description: The gravitational wave emission by a distorted rotating fluid star is computed. The distortion is supposed to be symmetric around some axis inclined with respect to the rotation axis. In the general case, the gravitational radiation is emitted at two frequencies: $Ω$ and $2Ω$, where $Ω$ is the rotation frequency. The obtained formulæ are applied to the specific case of a neutron star distorted by its own magnetic field. Assuming that the period derivative $\dot P$ of pulsars is a measure of their magnetic dipole moment, the gravitational wave amplitude can be related to the observable parameters $P$ and $\dot P$ and to a factor $β$ which measures the efficiency of a given magnetic dipole moment in distorting the star. $β$ depends on the nuclear matter equation of state and on the magnetic field distribution. The amplitude at the frequency $2Ω$, expressed in terms of $P$, $\dot P$ and $β$, is independent of the angle $α$ between the magnetic axis and the rotation axis, whereas at the frequency $Ω$, the amplitude increases as $α$ decreases. The value of $β$ for specific models of magnetic field distributions has been computed by means of a numerical code giving self-consistent models of magnetized neutron stars within general relativity. It is found that the distortion at fixed magnetic dipole moment is very dependent of the magnetic field distribution; a stochastic magnetic field or a superconductor stellar interior greatly increases $β$ with respect to the uniformly magnetized perfect conductor case and might lead to gravitational waves detectable by the VIRGO or LIGO interferometers. The amplitude modulation of the signal induced by the daily rotation of the Earth has been computed and specified to the case of the Crab pulsar and VIRGO

description: The Kalman filter (KF) is one of the most widely used tools for data assimilation and sequential estimation. In this work, we show that the state estimates from the KF in a standard linear dynamical system setting are equivalent to those given by the KF in a transformed system, with infinite process noise (i.e., a "flat prior") and an augmented measurement space. This reformulation -- which we refer to as augmented measurement sensor fusion (SF) -- is conceptually interesting, because the transformed system here is seemingly static (as there is effectively no process model), but we can still capture the state dynamics inherent to the KF by folding the process model into the measurement space. Further, this reformulation of the KF turns out to be useful in settings in which past states are observed eventually (at some lag). Here, when the measurement noise covariance is estimated by the empirical covariance, we show that the state predictions from SF are equivalent to those from a regression of past states on past measurements, subject to particular linear constraints (reflecting the relationships encoded in the measurement map). This allows us to port standard ideas (say, regularization methods) in regression over to dynamical systems. For example, we can posit multiple candidate process models, fold all of them into the measurement model, transform to the regression perspective, and apply $\ell_1$ penalization to perform process model selection. We give various empirical demonstrations, and focus on an application to nowcasting the weekly incidence of influenza in the US.

description: The application of machine learning to radiological images is an increasingly active research area that is expected to grow in the next five to ten years. Recent advances in machine learning have the potential to recognize and classify complex patterns from different radiological imaging modalities such as x-rays, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography imaging. In many applications, machine learning based systems have shown comparable performance to human decision-making. The applications of machine learning are the key ingredients of future clinical decision making and monitoring systems. This review covers the fundamental concepts behind various machine learning techniques and their applications in several radiological imaging areas, such as medical image segmentation, brain function studies and neurological disease diagnosis, as well as computer-aided systems, image registration, and content-based image retrieval systems. Synchronistically, we will briefly discuss current challenges and future directions regarding the application of machine learning in radiological imaging. By giving insight on how take advantage of machine learning powered applications, we expect that clinicians can prevent and diagnose diseases more accurately and efficiently.

