description: We show that electron wave functions in a quasi-two-dimensional conductor in a parallel magnetic field are always localized on conducting layers. Wave functions and electron spectrum in a quantum limit, where the "sizes" of quasi-classical electron orbits are of the order of nano-scale distances between the layers, are determined. AC infrared measurements to investigate Fermi surfaces and to test Fermi liquid theory in Q2D organic and high-Tc materials in high magnetic fields, H = 10-45 T, are suggested.

description: Based on a quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) protocol [Phys. Rev. A69(04)052319], we propose a $(n,n)$-threshold scheme of multiparty quantum secret sharing of classical messages (QSSCM) using only single photons. We take advantage of this multiparty QSSCM scheme to establish a scheme of multiparty secret sharing of quantum information (SSQI), in which only all quantum information receivers collaborate can the original qubit be reconstructed. A general idea is also proposed for constructing multiparty SSQI schemes from any QSSCM scheme.

description: The industrialization of animal agriculture has fundamentally transformed animal health markets while animal health innovations have promoted this industrialization. The subtlety of these interactions shows how little we know about agricultural industrialization. To illustrate, we consider three stylized features of industrialized animal agriculture. These are the closing off of production activities from external effects, emphasis on control, and use of biosecurity measures. We find that animal disease externalities should lead to higher stocking on any given farm, and also to deficient entry into animal production. Eradicating the disease in a region increases both the stocking rate per farm and the number of farms. We show that antibiotics as a control strategy should promote intensity of production and the substitution of capital for labor. Also, in long-run market equilibrium a reduction in the price of a biosecurity input could plausibly reduce both operation scale and per-animal input use, i.e., biosecurity inputs can behave like a Giffen good. External biosecurity inputs provided through public animal disease management policy may promote on-farm biosecurity, rather than crowd it out.

description: To make a power spectrum (PS) detection of the 21 cm signal from the Epoch of Reionisation (EoR), one must avoid/subtract bright foreground sources. Sources such as Fornax A present a modelling challenge due to spatial structures spanning from arc seconds up to a degree. We compare modelling with multi-scale (MS) CLEAN components to 'shapelets', an alternative set of basis functions. We introduce a new image-based shapelet modelling package, SHAMFI. We also introduce a new CUDA simulation code (WODEN) to generate point source, Gaussian, and shapelet components into visibilities. We test performance by modelling a simulation of Fornax A, peeling the model from simulated visibilities, and producing a residual PS. We find the shapelet method consistently subtracts large-angular-scale emission well, even when the angular-resolution of the data is changed. We find that when increasing the angular-resolution of the data, the MS CLEAN model worsens at large angular-scales. When testing on real MWA data, the expected improvement is not seen in real data because of the other dominating systematics still present. Through further simulation we find the expected differences to be lower than obtainable through current processing pipelines. We conclude shapelets are worthwhile for subtracting extended galaxies, and may prove essential for an EoR detection in the future, once other systematics have been addressed.

description: We show that the Reeb vector, and hence in particular the volume, of a Sasaki-Einstein metric on the base of a toric Calabi-Yau cone of complex dimension n may be computed by minimising a function Z on R^n which depends only on the toric data that defines the singularity. In this way one can extract certain geometric information for a toric Sasaki-Einstein manifold without finding the metric explicitly. For complex dimension n=3 the Reeb vector and the volume correspond to the R-symmetry and the a central charge of the AdS/CFT dual superconformal field theory, respectively. We therefore interpret this extremal problem as the geometric dual of a-maximisation. We illustrate our results with some examples, including the Y^{p,q} singularities and the complex cone over the second del Pezzo surface.

description: Measurements of the linear power spectrum of galaxies have placed tight constraints on neutrino masses. We extend the framework of the halo model of cosmological nonlinear matter clustering to include the effect of massive neutrino infall into cold dark matter (CDM) halos. The magnitude of the effect of neutrino clustering for three degenerate mass neutrinos with m_nu=0.9 eV is of order ~1%, within the potential sensitivity of upcoming weak lensing surveys. In order to use these measurements to further constrain--or eventually detect--neutrino masses, accurate theoretical predictions of the nonlinear power spectrum in the presence of massive neutrinos will be needed, likely only possible through high-resolution multiple particle (neutrino, CDM and baryon) simulations.

