C floating-point proofs layered with VST and Flocq
Creators: name: Appel, Andrew W.
name: Bertot, Yves
Publisher: name: Journal of Formalized Reasoning
Year: 2021

description: We demonstrate tools and methods for proofs about the correctness and numerical accuracy of C programs. The tools are foundational, in that they are connected to formal semantic specifications of the C operational semantics and of the IEEE 754 floating-point format. The tools are modular, in that the reasoning about C programming can be done quite separately from the reasoning about numerical correctness and numerical accuracy. The tools are general, in that they accommodate almost the entire C language (with pointer data structures, function pointers, control flow, etc.) and applied mathematics (reasoned about in a general-purpose logic and proof assistant with substantial libraries for mathematical reasoning). We demonstrate on a simple Newton's-method square root function.

description: This paper considers the problem of testing for nonzero values of the equicorrelation coefficient of a standard symmetric multivariate normal distribution. Recently, SenGupta (1987) proposed a locally best test. We construct a beta-optimal test and present selected one and five per cent critical values. An empirical power comparison of SenGupta's test with two versions of the beta-optimal test and the power envelope shows the relative strengths of the three tests. It also allows us to assess and confirm Efron's (1975) rule of when to question the use of a locally best test, at least for this testing problem. On the basis of these results, we argue that the two beta-optimal tests can be considered as approximately uniformly most powerful tests, at least at the five per cent significance level.

description: A successful co-operative movement has been shown to be one of the ways of transforming subsistence-orientated agriculture into commercial agriculture. It should not be inferred from this that the formation of agricultural co-operatives alone will achieve the goals of agricultural development. However, they may act as catalysts in the process of agricultural development. The co-operative movement in the national states of Southern Africa has not yet, with some rare exceptions, played a significant role in the upgrading of agricultural performance. The aim of this paper is to provide a framework for the upgrading of the performance of the co-operative movement in agriculture in the less developed national states. Proposals are made as to - (a) the functional role of the co-operatives in agricultural development; and (b) the institutionalisation of co-operative action in the national states.

description: Jillian is the granddaughter of Henry who was born in Stogumber/Higher Vexford 13th July 1896 to George and Eliza Jane Potter a Labourer at the time, who by 1911 was to become a Shepherd on a farm and 2 of their 6 children worked there too.

Henry left school when he was 14 years old and went to work in Bicknoller as a Mason with his uncles building business, this is from where he was called up.

Henry was call up 24th November 1915 and served with the Somerset Light Infantry, regiment number 20396 as a Private. He was injured with a gunshot wound to his hip and was sent to Sutton Coldfield and then to Brand Lodge Hospital Colwall, Great Malvern to recover. Jillian brought in an official photograph of Blandford Camp in January 1916. The family have a photograph of him wearing a white lanyard on his shoulder which they believe suggests he was involved with horses during the war.

Henry was discharged 10th October 1917. He was awarded a silver war badge, number 260479.

All the photographs were annotated by Henry.

After he returned home from war, he worked at the Willett Estate doing maintenance work. He married in 1922 to Ethel May Symons and moved to Hound Hill, Stogumber where he lived until he died in 1964, he is buried in Crowcombe, Somerset.

He and his wife Ethel May had 1 son. In 1939 Henry was a Master Mason living at Hound Hill with his wife & son.

Jillian brought in a selection of 24 postcards which Henry sent home to his family during his war years, one of which is an embroidered postcard.
Henry made a leather belt embroidered with Somerset Light Infantry, motor bikes & flags etc. It is on display in the Taunton museum, Somerset Light Infantry section. Henry made this whilst recovering at Great Malvern.

description: This paper is the product of 12 months of intensive study applying game design to the challenges of journalism and news community management. After conducting interviews and site visits with a wide variety of leaders in major print, web, television and news organizations, primary observations were made. The goal was to understand how the increasingly challenged news media industry could benefit from the knowledge that has sustained the success of the game industry. Our findings indicate that the formal practice of game design offers three key foci that may likely prove useful to industries and practices concerned with improving their audience engagement strategies. These three foci are experience, agency and play. We suggest that these three elements are the key to engagement in non-game contexts and are a likely path to improving the struggles facing not only the news industry, but other domains like activism, social impact, and civic participation.

We show in detail how this is done for the pion, $ρ$ meson, nucleon, and delta resonance up to and including three partons. For the pion and nucleon, we also consider four-parton amplitudes. Using the scaling law derived recently, we show how these amplitudes scale in the limit that all parton transverse momenta become large.

