description: We present a follow-up study on our unified visuomotor neural model for the robotic tasks of identifying, localizing, and grasping a target object in a scene with multiple objects. Our Retinanet-based model enables end-to-end training of visuomotor abilities in a biologically inspired developmental approach. In our initial implementation, a neural model was able to grasp selected objects from a planar surface. We embodied the model on the NICO humanoid robot. In this follow-up study, we expand the task and the model to reaching for objects in a three-dimensional space with a novel dataset based on augmented reality and a simulation environment. We evaluate the influence of training with auxiliary tasks, i.e., if learning of the primary visuomotor task is supported by learning to classify and locate different objects. We show that the proposed visuomotor model can learn to reach for objects in a three-dimensional space. We analyze the results for biologically-plausible biases based on object locations or properties. We show that the primary visuomotor task can be successfully trained simultaneously with one of the two auxiliary tasks. This is enabled by a complex neurocognitive model with shared and task-specific components, similar to models found in biological systems.

description: In 3D nematic liquid crystals, disclination lines have a range of geometric structures. Locally, they may resemble $+1/2$ or $-1/2$ defects in 2D nematic phases, or they may have 3D twist. Here, we analyze the structure in terms of the director deformation modes around the disclination, as well as the nematic order tensor inside the disclination core. Based on this analysis, we construct a vector to represent the orientation of the disclination, as well as tensors to represent higher-order structure. We apply this method to simulations of a 3D disclination arch, and determine how the structure changes along the contour length. We then use this geometric analysis to investigate three types of forces acting on a disclination: Peach-Koehler forces due to external stress, interaction forces between disclination lines, and active forces. These results apply to the motion of disclination lines in both conventional and active liquid crystals.

description: Gaseous inflows are necessary suppliers of galaxies' star-forming fuel, but are difficult to characterize at the survey scale. We use integral-field spectroscopic measurements of gas-phase metallicity and single-dish radio measurements of total atomic gas mass to estimate the magnitude and frequency of gaseous inflows incident on star-forming galaxies. We reveal a mutual correlation between steep oxygen abundance profiles between $0.25-1.5 R_e$, increased variability of metallicity between $1.25-1.75 R_e$, and elevated HI content at fixed total galaxy stellar mass. Employing a simple but intuitive inflow model, we find that galaxies with total stellar mass less than $10^{10.1} {\rm M_{\odot}}$ have local oxygen abundance profiles consistent with reinvigoration by inflows. Approximately 10-25\% of low-mass galaxies possess signatures of recent accretion, with estimated typical enhancements of approximately 10-90\% in local gas mass surface density. Higher-mass galaxies have limited evidence for such inflows. The large diversity of HI mass implies that inflow-associated gas ought to reside far from the star-forming disk. We therefore propose that a combination of high HI mass, steep metallicity profile between $0.25-1.5 R_e$, and wide metallicity distribution function between $1.25 - 1.75 R_e$ be employed to target possible hosts of inflowing gas for high-resolution radio follow-up.
Consuming loyalty: marketing technology and relationships in the consumer society
Creators: name: Fuller, Brian
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The field of marketing is currently undergoing a reconceptualization, largely influenced by new computer and communication technologies. The shift to more high-tech ways of knowing is linked to a new discourse on customer loyalty, relationship management, and customer-specific marketing. Customers are increasingly viewed not as elements in a mass market or market niche, but as individuals with their own important patterns of consumption. The technologies and rationality of customer loyalty are investigated through a study of the Air Miles loyalty program and the relationship marketing literature. The 'promise' of new marketing technologies is analyzed as a means of surveillance, and as an instrument for the accelerated commodification of society.
High Resolution Submillimeter Constraints on Circumstellar Disk Structure
Creators: name: Andrews, Sean M.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present a high spatial resolution submillimeter continuum survey of 24 circumstellar disks in the Tau-Aur and Oph-Sco star formation regions using the SMA. In the context of a simple model, we use broadband SEDs and submillimeter visibilities to derive constraints on some basic parameters that describe the structure of these disks. For the typical disk in the sample we infer a radial surface density distribution Σ~ r^-p with a median p ~ 0.5, although consideration of the systematic effects of some of our assumptions suggest that steeper distributions with p ~ 0.7-1.0 are more reasonable. The distribution of the outer radii of these disks shows a distinct peak at R_d = 200 AU, with only a few cases where the disk emission is completely unresolved. Based on these disk structure measurements, the mass accretion rates, and the typical spectral and spatial distributions of submillimeter emission, we show that the observations are in good agreement with similarity solutions for steady accretion disks that have a viscosity parameter alpha ~ 0.01. We provide new estimates of the spectral dependence of the disk opacity with a median spectral index of ~0.7, corrected for optically thick emission. This typical value is consistent with model predictions for the collisional growth of solids to millimeter size scales in the outer disk. Although direct constraints on planet formation in these disks are not currently available, the extrapolated density distributions inferred here are substantially shallower than those calculated based on the solar system or extrasolar planets and typically used in planet formation models. It is possible that we are substantially underestimating disk densities due to an incomplete submillimeter opacity prescription.

