Globally consistent space-time reconstruction
Creators: name: South-Dickinson, Ian James
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: We present a novel algorithm for space-time reconstruction of deforming meshes. Based on partial meshes at every frame, and sparse optical flow information between frames, we reconstruct a globally consistent, crossparameterized, and hole filled sequence of meshes. Our method is based on pair-wise merging of frame sequences while correcting for changes in topology, filling in missing geometry, and repairing inconsistencies. We also introduce a robust method for filling in missing geometry in each frame of the sequence using geometry from another frame. Using this method we can propagate geometry over the full frame sequence, correcting errors and filling in holes even in regions of the object that are not observed in the input meshes for extended periods of time. Unlike other approaches, our method does not require template geometry, nor is it limited to narrow classes of objects or purely isometric deformations.

description: This article analyzes the deployment of about half a million African soldiers in Europe, where most of them fought in the French army. It first outlines the numbers and origins of African soldiers as well as the ways they were deployed in Europe. Then it explores Africans’ war experiences, their impact on colonial societies, and European perceptions of African troops, arguing that African military participation on European battlefields was a crucial experience both for Africans and Europeans. Nevertheless, the question of whether the deployment of Africans in Europe tightened or loosened colonial bonds has no simple answer.

description: We designed and implemented an interactive artistic data visualization of the 11th International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). Our visualization primarily showcases the structure of the ICD-11, showing how the different codes fall into the main disease categories (chapters) and subcategories. This is our preliminary approach in the design and study of artistic visualizations for exploring the ICD-11, as well as aid in its awareness campaign.

description: We conducted a qualitative study pilot to gather requirements for integrating health visualizations at home. We focused on finding dynamics between (1) people: who the visualizations are made for, and others who will see them; (2) visualization: what visual representations people expect for their homes; and (3) location: where people expect to find the visualizations. We describe our study methodology and the results. We found hints of concepts for consideration such as (1) privacy can be derived from visualization style, (2) visualizations can be installed at high traffic locations but data sensitivity should be considered, and (3) location of related tools at home can influence where visualizations should be located.

description: The spectral bound, s(a A + b V), of a combination of a resolvent positive linear operator A and an operator of multiplication V, was shown by Kato to be convex in b \in R. This is shown here, through an elementary lemma, to imply that s(a A + b V) is also convex in a > 0, and notably, \partial s(a A + b V) / \partial a <= s(A) when it exists. Diffusions typically have s(A) <= 0, so that for diffusions with spatially heterogeneous growth or decay rates, greater mixing reduces growth. Models of the evolution of dispersal in particular have found this result when A is a Laplacian or second-order elliptic operator, or a nonlocal diffusion operator, implying selection for reduced dispersal. These cases are shown here to be part of a single, broadly general, `reduction' phenomenon.

description: The surface of W(110) exhibits a Dirac-cone-like surface state with $d$ character within a spin-orbit-induced symmetry gap. As a function of wave vector parallel to the surface, it shows nearly massless energy dispersion and a pronounced spin polarization, which is antisymmetric with respect to the Brillouin zone center. In addition, the observed constant energy contours are strongly anisotropic for all energies. This discovery opens new pathways to the study of surface spin-density waves arising from a strong Fermi surface nesting as well as $d$-electron-based topological properties.

Towards a unified linear kinetic transport model with the trace ion module for EIRENE

Subjects: subject: Plasma Physics (physics.plasm-ph)

description: Linear kinetic Monte Carlo particle transport models are frequently employed in fusion plasma simulations to quantify atomic and surface effects on the main plasma flow dynamics. Separate codes are used for transport of neutral particles (incl. radiation) and charged particles (trace impurity ions). Integration of both modules into main plasma fluid solvers provides then self consistent solutions, in principle. The required interfaces are far from trivial, because rapid atomic processes in particular in the edge region of fusion plasmas require either smoothing and resampling, or frequent transfer of particles from one into the other Monte Carlo code. We propose a different scheme here, in which despite the inherently different mathematical form of kinetic equations for ions and neutrals (e.g. Fokker-Planck vs. Boltzmann collision integrals) both types of particle orbits can be integrated into one single code. We show that the approximations and shortcomings of this "single sourcing" concept (e.g., restriction to explicit ion drift orbit integration) can be fully tolerable in a wide range of typical fusion edge plasma conditions, and be overcompensated by the code-system simplicity, as well as by inherently ensured consistency in geometry (one single numerical grid only) and (the common) atomic and surface process modules

