A Conjectured Bound on Accidental Symmetries

description: In this note, we study a large class of four-dimensional R-symmetric theories, and we describe a new quantity, τ_U, which is well-defined in these theories. Furthermore, we conjecture that this quantity is larger in the ultraviolet (UV) than in the infrared (IR), i.e. that τ_U^{UV}>τ_U^{IR}. While we do not prove this inequality in full generality, it is straightforward to show that our conjecture holds in the subset of theories that do not have accidental symmetries. In addition, we subject our inequality to an array of non-trivial tests in theories with accidental symmetries and dramatically different dynamics both in N=1 and N=2 supersymmetry and find that our inequality is obeyed. One interesting consequence of this conjecture is that the mixing of accidental symmetries with the IR superconformal R current is bounded by the UV quantity, τ_U^{UV}. To demonstrate the potential utility of this bound, we apply it to the somewhat mysterious SU(2) gauge theory of Intriligator, Seiberg, and Shenker and show that our conjecture, if correct, implies that this theory flows in the IR to an interacting superconformal field theory.

Exploring "Multiple Worlds" in Parallel
Creators: name: Smith, Jonathan M.
name: Maguire, Gerald Q.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1989
Subjects: Computer science

description: We examine computing alternative solutions to a problem in parallel to improve response time. Problems with exploring multiple alternatives in parallel include (1) side-effects and (2) combinatorial explosion in the amount of state which must be preserved. These are solved by process management and an application of "copy-on-write" virtual memory management. The side effects resulting from interprocess communication are handled by a specialized message layer which interacts with process management The effect is to create "Multiple Worlds", which are different due to the alternate solution methods. but internally self-consistent. We show how such a "Multiple Worlds" scheme can be used for several applications.

description: As a compound in between the tantalum oxide and nitride, the tantalum oxynitride TaON is expected to combine their advantages and act as an efficient visible-light-driven photocatalyst. In this letter, using hybrid functional calculations we show that TaON has different defect properties from the binary tantalum oxide and nitride: (i) instead of O or N vacancies or Ta interstitials, the $O_N$ antisite is the dominant defect, which determines its intrinsic n-type conductivity and the p-type doping difficulty; (ii) the $O_N$ antisite has a shallower donor level than O or N vacancies, with a delocalized distribution composed mainly of the Ta $5d$ orbitals, which gives rise to better electronic conductivity in the oxynitride than in the oxide and nitride. The phase stability analysis reveals that the easy oxidation of TaON is inevitable under O rich conditions, and a relatively O poor condition is required to synthesize stoichiometric TaON samples.
Comparing early language development in monolingually-exposed and bilingually-exposed young children with autism
Creators: name: Ohashi, Jennifer Kaori
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: By definition, individuals with autism have marked language delays. Parents of children with autism are often advised not to raise their child with autism in a bilingual environment because of the belief that exposure to two languages will overload the child’s language system and result in further delays. This study compared a group of recently-diagnosed bilingually-exposed children with autism (n=20) ages 24-52 months with a matched group of monolingually-exposed children with autism (n=40). The groups were matched with regard to chronological age at the time of language assessment and nonverbal IQ score. The groups were compared with regard to the severity of children’s autism-related communication impairment, age of first words, age of first phrases, receptive vocabulary scores, receptive language scores, expressive language scores, and functional communication scores. Two sets of univariate ANOVAs were performed. First, univariate ANOVAs (without a covariate) were performed for autism-related communication impairment, age of first words and age of first phrases. Second, a series of univariate ANCOVAs, with the total number of speech-language and applied behavior analysis intervention hours entered as a covariate, was performed on the remaining dependent variables. All analyses determined that there were no statistically significant differences between the two groups on all language measures. The results suggest that a bilingual language environment does not disadvantage young children with autism in the early stages of language development. Limitations of the study and implications are discussed with regard to future research and clinical implications.

description: Salvaged bricks should not give rise to any particular problems when used inside buildings. Their use under conditions that require exposure to weather, however, should be avoided because many of their properties have an adverse effect on the quality and performance of the brickwork. The need for "old-fashioned" bricks for this application can be met from current Canadian brick production which includes bricks imitating the colour, texture, shape and dimensions of the bricks made in earlier times but not possessing their inherent weaknesses. When it is considered necessary to use reclaimed bricks externally, careful attention must be paid to the design of the wall to afford it as much protection as possible from wetting, including that from rain, soil moisture, or the migration of water vapour from within the building. A mortar composed of lime and sand is desirable for laying salvaged bricks.