Non-adiabatic turbulence driving during gravitational collapse

description: We investigate the generation of turbulence during the prestellar gravitational contraction of a turbulent spherical core. We define the ratio $g$ of the one-dimensional turbulent velocity dispersion, $σ_\mathrm{1D}$ to the gravitational velocity $v_g$, to then analytically estimate $g$ under the assumptions of a) equipartition or virial equilibrium between the gravitational ($E_g$) and turbulent kinetic ($E_\mathrm{turb}$) energies and b) stationarity of transfer from gravitational to turbulent energy (implying $E_\mathrm{turb}/E_g=$cst). In the equipartition and virial cases, we find $g=\sqrt{1/3}\approx0.58$ and $g=\sqrt{1/6}\approx0.41$, respectively; in the stationary case we find $g=\langle v_\mathrm{rad}\rangle L_d/(4π\sqrt{3}ηRv_g)$, where $η$ is an efficiency factor, $L_d$ is the energy injection scale of the turbulence, and $R$ is the core's radius. Next, we perform AMR simulations of the prestellar collapse of an isothermal, transonic turbulent core at two different resolutions, and a non-turbulent control simulation. We find that the turbulent simulations collapse at the same rate as the non-turbulent one, so that the turbulence generation does not significantly slow down the collapse. We also find that a) the simulations approach near balance between the rates of energy injection from the collapse and of turbulence dissipation; b) $g\approx0.395\pm0.035$, close to the "virial" value (turbulence is $\sim35-40\%$ of non-thermal linewidth); c) the injection scale is $L_d\lesssim R$, and d) the "turbulent pressure" $ρσ_\mathrm{1D}^2$ scales as $\simρ^{1.64}$, an apparently nearly-adiabatic scaling. We propose that this scaling and the nearly virial values of the turbulent velocity dispersion may be reconciled with the non-delayed collapse rate if the turbulence is dissipated as soon as it is generated.

description: In ionic Raman scattering, infrared-active phonons mediate a scattering process that results in the creation or destruction of a Raman-active phonon. This mechanism relies on nonlinear interactions between phonons and has in recent years been associated with a variety of emergent lattice-driven phenomena in complex transition-metal oxides, but the underlying mechanism is often obscured by the presence of multiple coupled order parameters in play. Here, we use time-resolved spectroscopy to compare coherent phonons generated by ionic Raman scattering with those created by more conventional electronic Raman scattering on the nonmagnetic and non-strongly-correlated wide band-gap insulator LaAlO$_3$. We find that the oscillatory amplitude of the low-frequency Raman-active $E_g$ mode exhibits a sharp peak when we tune our pump frequency into resonance with the high-frequency infrared-active $E_u$ mode, consistent with first-principles calculations. Our results suggest that ionic Raman scattering can strongly dominate electronic Raman scattering in wide band-gap insulating materials. We also see evidence of competing scattering channels at fluences above 28~mJ/cm$^2$ that alter the measured amplitude of the coherent phonon response.

description: Quantum chemistry has been viewed as one of the potential early applications of quantum computing. Two techniques have been proposed for electronic structure calculations: (i) the variational quantum eigensolver and (ii) the phase-estimation algorithm. In both cases, the complexity of the problem increases for basis sets where either the Hamiltonian is not sparse, or it is sparse, but many orbitals are required to accurately describe the molecule of interest. In this work, we explore the possibility of mapping the molecular problem onto a sparse Hubbard-like Hamiltonian, which allows a Green's-function-based approach to electronic structure via a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm. We illustrate the time-evolution aspect of this methodology with a simple four-site hydrogen ring.

