description: Predictions for (phi^4)_4 theory from renormalization-group-improved perturbation theory, as formulated by Luescher and Weisz, are compared to published (and some unpublished) data from lattice Monte-Carlo simulations of the 4-dimensional Ising model. Good agreement is found in all but one respect:-- the change in the wavefunction-renormalization constant Z_R across the phase transition is significantly greater than predicted. A related observation is that propagator data in the broken phase show deviations from free-propagator form -- deviations that become larger, not smaller, closer to the continuum limit. More data closer to the critical point are needed to clarify the situation.

description: Jovian electrons serve as an important test-particle distribution in the inner heliosphere and have been used extensively in the past to study the (diffusive) transport of cosmic rays in the inner heliosphere. With new limits on the Jovian source function (i.e. the particle intensity just outside the Jovian magnetosphere), and a new set of in-situ observations at 1 AU for both cases of good and poor magnetic connection between the source and observer, we revisit some of these earlier simulations. We aim to find the optimal numerical set-up that can be used to simulate the propagation of 6 MeV Jovian electrons in the inner heliosphere. Using such a set-up, we further aim to study the residence (propagation) times of these particles for different levels of magnetic connection between Jupiter and an observer at Earth (1 AU). Using an advanced Jovian electron propagation model based on the stochastic differential equation (SDE) approach, we calculate the Jovian electron intensity for different model parameters. A comparison with observations leads to an optimal numerical set-up, which is then used to calculate the so-called residence (propagation) times of these particles. Comparing to in-situ observations, we are able to derive transport parameters that are appropriate to study the propagation of 6 MeV Jovian electrons in the inner heliosphere. Moreover, using these values, we show that the method of calculating the residence time applied in former literature is not suited to being interpreted as the propagation time of physical particles. This is due to an incorrect weighting of the probability distribution. We propose and apply a new method, where the results from each pseudo-particle are weighted by its resulting phase-space density (i.e. the number of physical particles that it represents). Thereby we obtain more reliable estimates for the propagation time.

description: Realizing a long coherence time quantum memory is a major challenge of current quantum technology. Here, we report a single \Yb ion-qubit memory with over one hour coherence time, an order of improvement compared to the state-of-the-art record. The long coherence time memory is realized by addressing various technical challenges such as ambient magnetic-field noise, phase noise and leakage of the microwave oscillator. Moreover, systematically study the decoherence process of our quantum memory by quantum process tomography, which enables to apply the strict criteria of quantum coherence, relative entropy of coherence. We also benchmark our quantum memory by its ability in preserving quantum information, i.e., the robustness of quantum memory, which clearly shows that over 6000 s, our quantum memory preserves non-classical quantum information. Our results verify the stability of the quantum memory in hours level and indicate its versatile applicability in various scenarios.

description: A multi-part test is proposed for the hypothesis that American production agriculture is shrinking. The results of the three tests presented here are consistent with a shrinking American agricultural sector that is on the verge of, but not yet in, the final decline stage of its "life cycle." The sector is clearly shrinking in relative size and importance, and in absolute size, and its economic performance has been weak for decades. These changes in agriculture and their implications for the agricultural economics profession are discussed. Finally, (at least) two challenges to American agriculture and the agricultural economics profession are raised.

description: One of the most uncertain resources for a western beef cattle ranch is the availability of reliable spring forage. The impact on ranch equity position and income variability of investments in crested wheatgrass seedings designed to stabilize spring forage supplies is examined. Expected ending net worth under stochastic forage production and cattle prices is maximized subject to secondary safety-first objectives. Seedings increase expected ending net worth and increase annual net ranch incomes after plant establishment.

description: This paper analyzes policy implications arising from the National Brucellosis Technical Commission Study. A systems simulation model was designed to estimate physical losses resulting from alternative bovine brucellosis programs. Changes in benefits, costs, level of infection and net benefits were calculated by program alternatives for determining economic and epidemiologic implications. Results indicate all alternative programs considered yield positive net benefits and reduce the prevalence of the disease. The results imply a need for further research to determine a program that is both epidemiologically and economically optimal.

