description: Information flow, opinion, and epidemics spread over structured networks. When using individual node centrality indicators to predict which nodes will be among the top influencers or spreaders in a large network, no single centrality has consistently good ranking power. We show that statistical classifiers using two or more centralities as input are instead consistently predictive over many diverse, static real-world topologies. Certain pairs of centralities cooperate particularly well in statistically drawing the boundary between the top spreaders and the rest: local centralities measuring the size of a node's neighbourhood benefit from the addition of a global centrality such as the eigenvector centrality, closeness, or the core number. This is, intuitively, because a local centrality may rank highly some nodes which are located in dense, but peripheral regions of the network---a situation in which an additional global centrality indicator can help by prioritising nodes located more centrally. The nodes selected as superspreaders will usually jointly maximise the values of both centralities. As a result of the interplay between centrality indicators, training classifiers with seven classical indicators leads to a nearly maximum average precision function (0.995) across the networks in this study.

description: We analyse the $r \to \infty$ asymptotic decay of the total correlation function, $h(r)$, for a fluid composed of particles interacting via a (point) Yukawa pair potential. Such a potential provides a simple model for dusty plasmas. The asymptotic decay is determined by the poles of the liquid structure factor in the complex plane. We use the hypernetted-chain closure to the Ornstein-Zernike equation to determine the line in the phase diagram, well-removed from the freezing transition line, where crossover occurs in the ultimate decay of $h(r)$, from monotonic to damped oscillatory. We show: i) crossover takes place via the same mechanism (coalescence of imaginary poles) as in the classical one-component plasma and in other models of Coulomb fluids and ii) leading-order pole contributions provide an accurate description of $h(r)$ at intermediate distances $r$ as well as at long range.

description: Variability in water supplies is perceived as a major impediment to economic growth in both agricultural and energy sectors in the Intermountain West. A chance-constrained programming model of water allocations among agricultural, energy, municipal and industrial, and environmental activities for the Upper Colorado River Basin and the Great Basin in Utah was developed to analyze economically optimal water use as energy production increases. Estimates of the probabilities of various amounts of water production, representing different drought conditions, were used as right-hand sides in the model. Results indicate that water is not a constraining factor and that little, if any, water development is warranted, even during relatively intense periods of drought.

description: We revisit the hyperon weak radiative decays in the framework of the non-relativistic constituent quark model. This study confirms the nonlocal feature of the hyperon weak radiative transition operators which are dominated by the pole terms, and an overall self-consistent description of the available experimental data for the Cabibbo-favored hyperon weak radiative decays is achieved. It provides a natural mechanism for evading the Hara theorem, where sizeable parity-violating contributions can come from the intermediate orbital excitations. Cancellations between pole terms also explain significant SU(3) flavor symmetry breaking manifested by the experimental data. We also discuss several interesting selection rules arising from either the electromagnetic or the weak interaction vertices. These features suggest nontrivial relations among different hyperon decays.

description: Little progress has been made in testing the often conflicting hypotheses generated from theoretical research on cooperatives. This paper addresses the deficiency by describing and applying (to California cotton ginning cooperatives) a methodology to test key hypotheses concerning (a) cooperatives' price-output equilibrium, (b) allocative efficiency, and (c) utilization of capital inputs. The empirical results (a) are consistent with predictions from the game theory model of cooperative behavior, (b) reject the null hypothesis of absolute allocative efficiency, and (c) indicate absolute overutilization of capital inputs among the sample cooperatives.

