description: The dairy industry has been utilizing computer technology for over 30 years. Dairy Herd Improvement Associations have made tremendous strides improving dairy records through the use of computers. The basis for these types of dairy records has been the large, centrally located, mainframe computer. However, in the last few years there has been a technological explosion in the development of small, reliable, relatively inexpensive microcomputers. This now provides dairymen and veterinarians with the opportunity of obtaining locally controlled computerized records. Although computer technology is presently available for computerized dairy record-keeping, the programs required to run the computers and make them a functional record-keeping system have lagged behind in development. Only recently have programs become available.

description: We present a novel deep learning framework for flow field predictions in irregular domains when the solution is a function of the geometry of either the domain or objects inside the domain. Grid vertices in a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) domain are viewed as point clouds and used as inputs to a neural network based on the PointNet architecture, which learns an end-to-end mapping between spatial positions and CFD quantities. Using our approach, (i) the network inherits desirable features of unstructured meshes (e.g., fine and coarse point spacing near the object surface and in the far field, respectively), which minimizes network training cost; (ii) object geometry is accurately represented through vertices located on object boundaries, which maintains boundary smoothness and allows the network to detect small changes between geometries; and (iii) no data interpolation is utilized for creating training data; thus accuracy of the CFD data is preserved. None of these features are achievable by extant methods based on projecting scattered CFD data into Cartesian grids and then using regular convolutional neural networks. Incompressible laminar steady flow past a cylinder with various shapes for its cross section is considered. The mass and momentum of predicted fields are conserved. We test the generalizability of our network by predicting the flow around multiple objects as well as an airfoil, even though only single objects and no airfoils are observed during training. The network predicts the flow fields hundreds of times faster than our conventional CFD solver, while maintaining excellent to reasonable accuracy.
New Linear Codes as Quasi-Twisted Codes from Long Constacyclic Codes

description: One of the most important and challenging problems in coding theory is to determine the optimal values of the parameters of a linear code and to explicitly construct codes with optimal parameters, or as close to the optimal values as possible. The class of quasi-twisted (QT) codes has been very promising in this regard. Over the past few decades various search algorithms to construct QT codes with better parameters have been employed. Most of these algorithms (such as ASR) start by joining constacyclic codes of smaller lengths to obtain QT codes of longer lengths. There has been an algorithm that works in the opposite way that constructs shorter QT codes from long constacyclic codes. We modified and generalized this algorithm and obtained new linear codes via its implementation. We also observe that the new algorithm is related to the ASR algorithm.
Career guidance for the long term unemployed : case studies on the experience of being in a job readiness program
Creators: name: Coulombe, Michelle A.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The experiences of three Caucasian single mothers, who have been receiving social assistance for at least nine months were explored using a case study design. The women, ages 38-46, attended a job readiness program in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia. It included 26 weeks of life skills training, career testing and exploration, job search strategies, computer training, academic upgrading, and work placements. Information was gathered through interviews, researcher observations, documents, follow-up phone calls, and phone calls to program staff. Each case is presented individually and common themes as well as the uniqueness of each case are discussed. All of the women came onto welfare because of a relationship break. During the program, their lives were exceptionally busy with homework and childcare, and some of them felt overwhelmed. Other emotions experienced were feeling nervous, scared, depressed, and proud. Counselling issues raised included confidence, assertiveness, self-esteem, empowerment, self-worth, and family of origin. Self-awareness of their personality, skills, values and interests increased during the program, contributing to their career development. All three women reported being very satisfied with the program.

Unstable delayed feedback control to change sign of coupling strength for weakly coupled limit cycle oscillators
Creators: name: Novičenko, Viktor

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Adaptation and Self-Organizing Systems (nlin.AO)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Weakly coupled limit cycle oscillators can be reduced into a system of weakly coupled phase models. These phase models are helpful to analyze the synchronization phenomena. For example, a phase model of two oscillators has a one-dimensional differential equation for the evolution of the phase difference. The existence of fixed points determines frequency-locking solutions. By treating each oscillator as a black-box possessing a single input and a single output, one can investigate various control algorithms to change the synchronization of the oscillators. In particular, we are interested in a delayed feedback control algorithm. Application of this algorithm to the oscillators after a subsequent phase reduction should give the same phase model as in the control-free case, but with a rescaled coupling strength. The conventional delayed feedback control is limited to the change of magnitude but does not allow the change of sign of the coupling strength. In this work, we present a modification of the delayed feedback algorithm supplemented by an additional unstable degree of freedom, which is able to change the sign of the coupling strength. Various numerical calculations performed with Landau-Stuart and FitzHugh-Nagumo oscillators show successful switching between an in-phase and anti-phase synchronization using the provided control algorithm. Additionally, we show that the control force becomes non-invasive if our objective is stabilization of an unstable phase difference for two coupled oscillators.

