SHPO-CON-426: Re: Section 106 Consultation for Ground Based Strategic Deterrent Test Program, Vandenberg AFB
Creators: name: Polanco, Julianne
Year: 2021

description: This document is a Section 106 letter from the California State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) for the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD) Test Program. The letter is in response to the transmittal letter submitted by Vandenberg Air Force Base (VAFB) dated 12 January 2021. The SHPO response addresses several requests and provides concurrence for 1) the project area of potential effect, 2) 12 archaeological sites (CA-SBA-1777, 2159H, 2172, 2224, 2238, 2244, 2245, 2307, 1759, 2876, 3203 and 3562H) determined not eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NR), 3) 5 built environment resources, Facility 6809 and 6810, 7501, 9320, 9325, 9327, determined not eligible for the NR, 4) the archaeological site CA-SBA-2127 that was previously incorrectly assigned a determination of eligible for the NR when that status correctly belonged to CA-SBA-760/761/1748, and now is correctly determined not eligible individually or as a historic district contributor, 5) a determination of eligibility (DOE) of eligible for archaeological site CA-SBA-1687 as a contributor to the San Antonio Terrace Archaeological District, however was determined not eligible individually or as a contributor to a historic district. The letter also mentions that although the project description addresses 15 facilities and complexes that will be repurposed and reused for the GBSD program, no construction dates, DOEs, or facility identification numbers were provided. The letter also requests that VAFB provide an updated summary of tribal consultation with the Santa Ynez Band of Chumash Indians. The SHPO also requests information on the design alternatives and efforts to avoid and/or minimize the undertaking's effect on historic properties. Last, the SHPO notes that it is unable to comment on the USAFs finding of no adverse effect at the present time.

description: The observed angular power spectrum of the cosmic microwave background temperature anisotropy, $C_l$, is a convolution of a cosmological radiative transport kernel with an assumed primordial power spectrum of inhomogeneities. Exquisite measurements of $C_l$ over a wide range of multipoles from the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) has opened up the possibility to deconvolve the primordial power spectrum for a given set of cosmological parameters (base model). We implement an improved (error sensitive) Richardson-Lucy deconvolution algorithm on the measured angular power spectrum from WMAP assuming a concordance cosmological model. The most prominent feature of the recovered $P(k)$ is a sharp, infra-red cut off on the horizon scale. The resultant $C_l$ spectrum using the recovered spectrum has a likelihood far better than a scale invariant, or, `best fit' scale free spectra ($Δ\ln{\cal L}=25$ {\it w.r.t.} Harrison Zeldovich, and, $Δ\ln{\cal L}=11$ {\it w.r.t.} power law with $n_s=0.95$). The recovered $P(k)$ has a localized excess just below the cut-off which leads to great improvement of likelihood over the simple monotonic forms of model infra-red cut-off spectra considered in the post WMAP literature. The recovered $P(k)$, in particular, the form of infra-red cut-off is robust to small changes in the cosmological parameters. We show that remarkably similar form of infra-red cutoff is known to arise in very reasonable extensions and refinements of the predictions from simple inflationary scenarios. Our method can be extended to other cosmological observations such as the measured matter power spectrum and, in particular, the much awaited polarization spectrum from WMAP.

Teaching Ethics as a Practical Exercise in Reflexion in a project-based Engineering Course
Creators: name: Krüger, Marcel

name: Pfaff, Felix
Publisher: name: European Society for Engineering Education (SEFI)
Year: 2023

description: The implementation of ethics in engineering courses often faces several intertwined problems. For example, there is widespread moral relativism, ethics is often confused with moralism on the one hand and with pro-contra discussions on the other, there are difficulties with the degree of abstraction being too high, or ethics is relativised as one method for decision-making among many others. Furthermore, in many cases, ethics is suspected of being artificially introduced into engineering. In the context of a project-based course at a German university, we took up these challenges and developed an innovative teaching format whose focus is not on theories and methods. Instead, we implemented ethics education as a practical exercise of reflection. Based on situations in students’ project life, we engaged in open conversations addressing aspects of their practice that tend to be overlooked under conventional conditions: boundary conditions of their engineering actions, preconditions of their judgements, and criteria for justifying their decisions. Instead of reacting to problems reflexively, and thus blindly accepting them, we wanted to enable students to examine problems critically. In this way, we aimed to enable the students to adopt a (reasonable and therefore) responsible attitude toward their actions and their boundary conditions. In our contribution, we first discuss the preconditions: the project-based four-month full-time course with an industrial partner. Second, we explain and justify our philosophical approach. Third, we describe the implementation of our approach followed by the evaluation. Finally, we conclude our findings and outline next steps.