description: Studying the relationship between neuroanatomy and cognitive decline due to Alzheimer's has been a major research focus in the last decade. However, to infer cause-effect relationships rather than simple associations from observational data, we need to (i) express the causal relationships leading to cognitive decline in a graphical model, and (ii) ensure the causal effect of interest is identifiable from the collected data. We derive a causal graph from the current clinical knowledge on cause and effect in the Alzheimer's disease continuum, and show that identifiability of the causal effect requires all confounders to be known and measured. However, in complex neuroimaging studies, we neither know all potential confounders nor do we have data on them. To alleviate this requirement, we leverage the dependencies among multiple causes by deriving a substitute confounder via a probabilistic latent factor model. In our theoretical analysis, we prove that using the substitute confounder enables identifiability of the causal effect of neuroanatomy on cognition. We quantitatively evaluate the effectiveness of our approach on semi-synthetic data, where we know the true causal effects, and illustrate its use on real data on the Alzheimer's disease continuum, where it reveals important causes that otherwise would have been missed.

description: We study the system consisted of two electrons in a quantum dot with a three-dimensional harmonic confinement potential under the effect of a magnetic field. Specifically, two different confinement conditions are considered, one isotropic three-dimensional and the other anisotropic quasi-two-dimensional. Singlet and triplet lowest states properties as the energy, the exchange coupling, the two-electron density function and the spatial spreading of the two electrons in terms of the variance along the x-direction are analysed. In this study we employ the full configuration interaction method with Cartesian anisotropic Gaussian-type orbitals as basis set. These functions allow to explore the confining characteristics of a potential due to their flexibility of using different exponents for each direction in space. The convergence of the results, depending on the size of the set of basic functions, is examined and the oscillations of different physical quantities, concerning the singlet and triplet states, as a function of the magnetic field are discussed.

description: The finite temperature Brueckner-Hartree-Fock approach is extended by introducing a microscopic three-body force. In the framework of the extended model, the equation of state of hot asymmetric nuclear matter and its isospin dependence have been investigated. The critical temperature of liquid-gas phase transition for symmetric nuclear matter has been calculated and compared with other predictions. It turns out that the three-body force gives a repulsive contribution to the equation of state which is stronger at higher density and as a consequence reduces the critical temperature of liquid-gas phase transition. The calculated energy per nucleon of hot asymmetric nuclear matter is shown to satisfy a simple quadratic dependence on asymmetric parameter $β$ as in the zero-temperature case. The symmetry energy and its density dependence have been obtained and discussed. Our results show that the three-body force affects strongly the high-density behavior of the symmetry energy and makes the symmetry energy more sensitive to the variation of temperature. The temperature dependence and the isospin dependence of other physical quantities, such as the proton and neutron single particle potentials and effective masses are also studied. Due to the additional repulsion produced by the three-body force contribution, the proton and neutron single particle potentials are correspondingly enhanced as similar to the zero-temperature case.

Detecting depression after acute myocardial infarction and unstable angina using the Beck Depression Inventory - II and the Geriatric Depression Scale
Creators: name: Low, Gail Dianne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: No validation studies have been conducted with the Beck Depression Inventory - Second Edition (BDI-II) or the Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS) in a cardiac population. Because depression is an independent risk factor for mortality in cardiac patients, it is essential to identify a depression screen that is appropriate for this group. A total of 119 patients (89 men and 30 women) were recruited from the coronary care units of three hospitals. Home interviews were conducted approximately 2 weeks post-myocardial infarction (MI) or post-unstable angina/acute coronary syndrome (UA/ACS) . Participants were screened for depressive symptoms using the BDI-II and GDS. Research diagnoses o f participants' depression were determined using, as a gold standard, the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV-TR (SCID-I/NP) criteria for depression. Reliability estimates for both BDI-II and GDS scores were satisfactory. Criterion-related validity was examined by comparing the scores obtained on the BDI-II and GDS with the SCID-I/NP diagnoses of depression. Sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive values (PPV), and negative predictive values (NPV) were evaluated for different cut scores for the BDI-II and GDS, using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves. ROC curves revealed that both the BDI-II and GDS demonstrated excellent sensitivity for detecting major depressive disorder and double depression, however, the GDS demonstrated greater specificity and PPV than the BDI-II with this sample. For this population of medically-ill, older adults, it is recommended that researchers and clinicians use the GDS to screen for major depressive disorder or double depression. Neither the BDI-II nor the GDS was effective in screening for the broader or milder forms of depression (i.e., minor depressive disorder, partial remission of major depressive disorder, or dysthymia) in this post-MI and post-UA/ACS sample.

