description: Positronium decay into a muon-antimuon pair by virtue of the interaction with a superintense laser field of linear polarization is considered. The minimum laser intensity required amounts to a few 10^22 W/cm^2 in the near-infrared frequency range. Within the framework of laser-dressed quantum electrodynamics, the total reaction rate is calculated and related to the cross section for field-free electron-positron annihilation into muons. The muons are created with ultrarelativistic energies and emitted under narrow angles along the laser propagation direction. The dynamical properties of the muons are interpreted in terms of a classical simple man's model for the production process. We show that the most promising setup for an experimental investigation of the process employs two counterpropagating laser beams impinging on a positronium target, where the advantage of the coherent electron-positron collisions becomes evident.

description: In random quantum magnets, like the random transverse Ising chain, the low energy excitations are localized in rare regions and there are only weak correlations between them. It is a fascinating question whether these correlations are completely irrelevant in the sense of the renormalization group. To answer this question, we calculate the distribution of the excitation energy of the random transverse Ising chain in the disordered Griffiths phase with high numerical precision by the strong disorder renormalization group method and - for shorter chains - by free-fermion techniques. Asymptotically, the two methods give identical results, which are well fitted by the Fréchet limit law of the extremes of independent and identically distributed random numbers. Given the finite size corrections, the two numerical methods give very similar results, but they differ from the correction term for uncorrelated random variables. This fact shows that the weak correlations between low-energy excitations in random quantum magnets are not entirely irrelevant.

description: The problems of stripper target behavior in the nonstationary intense particle beams are considered. The historical sketch of studying of radiation damage failure of carbon targets under ion bombardment is presented. The simple model of evaporation of a target by an intensive pulsing beam is supposed. Stripper foils lifetimes in the nonstationary intense particle can be described by two failure mechanisms: radiation damage accumulation and evaporation of target. At the maximal temperatures less than 2500K the radiation damage are dominated; at temperatures above 2500K the mechanism of evaporation of a foil prevails. The proposed approach has been applied to the discription of behaviour of stripper foils in the BNL linac and SNS conditions.

A validation of the MACS toolbox for EEG data analysis and second-level fMRI
Creators: name: Soch, Joram
Publisher: name: F1000 Research Limited
Year: 2021

description: The MACS toolbox (Soch & Allefeld, JNeuMeth, 2018) is an SPM extension that allows for model assessment, comparison and selection of first-level general linear models (GLMs) for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data. Since its publication, questions have been raised whether MACS also enables comparison between GLMs for EEG – using e.g. different trial categorizations or different parametric regressors – or second-level GLMs for fMRI – using e.g. different covariates such as sex, age or handedness. Here, we introduce a simple extension of the code that allows to perform such analyses.

 In the new module, the cross-validated log model evidence (cvLME) – the default model quality criterion in the MACS toolbox – is calculated by randomly splitting the design matrix into two parts, with the constraint that both parts have the same size. In order to ensure the same splitting for different models describing the same data, MATLAB’s random number generator (rng) is seeded with the number of scans. Using a first-level EEG analysis giving a positive result and a second-level fMRI analysis yielding a largely negative result – consistent with classical analyses of these data sets – we validate the MACS toolbox for model comparison of non-first-level GLMs.

description: EpiStatProfiler is a novel R package aimed to perform a qualitative analysis of DNA methylation. The tool is developed to extract the epiallele composition from any type of bisulfite sequencing data (RRBS, WGBS, etc). Epialleles are defined as all the combinations of CpGs methylation states observed in a genomic locus at a single-molecule level. EpiStatProfiler is also provided with a set of dedicated functions aimed to perform statistical anaylsis in order to identify genomic regions which are different for their epiallele composition among distinct conditions.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The Norwegian Sea is an important feeding area for blue whiting in the Northeast Atlantic. The adult blue whiting migrates into the Norwegian Sea after spawning along the continental slope west of The British Isles. A major part of the spawning products drift northwards where the juveniles find nursery grounds in the southern Norwegian Sea, and among other areas, along the continental shelf off the Norwegian coast. Estimates of distribution and abundance of blue whiting in the Norwegian Sea have been obtained during acoustic surveys, as have age and length compositions of the stock, and stomach samples have been collected. The diet of blue whiting is described, both qualitatively and quantitatively, and some simple estimates of consumption are given, as well as differences in prey choice among various age groups.
Bend losses in flexible polyurethane antiresonant terahertz waveguides

