description: The adsorption of CO molecule on pristine and X= (Mn and Tc) doped graphene sheets (G) in the presence and absence of applied static electric fields (SEF, 0.010-z, 0.011-z, 0.012-z, 0.013-z, 0.014-z and 0.015-z) has been investigated using density functional theory (DFT). The changes in geometric and electronic structures of all adsorption configurations were analysed to characterise the sensitivity of G towards CO molecules. Our calculated results showed that with doping Mn and Tc atoms and in the presence of SEF field, the adsorption of CO on the surface on G increased and adsorption process was chemisorptions type. The partial electronic density of states (PDOS) indicated that the doping Mn and Tc atoms and SEF combination effect increased the interaction and hybridisation between 2p orbitals of CO molecule with 2p orbitals carbon atoms of the G. According to the obtained results, due to applying X-doped and SEF, the primary symmetry of G changes significantly from the original state and thereby the chemical activity of G towards CO molecules enhanced. The results showed that Mn and Tc-doped with SEF field might be a good strategy for enhancing the CO adsorption capability on the surface of G and improving their sensor applicability.

description: Future precision cosmology from large-scale structure experiments including the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) and Euclid will probe wider and deeper cosmic volumes than those covered by previous surveys. The Cartesian power spectrum analysis of anisotropic galaxy clustering based on the Fourier plane wave basis makes a number of assumptions, including the local plane-parallel approximation, that will no longer be valid on very large scales and may degrade cosmological constraints. We propose an approach that utilises a hybrid basis: on the largest scales, clustering statistics are decomposed into spherical Fourier modes which respect the natural geometry of both survey observations and physical effects along the line of sight, such as redshift-space distortions, the Alcock--Paczyńsky and light-cone effects; on smaller scales with far more clustering modes, we retain the computational benefit of the power spectrum analysis aided by fast Fourier transforms. This approach is particularly suited to the likelihood analysis of local primordial non-Gaussianity $f_\textrm{NL}$ through the scale-dependent halo bias, and we demonstrate its applicability with $N$-body simulations. We also release our public code Harmonia (https://github.com/MikeSWang/Harmonia) for galaxy clustering likelihood inference in spherical Fourier or hybrid-basis analyses.

description: Because of excessive water impairment, federal and state agencies have enacted regulations to reduce water pollution from animal feeding operations. Many of the regulations are based on numbers of animals rather than the potential of an operator to impair water quality. To enhance efficiency, critical production indicators and location screening factors might be used to exempt operations that are not significantly impairing water quality. In this manner, regulations could avoid imposing unnecessary costs on the regulated public and more effectively target monitoring and enforcement resources of the regulatory agency.

description: Anion-π interactions play an important role in supramolecular chemistry. The aim of this work is to explore the effect of H-bonding between s-Triazine and separated molecules (HF)n(HCl)3-n on the strength of anion-π interaction in X−–s-Triazine–(HF)n(HCl)3-n (X− = F–, Cl– and CN–) complexes. The M06-2X/6-311++G(d,p) binding energies (BEs) were corrected by using B2PLYP, mPW2PLYP, M06-2X-GD3 and B2PLYP-GD3 functionals. The molecular electrostatic potential (MESP) analysis revealed that involving multiple binding sites in s-Triazine (TA) through N···H H-bonding can enhance the MESP value over the ring centre of TA so that for H-bonding complexes containing HF is greater than those of HCl. The BE results revealed that the stability of X−–TA–(HF)n(HCl)3-n anion-π complexes in each series increases as the number of HF involved in H-bonding increases. The results showed that the complexes owning F– anion with higher interaction energies display the strong cooperativity effects in the ternary systems. B2PLYP functional showed stronger intramolecular dispersion effects than M06-2X one. Besides, a correlation was found between BE, MESP, bond distances, natural bond orbitals (NBO) and atoms in molecules (AIM) data.

