description: A long history of producing mostly for the domestic market led to institutions and "ways of thinking" that left Canadian producers ill prepared for major exposure to the severe demands of the international market place. The industry expansion that started in earnest in the mid-1980s led by enthusiastic producers and supportive government policies developed into a situation where suppliers became vulnerable to the closure of export markets. Efforts by governments to negotiate international trade accords to prevent indiscriminate border closures ultimately proved fruitless in the face of the BSE discovery in Canada. Moreover, governments, primary producers and packers in Canada appeared to have learned little from the British experience of long term closures to export markets and were not well prepared for the eventuality of discovering BSE in Canada. For the long term success of the Canadian beef sector, it is important to continue to seek international agreement on appropriate protocols that not only limits consumer exposure to animal diseases and pests but also takes account of the real risk to human health as based on scientific knowledge and evidence. At the same time, Canadian beef producers need to be cognizant of their vulnerability to export markets and so adopt production practices and supply chains that are in line with changing consumer wants in export markets.

description: We study determination of the parity of the pentaquark baryons in two different processes. First, we investigate the Theta^+ production via the vec{p} vec{p} -> Sigma^+ Theta^+ reaction process which was proposed to determine unambiguously the parity of Theta^+. We observe the clear differences in the total cross sections and the spin observable A_{xx}. As for the Xi_5 in the bar{K} N -> K Xi_5 reaction process, the total cross section for the positive parity presents about one hundred times lager than that of the negative one due to the huge destructive interference.

71. More halo streams from Gaia
Creators: name: Perryman, Michael
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2022

description: Ancient signatures of tidal infall, responsible for our Galaxy's stellar halo, remain evident because orbital time-scales in the outer parts of the Milky Way extend to billions of years. As a result, the halo retains kinematic evidence of the surviving remnants of accretion. A number of these are being found and characterised by Gaia.

description: A sufficiently large perpendicular magnetic field quenches the kinetic (Fermi) energy of an interacting two-dimensional (2D) system of fermions, making them susceptible to the formation of a Wigner solid (WS) phase in which the charged carriers organize themselves in a periodic array in order to minimize their Coulomb repulsion energy. In low-disorder 2D electron systems confined to modulation-doped GaAs heterostructures, signatures of a magnetic-field-induced WS appear at low temperatures and very small Landau level filling factors ($ν\simeq1/5$). In dilute GaAs 2D \textit{hole} systems, on the other hand, thanks to the larger hole effective mass and the ensuing Landau level mixing, the WS forms at relatively higher fillings ($ν\simeq1/3$). Here we report our measurements of the fundamental temperature vs. filling phase diagram for the 2D holes' WS-liquid \textit{thermal melting}. Moreover, via changing the 2D hole density, we also probe their Landau level mixing vs. filling WS-liquid \textit{quantum melting} phase diagram. We find our data to be in good agreement with the results of very recent calculations, although intriguing subtleties remain.

description: European Union (EU) agri-environmental programmes (AEPs) represent a significant step in the region's efforts to decouple agricultural output from production and export subsidies. While AEPs comprise only a small share of EU agricultural support, they have two possible external impacts: 1) the composition of the EU's imports and exports may change as their producers become more market responsive; and 2) the WTO's Green Box (subsides considered minimally trade distorting and hence not disciplined) may become increasingly contentious. Our concern is with the drivers of AEPs in the EU and their implications for Canada.

description: We present predictions and projections for hadron-in-jet measurements and electron-jet azimuthal correlations at the future Electron-Ion Collider (EIC). These observables directly probe the three-dimensional (3D) structure of hadrons, in particular, the quark transversity and Sivers parton distributions and the Collins fragmentation functions. We explore the feasibility of these experimental measurements by detector simulations and discuss detector requirements. We conclude that jet observables have the potential to enhance the 3D imaging EIC program.

description: We use Quantum Monte Carlo simulations and exact diagonalization to explore the phase diagram of the Bose-Hubbard model with an additional superlattice potential. We first analyze the properties of superfluid and insulating phases present in the hard-core limit where an exact analytic treatment is possible via the Jordan-Wigner transformation. The extension to finite on-site interaction is achieved by means of quantum Monte Carlo simulations. We determine insulator/superfluid phase diagrams as functions of the on-site repulsive interaction, superlattice potential strength, and filling, finding that insulators with fractional occupation numbers, which are present in the hard-core case, extend deep into the soft-core region. Furthermore, at integer fillings, we find that the competition between the on-site repulsion and the superlattice potential can produce a phase transition between a Mott insulator and a charge density wave insulator, with an intermediate superfluid phase. Our results are relevant to the behavior of ultracold atoms in optical superlattices which are beginning to be studied experimentally.

