Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics (astro-ph.CO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We relate the information entropy and the mass variance of any distribution in the regime of small fluctuations. We use a set of Monte Carlo simulations of different homogeneous and inhomogeneous distributions to verify the relation and also test it in a set of cosmological N-body simulations. We find that the relation is in excellent agreement with the simulations and is independent of number density and the nature of the distributions. We show that the relation between information entropy and mass variance can be used to determine the linear bias on large scales and detect the signatures of non-Gaussianity on small scales in galaxy distributions.

description: Spectral clustering methods which are frequently used in clustering and community detection applications are sensitive to the specific graph constructions particularly when imbalanced clusters are present. We show that ratio cut (RCut) or normalized cut (NCut) objectives are not tailored to imbalanced cluster sizes since they tend to emphasize cut sizes over cut values. We propose a graph partitioning problem that seeks minimum cut partitions under minimum size constraints on partitions to deal with imbalanced cluster sizes. Our approach parameterizes a family of graphs by adaptively modulating node degrees on a fixed node set, yielding a set of parameter dependent cuts reflecting varying levels of imbalance. The solution to our problem is then obtained by optimizing over these parameters. We present rigorous limit cut analysis results to justify our approach and demonstrate the superiority of our method through experiments on synthetic and real datasets for data clustering, semi-supervised learning and community detection.

description: The logic of goal-directed knowing-how extends the standard epistemic logic with an operator of knowing-how. The knowing-how operator is interpreted as that there exists a strategy such that the agent knows that the strategy can make sure that p. This paper presents a tableau procedure for the multi-agent version of the logic of strategically knowing-how and shows the soundness and completeness of this tableau procedure. This paper also shows that the satisfiability problem of the logic can be decided in PSPACE.

description: Binary decision diagrams (BDDs) are widely used to mitigate the state-explosion problem in model checking. A variation of BDDs are Zero-suppressed Decision Diagrams (ZDDs) which omit variables that must be false, instead of omitting variables that do not matter. We use ZDDs to symbolically encode Kripke models used in Dynamic Epistemic Logic, a framework to reason about knowledge and information dynamics in multi-agent systems. We compare the memory usage of different ZDD variants for three well-known examples from the literature: the Muddy Children, the Sum and Product puzzle and the Dining Cryptographers. Our implementation is based on the existing model checker SMCDEL and the CUDD library. Our results show that replacing BDDs with the right variant of ZDDs can significantly reduce memory usage. This suggests that ZDDs are a useful tool for model checking multi-agent systems.

Characterizing the Influence of Ballast Flying
Creators: name: Adane, Lemma
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2016

description: Ballast flying is understood as cause of track deterioration in many countries over where high train speed is operated. The deformation and degradation behavior of ballast under static and dynamic load cause the ballast to fly early from under the track. In this thesis, the railway ballast particle force equilibrium is analyzed through basic mechanics and mathematical formula and a discrete element model is set up to discover the factors and influences. Ballast flying is correlated with ballast shape and mass, especially the ballast shape mass ratio corresponding to operation speed. Ballast interlock ability governs the ballast flying possibility and severity. Ballast flying possibility increase with ballast bed acceleration. The performance of ballasted track depend not only on its design, but also the way and quality of maintenance ,ballast needed to analyze the shape and mass of ballast material used to reduce the flying of ballast under track. This thesis investigated the effect and influence of ballast flying using a Discrete Element Modeling (DEM) approach. Results show that ballast flying particle is correlated with ballast shape and mass, aggregate gradation and ballast interlock ability. From DEM output it can be conclude that finer and non-uniformly graded aggregate are easily fly under railway track during operation and ballast with high angular shape resulted in the highest shear resistance or high stability. Acyclic loading analysis was conducted for angular particles relatively low confining pressure for analysis of particle fragmentation the generated assembly of angular particles undergoing fragmentation at various load cycle. from the simulation observe that though the mechanical load increase the fragmentation of railway ballast increases and finally leads to ballast displacement which lead to ballast flying. As the applied normal force increased, the shear force also increased primarily influenced by the shape effects of aggregate angularity and surface texture. Yet, a rough surfaced rounded particle had shear strength higher than that of a smooth-surfaced angular particle. The fact that rounded gravel particles have less aggregate interlock compared to crushed angular aggregate to transfer shear force can be explained by the bilinear contact force paths for the rolling and climbing up of the rounded particles. Angularity and cubical particles have high resistance to the vertical displacement under traffic loading because the inter particle force high when compared with the spherical and rounded/circular particles.

