Physical Versus Mathematical Billiards: From Regular Dynamics to Chaos and Back
Creators: name: Bunimovich, L. A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Dynamical Systems (math.DS)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In standard (mathematical) billiards a point particle moves uniformly in a billiard table with elastic reflections off the boundary. We show that in transition from mathematical billiards to physical billiards, where a finite size hard sphere moves at the same billiard table, virtually anything may happen. Namely a non-chaotic billiard may become chaotic and vice versa. Moreover, both these transitions may occur softly, i.e. for any (arbitrarily small) positive value of the radius of a physical particle, as well, as by a "hard" transition when radius of the physical particle must exceed some critical strictly positive value. Such transitions may change a phase portrait of a mathematical billiard locally as well as completely (globally). These results are somewhat unexpected because for all standard examples of billiards their dynamics remains absolutely the same after transition from a point particle to a finite size ("physical") particle. Moreover we show that a character of dynamics may change several times when the size of particle is increasing.

description: There is renewed interest in robust estimates of food demand elasticities at a disaggregated level not only to analyse the impact of changing food preferences on the agricultural sector, but also to establish the likely impact of pricing incentives on households. Using data drawn from two national Household Expenditure Surveys covering the periods 1998/1999 and 2003/2004, and adopting an Almost Ideal Demand System approach that addresses the zero observations problem, this paper estimates a food demand system for 15 food categories for Australia. The categories cover the standard food items that Australian households demand routinely. Ownprice, cross-price and expenditure elasticity estimates of the Marshallian and Hicksian types have been derived for all categories. The parameter estimates obtained in this study represent the first integrated set of food demand elasticities based on a highly disaggregated food demand system for Australia, and all accord with economic intuition.

This scenario is described and compared with the more conventional quantum cosmology picture, in which the birth of the Universe is represented as a process of tunnelling "from nothing" in superspace.

Computerized mine reclamation planning at Highland Valley Copper
Creators: name: Graden, Ronald Wayne
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Highland Valley Copper is a large low grade open pit copper mine in the Southern Interior of British Columbia and has one of the largest land disturbance areas amongst mining companies in the province. Mining operations have occurred since the early 1960's in four locations: Bethlehem, Highmont, Lornex and Valley, with the latter two still being active. In total, there is 6000 hectares of disturbed ground on the property. Reclaim Scheduler is a computerized mine reclamation planning program developed by Highland Valley Copper to manage this disturbance. Reclamation Scheduler, designed in Visual Basic, assists in creating annual, five year, mine life and decommissioning reclamation plans. Input data consists of the mine plan reclamation file, a cost file, a work location file and equipment availabilities. This program is run one year at a time, manipulating data from the work location file by reclaiming certain tracts of land. Output from the program includes a summary report of all the reclamation activities and costs and an updated work location file. The summary report presents costs and numbers relating to ground preparation, seeding, maintenance fertilizing, and equipment requirements. The updated work location file reflects all land inventory changes made over the year. In turn, it will be used as an input file for the subsequent year's reclamation plan.

 The tools of the osteotomy have been advancing considering the challenges faced by their prior versions. The conventional mechanical tools pose various constraints in the development of osteotomy. This has brought many alternative non-conventional techniques with broad exploration space. Among these techniques, laser stands out as it offers several advantages over conventional osteotomy. These tools integrated with modern automation devices can lead to very efficient osteotomy in the future. The current article succinctly reviews the different approaches, challenges, and advances in the osteotomy since its origin, and its current state of research.
Would Further Marine Stewardship Council Sustainable Certification Improve Supply Chain Profitability in Australian Fisheries?