Counting carrots and sticks : a data analysis of insurgent activity in Afghanistan from 2008-2014
Creators: name: Fulcher Cruvinel, Felipe
Publisher: name: The University of St Andrews
Year: 2024

description: After nearly two decades of conducting history’s most expensive counterinsurgency campaign, the United States left Afghanistan in the wake of the government’s collapse and the fall of Kabul. This project seeks to understand the underlying reasons behind the failure to stabilize and rebuild Afghanistan, by identifying what factors affect levels of insurgent activity. To that end I apply a multi-level mixed effects model for the testing of counterinsurgency hypotheses, with a specific look into the US engagement in Afghanistan from 2008 to 2014. The analysis involves security, economy, and governance variables, and over 400,000 individual incidents of insurgent activity. I further test my results by conducting a qualitative comparison of a select province pair. My findings demonstrate that structural factors impact insurgent activity in the medium to long term, while strategic and tactical adaptation have a greater effect on insurgent activity in the short term. I also propose a new theoretical model on the structures and elements of insurgencies. It describes how such elements are fundamentally hierarchical within a porous structure subject to feedback loops. The model highlights the importance of infrastructure for an insurgency. It illustrates the primacy of security as the foundation upon which infrastructure, economy and governance factors must be built. It also stresses that the goal for insurgents remains the control or denial of popular support at the uppermost, governance level. Finally, my model suggests a counterinsurgency approach based on this structure of insurgency.

Exact Eigenfunctions of a Chaotic System

Year: 1997
Subjects: subject: Chaotic Dynamics (nlin.CD)

description: The interest in the properties of quantum systems, whose classical dynamics are chaotic, derives from their abundance in nature. The spectrum of such systems can be related, in the semiclassical approximation (SCA), to the unstable classical periodic orbits, through Gutzwiller's trace formula. The class of systems studied in this work, tiling billiards on the pseudo-sphere, is special in this correspondence being exact, via Selberg's trace formula. In this work, an exact expression for Green's function (GF) and the eigenfunctions (EF) of tiling billiards on the pseudo-sphere, whose classical dynamics are chaotic, is derived. GF is shown to be equal to the quotient of two infinite sums over periodic orbits, where the denominator is the spectral determinant. Such a result is known to be true for typical chaotic systems, in the leading SCA. From the exact expression for GF, individual EF can be identified. In order to obtain a SCA by finite series for the infinite sums encountered, resummation by analytic continuation in $\hbar$ was performed. The result is similar to known results for EF of typical chaotic systems. The lowest EF of the Hamiltonian were calculated with the help of the resulting formulae, and compared with exact numerical results. A search for scars with the help of analytical and numerical methods failed to find evidence for their existence.

description: Exome sequencing (ES) has empowered genetic diagnosis and novel gene discovery, and is increasingly applied as a first-line test for a variety of disorders. Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects more than in 1 in 10 persons worldwide, resulting in high morbidity, mortality, and healthcare costs. As CKD displays substantial genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity, the unbiased approach of ES can help to pinpoint a specific etiology and thereby support personalized care. However, the broader utility of ES for nephropathy and challenges associated with such expanded implementation have yet to be systematically assessed. Here, we investigate these questions through integrating ES and phenotype data from large CKD case and control cohorts. First, we survey the genetic and clinical disease spectrum of Mendelian forms of kidney and genitourinary disease, and generate a comprehensive curated list of gene-disease pairs. We then use ES data from 7,974 self-declared healthy adults to evaluate the population prevalence of candidate pathogenic variants for Mendelian nephropathy under different analytic filtering pipelines. We observe an appreciable frequency of putatively diagnostic variants for these conditions using stringent as well as standard filters, resulting in a considerable burden for both variant interpretation and clinical follow-up. Next, we perform ES and diagnostic analysis in a combined cohort of 3,315 all-cause CKD cases. We find diagnostic variants among patients spanning clinical disease categories, and that both the primary and secondary genetic findings resulting from ES have meaningful implications for medical management. We conclude by discussing the greater insights regarding the value of ES for kidney disease emerging from our investigations, and promising avenues for subsequent studies.

description: Measuring a quantum system can randomly perturb its state. The strength and nature of this back-action depends on the quantity which is measured. In a partial measurement performed by an ideal apparatus, quantum physics predicts that the system remains in a pure state whose evolution can be tracked perfectly from the measurement record. We demonstrate this property using a superconducting qubit dispersively coupled to a cavity traversed by a microwave signal. The back-action on the qubit state of a single measurement of both signal quadratures is observed and shown to produce a stochastic operation whose action is determined by the measurement result. This accurate monitoring of a qubit state is an essential prerequisite for measurement-based feedback control of quantum systems.

