description: The issue of climate change is becoming more prevalent due to its effects increasing in intensity as extreme weather events are on the rise and will continue to heavily impact the lives of future generations globally. This leads us to examine the understanding of climate change risks and vulnerabilities for human health on the University of British Columbia’s Vancouver campus to strengthen climate resilience through planning and policy initiatives. Previous literature noted climate change’s influence is posing risks for transportation systems due to extreme weather events. Given that many UBC students rely on transportation infrastructures, we wished to examine students’ experience with transportation to and from campus, as well as accessibility on the UBC Vancouver campus when an extreme weather even occurs. We conducted a survey and gathered personal accounts from Reddit to understand students perceived risks and vulnerabilities relating to extreme weather events when it comes to transportation and accessibility. This research found that UBC students reported inadequacy with UBC’s current initiatives to aid student transportation and accessibility experience, calling for stricter guidelines and planning initiatives relating to extreme weather events.

description: We present new VLA C-configuration HI imaging of the Lyman Alpha-emitting starburst galaxies Tol 1924-416 and IRAS 08339+6517. The effective resolution probes neutral gas structures larger than 4.7 kpc in Tol 1924-416, and larger than 8.1 kpc in IRAS 08339+6517. Both systems are revealed to be tidally interacting: Tol 1924-416 with ESO 338-IG04B (6.6 arcminutes = 72 kpc minimum separation), and IRAS 08339+6517 with 2MASX J08380769+6508579 (2.4 arcminutes = 56 kpc minimum separation). The HI emission is extended in these systems, with tidal tails and debris between the target galaxies and their companions. Since Lyman Alpha emission has been detected from both of these primary systems, these observations suggest that the geometry of the ISM is one of the factors affecting the escape fraction of Lyman Alpha emission from starburst environments. Furthermore, these observations argue for the importance of interactions in triggering massive star formation events.

description: When existing clinical trial data suggest a promising subgroup, we must address the question of how good the selected subgroup really is. The usual statistical inference applied to the selected subgroup, assuming that the subgroup is chosen independent of the data, may lead to an overly optimistic evaluation of the selected subgroup. In this article, we address the issue of selection bias and develop a de-biasing bootstrap inference procedure for the best selected subgroup effect. The proposed inference procedure is model-free, easy to compute, and asymptotically sharp. We demonstrate the merit of our proposed method by reanalyzing the MONET1 trial and show that how the subgroup is selected post hoc should play an important role in any statistical analysis.

description: We present a new sample of 30 nearby (z<0.2) BL Lacs, selected to study the nuclear as well as the large scale properties of low power radio sources. In this first paper, we show and discuss new radio data taken with the VLA (19 objects at 1.4 GHz, either in A or C configuration, or both) as well as with the VLBA (15 sources at 5 GHz). On the kiloparsec scale, all objects exhibit a compact core and a variety of radio morphologies (jets, halos, secondary compact components). On the parsec scale, we find weak cores and a few short, one-sided, jets. From the jet/counter-jet ratio, core dominance, and synchrotron self Compton model we estimate the intrinsic orientation and velocity of the jets. The resulting properties of BL Lacs are similar to those of a parent population composed of FR I radio galaxies.

description: Depuis la fin des années 1980 il existe des jeux de données de grande échelle, permettant un suivi du système Terre. A la fin des années 1990 ces données sont devenues systématiques et peu coûteuses, notamment du fait du développement puis de la généralisation de l’imagerie satellite. Cette dernière permet d’appréhender des phénomènes physiques, météorologiques, un suivi de l’usage des sols, mais aussi l’évolution de l’urbanisation ou de certains polluants, avec une résolution dépendant de capteurs de plus en plus sophistiqués. Parallèlement, l’économie de l’environnement s’est enrichie d’une approche empirique et des collaborations avec les sciences de la vie et de l’univers, permettant des échanges entre disciplines, ainsi que la généralisation de méthodes d’analyse utiles à la discipline dans son ensemble. Nous retraçons ici comment ces nouvelles données, ainsi que les techniques développées, en partie issues des collaborations avec les sciences de l’environnement, du climat et du vivant, ont changé l’approche économique pouvant placer l’économie de l’environnement au centre du renouveau permis par cette émulation.
Wave-particle duality relations based on entropic bounds for which-way information

