description: This paper illustrates first how Overriding Principles and Major Influencing Factors as this author have defined have been guiding development of “Bokyoenn 望郷の苑” in Khabarovsku, Russia. Presentation covers Principles as identified and as manifested in Sakutei Ki 作庭記. Idea for creating the garden in Khabarovsku, Russia was conceived to be a “Japanese garden” around the existing stone monument commemorating thirteen Japanese perished while they were imprisoned after the World War II. It is a very spiritual place and due to site size, financial and environment conditions, strong but appropriate design with symbolism due to its adoptability and flexibility has been called for and preferred.

description: This research report responds to the comprehensive critique of structure-price and structure profit studies in the food retailing industry by Keith Anderson, Staff Economist, Federal Trade Commission. Mr. Anderson's critique was in response to a request from certain members of the House Subcommittee on Monopolies and Commercial Law that the Federal Trade Commission explain why these studies should not serve as the basis for more rigorous enforcement of the antitrust laws. The introduction of this research report examines the evolution of this debate since the May 1988 hearings. Then Anderson's specific criticisms of the prior studies are addressed. The final section of this report contains some additional comments on Mr. Anderson's position, and identifies future research possibilities. Basic conclusions are: the research to date is not, as Anderson argues, flawed, it does support more rigorous enforcement of the antitrust laws, and given the advent of new electronic data bases, additional research will be forthcoming in the 1990s on the status of competition in the food retailing industry.

Homotopy approximations to the space of knots, Feynman diagrams, and a conjecture of Scannell and Sinha

description: Scannell and Sinha considered a spectral sequence to calculate the rational homotopy groups of spaces of long knots in n-dimensional Euclidean space, for n greater than or equal to 4. At the end of their paper they conjecture that when n is odd, the terms on the antidiagonal on the second page precisely give the space of primitive Feynman diagrams related to the theory of Vassiliev invariants. In this paper we prove that conjecture. This has the application that the path components of the terms of the Taylor tower for the space of classical long knots are in one-to-one correspondence with quotients of the module of Feynman diagrams, even though the Taylor tower does not actually converge. This provides strong evidence that the stages of the Taylor tower give rise to universal Vassiliev knot invariants in each degree.

description: We study linear transmission and nonlinear soliton transport through quasi-periodic structures, which profiles are described by multiple modulation frequencies. We show that resonant scattering at mixed-frequency resonances limits transmission efficiency of localized wave packets, leading to radiation and possible trapping of solitons. We obtain an explicit analytical expression for optimal quasi-periodic lattice profiles, where additional aperiodic modulations suppress mixed-frequency resonances, resulting in dramatic enhancement of soliton mobility. Our results can be applied to the design of photonic waveguide structures, and arrays of magnetic micro-traps for atomic Bose-Einstein condensates.

description: The distinctive effects of fuzzy dark matter are most visible at non-linear galactic scales. We present the first simulations of mixed fuzzy and cold dark matter, obtained with an extended version of the Nyx code. Fuzzy (or ultralight, or axion-like) dark matter dynamics are governed by the comoving Schrödinger-Poisson equation. This is evolved with a pseudospectral algorithm on the root grid, and with finite differencing at up to six levels of adaptive refinement. Cold dark matter is evolved with the existing N-body implementation in Nyx. We present the first investigations of spherical collapse in mixed dark matter models, focusing on radial density profiles, velocity spectra and soliton formation in collapsed halos. We find that the effective granule masses decrease in proportion to the fraction of fuzzy dark matter which quadratically suppresses soliton growth, and that a central soliton only forms if the fuzzy dark matter fraction is greater than 10\%. The Nyx framework supports baryonic physics and key astrophysical processes such as star formation. Consequently, AxioNyx will enable increasingly realistic studies of fuzzy dark matter astrophysics.