description: A fundamental problem of cosmic ray (CR) physics is the determination of the average properties of Galactic CRs outside the Solar system. Starting from COS-B data in the 1980's, gamma-ray observations of molecular clouds in the Gould Belt above the Galactic plane have been used to deduce the Galactic CR energy spectrum. We reconsider this problem in view of the improved precision of observational data which in turn require a more precise treatment of photon production in proton-proton scatterings. We show that the spectral shape $dN/dp\propto p^{-2.85}$ of CR protons as determined by the PAMELA collaboration in the energy range 80 GeV

description: The set of orientable imbeddings of a graph can be partitioned according to the genus of the imbedding surfaces. A genus-respecting breakdown of the number of orientable imbeddings is obtained for every graph in each of two infinite classes. It is proved that the genus distribution of any member of either class is strongly unimodal. These are the first two infinite classes of graphs for which such calculations have been achieved, except for a few classes, such as trees and cycles, whose members have all their cellular orientable imbeddings in the sphere.

description: Fleshy fruits can be divided between climacteric (CL, showing a typical rise in respiration and ethylene production with ripening after harvest) and non-climacteric (NC, showing no rise). However, despite the importance of the CL/NC traits in horticulture and the fruit industry, the evolutionary significance of the distinction remains untested. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that NC fruits, which ripen only on the plant, are adapted to tree dispersers (feeding in the tree), and CL fruits, which ripen after falling from the plant, are adapted to ground dispersers. A literature review of 276 reports of 80 edible fruits found a strong correlation between CL/NC traits and the type of seed disperser: fruits dispersed by tree dispersers are more likely to be NC, and those dispersed by ground dispersers are more likely to be CL. NC fruits are more likely to have red–black skin and smaller seeds (preferred by birds), and CL fruits to have green–brownish skin and larger seeds (preferred by large mammals). These results suggest that the CL/NC traits have an important but overlooked seed dispersal function, and CL fruits may have an adaptive advantage in reducing ineffective frugivory by tree dispersers by falling before ripening.
Cubic Spline Interpolation: A Review
Creators: name: Wolberg, George
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1988
Subjects: Computer science

description: The purpose of this paper is to review the fundamentals of interpolating cubic splines. We begin by defining a cubic spline in Section 1. Since we are dealing with interpolating splines, constraints are imposed to guarantee that the spline actually passes through the given data points. These constraints are described in Section 2. They establish a relationship between the known data points and the unknown coefficients used to completely specify the spline. Due to extra degrees of freedom, the coefficients may be solved in terms of the first or second derivatives. Both derivations are given in Section 3. Once the coefficients are expressed in terms of either the first or second derivatives, these unknown derivatives must be determined. Their solution, using one of several end conditions, is given in Section 4. Finally source code, written in C, is provided in Section 5 to implement cubic spline interpolation for uniformly and nonuniformly spaced data points.

description: We present a 3D collaborative virtual environment, CHIME, in which geographically dispersed students can meet together in study groups or to work on team projects. Conventional educational materials from heterogeneous backend data sources are reflected in the virtual world through an automated metadata extraction and projection process that structurally organizes container materials into rooms and interconnecting doors, with atomic objects within containers depicted as furnishings and decorations. A novel in-world authoring tool makes it easy for instructors to design environments, with additional in-world modification afforded to the students themselves, in both cases without programming. Specialized educational services can also be added to virtual environments via programmed plugins. We present an example plugin that supports synchronized viewing of lecture videos by groups of students with widely varying bandwidths.

