description: Currently, the most common method to calculate transport properties for materials under extreme conditions is based on the phenomenological Kubo-Greenwood method. The results of an inquiry into the justification and context of that model are summarized here. Specifically, the basis for its connection to equilibrium DFT and the assumption of static ions are discussed briefly.

description: 460 yearling steer calves were grazed on 6 improved mountain pastures in western North Carolina for 128 days. The pastures were matched into 3 pairs based on acreage, topography and botanical composition. Within each pair of pastures, calves in 1 pasture received a sustained release bolus containing ivermectin (Ivomec SR Bolus), and calves in the other pasture were drenched with fenbendazole at 5 mg/kg (Safe-Guard Suspension 10%). In the fenbendazole treatment groups, a loose mineral and fenbendazole mix (Safe-Guard Free-Choice Mineral) was provided to the calves for 5 days beginning at day 28 and day 56 to provide 5 mg/kg/animal over the 5 day period. Within each pasture, calves received 1 of 4 commercial implant treatments: Ralgro (36 mg zeranol), Synovex-S (20 mg estradiol benzoate and 200 mg progesterone), Revalor-G (8 mg estradiol-17 beta and 40 mg trenbolone acetate) or no implant. Calves receiving the Ivomec SR Bolus had a significantly higher average daily gain than the Safe-Guard treated calves (0.96 vs. 0.88 kg/day) resulting in a 11.93 kg advantage. At the end of the trial, 8 of 29 randomly sampled calves on the Safe-Guard treatment were shedding parasite eggs. No calf receiving the ivermectin bolus was shedding clinically significant levels of parasite eggs. When value of gain, cost of product, labour and equipment costs were considered, it was determined that the cattle treated with the Ivomec SR Bolus returned $6.70/head more than the cattle treated with Safeguard. Implanted calves gained more than the non-implanted calves with average daily gains of 0.83, 0.95, 0.95 and 0.94 kg/day for the control, Ralgro, Synovex-S and Revalor-G cattle, respectively. An economic analysis, which included the value of gain, the product cost and the labour to administer the implants, showed an average of $15.31 greater return for the implanted calves compared with control calves. It is suggested that the Ivomec SR Bolus should be considered for calves grazing large mountain pastures for extended periods.

description: The widespread deployment of sensor networks is on the horizon. One of the main challenges in sensor networks is to process and aggregate data in the network rather than wasting energy by sending large amounts of raw data to reply to a query. Some efficient data dissemination methods, particularly data-centric storage and information aggregation, rely on efficient routing from one node to another. In this paper we introduce GEM (Graph EMbedding for sensor networks), an infrastructure for node-to-node routing and data-centric storage and information processing in sensor networks. Unlike previous approaches, it does not depend on geographic information, and it works well even in the face of physical obstacles. In GEM, we construct a labeled graph that can be embedded in the original network topology in an efficient and distributed fashion. In that graph, each node is given a label that encodes its position in the original network topology. This allows messages to be efficiently routed through the network, while each node only needs to know the labels of its neighbors. To demonstrate how GEM can be applied, we have developed a concrete graph embedding method, VPCS (Virtual Polar Coordinate Space). In VPCS, we embed a ringed tree into the network topology, and label the nodes in such a manner as to create a virtual polar coordinate space. We have also developed VPCR, an efficient routing algorithm that uses VPCS. VPCR is the first algorithm for node-to-node routing that guarantees reachability, requires each node to keep state only about its immediate neighbors, and requires no geographic information. Our simulation results show that VPCR is robust on dynamic networks, works well in the face of voids and obstacles, and scales well with network size and density.

description: Using a combination of semiclassical and recently developed wave packet propagation techniques we find the quantum self-ionization process of highly excited ions moving in magnetic fields which has its origin in the energy transfer from the center of mass to the electronic motion. It obeys a time scale by orders of magnitude larger than the corresponding classical process. Importantly a quantum coherence phenomenon leading to the intermittent behaviour of the ionization signal is found and analyzed. Universal properties of the ionization process are established.

