description: This paper investigates the peculiar behaviour of the light even (alpha-elements) and odd atomic number elements in red giants in the galactic bulge, both in terms of the chemical evolution of the bulge, and in terms of possible deep-mixing mechanisms in these evolved stars. Using UVES on VLT, we measure the abundances of the four light elements O, Na, Mg and Al in 13 red clump and 40 red giant branch stars in four fields spanning the bulge from b=-3 to -12°. We show that the resulting abundance patterns point towards a chemical enrichment dominated by massive stars at all metallicities. O, Mg and Al ratios with respect to iron are overabundant with respect to both galactic disks (thin and thick) for [Fe/H]$>-0.5$. A formation timescale for the galactic bulge shorter than for both the thin and thick disks is therefore inferred. Using Mg as a proxy for metallicity (instead of Fe) we further show that: (i) the bulge stars [O/Mg] ratio follows and extend to higher metallicities the decreasing trend of [O/Mg] found in the galactic disks. (ii) the [Na/Mg] ratio trend with increasing [Mg/H] is found to increase in three distinct sequences in the thin disk, the thick disk and the bulge. The bulge trend is well represented by the predicted metallicity-dependent yields of massive stars, whereas the galactic disks have too high Na/Mg ratios at low metallicities, pointing to an additional source of Na from AGB stars. (iii) Contrary to Na, there appears to be no systematic difference in the [Al/Mg] ratio between bulge and disk stars, and the theoretical yields by massive stars agree with the observed ratios, leaving no space for AGB contribution to Al.

description: We study the set of solutions of random k-satisfiability formulae through the cavity method. It is known that, for an interval of the clause-to-variables ratio, this decomposes into an exponential number of pure states (clusters). We refine substantially this picture by: (i) determining the precise location of the clustering transition; (ii) uncovering a second `condensation' phase transition in the structure of the solution set for k larger or equal than 4. These results both follow from computing the large deviation rate of the internal entropy of pure states. From a technical point of view our main contributions are a simplified version of the cavity formalism for special values of the Parisi replica symmetry breaking parameter m (in particular for m=1 via a correspondence with the tree reconstruction problem) and new large-k expansions.

description: The Hohenberg-Kohn (HK) theorem is one of the most fundamental theorems of quantum mechanics, and constitutes the basis for the very successful density-functional approach to inhomogeneous interacting many-particle systems. Here we show that in formulations of density-functional theory (DFT) that employ more than one density variable, applied to systems with a degenerate ground state, there is a subtle loophole in the HK theorem, as all mappings between densities, wave functions and potentials can break down. Two weaker theorems which we prove here, the joint-degeneracy theorem and the internal-energy theorem, restore the internal, total and exchange-correlation energy functionals to the extent needed in applications of DFT to atomic, molecular and solid-state physics and quantum chemistry. The joint-degeneracy theorem constrains the nature of possible degeneracies in general many-body systems.

The qualitative behaviors of the solution is studied and compared with the situation where the impurity is coupled to more than one reservoirs at different chemical potentials.

description: The density dependence of the symmetry energy in the equation of state of asymmetric nuclear matter (N/Z $>$ 1) is important for understanding the structure of systems as diverse as the atomic nuclei and neutron stars. Due to a proper lack of understanding of the basic nucleon-nucleon interaction for matters that are highly asymmetric and at non-normal nuclear density, this very important quantity has remained largely unconstrained. Recent studies using beams from the Cyclotron Institute of Texas A$&$M University, constraining the density dependence of the symmetry energy, is presented. A dependence of the form E$_{sym}(ρ)$ = C($ρ/ρ_{o})^γ$, where C = 31.6 MeV and $γ$ = 0.69, is obtained from the dynamical and statistical model analysis. Their implications to both astrophysical and nuclear physics studies are discussed.