Pottery was produced on the site for about 100 years between c. 43 AD and 150 AD using simple updraught kilns producing pottery comparable with that produced at Hardham and Wiggonhold and to vessels from Fishbourne and Chichester. Environmental evidence suggests that spelt wheat was processed in the vicinity of the site and the waste from this processing was used as kindling to fire the kilns. Includes:

description: The statistical properties of spectra of quantum systems within the framework of random matrix theory is widely used in many areas of physics. These properties are affected, if two or more sets of spectra are superposed, resulting from the discrete symmetries present in the system. Superposition of spectra of $m$ such circular orthogonal, unitary and symplectic ensembles are studied numerically using higher-order spacing ratios. For given $m$ and the Dyson index $β$, the modified index $β'$ is tabulated whose nearest neighbor spacing distribution is identical to that of $k$-th order spacing ratio. For the case of $m=2$ ($m=3$) in COE (CUE) a scaling relation between $β'$ and $k$ is given. For COE, it is conjectured that for $k=m+1$ ($m\geq2$) and $k=m-3$-th ($m\geq5$) order spacing ratio distribution the $β'$ is $m+2$ and $m-4$ respectively. Whereas in the case of CSE, for $k=m+1$ ($m\geq2$) and $k=m-1$-th ($m\geq3$) the $β'$ is $2m+3$ and $2(m-2)$ respectively. We also conjecture that for given $m$ ($k$) and $β$, the sequence of $β'$ as a function of $k$ ($m$) is unique. Strong numerical evidence in support of these results is presented. These results are tested on complex systems like the measured nuclear resonances, quantum chaotic kicked top and spin chains.

We find that the blowup function is a hyperelliptic sigma-function and we describe an explicit procedure to expand it in terms of the Casimirs of the gauge group up to arbitrary order. As a corollary, we obtain a new expression for the contact terms and we show that the correlation functions involving the exceptional divisor are governed by the KdV hierarchy. We also show that, for manifolds of simple type, the blowup function becomes a tau-function for a multisoliton solution.

Temporal influence of fly ash on soil bulk density and aggregate size distribution

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Fly ash is a by-product of coal-fired power generation. In 1992, 2.5 million tonnes of fly ash were produced in Alberta of which most was disposed of in lagoons or disposal sites. There is potential to use fly ash as an amendment to improve certain physical characteristics of problem soils. Fly ash is composed predominantly of silt-sized particles and when added to a soil high in clay, the soil texture and other associated physical characteristics, such as bulk density, can be altered to be more desirable for plant growth. The land surrounding the Sundance power generating plant and Highvale coal mine near Edmonton, Alberta is composed predominantly of Luvisolic and Solonetzic soils that have a high clay content. Fly ash from the Sundance power generating plant was added to a clay loam soil in amounts ranging from O to 100% fly ash. The soil:fly ash mixtures were left outdoors at the Highvale coal mine for 16 months. At select times during this period, the mixtures were periodically analyzed for bulk density and aggregate size distribution. Adding 12.5 to 25% fly ash to this soil produced the highest percentage of soil aggregates within the ideal range (1-5 mm) for seed-soil contact. Soil bulk density increased with fly ash additions of up to 25%, then decreased. Fly ash alone had the lowest bulk density. Hence, fly ash may be a suitable soil amendment, although other environmental issues related to its use must also be addressed.

description: A recent innovation in stated preference environmental valuation surveys is to acknowledge uncertainty associated with scientific predictions about ecological outcomes, complexity of management actions and potential difficulties in implementing environmental programs. Still little is known about how individuals assimilate and respond to outcome uncertainty, particularly in terms of how it affects their stated valuations. In this paper, we focus on the impact of individual risk preferences on willingness to pay for conservation of threatened species. Risk preferences are elicited through a standard incentivised multiple price list and preferences for the conservation of the two main lynx populations in Poland through a discrete choice experiment. To account for the uncertainty associated with imprecise scientific knowledge about environmental outcome, attributes in the choice experiment are presented as conservation status in terms of descriptive, non-numerical categories. The results from the multiple price list and the choice experiment are jointly analysed in a latent variable model by assuming that the responses to both are driven by the same preferences. We find that the latent risk preferences are linked to choices of the status quo option, which is the riskiest option in terms of the survival of the endangered lynx populations.

