Exponentially Damped Breit-Pauli Hamiltonian for the Description of Positronium Decay and Other High-energy Processes

description: The conventional explanation for the 1.022 MeV decay of positronium in terms of the annihilation of an electron and its antiparticle is questioned because of the impossibility of proving experimentally that matter actually disappears. Recent work has provided evidence that photons are not destroyed in radiative absorption, for example, but rather attain an undetectable (E=h(nu)=0) state. Questioning the creation-annihilation hypothesis in the case of positronium decay leads to the construction of an exponentially damped Breit-Pauli Hamiltonian which when employed in a Schroedinger equation gives an e+e- ground state with a binding energy of 1.022 MeV. The analogous treatment does not produce any (unobserved) states of similarly low energy for the hydrogen atom, but by virtue of a simple scaling theorem it does lead to a maximal proton-antiproton binding energy of 1.876 GeV, which is exactly mp/me times larger than for e+e-. Arguments are presented to identify the resulting tightly bound e+ e- system with the photon itself, since both are ascribed a zero rest mass. The above Hamiltonian is identified with the unified electroweak interaction, especially since it also proves applicable to the description of neutrino processes. It is pointed out that the analogous (nu)(bar nu) binary systems would be subject to predissociation into free neutrinos and antineutrinos, however, unlike their much more strongly bound e+ e- and p+ p- counterparts. This observation suggests a different explanation for the well-known solar neutrino problem than the flavor-oscillation theory which has been proposed earlier.

description: In a paper by Maartens, Lesame and Ellis (Class. Quant. Grav. 15, 1005) it was shown that irrotational dust solutions with vanishing electric part of the Weyl tensor are subject to severe integrability conditions and it was conjectured that the only such solutions are FLRW spacetimes. In their analysis the possibility of a cosmological constant Lambda was omitted. The conjecture is proved, irrespective as to whether Lambda is zero or not, and qualitative differences with the case of vanishing magnetic Weyl curvature are pointed out.

description: This paper uses Data Envelopment Analysis to measure scale and technical efficiencies of 925 farms in rural Colombia and a Tobit model to identify the effects of land market characteristics on efficiency. Findings indicate that although larger farms are more scale efficient, they are not more technical efficient than small farms. Participation in land markets increases technical efficiency, indicating a positive potential role for market-based land reform. Further results show that intensity of violence in rural areas results in increased scale efficiency, allegedly through consolidation of land ownership.

description: This paper is based on a course given by the author at the University of Rome ``La Sapienza'' in the Academic year 2000/2001. The intended aim of the course was to rapidly introduce, although not in an exhaustive way, the non-expert PhD student to deformations of compact complex manifolds, from the very beginning to some recent (i.e. at that time not yet published) results. The goal of these lectures is to give a soft introduction to extended deformation theory. In view of the aim (and the hope) of keeping this paper selfcontained, user friendly and with a tolerating number of pages, we consider only deformations of compact complex manifolds. Anyhow, most part of the formalism and of the results that we prove here will apply to many other deformation problems.

Numerical expressions in the oracle-bone and bronze inscriptions : quantificational typology and the origin of the Chinese classifier system
Creators: name: Campbell, Roderick Bruce
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis will attempt to give a syntactic, semantic and pragmatic account of numerical expressions in the earliest attested stages of the Chinese language, the oracle-bone and bronze inscriptions. Early Inscriptional Chinese (EIC) numerical expressions can be classified into three different word orders: order I: Num N, order II: N Num and order III: N Num N. While order I is unmarked, orders II and III are marked, focus related structures. Specifically, when kind and number are being proposed or focused separately it causes the determiner phrase (DP) to be split in two, one part denoting kind and the second denoting number. Syntactically, the second DP is an adjunct of the first DP and co-referential to it, and together, they form a DP apposition structure. Based on the fact that order III is also the unmarked structure for measure phrases, it is proposed that the second noun in this construction is a classifier. In support, we presented a cross-linguistic study of classifiers based on recent work on the semantics of plurality and mass. From this investigation we proposed a distinction between languages that take the singular as default ("bottom up" languages) and those that take transnumeral as default ("top down" languages). Within the "top down" languages there are those that perform the operation of transnumeral to singular with an affix, a clitic, a lexical item or nothing at all. EIC uses the default strategy of not marking number, but in focus related order HI marks it with a lexical item (a classifier). This distinguishes EIC from modern Chinese dialects which have obligatory number marking and always use classifiers. Finally, we propose that this marked focus structure gradually lost its marked status and spread to non-focus contexts.

