description: This work is aimed at the multi-configuration Hartree-Fock calculations of the 6s ionization energies of lanthanides with configurations [Xe]4f^{N}6s^{2}. Authors have used the ATSP MCHF version in which there are new codes for calculation of spin-angular parts of matrix elements of the operators of intraatomic interactions written on the basis of the methodology Gaigalas, Rudzikas and Froese Fischer, based on the second quantization in coupled tensorial form, the angular momentum theory in 3 spaces (orbital, spin and quasispin), graphical technique of spin-angular integrations and reduced coefficients (subcoefficients) of fractional parentage. This methodology allows us to study the configurations with open f-shells without any restrictions, thus providing the possibility to investigate heavy atoms and ions as well as to obtain reasonably accurate values of spectroscopic data for such complex many-electron systems.

description: For the GBAR (Gravitational Behaviour of Antihydrogen at Rest) experiment at CERN's Antiproton Decelerator (AD) facility we have constructed a source of slow positrons, which uses a low-energy electron linear accelerator (linac). The driver linac produces electrons of 9 MeV kinetic energy that create positrons from bremsstrahlung-induced pair production. Staying below 10 MeV ensures no persistent radioactive activation in the target zone and that the radiation level outside the biological shield is safe for public access. An annealed tungsten-mesh assembly placed directly behind the target acts as a positron moderator. The system produces $5\times10^7$ slow positrons per second, a performance demonstrating that a low-energy electron linac is a superior choice over positron-emitting radioactive sources for high positron flux.

Application of artificial neural networks for terrain stability mapping
Creators: name: Pavel, Mihai
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis investigates terrain stability mapping using Artificial Neural Networks (ANN). Preliminary analyses were conducted to evaluate the numerous types of ANN and select the one considered most appropriate for this problem. Kohonen Self-Organizing Maps were selected to be used in this study. Self-Organizing Maps include in principle two architectures (paradigms): Learning Vector Quantization (LVQ) for supervised learning, and the Self-Organizing Map itself (SOM) for unsupervised learning. Both architectures were used in this thesis. Analyses were performed on two study areas in southwestern British Columbia. Data were stored in a Geographic Information System (GIS), and terrain analyzed was represented in the raster format. Analyses were conducted based on topographic and geomorphic terrain attributes. Both supervised and unsupervised analyses produced good results. The attributes most relevant to terrain stability mapping were identified as slope, elevation, aspect, and existing geomorphic processes. In supervised mode, unstable terrain was delineated with accuracies of 94% and 95% for the two study sites, and unstable and potentially unstable terrain were delineated with accuracies of 91% and 82%, respectively. A comparison with a physically-based model showed that LVQ-based analyses yielded superior results. Unsupervised analyses also produced accurate terrain mappings, and SOM proved to have good explanatory power with respect to the influence of the attributes used.

description: A stochastic frontier production function is defined for panel data on maize producing regions of South Africa. Technical inefficiency effects are assumed to be a function of climatic conditions, time and the terms of trade facing maize producers. The model is derived using nine years of data for the six major maize production regions of South Africa. The results demonstrate how maize farmers have increased their efficiency in the face of a cost-squeeze. The increased efficiency seems to be driven by lower levels of intermediate input use when facing higher costs and uncertain weather conditions.

description: We propose a mechanism for the spontaneous (gauge-invariant) reduction of noncommutative ${\cal U}(n)$ gauge theories down to SU(n). This can be achieved through the condensation of composite ${\cal U}(n)$ gauge invariant fields that involves half-infinite Wilson lines in trace-U(1) noninvariant and SU(n) preserving direction. Based on this mechanism we discuss anomaly-free fully gauge invariant noncommutative Standard Model based on the minimal gauge group ${\cal U}(3)\times {\cal U}(2)\times {\cal U}(1)$, previously proposed, and show how it can be consistently reduced to the Standard Model with the usual particle spectrum. Charge quantization for quarks and leptons naturally follows from the model.

