Entanglement, mixedness and perfect local discrimination of orthogonal quantum states
Creators: name: Bandyopadhyay, Somshubhro
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: It is shown that local distinguishability of orthogonal mixed states can be completely characterized by local distinguishability of their supports irrespective of entanglement and mixedness of the states. This leads to two kinds of upper bounds on the number of perfect LOCC distinguishable orthogonal mixed states. The first one depends only on pure-state entanglement within the supports of the states, and therefore may be easy to compute in many instances. The second bound is optimal in the sense that it optimizes the bounding quantities, not necessarily function of entanglement alone, over all orthogonal mixed state ensembles (satisfying certain conditions) admissible within the supports of the density matrices.

La riscoperta dello stile bramantesco, tra istanze storiografiche e prospettive progettuali
Creators: name: D'Amia, Giovanna
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2021

description:

In the first decades of the 19th century the rediscovery of the ‘bramantesco’ style assumed a strong local character due to the supposed existence of a ‘Milanese’ ‘bramantesco’ style. This movement consisted in attributing the early stages of Italian Renaissance art to the Lombard culture of the 15th century. The historiographic analysis is associated with episodes of architectural revival episodes in order to capture the first instances of renewal and experiment new models that went beyond the Vitruvian canon adopted in the Brera school. Indeed, the more flexible proportions of the ‘bramantesco style’ were more suitable to the need for variety and modernity of residential architecture, and more appropriate to be used in the standardised production of ornamental terracotta elements.

Random site dilution properties of frustrated magnets on a hierarchical lattice

description: We present a method to analyze magnetic properties of frustrated Ising spin models on specific hierarchical lattices with random dilution. Disorder is induced by dilution and geometrical frustration rather than randomness in the internal couplings of the original Hamiltonian. The two-dimensional model presented here possesses a macroscopic entropy at zero temperature in the large size limit, very close to the Pauling estimate for spin-ice on pyrochlore lattice, and a crossover towards a paramagnetic phase. The disorder due to dilution is taken into account by considering a replicated version of the recursion equations between partition functions at different lattice sizes. An analysis at first order in replica number allows for a systematic reorganization of the disorder configurations, leading to a recurrence scheme. This method is numerically implemented to evaluate the thermodynamical quantities such as specific heat and susceptibility in an external field.

description: We elaborate a modification of the deformable two-sublattice Mitsui model of [Levitskii R.R. et al., Phys. Rev. B. 2003, 67, 174112] and [Levitskii R.R. et al., Condens. Matter Phys., 2005, 8, 881] that consistently takes into account diagonal components of the strain tensor, arising either due to external pressures or due to thermal expansion. We calculate the related to those strains thermal, piezoelectric, and elastic characteristics of the system. Using the developed fitting procedure, a set of the model parameters is found for the case of Rochelle salt crystals, providing a satisfactory agreement with the available experimental data for the hydrostatic and uniaxial pressure dependences of the Curie temperatures, temperature dependences of spontaneous diagonal strains, linear thermal expansion coefficients, elastic constants c_ij^E and c_i4^E, piezoelectric coefficients d_1i and g_1i (i=1,2,3). The hydrostatic pressure variation of dielectric permittivity is described using a derived expression for the permittivity of a partially clamped crystal. The dipole moments and the asymmetry parameter of Rochelle salt are found to increase with hydrostatic pressure.

description: Die internationale Gemeinschaft hat in den vergangenen Jahren mehrere Initiativen vorangetrieben, die das Bankgeheimnis auf Steueroasen lüften sollen. Solche Abkommen zum Informationsaustausch zwischen Steuerbehördenkönnen wirksam sein. Abkommen zwischen Land A und einer Steueroase B reduzieren die Einlagen von Personen aus A in Banken von B um eine Größenordnung von etwa 30 Prozent. Die Analyse zeigt aber, dass SteuerhinterzieherInnen auf solche Abkommen wohl weniger mit einem Übergang zur Steuerehrlichkeit reagieren, als mit einer angepassten Form der Hinterziehung. Folglich müsste die Staatengemeinschaft nochmals deutlich härter gegen Steuerhinterziehung vorgehen, beispielsweise indem die letztlich Begünstigten von Vermögen in Steueroasen offengelegt werden oder Finanzinstitutionen in Steueroasen der Zugang zum internationalen Kapitalmarkt erschwert wird.

