Individual elemental abundances in elliptical galaxies
Creators: name: Serven, Jedidiah Lee
Publisher: name: Washington State University

Subjects: Elliptical galaxies

description: The purpose of this study was to examine whether few or negative interactions between second-year students and faculty are factors considered for students who choose not to return to the university. Data were collected from non-returning students to determine reasons for their attrition. Emphasis was placed on second-to-third-year students and three factors for not returning: unsatisfying interactions with faculty, too little interaction with faculty, and poor academic advising. Demographic variables were also examined that included ethnicity and gender. This study used a theoretical approach to examine factors associated with student-faculty interaction and attrition. The theoretical framework of transition theory was used to explore factors of attrition. The instrument is comprised of 25 factors using a three item scale of major reasons for not returning, minor reason for not returning, and not a reason for not returning. This study found no statistically significant correlations between second-year students and student-faculty interaction as reasons for not returning to the university. There were, however, statistically significant between-group differences found with juniors, indicating poor academic advising as a reason for not returning. In addition, significant between-group differences were found for international and female students, indicating unsatisfying interactions with faculty as a reason for not returning. Although not significant, there were compelling trends found that indicate unsatisfactory experiences with advising and interactions with faculty that are worth exploring in future studies.

description: We show that band topology can dramatically change the photophysics of two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors. For systems in which states near the band extrema are of multiple orbitals character and the spinors describing the orbital components (pseudospins) pick up nonzero winding numbers (topological invariants) around the extremal k-point, the optical strength and nature (i.e., helicity) of the excitonic states are dictated by the optical matrix element winding number, a unique and heretofore unrecognized characteristic. We illustrate these findings in three gapped graphene systems - monolayer graphene with inequivalent sublattices and biased bi- and tri-layer graphene, where the pseudospin textures manifest into a unique optical matrix element winding pattern associated with different valley and photon circular polarization. This winding-number physics leads to novel exciton series and optical selection rules, with each valley hosting multiple bright excitons coupled to light of different helicity. This valley-exciton selective circular dichroism can be unambiguously detected using optical spectroscopy.

description: We consider two issues in the DT model of quantum gravity. First, it is shown that the triangulation space for D>3 is dominated by triangulations containing a single singular (D-3)-simplex composed of vertices with divergent dual volumes. Second we study the ergodicity of current simulation algorithms. Results from runs conducted close to the phase transition of the four-dimensional theory are shown. We see no strong indications of ergodicity br eaking in the simulation and our data support recent claims that the transition is most probably first order. Furthermore, we show that the critical properties of the system are determined by the dynamics of remnant singular vertices.

description: With the upcoming large-scale surveys like LSST, we expect to find approximately $10^5$ strong gravitational lenses among data of many orders of magnitude larger. In this scenario, the usage of non-automated techniques is too time-consuming and hence impractical for science. For this reason, machine learning techniques started becoming an alternative to previous methods. In our previous work, we proposed a new machine learning architecture based on the principle of self-attention, trained to find strong gravitational lenses on simulated data from the Bologna Lens Challenge. Self-attention-based models have clear advantages compared to simpler CNNs and highly competing performance in comparison to the current state-of-art CNN models. We apply the proposed model to the Kilo Degree Survey, identifying some new strong lens candidates. However, these have been identified among a plethora of false positives, which made the application of this model not so advantageous. Therefore, throughout this paper, we investigate the pitfalls of this approach, and possible solutions, such as transfer learning, are proposed.

Accreting CO material onto ONe white dwarfs towards accretion-induced collapse

description: The final outcomes of accreting ONe white dwarfs (ONe WDs) have been studied for several decades, but there are still some issues not resolved. Recently, some studies suggested that the deflagration of oxygen would occur for accreting ONe WDs with Chandrasekhar masses. In this paper, we aim to investigate whether ONe WDs can experience accretion-induced collapse (AIC) or explosions when their masses approach the Chandrasekhar limit. Employing the stellar evolution code modules for experiments in stellar astrophysics (MESA), we simulate the long-term evolution of ONe WDs by accreting CO material. The ONe WDs undergo weak multicycle carbon flashes during the mass-accretion process, leading to the mass increase of the WDs. We found that different initial WD masses and mass-accretion rates have influence on the evolution of central density and temperature. However, the central temperature cannot reach the explosive oxygen ignition temperature due to the neutrino cooling. This work implies that the final outcome of accreting ONe WDs is electron-capture induced collapse rather than thermonuclear explosion.

