description: The site selection for the AtLAST telescope was based on a set of criteria set up during the first part of the design study. I will briefly explain how these criteria led to two potential sites on the Chajnantor plateau. Site I is located near APEX in the ALMA concession, while site II is near the base of Cerro Toco and Cerro Chajnantor, in the Atacama Astronomical Park. To downselect both sites, we have designed, installed and operated two 24-metre high weather towers with 20 Hz sonic anemometers mounted at 12m and 24m height. The results of these measurements and their importance for the telescope design will be presented in a separate talk. During this site selection process, we have obtained a wealth of experience on a wide range of parameters such as the soil composition, the exposure to lightning strikes, snow coverage, accessibility and legal conditions to operate on either site. Based on this, the preferred and backup sites will be revealed in Angel Otarola's talk.

Object lessons : hereditary rights and ownership in a northwest coast museum
Creators: name: Blair, Graham Alexander
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Using as a case example an ownership dispute over a Gitksan origin story depicted on the carved doors of University of British Columbia's Museum of Anthropology (MOA), this thesis contributes to an understanding of the ways in which hereditary prerogatives are being exercised in new contexts on the Northwest Coast and the political ramifications this entails for both museums and traditional systems of ownership. Drawing on interviews, archival materials, and published sources, this thesis details the ongoing history of the 'Ksan doors, from their commissioning in the early-1970s, as both an architectural feature of MOA and an example of contemporary Northwest Coast art, to their emergence as the focal point of an ownership dispute twenty years later that was escalated, if not precipitated, by a 1991 interpretive-dance performance of the origin story that they depict that involved Hereditary Chief Kenneth B. Harris. The claims and actions of Chief Harris and a Gitksan woman named Dolly Watts (whom many identify as the source of the dispute) are considered both ethnographically and historically, with a final emphasis on how MOA has in this case become a forum around and through which cultural meanings and identities are being asserted.

description: We study the mass-metallicity relation of galactic systems with stellar masses larger than 10^9 Mo in Lambda-CDM scenarios by using chemical hydrodynamical simulations. We find that this relation arises naturally as a consequence of the formation of the structure in a hierarchical scenario. The hierarchical building up of the structure determines a characteristic stellar mass at M_c ~10^10.2 Moh^-1 which exhibits approximately solar metallicities from z ~ 3 to z=0. This characteristic mass separates galactic systems in two groups with massive ones forming most of their stars and metals at high redshift. We find evolution in the zero point and slope of the mass-metallicity relation driven mainly by the low mass systems which exhibit the larger variations in the chemical properties. Although stellar mass and circular velocity are directly related, the correlation between circular velocity and metallicity shows a larger evolution with redshift making this relation more appropriate to confront models and observations. The dispersion found in both relations is a function of the stellar mass and reflects the different dynamical history of evolution of the systems.

description: Two sites are currently being considered as potential locations for the Atacama Large Aperture Telescope (AtLAST) project. The science case has driven the design of the telescope with a dish diameter of 50 metres, but without a protective dome. Monitoring of the meteorological conditions, particularly the magnitude of the wind, is therefore considered very important to support the antenna/telescope design. Hence, our weather stations setup at both sites, operating since late 2022, include high sampling frequency wind anemometers at 12-m and 24-m above the ground level. Air temperature and wind, relevant for the long-term site characterisation, are provided from the ambient conditions monitoring done with sensors in a nearby weather tower owned and operated by the APEX radio telescope project. In this talk we will summarise the results from the study of atmospheric conditions at these potential sites, specifically: the wind power spectra for various conditions of wind, long-term wind speed and air temperature conditions for day and night as well as seasonal conditions. The information is all relevant for the AtLAST antenna design as to achieve the required pointing and tracking performance, but also important to support the science operations of the telescope.

description: We present broad-band light curves of nine supernovae ranging in redshift from 0.5 to 0.8. The supernovae were discovered as part of the ESSENCE project, and the light curves are a combination of Cerro Tololo 4-m and Hubble Space Telescope (HST) photometry. On the basis of spectra and/or light-curve fitting, eight of these objects are definitely Type Ia supernovae, while the classification of one is problematic. The ESSENCE project is a five-year endeavor to discover about 200 high-redshift Type Ia supernovae, with the goal of tightly constraining the time average of the equation-of-state parameter [w = p/(rho c^2)] of the "dark energy." To help minimize our systematic errors, all of our ground-based photometry is obtained with the same telescope and instrument. In 2003 the highest-redshift subset of ESSENCE supernovae was selected for detailed study with HST. Here we present the first photometric results of the survey. We find that all but one of the ESSENCE SNe have slowly declining light curves, and the sample is not representative of the low-redshift set of ESSENCE Type Ia supernovae. This is unlikely to be a sign of evolution in the population. We attribute the decline-rate distribution of HST events to a selection bias at the high-redshift edge of our sample and find that such a bias will infect other magnitude-limited SN Ia searches unless appropriate precautions are taken.