description: We report on the timing analysis of RXTE observations of the Galactic micro-quasar GRS 1915+105 performed in 2003. Out of a total of six times ~20 ks, we focus here only on the three observations during which GRS 1915+105 is found in a steady C-state (referred to as class $χ$) resulting in a total of \~50 ks. During these observations, we detect low frequency quasi-periodic oscillations with high (~14 %) rms amplitude in the 2-40 keV energy range. Contrary to what is usually observed in GRS 1915+105, in most of our observations the QPO frequency presents no correlation with the RXTE/PCA count rate, nor with the RXTE/ASM count rate. We present, for the first time, high resolution (22 spectral channels) 2-40 keV spectral fits of the energy dependence of the QPO amplitude (``QPO spectra''). The QPO spectra are well modeled with a cut-off power law except on one occasion where a single power law gives a satisfactory fit (with no cut-off at least up to ~40 keV). The cut-off energy evolves significantly from one observation to the other, from a value of ~21.8 keV to ~30 keV in the other observations where it is detected. We discuss the possible origin of this behavior and suggest that the compact jet detected in the radio contributes to the hard X-ray (> 20 keV) mostly through synchrotron emission, whereas the X-ray emitted below 20 keV would originate through inverse Compton scattering. The dependence of the QPO amplitude on the energy can be understood if the modulation of the X-ray flux is contained in the Comptonized photons and not in the synchrotron ones.

description: A significant part of the thin layers of counter-ions adjacent to the exterior and interior surfaces of a cell membrane form quasi-two-dimensional (2D) layers of mobile charge. Collective charge density oscillations, known as plasmon modes, in these 2D charged systems of counter-ions are predicted in the present paper. This is based on a calculation of the self-consistent response of this system to a fast electric field fluctuation. The possibility that the membrane channels might be using these excitations to carry out fast communication is suggested and experiments are proposed to reveal the existence of such excitations.

The lived experience of fathers of young adult children with schizophrenia
Creators: name: Wiens, Sandra Ellen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A qualitative phenomenological research method was used to explore and describe the lived experience of six fathers of young adult children with schizophrenia who volunteered to participate in this study. The following six themes emerged from the analysis of these fathers' stories through the seven steps of phenomenological analysis outlined by Colaizzi (1978): reflection on roles and responsibilities, a sense of devastation and vulnerability, a sense of sadness and loss, a sense of frustration with the mental health system, a sense of admiration for their child, and a sense of having gained personally. The findings of the study indicated that reflection on their early roles and responsibilities as fathers before the onset of their child's illness helped the participants in this study make meaning of the roles and responsibilities they assumed as their child's illness progressed. The participants experienced a sense of devastation and vulnerability when their child received the diagnosis of schizophrenia, as they began to face the realities of living with a child with schizophrenia, and especially when dealing with crisis situations. They also experienced a sense of sadness and loss. Five kinds of losses were described: loss of who their child once was, loss of their child's potential to be productive, loss of dreams for their child's future, loss experienced in fathers' present lives, as well as loss of hopes and dreams for their own future. A sense of frustration was reported in response to various aspects of the mental health system. Two additional themes emerged from the analysis of the participants' stories that were not reported as themes in previous studies: a sense of admiration for their child and a sense of having gained personally. The study concludes with a discussion of implications for counselling practice, implications for mental health policy, as well as implications for future research.
Emergent 2HDM in LSS Little-Higgs: Musings from Flavor and Electroweak Physics

description: The low energy effective theory ($\sim$ TeV) of the little-Higgs model with $SU(6)/Sp(6)$, as proposed by Low, Skiba and Smith (LSS), exhibits a two-Higgs doublet model (2HDM) structure. The symmetry dictates interesting Yukawa patterns, translating to non-trivial fermion couplings with both of the Higgs doublets. The couplings of the scalars with the fermions can induce flavor changing neutral currents (FCNC), which get constraints from flavor physics observables such as BR$(B\rightarrow X_sγ)$, $B_s - \bar{B}_s$ mixing etc. The precision measurement of $Z b \bar{b}$ vertex, the top and Higgs mass along with other Higgs coupling measurements at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) also enforce severe restrictions on the LSS model. Direct LHC search results of beyond the Standard Model (BSM) particles also impose bounds on the masses. We probe the LSS model in view of the above constraints through a random scan in the multi-dimensional parameter space. We observe, on contrary to the general 2HDM scenario, the emergent 2HDM from the LSS model is less constrained from the flavor data and the $Z b \bar{b}$ measurement but is severely constrained form the electroweak (EW) searches at the LHC. From the flavor data and $Z b \bar{b}$, we find that the charged Higgs mass is relaxed with $\tanβ$ being restricted to $0.5-5$, whereas the charged Higgs mass is pushed to larger than 1 TeV along with $\tanβ$ being further restricted to $< 3$ when the LHC bounds are incorporated.

