description: We review our theoretical work on the dynamics of a localized electron spin interacting with an environment of nuclear spins. Our perturbative calculation is valid for arbitrary polarization p of the nuclear spin system and arbitrary nuclear spin I in a sufficiently large magnetic field. In general, the electron spin shows rich dynamics, described by a sum of contributions with exponential decay, non-exponential decay, and undamped oscillations. We have found an abrupt crossover in the long-time spin dynamics at a critical shape and dimensionality of the electron envelope wave function. We conclude with a discussion of our proposed scheme to measure the relevant dynamics using a standard spin-echo technique.

description: We consider the statistical inference problem of recovering an unknown perfect matching, hidden in a weighted random graph, by exploiting the information arising from the use of two different distributions for the weights on the edges inside and outside the planted matching. A recent work has demonstrated the existence of a phase transition, in the large size limit, between a full and a partial recovery phase for a specific form of the weights distribution on fully connected graphs. We generalize and extend this result in two directions: we obtain a criterion for the location of the phase transition for generic weights distributions and possibly sparse graphs, exploiting a technical connection with branching random walk processes, as well as a quantitatively more precise description of the critical regime around the phase transition.

description: We investigate the problem of introducing consistent self-couplings in free theories for mixed tensor gauge fields whose symmetry properties are characterized by Young diagrams made of two columns of arbitrary (but different) lengths. We prove that, in flat space, these theories admit no local, Poincaré-invariant, smooth, self-interacting deformation with at most two derivatives in the Lagrangian. Relaxing the derivative and Lorentz-invariance assumptions, there still is no deformation that modifies the gauge algebra, and in most cases no deformation that alters the gauge transformations.Our approach is based on a BRST-cohomology deformation procedure.

Voices in favour : a study of support for a third crossing of Burrard Inlet
Creators: name: Johnson, Melissa Christine
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Planning theorists often espouse the value of citizen participation and the sharing of ideas and opinions in planning processes, and encourage collaborative discussions between professionals and the public. On the issue of sustainability planning, there can be many differing beliefs and opinions within society. In order to construct meaningful dialogue around sustainability goals, it is important for planners to understand the diverse opinions of the public. This thesis examines the belief systems of people who support the idea of building a "third crossing" of Vancouver's Burrard Inlet, looking to draw conclusions that could be useful in planning for similar transportation infrastructure projects. I interviewed nine third crossing supporters using two theories from psychology and social psychology, Leon Festinger's notion of cognitive dissonance and Daniel Yankelovich's definitions of mass opinion and public judgment, to identify conflict within beliefs and evaluate the quality of opinion. I discovered that cognitive dissonance, or conflict between an individual's beliefs, was not reflected significantly in the views of crossing supporters. They also exhibited high quality opinion, as defined by Yankelovich using his criteria of responsibility, stability and consistency. Further, in comparing the interview responses to transportation policies contained in the Greater Vancouver Regional District's Livable Region Strategic Plan, I determined that two conflicting visions, which I refer to as the mobility vision and the sustainability/livability vision, lie at the heart of this transportation debate and likely others with similar foundations. With the knowledge that crossing advocates have a well-developed and logically constructed vision, planners must think about ways to establish constructive dialogue and address the fundamental values and assumptions upon which the two visions are based in order to foster social learning on the issue of sustainability-oriented transportation.

description: We study the O(N) linear sigma model in 1+1 dimensions. We use the 2PI formalism of Cornwall, Jackiw and Tomboulis in order to evaluate the effective potential at finite temperature. At next-to-leading order in a 1/N expansion one has to include the sums over "necklace" and generalized "sunset" diagrams. We find that - in contrast to the Hartree approximation - there is no spontaneous symmetry breaking in this approximation, as to be expected for the exact theory. The effective potential becomes convex throughout for all parameter sets which include N=4,10,100, couplings lambda=0.1 and 0.5, and temperatures between 0.2 and 1. The Green's functions obtained by solving the Schwinger-Dyson equations are enhanced in the infrared region. We also compare the effective potential as function of the external field phi with those obtained in various other approximations.

