description: Compton scatter tomography is an emerging technique with attractive applications in several fields in imaging such as non-destructive testing and medical scanning. In this paper, we introduce a novel modality in three dimensions with a fixed source and a single detector that moves on a spherical surface. We also study the Radon transform modeling the data that consists in integrals on toric surfaces. Using spherical harmonics we arrive to a generalized Abel s type equation connecting the coefficients of the expansion of the data with those of the function. We show the uniqueness of its solution and so the invertibility of the toric Radon transform. We illustrate this through numerical reconstructions in three dimensions using Tikhonov regularization. A preliminary version of the algorithm for discrete spherical harmonic expansion is available in a public code repository.

Slave-boson approach to the infinite-U Anderson-Holstein impurity model

description: The infinite-$U$ Anderson-Holstein impurity model is studied with a focus on the interplay between the strong electron correlation and the weak electron-phonon interaction. The slave boson method has been employed in combination with the large degeneracy expansion (1/N) technique. The charge and spin susceptibilities and the phonon propagator are obtained in the approximation scheme where the saddle point configuration and the Gaussian 1/N fluctuations are taken into account. The spin susceptibility is found not to be renormalized by electron-phonon interaction, while the charge susceptibility is renormalized. From the renormalized charge susceptibility the Kondo temperature is found to increase by the electron-phonon interaction. It turns out that the bosonic 1/N Gaussian fluctuations play a very crucial role, in particular, for the phonon propagator.

description: In this article, legal consequences of the new German genetic engineering act are analyzed. In addition environmental economic analysis is presented of those parts of the act that introduce new litigation regulation to farmers. The different kinds of external costs arising from genetic engineering of plants and their allocation to different actors are considered. The paper focuses on the costs resulting from the postulated coexistence of conventional/organic farms and users of biotechnology. Excessive liability of farmers can be avoided, if the producers of genetically modified seeds accept any litigation claims against farmers. Furthermore, negotiations between neighbouring farms can be an option to keep the costs of damage prevention at reasonable levels.

description: The widely studied benchmark problem, 2-D driven cavity flow problem is discussed in details in terms of physical and mathematical and also numerical aspects. A very brief literature survey on studies on the driven cavity flow is given. Based on the several numerical and experimental studies, the fact of the matter is, above moderate Reynolds numbers physically the flow in a driven cavity is not two-dimensional. However there exist numerical solutions for 2-D driven cavity flow at high Reynolds numbers.
Improving the water resource management system in Beijing, China : steps toward integrated management
Creators: name: Peng, Qiong
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Given the efforts made to improve water resource management in Beijing and the limited progress thus far, I explore alternatives for improving water management performance. Supported by evidence gathered from the research process and by my analysis of the Chinese institutional environment, I argue that it is possible to use an integrated management approach to capture and represent a more meaningful planning practice. Such an approach would enable multiple improvements in water management efficiency. As part of my research, I observed institutional responses and constraints during the Beijing government's reform process, in particular, water management initiatives. My findings strongly suggest that the current institutional and regulatory context, inherited from old frameworks, is an impediment to fully implementing initiatives that might otherwise improve water management. My findings also illustrate that how different actors in a decision-making process are constrained by these old frameworks; central and local relations, marketization, public involvement, NGO development and capacity building in general are all confined by existing institutional barriers. To develop a successful integrated management system, it is essential that these institutional and regulatory issues are resolved. I conclude that establishing an integrated management system can help td create a holistic model in which various types of initiatives are embedded. Moreover, this approach is not unrealistic, given recent trends in Chinese institutional reform and the willingness to change on the part of Beijing's high-level authorities.

description: The observation of quantum criticality in diverse classes of strongly correlated electron systems has been instrumental in establishing ordering principles, discovering new phases, and identifying the relevant degrees of freedom and interactions. At focus so far have been insulators and metals. Semimetals, which are of great current interest as candidate phases with nontrivial topology, are much less explored in experiments. Here we study the Kondo semimetal CeRu$_4$Sn$_6$ by magnetic susceptibility, specific heat, and inelastic neutron scattering experiments. The power-law divergence of the magnetic Grünesien ratio reveals that, surprisingly, this compound is quantum critical without tuning. The dynamical energy over temperature scaling in the neutron response, seen throughout the Brillouin zone, as well as the temperature dependence of the static uniform susceptibility indicate that temperature is the only energy scale in the criticality. Such behavior, which has been associated with Kondo destruction quantum criticality in metallic systems, may well be generic in the semimetal setting.

