description: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between the career-choice attitudes of a sample of Jordanian secondary-school students, as assessed through the Career Maturity Inventory Attitude Scale, Form A-I (CMI) and certain census characteristics, and to draw implications from the findings regarding their meaning for teachers, counselors and administrators in high schools in Jordan. The census characteristics are gender, habitat, environment (rural or urban), socio-economic status (educational level of parents), type of school attended (public or private), grade level (10th, 11th or 12th). Five hypotheses were developed and tested. Each pertains to the relationship between the Career Maturity Inventory (dependent variable) Attitude Scale, Form A-I (CMI) score and a census variable (independent variable). Study subjects were 841 high school students enrolled in grade 10, 11, or 12 in Jordan. They were selected from 28 schools in the three largest metropolitan areas in the following regions: Irbid; Amman; and Al Karak. Two instruments, the CMI (translated into Arabic) and Personal Data Inventory were used to obtain data for hypotheses testing. Data collection was undertaken in the spring of the 1988-1989 academic year. Study hypotheses were tested utilizing the analysis of variance statistic through the Statistical Package for Social Science Program. The standard set for significance was.05. Of the five study hypotheses, four were confirmed indicating a significant relationship between the career choice attitudes and each, the grade level, the type of school attended, the urban or rural location of the school, and the educational level of parents of the sample of Jordanian students. These findings when compared with those of studies reviewed in the development of the research (which concerned mainly American high school students) would seem to support the conclusion that there is a notable resemblance between Jordanian and American high school students with regard to patterning of career choice attitudes. A number of implications regarding career guidance in Jordanian high schools are included in a discussion of study findings.

description: Quantum error correction (QEC) is fundamental for suppressing noise in quantum hardware and enabling fault-tolerant quantum computation. In this paper, we propose an efficient verification framework for QEC programs. We define an assertion logic and a program logic specifically crafted for QEC programs and establish a sound proof system. We then develop an efficient method for handling verification conditions (VCs) of QEC programs: for Pauli errors, the VCs are reduced to classical assertions that can be solved by SMT solvers, and for non-Pauli errors, we provide a heuristic algorithm. We formalize the proposed program logic in Coq proof assistant, making it a verified QEC verifier. Additionally, we implement an automated QEC verifier, Veri-QEC, for verifying various fault-tolerant scenarios. We demonstrate the efficiency and broad functionality of the framework by performing different verification tasks across various scenarios. Finally, we present a benchmark of 14 verified stabilizer codes.

description: We study the dynamics of the the spin zero open charm and beauty mesons using QCD spectral sum rules (QSSR), where we observe the important rôle of the chiral condensate in the mass-splittings between the scalar-pseudoscalar mesons. Fixing the sum rule parameters for reproducing the well-known D(0-) and Ds(0-) masses, we re-obtain the running charm quark mass: mc(mc)=1.13^{+0.08}_{-0.04} GeV, which confirms our recent estimate from this channel [1]. Therefore, using sum rules, with no-free parameters, we deduce M_{Ds(0+)}= (2297+- 113) MeV, which is consistent with the observed Ds(2317) meson, while a small SU(3) breaking of about 25 MeV for the Ds(0+)-D(0+) mass-difference has been obtained. We extend our analysis to the B-system and find M{B(0+)}- M{B(0-)}= (422+- 196) MeV confirming our old result from moment sum rules [2]. Assuming an approximate (heavy and light) flavour and spin symmetries of the mass-splittings as indicated by our results, we also deduce M_{D*s(1+)}= (2440+-113) MeV in agreement with the observed D{sJ}(2457). We also get: f{D(0+)}= (217+- 25) MeV much bigger than fpi=130.6 MeV, while the size of the SU(3) breaking ratio f{Ds(0+)}/f{D(0+)}= 0.93+- 0.02 is opposite to the one of the 0- channel of about 1.14.

