Creators: name: ATLAS Collaboration
Publisher: name: HEPData
Year: 2014

description: lJetsInt.txt
description: CERN-LHC. Measurement of the jet shapes in top-quark pair events from proton-proton collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 7 TeV. The analysis uses a data sample of integrated luminosity 1.8 fb-1. Jets are reconstructed using the anti-kT algorithm with jet radius R=0.4. Jet shapes are presented as differential and integrated defined as: Differential (RHO) - scalar sum of jet PT in an annulus of thickness deltaR around radius r / scalar sum of jet PT in the cone of radius R. Integrated (PSI) - scalar sum of jet PT in cone radius r / scalar sum of jet PT in cone radius R. Data are shown separated into b-jets and light-jet events. UPDATE (22 JUL 2014): Information on the different sources of systematic uncertainty is given in the following four links, containing tables with the relative values of the uncertainty (in %) for both the differential (Diff) and integrated (Int) versions of the jet shapes for both light- (lJets) and b-jets (bJets). The uncertainties indicated with (Up) and (Down) are asymmetric, while the rest are symmetric on each bin.

description: The density of states in the semiclassical Andreev billiard is theoretically studied and shown to be determined by the fluctuations of the classical Lyapunov exponent $λ$. The rare trajectories with a small value of $λ$ give rise to an anomalous increase of the Ehrenfest time $τ_E\approx |\ln\hbar|/λ$ and, consequently, to the appearance of Andreev levels with small excitation energy. The gap in spectrum is obtained and fluctuations of the value of the gap due to different positions of superconducting lead are considered.

A study of the hydrodynamic performance of Voith-Schneider propelled escort tugs
Creators: name: Ratcliff, Arlon J.T.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The hydrodynamic performance of a typical modern escort tug, as it relates to indirectly applied ship handling force, is examined through an experimental and theoretical study. Experimental results are presented from a series of tow tank tests performed on a 1:18 scale model of the Voith-Schneider Propelled (VSP) escort tug, AJAX. Steady state flow patterns close to the hull are investigated and possible areas of focus for improvement are highlighted. Using this information, three alternative skeg configurations are proposed and tested. A semi-empirical numerical model, based on current and previous experimental data, is developed as a standard basis of comparison for the alternative configurations. The numerical model also allows prediction of performance for hypothetical tug designs. A sensitivity analysis is performed using the numerical model to determine areas of focus for design optimization. No significant difference in performance was found between the alternative and baseline skeg configurations, indicating more comprehensive design changes are required to effectively improve escort performance. However, an alternative configuration, consisting of a skeg similar to the baseline skeg with a gap at mid- chord, achieved this comparable performance with 14% less lateral area, which may be of benefit to other aspects of tug performance. The results of the flow visualization study and sensitivity analysis indicate location of the skeg has a greater influence on performance than shape. Stability and tow point location are also relatively important. However, no single design parameter was identified for focus. Instead, design optimization requires a balance of several parameters. The numerical model can be used for this purpose. The numerical model produces performance estimates with an uncertainty of 15% of the maximum steering force. This uncertainty is adequate for initial estimates at the early stages of escort tug development.
Near-minimum-time control of a robot manipulator
Creators: name: Tao, Fan
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis deals with the problem of minimum time control of a rigid robot manipulator with point-to-point motion subject to constraints on the control inputs. Due to the nonlinear and coupled dynamics of the robot manipulator, finding minimum time strategies is algorithmically difficult and computationally very intensive, even when the dynamic equations and parameters of the manipulator are precisely known. As a result, the practical applicability of the available methods currently is very limited. In this research, we assume the control inputs are always bang-bang and switch once. Using the Principle of Work and Energy, a simple and practical "zero-net-work" searching approach is proposed. The proposed method focuses on changes in the manipulator's kinetic energy during the time optimal motion, instead of concentrating on the system's state variables, as is usually done in conventional approaches. The "zero-net-work" method is used to develop the controllers for one-link manipulators, a 3-degree of freedom cylindrical manipulator and a two-degree of freedom revolute manipulator. The results show that if the structure of the exact minimum time control is bang-bang with a single switch, using the "zero-net-work" method we will get the exact minimum time solution. If the exact minimum time control has more than one switch, using the "zero-net-work" method we will get a near-minimum-time solution. The major advantages of the proposed method are that it does not require initial boundary value guesses and is computationally efficient.

