Year: 2017

description: The CIRS kitchen space is routinely left uncleaned, despite having signs within the kitchen space telling inhabitants to do so. To address this problem, we tested the relationship between wording of signs in 3 common kitchens of the CIRS building at UBC, and CIRS inhabitants’ behaviors and attitudes towards leaving their dishes in the sink. We used pre and post surveys to measure out participant’s attitudes towards the space, and then observed CIRS inhabitants’ behaviors with the original signs, and then after a week, changed the wording of the signs to make them selfish-appeal/funny/moral-positive for the experimental conditions. Our study suggests (based on survey results) that in general, people do not feel responsible for the cleanliness of the CIRS common kitchens, it should be noted however that these responses could have been influenced by response biases within the survey. Changing the original signage, was also ineffective at the CIRS inhabitant’s behaviors. This effect could be due to observation bias and random variance, and could also be a product of limited observation time. For future research regarding the CIRS kitchen, we suggest testing other versions or aspects of the signs, such as sizing, color, font, and placement which may be more effective for changing people’s attitudes.

Order-parameter critical exponent of absorbing phase transitions in one-dimensional systems with two symmetric absorbing states
Creators: name: Park, Su-Chan
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Via extensive Monte Carlo simulations along with systematic analyses of corrections to scaling, we estimate the order parameter critical exponent $β$ of absorbing phase transitions in systems with two symmetric absorbing states. The value of $β$ was conjectured to be $\frac{13}{14}\approx 0.93$ and Monte Carlo simulation studies in the literature have repeatedly reproduced values consistent with the conjecture. In this paper, we systematically estimate $β$ by analyzing the effective exponent after finding how strong corrections to scaling are. We show that the widely accepted numerical value of $β$ is not correct. Rather, we obtain $β= 1.020(5)$ from different models with two symmetric absorbing states.

description: Material science literature is a rich source of factual information about various categories of entities (like materials and compositions) and various relations between these entities, such as conductivity, voltage, etc. Automatically extracting this information to generate a material science knowledge base is a challenging task. In this paper, we propose MatSciRE (Material Science Relation Extractor), a Pointer Network-based encoder-decoder framework, to jointly extract entities and relations from material science articles as a triplet ($entity1, relation, entity2$). Specifically, we target the battery materials and identify five relations to work on - conductivity, coulombic efficiency, capacity, voltage, and energy. Our proposed approach achieved a much better F1-score (0.771) than a previous attempt using ChemDataExtractor (0.716). The overall graphical framework of MatSciRE is shown in Fig 1. The material information is extracted from material science literature in the form of entity-relation triplets using MatSciRE.

description: We study the interactions among geographical mobility, unemployment and home- ownership in an economy with heterogeneous locations, endogenous construction and search frictions in the markets for both labour and housing. The decision of home- owners to accept job offers from other cities depends on how quickly they can sell their houses (i.e. their liquidity), which in turn depends on local labour market conditions. Consequently, home-owners accept job offers from other cities at a lower rate than do renters, generating a link between home-ownership and aggregate unemployment. When calibrated to match aggregate U.S. statistics on mobility, housing and labour flows, our model predicts that the effect of home-ownership on aggregate unemployment is small. When unemployment is high, however, changes in the rate of home-ownership can have economically significant effects.

description: Though research about caffeine use and its effects in adults is fairly substantial, little is known about caffeine use in adolescents. Using an online survey, we examined the habitual weekly caffeine consumption and its association with behavior, caffeine dependency and withdrawal, and sleep in a college sample (n = 252). Most respondents (79%) were regular caffeine consumers (consumed at least one type of caffeinated beverage more than once per week). Caffeine consumption was positively correlated with alcohol consumption and the following behavioral and emotional problems as measured by the Youth Self Report: somatic complaints, rule breaking behavior, externalizing problems, affective problems, and conduct problems. The most reported dependency criterion among regular caffeine consumers was having tried to limit caffeine consumption (50.8%). Of those who indicated having experienced withdrawal symptoms (n = 74), 49.3% said that withdrawal symptoms had interfered with their normal daily activities. Greater caffeine use was associated with greater sleep complaints. This study extends the minimal research on caffeine use in late adolescents by demonstrating that many in the college population experience significant functioning due to withdrawal and that habitual caffeine consumption is correlated with behavior patterns.

description: The $f$-sum rule and the Kohn formula are well-established general constraints on the electric conductivity in quantum many-body systems. We present their generalization to non-linear conductivities at all orders of the response in a unified manner, by considering two limiting quantum time-evolution processes: a quench process and an adiabatic process. Our generalized formulas are valid in any stationary state, including the ground state and finite temperature Gibbs states, regardless of the details of the system such as the specific form of the kinetic term, the strength of the many-body interactions, or the presence of disorders.