A port-Hamiltonian approach to modeling the structural dynamics of complex systems

description: With this contribution, we give a complete and comprehensive framework for modeling the dynamics of complex mechanical structures as port-Hamiltonian systems. This is motivated by research on the potential of lightweight construction using active load-bearing elements integrated into the structure. Such adaptive structures are of high complexity and very heterogeneous in nature. Port-Hamiltonian systems theory provides a promising approach for their modeling and control. Subsystem dynamics can be formulated in a domain-independent way and interconnected by means of power flows. The modular approach is also suitable for robust decentralized control schemes. Starting from a distributed-parameter port-Hamiltonian formulation of beam dynamics, we show the application of an existing structure-preserving mixed finite element method to arrive at finite-dimensional approximations. In contrast to the modeling of single bodies with a single boundary, we consider complex structures composed of many simple elements interconnected at the boundary. This is analogous to the usual way of modeling civil engineering structures which has not been transferred to port-Hamiltonian systems before. A block diagram representation of the interconnected systems is used to generate coupling constraints which leads to differential algebraic equations of index one. After the elimination of algebraic constraints, systems in input-state-output(ISO) port-Hamiltonian form are obtained. Port-Hamiltonian system models for the considered class of systems can also be constructed from the mass and stiffness matrices obtained via conventional finite element methods. We show how this relates to the presented approach and discuss the differences, promoting a better understanding across engineering disciplines.

description: Words and phrases acquire meaning from the way they are used in society, from their relative semantics to other words and phrases. For computers the equivalent of `society' is `database,' and the equivalent of `use' is `way to search the database.' We present a new theory of similarity between words and phrases based on information distance and Kolmogorov complexity. To fix thoughts we use the world-wide-web as database, and Google as search engine. The method is also applicable to other search engines and databases. This theory is then applied to construct a method to automatically extract similarity, the Google similarity distance, of words and phrases from the world-wide-web using Google page counts. The world-wide-web is the largest database on earth, and the context information entered by millions of independent users averages out to provide automatic semantics of useful quality. We give applications in hierarchical clustering, classification, and language translation. We give examples to distinguish between colors and numbers, cluster names of paintings by 17th century Dutch masters and names of books by English novelists, the ability to understand emergencies, and primes, and we demonstrate the ability to do a simple automatic English-Spanish translation. Finally, we use the WordNet database as an objective baseline against which to judge the performance of our method. We conduct a massive randomized trial in binary classification using support vector machines to learn categories based on our Google distance, resulting in an a mean agreement of 87% with the expert crafted WordNet categories.

description: We report the detection of paramagnetic resonance in the double perovskite La2NiMnO6 at room temperature for microwave magnetic fields with frequencies, f = 1 GHz to 5 GHz, using two cavity-less methods. We use an indirect impedance method which makes use of a radio frequency impedance analyzer and a folded copper strip coil for the frequency range f = 1 to 2.2 GHz. In this method, when an applied dc magnetic field is swept, high-frequency resistance of the strip coil exhibits a sharp peak and the reactance curve crosses zero exhibiting resonance. A lock-in based broadband setup using a coplanar waveguide for microwave excitation was used for f = 2 to 5 GHz The resonance fields (Hr) obtained from both the techniques increase linearly with frequency and a large spectroscopic g-factor, equal to 2.1284, which supports the presence of Ni2+ cation with strong spin-orbit coupling. Line shape analysis and analytical fitting were performed to characterize the material in terms of its initial susceptibility and damping parameters.

description: European agricultural policy has undergone profound changes during the past decade. The nucleus of this reform has been the transformation of the agricultural and food policy from a producer centred perspective of agriculture to a more market and consumer oriented food chain approach. Such a systemic perspective calls for a stronger and systematic integration of the more demand-oriented policy fields of food, consumer and public health policy as well as of elements of politics of sustainable development along the whole food chain. The paper analyzes the reasons and consequences of these developments, and calls for an integrated “food chain politics” approach. Implications for the future design of practical and academic agricultural policy are drawn.

description: Different channels over which electrons scatter between parts of the Fermi surface are the key to various electronic quantum matters, such as superconductivity and density waves. We consider an effective model in higher dimensions where each of the two pockets in the original model maps to (the Landau levels of) two Dirac fermions. We discover an emergent channel when two Dirac fermions from different pairs annihilate, where the presence of a strong density wave is essential. We support our analysis with numerical calculations on model examples in the vicinity of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic orders. We also discuss interesting consequences on electron interaction channels that beyond-mean-field fluctuations may induce.