Year: 2010
Subjects: Cattle -- Diseases

description: Mannheimia haemolytica is the primary bacterial pathogen of bovine pneumonic pasteurellosis, an economically important disease of cattle worldwide. Leukotoxin (Lkt) produced by M. haemolytica is the major virulence factor of this organism. The cytolytic activity of Lkt is specific for ruminant leukocytes. Lkt utilizes CD18, the [beta] subunit of [beta]2-integrins, as its receptor on ruminant leukocytes. Previously, our laboratory mapped the Lkt-binding domain to lie between amino acids (aa) 1-291 of CD18. Therefore, the next logical step was to identify the precise Lkt binding site within this domain and to determine whether co-administration of CD18 peptide analogs would inhibit / mitigate M. haemolytica-caused lung injury. In this study, by using synthetic peptides spanning aa1-291 of bovine CD18 in Lkt-induced cytolysis assays, the precise binding site of Lkt was mapped to aa 5-17 of ruminant CD18. Surprisingly, all the aa of this peptide belong to the predicted signal peptide of CD18. This observation led to the finding that the signal peptide of ruminant CD18 is not cleaved, and that the intact signal peptide renders ruminants susceptible to M. haemolytica Lkt. Site-directed mutagenesis of a single aa in the signal peptide resulted in the cleavage of signal peptide and abrogation of Lkt-induced cytolysis of target cells. This finding indicates that engineering cattle and other ruminants to contain this mutation would provide a novel technology to render them less susceptible to pneumonic pasteurellosis and concomitant economic losses. The peptide spanning aa 5-17 (P17) was used in a calf challenge study which was designed as a "proof of concept" experiment. Even though the difference in percent volume of lungs exhibiting gross pneumonic lesions between P17-inoculated calves and control peptide-inoculated calves was not statistically significant, M. haemolytica isolated from the lungs of P17-inoculated calves was 100- to 1000-fold less than those from the control peptide-inoculated calves, suggesting that P17 reduced leukotoxic activity in the lungs which enhanced bacterial clearance by phagocytes. It is likely that prolonging the presence and activity of CD18 peptide analog in the lungs, for example by means of a nanoparticle delivery system such as dextran nanospheres, would enhance its protective activity.
Attraction effects in decision making with multiple decoys under hot and cold cognitive loads

Subjects: Decision making -- Psychological aspects

description: The current study examines attraction effects, in which the addition of an asymmetrically dominated decoy can reverse preferences in decision making tasks requiring tradeoffs. Two experiments extend previous research by examining the influence of asymmetrically dominated decoys under different cognitive loads. These experiments also introduce a multiple-decoy decision making task design allowing for within-subject examination of preference reversals (and cognitive load) in a single task. The first experiment investigated rate of preference reversals under "cold" cognitive loads, requiring participants to hold random strings of letters active in memory while making preference decisions. The second experiment is an exploratory look at the role of emotional information in attraction effects by manipulating the affective nature of information held active in memory ("hot" cognitive loads). Attraction preference reversals were demonstrated in the multiple-decoy, within-subjects decision task, which shows that decoys can change preference for options even after preference decisions have previously been made, but load manipulations did not impact rates of attraction reversals in either experiment. Implications for dual process model explanations of attraction effects are discussed.
Substructure and the Cusp and Fold Relations

description: Gravitational lensing of a background source by a foreground galaxy lens occasionally produces four images of the source. The cusp and the fold relations impose conditions on the ratios of magnifications of these four-image lenses. In this theoretical investigation, we explore the sensitivity of these relations to the presence of substructure in the lens. Starting with a smooth lens potential, we add varying amounts of substructure, while keeping the source position fixed, and find that the fold relation is a more robust indicator of substructure than the cusp relation for the images. This robustness is independent of the detailed spatial distribution of the substructure, as well as of the ellipticity of the lensing potential and the presence of external shear.