description: Assessments of impacts of climate change and future projections over the Indian region, have so far relied on a single regional climate model (RCM) - eg., the PRECIS RCM of the Hadley Centre, UK. While these assessments have provided inputs to various reports (e.g., INCCA 2010; NATCOMM2 2012), it is important to have an ensemble of climate projections drawn from multiple RCMs due to large uncertainties in regional-scale climate projections. Ensembles of multi-RCM projections driven under different perceivable socio-economic scenarios are required to capture the probable path of growth, and provide the behavior of future climate and impacts on various biophysical systems and economic sectors dependent on such systems. The Centre for Climate Change Research, Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (CCCR-IITM) has generated an ensemble of high resolution downscaled projections of regional climate and monsoon over South Asia until 2100 for the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change (IPCC)using a RCM (ICTP-RegCM4) at 50 km horizontal resolution, by driving the regional model with lateral and lower boundary conditions from multiple global atmosphere-ocean coupled models from the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project Phase 5 (CMIP5). The future projections are based on three Representation Concentration Pathway (RCP) scenarios (viz., RCP2.6, RCP4.5, RCP8.5) of the IPCC.

description: Flexible-grid wavelength-division multiplexing is a powerful tool in lightwave communications for maximizing spectral efficiency. In the emerging field of quantum networking, the need for effective resource provisioning is particularly acute, given the generally lower power levels, higher sensitivity to loss, and inapplicability of digital error correction. In this Letter, we leverage flex-grid technology to demonstrate reconfigurable distribution of quantum entanglement in a four-user tabletop network. By adaptively partitioning bandwidth with a single wavelength-selective switch, we successfully equalize two-party coincidence rates that initially differ by over two orders of magnitude. Our scalable approach introduces loss that is fixed with the number of users, offering a practical path for the establishment and management of quality-of-service guarantees in large quantum networks.

description: We study the late-time behaviour of tilted perfect fluid Bianchi type III models using a dynamical systems approach. We consider models with dust, and perfect fluids stiffer than dust, and eludicate the late-time behaviour by studying the centre manifold which dominates the behaviour of the model at late times. In the dust case, this centre manifold is 3-dimensional and can be considered as a double bifurcation as the 2 parameters ($h$ and $γ$) of the type VI$_h$ model are varied. We calculate the decay rates and show that for dust or stiffer the models approach a vacuum spacetime, however, it does so rather slowly: $ρ/H^2\sim 1/\ln t$.

We show that the vertex operators coincide with the previous results obtained indirectly by using the quasi-Hopf algebra B_{q,λ}(\hat{sl}_2). This shows a consistency of our H-Hopf algebroid structure even in the case with non-zero central element.

description: The sparse-driven radar imaging can obtain the high-resolution images about target scene with the down-sampled data. However, the huge computational complexity of the classical sparse recovery method for the particular situation seriously affects the practicality of the sparse imaging technology. In this paper, this is the first time the quantum algorithms are applied to the image recovery for the radar sparse imaging. Firstly, the radar sparse imaging problem is analyzed and the calculation problem to be solved by quantum algorithms is determined. Then, the corresponding quantum circuit and its parameters are designed to ensure extremely low computational complexity, and the quantum-enhanced reconstruction algorithm for sparse imaging is proposed. Finally, the computational complexity of the proposed method is analyzed, and the simulation experiments with the raw radar data are illustrated to verify the validity of the proposed method.

Evaluation of statistical methods for estimating long-term population change from extensive wildlife surveys
Creators: name: Thomas, Len
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Monitoring long-term changes in population abundance is an integral part of conservation-oriented research and management. Many extensive monitoring programs are based on annual counts at a large number of permanent survey sites. However, estimating population change from the resulting data is challenging and controversial. At least eight statistical methods have been proposed and used, and in this thesis I evaluated these methods using data from the North American Breeding Bird Survey (BBS). I began by demonstrating the importance of analysis method for the inferences drawn about species trends. I compared the results when three methods of trend analysis were applied to BBS data for 115 species in British Columbia, and found differences in the direction, magnitude and statistical significance of the estimates. I then explored the issues surrounding the analysis of these data. I showed that even under ideal survey conditions subjective decisions must be made about whether to estimate annual indices or population trends and, for trend methods, which model to use for trend. In reality the analysis is further complicated by measurement error and missing data. I suggested the use of simulation studies to determine the accuracy of the methods, and provided a simple example using three geographic scenarios of population decline. I next made a preliminary assessment of the reliability of eight candidate analysis methods by applying them to continental data for four case study species (Cerulean Warbler, Carolina Wren, Chestnut-collared Longspur, and Belted Kingfisher). All methods except one (Mountford moving windows) produced seemingly plausible results in most cases. However each method demonstrated obvious flaws in some cases, and I used these to suggest potential areas of further methodological development. I concluded that loglinear modeling is currently the best method for estimating annual indices. For trend analysis, I could not determine whether route regression or direct estimation (based on generalized modeling) is generally superior. Large, long-term population changes in well-surveyed species are almost certain to be detected by any of these methods. However, their accuracy and robustness remains uncertain, and further research is required both to develop the methods and to evaluate them through comprehensive simulation studies.

