description: In this paper, we use resource-bounded dimension theory to investigate polynomial size circuits. We show that for every $i\geq 0$, $\Ppoly$ has $i$th order scaled $\pthree$-strong dimension 0. We also show that $\Ppoly^\io$ has $\pthree$-dimension 1/2, $\pthree$-strong dimension 1. Our results improve previous measure results of Lutz (1992) and dimension results of Hitchcock and Vinodchandran (2004).

description: It has long been expected that the 3d Ising model can be thought of as a string theory, where one interprets the domain walls that separate up spins from down spins as two-dimensional string worldsheets. The usual Ising Hamiltonian measures the area of these domain walls. This theory has string coupling of unit magnitude. We add new local terms to the Ising Hamiltonian that further weight each spin configuration by a factor depending on the genus of the corresponding domain wall, resulting in a new 3d Ising model that has a tunable bare string coupling $g_s$. We use a combination of analytical and numerical methods to analyze the phase structure of this model as $g_s$ is varied. We study statistical properties of the topology of worldsheets and discuss the prospects of using this new deformation at weak string coupling to find a worldsheet description of the 3d Ising transition.

description: R. Heitmann's proof of the Direct Summand Conjecture has opened a new approach to the study of homological conjectures in mixed characteristic. Inspired by his work and by the methods of almost ring theory, we discuss a normalized length for certain torsion modules, which was introduced by G. Faltings. Using the normalized length and the Frobenius map, we prove some results of local cohomology for local rings in mixed characteristic, which has an immediate implication for the subject of splinters studied by A. Singh.

description: This study quantified social life events hypothesized to affect the welfare of zoo African and Asian elephants, focusing on animals that were part of a large multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional elephant welfare study in North America. Age was calculated based on recorded birth dates and an age-based account of life event data for each elephant was compiled. These event histories included facility transfers, births and deaths of offspring, and births and deaths of non-offspring herd mates. Each event was evaluated as a total number of events per elephant, lifetime rate of event exposure, and age at first event exposure. These were then compared across three categories: species (African vs. Asian); sex (male vs. female); and origin (imported vs. captive-born). Mean age distributions differed (p<0.05) between the categories: African elephants were 6 years younger than Asian elephants, males were 12 years younger than females, and captive-born elephants were 20 years younger than imported elephants. Overall, the number of transfers ranged from 0 to 10, with a 33% higher age-adjusted transfer rate for imported African than imported Asian elephants, and 37% lower rate for imported females than males (p<0.05). Other differences (p<0.05) included a 96% higher rate of offspring births for captive-born females than those imported from range countries, a 159% higher rate of birthing event exposures for captive-born males than for their imported counterparts, and Asian elephant females being 4 years younger than African females when they produced their first calf. In summarizing demographic and social life events of elephants in North American zoos, we found both qualitative and quantitative differences in the early lives of imported versus captive-born elephants that could have long-term welfare implications.
title: Modelling The Tides Of The Southern Weddell Sea
Creators: name: Robinson, Allan Vincent
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 1996

description: Numerical modeUing presented in this thesis reproduces the tides of the Weddell Sea, a region where a significant proportion of a globally important water mass, Antarctic Bottom Water is generated. The presence of the Filchner and Ronne Ice Shelves in the southern Weddell Sea, and heavy pack ice conditions in the rest of the Weddell Sea have greatly restricted direct observations of the general oceanography. By producing tidal maps for the whole of the Weddell Sea which are in agreement with the available data, this study has contributed to the understanding of the general oceanography of this important region. In addition, the following conclusions can also be drawn. The presence of the ice shelves in the southern Weddell Sea has little effect upon the tides except for the reduction in water column thickness. This means that the value of the friction coefficient at the ice-ocean interface is no more important than the value of the friction coefficient at the sea floor. Ice shelf flexure at grounding lines has a significant but highly localised effect upon the tides, the effect not being seen at sites some distance from grounding lines. This suggests that ice shelf flexure is not a significant mechanism for tidal energy dissipation. The results from the tidal model were affected by changes to the water column, but indicated that given the correct bathymetry the model would produce accurate results. The model results also suggested that the most significant areas of tidal energy dissipation are the shallowest areas of the continental shelf. Because of the effect of the ice shelf on reducing the water column thickness this locates these areas on the continental shelf just “inshore” from the front of the Rorme Ice Shelf, though the continental shelf break was also significant.

