description: Dark matter is poorly constrained by direct detection experiments at masses below 1 MeV. This is an important target for the next generation of experiments, and several methods have been proposed to probe this mass range. One class of such experiments will search for dark matter--electron recoils. However, simplified models with new light degrees of freedom coupled to electrons face significant pressure from cosmology, and the extent of these restrictions more generally is poorly understood. Here, we perform a systematic study of cosmological constraints on models with a heavy mediator in the context of an effective field theory. We include constraints from (i) disruption of primordial nucleosynthesis, (ii) overproduction of dark matter, and (iii) the effective number of neutrino species at recombination. We demonstrate the implications of our results for proposed electron recoil experiments, and highlight scenarios which may be amenable to direct detection.

 Remarks: Broun mentioned that he based this species on two specimens, one having been returned to Sydney W. Fulton. No specimens were located in the BMNH bearing an “Outram” locality label, but two were located with a “Taieri” label (more or less the same locality as Outram), one of which bears a handwritten determination label. A third specimen is presumably in the Otago Museum (OM), Dunedin, which is noted as a holotype by Harris (2007). This specimen was not confirmed by us due to restricted loaning policy by the OM, and is not considered a syntype until it can be examined. In order to stabilize this name, a lectotype is here designated from the material of Dryptops undosus.

description: The work presented here serves to document the results of a national survey of in excess of one hundred and forty classroom practitioners and middle leaders about the current situation of textiles technology within their place of work. (School, Academy). Areas such as technological content, where textiles is actually delivered within the curriculum, the level to which it is delivered and the duration throughout the curriculum were all covered within this study. With recent national discussion centred the introduction of the English Baccalaureate (E.Bacc.) and the place of Design and Technology within any ensuing curriculum, textiles technology is facing an uncertain future. The work present here shows that in many secondary education settings textiles is being moved into “Art and Design” and away from “Design and Technology”. The research presented here also illustrates that a majority of textiles teachers are passionate about resisting the move from Design and Technology into Art and Design. Further, it is acknowledged by many that there is a place for textiles within Art and Design, particularly in relation to surface embellishment techniques but there is strong opinion of a need to retain its place within Design and Technology to cover technological textiles including garment construction.

description: We demonstrate an interference method to determine the low-energy elastic scattering amplitudes of a quantum gas. We linearly accelerate two ultracold atomic clouds up to energies of 1.2 mK and observe the collision halo by direct imaging in free space. From the interference between $s$- and $d$- partial waves in the differential scattering pattern we extract the corresponding phase shifts. The method does not require knowledge of the atomic density. This allows us to infer accurate values for the $s$- and d-wave scattering amplitudes from the zero-energy limit up to the first Ramsauer minimum using only the Van der Waals $C_{6}$ coefficient as theoretical input. For the $^{87}$Rb triplet potential, the method reproduces the scattering length with an accuracy of 6%.

The solvents were These extracts were applied to determine their inhibitory effects against Phomopsis vexans. TLC of these extracts was done by using different pure and suitably mixed solvents.Growth inhibition test of Phomopsis vexans by each of these extracts in different solvents revealed different mode of action. Dichloromethane extract of garlic were found to be very satisfactory in inhibition (83.52-86.45 %).TLC of these extracts showed the presence of a number of compounds having very low to high polarity. Four single compounds were separated and tested against Phomopsis vexans individually. Among the separated compounds, three compounds P1B1, BlEi and E were completely inhibitory against Phomopsis vexans while the other compound P1133 had little inhibitory effect. The Rf values of TLC spots produced by different compounds present in garlic extract revealed their distinct polar and non polar nature. These studies lead us in near future to the elucidation of complete structure of these active compounds.
Cognitively-Inspired Model for Incremental Learning Using a Few Examples

description: Incremental learning attempts to develop a classifier which learns continuously from a stream of data segregated into different classes. Deep learning approaches suffer from catastrophic forgetting when learning classes incrementally, while most incremental learning approaches require a large amount of training data per class. We examine the problem of incremental learning using only a few training examples, referred to as Few-Shot Incremental Learning (FSIL). To solve this problem, we propose a novel approach inspired by the concept learning model of the hippocampus and the neocortex that represents each image class as centroids and does not suffer from catastrophic forgetting. We evaluate our approach on three class-incremental learning benchmarks: Caltech-101, CUBS-200-2011 and CIFAR-100 for incremental and few-shot incremental learning and show that our approach achieves state-of-the-art results in terms of classification accuracy over all learned classes.