description: Overfishing has depleted fish stocks globally. While governments recognise that revised regulation is required to effectively manage fisheries, a lack of meaningful policy has led to the creation of private market-based sustainability regulators. The most prominent is the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC). This certification is little used in Australian fisheries however the local industry is interested to know the benefits from adopting MSC certification more widely. A meta-synthesis on the benefits of MSC certification indicates price premiums exist for some certified products in the United Kingdom and Europe but not in Asia. The transmission of this premium back to producers appears to be contingent on the supply chain structure and the existence of certified intermediaries. The cost of implementing MSC must be considered on a case-by-case basis however Australia’s current fishery management regime and government support positions producers to implement this at a relatively moderate cost. This alignment between government and the MSC may also reduce ongoing compliance costs. Further research on Australian consumer’s willingness to pay for MSC certification is required, however it is expected that as MSC becomes more established Australians will develop brand equity. There are also significant social benefits resulting from increased stakeholder engagement during certification. It therefore appears that further adoption of the MSC sustainable certification is likely to increase supply chain profitability in Australia.

description: In this dissertation, the emerging stimulated Raman scattering (SRS) microscopy in combination with various vibrational tags was extensively used to explore various aspects of biological systems. New techniques as well as new Raman active materials were also developed to facilitate the applications of SRS in biology. Chapter one introduces and comprehensively reviews vibrational tags that have been developed to date in combination with imaging techniques and their applications in biological sciences to investigate metabolism in living organisms. Chapter two studies lipotoxicity, a phenomenon that is well known but poorly understood. The study found phase separation can form on ER membrane in cells treated with long chain fatty acids due to the high transition temptation of their metabolites. It was also found that the phase separation severely disturbs normal distribution of ER membrane proteins because of hydrophobic mismatching. As the result, ER normal structure is disrupted, luminal space is collapsed, and interconnectivity of ER that ensures normal ER functions is lost. Additionally, ER stress sensor IRE1α was found to be activated directly by the formation of phase separation, which triggers apoptosis and ultimately leads to cell death. Chapter three describes the development of a new method termed as metabolic activity phenotyping (MAP) that acquires quantitative measurements of metabolic activities of individual cells, which is essential to understanding questions in diverse fields in biology. To achieve the goal, an automatic system was designed and built that improves the acquisition speed by more than 100 times compared to commercially available instruments. A set of vibrational probes with deuterium labeling was also carefully selected to enable accurate measurement of metabolic flux. Combining the merits of high throughput measurements and vibrational tags, MAP was applied to investigate the metabolic activity differences among various cancer cells, to study the heterogeneity of drug efficacy, and to facilitate breast cancer subtyping. Chapter four describes the development and application of a new class of Raman active nanoparticles, or Rdots. These Rdots were generated by non-covalently incorporating small molecule Raman probe into polymeric nanoparticles. The resulted Rdots are of compact size (~20 nm) and preserve all Raman spectral features of the small molecule probes used. Rdots were compared to other existing Raman active materials including SERS nanoparticles, and Rdots surpass all the other materials in terms of brightness. In addition, Rdots also possess narrow spectral linewidth (< 3 nm), making them ideal for multiplexed imaging. In the study, Rdots were used as immunostaining reporters to visualize cytoskeleton networks and surface markers in cell and tissue samples.

description: Let G be a finite dimensional simple complex group equipped with the standard Poisson Lie group structure. We show that all G-homogeneous (holomorphic) Poisson structures on $G/H$, where $H \subset G$ is a Cartan subgroup, come from solutions to the Classical Dynamical Yang-Baxter equations which are classified by Etingof and Varchenko. A similar result holds for the maximal compact subgroup K, and we get a family of K-homogeneous Poisson structures on $K/T$, where $T = K \cap H$ is a maximal torus of K. This family exhausts all K-homogeneous Poisson structures on $K/T$ up to isomorphisms. We study some Poisson geometrical properties of members of this family such as their symplectic leaves, their modular classes, and the moment maps for the T-action.

description: In the 1980s, Yrjö Engeström took up Leontiev’s activity theory, extending and modifying it extensively to apply it to learning in organizations. Whereas the work of Vygotsky and Leontiev represented a cultural psychology, this “third-generation” activity theory (3GAT) was arguably closer to an organizational sociology. This organizational sociology is specifically oriented to interventionist research: i.e., the consensus-driven codesign of systems of collective action. This underdiscussed orientation explains 3GAT's descriptive organizational modeling and triangle heuristic. Understanding this orientation is crucial for understanding how 2GAT was translated into 3GAT, as well as how a 4GAT might emerge in turn.