description: Scattering length, which can be measured in Bose-Einstein condensate and Feshbach molecule experiments, is extremely sensitive to the variation of fundamental constants, in particular, the electron-to-proton mass ratio (m_e/m_p or m_e/Lambda_{QCD}, where Lambda_{QCD} is the QCD scale). Based on single- and two-channel scattering model, we show how the variation of the mass ratio propagates to the scattering length. Our results suggest that variation of m_e/m_p on the level of 10^{-11}~10^{-14} can be detected near a narrow magnetic or an optical Feshbach resonance by monitoring the scattering length on the 1% level. Derived formulae may also be used to estimate the isotopic shift of the scattering length.

description: The paper studies the highly prototypical Fictitious Play (FP) algorithm, as well as a broad class of learning processes based on best-response dynamics, that we refer to as FP-type algorithms. A well-known shortcoming of FP is that, while players may learn an equilibrium strategy in some abstract sense, there are no guarantees that the period-by-period strategies generated by the algorithm actually converge to equilibrium themselves. This issue is fundamentally related to the discontinuous nature of the best response correspondence and is inherited by many FP-type algorithms. Not only does it cause problems in the interpretation of such algorithms as a mechanism for economic and social learning, but it also greatly diminishes the practical value of these algorithms for use in distributed control. We refer to forms of learning in which players learn equilibria in some abstract sense only (to be defined more precisely in the paper) as weak learning, and we refer to forms of learning where players' period-by-period strategies converge to equilibrium as strong learning. An approach is presented for modifying an FP-type algorithm that achieves weak learning in order to construct a variant that achieves strong learning. Theoretical convergence results are proved.

description: The momentum distribution of $^{11}$Be fragments produced by the breakup of $^{12}$Be interacting with a proton target at 700.5 MeV/$u$ energy has been measured at GSI Darmstadt. To obtain the structure information on the anomaly of the $N=8$ neutron shell, the momentum distribution of $^{11}$Be fragments from the one-neutron knockout $^{12}$Be(p,pn) reaction, measured in inverse kinematics, has been analysed in the distorted wave impulse approximation (DWIA) based on a quasi-free scattering scenario. The DWIA analysis shows a surprisingly strong contribution of the neutron $0d_{5/2}$ orbital in $^{12}$Be to the transverse momentum distribution of the $^{11}$Be fragments. The single-neutron $0d_{5/2}$ spectroscopic factor deduced from the present knock-out data is 1.39(10), which is significantly larger than that deduced recently from data of $^{12}$Be breakup on a carbon target. This result provides a strong experimental evidence for the dominance of the neutron $ν(0d_{5/2})^2$ configuration in the ground state of $^{12}$Be.

description: Economic experiments have shown that punishment can increase public goods game contributions over time. However, the effectiveness of punishment is challenged by second-order freeriding and antisocial punishment. The latter implies that non-cooperators punish cooperators, while the former implies unwillingness to shoulder the cost of punishment. Here we extend the theory of cooperation in the spatial public goods game by considering four competing strategies, which are traditional cooperators and defectors, as well as cooperators who punish defectors and defectors who punish cooperators. We show that if the synergistic effects are high enough to sustain cooperation based on network reciprocity alone, antisocial punishment does not deter public cooperation. Conversely, if synergistic effects are low and punishment is actively needed to sustain cooperation, antisocial punishment does act detrimental, but only if the cost-to-fine ratio is low. If the costs are relatively high, cooperation again dominates as a result of spatial pattern formation. Counterintuitively, defectors who do not punish cooperators, and are thus effectively second-order freeriding on antisocial punishment, form an active layer around punishing cooperators, which protects them against defectors that punish cooperators. A stable three-strategy phase that is sustained by the spontaneous emergence of cyclic dominance is also possible via the same route. The microscopic mechanism behind the reported evolutionary outcomes can be explained by the comparison of invasion rates that determine the stability of subsystem solutions. Our results reveal an unlikely evolutionary escape from adverse effects of antisocial punishment, and they provide a rationale for why second-order freeriding is not always an impediment to the evolutionary stability of punishment.

