description: A wide range of applications require, by hypothesis, to have access to a high-speed, private, and genuine random source. Quantum Random Number Generators (QRNGs) are currently the sole technology capable of producing true randomness. However, the bulkiness of current implementations significantly limits their adoption. In this work, we present a high-performance source-device independent QRNG leveraging a custom made integrated photonic chip. The proposed scheme exploits the properties of a heterodyne receiver to enhance security and integration to promote spatial footprint reduction while simplifying its implementation. This characteristics could represents a significant advancement toward the development of generators better suited to meet the demands of portable and space applications. The system can deliver secure random numbers at a rate greater than 20 Gbps with a reduced spatial and power footprint.

description: We consider the problem of designing an optimal quantum detector that distinguishes unambiguously between a collection of mixed quantum states. Using arguments of duality in vector space optimization, we derive necessary and sufficient conditions for an optimal measurement that maximizes the probability of correct detection. We show that the previous optimal measurements that were derived for certain special cases satisfy these optimality conditions. We then consider state sets with strong symmetry properties, and show that the optimal measurement operators for distinguishing between these states share the same symmetries, and can be computed very efficiently by solving a reduced size semidefinite program.

The exosystems about HD169830 and HD12661: are they dynamical twins?

description: The new 2-planetary system around HD169830 has been announced during the XIX-th IAP Colloquium "Extrasolar Planets: Today & Tomorrow" (Paris, June 30 - July 4, 2003) by the Geneva Extrasolar Planet Search team. We study the orbital dynamics of this system in the framework of the $N$-body problem. The analysis of its orbital stability is performed using the long-term integrations and the fast indicators, the Mean Exponential Growth factor of Nearby Orbits and the Frequency Map Analysis. The HD169830 appears to be located in a wide stable region of the phase space. The ratio of the mean motions of the planets HD169830b and c is between low-order mean motion resonances, 9:1 and 10:1. The long-term integration of the coplanar configurations, conducted over 1Gyr, reveals that the eccentricities of the companions vary with a large amplitude about 0.4-0.5 but there is no sign of instability. The orbital parameters of the planets resemble those of another 2-planetary system, around HD12661. Both of them can be classified as hierarchical planetary systems. We investigate whether these two exosystems are dynamically similar. Such similarities may be important for finding out if the formation and subsequent orbital evolution of exoplanetary systems obey common rules.

Multidimensional inhomogeneous cosmology in scalar tensor theory

description: Exact cosmological solutions are obtained for a five dimensional inhomogeneous fluid distribution along with a Brans-Dicke type of scalar field. The set includes varied forms of matter field including $ρ+p=0$, where p is the 3D isotropic pressure. Depending on the signature of 4-space curvature our solutions admit of indefinite expansion in the usual 3-space and dimensional reduction of the fifth dimension. Due to the presence of the scalar field the case $p=-ρ$ does not yield an exponential expansion of the scale factor, which strikingly differs from our earlier investigations without scalar field.The \emph{effective} four dimensional values of entropy and matter are calculated and possible consequences of entropy and matter generation in the 4D world as a result of dimensional reduction of the extra space are also discussed. Encouraging to point out that aside from the well known big bang singularity our inhomogeneous cosmology is spatially regular everywhere. Further our model seems to suggest an alternative mechanism pointing to a smooth pass over from a primordial, inhomogeneous cosmological phase to a 4D homogeneous one.

description: Context: When selecting a classifier to use for a supernova Ia (SN Ia) cosmological analysis, it is common to make decisions based on metrics of classification performance, i.e. contamination within the photometrically classified SN Ia sample, rather than a measure of cosmological constraining power. If the former is an appropriate proxy for the latter, this practice would save those designing an analysis pipeline from the computational expense of a full cosmology forecast. Aims: This study tests the assumption that classification metrics are an appropriate proxy for cosmology metrics. Methods: We emulate photometric SN Ia cosmology samples with controlled contamination rates of individual contaminant classes and evaluate each of them under a set of classification metrics. We then derive cosmological parameter constraints from all samples under two common analysis approaches and quantify the impact of contamination by each contaminant class on the resulting cosmological parameter estimates. Results: We observe that cosmology metrics are sensitive to both the contamination rate and the class of the contaminating population, whereas the classification metrics are insensitive to the latter. Conclusions: We therefore discourage exclusive reliance on classification-based metrics for cosmological analysis design decisions, e.g. classifier choice, and instead recommend optimizing using a metric of cosmological parameter constraining power.

description: This paper examines the impact of agricultural cooperatives working as a marketing channel, and the determinant of members’ decision to sell products through agricultural based on household-level data of agricultural cooperatives members from poor rural areas in Sichuan province, in China. Employing different treatment effect estimators, i.e. PSM and IPWRA, we find that selling products through agricultural cooperatives has a positive and statistically significant effect on both farmers’ annual total household income and farm income. It was also found that the effect on farm income (around 180%) is higher than annual total household income (around 20%). Comparing the difference between ATTs and ATEs, we could suggest that the efficiency of agricultural cooperatives can be improved by encouraging non-sellers to sell products through agricultural cooperatives, which is possible to do according to the results of a probit model. Following empirical results obtained using the probit model, we conclude that farm size, farming machine, distance to market, credit constraint, sale condition, motivation to participate in agricultural cooperatives and the knowledge of agricultural cooperatives positively and significant influence the probability of a member selling products through agricultural cooperatives, while the market information ownership shows a negative significant effect on the choice.