Variants of the Consecutive-Ones Property motivated by the reconstruction of ancestral species
Creators: name: Patterson, Murray
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The polynomial-time decidable Consecutive-Ones Property (C1P) of binary matrices, formally introduced in 1965 by Fulkerson and Gross, has since found applications in many areas. In this thesis, we propose and study several variants of this property that are motivated by the reconstruction of ancestral species. We first propose the Gapped C1P, or the (k,delta)-C1P: a binary matrix M has the (k,delta)-C1P for integers k and delta if the columns of M can be permuted such that each row contains at most k blocks of 1's and no two neighboring blocks of 1's are separated by a gap of more than delta 0's. The C1P is equivalent to the (1,0)-C1P. We show that for every bounded and unbounded k ≥ 2, delta ≥ 1, (k,delta)≠ (2,1), deciding the (k,delta)-C1P is NP-complete [Golberg et al., 1995]. We also provide an algorithm for a relevant case of the (2,1)-C1P. We then study the (k,delta)-C1P with a bound d on the maximum number of 1's in any row (the maximum degree) of M. We show that the (d,k,delta)-C1P is polynomial-time decidable when all three parameters are fixed constants. Since fixing d also fixes k (k ≤ d), the only case left to consider is the (d,k,infinity)-C1P (when delta is unbounded). We show that for every d > k ≥ 2, deciding the (d,k,infinity)-C1P is NP-complete. We also study the C1P with Multiplicity (mC1P), introduced by Wittler and Stoye [2010]: a binary matrix M on columns S = {1,..,n} has the mC1P for multiplicity vector m:S→ ℕ if there is a sequence sigma on S such that (i) sigma contains each s ∈ S at most m(s) times, and (ii) for each row r of M, the set of columns that have entry 1 in r form at least one subsequence of sigma. We show that deciding the mC1P, and two restricted variants thereof, are NP-complete, for M having maximum degree 3 (6 for one of the variants), and for m(s) ≤ 2 for all s ∈ S. We also give a tractability result for the mC1P that is motivated by handling telomeres in the reconstruction of ancestral species. Finally, we study the Generalized Cladistic Character Compatibility (GCCC) Problem, a generalization of the Perfect Phylogeny Problem [Semple and Steel, 2003] introduced by Benham et al. [1995]. We use the structure of the PQ-tree [Booth and Leuker, 1976] associated with the C1P to give algorithms for several cases of the GCCC Problem.
Quantifying distortions of the Lagrangian dark-matter mesh in cosmology

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We examine the Lagrangian divergence of the displacement field, arguably a more natural object than the density in a Lagrangian description of cosmological large-scale structure. This quantity, which we denote ψ, quantifies the stretching and distortion of the initially homogeneous lattice of dark-matter particles in the universe. ψ encodes similar information as the density, but the correspondence has subtleties. It corresponds better to the log-density A than the overdensity δ. A Gaussian distribution in ψ produces a distribution in A with slight skewness; in δ, we find that in many cases the skewness is further increased by 3. A local spherical-collapse-based (SC) fit found by Bernardeau gives a formula for ψ's particle-by-particle behavior that works quite well, better than applying Lagrangian perturbation theory (LPT) at first or second (2LPT) order. In 2LPT, there is a roughly parabolic relation between initial and final ψ that can give overdensities in deep voids, so low-redshift, high-resolution 2LPT realizations should be used with caution. The SC fit excels at predicting ψ until streams cross; then, for particles forming haloes, ψ plummets as in a waterfall to -3. This gives a new method for producing N-particle realizations. Compared to LPT realizations, such SC realizations give reduced stream-crossing, and better visual and 1-point-PDF correspondence to the results of full gravity. LPT, on the other hand, predicts large-scale flows and the large-scale power-spectrum amplitude better, unless an empirical correction is added to the SC formula.