How quantum evolution with memory is generated in a time-local way

description: Two widely used but distinct approaches to the dynamics of open quantum systems are the Nakajima-Zwanzig and time-convolutionless quantum master equation, respectively. Although both describe identical quantum evolutions with strong memory effects, the first uses a time-nonlocal memory kernel $\mathcal{K}$, whereas the second achieves the same using a time-local generator $\mathcal{G}$. Here we show that the two are connected by a simple yet general fixed-point relation: $\mathcal{G} = \hat{\mathcal{K}}[\mathcal{G}]$. This allows one to extract nontrivial relations between the two completely different ways of computing the time-evolution and combine their strengths. We first discuss the stationary generator, which enables a Markov approximation that is both nonperturbative and completely positive for a large class of evolutions. We show that this generator is not equal to the low-frequency limit of the memory kernel, but additionally "samples" it at nonzero characteristic frequencies. This clarifies the subtle roles of frequency dependence and semigroup factorization in existing Markov approximation strategies. Second, we prove that the fixed-point equation sums up the time-domain gradient / Moyal expansion for the time-nonlocal quantum master equation, providing nonperturbative insight into the generation of memory effects. Finally, we show that the fixed-point relation enables a direct iterative numerical computation of both the stationary and the transient generator from a given memory kernel. For the transient generator this produces non-semigroup approximations which are constrained to be both initially and asymptotically accurate at each iteration step.

COMMENTS: In the original description, Cabanis based his description on the single Emin specimen identified by Hartlaub (1882a: 202) as Penthetria concolor. However, Cabanis’ name is a junior primary homonym of Penthetria hartlaubi Barboza du Bocage, 1878, and thus permanently invalid (ICZN, 1999: 59, Art. 57.2).

description: Concern over nutritional deterioration and growing food import dependency has increased during the last decade in Sub-Saharan Africa. Between 1961 and 1988, Sub-Saharan Africa's dairy imports increased nearly sixfold, growing at an annual rate of 6.5 percent. This trend is a cause for concern as high import growth is financially difficult to sustain. This paper evaluates factors affecting dairy imports in 39 countries. The results indicate that government policies encouraged import growth in most of the countries included in the study. The welfare effects of import policies, such as direct import or consumer price subsidies, exchange rate overvaluations, and distribution of food aid imports, are reviewed in addition to the policies of exporting countries. The study covered the period 1961 to 1988, with a particular focus on 1977-88, years for which food aid data were available.

We use two three-level atoms in $Λ$ configuration interacting with a two-mode cavity and the Raman adiabatic passage technique for the production of the four-particle entangled state. Using this four-particle entanglement, we study for the first time various aspects of the strong subadditivity inequality.

Convergence analysis of multi-level spectral deferred corrections

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The spectral deferred correction (SDC) method is class of iterative solvers for ordinary differential equations (ODEs). It can be interpreted as a preconditioned Picard iteration for the collocation problem. The convergence of this method is well-known, for suitable problems it gains one order per iteration up to the order of the quadrature method of the collocation problem provided. This appealing feature enables an easy creation of flexible, high-order accurate methods for ODEs. A variation of SDC are multi-level spectral deferred corrections (MLSDC). Here, iterations are performed on a hierarchy of levels and an FAS correction term, as in nonlinear multigrid methods, couples solutions on different levels. While there are several numerical examples which show its capabilities and efficiency, a theoretical convergence proof is still missing. This paper addresses this issue. A proof of the convergence of MLSDC, including the determination of the convergence rate in the time-step size, will be given and the results of the theoretical analysis will be numerically demonstrated. It turns out that there are restrictions for the advantages of this method over SDC regarding the convergence rate.

description: Common reporting styles for statistical results in scientific articles, such as p-values and confidence intervals (CI), have been reported to be prone to dichotomous interpretations, especially with respect to the null hypothesis significance testing framework. For example when the p-value is small enough or the CIs of the mean effects of a studied drug and a placebo are not overlapping, scientists tend to claim significant differences while often disregarding the magnitudes and absolute differences in the effect sizes. This type of reasoning has been shown to be potentially harmful to science. Techniques relying on the visual estimation of the strength of evidence have been recommended to reduce such dichotomous interpretations but their effectiveness has also been challenged. We ran two experiments on researchers with expertise in statistical analysis to compare several alternative representations of confidence intervals and used Bayesian multilevel models to estimate the effects of the representation styles on differences in researchers' subjective confidence in the results. We also asked the respondents' opinions and preferences in representation styles. Our results suggest that adding visual information to classic CI representation can decrease the tendency towards dichotomous interpretations - measured as the `cliff effect': the sudden drop in confidence around p-value 0.05 - compared with classic CI visualization and textual representation of the CI with p-values.

