description: We perform a phenomenological analysis of the decays $B \to D^{**}π$, where $D^{**}$ is a $P$-wave excited meson with total angular momentum $j = {1 \over 2}$ or ${3 \over 2}$ for the light cloud, recently measured by the Belle Collaboration in the modes $\bar{B}^0\to D^{**+}π^-$ (Class I) and $B^- \to D^{**0}π^-$ (Class III). Making the reasonable assumption of naive factorization, that we test in $B \to D(D^*)π$ decays, Class I decays allow to extract the Isgur-Wise form factors $τ_{1/2}(w)$, $τ_{3/2}(w)$ at $w \cong w_{max}$ ($q^2 \cong 0$). We obtain $τ_{1/2}(w_{max}) < 0.20$, $τ_{3/2}(w_{max}) = 0.31 \pm 0.12$. We discuss the question of the $w$ dependence of these IW functions. We find agreement with the Bakamjian-Thomas quark model of form factors and, extrapolating at $w=1$, with Bjorken and Uraltsev sum rules. We discuss also Class III decays, where the $D^{**0}$ $(j = {1 \over 2})$ emission diagram contributes. We extract the corresponding $f_{D_{1/2}}$ decay constant, that is in agreement with theoretical estimates at finite mass. Finally, we must warn that $1/m_Q$ corrections could be large and upset the results of the present stage of this analysis. On the other hand, we confront present data on the semileptonic rate of $B$ mesons to excited states with theoretical expectations.

description: This study evaluates long-term structural adjustments in fresh grapefruit packing under aggregate market pressures, including those from retail concentration. While individual firms enter and exit, Markov-model results are indicative of an industry near equilibrium with little expectation of change in the distribution of firm sizes given existing patterns of sector adjustment. Estimation of Lorenz curves and corresponding Gini coefficients fully support Markov analysis findings. Lags in the packing sector adjustment process in the face of sweeping forces of change in fresh produce markets are likely to put this sector at a relative disadvantage within the supply chain.

description: The spread of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in Europe has induced EU policy makers to implement a mandatory traceability and labeling system in the beef supply chain. This paper analyzes consumer and retailer attitudes toward this system. Data used in the study were collected through two surveys of consumers and retailers in the province of Aragón, Spain, in 2002. Consumer and retailer attitudes toward beef traceability are examined to identify main underlying factors. Using these factors, consumers and retailers are segmented into homogenous groups according to their attitudes toward traceability for beef. Results indicate that both consumers and retailers highly value the positive aspects related to the traceability and labeling system for beef, and they value the possible disadvantages to a lesser extent.

description: Nowadays, using vibration data in conjunction with pattern recognition methods is one of the most common fault detection strategies for structures. However, their performances depend on the features extracted from vibration data, the features selected to train the classifier, and the classifier used for pattern recognition. Deep learning facilitates the fault detection procedure by automating the feature extraction and selection, and classification procedure. Though, deep learning approaches have challenges in designing its structure and tuning its hyperparameters, which may result in a low generalization capability. Therefore, this study proposes an ensemble deep learning framework based on a convolutional neural network (CNN) and Dempster-Shafer theory (DST), called CNN-DST. In this framework, several CNNs with the proposed structure are first trained, and then, the outputs of the CNNs selected by the proposed technique are combined by using an improved DST-based method. To validate the proposed CNN-DST framework, it is applied to an experimental dataset created by the broadband vibrational responses of polycrystalline Nickel alloy first-stage turbine blades with different types and severities of damage. Through statistical analysis, it is shown that the proposed CNN-DST framework classifies the turbine blades with an average prediction accuracy of 97.19%. The proposed CNN-DST framework is benchmarked with other state-of-the-art classification methods, demonstrating its high performance. The robustness of the proposed CNN-DST framework with respect to measurement noise is investigated, showing its high noise-resistance. Further, bandwidth analysis reveals that most of the required information for detecting faulty samples is available in a small frequency range.

