description: Noise and decoherence are major obstacles to the implementation of Josephson junction qubits in quantum computing. Recent experiments suggest that two level systems (TLS) in the oxide tunnel barrier are a source of decoherence. We explore two decoherence mechanisms in which these two level systems lead to the decay of Rabi oscillations that result when Josephson junction qubits are subjected to strong microwave driving. (A) We consider a Josephson qubit coupled resonantly to a two level system, i.e., the qubit and TLS have equal energy splittings. As a result of this resonant interaction, the occupation probability of the excited state of the qubit exhibits beating. Decoherence of the qubit results when the two level system decays from its excited state by emitting a phonon. (B) Fluctuations of the two level systems in the oxide barrier produce fluctuations and 1/f noise in the Josephson junction critical current I_o. This in turn leads to fluctuations in the qubit energy splitting that degrades the qubit coherence. We compare our results with experiments on Josephson junction phase qubits.

subject: Analyze firm¿s environment

description: This master thesis describes a typical way of how an innovation strategy can be build up within an organization and mainly on which major cornerstones a chief innovation officer or other relevant people in a company must focus on to increase the competitiveness of an organization. Starting with a basic descriptions of what innovation is and what different kinds are available, the thesis concentrates strongly on different approaches of innovation strategies since this is a core question to each organization. Whether one organization want to focus on a more market oriented strategy, others would like to use a more technological oriented strategy to increase their competitiveness. Nevertheless, all of them can be true and have to be taken into consideration which is a major part of the thesis. After talking about different orientations it goes directly into a comprehensive description of the main steps to develop a strong and sustainable innovation strategy that perfectly fits to the organization. It focuses on a top-down method from defining a vision, followed by setting up the fundamental growth strategy and finally over several other steps to define your future core competencies and setup your implementation plan. To be able to go through all major steps of developing an innovation strategy several tools are needed to analyze your external and internal environment. Tools like Porter-s five forces, stakeholder analysis, value chain analysis and finally the resulting SWOT helps to deeper understand each component of a department or the whole organization and how it reacts within their environment. At the very first time of implementing an innovation strategy it is advisable to develop a control management system that helps to get the big picture of all your innovation relevant activities over time and how the strategy is on track. Based on this mass of information everything was applied to a practical example of a wholesaler in the electrical market. Starting from analyzing the whole situation, understand the market, the customers and competitors it was a goal to identify business and technological trends and define the impact to the existing organization. For those trends that had the biggest impact on the organization a compact business opportunity including definition of future core competencies is the result of this comprehensive master thesis.

The canary in the coal mine : Arctic Indigenous peoples and the POPs regime
Creators: name: Lasalle, Talusier Arbour
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis examines the particular role played by Arctic Indigenous peoples in the formation of a regime to address Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs). Starting with the premise that this non-state actor was influential enough to have its plight cited in the preamble of a global agreement on POPs, the thesis addresses the question of how and under what conditions this small group, devoid of any military, economic, or political power, could exert influence on the formation of institutions in international society. To do so, the thesis presents an argument based on regime analysis and norm dynamics that reveals the role played by norm entrepreneurs and lead states in the process of regime formation. This process is looked at in three stages: issue definition, fact-finding, and bargaining process. The thesis argues that following findings of POPs in their tissues, Canadian Arctic Indigenous peoples have voiced their concern in a way that evoked the norm of bodily harm to innocent. This allowed them to gamer the support of Canada, and led Arctic Indigenous peoples to foster the development of and participate in key scientific research programs that provided the rationale for action on POPs at the international level. Canada then used the plight of Arctic Indigenous peoples as a conveyor belt between science and policy to convince other states in various international forums. During the negotiation of a global agreement on POPs, Canadian Arctic Indigenous peoples’ organizations also used norms to frame their concern in an attempt to increase the likelihood of regime formation. The thesis does not pretend to explain the formation of a regime on POPs. Rather, using a framework for analyzing NGO influence in international environmental negotiations, it presents evidence to map out the process through which Arctic Indigenous peoples eventually managed to have the Arctic and the effect of POPs on its people and wildlife recognized in a global convention. Furthermore, at each stage of regime formation the analysis is supplemented with alternative explanations that delineate the extent to which Arctic Indigenous peoples were influential. The thesis offers a contribution to our understanding of how Indigenous peoples’ organizations manage to persuade states to take action on transboundary environmental problems.