description: Genetic diversity is the foundation for introducing plant development programs. Scientists and breeders used various methods, ranging from modern crossing to classical biotechnologies, to address the restricted incidence of natural mutations. Incomplete gene disruption or spontaneous injection of transgenes into plant genomes also occurs in earlier generations of knockout and gain-of function technologies. Recent advances in genetic engineering has brought numerous benefits to the food and agriculture sector by improving the essential features of agricultural features. The CRISPR / Cas9 technology emerges from a bacterial immune system of type II and represents a new age of selective genome editing technology that can be spread to almost all species. In this paper, we have focused on advancements in the utilization of the CRISPR-Cas9 system in the food and agricultural industry, particularly in the development of resistant crops with improved quality and productivity.
Quantum entanglement as an interpretation of bosonic character in composite two-particle systems
Creators: name: Law, C. K.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2004
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We consider a composite particle formed by two fermions or two bosons. We discover that composite behavior is deeply related to the quantum entanglement between the constituent particles. By analyzing the properties of creation and annihilation operators, we show that bosonic character emerges if the constituent particles become strongly entangled. Such a connection is demonstrated explicitly in a class of two-particle wave functions.

description: Phase-space descriptions are used to find qualitative features of the solutions of generalized scalar field cosmologies with arbitrary potentials and arbitrary couplings to matter. Previous results are summarized and new ones are presented as theorems, which include the previous ones as corollaries. Examples of these results are presented as well as counterexamples when the hypotheses of the theorems are not fulfilled. Potentials with small cosine-like corrections motivated by inflationary loop-quantum cosmology are discussed. Finally, the Hubble-normalized formulation for the FRW metric and for the Bianchi I metric is applied to a scalar field cosmology with a generalized harmonic potential, non-minimally coupled to matter, and the stability of the solutions is discussed.

description: Let $\nabla$ be a metric connection with totally skew-symmetric torsion $\T$ on a Riemannian manifold. Given a spinor field $Ψ$ and a dilaton function $Φ$, the basic equations in type II B string theory are \bdm \nabla Ψ= 0, \quad δ(\T) = a \cdot \big(d Φ\haken \T \big), \quad \T \cdot Ψ= b \cdot d Φ\cdot Ψ+ μ\cdot Ψ. \edm We derive some relations between the length $||\T||^2$ of the torsion form, the scalar curvature of $\nabla$, the dilaton function $Φ$ and the parameters $a,b,μ$. The main results deal with the divergence of the Ricci tensor $\Ric^{\nabla}$ of the connection. In particular, if the supersymmetry $Ψ$ is non-trivial and if the conditions \bdm (d Φ\haken \T) \haken \T = 0, \quad δ^{\nabla}(d \T) \cdot Ψ= 0 \edm hold, then the energy-momentum tensor is divergence-free. We show that the latter condition is satisfied in many examples constructed out of special geometries. A special case is $a = b$. Then the divergence of the energy-momentum tensor vanishes if and only if one condition $δ^{\nabla}(d \T) \cdot Ψ= 0$ holds. Strong models ($d \T = 0$) have this property, but there are examples with $δ^{\nabla}(d \T) \neq 0$ and $δ^{\nabla}(d \T) \cdot Ψ= 0$.