description: We develop a data-driven model to map stellar parameters (effective temperature, surface gravity and metallicity) accurately and precisely to broad-band stellar photometry. This model must, and does, simultaneously constrain the passband-specific dust reddening vector in the Milky Way. The model uses a neural network to learn the (de-reddened) absolute magnitude in one band and colors across many bands, given stellar parameters from spectroscopic surveys and parallax constraints from Gaia. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach, we train our model on a dataset with spectroscopic parameters from LAMOST, APOGEE and GALAH, Gaia parallaxes, and optical and near-infrared photometry from Gaia, Pan-STARRS~1, 2MASS and WISE. Testing the model on these datasets leads to an excellent fit and a precise - and by construction accurate - prediction of the color-magnitude diagrams in many bands. This flexible approach rigorously links spectroscopic and photometric surveys, and also results in an improved, stellar-temperature-dependent reddening vector. As such, it provides a simple and accurate method for predicting photometry in stellar evolutionary models. Our model will form a basis to infer stellar properties, distances and dust extinction from photometric data, which should be of great use in 3D mapping of the Milky Way. Our trained model may be obtained at https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3902382.

description: We review the properties of six families of orthogonal polynomials that form the main bulk of the collection called the Askey--Wilson scheme of polynomials. We give connection coefficients between them as well as the so-called linearization formulae and other useful important finite and infinite expansions and identities. An important part of the paper is the presentation of probabilistic models where most of these families of polynomials appear. These results were scattered within the literature in recent 15 years. We put them together to enable an overall outlook on these families and understand their crucial rôle in the attempts to generalize Gaussian distributions and find their bounded support generalizations. The paper is based on 65 items in the predominantly recent literature.

description: This paper employs Data Envelopment Analysis and Stochastic Frontier Analysis to examine the technical efficiency of the agricultural sectors of the Central and Eastern European accession Countries (CEECs) during the period 1998-2001. The results indicate that the agricultural sectors of many accession countries are both technically inefficient and scale-inefficient. The analysis of changes in total factor productivity suggests slow rates of adoption of technical progress, declining technical efficiency of agricultural enterprises and, as a result, less efficient use of existing technologies and resources during the considered time period.

description: The interaction of electrons with quantized phonons and photons underlies the ultrafast dynamics of systems ranging from molecules to solids, and it gives rise to a plethora of physical phenomena experimentally accessible using time-resolved techniques. Green's function methods offer an invaluable interpretation tool since scattering mechanisms of growing complexity can be selectively incorporated in the theory. Currently, however, real-time Green's function simulations are either prohibitively expensive due to the cubic scaling with the propagation time or do neglect the feedback of electrons on the bosons, thus violating energy conservation. We put forward a computationally efficient Green's function scheme which overcomes both limitations. The numerical effort scales linearly with the propagation time while the simultaneous dressing of electrons and bosons guarantees the fulfillment of all fundamental conservation laws. We present a real-time study of the phonon-driven relaxation dynamics in an optically excited narrow band-gap insulator, highlighting the nonthermal behavior of the phononic degrees of freedom. Our formulation paves the way to first-principles simulations of electron-boson systems with unprecedented long propagation times.

description: Speaker extraction aims to mimic humans' selective auditory attention by extracting a target speaker's voice from a multi-talker environment. It is common to perform the extraction in frequency-domain, and reconstruct the time-domain signal from the extracted magnitude and estimated phase spectra. However, such an approach is adversely affected by the inherent difficulty of phase estimation. Inspired by Conv-TasNet, we propose a time-domain speaker extraction network (SpEx) that converts the mixture speech into multi-scale embedding coefficients instead of decomposing the speech signal into magnitude and phase spectra. In this way, we avoid phase estimation. The SpEx network consists of four network components, namely speaker encoder, speech encoder, speaker extractor, and speech decoder. Specifically, the speech encoder converts the mixture speech into multi-scale embedding coefficients, the speaker encoder learns to represent the target speaker with a speaker embedding. The speaker extractor takes the multi-scale embedding coefficients and target speaker embedding as input and estimates a receptive mask. Finally, the speech decoder reconstructs the target speaker's speech from the masked embedding coefficients. We also propose a multi-task learning framework and a multi-scale embedding implementation. Experimental results show that the proposed SpEx achieves 37.3%, 37.7% and 15.0% relative improvements over the best baseline in terms of signal-to-distortion ratio (SDR), scale-invariant SDR (SI-SDR), and perceptual evaluation of speech quality (PESQ) under an open evaluation condition.