description: The concept that multisensory observation and drawing can be effective for enhancing anatomy learning is supported by pedagogic research and theory, and theories of drawing.
A haptico-visual observation and drawing (HVOD) process has been previously introduced to support understanding of the three-dimensional (3D) spatial form of anatomical structures. The HVOD process involves exploration of 3D anatomy with the combined use of touch and sight, and the simultaneous act of making graphite marks on paper which
correspond to the anatomy under observation. Findings from a previous study suggest that HVOD can increase perceptual understanding of anatomy through memorization and recall of the 3D form of observed structures. Here, additional pedagogic and cognitive underpinnings are presented to further demonstrate how and why HVOD can be effective for anatomy learning. Delivery of a HVOD workshop is described as a detailed guide for instructors, and themes arising from a phenomenological study of educator experiences of the HVOD process are presented. Findings indicate that HVOD can provide an engaging
approach for the spatial exploration of anatomy within a supportive social learning environment, but also requires modification for effective curricular integration. Consequently, based on the most effective research-informed, theoretical, and logistical elements of artbased approaches in anatomy learning, including the framework provided by the observe–reflect–draw–edit–repeat (ORDER) method, an optimized “ORDER Touch” observation and drawing process has been developed. This is with the aim of providing a widely accessible resource for supporting social learning and 3D spatial understanding of anatomy, in addition to improving specific anatomical knowledge.

description: Bell inequalities, considered within quantum mechanics, can be regarded as non-optimal witness operators. We discuss the relationship between such Bell witnesses and general entanglement witnesses in detail for the Bell inequality derived by Clauser, Horne, Shimony, and Holt (CHSH). We derive bounds on how much an optimal witness has to be shifted by adding the identity operator to make it positive on all states admitting a local hidden variable model. In the opposite direction, we obtain tight bounds for the maximal proportion of the identity operator that can be subtracted from such a CHSH witness, while preserving the witness properties. Finally, we investigate the structure of CHSH witnesses directly by relating their diagonalized form to optimal witnesses of two different classes.

The Martensville moral panic
Creators: name: Hale, Michael Edward
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This is a study of a child abuse panic. The events that brought Martensville, Saskatchewan to national and international attention in 1992 were similar in many respects to other panics concerning multiple allegations of child abuse that occurred in the Western world in the 1980s and 1990s. The methodology of the study included a review of descriptions of child abuse panics published in the mass media and in books and journal articles. Interviews were conducted with residents of Martensville, child advocates, reporters, investigators, officers of the court, expert witnesses and several of the accused. Five theoretical accounts or explanations of the events were examined in detail: Satanic ritual abuse, recovered memories, false memory syndrome, hysterical epidemic and moral panic. These accounts were considered in light of broader sociological theory. It was determined that the moral panic account provided greater explanatory potential than the other accounts. Moral panics are seen as a form of distorted communication that was typical of mass media treatment of certain conditions in the 1980s and 1990s under which allegations of child abuse targeted a group of people who were defined as a threat. Feminist theory, the concept of risk society and Habermas' theory of communicative action were examined to provide insights into ways of addressing and mitigating the panic and harm that occurred in Martensville. Conclusions and policy considerations centre on the need for training of professions involved in the investigation and response to child abuse, public education within a framework of communicative rationality and, ultimately, reclamation of the public sphere with attendant expansion of opportunities for face-to-face communication in public decision-making.

description: Frequency combs have triggered an impressive evolution of optical metrology across diverse regions of the electromagnetic spectrum, from the ultraviolet to the terahertz frequencies. An unexplored territory, however, remains in the region of vibrational bending modes, mostly due to the lack of single-mode lasers in the long-wavelength (LW) part of the mid-infrared (MIR) spectrum. We fill this gap through a purely MIR-based nonlinear laser source with tunability from 12.1 to 14.8 $μ$m, optical power up to 110 $μ$W, MHz-level linewidth and comb calibration. This enables the first example of bending modes metrology in this region, with the assessment of several CO$_2$-based frequency benchmarks with uncertainties down to 30 kHz, and the accurate study of the $ν_{11}$ band of benzene, which is a significant testbed for the resolution of the spectrometer. These achievements pave the way for LW-MIR metrology, rotationally-resolved studies and astronomic observations of large molecules, such as aromatic hydrocarbons.

