description: This paper investigates competitive equilibrium when production is subject to random deviations from. intended output. We find that the most commonly used specification of equilibrium price and output -- the intersection of the demand function and the intended supply function -- is incorrect. This result has possibly - important implications for some areas of current interest, including the literature on gains from price stabilization and the empirical modeling of supply response to risk.

description: Starting from a general effective Lagrangian for lepton flavor violation (LFV) in quark-lepton transitions, we derive constraints on the effective coefficients from the high-mass tails of the dilepton processes $pp \to \ell_k \ell_l$ (with $k\neq l$). The current (projected) limits derived in this paper from LHC data with $36~\mathrm{fb}^{-1}$ ($3~\mathrm{ab}^{-1}$) can be applied to generic new physics scenarios, including the ones with scalar, vector and tensor effective operators. For purely left-handed operators, we explicitly compare these LHC constraints with the ones derived from flavor-physics observables, illustrating the complementarity of these different probes. While flavor physics is typically more constraining for quark-flavor violating operators, we find that LHC provides the most stringent limits on several flavor-conserving ones. Furthermore, we show that dilepton tails offer the best probes for charm-quark transitions at current luminosities and that they provide competitive limits for tauonic $b\to d$ transitions at the high-luminosity LHC phase. As a by-product, we also provide general numerical expressions for several low-energy LFV processes, such as the semi-leptonic decays $K\to π\ell^{\pm}_k \ell^{\mp}_l$, $B\to π\ell^{\pm}_k \ell^{\mp}_l$ and $B\to K^{(\ast)} \ell^{\pm}_k \ell^{\mp}_l$.

description: This report uses data on agricultural chemical use, related production practices, and resource conditions gathered in the 1989 Cotton Water Quality Survey to develop an initial assessment of cotton production's potential to affect the quality of surface and ground water. The survey reported data findings relating to cotton producers' use of agricultural chemicals and to resource conditions. Cotton farmers applied fertilizers to 82 percent, herbicides to 93 percent, and insecticides to 67 perc nt of surveyed acreage. Data from the survey were used as input to a set of screening and assessment procedures that relate soil and agrichemical properties, production practices, and the potential for impairing water quality. These models were used to assess the relative potential for agricultural chemicals used in cotton production to affect water quality. Results indicate that a potential for nitrates to leach into ground water and possible losses of pesticides to surface water are the most widespread resource concerns. A high potential for pesticide leaching appears less widespread.

description: In this article, we introduce a universal simulator covering all regimes of matter wave light-pulse elastic scattering. Applied to atom interferometry as a study case, this simulator solves the atom-light diffraction problem in the elastic case i.e. when the internal state of the atoms remains unchanged. Taking this perspective, the light-pulse beam splitting is interpreted as a space- and time-dependent external potential. In a shift from the usual approach based on a system of momentum-space ordinary differential equations, our position-space treatment is flexible and scales favourably for realistic cases where the light fields have an arbitrary complex spatial behaviour rather than being mere plane waves. Moreover, the numerical package we developed is effortlessly extended to the problem class of trapped and interacting geometries, which have no simple formulation in the usual framework of momentum-space ordinary differential equations. We check the validity of our model by revisiting several case studies relevant to the precision atom interferometry community. We retrieve analytical solutions when they exist and extend the analysis to more complex parameter ranges in a cross-regime fashion. The flexibility of the approach, the insight it gives, its numerical scalability and accuracy make it an exquisite tool to design, understand and quantitatively analyse metrology-oriented matter-wave interferometry experiments.

