On singularly perturbed linear cocyles over irrational rotations

Subjects: subject: Dynamical Systems (math.DS)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We study a linear cocycle over irrational rotation $σ_ω(x) = x + ω$ of a circle $\mathbb{T}^{1}$. It is supposed the cocycle is generated by a $C^{1}$-map $A_{\varepsilon}: \mathbb{T}^{1} \to SL(2, \mathbb{R})$ which depends on a small parameter $\varepsilon\ll 1$ and has the form of the Poincaré map corresponding to a singularly perturbed Schrödinger equation. Under assumption the eigenvalues of $A_{\varepsilon}(x)$ to be of the form $\exp(\pm λ(x)/\varepsilon)$, where $λ(x)$ is a positive function, we examine the property of the cocycle to possess an exponential dichotomy (ED) with respect to the parameter $\varepsilon$. We show that in the limit $\varepsilon\to 0$ the cocycle "typically" exhibits ED only if it is exponentially close to a constant cocycle. In contrary, if the cocycle is not close to a constant one it does not posesses ED, whereas the Lyapunov exponent is "typically" large.

description: We measured the bias and correlation factor of galaxies with respect to the dark matter using the aperture statistics including the aperture mass from weak gravitational lensing. The analysis was performed for three galaxy samples selected by R-band magnitudes; the median redshifts of the samples were $\ave{z}=0.34,0.49$ and 0.65, respectively. The brightest sample has the strongest peak in redshift and can therefore be most accurately represented by a single redshift. The data used is the GaBoDS, and the COMBO-17 survey for an accurate estimate of the redshift distribution of the galaxies. Assuming the currently favoured $Λ\rm CDM$ model as cosmology, we obtained values for the linear stochastic galaxy-dark matter bias on angular scales $1^\prime\leθ\le20^\prime$. Averaging the measurements for the bias over the range $4^\prime\le θ_{\rm ap}\le 18^\prime$, weighting with the cosmic variance error, yields $b=0.89(5), 0.79(5), 0.89(5)$, respectively ($1σ$). As for the correlation factor $r$ we see, as Hoekstra et al. (2002), a slight increase to $r=1$ in the last angular bin from an almost constant value on smaller scales; the weighted average here over the same range as before is $r=0.8(1), 0.8(1), 0.5(1)$, respectively (abridged).

description: This paper assesses empirically the impact of the participation in the microcredit program of the Grameen Bank on consumption of participating households. A household level survey was carried out for collecting data (N=521). The results of the empirical estimations indicate that the participation of a household in the microcredit program of the Grameen Bank increases consumption of participating households significantly. But there is non-linearity in the increasing trend in consumption of participating households. The consumption level goes up gradually with the increase in the membership duration up to five years of membership, but the growth rate starts declining after that period of membership.

description: The study intends to assess the impact of the participation in the microcredit programs in Bangladesh on women entrepreneurship development at the household level. The main objective is to see whether the participation in the microcredit programs help participating women to start their own businesses and to create employment for other people. The analysis is based on a household-level survey of 920 (N=920) households. The sample households have been selected randomly from the participants of top three microfinance instructions, Grameen Bank, BRAC and ASA, in Bangladesh. The results indicate that the participation in the microcredit programs does not promote women entrepreneurship at the household level. But, the results indicate that the same participation significantly increases capital of existing businesses of participating households.

description: Photon number resolving detectors are the ultimate measurement of quantum optics, which is the reason why developing the technology is getting significant attention in recent years. With this arises the question of how to evaluate the performance of the detectors. We suggest that performance of a photon number detector can be evaluated by comparing it to a multiplex of on-off detectors in a practical scenario: conditional preparation of a photon number state. Here, both the quality of the prepared state and the probability of the preparation are limited by the number of on-off detectors in the multiplex, which allows us to set benchmarks that can be achieved or surpassed by the photon number resolving detectors.

description: We introduce a new measure called reduced entropy of sublattice to quantify entanglement in spin, electron and boson systems. By analyzing this quantity, we reveal an intriguing connection between quantum entanglement and quantum phase transitions in various strongly correlated systems: the local extremes of reduced entropy and its first derivative as functions of the coupling constant coincide respectively with the first and second order transition points. Exact numerical studies merely for small lattices reproduce several well-known results, demonstrating that our scenario is quite promising for exploring quantum phase transitions.

