description: "Approximate Bayesian Computation" (ABC) represents a powerful methodology for the analysis of complex stochastic systems for which the likelihood of the observed data under an arbitrary set of input parameters may be entirely intractable-the latter condition rendering useless the standard machinery of tractable likelihood-based, Bayesian statistical inference (e.g. conventional Markov Chain Monte Carlo simulation; MCMC). In this article we demonstrate the potential of ABC for astronomical model analysis by application to a case study in the morphological transformation of high redshift galaxies. To this end we develop, first, a stochastic model for the competing processes of merging and secular evolution in the early Universe; and second, through an ABC-based comparison against the observed demographics of massive (M_gal > 10^11 M_sun) galaxies (at 1.5 < z < 3) in the CANDELS/EGS dataset we derive posterior probability densities for the key parameters of this model. The "Sequential Monte Carlo" (SMC) implementation of ABC exhibited herein, featuring both a self-generating target sequence and self-refining MCMC kernel, is amongst the most efficient of contemporary approaches to this important statistical algorithm. We highlight as well through our chosen case study the value of careful summary statistic selection, and demonstrate two modern strategies for assessment and optimisation in this regard. Ultimately, our ABC analysis of the high redshift morphological mix returns tight constraints on the evolving merger rate in the early Universe and favours major merging (with disc survival or rapid reformation) over secular evolution as the mechanism most responsible for building up the first generation of bulges in early-type disks.

description: Recent direct detection experiments of Dark Matter (DM), CoGeNT and DAMA implicate a light DM of a few GeV. Such a light DM would generate a large amount of anti-proton since suppression for anti-proton flux from DM annihilation is ineffective. We discuss whether a light dark matter with mass of 5-15 GeV, which is especially in favor of the recent experiments reported by CoGeNT, is compatible with the anti-proton no excess in the cosmic-ray. In view of the direct detection of DM and no anti-proton excess in the cosmic-ray both, we show that a Dirac DM is favored than a scalar one since there is no s-wave of the annihilation cross section for the Dirac DM. A large elastic cross section for direct detection can be obtained through the additional light Higgs exchange. We show an allowed region that simultaneously satisfies the DM relic density, the elastic cross section favored by CoGeNT and also the constraint of H_L Z Z coupling of the light Higgs boson by LEP.

description: For a system of N identical particles in a random pure state, there is a threshold k_0 = k_0(N) ~ N/5 such that two subsystems of k particles each typically share entanglement if k > k_0, and typically do not share entanglement if k < k_0. By "random" we mean here "uniformly distributed on the sphere of the corresponding Hilbert space." The analogous phase transition for the positive partial transpose (PPT) property can be described even more precisely. For example, for N qubits the two subsystems of size k are typically in a PPT state if k < k_1 := N/4 - 1/2, and typically in a non-PPT state if k > k_1. Since, for a given state of the entire system, the induced state of a subsystem is given by the partial trace, the above facts can be rephrased as properties of random induced states. An important step in the analysis depends on identifying the asymptotic spectral density of the partial transposes of such random induced states, a result which is interesting in its own right.

description: Aufgrund der starken Abhängigkeit Deutschlands von russischem Gas müssen alle Möglichkeiten zum Gassparen genutzt werden, um eine mögliche Gasknappheit zu vermeiden. Zugleich sind die Gaspreise stark gestiegen und besonders betroffene Haushalte müssen entlastet werden. Auf Grundlage einer Auswertung des Sozio-oekonomischen Panels (SOEP) werden verschiedene Entlastungsoptionen verglichen und deren Vor- und Nachteile diskutiert. Die Untersuchung legt dabei den Fokus auf die Verteilungseffekte und die Ausgaben für den Staat. Die Effekte der Maßnahmen auf das Energiesparverhalten der Haushalte können auf Basis der Daten nicht sicher abgeschätzt werden. Neben Pauschalzahlungen nur an einkommensschwache oder an alle Haushalte wird eine Preisgarantie für einen Grundbedarf von 80 Prozent des vorherigen Gasverbrauchs untersucht. Für den darüber liegenden Verbrauch fiele der deutlich höhere Marktpreis an, was für alle Haushalte einen Anreiz für Einsparungen setzen würde. Eine Preisgarantie für einen Grundbedarf wäre teurer als eine Pauschalzahlung an einkommensschwache Haushalte, aber günstiger als eine Pauschalzahlung an alle Haushalte. Eine Pauschalzahlung hat jedoch den Nachteil, dass sie Haushalte in energieeffizienten Wohnungen überkompensiert, während Haushalte in schlecht isolierten Gebäuden nicht ausreichend entlastet werden. Eine Abwägung ist daher notwendig.