description: The small grain sizes produced by Type II supernova (SN II) models in young, metal-poor galaxies make the appearance of their infrared (IR) spectral energy distribution (SED) quite different from that of nearby, older galaxies. To study this effect, we have developed a model for the evolution of dust content and the IR SED of low-metallicity, extremely young galaxies based on Hirashita et al. (2002). We find that, even in the intense ultraviolet (UV) radiation field of very young galaxies, small silicate grains are subject to stochastic heating resulting in a broad temperature distribution and substantial MIR continuum emission. Larger carbonaceous grains are in thermal equilibrium at T \simeq 50 - 100K, and they also contribute to the MIR. We present the evolution of SEDs and IR extinction of very young, low-metallicity galaxies. The IR extinction curve is also shown. In the first few Myrs, the emission peaks at λ\sim 30-50um at later times dust self-absorption decreases the apparent grain temperatures, shifting the bulk of the emission into the submillimetre band. We successfully apply the model to the IR SED of a low metallicity (1/41 Z_\odot) dwarf galaxy SBS0335-052. We find the SED, optical properties and extinction of the star forming region to be consistent with a very young and compact starburst. We also predict the SED of another extremely low-metallicity galaxy, I Zw 18, for future observational tests. Some prospects for future observations are discussed.

description: Objective: To derive a plasma biomarker protein panel from a list of 141 candidate proteins which can differentiate transient ischaemic attack (TIA)/minor stroke from non-cerebrovascular (mimic) conditions in emergency department (ED) settings. Design: Prospective clinical study (#NCT03050099) with up to three timed blood draws no more than 36 h following symptom onset. Plasma samples analysed by multiple reaction monitoring-mass spectrometry (MRM-MS). Participants: Totally 545 participants suspected of TIA enrolled in the EDs of two urban medical centres. Outcomes: 90-day, neurologist-adjudicated diagnosis of TIA informed by clinical and radiological investigations. Results: The final protein panel consists of 16 proteins whose patterns show differential abundance between TIA and mimic patients. Nine of the proteins were significant univariate predictors of TIA [odds ratio (95% confidence interval)]: L-selectin [0.726 (0.596–0.883)]; Insulin-like growth factor-binding protein 3 [0.727 (0.594–0.889)]; Coagulation factor X [0.740 (0.603–0.908)]; Serum paraoxonase/lactonase 3 [0.763 (0.630–0.924)]; Thrombospondin-1 [1.313 (1.081–1.595)]; Hyaluronan-binding protein 2 [0.776 (0.637–0.945)]; Heparin cofactor 2 [0.775 (0.634–0.947)]; Apolipoprotein B-100 [1.249 (1.037–1.503)]; and von Willebrand factor [1.256 (1.034–1.527)]. The scientific plausibility of the panel proteins is discussed. Conclusions: Our panel has the potential to assist ED physicians in distinguishing TIA from mimic patients.

description: We consider models with any number of Higgs doublets and study the conditions for decoupling. We show that, under very general circumstances, all the quadratic coefficients of the scalar potential must be present, except in special cases, which include terms related to directions of vanishing vacuum expectation values. We give a few examples. Moreover, we show that the decoupling of all charged scalars implies the decoupling of all extra neutral scalars and vanishing $\mathcal{CP}$ violation in scalar-pseudoscalar mixing.

X-ray Luminosity Function and Total Luminosity of LMXB in Early Type Galaxies

description: We have derived bias-corrected X-ray luminosity functions (XLFs) of sources detected in a uniformly selected sample of 14 E and S0 galaxies observed with Chandra ACIS-S3. The entire sample yields 985 point-like X-ray sources, with typical detection of 30-140 sources per galaxy. After correcting for incompleteness, the individual XLFs are statistically consistent with a single power-law of a (differential) XLF slope b = 1.8 - 2.2 (with a typical error of 0.2-0.3). A break at or near LX,Eddington, as reported in the literature for some of these galaxies, is not required in any case. Although the combined XLF is marginally consistent with a single power-law (with b = 2.1 +- 0.1), a broken power-law gives an improved fit. The best-fit slope is b = 1.8 +- 0.2 in the low-luminosity range LX = a few x 1037 - 5 x 1038 ergs s-1. At higher luminosities, the slope is steeper, b = 2.8 +- 0.6. The break luminosity is 5 +- 1.6 x 1038 ergs s-1 (with an error at 90%), which may be consistent with the Eddington luminosity of neutron stars with the largest possible mass (3 Mo), of He-enriched neutron star binaries, or low-mass stellar mass black holes. If the change in XLF slope at high luminosities is real, our result would imply a different population of high luminosity sources, instead of a beaming effect. We confirm that the total X-ray luminosity of LMXBs is correlated with the optical and more tightly with the near-IR luminosities, but in both cases the scatter exceeds that expected from measurement errors. We find that the scatter in LX(LMXB)/LK is marginally correlated with the specific frequency of globular clusters.