description: We present wave-particle duality relations involving the relative entropy coherence measure, which plays a prominent role in the resource theory of coherence. The main input in these relations is an entropic bound for the which-way information, which we derive in this letter. We show that this latter crucially depends on the choice of the measurement strategy to obtain the path information. In particular, we present results for two strategies: zero-error identification of the path-detector states, which never produces an error but sometimes fails to return a conclusive answer, and a mixed strategy where both errors and failure are allowed.

description: Methods of three-dimensional deconvolution (3DD) or volumetric deconvolution of optical complex-valued wavefronts diffracted by 3D samples with the 3D point spread function are presented. Particularly, the quantitative correctness of the recovered 3D sample distributions is addressed. Samples consisting of point-like objects can be retrieved from their 3D diffracted wavefronts with non-iterative (Wiener filter) 3DD. Continuous extended samples, including complex-valued (phase) samples, can be retrieved with iterative (Gold and Richardson-Lucy) 3DD algorithms. It is shown that quantitatively correct 3D sample distribution can be only recovered with iterative 3DD, and with the optimal protocols provided. It is demonstrated that 3DD can improve the lateral resolution to the resolution limit and the axial resolution can be at least four times better than the resolution limit. The presented 3DD methods of complex-valued optical fields can be applied for 3D optical imaging and holography.

description: Bilayer quantum Hall systems develop strong interlayer phase-coherence when the distance between layers is comparable to the typical distance between electrons within a layer. The phase-coherent state has until now been investigated primarily via transport measurements. We argue here that interlayer current and charge-imbalance noise studies in these systems will be able to address some of the key experimental questions. We show that the characteristic frequency of current-noise is that of the zero wavevector collective mode, which is sensitive to the degree of order in the system. Local electric potential noise measured in a plane above the bilayer system on the other hand is sensitive to finite-wavevector collective modes and hence to the soft-magnetoroton picture of the order-disorder phase transition.

description: We demonstrate a novel method for measuring the discrete energy spectrum of a quantum dot connected very weakly to a single lead. A train of voltage pulses applied to a metal gate induces tunneling of electrons between the quantum dot and a reservoir. The effective tunnel rate depends on the number and nature of the energy levels in the dot made accessible by the pulse. Measurement of the charge dynamics thus reveals the energy spectrum of the dot, as demonstrated for a dot in the few-electron regime.

description: Techniques of gene transfer are revolutionizing agricultural research and development. Within the past 15 years, a merging of science and technology and of the university research system with private industry has resulted in new products and applications. Problems have arisen such as patenting of living processes, maintaining academic freedom, determining strategies for risk assessment, furthering consolidation of agriculture, displacing efficient producers, and emerging monopolies. USDA has established review mechanisms to facilitate development of agricultural biotechnology, while protecting public safety and the environment. These include expanded research guidelines, a national infrastructure to identify outdoor test sites, expert reviewers for evaluating proposals, and post-release monitoring of test-site environments.

The spectra of Lambda_c and Lambda_c bar in pA, Sigma^-A and pi^-A collisions are well explained by the model using the values of parameters used in hadroproductions of D and D bar. It is shown that the role of valence diquark in the incident baryon is important for D bar productions as well as for Lambda_c production.

