description: Web browsing is the main Internet Service and every customer wants the minimum web page loading times. To satisfy this perpetual need, web browsers offer new processing engines and increased functionalities. Web developers make use of new programming languages and paradigms, new transport protocols have been introduced, network operators offer increased bandwidth and Content Delivery Networks (CDN) providers deploy web servers closest to end-users. To assess the efficiency of these evolutions, delivered performance is often evaluated into a standalone manner, without considering the whole chain of web browsing. We propose Web View, a measurement platform, which performs automated web browsing sessions on popular websites in a user-representative environment. Through different configurable parameters, Web View measures a wide set of information in order to evaluate the impact of the different parameters (transport protocols, web browsers, CDN, access networks, etc.). Based on those measurements, to ease the understanding of web browsing and the corresponding evolutions, Web View offers a public visualization website (https://webview.orange.com). For instance, with Web View, we were able to detect that the use of different CDNs at different times of the day can decrease loading times up to 400% and that the delivery of content through different transport protocols can decrease loading times up to 79%. This paper presents the Web View measurement platform as well as remarkable events we noticed during more than one year of measurements.

description: The chemical vapor deposition (CVD) growth of boron carbide (B x C) layers on 4H-SiC, 4{\textdegree}off substrates was studied. Depending on the polarity of the substrate, different results were obtained. On Si face, the direct CVD growth at 1600{\textdegree}C under a mixture of BCl 3 +C 3 H 8 systematically led to polycrystalline B x C films, whatever the C/B ratio in the gas phase. On the C face, heteroepitaxial growth was obtained for C/B ratios = 12 or higher with a step bunched morphology. If a boridation step (10 min at 1200{\textdegree}C under BCl 3 flow) was used before the CVD growth, then heteroepitaxy was successful on both substrate polarities. To explain these results, a mechanism is proposed which involves the nature of the chemical bonds at the early stage of nucleation. It is suggested that a full B coverage of the SiC surface should favor the nucleation of the B-rich (0001) plane of B x C, promoting thus the heteroepitaxial growth along this direction.

description: Random planar maps are considered in the physics literature as the discrete counterpart of random surfaces. It is conjectured that properly rescaled random planar maps, when conditioned to have a large number of faces, should converge to a limiting surface whose law does not depend, up to scaling factors, on details of the class of maps that are sampled. Previous works on the topic, starting with Chassaing and Schaeffer, have shown that the radius of a random quadrangulation with $n$ faces, that is, the maximal graph distance on such a quadrangulation to a fixed reference point, converges in distribution once rescaled by $n^{1/4}$ to the diameter of the Brownian snake, up to a scaling constant. Using a bijection due to Bouttier, Di Francesco and Guitter between bipartite planar maps and a family of labeled trees, we show the corresponding invariance principle for a class of random maps that follow a Boltzmann distribution putting weight $q_k$ on faces of degree $2k$: the radius of such maps, conditioned to have $n$ faces (or $n$ vertices) and under a criticality assumption, converges in distribution once rescaled by $n^{1/4}$ to a scaled version of the diameter of the Brownian snake. Convergence results for the so-called profile of maps are also provided. The convergence of rescaled bipartite maps to the Brownian map, in the sense introduced by Marckert and Mokkadem, is also shown. The proofs of these results rely on a new invariance principle for two-type spatial Galton--Watson trees.

description: We present observations of the pulsar-wind nebula (PWN) region ofSNR 0540-69.3. The observations were made with the Atacama Compact Array (ACA) in Bands 4 and 6. We also add radio observations from the Australia Compact Array (ATCA) at 3 cm. For 1.449 - 233.50 GHz we obtain a synchrotron spectrum $F_ν \propto ν^{-α_ν}$, with the spectral index $α_ν = 0.17\pm{0.02}$. To conclude how this joins the synchrotron spectrum at higher frequencies we include hitherto unpublished AKARI mid-infrared data, and evaluate published data in the ultraviolet (UV), optical and infrared (IR). In particular, some broad-band filter data in the optical must be discarded from our analysis due to contamination by spectral line emission. For the UV/IR part of the synchrotron spectrum, we arrive at $α_ν = 0.87^{+0.08}_{-0.10}$. There is room for $2.5\times10^{-3}$ solar masses of dust with temperature $\sim 55$ K if there are dual breaks in the synchrotron spectrum, one around $\sim 9\times10^{10}$ Hz, and another at $\sim 2\times10^{13}$ Hz. The spectral index then changes at $\sim 9\times10^{10}$ Hz from $α_ν = 0.14\pm0.07$ in the radio, to $α_ν = 0.35^{-0.07}_{+0.05}$ in the millimetre to far-IR range. The ACA Band 6 data marginally resolves the PWN. In particular, the strong emission 1.5" south-west of the pulsar, seen at other wavelengths, and resolved in the 3-cm data with its 0.8" spatial resolution, is also strong in the millimeter range. The ACA data clearly reveal the supernova remnant shell 20-35 arcsec west of the pulsar, and for the shell we derive $α_ν = 0.64\pm{0.05}$ for the range $8.6-145$~GHz.

