description: A concept of SUb-atmospheric Radio-frequency Engine (SURE) designed for near space environment is reported. The antenna wrapping quartz tube consists of two solenoid coils with variable separation distance, and is driven by radio-frequency power supply (13.56~MHz-1~kW). The discharge involves inductive coupling under each solenoid coil and capacitive coupling between them. This novel scheme can ionize the filling air efficiently for the entire pressure range of 32\sim 5332 Pa in near space. The formed plasma density and temperature are up to 2.23\times 10^{18}~m^{-3} and 2.79 eV, respectively. The influences of separation distance, input power, filling pressure and the number of solenoid turns on discharge are presented in detail. This air-breathing electric propulsion system has no plasma-facing electrode and does not require external magnetic field, and is thereby durable and structurally compact and light.

description: Five machine learning techniques-- classical nonlinear regression (NLR), multi-layer perceptrons (MLP), support vector machines (SVM) with radial-basis function (RBF) kernel, k nearest neighbour (kNN) and decision tree (DT) schemes-- were applied for regression of velocity distribution along the depth of debris flows by using experimental data of steady uniform open-channel flows. Programs coded in Python and package scikit-learn were developed for machine learning analyses. Experimental results of two cases conducted and published by Matsumura and Mizuyama (1990) were adopted for training and prediction curves of the velocity distributions using the five different machine learning techniques. Three theoretical formulas were employed for comparison and investigation, the power-law derived by Takahashi (1978) based on Bagnold dilatant flow, theory modified by Matsumura and Mizuyama (1990), and the two-region formula derived by Su et al. (1993). R-squared scores for each case were calculated to check the fitness of the machine learning results to the experimental data and then to verify the fitness of the theoretical formulas to the machine learning predictions. The quantified results revealed that machine learning schemes provide powerful approaches for building prediction models for velocity distribution of debris flows.

description: Let $G$ be a connected graph with vertex set $V(G)$ and edge set $E(G)$. For an ordered $k$-partition $Π=\{Q_1,\ldots,Q_k\}$ of $V(G)$, the representation of a vertex $v \in V(G)$ with respect to $Π$ is the $k$-vectors $r(v|Π)=(d(v,Q_1),\ldots,d(v,Q_k))$, where $d(v,Q_i)$ is the distance between $v$ and $Q_i$. The partition $Π$ is a resolving partition if $r(u|Π)\neq r(v|Π)$, for each pair of distinct vertices $u,v \in V(G)$. The minimum $k$ for which there is a resolving $k$-partition of $V(G)$ is the partition dimension of $G$. A vertex $w\in V(G)$ strongly resolves two distinct vertices $u,v \in V(G)$ if $u$ belongs to a shortest $v-w$ path or $v$ belongs to a shortest $u-w$ path. An ordered set $W=\{w_{1},\ldots, w_{t}\}\subseteq V(G)$ is a strong resolving set for $G$ if for every two distinct vertices $u$ and $v$ of $G$ there exists a vertex $w\in W$ which strongly resolves $u$ and $v$. A strong metric basis of $G$ is a strong resolving set of minimal cardinality. The cardinality of a strong metric basis is called strong metric dimension of $G$. In this paper, we determine the partition dimension and strong metric dimension of a chain cycle constructed by even cycles and a chain cycle constructed by odd cycles.

description: We present a simple quantum-mechanical estimate of the cosmological constant of a Newtonian Universe. We first mimic the dynamics of a Newtonian spacetime by means of a nonrelativistic quantum mechanics for the matter contents of the Universe (baryonic and dark) within a fixed (i.e., nondynamical) Euclidean spacetime. Then we identify an operator that plays, on the matter states, a role analogous to that played by the cosmological constant. Finally we prove that there exists a quantum state for the matter fields, in which the above mentioned operator has an expectation value equal to the cosmological constant of the given Newtonian Universe.