description: We discuss the stationary states of a model economy in which $N$ heterogeneous adaptive consumers purchase commodity bundles repeatedly from $P$ sellers. The system undergoes a transition from an inefficient to an efficient state as the number of consumers increases. In the latter phase, however, price fluctuations may be much larger than in the inefficient regime. Results from dynamical mean-field theory obtained for $N\to\infty$ compare fairly well with computer simulations.

description: Let $V$ be a finite dimensional complex linear space and let $G$ be an irreducible finite subgroup of $\GL(V)$. For a $G$-invariant lattice $Λ$ in $V$ of maximal rank, we give a description of structure of the complex torus $V/Λ$. In particular, we prove that for a wide class of groups, $V/Λ$ is isogenous to a self-product of an elliptic curve, and that in many cases $V/Λ$ is isomorphic to a product of mutually isogenous elliptic curves with complex multiplication. We show that there are $G$ and $Λ$ such that the complex torus $V/Λ$ is not an abelian variety but one can always replace $Λ$ by another $G$-invariant lattice $Δ$ such that $V/Δ$ is a product if elliptic curves with complex multiplication. We amplify these results with a criterion, in terms of the character and the Schur $\mathbf Q$-index of $G$-module $V$, of the existence of a nonzero $G$-invariant lattice in $V$.

Approximate Generalized Inverses with Iterative Refinement for $ε$-Accurate Preconditioning of Singular Systems

description: We introduce a new class of preconditioners to enable flexible GMRES to find a least-squares solution, and potentially the pseudoinverse solution, of large-scale sparse, asymmetric, singular, and potentially inconsistent systems. We develop the preconditioners based on a new observation that generalized inverses (i.e., $\boldsymbol{A}^{g}\in\{\boldsymbol{G}\mid\boldsymbol{A}\boldsymbol{G}\boldsymbol{A}=\boldsymbol{A}\}$) enable the preconditioned Krylov subspaces to converge in a single step. We then compute an approximate generalized inverse (AGI) efficiently using a hybrid incomplete factorization (HIF), which combines multilevel incomplete LU with rank-revealing QR on its final Schur complement. We define the criteria of $ε$-accuracy and stability of AGI to guarantee the convergence of preconditioned GMRES for consistent systems. For inconsistent systems, we fortify HIF with iterative refinement to obtain HIFIR, which allows accurate computations of the null-space vectors. By combining the two techniques, we then obtain a new solver, called PIPIT, for obtaining the pseudoinverse solutions for systems with low-dimensional null spaces. We demonstrate the robustness of HIF and HIFIR and show that they improve both accuracy and efficiency of the prior state of the art by orders of magnitude for systems with up to a million unknowns.

Subdiffusive dynamics and critical quantum correlations in a disorder-free localized Kitaev honeycomb model out of equilibrium

description: Disorder-free localization has recently emerged as a mechanism for ergodicity breaking in homogeneous lattice gauge theories. In this work we show that this mechanism can lead to unconventional states of quantum matter as the absence of thermalization lifts constraints imposed by equilibrium statistical physics. We study a Kitaev honeycomb model in a skew magnetic field subject to a quantum quench from a fully polarized initial product state and observe nonergodic dynamics as a consequence of disorder-free localization. We find that the system exhibits a subballistic power-law entanglement growth and quantum correlation spreading, which is otherwise typically associated with thermalizing systems. In the asymptotic steady state the Kitaev model develops volume-law entanglement and power-law decaying dimer quantum correlations even at a finite energy density. Our work sheds light onto the potential for disorder-free localized lattice gauge theories to realize quantum states in two dimensions with properties beyond what is possible in an equilibrium context.