description: An important conjecture in percolation theory is that almost surely no infinite cluster exists in critical percolation on any transitive graph for which the critical probability is less than 1. Earlier work has established this for the amenable cases Z^2 and Z^d for large d, as well as for all non-amenable graphs with unimodular automorphism groups. We show that the conjecture holds for the basic classes of non-amenable graphs with non-unimodular automorphism groups: for decorated trees and the non-unimodular Diestel-Leader graphs. We also show that the connection probability between two vertices decay exponentially in their distance. Finally, we prove that critical percolation on the positive part of the lamplighter group has no infinite clusters.

description: Gluon bremsstrahlung induced by multiple parton scattering in a finite dense medium has a unique angular distribution with respect to the initial parton direction. A dead-cone structure with an opening angle $θ^2_0 \approx 2(1-z)/(zLE)$ for gluons with fractional energy $z$ arises from the Landau-Pomeranchuck-Migdal (LPM) interference. In a medium where the gluon's dielectric constant is $ε>1$, the LPM interference pattern is shown to become Cherenkov-like with an increased opening angle determined by the dielectric constant $\cos^2θ_c=z+(1-z)/ε$. For a large dielectric constant $ε\gg 1+2/z^2LE$, the corresponding total radiative parton energy loss is about twice that from normal gluon bremsstrahlung. Implications of this Cherenkov-like gluon bremsstrahlung to the jet correlation pattern in high-energy heavy-ion collisions is discussed.

description: The recently developed 3D graphic statics (3DGS) lacks a rigorous mathematical definition relating the geometrical and topological properties of the reciprocal polyhedral diagrams as well as a precise method for the geometric construction of these diagrams. This paper provides a fundamental algebraic formulation for 3DGS by developing equilibrium equations around the edges of the primal diagram and satisfying the equations by the closeness of the polygons constructed by the edges of the corresponding faces in the dual/reciprocal diagram. The research provides multiple numerical methods for solving the equilibrium equations and explains the advantage of using each technique. The approach of this paper can be used for compression-and-tension combined form-finding and analysis as it allows constructing both the form and force diagram based on the interpretation of the input diagram. Besides, the paper expands on the geometric/static degrees of (in)determinacies of the diagrams using the algebraic formulation and shows how these properties can be used for the constrained manipulation of the polyhedrons in an interactive environment without breaking the reciprocity between the two.

description: We present higher-spin algebras containing a Poincaré subalgebra and with the same set of generators as the Lie algebras that are relevant to Vasiliev's equations in any space-time dimension $D \geq 3$. Given these properties, they can be considered either as candidate rigid symmetries for higher-spin gauge theories in Minkowski space or as Carrollian conformal higher-spin symmetries in one less dimension. We build these Lie algebras as quotients of the universal enveloping algebra of $iso(1,D-1)$ and we show how to recover them as Inönü-Wigner contractions of the rigid symmetries of higher-spin gauge theories in Anti de Sitter space or, equivalently, of relativistic conformal higher-spin symmetries. We use the same techniques to also define higher-spin algebras with the same set of generators and containing a Galilean conformal subalgebra, to be interpreted as non-relativistic limits of the conformal symmetries of a free scalar field. We begin by showing that the known flat-space higher-spin algebras in three dimensions can be obtained as quotients of the universal enveloping algebra of $iso(1,2)$ and then we extend the analysis along the same lines to a generic number of space-time dimensions. We also discuss the peculiarities that emerge for $D=5$.

