description: A new notion of controllability, eigenstate controllability, is defined for finite-dimensional bilinear quantum mechanical systems which are neither strongly completely controllably nor completely controllable. And a quantum control algorithm based on Grover iteration is designed to perform a quantum control task of steering a system, which is eigenstate controllable but may not be (strongly) completely controllable, from an arbitrary state to a target state.

Chiral phase structure of three flavor QCD in a background magnetic field

description: We investigate the chiral phase structure of three flavor QCD in a background $U(1)$ magnetic field using the standard staggered action and the Wilson plaquette gauge action. We perform simulations on lattices with a temporal extent of $N_τ=4$ and four spatial extents of $N_σ= 8,16, 20$ and 24. We choose a smaller-than-physical quark mass in lattice spacing as $am = 0.030$ such that there exists a crossover transition at vanishing magnetic fields, and adopt two values of magnetic field strength in lattice spacing $a \sqrt{ e{B}}\simeq 1.5$ and 2. We find that the transition becomes stronger in the presence of a background magnetic field, and turns into a first order as seen from the volume scaling of the order parameter susceptibility as well as the metastable states in the time history of the chiral condensate. On the other hand, the chiral condensate and transition temperature always increase with $B$ even within the regime of a first order phase transition. This suggests that the discrepancy in the behavior of chiral condensates and transition temperature as a function of $B$ between earlier lattice studies using larger-than-physical pion masses with standard staggered fermions and those using physical pions with improved staggered fermions is mainly due to lattice cutoff effects.

description: We present a systematic ^{115}In NQR study on the heavy fermion compounds CeRh_{1-x}Ir_xIn_5 (x=0.25, 0.35, 0.45, 0.5, 0.55 and 0.75). The results provide strong evidence for the microscopic coexistence of antiferromagnetic (AF) order and superconductivity (SC) in the range of 0.35 \leq x \leq 0.55. Specifically, for x=0.5, T_N is observed at 3 K with a subsequent onset of superconductivity at T_c=0.9 K. T_c reaches a maximum (0.94 K) at x=0.45 where T_N is found to be the highest (4.0 K). Detailed analysis of the measured spectra indicate that the same electrons participate in both SC and AF order. The nuclear spin-lattice relaxation rate 1/T_1 shows a broad peak at T_N and follows a T^3 variation below T_c, the latter property indicating unconventional SC as in CeIrIn_5 (T_c=0.4 K). We further find that, in the coexistence region, the T^3 dependence of 1/T_1 is replaced by a T-linear variation below T\sim 0.4 K, with the value \frac{(T_1)_{T_c}}{(T_1)_{low-T}} increasing with decreasing x, likely due to low-lying magnetic excitations associated with the coexisting magnetism.

description: Data on businesses collected by statistical agencies are challenging to protect. Many businesses have unique characteristics, and distributions of employment, sales, and profits are highly skewed. Attackers wishing to conduct identification attacks often have access to much more information than for any individual. As a consequence, most disclosure avoidance mechanisms fail to strike an acceptable balance between usefulness and confidentiality protection. Detailed aggregate statistics by geography or detailed industry classes are rare, public-use microdata on businesses are virtually inexistant, and access to confidential microdata can be burdensome. Synthetic microdata have been proposed as a secure mechanism to publish microdata, as part of a broader discussion of how to provide broader access to such data sets to researchers. In this article, we document an experiment to create analytically valid synthetic data, using the exact same model and methods previously employed for the United States, for data from two different countries: Canada (LEAP) and Germany (BHP). We assess utility and protection, and provide an assessment of the feasibility of extending such an approach in a cost-effective way to other data.

Gamow-Teller strength in $^{48}$Ca and $^{78}$Ni with the charge-exchange subtracted second random-phase approximation

description: We develop a fully self-consistent subtracted second random-phase approximation for charge-exchange processes with Skyrme energy-density functionals. As a first application, we study Gamow-Teller excitations in the doubly-magic nucleus $^{48}$Ca, the lightest double-$β$ emitter that could be used in an experiment, and in $^{78}$Ni, the single-beta-decay rate of which is known. The amount of Gamow-Teller strength below 20 or 30 MeV is considerably smaller than in other energy-density-functional calculations and agrees better with experiment in $^{48}$Ca, as does the beta-decay rate in $^{78}$Ni. These important results, obtained without \textit{ad hoc} quenching factors, are due to the presence of two-particle -- two-hole configurations. Their density progressively increases with excitation energy, leading to a long high-energy tail in the spectrum, a fact that may have implications for the computation of nuclear matrix elements for neutrinoless double-$β$ decay in the same framework.