Organizational Bargaining

Year: 2001
Subjects: Institutional and Behavioral Economics

description: We consider a two-party bargaining model in which the two parties are organizations rather than individuals. Members of an organization have similar utilities for the agreements reached, but different utilities for conflict. We treat this as an n-person game in which the players are the members of the two organizations. We look for the core of this game, and find that the core is always non-empty. In some cases, however (namely, when members of the two organizations are very hawk-like, or when the decision-making mechanisms are very rigorous), we find that the only core outcome ot the game is continued conflict. Some discussion is included as to how the group leaders may be able to facilitate an agreement, and, conversely, as to how the most hawkish members of the organizations may be able to cooperate so as to bring about the unraveling of an agreement.

description: Gold nanoclusters encapsulated with organic molecules are of great interest for its possible applications in the fields of molecular electronics, catalysis and medical science. Here we demonstrate that monolayer and bilayer films of thiol-capped gold nanoclusters can exhibit diode-like properties provided controlled spatial asymmetry exist between two tunnel junctions used to connect a thiol capped gold nanoclusters. Current-voltage characteristics of this rectifier were obtained from conducting probe atomic force microscopy measurements and also from conventional two probe resistance measurements. Systematic x-ray reflectivity and atomic force microscopy measurements were carried out to characterize the spatial asymmetry introduced by a monolayer of fatty acid salt gadolinium stearate used to deposit thiol-capped gold nanocluster molecules on hydrophilic SiO2-Si(001) substrate by Langmuir Blodgett technique. This information was used to explain prominent rectification observed in these nano-structured films.

description: Quantum memories for light are essential components in quantum technologies like long-distance quantum communication and distributed quantum computing. Recent studies have shown that long optical and spin coherence lifetimes can be observed in rare earth doped nanoparticles, opening exciting possibilities over bulk materials e.g. for enhancing coupling to light and other quantum systems, and material design. Here, we report on coherent light storage in Eu$^{3+}$:Y$_2$O$_3$ nanoparticles using the Stark Echo Modulation Memory (SEMM) quantum protocol. We first measure a nearly constant Stark coefficient of 50 kHz/(V/cm) across a bandwidth of 15 GHz, which is promising for broadband operation. Storage of light using SEMM is then demonstrated for times up to 40 $μ$s. Pulses with two different frequencies are also stored, confirming frequency-multiplexing capability, and are used to demonstrate the memory high phase fidelity.

description: Inelastic cold neutron scattering on LaCoO3 provided evidence for a distinct low energy excitation at 0.6 meV coincident with the thermally induced magnetic transition. Coexisting strong ferromagnetic (FM) and weaker antiferromagnetic (AFM) correlations that are dynamic follow the activation to the excited state, identified as the intermediate S=1 spin triplet. This is indicative of dynamical orbital ordering favoring the observed magnetic interactions. With hole doping as in La1-xSrxCoO3, the FM correlations between Co spins become static and isotropically distributed due to the formation of FM droplets. The correlation length and condensation temperature of these droplets increase rapidly with metallicity due to the double exchange mechanism.

We show that, for g > 4gamma+1, the number 4(g-1)/(g-gamma) is a sharp lower bound for the slope of f, proving a conjecture of Barja. Moreover, we give a characterisation of the fibred surfaces that reach the bound. In the case g = 4gamma+1 we obtain the same sharp bound under the assumption that the involutions on the general fibres glue to a global involution on X.

Modelling the delayed nonlinear fiber response in coherent optical communications