Together with the known non-Coulomb correction this results in the complete spectrum of S-states up to order alpha_s^5. The numerical impact of these corrections on the Upsilon spectrum and the top quark pair production cross section near threshold is estimated.

description: This study examines means of improving efficiency of the transportation portion of the export wheat handling system in the southern Plains. Analysis focuses on the feasibility of restructuring grain handling facilities to accommodate unit train movements to port locations. To accomplish this, a cost-minimizing network flow model was developed. Results show that the alternative transportation systems would have substantial effects on costs, wheat flow patterns and the economic variability of certain members of the grain handling and storage industry.

description: Network alignment is useful for multiple applications that require increasingly large graphs to be processed. Existing research approaches this as an optimization problem or computes the similarity based on node representations. However, the process of aligning every pair of nodes between relatively large networks is time-consuming and resource-intensive. In this paper, we propose a framework, called G-CREWE (Graph CompREssion With Embedding) to solve the network alignment problem. G-CREWE uses node embeddings to align the networks on two levels of resolution, a fine resolution given by the original network and a coarse resolution given by a compressed version, to achieve an efficient and effective network alignment. The framework first extracts node features and learns the node embedding via a Graph Convolutional Network (GCN). Then, node embedding helps to guide the process of graph compression and finally improve the alignment performance. As part of G-CREWE, we also propose a new compression mechanism called MERGE (Minimum dEgRee neiGhbors comprEssion) to reduce the size of the input networks while preserving the consistency in their topological structure. Experiments on all real networks show that our method is more than twice as fast as the most competitive existing methods while maintaining high accuracy.

The de Rham-Federer Theory of Differential Characters and Character Duality

description: The theory of differential characters is developed completely from a de Rham - Federer viewpoint. Characters are defined as equivalence classes of special currents, called sparks, which appear naturally in the theory of singular connections. There are many different spaces of currents which yield the character groups. A multiplication of de Rham-Federer characters is defined using transversality results for flat and rectifiable currents. There is a natural equivalence of ring functors from deRham - Federer characters to Cheeger-Simons characters. Differential characters have a topology and natural smooth Pontrjagin duals (introduced here). A principal result is the formulation and proof of duality for characters on oriented manifolds. It is shown that the pairing (a,b) --> a*b([X]) given by multiplication and evaluation on the fundamental cycle, gives an isomorphism of the group of differential characters of degree k with the dual to characters in degree n-k-1 where n = dim(X). It is also shown that there are natural Thom homomorphisms for differential characters. Gysin maps are also defined for differential characters. Many examples including Morse sparks, Hodge sparks and characteristic sparks are examined in detail.

description: The decade of the 70's witnessed an expansion in U.S. cropped acreage in response to rising foreign demand. During this same period, substantial acreages of cropland were converted to non-agricultural uses. An issue arising from these land adjustments is whether available cropland will constrain agricultural production in the near future? This paper provides some insight by developing cropland requirements to meet 1985 demand for major U.S. commodities and then compares these projections with recent data in cropland availability. The results indicate that agricultural production should not be constrained by land availability at the national level, even in the event of high demand levels and slowed yield growth. When the analysis is extended to specific farm production regions, some shifts in production are suggested.

description: We propose a one-dimensional, nonconvex elastic constitutive model with higher gradients that can predict spontaneous fracture at a critical load via a bifurcation analysis. It overcomes the problem of discontinuous deformations without additional field variables, such as damage or phase-field variables, and without a priori specified surface energy. Our main tool is the use of the inverse deformation, which can be extended to be a piecewise smooth mapping even when the original deformation has discontinuities describing cracks opening. We exploit this via the inverse-deformation formulation of finite elasticity due to Shield and Carlson, including higher gradients in the energy. The problem is amenable to a rigorous global bifurcation analysis in the presence of a unilateral constraint. Fracture under hard loading occurs on a bifurcating solution branch at a critical applied stretch level and fractured solutions are found to have surface energy arising from higher gradient effects.

description: During recent years, the feeder cattle industry has experienced financial instability. This paper provides a possible marketing strategy that may help reduce this financial instability by providing a Prehedging Strategy for the feedlot operator. The Prehedging Strategy establishes a dynamic hedge on the major factors of production of the feed lot operator and is shown to provide higher average returns and lower financial risk.

description: Cloud seeding to increase precipitation is a supply increasing technology regulated by a State agency. The increase in production is limited to the farmers living in the region affected but the price effects are distributed to all farmers in the market. Total revenue to farmers in the region may increase because for them the percent in production may be greater than the percent decrease in price. Total in revenue to farmers in a region will increase with an increase in the supply of a commodity with an inelastic demand if their share of the total market is less than the coefficient of elasticity of demand.