description: This paper proposes two distinct contributions to econometric analysis of large information sets and structural instabilities. First, it treats a regression model with time-varying coefficients, stochastic volatility and exogenous predictors, as an equivalent high-dimensional static regression problem with thousands of covariates. Inference in this specification proceeds using Bayesian hierarchical priors that shrink the high-dimensional vector of coefficients either towards zero or time-invariance. Second, it introduces the frameworks of factor graphs and message passing as a means of designing efficient Bayesian estimation algorithms. In particular, a Generalized Approximate Message Passing (GAMP) algorithm is derived that has low algorithmic complexity and is trivially parallelizable. The result is a comprehensive methodology that can be used to estimate time-varying parameter regressions with arbitrarily large number of exogenous predictors. In a forecasting exercise for U.S. price inflation this methodology is shown to work very well.

description: Thermal color superconducting phase transitions in three-flavor quark matter at high baryon density are investigated in the Ginzburg-Landau (GL) approach. We constructed the GL potential near the boundary with a normal phase by taking into account nonzero quark masses, electric charge neutrality, and color charge neutrality. We found that the density of states averaged over paired quarks plays a crucial role in determining the phases near the boundary. By performing a weak coupling calculation of the parameters characterizing the GL potential terms of second order in the pairing gap, we show that three successive second-order phase transitions take place as the temperature increases: a modified color-flavor locked phase (ud, ds, and us pairings) -> a ``dSC'' phase (ud and ds pairings) -> an isoscalar pairing phase (ud pairing) -> a normal phase (no pairing). The Meissner masses of the gluons and the number of gapless quark modes are also studied analytically in each of these phases.

THE POLITICS OF BLAME-GAME AMONG POLITICAL PARTIES IN NIGERIA: A CASE OF PUBLIC FLATULENCE IN SELF DEFENSE
Creators: name: Rufus, Dr. Anthony

, Public Flatulence

description: Modern politics in Nigeria has been characterized by blame-games with ingenious offensive and defensive dramatic performances by various individuals or political party faithful and actors. It's quite unthinkable how successive governments try to count and recount the failures of administrations past instead of addressing the challenges headlong. However, nothing can excuse the shameful scenes where political office holders pass blame always with the presupposition of self-exemption which amounts to "public flatulence in self-defense." Lately, it has become a political style, allowing core duties that affects the well-being of the people to evaporate into thin air after the blame-game without anybody being held accountable. The growing character of individuals, institutions, or ministries to self-extrication by the strategy of "shifting blame from the concrete particular to the intangible general could best be described as disgraceful". Political leaders now prefer to dump the "refuse" of their failure at the doorsteps of the opposition parties. Indeed, this game of passing blame or washing one’s hands like Pontius Pilate before the public is quite frustrating to Nigerians who daily suffer the effects of bad and unresponsive governance. It's on the above premise, this work examined the politics of blame-game and how much that has impacted on democratic consolidation, the role of the opposition parties and in delivering the dividends of democracy. Data collected for this work was basically secondary and analyzed using content analysis. The findings showed that there is an established culture of blame game strategically employed to divert the attention of the public from core issues of citizens' welfare. This paper recommends legislations against such practices.

description: A \emph{$(k,t)$-track layout} of a graph $G$ consists of a (proper) vertex $t$-colouring of $G$, a total order of each vertex colour class, and a (non-proper) edge $k$-colouring such that between each pair of colour classes no two monochromatic edges cross. This structure has recently arisen in the study of three-dimensional graph drawings. This paper presents the beginnings of a theory of track layouts. First we determine the maximum number of edges in a $(k,t)$-track layout, and show how to colour the edges given fixed linear orderings of the vertex colour classes. We then describe methods for the manipulation of track layouts. For example, we show how to decrease the number of edge colours in a track layout at the expense of increasing the number of tracks, and vice versa. We then study the relationship between track layouts and other models of graph layout, namely stack and queue layouts, and geometric thickness. One of our principle results is that the queue-number and track-number of a graph are tied, in the sense that one is bounded by a function of the other. As corollaries we prove that acyclic chromatic number is bounded by both queue-number and stack-number. Finally we consider track layouts of planar graphs. While it is an open problem whether planar graphs have bounded track-number, we prove bounds on the track-number of outerplanar graphs, and give the best known lower bound on the track-number of planar graphs.

description: We study the bootstrap and diffusion percolation models in the simple-cubic (sc), body-centered cubic (bcc), and face-centered cubic (fcc) lattices using the Newman-Ziff algorithm. The percolation threshold and critical exponents were calculated through finite-size scaling with high precision in the three lattices. In addition to the continuous and first-order percolation transitions, we found a double transition, which is a continuous transition followed by a discontinuity of the order parameter. We show that the continuous transitions of the bootstrap and diffusion percolation models have the same critical exponents as the classical percolation within error bars and they all belong to the same universality class.