description: This note outlines conditions under which we can identify a vertical supply model of multiple retailers' and manufacturers' oligopoly-pricing behavior. This is an important question particularly when the researcher believes, contrary to the traditional assumption followed in the empirical literature, that retailers may not be neutral pass-through intermediaries. We show that a data-set of an industry's product prices, quantities, and input prices over time is sufficient to identify the vertical model of retailers' and manufacturers' oligopoly-pricing behavior given nonlinear demand, for homogeneous-products industries, and given multi-product firms, for differentiated-products industries.

description: Theil's theory of rational random errors is sufficient for strict exogeneity of group expenditure in separable demand models. Generalized rational random errors is necessary and sufficient for strict exogeneity of group expenditure. A simple, robust, asymptotically normal t-test of this hypothesis is derived based on the generalized method of moments. An application to per capita annual U.S. food demand in the 20th century strongly rejects exogeneity of food expenditure in a model that in all other respects is highly compatible with the data set and with the implications of economic theory.

Matching Cluster (MC) Metric also accounts for incongruency between closely related branches of rooted trees and a value of 0 also indicates complete congruence between compared trees. Pink asterisks are utilized to denote phylosymbiotic relationships between the widow phylogeny and microbial dendrogram.

Our estimated prices are high, relative to previous estimates, and the efficiency gains are substantial. We also find, contrary to previous literature, that higher income is associated with reduced emissions.

description: We apply the thermodynamical model of the cosmological event horizon of the spatially flat FLRW metrics to the study of the recent accelerated expansion phase and to the coincidence problem. This model, called "ehT model" hereafter, led to a dark energy (DE) density $Λ$ varying as $r^{-2},$ where $r$ is the proper radius of the event horizon. Recently, another model motivated by the holographic principle gave an independent justification of the same relation between $Λ$ and $r$. We probe the theoretical results of the ehT model with respect to the SnIa observations and we compare it to the model deduced from the holographic principle, which we call "LHG model" in the following.Our results are in excellent agreement with the observations for $H\_{0}=64kms^{-1}Mpc^{-1}$, and $Ω\_{Λ}^{0}=0.63\_{-0.01}^{+0.1}$, which leads to $q\_{0}=-0.445$ and $z\_{T}\simeq 0.965$.

description: While access to land is back high on the policy agenda as an instrument to attack poverty, strong reservations have been expressed as to whether this strategy can indeed be effective. To help shed light on this important debate, this paper establishes the conditions under which access to land can help reduce poverty in rural communities where poverty is extensive. We use for this purpose household data gathered in 1997 by the Mexican Program for Education, Health, and Nutrition. Results show that access to even a small plot of land can raise household welfare significantly: Using non-parametric regression methods to estimate the relationship between land and welfare, we find that, for small landholders, an additional hectare of land increases welfare on average by 1.3 times the earnings of an agricultural worker. In addition, the marginal welfare value of land depends importantly on a household's control over complementary assets and on the context where assets are used: For non-indigenous small farmers with at least primary education and access to a road, the welfare benefit of additional land is on average seven times higher than for those without these attributes.

description: The macroscopic quantum tunneling (MQT) in the current biased high-Tc superconductor Josephson junctions and the effect of the zero energy bound states (ZES) on the MQT are theoretically investigated. We obtained the analytical formula of the MQT rate and showed that the presence of the ZES at the normal/superconductor interface leads to a strong Ohmic quasiparticle dissipation. Therefore, the MQT rate is noticeably inhibited in compared with the c-axis junctions in which the ZES are completely absent.

Using Holographically Compressed Embeddings in Question Answering

Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Computation and Language (cs.CL)

description: Word vector representations are central to deep learning natural language processing models. Many forms of these vectors, known as embeddings, exist, including word2vec and GloVe. Embeddings are trained on large corpora and learn the word's usage in context, capturing the semantic relationship between words. However, the semantics from such training are at the level of distinct words (known as word types), and can be ambiguous when, for example, a word type can be either a noun or a verb. In question answering, parts-of-speech and named entity types are important, but encoding these attributes in neural models expands the size of the input. This research employs holographic compression of pre-trained embeddings, to represent a token, its part-of-speech, and named entity type, in the same dimension as representing only the token. The implementation, in a modified question answering recurrent deep learning network, shows that semantic relationships are preserved, and yields strong performance.