Epitaxially strained [001]-(PbTiO$_3$)$_1$(PbZrO$_3$)$_1$ superlattice and PbTiO$_3$ from first principles

description: The effect of layer-by-layer heterostructuring and epitaxial strain on lattice instabilities and related ferroelectric properties is investigated from first principles for the [001]-(PbTiO$_3$)$_1$(PbZrO$_3$)$_1$ superlattice and pure PbTiO$_3$ on a cubic substrate. The results for the superlattice show an enhancement of the stability of the monoclinic r-phase with respect to pure PbTiO$_3$. Analysis of the lattice instabilities of the relaxed centrosymmetric reference structure computed within density functional perturbation theory suggests that this results from the presence of two unstable zone-center modes, one confined in the PbTiO$_3$ layer and one in the PbZrO$_3$ layer, which produce in-plane and normal components of the polarization, respectively. The zero-temperature dielectric response is computed and shown to be enhanced not only near the phase boundaries, but throughout the r-phase. Analysis of the analogous calculation for pure PbTiO$_3$ is consistent with this interpretation, and suggests useful approaches to engineering the dielectric properties of artificially structured perovskite oxides.

description: The non-resonant two-photon ionization of hydrogen-like ions is studied in second-order perturbation theory, based on the Dirac equation. To carry out the summation over the complete Coulomb spectrum, a Green function approach has been applied to the computation of the ionization cross sections. Exact second-order relativistic cross sections are compared with data as obtained from a relativistic long-wavelength approximation as well as from the scaling of non-relativistic results. For high-Z ions, the relativistic wavefunction contraction may lower the two-photon ionization cross sections by a factor of two or more, while retardation effects appear less pronounced but still give rise to non-negligible contributions.

description: The Hopf fibration mapping circles on a 3-sphere to points on a 2-sphere is well known to topologists. While the 2-sphere is embedded in 3-space, four-dimensional Euclidean space is needed to visualize the 3-sphere. Visualizing objects in 4-space using computer graphics based on their analytical representations has become popular in recent decades. For purely synthetic constructions, we apply the recently introduced method of visualization of 4-space by its double orthogonal projection onto two mutually perpendicular 3-spaces to investigate the Hopf fibration as a four-dimensional relation without analogy in lower dimensions. In this paper, the method of double orthogonal projection is used for a direct synthetic construction of the fibers of a 3-sphere from the corresponding points on a 2-sphere. The fibers of great circles on the 2-sphere create nested tori visualized in a stereographic projection onto the modeling 3-space. The step-by-step construction is supplemented by dynamic three-dimensional models showing simultaneously the 3-sphere, 2-sphere, and stereographic images of the fibers and mutual interrelations. Each step of the synthetic construction is supported by its analytical representation to highlight connections between the two interpretations.

description: This paper develops an equilibrium sorting model with utility maximizing agents (researchers) on one side of the market, and on the other side institutions (universities) and an outside sector. Researchers are assumed to care about peer effects, their relative status within universities, and salary compensation. They differ in their concern for salary compensation as well as in their ability. We derive the unique stable equilibrium allocation of researchers and investigate the effects on the academic sector of changes in the outside option as well as the interaction between the outside option and the researchers' concern for relative status. In any equilibrium, the right hand side of the ability distribution is allocated to the academic sector, while the left hand side of the ability distribution is allocated to the outside sector, with possible overlap between sectors and within the academic sector. The universities' qualities are determined endogenously, and we show that an increase in the value of the outside option decreases the difference in quality between the higher and lower ranked universities. Furthermore, differences in average salaries between the institutions arise endogenously.

description: Recommender systems today have become an essential component of any commercial website. Collaborative filtering approaches, and Matrix Factorization (MF) techniques in particular, are widely used in recommender systems. However, the natural data sparsity problem limits their performance where users generally interact with very few items in the system. Consequently, multiple hybrid models were proposed recently to optimize MF performance by incorporating additional contextual information in its learning process. Although these models improve the recommendation quality, there are two primary aspects for further improvements: (1) multiple models focus only on some portion of the available contextual information and neglect other portions; (2) learning the feature space of the side contextual information needs to be further enhanced. In this paper, we introduce a Collaborative Dual Attentive Autoencoder (CATA++) for recommending scientific articles. CATA++ utilizes an article's content and learns its latent space via two parallel autoencoders. We employ the attention mechanism to capture the most related parts of information in order to make more relevant recommendations. Extensive experiments on three real-world datasets have shown that our dual-way learning strategy has significantly improved the MF performance in comparison with other state-of-the-art MF-based models using various experimental evaluations.