description: We present a detailed analysis of the self-consistent system of kinetic equations (KEs) describing electron-positron pair production from vacuum under the action of a spatially homogeneous time-dependent electric field of arbitrary polarization. The physical significance of all the basic functions of the kinetic theory is ascertained. It is demonstrated that the total system of the KEs consists of two coupled quasiparticle and spin subsystems with their integrals of motion. A projection method is proposed in order to obtain the KE system in two particular cases: linearly polarized external electric field and (2+1)-dimensional description of quasiparticles in graphene. We also address the energy conservation law taking into account the internal plasma field and describe an alternative rigorous derivation of the KE system.

description: With the development of cloud computing, service computing, IoT(Internet of Things) and mobile Internet, the diversity and sociality of services are increasingly apparent. To meet the customized user demands, service ecosystems begins to emerge with the formation of various IT services collaboration network. However, service ecosystem is a complex social-technology system with the characteristics of natural ecosystems, economic systems and complex networks. Hence, how to realize the multi-dimensional evaluation of service ecosystem is of great significance to promote its sound development. Based on this, this paper proposes a value entropy model to analyze the performance of service ecosystem, which is conducive to integrate evaluation indicators of different dimensions. In addition, a computational experiment system is constructed to verify the effectiveness of value entropy model. The result shows that our model can provide new means and ideas for the analysis of service ecosystem.

description: Globalization and the expansion of world wine trade have caused a wine boom that together with agricultural subsidies have made fluctuations in wine inventories a more critical issue. In the case of domestic and international wine markets, little is known about intertemporal inventory adjustments and how they relate to prices. We investigate possible dynamic relations between these variables in a time series context, so as to better understand how wine producers and traders can face growing price and financial volatility. Countries for whom meaningful data series could be constructed include: Argentina, Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United States. The study begins by examining the empirical evidence on inventories in these markets and their relation to prices. Stationarity tests are first performed to assess likely trends in the wine inventory and price variables. Cointegration analysis follows to analyze the stationary relationships between these variables. To explain the dynamics of this relationship, vector autoregressions have been estimated and impulse functions are computed to measure possible delays between variable reactions.

description: We simultaneously present constraints on the stellar-to-halo mass relation for central and satellite galaxies through a weak lensing analysis of spectroscopically classified galaxies. Using overlapping data from the fourth data release of the Kilo-Degree Survey (KiDS), and the Galaxy And Mass Assembly survey (GAMA), we find that satellite galaxies are hosted by halo masses that are $0.53 \pm 0.39$ dex (68\% confidence, $3σ$ detection) smaller than those of central galaxies of the same stellar mass (for a stellar mass of $\log(M_{\star}/M_{\odot}) = 10.6$). This is consistent with galaxy formation models, whereby infalling satellite galaxies are preferentially stripped of their dark matter. We find consistent results with similar uncertainties when comparing constraints from a standard azimuthally averaged galaxy-galaxy lensing analysis and a two-dimensional likelihood analysis of the full shear field. As the latter approach is somewhat biased due to the lens incompleteness and as it does not provide any improvement to the precision when applied to actual data, we conclude that stacked tangential shear measurements are best-suited for studies of the galaxy-halo connection.

description: We study transverse-momentum-dependent (TMD) gluon distributions and factorization theorems for the gluon-initiated semi-inclusive processes at hadron colliders. Gauge-invariant TMD gluon distributions are defined, and their relations to the integrated (Feynman) parton distributions are explored when the transverse momentum is large. Through explicit calculations, soft-collinear factorization is verified at one-loop order for scalar particle production. Summation over large double logarithms is made through solving the Collins-Soper equation. We reproduce the known result in the limit that the transverse momentum of the scalar is large.