Explicit solutions of the (rational and trigonometric) higher Hamiltonian flows of the integrable hierarchy can be readily obtained in a similar way for those based on the classical root systems.

Bell Locality and the Nonlocal Character of Nature

description: It is demonstrated that hidden variables of a certain type follow logically from a certain local causality requirement (``Bell Locality'') and the empirically well-supported predictions of quantum theory for the standard EPR-Bell setup. The demonstrated hidden variables are precisely those needed for the derivation of the Bell Inequalities. We thus refute the widespread view that empirical violations of Bell Inequalities leave open a choice of whether to reject (i) locality or (ii) hidden variables. Both principles are indeed assumed in the derivation of the inequalities, but since, as we demonstrate here, (ii) actually follows from (i), there is no choice but to blame the violation of Bell's Inequality on (i). Our main conclusion is thus that no Bell Local theory can be consistent with what is known from experiment about the correlations exhibited by separated particles. Aside from our conclusion being based on a different sense of locality this conclusion resembles one that has been advocated recently by H.P. Stapp. We therefore also carefully contrast the argument presented here to that proposed by Stapp.

description: A theory in which 4-dimensional spacetime is generalized to a larger space, namely a 16-dimensional Clifford space (C-space) is investigated. Curved Clifford space can provide a realization of Kaluza-Klein theory. A covariant Dirac equation in curved C-space is explored. The generalized Dirac field is assumed to be a polyvector-valued object (a Clifford number) which can be written as a superposition of four independent spinors, each spanning a different left ideal of Clifford algebra. The general transformations of a polyvector can act from the left and/or from the right, and form a large gauge group which may contain the group U(1)xSU(2)xSU(3) of the standard model. The generalized spin connection in C-space has the properties of Yang-Mills gauge fields. It contains the ordinary spin connection related to gravity (with torsion), and extra parts describing additional interactions, including those described by the antisymmetric Kalb-Ramond fields.

description: Kv1.3, a voltage-gated potassium channel, is upregulated in autoimmune and neuroinflammatory diseases, making it an attractive drug target. Peptide toxins from scorpion and sea anemone venoms are potent blockers of ion channels like Kv1.1 and Kv1.3, but their blocking mechanisms are not well characterised. This thesis utilises solution NMR spectroscopy and Molecular Dynamics simulations to investigate the inhibition of Kv1.3 by peptide toxins. We developed a strategy for structural investigation of Kv1.3 that can be applied to studying other peptide toxins with potential potassium channel inhibitory activity, enhancing our understanding and aiding targeted therapeutic development.

description: We examine the outer Galactic HI disk for deviations from the b=0 plane by constructing maps of disk surface density, mean height, and thickness. We find that the Galactic warp is well described by a vertical offset plus two Fourier modes of frequency 1 and 2, all of which grow with Galactocentric radius. Adding the m=2 mode accounts for the large asymmetry between the northern and southern warps. We use a Morlet wavelet transform to investigate the spatial and frequency localization of higher frequency modes; these modes are often referred to as "scalloping." We find that the m=10 and 15 scalloping modes are well above the noise, but localized; this suggests that the scalloping does not pervade the whole disk, but only local regions.

description: The spatial structure of fluctuations in spatially inhomogeneous processes can be modeled in terms of Gibbs random fields. A local low energy estimator (LLEE) is proposed for the interpolation (prediction) of such processes at points where observations are not available. The LLEE approximates the spatial dependence of the data and the unknown values at the estimation points by low-lying excitations of a suitable energy functional. It is shown that the LLEE is a linear, unbiased, non-exact estimator. In addition, an expression for the uncertainty (standard deviation) of the estimate is derived.