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: We present a model for the equilibrium of solid planetary cores embedded in a gaseous nebula. From this model we are able to extract an idealized roadmap of all hydrostatic states of the isothermal protoplanets. The complete classification of the isothermal protoplanetary equilibria should improve the understanding of the general problem of giant planet formation, within the framework of the nucleated instability hypothesis. We approximate the protoplanet as a spherically symmetric, isothermal, self-gravitating classical ideal gas envelope in equilibrium, around a rigid body of given mass and density, with the gaseous envelope required to fill the Hill-sphere. Starting only with a core of given mass and an envelope gas density at the core surface, the equilibria are calculated without prescribing the total protoplanetary mass or nebula density. The static critical core masses of the protoplanets for the typical orbits of 1, 5.2, and 30 AU, around a parent star of 1 solar mass are found to be 0.1524, 0.0948, and 0.0335 Earth masses, respectively, for standard nebula conditions (Kusaka et al. 1970). These values are much lower than currently admitted ones primarily because our model is isothermal and the envelope is in thermal equilibrium with the nebula. For a given core, multiple solutions (at least two) are found to fit into the same nebula. We extend the concept of the static critical core mass to the local and global critical core mass. We conclude that the 'global static critical core mass' marks the meeting point of all four qualitatively different envelope regions.

Production of Light Nuclei in Heavy Ion Collisions via Hagedorn Resonances

description: The physical processes behind the production of light nuclei in heavy ion collisions are unclear. The nice theoretical description of experimental yields by thermal models conflicts with the very small binding energies of the observed states, being fragile in such a hot and dense environment. Other available ideas are delayed production via coalescence, or a cooling of the system after the chemical freeze-out according a Saha equation, or a `quench' instead of a thermal freeze-out. A recently derived prescription of an (interacting) Hagedorn gas is applied to consolidate the above pictures. The tabulation of decay rates of Hagedorn states into light nuclei allows to calculate yields usually unaccessable due to very poor Monte Carlo statistics. Decay yields of stable hadrons and light nuclei are calculated. While the scale-free decays of Hagedorn states alone are not compatible with the experimental data, a thermalized hadron and Hagedorn state gas is able to describe the experimental data. Applying a cooling of the system according a Saha-equation with conservation of nucleons and anti-nucleons in number leads to (nearly) temperature independent yields, thus a production of the light nuclei at temperatures much lower than the chemical freeze-out temperature is possible.

description: In this paper we have obtained the exact eigenstates of a two dimensional damped harmonic oscillator in time dependent noncommutative space. It has been observed that for some specific choices of the damping factor and the time dependent frequency of the oscillator, there exists interesting solutions of the time dependent noncommutative parameters following from the solutions of the Ermakov-Pinney equation. Further, these solutions enable us to get exact analytic forms for the phase which relates the eigenstates of the Hamiltonian with the eigenstates of the Lewis invariant. We then obtain expressions for the matrix elements of the coordinate operators raised to a finite arbitrary power. From these general results we then compute the expectation value of the Hamiltonian. The expectation values of the energy are found to vary with time for different solutions of the Ermakov-Pinney equation corresponding to different choices of the damping factor and the time dependent frequency of the oscillator.