description: The squeezed cat state, an essential quantum resource, can be used for quantum error correction and slowing decoherence of the optical cat state. However, preparing a squeezed cat state with high generation rate, and effectively manipulating it, remain challenging. In this work, a high-performance all-optical in-line squeezer is developed to prepare a squeezed cat state and manipulate the phase of the quadrature squeezing. This scheme has the advantages that the phase of the quadrature squeezing of the squeezed cat state can be manipulated by changing the working condition of the squeezer, and that a higher generation rate can be achieved via the deterministic squeezing operation of the in-line squeezer. The generation rate of squeezed cat states reaches 2 kHz, the same as that of the initial cat state. The all-optical in-line squeezer proposed here removes the requirements of electro-optic and opto-electric conversions necessary for an off-line squeezer, thus enabling high-bandwidth squeezing operations on non-Gaussian states. These results provide an efficient method to prepare and manipulate optical squeezed cat states, which makes a step closer to their applications in all-optical quantum information processing.

Quantum Nondemolition Charge Measurement of a Josephson Qubit

description: In a qubit system, the measurement operator does not necessarily commute with the qubit Hamiltonian, so that the readout process demolishes (mixes) the qubit energy eigenstates. The readout time is therefore limited by such a mixing time and its fidelity will be reduced. A quantum nondemolition readout scheme is proposed in which the charge of a flux qubit is measured. The measurement operator is shown to commute with the qubit Hamiltonian in the reduced two-level Hilbert space, even though the Hamiltonian contains non-commuting charge and flux terms.

Bipartite temporal Bell inequalities for two-mode squeezed states

description: Bipartite temporal Bell inequalities are similar to the usual Bell inequalities except that, instead of changing the direction of the polariser at each measurement, one changes the time at which the measurement is being performed. By doing so, one is able to test for realism and locality, but relying on position measurements only. This is particularly useful in experimental setups where the momentum direction cannot be probed (such as in cosmology for instance). We study these bipartite temporal Bell inequalities for continuous systems placed in two-mode squeezed states, and find some regions in parameter space where they are indeed violated. We highlight the role played by the rotation angle, which is one of the three parameters characterising a two-mode squeezed state (the other two being the squeezing amplitude and the squeezing angle). In single-time measurements, it only determines the overall phase of the wavefunction and can therefore be discarded, but in multiple-time measurements, its time dynamics becomes relevant and crucially determines when bipartite temporal Bell inequalities can be violated. Our study opens up the possibility of new experimental designs for the observation of Bell inequality violations.

description: Based on experimental 59Co-NMR data in the temperature range between 0.1 and 300 K, we address the problem of the character of the Co 3d-electron based magnetism in Na0.7CoO2. Temperature dependent 59Co-NMR spectra reveal different Co environments below 300 K and their differentiation increases with decreasing temperature. We show that the 23Na- and 59Co-NMR data may consistently be interpreted by assuming that below room temperature the Co 3d-electrons are itinerant. Their magnetic interaction appears to favor an antiferromagnetic coupling, and we identify a substantial orbital contribution corb to the d-electron susceptibility. At low temperatures corb seems to acquire some temperature dependence, suggesting an increasing influence of spin-orbit coupling. The temperature dependence of the spin-lattice relaxation rate T1-1(T) confirms significant variations in the dynamics of this electronic subsystem between 200 and 300K, as previously suggested. Below 200 K, Na0.7CoO2 may be viewed as a weak antiferromagnet with TN below 1 K but this scenario still leaves a number of open questions.

description: The present study investigated the prevalence of male sexual dysfunction, with specific focus on the impact of anxiety and quality of intimate relationships on it. The study employed a cross-sectional design, utilizing a sample (N = 416) of adult heterosexual males from the Greek general population (M = 49, SD = 0.60), recruited from a widely used social media platform. Elevated levels of state and trait anxiety were found to have a negative correlation with erectile function levels, whereas higher levels of relationship quality were positively correlated with erectile function. Regression analysis revealed a significant negative impact of diabetes mellitus and state-trait anxiety, as well as a positive impact of marital quality and the use of erectile aids on erectile function. The findings suggest it is essential to consider psychological factors and marital quality when assessing and treating sexual dysfunction.