description: Despite considerable progress in genome- and proteome-based high-throughput screening methods and rational drug design, the number of successful single target drugs did not increase appreciably during the past decade. Network models suggest that partial inhibition of a surprisingly small number of targets can be more efficient than the complete inhibition of a single target. This and the success stories of multi-target drugs and combinatorial therapies led us to suggest that systematic drug design strategies should be directed against multiple targets. We propose that the final effect of partial, but multiple drug actions might often surpass that of complete drug action at a single target. The future success of this novel drug design paradigm will depend not only on a new generation of computer models to identify the correct multiple hits and their multi-fitting, low-affinity drug candidates but also on more efficient in vivo testing.

This interesting physics effect has raised considerable attention in recent years especially in terms of on-chip quantum systems. In this context, our work focuses on tailoring single semiconductor quantum dot-waveguide (QD-WG) systems to emit single photons with high directionality. We use low-temperature in-situ electron-beam lithography enabled by cathodoluminescence mapping to select suitable QDs and to integrate them deterministically into linear waveguide structures at specific chiral points determined by numerical calculations. We observe excitonic and biexcitonic emission from the fabricated QD-WG structure in a confocal microPL setup enabling the optical characterization in terms of directional emission of circularly polarized photons emitted by integrated QDs. Our results show a high degree of anisotropy on the level of 54% for directional QD emission and antibunching in autocorrelation experiment confirming the fabricated QD-WG system, which is a prerequisite for using this effect in advanced applications in integrated quantum circuits.

description: This article assesses the relative importance of risk preferences and rainfall availability on households’ decision to engage in off-farm employment. Devoting time for off-farm activities, while it helps households earn additional incomes, involves a number of uncertainties. Unique panel data from Ethiopia which includes experimentally generated risk preference measures combined with longitudinal rainfall data is used in the analysis. An off farm participation decision and activity choice showed that both variability and reduced availability of rainfall as well as neutral risk preferences increase the likelihood of off-farm participation. From policy perspective, the results imply that expanding off farm opportunities could act as safety nets in the face of weather uncertainty. In addition, policy initiatives geared towards encouraging income diversification through off farm employment need to address underlying factor that condition risk bearing ability of households.

Understanding Intrinsic Robustness using Label Uncertainty

Publisher: name: CISPA
Year: 2024

description: A fundamental question in adversarial machine learning is whether a robust classifier exists for a given task. A line of research has made some progress towards this
goal by studying the concentration of measure, but we argue standard concentration
fails to fully characterize the intrinsic robustness of a classification problem since
it ignores data labels which are essential to any classification task. Building on a
novel definition of label uncertainty, we empirically demonstrate that error regions
induced by state-of-the-art models tend to have much higher label uncertainty than
randomly-selected subsets. This observation motivates us to adapt a concentration
estimation algorithm to account for label uncertainty, resulting in more accurate
intrinsic robustness measures for benchmark image classification problems.

description: It is known that scalar-tensor gravity models can be studied in Einstein and Jordan frames. In this paper, we consider a model of scalar-tensor gravity in Einstein's frame to calculate the Lifshitz-like black hole solutions with different horizon topologies. We study thermodynamic properties and first order van der Waals like phase transition, and find that the Lifshitz parameter affects the phase structure. In addition, we investigate thermal stability by using the behavior of heat capacity and various methods of geometrical thermodynamics.