description: A dynamical picture of phylogenetic evolution is given in terms of Markov models on a state space, comprising joint probability distributions for character types of taxonomic classes. Phylogenetic branching is a process which augments the number of taxa under consideration, and hence the rank of the underlying joint probability state tensor. We point out the combinatorial necessity for a second-quantised, or Fock space setting, incorporating discrete counting labels for taxa and character types, to allow for a description in the number basis. Rate operators describing both time evolution without branching, and also phylogenetic branching events, are identified. A detailed development of these ideas is given, using standard transcriptions from the microscopic formulation of nonequilibrium reaction-diffusion or birth-death processes. These give the relations between stochastic rate matrices, the matrix elements of the corresponding evolution operators representing them, and the integral kernels needed to implement these as path integrals. The `free' theory (without branching) is solved, and the correct trilinear `interaction' terms (representing branching events) are presented. The full model is developed in perturbation theory via the derivation of explicit Feynman rules which establish that the probabilities (pattern frequencies of leaf colourations) arising as matrix elements of the time evolution operator are identical with those computed via the standard analysis. Simple examples (phylogenetic trees with 2 or 3 leaves), are discussed in detail. Further implications for the work are briefly considered including the role of time reparametrisation covariance.

description: We present a simple interpolation formula using dimensional limits $D=1$ and $D=\infty$ to obtain the $D=3$ ground-state energies of atoms and molecules. For atoms, these limits are linked by first-order perturbation terms of electron-electron interactions. This unorthodox approach is illustrated by ground-states for two, three, and four electron atoms, with modest effort to obtain fairly accurate results. Also, we treat the ground-state of H$_2$ over a wide range of the internuclear distance R, and compares well with the standard exact results from the Full Configuration Interaction method. Similar dimensional interpolations may be useful for complex many-body systems.

description: We present a numerical investigation of shot noise suppression in mesoscopic cavities and an intuitive semiclassical explanation of the behavior observed in the presence of an orthogonal magnetic field. In particular, we conclude that the decrease of shot noise for increasing magnetic field is the result of the interplay between the diameter of classical cyclotron orbits and the width of the apertures defining the cavity. Good agreement with published experimental results is obtained, without the need of introducing fitting parameters.

description: Analisou-se, no presente estudo, de forma comparativa e qualitativa as estratégias para financiamento da produção agrícola no Brasil e nos Estados Unidos à luz de teorias que compõem o quadro teórico da Nova Economia Institucional combinado à literatura contemporânea sobre estratégias. Nos dois países, foi observada uma multiplicidade de arranjos híbridos caracterizados pela interdependência entre os agentes e as incertezas relativas à transação. O estudo evidenciou, ainda, as percepções dos agentes econômicos sobre o funcionamento dos contratos nesses mercados. No Brasil, a percepção de um sistema jurídico fraco para recuperação do crédito associado a sistemas de informação descentralizados, faz com que os agentes credores se previnam ex ante por meio da adoção de salvaguardas contratuais e do uso de mecanismos para a seleção dos tomadores de menor risco. Nos EUA, a funcionalidade dos sistemas judiciais e a existência de sistemas de informação centralizados a que todos os credores têm acesso acarretam em um mercado de crédito desenvolvido, em que os contratos são cumpridos e as estratégias dos credores focalizam aspectos mercadológicos ampliando a competição entre os agentes financiadores.

description: In this paper we present all-order quantum mechanical calculations of 7Be breakup on heavy (208Pb) and light (12C) targets. We examine the issues concerning the extraction of the astrophysical S-factor from the breakup data. We discuss the interplay between Coulomb and nuclear breakup, and the importance of higher-order couplings on the cross section. We show that nuclear and Coulomb contributions are not separable using the standard angular selection criterion as nuclear breakup remains large for small scattering angles, even for the heavy target. However, by selecting an upper limit on the relative energy between the final fragments, the contribution from the nuclear breakup can be significantly reduced such that Coulomb breakup is the main reaction mechanism. We show that the extraction of the asymptotic normalization coefficient may require more careful consideration of the nuclear interior than previously used.

