description: We generalize the link between fluctuation theorems and thermodynamic uncertainty relations by deriving a bound on the variance of fluxes that satisfy an isometric fluctuation theorem. The resulting bound, which depends on the system's dimension $d$, naturally interpolates between two known bounds. The bound derived from the entropy production fluctuation theorem is recovered for $d=1$, and the original entropy production thermodynamic uncertainty relation is obtained in the $d \to \infty$ limit. We show that our result can be generalized to order parameters in equilibrium systems, and we illustrate the results on a Heisenberg spin chain.

description: The spontaneous generation of the magnetic and chromomagnetic fields at high temperature is investigated in the Standard Model. The consistent effective potential including the one-loop and the daisy diagrams of all boson and fermion fields is calculated. The mixing of the generated fields due to the quark loop diagram is studied in detail. It is found that the quark contribution increases the magnetic and chromomagnetic field strengths as compared with the separate generation of fields. The magnetized vacuum state is stable due to the magnetic gauge field masses included in the daisy diagrams. Some applications of the results obtained are discussed.

description: An ongoing controversy revolves around the detailed structure of the subducting European and Adriatic plates under the Alps and the adjacent orogens. Mostly based on P‐wave travel time tomographic images, slab break‐off at different times, reversals of subduction polarity and segmentation of the slab into independent units have been proposed. These processes may have important geodynamic consequences such as rapid surface uplift, past magmatic events or changes in the style of continental collision. However, some of the tomographic results are contradictory, particularly evident in the uppermost mantle where teleseismic P waves traverse the medium almost vertically with few ray crossings and a stronger dependence on the crustal correction. In this work, we present the result of an innovative joint inversion approach using surface‐ and teleseismic body‐wave travel times to mitigate some of the shortcomings in both data types. Applying a reversible‐jump Markov chain Monte Carlo approach, we simultaneously constrain the vP and vS structure and their uncertainties in the crust and upper mantle. The results indicate a continuous slab structure from the crust‐mantle boundary down to at least 400 km depth under the western, central and eastern Alps. The results, however, also suggest that fitting the data within their respective measurement uncertainties may not be sufficient to reliably determine the presence of a shallow slab break‐off beneath the Alps.

description: Atomically thin layer transition metal dichalcogenides have been intensively investigated for their rich optical properties and potential applications in nano-electronics. In this work, we study the incoherent optical phonon and exciton population dynamics in monolayer WS2 by time-resolved spontaneous Raman scattering spectroscopy. Upon excitation of the exciton transition, both the Stokes and anti-Stokes optical phonon scattering strength exhibit a large reduction. Based on the detailed balance, the optical phonon population is retrieved, which shows an instant build-up and a relaxation lifetime of around 4 ps at an exciton density E12 cm-2. The corresponding optical phonon temperature rises by 25 K, eventually, after some 10s of picoseconds, leading to a lattice heating by only around 3 K. The exciton relaxation dynamics extracted from the transient vibrational Raman response shows a strong excitation density dependence, signaling an important bi-molecular contribution to the decay. The exciton relaxation rate is found to be (70 ps)-1 and exciton-exciton annihilation rate 0.1 cm2s-1. These results provide valuable insight into the thermal dynamics after optical excitation and enhance the understanding of the fundamental exciton dynamics in two-dimensional transition metal materials.

description: We obtain a generalisation of the original complete Ricci-flat metric of G_2 holonomy on R^4\times S^3 to a family with a non-trivial parameter λ. For generic λthe solution is singular, but it is regular when λ={-1,0,+1}. The case λ=0 corresponds to the original G_2 metric, and λ={-1,1} are related to this by an S_3 automorphism of the SU(2)^3 isometry group that acts on the S^3\times S^3 principal orbits. We then construct explicit supersymmetric M3-brane solutions in D=11 supergravity, where the transverse space is a deformation of this class of G_2 metrics. These are solutions of a system of first-order differential equations coming from a superpotential. We also find M3-branes in the deformed backgrounds of new G_2-holonomy metrics that include one found by A. Brandhuber, J. Gomis, S. Gubser and S. Gukov, and show that they also are supersymmetric.
description: Latex, 29 pages. This corrects a previous version in which it was claimed that the M3-brane solutions were pseudo-supersymmetric rather than supersymmetric
Designing efficient marketplaces for the freight services industry
Creators: name: Park, Arim
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2019