description: Abstract
No doubt, India is a developed economy, which is on par with many other developed countries globally. Development of an economy cannot be emphasized from the view point of education, technology, digitalization, job opportunities in information technology and so on. The most vital aspect of today's world is about "Environmental Protection". Environmental protection and sustainability is the most prioritized issue, which has to be given prominent attention by all over the countries in the world. India, being a highly populated, ever growing economy with tiny, micro, small and medium industries to large scale industries and abundant manpower. On the other side, urbanization, increase in usage of transport and industrial effluents, usage of plastic is causing pollution and threat to environment. Environment taught us a lesson recently, causing pandemic in the year 2019 i,e., Corona Virus. Our focus has been shifted towards knowing the importance of nature and its protection and sustainability. Renewable energy resources like air, water, solar and geothermal power offer us the most promising solutions for rapid industrialization, irrespective of Small-Medium or Large Scale industries.  For instance, India has set a target of deploying approximately 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030 with an expected contribution of 280 GW of Solar PV. This endeavor can give rise to employment opportunities for the youth and enable them to play a vital role in preserving the environment. In this context, this paper focuses on the significance of environmental protection, issues and challenges and generation of green (clean) jobs, which will be a new reform in the history of employment in India in the near future.

description:

James Cavanah Murphy (1760-1814), one of Ireland’s foremost antiquarian architects, is considered as a protagonist of the Gothic and Moorish Revival. His work was a catalyst on reception and dissemination of architectural styles in continental Europe. Murphy’s essay on the origins of Gothic architecture set the stage for his monograph, Royal Monastery of Batalha (1795). Murphy’s monumental opus Arabian Antiquities of Spain (1815) was an exponent of Moorish Revival architecture. A material source for Owen Jones’s Plans, Elevations, Sections and Details of the Alhambra produced from 1836 to 1845. This paper sets out to locate Murphy as a pioneer of developing style, ornament and colour in the Nineteenth century.

description:

In 19th century Italy and Europe the phenomenon of religious buildings as State-owned properties and their reuse as ‘public services’ assumed the characteristics of a real urban and cultural revolution. In the case of Venice, this phenomenon consisted in an effective project of ‘regeneration’ of an historical city. Thanks to the extensive use of archival sources, this article investigates Venice as a case study of a complex urban plan that occurred massive transformations, especially considering the suppressions of religious buildings undertaken between 1805 and 1808 in the lagoon area. The papers also offer an insight on the French plan of reuse of ‘emptied’ buildings for allocating there new services.

Rossi’s Saint Anthony, from Beckford’s Oratories to Sir Francis Cook’s ‘Sanctuary’ in Monserrate Palace, Portugal
Creators: name: Neto, Maria João Baptista
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2021

description:

William Beckford’s statue of Saint Anthony, sculpted by John Rossi, included one of the most valued pieces of his art collection. As this paper argues, this statue was modeled after a sixteenth century sculpture of the Church of Saint Anthony located in Lisbon. The statue played a major role at Fonthill Abbey, where it was displayed in a sumptuous sanctuary. The same occurred in Lansdown Tower, enthroned in a new oratory. After Beckford’s death, the art collector Francis Cook purchased the statue for his Monserrate estate in Sintra, where Beckford lived between 1794 and 1795. The Lansdown sanctuary was then recreated in Monserrateas an intriguing homage to Beckford.

The Florentine Revival of Late Nineteenth-Century French Sculpture
Creators: name: Vermot, Federica
Publisher: name: Fondazione Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia
Year: 2021

description:

The aim of this paper is to show how French sculpture briefly resumed the impasse in which it was stuck in the middle of the nineteenth century thanks to the reliance on fifteenth-century Florentine sculpture. An analysis of the commentaries made by the critics of the Gazette des Beaux-Arts, which was the first journal to assess and promote neo-Florentine sculptors in the 1860s and 1870s, allows to better grasp the evolution and failure of the trend, as well as the various issues that were at stake, such as originality and naturalism in sculpture. This revival provided French art with a new generation of successful sculptors and inspiring works that eventually lead to the unprecedented – and short-lived – triumph of sculpture at the Exposition Universelle of 1878.