Nuclear Stellar Populations in the Infrared Space Observatory Atlas of Bright Spiral Galaxies

description: To understand the nuclear stellar populations and star formation histories of the nuclei of spiral galaxies, we have obtained K-band nuclear spectra for 41 galaxies and H-band spectra for 20 galaxies in the ISO Atlas of Bright Spiral Galaxies. In the vast majority of the subsample (80%), the near-infrared spectra suggest that evolved red stars completely dominate the nuclear stellar populations and that hot young stars are virtually non-existent. The signatures of recent star formation activity are only found in 20% of the subsample, even though older red stars still dominate the stellar populations in these galaxies. Given the dominance of evolved stars in most galaxy nuclei and the nature of the emission lines in the galaxies where they were detected, we suggest that nuclear star formation proceeds in the form of instantaneous bursts. The stars produced by these bursts comprise only ~2% of the total nuclear stellar mass in these galaxies, but we demonstrate how the nuclear stellar populations of normal spiral galaxies can be built up through a series of these bursts. The bursts were detected only in Sbc galaxies and later, and both bars and interactions appeared to be sufficient but not necessary triggers for the nuclear star formation activity. The vast majority of galaxies with nuclear star formation were classified as HII galaxies. With one exception, LINERs and transition objects were dominated by older red stars, which suggested that star formation was not responsible for generating these galaxies' optical line emission.

description: Many segments of the beef cattle industry have raised concerns that the live cattle negotiated market has become too thin. The percentage of live cattle procured through direct negotiations has declined to about 15%, while the percentage procured through formulas has increased to almost 70%. Most of these formulas are based on negotiated cattle prices. Proposed legislation mandating that a larger percentage of live cattle be procured through negotiations represents a market intervention. We show that live cattle futures prices are good proxies for negotiated cash prices, while being less restrictive for meeting proposed cattle procurement percentage requirements.

HOLOTYPE: AMNH 725468, adult male, collected southwest of the Juba River, East Africa, in December 1912, by A. Blayley Percival (no. 1145). From the Rothschild Collection.
COMMENTS: In the original description, van Someren gave Percival’s number of the holotype, noted that the range was southwest of the Juba River, and said that he knew of five adult males from the same locality. Percival was a game warden in Kenya and the collecting locality of the holotype was probably in the Kenyan portion of the area called ‘‘Jubaland’’ by Chapin (1954a), 00.20S to 03.00N, 40.10E to 43.00E. The holotype was the only specimen that came to AMNH with the Rothschild Collection.
Dickinson (2003: 724) listed jubaensis as a subspecies of A. melanotis, but in a later corrigendum noted that melanotis Lafresnaye was a primary homonym (in Ploceus) and is thus permanently unavailable (ICZN, 1999: 59, Art 57.2). For a discussion of the nomenclature of this species, see Oschadleus (2009).

Our empirical results indicate that their conclusions are not invariant to model specification or sample size. Utilizing Barro's procedure and by better accounting for the appropriate biological lags in livestock supply, we obtain only scant support for the money neutrality hypothesis.

description: We introduce a simple new approach to the problem of understanding documents where non-trivial layout influences the local semantics. To this end, we modify the Transformer encoder architecture in a way that allows it to use layout features obtained from an OCR system, without the need to re-learn language semantics from scratch. We only augment the input of the model with the coordinates of token bounding boxes, avoiding, in this way, the use of raw images. This leads to a layout-aware language model which can then be fine-tuned on downstream tasks. The model is evaluated on an end-to-end information extraction task using four publicly available datasets: Kleister NDA, Kleister Charity, SROIE and CORD. We show that our model achieves superior performance on datasets consisting of visually rich documents, while also outperforming the baseline RoBERTa on documents with flat layout (NDA \(F_{1}\) increase from 78.50 to 80.42). Our solution ranked first on the public leaderboard for the Key Information Extraction from the SROIE dataset, improving the SOTA \(F_{1}\)-score from 97.81 to 98.17.

description: Can food-secure students be nudged to “pay it forward” at a three-tier pricing café, using a poster reflecting research on the motivations behind charitable behavior? We conducted two studies examining the effect of a poster in nudging food secure students to pay an extra $5 to support food insecure students at the UBC Foooood Café. In Study 1, sales data for each pricing option at the café ($5/$10/$15) was analyzed to see if $15-option sales would increase after the poster was displayed. In Study 2, we used an online survey in which we manipulated whether participants were shown the poster, to see if the poster would increase $15 choices as well as motivations to donate. We also measured participants’ food-security to see how motivations to donate and price choices differed by food insecurity. In both studies, the poster did not have the desired effect, with $15 purchases decreasing in Study 1. However, our exploratory analyses found that food secure and insecure participants differ in their motivations to donate and in their price choices. These results may provide important insight into the cafe’s sustainability, boosting donations, and the efficacy of the pay-it-forward business model.

