description: 1. Whether in peace or war, uncertainty is a part of life and the Duke of Wellington’s comment is as relevant today as during the Napoleonic era. Today, with rapid technological and social developments, military forces must not only ‘live’ but also ‘thrive’ in a state of rapid, continuous change, bordering on chaos. It is widely believed that the world is undergoing a ‘revolutionary’ period of change as it transits from the ‘Industrial Age’, with the focus on machines, to the ‘Information Age’, with the focus on knowledge.[1] Like the transition from the Agrarian Age to the ‘Industrial Age’, this will have a significant effect on the future of military organisations. 2. In this context, the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) needs to learn to thrive in this new paradigm of highly complex uncertainty. Manoeuvre warfare has been identified by many modern armed forces to be very appropriate in dealing with the chaotic nature of future warfare. However, like most armed forces, the SAF does not often get to practice manoeuvre warfare in peacetime and only gets to train its people hard on it. Instead of being insular and resting on its laurels, it should look to other disciplines and organisation that may be using manoeuvre warfare concepts to learn the ‘best practices’ in managing and overcoming the problems of complex uncertainty. 3. It is the argument of this essay that the SAF can learn much from commercial practitioners of manoeuvre warfare. Business firms constantly engage in commercial warfighting operations daily and many successful companies practice manoeuvre warfare, either consciously or unconsciously, to winning effect to stay ahead of the competition. 4. The essay will briefly highlight the core approaches of manoeuvre warfare and show why manoeuvre warfare is highly appropriate to modern, non-linear warfare. It will then explore why the SAF needs to learn from other non-military practitioners of manoeuvre warfare, especially in the business world, and examine how some successful companies have effectively implemented some of these concepts. It will conclude that by synthesising the lessons of the business world with the realities of the modern battlefield, the SAF will be able to fight above its weight by targeting potential adversaries’ centres of gravity and dislocate them by shattering their will to fight.

description: We present a comprehensive table of recurrence and differential relations obeyed by spin one-half spherical spinors (spinor spherical harmonics) $Ω_{κμ}(\mathbf{n})$ used in relativistic atomic, molecular, and solid state physics, as well as in relativistic quantum chemistry. First, we list finite expansions in the spherical spinor basis of the expressions $\mathbf{A}\cdot\mathbf{B}\,Ω_{κμ}(\mathbf{n})$ and {$\mathbf{A}\cdot(\mathbf{B}\times\mathbf{C})\, Ω_{κμ}(\mathbf{n})$}, where $\mathbf{A}$, $\mathbf{B}$, and $\mathbf{C}$ are either of the following vectors or vector operators: $\mathbf{n}=\mathbf{r}/r$ (the radial unit vector), $\mathbf{e}_{0}$, $\mathbf{e}_{\pm1}$ (the spherical, or cyclic, versors), $\boldsymbolσ$ (the $2\times2$ Pauli matrix vector), $\hat{\mathbf{L}}=-i\mathbf{r}\times\boldsymbol{\nabla}I$ (the dimensionless orbital angular momentum operator; $I$ is the $2\times2$ unit matrix), $\hat{\mathbf{J}}=\hat{\mathbf{L}}+1/2\boldsymbolσ$ (the dimensionless total angular momentum operator). Then, we list finite expansions in the spherical spinor basis of the expressions $\mathbf{A}\cdot\mathbf{B}\,F(r)Ω_{κμ}(\mathbf{n})$ and $\mathbf{A}\cdot(\mathbf{B}\times\mathbf{C})\, F(r)Ω_{κμ}(\mathbf{n})$, where at least one of the objects $\mathbf{A}$, $\mathbf{B}$, $\mathbf{C}$ is the nabla operator $\boldsymbol{\nabla}$, while the remaining ones are chosen from the set $\mathbf{n}$, $\mathbf{e}_{0}$, $\mathbf{e}_{\pm1}$, $\boldsymbolσ$, $\hat{\mathbf{L}}$, $\hat{\mathbf{J}}$.