1,001,001 faces : a configural face navigation interface
Creators: name: Chen, Tzu-Pei Grace
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Conventional face navigation systems focus on finding new faces via facial features. Though intuitive, this method has limitations. Notably, it is geared toward finding distinctive features, and hence, does not work as effectively on "typical" faces. We present an alternative approach to searching and navigating through an overall face configuration space. To do so, we implemented an interface that shows gradients of faces arranged spatially using an n-dimensional norm-based face generation method. Because our interface allows users to observe faces holistically, facial composition information is not lost during searching, an advantage over face component methods. We compare our gradient based face navigation system with a typical, static, slider-based system in a navigation task. Then we compare it with a hybrid dynamic slider system. Results from our first pilot study show that our method is more effective at allowing users to concentrate on face navigation when compared with a static slider interface. This is helpful for face matching tasks as it reduces the number of times users must re-examine faces. Results from our second pilot study suggest that our interface is slightly more effective in coping with correlated navigation axes when compared with a dynamic slider interface. Our third pilot and the formal experiment confirm that while slider-based interfaces are more suited for converging to proximity to the target face, gradient-based interfaces are better for refinement. While it may be counter-intuitive that sliders, which are commonly used as interfaces for colour navigation, are inadequate for face matching tasks, our results suggest that new interfaces, such as our gradient-based system and dynamic sliders, are useful for navigation in higher dimensional face space.

description: Very recently, three new structures $Ξ_c(2923)^0$, $Ξ(2938)^0$, and $Ξ(2964)^0$ at the invariant mass spectrum of $Λ_c^{+}K^{-}$ observed by the LHCb Collaboration triggers a hot discussion about their inner structure. In this work, we study the strong decay mode of the newly observed $Ξ_c$ assuming that the $Ξ_c$ is a $\bar{D}Λ-\bar{D}Σ$ molecular state. With the possible quantum numbers $J^p=1/2^{\pm}$ and $3/2^{\pm}$, the partial decay widths of the $\bar{D}Λ-\bar{D}Σ$ molecular state into the $Λ_c^{+}K^{-}$, $Σ_c^{+}K^{-}$,and $Ξ_c^{+}π^{-}$ final states through hadronic loop are calculated with the help of the effective Lagrangians. By comparison with the LHCb observation, the current results of total decay width support the $Ξ(2923)^0$ as $\bar{D}Λ-\bar{D}Σ$ molecule while the decay width of the $Ξ_c(2938)^0$ and $Ξ(2964)^0$ can not be well reproduced in the molecular state picture. In addition, the calculated partial decay widths with $S$ wave $\bar{D}Λ-\bar{D}Σ$ molecular state picture indicate that allowed decay modes, $Ξ_c^{+}π^{-}$, may have the biggest branching ratios for the $Ξ_c(2923)$. The experimental measurements for this strong decay process could be a crucial test for the molecule interpretation of the $Ξ_c(2923)$.

description: We propose a market-based approach to reducing the environmental risk posed by concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). The dual problems of hidden information and hidden action faced by policymakers are considered alongside the competing incentives faced by the CAFO manager in a multiple principal-agent setting. A new approach that uses insurance-like contracts is introduced by use of the specific example of a swine operation with a lagoon-based manure management system. Index-based contingent claims contracts in tandem with third-party auditing and waste hauling options are introduced as a complement to regulatory frameworks designed to reduce negative externalities from production.
Four quark operators for kaon bag parameter with gradient flow

description: To study the CP-violation using the $K_0-\bar{K}_0$ oscillation, we need the kaon bag parameter which represents QCD corrections in the leading Feynman diagrams. The lattice QCD provides us with the only way to evaluate the kaon bag parameter directly from the first principles of QCD. However, a calculation of relevant four quark operators with theoretically sound Wilson-type lattice quarks had to carry a numerically big burden of extra renormalizations and resolution of extra mixings due to the explicit chiral violation. Recently, the Small Flow-time eXpansion (SFtX) method was proposed as a general method based on the gradient flow to correctly calculate any renormalized observables on the lattice, irrespective of the explicit violations of related symmetries on the lattice. To apply the SFtX method, we need matching coefficients, which relate finite operators at small flow-times in the gradient flow scheme to renormalized observables in conventional renormalization schemes. In this paper, we calculate the matching coefficients for four quark operators and quark bi-linear operators, relevant to the kaon bag parameter.

description: We build upon our previous analytical results for the Penna model of senescence to include positive mutations. We investigate whether a small but non-zero positive mutation rate gives qualitatively different results to the traditional Penna model in which no positive mutations are considered. We find that the high-lifespan tail of the distribution is radically changed in structure, but that there is not much effect on the bulk of the population. Th e mortality plateau that we found previously for a stochastic generalization of the Penna model is stable to a small positive mutation rate.

