description: Consider a $Λ$-coalescent that comes down from infinity (meaning that it starts from a configuration containing infinitely many blocks at time 0, yet it has a finite number $N_t$ of blocks at any positive time $t>0$). We exhibit a deterministic function $v:(0,\infty)\to(0,\infty)$ such that $N_t/v(t)\to1$, almost surely, and in $L^p$ for any $p\geq1$, as $t\to0$. Our approach relies on a novel martingale technique.

description: Abstract The heat is generated inside the stack of superconducting tapes mounted on the surface of the electrical machine rotor during its operation and magnetization. Cooling of such stack presents challenges because of the layered structure of both tape, and stack. Moreover, the tapes should be electrically isolated to minimize the AC losses, that assumes gluing them, rather than soldering. The calculations consider a conductive heat dissipation also through the rotor iron. Results show that: liquid nitrogen provides an effective cooling; the temperature of the stack shows complex distribution patterns with the gaseous coolant. Additional preventive measures were analyzed to keep the stack operational in vacuum conditions.

description: Conversational search systems, such as Google Assistant and Microsoft Cortana, enable users to interact with search systems in multiple rounds through natural language dialogues. Evaluating such systems is very challenging given that any natural language responses could be generated, and users commonly interact for multiple semantically coherent rounds to accomplish a search task. Although prior studies proposed many evaluation metrics, the extent of how those measures effectively capture user preference remains to be investigated. In this paper, we systematically meta-evaluate a variety of conversational search metrics. We specifically study three perspectives on those metrics: (1) reliability: the ability to detect "actual" performance differences as opposed to those observed by chance; (2) fidelity: the ability to agree with ultimate user preference; and (3) intuitiveness: the ability to capture any property deemed important: adequacy, informativeness, and fluency in the context of conversational search. By conducting experiments on two test collections, we find that the performance of different metrics varies significantly across different scenarios whereas consistent with prior studies, existing metrics only achieve a weak correlation with ultimate user preference and satisfaction. METEOR is, comparatively speaking, the best existing single-turn metric considering all three perspectives. We also demonstrate that adapted session-based evaluation metrics can be used to measure multi-turn conversational search, achieving moderate concordance with user satisfaction. To our knowledge, our work establishes the most comprehensive meta-evaluation for conversational search to date.

Dynamic soil-structure interaction : theory and verification
Creators: name: Yogendrakumar, Muthucumarasamy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: A nonlinear effective stress method of analysis for determining the static and dynamic response of 2-D embankments and soil-structure interaction systems is presented. The method of analysis is incorporated in the computer program TARA-3. The constitutive model in TARA-3 is expressed as a sum of a shear stress model and a normal stress model. The behavior in shear is assumed to be nonlinear and hysteretic, exhibiting Masing behavior under unloading and reloading. The response of the soil to uniform all round pressure is assumed to nonlinearly elastic and dependent on the mean normal effective stresses. The porewater pressures required in the dynamic effective stress method of analysis are obtained by the Martin-Finn-Seed porewater pressure generation model modified to include the effect of initial static shear. During dynamic analysis, the effective stress regime and consequently the soil properties are modified for the effect of seismically induced porewater pressures. A very attractive feature of TARA-3 is that all the parameters required for an analysis may be obtained from conventional geotechnical engineering tests either in-situ or in laboratory. A novel feature of the program is that the dynamic analysis can be conducted starting from the static stress-strain condition which leads to accumulating permanent deformations in the direction of the smallest residual resistance to deformation. The program can also start the dynamic analysis from a zero stress-zero strain condition as is done conventionally in engineering practice. The program includes an energy transmitting base and lateral energy transmitting boundaries to simulate the radiation of energy which occurs in the field. The program predicts accelerations, porewater pressures, instantaneous dynamic deformations, permanent deformations due to the hysteretic stress-strain response, deformations due to gravity acting on the softening soil and deformations due to consolidation as the seismic porewater pressures dissipate. The capability of TARA-3 to model the response of soil structures and soil-structure interaction systems during earthquakes has been validated using data from simulated earthquake tests on a variety of centrifuged models conducted on the large geotechnical centrifuge at Cambridge University in the United Kingdom. The data base includes acceleration time histories, porewater pressure time histories and deformations at many locations within the models. The program was able to successfully simulate acceleration and porewater pressure time histories and residual deformations in the models. The validation program suggests that TARA-3 is an efficient and reliable program for the nonlinear effective stress analysis of many important problems in geotechnical engineering for which 2-D plane strain representation is adequate.