description: We present a complete description of angular distributions in the presence of new interactions for the process e+ e- -> Z gamma with polarized beams at future linear colliders, by considering the most general form-factors allowed by gauge invariance. We include the possibility of CP violation, and classify the couplings according to their CP properties. Chirality conserving and chirality violating couplings give rise to distinct dependence on beam polarization. We present a comprehensive discussion including both types of couplings and provide a detailed comparison of the effects due to each. We discuss some selected asymmetries which would enable isolating effects of the CP-violating form-factors. We also present sensitivities on the corresponding couplings achievable at a future linear collider with realistic polarization and luminosity.

Reproductive Performance and Recording Systems
Creators: name: Williamson, Norman B.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1980

description: Records are important for the evaluation of herd reproductive performance. Therefore veterinarians should know how to examine and analyse records to help diagnose the causes of inadequate reproductive performance in cattle enterprises whether due to disease or management. It is more likely that a diagnosis of the cause of inadequate reproductive performance in a herd can be made by thorough examination and analysis of herd records than by serological testing or microbiological culture. However, most veterinarians start to investigate the inadequate reproductive performance by examining cows and obtaining samples for serology or biochemistry. Many veterinarians argue that this must be done, because this is what farmers expect. It can also be argued that farmers expect this approach because this is the approach they have grown accustomed to.

description: Lung cancer classification in screening computed tomography (CT) scans is one of the most crucial tasks for early detection of this disease. Many lives can be saved if we are able to accurately classify malignant/cancerous lung nodules. Consequently, several deep learning based models have been proposed recently to classify lung nodules as malignant or benign. Nevertheless, the large variation in the size and heterogeneous appearance of the nodules makes this task an extremely challenging one. We propose a new Progressive Growing Channel Attentive Non-Local (ProCAN) network for lung nodule classification. The proposed method addresses this challenge from three different aspects. First, we enrich the Non-Local network by adding channel-wise attention capability to it. Second, we apply Curriculum Learning principles, whereby we first train our model on easy examples before hard ones. Third, as the classification task gets harder during the Curriculum learning, our model is progressively grown to increase its capability of handling the task at hand. We examined our proposed method on two different public datasets and compared its performance with state-of-the-art methods in the literature. The results show that the ProCAN model outperforms state-of-the-art methods and achieves an AUC of 98.05% and an accuracy of 95.28% on the LIDC-IDRI dataset. Moreover, we conducted extensive ablation studies to analyze the contribution and effects of each new component of our proposed method.

description: An improved analysis of the $b\to s+γ$ decay in the minimal flavor violating case is given taking into account additional contributions in the supersymmetric sector which enter in the next-to-leading-order (NLO) and are enhanced by $\tanβ$ factors. Specifically, we compute a set of twenty one-loop diagrams to give the most complete analysis to date of the NLO supersymmetric corrections. These modifications are computed from the effective charged Higgs and neutral Higgs couplings involving twelve loop diagrams for the charged Higgs sector and eight loop diagrams for the neutral Higgs sector. While the computations of these corrections are available in the literature, their full forms including the complex phase dependence has not be considered. Our analysis takes account of the full allowed set of twenty one-loop diagrams and is more general since it also includes the full dependence on CP phases in non universal sugra and MSSM models. A numerical analysis is carried out to estimate the size of the corrections to $b\to s+γ$. We also briefly discuss the implications of these results for the search for supersymmetry.