Cluster Formation in Protostellar Outflow-Driven Turbulence

Year: 2005

description: Most, perhaps all, stars go through a phase of vigorous outflow during formation. We examine, through 3D MHD simulation, the effects of protostellar outflows on cluster formation. We find that the initial turbulence in the cluster-forming region is quickly replaced by motions generated by outflows. The protostellar outflow-driven turbulence (``protostellar turbulence'' for short) can keep the region close to a virial equilibrium long after the initial turbulence has decayed away. We argue that there exist two types of turbulence in star-forming clouds: a primordial (or ``interstellar'') turbulence and a protostellar turbulence, with the former transformed into the latter mostly in embedded clusters such as NGC 1333. Since the majority of stars are thought to form in clusters, an implication is that the stellar initial mass function is determined to a large extent by the stars themselves, through outflows which individually limit the mass accretion onto forming stars and collectively shape the environments (density structure and velocity field) in which most cluster members form. We speculate that massive cluster-forming clumps supported by protostellar turbulence gradually evolve towards a highly centrally condensed ``pivotal'' state, culminating in rapid formation of massive stars in the densest part through accretion.

Anomalous atmospheric circulations forced by volcanic aerosols
Creators: name: Young, Alyssa Michelle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: During a strong volcanic eruption, the energy balance of the Earth is temporarily disturbed due to the addition of sulphate aerosols to the stratosphere. The selective absorption and reflection of radiation by these aerosols lead to both radiative and thermodynamical effects in the atmosphere. The goal of our study is to identify the anomalous atmospheric circulations generated under these volcanic conditions. A Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Combined Principal Component Analysis (CPCA) are first applied to the height and temperature data from the stratosphere at 30 mbar. While PCA extracts the Arctic Oscillation (AO) as a weak volcanic mode, the CPCA performs better and is found to extract a definite volcanic signal with a distinct zonal pattern of circulation. However, the stratospheric volcanic modes are different patterns from the linear PCA modes suggesting that the system's response to the volcanic forcing is not obvious. The raw data are analysed for comparison. Application of PCA and CPCA to tropospheric height and temperature revealed only a weak (not statistically significant) volcanic signal, but did extract a strong El Nino signal. Through an Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) technique it is possible to separate the response to volcanic forcing from that due to El Nino. Combining the 30 mbar and 300 mbar height fields in a vertical CPCA, it is finally possible to extract the volcanic modes at both levels. The resulting tropospheric volcanic mode is shown to have similarities to a composite map of 500 mbar heights representing the difference between years with a strong polar vortex and years with a weak one.

description: We investigate rare decays of Higgs via exchange of two almost degenerate heavy on-shell Majorana neutrinos $N_j$ ($j=1,2$): $Γ_{\pm} = Γ(h \to ν_k N_j \to ν_k \ell^{\pm} π^{\mp})$, and into the open quark channels $Γ_{\pm} = Γ(h \to ν_k N_j \to ν_k \ell^{\pm} U D)$, where $U D$ are two jets of open quarks (${\bar U} D$, or $U {\bar D}$, where $U=u, c$ and $D=d, s$). The related CP violation asymmetry $A_{\rm CP} = (Γ_{-} - Γ_{+})/(Γ_{-} + Γ_{+})$ is studied in detail. We take into account the $N_1$-$N_2$ overlap and oscillation effects. We can see that for certain, presently acceptable, range of input parameters, such decays with open quark channels, and their asymmetries, could be detected in the International Linear Collider (ILC).

Our results demonstrate that Rashba precession and intersubband coupling must be treated on equal footing for wavevectors near the magnetic field induced gaps. We find that intersubband coupling limits the occurrence of negative effective masses at the gap edges and modifies the linear conductance curves in the strong coupling limit. The effect of the magnetic field on the spin textured orientation of the wire magnetization is discussed.

description: The possibility of Cherenkov-like gluon bremsstrahlung in dense matter is studied. We point out that the occurrence of Cherenkov radiation in dense matter is sensitive to the presence of partonic bound states. This is illustrated by a calculation of the dispersion relation of a massless particle in a simple model in which it couples to two different massive resonance states. We further argue that detailed spectroscopy of jet correlations can directly probe the index of refraction of this matter, which in turn will provide information about the mass scale of these partonic bound states.