Beyond science fiction : Judith Merril and Isaac Asimov’s quest to save the future
Creators: name: LeBlanc, Michael
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Critics and historians of science fiction widely recognize the genre's importance as a forum for political ideas during the 1950s. But the political role of science fiction diminished during the 1960s, overshadowing the ongoing involvement of sf writers in future-related debates. This paper employs biography, autobiography, memoir, archival papers, recordings, and secondary sources to demonstrate that sf writers continued to discuss the future and its potential problems after the 1950s. Judith Merril and Isaac Asimov, two giants in science fiction, form the core of this paper's focus. Merril and Asimov began to discuss the future in essays, interviews, and documentaries in the 1960s. By the early 1970s, Merril and Asimov were examining the then-emerging problems of overpopulation and planetary ecology in mainstream non-fiction. Merril and Asimov demonstrate that sf writers still addressed political and social issues in the 1960s and early 1970s - even if their involvement increasingly took place outside the boundaries of science fiction literature.

description: In this paper, the tracking control problem for 5 DOF surgical robot which is affected by tremor of surgeons' hand is considered. Mechanical modeling and dynamic analysis of a robotic arm in slave subsystem of a telesurgery system will be discussed and the reasons for selecting the appropriate materials for different parts of robot will be explained. It would be required this robot, which will do the main part of the surgery, be controlled based on the uncertain properties of the tissues of patients body. Improved Lyapunov Based control method with uncertainty observer is applied to improve the accuracy of tracking procedure for a surgical manipulator to track a specified reference signal in the presence of tremor that is modeled as constant bounded disturbance. Based on the disturbance rejection scheme, tracking controllers are constructed which are asymptotically stabilizing in the sense of Lyapunov. The control strategy was implemented using a PC interface. Computer simulation results demonstrate that accurate trajectory tracking can be achieved by using the proposed controllers.

description: Objetivou-se, neste artigo, analisar as possíveis transações econômicas decorrentes das atividades de reflorestamento e como os mecanismos dos créditos de carbono e crédito de reposição podem representar incentivos econômicos ao processo de criação de atividades sustentáveis ao setor de reflorestamento. Dentre essas transações, destaca-se a instituição do mercado de crédito de carbono na geração de lucro econômico sustentável. Esse mercado de crédito de carbono caracteriza-se como uma alternativa para as empresas que necessitam redimir-se pelos índices de poluição, gerados por suas atividades operacionais. Os fatores motivadores para criação do crédito de carbono originaram-se das pressões realizadas pelos organismos internacionais, imprescindíveis para que as empresas adotassem modelos de desenvolvimento econômico sustentável. A metodologia utilizada para análise foi o estudo de caso, em uma empresa vinculada ao agronegócio, situada no estado do Mato Grosso do Sul. De acordo com os resultados apurados na pesquisa,verificou-se que as atividades de reflorestamento apresenta um portfólio diversificado à destinação da madeira (lenha, celulose, toretes, carvão e madeira tratada), que podem propiciar retornos significativos aos produtores/investidores comparativamente às alternativas do mercado financeiro e com outras oportunidades de negócios.
On removable singularities for CR functions in higher codimension
Creators: name: Merker, Joel
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Complex Variables (math.CV)

subject: 32D20

description: We establish the holomorphic wedge extendability of CR functions, defined on an everywhere locally minimal generic submanifold M of C^n and having singularities contained in a submanifold N of codimension 1, 2 or 3, assuming some transversality conditions about the relative disposition of N with respect to the complex tangent bundle to M. The statements hold in arbitrary codimension and are obtained by applying the theory of normal deformations of analytic discs, due to A.E. Tumanov in 1994 and also the FBI propagation of singularities phenomenon enjoyed by CR functions, due to J.-M. Trepreau in 1990. Related results in the hypersurface case were obtained simultaneously by B. Joricke in 1992-96 and by E. Porten in his thesis (1996).

description: Objetivou-se, nesta pesquisa, identificar os processos existentes nas operações de Logística Reversa (LR) de embalagens de agrotóxicos utilizadas, gerenciadas pelo Instituto Nacional de Processamento de Embalagens Vazias - inpEV. Empregou-se como metodologia a pesquisa bibliográfica sobre LR e o estudo de caso do referido instituto. Observou-se que o inpEV possui uma administração eficiente na LR, contribuindo para a redução do impacto ambiental provocado pelo descarte incorreto de embalagens de agrotóxicos. Constatou-se que todos os elos da cadeia produtiva de agrotóxicos são legalmente responsáveis pela LR das embalagens : o agricultor tem o dever de retornar as embalagens à unidade de recebimento (URE) ou ponto de devolução, indicado na nota fiscal de venda; o comerciante arca com os custos de construção e administração das URE, os quais são compartilhados com as empresas fabricantes; essas são responsáveis pela destinação final das embalagens e o Governo, por sua vez, é responsável pela fiscalização de todo o processo. Os resultados obtidos na pesquisa apontam para a necessidade de maior conscientização dos envolvidos, por meio de educação ambiental, assegurando a viabilidade e a eficiência da LR dessas embalagens, protegendo o ser humano e o meio ambiente.
Transformation of Mean Opinion Scores to Avoid Misleading of Ranked based Statistical Techniques