How to Resolve Sovereign Debt Crises in the Twenty-First Century

Year: 2011
Subjects: Economics
Finance

description: A piece of the international financial architecture is missing, one that would facilitate more effective, fair and timely sovereign debt workouts than the ad hoc, inconsistent and sometimes highly political processes that are applied today. While a newly created mechanism should be available to any sovereign government, including in Europe, special concerns have been voiced, as in the convoking of this conference, for improving debt workouts in low and middle-income countries, where crisis-related declines in living standards that are part and parcel of sovereign debt crises are hardest to bear.  This paper argues that launching an initiative at this time would be opportune. The ensuing discussion first suggests that while the developing country debt situation is no longer making headlines, it is a good time to consider creating a mechanism for use when the situation becomes less benign. It then reviews the existing mechanisms for sovereign debt workouts and the limited contributions made (and feasible) from voluntary codes of good conduct, and thus why it is appropriate to think about creation of a new mechanism. It goes on to describe the characteristics that an appropriate sovereign debt workout mechanism should have. It should be a single mechanism, available to all countries, albeit with different configurations of creditors engaging in workouts for lowest-income than for other countries. The paper concludes by arguing that there are not only economic systemic and fairness reasons, but also political ones, for launching a new debt policy initiative now.

description: Though largely understudied to date, the regions in the western Balkans inhabited by Albanian speakers were afflicted by World War I in distinctive ways. The parceling out of former Ottoman lands to satiate the needs of neighboring political and economic elite introduced a unique set of consequences for Albanian-speakers. The battles between armies and the residual horrors accompanying war—famine and forced migration—became the reality of the 20th century for most Albanians who were exposed to a violence that ripped apart the largely peasant population. The resulting chaos invariably transformed the region into a contested area inhabited by a politically scattered population whose future would be increasingly decided by the outsiders charged with occupying Albanian lands between 1912 and 1920. These occupations often required considerable collaboration with selected local intermediaries, some of whom became the dominant political actors in Albanian lands for much of the 20th century.

subject: Education--Sciences

description: Future quantum networks will enable fascinating applications such as secure communication, quantum-enhanced distributed sensing, distributed quantum computing, and accurate global timekeeping. Center to these applications is quantum entanglement distribution, whose effective distance is limited by photon loss. Quantum repeaters were proposed to extend the effective distance, but their demonstration has not been reported yet. In this thesis, we study quantum repeaters with both single-emitter based and ensemble-based quantum memories. In particular, we study the feasibility of meaningful proof-of-principle demonstrations of several quantum repeater protocols (with two-links) with photon (single-photon and photon-pair) sources and atomic-ensemble based quantum memories. We take into account non-unit memory efficiencies that decay exponentially with time, which is more realistic and accurate compared to previous treatments. We discuss implementations based on quantum dots, parametric down-conversion, rare-earth-ion doped crystals, and Rydberg atoms. Our results provide guidance for the near-term implementation of long-distance quantum repeater demonstrations, suggesting that such demonstrations are within reach of current technology.

Redesigning instructional tools for novice makers
Creators: name: Stark, Jessica Theresa
Publisher: name: Science
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Computer Science

description: People new to Making often struggle when instructional materials, such as written documentation or video tutorials, do not address certain difficulties they encounter. This thesis explores two examples of instructional materials for novice makers which have been redesigned to help them overcome these difficulties. The first example focuses on written documentation, often created by Makers who document their own projects, providing instructions based on tools and materials the author has which may not be available to the reader. To address this, I present MakeAware, a system designed to support situation awareness and help users make decisions about which tools and materials they can use to accomplish a task. For example, if the documentation instructs the maker to attach two pieces of the project together using screws and a screwdriver but the maker does not have these, MakeAware can help them improvise by guiding them to use a hammer and nails. The second example focuses on video tutorials which are often filmed from a single camera and cannot always capture the necessary information to understand the task. To address this, I designed a multi-camera playback interface that allows viewers to change angles during the tutorial, circumventing the visibility problems that can occur from providing only one angle. For example, in a tutorial about assembling a laser-cut lantern, the instructor’s hands often cover the fasteners between the pieces so the viewer cannot see how the attachment is made. By selecting an angle that shows the fasteners in the foreground instead of the hands when needed, the viewer may be able to better understand the process. I evaluated these interfaces in separate user studies with novice makers as participants. The first study showed that the documentation style of MakeAware helped novice makers customize the instructions to their needs. The second study showed that a video interface providing flexible perspectives could be helpful in avoiding visibility problems while highlighting that this approach may be suited to non-repetitive or asymmetrical tasks. The results of both studies provide design implications that can help us accommodate the needs of novice makers through written documentation and video tutorials.