COMMENTS: When Salvadori named halmaherae, he did not designate a type; rather, he listed 50 syntypes in his own and in other collections, with each identified by a letter. The above syntype is identified as specimen ‘‘t’’’ on the original label and on the Rothschild label. It has not previously been recognized as a type. There are an additional eight syntypes in MSNG (see Arbocco et al., 1979: 247) and 11 in RMNH (see Dekker and Quaisser, 2006: 61).

Food Security and Poverty

description: This study examines the responsiveness of major food commodities consumption expenditures to changes in total consumption expenditures and to changes in the price of those food commodities. The study uses LA-AIDS to derive farm household food demand elasticity using farm household panel data. The results revealed that, food consumption patterns and demand elasticities were quite different across farm size groups. The estimated income elasticities for food commodities showed that, elasticities were lowest for cereals groups and highest for high valued nutritious horticultural and livestock food products. The analysis of price and income effects based on the estimated demand system has recommended that with increase in food prices, the demand for staple food may not be affected adversely but, that of high-value food commodities is likely to be affected negatively. If increase in food commodity prices are ignored for an extended period of time, there will be adverse impact on the food diversification and resuming the cereal based consumption resulting in under-nourishment. The policy makers should take appropriate policy strategies for different farm size groups. It is better to distribute subsidized nutritive food and milch animals to achieve the food and nutritional security instead of providing financial benefit to farm households.

description: We present UBVRI photometry of the open cluster NGC 2422 (age $\sim 10^8$ yr) down to a limiting magnitude $V\simeq19$. These data are used to derive the Luminosity and Mass Functions and to study the cluster spatial distribution. By considering the color-magnitude diagram data and adopting a representative cluster main sequence, we obtained a list of candidate cluster members based on a photometric criterion. Using a reference field region and an iterative procedure, a correction for contaminating field stars has been derived in order to obtain the Luminosity and the Mass Functions in the $M=0.4-3.5 M_\odot$ range. By fitting the spatial distribution, we infer that a non-negligible number of cluster stars lies outside our investigated region. We have estimated a correction to the Mass Function of the cluster in order to take into account the "missing" cluster stars. The Present Day Mass Function of \ngc2422 can be represented by a power-law of index $α= 3.07 \pm0.08 $ (rms) -- the Salpeter Mass Function in this notation has index $α= 2.35$ -- in the mass range $ 0.9 \leq M/M_\odot\leq 2.5 $. The index $α$ and the total mass of the cluster are very similar to those of the Pleiades.

description: We consider the self organizing process of merging and regeneration of vertices in complex networks and demonstrate that a scale-free degree distribution emerges in a steady state of such a dynamics. The merging of neighbor vertices in a network may be viewed as an optimization of efficiency by minimizing redundancy. It is also a mechanism to shorten the distance and thus decrease signaling times between vertices in a complex network. Thus the merging process will in particular be relevant for networks where these issues related to global signaling are of concern.

We explicitly analyze the quantum Hall effect on complex projective spaces ${\bf CP}^k$ with a U(1) background magnetic field. The edge excitations are described by abelian bosonic fields on $S^{2k-1}$ with only one spatial direction along the boundary of the droplet relevant for the dynamics. Our analysis also leads to an action for edge excitations for the case of the Zhang-Hu four dimensional quantum Hall effect defined on $S^4$ with an SU(2) background magnetic field, using the fact that ${\bf CP}^3$ is an $S^2$ bundle over $S^4$.

description: Irrigation is seen as an appropriate adaptation measure to the effects of climate change. However, the costs of irrigation are not always covered by the additional revenue. Based on simulated yields using the crop growth model HERMES for different climate scenarios we estimate the profitability for three typical agricultural crops for different soil quality levels in the federal state of Brandenburg. The results show that not in all cases irrigation can be profitably applied. Medium quality soils are in general the sites that turn irrigation into a profitable revenue. Future crop price increases could turn irrigation more profitable, but the increasing irrigation water demands need to be met by water availability which is already a concern in some regions of Germany.

description: Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is a farming concept that allows growers and consumers to partner together to share the risks and benefits of food production. This study examines the impact of organic certification on Canadian CSA share prices. I use Canadian CSA data collected from online sources that documents CSA share prices and characteristics of CSA farms. Results suggest that CSA farms that self-identify as organic charge a 13% premium over conventional farms. I also find that CSA farms that are certified organic charge a 16% premium. These premiums are not statistically different from each other, which suggests that organic certification does not increase the premium relative to uncertified organic. It appears as though CSA, which is a direct marketing concept, acts as a substitute for third-party certification. This study also identifies several parameters that are important for CSA programs, namely the number of weeks the CSA provides produce, the average number of vegetable varieties, and the number of pick-up locations.