description: The quest for practical waveguides operating in the terahertz range faces two major hurdles: large losses and high rigidity. While recent years have been marked by remarkable progress in lowering the impact of material losses using hollow-core guidance, such waveguides are typically not flexible. Here we experimentally and numerically investigate antiresonant dielectric waveguides made of polyurethane, a commonly used dielectric with a low Young's modulus. The hollow-core nature of antiresonant fibers leads to low transmission losses using simple structures, whereas the low Young's modulus of polyurethane makes them extremely flexible. The structures presented enable millimeter-wave manipulation in centimeter-thick waveguides in the same spirit as conventional (visible- and near-IR-) optical fibers, i.e. conveniently and reconfigurably. We investigate two canonical antiresonant geometries formed by one- and six-tubes, experimentally comparing their transmission, bend losses and mode profiles. The waveguides under investigation have loss below 1 dB/cm in their sub-THz transmission bands, increasing by 1 dB/cm for a bend radius of about 10 cm, which is analogous to bending standard $125 μ{\rm m}$ diameter fiber to a 1.2 mm radius.

description: An expert of Greek poetry and editor of Archilochus with André Bonnard, the Swiss scholar François Lasserre (1919-1989) was the initiator of the Strabo edition in the Collection des Universités de France: he personally published seven books of Strabo as well as the introduction to the text and its history. The project began in 1949/1950 during a research fellowship at the Swiss In­stitute in Rome where Lasserre studied the manuscript tradition of Strabo’s Geography and especially its most ancient testimony, the Vatican palimpsest. He produced a diplomatic edition of the Vatican manuscript which is im­portant to this day for portions of the text that has become illegible in the original. Some of Lassere’s letters to Paola Zancani Montuoro and Wolfgang Aly are here edited: the letters display his ongoing studies of the palimpsest.

description: We analyzed the yield and fidelity of the quantum state transfer (QST) from a photon polarization qubit to an electron spin qubit in a spin-coherent photo detector consisting of a semiconductor quantum dot. We used a model consisting of the quantum dot, where the QST is carried out, coupled with a photonic cavity. We determined the optimal conditions that allow the realization of both high-yield and high-fidelity QST.

The problem of correlated trial-by-trial parameter estimates in fMRI decoding – solved
Creators: name: Soch, Joram
name: Allefeld, Carsten
name: John-Dylan Haynes
Publisher: name: F1000 Research Limited
Year: 2021

description: Techniques of multivariate pattern analysis (MVPA) can be used to decode the discrete experimental condition or a continuous modulator variable from measured brain activity during a particular trial. In functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), trial-wise response amplitudes are sometimes regressed out of the BOLD signal using a general linear model (GLM) with one onset regressor for each trial. When using rapid event-related designs with trials closely spaced in time, those estimates are highly variable and serially correlated due to the delayed shape of the hemodynamic response function (HRF). Here, we describe inverted transformation encoding models (ITEM), a principled approach of accounting for those serial correlations and decoding from the resulting estimates.

 This technique is based on calculating the covariance matrix of trial-wise parameter estimates from the trial-wise design matrix that was used to generate them. Then, an inverse multivariate linear model is fitted for predicting the experimental design from response amplitudes, while incorporating their covariance. We validate ITEMs for classification by repeating a simulation study by Mumford et al. (2012) and ITEMs for reconstruction by reanalyzing a visual receptive field data set from Heinzle et al. (2011). Whereas the previous approaches for controlling trial-by-trial correlations have suggested ad-hoc solutions, e.g. estimating each trial using a separate design matrix, the present work provides a principled approach, based on the actual distribution of the trial-wise parameter estimates, as implied by the trial-wise design matrix.

description: We consider random walk on a mildly random environment on finite transitive d- regular graphs of increasing girth. After scaling and centering, the analytic spectrum of the transition matrix converges in distribution to a Gaussian noise. An interesting phenomenon occurs at d = 2: as the limit graph changes from a regular tree to the integers, the noise becomes localized.