description: Several different infectious agents may cause acute undifferentiated diarrhea in calves. The predominant clinical sign in all of these diseases is diarrhea; therefore, they are difficult to diagnose and differentiate from each other. Because calf diarrhea is a complex of diseases, it is difficult to control reliably. Improper management is one of the most important causes of herd problems. Thus, for prevention and control, the emphasis should be placed on management of the beef herd throughout the winter and especially at calving time.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: The 1/N_c expansion of QCD provides a valuable semiquantitative tool to study baryon scattering amplitudes and the short-lived baryon resonances embedded within them. A generalization of methods originally applied in chiral soliton models in the 1980's provides the key to deriving a rigorous 1/N_c expansion. One obtains model-independent relations among amplitudes that impose mass and width degeneracies among resonances of various quantum numbers. Phenomenological evidence confirms that patterns of resonant decay predicted by 1/N_c agree with data. One may extend the analysis to subleading orders in 1/N_c, where again agreement with data is evident, in both meson-baryon scattering and pion photoproduction.

Treatment of Neonatal Calf Diarrhea
Creators: name: Butler, D. G.
Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 1980

description: When it comes to talking about therapy of calf diarrhea, as clinicians, we are faced with a diagnostic dilemma. Generally, we don't know the exact cause of the diarrheal illness in terms of the type of bacterial or viral agent(s) involved. We don't know if bacteremia or septicemia is present or is imminent as far as the young neonate is concerned and thus we don't know whether to include antibiotic therapy within our overall treatment regime. We don't know the pre-diarrheal body weight of the patient by which we could easily ascertain the fluid requirements and therefore we must resort to some other method of assessing body water loss. Likewise, we don't know the pre-diarrheal hematocrit value or total serum protein concentration of the animal and therefore can't rely on simple laboratory aids in order to calculate body water loss. We often don't know the immunoglobulin status of the animal so as to ascertain the need for plasma, serum or whole blood.

Magnesium Oxide Contraindicated as a Cathartic for Cattle in the Absence of Rumen Acidosis

description: Cathartics are chemicals that promote defecation. Saline cathartics are salts of poorly absorbed ions for example the cation magesium or the anions sulphate, phosphate, tartrate or citrate. Although these chemicals are not absorbed from the intestine they are osmotically active and attract and retain fluid within the intestinal tract and in this way promote defecation. Saline cathartics that are commonly used in cattle practice include magnesium sulphate (Epsom salts), sodium sulphate (Glauber's salts), magnesium oxide and magnesium hydroxide. These latter two compounds are primarily used as antacids in the treatment of rumen acidosis but they also have a cathartic effect. In fact, magnesium oxide and magnesium hydroxide are ideal chemicals for the treatment of grain overload in cattle. The combination of antacid activity which neutralizes excess acid in the rumen and cathartic activity which stimulates passage of toxic material out of the digestive tract is very beneficial. Tables I and 2 list some commercially available antacids for use in ruminants for the treatment of grain overload or acid indigestion. Generally, the powders contain magnesium oxide as the active ingredient or a mixture of magnesium oxide and magnesium hydroxide. Boluses, on the other hand usually contain magnesium hydroxide. Although these compounds are very efficacious as antacids in the treatment of grain overload, a problem associated with their use has recently been noted at O.V.C. A number of adult cattle have, at presentation, exhibited a profound metabolic alkalosis with no detectable abomasal abnormality. A frequent history in these cases has been the prior administration via stomach tube or by drench bottle of magnesium oxide or magnesium hydroxide as a cathartic or rumen stimulant for the treatment of acute or chronic anorexia. Invariably these compounds have been administered as one of the aforementioned commercially available antacid products. Accordingly, several questions arose as a result of these baffling cases.

description: Specific activator and repressor transcription factors which bind to specific regulator DNA sequences, play an important role in gene activity control. Interactions between genes coding such transcription factors should explain the different stable or sometimes oscillatory gene activities characteristic for different tissues. Starting with the model P53-MDM2 described into [6] and the process described into [5] we developed a new model of this interaction. Choosing the delay as a bifurcation parameter we study the direction and stability of the bifurcating periodic solutions. Some numerical examples are finally given for justifying the theoretical results.

description: We show that the norm squared amplitudes with respect to a local orthonormal basis (the classical restriction) of finite quantum systems on one-dimensional lattices can be exponentially well approximated by Gibbs states of local Hamiltonians (i.e., are quasi-locally Gibbsian) if the classical conditional mutual information (CMI) of any connected tripartition of the lattice is rapidly decaying in the width of the middle region. For injective matrix product states, we moreover show that the classical CMI decays exponentially, whenever the collection of matrix product operators satisfies a 'purity condition'; a notion previously established in the theory of random matrix products. We furthermore show that violations of the purity condition enables a generalized notion of error correction on the virtual space, thus indicating the non-generic nature of such violations. We make this intuition more concrete by constructing a probabilistic model where purity is a typical property. The proof of our main result makes extensive use of the theory of random matrix products, and may find applications elsewhere.