description: In this paper we demonstrate numerically that random networks whose adjacency matrices ${\bf A}$ are represented by a diluted version of the Power--Law Banded Random Matrix (PBRM) model have multifractal eigenfunctions. The PBRM model describes one--dimensional samples with random long--range bonds. The bond strengths of the model, which decay as a power--law, are tuned by the parameter $μ$ as $A_{mn}\propto |m-n|^{-μ}$; while the sparsity is driven by the average network connectivity $α$: for $α=0$ the vertices in the network are isolated and for $α=1$ the network is fully connected and the PBRM model is recovered. Though it is known that the PBRM model has multifractal eigenfunctions at the critical value $μ=μ_c=1$, we clearly show [from the scaling of the relative fluctuation of the participation number $I_2$ as well as the scaling of the probability distribution functions $P(\ln I_2)$] the existence of the critical value $μ_c\equiv μ_c(α)$ for $α<1$. Moreover, we characterise the multifractality of the eigenfunctions of our random network model by the use of the corresponding multifractal dimensions $D_q$, that we compute from the finite network-size scaling of the typical eigenfunction participation numbers $\exp\left\langle\ln I_q \right\rangle$.

description: This thesis first uses physical scale models to investigate solid-state phenomena - surface layer formation, solid-state diffusion of lithium, electrochemical reactions at the solid-electrolyte interface, as well as homogeneous chemical phase change reactions. Evidence is provided that surface layer formation on the magnetite, Fe3O4, electrode can accurately be described mathematically as a nucleation and growth process. To emulate the electrochemical results of the LiV3O8 electrode, a novel method is developed to capture the phase change process; this method describes phase change as a nucleation and growth process. The physical parameters of the LiV3O8 electrode: the solid-state diffusion coefficient, phase change saturation concentration, phase reaction rate constant, and exchange current density, are all quantified and the agreement with experimental results is compelling. Electrochemical evidence, corroborated by results from density functional theory, indicate that delithiation is a more facile process than lithiation in the LiV3O8 electrode. Further investigation of the LiV3O8 electrode is undertaken by coupling the crystal scale model to electrode scale phenomena. Characterization of the LiV3O8 electrode by operando EDXRD experiments provides a unique and independent set of observations that validate the previously estimated physical constants for the phase change saturation concentration and phase change reaction rate constant; they are both found to be consistent with their previous estimates. Finally, it is observed that anodic physical phenomena are important during delithiation of the cathode because the kinetics at the anode become mass-transfer limited. Finally, it is illustrated that coupling physical models to data science and algorithmic computing is an effective method to accelerate model development and quantitatively guide the design of experiments.

description: Two current issues in management of public risks, ambiguity and learning, are addressed in the context of managing ecosystems with thresholds, and regulating treatment safety as might apply, for example, to human and animal health, pesticides and herbicides. Reconsidering a recent claim that, in systems that penalise violation of thresholds, learning opportunities induce riskier decision-making, I find no incentive for ambiguity seeking. But opportunity to benefit from learning may indeed induce riskier decisions, an effect that diminishes and eventually disappears as penalties become larger. A recent claim that a rational regulator of pharmaceutical drugs would be ambiguity preferring – a claim that has obvious applicability to a broader set of treatments – is then examined. Ambiguity-tolerant patients may indeed prefer a menu of ambiguous treatments and opportunity to learn and switch, rather than a single treatment with known risk. But the source of ambiguity matters. Patient heterogeneity, prior to and independent of policy, generates ambiguity for individuals and motivates preference for a menu of treatments. However, expanding the menu does not justify approving treatments that are generally riskier. Finally, I challenge the perennial claim that the regulator of risks to human health and safety should seek to maximise expected value.