description: The paper presented herein dealt with studies on genotype-environment interaction following genetic approach for grain yield and different sink characters in seven crosses (Balaka x Pavon, Gourav x Kanchan, Kanchan x Sonora, Gourav x Protiva, Kanchan x Pavon, Kanchan x Pavon, Sonora x Pavon) of spring wheat grown at BAU in the winter season of 2005. According to G x E interaction study on crosses genotype, environment and GxE interaction were significant for all the characters. Relative contribution of different parameters such as additive [d], dominance [h], environment ej, additive x env. gdj and dominance x env. ghj were determined for all the five characters studied. Most of the crosses for yield/plant showed incomplete dominance, while one cross (Gaurab x Protiva) showed overdominance of increasing allele and another one (Balaka x Pavon) showed overdominance of decreasing allele. The expression of heterosis for yield per plant in Gaurab x Kanchan was done away within adverse environment. Profound environmental effect was observed for days to 50% flowering, number of spikelets per spike, number of grains per spike, yield per plant and 100- grain weight. In general, hybrids were more reactive to the changes of environment than their parents for all the characters studied.

description: The centrality dependence of Xi^- and Lambda production in Au+Au interactions at E_lab=6 AGeV is studied within a microscopic transport approach. In line with recent data, a slight enhancement of the Xi^-/(Lambda+Sigma^0) ratio toward central collisions is found. It is demonstrated that the observed production of multiple strange baryons can be traced back to multi-step meson-baryon interactions in the late stages of the collisions. Therefore, the present analysis supports an interpretation of the observed Xi abundance in terms of hadronic re-scattering.

Radiation interception varied in various stages of rice growth in relation with leaf area index (LAI) and light extinction coefficient (k). Higher radiation interception was observed at 276 days of the year (DOY) when LAI was 5.24 and k value was 0.35. Linear relationship was found between cumulative total dry matter and cumulative intercepted photosynthetically active radiation. The mean radiation use efficiency (RUE) was 2.54.

description: We look into the $AdS$ black holes from two-dimensional gravity perspective. In this work, we extend the previous results of holographic renormalization group flows to dimensions two. By introducing a superpotential, we derive the flow equations in two-dimensional dilaton gravity. We find a quantity which monotonically decreases along flows and give some comments on holographic $c$-theorem. As examples, we show that recently studied supersymmetric $AdS$ black hole solutions generically dimensionally reduce to two-dimensional dilaton gravity, and obtain the flow equations for black hole solutions.

description: We present the first optimal power spectrum estimation and three dimensional deprojections for the dark and luminous matter and their cross correlations. The results are obtained using a new optimal fast estimator (Pen 2003) deprojected using minimum variance and SVD techniques. We show the resulting 3-D power spectra for dark matter and galaxies, and their covariance for the VIRMOS-DESCART weak lensing shear and galaxy data. The survey is most sensitive to nonlinear scales k_NL ~ 1 h Mpc^-1. On these scales, our 3-D power spectrum of dark matter is in good agreement with the RCS 3-D power spectrum found by (Hoekstra et al 2002). Our galaxy power is similar to that found by the 2MASS survey, and larger than that of SDSS, APM and RCS, consistent with the expected difference in galaxy population. We find an average bias b=1.24+/-0.18 for the I selected galaxies, and a cross correlation coefficient r=0.75+/-0.23. Together with the power spectra, these results optimally encode the entire two point information about dark matter and galaxies, including galaxy-galaxy lensing. We address some of the implications regarding galaxy halos and mass-to-light ratios. The best fit ``halo'' parameter h=r/b=0.57+/-0.16, suggesting that dynamical masses estimated using galaxies systematically underestimate total mass. Ongoing surveys, such as the Canada-France-Hawaii-Telescope-Legacy survey will significantly improve on the dynamic range, and future photometric redshift catalogs will allow tomography along the same principles.