description: Liquids near the glass transition exhibit dynamical heterogeneity, i.e. local relaxation rates fluctuate strongly over space and time. Here we introduce a simple continuum model that allows for quantitative predictions for the correlators describing these fluctuations. We find remarkable agreement of the model predictions for the dynamic susceptibility $χ_4(t)$ with numerical results for a binary hard-sphere liquid and for a Kob-Andersen Lennard-Jones mixture. Under this model, the lifetime $τ_{\rm ex}$ of the heterogeneities has little effect on the position $t = t_4 \sim τ_α$ of the peak of $χ_4(t)$, but it controls the decay of $χ_4(t)$ after the peak, and we show how to estimate it from this decay.

description: Introducción: El Trastorno por Déficit de Atención e Hiperactividad (TDAH), así como cualquier otro trastorno mental, se encuentra en constante evolución desde sus primeras descripciones, resultado de la evidencia actual en relación con su etiología, presentación clínica y tratamiento; es ahora definido como un trastorno neuroconductual o del neuro- desarrollo que se caracteriza por un patrón persistente de falta de atención o hiperactividad y ocurre en más de un entorno (por ejemplo, el hogar, la escuela, cuando se está con amigos u otros entornos sociales). Es uno de los padecimientos más importantes de la consulta psiquiátrica infantil, con una prevalencia hasta del 50%. Su prevalencia mundial oscila alrededor del 4-15% con un impacto epidemiológico en las áreas académica, social y familiar, matizado por condiciones socioculturales. Objetivo: Se requieren criterios diagnósticos adecuados para la etapa adolescente y adulta. También habrá que evaluar la presencia de comorbilidad y proporcionar a los pacientes el tratamiento óptimo. Métodos: Con el fin de lograr una mayor comprensión del constructo sobre el TDAH, se realizó una búsqueda de la información disponible para un mejor abordaje de esta patología. Resultados: Una vez realizada una extensa revisión de la literatura, los autores concluyeron que se deben homogeneizar los criterios diagnósticos del TDAH, reforzar las actividades orientadas a detectar comorbilidades, facilitar los procesos de referencia con los especialistas, y la educación de profesionales de la salud en primer y segundo nivel de atención, así como a profesores y padres de familia. Conclusiones: La correcta evaluación, detección y referencia oportuna, así como proponer el mejor tratamiento dispo- nible al alcance de los pacientes, es fundamental para prevenir las comorbilidades asociadas al TDAH, sin olvidar que es un trastorno de etiología multifactorial y debe manejarse como y tal.

description: Nuclear reactors represent a promising neutrino source for CE$ν$NS (coherent-elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering) searches. However, reactor sites also come with high ambient neutron flux. Neutron capture-induced nuclear recoils can create a spectrum that strongly overlaps the CE$ν$NS signal for recoils $\lesssim$\,100\,eV for nuclear reactor measurements in silicon or germanium detectors. This background can be particularly critical for low-power research reactors providing a moderate neutrino flux. In this work we quantify the impact of this background and show that, for a measurement 10\,m from a 1\,MW reactor, the effective thermal neutron flux should be kept below $\sim$~7$\times$~10$^{-4}$\,n/cm$^2$s so that the CE$ν$NS events can be measured at least at a 5$σ$ level with germanium detectors in 100~kg\,yr exposure time. This flux corresponds to 60\% of the sea-level flux but needs to be achieved in a nominally high-flux (reactor) environment. Improved detector resolution can help the measurements, but the thermal flux is the key parameter for the sensitivity of the experiment. For silicon detectors, the constraint is even stronger and thermal neutron fluxes must be near an order of magnitude lower. This constraint highlights the need of an effective thermal neutron mitigation strategy for future low threshold CE$ν$NS searches. In particular, the neutron capture-induced background can be efficiently reduced by active veto systems tagging the deexcitation gamma following the capture.

Regulation of T3SS1 genes in Vibrio parahaemolyticus and its involvement in pathogenesis
Creators: name: Zhou, Xiaohui
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2008
Subjects: Vibrio parahaemolyticus -- Pathogenesis