description: The detection of terrestrial planets by radial velocity and photometry is hindered by the presence of stellar signals. Those are often modeled as stationary Gaussian processes, whose kernels are based on qualitative considerations, which do not fully leverage the existing physical understanding of stars. Our aim is to build a formalism which allows to transfer the knowledge of stellar activity into practical data analysis methods. In particular, we aim at obtaining kernels with physical parameters. This has two purposes: better modelling signals of stellar origin to find smaller exoplanets, and extracting information about the star from the statistical properties of the data. We consider several observational channels such as photometry, radial velocity, activity indicators, and build a model called FENRIR to represent their stochastic variations due to stellar surface inhomogeneities. We compute analytically the covariance of this multi-channel stochastic process, and implement it in the S+LEAF framework to reduce the cost of likelihood evaluations from $O(N^3)$ to $O(N)$. We also compute analytically higher order cumulants of our FENRIR model, which quantify its non-Gaussianity. We obtain a fast Gaussian process framework with physical parameters, which we apply to the HARPS-N and SORCE observations of the Sun, and constrain a solar inclination compatible with the viewing geometry. We then discuss the application of our formalism to granulation. We exhibit non-Gaussianity in solar HARPS radial velocities, and argue that information is lost when stellar activity signals are assumed to be Gaussian. We finally discuss the origin of phase shifts between RVs and indicators, and how to build relevant activity indicators. We provide an open-source implementation of the FENRIR Gaussian process model with a Python interface.

description: We report calculations of Born-Oppenheimer potential energy curves of the chromium-rubidium heteronuclear molecule 52Cr-87Rb, and the long-range dispersion coefficient for the interaction between ground state Cr and Rb atoms. Our calculated van der Waals coefficient (C6=1770 a.u.) has an expected error of 3%. The ground state 6Sigma+ molecule at its equilibrium separation has a permanent electric dipole moment of de (Re=3.34 A) = 2.90 D. We investigate the hyperfine and dipolar collisions between trapped Cr and Rb atoms, finding elastic to inelastic cross section ratio of 100-1000.

description: Non-equilibrium structure formation and conversion of spinning to translational motion of magnetic colloids driven by an external rotating magnetic field in microchannels is studied by particle-based mesoscale hydrodynamics simulations. For straight channels, laning is found. In ring channels, the channel curvature breaks symmetry and leads to a net fluid transport around the annulus with the same rotational direction as the colloidal spinning direction. The dependence of the translational velocity on channel width, ring radius, colloid concentration, and thermal motion is predicted.

description: The advancement of technology in human life has resulted in multiple forms of contamination in the atmosphere, which has thrown off the environment's balance and proportionality. Today, one of the most critical issues in environmental economics is the role of information and communication technology (ICT) in reducing air pollution, which has impacted various aspects of human life in recent years. Environmental research and its application to lawmakers and the general public can benefit from the use of information and communication technology. The use of ICT can reduce dependence on environmental resources in order to decrease the environmental pollution due to the Improper usage of natural resources. Applications of the ICT systems in the environmental protection is presented in the study to improve the quality level of monitoring and protections systems of the environment from the pollutions. The effects of ICT systems in the climate change, forest Degradation, hurricanes and typhoons anticipations, smart waste management systems, energy supply efficiency and tourism industry in terms of environmental protection systems is discussed in the study to suggest new ideas in the research filed. As a result, the research filed can be moved forward.

description: We present far-infrared spectroscopic observations, taken with the Photodetector Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS) on the Herschel Space Observatory, of the protoplanetary disk around the pre-main-sequence star HD 100546. These observations are the first within the DIGIT Herschel key program, which aims to follow the evolution of dust, ice, and gas from young stellar objects still embedded in their parental molecular cloud core, through the final pre-main-sequence phases when the circumstellar disks are dissipated. Our aim is to improve the constraints on temperature and chemical composition of the crystalline olivines in the disk of HD 100546 and to give an inventory of the gas lines present in its far-infrared spectrum. The 69 μ\m feature is analyzed in terms of position and shape to derive the dust temperature and composition. Furthermore, we detected 32 emission lines from five gaseous species and measured their line fluxes. The 69 μ\m emission comes either from dust grains with ~70 K at radii larger than 50 AU, as suggested by blackbody fitting, or it arises from ~200 K dust at ~13 AU, close to the midplane, as supported by radiative transfer models. We also conclude that the forsterite crystals have few defects and contain at most a few percent iron by mass. Forbidden line emission from [CII] at 157 μ\m and [OI] at 63 and 145 μ\m, most likely due to photodissociation by stellar photons, is detected. Furthermore, five H2O and several OH lines are detected. We also found high-J rotational transition lines of CO, with rotational temperatures of ~300 K for the transitions up to J=22-21 and T~800 K for higher transitions.