description: The ground state phase diagram of the frustrated ferromagnetic spin-1/2 chain is investigated using the exact diagonalization technique. It is shown that there is a jump in the spontaneous magnetization and the ground state of the system undergos to a phase transition from a ferromagnetic phase to a phase with dimer ordering between next-nearest-neighbor spins. Near the quantum transition point, the critical behavior of the ground state energy is analyzed numerically. Using a practical finite-size scaling approach, the critical exponent of the ground state energy is computed. Our numerical results are in good agreement with the results obtained by other theoretical approaches.

description: Let G be a finite simple group. We show that the commutator map $a : G \times G \to G$ is almost equidistributed as the order of G goes to infinity. This somewhat surprising result has many applications. It shows that for a subset X of G we have $a^{-1}(X)/|G|^2 = |X|/|G| + o(1)$, namely $a$ is almost measure preserving. From this we deduce that almost all elements $g \in G$ can be expressed as commutators $g = [x,y]$ where x,y generate G. This enables us to solve some open problems regarding T-systems and the Product Replacement Algorithm (PRA) graph. We show that the number of T-systems in G with two generators tends to infinity as the order of G goes to infinity. This settles a conjecture of Guralnick and Pak. A similar result follows for the number of connected components of the PRA graph of G with two generators. Some of our results apply for more general finite groups, and more general word maps. Our methods are based on representation theory, combining classical character theory with recent results on character degrees and values in finite simple groups. In particular the so called Witten zeta function plays a key role in the proofs.

description: Published exactly seventy years ago, Jeffreys's Theory of Probability (1939) has had a unique impact on the Bayesian community and is now considered to be one of the main classics in Bayesian Statistics as well as the initiator of the objective Bayes school. In particular, its advances on the derivation of noninformative priors as well as on the scaling of Bayes factors have had a lasting impact on the field. However, the book reflects the characteristics of the time, especially in terms of mathematical rigor. In this paper we point out the fundamental aspects of this reference work, especially the thorough coverage of testing problems and the construction of both estimation and testing noninformative priors based on functional divergences. Our major aim here is to help modern readers in navigating in this difficult text and in concentrating on passages that are still relevant today.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The ICES designation of geographical fishing areas within the North-east Atlantic wasdevised with the reporting of catches from pelagic, shelf and shallow water fisheries in mindbut is largely inappropriate for the reporting or recording of data from deep-water fisheries ..Certain ICES areas fail to separate important oceanographie and topographie features relevantto deep-water fisheries whilst others unnecessarily sub-divide what are essentially uniformdeep-water ecosystems and habitats. New reporting areas were therefore considered based onour present understanding of deep-water bathymetry, oceanography and ecosystems. Thedesire to ,define biologically rrieaningful areas was tempered by the potential loss of access tohistorieal and current data reported urider the existing ICES system. A compromise wasreached and new deep-water fishing areas were defined with many boundaries in commonwith existing ICES areas.

description: Let $G=(S, E)$ be a plane straight-line graph on a finite point set $S\subset\R^2$ in general position. The incident angles of a vertex $p \in S$ of $G$ are the angles between any two edges of $G$ that appear consecutively in the circular order of the edges incident to $p$. A plane straight-line graph is called $ϕ$-open if each vertex has an incident angle of size at least $ϕ$. In this paper we study the following type of question: What is the maximum angle $ϕ$ such that for any finite set $S\subset\R^2$ of points in general position we can find a graph from a certain class of graphs on $S$ that is $ϕ$-open? In particular, we consider the classes of triangulations, spanning trees, and paths on $S$ and give tight bounds in most cases.