description: In recent times there has been a growing awareness of the importance of nutrition and the nutritional aspects of various foods. Products are now marketed by emphasizing their nutritional properties, and new products are often designed to serve a particular nutritional purpose. Nutrition concern has become an important force in successfully shaping food marketing. Nevertheless, obesity and other nutrition-related health problems have not abated, and in fact have worsened. A possible explanation for these disparate trends is that a subset of nutritionally-concerned consumers - consumers in less need of improved nutrition- is responsible for the majority of healthy food purchases, with most others ignoring the nutritional message. Thus, an important question is who buys foods with salient nutritional features? We investigate this question using the case of calcium-enriched orange juice. We find that, on balance, most calcium enriched juice is purchased by households who generally purchase more nutritious foods. This suggest they are demanding "nutrition," rather than the specific nutrient "calcium."

We contrast the different behaviors obtained when the LC order parameter is treated as a scalar or a tensor, as well as the different rates of evolution observed with each of these.

description: Since Sep. 2018, LAMOST started the medium-resolution (R $\sim 7500$) spectral survey (MRS). We proposed the spectral survey of Galactic nebulae, including \hii\ regions, HH objects, supernova remnants, planetary nebulae and the special stars with MRS (LAMOST MRS-N). LAMOST MRS-N covers about 1700 square degrees of the northern Galactic plane within $40^\circ < l < 215^\circ$ and $-5^\circ < b < 5^\circ$. In this 5-year survey, we plan to observe about 500 thousand nebulae spectra. According to the commissioning observations, the nebulae spectra can provide precise radial velocity with uncertainty less than 1 km s$^{-1}$. These high-precision spectral data are of great significance to our understanding of star formation and evolution.

description: For the first time, a multi-wave research of oscillation dynamics in a solar facula from its birth to decay was carried out. We performed spectral observations of active region NOAA 12744 at Horizontal Solar Telescope of the Sayan Solar Observatory in the H$α$, He I 10830 A, and Si I 10827 A lines. We used Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) line-of-sight magnetic field data and the 1600 A, 304 A, and 171 A UV channels. At the early stages of the facula evolution, we observed low-frequency (1-2 mHz) oscillations concentrate in the central part of the facula. In the lower solar atmosphere, this is registered in the intensity, line-of-sight velocity, and magnetic field signals. These frequencies were also observed in the transition region and corona (304 A and 171 A channels). At the maximal development phase of the facula evolution, the low frequency oscillations closely reproduce the coronal loop structures forming above the active region. At the decay phase, the spatial distributions of the observed frequencies resemble those found in and above the undisturbed chromosphere network. Our results indicate a direct relation of the low frequency oscillations observed in the lower solar atmosphere with the oscillations in the coronal loops, which is probably implemented through the loop footpoints.

description: Training a large set of machine learning algorithms to convergence in order to select the best-performing algorithm for a dataset is computationally wasteful. Moreover, in a budget-limited scenario, it is crucial to carefully select an algorithm candidate and allocate a budget for training it, ensuring that the limited budget is optimally distributed to favor the most promising candidates. Casting this problem as a Markov Decision Process, we propose a novel framework in which an agent must select in the process of learning the most promising algorithm without waiting until it is fully trained. At each time step, given an observation of partial learning curves of algorithms, the agent must decide whether to allocate resources to further train the most promising algorithm (exploitation), to wake up another algorithm previously put to sleep, or to start training a new algorithm (exploration). In addition, our framework allows the agent to meta-learn from learning curves on past datasets along with dataset meta-features and algorithm hyperparameters. By incorporating meta-learning, we aim to avoid myopic decisions based solely on premature learning curves on the dataset at hand. We introduce two benchmarks of learning curves that served in international competitions at WCCI'22 and AutoML-conf'22, of which we analyze the results. Our findings show that both meta-learning and the progression of learning curves enhance the algorithm selection process, as evidenced by methods of winning teams and our DDQN baseline, compared to heuristic baselines or a random search. Interestingly, our cost-effective baseline, which selects the best-performing algorithm w.r.t. a small budget, can perform decently when learning curves do not intersect frequently.