description: We analyze the decays $B^0 \to a^\pm_0 π^\mp$ and $B^{-,0} \to f_0 K^{-,0}$ and show that within the factorization approximation a phenomenological consistent picture can be obtained. We show that in this approach the $O_6$ operator provides the dominant contributions to the suppressed channel $B^0 \to a^+_0 π^-$. When the $a_0$ is considered a two quark state, evaluation of the annihilation form factor using Perturbative $QCD$ implies that this contribution is not negligible, and furthermore it can interfere constructively or destructively with other penguin contributions. As a consequence of this ambiguity, the positive identification of $B^0 \to π^+ a_0^-$ can not distinguish between the two or four quark assignment of the $a_0$. According to our calculation, a best candidate to distinguish the nature of $a_0$ scalar is $Br(B^-\to π^0a_0^-)$ since the predictions for a four quark model is one order of magnitude smaller than for the two quark assignment. When the scalars are seen as two quarks states, simple theoretical assumptions based on SU(2) isospin symmetry provide relations between different B decays involving one scalar and one pseudoscalar meson.

Representation and the production of space : aboriginal women in Downtown Eastside, Vancouver
Creators: name: England, Jennifer
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: In the context of aboriginal women living in Downtown Eastside, Vancouver, I explore the relationship between power, representation, and the body and consider: how do discursive productions of visual culture inscribe and discipline subjectivity and space; and how do aboriginal women negotiate and resist the material consequences of those representations? Addressing these questions I use mixed feminist methods, including in-depth interviews, participant observation, and popular education workshops. I first explore aboriginal women's conflicting perceptions and experiences of the Downtown Eastside 'community'. Through a consideration of gender, race, class, sexuality and nation, I argue that a unified or cohesive aboriginal women's experience of community is disrupted. Given this complexity I examine how photography exhibits, a poster, and documentary film essentialize subjectivity and space. I argue that the exhibit Heroines: Portraits of Women in the Downtown Eastside reaffirms criminalized identities by portraying women as drug addicts and prostitutes. Against these representations, I analyze a community public arts project She Counts. Committed to the politics of selfrepresentation, this photography exhibit offers a more nuanced understanding of women living in the Downtown Eastside by offering a complex cultural reading of aboriginal culture and actively confronts aboriginal women's experiences of discrimination and racism. It also destabilizes the tight borders of the inner city by portraying women's flexible use of urban space. Produced by the Vancouver Police Department, the Missing Women's Reward Poster and the documentary film, Through a Blue Lens, in contrast, map tight boundaries of the inner city community, inscribing it as a homogenous space of deviance. However, unlike the poster, Through a Blue Lens provides a nuanced reading of subjectivity on the Downtown Eastside, by humanizing its residents. Drawing upon critical theorists of representation, I argue that representations are not totalizing and therefore provide an "excess" of meaning through which resistant readings are possible. Finally, I explore the ways aboriginal women negotiate essentialized representations of their bodies by exploring the ways they are rendered visible and invisible by police officers. My research suggests that although they may be marked in similar ways (due to their gender, race, and class) women experience discrimination and racism differently, revealing that both visibility and invisibility are representational and embodied strategies of resistance.

description: A transimpedance amplifier has been designed for scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). The amplifier features low noise (limited by the Johnson noise of the 1 GΩ feedback resistor at low input current and low frequencies), sufficient bandwidth for most STM applications (50 kHz at 35 pF input capacitance), a large dynamic range (0.1 pA--50 nA without range switching), and a low input voltage offset. The amplifier is also suited for placing its first stage into the cryostat of a low-temperature STM, minimizing the input capacitance and reducing the Johnson noise of the feedback resistor. The amplifier may also find applications for specimen current imaging and electron-beam-induced current measurements in scanning electron microscopy and as a photodiode amplifier with a large dynamic range. This paper also discusses the sources of noise including the often neglected effect of non-balanced input impedance of operational amplifiers and describes how to accurately measure and adjust the frequency response of low-current transimpedance amplifiers.