 Horsfield’s Bat
  Vespertilio horsfieldii Temminck, 1840: 226; Mount Gede, Java
 New material from Myanmar
 Kayin State: Bayint Nyi Cave, 14.11. 2002, 1 ♂ (H15); Mon State: Indian Single Rock Temple Cave, 19.11.2002, 1 ♂ (H23) and -.5.2003, 1 ♂ (KMM1).
 Previous records from Myanmar
  Mon State — Kyauk-Ta-Lone (Bates et al., 2001).
 Diagnostic description
  A medium-small species of Myotis with a forearm length of 33.8, 34.0 mm based on two specimens from Myanmar (Table 4) (FA = 36.5–41.5 mm in Bates and Harrison, 1997; 34.3–36.8 mm in Hendrichsen et al., 2001 and 34 –37 mm in Borissenko and Kruskop, 2003). The dorsal pelage is dark- grey brown. The ventral pelage is paler, with buff-brown hair tips and dark roots. The feet are enlarged and exceed half the length of the tibiae. The wings are attached to the outer metatarsals of each foot. The upper canine (C1) is nearly twice the height of the third upper premolar (P4). The second upper premolar (P3) is about half the crown area of the first (P2) and usually lies within
 the toothrow. The lower canine (C1) exceeds the third lower premolar in height (P4). The second lower premolar (P3) is about half the crown area of the first (P2).
 Similar species
  The distinction of M. horsfieldi from M. hasselti is discussed above.
 Taxonomic notes
 The external, skull and dental measurements of the Myanmar specimens are small when compared to those listed in Hill (1983) for M. h. peshwa (Thomas, 1915 c) from peninsular India and M. h. deignani Shamel, 1942 from Thailand. They compare more favourably to those of the nominate race from Malaysia and Java.
 Ecological notes
 In Myanmar, all three specimens were found in or near limestone caves. Initially collected in March, 2001 near Kyauk- Ta-Lone village, it was flying over a small watercourse that runs through an area of agricultural land, disturbed woodland and limestone outcrops (Bates et al., 2001). Subsequently in May, 2003, it was collect- ed again in the same vicinity at Indian Temple Cave, which is situated some 800 m from the original point of capture. The last individual was collected in the tunnel- like limestone cave of Bayint Nyi, which is an area of disturbed woodland and some agriculture.

description: Climate change is altering a wide range of human activities, including wine making. While wine may appear to be one of the most natural alcoholic beverages, it is not without carbon inputs and emissions, which contribute to the very change in climate that is altering both wine and wine making. In this paper, we use a carbon life cycle analysis to develop a model for quantifying carbon inputs in a bottle of wine. Current regulatory arrangements do not capture the carbon costs of wine effectively since most costs are externalized. We conclude with estimates of the cost of carbon under various regulatory regimes, which suggest how wine producers and consumers can reduce the carbon footprint of wine.

description: We propose a structural empirical approach à la Levinsohn and Petrin (2003) to disentangle the effect of experts’ grades from the effect of unobserved quality on the pricing of experience goods. Using a panel data set of 108 châteaux selling wine on the Bordeaux ‘en primeur’ market, we provide some empirical validation for the theoretical result that the price set by wine producers is used as a signal for wine quality. We confirm that experts’ grades affect producers’ choice of ‘en primeur’ price above the effect of unobserved wine quality. Our empirical results also show that failing to control for endogeneity caused by the omission of unobserved leads to over-estimate the influence of experts’ grades on the ‘en primeur’ price.

Returns average up to 0.75% per month above those predicted by these models. Further, investment grade wines benefit from low exposure to market risk factors, thus offering a valuable dimension of portfolio diversification. These findings are consistent with simple theoretical considerations and support a documented growing interest in wine investments.

description: Econometric demand and supply models of agricultural commodities and crops have been around for a long time with extensive research and adaptations being made in the grain and livestock sectors. This much attention has, however, not been afforded to long term commodities. This paper presents a partial equilibrium framework for modelling long term commodities using the South African wine industry as an example. The model structure and important assumptions are presented, after which the usefulness of the model is tested in the form of baseline projections and the analysis of a typical “what if” question. The wine model presented in this paper is housed and maintained in the Bureau for Food and Agricultural Policy (BFAP) at the Department of Agriculture, Western Cape and the Universities of Pretoria and Stellenbosch.

 Previous records from Myanmar
 Mon State: Saddan-Sin Cave (Bates et al., 2001).
 Descriptive characters
 A very large Myotis with a forearm length of 65.1–68.0 mm based on 5 speci- mens from Myanmar (Table 4) (FA = 65.0– 68.9 mm in Hendrichsen et al., 2001 and 65 – 69 mm in Borissenko and Kruskop, 2003). The dorsal pelage is dark grey-brown with the roots almost black. The ventral pelage is paler with grey hair tips and dark roots. The skull and teeth are robust. The second upper premolar (P3) is about half to two-thirds the crown area and height of the first (P2) and is slightly displaced internally. Likewise, the second lower premolar (P3) is half to two- thirds the crown area and height of the first (P2) and compressed in the toothrow.
 Similar species
 Myotis chinensis is distinguished from all other local species of Myotis by its large size.
 Ecological notes
 In Myanmar, all specimens have been collected in limestone caves. Originally recorded from the large cave complex of Saddan-Sin (Bates et al., 2001), it has sub- sequently been collected from three other caves. Hnidon Hill and Yathay-Pyan Caves in Mon and Kayin States respectively are both large with a number of tunnels and chambers and at an altitude of approximate- ly 50 m, both are surrounded by agricultural land and are the roosts of a rich variety of bat species. Thuye Oo Min Cave in Shan State is also large and is situated at an alti- tude of approximately 1,000 metres. It is surrounded by ponds and paddy fields.