description: The BATAT Marketing Drive aims to improve the market access of small scale farmers; in previously disadvantaged communities. The importance of marketing in rural development cannot be overemphasised. It is the profit incentive which encourages farmers to produce commercially. An overview of the present production and marketing activities of small scale farmers was obtained and the marketing constraints experienced by small scale farmers were identified. Constraints include a lack of transport services, a lack of road infrastructure, communication infrastructure and storage facilities. Farmers also need training and a regular source of market information. Provincial Departments of Agriculture can play a role in providing this information and training. Infrastructure, however, is a function of other government departments and in some cases private companies. The establishment of rural processing facilities should be encouraged. Farmers can also seize some marketing opportunities by working together in their production and marketing activities.

description: The Uganda government has since 1987 initiated a sequence of tax reforms to address the fiscal challenges facing the country. This paper uses a Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) model to analyze the welfare effects of tax reforms on households and the impact of these challenges on production and firm activities. The findings are consistent with previous studies which found that the introduction of VAT was indeed a progressive policy reform. Zero rating all food items and agricultural products mainly benefit the low income households whose consumption basket is mainly food items. In a quest for further sources of revenue by overtaxing the rich, this could generate further revenues albeit lower savings and investments by this group. Finally, over-reliance on excise duties especially on petroleum and alcohol drinks affects the transportation sectors which are also used by the poor. In our results we find that taxation of petrol and rising excise duties indeed is a regressive policy stance.
Traction motor cooling systems, a literature review and comparative study

Subjects: subject: 600: Technik

description: More efficient cooling systems are an enabler for the increase in power-density in an electric traction motor. Contemplating to existing reviews, this paper presents a comprehensive collection of heat transfer mechanisms for the different heat removal techniques used in electric traction motors. In the first section, an overview of various cooling concepts in existing and future traction motors is presented and the cooling approaches are compared. The following literature review compiles geometry-based calculation formulas of the different mechanisms of cooling heat transfer applied in motor-technology. Furthermore general heat transfer phenomena appearing in electric traction motors are reviewed and compiled for easy access. Various specifically relevant aspects, including rotor shaft cooling, different spray cooling concepts, different air convection phenomena, bearing heat transfer and the stator-housing-contact, are examined in more detail. For validation of the review result, based on a well-known motor design a thermal analysis and comparison of the different cooling methods is carried out. Modeling is done with a lumped parameter thermal networks (LPTN). The paper concludes demonstrating the advantages and disadvantages of the different cooling concepts based on the collection of modeling data.

description: We show that within a recently developed nonlocal chiral quark model the critical density for a phase transition to color superconducting quark matter under neutron star conditions can be low enough for these phases to occur in compact star configurations with masses below 1.3 M_sun. We study the cooling of these objects in isolation for different values of the gravitational mass and argue that, if the quark matter phase would allow unpaired quarks, the corresponding hybrid stars would cool too fast. The comparison with observational data puts tight constraints on possible color superconducting quark matter phases. Possible candidates with diquark gaps of the order of 10 keV - 1 MeV such as the "2SC+X" and the color spin locking (CSL) phase are presented.

description: Uganda still lags behind in its tax collections at the domestic level. For most of the commodities the tax collection effort is not more than 5 percent relative to the statutory rate of 18 percent. This results into a situation where the government has to rely a lot on foreign financing. From the analysis, there is a lot of improvement where URA can be able to increase its tax effort. this could be achieved by targeting commodities that are under-taxed and excluding food items for equity purposes. Increasing domestic collection would also result into less over reliance on taxing a few commodities especially fuel which is interlinked with a lot of other sectors and could indeed harm growth in the long-run. We also find that the tax effort on imports is sufficient. However, import duties on fuel remain very high and this could be a symptom of the poor domestic tax collection.