description: Fear of emotion, or the fear of loss of control or of physical harm in response to the experience of an emotion, may interfere with adaptive emotional functioning and has been implicated in the development and maintenance of numerous psychological disorders. The present study investigated the associations between one's implicit beliefs of emotion, judgments of self-efficacy of emotion regulation, acceptance of internal experiences, and tear of emotion. Specifically, I proposed that entity theories of emotion would be associated with heightened fear of emotion, and that personal self-efficacy beliefs would act as a mediator between these two variables. Further. I predicted that an individual's acceptance of internal experiences would moderate the relationship between implicit beliefs and fear of emotion. Results supported acceptance as a moderator but did not provide clear evidence supportive of mediation by emotion regulation self-efficacy. Further research directions and clinical implications of this work are discussed.

description: Supersymmetric (SUSY) grand unified theories (GUTs) appear to be best motivated for understanding strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions of nature. We briefly review emergence of new formulas for running fermion masses valid in direct breaking of GUTs. High scale mixing unification of quark and neutrino mixings and existence of theorems on vanishing theoretical uncertainties in GUT predictions are discussed. D-Parity properties of SO(10) representations leading to large number of intermediate breaking models are pointed out. Unification predictions of SUSY SO(10) in the light of neutrino mass, lepton flavor violation, baryogenesis via leptogenesis within gravitino constraint, and proton decay are noted. We further discuss realisation of flavour unification and possibility of fitting all fermion masses through R-Parity and D-Parity conserving left-right symmetric intermediate breaking in SUSY SO(10)$\times S_4$. In the absence of SUSY two interesting possibilities of minimal grand desert modifications with only one intermediate mass scalar in each case and their applications to dark matter decay through type-I seesaw are briefly noted. Heavy scalar triplet decay leptogenesis through new ansatz for type-II seesaw dominance in non-SUSY SO(10), emergence of new CP asymmetry formulas and model capabilities to explain WIMP dark matter, vacuum stability of the scalar potential and experimentally observed limit on proton lifetime are briefly summarized.

The microstructure and composition of the spiral carbon nanofibers were examined by the powder x-ray diffractometer and transmission electron microscope. The conductivity of the mat in the temperature range from 14 to 250 K could be described by the form of exp[-(T-1/4)]. The thermopower shows a remarkably linear behavior down to 40 K, reminiscent of some conducting polymers. The sign change of the thermopower suggests there exists more than one type of charge carrier, which could be ascribed to the different types of nanotube with various sizes of radius. The transport behavior of spiral carbon nanofibers containing Pd metal clusters will be discussed in the framework of the heterogeneous model.

description: We develop an equilibrium model of wages and estimate it using administrative data from Norway. Coworkers interact through a task­assignment model, and wages are de- termined through multi­lateral bargaining over the surplus that accrues to the workforce. Seniority affects wages through workplace output and relative bargaining power. These channels are separately identified by imposing equilibrium restrictions on data observing all workers within workplaces. We find joint production is important. Seniority affects bargaining power but is unproductive. We reinterpret gender and firm-­size effects in wages in light of the rejection of linearly separable production.

description: In the topological phase of spin-orbit coupled nanowires Majorana bound states are known to localize at the nanowire edges and to exhibit a spin density orthogonal to both the magnetic field and the spin-orbit field. By investigating a nanowire exposed to a uniform magnetic field with an interface between regions with different spin-orbit couplings, we find that the orthogonal spin density is pinned at the interface even when both interface sides are in the topologically trivial phase, and even when no bound state is present at all. A trivial bound state may additionally appear at the interface, especially if the spin-orbit coupling takes opposite signs across the interface. However, it can be destroyed by a smoothening of the spin-orbit profile or by a magnetic field component parallel to the spin-orbit field. In contrast, the orthogonal spin density persists in various and realistic parameter ranges. We also show that, while the measurement of bulk equilibrium spin currents has been elusive so far, such robust orthogonal spin density peak may provide a way to detect spin current variations across interfaces.