The system generates projections of market outcomes from linkages between domestic prices and exogenous reference prices, given exogenous macroeconomic conditions and user-specified endogenous economic relationships. The model-builder can accommodate 46 cross-linked commodity models, including grains, cotton, sugar, oilseeds and products, animal inventories, and meats, milk, and eggs.

COMMON PROPERTY, RESOURCE RENT AND UNCERTAINTY: WITH AN APPLICATION TO THE NEW ENGLAND GROUNDFISH FLEET
Creators: name: Greenwood, Peter H.

Subjects: Resource /Energy Economics and Policy

description: This paper investigates the conditions for private resource equilibrium in an industry exploiting competitively a common property resource when private returns are uncertain. When firms display risk aversion it is argued that the compensation for risk bearing should be viewed as an appropriate resource rent. This rent is not fully dissipated when private resources have no incentive to either exit or enter as it would be when returns are certain. The magnitude of uncertainty in the New England ground fish fleet is investigated, and the level of rent appears to be consequential.

description: All proper scoring rules incentivize an expert to predict \emph{accurately} (report their true estimate), but not all proper scoring rules equally incentivize \emph{precision}. Rather than treating the expert's belief as exogenously given, we consider a model where a rational expert can endogenously refine their belief by repeatedly paying a fixed cost, and is incentivized to do so by a proper scoring rule. Specifically, our expert aims to predict the probability that a biased coin flipped tomorrow will land heads, and can flip the coin any number of times today at a cost of $c$ per flip. Our first main result defines an \emph{incentivization index} for proper scoring rules, and proves that this index measures the expected error of the expert's estimate (where the number of flips today is chosen adaptively to maximize the predictor's expected payoff). Our second main result finds the unique scoring rule which optimizes the incentivization index over all proper scoring rules. We also consider extensions to minimizing the $\ell^{th}$ moment of error, and again provide an incentivization index and optimal proper scoring rule. In some cases, the resulting scoring rule is differentiable, but not infinitely differentiable. In these cases, we further prove that the optimum can be uniformly approximated by polynomial scoring rules. Finally, we compare common scoring rules via our measure, and include simulations confirming the relevance of our measure even in domains outside where it provably applies.

description: We have measured the high field magnetoresistence and magnetization of quasi-one- dimensional (Q1D) organic conductor (Per)2Pt(mnt)2 (where Per = perylene and mnt = maleonitriledithiolate), which has a charge density wave (CDW) ground state at zero magnetic field below 8 K. We find that the CDW ground state is suppressed with moderate magnetic fields of order 20 T, as expected from a mean field theory treatment of Pauli effects[W. Dieterich and P. Fulde, Z. Physik 265, 239 - 243 (1973)]. At higher magnetic fields, a new, density wave state with sub-phases is observed in the range 20 to 50 T, which is reminiscent of the cascade of field induced, quantized, spin density wave phases (FISDW) observed in the Bechgaard salts. The new density wave state, which we tenatively identify as a field induced charge density wave state (FICDW), is re-entrant to a low resistance state at even higher fields, of order 50 T and above. Unlike the FISDW ground state, the FICDW state is only weakly orbital, and appears for all directions of magnetic field. Our findings are substantiated by electrical resistivity, magnetization, thermoelectric, and Hall measurements. We discuss our results in light of theoretical work involving magnetic field dependent Q1D CDW ground states in high magnetic fields [D. Zanchi, A. Bjelis, and G. Montambaux, Phys. Rev. B 53, (1996)1240; A. Lebed, JETP Lett. 78,138(2003)].