Superoperator Representation of Nonlinear Response; Unifying Quantum Field and Mode Coupling Theories
Creators: name: Mukamel, Shaul
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Computing response functions by following the time evolution of superoperators in Liouville space (whose vectors are ordinary Hilbert space operators) offers an attractive alternative to the diagrammatic perturbative expansion of many-body equilibrium and nonequilibrium Green functions. The bookkeeping of time ordering is naturally maintained in real (physical) time, allowing the formulation of Wick's theorem for superoperators, giving a factorization of higher order response functions in terms of two fundamental Green's functions. Backward propagations and the analytic continuations using artificial times (Keldysh loops and Matsubara contours) are avoided. A generating functional for nonlinear response functions unifies quantum field theory and the classical mode coupling formalism of nonlinear hydrodynamics and may be used for semiclassical expansions. Classical response functions may be obtained without the explicit computation of stability matrices.

description: Thomas Octavius Walker is my husband's maternal grandfather.

Thomas Octavius Walker was born in Brighton 23/06/1894 the eldest son of Thomas and Elizabeth (nee Frost) Walker. Thomas married Eleanor Louisa Michie at The Register Office, Wandsworth on 23rd October 1915, he was 21 and working as a Motor Fitter, he also worked as a chauffeur.

On 1st November 1915 Thomas enlisted with Army Service Corps MT, regimental number 135644 and in 1917 he was a motor mechanic in the Anti Aircraft Brigade. During his service Thomas was a motor mechanic and a driver and a family story is that during the war he drove the Prince of Wales; they also shared the same birthday. Thomas was demobbed June 1919.

After the war Thomas was a driver and a mechanic looking after a fleet of charabancs (coaches) in Mitcham, Surrey, then turned to lorry driving as his health deteriorated. He had driven through a village that had been gassed during the war which left him with damaged lungs. He had to be helped in and out of the cab with refreshments brought out to him in the cab when he made his stops.

His eldest daughter Queenie recalled as children they used to find it funny that their Dad made funny bubbly noises when he breathed, little realising his poor health. Thomas died on 1st March 1928 age 34, at 46 Ouseley Road, Balham (St James' Hospital). Cause of death: a) Cardiac failure b) Asthma & Bronchitis.

Thomas and Eleanor had 7 children, 3 boys and 4 girls. Their first born Thomas, died aged 4 months in February 1917 and their 2nd son Lesley Ernest Hubert Walker was killed in action in Italy during WWII and he is buried at The Sangro River War Cemetery.

Thomas designed a tandem bicycle, a Chater Lea, but the family do not know if this was pre or post war. The Chater Lea tandems were sturdy machines mainly used for club riding and touring.

description: We introduce a class of one-dimensional lattice models in which a quantity, that may be thought of as an energy, is either transported from one site to a neighbouring one, or locally dissipated. Transport is controlled by a continuous bias parameter q, which allows us to study symmetric as well as asymmetric cases. We derive sufficient conditions for the factorization of the N-body stationary distribution and give an explicit solution for the latter, before briefly discussing physically relevant situations.

description: The stability of the vacuum for QED in the temporal gauge will be examined. It is generally assumed that the vacuum state is the quantum state with the lowest energy. However, it will be shown that this is not the case for a system consisting of a fermion field coupled to a quantized electromagnetic field in the temporal gauge. It will be shown that for this situation there exist quantum states with less energy than the vacuum state.

description: We consider the dynamical evolution of an interstellar cloud that is initially in thermal equilibrium in the warm phase and is then subjected to a sudden increase in the pressure of its surroundings. We find that if the initial plasma beta of the cloud is of order unity, then there is a considerable period during which the material in the cloud both has a small beta and is in the thermally unstable temperature range. These conditions are not only consistent with observations of star forming regions, but are also ideally suited to the production of density inhomogeneities by magnetohydrodynamic waves. The end result should be a cloud whose size and average density are typical of Giant Molecular Clouds (GMCs) and which contains denser regions whose densities are in the range inferred for the translucent clumps in GMCs.

description: We consider a finite range spin glass model in arbitrary dimension, where the strength of the two-body coupling decays to zero over some distance $γ^{-1}$. We show that, under mild assumptions on the interaction potential, the infinite-volume free energy of the system converges to that of the Sherrington-Kirkpatrick one, in the Kac limit $γ\to0$. This could be a first step toward an expansion around mean field theory, for spin glass systems.