description: Advancements in technology have greatly influenced how students write, the ways they interact with readers, and the genres they create. In order to reflect real-world writing behaviors in the assessment setting and to be able to generalize test-takers’ performance from the assessment to their true writing ability, the current study investigated test-takers’ use of linguistic tools in second language academic writing assessment. The linguistic tools of interest involved three frequently used tool types: spelling, grammar, and reference tools (i.e., dictionary and thesaurus). Three highly contextualized tasks which reflect the tasks second language learners may encounter in the academic domain of language use (i.e., writing an apologetic email, a negative online review, and an opinion on a discussion board) were used as a way to elicit test-takers’ writing ability. Additionally, as a means of measuring writing performance, writing ability was defined in terms of the accuracy and/or variety of grammatical forms, semantic meanings, and pragmatic meanings produced in the written responses (Purpura, 2004, 2014, 2017).

Using a mixed methods design, the current study first analyzed the quantitative data, which included 120 test-takers’ scores on the writing test, based on an analytic rubric through classical test theory, many-facet Rasch measurement, and multivariate generalizability theory. Test-takers’ scores across assessment conditions (i.e., access to no linguistic tools, spelling, grammar, or reference tool), proficiency levels (i.e., intermediate, advanced, and proficient) and three tasks (i.e., email, online review, and discussion board post) were compared. In order to explain the reasons behind the similarities and difference across the assessment conditions, proficiency levels, and tasks found in the quantitative analyses, the qualitative data, which included screen recordings of test-takers’ process of producing text, were analyzed.

The results of the study were discussed to provide empirical evidence in supporting the domain description, evaluation, generalizability, explanation, extrapolation, and utilization claims (Kane, 2006, 2013) in regard to providing support in discussing the possibilities of allowing test-takers’ use of linguistic tools in second language writing assessment. Based on Kane’s framework for validation, the findings revealed that allowing linguistic tools—especially spelling and reference tools—in writing assessment contexts could be a possibility.

description: The latest SDSS/APOGEE data release DR14 has provided an increased number of stellar spectra in the H band and associated stellar models using an innovative algorithm known as The Cannon. We took advantage of these novelties to extract the 15 273 Å near-infrared DIB and to study its link with dust extinction and emission. We modified our automated fitting methods dedicated to hot stars and used in earlier studies with some adaptations motivated by the change from early- or intermediate-type stars to red giants. A new method has also been developed to quantify the upper limits on DIB strengths. We compared our DIB measurements with the stellar extinctions Av from the Starhorse database. We then compared the resulting DIB-extinction ratio with the dust optical depth derived from Planck data, globally and also separately for nearby off-Plane cloud complexes. Our analysis has led to the production of a catalog containing 124 064 new measurements of the 15 273 Å DIB, allowing us to revisit the correlation between DIB strength and dust reddening. The new data reveal clearly that the sky-averaged 15 273 Å DIB strength is linearly correlated with Av over two orders as reported by earlier studies but leveling-off with respect to extinction for highly reddened lines-of-sight behind dense clouds. The comparison with Planck individual optical depths reveals in a conspicuous way this DIB depletion in the dense cores and shows it applies to all off-Plane dense clouds. APOGEE measurements confirm the ubiquity of the 15 273 Å DIB carrier decrease with respect to dust grains in dense cloud cores, in a manner that can be empirically related to the dust optical depth reached in the cloud.

description: The new phase of a gauge theory in which the instantons are ``polarized'', i.e. have the preferred orientation is discussed. A class of gauge theories with the specific condensates of the scalar fields is considered. In these models there exists an interaction between instantons resulting from one-fermion loop correction. The interaction makes the identical orientation of instantons to be the most probable, permitting one to expect the system to undergo the phase transition into the state with polarized instantons. The existence of this phase is confirmed in the mean-field approximation in which there is the first order phase transition separating the ``polarized phase'' from the usual non-polarized one. The considered phase can be important for the description of gravity in the framework of the gauge field theory.