Identities of Arab Muslim graduate students : spaces, discourses, and practices at a Canadian university
Creators: name: Qutub, Bayan Naif
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: Arab Muslim graduate students in Canadian universities continue to grow in large numbers; however, this group of students face several challenges related to their cultural and religious identity. This phenomenological study examines the lived experiences of 10 Arab Muslim graduate students at the University of British Columbia (UBC), Canada. Particularly, in this research I sought to understand how these students describe their cultural and religious identity and how they experience their cultural and religious identity construction within the context of the university, including its spaces, discourses, and practices. Two main questions concern the study: 1. What are the individual perceptions of Arab Muslim graduate students on the construction of their cultural and religious identity within UBC? 2. How do Arab Muslim graduate students perceive the university’s spaces, discourses, and practices in (de)constructing their cultural and religious identities? Findings show that these students face several challenges on-campus. Arab Muslim graduate students face academic challenges in adopting to the Canadian learning environment. All female students reported facing discriminative remarks related to their cultural and religious identity sometime during their stay in Canada. In addition, students with families were limited in their participation at the non-academic activities in UBC. Furthermore, Arab Muslim graduate students understand their cultural identities in relation to religion, nationality, and culture. However, some had essentialist views while others had constructivist views. Despite the differences, students expressed similar needs for religious and cultural integration on-campus. Students also revealed that the university’s policies, dialogues, and personnel advocate diversity and student empowerment at the individual level. However, there is a need for the university to empower and support Arab Muslim students as a group. The Muslim Students Association (MSA) as well as students’ clubs play a role in integrating the religious and cultural identities for some Arab Muslim Graduate students. Finally, the study recommends that the university should offer “small acts of kindness” including providing distributed prayer places on campus, providing a cultural Islamic center, including Muslim students among the diversity initiatives, and raising awareness on-campus about Islamophobia to make the campus a safe and inclusive space for all minority students.

description: We present a new numerical scheme for solving the advection equation and its application to Vlasov simulations. The scheme treats not only point values of a profile but also its zeroth to second order piecewise moments as dependent variables, for better conservation of the information entropy. We have developed one- and two-dimensional schemes and show that they provide quite accurate solutions within reasonable usage of computational resources compared to other existing schemes. The two-dimensional scheme can accurately solve the solid body rotation problem of a gaussian profile for more than hundred rotation periods with little numerical diffusion. This is crucially important for Vlasov simulations of magnetized plasmas. Applications of the one- and two-dimensional schemes to electrostatic and electromagnetic Vlasov simulations are presented with some benchmark tests.

description: Febrile illnesses are common in travellers returning from south-east Asia. However, malaria is a rare diagnosis in this population. A series of Plasmodium knowlesi infections was noted in German travellers returning from Thailand since 2012. Infectious disease and tropical medicine facilities registered by the German Society for Tropical Medicine and International Health were contacted in March 2017, and asked to report previous P. knowlesi cases. In addition, surveillance data from the Robert Koch-Institute were analysed. The facilities reported a total of six P. knowlesi-positive cases, all were returning travellers from Thailand. The P. knowlesi-positive cases made up 6/9 of all diagnosed malaria cases imported from Thailand in the time period 2012 to 2017. In 4/5 of cases where a malaria rapid diagnostic test had been applied it revealed a negative result. P. knowlesi is an important differential diagnosis in travellers returning from south-east Asia with itineraries that include Thailand. This study highlights the importance of this Plasmodium species in this patient subgroup. Whenever malaria is suspected in a returning traveller from Thailand, P. knowlesi should be taken into consideration and a differential PCR be executed as currently the unequivocal diagnosis of P. knowlesi is based on nuclear amplification techniques.
The Estimation Risk in Extreme Systemic Risk Forecasts

description: Systemic risk measures have been shown to be predictive of financial crises and declines in real activity. Thus, forecasting them is of major importance in finance and economics. In this paper, we propose a new forecasting method for systemic risk as measured by the marginal expected shortfall (MES). It is based on first de-volatilizing the observations and, then, calculating systemic risk for the residuals using an estimator based on extreme value theory. We show the validity of the method by establishing the asymptotic normality of the MES forecasts. The good finite-sample coverage of the implied MES forecast intervals is confirmed in simulations. An empirical application to major US banks illustrates the significant time variation in the precision of MES forecasts, and explores the implications of this fact from a regulatory perspective.