description: We present a proposal for the realization of entanglement Hamiltonians in one-dimensional critical spin systems with strongly interacting cold atoms. Our approach is based on the notion that the entanglement spectrum of such systems can be realized with a physical Hamiltonian containing a set of position-dependent couplings. We focus on reproducing the universal ratios of the entanglement spectrum for systems in two different geometries: a harmonic trap, which corresponds to a partition embedded in an infinite system, and a linear potential, which reproduces the properties of a half-partition with open boundary conditions. Our results demonstrate the possibility of measuring the entanglement spectra of the Heisenberg and XX models in a realistic cold-atom experimental setting by simply using gravity and standard trapping techniques.

description: It has been claimed that social capital has a significant effect on various socio-economic phenomena. Recent articles criticize the social capital literature for emphasizing the implications of social capital without understanding how social capital is formed. This paper presents a model of individual social capital investment that synthesizes ideas from several Economic disciplines so as to capture the important features of social capital: investment requires time to be allocated to social capital production, it is place-specific, the investment decision depends upon individual and social stocks, and its effects generate externalities. Comparative statics derived from the theoretical model will be estimated using data from a survey of homeowners in Franklin County, Ohio. The empirical results show that the predictions of the model reflect actual social capital investment behavior.

The generalization to the SU(N) plaquette state is also investigated.

description: Rotational grazing can potentially reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from animal operations. This study investigates potential GHG reductions from rotational grazing farm operations under alternative procedures for defining a carbon credit. As applied to a case study cow-calf operation, GHG emission credits did not differ substantially under different definitions of entity boundaries. The choice of accounting metric used to report credits (mass load versus load per unit of output), however, would dramatically influence whether a farm would benefit financially from a future market in carbon credits.

In this paper we generalize and prove a previous conjecture relating the entropy rate to entropies of finite systems. Building on our new theorems, we establish series expansions for the entropy rate in two different regimes. We also study the radius of convergence of the two series expansions.

Rate detection for variable-rate data transmission in CDMA communication systems
Creators: name: Yang, Gordon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Variable-rate data transmission is one of the key techniques to effectively reduce the mutual interference and as a result increase the link capacity in direct sequence code division multiple access (DS-CDMA) systems. To avoid frame overhead, a blind rate detection scheme that does not explicitly transmit any rate information of transmitted data has been proposed for use in the third-generation DS-CDMA cellular communication systems. In this thesis, a novel joint rate detection and data decoding algorithm (JRDDDA) for variable-rate data transmission in DS-CDMA systems is proposed. Its performance in terms of frame error rate and false rate detection rate is investigated by means of computer simulation in three different, standard channels; namely, the additive white Gaussian noise channel, the frequency-flat Rayleigh fading channel, and the frequency-selective Rayleigh fading channel. The effect of channel estimation error on the system performance is also investigated in the considered channels. Moreover, a novel joint source and channel coding based rate detection algorithm (JSCCRDA) is proposed, which exploits rate sequence redundancy for combating the effect of the noisy channels. A first-order Markov process is used to model the rate sequence from the vocoder's output in the case of voice transmission. An instantaneous Maximum a posteriori algorithm is employed in our joint source and channel decoder due to the delay constraint on real-time cellular communication systems. The proposed JSCC-RDA is applied to two well-known rate detection algorithms and the JRDDDA as well for performance improvement in terms of false rate detection rate.