EVIDENCE FOR A WEATHER PERSISTENCE EFFECT ON THE CORN, WHEAT AND SOYBEAN GROWING SEASON PRICE DYNAMICS

description: The growing season weather in the corn, wheat and soybean production areas of the United States is an important determinant of the U.S. supply of these commodities. The weather and climatology literature strongly suggest that during the summer months there is a degree of persistence in the North American weather patterns. Given this nonrandom character of weather and given that the corn, wheat and soybean belts are geographically concentrated enough to be dominated by a regional weather phenomenon, their futures markets are hypothesized to reflect this assimilation of nonrandom weather information as nonrandom price fluctuations. An empirical test of this question is the subject of this paper.

description: We consider a perturbed integrable system with one frequency, and the approximate dynamics for the actions given by averaging over the angle. The classical theory grants that, for a perturbation of order epsilon, the error of this approximation is O(epsilon) on a time scale O(1/epsilon), for epsilon -> 0. We replace this qualitative statement with a fully quantitative estimate; in certain cases, our approach also gives a reliable error estimate on time scales larger than 1/epsilon. A number of examples are presented; in many cases our estimator practically coincides with the envelope of the rapidly oscillating distance between the actions of the perturbed and of the averaged systems. Fairly good results are also obtained in some "resonant" cases, where the angular frequency is small along the trajectory of the system. Even though our estimates are proved theoretically, their computation in specific applications typically requires the numerical solution of a system of differential equations. However, the time scale for this system is smaller by a factor epsilon than the time scale for the perturbed system. For this reason, computation of our estimator is faster than the direct numerical solution of the perturbed system; the estimator is rapidly found also in cases when the time scale makes impossible (within reasonable CPU times) or unreliable the direct solution of the perturbed system.

The entangling and disentangling power of unitary transformations are unequal

description: We consider two capacity quantities associated with bipartite unitary gates: the entangling and the disentangling power. For two-qubit unitaries these two capacities are always the same. Here we prove that these capacities are different in general. We do so by constructing an explicit example of a qubit-qutrit unitary whose entangling power is maximal (2 ebits), but whose disentangling power is strictly less. A corollary is that there can be no unique ordering for unitary gates in terms of their ability to perform non-local tasks. Finally we show that in large dimensions, almost all bipartite unitaries have entangling and disentangling capacities close to the maximal possible (and thus in high dimensions the difference in these capacities is small for almost all unitaries).

description: WELL-BEING FOR US - Manual for families  UPRIGHT is a scientifically tested psychoeducational resilience intervention based in schools, designed to promote the mental wellbeing and prevent mental disorders of adolescents. It uses a whole-school approach, involving adolescents, their families and the entire school community. The intervention consists of two programmes called WELL-BEING FOR US and WELL-BEING FOR ALL. Each programme is described in its corresponding Manual. This file contains the WELL-BEING FOR US - Manual for families. Families should be involved whenever possible in the UPRIGHT intervention since they play an important role in adolescents resilience learning. This manual is for families wishing to learn and practise the resilience skills of the UPRIGHT intervention on their own. They are the same resilience skills and components that adolescents are learning, so they both share the same language. This manual briefly explains each skill and component of the programme and has skill-specific exercises for the families. These exercises can be done individually or as a family group.

Efficient routing of telephone calls in a circuit-switched network
Creators: name: Braun, Darrel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Every year Telus invests tens of millions of dollars to increase the capacity of their circuit-switched network in response to growth in demand. Growth has accelerated in recent years due to rapid increases in data and Internet traffic, and the introduction of flatrate long-distance services. This in turn has forced Telus to accelerate their investments in the network to keep pace with demand. Circuit-switched technology is inefficient in comparison to newer packet-switched technology, especially for data, which constitutes a large and increasing portion of network traffic. In the near future Telus intends to begin the move away from a circuit-switched to a packet-switched network. Investments in the circuit-switched network will have very little value after the move to a packet-switched network. Therefore Telus is looking for ways to reduce the investments needed in their circuit-switched network. One possibility for reducing investments is to use the existing network more efficiently by improving the call routing. Every call has an origin switch and a destination switch. Most calls are routed on a circuit linking the two switches directly. Call routing concerns processing of calls where the direct circuit is either fully occupied or does not exist, in which case calls are routed indirectly through one or more intermediate switches. Presently Telus uses a method called Fixed-Hierarchical Routing. This is a fairly inflexible scheme that routes overflow calls through one of only two of the 33 lower mainland switches. The project team is investigating Sequential Alternate Routing which would allow calls to be routed through any of the 33 switches. A key tool in this investigation is a network simulator that was written for this project. The simulator will be used to compare the performance of various new routing schemes, and the simulation results will be used when recommending a scheme to Telus. The simulator was subjected to a number of tests to verify that it functions as intended. A key finding of those tests is that the simulator tends to underestimate the number of calls blocked due to network congestion, but that this effect can be managed through the judicious choice of the simulation run parameters. The tests also led to insights into the choice of appropriate measurement criteria comparing the performance of routing schemes.