Using a symmetry group of one-parameter, this ODE was reduced to a second order linear inhomogeneous ODE. Furthermore, we applied the change of the variable and complete discrimination system for polynomial to solve the corresponding integrals and obtained the classification of all single travelling wave solutions to Calogero-Degasperis-Focas equation.

Quantum gates and multi-particle entanglement by Rydberg excitation blockade and adiabatic passage

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: We propose to apply stimulated adiabatic passage to transfer atoms from their ground state into Rydberg excited states. Atoms a few micrometers apart experience a dipole-dipole interaction among Rydberg states that is strong enough to shift the atomic resonance and inhibit excitation of more than a single atom. We show that the adiabatic passage in the presence of this interaction between two atoms leads to robust creation of maximally entangled states and to two-bit quantum gates. For many atoms, the excitation blockade leads to an effective implementation of collective-spin and Jaynes-Cummings-like Hamiltonians, and we show that the adiabatic passage can be used to generate collective Jx=0 eigenstates and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states of tens of atoms.

description: Federated Learning (FL) is a distributed learning framework that can deal with the distributed issue in machine learning and still guarantee high learning performance. However, it is impractical that all users will sacrifice their resources to join the FL algorithm. This motivates us to study the incentive mechanism design for FL. In this paper, we consider a FL system that involves one base station (BS) and multiple mobile users. The mobile users use their own data to train the local machine learning model, and then send the trained models to the BS, which generates the initial model, collects local models and constructs the global model. Then, we formulate the incentive mechanism between the BS and mobile users as an auction game where the BS is an auctioneer and the mobile users are the sellers. In the proposed game, each mobile user submits its bids according to the minimal energy cost that the mobile users experiences in participating in FL. To decide winners in the auction and maximize social welfare, we propose the primal-dual greedy auction mechanism. The proposed mechanism can guarantee three economic properties, namely, truthfulness, individual rationality and efficiency. Finally, numerical results are shown to demonstrate the performance effectiveness of our proposed mechanism.

description: We propose a new method of analysing a variable component for type 1 active galactic nuclei (AGNs) in the near-infrared wavelength region. This analysis uses a multiple regression technique and divides the variable component into two components originating in the accretion disk at the center of AGNs and from the dust torus that far surrounds the disk. Applying this analysis to the long-term $VHK$ monitoring data of MCG+08-11-011 that were obtained by the MAGNUM project, we found that the $(H-K)$-color temperature of the dust component is $T = 1635$K $\pm20$K, which agrees with the sublimation temperature of dust grains, and that the time delay of $K$ to $H$ variations is $Δt\approx 6$ days, which indicates the existence of a radial temperature gradient in the dust torus. As for the disk component, we found that the power-law spectrum of $f_ν\propto ν^α$ in the $V$ to near-infrared $HK$ bands varies with a fixed index of $α\approx -0.1$ -- +0.4, which is broadly consistent with the irradiated standard disk model. The outer part of the disk therefore extends out to a radial distance where the temperature decreases to radiate the light in the near-infrared.

description: Physicians are often alleged responsible for the manipulation of delivery timing. We investigate
this issue in a setting that negates the influence of financial incentives behind “physician’s
demand induction” but allows for “risk aversion” to medical errors and “demand for leisure”
motivations. Working on a sample of women admitted at the onset of labor in a big public
hospital in Italy we estimate a model for the exact time of delivery as driven by individual
indication to receive Caesarean Section (CS) and covariates. We find that ICS does not affect the
day of delivery but leads to a circadian rhythm in the likelihood of delivery. The pattern is
consistent with the postponement of high ICS deliveries in the late night\early morning shift.
Our evidence hardly supports the manipulation of timing of births as driven by medical staff’s
“demand for leisure”. An explanation based on “risk aversion” attitude seems more appropriate.