description: The rank correlation coefficients and the ranked-based statistical tests (as a subset of non-parametric techniques) might be misleading when they are applied to subjectively collected opinion scores. Those techniques assume that the data is measured at least at an ordinal level and define a sequence of scores to represent a tied rank when they have precisely an equal numeric value. In this paper, we show that the definition of tied rank, as mentioned above, is not suitable for Mean Opinion Scores (MOS) and might be misleading conclusions of rank-based statistical techniques. Furthermore, we introduce a method to overcome this issue by transforming the MOS values considering their $95\%$ Confidence Intervals. The rank correlation coefficients and ranked-based statistical tests can then be safely applied to the transformed values. We also provide open-source software packages in different programming languages to utilize the application of our transformation method in the quality of experience domain.

description: Objetivou-se, no presente artigo, analisar as relações de transmissão de preços da carne suína entre os mercados de Santa Catarina, Minas Gerais e São Paulo, bem como avaliar o relacionamento dos preços dessas regiões com o preço da carne suína no mercado internacional. Para isso, foram utilizadas as séries de preços da carne ao atacado e utilizado o modelo de séries temporais Vector Autoregression (VAR). Constatou-se que os preços catarinenses tiveram maior impacto sobre a dinâmica das séries de preços mineira e paulista, tendo o preço catarinense e no mercado internacional apresentado maior exogeneidade. Verificou-se também que os choques de preços, embora desestabilizem o mercado, seus efeitos tendem a se dissipar em torno de um a dois anos, sugerindo que a incidência de inovações requer certo período de tempo para que o mercado e os preços se ajustem.
O MERCADO VITIVINÍCOLA E A REORGANIZAÇÃO DO SISTEMA DE INDICAÇÕES GEOGRÁFICAS NA REGIÃO DO LANGUEDOC, FRANÇA

description: O artigo analisa um conjunto de transformações institucionais no mercado vitivinícola, sobretudo relacionadas aos sistemas de indicação geográfica. Argumenta-se que o contexto atual tem implicado uma reformulação radical do mercado, cujo elemento catalisador passa pelo reposicionamento dos atores líderes e, em especial, pelo surgimento de novas convenções qualitativas. A emergência destas convenções vem desafiando instituições basilares e colocando em xeque hierarquias e classificações que se estabeleceram ao longo de décadas. Gradativamente, a própria contraposição entre “novo” e “velho” mundo vitivinícola perde potencial analítico. As regiões vitivinícolas estão criando modelos compósitos de produção que conciliam padronização tecnológica e valorização dos recursos específicos do terroir. Assim, ao mesmo tempo em que o Novo Mundo se apropria do conceito europeu de indicações geográficas, este é redesenhado para ajustar-se a novos princípios. A partir de um estudo de caso realizado em 2010 na região do Languedoc (sul da França)1, mostramos que, em vez de contraporem-se a eles, as indicações geográficas passaram a incorporar princípios qualitativos característicos do Novo Mundo e dos chamados “vinhos tecnológicos”.

description: Este artigo busca analisar a dinâmica da mobilização de recursos e competências organizacionais no intuito de consolidar as estratégias deliberadas de uma empresa do setor vitivinícola brasileiro. A relação entre estratégia e competências organizacionais é uma forma efetiva da organização trabalhar as suas intenções e prioridades no campo estratégico traduzindo-as em práticas e ações concretas que possam contribuir para um desempenho superior em diferentes mercados. Foi desenvolvido um estudo de caso exploratóriodescritivo, baseado em entrevistas semi-estruturadas com entidades setoriais, gestores e representantes da empresa. Os resultados encontrados revelaram que as competências da vinícola estão diretamente ligadas aos agentes que compõem a cadeia produtiva, evidenciando uma relação de interdependência e reciprocidade entre elas. Foram identificadas duas principais competências organizacionais : Gestão dos recursos ao longo da cadeia e Integração das atividades comerciais. A combinação dessas competências leva ao crescimento e diferenciação da empresa, bem como dificulta a imitação pela concorrência.