description: We present a study of carbon in N159/N160, an HII region complex in the low metallicity Large Magellanic Cloud. We have mapped this region, which comprises four distinct molecular clouds spanning a wide range of star-formation activity, in four transitions: 13CO (1-0) CO (2-1) and (4-3), and [CI] (1-0). Combining these data with existing [CII] observations provides a complete picture of the predominant forms of carbon in the gas phase of the ISM. The new CO (2-1) data show that the complex is immersed in an envelope of extended, low level emission, undetected by previous (1-0) mapping efforts. The CO (2-1)/(1-0) ratio in this envelope is >~3, a value consistent with optically thin CO emission. The envelope is also relatively bright in [CI] and [CII], and calculations show that it is mostly photodissociated: it appears to be translucent (Av<1). Neutral carbon emission in the complex unexpectedly peaks at the quiescent southern cloud (N159S). In the northern portion of the map (the N160 nebula), the HII regions prominent in [CII] correspond to holes in the [CI] distribution. Overall we find that, while the [CII]/CO ratio is enhanced with respect to similar complexes in the Milky Way, the [CI]/CO ratio appears to be similar or reduced.

description: The low-temperature thermal properties of glasses are anomalous with respect to those of crystals. These thermal anomalies indicate that the low-frequency vibrational properties of glasses differ from those of crystals. Recent studies revealed that, in the simplest model of glasses, i.e., the harmonic potential system, phonon modes coexist with soft localized modes in the low-frequency (continuum) limit. However, the nature of low-frequency vibrational modes of more realistic models is still controversial. In the present work, we study the Lennard-Jones (LJ) system using large-scale molecular-dynamics (MD) simulation and establish that the vibrational property of the LJ glass converges to coexistence of the phonon modes and the soft localized modes in the continuum limit as in the case of the harmonic potential system. Importantly, we find that the low-frequency vibrations are rather sensitive to the numerical scheme of potential truncation which is usually implemented in the MD simulation, and this is the reason why contradictory arguments have been reported by previous works. We also discuss the physical origin of this sensitiveness by means of a linear stability analysis.

description: We show that transport in the presence of entropic barriers exhibits peculiar characteristics which makes it distinctly different from that occurring through energy barriers. The constrained dynamics yields a scaling regime for the particle current and the diffusion coefficient in terms of the ratio between the work done to the particles and available thermal energy. This interesting property, genuine to the entropic nature of the barriers, can be utilized to effectively control transport through quasi one-dimensional structures in which irregularities or tortuosity of the boundaries cause entropic effects. The accuracy of the kinetic description has been corroborated by simulations. Applications to different dynamic situations involving entropic barriers are outlined.

description: Cameras for imaging in short and mid-wave infrared spectra are significantly more expensive than their counterparts in visible imaging. As a result, high-resolution imaging in those spectrum remains beyond the reach of most consumers. Over the last decade, compressive sensing (CS) has emerged as a potential means to realize inexpensive shortwave infrared cameras. One approach for doing this is the single-pixel camera (SPC) where a single detector acquires coded measurements of a high-resolution image. A computational reconstruction algorithm is then used to recover the image from these coded measurements. Unfortunately, the measurement rate of a SPC is insufficient to enable imaging at high spatial and temporal resolutions. We present a focal plane array-based compressive sensing (FPA-CS) architecture that achieves high spatial and temporal resolutions. The idea is to use an array of SPCs that sense in parallel to increase the measurement rate, and consequently, the achievable spatio-temporal resolution of the camera. We develop a proof-of-concept prototype in the short-wave infrared using a sensor with 64× 64 pixels; the prototype provides a 4096× increase in the measurement rate compared to the SPC and achieves a megapixel resolution at video rate using CS techniques.

description: We provide a generic scheme to separate the particles of a mixture by their physical properties like mass, friction or size. The scheme employs a periodically shaken two dimensional dissipative lattice and hinges on a simultaneous transport of particles in species-specific directions. This selective transport is achieved by controlling the late-time nonlinear particle dynamics, via the attractors embedded in the phase space and their bifurcations. To illustrate the spectrum of possible applications of the scheme, we exemplarily demonstrate the separation of polydisperse colloids and mixtures of cold thermal alkali atoms in optical lattices.