description: Eggplant Solanum melongena L. is a member of the Solanaceae family. The plant will grow as a perennial in warm regions of the world but is cultured as an annual in cooler regions. Eggplant is thought to be native to India and China and is currently grown on a very limited commercial scale in the USA. Field testing on the culture, insect control, and yield of the Black Beauty variety of eggplant was conducted under Ohio growing conditions during the summer of 2000. Early season insect control was most critical. Several synthetic and botanical insecticides were utilized. Yields harvested from nine test plots were equivalent to approximately 12.25 tons/acre. This suggests there is great potential for producing eggplant on a commercial scale in Ohio during the summer growing season. Eggplant has been imported to the USA from Mexico and the Dominican Republic in the past. As changes occur in the size and composition of the human population in the USA, there may be increasing opportunities for Caribbean countries to produce eggplant for export to the USA, especially for the winter and spring season markets.

description: Christophene (Sechium edule) was osmotically dehydrated to produce a candied product. The christophene was blanched in hot water for 5 min followed by steam blanching for 5 min and then subjected to osmotic dehydration in various sugar solutions prepared to 30°Brix and increased daily for 3 days to 45°Brix, 60°Brix and 70°Brix. Final drying was at 68°C for 4 hours. Preliminary results indicated that products from 100% sucrose had a dull appearance with a coat of sugar while products in 100% glucose/fructose were sticky. In further work, peeled and un-peeled christophene cubes were soaked in 75% sucrose with 25% glucose/ fructose and un-peeled christophene to 50% sucrose with 50% glucose/fructose and 25% sucrose with 75% glucose/fructose. A product from 75% sucrose with 25% glucose/fructose had the best overall acceptability (liked slightly to moderately), lowest moisture content (10.5-15.2%) and had low microbial count (< 10 cfu g -1) after 21 days of storage at 19±1°C.

description: We discuss full-sky convolution of the instrumental beam with the CMB sky signal in CMB single-dish and interferometry experiments, using the method (Challinor et al. 2000) that the measured temperature and polarization anisotropies are defined globally on the group manifold of the three-dimensional rotation by means of Wigner D-functions. We re-derive the anisotropy and polarization correlation functions incorporated with asymmetric window functions, which are then explicitly calculated for a single-dish elliptical Gaussian beam and an interferometric Gaussian beam.

The expected kinematic matter dipole is robust against source evolution

description: Recent measurements using catalogues of quasars and radio galaxies have shown that the dipole anisotropy in the large-scale distribution of matter is about twice as large as is expected in the standard $Λ$CDM model, indeed in any cosmology based on the Friedman-Lemaître-Robertson-Walker (FLRW) metric. This expectation is based on the kinematic interpretation of the dipole anisotropy of the cosmic microwave background,~i.e. as arising due to our local peculiar velocity. The effect of aberration and Doppler boosting on the projected number counts on the sky of cosmologically distant objects in a flux-limited catalogue can then be calculated and confronted with observations. This fundamental consistency test of FLRW models proposed by Ellis\&Baldwin in 1984 was revisited recently arguing that redshift evolution of the sources can significantly affect the expected matter dipole. In this note we demonstrate that the Ellis\&Baldwin test is in fact robust to such effects, hence the $>5σ$ dipole anomaly uncovered recently remains an outstanding challenge to the $Λ$CDM model.