Root sources of internal displacement and humanitarian intervention

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This piece investigates the link between the nature of internal displacement and responses by the international community to assist and protect internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). In order to investigate this pattern, it develops a typology on the root sources of internal displacement. The article claims that the conditions behind internal displacement may shape the characteristics of this phenomenon, including, among the most important, how parties behave vis-à-vis IDPs, the prospects for a prompt resolution of people's displacement, and the political ramifications of the uprooting (i.e., instability within the afflicted country or inter-state frictions derived from an eventual spill-over of refugees). These features, in turn, may shed light on how afflicted and donor states as well as humanitarian organizations react to internal displacement.
Fast forward approach to stochastic heat engine

description: The fast-forward (FF) scheme proposed by Masuda and Nakamura (\textit{Proc. R. Soc. A} \textbf{466}, 1135 (2010)) in the context of conservative quantum dynamics can reproduce a quasi-static dynamics in an arbitrarily short time. We apply the FF scheme to the classical stochastic Carnot-like heat engine which is driven by a Brownian particle coupled with a time-dependent harmonic potential and working between the high ($T_h$)- and low ($T_c$)-temperature heat reservoirs. Concentrating on the underdamped case where momentum degree of freedom is included, we find the explicit expressions for the FF protocols necessary to accelerate both the isothermal and thermally-adiabatic processes, and obtain the reversible and irreversible works. The irreversible work is shown to consist of two terms with one proportional to and the other inversely proportional to the friction coefficient. The optimal value of efficiency $η$ at the maximum power of this engine is found to be $η^*=\frac{1}{2} \left( 1+\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{T_c}{T_h}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}} - \frac{5}{4}\frac{T_c}{T_h} +O\left(\left(\frac{T_c}{T_h}\right)^{\frac{3}{2}}\right)\right)$ and $η^*= 1- \left(\frac{T_c}{T_h}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}$, respectively in the cases of strong and weak dissipation. The result is justified for a wide family of time scaling functions, making the FF protocols very flexible. We also revealed that the accelerated full cycle of the Carnot-like stochastic heat engine cannot be conceivable within the framework of the overdamped case, and the power and efficiency can be evaluated only when the momentum degree of freedom is taken into consideration.

Higgsino Dark Matter in a SUGRA Model with Nonuniversal Gaugino Masses

description: We study a specific SUGRA model with nonuniversal gaugino masses as an alternative to the minimal SUGRA model in the context of supersymmetric dark matter. The lightest supersymmetric particle in this model comes out to be a Higgsino dominated instead of a bino dominated lightest neutralino. The thermal relic density of this Higgsino dark matter is somewhat lower than the cosmologically favoured range, which means it may be only a subdominant component of the cold dark matter. Nonetheless, it predicts favourable rates of indirect detection, which can be seen in square-km size neutrino telescopes.

A model with one dark matter family can be adjusted so the observational constraints on the cosmological parameters are close to but different from what is predicted by the Lambda CDM model. This may be a useful aid to judging how tightly the cosmological parameters are constrained by the new generation of cosmological tests that depend on the theory of structure formation. In a model with two families of dark matter particles the scalar field may be locked to near zero mass for one family. This can suppress the long-range scalar force in the dark sector and eliminate evolution of the effective cosmological constant and the mass of the nonrelativistic dark matter particles, making the model close to Lambda CDM, until the particle number density becomes low enough to allow the scalar field to evolve. This is a useful example of the possibility for complexity in the dark sector.

description: We study colloidal ordering and disordering on two-dimensional periodic substrates where the number of colloids per substrate minima is two or three. The colloids form dimer or trimer states with orientational ordering, referred to as colloidal molecular crystals. At a fixed temperature such that, in the absence of a substrate, the colloids are in a triangular floating solid state, upon increasing the substrate strength we find a transition to an ordered colloidal molecular crystal state, followed by a transition to a disordered state where the colloids still form dimers or trimers but the orientational order is lost. These results are in agreement with recent experiments.