description: In this article we prove that the Klein-Gordon equation in the de Sitter spacetime obeys the Huygens' principle only if the physical mass $m$ of the scalar field and the dimension $n\geq 2$ of the spatial variable are tied by the equation $m^2=(n^2-1)/4 $. Moreover, we define the incomplete Huygens' principle, which is the Huygens' principle restricted to the vanishing second initial datum, and then reveal that the massless scalar field in the de Sitter spacetime obeys the incomplete Huygens' principle and does not obey the Huygens' principle, for the dimensions $n=1,3$, only. Thus, in the de Sitter spacetime the existence of two different scalar fields (in fact, with m=0 and $m^2=(n^2-1)/4 $), which obey incomplete Huygens' principle, is equivalent to the condition $n=3$ (in fact, the spatial dimension of the physical world). For $n=3$ these two values of the mass are the endpoints of the so-called in quantum field theory the Higuchi bound. The value $m^2=(n^2-1)/4 $ of the physical mass allows us also to obtain complete asymptotic expansion of the solution for the large time.

The FESEM results verify the production of different structures of TiO2. Samples treated at lower and higher temperature display cylindrical and cuboid morphologies respectively. UV/Vis was employed to determine the band gap of produced products. Samples treated at lower temperature display direct band gap unlike the sample treated at higher temperature displaying similar characteristic as P25. The results indicate that manipulating the structure of Degussa P25 via alkaline hydrothermal treatment may alter the photocatalytic activities of TiO2.

Composites of resonant dielectric rods: A test of their behavior as metamaterial refractive elements

description: We report numerical experiments of optical wave propagation in composites of high refractive index dielectric rods at frequencies where their first electric and magnetic Mie resonances are excited. The arrays of these particles have been extensively studied and proposed as non-absorbing and isotropic metamaterials. We show that negative refraction, observed in ordered particle arrays, is due to diffraction and that an effective medium theory yields constitutive parameters that do not reproduce the observations in these composites, whose transmission also depends on the sample shape. This is further confirmed by disordering the arrays, a case in which large transmission losses appear due to extinction by resonant scattering from the particles. Therefore, these composites although little absorbing have large extinction due to scattering.
The Impact of a Fruit and Vegetable Farmers' Market Voucher Prescription Program on a Low-Income Rural Population
Creators: name: Richie, Kevin Anthony
Publisher: name: University of Kentucky Libraries
Year: 2019

description: Abstract:
Objective: Measures the impact of the Farmers’ Market Voucher program on weight, body mass index, waist circumference, during the 2016 summer on a rural, low-income population residing in Appalachian Kentucky.
Background: Rural communities often have limited access to fresh fruits and vegetables (FV) which contributes to low levels of consumption. FV are calorie poor, nutrient dense and are inversely associated with inflammation markers, obesity, hypertension, and high blood glucose levels. Appalachian rural communities have a higher prevalence of obesity, diabetes, strokes, and death by heart attack when compared to the U.S. Farmers’ markets
Methods: Pre-experimental intervention design examining FV consumption and variety. T-test used measuring biochemical outcomes, pre and post, participation, and voucher amount.
Results: Medical clinic patients (n=308) and household members (n=89) participated in study. Patients had a decrease in blood glucose and waist circumference (p=0.0231, p=0.0014 respectively). Patients had greater blood glucose reductions when compared to household members (p  0.001). Patients reported consuming more FV with greater variety.
Conclusion: The Farmers’ Market Voucher program successfully increased FV consumption and had a positive effect on blood glucose and waist circumference. Future studies should examine cooking methods of this population.