description: As part of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Advanced Life Support program, several crops are being studied for possible use in bioregenerative life support to provide a source of nutritious food for planetary human space exploration. Peanut (Arachis hypogea L.) is among the list of crops selected for space missions and is an excellent source of oil and protein. Tuskegee University is currently studying peanut growth, nutrition and physiology in controlled environments. For this research, plants were grown hydroponically using nutrient film technique (NFT). Peanuts are grown in a soil-less culture in narrow troughs, and there is an ongoing search for new and improved, high yielding cultivars that are adaptable to growing in NFT. The ideal cultivar would be one with an erect growth habit, concentrating its gynophore and ultimately, pod production around the roots. The objective of this study was to evaluate Egyptian peanut cultivars to ascertain their possible use in future space missions. Two Egyptian cultivars, 'Giza 5' and 'Hybrid 8' were compared to the control 'Georgia Red'. Hybrid 8 produced the highest foliage dry weight when compared to Giza 5 and Georgia Red (224.9 vs. 163.1 and 92.9 g/plant, respectively). The same trend followed root dry weights for the three cultivars (16.1, 12.7 and 4.1 g/plant). Pod count, pod weight and mature seed weights were highest for Giza 5 and lowest for Hybrid 8. However, there were no significant difference between the harvest index for Georgia Red and Giza 5 but both were significantly higher than Hybrid 8 (0.16 and 0.18 vs. 0.05). Based on this study, it is recommended not to use Hybrid 8 in further hydroponics studies but Giza 5 appears to be a suitable cultivar for the NFT system.

description: In recent years, a lot of effort has been put in describing the hydrodynamic behavior of integrable systems. In this paper, we describe such picture for the Volterra lattice. Specifically, we are able to explicitly compute the susceptibility matrix and the current-field correlation matrix in terms of the density of states of the Volterra lattice endowed with a Generalized Gibbs ensemble. Furthermore, we apply the theory of linear Generalized Hydrodynamics to describe the Euler scale behavior of the correlation functions. We anticipate that the solution to the Generalized Hydrodynamics equations develops shocks at $ξ_0=\frac{x}{t}$; so this linear approximation does not fully describe the behavior of correlation functions. Intrigued but this fact, we performed several numerical investigations which show that, exactly when the solution to the hydrodynamic equations develops shock, the correlation functions show an highly oscillatory behavior. In view of this empirical observation, we believe that at this point $ξ_0$ the diffusive contribution are not sub-leading corrections to the ballistic transport, but they are of the same order.

Why Study Noise due to Two Level Systems: A Suggestion for Experimentalists

Subjects: subject: Disordered Systems and Neural Networks (cond-mat.dis-nn)

description: Noise is often considered to be a nuisance. Here we argue that it can be a useful probe of fluctuating two level systems in glasses. It can be used to: (1) shed light on whether the fluctuations are correlated or independent events; (2) determine if there is a low temperature glass or phase transition among interacting two level systems, and if the hierarchical or droplet model can be used to describe the glassy phase; and (3) find the lower bound of the two level system relaxation rate without going to ultralow temperatures. Finally we point out that understanding noise due to two level systems is important for technological applications such as quantum qubits that use Josephson junctions.

description: Modifications to electrodynamics from physics beyond the Standard Model can be tested to a high accuracy. Here we use two setups to place bounds on hidden photons, an Abelian boson kinetically mixed with the photon. The first setup involves atomic force microscope measurements, originally designed to study the Casimir effect at sub-$μ$m distances. The second setup consists of two concentric metal shells with the outer one exposed to a high voltage. By measuring the potential difference between the shells it is possible to test Coulomb's law. The limits obtained here cover regions already excluded, in particular by astrophysical observations, but provide a more direct, laboratory-based confirmation of these bounds.

description: Brazilian coffee farmers use future markets in a very restricted way, which does not follow the high optimal hedge ratio observed in minimum variance models. Reasons for the low use are associated to producers and their business characteristics, their preferences about risk management tool and behavioral attitudes. In this context, the aim of this study was to examine the main factors which influence derivatives use among Brazilian coffee growers. Initially, the optimal hedge ratio was calculated with Myers and Thompson (1989) method, considering BM&FBOVESPA and ICE Futures (New York) markets. The ratio had values higher than 50%. After that, through surveys with 373 coffee farmers, it was observed that only 12.9% of the sample reported knowing and using futures as a way to manage the price risk. The hedge ratio adopted by farmers, on average, was below 50%. In a third step, a logit model was applied for data. Most important factors which explain the use of future contracts by coffee growers were risk aversion, size of production, level of understanding about future contracts and the level which farmers understand that future contracts enable the decrease of revenue fluctuation.