description: Fiber nonlinearities, that lead to nonlinear signal interference (NLI), are typically regarded as an instantaneous material response with respect to the optical field. However, in addition to an instantaneous part, the nonlinear fiber response consists of a delayed contribution, referred to as the Raman response. The imaginary part of its Fourier transform, referred to as the Raman gain spectrum, leads to inter-channel stimulated Raman scattering (ISRS). ISRS is a nonlinear effect that redistributes optical power from high to lower frequencies during propagation. However, as the nonlinear fiber response is causal, the Raman spectrum obeys the Kramers-Kronig relations resulting in the real part of the complex valued Raman spectrum. While the impact of the imaginary part (i.e. ISRS) is well studied, the direct implications of its associated real part on the NLI are unexplored. In this work, a theory is proposed to analytically quantify the impact of the real Raman spectrum on the nonlinear interference power. Starting from a generalized Manakov equation, an extension of the ISRS Gaussian Noise (GN) model is derived to include the real Raman spectrum and, thus, to account for the complete nonlinear Raman response. Accurate integral expressions are derived and approximations in closed-form are proposed. Different formulations for the case of single -and dual polarized signals are derived and novel analytical approximations of the real Raman spectrum are proposed. Moreover, it is analytically shown that the real Raman spectrum scales the strength of the instantaneous nonlinear distortions depending on the frequency separation of the interacting frequencies. A simple functional form is derived to assess the scaling of the NLI strength. The proposed theory is validated by numerical simulations over C-and C+L band, using experimentally measured fiber data.
J.S. Bach's pre-Leipzig binary form arias
Creators: name: Hess, Andrea Noelle
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: For most of his adult life, Bach was required to compose cantatas on a regular basis for secular occasions and liturgical services. There has been much research on the great body of cantatas but relatively little research focusing on the arias, and even less on the aria forms utilized. Consequently, there are many aspects of Bach's vocal works and compositional processes that have yet to be researched in great detail. The purpose of this study is to identify, analyze, and trace the development of the binary aria form in Bach's pre-Leipzig cantatas. Bach's pre-Leipzig vocal works are more often than not greatly overshadowed by the monumental works he composed during his tenure at Leipzig. However, Bach was 38 years old when he left Cothen for Leipzig and well into his mature compositional style. During his years at Miilhausen (June 1707 to June 1708), Weimar (June 1708 to December 1717) and Cothen (December 1717 to May 1723), Bach composed over one hundred arias, roughly half of which can be classified as strict or free da capo form. Of the remaining fifty arias, fifteen have been identified as representative of binary aria form for this study. The following criteria were used to select the fifteen binary arias: (1) a bipartite structure with a major structural articulation near the middle of the aria, (2) a complete statement of the ritornello at the beginning and the end of the aria (and never in the middle of the A or B sections), (3) parallelism between the A and B sections, (4) a modulation away from the tonic in the A section followed by a return to the tonic in the B section, and (5) a relatively simplistic tonal scheme with not too many secondary tonal goals. The analysis will trace aspects of the development of the binary aria form including style, tonality, and integration of ritornello and solo elements. Additionally, stylistic evidence will be employed to prove or disprove current musicological findings regarding the dates for those cantatas that are in question.

description: Every day, food producers and processors provide products consumed by 250 million people in this country. Each of those consumers is affected by the content of their foods. With advances in food production, processing, and distribution technology, the role of food labels has become increasingly important. Current research and views related to food labeling issues were discussed at a conference held in Washington, D.C. on March 20-21, 2003. This article gives an overview of food-labeling issues and summarizes the research findings presented at the conference. Issues discussed in this paper include the impact of food labels on consumer purchase decisions, the role of the private versus the public sector in providing credibility to marketing claims, the costs and benefits of voluntary and mandatory labels, and the implications of country-of-origin labeling.

description: State-of-the-art multi-object tracking~(MOT) methods follow the tracking-by-detection paradigm, where object trajectories are obtained by associating per-frame outputs of object detectors. In crowded scenes, however, detectors often fail to obtain accurate detections due to heavy occlusions and high crowd density. In this paper, we propose a new MOT paradigm, tracking-by-counting, tailored for crowded scenes. Using crowd density maps, we jointly model detection, counting, and tracking of multiple targets as a network flow program, which simultaneously finds the global optimal detections and trajectories of multiple targets over the whole video. This is in contrast to prior MOT methods that either ignore the crowd density and thus are prone to errors in crowded scenes, or rely on a suboptimal two-step process using heuristic density-aware point-tracks for matching targets.Our approach yields promising results on public benchmarks of various domains including people tracking, cell tracking, and fish tracking.

description: Public debate on biotechnology is embroiled in controversy over the risks and benefits associated with this emerging technology. Using data from a national survey, this study analyzes public acceptance of biotechnology in food production. Empirical results suggest that while there is general optimism about biotechnology and support for its use in plants, public approval of its use in animals is perhaps more limited. Younger and more-educated individuals are generally more supportive of biotechnology. Attitudes toward biotechnology differ substantially between males and females, and between white and non-whites. While people's religious and social views and confidence in scientists, corporations, and government have significant influences, income and regional differences do not have significant effects on public acceptance of biotechnology.