description: Excerpt from the report Foreword: This report makes a significant contribution to the literature of economics, especially transportation economics. Transportation is a big item of cost to agriculture and transportation of farm products is a big item of revenue for carriers. Both operators and users of transportation have struggled with unique economic problems for many years. Careful reading of this report by layman and professionals will promote better understanding of economic factors affecting the operation of our transportation system. Among other results we hope this report will prompt other scholars to study and write on transportation economics.

description: Raman lasers are used as a spectroscopic probe of the state of atoms confined in a shallow 1D vertical lattice. For long enough laser pulses, resolved transitions in the bottom band of the lattice between Wannier Stark states corresponding to neighboring wells are observed. Couplings between such states are measured as a function of the lattice laser intensity and compared to theoretical predictions, from which the lattice depth can be extracted. Limits to the linewidth of these transitions are investigated. Transitions to higher bands can also be induced, as well as between transverse states for tilted Raman beams. All these features allow for a precise characterization of the trapping potential and for an efficient control of the atoms external degrees of freedom.

description: Die Bundesregierung hat im Juli 2022 das sogenannte „Osterpaket“ verabschiedet, das eine Vielzahl an Maßnahmen zum Ausbau erneuerbarer Energien vorsieht. Das Paket hält an der gleitenden Marktprämie als Vergütungsmechanismus fest, welche einseitig nur StromerzeugerInnen absichert, während auch StromkundInnen absichernde Differenzverträge nur im Windbereich offshore zum Einsatz kommen sollen. Differenzverträge könnten jedoch zu einer Reduktion der Förderkosten führen, Strompreisrisiken für StromerzeugerInnen sowie Haushalte und Unternehmen reduzieren. Die damit einhergehende Senkung von Finanzierungskosten würde den Ausbau erneuerbarer Energien stärken. Dabei könnte ein vereinfachtes Marktwertmodell sowie eine Weiterentwicklung des Referenzertragsmodells sicherstellen, dass der Ausbau erneuerbarer Energien systemfreundlich erfolgt.

description: Experimental particle spectra can be successfully described by power-law tailed energy distributions characteristic to canonical equilibrium distributions associated to Rényi's or Tsallis' entropy formula - over a wide range of energies, colliding system sizes, and produced hadron sorts. In order to derive its evolution one needs a corresponding dynamical description of the system which results in such final state observables. The equations of relativistic fluid dynamics are obtained from a non-extensive Boltzmann equation consistent with Tsallis' non-extensive $q$-entropy formula. The transport coefficients like shear viscosity, bulk viscosity, and heat conductivity are evaluate based on a linearized collision integral.

description: The mean weight of a cycle in an edge-weighted graph is the sum of the cycle's edge weights divided by the cycle's length. We study the minimum mean-weight cycle on the complete graph on n vertices, with random i.i.d. edge weights drawn from an exponential distribution with mean 1. We show that the probability of the min mean weight being at most c/n tends to a limiting function of c which is analytic for c<=1/e, discontinuous at c=1/e, and equal to 1 for c>1/e. We further show that if the min mean weight is <=1/(en), then the length of the relevant cycle is Theta_p(1) (i.e., it has a limiting probability distribution which does not scale with n), but that if the min mean weight is >1/(en), then the relevant cycle almost always has mean weight (1+o(1))/(en) and length at least (2/pi^2-o(1)) log^2 n log log n.