description: Near infrared spectroscopy and photometry of the Wolf-Rayet Star WR 143 (HD 195177) were obtained in the $JHK$ photometric bands. High resolution spectra observed in the J and H bands exhibit narrow 1.083-micron He I line and the H I Pa Beta and the Brackett series lines in emission superposed on the broad emission line spectrum of the Wolf-Rayet star, giving strong indications of the presence of a companion. From the narrow emission lines observed, the companion is identified to be an early-type Be star. The photometric magnitudes exhibit variations in the JHK bands which are probably due to the variability of the companion star. The flux density distribution is too steep for a Wolf-Rayet atmosphere. This is identified to be mainly due to the increasing contribution from the early-type companion star towards shorter wavelengths.

description: Unconditionally secure non-relativistic bit commitment is known to be impossible in both the classical and the quantum worlds. But when committing to a string of n bits at once, how far can we stretch the quantum limits? In this paper, we introduce a framework for quantum schemes where Alice commits a string of n bits to Bob in such a way that she can only cheat on a bits and Bob can learn at most b bits of information before the reveal phase. Our results are two-fold: we show by an explicit construction that in the traditional approach, where the reveal and guess probabilities form the security criteria, no good schemes can exist: a+b is at least n. If, however, we use a more liberal criterion of security, the accessible information, we construct schemes where a=4log n+O(1) and b=4, which is impossible classically. We furthermore present a cheat-sensitive quantum bit string commitment protocol for which we give an explicit tradeoff between Bob's ability to gain information about the committed string, and the probability of him being detected cheating.

description: Concepts from the Ergodic Theory are used to describe the existence of non-transitive maps in attractors of phase synchronous chaotic systems. It is shown that for a class of phase-coherent systems, e.g. the sinusoidally forced Chua's circuit and two coupled R{ö}ssler oscillators, phase synchronization implies that such maps exist. These ideas are also extended to other coupled chaotic systems. In addition, a phase for a chaotic attractor is defined from the tangent vector of the flow. Finally, it is discussed how these maps can be used to real time detection of phase synchronization in experimental systems.
Observational evidence of the formation of cyanopolyynes in CRL618 through the polimerization of HCN

description: The abundance ratio of consecutive members of the cyanopolyynes family has been explored in CRL618 using data acquired in a complete line survey covering the frequency range 81-356 GHz. The Jup range explored for the different molecules is the following: 1 to 4 for HCN and HNC, 9 to 39 for HC3N, 31 to 133 for HC5N, and 72 to 85 for HC7N (not detected beyond Jup=85). The lowest vibrationally excited state of HC7N (nu_15 at 62 cm^-1) has been tentatively detected. Data analysis has been performed by extending our previous geometrical and radiative transfer model of the slowly expanding envelope (SEE) surrounding the compact central continuum source of CRL 618, that was established from the study of rotational lines in several vibrationally excited states of HC_3N. The new lines analyzed here require to model the high velocity wind (HVW) component and the colder circumstellar gas, remnant of the AGB phase of CRL618. The derived HC3N/HC5N and HC5N/HC7N abundance ratios from this set of uniformly calibrated lines are between 3 and 6 in the different regions, similar to standard values in the CSM and ISM, and consistent with previous estimates obtained from ISO observations and chemical models. However, the abundance ratios of HC3N, HC5N and HC7N with respect to HCN are at least two orders of magnitude larger than those typical for AGB C-rich stars, such as IRC+10216. This fact indicates that, in the short transition toward the Planetary Nebula phase, HCN is quickly reprocessed into longer cyanopolyyne chains. A similar behavior was previously found in this object for the polyacetylenic chains (C(2n)H2).

They exploit the anonymity of the Internet, the micro-profiling ability of social networks, and the ease of automatically creating and managing coordinated networks of accounts, to reach millions of social network users with persuasive messages, specifically targeted to topics each individual user is sensitive to, and ultimately influencing the outcome on a targeted issue. In this survey, we review the state of the art on computational propaganda detection from the perspective of Natural Language Processing and Network Analysis, arguing about the need for combined efforts between these communities. We further discuss current challenges and future research directions.