description: One of the proposed channels of binary black hole mergers involves dynamical interactions of three black holes. In such scenarios, it is possible that all three black holes merge in a so-called hierarchical merger chain, where two of the black holes merge first and then their remnant subsequently merges with the remaining single black hole. Depending on the dynamical environment, it is possible that both mergers will appear within the observable time window. Here we perform a search for such merger pairs in the public available LIGO and Virgo data from the O1/O2 runs. Using a frequentist p-value assignment statistics we do not find any significant merger pair candidates, the most significant being GW170809-GW151012 pair. Assuming no observed candidates in O3/O4, we derive upper limits on merger pairs to be $\sim11-110\ {\rm year^{-1}Gpc^{-3}}$, corresponding to a rate that relative to the total merger rate is $\sim 0.1-1.0$. From this we argue that both a detection and a non-detection within the next few years can be used to put useful constraints on some dynamical progenitor models.

description: With a view to develop and establish- a protocol for rapid micropropagation of bamboo, root tip explants of Bambusa tulda were used. Root tip explants of Bambusa tulda were cultured in MS medium supplemented with different concentrations and combinations of 2,4-D and BAP. 2,4-D at 4 mgl.:1 in combination with BAP at 3 mgt:1 produced calli from root tip explants after 15 days of culture. Subsequently the calli were subcultured in the same medium containing different concentrations and combinations of 2,4-D and BAP. Use of 2,4-D at 3 mgl.:1 and BAP at 4 mg1:1 showed better performance than others. Green shoots were observed after 15 days of subculture and subsequent growth and development were also better in the same combination. After regeneration of shoots a rapid growth rate (1.508 mm day') was observed at 3 mgL.:1 2,4-D and 4 mg1:1 BAP. The developed shoots from root tip explants were then transferred to the same medium containing Indole acetic acid (IAA; 1mgL-1) for rooting. Rooting was absent in that medium.

description: We numerically investigate the impact of Coulomb collisions on the ion dynamics in high-$Z$, solid density caesium hydride and copper targets, irradiated by high-intensity ($I\approx2{-}5\times10^{20}{\rm\,Wcm^{-2}}$), ultrashort (${\sim}10{\rm\,fs}$), circularly polarized laser pulses, using particle-in-cell simulations. Collisions significantly enhance electron heating, thereby strongly increasing the speed of a shock wave launched in the laser-plasma interaction. In the caesium hydride target, collisions between the two ion species heat the protons to ${\sim}100{-}1000{\rm\,eV}$ temperatures. However, in contrast to previous work (A.E. Turrell etal., 2015 Nat. Commun. 6, 8905), this process happens in the upstream only, due to nearly total proton reflection. This difference is ascribed to distinct models used to treat collisions in dense/cold plasmas. In the case of a copper target, ion reflection can start as a self-amplifying process, bootstrapping itself. Afterwards, collisions between the reflected and upstream ions heat these two populations significantly. When increasing the pulse duration to $60{\rm\,fs}$, the shock front more clearly decouples from the laser piston, and so can be studied without direct interference from the laser. The shock wave formed at early times exhibits properties typical of both hydrodynamic and electrostatic shocks, including ion reflection. At late times, the shock is seen to evolve into a hydrodynamic blast wave.