Assessing the physiological status of northern fur seal populations in North America using fecal hormones
Creators: name: Atwood, Elizabeth Marie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The core breeding population of northern fur seals (Callorhinus ursinus) in North America has declined significantly since the 1980s on St. Paul Island (one of the Pribilof Islands) while the smaller nearby population at Bogoslof Island (eastern Bering Sea) has increased exponentially. Further south, the population of northern fur seals on San Miguel Island off the coast of Southern California has fluctuated between exponential growth and catastrophic declines associated with re-occurring El Nino events. The goal of my thesis was to assess the physiological status of these three breeding populations of northern fur seals in North America to determine whether nutritional differences could explain the different population trajectories. I collected fecal samples (scats) in July 2009 from these three islands and measured the fecal metabolites of two hormones — a glucocorticoid associated with the stress response, and triiodothyronine (T3), a thyroid hormone associated with metabolic rate. I also assessed feeding conditions using diet and foraging data. I found that sub-adult males and lactating females on St. Paul Island experienced poorer feeding conditions (lower energy content food and longer feeding trips for lactating females) than at Bogoslof Island, but that only the females were nutritionally stressed. I also found that the San Miguel Island population differed physiologically compared to the northern populations in Alaska in terms of stress and nutritional status. The San Miguel fur seals were the most physiologically stressed of the North American fur seal populations (based on elevated levels of glucocorticoid metabolites). However, the stress was most likely related to heat stress and not food (based on low concentrations of T3 metabolites). The available hormone, diet, and foraging data from northern fur seals in North America suggest that lactating females were nutritionally stressed on St. Paul Island and heat stressed on San Miguel Island, and experienced better conditions on Bogoslof Island.

description: We study the effects of doping a Mott insulator on the honeycomb lattice where spins interact via direction dependent Kitaev couplings J_K, and weak antiferromagnetic Heisenberg couplings J. This model is known to have a spin liquid ground state and may potentially be realized in correlated insulators with strong spin orbit coupling. The effect of hole doping is studied within a t-J-J_K model, treated using the SU(2) slave boson formulation, which correctly captures the parent spin liquid. We find superconductor ground states with spin triplet pairing that spontaneously break time reversal symmetry. Interestingly, the pairing is qualitatively different at low and high dopings, and undergoes a first order transition with doping. At high dopings, it is smoothly connected to a paired state of electrons propagating with the underlying free particle dispersion. However, at low dopings the dispersion is strongly influenced by the magnetic exchange, and is entirely different from the free particle band structure. Here the superconductivity is fully gapped and topological, analogous to spin polarized electrons with px+ipy pairing. These results may be relevant to honeycomb lattice iridates such as A2IrO3 (A=Li or Na) on doping.

description: The spin-Seebeck effect (SSE) in ferromagnetic metals and insulators has been investigated systematically by means of the inverse spin-Hall effect (ISHE) in paramagnetic metals. The SSE generates a spin voltage as a result of a temperature gradient in a ferromagnet, which injects a spin current into an attached paramagnetic metal. In the paramagnet, this spin current is converted into an electric field due to the ISHE, enabling the electric detection of the SSE. The observation of the SSE is performed in longitudinal and transverse configurations consisting of a ferromagnet/paramagnet hybrid structure, where thermally generated spin currents flowing parallel and perpendicular to the temperature gradient are detected, respectively. Our results explain the SSE in terms of a two-step process: (1) the temperature gradient creates a non-equilibrium state in the ferromagnet governed by both magnon and phonon propagations and (2) the non-equilibrium between magnons in the ferromagnet and electrons in the paramagnet at the contact interface leads to "thermal spin pumping" and the ISHE signal. The non-equilibrium state of metallic magnets (e.g. Ni81Fe19) under a temperature gradient is governed mainly by the phonons in the sample and the substrate, while in insulating magnets (e.g. Y3Fe5O12) both magnon and phonon propagations appear to be important. The phonon-mediated non-equilibrium that drives the thermal spin pumping is confirmed also by temperature-dependent measurements, giving rise to a giant enhancement of the SSE signals at low temperatures.