description: In the present paper, we study the combined incompressible and fast rotation limits for the full Navier-Stokes-Fourier system with Coriolis, centrifugal and gravitational forces, in the regime of small Mach, Froude and Rossby numbers and for general ill-prepared initial data. We consider both the isotropic scaling (where all the numbers have the same order of magnitude) and the multi-scale case (where some effect is predominant with respect to the others). In the case when the Mach number is of higher order than the Rossby number, we prove that the limit dynamics is described by an incompressible Oberbeck-Boussinesq system, where the velocity field is horizontal (according to the Taylor-Proudman theorem), but vertical effects on the temperature equation are not negligible. Instead, when the Mach and Rossby numbers have the same order of magnitude, and in absence of the centrifugal force, we show convergence to a quasi-geostrophic equation for a stream function of the limit velocity field, coupled with a transport-diffusion equation for a new unknown, which links the target density and temperature profiles. The proof of the convergence is based on a compensated compactness argument. The key point is to identify some compactness properties hidden in the system of acoustic-Poincaré waves. Compared to previous results, our method enables first of all to treat the whole range of parameters in the multi-scale problem, and also to consider a low Froude number regime with the somehow critical choice $Fr=\sqrt{Ma}$, where $Ma$ is the Mach number. This allows us to capture some (low) stratification effects in the limit.

description: We analyze the growth of family farms in Israeli cooperative villages between 1981 and 1995, using longitudinal data. We use instrumental variables to account for the endogeneity of initial farm size, and correct for selectivity due to farm survival. We also include a technical efficiency index, derived from the estimation of a stochastic frontier production model, as an explanatory variable. We find that technical efficiency is an important determinant of farm growth, and that not controlling for technical efficiency could seriously bias the results. The size distribution of Israeli family farms is found to be mostly diverging, while without technical efficiency farm growth seemed to be predominantly random.

description: Over the last 10 years, Burkina Faso has experienced a reform of its cotton sector, and is now the largest African cotton producer and exporter. The cotton ”boom” consisted of a rapid expansion of cotton areas through the growth of land shares allocated to cotton (and new producers), together with an overall increase in total cultivated land. In this paper, we present an empirical framework to determine the contribution of total farmland changes in the increase of land dedicated to cotton, where both processes are represented by ordered endogenous variables. We then analyze data that we collected in rural Burkina Faso in March 2006 within this framework. From measurable indicators of farmer behavior and variables that measure farmer statements for the reasons of this behavior, we are able to identify both direct and indirect effects of the cotton reform on the extensive growth of cotton seed production. They are namely mechanization and technical assistance, labor intensification, enhanced managerial abilities (learning by doing and better environment for farmers), production incentives arising from the new local organizations of producers, guarantees and confidence stemming from the sector and an easier access to agricultural inputs.

description: Magnetic topological materials, in which strong correlations between magnetic and electronic properties of matter, give rise to various exotic phenomena such as anomalous Hall effect (AHE), topological Hall effect (THE), and skyrmion lattice. Here, we report on the electronic, magnetic, and topological properties of Mn$_{3-\it{x}}$Fe$_{\it{x}}$Sn single crystals ($\it{x}$=0, 0.25, and 0.35). Low temperature magnetic properties have been significantly changed with Fe doping. Most importantly, we observe that large uniaxial magnetocrystalline anisotropy that is induced by the Fe doping in combination with competing magnetic interactions at low temperature produce nontrivial spin-texture, leading to large topological Hall effect in the doped systems at low temperatures. Our studies further show that the topological properties of Mn$_{3-\it{x}}$Fe$_{\it{x}}$Sn are very sensitive to the Fe doping.

description: We consider a picture in which the transition from a big crunch to a big bang corresponds to the collision of two empty orbifold planes approaching each other at a constant non-relativistic speed in a locally flat background space-time, a situation relevant to recently proposed cosmological models. We show that $p$-brane states which wind around the extra dimension propagate smoothly and unambiguously across the orbifold plane collision. In particular we calculate the quantum mechanical production of winding M2-branes extending from one orbifold to the other. We find that the resulting density is finite and that the resulting gravitational back-reaction is small. These winding states, which include the string theory graviton, can be propagated smoothly across the transition using a perturbative expansion in the membrane tension, an expansion which from the point of view of string theory is an expansion in {\it inverse} powers of $α'$. We argue that interactions should be well-behaved because the string coupling tends to zero at the crunch. The production of massive Kaluza-Klein states should also be exponentially suppressed for small collision speeds. We contrast this good behavior with that found in previous studies of strings in Lorentzian orbifolds.