description: The dominant theories of rational choice assume logical omniscience. That is, they assume that when facing a decision problem, an agent can perform all relevant computations and determine the truth value of all relevant logical/mathematical claims. This assumption is unrealistic when, for example, we offer bets on remote digits of pi or when an agent faces a computationally intractable planning problem. Furthermore, the assumption of logical omniscience creates contradictions in cases where the environment can contain descriptions of the agent itself. Importantly, strategic interactions as studied in game theory are decision problems in which a rational agent is predicted by its environment (the other players). In this paper, we develop a theory of rational decision making that does not assume logical omniscience. We consider agents who repeatedly face decision problems (including ones like betting on digits of pi or games against other agents). The main contribution of this paper is to provide a sensible theory of rationality for such agents. Roughly, we require that a boundedly rational inductive agent tests each efficiently computable hypothesis infinitely often and follows those hypotheses that keep their promises of high rewards. We then prove that agents that are rational in this sense have other desirable properties. For example, they learn to value random and pseudo-random lotteries at their expected reward. Finally, we consider strategic interactions between different agents and prove a folk theorem for what strategies bounded rational inductive agents can converge to.

description: We introduce a new method of investigating qutrit nonclassicality by translating qutrit operators to symmetric two-qubit operators. We show that this procedure partially resolves the discrepancy between maximal qutrit entanglement and maximal nonclassicality of qutrit correlations. Namely we express Bell operators corresponding to qutrit Bell inequalities in terms of symmetric two-qubit operators, and analyze the maximal quantum violation of a given Bell inequality from the qubit perspective. As an example we show that the two-qutrit CGLMP(Collins-Gisin-Linden-Massar-Popescu) Bell inequality can be seen as a combination of Mermin's and CHSH (Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt) qubit Bell inequalities, and therefore the optimal state violating this combination differs from the one which corresponds to the maximally entangled state of two qutrits. In addition, we discuss the same problem for a three qutrit inequality. We also demonstrate that the maximal quantum violation of the CGLMP inequality follows from complementarity of correlations.

We interpret them generally, as restrictions on the process of iterated revision, and we apply them to three well-known belief revision methods: conditioning, lexicographic revision, and minimal revision. We investigate the reliability of biased belief revision methods in truth tracking. We also run computer simulations to assess the performance of biased belief revision in random scenarios.

A Logic-Based Analysis of Responsibility

description: This paper presents a logic-based framework to analyze responsibility, which I refer to as intentional epistemic act-utilitarian stit theory (IEAUST). To be precise, IEAUST is used to model and syntactically characterize various modes of responsibility, where by 'modes of responsibility' I mean instances of Broersen's three categories of responsibility (causal, informational, and motivational responsibility), cast against the background of particular deontic contexts. IEAUST is obtained by integrating a modal language to express the following components of responsibility on stit models: agency, epistemic notions, intentionality, and different senses of obligation. With such a language, I characterize the components of responsibility using particular formulas. Then, adopting a compositional approach -- where complex modalities are built out of more basic ones -- these characterizations of the components are used to formalize the aforementioned modes of responsibility.