Es zeigt sich, dass die Einstellung durch unterschiedliche Faktoren beschrieben werden kann: Werden beispielsweise im Falle der Muttersauen- und Ferkelhaltung zwei tendenziell befürwortende/akzeptierende Faktoren beschrieben, ist dies bei Mastschweinen nur einer.

description: In April 2001 SN1993J was observed with both the PN and MOS cameras of the XMM-Newton observatory, resulting in about 7. x 10^4 s of acceptable observation time. Fit results with both the PN and MOS2 camera spectra studying different spectral models are presented. The spectra are best fitted in the energy range between 0.3 and 11 keV by a 2-component thermal model with temperatures of kT_1 = 0.34+-0.04 keV and kT_2 = 6.54+-4 keV, adopting ionization equilibrium. A fit with a shock model also provides acceptable results. Combining the XMM-Newton data with former X-ray observations of the supernova, we discuss the general trend of L_x propto t^{-0.30} and the bump of the X-ray light curve as well as former and recent spectral results in the light of the standard SN model as first proposed by Chevalier in 1982.

Opportunities for Community Wellbeing in Times of Emergency Response at UBC

description: The COVID-19 pandemic triggered a wave of mass shutdowns across the globe in early 2020, and UBC’s Vancouver campus was no exception. As classes moved online and social distancing regulations were implemented, concerns were raised about community wellbeing within the student population. This project aimed to investigate existing gaps in UBC’s current response to the pandemic, as well as provide recommendations to improve future emergency response strategies. This project involved the conduction of in-depth interviews with both current students and stakeholders within the UBC community, as well as an online student survey and a literature review. The main research question investigated was ‘What are the best practices in community wellbeing that can be proposed for future emergency preparation and response strategies at UBC, based on the evaluation of the current COVID-19 response?’ The most promising initiatives adopted in other universities and communities were identified as being the creation of student volunteer emergency response teams and the adoption of culturally sensitive pandemic planning methods. Both strategies demonstrate great potential to be implemented at UBC. The most vulnerable student groups during the COVID-19 pandemic were identified, with international students recognized as being particularly vulnerable, as well as students with dependents, immunocompromised students and students of lower socio-economic status. Finally, gaps in UBC’s current resources were identified and examined, with lack of communication and advertisement emerging as a large factor. Based on these findings, several recommendations were made, including the implementation of a student volunteer emergency response team at UBC, the creation of a new and accessible online mental health resource and the establishment of a centralized location where students could access information regarding all resources available to them.

description: We studied the X-ray and optical absorption properties of 13 Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) afterglows observed by BeppoSAX. We found that X-ray absorption in addition to the Galactic one along the line of sight is highly statistically significant in the two cases with the best statistics (probability >99.9%). In three other cases the presence of X-ray absorption is marginally significant (probability 97%). Measured rest frame equivalent hydrogen column densities NH range from 0.1 to 10.0 x 10^22 cm-2 (at 90% confidence level) assuming a solar metal abundance. X-ray absorption may be common, although the quality of present data does not allow us to reach a firm conclusion. The rest frame NH derived from XMM and Chandra data as quoted in the literature are in good agreement with the BeppoSAX estimates. For the same GRB afterglow sample we evaluated the rest frame visual extinction AVr. We fitted the optical-NIR afterglow photometry with a power law model corrected by four different extinction curves. By comparing X-ray absorptions and optical extinction, we found that if a Galactic-like dust grain size distribution is assumed, a dust to gas ratio lower than the one observed in the Galaxy is required by the data. A dust to gas ratio 1/10 than the Galactic one, has been tested using the Small Magellanic Cloud extinction curve, which produces inconsistent results. Alternative scenarios to explain simultaneously the optical and X-ray data involve dust with grain size distributions biased toward large grains. Possible mechanisms that can bring to such a grain size distribution are discussed.