description: While the question ``how many CNOT gates are needed to simulate an arbitrary two-qubit operator'' has been conclusively answered -- three are necessary and sufficient -- previous work on this topic assumes that one wants to simulate a given unitary operator up to global phase. However, in many practical cases additional degrees of freedom are allowed. For example, if the computation is to be followed by a given projective measurement, many dissimilar operators achieve the same output distributions on all input states. Alternatively, if it is known that the input state is |0>, the action of the given operator on all orthogonal states is immaterial. In such cases, we say that the unitary operator is incompletely specified; in this work, we take up the practical challenge of satisfying a given specification with the smallest possible circuit. In particular, we identify cases in which such operators can be implemented using fewer quantum gates than are required for generic completely specified operators.

description: We present the analysis of the first observations of the Cygnus region by the SPI spectrometer onboard the Integral Gamma Ray Observatory, encompassing ${\sim}$ 600 ks of data. Three sources namely Cyg X-1, Cyg X-3 and EXO 2030+375 were clearly detected. Our data illustrate the temporal variability of Cyg X-1 in the energy range from 20 keV to 300 keV. The spectral analysis shows a remarkable stability of the Cyg X-1 spectra when averaged over one day timescale. The other goal of these observations is SPI inflight calibration and performance verification. The latest objective has been achieved as demonstrated by the results presented in this paper.

description: This study was conducted to assess the production of broiler birds in Obio/Akpor Local Government Area of Rivers State, Nigeria. A total of 60 broiler farmers were randomly selected in the study area. Data were collected using well-structured questionnaire and personal interview. Descriptive statistics, enterprise budget and multiple regression models were used to analyse the data. The result showed that males dominated the broiler business with 62.3% with average age of 41.4 years, average household size was 5 persons, majority of the respondents were able to obtain tertiary education (61.67%). The result also shows that farmers made an average net profit of N974, 280.58 per production cycle. The result of the regression analysis shows that cost of feed negatively influenced the amount of revenue realized and was significant at 1% while farm size and years of experience positively influenced the farmers’ revenue at 5% significance level. Double log model was chosen as the lead equation because it showed the highest R-squared ratio of 0.7615. This means that the explanatory variables included in the model were able to explain about 76% variation in the revenue of broiler production in the study area. Major constraints in broiler production include; high cost of feed, high cost of day old chicks, inadequate extension services and inadequate funds. It is recommended that farmers should include non-conventional feed in feeding the birds in order to reduce the cost of feeding.
An investigation into a cob and straw building for the proposed UBC Farm Centre

description: The following report investigates the viability of using cob and straw as the primary building materials for the new proposed UBC Farm Centre building. The new building is to be used for learning activities, community programs, and other similar activities. The location of the new centre is constrained to the current proposed location at the UBC Farm. In order to assess the viability, a triple bottom line analysis approach is used. This report is a meta-analysis of scientific data and case studies of previous cob and straw buildings. The environmental analysis reveals that embodied carbon from cob and straw is an order of magnitude less than traditional cement blocks. The economic analysis uses a case study to demonstrate the potential cost savings of using cob and straw as a primary building material over cement. The social aspect analysis finds the using of sustainable building material will have a net positive social benefit for the UBC community. The final recommendation is to use cob and straw as the primary building material for the proposed UBC Farm centre.

description: Peter Marwood Notley is the maternal Grandson of Ernest Alfred Vaughan. His family owned a glove factory in Torrington, and he was the treasurer of the Culmstock Otterhounds.

Ernest had served in India, as he was over 50 years old, he volunteered in the Devon Territorials until 1922. At the start of his service he was a Private but by the end of his service he was then a Major.

Peter was contacted by someone through Ancestry.com via a friend who had an account with Ancestry. Back in 1970 somewhere in Ilminster, Chard, a digger driver dug up a medal. Recently this digger family's' niece put a message on Ancestry.com asking for the family of the medal owner to contact them as they wished to return it to the family. A friend of Peters' saw it on Ancestry and a reunion was organised in March 2019 when the medal was returned.

Ernest loved India and took many photos of the time he was there, lots of black & white photos of places of interest etc were in the photo album which Peter brought in to be photographed. In the group photo Ernest is 4th from the left and there is another photo of Ernest "The Officer Commanding".
Other artefacts were letters he wrote to his sister, his payslip and war cuttings and of cause the above-mentioned medal.