description: Neural quantum states (NQS) are a promising approach to study many-body quantum physics. However, they face a major challenge when applied to lattice models: Convolutional networks struggle to converge to ground states with a nontrivial sign structure. We tackle this problem by proposing a neural network architecture with a simple, explicit, and interpretable phase ansatz, which can robustly represent such states and achieve state-of-the-art variational energies for both conventional and frustrated antiferromagnets. In the latter case, our approach uncovers low-energy states that exhibit the Marshall sign rule and are therefore inconsistent with the expected ground state. Such states are the likely cause of the obstruction for NQS-based variational Monte Carlo to access the true ground states of these systems. We discuss the implications of this observation and suggest potential strategies to overcome the problem.

description: An experiment was carried out at the Soil Science Field Laboratory of Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh during January to May 2006 to evaluate the effect of different organic sources of nitrogen on nutrient uptake by BRRI dhan 29 and on the fertility status of soil. The soil was silt loam having pH 6.48, organic matter 2.13%, total N 0.106%, available P 2.99 ppm, exchangeable K 0.116 me% and available S 20.58 ppm. The experiment was laid out in Randomized Complete Block Design with ten treatments and three replications. Poultry manure, cowdung, mustard oilcake, sesame oilcake, raintree, sissoo and acacia leaves were used as organic sources of N with or without chemical fertilizers. The application of various organic manures did not affect the N, P and S contents of rice grain and straw. However, the N, P, K and S uptake was significantly influenced. The different treatments under study influenced pH, organic matter content, total N, available P, exchangeable K and available S contents of the post-harvest soil. As regards to the contribution of various organic manures on soil properties and availability of nutrients, the performances of poultry manure, cowdung, raintree leaf litter and different manure combinations were good.

With increasing T the MH gap is filled by spectral weight transfer, in qualitative agreement with high-T theoretical calculations combining dynamical mean field theory and band theory in the local density approximation.

title: Essays in monetary economics and finance
Creators: name: Guennewig, Maximilian G.
Publisher: name: London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE)
Year: 2021

description: This thesis examines monetary policy in the presence of digital currencies issued by firms, as well as the effectiveness and credibility of recent bank recapitalisation reforms. The first chapter discusses the consequences for monetary policy arising from currencies issued by firms—such as Facebook’s Libra—in order to generate seignorage revenues and information on consumers. The paper develops a benchmark with two important results. First, information shapes the degree of currency competition: firms do not accept their competitors’ currencies. Second, the central bank loses its policy autonomy. Profit-maximising firms implement a variant of the Friedman rule. As a result, public currency is unable to compete unless the central bank sets their nominal interest rate to zero, resulting in deflation. Importantly, private currency market power breaks this benchmark: inflationary pressures arise if firms form currency consortia, but decision powers and seignorage claims are concentrated in the hands of one firm. The second chapter (with Alkiviadis Georgiadis-Harris, LSE) evaluates the effectiveness and market disciplining effects of bail-ins. During a bail-in, the government mandates equity writedowns and debt-to-equity swaps with the goal of recapitalising failing banks. We develop a model of asymmetric information on asset returns in which banks issue debt in order to finance projects. In equilibrium, the maturity of bail-in debt shortens if the government intends to impose losses on bank creditors. Runs ensue in the anticipation of bail-ins, rendering such policies ineffective. Controlling the maturity structure of debt has two benefits. First, it allows the government to avoid bailouts. Second, long-term bail-in debt leads to an increase in market discipline. The model provides an explanation why regulators impose a minimum maturity of one year for bail-in debt, and a motivation to treat short-term debt preferentially during intervention. The third chapter (with George Pennacchi, University of Illinois) empirically investigates the credibility of bank recapitalization reforms using a structural model similar to Merton (1974, 1977). In the data, credit spreads on bank debt are valued as the product of market-perceived ‘no-bailout’ probabilities and expected no-bailout loss rates. Thus, no-bailout probabilities are estimated by regressing credit spreads on model-implied no-bailout loss rates. Before the Lehman bankruptcy, we find significantly higher bailout probabilities for US banks, relative to nonfinancial firms. Since then, relative bailout probabilities have clearly declined.