description: Cloud providers, like Amazon, offer their data centers' computational and storage capacities for lease to paying customers. High electricity consumption, associated with running a data center, not only reflects on its carbon footprint, but also increases the costs of running the data center itself. This paper addresses the problem of maximizing the revenues of Cloud providers by trimming down their electricity costs. As a solution allocation policies which are based on the dynamic powering servers on and off are introduced and evaluated. The policies aim at satisfying the conflicting goals of maximizing the users' experience while minimizing the amount of consumed electricity. The results of numerical experiments and simulations are described, showing that the proposed scheme performs well under different traffic conditions.

description: Este trabalho estuda e analisa a perceção de sons consonânticos oclusivos do Português Europeu por aprendentes chineses, com diferentes níveis de proficiência, B1 e C1. Com base em trabalhos como os de Flege (1995) e Best (1995) e nos modelos por eles desenvolvidos, procura-se encontrar resposta que nos permita, enquanto professores de português língua estrangeira, entender melhor as dificuldades manifestadas pelos aprendentes e perceber que fatores poderão estar subjacentes a essas dificuldades. Numa primeira observação de resultados percebe-se que o par [k / g] é o que mais dificuldades causa, em termos de identificação e discriminação. Outro aspeto que sobressai é a ideia de que a língua materna influencia a perceção de sons consonânticos oclusivos, enquanto a experiência de aprendizagem em imersão, e o tempo de estudo não parecem influenciar, significativamente, a percepção das consoantes oclusivas do PE por aprendentes chineses.

description: In this paper we report a new PNP Surface Accumulation Layer Transistor (SALTran) on SOI which uses the concept of surface accumulation of holes near the emitter contact to significantly improve the current gain. Using two-dimensional simulation, we have evaluated the performance of the proposed device in detail by comparing its characteristics with those of the previously published conventional PNP lateral bipolar transistor (LBT) structure. From our simulation results it is observed that depending on the choice of the emitter doping and the emitter length, the proposed SALTran exhibits a current gain enhancement of around 20 times that of the compatible lateral bipolar transistor without deteriorating the cut-off frequency. We have discussed the reasons for the improved performance of the SALTran based on our detailed simulation results.

Electron-Quasihole Duality and Second Order Differential Equation for Read-Rezayi and Jacks Wavefunctions

description: We consider the quasihole wavefunctions of the non-abelian Read-Rezayi quantum Hall states which are given by the conformal blocks of the minimal model WA_{k-1}(k+1,k+2) of the WA_{k-1} algebra. By studying the degenerate representations of this conformal field theories, we derive a second order differential equation satisfied by a general many-quasihole wavefunction. We find a duality between the differential equations fixing the electron and quasihole wavefunctions. They both satisfy the Laplace-Beltrami equation. We use this equation to obtain an analytic expression for the generic wavefunction with one excess flux. These results also apply to the more general models WA_{k-1}(k+1,k+r) corresponding to the recently introduced Jack states.
The emergence of the physical world from information processing

description: This paper links the conjecture that the physical world is a virtual reality to the findings of modern physics. What is usually the subject of science fiction is here proposed as a scientific theory open to empirical evaluation. We know from physics how the world behaves, and from computing how information behaves, so whether the physical world arises from ongoing information processing is a question science can evaluate. A prima facie case for the virtual reality conjecture is presented. If a photon is a pixel on a multi-dimensional grid that gives rise to space, the speed of light could reflect its refresh rate. If mass, charge and energy all arise from processing, the many conservation laws of physics could reduce to a single law of dynamic information conservation. If the universe is a virtual reality, then its big bang creation could be simply when the system was booted up. Deriving core physics from information processing could reconcile relativity and quantum theory, with the former how processing creates the space-time operating system and the latter how it creates energy and matter applications.
Herpetofaunal distributions in Gogebic County, Michigan

description: This project sought to provide valuable data for the Michigan Herp Atlas by conducting wide and intensive surveys of 140 sites in Gogebic County. Surveys with pitfalls and drift fences, visual searches of 25 m x 25 m plots, incidental captures, and visual open water surveys for turtles were implemented to maximize species observation. Nineteen species of herpetofauna were captured, totaling 3048 adults, tadpoles, and larvae. Uncommon captures included a state species of concern, the wood turtle (Clemmys insculpta; two individuals), and several other patchily­distributed species (e.g., four­toed salamander [Hemidactylum scutatum; 1 individual], smooth green snake [Opheodrys vernalis; 1 individual]). Based on habitat assessments of capture sites and literature reviews, species distribution maps were created to predict presence throughout the county. Statistical analyses indicated that the species did not stray from their acknowledged microhabitat preferences, but that larger­scale landscape patterns were not influential. Although some were rarely captured, no single species appeared to be at risk of extirpation in Gogebic County (based on available habitat). Additionally, a county­wide landuse GIS layer was created, which may prove valuable to future studies in the region.
Comments on Galileons

