhetische Erfahrung in Bezug auf die alltäglichen Lebensprozesse stattfinden kann. Die Möglichkeiten der Kunst und Kunstpädagogik werden dabei ausgelotet und für gesellschaftliche Potenziale hinterfragt. Nachhaltigkeit braucht Wertebildung. Werte entstehen insbesondere durch ästhetische Erfahrungen, welche im Kunstunterricht gemacht werden. Für Wertpräferenzen werden Grundlagen gelegt und Werterleben findet zwanglos statt.

description: Compact quantum electrodynamics (CQED$_3$) with Dirac fermionic matter provides an adequate framework for elucidating the universal low-energy physics of a wide variety of (2+1)D strongly correlated systems. Fractionalized states of matter correspond to its deconfined phases, where the gauge field is effectively noncompact, while conventional broken-symmetry phases are associated with confinement triggered by the proliferation of monopole-instantons. While much attention has been devoted lately to the symmetry classification of monopole operators in massless CQED$_3$ and related 3D conformal field theories, explicit derivations of instanton dynamics in parton gauge theories with fermions have been lacking. In this work, we use semiclassical methods analogous to those used by 't Hooft in the solution of the $U(1)$ problem in 4D quantum chromodynamics (QCD) to explicitly demonstrate the symmetry-breaking effect of instantons in CQED$_3$ with massive fermions, motivated by a fermionic parton description of hard-core bosons on a lattice. By contrast with the massless case studied by Marston, we find that massive fermions possess Euclidean zero modes exponentially localized to the center of the instanton. Such Euclidean zero modes produce in turn an effective four-fermion interaction -- known as the 't Hooft vertex in QCD -- which naturally leads to two possible superfluid phases for the original microscopic bosons: a conventional single-particle condensate or an exotic boson pair condensate without single-particle condensation.

description: This paper deals with the asymptotic distribution of Wishart matrix and its application to the estimation of the population matrix parameter when the population eigenvalues are block-wise infinitely dispersed. We show that the appropriately normalized eigenvectors and eigenvalues asymptotically generate two Wishart matrices and one normally distributed random matrix, which are mutually independent. For a family of orthogonally equivariant estimators, we calculate the asymptotic risks with respect to the entropy or the quadratic loss function and derive the asymptotically best estimator among the family. We numerically show 1) the convergence in both the distributions and the risks are quick enough for a practical use, 2) the asymptotically best estimator is robust against the deviation of the population eigenvalues from the block-wise infinite dispersion.

description: We give a universal SL(2,R)-invariant expression for all IIB p-brane actions with p=-1,1,3,5,7,9. The Wess-Zumino terms in the brane actions are determined by requiring (i) target space gauge invariance and (ii) the presence of a single Born-Infeld vector. We find that for p=7 (p=9) brane actions with these properties only exist for orbits that contain the standard D7-brane (D9-brane). We comment about the actions for the other orbits.

description: We study the thermodynamic properties of topological Josephson junctions using a quantum spin Hall (QSH) insulator-based junction as an example. In particular, we propose that phase-dependent measurements of the heat capacity offer an alternative to Josephson-current measurements to demonstrate key topological features. Even in an equilibrium situation, where the fermion parity is not conserved, the heat capacity exhibits a pronounced double peak in its phase dependence as a signature of the protected zero-energy crossing in the Andreev spectrum. This double-peak feature is robust against changes of the tunneling barrier and thus allows one to distinguish between topological and trivial junctions. At short time scales fermion parity is conserved and the heat capacity is $4π$-periodic in the superconducting phase difference. We propose a dispersive setup coupling the Josephson junction to a tank LC circuit to measure the heat capacity of the QSH-based Josephson junction sufficiently fast to detect the $4π$-periodicity. Although explicitly calculated for a short QSH-based Josephson junction, our results are also applicable to long as well as nanowire-based topological Josephson junctions.