The deducted thermal load and the TMI-threshold of a commercial LMA fiber with 25 micron core and 400 micron cladding was measured at various seed wavelengths. By matching these results with detailed simulations we show that photodarkening has a negligible impact on the thermal load and, therefore, on the TMI threshold in this fiber.

description: In a time-of-arrival (TOA) or pseudorange based positioning system, user location is obtained by observing multiple anchor nodes (AN) at known positions. Utilizing more than one positioning systems, e.g., combining Global Positioning System (GPS) and BeiDou Navigation Satellite System (BDS), brings better positioning accuracy. However, ANs from two systems are usually synchronized to two different clock sources. Different from single-system localization, an extra user-to-system clock offset needs to be handled. Existing dual-system methods either have high computational complexity or sub-optimal positioning accuracy. In this paper, we propose a new closed-form dual-system localization (CDL) approach that has low complexity and optimal localization accuracy. We first convert the nonlinear problem into a linear one by squaring the distance equations and employing intermediate variables. Then, a weighted least squares (WLS) method is used to optimize the positioning accuracy. We prove that the positioning error of the new method reaches Cramer-Rao Lower Bound (CRLB) in far field conditions with small measurement noise. Simulations on 2D and 3D positioning scenes are conducted. Results show that, compared with the iterative approach, which has high complexity and requires a good initialization, the new CDL method does not require initialization and has lower computational complexity with comparable positioning accuracy. Numerical results verify the theoretical analysis on positioning accuracy, and show that the new CDL method has superior performance over the state-of-the-art closed-form method. Experiments using real GPS and BDS data verify the applicability of the new CDL method and the superiority of its performance in the real world.

Executive summary

This reports describes the sensitivity studies undertaken with the two NextGEMS ocean models ICON-O and FESOM (for IFS) and two mixed layer parameterizations. Both groups decided to move forward with the Turbulent Kinetic Energy (TKE) scheme with parameter settings that are different from the original formulation (for ICON-O: ck = 0.1 instead of ck = 0.2).

Conclusion & Results

We investigated two different mixed layer schemes, each one of which is implemented in both models, and modified various parameters in these schemes. We find that both schemes, in all parameter combinations underestimate the mixed layer depth in the tropical Atlantic. However, the differences between the two ML models is smaller than the difference created by using different bulk flux formulae, so it was decided to use the TKE scheme, because it is deemed to be more easy to connect to other model physics than the competing K-Profile Parameterization (KPP) scheme. In particular the parameterization for abyssal turbulence (IDEMIX), which will be included in the models in the near future, is TKE based.
Investigation of the dynamics of inner gas during bursting of a bubble at the free surface

description: In the present study, simulations are directed to capture the dynamics of evacuating inner gas of a bubble bursting at the free surface, using Eulerian based volume of fluid (VOF) method. The rate by which surrounding air rushing inside the bubble cavity through the inner gas evacuation is estimated and compared by the collapsing bubble cavity during the sequential stages of the bubble bursting at the free surface. Further, the reachability of inner gas over the free surface is evaluated by establishing the comparison of the same through various horizontal planes, lying at different altitudes above the unperturbed surface. The evacuating inner gas accompanies vortex rings, which entrains the surrounding gas-phase. During the successive stages of air entrainment, spatiotemporal characteristics of the vortex ring are obtained. At low Bond numbers (< 1), after comparing the phase contours of evacuating inner gas from the bubble cavity, the consequences at the axial growth of gas jet and the radial expansion of the jet tip is discussed separately. Furthermore, under the respiration process, the axial growth of rising inner gas over the free surface and the radial expansion of vortex rings of a bubble bursting at the free surface is compared with the quiescent surrounding air. At last, the effects of various possible asymmetric perforation of the bubble cap keeping the same Bo are studied. The cause of bent gas jet, as a consequence of perforation of the bubble cap, asymmetrically, is explained by plotting the velocity vectors.

description: Coherent states are normally used to describe the state of a laser field in experiments that generate and detect squeezed states of light. Nevertheless, since the laser field absolute phase is unknown, its quantum state can be described by a statistical mixture of coherent states with random phases, which is equivalent to a statistical mixture of Fock states. Here we describe single-mode squeezed vacuum experiments using this mixed quantum state for the laser field. Representing the laser state in the Fock basis, we predict the usual experimental results without using the squeezing concept in the analysis and concluding that no squeezed state is generated in the experiments. We provide a general physical explanation for the noise reduction in the experiments in terms of a better definition of the relative phase between the signal and local oscillator fields. This explanation is valid in any description of the laser field (in terms of coherent or Fock states), thus providing a deeper understanding of the phenomenon.

