Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We investigate the system-environment information flow from the point of view ofcomplete complementarity relations. We consider some commonly used noisy quantum channels:Amplitude damping, phase damping, bit flip, bit-phase flip, phase flip, depolarizing, and correlatedamplitude damping. By starting with an entangled bipartite pure quantum state, with the linearentropy being the quantifier of entanglement, we study how entanglement is redistributed and turnedinto general correlations between the degrees of freedom of the whole system. For instance, it ispossible to express the entanglement entropy in terms of the multipartite quantum coherence or interms of the correlated quantum coherence of the different partitions of the system. In addition,we notice that for the depolarizing and bit-phase flip channels the wave and particle aspects candecrease or increase together. Besides, by considering the environment as part of a pure quantumsystem, the linear entropy is shown to be not just a measure of mixedness of a particular subsystem,but a correlation measure of the subsystem with rest of the world.

description: We hypothesize two sources for sheepskin effects - signaling, and diplomas tied to jobs with downwards rigid wages. These theories have implications for diploma effects not only in the first, but also the second moments of the Mincerian earnings distribution that we are able to identify using a flexible econometric specification. Idiosyncrasies in Mexican labor market and educational institutions offer a natural experiment on which to train this methodology and test these theories. Correcting for heterogeneity in diplomas, we find no evidence of sheepskin effects, except on graduation from primary school. We find compelling evidence that returns to education (in both moments) are linked with labor market institutions and job-specific diplomas in the manner we hypothesize. Our econometric structure corrects for sample selectivity due to unemployment and allows us to observe behavior on the quantity axis of a labor market segmented by sheepskin effects. We also analyze the covariates of hours worked which helps to explain observed patterns in hourly earnings.

description: Strategic trade theory shows that government intervention in markets with small numbers of traders can boost the welfare of a country relative to free trade. This survey critically assesses the empirical evidence regarding this possibility. One finding is that while many international food and agricultural markets are characterized by oligopoly, price-cost markups tend to be small, and the potential gains from intervention are modest at best. In turn, existing government interventions such as agricultural export subsidies are generally not optimal in a strategic trade sense. The evidence suggests that oligopoly by itself is not a sufficient rationale for deviating from free trade in international markets.
A Study of Lime and Fly Ash with Regard to Soil Stabilization

Year: 1958
Subjects: subject: Transportation Engineering

description: The paving of roadways originally developed from the inadequacy of natural soils to support vehicles and pedestrian traffic. Thus a pavement serves as a nearly rigid covering which distributes otherwise highly concentrated surface loads over wider areas of the underlying soils. Most natural soils are deficient for direct roadway service unless such a covering is provided or unless the soil itself is solidified, concreted, or otherwise reinforced. Attempts to compensate soils for these inadequacies in order to minimize the thickness of pavement needed have developed into a specialized aspect of highway design and construction known as soil stabilization.

description: Using a quantum mechanical model, the exact energy eigenstates for two-particle two-channel scattering are studied in a cubic box with periodic boundary conditions. A relation between the exact energy eigenvalue in the box and the two-channel $S$-matrix elements in the continuum is obtained. This result can be viewed as a generalization of the well-known Lüscher's formula which establishes a similar relation in elastic scattering.

description: Laboratory apparatus, consisting essentially of a torque generator and a torque meter, in which a rubber annulus is driven against a plane surface of a rock core or pavement specimen, as in an ordinary friction clutch, was used to study variations in the coefficients of friction with respect to texture and material characteristics. Dry friction coefficients were found to be rather high in magnitude. and fairly constant throughout wide variations in surface textures. In contrast, wet friction coefficients were very high for rough textures but very low for polished surfaces. Wet friction values correlated in an approximately hyperbolic manner with 60-degree specular reflectivity. Limestones were found to polish readily whereas sandstones tended to undergo coarse wear during preparation of the surfaces.  Experiences with sand-asphalt mixes, blends of limestone coarse aggregates and silica sands, and sandstone aggregates are briefly described.  Recent experiments in the adaptation of an automobile for monitoring pavement slipperiness are also described.