description: We present the exhaustive classification of surface states of topological insulators and superconductors protected by crystallographic magnetic point group symmetry in three spatial dimensions. Recently, Cornfeld and Chapman [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 99}, 075105 (2019)] pointed out that the topological classification of mass terms of the Dirac Hamiltonian with point group symmetry is recast as the extension problem of the Clifford algebra, and we use their results extensively. Comparing two-types of Dirac Hamiltonians with and without the mass-hedgehog potential, we establish the irreducible character formula to read off which Hamiltonian in the whole $K$-group belongs to fourth-order topological phases in three spatial dimensions, which are equivalent to atomic insulators consisting of atoms localized at the point group center.

description: Increasing prevalence and severity of undergraduate psychopathology, combined with heightened burden on college campus counseling centers and the potential for sustained distress and self-harm, has necessitated comprehensive, vertically integrated on-campus mental health services. Initiatives include preventive interventions that: 1) foster resilience and adaptive coping, 2) ameliorate sub-threshold symptoms of pathology as secondary prevention, and 3) foster well-being and meaningful student experiences for greater fulfillment and thriving. A growing body of supportive data has led to some expansion of mental health and wellness services on college campuses, including the use of spiritually integrated mind-body practices to promote well-being. While college campuses’ wellness initiatives show promise, structured spiritual-mind-body (SMB) interventions have yet to be formally tested in either open or controlled clinical trials. The primary aim of this open-trial pilot study was to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of an eight-session SMB-integrated wellness intervention, Awakened Awareness for Adolescents (AA-A), adapted specifically for late adolescent (ages 18 - 25) college students from Awakened Awareness for adults (AA) to support spiritual development and individuation. A secondary aim was to obtain preliminary data on changes in undergraduate students’ mental health and spiritual well-being across the AA-A intervention. Participants consisted of 77 non-clinically-referred undergraduates aged 18 - 24, who attended an average of M = 5.75 (SD = 1.42) out of the eight sessions. Measures included common psychopathology symptoms, spiritual well-being, psychological, and psychosocial variables using validated self-report assessments. Additionally, we explored the effect of spiritual well-being variables’ change scores as predictors of post-AA-A psychopathology symptom scores, controlling for pretest symptom scores. Differential effects between participants with high and low baseline depression symptoms were examined on outcome measures. Preliminary findings support the feasibility and acceptability of the AA-A intervention for college student’s mental health and spiritual well-being. Results include significant reductions in depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress (PTS) symptoms, and significant improvements in numerous spiritual well-being, psychological, and psychosocial variables. Further, a recovery process from high rates of PTS symptomatology and spiritual decline may be initiated by SMB interventions that foster enhanced spiritual perception and build awareness of personal and relational spirituality.

description: Parallel tempering (PT) methods are a popular class of Markov chain Monte Carlo schemes used to sample complex high-dimensional probability distributions. They rely on a collection of $N$ interacting auxiliary chains targeting tempered versions of the target distribution to improve the exploration of the state-space. We provide here a new perspective on these highly parallel algorithms and their tuning by identifying and formalizing a sharp divide in the behaviour and performance of reversible versus non-reversible PT schemes. We show theoretically and empirically that a class of non-reversible PT methods dominates its reversible counterparts and identify distinct scaling limits for the non-reversible and reversible schemes, the former being a piecewise-deterministic Markov process and the latter a diffusion. These results are exploited to identify the optimal annealing schedule for non-reversible PT and to develop an iterative scheme approximating this schedule. We provide a wide range of numerical examples supporting our theoretical and methodological contributions. The proposed methodology is applicable to sample from a distribution $π$ with a density $L$ with respect to a reference distribution $π_0$ and compute the normalizing constant. A typical use case is when $π_0$ is a prior distribution, $L$ a likelihood function and $π$ the corresponding posterior.

description: The effects of climate change are a growing threat to communities around the world. Coastal areas are especially vulnerable to flooding due to rising sea levels and extreme storm events. Long term planning efforts include both adaptation to these changes and mitigation to address the root causes of climate change. However, sometimes adaptation and mitigation efforts can counteract each other. Smart growth is a strategy that addresses many of the root causes of climate change by creating denser communities that are less reliant on automobiles. However, creating denser communities on coastal floodplains goes against adaptation measures by putting an increased number of people at risk. Controlling for external factors such as community size, land use, and housing types, this study will use an index that measures the density of population per unit of impervious surface and use qualitative, quantitative and spatial analysis methods to compare floodplain development in New Jersey, which has a smart growth plan, to Long Island, which does not have a regional growth plan.