description: The aim of the paper is to investigate how agricultural relative incomes have changed in recent years, since the CAP has switched its emphasis from price support to rural development. The distributional implications of agricultural and rural policies are indirectly evaluated looking at the dynamics of earnings and wages in agriculture, as well as at the rural household incomes described through monetary and non monetary variables, so to proxy their living standards. Our concern is not particularly on the agricultural policy tools, as much as on the evaluation of their end results. A comparison spanning through time and across countries is performed on the basis of the information provided by the ECHP and EU-SILC surveys. The paper seeks to unravel the differences between rural and urban population in the different European areas and offers a description of how successes and failures varied, keeping the CAP in the background.

In particular, we give an extension of AKSZ-type observables using the Batalin-Vilkovisky structure of AKSZ theories to a formal global version with methods of formal geometry. We will consider the case where the AKSZ theory is "split" which will give an explicit construction for formal vector fields on base and fiber within the formal global action. Moreover, we consider the example of formal global generalized Wilson surface observables whose expectation values are invariants of higher-dimensional knots by using $BF$ field theory. These constructions give rise to interesting global gauge conditions such as the differential Quantum Master Equation and further extensions.

description: The present paper refers to the results from the evaluation of rural development programmes (RDPs) of five German states. It is focussed on two issues. The first is to develop a methodological approach for determining the implementation costs (ICs). The second is the discussion of their relevance in the context of the implementation of rural development policies presenting selected empirical results. The cost-impact synopsis (CIS) is a wider approach to relate the measure-specific implementation costs and disbursed funds, based on implementation cost classes, with achieved impact levels. The principles guiding the discussion are two theses: (1) High implementation costs increase the overall cost of the programme and thus reduce funding efficiency, (2) High implementation costs increase the use efficiency of the programmes because they are associated with more targeted, more effective measures. Sample analytical results for different study levels show that the empirical results lie somewhere between these two extremes.

description: A new fourth order compact formulation for the steady 2-D incompressible Navier-Stokes equations is presented. The formulation is in the same form of the Navier-Stokes equations such that any numerical method that solve the Navier-Stokes equations can also be applied to this fourth order compact formulation. In particular in this work the formulation is solved with an efficient numerical method that requires the solution of tridiagonal systems using a fine grid mesh of 601x601. Using this formulation, the steady 2-D incompressible flow in a driven cavity is solved up to Reynolds number of 20,000 with fourth order spatial accuracy. Detailed solutions are presented.
Secular dynamics of hierarchical multiple systems composed of nested binaries, with an arbitrary number of bodies and arbitrary hierarchical structure. III. Suborbital effects: hybrid integration techniques and orbit-averaging corrections

description: The SecularMultiple code, presented in two previous papers of this series, integrates the long-term dynamical evolution of multiple systems with any number of bodies and hierarchical structure, provided that the system is composed of nested binaries. In the formalism underlying SecularMultiple, we previously averaged over all orbits in the system. This approximation significantly speeds up numerical integration of the equations of motion, making large population synthesis studies possible. However, the orbit averaging approximation can break down when the secular evolution timescale of the system is comparable to or shorter than any of the orbital periods in the system. Here, we present an update to SecularMultiple in which we incorporate hybrid integration techniques, and orbit-averaging corrections. With this update, the user can specify which orbits should be integrated directly (without averaging), or assuming averaged orbits. For orbits that are integrated directly, we implemented two integration techniques, one which is based on the regularised Kustaanheimo-Stiefel equations of motion in element form. We also implemented analytical orbit-averaging corrections for pairwise interactions to quadrupole order. The updates presented here provide more flexibility for integrating the long-term dynamical evolution of hierarchical multiple systems. By effectively combining direct integration and orbit averaging the long-term evolution can be accurately computed, but with significantly lower computational cost compared to existing direct N-body codes. We give a number of examples in which the new features are beneficial. Our updated code, which is written in C++ supplemented with a user-friendly interface in Python, is freely available.