description: We use minimal (or CMC) surfaces to describe 3-dimensional hyperbolic, anti-de Sitter, de Sitter or Minkowski manifolds. We consider whether these manifolds admit ``nice'' foliations and explicit metrics, and whether the space of these metrics has a simple description in terms of Teichmüller theory. In the hyperbolic settings both questions have positive answers for a certain subset of the quasi-Fuchsian manifolds: those containing a closed surface with principal curvatures at most 1. We show that this subset is parameterized by an open domain of the cotangent bundle of Teichmüller space. These results are extended to ``quasi-Fuchsian'' manifolds with conical singularities along infinite lines, known in the physics literature as ``massive, spin-less particles''. Things work better for globally hyperbolic anti-de Sitter manifolds: the parameterization by the cotangent of Teichmüller space works for all manifolds. There is another description of this moduli space as the product two copies of Teichmüller space due to Mess. Using the maximal surface description, we propose a new parameterization by two copies of Teichmüller space, alternative to that of Mess, and extend all the results to manifolds with conical singularities along time-like lines. Similar results are obtained for de Sitter or Minkowski manifolds. Finally, for all four settings, we show that the symplectic form on the moduli space of 3-manifolds that comes from parameterization by the cotangent bundle of Teichmüller space is the same as the 3-dimensional gravity one.

Il saggio mette a confronto i criteri e gli orientamenti lessicografici del Vocabolario di Cherubini con i vocabolari settecenteschi di altre aree dialettali da lui utilizzati e ne evidenzia elementi comuni ed elementi di novità.

Cherubini (1814) in the history of the first dialect lexicography

The first edition of the Milanese-Italian Dictionary by Francesco Cherubini (1814) was inspired by the theories of Cesarotti, who considered dialects to be an important source for the enrichment of the national language. The essay compares the lexicographical criteria and guidelines of Cherubini’s Dictionary with Dialect Dictionaries from the eighteenth century from other dialect areas that he used, and identifies common and new elements.

description: Structural changes in the U.S. dairy industry from the early 1980s to the late 1990s included familiar increases in concentration, industry adjustments to serve large supermarkets, the emergence of two national fluid milk firms (Suiza Foods and Dean Foods), and the emergence of two national dairy cooperatives (Dairy Farmers of America and Land O'Lakes, Inc.). Shifts in the location of milk production in the U.S. to the Western states have caused new dairy product manufacturing plants to locate in those states. This development promises to intensify battles over market share in the expanding U.S. cheese market between Western firms and Upper Midwestern firms. Foreign direct investment in the U.S. dairy industry--especially by European Union firms and a large Canadian firm--increased during the 1980s and 1990s. Facing challenges to expand dairy exports or shrink, the U.S. dairy industry probably will gravitate toward the latter unless government price support and trade policies change to increase price incentives for U.S. firms to export dairy products.
LA SINTASSI DELLE LETTERE DI CAMILLO GOLGI: TRA GRAMMATICA EPISTOLARE, LINGUA SCIENTIFICA E LINGUAGGIO BUROCRATICO

description: L’articolo si propone di mettere in luce alcuni aspetti sintattici della lingua usata da Camillo Golgi, medico e ricercatore, nonché Premio Nobel 1906 per la Medicina o la Fisiologia, per come si offrono nella sua produzione epistolare ufficiale e privata.

In prima istanza verrà fornita una duplice contestualizzazione dell’analisi linguistica da condurre: si descriverà la scrittura epistolare come genere peculiare, sia per la sua particolare collocazione al crocevia della diamesia (tra scritto e parlato), sia in relazione alla cosiddetta grammatica epistolare; in seguito, si presenterà la figura purtroppo ancora poco nota di Camillo Golgi, con tutti i suoi meriti scientifici e con l’auspicio di una sua riscoperta. Poi si giungerà alla vera e propria analisi linguistica, che verterà, come si è scritto, sulla sintassi delle lettere golgiane: l’analisi farà emergere la parziale adesione dello scrivente al canone dell’epistolografia, mettendo anche in luce alcuni scarti rispetto a questo, scarti collegati a precise scelte del Golgi che si allontanano dal parlato tipicamente riprodotto nella comunicazione epistolare, in direzione di un modello scritto formale e controllato, rispondente, in particolare, alle modalità espressive tipiche della prosa scientifica e della lingua della burocrazia.