description: Vibrio parahaemolyticus is a Gram-negative bacterium belonging to the family that causes cholera. Genome annotation showed that V. parahaemolyticus harbors two chromosomes and each chromosome encodes a type III secretion system (T3SS1 and T3SS2).
description: T3SS1 induces cytotoxicity in mammalian epithelial cells. We showed that V. parahaemolyticus strain NY-4 was able to induce cell death in both HeLa and U937 cell lines via a T3SS1-dependent mechanism. The mechanism of cell death involves formation of a pore structure in the surface of infected HeLa and U937 cells as demonstrated by cellular swelling, uptake of cell membrane-impermeable dye, and protection of cytotoxicity by osmoprotectant (PEG3350). Poly ADP ribose polymerase (PARP) was not cleaved. T3SS1 induced-cytotoxicity was not inhibited by addition of the pan-caspase inhibitor zVAD or caspase-1 inhibitor Ac-YVAD-CHO. DNA fragmentation was not evident following infection and autophagic vacuoles were not observed by monodansylcadaverine staining. We conclude that T3SS1 of V. parahaemolyticus strain NY-4 induced a mode of cell death consistent with oncosis. v Genes encoding T3SSs are normally activated when bacteria contact host cells or are grown under certain conditions. We found that a subset of ten T3SS1 genes are transcribed when V. parahaemolyticus is grown in tissue culture medium (DMEM), while transcription of these genes (except exsD) is minimal upon growth in Luria-Bertani-Salt (LB-S). Transcription of T3SS1 genes and cytotoxicity towards HeLa cells was prevented by deletion of exsA while complementation with exsA restored these traits. Over-expression of ExsA in the wild-type strain, NY-4, activated the transcription of T3SS1 genes when bacteria were grown in LB-S. Deletion of the exsD permitted the transcription of T3SS1 genes when bacteria were grown in the LB-S medium and complementation with the wild-type exsD gene blocked transcription of T3SS1 genes. Over-expression of ExsD in NY-4 prevented the transcription of T3SS1 gene when bacteria were grown in DMEM. Purified ExsA protein binds a novel motif in the upstream region of vp1668 and vp1687 indicating that ExsA interacts directly with the promoter sequences of T3SS1 genes. ExsA positively regulates the expression and secretion of Vp1656 while ExsD negatively regulates the expression and secretion of Vp1656.

The importance of ecological context for correctional treatment programs
Creators: name: Wright, Kevin Andrew
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2010
Subjects: Correctional psychology

description: The recent resurgence of support for offender rehabilitation as a guiding correctional philosophy has led to an increased emphasis on correctional program integrity. Treatment programs are now being evaluated and tailored in accordance with the principles of effective intervention, and research indicates that treatment program integrity is strongly linked with the magnitude of a program's "treatment effects." What is not known, however, is the extent to which ecological characteristics such as level of concentrated disadvantage influence treatment program quality. The failure to evaluate treatment programs in conjunction with the contexts in which they operate may cause us to miss important structural components associated with "what works" in offender rehabilitation. The present dissertation seeks to fill this gap in the literature by examining the impact of environmental characteristics on treatment program integrity and corresponding success in reducing recidivism.

Development of a 3D microstructure sensitive crystal plasticity model for aluminum
Creators: name: Alankar, Alankar
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2010
Subjects: Aluminum -- Computer simulation

description: A dislocation density based crystal plasticity finite element model (CPFEM) has been developed in which different dislocation densities evolve on all octahedral slip systems in aluminum. Based upon the kinematics of crystal deformation and dislocation interaction laws, dislocation generation and annihilation are modeled. Dislocation densities evolve in form of closed loops and are tracked as state variables in the model, leading to spatially inhomogeneous dislocation densities that show patterning in the dislocation structures. A generalized Taylor equation is used as the hardening law in which hardening coefficients are based on the reactions between dislocations on co-planar and non-planar slip systems. The hardening coefficients for reactions involving latent slip systems are determined using 3D discrete dislocation dynamics. The model is validated using distinct hardening behavior of {100} and {111} single crystals of aluminum. The phenomenon of overshooting in aluminum is predicted using the model. Effect of collinear interactions of dislocations is shown to enhance the overshooting behavior. Evolution of crystallographic texture during plane strain deformation of polycrystalline aluminum is predicted. The crystallographic texture shows characteristic texture components observed in the rolling texture in the experiments reported in the literature. Description of dislocation densities is presented in form of pole figures along with evolution of crystallographic texture which shows increasing heterogeneity in microstructure with increasing deformation. Simulations of plane strain deformation on bicrystals are performed which predict rotations of crystallites during deformation and orientation spread at the final stage of deformation reasonably well as compared with the experimental observation. Similar studies are done for more complex grain topology in 2D columnar multicrystals. Overall, the model predicts heterogeneous evolution of accumulated plastic strain which is found to be consistent with the accumulated dislocation density, shear strain, dislocation density evolution rate and the Taylor factor in the corresponding grains.