description: We numerically study the behavior of collapsing and exploding condensates using the parameters of the experiments by E.A. Donley et al. [Nature, 412, 295, (2001)]. Our studies are based on a full three-dimensional numerical solution of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation (GPE) including three body loss. We determine the three body loss rate from the number of remnant condensate atoms and collapse times and obtain only one possible value which fits with the experimental results. We then study the formation of jet atoms by interrupting the collapse and find very good agreement with the experiment. Furthermore we investigate the sensitivity of the jets to the initial conditions. According to our analysis the dynamics of the burst atoms is not described by the GPE with three body loss incorporated.

description: Oscillating behaviour of the susceptibility and heat capacity is considered for normal and superconducting mesoscopic systems (nanoclusters and quantum dots). It is proved that at low temperature an increasing magnetic field applied to a mesoscopic system generates local extrema of the susceptibility and heat capacity. A maximum for the susceptibility and a minimum for heat capacity simultaneously arise in those points of the field where crossings of quantum levels of the normal and superconducting mesoscopic systems take place.

Hierarchical Neural Architecture Search for Single Image Super-Resolution

description: Deep neural networks have exhibited promising performance in image super-resolution (SR). Most SR models follow a hierarchical architecture that contains both the cell-level design of computational blocks and the network-level design of the positions of upsampling blocks. However, designing SR models heavily relies on human expertise and is very labor-intensive. More critically, these SR models often contain a huge number of parameters and may not meet the requirements of computation resources in real-world applications. To address the above issues, we propose a Hierarchical Neural Architecture Search (HNAS) method to automatically design promising architectures with different requirements of computation cost. To this end, we design a hierarchical SR search space and propose a hierarchical controller for architecture search. Such a hierarchical controller is able to simultaneously find promising cell-level blocks and network-level positions of upsampling layers. Moreover, to design compact architectures with promising performance, we build a joint reward by considering both the performance and computation cost to guide the search process. Extensive experiments on five benchmark datasets demonstrate the superiority of our method over existing methods.

description: Transverse momentum spectra of neutral pions in the range 1 < p_T < 10 GeV/c have been measured at mid-rapidity by the PHENIX experiment at RHIC in Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV. The pi^0 multiplicity in central reactions is significantly below the yields measured at the same sqrt(s_NN) in peripheral Au+Au and p+p reactions scaled by the number of nucleon-nucleon collisions. For the most central bin, the suppression factor is ~2.5 at p_T = 2 GeV/c and increases to ~4-5 at p_T ~= 4 GeV/c. At larger p_T, the suppression remains constant within errors. The deficit is already apparent in semi-peripheral reactions and increases smoothly with centrality.

An investigation into new SUB rooftop garden irrigations systems

Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: In this report, the researchers investigated three different solutions for the rooftop garden irrigation system in the new SUB at UBC. They included drip tape, soaker hose and sprinkler irrigation. The soaker hose was recommended. There are a few requirements that are to be met with the solutions. The goal of the new SUB is to have the LEED Platinum Plus Certification so in order to do that, 90% water efficiency should be achieved. The area of irrigation is 1866 m2 or 20085 sqft. Some constraints include After performing a triple bottom line analysis, the sprinklers were found to be the least expensive in the initial and maintenance costs. The costs of soaker hose and drip tape were close in long term period and since the SUB is designed to last 100 years, that will be the comparison that is focused on. Sprinkler irrigation was found to have the highest impact to the environment in the sense that its maximum water efficiency was 51.56%. This eliminated the choice of using sprinklers because it would not come close to the LEED Certification. Carbon footprint was then examined and the soaker hose was found to have the least footprint. In terms of the social impact, there was very little difference between the three solutions. After careful consideration, the soaker hose was selected because of its low carbon footprint. In terms of its economical impact, it was similar to that of drip tape in long periods of time. The sprinkler was very inexpensive; however, its water efficiency was too low to be considered.