description: This paper provides a step-by-step guide to estimating discrete choice dynamic programming (DDP) models using the Bayesian Dynamic Programming algorithm developed in Imai, Jain and Ching (2008) (IJC). The IJC method combines the DDP solution algorithm with the Bayesian Markov Chain Monte Carlo algorithm into a single algorithm, which solves the DDP model and estimates its structural parameters simultaneously. The main computational advantage of this estimation algorithm is the efficient use of information obtained from the past iterations. In the conventional Nested Fixed Point algorithm, most of the information obtained in the past iterations remains unused in the current iteration. In contrast, the Bayesian Dynamic Programming algorithm extensively uses the computational results obtained from the past iterations to help solving the DDP model at the current iterated parameter values. Consequently, it significantly alleviates the computational burden of estimating a DDP model. We carefully discuss how to implement the algorithm in practice, and use a simple dynamic store choice model to illustrate how to apply this algorithm to obtain parameter estimates.

description: We examine the impact of mandatory retirement on the retirement decisions of professors in Canada using administrative data. Estimation of a discrete time hazard model indicates that faculty members at universities with mandatory retirement at age 65 have exit rates at age 65 that are around 30 to 38 percentage points higher than those of their counterparts at universities without mandatory retirement. Similar results are found for both men and women; however, the magnitude of this effect is somewhat smaller for women. The estimated survival probabilities indicate that only 22.7 percent of faculty members employed at age 64 at universities without mandatory retirement will continue to be employed at the same university at age 72.

description: Interstellar aromatic molecules such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polycyclic nitrogen and oxygen bearing molecules are thought to be abundant in the interstellar medium. In this class of molecules, benzonitrile ($c$-C$_6$H$_5$CN) plays an important role as a proxy for benzene. It has been detected through rotational emission in several astrophysical sources and is one of the simplest N-bearing polar aromatic molecules. Even in the cold ISM, the population of the rotational levels of benzonitrile might not be at equilibrium. Consequently, modeling its detected emission lines requires a prior computation of its quenching rate coefficients by the most abundant species in the ISM (He or H$_2$). In this paper, we focus on the excitation of c-C$_6$H$_5$CN by collision with He. We compute the first potential energy surface (PES) using the explicitly correlated coupled cluster method in conjunction with large basis sets. The PES obtained is characterized by a potential well depth of -97.2 cm$^{-1}$ and an important anisotropy. Scattering computations of the rotational (de-)excitation of c-C$_6$H$_5$CN by He atoms are performed by means of the coupled states approximation that allow to obtain collisional rates for rotational states up to $j$ = 9 and temperatures up to 40 K. These rate coefficients are then used to examine the effect of C$_6$H$_5$CN excitation induced by collisions with para-H$_2$ in molecular clouds by carrying out simple radiative transfer calculations of the excitation temperatures and show that non-equilibrium effects can be expected for H$_2$ densities up to 10$^5$-10$^6$ cm$^{-3}$.

It is argued that the Taoist view of the world, as pursued by Schrodinger, although characterized by the dialectical struggle between opposite truths does not contain the temporal dimension, the unique which allows an evolving understanding of phenomena and objects that compose this world in constant evolution. In our point of view, only a genetic view - which is missing in the actual scientific paradigm - will bring a more deep explanation and understanding of Reality.

description: The Himalayan Rivers have an enormous hydropower potential that is still not exploited fully for the benefit of the region. Bhutan and Nepal together have an economically feasible potential of 60,000 MW of hydroelectric power generation capacity but are too weak financially to bear alone the risks associated with the development of their hydro resources. India is the only potential market for the electricity supplied from these sources. The power purchase agreement framework for the 336 MW Chukha Hydel Project in Bhutan could serve as a model with regards to the transfer of risks, management of risks, and sourcing of finance in exchange for the sharing of the economic rents associated with such projects. India undertook the costs and risks of constructing the hydroelectric dam and power plant in exchange for a reduced purchase price of electricity from the completed facility. This paper contains a financial and economic assessment of the Chukha Hydel Project. While India is in a position to exercise monopsonic power in this electricity market, this analysis shows that it is possible to have an agreement for sharing of the risks and returns between India and the Himalayan countries that is highly beneficial to all the stakeholders.

description: William Wordsworth's The Prelude includes instances of sympathy for and elevating of the underclass, demonstrating recognition and endorsement of a concept of class based on intrinsic values and in which the class hierarchy is unfixed. The poem also includes instances that undermine that sympathy and demonstrate recognition of a traditional concept of class in which the class hierarchy is fixed. In demonstrating this ambivalence, I want to address uncertainty over the poet's views and to refute a common misperception that the poet changed his approach to class from progressive to conservative over time. Also, demonstrating the reasons behind the ambivalence challenges misinterpretations of the poet, which portray him as only altruistically championing an internal concept of class and the underclass and as suffering from a psychological disorder. In addition, demonstrating the poet's ambivalence about class is aimed at increasing scholarly recognition of the work's cultural context.

