description: We use moderate-resolution optical spectrophotometry and the new MARCS stellar atmosphere models to determine the effective temperatures of 74 Galactic red supergiants. From these we find a new effective temperature scale that is significantly warmer than those in the literature. We show that this temperature scale, along with the newly derived bolometric corrections, gives much better agreement between our red supergiants and stellar evolutionary tracks. This agreement provides an independent verification of our new temperature scale. The combination of effective temperature and bolometric luminosities allows us to calculate stellar radii; the coolest and most luminous stars have radii of roughly 1500 solar radii (7 AU), in excellent accordance with the largest stellar radii predicted from current evolutionary theory. We find that similar results are obtained for the effective temperatures and bolometric luminosities using only the de-reddened V-K colors, providing a powerful demonstration of the self-consistency of the MARCS models.

description: George William Haynes was a grocer's roundsman (at what is now Faringdon Furnishings). In 1916, the family's horse was requisitioned - Fanny, the contributor's grandmother who died in 1958, said "so they'll probably take me next!" George was the head of a family of 7 (George, Fanny, and 5 children). The contributor believes that George volunteered to join the Army. He initially served with the Royal Berkshire Regiment before being transferred to the 'Ox and Bucks' Light Infantry. He was killed in August 1917 and his body was never found. He is commemorated on a time clock memorial (he was a bell ringer at All Saints). George's brother had been killed two years earlier in 1915. Little is known about George's other brother, Oliver Mark Haynes.

description: By a polaronic energy shift, the effective charging energy of molecules can become negative, favoring ground states with even numbers of electrons. Here, we show that charge transport through such molecules near ground-state degeneracies is dominated by tunneling of electron pairs which coexists with (featureless) single-electron cotunneling. Due to the restricted phase space for pair tunneling, the current-voltage characteristics exhibits striking differences from the conventional Coulomb blockade. In asymmetric junctions, pair tunneling can be used for gate-controlled current rectification and switching.

description: Lattice Monte Carlo calculations of interacting systems on non-bipartite lattices exhibit an oscillatory imaginary phase known as the phase or sign problem, even at zero chemical potential. One method to alleviate the sign problem is to analytically continue the integration region of the state variables into the complex plane via holomorphic flow equations. For asymptotically large flow times the state variables approach manifolds of constant imaginary phase known as Lefschetz thimbles. However, flowing such variables and calculating the ensuing Jacobian is a computationally demanding procedure. In this paper we demonstrate that neural networks can be trained to parameterize suitable manifolds for this class of sign problem and drastically reduce the computational cost. We apply our method to the Hubbard model on the triangle and tetrahedron, both of which are non-bipartite. At strong interaction strengths and modest temperatures the tetrahedron suffers from a severe sign problem that cannot be overcome with standard reweighting techniques, while it quickly yields to our method. We benchmark our results with exact calculations and comment on future directions of this work.

Productivity Analysis

description: Technical efficiency for cotton growers is examined using both stochastic (SFA) and nonstochastic (DEA) production function approaches. The empirical application uses farm-level data from four counties in west Texas. While efficiency scores for the individual farms differed between SFA and DEA, the mean efficiency scores are invariant of the method of estimation under the assumption of constant returns to scale. On average, irrigated farms are 80% and nonirrigated farms are 70% efficient. Findings show that in Texas, the irrigated farms, on average, could reduce their expenditures on other inputs by 10%, and the nonirrigated farms could reduce their expenditures on machinery and labor by 12% and 13%, respectively, while producing the same level of output.

description: We investigate the dynamics of a Bose--Einstein condensate (BEC) in a triple-well trap in a three-level approximation. The inter-atomic interactions are taken into account in a mean-field approximation (Gross-Pitaevskii equation), leading to a nonlinear three-level model. New eigenstates emerge due to the nonlinearity, depending on the system parameters. Adiabaticity breaks down if such a nonlinear eigenstate disappears when the parameters are varied. The dynamical implications of this loss of adiabaticity are analyzed for two important special cases: A three level Landau-Zener model and the STIRAP scheme. We discuss the emergence of looped levels for an equal-slope Landau-Zener model. The Zener tunneling probability does not tend to zero in the adiabatic limit and shows pronounced oscillations as a function of the velocity of the parameter variation. Furthermore we generalize the STIRAP scheme for adiabatic coherent population transfer between atomic states to the nonlinear case. It is shown that STIRAP breaks down if the nonlinearity exceeds the detuning.