Mechanisms of fouling in steam crackers

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: This work investigates the complex mechanisms of fouling in steam cracking. Each section of a steam cracker, i.e. the convection, radiant, and transfer line heat exchanger (TLE), is subject to distinct fouling mechanisms due to intrinsic differences in process conditions and gas-phase compositions. In the convection section, fouling arises from incomplete evaporation of heavy hydrocarbons, leading to the formation of droplets that impinge onto the hot tube walls and act as fouling precursors. However, the precise chemical reactions that converts these impinged hydrocarbon droplets into coke remain incompletely understood. Novel techniques, such as ultra-high-resolution mass spectrometry, may provide new insights into this phenomenon. Fouling in the radiant section results from an interplay between heterogeneous catalytic and non-catalytic mechanisms. Initially, the large number of available catalytic sites leads to exponential growth of coke deposits. Over time, the growth of the coke matrix encapsulates the metal particles, reducing the extent of the heterogeneous catalytic mechanism. Once this mechanism is interrupted, coking rates decrease to a steady value, entering an asymptotic coking regime. TLE fouling is primarily attributed to the condensation of high-boiling-point compounds, particularly polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH). Although experimental evidence is incomplete, it appears that the formation of polyaromatics might be inhibited by limiting the amount of aromatic compounds with nine or more carbons in the feedstock.

We have implemented an error estimator which steers the adaptive mesh refinement. This allows the precise computation of singularities near the metal's corner of a Plasmon-Polariton waveguide even for irregular shaped metal films on a standard personal computer.

Afin de fournir une idee de ce dont la technologie actuelle est capable dans le domaine de la correction automatique/assistee des langues et d'etablir les merites et les problemes de l'usage d'un verificateur de grammaire comme outil pedagogique, nous presentons une etude faite sur les verificateurs de grarnmaire commerciaux, Antidote '98 et Le Correcteur 101 - Version 3.5 Professionnel.

Avant de regarder de pres les corrections de LINGER, nous explorons une definition theorique de la correction ainsi que la facon dont l’on apprend des langues secondes.

description: In load balancing problems there is a set of clients, each wishing to select a resource from a set of permissible ones, in order to execute a certain task. Each resource has a latency function, which depends on its workload, and a client's cost is the completion time of her chosen resource. Two fundamental variants of load balancing problems are {\em selfish load balancing} (aka. {\em load balancing games}), where clients are non-cooperative selfish players aimed at minimizing their own cost solely, and {\em online load balancing}, where clients appear online and have to be irrevocably assigned to a resource without any knowledge about future requests. We revisit both selfish and online load balancing under the objective of minimizing the {\em Nash Social Welfare}, i.e., the geometric mean of the clients' costs. To the best of our knowledge, despite being a celebrated welfare estimator in many social contexts, the Nash Social Welfare has not been considered so far as a benchmarking quality measure in load balancing problems. We provide tight bounds on the price of anarchy of pure Nash equilibria and on the competitive ratio of the greedy algorithm under very general latency functions, including polynomial ones. For this particular class, we also prove that the greedy strategy is optimal as it matches the performance of any possible online algorithm.

description: We consider several ways to test for topology directly in harmonic space by comparing the measured a_lm with the expected correlation matrices. Two tests are of a frequentist nature while we compute the Bayesian evidence as the third test. Using correlation matrices for cubic and slab-space tori, we study how these tests behave as a function of the minimal scale probed and as a function of the size of the universe. We also apply them to different first-year WMAP CMB maps and confirm that the universe is compatible with being infinitely big for the cases considered. We argue that there is an information theoretical limit (given by the Kullback-Leibler divergence) on the size of the topologies that can be detected.

Methods A single-centre retrospective observational study was conducted of all patients with STEMI between January 2015 and December 2017. Demographics and clinical data were obtained through electronic patient records. Standard Bayesian statistics were employed for analysis.
Results During the study period, 568 patients presented with STEMI. The mean age was 63.6±12 years and 76.4% were men. Of these, 535 (94.2%) underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention, 12 (2.1%) underwent urgent coronary artery bypass and 21 (3.7%) were treated medically. Mean peak hs-cTnT levels were significantly higher in those who died within 30 days compared with those who survived (12238ng/L vs 4657ng/L, respectively; p=0.004). Peak hs-cTnT levels were also significantly higher in those who died within 1year compared with those who survived (10319ng/L vs 4622ng/L, respectively; p=0.003). The left anterior descending artery was associated with the highest hs-cTnT and was the most common culprit in those who died at 1year. An inverse relationship was demonstrated between peak hs-cTnT and LVEF (Pearson’s R=0.379; p<0.00001).
Conclusions In STEMI, those who died at 30 days and 1year had significantly higher peak troponin levels than those who survived. Peak troponin is also inversely proportional to LVEF with higher troponins associated with lower LVEF.