description: We analytically solve the Sudakov suppressed Balitsky-Kovchegov evolution equation with the fixed and running coupling constants in the saturation region. The analytic solution of the $S$-matrix shows the $\exp(\mathcal{O}(η^2))$ rapidity dependence of the solution with the fixed coupling constant is replaced by $\exp(\mathcal{O}(η^{3/2}))$ dependence in the smallest dipole running coupling case rather than obeying the law found in our previous publication, in which all the solutions of the next-to-leading order evolution equations comply with $\exp(\mathcal{O}(η))$ rapidity dependence once the QCD coupling is switched from the fixed coupling to the smallest dipole running coupling prescription. This finding indicates that the corrections of the sub-leading double logarithms in the Sudakov suppressed evolution equation are significant, which compensate part of the evolution decrease of the dipole amplitude made by running coupling effect. To test the analytic findings, we calculate the numerical solutions of the Sudakov suppressed evolution equation, the numerical results confirm the analytic outcomes. Moreover, we use the numerical solutions of the evolution equation to fit the HERA data. It shows that the Sudakove suppressed evolution equation can give good quality fit to the data.

description: We use numerical hydrodynamical simulations of early structure formation in a LCDM universe to investigate the spin temperature and 21cm brightness of the diffuse intergalactic medium (IGM) prior to the epoch of cosmic reionization, at z<20. In the absence of any radiative heating, collisions between neutral hydrogen atoms can efficiently decouple the spin temperature from the CMB only in dense minihalos and filaments. Shock heated gas shines in emission, surrounded by cooler gas visible in absorption. In the case of a warm, mostly neutral IGM, produced here by X-ray emission from an early miniquasar, the 21cm signal is strongly enhanced. Even slightly overdense filaments now shine in emission against the CMB, possibly allowing future radio arrays to probe the distribution of neutral hydrogen before reionization.

The observed oscillatory behavior of both quantities upon variation of the thickness of the ferromagnetic layer is found to be in good agreement with theory. The length scale of oscillations is identical for both quantities and is set by the magnetic length corresponding to an exchange field of 200 meV in Ni. The consistency between the behavior of the two quantities provides strong evidence for periodic pi- phase shifts in these devices.

description: The cotton economy of Burkina Faso has been characterized by a changing rural environment for farmers since late nineties, which has come with the cotton reform and the resulting cotton boost. There have been slight improvements in living standards and rural households’ income while the subjective feeling of wealth has significantly increased. In this paper, I explore the channels through which the elements of the changing rural environment can bridge the wedge between subjective and objective measures of wealth. In addition to the basic determinants of subjective welfare that can be found in the happiness economics literature, namely absolute and relative income measures, health and social status (and expectations of future incomes), I investigate the empirical validity of institutional and technological change as well as the perceptions about the reform. I propose a bivariate ordered Probit model to deal with endogenous covariant perceptions in the assessment of subjective wealth. I find that the significantly positive evolution of subjective wealth has been driven by the relative measure of income, the feeling of progress through institutional and technological improvements and by enthusiastic perceptions about the reform’s effects on poverty alleviation and welfare. This evolution has been altered by the beliefs about a larger input access and better agricultural abilities resulting from the reform (comparison effect).
The permeability and compressibility of semi-dilute pulp fibre suspensions : inversely solving the governing PDE of sedimentation
Creators: name: Young, Edmond Wai Keung
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis discusses the development of a numerical tool for studying the permeability and compressibility of pulp fibres in sedimentation. The purpose is to determine the functional relationships of permeability and compressibility in the semi-dilute concentration regime of pulp suspensions. The first step in the approach to developing this numerical tool involves performing settling tests and obtaining experimental data by positron emission tomography (PET). By radioactively labelling select fibres, the mobility of certain fibre fractions can be detected using PET and changes in concentration throughout the settling suspensions can be shown over time. These results can be summarized into concentration profiles that represent a snapshot of the settling fraction at one instant in time. The next step is to obtain corresponding theoretical concentration profiles by numerical simulation. The settling process of a suspension in a vertical column is governed by a time-dependent one-dimensional partial differential equation. This PDE is derived by assuming the suspension is a superimposed continuous porous medium governed by permeability and compressibility functions that describe the physical behaviour of the suspension. The PDE can be solved numerically by suitable discretization of the spatial domain and stable advancement of the time-dependent solution. Once solved, the solution to the settling process can again be represented by a series of concentration profiles. Since the PDE is governed by permeability and compressibility functions, a good match between experimental and theoretical concentration profiles reveals the correct functions for a given fibre fraction within the suspension. For known functional forms of permeability and compressibility, this reduces to a parameter fitting exercise. The optimal set of parameters is found by numerically comparing the match between results using the sum-of-squares method to measure overall discrepancy. Final comparison be tween experimental and numerical profiles reveals a good fit between results and shows that the parameter fitting procedure is successful in determining the desired functions of permeability and compressibility.