Developing therapeutic strategies for prevention of neonatal herpes : antivirals and microbicides
Creators: name: Leung, Daniel Ted
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Genital herpes is a sexually transmitted disease affecting many women of childbearing age. Recurrences during childbirth can result in transmission to the neonate. The current strategy to prevent neonatal herpes has focused on the use of suppressive acyclovir therapy in late pregnancy. Issues pertaining to the safety, efficacy, and cost-effectiveness of this treatment were evaluated in our investigation. To examine the potential myelosuppressive effects of acyclovir use in late pregnancy, a clinical trial protocol was developed and implemented. A lack of enrolment in this placebo-controlled study led to inconclusive results. However, quantitative analysis of cord blood samples from the same patients revealed that although adequate blood levels are achieved with most patients at delivery, a longer duration of labor was correlated with lower levels. Inadequate levels of acyclovir could result in reactivation and viral shedding, thus endangering the neonate. Therefore, issues of noncompliance and vomiting during labor need to be addressed. For this investigation, a sensitive and rapid analytical assay with small volume requirements was developed and validated for the detection of acyclovir in plasma using capillary electrophoresis technology. With solid phase extraction and ultraviolet detection, the limit of quantification and the limit of detection was 20 ng/ml and 5.5 ng/ml, respectively. Suppressive acyclovir use in pregnancy was demonstrated to be cost-effective in a Canadian context, with most of the savings due to the avoidance of caesarean sections. This therapy was found to be especially cost effective in women with greater than 6 recurrences per year. Finally, the use of dendrimers as vaginal microbicides was proposed as an alternative strategy for the prevention of neonatal herpes. In vitro studies demonstrated that this class of compounds acts on both early and late stages of herpes simplex virus replication, making it a suitable candidate as an adjunct to existing oral antiviral therapy.

description: Identifiers make up a majority of the text in code. They are one of the most basic mediums through which developers describe the code they create and understand the code that others create. Therefore, understanding the patterns latent in identifier naming practices and how accurately we are able to automatically model these patterns is vital if researchers are to support developers and automated analysis approaches in comprehending and creating identifiers correctly and optimally. This paper investigates identifiers by studying sequences of part-of-speech annotations, referred to as grammar patterns. This work advances our understanding of these patterns and our ability to model them by 1) establishing common naming patterns in different types of identifiers, such as class and attribute names; 2) analyzing how different patterns influence comprehension; and 3) studying the accuracy of state-of-the-art techniques for part-of-speech annotations, which are vital in automatically modeling identifier naming patterns, in order to establish their limits and paths toward improvement. To do this, we manually annotate a dataset of 1,335 identifiers from 20 open-source systems and use this dataset to study naming patterns, semantics, and tagger accuracy.

description: Fuzzy rule-based model is a powerful tool for imitating the human way of thinking and solving uncertainty-related problems as it allows for understandable and interpretable rule bases. The objective of this paper is to study the applicability of fuzzy rule-based modelling to quantify soil classification for engineering purposes by qualitatively considering soil index properties. The classification system of the Highway Research Board is considered to illustrate a fuzzy rule-based model. The soil's index properties are fuzzified using triangular functions, and the fuzzy membership values are calculated. Fuzzy arithmetical operators are then applied to the membership values obtained for classification. Fuzzy decision tree classification algorithm is used to derive fuzzy if-then rules to quantify qualitative soil classification. The proposed system is implemented in MATLAB. The results obtained are checked and the implementation of the proposed model is measured against the outcomes of the laboratory tests.

description: In this letter we propose the search of dark photons in the decay of pions produced by $γγ$ interactions in ultraperipheral $PbPb$ collisions. The cross section is estimated considering an accurate treatment for the absorptive corrections and for the nuclear form factor. Predictions for the event rates are presented considering the expected luminosities for the LHC, High -- Luminosity LHC and High -- Energy LHC as well as for the Future Circular Collider. Our results indicate that a future experimental analysis of the pion production in ultraperipheral heavy ion collisions can be useful to probe the dark photon production and constrain its properties.

description: It is well-known that children and adolescents with obesity have increased over recent decades which in turn carries greater risk of co-morbidities and poses a preventive as well as a therapeutic challenge. Currently, there are limited recommendations available on proven methods for recording physical fitness in children and adolescents presenting with extreme obesity. In this study, twenty participants, aged 12–17 years, with a body mass index (BMI) above the 99.5th percentile, were comparatively assessed, using a correlation between their physical fitness on a bicycle (BC) and treadmill (TM) cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) with a lactate diagnostic. The results of the BC and the TM were as follows: maximum heart rate ( HRmax) 186.4 ± 8.6 beats per minute (bpm) vs. 190.8 ± 8.8 bpm, peak oxygen consumption ( VO2peak/kg) 23.5 ± 2.9 ml/min/ kg vs. 25.4 ± 3.1 ml/min/kg, and maximum lactate ( Lamax) 6.4 ± 1.6 mmol/l vs. 5.6 ± 1.4 mmol/l. The values of HRmax and VO2peak/ kg were significantly higher for adolescents tested on the TM. However, no significant difference was observed in either Lamax values or between the genders. Conclusions: The higher values of HRmax and VO2peak/ kg could be attributed to the activation of a higher percentage of muscle mass on the TM. Lower Lamax values on the TM suggest maximum physical exertion was not achieved. This could be due to the extreme body weight carried by the participants. Both the BC and the TM CPET could be used for assessing physical fitness in children and adolescents with extreme obesity but should not be used interchangeably.