description: The study examined beekeeping activities in Ekiti State, Nigeria. Specifically the study appraised the costs and returns structure of beekeeping activities by beneficiaries of the ESACA scheme, examined the constraints to beekeeping under the scheme and outside the scheme and identified factors that affect beekeeping under the scheme and outside the scheme. A total of 150 beekeeper households were selected; 75 households each for ESACA beneficiary and non-beneficiary respondents across communities popularly known for beekeeping in Ekiti state. Descriptive statistics, costs and returns, regression and Kruscalwallis analyses were employed for data analysis. Beekeeping was found to be more profitable under the ESACA scheme than outside the scheme with returns to beekeeping labour and management of N 128.5 and N 87.0 per hive for beneficiary and non-beneficiary respondents respectively. The pooled regression result showed that the ESACA scheme enabled beneficiary respondents to be more economically viable than the non-beneficiary respondents. The bee-keepers are also faced with numerous constraints including inadequate credit, pests and diseases, bee aggressiveness, bush burning, absconding of bees, theft, inadequate technical assistance and poor market problems. The study therefore calls for that ESACA authority should extend its credit facilities to more beekeepers, need to increase loan sums and other credit facilities disbursed to beekeepers and the discouragement of bush burning by the hunters and other forest users during the dry season.
Numerical study of extreme mechanical force exerted by a turbulent flow on a bluff body by direct and rare-event sampling techniques

description: This study investigates, by means of numerical simulations, extreme mechanical force exerted by a turbulent flow impinging on a bluff body, and examines the relevance of two distinct rare-event algorithms to efficiently sample these events. The drag experienced by a square obstacle placed in a turbulent channel flow (in two dimensions) is taken as a representative case study. Direct sampling shows that extreme fluctuations are closely related to the presence of a strong vortex blocked in the near wake of the obstacle. This vortex is responsible for a significant pressure drop between the forebody and the base of the obstacle, thus yielding a very high value of the drag. Two algorithms are then considered to speed up the sampling of such flow scenarii, namely the AMS and the GKTL algorithms. The general idea behind these algorithms is to replace a long simulation by a set of much shorter ones, running in parallel, with dynamics that are replicated or pruned, according to some specific rules designed to sample large-amplitude events more frequently. These algorithms have been shown to be relevant for a wide range of problems in statistical physics, computer science, biochemistry. The present study is the first application to a fluid-structure interaction problem. Practical evidence is given that the fast sweeping time of turbulent fluid structures past the obstacle has a strong influence on the efficiency of the rare-event algorithm. While the AMS algorithm does not yield significant run-time savings as compared to direct sampling, the GKTL algorithm appears to be effective to sample very efficiently extreme fluctuations of the time-averaged drag and estimate related statistics such as return times.

description: We present a theoretical approach which maps polymer blends onto mixtures of soft-colloidal particles. The analytical mesoscale pair distribution functions reproduce well data from united atom molecular dynamics simulations of polyolefin mixtures without fitting parameters.

description: Cassava production in Benin is still characterized by low productivity compared to those of sub regional countries. Improved cassava varieties have been then developed. They have been promised to raise the productivity and thereby the income of farmers. This study examines the relationship between agricultural technology adoption and productivity improvement with focusing on high yield cassava varieties. The data used were collected from 267 randomly selected cassava producers in Benin. The paper uses the counterfactual outcomes framework of modern evaluation theory to estimate the Average Treatment Effect (ATE) of high yield cassava varieties adoption on farm-level average yield. Results indicate that the adoption of high yield cassava varieties farm-level average yield.

description: We analytically perform the transverse momentum integrations in the real corrections to the longitudinal γ*_L impact factor. The resulting integrals are Feynman parameter integrals, and we provide a MATHEMATICA file which contains the integrands. The remaining integrals are carried out numerically. We perform a numerical test, and we compute those parts of the impact factor which depend upon the energy scale s_0: they are found to be negative and, with decreasing values of s_0, their absolute value increases.

Do Parameters Reveal More than Loss for Membership Inference?

Publisher: name: CISPA
Year: 2024

description: Membership inference attacks aim to infer whether an individual record was used to train a model, serving as a key tool for disclosure auditing. While such evaluations are useful to demonstrate risk, they are computationally expensive and often make strong assumptions about potential adversaries' access to models and training environments, and thus do not provide very tight bounds on leakage from potential attacks. We show how prior claims around black-box access being sufficient for optimal membership inference do not hold for most useful settings such as stochastic gradient descent, and that optimal membership inference indeed requires white-box access. We validate our findings with a new white-box inference attack IHA (Inverse Hessian Attack) that explicitly uses model parameters by taking advantage of computing inverse-Hessian vector products. Our results show that both audits and adversaries may be able to benefit from access to model parameters, and we advocate for further research into white-box methods for membership privacy auditing.
