description: With the increasing demand for openness, flexibility, and monetization the Network Function Virtualization (NFV) of mobile network functions has become the embracing factor for most mobile network operators. Early reported field deployments of virtualized Evolved Packet Core (EPC) - the core network component of 4G LTE and 5G non-standalone mobile networks - reflect this growing trend. To best meet the requirements of power management, load balancing, and fault tolerance in the cloud environment, the need for live migration for these virtualized components cannot be shunned. Virtualization platforms of interest include both Virtual Machines (VMs) and Containers, with the latter option offering more lightweight characteristics. The first contribution of this paper is the implementation of a number of custom functions that enable migration of Containers supporting virtualized EPC components. The current CRIU-based migration of Docker Container does not fully support the mobile network protocol stack. CRIU extensions to support the mobile network protocol stack are therefore required and described in the paper. The second contribution is an experimental-based comprehensive analysis of live migration in two backhaul network settings and two virtualization technologies. The two backhaul network settings are the one provided by CloudLab and one based on a programmable optical network testbed that makes use of OpenROADM dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) equipment. The paper compares the migration performance of the proposed implementation of OpenAirInterface (OAI) based containerized EPC components with the one utilizing VMs, running in OpenStack. The presented experimental comparison accounts for a number of system parameters and configurations, image size of the virtualized EPC components, network characteristics, and signal propagation time across the OpenROADM backhaul network.

description: We argue that analysing schemes for metrology solely in terms of the average particle number can obscure the number of particles effectively used in informative events. For a number of states we demonstrate that, in both frequentist and Bayesian frameworks, the average number of a state can essentially be decoupled from the aspects of the total number distribution associated with any metrological advantage.

description: In the present paper we consider countable state $p$-adic Potts model on the Cayley tree. A construction of $p$-adic Gibbs measures which depends on weights $ł$ is given, and an investigation of such measures is reduced to examination of an infinite-dimensional recursion equation. Studying of the derived equation under some condition on weights, we prove absence of the phase transition. Note that the condition does not depend on values of the prime $p$, and an analogues fact is not true when the number of spins is finite. For homogeneous model it is shown that the recursive equation has only one solution under that condition on weights. This means that there is only one $p$-adic Gibbs measure $\m_ł$. The boundedness of the measure is also established. Moreover, continuous dependence the measure $\m_ł$ on $ł$ is proved. At the end we formulate one limit theorem for $\m_ł$.

description: The exotic structures in the 2s_{1/2} states of five pairs of mirror nuclei ^{17}O-^{17}F, ^{26}Na-^{26}P, ^{27}Mg-^{27}P, ^{28}Al-^{28}P and ^{29}Si-^{29}P are investigated with the relativistic mean-field (RMF) theory and the single-particle model (SPM) to explore the role of the Coulomb effects on the proton halo formation. The present RMF calculations show that the exotic structure of the valence proton is more obvious than that of the valence neutron of its mirror nucleus, the difference of exotic size between each mirror nuclei becomes smaller with the increase of mass number A of the mirror nuclei and the ratios of the valence proton and valence neutron root-mean-square (RMS) radius to the matter radius in each pair of mirror nuclei all decrease linearly with the increase of A. In order to interpret these results, we analyze two opposite effects of Coulomb interaction on the exotic structure formation with SPM and find that the contribution of the energy level shift is more important than that of the Coulomb barrier for light nuclei. However, the hindrance of the Coulomb barrier becomes more obvious with the increase of A. When A is larger than 34, Coulomb effects on the exotic structure formation will almost become zero because its two effects counteract with each other.

description: Machine learning models achieve state-of-the-art performance on many supervised learning tasks. However, prior evidence suggests that these models may learn to rely on shortcut biases or spurious correlations (intuitively, correlations that do not hold in the test as they hold in train) for good predictive performance. Such models cannot be trusted in deployment environments to provide accurate predictions. While viewing the problem from a causal lens is known to be useful, the seamless integration of causation techniques into machine learning pipelines remains cumbersome and expensive. In this work, we study and extend a causal pre-training debiasing technique called causal bootstrapping (CB) under five practical confounded-data generation-acquisition scenarios (with known and unknown confounding). Under these settings, we systematically investigate the effect of confounding bias on deep learning model performance, demonstrating their propensity to rely on shortcut biases when these biases are not properly accounted for. We demonstrate that such a causal pre-training technique can significantly outperform existing base practices to mitigate confounding bias on real-world domain generalization benchmarking tasks. This systematic investigation underlines the importance of accounting for the underlying data-generating mechanisms and fortifying data-preprocessing pipelines with a causal framework to develop methods robust to confounding biases.