description: Silicon self-assembly at step edges in the initial stage of homoepitaxial growth on a vicinal Si(111) surface is studied by scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The resulting atomic structures change dramatically from a parallel array of 0.7 nm wide wires to one dimensionally aligned periodic clusters of the diameter ~ 2 nm and periodicity 2.7 nm in the very narrow range of growth temperatures between 400 and 300 C. These nanostructures are expected to play an important role in future development of silicon quantum computers. Mechanisms leading to such distinct structures are discussed.

description: Optoelectronic oscillators have dominated the scene of microwave oscillators in the last few years thanks to their great performances regarding frequency stability and phase noise. However, miniaturization of such a device is an up to date challenge. Recently, devices based on phonon-photon interaction gather a lot of interest thanks to their extreme compactness and working frequency directly in the GHz. In this frame, a still missing element to obtain long-term frequency stability performances is an on-chip delay within the feedback loop. Here, we experimentally show filtering and slow propagation of 2 GHz acoustic waves on a Gallium Arsenide membrane heterogeneously integrated on silicon wafer. By engineering the dispersion of an acoustical waveguide, we evidence a group velocity below 1000 m/s for the mode able to propagate. Thus, an integrated delay implementation is at reach for potential improvement of opto-acoustic devices such as optomechanical oscillators or wireless applications.

description: When making crop insurance purchase decisions, farmers must consider multiple factors. This paper examines such factors through the use of a survey conducted in a 42 county region of Northern Illinois during 2005. Participants were asked who most influenced their crop insurance purchase decision and if the availability of a Premium Discount Plan (PDP) affected their decision. Respondents indicated that they generally made crop insurance purchase decisions independently, and that the availability of a PDP influenced about 25% of the decisions made. Questions about the importance of ten specific purchase factors were also asked in two distinct groups of five factors each. In one group of factors, price of the insurance was found to be more important than the probability of receiving a claim payment. The other group of factors revealed that government subsidization of premium and weather concerns were highly important to survey participants. Results have also been summarized according to the risk attitude of respondents. Crop insurance participation, plan and coverage level, and other demographic data were collected as well. Further analysis will be conducted to determine relationships between purchase decision factors and the characteristics of the respondents.

description: We have explored the influence of different matrices on the emission line shape of individual homogeneously coated CdSe/CdS/ZnS nanocrystals. The results obtained corroborate previous observations of a correlation between blinking events and spectral diffusion but in addition we have found that the extent of spectral diffusion is almost independent of the dielectric environment of the NC. Additionally, we report the observation of a correlation between the line width and emission energy which is not expected to occur in the spherical - symmetric NCs employed in this work. The implications of these results are discussed.

description: The THz-TDS is a versatile technique and can be used to probe gas phase molecules. We are pushing the technique to its limit to try and detect trace gases at the sub-ppm levels. The experiments served as a reference for a quantitative approach that permits to extract the concentration of a probed gas. The single-parameter quantification model can be considered as the basis for a wider multispecies detection scheme.

description: Facing increasing costs for tipping fees and worker salaries, many smaller municipalities have begun to explore ways to adopt mechanized pay-as-you throw container garbage collection and changes to the basket of currently provided services, such as the addition of curbside recycling. Choice-experiments, while used widely in marketing, have not often been applied to environmental policy issues such as municipal waste. Using a discrete choice experiment offers a new way to examine the basket of services cities provide in waste collection given limited budgets and often vocal opposition to change among residents. A discrete choice model is developed to test household preferences for municipal waste services in Stillwater, Oklahoma. In addition, the study compares the willingness to pay estimates for adding curbside recycling service from the discrete choice model ($1.98/household/month) with results from an embedded contingent valuation question ($1.35/household/month). The survey shows that residents are willing give up one of two weekly garbage days to obtain weekly curbside recyclable collection. Furthermore, women are willing to willing to pay more than men for curbside collection of recyclables.

description: We have embedded the texture of the neutrino mass matrix with three families into the MaVaNs scenario. We take the power-law potential of the acceleron field and a typical texture of active neutrinos, which is derived by the D_4 symmetry and predicts the maximal mixing of the atmospheric neutrino and the vanishing U_{e3}. The effect of couplings among the dark fermion and active neutrinos are studied by putting the current cosmological data and the terrestrial neutrino experimental data. It is found that the neutrino flavor mixings evolve as well as the neutrino masses. Especially, U_{e3} develops into the non-vanishing one and θ_{atm} deviates from the maximal mixing due to couplings among the dark fermion and active neutrinos.

description: This article examines the dilemma of a large exporting Country for an agricultural product having to determine its domestic agricultural policy as well as its level of IPRs enforcement. The analysis explicitly considers the possibility of two frauds by farmers: mislabeling of GM products as conventional and smuggling of illegal GM seeds. In doing so this paper makes two points: the approval decision of the products of the biotechnology is speci c to the labeling regime and a large country has always an incentive to enforce its IPR regime.