description: One of the key goals of the Bluedisk survey is to characterize the impact of gas accretion in disc galaxies in the context of galaxy evolution. It contains 50 disc galaxies in the stellar mass range 10^10-10^11 Msun, of which half are bluer and more HI-rich galaxies than their HI-normal (control) counterparts. In this paper, we investigate how ongoing disc growth affects the molecular gas distribution and the star-formation efficiency in these galaxies. We present 12CO observations from the IRAM 30-m telescope in 26 galaxies of the Bluedisk survey. We compare the amount and spatial distribution of the molecular gas to key quantities such as atomic gas, stellar mass and surface density, star-formation rate and metallicity. We analyse the star-formation rate per unit gas (SFR/HI and SFR/H2) and relate all those parameters to general galaxy properties (HI-rich/control disc, morphology, etc.). We find that the HI-rich galaxies have similar H2 masses as the control galaxies. In their centres, HI-rich galaxies have lower H2/HI ratios and marginally shorter molecular gas depletion times. However, the main differences between the two samples occur in the outer parts of the discs, with the HI-rich galaxies having slightly smaller CO discs (relative to the optical radius R25) and steeper CO and metallicity gradients than the control galaxies. The ongoing accretion of HI at large radii has thus not led to an appreciable growth of the CO discs in our sample. Based on depletion times, we estimate that this gas will contribute to star formation on time-scales of at least 5 Gyr.

description: Unknown unknowns are future relevant contingencies that lack an ex ante description. While there are numerous retrospective accounts showing that significant gains or losses might have been achieved or avoided had such contingencies been previously uncovered, getting hold of unknown unknowns still remains elusive, both in practice and conceptually. Using Formal Concept Analysis (FCA) - a subfield of lattice theory which is increasingly applied for mining and organizing data - this paper introduces a simple framework to systematically think out of the box and direct the search for unknown unknowns.

Household's Willingness to Pay for Solid Waste Management Options: The Case of Yekka Sub City, Addis Ababa,Ethiopia
Creators: name: Tarfasa, Solomon
Publisher: name: National Academic Digital Repository of Ethiopia
Year: 2007

description: A major implication of the pattern of urbanization and rapid population growth in developing countries, like Ethiopia, is expanding adequate infrastructures, waste management service being one of them. However, it seems that this has not been the case in developing countries in general and in Ethiopia in particular. There is a range of solid waste problems, including inadequate waste collection systems, open dumping and other forms of improper final disposal resulting in environmental pollution. The primary objective of this study is to conduct an economic study on demand for municipal solid waste management (SWM) improvements in Yekka-sub city, Addis Ababa, so that the adverse effects of the solid waste in terms of economic, health and environmental impacts may be minimized. In this study an environmental valuation technique – Choice modeling (CM) was employed on 242 randomly selected urban households in Yekka-sub city to estimate the economic values of household's preferences for improved solid waste management service. This study has obtained estimates of marginal values of improved SWM service attributes and households' WTP for improved MSW management services. Households on average are willing to pay an additional charge of Birr 12.95 per month for a change in collection frequency form once per week to twice per week or from twice per week to thrice, ceteris paribus, and that households' net benefit per unit of waste is higher when there is sorting compared with the situation when there is no sorting since they pay less per unit of total waste ((i.e. both the recyclable and the non-recyclable solid waste) when there is sorting relative to what they pay for total waste when there is no sorting, ceteris paribus. In conclusion, households are willing to pay a positive amount of money for solid waste management service, which implies that any policy to bring about efficient solid waste management service in an area needs to include the demand side information should it yield the needed environmental impacts while yielding the needed environmental impacts.

description: Binarizing belief aggregation addresses how to rationally aggregate individual probabilistic beliefs into collective binary beliefs. Similar to the development of judgment aggregation theory, formulating axiomatic requirements, proving impossibility theorems, and identifying exact agenda conditions of impossibility theorems are natural and important research topics in binarizing belief aggregation. Building on our previous research on impossibility theorems, we use an agenda-theoretic approach to generalize the results and to determine the necessary and sufficient level of logical interconnection between the issues in an agenda for the impossibility theorems to arise. We demonstrate that (1) path-connectedness and even-negatability constitute the exact agenda condition for the oligarchy result stating that binarizing belief aggregation satisfying proposition-wise independence and deductive closure of collective beliefs yields the oligarchies under minor conditions; (2) negation-connectedness is the condition for the triviality result obtained by adding anonymity to the oligarchy result; and (3) blockedness is the condition for the impossibility result, which follows by adding completeness and consistency of collective beliefs. Moreover, we compare these novel findings with existing agenda-theoretic characterization theorems in judgment aggregation and belief binarization.