CCCR-IITM has the mandate of developing an Earth System Model and to make the regional climate projections. An important achievement was made by developing an Earth System Model at IITM, which is an important step towards understanding global and regional climate response to long-term climate variability and climate change. CCCR-IITM has also generated an ensemble of high resolution dynamically downscaled future projections of regional climate over South Asia and Indian monsoon, which are found useful for impact assessment studies and for quantifying uncertainties in the regional projections. A brief overview of these core climate change modeling activities of CCCR-IITM was presented in an Interim Report on Climate Change over India (available at http://cccr.tropmet.res.in/home/reports.jsp)

description: The refractive index of single microparticles is derived from precise measurement and rigorous modeling of the stiffness of a laser trap. We demonstrate the method for particles of four different materials with diameters from 1.6 to 5.2 microns and achieve an accuracy of better than 1%. The method greatly contributes as a new characterization technique because it works best under conditions (small particle size, polydispersion) where other methods, such as absorption spectroscopy, start to fail. Particles need not be transferred to a particular fluid, which prevents particle degradation or alteration common in index matching techniques. Our results also show that advanced modeling of laser traps accurately reproduces experimental reality.

description: This thesis regards the study and the development of new cognitive assessment and rehabilitation techniques of subjects with traumatic brain injury (TBI). 
In particular, this thesis i) provides an overview about the state of art of this new assessment and rehabilitation technologies, ii) suggests new methods for the assessment and rehabilitation and iii) contributes to the explanation of the neurophysiological mechanism that is involved in a rehabilitation treatment.
Some chapters provide useful information to contextualize TBI and its outcome; they describe the methods used for its assessment/rehabilitation. The other chapters illustrate a series of experimental studies conducted in healthy subjects and TBI patients that suggest new approaches to assessment and rehabilitation. The new proposed approaches have in common the use of electroencefalografy (EEG). EEG was used in all the experimental studies with a different purpose, such as diagnostic tool, signal to command a BCI-system, outcome measure to evaluate the effects of a treatment, etc.
The main achieved results are about: i) the study and the development of a system for the communication with patients with disorders of consciousness. It was possible to identify a paradigm of reliable activation during two imagery task using EEG signal or EEG and NIRS signal; ii) the study of the effects of a neuromodulation technique (tDCS) on EEG pattern. This topic is of great importance and interest. The emerged founding showed that the tDCS can manipulate the cortical network activity and through the research of optimal stimulation parameters, it is possible move the working point of a neural network and bring it in a condition of maximum learning. In this way could be possible improved the performance of a BCI system or to improve the efficacy of a rehabilitation treatment, like neurofeedback.

We propose a power counting that incorporates the subtle interplay of strong and electromagnetic forces leading to a narrow resonance at an energy of about 0.1 MeV. We investigate the EFT expansion in detail, and compare its results with existing low-energy alpha-alpha phase shifts and previously determined effective-range parameters. Good description of the data is obtained with a surprising amount of fine-tuning. This scenario can be viewed as an expansion around the limit where, when electromagnetic interactions are turned off, the Be-8 ground state is at threshold and exhibits conformal invariance. We also discuss possible extensions to systems with more than two alpha particles.

description: We investigate polarization of high-energy emissions from the Crab pulsar in the frame work of the outer gap accelerator, following previous works of Cheng and coworkers. The recent version of the outer gap, which extends from inside the null charge surface to the light cylinder, is used for examining the synchrotron radiations from the secondary and the tertiary pairs, which are produced outside the gap. We calculate the light curve, the spectrum and the polarization characteristics, simultaneously, by taking into account gyration motion of the particles. The polarization position angle curve and the polarization degree are calculated to compare with the Crab optical data. We demonstrate that the radiations from inside the null charge surface make outer-wing and off-pulse emissions in the light curve, and the tertiary pairs contribute to bridge emissions. The emissions from the secondary pairs explain the main features of the observed light curve and spectrum. On the other hand, both emissions from inside the null charge surface and from the tertiary pairs are required to explain the optical polarization behavior of the Crab pulsar. The energy dependence of the polarization features is expected by the present model. For the Crab pulsar, the polarization position angle curve indicates that the viewing angle of the observer measured from the rotational axis is greater than $90^{\circ}$.