description: The population of Milky Way satellite galaxies is of great interest for cosmology, fundamental physics, and astrophysics. They represent the faint end of the galaxy luminosity function, are the most dark-matter dominated objects in the local Universe, and contain the oldest and most metal-poor stellar populations. Recent surveys have revealed around 60 satellites, but this could represent less than half of the total. Characterization of these systems remains a challenge due to their low luminosity. We consider the gravitational wave observatory LISA as a potential tool for studying these satellites through observations of their short-period double white dwarf populations. LISA will observe the entire sky without selection effects due to dust extinction, complementing optical surveys, and could potentially discover massive satellites hidden behind the disk of the galaxy.

description: Microtubules are stiff filamentary proteins that constitute an important component of the cytoskeleton of cells. These are known to exhibit a dynamic instability. A steadily growing microtubule can suddenly start depolymerizing very rapidly; this phenomenon is known as ``catastrophe''. However, often a shrinking microtubule is ``rescued'' and starts polymerizing again. Here we develope a model for the polymerization-depolymerization dynamics of microtubules in the presence of {\it catastrophe-suppressing drugs}. Solving the dynamical equations in the steady-state, we derive exact analytical expressions for the length distributions of the microtubules tipped with drug-bound tubulin subunits as well as those of the microtubules, in the growing and shrinking phases, tipped with drug-free pure tubulin subunits. We also examine the stability of the steady-state solutions.

description: SO/PHI is the Polarimetric Helioseismic Imager on board the Solar Orbiter; one of the 6 remote sensing instruments. It is a spectropolarimeter: it takes images of the Sun at very distinct wavelengths and different polarisations. From these images, the full vector magnetic field at the solar surface, as well as the LOS (Line Of Sight) velocity, can be inferred.
 To produce reliable magnetograms and dopplergrams the polarimetry of SO/PHI-HRT has to be calibrated. This poster describes the preliminary results that characterise its polarimetric properties.

description: Farmer control of agricultural pests raises the possibility of bioeconomic feedbacks and spillovers, whereby greater aggregate effort exerted on pest control lowers overall pest densities. This in turn decreases individual growers’ marginal incentives for pest control. While economists have written theoretically about such feedbacks or modeled it in simulations of bio-invasions, they rarely measure it econometrically. Here we adapt an instrumental variables methodology developed for discrete choice endogenous sorting models in the environmental and urban economics literatures to study bioeconomic feedbacks in pest control. As a methodological innovation, we introduce use of censored regression methods to handle 0% or 100% market shares in hedonic second-stage analysis of fixed effects in discrete choice models. We apply these methods to study area-level adoption and potential feedbacks from individuals’ decisions to adopt transgenic Bt corn, using a panel dataset from the Philippines. In a conceptual model, we generate the hypothesis that greater areawide deployment of Bt crops should reduce individual farmers’ incentives to use this technology, ceteris paribus. Our econometric estimation supports the hypothesis that greater areawide use of Bt attenuates individual incentives to use these varieties. In terms of economic significance, this feedback effect implies a mean long-run price elasticity for the Bt trait 67% lower than that implied by an econometric model ignoring it. Examining whether this estimated feedback relates to areawide pest suppression, we find farmers’ expectations about infestation from the main pest targeted by Bt crops are significantly reduced by higher areawide Bt deployment. We conclude by discussing the welfare and yield implications for these areawide bioeconomic feedbacks.

description: PYSCF is a Python-based general-purpose electronic structure platform that both supports first-principles simulations of molecules and solids, as well as accelerates the development of new methodology and complex computational workflows. The present paper explains the design and philosophy behind PYSCF that enables it to meet these twin objectives. With several case studies, we show how users can easily implement their own methods using PYSCF as a development environment. We then summarize the capabilities of PYSCF for molecular and solid-state simulations. Finally, we describe the growing ecosystem of projects that use PYSCF across the domains of quantum chemistry, materials science, machine learning and quantum information science.