description: In recent times, the conventional roles of governments have been to ensure that citizens abide with rule and regulations and to provide social welfare. Government has to embark on investment to enable it sustain this role. Government directly or indirectly advances the output of the private sector by resourceful distribution of limited resources. In acknowledgement of these roles, lots of governments the world over today ascribes prodigious significance to the classical performance of their economy by embarking on monetary strategies that will attract foreign investors. To this end, this research seeks to ascertain the causation among standard of living, economic growth and foreign direct investment of selected an emerging country. This study used the Nigerian data- which is a typical representative of an emerging economy. The study employed pairwise granger, VECM to the Long run association amidst the variables. It also adopted the Error adjustment model to exam for the speed of adjustment of the GDP function and finally stability and diagnostic tests were performed. The results show that there is a unidirectional causality between foreign direct investments while it showed bidirectional causation exists between FDI and standard of living in the long-run. The critical analyses of the causality among aforementioned variables under military rule and under democratic rule constitute the major contribution of this study to existing. This study recommended first, that policy makers should concentration effort on long run policies that will stimulate economic growth. The financial institutions should be strengthened. Healthier and more robust friendly foreign investment policies should be created and maintained. Second, since recurrent expenditure FDI has effect on standard of living. This study recommends that government should partners with foreign investors to enhance good standard of living of populace.
The Impact of free-stall housing on somatic cell counts in bulk tank milk

description: Dairy housing is generally regarded as a major risk factor for environmental mastitis. Weekly somatic cell counts (SCC) spanning more than a 3 year period were analysed from herds located in the central San Joaquin Valley of California to determine the impact of free-stall housing on somatic cell counts in bulk-tank milk compared with conventional dry-lot housing. Herds with evidence of contagious mastitis pathogens were excluded from analysis. Weather data for daily rainfall and temperatures were also collected. All herd groups had mean SCC less than 300,000 cells/ml. During winter months when most rainfall occurred, herds with open dry-lot housing had a significant increase in SCC that averaged 34?000 cells/ml more than herds with free-stall housing. Although some differences were observed in the summer, SCC were not significantly different between herds with respect to housing type. Economic impacts upon milk production related to SCC changes were estimated to provide a seasonal benefit of $10.25 per cow per winter. The present value of this benefit alone over a 20-year planning horizon would potentially account for 36% of the additional investment cost for free-stall housing.

description: We present new H alpha and [O III] 5007 narrow band images of the starbursting dwarf galaxy NGC 4214, obtained with the WFPC2 onboard HST, together with VLA observations of the same galaxy. The HST images resolve features down to physical scales of 2-5 pc, revealing several young (<10 Myr) star forming complexes of various ionized gas morphologies (compact knots, complete or fragmentary shells) and sizes (10-200 pc). Our results are consistent with a uniform set of evolutionary trends: The youngest, smaller, filled regions that presumably are those just emerging from dense star forming clouds, tend to be of high excitation and are highly obscured. Evolved, larger shell-like regions have lower excitation and are less extincted due of the action of stellar winds and supernovae. In at least one case we find evidence for induced star formation which has led to a two-stage starburst. Age estimates based on W(H alpha) measurements do not agree with those inferred from wind-driven shell models of expanding H II regions. The most likely explanation for this effect is the existence of a 2 Myr delay in the formation of superbubbles caused by the pressure exerted by the high density medium in which massive stars are born. We report the detection of a supernova remnant embedded in one of the two large H II complexes of NGC 4214. The dust in NGC 4214 is not located in a foreground screen but is physically associated with the warm ionized gas.

description: We consider a modified gravity theory, f(R)=R-a/R^n+bR^m, in the metric formulation, which has been suggested to produce late time acceleration in the Universe, whilst satisfying local fifth-force constraints. We investigate the parameter range for this theory, considering the regimes of early and late-time acceleration, Big Bang Nucleosynthesis and fifth-force constraints. We conclude that it is difficult to find a unique range of parameters for consistency of this theory.