description: For task-oriented dialog systems, training a Reinforcement Learning (RL) based Dialog Management module suffers from low sample efficiency and slow convergence speed due to the sparse rewards in RL.To solve this problem, many strategies have been proposed to give proper rewards when training RL, but their rewards lack interpretability and cannot accurately estimate the distribution of state-action pairs in real dialogs. In this paper, we propose a multi-level reward modeling approach that factorizes a reward into a three-level hierarchy: domain, act, and slot. Based on inverse adversarial reinforcement learning, our designed reward model can provide more accurate and explainable reward signals for state-action pairs.Extensive evaluations show that our approach can be applied to a wide range of reinforcement learning-based dialog systems and significantly improves both the performance and the speed of convergence.

description: We here present our first attempt to use Globular Clusters as tracers of their parent galaxy's formation history. Globular Cluster Systems of most early-type galaxies feature two peaks in their optical colour distributions. Blue-peak Globular Clusters are generally believed to be old and metal-poor. The ages, metallicities, and the origin of the red-peak Globular Clusters are being debated. We here present our analysis of the ages and metallicities of the red peak Globular Clusters in the Virgo S0 NGC 4570 using deep Ks-band photometry from NTT/SOFI (ESO program ID 079.B-0511) for the red-peak Globular Clusters in combination with HST-ACS archival data to break the age-metallicity degeneracy. We analyze the combined g, z, and Ks spectral energy distribution by comparison with a large grid of GALEV evolutionary synthesis models for star clusters with different ages and metallicities. This analysis reveals a substantial population of intermediate-age (1-3 Gyr) and metal-rich (solar metallicity) Globular Clusters. We discuss their age and metallicity distributions together with information on the parent galaxy from the literature to gain insight into the formation history of this galaxy. Our results prove the power of this approach to reveal the (violent) star formation and chemical enrichment histories of galaxies on the basis of combined optical and near-infrared photometry.

description: Hidden failures present a noticeable impact to the reliability of the United States electrical grid. These hazards are responsible for protective device misoperations and can cause multiple-element contingencies across nearby components, greatly increasing the likelihood of cascading events. This paper provides an in-depth overview of the causes and risks of hidden failures and discusses methods for identifying critical locations where hidden failures could pose a risk of cascading failure, with the ultimate goal being to identify efficient mitigation methods that can prevent their occurrence in protective relays.

We quantitatively evaluate the significant paramagnetic effect in the H-dependence of various quantities, such as low temperature specific heat, Knight shift, magnetization and the flux line lattice (FLL) form factor. The anomalous H-dependence of the FLL form factor observed by the small angle neutron scattering in CeCoIn_5 is attributable to the large paramagnetic contribution.

Canada’s evolution towards dominion status : an analysis of American-Canadian relations, 1919-1924
Creators: name: Lomas, Donna Louise
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The purpose of this study has been to address an imbalance existing in the historiography relating to American-Canadian relations in the period between 1919-1924. Relying primarily on American sources, this study has attempted to argue that the Canadian government had a unique opportunity to inititiate and execute an independent foreign policy by exploiting her position within the British Empire as well as her close relationship with the United States. In contrast to a number of Canadian studies which have argued that the United States impeded Canada's diplomatic growth in the post World War I period, this work maintains that the United States tried to encourage Canada to assume a more autonomous position because it was in America's interest to do so. Canada's similar attitudes with the United States towards the questions of the renewal of the Anglo-Japanese Alliance, Asian immigration and Article Ten in the League of Nations' Covenant convinced the United States that the Canadian government was potentially useful to the American government in helping to protect its international interests in institutions where it was not represented. The evidence presented in this study maintains that it was the Canadian and British governments that were reluctant to carry out the final steps of appointing a separate Canadian representative to Washington in the early 1920s. As a result, Canada lost her opportunity to establish an independent policy because the United States found alternative methods of protecting its international interests.

description: The gravitational field of supermassive black holes is able to strongly bend light rays emitted by nearby sources. When the deflection angle exceeds $π$, gravitational lensing can be analytically approximated by the so-called strong deflection limit. In this paper we remove the conventional assumption of sources very far from the black hole, considering the distance of the source as an additional parameter in the lensing problem to be treated exactly. We find expressions for critical curves, caustics and all lensing observables valid for any position of the source up to the horizon. After analyzing the spherically symmetric case we focus on the Kerr black hole, for which we present an analytical 3-dimensional description of the higher order caustic tubes.