description: We have performed a large scale Monte Carlo simulation of a dilute classical Heisenberg model with ferromagnetic nearest neighbor and antiferromagnetic next-nearest neighbor interactions. We found that the model reproduces a reentrant spin-glass transition. That is, as the temperature is decreased, the magnetization increases rapidly below a certain temperature, reaches a maximum value, then ceases at some lower temperature. The low temperature phase was suggested to be a spin-glass phase that is characterized by ferromagnetic clusters.

We give an abstract description of their obstruction and the algebraic structure it exploits, using the sheaf theoretic framework of Abramsky and Brandenburger. At this level of generality we contrast their approach to the Cech cohomology obstruction of Abramsky, Mansfield and Barbosa and give a direct proof that Cech cohomology is at least as powerful.

Risk and Uncertainty

description: The absolute and relative risk aversion characteristics of a large sample of farm operators were estimated from the observed portfolio responses to changes in wealth. Regression estimates suggest that farm operators display decreasing absolute risk aversion. Relative risk aversion varies by type of farm. However, the definition of risky assets has an important bearing on relative risk aversion characteristics. Non-wealth variables are also important in explaining the holding of risky assets by farm operators.

The corresponding irreversible Heisenberg evolution in terms of stochastic completely positive (CP) maps is constructed. The general form and the dilation of the stochastic completely dissipative (CD) equation over the algebra L(H) is discovered, as well as the unitary quantum stochastic dilation of the subfiltering and contractive flows with unbounded generators. A unitary quantum stochastic cocycle, dilating the subfiltering CP flows over L(H), is reconstructed.

No evidence is found for the 2175 A feature which is present in the Milky Way dust extinction curve. The extinction curve resembles the SMC extinction curve. The observed Delta(g-i) excess for QSOs with strong absorption systems appears to be a result of the reddening due to dust in the intervening absorbers.

Adolescents with type I diabetes : an interpretive description of expertise in everyday decision making
Creators: name: O’Flynn-Magee, Kathy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Adolescence is often perceived as a challenging time and the notion of expertise in this population is not a common one. The lives of adolescents with type 1 diabetes are extraordinarily complex and their diabetes management requires them to make numerous decisions on a day to-day basis. Little is known about adolescents' everyday decision making therefore the purpose of this study was to explore how adolescents with type 1 diabetes who were nominated as having expertise in diabetes management make everyday decisions. Using interpretive description as the methodology for this qualitative study, I employed a variety of methods to collect data from six adolescents with type 1 diabetes. I interviewed participants twice, used a "Think-Aloud" strategy that involved participants' use of an audio tape recorder to verbalize their decision-making, and I facilitated a focus group with five of the six participants in order to share my initial analysis and to generate new data. The use of a variety of data collection methods resulted in rich data that might not have been captured had I relied on a single data collection strategy. Findings from this study revealed that participants' everyday decision making is both an art and a science, both of which are enacted in the social context of adolescents' lives. Of particular note was the importance attributed to the support of families and friends. In addition to the social context of their lives, adolescents' decision making was influenced by personal, gendered, and socio-political contexts. The contexts that emerged from the study's analysis beg for a tentative link to expertise. Although expertise in adolescents with type 1 diabetes is neither well defined nor well articulated at this time, the findings from this study support the notion of expertise in adolescents as a credible objective. These findings should encourage us, as nurses, to try to understand'and recognize expertise in adolescent clients, to acknowledge and foster it in those who have it, and to discover ways to develop it in those who do not.

description: Coarsening and persistence of Ising spins on a ladder is examined under voter dynamics. The density of domain walls decreases algebraically with time as $t^-{1/2}$ for sequential as well as parallel dynamics. The persistence probability decreases as $t^{-θ_{s}}$ under sequential dynamics, and as $t^{-θ_{p}}$ under parallel dynamics where $θ_{p} = 2 θ_{s} \approx .88$. Numerical values of the exponents are explained. The results are compared with the voter model on one and two dimensional lattices, as well as Ising model on a ladder under zero-temperature Glauber dynamics.