description: Αντικείμενο της εργασίας είναι η παρουσίαση των κύριων «σχολών» ερμηνείας της Παύλειας θεολογίας περί της θείας χάριτος, ήτοι της Πατερικής παραδόσεως, της παλαιάς μεταρρυθμιστικής κατά βάση ερμηνείας και της Νέας προοπτικής. Ακολούθως, στο σύνολο της εργασίας παρουσιάζουμε ερμηνευτικά χωρία Πατέρων της Εκκλησίας από διαφορετικούς αιώνες (από τον Δ΄ αι. έως τον ΙΑ΄ αι.), προκειμένου να αναδείξουμε την αρραγή ενότητα της Πατερικής παραδόσεως, η οποία αποτέλεσε κοινή βάση της θεολογικής σκέψης κατά την πρώτη χιλιετία κοινής πορείας του χριστιανισμού, πριν από το σχίσμα του 1054. Στα Ζ΄ κεφάλαια της έρευνας αναλύουμε την χρήση του όρου και τις ποικίλες έννοιες που αυτός είχε στη θύραθεν γραμματεία, την Παλαιοδιαθηκική και Καινοδιαθηκική χρήση και σημασιολογία του και στη συνέχεια την παύλεια χρήση του, την αντίθεση της χάριτος έναντι του Νόμου, τη σύνδεση της χάριτος με το πρόσωπο του Χριστού, τη δωρεά αυτής προς το πεπτωκός ανθρώπινο γένος χάριν του απολυτρωτικού θανάτου του Θεανθρώπου, τη σύνδεση της χάριτος με τη μυστηριακή ζωή της Εκκλησίας, τον νέο Ισραήλ, και κυρίως το Βάπτισμα και τη θεία Ευχαριοτία, τη σωτηριολογική διάσταση της θείας χάριτος, η οποία παρέχεται διά του Θεού στους κόλπους της Εκκλησίας, ενώ στο τελευταίο τη συνδέουμε τον όρο ελευθερία και την απελευθέρωση της ανθρώπινης φύσης από τη δουλεία της αμαρτίας και τον Νόμο
description: The aim of the present thesis is the study of the main ‘schools’ of the interpretation of Pauline theology about God’s saving Grace, namely the Patristic tradition, the old reformist school interpretation which emphasizes the antithesis between grace and works, and the school of the New Perspective. We quote an interpretational passages of Fathers of the Church from different centuries (from the 4th century to the 11th centuries), in order to highlight the unity of the patristic tradition, which was a common basis of theological thought during the first millennium of a common course of Christianity, before the schism of 1054. In the seven chapters of our work we analyze the use of the term ‘Grace’ and the various approaches of this concept at the Gentile word, its meaning and signification at the Old Testament and the New Testament and its importance to Pauline thought. The apostle of the Nations underlines the contrast between Grace and the Mosaic Law, the relation between the grace and Christ’s sacrifice, the divine donation for the salvation of the human nature after Adam’s transgression, the connection of grace to the sacramental life of the Church, the new Israel, and especially to the Baptism and the Divine Eucharist, the salvific dimension of the divine grace provided by the grace of God in the Church, while in the latter chapter of the work we associate the grace with the term liberty, the liberation of human nature from the slavery of the sin and the Mosaic Law

description: We study the problem of the practical realization of an abstract quantum circuit when executed on quantum hardware. By practical, we mean adapting the circuit to particulars of the physical environment which restricts/complicates the establishment of certain direct interactions between qubits. This is a quantum version of the classical circuit placement problem. We study the theoretical aspects of the problem and also present empirical results that match the best known solutions that have been developed by experimentalists. Finally, we discuss the efficiency of the approach and scalability of its implementation with regards to the future development of quantum hardware.

description: Lifelong learning capabilities are crucial for sentiment classifiers to process continuous streams of opinioned information on the Web. However, performing lifelong learning is non-trivial for deep neural networks as continually training of incrementally available information inevitably results in catastrophic forgetting or interference. In this paper, we propose a novel iterative network pruning with uncertainty regularization method for lifelong sentiment classification (IPRLS), which leverages the principles of network pruning and weight regularization. By performing network pruning with uncertainty regularization in an iterative manner, IPRLS can adapta single BERT model to work with continuously arriving data from multiple domains while avoiding catastrophic forgetting and interference. Specifically, we leverage an iterative pruning method to remove redundant parameters in large deep networks so that the freed-up space can then be employed to learn new tasks, tackling the catastrophic forgetting problem. Instead of keeping the old-tasks fixed when learning new tasks, we also use an uncertainty regularization based on the Bayesian online learning framework to constrain the update of old tasks weights in BERT, which enables positive backward transfer, i.e. learning new tasks improves performance on past tasks while protecting old knowledge from being lost. In addition, we propose a task-specific low-dimensional residual function in parallel to each layer of BERT, which makes IPRLS less prone to losing the knowledge saved in the base BERT network when learning a new task. Extensive experiments on 16 popular review corpora demonstrate that the proposed IPRLS method sig-nificantly outperforms the strong baselines for lifelong sentiment classification. For reproducibility, we submit the code and data at:https://github.com/siat-nlp/IPRLS.

Some preconceptions brought to the study of sound by students in grade eight
Creators: name: Aspden, William E.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2008

description: This study is a natural history of ideas brought to the study of sound by a sample of Grade Eight students. The topic of sound was chosen partly because of the technical background of the researcher and partly because of the lack of previous research combining sound and Junior-Secondary students. The research technique used was a Piaget-style interview lasting approximately fifteen minutes in which the students were encouraged to physically explore various apparatus and to explain why that apparatus made sounds. The interviews we rerecorded on audiotape and the tapes were then transcribed. The typescripts were then analysed to create a set of conceptual profiles. The analyses were then considered in terms of de Bono's Levels of Understanding. Furthermore, certain difficulties, particularly with concepts related to waves and difficulties related to language, were discussed. Suggestions were made for further research.