description: Este ensayo revisa el proceso de reforma financiera y monetaria internacional desde la crisis asiática hasta comienzos de 2010 a la luz de los objetivos básicos que debe cumplir la arquitectura financiera internacional. Estos objetivos son fundamentalmente cinco: (i) regular los mercados financieros y de capitales de todos los países, así como de las transacciones financieras transfronterizas, para evitar la acumulación excesiva de riesgos, que ha llevado a crisis frecuentes y costosas, tanto en países en desarrollo como desarrollados; (ii) ofrecer financiamiento de emergencia durante las crisis, especialmente con propósitos de liquidez, como complemento de las funciones de los bancos centrales como prestamistas de última instancia a nivel nacional; (iii) proporcionar mecanismos adecuados a nivel internacional para manejar los problemas de sobreendeudamiento; (iv) garantizar la consistencia de las políticas macroeconómicas nacionales con la estabilidad del sistema económico mundial, y evitar los efectos adversos de las políticas macroeconómicas de unos países sobre otros; y (v) garantizar un sistema monetario internacional que contribuya a la estabilidad de la economía internacional y sea visualizado como equitativo por todas las partes. El Consenso de Monterrey, aprobado por la Cumbre de las Naciones Unidas sobre Financiación para el Desarrollo, realizada en 2002, constituye tal vez la mejor aproximación a la definición de estos objetivos, aunque no incluye algunos de ellos (en particular, el último).

Global Governance for Financial Stability and Development
Creators: name: Griffith-Jones, Stephany
name: Ocampo, Jose A.
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2011
Subjects: Finance
International relations

description: This paper analyzes the central issues of global governance to guarantee a development-friendly international financial architecture. It is divided in five sections. The first analyzes the effects of capital account volatility and proposes that a development-friendly architecture should have a strong counter-cyclical focus. The second section examines crisis prevention, particularly the role of prudential and capital account regulations. Section III looks at better management of crises: IMF lending facilities, debates surrounding conditionality, and debt workouts. Section IV examines the reform of the Global Reserve System. Throughout the paper, we discuss ongoing reform efforts and point out the areas where far deeper reforms in the international financial architecture are needed.

description: This article examines the changing dynamics of national tensions in the Habsburg, Romanov, and Ottoman empires during three distinct phases of the Great War. The outbreak and early months of the war witnessed a rise in Imperial patriotism. Imperial competition coupled with a concerted effort to mobilise ethnicity for the war effort resulted in a marked increase in ethnic tensions between the spring of 1915 and the February Revolution in 1917. Finally, imperial collapse caused by political revolution and/or military defeat led to the emergence of independent nation-states and the ostensible triumph of the principle of national self-determination.

Alternative Paths Towards the Age of Mercantilism: Revisiting the 17th Century's Economic Crisis
Creators: name: Grenet, Mathieu
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2011
Subjects: Economic history

description: Completely new subject for me, as I wrote my PhD on the Greek communities on Venice, Livorno and Marseilles, 1770-1830s. While doing this research, I came across different series of documents which I was only able to use marginally within the framework of my dissertation: these included police records, court records, commercial papers and notarial archives involving foreigners in Livorno, Venice and Marseilles from the 17th to the early 19th century.
Perspectives on the Governance of Global Financial Regulation
Creators: name: Griffith-Jones, Stephany
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2009
Subjects: Finance
International relations

description: Following the 2008 world financial crisis, and the G-20's reaction to it, significant reforms have taken place in 2009 to include members from developing countries for the first time in regulatory financial bodies. In the following sections the paper will first examine these reforms and suggest further improvements that would not only improve governance but also make regulation more effectively support global and national financial stability. The paper also makes suggestions for a possible role for Commonwealth countries and the secretariat in improving the global regulatory system and supporting each other. The paper will then examine broad principles for regulatory reform and discuss how global regulation could be strengthened, including through the possible creation of a global regulator.