description: We study the image formation process with the solar gravitational lens (SGL) in the case of an extended, resolved source. An imaging telescope, modeled as a convex lens, is positioned within the image cylinder formed by the light received from the source. In the strong interference region of the SGL, this light is greatly amplified, forming the Einstein ring around the Sun, representing a distorted image of the extended source. We study the intensity distribution within the Einstein ring observed in the focal plane of the convex lens. For any particular telescope position in the image plane, we model light received from the resolved source as a combination of two signals: light received from the directly imaged region of the source and light from the rest of the source. We also consider the case when the telescope points away from the extended source or, equivalently, it observes light from sources in sky positions that are some distance away from the extended source, but still in its proximity. At even larger distances from the optical axis, in the weak interference or geometric optics regions, our approach recovers known models related to microlensing, but now obtained via the wave-optical treatment. We then derive the power of the signal and related photon fluxes within the annulus that contains the Einstein ring of the extended source, as seen by the imaging telescope. We discuss the properties of the deconvolution process, especially its effects on noise in the recovered image. We compare anticipated signals from realistic exoplanetary targets against estimates of noise from the solar corona and estimate integration times needed for the recovery of high-quality images of faint sources. The results demonstrate that the SGL offers a unique, realistic capability to obtain resolved images of exoplanets in our galactic neighborhood.

description: Immature zygotic embryos of Piper nigrum L. were cultured in different concentrations and combination of auxins and cytokinins. Callus formation was highest (92.2%) when the explants were cultured on Murashige and Skoog (MS) medium supplemented with 2.0 mg/I IAA and 0.5 mg/I kinetin. CaIli were transferred to same basal medium containing 1.5 mg/I BAP and 0.5 mg/I NAA, where they developed maximum number of adventitious buds within three weeks of culture. Regenerated shoots were elongated on MS medium containing 1.5 mg/I BAP and 0.5 mg/I NAA and subsequently rooted in halfstrength MS medium with 1.5 mg/I IBA.

description: We analyse the universal properties of nonequilibrium steady states of driven Magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) turbulence in three dimensions (3d). We elucidate the dependence of various phenomenologically important dimensionless constants on the symmetries of the two-point correlation functions. We, for the first time, also suggest the intriguing possibility of multiscaling universality class varying continuously with certain dimensionless parameters. The experimental and theoretical implications of our results are discussed.

description: The purpose of this paper is to specifically review the success and implementation of the ‘Change Room Project’ at other campuses and communities, and then to use the information gathered to develop recommendations and design a communications plan, and to collect testimonials for the launch of the UBC Change Room Project in January 2018. The research conducted focused on the Change Room Projects that have been launched at the University of Toronto, a similar past KIN 465 project, and other literature that focused on LGBTQ+ members’ experiences, opinions, and recommendations in regards to change rooms at recreational facilities. Eight semi-structured interviews were conducted with members of the LGBTQ+ community to gather testimonials of their own personal experiences in change rooms at recreation facilities, both personal challenges and personal resilience, and their opinions on the role of allies. From the interviews, three general findings were identified: (1) almost all participants expressed a feeling of vulnerability due to the binary and exclusionary nature of a change room environment, and this has at times discouraged their use of recreational facilities; (2) participants discussed the need to overcome mental barriers and internalized feelings; (3) most participants believed that their allies on campus and in change rooms were supportive, but stressed the importance of knowing when to let the LGBTQ+ community to speak for themselves, and when to intervene. Based on these findings, we developed four recommendations for the launching of the UBC Change Room Project: conduct additional interviews from a more diverse sample, highlight the personal experiences of the LGBTQ+ community and the importance of allyship, use education as a tool for change, and to use intentional branding. The most significant limitation of this paper was the lack of diversity of our sample size as most interviewees were cisgendered, gay, white males. Further research needs to be conducted to accurately represent the views of the LGBTQ+ community’s diverse population.