description: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impacts of China's entry into the World Trade Organization on the world wheat industry. Special attention is given to the impact on the U.S. wheat industry. The Global Wheat Policy Simulation Model was used for this analysis. This study indicates that the total value of China's imports from the United States in 2005 are predicted to increase by $221 million in the normal import scenario and $842 million in the maximum import scenario. However, net increases in U.S. export value would range from $127 million to $577 million in 2005 because increased world price of wheat in the scenarios lowers wheat imports from other countries.

description: Consolidation of county government services is often proposed as a way to reduce costs. A bill was proposed in the 1993 North Dakota Legislative Assembly to merge North Dakota's 53 counties into 15 "super counties." This study estimates county expenditure functions for four categories of services: (1) general government, (2) public safety, (3) roads and highways, and (4) health and welfare. The statistical results were used to estimate expenditures for the 15 consolidated counties and a 26-county alternative. The results indicate that the 15-county proposal would have achieved cost savings of 4.9 percent for the four service categories. Costs of road and highway, general government, and health and welfare services could be reduced 3, 10, and 15 percent, respectively, under the 15-county proposal, but public safety expenditures would increase 25 percent. The 26-county alternative would provide less total cost savings, but also fewer cases of cost increases. Consolidation of some, but not all, county government services provides the greatest cost savings.

description: Agriculture remains a major component in the North Dakota economy, yet many activities within the agricultural industry remain unquantified. The purpose of this study was to measure the economic contribution of the soybean industry to the North Dakota economy. Expenditures and returns from soybean production, grain handling, and transportation were estimated to calculate the direct economic impacts from soybean activities. Secondary economic impacts were estimated using the North Dakota Input-Output Model. Since 1995, soybean acreage in the United States has increased substantially in nontraditional row-crop regions, such as those found in some parts of North Dakota. Soybean acreage in the state has increased 135 percent since 1995, and 210 percent since 1990. The expansion of soybean production in North Dakota has been limited to the eastern half of the state, with the largest concentration of production occurring in the Red River Valley. Soybean production in North Dakota averaged 1.2 million planted acres from 1996 to 1998. Direct impacts (expenditures and returns) from soybean production averaged $184 per acre or $221 million annually from 1996 through 1998. Average direct impacts from handling soybeans at North Dakota elevators were estimated at $4.3 million annually. Transportation of soybeans to market destinations was estimated to generate $10.1 million in annual direct impacts to the state. Total direct impacts from soybean production, grain handling, and transportation were estimated at $235.4 million annually. Total annual economic impacts (direct and secondary effects) from soybean production, grain handling, and transportation were estimated at $579 million, $11.7 million, and $26.3 million, respectively. The total annual economic impact from all soybean activities was estimated at $617 million. Soybean industry activities supported 7,700 full-time secondary jobs in North Dakota. Soybean activities were also responsible for $25 million in combined property tax, sales tax, individual income tax, and corporate income tax revenues.

description: A nanoring-rotaxane supramolecular assembly, with a Cy7 cyanine dye (hexamethylindotricarbocyanine) threaded along the axis of the nanoring, has been synthesized as a model for the energy transfer between the light harvesting complex LH1 and the reaction center in purple bacteria photosynthesis. The complex displays efficient energy transfer from the central cyanine dye to the surrounding zinc porphyrin nanoring. We present a theoretical model that reproduces the absorption spectrum of the nanoring and quantifies the excitonic coupling between the nanoring and the central dye, explaining the efficient energy transfer and elucidating the similarity with structurally related natural light harvesting systems.

description: Effective economic regulation demands clear objectives, sound economic reasoning and a careful analysis of the inevitable trade-offs between conflicting societal interests. The key problems are linked to the information asymmetry between the regulator and the regulated firms. Although the market principle may provide some useful guidelines, the problems of bankruptcy and windfall profits remain to be addressed. In this overview, we discuss how modern yardstick regimes in combination with franchise auctions provide powerful solutions that may contribute to both societal and industry demands.