title: Model-Based Analysis of Role-Based Access Control
Creators: name: Montrieux, Lionel
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2013

description: Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) has been extensively studied. Many directions have been explored, sometimes with the dream of providing a fully integrated approach for designers, developers and other stakeholders to create, reason about and modify models representing software systems. Most, but not all, of the research in MDE has focused on general-purpose languages and models, such as Java and UML. Domain-specific and cross-cutting concerns, such as security, are increasingly essential parts of a software system, but are only treated as second-class citizens in the most popular modelling languages. Efforts have been made to give security, and in particular access control, a more prominent place in MDE, but most of these approaches require advanced knowledge in security, programming (often declarative), or both, making them difficult to use by less technically trained stakeholders. In this thesis, we propose an approach to modelling, analysing and automatically fixing role-based access control (RBAC) that does not require users to write code or queries themselves. To this end, we use two UML profiles and associated OCL constraints that provide the modelling and analysis features. We propose a taxonomy of OCL constraints and use it to define a partial order between categories of constraints, that we use to propose strategies to speed up the models’ evaluation time. Finally, by representing OCL constraints as constraints on a graph, we propose an automated approach for generating lists of model changes that can be applied to an incorrect model in order to fix it. All these features have been fully integrated into a UML modelling IDE, IBM Rational Software Architect.

description: This paper aims to understand how the structures of governance, settled by strategic resources, may affect responsiveness to environmental laws, the relations of producers and processors, in distilleries of Paraná. From a complementary perspective of Transaction Costs Economics (TCE) and Resource Based View (RBV) approaches, a qualitative and descriptive research, with cross-sectional and longitudinal perspective, was conducted. The study involved semi-structured interviews with five managers and agricultural producers engaged in distilleries located in Paraná state. Results indicated partnership in the lease form as the most appropriate to optimize the responsiveness to environmental laws, because of the total control obtained regarding the manufacturing process. The farming partnership and supply contract may require more time, because involves the coordination of the relationship of the distillery with its contractors. Complementarity between governance structures (TCE) and strategic resources (RBV), the focus of this study is ratified from the consideration that internal resources and capabilities of distilleries, such as location, distance, knowledge and others influence the choice of more vertically integrated governance structures. These, in turn, are chosen to explore, protect and obtain competitive advantage through the control over those resources.

description: An analytic method to calculate the vortex number on a torus is constructed, focusing on analytic vortex solutions to the Chern-Simons-Higgs theory, whose governing equation is the so-called Jackiw-Pi equation. The equation is one of the integrable vortex equations and is reduced to Liouville's equation. The requirement of continuity of the Higgs field strongly restricts the characteristics and the fundamental domain of the vortices. Also considered are the decompactification limits of the vortices on a torus, in which "flux loss" phenomena occasionally occur.

description: In this paper we consider the computation of H-infinity norm of retarded time-delay systems with discrete pointwise state delays. It is well known that in the finite dimensional case H-infinity norm of a system is computed using the connection between the singular values of the transfer function and the imaginary axis eigenvalues of an Hamiltonian matrix. We show a similar connection between the singular values of a transfer function of a time-delay system and the imaginary axis eigenvalues of an infinite dimensional operator $\mathcal{L}_ξ$. Using spectral methods, this linear operator is approximated with a matrix. The approximate H-infinity norm of the time-delay system is calculated using the connection between the imaginary eigenvalues of this matrix and the singular values of a finite dimensional approximation of the time-delay system. Finally the approximate results are corrected by solving a set of equations which are obtained from the reformulation of the eigenvalue problem for $\mathcal{L}_ξ$ as a finite dimensional nonlinear eigenvalue problem.

description: This paper presents some evidences of changes which are occurring in the apparatus of public food wholesaler in Brazil addressing the evolution, characteristics and functions of the current structure of the Brazilian wholesale supply. The paper discusses some considerations regarding the historical context verified at the time of creation of the National Wholesale Market System (Sinac) in the 70s and the emergence of new models for the wholesale markets from the 80s. It is an analysis based on observation data collected with 29 public wholesalers in Brazil in 2009 with information on origin and destination of traded horticultural, such as warehouses, from a significant sample. Systemic patterns can be observed through two aspects : the performance of economic activity of main Brazilian wholesalers warehouses and remaining functions of assembly and distribution of local and regional productions. We intend to prove that the group of governmental supply is very heterogeneous and that, in general terms, the dynamics of their growth is established “from outside to inside” – many of these devices do not play important roles as implementers of governmental policies for supplies.