description: Competitive bidding (as auctions) is commonly used to procure goods and services. Public buyers are often mandated by law to adopt competitive procedures to ensure transparency and promote full competition. Recent theoretical literature, however, suggests that open competition can perform poorly in allocating complex projects. In exploring the determinants of suppliers’ bidding behavior in procurement auctions for complex IT services, we find results that are consistent with theory. We find that price and quality do not exhibit the classical tradeoff one would expect: quite surprisingly, high quality is associated to low prices. Furthermore, while quality is mainly driven by suppliers’ experience, price is affected more by the scoring rule and by the level of expected competition. These results might suggest that (scoring) auctions fail to appropriately incorporate buyers’ complex price/quality preferences in the tender design.

description: Policy has increasingly shifted towards economic incentives and liability attenuation for promoting cleanup and redevelopment of contaminated sites, but little is known about the effectiveness of such policies. An example of such legislation is State Voluntary Cleanup Programs (VCPs), which were established in the US in the 1990s and to date have been implemented in almost every state. We examine Baltimore properties that participated in the Maryland VCP from its inception in 1997 to the end of 2006. Specifically, we examine what type of properties tend to participate in these programs, how these properties compare to other eligible but non-participating sites, and what is the redevelopment potential of VCP properties and implications towards open space conversion. We find that most applicants (66%) actually requested a “No Further Action Determination” directly, rather than proposing cleanup. VCP properties tend to be industrial, located in industrial areas, and away from residential neighborhoods. In more recent years larger industrial properties have increasingly enrolled in the program. The majority of sites are reused as industrial or commercial. In contrast to Alberini (2007), this suggests that pressure for residential development does not drive VCP participation. Based on differences in zoning requirements, the VCP may reduce demand for potentially contaminating activities on pristine land by as much as 1,238 to 6,444 acres, in Baltimore alone.

Social physique anxiety, body-size dissatisfaction, and restrained eating among non-exercising, recreationally exercising, and competitively exercising women
Creators: name: Yarker, Kristen Vaughan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Objectification theory states that in the socio-cultural context of North America women feel much pressure to have a thin, fit, ideal body. It is hypothesized that exercise, food attitudes, and women's feelings about their bodies are linked. Also, doubts have been raised about whether exercise is associated with positive well-being for women in North America. The primary purpose of this study was to determine whether exercise was associated with food attitudes and women's feelings about their bodies. The secondary purpose was to investigate whether women who exercised competitively differed from women who exercised recreationally in food attitudes and feelings about their bodies. This was investigated as much of the exercise literature is based on samples of competitive athletes, and it is unknown how representative these women are of the majority of women who exercise recreationally. A third purpose was to investigate whether food attitudes were associated with women's feelings about their bodies. The Three Factor Eating Questionnaire (TFEQ) measured food attitudes, namely dietary restraint, disinhibition of dietary restraint, and susceptibility to hunger. Participants' feelings about their bodies were measured by the Social Physique Anxiety Scale (measured social physique anxiety), the Contour Drawing Rating Scale (measured body-size dissatisfaction), and a question regarding individuals' concern with differences between their current and ideal body sizes. The Godin Leisure Time Exercise Questionnaire measured habitual exercise activity. A convenience sample of 52 competitive, 61 recreational, and 53 non-exercising female UBC students, mean age 21.7 ± 3.6 years, completed questionnaires. No difference existed amongst the groups for body-size dissatisfaction. Competitive exercisers had more positive feelings about their bodies than recreational and non-exercisers, and less dietary restraint than recreational exercisers. Recreational exercisers did not have more positive feelings about their bodies than non-exercisers, and reported more dietary restraint. Each exercise group had individual patterns of interrelationships amongst exercise, food attitudes, and feelings about their bodies. Therefore, the results only partially supported objectification theory because while exercise, food attitudes, and women's feelings about their bodies were linked, their relationships were complex and variable depending on a woman's exercise habits.