Patterns of adjustment of international students to the University of British Columbia

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study has been an attempt to investigate the process of cross-cultural adjustment of a group of 13 international students studying at the University of British Columbia. The "u-curve" theory of adjustment was tested. It was hypothesized that foreign students would have individual patterns of cross-cultural adjustment. General self-concept, academic self-concept, attitude towards Canadians and attitude towards Canadian culture were used as indices of cross-cultural adjustment. The self-concept dimensions were defined by Ishiyama's self-validation theory (1987,1988). The relationship between all indices were explored. The adjustment patterns of groups of international students (i.e; Male/Female) were also explored. The main method of data interpretation was visual analysis, using two dimensional graphs. C-statistic tests (Tryon, 1982) were used to test the statistical significance of the curves. Three dimensional graphs were also used for data interpretation. Interviews were conducted at the end of the study. It was concluded that the u-curve theory of cross-cultural adjustment was not supported across all. subjects. General and academic self-concepts were found to be highly related. Academic performance was found to have a strong influence upon academic self-concept. No causal relationship was discovered between attitudes about Canadians and Canadian culture. Finally, female western foreign students were found to have the most succussfull adjustment. This was followed in succession by non-western females, western males and finally, eastern males.

description: Momentum dependent charge excitations of a two-leg ladder are investigated by resonant inelastic x-ray scattering of (La,Sr,Ca)14Cu24O41. In contrast to the case of a square lattice, momentum dependence of the Mott gap excitation of the ladder exhibits little change upon hole-doping, indicating the formation of hole pairs. Theoretical calculation based on a Hubbard model qualitatively explains this feature. In addition, experimental data shows intraband excitation as continuum intensity below the Mott gap and it appears at all the momentum transfers simultaneously. The intensity of the intraband excitation is proportional to the hole concentration of the ladder, which is consistent with optical conductivity measurements.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The entrance region to Tysfjorden was acoustically surveyed a total of eleven times during the December 1996 abundance survey of the spawning stock of Norwegian spring-spawning herring (Clupea harengus). The observations are summarized through maps of the distribution, vertical sections, and statistical measures of acoustic density in each of two strata. Experimental variograms are modeled, yielding parameter values that summarize the major properties of aggregation. The collective measures of density and aggregation portray a highly dynamic situation with strong diel variation but a general persistence of the fish distribution over the eleven days of its repeated observation.

description: The integer $d=\prod_{i=1}^s p_i^{b_i}$ is called an exponential divisor of $n=\prod_{i=1}^s p_i^{a_i}>1$ if $b_i \mid a_i$ for every $i\in \{1,2,...,s\}$. Let $τ^{(e)}(n)$ denote the number of exponential divisors of $n$, where $τ^{(e)}(1)=1$ by convention. The aim of the present paper is to establish an asymptotic formula with remainder term for the $r$-th power of the function $τ^{(e)}$, where $r\ge 1$ is an integer. This improves an earlier result of {\sc M. V. Subbarao} [5].

description: The significant increase in world population and urbanisation has brought several important challenges, in particular regarding the sustainability, maintenance and planning of urban mobility. At the same time, the exponential increase of computing capability and of available sensor and location data have offered the potential for innovative solutions to these challenges. In this work, we focus on the challenge of traffic forecasting and review the recent development and application of graph neural networks (GNN) to this problem. GNNs are a class of deep learning methods that directly process the input as graph data. This leverages more directly the spatial dependencies of traffic data and makes use of the advantages of deep learning producing state-of-the-art results. We introduce and review the emerging topic of GNNs, including their most common variants, with a focus on its application to traffic forecasting. We address the different ways of modelling traffic forecasting as a (temporal) graph, the different approaches developed so far to combine the graph and temporal learning components, as well as current limitations and research opportunities.