description: In the current study, we investigated the role of PAK1 (P21 (RAC1) Activated Kinase 1) gene in breast cancer and to this end, we performed differential gene expression analysis of PAK1 in breast cancer tissues compared to the normal adjacent tissue. We also studied its significance in protein-protein interaction (PPI) network, and analysed biological pathways, cellular processes, and role of PAK1 in different diseases. We found PAK1 to have significant role in breast cancer pathways such as integrin signaling, axonal guidance signaling, signaling by Rho family GTPases, ERK5 signaling. Additionally, it has been found as hub gene in PPI network, suggesting its possible regulatory role in breast carcinogenesis. Moreover, PAK1 had role in progression of various diseases as neoplasia, tumorigenesis, lymphatic neoplasia. Thereby, PAK1 can be used as a therapeutic target in breast cancer. Further, we put our efforts in identification of potential small molecules inhibitors against PAK1 by developing a composite virtual screening protocol involving molecular dynamics (MD) and molecular docking. The chemical library of compounds from NCI diversity sets, Pubchem and eMolecules were screened against PAK1 protein and hits which showed good binding affinity were considered for MD simulation study. Moreover, to assess binding of selected hits, MMGBSA (Molecular Mechanics-Generalized Born Surface Area) analysis was performed using AMBER (Assisted Model Building with Energy Refinement) package. MMGBSA calculations exhibited that the identified ligands showed good binding affinity with PAK1.

description: Main arguments on the Dark Matter particle direct detection approach are addressed on the basis of the work and of the results of the about 100 kg highly radiopure NaI(Tl) DAMA experiment (DAMA/NaI), which has been operative at the Gran Sasso National Laboratory of the I.N.F.N. for more than one decade, including the preparation. The effectiveness of the WIMP model independent annual modulation signature is pointed out by discussing the results obtained over 7 annual cycles (107731 kg day total exposure); the WIMP presence in the galactic halo is strongly supported at 6.3 standard deviation C.L. The complexity of the corollary model dependent quests for a candidate particle is also addressed and several of the many possible scenarios are examined.

Healing resources and rebuilding lives: A missed opportunity in Bosnia and Herzegovina?

Subjects: classificationCode: 44
subject: Human society

description: Stories of people who experienced violent conflict rarely make the big news but they are rich resources and guides for peacebuilding and development interventions. This qualitative study, through loosely structured interviews, explores sources of healing of Bosnian people who lived in Sarajevo at the time of the conflict and who now live in the US. An opportunity was missed to get the local population engaged in the process of transformation of the society. Providing targeted and tailored psychosocial support not only to the most affected groups but to the entire population, as well as close coordination and linkages between peacebuilding and development practitioners and organizations is likely to greatly improve outcomes of post-conflict reconstruction. Further research the impact of such coordination and efforts to heal, empower and engage the local population is necessary to reveal best practices and success stories and to convince donors of their importance.

description: The electromagnetic shields in the form of two-layer structures, the surface layer of which was the composite material with filler based on powdered titanium dioxide, and the inner one was the composite material with filler based on iron oxide, have been developed. The electromagnetic radiation reflection and transmission characteristics of the developed shields have been studied in the frequency range 0.7-142.8 GHz depending on the content of their inner layers. It has been found that electromagnetic radiation reflection and transmission coefficient values in the frequency range 0.7-142.8 GHz of the developed shields are –4.0…–27.0 dB and –10.0…–40.0 dB respectively. It has been experimentally proved that by impregnating by the calcium chloride aqueous solution of the powdered material that is part of the inner layer of such shields, it is possible to reduce by 5.0...45.0 dB of their electromagnetic radiation transmission coefficient values in the frequency range 2.0...26.0 GHz.

description: The purpose of this study is to develop a model to arrive at a joint optimizing strategy for the use of a given capital budget for the construction of new school buildings and for the repair of the already existing schools. This is to be done in a way that will have the maximum positive impact on the enhancement of the education system. Cost effectiveness analysis is used as the main analytical tool in the analysis. A key factor of the model is that it gives one the optimal mix of repair versus new construction that should be undertaken under a fixed budget constraint. The model is simulated using a sample data set from the information available for the education sector of Limpopo Province, South Africa. It utilizes a very basic set of information that is available in all school districts across the province. Application of this model for the selection of infrastructure investments (either building or repair) in the education sector would increase the efficiency of capital expenditure in this sector. This is particularly the case for the countries that are faced with a large excess demand for school buildings.