The syntax of Camillo Golgi’s letters: epistolary grammar, the language of science and bureaucracy
The article intends to illustrate some prominent syntactical aspects of the language used by Camillo Golgi, researcher and famous doctor, winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine and Physiology in 1906, as these aspects appear in his official and private correspondence. First the context of the linguistic analysis will be explained. Epistolary writing is a particular genre, halfway between written and spoken language, featuring a special grammar. Then the little-known figure of Camillo Golgi, with his many scientific merits, will be presented and hopefully he will be rediscovered. The linguistic analysis will focus on the syntax of his letters: the analysis will evidence Golgi’s partial adherence to epistolary grammar, but also his personal choice to avoid the typical oral features of epistolary writing, and his use of formal bureaucratic and scientific written language.

description: Assembly of colloidal particles on fluid interfaces is a promising technique for synthesizing two-dimensional micro-crystalline materials useful in fields as diverse as biomedicine1, materials science2, mineral flotation3 and food processing4. Current approaches rely on bulk emulsification methods, require further chemical and thermal treatments, and are restrictive with respect to the materials employed5-9. The development of methods that exploit the great potential of interfacial assembly for producing tailored materials have been hampered by the lack of understanding of the assembly process. Here we report a microfluidic method that allows direct visualization and understanding of the dynamics of colloidal crystal growth on curved interfaces. The crystals are periodically ejected to form stable jammed shells, which we refer to as colloidal armour. We propose that the energetic barriers to interfacial crystal growth and organization can be overcome by targeted delivery of colloidal particles through hydrodynamic flows. Our method allows an unprecedented degree of control over armour composition, size and stability.

description: In this paper, we develop and estimate a model of strategic firm behavior under financial market uncertainty. The model employs an objective function derived from the capital asset pricing model (CAPM), which draws theoretical linkages between product market uncertainty and financial market returns. An interesting feature of the model is that profit maximization enters as a nested component of the general market value maximization (MVM) model. The model is tested using 4-week interval retail scanner data for margarine and butter from 1998-2002. The traditional profit maximization model is rejected in favor of the proposed MVM structure. Counterfactual simulations point toward significant biases in estimated Lerner indexes when capital market dimensions are ignored or if the wrong market structure is assumed.
The luminous host galaxies of high redshift BL Lac objects

description: (abridged) We present near-infrared Ks-band imaging of 13 high redshift (0.6 < z < 1.3) BL Lac objects. We clearly detect the host in eight objects, and marginally in three others. In all cases, the host galaxy is well represented by an r^1/4 surface brightness law. The host galaxies of high redshift BL Lacs are large ( ~7 kpc) and very luminous ( = -27.9+-0.7), ~3 mag brighter than L*, and ~1 mag brighter than brightest cluster galaxies. They are also ~1 mag brighter than low redshift radio galaxies and appear to deviate from their K-z relationship. On the other hand, the high luminosities agree with the few optical studies of high redshift BL Lac hosts. The nuclear luminosity and the nucleus-galaxy luminosity ratio of the high redshift BL Lacs are much larger than those in low redshift BL Lacs. This may be due to either a higher intrinsic nuclear luminosity, or enhanced luminosity because of strong beaming. Contrary to what is observed in low redshift BL Lacs, the luminosities of the host galaxy and of the nucleus are fairly well correlated, as expected from the black hole mass - bulge luminosity relationship. High redshift BL Lacs radiate with a wide range of power with respect to their Eddington luminosity, and this power is intermediate between those in nearby BL Lacs and in luminous radio-loud quasars. The high redshift BL Lac host galaxies appear to be ~2 mag brighter than those at low redshift. This is likely due to a strong selection effect in the surveys of BL Lacs that makes observable only the most luminous sources at z > 0.5 and produces a correlation between the nuclear and the host luminosity. However, this may also suggest strong luminosity evolution which is inconsistent with a simple passive evolution of the host galaxies, and requires a contribution from relatively recent star formation episodes.