description: For which groups $G$ is it true that for all fields $k$, every non-monomial element of the group algebra $k\,G$ generates a proper $2$-sided ideal? The only groups for which we know this are the torsion-free abelian groups. We would like to know whether it also holds for all free groups. It is shown that the above property fails for wide classes of groups: for every group $G$ that contains an element $g\neq 1$ whose image in $G/[g,G]$ has finite order (in particular, every group containing a $g\neq 1$ that itself has finite order, or that satisfies $g\in [g,G])$; and for every group containing an element $g$ which commutes with a conjugate $hgh^{-1}\neq g$ (in particular, for every nonabelian solvable group). Results are obtained on closure properties of the class of groups satisfying the stated condition. Many further questions are raised; in particular, a plausible Freiheitssatz for group algebras of free groups is noted.

description: The paper proposes a cuckoo optimization algorithm (COA) based method for fault location estimation in transmission lines. COA is a novel evolutionary algorithm, suitable for continuous nonlinear optimization problems. By the use of the introduced algorithm, fault location estimation is precisely done in the case of many false alarms. Failure performance of circuit breakers and relays or multiple simultaneous faults are also handled using the proposed method. By implementing the algorithm to large-scale power systems, we observed that faulty sections are rapidly estimated. The effectiveness of COA is confirmed by applying the algorithm to a real Brazilian power system. The simulation results are compared with several methods in the literature, namely, Artificial Bee Colony (ABC), Conventional Particle Swarm Optimization (CPSO), Type1 Particle Swarm Optimization (T1PSO) which is an altered version of PSO, and Differential Evolution (DE). The superiority of the proposed method compared to other methods is verified.

description: Let M be a closed connected manifold. Let m(M) be the Morse number of M, that is, the minimal number of critical points of a Morse function on M. Let N be a finite cover of M of degree d. M.Gromov posed the following question: what are the asymptotic properties of m(N) as d goes to infinity? In this paper we study the case of high dimensional manifolds M with free abelian fundamental group. Let x be a non-zero element of H^1(M), let M(x) be the infinite cyclic cover corresponding to x, and t be a generator of the structure group of this cover. Set M(x,k)=M(x)/t^k. We prove that the sequence m(M(x,k))/k converges as k goes to infinity. For x outside of a finite union of hyperplanes in H^1(M) we obtain the asymptotics of m(M(x,k)) as k goes to infinity, in terms of homotopy invariants of M related to Novikov homology of M.

Investigating The Role Of Signaling Pathways In Adult Stem Cells Governed By Population Asymmetry

Adult stem cells

description: Adult stem cells are vital to animal biology, tasked with replenishing cells in a variety of tissue types. Historically, there have been two contrasting models of stem cell behavior, “single-cell asymmetry,” where each stem cell is generally long lived and is responsible for perpetual daughter (non-stem) cell production, and “population asymmetry,” where a group of stem cells maintain population numbers while producing non-stem cell daughters, but individual stem cells undergo stochastic competition leading to frequent loss or amplification of individual lineages. Our work examines Drosophila ovarian Follicle Stem Cells (FSCs), which are somatic adult stem cells organized as a population of 14-16 cells within each germarium. FSCs are responsible for the production of two distinct somatic daughter cell types at opposite borders of the stem cell population. The FSCs are arranged in three anteroposterior layers; posterior “layer 1” FSCs divide faster and directly produce Follicle Cells (FCs), while anterior “layer 2 and 3” FSCs divide more slowly and give rise to Escort Cells (ECs). We have examined how signaling pathways contribute individually to FSC behavior, using clonal analysis to manipulate individual FSC genotypes and subsequently determine how autonomous FSC properties and competition among FSCs is affected. Our data indicate that Janus Kinase/Signal Transducers and Activators of Transcription (JAK-STAT) and Wnt pathways are primarily responsible for regulating location, proliferation and differentiation in FSCs. The activities of Hedgehog (Hh), Hippo (Hpo), and Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathways are also shown to be important for FSC competition.