Unconditionally secure key distillation from multi-photons

Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In this paper, we prove that the unconditionally secure key can be surprisingly extracted from {\it multi}-photon emission part in the photon polarization-based QKD. One example is shown by explicitly proving that one can indeed generate an unconditionally secure key from Alice's two-photon emission part in ``Quantum cryptography protocols robust against photon number splitting attacks for weak laser pulses implementations'' proposed by V. Scarani {\it et al.,} in Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 92}, 057901 (2004), which is called SARG04. This protocol uses the same four states as in BB84 and differs only in the classical post-processing protocol. It is, thus, interesting to see how the classical post-processing of quantum key distribution might qualitatively change its security. We also show that one can generate an unconditionally secure key from the single to the four-photon part in a generalized SARG04 that uses six states. Finally, we also compare the bit error rate threshold of these protocols with the one in BB84 and the original six-state protocol assuming a depolarizing channel.
description: The title has changed again. We considerably improved our presentation, and furthermore we proposed & analyzed a security of a modified SARG04 protocol, which uses six states
Thrombopoietin mediated regulation of murine hematopoietic progenitors
Creators: name: Oates, Jennifer S. M.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A number of studies have suggested that primitive hematopoietic cells respond to thrombopoietin (TPO) and that this growth factor has a non-redundant role in regulating early stages of hematopoiesis. The present study was designed to investigate more precisely the effects of an absence of TPO-mediated signaling in vivo on the generation/maintenance of specific subsets of primitive hematopoietic cells and to evaluate their ability to generate derivative progenitors in response to various growth factors in vitro. Initial tests confirmed that colony-forming cell (CFC) frequencies in the marrow of both types of mutant mice were reduced (~2-fold) and showed that longterm culture-initiating cell (LTC-IC) numers were even further reduced (~3-fold). The marrow of tpo[sup -/-] and c-mpl[sup -/-] mice also contained fewer Sca-1⁺(S⁺) lineage marker-negative (lin⁻) Hoechst 33342-stained side population (SP) and S⁺ c-kit⁺ L⁻ (S⁺K⁺L⁻) cells (~2-fold). The CFC output per LTC-IC from tpo[sup -/-] and c-mpl[sup -/-] mice was also reduced (~3-fold) as shown by both limiting dilution assays and single cell LTC-IC cultures. Similarly, 10-day suspension cultures of S⁺K⁺L⁻ and S⁺L⁻ SP cells from tpo[sup -/-] and c-mpl[sup -/-] mice produced 3- 5-fold fewer CFCs, regardless of the growth factors added. Single cell cultures showed this was due to a decreased number of mutant clones containing CFCs. Addition of either TPO or interleukin-11 to Steel factor (SF) and flt3-ligand (FL) in cultures of tpo[sup -/-] S⁺K⁺L⁻ cells also failed to enhance the generation of LTC-IC activity in spite of an ability of IL-11 to elicit such a response. The most significant findings from these studies are: 1) in vivo TPO-mediated signaling is required for the generation of normal sized compartments of several stages of early hematopoietic progenitors with the most profound influence seen on the more primitive cells; and 2) in the presence of SF and FL in vitro, TPO does not enhance the output of primitive progenitors from +/+ cells beyond that obtained by the activation of gp130.

Productivity Analysis

description: The economic efficiency of 68 Ecuadorian dairy farms is investigated by estimating technical, allocative, and scale efficiencies for each using stochastic frontier methodology. Empirical results show that technical inefficiency exists for all of these farms - ranging from 11.8% to 12.8%. Large and medium-sized farms are found to be allocatively more efficient than the small farms as a group. Finally, estimates of scale inefficiency show that most of these farms are producing output at a level below the optimum.
Orbits in Extended Mass Distributions: General Results and the Spirographic Approximation

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: This paper explores orbits in extended mass distributions and develops an analytic approximation scheme based on epicycloids (spirograph patterns). We focus on the Hernquist potential which provides a good model for many astrophysical systems, including elliptical galaxies, dark matter halos, and young embedded star clusters. For a given potential, one can readily calculate orbital solutions as a function of energy and angular momentum using numerical methods. In contrast, this paper presents a number of analytic results for the Hernquist potential and proves a series of general constraints showing that orbits have similar properties for any extended mass distribution (including, e.g., the NFW profile). We discuss circular orbits, radial orbits, zero energy orbits, different definitions of eccentricity, analogs of Kepler's law, the definition of orbital elements, and the relation of these orbits to spirograph patterns (epicycloids). Over much of parameter space the orbits can be adequately described (with accuracy better than 10%) using the parametric equations of epicycloids, thereby providing an analytic description of the orbits. As an application of this formal development, we find a solution for the orbit of the Large Magellanic Cloud in the potential of our Galaxy.

description: In dark matter axion searches, quantum uncertainty manifests as a fundamental noise source, limiting the measurement of the quadrature observables used for detection. We use vacuum squeezing to circumvent the quantum limit in a search for a new particle. By preparing a microwave-frequency electromagnetic field in a squeezed state and near-noiselessly reading out only the squeezed quadrature, we double the search rate for axions over a mass range favored by recent theoretical projections. We observe no signature of dark matter axions in the combined $16.96-17.12$ and $17.14-17.28\spaceμ\text{eV}/c^2$ mass window for axion-photon couplings above $g_γ = 1.38\times g_γ^\text{KSVZ}$, reporting exclusion at the 90% level.