description: We measure the 10 and $18μ$m silicate features in a sample of 67 local ($z<0.1$) type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGN) with available {\it Spitzer} spectra dominated by non-stellar processes. We find that the $10μ$m silicate feature peaks at $10.3^{+0.7}_{-0.9}μ$m with a strength (Si$_{p}$ = ln f$_{p}$(spectrum)/f$_{p}$(continuum)) of $0.11^{+0.15}_{-0.36}$, while the $18μ$m one peaks at $17.3^{+0.4}_{-0.7}μ$m with a strength of $0.14^{+0.06}_{-0.06}$. We select from this sample sources with the strongest 10$μ$m silicate strength ($σ_{Si_{10μm}}>0.28$, 10 objects). We carry out a detailed modeling of the IRS/{\it Spitzer} spectra by comparing several models that assume different geometries and dust composition: a smooth torus model, two clumpy torus models, a two-phase medium torus model, and a disk+outflow clumpy model. We find that the silicate features are well modeled by the clumpy model of Nenkova et al. 2008, and among all models those including outflows and complex dust composition are the best (Hoenig et al. 2017). We note that even in AGN-dominated galaxies it is usually necessary to add stellar contributions to reproduce the emission at the shortest wavelengths.

Deletion-Compliance in the Absence of Privacy

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Garg, Goldwasser and Vasudevan (Eurocrypt 2020) invented the notion of deletion-compliance to formally model the "right to be forgotten", a concept that confers individuals more control over their digital data. A requirement of deletion-compliance is strong privacy for the deletion requesters since no outside observer must be able to tell if deleted data was ever present in the first place. Naturally, many real world systems where information can flow across users are automatically ruled out. The main thesis of this paper is that deletion-compliance is a standalone notion, distinct from privacy. We present an alternative definition that meaningfully captures deletion-compliance without any privacy implications. This allows broader class of data collectors to demonstrate compliance to deletion requests and to be paired with various notions of privacy. Our new definition has several appealing properties: - It is implied by the stronger definition of Garg et al. under natural conditions, and is equivalent when we add a privacy requirement. - It is naturally composable with minimal assumptions. - Its requirements are met by data structure implementations that do not reveal the order of operations, a concept known as history-independence. Along the way, we discuss the many challenges that remain in providing a universal definition of compliance to the "right to be forgotten."

description: Binary driven hypernova (BdHN) models long gamma-ray burst (GRBs) as occurring in the binary systems involving a carbon-oxygen core (CO$_{\rm core}$) and a companion neutron star (NS) or a black hole (BH). This model, first proposed in 2012, succeeds and improves upon the fireshell model and the induced gravitational collapse (IGC) paradigm. After nearly a decade of development, the BdHN model has reached a nearly complete structure, explaining all the observables of long bursts into its theoretical framework, and has given a refined classification of long GRBs according to the original properties of the progenitors. In this article, we present a summary of the BdHN model and the physical processes at work in each of the envisaged Episodes during its occurrence and lifetime, duly contextualized in the framework of GRB observations.

description: Two centuries ago, Asia delivered over 60 percent of world production; in the middle of the 20th century it was less than 20 percent. Currently, it is twice as large and this share is still increasing, above all but not only, because of China whose production is still growing at a rate twice as fast as the world average. China is trying to maintain high economic dynamics, inter alia, through investment external expansion. This aim is to be served, among others, by the infrastructure project, drawn up with enormous verve, known as the New Silk Road, which the Middle Kingdom addresses to 65 countries on three continents. While some hope for accelerating their own economic growth, others warn against the risk of becoming dependent on China. The article analyzes these challenges, pointing to the desired directions of irreversible evolution globalization by giving it a more inclusive character, which is also strongly emphasized by the Chinese authorities in their official enunciations.

In spite of century-long research on them, new and often surprising bubble phenomena, features, and applications keep popping up. In this paper I sketch my personal scientific bubble journey, starting with single bubble sonoluminescence, continuing with sound emission and scattering of bubbles, cavitation, snapping shrimp, impact events, air entrainment, surface micro- and nanobubbles, and finally coming to effective force models for bubbles and dispersed bubbly two-phase flow. In particular, I also cover various applications of bubbles, namely in ultrasound diagnostics, drug and gene delivery, piezo-acoustic inkjet printing, immersion lithography, sonochemistry, electrolysis, catalysis, acoustic marine geophysical survey, and bubble drag reduction for naval vessels, and show how these applications crossed my way. I also try to show that good and interesting fundamental science and relevant applications are not a contradiction, but mutually stimulate each other in both directions.