description: Using the ETAS branching model of triggered seismicity, we apply the formalism of generating probability functions to calculate exactly the average difference between the magnitude of a mainshock and the magnitude of its largest aftershock over all generations. This average magnitude difference is found empirically to be independent of the mainshock magnitude and equal to 1.2, a universal behavior known as Bath's law. Our theory shows that Bath's law holds only sufficiently close to the critical regime of the ETAS branching process. Allowing for error bars +- 0.1 for Bath's constant value around 1.2, our exact analytical treatment of Bath's law provides new constraints on the productivity exponent alpha and the branching ratio n: $0.9 <= alpha <= 1$ and 0.8 <= n <= 1. We propose a novel method for measuring alpha based on the predicted renormalization of the Gutenberg-Richter distribution of the magnitudes of the largest aftershock. We also introduce the ``second Bath's law for foreshocks: the probability that a main earthquake turns out to be the foreshock does not depend on its magnitude.

description: The EU policy on voluntary food labeling emphasizes the geographical origin of the products. Specialty products from a given area (e.g., wine) benefit from a reputation premium that is well-identified by consumers. Public authorities allow exclusive use of the appellation to a group of producers in exchange for commitments on production techniques, certification and control, and obligation of a collective use of the name. In spite of many successful aspects, the future of this policy is uncertain in a globalized environment. Caveats in the regulation (moral hazard, bureaucracy), lack of international readability of the labels, and competition from registered brand names are the main limitations of the EU policy.
I-BiDaaS - D4.2: Distributed Event-Processing Engine
Creators: name: Ristow, Gerald
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: The main challenges in complex event processing are volume and velocity of data that needs to be processed in real-time. Data can come from different sources in different amounts and different frequencies, e.g. in the I-BiDaaS use cases from the three data providers CAIXA, CRF and TID where the data rates differ. However, not all data is connected, and one needs to divide the data into parts that need to be processed together. This document describes the design of an event-processing architecture where the event-processing engine is divided in separate, independent processing units that can share and exchange information and events. This reduces the load and enhances the performance without leaving out important relations between the data.

description: The charged particle multiplicity in hadronic three-jet events from Z decays is investigated. The topology dependence of the event multiplicity is found to be well described by a modified leading logarithmic prediction. A parameter fit of the prediction to the data yields a measurement of the colour factor ratio C_A/C_F with the result C_A/C_F = 2.261 +/- 0.014 (stat.) +/- 0.036 (exp.) +/- 0.066 (theo.) in agreement with the SU(3) expectation of QCD. The quark-related contribution to the event multiplicity is subtracted from the three-jet event multiplicity resulting in a measurement of the multiplicity of two-gluon colour-singlet states over a wide energy range. The ratios r=N_{gg}(s)/N_{q qbar}(s) of the gluon and quark multiplicities and r^{(1)}=N_{gg}'(s)/N_{q qbar}'(s) of their derivatives are compared with perturbative calculations. While a good agreement between calculations and data is observed for r^{(1)}, larger deviations are found for r indicating that non-perturbative effects are more important for r than for r^{(1)}.

description: In this paper we consider the role for collective action in advertising investments needed to compete on foreign markets and/or to enter into new markets. We model the choices facing producers in regions where both AO (high quality) and table (low quality) wines are produced. By joining forces with producers of other regions to invest in advertising, producers may penetrate into new markets. We show that it is profitable to enter into the new markets when, other things being equal, the size of the new market is relatively big, when the traditional market is relatively small, and when the size of the fixed investment in advertising is relatively small. We discuss the policy implications of the results, examining possible modifications of the AO system to facilitate collective action and improve investment levels.