description: This dissertation composes of three essays on market design for freight services: 1) characterizing the key factors for success in a current e-commerce platform of freight services by an empirical approach, 2) designing market matching algorithms for transportation services for both short-term (market efficiency) and long-term (truckers’ equity) prosperity by a mathematical programming approach, 3) classifying compensated vs. non-compensated reviews in the context of transport services and characterize their features based on text mining techniques.The first essay analyzes an existing freight service platform for the purpose of improving the platform’s efficacy. The process of matching shippers to truckers is central to meeting the demands of the fast-growing freight services market, and existing freight brokerage companies have begun adopting online platforms with the aim of increasing matching rates between shipper and truckers. However, the available platforms are currently plagued by low matching rates and shipper/trucker shortages. By analyzing the data from an online freight service company, we identify the primary factors affecting the matching rates with the expectation that our analysis will provide actionable and pragmatic suggestions for improving freight service online platforms. The South Korean trucking industry has been facing the challenge of oligopolistic behavior, where most of the transportation demand is satisfied by large transportation companies, while smaller, privately-owned truckers struggle to remain profitable. Furthermore, during peak periods of demand, these larger firms are capacity constrained, causing them to subcontract a portion of their workload to the smaller, privately-owned truckers. Thus, in the second essay, we formulate and solve an augmented resource allocation model that determines the optimal tonnage assignments and trucker share allocations, while simultaneously maximizing total supply chain coordination within the network. In recent years, online review platforms have emerged for consumers and businesses alike which may significantly affect customer buying behaviors. Smaller business may use compensated reviews to drive reputation and sales, but such reviews are often not labeled as such and can mislead customers. In the third essay, we seek to learn how compensated reviews in transportation services may differ systematically from non-compensated reviews. This study also developed classification techniques based on text mining to identify compensated vs non-compensated reviews published on online-review platforms in freight services.

description: In this work we obtain known and new supersymmetric extensions of diverse asymptotic symmetries defined in three spacetime dimensions by considering the semigroup expansion method. The super-$BMS_3$, the superconformal algebra and new infinite-dimensional superalgebras are obtained by expanding the super-Virasoro algebra. The new superalgebras obtained are supersymmetric extensions of the asymptotic algebras of the Maxwell and the $\mathfrak{so}(2,2)\oplus\mathfrak{so}(2,1)$ gravity theories. We extend our results to the $\mathcal{N}=2$ and $\mathcal{N}=4$ cases and find that R-symmetry generators are required. We also show that the new infinite-dimensional structures are related through a flat limit $\ell \rightarrow \infty$.

description: Consumers are increasingly practicing an alternative model of politics when they make food choices influenced by civic concerns. The new markets that emerge in this context carry specific modes of qualification that makes food products valuable not only for their intrinsic properties, but also for features associated with their production and distribution. This paper aims to describe the different modes of political qualification and consumer engagement that operate in food markets based on secondary data collected in papers, books, certification norms, and websites. Three distinct “political food markets” are identified: a) Fair Trade; b) sustainable agriculture; and c) vegetarian. Whilst the latter is based on a boycott of “bad” products, the other two focus on “good” alternatives. Different types of political engagement are associated to these markets, ranging from a delegation form in Fair Trade, empowered consumption in sustainable agriculture, to a lifestyle engagement regarding vegetarianism. Market devices such as certification play a major role in the growth of these markets, but also affect the type of engagement that is solicited from consumers.