The 450 bp products were initially typed by hybridisation or line blots using HPV specific probes, but this typing was later replaced by sequencing. Positive results for the L1 region only confirm the presence of HPV DNA. The E6 and or E7 primers however can relate to oncogenicity of HPV in the tissues

The possibility of existence of dynamic traversable wormholes, without resorting to an exotic matter, has been studied. By using the fact that the Einstein field equations are modified in 3+1 dimensions due to the brane corrections, we investigate the exact solutions which satisfy null energy condition. Asymptotic flatness is an important property of these solutions. We discuss some physical and mathematical properties of the solutions.

description: This paper examines farmland investment decisions using a stochastic dynamic programming framework. Consideration is given to the dynamic, stochastic nature of farmland returns, linkages between farmland returns and farmland prices, and the effects of the above dynamic factors on a farm's financial structure. Optimal decisions to purchase or sell farmland are found for a central Illinois farm with high quality farmland. Sizes and debt distributions are then determined, given that the optimal decision rule is followed. Decisions from the dynamic programming model also are compared to a capital budgeting model.

description: We develop two theoretical approaches for dealing with the low-energy effects of the repulsive interaction in one-dimensional electron systems. Renormalization Group methods allow us to study the low-energy behavior of the unscreened interaction between currents of well-defined chirality in a strictly one-dimensional electron system. A dimensional regularization approach is useful, when dealing with the low-energy effects of the long-range Coulomb interaction. This method allows us to avoid the infrared singularities arising from the long-range Coulomb interaction at $D = 1$. We can also compare these approaches with the Luttinger model, in order to analyze the effects of the short range term in the interaction. Thanks to these methods, we are able to discuss the effects of a strong magnetic field $B$ in quasi one-dimensional electron systems, by focusing our attention on Carbon Nanotubes. Our results imply a variation with $B$ in the value of the critical exponent $α$ for the tunneling density of states, which is in fair agreement with that observed in a recent transport experiment involving carbon nanotubes. The dimensional regularization allows us to predict the disappearance of the Luttinger liquid, when the magnetic field increases, with the formation of a chiral liquid with $α=0$.

description: We investigate how loop-level propagators arise from tree level via a forward-limit procedure in two modern approaches to scattering amplitudes, namely the BCFW recursion relations and the scattering equations formalism. In the first part of the paper, we revisit the BCFW construction of one-loop integrands in momentum space, using a convenient parametrisation of the D-dimensional loop momentum. We work out explicit examples with and without supersymmetry, and discuss the non-planar case in both gauge theory and gravity. In the second part of the paper, we study an alternative approach to one-loop integrands, where these are written as worldsheet formulas based on new one-loop scattering equations. These equations, which are inspired by BCFW, lead to standard Feynman-type propagators, instead of the `linear'-type loop-level propagators that first arose from the formalism of ambitwistor strings. We exploit the analogies between the two approaches, and present a proof of an all-multiplicity worldsheet formula using the BCFW recursion.

description: We present a publicly available library of model atmospheres with radiative-convective equilibrium Pressure-Temperature ($P$-$T$) profiles fully consistent with equilibrium chemical abundances, and the corresponding emission and transmission spectrum with R$\sim$5000 at 0.2 $μ$m decreasing to R$\sim$35 at 30 $μ$m, for 89 hot Jupiter exoplanets, for four re-circulation factors, six metallicities and six C/O ratios. We find the choice of condensation process (local/rainout) alters the $P$-$T$ profile and thereby the spectrum substantially, potentially detectable by JWST. We find H$^-$ opacity can contribute to form a strong temperature inversion in ultra-hot Jupiters for C/O ratios $\geq$ 1 and can make transmission spectra features flat in the optical, alongside altering the entire emission spectra. We highlight how adopting different model choices such as thermal ionisation, opacities, line-wing profiles and the methodology of varying the C/O ratio, effects the $P$-$T$ structure and the spectrum. We show the role of Fe opacity to form primary/secondary inversion in the atmosphere. We use WASP-17b and WASP-121b as test cases to demonstrate the effect of grid parameters across their full range, while highlighting some important findings, concerning the overall atmospheric structure, chemical transition regimes and their observables. Finally, we apply this library to the current transmission and emission spectra observations of WASP-121b, which shows H$_2$O and tentative evidence for VO at the limb, and H$_2$O emission feature indicative of inversion on the dayside, with very low energy redistribution, thereby demonstrating the applicability of library for planning and interpreting observations of transmission and emission spectrum.

description: In April 2017, the Event Horizon Telescope observed the shadow of the supermassive black hole at the core of the elliptical galaxy Messier 87. While the original image was constructed from measurements of the total intensity, full polarimetric data were also collected, and linear polarimetric images are expected in the near future. We propose a modal image decomposition of the linear polarization field into basis functions with varying azimuthal dependence of the electric vector position angle. We apply this decomposition to images of ray traced general relativistic magnetohydrodynamics simulations of the Messier 87 accretion disk. For simulated images that are physically consistent with previous observations, the magnitude of the coefficient associated with rotational symmetry, $β_2$, is a useful discriminator between accretion states. We find that at 20 $μ$as resolution, $|β_2|$ is greater than 0.2 only for models of disks with horizon-scale magnetic pressures large enough to disrupt steady accretion. We also find that images with a more radially directed electric vector position angle correspond to models with higher black hole spin. Our analysis demonstrates the utility of the proposed decomposition as a diagnostic framework to improve constraints on theoretical models.