Investigations of wine and grape skin tannins from the Okanagan valley

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2013

description: A grape skin tannin profile was established throughout berry development in Oliver, Naramata, and Osoyoos, three sites in the Okanagan area of British Columbia, using both 70% acetone and 12% ethanol as extraction solvents. Tannins were analyzed by ultra-high pressure liquid chromatography (UHPLC) to determine how total tannins, mean degree of polymerization (mDP), and percent subunit composition varied. Tannins for each sample did vary by more than 20% with the exception of one sample set. All of the samples’ mDP did not vary by more than 20%, with the exception of two sample sets; most of the percent subunit composition also did not vary by more than 20% with the exception of one sample set. These same samples were then analyzed by methyl cellulose precipitation assay (MCP) to determine tannin content in relation to astringency. It was predicted that as more tannins bonded with polysaccharide over the course of berry development, the astringency would decrease. We found a low correlation between total tannins quantified by the MCP assay and by UHPLC (r²< 0.52), and between total tannins quantified by the MCP assay and mDP calculated via analysis by UHPLC (r²> 0.37). A new gelatin adsorption assay to determine tannin quantity in wines was also developed. This method allows tannins in wine to bind with gelatin. Then, by recording the absorption of phenolic compounds at 280 nm before and after binding, we ascertained a value related to astringency. There was a good correlation between the Gelatin Adsorption Assay and the established MCP assay: r²= 0.99 when using model wine with the addition of grape seed extract, and r²= 0.98 when using real red wine samples. This method will allow for a cheaper way to evaluate tannins in red wines.

Augusto Burchi e la cultura revivalistica a Firenze

description:

In the Florence of the second half of the 19th century, the cult of the past was of primary importance. The life and work of Augusto Burchi (1853-1919) could be interpreted as a paradigmatic example of this cultural milieu, of its patrons and its goals. Burchi’s training – that was not academic - shows the rediscovery and assimilation of styles from the past by local decorators and craftsmen while the analysis of some his most important works helps to appreciate the different meanings accorded to this peculiar ornamental language by an élite of both local and foreigners rich patrons. The final phase of his artistic career also reveals a change in the public eye: indeed, a new trend for ‘modern’ decoration is emerging.

description: In this work we investigate the effect of a kind of scalar field, called chameleon, on the evolution of universe. We put this scalar field in the bulk. It is displayed that this scalar field gives us an exponential expansion in early time which may concern inflation. Interaction between scalar field and matter bring some complications in our analysis, however it is shown that by defining an effective potential, we could recover conventional equation at inflation era. After inflation, and entering the universe in radiation era, the exponential expansion is omitted. Also, in late time the universe possess an accelerated expansion. In the last section, the validity of generalized second law of thermodynamic, with assumption the validity of first law is considered.

Das trifft insbesondere auf Entwicklungsländer zu, in denen Haushalte oft besonders stark unter den Folgen extremer Wetterereignisse leiden. Dieser Bericht evaluiert als einer der ersten die Wirkung einer weltweit beachteten indexbasierten Versicherung, der Index-Based Livestock Insurance (IBLI) in der Mongolei. Die empirische Untersuchung, die auf ökonometrischen Methoden basiert, verwendet Daten aus einer Befragung von fast 1 800 Haushalten. Sie zeigt, dass die Indexversicherung eine deutlich positive Wirkung auf die Haushalte hat: In den ersten drei Jahren nach einem extrem kalten und schneereichen Winter stehen die mongolischen Haushalte mit Versicherungspolice mit Blick auf ihren Viehbestand und damit ihr Vermögen und Einkommen deutlich besser da als nicht versicherte Haushalte. Sie haben eine um bis zu ein Drittel größere Viehherde. Indexversicherungen könnten vielerorts ein geeignetes Instrument sein, um zu verhindern, dass extreme Wetterereignisse in Armut münden.

description: Mit fortschreitendem Klimawandel treten extreme Wetterereignisse immer häufiger auf. Darunter leiden vor allem Menschen in Entwicklungsländern. Dieser Bericht untersucht am Beispiel der Mongolei, wie extrem kalte und schneereiche Winter, die zu einer erhöhten Viehsterblichkeit führen und damit die finanzielle Lebensgrundlage vieler Haushalte bedrohen, den Erwerb von Schulbildung beeinträchtigen. Die Ergebnisse, die auf einer repräsentativen Haushaltsbefragung des DIW Berlin und des Statistikamtes der Mongolei beruhen, zeigen: Personen, die während ihres schulpflichtigen Alters einem Extremwinter ausgesetzt waren und in einem stark betroffenen Distrikt lebten, erreichten die gesetzlich vorgeschriebene Mindestschulzeit von neun Jahren mit einer um 20,1 bis 26,1 Prozentpunkte geringeren Wahrscheinlichkeit als gleichaltrige Kinder in nicht betroffenen Gebieten. Da Bildung wesentlich über das spätere Einkommen einer Person bestimmt, ist davon auszugehen, dass die extremen Wetterereignisse langfristige Folgen für die untersuchten Kinder haben. Die Politik vor Ort sollte daher – bestenfalls unterstützt durch internationale Entwicklungshilfe – Maßnahmen ergreifen, die es Haushalten in Not ermöglichen, ihre Kinder ohne Unterbrechung zur Schule zu schicken.