description: A nonlocal dispersive-optical-model analysis has been carried out for neutrons and protons in $^{208}$Pb. Elastic-scattering angular distributions, total and reaction cross sections, single-particle energies, the neutron and proton numbers, the charge distribution, and the binding energy have been fitted to extract the neutron and proton self-energies both above and below the Fermi energy. From the single-particle propagator derived from these self-energies, we have determined the charge and matter distributions in $^{208}$Pb. The predicted spectroscopic factors are consistent with results from the $(e,e'p)$ reaction and inelastic-electron-scattering data to very high spin states. Sensible results for the high-momentum content of neutrons and protons are obtained with protons appearing more correlated, in agreement with experiment and \textit{ab initio} calculations of asymmetric matter. A neutron skin of $0.25\pm0.05$ fm is deduced. An analysis of several nuclei leads to the conclusion that finite-size effects play a non-negligible role in the formation of the neutron skin in finite nuclei.

description: A quantum channel is derived for continuous variable teleportation which is performed by means of an arbitrary entangled state and the standard protocol. When a Gaussian entangled state such as a two-mode squeezed-vacuum state is used, the continuous variable teleportation is equivalent to the thermalizing quantum channel. Continuous variable dense coding is also considered. Both the continuous variable teleportation and the continuous variable dense coding are characterized by the same function determined by the entangled state and the quantum measurement.

description: This report evaluates the U.S. and world sugar markets for 2013-2023 using the Global Sugar Policy Simulation Model. This analysis is based on assumptions that general economic conditions, agricultural policies, population growth, weather conditions, and technological changes remain at the long-run conditions. Both the U.S. and world sugar economies are predicted to improve over the next ten years. World sugar prices increased from 17.9 cents/lb in 2009 to 22.5 cents/lb in 2010 and 27.2 cents/lb in 2011 before falling to 17.5 cents/lb in 2013. In early 2014 ICE No.11 sugar prices were at 15.1 cents/lb. World sugar production declined 15% in 2013 while consumption increased slightly. World demand for sugar is expected to be strong during the next few years, resulting in world sugar prices recovering from the lows in 2014 and 2015. Sugar prices are expected to increase to 24 cents/lb by 2023. The U.S. wholesale price of sugar is projected to increase from a low 31 cents/lb in 2014 to near 38 cents/lb by 2023. It is projected that Mexican exports to the United States will increase from 1.75 million metric tons in 2013 to 1.84 million metric tons in 2023. World trade volumes of sugar are expected to increase throughout the forecast period.

description: Background: Stroke patients are often affected by long-term disabilities with needs concerning social issues. There is relatively little consideration of social recovery of patients and the support required to return to work, receive social benefits, participate in daily life activities, maintain contact with family and friends and to organize financial affairs. In our study we aimed to investigate if existing tools record social needs adequately. We analyzed the current provision of social support provided in long-term care after stroke and whether unmet social needs were associated with quality of life, caregiver burden, overall function and degree of disability. Methods: Our analysis is part of the Managing Aftercare of Stroke study (MAS-I), a cross-sectional exploratory study of patient needs 2–3 years after initial stroke. Assessment tools included the Nikolaus-score (social situation), the EuroQoL (quality of life), the German Burden Scale for Family Caregivers (caregiver burden), the modified Rankin Scale (disability / dependence), Stroke Impact Scale (function and degree of disability) and the Stroke Survivor Needs Questionnaire (unmet needs). Results: Overall 57 patients were included in MAS-I, with ten patients classified in urgent need of socio-economic support according to the Nikolaus-score. Patients with lower than normal Nikolaus-score had a higher degree of disability. Thirty percent of all patients had never received professional social support. Social worker contact happened mostly during the stay in acute hospital or rehabilitation institution. Only four patients (11%) reported long-term support after discharge. Apart from social worker contact during acute care, 43% of patients had unmet needs in the long-term aftercare. Forty percent of all patients included in MAS-I were recommended for social work intervention after an in-depth analysis of their situation. Finally, we saw that unmet social needs were associated with lower quality of life and higher caregiver burden. Conclusions: Our data suggest significant unmet needs in social care in long-term stroke patients. Screening tools for unmet social needs such as the Nikolaus-score do not holistically report patients’ needs.