description: The United States has a long history of religious influence on public policy: the anti-slavery movement, progressivism, prohibition, civil rights, abortion, school vouchers, school prayer and nuclear disarmament are all issues that have involved religion and religious groups in policymaking. In recent decades, the number of religious interest groups (as well as interest groups in general) has greatly expanded, but the role that the religious organizations play as interest groups in the policy arena has received relatively little attention. How are they similar to and different from other interest groups? What tactics do they use? How successful are they? Under what conditions is success or failure more likely? This article examines Roman Catholic religious groups as interest groups in the congressional policymaking process. First, it places Catholic interest groups in the context of the interest group literature, and second, it examines Catholic interest groups’ activity in the passage of welfare reform in 1996 and in the passage of health care reform in 2010. In both cases, they played a greater role in context-setting than in actually changing provisions.

description: We present a method for calculating transfer matrices for the $q$-state Potts model partition functions $Z(G,q,v)$, for arbitrary $q$ and temperature variable $v$, on cyclic and Möbius strip graphs $G$ of the square (sq), triangular (tri), and honeycomb (hc) lattices of width $L_y$ vertices and of arbitrarily great length $L_x$ vertices. For the cyclic case we express the partition function as $Z(Λ,L_y \times L_x,q,v)=\sum_{d=0}^{L_y} c^{(d)} Tr[(T_{Z,Λ,L_y,d})^m]$, where $Λ$ denotes lattice type, $c^{(d)}$ are specified polynomials of degree $d$ in $q$, $T_{Z,Λ,L_y,d}$ is the transfer matrix in the degree-$d$ subspace, and $m=L_x$ ($L_x/2$) for $Λ=sq, tri (hc)$, respectively. An analogous formula is given for Möbius strips. We exhibit a method for calculating $T_{Z,Λ,L_y,d}$ for arbitrary $L_y$. Explicit results for arbitrary $L_y$ are given for $T_{Z,Λ,L_y,d}$ with $d=L_y$ and $d=L_y-1$. In particular, we find very simple formulas the determinant $det(T_{Z,Λ,L_y,d})$, and trace $Tr(T_{Z,Λ,L_y})$. Corresponding results are given for the equivalent Tutte polynomials for these lattice strips and illustrative examples are included. We also present formulas for self-dual cyclic strips of the square lattice.

description: We consider 5D supersymmetric black holes in string theory compactifications that partially break supersymmetry. We compactify type IIB on $T^4$ and then further compactify on a circle with a duality twist to give Minkowski vacua preserving partial supersymmetry ($\mathcal{N}=6,4,2,0$) in five dimensions. The effective supergravity theory is given by a Scherk-Schwarz reduction with a Scherk-Schwarz supergravity potential on the moduli space, and the lift of this to string theory imposes a quantization condition on the mass parameters. In this theory, we study black holes with three charges that descend from various ten-dimensional brane configurations. For each black hole we choose the duality twist to be a transformation that preserves the solution, so that it remains a supersymmetric solution of the twisted theory with partially broken supersymmetry. We discuss the quantum corrections arising from the twist to the pure gauge and mixed gauge-gravitational Chern-Simons terms in the action and the resulting corrections to the black hole entropy.