description: As increasingly impressive quantum information processors are realized in laboratories around the world, robust and reliable characterization of these devices is now more urgent than ever. These diagnostics can take many forms, but one of the most popular categories is tomography, where an underlying parameterized model is proposed for a device and inferred by experiments. Here, we introduce and implement efficient operational tomography, which uses experimental observables as these model parameters. This addresses a problem of ambiguity in representation that arises in current tomographic approaches (the gauge problem). Solving the gauge problem enables us to efficiently implement operational tomography in a Bayesian framework computationally, and hence gives us a natural way to include prior information and discuss uncertainty in fit parameters. We demonstrate this new tomography in a variety of different experimentally-relevant scenarios, including standard process tomography, Ramsey interferometry, randomized benchmarking, and gate set tomography.

description: The current wave of volatile international oil process coupled with the low hydro-energy generation continues to exert negative impacts on the Ugandan economy. This paper analyzes the extent to which changes in energy prices affect the economy and examines policy options that can be undertaken to circumvent the negative effects. The impact of higher oil prices takes a large toll on all sectors including agriculture, manufacturing and services. With the existing loses in productivity of generating hydro electricity, this has exacerbated the energy crisis. The combined output loss for the manufacturing sector due to increase in fuel prices and a shortage of electricity is estimated at 2 percent on annual basis. While the government has title control on the international prices of oil, further private and public investments in the energy sector are called for to alleviate the shortages of energy.

description: With increasing environmental concerns, increasing population, changing tastes and preferences of consumers towards healthier foods, and with more food safety requirements, agronomic practices have changed gradually to provide not only food and fiber but also public goods and other beneficial services from agriculture. Cover cropping is one type of technology increasingly being adopted by producers of multifunctional agriculture. Cover crops provide a range of benefits, both private and public. In this paper we identify factors affecting farmers’ choice to adopt cover crops. We examine the impact on nitrogen use from adopting cover crops and the resultant decrease in input costs. Using a two-stage approach that incorporates endogeneity of adoption in nitrogen management, we conclude that farmers adopting cover crop technologies, that increase production efficiency, tend to decrease nitrogen fertilizer use by 4.75%, as hypothesized by Smith (2002).

description: This work focuses on generating realistic, physically-based human behaviors from multi-modal inputs, which may only partially specify the desired motion. For example, the input may come from a VR controller providing arm motion and body velocity, partial key-point animation, computer vision applied to videos, or even higher-level motion goals. This requires a versatile low-level humanoid controller that can handle such sparse, under-specified guidance, seamlessly switch between skills, and recover from failures. Current approaches for learning humanoid controllers from demonstration data capture some of these characteristics, but none achieve them all. To this end, we introduce the Masked Humanoid Controller (MHC), a novel approach that applies multi-objective imitation learning on augmented and selectively masked motion demonstrations. The training methodology results in an MHC that exhibits the key capabilities of catch-up to out-of-sync input commands, combining elements from multiple motion sequences, and completing unspecified parts of motions from sparse multimodal input. We demonstrate these key capabilities for an MHC learned over a dataset of 87 diverse skills and showcase different multi-modal use cases, including integration with planning frameworks to highlight MHC's ability to solve new user-defined tasks without any finetuning.

description: This study utilizes survey data analyzed at the regional level to obtain additional insights which may be left unnoticed if the analysis only considers data at the state level. The current analysis reveals that farm operators’ and/or landowners’ decision to participate in the agritourism industry in Arkansas is affected by state government infrastructure. But these infrastructures are varied among regions. The infrastructures are state government support in training the farm operators; in promotion and marketing as well as certainty and transparency in laws and regulations. State government’s sponsored trainings in agritourism along with marketing and promotion are viewed as the most important factors in all studied regions that affect operators’ decision to participate in the program. This finding suggests that state agricultural extension agencies can play an important role in the future to ensure the success of the newly developed agritourism industry in Arkansas.

description: A literature search was conducted using various databases, following the inclusion and exclusion criteria outlined in the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) model. The review showed that theories from developmental psychology—such as Daniel Stern's affect attunement, Colwyn Trevarthen's intersubjectivity, and Stephen Malloch's communicative musicality in mother-infant communication—provide significant theoretical foundations for clinical music therapists. These theories inform the use of music and its elements to form relational experiences and therapeutic relationships in interactive music therapy practice.