description: High transaction and contracting costs are often thought to create credit and savings market failures in developing countries. The microfinance movement grew largely out of business process innovations and subsidies that reduced these costs. We examine an alternative approach, one that infuses no external capital and introduces no change to formal contracts: an improved “technology” for managing informal, collaborative village‐based savings groups. Such groups allow, in theory, for more efficient and lower‐cost loans and informal savings, and in practice have been scaled up by international non‐profit organizations to millions of members.Individuals save together and then lend the accumulated funds back out to themselves. In a randomized evaluation in Mali, we find improvements in food security, consumption smoothing, and buffer stock savings. Although we do find suggestive evidence of higher agricultural output, we do not find overall higher income or expenditure. We also do not find downstream impacts on health, education, social capital, and female decision‐making power. Could this have happened before, without any external intervention? Yes. That is what makes the result striking, that indeed there were no resources provided nor legal institutional changes,yet the NGO‐guided, improved informal processes led to important changes for households.
Cluster stability driven by quantum fluctuations

description: By means of an accurate path-integral Monte Carlo we investigate a two-dimensional ensemble of particles interacting via a Lifshitz-Petrich-Gaussian potential. In particular, analysing structures described by a commensurate ratio between the two wave numbers that mark the pattern, the Lifshitz-Petrich-Gaussian boson model may display a stable and well-defined stripe phase lacking any global phase coherence but featuring a superfluid signal along the stripe direction only. Upon increasing quantum fluctuations and quantum-mechanical exchange of bosons, the double-degeneration of the negative minima in the Fourier transform of the potential is removed at the expense of a density modulation peculiar to a cluster triangular crystal. We also show that this last structure possess all features adhering to the definition of a supersolid phase.

Gravitational Lensing Signatures of Axion Dark Matter Minihalos in Highly Magnified Stars

description: Axions are a viable candidate for Cold Dark Matter (CDM) which should generically form minihalos of sub-planetary masses from white-noise isocurvature density fluctuations if the Peccei-Quinn phase transition occurs after inflation. Despite being denser than the larger halos formed out of adiabatic fluctuations from inflation, axion minihalos have surface densities much smaller than the critical value required for gravitational lensing to produce multiple images or high magnification, and hence are practically undetectable as lenses in isolation. However, their lensing effect can be enhanced when superposed near critical curves of other lenses. We propose a method to detect them through photometric monitoring of recently discovered caustic transiting stars behind cluster lenses, under extreme magnification factors $μ\gtrsim 10^3$--$10^4$ as the lensed stars cross microlensing caustics induced by intracluster stars. For masses of the first gravitationally collapsed minihalos in the range $\sim 10^{-15}$--$10^{-8}\,h^{-1}\,M_\odot$, we show that axion minihalos in galaxy clusters should collectively produce subtle surface density fluctuations of amplitude $\sim 10^{-4}$--$10^{-3}$ on projected length scales of $\sim 10$--$10^4\,$AU, which imprint irregularities in the microlensing light curves of caustic transiting stars. We estimate that, inside a cluster halo and over the age of the Universe, most of these minihalos are likely to avoid dynamic disruption by encounters with stars or other minihalos.

Coherent lensless imaging techniques using terahertz radiation
Creators: name: Valzania, Lorenzo
Publisher: name: Universität Bern
Year: 2019
Subjects: 620 Engineering