For $d\geq3$, two independent copies of such forests, pointing in opposite directions, can be pruned so as to become disjoint. From this, we construct in $d\geq3$ a stationary, polynomially mixing and uniformly elliptic environment of nearest-neighbor transition probabilities on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, for which the corresponding random walk disobeys a certain zero--one law for directional transience.

description: In this work, observational evidence for the connection between low column density Lyman-alpha absorbers and large-scale structure traced by gas-rich galaxies is investigated. The HI Parkes All Sky Survey (HIPASS) galaxy catalogue is cross-correlated with known low redshift, low column density Lyman-alpha absorbers from the literature. The absorber-galaxy cross-correlation function shows that on scales from 1 to 10 h^-1 Mpc, absorbers are imbedded in halos with masses similar to that of galaxy groups. This statistical evidence suggests that galaxy groups could be the dominant environment of low column density Lyman-alpha absorbers at z=0.

description: We clarify open issues in relating low- and high-energy observables, at next-to-leading order accuracy, in models with a massive leptoquark embedded in a flavor non-universal $SU(4) \times SU(3) \times SU(2) \times U(1)$ gauge group. Extending previous work on this subject, we present a complete analysis of the $\mathcal{O}(α_s)$ corrections to the matching conditions of semileptonic operators at the high scale. These corrections are not negligible, but they do not exceed the 10% level and are subleading compared to the $\mathcal{O}(α_4)$ corrections proportional to the leading leptoquark coupling, which is expected to be much larger than the QCD coupling in the parameter space region of phenomenological interest. We further analyze the impact of radial modes, both at $\mathcal{O}(α_4)$ and at $\mathcal{O}(α_s)$ accuracy, highlighting their role in the renormalization of the theory.

Intraoperatively measuring ligamentous constraint and determining optimal component placement during computer-assisted total knee replacement
Creators: name: Illsley, Scott Garth
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The biomechanical goals of total knee replacement surgery are to restore neutral alignment to the lower limb and balance the soft tissues of the knee. Currently, this soft tissue balancing is considered an art; there are few ways to quantify the appropriateness of the soft tissue balancing that a surgeon does. Furthermore, the few existing techniques for quantifying balance are applied after the bone cut is complete, so the state of the soft tissue cannot enter into the surgical planning process. Since problems with soft tissue balancing represent one of the major unsolved problems in knee surgery, there is considerable interest in developing tools to assist with this process In this thesis, I report on the development and preliminary testing of two specific algorithms. The first is an intraoperative method to precisely identify ligament anatomy for use in a kinematic knee model using a computer assisted surgical system. The second is a method to determine the component placement that minimizes ligament strain and laxity throughout the entire range of motion of the knee. Both methods are requirements for a comprehensive surgical advisory system. The ligament identification method proved sufficiently repeatable on porcine specimens to warrant further testing on cadaver specimens. The component placement algorithm was able to determine optimal placement locations accounting for imbalances introduced on a simulated knee model, and was robust to errors introduced when using the ligament measurement routine to obtain model inputs. Further testing on physical knee models is required for validation of the method's ability to determine optimal component placement and predict passive kinematics. I conclude that the two methods presented have the potential to provide the surgeon with accurate quantitative intraoperative information for use in soft-tissue balancing and surgical planning procedures and warrant further investigation.

description: Integrated pest management (IMP) initially focused on insect pest control. More recently, IPM encompasses a broader concept of management, one which crosses several disciplinary boundaries. This article reports results of research dealing with four integrated management decisions for alfalfa (cultivar selection, inset control, weed control, and end-of-season harvest options.
Phonon Coherence and New Set of Sidebands in Phonon-Assisted Photoluminescence

description: We investigate excitonic polaron states comprising a local exciton and phonons in the longitudinal optical (LO) mode by solving the Schrödinger equation. We derive an exact expression for the ground state (GS), which includes multi-phonon components with coefficients satisfying the Huang-Rhys factors. The recombination of GS and excited polaron states gives one set of sidebands in photoluminescence (PL): the multi-phonon components in the GS produce the Stokes lines and the zero-phonon components in the excited states produce the anti-Stokes lines. By introducing the mixing of the LO mode and environal phonon modes, the exciton will also couple with the latter, and the resultant polaron states result in another set of phonon sidebands. This set has a zero-phonon line higher and wider than that of the first set due to the tremendous number of the environal modes. The energy spacing between the zero-phonon lines of the first and second sets is proved to be the binding energy of the GS state. The common exciton origin of these two sets can be further verified by a characteristic Fano lineshape induced by the coherence in the mixing of the LO and the environal modes.