description: We analyzed the daily sunspot-group data reported by the Greenwich Photoheliographic Results (GPR) during the period 1874-1976 and Debrecen Photoheligraphic Data (DPD) during the period 1977-2017, and the revised Version-2 of ISSN during the period 1874-2017. We determined the amplitude of the Solar Cycles 12-24 and the 13-month smoothed monthly mean corrected areas of the sunspot groups in the Sun's whole-sphere (WSGA), northern hemisphere (NSGA), and southern hemisphere (SSGA) at the epochs of the maxima of the Solar Cycles 12-24. Using all these we obtained the relations similar to that found in our earlier analyzes -- i.e., the existence of a high correlation between the sum of the areas of sunspot groups in the southern-hemisphere near-equatorial band during a small interval (7-9 months) just after a maximum epoch of a solar cycle and the amplitude of next solar cycle -- separately for the Sun's whole-sphere and northern- and southern-hemispheres. By using these relations we predicted ~701 msh (millionth of solar hemisphere), ~429 msh, and ~366 msh for the values of WSGA, NSGA, and SSGA, respectively, at the maximum epoch of the Solar Cycle 25. We predicted 86 + or - 18 for the amplitude of Solar Cycle 25. The 13-month smoothed monthly mean sunspot-group area highly correlate with that of ISSN. Using this relation and the predicted values of WSGA, NSGA, and SSGA we have obtained 68 + or -11 for the amplitude of Solar Cycle 25, which is slightly lower than the aforementioned predicted value, and 39 + or - 4 and 31 + or - 6 for the values of northern- and southern-hemispheres' sunspot numbers at the maximum epoch of Solar Cycle 25. Overall, our results suggest that the amplitude of Solar Cycle 25 would be 25%-40% smaller, and the corresponding north-south asymmetry would be much smaller, than those of Solar Cycle 24.

description: IGST 2019, Stockholm, Sweden, 15 Jul 2019 - 19 Jul 2019
description: Extended objects or "defects" are of fundamental importance in CFT, examples include boundaries, interfaces, and surface defects, and also Wilson and 't Hooft lines in gauge theories. In this talk we will give an overview of the bootstrap program applied to defect CFTs. We will present a version of crossing symmetry analogous to crossing symmetry for four-point functions in bulk CFTs, and explain how to constrain theories with it.
Geometry of quantum correlations

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2008
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Consider the set Q of quantum correlation vectors for two observers, each with two possible binary measurements. Quadric (hyperbolic) inequalities which are satisfied by every vector in Q are proved, and equality holds on a two dimensional manifold consisting of the local boxes, and all the quantum correlation vectors that maximally violate the Clauser, Horne, Shimony, and Holt (CHSH) inequality. The quadric inequalities are tightly related to CHSH, they are their iterated versions (equation 20). Consequently, it is proved that Q is contained in a hyperbolic cube whose axes lie along the non-local (Popescu, Rohrlich) boxes. As an application, a tight constraint on the rate of local boxes that must be present in every quantum correlation is derived. The inequalities allow testing the validity of quantum mechanics on the basis of data available from experiments which test the violation of CHSH. It is noted how these results can be generalized to the case of n sites, each with two possible binary measurements.

The problem of form in Gyorgy Ligeti’s Automne a Varsovie, from Etudes pour piano, premier livre
Creators: name: Townsend, Alexandra
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Composed in 1985, Ligeti's first book of six piano etudes is both a challenging and intriguing addition to the pianist's repertoire. This D.M.A. thesis begins with a general survey of the piano etude genre, followed by a brief discussion of Ligeti and his compositional style as demonstrated in some of his principal works. Hemiola, fractal math, the music of Conlon Nancarrow, and the music of the Central African Republic are then discussed as influences on the etudes. Automne a Varsovie, the final etude from the set of six, is analyzed with reference to its "lament theme," and to phrase structure, melodic organization, and the use of pitch and pitch-class space. The form is then contemplated in relation to ideas presented in writings by Jonathan Kramer and Edward T. Cone. Automne a Varsovie presents a formal problem: it can be perceived and understood both as a process and as a structure. Moreover, the three main divisions in the piece, where a climax is approached but then abruptly cut off, raise challenges for conventional analysis. In dealing with issues of the perception and interpretation of the etude's form, this study of Automne a Varsovie attempts to address the pianist's concerns in preparing a performance of this work.