description: Nonparametric methods for measuring productivity indexes based on bounds for the underlying production technology are presented. Following Banker and Maindiratta, the lower bound is obtained from a primal approach while the upper bound corresponds to a dual approach to nonparametric production analysis. These nonparametric bounds are then used to estimate input-based and output- based distance functions. These radial measures provide the basis for measuring productivity indexes. Application to times series data on U.S. agriculture indicates a large gap between the primal lower bound and the dual upper bound. This generates striking differences between the primal and dual nonparametric productivity indexes.

description: Being Wannierizable is not the end of the story for topological insulators. We introduce a family of topological insulators that would be considered trivial in the paradigm set by the tenfold way, topological quantum chemistry, and the method of symmetry-based indicators. Despite having a symmetric, exponentially-localized Wannier representation, each Wannier function cannot be completely localized to a single primitive unit cell in the bulk. Such multicellular topology is shown to be neither stable, nor fragile, but delicate, i.e., the topology can be nullified by adding trivial bands to either valence or conduction band.

description: In order to understand the parameters of the standard model of electroweak and strong interactions, one needs to embed the standard model into some larger theory that accounts for the observed values. This means some additional sector is needed that fixes and stabilizes the values of the fundamental constants of nature. We describe how such a sector can be constructed using the so-called chaotic quantization method applied to a system of coupled map lattices. We restrict ourselves in this short note on verifying how our model correctly yields the numerical values of Yukawa and gravitational coupling constants of a collection of heavy and light fermions using a simple principle, the local minimization of vacuum energy.

Il saggio considera entrambi i cardini della questione: dopo aver esposto brevemente le linee guida della legislazione circa il rapporto tra lingua e dialetti e sulla corretta pronuncia, si analizzano due strumenti didattici, concepiti per la duplice utenza dei maestri e degli alunni, nei quali si concretano due atteggiamenti sensibilmente diversi sulla questione ortoepica. Infine, dall’analisi di questi due sussidi si dedurrà il rapporto, raccomandato più o meno esplicitamente, che doveva intercorrere tra dialetto e lingua nelle aule scolastiche.

After having exposed the guidelines of the legislation about the relation between Italian and dialects and about correct pronunciation, this article analyzes two teaching tools (a spelling book and a vocabulary), that can be used by both teachers and students. It’s notable that the spelling book and the vocabulary have a different perspective on orthoepy.

description: The effect of disorder on the superconducting transition temperature $T_{c}$ of cuprate superconductors is examined. Disorder is introduced into the cation sites in the plane adjacent to the CuO$_{2}$ planes of two single-layer systems, Bi$_{2.0}$Sr$_{1.6}$Ln$_{0.4}$CuO$_{6+δ}$ and La$_{1.85-y}$Nd$_{y}$Sr$_{0.15}$CuO$_{4}$. Disorder is controlled by changing rare earth (Ln) ions with different ionic radius in the former, and by varying the Nd content in the latter with the doped carrier density kept constant. We show that this type of disorder works as weak scatterers in contrast to the in-plane disorder produced by Zn, but remarkably reduces $T_{c}$ suggesting novel effects of disorder on high-$T_{c}$ superconductivity.

Attraverso un’analisi attenta dei fenomeni vernacolari in esso presenti, l’indagine si sofferma sulle motivazioni e l’efficacia comunicativa cui perviene l’uso del dialetto e si interroga su quale grado di realismo o mimesi linguistica Diritti abbia raggiunto.

description: Static travel cost models have been only partially successful in modeling the sequential aspects of a recreation decision like the decision to fish. In this paper we describe a dynamic structural model of the decision to visit a recreation site. The model is best described as a dynamic multinomial logit model. By virtue of its dynamic nature, the model avoids the problem of the independence of irrelevant alternatives that afflicts static multinomial logit models. Welfare effects of changes in site quality are easily calculated via dynamic programming.