Ritual music in a North China village : the continuing Confucian and Buddhist heritage
Creators: name: Du, Yaxiong
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Beixinzhuang village, with a population o f about one thousand, is located in the suburbs of Beijing, about twenty-five kilometres to the southeast of the city centre. In 1951, some youths of the village organized a music association and started to learn Bei]ing yinyue (jingyinyue "Beijing music") from a monk living in the village. Over the past half century, the main goal of the Association has been to maintain this music tradition, its most important activity being the performance of music for funeral ceremonies. There has been great change over this period, and the Association has been struggling to keep its tradition. In order to survive, it has had to enlarge its repertoire to fit the changing society. Today, although their repertoire has been greatly expanded, with many different styles o f music added, the most important pieces are of two types: Beijing yinyue pieces learned from the monk, and popular songs adopted mainly from the media. The present work is a study of the Beixinzhuang Music Association and its repertoire as influenced by Confucianism, the predominant traditional ideology o f China, and in terms of the fundamentals of traditional Chinese music theory. Chapter I introduces the cultural background and existing research of Beijing yinyue. Chapter II reviews Confucian belief in theory and practice. Chapter III addresses the organization o f the Association and its activities, and Chapter IV introduces its material culture. Chapter V analyzes the local repertoire and Chapter VI examines the integration of this music into the funeral rituals. A postscript attempts to explain the reasons for change in the repertoire.

description: Corn acreage response in Iowa is examined using a time-varying parameter regression model. Separate estimates of the permanent portion of the parameter vector are obtained for each year over the period 1957-82. The estimated elasticities are grouped into "program" and "nonprogram" periods. The results indicate corn acreage response is more own-price elastics, and the elasticity is less variable under government acreage control programs than under a "nonprogram" regime. The assumption of parameter constancy is shown to be inappropriate for modeling Iowa corn acreage response over time.

description: ALICE is the experiment at the CERN LHC devoted to study heavy-ion collisions. An upgrade program of the ALICE detector is ongoing toward the LHC Run 3 starting in 2022 together with the upgrade of the data acquisition system and the detector control system (DCS). One of the main projects of the current ALICE upgrade program is the addition of the muon forward tracker (MFT), a new silicon pixel detector located at forward rapidity. In this paper, we describe the DCS of the MFT detector which is entirely controlled via a finite state machine in a hierarchical system.

description: We present an experimental technique for realizing a specific absorption spectral pattern in a rare-earth-doped crystal at cryogenic temperatures. This pattern is subsequently probed on two spectral channels simultaneously, thereby producing an error signal allowing frequency locking of a laser on the said spectral pattern. Appropriate combination of the two channels leads to a substantial reduction of the detection noise, paving the way to realizing an ultra-stable laser for which the detection noise can be made arbitrarily low when using multiple channels. We use such technique to realize a laser with a frequency instability of $1.7\times 10^{-15}$ at 1 second, not limited by the detection noise but by environmental perturbation of the crystal. This is comparable with the lowest instability demonstrated at 1 second to date for rare-earth doped crystal stabilized lasers.
Constraints on radiatively inefficient accretion history from Eddington ratio distribution of active galactic nuclei

description: The transition of a standard thin disk to a radiatively inefficient accretion flow (RIAF) is expected to occur, when the accretion rate is close to the critical rate. The radiative efficiencies of accretion flows accreting at rates lower than the critical accretion rate become significantly lower than that of standard thin disks. It is believed that the initial transition radius is small just after the accretion mode transition, and then the transition radius increases with decreasing accretion rate, as suggested by some theoretical models and observations. Based on such variable transition radius models, we derive how the dimensionless accretion rate evolves with time from the observed Eddington ratio distribution for a sample of low-luminosity active galactic nuclei in the local universe. The derived time-dependent accretion rates show a rapid decrease after the transition of the standard thin accretion disk to a RIAF, which is consistent with that derived from the hard X-ray background.

description: Experimental conclusions from air shower observations on cosmic-ray photons above 10^19 eV are based on the comparison to detailed shower simulations. For the calculations, the photonuclear cross-section needs to be extrapolated over several orders of magnitude in energy. The uncertainty from the cross-section extrapolation translates into an uncertainty of the predicted shower features for primary photons and, thus, into uncertainties for a possible data interpretation. After briefly reviewing the current status of ultra-high energy photon studies, the impact of the uncertainty of the photonuclear cross-section for shower calculations is investigated. Estimates for the uncertainties in the main shower observables are provided. Photon discrimination is shown to be possible even for rapidly rising cross-sections. When photon-initiated showers are identified, it is argued that the sensitivity of photon shower observables to the photonuclear cross-section can in turn be exploited to constrain the cross-section at energies not accessible at colliders.