description: Quantum sensing describes the use of quantum phenomena to perform the measurement of a physical activity or property. Here we highlight two quantum optical techniques in the context of laboratory astrophysics: photon bunching and super resolution. Photon bunching is the characteristic behaviour of thermal light such as the blackbody radiation emitted by stellar light sources. It is the tendency of thermal photons to propagate closer together than described by the random Poissonian timing distribution, when measured on a very short coherence timescale that is inversely proportional to its spectral width. This photon bunching property when exploited in the spatial domain, allows for long-baseline spatial intensity interferometry approaching the micro-arcsecond angular resolution required to image stellar surfaces or exoplanets. Temporal photon bunching behaviour may correspondingly be applied towards correlation spectroscopy to resolve very narrow linewidths. Its ability to measure temporal coherence may also be used to detect for evidence of phase dispersion over cosmic distances, e.g. test for signatures of Lorentz Invariance Violation. This may also be useful in the search for astrophysical lasers, be it natural candidates such as the Eta Carinae system and Wolf-Rayet stars, or from technosignature candidates by the Breakthrough Listen programme. Super resolution refers to the extraction of information beyond the diffraction limit of the collection optics aperture. One such technique is based on separating the common radially symmetric mode from the asymmetric modes of input light, and thus separate their respective shot noise contributions into different detectors. In the astrophysical context, this may be useful to enhance luminosity transit measurements by separating the exoplanet transit signal into a different detection channel from the main source of shot noise contribution by the host star, and therefore potentially increase the signal-to-noise ratio.

Formation and evolution of blue compact dwarfs: The origin of their steep rotation curves

Year: 2016
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: The origin of the observed steep rotation curves of blue compact dwarf galaxies (BCDs) remains largely unexplained by theoretical models of BCD formation. We therefore investigate the rotation curves in BCDs formed from mergers between gas-rich dwarf irregular galaxies based on the results of numerical simulations for BCD formation. The principal results are as follows. The dark matter of merging dwarf irregulars undergoes a central concentration so that the central density can become up to six times higher than those of the initial dwarf irregulars. However, the more compact dark matter halo alone can not reproduce the gradient differences observed between dwarf irregulars and BCDs. We provide further support that the central concentration of gas due to rapid gas-transfer to the central regions of dwarf--dwarf mergers is responsible for the observed difference in rotation curve gradients. The BCDs with central gas concentration formed from merging can thus show steeply rising rotation curves in their central regions. Such gas concentration is also responsible for central starbursts of BCDs and the high central surface brightness and is consistent with previous BCD studies. We discuss the relationship between rotational velocity gradient and surface brightness, the dependence of BCD rotation curves on star formation threshold density, progenitor initial profile, interaction type and merger mass ratio, as well as potential evolutionary links between dwarf irregulars, BCDs and compact dwarf irregulars.

Knowledge-wh and False Belief Sensitivity: A Logical Study (An Extended Abstract)
Creators: name: Yang, Yuanzhe
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2023
Subjects: subject: Logic in Computer Science (cs.LO)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: In epistemic logic, a way to deal with knowledge-wh is to interpret them as a kind of mention-some knowledge (MS-knowledge). But philosophers and linguists have challenged both the sufficiency and necessity of such an account: some argue that knowledge-wh has, in addition to MS-knowledge, also a sensitivity to false belief (FS); others argue that knowledge-wh might only imply mention-some true belief (MS-true belief). In this paper, we offer a logical study for all these different accounts. We apply the technique of bundled operators, and introduce four different bundled operators: $[\mathsf{tB}^\mathtt{MS}]^x ϕ:= \exists x (\mathsf{[B]} ϕ\wedge ϕ)$, $[\mathsf{tB}^\mathtt{MS}_\mathtt{FS}]^x ϕ:= \exists x (\mathsf{[B]} ϕ\wedge ϕ) \wedge \forall x (\mathsf{[B]} ϕ\to ϕ)$, $[\mathsf{K}^\mathtt{MS}]^x ϕ:= \exists x \mathsf{[K]} ϕ$ and $[\mathsf{K}^\mathtt{MS}_\mathtt{FS}]^x ϕ:= \exists x \mathsf{[K]} ϕ\wedge \forall x (\mathsf{[B]} ϕ\to ϕ)$, which characterize the notions of MS-true belief, MS-true belief with FS, MS-knowledge and MS-knowledge with FS respectively. We axiomatize the four logics which take the above operators (as well as $\mathsf{[K]}$) as primitive modalities on the class of $S4.2$-constant-domain models, and compare the patterns of reasoning in the obtained logics, in order to show how the four accounts of knowledge-wh differ from each other, as well as what they have in common.