description: Terahertz (THz) radiation denotes the portion of the electromagnetic spectrum lying between the infrared and microwave bands, corresponding to frequencies in the range 0.1-10 THz. The most intriguing feature of using THz waves is their ability to penetrate several non-conducting and optically opaque materials, such as plastics, textiles, paper, and some building materials as well as intrinsic semiconductors. While this property is also shared by microwaves, THz radiation provides a better spatial resolution thanks to the shorter wavelength, thereby imaging hidden objects with sub-millimeter resolution. The non-ionizing nature of THz radiation when it interacts with living tissues also makes THz imaging techniques promising for biomedical and biological applications. In this thesis, I focus on the development and implementation of THz imaging techniques. All the techniques presented here belong to the realm of coherent lensless imaging, aiming at reconstructing the amplitude and phase of the wavefront diffracted by an unknown object, illuminated with coherent radiation, based on measurements of the intensity of their diffraction pattern recorded with a camera. The fact that the imaging process is carried out fully computationally and without the need of lenses has a crucial impact on the experimental setup, which is therefore compact and can be better tailored to real-life applications. In particular, I am going to discuss both theoretical and experimental aspects of synthetic aperture THz off-axis digital holography, the first experimental demonstration of THz ptychography and how to image objects hidden behind weakly and strongly diffracting barriers. A potential biomedical application for such THz imaging techniques will also be suggested.

The effective conductivity measured for this tilt angle reveals an intensive peak at finite frequency (ν~ 50 cm{-1}) due to a mixing of the in-plane and out-of-plane responses. The peak disappears for the pure in-plane response and transforms to the Drude-like contribution.

description: Net farm income in North Dakota was at record levels for most representative farms in 2012. However net farm income fell for 2013 and is expected to continue to fall through 2023. Commodity prices are expected to decrease slowly from current levels. Commodity yields are projected to increase at historical trend-line rates and production expenses are expected to return to normal growth rates. Debt-to-asset ratios for all farms except for the low profit farm will increase slightly throughout the forecast period. Debt-to-asset ratios for the low-profit farms are expected to increase slightly.
Quantum learning and universal quantum matching machine

description: Suppose that three kinds of quantum systems are given in some unknown states $\ket f^{\otimes N}$, $\ket{g_1}^{\otimes K}$, and $\ket{g_2}^{\otimes K}$, and we want to decide which \textit{template} state $\ket{g_1}$ or $\ket{g_2}$, each representing the feature of the pattern class ${\cal C}_1$ or ${\cal C}_2$, respectively, is closest to the input \textit{feature} state $\ket f$. This is an extension of the pattern matching problem into the quantum domain. Assuming that these states are known a priori to belong to a certain parametric family of pure qubit systems, we derive two kinds of matching strategies. The first is a semiclassical strategy which is obtained by the natural extension of conventional matching strategies and consists of a two-stage procedure: identification (estimation) of the unknown template states to design the classifier (\textit{learning} process to train the classifier) and classification of the input system into the appropriate pattern class based on the estimated results. The other is a fully quantum strategy without any intermediate measurement which we might call as the {\it universal quantum matching machine}. We present the Bayes optimal solutions for both strategies in the case of K=1, showing that there certainly exists a fully quantum matching procedure which is strictly superior to the straightforward semiclassical extension of the conventional matching strategy based on the learning process.

description: We study the identity projectors of the string field theory in the generic BCFT background. We explain how it can be identified as the projector in the linking algebra of the noncommutative geometry. We show that their (regularized) trace is exactly given by the boundary entropy which is proportional to the D-brane tension.

description: A shortcoming of the typical use of the frequentist probabilistic approach in reliability analysis of limit state equations that appear in the geotechnical literature is that estimates of the uncertainty in reliability index (probability of failure) are not made. A Bayesian approach is demonstrated in the paper to overcome this shortcoming using the example of the pullout limit state for internal stability of mechanically stabilised earth (MSE) walls. The paper shows that in the Bayesian context, reliability index or probability of failure are modelled as probability distributions, and therefore readily incorporate the uncertainty in their estimates. The general approach provides a tool to communicate the level of risk to stakeholders that follows from the choice of design method and guidance to reduce uncertainty on the estimate of reliability. For practical purposes, the predictive reliability index may be used as an alternative measure of margin of safety that takes this uncertainty into account.
Surface anchoring as a control parameter for stabilizing torons, skyrmions, twisted walls, fingers and their hybrids in chiral nematics