description: The arable crop sector (COP) occupies a prominent position within the European Union’s agricultural sector. Within Spain, the COP sector accounts for almost a third of total Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund expenses, and a half of the utilised agricultural area. The COP sector is not only relevant because of its physical and economic magnitude, but also because of the political attention it receives. The Common Agricultural Policy reforms that occurred during the 1990s paid special attention to this sector. This paper aims at determining the impacts of Agenda 2000 on a sample of Spanish COP farmers’ production decisions by using an output-oriented stochastic distance function. The distance function allows assessing the reform-motivated changes on total output, input used, input composition and crop mix. It also permits to assess the impacts of the reform on farms’ technical efficiency. Results show that the reform has shifted outwards the production frontier and changed output composition in favour of voluntary set aside land. With respect to input composition, Agenda 2000 has induced a decrease in land, fertilizers and other inputs in favour of labour. In addition, Agenda 2000 had a negative impact on technical efficiency.

description: We study the performance of efficient quantum state tomography methods based on neural network quantum states using measured data from a two-photon experiment. Machine learning inspired variational methods provide a promising route towards scalable state characterization for quantum simulators. While the power of these methods has been demonstrated on synthetic data, applications to real experimental data remain scarce. We benchmark and compare several such approaches by applying them to measured data from an experiment producing two-qubit entangled states. We find that in the presence of experimental imperfections and noise, confining the variational manifold to physical states, i.e. to positive semi-definite density matrices, greatly improves the quality of the reconstructed states but renders the learning procedure more demanding. Including additional, possibly unjustified, constraints, such as assuming pure states, facilitates learning, but also biases the estimator.

description: We extend our studies of microwave photoresistance of ultra-high mobility two-dimensional electron system (2DES) into the high-intensity, non-linear regime employing both monochromatic and bichromatic radiation. Under high-intensity monochromatic radiation $ω$ we observe new zero-resistance states (ZRS) which correspond to rational values of $ε=ω/ω_C$ ($ω_C$ is the cyclotron frequency) and can be associated with multiphoton processes. %Formation of these rational ZRS is accompanied by a dramatic reconstruction of the photoresistance spectrum which reveals diminishing, narrowing, and phase reduction of the resistance peaks, as well as overall suppression of resistance at $ε<1/2$. Under bichromatic radiation $ω_1,ω_2$ we discover new resistance minimum, possibly a precursor of bichromatic ZRS, which seems to originate from a frequency mixing process, $ω_1+ω_2$. These findings indicate that multiphoton processes play important roles in the physics of non-equilibrium transport of microwave-driven 2DES, and suggest new directions for theoretical and experimental studies.

description: A Molecular Electron Density Theory (MEDT) study of the mechanism, the regioselectivity and the stereoselectivity of the Diels–Alder reactions between electron-rich and electron-deficient pyridinones and ethylenes using DFT methods at the B3LYP/6-31G(d) theoretical level has been performed. The CDFT reactivity indices show that pyridinone 1 and benyloxyethylene 4 are strong nucleophiles, while nitroethylene 3 and pyridinone 2 are strong electrophiles. The change of the electronic character of the substituent of pyridinones or ethylenes provokes a change in their reactivity and the electrophilic and nucleophilic behaviours. These DA reactions proceed through a relatively asynchronous polar mechanism and favour kinetically the formation of the cycloadduct generated from ortho-exo approach, in agreement with the experimental data. The van der Waals’ favourable interactions at ortho-exo approaches are the reasons for the stabilisation of these systems and explain well the observed experimental ortho-exo selectivity.

description: The aim of this paper is twofold. Firstly, we investigate the regional distribution of support of EU’s Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Also, we employ structural data of the regions to calculate average farm revenues and to show how support and revenues have developed over time. We analyse the stabilisation effect generated by these transfers. This is investigated for the market price support, the first pillar payments and one agri-environmental program. Secondly, several parameters affecting level of support, development of support and instability of support are analysed, such as natural conditions for farming and regional economic structure. New contributions to the literature are the use of community data and the inclusion of a second-pillar program. The results show that there is an overall stabilisation effect of the EU’s CAP but this effect is not equal for all regions. Furthermore, our findings indicate that favourable natural conditions increase the level of support per farm.