description: This article is dedicated to the Earth Remote Sensing (ERS), which the authors believe is a great way to teach geography and allows forming an idea of the actual geographic features and phenomena. One of the major problems that now constrains the active introduction of remote sensing data in the educational process is the low availability of training aerospace pictures, which meet didactic requirements. The article analyzes the main sources of ERS as a basis for educational resources formation with aerospace images: paper, various individual sources (personal stations receiving satellite information, drones, balloons, kites and balls) and Internet sources (mainstream sites, sites of scientific-technical organizations and distributors, interactive Internet geoservices, cloud platforms of geospatial analysis). The authors point out that their geospatial analysis platforms (Google Earth Engine, Land Viewer, EOS Platform, etc.), due to their unique features, are the basis for the creation of information thematic databases of ERS. The article presents an example of such a database, covering more than 800 aerospace images and dynamic models, which are combined according to such didactic principles as high information load and clarity.

description: Random walks of particles on a lattice are a classical paradigm for the microscopic mechanism underlying diffusive processes. In deterministic walks, the role of space and time can be reversed, and the microscopic dynamics can produce quite different types of behavior such as directed propagation and organization, which appears to be generic behaviors encountered in an important class of systems. The various aspects of classical and not so classical walks on latices are reviewed with emphasis on the physical phenomena that can be treated through a lattice dynamics approach.

description: The presence of allocatable fixed inputs may cause truly joint technologies to appear nonjoint in the short run as well as truly nonjoint technologies to appear joint. This paper demonstrates theoretically why this can happen and then documents that it actually occurs in a significant way in aggregate U.S. agricultural production. A simple testing procedure is used that requires no data on inputs allocations. The important finding is that failure to reject true (apparent) nonjointness does not justify modeling short-run (long-run) supply independent of alternative output prices.
Using Deep Learning to Predict Beam-Tunable Pareto Optimal Dose Distribution for Intensity Modulated Radiation Therapy

description: We propose to develop deep learning models that can predict Pareto optimal dose distributions by using any given set of beam angles, along with patient anatomy, as input to train the deep neural networks. We implement and compare two deep learning networks that predict with two different beam configuration modalities. We generated Pareto optimal plans for 70 patients with prostate cancer. We used fluence map optimization to generate 500 IMRT plans that sampled the Pareto surface for each patient, for a total of 35,000 plans. We studied and compared two different models, Model I and Model II. Model I directly uses beam angles as a second input to the network as a binary vector. Model II converts the beam angles into beam doses that are conformal to the PTV. Our deep learning models predicted voxel-level dose distributions that precisely matched the ground truth dose distributions. Quantitatively, Model I prediction error of 0.043 (confirmation), 0.043 (homogeneity), 0.327 (R50), 2.80% (D95), 3.90% (D98), 0.6% (D50), 1.10% (D2) was lower than that of Model II, which obtained 0.076 (confirmation), 0.058 (homogeneity), 0.626 (R50), 7.10% (D95), 6.50% (D98), 8.40% (D50), 6.30% (D2). Treatment planners who use our models will be able to use deep learning to control the tradeoffs between the PTV and OAR weights, as well as the beam number and configurations in real time. Our dose prediction methods provide a stepping stone to building automatic IMRT treatment planning.