description: Eco-labeling signals that a product has been eco-certified. While there is increasing use of eco-labeling practices, there is still little understanding of the conditions under which eco-labels can command price premiums. In this paper, we argue that the certification of environmental practices by a third party should be analyzed as a strategy distinct from although related to the advertisement of the eco-certification through a label posted on the product. By assessing eco-labeling and eco-certification strategies separately, we are able to identify benefits associated with the certification process independently from those associated with the actual label. More specifically, we argue in the context of the wine industry that eco-certification can provide benefits, such as improved reputation in the industry or increased product quality, which can lead to a price premium without the need to use the eco-label. We estimate this price premium of wine due to the eco-certification of grapes using 13,400 observations of wine price, quality rating, varietals, vintage, and number of bottles produced, for the period 1998-2005. Overall, certifying wine increases the price by 13%, yet including an eco-label reduces the price by 20%. This result confirms the negative connotation associated by consumers with organic wine. The price premium of this luxury good due to certification acts independently from its label, a confounding result not previously demonstrated by related literature.

description: Eine belastbare Datengrundlage ist notwendig sowohl für die Planung und Integration von Publikationsfonds an Hochschulen als auch im Hinblick auf Transformationsverträge zwischen Bibliotheken und wissenschaftlichen Verlagen. In den letzten Jahren hat sich der Datenservice Unpaywall diesbezüglich zu einem wichtigen Instrument für die Identifizierung von Open Access entwickelt. In dieser Arbeit sollen die Zuverlässigkeit sowie die Belastbarkeit des Datenservices auf Grundlage der zeitlichen Transformation des Dienstes untersucht werden. In diesem Zusammenhang werden elf Datenbanksnapshots des Services, die zwischen 2018 und 2020 erschienen sind, ausgewertet und Modifikationen über einen längeren Zeitraum herausgestellt. Ferner soll anhand einer vollständigen Erhebung aller Zeitschriftenartikel der Publikationsjahre 2008 bis 2018 analysiert werden, inwiefern sich Open Access im Publikationsaufkommen zwischen verschiedenen Snapshots verändert hat.
description: A reliable data basis is necessary both for the planning and integration of publication funds at universities and with regard to transformation contracts between libraries and academic publishers. In recent years, the data service Unpaywall has developed into an important tool for identifying Open Access. In this thesis, the reliability as well as the resilience of the data service based on the temporal transformation of the service is being examined. In this context, eleven database snapshots of the service, which were published between 2018 and 2020, are evaluated and modifications over a longer period are highlighted. Furthermore, a complete survey of all journal articles from the publication years 2008 to 2018 is used to analyze the extent to which Open Access is in the publication volume changed between different snapshots.

description: We study the dispersion of point sets in the unit square; i.e. the size of the largest axes-parallel box amidst such point sets. It is known that $\liminf_{N\to\infty} N\mathrm{disp}(N,2)\in \left[\frac54,2\right],$ where $\mathrm{disp}(N,2)$ is the minimal possible dispersion for an $N$-element point set in the unit square. The upper bound 2 is obtained by an explicit point construction - the well-known Fibonacci lattice. In this paper we find a modification of this point set such that its dispersion is significantly lower than the dispersion of the Fibonacci lattice. Our main result will imply that $\liminf_{N\to\infty} N\mathrm{disp}(N,2)\leq φ^3/\sqrt{5}=1.894427...$

On umbral extensions of Stirling numbers and Dobinski-like formulas

description: Umbral extensions of the stirling numbers of the second kind are considered and the resulting dobinski-like various formulas including new ones are presented. These extensions naturally encompass the two well known q-extensions. The further consecutive umbral extensions q-stirling numbers are therefore realized here in a two-fold way. The fact that the umbral q-extended dobinski formula may also be interpreted as the average of powers of random variable with the q-poisson distribution singles out the q-extensions which appear to be a kind of singular point in the domain of umbral extensions as expressed by corresponding two observations. Other relevant possibilities are tackled with the paper`s closing down questions and suggestions with respect to other already existing extensions while a brief limited survey of these other type extensions is being delivered. There the newton interpolation formula and divided differences appear helpful and inevitable along with umbra symbolic language in describing properties of general exponential polynomials of touchard and their possible generalizations. Exponential structures or algebraically equivalent prefabs with their exponential formula appear to be also naturally relevant.