description: With the arrival of the New Student Union Building at UBC Vancouver, UBC Campus will experience many new features that will advance and support great student life. Included in those features are Food and Beverage delivery services provided by the Alma Mater Society. As the AMS is a large stakeholder in the New SUB project, they have brought upon some goals and requirements as part of their initiative. The AMS wishes to see the New SUB reach and withhold a platinum level LEED standing while actively being a part of the community. Part of the AMS initiative included revamping the current F&B delivery state. Currently, the AMS does F&B delivery on campus using standard vehicles, which means emissions and dependent on the time of day, traffic congestion. This report details viable alternatives and their pros and cons. As the AMS initiative also included the sustainability factor, this report takes that into heavy consideration while conducting research regarding the alternatives. As F&B delivery is high in demand for on campus students, this report details three specific variations of electric bicycles, as a very feasible alternative. Students living on campus were surveyed asking for their preference on various topics and keeping sustainability in mind, this report has found that one model in particular was favored over others in all aspects. A Triple Bottom Line analysis was also conducted for all alternatives discussed and the TBL assessment correlates with the results acquired from the survey positively. With the development of the New SUB, new ideals for sustainability are required, and this report portrays realistic suggestions for the Alma Mater Society at UBC Vancouver.

description: Static concepts of multiproduct economies of scale and scope are extended into a dynamic setting within the cost of adjustment framework. Their most important properties are developed and the foundations for a dynamic theory of the firm that generalizes the neoclassical theory of the firm are presented. The dynamic measures of scope and scale as well as shadow costs are empirically estimated for multiple-output, multiple-input German "dairy" (arms operating under a production quota. Possible causes of economies of scope are explored and a conceptual model to predict the evolution of the production structure of German farms is formulated.

description: We present experimental results for Rayleigh-Benard convection patterns in a cylindrical container with static side-wall forcing induced by a heater. This forcing stabilized a pattern of concentric rolls (a target pattern) with the central roll (the umbilicus) at the center of the cell after a jump from the conduction to the convection state. A quasi-static increase of the control parameter (epsilon) beyond 0.8 caused the umbilicus of the pattern to move off center. As observed by others, a further quasi-static increase of epsilon up to 15.6 caused a sequence of transitions. Each transition began with the displacement of the umbilicus and then proceeded with the loss of one convection roll at the umbilicus and the return of the umbilicus to a location near the center of the cell. Alternatively, with decreasing epsilon new rolls formed at the umbilicus but large umbilicus displacements did not occur. In addition to quantitative measurements of the umbilicus displacement, we determined and analyzed the entire wave-director field of each image. The wave numbers varied in the axial direction, with minima at the umbilicus and at the cell wall and a maximum at a radial position close to 2/3 Gamma. The wave numbers at the maximum showed hysteretic jumps at the transitions, but on average agreed well with the theoretical predictions for the wave numbers selected in the far field of an infinitely extended target pattern.

The metaphysical consequences of the theory of nonstatistical probability in A. N. Whitehead
Creators: name: Fluharty, Chieko Victoria
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: Non-statistical judgments of probability are much overlooked elements in the metaphysics of A. N. Whitehead. In addition to the notorious category of creativity which expresses pure indeterminacy, the origination of novelty includes the resolution of indeterminations within a presupposed environment. This judgment of non-statistical probability gives direction and order to creative events which would otherwise lead to chaos if left to the influence of creativity alone. To elucidate this structure of Whitehead's notion of becoming, several views of the world are presented. First, the principles of creativity and non-statistical probability are compared with their apparent equivalents in the neoplatonic philosophy of Plotinus, the category of Matter and the principle of sympatheia. Then Whitehead's concept of creativity is contrasted with Herbert Spencer's definition of evolution to disclose a nonquantifiable element in Whitehead's account. Finally the behavior of systems in nonequilibrium conditions as proposed by Ilya Prigogine is examined as it relates to Whitehead's creative advance into novelty. The common vision presented by these varied areas is that disorder is a necessary component of a creative advance. The tendency for disorder to transform into complexity involves processes exhibiting a non-statistical ground for a probability judgment. Instability and conflict provide the opportunities for the rise of novelty and the formation of new structures. They are the driving force of the universe. This is precisely the meaning of Whitehead's dictum that it is more important for a proposition to be interesting than for it to be true.