description: We present an event generator for the process $pp\to \ellν_\ellγ$ at next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) in QCD and matched to the PYTHIA8 parton shower. The calculation makes use of the GENEVA framework, which combines a resummed calculation obtained via Soft-Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) with the fixed-order result. We validate the NNLO accuracy of our results by comparing predictions for inclusive quantities with an independent fixed-order calculation, and then present the resummed 0-jettiness spectrum at next-to-next-to-leading logarithmic (NNLL$'$) accuracy. Finally, we compare our predictions against data collected by the ATLAS experiment at the Large Hadron Collider during its 7 TeV run, finding good agreement.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.This 1D analysis is based on cumulated acoustic density along parallel transects. It presents acomparative study of the usual geostatistical methods (based on variogram and covariance), and thetransitive method (based on covariogram). For each method the application includes: (a) thedetermination of the spatial structure; (b) the computation of the estimation variance of the acousticabundance, function of the intertransect distance and of the spatial structure. The consistencybetween the different methods is examined. Comparison ofvariances is also made with independentresults obtained previously from a 2D analysis of the acoustic density.

description: Neutrino mixing is studied from a symmetry perspective, both bottom-up and top-down. In the bottom-up approach, we start from the tri-bimaximal mixing, or one of its three partial patterns, and construct a list of horizontal symmetry groups capable of reproducing the mixng without adjustment of parameters. This list, labeled by an integer $n\ge 3$, is explicitly calculated for $n=3$. In the top-down approach, we start from any finite group possessing a three-dimensional irreducible representation and an order-2 element, give a recipe to determine what mixing pattern it contains, and how to construct a dynamical model to reveal a particular mixing. Finally, we point out that if quark mixing is controlled by symmetry in this way, then there is an exciting possibility to determine most of the CKM mixing parameters by symmetry alone.

description: We extend harmonic map techniques to the setting of more general differential equations in conformal geometry. We obtain an extension of Siu's rigidity to Kahler-Weyl geometry and apply the latter to Vaisman's conjecture. Other applications include topological obstructions to the existence of Kahler-Weyl structures. For example, we show that no co-compact lattice in SO(1,n), n>2, can be the fundamental group of a compact Kahler-Weyl manifold of certain type.

Jahn-Teller effect versus Hund's rule coupling in C60N-

description: We propose variational states for the ground state and the low-energy collective rotator excitations in negatively charged C60N- ions (N=1...5). The approach includes the linear electron-phonon coupling and the Coulomb interaction on the same level. The electron-phonon coupling is treated within the effective mode approximation (EMA) which yields the linear t_{1u} x H_g Jahn-Teller problem whereas the Coulomb interaction gives rise to Hund's rule coupling for N=2,3,4. The Hamiltonian has accidental SO(3) symmetry which allows an elegant formulation in terms of angular momenta. Trial states are constructed from coherent states and using projection operators onto angular momentum subspaces which results in good variational states for the complete parameter range. The evaluation of the corresponding energies is to a large extent analytical. We use the approach for a detailed analysis of the competition between Jahn-Teller effect and Hund's rule coupling, which determines the spin state for N=2,3,4. We calculate the low-spin/high-spin gap for N=2,3,4 as a function of the Hund's rule coupling constant J. We find that the experimentally measured gaps suggest a coupling constant in the range J=60-80meV. Using a finite value for J, we recalculate the ground state energies of the C60N- ions and find that the Jahn-Teller energy gain is partly counterbalanced by the Hund's rule coupling. In particular, the ground state energies for N=2,3,4 are almost equal.