description: In a soccer game, the information provided by detecting and tracking brings crucial clues to further analyze and understand some tactical aspects of the game, including individual and team actions. State-of-the-art tracking algorithms achieve impressive results in scenarios on which they have been trained for, but they fail in challenging ones such as soccer games. This is frequently due to the player small relative size and the similar appearance among players of the same team. Although a straightforward solution would be to retrain these models by using a more specific dataset, the lack of such publicly available annotated datasets entails searching for other effective solutions. In this work, we propose a self-supervised pipeline which is able to detect and track low-resolution soccer players under different recording conditions without any need of ground-truth data. Extensive quantitative and qualitative experimental results are presented evaluating its performance. We also present a comparison to several state-of-the-art methods showing that both the proposed detector and the proposed tracker achieve top-tier results, in particular in the presence of small players.

description: In our daily work, small self-made scripts, home-grown small applications and small hardware devices significantly help us to get work done. These little helpers - “little minions” - often reduce our workload or optimise our workflows, although they are not often presented to the outside world and the research community. Instead, we generally focus on presenting the results of our research and silently use our small tools to generate these, without not even pointing to them, especially to the source code or building instructions. In archaeology, research software is underrepresented in conference talks as well as in research publications. We have to promote these little minions in the RSE community and make them visible. That is why we created a Working Group for Little Minions at the CAA (https://caa-international.org) conference for digital archaeological research and created a session that focus on these “little minions” and invite researchers to share their little helpers, so that the scientific community may benefit and - perhaps - create spontaneously special minion interest groups. In such a minion session we are focussing on lightning talks - aka “minion talks” - where a wide range of tools are shared. Each “minion talk” explains the innovative character and mode of operation of the digital tool. Open Science is the aim of the little minions. Therefore, our aim is that all minions are non-proprietary, open and freely available (e.g. GitHub, GitLab, etc.). The last are not obligatory and tools that are not (yet) available can also be accepted.A constantly expanding list of little minions can be found at https://github.com/caa-minions/minions. In this poster we will present our concept to promote research software at scientific conferences and share our experience on the idea.

description: We present results on the charge dependence of the radiative recombination lifetime, Tau, and the emission energy of excitons confined to single self-assembled InGaAs quantum dots. There are significant dot-to-dot fluctuations in the lifetimes for a particular emission energy. To reach general conclusions, we present the statistical behavior by analyzing data recorded on a large number of individual quantum dots. Exciton charge is controlled with extremely high fidelity through an n-type field effect structure, providing access to the neutral exciton (X0), the biexciton (2X0) and the positively (X1+) and negatively (X1-) charged excitons. We find significant differences in the recombination lifetime of each exciton such that, on average, Tau(X1-) / Tau(X0) = 1.25, Tau(X1+) / Tau(X0) = 1.58 and Tau(2X0) / Tau(X0) = 0.65. We attribute the change in lifetime to significant changes in the single particle hole wave function on charging the dot, an effect more pronounced on charging X0 with a single hole than with a single electron. We verify this interpretation by recasting the experimental data on exciton energies in terms of Coulomb energies. We show directly that the electron-hole Coulomb energy is charge dependent, reducing in value by 5-10% in the presence of an additional electron, and that the electron-electron and hole-hole Coulomb energies are almost equal.

description: In this pedestrian approach I give my personal point of view on the various problems posed by dark matter in the universe. After a brief historical overview I discuss the various solutions stemming from high energy particle physics, and the current status of experimental research on candidate particles (WIMPS). In the absence of direct evidence, the theories can still be evaluated by comparing their implications for the formation of galaxies, clusters and superclusters of galaxies against astronomical observations. I conclude briefly with the attempts to circumvent the dark matter problem by modifying the laws of gravity.