description: Tendo em conta que a reutilização dos dados de investigação contribui para aumentar a visibilidade dos resultados científicos, a gestão de dados é cada vez mais valorizada. Neste contexto a descrição de dados, apesar de exigente, é uma tarefa muito importante. O Dendro, plataforma colaborativa de gestão de dados intermédia, está a ser desenvolvida na Universidade do Porto para auxiliar os investigadores na descrição de dados de investigação assim que começam a ser produzidos para posterior transferência para repositórios. A falta de tempo, ferramentas, experiência ou conhecimento na gestão dos dados, assim como as questões de criação de metadados de boa qualidade estão entre limitações identificadas na descrição e publicação de dados por parte de investigadores. Com este trabalho pretende-se introduzir vocabulários controlados para simplificar e normalizar a descrição de dados na plataforma Dendro. Estes são apresentados sob a forma de listas de escolhas e formalizados como ontologias. Os vocabulários controlados para descrição de dados de investigação foram testados em colaboração com investigadores do domínio da Produção de Hidrogénio. Os resultados de análise de qualidade de metadados sugerem que o uso de vocabulários controlados simplificou o processo de descrição, obtendo-se uma descrição mais completa e correta.

description: A dynamical model of small-world network, with directed links which describe various correlations in social and natural phenomena, is presented. Random responses of every site to the imput message are introduced to simulate real systems. The interplay of these ingredients results in collective dynamical evolution of a spin-like variable S(t) of the whole network. In the present model, global average spreading length \langel L >_s and average spreading time _s are found to scale as p^-αln N with different exponents. Meanwhile, S behaves in a duple scaling form for N>>N^*: S ~ f(p^-βq^γt'_sc), where p and q are rewiring and external parameters, α, β, γand f(t'_sc) are scaling exponents and universal functions, respectively. Possible applications of the model are discussed.

description: We have studied properties of nonlinear waves in a mathematical model of a predator-prey system with pursuit and evasion. We demonstrate a new type of propagating wave in this system. The mechanism of propagation of these waves essentially depends on the ``taxis'', represented by nonlinear ``cross-diffusion'' terms in the mathematical formulation. We have shown that the dependence of the velocity of wave propagation on the taxis has two distinct forms, ``parabolic'' and ``linear''. Transition from one form to the other correlates with changes in the shape of the wave profile. Dependence of the propagation velocity on diffusion in this system differs from the square-root dependence typical of reaction-diffusion waves. We demonstrate also that, for systems with negative and positive taxis, for example, pursuit and evasion, there typically exists a large region in the parameter space, where the waves demonstrate quasisoliton interaction: colliding waves can penetrate through each other, and waves can also reflect from impermeable boundaries.

description: For long-term deployment in dynamic real-world environments, assistive robots must continue to learn and adapt to their environments. Researchers have developed various computational models for continual learning (CL) that can allow robots to continually learn from limited training data, and avoid forgetting previous knowledge. While these CL models can mitigate forgetting on static, systematically collected datasets, it is unclear how human users might perceive a robot that continually learns over multiple interactions with them. In this paper, we developed a system that integrates CL models for object recognition with a Fetch mobile manipulator robot and allows human participants to directly teach and test the robot over multiple sessions. We conducted an in-person study with 60 participants that interacted with our system in 300 sessions (5 sessions per participant). We conducted a between-subject study with three different CL models to understand human perceptions of continual learning robots over multiple sessions. Our results suggest that participants' perceptions of trust, competence, and usability of a continual learning robot significantly decrease over multiple sessions if the robot forgets previously learned objects. However, the perceived task load on participants for teaching and testing the robot remains the same over multiple sessions even if the robot forgets previously learned objects. Our results also indicate that state-of-the-art CL models might perform unreliably when applied on robots interacting with human participants. Further, continual learning robots are not perceived as very trustworthy or competent by human participants, regardless of the underlying continual learning model or the session number.

description: Devido às alterações tecnológicas que ocorreram nos últimos anos foram introduzidas novas formas de adquirir, armazenar e transmitir a ciência. As instituições de ensino superior que têm revistas científicas procuram divulgá-las e dar-lhes visibilidade. Para o fazer muitas têm recorrido à utilização do Open Journal System (OJS), desenvolvido pelo Public Knowledge Project. Usando este sistema foi possível criar uma plataforma independente para a revista Saúde & Tecnologia, da ESTeSL, e para a revista Da Investigação às Práticas, da ESELx. O objetivo para a implementação do sistema foi facilitar as tarefas dos editores, dar maior visibilidade às revistas e disponibilizá-las em plataformas internacionais. Ambas as Escolas decidiram usar o OJS para a realização desta tarefa e, neste momento, as duas revistas dispõem de um espaço independente onde estão alojados os números já editados. A ESTeSL também disponibiliza a sua revista no Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) e a ESELx na Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO) que, por sua vez, assegura o processo de submissão ao DOAJ. As vantagens da adoção desta plataforma são a disponibilização de uma plataforma web acessível a qualquer um dos elementos envolvidos no processo editorial, a qualquer hora e em qualquer lugar.