description: The Caminos Program works with licensed Spanish speaking child care providers in Washington State. They have one main goal: to improve school readiness for children. To achieve this goal, Caminos and their partners aim to 1) improve the literacy levels of child care providers, and 2) improve the quality of care given by the providers to the children they serve. The project currently includes 35 active Latina child care providers; of the families with children in their care, many receive subsidized child care through the Department of Social and Health Services. Using a multiple literacies framework, this study explored the literacy goals of stakeholders for the child care providers as well as how these goals are being addressed through the current educational model provided by Caminos and collaborating agencies. The researcher reviewed archival data collected by the agencies, including state compliance violations, home visit forms, and surveys. Additional data collected and analyzed included demographics, participant observation, and interviews. Qualitative analysis methods were used to analyze the data and provide a rich description. The results indicate that although the program can have success with some providers, each participant's opportunities are unique as she must meet the continued literacy demands to believe, protect, teach, and manage.

description: A key feature of federated learning (FL) is to preserve the data privacy of end users. However, there still exist potential privacy leakage in exchanging gradients under FL. As a result, recent research often explores the differential privacy (DP) approaches to add noises to the computing results to address privacy concerns with low overheads, which however degrade the model performance. In this paper, we strike the balance of data privacy and efficiency by utilizing the pervasive social connections between users. Specifically, we propose SCFL, a novel Social-aware Clustered Federated Learning scheme, where mutually trusted individuals can freely form a social cluster and aggregate their raw model updates (e.g., gradients) inside each cluster before uploading to the cloud for global aggregation. By mixing model updates in a social group, adversaries can only eavesdrop the social-layer combined results, but not the privacy of individuals. We unfold the design of SCFL in three steps.i) Stable social cluster formation. Considering users' heterogeneous training samples and data distributions, we formulate the optimal social cluster formation problem as a federation game and devise a fair revenue allocation mechanism to resist free-riders. ii) Differentiated trust-privacy mapping}. For the clusters with low mutual trust, we design a customizable privacy preservation mechanism to adaptively sanitize participants' model updates depending on social trust degrees. iii) Distributed convergence}. A distributed two-sided matching algorithm is devised to attain an optimized disjoint partition with Nash-stable convergence. Experiments on Facebook network and MNIST/CIFAR-10 datasets validate that our SCFL can effectively enhance learning utility, improve user payoff, and enforce customizable privacy protection.

description: The tidal disruption of a star by a supermassive black hole can result in transient radio emission. The electrons producing these synchrotron radio flares could either be accelerated inside a relativistic jet or externally by shocks resulting from an outflow interacting with the circumnuclear medium. Until now, evidence for the internal emission mechanism has been lacking; nearly all tidal disruption flare studies have adopted the external shock model to explain the observed properties of radio flares. Here we report a result that presents a challenge to external emission models: we discovered a cross-correlation between the soft X-ray (0.3-1 keV) and 16 GHz radio flux of the tidal disruption flare ASASSN-14li. Variability features in the X-ray light curve appear again in the radio light curve, but after a time lag of about 13 days. This demonstrates that soft X-ray emitting accretion disk regulates the radio emission. This coupling appears to be inconsistent with all previous external emission models for this source but is naturally explained if the radio emission originates from a freely expanding jet. We show that emission internal to an adiabatically expanding jet can also reproduce the observed evolution of the radio spectral energy distribution. Furthermore, both the correlation between X-ray and radio luminosity as well as our radio spectral modeling imply an approximately linear coupling between the accretion rate and jet power.

description: We study the discrimination of von Neumann measurements in the scenario when we are given a reference measurement and some other measurement. The aim of the discrimination is to determine whether the other measurement is the same as the first one. We consider the cases when the reference measurement is given without the classical description and when its classical description is known. Both cases are studied in the symmetric and asymmetric discrimination setups. Moreover, we provide optimal certification schemes enabling us to certify a known quantum measurement against the unknown one.