Parker Instability in a Self-Gravitating Magnetized Gas Disk: I. Linear Stability Analysis

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: To be a formation mechanism of such large-scale structures as giant molecular clouds (GMCs) and HI superclouds, the classical Parker instability driven by external gravity has to overcome three major obstacles: The convective motion accompanying the instability generates thin sheets than large condensations. The degree of density enhancement achieved by the instability is too low to make dense interstellar clouds. The time and the length scales of the instability are significantly longer and larger than the estimated formation time and the observed mean separation of the GMCs, respectively. This paper examines whether a replacement of the driving agent from the external to the self gravity might remove these obstacles by activating the gravitational instability in the Galactic ISM disk. The self gravity can suppress the convective motions, and a cooperative action of the Jeans and the Parker instabilities can remove all the obstacles confronting the classical version of the Parker instability. The mass and mean separation of the structures resulting from the odd-parity undular mode solution are shown to agree better with the HI superclouds than with the GMCs. We briefly discuss how inclusions of the external gravity and cosmic rays would modify behaviors of the odd-parity undular mode solution.

description: We present a capacity-achieving coding scheme for unicast or multicast over lossy packet networks. In the scheme, intermediate nodes perform additional coding yet do not decode nor even wait for a block of packets before sending out coded packets. Rather, whenever they have a transmission opportunity, they send out coded packets formed from random linear combinations of previously received packets. All coding and decoding operations have polynomial complexity. We show that the scheme is capacity-achieving as long as packets received on a link arrive according to a process that has an average rate. Thus, packet losses on a link may exhibit correlation in time or with losses on other links. In the special case of Poisson traffic with i.i.d. losses, we give error exponents that quantify the rate of decay of the probability of error with coding delay. Our analysis of the scheme shows that it is not only capacity-achieving, but that the propagation of packets carrying "innovative" information follows the propagation of jobs through a queueing network, and therefore fluid flow models yield good approximations. We consider networks with both lossy point-to-point and broadcast links, allowing us to model both wireline and wireless packet networks.

description: NMITE’s Master’s in Integrated Engineering (MEng) was created with a unique philosophy of integrating not only traditionally separate strands of engineering, but also of integrating engineering with other disciplines such as arts, humanities, and business. This broad and deep integration is made possible by adopting the principles and practices of problem-based learning (PBL) and embedding them within predetermined module challenges. In this way, each PBL challenge highlights and hones areas of engineering expertise and embeds liberal subjects whilst maintaining the integration intrinsic to the programme. Overall, this method supports the use of block learning with deep integration of employers and the community in the educational experience.

Statistical properties of swarm dynamics in the weak noise limit are further analytically investigated.

description: This paper examines the economics of introducing conservation tillage into maize cropping systems in the state of Jalisco, in the western part of Mexico. A stochastic cost-benefit analysis (SCBA) of introducing conservation tillage in two contrasting agro-climatic zones in the four main maize management systems in the area was carried out. The SCBA takes into account the effects of conservation tillage on average returns and fully evaluates its potential risk-reducing aspect. The SCBA results were then used for a stochastic dominance analysis to evaluate farmers' incentives, characterized by their aversion to risk. The analysis reveals that although conservation tillage is economically viable, cash-constrained farmers, especially in the dry areas, may not readily adopt it. This is because conservation tillage is not adapted to small-scale farmers in Mexico, who lack seeding equipment and need techniques that are less reliant on herbicides. It is suggested that more work should be done with the participation of farmers in the region to attain a conservation tillage system that is better adapted to their circumstances.

description: This paper explores social arrangements associated with seed transactions among small-scale maize farmers in the Central Valleys of Oaxaca, Mexico, a centre of crop genetic diversity. A formal seed distribution system has yet to develop in the region and when seed loss occurs, farmers are faced with costs and difficulties identifying, locating, and obtaining seed of desired varieties. For these reasons, it was hypothesized that there were strong incentives for collective action among farmers to facilitate seed supply. The study found, however, no evidence of collective action with regards to seed supply in the three study communities-San Pablo Huitzo, San Lorenzo Albarradas, Santa Ana Zegache. Instead, farmers acquired seed using a variety of networks of social relations and different types of seed transactions. The results suggest that seed flow among farmers in the Central Valleys of Oaxaca is a complex process of negotiation and reciprocity, influenced by a variety of agroecological, socioeconomic, and cultural factors.