description: We report on interferometric imaging of the CO J=1--0 and J=3--2 line emission from the controversial QSO/galaxy pair HE 0450--2958. {\it The detected CO J=1--0 line emission is found associated with the disturbed companion galaxy not the luminous QSO,} and implies $\rm M_{gal}(H_2)\sim (1-2)\times 10^{10} M_{\odot}$, which is $\ga 30% $ of the dynamical mass in its CO-luminous region. Fueled by this large gas reservoir this galaxy is the site of an intense starburst with $\rm SFR\sim 370 M_{\odot} yr^{-1}$, placing it firmly on the upper gas-rich/star-forming end of Ultra Luminous Infrared Galaxies (ULIRGs, $\rm L_{IR}>10^{12} L_{\odot}$). This makes HE 0450--2958 the first case of extreme starburst and powerful QSO activity, intimately linked (triggered by a strong interaction) but not coincident. The lack of CO emission towards the QSO itself renews the controversy regarding its host galaxy by making a gas-rich spiral (the typical host of Narrow Line Seyfert~1 AGNs) less likely. Finally, given that HE 0450--2958 and similar IR-warm QSOs are considered typical ULIRG$\to $(optically bright QSO) transition candidates, our results raise the possibility that some may simply be {\it gas-rich/gas-poor (e.g. spiral/elliptical) galaxy interactions} which ``activate'' an optically bright unobscured QSO in the gas-poor galaxy, and a starburst in the gas-rich one. We argue that such interactions may have gone largely unnoticed even in the local Universe because the combination of tools necessary to disentagle the progenitors (high resolution and S/N optical {\it and} CO imaging) became available only recently.

description: In 1986, the Kentucky General Assembly established the Extended Weight Coal and Coal By-Products Haul Road System. This system includes approximately 3,200 miles of the most significant coal-haul roads in the state and permits coal trucks to carry much larger payloads than trucks with other commodities. In many ways, the extended-weight system has been very successful. Coal-transportation productivity has been substantially increased, and Kentucky coal continues to remain competitive in the marketplace. At the same time, infrastructure costs have risen substantially--to considerably greater levels than the increase in revenue produced by the requisite coal decal fees--and the extended-weight system has proven to be difficult to manage. Moreover, there is a fundamental inequity in the preferential treatment that has been extended to coal haulers and to the specific regions in which they travel.  In pursuit of its goal of providing the best possible transportation system to all citizens of the Commonwealth and its recognition of the key influence of transportation productivity on the national and international competitiveness of Kentucky industry, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet recently initiated an evaluation of the extended-weight system and an identification of ways in which the extended-weight system might evolve into a comprehensive trucking network that would effectively serve the entire Commonwealth. Key considerations in forming future alternatives included the necessity for 1) limited mileage in order to contain costs; 2) permanency to promote efficient management; 3) more lenient weight limits for commodities other than coal; 4) statewide service; and 5) a connected, continuous trucking network.

This apparently involved approximately the top 118 inch of the slab.  Nine cores were delivered to our laboratories. They were obtained at the locations shown in the floor map included in Appendix A. Those nine cores are shown in Figure No. 1, which also illustrates their relative thicknesses.
REEEM-D1.3b_Policy Brief - A research and policy agenda for the transition to a low-carbon, competitive and secure EU society
Creators: name: REEEM Project
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: This Policy Brief synthesizes the messages and policy insights of the REEEM project. It is based on the impact assessment of three deep decarbonisation pathways co-designed with stakeholders: Coalitions for a Low-carbon path, Local solutions and Paris Agreement. For these, it highlights often hidden challenges and opportunities of decarbonisation, which emerge when considering the connections between sectors and the cascade effects between scales. Those scales range from EU-wide, to regional, national and local. Recommendations are provided to policy makers to exploit the opportunities and minimise the challenges. A set of tools is presented to facilitate engagement.