description: In 2002, Chicago and Denver consumers were surveyed and participated in an experimental auction to elicit willingness to pay for country-of-origin labeling (COOL) of beef. Survey results indicate the majority of consumers (73%) were willing to pay an 11% and 24% premium for COOL of steak and hamburger, respectively. In the auction, consumers were willing to pay a 19% premium for steak labeled "U.S.A. Guaranteed: Born and Raised in the U.S." Food-safety concerns, preferences for labeling source and origin information, a strong desire to support U.S. producers, and beliefs that U.S. beef was of higher quality were reasons consumers preferred COOL.

description: We discuss empirical research on consumer preferences and willingness to pay for several types of food quality or attribute labeling. The selected categories we include are eco-labels, GM food labels, U.S. state agricultural-product labels and European Protected Geographical Indication labels, BSE-tested-beef labels, and "Fair Trade" labels. We discuss generalizations that can be drawn from the studies as a group. Most importantly, we find that consumers must perceive high quality in order for the food product to command a premium. Furthermore, the perception of quality may sometimes differ across consumers.

description: We study in more detail the dynamics of chiral primaries of the D1/D5 system. From the CFT given by the $S_{n}$ orbifold a study of correlators resulted in an interacting (collective) theory of chiral operators. In $AdS_{3}\times S^{3}$ SUGRA we concentrate on general 1/2 BPS configurations described in terms of a fundamental string .We first establish a correspondence with the linerized field fluctuations and then present the nonlinear analysis. We evaluate in detail the symplectic form of the general degrees of freedom in Sugra and confirm the appearance of chiral bosons. We then discuss the apearance of interactions and the cubic vertex,in correspondence with the $S_{N}$ collective field theory representation.

description: In this paper we explicitly work out the secular perturbations induced on all the Keplerian orbital elements of a test body to order O(e^2) in the eccentricity e by the weak-field long-range modifications of the usual Newton-Einstein gravity due to the Dvali-Gabadadze-Porrati (DGP) braneworld model. The Gauss perturbative scheme is used. It turns out that the argument of pericentre and the mean anomaly are affected by secular rates which are independent of the semimajor axis of the orbit of the test particle. The first nonvaishing eccentricity-dependent corrections are of order O(e^2). For circular orbits the Lue-Starkman (LS) effect on the pericentre is obtained. Some observational consequences are discussed for the Solar System planetary mean longitudes lambda which would undergo a 1.2\cdot 10^-3 arcseconds per century braneworld secular precession. According to recent data analysis over 92 years for the EPM2004 ephemerides, the 1-sigma formal accuracy in determining the Martian mean longitude amounts to 3\cdot 10^-3 milliarcseconds, while the braneworld effect over the same time span would be 1.159 milliarcseconds. The major limiting factor is the 2.6\cdot 10^-3 arcseconds per century systematic error due to the mismodelling in the Keplerian mean motion of Mars. A suitable linear combination of the mean longitudes of Mars and Venus may overcome this problem. The formal, 1-sigma obtainable observational accuracy would be \sim 7%. The systematic error due to the present-day uncertainties in the solar quadrupole mass moment, the Keplerian mean motions, the general relativistic Schwarzschild field and the asteroid ring would amount to some tens of percent.

description: While spatial dose conformity delivered to a target volume has been pushed to its practical limits with advanced treatment planning and delivery, investigations in novel temporal dose delivery are unfolding new mechanisms. Recent advances in ultra-high dose radiotherapy, abbreviated as FLASH, indicate the potential for reduction in healthy tissue damage while preserving tumor control. FLASH therapy relies on very high dose rate of > 40Gy/sec with sub-second temporal beam modulation, taking a seemingly opposite direction from the conventional paradigm of fractionated therapy. FLASH brings unique challenges to dosimetry, beam control, and verification, as well as complexity of radiobiological effective dose through altered tissue response. In this review, we compare the dosimetric methods capable of operating under high dose rate environments. Due to excellent dose-rate independence, superior spatial (~<1 mm) and temporal (~ns) resolution achievable with Cherenkov and scintillation-based detectors, we show that luminescent detectors have a key role to play in the development of FLASH-RT, as the field rapidly progresses towards clinical adaptation. Additionally, we show that the unique ability of certain luminescence-based methods to provide tumor oxygenation maps in real-time with submillimeter resolution can elucidate the radiobiological mechanisms behind the FLASH effect. In particular, such techniques will be crucial for understanding the role of oxygen in mediating the FLASH effect.