description: The magnetic field structure of a star-forming Bok globule BHR 71 was determined based on near-infrared polarimetric observations of background stars. The magnetic field in BHR 71 was mapped from 25 stars. By using a simple 2D parabolic function, the plane-of-sky magnetic axis of the core was found to be $θ_{\rm mag} = 125^{\circ} \pm 11^{\circ}$. The plane-of-sky mean magnetic field strength of BHR 71 was found to be $B_{\rm pos} = 8.8 - 15.0$ $μ$G, indicating that the BHR 71 core is magnetically supercritical with $λ= 1.44 - 2.43$. Taking into account the effect of thermal/turbulent pressure and the plane-of-sky magnetic field component, the critical mass of BHR 71 was $M_{\rm cr} = 14.5-18.7$ M$_{\odot}$, which is consistent with the observed core mass of $M_{\rm core} \approx 14.7$ M$_{\odot}$ (Yang et al. 2017). We conclude that BHR 71 is in a condition close to a kinematically critical state, and the magnetic field direction lies close to the plane of sky. Since BHR 71 is a star-forming core, a significantly subcritical condition (i.e., the magnetic field direction deviating from the plane of sky) is unlikely, and collapsed from a condition close to a kinematically critical state. There are two possible scenarios to explain the curved magnetic fields of BHR 71, one is an hourglass-like field structure due to mass accumulation and the other is the Inoue \& Fukui (2013) mechanism, which proposes the interaction of the core with a shock wave to create curved magnetic fields wrapping around the core.

Information-Theoretic Lower Bounds for Zero-Order Stochastic Gradient Estimation

description: In this paper we analyze the necessary number of samples to estimate the gradient of any multidimensional smooth (possibly non-convex) function in a zero-order stochastic oracle model. In this model, an estimator has access to noisy values of the function, in order to produce the estimate of the gradient. We also provide an analysis on the sufficient number of samples for the finite difference method, a classical technique in numerical linear algebra. For $T$ samples and $d$ dimensions, our information-theoretic lower bound is $Ω(\sqrt{d/T})$. We show that the finite difference method for a bounded-variance oracle has rate $O(d^{4/3}/\sqrt{T})$ for functions with zero third and higher order derivatives. These rates are tight for Gaussian oracles. Thus, the finite difference method is not minimax optimal, and therefore there is space for the development of better gradient estimation methods.

description: The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the value of the Constant Difference Elasticity (CDE) functional form in applied general equilibrium analysis. It is a natural generalization of the commonly used CES form which permits the researcher to calibrate preferences to complete vectors of own-price and income elasticities. Similarly revenue and cost functions may be calibrated to appropriate vectors of compensated own-price elasticities of supply and demand. Because the CDE is an implicit functional form, its incorporation into a CGE model requires some additional steps. These are discussed and a tworegion, three good illustration is provided.

description: We propose a new interpretation of the c=1 matrix model as the world-line theory of N unstable D-particles, in which the hermitian matrix is provided by the non- abelian open string tachyon. For D-particles in 1+1-d string theory, we find a direct quantitative match between the closed string emission due to a rolling tachyon and that due to a rolling eigenvalue in the matrix model. We explain the origin of the double-scaling limit, and interpret it as an extreme representative of a large equivalence class of dual theories. Finally, we define a concrete decoupling limit of unstable D-particles in IIB string theory that reduces to the c=1 matrix model, suggesting that 1+1-d string theory represents the near-horizon limit of an ultra-dense gas of IIB D-particles.

description: The infrared source known as Orion n was detected in 1980 with observations made with the 3.8-m United Kingdom Infrared Telescope. About two decades later, sensitive observations made with the Very Large Array revealed the presence of a mJy double radio source apparently coincident in position with the infrared source n. The radio source was assumed to be the counterpart of the infrared source. However, over the years it has been concluded that the radio source shows large proper motions to the south while the infrared source n is stationary. Here we reanalyze the proper motions of the radio source adding both older and newer VLA observations than previously used. We confirm the proper motions of the radio source that at present no longer coincides positionally with the infrared source. The solution to this problem is, most probably, that the infrared source n and the radio source are not the same object: the infrared source is a stationary object in the region while the radio counterpart is moving as a result of the explosion that took place in this region some 500 years ago and that expelled large amounts of molecular gas as well as several compact sources. Considering the paper where it was first reported, we refer to this double radio source as Orion MR. In addition, we use these new observations to fully confirm the large proper motions of the sources IRc23 and Zapata 11. Together with sources BN, I, Orion MR, and x, there are at least six compact sources that recede from a point in common in Orion BN/KL. However, IRc23 is peculiar in that its ejection age appears to be only $\sim$300 years. The relatively large number of sources rules out as a possible mechanism the classic three-body scenario since then only two escaping bodies are expected: a tight binary plus the third star involved in the encounter.