description: Bovine somatotropin (BST), a new technology capable of enhancing a cow's ability to produce milk by 7-23 percent, is expected to be available for commercial use soon. Ex ante survey procedures are used to determine the potential effect of BST on the size distribution of dairy farms in the Southeast. Results of logit analysis indicate a positive link between farm size and (1) farmers' knowledge of BST and (2) intentions to adopt early, suggesting BST will not be scale neutral. An estimated "price elasticity" of -1.8 to -2.1 indicates an elastic demand for the input. Price, therefore, may be an effective instrument for attenuating the scale bias.
On Mixing and Completely Mixing Properties of Positive $L^1$-Contractions of Finite Von Neumann Algebras

description: Akcoglu and Suchaston proved the following result: Let $T:L^1(X,{\cf},\m)\to L^1(X,{\cf},\m)$ be a positive contraction. Assume that for $z\in L^1(X,{\cf},\m)$ the sequence $(T^nz)$ converges weakly in $L^1(X,{\cf},\m)$, then either $\lim\limits_{n\to\infty}\|T^nz\|=0$ or there exists a positive function $h\in L^1(X,{\cf},\m)$, $h\neq 0$ such that $Th=h$. In the paper we prove an extension of this result in finite von Neumann algebra setting, and as a consequence we obtain that if a positive contraction of a noncommutative $L^1$-space has no non zero positive invariant element, then its mixing property implies completely mixing property one.

description: We address the problem of building agents whose goal is to learn to execute out-of distribution (OOD) multi-task instructions expressed in temporal logic (TL) by using deep reinforcement learning (DRL). Recent works provided evidence that the agent's neural architecture is a key feature when DRL agents are learning to solve OOD tasks in TL. Yet, the studies on this topic are still in their infancy. In this work, we propose a new deep learning configuration with inductive biases that lead agents to generate latent representations of their current goal, yielding a stronger generalization performance. We use these latent-goal networks within a neuro-symbolic framework that executes multi-task formally-defined instructions and contrast the performance of the proposed neural networks against employing different state-of-the-art (SOTA) architectures when generalizing to unseen instructions in OOD environments.

description: We present the results of a survey of a small sample (14) of low-mass protostars (L_IR < 10^3 Lsun) for 6.7 GHz methanol maser emission performed using the ATNF Parkes radio telescope. No new masers were discovered. We find that the lower luminosity limit for maser emission is near 10^3 Lsun, by comparison of the sources in our sample with previously detected methanol maser sources. We examine the IRAS properties of our sample and compare them with sources previously observed for methanol maser emission, almost all of which satisfy the Wood & Churchwell criterion for selecting candidate UCHII regions. We find that about half of our sample satisfy this criterion, and in addition almost all of this subgroup have integrated fluxes between 25 and 60 microns that are similar to sources with detectable methanol maser emission. By identifying a number of low-mass protostars in this work and from the literature that satisfy the Wood & Churchwell criterion for candidate UCHII regions, we show conclusively for the first time that the fainter flux end of their sample is contaminated by lower-mass non-ionizing sources, confirming the suggestion by van der Walt and Ramesh & Sridharan.

description: The importance of timeliness is investigated in the selection of machinery complements for double-crop wheat and soybean production in the southeastern coastal plain. An intertemporal stochastic simulation model was developed to generate probability distributions that were evaluated with stochastic dominance analysis. This research investigated the importance of intertemporal production linkages and adequate soil moisture on machinery selection. Failure to include these dimensions can result in erroneous machinery choices.