description: We examine the penalties imposed on all 585 firms that were targeted by SEC enforcement actions for financial misrepresentation from 1978 - 2002, which we track through November 15, 2005. The penalties imposed on firms through the legal system average only $23.5 million per firm. The penalties imposed by the market, in contrast, are huge. Our point estimate of the reputational penalty - which we define as the expected loss in the present value of future cash flows due to lower sales and higher contracting and financing costs - is over 7.5 times the sum of all penalties imposed through the legal and regulatory system. For each dollar that a firm misleadingly inflates its market value, on average, it loses this dollar when its misconduct is revealed, plus an additional $3.08. Of this additional loss, $0.36 is due to expected legal penalties and $2.71 is due to lost reputation. In firms that survive the enforcement process, lost reputation is even greater at $3.83. In the cross-section, the reputational penalty is positively related to measures of the firm's reliance on implicit contracts. This evidence belies a widespread belief that financial misrepresentation is disciplined lightly. To the contrary, reputation losses impose substantial penalties for cooking the books.

description: We present a comparison of the lithium abundances of stars with and without planetary-mass companions. New lithium abundances are reported in 79 planet hosts and 38 stars from a comparison sample. When the Li abundances of planet host stars are compared with the 157 stars in the sample of field stars of Chen et al. (2001) we find that the Li abundance distribution is significantly different, and that there is a possible excess of Li depletion in planet host stars with effective temperatures in the range 5600--5850 K, whereas we find no significant differences in the temperature range 5850--6350 K. We have searched for statistically significant correlations between the Li abundance of parent stars and various parameters of the planetary companions. We do not find any strong correlation, although there are may be a hint of a possible gap in the Li distribution of massive planet host stars.

description: The underscreened Kondo lattice consisting of a single twofold degenerate conduction band and a CEF split 4f-electron quasi-quartet has non-conventional quasiparticle dispersions obtained from the constrained mean-field theory. An additional genuinely heavy band is found in the main hybridization band gap of the upper and lower hybridzed bands whose heavy effective mass is controlled by the CEF splitting. Its presence should profoundly influence the dynamical optical and magnetic response functions. In the former, the onset of the optical conductivity is not the main hybridisation energy but the much lower Kondo energy scale which appears in the direct transitions to the additional heavy band. The dynamical magnetic response is also strongly modified by the in-gap heavy band which can lead to unconventional resonant excitations that may be interpreted as coherent CEF-Kondo lattice magnetic exciton bands. Their instability at low temperature signifies the onset of induced excitonic magnetism in the underscreened Kondo lattice.

The cost to firms of cooking the books

description: We examine the penalties imposed on all 585 firms that were targeted by SEC enforcement actions for financial misrepresentation from 1978 - 2002, which we track through November 15, 2005. The penalties imposed on firms through the legal system average only $23.5 million per firm. The penalties imposed by the market, in contrast, are huge. Our point estimate of the reputational penalty - which we define as the expected loss in the present value of future cash flows due to lower sales and higher contracting and financing costs - is over 7.5 times the sum of all penalties imposed through the legal and regulatory system. For each dollar that a firm misleadingly inflates its market value, on average, it loses this dollar when its misconduct is revealed, plus an additional $3.08. Of this additional loss, $0.36 is due to expected legal penalties and $2.71 is due to lost reputation. In firms that survive the enforcement process, lost reputation is even greater at $3.83. In the cross-section, the reputational penalty is positively related to measures of the firm's reliance on implicit contracts. This evidence belies a widespread belief that financial misrepresentation is disciplined lightly. To the contrary, reputation losses impose substantial penalties for cooking the books.
How much does political uncertainty matter? The case of Louisiana under Huey Long
Creators: name: Mathy, Gabriel

Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: We study the effect of political uncertainty on economic outcomes using the case of Huey Long's tenure as governor and senator of Louisiana during the Great Depression. Based on primary sources, we construct two well-established measures of uncertainty specifically for Louisiana: stock price volatility and newspaper mentions of terms related to “uncertainty” and the economy. Combining these uncertainty measures with employment data from the Census of Manufactures, we attempt to identify the effects of political uncertainty using the state of Mississippi as a control group. We find little support for a negative effect from political uncertainty in Huey Long's Louisiana.