description: The recent progress in the study of Galileons, i.e. equations of second order with an action invariant under a Galilean transformation is related to work on `Universal Field Equations' \cite{dbfgov} which are second order equations arising by an iterative procedure from arbitrary Lagrangians of weight one in their first derivatives. It is pointed out that the Galileon is simply a Kaluza-Klein reduction of a Universal Field Equation. An implicit solution to the equation of motion is presented, and a class of explicit solutions pointed out. The multi-field extensions of both types of equations are derived from a first order formalism, which is simply the substantive derivative of fluid dynamics.

The league of legends : an exploratory public service bargain analysis of United Nations secretaries-general
Creators: name: Lin, Jungroan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2018

description: This paper attempts to explain the variation in leadership style among United Nations Secretaries-General. In doing so, I co-opt the typology of public service bargains (PSB), traditionally used to understand the behavior of public servants acting on behalf of their political masters. I frame the Secretary-General as an international public servant, working as the agent of the five permanent members of the Security Council. The historical PSB analysis of Secretaries-General demonstrates that the clear majority of Secretaries must possess diplomatic competencies in order to manage their multiple principals on the Security Council who often have clashing interests. However, Secretaries-General are increasingly found to need administrative prowess in the face of financial strain within the United Nations and pressure from members states for reform. Further, breakdowns in the bargain are identified, which lead to misplaced blame on the Secretary-General.
Radiation of the atomic chains exited by a channeling particle

description: Basic properties of radiation of the atomic chains excited by a channeling particle are considered. Using a very simple two-dimensional model of a crystal lattice we have shown that the main part of this radiation is generated on the frequency of oscillations of a channeling particle between the crystal planes, shifted by the Doppler effect. Angular distribution of the radiation of the chain of oscillating atoms is sharply peaked in the direction of the velocity of channeling particle because of coherence of the fields, produced by individual atoms.

Individual Human Behavior Identification Using an Inverse Reinforcement Learning Method

description: Shared control techniques have a great potential to create synergies in human-machine interaction for efficient and safe applications. However, an optimal interaction requires the machine to consider the individual behavior of the human partner. A widespread approach for modeling human behavior is given by optimal control theory, where the movement trajectories of a human arise from an optimized cost function. The aim of the identification is thus to determine parameters of a cost function which explains observed human motion. The central thesis of this paper is that individual cost function parameters which describe specific behavior can be determined by means of Inverse Reinforcement Learning. We show the applicability of the approach with a tracking control task example. The experiment consists in following a reference trajectory by means of a steering wheel. The study confirms that optimal control is suitable for modeling individual human behavior and demonstrates the suitability of Inverse Reinforcement Learning in order to determine the cost function parameters which explain measured data.
The Mutual Information In The Vicinity of Capacity-Achieving Input Distributions

description: The mutual information is bounded from above by a decreasing affine function of the square of the distance between the input distribution and the set of all capacity-achieving input distributions $Π_{\mathcal{A}}$, on small enough neighborhoods of $Π_{\mathcal{A}}$, using an identity due to Topsøe and the Pinsker's inequality, assuming that the input set of the channel is finite and the constraint set $\mathcal{A}$ is polyhedral, i.e., can be described by (possibly multiple but) finitely many linear constraints. Counterexamples demonstrating nonexistence of such a quadratic bound are provided for the case of infinitely many linear constraints and the case of infinite input sets. Using Taylor's theorem with the remainder term, rather than the Pinsker's inequality and invoking Moreau's decomposition theorem the exact characterization of the slowest decrease of the mutual information with the distance to $Π_{\mathcal{A}}$ is determined on small neighborhoods of $Π_{\mathcal{A}}$. Corresponding results for classical-quantum channels are established under separable output Hilbert space assumption for the quadratic bound and under finite-dimensional output Hilbert space assumption for the exact characterization. Implications of these observations for the channel coding problem and applications of the proof techniques to related problems are discussed.