description: Brain age is a widely used index for quantifying individuals' brain health as deviation from a normative brain aging trajectory. Higher-than-expected brain age is thought partially to reflect above-average rate of brain aging. Here, we explicitly tested this assumption in two independent large test datasets (UK Biobank [main] and Lifebrain [replication]; longitudinal observations ≈ 2750 and 4200) by assessing the relationship between cross-sectional and longitudinal estimates of brain age. Brain age models were estimated in two different training datasets (n ≈ 38,000 [main] and 1800 individuals [replication]) based on brain structural features. The results showed no association between cross-sectional brain age and the rate of brain change measured longitudinally. Rather, brain age in adulthood was associated with the congenital factors of birth weight and polygenic scores of brain age, assumed to reflect a constant, lifelong influence on brain structure from early life. The results call for nuanced interpretations of cross-sectional indices of the aging brain and question their validity as markers of ongoing within-person changes of the aging brain. Longitudinal imaging data should be preferred whenever the goal is to understand individual change trajectories of brain and cognition in aging.

description: The results of joint analyses of available cosmological data have motivated an important debate about a possible detection of a non-zero spatial curvature. If confirmed, such a result would imply a change in our present understanding of cosmic evolution with important theoretical and observational consequences. In this paper we discuss the legitimacy of carrying out joint analyses with the currently available data sets and explore their implications for a non-flat universe and extensions of the standard cosmological model. We use a robust tension estimator to perform a quantitative analysis of the physical consistency between the latest data of Cosmic Microwave Background, type Ia supernovae, Baryonic Acoustic Oscillations and Cosmic Chronometers. We consider the flat and non-flat cases of the $Λ$CDM cosmology and of two dark energy models with a constant and varying dark energy EoS parameter. The present study allows us to better understand if possible inconsistencies between these data sets are significant enough to make the results of their joint analyses misleading, as well as the actual dependence of such results with the spatial curvature and dark energy parameterizations.

description: The persistence literature in economics and related disciplines connects recent outcomes to events long ago. This influential literature marks a promising development but has drawn criticism. We discuss two prominent examples that ground the rise of the Nazi Party in distant historical roots. Several econometric, analytical, and historical errors undermine the papers’ contention that deeply rooted culture and social capital fueled the Nazi rise. The broader lesson is that research of this type works best when it incorporates careful econometrics, serious consideration of underlying mechanisms (including formal theory), and, most important, scrupulous attention to history and to the limitations of historical data.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Results of the international herring larvae surveys in 1996/1997 are presented. Spatial andtemporal coverage is described, as is the distribution of herring larvae for those areas whichwere sampled. Survey coverage remains at a low level, and the calculation of the traditional LAIand LPE indices, which rely on the assumption of full coverage of the spawning event, was notpossible. Instead and as for the 1995/1996 surveys a multiplicative model is used to analysethe overall temporal trends. These tendencies are compared with the 1995 ICES working groupestimates of stock size, and appear to be in good agreement. However, methodologicalproblems remain associated with a reduction in sampling eftort to one quarter of that in previousyears. An additional larval index based on combining information from sampling units at theextremes of the ranges of the herring distribution is also calculated and evaluated briefly.
The New Conflict Rules of Arbitration Agreements in China: The Old Wine in the New Bottle

description: Before the enactment of the CPIL and issuance of Interpretation I of the CPIL, the conflict rules of arbitration agreements were contained in the Interpretation 2006 in China. But the new conflict rules are almost the same as those under the old legal regime and will also result in the wide application of the lex fori, which accordingly leads to many arbitration agreements being held invalid by the Chinese courts. Therefore, the author argues that the new conflict rules are nothing but the old wine in the new bottle. For the sound development of arbitration in China, the author suggests that in future the conflict rules of arbitration agreements be amended to keep consistent with those in the New York Convention and the application of the lex fori be restricted due to the strict requirement of a valid arbitration agreement in China. Of course, the best option is to repeal the strict requirement of a valid arbitration agreement in the CAL.