A polynomial time algorithm for studying physical observables in chaotic eigenstates

description: We introduce an algorithm, the Orthogonal Operator Polynomial Expansion (OOPEX), to approximately compute expectation values in energy eigenstates at finite energy density of non-integrable quantum many-body systems with polynomial effort, whereas exact diagonalization (ED) of the Hamiltonian $H$ is exponentially hard. The OOPEX relies on the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis, which conjectures that eigenstate expectation values of physical observables in such systems vary smoothly with the eigenstate energy (and other macroscopic conserved quantities, if any), and computes them through a series generated by repeated multiplications, rather than diagonalization, of $H$ and whose successive terms oscillate faster with the energy. The hypothesis guarantees that only the first few terms of this series contribute appreciably. We further show that the OOPEX, in a sense, is the most optimum algorithm based on series expansions of $H$ as it avoids computing the many-body density of states which plagues other similar algorithms. Then, we argue non-rigorously that working in the Fock space of operators, rather than that of states as is usually done, yields convergent results with computational resources that scale polynomially with $N$. We demonstrate the polynomial scaling by applying the OOPEX to the non-integrable Ising chain and comparing with ED and high-temperature expansion (HTX) results. The OOPEX provides access to much larger $N$ than ED and HTX do, which facilitates overcoming finite-size effects that plague the other methods to extract correlation lengths in chaotic eigenstates. In addition, access to large systems allows testing a recent conjecture that the Renyi entropy of chaotic eigenstates has positive curvature if the Renyi index $>1$, and we find encouraging supporting evidence.

description: We study experimentally the Bloch-wave instabilities in optically-induced lattices. We reveal two different instability scenarios associated with either the transverse modulational instability of a single Bloch wave, or the nonlinear inter-band coupling between different Bloch waves. These effects are compared with the transverse instability in homogeneous media, and it is shown that the periodic modulation of the refractive index greatly enhances the transverse instability.

description: Malimbus malimbica melanobrephos Hartert
Malimbus malimbica melanobrephos Hartert, 1907a: 491 (Gold Coast).
Now Malimbus malimbicus nigrifrons (Hartlaub, 1855). See Hartert, 1919: 140; Moreau and Greenway, 1962: 59–60; Dickinson, 2003: 724; Fry and Keith, 2004: 89–92; and Craig, 2010: 195.
HOLOTYPE: AMNH 725054, unsexed [male adult], collected in Ghana (= Gold Coast), Fanti preparation. From the Rothschild Collection (no. 719).
COMMENTS: In the original description, Hartert gave the number ‘‘719’’ for the type; the Rothschild Collection was never cataloged, but this number has been added to the Rothschild type label. There is no other label. Hartert gave the range of melanobrephos as ‘‘ Upper Guinea from Liberia to the Gold Coast and Togo.’’ None of the other specimens from these localities that came to AMNH are dated and it is not possible to know whether Hartert had them in hand when he named melanobrephos; they appear for the most part to be specimens that were purchased from a dealer and have minimum data.

description: A set of canonical parahermitian connections on an almost paraHermitian manifold is defined. ParaHermitian version of the Apostolov-Gauduchon generalization of the Goldberg-Sachs theorem in General Relativity is given. It is proved that the Nijenhuis tensor of a Nearly paraKähler manifolds is parallel with respect to the canonical connection. Salamon's twistor construction on quaternionic manifold is adapted to the paraquaternionic case. A hyper-paracomplex structure is constructed on Kodaira-Thurston (properly elliptic) surfaces as well as on the Inoe surfaces modeled on $Sol^4_1$. A locally conformally flat hyper-paraKähler (hypersymplectic) structure with parallel Lee form on Kodaira-Thurston surfaces is obtained. Anti-self-dual non-Weyl flat neutral metric on Inoe surfaces modeled on $Sol^4_1$ is presented. An example of anti-self-dual neutral metric which is not locally conformally hyper-paraKähler is constructed.

description: Although recent studies have shown that electricity systems with shares of wind and solar above 80% can be affordable, economists have raised concerns about market integration. Correlated generation from variable renewable sources depresses market prices, which can cause wind and solar to cannibalise their own revenues and prevent them from covering their costs from the market. This cannibalisation appears to set limits on the integration of wind and solar, and thus to contradict studies that show that high shares are cost effective. Here we show from theory and with simulation examples how market incentives interact with prices, revenue and costs for renewable electricity systems. The decline in average revenue seen in some recent literature is due to an implicit policy assumption that technologies are forced into the system, whether it be with subsidies or quotas. This decline is mathematically guaranteed regardless of whether the subsidised technology is variable or not. If instead the driving policy is a carbon dioxide cap or tax, wind and solar shares can rise without cannibalising their own market revenue, even at penetrations of wind and solar above 80%. The strong dependence of market value on the policy regime means that market value needs to be used with caution as a measure of market integration. Declining market value is not necessarily a sign of integration problems, but rather a result of policy choices.