description: A hedonic price function for Argentinean wines in the U.S market is estimated in order to evaluate the effect of the most important attributes of wine on price. Results show that labeling practices and the choice of the right wine quality attributes are far more influential on price than expert panel opinions or oenological wine improvements such as aging.

description: As quantum coherence times of superconducting circuits have increased from nanoseconds to hundreds of microseconds, they are currently one of the leading platforms for quantum information processing. However, coherence needs to further improve by orders of magnitude to reduce the prohibitive hardware overhead of current error correction schemes. Reaching this goal hinges on reducing the density of broken Cooper pairs, so-called quasiparticles. Here, we show that environmental radioactivity is a significant source of nonequilibrium quasiparticles. Moreover, ionizing radiation introduces time-correlated quasiparticle bursts in resonators on the same chip, further complicating quantum error correction. Operating in a deep-underground lead-shielded cryostat decreases the quasiparticle burst rate by a factor fifty and reduces dissipation up to a factor four, showcasing the importance of radiation abatement in future solid-state quantum hardware.

description: The efficiency of public education is examined using a cost indirect output distance function. Efficiency estimates are obtained using data envelopment analysis applied to data from Georgia public schools. Georgia school districts utilize educational budgets with reasonable efficiency, achieving an overall efficiency of 98% with a range of 93%-100%. If all school districts were 100% efficient, outputs could be expanded 2%. This could be achieved by increasing funding $75.46 million state-wide in total for each of the 3 years. From the consumers’ (voters) point of view, this result suggests that inefficiency costs Georgia, on average, a total of $226.38 million from 1994 to 1996.

description: A common task in computational text analyses is to quantify how two corpora differ according to a measurement like word frequency, sentiment, or information content. However, collapsing the texts' rich stories into a single number is often conceptually perilous, and it is difficult to confidently interpret interesting or unexpected textual patterns without looming concerns about data artifacts or measurement validity. To better capture fine-grained differences between texts, we introduce generalized word shift graphs, visualizations which yield a meaningful and interpretable summary of how individual words contribute to the variation between two texts for any measure that can be formulated as a weighted average. We show that this framework naturally encompasses many of the most commonly used approaches for comparing texts, including relative frequencies, dictionary scores, and entropy-based measures like the Kullback-Leibler and Jensen-Shannon divergences. Through several case studies, we demonstrate how generalized word shift graphs can be flexibly applied across domains for diagnostic investigation, hypothesis generation, and substantive interpretation. By providing a detailed lens into textual shifts between corpora, generalized word shift graphs help computational social scientists, digital humanists, and other text analysis practitioners fashion more robust scientific narratives.

The Energy Dependence of Neutron Star Surface Modes and X-ray Burst Oscillations

Year: 2005

description: We calculate the photon energy dependence of the pulsed amplitude of neutron star (NS) surface modes. Simple approximations demonstrate that it depends most strongly on the bursting NS surface temperature. This result compares well with full integrations that include Doppler shifts from rotation and general relativistic corrections to photon propagation. We show that the energy dependence of type I X-ray burst oscillations agrees with that of a surface mode, lending further support to the hypothesis that they originate from surface waves. The energy dependence of the pulsed emission is rather insensitive to the NS inclination, mass and radius, or type of mode, thus hindering constraints on these parameters. We also show that, for this energy-amplitude relation, the majority of the signal (relative to the noise) comes in the 2-25 keV band, so that the current burst oscillation searches with the Rossi X-Ray Timing Explorer are close to optimal. The critical test of the mode hypothesis for X-ray burst oscillations would be a measurement of the energy dependence of burst oscillations from an accreting millisecond pulsar.

description: The min-max optimization problem, also known as the saddle point problem, is a classical optimization problem which is also studied in the context of zero-sum games. Given a class of objective functions, the goal is to find a value for the argument which leads to a small objective value even for the worst case function in the given class. Min-max optimization problems have recently become very popular in a wide range of signal and data processing applications such as fair beamforming, training generative adversarial networks (GANs), and robust machine learning, to just name a few. The overarching goal of this article is to provide a survey of recent advances for an important subclass of min-max problem, where the minimization and maximization problems can be non-convex and/or non-concave. In particular, we will first present a number of applications to showcase the importance of such min-max problems; then we discuss key theoretical challenges, and provide a selective review of some exciting recent theoretical and algorithmic advances in tackling non-convex min-max problems. Finally, we will point out open questions and future research directions.