description: Linear minimum mean square error (LMMSE) receivers are often applied in practical communication scenarios for single-input-multiple-output (SIMO) systems owing to their low computational complexity and competitive performance. However, their performance is only the best among all the linear receivers, as they minimize the bit mean square error (MSE) alone in linear space. To overcome this limitation, in this study, we propose an LMMSE receiver based on the measurements augmented by their nonlinear conversion for a photon-counting receiver, a photomultiplier tube, and an avalanche photodetector. The performance of the proposed LMMSE receiver is studied for different nonlinear conversions, numbers of receivers, and receiver types. The simulation results indicate that the Monte Carlo results are consistent with the analytical results and that the proposed LMMSE receiver outperforms the conventional one in terms of bit MSE and bit error rate. Accordingly, it can be concluded that to achieve a desired bit MSE, the proposed LMMSE-based nonlinear receiver not only reduces the need to increase the number of receivers but also reduces the bandwidth requirements.

description: We present an atomistic 3D simulation study of the performance of graphene nanoribbon (GNR) Schottky barrier (SB) FETs and transistors with doped reservoirs (MOSFETs) by means of the self-consistent solution of the Poisson and Schrodinger equations within the non-equilibrium Green's function (NEGF) formalism. Ideal MOSFETs show slightly better electrical performance, for both digital and THz applications. The impact of non-idealities on device performance has been investigated, taking into account the presence of single vacancy, edge roughness and ionized impurities along the channel. In general, MOSFETs show more robust characteristics than SBFETs. Edge roughness and single vacancy defect largely affect performance of both device types.

Particle acceleration by sub-proton cyclotron frequency spectrum of dispersive Alfven waves in inhomogeneous solar coronal plasmas

description: The problem of explaining observed soft X-ray fluxes during solar flares, which invokes acceleration of large fraction of electrons, if the acceleration takes places at the solar coronal loop-top, can potentially be solved by postulating that flare at loop-top creates dispersive Alfven waves (DAWs) which propagate towards the foot-points. As DAWs move in progressively denser parts of the loop (due to gravitational stratification) the large fraction of electrons is no longer needed. Here we extend our previous results by considering $f ^{-1}$ frequency spectrum of DAWs and add ${\rm He^{++}}$ ions using fully kinetic particle-in-cell (PIC) simulations. We consider cases when transverse density gradient is in the range ${ 4-40} c/ω_{\rm { pe}}$ and DAW driving frequency is $0.3-0.6ω_{\rm { cp}}$. We find that (i) The frequency spectrum case does not affect electron acceleration fraction in the like-to-like cases, but few times larger percentage of ${\rm He^{++}}$ heating is seen due to ion cyclotron resonance; (ii) In cases when counter propagating DAWs collide multiple-times, much larger electron and ion acceleration fractions are found, but the process is intermittent in time. This is because intensive heating (temperature increase) makes the-above-thermal-fraction smaller; Also more isotropic velocity distributions are seen; (iii) Development of kink oscillations occurs when DAWs collide; (iv) Scaling of the magnetic fluctuations power spectrum steepening in the higher-density regions is seen, due to wave refraction. Our PIC runs produce much steeper slopes than the orginal spectrum, indicating that the electron-scale physics has a notable effect of DAW spectrum evolution.

Thermal and nonthermal emission are successfully resolved thanks to the excellent spectral response of Suzaku's X-ray CCD XIS. The nonthermal emission cannot be reproduced by a simple power-law model but needs a roll-off at 5.7$\times 10^{16}$ Hz = 0.23 keV. The roll-off frequency is significantly higher in the northeastern rim than in the southwestern rim. We also have placed the most stringent upper limit of the flux above 10 keV using the Hard X-ray Detector.

description: We discuss the calculation of the 1-loop effective action on four dimensional, canonically deformed Euclidean space. The theory under consideration is a scalar $ϕ^4$ model with an additional oscillator potential. This model is known to be re normalisable. Furthermore, we couple an exterior gauge field to the scalar field and extract the dynamics for the gauge field from the divergent terms of the 1-loop effective action using a matrix basis. This results in proposing an action for noncommutative gauge theory, which is a candidate for a renormalisable model.

description: Cross-sections for radioactive nuclide production in 56Fe(p,x) reactions at 300, 500, 750, 1000, 1500, and 2600 MeV were measured using the ITEP U-10 proton accelerator. In total, 221 independent and cumulative yields of products of half-lives from 6.6 min to 312 days have been obtained via the direct-spectrometry method. The measured data have been compared with the experimental data obtained elsewhere by the direct and inverse kinematics methods and with calculations by 15 codes, namely: MCNPX (INCL, CEM2k, BERTINI, ISABEL), LAHET (BERTINI, ISABEL), CEM03 (.01, .G1, .S1), LAQGSM03 (.01, .G1, >.S1), CASCADE-2004, LAHETO, and BRIEFF. Most of our data are in a good agreement with the inverse kinematics results and disprove the results of some earlier activation measurements that were quite different from the inverse kinematics measurements. The most significant calculation-to-experiment differences are observed in the yields of the A<30 light nuclei, indicating that further improvements in nuclear reaction models are needed, and pointing out as well to a necessity of more complete measurements of such reactions.