Transparent Concurrent Execution of Mutually Exclusive Alternatives
Creators: name: Smith, Jonathan M.
name: Maguire, Gerald Q.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1988
Subjects: Computer science

description: We examine the task of concurrently computing alternative solutions to a problem. We restrict our interest to the case where only one of the solutions is needed; in this case we need some rule for selecting between the solutions. We use "fastest first," where the first successful alternative is selected. For problems where the required execution time is unpredictable, such as database queries. this method can show substantial execution time performance increases. These increases are dependent on the mean execution time of the alternatives, the fastest execution time, and the overhead involved in concurrent computation. Among the problems with exploring multiple alternatives in parallel are side-effects and combinatorial explosion in the amount of state which must be preserved. These are solved by process management and an application of "copy-on-write" virtual memory management. The side effects resulting from interprocess communication are handled by a specialized message layer which interacts with process management. In order to test the utility of the design, we show how it can be applied to two application areas, distributed execution of recovery blocks and OR-parallelism in Prolog.
LinkWidth: A Method to measure Link Capacity and Available Bandwidth Using Single-End Probes

Publisher: name: Columbia University

description: We introduce LinkWidth, a method for estimating capacity and available bandwidth using single-end controlled TCP packet probes. To estimate capacity, we generate a train of TCP RST packets "sandwiched" between two TCP SYN packets. Capacity is obtained by end-to-end packet dispersion of the received TCP RST/ACK packets corresponding to the TCP SYN packets. Our technique is significantly different from the rest of the packet-pair-based measurement techniques, such as CapProbe, pathchar and pathrate, because the long packet trains minimize errors due to bursty cross-traffic. TCP RST packets do not generate additional ICMP replies preventing cross-traffic interference with our probes. In addition, we use TCP packets for all our probes to prevent some types of QoS-related traffic shaping from affecting our measurements. We extend the Train of Packet Pairs technique to approximate the available link capacity. We use pairs of TCP packets with variable intra-pair delays and sizes. This is the first attempt to implement this technique using single-end TCP probes, tested on a wide range of real networks with variable cross-traffic. We compare our prototype with pathchirp and pathload, which require control of both ends, and demonstrate that in most cases our method gives approximately the same results.
Economic withholding in the Alberta electricity market

Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2008

description: Bibliography: p. 166-169
description: The economic use of offer restatements in the restructured Alberta electricity market can be seen as an exercise of market power. By using this mechanism to alter their energy offer, a supplier can withhold supply from the market leading to a significant price effect. This thesis examines this behaviour in the first half of 2006. Evidence is provided that the locking restatement in particular is used to economically withhold capacity from the market. It is shown that in some instances the impact on pool price from this withholding of capacity is more than $300/MWh and the associated transfer of wealth from load to supply, more than 3 million dollars in a single hour. It is also shown that this exercise of market power is carried out repeatedly during the six month period examined and a large fraction of the instances can be attributed to a single participant.
Meson distribution amplitudes in holographic models

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study the wave functions of light and heavy mesons in both hard-wall (HW) and soft-wall (SW) holographic models which use AdS/CFT correspondence. In the case of massless constituents, the asymptotic behaviors of the electromagnetic form factor, the distribution amplitudes, and the decay constants for the two models are the same, if the relation between the dilaton scale parameter and the size of meson is an inverse proportion. On the other hand, by introducing a quark mass dependence in the wave function, the differences of the distribution amplitudes between the two models are obvious. In addition, for the SW model, the dependences of the decay constants of meson on the dilaton scale parameter $κ$ differ; especially f_{Qq}\sim κ^3/m_Q^2 is consistent with the prediction of the heavy quark effective theory if κ\sim m_Q^{1/2}. Thus the parameters of the two models are fit by the decay constants of the distinct mesons; the distribution amplitudes and the ξ-moments are calculated and compared.

Prepared core reduction strategies at Kudo Koppie and the modern human behaviour debate
Creators: name: Wilkins, Jayne Rhae
Publisher: name: University of Calgary
Year: 2008

description: Bibliography: p. 167-182
description: The aim of this thesis is to describe the prepared core reduction strategies employed at Kudu Koppie, a stratified terminal Earlier Stone age/Sangoan and MSA archaeological site located in the Limpopo region of northern South Africa, and relate lithic reduction to the variables ohime and raw material. A technological analysis of the prepared cores and endproducts of Kudu Koppie suggests that both the Sangoan and MSA toolmakers employed the Levallois Volumetric Concept, but often exploited a nodule' s natural convexities and form. The MSA toolmakers used a greater variety of prepared core methods and more intensely exploited cryptocrystalline nodules, the scarcity of which may have resulted in a more "formalized" application of the Levallois Volumetric Concept. These observations are considered in light of their cognitive and economic implications, and within the context of the behavioural modernity debate.