description: We present results on the unique reconstruction of a semi-infinite Jacobi operator from the spectra of the operator with two different boundary conditions. This is the discrete analogue of the Borg-Marchenko theorem for Schr{ö}dinger operators in the half-line. Furthermore, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for two real sequences to be the spectra of a Jacobi operator with different boundary conditions.
description: In this slightly revised version we have reworded some of the theorems, and we updated two references
The Utilisation of EU and US Trade Preferences for Developing Countries in the Agri-Food Sector

description: We calculate various indicators of the utilisation of preferences granted to developing countries by the EU and the US in the agricultural, food and fisheries sector. We conclude that only a very small proportion of the imports eligible to these preferences is actually exported outside a preferential regime. The rate of utilisation is therefore high. However, the flow of imports from poorest countries remains very limited in spite of rather generous tariff preferences, which leads to question the overall impact of the preferential agreements. In addition, preferential regimes overlap, and in such cases some regimes are systematically preferred to others. We use econometric estimates of the (latent) cost of using a given preference in order to explain why particular regimes are used. We focus on possible explanations, such as the cumulation rules (that restrict the use of materials originating from other countries), fixed administrative costs, and differences in the preferential margin.
Polyhedral Realizations of Crystal Bases for Quantum Algebras of Finite Types

description: Polyhedral realization of crystal bases is one of the methods for describing the crystal base $B(\infty)$ explicitly. This method can be applied to symmetrizable Kac-Moody types. We can also apply this method to the crystal bases $B(λ)$ of integrable highest weight modules and of modified quantum algebras. But, the explicit forms of the polyhedral realizations of crystal bases $B(\infty)$ and $B(λ)$ are only given in the case of arbitrary rank 2, of $A_n$ and of $A^{(1)}_n$. So, we will give the polyhedral realizations of crystal bases $B(\infty)$ and $B(λ)$ for all simple Lie algebras in this paper.

Microwave sky and the local Rees-Sciama effect

description: The microwave sky shows unexpected features at the largest angular scales, among them the alignments of the dipole, quadrupole and octopole. Motivated by recent X-ray cluster studies, we investigate the possibility that local structures at the 100 h^(-1) Mpc scale could be responsible for such correlations. These structures give rise to a local Rees-Sciama contribution to the microwave sky that may amount to Delta T/T ~ 10^(-5) at the largest angular scales. We model local structures by a spherical overdensity (Lemaitre-Tolman-Bondi model) and assume that the Local Group is falling toward the centre. We superimpose the local Rees-Sciama effect on a statistically isotropic, gaussian sky. As expected we find alignments among low multipoles, but a closer look reveals that they do not agree with the type of correlations revealed by the data.

description: The storage and transfer of energy through quantum batteries are key elements in quantum networks. Here, we propose a charger design based on transitionless quantum driving (TQD), which allows for inherent control over the battery charging time, with the speed of charging coming at the cost of the internal energy available to implement the dynamics. Moreover, the TQD-based charger is also shown to be locally stable, which means that the charger can be disconnected from the quantum battery (QB) at any time after the energy transfer to the QB, with no fully energy backflow to the charger. This provides a highly charged QB in an always-on asymptotic regime. We illustrate the robustness of the QB charge against time fluctuations and the full control over the evolution time for a feasible TQD-based charger.

Detection of multipartite entanglement in the vicinity of symmetric Dicke states
Creators: name: Toth, Geza
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We present methods for detecting entanglement around symmetric Dicke states. In particular, we consider N-qubit symmetric Dicke states with N/2 excitations. In the first part of the paper we show that for large N these states have the smallest overlap possible with states without genuine multi-partite entanglement. Thus these states are particulary well suited for the experimental examination of multi-partite entanglement. We present fidelity-based entanglement witness operators for detecting multipartite entanglement around these states. In the second part of the paper we consider entanglement criteria, somewhat similar to the spin squeezing criterion, based on the moments or variances of the collective spin operators. Surprisingly, these criteria are based on an upper bound for variances for separable states. We present both criteria detecting entanglement in general and criteria detecting only genuine multi-partite entanglement. The collective operator measured for our criteria is an important physical quantity: Its expectation value essentially gives the intensity of the radiation when a coherent atomic cloud emits light.