description: The cycloaddition of carbon dioxide with aziridine into cyclic carbamate catalysed by purine/HI has been investigated using exchange–correlation functional B3LYP of DFT and the 6-31+G(d,p) basis set for non-iodine atoms and the LANL2DZ for iodine in order to understand the catalytic efficiency of purine/HI system. Two hypothetical reaction mechanisms were proposed for the studied reaction in each catalyst systems. Thermodynamic and kinetic parameters were computed for each step to determine the more favourable route. The calculations reveal that the reaction prefers to proceed through a three-step mechanism in both purine and purine/HI catalyst system. HI plays a co-catalytic role to promote the initial ring-opening of aziridine. The obtained results emphasise purine/HI system had better catalytic efficiency than purine and mechanism II of purine/HI catalysed reaction is more favourable than mechanism I. The more favourable pathway comprises three steps such as ring-opening of aziridine by iodine anion, CO2 insertion and ring-closure. The CO2 insertion step was determined as barrierless. The ring-opening of aziridine was rate-determining step which requires 16.79, 16.33, and 15.94 kcal/mol in the gas phase, water and diethyl ether (better), respectively. Finally, this work endorsed that purine/HI is an effective catalyst for CO2 fixation with aziridine.

description: Bolivia is one of the largest developing countries in South America that has been received the aid from the international cooperation since the seventies. Many programmes and projects were implemented across the territories of the country in the aim to reduce the poverty. However, the experiences claim that despite of some important results obtained, the international cooperation is one of the main actors responsible for the external dependence on the territories and their commitment to build up a sustainable model of rural development that can overcome the problem of poverty fails. At the same time, it is demonstrated that the most successful experiences of local producers’ organizations are heavily depended on the external aid showing the economical fragility on local organizations to face the market competence without the external aid. This research, based on Samaritan’s dilemma behaviour in the powerful organization, tries to answer how the rural producer organization performance is influenced by international cooperation? This investigation focuses on the analysis of the patterns of interactions of both organizations. The case study considers a dairy farming association in the country that was funded for almost 15 years and their economical sustainability remains vulnerable despite the efforts bring to make the organization competitive. The main results remark that the unequal distribution of power in both organizations is one of the factors that cause the strong influence of the international cooperation on rural producers’ organizations, and consequently the international cooperation is co-responsible in the external dependence on the local organization, as well as, to be responsible of the influence on the cultural factors in the community.

description: The cottage food processing industry in Thailand comprises mainly small-scale enterprises such as the ‘housewives groups’ that consist of a number of housewives who combine their food processing activities in a particular district or village. The effects of various factors on the performance of these housewives groups is assessed using survey data to estimate a stochastic input distance model. Our results show that membership of vertical strategic alliances at a high level is associated with higher levels of technical efficiency. Other factors positively influencing technical efficiency within these groups are the level of experience of group members, the ratio of workers to total members, government support, the community base of the group as opposed to private ownership, and the availability of funds to invest in business activities that have been derived from savings activities by group members. The ability of housewives groups to exploit cost complementarities by combining fruit and vegetable processing activities is tested by estimating scope and diversification economies for fruit and vegetable processed outputs. While diversification economies were found to exist, the more rigorous test for scope economies did not support their existence.

description: Low-ionization-state far-infrared (FIR) emission lines may be useful diagnostics of star-formation activity in young galaxies, and at high redshift may be detectable from the ground. In practice, however, very little is known concerning how strong such line emission might be in the early Universe. We attempted to detect the 158 micron [C II] line from a lensed galaxy at z = 4.926 using the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory. This source is an ordinary galaxy, in the sense that it shows high but not extreme star formation, but lensing makes it visible. Our analysis includes a careful consideration of the calibrations and weighting of the individual scans. We find only modest improvement over the simpler reduction methods, however, and the final spectrum remains dominated by systematic baseline ripple effects. We obtain a 95 per cent confidence upper limit of 33 mJy for a 200 km/s full width at half maximum line, corresponding to an unlensed luminosity of 1x10^9 L_sun for a standard cosmology. Combining this with a marginal detection of the continuum emission using the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope, we derive an upper limit of 0.4 per cent for the ratio of L_CII/L_FIR in this object.