description: In a bipartite max-min LP, we are given a bipartite graph $\myG = (V \cup I \cup K, E)$, where each agent $v \in V$ is adjacent to exactly one constraint $i \in I$ and exactly one objective $k \in K$. Each agent $v$ controls a variable $x_v$. For each $i \in I$ we have a nonnegative linear constraint on the variables of adjacent agents. For each $k \in K$ we have a nonnegative linear objective function of the variables of adjacent agents. The task is to maximise the minimum of the objective functions. We study local algorithms where each agent $v$ must choose $x_v$ based on input within its constant-radius neighbourhood in $\myG$. We show that for every $ε>0$ there exists a local algorithm achieving the approximation ratio ${Δ_I (1 - 1/Δ_K)} + ε$. We also show that this result is the best possible -- no local algorithm can achieve the approximation ratio ${Δ_I (1 - 1/Δ_K)}$. Here $Δ_I$ is the maximum degree of a vertex $i \in I$, and $Δ_K$ is the maximum degree of a vertex $k \in K$. As a methodological contribution, we introduce the technique of graph unfolding for the design of local approximation algorithms.

Therefore, its dynamics and traffic unsurprisingly take on a rich variety of complex dynamics, self-organization, and other phenomena that have been researched for years. This paper is a review of the complex dynamics of Internet traffic. Departing from normal treatises, we will take a view from both the network engineering and physics perspectives showing the strengths and weaknesses as well as insights of both. In addition, many less covered phenomena such as traffic oscillations, large-scale effects of worm traffic, and comparisons of the Internet and biological models will be covered.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The catch, distribution, and biology were studied in Norwegian spring spawning herring during the spawning season in 1995. Both the spawning time and choice of spawning grounds were influenced by the size and condition of the fish. The stock wintered in Vestfjorden, northern Norway, and spawning grounds were utilized southwards along the coast within a range of 1500 km. The herring arrived the spawning grounds in a decreasing order of length and condition. This was mainly due to size specific swimming speed and not size specific maturation. Delayed maturation with fish length was only found within the recruits, which spawned in a second wave. In addition, the size and condition of the fish in a spawning area increased southwards, and there was a delayed spawning and prolonged spawning period at the northernmost spawning grounds. We suggest that life-history theory explains the observed spawning distribution. Individuals must consider trade off between migration distance, reproductive output, own survival and larval survival based on their body size and condition.

description: Measuring the obliquity distribution of stars hosting warm Jupiters may help us to understand the formation of close-orbiting gas giants. Few such measurements have been performed due to practical difficulties in scheduling observations of the relatively infrequent and long-duration transits of warm Jupiters. Here, we report a measurement of the Rossiter-McLaughlin effect for K2-232b, a warm Jupiter (M_P=0.39 M_Jup) on an 11.17-day orbit with an eccentricity of 0.26. The data were obtained with the Automated Planet Finder during two separate transits. The planet's orbit appears to be well-aligned with the spin axis of the host star, with a projected spin-orbit angle of lambda = -11.1+/-6.6 deg. Combined with the other available data, we find that high obliquities are almost exclusively associated with planets that either have an orbital separation greater than 10 stellar radii or orbit stars with effective temperatures hotter than 6,000K. This pattern suggests that the obliquities of the closest-orbiting giant planets around cooler stars have been damped by tidal effects.

description: This paper focused on the design of an optimized object tracking technique which would minimize the processing time required in the object detection process while maintaining accuracy in detecting the desired moving object in a cluttered scene. A Kalman filter based cropped image is used for the image detection process as the processing time is significantly less to detect the object when a search window is used that is smaller than the entire video frame. This technique was tested with various sizes of the window in the cropping process. MATLAB was used to design and test the proposed method. This paper found that using a cropped image with 2.16 multiplied by the largest dimension of the object resulted in significantly faster processing time while still providing a high success rate of detection and a detected center of the object that was reasonably close to the actual center.

description: The complex mechanical structure of spine is usually simplified in finite element (FE) modes. In this study, different 3D models of L4-L5 spinal segment distinguished by their ligament modelling were developed (1D truss, 2D shell and 3D space truss elements). All models could be considered validated with respect to range of motion and intradiscal pressure, although their ligament stresses/forces were substantially different. The models with 2D shell and 3D space truss ligaments showed the stress distribution and identified the potential failure/injury locations in ligaments. The model with 3D space truss ligaments showed the stress/force direction (representing collagen fiber directions).