description: Below a certain temperature Tc (typically cryogenic), some materials lose their electric resistance R entering a superconducting state. Folowing the general trend toward a large scale integration of a greater number of electronic components, it is desirable to use superconducting elements in order to minimize heat dissipation. It is expected that the basic property of a superconductor, i.e. dissipationless electric current, will be preserved at reduced scales required by modern nanoelectronics. Unfortunately, there are indications that for a certain critical size limit of the order of 10 nm, below which a "superconducting" wire is no longer a superconductor in a sense that it acquires a finite resistance even at temperatures close to absolute zero. In the present paper we report an experimental evidence for a superconductivity breakdown in ultranarrow quasi-1D aluminum nanowires.

description: Between 1993 and 1996 there was a large number of business establishment starts in smaller and larger communities in Canada, indicating significant business establishment development in the post recessionary period of the 1990s. Between 1993 and 1996 smaller communities had a larger ratio of smaller establishments (under 10 employees) to population than larger communities. In today's economy, new establishments tend to have fewer employees (under 10 employees) and are located in the service and construction sectors of the economy.

Landscape-Aware Fixed-Budget Performance Regression and Algorithm Selection for Modular CMA-ES Variants

description: Automated algorithm selection promises to support the user in the decisive task of selecting a most suitable algorithm for a given problem. A common component of these machine-trained techniques are regression models which predict the performance of a given algorithm on a previously unseen problem instance. In the context of numerical black-box optimization, such regression models typically build on exploratory landscape analysis (ELA), which quantifies several characteristics of the problem. These measures can be used to train a supervised performance regression model. First steps towards ELA-based performance regression have been made in the context of a fixed-target setting. In many applications, however, the user needs to select an algorithm that performs best within a given budget of function evaluations. Adopting this fixed-budget setting, we demonstrate that it is possible to achieve high-quality performance predictions with off-the-shelf supervised learning approaches, by suitably combining two differently trained regression models. We test this approach on a very challenging problem: algorithm selection on a portfolio of very similar algorithms, which we choose from the family of modular CMA-ES algorithms.

description: Due to the lack of information on the factors that affect the marketing of cowpeas in Senegal, this study investigates key aspects for the successful marketing of cowpeas in Senegal. The contribution this study makes lies in the information it generates to empower role-players in the cowpea value chain to better understand (i) the demand relations of cowpeas in Senegal, (ii) the information needs of role-players and the extent to which markets are integrated, and (iii) for which characteristics of cowpea consumers are willing to pay premiums. An Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) model is applied to one period cross sectional data to estimate demand relations of cowpea's in Senegal. The own price elasticity of cowpea is -1.23 while its expenditure elasticity is 0.97 showing that cowpea is a normal necessity. A sample of 443 respondents was taken to determine the information needs of different role-players in the cowpea supply chain. Availability of price information on local and export markets are deemed vitally important by all role players. Information pertaining to quantities supplied and demanded, and buyers' preferences are not regarded by all role-players as equally important. The most appropriate mode to dissemination cowpea related information should depend on the accessibility of a particular mode by role-players. Bivariate correlation coefficients, co-integration tests, Granger Causality tests and Ravallion's model are used to investigate level of market integration. The results show that cowpea markets as a whole are not integrated. This is not a surprising result since it can be linked to the general lack of market information. The influence of cowpea characteristics on cowpea prices is analyzed with a hedonic pricing model. The results show that large grain size and sugar contents are characteristics for which consumers are willing to pay premiums in all markets. The implication of the results of this study has several dimensions, i.e. (i) role-players in the cowpea supply chain now has information to guide pricing strategies, (ii) changes in expenditures on cowpeas can be properly discounted in marketing strategies, (iii) interventions can be designed to address the needs of information users and to address the non-integrated nature of cowpeas markets, and (iv) research programs and role-players should focus their research and marketing activities on those characteristics for which consumers are willing to pay premiums.