A commentary on Suetonius’ Galba
Creators: name: Lee, Stephen Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: It is difficult to ascertain the reason why the Lives of Suetonius have been so neglected by English-speaking scholars. In the historical significance of the period they cover, in the light they throw upon Roman life and manners and as a rich mine of anecdotes concerning Roman emperors, they have always been regarded as a most important source of information. There have been, however, few commentaries devoted to the Lives. The Galba has been particularly disregarded. Not since Mooney's edition of 1930 has there been any complete English commentary on the Life. However, other factors than the lack of a recent edition contributed to the choice of the Galba as the subject of this thesis. The Life deals with one of the most remarkable periods of Roman history, with the decline of the Julio-Claudian line and the subsequent political upheaval. It is also typical of Suetonius' style of biography in its impartiality, the structure and organization of its narrative, and its linguistic style. Finally, in the parallel accounts of Galba's life by Tacitus, Dio and Plutarch there exist constant points of reference that are vital for reasons of characterisation and historical value. It has been my aim in this thesis to produce a critical commentary on the Galba that both demonstrates the peculiar characteristics of the work and evaluates the contributions of modern scholarship. The thesis falls into three parts. The first chapter deals with the life of Suetonius and includes a discussion of the problems caused by the discovery of the Hippo Inscription. Subsequent sections are devoted to the date of composition of the Lives, the contentious question of Suetonius' sources and, finally, the manuscript tradition. Chapter two consists of a text of the Galba based on that of Ihm ( 1958). Some variations have been made and defended in the Commentary. Chapter three, the Commentary, constitutes the bulk of the thesis and is a section-by-section discussion of historical, textual and linguistic points arising from the text. The method of citation, through out, is by name of author and year of publication only. Full details can be found in the bibliography at the end of the thesis.

description: We study the propagation of nucleons and nuclei in tissue-like media within a Monte Carlo Model for Heavy-ion Therapy (MCHIT) based on the GEANT4 toolkit (version 8.2). The model takes into account fragmentation of projectile nuclei and secondary interactions of produced nuclear fragments. Model predictions are validated with available experimental data obtained for water and PMMA phantoms irradiated by monoenergetic carbon-ion beams. The MCHIT model describes well (1) the depth-dose distributions in water and PMMA, (2) the doses measured for fragments of certain charge, (3) the distributions of positron emitting nuclear fragments produced by carbon-ion beams, and (4) the energy spectra of secondary neutrons measured at different angles to the beam direction. Radial dose profiles for primary nuclei and for different projectile fragments are calculated and discussed as possible input for evaluation of biological dose distributions. It is shown that at the periphery of the transverse dose profile close to the Bragg peak the dose from secondary nuclear fragments is comparable to the dose from primary nuclei.

description: We present a method for mitigating measurement errors on quantum computing platforms that does not form the full assignment matrix, or its inverse, and works in a subspace defined by the noisy input bit-strings. This method accommodates both uncorrelated and correlated errors, and allows for computing accurate error bounds. Additionally, we detail a matrix-free preconditioned iterative solution method that converges in $\mathcal{O}(1)$ steps that is performant and uses orders of magnitude less memory than direct factorization. We demonstrate the validity of our method, and mitigate errors in a few seconds on numbers of qubits that would otherwise be intractable.

Nuclear shadowing and prompt photons at relativistic hadron colliders

description: The production of prompt photons at high energies provides a direct probe of the dynamics of the strong interactions. In particular, one expect that it could be used to constrain the behavior of the nuclear gluon distribution in $pA$ and $AA$ collisions. In this letter we investigate the influence of nuclear effects in the production of prompt photons and estimate the transverse momentum dependence of the nuclear ratios $R_{pA} = {\frac{dσ(pA)}{dy d^2 p_T}} / A {\frac{dσ(pp)}{dy d^2 p_T}}$ and $R_{AA} = {\frac{dσ(AA)}{dy d^2 p_T}} / A^2 {\frac{dσ(pp)}{dy d^2 p_T}}$ at RHIC and LHC energies. We demonstrate that the study of these observables can be useful to determine the magnitude of the shadowing and antishadowing effects in the nuclear gluon distribution.