description: In comparing the efficacy of two drugs in the treatment of a disease, using each patient as his own control by trying both drugs on each patient at different times and comparing the results patient by patient has great appeal. This idea has led to the experimental designs called the crossover or changeover designs. Although crossover designs eliminate between-experimental-unit variation from treatment comparisons, other problems arise in the form of carryover or residual effects. Various aspects of two-treatment crossover and three-period two-treatment crossover designs have been discussed in the literature. Under certain covariance patterns, baseline adjustments using analysis of covariance procedures on the first baseline value may give a more efficient estimate of treatment effect in a two-period two-treatment crossover design. The efficiency of this estimator is compared to other estimators which have been proposed previously. The result of a preliminary test of hypothesis that carryover effects of two treatments are equal is used to define an estimator $\\phi\sb\*$ for the treatment effect. The bias and mean square error of the preliminary test on which the validity of two-period crossover design is based are examined and the regions in the parameter space in which $\ \phi\sb\*$ has smaller mean square error than the between subject estimator are determined. The efficiency of this estimator relative to the between subject estimator is tabulated. These tables can be used to determine a proper choice of significance level of the preliminary test. The use of three periods in the two-treatment unbalanced crossover design for clinical trials is considered here. A design involving two-treatment sequences is found to have the property of orthogonality between treatment effect and carryover effect. It is shown that the analysis using the least squares method with Grizzle's assumptions (on the random components) will lead to an intra-inter block estimate of treatment effects.

description: Guatteria scandens Ducke (1925: 10) (Annonaceae) .
 Lectotype (designated here):—BRAZIL. Pará: Breves, Macujubinzinho, 28 September 1919 , A. Ducke HJBR 11379 (RB 2 sheets; photo F). Syntype: A. Ducke HJBR 17874 (MO, RB, S).
 Fries (1939: 483) indicated the specimen A. Ducke HJBR 17874 as “Typus speciei” of G. scandens. However, the sheet with this number comprises two specimens with distinct dates (10 November 1922, fruit black, and 10 May 1923, flower green). However this cannot be treated as a single specimen, as its parts were collected at different times (Art. 8.2 of the ICNB, McNeill et al. 2006); consequently Fries’s statement does not constitute an effective lectotypification, even as a first stage lectotypification. We have selected as lectotype the other specimen cited in the protologue by Ducke (1925).

description: In the hierarchical structure formation model of the universe, galaxy clusters are assembled through a series of mergers. Accordingly, it is expected that galaxy clusters in the early universe are actively forming and dynamically young. Located at a high redshift of z=1.71, SpARCS1049+56 offers a unique look into the galaxy cluster formation process. This cluster has been shown to be rich in cluster galaxies and to have intense star formation. Its high redshift pushes a weak-lensing analysis beyond the regime of the optical spectrum into that of the infrared. Equipped with deep Hubble Space Telescope Wide Field Camera 3 UVIS and IR observations, we present a weak-lensing characterization of SpARCS1049+56. As few IR weak-lensing studies have been performed, we discuss the details of PSF modeling and galaxy shape measurement for an IR weak-lensing procedure and the systematics that come with the territory. It will be critical to understand these systematics in future weak-lensing studies in the IR with the next generation space telescopes such as JWST, Euclid, and WFIRST. Through a careful analysis, the mass distribution of this young galaxy cluster is mapped and the convergence peak is detected at a 3.3 sigma level. The weak-lensing mass of the cluster is estimated to be $3.5\pm1.2\times10^{14}\ \text{M}_\odot$ and is consistent with the mass derived from a mass-richness scaling relation. This mass is extreme for a cluster at such a high redshift and suggests that SpARCS1049+56 is rare in the standard $Λ$CDM universe.