description: Thin elastic sheets and membranes are known to wrinkle when they are stretched -- the associated physics is highly non-linear. The mechanics of thin films that exhibit unusual behavior upon stretching, when they possess auxetic structure, i.e. when their apparent Poisson's ratio is negative, is presented here. Wrinkling is now suppressed within the bulk of auxetic films when tensioned, whereas localized creases confined to the clamps, that decay away exponentially, appear. These edge wrinkles are characterized for their amplitude and wavelength experimentally, theoretically, and computationally, which show excellent agreement with expected trends. The scaling for amplitude, wavelength and decay rate upon film properties and tension is obtained using simple analyses based on kinematic mismatch resulting from lateral Poisson's expansion.
The early life history and ecology of Columbia Lake burbot
Creators: name: Taylor, Joshua L.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis examines aspects of the early life history and ecology of the Columbia Lake burbot population in southeast British Columbia. Growth was examined using otoliths from burbot sampled in shoreline habitats, a recreational ice fishery, and the spawning population. Columbia Lake burbot begin to recruit to the fishery, and no longer inhabit shoreline habitats, by age 2 or 3 (39 cm in length). The mean density of age 0 burbot per km of shoreline on 12 sites sampled from 1997 to 1999 ranged from 400 in 1997 to 62 in 1999. This suggests that recruitment is not seriously depressed and, thus, the decline in the burbot population may be best explained by changes in environment that affect post settlement life stages. Recruitment, as estimated by shoreline surveys of juvenile abundance and the age distribution of adults in the fishery and spawning population, varied greatly among cohorts. This variation is not well explained by spawner numbers and, presumably, is partly driven by environmental fluctuations. Reduced lifespan, as occurs with decreasing latitude and increasing fishing pressure, should reduce the survival of adults over periods when conditions are unfavorable for recruitment and, thus, reduce population stability. Egg development and early larval life were investigated under laboratory conditions. Egg survival peaked about 3°C and all embryos died at temperatures above 6°C. This narrow temperature tolerance during incubation may cause density independent mortality, especially when egg incubation temperatures are variable and borderline for survival. The minimum time to hatch at 5, 4, and 3°C was 28, 32, and 38 days, respectively. Newly hatched larvae averaged 3.47 mm in length and were positively phototactic. The mouth and swimbladder form between 5 and 10 days after hatching. After 27 days (mean length 4.25 mm) all larvae were neutrally buoyant and feeding exogenously. Habitat use by juvenile burbot was modeled statistically. Juveniles use crevices, especially the interstitial spaces between substrate particles, as cover. Because much of the shoreline habitat suitable for juvenile burbot is above water from late fall to early spring, competition for cover may regulate recruitment in Columbia Lake.

description: Number of connected devices is steadily increasing and these devices continuously generate data streams. Real-time processing of data streams is arousing interest despite many challenges. Clustering is one of the most suitable methods for real-time data stream processing, because it can be applied with less prior information about the data and it does not need labeled instances. However, data stream clustering differs from traditional clustering in many aspects and it has several challenging issues. Here, we provide information regarding the concepts and common characteristics of data streams, such as concept drift, data structures for data streams, time window models and outlier detection. We comprehensively review recent data stream clustering algorithms and analyze them in terms of the base clustering technique, computational complexity and clustering accuracy. A comparison of these algorithms is given along with still open problems. We indicate popular data stream repositories and datasets, stream processing tools and platforms. Open problems about data stream clustering are also discussed.

description: By broadening the definition of an ecosystem to include economic activities, can we better characterize the interactions and relationships among agricultural activities and important indicators of ecological system health? This paper addresses research approaches for assessing the role of agriculture in an ecosystems context. Environmental regulation and resource management policies have heightened the interest in understanding interactions among agricultural activities and the natural resource base, including the impacts of agriculture on environmental quality and the impacts on agriculture of ecosystem restoration efforts. What are the most meaningful indicators of environmental quality? Which agricultural practices and policies should be considered, along with which nonagricultural resource uses? Finally, does the evolving thinking about ecosystems permit us to link agricultural practices and policies more directly and meaningfully to conceptions of sustainability, of both natural and socioeconomic systems? This paper presents a brief synopsis of ecosystem management, drawing from several recent governmental initiatives. It then provides an overview of the economics of ecosystem management from the perspective of the role of agriculture; discusses two specific cases, the Pacific Northwest and South Florida; and concludes with a discussion of promising economic approaches, data needs, and caveats to those engaged in policy analysis involving ecosystem restoration.