Multielectron effects in high harmonic generation in N2 and benzene: simulation using a non-adiabatic quantum molecular dynamics approach for laser-molecule interactions

description: A mixed quantum-classical approach is introduced which allows the dynamical response of molecules driven far from equilibrium to be modeled. This method is applied to the interaction of molecules with intense, short-duration laser pulses. The electronic response of the molecule is described using time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) and the resulting Kohn-Sham equations are solved numerically using finite difference techniques in conjunction with local and global adaptations of an underlying grid in curvilinear coordinates. Using this approach, simulations can be carried out for a wide range of molecules and both all-electron and pseudopotential calculations are possible. The approach is applied to the study of high harmonic generation in N2 and benzene using linearly-polarized laser pulses and, to the best of our knowledge, the results for benzene represent the first TDDFT calculations of high harmonic generation in benzene using linearly polarized laser pulses. For N2 an enhancement of the cut-off harmonics is observed whenever the laser polarization is aligned perpendicular to the molecular axis. This enhancement is attributed to the symmetry properties of the Kohn-Sham orbital that responds predominantly to the pulse. In benzene we predict that a suppression in the cut-off harmonics occurs whenever the laser polarization is aligned parallel to the molecular plane. We attribute this suppression to the symmetry-induced response of the highest-occupied molecular orbital.
Statistical control and error measurement of belt scales in bulk handling systems
Creators: name: Darban Hosseini, Hamed
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Fast-paced integral weighing systems such as conveyor belt scales are used in the bulk material handling industry. Despite their numerous benefits and widespread use, measurement errors caused by mis-calibration, out of calibration, mechanical malfunctioning and maintenance-related errors can be extremely costly; therefore weighing systems need constant monitoring. This research proposes a method to monitor and control the error in conveyor belt scales by the use of Statistical Process Control. The cumulative conveyed weight on a scale network was analyzed to identify process error limits. Further, series of pattern recognition identifiers, along with statistical tools, were used to monitor and locate unnatural patterns within the scale network. A process validation was conducted using four series of scale data that were obtained from industrial scales. The proposed method performed successfully in determining the start points and types of nine defined patterns. It outperformed conventional monitoring techniques that are based on experimental values, and also provided more detailed information on types, start points, exact locations and potential cases of the unnatural patterns than other conventional methods used in manufacturing known as Western Electric Company (WECO) rules.

description: Many storage channels admit reading and rewriting of the content at a given cost. We consider rewritable channels with a hidden state which models the unknown characteristics of the memory cell. In addition to mitigating the effect of the write noise, rewrites can help the write controller obtain a better estimate of the hidden state. The paper has two contributions. The first is a lower bound on the capacity of a general rewritable channel with hidden state. The lower bound is obtained using a coding scheme that combines Gelfand-Pinsker coding with superposition coding. The rewritable AWGN channel is discussed as an example. The second contribution is a simple coding scheme for a rewritable channel where the write noise and hidden state are both uniformly distributed. It is shown that this scheme is asymptotically optimal as the number of rewrites gets large.

description: We theoretically study a possible topological superconductivity in the interacting two layers of Rashba systems, which can be fabricated by the hetero-structures of semiconductors and oxides. The hybridization, which induces the gap in the single particle dispersion, and the electron-electron interaction between the two layers leads to the novel phase diagram of the superconductivity. It is found that the topological superconductivity {\it without breaking time-reversal symmetry} is realized when (i) the Fermi energy is within the hybridization gap, and (ii) the inter-layer interaction is repulsive, both of which can be satisfied in realistic systems. Edge channels are studied in a tight-binding model numerically, and the several predictions on experiments are also given.