The two-treatment crossover experiment for clinical trials

Publisher: name: American University

description: In comparing the efficacy of two drugs in the treatment of a disease, using each patient as his own control by trying both drugs on each patient at different times and comparing the results patient by patient has great appeal. This idea has led to the experimental designs called the crossover or changeover designs. Although crossover designs eliminate between-experimental-unit variation from treatment comparisons, other problems arise in the form of carryover or residual effects. Various aspects of two-treatment crossover and three-period two-treatment crossover designs have been discussed in the literature. Under certain covariance patterns, baseline adjustments using analysis of covariance procedures on the first baseline value may give a more efficient estimate of treatment effect in a two-period two-treatment crossover design. The efficiency of this estimator is compared to other estimators which have been proposed previously. The result of a preliminary test of hypothesis that carryover effects of two treatments are equal is used to define an estimator $\\phi\sb\*$ for the treatment effect. The bias and mean square error of the preliminary test on which the validity of two-period crossover design is based are examined and the regions in the parameter space in which $\ \phi\sb\*$ has smaller mean square error than the between subject estimator are determined. The efficiency of this estimator relative to the between subject estimator is tabulated. These tables can be used to determine a proper choice of significance level of the preliminary test. The use of three periods in the two-treatment unbalanced crossover design for clinical trials is considered here. A design involving two-treatment sequences is found to have the property of orthogonality between treatment effect and carryover effect. It is shown that the analysis using the least squares method with Grizzle's assumptions (on the random components) will lead to an intra-inter block estimate of treatment effects.
Multipole Vectors--a new representation of the CMB sky and evidence for statistical anisotropy or non-Gaussianity at 2<=l<=8

description: We propose a novel representation of cosmic microwave anisotropy maps, where each multipole order l is represented by l unit vectors pointing in directions on the sky and an overall magnitude. These "multipole vectors and scalars" transform as vectors under rotations. Like the usual spherical harmonics, multipole vectors form an irreducible representation of the proper rotation group SO(3). However, they are related to the familiar spherical harmonic coefficients, alm, in a nonlinear way, and are therefore sensitive to different aspects of the CMB anisotropy. Nevertheless, it is straightforward to determine the multipole vectors for a given CMB map and we present an algorithm to compute them. Using the WMAP full-sky maps, we perform several tests of the hypothesis that the CMB anisotropy is statistically isotropic and Gaussian random. We find that the result from comparing the oriented area of planes defined by these vectors between multipole pairs 2<=l1!=l2<=8 is inconsistent with the isotropic Gaussian hypothesis at the 99.4% level for the ILC map and at 98.9% level for the cleaned map of Tegmark et al. A particular correlation is suggested between the l=3 and l=8 multipoles, as well as several other pairs. This effect is entirely different from the now familiar planarity and alignment of the quadrupole and octupole: while the aforementioned is fairly unlikely, the multipole vectors indicate correlations not expected in Gaussian random skies that make them unusually likely. The result persists after accounting for pixel noise and after assuming a residual 10% dust contamination in the cleaned WMAP map. While the definitive analysis of these results will require more work, we hope that multipole vectors will become a valuable tool for various cosmological tests, in particular those of cosmic isotropy.
description: 15 pages, 5 figures. See http://www.phys.cwru.edu/projects/mpvectors/ for more information, images, and code. Inhomogeneous pix noise added to all MCs, quadrupole corrected for kinematic motion, results essentially unchanged. Clarifications in the description of the multipole vectors have been made.

description: Bose-Einstein condensates of exciton-polaritons are known for their fascinating coherent and polarization properties. The spin state of the condensate is reflected in polarization of the exciton-polariton emission, with temporal fluctuations of this polarization being, in general, capable of reflecting quantum statistics of polaritons in the condensate. To study the polarization properties of optically trapped polariton condensates, we take advantage of the spin noise spectroscopy technique. The ratio between the noise of ellipticity of the condensate emission and its polarization plane rotation noise is found to be dependent, in a nontrivial way, on the intensity of CW nonresonant laser pumping. We show that the interplay between the ellipticity and the rotation noise can be explained in terms of the competition between the self-induced Larmor precession of the condensate pseudospin and the static polarization anisotropy of the microcavity.