description: The success of deep learning in many real-world tasks has triggered an intense effort to understand the power and limitations of deep learning in the training and generalization of complex tasks, so far with limited progress. In this work, we study the statistical mechanics of learning in Deep Linear Neural Networks (DLNNs) in which the input-output function of an individual unit is linear. Despite the linearity of the units, learning in DLNNs is nonlinear, hence studying its properties reveals some of the features of nonlinear Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). Importantly, we solve exactly the network properties following supervised learning using an equilibrium Gibbs distribution in the weight space. To do this, we introduce the Back-Propagating Kernel Renormalization (BPKR), which allows for the incremental integration of the network weights starting from the network output layer and progressing backward until the first layer's weights are integrated out. This procedure allows us to evaluate important network properties, such as its generalization error, the role of network width and depth, the impact of the size of the training set, and the effects of weight regularization and learning stochasticity. BPKR does not assume specific statistics of the input or the task's output. Furthermore, by performing partial integration of the layers, the BPKR allows us to compute the properties of the neural representations across the different hidden layers. We have proposed an extension of the BPKR to nonlinear DNNs with ReLU. Surprisingly, our numerical simulations reveal that despite the nonlinearity, the predictions of our theory are largely shared by ReLU networks in a wide regime of parameters. Our work is the first exact statistical mechanical study of learning in a family of DNNs, and the first successful theory of learning through successive integration of DoFs in the learned weight space.

description: We present a mosaic of five XMM-Newton observations of the nearby ($z=0.0594$) merging galaxy cluster Abell 3266. We use the spectro-imaging capabilities of \xmm to build precise (projected) temperature, entropy, pressure and Fe abundance maps. The temperature map exhibits a curved, large-scale hot region, associated with elevated entropy levels, very similar to that foreseen in numerical simulations. The pressure distribution is disturbed in the central region but is remarkably regular on large scales. The Fe abundance map indicates that metals are inhomogeneously distributed across the cluster. Using simple physical calculations and comparison with numerical simulations, we discuss in detail merging scenarios that can reconcile the observed gas density, temperature and entropy structure, and the galaxy density distribution.

description: We present an analytic formalism describing structural properties of random uncorrelated networks with arbitrary degree distributions. The formalism allows to calculate the main network characteristics like: the position of the phase transition at which a giant component first forms, the mean component size below the phase transition, the size of the giant component and the average path length above the phase transition. We apply the approach to classical random graphs of Erdos and Renyi, single-scale networks with exponential degree distributions and scale-free networks with arbitrary scaling exponents and structural cut-offs. In all the cases we obtain a very good agreement between results of numerical simulations and our analytical predictions.

description: Irrigation water (including rainfall) that infiltrates the subsurface carries salts, pesticide and fertilizer residues, and other trace elements, thus causing a contamination of aquifers and soils. A similar situation occurs when irrigating with saline groundwater (aquifers containing saline water often are found in arid and semi-arid regions, where agricultural production depends critically on groundwater irrigation). Evaporation of the irrigation water increases salt concentration, causing salinization of soils and aquifers. Although not immediately noticeable, these quality deterioration processes will have long-term effects and therefore require careful management. The paper describes a general framework for the intertemporal management of a conjunctive ground and surface water irrigation system, taking into account the quality deterioration processes. Policy implications are discussed and the results are compared with those that come from a model which neglects quality effects.

description: We examine, as a correction to the central exclusive Higgs boson production in $pp$ collisions at the LHC, the rescattering of gluonic ladders off the proton. As usual, at the lowest order the hard part of this process can be described as a fusion of two hard gluonic ladders. We calculate corrections to this hard amplitude which are due to rescattering of these ladders. These corrections, which contain high mass diffractive excitations of the proton, have not yet been taken into account by the usual soft survival probabilities. We find that the correction due to the exchange of a single hard rescattering is negative, large and infrared sensitive. As a first step towards a more reliable description we therefore replace the rescattering exchange by a unitarized amplitude using the BK equation which generates the saturation scale $Q_s(x)$. We also include a soft gap survival probability factor. We discuss the results and outline possible future strategies.