description: We report a systematic angle-resolved photoemission study on Na$_x$CoO$_2$ for a wide range of Na concentrations ($0.3 \leq x \leq 0.72$). In all the metallic samples at different $x$, we observed (i) only a single hole-like Fermi surface centered around $Γ$ and (ii) its area changes with $x$ according to the Luttinger theorem. We also observed a surface state that exhibits a larger Fermi surface area. The $e_g^\prime$ band and the associated small Fermi surface pockets near the $K$ points predicted by band calculations are found to ``sink'' below the Fermi energy in a manner almost independent of the doping and temperature.

description: Software Repositories contain knowledge on how software engineering teams work, communicate, and collaborate. It can be used to develop a data-informed view of a team's development process, which in turn can be employed for process improvement initiatives. In modern, Agile development methods, process improvement takes place in Retrospective meetings, in which the last development iteration is discussed. However, previously proposed activities that take place in these meetings often do not rely on project data, instead depending solely on the perceptions of team members. We propose new Retrospective activities, based on mining the software repositories of individual teams, to complement existing approaches with more objective, data-informed process views.

description: We generalize Galam's model of opinion spreading by introducing three competing choices. At each update, the population is randomly divided in groups of three agents, whose members adopt the opinion of the local majority. In the case of a tie, the local group adopts opinion A, B or C with probabilities alpha, beta and (1-alpha-beta) respectively. We derive the associated phase diagrams and dynamics by both analytical means and simulations. Polarization is always reached within very short time scales. We point out situations in which an initially very small minority opinion can invade the whole system.

Commuting Position and Momentum Operators, Exact Decoherence and Emergent Classicality
Creators: name: Halliwell, J. J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Inspired by an old idea of von Neumann, we seek a pair of commuting operators X,P which are, in a specific sense, "close" to the canonical non-commuting position and momentum operators, x,p. The construction of such operators is related to the problem of finding complete sets of orthonormal phase space localized states, a problem severely constrained by the Balian-Low theorem. Here these constraints are avoided by restricting attention to situations in which the density matrix is reasonably decohered (i.e., spread out in phase space). Commuting position and momentum operators are argued to be of use in discussions of emergent classicality from quantum mechanics. In particular, they may be used to give a discussion of the relationship between exact and approximate decoherence in the decoherent histories approach to quantum theory.

description: This comparative study seeks to distinguish the organic consumers of New Jersey from those of New York and Pennsylvania. The objective of the study is to document the characteristics of New Jersey organic produce consumers and compare the profile to New York and Pennsylvania consumers. Econometric methods will be used to model behavior and characteristics of consumers who frequently buy organic produce, and of consumers who are willing to pay 10 percent or more extra for organic produce than for conventional produce. Comparing models for New Jersey to those for New York and Pennsylvania will provide a framework for determining the significant characteristics unique to New Jersey's organic produce consumers.
The detection of mountain pine beetle green attacked lodgepole pine using compact airborne spectrographic imager (CASI) data