description: Recent measurements by the ATLAS and CMS experiments have excluded the Standard Model Higgs boson in the high mass region, even if it is produced with a significantly smaller cross section than expected. The bounds are dominated by the non-observation of a signal in the clean gold-plated mode $h\to ZZ\to 4\ell$ and, hence, are directly related to the special role of the Higgs in electroweak symmetry breaking. A smaller cross section in comparison to the Standard Model is expected if the Higgs is realized as an unparticle in the Unhiggs scenario. With the LHC probing $σ/σ^{SM}<1$, we can therefore reinterpret the $h\to ZZ\to 4\ell$ exclusion limits as bounds on the Unhiggs' scaling dimension. Throughout the high Higgs mass range, where we expect a large signal in the presence of the Standard Model Higgs for the 2011 ATLAS and CMS data sets, the observed limits translate into mild bounds on the Unhiggs scaling dimension in the high mass region.

description: Haushalte in Entwicklungsländern sind zunehmend extremen Wetterereignissen ausgesetzt, die ihren Wohlstand gefährden können. Dieser Bericht untersucht die Folgen des ungewöhnlich kalten und schneereichen Winters von 2009/2010 auf den Viehbestand mongolischer Haushalte. Der Viehbestand macht durchschnittlich mehr als 90 Prozent des gesamten Vermögens der Haushalte aus. Er ist wichtigstes Konsumgut und aufgrund mangelhafter Finanzinfrastruktur auch die wichtigste Möglichkeit, für die Zukunft vorzusorgen. Die ökonometrische Analyse basiert auf drei Wellen einer Haushaltsbefragung, die das DIW Berlin zusammen mit dem Statistikamt der Mongolei zwei bis fünf Jahre nach dem Extremereignisdurchgeführt hat. Der extrem harte Winter hat den Viehbestand von ländlichen Viehhalterhaushalten drastisch reduziert. Viele Betroffene sind in Folge des extremen Winters aus der Viehhaltung ausgeschieden und haben sich in Städten niedergelassen, um sich als Lohnarbeiterinnen und Lohnarbeiter zu verdingen – was wiederum negative Folgen für den Wohlstand dieser Haushalte hatte. Stark betroffene Haushalte, die weiterhin Vieh hielten, verzeichneten auch fünf Jahre nach dem Ereignis ein geringeres Herdenwachstum als weniger stark betroffene Haushalte. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass extreme Wetterereignisse langfristig negative Folgen für Haushalte haben und unterstreichen den Bedarf einer gezielten Hilfe der Betroffenen.

description: Widespread sharing of long, identical-by-descent (IBD) genetic segments is a hallmark of populations that have experienced recent genetic drift. Detection of these IBD segments has recently become feasible, enabling a wide range of applications from phasing and imputation to demographic inference. Here, we study the distribution of IBD sharing in the Wright-Fisher model. Specifically, using coalescent theory, we calculate the variance of the total sharing between random pairs of individuals. We then investigate the cohort-averaged sharing: the average total sharing between one individual and the rest of the cohort. We find that for large cohorts, the cohort-averaged sharing is distributed approximately normally. Surprisingly, the variance of this distribution does not vanish even for large cohorts, implying the existence of "hyper-sharing" individuals. The presence of such individuals has consequences for the design of sequencing studies, since, if they are selected for whole-genome sequencing, a larger fraction of the cohort can be subsequently imputed. We calculate the expected gain in power of imputation by IBD, and subsequently, in power to detect an association, when individuals are either randomly selected or specifically chosen to be the hyper-sharing individuals. Using our framework, we also compute the variance of an estimator of the population size that is based on the mean IBD sharing and the variance in the sharing between inbred siblings. Finally, we study IBD sharing in an admixture pulse model, and show that in the Ashkenazi Jewish population the admixture fraction is correlated with the cohort-averaged sharing.