description: We introduce an axion-inflation model embedded in the Left-Right symmetric extension of the SM in which $W_R$ is coupled to the axion. This model merges three milestones of modern cosmology, i.e., inflation, cold dark matter, and baryon asymmetry. Thus, it can naturally explain the observed coincidences among cosmological parameters, i.e., $η_{B}\approx P_ζ$ and $Ω_{DM} \simeq 5~Ω_{B}$. The source of asymmetry is spontaneous CP violation in the physics of inflation, and the lightest right-handed neutrino is the cold dark matter candidate with mass $m_{N_1}\sim 1~GeV$. The introduced mechanism does not rely on the largeness of the unconstrained CP-violating phases in the neutrino sector nor fine-tuned masses for the heaviest right-handed neutrinos. It has two unknown fundamental scales, i.e. scale of inflation $Λ_{\rm inf}=\sqrt{HM_{Pl}}$ and left-right symmetry breaking $Λ_{F}$. Sufficient matter asymmetry demands $Λ_{\rm inf}\approxΛ_{F}$. The baryon asymmetry and dark matter today are remnants of a pure quantum effect (chiral anomaly) in inflation, which, thanks to flavor effects, are memorized by cosmic evolution.

description: Il contributo presenta il resoconto di un’esperienza di didattica dell’italiano LS basata sull’utilizzo del testo letterario e condotta durante un periodo di ricerca all’interno di una classe multilivello di lingua italiana dell’Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Rio de Janeiro. Il principale obiettivo del lavoro è quello di fornire un esempio dell’utilità del testo letterario nell’insegnamento e nell’apprendimento linguistico, a patto che il testo letterario e le reazioni (cognitive ed emotive) ad esso diventino un input alla produzione linguistica dei discenti e alla comunicazione di questi ultimi con il testo medesimo, con l’insegnante e con gli altri discenti. Un input rivolto all’espressione dell’individualità dello studente e finalizzato alla comunicazione spontanea mediante lo sviluppo delle abilità linguistiche fondamentali.

If one spring afternoon a student rediscovers the pleasure of reading and learned a language… reflections on the use of literature in teaching Italian L2
The paper presents an account of an experience of teaching Italian FL based on the use of the literary texts and conducted during a study in a multi-level Italian class at the Italian Cultural Institute in Rio de Janeiro. The main goal of the paper is to provide an example of the utility of literary texts in teaching and learning languages, provided that the texts and the cognitive and emotional reactions to it become an input in the production of language learners as they communicate with the teacher and other students, in order to foster individual expression and spontaneous communication through the development of basic language skills.

description: In this paper, the percentage of assets held by women within the household is used as a measure of women's bargaining power. The assets used in this paper include land, savings, and business assets. Using detailed household survey data from Ghana, I demonstrate that the share of assets owned by women has a significant impact on household expenditure decisions. This provides additional support for the notion that women's bargaining power can be measured, at least in some dimensions, and that women's bargaining power is an important determinant of household economic decisions. It suggests that other measures of women's bargaining power may also be useful for understanding household decisions.

description: This paper describes advances in microwave frequency standards using laser-cooled atoms at BNM-SYRTE. First, recent improvements of the $^{133}$Cs and $^{87}$Rb atomic fountains are described. Thanks to the routine use of a cryogenic sapphire oscillator as an ultra-stable local frequency reference, a fountain frequency instability of $1.6\times 10^{-14}τ^{-1/2}$ where $τ$ is the measurement time in seconds is measured. The second advance is a powerful method to control the frequency shift due to cold collisions. These two advances lead to a frequency stability of $2\times 10^{-16}$ at $50,000s for the first time for primary standards. In addition, these clocks realize the SI second with an accuracy of $7\times 10^{-16}$, one order of magnitude below that of uncooled devices. In a second part, we describe tests of possible variations of fundamental constants using $^{87}$Rb and $^{133}$Cs fountains. Finally we give an update on the cold atom space clock PHARAO developed in collaboration with CNES. This clock is one of the main instruments of the ACES/ESA mission which is scheduled to fly on board the International Space Station in 2008, enabling a new generation of relativity tests.

description: In occasione del 750° anniversario della nascita di Dante Alighieri gli studenti dell’Università delle Lingue Mondiali di Tashkent (Uzbekistan) hanno dedicato uno spettacolo alla “Divina Commedia”. Questo progetto, una performance musicale-teatrale, è stato presentato presso la Libreria Statale Alisher Navoi durante la XV Settimana della Lingua Italiana nel  Mondodal titolo “L’Italiano della musica, la musica dell’Italiano”.