description: Chiral condensed matter systems, such as liquid crystals and magnets, exhibit a host of spatially localized topological structures that emerge from the medium's tendency to twist and its competition with confinement and field coupling effects. We show that the strength of perpendicular surface boundary conditions can be used to control the structure and topology of solitonic and other localized field configurations. By combining numerical modeling and three-dimensional imaging of the director field, we reveal structural stability diagrams and inter-transformation of twisted walls and fingers, torons and skyrmions and their crystalline organizations upon changing boundary conditions. Our findings provide a recipe for controllably realizing skyrmions, torons and hybrid solitonic structures possessing features of both of them, which will aid in fundamental explorations and technological uses of such topological solitons. Moreover, we discuss how other material parameters can be used to determine soliton stability, and how similar principles can be systematically applied to other liquid crystal solitons, and solitons in other material systems.
Induced Lorentz-Violating Chern-Simons Term in QED: Uncovering Short Distance Interaction Terms in the Effective Lagrangian without the Shadow of Regularization

description: We show that the correctly evaluated effective Lagrangian should include short-distance interaction terms which have been avoided under the protection of usual regularization and must be properly identified and reinstated if regularization is to be removed. They have special physical and mathematical significance as well as restoring gauge invariance and suppressing divergence in the effective Lagrangian. The rich structure of the short-distance interaction terms can open up challenging opportunities where the conventional regularization with rigid structure is unavailable and inappropriate. It becomes clear that gauge invariance is preserved with or without regularization and therefore there is no Lorentz-Violating Chern-Simons term in QED.

description: Unsharp spin 1 observables arise from the fact that a residual uncertainty about the actual orientation of the measurement device remains. If the uncertainty is below a certain level, and if the distribution of measurement errors is covariant under rotations, a Kochen-Specker theorem for the unsharp spin observables follows: There are finite sets of directions such that not all the unsharp spin observables in these directions can consistently be assigned approximate truth-values in a non-contextual way.

description: We present program objectives and specifications for the first generation Ultra-Fast Astronomy (UFA) observatory which will explore a new astrophysical phase space by characterizing the variability of the optical (320 nm - 650 nm) sky in the millisecond to nanosecond timescales. One of the first objectives of the UFA observatory will be to search for optical counterparts to fast radio bursts (FRB) that can be used to identify the origins of FRB and probe the epoch of reionization and baryonic matter in the interstellar and intergalactic mediums. The UFA camera will consist of two single-photon resolution fast-response detector 16x16 arrays operated in coincidence mounted on the 0.7 meter Nazarbayev University Transient Telescope at the Assy-Turgen Astrophysical Observatory (NUTTelA-TAO) located near Almaty, Kazakhstan. We are currently developing two readout systems that can measure down to the microsecond and nanosecond timescales and characterizing two silicon photomultipliers (SiPM) and one photomultiplier tube (PMT) to compare the detectors for the UFA observatory and astrophysical observations in general.

description: This paper examined sustained competitive advantage for a sample of 377 Kansas Farm Management Association farms with continuous data from 1988-2007. Technical, allocative, scale and overall efficiency indices were calculated for each farm and year. Approximately 30 percent of the farms exhibited significantly above average overall efficiency levels. These farms had a competitive advantage. Conversely, approximately 28 percent of the farms exhibited significantly below average overall efficiency levels or had a competitive disadvantage. The farms with a competitive advantage were significantly larger in terms of value of farm production and acreage, had significantly lower expense ratios and significantly higher profit margins.

description: Georgia field crop production entails agronomic considerations that lead to a typical system that includes cotton, peanuts and corn as rotation crops. Financial analysis of Georgia field crops indicates the importance of government programs to support farm income. Current legislation permits double-cropping of Georgia fruits and vegetables on base commodity program acreage with no reduction in direct and counter-cyclical payments. Fresh cabbage has seasonal markets in which Georgia is the major U.S. supplier during the April-June and October-December harvesting months. Results indicate increased net returns of $377/ac. by doublecropping cabbage in a system with field crops.