Ernest died in 1949.

description: We present a series of measurements examining the penetration force required to push a flat plate vertically through a dense granular medium, focusing in particular on the effects of the bottom boundary of the vessel containing the medium. Our data demonstrate that the penetration force near the bottom is strongly affected by the surface properties of the bottom boundary, even many grain diameters above the bottom. Furthermore, the data indicate an intrinsic length scale for the interaction of the penetrating plate with the vessel bottom via the medium. This length scale, which corresponds to the extent of local jamming induced by the penetrating plate, has a square root dependence both upon the plate radius and the ambient granular stress near the bottom boundary, but it is independent of penetration velocity and grain diameter.

description: We study the dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking (DEWSB) in the $D (=6,8,...)$-dimensional bulk with compactified extra dimensions. We identify the critical binding strength for triggering the DEWSB, based on the ladder Schwinger-Dyson equation. In the top mode standard model with extra dimensions, where the standard model gauge bosons and the third generation of quarks and leptons are put in the bulk, we analyze the most attractive channel (MAC) by using renormalization group equations (RGEs) of (dimensionless) bulk gauge couplings and determine the effective cutoff where the MAC coupling exceeds the critical value. We then find that the top-condensation can take place for D=8. Combining RGEs of top-Yukawa and Higgs-quartic couplings with compositeness conditions, we predict the top mass, $m_t=173-180$ GeV, and the Higgs mass, $m_H=181-211$ GeV, for D=8, where we took the universal compactification scale $1/R = 1-100$ TeV.

description: This study was carried out using the 3S-Technology Approach involving geographic information system, remote sensing and global positioning system to ascertain the level of agricultural land reduction and cover change in Western Niger Delta. Landsat imageries of 1986 and 2008 acquired from National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA) were analysed, classified and interpreted. Related land cover types were merged to form the cover types of interest, namely, Agricultural lands, Built-up areas, Degraded areas and Water bodies. The findings revealed that Agricultural lands and Water bodies in the area reduced by 1103.29 hectares and 131.03 hectares respectively, while built-up and degraded areas increased by 134.46 hectares and 3299.15 hectares, respectively. However, the correlation result showed that there was an inverse perfect relationship between Agricultural Land and Degraded land, implying that as agricultural land is decreasing due to urbanization and infrastructural development, degraded area is increasing due to oil spills, effluent and saline discharge, land pollution/compaction by mud and dredged spoil; while there was a perfect positive relationship between Agricultural land and water bodies, as decrease in both cover types stems from the massive construction of canals and other infrastructural development made by Multinational oil companies due to oil exploration to facilitate transportation to gain access to the inland areas from the water bodies. There is no doubt that this had impacted on the livelihood of farmers, exacerbated poverty and food insecurity in the area, since farming and fishing are the major occupations in the area.
Examination of the Ketogenic Diet on Seizure and Non-Seizure Symptom Improvements in Pediatric Epilepsy Patients
Creators: name: Sarlo, Gabrielle L.
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: The ketogenic diet (KD) is an alternative treatment option for patients with refractory epilepsy. The dietary therapy community has defined diet efficacy as a 50% or greater reduction in seizures, with about 50% of patients usually reporting benefit. The aim of this study was to examine KD efficacy within its current definition (seizure control), as well as within alternative definitions. These alternative definitions of efficacy included efficacy defined by positive changes in seizure duration and/or severity and efficacy defined by non-seizure symptom improvement. A retrospective chart review of demographic, initial visit, diet initiation, and 3-month visit data was conducted for patients ≤18 years who underwent diet initiation at the Dietary Therapies for Epilepsy Clinic at Children's National Medical Center between the years of 2015-2018. Sixteen patients (62%) had a percentage of seizure reduction from baseline to 3-month post diet. Of those patients, 10 (63%) saw a 50% or greater reduction in their seizures. Changes in seizure duration or severity could not be adequately assessed due to missing data. Of the 26 patients with a 3-month visit, 14 (54%) reported non-seizure symptom improvements. There were no diet or patient characteristic predictors of diet efficacy when efficacy was defined by seizure control, nor when the definition was altered to represent patients with non-seizure symptom improvement. Limitations of the study such as the small sample size and missing data resulted in a lack of available analyses for potential variables of interest, as well as the inability to perform rigorous data analysis. Standardized patient forms among clinics could be a useful tool to promote improved data collection and increase study sample sizes in the future. Improvements in data collection of both seizure and non-seizure symptoms would allow for enhanced investigation into the benefits and potential drawbacks of the KD beyond seizure control. Additionally, future research should focus on mechanism of action(s) for the KD, as this will help not only to further inform its potential use in epilepsy, as well as in other neurological disorders, but also aid in the creation of novel dietary therapies.