description: In this paper, we present the full Lagrangian of mesons (pseudoscalars, vectors and axial-vectors) to $O(p^4)$ by using the explicit global chiral symmetry and hidden local symmetry in the chiral limit. In this approach, we see that there are many other terms besides the usual eleven terms given in the literature from hidden local symmetry approach. Of particular, there are some terms in our full results which are important for understanding the vector meson dominance and $π-π$ scattering and providing consistent predictions on the decay rates of $a_1\toγπ$ and $a_1\toρπ$ as well as for constructing a consistent effective chiral Lagrangian with chiral perturbation theory. It is likely that the structures of the effective chiral Lagrangian for $O(p^4)$ given in the literature by using hidden local symmetry are incomplete and consequently the resulting couplings are not reliable. It is examined that the more general effective chiral Lagrangian given in present paper can provide more consistent predictions for the low energy phenomenology of $ρ-a_1$ system and result in more consistent descriptions on the low energy behavior of light flavor mesons.

description: Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and let $G$ be a finitely generated subgroup of the multiplicative group of $K$. We consider $K$-valued sequences of the form $a_n:=f(φ^n(x_0))$, where $φ\colon X\to X$ and $f\colon X\to\mathbb{P}^1$ are rational maps defined over $K$ and $x_0\in X$ is a point whose forward orbit avoids the indeterminacy loci of $φ$ and $f$. Many classical sequences from number theory and algebraic combinatorics fall under this dynamical framework, and we show that the set of $n$ for which $a_n\in G$ is a finite union of arithmetic progressions along with a set of Banach density zero. In addition, we show that if $a_n\in G$ for every $n$ and $X$ is irreducible and the $φ$ orbit of $x$ is Zariski dense in $X$ then there are a multiplicative torus $\mathbb{G}_m^d$ and maps $Ψ:\mathbb{G}_m^d \to \mathbb{G}_m^d$ and $g:\mathbb{G}_m^d \to \mathbb{G}_m$ such that $a_n = g\circ Ψ^n(y)$ for some $y\in \mathbb{G}_m^d$. We then obtain results about the coefficients of $D$-finite power series using these facts.

description: In this paper, we develop a group learning approach to analyze the underlying heterogeneity structure of shot selection among professional basketball players in the NBA. We propose a mixture of finite mixtures (MFM) model to capture the heterogeneity of shot selection among different players based on Log Gaussian Cox process (LGCP). Our proposed method can simultaneously estimate the number of groups and group configurations. An efficient Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithm is developed for our proposed model. Simulation studies have been conducted to demonstrate its performance. Ultimately, our proposed learning approach is further illustrated in analyzing shot charts of several players in the NBA's 2017-2018 regular season.