description: In a solid material strong interactions between the electrons can lead to surprising properties. A prime example is the Mott insulator, where the suppression of conductivity is a result of interactions and not the consequence of a filled Bloch band. The proximity to the Mott insulating phase in fermionic systems is the origin for many intriguing phenomena in condensed matter physics, most notably high-temperature superconductivity. Therefore it is highly desirable to use the novel experimental tools developed in atomic physics to access this regime. Indeed, the Hubbard model, which encompasses the essential physics of the Mott insulator, also applies to quantum gases trapped in an optical lattice. However, the Mott insulating regime has so far been reached only with a gas of bosons, lacking the rich and peculiar nature of fermions. Here we report on the formation of a Mott insulator of a repulsively interacting two-component Fermi gas in an optical lattice. It is signalled by three features: a drastic suppression of doubly occupied lattice sites, a strong reduction of the compressibility inferred from the response of double occupancy to atom number increase, and the appearance of a gapped mode in the excitation spectrum. Direct control of the interaction strength allows us to compare the Mott insulating and the non-interacting regime without changing tunnel-coupling or confinement. Our results pave the way for further studies of the Mott insulator, including spin ordering and ultimately the question of d-wave superfluidity.

description: The intensity of corruption in China has been progressively high since the 1980s. This seriously undermines the overall effectiveness of Chinese anti-corruption institutions and policies. This article argues that the existing anti-corruption measures in China have not been working properly to eliminate or even contain the problem at an acceptable level. It seems that something has been holding it back somewhere. This article argues that China badly needs, inter alia, a sincere demonstration of ‘political will’ from the top coupled with the introduction of ‘rule of law’ in the country. Without these two important elements, it will probably be quite difficult for China to achieve an effective anti-corruption mechanism.
When Reconciliation Meets Conflict: Exploring Indigenous Archives
Creators: name: Mickelson, Samuel
Publisher: name: See Also
Year: 2017

description: This article proposes a framework of Indigenous archives that encompasses repositories housed in Indigenous communities and non-Indigenous repositories that care for records by and about Indigenous peoples. The author contends that a discourse of Indigenous archives can help archivists reform their theories and methodologies in ways that support Indigenous sovereignty and ways of knowing. The author makes the case for a discourse of Indigenous archives by using two case studies and reviewing key policy documents such as the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

description: Social media has come to dominate the world of online communication. As a result, the social media ecosystem has come to support a diversity of social media platforms to meet various user needs. A unique user need that has recently emerged is the desire for visual communication that is typified by social media platforms such as Pinterest. This briefing examines the emergence of Pinterest as a specific example of a visual social network. The briefing then proposes a framework to develop a social media plan for Pinterest from literature on the use of Pinterest in academic libraries.

description: Based on the experimental results, all concepts drift types have their respective hyperparameter configurations. Simple and gradual concept drift have similar pattern which requires a smaller α value than recurring concept drift because, in this type of drift, a new concept appear continuously, so it needs a high-frequency model adaptation. However, in recurring concepts, the new concept may repeat in the future, so the lower frequency adaptation is better. Furthermore, high-frequency model adaptation could lead to an overfitting problem. Implementing CMGMM component pruning mechanism help to control the number of the active component and improve model performance.
From Verbal-static to Visual-dynamic: a Perspective Shift in Studying the Structure of Lun Yu