description: Die Ungleichheit der monatlichen Bruttoerwerbseinkommen der Beschäftigten in Deutschland ist laut Sozio-oekonomischem Panel (SOEP) zwischen 1993 und 2003 signifikant gestiegen und stagniert seit 2008 auf relativ hohem Niveau. Wie dieser Bericht zeigt, liegt der Anstieg weniger an einer höheren Ungleichheit der Stundenlöhne, sondern daran, dass diese zunehmend mit der Arbeitszeit korrelieren: Beschäftigte mit hohen Stundenlöhnen arbeiten im Vergleich zu Beschäftigten mit geringen Stundenlöhnen heute mehr als früher. Dies gilt vor allem für zwei Gruppen, deren Anteil an der Arbeitsbevölkerung in den letzten Jahren deutlich zugenommen hat: erwerbstätige Frauen und Beschäftigte im Dienstleistungssektor. Hätten die Beschäftigten nicht die tatsächliche, sondern ihre individuell gewünschte Arbeitszeit realisieren können, wäre der Anstieg der Ungleichheit moderater ausgefallen. Eine bessere Vereinbarkeit von Familie und Beruf und mehr Möglichkeiten, im Niedriglohnsektor die Arbeitszeit auszuweiten, könnten diesem Trend entgegenwirken.

description: We investigate classification and detection of entanglement of multipartite quantum states in a very general setting, and obtain efficient $k$-separability criteria for mixed multipartite states in arbitrary dimensional quantum systems. These criteria can be used to distinguish $n-1$ different classes of multipartite inseparable states and can detect many important multipartite entangled states such as GHZ states, W states, anti W states, and mixtures thereof. They detect $k$-nonseparable $n$-partite quantum states which have previously not been identified. Here $k=2,3,\cdots,n$. No optimization or eigenvalue evaluation is needed, and our criteria can be evaluated by simple computations involving components of the density matrix. Most importantly, they can be implemented in today's experiments by using at most $\mathcal{O}(n^2)$ local measurements.

Generalized Quantization Principle in Canonical Quantum Gravity and Application to Quantum Cosmology

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology (gr-qc)

description: In this paper is considered a generalized quantization principle for the gravitational field in canonical quantum gravity, especially with respect to quantum geometrodynamics. This assumption can be interpreted as a transfer from the generalized uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics, which is postulated as generalization of the Heisenberg algebra to introduce a minimal length, to a corresponding quantization principle concerning the quantities of quantum gravity. According to this presupposition there have to be given generalized representations of the operators referring to the observables in the canonical approach of a quantum description of general relativity. This also leads to generalized constraints for the states and thus to a generalized Wheeler DeWitt equation determining a new dynamical behaviour. As a special manifestation of this modified canonical theory of quantum gravity there is explored quantum cosmology. The generalized cosmological Wheeler DeWitt equation corresponding to the application of the generalized quantization principle to the cosmological degree of freedom is solved by using Sommerfelds polynomial method.

Correlation tensor criteria for genuine multiqubit entanglement

description: We present a development of a geometric approach to entanglement indicators. The method is applied to detect genuine multiqubit entanglement. The criteria are given in form of non-linear conditions imposed on correlation tensors. Thus they involve directly observable quantities, and in some cases require only few specific measurements to find multiqubit entanglement. The non-linearity of each of the criteria allows detection of entanglement in wide classes of states. In contrast to entanglement witnesses, which in the space of Hermitian operators define a hyperplane, the new conditions define a geometric figure encapsulating the non-fully entangled states within it.