description: This study examines the effects of a wife's participation in the labor force and other socioeconomic factors on family expenditures for prepared food, food prepared at home, and food away from home using the Bureau of Labor Statistics 1992 consumer expenditure survey. On the one hand, results indicate that the number of children, home ownership with mortgage, seasonality, region, wife's age, and income are important determinants of expenditures on food prepared at home. A wife's education and participation in the labor force, on the other hand, affect expenditures on prepared food and food away from home. The impact of both these factors is greater on food away from home than on prepared food expenditures.

description: The United States and the European Union both employ export subsidies to stimulate wheat trade and to increase their competitiveness in world markets. The environmental consequences of these policies are being questioned. We simulate reducing or removing export subsidies for wheat from the United States and the EU using a multicountry partial equilibrium model, and we analyze the impact of export subsidy policy reform on nitrogen fertilizer and other chemical use. Our findings indicate that the U.S. EEP program cannot be blamed for environmental degradation in terms of nitrate leaching, while EU wheat subsides make only a small contribution to nitrate pollution.

description: In this paper a detailed simulation of irradiated pixel sensors was used to investigate the effects of radiation damage on the position determination and optimize the hit reconstruction algorithms. The simulation implements a model of radiation damage by including two defect levels with opposite charge states and trapping of charge carriers. The simulation shows that a position resolution below 15 $μ$m along the CMS $r-ϕ$ plane can be achieved after an irradiation fluence of $5.9\times10^{14}$ n$_{\rm{eq}}/$cm$^2$. In addition, we show that systematic errors in the position determination can be largely reduced by applying $η$ corrections.

description: Joseph Redford Rogers, the contributor's grandfather, served as a private in the First World War. Joseph provided assistance to an Officer when his car broke down, which led to him becoming the Officer's driver (and surviving the trenches). Joseph had a daughter (b. 1917) who died of measles while he was still serving. He met her only once when he was on leave. Joseph died in 1945 while serving his country spray painting helmets in a non-ventilated room which led to lung disease.

description: The presence of two spin-split valleys in monolayer (1L) transition metal dichalcogenide (TMD) semiconductors supports versatile exciton species classified by their spin and valley quantum numbers. While the spin-0 intravalley exciton, known as the "bright" exciton, is readily observable, other types of excitons, such as the spin-1 intravalley (spin-dark) and spin-0 intervalley (momentum-dark) excitons, are more difficult to access. Here we develop a waveguide coupled 1L tungsten diselenide (WSe2) device to probe these exciton species. In particular, TM coupling to the atomic layer's out-of-plane dipole moments enabled us to not only efficiently collect, but also resonantly populate the spin-1 dark excitons, promising for developing devices with long valley lifetimes. Our work reveals several upconversion processes that bring out an intricate coupling network linking spin-0 and spin-1 intra- and inter-valley excitons, demonstrating that intervalley scattering and spin-flip are very common processes in the atomic layer. These experimental results deepen our understanding of tungsten diselenide exciton physics and illustrate that planar photonic devices are capable of harnessing versatile exciton species in TMD semiconductors.
Nonperturbative renormalization of Phi-derivable approximations in theories with fermions

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We show how to renormalize Phi-derivable approximations in a theory with a fermionic field coupled to a self-interacting scalar field through a Yukawa interaction. The nonperturbative renormalization concerns the self-interaction coupling of the scalar field which is renormalized via a set of nested Bethe-Salpeter equations for the scalar and fermionic four-point functions. We use this information to construct explicit finite equations of motion in the symmetric phase. We work in the context of equilibrium quantum field theory and show that the renormalization can be carried out without introducing temperature dependent counterterms.

description: A combined telephone contact-mail booklet-telephone interview of California and New England households regarding their willingness to pay for fire management in California and Oregon's old-growth forests was performed to test hypotheses regarding the spatial extent of the public goods market. Using a multiple-bounded contingent valuation question, the study found that New England households' annual willingness to pay for the California and Oregon programs was statistically different from zero. This analysis points out that households receive benefits from fire protection of old-growth forests in states other than their own. In this case study, limiting the survey sample to state residents where the National Forest is located would reflect about 20% of the national benefits. However, using resident values as a proxy for nonresidents would overstate the national benefits by 75%, since the values per household are significantly different. This finding suggests more emphasis in future surveys on selecting an institutionally and economically relevant sample frame rather than an expedient one.