Prussian Mennonites in the Third Reich and beyond : the uneasy synthesis of national and religious myths
Creators: name: Schroeder, Steven Mark
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The Mennonite people find their roots in the Swiss Anabaptist movement of the early sixteenth century. Both Catholic and Protestant persecution effectively dispersed the nonconformist, nonresistant Anabaptists throughout Europe in the first decades of the Reformation. A large group settled in the Netherlands, and came to be known as "Mennonites" after their leader, Menno Simons. By the mid-sixteenth century, many Mennonites had emigrated to Prussia, where they were promised military exemption and religious toleration. This study examines how the longstanding Mennonite tenets of faith, buttressed by specific cultural traditions, were slowly eroded in Prussia through the incorporation of nationalist ideals. The shifts were fueled by the Mennonites' desire to secure their place in the German nation-state and to partake in the advantages of cultural, religious and national assimilation. Over time, the Prussian Mennonites relinquished their time-honored beliefs in being "in but not of the world," in nonresistance, and in not swearing an oath to "anything under heaven or on earth." These changes became absolutely crucial to the maintenance of the Mennonite community in Prussia under Nazism, when all able-bodied Mennonite men willingly served in the German armed forces. The Prussian Mennonites succeeded in maintaining their community under National Socialism until the advancing Russian army destroyed it in 1944. The cost, however, was enormous. Just as all Germans face the continual struggle of rebuilding their nation and reforming their national identity, so too are the Mennonites faced with the ongoing challenges of rebuilding their community - physically, emotionally and spiritually. Those positively engaged in this process find themselves inextricably affected and constantly burdened by personal and popular memory, grappling, often unawares, with the politics of their representation. The conclusion to this study examines these responses of dissonance vis-a-vis the lingering questions that face the German Mennonites as they continue to deal with their own unique form of VergangenheitsbewGltigung (coming to terms with the past) within the broader German context.

description: Empirical evidence has shown that off-farm non-agricultural (OFNA) employment offers a major pathway from poverty for rural populations. However, the pattern of participation in these activities is heterogeneous across categories of individuals and poorly understood. We explore the role of spillovers from peers on an individual's participation in formal and informal OFNA employment using village census data for rural Mexico. We test and reject the possibility that peers' decisions could be proxying for unobserved individual, village-level, or individual-type effects. We find that peers' participation in OFNA employment has a large impact on an individual's ability to engage in this type of employment, both formal and informal, even after controlling for individual attributes and village characteristics. Peer effects are structured by similarities in gender, ethnicity, educational level, and land endowment. We find that marginal peer effects tend to be stronger for categories of individuals that are already more engaged in OFNA employment, such as men, non-indigenous people, the more educated, and the landless, contributing to reinforcing inequalities in accessing these jobs. However, the role of peer effects relative to that of education in obtaining formal OFNA employment is more important for members of groups that are less engaged in these jobs, such as women, indigenous people, the less educated, and smallholders.

description: We propose a data-driven technique to estimate the spin Hamiltonian, including uncertainty, from multiple physical quantities. Using our technique, an effective model of KCu$_4$P$_3$O$_{12}$ is determined from the experimentally observed magnetic susceptibility and magnetization curves with various temperatures under high magnetic fields. An effective model, which is the quantum Heisenberg model on a zigzag chain with eight spins having $J_1= -8.54 \pm 0.51 \{\rm meV}$, $J_2 = -2.67 \pm 1.13 \{\rm meV}$, $J_3 = -3.90 \pm 0.15 \{\rm meV}$, and $J_4 = 6.24 \pm 0.95 \{\rm meV}$, describes these measured results well. These uncertainties are successfully determined by the noise estimation. The relations among the estimated magnetic interactions or physical quantities are also discussed. The obtained effective model is useful to predict hard-to-measure properties such as spin gap, spin configuration at the ground state, magnetic specific heat, and magnetic entropy.

description: We use a nonlinear, nonparametric method to forecast the unemployment rates. We compare these forecasts to several linear and nonlinear parametric methods based on the work of Montgomery et al. (1998) and Carruth et al. (1998). Our main result is that, due to the nonlinearity in the data generating process, the nonparametric method outperforms many other wellknown models, even when these models use more information. This result holds for forecasts based on quarterly and on monthly data.

description: This paper describes a Bayesian statistical method for determining the genetic basis of a complex genetic trait. The method uses a sample of unrelated individuals classified into two groups, for example cases and controls. Each group is assumed to have been genotyped at a battery of marker loci using a laboratory effort efficient technique called DNA pooling. The aim is to detect and map a quantitative trait locus (QTL) that is not one of the typed markers. The method works by conducting an exact Bayesian analysis under a number of simplifying population genetic assumptions that are somewhat unrealistic. Despite this, the method is shown to perform acceptably on datasets simulated under a more realistic model, and furthermore is shown to outperform classical single point methods.