description: Subject and purpose of work: The purpose of this article is to present the vision of ECLAC - Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean and its contribution to the reflections on economic development. Materials and methods: This is an exploratory and descriptive study. The first part of the paper contemplates the emergence and evolution of ECLAC thinking during its more than sixty-five years of existence. The second deals with dependency theory, ending with the current thinking proposed by ECLAC. Results: It results in a brief analysis of the moment of the globalization of the economy as an exclusionary process in the history of capitalism, emphasizing the importance of the ECLAC thinking, reinvigorated nowadays. Conclusions: It is considered that the dependency theory has been the great contribution of ECLAC thinking, with the change of focus from a viewpoint only from the prism of the central countries, to an optic from the point of view of the peripheral countries.

Resistivity was measured over the temperature range of 5 to 300 K. The resistivity decreased with increasing temperature from 90 ohm-cm to 0.05 ohm-cm. The field dependence of the low temperature magnetoresistance was measured. A negative magnetoresistance was observed below 17 K with a hysteresis in the magnetoresistance observed at 5 K. The magnetoresistance as a function of applied field was described by the Khosla-Fischer model for spin scattering of carriers in an impurity band.

description: We show that a coalescence equation exhibits a variety of critical behaviors, depending on the initial condition. This equation was introduced a few years ago to understand a toy model {studied by Derrida and Retaux to mimic} the depinning transition in presence of disorder. It was shown recently that this toy model exhibits the same critical behaviors as the equation studied in the present work. Here we find several families of exact solutions of this coalescence equation, in particular a family of scaling functions which are closely related to the different possible critical behaviors. These scaling functions lead to new conjectures, in particular on the shapes of the critical trees, that we have checked numerically.

description: An earlier paper presented the potentially significant discovery that disturbances in simplified simulations of a stellar disc model that was predicted to be stable in linear theory grew to large amplitude over a long period of time. The ultimate appearance of true instabilities was attributed to non-linear scattering by a succession of collective waves excited by shot noise from the finite number of particles. The paper concluded that no finite number of particles, however large, could mimic a smooth disc. As this surprising finding has been challenged as an artifact of the numerical scheme employed, we here present a new calculation of the same model using a different grid geometry that confirms the original behaviour.

description: New quantum cryptography, often called Y-00 protocol, has much higher performance than the conventional quantum cryptographies. It seems that the conventional quantum cryptographic attacks are inefficient at Y-00 protocol as its security is based on the different grounds from that of the conventional ones. We have, then, tried to cryptoanalyze Y-00 protocol in the view of cryptographic communication system. As a result, it turns out that the security of Y-00 protocol is equivalent to that of classical stream cipher.

description: Despite extensive research both on the theoretical and practical fronts, formalising, reasoning about, and implementing languages with variable binding is still a daunting endeavour - repetitive boilerplate and the overly complicated metatheory of capture-avoiding substitution often get in the way of progressing on to the actually interesting properties of a language. Existing developments offer some relief, however at the expense of inconvenient and error-prone term encodings and lack of formal foundations. We present a mathematically-inspired language-formalisation framework implemented in Agda. The system translates the description of a syntax signature with variable-binding operators into an intrinsically-encoded, inductive data type equipped with syntactic operations such as weakening and substitution, along with their correctness properties. The generated metatheory further incorporates metavariables and their associated operation of metasubstitution, which enables second-order equational/rewriting reasoning. The underlying mathematical foundation of the framework - initial algebra semantics - derives compositional interpretations of languages into their models satisfying the semantic substitution lemma by construction.

description: Random non-Hermitian Jacobi matrices $J_n$ of increasing dimension $n$ are considered. We prove that the normalized eigenvalue counting measure of $J_n$ converges weakly to a limiting measure $μ$ as $n\to\infty$. We also extend to the non-Hermitian case the Thouless formula relating $μ$ and the Lyapunov exponent of the second-order difference equation associated with the sequence $J_n$. The measure $μ$ is shown to be log-Hölder continuous.