Hole maximum density droplets of an antidot in strong magnetic fields

description: We investigate a quantum antidot in the integer quantum Hall regime (the filling factor is two) by using a Hartree-Fock approach and by transforming the electron antidot into a system which confines holes via an electron-hole transformation. We find that its ground state is the maximum density droplet of holes in certain parameter ranges. The competition between electron-electron interactions and the confinement potential governs the properties of the hole droplet such as its spin configuration. The ground-state transitions between the droplets with different spin configurations occur as magnetic field varies. For a bell-shape antidot containing about 300 holes, the features of the transitions are in good agreement with the predictions of a recently proposed capacitive interaction model for antidots as well as recent experimental observations. We show this agreement by obtaining the parameters of the capacitive interaction model from the Hartree-Fock results. An inverse parabolic antidot is also studied. Its ground-state transitions, however, display different magnetic-field dependence from that of a bell-shape antidot. Our study demonstrates that the shape of antidot potential affects its physical properties significantly.

Stock volatility, return jumps and uncertainty shocks during the Great Depression
Creators: name: Mathy, Gabriel
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: There are a multitude of explanations for the depth and length of the Great Depression, of which uncertainty has been proposed as one possible explanation (Romer 1990). The 1930s not only saw extreme declines in output and prices, but stock volatility was also at record highs (Schwert 1989). This high stock volatility was generated by a series of discontinuous jumps as news about uncertainty arrived regularly during the 1930s, as shown by applying the Barndorff-Nielsen and Shephard (2006) test for jumps in a time-series. To provide a more historical narrative for these jumps, I outline some key events during the Great Depression that generated a sense of uncertainty for businesses and households which occurred contemporaneously to these extreme jumps. While much of the literature has placed Roosevelt's New Deal as a primary source of uncertainty, I do not find much evidence for this hypothesis, and instead find that banking crises, the breakdown of the gold standard, popular unrest and uncertainty related to the brewing war in Europe were primarily responsible for both jumps in returns and the uncertainty of the 1930s.
Biharmonic obstacle problem: guaranteed and computable error bounds for approximate solutions

description: The paper is concerned with a free boundary problem generated by the biharmonic operator and an obstacle. The main goal is to deduce a fully guaranteed upper bound of the difference between the exact minimizer u and any function (approximation) from the corresponding energy class (which consists of the functions in $H^2$ satisfying the prescribed boundary conditions and the restrictions stipulated by the obstacle). For this purpose we use the duality method of the calculus of variations and general type error identities earlier derived for a wide class of convex variational problems. By this method, we define a combined primal--dual measure of error. It contains four terms of different nature. Two of them are the norms of the difference between the exact solutions (of the direct and dual variational problems) and corresponding approximations. Two others are nonlinear measures, related to approximation of the coincidence set (they vanish if the coincidence set defined by means of the approximate solution coincides with the exact one). The measure satisfies the error identity, which right hand side depends on approximate solutions only and, therefore, is fully computable. Thus, the identity provides direct estimation of the primal--dual errors. However, it contains a certain restriction on the form of the dual approximation. In the second part of the paper, we present a way to skip the restriction. As a result, we obtain a fully guaranteed and directly computable error majorant valid for a wide class of approximations regardless of the method used for their construction. The estimates are verified in a series of tests with different approximate solutions. Some of them are quite close to the exact solution and others are rather coarse and have coincidence sets that differ much from the exact one. The results show that the estimates are robust and effective in all the cases.

description: Using molecular dynamics simulation technique, we have studied the melting behaviours of free, icosahedral PtN clusters in the size range of N=12-14. Voter and Chen version of an embedded-atom model, derived by fitting to experimental data of both diatomic molecule and bulk platinum simultaneously, has been employed in the study. We present an atom-resolved analysis method that includes physical quantities such as the root-mean-square bond-length fluctuation and coordination number for individual atoms as functions of temperature. The results show that while 13-atom icosahedron and 12-atom cluster with a vacancy on the icosahedral surface exhibit one-stage melting, 14-atom cluster with an adatom on the icosahedral surface undergoes two-stage melting, as the temperature increases.