Insegnare la Letteratura attraverso il teatro è stata un’esperienza molto soddisfacente perché abbiamo potuto constatare negli studenti un sensibile miglioramento della competenza comunicativa orale, della creatività e della fiducia in sé stessi. Essa si è basata su principi didattici derivati dal teatro di Strasberg, Brecht, Boal e sul Glottodrama, un’innovativa metodologia che intende combinare l’approccio comunicativo alle tecniche e strategie drammatiche nell’apprendimento delle lingue straniere. Fulcro di questo metodo è la struttura dell’unità didattica: la sequenza performance-riflessione-performance sostituisce quella consueta di riflessione-performance-riflessione permettendo all’apprendente l’immediata identificazione nel personaggio attraverso il role-playing ed una migliore comprensione delle situazioni.

Teaching Italian Literature through Glottodrama

On occasion of the 750th anniversary of the birth of Dante Alighieri, students at the University of World Languages in Tashkent dedicated a performance of the “Divina Commedia” to the author. The project, that brought together music and theatre, was presented at the Uzbek Alisher Navoiin State Library during the XV World Italian Language Week entitled “The Italian of Music, the Music of Italian”.
Teaching literature through drama was a very successful experience because students were able to improve their fluency, creativity and self-confidence in speaking considerably. The project was based on the didactic principles of Strasberg, Brecht and Boal and on Glottodrama, an innovative methodology that aims to combine the communicative approach with acting techniques and strategies. The core of this method is the structure of the Teaching Unit: the sequence “performance-reflection-performance” replaces the more usual “reflection-performance-reflection”, allowing for immediate identification with the characters through role-playing and a better understanding of situations.

description: We propose a comprehensive framework able to address both the predictability of the first and of the second kind for high-dimensional chaotic models. For this purpose, we analyse the properties of a newly introduced multistable climate toy model constructed by coupling the Lorenz '96 model with a zero-dimensional energy balance model. First, the attractors of the system are identified with Monte Carlo Basin Bifurcation Analysis. Additionally, we are able to detect the Melancholia state separating the two attractors. Then, Neural Ordinary Differential Equations are applied in order to predict the future state of the system in both of the identified attractors.

description: Freeman Dyson has questioned whether any conceivable experiment in the real universe can detect a single graviton. If not, is it meaningful to talk about gravitons as physical entities? We attempt to answer Dyson's question and find it is possible concoct an idealized thought experiment capable of detecting one graviton; however, when anything remotely resembling realistic physics is taken into account, detection becomes impossible, indicating that Dyson's conjecture is very likely true. We also point out several mistakes in the literature dealing with graviton detection and production.

description: Traditional neural networks require enormous amounts of data to build their complex mappings during a slow training procedure that hinders their abilities for relearning and adapting to new data. Memory-augmented neural networks enhance neural networks with an explicit memory to overcome these issues. Access to this explicit memory, however, occurs via soft read and write operations involving every individual memory entry, resulting in a bottleneck when implemented using the conventional von Neumann computer architecture. To overcome this bottleneck, we propose a robust architecture that employs a computational memory unit as the explicit memory performing analog in-memory computation on high-dimensional (HD) vectors, while closely matching 32-bit software-equivalent accuracy. This is achieved by a content-based attention mechanism that represents unrelated items in the computational memory with uncorrelated HD vectors, whose real-valued components can be readily approximated by binary, or bipolar components. Experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of our approach on few-shot image classification tasks on the Omniglot dataset using more than 256,000 phase-change memory devices. Our approach effectively merges the richness of deep neural network representations with HD computing that paves the way for robust vector-symbolic manipulations applicable in reasoning, fusion, and compression.

description: The adsorption of two kinds of porphyrin (Cu-TBPP) and perylene (PTCDA) derived organic molecules deposited on KBr and Al2O3 surfaces has been studied by non-contact force microscopy in ultra-high vacuum, our goal being the assembly of ordered molecular arrangements on insulating surfaces at room temperature. On a Cu(100) surface, well ordered islands of Cu-TBPP molecules were successfully imaged. On KBr and Al2O3 surfaces, it was found that the same molecules aggregate in small clusters at step edges, rather than forming ordered monolayers. First measurements with PTCDA on KBr show that nanometre-scale rectangular pits in the surface can act as traps to confine small molecular assemblies.