description: Mini-Neptunes seem to be common planets. In this work we investigate the possible formation histories and predicted occurrence rates of mini-Neptunes assuming the planets form beyond the iceline. We consider pebble and planetesimal accretion accounting for envelope enrichment and two different opacity conditions. We find that the formation of mini-Neptunes is a relatively frequent output when envelope enrichment by volatiles is included, and that there is a "sweet spot" for mini-Neptune formation with a relatively low solid accretion rate of ~10^{-6} Earth masses per year. This rate is typical for low/intermediate-mass protoplanetary disks and/or disks with low metallicities. With pebble accretion, envelope enrichment and high opacity favor the formation of mini-Neptunes, with more efficient formation at large semi-major axes (~30 AU) and low disk viscosity. For planetesimal accretion, such planets can form also without enrichment, with the opacity being a key aspect in the growth history and favorable formation location. Finally, we show that the formation of Neptune-like planets remains a challenge for planet formation theories.

title: Independent Sets in Line of Sight Networks
Creators: name: Sangha, PS
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2019

description: In this thesis we study the maximum independent set problem in both 2 and higher dimensional line of sight networks. The maximum independent set problem seeks to find a largest set of pairwise disjoint vertices and we will study both the decision version and the optimisation version of the problem in this thesis. The line of sight network model was introduced to provide a model of geometric graph that incorporates both range and line of sight restrictions. A LoS network model is governed by three parameters: n-size of the underlying integer grid, d-dimension of the underlying integer grid and ω the range parameter that governs how large the communication range of each vertex is, which can range from 1 to n. We first analyse the computational complexity of the maximum independent set problem for varying classes of line of sight networks governed by the dimension and range parameters d and ω. In particular, we are interested in the cases where d ≥ 2 and ω is sublinear in the size of the integer grid and where d ≥ 3 and ω is equal to the size of the integer grid, thus maximising the communication range. This naturally leads us to the design of a number of approximation algorithms for various classes of line of sight networks where the maximum independent set problem is NP-hard. Finally we study the maximum independent set problem in a restricted 2-dimensional line of sight network model. In this model, we show that the maximum independent set problem has a connection to a scheduling application. We show how methods that we develop for solving the maximum independent set problem, can also be used to solve the scheduling problem in both an offline and semi-online setting.

description: We present low-frequency (80-240 MHz) radio imaging of type III solar radio bursts observed by the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) on 2015/09/21. The source region for each burst splits from one dominant component at higher frequencies into two increasingly-separated components at lower frequencies. For channels below ~132 MHz, the two components repetitively diverge at high speeds (0.1-0.4 c) along directions tangent to the limb, with each episode lasting just ~2 s. We argue that both effects result from the strong magnetic field connectivity gradient that the burst-driving electron beams move into. Persistence mapping of extreme ultraviolet (EUV) jets observed by the Solar Dynamics Observatory reveals quasi-separatrix layers (QSLs) associated with coronal null points, including separatrix dome, spine, and curtain structures. Electrons are accelerated at the flare site toward an open QSL, where the beams follow diverging field lines to produce the source splitting, with larger separations at larger heights (lower frequencies). The splitting motion within individual frequency bands is interpreted as a projected time-of-flight effect, whereby electrons traveling along the outer field lines take slightly longer to excite emission at adjacent positions. Given this interpretation, we estimate an average beam speed of 0.2 c. We also qualitatively describe the quiescent corona, noting in particular that a disk-center coronal hole transitions from being dark at higher frequencies to bright at lower frequencies, turning over around 120 MHz. These observations are compared to synthetic images based on the Magnetohydrodynamic Algorithm outside a Sphere (MAS) model, which we use to flux-calibrate the burst data.

description: With the continued scaling of NAND flash and multi-level cell technology, flash-based storage has gained widespread use in systems ranging from mobile platforms to enterprise servers. However, the robustness of NAND flash cells is an increasing concern, especially at nanometer-regime process geometries. NAND flash memory bit error rate increases exponentially with the number of program/erase cycles. Stronger error correcting codes (ECC) can be used to tolerate higher errorrates, but these have diminishing returns with increasing P/E cycles and can have prohibitively high power, area, and latency overheads. The goal of this paper is to develop new techniques that can tolerate high bit error rates without requiring prohibitively strong ECC. Our techniques, called FlashCorrect-and-Refresh (FCR) exploit the observation that the dominant error source in NAND flashmemory is retention errors, caused by flash cells losing charge over time. The key idea is to periodically read, correct, and reprogram (in-place) or remap the stored data before it accumulates more retention errors than can be corrected by simple ECC. Detailed simulations of a solid-state drive (SSD) storage system driven by measured experimental data from error characterization on real flashmemory chips show that our techniques provide 46× average lifetime improvement on a variety of workloads at no additional hardware cost. We also find that our techniques achieve lifetimeimprovements that cannot feasibly be achieved with stronger ECC.