description: The first-order relativistic fluid theories of dissipation proposed by Eckart and Landau-Lifshitz have been proved to be unstable. They admit solutions which start in proximity of equilibrium and depart exponentially from it. We show that this behaviour is due to the fact that the total entropy of these fluids, restricted to the dynamically accessible states, has no upper bound. As a result, these systems have the tendency to constantly change according to the second law of thermodynamics and the unstable modes represent the directions of growth of the entropy in state space. We, then, verify that the conditions of stability of Israel and Stewart's theory are exactly the requirements for the entropy to have an absolute maximum. Hence, we explain how the instability of the first-order theories is a direct consequence of the truncation of the entropy current at the first order, which turns the maximum into a saddle point of the total entropy. Finally, we show that recently proposed first-order stable theories, constructed using more general frames, do not solve the instability problem by providing a maximum for the entropy, but, rather, are made stable by allowing for small violations of the second law.

description: In a previous report we used the Linked Dipole Chain model unintegrated gluon densities to investigate the uncertainties in the predictions for central exclusive production of scalars at hadron colliders. Here we expand this investigation by also looking at other parameterizations of the unintegrated gluon density, and look in more detail on the behavior of these at small k_T. We confirm our conclusions that the luminosity function for central exclusive production is very sensitive to this behavior. However, we also conclude that the available densities based on the CCFM and LDC evolutions are not constrained enough to give reliable predictions even for inclusive Higgs production at the LHC.

Direct surface extraction from 3D freehand ultrasound images
Creators: name: Zhang, Youwei
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Surface extraction from ultrasound data is challenging for a number of reasons, including noise and artifacts in the images and non-uniform data sampling. This thesis presents a new technique for the extraction of surfaces from freehand 3D ultrasound data. Most available 3D medical visualization methods fall into two categories: volume rendering and surface rendering. Surface rendering is chosen here because one of the long term goals of this thesis is explicit modelling of organs. Recent progress has been made in surface extraction for a range data or an unorganized data set, by using Radial Basis Functions (RBFs) to represent the whole space with a signed distance function. Instead of using geometric distance as in previous work, this thesis proposes to use pixel intensity directly as a distance function. A new implementation of a freehand 3D ultrasound acquisition system is also introduced in this thesis using a trinocular optical tracking system with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) attached to an ultrasound probe. To calibrate the transformation between the ultrasound image coordinate system and the LED coordinate system, an N-wire calibration phantom was designed. High accuracy is obtained by using multiple images to oversample the calibration points and reduce the level of error. To complete the calibration, geometry of the calibration phantom is measured using a pointing device that is also based on optical tracking. Once calibrated, the 3D freehand ultrasound system is used to scan an object. The images obtained, along with the measured positions, are the inputs of the RBF surface extraction algorithm. First an automatic segmentation method is used to trim extraneous data points to reduce computational demands. Then the data is interpolated by the RBFs, and a surface extracted along isovalued regions. Results using the direct surface extraction method with RBF are shown to successfully extract ultrasound surfaces from thepoint cloud. Surfaces of both phantom and human skin are shown with high fidelity of shape and details. " In summary, this research is the first to represent the set of semi-structured ultrasound pixel data as a single function. From this, we are able to extract realistic surfaces without first reconstructing the irregularly spaced pixels into a regular 3D voxel array. The main advantage of this new approach is to avoid any loss of information normally associated with reconstruction of voxel array.
Measurement-Induced Action Increment as a Mechanism for Wave Function Collapse in Quantum Mechanics
Creators: name: Angeletti, Fabricio Alfredo
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: The paper suggests that when we observe something in quantum mechanics, it changes a physical quantity related to energy and time. This change stops the strange quantum behavior, making the system act more predictably, like in classical physics. The author, Fabricio Alfredo Angeletti, uses calculations to support this idea, proposes experiments to test it, compares it to other theories, and mentions possible uses in quantum technology.

description: A recent analysis of the He4 abundance determined from observations of extragalactic HII regions indicates a significantly greater uncertainty for the He4 mass fraction. The derived value is now in line with predictions from big bang nucleosynthesis when the baryon density determined by WMAP is assumed. Based on this new analysis of He4, we derive constraints on a host of particle properties which include: limits on the number of relativistic species at the time of BBN (commonly taken to be the limit on neutrino flavors), limits on the variations of fundamental couplings such as alpha_{em} and G_N, and limits on decaying particles.