description: Discusses the possible relevance of the Kuznets environmental curve to centrally planned economies and compares their situation with that for market economies. Claims that Kuznets environmental curves apply to ‘normal’ situations and so give little guide to environmental impacts of economies in transition. Difficulties encountered in protecting the environment in transitional situations are given special consideration. The environmental experiences of Eastern and Central Europe, Russia and China are discussed. Their different methods of social and economic transformation and varied economic fortunes have had divergent environmental consequences in these countries. When negative economic growth has occurred in transition over a long period, as in Russia, the natural environment has suffered. However, as explained, the situation is complex. In the conclusion, some attention is given to the environmental situation of African countries in transition. Their transitional processes, like that of many other countries, are driven by international financial pressure to adopt structural adjustment policies. It is noted that the consequences of transition depend very much on whether the ‘American’ laissez-faire ideal of a market economy is adopted or the ‘German’ social order market-model and on whether transition is gradualistic or suddenly forced without adequate internal institution-building

description: Background: Tuberculosis is a problem for millions of people around the world. Indonesia as the second biggest country with the highest number of Pulmonary Tuberculosis that treatment has improved gradually. Denpasar is a city with the highest sufferers in Bali. It’s caused by the high rate of population, dense human settlement, and other related factors. Objective: Profiling incident and pulmonary tuberculosis treatment in Denpasar City primary health care. Methods: Observational study with cross-sectional analytic approaches. Forty pulmonary tuberculosis patients and One hundred twenty non-tuberculosis patients were observed in this study. Those were taken by multistage random sampling. Data were collected from medical records and questionnaires. A Chi-Square test was used for analyzing data. Results: Pulmonary tuberculo-sis sufferers are in productive ages which 65% were men. The treatment profile was excellently seen from the final treatment results of 31 people recovered and 9 people with complete treat-ment. Factors that have a statistical relation with pulmonary tuberculosis were occupation (p=0,012), income (p=0.003), smoking behavior (p=0.001), and contact history (p=0.001). The other factors with no relationship were education (p=0.270) and occupancy density (p=0.540). Conclusion: Pay attention to the caused factors of tuberculosis infection; society is suggested to implement a healthy lifestyle, maintain home sanitation, and environment.

description: Since India’s independence some 50 years ago, it has experienced considerable economic growth and structural change; a trend accelerated by its structural reforms which began in 1991. These changes are also reflected in trends in its livestock sector which has shown considerable growth in recent decades (especially since the late 1970s). There have also been major changes in the composition of the Indian livestock sector. The population of non-ruminants (particularly chickens) has expanded very rapidly and so their relative importance has risen substantially. Non-ruminant production (poultry and pigs) has increasingly become commercialised and industrial in nature. Trends and developments in India’s livestock industries since 1961 are outlined. Consequences and prospects for consumption of livestock products in India and international trade are discussed along with the environmental impacts of developments in India’s livestock industries. As observed, livestock developments in India have been significantly influenced by religious and cultural factors. Consequently, the nature of India’s livestock sector is to some extent unique.

description: Meta-learning has proven to be successful for few-shot learning across the regression, classification, and reinforcement learning paradigms. Recent approaches have adopted Bayesian interpretations to improve gradient-based meta-learners by quantifying the uncertainty of the post-adaptation estimates. Most of these works almost completely ignore the latent relationship between the covariate distribution $(p(x))$ of a task and the corresponding conditional distribution $p(y|x)$. In this paper, we identify the need to explicitly model the meta-distribution over the task covariates in a hierarchical Bayesian framework. We begin by introducing a graphical model that leverages the samples from the marginal $p(x)$ to better infer the posterior over the optimal parameters of the conditional distribution $(p(y|x))$ for each task. Based on this model we propose a computationally feasible meta-learning algorithm by introducing meaningful relaxations in our final objective. We demonstrate the gains of our algorithm over initialization based meta-learning baselines on popular classification benchmarks. Finally, to understand the potential benefit of modeling task covariates we further evaluate our method on a synthetic regression dataset.