Encapsulation, Reusability and Extensibility in Object-Oriented Programming Languages
Creators: name: Micallef, Josephine
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1987
Subjects: Computer science

description: The object-oriented paradigm, first introduced in the language Simula, has been the central design principle of many new programming languages, and has also resulted in object oriented extensions to existing conventional languages. This paper is a comparative survey of objectoriented programming languages (OOPLs). The framework for the comparison is the suitability of OOPLs for the development of large software systems. We therefore limit our discussion to their suppon for (1) encapsulation - the strict enforcement of information-hiding; (2) reusability - the ability to reuse a system, or parts thereof, in the construction of a new system; and (3) extensibility - the ease with which a software system may be changed.

Subjects: Computer science

description: The proposed research addresses three problems associated with performing incremental evaluation of attribute grammars: (1) multiple asynchronous subtree replacements in the parse tree that are initiated by external agents, (2) segmentation of the parse tree according to granularity of access rights with respect to these agents, and (3) distribution of the segments across a reliable network. The research focuses on one exemplary application, distributed multi-user language-based environments, where the parse tree represents a program being developed, the subtree replacements are changes to the program, the external agents are programmers, the granularity of segments corresponds to the modularization of the program, and the nodes of the network are the programmers' workstations.

Geometric Transformation Techniques for Digital Images: A Survey
Creators: name: Wolberg, George
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 1988
Subjects: Computer science

description: This survey presents a wide collection of algorithms for the geometric transformation of digital images. Efficient image transformation algorithms are critically important to the remote sensing, medical imaging, computer vision, and computer graphics communities. We review the growth of this field and compare all the described algorithms. Since this subject is interdisciplinary, emphasis is placed on the unification of the terminology, motivation, and contributions of each technique to yield a single coherent framework. This paper attempts to serve a dual role as a survey and a tutorial. It is comprehensive in scope and detailed in style. The primary focus centers on the three components that comprise all geometric transformations: spatial transformations, resampling, and antialiasing. In addition, considerable attention is directed to the dramatic progress made in the development of separable algorithms. The text is supplemented with numerous examples and an extensive bibliography.

Patterns and ecological consequences of exotic plant invasion in Canada's endangered antelope-brush ecosystem
Creators: name: Symonds, Josephine Elizabeth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Exotic species invasion is a serious threat to ecosystem structure and function throughout the world. In an effort to understand and limit the future effects of invasion, recent research has focused on quantifying and predicting patterns of exotic plant invasion based on abiotic and biotic features, particularly native species diversity, over multiple spatial scales. I investigated native-exotic richness relationships (NERRs) and their scale-sensitivity and predictability within the antelope-brush (Purshia tridentata Pursh (DC)) shrub-steppe grasslands of the South Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, one of Canada’s four most endangered ecosystems and a national hot spot of biodiversity and endemism. I applied for the first time the concept of focus, which describes one aspect of observational scale, to the NERR and built upon previous studies to determine how different components of scale influence the NERR. I found that the NERR was affected by changing the grain but not the focus or extent of analysis in the antelope-brush grasslands. Contrary to the prevailing hypothesis, I found a highly significant positive NERR at the finest grain and focus (i.e., 1 m²) that appeared to be influenced at least in part by preferential facilitation of exotic plants by antelope-brush shrubs. Also contrary to expectations from the literature, I found no association between exotic and native species richness at the broadest grain and focus (i.e., 1,000 m²), and that mean environmental conditions and variation in these conditions failed to account for significant variation in broad focus exotic species richness in this system. These unexpected results challenged me to re-examine my data in light of other possible hypotheses and to develop a novel interpretive framework that provides a theoretical explanation for all possible NERR results given a particular focus of analysis and study system. Although correlative, the patterns observed in this study may simplify the scope of exotic plant management in the antelope-brush grasslands, as they suggest that broad focus environmental heterogeneity has limited influence on species richness. However, the indication that biotic factors, particularly facilitation by antelope-brush shrubs, influence exotic species richness and abundance at fine focuses poses unique challenges to conservation efforts in this endangered ecosystem.