description: The purpose of this research bulletin is to summarize the pricing performance of professional market advisory services for the 1995-2000 corn and soybean crops. The pricing performance results over 1995-2000 suggest several key findings. First, advisory programs in corn do not consistently beat market benchmarks, but they do consistently beat the farmer benchmark. Second, advisory programs in soybeans tend to beat both market and farmer benchmarks. Third, in terms of 50/50 revenue, advisory programs only marginally beat market benchmarks, but consistently beat the farmer benchmark. Overall, there is mixed evidence that advisory programs as a group outperform market benchmarks, while substantial evidence exists that advisory programs as a group outperform the farmer benchmarks. Caution should be used when considering the results, due to the relatively small sample of crop years available for analysis. In particular, the presence of sharp downward price trends in most crop years makes it difficult to determine whether the 1995-2000 sample provides a statistically reliable picture of future differences in pricing performance.

description: We measure the evolution of clustering for galaxies with different spectral types from 6495 galaxies with 17.5<=I_AB<=24 and measured spectroscopic redshift in the first epoch VIMOS-VLT Deep Survey. We classify our sample into 4 classes, based on the fit of well-defined galaxy spectral energy distributions on observed multi-color data. We measure the projected function wp(rp) and estimate the best-fit parameters for a power-law real-space correlation function. We find the clustering of early-spectral-type galaxies to be markedly stronger than that of late-type galaxies at all redshifts up to z<=1.2. At z~0.8, early-type galaxies display a correlation length r_0=4.8+/-0.9h^{-1}Mpc, while late types have r_0=2.5+/-0.4h^{-1}Mpc. The clustering of these objects increases up to r_0=3.42+/-0.7h^{-1}Mpc for z~1.4. The relative bias between early- and late-type galaxies within our magnitude-limited survey remains approximately constant with b~1.7-1.8 from z~=0.2 up to z~=1, with indications for a decrease at z>1.2, due to the growth in clustering of the star-forming population. We find similar results when splitting the sample into `red' and `blue' galaxies using the observed color bi-modality. When compared to the expected linear growth of mass fluctuations, a natural interpretation of these observations is that: (a) the assembly of massive early type galaxies is already mostly complete in the densest dark matter halos at z~=1; (b) luminous late-type galaxies are located in higher-density, more clustered regions of the Universe at z~=1.5 than at present, indicating that star formation activity is progressively increasing, going back in time, in the higher-density peaks that today are mostly dominated by old galaxies.

description: Mean-variance analysis in the form of risk programming has a long, productive history in agricultural economics research. And risk programming continues to be used despite well known theoretical results that choices based on mean-variance analysis are not consistent with choices based on expected utility maximization. This paper demonstrates that the multivariate distribution of returns used in risk programming must be elliptically symmetric in order for mean-variance analysis to be consistent with expected utility choices. Then a statistical test for elliptical symmetry is developed and demonstrated. This test enables researchers to determine when data will produce significant differences between risk programming choices and expected utility choices.

description: This paper is a self-contained introduction to the concept and methodology of "value at risk," which is a new tool for measuring an entity's exposure to market risk. We explain the concept of value at risk, and then describe in detail the three methods for computing it: historical simulation; the variance-covariance method; and Monte Carlo or stochastic simulation. We then discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the three methods for computing value at risk. Finally, we briefly describe some alternative measures of market risk.

New advances in photoionisation codes: How and what for?

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The study of photoionised gas in planetary nebulae (PNe) has played a major role in the achievement, over the years, of a better understanding of a number of physical processes, pertinent to a broader range of fields than that of PNe studies, spanning from atomic physics to stellar evolution theories. Whilst empirical techniques are routinely employed for the analysis of the emission line spectra of these objects, the accurate interpretation of the observational data often requires the solution of a set of coupled equations, via the application of a photoionisation/plasma code. A number of large-scale codes have been developed since the late sixties, using various analytical or statistical techniques for the transfer of continuum radiation, mainly under the assumption of spherical symmetry and a few in 3D. These codes have been proved to be powerful and in many cases essential tools, but a clear idea of the underlying physical processes and assumptions is necessary in order to avoid reaching misleading conclusions. A brief review of the field of photoionisation today is given here, with emphasis on the recent developments, including the expansion of the models to the 3D domain. Attention is given to the identification of new available observational constraints and how these can used to extract useful information from realistic models. (abridged)