description: Starting off from Makeham’s (2003) differentiation between historical meaning and scriptural meaning, Huang’s (2011) citation of coherence theories and Xu’s (2002; 2004a; 2004b) embodimental reading by rejecting Western logos, this paper takes a perspective shift from verbal-static to visual-dynamic to study the structure of The Analects of Confucius. While a sheer verbal-static reading of the Lun Yu is doomed to the extremities of either praising its structure into the heaven or damning it into the hell, and to the ambiguity to argue that its structure is neither very coherent nor quite chaotic, a new perspective from verbal-static to visual-dynamic might lead to a view that the compilers of the Lun Yu actually take a reverse thinking in compiling this historic classics by segmenting and quantifying.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.At a selected location in the Barents Sea acoustic observations, bottorn- and pelagic trawlcatch data were collected over a 10 day period. A large proportion ofthe fish were in theacoustic dead zone during the sampling period. Qnly during a few hours in the daytirnehigh acoustic values were obtained. According to the pelagic trawl hauls these recordingsconsisted oflarge haddock ascending frorn the bottorn, while srnall haddock and srnallredfish dominated the acoustic recordings at night. The bottorn trawl catches showedhigher variability and higher average catch rates during the day than at night, but thediurnal variations were relatively less than those ofthe acoustic recordings. The largestreduction in catch rates frorn day to night was observed for srnall haddock and redfish.This is consistent with the observation that these were found pelagicly during night. Theacoustic observations and the bottorn trawl catch rates were found to be correlated withdiurnal cydes in observed light level and sernidiurnal cycles in current speed. The resultsare interpreted in terms ofvariable catchability ofthe bottorn trawl and variableavailability for the echo sounder.

description: We introduce the $R$ cut-off covering spectrum and the cut-off covering spectrum of a complete length space or Riemannian manifold. The spectra measure the sizes of localized holes in the space and are defined using covering spaces called $δ$ covers and $R$ cut-off $δ$ covers. They are investigated using $δ$ homotopies which are homotopies via grids whose squares are mapped into balls of radius $δ$. On locally compact spaces, we prove that these new spectra are subsets of the closure of the length spectrum. We prove the $R$ cut-off covering spectrum is almost continuous with respect to the pointed Gromov-Hausdorff convergence of spaces and that the cut-off covering spectrum is also relatively well behaved. This is not true of the covering spectrum defined in our earlier work which was shown to be well behaved on compact spaces. We close by analyzing these spectra on Riemannian manifolds with lower bounds on their sectional and Ricci curvature and their limit spaces.

Reliability-based optimization of plywood-web beams
Creators: name: Menun, Charles Alexander
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The optimal design of a plywood-web beam, as for any structural element, is usually found by trial and error in which an initial design is modified until a solution which maximizes the beam's efficiency and meets a set of prescribed design criteria is found. To automate this process, a reliability-based optimization program which computes the optimal dimensions of a plywood-web beam is formulated and tested in this study. The program minimizes the cost of a plywood-web beam subject to constraints imposed upon its performance expressed in terms of acceptable levels of safety with respect to a set of limit states. A plywood-web beam model which incorporates the effects of shear deformations in the web components and the effects of non-rigid connections between the beam's flanges and webs is developed and used to compute a plywood-web beam's response under load. The beam's performance is evaluated by means of a reliability analysis in order to rationally account for any uncertainty associated with the beam's material properties and the loads acting on it. An existing non-linear optimization routine computes the optimal continuous design of a plywood-web beam using the results of the structural and reliability analyses. A discrete solution, representing the optimal practical design which uses only available or allowable dimensions for the beam's components, is found by means of an exhaustive search of a restricted region of the design variable space near the optimal continuous solution. As an example, the program is used to optimize the design of a ply wood-web box girder. Sensitivity analyses are performed on the optimal design in order to identify and quantify the critical input parameters in the optimization process. The effects of errors in the problem's formulation, analytical errors arising from the structural analysis and statistical errors resulting in an inaccurate representation of the problem's probabilistic characteristics are studied.

description: Royden proved that any isometry of Teichmuller space in the Teichmuller metric must be an element of the extended mapping class group M(S). He also proved that the Teichmuller metric is not symmetric at any point. In this paper we give extensions of Royden's theorems from the Teichmuller metric to an arbitrary complete, finite covolume, M(S)-invariant Finsler (e.g. Riemannian) metric on Teichmuller space. In particular this gives a new mechanism behind Royden's original theorem.