description: DADO (Stolfo and Shaw, 1982) is a highly parallel, tree-structured machine designed to provide significant performance improvements in the execution of Artificial Intelligence software. The DADO prototype, currently being constructed at Columbia University, comprises 1023 processing elements (PE's) each consisting of an Intel 8751 microcomputer chip and an Intel 2186 8K by 8 RAM chip. The PE's are interconnected in a complete binary tree. A full version of DADO would comprise on the order of a hundred thousand PE's each consisting ot a much smaller amount ot local memory, roughly 2K bytes of RAM. (The 8K RAM employed in the DADO prototype was chosen to allow a modest amount of flexibility in designing and implementing the software base for the full version of DADO.) In addition, a specialized combinatorial I/O switch is incorporated in the full DADO design to perform the most basic communication primitives at much higher speeds than is possible with sequential logic, as it is implemented on the prototype machine.

description: An efficient and convenient one-pot cascade synthesis of 2,4-dichloroquinazolines directly from isatin-3-oximes with the addition of bis(trichloromethyl)carbonate and triarylphosphine oxide was developed, leading to substituted quinazolines in moderate to excellent yields. The efficiency of this transformation was demonstrated by compatibility with a range of functional groups. Thus, the method represents a convenient and practical strategy for the synthesis of substituted 2,4-dichloroquinazolines.

DotSlash: A Scalable and Efficient Rescue System for Handling Web Hotspots

Subjects: Computer science

description: This paper describes DotSlash, a scalable and efficient rescue system for handling web hotspots. DotSlash allows different web sites to form a mutual-aid community, and use spare capacity in the community to relieve web hotspots experienced by any individual site. As a rescue system, DotSlash intervenes when a web site becomes heavily loaded, and is phased out once the workload returns to normal. It aims to complement existing web server infrastructure such as CDNs to handle short-term load spikes effectively, but is not intended to support a request load constantly higher than a web site's planned capacity. DotSlash is scalable, cost-effective, easy to use, self-configuring, and transparent to clients. It targets small web sites, although large web site can also benefit from it. We have implemented a prototype of DotSlash on top of Apache. Experiments show that DotSlash can provide an order of magnitude improvement for a web server in terms of the request rate supported and the data rate delivered to clients even if only HTTP redirect is used. Parts of this work may be applicable to other services such as the Grid computational services and media streaming.

description: Photoproduction of neutral pions has been studied with the CBELSA/TAPS detector in the reaction $γp\to pπ^0$ for photon energies between 0.85 and 2.50 GeV. The $π^0$ mesons are observed in their dominant neutral decay mode: $π^0\toγγ$. For the first time, the differential cross sections cover the very forward region, $θ_{\rm c.m.}<60^\circ$. A partial-wave analysis of these data within the Bonn-Gatchina framework observes the high-mass resonances $G_{17}$(2190), $D_{13}$(2080), and $D_{15}$(2070).

Statistical Security of a Statistical Data Base

description: This paper proposes a statistical perturbation scheme to protect a statistical database against compromise. The proposed scheme can handle the security of numerical as well as non-numerical sensitive fields or a combination of fields. Furthermore, knowledge of some records in a database does not help to compromise unknown records. We use Chebychev's inequality to analyze the tradeoffs between the magnitude of the perturbations, the error incurred by statistical queries and the size of the query set to which they apply. We show that if the statistician is given absolute error guarantees, then a compromise is possible but the cost is made exponential in the size of the database.

Cross-Dimensional Gestural Interaction Techniques for Hybrid Immersive Environments

Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2004
Subjects: Computer science

description: We present a set of interaction techniques for a hybrid user interface that integrates existing 2D and 3D visualization and interaction devices. Our approach is built around one- and two-handed gestures that support the seamless transition of data between co-located 2D and 3D contexts. Our testbed environment combines a 2D multi-user, multi-touch, projection surface with 3D head-tracked, see-through, head-worn displays and 3D tracked gloves to form a multi-display augmented reality. We also address some of the ways in which we can interact with private data in a collaborative, heterogeneous workspace.

Deconvolution of band limited functions on non-compact symmetric spaces
Creators: name: Pesenson, Isaac
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Functional Analysis (math.FA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: It is shown that a band limited function on a non-compact symmetric space can be reconstructed in a stable way from some countable sets of values of its convolution with certain distributions of compact support. A reconstruction method in terms of frames is given which is a generalization of the classical result of Duffin-Schaeffer about exponential frames on intervals. The second reconstruction method is given in terms of polyharmonic average splines.