description: Shear flows are ubiquitous in astrophysical objects including planetary and stellar interiors, where their dynamics can have significant impact on thermo-chemical processes. Investigating the complex dynamics of shear flows requires numerical calculations that provide a long time evolution of the system. To achieve a sufficiently long lifetime in a local numerical model the system has to be forced externally. However, at present, there exist several different forcing methods to sustain large-scale shear flows in local models. In this paper we examine and compare various methods used in the literature in order to resolve their respective applicability and limitations. These techniques are compared during the exponential growth phase of a shear flow instability, such as the Kelvin-Helmholtz (KH) instability, and some are examined during the subsequent non-linear evolution. A linear stability analysis provides reference for the growth rate of the most unstable modes in the system and a detailed analysis of the energetics provides a comprehensive understanding of the energy exchange during the system's evolution. Finally, we discuss the pros and cons of each forcing method and their relation with natural mechanisms generating shear flows.

description: I report the activities of laboratory astrophysics (astrochemistry) in Japan. The relevant society in Japan is gradually spreading in the last decade. Thank to recent big projects, astrophysics and astrochemistry have been recognized as interesting interdisciplinary science among pure physicists and chemists. At the same time, technical developments enable us to investigate various elementary processes in both gas and solid phases, which used to be hardly performed. Interaction among researchers in laboratory astrophysics, astronomy, planetary science, physics, and chemistry is getting stronger. However, unfortunately, the number of researchers in laboratory astrophysics is still limited.

description: We consider the problem of incentivising desirable behaviours in multi-agent systems by way of taxation schemes. Our study employs the concurrent games model: in this model, each agent is primarily motivated to seek the satisfaction of a goal, expressed as a Linear Temporal Logic (LTL) formula; secondarily, agents seek to minimise costs, where costs are imposed based on the actions taken by agents in different states of the game. In this setting, we consider an external principal who can influence agents' preferences by imposing taxes (additional costs) on the actions chosen by agents in different states. The principal imposes taxation schemes to motivate agents to choose a course of action that will lead to the satisfaction of their goal, also expressed as an LTL formula. However, taxation schemes are limited in their ability to influence agents' preferences: an agent will always prefer to satisfy its goal rather than otherwise, no matter what the costs. The fundamental question that we study is whether the principal can impose a taxation scheme such that, in the resulting game, the principal's goal is satisfied in at least one or all runs of the game that could arise by agents choosing to follow game-theoretic equilibrium strategies. We consider two different types of taxation schemes: in a static scheme, the same tax is imposed on a state-action profile pair in all circumstances, while in a dynamic scheme, the principal can choose to vary taxes depending on the circumstances. We investigate the main game-theoretic properties of this model as well as the computational complexity of the relevant decision problems.