description: An effective theory is constructed for analyzing a generic phase transition between the quantum spin Hall and the insulator phases. Occurrence of degeneracies due to closing of the gap at the transition are carefully elucidated. For systems without inversion symmetry the gap-closing occurs at \pm k_0(\neq G/2) while for systems with inversion symmetry, the gap can close only at wave-numbers k=G/2, where G is a reciprocal lattice vector. In both cases, following a unitary transformation which mixes spins, the system is represented by two decoupled effective theories of massive two-component fermions having masses of opposite signs. Existence of gapless helical modes at a domain wall between the two phases directly follows from this formalism. This theory provides an elementary and comprehensive phenomenology of the quantum spin Hall system.

The multiple advocacy strategy and the role of the custodian : the Carter years
Creators: name: Moens, A. Alexander

description: The increasing complexity and high stakes of foreign policy decisions, especially of major powers such as the United States, have generated specialized studies of decision making. One approach, called "multiple advocacy," maps a strategy of role tasks and process norms to guide the decision-makers towards an optimal decision-making process. This process allows the President to make an informed policy choice as a result of having heard a variety of options debated freely and openly among his advisors in his presence. A crucial actor in this process is the National Security Advisor. As process manager or "custodian," he must ensure that the key provisions of the strategy are met while abstaining from personal involvement in the substance of policy advice and execution. This thesis examines the internal coherence and usefulness of the strategy. The first two years of the Carter administration provide a close approximation of the strategy. Four important policy issues during this period form the empirical basis of this test: the "Deep Cuts" proposals in SALT II, the war in the Horn of Africa, Sino-American Normalization, and the fall of the Shah of Iran. While the basic principles of the strategy are found useful and sound, several of its provisions are challenged. First, in spite of its claim, the strategy does not produce multiple options when the advisors have no wide divergence of opinion. Second, contrary to the strategy's prescriptions, the custodian can improve the process in such situations by joining the policy debate. Third, custodial engagement in activities such as diplomacy and public speaking need not be prohibited too strictly. Last, the demise of the strategy can be more narrowly defined as the result of custodial disregard for a free flow of information and open participation among the advisors. Though further studies are needed to widen the empirical base, several tentative suggestions are offered to improve the strategy. The president must insist on a reasonable range of opinions when appointing advisors. While the National Security Advisor may join the policy debate to widen the range of options, his policy advice should not become the rule. At all times the President must insist that all policy debates among his advisors be brought to his attention, and that all policy options receive a fair hearing.

description: Our knowledge of the intrinsic properties of short duration Gamma-Ray Bursts has relied, so far, only upon a few cases for which the estimate of the distance and an extended, multiwavelength monitoring of the afterglow have been obtained. We carried out multiwavelength observations of the short GRB 061201 aimed at estimating its distance and studying its properties. We performed a spectral and timing analysis of the prompt and afterglow emission and discuss the results in the context of the standard fireball model. A clear temporal break was observed in the X-ray light curve about 40 minutes after the burst trigger. We find that the spectral and timing behaviour of the X-ray afterglow is consistent with a jet origin of the observed break, although the optical data can not definitively confirm this and other scenarios are possible. No underlying host galaxy down to R~26 mag was found after fading of the optical afterglow. Thus, no secure redshift could be measured for this burst. The nearest galaxy is at z=0.111 and shows evidence of star formation activity. We discuss the association of GRB 061201 with this galaxy and with the ACO S 995 galaxy cluster, from which the source is at an angular distance of 17'' and 8.5', respectively. We also test the association with a possible undetected, positionally consistent galaxy at z~1. In all these cases, in the jet interpretation, we find a jet opening angle of 1-2 degrees.

description: About ten years after ferroelectricity was first reported in doped HfO2 polycrystalline films, there is tremendous interest in this material and ferroelectric oxides are once again in the spotlight of the memories industry. Great efforts are being made to understand and control ferroelectric properties. Epitaxial films, which have fewer defects and a more controlled microstructure than polycrystalline films, can be very useful for this purpose. Epitaxial films of ferroelectric HfO2 have been much less investigated, but after the first report in 2015 significant progress has been achieved. This review summarizes and discusses the main advances on epitaxial HfO2, considering growth, study of structural and ferroelectric properties, identification of the ferroelectric phase, and fabrication of devices. We hope this review will help researchers investigating epitaxial HfO2. It can also help extend the interest of the ferroelectric HfO2 community, now basically focused on polycrystalline samples, to epitaxial films.