International financial architecture seen through the lense of economic crisis: achievements and numerous challenges

Subjects: Finance

description: This paper looks at the process of international financial and monetary reform from the moment of the crisis in Asia until the start of 2010 in terms of the basic objectives which international financial architecture should meet. Those objectives are essentially the following: (i) to regulate the financial and capital markets in all countries, as well as crossborder transactions, in order to avoid the excessive risk accumulation which has caused frequent, costly crises, both in developing as well as in developed countries; (ii) to offer emergency financing during crises, especially to ensure liquidity, complementing the functions of the central banks which act as lenders of last resort at a national level; (iii) to provide adequate mechanisms at an international level to manage problems of excessive leverage; to guarantee the consistency of national economic policies with the stability of the world economy system, and to avoid the macroeconomic policies of some countries having adverse effects on others; and (v) to guarantee an international monetary system which contributes to the stability of the international economy and is seen as fair by all parties. The Monterrey Consensus, approved by the United Nations International Conference on Financing for Development, which took place in 2002, might come closest to the definition of those goals although it does not include any of them explicitly (especially not the last one).
Exact Static Cylindrical Solution to Conformal Weyl Gravity

description: We present the exact exterior solution for a static and neutral cylindrically symmetric source in locally conformal invariant Weyl gravity. As a special case the general relativity analogue still can be attained, however only as a sub-family of solutions. Our solution contains a linear term that would thus result in a potential that grows linearly over large distances. This may have implications for exotic astrophysical structures as well as matter fields on the extremely small scale.

Supporting a process-oriented model in MPI through fine-grain mapping
Creators: name: Brown, Cody Ryan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: The need for intuitive parallel programming designs has grown with the rise of modern many-core processors. Process-oriented models promote high scalability by using small isolated components that interact to produce complex applications. Such models are intuitive by forcing scalability to be a design requirement. The popular MPI messaging library has not exploited fine-grain models due to its coarse-grain implementations. The binding of processes often uses a coarse-grain management system, which is done by sequentially assigning ranks to a list of machines. This may be suitable for coarse-grain applications, but inadequate for fine-grain applications with large process grouping demands; a more flexible, manageable and scalability specification is necessary to support a process-oriented model. The use of FG-MPI exposes additional concurrency through a new layer of mapping by providing smaller units of parallelism: a desirable feature in function-level programming. This collocation layer requires a fine-grain mapping mechanism to optimize communication. A graph specification is proposed that allows communication patterns, collocation of MPI processes, and binding optimizations to be extracted from such a structure. The work presented extends and evaluates MPI to a fine-grain process-oriented model and provides a graphical mapping and binding specification. Evaluation of function-level applications is done through Pilot, a CSP-like library for MPI. The smallest unit of parallelism in this architecture is evaluated and shows that small communication overheads occur when comparing hundreds of large tasks to hundreds of thousands of fine-grain tasks. The graph representation is based on Kahn Process Networks. This provides a simplistic and intuitive model to represent and organize large function-level applications. A tool is developed that reads in a graph structure and performs operations such as auto-constructing wiring diagram code, determining optimal collocated maps based on communication, and producing a binding specification. This tool is modular and extensible to other graph related operations.

description: This article charts the contours of the Great War as an American religious experience, focusing on the ways in which the study of religion and the Great War in America forces an examination of what is meant by “religion.” American clergy and American soldiers, through their rhetoric and their actions, forged and practiced a type of religion that fused war’s physical experiences with metaphysical meanings, and joined the national to the divine. This religion flourished in the interwar period and continues to shape so-called civil religious discourse and practice to this day.

Controlling the pair momentum of the FFLO state in a 3D Fermi gas through a 1D periodic potential

description: The question whether a spin-imbalanced Fermi gas can accommodate the Fulde-Ferrell-Larkin-Ovchinnikov (FFLO) state has been the subject of intense study. This state, in which Cooper pairs obtain a nonzero momentum, has hitherto eluded experimental observation. Recently, we demonstrated that the FFLO state can be stabilized in a 3D Fermi gas, by adding a 1D periodic potential. Until now it was assumed that the FFLO wave vector always lies parallel to this periodic potential (FFLO-P). In this contribution we show that, surprisingly, the FFLO wave vector can also lie skewed with respect to the potential (FFLO-S). Starting from the partition sum, the saddle-point free energy of the system is derived within the path-integral formalism. Minimizing this free energy allows us to study the different competing ground states of the system. To qualitatively understand the underlying pairing mechanism, we visualize the Fermi surfaces of the spin up and spin down particles. From this visualization, we find that tilting the FFLO wave vector with respect to the direction of the periodic potential, can result in a larger overlap between the pairing bands of both spin species. This skewed FFLO state can provide an additional experimental signature for observing FFLO superfluidity in a 3D Fermi gas.