 Remarks. PIC (1906) described Anthicus insignitus from an unstated number of specimens collected by L. Vibert in southern Tunisia, which were deposited in his and the Vibert Collection. Its present placement in Microhoria is provisional, dependant on the generic synonymy proposed here. This species may belong in Liparoderus, as stated below, however this possibility must be confirmed by examination of the type specimens. Searching in Pic’s collection, Z. Kejval found a single pin with the locality, identification, and type labels for this species (the specimen was lacking), together with a specimen of Liparoderus bearing the following data: ‘ Tunisie [h] // insignitus Pic [h] // Krekich vid [p].’ This specimen is not quite excluded from being a member of the type series, however it lacks the type locality data and type labels. There are additional facts suggesting placement of A. insignitus in Liparoderus – PIC (1906) compared this new species with Anthicus barnevillei and Anthicus insignis var. insignior (the latter is presently a member of Liparoderus, see CHANDLER et al. 2008), and some characters given in the original description agree with Liparoderus, mainly the larger size (3.5–4 mm), large, posteriorly subtruncate head, robust pronotum, and two silvery, sinuous setose bands on the elytra.

description: By increasing mobile devices in technology and human life, using a runtime and mobile services has gotten more complex along with the composition of a large number of atomic services. Different services are provided by mobile cloud components to represent the non-functional properties as Quality of Service (QoS), which is applied by a set of standards. On the other hand, the growth of the energy-source heterogeneity in mobile clouds is an emerging challenge according to the energy-saving problem in mobile nodes. To mobile cloud service composition as an NP-Hard problem, an efficient selection method should be taken by problem using optimal energy-aware methods that can extend the deployment and interoperability of mobile cloud components. Also, an energy-aware service composition mechanism is required to preserve high energy saving scenarios for mobile cloud components. In this paper, an energy-aware mechanism is applied to optimize mobile cloud service composition using a hybrid Shuffled Frog Leaping Algorithm and Genetic Algorithm (SFGA). Experimental results capture that the proposed mechanism improves the feasibility of the service composition with minimum energy consumption, response time, and cost for mobile cloud components against some current algorithms.

description: The Schinzel hypothesis claims (but it seems hopeless to prove) that any irreducible Q[x] polynomial without a constant factor assumes infinitely many prime values at integer places. On the other hand, it is easy to see that a reducible Q[x] polynomial can have only finitely many such places. In this paper we prove that a reducible Z[x] polynomial of degree n (where n is not 4 or 5) can have at most n+2 such places, and there exist examples with n+1 places. If the Schinzel hypothesis and the k-prime-tuple conjecture are true, then there are also polynomials with n+2 such places. (For n=4 or 5 the maximum possible value is 8.) If a Z[x] polynomial is the product of two non-constant integer-valued Q[x] polynomials, then there are at most 1.87234...n+o(n) such places. Even in this case, the number of integer places with positive prime values is at most n. More generally, if f=gh \in R[x] is a product of two non-constant real polynomials, then the number of real places x such that |g(x)|=1 or |h(x)=1|, while f(x)>1, is at most n. For a natural complex version of this last statement we give a counterexample. Furthermore, we briefly consider the generalized problem of assuming values in a fixed finite set of integers.

description: Data on net turnoff for small, medium-sized and large cow-calf and small and large size yearling ranches were tested for normality using the Shapiro - Wilk test. The yield data examined were accepted as normally distributed at the alpha = .10 level. The probability of profit for each type of ranch was assessed using normal curve techniques for nine different cost-price alternatives and weather conditions. Yearling cattle ranchers had higher profit probabilities than cow-calf ranchers. Prices received had more influence on profit probabilities than weather conditions.

description: A DNA string is a Watson-Crick (WK) palindrome when the complement of its reverse is equal to itself. The Watson-Crick mapping $θ$ is an involution that is also an antimorphism. $θ$-conjugates of a word is a generalisation of conjugates of a word that incorporates the notion of WK-involution $θ$. In this paper, we study the distribution of palindromes and Watson-Crick palindromes, also known as $θ$-palindromes among both the set of conjugates and $θ$-conjugates of a word $w$. We also consider some general properties of the set $C_θ(w)$, i.e., the set of $θ$-conjugates of a word $w$, and characterize words $w$ such that $|C_θ(w)|=|w|+1$, i.e., with the maximum number of elements in $C_θ(w)$. We also find the structure of words that have at least one (WK)-palindrome in $C_θ(w)$.