Healthy lifestyle, disease prevention and health care utilization

Subjects: Medical economics

description: This dissertation consists of three independent but related essays in the field of health economics. The two main focus areas of my dissertation include prevention through healthy lifestyle and dementia caregiving in the United States-implications for long-term care decisions. The first essay presents a theoretical characterization of individual investments in self-protection that mitigates the risk of future ill health and the interaction between market insurance and self-protection in reducing uncertain financial losses. It also examines the role of self-insurance (through saving) in offsetting future health costs. The results suggest that self-protection can be a substitute or complement for market insurance, and self- insurance and market insurance can coexist in lowering the severity of a potential future loss. The findings of this paper have implications for policymakers who want to encourage self-protective behavior to reduce the burdens of chronic and preventable illnesses. The second essay examines a set of lifestyle characteristics that are potential protective or risk factors for dementia and other cognitive impairments among older individuals in the U.S. The use of instrumental variables technique provides evidence in favor of a causal relationship between education and the risk of dementia. From a policy perspective the causality question is important for evaluation of the effectiveness of public expenditures on education. Some important lifestyle related risk factors are advancing age, an incidence of stroke, and a specific genetic make up. The final essay analyzes a sequence of individual characteristics of patients and family caregivers that jointly predict the optimal mix of informal and formal health care services utilized by dementia patients in this country. In addition, this study investigates the effect of a caregiver's satisfactions and gratifications on the provision of informal and formal care services. Results indicate that a measure of "altruism" is associated with an increased level of informal care and delays institutionalization. A patient's need for supervision help is an important predictor for both informal and all types of formal care services. These findings have profound social and health implications for extending publicly funded long-term care (LTC) resources and developing appropriate intervention policies to promote the well-being of patients and caregivers.
The Spectroscopic Properties of Bright Extragalactic Planetary Nebulae

description: The properties of bright extragalactic planetary nebulae are reviewed based upon the results of low and high resolution spectroscopy. It is argued that bright extragalactic planetary nebulae from galaxies (or subsystems) with and without star formation have different distributions of central star temperature and ionization structure. As regards the chemical compositions, oxygen and neon are generally found to be unchanged as a result of the evolution of the stellar progenitors. Nitrogen enrichment may occur as a result of the evolution of the progenitors of bright planetary nebulae in all stellar populations, though this enrichment may be (more) random in old stellar populations. Helium abundances appear to be influenced by the chemical evolution of the host galaxy, with planetary nebulae in dwarf spheroidals having systematically elevated abundances. Neither the age nor the metallicity of the progenitor stellar population has a strong effect upon the kinematics observed for nebular shells. Both the range of expansion velocites, 8-28 km/s, and the typical expansion velocity, ~18 km/s, are found to be relatively constant in all galaxies. On the other hand, bright planetary nebulae in the bulge of M31 have systematically higher expansion velocities than their counterparts in M31's disk. The expansion velocities show no trend with nebular Hbeta luminosity, apart from a lack of large expansion velocities at the highest luminosities (the youngest objects), but appear to correlate with the 5007/Hbeta ratio, at least until this ratio saturates. These results suggest a link between the evolution of the nebular shells and central stars of bright extragalactic planetary nebulae.

description: My grandad is 85 now and these are his memories of the war:He lived in Philip Street, Bolton. He had an air raid shelter in the backyard; three sides had bricks and on top was concrete. When he heard the air raid sirens he had to go in the shelter or under the stairs and had to turn all the lights off. He remembers it being really cold. He could see the barrage balloons in the sky. These were in Manchester about 10-15 miles away. Bombs landed in Bolton and demolished houses. He remembers ration books for food and clothes. For a treat, he went to the ice cream shop but there was no ice cream, just the cone. There was no chocolate and no eggs, just powdered eggs. Rations went on for years after the war.He remembers there was a big street party for VE Day.

description: We present a framework for analyzing Mott insulators using a material-based tight-binding model. We start with a realistic multiorbital Hubbard model and derive an effective model for the localized electrons through the second-order perturbation theory with respect to intersite hopping. This effective model, known as the Kugel-Khomskii model, is described by SU($N$) generators, where $N$ is the number of localized states. We solve this model by the mean-field theory that takes local correlations into account and reveal spin-orbital ordered states. To include spatial correlations, we apply the classical Monte Carlo based on the path-integral approach with SU($N$) coherent states, and also derive the equation of motion for spin-orbital degrees of freedom. Our approach is applicable to any Mott insulator with reasonable computational cost. The $5d$-pyrochlore oxide is used here as demonstration.