description: It is shown that unlike the perfect fluid case, anisotropic fluids (principal stresses unequal) may be geodesic, without this implying the vanishing of (spatial) pressure gradients. Then the condition of vanishing four acceleration is integrated in non-comoving coordinates. The resulting models are necessarily dynamic, and the mass function is expressed in terms of the fluid velocity as measured by a locally Minkowskian observer. An explicit example is worked out.

On One-loop Quantum Corrections to the Thermodynamics of Charged Black Holes

description: Quantum corrections are studied for a charged black hole in a two-dimensional model obtained by spherisymmetric reduction of the 4D Einstein-Maxwell theory. The classical (tree-level) thermodynamics is re-formulated in the framework of the off-shell approach, considering systems at arbitrary temperature. This implies a conical singularity at the horizon and modifies the gravitational action by terms defined on the horizon. A consistent variational procedure for the action functional is formulated. It is shown that the free energy reaches an extremum on the regular manifold with $T=T_H$. The one-loop contribution to the action in the Liouville-Polyakov form is re-examined. All the boundary terms are taken into account and the dependence on the state of the quantum field is established. The modification of the Liouville-Polyakov term for a 2D space with a conical defect is derived. The backreaction of the Hawking radiation on the geometry is studied and the quantum-corrected black hole metric is calculated perturbatively. Within the off-shell approach the one-loop thermodynamical quantities, energy and entropy, are found. They are shown to contain a part due to hot gas surrounding he black hole and a part due to the hole itself. It is noted that the contribution of the hot gas can be eliminated by appropriate choice of the (generally, non-flat) reference geometry. The deviation of the {\it `` entropy - horizon area''} relation for the quantum-corrected black hole from the classical law is discovered and possible physical consequences are discussed.

description: Identifying university students' weaknesses results in better learning and can function as an early warning system to enable students to improve. However, the satisfaction level of existing systems is not promising. New and dynamic hybrid systems are needed to imitate this mechanism. A hybrid system (a modified Recurrent Neural Network with an adapted Grey Wolf Optimizer) is used to forecast students' outcomes. This proposed system would improve instruction by the faculty and enhance the students' learning experiences. The results show that a modified recurrent neural network with an adapted Grey Wolf Optimizer has the best accuracy when compared with other models.

description: Excavation of the former parish church of St. Nicholas, of East Angmering, revealed the foundations of a sizeable building, in which four construction phases were identified. The earliest of these was a small late Saxon church with an offset apsidal chancel. The church was enlarged c. 1200 by lengthening the nave and replacing the apsidal chancel with a rectangular one. Later came the addition of a western porch and a chapel on the south side. Finally, a tower was built, also on the south side, probably in the 15th century. The church was demolished sometime in the second half of the 16th century.

description: Electron transfer processes are investigated through conductance measurements of single molecules. Measurements are performed on metal-molecule-metal junctions using a modified scanning tunneling microscope technique. Through a series of experimental measurements, and accompanying theoretical models, the influence of the molecule on the measured current is explored. These explorations are presented in five separate chapters. In chapter two, the molecular orbitals of sp-hybridized carbon chains are discussed in detail. It is demonstrated that the molecular orbitals can assume an intriguing helical shape. In chapter three, the length-dependent conductance of sp²-hybridized carbon chains is investigated. Experiment and theory demonstrate that the conductance of odd-numbered chains is nearly uniform with length. In chapter four, a new theoretical scheme to calculate quantum interference is developed. Using this scheme, it is demonstrated that quantum interference yields the decay in conductance with length for molecular wires. In chapter five, current-voltage measurements of redox-active molecular clusters are shown to agree with a hopping transport model. In chapter six, a novel experimental setup is presented that can be used to investigate photoconductivity in single-molecule junctions. This thesis provides a broad, yet rigorous, survey of electron transfer processes in single-molecule junctions.