description: Introduction: More than one billion people in the world are between the ages of 15 and 24, and most live in developing countries. Unsafe sex is a major threat to the health and survival of millions of adolescents. Each year, one in 20 adolescents worldwide contracts an STI including HIV/AIDS. Objectives: to assess premarital sexual practices and perception of sexual and reproductive health risks associated with it among in-school youths of Shoa Robit town, North Shoa Zone, Amhara National Regional state, Ethiopia Method of the study: An Institution based cross-sectional study design including both quantitative and qualitative surveys was used. To determine number of students to be included in the study, a single population proportion formula was used based on the assumption of 19% prevalence (p) in school youth premarital sex by using design effect 1.5 and at 95% confidence interval with marginal error of 4%, and finally the sample size would be 540. Result: Of the calculated sample size, total of 508 respondents completely filled to the questionnaire in the study with response rate of 94.1%. Among a total participants 274(53.9%) were females and 234 (46.1%) were males. Among the study subjects, 224 (44.1%) of them reported that they had premarital sexual intercourse at the time of the survey, of which 106 (47.3%) for males and 118(52.7%) for females. The mean age of sexual intercourse was 17.5± 1.5 years for males and 16.8± 1.4 years for females. Youths who come from urban were more likely experience sex than youths from rural (AOR=3.432; 95%CI=1.971, 5.965). Youths who drink alcohol, smoke cigarette, chew chat and watch pornographic films were more likely experience sex than who did not (AOR= 2.538; 95%CI=( (1.378-4.674), (AOR= 6.715; 95%CI=1.422,31.711), ( AOR= 5.946; 95%CI=0.998, 35.445) and (AOR= 5.119; 95%CI=2.983, 8.784) respectively. Conclusion and recommendation: In general, from this particular study, we can conclude that the level of sexual and reproductive health risk perception towards STI including HIV/AIDS, among in school youths is generally minimal. Consequently, risky sexual practices are widely prevalent. School based information, education and behavioral change communication intervention including life skill training should be given
Probing Lambda-DGP Braneworld Model

description: In this article we study cosmic dynamics in the context of normal branch of DGP braneworld model. Using the current Planck data, we best fit the model and cosmological parameters in non-flat $Λ$DGP. With the transition redshift as a basic variable and statefinder parameters, our result shows that the Universe starts its accelerated expansion phase, slightly earlier than expected in $Λ$CDM cosmology. The result also alleviates the coincidence problem of the $Λ$CDM model.
Selling Data to a Competitor (Extended Abstract)

description: We study the costs and benefits of selling data to a competitor. Although selling all consumers' data may decrease total firm profits, there exist other selling mechanisms -- in which only some consumers' data is sold -- that render both firms better off. We identify the profit-maximizing mechanism, and show that the benefit to firms comes at a cost to consumers. We then construct Pareto-improving mechanisms, in which each consumers' welfare, as well as both firms' profits, increase. Finally, we show that consumer opt-in can serve as an instrument to induce firms to choose a Pareto-improving mechanism over a profit-maximizing one.

Laboratory Astrophysics

description: Laboratory astrophysics is a strong and vibrant field in the US with its primary national representation as a full Division of the American Astronomical Society (AAS). Laboratory Astrophysics is also represented in other major scientific societies such as the Astrochemistry subdivision of the American Chemical Society (ACS), the High Energy Density Laboratory Astrophysics (HEDLA) and the Division of Astrophysics (DAP) of the American Physical Society (APS) to cite a few. Laboratory Astrophysics and Astrochemistry is also well represented in federal agencies such as the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the National Science Foundation (NSF) where research programs are fully dedicated to the support of laboratory astrophysics research. Laboratory Astrophysics is also well represented in the Academic arena where Physics, Astronomy and/or Chemistry Departments in many universities host a laboratory Astrophysics or Astrochemistry curriculum. The increasing recognition of the field of laboratory astrophysics has been recently reinforced by its inclusion into the recommendations of the two most recent Decadal Surveys of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). I will discuss and present the many aspects and representations of Laboratory Astrophysics in the US and summarize the current efforts in the field.

description: Coulomb excitation of the exotic neutron-rich nucleus Ne26 on a Pb208 target was measured at 58 MeV/u in order to search for low-lying E1 strength above the neutron emission threshold. This radioactive beam experiment was carried out at the RIKEN Accelerator Research Facility. Using the invariant mass method in the Ne25+n channel, we observe a sizable amount of E1 strength between 6 and 10 MeV excitation energy. By performing a multipole decomposition of the differential cross section, a reduced dipole transition probability of B(E1)=0.49+-0.16e2fm2 is deduced, corresponding to 4.9+-1.6% of the Thomas-Reiche-Kuhn sum rule. For the first time, the decay pattern of low-lying strength in a neutron-rich nucleus is measured. The extracted decay pattern is not consistent with several mean-field theory descriptions of the pygmy states.