description: Reducing construction accidents by increasing safety for various construction firms have always been major issues that have had an impact on various construction projects. Many research indicates a close focus on the difficulties of reducing construction accidents and increasing safety in construction projects by locating the optimal safety investments in precautionary safety equipment and activities used within any construction project. The construction industry has been using some mathematical models to obtain the optimal safety investment. For instance, Behavior-Based Safety is one of the many techniques used in the industry to increase safety due to its role of observing and reporting the workers' behaviors to eliminate accidents and increase project safety. The main objective of this study is to support reducing construction accidents by increasing safety awareness as well as comparing the cost of construction accidents with the cost of safety investments in a construction field. This research paper will discuss the effectiveness of the safety measurements on a construction project as well as compare the direct and indirect accident costs to the safety investments to increase safety in any construction field. This research aims to show that good safety management of a construction site can prevent accidents, reducing the cost of accidents and increasing project profits.

description: We propose a novel framework for predicting the factuality of reporting of news media outlets by studying the user attention cycles in their YouTube channels. In particular, we design a rich set of features derived from the temporal evolution of the number of views, likes, dislikes, and comments for a video, which we then aggregate to the channel level. We develop and release a dataset for the task, containing observations of user attention on YouTube channels for 489 news media. Our experiments demonstrate both complementarity and sizable improvements over state-of-the-art textual representations.

description: The recent economic downturn in the agricultural sector that started in 2013 has caused some concerns for farmers’ repayment capacity, which raises the need for precise prediction of financial stress in the agricultural sector. Machine learning has been shown to improve predictions with large financial data, however, its application remains limited in the agricultural sector. In this study, we approximate financial stress by agricultural loan delinquency, and predict it by employing a logistic regression and several machine learning methods. The main datasets include the Call Reports and Summary of Deposits from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). Our results show that ensemble learning methods have the best performance in prediction accuracy, with improvement of 26 percentage points at most and that the Naïve Bayes classifier is the best method to maintain the lowest cost from false predictions when the failure of identifying potentially high-risk loans is very costly. From the perspective of banks, while there are important benefits to using machine learning, the bank-level costs are also important considerations that may lead to different choices of machine learning methods.
Mining multi-modal communication patterns in interaction with explainable and non-explainable robots

description: We investigate interaction patterns for humans interacting with explainable and non-explainable robots. Non-explainable robots are here robots that do not explain their actions or non-actions, neither do they give any other feedback during interaction, in contrast to explainable robots. We video recorded and analyzed human behavior during a board game, where 20 humans verbally instructed either an explainable or non-explainable Pepper robot to move objects on the board. The transcriptions and annotations of the videos were transformed into transactions for association rule mining. Association rules discovered communication patterns in the interaction between the robots and the humans, and the most interesting rules were also tested with regular chi-square tests. Some statistically significant results are that there is a strong correlation between men and non-explainable robots and women and explainable robots, and that humans mirror some of the robot's modality. Our results also show that it is important to contextualize human interaction patterns, and that this can be easily done using association rules as an investigative tool. The presented results are important when designing robots that should adapt their behavior to become understandable for the interacting humans.

description: Multi-wavelength observations of Hickson's Compact Groups (HCGs) have shown that many of these groups are physical bound structures and are in different stage of evolution, from spiral-dominated systems to almost merged objects. Very few studies have analysed the Southern Compact Groups (SCGs) sample, which is though to be younger that HCGs, due to an on average higher number of spiral galaxies. We present here the first results from optical and radio observations on a pilot sample of SCGs.

description: ...The distribution of radio core-dominance is consistent with average projection angles of 13.5, 14.8, 16.8, 20.4, and 28.2 for ISPs, LSPs, FSRQs, HSPs, and radio galaxies, respectively. Linear regression analyses of our data yield significant anti-correlation r greater than 0.60 between core-dominance parameter and extended luminosity in each individual subsample, the correlation is significant only when individual subsamples are considered. There is a systematic sequence of the distribution of the different subclasses on the Core-dominance parameter-extended luminosity plane. Nevertheless, little or no correlation between Core-dominance parameter and core luminosity or between Core dominance parameter and gamma-ray luminosity r, less than 0.50 was observed. There is a clear dichotomy between high synchrotron-peaking BL Lacs and other BL Lac subclasses. The results are consistent with a unified view for blazars and can be understood in terms of relativistic beaming persisting at the largest scales.