Constraining the structure of the non-spherical preprotostellar core L1544

description: A series of self-consistent, three-dimensional continuum radiative transfer models are constructed of the pre-protostellar core L1544, with the results compared with existing SCUBA and ISO data. The source is well-fit by a prolate spheroid, having an ellipsoidal power-law density distribution of index m ~ 2 (1.75 < m < 2.25) in to at least r ~ 1600AU. For r<1600 AU, the data are consistent with either an extension of the power law to smaller radii, or a flattened (Bonner-Ebert like) density distribtion. We can further constrain the optical depth along the short axis at 1300um to be ~ 5e-3, the central luminosity to be L < 1e-3 solar luminosities, the long axis diameter D ~ 0.1 pc, the axis ratio to be q ~ 2, and the external ISRF to be similar to that defined by Mathis, Mezger, & Panagia (1983) to within 50 per cent. The outer diameter and axis ratio may each be somewhat larger due to potential on-source chopping in the observations, and the projection of the long axis onto the plane of the sky. While these results are similar to those inferred directly from observations or spherical modeling due to the source transparency at submillimeter wavelengths, we infer a smaller size, lower mass, and higher optical depth / column density, exposed to a stronger external radiation field than previously assumed. Finally, we find that both the spectral energy distribution (SED) and surface brightness distribution are necessary to constrain the source properties in this way.

description: A singularly perturbed phase field model used to model lithium-ion batteries including chemical and elastic effects is considered. The underlying energy is given by $$I_ε[u,c ] := \int_Ω\left( \frac{1}ε f(c) + ε\|\nabla c\|^2 + \frac{1}ε\mathbb{C} (e(u)-ce_0) : (e(u)-ce_0)\right) dx, $$ where $f$ is a double well potential, $\mathbb{C}$ is a symmetric positive definite fourth order tensor, $c$ is the normalized lithium-ion density, and $u$ is the material displacement. The integrand contains elements close to those in energy functionals arising in both the theory of fluid-fluid and solid-solid phase transitions. For a strictly star-shaped, Lipschitz domain $Ω\subset \mathbb{R}^2,$ it is proven that $Γ- \lim_{ε\to 0} I_ε= I_0,$ where $I_0$ is finite only for pairs $(u,c)$ such that $f(c) = 0$ and the symmetrized gradient $e(u) = ce_0$ almost everywhere. Furthermore, $I_0$ is characterized as the integral of an anisotropic interfacial energy density over sharp interfaces given by the jumpset of $c.$

description: We have obtained optical imaging with the Canada France Hawaii Telescope (CFHT) of 21 2MASS-selected QSOs of redshift greater than 0.3. This paper complements the sample of lower redshift 2MASS QSOs previously published. The QSOs have higher overall and nuclear luminosity, bluer colours, and higher ratio of nuclear to host flux than the lower redshift sample. From these and other properties, we argue that the sample is consistent with the emergence of the AGN from dusty starbursts following major tidal interactions between galaxies.

The optical loss study of molecular layer for a cryogenic interferometric gravitational-wave detector

description: The detection of gravitational-waves provides us with a deep insight into the universe. In order to increase the number of detectable gravitational-wave sources, several future gravitational-wave detectors will operate with cryogenic mirrors. Recent studies, however, showed residual gas molecules inside the vacuum chamber adhere to the cryogenic mirror surface and form a molecular layer which grows with time. The growing molecular layer introduces an additional optical loss in the mirror which can decrease the detector's performance. We theoretically estimate the optical loss by the molecular layer in a cryogenically operated gravitational-wave detector. The impacts on a cryogenic gravitational-wave detector is discussed based on the results of optical loss estimation.

description: Lloyd has considered the ultimate limitations physics places on quantum computers. He concludes in particular that for an ``ultimate laptop'' (a computer of one liter of volume and one kilogram of mass) the maximum number of operations per second is bounded by $10^{51}$. The limit is derived considering ordinary quantum mechanics. Here we consider additional limits that are placed by quantum gravity ideas, namely the use of a relational notion of time and fundamental gravitational limits that exist on time measurements. We then particularize for the case of an ultimate laptop and show that the maximum number of operations is further constrained to $10^{47}$ per second.