description: We present a new algorithm to rapidly and optimally compute power spectra. This new algorithm is based on a generalization of iterative multigrid, and has computational cost O(N log N), compared to the standard brute force approach which costs O(N^3). The procedure retains this speed on the full sky and for ill-conditioned matrices. It is applicable to galaxy power spectra, CMB, polarization and weak lensing data. We present a mathematical convergence analysis, and performance results.

description: To determine the persistence of antibody in goats and maternal antibody in kids after vaccination with peste des petits ruminants (PPR) virus vaccine developed by Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute (BLRI), an experiment was conducted at the Virology Laboratory, Animal Health Research Division, BLRI, Savar, Dhaka. A total of 98 serum samples were collected from 15 PPR vaccinated goats at every six months interval for 4 years. To assess the persistence of maternally derived antibody against PPR virus, blood samples from 5 kids born of PPR vaccinated dams were tested first at 7 days of age, then at every 30 days interval until 150 days of age. All the serum samples were subjected to a competitive enzyme linked immuno sorbent assay (C-ELISA) for the detection of antibody level. Fifty percent inhibition (PI 50%) was considered as the protective antibody level. The protective antibody level in vaccinated goats was found to persist for 4 years.

description: Imidazole-doped nanocrystalline cellulose (CNC-Im) is a new proton conductor based on imidazole-functionalized nanocrystalline cellulose with a conductivity of approximately 10⁻¹ S/m at 160 °C. Its conductivity is possible due to the transport of protons from imidazoles. The dynamics of local processes were studied by ¹⁵N and ¹³C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy under the conditions of ¹H⁻¹⁵N and ¹H⁻¹³C cross-polarization (CP) and magic angle spinning (MAS) and by heteronuclear correlation (HETCOR) spectroscopy. The ¹⁵N and ¹³C NMR spectra showed the coexistence of two fractions of imidazole molecules: slowly reorienting and exchanging protons and fast reorienting and fast exchanging protons. Analysis based on the two-phase model enabled the determination of the energy distribution of imidazole tautomerization, whose maximum value is 38 kJ/mol. The HETCOR experiment allowed determination of the binding of nitrogen protons from imidazoles to cellulose hydroxyl groups and possibly residual water. NMR studies conducted on the ¹³C isotope confirmed the reorientation of imidazoles. The proton transport in CNC-Im was shown to consist in the exchange of protons between imidazoles via the OH groups of cellulose and residual water conditioned by the reorientation of imidazole rings. The described proton transport leads to the observed conductivity in CNC-Im, assuming the dissociation of imidazole into anion and cation additionally.

description: The Hall coefficient is related to the effective carrier density and Fermi surface topology in noninteracting and weakly interacting systems. In strongly correlated systems, the relation between the Hall coefficient and single-particle properties is less clear. Clarifying this relation would give insight into the nature of transport in strongly correlated materials that lack well-formed quasiparticles. In this work, we investigate the DC Hall coefficient of the Hubbard model using determinant quantum Monte Carlo in conjunction with a recently developed expansion of magneto-transport coefficients in terms of thermodynamic susceptibilities. At leading order in the expansion, we observe a change of sign in the Hall coefficient as a function of temperature and interaction strength, which we relate to a change in the topology of the apparent Fermi surface. We also combine our Hall coefficient results with optical conductivity values to evaluate the Hall angle, as well as effective mobility and effective mass based on Drude theory of metals.

description: In this paper, we describe the capabilities of E3D, the Euro3D visualization tool, to handle and display data created by large Integral Field Units (IFUs) and by mosaics consisting of multiple pointings. The reliability of the software has been tested with real data, originating from the PMAS instrument in mosaic mode and from the VIMOS instrument, which features the largest IFU currently available. The capabilities and limitations of the current software are examined in view of future large IFUs, which will produce extremely large datasets.