Some astrophysical implications of dark matter and gas profiles in a new galaxy clusters model

description: The structure of the dark matter and the thermodynamical status of the hot gas in galaxy clusters is an interesting and widely discussed topic in modern astrophysics. Recently, Rasia et al. (2004) have proposed a new dynamical model for the mass density profile of clusters of galaxies as a result of a set of high resolution hydrodynamical simulations of structure formation. We investigate the lensing properties of this model evaluating the deflection angle, the lensing potential and the amplification of the images. We reserve particular attention to the structure and position of the critical curves in order to see whether this model is able to produce radial and tangential arcs. To this aim, we also investigate the effect of taking into account the brightest cluster galaxy in the lensing potential and the deviations from spherical symmetry mimicked by an external shear. We also analyze the implication of the gas density and temperature profiles of the Rasia et al.(2004) model on the properties of the X - ray emission and the comptonization parameter that determines the CMBR temperature decrement due to the Sunyaev - Zel'dovich effect.

Gradient effects on false vacuum decay in gauge theory

description: We study false vacuum decay for a gauged complex scalar field in a polynomial potential with nearly degenerate minima. Radiative corrections to the profile of the nucleated bubble as well as the full decay rate are computed in the planar thin-wall approximation using the effective action. This allows to account for the inhomogeneity of the bounce background and the radiative corrections in a self-consistent manner. In contrast to scalar or fermion loops, for gauge fields one must deal with a coupled system that mixes the Goldstone boson and the gauge fields, which considerably complicates the numerical calculation of Green's functions. In addition to the renormalization of couplings, we employ a covariant gradient expansion in order to systematically construct the counterterm for the wave-function renormalization. The result for the full decay rate however does not rely on such an expansion and accounts for all gradient corrections at the chosen truncation of the loop expansion. The ensuing gradient effects are shown to be of the same order of magnitude as non-derivative one-loop corrections.

description: An accelerated boundary correspondence (ABC) is solved for the de Sitter moving mirror cosmology. The beta Bogoliubov coefficients reveal the particle spectrum is a Planck distribution with temperature inversely proportional to horizon radius. The quantum stress-tensor indicates a constant emission of energy flux consistent with eternal equilibrium, while the total energy carried by the particles remains finite. The curved spacetime transformation to flat spacetime with an accelerated boundary is illustrated, and also shown for Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime.

An 850-micron SCUBA map of the Groth Strip and reliable source extraction

description: We present an 850-micron map and list of candidate sources in a 70 arcmin^2 sub-area of the Groth Strip observed using SCUBA. We initially detect 7 candidate sources with signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) between 3.0 and 3.5 and 4 candidate sources with SNR > 3.5. Simulations suggest that on average in a map this size one expects 1.6 false positive sources for SNR > 3.5 and 4.5 for 3 < SNR < 3.5. Flux boosting in maps is a well known effect and we have developed a simple Bayesian prescription for estimating the unboosted flux distribution and used this method to determine the best flux estimates of our sources. This method is easily adapted for any other modest signal-to-noise survey in which there is prior knowledge of the source counts. We performed follow-up photometry in an attempt to confirm or reject 5 of our source candidates. We confirm the reality of 2 of the SCUBA sources, although at lower levels than suggested in the map and we find that the photometry results are consistent with and confirm the de-boosted map fluxes. Our final candidate source list contains 3 sources, including the 2 confirmed detections and 1 further candidate source with SNR > 3.5 which has a reasonable chance of being real.