description: Nonrelativistic Fermi liquids in d+1 dimensions exhibit generalized Fermi surfaces: (d-p)-dimensional submanifolds in the momentum-frequency space supporting gapless excitations. We show that the universality classes of stable Fermi surfaces are classified by K-theory, with the pattern of stability determined by Bott periodicity. The Atiyah-Bott-Shapiro construction implies that the low-energy modes near a Fermi surface exhibit relativistic invariance in the transverse p+1 dimensions. This suggests an intriguing parallel between norelativistic Fermi liquids and D-branes of string theory.

Based on theoretical perspectives regarding motivation, identification, and learning, we present a new typology consisting of four types of students with distinctly different ways of creating motivation and identity in a PBL environment. While some principles in the examined PBL model motivate and validate certain types of students, the same principles can also challenge identification or result in demotivation among other types of students. Both results are important to consider when developing an inclusive PBL environment. The typology can serve as a theoretical framework for understanding, analysing, and discussing how and why students experience contemporary or new learning environments differently. Additionally, the typology provides a tool for organizations and teachers to motivate and validate students with different type characteristics and improve PBL practices accordingly.

description: Drawing on a series of technology adoption studies carried out by the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) in collaboration with national agricultural research systems in Eastern Africa during 1996-98, this paper suggests alternative approaches for designing technology adoption studies to obtain as much useful information as possible. It describes the Eastern African studies and summarizes specific lessons learned, asks what can be learned from farm-level studies in a few communities, explores generic limitations of micro studies and a range of problems and issues faced in carrying out such studies, addresses challenges that arise in trying to put together a set of compatible micro studies, and lists overall conclusions and specific recommendations.

description: Problem-based learning (PBL) is an instructional method that can show erosions and failures throughout its implementation. Faculty development programs reinforcing PBL principles are essential to keep tutorial groups functioning properly. Quasi-experimental study carried out in a medical school, with a PBL curriculum. The institution has launched a faculty development program to improve tutorial performance. The program was based on the dissemination of educational material addressing five perceived erosions in tutorial groups previously identified by the tutors. Students and tutors answered a questionnaire measuring their perception on tutors’ performance, before and after faculty development. The overall mean scores of tutors’ performance has significantly increased among students when comparing pre- and post-program scores (0.19 + 0.06; p < 0.001). The study has shown that, based on students’ perspective, a faculty development program focusing on the remediation of erosions identified by the tutors can help improve tutors’ performance in different domains.

description: Imaging flow cytometry (IFC) is a powerful tool which combines flow cytometry with digital microscopy to generate quantitative high-throughput imaging data. Despite various advantages of IFC over standard flow cytometry, widespread adoption of this technology for studies in aquatic sciences is limited, probably due to the relatively high equipment cost, complexity of image analysis-based data interpretation and lack of core facilities with trained personnel. Here, we describe the application of IFC to examine phagocytosis of particles including microplastics by cells from aquatic animals. For this purpose, we studied (1) live/dead cell assays and identification of cell types, (2) phagocytosis of degradable and non-degradable particles by Atlantic salmon head kidney cells and (3) the effect of incubation temperature on phagocytosis of degradable particles in three aquatic animals–Atlantic salmon, Nile tilapia, and blue mussel. The usefulness of the developed method was assessed by evaluating the effect of incubation temperature on phagocytosis. Our studies demonstrate that IFC provides significant benefits over standard flow cytometry in phagocytosis measurement by allowing integration of morphometric parameters, especially while identifying cell populations and distinguishing between different types of fluorescent particles and detecting their localization.