Some studies on dark energy related problems

description: In this work we perform some studies related to dark energy. Firstly, we propose a dynamical approach to explain the dark energy content of the universe. We assume that a massless scalar field couples to the Hubble parameter with some Planck-mass suppressed interactions. This scalar field developes a Hubble parameter-dependent (thus time-dependent) vacum expectation value, which renders a time-independent relative density for dark energy and thus can explain the coincidence of the dark energy density of the universe. Secondly, we assume the dark matter particle is meta-stable and decays very lately into the dark energy scalar field. Such a conversion of matter to dark energy can give an explanation for the starting time of the accelerating expansion of the universe. Thirdly, we introduce multiple Affleck-Dine fields to the landscape scenario of dark energy in order to have the required baryon-asymmetry universe.

Charmless $B \to PV, VV $ decays and new physics effects in the mSUGRA model

description: By employing the QCD factorization approach, we calculate the new physics contributions to the branching radios of the two-body charmless $ B \to PV$ and $B \to VV$ decays in the framework of the minimal supergravity (mSUGRA) model. we choose three typical sets of the mSUGRA input parameters in which the Wilson coefficient $C_{7γ}(m_b)$ can be either SM-like (the case A and C) or has a flipped-sign (the case B). We found numerically that (a) the SUSY contributions are always very small for both case A and C; (b) for those tree-dominated decays, the SUSY contributions in case B are also very small; (c) for those QCD penguin-dominated decay modes, the SUSY contributions in case B can be significant, and can provide an enhancement about $30% \sim 260%$ to the branching ratios of $B \to K^*(π,ϕ,ρ)$ and $K ϕ$ decays, but a reduction about $30% \sim 80%$ to $ B\to K(ρ, ω)$ decays; and (d) the large SUSY contributions in the case B may be masked by the large theoretical errors dominated by the uncertainty from our ignorance of calculating the annihilation contributions in the QCD factorization approach.

description: We build a stylized model to gain insights into the application of conservation payments to protect endangered species in the face of wildlife-livestock disease risks and habitat fragmentation. Greater connectivity of habitat creates an endogenous trade-off. More connectedness ups the chance that populations of endangered species will grow more rapidly; however, greater connectivity also increases the likelihood that diseases will spread more quickly. We analyze subsidies for both habitat connectedness and livestock vaccination. We find the cost-effective policy is to initially subsidize habitat connectivity rather than vaccinations; this increases habitat contiguousness, which eventually also increases disease risks. Once habitat is sufficiently connected, disease risks increase to such a degree to make a vaccination subsidy worthwhile. Highly connected habitat requires nearly all the government budget be devoted to vaccination subsidies. The result of the conservation payments is significantly increased species abundance, for a wide range of initial levels of habitat connectedness.

Phase-locked polarization by photospheric reflection in the semidetached eclipsing binary $μ^1$ Sco

description: We report the detection of phase-locked polarization in the bright ($m_V$=2.98-3.24) semidetached eclipsing binary $μ^1$ Sco (HD 151890). The phenomenon was observed in multiple photometric bands using two different HIPPI-class (HIgh Precision Polarimetric Instrument)polarimeters with telescopes ranging in size from 35-cm to 3.9-m. The peak-to-trough amplitude of the polarization is wavelength dependent and large, $\sim$700 parts-per-million in green light, and is easily seen with even the smallest telescope. We fit the polarization phase curve with a SYNSPEC/VLIDORT polarized radiative transfer model and a Wilson-Devinney geometric formalism, which we describe in detail. Light from each star reflected by the photosphere of the other, together with a much smaller contribution from tidal distortion and eclipse effects, wholly accounts for the polarization amplitude. In the past polarization in semidetached binaries has been attributed mostly to scattering from extra-stellar gas. Our new interpretation facilitates determining masses of such stars in non-eclipsing systems.