description: We show that if the Atiyah Jones conjecture holds for a surface $X,$ then it also holds for the blow-up of $X$ at a point. Since the conjecture is known to hold for ${\mathbb P}^2$ and for ruled surfaces, it follows that the conjecture is true for all rational surfaces.

description: Optical logic has the potential to replace electronics with photonic circuits in applications for which optic-to-electronic conversion is impractical and for integrated all-optical circuits. Nonlinear optics in whispering gallery mode resonators provides low power, scalable methods to achieve optical logic. We demonstrate, for the first time, an all-optical, universal logic gate using counterpropagating light in which all signals have the same operating optical frequency. Such a device would make possible the routing of optical signals without the need for conversion into the electronic domain, thus reducing latency. The operating principle of the device is based on the Kerr interaction between counter-propagating beams in a whispering gallery mode resonator which induces a splitting between the resonance frequencies for the two propagating directions. Our gate uses a fused silica microrod resonator with a \textit{Q}-factor of $\SI{2e8}{}$. This method of optical logic gives a practical solution to the on-chip routing of light.

description: The magnetic field produced by planets with active dynamos, like the Earth, can exert sufficient pressure to oppose supersonic stellar wind plasmas, leading to the formation of a standing bow shock upstream of the magnetopause, or pressure-balance surface. Scaled laboratory experiments studying the interaction of an inflowing solar wind analog with a strong, external magnetic field are a promising new way to study magnetospheric physics and to complement existing models, although reaching regimes favorable for magnetized shock formation is experimentally challenging. This paper presents experimental evidence of the formation of a magnetized bow shock in the interaction of a supersonic, super-Alfv\'enic plasma with a strongly magnetized obstacle at the OMEGA laser facility. The solar wind analog is generated by the collision and subsequent expansion of two counter-propagating, laser-driven plasma plumes. The magnetized obstacle is a thin wire, driven with strong electrical currents. Hydrodynamic simulations using the FLASH code predict the colliding plasma source meets the criteria for bow shock formation. Spatially resolved, optical Thomson scattering measures the electron number density, and optical emission lines provide a measurement of the plasma temperature, from which we infer the presence of a fast magnetosonic shock far upstream of the obstacle. Proton images provide a measure of large-scale features in the magnetic field topology, and reconstructed path-integrated magnetic field maps from these images suggest the formation of a bow shock upstream of the wire and as a transient magnetopause. We compare features in the reconstructed fields to two-dimensional MHD simulations of the system.

Towards a Neo-Copenhagen Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The Copenhagen interpretation is critically considered. A number of ambiguities, inconsistencies and confusions are discussed. It is argued that it is possible to purge the interpretation so as to obtain a consistent and reasonable way to interpret the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics, which is in agreement with the way this theory is dealt with in experimental practice. In particular, the essential role attributed by the Copenhagen interpretation to measurement is acknowledged. For this reason it is proposed to refer to it as a neo-Copenhagen interpretation.

description: Subject and purpose of work: The purpose of the study is to analyse the structure and the relation of the Polish-Belarusian cross-border cooperation network, to identify the key nodes in the network, to analyse the dynamics of connections between the actors, and to identify the most important changes in the structure of the network. Materials and methods: The article quotes the results of analyses of cross-border projects from 2004- 2017. The analysis includes projects completed, applicants, and partners of projects. The network analysis was carried out using Ucinet and NetDraw software. Results: The structure of the Polish-Belarusian cooperation is dominated by several large nodes, on the other hand there are many micronetworks – of three or four nodes, which are connected with each other. Conclusions: The Polish-Belarusian cooperation is of great importance for the international relations of the Polish state. Projects carried out by entities located at the border strengthen the cooperation, bringing a number of measurable benefits (hard and soft), depending on nature of the projects, as well as frequency and scale of the undertaken activities.