A geometric algorithm for efficient coincident detection of gravitational waves

description: Data from a network of gravitational wave detectors can be analyzed in coincidence to increase detection confidence and reduce non-stationarity of the background. We propose and explore a geometric algorithm to combine the data from a network of detectors. The algorithm makes optimal use of the variances and covariances that exist amongst the different parameters of a signal in a coincident detection of events. The new algorithm essentially associates with each trigger ellipsoidal regions in parameter space defined by the covariance matrix. Triggers from different detectors are deemed to be in coincidence if their ellipsoids have a non-zero overlap. Compared to an algorithm that uses uncorrelated windows separately for each of the signal parameters, the new algorithm greatly reduces the background rate thereby increasing detection efficiency at a given false alarm rate.

description: In this article we present a new C*-algebraic deformation of the Lorentz group. It is obtained by means of the Rieffel deformation applied to SL(2,C). We give a detailed description of the resulting quantum group in terms of generators - the quantum counterparts of the matrix coefficients of the fundamental representation of SL(2,C). In order to construct the most involved of four generators, we first define it on the quantum Borel subgroup, then on the quantum complement of the Borel subgroup and finally we perform the gluing procedure. In order to classify representations of the C*-algebra of the Heisenberg-Lorentz quantum group and to analyze the action of the comultiplication on the generators we employ the duality in the theory of locally compact quantum groups.

description: In this paper, we propose a spoken term detection algorithm for simultaneous prediction and localization of in-vocabulary and out-of-vocabulary terms within an audio segment. The proposed algorithm infers whether a term was uttered within a given speech signal or not by predicting the word embeddings of various parts of the speech signal and comparing them to the word embedding of the desired term. The algorithm utilizes an existing embedding space for this task and does not need to train a task-specific embedding space. At inference the algorithm simultaneously predicts all possible locations of the target term and does not need dynamic programming for optimal search. We evaluate our system on several spoken term detection tasks on read speech corpora.

description: Стаття присвячена дослідженню державного контролю за дотриманням законодавства на транспорті як одного із засобів забезпечення його розвитку. Підкреслено, що сучасна реальність цілком аргументовано доводить важливу роль, яку транспорт відіграє у багатьох економічних процесах та має достатньо вагомий вплив на соціальну сферу. Єдина цілісна транспортна система України не лише є сукупністю транспортних засобів, але й, по суті, виступає однією зі стратегічних напрямів сталого розвитку держави, стабілізуючий вплив якої важко переоцінити і в економічному, і в соціальному, і в політичному аспектах.

Водночас наголошено, що одним із дієвих засобів забезпечення належного функціонування та розвитку транспортної системи виступає державний контроль за дотриманням законодавства на транспорті. Саме він дозволяє виводити на перший план питання безпеки, з огляду на певні негативні явища, які супроводжують процес діяльності транспорту, як джерела підвищеної небезпеки. Зроблено висновок про те, що необхідно врахувати, що чинне законодавство, яке регулює не лише питання державного контролю, але й інші аспекти діяльності транспорту потребує суттєвого вдосконалення, зокрема щодо зняття колізійності, прогалин, невідповідності критеріям доцільності та якості, фрагментарності. Вказано, що окремим питанням є підготовка та прийняття спеціального галузевого закону, який встановить чіткі і комплексні правила здійснення державного контролю у цій галузі та утворить єдиний орган, що виконуватиме ці функції, шляхом об’єднання усіх існуючих, а це, у свою чергу, дозволить економити державний бюджет, а також підвищить відповідальність та прозорість діяльності такого органу.