description: Soft particles such as microgels and core-shell particles can undergo significant and anisotropic deformations when adsorbed to a liquid interface. This, in turn, leads to a complex phase behavior upon compression. Here we develop a multiscale framework to rationally link the molecular particle architecture to the resulting interfacial morphology and, ultimately, to the collective interfacial phase behavior, enabling us to identify the key single-particle properties underlying two-dimensional continuous, heterostructural, and isostructural solid-solid transitions. Our approach resolves existing discrepancies between experiments and simulations and thus provides a unifying framework to describe phase transitions in interfacial soft-particle systems. We establish proof-of-principle for our rational approach by synthesizing three different poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) soft-particle architectures, each of which corresponds to a different targeted phase behavior. In parallel, we introduce a versatile and highly efficient coarse-grained simulation method that adequately captures the qualitative key features of each soft-particle system; the novel ingredient in our simulation model is the use of auxiliary degrees of freedom to explicitly account for the swelling and collapse of the particles as a function of surface pressure. Notably, these combined efforts allow us to establish the first experimental demonstration of a heterostructural transition to a chain phase in a single-component system, as well as the first accurate in silico account of the two-dimensional isostructural transition. Overall, our multiscale framework provides a bridge between physicochemical soft-particle characteristics at the molecular- and nanoscale and the collective self-assembly phenomenology at the macroscale, paving the way towards novel materials with on-demand interfacial behavior.

description: Timely failure detection for bearings is of great importance to prevent economic loses in the industry. In this article we propose a method based on Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) to estimate the level of wear in bearings. First of all, an automatic labeling of the raw vibration data is performed to obtain different levels of bearing wear, by means of the Root Mean Square features along with the Shannon's entropy to extract features from the raw data, which is then grouped in seven different classes using the K-means algorithm to obtain the labels. Then, the raw vibration data is converted into small square images, each sample of the data representing one pixel of the image. Following this, we propose a CNN model based on the AlexNet architecture to classify the wear level and diagnose the rotatory system. To train the network and validate our proposal, we use a dataset from the center of Intelligent Maintenance Systems (IMS), and extensively compare it with other methods reported in the literature. The effectiveness of the proposed strategy proved to be excellent, outperforming other approaches in the state-of-the-art.

description: As an emerging computing paradigm, edge computing offers computing resources closer to the data sources, helping to improve the service quality of many real-time applications. A crucial problem is designing a rational pricing mechanism to maximize the revenue of the edge computing service provider (ECSP). However, prior works have considerable limitations: clients are static and are required to disclose their preferences, which is impractical in reality. However, previous works assume user privacy information to be known or consider the number of users in edge scenarios to be static. To address this issue, we propose a novel sequential computation offloading mechanism, where the ECSP posts prices of computing resources with different configurations to clients in turn. Clients independently choose which computing resources to purchase and how to offload based on their prices. Then Egret, a deep reinforcement learning-based approach that achieves maximum revenue, is proposed. Egret determines the optimal price and visiting orders online without considering clients' preferences. Experimental results show that the revenue of ECSP in Egret is only 1.29\% lower than Oracle and 23.43\% better than the state-of-the-art when the client arrives dynamically.

description: This study aims to analyze the socioeconomic determinants of children’s individual health state in the countryside of Brazil, using data from PNAD 2008. Probit and ordered probit were used in the analysis. Main results show that elements, such as better health of parents, higher income, higher information levels, access to high quality water, besides governmental policies, such as ProgramaSaúde da Família,are positively related with children’s health. Besides the negative effect of the poor socioeconomic conditions on health in childhood, it is known that worse health in childhood can generate, in the future, new poor socioeconomic conditions forthese children. Thus, this circle could be a mechanism of poverty perpetuation. Therefore, governmental policies which affect children’s health in a positive way can promote favorable resultsfor the population.