Laser-driven Sisyphus cooling in an optical dipole trap
Creators: name: Ivanov, Vladyslav V.

Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Atomic Physics (physics.atom-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We propose a novel Sisyphus cooling scheme for atoms confined in a far off resonance optical dipole trap. Utilizing the differential trap-induced AC Stark shift, two electronic levels of the atom are resonantly coupled by a cooling laser preferentially near the trap bottom. After absorption of a cooling photon, the atom loses energy by climbing the steeper potential, and then spontaneously decays preferentially away from the trap bottom. The proposed method is particularly suited to cooling alkaline-earth-like atoms where two-level systems with narrow electronic transitions are present. Numerical simulations for the cases of $^{88}$Sr and $^{174}$Yb demonstrate the expected recoil and Doppler temperature limits. The method requires a relatively small number of scattered photons and can potentially lead to phase space densities approaching quantum degeneracy in sub-second timescales.

Adaptation and creativity in Montreal's West African music scene
Creators: name: Kelley, Michael Alexander
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2014

description: This thesis is an ethnography of Montreal’s West African music scene. Through participant observation, interviews, and research I provide a view of how African musicians have adapted their music to a new environment. Special focus is given to how African music was constructed and perceived by African performers, though attention is also paid to their Québecois counterparts. I discuss how an array of interpretations about the meaning and form of African music co-exists, forming part of a larger musical discourse that gives shape to a style of African music unique to Québec. I first provide an overview of the African music scene, describing its major venues, events, and performers. Next, I describe the style of African music that takes place there, an adaptation of Malian and Guinean popular music. I also describe the efforts of Québecois musicians to reimagine African music for their own use, offering up a very different interpretation than that given by Africans in Montreal. Through collective interpretation, African and Canadian musicians in Montreal have built an innovative and interesting music scene that is still developing. This scene relies on a productive discourse between African musicians, Québecois performers of African music, and the larger audience for African music in Montreal.

description: Die Heizkosten für private Haushalte sanken 2017 zum vierten Mal in Folge deutlich. Der Heizenergieverbrauch allerdings stagniert auf dem Niveau von 2010 und es zeichnet sich hinsichtlich des Klimaschutzes eine verlorene Dekade ab. Dies zeigen die Auswertungen des Wärmemonitors 2017, der vom DIW Berlin gemeinsam mit dem Energiedienstleister ista Deutschland GmbH jährlich auf Grundlage eines umfangreichen Datenbestands von Heizenergieabrechnungen von Mehrfamilienhäusern in Deutschland ermittelt wird. Angesichts der seit 2016 gestiegenen Heizölpreise ist für die kommende Abrechnungsperiode ein Ende dieses Trends zu erwarten. Um höhere Kosten für Mieterinnen und Mieter abzufedern und vor dem Hintergrund der Klimaziele sind Energieeffizienzmaßnahmen unablässig. Effizienzanforderungen bei Neubauten sollten daher nicht aufgeweicht werden. Für den Gebäudebestand sollten zusätzliche Maßnahmen für die Förderung von Energieeffizienz ergriffen werden, die sich im Spannungsfeld zwischen Mieterinteressen und ausreichenden Anreizen für energetische Sanierungen bewähren müssen.

description: We present the spectra of 60 asteroids, including 47 V-types observed during the first phase of the Adler V-Type Asteroid (AVAST) Survey. SDSS photometry was used to select candidate V-type asteroids for follow up by nature of their very blue $i-z$ color. 47 of the 61 observed candidates were positively classified as V-type asteroids, while an additional six show indications of a 0.9 $μ$m feature consistent with V-type spectra, but not sufficient for formal classification. Four asteroids were found to be S-type, all of which had $i-z$ values very near the adopted AVAST selection criteria of $i-z \le -0.2$, including one candidate observed well outside the cut (at a mean $i-z$ of -0.11). Three A-type asteroids were also identified. Six V-type asteroids were observed beyond the 3:1 mean motion resonance with Jupiter, including the identification of two new V-type asteroids (63085 and 105041) at this distance. Six V-type asteroids were observed with low ($<5°$) orbital inclination, outside of the normal dynamical range of classic Vestoids, and are suggestive of a non-Vesta origin for at least some of the population.