description: The influence of medium correction from an isospin dependent nucleon nucleon cross section on the fragmentation and nucleon emission in the intermediate energy heavy ion collisions was studied by using an isospin dependent quantum molecular dynamical model (IQMD). We found that the medium correction enhances the dependence of multiplicity of intermediate mass fragment $N_{imf}$ and the number of nucleon emission $N_{n}$ on the isospin effect of the nucleon nucleon cross section,while the momentum dependent interaction (MDI) produces also an important role for enhancing the influence of the medium correction on the isospin dependence of two-body collision in the fragmentation and nucleon emission processes. After considering the medium correction and the role of momentum dependent interaction the increase for the dependence of $N_{imf}$ and $N_{n}$ on the isospin effect of two-body collision is favorable to learn the information about the isospin dependent nucleon nucleon cross section

description: A significant fraction of non-baryonic or baryonic dark matter in galactic halos may consist of MASsive Compact Objects (MASCOs) with mass M=10^{1-4}M_{sun}. Possible candidates for such compact objects include primordial black holes or remnants of primordial (Population III) stars. We propose a method for directly detecting MASCOs in extragalactic halos, using the VLBI techniques with extremely high resolution. If a galactic halo comprising a large number of MASCOs produces multiple images of a background radio-loud QSO by gravitational lensing, then a high-resolution radio map of each macro-lensed image should reveal microlensing effects by MASCOs. To assess their observational feasibility, we simulate microlensing of the radio-loud, four-image lensed QSO, B1422+231, assuming angular resolution of ~0.01 mas. MASCOs are represented by point masses. For comparison, we also simulate microlensing of B1422+231 by singular isothermal spheres. We find that the surface brightness of the macro-lensed images shows distinct spatial patterns on the scale of the Einstein radius of the perturbers. In the case of point-mass perturbers, many tiny dark spots also appear in the macro-lensed images associated with a decrease in the surface brightness toward the fringe of the original QSO image, whereas no such spots are available in the SIS models. Based on the size, position and magnified or demagnified patterns of images, we shall be able to determine the mass and density profile of a MASCO as well as its spatial distribution and abundance in a galactic halo.

Highly Ionized High-Velocity Clouds toward PKS 2155-304 and Markarian 509

description: To gain insight into four highly ionized high-velocity clouds (HVCs) discovered by Sembach et al. (1999), we have analyzed data from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer (FUSE) for the PKS 2155-304 and Mrk 509 sight lines. We measure strong absorption in OVI and column densities of multiple ionization stages of silicon (SiII/III/IV) and carbon (CII/III/IV). We interpret this ionization pattern as a multiphase medium that contains both collisionally ionized and photoionized gas. Toward PKS 2155-304, for HVCs at -140 and -270 km/s, respectively, we measure logN(OVI)=13.80+/-0.03 and log N(OVI)=13.56+/-0.06; from Lyman series absorption, we find log N(HI)=16.37^(+0.22)_(-0.14) and 15.23^(+0.38)_(-0.22). The presence of high-velocity OVI spread over a broad (100 km/s) profile, together with large amounts of low-ionization species, is difficult to reconcile with the low densities, n=5x10^(-6) cm^(-3), in the collisional/photoionization models of Nicastro et al. (2002), although the HVCs show a similar relation in N(SiIV)/N(CIV) versus N(CII)/N(CIV) as high-z intergalactic clouds. Our results suggest that the high-velocity OVI in these absorbers do not necessarily trace the WHIM, but instead may trace HVCs with low total hydrogen column density. We propose that the broad high-velocity OVI absorption arises from shock ionization, at bowshock interfaces produced from infalling clumps of gas with velocity shear. The similar ratios of high ions for HVC Complex C and these highly ionized HVCs suggest a common production mechanism in the Galactic halo.