description: Hot carrier spatial and momentum distributions in nanoplasmonic systems depend sensitively on the optical excitation parameters and nanoscale geometry, which therefore determine the efficiency and functionality of plasmon-enhanced catalysts, photovoltaics, and nanocathodes. A growing appreciation over the past decade for the distinction between volume- and surface-mediated photoexcitation and electron emission from such systems has underscored the need for direct mechanistic insight and quantification of these two processes. Toward this end, we use angle-resolved photoelectron velocity mapping to directly distinguish volume and surface contributions to nanoplasmonic hot electron emission from gold nanorods as a function of aspect ratio, down to the spherical limit. Nanorods excited along their longitudinal surface plasmon axis exhibit surprising transverse photoemission distributions due to the dominant volume excitation mechanisms, as reproduced via ballistic Monte Carlo modelling. We further demonstrate a screening-induced transition from volume (transverse) to surface (longitudinal) photoemission with red detuning of the excitation laser and determine the relative cross-sections of the two mechanisms via combined volume and surface multiphoton photoemission modelling. Based on these results, we are able to identify geometry- and material-specific contributions to the photoemission cross-sections and offer general principles for designing nanoplasmonic systems to control hot electron excitation and emission distributions.

description: Adiabatic elimination methods allow the reduction of the space dimension needed to describe systems dynamics which exhibits separation of time scale. For open quantum system, it consists in eliminating the fast part assuming it has almost instantaneously reached its steady-state and obtaining an approximation of the evolution of the slow part. These methods can be applied to eliminate a linear subspace within the system Hilbert space, or alternatively to eliminate a fast subsystems in a bipartite quantum system. In this work, we extend an adiabatic elimination method used for removing fast degrees of freedom within a open quantum system (Phys. Rev. A 2020, 101,042102) to eliminate a subsystem from an open bipartite quantum system. As an illustration, we apply our technique to a dispersively coupled two-qubit system and in the case of the open Rabi model.

Quantum and Fisher Information from the Husimi and Related Distributions

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

description: The two principal/immediate influences -- which we seek to interrelate here -- upon the undertaking of this study are papers of Zyczkowski and Slomczyński (J. Phys. A 34, 6689 [2001]) and of Petz and Sudar (J. Math. Phys. 37, 2262 [1996]). In the former work, a metric (the Monge one, specifically) over generalized Husimi distributions was employed to define a distance between two arbitrary density matrices. In the Petz-Sudar work (completing a program of Chentsov), the quantum analogue of the (classically unique) Fisher information (montone) metric of a probability simplex was extended to define an uncountable infinitude of Riemannian (also monotone) metrics on the set of positive definite density matrices. We pose here the questions of what is the specific/unique Fisher information metric for the (classically-defined) Husimi distributions and how does it relate to the infinitude of (quantum) metrics over the density matrices of Petz and Sudar? We find a highly proximate (small relative entropy) relationship between the probability distribution (the quantum Jeffreys' prior) that yields quantum universal data compression, and that which (following Clarke and Barron) gives its classical counterpart. We also investigate the Fisher information metrics corresponding to the escort Husimi, positive-P and certain Gaussian probability distributions, as well as, in some sense, the discrete Wigner pseudoprobability. The comparative noninformativity of prior probability distributions -- recently studied by Srednicki (Phys. Rev. A 71, 052107 [2005]) -- formed by normalizing the volume elements of the various information metrics, is also discussed in our context.

description: Kirigami, the Japanese art of paper cutting, has recently enabled the design of stretchable mechanical metamaterials that can be easily realized by embedding arrays of periodic cuts into an elastic sheet. Here, we exploit kirigami principles to design inflatables that can mimic target shapes upon pressurization. Our system comprises a kirigami sheet embedded into an unstructured elastomeric membrane. First, we show that the inflated shape can be controlled by tuning the geometric parameters of the kirigami pattern. Then, by applying a simple optimization algorithm, we identify the best parameters that enable the kirigami inflatables to transform into a family of target shapes at a given pressure. Furthermore, thanks to the tessellated nature of the kirigami, we show that we can selectively manipulate the parameters of the single units to allow the reproduction of features at different scales and ultimately enable a more accurate mimicking of the target.