description: This case study presents our findings regarding a Project-Based Learning Course, where we applied neuroscience concepts to make the learning experience more effective. The course, which followed a combination of project-based learning and flipped classroom approaches, was delivered during the first semester of 2020, to 20 graduate students of the Faculty of Education of the University of Sao Paulo, Brazil. We explain the course design, curriculum, and online components. We collected data from course questionnaires and analyzed them qualitatively. We found that the course fostered long-lasting learning, by allowing the students to connect theory and practice, by providing knowledge-sharing opportunities and by promoting the retrieval of the content learned. We also found that course design allowed continuous improvement of course, learning environment and activities, that also enhanced the learning experience. Our findings also suggested that the usage of flipped-classroom concepts improves the efficacy of the online meetings. Finally, comic strips' usage brought humor to class, helped the students fix content, and contributed to reducing the stress that the students were facing.

description: These notes are based on five lectures presented at the 2004 Theoretical Advanced Study Institute (TASI) on ``Physics in D>=4''. After a brief motivation of flavor physics, they provide a pedagogical introduction to effective field theory, the effective weak Lagrangian, and the technology of renormalization-group improved perturbation theory. These general methods are then applied in the context of heavy-quarks physics, introducing the concepts of heavy-quark and soft-collinear effective theory.

description: We experimentally characterize the transverse vortex motion and observed some striking features. We found large structures and peaks in the Hall resistance, which can be attributed to the long-range inhomogeneous vortex flow present in some phases of vortex dynamics. We further demonstrate the existence of a moving vortex phase between the pinned phase (peak effect) and the field induced normal state. The measurements were performed on NiZr2 based superconducting glasses.

The Tchebyshev transforms of the first and second kind

description: We give an in-depth study of the Tchebyshev transforms of the first and second kind of a poset, recently discovered by Hetyei. The Tchebyshev transform (of the first kind) preserves desirable combinatorial properties, including Eulerianess (due to Hetyei) and EL-shellability. It is also a linear transformation on flag vectors. When restricted to Eulerian posets, it corresponds to the Billera, Ehrenborg and Readdy omega map of oriented matroids. One consequence is that nonnegativity of the cd-index is maintained. The Tchebyshev transform of the second kind is a Hopf algebra endomorphism on the space of quasisymmetric functions QSym. It coincides with Stembridge's peak enumerator for Eulerian posets, but differs for general posets. The complete spectrum is determined, generalizing work of Billera, Hsiao and van Willigenburg. The type B quasisymmetric function of a poset is introduced. Like Ehrenborg's classical quasisymmetric function of a poset, this map is a comodule morphism with respect to the quasisymmetric functions QSym. Similarities among the omega map, Ehrenborg's r-signed Birkhoff transform, and the Tchebyshev transforms motivate a general study of chain maps. One such occurrence, the chain map of the second kind, is a Hopf algebra endomorphism on the quasisymmetric functions QSym and is an instance of Aguiar, Bergeron and Sottile's result on the terminal object in the category of combinatorial Hopf algebras. In contrast, the chain map of the first kind is both an algebra map and a comodule endomorphism on the type B quasisymmetric functions BQSym.

description: The paper contributes by demonstrating the sensitivity of nonparametric programming productivity measures to the choice of model –time series versus panel models of Malmquist productivity, and to various levels of commodity aggregation compared to the traditional Tornqvist-Theil index approach employing U.S. state-level data from 1960-96. To illustrate the sensitive of nonparametric programming productivity measures, we compare the implicit shadow shares recovered from the dual values of the Malmquist productivity and total factor productivity methods to the observed shares of the Tornqvist-Theil index for U.S level data from 1948-1994.

Enculturation of Psychologists through Problem-Based Learning in Aalborg University’s Children’s Clinic
Creators: name: Jensen De López, Kristine M.

Publisher: name: Journal of Problem Based Learning in Higher Education
Year: 2021

description: Problem-based learning (PBL) involves using problems as a starting point of learning rather than relying on traditional learning settings. In the present paper we present the theoretical framework behind a specific PBL setting we have developed since 2012 for training Danish psychologist students in a small university children’s clinic (Børnesprogklinikken) at Aalborg University, Denmark. We argue that our approach can serve as students’ enculturation into a specific profession, and that concepts from the theory of cultural learning and the concept of mediation can elucidate why this type of learning is effective for human beings, and specifically for students learning a profession. Finally, we discuss some of the learning outcomes of the PBL programme.