Richardson elements for classical Lie algebras

description: Parabolic subalgebras of semi-simple Lie algebras decompose as $\frak{p}=\frak{m}\oplus\frak{n}$ where $\frak{m}$ is a Levi factor and $\frak{n}$ the corresponding nilradical. By Richardsons theorem, there exists an open orbit under the action of the adjoint group $P$ on the nilradical. The elements of this dense orbits are known as Richardson elements. In this paper we describe a normal form for Richardson elements in the classical case. This generalizes a construction for the general linear group of Bruestle, Hille, Ringel and Roehrle to the other classical Lie algebra and it extends the authors normal forms of Richardson elements for nice parabolic subalgebras of simple Lie algebras to arbitrary parabolic subalgebras of the classical Lie algebras. As applications we obtain a description of the support of Richardson elements and we recover the Bala-Carter label of the orbit of Richardson elements.

description: We are proposing a new way of describing families of quarks and leptons, using the approach unifying all the internal degrees of freedom, proposed by one of us. Spinors, living in d(=1+13)-dimensional space, carry in this approach only the spin and interact with only the gravity through vielbeins and two kinds of the spin connection fields - the gauge fields of the Poincare group and the second kind of the Clifford algebra objects. All the quarks and the leptons of one family appear in one Weyl representation of a chosen handedness of the Lorentz group, if analyzed with respect to the Standard model gauge groups: the right handed (with respect to SO(1,3)) weak chargeless quarks and leptons and the left handed weak charged quark and leptons. A part of the starting Lagrange density of a Weyl spinor in d=1+13 transforms right handed quarks and leptons into left handed quarks and leptons manifesting as the Yukawa couplings of the Standard model. The second kind of Clifford algebra objects generates families and contributes to diagonal and off diagonal Yukawa couplings. The approach predicts an even number of families, treating leptons and quarks equivalently. In this paper we investigate within this approach the appearance of the Yukawa couplings within one family of quarks and leptons as well as among the families (without assuming any Higgs fields). We present the mass matrices for four families and investigate whether our way of generating families might explain the origin of families of quarks and leptons as well as their observed properties - the masses and the mixing matrices. Numerical results are presented in the paper following this one.

"I’m aging like everyone else-just in a wheelchair" : a case study of acceptance of spinal cord injury
Creators: name: Forseng, Melanie Tracy
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Due to decreased mortality and increased longevity, the population of those aging with a spinal cord injury (SCI) is increasing in Canada. Little is known about the experience of aging with a SCI. In order to increase our understanding of this experience, I designed a qualitative research study to explore it. Using a case study approach, I both interviewed and observed a 65 year old man who has lived with paraplegia for 28 years. For this man aging with a SCI involved acceptance and normalization. Acceptance occurred first and was the incorporation of his SCI into his life. Then normalization, or the reconstruction of the self, took place. This involved mmimizing the differences and redefining normal. As a result of acceptance and normalization, aging with a SCI became simply aging for this man.
People smuggling by a different name: Australia's ‘turnbacks’ of asylum seekers to Indonesia

description: The decline in the smuggling of people from Indonesia to Australia since late 2013 is primarily attributable to unilateral deterrence policies under Australia's Operation Sovereign Borders. When seeking to prevent asylum seekers from coming to Australia to enjoy the right to asylum there, the Australian government has tested a number of deterrent mechanisms that sometimes border on illegality and even state crime. In May 2015, for example, Australian authorities intercepted an Indonesian boat carrying 65 asylum seekers and allegedly paid the six smugglers to return their passengers to Indonesia. In this article, we reconstruct what happened at sea, and put forward a number of arguments that categorise this ‘turnback’ as explicitly-commissioned people smuggling against Indonesia. Our article also points to further implications about looming risks if the policy was to be employed more widely by states in other areas of the world where people cross the sea to seek asylum. Not only would the practice severely undermine international collaborations that have developed to prevent and combat people smuggling, but it would also create additional safety risks for those who are turned back.