description: We critically examine the ability of future neutrino telescopes, including Baikal-GVD, KM3NeT, P-ONE, TAMBO, and IceCube-Gen2, to determine the flavor composition of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos, ie, the relative number of $ν_e$, $ν_μ$, and $ν_τ$, in light of improving measurements of the neutrino mixing parameters. Starting in 2020, we show how measurements by JUNO, DUNE, and Hyper-Kamiokande will affect our ability to determine the regions of flavor composition at Earth that are allowed by neutrino oscillations under different assumptions of the flavor composition that is emitted by the astrophysical sources. From 2020 to 2040, the error on inferring the flavor composition at the source will improve from $> 40\%$ to less than $6\%$. By 2040, under the assumption that pion decay is the principal production mechanism of high-energy astrophysical neutrinos, a sub-dominant mechanism could be constrained to contribute less than 20\% of the flux at 99.7\% credibility. These conclusions are robust in the nonstandard scenario where neutrino mixing is non-unitary, a scenario that is the target of next-generation experiments, in particular the IceCube-Upgrade. Finally, to illustrate the improvement in using flavor composition to test beyond-the-Standard-Model physics, we examine the possibility of neutrino decay and find that, by 2040, combined neutrino telescope measurements will be able to limit the decay rate of the heavier neutrinos to below $1.8\times 10^{-5} (m/\mathrm{eV})$~s$^{-1}$, at 95\% credibility.

description: Recent investigations highlight the possibility of electroreception within arthropods through charged mechanosensory hairs. This discovery raises questions about the influence of electrostatic interaction between hairs and surrounding electrical fields within this sensory modality. Here, we investigate these questions by studying electrostatic coupling in arrays of hairs. We establish the notion of sensitivity contours that indicate regions within which point charges deflect hairs beyond a given threshold. We then examine how the contour’s shape and size and the overall hair behaviour change in response to variations in the coupling between hairs. This investigation unveils synergistic behaviours whereby the sensitivity of hairs is enhanced or inhibited by neighbouring hairs. The hair spacing and ratio of a system’s electrical parameters to its mechanical parameters influence this behaviour. Our results indicate that electrostatic interaction between hairs leads to emergent sensory properties for biologically relevant parameter values. The analysis raises new questions around the impact of electrostatic interaction on the current understanding of sensory hair processes, such as acoustic sensing, unveiling new sensory capabilities within electroreception such as amplification of hair sensitivity and location-detection of charges in the environment.

description: We present a meshfree numerical solver for scalar conservation laws in one space dimension. Points representing the solution are moved according to their characteristic velocities. Particle interaction is resolved by purely local particle management. Since no global remeshing is required, shocks stay sharp and propagate at the correct speed, while rarefaction waves are created where appropriate. The method is TVD, entropy decreasing, exactly conservative, and has no numerical dissipation. Difficulties involving transonic points do not occur, however inflection points of the flux function pose a slight challenge, which can be overcome by a special treatment. Away from shocks the method is second order accurate, while shocks are resolved with first order accuracy. A postprocessing step can recover the second order accuracy. The method is compared to CLAWPACK in test cases and is found to yield an increase in accuracy for comparable resolutions.

Trusting records: the evolution of legal, historical, and diplomatic methods of assessing the trustworthiness of records from antiquity to the digital age
Creators: name: MacNeil, Heather Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: A trustworthy record is one that is both an accurate statement of facts and a genuine manifestation of those facts. Record trustworthiness thus has two qualitative dimensions: reliability and authenticity. Reliability means that the record is capable of standing for the facts to which it attests, while authenticity means that the record is what it claims to be. The trustworthiness of records as evidence is of particular interest to legal and historical practitioners who need to ensure that records are trustworthy so that justice may be realized or the past understood. Traditionally, the disciplines of law and history have relied on the guarantee of trustworthiness inherent in the circumstances surrounding the creation and maintenance of records. For records created by bureaucracies, that trustworthiness has been ensured and protected through the mechanisms of authority and delegation, and through procedural controls exercised over record-writers and record-keepers. As bureaucracies rely increasingly on new information and communication technologies to create and maintain their records, the question that presents itself is whether these traditional mechanisms and controls are adequate to the task of verifying the degree of reliability and authenticity of electronic records, whose most salient feature is the ease with which they can be invisibly altered and manipulated. This study explores the evolution of means of assessing the trustworthiness of records as evidence from antiquity to the digital age, and from the perspectives of law and history; and examines recent efforts undertaken by researchers in the field of archival science to develop methods for ensuring the trustworthiness of electronic records specifically, based on a contemporary adaptation of diplomatics. Diplomatics emerged in the seventeenth century as a body of concepts and principles for determining the authenticity of medieval documents. The exploration reveals the extent to which legal, historical, and diplomatic methods operate within a framework of inferences, generalizations and probabilities; the degree to which those methods are rooted in observational principles; and the continuing validity of a best evidence principle for assessing record trustworthiness. The study concludes that, while the technological means of assessing and ensuring record trustworthiness have changed fundamentally over time, the underlying principles have remained remarkably consistent.