description: Mit dem Bürgergeld plant die Ampel-Koalition eine Reform des Hartz-IV-Systems mit Erleichterungen für Leistungsbeziehende. Dieser Wochenbericht nimmt auf Basis einer zufallsbasierten Befragung in acht Jobcentern in Nordrhein-Westfalen die Perspektive von Langzeitarbeitslosen ein: Wie schätzen sie zentrale Reforminhalte ein? Wie nehmen Langzeitarbeitslose ihre Situation wahr? Und was machen sie tagtäglich? Die Befunde offenbaren mehrheitlich positive, aber mit Blick auf einzelne Reformaspekte auch differenzierte Einschätzungen zum Bürgergeld. Bessere Hinzuverdienstmöglichkeiten werden beispielsweise von einer großen Mehrheit der Langzeitarbeitslosen befürwortet, während einen grundsätzlichen Verzicht auf Sanktionen viele auch skeptisch sehen. Über 40 Prozent der Langzeitarbeitslosen berichten zudem, sich „voll und ganz“ oder „eher“ für den Grundsicherungsbezug zu schämen; knapp zwei Drittel stimmen „voll und ganz“ oder „eher“ der Aussage zu, dass andere Leistungsbeziehende das System ausnutzen. Viele Leistungsbeziehende sind eigenen Angaben zufolge ehrenamtlich und nachbarschaftlich aktiv. Eine zukünftig verbesserte Förderung solcher Tätigkeiten birgt jenseits der Vermittlung in sozialversicherungspflichtige Beschäftigung Chancen für die Stärkung der sozialen Teilhabe. Kurz- und mittelfristig wird zudem die Inflation eine spürbare Erhöhung des Regelsatzes notwendig machen, um Armutsrisiken abzumildern. Zudem sollten die Chancen eines Modellprojekts zur Evaluierung der Wirkungen von Sanktionen genutzt werden, um dieses kontroverse Thema evidenzbasiert bewerten zu können.

description: We prove a quantitative dimension-free bound in the Shannon-Stam Entropy inequality for the convolution of two log-concave distributions in dimension d interms of the spectral gap of the density. The method relies on the analysis of the Fisher Information production, which is the second derivative of the Entropy along the (normalized) Heat semi-group. We also discuss consequences of our result in the study of the isotropic constant of log-concave distributions (slicing problem).

A Spitzer-MIPS search for dust in compact high-velocity HI clouds

description: We employ three-band Spitzer-MIPS observations to search for cold dust emission in three neutral hydrogen compact high-velocity clouds (CHVCs) in the vicinity of the Milky Way. Far-infrared emission correlated with HI column density was previously reported in HVC Complex C, indicating that this object contains dust heated by the Galactic radiation field at its distance of ~10kpc. Assuming published Spitzer, IRAS, and Planck IR-HI correlations for Complex C, our Spitzer observations are of sufficient depth to directly detect 160um dust emission in the CHVCs if it is present at the same level as in Complex C, but no emission is detected in any of the targets. For one of the targets (CHVC289) which has well-localized HI clumps, we therefore conclude that it is fundamentally different from Complex C, with either a lower dust-to-gas ratio or a greater distance from the Galactic disk (and consequently cooler dust temperature). Firm conclusions cannot be drawn for the other two Spitzer-observed CHVCs since their small-scale HI structures are not sufficiently well known; nonetheless, no extended dust emission is apparent despite their relatively high HI column densities. The lack of dust emission in CHVC289 suggests that at least some compact high-velocity clouds objects may exhibit very low dust-to-gas ratios and/or greater Galactocentric distances than large HVC complexes.

Surface diffusion coefficient near first-order phase transitions at low temperatures

Year: 2012
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We analyze the collective surface diffusion coefficient, $D_c$, near a first-order phase transition at which two phases coexist and the surface coverage, $\te$, drops from one single-phase value, $\te_+$, to the other one, $\te_-$. Contrary to other studies, we consider the temperatures that are sufficiently sub-critical. Using the local equilibrium approximation, we obtain, both numerically and analytically, the dependence of $D_c$ on the coverage and system size, $N$, near such a transition. In the two-phase regime, when $\te$ ranges between $\te_-$ and $\te_+$, the diffusion coefficient behaves as a sum of two hyperbolas, $D_c \approx A/N|\te - \te_-| + B/N|\te - \te_+|$. The steep hyperbolic increase in $D_c$ near $\te_\pm$ rapidly slows down when the system gets from the two-phase regime to either of the single-phase regimes (when $\te$ gets below $\te_-$ or above $\te_+$), where it approaches a finite value. The crossover behavior of $D_c$ between the two-phase and single-phase regimes is described by a rather complex formula involving the Lambert function. We consider a lattice-gas model on a triangular lattice to illustrate these general results, applying them to four specific examples of transitions exhibited by the model.