description: We present time-resolved optical spectroscopy and photometry of four relatively bright (V~14.0-15.5) long-period cataclysmic variables (CVs) discovered in the Hamburg Quasar Survey: HS0139+0559, HS0229+8016, HS0506+7725 and HS0642+5049. Their respective orbital periods, 243.69+-0.49min, 232.550+-0.049min, 212.7+-0.2min and 225.90+-0.23min are determined from radial velocity and photometric variability studies. HS0506+7725 is characterised by strong Balmer and He emission lines, short-period (~10-20min) flickering and weak X-ray emission in the ROSAT All Sky Survey. The detection of a deep low state (~18.5) identifies HS0506+7725 as a member of the VY Scl stars. HS0139+0559, HS0229+8016 and HS0642+5049 display thick-disc like spectra and no or only weak flickering activity. HS0139+0559 and HS0229+8016 exhibit clean quasi-sinusoidal radial velocity varations of their emission lines but no or very little orbital photometric variability. In contrast, we detect no radial velocity variation in HS0642+5049 but a noticeable orbital brightness variation. We identify all three systems either as UX UMa-type novalike variables or as Z Cam-type dwarf novae. Our identification of these four new systems underlines that the currently known sample of CVs is rather incomplete even for bright objects. The four new systems add to the clustering of orbital periods in the 3-4h range found in the sample of HQS selected CVs, and we discuss the large incidence of magnetic CVs and VY Scl/SW Sex stars found in this period range among the known population of CVs.

description: This paper models the availability of bikes at San Francisco Bay Area Bike Share stations using machine learning algorithms. Random Forest (RF) and Least-Squares Boosting (LSBoost) were used as univariate regression algorithms, and Partial Least-Squares Regression (PLSR) was applied as a multivariate regression algorithm. The univariate models were used to model the number of available bikes at each station. PLSR was applied to reduce the number of required prediction models and reflect the spatial correlation between stations in the network. Results clearly show that univariate models have lower error predictions than the multivariate model. However, the multivariate model results are reasonable for networks with a relatively large number of spatially correlated stations. Results also show that station neighbors and the prediction horizon time are significant predictors. The most effective prediction horizon time that produced the least prediction error was 15 minutes.

Quality control methods for monitoring the variability of moisture content in kiln-dried lumber
Creators: name: Ristea, Catalin
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Monitoring the variability of moisture content in lumber is a problem of utmost importance in kiln-drying. This thesis focused on determining the distribution of moisture content in lumber, and on the application of statistical process control principles to monitor the drying process through the use of quality control charts. Specific parameters of the charts for monitoring the process average and process dispersion were determined. The charts were developed on the assumption that the data under analysis has a Lognormal distribution. To test whether this assumption is valid or not for moisture content, graphical and numerical tests were employed as goodness of fit methods. Graphical methods utilized in this research were symmetry and probability plots, and empirical cumulative distribution function graphs. Numerical methods employed in this study were goodness of fit tests based on empirical distribution function statistics. Procedures were developed for both graphical and numerical goodness-of-fit methods, and also for construction of control charts for Lognormal variables. The methods presented were tested on a data set of actual Douglas-Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) lumber collected from a production facility in British Columbia, Canada. It was determined that the Lognormal distribution provided a good fit for the experimental data. Therefore, the proposed control charts for Lognormal data are to be used instead of the customary charts based on the Normality assumption.
Dynamical evolution of intermediate mass black holes and their observable signatures in the nearby Universe

description: We investigate the consequences of a model of the assembly and growth of massive black holes from primordial seeds, remnants of the first generation of stars in a hierarchical structure formation scenario. Our model traces the build-up of MBHs from an early epoch, and follows the merger history of dark matter halos and their associated holes via Monte Carlo realizations of the merger hierarchy from early times to the present time. The sequence of minor and major mergers experienced by galactic halos in their hierarchical growth affects the merger history of MBHs embedded in their nuclei. So, if the formation route for the assembly of SMBHs dates back to the early universe, a large number of BH interactions is inevitable. Binary black holes coalescence timescales can be long enough for a third BH to fall in and interact with the central binary. These BH triple interactions lead typically to the final expulsion of one of the three bodies and to the recoil of the binary. Also, asymmetric emission of gravitational waves in the last stages of the black hole merging can give a recoil velocity to the centre of mass of the coalescing binary. This scenario leads to the prediction of a population of intermediate mass BHs (IMBHs) wandering in galaxy halos at the present epoch. We compute the luminosity distribution produced by these IMBHs accreting from their circumstellar medium. We find that in a Milky Way-sized galaxy they are unable to account for sources with luminosities > 1e39 erg/s unless they carry a baryonic remnant from which they are able to accrete for a long time. We also find that, for typical spiral galaxies, the bright end of the point source distribution correlates with the mass of the galaxy, and the most luminous sources are expected to be found in the disk.