description: The variational principle of V. I. Arnold [J. Appl. Math. Mech. Vol. 29, P. 1002 (1965)] is extended to the general conservative inhomogeneous, compressible, and conducting fluid. The concept of iso-vortical flows is generalized to an "invariant foliation" of the phase space. The foliation, which may or may not correspond to explicit conservation laws, is derived from the equations of motion and used for Lyapunov stability. A nonlinear three-dimensional (magneto-) hydrodynamic stability criterion is formulated.

description: This work investigates energy-efficient approximate computation for solving differential equations. It extends the analog computing techniques to a new paradigm: continuous-time hybrid computation, where both analog and digital circuits operate in continuous time. In this approach, the time intervals in the digital signals contain important information. Unlike conventional synchronous digital circuits, continuous-time digital signals offer the benefits of adaptive power dissipation and no quantization noise.
      Two prototype chips have been fabricated in 65 nm CMOS technology and tested successfully. The first chip is capable of solving nonlinear differential equations up to 4th order, and the second chip scales up to 16th order based on the first chip. Nonlinear functions are generated by a programmable, clockless, continuous-time 8-bit hybrid architecture (ADC+SRAM+DAC). Digitally-assisted calibration is used in all analog/mixed-signal blocks. Compared to the prior art, our chips makes possible arbitrary nonlinearities and achieves 16 times lower power dissipation, thanks to technology scaling and extensive use of class-AB analog blocks.
      Typically, the unit achieves a computational accuracy of about 0.5% to 5% RMS, solution times from a fraction of 1 micro second to several hundred micro seconds, and total computational energy from a fraction of 1 nJ to hundreds of nJ, depending on equation details. Very significant advantages are observed in computational speed and energy (over two orders of magnitude and over one order of magnitude, respectively) compared to those obtained with a modern MSP430 microcontroller for the same RMS error.

description: We consider the quantum gravitational back-reaction on an initially inflating, homogeneous and isotropic universe whose topology is $T^3 \times \Re$. Although there is no secular effect at one loop, an explicit calculation shows that two-loop processes act to slow the rate of expansion by an amount which becomes non-perturbatively large at late times. By exploiting Feynman's tree theorem we show that all higher loops act in the same sense.

description: This study examines the impacts of participation in off-farm work and land tenancy contracts on the intensity of investment in soil-improving measures and farm productivity. A multivariate Tobit model that accounts for potential endogeneity between the intensity of investment and the off-farm work and tenancy contract variables is estimated for 341 rural households in Punjab province of Pakistan. An instrumental variable approach is also used to analyse the impact of tenancy contract and off-farm work on farm productivity. The empirical results show that participation in off-farm work and tenure security tends to increase the intensity of investment in long-term soil-improving measures. We also find that increases in off-farm work and tenure security exert significant and positive effects on farm productivity.

Scattering amplitudes from finite-volume spectral functions
Creators: name: Bulava, John
name: Hansen, Maxwell T.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Lattice (hep-lat)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A novel proposal is outlined to determine scattering amplitudes from finite-volume spectral functions. The method requires extracting smeared spectral functions from finite-volume Euclidean correlation functions, with a particular complex smearing kernel of width $ε$ which implements the standard $iε$-prescription. In the $L \to \infty$ limit these smeared spectral functions are therefore equivalent to Minkowskian correlators with a specific time ordering to which a modified LSZ reduction formalism can be applied. The approach is presented for general $m \to n$ scattering amplitudes (above arbitrary inelastic thresholds) for a single-species real scalar field, although generalization to arbitrary spins and multiple coupled channels is likely straightforward. Processes mediated by the single insertion of an external current are also considered. Numerical determination of the finite-volume smeared spectral function is discussed briefly and the interplay between the finite volume, Euclidean signature, and time-ordered $iε$-prescription is illustrated perturbatively in a toy example.

description: By calculating the Fermat limit of certain q-Fermat functions, we get explicit surgery formulae for the second and third Ohtsuki invariants for homology 3-spheres. The surgery formula of the second Ohtsuki invariant λ_2, combined with an argument using the general theory of finite type invariants of homology 3-spheres, leads to a congruence relation between the first and second Ohtsuki invariants: λ_1=2λ_2 mod 24.