description: Extensive numerical simulations in the past decades proved that the critical exponents of the jamming of frictionless spherical particles remain unchanged in two and three dimensions. This implies that the upper critical dimension is $d_u=2$ or lower. In this work, we study the jamming transition below the upper critical dimension. We investigate a quasi-one-dimensional system: disks confined in a narrow channel. We show that the system is isostatic at the jamming transition point as in the case of standard jamming transition of the bulk systems in two and three dimensions. Nevertheless, the scaling of the excess contact number shows the linear scaling. Furthermore, the gap distribution remains finite even at the jamming transition point. These results are qualitatively different from those of the bulk systems in two and three dimensions.

description: Two different two-loop relations between the pole- and the MS-mass of the top quark have been derived in the literature which were based on different treatments of the tadpole diagrams. In addition, the limit M_W^2/m_t^2 \to 0 was employed in one of the calculations. It is shown that, after appropriate transformations, the results of the two calculations are in perfect agreement. Furthermore we demonstrate that the inclusion of the non-vanishing mass of the W-boson leads to small modifications only.

Generalization of port-based teleportation and controlled teleportation capability

description: As a variant of the original quantum teleportation, the port-based teleportation has been proposed, and its various kinds of useful applications in quantum information processing have been explored. Two users in the port-based teleportation initially share an arbitrary pure state, which can be represented by applying one user's local operation to a bipartite maximally entangled state. If the maximally entangled state is a $2M$-qudit state, then it can be expressed as $M$ copies of a two-qudit maximally entangled state, where $M$ is the number of the ports. We here consider a generalization of the original port-based teleportation obtained from employing copies of an arbitrary bipartite (mixed) resource instead of copies of a pure maximally entangled one. By means of the generalization, we construct a concept of the controlled port-based teleportation by combining the controlled teleportation with the port-based teleportation, and analyze its performance in terms of several meaningful quantities such as the teleportation fidelity, the entanglement fidelity, and the fully entangled fraction. In addition, we present new quantities called the control power and the minimal control power for the new controlled version on a given tripartite quantum state.

description: The Aubry-André-Harper (AAH) model with a self-dual symmetry plays an important role in studying the Anderson localization. Here we find a self-dual symmetry determining the quantum phase transition between extended and localized states in a non-Hermitian AAH model and show that the eigenenergies of these states are characterized by two types of winding numbers. By constructing and studying a non-Hermitian generalized AAH model, we further generalize the notion of the mobility edge, which separates the localized and extended states in the energy spectrum of disordered systems, to the non-Hermitian case and find that the generalized mobility edge is of a topological nature even in the open boundary geometry in the sense that the energies of localized and extended states exhibit distinct topological structures in the complex energy plane. Finally, we propose an experimental scheme to realize these models with electric circuits.

Whirling Hexagons and Defect Chaos in Hexagonal Non-Boussinesq Convection

description: We study hexagon patterns in non-Boussinesq convection of a thin rotating layer of water. For realistic parameters and boundary conditions we identify various linear instabilities of the pattern. We focus on the dynamics arising from an oscillatory side-band instability that leads to a spatially disordered chaotic state characterized by oscillating (whirling) hexagons. Using triangulation we obtain the distribution functions for the number of pentagonal and heptagonal convection cells. In contrast to the results found for defect chaos in the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation and in inclined-layer convection, the distribution functions can show deviations from a squared Poisson distribution that suggest non-trivial correlations between the defects.

description: In an effort to contribute towards UBC’s Climate Action Plan 2020, the UBC Building Operations department has made significant strides towards efficiency and sustainability. Its focus on innovation, data tracking, sustainable purchasing and strategic vehicle disposal allowed the department to reduce the GHG emissions of its 240 vehicles by 25%, while increasing fuel efficiency by 16% between 2011 and 2013 alone1. However, despite Building Operations’ efforts, UBC’s advancement in its sustainability goals is impeded by the fact that other departments have not also aligned themselves with the vision and have not been involved in this process of improving UBC fleet efficiency and decreasing GHG emissions. Through our analysis, we have identified three sub-issues at play that have resulted in this lack of departmental involvement, and have developed a strategic plan for fostering campus-wide collaboration towards fleet efficiency and sustainability.