Anomaly and Anomaly-Free Treatment of QFTs Based on Symmetry-preserving Loop Regularization

description: The triangle anomaly in massless and massive QED is investigated by adopting the symmetry-preserving loop regularization method proposed recently in \cite{LR}. The method is realized in the initial dimension of theory without modifying the original lagrangian, it preserves symmetries under non-Abelian gauge and Poincare transformations in spite of the existence of two intrinsic mass scales $M_c$ and $μ_s$ which actually play the roles of UV- and IR-cut off respectively. The axialvector-vector-vector (AVV) triangle diagrams in massless and massive QED are evaluated explicitly by using the loop regularization. It is shown that when the momentum $k$ of external state is soft with $k^2 \ll μ_s^2, m^2 $ ($m$ is the mass of loop fermions) and $ M_c \to \infty$, both massless and massive QED become anomaly free. The triangle anomaly is found to appear as quantum corrections in the case that $ m^2, μ_s^2 \ll k^2 $ and $M_c \to \infty$. Especially, it is justified that in the massless QED with $μ_s =0$ and $M_c\to \infty$, the triangle anomaly naturally exists as quantum effects in the axial-vector current when the ambiguity caused by the trace of gamma matrices with $γ_5$ is eliminated by simply using the definition of $γ_5$. It is explicitly demonstrated how the Ward identity anomaly of currents depends on the treatment for the trace of gamma matrices, which enables us to make a clarification whether the ambiguity of triangle anomaly is caused by the regularization scheme in the perturbation calculations or by the trace of gamma matrices with $γ_5$.

description: Good governance approaches in policy formulation and implementation - based on key concepts like participation, networking, transparency and accountability - are more and more adopted by the EU in addressing its rural policies reforms. Public Administrations at all levels should be evaluated with respect to their capacity to respect good governance principles. First, on the basis of a meta-analysis of ongoing initiatives (e.g. the World Bank’s Worldwide Governance Indicators), a methodological framework for assessing the quality of new governance modes is presented. Secondly, on the basis of case-studies in Italy, the monitoring and evaluation tools currently used by the European Commission to assess Administrations’ performances in rural development programs and Leader approach are compared with the proposed framework. Gaps are identified and discussed. Findings demonstrate, among others, the weakness of the European evaluation system in the analysis of the cost/benefit ratio of (local) governance and non market (environmental, social, distributive) effects.
Mechanisms of ion regulation in the euryhaline killifish Fundulus heteroclitus : molecular and evolutionary perspectives
Creators: name: Scott, Graham R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: A comprehensive approach was employed to study various aspects of ionoregulatory physiology in the euryhaline killifish Fundulus heteroclitus. I first characterized the changes in gene expression in the gills of individuals from a northern population of killifish after abrupt transfer from near-isosmotic brackish water to either freshwater or seawater. Many changes in response to seawater transfer were transient: increased mRNA expression occurred 1 day after transfer for Na⁺,K⁺-ATPase α[sub 1a] (3- fold), Na⁺,K⁺,2Cl⁻-cotransporter 1 (NKCC1) (3-fold), and glucocorticoid receptor (1.3- fold). In contrast, expression of the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) Cl⁻ channel generally remained elevated (2-fold) in seawater. The responses to freshwater transfer were quite different than to seawater transfer. In particular, freshwater transfer caused a greater increase in Na⁺,K⁺-ATPase α[sub 1a] mRNA expression, but had no effect on V-type H⁺-ATPase expression. I also examined the ionoregulatory physiology of both northern and southern killifish populations after freshwater transfer to understand possible mechanisms of freshwater adaptation. Pronounced differences in freshwater tolerance existed between northern (2% mortality) and southern (19% mortality) killifish populations. Differences in Na+ regulation between each population were small and likely cannot account for this large difference in mortality, as plasma Na⁺,Na⁺,K⁺-ATPase mRNA expression and activity in the gills, and Na⁺ flux rates were all similar between populations after freshwater transfer. Large differences in Cl⁻ regulation existed between populations and likely contributed to the marked differences in mortality after freshwater transfer. Plasma Cl⁻ decreased rapidly and remained low following freshwater transfer in southerns, but not in northerns, corresponding to a higher rate of Cl⁻ loss from southerns after transfer. Elevated Cl⁻ loss from southern fish in freshwater was possibly due to a persistence of seawater gill morphology, as paracellular permeability and apical crypt density in the gills were both higher than in northern fish. Taken together, my data demonstrate that killifish use an array of regulatory strategies, including gene expression, to modulate ion transport in response to changing environmental salinity. Salinity tolerance is not uniform within the species, however, as intraspecific variation exists suggesting that northerns are better adapted to freshwater.