description: The mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae Hopkins) is the major pest of mature lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta var. ladfolia) in western North America. The present method of surveying bark beetle attack is by sketch mapping or photographing the location of last year's damaged trees (red attack) from an aircraft. The area around the red attack is then ground probed to find currently infested trees that have not changed colour (green attack). If there was a way to locate both the "red and green attack" pine trees without the need to ground probe, it would greatly assist bark beetle management and reduce costs. Previous studies have indicated that there is a reflectance change in the near infrared and the visible wavelength regions (particularly the red rise and red edge regions). This study analyses the use of a compact airborne spectrographic imager (CASI) for its ability to detect subtle reflectance changes that are believed to occur following a mountain pine beetle attack. Imagery was acquired in 36 discrete narrow bands with a ground resolution of 60 cm. Differences between the (24) green and (25) non-attack populations could not be visually detected on the imagery, therefore the digital numbers (DN) from the central crown portion of the sample trees were examined statistically. A stepwise inclusive discriminant analysis indicated that two spectral bands, the shoulder of the green rise (539.5 +/-7.7 nm) and the toe portion of the red edge (706.4 +/-7.8 nm) exhibited a difference between the populations. A jackknifed classification matrix displayed that 79 percent of the green attack and 68 percent of the non-attack trees were properly classified. A graph showing the central frequencies from the results of the canonical scores of the populations indicate that the populations are quite close together and overlap considerably. The subtle spectral differences between the populations may complicate future attempts at classifying the populations. The difficulty may be due, in part, to the complex ecological diversity of the lodgepole pine sites, insufficient needle desiccation (from cool / moist environmental conditions following initial beetle attack) and from the low sun angle at the time of the imagery acquisition. The low sun angle adds complexity to the analysis from poorly lit tree crowns, long shadows, and from having only the southern side of the tree crown illuminated.
33% Giant Anomalous Hall Current Driven by both Intrinsic and Extrinsic Contributions in Magnetic Weyl Semimetal Co3Sn2S2

description: Anomalous Hall effect (AHE) can be induced by intrinsic mechanism due to the band Berry phase and extrinsic one arising from the impurity scattering. The recently discovered magnetic Weyl semimetal Co3Sn2S2 exhibits a large intrinsic anomalous Hall conductivity (AHC) and a giant anomalous Hall angle (AHA). The predicted energy dependence of the AHC in this material exhibits a plateau at 1000 Ω-1 cm-1 and an energy width of 100 meV just below EF, thereby implying that the large intrinsic AHC will not significantly change against small-scale energy disturbances such as slight p-doping. Here, we successfully trigger the extrinsic contribution from alien-atom scattering in addition to the intrinsic one of the pristine material by introducing a small amount of Fe dopant to substitute Co in Co3Sn2S2. Our experimental results show that the AHC and AHA can be prominently enhanced up to 1850 Ω-1 cm-1 and 33%, respectively, owing to the synergistic contributions from the intrinsic and extrinsic mechanisms as distinguished by the TYJ model. In particular, the tuned AHA holds a record value in low fields among known magnetic materials. This study opens up a pathway to engineer giant AHE in magnetic Weyl semimetals, thereby potentially advancing the topological spintronics/Weyltronics.

description: We present a numerical algorithm to evaluate the self-consistent field theory for melts composed of block copolymers with multiply-branched architecture. We present results for the case of branched copolymers with doubly-functional groups for multiple branching generations. We discuss the stability of the cubic phase of spherical micelles, the A15 phase, as a consequence of tendency of the AB interfaces to conform to the polyhedral environment of the Voronoi cell of the micelle lattice.

description: A modified spatial prisoner's dilemma game with voluntary participation in Newman-Watts small-world networks is studied. Some reasonable ingredients are introduced to the game evolutionary dynamics: each agent in the network is a pure strategist and can only take one of three strategies (\emph {cooperator}, \emph {defector}, and \emph {loner}); its strategical transformation is associated with both the number of strategical states and the magnitude of average profits, which are adopted and acquired by its coplayers in the previous round of play; a stochastic strategy mutation is applied when it gets into the trouble of \emph {local commons} that the agent and its neighbors are in the same state and get the same average payoffs. In the case of very low temptation to defect, it is found that agents are willing to participate in the game in typical small-world region and intensive collective oscillations arise in more random region.