description: For a Lie group $G$ and a vector bundle $E$ we study those actions of the Lie group $TG$ on $E$ for which the action map $TG\times E \to E$ is a morphism of vector bundles, and call those \emph{affine actions}. We prove that the category $\mathrm{Vect}_{TG}^{\mathrm{aff}}\left(X\right)$ of such actions over a fixed $G$-manifold $X$ is equivalent to a certain slice category $\mathfrak g_X \backslash \mathrm{Vect}_G\left(X\right)$. We show that there is a monadic adjunction relating $\mathrm{Vect}_{TG}^{\mathrm{aff}}\left(X\right)$ to $\mathrm{Vect}_G\left(X\right)$, and the right adjoint of this adjunction induces an isomorphism of Grothendieck groups $K_{TG}^{\mathrm{aff}}\left(X\right) \cong KO_G\left(X\right)$. Complexification produces analogous results involving $T_\mathbb C G$ and $K_G\left(X\right)$.

description: A specific form of the inertial law is presented by which we can have some deeper insight into the essence of mass and inertia. In this modified theory, there is no need to keep the concept of absolute space and Newton's third law as principles. By introducing a convenient form for gravitational law the coupling constant G becomes a function of inertial parameters of the universe.

description: We describe an approach to the integrated control and measurement of a large-scale superconducting multiqubit circuit using a proximal coprocessor based on the Single Flux Quantum (SFQ) digital logic family. Coherent control is realized by irradiating the qubits directly with classical bitstreams derived from optimal control theory. Qubit measurement is performed by a Josephson photon counter, which provides access to the classical result of projective quantum measurement at the millikelvin stage. We analyze the power budget and physical footprint of the SFQ coprocessor and discuss challenges and opportunities associated with this approach.

description: Motivated by the ever-increasing experimental effort devoted to the properties of frustrated quantum magnets in a magnetic field, we present a careful and detailed theoretical analysis of a one-dimensional version of this problem, a frustrated ladder with a magnetization plateau at m=1/2. We show that even for purely isotropic Heisenberg interactions, the magnetization curve exhibits a rather complex behavior that can be fully accounted for in terms of simple elementary excitations. The introduction of anisotropic interactions (e.g., Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interactions) modifies significantly the picture and reveals an essential difference between integer and fractional plateaux. In particular, anisotropic interactions generically open a gap in the region between the plateaux, but we show that this gap closes upon entering fractional plateaux. All of these conclusions, based on analytical arguments, are supported by extensive Density Matrix Renormalization Group calculations.

description: Rhotana gracilis Zelazny, sp. nov.
(Fig. 227)
 Description. Forewings 1.7 times longer than wide, length about 4.9 mm. Forewings near hindmargin with four pairs of black marks, the last pair smaller than the rest; the marks are separated by a broad red band; additional red marks around last subcostal sector and along a middle section of Ms2; an area in front of black marks covered with white powder. Most veins of hindwings red near hind margin. Male genitalia with pygofer narrow. Stem of aedeagus long and slender; apical part without small lateral teeth, ends in two long, fine and pointed processes; the left process with a broad base.
 Note. In the only specimen available fore and middle legs missing and hindwings damaged. Similar to Rhotana dextra, sp. nov. The above description has been shortened, due to this similarity.
 Etymology. The species name is a Latin adjective (gracilis, -is, -e = slender).
 Type material. Holotype ♂ (forewing 4.9 mm), INDONESIA, PAPUA; labels: 1) NEW GUINEA: NETH./ Waris, S. of/ Hollandia, 450–500 m / VII-24–31-1959 2) T. C. Maa / collector/ BISHOP (BPBM).
 Distribution. New Guinea (Indonesian part).
 Diagnosis. Rhotana gracilis resembles closely R. dextra sp. nov. from New Britain and R. aequa sp. nov., also from New Guinea. It can be separated from both by the very slender terminal processes of the male aedeagus.
